And out of the court I was talking to Karolina and she said: ‘How did you recognise it was a protest so fast?’ “Immediately when it happened, I told the ref it was a protest. I didn’t think it would be in the semi-final,” she told ESPN after her match. ![]() “The crazy thing is that this morning I told myself: ‘I bet there is going to be a climate change protest in the final’. Gauff said she anticipated the protest on the morning of her semi-final. Gauff reaches US Open final: As it happened But hey, if that’s what they felt they needed to do to get their voices heard, I can’t really get upset at it.” Obviously I don’t want it to happen when I’m winning 6-4, 1-0, and I wanted the momentum to keep going. ![]() It was done in a peaceful way, so I can’t get too mad at it. “I always speak about preaching about what you feel and what you believe in. I know the stadium was, because it just interrupted entertainment. Would I prefer it not happening in my match? 100 per cent. I know the tournaments are doing things to do better for the environment. I think there are things we can do better. ![]() “I think that throughout history moments like this are definitely defining moments,” said the 19-year-old Gauff, who had just become the youngest woman to reach the US Open final since her idol Serena Williams in 1999. Yet she stopped short of criticising the protestors. During that heady sequence, the players fought out an all-court rally which – at 40 shots – was the longest of the tournament in either men’s or women’s draw.Īfter the match, Gauff admitted that she had anticipated a climate protest over the final stages of this tournament – but had expected that it would come in the final rather than the semi-final. Gauff was broken when she served for the match, and saw five match points come and go before she finally took her opportunity. There were some significant mistakes as well. Would her wristy swing – which sees her flick the strings through late, in a motion that requires perfect timing – hold up under pressure? To her credit, she refused to back off on that side, firing a succession of heavy, rearing crosscourt blows that made it difficult for Muchova to advance. Gauff’s forehand has always had the potential to self-destruct at any moment, and this was the question as we moved into the final stretch. The fans on Arthur Ashe Stadium all but combusted when one rally found both women run back to retrieve lobs before Gauff eventually snatched the point with a scorching forehand pass. From a shaky start, the match developed into a mighty spectacle. Meanwhile Gauff was also showing greater intent to get to the net, perhaps thinking that she needed to get there first in order to take that option away from Muchova. It was surely no coincidence that her shot-making improved from the back of the court as well. Having been both passive and erratic, she was now looking to come forward and dictate play with her volleys. Happily, though, Muchova used the unscheduled interruption to her advantage.Īfter Muchova’s coaches had given her a pep-talk during the break, she came back with a much clearer strategy. Play had been halted one game into the second set, after a first set that was blighted by an avalanche of unforced errors: Most of them had come from the racket of Gauff’s opponent, Czech No2 Karolina Muchova, who came out on court wearing a sleeve to support a sore right elbow. ![]() ![]() ![]() When a ten year old girl, Tonya Hailey (Rae’Ven Larrymore Kelly) is kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a pair of local drunk rednecks (Nicky Katt and Doug Hutchison), the girl’s father Carl Lee is distraught with rage. The film’s central plot – a distraught father murders his young daughter’s rapists in a fit of rage, only to find himself on trial for his life – is a hot-button issue and gristle-stoking ethical dilemma, pounded out between court sequences between weirdly comedic Ku Klux Klan machinations that don’t work (at least not always), but the joy of A Time To Kill is watching this stellar cast do their thing, Joel Schumacher’s restrained direction honing this piece into some serious awards bait. The characters might have seemed “torn from the headlines” of the mid-90’s but today the film feels pressurised into delivering its message with the weight of a sledgehammer, led by a convicting Matthew McConaughey and a scintillating Samuel L Jackson. Synopsis: In Canton, Mississippi, a fearless young lawyer and his assistant defend a black man accused of murdering two white men who raped his ten-year-old daughter, inciting violent retribution and revenge from the Ku Klux Klan.īoasting one of the most astonishing cast rosters ever assembled, Joel Schumacher’s 1996 courtroom drama – based on John Grisham’s novel of the same name – is evocative, compelling and frustratingly atonal, resulting in a mishmash of homogenous prejudicial combativeness sieved through the sweaty, Klan-inflected Deep South of America’s racist present.

We now explore what happens when a cloud of thin gas is viewed at different angles in relationship to a source of continuous radiation. In this case, the only photons to reach us are the scattered ones corresponding to the absorption in the previous image. (b) On the other hand, if we observe a cloud that is being illuminated by a bright star that is outside our line of sight, we see emission lines. Because some light has been removed, the spectrum is darker there, though it might not be completely black. This is because some of the light is absorbed by the atoms, then re-emitted in random directions as indicated by the multi-colored “photons” (with arrows showing their direction of travel). Figure 2.6: (a) When a bright object like a star is viewed through a cool cloud of gas, we observe gaps in its continuum, as depicted on the left. This energy source could be, for example, a strong electric current (in the case of neon lights) or a nearby star (in the case of emission nebulae). In contrast to a fluorescent bulb or a gas tube, an incandescent lamp emits a purely continuous Planck spectrum.Īs shown in Figure 2.6, an absorption spectrum is created when a continuous source is viewed (head on) through a low-density cloud, and an emission spectrum is created when a source of energy is exciting a low-density cloud. Incidentally, not all neon signs contain the element neon. A “neon” sign can be a good way to achieve this result. Sometimes, you can see the pure discrete or emission-line spectrum coming from a gas tube that has no coating. The extra bright parts of the spectrum are the places where the discrete spectrum from the gas really stands out. But the coating does not convert all of the light. The coating converts some of the light from the gas into a continuous spectrum. The rainbow is produced by a coating on the inside of the bulb. However, if you look carefully, you will notice that certain colors are especially bright. ![]() If you view a fluorescent lamp with a diffraction grating (which spreads light out into its various wavelengths similar to the way a prism does), you will see that it is emitting a rainbow, just like an incandescent lamp. Figure 2.5 shows spectra from some everyday sources of light.įigure 2.5: Spectra from: (a) fluorescent light, (b) neon light, (c) incandescent light. We will learn about two kinds of discrete spectra: emission and absorption spectra. In discrete spectra, only a few frequencies are observed. We now turn to non-continuous, or discrete, spectra. Absorption lines are made when light passes through a colder source like gas clouds, and the gas absorbs particular wavelengths of light.”ĭo you agree with any of these students, and if so, whom?
![]() The most common issue I have with my hearthlings is that they are set to mine/haul/etc and get in a priority loop doing that, followed by eating, drinking and sleeping, and not prioritizing their work. ![]() Having your hearthling doing nothing but their job with a completely clear workstation, and ready items in the clear should work, and if it doesn't may very well be bugged. If he still doesn't pick them up, move the workstation, or create a new one with NOTHING around it (again debug menu works great for this). ![]() If that does NOT happen, pause the game, make sure the resources needed for the task are on the ground, a chest, or stockpile with NOTHING around it so there is no chance it is blocked (you might want to use the debug menu with the stamper and just add the requisite number of items to somewhere close by for testing). He should go and pick up items, then go to the workstation and craft them, and you should see the status in the character sheet change as he does stuff (picking up item, eating, etc) and you will see if he flips jobs mid task, or what task he is prioritizing over working. Check to make sure the workstation is open.Īssign him a level 1 activity that ONLY requires him, his station, and something with minimal objects, like creating an herbalist sign.Ĭlick on him to see his activity, then unpause it and give it a few seconds to queue behind whatever he is already doing.

One of the growing and exciting areas of the CLIX studios is the Digital Design Center, which was created for assisted or self-guided use by the customer. “Retouching can be done on the spot, which,” says Asarnow, “some of our customers say is better than Botox® but a whole lot cheaper! We let our customers choose their own customized packages and there are always multiple portraits to choose from. People can bring in their own props or even come in groups and there is never a per person charge.”īesides color portraits, customers can get black and white, sepia toned or colorized pictures. “Our stylized lighting is movable and we have a large selection of backdrops. “We do very creative photography,” says Asarnow. The business is not labor intensive and can be run by one full-time and three to four part-time employees to start. They have two camera rooms and an events business space. “That way a parent who has purchased only a group picture will be able to see their child’s individual portrait and will many times want to order more.” Prom pictures are delivered right to the school the Monday after an event, “close enough to the dance so that the couples are still together,” jokes Asarnow.ĬLIX Portrait Studios are usually located in strip shopping centers and run about 1400 to 2000 sq ft. “We often do our group shots as composites of individual shots,” says Asarnow. ![]() We really look for opportunities that are being underserved.”Įvent and on location photography can include such venues as preschools and sports leagues so the franchisee really becomes a part of the community he serves. “We are a portrait studio, a digital design center and we also go on location to do event photography, which gives our franchisees multiple revenue streams. “We consider our business to be a hip, fun, high-end quality portrait studio but from the franchisee perspective, it’s a whole lot more.”ĬLIX Portrait Studios offers three brands under one roof. “Our studios are definitely not the old-fashioned, stodgy places of days past,” says Asarnow. ![]() Current franchisees are located on both the east and west coasts and Asarnow sees California as being especially ripe for this unique business, although territories are available across the country. “We are a society accustomed to instant gratification,” he says, “and with our studios you can go home from your session with beautiful portraits.”įranchising since August 2005, CLIX already has 19 locations open or under construction with another 40 in process through Area Development Agreements.

Many people like shooting videos with a digital camera (DC or DV) or a smart phone. What we do along the way determines the finish, and a lot of life is learning to make the best of what we've been given. Then there are the many of us in the great middle class of life-given a little better than average start.īut it's how we finish that's important. Others who start with great wealth and advantage squander it and often quickly burn out in a sad and tragic loss. Some who start with very little use their resources and amass great fortune and accomplishment. Some are born to greater advantage than others. We are given a life on this earth with a certain number of years to live it out. That seems to be the essence of these two parables. When I read these two parables, I have to put myself in the picture as someone who has been given something by God to preserve, promote and return. It's balancing out the necessary with the not-so-necessary that's critical. Some possessions are necessary to our well-being, while others are not so necessary-but often consume our money and our time. How we live and use the talents and minas-the gifts, aptitudes, abilities, means and opportunities we're given in this life-is critical. Our life now is meant to prepare us for our part in the coming Kingdom of God. ![]() These parables reveal that this physical life serves as preparation, a training ground, for something far greater than this life. At the end of the day Christ is more interested in what we do with our spiritual "minas" and "talents" than anything else. The money, talent or mina, is only the vehicle He uses to teach a far greater lesson. And here is a primary lesson: Christ speaks in these two parables about money, but He is really talking about something far more important-the elements of spiritual character. The lesson is that God gives us something of considerable value and expects good stewardship and a return on what He has given. In Luke's account 10 servants are each given one mina, and in Matthew's three servants are given five, two and one talent respectively.īoth terms here, talents and minas, referred to substantial sums of money in the culture of that day. In each case we have a story of servants being given a sum of money, and at the return of their master (Jesus Christ) an accounting is required. We find this parable in Luke 19:11-27, with a similar parable of the talents recorded in Matthew 25:14-30. So to prepare them-and His followers through the ages-for that reality, He began a parable about a nobleman traveling far away "to receive for himself a kingdom and to return." In this story Christ is the nobleman, and the "kingdom" is the Kingdom of God over which He will reign at His return to the earth. Jesus knew it wasn't going to appear at that time. The parable of the minasĪs Jesus approached Jerusalem just days before His death, He sensed the crowds were expecting the imminent appearance of the promised Kingdom of God. And that's where these two crucial parables come in. We have to start each day with that understanding. We are here to prepare for life in the age to come. In these two parables we see the key to understanding what our lives in Christ should be all about. We can see this in two major parables He gave as instruction to us to examine our stewardship of the life we've been given, both physical and spiritual. Thank God we have an opportunity each day to start over, learn a lesson, get back on our feet and try again!īut what does this have to do with the parables of Jesus Christ?Ī lot, actually. We've all heard the saying, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." This saying, though trite and overused, is actually quite true. Life-changing resolutions can begin on any day of the year. One day God will ask each of us this question. ![]() Yet every day is a good suitable time to take stock of life and ask ourselves how we are doing with what we've been given. As I write this article it's the first week of January, the beginning of a new Western calendar year when many people resolve to take an inventory of their life and try to do better with their priorities, planning and possessions over the next year. |
