![]() ![]() Perhaps other viewers would notice other things first, but I instantly found myself put on notice: apparently, A Zed & Two Noughts was going to be a movie in which things echoed with other things and the whole feature would require me to keep track of where those echoes occurred. We spend enough time watching this image that the tiger has been well burned into our brain, and then there's a cut to a street at night, and a car accident which is the precipitating event for the entire movie, but even so when the cut first happened, my attention was sucked right to the upper right corner, where an Esso billboard dominates the background, prominently featuring a mighty tiger. ![]() The protagonists are a pair of biologists studying the animals at the zoo, brothers Oswald Deuce (Brian Deacon) and Oliver Deuce (Eric Deacon), one of whom is seen early on listlessly taking notes of how many times a tiger paces back and forth without eating the zebra head lying on the floor of its cage. But they also spell out O-O-Z if you run them backwards like the film does near the end, and if you hold that up to a mirror and flip the Z around so it doesn't become a spiky S, like the film does at the same time, that spells Z-O-O, and a zoo is where the action takes place. The zed and two noughts of the title stand for Zebra, Oswald, and Oliver. There is an unmistakable brashness to it, for sure, one that feels untamed in ways that aren't always successful, with the caveat that "successful" is a loaded term in this case, very loaded indeed.Īnyway, it's kind of fucking ludicrous, this movie, but thankfully it makes it easy on us by clarifying very early what kind of ludicrousness we're in for. I can't speak to that I haven't seen remotely near enough Greenaway. ![]() The director has in later days somewhat distanced himself from the finished film, acknowledging the gap between his intentions and his execution there seems to be a general consensus among critics that this is a not-as-good early attempt at what the director would do much more successfully later on. The second narrative feature directed by Peter Greenaway (and it would probably be okay to put "narrative feature" in scare quotes), A Zed & Two Noughts from 1985, is kind of fucking ludicrous, the monumentally ambitious overreach of a filmmaker combining the wide-ranging interests and enormous reference pool of a well-read middle-aged man with the gung-ho enthusiasm of a relative neophyte for whom the whole "art cinema" thing is a shiny new toy (Greenaway was 43 years old when the film came out, and he had been making experimental shorts and documentaries for 23 of those years).

![]() ![]() The Banker is a great option for protecting the Kingdom's treasure from the waves, as well as for stashing coins in preparation for the winter, when the options for generating coins are reduced. When Monarchs lose their Crowns, all coins stored with the Banker will be available for the next Heirs on their respective islands. Kingdom Two Crowns – All coins stored with the Banker are kept when the Monarchs leave the island. Kingdom: New Lands – All coins stored with the Banker are lost forever when the Monarch leaves the island, even if returning to the "same" island later on. Unlike the Gem Keeper, each Banker is rooted to the island he appeared on. ![]() This will work every five days indefinitely by utilizing your earnings from interest alone. Technically speaking if you store at least one hundred coins with the banker, every five days you can refill your coin purse completely. When more than one hundred coins are stored, the interest rate becomes a solid eight coins per day. If at least three, up to one hundred coins are stored, the Banker increases the funds by seven percent (rounded up) per day. If a total of only one or two coins have been deposited, there will be no interest, and that amount won't change with time. Interest earnings are daily and depend on the number of coins stored. There is no limit to the number of coins the Monarch can give to the Banker. If there are more coins in storage than this, the coin pile will not change, even though it looks like there is more space for it to rise. If there are fewer than approximately one hundred coins in the bank, the coin pile will visibly rise or fall while coins are being deposited or withdrawn via the Banker. The player can approximately tell how much money is stored in the town hall/keep by observing the pile of coins inside. Total stored Ī castle keep partially filled with coins. As of the Conquest Update, the Banker no longer stops giving back coins on a day after receiving a deposit. ![]() Kingdom Two Crowns – If the Monarch is carrying gems, withdrawing will probably make the pouch overflow because the Banker does not account for them. The Banker allows unlimited withdrawals and deposits each day, although withdrawals are locked for the day as soon as a deposit of ten coins is made (to reduce frustration from accidentally withdrawing everything the Monarch just deposited). īy standing or walking near the Banker, the Monarch will either withdraw a third of the coins stored or have their coin pouch filled to the top, whichever is smaller. Withdrawals are allowed for Monarchs with at least seven coins in the bank. This can be repeated up to an unknown maximum limit. When given ten coins, he walks over to the castle doorway to visibly deposit them, and will then be ready to pick up more coins. When given fewer than ten coins, the Banker holds onto them, but they are considered as stored. In Norse Lands the Banker's working hours are visibly shorter. The Greed cannot attack him, because he'll never go out during waves, and will promptly take refuge if he sees a counterattack wave approaching during the day.ĭepending on the destruction of portals, on the subsequent Greed waves, and on how long the Kingdom defenses take to defeat those waves, this behavior of the Banker can lead to situations in which Monarchs won't be able to access their bank account for a couple of days. The Banker though will only show up during daytime, going out at dawn, right after the morning bell, and hiding himself again in the building at sunset.īeing out for the entire morning and afternoon, the Banker is accessible for two minutes and forty five seconds (2m 45s) of real life time every normal in-game day. The bank will be available on an island after a town hall is built there. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is all fine, but designers should keep in mind what devices and apps their books will be read on small smartphone screens might mean that what seems big on iPad or Fire will still seem small on iPhone.

![]() ![]() And even those that are available sometimes have odd UI and scaling issues, which is to be expected since they weren’t designed to run on a Mac. Popular ones like FaceBook and Instagram are missing and so are popular iOS games like Genshin Impact and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. But before you get too excited, not all the apps are available. The switch to M1 also gains users the ability to run iOS and iPadOS apps. I say yet because Parallels (the people behind Parallels Desktop for Mac) have said that they are developing one for M1 Macs. The only issue I see now is that these M1 Macs can’t run virtual machines yet. In fact, they work just as well if not even better on the M1 13-inch MacBook Pro. I did experience problems with an app called Karabiner-Elements that I use to remap keys on my mechanical keyboard, but mostly, apps that haven’t yet been compiled for Apple Silicon run just fine. I even tried some games on Steam like Dawn of War II and Civilization IV and they both ran well. The same goes for Firefox, Chrome, Grammarly, Airmail, Logi Options, and Microsoft Office apps like Word and Excel, and many more. You’ll be prompted to install Rosetta the first time you run an Intel app and Intel apps do take a little longer to launch because of the translation involved but that’s about it.

On Apple's part, all of Apple's own apps like Pages, Music, Keynote, Safari, and more, have all been coded to run natively on M1. Given that M1 is based on ARM and therefore uses an entirely different instruction set to Intel, there’s a considerable amount of apprehension from users as to whether their apps would run, and if they did would they run well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Use HCL in 10-20% solution to clean and etch all CU3 from the copper before applying patina.

It should be clear that a seller doesn’t necessarily have to accept the 2nd best offer in a bidding war. So when someone asks are backup offers worth it, they certainly could be. It is almost always in the seller’s best interests to have a second offer waiting in the wings. With so few houses in today’s market, buyers can be in a backup offer position if the first contract fails. In many real estate deals, something causes a buyer to back out. Making backup offers are pretty standard. Determining exactly how backup offers work in your particular state from your real estate agent is imperative. If you don’t want the house, you must leave your good faith deposit behind. You immediately go into purchasing the home for a price agreed upon in the backup offer. If the primary offer with the first buyer doesn’t happen, your agreement takes effect. In some multiple listing services, homes are marked “contingent accepting backup offers.”įor various reasons, some sales fall through.ĭepending on your residence state, a backup offer could become a legally binding contract. Many homes go under contract into the contingent status and stay there until contingencies are satisfied. If you have made a backup offer and one of the contingencies is not completed, you could find yourself first in line to buy the house. Multiple real estate contingencies must often be met before a transaction is signed, sealed, and delivered.

Of course, losing out on a home can lead to a lot of disappointment on a buyer’s part. It is not uncommon to find the perfect home right as another buyer has signed a contract with the seller. When competition increases in the housing market, finding an ideal home can sometimes be difficult before another buyer gets to it. Should a homeowner consider accepting a backup buyer?
