![]() Clearly hurt by this, Greg asked her to talk like a real person, and she admitted that she didn't have a real sense of humanity and had no idea how human love worked. However, when it didn't work, Rose laughed at his attempt and acted generally insensitive towards him. Greg later attempted to fuse with Rose, hoping to strengthen their relationship and gain a better understanding of each other. This led Pearl to initially believe that there wasn't much between them, confronting him with the idea that their "love" was only a phase and that his novelty would soon wear off. Rose didn't fully comprehend the depths of human love in the early stages of her relationship with Greg, and was very confused when he tried to explain the concept of genuine affection to her. However, Rose still didn't fully understand humans at that point, falsely believing that human babies and adults were two different species until she learned otherwise. She was described by Pearl and Greg as someone who "always did what she wanted." Rose tended to explore the cities and socialize much more than the rest of the Crystal Gems, who secluded themselves from the rest of the world until Steven's birth. She also described them as "funny" and "adorable."ĭespite her role in the Rebellion and its consequences, Rose had a curious, adventurous, and fun-loving personality, greatly resembling that of her human son Steven. In the same manner Rose showed displeasure towards her fellow Gems' natures and traditions, becoming somber when reflecting on their static predestined existences in " Greg the Babysitter" and admitting that she never missed her old home in " Story for Steven." This discontent sparked her fascination in humans who are always growing, changing and redefining themselves. ![]() Her doctrine was that Gems can take control of their own identities and her race's limited displays of individuality was a conviction forced upon them. Her capacity for empathy led her to establish the Rebellion and the Crystal Gems after exploring Earth and its inhabitants.Īccording to Bismuth, Rose was an atypical Gem, choosing to be different and encouraging other Gems to be as well rather than living in accordance with the Caste System's values. She was said to see the beauty in everything, "no matter how gross" it was, showing how she treated everyone as equals. In " An Indirect Kiss," she was described as feeling great sorrow when her loved ones were hurt. Rose speaking to Steven through a recording in "Lion 3: Straight to Video".Ī natural leader, Rose Quartz had a loving and motherly personality. And she really loved music, and she really loved Dad. ![]() Mom saw the beauty in everything! She really loved humans and all human stuff, and also plants and animals and everything on Earth, I think. It had a star-shaped cutout in the navel area showing her gem. In truth, the first time Pink Diamond took the form of Rose she was in that uniform, pretending to be one of the soldiers created on Earth to blend in with her subjects.Īfter she defected from Homeworld, Rose wore a strapless, floor-length, white and pink dress with its multiple layers resembling the petals of a rose. Garnet's story in " Your Mother and Mine" shows Rose shapeshifting out of her standard Homeworld uniform. Her gemstone was located where a human navel is. She had pale peach skin, defined pink lips, bright black eyes, and long, curly pink hair styled in thick ringlets. Rose Quartz was taller and had a heavier build than the other Crystal Gems, standing at approximately eight feet (similar to the Amethysts from the Prime Kindergarten, as seen in " Now We're Only Falling Apart").

7/23/2023 0 Comments Rest in power phrase![]() That kind of representation is vital in order to shift the narrative of what Africa is and can be.” On the meaning of the ‘Wakanda Forever’ phrase and hand gesture But the films take these cultural influences and then also imagine what these civilizations could look like in the future. ![]() In a historical sense, both Black Panther films allude to real cultures and traditions from Kemet, Ethiopia, Mali, Ghana and Songhai. They’re not props to advance storylines or secondary ancillary characters. One that stands out to me is that the women are fully actualized people. What we do see is this broader sense of humanity acknowledged and affirmed, and we see that in a variety of ways. For example, we don’t see patriarchy or sexism or racism in Wakanda. It’s a society that’s free of disease, free of poverty, free of the ‘isms’ that plague other civilizations across the globe. Wakanda is this technologically advanced society, a kingdom that has never been conquered. In some ways it’s the Afrofuturist imagination of what Africa could be. Wakanda represents Africa in its fullest glory. If you consider stories like Tarzan, Zulu, Jungle Jitters from Looney Toons, they depicted Africa in very primitive and debased ways as if it was a land teeming with savages who were eating each other and living in the Dark Ages. “This representation of Wakanda defies the past representation of Africa that happened throughout modern pop culture. This article contains spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.Įric Lovett, Joe Schreiber, Ashleigh DeLuca On what the country of Wakanda represents In this article, he breaks down the symbolism, themes and deeper meanings that can be found in Wakanda Forever, and what we can expect to see in the next Black Panther stories from Marvel. With the release of the Black Panther sequel Wakanda Forever, Welbeck sees clear reflections of our world’s experience of grief, resilience, political division and long-lasting impact of colonialism. So when Marvel Studios released the first Black Panther movie in 2018, he was understandably elated by the meticulous depictions of the film, writing for WHYY that “the magnificence of Black Panther is in its reimagining of Africa.” Comic books may still be an underappreciated genre of literature, but Welbeck knew transforming them into films would allow society to start doing the same kind of processing of our real-world issues, particularly regarding race. To Welbeck, comic books are a mirrored version of our world where there is freedom to explore and analyze the issues that plague us in the real world. But as an assistant professor who is constantly encouraging his students to look at things more deeply, he feels many are missing out on the magic that lies just beneath the surface of those neat rows of comic panels. Welbeck is quick to acknowledge that people still, just as they did when he was a child, dismiss comic books as a lowbrow leisure activity. ![]() When Timothy Welbeck is not teaching Africology and African American studies at Temple University, leading the development of the university’s new Center for Anti-Racism, meeting with students, or grading papers, he finds refuge from his busy academic life within the colorful pages of comic books. 7/23/2023 0 Comments Ledp260c godox![]() Battery plate accepts two optional Sony L-series batteries, ideal for portable operation Superior SMD leds Godox LEDP-260C led key light measures 14.17x9.44 inch, equipped with 256pcs SMD leds which illuminates steady, acrylic guide plate.AC adapter included for wired use with a power outlet.On-board control via dial and two buttons, with an LCD screen for viewing settings Godox LEDP260C Overview Designed to be portable yet efficient, the LEDP260C Bi-Color LED Light Panel from Godox provides smooth and soft light that is well-suited to small-scale video applications.High color fidelity with a CRI rating of 95 and TLCI of 94.Brightness can be dimmed from 10 to 100%.Bi-color with an adjustment range from 3300K to 5600K, can be used with both tungsten and daylight sources.Portable LED panel outputs up to 30W of power, rated for a maximum of 2200 lux at 1.6'.For powering the panel, an AC adapter is included for connecting to a wall socket, while those looking to take the light out on the field can run it on two optional Sony L-series batteries.

These devices are placed over an object sitting on a reflective plane and alter the path of light bouncing off the object in such a way that the light appears to have bounced straight off the plane. The cloaks are also relatively cheap and easy to make, being constructed from the natural material calcite.Ĭarpet cloaks were proposed in 2008 by John Pendry of Imperial College, London as a way of extending the operating range of invisibility cloaks, which were mostly limited to microwave wavelengths. These “carpet cloaks” are far closer to the intuitive idea of an invisibility cloak than devices previously built, they argue, because they hide objects that can be seen with the naked eye and do so at visible wavelengths. Two independent groups of physicists have built invisibility cloaks that can shield large objects lying on a plane.

7/22/2023 0 Comments Lara croft last movie![]() Angelina Jolie can, with a straight face, a dry wit, a fierce resolve and a British accent, which adds a certain style to the enterprise. ![]() Not everybody, I observed, could play Lara Croft. I've been waiting for years for that to happen. There's an amazing use of giant neon signs in Shanghai, an escape by parasails, a secret lab hidden in a retail mall, a pole-vault to a helicopter, and a perfect scene where the villain, in hot pursuit of Lara, gets into an elevator and then a little brat gets on and punches all of the buttons. In a summer where the special effects in movies have grown steadily more repetitive and dreary, "LCTR:TCOL" uses imagination and exciting locations to give the movie the same kind of pulp adventure feeling we get from the Indiana Jones movies. To escape back to the surface, Lara slashes her wrist so the blood will attract a shark, hits the shark in the nose to confuse it, and holds onto its fin as it swims for the top. ![]() Also ancient crumbling temples, things that shine real bright and cool costumes.Īs it turns out, the location of the Cradle of Life is encoded on the outer surfaces of a glowing sphere that Lara and Terry find in Alexander's undersea temple, which inexplicably remains watertight until midway through their visit, after which it leaks and crumbles admirably. A perfect adventure should have at least one magnificent private library somewhere in it and a butler. Adventures involving the ancient, the occult and the exotic are much superior to those involving modern cars and guns and cops. I describe these details only because this kind of story amuses me, and always has, ever since those long-ago days when I curled up on the sofa with H. Lara chooses as her only companion Terry Sheridan ( Gerard Butler), and they embark on an adventure that will have them deep-sea diving, leaping from the tops of Shanghai skyscrapers, and fighting it out in Africa. He wants it in order to wipe out humanity, except for the best and the brightest, of course, after which he will rule, I guess. Jonathan Reiss ( Ciaran Hinds) for possession of the box. Lara is involved in a deadly race against Dr. Some two centuries later, the box was obtained by Alexander the Great, who hid it in a temple, which was buried beneath the sea by an earthquake, its location revealed as the film opens by another earthquake. Only Lara Croft would go to a Sunday school that teaches Greek myth. "That's the Sunday school version," she says. "in a place he called the Cradle of Life," she explains to her colleagues, mentioning Pandora's Box. In the somewhat murky chronology she describes early in the film, the original box arrived from outer space, and was discovered by an Egyptian pharaoh in 2300 B.C. Actually, since the title insists it has no comma, if grammar means anything she is Lady Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Lara Croft is Lady Lara Croft ( Angelina Jolie), daughter of the archeologist Sir Richard Croft ("Lost in the Field, 1985"). Devout Darwinians will note that if the box was opened to admit life and then immediately closed on death, whoever or whatever came out of it must have evolved with startling speed into a box-closing organism. In "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life," which with becoming modesty is 10 letters shorter than " Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," she engages in a deadly race for control of Pandora's Box, which brought life to earth but was slammed shut before it could also release a plague that would kill us all. In "Lara Croft Tomb Raider" (2001), you will recall, she battled the Illuminati in their quest to reunite the halves of a severed triangle in order to control time. In fact, she isn't really a raider at all the word suggests criminal activities, when perhaps it is only intended to remind us of raiders of lost arks and suchlike. Rich, humorless, awesomely competent, ambiguous about romance, stacked, she emerges in "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" as once again a heroine too busy saving the world to trouble herself with tomb raiding. Not everybody would want to, but that's another matter. 7/22/2023 0 Comments Lama laba drug names![]() George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score change from the baseline, MD -1.22 (95% CI -2.52 to 0.07, P = 0.06, I 2 = 71%, low quality evidence) and trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1) change from the baseline, MD 0.08 L (95% CI 0.06 to 0.09, P < 0.0001, I 2 = 50%, moderate quality evidence). Follow-up ranged from 6 to 52 weeks.Compared to the LABA+ICS arm, the results for the pooled primary outcomes for the LAMA+LABA arm were as follows: exacerbations, OR 0.82 (95% CI 0.70 to 0.96, P = 0.01, I 2 = 17%, low quality evidence) serious adverse events (SAE), OR 0.91 (95% CI 0.79 to 1.05, P = 0.18, I 2 = 0, moderate quality evidence) St. The unsponsored study was at high risk of performance and detection bias, and possible selective reporting.Five studies recruited GOLD Category B participants, one study recruited Category D participants, two studies recruited Category A/B participants, and three studies recruited participants regardless of category. ![]() All but one study were sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, thus we rated them as having a high risk of 'other bias'. One pharmaceutical sponsored trial that included only people with recent exacerbations was the largest study and accounted for 37% of participants. Most studies included people with moderate to severe COPD, without recent exacerbations. We included 11 studies comprising 9839 participants in our quantitative analysis. Exacerbations were measured by counting the number of people experiencing one or more exacerbation. We analysed dichotomous data as odds ratios (OR), and continuous data as mean differences (MD), with 95% confidence interval (CI) using Review Manager 5. We resolved any discrepancies through discussion. Two review authors independently extracted data and evaluated risk of bias. The minimum accepted trial duration was one month and trials should have been conducted in an outpatient setting. We included individual randomised controlled trials, parallel-group trials, and cross-over trials comparing LAMA+LABA and LABA+ICS for stable COPD. Two review authors screened and scrutinised the selected articles. We performed an electronic search of the Cochrane Airways Group Specialised Register (2 February 2016), (4 June 2016), and the World Health Organization Clinical Trials Search Portal (4 June 2016), followed by a handsearch (5 June 2016). To compare the benefits and harms of LAMA+LABA versus LABA+ICS for treatment of people with stable COPD. ![]() However, the updated GOLD 2017 guidance recommends LAMA+LABA over LABA+ICS. The previous Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidance recommended LABA+ICS as the first-line treatment for managing stable COPD in high-risk people of categories C and D. When two classes of medications are required, LAMA plus LABA (LAMA+LABA) and LABA plus ICS (LABA+ICS) are often selected because these combinations can be administered via a single medication device. Three classes of inhaler medications are used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): long-acting beta-agonists (LABA), long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA), and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). 7/22/2023 0 Comments Counting songs for pre kSongs To Begin Circle Time by Songs For Teaching – This list of songs is perfect for beginning a circle time routine with your preschoolers and guiding them to participate, share, and engage with circle time fun.
