![]() Their success brought them a record contract with Brunswick Records in 1957. By 1955, the group entered the talent show circuit in their hometown of Atlanta, winning each talent show they entered. The group settled on the name The Pips, inspired by the nickname of their cousin James "Pip" Woods. Soon, the quintet agreed to form a group at the urging of Gladys' mother Elizabeth Knight. That same year, Gladys, her brother Bubba, sister Brenda, and their cousins Eleanor and William Guest began performing together during Bubba's tenth birthday party after a record player malfunctioned. She won Ted Mack's The Original Amateur Hour TV show contest on Jat the age of eight. Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, she sang in the church choir. She has a sister, Brenda, one living brother, Merald "Bubba" Knight, Jr., and one deceased brother, David "Billy" Knight. Knight was born in Atlanta to Merald Woodlow Knight Sr., a postal worker, and Sarah Elizabeth (née Woods). She is also a recipient of the National Medal of Arts and Kennedy Center Honors. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Knight among the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. She also recorded the theme song for the 1989 James Bond film Licence to Kill. Two of her songs (" I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and "Midnight Train to Georgia") were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "historical, artistic and significant" value. She has won seven Grammy Awards (four as a solo artist and three with the Pips) and is an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Vocal Group Hall of Fame along with The Pips. Knight has recorded two number-one Billboard Hot 100 singles (" Midnight Train to Georgia" and " That's What Friends Are For" which she did with Dionne Warwick, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder), eleven number-one R&B singles and six number-one R&B albums. A seven-time Grammy Award-winner, Knight recorded hits through the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with her family group Gladys Knight & the Pips, which included her brother Merald "Bubba" Knight and cousins William Guest and Edward Patten. ![]() Gladys Maria Knight (born May 28, 1944), known as the "Empress of Soul", is an American singer, songwriter, actress and businesswoman. ![]()

These were:īeing in Phoenix, we get a lot of first-time visitors, mostly tourists and snowbirds, as well as locals who visit a few times a year. Q: So you knew you wanted to frame the sprint around this notion of why a visitor is at the museum, but did you have a product in mind going into it?Ī: Well, we didn’t have a very robust digital infrastructure here, so we knew we wanted to create something analog, something printed that people could walk away with. We went into the sprint with some criteria for what we wanted to create: it should be informal, and concise, and respond to the notion of “I’m here.”Īnd when we brainstormed during our sprint, three main ideas came to us. The thought was that everyone would be a part of this, and we would finish the first iteration that day. We assembled a group of seven of us in the education division and put everything else aside. We felt it was critical to get out of the office, away from (office) dynamics. We ran the sprint off-site, at my (former) boss’s house. Running a sprint was a way to bring more voices to the table, and move quickly through a single project in one day. Museums are glaciers-they move really slowly. Q: Why did you chose to run a design sprint?Ī: The education director at the time was very interested in iteration and trying new approaches quickly. The why around a museum visit is really meaty. And that phrase stuck with us: “I am here.” The answer is that they want everyone to know why they are here. We were aiming to demystify what it means to go to a museum, so we asked ourselves, “Why do people come to museums? Why are they posting selfies and sharing the experience socially?” Our goal was to explore ways we could interact with visitors in a more informal way.

When he sets out to investigate the Entertainment District, Tengen tries to recruit Aoi Kanzaki despite her being obviously terrified at the prospect of heading into the field, and he only changes his mind when Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke demand to take her place. That said, he does have generally good intentions, even if his methods tend to be rather aggressive. Tengen's personality is a bit all over the place, courtesy of his harsh childhood and his attempts to move away from his father's teachings. Tricked by his parent into killing a few of his siblings, Tengen eventually left the nest to try and carve out a path for himself. Born into a ninja clan and trained by his cruel father, Tengen was thought to only ever seek self-fulfillment, regardless of the cost to anyone else.

However, when accessing the Service Menu the button to change aspect ratio acts as a down button to navigate the menu. It's a simple press of a button to change it to native 4:3. It defines its overall shape, and it is usually presented as W:H (where W is the width, and H is the height). Whenever I turn the TV on it always turns on in 16:9 wide-screen.

Try, Waits’ dark-as-a-dungeon reappraisal of the 1938 Disney ditty Heigh Ho (The Dwarfs Marching Song) on Stay Awake and regurgitated on Orphans as evidence. The best part of the deal is that his songs and, heigh ho-ho, extraordinary renditions are like nobody else’s. See? That’s how reading about Waits tinkers with a writer chap’s keying fingers. Like picking out just the red ones from a jar of M&Ms or Smarties while blindfold and allowed to use only your sense of taste. And did I mention meretriciousness? Humphries has wisely not set himself the task of unpicking verity from verisimilitude. Try, “I’ve always maintained that reality is for people who can’t face drugs.” (Did he filch the quip? Much like the lobotomy preference option one, does it matter? Allow Waits a few populist tendencies too.) He also protects his privacy, keeps his wife and partner-in-song Kathleen (née Brennan) and their family pretty well hid. His snappy one-liners are notable for their fragrance of insect repellent. And, though everybody lies, Waits lies splendidly. Waits sends reports, sometimes Californian Chinese whispers, back from the Old Weird America. With Waits, you don’t get, in Humphries’ turn of phrase, “the open-heart surgery of Joni Mitchell or James Taylor”. Waits is no Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne or James Taylor. Like Waits, The Many Lives of Tom Waits does, however, allow Humphries to don the Chandleresque cap (alliteration wins out over fedora) when telling the tale. Waits doesn’t peddle autobiographical or confessional stories-in-song in an L.A. And every writer who writes about Nick Drake and Richard Thompson – and now Tom Waits – will ever have occasion to acknowledge – or avoid acknowledging – Humphries’ groundbreaking achievements. The expression is the title of one of the American mandolinist David Grisman’s finest, early breakthrough compositions. His Nick Drake (1997) and Richard Thompson: Strange Affair (1996) are true E.M.D. Amongst his string of fine books, two are seminal – as in standard works. The London-based writer, Patrick Humphries is an old hand too, an established music writer whose subjects include Dylan, Hitchcock, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen. Improbably, though in a nice way, The Many Lives of Tom Waits is his first major biography of the man. That applies to his music and to his secondary career as a fellow who pops up in such films as The Two Jakes, The Fisher King and Bearskin: An Urban Fairytale. Or similarly responding to that plaintively lonely Russian lass or that Nigerian pet-lover-in-distress. Buying into that singer-songwriter job description might be likened to buying eau de cologne or Viagra on the strength of a spam message. Suckers! To call Waits a singer-songwriter would be like damning him with faint praise. He has regaled us with many mythologies, mostly hand-woven and threadbare enough for the unwary dupe to be taken in and buy him that figurative drink out of pity. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.In a hoary old quote that pops up in Patrick Humphries’ The Many Lives of Tom Waits, Waits, that lovable whey-faced geezer in black with a pork-pie hat, quips, “Marcel Marceau gets more airplay than I do!” Things may have improved marginally in the meantime – Marceau dying in 2007 will have given Waits a chance to cut in – but Waits has proved tenacious when it comes to avoiding anything so vulgar as a whiffette of becoming a popular singing star.You are as handy as a pocket on a shirt!

(according to the fossil record) or 66 m.y.a. While psittaciform parrots (true parrots) and cockatoos have many common anatomical attributes such as zygodactyl feet and hooked bills, the cockatoos and true parrots diverged from the ancestral parrots as separate lineages as early as 45 m.y.a. The term "white cockatoo" has also been applied as a group term to members of the subgenus Cacatua, the genus Cacatua as well as larger groups including Major Mitchell's cockatoo and the galah cockatoo. It lies in the subgenus Cacatua within the genus Cacatua. Its species name alba is a feminine form of the Latin adjective albus for "white". The white cockatoo was first described in 1776 by German zoologist Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller. The white cockatoo is known as ayab (plural form: ayot) in the Burmeso language of Papua, Indonesia. It is similar to other species of white cockatoo such as yellow-crested cockatoo, sulphur-crested cockatoo, and salmon-crested cockatoo, all of which have yellow, orange or pink crest feathers instead of white. ![]() The wings and tail have a pale yellow or lemon color which is exposed when they fly. When surprised, it extends a large and striking head crest, which has a semicircular shape (similar to an umbrella, hence the alternative name).

Īt these crossroads, irritants (bacteria and their by-products) may attempt to cross and interact with the other anatomic entity involving it in the pathologic process. These may be present at any height of the root, from the apex to the cemento emamel unction (CEJ) as well as the furcation areas in multi-rooted teeth. Anatomically, the only sites at which the vital pulp can be in contact with the PDL are the apical foramen, or foramina, as well as the outlets of the lateral canals. Under these conditions, no interaction is to be expected between the healthy pulp and the surrounding PDL. These two entities are normally separated by dentin, covered by layers of practically impermeable cementum. The periodontal ligament and the root canal system have close developmental and anatomic relationship so that pathologic processes arising in one may affect the other. Periodontal lesion, Endo-Perio Lesions, root canals, endodontic lesion Introduction An electronic PubMed bibliographical index search was carried out using the preliminary key words followed by article selection according to relevance and importance to the topic. This review is based on the English language literature regarding endo-perio lesions. This literature review summarizes most of our knowledge regarding the anatomical aspect of the perio-endo lesion.

The accessibility movement that modern gaming is most familiar with – detailed menus and accessible design by default – earnestly began within the past five years. Without an extensive suite of features or inclusive design choices, she’s never felt comfortable trying other games. Unfortunately, Jones’ experience with previous Bethesda Game Studios’ titles is limited, and it’s directly related to their overall lack of accessibility. ![]() “I find that that often happens with features like flying in a space game, or using a jet pack, where you must use both thumbsticks and multiple shoulder buttons at the same time, which is just so, so tricky for me to do.” “I’m specifically concerned with Starfield about having to press multiple buttons at the same time,” Jones said. And as an avid fan of sci-fi games, she’s worried these designs will be integral to Starfield. While she needs common physical accessibility settings like toggles for specific actions, removing quick time events, and full controller support, design choices like twin stick movement and simultaneous button presses are detrimental to her needs. ” Spondyloarthritis, a condition which causes inflammation in the spine, impacts Jones’ ability to grip controllers. For her ADHD, Jones requires explicit “quest markers,” as well as the capability to replay scenes and remove timed decisions to “register and think about.

In that instance, disabled players feared they wouldn't be able to play, and they were ultimately correct. Currently, Starfield's decision to not share any information most closely mirrors Nintendo with Tears of the Kingdom. Other developers of major blockbuster games have started sharing such information early, too, like Sony Santa Monica Studio revealing accessibility settings for God of War Ragnarök and Ubisoft sharing some of the accessibility settings in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown shortly after its Summer Game Fest demonstration. Recently, they shared a post exploring Disability Pride Month, and for the past two years in October, they've hosted an accessibility showcase with game and studio information. The lack of communication is especially notable given Xbox’s strong recent history of promoting and celebrating accessibility and the disabled community. In contrast, the only accessibility information given for Starfield with just two months to its launch was during Todd Howard’s interview on Kinda Funny’s Xcast, where he confirmed a “Large Font Mode” will be available. I’m so excited for this game, but am I allowed to be excited because what if I can’t play it?”īethesda Game Studios’ parent company, Xbox, notably held a press tour for extensive accessibility options for the newest Forza Motorsport six months before its planned release date. “It’s the not knowing if I can play and desperately wanting to be excited about this game, which thematically and visually is everything I look for. “My main hope is that accessibility options are communicated as soon as possible – like yesterday,” Jones said. While it’s exciting to see new footage, Jones notes there is a layer of uncertainty behind each demonstration. For a game as expansive as Starfield, disabled individuals like Jones need to know of available options and designs that will either help or hinder their gameplay. Starfield’s SilenceĪs a disabled content creator and consultant, Jones understands the importance of giving disabled players as much information as possible before a title launches. Speaking with IGN, disabled players question the overall silence regarding Starfield’s accessibility information, the accessibility of previous Bethesda Game Studios titles, and their hopes for Starfield pre-and post-release. And in both instances, the accessibility community took notice. While we learned about mechanics like combat, space traversal, and even sandwich storage, noticeably missing from each presentation was any word on accessibility features or design practices. Last year, Bethesda unveiled an official gameplay look at Starfield, and during this year’s Summer Game Fest, Xbox hosted an hour-long Starfield Direct with new footage and developer commentary. ![]() |
