![]() ![]() “Those who carry deliberately on a path of treason, preparing an armed rebellion when you were preparing terrorist attacks, will be punished,” Putin said. Hours later Putin made an address to the nation that illustrated the depth of the crisis he now confronts. Prigozhin has spent months railing against Shoigu and Gerasimov, who he blames for Moscow’s faltering invasion of Ukraine. Prigozhin released a video saying his forces would blockade Rostov-on-Don unless Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, come to meet him.Īmid the rebellion, Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, described developments in Russia as “a staged coup d’état,” according to Russian state media RIA Novosti. That city, Rostov-on-Don, is the headquarters for Russia’s southern military command and home to some one million people. The crisis then deepened as Prigozhin declared his fighters had entered Russia’s Rostov region and occupied key military installations within its capital. ![]() Prigozhin later rowed back on his threat, saying his criticism of the Russian military leadership was a “march of justice” and not a coup – but by that point he appeared to have already crossed a line with the Kremlin. “There are 25,000 of us and we are going to find out why there is such chaos in the country,” he said. He vowed to retaliate with force, insinuating that his forces would “destroy” any resistance, including roadblocks and aircraft. The dramatic turn of events began Friday when Prigozhin openly accused Russia’s military of attacking a Wagner camp and killing a “huge amount” of his men. Some of Prigozhin’s forces began marching towards Moscow on Saturday before he published an audio recording claiming he was turning them around to “avoid bloodshed” in an apparently de-escalation of the rebellion. Putin called Wagner’s actions “treason” and has vowed to crush those behind the “armed uprising.” The crisis began when Prigozhin unleashed a new tirade against the Russian military Friday before taking control of military facilities in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh, plunging Russia into renewed uncertainty as President Vladimir Putin faces the biggest threat to his authority in decades. Reception įrom a retrospective review, film historian Roberto Curti praised Aristide Massaccesi's "efficient camerawork" but that the film does not "live up to its impressive opening", noting that Lucio Battistrada's screenplay "becomes cliché-ridden" and that Antonio Sabàto was "wooden as usual".The armed insurrection launched by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the bombastic chief of private paramilitary group Wagner, appeared to end as abruptly it started Saturday when the Kremlin said the mercenary agreed to leave Russia for Belarus in a deal apparently brokered by the country’s leader, Alexander Lukashenko. The film grossed 498,812,000 Italian lire on its domestic release. Director Alberto De Martino joked about the film later, stating it was "the story of Caesar and Brutus, essentially a bit like Shakespears so to speak."

Up until now the series provided one type of mystery or another that required Myron to call on his powers of deductive reasoning along with Win Horne Lockwood to provide muscle and Esperanza Diaz for a combination of witty rejoinders and solid detective work. The 5th book in the Myron Bolitar series is a bit of a departure from the usual breezy hi-jinks featuring the sports agent. My expectation is that the stories won't have me on the edge of my seat, more likely laid back in a hammock with a smile on my face, but that’s just fine with me. The good news is there are quite a few more books in the series and I know I’ll work my way through them all in due course. It’s like the bag of treats you get to the bottom of too quickly, I wanted more. How did I miss this first time around? It’s one of those books that eases you through comfortably to a point that you suddenly realise it’s about to finish. However, the attraction for me was in the dialogue - Byron is smart and above all funny. I wont go into the plot in any detail but suffice to say there are plenty of twists and turns. Brenda is feisty and attractive and has a complicated back story involving a mother who deserted her early in her life and an interfering father who has now gone missing himself. In this episode Myron, a sports agent amongst a number of hats he wears, is tempted to take on the job of protecting basketball star Brenda Slaughter, in exchange for the ability to sign her to his agency. I loved it! And more significantly, Win’s constant references to his best friend tempted me to give this series another go. But I recently picked up a copy of Win, a new novel from Coben featuring Bolitar’s sidekick Windsor Horne Lockwood III. I read the first Myron Bolitar book Deal Breaker back in 2013 and although, in all honesty, I can’t recall much about it my two star review indicates it didn’t work for me. ![]() Overall, this one is the best of the series to date, and has me stoked to hurry up and get going on the other chapters in the series so I can get caught up. The recurring characters offer much insight and wry observations and challenge Myron in ways he may not have asked for, but is better for it in the long run. Myron may have lost a little innocence here, and it will be interesting to see if he rebounds from this or is his character will have a new edge from here on out. Myron’s hilarious, self-deprecating remarks and observations kept me entertained through, what was a little bit of a slow start, but the tone changes little by little until the last quarter of the book, when things become more serious than I’ve seen them thus far. This installment is a little bit of a game changer as the reader watches Myron’s character go through a myriad of emotions, some of them very surprising. With Brenda’s freedom, and maybe even her life hanging in the balance, Myron enlists Win to help him find Brenda’s missing mother, possibly expose a cover up, and help keep Brenda safe, all while dealing with Esperanza’s demands to become a full partner, and cope with his waning relationship with Jessica. When Myron is hired to keep an eye on women’s basketball player, Brenda Slaughter, the last thing he ever expected was to find himself dealing with one of the most powerful families in the city, mobsters, and twenty year old secrets. One False Move by Harlan Coben is a 1998 publication.įive books into the Myron Bolitar series, and Coben’s writing really begins to hit a stride! You are always left guessing until the very end! I still highly recommend Coben and the Bolitar series. Also back and as awesome is ever is Myron’s good friend Win. Bolitar remains as sarcastic and cynical as expected with his witty comebacks and snarky inner monologue. The previous statements do not mean that the humor is not there. Maybe my initial reaction is my own fault – I was getting too comfortable. I can see it getting stale if it is the same book after book. ![]() ![]() I am thinking that some of the changes I saw were because this is book five in the series and maybe Coben felt it was time to re-imagine some of the characters and storylines. But, towards the end of the book I started to appreciate the more vulnerable and flawed Bolitar. For a while I was thinking I might go three stars with this because it felt so different and much rawer than I am used to (rawer sounds weird to me, but according to spell check, “more raw” is not correct!). This book is somewhat of dark turn for Coben and Myron Bolitar. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Developing from the lofi-bedroom pop first heard in his earlier music (including the Her soundtrack cover of The Moon Song with beabadoobe in 2017), Lang has sewn together different elements in his debut, all the while creating a meshed sound that references connected genres within its fabric. Interspersed by the fried electric echoes demonstrated through the opening and intermission tracks, the album toys with familiar movements, bleeding into psychedelic-rockier edges throughout. This debut marks a distinct, indie-pop-rock feel reminiscent of 90s indie classics pulsed through a nostalgic, upbeat lens. Built upon a warm and energetic style, the album characterises itself by the delicious, leftover-summer feels carried throughout songs. Often, you’re left wishing he’d pushed it further.(un)titled spotlights: Oscar Lang’s debut album Chew The SceneryĬatapulting from a release of EPs throughout 2020, 21-year-old Dirty Hit signee Oscar Lang releases his debut album Chew The Scenery. In some ways, it’s the story of this album. Spluttering into action, the album’s opener ‘Our Feature Presentation’ melds rowdy rock influences with a gargling, experimental edge – it’s just a shame it peters out so soon. These stand-out moments continue to show exactly what the Dirty Hit-signed musician, who emerged with fuzzy, bedroom pop tracks such as ‘The Moon Song’, is capable of. The self-reflective ‘Take Time Out’ dips its quill into a denser palette, too, with similarly winning results – it’s a collision between Lang’s clear love of propulsive British indie-rock and woozier, lighter-handed psych. Though ‘Yeah!’ bears many hallmarks of a stadium-baiting anthem, it’s also delightfully shot through the soundcard of a Nintendo 64. And where bombastic ambition meets experimentation, ‘Chew The Scenery’ also shines. Twinkling with piano and tender falsetto before making way for soaring strings, it recalls ‘Rush of Blood to the Head’-era Coldplay and is one of Lang’s most beautiful songs to date. Instead, Lang feels far more at home and intriguing with the intricate, slowly unfurling ‘Final Call’. There’s little to inherently dislike about the rollicking ‘I Could Swear’, but there are also no surprises lurking within its jaunty, slightly schmaltzy exterior: “All I do, reminds me of you.” Though the message of ‘21st Century Hobby’ feels hugely poignant in an era when musicians struggle tirelessly just to break even, musically it feels more Hot Hot Heat than the cutting edge of indie-rock. Yet Lang struggles when he shoots for huge, belting rock’n’roll – most of the more conventional tracks fade into the background. ![]() By the time final track ‘Thank You’ rolls around, Lang is pulled by both hope and regret: “I should of known better than giving you up,” he admits, thanking a break-up for making him a stronger person. Widening the scope further, the artist’s debut album ‘Chew The Scenery’ returns to themes of boredom and disenchantment, but mainly charts heartbreak with increasingly huge-sounding anthems. Initially catching people’s ears with the subtly affecting ‘She Likes Another Boy’, he’s steadily grown into an artist who delves into new sounds with every release – his third EP in 12 months, December’s ‘Antidote to Being Bored’, saw him enlist scuzzier sounds and post-punk influences – with searing results. ![]() Over the last four years, London musician Oscar Lang has proven he’s a dab hand at dreamy pop-rock and snarling anthems alike. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please keep your posts related to Ulta and "safe for work."

Since terrain is often used for creating large outdoor scenes, it usually covers a substantial amount of the screen area, commonly 50% to 75%. In most cases the visual differences in the texture, such as changes in hue or brightness across the texture, or the presence of specific detail such as a large rock in the center of the texture, can cause the tiling to become more noticeable as you look further out along the camera view. Since textures created for use on terrain are usually of 512x512, 1024x1024 or 2048x2048 resolution, it is difficult to obtain texture mapping across the surface that contains both a wide variety of detail and is free of visual tiling artifacts. If the texture UV scale is set large, tiling is often less noticeable and there appears to be more variety in far detail, but the terrain near to the camera usually looks blurry and the detail scale of objects in the texture such as grass or rocks appear larger than real-world. If the texture UV scale is set small, tiling is often very noticeable. The issues with this are that tiling can become more apparent as you look further into the distance, and that a specific size texture can only contain a specific amount of detail and variety, usually the smaller the texture resolution, the more noticeable the tiling and also much less detail. Blades of grass or small rocks should usually be scaled to a similar size of their real-world counterparts. In most cases, the UV scale for textures applied to terrain are adjusted so that the texture style looks relatively accurate for near-field viewing. There are a number of technical and artistic issues that plague level designers when attempting to create a realistic visual representation of a geological terrain style. In most cases there is a tradeoff between these two with current rendering hardware and software, where performance results in low realism, or high visual quality results in a significant performance penalty. There are two major considerations when designing the texturing system for terrain: performance and realistic detail.

![]() Make no mistake, scammers are targeting stimulus cash. Instead, they can get more information at. She noted that the consumers who have called so far are describing legitimate EIP payment cards and the BBB has been telling them not to destroy those cards. "Some seniors thought it was a scam and were going to throw it away," said Laura Blankenship, director of marketing for the Better Business Bureau Serving Eastern Michigan & the Upper Peninsula. The Better Business Bureau has been receiving calls from consumers who are confused about the blue Visa card. Many consumers are skeptical of these cards that are popping up in the mail. Department of Treasury noted: "In order to quickly disburse EIPs, some people who received EIPs by paper check for the first round of EIPs might receive an EIP Card this time, and some people who received an EIP Card for the first round may receive a paper check."Ĭonfused?

"I was nervous about it before I even called the number," said Brazill, 63, who lives in Detroit. "To me, it seemed like it could be a scam because I got an actual check the first time," he said.
