3/30/2023 0 Comments History macombo![]() While the ‘realist’ aspect of magical realism signals its relationship to reality past or present, the ‘magical’ component is not quite so obvious. At stake in these debates is the way fiction and non-fiction are woven together, held in tension, and then reconciled in some ways. Despite debates in literary circles about how exactly to define the genre and classify works therein, the brand of magical realism that Gabo employs certainly does seem to capture something quintessentially Latin American. With the novel’s almost immediate success and international popularity, magical realism became closely associated with a specifically Latin American literary style. One Hundred Years of Solitude has become perhaps the most canonical example of the genre magical realism. Perhaps of the fact that Gabo’s work does not classify easily, being neither strictly historical nor exclusively literary, rather, finding a home somewhere in between, is the key to its success this pandemic. If one thing has become clear, it is that at a time when our most banal and routine habits, not to mention our very immediate social and political lives have been abruptly interrupted, history just as much as literature, offers solace and reassures us that, this too, will pass. The practice of quarantine to mitigate the spread of disease, for example, has been available since at least the 14th Century. They can provide us with a tangible set of practices to be implemented, with appropriate modifications of course. ![]() As the old adage tells us, historical models often harbor lessons for the present. Perhaps it is merely a form of escapism, but surely reading whether it be history or literature, is also part of an endeavor to devise a plan of action. ![]() There is, for example, the existentialist take in Albert Camus’ The Plague (1947), or the fantastical, post-apocalyptic Stephen King novel The Stand (1978), two texts that figure prominently on lists of reading material that proliferated during the first couple months of confinement. But aside from these strictly historical sources, literature also provides a way of navigating the crisis. These all seem like intuitive choices given the context. The generalized sense of uncertainty, along with medical precarity, and increasingly visible economic disparities set the backdrop for the constant barrage of news and social media which relay relatively little information about how to go about adjusting to this ‘new normal.’ Trends indicate a recent surge in popularity in studying the history of the 1918 Spanish Flu Epidemic, or in reading Daniel Defoe’s 1772 A Journal of the Plague Year, or even Giovanni Boccaccio’s somewhat more obscure collection of short stories published under the title Decameron in 1353 during Europe’s Black Plague.

How to Improve Your Privacy Online in 3 Quick Steps 3/30/2023 0 Comments Green rumped parrotlet![]() Parrotlets are among the more longer living parrot species, and if their needs are met, parrotlet lifespan can last between 20 to 40 years. Interestingly, Green-rumped parrotlets are the only species without blue feathers on their backs. Of course, blue, yellow, and white parrotlets can be found in the wild and in homes. While there are many color mutations of this species of parrots, the males usually carry a dark blue stripe, while the female have darker green feathers with lighter feathers on their wings and backs.įemales can also display a blue or green streak behind the eyes. The bulky bird is recognisable for its colorful feathers and a short, tapered tail. The most popular pet parrotlet species, the Pacific Parrotlet, are distinct because of their bright green feathers. They also have the shortest individual wingspan of 9 and a half inches. An adult parrotlet can reach the length between 4 and half up to just over 5 inches (approximately 28.5 cm), and a healthy bird will not weight much over an ounce (33 grams). This playful bird is in fact the smallest species of parrots kept as pets. ![]() ![]() Because of this, be careful with parrotlets that haven’t gotten used to children, as they can carry a bite! Characteristics of Parrotlets Physical Parrotlets also display a fearless disposition, so you’ll want to be careful not to tease them, as they can get very defensive of their cages. The highly intelligent parrotlet needs a dynamic environment and lots of exercise, and when tamed they can be very affectionate birds. In captivity, you should feed them with species-appropriate kebbels and small amounts of cut fruit and vegetables. This flocking parrot is known for its foraging for seeds, fruits and vegetables in dry wooded areas, and you’ll want to feed your pet with a combination of small seeds such as oats, buckwheat, safflower and hemp in small amounts, sunflower seeds, green leaves and kibble. Other species that can be found in pet stores are usually either the Mexican Parrotlet, the Spectacled Parrotlet, or the Yellow-faced Parrotlet. Among the many varieties of parrotlets, the ones best suited for pets are members of the species the Pacific parrotlet ( Forpus coelestis ) and the green-rumped parrotlet ( Forpus passerinus ). Parrotlets’ personality, as being known to be one of the quietest, and their training potential help explain why it’s one of the more popular choices.Įndemic to South and Central America, this second smallest bird in the parrot family is a popular pet choice. This cheerful, but territorial bird is a great housepet, with a wide variety of subspecies and colorful plumages. The parrotlet stands to the side as one of the smallest species of parrots in the world, and is in fact the smallest parrot available in shops. There are dozens of different species that can be bought in pet shops today. It has been introduced in Jamaica, Curacao, Barbados and Tobago, and was not recorded on Trinidad prior to 1916.Choosing a pet parrot isn’t as easy as it sounds. It is a resident breeding bird in tropical South America, from Colombia and Trinidad south and east to the Guianas and Brazil. ![]() For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 30% decline over ten years or three generations). 3/30/2023 0 Comments Taurine vitamin![]() Society member access to a journal is achieved in one of the following ways: If you cannot sign in, please contact your librarian.

Vitamin D 3-deficient chicks showed a lower rate of taurine synthesis in the liver when administered 35SO 4 orally, whereas no difference was observed in taurine synthesis or PAPS formation in vitro. ![]() Pyridoxine was associated with sulfotransferase activity as evidenced by decreased in vitro taurine formation from PAPS. Folic acid- and vitamin A-deficient chicks had lower ATP-sulfurylase and APS-kinase activity than the control birds. Chicks were fed diets deficient in thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B 6, folic acid, vitamin A or vitamin D 2 and the sulfate activation and sulfotransferase activities of these birds were assayed. This enzymatic pathway in vitamin-deficient and control chicks was investigated to ascertain the role that vitamin-coenzymes may play in these reactions. Sulfate, activated by the action of ATP-sulfurylase (EC 2.7.7.4) to form adenosinephosphosulfate (APS) and APS-kinase (EC 2.7.1.25) to form 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS), is then transferred to a carbon acceptor by the action of a sulfotransferase (EC 2.8.2). Taurine, a compound present in the tissues of all animals, is known to arise from cystine as well as through the utilization of sulfate-sulfur. 3/30/2023 0 Comments Eye for an eye movie cast![]() There are many other ways your eyes are involved with communication-eye movement, gaze, eye positioning, etc.-but they all include additional body language. ![]() If your lower eyelids get tense, narrowing the eyes, it sends a message that something has your attention, you’re focused, or the beginning of anger or controlled anger.When your bottom eyelids get tense and the upper eyelids raise, just exposing the white above the pupils, it’s often a sign of the beginning of fear or controlled fear.However, if nothing else is moving on your face, the message will be neither positive nor negative. When your upper eyelids raise slightly, it sends a message of some kind of interest, low-level excitement, or something unexpected.If your upper eyelids slightly relax and droop, it can send a message of sadness, fatigue, boredom, or like you’re about to check out.Below are four common messages your eyelids send the viewer-and what they convey on film. Your eyes may be the windows to your soul, but it's your eyelids that are the workhorses of nonverbal communication. Done correctly, with just the smallest amount of tension, the lifting or relaxing of your eyelids can speak volumes to the viewer. To keep facial movement to a minimum and execute any one of those directions listed above would require you having access and control over the muscles around the eye, more specifically, your eyelids. So let’s talk about how knowing the language your face speaks can prepare you for your close-up. And since the close-up is all about the face, this can be a problem. Most actors know how their body and voice communicate but know very little about their own faces. ![]() Could you do that? Or does even the thought of a close-up shot make you freeze? Oh, and they only want to see it in your eyes. Photo Source: Photo by JC Gellidon on Unsplashĭo you fear the close-up? Imagine the camera is locked in on your face and the director or casting director asks you to reveal slight sadness or the beginning of fear or incredibly controlled anger or a hint of excitement or boredom. 3/30/2023 0 Comments Curls blueberry bliss![]() “Confidence comes from the work you put in,” she says of her routines. For Kimble, that looks like staying hydrated, stretching daily, and lathering her body in sweet almond oil. ![]() And that’s where the importance of self-care comes into play. Sometimes jobs run into each other, and it’s hard to say ‘no’ and choose between clients,” she says. “The days can be long, grueling, and exhausting. But her chosen path isn’t always easy, she admits. “What really sold me was seeing the effect it had on people and how they feel after they get their hair done.” Her love affair with hair eventually led her to attend the Universal College of Beauty. “My mother and grandmother did hair, and that’s how I started,” Kimble says of her Chicago upbringing. ![]() “I love all of the amazing people I get to be around, traveling and getting to experience different things and different people.”įor Kimble, who is also the founder of Kim Kimble Hair Care, becoming a talented hairstylist was her destiny. “My favorite part about what I do is the community and working with so many amazing artists who are so great at what they do,” Kimble says. Kim Kimble is likely the mastermind behind many of your favorite celebrity hair looks, whether it’s the magic she’s done as hair-department lead of the hit show Euphoria, Zendaya’s flowing mermaid locks in her Valentino campaign, or perhaps a number of Beyoncé’s iconic moments, from the “Crazy In Love” music video to her Coachella performance and the visuals for Black Is King. ![]() (ships though are pretty nice though if you happen to have a lot of lowbies on board, since ship-weapon damage is the same regardless of who is shooting, and some of the status-effect cannon balls can be useful in lowbie hands). Since ships are nearly useless for actually shooting other players (they deal siege damage which deals crap damage to players but very high damage to ships/buildings), most people despawn their ships when combat starts, since they're actually pretty fragile and the bigger ones require fairly expensive items to replace, which have high alchemy proficiency requirements to make.so it's possible they might not even be available for a month or so after the game fully launches). The increased distance to fall without damage the Firran get is the closest thing to a genuinely powerful PVP abilities, since you can't lower your glider altitude very easily/quickly, and they can fall 10% further before they start taking damage.Ĭlimbing is basically useless, unless you're attacking a Nuian-style battleship (can never remember the name) since you can climb up to the crows nest and wail on enemies while they're stuck on the pole.though that assumes they didn't just despawn their ship. The building benefit though is undermined by the fact that you rarely build anything, unless you're just constantly helping guildies build houses and ships. The Nuian bonus is the most leveling friendly, since it allows you to bounce back quickly if you happen to die. IMO, the Recall cooldown is the best racial of the whole bunch, if you pick a good spot recall to, in terms of time-saved. (the biggest perk is stealing gathering/ore/lumber nodes from Firran gatherers in the wild). Harani do make the best farmers/ranchers though, without question, though in the greater scheme of things it really doesn't matter that much. (The Air-pack from a ship, and Dive Helm both increase underwater breathing time (10 minutes for the pack, 1 minute for the helm), and the Swim fins increase swim speed by 30%). Anyone can get underwater treasures, Elves can just potentially hold their breath 20 seconds longer and swim 10% faster after all other bonuses are considered. ![]() So, it's not as intuitive to set up or use as some rivals. ![]() It feels like there’s always one too many clicks to get the work done."

3/30/2023 0 Comments Astro gaming xbox one chat cableSharing the same design language and aesthetic that the PS5 and its accessories have, the Pulse 3D headset maintains a subtlety in its form - there's no extruding boom mic, and all the tech is discreetly hidden - this is the first major impression we got in testing.Īfter hours of Miles and Astro, I'm happy to report that my ears are never on fire or begging for release from their new PlayStation prison. Sony's official PS5 headset is, unsurprisingly, a top performer and has consistently been one of our favourites. Yes, the Kaira X for PlayStation is a wired headset and this is a big reason that this is a budget option, but it's a braided cord, has a strong right-angle connection, and is the ideal length for having enough slack but without being overly long.įor the price and as a simple wired headset, we can't recommend this excellent Razer PS5 headset enough. ![]() The mic is solid but doesn't quite have the warmth and overall richness to more premium headsets. What's more, the mix and surround sound revealed themselves to be pretty great to us too for this price point. In our testing we found the sound quality provided by Razer's TriForce 50mm drivers within the headset to be predictably excellent and uncompromising - full bass, rich middles, and tight, exquisite highs. Launching with an 'X' variant like the Barracuda means it's not the full-blown premium Kaira for PlayStation that we get first but the Kaira X for PlayStation is still a worthy contender for those looking for great sound for the $60 / £60 mark - which is exceptional value in our eyes.Īnd this point is a key factor in what makes this headset great: the value is really excellent, and the bang for buck is great. ![]() Razer's first PS5 headset is a solid one. 3/30/2023 0 Comments Killer instinct wiki season 3The season premiered on September 26, 2021, airing on Sundays as part of Fox's Animation Domination programming block, along with The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, Duncanville and The Great North. as well as a re-release of the book, "Family Guy: An Illustrated History".
