With Amazon’s investments, these VC funds expect to support hundreds more companies and, in turn, help create more jobs and unlock economic growth in historically underserved communities. Investors from the VC funds supported by Amazon have supported hundreds of underrepresented startup founders. The fund is part of the Techstars investment business that provides access to capital, one-on-one mentorship, and customized programming for early-stage entrepreneurs. Techstars Rising Stars Fund-With its first investments in 2022, the Rising Stars Fund is a pre-seed venture capital fund investing in underrepresented founders of color in the U.S.Share focuses on solving problems by creating and investing in innovative companies that unlock human potential in categories including health tech, future of work, people tech, fintech, transportation, and purpose tech (companies facilitating impact and change). Share Ventures-Share Ventures is a Los Angeles-based venture fund and venture foundry focused on human performance.Elevate will also collaborate closely with Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund which invests in emerging climate technology companies. It will also make investments in companies that are led by underrepresented entrepreneurs, are empowering diverse talent, and/or are creating economic opportunity for distressed or disadvantaged communities. ![]() Elevate Future Fund-Elevate Future Fund, which is overseen by Energy Impact Partners, focuses on increasing funding to underrepresented founders working on solutions to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and clean energy future.To date, Collide Capital has backed over 40 companies, of which over 80% are led by Black, Latino, and/or female founders. Collide Capital-Collide Capital is a Black-owned seed and pre-seed venture capital fund led by two founders: Aaron Samuels, who co-founded AfroTech, and Brian Hollins, who is a founding board member of BLCK VC.Through this initiative, Amazon has invested in the following funds: Despite these challenges, diverse and inclusive teams are 75% more likely to see ideas become products and 70% more likely to serve new categories. Research shows that these inequities create a negative ripple effect for underrepresented entrepreneurs, including reduced access to networks, mentors, and sponsors. venture capital funding last year, as reported by Crunchbase News. Similarly, Black-founded startups attracted only 1% and Latino-founded startups attracted only 2% of U.S. According to PitchBook, women founders received 2% of U.S. Studies consistently show that Black, Latino, women, Indigenous and LGBTQIA+ startup founders are underrepresented across the total number of funded startups. Historically, underrepresented founders have had less access to startup venture capital and greater difficulties in securing funding to bring ideas to fruition. Amazon teams will also work with the startups to identify partnership and product collaboration opportunities that could accelerate their growth. In addition to capital, the companies in the funds’ portfolios will receive mentorship from Amazon executives and gain access to resources to support their business and technical strategy. “We hope that our investment will be catalytic-sparking a force-multiplying effect by inspiring others to invest in these companies, fostering inclusion and innovation, positively impacting communities, and creating generational wealth and financial return."įounder and CEO of fintech startup EMTECH We want to ensure that these companies and their founders have the same access to capital as anyone else," said Peter Krawiec, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide corporate development. “We’ve seen incredibly innovative ideas from underrepresented entrepreneurs-from companies offering inclusive health services for women to startups helping companies mitigate climate impact for underserved communities-and we’re convinced that an inclusive investment strategy leads to better returns and innovation. Amazon expects to support more than 10 funds and over 200 companies through the next year. The company will invest in funds that focus on Black, Latino, Indigenous, women, and LGBTQIA+ founders. Amazon is launching Amazon Catalytic Capital, a new initiative to invest $150 million into venture capital (VC) funds, accelerators, incubators, and venture studios that provide funding to entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds, primarily at the pre-seed/seed stage of venture capital funding. ![]()

![]() Part of that story is recounted as well although, on the face of matters somewhat perversely, the years that followed were not the happiest for the library.Ī Treasure Trove At Hove does of course have a happy ending, and whilst it may not be of wide appeal, to anyone with an interest in cricket books and memorabilia it is certainly worth its price tag, especially as all proceeds go to such an excellent cause. Money was was a constant source of problems for the club until a very substantial inheritance came the way of Sussex after the death of Spen Cama in 2001. Younger readers will be surprised at the struggle women had in the 1970s to even become eligible for a place on the county’s committee, and it is unfortunate that the law of defamation does not allow Stoner to give more detail about the circumstances of a less than successful auction of some of the club’s artefacts that took place in 1980.įunding has, naturally, been a problem over the years and the library/museum’s fortunes in that respect, and where it was accommodated, has waxed and waned. Skilfully wrapping that up with aspects of how the county club has been run and administered, and featuring a number of digressions it is however a most entertaining read. The Museum’s roots lie in a library, and whilst it may not on its face seem a particularly interesting subject the history and development of that resource is the story that Stoner tells. His was not a name I immediately recognised, but his role as life member, vice president and treasurer of the club in the early years of this century saw him play a crucial role in the creation of the independent Museum. It is only the current incarnation, a registered charity, that is a recent creation.Ī Treasure Trove At Hove has been written by David Stoner, a retired chartered accountant. In fact the Museum can trace its ancestry back to 1948 and presumably the acquisition of artefacts even further. Not unnaturally in the circumstances I was expecting David Stoner’s booklet, which I already knew to be a history of the Museum, to be a strictly twenty first century affair, and that is where I relearnt the old lesson. The focus of the booklet, which bore Gaston’s name as its title, was the reproduction of three very rare benefit souvenirs produced before the Great War for Sussex stars of the Golden Age. That booklet was on the subject of AJ Gaston, a writer, historian and book dealer of a century ago. Where I went wrong was assuming that the publication of that first booklet marked the creation of the Museum, and that accordingly the Museum itself had just reached double figures this year. ![]() It was back in 2011 that I was one of the first in the queue to acquire one of their excellent limited edition publications, of which there have now been upwards of thirty issued, a goodly number of which we have reviewed*. The Sussex Cricket Museum is a good example of an instance of my allowing myself to be seduced into presuming wrongly. By and large that is a lesson that I have always carried with me although, just occasionally, I have let myself down by doing so. Something I learnt on joining the legal profession, many more years ago than I care to remember, was that it is generally unwise to make sweeping assumptions. ![]() A Treasure Trove At Hove Martin Chandler | 9:17am BST 17 October 2021 ![]() ![]() ![]() Once on Crait, Rose participates in a desperate ground battle with her allies, piloting a ski speeder against overwhelming First Order numbers in the hopes of destroying the enemy battering ram cannon. Captured while aboard the First Order Mega-Star Destroyer thanks to the betrayal of DJ, Tico and company end up stealing an enemy shuttle in order to make it to the new Resistance base on the nearby planet Crait. In turn, Rose, Finn and BB-8, accompanied by the slicer DJ, eventually make their way to the First Order fleet chasing the Resistance fleet in the hopes of disabling the First Order’s hyperspace device. Introduced by this obvious connection to her sister – and subsequently mentioning her sister to Finn – Rose ends up going on an adventure with Finn and BB-8 to the planet Canto Bight. Rose, grasping her own crescent necklage, sits in tears. Rose, in turn, makes her appearance after Paige’s death, when Finn comes across her as he attempts to leave the Resistance fleet. Grasping the crescent necklace around her neck, Paige Tico dies in order for others, including her sister Rose, to live. While Paige Tico only appears at the beginning of The Last Jedi as a ball gunner in a Resistance bomber, her small role is massive in that she sacrifices herself to destroy a First Order dreadnaught which threatens the Resistance fleet. ![]() ![]() Two of those characters were the Tico sisters: Paige and Rose. #Rose tico trilogy movie#I could appreciate the film at points, acknowledging that the movie presented clever and unique ideas, along with some interesting new characters.

However, I find that it's randomly generated each time you play. Roaming Susan, security cameras and Sentinel Walkers can sometimes be armed with a shield device, rendering them almost invulnerable to bullet weapons, and are often armed with laser guns, automatic shotguns or missile turrets. Guards react to footsteps from a long way away, walk quickly, and draw their weapons almost instantly.ĭ. As opposed to Loose Cannon, guards can carry ANY weapon in the game.Ĭ. ![]() The biggest differences in this difficulties are:ī. My friggin' god it's much more difficult, but I know the routes and all that from my time of playing weekend warrior and a little bit of loose cannon. I've been let's Playing it for the time being to get a feel for "NO REMORSE" difficult. Strange, I've been doing some work on this game. But I'm aiming higher because I used to play this game religiously, and am thinking of running it on "No Remorse" Difficulty. Now, I've been playing around with it on Mama's Boy Difficulty etc, and think it might be worth an attempt at speedrunning at some point. Anyway, Crusader, made in 1995 always holds a very special place, and I finally managed to get it running again on my computer. The first game I ever owned, for those who are curious, is Descent (PC). I think I was about 5 or 6 at the time, and this was more or less the only game I could play on the old Computer, seeing at this was back in 1997/1998. Thread title: Well, this game has always had a very special place in my heart as the second game that I ever owned and played. However, the game does have the option to save on the spot for tackling hard bits. #Dosbox crusader no remorse code#I completed Level 1 on this difficult recently, albeit in 7 parts, with live commentary, and needless to say, it won't be easy by any means - I believe all code panel doors are random if I remember correctly for each playthrough, so it's useless remembering the code. This includes the almighty EM-9, which vapourises you upon contact the AR-7 Burst Rocket assault rifle, firing a cluster of up to 5 rockets at a time, and almost every Solartron and Vetron mech is armed with AR-7s or GL-303 rockets, which are an instant kill at any shield or health level on No Remorse.Īnyway, I've been doing a Let's Play of this game on No Remorse to try and get an idea of the things I'm up against. On any other difficulty, the standard guards carry something like a BA-41 burst pistol, maybe the odd one will have an SG-A1 shotgun, but on No Remorse, there is no limit to the armaments that the enemies can carry. This is probably one of the most challenging things I could do. ![]() Well, this game has always had a very special place in my heart as the second game that I ever owned and played. ![]() ![]() The most recent game to see over 100 points scored was between the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs. ![]() In the meantime, Drew Brees threw 7 touchdowns as the Saints secured a last-second victory thanks to a 50-yard field goal from Kai Forbath. Eli Manning threw 6 touchdowns, 3 of which went to Odell Beckham Jr. In 2015, the New Orleans Saints defeated the Giants 52-49. Additionally, running back Rudi Johnson had 2 touchdowns and 202 yards on 26 carries. Antonio Bryant had 131 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, while Steve Heiden had 3 touchdowns on 7 receptions. For the Bengals, Carson Palmer threw 4 touchdowns, 2 of which went to T.J. The game saw Browns QB Kelly Holcomb throw for 413 yards with 5 touchdowns. The Bengals clinched the win with a 31-yard interception return from Deltha O’Neal. In an NFC North divisional game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, the Bengals won 58-48. After 1966, the NFL did not see another 100-point game until 2004. Including the game between Washington and the Giants, 100 points or more have been scored four times since the NFL merger. For Houston, George Blanda threw 5 touchdowns, 2 of them to Willard Dewveall. Oakland QB Tom Flores threw 6 touchdowns, 4 of which went to Art Powell, who also had 247 receiving yards. Mike Mercer kicked the game-winning field goal with the score tied 49-49, also taking the game over 100 points in total. In a thrilling game, the Raiders scored 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to win the game. The second pre-merger game to go over 100 points was a 52-49 contest between the Oakland Raiders and Houston Oilers. Dodgers QB Bob Chappuis, meanwhile, threw 3 touchdowns in the game. In that game, 49ers quarterback Frankie Albert threw 4 touchdowns and added 1 on the ground. The first of these was in 1948 when the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 63-40. Two pre-merger games saw over 100 points scored. The game between Washington and the Giants may be the highest scoring, but it is not the only time over 100 points have been scored in an NFL game. How many times have 100 points been scored in NFL history? The Giants also threw for 3 touchdowns, with two from Gary Wood and one from Tom Kennedy. Whitfield added 2 touchdowns on the ground and caught the third passing touchdown from Jurgensen. Offensively, Washington’s Sonny Jurgensen threw 3 passing touchdowns, two to Charley Taylor. Included in those 16 touchdowns were a fumble return, an interception return, and a punt return (all by Washington). The game would see 16 touchdowns and a single field goal scored. A total of 113 points were scored as Washington came away with a 72-41 victory over their NFC East rivals. Washington entered with a 6-5 record while the Giants were 1-8-1 entering Week 12. The game was played in Week 12 of that season between the Washington franchise and the New York Giants.

They’ll be roasting meat in-house, baking hoagie rolls coated in sesame seeds, and recreating an authentic New York–style deli scene that is lacking on-Island. She said she is also excited to offer homemade sausage, pâtés, fresh-baked hoagie rolls for sandwiches, and sizable salads.Īnd with Mo’s Lunch, there’s no question that everything is handmade from scratch. “I obviously need the business of summer visitors, but I really wanted it to be locally focused.” “Having an affordable but high-quality restaurant that is year-round is important to me, because those are really the people I am working for - the people who live on the Island,” Martin said. Martin is hoping Mo’s Lunch will serve as a go-to bite for working folks on Martha’s Vineyard, beachgoers who want to grab a drink and a sandwich after a long day in the sun, and families who want a delicious, homemade meal at a good price. Club goes well with the intended feel of Mo’s Lunch, and it also provides a necessary funding source for an important Island organization. She added that the nostalgic, no-frills vibe of the P.A. Club membership required to enjoy the delicious food. Club decided it needed to change its business model so it didn’t rely so heavily on member fees, so they offered Martin and Racine the opportunity to open their restaurant. Club is really just this community hub where people who are in need, or schools who are having fundraisers, or if someone passes away and needs a place to have a memorial - that’s the place where most locals would go, because it’s affordable and a true place for Islanders,” Martin said. “They weren’t bringing in as much money as they normally would because people couldn’t have functions, and the P.A.

Amongst the key achievements of its measurements are refining the cosmic distance scale, characterizing the large-scale kinematic motions in the Solar neighborhood, providing precise luminosities for stellar modelling, and confirming Einstein’s prediction of the effect of gravity on starlight. Astronomy is not a mere subfield of physics, but a truly interdisciplinary quest to understand the universe.The Hipparcos satellite, developed and launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1989, was the first space mission dedicated to astrometry – the accurate measurement of positions, distances, and proper motions of stars. And because randomness is everywhere, both in the sky and in our data, some astronomers make very clever use of statistics. Even chemistry has its place in understanding molecular clouds in space, cool stellar atmospheres, and the composition of planets. Some astronomers specialize in telescope and instrument building, and become very good engineers. Computers are used at every step of the way, not just to simulate physical situations, but to deal with the reams of data modern instruments produce. Other disciplines come into play as well. Physics is used in the design of instruments, the interpretation of the data the instruments produce, and finally in the construction of the grand theories which explain the evolution of stars, galaxies, and the universe (or the earth!). There is a discipline of geophysics, just as there's a discipline of astrophysics, but in geophysics and astrophysics, the physics is often not an end in itself, but rather a tool used to understand what is there. ![]() Astronomy, in contrast, is concerned with a particular object which we find - the Universe - and everything in it, in much the same way that geology is concerned with a particular object, in that case the earth. The fundamental aim of physics is to uncover the fundamental laws of Nature, and to apply these rules in situations where they are helpful. Over the past twenty years or so it has become clear that astronomical observations may be the only way to get at certain very big questions in fundamental physics, since the conditions of the Big Bang may never be replicated.Įven though astronomy and physics are intimately co-mingled, they are not quite the same. Physics and astronomy became even more closely joined as discoveries in atomic physics opened the path to understanding the true nature of the stars, and the development of nuclear physics finally made it possible to understand how they shine for so long. In the Renaissance the clean, mathematically predictable motions of the planets played a decisive role in the birth of physics. You may wonder, then, what astronomy is, and how it relates to the other subject in the department, physics.Īstronomy is among the oldest of sciences. Until recently, a separated major wasn't available. The astronomy major is under the umbrella of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. As an astronomy major, you will come to understand how much of this works, and you will have opportunities to make your own contribution to humankind's understanding of the cosmos. We live in a golden age of science, and astronomy is enjoying more than its share of breakthroughs. Astronomy today is a large, fast-moving enterprise, in which new instruments and theories are constantly evolving. ![]() ![]() ![]() Locking an enemy to the ground is hugely useful as it gives you time to clear lesser troops with them immobilized, and you can wail on them when they’re locked in place in a way that you may not be able to do otherwise. Also, I highly recommend pinning in the Ranged tree where you shoot an enemy in the foot to freeze them in place. I flip over Orcs, freeze them from behind, then cut into them. The first is the Wraith move that turns your stun into a total freeze, which you can follow up with a flurry of strikes that will usually get you close to max Might. There are a few skills that I’ve found very much necessary for 1v1 fights. I talked about crowd control earlier, but obviously killing Captains and Warchiefs is a huge part of the game as well. You can have your favorites if you want, but unless you build them into overpowered monsters, expect to lose a bunch of them.Ħ. ![]() I was devastated, but the more I play, the more I find my Orcs randomly being executed in battles when summoned because you simply have very little control of how many fights shake out. In one of the very first matches I sent my boy in to fight an Orc four levels below him and he lost, and got butchered. Shadow of memories region free xbox series#After a series of missions, I was introduced to the fighting pits, where Orcs battled against one another. Early on, I bonded with the first Orc I took over (not Bruz, one after him that you get to pick), and made him my bodyguard. I’ve learned that this game is way too random to reliably keep even your favorite Orcs alive. Just don’t expect to rely too heavily on stealth this time around. This is why you do your research I guess. Worst case, they’re stealth immune or enraged by it, and you’re in hot water. ![]() And while a few Captains have a weakness that will let you autokill them with stealth, the vast majority don’t and at best you’ll get a bit of damage in before a full-on brawl breaks out immediately. Yes, there will be some missions that will require you to use stealth, and they are usually mapped out accordingly, but more generally? There are just too many damn Orcs everywhere moving and spawning in unpredictable ways that trying to be stealthy in the overworld is almost impossible. What I’ve found is that the other side effect of having Orcs literally everywhere in Shadow of War is that trying to take on most situations using stealth is now nearly impossible. ![]() |
