![]() "We had a hunch that the fog was changing, but we didn't really know how," said Todd Dawson, a plant ecology professor at U.C. But with his paintings of changing fog at the Golden Gate, Marcelo might actually be documenting yet another casualty of climate change. But this is happening here in the United States as well."Īs he put the last brushstrokes on his second painting of the day, the Golden Gate Bridge wrapped in cool gray fog seemed a world away from the scenes of rubble and destruction he sometimes paints. "You know, we think of climate refugees in places like Africa. "Many of these places are totally uninhabitable now," he said. John Paul Marcelo painted this burned-out truck as part of a series of documentary paintings chronicling the destruction wrought by the Wine Country wildfires in 2017. "I wasn't thinking I was going to paint the bridge today, but I did see this, so I thought that was kind of remarkable to paint, that moment." "There was this line right here," he said. On a chilly spring morning at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, a thin line of pure white fog stretched its way under the bridge deck and out toward Alcatraz.Īs the waves crashed up onto the pavement at high tide, a man in a paint-spattered hoodie and a warm hat delicately traced the path of the fog with a brush, making a tiny oil painting of the fleeting image on a wooden board. Fog in the Bay Area contains a lot of water, and research is now underway to determine how that water could best be used to ease the worsening droughts in coastal California.The fog gives San Francisco its gray summers and chilly evenings, but also brings in the cool ocean air that keeps temperatures mild all over the Bay Area.Scientists studying San Francisco's iconic fog noted a steady decline in the number of foggy days over a 60-year period starting in 1951. ![]()

![]() Being in direct control of a unit has a purpose as you’re setting up repair bubbles for your forces as well as decoys for the enemies to attack so that your units don’t take damage, and this is what makes Anomaly 2 that much more unique and interesting to play. Players move around the map as the actual Commander while their forces move along the set roads that must pass under enemy fire. While destroying the towers between the start and the goal is fun and sometimes necessary, it is generally not the main purpose in this survival situation. The core concept of Anomaly 2 is to reach the goal at the end of the road with as many units as possible. As with the previous game at times players are able to choose between a couple of different paths through the levels, but none of these roads are easy because of how limited your forces are compared to your opponent’s. Most of the time it looks like an endless line of enemy forces are standing between the convoy and its goal. ![]() This story outline fits itself into the gameplay perfectly as every level feels like a last ditch effort, where the humans struggle with minimal supplies in a desperate struggle for survival. Players are put into the tactical leader’s seat as the commander of the convoy Yukon, and must lead their forces across frozen tundras to find food and supplies. ![]() It’s a similar formula to what 11 bit studios has done in the past, and that’s not a bad thing at all.Īnyone familiar with the tower defence genre should find the reverse formula a comfortable adjustment. Anomaly 2 is the third tower offence game from 11 bit studios, and it puts players to the test by providing them with very limited resources and requires lots of forward thinking if they are to drive back the aliens that have invaded and already decimated most of the Earth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not unless she just really gets on your nerves, anyway. Not a horrible place by any stretch of the imagination, it wasn’t one that we’d recommend keeping Aunt Judy in after her episode with the eternal moth infestation in the couch fabric. For those who’ve taken the time to watch Kate Walker struggle with a big red button and be strapped to a chair in a mental institution already, I was to put her through that ordeal once more.Ī brief cinematic is all that separated me from controlling Kate Walker - our long-serving former New York attorney - through her short stay on the ward. Thank you, Lena, for detail interview!! Very interesting idea, a beautiful clothers with great attention to detail of the suit.Following a strict hands-off demonstration of one of Kate Walker’s later adventures in the story now set to release in late April, I was given a good 45-60 minute hands-on session with the beginning of the game. I think new ideas and projects will be added after the output of game. Three locations were selected for photoshoots and video shoots. You would like again to participate in cosplay Kate Walker or other characters of Syberia? If yes, than in what form? Maybe in locations from Syberia? If you re-make Kate’s jacket, so there will be new cosplay Kate? And, of course, I want to note that you could acquainted with demo of Syberia 3 on the BUKA booth this year, what I’m really pleased. The atmosphere was brighter and more cheerful this year. Visitors can also try out new games and VR-projects that were really interesting, what was missing in previous years. In my opinion, this was the best IgroMir over the past 3 years. Kate Walker is one of my favorite characters of games. How liked for you cosplay of the character Kate Walker? What were your impressions from “Igromir-2016″? So now I am engaged in tailoring a new jacket to make it as similar as in the game. I see all the details of the costume now. What’s wrong with the jacket? Too much fur trim or the color is lighter, than that of Kate?Īs I said, the costume was initiated before the clear character images from all angles were posted. Previously you said, that you wanted to remake the jacket. But I would recommend Kate to put on a cap on such a cold. I went into her costume on the street to IgroMir, it was very hot. ![]() Yes, I think that Kate was warm in such clothes. And as is often the case with cosplayers I finished the costume of Katу the day before IgroMir.ĭo you think, if Kate Walker was able to stay warm in a similar clothes in Siberia? I studied fashion design, and I was sewing a collection of clothes for travel for the diploma. But I had to take time off from cosplay for university diploma. It is decorated with hand embroidered patterns. Kate stands sideways on the poster of the game, so only after the appearance of screenshots of the gameplay I saw the new details of the costume. I also installed the application “Meet Kate Walker” to see the details of her costume. I started to make Kate’s costume when the network appeared the first image of the new Kate’s model. At the same time I decided to cosplay the main character of the game, Kate Walker. I have decided to re-pass the game from the beginning eighteen months ago. I still have goose bumps from the music of this game. Even I couldn’t go out from the main menu for a long time, I was listening music and watching as mechanical frozen horse was running. Syberia immediately won me over with its atmosphere so familiar and close to man from Russia. But it was just Syberia II and I’m couldn’t find the first part of game for a long time. My classmate gave me the disc with a game. I discovered it when I was 9-10 years old. Tell us, why decided to cosplay at Kate? This is your favorite game? You are played Syberia I, II? Maybe you have interest in the game, because soon release Syberia 3? A cosplays of Kate Walker were from the first, the second part of the game. The cosplay of Kate with a hint on Syberia 3 still no one did. Lena, the cosplay on Kate Walker, which you created, is very beautiful. In Russian language you can read interview here. Queste.Link was able to interview the author of the cosplay and to find out how it is – to be in the role of Kate Walker. More precisely, it is the cosplay, which created by fan of the game “Syberia” is Lena Kondrashina ( VK | Facebook). Kate Walker has participated on the exhibition “IgroMir-2016″ in Moscow, Russia (from September, 29 to October, 2, 2016). ![]() ![]() Some of the independent watchmakers covered in Clerizo's book, including George Daniels, Sven Andersen and Franck Muller. Clerizo focuses on the human element, the stories these watchmakers have to tell and their colourful personalities, all illustrated with hundreds of photos enabling us to literally delve into the workshops and the watches of these masters." The book is beautifully written and reads like a novel. ![]() ![]() "That is why this excellent book by Michael Clerizo, published in 2009 is such a gem. However, just ten years ago, these artisans were only known to a small circle of cognoscenti and with little information on them other than on online forums." “Today, as we are closing the 2nd decade of the millennium, independent watchmaking is gathering a well-deserved traction from collectors and mainstream media alike. If you know Ghotbi as a collector of all things independent and unusual, his choice certainly won't come as a surprise. You can add a copy of Ultimate Rolex Daytona to you library here.Īlex Ghotbi – Masters of Contemporary WatchmakingĪ long standing collector of independent watchmakers and a dedicated enthusiast of vintage Vacheron Constantin, Ghotbi was involved in founding many of the earliest online watch forums, when the watch community took its first steps online. Having turned his collecting into a profession, he now acts as the Head of Watches for Continental Europe and the Middle East at Phillips, helping to put together their sales throughout the world. It has taught and reminds me to be flamboyant but also thoughtful of every microscopic detail of what we do in our business.” “I use the book to remind myself of the Daytona and all the variations that exist that make this model so iconic and yet so collectible but it serves as a work of art too, that inspires my creative side. The illustrations are laid out in such a thoughtful and wonderful way and even the text on every page is the same length in every single entry. The larger book, not only gives daily inspiration and serves as a piece of art at home, changing the page to see yet another beautiful Daytona when leaving my apartment, the mini book sits on my desk and is referenced daily."ĭetails from the larger version of Ultimate Rolex Daytona. “The Ultimate Rolex Daytona has kind of become a bible for me in recent years. It is no wonder, then, that his go-to book is the reference point for one of the most sought-after vintage models of the last few decades, the Rolex Daytona. In that time, he's discovered, handled and sold some of the most interesting pieces that have come up in the open market.

With this in mind, we asked a carefully selected group of people - from master watchmakers, to auctioneers and veterans of the industry - what their favourite horological books are. This got us wondering, what have others been reading during this period?Ī bookshelf dedicated to Cartier, owned by Harry Fane.
