Blue crabs are known to respond to salinity changes in the estuaries in which they reside, and declining freshwater flow to the coast over the last 50 years is correlated with increases in average estuarine salinity and falling commercial harvests. We investigate the role of freshwater inputs on the blue crab fishery in Georgia, USA. The health of many estuarine and coastal ecosystems depends on upstream hydrology however, there is limited information on the economic effects of restricting freshwater flow to the coast. A possible solution could be an entire recording with high speed transnasal videokymography of a standardised passage read by the subject, with a posteriori automatic extraction, by dedicated software, of all damping phases and computation of the average damping coefficient. For clinical/medicolegal applications, additional research is required as to the recording protocol. Second, the three main physiological factors accounting for the variability are analysed: (1) the timing dynamics of the expiratory pressure with respect to the opening of the glottis (2) the speed at which vocal fold edges are abducted and glottal resistance drops, the combined effect of (1) and (2) determining the persisting transglottal flow, hence a persisting driving force (3) the morphological change of the oscillator, whose lip-like shape becomes flattened depending on the degree of abduction. First, possibilities and limitations of each recording method are reviewed. It could become a valuable clinical parameter, particularly in a medicolegal context, but its large variability in a same subject limits its use. It reflects important mechanical properties of the vocal oscillator, and cannot be voluntarily controlled. The phenomenon can be observed with high-speed videoendoscopy and with different glottographic methods. Vocal folds show a damped oscillatory movement while abducting at the end of a vocal emission. I knew, who in that Limbo were suspended. The foremost circle that surrounds the abyss. In Dante Alighieri's epic poem The Divine Comedy (14th century), Julia was encountered by Dante in the first circle of Hell, the Limbo (where rest souls who are not in torture, the pagans that lived righteous existences): The date of the ceremony was chosen to coincide with the ludi Veneris Genetricis in September 26, the festival in honor of Venus Genetrix, the divine ancestress of the Julians.Ħ9 BC68 BC Cornelia Cinna (Julia's mother and Caesar's first wife) dies in childbirthĥ4 BC Julia dies in childbed, her child only survives a few days Caesar himself vowed a ceremony to her manes, which he exhibited in 46 BC as extensive funeral games including gladiatorial combats. It was remarked, as a singular omen, that on the day Augustus entered the city as Caesar's adoptive son, the monument of Julia was struck by lightning. Ten years later the official pyre for Caesar's cremation would be erected near the tomb of his daughter, but the people intervened after the laudatio funebris by Marcus Antonius and cremated Caesar's body in the Forum.Īfter Julias death Pompey and Caesars alliance began to fade which resulted in Caesar's civil war. But the popular will prevailed, and, after listening to a funeral oration in the forum, the people placed her urn in the Campus Martius. For permission a special decree of the senate was necessary, and Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, one of the consuls of 54 BC, impelled by his hatred to Pompey and Caesar, procured an interdict from the tribunes. Pompey wished her ashes to repose in his favourite Alban villa, but the Roman people, who loved Julia, determined they should rest in the field of Mars. Caesar was in Britain, according to Seneca, when he received the tidings of Julia's death. In August of the next year, 54 BC, she died in childbed, and her infant a son, according to some writers, a daughter, according to others,survived her only a few days. Imagining that her husband was slain, she fell into premature labour, and her constitution received an irreparable shock. A slave carried the stained toga to his house on the Carinae and was seen by Julia. At the election of aediles in 55 BC, Pompey was surrounded by a tumultuous mob, and his gown was sprinkled with blood of the rioters. Julia died before a breach between her husband and father had become inevitable. In fact, Pompey had been given the governorship of Hispania Ulterior, but had been permitted to remain in Rome to oversee the Roman grain supply as curator annonae, exercising his command through subordinates. A rumor suggested that the aging conqueror was losing interest in politics in favor of domestic life with his young wife. The personal charms of Julia were remarkable: she was a woman of beauty and virtue and although policy prompted her union, and she was twenty-three years younger than her husband, she possessed in Pompey a devoted husband, to whom she was, in return, devotedly attached. Pompey was supposedly infatuated with his bride. This family-alliance of its two great chiefs was regarded as the firmest bond between Caesar and Pompey, and was accordingly viewed with much alarm by the oligarchal party in Rome, especially by Marcus Tullius Cicero and Cato the Younger. Caesar broke off this engagement and married her to Pompey in April 59 BC, with whom Caesar sought a strong political alliance in forming the First Triumvirate. Her father wanted her to marry Faustus Cornelius Sulla, but she got engaged to a certain Quintus Servilius Caepio. After her mother died in childbirth around 69 BC68 BC, she was raised by her paternal grandmother Aurelia Cotta. Julia became the fourth wife of Pompey the Great and was renowned for her beauty and virtue. Julia Caesaris (Classical Latin: IVLIAØCAESARIS) was the daughter of Gaius Julius Caesar the dictator, by his first wife, Cornelia Cinna, and his only child in marriage. About a 14-year-old boy who begins to hear voices emanating from things in the house after the death of his father, the book won the Women's Prize for Fiction in June 2022. In 2021, Ozeki released her fourth novel The Book of Form and Emptiness. The Face: A Time Code was published as part of Restless Books' groundbreaking series, The Face, featuring authors Tash Aw and Chris Abani. In her first work of personal nonfiction, The Face: A Time Code (Restless Books, 2016), Ozeki writes about a three-hour observation experiment, in which she studied her reflection in a mirror and kept a log of thoughts that arose during that time. The book has received several other national and international awards, and has been published in more than thirty countries. Junot Diaz called this novel Ozeki's "absolute best-bewitching, intelligent, hilarious, and heartbreaking, often on the same page." The novel was awarded the 2013 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction, and named the first recipient of the 2015 Yasnaya Polyana Literary Award (founded by the Leo Tolstoy Museum & Estate and Samsung Electronics) for the Best Foreign Novel of the 21st century. The diary is discovered by a novelist named Ruth, who becomes obsessed with discovering the girl's fate. Ozeki's 2013 novel, A Tale for the Time Being (Viking Penguin) tells the story of a mysterious diary written by a troubled schoolgirl in Tokyo that's washed ashore on the Pacific Northwest coast of Canada in the wake of the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Author Michael Pollan called All Over Creation "a smart compelling novel about a world we don't realize we live in." All Over Creation received the 2003 WILLA Literary Award for Contemporary Fiction and the 2004 American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. Her second novel, All Over Creation (Viking Penguin, 2003), focuses on a potato-farming family in Idaho and an environmental activist group opposing the use of GMOs. My Year of Meats was awarded the 1998 Kiriyama Prize and the 1998 Imus/Barnes & Noble American Book Award. Ozeki's debut novel My Year of Meats ( Viking Penguin, 1998), based on her work in Japanese television, tells the story of two women, living on opposite sides of the world, whose lives are connected by a TV cooking show. It was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, and screened at the Museum of Modern Art, the Montreal World Film Festival, and the Margaret Mead Film Festival, among others. Her second film, Halving the Bones (1995), tells the autobiographical story of Ozeki's journey as she brings her grandmother's remains home from Japan. Ozeki's first film, Body of Correspondence (1994), made in collaboration with artist Marina Zurkow won the New Visions Award at the San Francisco Film Festival and was aired on PBS. During this time, she directed episodes of See the World by Train and co-produced the pilot for the TV documentary miniseries Fishing With John (1991), starring musician John Lurie and director Jim Jarmusch. In 1988, she began working for Telecom Staff, a Japanese production company, coordinating, producing and directing documentary-style programs for Japanese TV. In 1985, Ozeki moved to New York City and began working as an art director and production designer for low-budget horror movies, including Mutant Hunt (1987) and Robot Holocaust (1986). in English and Asian Studies, and upon graduation, she received a Japanese Ministry of Education Fellowship ( Monbukagakusho) to do graduate work at Nara University. In 1980, she graduated from Smith College with a B.A. She grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, and is the daughter of the American linguist, anthropologist and Mayanist scholar, Floyd Lounsbury, and linguist Masako Yokoyama. She teaches creative writing at Smith College where she is the Grace Jarcho Ross 1933 Professor of Humanities in the Department of English Language and Literature. Her novels have been translated into more than thirty languages. Her books and films, including the novels My Year of Meats (1998), All Over Creation (2003), A Tale for the Time Being (2013), and The Book of Form and Emptiness (2021) seek to integrate personal narrative and social issues, and deal with themes relating to science, technology, environmental politics, race, religion, war and global popular culture.

Financial situations change, and so does software there may well be something that works better for you now and it might be less expensive. If you are trying to reduce your expenses, you want to find categories where you can reduce. My entire point is, don't disregard the competition because YNAB is supposed to be the best. When Quicken creates a budget, it is based on your real costs. COLUMN 3 CATEGORY BUDGET PER EXPENSE-MTD ACTUAL EXPENSE. There are plenty of alternatives to Quicken that cost far, far less, and some apps are even free to use. If you don’t want to pay for your accounting software, you aren’t out of luck.

And if you shop around, you may find an even lower price for Quicken at some online store. Simplifi by Quicken earns high marks because it offers a personalized spending plan with real-time updates of how much you have left to spend throughout the. I'm not finding Quicken to be as basic or terrible as a lot of you seem to think it is. It doesn't work for me anymore for several reasons, and their handling of their price increase, and particularly removing the grandfathered pricing for us long time users, was the final straw. You helped get me on track, but you just don’t fit the bill anymore.Įdit: If YNAB works for you, great, keep using it. I’m leaving for Quicken, which happens to fit my needs better anyway. Do yourself a favor and look at the competition. YNAB is god for basic budgets, but it now ranks as one of the most expensive budgeting apps I’ve come across.

What I’ve experienced feels like the bare bones, but even so, Exanima has got its hooks in me, its austere setting and formidable fighting system creating scenes of farce and fear in equal measure. Character progression is still a feature in development, along with dialogue. There is a story here, seeded in the environment, but few more elaborate interactions with the world than permitted by the capricious combat system. I should probably spend more time there my woeful attempts at the main game haven’t seen me get much further than the selection of gloomy corridors in which my character awakes. There’s already a separate arena mode, too, in which players can hone their half-cut combat skills. There are currently three large levels to explore, according to the dev, which will eventually serve as an introduction to another much larger, more open area, as yet unreleased, containing the majority of the game’s content. (That’s figurative cock-waving, by the way, not physics-enabled - though given that the character creator is unabashed about the existence of female nipples, maybe we can hope to see windmilling in a later patch.)Īnyway, given that the game is so uncompromising, I confess that I’ve barely made a dent in it. This, combined with the fact that there is no save system whatsoever, makes for a tough game, something for which the devs are unapologetic and which has encouraged a good deal of cock-waving among early adopting Steam reviewers. In articulating this cumbersome form you feel like a puppeteer rather than a protagonist, and there are kinks and contradictions to the control scheme which can easily and abruptly end your life without much feeling of culpability in that failure. This said, it isn’t always a good a match for the player’s intent, no more than Gang Beasts’ physics-modelled brawls between jelly-baby-men is an exact martial art. I like the exact match between the observable impact of a blow and the damage that it does, and I love the circumspection that the sluggish control brings. At least, it’s about these things inasmuch as these things are even possible while piloting someone with a near-lethal blood-alcohol level.ĭon’t misunderstand - I like the combat a lot. Every collision has a physical effect, as subtle or extreme as the speed with which it occurs, and so combat is about caution and timing, dodging incoming swings and finding the time to wind up, directing your weapon in a sweep to connect with your opponent’s most vital areas with the most momentum possible. It’s true for several reasons, but the most obvious is its fully physics-modelled combat which renders close quarters engagements as tense, tactical affairs conducted between two or more appallingly drunk people.
