A new shopping centre called 27Boxes opened up recently in the bohemian suburb of Melville, one of my favourite sketching haunts. It's made entirely of shipping containers and aims to encourage young designers, artisans, craftspeople and entrepeneurs to set up shop in the funky new spaces.
At first I was distracted on the roof of the shopping area by familiar scenes seen from the different high viewpoint. An antique shop in an old house, with Melville Koppies in the background - wintry trees, the Dutch Reformed Church and electricity pylons festooning the hills.
At last I faced the complicated angles and perspectives of one of the facades of the centre - and chickened out of trying to make sketching sense of them. I concentrated instead on mostly back views of tenants and customers who came outside to admire the new development, some dancing to the great music (70's, yeah!) being played by a local radio station that was there on this official opening day.
Time for lunch in a box - a light filled Italian café where I sketched from our tiny square table over soup and coffee, still avoiding tackling those constructional details that would've taken me all day.
Finally, a couple outside on the steps, enjoying some of Paul's Homemade Icecream in the ever present and welcome winter sunshine.
I guess I'll have to go back to draw the actual 27Boxes, when I'm feeling stronger architecturally.

Der Mont Avron (auch: Plateau d'Avron) ist eine  hohe Anhöhe, die im Département Seine-Saint-Denis in der Region Île-de-France liegt.

Geographie
Die Erhebung im östlichen Umland von Paris gehört zu den Gemeinden Rosny-sous-Bois, Villemomble und Neuilly-Plaisance. Aufgrund eines bedeutenden Gips-Vorkommens gab es hier mehrere Steinbrüche, die heute jedoch nicht mehr betrieben werden.

Geschichte

Der Mont Avron wurde 1870 im Deutsch-Französischen Krieg als wichtiger, die Marneübergänge beherrschender Punkt von den Franzosen stark befestigt. Jedoch wurde er schon nach zweitägigem Beschuss durch das 12. deutsche Korps am 29. Dezember besetzt.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Das unverbaute Gebiet ist als Natura 2000 Schutzzone unter Code FR1112013 registriert.
 Der 60 Meter hohe Wasserturm ist weithin sichtbar und dient als Wahrzeichen des Mont Avron.
 Kirche Notre Dame de l'Assomption, 1932 erbaut, besticht durch ihren eigenwilligen Baustil.

The Justice department has recommended the indictment of Cebu-based businessman Peter Go Lim for allegedly conspiring to trade in illegal drugs with self-confessed drug distributor Kerwin Espinosa and several other people.
The agency made the statement even as Espinosa's lawyer on Friday insisted there was no proof linking his client to the drugs seized from the house of his father Rolando, the former mayor of Albuera, Leyte, who was slain in 2016.
During trial at the Manila Regional Trial Court's Branch 26, the prosecution's witness, a Leyte police officer, confirmed that he did not find anything that would implicate Espinosa to the seized items.
In a resolution released on Friday, the Justice Departments panel of prosecutors said it found probable cause to indict Lim along with Espinosa, Peter Co, Marcelo Adorco, Lovely Impal and Ruel Malindangan for drug trafficking.
The department said the criminal complaint against Lim, Espinosa, Co, Adorco, Impal and Malindangan will be filed next week before the Regional Trial Court in Makati City.
The prosecutors ruled that the admission of respondent Espinosa during the legislative investigation of the Senate committees on justice and public order, together with Adorco's positive identification of Lim as one of Kerwin's suppliers of dangerous drugs, was enough to establish probable cause to charge them with conspiracy to trade in illegal drugs.
They rejected the defense of Lim that he was not one alias "Jaguar" as he was positively identified by both Espinosa and Adorco.
Besides, the prosecutors said, Lim's alibi that he could not have possibly been in Thailand during the time attested to by Adorco had to yield to the positive and affirmative statements of the witness.
The department's indictment of Lim came three weeks after its prosecutors recommended the filing of a criminal complaint against Espinosa, Co, Adorco, Impal, and Malindangan for committing the same offense.

Terms don't adequately protect car buyers, critics say
Agreements reached in dispute on open recalls
In the dispute over how dealerships can advertise and sell used vehicles which have open recalls, particularly certified used vehicles, the Federal Trade Commission gave its final approval to and closed consent agreements with General Motors and two large dealership groups.
Consumer advocates denounced the agreements, saying the terms do too little to protect car buyers. But the terms are likely to become precedent for future settlements. Indeed, the FTC has agreed to settle charges with three additional large dealership groups over the issue.
CarMax Inc., Asbury Automotive Group Inc. and West-Herr Automotive Group Inc. each agreed to settle charges laid out in the latest complaints by the FTC, which cited examples of the groups advertising thorough inspections of used vehicles, even as those vehicles had unrepaired defects that were not properly disclosed. Terms of that settlement now enter a public-comment period, just as the settlement with GM, Lithia Motors Inc. and Jim Koons Automotive Cos. did earlier.
GM, Lithia and Jim Koons did not admit wrongdoing and their settlements do not contain fines. The FTC had charged that they misled customers by failing to disclose that some used cars were under recalls. In effect, the FTC said that by advertising that their certified used vehicles had undergone multi-point inspections, the three were implying that those vehicles were safe, despite any open recalls.
The approved order, which remains in effect for 20 years, prohibits GM, Lithia and Jim Koons from claiming that their used vehicles are safe or have been subject to a rigorous inspection unless either A) the vehicles are free of unrepaired safety recalls, or B) the companies clearly disclose the existence of a recall in close proximity to the inspection claims, the FTC said. It's the latter option that has consumer advocates up in arms.
Cathy Chase, vice president of governmental affairs at Advocates for Highway & Auto Safety, said in a statement, "Families will walk into dealerships to buy cars, be informed that the vehicles have been given a safety stamp of approval, be required to sign a pile of papers with a message tucked in that the car may be subject to unrepaired recalls for safety issues, and will drive off the lot at their own peril."
Others unhappy with the terms of the settlement include Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, and U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Edward Markey, D-Mass.
On the other hand, a GM spokesman said the automaker is "pleased that the matter is resolved."
"Our policy before the inquiry [was] and continues to be that open recalls should be addressed prior to delivery," the spokesman added. "That said, we have taken steps since the ignition-switch recall to improve our systems to help ensure that all the certified pre-owned guidelines are followed."
A message on GM's certified pre-owned website says the automaker requires dealerships to complete all safety recalls before a certified pre-owned vehicle is listed or sold.
"However, because even the best processes can break down, we encourage you to check the recall status of any vehicle at recalls.gm. com," the website reads. Consumers can also look up a vehicle identification number on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website to see if a vehicle has not been repaired as part of a safety recall in the last 15 years.
The consent orders with CarMax, Asbury and West-Herr, announced on Dec. 16, were approved by the FTC in a 3-0 vote and now face a 30-day public comment period. They would require the three companies to mail notices to customers dating back to July 1, 2013, that their vehicle could be under a recall, the FTC said.
CarMax, Asbury and West-Herr would also be banned from "misrepresenting whether there is or is not an open recall for safety issues for any used motor vehicle, whether they repair such vehicles, and any other material fact about the safety of the used vehicles they advertise for sale," the FTC said.
A spokesman for the National Automobile Dealers Association said it is still reviewing the orders for CarMax, Asbury and West-Herr.
He noted that the drafts include slightly different wordings regarding notification to consumers.
The Asbury and CarMax draft consent orders offer an additional form of compliance: a written notification "that clearly and conspicuously conveys that the vehicle is subject to an open recall that is unrepaired, and the safety risks associated with the recall." The West-Herr order does not include that.
Kelly Baker, Asbury's chief compliance officer, said in an emailed statement that "many years ago" the group "implemented a program designed to notify consumers of the history of each used vehicle that we offer for sale.
"As part of this program, all vehicle advertisements prominently display direct links to a current Carfax report, which provides information about a vehicle's history, including recalls, at no cost to consumers. Additionally, we expressly disclose open recalls to each consumer prior to completing the vehicle purchase."

Yes, after all the excitement of yesterday today was bit of a step down in terms of excitement both in what we did and the skiing conditions. One thing that slowed today down a bit was being stopped every few minutes by people wanting to hear about yesterday's avi, I guess that sort of thing is pretty close to the heart of every real skier on the hill. An update is that my lost ski hasn't turned up so I am on my old sally Shoguns unless I take advantage of the end of season bargains to look at something like a new pair of DPS's. In any event the guys in Patrol reckon they will find the old ski some time in May so let's see how things pan out.
Today dawned bluebird and although the official reports suggested 10 cms in the last 24 hours I reckon most of this fell during the day yesterday and we probably only got 2 cms overnight, if that. The base was up at 348 cms but as anyone will tell you the base figure is good for judging coverage and long term potential for the season but tells you nothing about the ski conditions. The temps on the way to the hill was -5 and a few degrees colder up top. The day was one of those where things warmed up in the direct sunlight but as there was no real atmospheric warming then anywhere out of the sunlight remained cold and in terms of a skiing surface bullet hard and icy.
We went to the Old Side for a poke round and found all the main runs in Lizard groomed as were those in Cedar bowl but the sign line was down at Snake Ridge so skiing ended at around Trilliam. In terms of surface it was soft powder snow from the Lizard high traverse but anything below Tower 6 trail was pretty ugly crud. This was true all across Boomerang and in the trees in Cedar Centre. After a few loops around Bow and Cedar Centre ( the return to Boom was always via lower North Ridge as Kangaroo is too ugly to open) we decided to go to the New Side.
Initially we were restricted just to White Pass and had several good loops through Knot Chutes which were getting a bit chunky but quite soft and Surprise Trees which were ok on top but tricky crust in the shadows. After several loops of Knot Chutes and even a few of the I Bowl, Gun Bowl, Pillows etc all of which were soft tracked snow they opened Currie Bowl but with Polar Peak closed.
We did three loops of Currie keeping an eye on Polar all the time and had good runs through Currie Glades and Anaconda Glades which were both soft and lightly tracked before heading out to Concussion for the lunch time run to base. Concussion just about typified today with great soft skiing on top, spring skiing through the chute and just after and hard bumpy skiing low down.
After lunch I took a loop of White Pass while deciding what to do and I had just decided to give Skydive a lash when they opened Polar Peak. They only opened the Polar Coaster side which was all ungroomed and had a sign line to keep everyone out of Grand Papa Bear but the soft snow windrows on top and the untracked runs were good fun. Of course things got tracked up pretty quick and after two runs Shale Slope was living up to it's name. We just spent the afternoon doing Polar loops and having a great time in soft snow. Best moment was when a visitor skied up to a Patroller buddy who was guarding a sign line which the poachers were trying to crash. He was standing in front of three signs saying "Closed" and the visitor asked - is this closed ? Sometimes I don't know where the patrol get their patience from.
As we neared closing we cut across into lower Papa Bear and had a very nice run down the soft avi debris which was there from the early morning control slides. The run to base was via Diamond Back and the final pitch was super slick ice and very off putting. Last run had to be Skydive despite all signs that it would be ugly. Only 4 of us were stupid enough to turn up and try it. I have to say it was the most ugly that it has ever been with a few turns of soft bumps then hard refrozen crud and ruts all the way down just getting worse the further you went in. A big hand for Dan, Kevin and Rod who joined me and survived.
A nice sunny evening to make the beers slip down well and then a quiet night in. Snow in the forecast but how much and when is bit more problematic.

Private Placement vs Public Offering
Posted on January 29, 2021 By John In Uncategorized
For most companies, raising capital through issuing stocks is a prevalent option to get funds. However, there are different ways they can generate those funds. For most companies, obtaining funds from existing financiers is a great option. However, there is a limited amount of funds that companies can generate. Therefore, they must get those funds from other parties, usually the general public.
When it comes to generating funds through the public, companies also have several options. Among these, private placements and public offerings are most common. There are differences between both options, which is crucial to understand.
What is a Private Placement?
What is a Public Offering?
A private placement allows companies to issue their stocks or bonds to a pre-selected pool of investors and institutions. They don't go to the open market to get these funds. It is a great alternative to public offerings, especially for companies looking to stay private. For public offerings, companies have to change their status to the public.
Initial Public Offering Process and Example
How Pension Fund Works
Distressed Securities Hedge Funds
Usually, companies select investors from different sources. These may include wealthy investors, banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds, etc. The selection process of these investors differs according to every company. However, companies always target investors that can provide a sizeable investment.
Private placements, unlike public offerings, have relatively fewer requirements and standards. For most companies, going through the additional regulatory procedures may not be worth generating the finance. Therefore, they may prefer private placements as opposed to public offerings. Companies don't have to provide detailed information to investors either. However, they may still do it.
Private placements are most common for startups that want to raise finance. Mostly, startups within the e-commerce and financial technology sectors benefit from private placements. Private placements allow companies to grow and develop while avoiding regulations that come with public offerings. The process is also quicker, making it easier for startups to generate funds.
Unlike private placements, companies do not limit their options with public offerings. Companies that use public offerings offer their stocks or securities to the public through a market. During the process, the company also becomes public, allowing its securities to trade in the market. Before public offerings, companies have to offer their securities in private.
Companies start public offerings by selecting an investment bank for the process. Once they do so, they perform due diligence and make the necessary filings. Similarly, companies also decide on a price for their securities. There are several factors that they weigh in to make a pricing decision. Once they go public, companies perform further analysis to ensure after-market stabilization. Next, companies have to go through a quiet period after which they can transition to market competition.
Public offerings allow companies to generate significantly more finance. In theory, companies don't have to stay limited to a few selected investors. They can receive funds from an unlimited number of investors. Similarly, once a company goes public, it can use the same process in the future to generate more funds. However, public offerings come with stricter regulations to which companies must oblige.
There's also an extra party involved in public offerings known as underwriters, or the investment bank. These are institutions or firms that bring a company's issues to the market. These firms sell shares to their clients at the initial sales price. Once these shares go through their investors, other investors can obtain them after the company's shares start trading in the market.
Companies can generate funds through several sources. For this process, they may either use private placements or public offerings. With a private placement, companies offer their shares to a pre-selected pool of investors. With public offerings, companies can get funds from the public, not limited to a pool of investors.

Q: compatibility and possible problems with my basic div slider I have  never used or developed any slider for webpage yet and this is my first time.So I searched for a tutorial and found one where he was using the following JQuery code to silde the divs on webpage.
$(document).ready(function() {
          $('#controls').on('click', 'span', function(){
            $("#inner_container").css("transform","translateX("+$(this).index() * -450+"px)");
          });
        })

Since I had single slider on page and there was no requirement of jQuery for any other purpose,I decided not to use JQuery and thus changed the script to
function slide(i)
        {
            document.getElementById("inner_container").style.transform="translateX("+(i*-450)+"px)"
        }

and called this function as

Show Third

Its working fine but I wanted to know that is there any pitfall with this replacement as I am using this for navigation on my website and my entire site is dependent on it?

TISC Outreach & Inclusion – Best in the Nation
TISC received a HUGE recognition from US Sailing at their National Symposium held in Austin, TX last month. Our team was recognized for "their significant efforts in creating access to the water for thousands of SF Bay youth and adults".
This year's award was extra special as it was recently renamed in honor of Mr. John B. "Jim" Kilroy, Sr. While Mr. Kilroy had much success in his life – a prominent California real estate developer who was also a champion yachtsman and renowned philanthropist – the success he most cherished was sharing the sport he loved with youth who may not otherwise have the opportunity to sail. He lived by his mother's philosophy, "If successful, you carry others with you for the benefit of mankind."
At the risk of sounding over-dramatic, this is a BIG DEAL! And while I admit to being completely non-objective, this award was WELL DESERVED. TISC was singled out for making "notable contributions in promoting public access sailing by identifying and actively including people who would normally have no access to sailing. In 2016 alone, 3,600 children, youth and adults sailed, paddled or kayaked on Clipper Cove in San Francisco Bay through TISC programs."
Two recent TISC initiatives, both enabled by generous grants from the St. Francis Sailing Foundation, were highlighted for special attention. The development of a high school racing team for Oakland's Envision Academy was launched in partnership with OCSC Sailing School.
And Set Sail Learn, a one-day exploration trip for San Francisco fourth graders that incorporates sailing into a hands-on STEM curriculum, fosters learning and a love for San Francisco Bay.
So "thumbs up" for our full-time staff, summer instructors, volunteers, and tenants. And especially to our sponsors, grantors and many individual donors. Without YOUR time, effort and financial support we would never have been able to provide these sailors, kayakers and paddlers with life changing opportunities. YOU have enabled so many to touch the Bay, grab seaweed in their hands, learn about the history and power of the wind and become nature advocates and caretakers for decades to come. Many with TISC-provided scholarships.
YOU should feel part ownership in the 2016 US Sailing "Jim Kilroy Outstanding Outreach & Inclusion Award.
If TISC had not "reached out and brought in" over the last six years, many of the 16,000 smiles that lit up Clipper Cove would not have happened. And speaking of Clipper Cove, none of these smiles would be possible without the star of our show- Clipper Cove. Here's a bit of history plus additional photos of "The Cove".
Below we've captured the wide range of Bay Area residents TISC reached out to and the 2016 programs that drew them in.
1,317 Fourth graders from 35 San Francisco Public Schools attended one of the 161 Set Sail Learn STEM experiential learning classes provided at no charge by TISC. This unique and innovative program, designed to meet California Core standards, is a one-day exploration trip incorporating curriculum-aligned science and math learning, together with sailing on San Francisco Bay.
Over 4,200 students from 35 SFUSD schools attended one of 161 classes since the first class in 2013.
432 youth and teens participated in spring, summer and fall sailing / adaptive lessons. TISC uses a 5-level progression to teach life lessons including goal setting, communications teamwork and leadership while instilling feelings of respect, self-esteem and self-reliance in its students.
Over half of these students received scholarships to enable them to participate in these week-long programs. Ages range from 6 year-old "harbor seals" to youth racers and on to junior instructors who return to TISC as full instructors.
Their "Co-Able" sailing lessons, run in partnership with the Bay Area Association of Disabled Sailors, team youth with physical or emotional disabilities with partners with complimentary or no disabilities; together both can learn the joys of independent sailing.
431 youth participated in orientation and after-school "first sails". TISC has reached out to nearly 60 San Francisco organizations who work with at-risk youth to provide them with outdoor activities, role models and an opportunity to learn about and enjoy the bay. Most participants are on scholarship, and many students return for additional classes.
884 adults, many with their families, attended one or more Community Sailing activity hosted by TISC. Opening day in the spring, offering free sailing, kayaking and paddle boarding, as well as land-based games, crafts and life jackets, is by far the largest single event sponsored by TISC.
The local V15 fleet races on Clipper Cove as well and promote "last to first" races that encourage youth to crew with experienced racers who are then awarded bonus points for providing budding racers the opportunity to participate in Thursday night racing on Clipper Cove. Adult keelboat classes, the newly formed Social Sailing League and the recently launched adult dinghy racing classes round out the TISC adult programs.
495 high school and college racers, coaches and parents practiced or raced on Clipper Cove which provides a unique combination of protected, current-free water with good winds and access to docks.
Most notably TISC teamed with OCSC in 2014 to launch a high school racing team which provided students from Envision Academy, in Oakland, with the opportunity to learn to swim, sail and race. The Academy has a tremendous track record for placing their seniors in college. The Envision Academy Sailing Team (E*A*S*T) provides not only life skills, but also an extra boost and racing experience these young sailors can take with them to college – a big plus for making new friends and expanding their secondary school experience. And to provide these students with additional incentive as well as social connections to stay in school.
The photos above are just a few of the many ways TISC creates ambassadors for Mother Nature and advocates for clean oceans and a sustainable environment. Our outreach to Bay area youth and adults extends well beyond the over-18,000 of smiles we've generated in just the last six years alone.

Jim Kilroy was remembered by Scuttlebutt Sailing News
Jim Kilroy's obituary in the New York Times included many unique and inspiring philosophies taken from his decades of successful sailing as well as his business successes. The one facet of his philosophy that really struck home with me was: "Mr. Kilroy was known for carrying an all-amateur crew that, at his insistence, would sail with him full-time for no more than three years. Afterward, the young sailors, numbering more than 600 over the years, were meant to pursue their own careers".

Bones are in a dynamic state throughout the life. Bone metabolism is a continuous process which maintains a balance between the resorption of old and injured bone and the formation of new bone under. This continuous degradation and formation of bone is termed as bone remodeling or bone turnover, a process that occurs throughout the life. The balance between bone degradation and bone formation is altered due to aging and cessation of the menstrual cycle in women. The present study aimed at estimation of the two important markers of bone turnover, serum osteocalcin and urinary hydroxyproline in postmenopausal women and also to probe into the role of these both in assessing the altered bone metabolism. 100 women were included in the study out of which 50 were premenopausal who served as the control and 50 were postmenopausal women with mean age in years 35.11 � 4.09 and 62.65 � 7.4 respectively. Total calcium (mg / ml) and osteocalcin (ng / ml) were evaluated in the serum while hydroxyproline (mg / g creatinine) was estimated in the urine of both the groups. Significant decrease in the total calcium (p value 0.001) and significant increase in the serum osteocalcin level (p value 0.001) and urinary hydroxyproline (p value 0.001) was observed in the postmenopausal women. The results of the study suggested that biochemical markers like osteocalcin and urinary hydroxyproline may serve as the indicators of altered bone metabolism and therefore can be used to monitor the same in postmenopausal women subsequently helping in evaluating the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Images excite us sexually, they animate religious experience, they make us cry or comply with disgust, desire or hope; they incite revolts. The historic and ethnographic evidence for the potency of the images is unmistakable and overwhelming.
I believe photography has reshaped our perception.
We live a cultural situation marked by the saturation of images; we all collectively participate on the hyper representation of the body. The overload of images creates more alienation and confusion and as a result we manifest the need for more; more image production, more accumulation and more congested archives.
In search of an invisible knowledge we end up repeating the same image and covering social media with imitation and re-enactments.
During the workshop we will explore our relationship with the 'performative image', we will try to connect and not separate from our human condition, we will confront the image and curry its weight.
Each image created will look back at us.


Gallery: 2014 Dana Point to Oceanside & Back Offshore Sprint | The Watercraft Journal | the best resource for JetSki, WaveRunner, and SeaDoo enthusiasts and most popular Personal WaterCraft site in the world!
A calm, overcast start turned into a bright and sunny finish at the Jettribe Dana Point to Oceanside and Back offshore endurance race on Sunday, September 21, 2014. Promoted by Ross Wallach of RPM Enterprise and presented by Hydro-Turf, Sea-Doo, Hot Products, Sea-Tow, Jet Re-Nu, Oakley, Kawasaki, Watercraft Journal, ProRider Magazine, and www.pwcoffshore.com, all helped in bringing this race back after no race last year.
As the 17 racers gathered for the start of the race, the conditions were uncharacteristic for the Pacific: eerily smooth waters and a mere 1-2 feet of swell. When the green flagged waved, the calm conditions allowed a drag race start of top end performance at full throttle speeds.
Mike Klippenstein, riding his R&D turbo Yamaha FX Cruiser, quickly took the lead position with Chris Heinrich, riding a built Yamaha FZR, hot on his heels. Close behind the two leaders were John Feeney on his Pro Open Kawasaki Ultra, and Michael Perry of Factory Kawasaki on his Manufacturer Stock 310R. Hot on Perry's wake were Manufacturer Stock riders Jeff Lane, on his new Kawasaki 310R, and Curtis Marker on his brand-new 2015 Yamaha FX SVHO. Abeam these fast paced Manufacturer Stock boats in another Yamaha and Kawasaki position battle were Santiago Kuan, riding his Yamaha FX, and Derek Newton on his Kawasaki Ultra.
Following this lead group was the rest of the field in an all-out sprint through glassy waters to the turn boat outside of Oceanside Harbor. The conditions going south were in the riders' favor, going with the current and direction of the swell all the way down. After the turn boat, the seas gave the riders a little bit more of a challenge with oncoming swell and parting clouds giving way to bright, sunny and clear conditions.
Rider Evelyn Mangan suffered a late start due to battery issues, starting 18 minutes behind the field. But the trials were not over for Mangan, who was pulled over by Dana Point Harbor Patrol just seconds after crossing the start line for getting on the throttle just before the 5mph zone ended. This was a first for race director Ross Wallach and the RPM race series, having a racer pulled over during a competition.
At the top of the field, Mike Klippenstein rode his Yamaha through smooth conditions and across the finish line in a battle for the top spot, finishing just 3-seconds ahead of John Feeney on the Offshore Robot Kawasaki Ultra. Only one minute behind the Pro Open boats was the Manufacturer Stock class winner and impressive third overall finisher, Michael Perry on his Kawasaki Ultra.
Coming back from a knee injury sustained during the LB2CAT in July, was the #22 Yamaha of Brittany Marker, the first woman across the line at Dana Point and boasting a 10th place overall finish. Shortly after, Chris Heinrich finished in 12th place due to boost line issues on his impressive Yamaha FZR. One minute later, 15-year-old Brennan Newton, the younger brother of sixth place finisher Derek Newton, finished his first ever race on a borrowed Kawasaki from Shawn Alladio. Newton threw his hands in the air after crossing the finish line in excitement of his successful ride.
As racers continued crossing the finish line, more close battles ensued, and although a late start, Evelyn Mangan took advantage of the familiar "lake-like" conditions, setting a blistering pace and passing two riders before the finish line. A few minutes later, former world champion, Sheldon Messick, crossed finished on a borrowed Polaris, racing in order to qualify for the upcoming IJSBA World Finals.
All 17 starters finished the race under their own power within the time allowed, even with some mechanical issues and one rider being pulled over by the Harbor Patrol. Ross Wallach was happy to announce that it was the first offshore race in the series to finish without a single DNF in 8 years. This rare occasion made for a great day of racing and happy competitors all around.


In Timothy Wenzel's latest album he combines many of his life philosophies blended with his dream state to create music which woos' you gently into time and space which is without borders.
Rich and deep with gentle overtones the album is a bit like biting into that mouth-watering piece of chocolate cake discovering hidden flavours as the taste meets the texture within.
The melodies are haunting yet structured as in the dream state, tantalising and evocative and as subtle as that half formed thought or emotion.
Many of the pieces have their origins in historic events or times and places, coupled with a symbiotic fusion of technology and mysticism which can also be considered the music form of what Wenzel considers important in life. A little dreaming, a little science and a contemplative understanding of mystic which goes to creating the melting pot of life are all interwoven throughout the album.
Relaxing, peaceful and as with many creative albums Coalescence of Dreams improves with the listening as each piece becomes a collection of textures and layers relative unto each composition, creating a unique listening sensation every time.
Even though it's not applicable to his music, someone ought to tell this kid not to say things like he gets most of his ideas when he's falling asleep. There's too many snipers ready to take that and run with it when presented with a NAC/new age album they didn't really listen to. If you really listen to this, you get a solid impressionistic/soundscape set that might well be the intersection of dreams. His thesis behind this set is actually a good premise for a touchy feely movie by some actor doing his one for me picture. As much Yes-lite as it is Yanni, there's a nice flowering here continuing to blossom as he releases each new set. Tasty stuff for the new ager looking for something with bite he can sink his teeth into as well.
There is a great new CD out by Timothy Wenzel called A COALESCENCE OF DREAMS. Every now and then comes along what I call a traditional new age album with all the right ingredients (albums by Tron Syversen last year come to mind) -- relaxing yet invigorating, soft yet interesting, dreamy and spacey, some lovely melodies and a bit of ambience, lots of great synth and synth-sounds, some acoustic instrumentation such as piano and violin, just a great mix.
The background materials says he is inspired by places all over the world -- Sweden, Hawaii, Africa, Germany, Arabia and the United States (Michigan and the Appalachian Mountains). He likes to turn historical tales into musical sounds.
So jump aboard this train and come along for the ride. This is an absolutely beautiful CD with lots of gentle, yet emotional music on it. This is classic stuff.
The feel of the music Timothy Wenzel can be compared to the time when, by chance saw a huge and beautiful picture, feel the breath of delight, as the depth of fabric, its space, as if luring you, immersing in an artist recreated landscape. Timothy scenery - scenery is calm and bright northern summer, this picturesque meadows and high, the morning mist shrouded mountains, it is the endless plains and cold sea, whose waves on the horizon sinks the setting sun. Okoloklassicheskaya romance and New eydzhevaya contemplation keyboards saundtrekovy orchestral background, emotion progrokovoy electric guitar and, most importantly, a voice calling for the flute, which joins a voice like the north wind, inviting the listener to travel in this fictional world in which not only revived the pastoral space but the most cherished dreams - as well start «A Coalescence of Dreams» disturbing the rhythm of their marching song «Ice Wind», promises that lie ahead, such as the magnificent music stops. Some of them, such as «Road to Hana», recreate the poetic spirit of Celtic ballads, others carried away in the circulation of folk music as «Oasis of Souls». Rich orchestration and electronic ambient textured make its reasons in an exquisite pattern Nordic tunes spun by the flute and keyboards, not knowing failure and causing every time something amazing and soulful, making you again wait for the moment when you stay with this music alone. Perhaps visionary «A Coalescence of Dreams» is one of those albums that is difficult to describe, because the author obviously speaks to us in a different language, understandable to anyone who is willing to open the mind and unleash the imagination. Personally, I passed in the company of these tunes for miles into nowhere, breathed fresh air into the old wood and often wandering in the rain along the bed of black river, with great pleasure discovered the beauty and charm of the desert sky. «Desert Sky» - my personal favorite, does not detract from the merits of all the other tracks on this disc. Very beautiful music, the name of Timothy Wenzel, of course, to remember, a tribute to his talent and waiting for new ones, such as the impressive work.
Carrying the momentum of his well-received debut album, Mountains Take Wing, Timothy Wenzel returns with a fresh set of New Age pieces on A Coalescence of Dreams. While Wenzel's songs course across fairly broad New Age territory, he plays with the lilt of Celtic music throughout the disc, notably in the pleasant flute melodies in "Follow the River" and "Miles from Nowhere." The title track is an engaging blend of choral pads and Wenzel's lyrical piano. This one takes on extra dimension when dulcimer-like tones enter as accompaniment. The long voice of rich string sounds finish the blend. Folksy acoustic guitar opens "The Road to Hana," quickly joined by strings and piano. The cantering pace is catchy. It's a traveling tune that sets the foot tapping but also takes a nice emotive turn–there's something very personal at work here. For me, however, the go-track on this disc is the brilliant "Mountain Rain." Opening with acoustic guitar, piano, and string pads, it moves gracefully along, fluid and calm. Then a shift–everything drops out except for hushed choral pads, underscored with a low string sound. It creates a stunning, spiritual moment that gains its strength from its simplicity. That passes, and the guitar and piano resume, joined by flute. This is a wonderful piece that really showcases Wenzel's multi-instrumental talents. He's not alone here, however; Michael Rud offers up some soaring edge-of-rock guitar licks in the late half of "Ice Wind," and Lenny Lavash contributes drums to that track, along with snappy hand percussion on the closer, "We Walk Together." This track was created in the throes of emotion stemming from Wenzel's learning of his brother's incurable cancer. On his site, Wenzel writes, "At around 2 AM I could not stand any more so I went to my keyboard and poured out my soul, every last drop of it. The keyboard was literally wet with tears by the time I finished. Exhausted, I could do no more. I could not even listen to the song again without crying." It's a fantastic piece, built on piano and sliding in and out of complexity in its arrangement. It has distinct phases, and is a truly affecting piece of music.
A Coalescence of Dreams is a straightforward New Age disc, beautifully played and designed for downtime listening. It may be too light a take for some, but on the whole it's easy to enjoy and lovely at low volumes–but do yourself the favor of giving Wenzel's work a close listen, too. This is a talented composer with a lot to say. New Age fans will want to keep an ear on Timothy Wenzel.
Pianist and synthesist Timothy Wenzel calls his new album A COALESCENCE OF DREAMS. The dictionary defines coalescence as: uniting, growing or coming together, often in a nourishing way. There are many meanings to the album title, but in a broad sense the concept is about bringing diverse elements together with the right catalysts to create something bigger, stronger, more meaningful, whether it is in music, science, personal goals or relationships.
This is high-quality new age music where you will hear the acoustic sounds of piano, violin, guitar, flute and percussion blended with some electronic elements. The tunes are inspired by stories from history and Wenzel's travels (from Hawaii to Europe).
This is calming, blissful, multi-layered and creatively-refreshing music on a classic-sounding, all-instrumental album. This is good stuff. Unite with Timothy Wenzel's music and be nourished (maybe even dream a dream or two together).
Keyboardist Timothy Wenzel is a bit of an alchemist the way he mixes sounds and feelings on his latest album A COALESCENCE OF DREAMS. But beyond his musical work on this wondrous instrumental recording, Wenzel actually is a research chemist who realized his dreams of creating new substances by introducing the right catalysts on the molecular-level to make new forms of plastics for Union Carbide and Dow Chemical. Wow!
The music on this album is soft, gentle and generally relaxing, but the other great attribute it possesses is that it is interesting to listen to -- captivating with its mix of piano, guitar, synth, flute, violin, bass, percussion and strings in various golden combinations. Take a listen and let your dreams cross with his.
Keyboardist and composer, Timothy Wenzel, has been playing piano all his life. Of this album he says: "A Coalescence of Dreams" is not only the title and theme of this album, but it also represents the way I live my life, and the way I see life unfolding." The continuity between songs is so palpable that the album unfolds almost like a single symphony with many "movements" of complementary yet unique parts. My favorite is, "Oasis of Souls" and also the title song. A wonderful offering for his second album. 4 stars.
This is a gorgeous collection of twelve instrumental tracks. As the CD begins with "Ice Wind" the piano dominates, mixed with electronic keyboard, vocal "ooo's", strings, bells, and guitar. It establishes a lovely musical ambiance "Miles from Nowhere" has a gentle pulse with a Celtic-type melody carried by the flute. "Mountain Rain" is evocative. Sections of piano, flute, and guitar give way to a vocal chorale, and then return to the instrumental texture.
Throughout the CD Wenzel has control over his material. The movement from song to song feels like a musical journey. The sequence of melodic ideas, keys, and instrumentation keeps it interesting, but there is always a deliberate hand on the tiller here.
An aspect of the term "coalescence" can be perceived as: "bringing diverse elements together with the right catalysts to create something bigger, stronger, more meaningful." This is particularly appropriate for Timothy Wenzel, who addition to being a talented recording artist is also a research chemist. However, the elements he merges on his new release create pure audio alchemy. While the piano has been a primary instrument throughout his life, synthesizers play a major role in his recordings, with the sounds of violin, cello, flute, harp, guitars, drums, and percussion.
Timothy's new-age instrumental music ranges from lushly layered compositions that have been compared with Yanni, to more light and airy soundscapes with occasional hints of Celtic and world music influence. There is a strong visual aspect to his sound in the mental imagery it evokes. And, it is also present in the stunning music videos that can be seen at his website. Although this was my first exposure to Timothy Wenzel's recordings, it will not be my last, and I will look forward to subsequent releases.
On his second album, keyboardist/composer and molecular research scientist Timothy Wenzel conducts a fusion of musical ideas and themes – partly inspired by sojourns to Hawaii, his native Michigan, and Europe – that coalesce into a pleasant, dream-filled excursion. Wenzel uses his keyboards and synthesizers to generate a variety of sounds, entrancing tones, and lush ethereal textures. In addition to gentle piano, Wenzel's sonic palette includes strings, flutes, chimes, and percussion. The audio mix also includes the taut drums of Lenny Levesh on a couple of tracks and the scorching guitar of Denmark's Michael Rud on one track. While the recordings are complex in their intricately constructed layers, the compositions are at once simple and wide-ranging, evoking a visceral, cinematic feel. This CD offers musical escapades that are both relaxing and exciting. Timothy Wenzel's dreams are good dreams to have.
It is always impressive when an album makes an immediate impression on its first play - and that is what happened with composer/keyboardist Timothy Wenzel's new album A Coalescence Of Dreams. While the album falls into the New Age genre it also has some electronica influences too, plus some very sympathetic guitar playing from Michael Rud throughout. Completely instrumental, A Coalescence Of Dreams is an atmospheric album with a mostly mellow feel throughout. The theme of the album is the dream world we visit when we sleep and what those dreams are. Obviously the music here depicts the dream travelling of Mr Wenzel, and he doesn't seem to suffer too many nightmares when he sleeps. Most of the tracks are medium paced, with a bit of a Celtic lilt. Apart from the previously mentioned guitarist there is a pair of drummers featured individually on a couple of tracks, everything else is performed by Mr Wenzel. The album contains a dozen tracks and their titles are: Ice Wind, Miles From Nowhere, Road To Hana, A Walk In The Summer Woods, Apparition, Oasis Of Souls, The River Niger, Desert Sky, A Coalescence Of Dreams, Mountain Rain, Follow The River, We Walk Together. I think A Coalescence Of Dreams will appeal to many, it has more presence than a lot of New Age albums. The mix of Celtic and electronic instrumentation offers a rich blend of sounds, and it is an album I have returned to several times. Recommended.
When I hear "New Age" recordings, what I'm looking for is music that is immersive, and beautiful with moods and colors that linger and add peaceful sounds to vibe with. "A Coalescence Of Dreams" by Timothy Wenzel more than meets this expectation with the sounds of piano and flute, as aptly demonstrated in the track "Ice Wind". The flute is lyrical and sings over a wash of orchestral strings and rich textures. The drums play a march, but are never over the top, and the percussion and cymbals are minimal and effective. The electric guitar solo is engaging.
One of my favorite pieces was "Miles From Nowhere". The acoustic guitar and piano blend so well with the warm lyrical flute; my hat's off to Tim's production -- it sounds as if he had a studio musician come in to play. "Road To Hana" seduces listeners with a piano and violin duet, and the strum of guitar. It's a light rock feel without bass or drums, but the way Wenzel created the piece makes this song more intimate. The violin has a light harmonic texture layered with it, though I wished the fade out was a bit longer.
"A Walk In The Summer" evokes the casual feel of a summer day with a soft flute theme, and Timothy always has a counter voice in his work. Here, the piano answers the flutes phrases, and the surprise of a bowed string that is thematic and percussive is quite nice, as he builds the layers of this piece.


Authorized by Congress through the Presidential Coin Act of 2005, the gold American Buffalo was first minted in 2006, and more than 300,000 of the coins were produced and sold that year.
Unlike previous American gold coinage, which has traditionally been 22-karat (or .9167 fine), the American Buffalo is unique in that it represents the United States' first large-scale circulation of a .9999 (or four-nines) fine gold coin in the Mint's history.
At this time, the gold American Buffalo is only offered in a one troy ounce size, although according to the U.S. Mint, fractional sizes of one-half, one-quarter and one-tenth ounce sizes are "under consideration."
The gold American Buffalo features a face value of $50 on the reverse side of the coin, is minted at the United States Mint in West Point, New York, but does not feature any mint mark. By law, all of the gold used in the production of the American Buffalo bullion coin must be from newly-mined sources within the United States.
Produced in America...pure "four-nines" fine quality...and its weight, content, and purity guaranteed by the United States Mint, the gold American Buffalo offers investors all the security, liquidity and protection of a world-class gold coin...and it's backed by the U.S. government.
American Eagle gold coins provide investors with the means to diversify, balance and stabilize a well-rounded investment portfolio, with the safety and backing of the United States government. They have become the standard of quality against which all other bullion coins are measured.
Originally minted in 1967 in an effort to help market South African gold to the international market, the Krugerrand stood alone as an accessible investment opportunity for the everyday buyer...it was the first gold coin to contain exactly one troy ounce of gold, and was intended from its inception to provide a way for the private investor to purchase precious metals.
The Krugerrand derives its name from combining the names of Paul Kruger, a well-known Boer leader and local hero who went on to become the last president of the Republic of South Africa, and the "rand" -- the monetary unit of South Africa.
The South African Krugerrand is a 22-karat coin weighing a total 1.0909 ounces (or 33.930 grams). It is comprised of one troy ounce of pure gold and 2.826 grams of a copper alloy which is used to give the coins higher durability and to make them more resistant to scratching, and gives the coins a unique orange-gold hue.
The gold Krugerrand has a diameter of 32.6mm, a thickness of 2.74mm, and has a fineness of .9167, or 22 karats.
Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins are known and respected throughout the world because of the impeccable standards of quality mandated by the Royal Canadian Mint. The Royal Canadian Mint's insistence upon flawless planchets, the pure gold blanks from which gold coins are struck, has led to an enviable reputation among demanding investors and collectors. Its impeccable quality, pleasing design, and fine gold purity (at ninety-nine point nine-nine percent pure gold, or "four-nines" fine) has made the Canadian Maple leaf one of the preferred gold coins of investors around the world. In fact, the one troy ounce gold Canadian Maple Leaf has been in continuous production longer than any other pure gold bullion coin.
A Double Eagle is a gold coin of the United States with a denomination of $20. (Its gold content of 0.9675 troy oz was worth $20 at the then official price of $20.67/oz). The coins are made from a 90% gold (0.900 fine = 21.6 kt) and 10% copper alloy.
Although the "eagle"-based nomenclature for gold U.S. coinage is often assumed to be a nickname, the "eagle," "half-eagle" and "quarter-eagle" were specifically given these names in the Act of Congress that originally authorized them ("An Act establishing a Mint, and regulating Coins of the United States", section 9, April 2, 1792). Likewise, the Double Eagle was specifically created as such by name ("An Act to authorize the Coinage of Gold Dollars and Double Eagles", title and section 1, March 3, 1849).
The first double eagle was minted in 1849, coinciding with the California Gold Rush. In that year, the mint produced two pieces in proof. The first resides in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. The second was presented to then Treasury Secretary William M. Meredith and was later sold as part of his estate - the present location of this coin remains unknown.
In 1850 regular production began and continued until 1933 (when the official price of gold was changed to $35/oz by the Gold Reserve Act). Prior to 1850, eagles with a denomination of $10 were the largest denomination of US coin. $10 eagles were produced beginning in 1795, just two years after the first U.S. mint opened. Since the $20 gold piece had twice the value of the eagle, these coins were designated "double eagles". In 1850, the double eagle had the purchasing power of about $530 in 2010 dollars.
$5 Liberty Gold Coin is an important part of any gold investment portfolio. Congress authorized the U.S. Mint to coin the $5 gold piece, or Half Eagle on April 2, 1792. The Half Eagle was the first gold coin minted by the United States government. Minted 1866 to 1908 the Half Eagle was produced by the millions and almost all were used as currency. It is also the only coin in U.S. history to have been struck at all seven U.S. Mints that were open during its circulation. The $5.00 gold piece had several design changes throughout its history. One of the final designs of the $5 gold coin, the Liberty, or Coronet, design by Christian Golbrecht was minted from 1839 until 1908 when the $5 Indian gold coin was introduced. The obverse features Lady Liberty whose tight bun of hair is adorned with a string of beads. A coronet inscribed with the word LIBERTY rests on top of her head. The date and one star for each of the thirteen original colonies encircle Libertys portrait. The reverse features a proud bald eagle with wings spread, standing among olive branches. The eagle clinches three arrows in his talons, and has a shield featuring stars and stripes upon his chest. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the denomination, and the Mint Mark surround the eagle.

xDai is a chain that allows users to only deal with Dai. On this chain, the tokens remain a 1:1 ratio with the USD, allowing it to stay stable.
xDai tokens are not mintable; they're created by moving Dai over the xDai bridge that connects the Ethereum and xDai chains. Dai changes its name to xDai once it crosses over to the chain. The bridge allows for the user to use their tokens on both chains in their respective currencies.
Dai is the only token that is convertible to xDai; POA tokens and Ether are not compatible. You must own Dai to cross the bridge.
If you follow the "POA - Part 1 - Develop and deploy a smart contract" tutorial, there are minimal steps to change to allow you to deploy to xDai.
Note: xDai is a real network, not a test network! Any contract you deploy costs real xDai/Dai. The following steps show you how to deploy to the xDai network using the steps from the tutorial mentioned.
Right now xDai is not available as a network to select in the Metamask wallet. However, we can add it as a custom RPC end point and it will work just the same.
Under network selection in Metamask, click on "Custom RPC" and add the RPC endpoint listed under the Chain Resources heading. Click save and you're good to go!
We can also use the Nifty wallet which already has the xDai network configured for you. Download the Nifty Wallet extension for your browser.
If you already have a Metamask account, copy your seed phrase and click import existing DEN button. Enter your seed phrase and create a password. Once logged in, select the xDai Chain from the list of networks.
Note: Later in the tutorial you need this seed phrase again to create a mnemonic variable.

Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man. Unlike the previous game focusing on Peter Parker, this particular one follows his young student, Miles Morales. The latter is tasked to do what his teacher has devoted his life to, to protect New York City.
Miles Morales is the first Spider-Man game to launch with a new console, and it was also a success. The combat has been improved with Miles having unique abilities under his sleeves, and the graphics were also enhanced to fit in with the PS5 technology.
(2018 Original Release)
(2020 Remaster)
After 4 years of being on hiatus, Spider-Man came back stronger than ever. Marvel's Spider-Man is a modern take on Spidey's adventures that succeeds at creating a balance between the movies, previous video games, and most importantly the comic itself.
As you would expect from a Sony exclusive, the game performed very well, and earned the title "Best Super Hero Game of All Time". Critics praised the web-swinging mechanics, the combat, and the rich open world as well as the graphics. Thanks to these astounding results, the game would receive yet another successful sequel.
The Amazing Spider-Man is yet another movie-based video game that was released back in 2014. It puts you in the shoes of Peter Parker searching for his Uncle Ben's murderer.
The 3D open-world has been noticeably improved and the graphics as well. However, the game wasn't as well-received as its predecessor. As a result, this was the last Spider-Man game developed by Beenox.
Spider-Man Unlimited (2014)
Platforms: iOS | Android | Windows Phone
Spider-Man: Unlimited is an endless runner video game released on mobile phones. The player controls a version of Spidey who's running the whole time while battling on-screen enemies with a touch on the phone.
The game was later discontinued back in March 2019 after being downloaded over 30 million times.
The Amazing Spider-Man is based on the movie of the same name that was released back in 2012. The story is set a few months after the events of the original movie and it sees Spider-Man confronting supervillains like Scorpion, Rhino, and Lizard.
Surprisingly, the game was well-received with gamers praising the 3D open world and the graphics. But on the one hand, critics pointed at the lack of any challenge which made the game feel like a walk in the park.
Spider-Man: Edge of Time
After Shattered Dimensions' critical success, Beenox attempted to make a sort of sequel to the latter. Edge of Tomorrow is an original story that takes inspiration from several places. It tells the story of two versions of Spider-Man: Spider-Man 2099 and Amazing Spider-Man as they unite to restore a rift in time.
While the game featured unique mechanics and an intriguing storyline, players criticized the repetitive gameplay and design.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Shattered Dimensions follows the story of the Tablet of Order and Chaos. It ends up being shattered after a conflict between Spider-Man and Mysterio. As a result, it causes problems with multiple realities across the Marvel Multiverse. At that moment, Madame Web has no choice but to call upon four versions of Spider-Man and help at restoring the balance.
The game includes four different versions of Spidey: Spider-Man 2099, Noir Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Amazing Spider-Man. Each character is playable throughout the game with their distinct playstyles and abilities.
Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem (2010)
Platforms: iOS | Android
Total Mayhem is an action-adventure video game that was released exclusively on Android and IOS devices. The overall story takes place in the Ultimate Marvel universe and it sees Spider-Man fighting a bunch of supervillains as usual. The story is kind of generic but that is what you'd expect from a budget mobile title.
Unfortunately, Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem is no longer purchasable as it was removed from both the App Store and the PlayStore. To play it, you need to find an apk file somewhere on the internet.
Spider-Man: Toxic City (2009)
Platforms: BlackBerry | Windows Phone
After years of success, it was obvious that Spidey was fated to receive a mobile game one way or another. Unsurprisingly, it happened, but the game remains obscure except for those who already purchased a BlackBerry at the day. Because anyone who owned one has certainly got their hands on Spider-Man: Toxic City. If not, other rip-offs or clones were already available.
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
Shaba Games
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows - Amazing Allies Edition
(2008 Port)
Web of Shadows is one of the best entries in the Spider-Man games. Instead of following the footsteps of the movies, it focuses on telling an original story that takes inspiration specifically from the comic itself.
The gameplay is pretty impressive and the open world is filled with thugs who commit crimes and heists all over New York City. But that's not what Web of Shadows is all about. It all starts when Venom encounters Spider-Man, and when he gets defeated, he vows that he will take his wrath upon Spidey and his beloved city. Spider-Man will encounter familiar figures from the Marvel universe such as Catwoman, X-Men Wolverine, as well as, several villains.
A sequel was planned for Web of Shadows, but due to poor sales, it was ultimately cancelled along with the shutdown of the original developer.
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
The Spider-Man games franchise finally took some rest from its emphasis on making side-scrolling entries, and it headed in a much different direction this time. When it came to the gameplay, the game felt similar to the Marvel Alliance games series.
Additionally, what makes Friend or Foe interesting is that every time Spidey defeats a villain, they become his allies. Hence, it explains the title of the game itself. At the end of that, Friend or Foe is an enjoyable beat-em-up entry in the series despite its now-dated graphics and juvenile story.
Shortly after the initial release of the Spider-Man 3 movie, it would get another tie-in movie-based video game that would release back in 2007. The game mostly followed the plot of the movie while introducing a couple of enhancements in previous games. Such as a vast world to explore, improved combat that introduced the ability to perform combos, and different kinds of powers.
The game was graphically impressive on the PS3 and the Xbox 360, but other platforms such as the PS2 and the Wii suffered from unimpressive visuals that left people dissatisfied at the time.
Spider-Man: Battle for New York
Battle for New York puts you in the shoes of Spidey confronting the renowned green Goblin who seeks to cause havoc on the city of New York.
Similar to previous entries where you can take control of another character, in Battle for New York you can play as either Spiderman or Green Goblin during your playthrough.
Ultimate Spider-Man is one of the best entries in the franchise due to its cel-shaded visuals that lent the game a cartoonish style compared to photo-realistic titles in the past. What's fascinating in Ultimate Spider-Man is how players had the choice to pick between Venom and Spider-Man to roam the streets of Manhattan.
The game has aged very well because of the cartoonish graphics that sets it apart from other entries in the franchise.
Released back in 2002, Spider-Man 2 is the sequel to the game and the movie of the same name. The game was the first entry in the series and the first superhero game to incorporate an open world where players could freely explore New York City.
Instead of being nothing but a tie-in-based movie game, Spider-Man 2 includes side quests, hidden secrets, easter eggs, and roaming the streets of New York City in case one feels bored. Spider-Man 2 was ported to every hardware on the market back then, but every platform was different from the others, especially when it came to handhelds.
Gray Matter Studios
This particular entry is based on the movie of the same name and the Marvel Comics character. Despite emulating most of the events that happened in the movie, the aforementioned adds additional enemy types and story events.
The game was impressive when it came out. Players were capable of swinging the city's rooftops freely without any restrictions. Additionally, the game included both indoor and outdoor levels which were not present in past entries.
Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace
After appearing multiple times on the Game Boy and the Game Boy Color, it was time for Spidey to make an appearance on the GBA as well. And as you would expect, it is yet another side-scrolling beat 'em up. Fortunately, this entry came packed with extra levels compared to its predecessors.
Mysterio's Menace is different from other side-scrolling entries in the franchise as it introduced the ability to upgrade your weapon and your suit. New gameplay mechanics were also included such as being able to replenish your health. Mysterio's Menace was well received with critics praising its enjoyable gameplay and fluid animations on the GBA handheld.
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
Another sequel to Spider-Man but this time, it's a direct one to 2000s Spider-Man on the original PlayStation. The story continues from where the original game left off, and it sees Spider-Man attempting to stop Electro from using the Bio-Nexus Device. Our web-swinging hero's adventure isn't going to be easy, other supervillains will stand in his way. Including, Sandman, Lizard, Shocker, and Hammerhead.
Luckily, he's not alone this time. Several members from X-Men will occasionally show up to lend him some help. Interestingly, the original release of this entry included a final battle on top of NYC's twin towers. However, after the 9/11 tragedy, copies of the game were not allowed to be sold. Hence, the developers were forced to change that section completely.
Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six
To avoid all confusion, The Sinister Six is the direct sequel to the Game Boy Color version of 2000s Spider-Man. Unlike previous entries in the series where Spidey has to rescue his love, Mary Jane, this time he has to save his Aunt May from the clutches of Dr. Octopus.
The gameplay is pretty similar to previous Game Boy titles, but this time, Spidey has the ability to climb buildings. Not only that but also, the controls were improved and so were the graphics and sound effects.
Spider-Man™
After spending four years on a hiatus from video games, Spider-Man would make a strong comeback in the 2000s. Thanks to the advanced technology, Spider-Man took advantage of that to deliver a whole new experience.
Players were able to explore the 3D surrounding by swinging and crawling using Spidey's abilities. The game was praised for its impressive graphics back then, the soundtrack, and the engaging gameplay. Even Spider-Man creator, Stan Lee was amazed by what he saw
Spider-Man: The Sinister Six (1996)
Developer: Brooklyn Multimedia
Publisher: BMM GmbH
Platforms: MS-Dos
Spider-Man: The Sinister Six is a pretty obscure entry that is not often mentioned these days. It could be because of two reasons: The game was released exclusively on MS-DOS, and published only in NA as well as Germany.
Several underrated characters from the Marvel Universe made a cameo appearance in this entry. Including, Daredevil, Wasp, and Chameleon. When it came to the gameplay, the game featured several levels where Spidey had to either crawl or web-swing. In addition, players get to control both Peter Parker and Spidey. Peter Parker is controlled mainly to converse with people and solving puzzles.
The Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire
1996 TBC
BlueSky Software
Web of Fire is the only entry in the series to ever set foot in the 32X system. It's yet another side-scrolling platformer similar to what came before it.
A terrorist organization known as the H.Y.D.R.A and the New Enforcers are plotting to bury New York City under an electrical plasma grid and trap its citizens. It's up to Spidey to confront both these organizations and thwart their plans.
February, 1995 TBC
Western Technologies, Inc.
LJN
Spider-Man: The Animated Series is pretty similar to The Adventures of Batman & Robin on the SNES. Both are based on their respectable animated series of the same name.
Meanwhile, the story follows Spider-Man in his mission to stop Alistair Smythe, Dr. Octopus, Alien Spider-Slayer, and The Green Goblin from causing havoc in the city of New York. The game is pretty long when compared to previous entries as it features over twenty bosses to tackle throughout the playthrough.
Venom® · Spider-Man® Separation Anxiety™
Software Creations
Acclaim Entertainment
Co-Op, Single Player
Separation Anxiety is the sequel to Maximum Carnage and it's based on the Venom storyline in the Spider-Man comics back then.
The gameplay is pretty much similar to Maximum Carnage. Spidey and Venom have to team up in order to defeat the maniac Carnage once again. Luckily, other characters make cameo assistance like Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, and Daredevil.
Unfortunately, the game wasn't as well-received as its predecessor. Critics pointed at the repetitive gameplay, the lack of cutscenes, and the confusing story.
The Amazing Spider-Man: Lethal Foes
Lethal Foes is the only title in the franchise to be released exclusively in Japan. The aforementioned is often praised for being the first Spider-Man to include the ability to swing controlling Spidey.
The story is based on the 1993 limited series The Lethal Foes of Spider-Man. It sees players controlling Spider-Man and swinging around to reach several destinations before the time limit. Within that time limit, players have to defeat various bosses in order to progress.
If you want to give this game a try anytime soon, there's a fan English Patch that will allow you to play the game from start to finish.
Spider-Man® Venom™ Maximum Carnage™
Maximum Carnage is yet another side-scrolling beat 'em up in the franchise released for the SNES and Mega Drive. Similar to its predecessors, the game comes packed with known figures from the Marvel universe such as Venom, Captain America, Black Cat, Carnage, and Iron Fist.
The gameplay is pretty similar to many beat'em ups such as Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Street of Rage. Players are able to switch between Spidey and Venom as they beat the crap out of on-screen foes. Maximum Carnage is an enjoyable video game that is fondly remembered to this age.
The Amazing Spider-Man 3: Invasion of the Spider-Slayers
July, 1993 TBC
Bits Studios
The final entry in the Game Boy trilogy. It was released pretty much at the same time Spider-Slayer comic book.
Despite the game being considered to have the best story in the trilogy, reviewers and fans pointed at the horrible visuals. Not only that but also, the developers didn't solve the issue with the save-in game. Unfortunately, due to its issues, many tend to forget this entry exists.
Spider-Man X-Men: Arcade's Revenge
November, 1992 TBC
Delving further into side-scrolling video games, the SNES would receive one as well. The game kicks off with Spider-Man swinging around the city until he notices the disappearance of Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit, and Storm. As you progress further into the game, you get the chance to play as four kidnapped X-Men.
When it came to reviews, the scores for this particular entry ranged from average to mediocre. Many praised the impressive graphics and the soundtracks but hated the awkward controls.
Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six
October, 1992 TBC
Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six is the first game to hit the NES back in 1992. The story and the gameplay were pretty identical to previous side-scrolling entries. However, the game was released during the last days of NES's lifespan.
As a result, the game didn't get much attention, hence explaining the low sales figures. Those who played it were pretty upset with the controls, the generic graphics, and once again, the hellish difficulty that left players feeling underwhelmed.
August, 1992 TBC
The direct sequel to the original release on the Gameboy. The gameplay is pretty much identical to the previous game as you would expect.
You take the role of Spidey who is once again framed for a crime he did not commit. To clear his name, he has to find the responsible for that mess. Spidey must go through several levels filled with known bosses that will try their utmost effort to thwart Spider-Man's efforts to clear his name.
Unfortunately, the sequel wasn't as well-received as its predecessor due to a bunch of issues. Including the lack of in-game saves, the controls, and the brutal difficulty.
Spider-Man: The Video Game (1991)
Developer: Sega
Platforms: Arcade (Sega Master System 32)
The success of Spider-Man games on Sega has resulted in the release of an Arcade title specifically on the Sega Master System 32.
The story is pretty much based on Marvel Comics, and it follows Spider-Man and his allies fighting a myriad of enemies to retrieve a mystical artefact from the Kingpin and Doctor Doom. What's good about the Arcade release is that players are able to choose between 4 different heroes, but each of them leads to the same ending anyway.
Spider-Man: The Video Game was a critical and commercial success. Many praised the incredible graphics, the effects, the soundtracks, and the engaging gameplay. To this day, people still remember it wholeheartedly.
Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin
Technopop, Inc.
(-0001 Port)
The Amazing Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin
(-0001 Content Update)
Diving deep into Spider-Man games, this particular entry is yet another side-scrolling action game that saw Peter Parker trying to rescue Mary Jane from the clutches of Venom. Not only that but also, Spidey has to clear his name after being framed by the Kingpin for stealing a nuclear bomb.
In Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin, you're in a race against time. Spidey must find keys that can deactivate the bomb within a time limit of 24 hours. After the success of this particular, it was ported to several Sega platforms at the time. And since the game sold well, Marvel was happy to renew its licensing deal with Sega.
The Amazing Spider-Man on the original Game Boy is a port of the original Amiga game, but with some slight changes. The story is pretty identical to the Amiga game where Parker has to rescue his wife.
However, this time Parker isn't battling Mysterio. Instead, he would take on a bunch of villains such as Venom, Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, and plenty more towards the end. The Amazing Spider-Man received very well, and it would go on to receive two sequels for the Game Boy.
The Amazing Spider-Man (1990)
Developer: Oxford Digital Enterprises
Publisher: Paragon Software
Platforms: Amiga | MS-DOS | Commodore 64 | Atari ST
Not to be confused with 2012's Spiderman, this next entry in the series is a 2D side-scrolling platformer published by the now-defunct Paragon Software. The latter developed a handful of titles such as Space: 1889, X-Men II: The Fall of the Mutants, and The Punisher.
Spider-Man's goal this time is to rescue his beloved Mary Jane from the hands of the wicked Mysterio. Spider-Man's journey isn't going to be easy. He must solve several puzzles and go through various levels to save Mary Jane.
The Amazing Spider-Man and Captain America in Dr. Doom's Revenge (1989)
Developer: Paragon Software
Publisher: Empire Software & Medalist International (UK) | Paragon Software Corporation (US)
Platforms: Amiga | Amstrad CPC | Atari ST | Commodore 64 | DOS | ZX Spectrum
The next entry in the Spider-Man series of games would be a side-scrolling action game released in 1989 for systems such as Commodore64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, and Atari ST. This particular entry in the series was one of the earliest titles to include switching between two heroes at the end of each battle: Spider-Man and Captain America.
Additionally, it featured a myriad of supervillains. Some of them are known figures while others are relatively minor characters in the Marvel universe. For example, Grey Gargoyle, Machete, Oddball, Electro, Rhino, Batroc the Leaper, and Doctor Doom.
It's worth noting that despite the many known figures the game has, the story isn't as provocative as the source material.
Questprobe: Spider-Man (1984)
Developer: Adventure International
Publisher: Adventure International
Platforms: Apple II | Atari 8-bit | Commodore 64 | DOS | Acorn Electrum | ZX Spectrum | MSX
Questprobe is a trilogy of graphical adventure video game series featuring known marvel heroes such as the Hulk, and the Fantastic Four as well as our Spider-Man. Developed and published by Adventure International back in 1984, the game puts you in the shoes of Spidey as he goes through a series of story-based events using text commands.
Adventure International had plans to make Questprobe a twelve-part series, but unfortunately, after releasing the original trilogy, the publisher went bankrupt. The closure of Adventure International resulted in future projects being cancelled including the already coded X-Men game.
Parker Brothers
The first-ever Spider-Man videogame was released almost 40 years ago, in the distant 1982 for the Atari 2600 and the Magnavox Systems. This entry in the series is considered one of the first superhero games in history where gamers were capable of controlling our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man for the first time.
Looking back, the objective of the game was to climb buildings while blasting your enemies with webs. The game also included diffusing bombs while avoiding getting hit by your foes.
Despite the game being old compared to today's standards, it was actually pretty impressive due to its outstanding visuals at the time.
Just your average gamer who enjoys hunting hidden gems and underrated games - but is still open to any game in the industry if you ask him. His love for Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams is like a truck and whenever he meets a new friend, he can't help himself but recommend it to him.

On August 15th, we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. The Church teaches that her body as well as her soul was assumed into Heaven. According to tradition, the apostles discovered her missing body only a few days after she was entombed. One of the apostles was late in arriving, so the others opened her tomb for him to see her, but her body was no longer there.
The Assumption of the Blessed Mother reminds us that we are not meant for this world, that God's Plan is for us to remain only for a time on this planet. Our final and eternal destination is Heaven.
While we go about the usual day-to-day homeschooling, fixing meals, and planning daily events, we need to keep within us an awareness of the Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother. We need to be constantly aware of our responsibility to adore Him continually in everything we say and do and think and work and pray.
Read more via The Mystery of the Assumption – Seton Home Study School.
Of course today is also a holy day of obligation and so we are all bound to attend Mass at some time throughout the day.
Mary assumed into Heaven, pray for us!
