![]() ![]() To start with, basically everything that Mother sings is in 3/4 time. In light of the criticism leveled against it, I was curious then to see if there was any depth to the musical structure of this show that I know and love so well. For you see, the reality is that many critics over the years have accused Ragtime of being all spectacle and no substance (the very grandiose nature of the prologue could perhaps be considered proof of this). ![]() The incredible scope of Ragtime accounts for both its great appeal and possibly it’s greatest flaw. And there is a lot of plot that needs to be covered before the curtain falls. Thaw as well as three separate ensembles. Morgan, Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, Evelyn Nesbitt, Stanford White, and Harry K. Washington, Tateh, the Little Girl, Harry Houdini, J. In the opening number alone, we are introduced to the Little Boy, Father, Mother, Younger Brother, Grandfather, Coalhouse, Sarah, Booker T. If you’ve read the book or perhaps seen the musical Ragtime and especially if you were lucky enough to see one of the Broadway productions, you’ll know that this is a story of EPIC proportions. (If you're having a hard time keeping the characters straight I would recommend quickly taking a look at the plot synopsis before going any further.) When you think about it, the sheer scope of the novel is somewhat incredible. It is no small task to relate the narratives of three such different characters as Mother, Tateh, and Coalhouse Walker, Jr. But how can we account for the great popularity of both novel and show? Well, the truly brilliant thing about Ragtime is how it handles all these intersecting storylines. I think about that story a lot when I listen to the music of Ragtime – how a brick wall and a case of writer’s block led to a novel that has resonated so deeply with thousands of readers. And Ragtime the novel eventually became Ragtime the musical. Washington? Doctorow’s errant speculations eventually became the novel Ragtime. Who would they have been? In an age of great racial divides, how would they have interacted with the world around them? Could they, by chance, have crossed paths with any of the famous figures of that age? Men like J. And then Doctorow began to wonder about the family that would have lived in this house all the way back in 1902 when it was first built. This led him to think about the house itself. For lack of something better to write about, he began to describe the exposed brick wall in front of him. Apparently, he was sitting in his home in New Rochelle, suffering from a particularly bad case of writer’s block (a feeling that happens to resonate very strongly with me in this particular moment as it has taken me quite a while to begin this particular article, but I digress). The author was leading a discussion about his work, and when asked about Ragtime he began to explain how the novel was born. When I was younger, I had the opportunity to meet E. ![]()

When you engage in cardio of any kind, your body releases endorphins, the body’s feel-good chemical. Like most exercises, cardio is also great for your mental health. This will eventually lower your resting heart rate because your heart pumps blood more efficiently. Cardio helps lower your blood pressure by reducing the levels of bad cholesterol and raising levels of good cholesterol. ![]() Getting your heart pumping at faster rates on a regular basis keeps it in shape and healthy, reducing the risk of heart disease. If you don’t work it, it will weaken much quicker over time. Many people forget that your heart is a muscle, and like all muscles, it requires exercise.

Even though we see so little of what happens with the equinoxes and solstices, it’s amazing what happens outside of our own planet. Of course, in the cities, we can’t see them all that well, but we can go to the country and look at the stars. These constellations include Cancer, the crab, Leo, the lion, Ursa Major and Ursa minor, Big bear and Little bear/cub, and Virgo, the maiden, are some of the most well-known constellations that will be showing up. If you aren’t as much a daylight person and more of a nighttime person, there’s something good for the nighttime people as well! When the Earth begins to tilt +23.5 degrees for the Northern Hemisphere, our view of constellations gets a switch up! The Spring Constellations, which are visible from late March to late June in the Northern Hemisphere, make their yearly spring debut. With the bringing of the Spring Equinox, the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere tilts towards the Sun at a positive 23.5 degrees and the same happens with the Autumnal Equinox but with the Southern Hemisphere. But, how do these things occur? The Earth is constantly moving, whether we know it or not, and Earth is also on a tilt of about 23.5 degrees, which, in some way, is pointed towards the Sun. Why does this occur? Well, the Sun sits parallel to the celestial equator, or an imaginary line just above the equator, which, as time passes through the day, when it gets to noon, the sun is directly above our heads, or a true noon.Īnother effect is the nearly equal day and night that occurs, which occurs for the same reason that the Earth gets the Sun at due east, true noon, and due west. Such as, the fact that the Sun rises due east and sets due west. Now, that’s what we know about here on earth, but what happens out there, in space? Well, a lot, actually, which also includes the Earth.ĭuring the spring equinox, some interesting things happen with the Sun when it comes to Earth, something that may be noticeable or not noticeable at all. Plants start sprouting, the winds become less biting, and the sun rises earlier and sets later. With the spring equinox comes, for the Northern Hemisphere, our daylight hours and the temperature increase, and from what we’ve seen, it starts raining. On March 20, 2021, the Spring Equinox occurred, marking the official start of the season, even if we aren’t out of snow possibilities yet. Spring beauties are one of the earliest flowers to bloom every year in eastern Iowa, as seen on Wednesday, March 31, 2021. 3 Gracie Ehret assists in covering at the national tournament in Cedar Rapids.

Men were constantly chasing her down and forcing her into unwanted sexual interactions. Though Betty was aware of her sex appeal and often used it to her advantage, her sexuality also proved to be a liability. She is the only film star who wears fewer clothes than Jean Harlow.” As the Film Daily wrote in 1932, “Mister Fleischer gave her a doll-like face with those baby eyes BUT also a mature figure with oo-la-la curves and a boudoir languor in her walk.” The News-Herald added, “Betty has another claim to fame. But she was first and foremost a sex symbol. She was a circus performer, a racecar driver and a presidential candidate. But Betty Boop takes it for granted that Bimbo and Koko will form a background for her talents in each production.”Īs the star, Betty played a range of roles. “When that happens to most feminine stars they are flattered. “Betty has two leading men in every picture,” noted the News-Herald in 1932. Unlike her contemporary Minnie Mouse, Betty wasn’t a sidekick, but rather the star of her own show. Here, Betty's ice block coffin is carried by dwarfs on skis. "Snow-White" is filled with surreal imagery. “In fact, they were inspirational to the Surrealists.” “The Fleischer Studios had a really experimental and kind of Surrealist style,” says Hendershot. Halfway through the film, jazz legend Cab Calloway (a regular guest in Betty Boop cartoons) performs a spooky musical number, embodied first by Koko and then by a ghost. As Max’s grandson Mark Fleischer recalls, his grandfather’s motto was “If you can do it in real life, why animate?” Fleischer Studio’s seven-minute “Snow-White” short includes such surreal images as the evil queen’s face morphing into eggs in a frying pan a tree stump fighting with Betty’s co-stars, canine beau Bimbo and his friend Koko the Clown and Betty, interred in an ice block coffin, being led down a mountain by the dwarfs on skis. In the Fleischer landscape, anything was possible, and seemingly nothing was off limits. In New York, meanwhile, Fleischer created a grungy, often dangerous urban world for its characters to navigate. From its home in California, Disney was laying the groundwork for the idyllic, fantastical fairy tales that would soon dominate its oeuvre. The dueling studios’ styles were diametrically opposed. After a makeover, Betty became the first fully human, fully female animated character.Īt its height in the 1930s, Fleischer Studios was a giant in animation, rivaled only by Disney. ![]() She appeared in the Fleischers’ “ Talkartoons” series as the girlfriend of main character Bimbo and was such a success that the studio promoted her to its star. ![]() ![]() Initially, Betty was depicted as a dog with a button nose and floppy ears. Her constantly shifting design offers an intriguing case study of how representations of women-including fictional ones-are shaped by censorship, the public’s response and changing conceptions of morality. Betty’s appearance continues to evolve today, with the character donning ripped jeans, joggers and sneakers, and overalls in merchandise and on social media. Beneath that iconic look, however, is a more complex story of aesthetic transformation, from what Heather Hendershot, a media historian at MIT, describes as a “flapper-secretary-adventurer” in the early 1930s to a “middle-class homemaker” by the end of the decade. The enduring image of Betty is a flapper in a strapless minidress, with a garter peeking out above her knee and large hoop earrings in her ears. … They would come for the Betty Boop cartoon.” “She’s a big hit,” says Katia Perea, a cartoon scholar at City University New York, “and she’s a big hit in the same way that Felix the Cat is a big hit, where she was drawing audiences to the movie.

Though similar to Clans, rogue Clans (usually called groups) are kind of all over the place and don't have enforced rules like a traditional Clan does. The other difference is that rogues are known to make crude versions of their own Clans. Loners are more respectful toward the Clans and will abide by their territorial rules. The main difference is that rogues are notorious for being instigators. Not much, actually!

If you see it start to turn yellow or, even worse, red, make sure to hit the brakes and slow down so you can safely take the turn. When this happens, youll want to watch your driving line.

This is the kind of nitpicking that will kill your perspective, IMO :)Ī good, fluid UI. The other two don't have this ability and you have to create a project and then delete the Inbox item. You schedule meetings, but not next actions. What does this mean? In GTD you don't schedule things that aren't strictly specific to a day/time. ![]() They are both very good choices and my preferences and feelings kinda bounce around between them, but lately I've been in OmniFocus and just accept it.Īutomatically push unfinished items to the current day When you have perspective, you accept the tools/implementation as always imperfect but good enough and you get on with your important goals.Īs for the specific apps, I have used both Things 3 and OmniFocus for extended periods of time. If you read "Making it all work" by David Allen, he says GTD tooling obsession is in the "micromanager" quadrant of the perspective/control matrix, meaning its the kind of thing that pulls you away from the goal state of GTD by making you feel like you're in control but actually lacks perspective, so your overall big picture progress goes nowhere. Todo/task mgmt apps are a blessing and a curse. There is NO tool that won't feel irritating at times, there is NO tool that meets everyone's idiosyncratic workflow demands to the letter.Īnd also recognize you can do GTD with paper, as it was done originally, or with a simple notes app like iOS notes, evernote, or google docs or even gmail and other mail clients. And, you must let go of the desire for perfection and maximum efficiency. It's like shopping for jeans, someone else's favorite just doesn't matter, you have to put it on and see if it fits. Honestly it's so personal and subjective that you really just have to try different apps and approaches until you find the one that works best. Which of these is your favorite and why? Do you have any good resources for using an app with GTD? I'm really leaning towards OmniFocus, but feel like I'm not using it to it's potential. I like that Todoist sends an email with your items for that day every morning.I currently use a bullet journal to track habits and routines so I haven't looked into this either, but wouldn't mind the option in an app. Recurring projects/tasks would be nice, but not a must-have.I think they can all do this with tags/labels. Ability to show tasks by context, i.e.I admittedly haven't explored this much, so any input would be appreciated. This seems to be possible in Things and OmniFocus, but not Todoist. Capability of dividing projects up into categories, i.e.I noticed that Things and Todoist do this, but OmniFocus doesn't. Automatically push unfinished items to the current day.I don't want to put appointments in as tasks, but it's nice to be able to see my calendar appointments in the Today view. Unless I'm missing something, the other two don't have this ability and you have to create a project and then delete the Inbox item. I like that with OmniFocus, I can just make that idea a project directly. Sometimes I have an idea that is actually a project put into my Inbox. I like being able to promote/demote items to projects/tasks.I love that OmniFocus and Todoist have this. I have an iPhone and iPad, but my computer is Windows based. I need to be able to input/manage things on a PC.I really don't want to keep track of multiple. So far, they all seem to have things I like and don't like, so I'm wondering if someone can maybe see what I think and offer a suggestion to get the best out of ONE app. I started with OmniFocus, then grabbed Todoist, then figured I'd try Things. I recently discovered the GTD world and immediately dove in to trying to find the perfect app for it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Searching is also far more reliable than in Finder. Commander One’s search has more in common with a GUI interface for grep or find commands than it has in common with Finder’s standard search operations. You can also set searches to look at text within files with the “Find text” option. You can search with regular expressions (RegEx), toggle case sensitivity, search inside compressed archives, and limit the number of subdirectories. It goes beyond just searching for text strings in file names. Terminal pros will recognize this attribute from Terminal’s powerful ls -l command.Īdvanced users will also appreciate how powerful and configurable Commander One’s search tool is. You’ll see the typical attributes here, like date created and date modified, as well as unique options like file extension and permissions. The default Commander One view is ListView, which includes columns for various file attributes.

But keyboard shortcuts for moving files between two locations are not found in vanilla Finder. ![]() Of course, a “Move to Trash” shortcut doesn’t rank as unique. These keyboard shortcuts can dramatically speed up the most basic tasks, simplifying your workflow. F6 will move the selected files from one pane to another, and F8 deletes files. With F3, you can view the selected file with the file type and text encoding of your choice. Select a file in one pane and press F5, and it will be copied to the disk location open in Commander One’s second pane. If you’ve spent much time in Terminal, you’ll find that Commander One offers similar functionality in a visual interface.įor example, important file management operations are bound directly to function keys in Commander One. Powerful and Unique FeaturesĬommander One goes out of its way to support power users with unique features. If you move and manage local files on a regular basis, Commander One is likely to make your life significantly easier. It provides a huge array of additional functionality that supports higher-end file management requirements. The application simply doesn’t support the kind of functionality that power users can benefit from. It can be a struggle to keep track of everything within macOS Finder. It’s a different layout from vanilla Finder, but we found it to be worth relearning our habits to take advantage of the superior layout. The present working directory is shown at the top of the file pane, and favorite locations are accessible from an icon strip at the top. At the bottom of the window you can type your desired path directly, using relative path descriptors from the present directory. There are big, friendly buttons for common tasks like displaying file info, exposing hidden files, creating a zip archive, or starting a search. Yet, it harkens back to the old days of a keyboard-driven Finder and more powerful macOS tools. It’s written completely in Swift, so it benefits from Apple’s newest programming language. When it comes to file management, any level of bugginess is unacceptable.Ĭommander One delivers reliability in spades. ![]() In our testing we found the application completely free of bugs or operational quirks. Unfortunately, not every developer has the resources to deliver a product as well-assembled as Commander One. Considering how important the fit and finish of macOS is to the system’s users, it’s only reasonable to expect the same level of polish from third-party developers. Like Eltima’s other applications, Commander One has a well-designed user interface that blends in with macOS styling. Rather than dragging from one window to another, or from one tab to another, files can be dragged from one side of the window to another, simplifying the file-dragging dance that so often accompanies file management in Finder. This allows the user to pull up two different folders in the same Finder window, simplifying file transfers. The headline feature is the dual-pane file browser. Like other Finder replacement applications, Commander One takes file browsing on macOS and enhances it dramatically. What Is Commander One All About?Ĭommander One is a Finder replacement application for macOS. If you’re a macOS power user, you’ll want to check out a Finder replacement app. They can provide more functionality than Finder, catering to specific needs of specific classes of users. That’s where Finder replacement apps like Commander One come in. If you’ve ever been frustrated by Finder’s limitations, you know that’s true. But there’s so much that Finder simply cannot do. Features are limited, but it’s reliable and sturdy, functional enough to get basic jobs done. ![]() |
