I remember you 20177/2/2023 While exploring the area, Katrin stumbles upon an old cemetery, with one of the graves missing a headstone. Freyr, who is still reeling from the unsolved disappearance of his own son, Benni, while Benni was playing hide-and-seek with a friend, begins to see visions of Bernódus.In the second plot line, married couple Katrin and Garðar (recovering from a recent estrangement), along with Katrin's best friend Líf, move to a small, abandoned city to renovate an old, decades-abandoned house to turn into a bed and breakfast. Six of the eight have been killed in mysterious accidents and were all found with crosses carved into their backs. She explains that the classmates were known for bullying Bernódus, who had crosses carved on his back from his ultra-religious, abusive father (who blamed him for the death of his wife in childbirth). Dagny shows him a photograph of Bernódus's classmates, with eight of their faces scratched out with crosses. Crosses are found carved into her back, which is assumed to be the result of abuse, but when the dead woman's husband insists he never touched her, policewoman Dagny links the death to the mysterious disappearance of a young boy, Bernódus, who vanished decades earlier. Soon they find that the city guards several dark mysteries.Freyr, a doctor in a city in Iceland, assists local police when an elderly woman is found hanged inside of an old church. A couple moves to a small-abandoned city in Iceland to renovate an old house.

Frank from moment of truth7/2/2023 In the haphazard, almost nonsensical didacticism of “Discipline,” we hear a voice of patriarchal authority withered finally into pure self-parody, happily abdicated by its owner, revealing only the aching plea underneath that his loved ones stay close and stay connected. In the tender “Adventures Nearby,” a father invokes a stock and cautionary “big world out there” story to try to keep his maturing child closer to home, a ruse designed for his own heart’s protection. They take on lost love and missed opportunity in the elegant waltz “I Never Thought of You That Way,” a theme that returns with a keener sense of dissolution and finality in “Devil By Mistake.” Long-time writing partner Richy Vesecky’s blend of observational acumen and surreal playfulness calls to mind Ray Davies matched with Syd Barrett more than any tough American rock poets.Īs skewed and idiosyncratic as their themes can be, Bango and Vesecky always have one eye fixed on the big targets of the heart as well. His melodies are generally free of blues, soul, and folk devices and full of baroque pop implication. His clever chord progressions flow downstream from the Beatles and the Zombies. He is indeed about as anglo as a mature New York songwriter can get, short of pure affectation. By the end, however, they elect this developmentally-appropriate truth as their own they “choose the given,” as the American memoirist Annie Dillard wrote.įrank Bango has suffered a lifetime of Elvis Costello and Graham Parker comparisons, earned as much by his unfailing, articulate melodic imagination as by his treble-forward vocal timbre. Indeed, the personae in these songs frequently try to bargain, reason, and fox their way out of it. The Truth Fox is ripe with a species of wisdom that most people would prefer to avoid if they had the choice. The singer’s essential protective myths-safety, stability, agency, and connection-have eroded past his ability to enforce them any longer. The sum effect is that of a terrible but strangely affirmative clarity, perhaps available only at a certain age. It is an acutely personal passage through karma and regret, but it is synced to a larger sense of culture-wide instability and danger hovering just outside the windows of these emotionally rich and melodically generous pop songs. Scene by scene, a man confronts the isolation, loss, and insecurity of age. With many detours along the way, Frank Bango’s new record The Truth Fox proceeds as a sequence of mid-life reckonings and recognitions. Then the damage done when a man is not a man So he must block out the light so no ones sees Now he might be a lot of things but he's not the man you thought he was. There's no safety when a man is not a man Just to prove he has the power and controlĪnd convince himself that no one understandsīut the terror comes from weakness not from strengthĬausing better men to tremble where they stand Of the pain delivered by the father's hand Where we live and we die and whichever comes firstĪnd he will talk around the truth a thousand ways With a view of the kitchen and a sneaking suspicion that we're not alone Where we live and we die or whichever comes firstĪnd the memory of one thing that used to be something until we drank it up We must imagine this room is the entire universe To the vastness of wall to wall carpeting We Must Imagine This Room Is The Entire Universe (Bango/Vesecky) To gather together neath this December moon To gather together neath this silver moon Just like the woman who slit both her wrists Hung dull and lifeless on a bulletin board We saw a guy who was stabbed by his girlfriendĪn off duty cop, drunk and strapped to a gurneyĪll together on Christmas Eve in the emergency room So now we're spending Christmas Eve in the emergency room We had a gas leak, the same thing as last week On the day I was born I just simply appearedĪnd a pretty young girl who went into labor We come into this life all the same but, my dear We have nothing to fear but the things that we fear In a world full of strangers the problem is clear My unfortunate haircut and the ill-fitting shirtĪnd imagine that someone is holding my hand I don't think this song could go on much longer Cda to wav converter7/2/2023 How to Convert CDA to MP3 on Windows 10 Without Windows Media Playerĭo you want to edit these ripped MP3 files?ĭo you need to record audio on the computer in your daily life?ĭo you need to convert audio files from one format to another?

The potential impact of the gendering of toys on individuals as well as limitations of this research and suggestions for future research are discussed.īakir, A., Blodgett, J. A majority of toys for “both boys and girls” were mostly “gender-neutral” in type, but they resembled toys for “boys only” in terms of their color palette, presumably to appeal to boys, who are less likely to cross gender lines than girls. Pastel colored toys, predominantly pink or purple toys, and those that were dolls, beauty, cosmetics, jewelry, or domestic-oriented typified toys for “girls only”. Tabular analysis and chi-square revealed that bold colored toys, predominantly red, black, brown, or gray toys, and those that were action figures, building toys, weapons, or small vehicles typified toys for “boys only” on this U.S. The marketing of toys on the Disney Store website is important not only because of the growth in e-commerce, but also because of this company’s global domination of the children’s entertainment industry. The sample consisted of the 410 toys listed for boys and the 208 toys listed for girls, including 91 toys that appeared on both lists, on the English language U.S. The purpose of this study was to examine 1) the extent to which the gender marketing of toys on the Internet replicates findings of previous studies of the gendering of toys, and 2) the extent to which toys for “both boys and girls”, a previously overlooked category of toys, share characteristics, such as color and type of toy, with toys marketed for “boys only” or for “girls only”. Big 12 conference teams 20237/1/2023 It’s unclear if the Big 12 is looking to add UConn on a football-only basis or if they would join for all sports. They would join the American Athletic Conference in 2013 and play in the conference until 2019 before returning to being independent in 2020. When it comes to football, the program played one season in 1979 before returning in 2000 and was independent from 2000 through 2003 before playing in the Big East from 2004 through 2012. After being part of the Big East from 1979 through 2012, the Huskies joined the AAC from 2013 through 2019 before joining the Big East once again for all sports except football, once again in 2020. UConn, of course, is familiar with changing conferences. You can read more on San Diego State’s future, here. Of course, one of those schools, San Diego State is also reportedly favored to join the Pac-12 in the near future according to the same report by Dellenger. He also listed Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Utah, San Diego State, and UNLV among those that the conference was targeting. Earlier this week, Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated listed UConn among the schools that the Big 12 was considering when it came to further conference expansion. This is not the first time that UConn and the Big 12 have been brought up together this week. The conversations at this point were considered “very exploratory”. Now, they could be looking to add another program to their conference.Īccording to Russ Steinberg of Boardroom, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark recently visited UConn to meet with the university’s administration. While the Big 12’s activity has been more to limit the potential of its demise, the conference has made strong additions to the conference as of late including BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, and Houston. The college football sports landscape has been everchanging over the last few years and while the Big Ten and SEC have grabbed most of the headlines, the Big 12 has been active in their own right.

It’s good to choose a colour that contrasts well with the background colour of your knitted piece and the weight of the yarn needs to be at least equal to the weight used in the background knitting. Thread the needle with a long length of your chosen yarn. It is better to use a slightly blunt-nosed needle as a sharp needle can split stitches in the knitted fabric and make the whole process a bit more difficult. You will find it easier to work duplicate stitch neatly if your piece of knitting that lies flat so if you’re unsure then best block first. To block or not to block: It’s entirely up to you. For instance in this little heart below I’ve added half a stitch at either end of the top row in order to smooth the curve of the top of the heart. Using duplicate stitch allows you to cheat a little by duplicate stitching just half a stitch.It is not recommended to use a yarn that is thinner (or substantially thicker) than the yarn used for the knitting. For instance you could use a fluffy yarn to work an animal design. Using different yarn types: When using duplicate stitch you can mix different yarn types which might cause problems with tension if used during intarsia knitting.If you’ve knitted in intarsia the whole thing would have to be unpicked. You can also unpick to any point if you realise you’ve made a mistake – just gently undo half a stitch at a time without pulling too hard so as not to pucker the earlier stitches. Unpicking: With duplicate stitch it’s easy to unpick the design completely if you don’t like it any more and your knitted piece is still intact once you remove the design.Using lots of colours: When you knit intarsia using any more than 3 colours it becomes very complicated (and tangled) but working a design in duplicate stitch means that you can incorporate many more colours.It works well for any design that would normally use intarsia and there are some advantages that duplicate stitch has over intarsia: It’s a stitch I use a lot especially on the front of bunny jumpers and some of the more complex dress designs. Duplicate stitch (also known as Swiss darning) is a useful technique for adding a surface design onto an already knitted piece. Handguard with picatinny rails7/1/2023 With more modern versions adding Picatinny style rails onto the sides of the handguards of the rifles for the mounting of additional equipment. On the Kalashnikov rifles, the Warsaw rail is attached to the left side of the receiver when viewed from the rear. Original rails were a raised metal strip with the sides undercut, less standardized than the dovetail design, to allow hardware to slide on and be secured by means of compression only. There are also non-military designs used in shooting sports to attach slings and bipods such as the UIT rail and the Freeland rail. The common types of rail systems for firearms are the dovetail rail, (including the Soviet variant known as the Warsaw Pact rail), the Weaver rail, the Picatinny rail, SOPMOD, and the Magpul M-LOK. Tactical usage and shooting sports have both benefited from the extra options provided.įirearm accessories commonly compatible with or intended for rail systems include tactical lights, laser sights, vertical forward grips, telescopic sights, holographic sights, reflex sights, backup iron sights, bipods/ tripods, slings, and bayonets. An advantage of the multiple rail slots is the moveable positions to adjust for optimal placement of each item for each different user, along with the ability to switch different items at different placements due to varying eye reliefs on gun sights. Rail systems are straight mounting brackets (usually made of strips of metal or polymer) on the gun's receiver, handguard, or fore-end stock to allow sliding or variable-position attachments. A dovetail rail on a rifle receiver for mounting a sightĪ rail integration system ( RIS), rail accessory system ( RAS), rail interface system, or simply rail system, is a generic term for a standardized system for attaching accessories to firearms. Mas transportation boston7/1/2023 Starting with the opening of the Cambridge Railroad on March 26, 1856, a profusion of streetcar lines appeared in Boston under chartered companies. This marked the beginning of the development of American intercity railroads, which in Massachusetts would later become the MBTA Commuter Rail system and the Green Line D branch. The rail, which opened in 1835, connected Boston to Lowell, a major northerly mill town in northeast Massachusetts' Merrimack Valley, via one of the oldest railroads in North America. Shortly after the steam locomotive became practical for mass transportation, the private Boston and Lowell Railroad was chartered in 1830. Development of mass transportation both followed and shaped economic and population patterns. Mass transportation in Boston was provided by private companies, often granted charters by the state legislature for limited monopolies, with powers of eminent domain to establish a right-of-way, until the creation of the MTA in 1947. Planned West End Street Railway system, 1885 consolidation of these lines was complete by 1887. Originally established as an individual department within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the MBTA became a division of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) in 2009. In its first two decades, the MBTA took over the commuter rail system from the private operators and continued expansion of the rapid transit system. The MTA was in turn succeeded in 1964 by the MBTA, with an expanded funding district to subsidize failing suburban commuter rail service. The BERy came under the control of public trustees in 1919, and was subsumed into the fully-publicly owned Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) in 1947. The Boston Elevated Railway (BERy) succeeded the West End in 1897 over the next several decades, the BERy built a partially-publicly owned rapid transit system, beginning with the Tremont Street subway in 1897. The various horsecar companies were consolidated under the West End Street Railway in the 1880s and electrified over the next decade. Privately operated transit in Boston began with commuter rail in 1834 and horsecar lines in 1856. The MBTA is the successor of several previous public and private operators. As of the fourth quarter of 2022, average weekday ridership of the commuter rail system was 78,800, making it the fifth-busiest commuter rail system in the U.S. In 2022, the system had a ridership of 216,329,500, or about 724,500 per weekday as of the fourth quarter of 2022, of which the rapid transit lines averaged 273,000 and the light rail lines 90,700, making it the fourth-busiest rapid transit system and the third-busiest light rail system in the United States. The MBTA transit network includes the MBTA subway with three metro lines (the Blue, Orange, and Red lines), two light rail lines (the Green and Ashmont–Mattapan lines), and a five-line bus rapid transit system (the Silver Line) MBTA bus local and express service the twelve-line MBTA Commuter Rail system, and several ferry routes. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (abbreviated MBTA and known colloquially as " the T") is the public agency responsible for operating most public transportation services in Greater Boston, Massachusetts.
