2/28/2023 0 Comments Dark kabaret review![]() ![]() It is like encountering a Marlene Dietrich like chanteuse in Cape Town. Arrive early to enjoy Hishin’s pre-show cabaret set. Hannah Hishin and Jessica Köhler are great. Emily Isted is an acclaimed ballerina and here she is saucing it up with burlesque – revealing and concealing – teasing between the flickers of light and shadow. Imogen Kelly wore sandals and conjures up Marilyn Monroe. ![]() Harris says that in choreographing this set, she was inspired by Imogen Kelly’s performance in the 23rd Annual Miss Exotic World Competition. ![]() Emily Isted is dazzling, as she mashes up the precision from her ballet training with burlesque. Besides from reviving these fave sets, the rest is new. Everything feels like a “long time ago” at the moment, in the 2 nd year of the pandemic. There is a contortionist masked being set that was also performed “a long time ago”. Alexander Tops performed this famous variety show routine in a previous Followspot show, Bon Soir, “a long time ago”. Watch out for Bradley Searle and his mannequin. Two of the vaudeville type acts have been seen in previous Followspot Kalk Bay shows. Noir features signature Followspot Kalk Bay strength and athletic dance – with the amazing Brad and Ash Searle (brothers) and Liam Gillespie. Vanessa Harris as director has drawn from burlesque, vaudeville and cabaret to put together 22 sets –packed into one hour and twenty minutes. I loved Noir: The wow of major lifts, comic interludes, showbiz glam allure of burlesque and staying balanced and on top always.

As far as I tested with my iMac 27 inch late 2013, BenSova’s Patched Sur ver 0.4 beta was the only version worked. I applied this update downloading full installation *.pkg file created updated USB stick base installation media. MacOS Big Sur is now updated to ver 11.2.1. Take a look at the following image for proof. Patched Sur version is now all new 0.2.0 – here is the quick video link BenSova himslef posted.Īs a result, I now have “Big Sur” 11.2 on my iMac 27 inch late 2013 and so far absolutely no issues (performance wise, much better than running Catalina – I hate to say but Catalina was a disastrous operating system and I did not like it at all).

Usually speaking, there is a dragon ball in the front of the dragon head, which leads where the dragon moves, and the dragon head is the heaviest part. ![]() Dragon Danceĭragon dance is a traditional dance and performance, which is performed by a team of skilled dancers who make the motionless dragon alive by manipulating dragon poles. The steersman stands at the stern of the boat, and uses a sweep oar to steer the dragon boat, whose work is to control where the boat goes. 20 paddlers are in pairs, whose work is paddling, and the drummer usually sits at the bow facing the paddlers, whose work is to command the team by beating the drummer and using the drummer beat, hand signals and voice calls, and it is tactical to the team racing. ![]() A team for dragon boat racing consists of 22 members: 20 paddlers, 1 drummer, and 1 steersman. Hence, dragon boat racing is held as a ritual thing in memory of Quyuan.ĭragon boat racing nowadays uses professional dragon boats and has professional racing teams. On that day, Quyuan drowned himself in the Miluo river because his country was conquered, when his suicide news came to people’s ears, people rowed boats as fast as they can to retrieve his body because they were afraid that his body would be eaten by fish, but their efforts had no gains. Moreover, dragon boat racing has a cultural meaning, commemorating the great poet, patriot Quyuan, and large-scale dragon boat racing is held at the Dragon Boat Festival/Duan Wu festival which is celebrated at the fifth day of the fifth Chinese lunar month. In order to make an inspection to this project and show off his great cause, Emperor Suiyang made an order to built a colossal, sumptuous dragon boat, and made three tours to three different sections of the Grand Canal, who was criticized and got a bad reputation for the huge spending on the dragon boat and the tours.ĭragon boat racing is a religious, ritual and entertaining activity, an activity for ordinary people, and an activity to entertain the royal family who may see the racing. During the Sui dynasty, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was unearthed. Dragon Boat and Dragon Boat RacingĪ dragon boat is a watercraft driven by human power, made of wood and its body is dragon-like, with a dragon head at the bow. Those celebration activities may be different in the south and north of China, and may be different in different provinces. Fourth, there are something about eating: eating long and thin noodles called Longxumian (Dragon Beard Noodles) which has a symbolic meaning-a long life expectancy eating pancakes called longlinbing ( scales of dragon) and dumplings called long’er( ears of dragon) and women would not do needlework because they are afraid it may hurt eyes of dragon. A saying tells that having a haircut in this day, you would be energetic, vigorous in the whole year. Third, it is to have a haircut, which is viewed as a sign to good luck. Then people would go to a temple to hour the dragon king and show their sincere gratitude. Second, one form of dragon kings' existence is- be worshipped in a temple. This whole ritual is named Yinlongtian-to lead field dragon. ![]() ![]() First, in the early morning, every family would light a lantern and go to a river or well to fetch water and back home, then light candles, burn incense sticks and offer a sacrifice. On that day, there are lots of conventional celebration activities, and some activities are remained to nowadays, while some are just kept in the past. To this climate phenomenon, there is a folk saying-it would rain only the dragon raise its head. Dragon Head-raising Day has relation with spring and farming: after the frigid winter, spring comes, animals are awake, but because of the winter, the weather is dry, farming lacks water. Dragon Head-raising Dayĭragon Head-raising Day is celebrated on the second day of the second Chinese lunar month to make respects to Dragon King and pray for good weather for farming and big harvest, which is considered as the start of spring and farming. The following introduces several cultural things and an important day, or a festival related with dragon, which are considered as traditional Chinese elements. Since its creation, dragon is fused with religion and politics and education, as a result, it has impacts not only on people’s life and thinking, but also on the unique culture people create. Considering from the specialty attributes of dragon to Chinese people, dragon has been intertwined with Chinese culture and the two forms a strong and inseparable relation, which deeply roots in Chinese people’s heart. ![]() 2/28/2023 0 Comments Gluten content in harpoon ipa![]() ![]() Clocking in at 9.8% ABV, Harpoon says this porter will leave you feeling loved inside and out. This imperial porter is brewed with a hearty base of chocolate, caramel, and Marris Otter malt, which is complemented by sweet cherry and cacao nibs added during the fermentation process. The Harpoon brewers worked the recipe up a 10-barrel test batch, and now the beer has become a special release.

This past November I also got to visit the Harpoon Brewery location in Windsor, Vermont. Check out Harpoon’s website to learn more about the Boston location. Guided tours are still only $5 and include samples, but should be reserved ahead of time. On the lower side for both IPA calories and IPA carbs is Founders All Day IPA, which has 150 calories and 10.9 grams of carbohydrates in a 12-ounce bottle or can. There is often a long line outside as thirsty patrons wait to enjoy samplers, drink pints, and eat delicious pretzels and other snacks. For example, Samuel Adams New England IPA has 211 calories, and a higher carb count than a lighter, non-IPA beer. Today, the Harpoon Brewery & Beer Hall is open in Boston’s Seaport District, in the same building as the original brewery. The tours quickly became popular and often sold out. Eventually they added a $5 entrance fee, which included a guided tour and guided sampling. My dear husband, Rich, carried a case of UFO White from the brewery, onto a bus and two different trains, then another block back to our hotel in Brookline.Īt first, the tasting room was a casual stop for tasting various samples, purchasing cases and 6-packs, and observing the brewing area.

Many thanks to Wendy and Martha for a fun and jam-packed three days. It's a good thing Wendy and Martha both like dogs, because Ty insisted on being right where the action was! Ty the yellow lab loved having a workshop here in our home. She began working with more painterly approaches, adding some bokashi (gradations), and ended up with a varied group of proof prints that she will take back to her studio and continue to work with. She was disappointed with the colors she chose for her first set of proofs, which drove her to drop her plans and begin experimenting. It was a challenging design for a single day of carving - she used 5 blocks for 7 basic color areas. Painter/printmaker Martha Ebner of Rust Avenue Studios in Northampton worked with a landscape design of a heron and a bridge. She left with a small edition of proofs that she plans to continue to refine back home in her studio. Her plans for color seemed to work right off the bat, so once she had pulled a few proofs, her task was to refine her four blocks rather than focus a lot on color balance. Each approached moku hanga in their own way and allowed the process to guide them as they became accustomed to all the variables involved - the amount of paste, water and pigment, the personality of each wooden plate, the effects of baren pressure, the interactions of colors as they build.Īrtist and sheep farmer Wendy Ketchum of New Hampshire worked with a very graphic image she had developed of nasturtium flowers and leaves. Working with Wendy and Martha confirmed for me that there are a lot of ways to make a print. As anyone who has made a moku hanga style print knows, that's a whole lot to cram into three days, so it was a full-on experience with barely enough time to grab some lunch. The three days followed the three basic stages of making a print, with the first day being devoted to design and color separation, the second day all about carving, and day three dedicated to printing. My experience has been that the people who attend Zea Mays workshops are usually practicing artists, many of whom have already had some printmaking experience, and are really fun to work with. When the moku hanga workshop was canceled at Zea Mays Printmaking and director Liz Chalfin asked me if I'd like to work privately with a couple of the students who had signed up, I jumped at the chance. ![]() 2/27/2023 0 Comments Amber sunblaze rose![]() ![]() We will update our website if this changes.įor more information about our deliveries please click here.

More About Nordpass Discount Code & Promo Codes in Australia for 2022 ![]() 2/27/2023 0 Comments World record paper airplane![]() ![]() But also notice that there might be room for improvement - can you lengthen the wings while still allowing a dartlike launch? If so, the paper plane world record and all its glory could be yours. Notice all these design features in the plans for Blackburn’s world-record paper airplane, shown above. Like the space shuttle, which is forced to land with its nose high in the air, an increased angle of attack creates increased lift (as long as it doesn’t make the plane flip). Flaps-up means that air pushes down on the trailing edge, slightly rotating the plane around its center of gravity and keeping the nose up. Instead of adding aerodynamically beneficial ballast, fold your wings slightly up, so that when you look directly at the plane’s nose, the fuselage and wings form the letter “Y,” not the letter “T” (horizontal wings) and certainly not like an upward-pointing arrow or three-line Christmas tree (downward angled wings).īlackburn also gently folds up the wing’s trailing edge to make his launchable dart a little more like a glider once it levels off. But world-record rules disallow any additions to the paper, so creative folding is required. A cheater clip also helps ensure your plane’s center of gravity remains below the wing, on the fuselage, making your plane stable right side up. Recreationally, you can adjust your paper plane’s center of gravity with a paperclip. For example, in the super-simple plane made by multiply folding down the 8.5″ side of a piece of paper and folding wings, you’d want to fold exactly half the paper into the plane’s leading edge. Mathematically, it means that in a square-winged plane, you need exactly half the plane’s weight right up front on the nose to make the full center of gravity rest a quarter of the way back. ![]() So optimal design is a balance between stability and lift. But you don’t want to hang an anvil off the nose - that would negate the effect of lift. “The further forward your center of gravity, the more your plane acts like a weather vane,” says Blackburn. “For a rectangular, or nearly rectangular, wing, the center of gravity should be a quarter of the distance from tip to tail,” says Blackburn, “but for a plane with triangular wings, the center of gravity should be right at the midpoint.” Basically, this is because the additional lift of a rectangular wing requires additional weight up front to keep the plane from pulling immediately nose-up and flipping instead of flying. Wing shape defines other aspects of design, too. But so far he’s been unable to find a design that has both long wings and the ability to withstand the force of the nearly 60 mph launching throw. “People don’t realize how desperately I would love to fold my plane the long way,” says Blackburn, which would allow him to make wings from the 11-inch rather than 8.5-inch side of the paper. “They certainly look cooler, and if you’re just throwing a paper plane across the room, you might as well have something that looks cool.”īut a world-record plane needs both the ability to act like a dart during launch, and like a glider after it levels off - a tricky balance. “I make pointed airplanes myself,” says Blackburn. These triangular wings certainly have a paper plane design purpose. A straight-winged Cessna can land almost flat to the runway. You can also see these swept-back wings on the space shuttle, and because these high-speed wings have very little lift at low speeds, the shuttle needs to keep an aggressive, nose-up angle of attack even when landing. The first is optimized for slow soaring, while the second - assuming an unladen European swallow - is optimized for quick dips and dives. ![]() You can see this in the difference between the condor and the swallow. ![]() “Long, rectangular wings are for slow speeds and long glides, and short, swept-back wings are for high speeds and maneuverability,” said Blackburn, when I interviewed him for my book, Brain Trust. Now to design, wherein lies the true geekery of paper planes. And a good throw means different things for different planes (we’ll get into specs later), but for a world-record attempt, you use a baseball-style throw to launch the plane straight up, as high as possible - there’s video of Blackburn’s Georgia Dome launch and subsequent 27.6-second, world-record flight online at. They also make the plane perfectly symmetrical. Let’s polish off the first two in a couple words: Good folds are extremely crisp, reducing the plane’s profile and thus its drag. And according to aerospace engineer and record holder Ken Blackburn, you need master only three things in your quest for paper-plane glory: good folds, a good throw and good design.
