This product is a combination of many principles of improving wheelchairs, with the main exception of adding airless tires to all the wheels. I took a look at all the existing technology and began brainstorming to get what I have presented. I was hoping to make new improvements to the wheel chair and roll them together to get a more able mechanism for urban and outdoor transport. One video actually showed a friend of mine from high school going through her daily commute as a young professional, trying to overcome all the obstacles that exist and go unnoticed by most able-bodied individuals. At this same time I began seeing several videos online showing how difficult it was for individuals in wheel chairs to get around the sidewalks. A few years ago I moved to Queens, NY, and began using public transportation a lot more.

In addition, there are other versions for Windows, which are offered for a fee as Business Solutions. According to the manufacturer, the program has been downloaded more than two and a half billion times by 2020. has belonged to Czech antivirus provider AVAST since 2017. And AVAST was bought by Norton in 2021 (see Avast is bought by Norton for 8.6 billion US dollars). I don't recommend CCleaner – it's a kind of snake oil. Microsoft had even classified the part as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) for a short time (see Windows Defender flags CCleaner as PUP – Part 1). Cracked CCleaner Pro used as bait for malware trap But I have to note that millions of users still swear by CCleaner. Where a software is coveted and also available in a paid Pro variant, lies and scams are not far. Some users want CCleaner Pro, but do not want to pay anything. So search the pages of the wide Internet for cracked versions. #Ccleaner piriform malware crackedĬzech antivirus provider AVAST has recently discovered that cyber criminals want to lure users into installing a malware, Trojan that steals information, using a supposedly cracked CCleaner Pro as a bait. I became aware of this topic via the above tweet from colleagues. It was a contradiction between pure evil and beauty,” said the British singer-actress, who wore a stunning pink leather Chanel jacket and a long matching leather skirt for the party. “ Mommie Dearest was so completely psychologically messed up, but Faye Dunaway always looked fabulous. Ora shared that the notorious 1981 Joan Crawford biopic Mommie Dearest is her cinematic fashion inspiration. Dornan greeted her with a kiss on the cheek, and also gave a quick peck to Jojo Rabbit director Taika Waititi, who accompanied Ora to the soiree. After their conversation ended, Dornan made a beeline to his Fifty Shades of Grey costar Rita Ora. I still want to do more comedy.” During the cocktail hour, Dornan was spotted in a huddle with Rashida Jones and Normal People actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, who was dressed elegantly in a cozy Chanel black wool tweed jacket and trouser. That’s one of the most iconic moments in cinema for me. “Take that scene in The Jerk when he's backing out of the house, and he's taking all the stuff that he thinks he deserves. “I remember thinking his comedy was unparalleled,” said Dornan, who flexed his own comedic muscle in 2021’s Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. ![]() ![]() The charismatic Belfast star shared that Steve Martin inspired him to become an actor, especially after Dornan watched the 1979 comedy The Jerk. Across from the bar was Dornan, who attended the bash with his wife, Amelia Warner. The two playfully posed for photographs together and held court near the bar during the cocktail reception, held in the garden courtyard of the Polo Lounge. Clad in a Chanel black and white tweed embellished mini dress, the best actress nominee for Spencer was accompanied by her fiancée, Dylan Meyer. Everything just sort of fits me perfectly.” Stewart was one of the first guests to arrive at the party. I find that you cannot go wrong if you stick to very classic, traditional, tailoring. He was kind of loose, but wore these casual suits that were well tailored,” explained Golding, looking dapper in a cream wool blazer and matching wool vest with white trousers. “That’s one of the first films I kind of took notice of fashion. Sometimes, going into a film, you don’t really quite grasp what kind of style your character is-but when you start building and working with the wardrobe stylist, they help you just get it right.” The Crazy Rich Asians actor said that one of his early cinematic fashion inspirations was Jude Law in the 2004 romantic comedy Alfie. “A film really inspires fashion in a lot of ways, so wardrobe artists are one of the most important components in creating a character. “A night like tonight, where we are celebrating both film and fashion, is really special,” said Henry Golding on his way into the cocktail reception. Russell, and Paolo Sorrentino and stars Caitríona Balfe and Jamie Dornan from best-picture nominee Belfast were among a group of elegantly dressed partygoers gathered at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s famed Polo Lounge to toast this past season’s work in cinema. ![]() Following tradition, on Saturday evening, current Oscar nominees Kristen Stewart, Jane Campion, Jessie Buckley, and Denis Villeneuve prolific filmmakers Francis Ford Coppola, Ava DuVernay, David O. Every year since 2009-with the exception of 2021, due to Covid-19-the legendary French fashion house has hosted an intimate soirée to celebrate the intersection of film and fashion on the eve of Hollywood’s biggest night. The last stop on the long road to the Academy Awards is the Chanel and Charles Finch pre-Oscars dinner party. ![]() ![]() I was among the cyclists who participated. He adjusted his pace to interact with riders from front to back before the ride finished back at Motion Cycling where e spent time posing for pictures and signing autographs. Miller led the hourlong ride across 18 miles of Fishers streets with the assistance of a police escort. “This lets me know there is a beautiful bike community back in my adopted hometown of Indiana. As cyclists, we all pedal on two wheels and we all enjoy this so that’s what cycling is all about – togetherness,” Miller told the riders. “I love the diversity that I’m seeing women, kids, men, Black, white, brown. Wednesday, the crowd inched their bikes near the parking lot exit from where their ride leader stood atop a pickup truck to offer words of thanks and encouragement before Reggie’s Ride. He’s part of the community, being involved in things that we do every day.” “It makes me feel like I know (Miller) better. Lantz said, “Healthy living is extremely important, so to have Reggie be there and support that and people showing up to support that, is great for our Indianapolis and surrounding communities.”Ĭallahan had heard about the ride through a new women’s cycling and mentorship program called Divas. Reggie Miller (13) G - 2019-20 SENIOR Miller practiced with the team during the 2019-20 season but did not see any game action. Many donned Miller’s “Boom Baby”-branded cycling gear, including Sarah Callahan and her partner Mark Lantz of Indianapolis. Miller contacted the owner of Motion Cycling and Fitness in Fishers five weeks prior with the hopes of organizing the free event.Ĭhris Carr got busy reaching out to area cycling clubs and social media to ultimately fill a field of 250 riders who ranged from beginner to experienced. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer spends a lot of his free time on two wheels as an avid cyclist in mountain biking and on the road and, come Saturday, as a distance gravel cyclist in the Dust Bowl 100 race in Morgan County.Īhead of the weekend’s 100-mile endeavor, also known in the sport as a century ride, Miller opened an invite for the central Indiana community to join him on a shorter ride to complete his training. (WISH) – Former Indiana Pacers great Reggie Miller on Wednesday made his way back to Indiana to share a different athletic passion. In Betty Boop's Big Boss, Betty is harassed by her boss and fights of his advances when outraged police and the armed forces all attack the building in order to protect her. Betty begs him to stop and is saved just in time by Koko the Clown.īut it seems unlikely that the creators actually intended to create her as an icon for women's advancement. In Boop-Oop-A-Doop, for example, Betty is a tightrope performer whose boss has followed her back into her tent and then threatens her job if she doesn't submit to his advances. In fact, there are a few episodes that portray her fighting off intimidating men, even some where she is facing sexual harassment, a highly taboo subject at the time. One of the reasons that Betty is so adored even to this day is the fact that many people see her as a feminist icon, oozing with sexuality, but preserving her virtue against dominating men. While on screen, she maintained her virtue, but behind the scenes, the company allowed her to be a little more naughty, sending a Christmas card out in 1931 that portrayed her in bed with Santa Claus, winking at the viewer. This also suited her character's age-according to a 1932 interview with Max Fleischer, Betty was only supposed to be only 16 years old. This childish sexuality was a perfect balance for the flapper image Betty represented. This was reflected in her design, where her large head is more reminiscent of a baby than of a human adult. In her appearance with Cab Calloway in Minnie the Moocher, for example, she's just a scared little girl who has run away from home. Characters would often try to take a peep at her and in many episodes, she would have to fight off a man who was trying to get fresh with her.ĭespite all this, she still maintained a girlish innocence. ![]() For this reason, there was a lot more sexuality in the cartoons themselves, she not only has cleavage, but in the episode above and in Bamboo Isle, Â she didn't even have a top on. Unlike most cartoons we see today, her episodes were made to appeal to adult audiences. Adult Animationīetty was one of the first sex symbols of animation and she remains one of the most famous. She was given her own series that same year and dubbed "The Queen of the Animated Screen." Her cartoon series was so popular that many other characters got their start in her series, including Popeye. Becoming A Starīy 1932, Betty was the lead star of the Talkarttoons. Creators say that her appearance in the movie did help inspire her name later on though. Many people believe that Betty got her name in the 1931 cartoon Betty Co-ed, but the Betty this one was named after was a different character in the film. ![]() In Betty's first cartoon appearances, the supporting character didn't have a real name and was called "Nancy Lee" or "Nan McGrew" in a few episodes. As Betty proved to be more and more popular, she evolved into a full human by 1932, her floppy ears turned into hoop earrings and her poodle nose was morphed into a cute button nose. ![]() The character was based on the looks of singer Helen Kane (pictured), best known for her song "I Wanna Be Loved By You," and actress Clara Bow, who was the inspiration for Betty's Brooklyn accent. ![]() Because she was created for Bimbo, she was originally an anthropomorphic poodle character, but she still had her Betty charms. A Real Dogīetty's first appearance was in the cartoon Dizzy Dishes, where she was designed to be an object of lust for Bimbo, a dog character who was currently the lead in many of Max Fleischer's Talkartoons. A relic of the jazz era, she was an icon of hope for Americans suffering through the Great Depression as her flapper persona reminded them of good times from the past. Betty Boop celebrated her 80th birthday this month, as her first appearance on film occurred on August 9, 1930. The Tidal takes up more space in the tank.Last week, I bought a Seachem Tidal 110 filter and ended up returning it because of the noise level. IMO, one of the biggest issues I think the Tidal line has, especially the 110, is the amount of black plastic that's sitting in the water compared to an AC110. I power it down for every WWC and it has yet to fail to instantly fire up and begin pumping. ![]() Nothing that I would consider obnoxious, but of course that's subjective! In regards to noise, my Tidal 110 makes the same slight whirring noise that my AC110s do. They don't leave anything alone and bump the heater often, but after only a year of use? Meh. I mostly blame the stretched out heater clip on the oscar and severum in this tank. The heater clip on mine has stretched open to the point it won't hold my heater properly, so I had to resort to a mag-clip kit for this tank, like I have on most my other setups. A thin layer of filter floss and then a bag of ceramic bio media on top. I've been running mine with 2 blue sponges on the bottom. I ordered more of the pre-cut blue sponges for my Tidal 110 a few weeks after I bought the filter. Then Tetra bought them and cheapened them up to the point where the noise is pretty annoying and they feel flimsy. I think the Whisper filters were actually a good design. That was a visual indicator that you needed to change the cartridge. My old Whisper filters would not bypass, but instead water would pour out of the intake side back into the tank. Because if you don't, you'll end up with water on the floor. When a HOB filter gets clogged, you want the flow rate to slow down AND bypass to happen. But I also saw the bypass video, where the water level was higher than the media basket and water was bypassing. Since the filters haven't been on the market for 3 years yet, I would have to assume Seachem would help me with warranty issues. I'm getting a "Used, like new" filter from Amazon for $39.00. I'm thinking of trying an "all foam" setup and going with a 10 ppi pad, then a 20 ppi pad and then a 30 ppi pad. That's the same density as the Aquaclear pad. Through email exchange I confirmed with Seachem that the pad they provide is 20 ppi. But I am pretty sure that they were sent those filters for free by Seachem to drum up hype for them. It got a lot of great reviews on YouTube by some of the "big names" like pecktek, and AquaPros. If you register it on Seachem's website, they extend the warranty to 5 years. ![]() Also had one of the original Penguin Emperor filters when they first came out. I bought a Second Nature WDF as soon as I saw it in the store (anyone even remember these things?). The one in the family room, it didn't really make any difference. That made the 110 in the basement a LOT quieter. ![]() I removed the impeller shaft and replaced it with a Fluval 406 impeller shaft. I did the same hack with this one I did with the old AC110. The impeller blades on the new one are green. What's odd is that the two impeller look somewhat different between the two. The one I just put in my family room is definitely rattling. ![]() The AC110 I can just barely hear right now on my basement tank. I don't mind hearing a faint hum, but a loud hum is just annoying. I don't know if I am being hyper-sensitive about this stuff, but the noise just really bothers me, especially when I have a 55 gallon right next to my desk while I am working. I shall have to take it apart tomorrow and grease the impeller and shaft up and see if that helps. The new Aquaclear 110 seems to have a rattly impeller for some reason. ![]() The gloss will ensure that the wood on the instrument is kept looking beautiful, even after years of playing. With the smaller neck and overall high comfortability of this instrument, it would make a fantastic choice for all players who are just starting out on the mandolin.įinish: The beautiful high-gloss finish on the Kentucky KM-150 gives this instrument an allure of expensiveness for a mid-range price. Overall, if you are a beginner player who is willing to pay the price for this mandolin, then the Kentucky mandolin will definitely not disappoint. You definitely will not need to be concerned about this mandolin slipping out of tune easily, which is great news for a gigging musician who will be playing on stage a lot. The overall design and hardware construction of this mandolin is surprising given its mid-range price. This is what makes it a great choice for beginner players who are struggling to perfect their playing, or even for more advanced players who have much smaller hands than most. One of the best things about this Kentucky model is the fact that the neck is slimmer than most other models on the market. My Review: The Kentucky range of mandolins has become a very popular choice for many beginners and even advanced players.
