![]() ![]() Why, then, are so many of us today willing to side with our executioners and join cause with those who openly seek our destruction? We are the people who have been the paragons of survival we were the meaning of God’s first message to Moses symbolizing His people – a burning bush which was not consumed. It’s remarkable that “the lemming effect” has made such tremendous inroads into contemporary Jewish life. Strangely enough though there is in fact a human parallel – an extremely odd human behavior identified by psychiatrists as “the lemming effect” with potentially dangerous and fatal consequences, and for many Jews today it has become a shared sickness. It was just a widely popular misconception based on a misunderstanding of lemming migrations. In spite of Walt Disney lending it credibility in his famous White Wilderness documentary and Apple making it unforgettable in its 1985 Super Bowl commercial “ Lemmings ”, nature isn’t that stupid. ![]() It is amazing what one film can do to give a whole species a bad rap.Yes, lemmings do exist – but it turns out that the story about their inexplicable habit of committing mass suicide by collectively jumping off a cliff is nothing but an urban myth. Even with many factors against them, it is would not be in the best interests of species survival for hundreds of lemmings to kill themselves for no particular reason. Population density has also increased, causing much more competition for resources in a small area. Warmer and more humid climates cause their natural environment to shrink and resources to become scarcer. Climate change is also affecting lemming populations as well. This generates the appearance that the lemmings died horrifically en masse. However, the raven, a natural predator of the Lemming, tends to kill but not fully eat the lemmings a few months after lemmings reproduce. Many Lemming corpses have also been found in a small area at once, perhaps adding to the myth. It is easy for a lemming population to consume all the resources in an environment due to their mass numbers and tendency to feed on almost all vegetation. Lemmings do in fact migrate en masse, but it is only to find a new home after their previous one became overpopulated or stripped of resources. The myth mostly came to fruition because of Disney, however, it could possibly be based off of some real Lemming behavior. Therefore the whole film was probably depicting false information. Not only is the behavior depicted in the film of the Lemmings wrong, but the movie was made in Alberta, Canada, where no lemmings naturally live. According to Disney, every few years hundreds of lemmings gather to migrate to cliffs to summarily jump off and kill themselves. In the film, lemmings are shown jumping off a cliff in mass quantities. In 1958, the film “White Wilderness” was published by Disney as part of their “True Life Adventure” series. One may ask where this saying originated. They are fairly small with a body length of 10-22cm and are made the subject of a common saying in the English language about someone who would follow a crowd anywhere or do anything. They are in the same family of mice, rats, and gerbils. Lemmings ( Lemmus lemmus) are small rodents that live in the artic environment of Northern Canada and other artic biomes. ![]()

If we instead do our editing on a calibrated display, we can at least mitigate one half of the contribution to inaccuracies, making it much more likely that a photo at least looks closer to your original intention across different devices. By editing and viewing on two uncalibrated devices, you double count the effects of both inaccuracies, potentially accentuating any differences from what your original editing intention was. The photo that they see now has two contributing yellow shifts in color that are affecting your original intention: one from your edit on an uncalibrated monitor and one from theirs. Now imagine that you share this photo with a friend whose uncalibrated display is slightly more yellow than standard. You edit your photos according to what you see and as a result your photo is unknowingly edited slightly more yellow to compensate for the bluish tint. You don’t know this because you don’t have a calibrated display with which to compare it. Here’s a simplified example of how display calibration affects images across devices: Imagine that your uncalibrated display is too bluish relative to what a calibrated display should look like. Then, when you share that photo edit to another device, deviations in that device will further affect how the colors appear. If you edit a photo on an uncalibrated display, any deviations from those standards will affect your editing slightly. This problem is becoming less common with improvements in display hardware technology. As a display ages, its colors can start to shift out of its original specification. Even if a display was calibrated to a standard at the factory, displays can actually “wear in” over time. Many manufacturers don’t perform individual calibration on their displays before selling them to customers and so certain variations in manufacturing or hardware choices can create variations in how one display shows any given color relative to another. Regardless of what a display is supposedly capable of displaying, or what gamut it was built to display, there is still the issue of calibration. You can read more about color gamuts here. The 2020 M1 Macbook Pro, for example, is advertised to be able to display 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Sometimes display manufacturers will even advertise how well a display can show colors from one of these standard color gamuts such as DCI-P3, Adobe RBG or sRGB. Most manufacturers at least build their display hardware to try to hit the targets established by those standard color gamuts. At the very least, display calibration is the best assurance that your work will be displayed as close to your artistic intention as possible.ĭevice displays are built around a few common standard color gamuts that define the range of colors that a display should be capable of showing. But if you do photography professionally or work on any other form of professional visual media, or if you prioritize the sharing of your work digitally or in print, calibrating your display may be essential. If you never share your photos, never print, and don’t use your photography in a professional setting, you don’t need to calibrate your display. Let me start by saying that calibration is not always necessary. The first step in trying to mitigate dramatic differences in photo colors across devices is calibration with a tool like the SpyderX Pro. With the plethora of devices that we have access to every day, if your primary photo editing display is uncalibrated, it’s likely that your personal photography collection looks slightly different when viewed on your display than when viewed on your phone and different from what your friend would see when you share your photos with them. In this review, we take a look at Datacolor’s SpyderX Pro Colorimeter display calibration tool.ĭisplay calibration is one of those things that’s too often forgotten or ignored in the realm of digital photography. ![]() ![]() ![]() Srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup mg_armsrace +map de_dust Srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_allclassic +map de_dust Srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup mg_allclassic +map de_dust Once finished, type quit at the Steam> prompt to properly log off of the Steam servers.įor Linux you have to use.

In Devil May Cry 5, Sparda has gone through major design changes, but still kept some of its old appearance, including a thick organic hide, the curved blade and the color scheme of its guard. Dante and Trish shift the halves to create a scythe for Round Trip and point both blades forward as a spear for Stinger. Sparda's blades can reorient themselves to give Sparda various shapes to suit its needs. The other side has two significantly smaller gems, glowing orange and pink. The top portion has a large glowing red gem-like object in the center. Together the blades form one long blade when in sword mode. Force Edge's blade is replaced with a spine-like structure attached to two curved blades via an organic looking substance. In its awakened state, Sparda keeps the grip and crossguard, but the spike on the skulls is split in half, with the frontward, more elaborate half forming a small blade that curves around the bottom of Sparda's blade (in Devil May Cry, the front half is a simple hook). It has a spiral handle that leads to four skulls on the pommel with a spike at the top. The guard takes a "W" shape, vaguely resembling Sparda's horns.

While I don't suffer from anxiety, I do feel like it has helped with reducing the amount of tension that I subconsciously hold in my face. I have been battling acne for years and it tends to get worse when I'm on my period, but ever since I started using the facial roller I haven't been cursed with any horrific cysts on my cheek. The texture of my skin has never been this consistently smooth. So has Herbivore's rose quartz facial roller actually made a difference in my life? I truly believe so. ![]() If I'm not in a rush in the morning, I'll also take a few extra minutes to use the smaller end of the roller around my eyes to reduce puffiness. I typically use the rose quartz facial roller after I go through my night time skin care routine which includes a handful of facial oils and helps them submerge deeper into the skin. Lisson recommends "rolling the face from the center of the face in an outward direction" until the skin stretches. Of course, none of this works if you're not doing it properly. "The main way face rollers help the lymphatic system is when they are used to stretch facial skin in the direction of lymph nodes in front of the ears." "If refrigerated, the rollers provide a small amount of relief from swelling in the same way that an ice cube facial would, but with less mess," she says. Kathleen Lisson, a certified lymphedema therapist in San Diego, CA and author of Swollen, Bloated and Puffy, recommends facial rollers to her clients to reduce swelling. She adds, "I think it's more about the luxury of rolling a rose quartz stone over your face, and if it makes you feel good, why not?" Pulisciano points out that rose quartz can shrink pores because of its natural cooling stone properties. In general, the size of your pores is constantly in flux. ![]() "The design of the rollers and its natural coldness if refrigerated can achieve these benefits short term in my opinion." "These benefits would be minimal and short term as there is no scientific proof that the crystal has any chemical properties which can achieve these results long term," she says. Michele Green agrees that the benefits are mostly short-lived. It's not going to improve the elasticity of the skin or reduce wrinkles." "For example, you can't just roll some rose quartz on your face and expect miracles. "The benefits are the most noticeable when used as part of a full facial service," she explains.

Gina Pulisciano, an aesthetician and founder of Alchemy Holistics, uses a rose quartz facial roller when she gives clients facial treatments. ![]() After consulting several medical professionals, I was able to confirm that all of this is true. Herbivore claims that their facial rollers improve blood circulation and skin tone, elasticity of the skin, promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, wrinkles and dark under eye circles, eliminate toxins, and tighten and reduce pore size. For the past two months, I have been putting my face to the test to see if this roller enhances my life in some shape or form - is it all mental or would there actually be physical changes, as well? The first time I used the roller after cleansing and moisturizing my face, I swore that my skin was sparkling. Upon impact, the roller feels cool to the touch as you gently glide the stone across your skin. But, if I'm paying $45 for something it had better work wonders on my face. I can't deny that I mostly did it because it looks really pretty, but I'm also working on making major improvements as I pave my path in the world of wellness (so it wasn't completely in vain). I recently caved in and convinced myself I should order a rose quartz facial roller. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Simple buildings of plastered mud were the first church and dwellings until a more sturdy structure was built of wood from nearby pine and cypress trees to last through the seasonal rains. In December 1771, the transfer was complete as the new stockade of approximately 130x200 became the new Mission Carmel. Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo was founded on 3 June 1770 in the nearby settlement of Monterey, but was relocated to Carmel Valley by Junípero Serra due to interactions between soldiers stationed at the nearby Presidio and the native Indians. When Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 Carmel became Mexican territory. From the late 18th through the early 19th century most of the Ohlone population died out from European diseases (against which they had no immunity), as well as overwork and malnutrition at the missions where the Spanish forced them to live. The colony of Monterey was established at the same time as the second mission in Alta California and soon became the capital of California, remaining so until 1849. Portolà and Crespí traveled by land while Serra traveled with the Mission supplies aboard ship, arriving eight days later. The Spanish did not attempt to colonize the area until 1770, when Gaspar de Portolá, along with Franciscan priests Junípero Serra and Juan Crespí, visited the area in search of a mission site. It is thought that he named the river running through the valley Rio Carmelo in honor of the three Carmelite friars serving as chaplains for the voyage. ![]() Another sixty years passed before another Spanish explorer, Sebastián Vizcaíno discovered for Spain what is now known as Carmel Valley in 1602. The first Europeans to see this land were Spanish mariners led by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542, who sailed up the California coast without landing. Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo, established in 1770, was the headquarters of the Californian mission system from 1797 until 1833. Most scholars believe that the Esselen-speaking people were the first Native Americans to inhabit the area of Carmel, but the Ohlone people pushed them south into the mountains of Big Sur around the 6th century. ![]() The larger town of Monterey borders Carmel to the north.Īs of the 2020 census, the town had a total population of 3,220, down from 3,722 at the 2010 census.Ĭarmel-by-the-Sea is in an area permeated by Native American, Spanish, Mexican and American history. Communities near Carmel-by-the-Sea include Carmel Valley and Carmel Highlands. In 1906, the San Francisco Call devoted a full page to the "artists, writers and poets at Carmel-by-the-Sea", and in 1910 it reported that 60 percent of Carmel's houses were built by citizens who were "devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic arts." Early City Councils were dominated by artists, and several of the city's mayors have been poets or actors, including Herbert Heron, founder of the Forest Theater, bohemian writer and actor Perry Newberry, and actor-director Clint Eastwood, who served as mayor from 1986 to 1988.Ĭarmel-by-the-Sea is located on the Pacific coast, about 300 miles (480 km) north of Los Angeles and 100 miles (160 km) south of San Francisco.
