![]() They could wait a week, a month or a year before heading back to the time, preferably to sometime a little before the villain’s arrival and then go ahead and duke it out as they do. If one bad guy time-traveler has gone back in time to, say, 1962, the protagonists need to rush back to stop him from his dastardly plan.They don’t need to rush. ![]() The show continues to suffer from a common chrono-illogic seen in most “we have to fix the time-line” plots. To quote Rufus, “The Lone Ranger’s black? That’s awesome!” The show went on to include episodes featuring Katherine Johnson (the main character of the true story Hidden Figures) and Bass Reeves (which literally brought forth cheers in my household.) If you don’t know who Bass Reeves is, look him up. This isn’t a perfect moment, but it serves as a nice follow up, directly addressing my comments. On his way into a club filled with Black Panthers, Rufus quotes Lucy the same lines back to her. But Timeless went on to do something interesting with this moment, playing a long-game I had not anticipated.Įpisode 6 of the show takes this scene and redresses it by reversing the roles. I was annoyed not because this seemed unrealistic, but because it was rendered as a side story, barely of note. ![]() One of my complaints about the pilot was that Rufus is asked to wait outside a bar for his own safety and it is suggested he avoid eye-contact with anyone. I hoped that would change in future episodes, and I am happy to be back to report that, for the most part, it did. I went on to say I was disappointed in the show, and that line would like likely be the best in the series. There is literally no place in American history that’ll be awesome for me.” Way back in October, in simpler times, I wrote that I was excited for Timeless because because of this snippet in the trailer from Malcolm Barrett:

![]() As a teacher recited the words for the numbers 1 to 10 in Comanche, the group repeated them and wrote them down. "We tell these parents to follow their little ones around and expose them to as much Comanche as possible," said Ronald Red Elk, a leader of the CLCPC.Īt the school in Walters, the group of students represented a generational cross-section of the tribe, from young children to their parents and two elders. The group has also taught the language to some families, even going as far as to give financial incentives for some to teach their children Comanche. The Comanche Language and Cultural Preservation Committee (CLCPC) has created a dictionary, developed language courses and CDs of Comanche songs and holds annual courses in five Oklahoma towns in which large numbers of Comanche live. In Oklahoma, the 14,000-strong Comanche people, who little more than a century ago were rulers of the Great Plains, are trying to pull back their language from the brink. Most people think of trying to save exotic languages as something that happens in Africa or South American jungles. To many Americans, the development comes as a surprise. Tribal colleges from South Dakota to Michigan to Minnesota are doing courses in Indian languages. In Wyoming, the Arapaho tribe have set up a school to educate their children in their native language, not English. Efforts range from college courses and immersion schools for young people to simply recording the languages before the last native speakers die. Across America, similar scenes are being played out as Native American tribes try to revive their languages, many of which are on the edge of extinction. ![]() Whether you want to play as an emphatic leader or a ruthless survivor, This War of Mine is a game you can come back to many times over and still find something new. ![]() Its intuitive gameplay makes it easy to get lost in its morally ambiguous narrative and the tough decisions you will need to make to ensure your party's survival. This War of Mine is one of the most heartfelt depictions of what it's like to be a civilian trying to survive in the middle of a brutal and unforgiving civil war. From its gritty, down-to-earth wartorn setting, its diverse and fleshed-out characters, and a story that pulls no punches. ![]() This War of Mine is a survival game that stays with you long after you finish its campaign. If you've got the warrior spirit, Valheim is the perfect game to fight as Odin's champion and claim your place in Valhalla. Progression in this game hinges on defeating the bosses found in each biome, which in turn increases the diversity of resources you get access to, crafting recipes, and special abilities like reduced damage or increased stamina. Contrasting calm and idyllic base-building in early biomes, with heart-thumping battles against giant Trolls and deadly Mosquitos as you depart from the world's center Valheim gives hours of entertainment for warriors, farmers, and architects alike. Valheim's semi-impressionist aesthetic and diverse biomes give players plenty to explore and plunder in the 10th world of the Yggdrasil. We can’t wait to see what Obsidian cooks up when this micro-size beast of a game hits its full release. Grounded has a lot going for it, and it’s only in early access. You’ll build clubs from sticks, construct bases using blades of grass, and even wear armor made from the cacasses of the slain. The enemies are all sorts of creepy crawling creatures, and everything else is used to keep yourself alive. The bones that Obsidian built Grounded on are typical, but solid, for a survival game. Let’s face it, if you suddenly were reduced to insect size and thrown into a backyard, you’d be keen on surviving that ordeal as well. Grounded took that and built a fully-realized survival game around it. The movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” had already established that there’s a whole tiny world our normal human eyes could never grasp, so it only makes sense that that idea would make its way into a video game. When Grounded released into Early Access back in 2020, it was a concept we couldn’t believe hadn’t already existed. Rust will consume a lot of your time and you will get wrecked. Bring a friend, or several, if you want to make the most of it. With factions, raids, an electricity system, a huge variety of vehicles including hot air balloons and a massive network of trains, several kinds of highly moddable servers, a robust player base, and fairly frequent improvements and updates, Rust goes well past the "you wake up naked and alone in a deserted area" concept. At first glance, this game bears a strong resemblance to Ark: Survival Evolved, but the open-world and FPS elements are entirely different. The game is multiplayer only, so if you thought you were going to build your rustic abode in peace, you thought wrong. Have we underlined enough that this game is not easy? Rust advertises itself as having only one main objective: survive in a place where everything wants to kill you – the terrain, wildlife, weather, and oh yes, other players. If you have a high pain tolerance, then Rust might be right up your alley! That said, if you're looking for a survival game that will keep you on your toes, Rust is equal parts exhilarating and very difficult. Note: this also works with items and imbuing elements (Fire beetle eye, storm shard, etc.)Ĭhampions: Return to Arms Hint: Caves of Mt Grenidor They will still have the items and weapons. Go back and start a level on your own without the CON character. Your new character can now pick them up and use them as they like (sell or use). Once you start, drop all the weapons and armor from the CON character. ![]() If you have a character from Champions of Norrath, and he or she has better weapons than you can find, start a level with that past character and another character of your choice.(level doesn't matter). If you do this to a summoned weapon (like throwing axes) the effect will stay with the weapon as long as the number you carry never drops below zero.Ĭhampions: Return to Arms Hint: Importing Characters In Champions: Return to Arms, you can imbue weapons with special abilities. Then go back to the forest of Norrack (You might want to complete the nightmare stage first or your data for the level will be erased) and enter the hidden tomb to the left of the caves (now that you have the shovel) and use the spell to open the sealed door to later face "tomb robber" the secret boss.Ĭhampions: Return to Arms Hint: Maintain Weapon Effects Then complete the level and move on to the forest of nightmares stage and find the spiritual incantations scroll in the dungeons. While playing the forest of Norrack on mission mode, enter the caves and search through the jars until you find the archeologists shovel. * dmg: ~220-270 * +50 strength * 100% health regeneration * lvl 33 to equip * weight: ~19.2Ĭhampions: Return to Arms Unlockable: Hidden Tomb While the sword has a level minimum of 33, you don't have to be any particular level to draw it out. Once you defeat the last boss (Innoruuk), you'll "feel like a champion." Now you can go back and draw the sword from the stone. You need all 11 Bloodstones to get into the extra area in that last bonus round. For example: if you have a staff with a cold gem in it, and you use the spell 'cold weapons' on characters with other enchantments, When the spell wears off they will lose their original enchantment.Ĭhampions: Return to Arms Unlock Sword In The Stoneīeat a series of 5 bosses in the last bonus round (the Bloodstone one). Also, the wizard's weapon abilities have a glitch that can remove enchantments. This includes items with man/health bonuses.

Images and Image Stacks in Fiji Working with Image Channelsįiji has built-in tools to manipulate multi-channel composite and RGB images. Based on these masks, objects of interest can be classified and analyzed for size, geometry, pixel intensities, etc. The enhanced image can then be converted into binary image masks that define groups of pixels as objects. The cleaned-up image may then be processed to enhance certain features, e.g. The original image (or raw data) that serves as input for the image processing pipeline may contain background noise that may need to be removed by applying specifc image filters. Image processing and analysis procedures often share a common workflow as shown here. They are used for masking and segmentation of object areas of interest in an image.
