![]() ![]() XDefiant is going to the PS5, Xbox X|S and PC. Good news around, right? Hopefully, a proper release date will soon be revealed. Oh well, I don’t think something I missed. The fan asked Rubin for the headshot symbol that was in the killfeed and it was confirmed that it was something that the dev team missed and it will be added. On the other hand, Rubin revealed the fact that one-life modes such as Search & Destroy are effective incoming, though there is a lot of work needed to make it to its final iteration. The first and second parties often have a list of must-fixes for the first and third season of games. Most games fail the first and even the second. Rubin confirmed that failing was part of the release schedule, since most games fail its first and even second submission. Seeing the progress, a fan asked Rubin what happens if the game fails its certification. What a party? Rubin explained to a fan that he was real’s platform-holder. We won’t really know until we get the reports back from the first parties on our submission. The release schedule of the game was changing. Hope everything is done.Īlso, that is not an update on the process. But we made the test harder for the game. I know that it has already been a little time since our beta, so that means only the first step towards the launching is soon, however, when we do not get ahead of our betas, our real test will be done only moments of marketing. Don’t worry, as soon as I have more information, I’ll share it. It is in a lot of trouble getting approved by some first parties, but because this is our first attempt to get this engine through cert, this will take a bit longer than usual. This time, one’s right, a quick look at what is happening. ![]() Do not worry, if I have any more information, no worries!įor better reading, we have compiled the entire tweet chain below. We’re getting approved by the 1st parties, but since it’s our first time getting this version of the engine through cert, it’s going to take a little longer than usual. Quick insight into what is happening here. ![]() Now it is a matter of getting the approval from first-party platform holders for certification. Over on Twitter, the producer announced that the XDefiant release is still on track and nothing has changed on that front. The dev team announced the new release window for XDefiant, and its good news.

If not, you'll have to hang tight until tomorrow which is something a lot of redditors are having to do too. The game should still be added to your library. So much for trying to minimise junk mail. Preloads on PC have been open since June 16, but Rubin has flagged an issue with PC players not getting their Open Session email confirmation.Īs per Rubin's comments, and the dedicated page on Ubisoft's website, if you're eligible for the XDefiant open beta on PC but haven't received email confirmation, it might be because you've opted out of newsletters and emails from the publisher.

Wisdom was paramount to Black Elk’s whole existence since his vision as a child. The loss of the wisdom gained by his people was a concept that mortified Black Elk. From his birth to his old age, Black Elk lived through the entire westward expansion of whites into the land of his ancestors therefore he possessed a unique perspective on slowly going from a state of total freedom to one of dependence and servitude. This underlying dread of what is to come is pervasive in the text. Much of the narrative in Black Elk Speaks describes the tribesmen’s actions and fears concerning the encroachment onto their lands. The period in American history in which Black Elk lived witnessed the massive movement of whites into the Sioux territory seeking land and gold. This is how the wisdom of Black Elk comes through in the narrative, as a simple but relative story possessing many nuggets of observant truths. High Horse gets the girl through persistence and brave acts, Red Deer shows the rewards of loyalty by following his cousin on the warpath and coming out a wealthy man, and the girl’s father caps it all with his display of guile in selecting a suitable husband for his daughter. Thus the lessons of life are displayed to the listener of the story. Instead the father revealed that the true price High Horse paid was in his showing that he was a man in obtaining the horses in such a skillful manner, and thus able to take care of his only daughter. When shown the herd of horses that High Horse offered the girl’s father acquiesced and allowed him to have his daughter, but not solely because of the amount of horses High Horse had offered. Returning to the tribe with his new herd, High Horse immediately rode up to the girl’s family teepee. ![]() ![]() The two youths killed the sentry guarding the Crow horses, and each made off with a small herd for himself. High Horse and Red Deer fell upon a Crow encampment that night. Red Deer, still wanting to help his friend and cousin, decided to follow. To help his cousin, Red Deer advised High Horse on two separate occasions to sneak into the girl’s teepee and make off with her, both attempts ended as comical failures.įinally, in a fit of disgust and embarrassment, High Horse proclaimed that he was going on the warpath since he could not have the girl. The disclosure by the girl only acted to frustrate High Horse more, and he eventually had to turn to his cousin Red Deer for help. ![]() Eventually, High Horse did made contact with the girl and learned of her similar feelings for him, but also learned that she wished to be earned from her father like a lady and not to be stolen away dishonorably. High Horse neither possessed the respect nor the wealth to obtain this girl from her parents, so he had to resort to stealth and trickery to gain any access to her at all. High Horse’s Courting begins when a youth named High Horse falls madly in love with a girl of his tribe. Typically, Black Elk’s narratives try to bestow a lesson (or lessons) that the listener can learn from, just as the subject of the story sometimes does. The story of High Horse’s Courting stands out as a perfect example of one of Black Elk’s narratives. Most important in these lessons on the nature of man was wisdom, and in all of Black Elk’s recollections somewhere a deeper wisdom can be found. Through these stories, greater insight can be gained into the ways of the Sioux, as well as lessons into the nature of all men. These stories ran the whole gambit of life experiences from the most innocent acts of a boy in love, to the hard lessons learned from the treachery of the whites. The wisdom possessed by Black Elk is immediately present in his recollections of various lessons learned by himself and by others. It is from the strength of this vision, and the wisdom in his heart that Black Elk eventually realized his place as a leader and wise man in the Ogalala band of the Sioux. ![]() Black Elk’s childhood vision stayed with him throughout his life, and it offered him aid and wisdom whenever he sought it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Zenon brought Guillermo Klein on board to write arrangements for the ten-piece woodwind and brass ensemble that joins with the saxophonist's quartet, and the results are mesmerizing. While this album doesn't match its predecessor Esta Plenain the rhythmic vibrancy category, it surpasses it in terms of musical scope, power and sophistication. Composers like Sylvia Rexach, Rafael Hernandez, and Bobby Capo receive their due here, as Zenon salutes their contributions to the Puerto Rican Songbook. While those earlier efforts were original affairs which tied Puerto Rican folkloric traditions into Zenon's compositional mindset, this album is about bringing Zenon's voice and originality into new arrangements of classic songs from his native country. While Zenon has put out a few albums that don't touch on his heritage, Alma Adentro: The Puerto Rican Songbook is his third effort, following Jibaro (Marsalis Music, 2005) and Esta Plena (Marsalis Music, 2009), in promoting a fusion of Puerto Rican traditions and modern jazz ideals. the "genius grant") at such an early age, some feel that he has been wrongfully fast-tracked in a genre where the experience of elders is usually prized over the enthusiasm and creative spirit of youth but his solo albums and continuing work with the SFJAZZ Collective, as the only remaining charter member of that groundbreaking group, have confirmed how deserving he really is of all of the positive press, awards and honors that have been thrust upon him. Having already received a Guggenheim Fellowship and MacArthur Fellowship (a.k.a. As of the recording of this 2011 album, Zenon, only in his early thirties, has already carved out a place as one of the defining saxophone voices of his generation. While calling somebody a "star" in jazz might seem like an oxymoron, when considering the lower-than-deserved profile of the genre on the national and international stages, Zenon fits the bill like few others. ![]() Pianist Danilo Pérez has connected the dots between music from his native Panama and jazz, and alto saxophone star Miguel Zenon is doing the same thing for Puerto Rico. Thankfully, some important jazz musicians are helping to broaden the rest of the world's view on what Latin America has to offer. ![]() While it's true that Afro-Cuban stylings, bossa nova beats and sizzling samba numbers seem to dominate in this umbrella category, they're only the tip of the iceberg that is the music of Latin America. When so-called "Latin jazz" comes up in conversation, music or musicians connected to Cuba or Brazil are usually the topic of conversation. ![]() ![]() * Color managed workflow: choose between display transform, linear light and OpenColorIO transforms * Multichannel OpenEXR and Radiance import and export * Maintain a true 32-bit lossless workflow and preview full tonal range * Edit effortlessly in 32-bit unbounded color format ![]() * Unique Persona for Advanced Tone Mapping * HDR/32-bit* Merge bracketed exposures together to create 32-bit images * Isolate and edit spare channels as layers * Save pixel selections as spare channels * Work on channels for document, layer, adjustment, filter, selection or mask * Channels:* View and isolate color channels * Liquify tools in dedicated Persona workspace * Crop to original/custom ratios, absolute dimensions or print sizes * Sizing and transforming:* Resize images and canvas * Drag-and-drop colors from Chroma app (SoftPress) * Import Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) color palettes (including spot colors) * Gradient tool (Linear, Elliptical, Radial, Conical, Bitmap) * Color Picker Tool (color mode aware, pick from anywhere on screen, color averaging, layer selection) * Color panel (RGB, HSL, LAB, CMYK, Grayscale) * CMYK, Lab, Grayscale and RGB color modes * Apple ProRAW DNG support (iPhone12 Pro) * Update to supported Raw Camera list (SerifLabs RAW Engine) * Hot pixel removal (SerifLabs RAW Engine only) * Show clipped highlights, shadows, and tones (in output color space) * Solid and gradient overlays for restricting adjustments * Dedicated tones, lens, noise reduction and sharpening panels * Develop assistant for setting default tone, lens correction, noise reduction, and exposure control behavior * Automatic (and manual) lens correction and noise reduction * Remove automatic tone curve and apply your own ![]() * Surface Studio with Surface Pen and Surface Dial support * Embedded Photoshop PSD Smart Objects retain editability * Photoshop plugin support (includes DxO Nik Collection 2 plugins) * Create massive gigapixel-sized documents * Hardware GPU acceleration (OpenCL) for integrated, discrete and external GPUs ![]() ![]() ![]() Using this method, you would divide your cost of goods sold by your average inventory balance. In doing so, you will discover that your average product is on the shelf for less than one day.Ĭost of Goods Sold ÷ Your Average Inventory To figure out how many days you have inventory on hand, you just need to divide that number by 365. This means you turn over your entire amount of inventory a little over 17 times each year. There are actually two different ways to calculate your inventory turnover:ĭuring the year, let’s say you do about $70,000 in sales, and your average inventory balance is around $4,000. It uses numbers you should already have in your balance sheets and financial reports. Inventory turnover might sound complex, but the math behind it is really quite simple. It could also indicate that your products are priced low-maybe too low. Too high of turnover rate, and you run the risk of running out of product. ![]() However, there are some challenges here as well. If your inventory turnover is high? For the most part, that’s good news! Your goods are in demand and you’re moving product efficiently. Business owners who discover that their turnover needs some improvement might need to make some tweaks to their approach, such as lowering prices or changing products. If your inventory turnover is low, that usually means your sales are on the weaker side-products are sitting around for quite some time before actually being sold. This number is helpful not only for better managing your products and supply levels, but also for getting a general feel for how your business is performing Inventory turnover is the percentage of your inventory that you sell during a specified period of time. ![]() ![]() ![]() All these services help you manage long forms or other content you want to read later.

![]() ![]() It stars Tom Hanks as Phillips, alongside Barkhad Abdi as pirate leader Abduwali Muse. Based on the 2009 Maersk Alabama hijacking, the film tells the story of the eponymous Captain Richard Phillips, an American merchant mariner who was taken hostage by Somali pirates. Hanks’s ocean survival in Captain Phillips to Robert Redford’s hair-raising adventure as a single sailor adrift in the path of an apocalyptic storm at sea in the forthcoming All Is Lost, and you have two of the most powerful and absorbing competitions for Best Actor awards you will see this year.Captain Phillips is a 2013 American biographical action thriller film directed by Paul Greengrass. It’s a different kind of role for him, but he matches the epic scale of conflict at sea with the intimacy of an ordinary guy’s most private feelings in ways that are truly memorable. In the big emotional scenes, as well as the small, nerve-jangling scenes, he is an artist at the top of his skill. Hanks, in yet another in a long line of diverse character studies, does a beautiful job as the voice of reason and logic, trying to inspire bravery and maintain order amid the noise and panic. A lot of it is improvised, including the ending in the infirmary, featuring a number of nonactors who interact with the two-time Oscar-winning star like seasoned pros. But the lull is temporary, and, under the trigger-ready direction of Paul Greengrass, everything pays off handsomely in a series of well-timed encounters that keep you on the edge of your seat. The transfer, the tow, the exchange and the orders by telephone are elaborately detailed, and it all gets tedious. There’s a lot of talk between the big scenes, which might inspire restlessness among audiences expecting more. Bloody and near death, an ordinary man tests every strength he didn’t know he had before three giant American warships and an anti-piracy task force of Navy SEALS arrive, bringing the film’s long-awaited action with them. When the terrorists finally leave the ship in one tiny orange lifeboat, taking the captain with them as a hostage, the film switches gears, and the setting is reduced from the open water to the claustrophobia of capture. Armed with nothing but water hoses for defense, Captain Phillips faces an ordeal that requires cunning and courage beyond expectation. The mammoth freighter is in the middle of its first security drill when the crew on the bridge first spots the approaching skiffs, loaded with weapons. ![]() ![]() The film stretches from a pristine colonial house in New England, where Captain Phillips and his wife (Catherine Keener, in a small but vital cameo) talk about domestic issues on their way to the airport, to Solalah, Oman, where the captain boards the Alabama to transport 2,400 tons of cargo, including food and medical supplies, through the pirate-infested Somali basin on its way to Mombasa, Kenya. By the time this emotionally draining film reaches its resolution, you feel like you know them both, as well as the crews who follow their orders. Greengrass is the perfect director to juxtapose the harrowing experience of a peaceful civilian merchant mariner taken prisoner on his own ship with the motives of the economically deprived and desperate pirate who masterminds the ransom plot (played with tense ferocity by novice Somali actor Barkhad Abdi). Equally adept at building factual, documentary-style excitement and investigating the human elements behind headline events, Mr. Phillips’s book, A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days at Sea. With a screenplay by Billy Ray and cogent, realistic direction by the talented Paul Greengrass-who won praise for United 93, as well as combustible thrillers The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum-the movie is based on Capt. cargo ship Maersk Alabama and held Captain Richard Phillips of Vermont as a hostage, makes for a gripping, seamlessly staged film that is certain to win Tom Hanks another Oscar nomination in the title role. Despite a running time of more than two hours and minus the kind of explosive violence that keeps action buffs yelling for more, Captain Phillips, the true story of the 2009 crisis at sea in which Somali pirates hijacked the unarmed U.S. ![]() |
