Nicki minaj twitter about vaccine11/10/2023 ![]() Now the very same right-wingers who would have looked down on a Black women in hip hop are dishonestly upholding Minaj as one of their fold.Īnd as Minaj is aligning herself with people like Carlson, who has demonstrated disrespect for Black women’s lives, she has also degraded Joy Reid when suggesting Reid is an Uncle Tom and using other racialized slurs - all because in a world where you must be either for or against, Reid stood against. Disrespect for Black women, self-policing Just as Minaj fans can terrorize Toronto journalist Wanna Thompson for critiquing the singer’s music, many stand with her against those criticizing her anti-vaccination tweets regardless of the danger they pose. This means no form of criticism against “the fave” is permitted regardless of how logical that criticism may be. In today’s era where disinformation campaigns and socio-political polarization have normalized an attack on truth and facts, what seems like “regular competition” between fandoms leads us into anti-democratic territory.Īs cultural studies researcher Sascha Buchanan writes: “ Fans will defend their favourite entertainers adamantly, as well as against other readings, as a way to authenticate their status within the fan base and to mutually recognize each other’s shared passion.” And the competitive neoliberal culture that has divided humans into winners and losers, outsiders and insiders underlies entertainment “fandoms” also.Īt the 1:40 mark, Jimmy Kimmel pokes fun at the ‘mystery of Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s balls.’ Anti-democratic territory To belong to the fold means to align with the fold. Ron DeSantis, many who empathize with Trumpian politics have added to the anti-vaccination echo chamber. Echo chamberįrom Fox News anchors like Tucker Carlson to Republican politicians like Florida Gov. What author Stephen Hassan called the cult of Trump has taken on such a life of its own that the man himself may be disposable should he shy away from the policies and ideas that solidified his community. When Trump himself sheepishly suggested at a recent Alabama rally that taking the vaccine wasn’t so bad, he was booed. What we’ve seen until recently among Trump followers is people who almost unquestioningly worship their leader, believe his words no matter how untrue and view those who question him as the enemy. Trumpism has led to the consolidation of a tribe of politically and culturally affiliated people. ![]() An anti-vaccination stance has become characteristic of the alt-right, even at the cost of lives. People have become bound together and aligned through bitter, negative emotions and anti-democratic desires. Today, growing economic anxiety, inequality and bigotry has led to a right-wing populist movement. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens) Economic anxiety, inequality, bigotry Nicki Minaj poses for a photograph at the Oscar de la Renta Spring/Summer 2018 fashion show during Fashion Week in 2017 in New York. Those who can’t or won’t follow the script can be seen as strangers or even as threats to the community. As such, “happiness” and “belonging” act as forms of emotional coercion. Ahmed asks: What happens when one doesn’t believe in the same set of emotional and cultural ideas that would make one a “legitimate citizen” of a given community?įor example, marginalized individuals are expected to carry the same beliefs and feelings as dominant society. ![]() British environmentalist and activist George Monbiot highlights how neoliberalism has contributed to a culture of competition by redefining “citizens as consumers whose democratic choices are best exercised by buying and selling.”Īs argued by feminist author and scholar Sara Ahmed, emotions play a part in building community spaces and their boundaries. Unpacking political tribalism and its spillover into entertainment means understanding how communities have come to be shaped under pressures of uncertainty in a neoliberal era of globalization. What the fiasco has made clear is the troubling intersection of entertainment and political tribalism, highlighting a culture where cults of personality reign and critical thinking is discouraged. While Minaj did tweet that she would eventually get the vaccine to go on tour, her recommendation that others get the vaccine in order to work because a “lot of countries won’t let work w/o the vaccine” reflects the anti-vaxx criticisms against vaccine mandates created to save lives. Minaj, (with her fans, “The Barbz”), pushed back.

The engine compression ratio was raised from 9.0:1 to 9.5:1 by adding. com Superheat and Subcooling Calculator Quickly calculate. 524 PSI) Sachs A engine compression ratio is 8:1 (814. P is the volume of the piston dome or dish. This Calculator is designed to tell you how much you need to mill your heads. The clearance can be found using the formula: clearance = c + p + d + g Try out engine displacement calculator to find this. This will yield the displacement of a cylinder, so to find the total displacement you’ll need to multiply this by the number of cylinders. Engine Compression Calculator Calculating compression ratio is EZ Use our compression ratio calculator to try piston specs and calculate compression ratio. V c is the clearance volume of the motor, or the remaining space left when the piston is at the end of the stroke.ĭisplacement can be found using this simple formula: displacement = π / 4 × b 2 × s The compression ratio is a fixed ratio between the volume above the piston in ODP and the volume above the piston in TDC. V d is the displacement volume of the motor, or the volume displaced by the piston from the start to the end of the stroke. To calculate the compression ratio of an engine, use the following formula: compression ratio = V d + V c / V c Thus, higher compression ratios also allow engines to be more fuel efficient. The stuffing effect increases the compression when the expansion pipe comes on song, in simple terms, this is what gives the engine a powerband. ![]() In other words, it is the ratio between the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at its lowest point when gasses are uncompressed and the volume when it’s at the highest point and the gases are compressed.Ī higher compression ratio allows the engine to output more power using the same amount of fuel, making it an important performance metric. The compression ratio of an engine is the ratio between the swept volume and the compressed volume. This static compression ratio calculator is an accurate tool and can assist you with selecting the best combination of parts for your engine. How to Calculate Engine Compression Ratio Deep axillary sentinel node11/10/2023 Greater nodal involvement is associated with a worse prognosis, suggesting that more extensive surgery, radiation, and systemic therapy may be beneficial. In the AJCC TNM staging schema, metastatic disease in 1–3, 4–9, and ≥10 axillary lymph nodes constitutes N1, N2, and N3 diseases, respectively. 7 Clinical staging integrates physical examination and imaging findings, while pathological staging incorporates the results of surgical pathology. Anatomic staging of breast cancer includes both clinical and pathological staging. The presence of axillary lymph node metastases has historically been considered an important prognostic factor in breast cancer, and impacted many aspects of medical decision making. Both of these roles have been called into question, leading to an ongoing reevaluation of the necessity of axillary surgery. Second, it is a potential therapy for management of disease in the axilla. First, it provides anatomic staging information which is used to predict prognosis and inform medical decision making related to adjuvant therapy. Here, we review evolving paradigms for staging of the axilla in breast cancer, with a particular emphasis on the current and future role of axillary ultrasound.Īxillary surgery has two potential roles in breast cancer management. Axillary ultrasound (AUS) has been proposed as a non-invasive and cost-effective alternative to SLNB for staging the axilla in breast cancer. 5, 6 Recent advances in axillary imaging and molecular profiling of primary breast cancers have called into question the necessity of SLNB/axillary surgery. Sentinel lymph node mapping made possible sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for early-stage breast cancers, sparing patients the morbidity of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Breast conserving surgery further decreased the invasiveness of breast cancer surgery. 4 The modified radical mastectomy replaced the radical mastectomy. 3 In the century since Halsted pioneered the radical mastectomy, advances in diagnostic imaging, systemic therapy, radiation therapy and an improved understanding of breast cancer biology have led to a dramatic de-escalation of breast cancer surgery. 2 This led William Halsted to propose radical mastectomy (excision of the breast tissue, pectoralis muscle, and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes) for the treatment of breast cancer. In the 19th century, Rudolph Virchow postulated that axillary lymph node metastases facilitated the distant metastatic spread of breast cancer. 1 Axillary surgery has long been central to the staging and treatment of breast cancer. In 2021, it is estimated that 280,000 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in the US, resulting in over 43,000 deaths. ![]() Introduction to Staging of the Axilla in Breast Cancerīreast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women, and the second-leading cause of cancer death. In this review, we outline the changing paradigms of axillary staging in breast cancer from emphasis on anatomic staging to tumor biology, and the evolving role of axillary ultrasound, bringing patients less invasive and more personalized therapy. Staging of the axilla has undergone a dramatic de-escalation however, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is still an invasive surgery and represents a large economic burden on the healthcare system. Prognostic information is driven increasingly by tumor biology, and trials such as the ACOSOG Z0011 demonstrates removal of axillary disease is not therapeutic. ![]() This paradigm has now been called into question. Anatomic staging was believed to be important for two reasons: 1) it predicts prognosis and guides medical therapy, and 2) it is a potential therapy for removal of disease in the axilla. As a result, staging of the axilla has always played a central role in the treatment of breast cancer. Axillary lymph nodes have long been recognized as a route for breast cancer to spread systemically. Egyptian scribe clothing diy11/10/2023 ![]() The scribe has a soft and slightly overweight body, suggesting he is well off and does not need to do any sort of physical labor. The eyebrows are marked with fine lines of dark organic paint. The back side of the crystal was covered with a layer of organic material which at the same time gives the blue colour to the iris and serves as an adhesive. They are modeled in rich detail out of pieces of red-veined white magnesite which were elaborately inlaid with pieces of polished truncated rock crystal. ![]() Special attention was devoted to the eyes of the sculpture. Hands, fingers, and fingernails of the sculpture are delicately modeled. Its realistic features stand in contrast to perhaps more rigid and somewhat less detailed body. Perhaps the most striking part aspect of the figure is its face. The figure is dressed in a white kilt stretched to its knees. This painted limestone sculpture represents a man in a seated position, presumably a scribe. It is a painted limestone statue, the eyes inlaid with rock crystal, magnesite ( magnesium carbonate), copper- arsenic alloy, and nipples made of wood. The sculpture was discovered at Saqqara, north of the alley of sphinxes leading to the Serapeum of Saqqara, in 1850, and dated to the period of the Old Kingdom, from either the 5th Dynasty, c. 2450–2325 BCE or the 4th Dynasty, 2620–2500 BCE. It represents a figure of a seated scribe at work. The sculpture of the Seated Scribe or Squatting Scribe is a famous work of ancient Egyptian art. Richard flood feet11/10/2023 ![]() The remnants from Hurricane Agnes brought torrential rainfall and major flooding to the Pennsylvania. This flood led the way for a series of flood control projects to be approved for future construction. By the end of the event, the death toll stood at 107. ![]() In central Pennsylvania, major flooding occurred along the Juniata River, where bridges and homes were swept away near Huntingdon. This flooding pushed downstream, affecting Bloomsburg and Harrisburg, where 4-15 feet of water flooded Harrisburg. The Wilkes-Barre area also reported major flooding along the Susquehanna River. Flooding was not confined to just the southwest portion of the state. In all, 67 deaths were reported in Pittsburgh and 22 in Johnstown. Fortunately those rumors were false, but nonetheless, damage was extensive. During the middle of the flood, rumors circulated that a dam upstream of the city was going to fail, and this sent citizens in a rush to get to higher ground, fearing a repeat of 1889. Major flooding was also reported in Johnstown, where damages exceeded the great flood of 1889. Flooding in downtown Pittsburgh reached record levels, 15 feet deep in spots, with fires and gas explosions reported. Pittsburgh reported major flooding on the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers and associated tributaries.Īn amazing total of close to 100,000 buildings were flooded with damages estimated at $250 million. This set the stage for major river and ice jam flooding, with the entire state affected. A warmer and wetter weather pattern brought several strong rain storms systems to the area beginning the week before the floods. By the middle of March, a deep snow pack remained over parts of the state, along with frozen ground. The winter of 1935-36 was cold and snowy across Pennsylvania. This flood event led the way for a series of river gages to be installed across the region in order to improve upon flood warnings. Major flooding was also reported in Tyrone, Lewistown and Huntingdon, with a significant loss of life and property damage reported in the region. The prosperous lumber town of Williamsport reported that 75 percent of the town was under water during the peak of the flooding. Major flooding was reported along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. The flood and subsequent fires killed 2,209 people, destroyed 1,600 homes and produced $17 million in damages (1989 dollars).įlooding was also widespread across the state from this weather event. It was reported that the flood wave produced a wall of water 35 feet high and a half mile wide, moving rapidly down the narrow valley at 40 miles an hour! Historical reports indicate that there were a couple hours of warning given but few people heeded the calls to move to higher ground. This sudden failure sent a torrent of water down a steep canyon, into the heart of Johnstown. Intense heavy rains fell across the area in the day preceding the failure, and the poorly maintained earthen dam rapidly weakened and subsequently failed during the afternoon hours. They got married in 2016.On May 31, 1889, a catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam on the Little Conemaugh River, approximately 14 miles upstream of Johnstown, PA, resulted in one of the worst natural catastrophes in the history of the United States, creating the largest loss of life from a natural disaster not caused by a hurricane or earthquake.

We were seated at our table and became excited to try this popular spot on our first trip to Atlanta. The wait time that the hostess quoted was spot on, as they called our name at 12 noon. The indoor waiting area was filled to capacity, so we waited outside with several other parties in 40 degree weather. Gladys opens at 11AM on Saturday's and there was already a 35-40 minute wait when we arrived. And Gladys thought the Pips-with whom she parted ways in the late 1980s-were trouble!

I started with a gray primer, then a silver base. Helmet Painting: So we have a nice cast out of the mold, now it's time to trim the helmet's rough edges off and throw some paint on it. The good news is you can always try again if you mess up. Take special care to coat everything evenly, and not to let any sections get overly thick. Then, pour in a bit more, and do it again. It's a good idea to keep the master, just in case you need to mold it again.Ĭasting is as easy as pouring liquid resin into the hollow mold, and rotating it slowly until it starts to harden. Which was completely unharmed by the way. Enjoy: My Warlock Helmet VideoĬasting: Once the mold was completed, and had time to cure, I popped out the master. This is a long process, So I made a time-lapse video of the molding process. I am using rebound 40 silicone rubber for the jacket mold, and plasti-paste 2 for the mother mold. To do this, we need silicone for the jacket mold, and a materials for the rigid mother mold. This will allow us to create a lightweight, wearable plastic copy of the helmet we made. Molding: With the master finalized, its it time for molding and casting. If any blemishes or low spots remain, this should make them more obvious. Primer- With everything as it should be, I like to paint the helmet in a uniform color.Things like seam lines, bolt.rivet holes, etc can be dremeled or files into the surface of the filler. Now comes the time to cut in all of the small missing details. Add Details- With your helmet all smooth.So add filler, sand, refine, over and over and over and over. The extra cost was worth it to me, and I planned on molding the helmet ,so weight was of little importance on the master. ![]() The down side is extra weight, and expense. It is less noxious, has a nice long working time, and holds great detail. Most of the time bondo is used, but I chose to use apoxie-sculpt instead. To counteract this, filler is applied to the exterior to better define the shape and detail. Filler- The hardened helmet still has all of the geometry of the pepakura model, which is to say, it needs some help to bring it up to high rez, and eliminate the undesirable polygonal shapes.Once the paper has all been hardened, a layer of fiberglass mat and resin is added to the inside of the helmet to bring it to full strength. This is done in sections to ensure the model does not collapse while wet with resin. Fiberglass- Once the paper model was together, I hardened it with a layer of fiberglass resin painted directly on the paper.Keeping things symmetrical is paramount.Take you time when implementing this building method, and it will make life much easier in the end. However, it takes time, patience and a steady hand to get right. Pepakura is extremely accessible and easy to grasp. Pepakura- The paper templates were printed on cardstock, cut out with an exacto, and painstakingly glued together tab-by-tab.the helmet began life as a pepakura file available here. I already had a lock on her, and once I engaged, there was nowhere she could hide.For the Warlock costume, I took a top down approach, and began with the helmet. Not sure what activated the thing, but sure enough there she was. I don't just go putting things on my head, but I was desperate. Looked like a standard old Outrider kit, but it had this rig, enough small diamond conduits to make me think it was something pulled out of those old Bray labs in the MNP. Held my own for bit, but I could hear the Wizard wasn't alone and she'd be coming for whoever took out her spawn.
