![]() ![]() The Spirit of Vengeance hosted by Danny Ketch comes out of the wreckage on a bike with flaming wheels to match the hellfire on Ghost Rider's skull. The ground shakes and a light pours from the junkyard as the assassins throw grenades into the wreckage. It should not be there, but Daniel drags his sister to the bike. Headlights from dead cars light the blackness and Daniel sees a motorcycle in the heap. The assassins have the young Joker, Paulie, with a katana at her throat Barbara is dying, Danny is scared, and the junkyard starts to light up. The assassins try to coax him out by telling him they only want to help, but Daniel is scared so much blood, Barb's blood, is on his hands. Scared and telling himself he would save Barbara, Daniel pulls her into a large pile of wreckage. The masked assassins found the Joker, Paulie, with the briefcase, near the spot where Daniel was trying to hide his injured sister. Deathwatch splits up his men to acquire the briefcase and to eliminate all witnesses. Daniel drags his sister away from the assault and carries her deeper into the junkyard. The firefight continues and the Jokers steal the briefcase thinking it may be drugs or money. Seeing visitors in the graveyard, an unnamed masked assassin fires a crossbow arrow through Barbara Ketch's chest. In the ensuing battle, Barb screams as Deathwatch breaks his opponent's neck. Deathwath, expecting this turn of events, snaps his fingers calling forth masked assassins who take out one of Kingpin's men, Deathwatch kills another. Kingpin’s henchman appreciated the new player in the New York game, but killing a courier is frowned upon, and rules are rules in the underworld. The courier was carrying a briefcase and both parties want it. Deathwatch killed one of Kingpin's couriers (the gunshot) and Kingpin's men are in a heavily armed showdown with the masked villain. Unfortunately for both the Ketches and the Jokers, they stumbled on the beginnings of a war between Deathwatch and the Kingpin. The Cypress Pool Jokers are also watching the events in the junkyard unfold. Following the sound of the gunshot, Danny, going along with his big sister, finds himself at the edge of the graveyard staring down into Gallagher's Junkyard next door. Barbara Ketch does not need her brother's help. Barb thinks it is something exciting and she has a camera, Danny does not have her enthusiasm and wants to leave. The Jokers run off and Barb and Danny continue toward the gravesite until a gunshot and scream stop their trek. After making fun of Danny and the fact he almost jumped out of his skin because of silly masks, they attempt to steal the camera bag strapped over his shoulder, but Barb is too quick for them and fights off the teens. While walking through the graves, a group of masked teenagers calling themselves the Cypress Pool Jokers jump from behind the tombstones and scare Barb and Danny. Ignoring Daniel's pleas, Barbara insists on seeing the psychics attempt to contact the magician, Houdini, from beyond the grave-with pictures for proof. One year previous, five kids from Rockwood disappeared here and Daniel is, rightfully, scared. Cypress Hills is known for its cemeteries this cemetery, however, is one of the most notorious for tales of witchcraft, cults, and religious fanatics child abductions have been attributed to all the above. ![]() Daniel continues to try and talk Barbara out of the excursion as he follows along with the camera bags. Barbara Ketch drags her younger brother, Daniel into the Cypress Hills Cemetery to visit Harry Houdini's grave.

![]() ![]() This is a much easier process than using a paring knife or vegetable peeler to mince your onion. A peeler comes in handy when you need finely cut pieces of an onion for a hearty bowl of beef stroganoff. Just cut an onion in half, hold the hand-cut part of the onion towards the peeler, and move it in a back and forth motion. There are plenty of tips and tricks out there for slicing onions conveniently. The sharpened blade on your gadget will take care of the rest of the peeling process! All you’ve got to do is hold the zucchini at a downward angle and peel away while holding your peeler in a comfortable position. What do you call a vegetable peeler that allows you to make zucchini noodles without the need for a spiralizer or a mandoline? Versatility at its finest! Zucchini noodles and ribbon salads both pose as great alternatives for pasta and a low-carb one at that. ![]() Using your peeler from the top to the bottom of the celery stalk juts out the stringy bits and allows them to fall out. Vegetables with a slightly softer texture such as celery are great to munch on for a quick snack, but let’s be honest, the stringy nature of this vegetable can get stuck on your teeth. The same goes for apples & carrots! These vegetables require a delicate hand on their skin, and the right peeler would adapt to the task instinctively. While peeling the skin of an apple, a good peeler would ensure that you’re not breaking it away from the actual nutritious components of the fruit and allow you to work with fruits and vegetables that have softer textures. When you grab your peeler, it is important to make sure that you don’t peel away parts of the fruit or vegetable when peeling the skin. Most importantly, a kitchen knife won’t help you peel the skin, let alone the entire potato. In this scenario, find yourself caught up in the middle of a kitchen mishap. If you don’t slow down near them, you’re going to hurt yourself. They act as speed-breakers on a steady highway. They can also make it difficult for you to peel potatoes seamlessly. A large potato eye is single-handedly the biggest inconvenience, second only to plenty of small ones all over your potato. Your potato peeler should be used first and foremost as a potato eye remover. Versatility in your potato peeler is everything! Your potato peeler should allow you to do the following efficiently: Or, one that comes with a set of replacement blades made with a high-quality metal such as Japanese stainless steel, and a potato eye remover. What you should look for in your potato peeler goes beyond an ultra sharp blade that is made with stainless steel. A potato peeler isn’t as one-dimensional as it is made out to be, and I’m more than happy to enlighten you on the ‘how's’ and ‘why’s of that. If you’re familiar with Dalstrong, you must know by now that we value versatility. This is your sign to take a closer look at the everyday gadgets in your kitchen. That is probably because this gadget is smaller compared to other kitchen accessories and essentials such as knives or cutting boards. Why Everyone Needs a Potato PeelerĬhances are, you haven’t had a close look at your potato peeler including its handle and its blade recently. But first, let’s discuss a couple more thoughts that come to mind. A vegetable such as a tomato would require the peeler to have a blade that is curated to peel its thin skin without damaging the pulp. But, a good potato peeler would showcase its efficiency each time you use it.Ī kitchen veggie peeler is not one-size-fits-all. A peeler is a common gadget in almost every home. This is why you probably don’t give it much thought. ![]() Investing in a good veggie peeler for your kitchen is necessary before you can move on to cutting them up for a good char on the grill. A good potato peeler removes the outer layer of the fruit or vegetable efficiently, as well as other blemishes such as a potato eye. These blades are usually made of stainless steel for durability and sturdiness which would prevent mishaps while peeling over your cutting board, while in the kitchen. You might know it better by the name of a vegetable scraper.Ī peeler has a metal blade attached to it, which acts as a ‘slot’. And hey, the best vegetable on planet earth deserves the best tools to treat it right.

The breach raised concerns about the apparent ease with which the boy was able to get into the arms of such a powerful animal. This is a huge loss for the zoo family and the gorilla population worldwide.” “We are all devastated that this tragic accident resulted in the death of a critically endangered gorilla. “The zoo security team’s quick response saved the child’s life,” the zoo’s director, Thane Maynard, said. A tranquilizer would have taken several minutes to neutralize the animal, prolonging the risk. The zoo said in a statement that the use of lethal force had been a difficult decision. In the past 47 years, 50 gorillas were born at the Cincinnati Zoo.The gorilla could have easily crushed the boy at any moment, however, if only by carelessness, she said. ![]() The Cincinnati Zoo "has made significant contributions to gorilla populations in zoos across the country," the news release said. Jomo is 26.Īccording to the zoo, there are less than 175,000 Western lowland gorillas worldwide, with about 765 residing in zoos. The only other male gorilla in Gorilla World is Jomo, who already fathered two female gorillas. Mshindi is the first addition to the Cincinnati Zoo's gorilla family since Harambe's death. "In addition, he and his lineage are part of an ongoing breeding program." At the time, Maynard said plans were underway to double the size of Gorilla World. "It's not the end of his gene pool," he said. ![]() Harambe was killed one day after his 17th birthday, meaning he'd not yet reached breeding maturity, according to zoo Director Thane Maynard. The Cincinnati Zoo is a key player in gorilla breeding and conservation, and Maynard said reproductive biologists had collected viable sperm from Harambe to help his endangered species in its genetic diversity. Zoo officials said the safest option was to shoot the gorilla to save the boy. Harambe approached the boy, grabbed his leg and dragged him through the water. You may recall that Harambe, also a male Western Lowland Gorilla, was killed two summers ago when a 3-year-old fell into the Gorilla World moat. Female gorillas Chewie and Mara will join him soon, where they'll remain until Gorilla World closes on Oct. When working with highly intelligent animals like the great apes, it’s imperative for keepers from both zoos involved in a transfer to collaborate and exchange detailed information to ensure a smooth transition.”įor now, Mshindi is alone in the outdoor exhibit, the news release said. “Mshindi has settled in nicely,” said Ron Evans, Cincinnati Zoo’s Curator of Primates, in the news release. “We worked closely with Louisville Zoo’s gorilla staff to learn Mshindi’s trained behaviors for body presentations and health exams and to get familiar with his likes and dislikes. Another male gorilla was chosen to lead Mshindi's family group in Louisville, the release said, so Mshindi was sent to Cincinnati. He came to Cincinnati by way of the Louisville Zoo he was specifically chosen to come to Cincinnati based on "genetics, personalities and social needs," according to a news release from the zoo. ![]() Mshindi, a 29-year-old Western Lowland Silverback Gorilla, is now at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's outdoor Gorilla World habitat. CINCINNATI - There's a new male silverback gorilla in town. ![]() ![]() Used appropriately, mix-bus compression can be another tool for adjusting the overall balance of your mix, giving you 'glue' to help meld sounds together and make the overall mix balance sound more cohesive. Experienced mastering engineers know that compression and limiting after the mix is complete can result in negative mix balance issues, so they do so with the utmost care. Applying compression after the mix is complete thus risks changing the balance you have carefully set up, so unless you mixed into a compressor from the start, compressing the mix is best left to the mastering engineer. The point is that the same set of fader settings will actually produce a different mix balance depending on whether you apply compression, and how much. The whole idea behind this technique is that you are mixing through the compressor from the beginning of the mix process you are carving your mix, dynamically speaking, through the compressor, and monitoring the compressor's output. For our purposes, using 'mix-bus compression' means mixing into, or through, a stereo compressor that is inserted onto the main mix bus before the signal passes to the master recorder and monitor speakers. To set the record straight, there is a huge sonic difference between mixing into a stereo compressor from the outset versus slapping a stereo compressor on the mix bus just before you print a mix. The main question to be answered is: Is mix compression right for your mixing style? In this article, we're going to explain what consequences compressing the mix bus will have for your music, what its sonic advantages may be, and how best to set up a compressor in this context. There are also many misconceptions about how and why mix-bus compression is used, and if used incorrectly, it can diminish a lot of hard work. After all, some great mixers swear by using mix-bus compression, while others prefer to keep the mix bus pure. Mix-bus compression can be a confusing topic for inexperienced mixers and engineers. We lead you through the minefield that is mix compression. Mit Bahn und Bus und SBahn getestet, durch die Polsterung kann ich es auch mal schnell hinstellen, ohne dass etwas passiert.Compressing the stereo bus can give your music coherence, smoothness and, above all, punch - but there are plenty of pitfalls for the unwary. ![]() Super sind die Griffe an den Enden, ich hätte erst nicht gedacht, dass ich die benutzen würde, aber sie sind so praktisch, dass ich keine Tasche mehr ohne möchte.

But, Angel deserves the credit it gets for being one of the first fragrances to achieve a genius balance between sweet and edgy. And, to many people, Angel smelled similar to Nirmala, a fragrance launched by Molinard in 1955. In 1978, L’Artisan Parfumeur launched Vanilia, the first fragrance to use sweet ethyl maltol. However, Angel‘s unofficial title as the first gourmand has not gone uncontested. Get the best deals for vanilia lartisan at. This fragrance achieves a delicate balance between sweetness and elegance, containing notes of ethyl maltol, a synthetic scent of cotton candy and caramel, along with natural patchouli, sweet red fruits, and a floral base.

It can take the form of spanking, grabbing, hitting, or shaking.Īccording to national survey data from 2014, as many as 37% of children in the United States are punished by spanking annually. Overall, leaders who punished consistently, fairly, and without a motive for revenge were trusted more than those who did not punish.Ĭorporal, or physical, punishment is one of the most well-known forms of positive punishment.

It might prevent the need for more serious punishments later in life, too. Punishment may also serve as a way to instill social norms and values into children.Īccording to what’s known as control theory, criminal behaviors are most likely to occur when immediate rewards like money, adventure, or fun outweigh the risks of being caught.Īdministering small punishments throughout childhood may help teach morality and correct misbehavior. If you eat something spoiled and get sick, for example, you might be more careful about checking expiration dates next time. Much of what you learn through life can come from natural punishment.

She instructed me that it was the same vehicle and I was being charged $2,000 for market adjustment for being an out of state customer. I emailed her back and told her I was interested in that one for $43,430. I got on their website and looked at the same vehicle and it was listed for $43,430. After several emails I asked what the price was and she told me $45,430. They were showing roughly six new vehicles on their website and had none in stock, which seems to be the current standard for car dealerships. Įmailed Alison Rowland several times back and forth about a Honda pilot. This *2018 Kia Soul !* is loaded with convenient features like: Backup Camera, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM, Fog Lamps, Clean CarFax, Remote. If you do decide to go here, before making any purchase I’d recommend calling other Kia dealerships to compare.Located in Cincinnati, OH / 37 miles away from Dayton, OH So my advice is don’t believe what you see on their website, don't believe their sticker prices as none of that seems to matter, they can and might decide to change the price once you arrive at the dealership. A simple text, call or "we are greedy notice" would have been welcomed. I guess I moved too fast, showed too much interest in the vehicle, but a $10,000 markup is nothing but pure greed, especially when you proudly display a “code of ethics” sign on the wall. At least with options you actually get something. Says this is a hot car and other dealerships are doing it or adding options. Huh, so the sticker price isn’t correct now? The price on the website isn’t correct? Thinking I might be in for a small markup, the salesperson comes back with a $10,000 markup added to MSRP. When I get there, the salesperson informs me the sales manager is going to add a markup to the sales price. I drove 1.5 hours to this dealership ready to purchase the vehicle. ![]() I knew I found a hot car and that I got very lucky finding it so I looked at their website several times, looked at the Sticker Price several times, read dealer notes, called and spoke to a sales person and knew I needed to move on it quickly so I left work early. Usually I have a found that a dealership will post their markup and dealer add-ons on their website, add it to the sticker price, or note it in the dealer options on the Kia website or their own website, basically not hide the fact they are going to overcharge you simply because they were the lucky dealership to get a hot car. Having been in this post-pandemic, chip shortage, car-buying experience for a while now, I have spent endless hours looking at dealerships, cars, sticker prices, markups, dealer add-ons, etc. You can tell a lot about a business by how they operate during difficult times and from all the dealerships I have spoken too, Southwest Kia of Rockwall, was by far, one of the greediest of them all. ![]() ![]() EPA 30 MPG Hwy/24 MPG City!

Perks and benefitsĪs an organization, do you promote work-life balance? Do you promote the culture of flexible hours? Do you encourage employees to take a step forward toward their well-being? Now, let’s explore the aspects of surface culture: 1. Such visible aspects of an organization's culture usually provide clues about what the organization believes is crucial and how the organization is run. These are the perceptions formed by people based on what they see, hear, or feel about organizational culture and leadership. There is no dress code, I love wearing my shorts to the office, and the flexible work hours are just bliss!" or similar things. Whenever you ask someone, "What's the work culture like?" you’re most likely to hear answers like "Oh, it's cool, we have an amazing game room, loaded snack counters, free pizzas, etc." or "I love it! Let's now deep dive into these various layers of culture - both surface and deeper - and understand how it helps achieve organizational goals. While some aspects of culture are easily perceived from the outside, often called the surface culture, what forms the foundation of a strong culture is often submerged, deeper in the values and beliefs of the organization, called the " deeper culture."Īspects like workplace ambience, dress code, systems, policies, and processes are visible on the surface but elements like shared values and beliefs, attitudes towards authority, competition, and underlying assumptions form the deeper culture. Like an iceberg, company culture has the characteristic of being highly disproportionate in its actual visibility. In 1976, Edward T Hall developed the ‘Iceberg Model of Culture’ and explained that organizational culture is like an iceberg found in polar seas. The model helps assess how well an organization's cultural values align with the goals and solve performance problems. The iceberg model of culture is a framework that allows you to measure your organizational culture. What is Organizational Culture and How Can it Drive Organizational Success Now that you have a clearer picture of the iceberg theory of culture, let's understand how it can help drive organizational success. No wonder an organization's culture is a common denominator that differentiates the best-performing organizations from the rest. Ultimately, these become visible only through the way people act, the words they use, the laws they enact, and how they communicate. These are majorly learned ideas of what's good, bad, right, wrong, desirable, undesirable, acceptable, and unacceptable. ![]() Simply put, it’s an organization’s ideologies or core values. However, the reality is that they are just an external manifestation of broader and deeper components of culture: the intricate ideas, deeply ingrained priorities and preferences known as values and attitudes.ĭeep below the 'water line' lies an enormous, invisible mass, which holds every ingrained cultural assumption that's too difficult to affect. People often perceive culture as the various observable characteristics of a specific company that they *see* with their eyes-perks, benefits, dress code, office environment, amenities, location, and people. Think of organizational culture in the same way. doi:10.When you see an iceberg, the portion visible above water is only a smaller part of a larger whole. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc.

I don't love an overly-sweet dessert, but I'd say this one wasn't sweet enough. In terms of the vanilla flavor, it was hardly there. Like, so hard I had to chew it - and remember, I took all of these ice creams out of the fridge at the same time to let them thaw a bit. For a brand known for their rich and creamy vanilla ice cream (heck, I've heard lots of people swear that their vanilla is the best vanilla!), I found it to be aggressively hard. On top of the seriously disappointing cookie situation, I found the ice cream itself to be totally lackluster. Let's be real, if they're generous with their chocolate cookies, they're probably not going to rip you off on their cookie dough or cake batter or chocolate chips. To that end, I concluded that the individual flavors of the various elements would be easy to distinguish from one another, and I also realized that cookies 'n' cream would likely be a great barometer for how much each brand gives you when it comes to the mix-ins. The Oreo-adjacent chocolate cookies are also a relatively straightforward mix-in - no swirls of anything, and nothing complicated.The vast majority of ice cream brands out there use a simple vanilla base for their cookies 'n' creams, so I figured that this flavor would be a solid indicator of the overall quality of the vanilla ice cream itself - how smooth and creamy it is, its general sweetness level, and if it delivers in the flavor department.Why cookies 'n' cream? I've got two reasons in particular: And when we start to enter the world of ice cream flavors with mix-ins, things can get pretty wild.Īll roads and schools of thought led me back to one flavor in particular, which just so happens to be my personal favorite: cookies 'n' cream. Other products I've taste-tested, like marinara sauce and boxed mac 'n' cheese, are pretty limited in their flavor offerings.but ice cream flavors? The limit does not exist. While pondering ice cream flavors to test, I struggled more than I usually do. ![]() |
