2000 nostalgia11/30/2023 The inspirations for Slayyyter’s forthcoming album, Troubled Paradise, include Avril Lavigne and Fergie-though her beats are too gnarled and her lyrics are too filthy to be mistaken for TRL fare.īy reclaiming onetime-mainstream sounds with a sense of defiance, this music reflects a common childhood experience for Zoomers and Millennials: earnestly loving the media trainwrecks of the 2000s. Some songs on Slayyyter’s 2019 mixtape conjure an image of Spears reborn as a seek-and-destroy Terminator. Slayyyter is part of the niche but growing online music scene variously described as “ hyperpop,” “ DIY pop,” or, in some cases, just “ Y2K.” That scene’s sound draws inspiration from the candied production of, say, Backstreet Boys, but is made on laptops rather than in recording studios and features not-so-radio-friendly amounts of sonic chaos. In another context, the song might seem like a mockery of Hilton. Hilton had paired old paparazzi shots of herself with Slayyyter’s song “Celebrity,” the lyrics of which are sung from the point of view of a cocaine-snorting rich kid with a leaked sex tape. Scrolling through Hilton’s TikTok recently, I heard the purring voice of one of my favorite Gen Z musicians, the 24-year-old singer Slayyyter. If we’re in for a roaring 2020s, might the decade revive the garish fun of the 2000s but be a little smarter about it? There’s reason to be both wary and giddy about such a desire. Emerging tentatively from a pandemic and an apocalyptic political period, American culture seems hungry for a return to boom-time frivolity, but without the toxic social environment that underlaid it. The sizable audiences that pour in for each movie, podcast, and think piece about the horrors of the 2000s clearly also enjoy the trip down memory lane-a trip defined by images and songs that are now said to be the products of exploitation. Justin Timberlake even issued a vague apology to Spears and Janet Jackson, the latter of whom many people now say was unfairly scapegoated for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime-performance scandal. Jessica Simpson’s acclaimed 2019 autobiography strings together tales of misdeeds inflicted upon her by famous men. ![]() Britney Spears has become a mass-culture martyr through the #FreeBritney movement, which highlights the strange legal arrangement controlling her life today and the abusive media treatment she received in the 2000s. A 2020 YouTube documentary fleshed out her childhood trauma, played up her business acumen, and showed how becoming a national punch line after her sex tape leaked in 2004 was not an altogether happy experience. Hilton, for example, is part of a class of women experiencing widespread sympathy after being mocked, for years, as ditzes in low-rise denim. Fashion’s famous maxim that trends move in 20-year cycles continues to hold true, but this revisitation, in the way of so many recent cultural waves, coincides with a moral reckoning too. In the music world, Ariana Grande sampled ’NSync, Olivia Rodrigo released a Paramore-inspired single, and Travis Barker of Blink-182 has become one of the hot producers of the moment. TikTok users upvote videos of creaky five-disc CD changers whirring into action. Instagram models now flaunt the trucker-hat brand Von Dutch. For the past few years, Y2K-era aesthetics have edged back into hipness. Modern influencers certainly seem to think so. Maybe the 2000s don’t belong entirely in the trash? Suddenly the photo and its implications seem less sinister. It’s a small but significant difference: Hilton’s shirt was fun-sassy, not villain-sassy. She then showed the original picture as proof. Superimposing her 40-year-old present self in front of the image of her at 24-she has not aged-she explained that someone had Photoshopped the word poor on top of what had been the word desperate. Hilton corrected the record this month on TikTok. Or at least STOP BEING POOR, the real clincher (which is still inspiring memes), is. Here, in other words, was a document of obliviousness being marketed as aspirational. Here was an essay in an overlit photograph, connecting 2000s celebrity culture to Bush-era tax policies and mortgage lenders. Hilton’s bronzed midriff peeked out below her shirt’s aristocratic slogan and above the pink folds of-this isn’t a joke-a peasant skirt. The crowd around her wielded flip phones and digital cameras, then-new tech that turned normies into paparazzi. ![]() The heiress and reality-TV star grinned and threw her arms in the air in a gesture of calculated abandon. If any image captured the chaos of early-2000s pop culture, it was one viral shot of Paris Hilton, in 2005, wearing a shirt that said STOP BEING POOR. Escape simulator xbox one11/30/2023 ![]()
![]() Whether to direct supplies to Ukraine or the Pacific, however, is the wrong question to ask, because what the United States military can currently field will not secure the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. Military aid to Ukraine should therefore be prioritized, even at the risk of diminished readiness elsewhere for now. A Russia diminished and made less threatening by Ukraine will also allow for an even more decisive U.S. Others counter that Russia is China’s junior partner, and weakening Moscow will make Beijing less willing to tangle with Washington. Washington should therefore prioritize scarce resources for the Indo-Pacific theater, especially as China’s rapid military buildup increasingly endangers Taiwan. As they see it, China-not Russia-is the United States’ main adversary and biggest threat. ![]() For some, the logical conclusion is to dramatically cut back munitions deliveries and other military aid for Ukraine, starting yesterday. military would run out of missiles in less than one week. Mark Milley said recently : “One of the lessons of this war is the very high consumption rates of conventional munitions, and we are reexamining our own stockages and our own plans to make sure that we got it right.” The consequences are potentially alarming: When the Center for Strategic and International Studies recently conducted war games simulating a war over Taiwan, they revealed that the U.S. Now that the war in Ukraine has entered its second year, the United States needs to address a supply problem that is growing more acute as the war goes on: The United States’ own military does not have enough missiles, rockets, and artillery munitions for modern warfare. Apple pencil metal tip11/30/2023 ![]() After researching 45 pens and writing zealously with 26 of them, we have recommendations for ballpoint, rollerball, and gel pens that are affordable and satisfying to write with. The good news is you don’t have to spend a lot to get a pen that’s worthy of your signature. They have large grips, so they’re easier to hold, and they’re available in ballpoint, rollerball, and gel versions. You can find these metal pen tips on AliExpress and they are all quite affordable.These are the best pens for reducing hand stress. Smoother pen tips are better for writing fast. The entire current lineup supports it, from the Mini to the Pro. For writing, you should just go with HB tip or the original Apple Pencil tips which are smoother on glass. The Apple Pencil is one of the most useful tools you can add to the iPad. I prefer the 2B plastic nib which has resistance on glass and that can give you more control when drawing. I don't like how the metal tips sound on glass. If you find that you wear down your plastic tips that often, perhaps it's better to get metal tips since metal is more resistant to wear and tear. PenTips2 has slightly more resistance the 2B plastic nib shown above is more worth the money because it's way more affordable.ĢB plastic tip can draw slow diagonal lines straight without wobble.Īre metal pen tips safe on glass displays? Yes.ĭo I recommend metal pen tips? It depends. That's a huge difference from the silicone PenTips2 I reviewed recently which is US $15 each. You can find these online for less than US $1.50 each. There is noticeably more resistance than the original Apple Pencil tip. ![]() This is the 2B plastic tip is really nice. Tilt sensitivity works well with the round metal tip too. It's possible to draw straight diagonal lines slowly with the round metal tip. The round metal tip performs better than the needle tip. I pressed down hard on my iPad Pro to scratch the glass display but I could not create any scratches. Pressure sensitivity works fine but here you can see noticeable wobble with the diagonal lines.Īnother downside is tilt activates easily by tilting the pen slightly instead of much lower. Metal point is slightly smoother than the original Apple Pencil tip.ĭownside of this metal needle tip is there is wobble or jitter when drawing slow diagonal lines. What I don't like about metal tips is the sound they make when they come in contact with glass. The thin needle point allows you to see the line beneath it more easily. The metal used is copper (3 hardness) with nickel plating (4 hardness) and hence are in theory softer than glass.

Cell axon vs dendrite11/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Microfilaments and microtubules are numerous and arranged in parallel bundles throughout the perikaryon. Mitochondria are abundant, ovoid or thread like, and randomly distributed. The Golgi is diffuse and located mainly around the nucleus. In cases of neuronal injury, the perikaryon swells, the nucleus becomes eccentric and Nissl bodies disappear except peripherally (chromatolysis ). The great abundance of free ribosomes and polysomes that are located in the spaces between the rER cisternae is required to synthesis cytoplasmic protiens that continuously flow to replace proteins used up in metabolism. These basophilic masses are called Nissl bodies or chromophilic substance and are especially prominent in large neurons. The cytoplasm of the nerve cells contains large aggregations of rER that appear as deeply basophilic masses scattered throughout the different cytoplasmic regions. The female sex chromatin (Barr body) is usually evident either close to the nucleolus (cat) or the nuclear envelope (human being). ![]() With EM, a small amount of peripheral chromatin can be seen on the inner aspects of nuclear envelop. The chromatin is completely dispersed and the nucleolus is prominent (owl’s eye). The nucleus is large, spherical or ovoid and usually centrally located within the perikaryon, but in autonomic neurons it has an eccentric position. It includes the nucleus and it’s surrounding cytoplasm. They are located in the gray matter of the central nervous system, eye (rods and cones), ears (organ of Corti), olfactory mucosa, and ganglia. Each neuron is composed of cell body (perikaryon) and cell processes. It is the structural and functional unit of the nervous tissue that is specialized in excitability and conductivity. It is made up of nerve cells (neurons) and different types of supporting cells collectively known as neuroglia. The nervous tissue functions as a communication network to receive stimuli from both internal and external environment (exteroception) and subsequent transmission of signals or information (interoception) throughout the body or effector organs (muscles or glands).

However, this assumes the atom to exhibit a spherical shape, which is only obeyed for atoms in vacuum or free space. The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the distance out to which the electron cloud extends from the nucleus. It must be noted, atoms lack a well-defined outer boundary. The atomic radius of Silver atom is 144pm (covalent radius). Note that, each element may contain more isotopes, therefore this resulting atomic mass is calculated from naturally-occuring isotopes and their abundance. The atomic mass is carried by the atomic nucleus, which occupies only about 10 -12 of the total volume of the atom or less, but it contains all the positive charge and at least 99.95% of the total mass of the atom. The atomic mass or relative isotopic mass refers to the mass of a single particle, and therefore is tied to a certain specific isotope of an element. Mass numbers of typical isotopes of Silver are 107, 109. Isotopes are nuclides that have the same atomic number and are therefore the same element, but differ in the number of neutrons. The difference between the neutron number and the atomic number is known as the neutron excess: D = N – Z = A – 2Z.įor stable elements, there is usually a variety of stable isotopes. Neutron number plus atomic number equals atomic mass number: N+Z=A. The total number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is called the neutron number of the atom and is given the symbol N. The total electrical charge of the nucleus is therefore +Ze, where e (elementary charge) equals to 1,602 x 10 -19 coulombs. Total number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number of the atom and is given the symbol Z. Silver is a chemical element with atomic number 47 which means there are 47 protons in its nucleus.
