Ecotone, a literary magazine published by the University of North Carolina Wilmington Disambiguation icon. “This award will allow us to bring vital arts programming to UNC Wilmington, for students who work on the magazine, the campus community, and the public.” Ecotone 's mission is to publish and promote the best place-based work being written today, and to offer students in UNCW's MFA program in creative writing the chance to learn the craft of literary editing. “We’re so thankful for the NEA’s support of Ecotone ,” said Anna Lena Phillips Bell, assistant professor in the UNCW Department of Creative Writing and editor of Ecotone. Ready to stand at indistinct edges or walk vertiginous margins, the aptly named Ecotone is a brave new offering out of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. The series commissions artists to create limited-edition broadsides of poems from the magazine and brings the artist and featured poet to campus for an artist talk and reading. The award will allow for increased payments to the magazine’s contributors and support the Jason Bradford and Shirley Niedermann Broadside Series. The NEA announced $28.8 million in GAP awards as part of its first round of 2023 grants. UNCW’s Ecotone magazine, produced by faculty and MFA students in the Department of Creative Writing, has been approved by the National Endowment for the Arts to receive a Grants for Arts Projects (GAP) award of $10,000. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() So what if the water effects are bad, the damage model is glib, and the scale is nothing at all like actual naval warfare. You get a sense that Eugen wants to take this naval stuff seriously, with long-range Harpoon missiles and offshore shelling and the glorious fart-like braaaaaap sound of defensive guns shooting down incoming ordnance. If you’re an aficionado of the classic Harpoon games and their love of naval hardware, Red Dragon’s diagrams of firing arcs will get your heart racing. And now that Wargame: Red Dragon is out, I can still think of only two games that did a good job of integrating ships into the overall game. In fact, I can think of only two games that did a good job of integrating ships into the overall game: Rise of Nations and Age of Empires III both had a really smart approach to what happens when an RTS goes to sea. Naval combat tends to compromise an RTS, so don’t even think about hosting the game on a water map. Like the aliens in Signs, RTSs rarely survive contact with water. The ships did that standard RTS thing where they swiveled and banged into each other and jostled each other like a mob instead of a fleet, generally making a mess of a finely tuned game. The engine couldn’t quite handle the expanse of sea alongside the intimacy of a land-based tactical RTS. When Eugen added ships with an expansion, things got loosey-goosey all over again. It was one of the many ways Act of War was better than Command & Conquer for tuning Westwood’s trademark loosey-goosey gameplay. Rather than including airplanes on the map, taking off from the airports you build and then flitting a few screens over to bomb something, Eugen modeled airpower as an offmap asset controlled on a separate panel. Their debut RTS, Act of War, was Command & Conquer with a new take on airpower. You just have to play Wargame: Red Dragon.ĭeveloper Eugen has gone this route from land to air to sea before. If Wargame: European Escalation can do such an awesome job adding planes (read the review of Wargame: Airland Battle here), imagine what they can do with ships. ![]() ![]() ![]() Akahoshi later encounters Natsuhi again and confesses to murdering the Third Hoshikage.

When they continue their fight, Akahoshi attacks Natsuhi with his star chakra attack which results in her and Naruto falling off the cliff they were at.

He brings Sumaru back to his building in hopes of luring out Natsuhi. At the time he did this, he encounters Naruto and Neji who attempts to stop him. When he learns about Natsuhi's motives, he disguises himself and captures Sumaru (Natsuhi's son). Concerned about the meteor not getting stolen, he hired leaf ninjas ( Neji Hyūga, Rock Lee, Tenten, and Naruto Uzumaki) to protect the star.Īkahoshi, Shisō and Yotaka after assassinating the Third Hoshikage. When Akahoshi came to power after the Third's death, Akahoshi resumed the star training. They managed to cover up the assassination leading the people in the village to think that the Third died of other causes. One night, Akahoshi and his men Yotaka and Shiso assassinated the Third Hoshikage. Akahoshi disagreed with the Third Hoshikage's decision to end the star chakra over the safety issues involved. When he learned about Natsuhi and Hotarubi and how they were against the star training because of its dangerous effects, the Third Hoshikage ended the star chakra training but banished them. Under the Third Hoshikage's rule, Akahoshi served as a ninja under his rule. Akahoshi also displayed selfishness and brutality by how he went on a rampage when he gained the full power of the star chakra not caring about the safety of his fellow villagers. With his henchmen, Shiso and Yotaka, Akahoshi only cared for them because of how helpful they were to him but did not cared about their safety when he recklessly used the star chakra. Akahoshi did not care about the dangers the star chakra posed to the children of the village and encouraged them to continuously train in hopes of building up a strong military force in the village.Īside from his calm and commanding personality he displayed, Akahoshi revealed his true nature as sadistic individual who laughed after murdering the Third Hoshikage and as a stubborn person who wanted power over the safety and lives of the villagers. In the quest to obtaining more power for the village, Akahoshi murdered the Third Hoshikage because the latter outlawed the practice of using star chakra. His ideology and stubbornness, led Akahoshi to depravity. He was voiced by Mitsuru Miyamoto in the Japanese version, and by Kirk Thornton in the English dubbed version, who also voiced Kisame Hoshigaki and Saïx from the Kingdom Hearts franchise.Īkahoshi was obsessed with obtaining power and followed strictly behind the ideology of individuals dying for the greater cause of the village. He wanted to gain the full power of the Star chakra to one day dominate all Five Great Nations. After the Third's death, Akahoshi manipulated the people in the village into doing the star chakra training despite knowing its danger. He assassinated the Third Hoshikage with the help of his allies, Shiso and Yotaka when the Third discontinued the star chakra training. ~ Akahoshi assassinating the Third Hoshikage in Naruto episode 181.Īkahoshi (in Japanese: アカホシ, Akahoshi) is the main antagonist of the Star Guard Mission Arc.

The Complete Anatomy female model is the most advanced full female anatomy model in the world and marks the first time that a female model has been built with such intricate detail in its entirety, versus replacing specific parts of male models with female anatomy. The Complete Anatomy female model is the world's most advanced full female anatomy model. ![]() We are delighted that Complete Anatomy have developed the full female model and that we have been able to bring this into our teaching of medical students. I was especially mindful of this when writing Gray’s Surface Anatomy and Ultrasound to ensure that we are teaching anatomy that is representative of all patients. ![]() At BSMS we have been working with Elsevier for many years, and more recently we have been increasing the amount of diversity in our teaching. Professor Claire Smith: Hello, I’m Professor Claire Smith, Head of Anatomy at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS). By providing this option, we want to play our part in disrupting the gender bias which exists in clinical practice. Ultimately, we want to provide the opportunity for educators around the world to teach an entire anatomy course using the female model as default, rather than the male, should they choose to. Our goal has always been to use the latest research, not just highlighting where the female differs from the male, as traditionally taught, but to promote equality through choice. ![]() Our vision in developing this advanced 3D full female anatomy model is to create an experience where the male and female anatomy are equally represented. It might surprise you to know that the female anatomy has been historically underrepresented in the study of the human body since the 1500s. I have worked for more than 10 years in the design field, across architectural, graphic, user experience and interface design. Irene Walsh: My name is Irene Walsh and I’m the Director of Product, Design & Content at 3D4Medical from Elsevier, the developer of Complete Anatomy. Please can you introduce yourself, tell us about your background, and what inspired the creation of the innovative 3D full female anatomy model?

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) It’s all very twee and affected in a wearyingly familiar sort of way. In fact, we found the tone and writing of the thing a little bit… what is it the kids say now? Oh, yes – cringe.

There’s a water metre on the right of the screen that empties as you do the same, but it can be refilled (on certain levels) by hovering over a source of moisture (usually water, but you're also able to rain poison, oil and other substances). Moving with the analogue stick, you press and hold 'A' to rain. Mostly, it’s just a little bit boring, in much the same manner as a wet weekend. Our problem is that we found it all came across as rather uninspired in its execution and occasionally downright irritating in its presentation. ![]() Things are complicated by the erratic ( not erotic) reactions of the “hoomans” you happen to rain upon, and their interaction with the physics that can cause objects you need to soak to get kicked off-screen in a panic, or otherwise simply get in the way of your cloudy goals. Each short single-player stage sees you given one or more objectives, usually along the lines of “soak X” or “don’t soak X”. You take control of a rain cloud and, er, rain on stuff. It so desperately needs to be that quirky breakout hit, the virtual talk of the water cooler, the “have you seen that cloud game?” game, spawn of a trillion thinkpieces.

![]() Renderings realistically incorporate textures, lighting, materials, backgrounds and colors to 3D models that enable clients to accurately imagine the final project.īy eliminating issues and iterating on designs early in the design process, renderings ultimately save designers time and money. Starting with a 3D model created in a design tool like SketchUp or Rhino 3D, designers then transform this model into beautiful rendered images and videos that bring their design ideas to life. What are 3D renderings and can they benefit your architectural projects? Architectural renderings are realistic computer generated images that are often created for presenting design ideas. Experience the good side of rendering today! To learn how to create beautiful renderings in FluidRay, we provide a library of training tutorials. Considering that THE small HOUSE CATALOG stock design sales are up 20-25% each month so far in 2020, FluidRay has become an essential part of THE small HOUSE CATALOG!Īre you ready to try rendering for your architectural designs?
