5/17/2023 0 Comments Southern italy magna graeciaThis figure of a woman with a lotus flower dates from about 500BC Mr Settis told me that as a native of Calabria, he had first become fascinated by an unexpected legacy of Magna Graecia - the large number of ancient Greek words that have survived more than 2,000 years in his local dialect. They provided some of the first documentary evidence about the lives of the Greek-speaking ancient inhabitants of this part of the Mediterranean. They bear ancient inscriptions on one side in Greek and, on the other, a text dating from several hundred years later in Latin. Two large sheets of bronze, known as the Tablets of Heraclea, dug up in 1732 and now in the Naples museum, are also on show in Catanzaro. The area around them has delivered up some stunning archaeological discoveries, including wall paintings, elaborate bronze containers for honey, wine and oil, and inscriptions which provide important clues about this now almost vanished world. Some of Europe's finest Greek temples are still to be seen at Paestum, south of Naples. There are also gold and silver coins, ancient maps, books, inscriptions and Greek vases, as well as portrait busts and votive offerings to Greek gods whose shrines once dotted the Italian landscape. They were originally dug up or recovered from the sea all around the coasts of southern Italy, but are now scattered in museums and private collections around Europe.Ĭities began to decline after 5th Century Salvatore Settis of the University of Pisa, one of Italy's leading archaeologists, has brought together in Catanzaro, Calabria's regional capital, more than 800 pieces of sculpture in marble and terracotta from Magna Graecia. It is a jigsaw puzzle with many pieces still missing. Only very recently have archaeologists been able to reconstruct their history. However, their cities and culture were later destroyed by the Romans. They settled around the hospitable coastline of Calabria and Sicily, dominating local tribes, building huge temples to their gods and founding Greek-speaking colonies. Long before the Roman empire flourished, they sailed west in search of new lands. The migrations of modern Europe are nothing new.īut for the ancient Greeks, southern Italy was their America. Its subject is Magna Graecia, or Greater Greece - the name given to parts of southern Italy colonised by the ancient Greeks 2,500 years ago. Hundreds of rare and beautiful pieces are on displayĪ world-class archaeological exhibition opened this week in Calabria, in the toe of Italy. 5/17/2023 0 Comments Ps1 dracula resurrectionAfter all, I am a fan of the original novel, so “why not?” I thought.Graphics (score 6/10): Well, this section is a bit of a mixed bag. So, I didn’t really have terribly high hopes for this when I bought it, but it was so cheap (I literally got mine for less than $5) that I figured it was worth a try. Does the idea of a point n’ click game based on the original Bram Stoker novel seem like it reeks of cheapness and copout to you? To make matters worse, the cover art features a picture of Dracula that just drips of that cheesy, old black-and-white monster movie feel. For example, I found Shadow of Destiny for the PS2, and now, Dracula: The Resurrection for the PS1. After buying a bunch of games for the DS (including the extremely awesome Phoenix Wright series, which I highly recommend), I started to notice that this genre actually appeared (rarely) on older consoles. I’ve recently become a fan of the point and click adventure game genre after it’s revival on the Nintendo DS (I know this genre has been around for ages on PC but I’m not a PC gamer, so the DS is really my first exposure to this genre–my first point n’ click game was Hotel Dusk). As stubbon as you are, you disregard her advice and travels on…Explore beautifully detailed enviroments…Immerseve yourself in this dark and misty world…Challenge yourself with mind blowing riddles…And keep your blood cold…or elseDon’t doubt your sanity…or you will failLook out for the monstrous she devilsthey will by all means…keep you locked away in the castle…Explore everything from Dracula’s bedroom to the secret chambers and dungeons of the castle…Seek the knowledge of the ancient witch Dorko…she will “help” you, or not!!!As your heart beat rises and your sanity is questionedremains the dusty walls of Draculas ancients castle…I will only say it once, buy it you won’t regret it. You find yourself at the Borgo Pass, walk around a little and you get to the Barina Inn.She greets you with a humble and scared smile, she tells you to wait until morning to travel further. (ha,ha,ha,sorry)It starts with an outstanding opening, the story is told and your journey begins. It became parrent to me that I was beginning a journey through endless darkness in Transylvania.I won’t waste my liner notes with telling you what its about, you will figure it out sooner or later. I remember the first time I played it, It was december the night before christmas, I was stunned by the animation of this game. If you liked this game (as I did) you will want to check out. This is no fast-paced fright fest, but works well as an entertaining, slower-paced mystery. In Borgo Pass you must first gather items around the Village to find your way into a mine that will allow you to sneak into Castle Dracula and once inside you must gather items that will lift a curse from a witch who will lead you to where Mina (the girl you must rescue) is being held prisoner. The game’s areas can be divided into two halves: Borgo Pass and Castle Dracula. It basically reopens the storyline that the novel closes. The only thing that is campy about this game is the animated cut scenes that feature crappy voicing (Jonathan Harker sounds exactly like Keanu Reeves in the Francis Ford Coppola movie Translyvanian villagers have cockney accents Dracula also doesn’t have an eastern-European accent) and herky-jerky character movement, but other than that this game is a fun little adventure. For one thing, the settings are beautifully rendered and the game gives you the ability to look in all directions. If your looking for a gory, terror-filled monster killing game that’ll keep you on your toes and at the edge of your seat, this isn’t the game for you, but as a fan of gothic horror and the Bram Stoker novel, I find it highly entertaining. The storyline advances with use of different items and solving of different puzzles. Journey across an eerie nighttime forest and an isolated Romanian Inn.This game is a first person adventure where you solve puzzles and collect items to use.Puzzles, challenges and an abundance of horrible evils await as you maneuver from one location to the next.1st person panoramic views properly convey the foreboding and terrifying mood.Thirsty for blood? Do you dare play this cat and mouse game with the (un)dead? Enter at your own risk. he's still alive?!īram Stoker's terrifying world is faithfully brought to life in this danger-riddled Point & Click adventure. Has Mina fallen prey to vampires? Or could this mean. Seven years after the slaying of Dracula, you play as Jonathan Harker, (the protagonist from Bram Stoker's original novel) and soon discover your wife, Mina has fled London for the Count's castle in Transylvania. A fright-filled Adventure that transpires in the heart of Transylvania. 5/16/2023 0 Comments Spring cleaning clipartTogether these principles allow animations that vary from cartoony to realistic mirror certain elements in real world movement. The twelve principles of animation are Squash and stretch, anticipation, staging, straight ahead action and pose to pose, follow through and overlapping action, slow in and out, arcs, secondary action, timing, exaggeration, solid drawing and appeal. The best example of this is the facial modelling, by using circles around eye areas like eyes and mouth similar to the muscles on an actual human face any emotion can be achieved With a basic understanding of anatomy it is possible to create human models to great effect. Good modelling for animation mirrors the muscles of the human body. It shatters any kind of empathy a viewer may have with the animated character if they suddenly distort slightly or part of the face clips through another piece, this can produce some horrifying effects such as teeth clipping through lips and eyelids disappearing behind the eyeball. This is especially important when it comes to facial animation, as even slight problems will be obvious to any person viewing. The topography should match to the rig to ensure clipping issues don't occur and should be skinned so as to move with the rig and not distort when certain parts are moved These deformities ruin any chance of making a clean animation and are the main reason why topography must be neat and set up with animating in mind. Good modelling set up for good animation is very important, if a model is poorly made then deformities will occur when a rig is applied and manipulated. So a good storyboard is all about organisation and language used, the artwork doesn’t need to be particularly amazing in terms of drawing skill, and the language used doesn’t need to be indepth explaining every little detail, it simple needs to say where the camera will move and what is happening in the panel it borders as long as it is clear and set up in an easy to understand way it is a good storyboard. These three simple things together mean that anybody can pick up the storyboard and create the animation it depicts. The third requirement is it needs an easy to understand layout, this is normally done by using evenly spaced boxes in rows with annotation below them. It needs clear annotation of what is actually being depicted within each panel, this is best done in type because again it must be read by others and must be understood. Several factors come in to creating a good storyboard, it needs clear, and concise directions that can not only be followed by the creator, but that can also be easily understood by anybody else, meaning that anybody can create the animation based on it. In very much the same way people think fondly of things they loved during childhood, they will reject any chances and always say the original was better, regardless of whether it actually was or not. Although it is technically a great leap forward many cling onto stop motion and puppetry due to feelings and nostalgia. Visual animation can be a great thing, or it can be hated, many people feel precious about certain styles of animation and any change to this can have disastrous effects on a franchise, the example that immediately springs to mind is that of starwars, the originals were loved and many people grew up watching them, these used models and puppets to give life to an entire galaxy, the more recent prequels however are hated and ridiculed by most fans due to the dislike many fans have for George Lucas’ obsession with the green screen. It is then of course no surprise that the animated world fascinates us so much, for it has been with us since the beginning of time and has grown as we have grown, from those humble beginnings it is hard to imagine the leaps forward made in animation, from hand drawn and stop motion, all the way up to full CGI movies and green screen the animation has become a powerful tool. The primitive ideas are there, various cave paintings show movement and walking cycles. Visual and Animated research with evaluationĪnimation has been around almost as long as humanity itself, some cave paintings date back as far as 40,000 years ago, and even these show primitive animations, such art was made to show perhaps what food was available in the area, or various behaviours of animals observed, or was maybe done to aid in storytelling. 5/16/2023 0 Comments Healthier mac and cheeseUsually, mac and cheese is made by making a roux which is a technical term for a sauce base that consists of flour and butter. It’s not as straightforward as you’d think! I’m talking about replicating that amazing version you always think of as the gold standard. These questions are even more perplexing once you’ve actually tried making homemade mac and cheese and realize achieving that saucy, cheesy flavor is not easy. A good mac and cheese should leave someone saying “Oh my!” and also “but how?”. And then you realize you’ve been cheated. Mac and cheese from the box feels like it has its place until you try some real honest homemade mac and cheese. Seeing that Macaroni and Cheese is so high on that list, I figured it was about time I shared a recipe for it on here! When I think of cravings, I think of intensely cheesy and carb-loaded foods. Go ahead & indulge in your favorite classic! It's creamy, cheesy, full of flavor, plus half the calories as a restaurant version. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes so cheese (and muffin) can firm.Healthier Mac and Cheese is everything you want from the classic comfort food dish. Sprinkle each muffin with Parmesan over the top and bake for 30 minutes, or until tops are slightly browned. For this variation, add an additional tablespoon of cornstarch to the milk mixture, in order to help the muffins stay firm. Variation: Make mac and cheese muffins by splitting the mixture among 20 standard muffin tins (about 1/3 cup in each). Sprinkle with Parmesan and place under a preheated broiler for 4 to 7 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy check often to make sure cheese does not burn. Transfer to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish coated with oil spray. Pour the butternut squash puree into the cheese sauce and stir until combined, then add the butter and stir until it is completely melted and combined.Īdd the sauce to the cooked macaroni and stir until everything is evenly coated. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and no lumps remain. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the shredded cheese. Return sauce to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine. In a small bowl or cup, mix the cornstarch with remaining ¼ cup cold milk. Place over medium heat, and cook until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of milk with onion powder, dry mustard, paprika, remaining ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. Add the macaroni and follow the directions on the package for al dente pasta, about 7 minutes. While butternut squash bakes, prepare the pasta and cheese sauce: Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil. Allow to cool before adding cubes to a blender or food processor and pureeing. Place baking sheet in oven and roast for about 20 minutes or until squash is cooked through. Mist the tops of the butternut squash with oil spray and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Mist a baking sheet with oil spray and add the cubes of butternut squash. If using block cheese, shred the cheese using the large side of a box grater, and set it aside. 5/16/2023 0 Comments Updating mugen screenpacksThis version is the original release of the MUGEN 3 Galaxy screenpack and is natively compatible with M.U.G.E.N 1.0, running at 640x480 resolution the screenpack itself features a total of four different motifs split into two sets-one for custom portraits and the other for default portraits-with each set having two different roster sizes, labelled as 'Motif1', Motif2', Motif3' and 'Motif4', respectively. MUGEN 3 Galaxy is futuristic in appearance, featuring a primarily silver 'frame' aesthetic with bright, neon text colours for the menus and the player's team, with blue representing player 1 and green representing player 2 certain elements give the screenpack similarities to BrokenMUGEN in that they make the screenpack seem 'glitchy' or 'dysfunctional', which is particularly evident with the intermittent static over the menu text and custom character portraits, as well as the occasional bright flashes that occur on every menu and during round transitions. As the 1.0 version is incompatible with 1.1, a version compatible with 1.1 has been released by gui0007. Unlike other screenpacks made especially for M.U.G.E.N 1.0, H-Loader deliberately chose against making it HD as it would 'weigh too much', instead opting for a standard 640x480 resolution. MUGEN 3 Galaxy is a screenpack created by H-Loader that was originally released for M.U.G.E.N 1.0, but was ported to WinMUGEN a year later to celebrate the release of the no-limit hack. 5/16/2023 0 Comments Heat reflectorApplications for Dontech heat shield filters include outdoor point of sale displays, military applications, portable electronics, mobile computers, and boating displays.įor additional information on heat reflective optical coatings, please contact a Dontech applications engineer, or request a hard copy of the data sheet be sent to you.

When used in conjunction with ancillary cooling, often passive LCDs will function properly in many demanding environments. HeatShield™ filters are used to significantly prolong the function of LCDs in direct sunlight, and to reduce the thermal loading of high intensity backlights on the display. For example, an LCD will typically “brown out” if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as the rate with which the heat is absorbed by the display often exceeds its ability to radiate this energy. Excessive thermal loading on an LCD will render the display unreadable until it cools. This makes them ideal for a variety of high-performance exterior applications, even when exposed to high humidity and strong ultraviolet light. The thermal conductivity of different types of polyethylene foam ranges from 0.029 to 0.032 W / (m K). They are hypoallergenic and safe for human health.
