Nancy from stranger things8/25/2023 After having spent three seasons firmly in a supporting role, Nancy is now a central figure in the story while the rest of the Party (sans perhaps Dustin) merely follows her lead. As Hawkins grapples with a series of graphic murders against highly vulnerable teenagers, Nancy follows her “shot in the dark” to uncover the meaning and perpetrator behind the crimes. Unfortunately, she receives less focus in Season 3 as the show struggled to balance its ever-growing cast and multiple storylines, but Nancy’s brief stint at the Hawkins Post did highlight the sexism faced by women in workplaces during the 1980s.Īs in Season 1, Nancy deals with the grief and death of losing a friend, but Stranger Things illustrates how far she’s come as she immediately kicks into gear and follows the trail set out for her by Wayne Munson ( Joel Stoffer). The storyline is partly fan service, but it does allow Nancy to come to terms with her buried grief and finally move on from her year-long stasis. ![]() In the second season, her development continues as she firmly breaks up with Steve for good, leaving behind her prescribed pathway in life, and embracing her strengths as an investigator to get #JusticeForBarb. Nancy tangibly matures in a short space of time, reconnecting with her younger brother and forgoing less important dreams like fitting in with the popular crowd. ![]() The rest of the first season sees Nancy evolve into a self-described "monster-hunter" after she and Jonathan Byers ( Charlie Heaton) discover that the Demogorgon has kidnapped her best friend and his brother respectively. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived.RELATED: 'Stranger Things': Satanic Panic Explained Stranger Things 2: It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. The Plot of Season 1: A love letter to the ’80s classics that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is set in 1983 Indiana, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. Honestly, I’m as excited as anybody to see it, to see what happens.” Watch the full Natalia Dyer Stranger Things interview: Natalia Dyer: “Yeah, I dip into social media a little bit. Trying to take it in.”ĭo you have any plans when season two premieres to follow along with people watching it? New crazy things happening all the time, just trying to live in the moment. It’s been a very whirlwind kind of a year, and it’s been amazing and exciting and scary. How has your life changed since season one premiered? But I also have safety in that I have a lot of trust in the (Duffer) brothers team and in the cast for delivering something great. It was so big and so great that you just hope you kind of live up to the hype in a way. Natalia Dyer: “I think there’s an element of pressure because we had no idea exactly what the response would be to season one. There’s no going back to normalcy after that.”ĭo you enter season two with more comfort or more pressure because of what season one delivered? I think this season we realize that you can’t really go back. Being in a small town and not being able to really talk about things that happened, it’s very constricting and confining. How will Nancy live a normal teenage life after experiencing the supernatural? But, there’s really no way to go back from what happened and so you just have to go forward and figure out what you’re going to do about it.” Natalia Dyer: “So, it’s a year later and Nancy is coping with everything that has happened and trying to piece together a sense of normalcy. Stranger Things’ Natalia Dyer stopped to chat about reprising her role as Nancy Wheeler in the much-anticipated second season which is set to premiere on October 27, 2017. ![]() The cast of Netflix’s bingeworthy series Stranger Things made the trek to San Diego for the 2017 Comic Con, taking questions from fans during a packed panel and then stepping onto the red carpet for brief interviews.

Monopoly man eyeglass8/25/2023 Some conspiracy theorists believe that the Mandela Effect is proof of an alternate universe, where the things we believe to be true are genuine reality. Where the cars were described as having ‘smashed into’ one another, more people remembered broken glass that hadn’t existed, when compared to the verbs ‘hit’ or ‘bumped into’. The implications of the Mandela Effect go beyond fun discussions on the internet – false memories can influence witness statements, and can lead people to become victims of manipulation.Ī 1974 study found that people who had viewed a video recording of a car accident remembered different details depending on the verb that had been used to describe it. The human mind can be easily influenced by the power of suggestion, which means that ideas can be planted in our minds and false memories can be created. Large groups of people can be convinced of something that didn’t even happen. From a scientific point of view, it’s a very interesting phenomenon. The Mandela Effect shows how unreliable the human memory can be. Likewise, the ‘Looney Tunes’ have never been the ‘Looney Toons’. That’s always been the spelling, though you might argue that it used to be ‘The Berenstein Bears’. The animated TV series ‘The Berenstain Bears’ is another example of this phenomenon. ![]() People recall the line to be “Luke, I am your father”, whereas the actual line is “No, I am your father.” One such example is the famous line from ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’. Monopoly has worn a monocle, but this isn’t the only example of the Mandela Effect you might experience. Based on previous experience, we can make assumptions and we might believe them to be true.

The guy on the Pringles tubes looks a lot like Mr. Monopoly, the Planters Peanuts mascot, Mr. Photo: Kiliweb per Open Food Facts Wait, does the peanut guy have a monocle or not? Our brain expects a monocle, so we’re convinced that we’ve seen one. Some people believe that we imagine a monocle because most pictures of men with a mustache and a top hat do also include this accessory. The Monopoly Man, Rich Uncle Pennybags, wears a thick, white handlebar mustache on his face. What does the Monopoly Man wear on his face? So it seems that while the Monopoly Man doesn’t generally wear a monocle, he does at least own one. Sorry about that.Īfter a lot of digging on the internet, I did find one image of the real Rich Uncle Pennybags wearing a monocle This appeared on the official Monopoly Facebook page on 18th May 2016. The logo of this website is one such place where you’ll find an unofficial image of the Monopoly guy with an eyeglass. Pictures of the Monopoly Man wearing a monocle do exist, although most of these have been altered to demonstrate the Mandela Effect, or are unofficial drawings. Did the Monopoly guy ever have a monocle? You’re not the first person to ask ‘Does the Monopoly Man have a monocle or not?’ and you certainly won’t be the last. The image in your mind might be so clear that it’s hard to simply wipe it away. Yet, the proof is in the picture…Įven when you’re told that the Monopoly guy hasn’t ever used a monocle, it can be hard to believe it. They’ve searched online, looking closely at images, and emptied board game boxes on the floors of their homes. Many people have debated the existence of Mr. Despite being synonymous with the monocle, the Monopoly Man never actually wore one. Monopoly has never been pictured on a Monopoly box or board with a monocle or eyeglass. The Monopoly Man does not have a monocle and had never had one. ![]() There are some pictures of Monopoly Man with monocle on his face, but they are doctored, and not official.Mr Monopoly has never worn a monocle despite what some people believe.This is named after The Mandela Effect, where people were convinced Nelson Mandela had died earlier than he did, and ‘remembered’ seeing his funeral.A lot of people believe they have seen the Monopoly Man monocle before but he does not wear one.The Monopoly Mandela Effect – a quick guide Sam carrying frodo drawing8/25/2023 ![]() When a band of orcs approached, Sam was forced to leave the apparently dead Frodo and take the Ring himself, and briefly became the Ring-bearer. When Shelob stung Frodo, Sam drove her off. His suspicions were proven right when Gollum betrayed them to the giant spider Shelob. Sam distrusted Gollum, who became their guide into Mordor. Sam protected and cared for Frodo, who was growing weaker under the Ring's influence, as they moved through the dangerous lands toward Mordor. When the Fellowship split up at the Falls of Rauros, Sam insisted on accompanying Frodo. In the elvish land of Lothlórien, Galadriel gives Sam a small box of earth from her garden. At the Council of Elrond there, Sam joined the Fellowship of the Ring. They were joined by Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took, Frodo's cousins, traveling together to Rivendell. As "punishment" for eavesdropping on Gandalf's conversation with Frodo regarding the One Ring, Sam was made Frodo's first companion on his journey to Rivendell. Samwise Gamgee was Frodo Baggins's gardener, having inherited the position from his father, Hamfast "Gaffer" Gamgee, who was Bilbo Baggins's gardener. Tolkien's biographers have noted the resemblance of Sam's relationship with Frodo to that of military servants to British Army officers in the First World War.įurther information: Tolkien's Middle-earth poetry Psychologists have seen Sam's quest as a psychological journey of love. Tolkien considered Sam a hero of the story. Scholars have remarked the symbolism in Sam's story, which carries echoes of Christianity for instance, his carrying of Frodo is reminiscent of Simon of Cyrene's carrying of Christ's cross. The name Gamgee derives from a local name for cotton wool, from a surgical dressing invented by Sampson Gamgee hence Sam's girlfriend Rosie is from the Cotton family. He was elected Mayor of the Shire for seven consecutive terms. Following the War of the Ring, Sam returned to the Shire and his role as gardener, helping to replant the trees which had been destroyed while he was away. Sam served as Ring-bearer for a short time when Frodo was captured by orcs his emotional strength was again demonstrated when he willingly gave the Ring back to Frodo. Sam was Frodo's steadfast companion and servant, portrayed as both physically strong for his size and emotionally strong, often supporting Frodo through difficult parts of the journey and at times carrying Frodo when he was too weak to go on. He was drawn into Frodo's adventure while eavesdropping on a private conversation Frodo was having with the wizard Gandalf. Sam is a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, the group of nine charged with destroying the One Ring to prevent the Dark Lord Sauron from taking over the world. A hobbit, Samwise is the chief supporting character of The Lord of the Rings, serving as the loyal companion (in effect: "manservant") of the protagonist Frodo Baggins. Samwise Gamgee ( / ˈ s æ m ˌ w aɪ z ˈ ɡ æ m ˌ dʒ iː/, usually called Sam) is a fictional character in J. Zither chinese8/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Nearly all qin books and tablature collections published prior to the twentieth century state this as the actual origins of the qin, although this is now viewed as mythology. Legend has it that the qin, the most revered of all Chinese musical instruments, has a history of about 5,000 years, and that the legendary figures of China's pre-history – Fuxi, Shennong and Huang Di, the " Yellow Emperor" – were involved in its creation. Main article: Guqin history A girl playing a guqin, Eastern Han dynasty, collection of the Musée des Arts Asiatiques de Toulon, France In 2010, a Song period guqin was sold for $22 million, making it the most expensive musical instrument ever sold. In 2006, guqin was listed in the List of National Non-material Cultural Heritage in China. On 7 November 2003, UNESCO announced that the Chinese guqin was selected as an Intangible World Cultural Heritage. There are more than 3,360 known surviving pieces of guqin music from ancient and imperial periods. The modern form has been stabilized to seven strings. By tradition, the qin originally had five strings, which represent gong, shang, jue, zhi, yu in the ancient Chinese music system, but ancient qin-like instruments with only one string or more strings have been found. The qin is also capable of many harmonics, of which 91 are most commonly used and indicated by the dotted positions. Pressing different "hui" produces different sound keys. The qin has 13 "hui", which represent the different position in one string. The use of glissando-sliding tones-gives it a sound reminiscent of a pizzicato cello, fretless double bass or a slide guitar. Sounds are produced by plucking open strings, stopped strings, and harmonics. Its lowest pitch is about two octaves below middle C, or the lowest note on the cello. The guqin is a very quiet instrument, with a range of about four octaves, and its open strings are tuned in the bass register. Other incorrect classifications, mainly from music compact discs, include " harp" or "table-harp". Because Robert Hans van Gulik's book about the qin is called The Lore of the Chinese Lute, the guqin is sometimes inaccurately called a lute. It can also be called qixian-qin (七絃琴 lit. Thus, the instrument is called " guqin" today. The prefix " gu-" (古 meaning "ancient") was later added for clarification. Traditionally, the instrument was simply referred to as the " qin" (琴) but by the twentieth century the term had come to be applied to many other musical instruments as well: the yangqin hammered dulcimer, the huqin family of bowed string instruments, and the Western piano ( gangqin (钢琴)) and violin ( xiaotiqin (小提琴)) are examples of this usage. The guqin is not to be confused with the guzheng, another Chinese long stringed instrument also without frets, but with moveable bridges under each string. It is sometimes referred to by the Chinese as "the father of Chinese music" or "the instrument of the sages". It has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favoured by scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement, as highlighted by the quote "a gentleman does not part with his qin or se without good reason," as well as being associated with the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius. The guqin ( ( listen) Chinese: 古琴) is a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument. Ancient Qin (a type of musical instrument) Iota news8/25/2023 ![]() I found the name quite fitting because if this line is broken your AION node is dead (but can be recovered) simply because there is no longer a connection to the ‘live’ consensus (current local snapshot). ![]() And even months later, it is still common to find people confused about what the IoT actually entails. During its emergence to the widespread public over the last six months of 2017, many people had no idea what IOTA’s innovation actually was. This concept of constantly watching timewarps and finding paths between them is called a lifeline. The full article was originally published by HelloIOTA. In order to keep a path to your data, it is essential to be able to switch timewarps. The problem with only relying on timewarps is that multiple can exist at the same time and they could stop at any given time as well. ![]() This is still true but a more higher-level concept for managing paths in AION was needed. This in itself was not a problem but timewarps always have been the main focus of making AION efficient. As discussed in a previous article is that timewarps are a little bit more complicated than initially anticipated. (That this happened was anticipated!)įor AION this was rethinking the importance of timewarps. As always with new projects is that during the development you come across some issues that require you to rethink parts of your solution. So far the progress is steady but still away from fully finished. Last few months I have been very busy with bringing AION to the next level, the level on which it can actually be used and becomes a product. The IOTA Lightpaper for Business provides beginners with an overview of this groundbreaking technology and the benefits it delivers to business, as well as several inspiring use cases.

As you will see, careful planning is indicated. ![]() We see fewer boss cheats if we can complete the battles in under 5 rounds. It may take an extra blade to defeat these monsters than we are accustomed in regard to typical school resists for bosses and minions. Resist/boost from all creatures is not always what we expect. Resistant gear (such as Jade gear) can make these battles much less difficult. After you learn the dungeon, health isn’t as much of an issue and the Wisps will be enough. Worst case scenario, you can flee, get health and Dungeon Recall. We can flee any battle and return via Dungeon Recall. There are red Health Wisps all throughout the Upper Halls, at the Graveyard sigil and in the Graveyard.

Traktor f1 ableton 108/25/2023 ![]() ![]() I'm aware that these are rushed instructions so if you have any questions feel free to message me and as I said earlier I think a Google Hangout would be beneficial to watch in detail all the controls that are available on the Kontrol F1. Once that is done your Kontrol F1 should have very similar functions to the Maschine Mk2 template. I've been pulling my hair out for a week now trying to solve this, any help would be much appreciated! I'm using LIve 9.1, is this something to do with the change in template files for Machine MKII and Ableton Live 9.1? Am I doing something wrong, I don't have the extra functionality when pressing the shift and sync/quant keys etc. I can shift octave on the keyboard using the 'Z' & 'X' keys which changes notes on the keyboard but the only way i seem able to shift octave on the F1 is to remap each pad to a different note. The biggest issue I'm having is being able to launch/play/stop clips but namely shifting octave in Live to access different notes on an instrument. The pads work when I load up an instrument in Live but nothing else seems functional. I select the relevant settings in the Live Midi settings etc. ![]() I've installed the Maschine MKII files to the Resources folder in Ableton and loaded the map into the Traktor Controller editor. I came across your mapping and the video demonstrates exactly what I'm looking to ahieve but I can't seem to get it fully functioning. I've just started to get into Ableton and trying to use my F1 as a controller. I DJ using Traktor and have an S4 and F1. Enjoy!Hi rdej47Īppreciate this is an old post but I've scored the web for a solution to this and really struggling. Here is a link all the necessary files: ( )ġ) Open the Controller Editor PDF inside the folder and follow the instructions to load the Maschine Mk2 script into Ableton Live 9Ģ) Open the Kontrol F1 Ableton.nckf1 file and save it inside the controller editor.ģ) Open Ableton Live 9, Go to preferences, go to Midi/Sync, and under control surfaces select Maschine Mk2, then under input and output select Traktor Kontrol F1.Ĥ) Under midi ports make sure that Track and Remote are on for both the Maschine Mk2 Input and Output.

Picture of a cicada8/24/2023 ![]() When building their burrows, they can bring a lot of soil up to the surface. They can often be found along sidewalks or patio edges, in flower beds, gardens, or lawns. They tend to build their burrows in well-drained areas with light-textured soils (think sandy instead of clay) that are in full sun. Adults will begin to emerge in July, around the time when annual cicadas start emerging and will live into September. The larva will overwinter in the burrow and pupate in the spring. ![]() The eggs will hatch, and the larva will burrow into the cicada and begin to feed on it (while the cicada is still alive). ![]() She will then deposit them in underground tunnels where she will lay eggs on them. Females will fly up into tree canopies to capture and paralyze cicadas. They have large, rust-colored eyes as well as orangish-red wings and legs.Ĭicada killers are a native wasp species, and as their name implies, they hunt cicadas. Cicada killers can be up to 1.5 inches long and are black with yellow markings on the thorax and abdomen. The species I’ve been getting questions about the most, particularly now in late summer, are cicada killers ( Sphecius speciosus). If you want to learn more about Asian giant hornets, check out Asian Giant Hornets: Your Questions Answered from the Home, Yard & Garden Pest Newsletter. They also have a yellow to orange head, and their abdomens have orange and black stripes. Asian giant hornets are 1.5 – 1.75 inches long and much bulkier in appearance. As you can see, it may be easy to confuse these wasps with Asian giant hornets ( Vespa mandarinia). American boxer briefs8/24/2023 ![]() Which Underwear Style Is Most Functional?ĭefinition: How well they cover and keep things in place Support is essential as it keeps everything tucked away in a neat package … pardon the pun. Other men may like the feeling that you're not wearing anything down there – but it's not a great idea if you want to maintain the health of your manhood. They're airy and comfortable enough to wear as an alternative to lounge pants.Īside from that, they lack support. Boxers – Unsupportive But Great For Sleepīoxers are good when you're sleeping or don't plan on getting out of bed. Try jogging in boxer briefs and boxers, and you will notice the difference. They don't leave your manhood hanging the way boxers do but cover up more of your body. You'll feel physically comfortable and won't feel awkward because you feel like your manhood is on show. They sit somewhere between the skin coverage provided by boxers and the support provided by briefs. Once again, boxer briefs act as a hybrid underwear option. I think they feel great, especially when you're playing soccer, as well.” Boxer Briefs – Great For Comfort And Coverage Just hear what soccer superstar David Beckham had to say about tighty-whities: “They're comfortable. The better they are made, the more freedom of motion you get. Briefs – Maximum Support At All Timesīriefs, by far, provide the most support. We need to give our manhood the necessary support whenever we're walking or moving around. There is more to it than just feeling relaxed. Let's all remember the big picture when it comes to comfort. When it comes to the comfort of different types of underwear, the keyword to consider is support. You've worked hard on your abs why not show them off?īut it's probably best for my dad-bod and skinny readers to avoid briefs and look at other types of men's underwear. If you're a physically fit man, then this could be a benefit. The minimal design means almost everything is on show – from your gut to your thighs. It takes a particular build to pull off underwear that's shorter in length.īriefs will put a lot of pressure on a man who isn't in fantastic shape. Sadly not everybody has the physique of a Calvin Klein model or a professional athlete. Granted, that was a few years back, and most of them could be brawnier these days. The guys of One Direction all agreed that they would rather wear boxers. Since they resemble shorts, they also make the lower body look bigger.īoxers help adjust the slight disproportions for those on the skinny side. Boxers – Loose Around The LegsĪs a grown man, you may want underwear that's a little more padded and dresses your thighs up. In short, gents – boxer briefs cover up all manner of sins. ![]() If you think you've got matchstick legs, boxer briefs won't highlight that fact. Unlike briefs, they don't highlight the pain points of a man's body image. They make your legs look more muscular and trim, helping to hide that excess weight you might be carrying at the tops of your thighs.īut what about skinnier guys who have the opposite problem? Boxer briefs can help you too. They're like lean shorts that give your legs that extra sex appeal for the ladies. Boxer Briefs – The Best Of Both Worldsīoxer briefs are the hybrid option when it comes to the three different types of underwear. Your body type is a significant factor – is your belly a little round or flat? Do you have larger or skinny thighs? Your proportions are nothing to be ashamed of, but you need to know which types of men's underwear will suit your frame. There are certain things to consider when researching the different types of men's underwear. You guessed it – that's what I'm covering in today's article. Getting it right isn't rocket science! You only need a basic understanding of the three different types of men's underwear: briefs, boxers, and boxer briefs. It's only underwear – who cares, right?
