Adobe creative cloud mac12/11/2023 ![]() How do you replace that? Like the others, it depends on what you need most and how much you want to spend. If you need crystal clear document formatting that has a few art editing tools, that’s when you open up InDesign. InDesign is the de-facto industrial publishing application, used for everything from receipt design to laying out a deck of cards for printing to designing an instruction manual PDF. It is $49.99 for Pro, $219.99 for EX, there is no subscription fee, and you can upgrade from Pro to EX for just the difference between the two.

Lots of these are features Photoshop doesn’t have at all.

So, to every kinky-haired girl looking in the mirror frustrated with what they see, cringing as the comb gets stuck in their coily strands, tempted by the allure of the “ creamy crack :” remember that history proves the actual reason your hair is considered unruly is that it’s so beautiful, it has the potential to upend white supremacy.Do you sell haircare and styling products or a broad selection of hats and headwear? Don't forget about do rags as you update and diversify your product offerings. We’re slowly, but surely, changing society’s definition of beauty. According to research firm Mintel, 71% of Black adults wore their hair natural at least once in 2016 and “Black spending on relaxers dropped 30.8% between 20.” More and more Black women, like myself, are becoming comfortable with our hair standing out and standing up. From the world bearing witness to women like Lupita Nyong’o and Viola Davis of Black Panther as they grace screens and stages worldwide, to our former First Lady rocking her natural hair. Here we are, taking off our metaphoric tignons and embracing our kinks and curls publicly. So much so, that I, like many Black women, am forced to bob and weave as I politely sing Solange’s black girl anthem, “Don’t Touch My Hair,” when curious hands come my way.įor More Stories Like This, Sign Up for Our Newsletter It’s 2018, and natural hair still catches many people off guard. Still today, the act of not manipulating my hair is perceived as radical to a certain extent. My hair is no longer criminal (despite the fact that my skin appears to be, considering the fates of Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Alton Sterling, and many others), but it still causes some people discomfort. But have things changed for Black women’s hair? In a sense, yes. So where are we now? In the centuries since, we’ve seen the abolition of slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, and the first Black president of the United States. As Ze Winters notes in The Mulatta Concubine: Terror, Intimacy, Freedom, and Desire in the Black Transatlantic, “Charles III of Spain demanded that the colonial governor of Louisiana ‘establish public order and proper standards of morality,’ with specific reference to a ‘large class of ‘mulattos’ and particularly “mulatto’ women.” And with that came an increase in interracial relationships, to the dismay of colonial authorities. This was because some people of African descent were newly able to make money, buy their freedom, and subsequently increase the free Black population. In the late 18th century, new economic opportunities and growth led to an increase in the free African and African-American populations of New Orleans. Yes, their hair was so damn beautiful that it was illegal. ![]() Some of those women were even seen as being so beautiful that laws were put in place in an effort to diminish their beauty. ![]() I wish I had known then that women who looked like me proudly wore their hair natural and kinky in America centuries before. Because it seemed to confirm that my hair should be disguised and tamed that if I didn’t chemically change it, it should be tucked away.

Typewriter wireless keyboard12/10/2023 If there's a downside, it's that this keyboard doesn't come in a variety of switch options, and its full-size form factor means it may take up too much space on small desks.

28 days later movie12/10/2023 ![]() It is hard not to think of the TV images of Ground Zero or of Baghdad devastated by war when watching 28 Days Later‘s scenes of destruction, all shot on DV. Hence it anticipates, and is contemporaneous with, 9/11. In fact the movie began shooting on September 1, 2001. Not to mention the current SARS epidemic. After all, the rage virus seems as uncontrollable as a biological/chemical attack or a suicide bombing. Nevertheless, the film’s real interest lies in its relationship to contemporary events-or how its plot can fit different political backdrops-and it is tempting to read it in terms of the world’s current state of affairs. In that sense, the film is just one more in a genre that includes Night of the Living Dead, The Thing, Virus-which is not to deny Boyle’s unquestionable talent. The group sleeps amidst debris in deserted buildings, eats canned food gleaned from an abandoned supermarket, fights off the Infected, and worries about having to kill one another in the event that one of them becomes contaminated.Ģ8 Days Later aligns itself with the typical loss-of-individuality plot-once an individual is infected, their humanity gives way to the monstrous. With few exceptions, those who haven’t fled the country after the outbreak are either dead or have become “the infected.” And it is with these survivors-Selena (Naomi Harris), widowed Frank (Brendan Gleeson), and his teenage daughter Hannah (Megan Burns)-that Jim will struggle to stay alive. Finding the hospital abandoned, he walks out and wanders through the empty London streets. The film then cuts to a young man named Jim (Cillian Murphy) waking up from a 28-day coma following a car accident. The epidemic begins with chimps infected with “rage” (as part of research into what we presume is a cure for violent impulses) liberated by animal rights activists. In all, 28 Weeks Later improves upon 'Days' scares, story, characters, and plot to make for one exciting entry in the horror/sci-fi/drama genre.The movie starts with the usual sci-fi tropes: mankind’s experiments go haywire with destructive results. And when you can't see where the terror is coming from in a horror film than you're in for something special. With a horror film, you expect there to be an ample amount of deaths, but the way in which Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directs the deaths is terrifyingly unexpected. Yeah, I'm looking at you every other horror film, it's cool to make them run.īut perhaps the biggest compliment I can give to the film is its utterly unpredictable. ![]() ![]() Adding to that experience are running zombies. That could lead to pacing and character issues, but with a non-stop action-horror, it actually works to the benefit of the experience. That partly because it's only 100 minutes long, but mostly because the film never takes a breath. All of which, do a wonderful job in roles that aren't necessarily flushed out. Not only do you have some nice lead turns from Robert Carlyle and Catherine McCormack, but you have Idris Elba, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, and Imogen Poots before they became famous. I also found the cast to be quite impressive. So, in that way I like what the film tried to do. Usually we either see everything as the apocalypse is going down, or maybe several years later. Implausible probably, but we've never really seen an apocalyptic series that attempts to go back and restart civilization from the same area. Of course, apparently it was a good idea for the military to reoccupy London and start building up a civilization again, even though it was the center of disaster only a half a year earlier. 28 Weeks Later picks up after London is deemed safe and virus free, as the undead have starved to death after the events of the previous film. Similar to how the Cloverfield films are related but not directly tied in, 28 Days Later is a prequel of sorts, but the characters and plot are entirely different. There's something so glorious about seeing the streets of London be a wasteland that only occupies a select few living and undead. But there's something about the '28' series that really hits well for me. The 21st century has been flooded with films and TV shows about zombie apocalypses, so it's difficult for any of them to stand out and feel completely fresh.

Carrot apple juice benefits12/10/2023 ![]() Organic varieties are more commonly available in the cloudy form. The majority of store-bought apple juice is clear in appearance, meaning you can easily see through it. One analysis found that cloudy apple juice had up to 62% more polyphenols than clear juice ( 7). Oxidative damage in their blood was suppressed within 30 minutes of drinking the juice, and this effect continued for up to 90 minutes ( 9).įor more polyphenols, opt for cloudy juice - which contains pulp - rather than clear, which has the pulp removed ( 7). In one study, healthy men drank a 2/3 cup (160 ml) of apple juice, then scientists drew their blood. Both of these processes are underlying factors in chronic conditions, including certain cancers and heart disease ( 8). These plant compounds may protect your cells from inflammation and oxidative damage. While the majority of these compounds are in the peel, some from the apple flesh are retained in the juice ( 7). To avoid sideĮffects, dilute to half-strength when using it to rehydrate after an illness.Īpples are rich in plant compounds, particularly polyphenols. Water and tastes good, making it a good choice for hydrating. Though the amount of potassium in apple juice is similar to electrolyte drinks, it has little sodium, which is also lost via bodily fluids when you’re sick ( 1, 2, 3). In more severe cases of dehydration, medicinal electrolyte drinks are still advised. ![]() They’re also relatively expensive.ĭiluted apple juice is a practical and pleasant alternative for kids, as well as adults ( 4).īe sure to drink diluted juice to rehydrate, as the high sugar content of full-strength juice can draw excess water into your gut and worsen diarrhea - particularly during recovery from illness ( 5, 6). Though electrolyte drinks are specially formulated to rehydrate, some children don’t like the taste and won’t drink them. In a study of mildly dehydrated children with diarrhea and vomiting, those offered diluted apple juice were 6.5% less likely to need fluids delivered via their veins than those given a medicinal electrolyte drink ( 4). In fact, some pediatricians recommend half-strength apple juice - a mix of half juice, half water - for sick kids who are mildly dehydrated and at least one year old ( 2, 3). ![]() This makes it easy to consume - especially for those who are sick and at an increased risk of dehydration ( 1). Apple juice is 88% water and tastes good.

Xbox one two player games12/10/2023 Regardless of what players check out, there's no denying that the bond players share while playing these intense story-driven experiences will be something truly magical. Two players can explore the park together, with the main player. Find co-op news, reviews, and more info about this game. ![]() A duo can enjoy titles with either scripted storylines, emergent narratives, or a mix of both. Co-Op gameplay information about Disneyland Adventures on Xbox One. There are many great co-op games with fun stories that players can check out for themselves, encompassing a wide variety of genres and gameplay styles. There are many titles in modern times that use the mechanic of co-op gaming to tell some truly great stories. 31 Halo Infinite (Multiplayer) While Halo Infinites split-screen campaign will unfortunately never be officially released, you can still kick back and play its multiplayer alongside your trusty Spartan companion. After all, most story-driven games are single-player experiences that players need to experience all by their lonesome. Updated on July 9, 2023, by Ritwik Mitra: It's one thing for a game to have an immersive story, but it's a completely different ballgame when said narrative is so compelling that two people get completely invested in the proceedings. Co-op games have come a long way over the years and can pull both players along in such a way that they get an incredible shared experience. When watching something, this is easy, but when it comes to a game, both players need to be fully immersed in the story for it to have the greatest impact. Like with movies and TV shows, the experience can be greatly enhanced by getting to experience them with other people. Good news when there are more than three friends. However, unlike the extinct flightless bird, side-by-side multiplayer occasionally grows. When a game constructs a story that pushes the player's emotions to the forefront, it shows why storytelling through an interactive medium can be so much more impactful than a passive medium. 3 Worms W.M.D (2-6 Players Local) Worms W.M.D is one of the rare multiplayer games that can actually be played with more than four people locally.

2022 dallas mavericks roster12/10/2023 ![]() While this is true, KD going there changed everything. They’re trying to put win now pieces around Hali, not give up starters.ģ. They are a bad team but their core has made it clear they want to compete for playoffs, they didn’t tank this yr or plan to. Also they’re not really in rebuild mode either. They got rid of a bonafide all star in Sabonis to give him the keys at center, they’re not moving on from him for nothing after that. ![]() Turner is no longer on the block now that the tandem of him and Haliburton looks really promising for years to come. Their bench is a much bigger issue than their starters but if they do move on from Allen (who was an all star in 2022) what does Dallas offer that makes them better and can fill the hole at C? They don’t want Green and draft picks lol they’re not in rebuild mode with Mitchell there.Ģ. The obvious plan for Cavs is to run it back with the same group & bet on the development of Garland/Mobley. Outside of 4 and 5 you couldn’t have got these more wrong tbh.ġ. running it back with the entire rotation minus christian wood and expecting a different result would be actually idiotic. so if luka, hardy, green, and bertans are the only players leftover from this season, and dallas has managed to reload with some clever signings, S&Ts, trades, etc, then that's a success. what is accomplished there? do you think they are going to trade hardaway and mcgee for a superstar that makes it ok that the bench is horrible?ĭallas is likely stuck with bertans unless they luck into a trade where his contract is necessary to make the money work (he's effectively on an expiring, so it actually could happen). keeping it together would be a disaster, especially considering dallas has no cap or trade assets in the meantime. this team sucks and proved it sucks by how it performed after the irving trade. It's insane to me that there are 8 guys on this roster (or more!) that you all would want to keep. everyone else can go, including kyrie, ideally in a S&T. The only players i would keep are luka, hardy, and green. Can it be extracted from some of our current players or is a larger overhaul necessary? The identity of this team has been compromised, and with two large holes in the roster, the Mavericks is on a search for both talent and chemistry. When Jalen Brunson left, it seemed that the team was stripped of more than just a great talent. Nico Harrison needs to decide which current players will fit the mold of a team with championship aspirations. While another player can fill these holes, the potential of a 2023 first round draft pick could also look to add value to this core. DFS and Reggie Bullock looked solid last season but, with DFS in Brooklyn and Reggie regressing, only Josh Green looks qualified on the floor. The next need is a defensive wing who can guard wings. This may be more of a question of whether Jason Kidd understands how to utilize a big man, but it's understood that in order to win a title we will need a player that fits the bill of a championship big. With as many big men as the Mavericks had on contract, there was no solidarity with the center position. The Mavericks had one of the lowest defensive ratings post-trade deadline. The #1 need of this team is a consistent defensive big. Players To Keep (Barring a Trade to Improve the Team): Here is the how each of the player groups can be categorized: With the goal to re-sign Kyrie and build upon their defense with a true center and defensive wings, Nico Harrison has a large task of deciding whether to commit to many long-time Mavericks players. Guarantee increases to full if not waived by June 30, 2024.As we wait for May 16th, the Mavericks (like their fans) are left ample time to decide on if each player on their roster is a fit to the identity of a championship level team. Jaden Hardy: Only $400,000 guaranteed in 2024/25, HoopsHype has learned.Contract becomes fully guaranteed if not waived by August 1, 2023. Greg Brown: No money guaranteed in 2023/24, HoopsHype has learned.Guarantee increases to full if not waived on or before the later of two days after the 2024 draft or June 22, 2024. Dante Exum: No money guaranteed in 2024/25, HoopsHype has learned.Guarantee increases to full if not waived on or before the day after the 2024 draft. Seth Curry: No money guaranteed in 2024/25, HoopsHype has learned.Maxi Kleber: He can make $150,000 for making an All-Defensive Team, $75,000 for shooting 80-plus percent from the free-throw line and $150,000 for shooting 40-plus percent from three, according to Bobby Marks.Luka Doncic's contract includes a 15 percen trade kicker, according to Bobby Marks.

Google keyboard gif12/9/2023 ![]() ![]() (keep in mind that websites like Gifycat make HTML5 videos which look better than regular GIFs. This is a good option if you want a ton of control over your GIF. If that doesn’t work, try restarting your iPhone or iPad. In a Digital Art Software: You can create GIFs in Photoshop, GIMP, Sketchbook, and other popular digital art applications, but it's a pain in the neck. To fix the issue, remove Gboard from your list, and then add it back.(You can also make GIFs from the Google Gboard on Android and iOS.) You drop a video into the GIF maker and trim it to your needs. GIPHY CAM ( iOS/ Android) and GIF Maker ( iOS/ Android) are the most popular GIF-making apps. From an App: Yes, you can make GIFs on the go.Then, it'll give you some options to trim and customize your GIF. Upload a video to the GIF creator, or hand it a YouTube or Vimeo link. We'd suggest using Imgur, Gifycat, or GIPHY's video-to-GIF tools, as they're easy to use and they produce HTML5 videos that are technically better than actual GIF files. GIF-Making Websites: There's a ton of GIF-making websites.Here are the best platforms for creating GIFs: GIFs Are Easy to Make: Why move to a new format when GIFs are so easy to make? GIF-making websites have been around for eons, and most photo editing software can be used to make GIFs.Many websites used Adobe's Flash plug-in for videos, but Flash didn't work on mobile devices like iPhones. This meant that it was easier to share GIFs than actual videos, so GIFs stuck around. HTML Didn't Support Video: Before HTML5 launched in 2014, the HTML standard didn't support video.(In other words, if this animation doesn't work, then you're using an out-of-date version of the Edge browser.) All browsers have supported animated GIFs for a long time now. Need a specific example? Mozilla's APNG format came out in 2008, but the Microsoft Edge browser only began to support the format this year. All Browsers Are Different: Browsers have their quirks, and sometimes one stinkin' browser can prevent the web from moving forward. ![]() There are many reasons why GIF has managed to stick around, but for the sake of time, we're just going to give you the three big reasons now: Mozilla's APNG (animated PNG) format was created to replace GIF ten years ago, but that didn't work out at all. People have tried to replace the GIF format. The GIF format also doesn't support semi-transparency, and GIFs often have a large file size (more than MP4 video files) because they're uncompressed. GIF files are 8-bit, which means that they're restricted to 256 colors and almost always look like crap. Honestly, GIF is a terribly outdated format. |
