Finally, when the lucky planet Jupiter goes retrograde from Monday, September 4 to Saturday, December 30, you feel more philosophical than usual and may take a new approach to problem-solving or embark on adventures. Because Venus rules love, beauty, and money, this transit may leave you feeling stagnant in romantic or financial matters, but fear not, it will pass. Just don't make any major changes to your appearance or beauty rituals while Venus is retrograde from Saturday, July 22 to Sunday, September 3. Then, nurture yourself through meditation, connecting with ancestors, using tarot cards, praying, or all of the above. Even if you aren't religious, this simply asks you to ensure that your emotional needs are met. Cancer could fall in love with the Aquarian's brains, and the Aquarian will fall in love with Cancer's affections, and then both will feed and tend to the aspects of the other that they adore.While dreamy Neptune is retrograde from Friday, June 30, to Wednesday, December 6, you're tasked with spiritually caring for yourself. The secret to a good romantic relationship or marriage would be for a partner to maximize the qualities of the other. One of them is a connection between an Aquarian and a Cancer. Everyone wishes their partnerships to be rewarding, yet the most satisfying partnerships are oftentimes the ones that fight through emotional challenges, where each partner accepts the other's worldview and grows as a whole. A Cancer loves to remain local and near to relatives whereas an Aquarian wants to go out into the town mixing with the people. Ultimately, Aquarius may provide Cancer a break from the usual in the perfect circumstance, while Cancer can exhibit Aquarius the value of consistency. They may be hesitant to disclose the information if they are born under the sign of Aquarius. Except in cases where they are afraid of their loved one's angry response or of upsetting them terribly, Cancer is typically loyal and honest. Cancer may be so upset during the physical engagement that they must set limits, and Aquarius may be unable to make the necessary changes to be softer with their Cancer companion. For both sides, a sexual connection between Cancer and Aquarius might be unpleasant. They may try to disguise their feelings by seeming strong. This fact has a significant impact on the relationship between Aquarius and Cancer. Cancer and Aquarius both have strong feelings. Aquarius and Cancer affinity improves if they reach a balance. Accepting the emotional attitude of Cancer will make things simpler for Aquarius. Things that are bad will stymie the building of interpersonal attachment between the two of you. The assertive Aquarian may cause a lot of tension in a partnership. When Cancer is worried, they withdraw or grow agitated. Cancer may be disturbed if Aquarius is dominant or forceful. It's pleasant when the Aquarius and Cancer love union is honest and reasonable. They have each other's backs in good times and bad. The combination of Aquarius and Cancer is a long-lasting one. Cancer is saved from mental lunacy by Aquarius. Cancer rescues Aquarius from a life that is devoid of true compassion. These personalities may offer the Cancer personality a lot. The Aquarian personality is creative and imaginative. When one of them wants something, they will go to any length to have it. They do have one thing in common: a strong will to succeed. Cancers want a romantic partner that is sensitive, kind, and passionate enough to really make them feel comfortable and confident in their relationship. Love is a natural feeling for Cancer, and it is all about psychological closeness. Aquarians want a love companion who is powerful, confident, and self-sufficient. Romance is somewhat of academic pursuit for an Aquarian.

(HMIS II descriptions, excluding the new aerosol criteria, are shown below) For HMIS III, the flammability criteria are defined according to OSHA standards (which add elevated flammability ratings for aerosols). In other words, in this category, HMIS I & II are identical to NFPA. Irritation or minor reversible injury possible.įor HMIS I and II, the criteria used to assign numeric values (0 = low hazard to 4 = high hazard) are identical to those used by NFPA. Temporary or minor injury may occur (e.g., diethyl ether). Major injury likely unless prompt action is taken and medical treatment is given. Life-threatening, major or permanent damage may result from single or repeated overexposures (e.g., hydrogen cyanide). According to NPCA, the numeric hazard assessment procedure differs from that used by NFPA. If present, the asterisk signifies a chronic health hazard, meaning that long-term exposure to the material could cause a health problem such as emphysema or kidney damage. In the latest version of HMIS, the Health bar has two spaces, one for an asterisk and one for a numeric hazard rating. The Health section conveys the health hazards of the material. The four bars are color-coded, using the modern color bar symbols with blue indicating the level of health hazard, red for flammability, orange for a physical hazard, and white for Personal Protection. Specifically, when using HMIS III, which accounts for the increased flammability hazard of aerosols. HMIS Color Bar is compliant with these new standards. In 2012, OSHA introduced an updated version of their HazCom standard known as HazCom 2012, which mandates GHS Labels on shipped containers, and updated requirements for workplace labels, which are compatible with GHS, although it does not mandate the use of GHS in the workplace. Both systems were developed at a time when there was no mandated labeling system for communicating hazards of workplace chemicals (OSHA only required some system be used without specifying a format). The color bar is not for emergencies and is used to convey broader health warning information. The fire diamond is designed for emergencies when information about the effects of short, or acute, exposure is needed. After April 2002, with the release of HMIS III, yellow in the color bar (which stood for reactivity) was replaced by orange, standing for physical hazard. Before 2002 the fire diamond and the color bar both had sections colored blue, red, white, and yellow. The HMIS Color Bar is similar to the fire diamond, created by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). | First aid stations, infirmaries, and offices.The Hazardous Materials Identification System ( HMIS) is a numerical hazard rating that incorporates the use of labels with color developed by the American Coatings Association as a compliance aid for the OSHA Hazard Communication (HazCom) Standard. | rigging lofts and active store rooms, mess halls,ģ0. | electrical equipment rooms, carpenter shops, | plants, screening plants, mechanical and | General construction plant and shops (e.g., batch | lights shall be acceptable for use in the tunnelġ0. | at tunnel and shaft heading during drilling, | (Exception: minimum of 10 foot-candles is required | Tunnels, shafts, and general underground work areas: | Indoors: warehouses, corridors, hallways, andĥ. | storage areas, loading platforms, refueling, andĥ. | excavation and waste areas, access ways, active | General construction areas, concrete placement, TABLE D-3 - MINIMUM ILLUMINATION INTENSITIES IN FOOT-CANDLES Construction areas, ramps, runways, corridors, offices, shops, and storage areas shall be lighted to not less than the minimum illumination intensities listed in Table D-3 while any work is in progress: The temperature of your feet to see if they are the same.Your toenails for cracks and fungal infection.

Antonio Centeno – Arian Ney – Travis White – a strong Instagram presence we felt qualified to go through and pick out the top menswear Instagrammers in the game.Curators (not included in ranking) of this article and ranking are: There are so many options that it’s becoming harder to actually find a user that you can resonate with.Ĭheck out the top 25 Instagram accounts for men below and access the complete list of 160+ Instagrammers here:įYI – if you disagree with my ranking contact me here and we’ll take note and very possibly consider (within reason) updating the number score immediately. Each account was scored on the following criteria: The UK theme of raw potential continues will Tommy but he’s on pace to crack the elite receiver conversation. Add 14 bench presses (Top 10 in the 23 NFL Combine) and a 6’9 L/3 Cone and finally, a 4.1 shuttle and you have a receiver who will be able to out-athlete 99% of the corners he will play against in the GFL this season. He put himself on the map during this event, a lasered 4.27 40, which even if it’s 0.1 off would still be top 5 in the 2023 NFL Combine. The second Dresden Monarch on this list, and another UK talent, Tommy was first introduced to many, including myself, at the Milano Seamen tryouts in Italy. His 4.8 40 and 39.5- inch vertical in the CFL testing secured him the chance to flash his athletic ability in the CFL. With his 20 reps on the bench, the strength and bulk are tied. Although listed at 223 lbs, Falola is massive. If he stays with Rhein or goes to the CFL, either way, he’s going to have an opportunity to thrive.įalola is a multiple-time NFL IPP and 2023 CFL Global 18th overall selection by Toronto Argonauts, however, he is currently still signed with the Prague Lions, so he is still eligible for this list. It’s clear he’s in the top echelon, with his size he fits the need for speed at the LB position in Europe. The former Cologne Crocodiles and now Rhein Fire linebacker did 23 reps on the bench press (6th in the 2023 NFL Draft for LBs) with a 4.71 40, 34.5 inch vertical (7th in the 2023 NFL Draft) and most impressively, a 4.34 in the shuttle (Tied 2nd in the 2023 NFL Draft). Yet another CFL Global pick (you’ll see that a lot today) with the 15th overall pick in 2023. He’s a raw pass rusher but with his measurables, he could thrive as an EDGE or OLB with the right system and coaching. A 6’2 ½ 276lbs RUSH player who benches 29 reps (4th in the 2023 NFL Combine for EDGE and RUSH), ran a 4.74 and had a vertical of 31 inches (Tied with Lukas Van Ness, 1st round pick) has the makeup to be a problem. With Max being passed on during the CFL Global Draft, he will be expecting serious time in Germany. The Dresden Monarchs have signed him for the 2023 GFL season. Max has crept into the consciousness of European American football this season after a successful national championship season with the UWE Bullets. After his time in New York with the best athletic trainers, facilities and teammates in Barkley and Freeman, I seriously doubt that his athletic ability has taken a hit while he was there. A 4.53 40, 39.5 inch vertical and 10’6″ broad jump was what got him the attention of scouts at the international combine. With his return to the Raiders, he is eligible for this list. He’s one of the best athletes that Europe has sent over to the States and signed back with his club team, the Tirol Raiders in the ELF. There’s a reason Sandro has spent the last few years with the New York Giants. I expect to see another successful season this time out in his ELF debut. The last we saw of him was in 2022 with the Unicorns where he played eight games catching 36 passes for 601 yards and 8 TDs. Combined with his 17 bench press reps and 4.09 shuttle, his versatility to go from receiver to tight end is notable as he was able to pack on a lot more muscle on his already big frame. The 6’4 ½ homegrown German player who rejoins ‘Surge head coach Jordan Neuman after playing for him with the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns, runs a 4.43, has jumped 39 inches vertically and has a 10’11 broad jump. In the most recent blockbuster move of this off-season, completely out of left field the Stuttgart Surge of the European League of Football have announced the former 6th round pick from the 2016 NFL Draft as their newest receiver. By no means does this suggest they aren’t worthy of a place on this list, and I invite players to message me directly and I could make a part two. I’m going off a lot less combine and Pro-Day numbers and information than Feldman, so there absolutely will be athletes missing. They have to be signed to a team in one of the various leagues in Europe.They have to be a European player, no American imports, just the Euro guys.Here are the ground rules about the players: Initially, he started with 10 athletes and over the last 20 years he has expanded to 100.Īs a 23-year-old scout and European American football fanatic, I wanted to do Bruce Feldman an honor and dedicate a European athlete special to the freak list. His intention was “to spotlight the players who generate buzz inside their programs by displaying the unique physical abilities that wow even those who observe gifted athletes every day”. Bruce Feldman of the Athletic has been writing “The Freak List” for two decades. The 1953 winner of 8 Oscar Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress is a film set on the Attack on Pearl Harbor. Skillfully, Ford depicts the horror of the naval combats and the hard struggle of the Americans that were abandoned before the Japanese despite their bravery to keep fighting. The film is not really focused on the Pearl Harbor events but on the posterior first fights in the Philippines between the US and the Japanese forces. The legendary John Ford only filmed one War Film regarding WWII during his whole career: They Were Expendable- a movie that included a cast full of stars like Robert Montgomery, John Wayne and Donna Reed. Many, in fact, are highly regarded works of film. Although some of these film don't offer a fully accurate picture of the events that transpired, they give good insight into what happened, while tugging on your heartstrings. We have gathered the 8 movies that are set in this historical period to tell new unique stories and/or depict how the events happened in Hawaii. The events of Pearl Harbor and the war in the Pacific during WWII has been the focus for many film directors. On December 7, 2021, the United States and the world will commemorate its 80th anniversary. There are films about D-Day, the Battle of Berlin and, of course, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. World War II movies are probably the paradigm of this type of cinema. The public loves a good war movie that shows how the events took place, the causes, and the consequences. War film is a genre of cinema that is usually set on famous periods and events. Cinema is a medium that tends to use historical moments to create stories. Kesey has an incredible gift to put his reader inside the minds of all the characters, both protagonists and antagonists and other, so much so that I found myself sympathizing and empathizing with even the alleged bad guys. Starting out, the plain stark bare-bones writing style reminded me of Cormac McCarthy, another of my all-time favorites. I have not yet read Cuckoo's Nest (loved the film) but I have to say that SAGN lived up to and exceeded my expectations and I would have to place it amongst the greatest of the modern classics I've ever read. I had read in several literary forums that SAGN was lesser known but actually a better book than his more famous One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. A man who lived his deep faith but was worldly in every respect.Īs happened when I read this book 45 years ago in print, I did not want this audiobook to end. He was the guy we'd all like to have as a friend. Who was the most memorable character of Sometimes a Great Notion and why? All of them have been well done but the narrator had more voices in this novel and did all of them extremely well. Have you listened to any of Tom Stechschulte?s other performances before? How does this one compare? He was capable of great love, for his father, Viv, and Joe Ben but had some trouble expressing this love. Kesey brought out his inner thoughts and downplayed the obvious, i.e. If you could sum up Sometimes a Great Notion in three words, what would they be? This is recorded literature raised to an art form in its own right. The masterful direction and performance make even the most complex chapters immediately accessible. Stechschulte’s deft switching of voices-at times done mid-sentence-unlocks Kesey’s vast, kaleidoscopic vision. The book doesn’t simply boast dozens of characters it takes us inside these personae, making us privy to their inner thoughts. The novel's narration passes fluidly from third person to first person. Were Sometimes a Great Notion not a masterpiece in its own right, Tom Stechschulte’s performance would still make this book essential listening. This accounts for why the book feels simultaneously so fresh and trapped in amber. Nevertheless, it’s impossible to imagine such a full-throated working-class ballad appearing amid the ranks of today’s literary fiction. I hasten to add that the male lumberjacks at the heart of the novel are not any the less complex and believable for all their rough-hewn virility. There are passages that make Hemingway’s machismo look faint-hearted. While I’m taking pains not to spoil the pleasures of navigating any the novel’s many narrative tributaries, it’s worth noting that, though there are a few well-developed female characters, this story is steeped in testosterone. To encounter Kesey writing at the top of his game is to realize that many authors, including John Irving and especially Robert Stone, are merely dutiful imitators. If that weren’t enough to sustain the reader’s interest, the central narrative is interlaced with dozens of compelling and entertaining side plots. Kesey employs all the most effective innovations of modernist fiction to tell the tale of a dynastic struggle worthy of Shakespeare or the ancient Greeks. Here we have everything we could want in a novel. I can’t remember what virtual rabbit hole led me to this book, but coming upon it now feels like going on an afternoon hike, only to stumble upon the Taj Mahal in a clearing. In any case, at the distance of more than half a century, Sometimes a Great Notion stands as a heroic accomplishment. While Kesey’s notoriety ensured that the novel would not slide entirely into obscurity, readers seeking the literary equivalent of a bong hit would come away frustrated and daunted by this big, dense book. The fact that author Ken Kesey went on to become the patron saint of psychedelia probably didn’t help the book’s reputation. Set amid the forests of the Pacific Northwest, tinged with country western music and populated with James Dean wannabes, Sometimes a Great Notion might have been perceived in its day as casting a backwards glance when many readers were only looking forward with apprehension or expectation. My two-bit theory posits that, given its arrival immediately following Kennedy’s assassination, it didn’t seem to address current conditions. It’s a mystery why this book never enjoyed the acclaim of, say, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Rabbit, Run, The Executioner’s Song or Bonfire of the Vanities.

Just imagine all those VSCO presets being applied to sensor data rather. But I also tend to deconstruct them and rebuild them in ID. Aperture vs Capture One vs Iridient Developer vs Lightroom vs LightZone vs Nik. I still use LR periodically because I use VSCO presets at times. I also prefer ID's sharpening and noise tools, but again, I know them well and I'm no longer familiar with LR's. CS6 and CC was enough for me to finally drop CS and look to alternatives when I need PS-like features. I prefer the simpler UI of ID because I don't need all the features of LR and PS (I've also been using ID for years and know it inside and out so it's very familiar and quick for me to use). Future development is driven by suggestions from users and the suggestions with the. I tried Iridient but wasn't quite impressed, I'll stick to LR4 and CS5, much friendlier UIįair enough. VSCO doesnt appear to have a Classic Chrome preset either when I looked (and. Much of the core RAW processing, sharpening, noise reduction and lens corrections featured in this program are shared with Iridient Developer. Prior to obtaining the GFX, Ive never heard of Iridient Developer before. The first is showing you how to use the various controls, with specific emphasis on settings and options that specifically affect X-Trans users. This Iridient Developer update should resolve sporadic crashes on the final release of macOS 13 (Ventura). Works great with GR files.Īs an aside, it currently the state of the art Fuji Xtrans developer and it also handles Sigma Foveon files very good too. Iridient X-Transformer is a utility that can be used to convert Fujifilm RAF images to DNG format using Iridient Digital’s high quality RAW processing algorithms. There are two main themes in the Iridient Developer guide. My favorite RAW developer for any camera is Iridient Developer. As mentioned above, between LrCC, C1 (lite, for Fuji X-Trans), ON1, and even the software supplied by Fuji, I've found Iridient X-Transformer to be the best of the lot when 'translating' Fuji X. Stir in the peppermint and vanilla extract. Remove from the heat and whisk gently until smooth and shiny. Place over medium-low heat and stir continuously until the chocolate has melted. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate, cream, and corn syrup. Refrigerate the cake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minute before glazing. A straight-sided frosting spatula and bench scraper are great for producing smooth sides. Top with the next layer of cake and repeat, ending with the third layer (tip: pick the most level, attractive layer for the top).įrost the sides and top of the cake with the remaining buttercream (*if time permits, frost a thin crumb coat, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, and finish with the remaining buttercream). Spread on roughly 3/4 cup (180 ml) of the buttercream with an offset spatula. Place it on a cake plate, turning table, or serving dish. Level the cooled cake layers with a long serrated knife and choose which layer will be the bottom (tip: pick the sturdiest layer). Using a spatula, fold in the crushed candy canes. Add the vanilla and peppermint extract and beat for an additional 3o seconds. Once incorporated, turn the mixer to medium high and beat until the buttercream is silky smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Over low speed, slowly add the chunks of butter (a tablespoon or two at a time). Using the stand mixer, beat the hot egg white mixture over high speed for 8 to 10 minutes or until it reaches stiff peaks. Whisking intermittently, heat the egg mixture until it reaches 160 F (70 C) on a candy thermometer or is hot to the touch. Place the bowl on top of the saucepan to create a double-broiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Fill a medium saucepan with a few inches of water and place it over medium heat until lightly simmering. Place the egg whites and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using a rolling pin, crush the candy canes into very small pieces (*you don’t want any of the pieces to be too large or they will be chewy, rather than crunchy). Place the candy canes in a large resealable freezer bag and squeeze out any excess air. *If you are preparing this cake in advance, double-wrap the cooled cake layers in plastic wrap before refrigerating or freezing. Allow the cake layers to cool completely before decorating. Let them cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before removing the cakes from their pans. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Scrape down the bowl to ensure it is incorporated evenly.Įvenly divide the batter (*see my own tips below on how to do this!) among the prepared cake pans. Mix on medium-low for no more than 3o seconds, or until combined. With the mixer on low, slowly pour in the hot coffee. Turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Over medium speed, add the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, and peppermint extract. In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the oil and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside. Grease and flour three 8-inch (20-cm) cake pans and set aside (*see the note section for tips if you do not own three pans). Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C) with a rack in the center position.
