![]() You could feel things changing.” That change came on August 1st, 1981, when MTV went on the airwaves at 12:01 a.m. “I’d heard Kraftwerk’s The Man-Machine and video was coming. ![]() Ballard and had this vision of the future where record companies would have computers in the basement and manufacture artists,” he told The Guardian in 2018. Trevor Horn didn’t know that MTV was coming when he wrote “Video Killed the Radio Star” for his synth duo the Buggles in the late Seventies, but he knew the music industry was on the verge of a major change. From Adele’s “Hello” to ZZ Top’s “Gimme All Your Lovin'” - these are the videos that continue to thrill us, delight us, disturb us, and remind us just how much you can do in three to four minutes with a song, a camera, a concept, a pose, some mood lighting, and an iconic hand gesture or two. But all of these picks are perfect examples of how pairing sound and vision created an entire artistic vocabulary, gave us a handful of miniature-movie masterpieces, and changed how we heard (and saw) music. No, “Thriller” is not.) A few pre-date the channel several have never played on MTV at all. ![]() You’ll notice some significant changes from the last time we did this. In honor of MTV’s 40th anniversary, we’ve decided to rank the top 100 music videos of all time. Four decades after the channel’s launch and long after it stopped playing them, music videos still complement songs, create mythologies, and cause chatter and controversy. The internet soon stepped in to fill the void. The format proved so durable that when MTV decided to switch things up and devote its air time to game shows, reality TV, and scripted series, thus shutting down the primary pipeline for these promos, artists still kept making them. Entire genres and subgenres - from hip-hop to grunge to boy-band pop to nu metal - became part of the mainstream. The network revolutionized the music industry, inspired a multitude of copycat programming, made many careers, and broke more than a few. Virtually everyone knew what a music video was, and they wanted their MTV. At this point, viewers might have a few questions, like: Is this like a radio station on TV? What is a “VJ”? And what the hell is a “music video”?Ī year later, no one was asking that last question. This wasn’t a news channel it was “Music Television.” If they kept tuning in, they’d see clips and hear VJs talk about bringing you the latest in music videos. And then they’d hear a voiceover, with all the smooth patter of an FM disc jockey: “Ladies and gentlemen, rock & roll.” Cue power chords, and a flag with a network logo - something called MTV - that rapidly changed colors and patterns. The familiar sight of Neil Armstrong exiting his lunar module and walking on the moon would fill the TV screen. In the wee hours of August 1st, 1981, someone flipping through their channels might have come across the image of a rocket blasting into space.

![]() While there is not one diet, in particular, that is specifically recommended for the prevention of type 2 diabetes, the DASH diet has been associated with a 20 percent reduced risk for being diagnosed with type 2 in the future. Several studies show the effectiveness of the DASH diet in regards to type 2 diabetes, whether it’s to possibly prevent it from occurring or reducing the risk of health complications in those who already have it. It can also improve blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and promote weight loss-all of which decrease the risks of type 2 diabetes and are conducive to diabetes management. When you eat this diet, you’re also consuming nutrient-rich foods in calcium, potassium and magnesium. However, the DASH diet’s benefits aren’t singular to hypertension. High blood pressure is one of the risk factors of type 2 diabetes. ![]() People adopt the DASH diet because it can reduce hypertension or high blood pressure. Why DASH? Research Shows Its Effectiveness But, alcohol consumption should be done in moderation. What about alcohol and caffeine you ask? The diet doesn’t mention caffeine due to the lack of evidence on the effect of caffeine on blood pressure. Four-to-five servings of nuts, seeds and legumes.The following amounts are suggested per week: Two-to-three servings of fats and oils-healthy options for fats include avocados, low-fat cheese and yogurt, dark chocolate, nuts, olive oil.Six or fewer servings of lean meats, poultry or fish-1 ounce per serving.Here’s what a day following the DASH diet, based on a 2,000-calorie plan would look like: The primary goal of the DASH diet is to help lower high blood pressure. Ideally, less than 10 percent of your daily caloric intake should be allotted for each. One of the goals of the diet is to limit the intake of foods with significant amounts of sugar, sodium and saturated fat. It also recommends the consumption of fat-free or low-fat dairy options. Similar to the Mediterranean Diet, the plan recommends eating fruits, vegetables and whole grains, along with sources of lean protein, such as fish and poultry, and healthier fats like beans, nuts and vegetable oils. The DASH diet- Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension-is a nutrition plan that promotes heart-healthy foods. ![]() Some of these may definitely surprise you. See more ideas about teen titans starfire, teen titans, starfire. This retcon will definitely be of significance to all fans of Titans TV Series. Now with Titans Season 3 Episode 11, Starfire has received a major change in her origin story. So here are 20 interesting facts about Starfire that you likely didn’t know. Explore Kailie Butler's board 'Teen Titans- Starfire and Blackfire', followed by 5,404 people on Pinterest. October 9, 2021, 12:40 pm Follow Share Arguably one of the most controversial castings in the history of DCTV, Starfire of Titans has slowly warmed up to viewers. Starfires powers are based on her emotions, so when she is emotionally confused, 21 when she couldnt fly, her powers are more likely to not work properly. When she sneezes, she unleashes explosive starbolt energy out of her nose and mouth. On the day of her birth, the Citadel Empire attacked the Tamaranean city of Kyssar and took the lives of over 3,000. Ruling the planet and all its citizens was her birthright, but it all came crashing down after one fateful day. I guess I just loved this idea of an incredibly powerful girl who could be simultaneously endearing and slightly terrifying.īut just how much do you know about Starfire? She has quite the rich history in comics and animation, and there have been quite a few different versions of her. Starfire, like Tamaraneans, is allergic to metallic chromium. Blackfire, otherwise known as Komand’r, was the eldest and firstborn princess into the royal family of Tamaran. ![]() She was an awesome hero who could either blast you through the wall or give you a big hug, squealing with joy. Comic Starfire never forgave Blackfire and is ready to fight her on-site, including the appearance she makes in the comics. ![]() She ends up forgiving Blackfires betrayal again when she makes a later appearance. I rather liked her charming, yet slightly naïve personality, coupled with her very fierce and warrior-like temper. However, when she finds out about Blackfires betrayal, the veil falls off her eyes, and she gives her sister to the Centauri police. I was first introduced to Starfire through the animated series Teen Titans. Although I have to admit some of those costumes really weren’t that practical for fighting, but to each their own. Been reading the Wolfman Teen Titans run and Blackfire was killing animals from childhood, betrayed her family and race to the Gordanians and forced her sister who was a child into becoming a sex slave for these aliens for at least a decade before she broke free at the start of the series. I know that she was the source of many crushes back in the day. I hate to be so critical, but wow, the dialogue and acting between Starfire and Blackfire was so cringeworthy, it felt like a CW show. Wouldnt have blamed Starfire for killing her. She does have that rather exotic quality with her golden orange skin, flaming red hair, and glowing green eyes. Starfire is also popular for her sultry appeal, wearing outfits that show off her very attractive body. ![]() Here is the complete code of Flask-SQLite application.įrom flask import Flask, render_template, request This list.html is a template, which iterates over the row set and renders the data in an HTML table.įinally, the ‘/’ URL rule renders a ‘home.html’ which acts as the entry point of the home(): ![]() Return render_template("list.html",rows = rows) This object is passed to the list.html list(): It populates ‘rows’ as a MultiDict object containing all records in the students table. ![]() The application contains another list() function represented by ‘/list’ URL.

She always put that first,” Woodard said. The behavior continued through another pregnancy that birthed hers and Cruz’s half-brother, Zachary. ![]() ![]() She said her mother would beat drug screens while on probation by having her urinate into a container and hide it in her person. She confirmed that throughout her childhood her mother abused alcohol and drugs. Monday was the first time she had seen Cruz in person since she held him minutes after his birth - “he was really squirmy.” Their mother kicked her out of the maternity ward for asking if they could keep him. Cruz looked down.Ĭruz’s half-sister, Danielle Woodard, nearly 12 years older, was brought to the courtroom from a Miami-Dade County jail where she is awaiting trial on a carjacking charge. “Nickolas, I am sorry, but that’s how it was,” she said, peering over at the defense table. Deakins said she angrily told Woodard she was harming her baby with drugs and drinking, but Woodard replied she was putting the child up for adoption and didn’t care. She thought it was because of drugs, but Woodard told her she was pregnant. It is unknown whether Cruz’s birth father was a customer or a rapist - there was conflicting testimony on that - but his identity is unknown and he was not part of Woodard’s life.Ĭruz spent much of the day looking up at the proceedings - during the prosecution’s case, he usually stared at the defense table and scribbled on a pad.Ĭarolyn Deakins, a former prostitute, testified Monday that she and Woodard were drinking beer one day in 1998 when Woodard got sick. The defense began its case by showing that Cruz’s late birth mother, Brenda Woodard, was a Fort Lauderdale prostitute who smoked crack cocaine and drank Colt 45 malt liquor and Cisco fortified wine during her pregnancy with him. Jurors also watched video of Cruz calmly ordering a cherry and blue raspberry Icee minutes after the shooting and, nine months later, attacking a jail guard. Prosecutors also presented graphic surveillance videos gruesome crime scene and autopsy photos his AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle emotional testimony from teachers and students who saw others die and four days of tearful, angry statements from parents, spouses and other family members about how their loved one’s death affected them. Jurors saw dried blood on floors and walls, bullet holes in doors and windows and remnants of Valentine’s Day cards and balloons. The defense is seeking to overcome horrendous evidence laid out by lead prosecutor Mike Satz and his team, capped by the jurors’ visit to the fenced-off building that Cruz stalked, firing about 150 shots down halls and into classrooms. For Cruz to be sentenced to death, the jury must be unanimous - if even one juror votes for life, that will be his sentence. McNeill deferred her opening statement from the trial’s first day of July 18 to the beginning of her team’s case. But she hopes jurors will remember that the law “never requires you to vote for death,” not even “in the worst case imaginable, and it’s arguable that this is the worst case imaginable.” “Everyone knows there is one person responsible for all that pain and all of that suffering, and that person is Nikolas Cruz,” she said.

![]() Both are assumed to be 'victims of commercial sexual exploitation'. Then you could reference the ten-level scale used in the UK, the relevant parts of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Protocol on Child Prostitution and Pornography - noting that the two are lumped together, and that a 'child' is defined in international law as anybody aged under 18, with no distinction between a 17-year-old and a 7-year-old who pose topless in front of a camera. OK, I wouldn't really include the "Trust me, I'm a shrink" that was just a bit of fun. Judith Levine) that in the USA and UK the legal limits are unclear and dependent on the highly subjective interpretation of judges and juries, in which massive influence wielded by expert witnesses is almost never contested (trust me, I'm a shrink) and these interpretations together with a host of new laws, are constantly shifting in a conservative direction at the behest of 'political correctness', certain feminist groups, children's charities such as NCH, and tabloid populism." ![]() "Definitions vary widely across time, cultures and national jurisdictions. On the definition of 'child pornography', for example: All of these are highly emotive and hotly contested, so how can you possibly deal with this in the factual and neutral manner of an encyclopedia? By typing: "These issues are highly emotive and hotly contested". Then you could identify and list the themes and topics that the LS phenomenon involves and relates to (with links to other Wiki entries which explain them in more detail). By that I mean, it's just a question of using sufficiently neutral, objective language like, "People who claim to have viewed the material report that the models appear to enjoy posing and treat the whole exercise as a funny game" and, "Press reports of 'child pornography' studios in Ukraine being raided by police, and the organisers being prosecuted, in 2004, are widely believed to refer to LS Studios, or to the production of material under that trademark, though this has never been confirmed by official sources". But it seems to me that the problem with re-submitting the LS Studios article, under that title, is largely semantic.

Our computational fluid dynamics simulations show that the forces that pull on the wings of a diving peregrine can reach up to three times the falcon’s body mass at a stoop velocity of 80 m s 1 (288 km h 1). The peregrine falcon’s body is built to execute high-speed manoeuvres as it dives through the air to snag its prey.

This is important as Peregrines often kill their prey by diving quickly toward them, then hitting them with bald up feet or scraping them with open talons. not only the worlds fastest bird but also the worlds. This is comparable to 25 times the force of gravity pushing on your body. The average bird travels a respectable 19 to 37 mph (30 to 60 kph), but the peregrine falcon flies at rates between 40 and 60 mph (64 and 97 kph) - and thats just a warm-up. Experiments done have demonstrated that the diving speed of the peregrine falcon exceeds 200 mph. Both Peregrines and Gyrfalcons can withstand up to 25 Gs. According to NOVA, fighter pilots can handle up to 8 – 9 Gs. These birds can also withstand a much higher G-force than humans. In level flight peregrine falcons can reach speeds of between 65 and 90 km/h but when diving can reach over 380 km/h. Kate Davis tells us that the feathers of a Peregrine vibrate in such a way that in a fast dive they make a sound like “tearing a sheet of canvas.” One reason is due to their sleek teardrop body shape and stiff compact wing feathers, which allows them to slip easily through the air with very little wind resistance. How can a Peregrine perform and maintain this speedy life style? A stooping Peregrine may dive vertically, or at an angle as they rocket toward their prey. Read on to learn everything you need to know about golden eagles and their impressive size. In this article, we’ll cover the true size of the golden eagle, and separate some of the facts from the fiction on what these birds hunt. Their large size and immense power separate them from the other birds of prey that they share their habitat with, which benefits golden eagles by reducing competition. Scientists recognize six subspecies of golden eagles that differ slightly in size and color the one found in Japan is the Japanese golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos japonica). ![]() One of the fastest and most agile birds of prey, they are also the most widely distributed eagle species. They will target much larger prey, however, and then they are forced to feed at the site of the kill. The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is a raptor that ranges over mountains and grasslands of primarily the western United States. Golden eagles are one of the world’s largest eagle species. Golden eagles use their large size to overpower and carry large prey up to the size of young lambs. Sea eagles or fish eagles take fish as a large part of their diets, either fresh or as carrion. The two eagle species tend to hunt in different habitats and focus on different prey items, so they are rarely in competition with each other. Adults of the two species are usually easy to tell apart, although the juvenile bald eagle may be confused with a golden eagle when seen from a distance. These majestic birds of prey are very similar in size to the bald eagle, America’s national bird. The size differences include measurements of weight, as well as body, wing, tail, toe, and talon length. Golden eagles are powerfully built and can weigh over 6 kilograms and measure over 93 centimeters (3 ft) in length with a 220 centimeters (87 in) wingspan.Īs is the case in so many raptor species, female golden eagles are larger than males on average. Golden eagles are massive birds of prey that are roughly the same length and weight as the American bald eagle but have a slightly longer wingspan. Golden eagles are partial migrants and can be found in a variety of open habitats, particularly near mountainous terrain and ravines. The Stellers sea eagle is one of the heaviest eagles in the world, native to coastal areas of Eastern Eurasia and Japan. These majestic eagles are widespread in the United States, particularly in the west where they occur as year-round residents. canadensis occurs in Alaska, Canada, the Lower 48 states, and Mexico. The golden eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos) is found right across the Northern Hemisphere, including North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa.
