![]() ![]() How does marking Juneteenth express our values as Americans? Why is it important for all Americans to mark this holiday? An observer who wrote about it said that Brazos River ran with blood of those who were shot by the slaveowners as they tried to go across it. I don’t know what you people are talking about.’ Some of the enslaved in Galveston ran away to try to get free and they tried to cross the Brazos River into Louisiana. ![]() When the order was announced, many went to their masters and said ‘well, we’re free now,’ and they were happy and celebrating and the masters said ‘forget about it. There’s a river between Louisiana and Texas called the Brazos River. But there also was a lot of bloodshed over the announcement. On the one hand, it is important to recognize that people who were still enslaved after the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t know that they were supposed to be free, and this is something that should be corrected in our history. The Juneteenth holiday doesn’t change anything in the present, but it was a change for the people in Texas at the time. Government often does that: If they can’t accomplish what they originally intended, they try to do something to show the people who are concerned that they’re still interested in them. We know that the holiday was announced in 2021 in part because the Congress could not pass the George Floyd Act after Floyd was murdered by police in May of 2020. Segal Professor of American Social Thought and professor of history emerita, discusses the history of Juneteenth.īerry: There’s a bit of ambivalence among some people about Juneteenth being a federal holiday. In the film, Mary Frances Berry, the Geraldine R. It’s also a more racialized holiday and the way that we think about race in the story of America plays into this a lot because for a long time, we have not wanted to acknowledge the salience of race. Juneteenth is an interesting counterpart to July 4, because rather than marking national independence, it’s individual freedom. Juneteenth is a celebration of those ideals. We tried to reintegrate the Confederates into American life, and the cost of that was suppressing the ideals that we fought for. We took some steps towards taking the property of the Confederates and redistributing it, but then we went back on it and notoriously didn’t do it, which is part of the reason that Reconstruction fails. But after the Revolution, we drove the Loyalists out of the country, we took their property and redistributed it and wrote the Loyalists out of our national culture so that everyone who remained in America was on the side of the patriots in 1776. ![]() ![]() Interestingly, the revolution was strongly supported by about a third of the population, almost a third was against it, and a third was in the middle. The main problem is that a lot of the country identifies with the losing side in the Civil War and that makes it harder to say the Union were the good guys and the Confederates were the bad guys. Acknowledging that it’s the Civil War that really brought freedom on an individual level is something that we’ve been very reluctant to do. Then we identify with the people who defeated the rebels in the Civil War and we say those people brought us freedom, but we don’t focus on that as much as we focus on the Revolution. Roosevelt: We have this very strange understanding of American history where we identify with the rebels in the Revolutionary War, and we say those people brought us freedom. Why did it take so long for an official holiday to be created to mark Juneteenth? Penn Today reached out to Berry and Roosevelt to discuss the holiday’s history, why it matters to all Americans, and how it was one landmark on the road to true liberty for all. “Educators throughout the country have expressed to me how excited they are to use the film and the accompanying teacher-developed lesson plans in their classrooms.” We created ‘Juneteenth’ with that goal in mind,” says Andrea “Ang” Reidell, director of outreach and curriculum at APPC’s Leonore Annenberg Institute for Civics. “Annenberg Classroom’s mission is to provide free, nonpartisan, high-quality civic education resources to educators, students, and the general public.

A post-film discussion will follow online and will include historian and film participant Eric Foner of Columbia University.

The originators of the Vermilion Yacht Club were all former members of the Cleveland Yacht Club seeking a more secluded anchorage.īesides the obviously great boat dockage and the beach on the Lake, the uniqueness of the Lagoons is in the uniformity of the architecture of all buildings found there. Wells deeded the land on the tip and south side of Anchorage Way to the Yacht Club with one stipulation - no alcoholic beverages could be served or sold on the premises of the club itself. At times, this has indeed meant being in the water rather than by the water.Īlong with the residential development came the recreational in the form of the Vermilion Yacht Club. To the townspeople of Vermilion, the people of the Lagoons were often known as "swamp dwellers" or "swamp rats." They were also thought to be slightly crazy for wanting to live so close to the water. Another "building boom" began during this period and it was at this time that Park Drive, the last road to be developed, experienced growth. The Lagoons was not mostly permanent residents until the 1950s. The first year-round residents, the Lester Kishman family, moved into their new home in April of 1937. A "building boom" took place in the mid 1930s and by 1940 all of the houses on Anchorage Way, at least one house on Willow Lane, and most of the houses on the portion of Portage Drive located on the north side of the Erie Lagoon had been constructed. Comstock, a real estate salesman and employee of Wells Realty Company. The first house was located just to the south and west of the beach house on the Erie Lagoon and belonged to a Mr. By 1931 the first house and the beach house had been built and the lagoons were dredged and most of the wooden piling secured. Louis Wells, a Cleveland contractor, began the Vermilion Lagoons project as a means of keeping his men busy during the Great Depression of the 1930s. ![]() ![]() ![]() uses accordions inside a main navigation menu to display subnavigation. This design feels like a “submenu” inside a larger menu. When the primary navigation is hidden inside a pull-down menu, a simple way to implement subnavigation is to use accordions for the primary categories, with each accordion expanding to expose its corresponding subcategories. Accordions (aka “submenus”) inside a main navigation menu, such as a hamburger menu.There are four common ways to design subnavigation on mobile: Discoverability: Users should be able to find the subnavigation UI quickly, with no chance of confusing it with the main navigation.If, on the contrary, most visitors will “live” in a single section of the site (say, the sports section of a newspaper), then the subnavigation should focus on supporting that pattern. Typical-path support: If, within a single session, users are likely to jump from a page in one section to another one in a completely different area of the site, subnavigation should make it easy.That means few taps, little scrolling, and zero page loads if possible. ![]() Minimum interaction cost: Users should be able to access an element of interest in the navigation with as little effort as possible. ![]() When designing subnavigation, aim for the following design goals: Subnavigation: Design Goalsĭefinition: Subnavigation refers to the navigation UI that helps users access lower-level categories in the site’s information architecture (IA). Plus, some of the visual structure afforded by the two-dimensionality of the megamenu will not be easily apparent on mobile, simply because not all subcategories will be visible at the same time. While Cisco’s desktop site can display 30 or more subcategories in its mega menus fairly comfortably, without forcing users to scroll, those categories will not easily fit on a single mobile screen. How should these expandable menus be translated on mobile? The small screen size cannot easily accommodate many subcategories. The mega menu is visually divided into three columns (Products, Solutions, Services) and also contains a list of tabs at the bottom (Enterprise, Service Provider, Small and Medium Businesses ). On mouse hover, each primary category expands as a megamenu with corresponding level-2 and level-3 subcategories. : The desktop site uses a horizontal navigation bar holding the primary categories. While lower-level categories are often shown on desktop in dropdown menus or mega menus, presenting these subcategories on mobile devices is not always straightforward. Many websites have fairly complex information architectures, with many levels of categories. ![]() ![]() ![]() I tap it in with the lightly misted highlighter brush and blend.” “For maximum glow, I lightly mist the Westman Atelier Highlighter Blending Brush with the Chanel Hydra Beauty Essence Mist, apply Hollywood Flawless Filter to the highest points of the face or areas you want to blur and illuminate like above the brow bone, on the brow bone, cheekbones, center of the nose, jawline and Cupid’s bow.“It looks so natural on, gives the skin that healthy glowing-from-within look that’s flattering on everyone.”Įven more: Below, Dalí-Trites provides this pro technique that “creates complexion that looks naturally flawless, glowing, and effortless.” She opts for the formula when she wants to achieve an effortless, glowing complexion. “It’s the marriage between a liquid highlighter and a real-life filter that helps blur and illuminate the skin,” celebrity makeup artist Carolina Dalí-Trites tells Vogue. After some research, it seemed the answer is a little bit of everything. ![]() With so many endorsements touting different benefits floating around, I was intrigued by the Hollywood Flawless Filter but didn’t want to take the plunge until I had figured out what exactly this product was meant to do. Some apply it under their foundation, others wear it on its own-ditching foundation altogether-and some consider it their highlighter of choice. The product seemed to be a mainstay in the routines of all the It girls, from Adele to the singer-songwriter Griff and now, two years later, it’s still buzzy. And like one’s cheekbones following an application of the highlighter product, the reviews were glowing. As I became TikTok-obsessed at the height of the pandemic, it seemed I couldn’t go ten videos without seeing my fellow beauty-lovers posting a Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter review. ![]() ![]() While I haven’t played 6, I have a hard time imagining a game that gets bigger for tower defense than Bloons TD 5. I could write a ten page article just about the strengths and weaknesses of all the troops, but know there are a LOT.īloons TD 5 is probably a great choice for the Switch due to the sheer vastness of the game. There are also monkeys with mortars, gatling guns and pirate ships, and so, so much more. ![]() The monkeys, to their credit, have a nice variety to them as well, from dart throwers to glue gunners to magicians, pilots, submarine captains and superheroes. Let too many balloons reach the other side of the map and it’s game over. The balloons start simple, and then grow more complex, becoming multi-layered (more darts to pop them), camouflaged (invisible to some monkeys), armor plated (must be exploded before popped) and, eventually, turning into veritable zeppelins that release tons of balloons when popped. I could have just as easily not reviewed the game and continued playing it on the long train rides when my Switch is at home, but I wanted to see how this console version played.īloons, as the games go, put you in charge of an ever growing army of monkeys with darts, and there are balloons you must pop. Why on earth would Ninja Kiwi choose to focus on an old entry and not the newest? Well, frankly, number five is where they really hit their sweet spot: the amount of time and investment with reward coming back to developer and player was perfected here, and there’s a reason that I chose to review this game despite having it on my iPhone: because it’s fun. You may not realize, however, that the fifth game was originally published back in 2011 and the sixth version only came out this year. The only thing I will say is that I’m shocked as to the quality of the port.īloons TD 5 is, as you may have guessed, the fifth installation into a series of games made by Ninja Kiwi. So I’m not surprised to see that one of the most popular tower defense games, Bloons TD 5, get a Nintendo Switch port. Being able to fight of hordes of ENTER THING HERE and be a successful hero is intrinsically rewarding.

However, very specific names are necessary for the random texture feature to work without problems. In this case, you need to rename the blocks and items to give them a new look. As you probably already know you can do some things at the anvil. With blocks and items, it’s a bit different, because here you need an anvil. This happens automatically with mobs and you don’t have to do anything for it. In simple terms, this means that blocks, items and mobs have several different designs. It is possible to add random textures to OptiFine texture packs. Minecraft 1.18.2 is an update to Minecraft which was released on February 28, 2022.

Ancient story mentions both gods and men who were honoured by Hades with the temporary use of this helmet. 845), and later traditions stated that this helmet was given him as a present by the Cyclopes after their delivery from Tartarus. He possessed a helmet which rendered the wearer invisible ( Il. 61, &c.), and it was only the oaths and curses of men that reached his ears, as they reached those of the Erinnyes. 31.) But when Hades was in his own kingdom, he was quite unaware of what was going on either on earth or in Olympus ( Il.

In the division of the world among the three brothers, Hades obtained "the darkness of night," the abode of the shades, over which he rules. He was married to Persephone, the daughter of Demeter. Hades is a son of Cronus and Rhea, and a brother of Zeus and Poseidon. The etymology of Hades is uncertain: some derive it from a-idein, whence it would signify "the god who makes invisible," and others from hadô or chadô so that Hades would mean "the allembracer," or "all-receiver." The Roman poets use the names Dis, Orcus, and Tartarus as synonymous with Pluton, for the god of the lower world.

He was depicted as either Aidoneus, enthroned in the underworld, holding a bird-tipped sceptre, or as Plouton (Pluton), the giver of wealth, pouring fertility from a cornucopia. Haides was depicted as a dark-bearded, regal god. However, since she had tasted of the pomegranate seed, she was forced to return to him for a portion of each year.

Haides was devoured by Kronos (Cronus) as soon as he was born, along with four of his siblings. Haides was also the god of the hidden wealth of the earth, from the fertile soil with nourished the seed-grain, to the mined wealth of gold, silver and other metals.

I have been an enthusiastic fan of Vonnegut since my younger days, but I admit that of the six texts being considered in the academia of Salo University, I had never read Mother Night, very likely for the reason that it is not science fiction and hence did not attract the attention of a science nerd like myself. Kurt Vonnegut’s first two books, Player Piano and Sirens of Titan, can arguably be categorized as science fiction, but Mother Night is a distinct departure from that genre.
