Well, Mexican culture is very ingenious and not only has its own words, but also transforms them or gives them new meanings. Therefore, the word tortilla can be a constant in everyday Mexican speech, while in Spain the word tapa is more recurrent. ![]() Do you think that all over the world the most used words are the same? It may be that yes because every human being expresses basic human situations most of the time, but indisputably each culture can express the same thing in very different ways even though we speak the same language, that is, the unique characteristics of each nation also make its language unique.

Kelcie Mattson is just a small town girl and a senior features writer for Collider. As such, parents and educators stopped placing as much importance behind speech lessons, and without anyone to continue learning an invented accent that lacked any organic roots, the Mid-Atlantic accent died off. That shift also reflected the transformation of American society at large following the emotional displacement of World War II. Up-and-coming directors, screenwriters, and actors wanted a more truthful celluloid reflection of real life, hence the rise of Marlon Brando-esque stars from the 1950s onward. But she also retained the accent even after it fell out of style with the emergence of method acting. Hepburn was magnetically energetic in her own right, with rarely a script she didn't seize between her teeth and shake for all its worth. RELATED: 10 Classic Thrillers That Have Aged Like Fine WineĪlongside the majority of her fellows, Katharine Hepburn remains one of the figures most associated with the Mid-Atlantic affectation between her naturally arch yet laconic tone, authoritative presence, and multiplicity of starring roles. Although the Mid-Atlantic accent's origins undoubtedly lie with an elitist concept, in the right hands (er, throats), it helped tie performers intrinsically to overarching ideas of grace, dignity, and authority, regardless of genre. Listen to how any Bette Davis or Myrna Loy performance sparkles like kindling to a live fire, or the warm gravitas behind Gregory Peck. What charm would screwball comedies like His Girl Friday or The Philadelphia Story have if audiences couldn't understand all those dueling words launched between the actors like choreographed tennis balls? Other hallmarks, like emphasizing /t/ sounds over /d/s, rounding and extending the /oo/, and subverting the wine-whine principle (when the merging /hw/ sound becomes just /w/ instead) enhanced dramatic conviction or established an atmosphere. Phonetics such as gentler vowels and non-rhoticity (aka, dropping the /r/ sound before consonants and at the end of words) gave line deliveries their own melody, which projected eloquence as much as it complimented the fast-talking, tongue-twisting banter that relied so heavily on rhythmic timing.

The painting was included in the Degenerate Art exhibition that opened in July 1937 in Munich. In 1937, the German Nazi Party launched its campaign against modern art and began confiscating artworks that they considered ‘degenerate’ from museums and galleries. After World War I, the painting was acquired for the contemporary section of the National Gallery in Berlin. The exhibition was modeled after the French Salon d’Automne (Autumn Salon) and was the largest and most significant exhibition held in Germany before World War I. In the fall of 1913, the painting was exhibited in the First German Autumn Salon in Berlin. If so, the tower of horses would be a rhythmical repetition of the successive movement of a single horse. ![]() At the same time, given Marc’s interest in Futurist art, this could be an interpretation of how Futurist painters, like Giacomo Balla, represented a movement in paintings like Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (1912). The four horses possibly signify the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which relate to the atmosphere and tension before World War I. ![]() Like the title suggests, the composition can be interpreted as a cluster of horses. Besides, orange and blue are complementary colors, and in Marc’s color theory, this combination was harmonious and celebratory. The blue and red in the bottom created a high intensity, which needed to be broken up with the softness of the yellow. The blue symbolized the male principle, severe and spiritual, and the yellow marked the female principle, gentle, cheerful, and sensual. Like in other artworks, Marc applied his theory of color symbolism to the painting. In essence, the bottom of the painting is a deeply saturated blue that gradually transitions to light yellow and orange tones in the rainbow on the top. This vertical motion is mainly established through color. The artist created a tight composition, in which all of the elements move upward. The artist sent this ink and gouache sketch on a postcard to the German Jewish poet Else Lasker-Schüler, who was one of the few women affiliated with the Expressionist movement. Marc’s preparatory work is visible in The Tower of Blue Horses (1912). The large canvas (200x130cm) is representative of the height of Marc’s artistic achievement. The Tower of Blue Horses is a fine example of the bridging point between his focus on the natural world as evidenced in his earlier works and the more abstract focus found in later works such as Broken Forms.The Tower of Blue Horses is equally known for its aesthetic and artistic significance, and for its fascinating history. ![]() The carnage of World War 1 could not have been foreseen but the opportunity for cleansing and a fresh start for Europe are hinted at in this painting, reinforced by the use of the strong blue colour, which often symbolises hope in Marc's work. Painted in 1913, The Tower of Blue Horses can be seen as a work which is looking towards the coming war with a mixture of foreboding and hope. The crescent moon was commonly used by German impressionists to symbolize the apocalypse and with it all the connotations of rebirth and renewal. The reading of the painting as containing an apocalyptic yearning is reinforced by Marc's use of the crescent moon which is prominently displayed on the chest of the first horse. This gives the painting a feeling of tension and almost anxiety as these huge, cold horses tower above us without any respite or depth in the painting. There is a distinct lack of depth in the painting and the horses tower over us as does the landscape in the background of the painting. Repeating lines, a hallmark of Marc's work, are seen throughout The Tower of Blue Horses and provide the work with a rigid structure that reinforces the strength of the composition and the power of the four horses. Looming above the viewer, the four blue horses can be taken to represent the four horsemen of the apocalypse and the bold blue colours impart a cold and foreboding feeling to this work.

Turn the Start screen into an app launcher So now what's going to be in Windows 8.1 Update 2? Will there be any user-interface changes or will it be more a vehicle for under-the-covers programming interface and reliability improvements? I don't know at this point.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. ![]() I'm still hearing that windowed Metro-Style apps functionality remains a Threshold deliverable, not a Windows 8.1 Update 2 deliverable. Myerson also showed off in early April a new option to run Metro-Style/Windows Store apps to run in windows on the Desktop. He didn't specify whether that meant Windows 8.1 Update 2 or Threshold, but based on leaks later in April, the internal plan was to make the Start Menu part of Update 2. Terry Myerson, the Microsoft Executive Vice President who runs the unified operating system group, showed off a Start Menu mock-up during Microsoft's Build conference in early April, noting that Microsoft was going to bring a Start Menu back to Windows as part of the "next iteration" of the operating system. (For those who prefer the more traditional Windows Start Menu experience, there are a few third-party-developed Start Menus for Windows 8 on the market including Start8 from Stardock and the Pokki Windows 8 Start Menu.) The new Microsoft-developed Start Menu isn't going to be the same as the Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7 Start Menus it's expected to offer some familiarity, but also integrate Windows 8's Metro-Style Start screen concept. Microsoft still is moving full steam ahead with plans to try to make Windows 8.x more palatable and usable by those using mice and keyboards, as well as those used to previous Windows iterations. I'm not clear whether the postponement is because the feature won't be fully baked in time, or if there's another reason for the change in plans. Microsoft's operating systems group has decided to hold off on delivering a Microsoft-developed Start Menu until Threshold, the next "major" release of Windows. Threshold, which may or may not ultimately be called Windows 9, is expected to be released in April 2015. Windows 8.1 Update 2 was - and still is, last I heard - slated to arrive in August of this year. Up until recently, Microsoft was hoping to make a new "Mini" Start Menu part of a second update to Windows 8.1. That recent change in plans comes courtesy of a couple of my sources who've had good track records on Windows information, here's the skinny directly from ZDNet, Mary Jo Foley (see source link): This means Microsoft won't be delivering a new Start Menu for Windows 8 with its coming Windows 8.1 Update 2. In a report from it is mentioned that i t's looking like Microsoft's new 'mini' Start Menu for Windows 8.x won't be part of Windows 8.1 Update 2 as originally planned. ![]() The problem has persisted between various reboots (and a major system upgrade).Īs for the language configuration, I have this curious output to offer: “xlogo” logo launches said XQuarz installation, so it seems to be configured correctly.īefore writing earlier today, I completely reinstalled MacPorts and also substituted the XQuarz installation from a fresh download. (“port install pspp-devel” installed a whole bunch of xorg executables, but xorg-server is not among them.) My setup uses the stand-alone XQuarz application. ![]() Regarding the macports installation, could you maybe tryĬould you uninstall pspp-devel and try the pspp package? You run? I only tried this on ElCapitan and it would be interesting to see how it works Thanks for trying the pspp stand-alone bundle. This finding also corroborates with the error messages I included in my first mail. And they continue to work after changing the resolution back, until quitting XQuartz. Anyway, I changed the screen resolution (to the next lower option) and that made the menus work correctly. (After the first attempt, the flickering is reduced to the single uppermost left pixel of the screen.) So I thought that screen layout - I only use one screen - and size may be an issue and that PSPP was trying to draw the menus somewhere where they don’t belong. Also, there is a white, rectangular flickering, possibly the size of the menu, visible in the upper left corner of the screen, the first time I try to activate it. I deactivated pspp-devel and installed pspp, but the problem remains.īut I found another interesting workaround (apart from installing a more recent version of Inkscape which may not at all times be so readily available): I noticed that PSPP’s main window would always be drawn partially off-screen. I am now running Sierra, but the problem first surfaced under El Capitan (with both: 0.10.2 and 0.10.4).Įcho $LANG in Terminal yields an empty line. Could you tell me which screen resolution you useĪ) The resolution which shows the problemī) The resolution that you used to remove the problem In screen resolution seems to be important. On my macbook this is also only a short white rectangle. I think the flickering rectangle during startup is the „startup screen“ which is supposed (Regarding their height, I have the impression that they are cropped by the top boundary of the main window.) I am quite positive that the flickering rectangles are misplaced vestiges of the not-appearing menus, as they show the very instance a menu title is triggered and have different widths analogous to the respective menus. After switching back to the superior resolution the correct behavior was maintained until quitting XQuartz. In that lower resolution the menus displayed normally. ![]() Subject: Re: GUI window menus don't "open" (macOS) Just a quick heads up: today I updated to XQuartz 2.7.11 and the issue seems to be resolved.

The touchpad is normally blank, but lights up when you tap the ‘Yale’ logo It’s simple enough for anyone to understand, and the touchpad is big enough to make it easy to tap each button. Tapping the Yale logo lights up the keypad, which is otherwise blank, and you simply type in your code and unlock. ![]() It also works super well, and is pretty intuitive. Just like the Nest x Yale, this lock fulfills that key-less life dream, and I love it for that. There’s a keypad on the outside of your home that can lock and unlock the dead bolt with a code, with all of its hardware housed on the inside of the door. The Yale Assure Lock SL is a lot like any other smart lock you’ve seen from Yale, including the aforementioned collaboration with Nest. It’s a good pitch, and a world I certainly want to live in, but the idealized pitch of Matter holds it back.īut, before we get into all of that, let’s just start by talking about the hardware and setup. Instead of installing a lock on your door and needing a specific app to control it, why not just have one that pairs directly to your smart home app of choice? Yale Assure Lock SL is one of the first Matter-enabled smart locks for a door, and it rests on a pretty simple pitch. Without a proper sequel on the horizon, we’ve been looking at Yale’s new Matter-enabled smart lock which should be a good stand-in for Google’s overdue sequel, but instead, shows Matter’s limits yet again. Sometime later this year, there will also be a version that supports Z-Wave out of the box starting at $190, with additional modules (including the upcoming Matter add-on) slated to cost $80 each.The Nest x Yale lock first made its debut in 2018 and, five years later, it’s effectively been ignored for a while in Google’s updated smart home ecosystem. The Assure Lock 2 is available today starting at $160 for the key-free Bluetooth/Apple HomeKit model, with WiFi models starting a bit higher at $240. So while we haven't had the chance to test out Assure Lock 2 just yet, it really seems like Yale has covered all the bases with its new flagship smart lock. Other standard features include auto lock and unlocking, virtual keys/entry codes for shared access and more. ![]() Once installed (which Yale says can be done using only a standard screwdriver), users can enable a number of security functions ranging from voice controls (via Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri), two-factor authentication and even the ability to unlock your door by using biometric verification on your phone. And as before, on models without a physical key cylinder, if your lock runs out of juice, you can still unlock the door by tapping a 9-volt battery to the contacts on the bottom of the device's housing. Meanwhile, to ensure the lock blends in better with your door, customers will be able to choose from three different finishes including black suede, oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel. And as for the lock itself, the company claims that the Assure Lock 2 is 30 percent smaller than its predecessor while still being compatible with most standard door sizes used in the US and Canada. Alongside a wide range of connectivity options, Yale also says WiFi models will no longer require the use of a dedicated Connect Bridge, which should help streamline installation. ![]() workers’ compensation claims from workers injured by falls or falling objects.The fine for a willful or repeated violation can be 10 times as much.

The majority (65%) of construction projects involve scaffolds, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Scaffolding violations are common because scaffolds are standard construction equipment. The standard is extensive and detailed, specifying everything from fall protection measures to guardrail height to inspections and training. OSHA’s scaffolding standard covers each of these kinds of scaffolds, as well as ladders, stilts, protection from falling objects, weather conditions, and other related hazards. Examples include extendable boom platforms, aerial ladders, and vertical towers. Aerial lifts are elevating devices mounted to vehicles.Suspended scaffolds are platforms raised by non-rigid means, such as ropes or cables.Supported scaffolds consist of one or more platforms held up by rigid structural elements such as beams, brackets, poles, legs, or frames.There are three types of scaffolds commonly used: OSHA’s scaffolding standards lay out safe and proper methods for scaffolding used in construction jobs.
