The character derives from Carpentier's interest in Afro-Cuban culture, music, and magic, evident in his first novel, ¡Ecue-yambo-Ó! (1933), and in his next, The Kingdom of This World ( El reino de este mundo 1949). Nor does the story propose (as Carpentier's later work does) that the man's magic is real in his world though not in ours: unelaborated, the sorcerer's world is not contrasted to our rationalist one. Although the story includes other Afro-Cubans, he is not among them. Once he has reset time's direction and lit the lamps, the Afro-Cuban sorcerer and his magical reality vanish into the text. With the workmen gone for the day, the old man twirls his stick over "a graveyard of paving stones" the house magically puts itself back together, and the man enters the house, where the Marqués de Capellanías lies dead. ![]() A mumbling old black man roves the ruins of a dilapidated colonial mansion being demolished by workmen. Unlike Carpentier's later work, where the "marvelous" accrues from the juxtaposition of different realities, this story depends on a magician and an explicitly literary trick. What is important, then, is not the source but rather the journey, the stories people spin out in idleness as they wait for death, a destination reached by the "hours growing on the right-hand side of the clock." First published in 1944, the same year as Jorge Luis Borges's Ficciones and collected in War of Time (1970), "Journey Back to the Source" starts from an idea so simple and so universal that a six-year-old has uttered it, "What if we could live our lives backwards?" The story answers that, living forward or living backward, we end in the same place: clay returns to clay. The Cuban novelist who invented the phrase "lo real maravilloso americano," Alejo Carpentier considered "Journey Back to the Source" ("Viaje a la semilla") to be the story from which his maturity as a writer began.

He follows a philosophy that weapons are for the weak because of that he always fights barehanded. Shiva is very fearless, and will not flee if anyone threatens or attacks him. He was once a Kempo teacher, informing that he cares about people and can be quite friendly (at times), but sadly all of his former disciples left to fight on the streets, and joined a criminal organization that involves unethical animal abuse at worst. With evidence from the extras menu in Streets of Rage 4, Shiva loves animals and will frontally oppose any forms of animal abuse. He is very calm, collected, and only fights for the right reason. Shiva is a stoic man of few words, who praises solitude and meditation in his free time. His Streets of Rage 4 attire is a throwback to his original design from the second game, except that his gi now has a yellow trim, with its right side completely loose and hanging down (showing that side of his bare chest, shoulder and arm), he dons red armbands instead of fingerless gloves, and the sash belt was replaced with a thick white shimenawa (praying rice rope commonly seen attached to bells in Shinto/Buddhist temples, alluding to his newfound faith in Buddha's teachings). The navy-blue palette exists only in Streets of Rage 3, as for the Bare Knuckle III version the forest-green one is his "standard" palette. In the American port, his "standard" palette for hair and attire is navy-blue as Round 1 boss, and has a forest-green palette if the player faces him again as the Stage 7 boss in the bad ending route. In Streets of Rage 3, his attire and hair share the same color, the shirt/ gi is entirely open and shows all of his pectoral and abdominal areas, and the fingerless gloves are replaced by simple sweatbands of the same color of the attire. In his debut in Streets of Rage 2, he dresses in a traditional black Koppou-ken attire, showing part of his thoracic muscles, pants and training shoes, along with a thin red headband (similar to Axel's), sash belt, and fingerless kickboxing gloves. He has shoulder-length black (or dark-bluish) hair, and a somewhat menacing yet disciplined facial expression. ![]() Shiva is a muscular Asian-American (or purely Asian) man, around the same age of his rival-turned-friend Axel Stone. ![]()

"Syn Studio was one of the few schools in the world that have a full time diploma program for concept art, apart from that the tuition is pretty affordable in comparison to the other similar schools so, it didn't take me a lot of time to decide which school to choose to study concept art. While it's still possible to land a job in the industry with all the online education nowadays, there is something irreplaceable about studying in an environment with like-minded, skilled individuals under the guidance of industry professionals that I would totally recommend to anyone who aspires to enter the entertainment industry." Games Montreal that I'm extremely grateful for. All the connections and friendships I have made through Syn Studio, helped me land a job at Warner Bros. Being taught exclusively by teachers who work in the industry was a big advantage since every class, homework and deadline was structured in such a way so as to prepare us for the daily life in a work environment. Through Syn Studio, I was able to grow as an artist, as well as a person, by meeting like-minded individuals and constantly pushing each other to improve. As an international student, and after doing a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that it was by far the most affordable concept art school located in the heart of a big gaming industry. "Syn Studio offered a great opportunity for me to enter the entertainment industry. ![]() We will take your hand and guide you on your journey to artistic and personal mastery - every step of the way. The school has a culture of excellence where everyone is expected to overcome their challenges and focus on growing and becoming their best selves, both artistically and as a human being. The workload is high and the deadlines are serious. The school’s standards are high - they are industry standards. It’s an inspiring space where you feel safe to explore your full artistic potential and to create freely. You’ll have the same pressure and deadlines like in a production studio but you’ll be in a much warmer, brighter and more artistic environment. it’s not just a computer room (aka studio environment) like many other schools offer, it’s a space for learning and creativity. But we kept the feel of a beautiful art studio with hard wood floors, high ceilings, large windows and a big dose of charm. Since then, we’ve expanded, moved into a much larger location and focused on concept art and digital illustration. We were like a secret oasis where concept artists, animators, comic book artists, illustrators and fine artists could practice their fundamentals with master level instructors. When we opened in 2007, we were a traditional drawing and painting atelier in a beautiful downtown loft. ![]() ![]() That being said, there are still a few titles on the app, including Claymore and Golden Kamuy, that are more mature reads.Įven so, the Shonen Jump app still has a wide variety and selection of manga from new series to older favorites, which comes as no surprise given that there are over 15,000 chapters on the app. So if you are a fan of their Sig manga series, like Dorohedoro, Black Lagoon, Record of Ragnarok, Terra Formars, and more, these are not on the platform. One downside to the Viz app, is that their more mature, seinen releases are not available to read on the app since they are 18+ titles. That being said, you can read some manga for free on their platform, albeit select chapters. 8 are free to read on their site as well as the most recent chapters to be released, but you have to get a membership to read the rest of the chapters. Without a membership, you can still read select chapters for free either on Viz's website or the app. You aren't locked into any sort of contract with their membership, which is nice. Once started, you can cancel your membership at anytime. When you sign up you get 7 days free to see if you want to continue on with an auto-renewing membership or cancel before your trial period ends. It is one of the cheapest options on this list too at only $1.99 a month. As you'll see later on in this post, the Shonen Jump app isn't the only place you can read some of Viz's manga online, but with 170 series on their app at the time of this post, they have the most extensive catalog of any reader dedicated to manga. ![]() The Viz Shonen Jump app is one of the most popular and well-recognized places to read manga online. I've personally read manga on all of these platforms, so in addition to their manga selection, pricing, etc., I'll try my best to review their user-friendliness and manga readers as well. There are many sites as well as manga readers and apps that you can read manga on, but the following are the best! All of the sites I included on this list are places you can read manga online legally. I enjoy building a manga collection, but I enjoy reading manga digitally too. They also are awesome places to read out of print manga, which oftentimes are expensive and harder to collect, as well. They are really helpful when you are missing one or two volumes, but can't wait to read a series. With manga being so out of stock lately, manga readers and apps are something I've come to appreciate more and more. It saves you a lot of space, or can be a great option for when you run out of space for manga in your house, you can read new manga series as they release in Japan, so you can keep up-to-date on series quicker than you would reading them physically, and it is usually cheaper, and even sometimes free, to read manga online. Reading manga online has a lot of benefits.

What is Dying Light: The Following ending? Which one you get depends on your relationship with Hakon, if you side with the PK at the Radio Tower, and whether you deviate from the PK path and end up helping Juan at the Radio Tower. There are at least five endings in Dying Light 2, with a few permutations and a not-so-great secret ending. How many endings Dying Light: The Following? Those who have finished the first Dying Light game would know that Crane opted to stay in Harran to assist the survivors. The events that happened before Dying Light 2 heavily indicate that Kyle Crane has died. What happens to Kyle Crane in the following?

In the Dying Light 2 Stay Human – The Reason – Official Gameplay Trailer, we hear a voice mention Crane, but only briefly: “Whoever thought the end of the world would be so peaceful? I wish Crane would’ve seen this.” It’s unclear who the voice is, but it appears that Crane has made such an impact on the world that folks in The City talk about him. Evidently, option 2 is what the developers are rolling with.ĭon’t give your hopes up yet if you were eager to hear about Kyle Crane. With Harran acting as a ground zero for the virus, humanity has taken a giant step back as the Infected now litter the world. Dying Light 2 takes place 20 years after the events of the first game, and the virus has spread to the rest of the world. With these two options in mind, it’s clear that the first one isn’t canon. The screen turns black as we hear that familiar feral roar emit from the game’s protagonist. It’s not until he climbs back to freedom that the worst finally happens: Night falls, and Kyle Crane becomes a sentient Volatile. So, as our hero continues to make his way back to his friends after standing victorious, sudden nightmarish blackouts begin to greatly hinder him. However, the Mother forcibly feeds Kyle some of the elixir that turned her into one of the senitent Infected. The other option shows Kyle sticking strong to his mission and fighting the Mother in order to retrieve the vials containing the cure. ![]() Triggering the nuke will ultimately wipe out all of Harran and anyone in the countryside – including Kyle himself. For the sacrifice route, Mother, a sentient Volatile, leads Kyle Crane to a nuclear warhead. The first game’s ending gave players two options to choose from: Sacrifice Harran or Get the Cure. Kyle Crane is most likely dead in the Dying Light universe, and he probably won’t appear in the sequel. ![]() But with his absence from Dying Light 2, some have wondered where Kyle Crane is, especially after what happened in the first game. He went through thick and thin to make sure that the next steps were safe, secure, and ready to go for a cure. Acting as the primary protagonist from the first game, Kyle embarked on dangerous missions to help the people of Harran as the virus continued to ravage the people. A new hero is here to master parkour and combat in Dying Light 2, but it won’t be Kyle Crane this time. ![]() As such, the Acquisition was a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. Given our third-party research study, conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Bitcoin Well in 2021, we know that 78% of Bitcoin ATM users frequent the same machine on a regular basis, and as a result, establishing trust within the local community is key.Įach of Adam O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer of Bitcoin Well and Dave Bradley, Chief Revenue Officer of Bitcoin Well, previously owned 100% of the common shares of Ghostlab. ![]() Applying the established processes and operating procedures developed by Bitcoin Well onto acquired ATMs has historically increased the average monthly sales volume in only four weeks. Based on the revenue growth of Bitcoin Well to date, it is estimated that realizing a return on invested capital from machine deployment is typically approximately ten months, which further supports our model of finding and completing accretive acquisitions to support our continued growth. For context, the top ten performing ATM machines in the Bitcoin Well portfolio have been in operation for at least 20 months, with half of those coming from acquisitions and half from organic deployment. While retrofitting existing cash ATMs with Ghostlab software to support bitcoin transaction capabilities requires much less capital than deploying new machines, both require time to establish the ATM as a revenue generator. In addition, the Ghostlab software has utility and benefit for other, third-party ATM operators, representing an incremental revenue stream and valuable data source for Bitcoin Well with limited capital outlay. Bitcoin Well believes that Ghostlab has sufficiently de-risked the software to the point where it can now directly contribute to the service offerings provided by Bitcoin Well. Ghostlab’s proprietary ATM software enables bitcoin to be more accessible to the average person, and more importantly, makes it easier for operators to manage their businesses. In addition, our Ghostlab division is constantly engaged in R&D to provide long-term, innovative solutions to support an increasingly digital economy.”ĭeploying Ghostlab software allows an ATM operator’s customers to access bitcoin, thereby benefitting from additional functionality within existing businesses, hardware, and platforms. ![]() “Given there is a natural timing difference between the capital investment into machines and the revenue returns, being able to deploy Ghostlab onto existing cash ATMs means we have the opportunity for revenue without high capital costs. “Bringing Ghostlab fully in-house, positions Bitcoin Well to further expand our products and services, and affords the potential to create incremental revenue streams without the high capital requirements associated with buying, branding and deploying new machines,” said Adam O’Brien, CEO of Bitcoin Well. The common shares are subject to a statutory four month hold period. Total consideration for the Acquisition was based on an enterprise value of up to $3.2 million, satisfied through the issuance of 2,758,621 common shares of Ghostlab at a price of $0.29 per common share, the closing price on the 11 th trading day of the issuer, the assumption of debt of $1.8 million and the provision of an earn-out, all as more particularly described in the Company’s Augpress release.
