Ghost rider agents of shield reyes11/28/2023 ![]() While it still hasn’t been made clear what Mace’s abilities are, it was nice to see him give GR a reason to stoke his own flames, some. Of particularly entertaining discomfort, this time around: Coulson & Fitz learning that the Rider doesn’t do ‘Binding me with Science,’ and Mace getting checked, regarding his role as Human Shield. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is often at its best when its star players get taken out of their comfort zones and the soul-sold-to-the-Devil meme (be annoying if regarded as anything else) has been a reliable source for just such discomfort. Since one good Bad Blazer deserved another, that flashback appearance was followed by the current incarnation – at the culmination of the Coulson-Mace dance. The GS was the OG GR, baby! All fired up, no Nick Cage preservatives! I could go on, but I still got more show to pick at – talk among yourselves. I also imagine that most viewers, myself included, might’ve felt the point of the origin story buried the lead, a bit. That went away with the truth, however and I’m going to have to side with Daisy, on this one – Robbie’s confession did not go well, at all. After his last meeting with Daisy, I was left kinda hating the guy but his flashback self seemed decent enough, and he seemed to take to his initial notion (of what Robbie’s story/ secret was) pretty well. We also had a character regression, in the form of Gabe. ![]() That price was clumsily delivered – by gangbangers who din’t know what a proper Molotov Cocktail was, and didn’t think to open their ambush with a quick spray to the windscreen – but Robbie gave the right answer, to the wrong question, asked by the titular figure, and we had us an origin. Robbie was just stupid, and stupid loves company, so Gabe paid a price for Robbie’s ‘dull boy’ challenge. It’s already been established that there was an element of guilt, to Robbie’s protectiveness towards Gabe but the flashback brought new context to that guilt. That falling out eventually led to a mistaken identity hit – the mistaken targets being Robbie & Gabe ( Lorenzo James Henrie). See, “back in the day,” Robbie’s uncle, Eli ( José Zúñiga), had confronted Lucy Bauer ( Lilli Birdsell) & spouse, over their use of the Darkhold, and the subsequent Gollum effect it had on them. This it did but not necessarily in any way good or useful. Daisy was pretty handy with spinning a cover yarn but by the time the three were left hanging, Robbie took what would be the first swing, in the episode’s effort to get some of Robbie’s family issues out of the way. ![]() Daisy ( Chloe Bennet) had brought Gabe aboard, for a bit of protective custody, putting Robbie in kind of ‘Splaining to Do spot. While they were having all the fun, the subjects of the search had some hang time to kill so it was story time. The Mace matter primarily focus on his relationship with Coulson, however, as the Senator’s leverage forced an armed ‘inspection’ of the Zephyr, and a really neat, running brinkmanship banter, between the old & new boss. I can see the show maybe milking the separation, to get more miles out of a pissed Fitz. ![]() This development made Fitz in something of a mood, the whole episode but the current Fitz actually seems to be at his best when slightly pissed. I’m sure we were meant to think of Mace being strong-armed by a certain Senator but I’m not buying the Mace as smiling stealth villain. That menace remained in evidence, as he had Simmons ( Elizabeth Henstridge) spirited off to some special, super-secret assignment for the Government. The old bait-and-switch routine has made for some fun moments, with the new Director but wouldn’t have been possible without some genuine menace to the man. It also served as a tension breaker, between Coulson ( Clark Gregg) & Mace ( Jason O’Mara), even as Mace created a new source of tension for Fitz ( Iain De Caestecker). Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Good Samaritan ReviewĪBC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., season 4, episode 6, ‘The Good Samaritan,’ turned out to be a bit of surprise fan-service, but ultimately served to reduce Robbie Reyes’ ( Gabriel Luna) Ghost Rider arc, as it has so far been, to a set-up for something bigger & more personal. Mother son gameshow download11/27/2023 The American producers watched hours of Japanese game shows, took the most common elements and created all of the games, with help from producers in Japan, who also produced the game segments at Toho Studios. Majide (which is Japanese slang for "Seriously?!"), the show-within-the-show, was not an actual Japanese game show, but was intended to resemble a Japanese game show. The format was created by Danish producers Karsten Bartholin and David Sidebotham for Babyfoot ApS, and was originally titled Big in Japan. and Tim Cresenti of Small World International Format Television as executive producers and Weed directing, and is distributed by Disney/ABC's Greengrass Productions division.

Episodes are narrated by Robert Cait. ![]() ![]() In season 2, they live in the Majide Guest House with Mama-san. The contestants lived in a house together in the suburb of Kasai, with a Mama-san (Kozue Saito), who generally expects the contestants to live in line with Japanese culture and customs. The series followed not only the Majide competition, but also the contestants' activities backstage and outside the game show in reality style. The winner is also greeted by the same "sayonara mob" dressed in white suits, known as the "omedeto mob" ("congratulations mob") (優勝者決定). The final two competed in one final challenge, dubbed Super Majide!, which comprises various elements combined from past challenges for the season, and the winner of the final challenge is named the season's winner and won $250,000 (¥25 million) cash prize. In the final phase of the competition, teams are dissolved and the remaining contestants compete in challenges as individuals, with the last-placed contestant facing elimination. The winner of the first game would be awarded with an advantage for the second challenge, and two members of the team that lost the second game would compete in an elimination challenge. In the second season, episodes prior to the finale had three games each. The two members compete and the losing contestant is eliminated from the show, which would be carried offstage and sent back to the United States by the "sayonara mob" (脱落者决定), dressed in black suits. The losing team in each team challenge had to nominate two members to compete in an elimination challenge head-to-head (if the team could not reach a decision, the winning team decides the members instead however, if the team had only two members remaining, they will be competing by default). Teams are assigned into one of two teams and competed in Challenges against each other the winning team was given a reward activity while the losing team was given a punishment activity after their team game. For Season Two, Majide host Rome Kanda surprised each of the contestants in their hometowns informing them they were going to Japan. They are flown to Tokyo, Japan, and taken to the Toho Studios, where it is revealed that they are to compete on a Japanese game show called Majide ( 本気で). ![]() In Season One, the contestants are informed that they are to take part in a reality-style competition, but not informed of the nature of the show. On March 5, 2010, it was announced that ABC had not renewed the show for a third season. On October 9, 2008, it was renewed for a second season. The series won both the Best Reality prize and the overall prize at the 2009 Rose d'Or ceremony. The winner takes home US$250,000 ( JP ¥25 million). ![]() The show followed a group of Americans, who leave the United States for Japan where they competed in a Japanese style game show.

Black onyx benefits11/27/2023 ![]() The idea that it can alleviate negative feelings remains pervasive in that wearing Onyx jewelry is still believed to help you keep pessimism away, to do away with negative thoughts. Some people wear Onyx jewelry so that they can improve their memory, bring balance to their mind, or reduce their stress. ![]() Today it is believed to be a stone that helps you primarily in your mind. It is also thought by many to heighten your instincts, as it did with Cleopatra, to increase your happiness, and to aid you in changing bad habits. It has been used for its ability to heal physical and emotional trauma, to provide stability in life, and to provide self-control. You might see beautiful jewelry designed with a hand carved face or animal in white atop a black backdrop, which is crafted by carving away into the white top layer to expose part of the black base layer. ![]() This is commonly referred to as “Arabic onyx” or “true” onyx. The various bands or layers mean a singel gemstone can feature intricate color patterns.īlack and white layers of onyx are the most common, usually with a foundation layer in black and a white layer on top. Typically you find onyx in black, or white with bands, but there are some rare specimens that come in shades of brown, yellow, blue, or red layers too. In addition to being waxy, it offers opaque transparency. Its luster is quite waxy with a hardness level of 7. Onyx is often hexagonal in its microcrystalline state. Chalcedony is a mixture of quartz and morganite. Onyx, whose name derives from the Greek word for “claw” or “nail”, is a variety of chalcedony. What is Onyx Gemstone made from, in terms of natural chemical properties? Aer sf day pack11/27/2023 ![]() What is the bottom line? I absolutely love this bag. It also uses a grey backing fabric and when combined with the ballistic nylon on the sides, gives the bag a very identifiable look that I really enjoy. Was it going to be stiff and rubbery like my Black Ember Citadel? Was it going to be loud and crinkly like VX sailcloth? When the bag arrived, I was pleased to find that the material feels very robust, while at the same time being pliable and quiet. When I ordered the bag, I did not really know what to expect from the textile used on the front panel. A side handle on the Day Pack would make it much easier to quickly install and remove the pack onto your suitcase. However, where the lack of a side handle becomes most apparent is if you use the luggage passthrough on the back of the bag. The Day Pack 2 is a small enough bag that the top handle is more than sufficient. Also, you can solve this “problem” by stepping up in size to the Tech Pack 2, which does include a side handle. However, because the internal layout is completely geared towards top access, the side handle is not really necessary. I would love to be able to pick the bag up in a “traditional briefcase” orientation. The only place I can fault this bag is that it lacks a side handle. If your daily carry fit into the smaller size of the Day Pack 2 vs the Tech Pack 2 ($210) this bag is the clearly the value champion. When you consider the materials, the warranty, the build quality, and the unique look, the value proposition is off the charts. VALUE PROPOSITION: This bag retails for $140 directly from Aer and with a 20% coupon that is periodically offered on holidays (most recently Memorial Day), this bag can be had for $112. It is a one-stop-shop for all your gear without needing to open a secondary tech pouch, which I have found to be a game-changer during the workday. ![]() Even with those items, there is still plenty of room for a legal pad or notebook in the front compartment as well. ![]() I put my MBP charger and cable in the two bottom pockets, my iPhone in the top pocket, pens in the middle, my keys attached to the lanyard, and my wallet/passport in the zippered compartment. No matter how it is loaded, it will stand solidly on its base right by a chair or on the table, always ready for action.įRONT ADMIN PANEL: the admin panel in the front compartment features a great layout with just the right number of pockets. STANDS ON ITS OWN: this bag was designed to stand on its own and it is the most stable bag I have ever used in that regard. The other advantage of its compact size will be increased leg room under the seat when airline travel resumes. I am 5’10” and was worried the bag would appear too small, but it definitely has enough presence on the back to look great. I also typically need a binder or book and this bag handles those things with ease. It is what every bag maker should emulate.ĬOMPACT SIZE: I carry a MBP13 or an iPad Pro 11, a Kindle Oasis, a light jacket, snacks, tech support cables, hard drive, and a bottle of water. The handle is constructed of a thick stitched seatbelt material with memory foam inside that feels great in the hand. As I said in my Bellroy Apex review, sometimes the feel of the handles can make or break the user experience. The top handle is also one of the best top handles I have ever used. I no longer feel the need to use either a laptop sleeve or a hard case for my sunglasses because the padding and liner fabric on the Day Pack 2 is so robust. The best way to describe both of these compartments is that they are built-in soft cases. Perhaps most impressive is the thick foam padding used to construct both the quick-access pocket as well as the entire laptop sleeve. The Day Pack 2 has perfect stitch lines, no loose threads, and it features a unique, water-resistant textile on the front panel. MATERIALS + BUILD: all Aer bags that I have owned have impeccable build-quality and this bag is no exception. ![]() My new Aer Day Pack 2 arrived a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I would post some initial impressions and a short review for anyone on the fence. AER DAY PACK 2 REVIEW: PERFECT MINIMAL EDC ![]() If your child’s coach says that they completely understand the necessary moves and the sport, then it should be perfectly safe to enroll your child in an event. Spend time talking with your child’s coaches to determine when they are physically and mentally capable of participating in a competition. If your child does not know how to properly make all the necessary moves, they are not ready to participate in a Jiu-Jitsu competition. ![]() There are several techniques that, if not done properly, will result in an injury to either your child or their sparring partner. ![]() There are a few factors to consider regarding the right time to introduce your child to a Jiu-Jitsu competition: The level of proficiency they show with the sport is also important. Your Child’s Jiu-Jitsu ProficiencyĪge and maturity are not the only factors to consider when it comes to deciding to allow your child to participate in a competition. While your child may be good at Jiu-Jitsu, do not rush them into competing if they are not mature enough to show good sportsmanship. To be frank, that is not always the case. The following characteristics are required in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu:Īll parents tend to believe that their child is great in whatever sport they are playing. If your child cannot exemplify that in their actions, they are too young or immature to participate in a competition. Likewise, if they are showboating around the mats every time they win, again, they are too young and immature to participate in a sporting event.Įnough cannot be said about the level of respect and decorum that goes along with Jiu-Jitsu. If your child still gets extremely upset when they lose, they are too young to participate in any Jiu-Jitsu competition. That means not boasting after a win or sulking after a loss. It takes a degree of maturity for a child to understand the importance of winning or losing gracefully. Younger children tend not to understand nor appreciate how to act when they win or lose. Make sure that they have developed the necessary skills and maturity to set them up for success. To be successful in training and in a competition, your child needs to know and understand all the rules of the sport and competition event.ĭo not rush your child into any competitive event, whether it is Jiu-Jitsu or some other sport. Jiu-Jitsu is just as much about respect and decorum as it is about the perfection of this specific martial art. This will ruin the experience, not just for them but for everyone else trying to participate. As stated above, if your child cannot sit still and learn the rules of the sport, they will not be able to compete properly. In any sport, there is a list of rules that must be followed for success. If your child is too young to understand this, they are too young to compete. Additionally, they begin to learn to pay attention to lessons for a much longer period as they age.Īny martial arts training requires a certain degree of dedication and decorum built into not only the training but also the competitions. They would much rather play with the other children around them or stare off into space thinking about something else, like playing with their favorite toy.Īs children age and grow, they begin to learn how they are supposed to act around others. Most children under eight years old do not yet comprehend the importance of sitting still and listening to instructions. Rather, this is simply pointing out that the average child has these characteristics at that age. This is not any form of an attack on your child or your parenting. If you have a normal child under eight years of age, the odds are that they are high-strung, self-absorbed, and have the attention span of a gnat. Brave new world chapter 4 summary11/26/2023 ![]() John's quotation of Shakespeare refers to the popular tradition of the fitchew's enthusiasm for mating.Ĭivet a yellowish, fatty substance with a musklike scent, secreted by a gland near the genitals of the civet cat and used in making some perfumes. John's outburst here looks forward to his later violent passions after leaving London - especially the "atonement" that ends in his death.įitchew a polecat or weasel. Again, Huxley underlines the relationship of music with the disappearance of inhibition and the expression of strong emotion. As he shakes her violently, slaps and threatens to kill her, he mutters Shakespeare's most passionate verses about unfaithful women, the "drums and music" of the fierce poetry goading him on in his fury. John's early experience has taught him to associate sex with violence, and his conditioning suddenly takes over as his romantic vision of Lenina disappears. ![]() In John's eyes, if Lenina is not a prize to be won through suffering, then she must be a whore - a "strumpet" to be scorned. In continuing her sexual approach, Lenina unknowingly steps outside the boundaries that John's education have set down for a worthy women. Both the traditions of Malpais and the poetry of Shakespeare demand a period of trials, an enforced labor, that will earn the lover the right to marry his beloved.īut trials, labor, and marriage have no meaning in the dystopia. But John's view of romance takes a more complex form. Lenina's plan is straightforward - a direct invitation, undressing, a few lines of a love song, and sex will most certainly follow. ![]() The resulting seduction scene is a farce, with neither Lenina nor John knowing what the other is really thinking or feeling. Conditioned to think of sex as recreational and relationships as fluid and changing, Lenina does not recognize that her curiosity, attraction, and regard for John is, in fact, a serious infatuation that may become love. In taking the sensible Fanny's advice to force the issue with John - and thus get her anti-social feelings over with - Lenina expects the same relief. The emotional intensity was "horrible," just like Lenina's longing, but the passion ended with sexual relief. Lenina's frustration recalls the incident in Chapter 3 when a student remembers having to wait a month before a young woman would have sex with him. The possibility that John's sexual restraint is the expression of his own deeply held values and beliefs never occurs to her. Lenina, who is eager for sex with "the Savage" experiences frustration but interprets John's indifference as simple shyness, which she can overcome by taking a firm hand with him. ![]() So far in London, John has appeared quaint, innocent, and - with the exception of his refusal to join Bernard's party - agreeable. In her attempted seduction, Lenina uncovers a disturbingly violent side to John. In this chapter, Lenina determines to approach John for sex directly, rather than continuing to wait for him to take her. The chapter ends with a phone call for John with the news that his mother is dying. Horrified by Lenina's sexual freedom, John pushes her away, threatening to kill the "impudent strumpet." Lenina retreats in fear. Frustrated by John's shyness, Lenina determines to take the sexual lead with "the Savage." When John addresses her with the formality of Malpais tradition and Shakespearean poetry, the confused Lenina simply undresses and approaches him directly. AuthorWrite something about yourself.
