![]() ![]() The news came out of Foot Locker’s investor day, which new CEO Mary Dillon used to outline her long-term strategy for the company. The other half, however, are aimed at culling out underperforming locations in A and B malls. All of the locations are located in malls, including 200 that are in C and D malls. That’s how many stores Foot Locker plans to close by 2026. “Because maybe I just have no sense of humor but what’s the parody?” Justice Elena Kagan asked. Jack Daniel’s believes this infringes on its trademark, and court justices Wednesday began to examine the case by looking at factors including whether or not consumers could be confused by who the manufacturer is and if the product is truly a parody. The toy – which is labeled “Bad Spaniels” on it with the image of a dog – is made by VIP Products LLC, a company that sells a variety of what it calls “parody” animal toys. Supreme Court on Wednesday began to discuss a trademark infringement case that whiskey brand Jack Daniel’s filed against the creator of a dog toy that looks like a bottle of alcohol. ![]() In a hearing that had quite a bit of laughter, the U.S. They’ll also get to network with alumni from previous cohorts and be able to connect with Glossier’s partners like Shopify and Google. ![]() The owners of the businesses will be paired with a Glossier adviser as a one-on-one mentor.

The effects of drug load and operational variables on formulations derived from these four lactose types were evaluated for physicochemical and mechanical attributes of plugs and their capsules on an instrumented dosing-disc capsule filling machine (H&H KFM/3) using acetaminophen as a model, highly soluble and poorly compressible drug. Based upon the previous study, four grades were selected for further study. This study is the second in a series that examines the characterizing and selection of suitable grades of lactose for capsule formulation development. The PCA plot grouped together 110 M, AL, DCL11 and DCL15 on the one side of plot which possessed superior properties for capsule formulation and these grades were selected for future formulation development studies (part II of this work). The first and second principal components (PC) captured 47.6% and 27.4% of variation in the physical and mechanical property data, respectively. Plug mechanical strength was estimated from its diametric crushing strength. The lactose grades were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), moisture sorption/desorption isotherms, particle size distribution the flow was characterized by Carr Index (CI), critical orifice diameter (COD) and angle of friction. In this study, different lactose grades were characterized by thermal, solid state, physical and mechanical properties and later evaluated using principal component analysis (PCA) to assess the inter-relationships among some of these properties. ![]() Eight grades of commercially available lactose were evaluated: Pharmatose 110 M, 125 M, 150 M, 200 M, 350 M (α-lactose monohydrate), AL (anhydrous lactose containing ∼80% β-AL), DCL11 (spray dried α-lactose monohydrate containing ∼15% amorphous lactose) and DCL15 (granulated α-lactose monohydrate containing ∼12% β-AL). Abstract The purpose of this work is to characterize thermal, physical and mechanical properties of different grades of lactose and better understand the relationships between these properties and capsule filling performance. ![]() ![]() ![]() The author needs to remember that the separator lines will claim an index for each of themselves.

Isabelle is now under a 30-day quarantine, per the Delaware County General Health District rules, to ensure she does not show signs of illness. The news comes a day after the zoo named Tom Schmid its next president and CEO. The zoo says this is Isabelle’s first incident and “she shares a close bond with her care team.” She also participates in the cheetah run as one of the fastest runners. After a year marred by scandals, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium has lost accreditation with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) for the first time in 41 years. The zoo team members immediately contacted authorities who provided on-site treatment and then transported the keeper to the hospital for further evaluation. The keeper works around giraffes and other hoofstock and the zoo believes the scent of these other animals on the keeper caused Isabelle to attack. Isabelle’s care team says she was harnessed, and was “calm and purring” so they “invited the keeper to approach closer.” But when the keeper came nearer, Isabelle “crouched down and lunged” toward the keeper.

Open the world map and you see thousands of NPC markers moving around, all having the time of their life. Everyone is having fun, riding their routes or even goofing off and crash somewhere. The open-world is huge but instead of it being empty, you’ll see dozens of NPC riders loading in and out of your view. Steep can be a lonely game, and it feels like the devs have taken the feedback to bring more of the zany and lively vibes that should be more appealing. That said, skis and snowboards still feature in the game, but not the main selling point this time around. You will get the rocket wings and a snowmobile early one that will let you roam around the world without the constraints of needing the force of gravity. Unlike Steep, you do get more tools to explore the world freely. The open-world this time is an amalgamation of the various national parks in the USA- from canyons to snowy mountains, you got a whole world to explore- enough to hide 500 collectibles, urgh. Along the way, you’ll be guided by the legendary and retired extreme sports person Brett, who, sometimes is a perfect dude that give clear instructions to the tutorials, and other times, extremely cringe-y that I wish he would shut up and never appear again.

Now after spending the first four hours during the trial week ahead of the game’s launch tomorrow, I feel that Riders Republic have something big to offer. I’ve given the game a fair shake, I tried the beta, as well as the one-day trial for PC players. Riders Republic puts a focus on the new bikes as well as racing said bikes, but it’s still a Ubisoft salad of various gameplay styles, checkbox-ticking objectives and maybe a bit too tryhard to present itself cool to the kids. Steep might have gotten lost and buried but Ubisoft Annecy is taking another crack at making an open-world extreme sports game with this spiritual successor, Riders Republic. Ubisoft isn’t giving up on extreme sports yet. ![]() ![]() ![]() Your beans will take an hour or two, or possibly a little longer - they should be holding together but buttery-soft inside.
![]() ![]() “The only reason I took it out of the sale yesterday is to satisfy these crazies,” he said, adding that he wasn’t even sure of the skull’s authenticity.Ĭavalier-Keck said she only found out about the auction because a friend who’s an archaeologist in Mebane, Danny Gregory, alerted her. However, in a comment to The News & Observer, gallery owner Jon Lambert claimed protesters were “trying to get attention.” The Mebane Antique Auction Gallery did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment Wednesday. “That is a very sacred item and no one should be touching it and definitely not wearing it.” “I just cannot imagine someone having that spiritual item in their house or then even trying to …wear it,” Cavalier-Keck said. Sometimes, during the celebrations, the person wearing the attire would faint and die, and the regalia would usually be buried with the person or passed to other family members.) (Cavalier-Keck’s husband, Jason Keck of Creole Choctaw Louisiana descent, told The Daily Beast that the regalia was worn in spiritual celebrations during a time when many Native Americans in the West were forced into assimilation. ![]() Though Cavalier-Keck’s mission was to stop the sale of the skull, she ended up winning the bid-$220-on Lakota Nation Ghost Dance regalia to prevent it from being culturally appropriated. Cavalier-Keck said there was artwork of an enslaved man, a Jim Crow-caricature figurine of a Black woman, Indigenous children’s moccasins, and alleged photos of Native American code-talkers. The skull was not the only controversial item up for sale. “The original owner, to my understanding, wants to do what’s right with the remains and give them to the tribe it belongs to,” she said. Cavalier-Keck told The Daily Beast the owner contacted the auction house because they were trying to downsize their estate, but they were open to returning the skull to its original owners after learning activists were at the sale. She said she spoke to a representative for Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act to assist on what to do with the skull and how to get it back to its proper owners.Īccording to The News & Observer, the owner of the skull, who now lives in North Carolina, purchased it in Canada during the 1960s. And so we wanted the remains to be covered to just show respect and dignity… Even though this is another nation, this is our relatives,” Cavalier-Keck said of Indigenous Canadians. In an interview with The Daily Beast, Cavalier-Keck said the item, which was sitting in a glass case without any cover to shield it from the public, was promptly removed and given to her so she could return it to tribal members in Canada, where the skull possibly originated. Then, in the midst of the auctioneer shooting off other bids, the owner of the auction house suddenly announced to the room that the skull was no longer for sale, The News & Observer reported. This content is not available due to your privacy preferences. The attorney for a local tribe also contacted the auction house urging them to stop the sale. The North Carolina Office of State Archaeology was contacted with concerns days beforehand, The News & Observer reported, and Indigenous tribes and advocacy groups piled into the gallery on the day of the auction. Protests rained down on the auction house before the event even began. Like, would you want somebody selling your ancestors’ bones?” she said in a video during an early morning drive to the auction house. “I just don’t know where the humanity of this person is that owns this business to be selling bones of people. On Saturday, Cavalier-Keck uploaded more videos detailing her urgent mission to stop the sale of the skull. (Some experts disputed that interpretation of the laws.) She said she wasn’t sure of the exact origins of the skull, but said it appeared to be that of a little girl and was part of an estate sale.Ī spokesperson for the local sheriff’s office in Orange County told The News & Observer that they looked into the matter before Saturday after being contacted by state officials who had got wind of the sale, but they determined that the skull was too old to have violated recent laws barring the extraction, sale, or purchase of Native American remains. “I think it’s disgusting that this owner of this art auction house is selling off bones of a Native American person,” Cavalier-Keck continued. ![]() ![]() ![]() MST: The blog posts bad custom cards and adds commentary that pokes fun at them.He's featured in the logo and in the background. Mascot: Foegod, a creature with a silly name and ridiculous abilities, was the first card featured on the blog and became its mascot.Luck-Based Mission: Taken to extremes with The Luck of Death, which turns games of Magic into literal coin flips.He can also heal you, but this ability is even worse than the damage-dealing ones. His +1 deals 2 damage to an opponent, which is underwhelming, and even if you get to use his ultimate (which under normal conditions requires you to wait three turns and hope you survive and Doctor Doom doesn't take damage or get removed), your payoff is an underwhelming 8 damage to one opponent. For that cost you'd expect some impressive abilities, but all he can really do is deal damage. To cement her as useless, this is her only ability, and her stats are terrible for her cost. Unfortunately, she has three blue mana in her casting cost, so if you really need that ability, you can't cast her in the first place. Vorgyn of the Blue Moon 's ability makes blue cards less mana intensive.Joke Character: While most of the power level issues come from overpowered cards, a few of the featured creatures are unintentional joke creatures.note The blog claims that there are only two blue creatures with haste, which doesn't take into account that there are a few blue/red creatures with haste, and "blue creatures" does not exclude multicolored creatures whose colors include blue. Blue Haste Shield hoses blue creatures with haste, of which there are only a small handful.This card has an ability that flat-out makes your opponents lose the game if they happen to control the specific creature Mesmeric Fiend.This card suggests that universes are about as powerful as some random bears.(The card is still broken, though, as it's a 0-mana artifact that can tap for any two colors with no drawback.) In gameplay, it can only tap for two mana. Mox Sun is flavored as the "most infinite source of mana in the whole Multiverse".A few posts mock cards that clearly portray winged creatues, but lack the flying keyword.Typical examples include lands that produce a lot of mana with negligible or non-existent drawbacks, cards that give you powerful effects for cheap (or free), and cards that just let you win instantly. The blog frequently calls out cards that would break Magic if they were official cards. For whatever reason, Imminent Death exiles everyone's hand twice.The creature is a Wizard Dragon, so the conditions only matter if the creature somehow loses a creature type or two without also losing its original abilities. Spawn of Darkness has vigilance as long as you control a Wizard, and trample as long as you control a Dragon. ![]() both flying and reach, both first strike and double strike, both shroud and hexproof, evasion on a creature that's always unblockable anyway, or just giving the creature the same ability multiple times. A common mistake on the featured cards is redundant abilities, e.g.Nord Warchief has both "can't be blocked" and "cannot be blocked" in its textbox.For instance, a card with one Game-Breaker invoked ability and one kind of pathetic ability may get commentary like "they need to Nerf ". Comically Missing the Point: The commentary will sometimes miss the point on purpose.Author Avatar: The blog has poked fun at some bad self-insert cards.Someone else made a similar Yu-Gi-Oh! blog named Why Yugico Card Creator?, which has since been deleted.

The AgesĪ verdant world set inside a large bone-like pillar lost in the middle of the sea. The extra reward for solving each age is a really cool theme park ride, much like the transitions between islands in Riven. Each age has its own type of puzzle and finishing them will give you a symbol needed to access the final area. Exile is structured much like the first Myst, since you have to solve an easier riddle to gain access to another age where you’ll have to face harder brainteasers in a similar vein. J’nanin is a rocky beach and acts as a hub that leads to the three other main ages of the game. You start in J’nanin, a training age built by Atrus to show his unruly sons the Art of writing. This can get really aggravating when trying to quickly move between important areas. ![]() ![]() Maybe it is a concession related to creating 360° stills? Another problem with spherical images is that there is a slight delay when moving from one spot to the other. This is despite the fact that Exile relies on better hardware and uses up more space. While the ability to look in any direction is nice and the game is certainly more colorful, the images seem to have been compressed and look a bit blurry compared to Riven’s crisp, almost photorealistic, stills. The graphics are neither a step up nor a step down from Riven. These may seem like small details, but a few minutes after the game has begun, you can already see that some notes are off-key. A little bit later, in the first moments of the game, Catherine and her baby Yeesha get stuck in a weird three second loop where she throws her baby in the air again and again, while you can hear distressing gurgles coming from the baby. Jack Wall (who later worked on Jade Empire and Mass Effect 2) was put in charge of Exile’s soundtrack and, while he is extremely competent, his style is a big contrast compared to the other games, despite visibly (audibly?) having tried to stick to similar themes. Furthermore, the video ends in a dramatic crescendo of chanting voices that, while well executed, doesn’t fit the mood of Atrus’s monologue at all. This is strange since there were already photographs in Riven. Those drawings look awkward and very out of place, especially inside a fullscreen video next to a flesh-and-blood human being. First, while the opening FMV is a very high quality shot of Atrus writing at his desk and brooding about the past, what he is actually looking at while pondering are drawings of his family. Playing nut jobs seems to be his thing, since that’s pretty much how he acts here.Īs soon as Exile begins… a few things seem out of place. The role of Saavedro is played by Brad Dourif, who was nominated for an Oscar in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Sadly, the part of Catherine is played by someone new this time. You once again play as the nameless character from the first two games and it’s up to you to get the book back. To get his revenge, Saavedro steals the book of Releeshan, an age meant to be a new peaceful home for the remnants of the D’ni race. Myst III tells the story of Saavedro, a native of one of Atrus’ ages that was wronged by Atrus’ two sons. In other words, instead of navigating from photo to photo, you’re moving from sphere to sphere. The game still doesn’t allow free movement, but Myst III does allow you to look around in 360° in each spot, much like the third game from Presto’s own series. On the other hand, the fans were clamoring for a sequel, so the job was given to Presto Studios, who were not exactly new to the adventure genre since they had already created The Journeyman Project franchise. After finishing Riven, Cyan was too busy chasing the wild dream that was going to be Uru to have time to make the next numbered installment in the Myst franchise. ![]() |
