Again, only because I had a Vietnamese classmate last quarter who would speak all three.Īh, the language power struggle is can be particularly annoying. Speaking of awareness, I just barely learned to distinguish a Vietnamese accent when speaking Mandarin, Cantonese (sort of), or English. It's almost as if they think each word is a Chinese character and either you know it or you don't. Another thing too, generally speaking, English words may as well be what Chinese characters are to most Westerners. You would be correct in guessing the "less awareness" option. The separation between the West and China has been a pretty big one, my friend. Also, an average Chinese guy asked me to translate an "English" song for him, and I couldn't, because it was in German. I say that accents just sound "foreign" to them, because When I would speak to my friend from England, they couldn't tell the difference between our accents. In Taipei I did have to put up a bit of a fight. Hong Kong was a British colony, and people in Macau don't speak a lot of Mandarin. Outside of some areas of Shanghai and ONLY Shanghai, the language power struggle was not an issue as far as mainland China goes. Whether you could pass as Cantonese may be a different pends how well you can pull it off I guess, but they're obviously much more likely to be clued in to that one. I think any accent you can put on is cool. "I can do a Cantonese accent too, but does that really count as "foreign"?" So I'm wondering if Chinese makes it inherently harder to pick the accent, or if there's just less awareness. In English, I usually have a very good idea where the accent is coming from. interesting comment, though it somehow doesn't surprise me. "I think most accents just sound "foreign" to Chinese people and not really that distinguishable" While it does interest me on the one hand, on the other hand I'm not concerned with language power struggle as I'm sure there's ample opportunity to practice in China. really? Was that in more rural areas? Is it more of an issue in the big smoke? Mind you, as above, I was really just sharing my musings and how I arrived at my question of how to imitate a foreign accent in Chinese. "the language power struggle was a non-issue" Any thoughts on this topic would be very interesting to hear. ![]() That is, apart from English, how widely spoken are other languages in China?. I'm also wondering how likely you are to get caught out. if so, how did it go? Also, any good examples to listen to of Chinese with Foreign accents other than English? I have some idea of how I would try and sound, but it would probably be an appalling attempt not having heard any examples of it, hehe. But in the interim, if you want to be able to practice your Chinese and not find that the convo always ends up defaulting to English, how to sound like your speaking Chinese with say a French accent? Have any Poddies tried to pull this off.not only claimed another language but tried to put on an accent to go with it?. So obviously we should be aiming for accent reduction if we want to get closer to speaking like a native. Ni hao mate, wo shi faguoren is probably not going to cut it. That may be a little harder to pull off here in Australia. I was thinking of the old language power struggle and the ploy to pretend you're not an English speaker. ![]() I'm not sure if the title is the best way of expressing what I'm driving at.

![]() Power finished second in the series behind the factory-supported Van Diemen driver, Will Davison.Īfter three years of Formula Ford racing, Power moved into Formula Holden, racing for the Graham Watson-owned Ralt Australia team driving a Reynard 94D. Still running a small family-oriented team in 2001, Power upgraded to a Stealth RF95, a Western Australian modification of a 1995 Van Diemen. In 2000 Power ran a full campaign leading to his first title in the Swift while simultaneously racing a late-model Spectrum 07 on the Australian Formula Ford Championship, finishing a promising seventh. In 1999 Power began driving an aging family-owned Swift SC92F in the Queensland Formula Ford Championship, winning races in a sporadic campaign. The son of open-wheel racer Bob Power, Will Power started his career in Queensland driving a Datsun 1200 at Morgan Park Raceway, Warwick as well as at Carnel Raceway, Stanthorpe. Will Power was born in Toowoomba, Queensland. Power is one of the most successful Ind圜ar drivers of all-time, currently sitting fifth all-time in wins (41) and first all-time in poles (68) in the sport’s history. He has won the Ind圜ar Championship twice, in 20, as well as winning the 2018 Indianapolis 500. William "Will" Steven Power (born 1 March 1981) is an Australian motorsports driver who currently competes in the Ind圜ar Series, driving for Team Penske. ![]() Power at the 2021 Acura Grand Prix of Long BeachĢ008 Gainsco Auto Insurance Indy 300 ( Homestead)Ģ023 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix ( Detroit)Ģ008 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach ( Long Beach)Ģ022 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix ( Belle Isle)Ģ005 Lexmark Indy 300 ( Surfers Paradise) ![]() Also in the picture is the Kanehekili volcanic center located at 18☁3′S 33☃6′W / 18.21°S 33.6°W / -18.21 -33.6 ( Kanehekili Volcano). This fluctus (terrain covered by outflow of liquid, used on Venus, Io and Titan) is located in the sub-Jovian hemisphere at 17☄1′S 33☃4′W / 17.68°S 33.56°W / -17.68 -33.56 ( Kanehekili Fluctus) as shown in the picture on the right. Kanehekili Fluctus is a lava flow field on Jupiter's moon, Io. Other than that, there’s nothing to complain about with the switches for the price of the keyboard.This image is clipped from the USGS Io Global Mosaic (Becker and Geissler, 2005). The reason for this is the simple damping directly at the contact. They are quite loud for quiet linear switches when typing. This makes typing on the keyboard quite pleasant – there is also something special about them, depending on the viewing angle. The red TCC switches installed on the Pyro are comparable to Cherry MX Red switches, but they are a bit softer on keystroke. Depending on personal taste, this is sometimes more, sometimes less good. With the grooved design, it can provide a lot of grip, but at the expense of the palm rests. The only thing that one or the other might find rather unpleasant is the palm rest. There were no complaints after our two-week test period. ![]() Writing and gaming on the Pyro is very long and comfortable. To anticipate – here, as always, sovereign work was done. Last but not least, there is the question of handiness and ergonomics with the Pyro. However, it is somewhat awkward that you have to press “apply” at the bottom right after each change. At the bottom of the window, there is also the function to configure a total of five game profiles. Here, everything has been kept clear and in a modern design with black and blue colors. One bar down, we can choose between three tabs for general functions, key configuration and key illumination. In the top bar, we can switch between the individual devices and the complete control. Swarm is based on the classic Roccat design. Finally, the lighting spectacle can be individually configured in the software. With Roccat Aimo, multiple devices can be connected in series and illuminated in 16.8 million colors. At this point, we would have liked to see the Magma with mechanical switches as well, since this lighting concept looks very promising – still, we are talking about the Pyro here. Unlike its sister model, the Magma, the top of the keyboard is not illuminated. It illuminates each of the individual switches with one LED each. In order to be able to set this up later, Roccat makes the software called Swarm available for download on their site.Īs mentioned at the beginning, the Pyro is equipped with Roccat’s Aimo technology. As an extension to this, Roccat uses their Easy-Shift technology again, which allows the keys around WASD to be assigned two functions. In addition, the Pyro comes with macro keys, which are located at F8 to F12 and can be accessed with the FN key. The volume control can be operated precisely and very smoothly. Of course, this is nothing innovative, we can find similar things on many other keyboards. On the upper right edge of the pyro there is a small LED strip with volume control. We could not determine any optical defects or processing errors after a first inspection. Around the brushed aluminum layer is a small plastic edge, which stands out visually with grooved stripes. ![]() In combination with the matt black keycaps, the first impression is right. The top of the keyboard case is coated with dark gray brushed aluminum. Stripped of its foil, the Pyro cuts a fine figure from the very first second – and there’s a clear reason for that. ![]() Bold features include a vented front fascia with a twin-port grille and recessed fog lamps. The distinctive roofline has an integrated roof rack. Tapering side window lines are reminiscent of the Ford Focus Wagon. A slight resemblance to the company’s controversial and now-defunct Aztek may be noted, but the Vibe is considerably less radical. GM’s OnStar communication system is optional.Įxhibiting a sleek wedge profile and short overhangs, the Vibe displays basic styling cues that suggest an SUV.

Security and Premium Packages also are offered. That sounds like a lot of sportiness, and the Vibe leans in that direction because Pontiac has long been positioned as the sportiest member of the GM divisions.įor 2006, a stereo system with MP3 playback capability and a Sport Package that includes a premium monotone appearance group are available. Like other small crossover models, the Vibe combines some features of a sports car, a sport wagon and a sport utility vehicle. Pontiac’s Vibe is related to the Toyota Matrix. Styled by Pontiac and engineered by Toyota, the Vibe is produced at a Toyota/General Motors joint-venture facility in Fremont, Calif.

Therefore, you need to use one-third of dried thyme as fresh. Moreover, dried thyme leaves can be used in place of fresh thyme leaves in any application. However, the main difference between dried thyme and fresh thyme is that the dried one usually needs to be rehydrated, either on its own or during the cooking process. It is rarely considered an allergy, so anyone looking to cook with fresh herbs can use it. Notably, thyme is suitable for all diets. Thyme leaves can be kept fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days after being plucked from the stem.įresh thyme is used to season a variety of meals, either alone or as a bouquet garni with other popular herbs such as rosemary, sage, and marjoram. Thyme is a herb with little leaves growing on slender stalks in clusters. In addition, I have highlighted some excellent alternatives to fresh thyme because someday, you may run out of fresh thyme anytime, or maybe you want something different.Įnjoy an interesting read. This article will provide you with more knowledge on fresh thyme and its use in recipes. It possesses a pleasant herbal flavor and antimicrobial characteristics, which makes a lot of sense! According to research, ancient Egyptians used thyme’s potent antibacterial properties in embalming rites.įurthermore, thyme has been used in food preservation throughout its recorded history. However, its use has not always been limited to the kitchen. Yet, it is today farmed and cooked with all over the world. Just remember that its English counterpart is not only more robust, but has better cold tolerance.Thyme’s origins can be traced back to ancient Mediterranean communities. It is often preferred by chefs, and is excellent for seasoning meat, fish, soup, and vegetables. What is the difference between French and English thyme?įrench thyme is a variety of English thyme that has narrower, grey-green leaves and a slightly sweeter flavor. Think of thyme when you are making lasagna, sautéing or roasting vegetables, roasting chicken, pork, lamb, or beef, and making any sort of potato dish. Fresh thyme is nice with fish and seafood. Thyme (fresh and dried) pairs well with meats of all kinds, chicken, stews, soups, eggs, pastas, vegetables and beans.

Thus, this is the main difference between thyme and rosemary. When substituting rosemary for thyme, it’s important to use slightly less amount than what the recipe calls for. In brief, rosemary has a stronger flavour than thyme. Those best for flavor, as well as ease of use, are the low-growing, shrubby ones known as English, French, lemon, or winter thyme. Dozens of varieties are available, but those interested in the best culinary thymes have only a handful of choices. ![]() One might take pleasure in the beautiful, wide-open landscapes, relaxing in the hot springs, or composing haiku. ![]() However, there are some brief moments of relief to be found throughout the game. It's bloody, characters die in violent, gruesome ways, and the story is pretty light on levity. The expansion looks poised to zero in on how one reconciles their own values they hold to be true with the warped, antiquated ones of their ancestors, which has the potential to be an incredibly compelling tale. The battle between change and tradition is Ghost of Tsushima'score conflict, but whereas the base game explored that struggle in regard to how to defend one's homeland, the upcoming DLC seems to be more a matter of family. PlayStation has stated that Jin Sakai-who has visited the island once before-will have to "face old fears" and confront "buried traumas" head-on, while simultaneously coming to terms with his family's shadowy, presumably bloody past. While Jin's goal may be fairly straightforward, the moral reckoning he's likely to endure is anything but. ![]() With the new location comes a new story with a familiar premise: Jin has to stop a group of Mongols who pose a threat to his home. Upon reaching Act 2 of the game, players will be able to depart the titular island of Tsushima to visit Iki Island. ![]() If a radio failure has occurred, it is unlikely to be detected until an attempt to make contact is initiated. If the clearance did not specify a method of joining, a standard overhead join may be the best option, as ATC will be able to predict the aeroplane's movements. ![]() If a clearance to enter the control zone has been received before the failure, then continuing in accordance with the clearance is what will be expected. Legally, an aircraft cannot enter a control zone without a clearance, so should the student break this rule or divert? Generally, ATC can be expected to accept an aircraft returning to the controlled aerodrome under these conditions, especially if the transponder code 7600 is used. To join at a controlled or uncontrolled aerodrome in the event of a radio failure. However, if a diversion is required, training in this procedure will need to be given before solo exercises outside the circuit. The exercise can be simulated if arranged with ATC in advance, and outside peak times. When the student's home aerodrome is controlled, the CFI will provide guidance on what the student should do in the event of a radio failure outside the circuit. It's recommended that once the standard overhead join procedure has been mastered by a student, simulated radio failure procedures should be taught before any solo exercises in the training area. Although modern aeroplane radios are reliable, the student needs to know the procedure to follow in the event of a communications failure. ![]() Reduced definition of the right heart border is typically associated with right middle lobe consolidation.The heart borders may become difficult to distinguish from the lung fields as a result of pathology which increases the opacity of overlying lung tissue: The left ventricle makes up most of the left heart border.The right atrium makes up most of the right heart border.Inspect the borders of the heart which should be well defined in healthy individuals: Cardiomegaly can develop for a wide variety of reasons including valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension and pericardial effusion.

The right main bronchus is generally wider, shorter and more vertical than the left main bronchus. The carina is an important landmark when assessing nasogastric (NG) tube placement, as the NG tube should bisect the carina if it is correctly placed in the gastrointestinal tract. On appropriately exposed chest X-ray, this division should be clearly visible. The carina is cartilage situated at the point at which the trachea divides into the left and right main bronchus.

![]() Also Aguefort could’ve brought another teacher in to sacrifice and revivify Darleen but didn’t. Adiane herself could’ve disengaged and ran for help. Had they focused more on corn blob or at first the pantry and not tried to jump on tables, or had they protected their lvl 1 (I think she was lvl 1?) wizard more, then maybe it wouldn’t have had to come to that. With that being said, there was a way for darleen the lunch lady to not be killed in that fight, but the circumstances brought upon by both NPCs and PCs lead Adiane to make the decision to kill her. I chose Adiane mostly out of “she did make a choice, and within the world it was a correct choice but she still took a innocent life - does that make her good or bad?” Which, as a question, makes everything seem really one dimensional to me. I mean, if we’re saying that whether people are good or bad by their actions, then we’re also labelling actions as good or bad. I just think you can still hate a character and their actions and be intrigued about how they’ll grow and develop into hopefully a better person.Įdit: I did not mean for this to be so big, nor to use the phrase “which is to say” twice but here we are and I’m sorry about that □Įdit: Oh my god I’m so sorry for the long reply □ Everyone’s going to react differently to each character and their backstory, which is to say your feelings on her (and whatever label you want to use for her eg. I don’t think she’s a good partner, but she seems to try and be a good mother and a better person. Which is to say, Sandra Lynn has made some bad choices, absolutely. ![]() Or hell, is Adiane a good person after we saw her beat a woman to death with a ladle? ![]() I think to label her good or bad kinda minimises Figs relationship and character growth in relation to Sandra Lynn.Īlternatively, is Fig a good person, when we know about her pretending to be completely different people and making out with people who do not know her nor can’t consent to kissing her or a teenager in general? She certainly could do more, as could anyone, but IMO she's far from a bad person. We're not given a whole lot from Brennan, but she was taken advantage of by an older couple when she wasn't much older than Fig, and while I'm not excusing her behavior, that kind of thing is going to shape a person pretty severely, especially without addressing it or trying to work through it with anyone.Īlso, Brennan seems to be very interested in telling broader character stories when he can to, not necessarily say that a character is good or bad, but to just provide more context of a person's life so that you can decide whether that person is "good" or "bad" or worthy of redemption, with regards to Ailwyn.Īs others have said, I think Sandra Lynn is a complex character who consistently makes poor choices when it comes to being someone in a committed relationship, but also does her best to protect people and, recognizing her flaws, attempts to be as good of a parent as she can be. I think something a lot of people forget about Sandra Lynn, also, is her own background and traumas regarding relationships. ![]() Moreover, if a holiday falls on a weekend, the bank will be closed the following Monday.
