![]() In between there was the Boom, the Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age named by Fitzgerald. The dominant American historical influences during his lifetime were the First World War (The Great War, in Europe) and the Great Depression of the Thirties. Yet Fitzgerald was a professional writer from 1920 through 1940 connecting him exclusively with the Twenties distorts the shape and significance of his life and career. He is regarded as an exemplary figure for that decade, embodying and expressing its charm, ebullience, waste, genius, dissipation, confidence. Scott Fitzgerald is now automatically identified with the Twenties. ![]() An era is defined by the way people felt about what was happening to them and around them. Bruccoli An era is not just a time span it is a period characterized by major events and the responses to them politically, socially, and culturally. You can’t see much more than the wooden front door but you can imagine Faulkner inside, writing in sunglasses with a hangover.1 Fitzgerald s Eras Social and Political Backgrounds of the 1920s and 1930s by Matthew J. in Santa Monica and a walled villa at 2058 Watsonia Terrace in Whitley Heights, a neighborhood that creeps up the hills behind Hollywood on narrow winding streets decked with bougainvilleas. in Hollywood the Garden of Allah apartments on Sunset Blvd. His temporary addresses included the Highland Hotel at 1921 N. If you take the VIP Tour at Warner Brothers Burbank studio you get to see New York Street where parts of the classic film noir were shot.įaulkner lived like a vagrant during his stints in L.A. It was directed by Howard Hawks and starred Faulkner drinking buddies Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. But he got credit for only a few, including The Big Sleep (1946), based on a Raymond Chandler mystery. He can also be channeled in the ground-floor bar at the Spanish Colonial Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood and downtown at the Gallery Bar in the Millennium Biltmore.įaulkner worked on scores of scripts in Lotusland, including Gunga Din (1939), Mildred Pierce (1945) and The Southerner (1945), directed by Jean Renoir. Most of Faulkner’s old watering holes are gone, except for Musso & Frank Grill, founded in 1919 on Hollywood Boulevard, a necessary stop for aficionados. The 1991 Ethan and Joel Coen film Barton Fink gives an even more lurid picture of Faulkner in Hollywood. ![]() He abhorred the work, drank heavily and had an extra-marital affair with a secretary who co-wrote a tell-all about the liaison, A Loving Gentleman: The Love Story of William Faulkner and Meta Carpenter. Minter and Joseph Blotner, which touch upon the time Faulkner spent in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s grubbing for money as a contract writer for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Twentieth-Century Fox and Warner Brothers. Tracking the author in ever-changing Los Angeles is harder, a project suitable for true devotees and close readers of Faulkner biographies like those by David L. He spent most of his life in Oxford, Mississippi, still the best place for a Faulkner pilgrimage, where visitors tour his home, walk the campus of Ole Miss (which he attended for three semesters), drink Bourbon at his grave and see places that figure in his novels. “Everything in Los Angeles is too large, too loud and usually banal in concept,” said William Faulkner, a part-time Hollywood screenwriter and the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Sound and the Fury, Absalom! Absalom and As I Lay Dying. ![]() However, they aren’t as safe of a choice as the windmill design as the blades are stainless steel and very sharp. The large round watermelon cutter is also a safer alternative to a knife because it’d be unlikely anything is caught below the blades. ![]() This makes the windmill type of watermelon slicer an excellent choice for kids and offers a fun method of getting bite-sized watermelon cubes. Instead, the cutting surfaces of this kitchen tool are the metal base plate and the tapered nylon windmill blades. The windmill category of cutting device featured above is very safe because it doesn’t feature sharp metal blades. Usually, a tool like this is dishwasher safe, but it’s best to check on the product page, as some of them will suggest hand washing only to ensure they last longer. This is great because they will be durable, resistant, and practical. Most specialized watermelon cutting tools are made of stainless steel and plastics like nylon. Several considerations include the type of device, the materials used, the ease of use, and the safety of the cutting method used. There’s more to choosing a watermelon slicer than just picking the one with the most beautiful box. Either way, be mindful of your hand placement and use the tools as intended to reduce the safety risk.īack to menu ↑ Watermelon Slicer Buying Guide However, the windmill slicer is duller and wouldn’t be likely to cut you even if it hit your hands. With the round slicer, the handles will keep both hands occupied, so you must ensure nobody else is in the way. With the tools featured above, one must still try to keep their hands out of the way. Many more cuts are made when using a knife, and keeping your hands out of the way is not easy. The cutting surfaces are often duller, and the method of use is more straightforward, usually requiring only one motion or repetitive motion of the same kind. It is much easier to be safe with a special watermelon slicer than with a knife.

Hamburger told the San Francisco board of supervisors in an update hearing last week that the building remains safe and that installing 18 steel piles to bedrock is the best way to stop the tilting and possibly reverse some of it, KNTV-TV reported. Today, the building’s total tilt at the top is 26in, an increase of 10in since the “so-called fix” of the building began last year, NBC Bay Area reported. An inch of tilt at the foundation of the building translated into an additional 5in lean at the top of the high-rise, NBC Bay Area reported last summer, pushing the building’s total tilt at the time to 22in. ![]() ![]() Work to reinforce the building’s foundation came to a halt last summer, after engineers discovered the building had sunk an additional inch in the months since the attempted repairs had begun. In 2020, a confidential settlement included a $100m scheme for fixing the building, and a plan to compensate homeowners in the building for estimated losses.īut the sink-and-lean of the building has continued through the repair process. In early litigation, some residents argued that apartments that were once assessed at prices as high as $5.1m were now worth almost nothing. The building’s ongoing tilt, which has continued despite a planned $100m fix, has drawn comparisons to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and prompted a lawsuit by residents against the building’s developers and designers and rounds of recrimination between the developers and city officials. But by 2016, the building had sunk 16in (40 cm) into the soft soil and landfill of San Francisco’s dense financial district. Millennium Tower opened to fanfare in 2009 and its more than 400 apartments quickly sold out, for a reported $750m in total. Several Corolla Hybrid owners have been disappointed with the car’s fuel economy in cold weather. If the battery keeps getting drained every few days, the battery itself may be defective and needs to be replaced.Īlthough most 12-volt car batteries typically last 3 to 5 years, there have been instances where new cars get fitted with defective batteries from the factory. You can also hook the car up to a battery tender while it’s parked in your garage to make sure it’s always at full capacity. If you’re not using the car regularly, Toyota recommends turning on the car and putting it into the ‘Ready’ state for around 30 minutes every couple of weeks to charge up the battery. If the car is only driven for 20 to 30 minutes at a time at slower speeds, the battery doesn’t have much time to get fully charged. In addition, as the oil inside the engine gets thicker, the starter needs to work harder to turn over the motor which draws more current from the battery. The Corolla Hybrid’s 12-volt battery is also smaller than the non-hybrid versions so it has less capacity overall.īattery capacity also goes down in cold weather as the chemical reactions inside the battery slow down. Like other modern vehicles, the Corolla Hybrid always has some electronics running in the background even while it’s parked, such as the keyless entry system, which constantly draws some power from the battery. The first time it happened, it was after 2 days of no driving and this time it was after 1 day of no driving.” When I try to turn it on, I get a smart key malfunction error and everything kind of flickers. Since then, the 12V battery has died twice. “I picked up a new 2021 Corolla Hybrid about a month ago. This morning I get in my car, see the flickering overhead lights and dash. ![]() “I’ve had my ‘21 Corolla hybrid for 3 months.

Modifying curriculum may put your child on an alternate diploma or life skills track. If you think that your child needs modifications, you should take your time and research it properly. Despite whatever specific learning disability your child has, they have a right to perform at their maximum level of achievement. Many schools would prefer to reduce expectations instead of presuming competence. Too often, I see schools offering to modify the curriculum instead of adding more needed supports and services. Do you think that with the proper supports and services, that your child CAN learn the same curriculum as their peers? Then I would continue to push for that. Because here’s the thing, and it’s a problem that I see repeatedly. Parents–read this paragraph several times. The student learns the same theme/unit but is provided with different tasks and expectations.It should be the same content and the same quality, it may not be the same quantity. ![]() Modifying a curriculum means changing the core program by using a parallel curriculum that does not include all grade-level standards. ![]() Instead, it creates a learning environment for that specific student. A modification should not alter content knowledge. Program modifications may be used to describe a change in the curriculum or measurement of learning. Examples include a note taker assignment of paraprofessional staff ( or a one-to-one teacher aide or assistant) or study guide outlines of key concepts. Supplementary aids and services means aids, services and other supports to enable students with disabilities to be educated with non-disabled students to the maximum extent appropriate in the least restrictive environment. What are Supplementary Aids and Services on the IEP?įrom IDEA: Supplementary aids and services means aids, services, and other supports that are provided in regular education classes, other education-related settings, and in extracurricular and nonacademic settings, to enable children with disabilities to be educated with non-disabled children to the maximum extent appropriate in accordance with §§300.114 through 300.116. This month, I will have several more blog posts and IEP podcasts coming out explaining the various components of the IEP. Our theatrical and touring experiences have brought unique challenges around the world, like creating live television broadcast content in foreign countries in multiple languages and cultures. We handled the system integration and audio and visual technology that brought you the "Wall of Cars", "Scion Surface Experience", and "Scion Ghost Glass" installations seen around the country, from LA, Chicago, Detroit and New York. In fact, we helped several years in a row, from 2008 to 2013. We consulted with leading brand experience agency, George P Johnson, and legendary human-engagement agency, JUXT, launch one of the most immersive booths the auto show circuit has seen to date. When it came time for the Drone Racing League to go live on ESPN they needed Communications, Content Development and a broadcast eco-system to get their content to their growing community of fans. ![]() This is where our collective experience from large scale events like FIFA World Cup or the Olympics came into play to develop a broadcast infrastructure for 9 studios on four continents. In the early days of esports, both at Blizzard and Riot Games the content development was more sophisticated than typical television and more like what is done for an international sporting event with multiple languages and multiple venues running concurrently. And, that had to include a full orchestra rehearsal! We put our years of concert touring experience with organizational leadership skills and completed the task on time for an audience of 35m people What made this project interesting is that it all had to be done in 52 hours. The show would typically load in, in two days with a day of rehearsal, then a show and load out. In 2013 one of the more challenging feats, we had to contend with was the League of Legends World Finals in Los Angeles. With the advent of covid in 2020 and everyone being stuck at home it did allow us to bring this technology to new audiences allowing human interaction wherever you are and creating more engaging presentations Broadcast and Gaming have used this technology for many years. The PUBG event literally doubled the size of our prior global event and is still one of the largest online events ever.Ĭontrary to public opinion, the metaverse has been around for a long time.

It is easier to remember their email addresses and phone numbers than a new name. Users do not wish to consider another name. By default, try to use their email address or phone number as their username. Do not prompt the user to create a username unless absolutely necessary. Instead of a username, use an email address or a mobile phone number. Read my previous blog to learn about the benefits and drawbacks of using a social login. This feature appeals to users because it eliminates the need to remember another password. Allow Social Login Users can easily login to your website or app using an existing social account, such as Facebook or Twitter, with Social Login. GoDaddy takes a slightly different approach, providing visual differences in button styles, clearly defined headers, and a description of the action. Mint is an example of how to display the two in different ways (refer above screenshot). Differentiate Sign in and Sign up Not everyone can tell the difference between Sign in and Sign up right away. Show input field If login is the most important task on the website, display the login section first, rather than just the sign in or sign up links, as Facebook and Twitter do. When a user arrives on the website, make it clear where they can Register or Login, especially if Login is the primary call to action. ![]() The value proposition is defined by changing messages. LinkedIn is an excellent example of this. Filling out the form's value proposition must be clearly defined. Users are generally unwilling to sign up unless they see value in doing so. The last thing users want to do is sign up. The following are some pointers to assist an Interaction Designer in creating better registration and login forms. It is based on my experience reviewing hundreds of beginner designer login flows as a result of my courses Learn UI Design and Learn UX Design. OK, I don't like long introductions, so here's a list of some of the most important UX tips for creating usable signup and login forms. |
