Mind maps aren’t just exclusively useful for just businesses though. Mind mapping software can also be used alongside flowchart software to make workflows and process flows more efficient. Mind mapping is particularly important in project management to understand the strategy behind a project, streamline processes and delegate tasks to the right teams. You’re also much less likely to lose mind maps created on your Mac than on a piece of paper or a white board. Mind maps are an excellent way to present ideas and information in meetings and presentationsĭigital mind map makers make the process much easier than using a pen and paper or because they are far more flexible when it comes to making changes, edits, enriching and sharing mind maps.Mind maps help to clarify thinking on topics.Improve the ability to remember key information.Use time more efficiently by focusing on the most important tasks or issues.Mind maps help you to see the bigger picture. Mind maps are effective for a variety of reasons but some of the most important are: Mind maps can bring out creative thinking in a way that a lot of business planning or brainstorming can’t. Mind mapping is incredibly effective because it uses both sides of the brain at once – the left hand side for logic and structure and the right hand side for creative or “out-of-the-box” thinking.

Gringoire’s Theme serves as the identity of the poet and husband of Esmeralda. He speaks outwardly to his grotesque appearance and deformity with comic woodwinds synced to his abnormal gait, yet within the notes we discern a pathos of alienation and loneliness. Quasimodo’s Theme is astutely constructed by Newman and perfectly conceived. The theme is malleable, becoming lustful and transformed into a Love Theme when she assumes the role of seductress. Her lush string melody is at once vibrant, ethnic and yet also full of passion. This sacred writing offered a profound juxtaposition to the evil actions and cruelty of the villain Frollo.įor his soundscape Newman would provide five primary themes including Esmeralda’s Theme, which serves as her identity and the sole feminine construct of the score. To glorify the sacred, Newman used angelic, ethereal choir with stirring effect, as well as interpolating the 16th century hymn “Ave Maria” by Tomas Luis de Victoria. Additionally, his soundscape would need to speak to both the sacred and profane, supporting the crowded and bustling streets of Paris, the imposing magnificence of the Notre Dame cathedral and the haunting, loneliness of the bell towers. He understood that at its core this was a film of unrequited love for the pathetic and deformed Quasimodo. He gladly accepted the assignment as the film provided a grand tapestry on which to compose. However, despite favorable reviews it was only nominated for two Academy Awards, for Best Sound and Best Film Score.Īlfred Newman had firmly established himself in the 1930s as a tier one composer with five Academy Award nominations and one win. In the end Esmeralda departs with her husband and Quasimodo is again left alone and unloved in the bell tower where he asks a gargoyle statue “Why was I not made of stone, like thee?” The film was a commercial success, earning $3.16 million for a handsome profit of $1.33 million. He then comes to Esmeralda’s rescue, defeating Frollo’s effort to murder her in the bell tower, by tossing him from the bell tower. She is however saved from the gallows by her husband Gringoire, who convinces the King of her innocence, and Quasimodo, who heroically fights off Clopin’s assault on Notre Dame. Later Phoebus is stabbed to death and Esmeralda is falsely accused of the crime and sentenced to death. Esmeralda comes upon him after the flogging and out of pity gives him water to drink, which elicits love in him. Frollo does not come to Quasimodo’s defense, and he is sentenced to be cruelly flogged. Frollo sends Quasimodo, the deformed bellringer of Notre Dame Cathedral, to capture the girl, which he does, only to himself be arrested by Phoebus, Captain of the King’s guards. The story centers on the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda who is pursued by the corrupt Chief Justice Frollo. The film takes place in France during the reign of King Louis XI circa 1461. William Dieterle was given the reigns to direct the film, which would again be adapted from Victor Hugo’s famous 1831 novel Sonya Levien and Bruno Frank provided the screenplay and a fine cast was assembled, which included Charles Laughton as Quasimodo, Sir Cedric Hardwicke as Jehan Frollo, Thomas Mitchell as Clopin, Maureen O’Hara in her screen debut as Esmeralda, Edmund O’Brien as Pierre Gringoire, Walter Hampden as Archbishop Claude Frollo, and Harry Davenport as King Louis XI of France. Pedro Berman was hired to produce the film and provided a massive budget of $1.8 million. RKO was committed to the project and built a massive recreation of Paris and the cathedral on their ranch in the San Fernando Valley outside Los Angeles. A favorable fan poll in 1936 added impetus to the endeavor, but the studio was never able to assemble the lead actors to launch the project and so sold the film rights to MGM, which in turn sold them to RKO. The dawning of the new age of film with dialogue and music had arrived and Universal Studio executives decided to explore a remake of their 1923 production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Jennifer contributes to all undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Jewellery and Silversmithing. Across all year groups she aims to support a cross-disciplinary, student-centred learning experience whilst maintaining a proficient, practical understanding of the making processes and materials at the core of the Jewellery and Silversmithing discipline. Jennifer is a graduate of The Glasgow School of Art and Royal College of Art in London. Her work is quite often informed by research into historical sources, which is undertaken alone or in partnership with museums, national organisations, historians or Archaeologists. Off-shoot ideas, themes or techniques from these projects are adapted into bespoke one-off pieces or commercial small-scale production ranges of products. She sells and exhibits her work nationally and internationally in museums, design shops/festivals and art fairs. She works with commercial as well as private clients and regularly collaborates with Artists, Designers, Historians on practice-led research projects. Jennifer designs and makes jewellery and homeware in a range of materials. She aspires to produce work that can leave anyone viewing it uncertain as to how it was made and hopes to demonstrate that new technological approaches can blend quite naturally into a piece of work as a means of enhancing tradition rather than replacing it completely. The work Jennifer produces would not be possible without her experience of both traditional and current digital methods. Jennifer is an award-winning multi-disciplinary designer maker, researcher and educator. She uses a diverse range of materials in her works and as part of her teaching. Her original training focussed on jewellery, silversmithing and general metal work and these disciplines still remain at the core of what she teaches and her own practice. Jennifer has applied the skills established through a foundation in jewellery and silversmithing in various capacities elsewhere in the design sector.Īlthough the objects she makes and the materials she uses may vary with each piece, each series is underpinned by her use of both traditional methods and digital technologies developed on Jewellery and Silversmithing programmes.
So, rather than duke it out, he tells a fib that serves to bring Joo-kyung and Soo-ho back together for good. He also knows that once Soo-ho is back (and so is their adorable bromance!) that he has no chance at all. He’s being swoony towards Joo-kyung, but he can tell as well as we can that she has no romantic feelings for him. Indeed, Seo-joon really outdoes himself here. It’s the second leadiest of moves, and I’ll never get tired of the “just three dates” concept, and the self-sacrificing sweetness of our textbook second leads. She’s also a little confused, because this re-meeting is exactly at the same time that Seo-joon finally works up the nerve to confess to Joo-kyung. The two have a fateful first snow meeting at Namsan Tower, but Joo-kyung nurses her broken heart and tries to avoid Soo-ho for a bit. Why is he looking for her now? Why was it okay to leave her for two years, but now that he’s back, it’s okay to find her again? I don’t know. Soo-hoo pulls radio silence for about two years, and when he finally turns back up in Seoul (looking more mature and also hotter, I might add), he’s got a one-track mind: Where is Joo-kyung. It makes no sense why they can’t have a long-distance relationship for a little bit instead.īut logic be damned. This couple is, and has been, adorable and committed. I’m not against all expressions of noble idiocy, but this instance was not well-received by yours truly. Seo-joon is a fixture in the house, sleeps over, is comfortable with the family… and he’s still very much in love with Joo-kyung.Īfter our two-year time jump, Joo-kyung is single, and here’s why: Soo-ho was delayed in the States due to his father’s grave illness, and he decides it’s better for them to have a painful and nonsensical break-up rather than have her “wait for him.” They’re not dating, but they’re very close. The cliffhanger last week made it look like Seo-joon and Joo-kyung were dating (or, it did to me). Instead, we take a final turn with our characters, our love triangle, and see where they land as young adults. I would have rather kept the future in the future, and enjoyed a good wrap-up. The bright side, though? More Seo-joon.īut is that enough to make it worthwhile? For me, it wasn’t. The downside of these final two episodes is: a two-year jump, an incomprehensible breakup between Joo-kyung and Soo-ho, and major heartache for Seo-joon. This begs the question, why not end the series around Episode 13/14, with a nice solid and satisfying landing? We might never understand the true reasoning, but the drama’s final week seems purely for the sake of filling space, alluding to source material for fans, and - oh yeah - giving us the full-fledged second lead agony we didn’t get to experience at maximum force during the previous fourteen episodes. So, let’s briefly talk about why these episodes were disappointing - but without letting it detract from the drama, since overall it really was fun and sweet.Īs mentioned above, the main storyline was wrapped up last week, and quite well. But, since the real substance of our story was beautifully concluded last week, our final episdoes wind up feeling more like filler than actual wrap-up.Īll in all, I really enjoyed True Beauty, so I don’t want to let my annoyance over the two final episodes take away from that. In its final week, True Beauty throws us a few curveballs along the lines of noble idiocy, fan service, and some manufactured drama. 44 FebruFebruTrue Beauty: Episodes 15-16 Open Thread (Final) by missvictrix
You can now turn on Beta Updates (if they weren’t already on).You should see two options: Automatic Updates and Beta Updates.(System Settings > General > Software Updates.) If you are running macOS Ventura 13.4 or later: We recommend that you do not run Sonoma on your primary Mac ideally, you run it in a separate volume.We also strongly recommend that you back up your Mac before you upgrade to the Sonoma beta. We strongly advise that if you aren’t a developer you don’t download the developer beta.Now the Public Beta becomes available it will also show up on your Mac in macOS Ventura 13.4, as long as you have signed up for the Public Beta program on Apple’s beta webpage, signed the NDA, and enrolled your Mac. Because of this developers may get to test new features not available in the public beta. The most significant difference is probably the motive of the testers: Developers usually have the aim of ensuring their apps work when the updated macOS is released to the general public, while public beta testers are essentially helping Apple detect bugs and offering feedback on the features. But you should keep in mind that betas are by nature not stable, and because the public beta comes after the developer beta it could be a little safer to install. The public beta is not the same as the beta that is released through the developer program.ĭevelopers get updates to their beta first, and possibly more frequently. There are a few differences between the public and developer betas. Instead, our recommendation was to wait for the public beta, which is here now. We don’t recommend you install the developer beta if you aren’t a developer. Whether you should download the developer beta if you aren’t a developer is another question. So that's a perk, but you are reading different characters, and although I'm not necessarily doing voices per se, I'm just sort of changing the intonation in my voice. KM: What was interesting about this, you don't have to memorize anything, obviously. So did preparing to narrate have any similarities or differences from you, let's say, preparing for a movie or a TV role? I know given the pandemic circumstances are very different. KM: I mean, I don't know how you get any better than Tom Hanks. Is there any audiobook that stands out to you or any particular narrator that you love? So you mentioned that you're a fan of audiobooks. I thought, "Oh God, how am I going to sneak away from my husband and the children to do this job? How many hours am I going to be gone?" But it was very quick because of the amount of pages it was. Also we don't-as I'm sure most people don't-have any help right now. KM: I did feel grateful for that as well, because it was my first time. You didn’t start recording a 16-hour book. The total recording runs about two hours and minutes, so at least you started with something short. It's just about imagination and getting lost in the story, and that's easy when the story is so good. They sent me the microphone and the equipment to set up and we did it all over FaceTime and it was really simple. I think it was a few hours and it was such an easy, enjoyable experience. You have a few breaks to rest your voice and get some water and all of that, but it really is like you're telling a story to some friends. And I have to say, it was so easy and I didn't know that you really do just read it all through. KM: That was the other thing, because I've never done this before, I didn't know how long it would take and what the experience was going to be like. I've got a couple of kids, so I thought, "I don't know how I'm ever going to do this from home with two kids in the house, a six-year-old and a one-year-old." So for a while there, I thought I would be doing it in my car somehow, but my mom told me to go and use her basement and it would be quiet there, so it was actually really amazing to get in the car, drive down the street, and pretend like that was my office for the day and get lost in the book. My mom has a house right down the street from us and she's not in it right now she is somewhere else. KM: I felt very lucky to be able to do this from the safety of home. MH: Usually our narrators would record in a studio, but given the pandemic you had to record at home. So it's a very special thing for me to be doing it. When we would be in a car on a road trip or even just going to school, she was always listening to some sort of book on tape. I remember them actually being cassettes. I'm a really big fan of Audible and ever since I was a little girl my mom has always listened to books on tape. KM: It is the first, so it was very exciting for me. MH: So correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the first audiobook that you've ever narrated? Kate Mara: Thank you so much for having me. Kate, thank you so much for joining us today. The Getaway is a short, spine-tingling thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Kate is lending her voice to narrate an Audible Original from powerhouse writing duo Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Margaret Hargrove: I'm Audible Editor Margaret Hargrove and I'm thrilled to be talking to actress Kate Mara today. Note: Text has been edited and may not match audio exactly. IPIRP allows you to reduce your points by taking courses online. If you've accumulated points in New York, luckily the state runs a program called the Internet Point and Insurance Reduction Program (IPIRP). New York State Traffic Schools – What Can They Do For You? That's right, tickets you get in Canada will also sting you in New York. New York felt so strongly about this program's benefits that it teamed up with another country to enforce them. Why does New York say they have this added fee? The NYS DMV says, "The purpose of the assessment is to prevent the repeated behavior of problem drivers and to improve traffic safety." Call us crazy, but we thought the fine, and the court fees, and the insurance surcharges, and the points system were all about that. Failing to do so will result in your license being suspended. (Why not 18 months? Again, we have no idea). And it is to be paid each year, for the three years following your infraction. The sting tax is generally $100, but it can be higher. (Well, not that short.) Let's call it the sting tax. In addition to the revenue that New York and its fine residents will enjoy from your citation itself, there is another fee called the New York State Driver Responsibility Assessment Fee, or NYSDRA for short. New York State Driver Responsibility Assessment Fee Your license will be gone in a flash – unless you complete an approved traffic school. That total is not just 11, it is 12 points in one day. Heck, we have witnessed it happen on many occasions during our daily commute. This is a perfect storm of citations that is easy to envision. Your full points total if convicted on all violations in traffic court will be 4 points for speeding, plus 3 for failing to yield the right of way, plus 5 for the use of a portable electronic device. An officer sitting in a new Ford Interceptor Utility behind a tree in the center of the rotary sees this and pulls you over. Say a car moving at about 14 miles per hour driven by a person in welding goggles with their mouth open. As you enter, you merge ahead of another vehicle already in the rotary. You just so happen to be looking at your phone because – well, there is really no good reason, but a lot of folks do it. Our favorite combination of the infractions that we can realistically imagine is this You are traveling 11 miles per hour over the speed limit entering a rotary, say 36 in a 25 zone. That is amazing customer service!Ĭar Talk reviewed the chart that New York State provides to help you understand the rules of the game. To give you even more of a head start on the points program, New York is kind enough to include points on your New York license for infractions you commit outside of New York. New York State realizes you may need some time and opportunity to build up enough points to get to the full suspension total of 11, so it gives you a very reasonable 18 months. For fans of Spinal Tap, "This one goes to eleven." Coincidentally, 11 points are the number that you need to lose your license. If you break the land speed record you get the full whammy – 11 points. 31 to 40 MPH over the limit you get 8 points. For example, if you are cited for driving 1 to 10 MPH over the posted speed limit, you are assessed 3 points. The union has been bargaining with the district for months for a new contract after its previous one expired in June.The New York State points system applies a varying number of points to your tally depending upon just what type of infraction you have committed ranging from rolling through a stop sign to jumping the General Lee across the Hudson. The Portland Association of Teachers, which represents more than 4,000 educators, said it was the first teachers strike in the school district. One school board member’s rental property was vandalized and another had posters taped to his car, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.Įven celebrities, including several actors who portray beleaguered and underfunded teachers on ABC’s hit comedy show “Abbott Elementary,” posted videos of support on the teachers union’s Facebook. Tensions escalated as talks continued during the Thanksgiving break, with teachers marching on Tuesday across a major bridge and stopping rush-hour traffic for about 15 minutes. There was no online instruction during the strike. Many parents were supportive of the striking teachers, but as the school closures dragged on, some raised concerns about learning loss among students, especially after the long school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students last attended school on Halloween. |
