Beginning life in the Victorian era as a small decorative bag with no strap or handle, clutches were a sign of independence. In fact, clutch bags have had a longstanding place in fashion history. “The need to feel good and dressed up is stronger now more than ever and the opportunity to glam up with a sleek clutch bag serves a larger purpose overall.”ĮXCLUSIVE: Dion Lee Names James Miller CEO Of course, there’s still always an occasion for those smaller clutches when only the essentials are required.īut what does a clutch add to our wardrobes and why is it enjoying such a resurgence? “The clutch will always stand the test of time as a result of what it represents in terms of the need to feel dressed up and have a purpose to go out once again,” says Emily Blumenthal, handbag industry and design expert.

![]() Not in Path Finder 8! It sports completely new and flexible modules structure. Still, those modules were pretty much static and fixed to a place. But, as Cocoatech describes it….Įven older versions had modules in window drawers. In shelves, there were bottom and side shelves that could accomodate a limited number of modules. Part of the rewrite was the transition from static shelves to more flexible modules. But with the latest macOS updates we have finally come to the inevitable going back to the drawing board and give Path Finder the proper overhaul it needed for a long time. We tried to postpone it as much as we could in a passionate desire to offer yet a few new features, so we kept patching and finding workarounds for unsupported and obsolete stuff. The moment of imminent redesign and rewrite was getting closer. ![]() With each major release of macOS, the application was getting more lines of obsolete code, deprecated APIs and officially unsupported features. Path Finder 8Ĭocoatech has published an interesting and informative blog post about the history of Path Finder and what led them to a complete overhaul of the app. I included Cocoatech’s feature list below. There are many, many more cool features, but I don’t have room in this Quick Look review. A printed list of a folder contents can be very handy, even if to a PDF file. Here’s a sample printout from my Background Mode podcast folder. This has come handy for me, for example, when I’m ready to upgrade to a new version of macOS and want a listing of my /Applications folder and mission critical apps. Amazingly, after 17 years, the macOS Finder still can’t print a listing of a folder (directory). One enduring feature of PF that I didn’t mention previously is the ability to print. I’ll have more to say on modules below.Īrchiving can be helpful for transmitting large files, but it’s not so critical anymore for saving disk (SSD!) space. Shelves, explained in my earlier article, were cool, but, in my experience, tended to have visual, cosmetic bugs from version to version-even in PF 7. In Path Finder 8, the classic shelves are gone, but they’re replaced by something much better: more dynamic modules. Later, by default, my text file opens in BBEdit. I use this often when I’m working on a project, and I want to create a quick text file of notes. It’s amazingly helpful.įully customizable alternate row colors. (See the screenshot below.) This really helps manage visual clutter in list view. Think of it as a temporary parking space for a file while you move it to a new location. Most all of my favorites have endured, but there’s been one significant change.ĭrop Stack. See my 2015 article below for a description of features I really like. But I’ve been using it since its earliest incarnation in 2001. The last time I visited Cocoatech’s Path Finder (PF) was in June of 2015. ![]() Path Finder working in Dual Pane View is very helpful. But Cocoatech’s Path Finder, now at version 8, has. It started simple, got faster and more refined, but never evolved dramatically. Apple’s macOS Finder has evolved slowly over the years. ![]() Plus, everyone else plays November night games.Īnd there's this: If the Lions are undefeated (or even with one loss), fans will be motivated, cold or not. Make it the show, possibly of the entire college football season. Why do it: The game is just too big not to give it the top-line treatment. Plus, can you really get enough fans to wear white on a 30-degree winter coat night? Maybe, but. Yes, Penn State and the Big Ten can do November night games in State College. Do you want to risk 100,000 people driving home on slick or frozen roads at midnight? ![]() While the Lions and the TV networks could certainly schedule a mid-November night game in Beaver Stadium, there always are weather concerns. The timing of the game, however, is the biggest hold-up. Nothing could be bigger − or more fitting of a White Out, right? This could/should determine if Penn State makes its first College Football Playoff appearance. The penultimate home game of the season against Jim Harbaugh's back-to-back Big Ten champs. 21? This White Out would then be good medicine. An undefeated Penn State would have the college football world's undivided attention − and may need a pick-me-up after a draining victory at Ohio State the week before. Remember, it's not like Penn State hasn't used its White Out on a non-traditional power before (see Minnesota, 2022). If the Lions were undefeated at this point (7-0), Beaver Stadium would still just about lift off with this kind of White Out. Plus, even if that's not likely this time, would Penn State's White Out fans really complain about celebrating the anticipated comfortable victory for eight hours before kickoff? Still, the Hoosiers typically give the Lions fits. we don't know if head coach Tom Allen will even be employed at this season's mid-point. ![]() The Indiana Hoosiers got so bad last year that. No home-run qualities but probably the best combination of timing and opponent intrigue. Why do it: Still early for ideal White Out season build-up but better than the opener. Just that, alone, should keep the Hawkeyes undefeated as they visit State College. And it may have solved enough of its offensive distress with transfer Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara, the super-solid headliner. Once again, Iowa will boast a lights-out defense. The most testy Penn State opponent relationship returns.Įven more, the offensive-impaired Hawkeyes are due for a fast start and are quite used to ruining promising Penn State seasons. Pull out all the stops to get the season started against a unique opponent. Why do it: With the biggest opponent (Michigan) not visiting until potential wintry mid-November, just make the biggest warm-weather party that much bigger. While this would be understandably early for a White Out, Penn State did stage one against Auburn in mid-September just two years ago. Plus, West Virginia's notorious rowdy fans will have only a three-hour drive to State College and certainly will find enough tickets to show out.Īlso, NBC will be televising a Penn State game for the first time in 17 years, since the Lions' blowout loss at Notre Dame. 2 Miami Hurricanes visited in 2001 (Beaver Stadium renovation unveil, Adam Taliaferro's return). The intangibles are there for an opening-night extravaganza, starting with how the old rivals will be meeting for the first time in three decades.Ĭonsider that this also will be Penn State's first prime time season-opener in Beaver Stadium in more than 20 years − since the No. West Virginia Mountaineers at Penn State, Sept. The Penn State Nittany Lions run onto the field to play Minnesota in a White Out game at Beaver Stadium on Saturday, Oct. ![]() Projector with mirror display doesn’t support play protected videos, because of copyright.(Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu) Compatible with Amazon Fire TV Stick/smartphones/tablets/TV/laptop/USB sticks/TF cards (max 32GB)/DVD players.

using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model 21 under two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 22 to create three scenarios: RCP4.5 23 (CESM_4.5) and RCP8.5 24 (CESM_8.5 and CM3_8.5). The GCMs are dynamically downscaled to a 36-km horizontal grid spacing over the contiguous U.S. Both models are members of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) ensemble 20. Scenarios are used from two GCMs: Community Earth System Model version 1 (a.k.a., the fourth version of the Community Climate System Model–CCSM4) (CESM) 18 and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Coupled Model (CM3) 19. The influences of model resolution and statistical stationarity are mitigated with DRA by applying the probability statistics to two dynamically downscaled future periods. The downscaled projections reflect the presence of TCs, but their strength is underestimated due to the resolution of the projections 15, 16, 17. Here, we do not explicitly model future hurricanes rather, we examine potential changes in storm total precipitation informed by projections of future climatic conditions. To explore changes in extreme rainfall at ‘2100’, the Design-Rainfall Approach (DRA) is proposed, where observed rainfall statistics are adjusted for changes in probability statistics derived from the dynamically downscaled global climate models (GCMs). Recent extreme rainfall events illustrate that rainfall probability statistics based on stationarity assumptions can no longer represent the rapidly changing climate 10, 13, 14. ![]() Global mean TC wind speeds, precipitation rates, and intensity are projected to increase by the late twenty-first century 7, 11, 12, which underscores the need to examine how the most devastating storms in ENC may be enhanced by climate change. Since 1999, Hurricanes Floyd, Matthew, and Florence set record rainfall and discharges in ENC river basins 4, 10 (Fig. Additionally, the coastal plains of ENC have a limited elevation range, enhancing its vulnerability to prolonged flooding 9. Since 1886, over 160 TCs have passed within 500 km of the North Carolina coast, with a TC crossing the state every 2–3 years 8. 1) is among the most vulnerable regions for TC impacts in the U.S. TC precipitation will likely increase globally, and a 2 ☌ warming could increase the median TC precipitation rate by 14% at constant relative humidity 7.Įastern North Carolina (ENC, Fig. The 20-yr return value of the annual maximum daily rainfall-a measure often used in urban planning-could increase by an average of 5.3% ☌ −1 warming with wide regional variability 6. Throughout the mid-latitudes, extreme rainfall events will likely become more intense in a warmer world from increased tropospheric water vapor 5. During 1949–2018, TCs comprised 25 of the top 100, 4-day rainfall events nationwide 4 with one-quarter of the top 100 events occurring in the final decade of the 70-yr record, at a far greater frequency than in any other decade. During 1958–2016, there was a 27% increase in the 99th percentile precipitation 3 in the southeastern U.S. has received a greater proportion of its total precipitation from intense one-day rainfall events 2. has increasingly recorded more extreme precipitation events 1. Over the past century, the southeastern U.S. Consequently, there is a broad interest in quantifying the potential changes to extreme rainfall from TCs. Similar content being viewed by othersĮxtreme precipitation events driven by tropical cyclones (TCs) disrupt the quality of life in coastal plains and low-lying communities, where growing populations support important agricultural, environmental, cultural, and economic resources. ![]() during the early twenty-first century, which suggests that the intensity of projected future events is already a present-day reality. Although these magnitudes exceed the consensus in the literature, the values here are comparable to the most extreme rainfall events observed in the U.S. Maximum rainfall intensities at ‘2100’ could increase locally by 168%, with widespread regional increases in total rainfall up to 44%. Potential changes to extreme rainfall across ENC are explored and quantified for 2025–2100 for three tropical cyclones using an approach based on relative changes in future extreme rainfall frequencies (return periods) from dynamically downscaled projections. Historical climate records reflect an increasing trend in the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events across the eastern U.S., which is projected to continue to increase throughout the twenty-first century. ![]() In the past quarter-century, Eastern North Carolina (ENC) experienced several devastating tropical cyclones that led to widespread flooding and damage. ![]() The latter include standard Races, Endurance races with tire wear enabled, Time attack events, Drift events, and - as downloadable content (DLC) - Time Trials, Drag and point-to-point Sprint races. Each discipline features markedly different cars and race types. During Career mode, the player picks a particular event in one of these categories, with each event (a string of races) making up a season. There are five main categories: Touring, Endurance, Open Wheel, Tuner, and Street. Grid Autosport emphasises the concept of racing disciplines, making them into the new event categories. Soon after the game's release, they were also presented with sets of specific challenges, called RaceNet Challenges, announced by Codemasters. Online racing is conducted via RaceNet, Codemasters' community hub on which players can form racing clubs, earn XP and cash as they race and fulfill sponsor objectives, then use their earnings to purchase and upgrade vehicles. The teams – including the best-in-the-business Ravenwest, making a return from Race Driver: Grid – each have different season objectives and sponsor objectives, the achievement of which earns extra experience points (XP) for the players besides those received for their results. The Career mode is divided into seasons before which the player each time has to choose between offers from the game's racing teams. It is the first video game in GRID series not to feature Vehicle Customization this time in single player career as only featured in online mode. In Grid Autosport, the player acts as a racing driver with opportunities to start and build their own racing career via the single-player Career mode, enter competitions with fellow players on the web via the multiplayer Online mode, customise their racing experience (vehicle, circuit, race type, difficulty, etc.) to their own tastes via the single-player Custom Cup mode, and play against each other via the multiplayer Splitscreen mode. Ī sequel, Grid, was released on in October 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Stadia. The Nintendo Switch version, also from Feral Interactive, was released on 19 September 2019, and their Android version of the game was released on 26 November. įeral Interactive, who brought the game to macOS and Linux, also brought the game to iOS on 27 November 2017. Many critics who praised the game cited how Codemasters seemed to have "gone back to its roots", with aspects from its early games in the series. ![]() The developers consequently introduced major modifications to the handling model and built a lean, race-first oriented design for this title. It aims to move the series back towards "more authentic racing games" following the release of Grid 2, which Codemasters felt was not as well-received by the company's core fanbase as it was hoped for. Grid Autosport is a 2014 racing video game developed by Codemasters for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Linux, iOS, macOS, Nintendo Switch and Android. ![]()
![]() ![]() Their value as performers demonstrates respect for their unique talents, but this is one of the few legitimate occupations open to kathoey. There is discrimination against them as well, however. Thai universities maintain dormitories specifically for kathoey students and provide them with support. There is widespread cultural acceptance of kathoey, and several have become celebrities as models and singers. As in other cultures, homosexuality in Thailand is accepted or rejected to various degrees by individuals but does not enjoy the widespread cultural sanction of the kathoey. ![]() There is a large gay community in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, to which the kathoey do not specifically belong. Not all homosexuals are kathoey in Thailand. In terms of sexual activity the majority of kathoey are homosexuals, but some are heterosexual or bisexual. They are thus a part of mainstream culture outside their perceived sexual roles. Kathoey are part of national sports teams, for which some choose to deemphasize their femininity but do not abandon it entirely. Some are accomplished athletes, including volleyball players and kickboxers. Femininity is not universal among the kathoey, however. The transformation is permanent unlike drag, it is not a part of their life that emerges at specific moments or in specific situations.Ī kind of femininity is expected of kathoey, and there is a high incidence of normatively feminine physical traits (particularly hairless faces) among them that has led to biologically based theories of their origin. Kathoey take on new feminine names and live as kathoey for their entire lives. Most kathoey realize and announce their intentions to transform before or during puberty, and many begin hormone treatment at that age with the knowledge of their families. ![]() Although individual kathoey may meet resistance from their families and friends, culturally there is a high degree of acceptance. Some kathoey undergo sex-reassignment surgery, others take female hormones and have breast implants, and some undergo no physical alterations other than dress and makeup. Kathoey is a more inclusive term than transsexual, transvestite, drag queen, or hermaphrodite, although it can encompass all those categories. As with other marginalized gender categories, there is a high incidence of sex work among kathoey, and they also function as objects of fetishistic desire. In short, they perform as ladyboys because they are kathoey rather than being people who might be understood as drag queens because they perform. Their performance is seen as a manifestation of a unique talent, however, rather than as a camp identity-based expression. It is this group of kathoey to which the term ladyboy applies and with which most tourists and non-Thais are familiar. Like drag queens, they often work in cabarets as performers. The kathoey are analogous to marginalized genders in other cultures but have qualities that make them distinct from those categories. Thailand is the only nation in its region that resisted colonization by European powers and sometimes is seen as having a set of cultural values less influenced by outside pressures, including normative heterosexuality and binary gender. "Northern Thai legend suggests that the pre-modern Thai sex/gender system was based on a model of the three genders: male, female and kathoey" (Totman 2003, p. They are part of Thai society and history and apparently have existed openly for hundreds of years. Although kathoey (pronounced "kateuyee") may embody gender in ways familiar to cultures outside Thailand (most similar to transsexuals or transvestites), they are different in that their gender operates in society in a sanctioned way. The ladyboy represents a gender position that is unique in that it has a national identity. Kathoey, or "ladyboys," are biological males who openly function in Thai society as transsexuals or transvestites.
