![]() ![]() One of his greatest fans was his co-star. Oland’s interpretation proved a great success with the public. In 1931, fresh from two leading roles for Paramount as the satanic Fu Manchu, he was hired by Fox Films to star in a movie version of Biggers’ Charlie Chan Carries On. Warner Oland - a Swede with Russian blood - was already a distinguished stage actor before appearing on film as an Italian gangster, a handful of “Oriental” villains, and as a Hasidic cantor, Al Jolson’s father, in The Jazz Singer. His story offers a unique window into both American cultural history and the curiously contradictory manifestations of xenophobia. Today, though, Chan is often vilified for embodying the racist attitudes he, in fact, helped mollify - targeted as an indefensible and insidious stereotype, with his fractured English, fortune-cookie wisdom (long before “Chinese” fortune cookies became popular in the States), and seemingly servile manner, an Uncle Tom as pernicious in his appeal as Aunt Jemima.Īn exemplar of what critic Stanley Crouch called “cultural miscegenation,” Chan continues to both delight and offend millions - in part because all but the first three Chan films (lackluster “silents”) starred white actors in the title role. Though more unlikely a hero than his pipe-smoking English counterpart, Chan was as 20 th century “American,” in his own way, as Holmes was Victorian British. Part of Chan’s appeal was that he was the opposite of Fu Manchu - a kind of Sino-Dracula fond of kidnapping innocent young white girls, plying them with opium and forcing them into sexual depravity – a fictional villain who played a significant role in spreading an already rampant “Yellow Peril” racism throughout the Western world. The New York Herald Tribune described Chan as “philosophical,” and “one of the most endearing and likable characters of the cinema.” Far from feeling offended, native Chinese audiences “got” that Chan’s pseudo-Confucian proverbs were often used to comic, even ironic, effect. Carroll (small-time black marketeer), newly-minted Dracula Bela Lugosi (suspicious fortune teller), and future Superman George Reeves (suspicious cruise ship passenger).Īccording to The Chinese Mirror: A Journal of Chinese Film History, Chan’s exploits were the most popular movies in 1930s China, as well as among Chinese expatriates. ![]() The film series, which disseminated Chan’s fame far beyond the six novels it was based on, included some masterful cinematography, anticipating the best of Film Noir, along with a cast of supporting actors en route to major film careers - Ray Milland (as a romantic lead), William Holden (lawyer and suspect), J. By the 1930s, the witty sleuth was practically a household name, a media star embraced as the first positive Chinese role model. Between 19, Hollywood cranked out 47 Chan adventures - some 52 hours of screen time. No one, least of all his creator, could have anticipated Chan’s popularity, especially at a time when anti-“heathen Chinese” sentiment in the US was raging. ![]() Intended as a minor character -“a mere bit of local color,” as Biggers later put it - Sergeant Chan grew in importance as the novels evolved. Colorful settings – a racetrack, a swanky night club, a wax museum, a high-end casino, an archeological site – populated with appropriately colorful characters, added to his allure.Ĭharlie Chan was the invention of Earl Derr Biggers, a small-town Ohio “rube” who managed to matriculate to Harvard, then worked as a newspaper columnist and night police reporter before trying his hand at mystery novels. Distinguished by his wispy mustache, three-piece suits, Panama hat and, most notably, his often witty, pseudo-Confucian aphorisms (“Bad alibi like dead fish – cannot stand test of time,” “Love is as unexpected as squirt from aggressive grapefruit”), Chan specialized in solving murders in cities around the world. For much of the 20 th century, Charlie Chan was one of the most famous detectives in the world, on par with Sherlock Holmes. ![]()

Otherwise, he's a powerful character.Īcquired via a random event, the Contender has high strength and fitness, but is unable to use weapons. It's recommended to combine him with characters who can use firearms, because multiple characters who can't is a disadvantage. He cannot use firearms or other ranged weapons, but he can pick zombies up and throw them. Win with El Satan's patented wrestling moves.Įl Satan is an event-found character with high strength and fitness. He's a decent character either way, with much less difficulty than other members of the party. Thankfully, low morale simply means his appearance changes to that of fat Alvis, so you've got two chances if your team's morale gets too low. He comes equipped with karate skills, and high fightness, along with the ability to utilise all three weapon slots. He is similar to Mason in that morale deeply affects whether he stays or goes, and he will replace other members of the party (in other words, kill them) in form if his morale is too low.įound in a rare event, Alvis ALSO is affected by morale. If told to p*ss off, he will become naughty, and grant 50 fuel as opposed to 5 food. He has good mechanic skills, and two alternate forms: naughty or nice. Unfortunately, this particular achievement can only be got during the 24th-25th time of December. Since he is found based on a random event, there's no element of choice as to whether you find him earlier on or later, but it is preferable to find him when the team has high morale, and many members to support his murderous desires. On the bright side, if Mason dies, he will respawn a day later (provided the whole team isn't dead), his fightness/strength stats are high, and his weapons are decent, although unchangeable. He can also occasionally kill just whilst camping. Mason (?) is challenging to win with because, if the team loses morale, he will cause another member to 'vanish'. She isn't difficult to win with, provided she has support. She is a very powerful character, and focusing maximising HER strength stats is worth it. But he isn't too difficult to use for the entire gameplay if found early, beyond requiring other characters to transport weapons back and forth to the car. He can be hard to work with, since he is obsessed by his own strength, and will not use weapons. ![]() He has strength almost ten times the max of a normal character. Known in-game as T*L*B, this character is found during an event (in other words, randomly- you might find him on the road and have the option to recruit him). All achievements below require game completion to be won, meaning you've got to reach Canada for them to apply. I recommend the Rare Characters gamemode for this section. ![]() ![]() ![]() On Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “No Church in the Wild,” the kick drum loop receives enough high-mid presence for its attack to retain its punchiness, but the added bass depth also imbues the loop with rumble it doesn't typically have. See How We Test Speakers See How We Test Speakers This is a highly boosted and sculpted mix, with lots of added bass depth. Callahan’s baritone vocals get a pleasant low-mid richness paired with a high-mid crispness, and the acoustic strums and higher-register percussive hits both get enough high-mid and high-frequency presence to keep things bright and defined. If you have the Onyx Studio 7 on a resonant surface, it will vibrate intensely-and this is a track that really doesn’t inspire the kind of subwoofer vibration we associate with, say, electronic music. The drums on this track sound, well, thunderous, just like the sub-bass in the previous track. At slightly lower volume levels, the bass is powerful and well balanced with higher frequencies in the mix.īill Callahan’s “Drover,” a track with far less deep bass in the mix, gives us a better sense of the Onyx Studio 7’s general sound signature. At top volume levels, the DSP (digital signal processing) kicks in to prevent distortion, but that doesn’t really seem to thin the low frequencies out too much. On tracks with intense sub-bass content, like The Knife’s “Silent Shout,” the Onyx Studio 7 delivers some serious thunder. Harman Kardon estimates battery life to be roughly eight hours, but your results will vary with your volume levels. The speaker can wirelessly connect with another Onyx Studio 7 to form a pair, at least. There's also no companion app with EQ, so you can't adjust the sound signature. The Onyx Studio 7 is compatible with Bluetooth 4.2, which is a bit out of date, and unfortunately only supports the SBC Bluetooth codec-it won’t play AAC or AptX codecs. There’s no included cable for the aux input, which is frustrating for the price. The playback button can be tapped twice to skip forward a track, but there’s no way to backward-navigate a track, which is annoying.Ī recessed panel on the back houses a connection for the included power adapter, a 3.5mm aux input, and a USB-C port for service. Across the top of the grille, there are push-button controls for Bluetooth, power, playback, and volume up/down. Unlike the Onyx Studio 6, the Studio 7 isn’t waterproof and has no IP (ingress protection) rating at all, making it a poor choice for most outdoors scenarios.īeneath the grille, dual 1-inch tweeters and a single 4.8-inch woofer combine for 50 watts and deliver a frequency range of 50Hz to 20kHz. It’s an interesting design that won’t be for everyone, but it’s nice to see a company pushing the envelope a bit in the portable speaker realm-this really doesn’t look like any speaker we’ve tested in recent memory.Īlso, it’s worth pointing out that yes, this is a portable speaker with a battery and a built-in handle, but it’s on the heavy side, so it’s portable more in the room-to-room sense and less in the throw-it-in-a-bag or take-it-camping sense. Cleverly, the handle is also the stand that the speaker leans on to sit upright on flat surfaces. Available with black, blue, or white cloth grilles, the 12-by-10.6-by-6.3-inch, 7.3-pound Onyx Studio 7 has a rounded body that seems to hover inside its ring-like handle. The cloth and metallic materials remain, but this speaker looks more like an homage to the planet Saturn. If the Onyx Studio 6 resembles a designer handbag, the Onyx Studio 7 takes things in a completely different direction. Ultimately, you can get much better performance for the price-or even for far less. There's no EQ to adjust audio performance to taste, Bluetooth codec support is outdated, and the speaker lacks a water-resistance rating. Sonically, the Onyx Studio 7 delivers powerful bass depth that will appeal to those looking for some thunder, but not almost $500 worth. For $479.95, it falls short on features we now commonly see on speakers for half the price (or less). Harman Kardon's latest portable Bluetooth speaker, the Onyx Studio 7, feels like it was shot out of a time machine. ![]() ![]() The flip side of this quality offensive outburst was the 12 strike outs that Twins batters amassed in the first five innings. Willi Castro was the first man up to get it done in the bottom of the third, when laced a triple to right and forced Kepler to run really hard all the way around the bases to make the score 5-1 at the time. Slamming extra base hits with runners on base continues to be an effective way to overcome that trend. One of the plagues of the first half of the season for the Twins involved failing to add on to leads when opportunities presented themselves. The Twins Add On a Little, and Strike Out Far Too Much Will Lopez be able to make the necessary adjustments for the nights when the offense isn't adding on? A few base runners scattered around when those homers launch, like in his July 15th start against Oakland, and the story changes dramatically. That should be the main point of the story here. Lopez ended up completing seven innings, and only surrendered the two runs. One might argue that Lopez was pitching as if he was spotted a 4-0 lead in the first inning, but he has already given up 17 homers on the year, and is on pace to set a career-high by the time the playoff push rolls around. Julio Rodriguez took Lopez deep in the top of the second, and Cade Marlowe followed in the fifth inning by crushing a no-doubter to the bullpen for his first career home run. Lopez only gave up three hits over the first five innings, but unfortunately, two of those were home runs. Pablo Deals, but the Mariners Hung Around Max Kepler followed up a few batters later with a seeing-eye, thanks-for-not-shifting-anymore single through the hole at second.īefore Twins fans could even say "Thank goodness Max is back!" Matt Wallner stood up to the plate and torpedoed the first pitch fastball he saw, hitting it 111 mph off of a human in the right field overhang to complete the four-run first inning. ![]() Edouard Julien worked the count full, before bashing a triple off of the left field wall, scoring Correa in the process. Carlos Correa took a fastball to the opposite field for a double and the Twins didn't stop until they put a four-spot on the board. The Twins started their offensive attack against Kirby right from the first pitch. Twins Pick Up Where They Left Off Offensively Yet the Twins still found a way to lose a virtual lock of a game. Turns out scoring runs against Kirby was the least of the Twins' worries, as he only lasted four innings in this game. Kirby held the Twins scoreless last week in Seattle over seven innings of work, so the task looked formidable from the start. Taylor (12)īottom 3 WPA: Oliver Ortega(-.439), Jovani Moran (-.189), Emilio Pagan (-.176)Īfter surviving two consecutive extra-inning walk-off victories, the Twins looked to win the season series against the Mariners and to keep their good times rolling against right-hander George Kirby.

![]() I don’t think I’ve been one for a long time. It was as intense as it was shocking, and after coming off of so many wins in the lighter faring genres (two contemporary, one lighter fantasy), this was a cold shock to my system. ![]() I don’t know what I expected, but it certainly wasn’t what I read, in the beginning. In my heart, I’m as wild as the ocean that raised me.Īnd, I’ll admit, I did feel the pressure even though I waited a month before I tried it. Staying still, in one place and one moment, will make me miserable. You feel a pressure to love it that much, to not feel broken because you didn’t connect like the rest of the world. But, like with many things, I get nervous- it’s hard to fall in with the hordes of fans that hype up a new release (no matter how much you had previously wanted to read it). I picked this story up because of not only it’s content, but because of the rave reviews and incessant fangirling that came along with my friends devoted love and support. She’s something more, and it makes me too curious for my own good.

And that’s what happened here.Īs I stare at her, I see nothing of the wraith-like girl I pulled from the ocean. And sometimes, sometimes they just click. Sometimes it’s a random pick that is in a totally different style genre than I’m used to. I can’t explain what makes a book tick for me (I lie, I could go on for days)-sometimes it’s a tried and true pattern. Really it’s as blue as any sea, but the light does things. If I could write, and, believe me, the last few books I’ve read have made me pine for it so, this is exactly how I’d want to write. Unrelenting- the most vicious kind of poetry. And the writing-it was seriously out of this world. It feels like the worst thing I’ve ever done and the best thing I could ever do and how strange that the two are suddenly the same. And then it’s on my cheek, cupping my face, thumb stroking my lip. His hand moves from beside mine, and I feel a sudden absence. And the inevitable betrayal…hardly a betrayal at all, for how can it be a betrayal when it was right in front of your face the whole time? Two monsters in their respective worlds… two monsters who share the same dream. Hearts drum to the beat of the ocean’s waves, as rapid and tremulous as any tentative alliance formed, swept away with the thought of a shared loneliness.

The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most-a human. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea.

Due to the liquid proportions, you’ll get a quite dark drink.īoth beverages differ in taste and appearance. For flat white, froth milk with a small amount of foam. Then, pour whipped milk into it and mix coffee crema evenly with the milk. How is it made? First, make a doppio (aka double espresso). The drink retained its delicacy, but thanks to double espresso, its bright coffee taste was highlighted (in contrast to latte where coffee taste is not pronounced and the taste of milk comes to the fore). The barista avoided a lot of foam and reduced the milk proportion. It was created by a New Zealand roaster and barista Derek Townsend as a result of his experiments to balance coffee and milk flavors. A latte macchiato is just the opposite of an espresso macchiato in this scenario, it’s the espresso that ‘stains’ the steamed milk. Consumers choose it for the strongest coffee taste among other milk-based coffee beverages. Macchiato translates as ‘marked’ or ‘stained’ which makes sense, since the concept behind an espresso macchiato is to ‘stain’ the espresso with a dash of milk. It is a big misconception to rate latte macchiato as a drink for kids. ![]() Although the milk taste is prevalent in this drink, the amount of caffeine is equal to that in pure espresso. Latte macchiato is a hot coffee drink made by pouring espresso into milk. On a side note, because of this order of mixing liquids, a dark spot is left on top of the froth, which sounds like “macchiato” in Italian. To achieve this, you should pour espresso into milk because the order of adding the ingredients differs from that in other beverages. Layering is a distinctive feature of this drink, where you can see layers of milk, coffee, and froth on top. You will find your favorite on this list! Would you like to taste delicious coffee?

In fact, if you’re still producing barbecue, it can be cooked together with seafood to produce Surf’n’Turf. This can be great for space exploration and radbolt research. Additionally, while cooked seafood has the same morale quality as barbecue (good, +3) it also provides a radiation resistance bonus for your dupes. This can remove an important limiting factor on your steel production. Anyone who’s seen hatches eat through 1500 tons of rocks should appreciate an infinite food supply that doesn’t have a cost!Īs you transition into the midgame, pacu are one of the best sources of lime through their eggshells. The ranch itself is much smaller and easier to build (no need to understand automation, and much less refined metal required), and there’s essentially no input required to keep it running forever. While sweetles can be overpowered barbecue producers (see my other guide for details), pacu absolutely demolish them. In comparison to ranching critters for barbecue, pacu have a shorter lifecycle so food production ramps up faster. I build an “eggspam” hatch ranch (see my guide for more on that) and once I have mechatronics, instead of automating it I build a pacu ranch and start weaning off hatches. In my last few colonies I’ve done a hybrid approach where I never fully automate my hatches. Almost everyone starts out with hatches and barbecue, but in many cases we could skip that and go straight into pacu. More than any other critter, pacu can really be the backbone of your colony’s food supply for the entire game. ![]() Last updated for the Hot Shots Update – Build 537329 ![]() |
