![]() ![]() ![]() Romeo concludes his musings upon Juliet's chastity with a line that echoes his earlier call for Juliet to "kill the envious moon." However, here Shakespeare creates a parallelism that makes the metaphor more graphic. / - / - / - /Īnd none but fools do wear it cast it off. Obviously, medical theory of the day was dominated by men. Although the condition had virtually nothing to do with virginity, the "cure" was, of course, the healthy lovemaking a woman could expect within the bonds of matrimony. Romeo's mention of sick and green in this line owes to the Renaissance belief that women who protractedly maintained their virginity were subject to green-sickness, so named because of a form of anemia that could affect young women (known medically as chlorosis, in which the skin actually takes on a greenish cast due to a significant hemoglobin deficiency). "Vestal livery" here refers to Juliet's virginity by referring to the garments of the Vestal virgins Vesta, the Roman goddess of the hearth, had temples staffed by women who were bound by 30-year vows of chastity. Unless you want to stress "is" unnaturally, the most logical scansion seems to be iamb/ iamb/ pyrrhic/ anapest/ iamb. Metrically, this 11-syllable line would probably scan better if written as "liv'ry." In both quarto editions and the First Folio, however, the word is spelled as if the three syllables are to be pronounced. Anyone who's ever read anything about Greek and Roman mythology knows that one didn't trifle with the vanity of goddesses. It's interesting here, too, in using classic mythology as the underpinning of his metaphor, that Romeo speaks of the "envious" moon. This time, he reasons that Juliet need not serve the moon goddess since the moon goddess is jealous of her. Much like "kill the envious moon" above, Romeo again calls Juliet to action. The interwoven imagery and subtext of this passage is quite remarkable under close examination. The reason that the moon is sad is that Juliet's beauty outshines hers, much as the sun's light outshines the moon. Maid alludes to Juliet's virginity both in its traditional denotation as a young, unmarried woman and as a servant of the moon (implying that Juliet is in the service of Diana, which would reinforce the concept). Romeo employs a double entendre on the word "maid" in this line. That thou her maid art far more fair than she: Romeo here continues the moon metaphor by alluding to the normally wan appearance of the moon in the sky and imbuing the moon (as the goddess Diana) with sadness as the reason for its pallor. You may draw your own conclusions, therefore, as to what Romeo means by "kill the envious moon." - / - / - / - /Īfter beginning with a pyrrhic, this line starts a stretch of regular iambic pentameter. Second, the reference begins an extended-and occasionally risqué-metaphor that plays upon the association of the moon goddess, Diana, (or Artemis, if you prefer), with virginity. First, of course the rising sun of day signifies the end of night, "killing" the moon. The reference to the "envious moon" is a double entendre. Romeo asks Juliet to appear ("Arise, fair sun") at her window. Like the line before, this one also contains 11 total syllables and is arguably ended by an anapest. / - / - / - /Īrise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Anyway, Romeo romantically compares the window to the eastern horizon at dawn he hasn't seen Juliet appear yet (at least in most interpretations of the script), but, like the dim light appearing before sunrise, the light heralds her arrival. It begins with a pyrrhic, which isn't such an oddity in itself, but the scansion following the mid-line caesura causes some consternation unless A) Shakespeare intended Juliet to be pronounced more like "JOOL-yet" instead of "JOOL-i-ET," or B) "is the sun" is intended as an anapest to end the line. The second line is more eccentric in its meter. "But soft! what light breaks through yonder window" would have a decidedly different rhythm. The line also shows how a slight shift in the syntactic order, shifting the word "breaks" to the end of the phrase rather than directly following the subject of "light," is used to make the line better fit the meter. As light appears at Juliet's window above, Romeo begins his metaphoric comparison of Juliet to the sunrise. Romeo begins in straightforward iambic pentameter, with stresses regularly punctuating every other syllable.

The only negative was the water took longer to get up to temperature than it would if I were using a traditional immersion circulator. I cooked a beefsteak in the sous vide water bath at 129 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours, and it was excellent. So, you can enjoy tender and delicious meats, even when you're working with cheap cuts. The Instant Pot Duo Crisp has a sous vide function that the Foodi does not. ![]() The Ninja Foodi's pork was easier to shred and more flavorful.Ĭhicken seared in the Foodi had a nice, consistent crust, whereas the browning was more subtle on the Duo Crisp's chicken. The Duo Crisp's pulled pork turned out good, though slightly dry. I slow-cooked a 3.5-pound pork shoulder in each unit for 10 hours on low. While the Ninja Foodi Deluxe XL Cooker & Air Fryer was better at searing meats and slow cooking, we give the Instant Pot Duo Crisp the edge because it has a sous vide function. The Ninja Foodi did a better job of searing chicken than the Instant Pot Duo Crisp. The Instant Pot has a stainless steel pot that handles metal utensils. However, you can't use metal utensils without damaging it. I found that the nonstick ceramic coating of the Ninja Foodi pot made it easier to clean by hand. With the Duo Crisp, I needed additional shelf space for the second lid.Īside from the base and lids, all of the elements of each cooker are dishwasher safe. The Foodi's air fryer lid is attached by a hinge, making storage easier since both lids could fit on top simultaneously. The Instant Pot Duo Crisp has buttons for each function, while the Ninja Foodi relies on a dial for selecting functions and adjusting the time and temp, giving it a cleaner, less crowded appearance.īoth units come with separate lids for air frying and pressure cooking. ![]() Setting up both of the units was simple: I had them each up and running within five minutes. I give the Ninja Foodi Deluxe XL Cooker & Air Fryer the advantage in this category because of its convenient dial control, easy storage, and nonstick pot.

![]() ![]() Here are step-by-step instructions for installing PostgreSQL.app on your Mac. You simply download it and drag it to your Applications folder, just like with any other application. Postgres.app is a full-featured PostgreSQL installation packaged as a standard Mac application. Because of drupal's database abstraction layer this makes easy work of moving the database between server types.The easiest way to install PostgreSQL on a Mac is by installing Postgres.app. If you are using drupal and need to switch between postgresql and mysql, you should definitely look into the DBTNG Migrator project. and if the user you have set up doesn't have a password, then no need to enter a password either. Another note worth mentioning is that you do not need to specify a port when using this app, the default is fine. That allows you to browse your local databases. There is a very nice lightweight free app called PSequel. While I've not found something exactly like that for postgresql. OSX UIįor mySql, sequel pro seems to be the best GUI available. If you know of a better way, let me know in the comments. There may be a better way (it seems like there should be) to grant all priviledges to a specified user, which would be especially helpful when simply setting something up locally to develop with. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL SEQUENCES IN schema TO mydbname GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN schema TO mydbname You create a database, and usually within that database is a schema called public that contains the tables. ![]() Postgres using the term schema and database a little differently than mysql. The SCHEMA you'll reference is most likely 'public'. But from what little I have done, I know you can grant your user priviledges to the using something like. I have to admit, I feel silly getting into any more specifics about managing priviledges. You can also use SQL to do all this as you would in MySQL, and this is probably the best way to alter your user if you want some things changed after initial creation. There are other setting you can use of course for specifying specifics. If you want add another user and you wish to use for development you can create one OUTSIDE the PSQL shell using a command called 'createuser'. ![]() When following the instructions above you will find yourself with a user named the same as your OSX user name. User management was a little unclear to me. Once this is created you can hop in to the PSQL shell and start querying. If you have a dump of a db you need to load up. You should get notification that the process is running in the background. So you need to put it in the background by hitting and then executing bg at the next shell prompt. This will leave you attached to the process on your command line. To just kick it off and have it run for the time being you can execute postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres Which is what you need to do if you want it always running in the background. I only need to have Postgres running temporarily, so I didn't set up a launchd task or anything. Homebrew is refined enough to simply add the necessary options to your PHP installation rather than replace them. NOTE: this should not mess up your existing install of PHP. You will want first figure out which version of PHP you are using ( php -v on the cli) and select the correct PDO package.

Like other RF lenses, it’ll work on EOS R bodies with full or cropped-frame sensors, but it’s not compatible with EOS-M bodies or Canon DSLRs. ![]() While pitched as a macro lens for close-up work, it’s also a highly-corrected short telephoto that’ll deliver great-looking portraits and landscapes too. The Canon RF 100mm f2.8L IS USM is a high-end macro lens designed for Canon’s EOS R mirrorless system. Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks! Buy it now! Check prices on the Canon RF 100mm f2.8L Macro at B&H, Adorama, WEX UK or. If your budget is tighter, consider Canon’s RF 35mm f1.8 Macro. Ultimately the pros outweigh any cons for me personally, making the RF 100mm f2.8L the best overall Macro lens I’ve tested for any Canon camera and recommended if you can afford it. Plus while both lenses can work with extension tubes for greater magnification, Canon doesn’t yet make any in the RF fit - although to be fair, third party RF tubes are available. In my own tests the stabilisation didn’t meet Canon’s claims, and while the EF version is compatible with tele-converters, the RF is not. Meanwhile, the spherical aberration adjustment may be gimmicky, but can still be fun for generating soft-focus results. The RF was also crisper than my EF sample wide-open at f2.8, proved more reliable with eye-detection AF, and a little faster, quieter and more confident overall, although be aware of potential focus shift as the aperture is adjusted when shooting at very close range. Most obviously it’ll deliver greater reproduction without the use of accessories: 1.4x versus 1x on the older EF model. It’s a tough act to follow, but the RF 100mm f2.8L Macro out-performs it in a number of key respects. ![]() Its color is Red.Summary For many years, the EF 100mm f2.8L Macro was the close-up lens Canon owners aspired to, delivering excellent results both near and far.

It also counters the web’s information overload and tendency to foster hyperspecialization by focusing on four well-chosen works a week, bringing together writing on varied cultural forms within a single venue. 4Columns nurtures excellence by compensating its contributors fairly. Let’s say you have the following markup:Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum. Launched at a moment when the Internet is increasingly the dominant outlet for critics and criticism, 4Columns exploits the resources of online technology but avoids one of the blogosphere’s most prevalent shortcomings: the poor payment of writers. Using CSS3 and progressive enhancement I think the easiest way to display your content in multiple columns is to apply a little CSS 3 in progressively enhancing fashion. On each iteration, the value of the current element is assigned to value. As foreach relies on the internal array pointer in PHP 5, changing it within the loop may lead to unexpected behavior. There are two syntaxes: foreach (iterableexpression as value) statement foreach (iterableexpression as key > value) statement The first form traverses the iterable given by iterableexpression. This means that you do not need to call reset() before a foreach loop. On each iteration, the value variable is set to current element in the array. In PHP 5, when foreach first starts executing, the internal array pointer is automatically reset to the first element of the array. It, further, maintains meaningful distinctions between artistic disciplines while accommodating the hybrid nature of much contemporary practice. Usage of foreach statement is as follows Syntax foreach (arrayexpression as value) statement foreach (arrayexpression as key > value) statement First form of foreach iterates over elements in an indexed array. The site’s flexible, modular framework supports a multiplicity of styles, approaches, and ideas. Centered, but not moored, in the New York scene, 4Columns reflects the cosmopolitanism of today’s culture through the sensibilities of a similarly diverse group of contributors. The criticism it publishes functions as a conversational gambit, a piece of fan mail from the most exacting of admirers, maybe even a breakup note.ĤColumns’s mainstay is the thousand-word review-a length that both enables critical reflection and demands writerly rigor. ![]() “To justify its existence,” Charles Baudelaire said of criticism, it “should be partial, impassioned, and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view that opens up the widest horizons.” Following Baudelaire’s lead, 4Columns treats criticism as a literary genre in its own right-one in which singular passions ignite public discourse. Together, they offer a complex and compelling view of contemporary culture, from film to literature to theater to the visual arts. Its title refers, quite literally, to what you’ll find there each week: four new columns, each with a distinctive voice and perspective. 4Columns is a website of arts criticism aimed at a general audience. ![]() ![]() I cannot confirm if this is the case or not. But that is probably something unrelated to this phone.įreedom OS might be a modified Oxygen OS. So, being the curious Oatmeal Joey Guy that I am, I decided to go look that up and I think I ran into a few different OSes with that same name and I cannot say which one might be in the Freedom Phone mostly because Erik has not told us I guess or if he has then please let me know. This Freedom Phone, according to their website, uses what they call the Freedom OS. But at the same time, many things can be very similar and yet not the same. But I don't have the evidence to prove that. People on Twitter said these phones were modified Umidigi A9 Pro phones and I say that is probably true. So, I'm not going to get too much into the hardware specifications (specs) partly because Erik's website does not seem to say who made his phone. Might be overpriced but so are the iPhones which people still buy each time for over $1K every few years. Now, that may not necessarily be a bad thing in and of itself. The Freedom Phone may be a repackaged version of this phone which they turn around to sell for $500. I've never heard anything bad about Sony trying to censor free speech or anything. I can't say if Sony is working for big tech or what. I say that to say a Sony item is on that phone. The Umidigi A9 Pro includes a 48MP Sony AI matrix quad camera. The actual hardware of this phone according to some people might be a modified version of Umidigi A9 Pro. Erik said some nice things about freedom but the phone is $500 which might be ok for some people. ![]() More on that OS later but I have to say freedom is good. After watching Alex Jones, I was watching Owen Shroyer's War Room where he interviewed Erik Finman who was promoting his Freedom Phone which runs what is called the FreedomOS. I'm just trying to summarize and simplify a wide variety of things which brings me up to the topic of this post. But your OS can only be as good as the hardware of the phone allows it to be. All your software, the programs or applications (apps), rest on the OS which means your app can only be as good as your OS allows it to be. I would stay away from Windows, Apple, and Android related operating systems for a variety of reasons. Generally speaking, the BIOS will boot-up or load or open an operating system (OS) on your phone or computer. I do not know if BIOS can be remote accessed via backdoors or not. ![]() There may be some read-only memory (ROM) programs inside phones and that may include a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) firmware or a bootloader which may assist in the Power-On Self-Test (POST). Let's move on to software.Ī phone consists of hardware but also software. ![]() ![]() But I'm not going to bore you any longer with hardware talk. I can say hypothetically that the best thing you can start off with is a phone with hardware that does not have remote access which big tech, governments, and others may be able to get a hold of. So, determining the quality of a phone rests mostly on the quality of the hardware and I cannot say which hardware parts may have backdoors with remote control access which may have the ability to hack into a phone in order to control it. Oh, if the motherboard is not green, just ask her and she will say, "But I identify as green." Plus, it depends on the CPU, the GPU, the RAM (memory), and the hard drive or storage devices which are plugged into the motherboard which is the green circuit board which all the other hardware pieces plugs into. Your phone may be only as good as the sum of the parts, that is the hardware. I would focus on the motherboard of the phone because that would be the main brain or central hub of the hardware of the phone. The different parts in a phone may come from different companies. They can have problems depending on who made them. To be clear, a phone is a pocket computer or tablet or device. So, hardware means all the computer parts in the phone and it includes the phone itself. You can summarize a phone into 2 major parts, hardware and software.
