Saturday was a bloodbath: a 320-person last chance qualifier to fill the final space among the biffing champs that would fight the following day. The grand finals took place in Amsterdam, the last stop of the nine-month long Tekken World Tour. And by the time she landed the killer blow, she was all out of bamboo. She was here to chew bamboo and prove the doubters wrong. So, imagine an entire hall filled with skeptical faces looking at this animal. Tekken veteran ‘Qudans’ was also 3rd in the standings going into the contest, while ‘Rangchu’ was 13th, making him and his animal friend the definite underdogs. Whereas Devil Jin is seen as a top tier fighter worthy of many chef kisses. For the Tekken illiterate out there, Panda is generally seen as one of the weakest characters, since she is big and bulky enough to get hit in instances where normal-sized characters won’t. Eventually, ‘Rangchu’ faced off against Byung-moon Son, better known as 'Qudans', last year’s champion and fierce Devil Jin puppeteer. I say “panda”, I mean professional fighterman Hyeon-ho Jeong of South Korea, aka 'Rangchu', who mauled his way through the top 20 Tekken 7 players in the world using the black-eyed animal as a fighty pal. All rules found in the official Tekken World Tour ruleset will also be in effect.A panda won the Tekken World Tour grand finals this weekend, rampaging through its opponents with all the anti-human rage you might expect of an endangered species.If player decides to switch characters, the stage selection must be random.

Note: If you don't have space, talk to the cabin boy, and he will give you a lens and lantern.Swamp tar can be retrieved from the barrel in the lowest deck of the ship, north of the ladder.If using on a Bullseye lantern (empty), you must fill it with oil using the still inside the Chemist's House in Rimmington and a swamp tar. If using the lens on a Bullseye lantern (finished), you will swap out the emerald lens with the existing one and can light it immediately.Use a tinderbox on the lantern to light it. You should now have an emerald lantern lens and lantern use them with each other to get an emerald lantern.Do not go to Rimmington simply, skip this final step. The swamp tar and oil step isn't required at all if you already had a functional lantern and simply swapped the lens. Note: If you already have a functional bullseye lantern, you can simply swap the lenses and skip the next step.Talk to the cabin boy, who will now confess to placing the jinx.Talk to First mate 'Davey-boy' (same deck as the captain).Talk to 'Lecherous' Lee next to the cabin boy.Talk to 'Beefy' Burns on the lowest most deck - you have to go down one level from the deck then, go north and climb down a ladder into the lowest deck - go south to the galley (kitchen) area to find him.Talk to the cabin boy up one deck from the captain (south).Talk to 'Eagle-eye' Shultz (on the same deck as the captain, northern end of the ship after going through a northern room).

Bullseye lantern, which you can extinguish-use the emerald lens on it to get an emerald lantern, then light again saving a trip to Rimmington.Runes for the final boss fight as Lunar equipment must be worn.
And even when the character in the book explained this reference, I am still not 100% sure I understand it in the context of the book - maybe that memories are not what they seem? That reality is not what we remember? I wasn’t too impressed either with the cover image itself. This reference is so obscure, that until the author made reference to it in the last 25% of the book, I had no idea. The title is actually an obscure reference to the fact that in the movie Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow at some point in the film has a pistol, but that nobody seems to remember this fact. I was under this impression due to the title “Scarecrow Has a Gun.” I was not correct in the slightest. My first impression, having not read the synopsis of the book, was that the book was a mystery / thriller starring a detective. I gave this book 4 stars, as my overall impression of the book was positive. I received this book from Netgalley as an ARC Audiobook. " -Tex Gresham, author of Sunflower, Heck, Texas, and This Is Strange June It’s a gut-punch meditation on the way our brains process mediation, memory, trauma, and grief. "With writing that’s both sharp and dense, Michael Paul Kozlowsky’s Scarecrow Has A Gun is a labyrinthine mystery that feels as if David Cronenberg and Don DeLillo had collaborated on a Philip K. “Michael Paul Kozlowsky’s brutally eccentric Scarecrow Has a Gun is a masterclass in Cartesian storytelling-simultaneously evoking Christopher Nolan’s clockwork precision and JG Ballard’s ultra-modern sense of irony, Kozlowsky has bestowed upon our cultural landscape a Rashomon for our Post-Truth, Mandela Effect-ed times.” -Jeff Chon, author of Hashtag Good Guy With a Gun Scarecrow Has a Gun is positively Neapolitan!” -Nick Mamatas, author of The Second Shooter “An intriguing, existential mystery, an exploration of an unhappy marriage, and a paranoid science fiction thriller. Ballard and Paolo Coelho chained together in a basement while a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, Scarecrow Has a Gun is at once disquieting and illuminating, eerie and sincere.” -Martin Seay, award-winning author of The Mirror Thief Suffused with an atmosphere that suggests J.G. Michael Paul Kozlowsky is admirably wary of these enticements, and has put that uneasiness at the heart of this book. A host of technologies exists to reassure us otherwise-novels, to be fair, among them-and each, like an invited demon, ultimately behaves according to its own proclivities. Dorothy goes to the big, almost industrial-looking Emerald City with her sidekicks, innocently kicks the heinies of oppressive witches, and exposes a crooked ruler in Oz.“The coherent self is a fiction: a fairytale we tell ourselves about ourselves. Superman, like Dorothy, was an orphan raised by Kansas farmers, and in his earliest incarnation he travels to "the big city" and battles Depression-era slumlords and crooked mine owners. The superhero comparison dovetails with Depression-era themes seen in the film. Similarly, the farmhands Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke ( none of whom appear in the source material) become the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. For instance, the despicable Miss Gulch (who only exists in the film) essentially transforms into the Wicked Witch of the West while another silver-screen insertion, the sketchy Professor Marvel, becomes the fraudulent wizard Oz. Superman and Batman, both do-gooders with secret identities, gained pop cultural prominence in the 1930s, which is reflected in The Wizard of Oz through the addition of implied alter egos. Time notes the similarity of the characters to superheroes.

Rossington also survived the crash and today is the band’s sole living original member still performing. Collins survived the crash with serious injuries. On October 20, 1977, as the band was flying between shows in South Carolina and Louisiana, the charter plane ran out of fuel and crashed in a Mississippi forest, killing six passengers, including Van Zant. Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1977, shortly before the plane crash that killed six passengers, including Ronnie Van Zant. “Bye bye, baby, it’s been a sweet love,” doesn’t mean a final goodbye to me. Rickey Medlocke: The way Ronnie wrote lyrics, you got out of it the meaning in your own way. It wasn’t so heavy or nothing to us at first. We were playing everywhere we could play. This time Ronnie said, “Play that again.” Allen played the chords, then I’d play them, and Ronnie just sat there and wrote the lyrics, a love song. He’d lie there and hear mistakes and say, “Let’s fix that.” When one of us would get a good idea going, he’d say, “Play it, play.”Īllen had these chords, and he’d play them over and over, but at first Ronnie thought there were too many chord changes to write lyrics to. Ronnie used to always lie on the couch after two or three hours of rehearsing. Food trucks, sodas, and beer from Towery House Farm Brewery will be available for purchase.Gary Rossington: One rehearsal day, Allen started playing the chords to “Free Bird” at the house where we used to hang out after school and after we quit school. Lawn seating - please bring a blanket of lawn chair. The Warehouse is just steps away from the outdoor stage, the rain venue will be announced day of if needed. We have a unique venue with an outdoor stage, but if the weather is bad we have a great historic warehouse that the event can be moved to. Get ready for a full helping of Southern Fried Rock N Roll by the best Skynyrd tribute band around - Fly High FreeBird Nation! Russell Ingram on drums and Jeff Brashears on bass nail down the groove and power of Artimus Pyle and Leon Wilkeson rhythm section, while keyboardist Joey Huffman (formerly with Lynyrd Skynyrd and more) gracefully adds in Billy Powell's keyboards for a full and amazing rendition of one of the greatest bands that ever recorded and toured.įreeBird brings all the magic of the music to life in a way seldom heard by any tribute act. Guitarists Matt Chenoweth (Ed King/Steve Gains), John Hopkins (Allen Collins) and Jeff Langston (Gary Rossington) play their roles with such explosive energy and skill you'd think you were at a show in the 1970s. Vocalist Chris Howard masterfully catches the essence of Ronnie Van Zant’s vocals and stage persona, guiding the band and players through solos, song after song. If you saw the original line up in the 1970s you will appreciate the accuracy, if you're just discovering the music for the first time, you'll be blown away by hit after hit of incredible music and amazing players.

Tekken is a 3D fighting game first released in 1994, with Tekken 7 being the latest instalment. R/Tekken is a community-run subreddit for Bandai Namco Entertainment's Tekken franchise. "Every 10 minutes, I'm recording who is here, and with this data we can build social networks, so basically we can find out who the cockies hang out with, who their friends are, who their social circles are," she said. So how, and why, did those individuals learn it?īy putting painted markers on a flock of cockies, Dr Klump takes detailed observations of their interactions with each other. Proving how behaviours like the bubbler drinking or bin opening spreads is part of the focus of Dr Klump's research.ĭr Klump said it became immediately obvious that not all cockies can open bins - it's a skill that a select few in the population actually have. "They can twist the handle by landing on it and using their body weight, and then drink from the water bubbler." Who's a clever bird? "In a couple of sites we've seen them almost entirely abandon drinking from rivers and lakes to move to drinking from water bubblers," she said. There's a nice example of this in Western Sydney. "Bin opening is just one example of the sorts of innovations that could spread in cockatoo society and help them adapt to urban environments," Dr Aplin said. Similarly, in the Sydney CBD they hollowed out a styrofoam building facade so much they could clomp around inside it and take shelter from inclement weather. Apparently once they figured out how delicious the foam felt beneath their sharp beaks, the whole area was raining styrofoam bits like snow. They also picked apart a new apartment building in the inner suburb of Rozelle in 2006, after the builders used rendered styrofoam for the building decorations. Have you caught cockatoos raiding your rubbish? Take the Clever Cockie bin-opening survey. The cockies' rooftop antics caused rain to leak into the herbarium vault where millions of dollars' worth of botanical specimens were kept. In 1988, the "sulphur-crested gang" caused some $50,000 worth of damage to the roof of the National Herbarium of New South Wales in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens. In some areas cockies will land on your hand or shoulders, John says. "It's annoying if it's your bins, but it's also an amazing example of behavioural adaptation."Īnd while bin cockies might be a relatively new phenomenon, it's clear that cockies have had a big impact on Australian cultural life for a very long time. Sulphur-crested cockatoos, like most parrot species, have demonstrated high levels of intelligence, which is most obvious in the ways they’ve adapted to live with humans. I turned the banter frequency to high and didn’t mind when lines would repeat since it was something to keep me company while I was out exploring. 2 qualifiers: 1.)

Provide flexible provisioning models, including support for Spot VMs, which offer up to 91% savings versus regular compute instances, and custom machine types. Bring your scripts or containerized workload. Support common job types including arrays of jobs and multi-node MPI jobs utilizing task parallelization. In collaboration with NVIDIA, Batch supports the use of NVIDIA GPUs when running demanding batch workloads such as ML training, HPC, and graphics simulation. Batch supports all CPU machine families including the newly released T2A Arm instances Batch supports throughput-oriented, HPC, AI/ML, and data processing jobs. Here are just a few examples of what Batch can do: In short, Batch allows developers, admins, scientists, researchers, and anyone else interested in batch computing to focus on their applications and results, handling everything in between. You can access the service through the API, the gcloud command line tool, workflow engines, or via the easy to use UI in Cloud Console. It manages the job queue, provisions and autoscales resources, runs jobs, executes subtasks, and deals with common errors - all automatically. The Batch service handles several essential tasks. These services include Cloud Life Sciences (formerly Google Genomics), Dataflow, and Cloud Run Jobs. Batch is a general-purpose batch job service and the latest in a long list of products we’ve created over the years that process jobs to help enterprises migrate their workloads to the cloud. Batch jobs are especially prevalent in areas such as research, simulation, genomics, visual effects, fintech, manufacturing and EDA.Īs enterprise customers turn to cloud to meet the need for more compute resources or to easily access the latest processors or GPUs, they bring their batch workloads with them. Enterprise workloads very often include some batch processing elements. Batch uses resources very efficiently and remains the preferred way of running jobs that don’t need much human interaction. Import .Today, we’re excited to announce the Preview release of our fully managed service, Batch, which provides easy access to Google Cloud’s computing power and scale.īatch processing is as old as computing itself, with the term 'batch' dating back to the punchcards used by early mainframes. Import .config.AutowireCapableBeanFactory You can use this SpringBeanJobFactory to automatically autowire quartz objects using spring: import There is a pretty useful DZone article about using rabbitmq via spring-integration (a set of prebuilt pattern implementations that help with connecting things to each other). You can assign one or more threads to the listener, meaning that you should find it easy to tune the performance of the report generator. You'd have a custom listener on the queue, passing requests to a report generator whenever it runs. With the jms architecture you'd post user requests to the queue, which you'd configured to be persistent. For a messaging service I'd look at RabbitMQ, because again it's pretty simple. If you want to make it easy on yourself I'd recommend using spring-jms as a wrapper around the basic Java EE JMS api - the spring wrappers are simply simpler than basic jms. Given that you talk about queues and their persistence however it sounds a lot like your problem would fit into a simple jms model. They aren't competing technologies, they are complimentary. You could use quartz to schedule batch jobs to run at specific times. So, quartz is a scheduler and batch is a process. You would use a quartz job if you wanted to check for new jobs every few seconds/minutes/hours/etc, and process one/many of them at that specified time interval. You would use spring-batch if you wanted to process all report requests at the same time, perhaps at night when your servers are not otherwise occupied processing real-time user requests (or even during the day during slow periods). |
