"ĬHRISTIAN BOLTANSKI - Lignes 1992/3 (n° 17) -ĭystopie: Une fois disparu l'homme n'existera qu'au travers de reliques entretenues pieusement par des machines. L’idée importante étant que l’oeuvre a été touchée par l’artiste. Si Maubeuge avait cinq Cézanne, Maubeuge serait une ville vers laquelle il y aurait des pèlerinages, lesquels feraient marcher le commerce, etc. Il se passe la même chose avec la peinture aujourd’hui. Les foules se mettaient alors à venir prier… Une foire s’installait… Le commerce marchait… La ville grandissait. Au Moyen Âge, quand une ville voulait devenir riche, il fallait qu’elle trouve un petit bout d’os de saint et généralement, soit elle le volait, soit elle le fabriquait. Ces musées sont de plus en plus luxueux, de plus en plus pompeux, avec des colonnes en cuivre, de grands halls d’entrée, et l’objet même de la peinture devient tout à fait proche de ce que furent les reliques au Moyen Âge. Tous les jours un nouveau musée d’art contemporain ouvre ses portes, ce qui est absolument grotesque. C’est-à-dire, les nouveaux princes ne construisent plus des églises, mais ils construisent des musées.

U2 the joshua tree live11/12/2022 ![]() I had a guitar part, and Adam and Larry started playing along - and they played against this guitar part in half-time. That's where "Bullet the Blue Sky" came from.Įdge: It's actually a great example of U2 working as a band. ![]() Watching foreign policy work itself out in a small country. It was something that made, as you can imagine, a bit of an impression: Seeing bodies thrown out of cars on the side of the road, terrible stuff that was going on. We witnessed a firebombing in rebel-backed territory, watching people's livelihoods get exploded and feeling the ground shake, even though we were safe enough ourselves. This is during the Cold War, where the US supported wars to push back against what was seen as the communist threat to Central America.īono: And I witnessed some things in Salvador which were really unspeakable. Inkseep: There was a conflict there, and in Nicaragua as well. I went to El Salvador, trying to understand the conflict there. Inskeep: One song that really sticks in my head from hearing it years ago is "Bullet the Blue Sky." What is happening in that song? Is there a real event back behind it somewhere?īono: As well as Live Aid and a trip to Ethiopia, to try to figure out how poverty can exist in a world of plenty. We think America is an idea that belongs to people who need it most. Rather arrogantly, we don't think you own it. If the Declaration of Independence is like the liner notes of America, we're like annoying fans that follow politicians into the bathroom and say, "But it says here, 'We pledge our sacred honor.' What's that about?" And people suffer us talking about America because we love it so much. America's a sort of promised land for Irish people - and then, a sort of potentially broken promised land. There's two Americas: There's the mythic America and the real America. Steve Inskeep: Is it true that this album was going to be called The Two Americas at one point?īono: Yeah, it was. Hear the radio version at the audio link, and read more of their conversation below. "īono and The Edge spoke with NPR's Steve Inskeep, who asked the singer and guitarist to explain the mood The Joshua Tree was made to capture. "I think we all realized that things had almost come full circle - like the environment in which that album was written is more similar to the political environment we are in today than it has been since. The miner's strike was a big issue in Britain, a lot of unrest," The Edge says. "Ronald Reagan was in power, and Maggie Thatcher in Britain. On it, these Irish musicians were writing about the America of the moment: A time of social change at home and the climax of the Cold War abroad.Īll Songs Considered 'The Joshua Tree' Turns 30, U2 To Celebrate With Special Tour ![]() The Joshua Tree appeared in stores in 1987 and sold more than 20 million copies, making it one of the major pop culture events of that decade. The hairstyles of that era of U2 may be dated the music, they feel, is not. "Plus, I don't like the sound of the singer very much, especially the one with the mullet in the 80's." "Usually Edge, when we have a greatest hits collection coming out, has to struggle to get me to listen to it, because it feels dead to me," Bono says. Paul Hewson and David Evans, known to the world as Bono and The Edge, will be the first to tell you their band isn't normally fond of looking back. ![]() The members of U2 are preparing a new tour to play some old songs - 30 years old, to be exact. ![]() Larry Mullen Jr, Adam Clayton, The Edge and Bono will take U2's The Joshua Tree on the road this summer for the album's 30th anniversary. ![]()

Marketing plan pro for mac11/9/2022 ![]() ![]() While the latter is how many companies go about making their products attractive, the former is the method which companies that already have an existing platform on another product type can go on to impact other, sometimes unrelated product fields. ![]() In order to sell to your audience, you have to know what they like, or to convince them that what they like is what you have. That market is McDonald’s consumers.īuilding Around Lifestyle: Marketing In the Twenty First Centuryĭeveloping products that appeal to a particular demographic is one of the major points of marketing. There is a market for people who want a Big Mac on everything. I personally haven’t been to a McDonalds in years now, and am proud of that fact.)īut McDonald’s knows the demographic it’s marketing to, and through that demographic, they will see a lot of profit thanks to their product diversification. The reason why might be a bit unclear to many people, since their thinking is, “Why would anyone WANT a Big Mac on their bedsheets?” You see, as hilarious as this might seem to the average person, you’d be surprised the kinds of returns that McDonald’s will get on these items. If you’ve always wanted your clothing emblazoned with fast food, this is your chance to get officially licensed hamburger clothing. McDonald’s falls into this category with the brand new rollout of their lifestyle products trying to capitalize on the success of a previous marketing trick done to promote their status as official sponsor of the Swedish Alpine and Cross Country Ski Team.Īlthough the thermal underwear was a clever bit of marketing (covered in their signature Big Mac), their new line of products seeks to bring the Big Mac over as a fashion statement, covering everything from wallpaper to bedsheets. For complete details, see terms at /legal/sales-support/applecare/applecareplus/us/mac/.There are some brands that are, doubtless, kings in the marketing world. Purchase of the plan is not required to purchase the covered equipment. The company obligated under AppleCare+ in the United States is AppleCare Service Company, Inc., an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Apple Inc., doing business in Texas as Apple CSC Inc. ![]()

Paytm app apk file11/9/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() It excludes any consumer-to-consumer payment services such as money transfer. GMV is defined as value of total payments made to merchants through transactions on the Paytm app, through Paytm payment instruments or through the company’s payment solutions, over a period. “In keeping with our disclosures in the prospectus, the growth momentum in gross merchandise value (GMV) continued in October 2021, driven by festive season spends as well as an increase in number of merchants & consumers, adoption of new products, transactions for both online & in-store merchants, and in deployed devices,” the company said in its filing. Year-on-year, the increase is more than 700% from the nearly 3.5 lakh loans clocked in the quarter ended September 2020. In terms of number, the company disbursed over 28 lakh loans in the second quarter this year - more than double the 14.3 lakh loans disbursed in the first quarter (see graphic). They dropped 27% to close at the lower circuit, clocking the worst debut by any company with an IPO size of over Rs 1,000 crore. After floating the biggest initial public offering (IPO) of Rs 18,300 crore, shares of the company took a beating immediately on listing. The disclosures come three days after the company listed on November 18 and reflect the pickup in business after the ebbing of the second wave of the pandemic. According to the exchange filing, the number of monthly transacting users in the app rose to 5.7 crore in the quarter ended September, which is an increase of 70 lakh (14%) from 5 crore in the April-June period of this year. MUMBAI: Paytm on Sunday released its business figures for the quarter ended September 2021, where it said that loans have doubled from the preceding three months - both, in terms of value and number. ![]()

Giant bomb mario party 211/9/2022 ![]() ![]() The plan was to get the initial rewritten version out at the Mario Party: Superstars launch but clearly that didn't happen. It's currently being rewritten from the ground-up to include more features to make stat-tracking easier and also to make it as future-proof as possible (which you can imagine is tough in a series as vast and filled with gimmicks as Mario Party). Is this still getting updated frequently? Yes, though it may take a couple days to a week. Will Mario Party: Superstars be supported? Do note that the "Coin Star" counter has to be activated, you can activate it here. To award the Coin Star to someone you can simply click on the character icon. At the top you can change by how much it should increase and whether it should decrease instead.Īlternatively you can also hold Shift and/or Ctrl while clicking on them to increase by a different amount and/or decrease them instead. You can simply click on the counters (the numbers) to increase them. Tracking has to be done completely manually, it cannot connect to the game and track it automatically. Mario Party Overlay (or simply "MPO") is a bonus star tracker for the entire Mario Party series that helps keeping track who holds the bonus star currently. The characters name will be used if no player name is entered.Ĭredits & Contact can be found at the bottom. List all players instead of "everyone" for ties: Save counters permanently (not getting deleted on site reload): Check your connection and reload the site. Only allow one player to get the coin star:Īutomatically save/reload when updating turns:Įnable Drag 'n' Drop: Save Positions Reset Positionsĭrag 'n' Drop couldn't be loaded. "Seperately" should not be used with horizontal layout. This can't be used when ran from a local file or through localhost.Īutomatically deactivate all counters not supported by the current game: This allows the site to be installed which allows it to be run completely offline, uses about 5MB.

Download the payload.zip and extract the payload.elf and copy over to the ‘wiiu’ folder. We need to copy over the Homebrew Launcher Installer payload file to our SD card. Once formatted, create a folder called ‘install’ and one called ‘wiiu’ on the root of your SD card. (Make sure you select the right drive to format!)

Subnautica kyanite11/8/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() Sillimanite forms at a higher temperature and in higher pressure conditions. Kyanite forms at a lower temperature and in a higher pressure environment andalusite forms at a lower temperature and lower pressure conditions. The different crystal structures are owed to geological conditions during formation. All three are aluminum silicates, but kyanite forms as triclinic crystals, while andalusite and sillimanite are both orthorhombic. Kyanite is a polymorph of andalusite and sillimanite. Please refer to our Gemstone Glossary for details of gemology-related terms. Kyanite Gemological Properties:Ĥ to 4.5 (along axes) 6 to 7 (across axes) on the Mohs scale Kyanite is sometimes used as an imitation stone and may be falsely traded as more expensive blue sapphire. Kyanite is typically untreated, though there have been reports of kyanite from certain localities being treated with oil or other synthetic lubricants to enhance luster. Fancier shapes are rarer and may demand higher premiums, such as rounds, hearts and trillions, particularly when cut into calibrated sizes. The most common shapes include ovals and pears as they preserve the most weight. When cutting, proper orientation is essential since kyanite's hardness is directly associated with its cut. Cat's eye kyanite cabochons are also available. Transparent kyanite is typically faceted, whilst translucent materials are most often cut en cabochon. Kyanite looks best in daylight and exhibits a vitreous to near-pearly luster when cut and polished. Kyanite stones of over 2 carats are considered rare. Color zoning is often mistaken for internal inclusions. Almost all kyanite stones will exhibit some visible flaws. Transparent specimens are most desirable. Kyanite can be transparent to translucent. ![]() ![]() Streaks and blotches are common and typically white, but streaks may also form in other colors. Color zoning is common with most stones, which means that they exhibit multiple shades of blue in a single specimen. Color is often inconsistent and unevenly distributed. The most desirable color is sapphire-like blue. The colorless form is the rarest, though not the most valuable form of kyanite. It is less commonly colorless, white, gray, green, yellow or orange. Kyanite most often occurs in various shades of blue. Buying Kyanite and Determining Kyanite Value Nepalese kyanite is said to rival the blue color of fine Ceylon and Madagascar sapphire. Nepal is now widely regarded as one of the finest kyanite sources. Large teal crystals have also recently been found in Kenya's Umba Valley. Orange kyanite was recently discovered in Tanzania. Some of the most important sources include Austria, Burma, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kenya, Myanmar, Nepal, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland, Tanzania, the United States (Connecticut, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia) and Zimbabwe. Kyanite deposits can be found in many locations around the world. As a result of its distinct dual hardness and its frequent habit of color streaking and blotching, kyanite can be very easy to identify from other gems. Many materials exhibit variable hardness on different crystal faces, but kyanite's variable hardness can be seen in the very same crystal. Kyanite can be very easily identified by its dual hardness. Kyanite is a member of the aluminosilicate series and exhibits a distinctive property known as anisotropism. When kyanite is cut parallel to its long axis, its hardness can range from 4 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale, but when cut perpendicularly, its hardness can range from 6 to 7. Anisotropic gemstones exhibit varying properties, depending on their crystallographic direction. Most gems are anisotropic to some extent, but kyanite is the most famous of anisotropic gemstones. Kyanite's most distinctive trait is its strong anisotropic properties. Kyanite forms as triclinic crystals, while andalusite and sillimanite are both orthorhombic. Polymorph gemstones share similar chemical compositions, but they exhibit different crystal structures. Kyanite is a polymorph of both andalusite and sillimanite. In fact, most stones exhibit areas of light to dark color zones, along with white streaks or blotches. With kyanite, color is typically not consistent throughout. However, in addition to blue, kyanite can also be colorless, white, gray, green, orange or yellow. Its name is derived from the Greek word 'kuanos' or 'kyanos', which means 'deep blue', alluding to its typical blue color. Kyanite is a gemstone quality aluminum silicate sometimes referred to as disthene, rhaeticite or cyanite.

Contra nes review11/8/2022 ![]() ![]() Casual players fresh to the world of gaming need not apply here - this game caters to Contra fans and ONLY Contra fans. The insane difficulty level might also be a turn-off for some. Contra 4 is both…and the designers mostly chose the nostalgia "remember when?" route. It's a double-edged sword: for a 20th Anniversary Game it's an appropriate and welcome direction, but as a sequel it misses lots of opportunities. The designers play it safe, never coming up with any cool idea, gadget or gameplay idea that would make it stand on its own…instead safely appeasing the Contra crowd by pointing out elements that made the series cool. And that might be the game's only real problem - it may be a great Contra game, but you just can't help but feel that it's a step backwards. Other than the idea of spanning the action and level design across two screens, the Nintendo DS design stays away from offering any sort of "next generation" ideas - there are exceptions, but ultimately Contra 4 simply references gameplay concepts that have already been attempted in previous Contra games. Boss battles are even multi-tiered and wicked cool in the sense that many of them have been designed the old-school "gigantic sprites" way. But Contra 4 also leaps around the other titles, like the Genesis and Super NES Contra editions, for inspiration, so you'll find yourself trying to stay atop a giant nuclear missile in one level, or zipping on a futuristic craft in another. Most of the game's design sticks with the original Contra as its foundation, so the same "side scrolling level/pseudo 3D hallway level/sidecrolling level" structure of the classic NES and arcade game is how the Nintendo DS title's built. This, my friends, is the ultimate bulletpoint in Old-School game design, like it or lump it, and it's the element that's going to keep you from rushing through to the end in your first night with the cartridge. If you lose all your lives and continues on Level Four, guess what? You're all the way back to Level One. Lose your last life at an end boss? A continue will send you back to the start of that level and make you fight your way through it again. Other than high scores and unlockables, the cartridge doesn't save progress. Pixel+art+for+sprites+and+backgrounds+are+a+cool+throwback+to+the+pre-1996+style. Enemies never stop coming, but at the same time the danger is always in the same place - if you get taken out by a turret or soldier or alien, you can use that knowledge to stay ahead of the game the next time you have to start right back at the beginning of level one. It's one of the hardest games of this generation - the designers throw enemies at the player from all sides, making the player work for the goal at the end of every level. Tons of side-scrolling platforming with even more shooting - the thumb only ever leaves the fire button to press it faster. ![]() The action is classic Contra right from the start. It could easily make you believe that this could've been a worthy continuation of the series on 1990s gaming hardware, even though the action's taking place on a two-screen system that fits in your pocket. Contra 4 clings dearly to nostalgia and the old-school game design, sending the player on a flashback into the world of limited continue challenges and pixelated spritework. Believe it or not, it's an idea that works. It's a ballsy move, trusting that the Contra design has the right stuff to stand up to today's gaming standards. The developers, Way Forward Technology, essentially put themselves in the mindset of simply forgetting everything that was done after Contra III for the Super NES, wiping the slate clean and creating a game that would have followed up the SNES game had the designers been given the Contra 4 project in 1993. That's sort of the mentality in how Konami approached the series for a celebratory 20th anniversary sequel on the Nintendo DS. Each sequel had its ups, downs, pros, and cons, but ask the hardcore fanatics which one's their favorite and chances are they'll harken back to the old-school trilogy: Contra, Super C, or Contra III. Contra games have been produced on systems across the whole spectrum, from the NES classics to the Genesis and Super NES, eventually moving into 3D on the PlayStation and Saturn, and ultimately capping off (currently, anyway) on the PlayStation 2 in Contra: Shattered Soldier and NeoContra. The Contra series, like any great and popular videogame franchise, has been spun-out into sequels almost at a bi-yearly rate since the creation in the arcade two decades ago. ![]() |
