"Maybe," he thinks, "it was a hopeless place." As a boy, Amir cravenly betrays his servant and best friend, the Hazara boy Hassan. But the narrator wonders if his people will ever transcend the tribalism that continues to threaten Afghanistan's integrity. The novel portrays the Afghans as an independent and proud people who for decades have defended their country against one invader after another. The first novel to be written in English by an Afghan, it spans the period from before the 1979 Soviet invasion until the reconstruction following the fall of the odious Taliban. The Kite Runner, a novel by Afghan-American writer Khaled Hosseini, takes this clarification one step further. It needed food, not vengeance sympathy, not hate. It pleaded with Americans to realize that Afghanistan was already a devastated country. ![]() For me, The Kite Runner is one of them.After September 11th, as it became apparent that the United States would bomb Afghanistan, an open letter written by an Afghan appeared on the Internet. Some books need to stay on the pages so we readers could bring them to life through our own imaginations. Quite frankly, I found the play boring, yet most in the audience stood and cheered for the performers at the end. I know that I enjoyed the book, yet I found myself indifferent to Amir’s endless narration and some poor choices of dramatic elements in the play. Sitting onstage, he performed for almost the entire show. One of the highlights was the presence of Salar Nader playing the tabla, the twin hand drums used in Hindustani classical music. The poignant moments, dad’s final hug, Hassan’s son in the hospital with Amir praying, should have been moving but lacked drama. The show might have been better served had a younger actor played Amir as a child while the narrator watched from the side. Sirakian, slighter and smaller than Arison, appears younger, so when the two wrestle and play as friends, it’s actually a bit uncomfortable watching a grown man ‘playing’ with a young boy. Since it’s Amir’s story and his flashback, Arison portrays Amir as a boy as well as an adult when he gets to America. Hassan, Amir's friend, played by Eric Sirakian, punctuates his speech, often speaking too loudly. Baba (Faran Tahir as Baba) is brusque and bombastic, emphasizing words. Director Giles Croft also allows his actors to over-emote. Then he turns to the audience, telling us that he didn't tell her but tells us everything he would have told her- things we already witnessed.īecause of flaws in the script, we don’t connect with the characters. He harbors guilt and a soul-crushing secret, so when his fiancee reveals something about her past, he begins to tell her-but stops. There’s also a lot of unnecessary dialogue as Amir tells us what we already know and have seen. How does that event advance our understanding of Amir and his relationships? After learning the doctor’s family is from Russia, Baba refuses to see him. Years later in America, Baba becomes ill. Amir and Baba, his father, are forced to flee Afghanistan when the monarchy is overthrown and the Russians invade. ![]() ![]() Yet specific events when dramatized, often add little substance or understanding for the audience. Spangler attempts to tell too much and often has Amir narrating the events, detailing history quickly and almost dispassionately. The popular maxim in writing is “Show, Don’t Tell” and that’s one way in which the show and playwright Matthew Spangler go astray. So the new show The Kite Runner at The Hayes Theater was in a good position to be a hit. That would suggest a great Broadway ticket potential. Over 7 million copies of the book were sold in the US and made its rounds in book clubs. When young Amir, the main character, fails to intercede in an attack on his friend and servant Hassan, it puts a series of events in play, leading to a lifetime of guilt and recrimination for Amir. The novel, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini published in 2003, covers tumultuous times in Afghanistan's recent history, from the fall of the monarchy, the Soviet invasion, the exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime.īut at its heart, it is the story of a father and the son who so desperately wants his love and approval. While the show has name recognition and is sure to attract loyal readers, it also creates expectations-sometimes unreasonable. Adapting a beloved bestselling book into a Broadway show is not without its challenges. ![]() I gave this a chance but I refuse to even pay $.99 for the ad free version of this. Loved it enough to move to the subscription service when they dropped that. I had the app for a very long time before this. Load it and play with it to discover the many options available to monitor the weather the way you choose. The this app tool is one of the top apps on my phone today. Also, in my duties as a volunteer firefighter I monitor and depend upon accurate data for fire conditions and tracking storms. My daily job is heavily impacted by the weather and storms in general. This will provide you the app tracking data and by tapping on the the app marker, you will be provided all of the the app detail utilized by the meteorologists! The radar layers at the bottom of the page allows you to customize the data and alerts that you wish to receive. Monitoring the app systems? Add the app Tracker in the Radar layers section at the bottom of the page. Need more detail, just slide downward on the banner and get your information. Wondering about the weather in another place? Just tap on the map and the weather banner for that location appears, no need to search the city name. Just pulling down on the temperature banner provides you with much more in-depth weather data, probably more than the average person cares to see. The new this app is an excellent app once you learn to navigate the new system. Why would anyone put out a newer version that is inferior to their previous product? Like many of you, at first glance I thought what a letdown and a waste the new the app App is compared to the older version. Install Storm Radar: Weather Tracker on your Mac using the same steps for Windows OS above.

In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.ĬNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change. In the interview, "HanA**holeSolo" sounded nervous about his identity being revealed and asked to not be named out of fear for his personal safety and for the public embarrassment it would bring to him and his family.ĬNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. The apology has since been taken down by the moderators of /The_Donald subreddit.Īfter posting his apology, "HanA**holeSolo" called CNN's KFile and confirmed his identity. I have the highest respect for the journalist community and they put their lives on the line every day with the jobs that they do in reporting the news." I thought it was the original post that was made and that is why I took credit for it. What the President's feed showed was not the original post that was posted here, but loaded up somewhere else and sound added to it then sent out on Twitter. "I had no idea anyone would take it and put sound to it and then have it put up on the President's Twitter feed. "The meme was created purely as satire, it was not meant to be a call to violence against CNN or any other news affiliation," he wrote. On Tuesday, "HanA**holeSolo" posted his apology on the subreddit /The_Donald and deleted all of his other posts. On Monday, KFile attempted to contact the man by email and phone but he did not respond. The apology came after CNN's KFile identified the man behind "HanA**holeSolo." Using identifying information that "HanA**holeSolo" posted on Reddit, KFile was able to determine key biographical details, to find the man's name using a Facebook search and ultimately corroborate details he had made available on Reddit. Since when is it the job of the news media to report, or not report, the news depending upon whether someone behaves how they want? Univision, which until recently was best known as a Spanish-language TV network, has been expanding its digital reach in recent years by acquiring satire site The Onion and The Root, a publication aimed at African-Americans.Īnd earlier this year it picked up full ownership of Fusion, the network and digital publisher aimed at millennials, which it originally launched in conjunction with Disney.This public threat issued by CNN to an anonymous meme maker marks an interesting development in so-called "professional journalism". Last year, as rival media companies like Vice, BuzzFeed and Vox Media (which owns this site) were raising money at increasingly high valuations, Denton was arguing that his company was worth $250 million or more. Whatever the result of the case, the auction is a disappointing conclusion for Denton, who founded the company in 2002. When it is final, the judgment funds will be set aside while Gawker appeals its court case eventually the money will go to the side that wins. bankruptcy court judge needs to sign off on the transaction. "But ultimately Univision prevailed, and both sides are happy with the outcome." Both parties put in an awful lot of work, and Ziff Davis deserves credit for their effort," Patricof said. Mark Patricof, the Houlihan Lokey banker who represented Gawker Media, confirmed the sale price. We could not have picked an acquirer more devoted to vibrant journalism." I am pleased that our employees are protected and will continue their work under new ownership - disentangled from the legal campaign against the company. ![]() Here's a statement from Gawker Media owner Nick Denton: "Gawker Media Group has agreed this evening to sell our business and popular brands to Univision, one of America’s largest media companies that is rapidly assembling the leading digital media group for millennial and multicultural audiences. Ziff Davis had originally offered $90 million for Gawker Media.

Keep your arm in this position, visible to other drivers behind you, until you have safely come to a complete stop. This hand signal is a universal sign of slowing down your vehicle. So, extend your left arm from the driver's window, pointing your arm downward, with your fingers extended and palm facing rearward. In that case, you can safely indicate to other drivers your intent to slow down or stop using the following steps. Suppose you are in an unfortunate situation where your brake light has malfunctioned or stopped working. Understanding essential hand signals and what each sign means helps maintain the safety of all divers on the road. In that case, hand signals provide a way to communicate safely with other drivers about your intention of changing lanes or slowing down.ĭepending on your DMV-appointed driving test instructor, and state laws, you may also be required to recall hand signals on your road test to achieve your driver's license. Suppose your vehicle's turn signals have stopped operating correctly or a brake light goes out. While hand signals are not typically used while driving, aside from the occasional road rage incident, there are situations where utilizing hand signs may become imperative. Whether it be a sweep of the hand as you offer an "After you," an "I do not know" shrug accompanied by skyward palms, or simple thumbs up in approval, we use hand signals daily. If you have any questions about hand signals, reach on out to the team at Bullhide 4×4.Hand signals are utilized throughout our daily lives to communicate non-verbally. If the driver and spotter are in agreement and use the same hand signals, you should safely be able to maneuver your vehicle through tough, off-road obstacles. You may have varying hand signals than the ones listed above and that is okay. Stop– One or two closed fists signal the driver to stop the vehicle and the winch. Winch Out– A closed first with thumbs pointed in indicate the driver to power the winch out.ģ. Winch In– A closed fist with thumbs pointed out indicate the driver to pull the winch in.Ģ. At other times, the driver may need to back up and re-start the obstacle again and/or re-position the vehicle for a better angle.Īs for winching, there are a few hand signals you and your spotter should know to help guide you safely.ġ. This signal accompanied with the thumb to index motion shows the driver that they need to back up a little. Reverse/ Backup – Open your palm towards the driver and make a pushing motion backwards. Verbal commans can also be used by telling the driver to steer drive or passenger side.Ĥ. Exaggerated movements mean to go full lock, subtle moves for small corrections. Turning– Pointing with the index finger thumb, left or right, will let the driver know to turn the wheel. Stop– A closed fist will tell your driver to stopģ. Pinch your thumb and index finger if you would like them to inch closerĢ. ![]() Come Forward– Place your hand in the air with your palm facing towards you to wave the drive in. It is also recommended that you use terms driver and passenger since left and right can be confusing for the drive and spotter.ġ. Using hand signals with voice commands is ideal since voice commands can sometimes be hard to hear. ![]() Drive slow– Slowly accelerating and being patient is important to maneuver safely and avoid scraping your vehicle or breaking any parts. Make sure you use your emergency brake, though!ģ. ![]() Get out and take a look yourself– There is no shame in hopping out of your vehicle to take a look at the situation yourself before making a move. ![]() Use a spotter – A spotter is a second set of eyes that can get out of the vehicle and direct your safely.Ģ.

Ranging from multisubunit ring-shaped chaperonin and Hsp100 machines that use their central cavities to bind and compartmentalize action on proteins, to machines that use other topologies of recognition - binding cellular proteins in an archway or at the surface of a "clamp" or at the surface of a globular assembly - the structures show us the ways and means the cell has devised to assist its major effectors, proteins, to reach and maintain their unique active forms, as well as, when required, to disrupt protein structure in order to remodel or degrade. This unique volume reviews the beautiful architectures and varying mechanical actions of the set of specialized cellular proteins called molecular chaperones, which provide essential kinetic assistance to processes of protein folding and unfolding in the cell. ![]() The latter is achieved through the interplay of cardiovascular responses, thermoregulation, body size, hydrodynamics, and cost-efficient swimming ( Kooyman and Ponganis, 1998 Davis, 2014 Williams and Davis, 2021). Such dive performance is dependent on increased oxygen (O 2) storage, hypoxemic tolerance, pressure tolerance, and the regulation of metabolism ( Ponganis, 2015). Maximum reported dive durations are even more impressive: 3.7 h in Cuvier’s beaked whale, 2 h in elephant seals, and 32 min in emperor penguins ( Hindell et al., 1991 Stewart and DeLong, 1995 Goetz et al., 2018 Quick et al., 2020). ![]() Routine durations and depths of deep dives of exceptional divers are remarkable: 60–70 min and 1,400 m in Cuvier’s beaked whale ( Ziphius cavirostris), 20–30 min and 400–600 m in elephant seals ( Mirounga sp.), and 8–12 min and 400–500 m in emperor penguins ( Aptenodytes forsteri) ( Le Boeuf et al., 1986 Hindell et al., 1991 Kooyman and Kooyman, 1995 Tyack et al., 2006 Sato et al., 2011 Robinson et al., 2012 Schorr et al., 2014 Shearer et al., 2019 Kooyman et al., 2020). “These are opening the door to a much greater understanding of how these animals are able to perform some quite amazing feats of diving and exercise,” she says.The diving prowess of marine mammals and seabirds has long fascinated biologists as well as the lay public. ![]() Recent technological advances have enabled these kinds of readings to be collected from free-living whales, says Hooker. These results demonstrate “the quite extraordinary level of flexibility and control that these diving mammals have over their heart rate and blood flow”, says Sascha Hooker at the University of St Andrews, UK. Whales then recover upon resurfacing by dramatically increasing their breathing and heart rate, he says. The reduction in heart rate during dives enables whales to temporarily redistribute oxygenated blood from the heart to other muscles needed for lunging, says Goldbogen. The whale’s heart rate was at its lowest when it was diving for food and shot up after it resurfaced, reaching a peak of 37 beats per minute. The whale dived for as long as 16.5 minutes at a time, reaching a maximum depth of 184 metres, and stayed at the surface for intervals ranging from 1 to 4 minutes. Read more: Humpback whales use their flippers to swat salmon into their mouths They detected heart rates of just 2 to 8 beats per minute hundreds of times. The researchers were then able to monitor the whale’s heart rate for almost 9 hours. The monitors were held in place with suction cups. During lunge feeding, a blue whale engulfs a volume of prey-filled water that can be larger than its own body.įrom a large inflatable boat in Monterey Bay, California, Goldbogen and his team used a 6-metre pole to attach heart rate monitors to a single blue whale. The finding is particularly extraordinary given that whales have an energetically demanding feeding method, says Jeremy Goldbogen at Stanford University, California. Previous predictions were that the whales would have a resting heart rate of 15 beats per minute. This is well below the rates the large animals were calculated to have. When blue whales dive for food they can reduce their heart rates to as low as 2 beats per minute. We have checked the pulse of a wild-living blue whale for the first time, and discovered something remarkable.

This moniker ’s closest brush with fame came with the 1969 single “We ’re All Living in One Place. He released a few more singles, which went nowhere, then with Leander hitched onto the hippie craze and renamed Gadd once more, to the implausible Rubber Bucket. Another change of name marked the occasion: Gadd now became Paul Monday. In 1968 MCA named Leander head of its United Kingdom division, and he immediately signed Gadd. Glitter began his career as Paul Russell the late 1950s performed and recorded singles as Paul Russell and the Rebels, Paul Raven, Rubber Bucket, and Gary Glitter.Īddresses: Record company -Rhino Records, 10635 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025.

But out of the ashes of this nine-piece band emerged Boston International, Gadd ’s next back-up act. Leander hired Gadd for the Mike Leander Show Band, another abysmal failure. His fortunes changed around 1965 when he came to the attention of Mike Leander, a noted production genius of the era along the lines of Andrew Loog Oldham (who worked with the Rolling Stones) and George Martin (sometimes called “the fifth Beatle ”). Gadd then worked as a session musician and even did commercial work to get by. He recorded a few singles, was halfheartedly promoted as “ Britain ’s first R&B singer, ” then dropped. ![]() Gadd changed his name to Paul Raven around 1960 and started touring England the gigs, though sometimes a flop, helped get him signed with EMI subsidiary Parlophone the following year. With them he cut his first record, “Alone in the Night ” it was not a hit, but by this point he was earning enough money on the nightclub circuit to move out into his own apartment he was just fifteen. In 1958 Gadd formed his first band, Paul Russell and the Rebels the Russell was his stepfather ’s name. Some were swanky, but others were reputed gangster haunts. His first performances came at a local club ’s open-mike night, and though still a teen was easily hired for singing engagements in nightclubs. Born in 1944 - or, by some accounts, 1940 -Gadd grew up in Croydon, a South London suburb, and as a young teen became enamored with the music of early rock pioneers like Elvis Presley and Ray Charles. “Gary Glitter ” was one of several aliases Paul Gadd used during his long recording career. Rex sparkle and David Bowie sashay, through Slade ’s patent stomp and Sweet ’s candied pop, ” wrote Dave Thompson in Goldmine, “and though it didn ’t quite make #1, it hung around the chart so long there ’s not another song on earth that recaptures the moment like one. ![]() “Instantly nostalgic, but like nothing else on earth, ‘Rock and Roll ’ cut though everything that was around that English summer, through the T. But it may be for the wildly successful “Rock and Roll (Part II), ” released in 1972, by which Glitter will be remembered. His recording career began in the early days of rock and roll, and morphed through a hippie phase, glam rock, bad Seventies rock, finally, Eighties revivalism. The MoJ had said on his release that he would face “some of the strictest licence conditions” and that if he flouted them at any point he could go back behind bars.Though best known for a rousing rock anthem that has become a trademark sound at American sporting events, Gary Glitter was far from a one-hit wonder. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) did not give details of the breach, but The Sun reported he was caught trying to access the dark web.įootage last week showed the former singer staring at a mobile phone while reportedly in his bail hostel. ![]() How did Gary Glitter breach his licence conditions? He was convicted of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one of having sex with a girl under 13. In 2015, Glitter was jailed for sexually abusing three schoolgirls. That’s why we set tough licence conditions and when offenders breach them, we don’t hesitate to return them to custody.” What was Gary Glitter convicted of?
