He, in his own life, has suffered no oppression“ and added that “this is a nation that has overcome slavery.” But as we can see through 13TH, that point is not exactly true. When Colin Kaepernick decided to take a knee during the national anthem, Fox News host Sean Hannity said, "He’s a spoiled brat, out of touch, super rich athlete. As protests rage throughout the nation, different people have had varying reactions to these demonstrations. Regardless of your location or your socioeconomic background, there is absolutely no escaping this conversation people’s deep, contrasting perspectives have permeated their way into our politics, our high schools, our college campuses, and our professional sports. While the themes the film addresses have long been relevant, they may have a particular relevance today, what with the current conversation surrounding issues of police brutality and modern-day racism. But what makes this film an absolute must-see is how simply and directly the problem of institutionalized prejudice is addressed, and how it's correlated to our current lives. Racism and the policies born from it have existed for hundreds of years. Race is an incredibly tough subject to discuss, not just because it's such an emotional topic, but also because it has such an intimidating largess. 13TH rigorously demands that we know our history, as to ensure we don’t make the same mistakes in the future. One of the major themes presented throughout the film is how unaware most Americans are of the larger racialized dynamics that were used to negatively impact vulnerable black communities - whether it was the re-enslaving of black people throughout the reconstruction period, using the war on drugs to specifically target black folks, or now using the American Legislative Exchange Council to fund private prisons dependent on black bodies for income. This is not so much a history lesson, as it is a direct explainer of America’s past woes. What makes 13TH such an important film isn’t just its accurate presentation of historical context, but more importantly understanding how each step in American history has specifically contributed to the nations’ current reality. Clinton’s reducing poor black children to “super-predators.” Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, each played their own respective part in the mass criminalization and imprisonment of black bodies, from Trump’s prejudiced call for the execution of the Central Park 5, to Sec. The film also outlines how America's current presidential candidates, Sec. In the film, Newt Gingrich, a conservative Republican, speaks openly about working with CNN's Democratic pundit, Van Jones, on the need for anti-discriminatory policy. Each of the experts connects every individual incident to how undisguised prejudice became obscure and, as a result, even more insidious.ġ3TH clearly lays out the role that Republicans and Democrats both contributed to the problem of mass incarceration, and how they each are going about overcoming it. The audience is continually inundated with maddening footage of students being assaulted just for walking into a segregated school or sitting in a "whites only" restaurant, but the film's impact isn't predicated on an exhibition of violent videos and heartbreaking photos (like the open casket photo of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old black child who was tortured and murdered in 1955 for allegedly flirting with a white woman). They help set the framework for how that 13th amendment clause irreparably wove itself into the everyday social fabric of the 20th century.Īided with an abundance of archival photos and videos, the audience's mind is seared with images of the trauma that was the daily black experience in America from post-slavery years, to the tragic urban drug war in the ‘80s. a historian and director of the Hutchins Center for African and African-American Research at Harvard University. Experts include Michelle Alexander, the author of The New Jim Crow Angela Davis, a professor and a well known and respected revolutionary whose activism dates back to the 1960s and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Presented in a chronological manner, the film begins by investigating how the southern economy was immediately devastated by the abolition of slavery the ratification of the 13th amendment effectively halted the free labor provided by over 4 million enslaved black people.

Once I get a few bugs ironed out, and the other 5 episodes finished, I'll make an offical release of - That's the point, though.

No luck so far.Īs for making the secret doors slide, that's planned. I'm trying to find a good program that will convert it to sound just like the original. Since that's not possible in ZDoom at this time, it stays like it is. If I could adjust the view height, I would. I can't say what may happen in the future, though. Right now, I'm concentrating on recreating the look and feel of the original game, including the enemies, pickups, and HUD and the menus, intermission screens, and episode endings. Īlternatively, you can click the 'You're welcome to make new levels if you like. zip file is available at my Downloads page on my web site (or here for a direct link).Ī slightly outdated SVN for this TC is available at. In addition, this version takes advantage of many newer ZDoom features, including custom CVars to enable a functional highscore screen, optional map markers to allow sprite views of objects and enemies on the automap, modular (non-hard-coded) handling of end-of-episode messages, updated SBARINFO code, more accurately tweaked enemy definitions, and more! A full changelog can be viewed here.Īs always, the. The TC can either be run as before, closely emulating the appearance of Wolf3D and SoD, or can be run as a "consolidated" TC, with the 3 SoD mission sets added as additional episodes on the main episode selection screen. The biggest change with this version is that all 3 of the Spear of Destiny missions have been integrated into the TC. To coincide with the release of a new version of ZDoom, I'm releasing version 2.0 of my Wolf3D TC. Throughout the next few tracks you hear Abel doing what he does best, both sides of his trademark sound are showcased skilfully but it does feel as if it has been done before. From one collaboration to another, and unfortunately the Kendrick Lamar track doesn’t quite hold up in comparison. Lana’s beautiful ad libs highlight her immaculate higher register, providing the album with its best moment so far at almost the half way point. Sonically the tracks elements are pieced together perfectly, from the strange sound effects filling the gaps to the gorgeous synthetic pads it just keeps getting better. Their vocal tones are a match made in heaven, two artists who are not afraid to bend the rules but know how far to push it. Surprisingly the second feature on this album with Lana del Rey is actually listed as an interlude, at under 2 minutes it is still an absolute masterpiece. True Colours brings the tempo back down again with a sweet half time beat, it also features some very cleverly pitched backing vocals that add a lot of depth to another impressive song. Secrets however moved back towards this 80’s pop influence that is beginning to take over his sound, the slide guitar elements and slick tom rolls make for an irresistibly catchy listen. Rockin’ shows similarities to the popular I Can’t Feel My Face but this time it is much less disco and a little more Disclosure, the sexy house stabs and bass certainly do the trick, fans of Breach and Andreya Triana’s 2013 hit single Everything You Never Had will surely approve. The much softer accompaniment still has plenty of weight but holds back just enough to let the fantastic vocals shine. Reminder is up next and is the first glimmer of a classic The Weeknd hit, this one brings him into full R&B mode showing off with his usual onslaught of perfect melody and harmony writing. False Alarm is next and it jacks the tempo up considerably to a 80’s pop beat, the throwback style mixed with EDM elements end up with some untidy moments. Party Monster is a colder offering which once again tells stories of his drug filled past, the trap style production suits the much darker subject matter ‘woke up by a girl I don’t even know her name’. The album’s title track starts this off with a decent collaboration with french dance music wizards Daft Punk, his vocal performance is as good as ever but if anything the melodies seem all too familiar. With just a quick look at the track list and artists featured it is clear to see that he shows no sign of slowing down, Daft Punk, Lana Del Rey and Kendrick Lamar all play a part in telling this chapter of Abel’s story. Singles such as I Can’t Feel My Face and The Hills were both extremely well received, both showing polar opposite styles that he manages to pull off with ease. Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, has blessed his fans with a new 18 track album – it is his third release which follows on from the worldwide success of last year’s ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’. The singer (who is nominated twice in the inaugural Best Global Music Performance category) dedicated "Blewu" to "all the people out there who are making our life in confinement possible." As Ma added himself, "This is for those we have lost and for those who risk their lives so we don’t lose more." "Essence" - Wizkid Featuring Tems Kidjo's performance alongside Yo-Yo Ma is far more intimate, but no less powerful. Ma approached one of his favorite performers, Beninese singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo, to record a version of late Togolese singer Bella Bellow's heart-wrenching "Blewu." Kidjo has performed the song around the world, including in 2018 in front of world leaders at Paris’ Arc De Triomphe to honor fallen African soldiers on Armistice Day. "In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort," he wrote in an Instagram post. In the uncertain beginnings of the COVID-19 pandemic, world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma launched his #SongsOfComfort series, recording videos of himself playing alongside musicians he admired, each performing in their own homes. The sentiment is similar to the message he delivered in his acceptance speech last year: "This should be a lesson to every African out there: no matter where you are, no matter what you plan to do, you can achieve it." "Pà Pá Pà" - Femi Kuti “You for keep am real Africa/ They don't know how it feels to be Africa-na-na,” Burna Boy declares. Kidjo and Burna Boy trade off verses in their native languages (Fon and Yoruba, respectively), also singing some lines in English. She and Burna Boy - who celebrated his first win last year for his album Twice As Tall - come together on 'Do Yourself' over a breezy Afropop beat that suits both vocal styles. Kidjo is a four-time GRAMMY winner, most recently for her 2019 album, Celia. Their cross-generational collaboration, "Do Yourself," from Kidjo's 2021 album, Mother Nature (which also received a nomination for Best Global Music Album), is a true meeting of minds. Cole, J.I.Beninese singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo and Nigerian singer/rapper Burna Boy are two artists united in a mission to bring the sounds of Africa to the world.

Crash Tag Team Racing is a fun game has a mix of both racing and platforming but the new ideas are executed terribly but also the amount characters to play might feel a bet overwhelming. When you do this feature the game becomes a cake walk and it ruins the game. The new feature that the game introduces to the crash racers is going through other racers karts and joining them. The game also has great modes to play after completing the story mode. Crash Team Racing Review CTR has the staying power to convert people who havent ever liked a mascot racing game, and it will definitely please Mario Kart fans with its many tracks and options. The story is dumb but it’s expected, Also the game is very easy it’s so easy that the game becomes boring. The customization is very good with awesome karts and skins. Sadly there is only 8 characters which is a downgrade older crash racers had 15+ characters. All tracks are unique even the music supports that, the soundtrack is a joy to listen to. The game is mix of both platforming and racing, you platform to the level and race hence and repeat. The game is mix of both platforming and Crash Tag Team Racing is a thrilling racer that introduces new ideas, some succeed and some didn’t.

Sasuke to Sakura" ( Japanese: 宿敵!?サスケとサクラ) Through Naruto's guidance, Konohamaru is able to accept that he cannot follow in his grandfather's footsteps by his name alone. The two are eventually found by Konohamaru's mentor Ebisu, who sees Naruto as a bad influence on Konohamaru, with the resultant confrontation ending after Naruto uses Ebisu's lust against him, by combining his Sexy Jutsu and the Shadow Clone Jutsu to produce the overwhelming Harem Jutsu. In the process, Konohamaru reveals his own reasons for wanting to become Hokage and his desire to be recognised for his own achievements. While following Naruto, who is the first person to not see him solely as the Hokage's grandson, Konohamaru asks to be taught the Sexy Jutsu transformation that Naruto used on Hiruzen. While Naruto gets into an argument with Hiruzen over how he wanted to present himself on the photo of Ninja Registration Form, the Hokage is attacked by a small boy, who is revealed to be his grandson Konohamaru Sarutobi. Transcription: " Konohamaru da kore!" ( Japanese: 木ノ葉丸だ コレ!) Soon after Iruka uses Naruto's ability to use shadow clones to justify his graduation from the Ninja Academy. But a remorseful Iruka protects Naruto while telling the boy they have a lot in common, spurring Naruto to use the Shadow Clone jutsu he learned from the scroll to overwhelm Mizuki. Mizuki explains this to be reason Naruto is hated, adding that Iruka's parents were killed by the Nine Tails. Iruka intercepts Naruto as Mizuki was going to kill the boy and leave the village with the stolen scroll, Mizuki revealing to Naruto that villagers were ordered not to reveal him as a host to a demon fox called the Nine Tails which devastated their village twelve years ago. The following day, being held back from graduating the Ninja Academy after a botched clone jutsu, Naruto is tricked by an academy teacher named Mizuki into stealing a scroll containing the secret ninjutsu from the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi that night. Naruto's teacher Iruka Umino reprimands Naruto for putting graffiti on each face statues, later hearing Naruto's aspirations of becoming Hokage to become respected by the villages. Naruto Uzumaki is a twelve-year-old ninja living in the Hidden Leaf Village under harsh ridicule from the villagers, having defaced a monument dedicated to the four Hokage leaders out of a need for acknowledgement.

The data analysis resulting from an application of these concepts led to the organization wishing to become involved in an organization development (OD) exercise. The key concepts underlying the method were drawn from the psychology of personal constructs and the sociology of defining situations. The most difficult part of this project was the application of new methodologies for eliciting the values, norms, objectives, goals, and views of the environment in order that the model of decision-making could be constructed.

X6 lets you add interactive controls to a web page display of your video so that a viewer using an HTML5-capable web browser can click on linkable overlaid graphics and DVD-like chapters. Still the only major consumer video software with this capability, VideoStudio X5 actually added HTML5 web code creation for your movies. However, the program doesn't tell you how to create one of these (in either UTF or SRT file format), and it doesn't automatically match captions to audio using speech recognition and accept plain text files, the way YouTube's editor does. Maybe even cooler is its ability to ingest a subtitle text file and add the subtitles automatically. The editor shows waveform to help you know where to add the subtitles. You can also manually mark in and out points where the subtitles should appear, or add a time offset for them. VideoStudio X6's new Subtitle Editor can detect where speech occurs in your video, and prompt you to enter subtitle text. You can also output to 4K with this program.Ĭaptions with voice detection. Performance of both preview and program actions slows down considerably, though, when you're editing 4K footage – not surprising, given the very large file sizes. I had no trouble importing 4K sample clips into Corel VideoStudio Pro X6, even in the base version – CyberLink requires the more expensive version of PowerDirector for this capability. Sure, there aren't many video cameras that record at this resolution – the most popular is the GoPro Hero3 Black, the next one up in price is a four grand model from JVC. These unmatched tools let you create really high quality stop-motion movies.ĤK support. In my testing I found it was actually a little difficult to get the desired results with autofocus using this remote control, but manual focus is also available. The really nifty thing added is the ability to actually control a DSLR from within the software, for hands-off-camera stop-motion shooting.Ĭontrols include white balance, image quality/size, exposure settings, and ISO. VideoStudio was the first major consumer video editor to offer a built-in stop-motion tool, and with X6 this gets even better. There's no simple freeze-frame effect, though, but you can have a clip (but not a selected part of a clip) play in reverse.Įven more stop-motion. But note that these speed changes remove the clip's audio. This displays a two panel window in which you mark key frames to indicate where you want speedups or slowdowns. With a clip selected and the Options panel showing, a new choice is Variable Speed. You can even have multiple motion tracks with different overlays following them. What impresses me is that Corel didn't just toss in a rudimentary motion tracking tool in this first introduction of the feature, but rather a sophisticated one with deep customisation. This lets you add not only text or objects that will follow your motion track, but even another video clip! A simple right click choice from the text or object gets you there, and lets you position it relative to the track. So how do you use the track? The easiest way is to apply a mosaic overlay by clicking a button right in the Motion Tracking dialog this is good for those body parts or license plates.įor more sophisticated overlays, look to the Match Motion tool. Once you have a motion track in place, you can fine tune it manually, name it, and save it. There are two tracker types – point and area – the latter gave me better results for following a face. The program then creates a path to which you can apply an overlay that follows your moving object. On first run, a dialog tells you that you have to sign into a Corel Community account to use Corel Guide, the splash screen offering tips and tutorials that appears whenever you start the app. The installation took longer than most programs at a solid 20 minutes. After okaying the license agreement and entering my serial number, I had to select my country and video output format – NTSC or PAL. I tested on a 3.4GHz AMD quad-core Windows 7 Ultimate PC with 4GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4290 graphics adapter – not state of the art, but not too shabby. The regular Pro version includes all the new features, but the Ultimate edition of X6 (£79.98) adds pro-level effects from NewBlue, proDAD, and Boris. You can use VideoStudio on PCs running Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP with the latest service packs installed – sorry, there’s no Mac version. Like any powerful video editor, VideoStudio takes a bit of disk space: The installer program was a 1.3GB download, and the installed application took up 1.5GB on my test system. |
