![]() The past tense of lie is lay (Intransitive verb – it does not have an object) “I lay the book on the table.” (the book is the object).It can be helpful to remember that “lie” is an intransitive verb. “ Lie” means “ to recline” or “ to be in a horizontal position,” while “ lay” means “ to put or place something down.“ The verbs “ lie” and “ lay” are often confused because they are related in meaning and form. Lie Vs Lay – Verb Conjugation (with examples).We hope this post helps you learn the difference between this combo of three confusing words. You can note LA to lay “in place” and LI to lie “in recline.” You can bear in mind that you need to use lay when you need to pLAce something and lie when you mean recLIne. There is a trick that can help you remember the difference between both words and how to use them correctly. Since both actions are quite similar people often get confused when to use which. The most common misunderstanding is between lay, which means to place and lie that indicates to recline. ![]() How to Remember the Difference Between Lay and Lie

![]() But once the book changes hands to some white kid in Seattle, and that kid is using "Kira" just to throw the feds off his scent, that's little more than an "intentional misdirection" aimed at fans of the original Death Note. In those earlier incarnations it made sense that a teen with supernatural murder-ability would want to style himself with the name "Kira," which is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the English killer. "He wants us to believe he's Japanese."įriends, such a sentiment was not a studio note for this spring's Ghost in the Shell remake, but rather a line of dialogue in the new Netflix offering Death Note - as self-incriminating a thing for an investigator character to say as ever there was.ĭeath Note was first a manga created by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata, then an anime series (currently available on Netflix as well), and then a live-action film series in Japan. ![]() "The name is an intentional misdirection," some astute viewer might observe. The American studio then opts to Anglicize the property, casting largely white actors and leaving intact only the exotic qualities of a vaguely Asian aesthetic. Scrawl this one in your magic killer notebook if you've heard it before: A popular, beloved Japanese manga and anime catches the attention of an American studio desperate for that sweet trans-global box office. ![]() Crouch, Potato: Detective "L" (Lakeith Stanfield) pursues student-turned-vigilante Light Turner (Nat Wolff) in Death Note. ![]() The track is not only used for reviews, but also for conducting timed laps of vehicles that are reviewed, except for ten cars which were timed outside of filming before the launch of the first series. Reviews are conducted in varying locales abroad, or within the United Kingdom, including a specially designed racetrack, parallel to the Top Gear Test Track, called the "Eboladrome". Like Top Gear, car reviews on The Grand Tour functioned in a similar manner in which the presenters, either on their own or with their colleagues, take a look at various cars and test them out on various aspects such as performance, handling, and quality. Alongside these episodes, the programme's format between 20 also included special episodes in similar format to Top Gear specials, focused on the presenters travelling on journeys in a specific type of vehicle or class within a foreign locale. Films focused primarily on car review, motoring challenges, and road trip journeys, often based around those of Top Gear, such as a challenge in which the presenters have to purchase a class of a vehicle and see which is the best through a series of tests given through text messages from the show's producer. Throughout the first three series of the programme, the format was focused on a similar arrangement to that of Top Gear, involving a mixture of pre-recording television films - a mixture of single or multi-part films - and live-audience studio segments, though for legal reasons it was designed with significant differences to avoid clashing with the BBC's motoring series. A video game based on the programme, entitled The Grand Tour Game, was released 15 January 2019. The Grand Tour is released to viewers across more than 195 countries and territories, attracting favourable viewing figures since its premiere episode, and receiving positive reviews from critics. At the conclusion of the third series, the production team switched out of this format, and towards a focus on producing special motoring films for future series, with episodes released at select intervals. Episodes were released weekly to Amazon Prime Video accounts, and repeats of the first series were made available on traditional broadcasters in late 2017. When the programme was launched, it followed a similar format to that of Top Gear between 20, including car reviews and timed laps, motoring challenges and races, studio segments, and celebrity guests, with the team using a studio within a large tent during this time in its first series, the tent was located at different locations across the globe, before taking a fixed site within the Cotswolds. The programme was conceived in the wake of the departure of Clarkson, Hammond, May and Wilman from the BBC series Top Gear and was originally contracted with 36 episodes over three years. The Grand Tour is a British motoring television series, created by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and Andy Wilman, made for Amazon exclusively for its online streaming service Amazon Prime Video, and premiered on 18 November 2016. ![]() On my machine the 4TB WD Elements was /dev/disk1. Next step then was to force it to unmount from the command line. Unfortunately – Erase complained as it couldn’t unmount the disk in the first instance – just giving a ‘Couldn’t unmount disk’ message. I don’t mind losing the data – I just want a working drive back… Couldn’t Unmount Disk I tried a Verify, and then a Repair – which initially looked promising as it found a problem… but then it said it couldn’t repair and I should consider reformatting. Success! I could at least see the drive in Disk Utility now. The next thing I tried was plugging the drive into an older Mac Book Air I have (which was running an older version of macOS). A bit more digging revealed the drive could be seen in System Report (via Apple logo on menu. The drive was still invisible to Finder and Disk Utilities. So the first thing I did was update the OS (to High Sierra – as it turns out – a pretty substantial upgrade). ![]() A quick google revealed this wasn’t uncommon, and a couple of posts mentioned issues with Sierra. ![]() Whatever I did – I couldn’t get the new 4TB drive to show. Lights were on and flashing, but now they were not visible in Finder.Ĭue several attempts and unplugging, replugging, restarting the computer. The connection was flimsy – so I figured they both just lost power and reset. I then plugged another WD Elements (an older 500GB one) into one of the other USB hub ports – and both drives disappeared from Finder. I could see the files on the drive – I even moved a couple of folders successfully on the new drive. When I got back from work it looked like it had finished ok. The 2TB transfer was left overnight and during the day. The MyBook Duo used the official Apple Thunderbolt adapter – which is pretty solid, and the WD Elements was plugged into a 3 port USB hub – which is a bit flimsy. Its a 2017 model so has no native USB or Thunderbolt 2 ports – just USB-C, so I had to use adapters to plug in my drives. I formatted it and started with a 2TB backup of my 4TB (2x2TB RAID1 WD MyBook Duo). I recently bought a 4TB Western Digital Elements external drive in the Black Friday sales to add to add to my backup family.

Bonus step: Advanced overlays with blend modes In our case, this will just be a blank string.banner::after And with that we have a finished overlay. One important note, all pseudo-elements require a content CSS property to display. Natively, CSS gives us the powerful ::before and ::after elements for adding stylistic content to the page that shouldn't affect markup.īy apply ::before or ::after to an element, you can insert a dynamic element into the DOM before or after the selected elements children. Step 2: Add the overlay element dynamically with ::after That's not important for this demo, but if you're curious, it exists in the CodePen. If you added more content, it could be siblings to the or you could place all of your content in a content container of some sort to do any positioning.Ī little CSS magic is happening here for the added height of the banner as well as the centering of the text. In this example, we'll just utilize a section container and an. ![]() In a banner, all we really want is the banner's container and any content that banner needs to contain.

![]() Evidence suggests these pupillomotor ganglion cells are melanopsin-containing, and have some intrinsic ability to respond to light on their own, in addition to input from the photoreceptors. There is a specialized subset of retinal ganglion cells that send their output directly to the pupillary centers in the midbrain. The response of the photoreceptors to a light stimulus is processed in the retina and conveyed to the brain by the retinal ganglion cell axons. Many more postganglionic axons innervate the ciliary muscle than the pupillary sphincter (ratio of 30:1) this fact is important in the discussion of Adie tonic pupil later in this chapter. ![]() The ciliary ganglion is the origin of axons that enter the posterior aspect of the globe as the short posterior ciliary nerves, traveling in the suprachoroidal space to innervate both the pupillary sphincter (for pupillary constriction) and the ciliary muscle within the ciliary body (for accommodation). The motor root is short because the ciliary ganglion lies close to the inferior division of CN III and adjacent to the inferior rectus muscle. As the inferior division courses along the lateral border of the inferior rectus, the parasympathetic fibers exit midway as the motor root of the ciliary ganglion, to synapse in the ciliary ganglion ( Figure 11–3). The parasympathetic pupillary axons travel in the inferior division of the oculomotor nerve, along with fibers innervating the inferior oblique muscle. CN III traverses the cavernous sinus, entering the orbit through the superior orbital fissure where the nerve bifurcates. The pupillary fibers occupy a superficial position in the nerve and are more vulnerable to external compression of CN III (eg, aneurysm or uncal herniation). As described in Chapter 9, this nerve has a short but eventful course in the subarachnoid space, passing between the superior cerebellar and posterior cerebral arteries to travel both adjacent and parallel to the posterior communicating artery (see Figure 9–11B). Fascicles from this parasympathetic motor nucleus join other fascicles from the CN III nuclear complex and traverse the midbrain tegmentum, exiting the brainstem at the interpeduncular cistern to form CN III. Parasympathetic pupillomotor fibers originate from the midline but paired Edinger-Westphal nuclei, which occupy the most dorsal position in the CN III nuclear complex. The pupillary constrictor muscle is innervated by the parasympathetic component of CN III. Therefore, asymmetric facial flushing and sweating are important accompanying clinical signs with localizing value. ![]() From the superior cervical ganglion, most third-order (post-ganglionic) axons travel with the internal carotid artery through the cavernous sinus and eventually to the eye, with the remainder following the external carotid to supply vasomotor and sudomotor (sweat gland) innervation to the face. These second-order axons pass through the stellate ganglion and ascend to synapse in the superior cervical ganglion located at the carotid bifurcation, at the level of C3/C4 and the angle of the jaw. Axons from these second-order (preganglionic) neurons then exit the spinal column primarily at the Tl level in the chest cavity, arch over the apex of the lung, and travel under the subclavian artery (ansa subclavia) to ascend with the cervical sympathetic plexus associated with the carotid arteries. These axons synapse at the ciliospinal center (of Budge) located at the C8 to T2 level in the spinal cord ( Figure 11–2). The oculosympathetic chain begins with first-order neurons located in the posterolateral hypothalamus, with axons that descend through the brainstem and into the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord. ![]() The results can tell you how your body's functioning and the overall state of your health.

You will not develop type 2 diabetes automatically if you have prediabetes. An OGTT two-hour blood glucose of 140–199 mg/dl.If you have prediabetes, you should be checked for type 2 diabetes every one to two years. You usually find out that you have prediabetes when being tested for diabetes. Some people with prediabetes may have some of the symptoms of diabetes or even problems from diabetes already. There are no clear symptoms of prediabetes, so you may have it and not know it. This condition puts you at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is diagnosed at blood glucose of greater than or equal to 200 mg/dlīefore people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have prediabetes-blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.ĭoctors sometimes refer to prediabetes as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG), depending on what test was used when it was detected. ![]() ![]() This test is a blood check at any time of the day when you have severe diabetes symptoms.

![]() “It’s a kind of captive workforce,” Saldaña said, “It makes it hard then for them to be independent." That’s a problem because if you get fired from one you can’t work anywhere in the state basically. They’re not really competitors, all the main best clubs are Deja Vu. “There are a couple of other clubs in Seattle,” Amber said, “but they’re in the less desirable parts of town, less business. That makes it so dancers have to accept the conditions in the workplace or face not being able to work. ![]() When women have asked for more security, asked for clean bathrooms, it feels like it’s take it or leave it."ĭeja Vu has very little competition in the city and it’s been the dominant player since that morality crackdown in the '80s. "As an independent contractor, you can set up your conditions for employment. "It doesn’t seem like there’s much negotiation going on," Saldaña said. She says there is some scheduling but dancers can negotiate their schedules themselves. It seems like the company takes it pretty close to infringing on workers' rights as independent contractors and business owners."Īccording to Amber, Deja Vu sets schedules for a lot of dancers and tells them when they can take breaks, suggesting the company treats dancers as employees and not independent contractors.įinck says this isn't the case, and that Deja Vu only asks that dancers inform them when they're going on break, for safety reasons. "That workforce has always been independent contractors," Senator Rebecca Saldaña told The Stranger, "and they want to remain that way. His co-founder was Roger Forbes, the Showbox guy. The majority of the clubs operating at that time were subsidiaries of Deja Vu, the club founded and run on Lake City Boulevard in 1985 by a man named Harry Mohney (for comedy's sake, let's all assume his last name is pronounced the way I hope it's pronounced). In 2003, Seattle-a city of 550,000 people-has just three strip clubs where women perform. The result of the sustained moratorium has been a gradual stifling of the adult-entertainment industry as clubs across the city have shut their doors. That created a virtual monopoly in the strip club business, something that's shaped how the industry operates in Seattle to this day.įrom an old Stranger report (we are the place for strip club news): Back in the day, there was a 15-year ban on creating new strip clubs that started in 1988. In case you're unfamiliar, our liberal bastion of a city is highly puritanical about sex and nudity. Seattle has a, uh, complicated past when it comes to strip clubs. These safety problems are indicative of a strained and restricted industry in Washington state. The bill will also require panic buttons in various club rooms such as the private VIP rooms. Half of that committee will be made up of dancers, with the intention that all the rules made going forward will be made in the best interest of dancers. The bill will establish an adult entertainer advisory committee with the Department of Labor and Standards. Mandatory trainings, like what food service workers go through to get food worker cards, will equip them with knowledge. What Amber and other dancers are trying to create with this bill are resources for dancers. Nobody tells you 'management can’t do that.'" Well, there’s more now because of the internet." But, that's information dancers have to seek out on their own. “When you start dancing, nobody trains you,” Amber said, “there’s no information. House Bill 1756 and Senate Bill 5724 will implement mandatory trainings for dancers meant to educate them about their rights as workers and how they should be treated. Together, with the help of Working Washington, a grassroots bill they created to improve the working conditions of dancers has made its way successfully through the House and, as of last week, is on its way to the Senate. This year, she and a group of other dancers took their complaints to Olympia. “So, that kind of flipped something in my head.”Īmber has been a stripper for 13 years. “I thought ‘Wow you’re lying to my face, you think I’m stupid, and you don’t really care about us at all,’” Amber told The Stranger. When she brought it up to club management, they assured her there were cameras back there, that she was safe. If he had his hands around her neck, strangling her, no one would know. If something were to happen-she shuddered to think about a man sexually assaulting her or trying to kill her. ![]() They’re dark, there’s loud music playing, and they’re walled off for privacy.
