1/22/2024 0 Comments Kobo abe gyoza![]() Abe spent most of his youth living in a Japanese colony in Mukden with his father and his mother, Yorimi. ![]() ![]() Abe’s father, Asakichi, a citizen of Japan and a physician, had a medical clinic in Mukden, Manchuria, where he would return with his family one year after his son’s birth. On March 7, 1924, while his father was conducting research in Tokyo, Japan, Kobo Abe was born. By taking the ordinary object of a stick and personifying it, Abe hoped to shake his audiences out of their “fake dreams.” AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY In Abe’s metaphor, the rigidity of staunchly held beliefs that contradict one’s existence causes people to turn into sticks. In essence, however, these sentiments are the backbone upon which The Man Who Turned into a Stick was built. As Abe told Nancy Shields in her book Fake Fish, “The more we become free from the framework of reality the more clearly we get the real experience which corresponds to the fake experience in a dream.” That this statement is not easy to comprehend is also typical of Abe. His plays are built upon dreamlike images, uneasy to grasp. The audience must therefore participate in the play and consider its meaning on a more personal level.Ībe enjoyed complexities and ambiguities because he believed that it was through confronting uncertainty that people would break out of their rigid (or stick-like), preprogrammed thoughts. In The Man Who Turned into a Stick, he not only presents obscure characters and dialogue that demand attention, he deliberately ends his play with one of the characters pointing directly at the audience and telling the people sitting there that they all resemble sticks. He liked that his plays made people feel uncomfortable because he believed that it was through this discomfort that people would begin to question their own lives rather than perfunctorily accept their fate. ![]() Abe did not like to write plays for passive audiences. The first play of the set, The Suitcase, was subtitled Birth the second play, The Cliff of Time, was subtitled Process and the third, The Man Who Turned into a Stick was given the subtitle Death.Įven with the subtitle suggesting a theme, The Man Who Turned into a Stick is not a play that is easily understood, and many people believe that that is exactly how Abe wanted it. The individual plays in the revised series were then given subtitles. Whenever Abe presented The Man Who Turned into a Stick, a short, one-act play, he joined it to two other short plays but in the 1976 version, a new and more specific sequence came to Abe’s mind, one he believed made the three-play set more comprehensive. However, it was not until Kobo Abe directed the play in his own Kobo Abe Studio in 1976 that the play reached, in Abe’s mind, a level of completion. The first performance of The Man Who Turned into a Stick was staged at Kinokuniya Hall in Tokyo in 1967. ![]()

Listed at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Irving has always been an easy target for opposing offenses to hunt, and he’s been a net-negative on that end for all but one year of his career during the player-tracking era. The most obvious culprit for Irving’s less-impressive-than-expected numbers here is his defense. *Irving did not reach the minutes threshold to qualify for the RAPTOR leaderboard, so these rankings are based off of his numbers in the minutes he did play. Regular-season RAPTOR metrics for Kyrie Irving by NBA season, 2013-14 to 2021-22, with rankings among qualified players Year For a player whose observable skill set has long confounded the advanced metrics, it’s fitting that RAPTOR sees Irving’s impact differently than the conventional wisdom does: ![]() On a per-possession basis, Irving has cracked the top 25 of FiveThirtyEight’s regular-season Total RAPTOR metric just once since arriving in Brooklyn for the 2019-20 season, and in his career he’s reached that benchmark fewer times (four) than he’s fallen outside of it (five). ![]() And watching Irving certainly leaves you dazzled: You’d be hard-pressed to find a more maddening cover on defense, equipped with an arsenal of how-did-he-think-of-that moves and the slipperiness to evade even the rangiest and most committed of stoppers.īut Irving’s status as the darling of basketball aesthetes everywhere has obscured his overall contributions to winning basketball - even in the rare cases when he’s on the floor. Contemporaries have often called him the most skilled player in the history of the NBA, with some going as far to say he ranks among the league’s 75 best players ever. Throughout Kyrie Irving’s many basketball hiatuses over the years - whether due to injuries, refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine or, most recently, suspension for promoting an anti-Semitic documentary - the mercurial star’s on-court brilliance has rarely been questioned. Even when Kyrie Irving plays, measuring his impact is not straightforward. ![]() 1/22/2024 0 Comments Peregrine falcon speed not diving![]() ![]() (You will need to register / login for access)Ĭomments below may relate to previous holders of this record.

The data from all four devices were compared after the dives.įranklin and Frightful's dive experiments were the focus of a National Geographic Explorer documentary entitled Terminal Velocity, which was filmed in 1999 and aired in 2002. Altimeters were also attached to Franklin and a cameraman, who skydived with Frightful during the dives, as well as the lure released to simulate prey for Frightful to chase. To measure Frightful's mid-dive speed, Franklin – working with mathematicians and engineers – used an innovative technique, fastening a 113.4-gram (4-oz) computer chip taken from a a skydiver’s Pro-Track recording altimeter/computer to Frightful’s tail feathers and measured how far she fell in a certain time interval. Frightful, then a six-year-old, 40.64-cm-long (16-in) bird weighing 997.9 grams (2.2 lb), had wings open to a full 104.14-cm (41-in) span.

Mark Springer is a freelance writer and editor. There won’t be a better time to make the leap. The class is for current Scrivener MacOS users who want to fast-forward through version 3’s learning curve. If you’re still on the fence about jumping into the upgrade on your own, I’ll be covering all the new features of Scrivener 3 for MacOS in detail during my Lit Fest weekend intensive, June 9 and 10. It’s impossible to list every improvement here. With the new Corkboard feature, it is now possible to see the scenes or chapters of your manuscript arranged in parallel threads that correspond to character POV, theme, subplot, timeline, or whatever element makes the most sense to you. Other highlights of the update include better search tools, a cleaner user interface with a more modern look and feel, and a new feature that makes it easier to use the Corkboard tool to storyboard and visualize narrative structure. No more hunting through a convoluted list of confusing options and running a full compile to find out whether a particular combination produces the output you want. Plus, you can now create, edit, and test your output formats in a visual interface. With Scrivener 3, you now have greater control over your manuscript’s structure, including the ability to explicitly identify chapters and scenes. The workaround was to use Scrivener’s default Compile settings and then use another program like Microsoft Word to go through your compiled manuscript to adjust the output to your liking. It wasn’t always clear how Scrivener was interpreting your manuscript’s structure or how it would format things like chapter titles and scene breaks. ![]() In the past, it was often difficult to make sense of the many options that were supposed to help you assemble the scenes and chapters of your manuscript into a customized file for output. One of the best parts of the update is that Scrivener’s all-important Compile feature is now easier to use and more flexible. There’s a bit of a re-learning curve, but the improvements that come with the new version are worth the effort. Now is the time to make the leap to Scrivener 3. I’m here to tell you: Resist the temptation to procrastinate. You’re happy with the old version of Scrivener and probably wondering, as I did, if you can keep using it forever and ever and ever. But as a writer and self-avowed creature of habit, the thought of learning new features and a refreshed user interface had me looking for excuses to put it off. As a former software guy, I’ll concede that the update is long overdue. The developer released version 3 for MacOS late last year, with the Windows edition scheduled to follow in the next few months. If you’re a writer who uses Scrivener, then you probably know the software is due for an upgrade. Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity, and Access (EDIA).Check out the rest of the info on the release here.

After dozens of candidates and a twice-delayed pilot shooting, Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas were chosen as the vice cops. Larry Wilcox, of CHiPs, was also a candidate for the role of Crockett, but the producers felt going from one police officer role to another would not be a good fit. Mickey Rourke was also considered for the role, but he turned down the offer. Nick Nolte and Jeff Bridges were considered for the role of Sonny Crockett, but since it was not lucrative for film stars to venture into television at the time, other candidates were considered. It is mixed in stereo for its entire run. Miami Vice was one of the first American network television programs to be broadcast in stereophonic sound. Michael knows how things are going to look on camera. One will be white, one will be black, one will be silver. If the script says "A Mercedes pulls up here," the car people will show you three or four different Mercedes. There are certain colors you are not allowed to shoot, such as red and brown. A director of Miami Vice, Bobby Roth, recalled: Influenced by an Art Deco revival, no " earth tones" were allowed to be used in the production by executive producer Michael Mann. While the first few episodes contain elements of a standard police procedural, the producers soon abandoned them in favor of a more distinctive style. Katzin, one of the show's directors, remarked, "The show is written for an MTV audience, which is more interested in images, emotions and energy than plot and character and words." These elements made the series into an instant hit, and in its first season saw an unprecedented fifteen Emmy Award nominations. As such, segments of Miami Vice sometimes used music-based stanzas, a technique later featured in Baywatch. The choice of music and cinematography borrowed heavily from the emerging New Wave culture of the 1980s. Miami has become a sort of Barbary Coast of free enterprise gone berserk. There is a fascinating amount of service industries that revolve around the drug trade-money laundering, bail bondsmen, attorneys who service drug smugglers. It seemed to be an interesting socio-economic tide pool: the incredible number of refugees from Central America and Cuba, the already extensive Cuban-American community, and on top of all that the drug trade. Co-executive producer Yerkovich explained:Įven when I was on Hill Street Blues, I was collecting information on Miami, I thought of it as a sort of a modern-day American Casablanca. The detectives repeatedly refer to the " Whac-A-Mole" nature of drug interdiction, with its parade of drug cartels quickly replacing those that are apprehended. ![]() An undercurrent of cynicism and futility underlies the entire series. Episodes often end in an intense gun battle, claiming the lives of several criminals before they can be apprehended. In keeping with the show's title, most episodes focus on combating drug trafficking and prostitution. Yerkovich was immediately drawn to South Florida as a setting for his new-style police show. Yerkovich then wrote a script for a two-hour pilot, titled Gold Coast, but later renamed it Miami Vice. The initial idea was for a movie about a pair of vice cops in Miami. ![]() Yerkovich, however, has indicated he devised the concept after learning about asset forfeiture statutes allowing law enforcement agencies to confiscate the property of drug dealers for official use. One version of events states that the head of NBC's Entertainment Division, Brandon Tartikoff, wrote a brainstorming memo that simply read " MTV cops", and later presented it to series creator Anthony Yerkovich, formerly a writer and producer for Hill Street Blues. Michael Mann directed a film adaptation of the series, which was released July 28, 2006. People magazine states that Miami Vice was the "first show to look really new and different since color TV was invented". Unlike standard police procedurals, the show drew heavily upon 1980s New Wave culture and is noted for its integration of contemporary pop and rock music and stylish or stylized visuals. The USA Network began airing reruns in 1988 and broadcast a previously unaired episode during its syndication run of the series on January 25, 1990. The series ran for five seasons on NBC from 1984 to 1989. The series stars Don Johnson as James "Sonny" Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, two Metro-Dade Police Department detectives working undercover in Miami. Miami Vice is an American crime drama television series created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann for NBC. ![]() 1/21/2024 0 Comments Jiffy mexican cornbread casserole![]() ![]() ![]() Truthfully, I don’t have a recipe card box.

Cheddar jack, Mexican blend or pepper jack cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese.Replace the diced jalapenos with diced green chiles to tone down the spice level even more.Substitute the hot sauce with a mild sauce to tone down the spice level.Replace the hot sausage with mild sausage if you’re sensitive to spicy foods.Like I said earlier, this recipe can be easily adapted. I recommend my mexican pinto beans or some delicious refried black beans. But to stretch it out, serve it with some sides. I had heard of it many times before but I didn’t know it was this good!

Preheat your oven to 350 and spray a 9×13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Mix together the corn muffin mix, eggs, milk and cream style corn in a large mixing bowl. Once done transfer the sausage to a paper towel lined plate to drain. I like to fry it to the point that it starts to caramelize a bit. I used hot sausage but you can definitely use a mild one to tone down the spiciness of this dish. The first thing you have to do is fry the sausage. The corn adds moisture as well as texture and flavor. I use regular 2% milk however full fat milk will work too. The eggs, milk and cream style corn is what’s going to keep the cornbread moist. It allows for a more authentic corn bread with a thicker density. There’s nothing worse than smelling cornbread baking in the oven and expecting the most luscious and delicious slice only to end up with a dry and crumbly mess.įor this recipe I am using two boxes of the almost instant cornbread mix.
