The National Hurricane Center in Miami said at 5 pm ET that Alberto was centered about 15 miles west-north-west of Panama City, Florida. A few brief tornadoes also were possible in much of Florida and parts of Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama. Subtropical Storm Alberto made landfall further south, on the Gulf coast, pelting white sand beaches with blustery winds and stinging rain that kept the usual Memorial Day crowds away.įorecasters warned heavy rain, flash flooding and dangerous surf posed the biggest threats as Alberto’s ragged core made landfall near Laguna Beach in the Florida Panhandle. However, Hermond was a former employee of his and Marriner said he was heartsick. Randy Marriner, who owns the Manor Hill Tavern, said he hoped to be one of the first businesses to reopen and “be a bright light to our brothers and sisters in Ellicott City”. He felt “like it’s our duty to make sure that we rebuild and open back up”, he said. But he said the town had been through it before. Cortes, owner of La Palapa Grill & Cantina, said it was “a horrible time”, and his business had about 1ft of water inside. Photograph: Jim Lo Scalzo/EPAīusiness owners said on Monday they were determined to rebuild and pull together. Rescue personnel examine damage on Main Street after a flash flood rushed through the historic town of Ellicott City, Maryland. Kittleman said the damage appeare to be worse than in July 2016. Rescue crews were going through the muddied, damaged downtown, conducting safety checks. As the flood waters receded late on Sunday, officials began the grim task of assessing the destruction. Officials said they were heartbroken to see the community so severely damaged by flooding again, less than two years after a flood killed two people and caused millions in damages.įlash floods sent cars floating down Main Street while first responders rescued dozens of people trapped in buildings swamped by water. The area remained blocked off, even to residents and business owners. Kittleman said the other priority for authorities was to assess the condition of buildings which contain shops, restaurants and homes. Emergency workers were “making every effort”, he said. Howard County executive Allan Kittleman said earlier Hermond had not been seen since about 5.20pm on Sunday, when brown water was raging down Main Street. Kohler said the thoughts and prayers of his fellow guard members were with Hermond and his family. Lt Col Kohler said Hermond spent more than 10 years on active duty in the air force, starting in 1996. Lt Col Charles Kohler, a spokesman for the guard, said Hermond is a sergeant assigned to the training department at the Camp Frettard Military Reservation in Reisterstown.

So plant some of your favorites then sit back and relax.īriana Yablonski is a plant enthusiast living in Tennessee. Fortunately, succulents make it easy to create your own zen garden. It’s no question that we can all use some stress relief wherever we can find it. The stems form a groundcover or cascade over if you have the plants in a pot. While this cactus will stay small if it’s in a tiny container, it can grow up to five feet if you give it enough space.Ĭorsican Stonecrop is made up of lots of stems covered with small, light blue leaves. It doesn’t have a stem or trunk, but rather ovular segments stacked one on top of another. The triangular leaves are arranged in a rosette that only gets four to six inches tall, so this plant is perfect for tiny spaces.Īlthough it may look soft, this cactus is actually covered with tiny spines. The zebra plant gets its name from the white stripes on its dark green leaves. While you may think spikes will stress you out, these cacti are easy to care for and a pleasure to look at. It often forms offsets which leads to columns of different heights. This cactus grows up to resemble a column covered in spiked ribs. Euphorbia cereiformis – Milk Barrel Cactus It’s perfect as a stand-alone plant in a piece of driftwood, or as a centerpiece of a larger garden. Echeveria elegans – Mexican SnowballĪlso known as Mexican rose, this succulent forms a beautiful light mint rosette. Mitre aloe, also known as rubber aloe, is a creeping plant that forms many small rosettes of spike-tipped leaves. You might know aloe for its ability to soothe burns, but these plants are also gorgeous. While succulents do form flowers, their showy leaves are reason enough to add them to your garden.Ĭheck out the following six plants for some great choices for your zen garden. Some of these plants are cacti, but there are also other types of succulents. What’s even better is that after your flowers have wilted you can keep the succulents around by rooting them and adding them to your garden.Īll succulents have thick leaves or tissue where they store water. These come with pops of bright blooms along with cool succulents. If you are looking for a mix of colors, you can always look into succulent flower arrangements. While bright red and orange blooms are beautiful, they tend to spark feelings of energy rather than relaxation. Succulents help us decompress even more than some other plants due to their tranquil blue and green colors. The good news is that even if we can’t go outside, we can bring some nature inside! By adding a zen garden to your home, you’ll have a little piece of nature to help you relax. Research has shown that spending time outdoors, hanging with indoor plants, or even looking at a photo of a landscape can decrease our stress levels. This lack of access to the natural world can lead to nature deficit disorder - marked by a decreased ability to focus and regulate stress. Add in a pandemic and lots of us are spending less time in nature than ever before. Whether we like it or not, most of us spend a lot of our time indoors or in front of a screen. To help you get started with creating your own slice of relaxation and rejuvenation, I’ll cover why succulents are great for zen gardens as well as some types of succulents you should consider. They can fit both big and small spaces, and they come in all different shapes. Succulents are some of the best plants for zen gardens since they thrive in most environments and require only a bit of care. By selecting plants that require little care, you’ll end up with a garden that will help you unwind without making you stress about killing your plants. If you’re like me and can use a reminder to relax, consider creating a zen garden. To make it easier, I’m giving away the LinkedIn Auto-Connector Tool in a couple of weeks. You can use these tactics across your sales team – taking over your entire demographic in a month or two. Now that you know how to conquer LinkedIn with precise targeting, it’s time to implement. Time to Rock ‘n’ Roll with Precise Targeting If you’re using a comment or like extractor, then those people getting added will be a target influencer’s most active audience. If you send up to 2,000 messages/day, you’ll add thousands of new members every week. Using this tactic, you’ll expand your thought leadership audience on Facebook fast. Facebook provides all groups a survey feature for new requests. There’s a low barrier to entry to joining, and you can collect a lot of their information when they try to access to better understand what they want. Here’s an example landing page using Messenger: Make sure what you’re giving them is jam-packed with value, and the landing page has been rigorously tested with CRO (conversion rate optimization). If the audience is specific enough, you can send them to an immediate opt-in for a relevant ebook. Then you need a call-to-action that converts. How about emailing everyone who commented on or liked a particular post? If you have a Sales Navigator account and three LinkedIn profiles to run automation on, then you can send 2,000 personalized messages/day. If you produce content regularly, you’ll often see a 10/10 relevance score on the ads you run. Then you upload them into Facebook as a custom audience. If you get an employee and a co-founder to join, then you’ve tripled those numbers.įor a quick refresher, you get your retargeting audience from exporting your connections on LinkedIn via Settings: Your LinkedIn profile provides you a retargeting audience of up to 30,000 individuals and an opportunity to send a personalized message to all of them – entirely automated. Then you need to copy this formula for them. However, using this tactic won’t guarantee that they’re active Commenters or Likers. Using the keyword and title function in Sales Navigator you can target almost anyone on LinkedIn that pertains to your demographic. A tool readily available, Linked Helper, auto-connects to individuals on LinkedIn with personalized messaging using Sales Navigator search criteria. You don’t always need custom scraping and auto-connecting tools. In the example below, we did this for a recent giveaway to message everyone who commented on this post. Now we’re auto-connecting with most active individuals in our target market on LinkedIn. For example, this allows us to have a list of the most active founders following LinkedIn influencers.įrom here, we auto-connect to them on LinkedIn with personalized messaging using our custom tool (only costs $200 to outsource a script). Now we can take the following lists and filter them by job title and any other criteria that relate to our target market. We can also do it with people who liked the influencer’s status or published article such as the one below. This will return their email and profile information including job title, company size, company name, industry, and LinkedIn URL. In the picture below, we extract everyone who comments on an influencer’s post to get their most active audience. If you’re looking to do the same, know that it’s relatively inexpensive to outsource via Upwork or Freelancer, especially if you’re only asking for a script. We built our own in-house tools to extract those who engage with posts. Force Touch trackpad for precise cursor control and pressure‑sensing capabilities enables Force clicks, accelerators, pressure‑sensitive drawing, and Multi‑Touch gestures.65 (U.S.) or 66 (ISO) keys including 4 arrow keys in an inverted‑T arrangement.Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for: Built-in 58.2-watt-hour lithium-polymer batteryĬonfigurable to 512GB SSD, 1TB, or 2TB SSD.Up to 20 hours Apple TV app movie playback.13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology 2560-by-1600 native resolution at 227 pixels per inch with support for millions of colorsĨ-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores.The MacBook Air is still fan-less, so it will likely throttle performance significantly as it gets warmer. Once again, Apple's big selling point for this computer is that it has a fan and more elaborate cooling system, allowing it to handle sustained workloads like video encoding or 3D rendering. Here's the thing: we haven't benchmarked the new MacBook Air yet, and based on my experience with the last model, I expect it to score about the same as the MacBook Pro. The performance bump isn't enough to dump the M1 MacBook Pro if you've already bought one, but it's still nice to see Apple make some decent gains with its sequel chip.Īpple MacBook Pro 13-inch, (Apple M2, 2022)Īpple MacBook Pro 16-inch (Apple M1 Max, 2021)Īpple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Apple M1, 2020)ĭell XPS 15 (Intel i7-12700H, RTX 3050 Ti, 2022) The M2 chip also blew away the M1 in Geekbench's Compute benchmark, as well as Cinebench R23, where it scored 1,300 points higher than the M1 machine. It scored almost 9,000 points in Geekbench 5's multi-core test, whereas the M1 MacBook Pro was closer to 7,000 points. Our review unit, which featured the M2 chip (10 GPU cores) with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, was noticeably faster in just about every benchmark. Together with support for ProRes encoding and decoding, the M2 should make the MacBook Pro a far better option for video editors who don't want to make the leap to the pricier 14-inch model. The real upgrade for Pros, though, is that it now supports up to 24GB of RAM (instead of being limited to 16GB), and also has double the memory bandwidth. It offers 8 CPU cores and up to 10 GPU cores, which Apple claims will deliver 18 percent faster multithreaded performance, and up to 35 percent faster graphics speeds. Now that I've gotten my frustrations out, we can talk about what's good: Apple's new M2 chip. Developers aren’t doing much more to take advantage of it, so in several years it'll just be a useless appendage, like the last protohuman with a tail. It's almost as if Apple had some leftover Touch Bar stock it just had to unload, and we’re paying the price. Just when we thought we'd rid ourselves of Apple's second screen misfire, it's back to torture us again with disappearing function keys and constantly shifting app shortcuts. It's just a shame that those priorities left the 13-inch model with the same chunky-bezeled display and anemic port selection we've seen for years.Īnd no, the Touch Bar doesn't help the situation at all. And, given the many design and supply chain constraints we're facing amid the ongoing pandemic and chip crunch, it was probably smarter for Apple to focus on the new Air, as well as the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros. The MacBook Pro's unibody aluminum case still outshines the vast majority of PCs on the market. Now, I suppose it makes sense that Apple would coast a bit. Keisuke was surprised by Nemu’s behavior but he wants to protect Kanae and decides for the sake of escaping, he will violate the others. Nemu takes advantage, forcing the protagonist to submit to her as she brings her lips up to his ear: “This is a contract kiss.” However, Nemu could see right through him and knew. That was his secret, his urge to assault and humiliate girls. When the lights came back on, the first thing Keisuke and the others saw was the rebellious girl from earlier, restrained to a torture device. However, Keisuke seemed to be getting aroused by Miyako’s appearance. One girl went into a frenzy over those acts irrational, extreme, and immoral contents, lashing out at the 'mysterious voice.' The lights suddenly went out, and all the girls shrieked out of fear. With eyes wide open in fear, she pisses and shits herself. Her screaming begins in tandem with the electrical current. Suddenly the lights go out, the girls scream, then lights return reilluminating the room to show Miyako bound to a grotesque torture device. “Anyone who quits the game will die.” With an assigned act, he must “use the key”.Īfter hearing the unreasonable and immoral requirements to win, Miyako gets pissed and snaps on the mysterious voice. In order to escape the room, Keisuke is the “unlocker” and one heroine the “keyhole”. While still confused about their unusual situation, a mysterious voice suddenly speaks to them: “A game has now started.” Euphoria's edgy locker room scene is no more than a director's cut of all the butts in the locker room during Steel Magnolias.Six people find themselves trapped in a mysterious futuristic complex, forced to dance to the tune of a sadistic computer game, where failure to follow the game rules results in death.Ĭharacters include our protanist, Takato Keisuke, his childhood friend Hokari Kanae, classmate Ando Miyako, underclassmate Mikaba Rika, English teacher Aoi Natsuki, same year Byakuya Rinne, and classmate Manaka Nemu. But the closeups and the flopping and the wide shots exist as no more than a fancy technical reminder that Euphoria is able to squeeze 30 penises into one scene. But what made the scene so ineffective is that in this case, the excess of penis didn't make a point other than further suggest that Nate is surrounded by the appendage that has dictated how he views himself. The 30 penis scene ( originally slated to feature 80 penises) fits within the type of storytelling Euphoria has done across two episodes-the excess is a comment on the calamity of adolescence. The explicit nature is an obvious choice, in a way. The more grotesque or shocking or explicit, the more likely it will be perceived as noteworthy. But outside of the context of the show, it's a prime example of a growing trend in prestige television. He made a concerted effort to always maintain eye contact during those exchanges." It's all a very long-winded way of turning other penises into Nate's enemy-a reminder that his father is a serial cheater who fetishizes trans women. How they'd talk to him with their dicks hanging out. As Zendaya's voiceover explains, "He hated how casual his teammates were about being naked. That's a lot to process, so let's head back to the penises, which are abruptly folded in the crude rundown of Nate's life. Young Nate, discovering his father’s collection of homemade porn. He is only attracted to the most feminine, "perceivably weak" women, and yet at the end of the episode, he's revealed to be chatting on a hookup app with the same trans girl his father raped in Episode One. Nate's fucked up childhood manifests itself in equally fucked up anger and toxic masculinity. He's the masculine heir apparent to a very broken man who expects his son to end up like him. He's not just the son of a man who has regularly preyed upon trans women and gay men, but the son who carries that secret around after discovering his collection of homemade porn featuring his father in the act. All those penises are just a short aside in the story of Nate's life, which gets a brief overview at the top of the episode. The scene centers around Nate, the star athlete with anger issues and some serious sexual anxiety. In an era when edginess is synonymous with craft, what could have been a one-penis-five-second exchange is blown into 30 penises shot in various states, distances, and angles. But the 30 dicks of Euphoria ended up just being flopping, flaccid appendages on display in a locker room scene that fails to achieve its intended purpose. When it comes to shock value, the bar is set pretty high when the pilot of a series features Eric Dane's erect (prosthetic) penis raping a transgender teenager. On Sunday night's episode, the gaggle of penises (gaggle? crop? murder?) made their debut in the first ten minutes of "Stuntin' Like My Daddy." They were objectively fine.

Should you be defeated by a cursed spirit, you will lose any crystals collected. To defeat these spirits, you will first need to weaken them by returning light to obelisks located throughout the game. The anticipated game The Pathless is already released on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X in the USA and UK. On your quest as the Hunter, cursed spirits will attempt to separate you from the eagle, and to avoid detection, stealth is in order. Switch, Xbox One & Xbox Series X 2 Months Ago FebruThe Pathless Release Date. The eagle can assist in these puzzles by interacting with different items in the environment. While out exploring and solving various puzzle types, you will collect crystals used to upgrade the eagle's abilities. Spirit Vision will also come in handy in other areas of the game.

The scooter's deck is pretty narrow, making it easier to carry but more difficult for riders with large feet to stand comfortably. Given the suggested user age of 12 years and up, larger, heavier riders might not reach that speed, particularly on inclines. The scooter's top speed is 18 mph, dependent on rider size. Shocks would add to the weight and cost, though. The ride on its two 8.5-inch honeycomb puncture-proof tires is decent, especially considering the lack of a suspension. The scooter has a rear mechanical disc brake, a bell and front and rear lights for safety and Swagtron even went so far as to include a cup holder. There are three ride modes to choose from and even cruise control, though you'll need to connect a phone to the Boost via Bluetooth and use an iOS or Android app to toggle it on and off. That's not far but fine for last-mile commutes or riding to classes, and it charges in under 4 hours. The rated travel distance is 12 miles expect this number to vary due to rider size, speed traveling, winds and terrain. It easily folds and unfolds with a single locking latch. The Boost has a solid build and feel, designed to support riders up to 320 pounds while weighing just 26 pounds itself – great for walk-up apartments or getting on and off mass transit. The motor is more powerful - going from 250 to 300 watts - but keeps its competitive price. The Swagger 5 Boost is a welcomed upgrade to its predecessor, the Swagger 5 Elite, and replaces it on our list of best scooters. And right now it's available for $100 off the usual price. It also has fenders long enough to keep you dry when rolling over wet surfaces. The signals aren't as visible during the day but are still a welcome addition.Īnother useful design feature: The Emove has an IPX6 rating so you don't have to worry if you get caught in the rain. It even goes a step further with an electric horn and signal lights. A key is needed for ignition and there are front and rear lights along with independent lights on the deck for added safety. It weighs 52 pounds - most of it battery - so it's not the lightest. The scooter has a single-hinge, fold-down knob along with collapsible handlebars, which makes it convenient for storage. The takeoff can also be adjusted for a more aggressive start if you want. The acceleration is smooth enough that you can take off with one hand, though I wouldn't recommend it. It has 10-inch pneumatic tubeless car-grade tires, front dual suspension and rear air-shock suspension, all of which makes for a smooth ride. The adult electric scooter takes about 8 to 12 hours to fully charge. It can support riders up to 352 pounds, hits a top speed of 25 mph and can travel approximately 60 miles on a full charge. The Emove Cruiser has a wide deck, making it easy to stand in a staggered stance or side by side. That alone was more than enough for this scooter to make the list, but that's not all. That means the less you charge your device, the longer the e scooter battery will perform at its peak. Keep in mind that these batteries can only be charged so many times before they no longer perform at an optimal level. That's not the case with the Emove electric scooter - it just keeps going even with heavy rider weight. I'm a heavy guy and I'm also heavy on the throttle, but I've learned to ease off of it if I want to make it home. One of my first times riding this e-scooter I kept looking at the battery indicator expecting it to move it didn't move an inch for miles. The Emove Cruiser makes this abundantly clear. |
