![]() ![]() In their directing debut, the Wachowskis made all the right decisions. And Pantoliano is perfectly cast as Violet’s boyfriend not movie-star handsome, he’s menacing and unhinged enough to be a believable threat to his underworld enemies but charming enough to hold our interest and not be overshadowed by his co-stars. Gershon had appeared the previous year in the already-infamous Showgirls, but her cocksure performance helped her emerge from that campy dumpster fire with her acting cred intact. Tilly had been Oscar-nominated two years earlier for her supporting role in Woody Allen’s Bullets Over Broadway (1994), and although her kittenish voice would soon be more closely associated with the titular puppet in Bride of Chucky and Bonnie on Family Guy, the Wachowskis had her dial down her idiosyncratic sound to a dramatic, sleepwalky whisper. It gives Bound a grounding for the actors, directors, and cinematographer to go to extraordinary places.īound was the right combination of creatives at the right time. It’s a familiar crime film framework , but that familiarity is what makes every unexpected twist so delicious. Within days of meeting in the elevator, Violet and Corky start up a steamy affair and are soon hatching a plan to disappear with the $2 million that Violet’s violent boyfriend, Caesar (Joe Pantoliano), has locked in his office to deliver to his boss. The 1996 noir, which just began streaming on Hulu, remains as fresh and edgy as ever.Īt Bound’s center are two women: Violet (Jennifer Tilly), who lives in the Chicago penthouse of her mafioso boyfriend, and Corky (Gina Gershon), a magnetically swaggery ex-con who’s been hired by the building manager to paint and repair the vacant unit next door. I was nervous about how Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s debut would hold up 25 years after it was first released, but as it turns out I didn’t need to worry. Fast forward to 2021-would Bound live up to my memory and expectations? Given the dearth of queer representation, we convinced ourselves that we loved everything we saw no matter what, down to the neutered gay characters serving up puns on Will & Grace. Back then, my college friends and I were so desperate for LGBTQ content that we’d hold house parties to watch pirated VHS tapes of the original ten-episode British series Queer As Folk, converted from imported PAL-format tapes by a friend of a friend in our school’s AV department. The audience was rapt, cowering in their seats or nervously laughing in all the right places. I first saw Bound in 2000 at a special screening at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, four years after its initial release. Please welcome guest contributor Brent Calderwood. ![]()

![]() The longest session I had in the Pegasus 39 was around 10k, but for that distance, the shoes were perfect. I ran at a variety of different paces, and at no point did I feel the shoes were not supporting my stride. Maybe it's the extra Air Zoom unit or the extra React foam, but the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 feels springy and even nimble on occasions. Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 review: Running performanceĪfter testing a bunch of heavy daily trainers, such as the On Cloudmoster and the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 24, I was surprised by how light the Pegasus 39 felt when I went for my first run in them. There are plenty of air holes in the toe box area, and the upper on the medial and lateral sides is practically see-through the air moves in and out beautifully. In reality, the engineered mesh upper is well-ventilated. The collar can be opened up easily, and the foot slides right in no effort required! There isn't a pull tab, but the heel runs relatively high, making it easier to grab and pull the shoes.Īt first glance, I thought the Pegasus 39 would be too warm to wear – it looked warm, at least to me. ![]() Step-in comfort is of utmost importance for daily trainers, and the Pegasus 39 excels here too. I liked the Pegasus 37 despite its tight toebox and felt that the extra room offered by the Pegasus 38 was a bit much the fit of the Pegasus 39 is perfect, not least because of the inclusion of the Flywire. Speaking of Flywire: the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 is super comfortable. (Image credit: Matt Kollat/T3) Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 review: Fit Flywire is also supposed to reduce pressure on the foot which often causes discomfort, especially on longer runs. These are filaments running connecting different parts of the upper and offering a more secure lockdown than even engineered mesh uppers. The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 also features the Flywire technology. The Air Zoom units, when placed correctly, offer great energy returns and reduce weight – after all, the units are filled with air which is lighter than any foam Nike might dream up. So, unlike the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%, the foam of the Pegasus 39 will feel the same after 200 or so miles.Īs for the Air Zoom units, the Pegasus 39 now has two, doubling the amount its predecessor offered. The former is a resilient foam – Nike's most resilient foam, in fact – that's built to carry you over long miles and designed to retain its good properties over long periods of time. There are two notable technologies involved with the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39: React and Air Zoom. Tongue is separated from the upper to give room for different foot shapes.(Image credit: Matt Kollat/T3) Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 review: Tech.Rubber outsole provides traction while flex grooves throughout give you extra flexibility and a smooth feel on toe-off. Nike designed the heel to optimize your landing, helping you easily transition from heel to toe. The result is a smooth transition from heel to toe. Nike paired it with 2 Zoom Air units, at the forefoot and heel, for an energized feel at toe-off. Nike React technology is a lightweight, durable foam that delivers a smooth, responsive ride. Flywire technology is integrated with a midfoot band for total support that helps keep your foot in place. The result is a shoe that's lightweight with breathable durability. ![]() Plus, Nike tested runners like you to find where cooling was needed most and placed engineered mesh-stronger and more flexible than regular mesh-throughout the upper using that data. ![]() Extra padding at the tongue and collar helps keep your foot feeling comfortable.

The worldwide craze over the Ninja Turtles was still a major contributor to the explosion in slider exports. And in Taiwan, red-eared sliders were used for Buddhist ceremonial purposes. There were also significant exports to China as food and for use in medicines, as well as for pets. government shut down the sales of hatchlings in 1975, many turtle farms went out of business, but some began exporting more, as the law didn’t restrict that. Prior to 1989, about 3.5 million turtles were exported annually, but from 1989 to 1997, the yearly exports jumped up 257 percent, to almost 9 million. Because red-eared sliders are plentiful and easy to breed, farms in the United States - particularly in Louisiana - began selling millions more of the terrapins overseas. The craze spread well beyond the United States. Playmates then helped get a cartoon developed and the rest, as they say, is history.įrom the York Daily Record. Designed as a parody of Daredevil, the Ninja Turtles were an independent comic that caught the attention of a marketing genius named Mark Freedman who brought the Turtles to a toy company called Playmates. “Since the movie came out, every kid on the block wants a turtle.”Įnter Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird who, in 1984, created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While turtles of all ages can have salmonella, tiny, dime-sized turtle hatchlings were being sold en masse and there was a fear that children would put them in their mouths and get sick ( some children have even died from turtle-related salmonella poisoning).Īfter 1975, the diminished turtle pet trade remained pretty unremarkable and likely would have stayed that way - had the pop culture gods not intervened a decade later. In 1975, the turtles-as-pets trend saw a steep decline after the sale of red-eared sliders smaller than four inches was banned in the United States due to salmonella. “They began to come to the UK with the goldfish market after the war,” Eversfield tells Inverse. According to Paul Eversfield, a turtle hobbyist in the UK who is involved with an ecological project known as the Turtle Tally, this was part of a bigger trend in pets at the time. During the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, the dumping of pet turtles around the world got so bad it resulted in millions of homeless turtles and changed turtle ecology all over the planet.Īfter growing in popularity in America, red-eared sliders started to be sold overseas. ![]() The turtle-dumping problem was never more pronounced than during the height of popularity for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the animated TV series. But turtles are often bought as a cheap impulse purchase for a child and, in short order, the kid grows bored with the pet and dumps it in a local pond. I have a pet turtle myself - he’s 14 and his name is Grover - and I’m totally okay with our very one-sided relationship. For all of these reasons, turtles can make for rather costly, unexciting pets that require a long-term commitment.įor some pet owners, this may be fine. They also live a long time - like, 30 years - and they grow to about the size of a dinner plate. Real turtles kind of just sit there, swim around a little, and eat.

Roblox is a huge platform featuring thousands of games and avatar models. ![]() ![]() A sound wave consists of segments of compression and rarefaction. It proves that when two ears receive a sound stimulus, the resultant loudness sensation is greater than that occurring with just one ear. It is common experience that if one is made to block one ear with an ear plug, the loudness of sound coming from a television in front immediately goes down which is restored as the ear is unplugged. It is, thus, another measurable dimension associated with binaural hearing. This is called binaural loudness summation. The number doubles when the two ears are used instead of one ear for a sound coming from the front of the listener. Each ear contributes substantially to the action potentials that reach the brainstem. Ii) Binaural summation of loudness: Loudness of a sound depends on the number of action potentials triggered by it. The dual brainstem pathways provide anatomical and physiological correlates of the Duplex theory. ITDs are extracted by MSO neurons in which ITD sensitivity results from the coincident arrival of excitatory inputs from the two ears ILDs are extracted by LSO neurons via a subtraction-like process resulting from inhibitory inputs from the contralateral and excitatory inputs from the ipsilateral ear. Anatomical and physiological studies have revealed two parallel brainstem pathways that appear to encode ITDs and ILDs separately. ITD is a major factor in localizing lower frequency sounds of 5KHz). A trained ear can detect a time difference as slight as 30 microsec. The maximum time lag for sound generated at one side of the head is around 0.6 millisec. These changes are analyzed by lower and higher auditory processing system. This change could be (a) Inter-aural Time Difference (ITD), (b) Inter-aural Loudness Difference (ILD), (c) Inter-aural Frequency Difference (IFD) and (d) Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF). If there is slightest change in any of these characteristics, the hearing mechanism detects it and reacts to this change on a new bit of information to be analyzed in binaural hearing. Similarly, sounds with equal frequency, intensity and time, originating directly at the back of an individual with normal hearing, may also be literally indistinguishable from one another. Thus, two sounds with equal frequency and intensity, originating directly in front of an individual with normal hearing, which arrive at the ears at the same time may be literally indistinguishable from one another. PhysiologyĪ sound stimulus is distinguished from another by its characteristics of frequency, intensity and time. This article aims to help in understanding how the auditory spatial cues arising from individual outer and inner ears are computed and processed at specialized subcortical centres and lead to binaural hearing. Spatial hearing provides cues as to the relative number and location of sound sources and objects in the environment, helps in determining the dimension and characteristics of rooms and enclosed spaces, and contributes to the “cocktail party effect”, whereby the listeners are able to hear out against other interfering voices in crowded listening environments. One of the key factors that empowers him with his communication skill is spatial hearing. Among the mammals, human is considered to be the one gifted with most developed communication skill. It allows us to (a) ‘map’ the sound in space, (b) pick out soft sounds, (c) pick out distant sound or speech and (d) separate a single voice from surrounding background noise. ![]() Binaural hearing is literally opposite of monaural hearing. Just as we use two eyes to see in three dimensions, we use two ears for “dimensional hearing”. Use of both the ears to perceive the world of sound around us is defined as Binaural hearing. The main difference between the two ears is that they are not in the same place. ![]() ![]() ![]() In HTML (and SGML and XML), the greater-than sign is used at the end of tags. The proper Unicode character is U+232A 〉 RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET. The greater-than sign is sometimes used for an approximation of the closing angle bracket, ⟩. Johnson says it is likely Harriot developed the two symbols from this symbol. The text states " Signum majoritatis ut a > b significet a majorem quam b (The sign of majority a > b indicates that a is greater than b)" and " Signum minoritatis ut a < b significet a minorem quam b (The sign of minority a < b indicates that a is less than b)."Īccording to historian Art Johnson, while Harriot was surveying North America, he saw a Native American with a symbol that resembled the greater-than sign, in both backwards and forwards forms. The earliest known use of the symbols is found in Artis Analyticae Praxis ad Aequationes Algebraicas Resolvendas ( The Analytical Arts Applied to Solving Algebraic Equations) by Thomas Harriot, published posthumously in 1631. Since the development of computer programming languages, the greater-than sign and the less-than sign have been repurposed for a range of uses and operations. The less-than sign and greater-than sign always "point" to the smaller number. Examples of typical usage include 1.5 > 1 and 1 > −2. In mathematical writing, the greater-than sign is typically placed between two values being compared and signifies that the first number is greater than the second number. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the right, >, has been found in documents dated as far back as 1631. The greater-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values.
