But Kylo Ren is on his way, along with the Seven Hundred and Ninth Legion. Snowtroopers wore specialized armor designed to allow them to serve in arctic environments. Riot control stormtroopers were trained in riot-control tactics and given non-lethal equipment, such as shields and batons for riot situations. Mountain troopers were trained to operate in mountainous environments like Batuu. Megablaster heavy assault troopers were heavy weapons specialists trained to use the FWMB-10 repeating blaster. Flametroopers were specialized units strategically deployed to flush out entrenched enemies with fire. įirst Order SCUBA troopers were outfitted to operate in aquatic environments, while First Order stormtrooper gunners were trained to fire vehicle-mounted weapons. As highly skilled hunters, their primary objective was to locate and acquire Sith artifacts for Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. įirst Order Raiders were specialized units who excelled at hunting Sith relics.įirst Order Raiders were a new class of elite stormtroopers. Decapitation was their method of execution, which they carried out with a BL-155 Laser ax. Unlike other variant units, the role of an executioner could be given to any standard trooper depending on the day's assignment. Įxecutioner troopers were the theatrical personification of First Order justice it was their duty to publicly execute troopers who were found guilty of treason. These specialists included but were not limited to electroprod troopers, troops armed with electroprods elite stormtroopers, trained to drive elite speeder bikes and First Order jet troopers, who were trained and equipped for aerial combat. The corps that they served in was heavily diversified with various specialized troopers to give commanding officers more options when deploying their forces. Nevertheless, the Order also allowed older citizens to join the corps, even creating a propaganda poster advertising enlistment. The Order mainly recruited stormtroopers by stealing infants away from their families, training them from that young age to create their legions of fanatically loyal and ruthless troopers. The Corps was made up of stormtroopers, the armored infantry units of the First Order. Stormtroopers were the standard infantry units of the First Order Stormtrooper Corps. " My men are exceptionally trained, programmed from birth." ―Armitage Hux Despite facing opposition from the Resistance, the First Order had conquered large swathes of territory, with planets like Kijimi occupied by a garrison of stormtroopers in 35 ABY. In the wake of the Hosnian Cataclysm of 34 ABY, the First Order moved to take control of the major star systems through military force. In reality, the Corps was trained as an invasion army the First Order was determined to reclaim the legacy of the Empire by conquering the galaxy. Lacking the Empire's military academies, members of the Corps were trained on the Resurgent-class Star Destroyers of the First Order Navy.Īlthough the Corps' existence violated the terms of the Galactic Concordance due to the First Order claiming the status as a successor of the Galactic Empire, the Galactic Senate of the New Republic did not take action against the First Order, which said that their stormtroopers were a territorial defense force. With their exceptional training and live-fire exercises, First Order stormtroopers surpassed their Imperial precursors both in skill and loyalty. The First Order conscripted a generation of human children whose obedience was programmed through indoctrination. The Corps was formed and molded by the influence of Commandant Brendol Hux, an Imperial officer who believed that soldiers should be trained from birth like the clone troopers and Jedi Knights who served the Galactic Republic. High- ranking officers held authority over the Corps, such as General Armitage Hux and Captain Phasma, although the troopers' overall allegiance was to the Supreme Leader of the First Order. Modeled on the original Stormtrooper Corps of the Galactic Empire as well as the Grand Army of the Republic, First Order stormtroopers were the face of the military and were the culmination of a military tradition dating back to the Clone Wars when white- armored soldiers represented the future of galactic warfare. The Stormtrooper Corps was a infantry division that operated under the Army of the First Order. " I lead as all great leaders do… from behind a disposable shield of patriotic idiots." ―Phasma The idea is to fight it from these platforms and good luck to you if your plan is trying to kill it as intended. But as you get closer to the grand cloister you can just make out where the dragon soldier is from some of the small stone platforms you raise out of the lake. You have to make your way from pressure plate to pressure plate sprinting through the lake of rot dressed as a mushroom, past the basilisks that will try to have their way with you all while trying to not let the status bar fill with scarlet rot. I had both arrow's sting and reach talismans equipped and I used the black bow with serpent arrows. I first noticed this with the dragonkin soldier at the lake of rot, I didn't once consider fighting that thing ankle deep in rot water but I wanted the sword it drops. Serpent arrows and maybe poisonbone, bleed or rot arrows will still proc their status effects though, but it seems to be at a reduced rate so I don't understand the reason why or how they would proc at all. If you use manual aim to target an enemy far outside the bow's range the arrows wont do any damage when they hit, you'll see it clearly with fire arrows.

A hut mounted on pilings could have been the habitation of “the missing link.” A great pleasure arose from seeing all those incoherent structures. Pumps coated with black stickiness rusted in the corrosive salt air. For forty or more years people have tried to get oil out of this natural tar pool. A series of seeps of heavy black oil more like asphalt occur just south of Rozel Point. Two dilapidated shacks looked over a tired group of oil rigs. The products of a Devonian industry, the remains of a Silurian technology, all the machines of the Upper Carboniferous Period were lost in those expansive deposits of sand and mud. The mere sight of the trapped fragments of junk and waste transported one into a world of modern prehistory. An expanse of salt flats bordered the lake, and caught in its sediments were countless bits of wreckage. Slowly, we drew near to the lake, which resembled an impassive faint violet sheet held captive in a stoney matrix, upon which the sun poured down its crushing light. Sandy slopes turned into viscous masses of perception. We followed roads that glided away into dead ends. Hills took on the appearance of melting solids, and glowed under amber light. The roads on the map became a net of dashes, while in the far distance the Salt Lake existed as an interrupted silver band. As we traveled, the valley spread into an uncanny immensity unlike the other landscapes we had seen. Just beyond the Golden Spike Monument, which commemorates the meeting of the rails of the first transcontinental railroad, we went down a dirt road in a wide valley. We then decided to leave and go to Rozel Point.ĭriving west on Highway 83 late in the afternoon, we passed through Corinne, then went on to Promontory. He showed us photographs he had taken of “icebergs,” 3Īnd of Kit Carson’s cross carved on a rock on Fremont Island. After fixing a gashed gas tank, we returned to Charles Stoddard’s house north of Syracuse on the edge of some salt marshes. The abandoned man-made harbors of Little Valley gave me my first view of the wine-red water, but there were too many “Keep Out” signs around to make that a practical site for anything, and we were told to “stay away” by two angry ranchers. He was kind enough to take us to Little Valley on the east side of the Lucin Cutoff to look for his barge-it had sunk. Yet, while he was living on the island with his family he made many valuable observations of the lake. His attempt to develop Carrington Island in 1932 ended in failure because he could not find fresh water. Stoddard, a well-driller, was one of the last homesteaders in Utah. We visited Charles Stoddard, who supposedly had the only barge on the north side of the cutoff. I thought of making an island with the help of boats and barges, but in the end I would let the site determine what I would build. At that point I was still not sure what shape my work of art would take. Due to the high salt content of the water it was impractical for ordinary boats to use the lake, and no large boats at all could go beyond the Lucin Cutoff on which the transcontinental railroad crossed the lake. His sons showed us the only boat that sailed the lake. Next we went to see John Silver on Silver Sands Beach near Magna. Although that site was interesting, the water lacked the red coloration I was looking for, so we continued our search. He was instrumental in building a causeway that connected Syracuse with Antelope Island in the southern part of the Great Salt Lake. First we visited Bill Holt who lived in Syracuse. Tuttle told my wife, Nancy Holt, and myself of some people who knew the lake. That was enough of a reason to go out there and have a look. The beach is grey and the lake pink, topped with the icing of iceberg-like masses of salts.” 2īecause of the remoteness of Bolivia and because Mono Lake lacked a reddish color, I decided to investigate the Great Salt Lake in Utah.įrom New York City I called the Utah Park Development and spoke to Ted Tuttle, who told me that water in the Great Salt Lake north of Lucin Cutoff, which cuts the lake in two, was the color of tomato soup. In The Useless Land, John Aarons and Claudio Vita-Finzi describe Laguna Colorada: “The basalt (at the shores) is black, the volcanos purple, and their exposed interiors yellow and red. The pink flamingos that live around the salars match the color of the water. Later I read a book called Vanishing Trails of Atacama by William Rudolph which described salt lakes (salars) in Bolivia in all stages of desiccation and filled with micro bacteria that give the water surface a red color. My concern with salt lakes began with my work in 1968 on the Mono Lake Site-Nonsite in California. Red is the most joyful and dreadful thing in the physical universe, it is the fiercest note, it is the highest light, it is the place where the walls of this world of ours wear the thinnest and something beyond burns through. Hip Hop has done exactly what its founders set out to do, whether wittingly or unwittingly. The progression of this culture and sound - from Kool Herc spinning James Brown breaks at a block party to Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Drake being some of the biggest forces in music 44 years later - is something that few people at that first party could have anticipated. Ultimately, to me, it shows that people in any situation have the ability to create something powerful and meaningful. But with acts selling out shows around the globe night after night, it was obvious that something bigger was brewing. To the rock establishment and corporate music business, hip hop was little more than a fad. A month later, RUN DMC, along with Kurtis Blow, the Fat Boys, and Whodini, started touring massive arenas across the U.S. It was December of 1984 and they found nothing but love on both sides of the English Channel. Following the success of those shows, I left LA for NYC and started working for Russell Simmons, who appointed me road manager for RUN DMC just as they were embarking on a European tour. One of my very first shows included RUN DMC, and they absolutely KILLED IT. My policy was to provide a stage for the music that promoters were ignoring: punk-rock, reggae, and rap. On a whim, I rented an abandoned hall and started booking shows. I’d graduated from college and was working at a bank in Los Angeles. I first engaged with Hip Hop music about ten years after its birth, when the culture was still a kid. I won’t pretend I was present when Hip Hop began. The messages of resilience unified a community of people and were the backdrop of hip hop’s beginnings. Down with Dope,' 'I Will Survive' and 'Lord, Show Me the Way!’”. My dear friend & first client Kurtis Blow once said “On one side of the street, big buildings would be burning down…while kids on the other side would be putting up graffiti messages like, 'Up with Hope. It should be noted that early Hip Hop stood against the violence and drug culture that pervaded the time. So Hip Hop recaptured that connection, beginning with the pioneers who brought back the evocative BOOM! BAP! rhythms of James Brown's drummer, Clyde Stubblefield. Specifically, they felt that the relatable storytelling and emotional truths shared in soul and blues had been lost in the pop-centric sounds of Disco. Hip Hop was also rebellion against several norms of the time, including the overwhelming popularity of disco, which many in the community felt had unjustly overshadowed the recent groundbreaking works of James Brown and other soul impresarios from the 60’s. Starting with folks like DJ Kool Herc, DJ Hollywood, and Grandmaster Flash, the grassroots movement created a new culture of music, art, and dance available to the 5 boroughs of the city and beyond. A kid with little means and hard work could transform their turntable into a powerful instrument of expression (also illustrating hip hop’s technical innovation). The Bronx DJ’s and MC’s rose to the task and the city loved them for it. The youth needed an outlet - a unifying sound, a beat, a voice to call their own. Following the fallout from the construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway in 1972 that demolished a lot of the neighborhood, times were particularly tough. It all started in the NYC Bronx, more commonly known as the Boogie Down Bronx. “Yes, yes y'all! And it don't stop!” Today we acknowledge and celebrate a cultural revolution that's spanned 44 years and counting. To dig deeper into the significance of this moment and culture from a personal perspective, we invited the project’s executive consultant and partner, YouTube’s Global Head of Music Lyor Cohen (and former head of Def Jam Records), to share his thoughts: What’s more, the whole experience is narrated by Hip Hop icon Fab 5 Freddy, former host of “Yo! MTV Raps.” Today, we celebrate the 44th anniversary of that very moment with a first-of-its-kind Doodle featuring a custom logo graphic by famed graffiti artist Cey Adams, interactive turntables on which users can mix samples from legendary tracks, and a serving of Hip Hop history - with an emphasis on its founding pioneers. During these “breaks” his friend Coke La Rock hyped up the crowd with a microphone. Instead of playing the songs in full, he played only their instrumental sections, or “breaks” - sections where he noticed the crowd went wild. During his set, he decided to do something different. On August 11, 1973, an 18-year-old, Jamaican-American DJ who went by the name of Kool Herc threw a back-to-school jam at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, New York. (from left) Skarbek Manor, 1870, woodcut by M. Żelazowa Wola, Fryderyk Chopin’s Birthplace. Cannons and flowersįrederic (in Polish, Fryderyk) Chopin, the most notable inhabitant of Żelazowa Wola, was born here in 1810, over a decade after the early modern Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had lost its independence to the three adjacent empires: Prussia, Russia, and the Habsburg Empire of Austria. Fryderyk Chopin was born in Żelazowa Wola, now populated by some sixty people, in a noble manor proportionate to the scale of the village. “Every time I feel like it’s a bigger accomplishment,” she said, but in the end, her motivation is still emotional.It takes less than an hour and a half to drive from Poland’s capital of Warsaw to its musical capital – the birthplace of the most famous and world-renowned Polish composer. Kensey only decided to enter the Reflections contest months after she choreographed and performed with Orchesis, but since then, she’s been on a roll, advancing to each new level of competition. She had wondered where the dance entries were in past years and when they’d break through to state, she said. “One thing about CdM is they have an amazing dance group called Orchesis,” said Julie Lobel, CdM’s Reflection’s chairwoman. He tapped into the area’s surf culture, and Kensey’s submission does the same with her school’s own culture. So far, Kensey and a fellow CdM student have made it all the way to state and expect to hear this month if they’ll move on to nationals.Ĭole Friedman, the other Newport-Mesa student competing still in the competition, shot a video documenting the rehabilitation of a broken surfboard called “The Spruce Mentality.” Local judges pick winners, sending them to the county level, where judges again pick the top works and submit them to the state level. This year, they all centered around the theme “The Magic of a Moment.” Students submit works to their local PTAs from six categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. She is one of two CdM students competing in the statewide Reflections Program art contest put on by parent-teacher associations across the nation. When Newport-Mesa Unified School District’s school board heaped praise on her after watching the dance, Kensey appreciated the significance of a contest she’d entered. It wasn’t until this month that Kensey realized her emotional choreography is also an award-winning piece of art, she said. “She was completely touched, kind of shocked,” Kensey said, adding that her grandma is still fighting hard against the disease. The Corona del Mar High School senior choreographed a dance depicting four doctors guiding four patients through a battle with cancer before they ascend a stairway.Īfter she and her Orchesis dance team performed the dance at a show last year, Kensey and her family grabbed a DVD of the routine and drove to Arizona to show grandma for the first time. “She’s seen it like a ton of times now, and she cries every time,” Kensey said. When Kensey Conti showed her grandmother a video she choreographed after being inspired by the woman’s struggle with stage-four lung cancer, she knew she had something powerful.

Six distracts it by playing the piano and the Bully is killed by Mono. Mono defeats the Bullies and frees Six by destroying the plank the rope is tied to.Īfter Mono and Six break through the floor with a piano, Mono will see a female Bully playing with key in a frog's corpse. He kills several more Bullies that come in and continues down the hallways, where he continuously deals with the multiple Bullies until he finds Six in a bathroom, hung from the ceiling by two Bullies. The disguise is successful, but breaks upon Mono entering another room.Īfter exiting the ventilation shaft, Mono finds a Bully drawing on the floor, who he kills by triggering a nearby trap. Mono wears the head as a disguise and moves through the cafeteria and a hallway full of Bullies causing trouble, torturing each other, and even hanging on the ceiling lights. He defeats them and, conveniently, one of the Bullies' heads pops off intact rather than breaking. After smashing the Bully's head with a nearby ladle, several more surround Mono. Later Mono enters the kitchens and sees another Bully. Mono later ends his misery by smashing him with a nearby pipe, although he has the option to not kill the Bully. The Teacher investigates, but after a while she returns to the classroom and, seemingly believing that one of her students is the cause, walks around the room, leaning near and disciplining them.Īfter exiting an elevator, Mono encounters a dunce cap-wearing Bully who is restrained with a leash. Once he manages to get to the next room over, he indirectly causes a bookshelf to fall. Mono later stumbles upon a classroom with six Bullies in it while the Teacher is teaching. After smashing the Bully's head, another Bully is seen dissecting a frog, only to later be killed by one of the traps. Mono later finds a hammer near an unaware Bully. Mono frees himself and tries to go after them, but they escape to the upper floor via a rope ladder. While Mono is constrained, Six is surrounded by Bullies and then kidnapped. Their identities remain unclear until one of them pushes down a locker onto Mono, trapping him. As the duo progress through the School, the Bullies stalk Mono and Six while setting traps for the children to fall in. Shortly after Mono and Six avoid the first trap in the School, they see the Bullies for a short time. When they leave, the boy kills them, smashing their porcelain heads with his lollipop, and then runs out into the street, where in the grass he finds the Bully he has killed and a broken bicycle. Later, he tries to escape from other Bullies, hiding under a desk in an empty classroom. Despite their violent nature, the Bullies become stiff in fear around the Teacher, but they can still attack Mono under her orders without her interference.Īt the beginning of the fourth episode of the digital comic, one of the Bullies is knocked down from the roof by the Fat Kid, after which he throws a bicycle at him. They are also completely relentless, as one of them does not stop trying to approach and attack Mono despite being restrained by a leash. They are extremely rowdy, disobedient, noisy and hyperactive. The Bullies are malicious troublemakers who will attack Mono on sight and will even bully each other. The Bullies rarely speak, and their personality is shown through their actions. Some have heads that are cracked open to reveal they are completely hollow, possibly as a reference to the phrase "empty-headed", meaning stupid. Their limbs are the same pale color as their heads, however, they can not be destroyed, suggesting that their bodies may be made of something more durable. Both male and female Bullies have large heads made of porcelain, with eye sockets, cracked white skin, white socks and black shoes, and neatly-combed black hair. The Bullies appear as scrawny, wiry children roughly a head taller than Mono and Six, dressed in matching outfits akin to late 1950's British school uniforms: white shirts with brown vests and shorts for the boys, and white shirts with brown skirts for the girls. They are Bullies, and they will get you if you don't get them first. Proof that all children don't get to be innocent, The Bullies aren't tragic figures, no cruel parents to blame, and don't secretly crave your friendship. It can be used continuously, appearing to reflect reality, and making few mental demands on the viewer. The camera-as-narrator is the usual viewpoint in film. Notice that without this transitional cue the relationship between the two paragraphs becomes less clear. In this example, the word “also” serves an important function. The transitional sentence signals that the new paragraph will provide another example of the phenomenon (changed mental habits) described in the preceding paragraph. īruce Friedman, who blogs regularly about the use of computers in medicine, has described how the Internet has altered his mental habits. I’m just seeking convenience, but because the way I THINK has changed?īruce Friedman, who blogs regularly about the use of computers in medicine, also has described how the Internet has altered his mental habits. “What happened?” He speculates on the answer: “What if I do all my reading on the web not so much because the way I read has changed, i.e. “I was a lit major in college, and used to be voracious book reader,” he wrote. With this version, readers are left on their own to infer the connection. The transitional sentence signals that the new paragraph will seek to demonstrate that the phenomenon described in the preceding paragraph (Taylorism) is ongoing: it is “still” with us and “remains” the dominant workplace ethic.Compare this sentence with the one directly beneath it (“paragraph opening without transitional cues”). Taylor’s system is the ethic of present-day industrial manufacturing. Paragraph opening without transitional cues Taylor’s system is still very much with us it remains the ethic of industrial manufacturing. Once his system was applied to all acts of manual labor, Taylor assured his followers, it would bring about a restructuring not only of industry but of society, creating a utopia of perfect efficiency. Observe the loss in clarity when transitional signals are removed. Pay attention to how each paragraph opening signals to readers how the paragraph relates to the one they have just finished reading. The examples below reproduce paragraph endings and openings. Let’s consider a few examples (drawn from published books and articles of paragraph transitions that work. describe a consequence or implication of the idea presented in the preceding paragraph.describe an exception to the idea presented in the preceding paragraph.describe a problem with the idea presented in the preceding paragraph.elaborate on the idea presented in the preceding paragraph. The transition signals the relationship between the “new information” and the “old information.” Effective paragraph transitions signal to readers how two consecutive paragraphs relate to each other. (If you need more time to wrap your head around the concept of the multiverse before walking into Spider-Man: No Way Home, I highly recommend checking out Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, an excellent movie and perfect primer for how multiverses work in comic book films. We learn that characters can travel across parallel universes, causing havoc along the way. But in the course of casting the spell, either Peter or Strange or both screw up the mechanics, and disrupts the multiverse. In the trailer, Spider-Man solicits the help of Doctor Strange to try to wipe the world’s memory of his secret identity. We know from the trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home that the movie will be dealing heavily with the concept of the multiverses. Either way, it’s safe to assume that Venom has traveled to a parallel universe. In the end credits scene, we don’t know if Venom causes the room to change or, by a stroke of luck, something strange or mystical happens right when Eddie and Venom are discussing Venom’s infinite knowledge. Speaking of multiple villains joining forces to take on Spider-Man, let’s dig into the multiverse. Venom seems to have entered the MCU multiverse Sign up for More to the Story, TIME’s weekly entertainment newsletter, to get the context you need for the pop culture you love. That seems like a tough challenge for a movie we know is already stuffed with bad guys like Doctor Octopus, Electro and the Green Goblin. No Way Home would have to develop a motivation for Venom to attack Spider-Man beyond hunger. Pure jealousy does not seem like motivation enough. So why, exactly, would Venom so badly want to munch on fellow do-gooder Spider-Man? In fact, he relishes the opportunity to play the hero. The only heads he bites off belong to already tried-and-sentenced serial killers. Eddie has convinced him that he can survive on chickens and chocolate, rather than a buffet of human brains. Or Sony could simply be teasing the possibility that Spider-Man will finally start appearing in Sony’s various Spider villain movies like Venom and Morbius.Īnd what, exactly, will Venom and Spider-Man’s relationship be? Over the course of two films, Venom has evolved into an anti-hero, arguably even a good guy. Venom could show up in Spider-Man: No Way Home by hopping across the multiverse (more on that in a second). When, exactly, that meeting will be is unclear. The Venom: Let There Be Carnage end credits scene hints Venom will appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home Then a stranger comes out of the bathroom and asks Venom what he’s doing there. Venom, watching the clip, begins to salivate over Peter. The clip seems to be the same one that plays in the end credits scene for Spider-Man: Far From Home in which Jameson, using a doctored tape provided by the villain Mysterio, frames Peter for Mysterio’s murder and unveils his secret identity. A picture of Tom Holland’s Peter flashes on the screen. (Simmons has played the boisterous journalist with a vendetta against Spider-Man in both the Tobey Maguire Spidey films and the most recent Tom Holland Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Far From Home.) In the news clip, Jameson reveals Spider-Man’s true identity: Peter Parker. On the TV is a new report being read by none other than J.K. Eddie asks Venom what he’s done but Venom can’t answer-either he is not responsible for changing their surroundings or he doesn’t know how he did it. And then he outs Spider-Man as Peter Parker.At that moment, the room beings to transform and suddenly Eddie and Venom find themselves in a fancier version of the hotel room (with, notably, the same layout for the bed and television). Mysterio claims Spidey “says he’s going to be the new Iron Man,” implying Spidey murdered Mysterio out of jealousy because Mysterio was stepping up into that role. In this highly edited clip, Spider-Man appears to order Mysterio’s drones to kill people (the phrase “Execute them all,” out of context, now seemingly refers to victims rather than to shutdown orders). A video clip has surfaced from the last confrontation between Spidey and Mysterio, Far From Home’s seeming hero, who revealed himself as a villain with a secret agenda earlier in the film. But then both of them have their attention diverted by a news broadcast. The mid-credits scene returns to them just minutes later, completing their swing with MJ, now frizzy-haired and shaken, suggesting that they should never do that again. Spider-Man: Far From Home ends with Spidey, aka Peter Parker (Tom Holland), taking his lady-friend MJ (Zendaya) out for a pretty terrifying-looking web-swing around New York City. |
