![]() These may then be taken to the game's "Item Shop", run by secret character Mel. This mode is functionally identical to the "1-on-1" and "Arcade" modes however, there is an additional inventory filled with items and money that the player has collected. All players can also gain extra height by jumping off a wall.Īn addition to Power Stone 2 is the "Adventure" mode. Each level is also highly interactive, as players can use many of the stage elements themselves. For example, the submarine level comes with turrets, small planes to drop bombs, and icebergs to throw at opponents. Furthermore, most stages also have their own collection of unique items and fixtures that the player can use. Cards that can be used to mix items can also be found in Adventure mode. Non-damaging items include food that will replenish health, shields for defense, elixirs for invisibility, adhesive sprays to slow your opponents, and wings for extra jumps. Damaging items range from guns, flamethrowers, gigantic hammers, a wide assortment of swords, to bear traps, roller blades, and even a magazine that can be thrown. This, in essence, creates three sub-stages within a single one.Įach stage is also littered with item boxes, which hold a random item that a player has acquired and unlocked in Adventure mode or created in the Item Shop. Shortly after, the players will fall onto a floating platform, where the remainder of the battle will be held. After a set amount of time, the plane will fall apart, forcing all the players to battle while skydiving toward the ground. For example, the airplane stage starts out on a warplane. Most of the stages are dynamic and will change as the battle progresses. Power Stone 2 does not offer an opportunity to block, although tapping on the control pad just before an enemy attacks will cause you to dodge. Though each player has their own set of default ground and air attacks, the character can execute more powerful fusion attacks after collecting three Power Stones and transforming. Three extra stages may be unlocked for Original mode by meeting certain requirements in Arcade mode, as well as a desert area stage, which is essentially the Pharaoh Walker boss stage, but without the boss. All but the Original mode is played out like a storyline, where two battles are fought on the regular stages, followed by the Pharaoh Walker boss, then another battle, and ending with the Dr. Power Stone 2 offers five interactive 3-D stages to begin with, plus the two boss stages which players can also access in Original mode. Adventure: An unpredictable storyline game, where players can collect items, cards and money.Original: Multiplayer mode, with free choice of characters and stages.Arcade: A four-character storyline game, with two characters advancing each round.1-on-1: Much like the original Power Stone, a two-character storyline game.There are four different modes available for the game ![]() Battery-powered heads are a type of flash that can be used on and off the camera. They also create a distinct circular reflection in the pupil of your subject's eyes. Ring lights are popular in portrait photography, macro photography, and vlogging, because they deliver even, diffused light that eliminates hard shadows. Macro and ring lights fit around the camera lens to illuminate objects at short distance. You can use on-flash light modifiers, such as soft boxes and dome diffusers, to diffuse and scatter the light. Regular on-camera flashes often have a rectangular-shaped light that can be directed straight or moved vertically and horizontally. There are various types of camera flashes available. Additionally, external flashes have an internal flash battery instead of running off your camera's battery, allowing you to take more photos. They can also be pointed in many directions, and can even be used to create unique effects. External camera flash accessories outperform internal camera flashes because they're more powerful and thus can be used at greater distances. You can use it to lighten shadows and to brighten your subject without having to decrease the shutter speed or increase the ISO settings. On-camera lights ensure continuous illumination while shooting.Ī flash is a piece of equipment that produces a beam of light for a very short period of time when you release the camera shutter. ![]() Flashes have the ability to illuminate objects, create special effects, and set a certain mood.

"Here you have a flower that can send a flash of light at a bee." "Suppose you have a meadow full of different flowers, and each one wants to be pollinated by a bee, a bee has a lot of choices, so each one of the flowers tries to stand out in their own way," Steiner said. Steiner and his colleagues, including plant biologist Beverly Glover of the University of Cambridge, suspect that the buttercup's ability to manipulate light this way comes in handy out in the meadow. But because the reflected light must travel through the pigment twice (once on the way in, once on the way out), it gives rise to the strong yellow color, Steiner said. This layer reflects the arriving wavelengths of light back equally, much like white paper would. The light that does make it through both of the surfaces of the epidermis and the air-filled gap finally arrives at a layer of starch. The other wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes and are perceived as the color yellow. The epidermis also contains pigment that absorbs the wavelengths of light associated with the blue part of the visible light spectrum. These surfaces give the flower its glossy appearance. This means that the angle at which the light travels to the surface equals the angle at which it travels out, so all of the reflected light travels in the same direction. Both surfaces are flat - the lower one borders an air gap - and each reflects light back much like a mirror would. It turns out that light arriving at the flower petal encounters two different surfaces within its outer layer, called the epidermis. Their examination revealed how the anatomy of the petal creates the yellow glow - which, according to children's lore, indicates the chin's owner likes butter. Now researchers understand why the flowers produce this yellow glow. According to children's lore, the yellow glow reflected by a buttercup when placed under a chin indicates that the owner of the chin likes butter. ![]() Overall, I had a blast and really enjoyed seeing my racing family again! I really would not be here without the support of my sponsors, their efforts are continually appreciated and never taken for granted. CRAP! The bike is ok other than a broken rear set, and I am fine though, so chalk it up to a learning experience and move on to Round 2! Coming into the bus stop on lap 3, I misjudge my angle of attack and clip the inside curb, instantly going down. ![]() His bike seems like it pulls 10 bike lengths down the front straight and I am having to make it all up in the corners and on the brakes. Dustin must have been cold, because then he lit his bike on fire, and the race had to be red flagged! On the restart, I slot into 4 th place behind Oli determined to not let him beat me. Off the first start, things get a little crazy, and Dustin ends up going down in the bus stop on the opening lap. Time for the big show! Ryan Sutton is also out in this race, so now we have a 5 way battle up front. I try to also pass Oli, but that Zlock Built superbike is fast! I try to go around the outside in a couple corners, but end up crossing the line in 4 th place not far behind, still a solid performance. By Turn 3 all four of us are up front fighting it out and the battle is on! Adam manages to get past Oliver and then past Dustin, going on to set the fastest lap of the race. Time for the second race of the day, 600SBK! Oliver Jervis is bringing his Zlock Built Kawasaki ZX6-R Superbike out to play in this race so I knew it would be fun! Adam, Oliver, and I all start in the back row again with Dustin starting on the front row. I should mention that this entire race I was trying to push the Pirelli rear to slide, and I could not get it to slide. 0.3 seconds covered all three of us at the finish! I also set a new PB with a best lap of a 1:25.9 and an average pace over the entire race of 1:26.4! So awesome. We all get a good drive out of the bus stop and it is a drag race to the finish! Dustin crosses first, followed by Adam, and me in 3 rd place. It takes me a couple more laps to try and catch Dustin, and as soon as I do, Adam passes me going up the hill in T8. He tries for a pass in the bus stop, but I box him out, killing both of our drives. Going up the hill Adam shows me a wheel and pulls up on the inside going through T9. Then I make a mistake going into T5, unsettling the bike. I can hear Robarts behind me every now and then, but for the first four laps, he stays quiet. Going into T2 I make an outside pass and slot into T2 but Dustin is already 10 bike lengths ahead and charging! I settle down and work to pull him back in, focused on hitting my marks and keeping a tight line. Dustin faired better, with a front row start, but it wasn’t going to matter! The board goes up, the light goes out, and I get a decent start. Anyone of these guys could potentially win on any given day! Due to registration difficulties, I am gridded on the back row, along with Adam. Adam Robarts decided to come back to the 600 class this year, as well as Jeremy Coffey, Oliver Jervis, Ryan Sutton, and Dustin Walbon. ![]() ![]() The first race of the year and I am not going to lie, was having to calm myself, the heart was definitely racing! I was ready for a fight though, and I needed to be. I managed to put in a couple of clean laps and was happy to see that I was right back at my race pace from last year! The bike felt good, I felt good, time to race! Took it easy and went out in Formula Ultra qualifying. The practice was wet in the morning on Saturday for the first session. Really looking forward to helping him out! This is his first season of road racing, but James comes from a motocross background, so he is no stranger to a motorcycle. This year, in addition to working on my own skill set, I also have the pleasure of mentoring a new novice, Mr James Mellinger, #934. Triumph of Seattle has also stepped up in a big way again this year to support my efforts, thank you Garrett and crew! The weather forecast for the weekend looked exceptionally promising and I was excited to finally get back on a bike after 6 months off! I was also looking forward to testing out the new pavement that had just been laid down one month prior. This past weekend the Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association hosted their inaugural round of the 2019 season at Pacific Raceways. FINALLY!!! No more waiting, no more doubting, no more time to procrastinate. Finally, the long dreary Pacific Northwest winter is over. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even more shocking was the frank honesty of the courtesan: her boldness-not nudity-offended. To many, Manet's "color patches" appeared unfinished. Viewers were not used to flat space and shallow volumes in painting. Critics advised pregnant women to avoid the picture, and it was re-hung to thwart vandals. Several artists had already begun to challenge the stale conventions of the Academy when Manet's Olympia (today in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay, Paris) was accepted for the Salon in 1865. He drew on the old masters for structure, often incorporating their motifs, but giving them a modern cast. Manet began to develop a freer manner, creating form not through a gradual blending of tones, but with discrete areas of color side by side. He was particularly impressed by the seventeenth-century Spanish artist Diego Velázquez, contrasting his vivid brushwork with the "stews and gravies" of academic style. More than in his teacher's studio, Manet learned to paint in the Louvre by studying old masters. Contemporary urban subjects and a bold style, which offered paint on the canvas as something to be admired in itself, gave their art a strong, new sense of the present. Renovations had opened the wide avenues and parks we know today, and painting was transformed when artists abandoned the transparent glazes and blended brushstrokes of the past and turned their attention to new techniques and to life around them. Within twenty-five years, however, both Paris and painting had new looks. Young artists could expect to succeed only through the official Academy exhibitions known as Salons, whose conservative juries favored biblical and mythological themes and a polished technique.
