They offer wines from: Argentina, Australia, Chile, England, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and the United States. Select Wines is one such agency and I was fortunate enough to be invited to a portfolio tasting. If all goes well, it is the beginning of a long and happy relationship. If they are successful that agency adds it to their portfolio and then markets it to the LDB, private stores and appropriate bars and restaurants. They might travel here and attend trade tastings with the hope that a local agency will like their product and see a niche for it in terms of variety, style, quality or price. Say a wine producer in Germany wants to sell their wines in BC. Have you ever wondered how it got from there to here? And why that wine and not another? After all, no wine store could ever carry every wine, no matter how big it was. Do you have a favourite imported wine? Perhaps one from Italy, Australia or France. ![]() Fortunately, there are quite a few great software options available to make the job a lot quicker and easier.

Unfortunately, numeric values for resist stats aren’t shown anywhere, so it is not clear whether this is worth pursuing as such.

Reflecting on the Matrix, she ponders on possible Trans influences and the character ‘Switch’. Lilly speaks of ‘genre bending’ in her 2020 Netflix interview. Lana tells us the goal of The Matrix is to be a framework of meaning and the audience is meant to decipher this meaning. The Directors continue to talk of how important aesthetics are in their movies. The popularity of movies such as The Terminator (1984) and Robocop (1987) attest to the post Blade Runner shift in Sci-Fi aesthetics. However, it went on to change the happy and family-friendly narrative of Science Fiction movies in the 1980’s. The Wachowskis tell us Blade Runner was initially criticised due to having a completely different aesthetic to what was currently popular. Blade Runner was a darker, more niche adult movie. ET was the hugely popular family-friendly movie of the time. Gibson’s Neuromancer (1984) is widely regarded as a pioneering book in the CyberPunk genre.īlade Runner (1982) vs ET (1982) was an interesting talking point at DePaul. In a 2013 discussion at DePaul University, The Wachowskis mentioned books by William Gibson had a huge influence on them. Amazon’s #1 best seller in Academic Philosophy even appears in the movie. Actors were instructed to read Simulacra and Simulation (1994) by Jean Baudrillard. Alice in Wonderland is an obvious one that likens Neo to Alice – someone going down a rabbit hole to a whole new world. The Filmmakers are very open about their numerous influences. Check out the following link for a glimpse at the official licensed book which includes incredible storyboards that formed the basis of the mythology: The Art of The Matrix. That backstory alone made the Animatrix my personal favourite non-movie Matrix media. The Animatrix gave us the backstory before the movies started – The story of how the war between Humans and machines began. All the forms of media added something new to The Matrix mythology. So much rich subject matter to explore that the story could be told over various forms of media: A trilogy of movies, video games and a web-based comic series (later condensed into two physical volumes). This virtual world is known as The Matrix – The place where the story begins and where we encounter the main characters Neo, Trinity and Morpheus. ![]() Captured humans had their minds thrust into a simulation of the real world. The machines became desperate for a power source and decided to capture humans to harvest them as a source of bioenergy. By the time the first movie starts, the war had gotten so bad, mankind had been forced underground due to inhospitable conditions on the surface. One is the real world and the other is a virtual world. Unlike the war we saw in The Terminator movies released prior to The Matrix, this war is being waged on 2 planes. The Matrix is a story set in a distant future where mankind is at war with machines. Their second movie turned out to be a movie that won them the Saturn Award for best Director, picked up 4 Academy Awards and made over $450 million in the Box Office – The Matrix. ![]() Their first movie was Bound (1996), a Mafia inspired crime thriller.

You'll instantly be able to tell if the grey has a cool blue undertone, yellow undertone, purple undertone and so on. For best success, pick your favorite grey tile first and then see the potential for other color matches. This is the great thing about grey you can pair most colors with it as most shades have undertones of other colors. These large-format bathroom tiles turn a simple design into a modern wallpaper look. Large-format wall tiles mean fewer grout lines, greater wall coverage and a chic, minimal design.

You can also wipe the excess silicone with a slightly damp sponge. Remove the excess silicone caulk with a putty knife or your fingers. Also note that the thickest layer of silicone must be along the corners of the shower. Apply a thin layer and use a caulk gun for best results. Warm gray tiles also pair beautifully with the subtle colorations of natural limestone and marble. Apply silicone caulk over the seams between the shower tiles. ![]() Warm gray colors are soothing and calming. The pale wood trestle vanity gives a Scandi style to this smart gray bathroom.

You can still have a section where the gray tiles are laid differently also, for added interest. Going big will actually create the illusion of space, as will less grout lines, so this look works well in smaller bathrooms. Here is some inspiration.Floor to ceiling large format tiles will give your bathroom space an enveloping, cozy and dramatic feel – in all the best ways. Use that colour for the accents in your bathroom as well! If you decide on the latter, I would just be sure that the tiles you choose for the shower are a different shape from the ones in the remainder of the bathroom. If that is not an option, you could replace only the tile in the actual shower with an accent or something that really pops. It even means you don’t need to put up with a centred drain in the middle of your shower base if that’s one of your pet peeves. I would probably splurge for new tile in the entire bathroom. Luckily, tiled showers with custom-sized shower trays give you the flexibility to be you. The shell-colored tile will make you feel like every shower is a trip to your favorite seaside destination. Even if you find the same tiles, I doubt they would be identical. For a walk-in shower look that's beach-inspired and a little bit coastal, use shimmery and imperfect white glass tile. ![]() ![]() The movement starts with the dumbbell over your chest, elbows bent 10–15 degrees (do not let this angle change throughout the entire movement).Grasp the dumbbells with your hands crossed in a diamond shape using your thumbs and pointer fingers (palms should be facing the ceiling).Your hips should ideally be at a slightly lower angle than your shoulders.Your head and neck should hang over the bench.Your feet should be flat on the floor, shoulder width apart.Lie perpendicular to the bench press, with only your shoulders supported.Use the following steps to perform this forgotten move correctly Pullovers round out the developmental picture and should be part of any chest routine – yes, even in the 21 st century. Presses and flyes are great but they don’t give you the whole picture. In other words, if your upper arm is moving in toward the front of your body, in some way, you will involve the chest. Your chest muscles control the movement of your upper arm at the shoulder joint. Maximizing muscular development requires hitting the muscles’ different functions through different ranges of motion and various angles. The problem is that the torque diminishes as the movement rises, so tension dissipates of the lats rather quickly.” In Praise of Pullovers Strength Coach Bret Contreras gave his two cents on the study saying, “I think the pecs are in a better position to actually move the weights, but down in the bottom position, the lats get a good stretch under load. ![]() The results demonstrated that the barbell pullover exercise emphasized the pectoralis major more than that of the latissimus dorsi. The EMG activity of the pectoralis major and that of the latissimus dorsi of the right side were measured simultaneously during the pullover exercise during both the concentric and eccentric phases of the movement. A 2011 study entitled “Effects of the pullover exercise on the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi muscles as evaluated by EMG” published in the Journal of Applied Biomechanics compared the EMG activity of pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi muscles during the barbell pullover exercise, using eight healthy males as subjects. For the answer, you can look to the research. ![]() Some debate exists as to whether or not the pullover is a chest or a back move. Modern chests seem to be lagging behind those of the classic physiques that put this move to use on a weekly basis. Maximally developed intercostal muscles will give the illusion of a bigger rib cage when taking a deep breath or holding a pose because the ribs are pulled up by the intercostal muscles. This exercise works not only the chest but also the lats, intercostals and serratus anterior (the muscles of the ribcage). The pullover was a favorite move of some of the greatest athletes of the Golden Era of bodybuilding including The Oak, Reg Park and Franco Columbu. Of the dumbbell pullover, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been quoted as saying, “You will not believe the ache in the sternum that this movement will produce! It literally forces your chest apart and forces it into new growth.” Strong words from the owner one of the most famously built chests of all-time. ![]() The first plane (code points 0 through 65535), known as the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), represents its code points via syntax U+hhhh, where each "h" represents a hexadecimal digit. To support the thousands of rarely used or obsolete characters (e.g., Egyptian Hieroglyphs) found in historic scripts, Unicode 2.0 increased its codespace to more than one million code points by introducing a new architecture based on planes and surrogates.Ī plane is a group of 65,536 code points Unicode supports 17 planes. Unicode 1.0 fixed the size of a character at 16 bits, limiting the maximum number of characters that could be represented to 65,536. Various UTF encodings have been devised, with the variable-length UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings being commonly used. Unicode-based text is encoded for storage or transmission by using a Unicode Transformation Format (UTF) encoding. The resulting standard became known as Unicode. In 1987, work began on a universal coded character set that could accommodate all of the characters of the world's living (and, eventually, dead) languages. For example, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a coded character set (e.g., hexadecimal value 41 is assigned to "A").ĪSCII is an old coded character set standard with an English language bias. Characters and UnicodeĪ character is a minimal unit of text that doesn't have a shape (a font's glyph provides the shape) and doesn't have an associated numeric value (e.g., "a" – I've placed this character in double quotes to signify its abstractness).Ī character set is a collection of characters, and a coded character set is a character set in which code points (numeric values) are associated with characters. Adding cast operators: notĮxpression byte i = (byte) + (short) + (double) 2000 first casts 32-bit integer 2000 to a double-precision floating-point value, then applies the unary plus (identity) operator to the result (leaving the result unchanged), then casts the double-precision floating-point value to a 16-bit short integer, then applies the unary plus operator to the result, and finally casts the short integer to an 8-bit byte integer before assigning the result to i. Instead, I'm going to show you that not every value that can be assigned to a char variable denotes a character. For example, did you know that Java lets you declare a class within an interface, as in interface A ? Also, were you aware that you can "add" cast operators together in an assignment statement such as byte i = (byte) + (short) + (double) 2000 ? (You're not really adding cast operators.) Neither of these oddities is the subject of this post. ![]() Just when you thought you knew everything there is to know about the Java language, along comes something new to challenge your sense of complete mastery. ![]() Murray for the NY PostĪnd while Brooklyn doesn’t have to worry about Irving’s free agency, they still have a number of calls to make on that front, too, starting with Johnson. They’ll field a host of offers this summer, and will have to decide who to move to balance out their needs at guard and center.Ĭam Johnson’s skills on the wing are some of the most prized attributes in the NBA, a reality that is expected to prompt Johnson to seek a new contract worth at least $18 million per season. In a wing’s league, the Nets not only start three - Bridges, Cam Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith - but have Harris, Royce O’Neale, Yuta Watanabe (and Ben Simmons) coming off their bench. And the Nets must keep developing him into a player who can come into next season with a legitimate chance at being an All-Star. must continue to find the best ways to maximize Bridges. But he always makes the right play, too if he’s not getting the bucket for himself, he’s making a play for somebody else.” “Offensively, he can definitely carry the load for us. “They don’t use this term for basketball, but is a five-tool type of basketball player, where he does just a little bit of everything,” Joe Harris said. He’s seen his usage rate skyrocket, and Brooklyn has even used him as a primary ballhandler, letting him play-make along with point guard Spencer Dinwiddie. Murray for the NY Postīridges was averaging 25.5 points on white-hot 52.6/48.1/92.2 shooting splits entering Thursday’s Milwaukee tilt, the first player in NBA history to score 25 points on 50/40/90 shooting splits through his first 10 games with a new team. The Nets have been surprised at how expansive Mikal Bridges’ offensive game is, and have added some sets for him that they previously ran for Kevin Durant. But the way he’s leveled up his offense is the most encouraging sign for what he can be for the Nets.Īs Vaughn and the coaching staff have learned what Bridges can do, they’ve baked in some mid-range looks at the elbow for him the same way they did for Durant, analytics be damned. That, plus his infectious personality, makes him a building block. He’s also an ironman, having not missed a single game since his junior season - in high school. Sources have said the Nets are “pleasantly surprised” with how Bridges has elevated his game. It’s really been a joy to be around him and learn him as an individual.” ![]() He gives of his time, of his knowledge in the locker room, during the games. “He’s the ultimate competitor,” Vaughn said. The non-negotiable centerpiece of the Durant trade - the one the Suns refused to budge on last summer - was Mikal Bridges. The Nets are assuredly not making all those draft selections themselves, but would they use picks, the trade exception, current players, etc., to get back in the market for a star as soon as this summer? Building Bridges Though he no longer has two of the NBA’s biggest superstars to build around, Nets GM Sean Marks does have 11 future first-round picks between now and 2029. The rest of this season should inform exactly what they need, the cost of getting it and the timeline for acquiring it. How will the Nets use all of those assets? ![]() Unlike the first time Marks rebuilt - bereft of draft picks - now the Nets are armed with the fourth-most draft capital from 2023-29: a total of 11 first-round picks and eight second-rounders, as well as a team-record $18.1 million trade exception, currently the biggest in the league. Asset allocationĪ source described Marks and Nets team owner Joe Tsai as being “in lockstep.” Another told The Post that “ownership has full confidence in that front office to build for the future.” With 15 games left in the regular season - and an undetermined amount in the postseason - Brooklyn will be weighing how to attack that future. That’s what they’ll spend the rest of this season and into the offseason doing. Now comes the rest: Filling in the rest of the picture. The Nets have made all their big decisions, trading Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, then extending coach Jacque Vaughn and keeping GM Sean Marks. |
