Equinox 20201/5/2024 ![]() ![]() “If the light is angled, it’s not going to be as hot.” “What it has to do is the amount of light per square centimeter that’s falling on you,” says Dan Milisavljevic an astronomy professor at Purdue University. At the same time, the southern half of Earth is tilted away from the sun and catches its rays at an angle, causing the cooler, shorter days of winter.Įarth is bathed evenly in sunlight only twice a year, on the equinoxes. When the planet's Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, sunlight hits it head on, bringing summer’s heat and longer days. So if it’s not Earth’s changing proximity to the sun, what gives us seasons? It's all in the slant: Earth's axis isn’t straight up and down relative to the sun, but tilted at a slight angle of about 23.5 degrees.Īs Earth revolves around the sun, it maintains that tilt, and the sun’s light doesn't hit the entire surface directly. “So in the northern winter-in December-the sun is actually closest to the Earth by a small amount, and in the summer it’s actually farther away.” “The Earth’s orbit is about 3 percent out of round,” explains Jay Holberg, a senior research scientist at the lunar and planetary lab at the University of Arizona. The Harvard grads-captured forever in 1980s hair and their caps and gowns-were wrong. After all, Earth’s orbit isn’t a perfect circle. With varying degrees of confidence, the students explain that the Earth gets warmer or colder based on its distance from the sun. In a grainy video, a group of newly fledged Harvard graduates is asked why we have seasons. Want to know why equinoxes happen, what to expect, and how they have been celebrated through the ages? We've got you covered. Even though an equinox happens twice a year, every year, there are a lot of misconceptions about this seasonal transition. ( See some of Britain's best Autumn walks.)įor the other half of the planet, September 22 is the vernal equinox, signalling the beginning of spring. The Northern Hemisphere blew by the longest day of the year with June’s summer solstice, then the Autumn equinox on September 22, 2020-the day when the sun passes directly over Earth’s Equator.

The Old Testament passages were understood by the rabbis to be Messianic, and were properly so applied by the New Testament writers. ![]() Isaiah 28:16 is quoted twice in the New Testament: Romans 9:33, from Septuagint combined with the words of Isaiah 8:14, and in 1 Peter 2:6, which is quoted with some variation from Septuagint. (3) New Testament passages.- Psalm 118:22 is quoted and interpreted as fulfilled in Jesus Christ in a number of passages: Matthew 21:42 Mark 12:10 Luke 20:17 Acts 4:11 and 1 Peter 2:7 it is also the evident basis for Ephesians 2:20. It is probable that we should read in Psalm 144:12 not "corner-stones," but "corner-pillars," or supports (compare Greek Caryatides) from a different Hebrew word, zawith, Brown, Driver, and Briggs, Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, under the word The ancient tradition of the one missing stone, when the temple was in building, is reflected in or has been suggested by Psalm 118:22 (Midrash quoted by Pusey under Zechariah 4:7). In Zechariah 10:4 the leader or ruler in the Messianic age is represented by the corner-stone. In Job 38:6 it beautifully expresses in figures the stability of the earth, which Yahweh created. (b) the topmost or cap-stone, which linked the last tier together ( Psalm 118:22 Zechariah 4:7) in both cases it is an important or key-stone, and figurative of the Messiah, who is "the First and the Last." ![]() (a) the foundation-stone upon which the structure rested ( Job 38:6 Isaiah 28:16 Jeremiah 51:26) or While all the passages indicate the stone at the corner, there appear to be two conceptions: Derived from a root signifying "to turn," it means "turning," and therefore "edge" or "corner." Ordinarily it is used with 'ebhen, "stone" ( Psalm 118:22) or it may occur alone, having acquired for itself through frequent use the whole technical phrase-idea ( Zechariah 10:4 the King James Version). (2) Old Testament references.-The Hebrew word pinnah, "corner," is found or implied in every occurrence of this idea. ![]() It may throw light on the curse pronounced upon the rebuilding of Jericho ( Joshua 6:26 see PEFS, January, 1904, July, 1908). This was one of many hideous rites and practices which Israel was to extirpate. Under this important stone of temples, or other great structures, bodies of children or older persons would be laid, consecrating the building by such human sacrifice (see FORTIFICATION, II, 1). (1) With the Canaanites, who preceded Israel in the possession of Palestine, corner-stone laying seems to have been a most sacred and impressive ceremonial. No doubt the original meaning was some important stone, which was laid at the foundation of a building. Ordinarily its use in the Bible is figurative, or symbolical. Kor'-ner ston (pinnah, zawith akrogoniaios): Part of the public or imposing buildings, to which importance has been attached in all ages and in many nations, both on account of its actual service and its figurative meaning. International Standard Bible Encyclopedia CORNER-STONE Cloudpunk xbox1/5/2024 ![]() ![]() To make it even worse, whenever you get close to…well, anything, you find out that the people and the world are all blocky and Lego-like. Oddly, the map - which is very confusing and very useless - makes it seem like Cloudpunk (the city, not the game) is brimming with points of interest, but when you investigate further you quickly realize that it’s mainly a whole lot of nothing. There’s sort of some story reasons for that - which I’ll get to in a moment - and the game is definitely going for a certain atmosphere, but more often than not, it feels like the developers created a city and forgot to fill it with people. On top of that, the city is pretty empty, so it all feels pretty desolate. On the one hand, the game takes place at night, so the darkness makes a bit of sense, but at the same time, the way it’s presented, everything just looks kind of foggy and dull. As you’re doing this, the world is mostly shrouded in darkness, and you can barely see a few buildings ahead of you. Cloudpunk is set in a sprawling city full of skyscrapers in a very literal sense of the world, and you pilot around your flying car around the eponymous city, making deliveries. You’ve just got to be okay with making a couple of pretty big allowances.įirst, you need to forgive graphics that give off pretty heavy “early days of 3D gaming” vibes. This is definitely a good foundation for Ion Lands to build upon, if it ever decides to revisit this world, which they absolutely should.Cloudpunk is probably worth checking out. With a little polish and a stronger reason to exist and explore the world, Cloudpunk could have been something far greater. The narrative, however, is just not strong enough to disguise the relatively tedious A-to-B fetch quest gameplay (well, it’s more deliver than fetch, but you get my point). Nivalis is such a fantastically realised world, one full of wonder, and the score that accompanies it makes you feel like you’re in some badass cyberpunk thriller. How I was able to get through to the end of Cloudpunk before it completely imploded is beyond me, but I did… somehow!Ĭloudpunk represents a bit of a missed opportunity. It was a particularly head-scratching moment when one character told me of another character’s death… as he was stood next to him. The game is incredibly buggy as well, with achievements that just straight up don’t work and a frame-rate that is far from stable but more worryingly, the further you get into the game, the more the game just gets straight up confused, making me go through dialogue and re-issuing quests that I’d already completed hours ago. When it comes to pacing, though, it’s all over the place, like sitting in your HOVA (your flying car) while listening to five minutes of exposition dialogue, before the game tells you where to go or getting to your destination far too quickly and then having to wait while you finish your conversation. On the design side, it’s hard to not be completely baffled by the fact there’s no invert option, and no save or exit game options (it just saves in the background). They’re tropes, clichés, and dull as dishwater, while the overall story just isn’t that gripping at all.Ĭloudpunk also has some bizarre design and pacing issues peppered throughout. Yes, Cloudpunk is effectively an exploration game, going from point A to point B, meeting characters, and discovering new locations, but the game’s main issue is that the narrative – and the characters written into the world – are just not all that interesting. That, unfortunately, is where my love for Cloudpunk ends, because from a gameplay perspective, things get incredibly repetitive and tedious very quickly. Mixed with a fantastic voxel art world, it’s easy to fall completely in love with the world that Ion Lands has created. With some fantastic Blade Runner-esque vibes from composer Harry Critchley. Throughout the game’s relatively lengthy campaign, you’ll explore all that Nivalis has to offer, dropping off dodgy packages to a whole host of nefarious characters. And you know what? It is, but also, it isn’t.Ĭloudpunk sees you jump into the shoes of Rania, a young woman from the countryside, who makes her way to the megacity of Nivalis to work for eponymous illegal delivery firm, Cloudpunk. Cloudpunk, a 3D narrative driven exploration game should be right up my alley, then. The flying cars, the ramen bars, the cities above the clouds, the neon-soaked skylines, the ridiculously over-sized advertising. There’s just something about cyberpunk environments that I can’t get enough of. Pinocchio story in short1/5/2024 “Yes.” Geppetto said to Pinocchio, “My children, I bring all these things to you right now.” Can you give me some pencil and a books? So that I can go to school and study. When Pinocchio had grown up, he told his father, “Dad, I have grown up and I think I should go to school to study now. While doing this, the time passed and the two started living happily together. I am very happy that you are alive.”Īfter that Gappetto would play with Pinocchio all day and take care of him. The wish I had yesterday has been fulfilled. Seeing all this, Geppetto jumped happily. When it was morning, Geppetto saw that his Pinocchio was sitting in front and staring at him. I will take care of him myself.” Geppetto and PinocchioĪfter all this, the angel left. Pinocchio then said to the angel, “Okay! I will definitely listen to you and take care of my father. If you do all these things, I will give you a boon.” You should listen to your father and take care of him as well. As Pinocchio came alive, he thanked the angel.Īngel said to him, “Pinocchio you have to be a good child. ![]() The angel swung his magical wand(stick) and the Pinocchio woke up. The angel thought of fulfilling his wish by listening to the talk of Geppetto. The broken star turned into an angel right there. Looking at the star, Geppetto said that if it had been alive, he would have spoken to him like his child and would have played with him.Īfter all this was done Gappetto was very tired. At the same time a falling star passed from there. Also take a look at this commentary and this one.It was night time while making the puppet. The soldier without disturbing himself in the least caught him cleverly by the nose and gave him to Geppetto.įor further reading, you can find the original Pinocchio for free in many places including Amazon. Pinocchio to Talking Cricket: “Take care, you wicked, ill-omened croaker! Woe to you if I fly into a passion!” It’s not just the much darker imagery and events in the book but also the odd, old fashioned English. I may read the story for myself, but I’ll track down a book based on the Disney movie instead. ![]() He dies and “Collodi actually intended that to be the end of his tale, but public outcry from fans got him to return to the story and bring the puppet boy back to life.” ( src) In an awful twist, later on in the novel Pinocchio is caught and hung by the cat and the fox. but unfortunately it struck him exactly on the head, so that the poor Cricket had scarcely breath to cry “Cri-cri-cri!” and then he remained dried up and flattened against the wall. (Apparently he reappears alive at the end of the story but it’s not explained how) ![]() I’ve only got to chapter 6 of the story but so far Geppetto is in gaol for child(puppet) abuse and Pinocchio has killed Jiminy Cricket (Talking Cricket in the story) with a mallet to the head. ![]() I never saw the original Walt Disney cartoon but I’m familiar with the characters and the story. He watched a few videos on Youtube of the Disney classic and since I knew the original would be available as a Kindle download I offered to read him a few chapters before going to bed. My son Adam has taken an interest in Pinocchio after receiving a little wooden toy that looks similar to the well known character.

Document Elements building blocks make swift work of adding cover pages, tables of contents, and the like. We really like Publishing Layout View's elementary desktop publishing tools. Its changes should mostly please those creating documents they want to show off. These are all dandy for composing and editing text documents, juggling spreadsheets, and creating slide-show presentations.Īlthough the look and feel are refreshed, Word isn't drastically different from its predecessor. Mac users can choose from iWork '08, the free OpenOffice 2, or tools with free online components including ThinkFree, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, and Zoho Office. Indeed, rivals to Office for Mac seem like a bargain, even though they offer fewer tools. Still, the fees feel hefty next to the $80 Apple iWork '08. Fortunately, those who have recently purchased Office for Mac 2004 can upgrade for free. The $500 Special Media Edition handles Exchange and adds Microsoft Expression media-management software. At $400 or $240 to upgrade, the full Office for Mac that we reviewed feels pricey, even though it includes Exchange support. The least expensive option is the $150 Home and Student edition (formerly Student and Teacher), which lacks support for Exchange and Automator. Installation took about 20 minutes on our MacBook running the Leopard operating system. You'll need a Mac with 1.5GB free on the hard drive, running at least OS 10.4.9, with 512MB of RAM and a 500MHz Intel or PowerPC processor. That said, the new document types are smaller and purportedly more secure than their predecessors. ![]() Although we're glad that Microsoft offers free converters, we find the forced extra steps annoying in Office 2007. That means for now, should you save work in a new OOXML format in a hurry, someone with the older software won't be able to open it. Free file conversion tools won't be available until as long as 10 weeks from now, or 8 weeks after the applications are available in stores. We're not thrilled about this being the default option, even though you can save your work in the older DOC, XLS and PPT formats. Office for Mac saves work in the same, new Open XML formats used by Office 2007 for Windows. Being accustomed to Office for Windows, we'd rather find all these options at the top of the screen. For simple tweaks such as changing fonts, you'll need to consult floating formatting boxes. We found the shape-shifting neither terribly distracting nor useful. Office for Mac lacks the Ribbon, but some menu items appear only in step with the task at hand. Office 2007 for Windows clusters functions within a contextual "Ribbon" toolbar that displays different options. This is handy if you rely on Entourage but don't want to run it all the time. The new My Day widget for Entourage floats on the Mac desktop displaying calendar items and to-do lists. ![]() Now you can save to PDF, and Automator actions are supported. There are more welcome and substantial changes as well. ![]() These are premade templates with 3D and translucent designs. For instance, Office for Mac features the same templates and Smart Art graphics as the Windows counterparts. The 2007 applications for Windows arrange functions within tabs, while the 2008 Mac software largely clusters functions within the same drop-down menus including File, Edit, and View.īy and large, most of the changes focus on attempting to help users craft more attractive documents. That's good news for anyone who doesn't want to relearn the locations of common functions. Unlike Microsoft Office 2007, the interface changes don't look radically foreign next to the 2004 edition. There's no Microsoft Access database application for the Mac, although Filemaker's upcoming release of Bento offers Mac users a new choice. Office for Mac includes Word, Excel for spreadsheets, PowerPoint for presentations and Entourage for e-mail and time management. Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 may be the best pick for business users, with major updates to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage.Īfter a series of delays, Microsoft plans to release Office for Mac 2008 to brick-and-mortar and online stores on January 15, making this the first update in nearly four years. ![]() ![]() And so Fellowship endures: a miracle of storytelling, a feat of filmmaking and still the gold standard for cinematic experiences. Its ultimate heroes aren't the strongest, or those with the best one-liners, but the ones who just keep going. ![]() This oddball suicide squad has so much warmth and wit, they're not just believable as friends of each other - they've come to feel like they're our pals too.An ornately detailed masterwork with a huge, pulsing heart, it's just the right film for our times - full of craft, conviction and a belief that trudging forward, step by step, in dark days is the bravest act of all. But Fellowship remains the most perfect of the three, matching every genius action beat with a soul-stirring emotional one, as its Middle-earth-traversing gang swells in size in the first act, then dwindles in the third. The Return Of The King boasts the most batshit, operatic spectacle. As Fellowship thrums to its conclusion, finally applying the brakes with a last swell of Howard Shore's heavenly score, you're left feeling euphoric, bereft and hopeful, all at the same time. Onwards his adventure hustles, to the bravura dungeoneering of Khazad-dûm, to the sinisterly serene glades of Lothlorien, to the final requiem for flawed Boromir amidst autumnal leaves. The postWorld War II era in the United States was marked by prosperity, and by the introduction of a seductive new form of mass communication: television. Even at the halfway point, as the characters take a breather to bicker in Rivendell, you already feel sated, like you've experienced more thrills, more suspense, more jollity and ethereal beauty than a regular film could possibly muster up. The Fellowship Of The Ring contains so much movie. But here it is, brighter and more resplendent than ever.

Narratively, this character can serve as a distinct and amoral foil to his more strait-laced colleagues.

APP_ERROR: unexpected token (eResource.cpp, 75) Every time I play half of the maps, I get this error: Lord alfred douglas1/4/2024 ![]() To Alfred’s horror, his lady love’s peers accused her of seducing “an innocent young boy.” Alfred actually attempted to protest, describing himself as “far from innocent,” but no one believed him. Alfred was in tears over the whole affair, but it was what happened to his lady love that really mortified him. Caught red-handed, Alfred’s tutor demanded the return of his lady cousin at once. Alfred answered the door-while dressed in his lover’s nightgown. He Got Caughtĭuring one of Alfred’s evening trysts with his new lady love, his tutor rudely interrupted by loudly banging on his bedroom door. Sadly for Alfred, this lady also happened to be his tutor’s cousin. While staying in a hotel in the South of France, our venerable Lord Alfred began an affair with the divorced wife of an earl. There, Alfred learned a great deal, including the fact that he had a taste for both men and women. In 1888, Alfred traveled to France under the supervision of a tutor named Gerald Campbell. Unfortunately, his dad’s promiscuous ways definitely rubbed off on Alfred, and the young man had his own fair share of affairs too. Alfred must have realized just how messed up this was, and the event likely kickstarted a tumultuous chapter in his relationship with his dad. He Despised His DadĪccording to Alfred’s dad, the three of them-himself, the mistress, and Alfred’s mom-should just start living together. ![]() When Alfred’s mom was rightfully upset, Alfred’s dad had the gall to suggest a truly outlandish solution. However, a mere 24 hours before the start of the party, Alfred’s dad showed up with a group of his own buddies-including his mistress. His mom had arranged a house party for their friends to celebrate race week. In 1886, Alfred witnessed something that completely turned him against his dad. Then, a disturbing incident destroyed Alfred’s admiration for his dear old dad. At this point, though, little Alfred still loved his father regardless. He also likely began several steamy relationships with his male peers at school, but it likely did little to improve his relationship with his father. He excelled at sports, was a total looker, and had a natural knack for the arts. In time, Lord Alfred Douglas became one of the most popular boys in the school. This kind of environment should have crushed someone as spoiled as Douglas, but his actual reaction shocked and surprised his peers. School Nearly Destroyed HimĪt the time, Winchester was the perfect school on the surface, but, as young Alfred soon discovered, there was a hidden darkness to that place. Winchester suffered from a huge problem with abuse, and Douglas’s good looks made him a prime target for unwanted attention from his seniors. Ironically, sending Alfred to Winchester ended up being a terrible idea. Next, Alfred’s dad enrolled Alfred in a boarding school called Winchester, again without asking for Alfred’s opinion. At the end of the 1870s, Alfred’s dad made the decision to sell their home and move everyone to London, which greatly upset Alfred and the rest of the family. You see, Alfred’s dad had a nasty habit of doing whatever he wanted to his family, usually without their consent. What happened next only made that sensitivity worse. ![]() It’s no wonder that Douglas became, in his own words, a “very sensitive” child. Whether it was land, money, gifts, or servants, all Alfred had to do was ask for it, and his mom gave it to him. As a result, his mom spoiled Alfred rotten. Since Alfred’s dad was away so often, her mom started seeing little Alfred as a replacement for her perpetually absent husband. This put a major strain on the relationship between Alfred’s parents, which led to some life-changing consequences for the little boy. For one, Alfred’s dad recently got himself a big promotion and became Master of the Worcestershire Foxhounds, meaning he was constantly away from home. He Had An Absentee Fatherīy the time little Alfred was born, things weren’t going so well in the Queensbury household. Unfortunately for Lord Alfred, his noble house came with its fair share of family drama. Now, our friend Lord Alfred wasn’t the son of just any old noble house in fact, Lord Alfred came from one of the noblest and oldest families in Scotland. On October 22, 1870, Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas was born, the third child of John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry and his first wife Sibyl. AuthorWrite something about yourself.
