![]() The sleep situation can get even worse if you recently gave birth. You might think, ‘This is my time, this is the 3 hours I have, I have to sleep now.’ That doesn’t work for anybody,” explains Catherine Monk, PhD, professor of medical psychology in the departments of Psychiatry and Obstetrics and Gynecology at Columbia University.Īnd even if your mind isn’t revved up over trying to fall asleep, when you actually have that quiet time when you’re not tending to your tiny human, all the things you didn’t have a chance to think about before suddenly start flooding your brain - from big questions like what life will be like after your parental leave ends, to mundane ones like what’s for dinner tomorrow. ![]() “You may end up ruminating over whether you’re going to be able to fall asleep. Even if you’re exhausted, the intense pressure to sneak in sleep whenever possible can actually make it harder to doze off. They don’t like being put down to sleep alone and would rather be snuggled or bounced or rocked or walked around the block in their stroller a hundred times.īut it’s not just the baby that’s keeping you up.

![]() ![]() This is a great way to create a juxtaposition in your shots. Just cut the edges and tape them to another seamless. You can use more than one seamless at a time. Flowers, vests, dresses…if you can think it, there’s a way to make it out of seamless! All the props in this image were made from seamless paper. ![]() Who said you have to just use seamless paper as backgrounds? You can also cut it up any way you want to make some interesting props. Using the colored seamless paper works well here too. It’s a great tool to create seamless backgrounds that separate your subject and have them pop out. The old faithful – the one you should always have up your sleeve. Sometimes calling attention to something makes for exciting images! Who said you’re not allowed to see the seamless paper in the shot? It can work well with creating a ‘fantasy world’ look. This will create a lot of texture and will look great as an interesting backdrop. Just cut straight through and roll the strips to different lengths. If you put a few rolls of seamless together and roll it out to your desired length, you can make spirals with the different cuts you make. Just keep rolling it till it’s nice and tight so you can fit the paper back in the box. Here’s a tip: when the paper is all rolled up, continue rolling! This will make the seamless paper that’s already rolled tighter. Sometimes when you’re rolling your seamless paper back up, it can get lose and all over the place. This is a great tip for when you want to get the ceiling in your shot as the seamless paper can extend all the way up, creating no spaces between the wall and ceiling. The other way to do it is having the seamless paper fold out the opposite way where the bend is away from the camera. This is good for when you want that ‘infinity’ look (or sweep) where you can’t tell where the floor and wall meet. The first is the more conventional way with the bend coming across the floor. There are two ways you can roll your seamless paper. Don’t forget to put a clamp on the top of your C-stand arm! If you don’t you risk the seamless paper slipping. I like to tape down my seamless using painters tape to secure it. If they aren’t, that means one side is higher than the other and you have to move your C-stand higher or lower accordingly. You can tell that your seamless is straight when the gap between the C-stand and the paper run parallel to each other. The seamless paper is on a cardboard pole so you don’t have to worry about the middle sagging. It’s super easy actually! Just set up two C-stands with the arms out and pull the seamless in between. What is seamless? It’s a roll of paper that’s about ten or twelve feet long that comes in a variety of colors. I’ve been using seamless paper for years now, ever since I started my photography career. Most people use it to create seamless backdrops for portraits – but that’s not creative!! In this lesson, we’ll show you ten different ways you can use seamless paper then just your typical backdrop. Savage makes great seamless paper that you can use in a variety of applications for photography and video. ![]() ![]() The band’s commitment to their creative vision and exacting attention to detail is apparent, with Anxious going so far as to completely re-record the vocals until Little Green House was exactly the statement they wanted to make. ![]() Recorded and produced by Chris Teti at Silver Bullet Studios, the diversity of perspectives on Little Green House is matched by the album’s ability to jump between sounds without ever feeling disjointed. ![]() “I’m sure it’ll be a cliché very soon to say, ‘With all the time spent away, I was able to really think about things,’ but having that time ot sit and be introspective really does give you perspective on yourself, the relationships you have with other people, and that recognition that while you might all be interconnected-whether it’s your parents, your friends from high school, people you know through music-it’s bound to happen that you all have deeply individual and separate paths, and that’s okay.” “I think a lot of the record is a coming-to-terms, interpretive record about relationships with people and thinking introspectively,” says Allen. The pair unpack their struggles, joys, and hard-earned realizations in a way that makes them each feel wise beyond their years. Named after the space in which the material was written, Little Green House sees Allen and Melucci exploring what it feels like to enter adulthood in unflinching detail. Having almost immediately surpassed Allen’s modest ambitions of “playing a couple of shows,” Anxious quickly found a home on Triple B Records, gaining the attention and adulation of both the hardcore and emo scenes on the back of two seven-inch EPs and a pair of demos, getting them coveted spots on tours with genre-bending acts like Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, before landing on Run For Cover. The band’s DIY roots and dedication to craft were equally as essential to their rising profile-early releases were accompanied with band-dubbed cassettes, made-to-order zines, and even self-dyed shirts-each part of Anxious was laid out in meticulous detail from day one. The result is an artistic leap that, had the band’s plans to spend much of 2020 on the road actually been feasible, maybe wouldn’t have happened.įormed in 2016 while members were still in high school, Anxious’ early releases were indebted to the urgent freneticism and heart-on-sleeve lyrics of post-hardcore acts like Texas Is The Reason, Samiam, and Turning Point, allowing Anxious to immediately grab the attention of the hardcore scene. With extensive touring plans halted and regular life on pause, the band-vocalist Grady Allen, guitarists Dante Melucci and Ryan Savitski, bassist Sam Allen, and drummer Jonny Camner-headed into Allen’s mom’s basement and reflected on each part of the material that would turn into their first record over and over again. Anthemic songs like lead single “In April” and guaranteed sing-along “Growing Up Song” thread the often difficult melodic-hardcore needle in a way that feels both nostalgic for the emo renaissance of yesteryear and precisely built for the current moment of genre defiant pioneering.While crafting Anxious’ new album, Little Green House, the Connecticut five-piece were afforded a luxury so few bands are when making their debut album: time. The Connecticut band unpacks struggles, joys, and hard-earned realizations in a way that makes them feel wise beyond their years. ![]() ![]() On Little Green House, Anxious explores what it feels like to enter adulthood in unflinching detail. With this amount of effort it’s no wonder that within a few years of graduation, Anxious has built a solid foundation for their debut album to flourish upon. Weekends were filled with regional runs of shows outside of their Fairfield, Connecticut home-base. This may seem like a simple premise, but for five kids still in high school at the time, it’s quite an accomplishment.Early songs were packaged in limited run demo tapes with accompanying zines and hand-dyed t-shirts. Since the inception of Anxious in 2016, the band has always acted with purpose. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cranial nerve IV (the trochlear nerve_ innervates the superior oblique muscles, which moves the eye downward and outward. Cranial nerve III innervates the superior, medial, and inferior rectus muscles, as well as the inferior oblique muscle, which together function to move eyes medially and in the vertical plane. ![]() Cranial nerve exam includes assessment of the extraocular movements, which are controlled by cranial nerves III, IV and VI. ![]() Testing of the pupillary responses also assesses the function of cranial nerve III (the oculomotor nerve), parasympathetic fibers of which form the efferent limb of the pupillary reflex. Its axons convey visual information and compose the afferent limb of the pupillary reflex. Cranial nerve II (the optic nerve) is the only cranial nerve that can be directly visualized as it exits from the central nervous system. The 12 Cranial Nerves and Their Basic FunctionsĬranial nerve I (the olfactory nerve) is a purely sensory nerve that conveys the sense of smell, and is not routinely tested during most examinations.

The cranial nerves are symmetrical therefore, while performing the examination, the examiner should compare each side to the other. The cranial nerve examination is applied neuroanatomy. Importantly, a variety of pathological conditions that are associated with alterations in mental status (such as some neurodegenerative disorders or brain lesions) can also cause cranial nerve dysfunction therefore, any abnormal findings during a mental status exam should prompt a careful and complete neurological exam. However, in many cases a patient's history doesn't directly suggest cranial nerve pathologies, as some of them (such as sixth nerve palsy) may have subtle manifestations and can only be uncovered by a careful neurological exam. In some cases, cranial nerve dysfunction is readily apparent: a patient might mention a characteristic chief complaint (such as loss of smell or diplopia), or a visually evident physical sign of cranial nerve involvement, such as in facial nerve palsy.

I refer to these as 'buy bets.' They pay 7-6 on the 6 & 8, 7-5 on the 5 & 9, and 39-20 on the 4 & 10. Each number pays the better odds between place and buy bets. Obviously, the directors wouldn't have written this into the story if they would have deemed it unsafe for the actress. To simplify the game, instead of offering both place and buy bets, I offer just one for each number. After Goldfinger she was in a few more films before retiring, so she lived through the movie just fine. Regardless, actress Shirley Eaton had doctors standing by when she wore the paint, and was not affected at all by the scene. However, body paint could still keep you from sweating (which would overheat your body), and could be toxic if you wear it for too long, so covering yourself in it isn't the best idea. Of course, we now know that people don't breathe through their skin so as long as you're breathing through your mouth or nose, you won't suffocate. Since this woman was painted for real and people thought that would kill someone, it was enough for viewers to conclude that she had died when she slipped out of public view. Knowing this, dancers back then would leave a small patch of their skin exposed so as to make breathing possible. In those days, some people believed that the body breathed through the skin, which would mean that someone who was totally covered in paint would suffocate. ![]() Instead, it was a bird, which can be seen much more clearly in the remastered DVD release of the film: And if the film staff were "covering it up," they wouldn't have been so cheap as to not get another take of the scene. Even in 1939, it would have been physically impossible for someone to commit that act and not have a single person notice. Nobody committed suicide on the set of The Wizard of Oz. That doesn't even take into account the fact that the Munchkins weren't even on the set when this scene was recorded. Even if it somehow slipped by them, the post-production team would have seen the hanging when they were editing the film. First, filming a movie requires dozens of people at any given time, who would have surely noticed someone who was hanging on the set. This is the kind of hoax that seems believable when you get caught up in excitement and view the slow-mo video, but think about it for just a minute. Once thought to be a crew member accidentally stuck on-screen, the legend eventually evolved into its current form: a Munchkin extra, distraught from unrequited love, decided to end his life on the movie's set. ![]() ![]() Mobile push Project Planning Properties Hierarchical tasks Support for parent-child relationships of tasks yes yes Recurring tasks Support for definition of tasks that occur repeatedly yes no Milestone tracking Milestones indicate the completion of major deliverables, normally by completing a set of tasks yes yes Task dependencies Dependencies between tasks are logical relationships that restrict the sequence of task executions, e.g. ![]() Web-based service (SaaS) Software-as-a-Service model Project Online Commercial Web-based architecture yes Project Online no Sync via self-hosted or hosted web server Operating systems Windows OS X Mobile apps no 3rd-party apps to import Microsoft Project files exist iOS API Application Programming Interface yes no Multi-user yes Project Online yes via sync server Authentication mechanism Active Directory Project Online Password via sync server Notifications Email Project Online Desktop push Rank #81 Developer Microsoft The Omni Group Website /microsoft-365/project/project-management-software /omniplan Technical documentation /documentation/en/omniplan-2-for-mac-user-manual Social network pages LinkedIn 16,874 followers Twitter 37,772 followers Twitter 5,030 followers Initial release 1984 2006 License Commercial ![]() ![]() ![]() Shannon Stillwell and Quamarvious Nichols were charged with one additional count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon related to the death of Shymel Drinks on March 18.

Then he leaned forward, fired up his computer and brought up the security camera app to keep an eye on the thugs in the hall. Slumping down into his comfortable swing office chair he sipped his coffee for a few minutes as his mind cleared. This he took back along the corridor, through the large sitting room and on into his study. This wouldn’t secure them for long but any efforts of theirs to try and break free would alert Wilder as soon as he’d switched on the house’s CCTV system upstairs in his office.Īfter frisking both he went back upstairs to the kitchen and made a large breakfast-sized cup of coffee. He had just had time and enough twine left to tie their feet and ankles to the door chain. Here he bent down and working fast, bound their wrists behind their backs and then their wrists to their ankles. Snatching up a pair of kitchen scissors, he ran back down the stairs to the two thugs. ![]() Putting the frying pan down on the central island, he rummaged in a drawer and pulled out a large ball of heavy twine. Running back upstairs, he hurried through to the kitchen. Wilder quickly switched on the lights, picked up the gun and ran down to check on the two. When the two men reached the bottom of the stairs, utter silence followed. He fell backwards on top of his companion and both tumbled down the stairs intertwined in each other to accompanying shouts of pain, the noise of their rapid descent and the smashing of two banister poles. The thug’s yells of shock and pain were now followed by utter mayhem. Stepping swiftly forward, Wilder then smashed the leading intruder full in the face with the flat of the heavy pan. The gun flew out of the hand and skidded away across the landing floor. ![]() The force drove the hand and the gun down onto the floor of the landing. He then used his considerable strength to bring the edge of the frying pan down onto the hand holding the gun. Wilder waited a fraction of a second until the gun-hand was past the top of the stairs. A moment later one hand holding a gun the other a torch appeared at the top of the stairs. He clenched his jaw tightly and raised the frying pan to shoulder level. So this wasn’t going to be a social call - that was for sure. He knew instantly these people had been sent here by the Xiong Corporation. Straining to hear as they drew closer, Wilder was shocked to find that they were speaking in Mandarin, the one Chinese dialect he knew reasonably well. By now, the intruders had started up the stairs and had begun whispering to each other. He cursed that being tired when he got back home last night around midnight it seemed that he’d locked only one of the front door’s three locks. He could now hear that intruders had managed to get into the house and that there were at least two of them. Hurrying back to the top of the stairs, he stopped but didn’t look around the corner. Here he picked the heaviest frying pan off a rack of four of them. With the house now lit only by shafts of bright moonlight angling through the south-facing windows, he turned and ran along the landing and into the kitchen. He dropped his hand from the switch, crossed back to the stairs up to the bedrooms and switched off the lights on the stairs and on the second floor above. There it was again - down the next flight of stairs, in the gloom of the hallway below, there came the faint noise someone outside the house trying to pick one of the front-door locks. With his hand still paused by the switch, he listened intently. But just as his finger found the switch, he stopped he thought he’d heard something. As Tom Wilder came down the stairs from his bedroom and reached the first floor landing, he was about to stretch out and switch on the lights for the landing. ![]() |
