![]() ![]() Most of the time, these classes will be sufficient for handling common requirements. All of these classes are immutable and thread-safe. All the major base classes are part of this package, such as LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime, Instant, Period, Duration, etc. java.time: This is the base package of the new Java Date Time API.Java 8 Date Time API consists of following packages. ![]() Utility operations: All the new Date-Time API classes come with methods to perform common tasks, such as plus, minus, format, parsing, getting the separate part in date/time, etc.Įxtendable: The new Date Time API works on the ISO-8601 calendar system but we can use it with other non-ISO calendars as well. Once you have used the methods in one of the classes, working with other classes won’t be hard. There are format() and parse() methods defined in all these classes rather than having a separate class for them.Īll the classes use Factory Pattern and Strategy Pattern for better handling. For example, to get the current instance we have now() method. It defines separate classes for Date, Time, DateTime, Timestamp, Timezone, etc.Ĭlarity: The methods are clearly defined and perform the same action in all the classes. Separation of Concerns: The new API separates clearly between human-readable date time and machine time (Unix timestamp). Immutability: All the classes in the new Date-Time API are immutable and good for multithreaded environments. Some of the design principles of new Date Time API are: It is designed to overcome all the flaws in the legacy date time implementations. Java 8 Date Time API is JSR-310 implementation. That’s why Joda Time played a key role as a quality replacement for Java Date Time requirements. There are some other issues with the methods defined in Date and Calendar classes but above problems make it clear that a robust Date Time API was needed in Java. So and classes were introduced, but they also have all the problems listed above. Date class doesn’t provide internationalization, there is no timezone support.It’s one of the biggest problems with Java Date and Calendar classes. All the Date classes are mutable, so they are not thread-safe.Usually, the SimpleDateFormat class is used for parsing and formatting. We have abstract class for parsing and formatting need. There are no clearly defined classes for time, timestamp, formatting, and parsing.Also, both the classes have the same name, which is a very bad design itself. Having this in java.sql package doesn’t make any sense. contains both date and time values whereas contains only date value.Again formatting and parsing classes are defined in java.text package. Java Date Time classes are not defined consistently, we have Date Class in both java.util as well as java.sql packages.There have been several problems with the existing date and time related classes in java, some of them are: Why do we need new Java Date Time API?īefore we start looking at the Java 8 Date Time API, let’s see why do we need a new API for this. Java was missing a consistent approach for Date and Time from start and Java 8 Date Time API is a welcome addition to the core Java APIs. ![]() Date Time API is one of the biggest features of Java 8 release.

It is crammed full of authentic features and easter eggs that I’m excited for builders to discover as they put this model together.” ![]() This is the largest and most detailed version of this car that we have ever created. LEGO designer Michael Psiaki noted how this version of the Ectomobile has been the most detailed yet, “I love creating LEGO vehicles, and having previously designed the LEGO James Bond Aston Martin DB5, I loved the challenge of working on the ECTO-1. LEGO has introduced two new LEGO brick elements with this set as well: a 6×14 curved windshield and a new five-module steering wheel.įinishing off the vehicle’s design is a tiny Ghostbusters logo emblazoned on the passenger and driver door. The car comes with a moving ghost sniffer, a working steering wheel, an extendable rear gunner seat and a plethora of other paranormal detection equipment on the roof rack. Most of the ECTO-1™ is decorated in red and white, complemented by tiny blue and yellow accents. Having the citizens interact with you as both an overseer of the town and also some kind of God really puts things into perspective, but I never wanted to crush them, only help them. What the hell, Buddy, I can’t do everything at once. Then he had the nerve to ask me to build him a brick road leading to his mansion. I honestly though Buddy Prince would be better as a dog groomer than a dancer, and, wouldn’t you know it, I was right. Kairosoft does this fantastic job of making you invested in your little people, and it’s only gotten stronger and better as they continued to make titles. This isn’t like some old school board game: you apply to become a new job, and there’s a chance they won’t get it, which is displayed in a crushing animation of depression. After a certain number of months, you can add more buildings, and you can, potentially, make residents change their jobs if they’re willing to take the risk. If you want citizens to educate themselves and drive up the value of the land around them, you not only need to provide the tools, but actively make sure they’re using them by making them appealing and removing distractions.Īs the town expands and more people come flocking in, the Kairosoft detail really goes into effect and you begin to see the magic of Venture Towns. After five in-game years of building my city, there were still fewer than fifteen people living there, and not all of them were on the ball with helping to make the city great. That’s a big caveat of Venture Towns in comparison to other city simulations: the scale means you’re really dependent on those who live there. There can be libraries, parks, all manner of great, inspiring things, but some people will choose to flock to the casino if you’re foolish enough to build one. You can have a ton of different businesses that will provide jobs and employment, but their inherent nature (which you cannot control) will, initially, bring them to one place as opposed to another. For example, you can build up a thousand Chinese restaurants, but your patrons will decide which ones become successful and which ones fail. This game allows you to have SOME direct impact on your residents, but most of it is tangential. You have a theoretical 20 years to accomplish your goal of hitting a particular size and value, though you can continue to play after you hit this milestone to really see how far you can go. You get dropped into a grid map, you’ve got a couple of inhabitants, and now you’ve got to build and expand your humble burb into something sprawling and terrifying. Venture Towns takes a very recognizable route, especially if you’ve played any of Kairosoft’s other games. ![]() Thus, we begin the journey of Venture Towns, the cutest Sim City variant that you could imagine. As much as I love what they do, the core of it is simulation games: they simply need to help capture the idea of some kind of job (game developer, soccer manager, bakery owner) and put their own adorable twist on it. Kairosoft is such a fantastic company that constantly churns out similar ideas over and over again with small twists. ![]() Is there anything better than being able to bilk folks out of their hard earned cash through legal extortion, blatant exploitation and otherwise unsavory business practices? Why, yes, there is: doing it in an adorable game, so that way no one really gets hurt and you can be completely insane without worrying about the government trying to jam you up. ![]() The accident did not damage the bridge, but caused the ship to leak oil and several beaches were closed. ![]() While the name was approved by the City Council, Oakland's City Council refused the idea.Ī cheaper alternative to getting across the bay is to take BART. WHEREAS, we issued our decree ordering the citizens of San Francisco and Oakland to appropriate funds for the survey of a suspension bridge from Oakland Point via Goat Island also for a tunnel and to ascertain which is the best project and whereas the said citizens have hitherto neglected to notice our said decree and whereas we are determined our authority shall be fully respected now, therefore, we do hereby command the arrest by the army of both the Boards of City Fathers if they persist in neglecting our decrees.

The new eastern span offers wider lanes and several other features that will make it safer than the previous bridge. Wikipedia has a ridiculous amount of information on its construction.Ī section of the old bridge collapsed in the Loma Prieta Earthquake but the new eastern span opened on. The Bay Bridge is therefore actually a series of two bridges. The Bay Bridge is a part of Highway 80, which travels across a suspension bridge to Yerba Buena Island, through a tunnel on the island, and then across another suspension span to Oakland. It costs $4-6 for cars (2-axle vehicles) travel westbound, and it is free drive eastbound. This double-decker bridge affords some of the best views of the City as you approach SF, but the view isn't nearly as good on the eastbound lower deck.

The dour mood resumes with John Bennet’s “Weep O Mine Eyes” and Jacobus Clemens non Papa’s “Ego flos campi” (I am the flower of the field) - and Pärt’s Fratres puts a mournful ecclesiastical seal on the set. It’s a terrific piece with or without the colorful tale behind it, yet this string quartet transcription isn’t nearly as moving as the original scoring for nine-part choir - especially if the latter is heard in its home environment, the Sistine Chapel. Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere’s fame stems not so much for the piece itself as for the story that the 14-year-old Mozart wrote it down from memory after hearing a performance at the Vatican, even though it was forbidden to transcribe it. ![]() It’s basically the pinnacle of beautiful, entertaining, and emotional Metroidvanias. Well anyway, you all know why Hollow Knight is on this list. … I probably shouldn’t phrase it like that. But know what, I saw it coming, that you saw this coming. Every list of games like Ori and the Blind Forest or Will of the Wisps also lists Hollow Knight. Just don’t blame me if you instantly fall in love with X’tabay. For my money, the original is still the one to go for though, and I’d pick up the Super Turbo Championship edition if you haven’t already. Not to mention, Guacamelee also got a kickass sequel that nearly completely recaptured the magic of the original, and raised the bar in a few ways too. It all gives the game this wonderful energy that seems to make everything twice as engaging. The Lucha’s, the folklore, the day of the dead. It’s like one massive celebration of Mexican culture. The wrestling type of fighting style not often seen in games like this actually works really well, and genuinely makes you feel like a macho wrestling champion, covered in enough baby oil to drown an actual baby. Really, this is just a game that ticks all the boxes and provides everything a good Metroidvania should provide.Ī soundtrack that sounds like it was forged by a Mexican god of rhythm and Lucha? Si.Įverything Guacamelee tries to do, it does well.

It took D-Pad 9 years to make this game, and you can see every single second of work on display. This is a Metroidvania from 2016 that absolutely blew me away the first time I played it, which is actually appropriate for a game about flying. It’s wonderful, it’s heartwarming, and it’s one of the most underappreciated games of all time.

They made training (again, specialized towards shock assaults) and equipment (Roman Legionaries tended to be much more heavily equipped than most of their contemporaries. The Romans just brute-forced their way through battles using swords, but the main reason they were able to do so well with their swords is because they were supported by equal numbers of other units equipped with more "standard" weapons. In fact, most sources throughout history say it is the opposite: spears tend to outperform swords in the battleline, and there are several sources throughout history that say just that. That is why in "real life" the sword-armed Legionaries tended to kick ass, not because a sword is so much more effective in pitched battle than a spear. This is something that seemingly-most representations of Roman warfare get incorrect: the Legions were specialists, not generalists, and what they specialized at were heavy shock-based assaults. In battle, the Auxilia would be deployed on the flanks and in the front of the Legion, and be used to pin the enemy in place and wear them down before the heavily-armored fist of the Legionaries came punching through their lines. Spearmen (overwhelmingly so, actually), archers, skirmishers, light and heavy and missile cavalry, pretty much all of Romes soldiers that werent in the "heavy shock infantry" role were made of auxilia. Up to 3/5ths of Romes forces were not Legionaries, but Auxilia, and basically every Legion would generally be accompanied by an equal or greater number of Auxilia units. It is important to note that the Roman legions were able to function as sword-armed heavy infantry (which is usually associated with shock tactics) precisely because almost every other aspect of battle was covered by noncitizen auxilia. This way, if you charge a hoplite phalanx head on with sword infantry, you should expect poor results. Spear unit formations like shieldwall and phalanx should provide a substantial bonus against infantry. Even the most elite cavalry in the game will lose to standard spearmen, so you don’t need Royal Spartans to do that job. They lose to swords of the same level and are overkill in anti-cavalry (not to mention too slow). There’s simply no good reason to invest in high level expensive spear units. High level spear units and the factions (southern Greeks) that rely on them are underpowered. It’s unrealistic and immersion breaking to see Principe carving their way through the front of a hoplite (NOT Sarissae) phalanx. The Romans found it difficult to fight in phalanx formation when advancing over the rough terrain of the hilly country of Samnium. In fact, this is the main reason why the Romans adopted swords over spears following the Samnite Wars. They either have to be flanked, or made to lose cohesion when advancing across rough terrain. Whether it’s a pike or spear phalanx, there are very few examples in history where one is broken from the front. The benefit of the spear, besides costing less and requiring less training to use, is that it’s more effective when fighting in tight formations like a phalanx. In this, the Romans (at least between about 300 BC and 300 AD) were the exception because they favored the stabbing sword (gladius). It’s uncontroversial to say that the vast majority of all heavy infantry armies relied on the spear rather than the sword as a primary weapon. You can try this with Principe and Hoplites (the standard generic kind) and see the results yourself. In most cases, the sword infantry will still win. Put the hoplite in phalanx and hit it from the FRONT with the sword infantry. Take a hoplite unit and a sword/shield unit of the same quality/cost level.

Inside, bold bright colors … including orange!” “And how she celebrated herself in bright colors? That influenced our palette. This is where people can stop, engage, mingle … “What we did was take the front of the building and pull it away from the street - just a bit - to create a covered porch. ![]() With her name, the word ‘connect’ always came up. “But talking to people who did, her values inspired us. “We didn’t know Carla,” says Craig Bouck, CEO of Barker Rinker Seacat (BRS), the Denver architecture firm that designed the new center. She’d finished her first term and was running unopposed for her second when Madison succumbed to the cancer she’d been battling and died at age 54. ![]() But her greatest work of art was her life, where she shaped each day with such joyful sincerity, cynicism faded in her presence. Madison - who worked as a mapmaker and physical therapist before entering politics - considered herself an artist. “If I was having a bad day,” said Hickenlooper, “I would seek Carla out for the tonic of her company.” Madison stood out in this way, too: I could not find one word spoken against her - a rare phenomenon in politics.Įven before her death brought out the accolades, politicians of all persuasions praised Madison’s kindness and generosity. He added, “There is and never was anyone like her.” Her approach to policy, said Governor John Hickenlooper, was “thoughtful and pragmatic.” “Once she wore c at ears to a meeting!”īut representing her district was no joke to Madison, who worked 16-hour days and cared deeply about health care, historic preservation and zoning. “We all looked forward to seeing what she would have on,” said a colleague, recalling Madison’s outrageous headgear. Nor - beaming at all and sundry as she dashed about town on her orange scooter - did she act like one. With her bright orange hair and costume-like outfits, Madison didn’t look like a politician. How Carla Madison - City Council representative for District 8 from 2007 until her death in 2011 - would have loved it! Soon, roughly 30,000 monthly visitors will enjoy this state-of-the-art haven in Denver’s urban core. Multi-leveled and multi-colored, the 62,000 square-foot building features: two swimming pools (leisure and lap) a rooftop deck a gymnasium with full-size basketball court cardio-weight and exercise rooms a child watch area classrooms and gathering spaces - as well as an outdoor plaza complete with picnic and ping pong tables, a bouldering wall, bike station and slackline area. Like its namesake, the center intends for a wide variety of citizens to have the very best. Parikh said construction on the center will be completed this fall.The Carla Madison Recreation Center, under construction for two years at the corner of Josephine and East Colfax, will officially open mid-December. Among its indoor facilities are two swimming pools, a fitness area, classrooms and a multicourt gym. Denver Parks and Recreation purchased the 2.56 acres in 2009 for $6 million. The Carla Madison Recreation Center, named after the woman who served as council representative for District 8 from 2007 until her death in 2011, is a 69,000-square-foot recreation center at 1530 Josephine St. Parikh said the climbing wall is fully funded, the climbing boulder is close to being funded and the other amenities - including the slackline park - still need funding. “This recreation center is going to promote the outdoor opportunities that are there, and make the outdoors and the indoors work together,” Parikh said. Other plans for the outdoor plaza include setting up poles for a slackline park in the grass, as well as picnic tables, four pingpong tables, and game tables for chess and checkers. “It would not require somebody to go through the center to access it,” Parikh said. She hired Oregon-based Entra-Prises USA to design the wall.Īn outdoor bouldering rock resembling red sandstone is also in the works, and will be as tall as 11 feet and 20 feet long. Climbers can access the climbing facility’s outdoor balcony via the second floor of the recreation center near the gym, Parikh said. The climbing wall will include four to six routes with auto-belay devices that lower a climber without needing a person to belay. |
