![]() ![]() June 14-16: Ukrainian Neurosurgery Conference 2017 in Kharkiv June 12-13: Visit to Medical Institute of Sumy State University May 29- June 9: two week master class with Igor Kurilets MD at the International Neurosurgery Center May 22-26: meet with area surgeons at participating centers Dr.Tomycz has also been invited to deliver an address at the annual Ukrainian Neurosurgery Conference 2017 in Kharkiv. It’ll be a 3-month adventure during which we plan to work with neurosurgeons from several centers from all around the country. The message at the vigil was heard loud and clear: See homeless people with kind eyes, and act accordingly, so that no more names will be added to the list of lives lost.We are gearing up for our 2017 Mission trip. "There is no shame in suffering, but there is shame in shaming suffering," the presenter said. "He was my buddy," Rivers said through choked-up tears as he read the name of one of his friends.Īs the final names were about to be read, the presenter stood tall, and spoke words that brought pause to those in attendance. The names were read by former homeless individuals who shed tears when names of people they knew were read. Then a man emerged from the crowd and walked to the front, where he was gifted a blanket.Īs the evening went on with speakers and musical numbers, it finally came time for the names of the 117 men and women lost. He walked up to me and said, 'Hey, buddy! I'd like to give this to you.' You don't know how much that simple act of kindness meant to me."Īs Rivers concluded his speech, he asked if anyone in the audience was homeless. One day he brought me a hot cup of coffee and a burrito. "He used to pass me by going to work and coming home. "My struggle was so real, and the pain was unbearable at times, but I met so many great people. He told about a single act of kindness that changed everything. He told about living in a broken shopping cart with a red wagon tied to it, as he and his dog did what they could to stay alive and survive the harsh Utah winters.īut he also spoke about the kindness he received from those he saw, and those who saw him as more than just homeless, but as a person. Rivers spoke about drugs and alcohol taking over, and his addictions worsening as he lived on the streets. I decided, 'Why should I have this in my life if she's not in my life?' This took me to the streets." "All this happened when my little girl was taken away," he said. Then he lost his little girl, and that's when he said, everything changed. "I showed up in Utah from the East Coast in 2002 to work for the Olympics," Rivers recalled. He spoke to the audience about his experience as a homeless person in Utah. Nine of them were veterans.Ī former homeless man, 54-year-old Fred Rivers, thought that he might have very well had his name added to that list. Of those individuals, the average age was 53 years old, the oldest was 80, and the youngest life lost was just 19 years old. Prior to the evening's memorial service, the number of lives lost this year was 116, but one was reported to have passed away that day, bringing the number to 117. … In many cases, this service will be the only commemoration of their lives." "The goal this evening is to memorialize those who have died in conditions directly related to homelessness. "The idea of having this memorial for homeless persons was to honor the men, women and children who died for conditions related to homelessness," she said. While Atkinson wanted to convey a message of hope to the many individuals experiencing homelessness, and did so as she announced many of the programs being implemented, she made sure to let those in attendance know what the purpose of the vigil was. "I like the longest day of the year because it means the days will be getting lighter for people." 21 is the first day of winter and the longest night of the year," she said during the vigil that was held outdoors in Pioneer Park to "experience what many of our homeless friends experience." Longtime homeless advocate Pamela Atkinson said it wasn't just the cold that was symbolic as she and dozens of others met Tuesday to memorialize the 117 homeless people who lost their lives this year in Utah. ![]()

Other times they appear to be related to low self-esteem. Sometimes pathological lying appears to be related to physical causes, such as problems in the brain. A pathological liar is someone who has no control over their lying, according to Daramus. The lies seem to serve no purpose except to impress people or The stories seem too dramatic or unrealistic Often it happens that a pathological liar will be caught out at a party by someone who really was a pilot, really lived in Africa, or really was a fashion model. Sometimes the flaws may be more subtle and it may take a knowledgeable person to find them. A homely woman will talk about all the men who fell instantly in love with her. This behavior can be part of a personality disorder such as antisocial, narcissistic. They often continue the pattern for years. A fairly young man will describe his heroics in the Vietnam war. Pathological lying usually starts when a person is in their teens. Sometimes people begin to catch onto pathological liars because of obvious flaws in the stories. They often portray the person as being smarter, braver, more attractive, or more interesting than she or he really is. It is important to work with children to teach them about fantasy and reality, instead of punishing them for these kinds of beliefs.Ī pathological liar believes in the lies, at least at the time that she or he is talking. Children with good imaginations often take longer to learn what a lie really is. He may not even be aware that it is a lie. These are all emotions that the pathological liar is incapable of feeling. When a 3-year-old insists that he flew to Mars this morning, he may not be lying on purpose. It makes them capable of love, trust, compassion, and kindness. They lie when they dont even have to and they at times fully believe their lies. Young children sometimes have problems telling fantasy from reality. Some people lie in conducting business and in their personal lives. Sometimes a lie is for our own advantage. Sometimes it is to not hurt someone's feelings. Contrary to all those times you’ve heard a writer confess at a reading that he writes fiction because he is a. It is because most of the time that is not what people do. The most dangerous liars are those who think they are telling the truth. There is a reason why you are asked in court to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. ![]() ![]() Overall, this is an amazing spider and it is no secret they are my all time favorite tarantula. If their abdomen is skinner than their carapace, I will feed more prey more often, but if their abdomen begins to get larger in width than the carapace, I will begin cutting back on the amount and frequency of feeding until it enters pre-molt. Personally my GBB’s rarely will eat dubia roaches, but are always quick to pounce on crickets or meal worms I drop on their webbing, but individual specimens tastes will vary, I am sure. As a rough guideline, I will plan on feeding 5-7 large crickets or a couple dubia roaches every 2-3 weeks. And as adults I base the amount and frequency on the size of their abdomen. Juveniles I will feed one or two medium crickets a ually a cricket about the size of the tarantulas abdomen but no larger than 2/3rds the size of the t. As they grow larger I feed pre-killed small crickets, though these spiderlings get large quick and will be able to take down live small crickets on their own in no time. Like most tarantulas, this T is fine being kept at room temperature, so if you are reasonably comfortable, they will be comfortable.Īs far as feeding, I feed my smallest spiderlings flightless fruit flies or confused flour beetles once or twice a week. Keep the substrate dry and the water dish full and this T will thrive. The Green Bottle Blue prefers an arid environment which makes their husbandry very easy. I wouldn’t go any smaller for a tarantula this size, but you can go as big as a 10 gallon terrestrial style enclosure if you want to really give them a whole lot of room. A good example of the size I keep mine in would be the Tarantula Cribs 12in Cube enclosure or Large Slider enclosure which would provide plenty of room. Then when they have outgrown that enclosure, I move them into their permanent adult enclosure. I set up my GBB enclosures by filling the enclosure about halfway up with substrate (as I have noticed mine sometimes will burrow a little, especially as juveniles) provide a cork bark hide like I would for a terrestrial, and then I add long pieces of cork bark, or branches, and some hanging plants to give the T some anchor points for its webbing and some things it can easily climb vertically. Something like the medium slider crib or 8in tarantula cube from Tarantula Cribs. For juveniles, I move them into an acrylic enclosure that is about 3x their leg span horizontally and vertically at a minimum. I fill the enclosure up at least half so they have plenty of substrate in which they can burrow, but I also put in some small pieces of cork bark or other decorations so they can do some webbing above ground. I keep spiderlings in the Tarantula Cribs spiderling enclosures or an enclosure similar in size. Semi- arboreal means they are ground dwelling but will web up slightly above the ground and SHOULD NOT be confused as meaning they are an arboreal species and should never be kept in arboreal enclosures as that can be unsafe for them. ![]() Technically this tarantula is an opportunistic burrower that shows semi arboreal tendencies in captivity. So building an enclosure with plenty of anchor points for their webbing is very important. This species is also a very heavy webber and will make a series of intricate tunnels and web up most of its enclosure over time. It is probably in pre-molt and will come back out with a voracious appetite after it molts. So if your GBB is refusing to eat for weeks or months and is spending a lot of time hiding in its burrow, don’t worry. Like most tarantulas, they will refuse food when in pre-molt. They have an amazing feeding response and quickly pounce and take down prey as soon as it is offered. So this is not a tarantula I would suggest trying to handle. Mine are prone to kick hairs and then quickly dive into their burrows anytime I am spot cleaning their enclosures or adding some water to their dish. Even though they usually appear docile, they can be very skittish and bolt very quickly. This is a wonderful tarantula, as mine stays out on display most of the time They are gorgeous, and very enjoyable to observe. These T’s have mild venom and urticating hairs that they wont hesitate to kick if they feel threatened or disturbed. Males of this species only live 3 or 4 years but the females can live up to as long as 14 years. ![]() They are considered to have a medium growth rate and reach a leg span from 4.5-6 in when full grown. This is a New World, semi-arboreal tarantula that comes from Northern Venezuela, Paraguana region. Also known as the Green Bottle Blue Tarantula or the GBB.

A Quick And Nasty Method If you don’t believe me have a look at the major scale table you filled out in an earlier lesson. This is because there are no G#, D# or A# major scales. I’ve used a darker background because you can’t use the normal method to work these ones out. Why have I used a darker background for the G#, D# and A# minor pentatonics? Please work out the following minor pentatonic scales, print out this webpage, and then fill out the following table… Step 3: Because the musical spelling of the minor pentatonic scale has a b3 and a b7, we need to flatten the 3 and 7 of the A major scale. Step 2: Because the musical spelling of the minor pentatonic scale doesn’t include a 2 or 6, we need to remove these from the A major scale. ![]() Step 1: Write out the notes of the A major scale. Let’s work out the notes of the A minor pentatonic scale. It’s probably a really good idea to go through an example to make it really clear for you… Example: A Minor Pentatonic Scale The musical spelling tells us what we have to do to the major scale in order to create a minor pentatonic scale. At this stage it’s really important to note the following… The last thing we need to know is how to use the musical spelling of the minor pentatonic scale. The musical spelling is pronounced: “One, Flat Three, Four, Five, Flat Seven”.Īll clear so far? Awesome! How To Use The Musical Spelling Of The Minor Pentatonic Scale One of the first questions some students of mine ask about this is “How do you pronounce it?”. Luckily, I can give you it! The minor pentatonic has the following musical spelling… The next bit of information we need is the musical spelling of the minor pentatonic scale. Musical Spelling Of The Minor Pentatonic Scale Some people call this the musical spelling of the major scale. Notice how at the top there are some numbers. Go back and have a look at the table that you filled in for the major scale. So how do we build a minor pentatonic scale from the major scale? In order to answer that, there’s a few bits of information we need… Scale Degrees Of The Major Scale If you’ve forgotten how the major scale is constructed, then you’ll need to quickly review that before starting with this lesson. In this lesson we’ll explore how the minor pentatonic scale can easily be created from the major scale. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vision Study - Seeking Paid Participants.

Opening with a racing hi-hat rhythm and amiable analog synth, lead single and opener “The Princess and the Clock” feels warm in a way that KKB singles haven’t always straightforward verses give way to a swelling chorus that cuts up and resamples Perry’s voice into a new vocal melody, à la Porter Robinson. KKB describe the songs on Civilisation II as representing past, present, and future, respectively, a concept that feels unnecessary when the music is as intellectually salient and catchy as ever. ![]() The conditions of its creation would seem to inspire another EP of soothsaying, but Civilisation II takes a different tack, focusing on the emotional toll of disaster with ingenuity, wit, and a warm, bright sound scrubbed of Time ‘n’ Place’s grit. In the intervening months, grotesque catastrophe has only become more commonplace: Violent wildfires dominated headlines at the beginning of 2020, before the pandemic-and the ways in which it exposed the seemingly bottomless depths of corporate greed and governmental incompetence-took over. On centerpiece “When the Fires Come,” Perry sang about global decline with prophetic economy: “Everybody takes their time making work to do, do, do, do/But no one will be left here to remember us/When the fires come.”Ĭivilisation II, a second three-song EP, arrives over a year later. Though only three tracks long, it hit hard, evoking nightmarish visions of perpetual war and wildfire smoke. ![]() If Time ‘n’ Place was colored by personal loss, Civilisation I, the band’s 2019 EP, shifted its gaze to the collective loss engendered by colonialism, capitalism, and global heating. Time ‘n’ Place’s “Visiting Hours,” a verité-style account of Lobban’s trip to see his father in the hospital, is typical KKB 2.0: poignant, emotionally aware, and anxious about modern life. ![]() Concurrently, the band’s writing became more precise, less reliant on the deadpan catchphrases that structured early favorites like “ Flamingo.” As hyperpop has become more interested in replicating the memeish terror of the internet-see the abrasive non-sequiturs of 100 gecs-KKB traveled in the other direction, evoking the pathos and bathos of everyday life. In 2018, Time ‘n’ Place took its cues from suburban shoegaze, the indie rock of Phil Elverum, and pop-punk, a musical Venn diagram connected by noise and vivid vignettes. Since Bonito Generation, KKB have strayed further from hyperpop conventions. ![]() ![]() ![]() I replied and mentioned that transfer speed wasn’t what I was expecting and if there was anything I could do… 4 days later nothing. I received an email from the developer within hours (probably automated) asking if there were any issues etc. I installed it and it did exactly what I wanted but in testing I found it was capping out at 800kbps when doing a file transfer - previously with sshfs it would saturate my line. Homebrew has stopped supporting sshfs so started looking at other possible solutions.īefore sshfs I had been using Transmit Drive which is also now deprecated.ĮxpanDrive was the only other bit of software I found that would do what I wanted. I was having issues using sshfs on an iMac that I’d installed using homebrew. What you don’t do is turn into a black hole where follow-up emails are ignored. But when you make a mistake that involves someone else’s money, you fix that mistake as quickly as possible, and you respond to their follow-up emails as quickly as possible. Had they just tried to fix the order immediately or even just checked their system to see that the order had gone through for $150 instead of $50, all of this could have been avoided.Īnyone can make a mistake. That mistake was compounded by a support person who told me to repeat the process. Obviously, the incorrect receipt problem was a mistake. It’s entirely possible now that the refund, assuming it comes, will be on a different billing cycle than the original charges, which is going to make more work for the treasurer to track this down and make sure that it is resolved.Īnyone can make a mistake. ![]() In the meantime, I had to write a letter explaining this whole fiasco to the church treasurer (the whole reason that I wanted this in the first place was to use Google Drive, which the church is starting to use and Google doesn’t yet support M1 Macs for Google drive). I have sent several requests for updates. Two weeks have passed and I have heard nothing more. I explained that this was a business expense and that getting it resolved was a high priority for me. Someone from the support staff replied and said the same thing: they would issue a refund and would get me an updated receipt. To be clear: Instead of $100 worth of charges, I had $300 worth of charges on my debit card because a) their system was broken and b) they told me to go through the process a second time. I’ll send you a new receipt and refund the incorrect charge.” He replied with words to the effect of “Our system isn’t generating receipts properly, but you did get a lifetime license (twice). I replied to him telling him about the problem. Then the developer got in touch (via what I assume is an automated system that asked how my experience with “ExpanDrive” was going). Now I had two incorrect licenses and two incorrect charges for $50/each (or so I thought). I went through the exact same steps again and had the exact same result. ![]() They asked me to place a second order for the “lifetime” license, and then they would refund the first. I contacted support and reported this issue to them. Upon completion of the sale, the receipt page showed that I had only been charged for a one-year license ($50), even though I was sure that I had selected the “lifetime” license. On March 9th I tried to purchase a “lifetime” license for StrongSync ($150), the new tool for Google Drive which works on M1 Macs (and which allegedly will work with Dropbox “soon”). ![]() |
