![]() So what happens when a beloved video game goes extinct? The fan works start pouring in.Jet Set Radio Future Added by MonsieurCravate MonsieurCravate Sorry, data for given user is currently unavailable. The Jet Set crew would make sporadic appearances in SEGA crossover titles, but a new entry in the series just wasn’t in the cards. It happens to a lot of beloved series, even if the fan demand for a sequel is there. Nobody really knows why SEGA has left JSR behind most likely, it was simply a business decision after SEGA shifted priorities. Yet while other franchises continued onward, Jet Set seemed to die just as quickly as it hit the scene. (They’re now, of course, Blizzard Albany.)Īll three JSR games were released within a period of four years. The second was a Game Boy Advance port of the original game, done by Vicarious Visions of Tony Hawk GBA game fame. This game expanded the world and added a couple of gameplay features, but otherwise kept the system more or less intact. The first was a sequel for the Xbox, 2002’s Jet Set Radio Future. When the Jet Set Radio wheels stop turningįollowing the original Dreamcast game’s release, SEGA produced two more Jet Set Radio titles. Which it did - but not in the way fans hoped for. (Looking at you, EA Sports.) SEGA made something that felt like a revolution, something that might carry on forever. ![]() This was long before the sports game genre earned the reputation of just being the same product pumped out every year with a different athlete on the cover. But told through a colorful, punk rock, and anime-esque lens was something wholly unique.īut maybe what really made JSR such a big success was that it was simply a fun and different game. Jet Set Radio was nothing new in this regard. Now, plenty of media took an anti-authoritarian tone. In essence, the perfect culmination of the spirit of the 90s. Told through the lens of a gang of skaters fighting back against corrupt authorities, the story captured a sense of innocence, creativity, love, and rebellion. Perhaps what drew in people the most was its representation of the skating and graffiti subcultures. The skating gameplay was fun, building combos was exhilarating, and most importantly, the aesthetics were a highlight. Understand the concept of loveĪlmost instantly, Jet Set Radio was a hit with players and critics. ![]() Taking inspiration from street art and games like Parappa the Rapper, Smilebit created a cartoonish and striking visual flair that made the game stick out to players back in the day.Ĭombined with a killer soundtrack, famously created by composer and DJ Hideki Naganuma, it was a recipe guaranteed for success. With similar gameplay to other contemporary skating games, SEGA and its in-house development team Smilebit instead opted to make the game stand out with its visuals and attitude.Ĭel-shaded graphics were a relatively new invention at the time, and JSR pushed them closer to the forefront than ever before. Not necessarily influenced by THPS, it nonetheless took the same track in how it represented skating. SEGA had even done so once before itself with the 1997 arcade title Top Skater. The game introduced skateboarding to so many households around the globe, and for the gaming industry, it opened up the floodgates to a whole new market. The spirit of creativity, DIY nature, and camaraderie associated with skating appealed to 90s kids - as well as its rebellious, stick-it-to-the-man attitude.Īrguably, no one subject brought skating to the zenith of its popularity more than Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. ![]() The skate culture had been evolving heavily since the 1970s by the time the 90s came around, it was about to go full-on mainstream. In many ways, Jet Set Radio was the right game at the right time. Before that game launches this summer, let’s take a look at how Jet Set Radio remolded the sports game landscape. The upcoming spiritual successor Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a testament to this. Jet Set continues to leave its legacy, influencing a gaming subculture that is strong and alive today. Despite a few releases over the following few years, the Jet Set Radio franchise fizzled out faster than you could say “surf’s up.” Alongside titles like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, the game was a watershed moment in the then-mainstream skating movement.Īnd then, it was over. And for many, no franchise hit that note harder than Jet Set Radio.Īt a time when skating and extreme sports were all the rage, JSR came out to help define how skating games were meant to be made. Franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog made it clear that SEGA had the in-your-face attitude that felt so prevalent before the turn of the millennium. Whereas Nintendo felt safer and more approachable, SEGA and Sony focused more on the hardcore crowd with games targeted at older kids and teenagers. Back in the 1990s, SEGA epitomized the cool side of gaming. ![]()

![]() ![]() Some more advanced design use ‘Dual’ systems which is ‘Dual VVTi’ – one each for varying the inlet & exhaust valve timings independently. Furthermore, it moves the camshaft ahead and advances the timing of the opening of the Inlet valves. It is operated by engine oil pressure and a solenoid-operated oil control valve which is controlled by the engine’s ECU. Although there are different mechanisms to achieve the variation, this is mainly accomplished by using a ‘variable-timing camshaft’ and solenoid valves.Īpart from this, the CVVT uses the flexible hydraulic connection between the camshaft and its sprocket. Additionally, it optimizes the valve timing for all engine speeds and conditions. Besides, the CVVT varies the valve timing continuously (or infinitely) which is digitally controlled by the engine ECU. Variable Valve Timing diagramįurthermore, the newer generation VVT design implements ‘Continuous Variable Valve Timing’ or CVVT system. Thus, it provides smooth idling at low rpm and maximum power at high rpm. Besides, VVT also provides best of both worlds. In addition, VVT more often improves performance and reduces emissions. upto 3500 rpm and other for the ‘full-load’ condition, i.e. ![]() This design enables two different set of timings which includes one for the ‘part-load’ condition i.e. ![]() The first-generation VVT design uses two-step variation which optimises the engine for two different engine speeds. The Variable Valve Timing system further optimizes the timing of opening and closing the valves for multiple engine speeds. This helps to increase engine’s breathing which also improves its ‘ volumetric efficiency’ to a large extent. At high speed, the Inlet valves open quite earlier so that more air-fuel mixture or ‘charge’ enters the cylinders. The VVT varies the timing of opening and closing of valves for multiple engine speeds. To overcome this deficiency, the engineers developed VVT or ‘Variable Valve Timing’ mechanism. However, as the engine speed increases, it considerably reduces the time required to fill the cylinders fully.As a result, the engine would receive less amount of charge (air-fuel mixture) which causes power-loss especially when the engine runs at high speed. In older conventional engines, the time for which the valves remained open was optimised only for single engine speed. This is because to produce more power, it needs to suck more air-fuel mixture (charge) for burning. Similarly, when the engine runs at high speed it needs to open its inlet valves earlier, faster & for a longer period. Thus, it causes faster breathing and/or wider opening of the mouth to receive more air. This is because when the human body is subjected to heavy work, it increases the need for air-intake. Besides, while carrying out activities like swimming or lifting a weight the persons also need to open the mouth to get more air. For e.g., if the person/s are sitting or sleeping, they will breath slowly as compared to when they are walking or running. The rate at which humans breathe mainly depends upon the work carried out by humans. Let’s try to understand in the begining, why to vary the Valve Timing/VVT?įirstly, read here first what is ‘ Engine valve-timing’? An automotive engine actually ‘breaths’ (inhales/exhales) thru’ its valves just like the humans do. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Malwarebytes Katana Engine is the heart of the service.

If your income hasn’t changed much since last year, you might still be in a lower tax bracket for 2023 because of the inflation adjustments.Due to inflation, these brackets were adjusted significantly from the 2022 tax brackets (also included below). Here are the 2023 federal tax brackets and income tax rates for the four most common filing statuses. State tax rates and amounts due, if any, will vary. Remember: We're talking about federal tax. The total estimated federal tax of $4,580 is still a bit ($220) lower than the $4,800 you would be taxed if a flat 12% federal rate applied to your $40,000 of income. The next $28,999 of your income (i.e., the income between $11,001 to $44,725, which will make sense when you see the tax brackets below) gets taxed at the 12% federal rate.The first $11,000 of your income is taxed at the 10% tax rate.The rest of your income gets taxed at the federal income rate below 12%, i.e.,10%. Instead, your $40,000 will get taxed at a marginal tax rate, so only some of your income is taxed at the maximum tax rate for your income that year (12%). You might think your tax would be $4,800 since $40,000 falls into the 12% federal bracket. ![]() Take another example of someone single with a taxable income for 2023 of $40,000. The chart below shows estimates of how much of your income would be taxed at each rate. Remember that we're talking about federal tax. That is $6,600 less than if a flat 24% federal tax rate applied to your entire $100,000 of income. You can see that the estimated total federal tax on your $100,000 of taxable income given marginal tax rates would be about $17,400. That leaves $4,627 of your taxable income (the amount over $95,373) that is taxed at the 24% rate for your federal tax bracket.The following $50,649 of your income (from $44,726 to $95,375) is taxed at the 22% federal tax rate.The next $33,724 of your income (i.e., the amount from $11,001 to $44,725, which will make sense when you see the tax brackets below) is taxed at the 12% federal rate.The first $11,000 of your income is taxed at the 10% rate.Here’s how the marginal tax rate works with this example: ![]() The rest of your income is taxed at the federal income rates below 24%, i.e., 10%, 12%, and 22%. Instead, your $100,000 will be taxed at a marginal tax rate so that only some of your income is taxed at the maximum rate for your income that year (24%). You might think that since $100,000 falls into the 24% federal bracket, your tax would be a flat $24,000. Suppose your filing status is single, and you have $100,000 taxable income in 2023. More: New 2024 Income Tax Brackets Are Set What is a marginal tax rate? How income tax brackets work So, before we show you the 2023 tax brackets and the 2024 tax brackets recently released by the IRS, let’s consider some examples of how income tax brackets and marginal tax rates work. (The rest of your income gets taxed at a lower rate or rates.)

His father sent him to Mumbai for higher studies at the age of 12 in the hope that he would become a doctor or an engineer. But never did it cross my mind that I could become an actor.” ![]() I would imitate people a lot and entertain small audiences. I grew up watching such films as Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje, Amara Bhoopali, Ratnagiri Rahasya, films of V Shantaram and so on. “I would see Yakshagana and Bayalata performances as a child. ![]() “I grew up in Ananda Ashram and had very spiritual moorings till I was about 12,” he recalled. Nag grew up in Bhatkal in Karnataka and moved to Mumbai to finish his studies. Of course, the mass-hero films are also being made, but the percentage of their success has come down very heavily.” “A number of youngsters are coming forward to make interesting films. “There is a lot of interesting work that is happening today in Kannada,” Nag said. Nag is also gearing up for key roles in Hemanth Rao’s Kavaludaari and Rishab Shetty’s untitled film about the state of affairs of Kannada-medium schools. March 22, a film about water conservation, has been released in Dubai. With more than 300 titles, Nag continues to be a regular presence in most of the big Kannada productions. This apart from also appearing in Marathi and Malayalam films. Slowly, alongside a steady career in arthouse films in Kannada and Hindi, Nag nurtured an even more successful career in commercial cinema in Kannada. The 69-year-old actor and politician made a quiet debut with Kannada film Sankalpa in 1973. ![]() Nag cut his teeth in parallel cinema after a career in theatre. I had got the stamp of approval from none other than Shyam Benegal himself.” I had told myself then that I needn’t be conscious of how I look anymore. “Benegal asked me to first look to my left, then to my right and then finally told Dubey, okay, he has a photogenic face. “Sometime in the early 1970s in Bombay, theatre director Satyadev Dubey took me to meet Shyam Benegal,” Nag recalled. After a moment of contemplation, he smiled and gave the go-ahead. He hadn’t shaved, and felt that he should have been better dressed. Sitting on the steps in front of his house in Bengaluru, Nag hesitated when asked if he could be photographed. Only then can he mould his talent or fit into the skin of different characters and stories.” “Who or what is a movie star?” asked the Kannada screen icon. ![]() Unfortunately, his life was cut short due to an unforeseen car crash that took place in the Anagodu village on the outskirts of Davanagere town on September 30, 1990, where he died on the spot.Fifty years into a successful acting career – five years on the stage and 45 in front of the camera – Anant Nag does not feel like a movie star.

Get help for hard-to-reach places like your back. Don’t forget to put a thick layer on all exposed skin. Put on broad spectrum sunscreen that filters out both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of 15 or higher before you go outside. Wrap-around sunglasses work best because they block UV rays from sneaking in from the side. Most sunglasses sold in the United States, regardless of cost, meet this standard. Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection. They also protect the tender skin around your eyes from sun exposure. Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts. If you wear a baseball cap, you should also protect your ears and the back of your neck by wearing clothing that covers those areas, using sunscreen, or staying in the shade. ![]() A darker hat may offer more UV protection. Avoid straw hats with holes that let sunlight through. A tightly woven fabric, such as canvas, works best to protect your skin from UV rays. Hatįor the most protection, wear a hat that has a brim all the way around that shades your face, ears, and the back of your neck. Some clothing is certified under international standards as offering UV protection. A wet T-shirt offers much less UV protection than a dry one, and darker colors may offer more protection than lighter colors. Clothes made from tightly woven fabric offer the best protection. If wearing this type of clothing isn’t practical, try to wear a T-shirt or a beach cover-up. When possible, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants and skirts, which can provide protection from UV rays. Your best bet to protect your skin is to use sunscreen or wear protective clothing when you’re outside-even when you’re in the shade. You can reduce your risk of sun damage and skin cancer by staying in the shade under an umbrella, tree, or other shelter. How to Protect Your Skin from the Sun Shade If the UV index is 3 or higher in your area, protect your skin from too much exposure to the sun. The UV Index forecasts the strength of UV rays each day. ![]() In the continental United States, UV rays tend to be strongest from 10 a.m. UV rays can reach you on cloudy and cool days, and they reflect off of surfaces like water, cement, sand, and snow. Protection from UV rays is important all year, not just during the summer. UV rays are an invisible kind of radiation that comes from the sun, tanning beds, and sunlamps. Most skin cancers are caused by too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. You can work and play outside without raising your skin cancer risk by protecting your skin from the sun. Spending time outside is a great way to be physically active, reduce stress, and get vitamin D. ![]() |
