![]() ![]() The Amazing Spider-Man: BBC Radio Play (1996) Official copies of the show were also released on vinyl, but they’re harder to track down now, with copies on Amazon and eBay being offered for $150-$200 USD. The Adventures of The Fantastic Four is perhaps the most well-known of all of Marvel’s older audio dramas and radio plays, and all thirteen episodes of the show are available to listen to online with not too much searching required. Best known now for featuring the voices of Stan Lee as the Narrator and Bill Murray (yes, that Bill Murray!) as The Human Torch, the Fantastic Four’s radio debut featured the team as they faced off against classic Fantastic Four enemies like Doctor Doom and Super-Skrull. The Fantastic Four radio show was a thirteen episode radio show that aired in 1975. Just don’t blame me if you end up in the Astral Plane for your Internet piracy crimes! The Adventures of the Fantastic Four – marvel Radio Show (1975) Whilst the radio show has never officially been released by Marvel (and isn’t even widely known among fans of the Sorcerer Supreme, considering it was only ever broadcast on a single radio station during its run), savvy Marvel fans can find audio copies of the show on YouTube and Marvel forums if they want to go digging for them. Unlike a lot of later radio series attempting to recapture the glories of old-time radio, these are marvelously done, making full use of sound effects, accents, music good radio acting and, of course, those familiar, now-classic Ditko plots! The way the story goes is that some folks at a New York radio station decided to do up these shows due to the growing popularity of Marvel Comics…they reportedly contacted Stan Lee about it and Stan showed up at the station to give his seal of approval…so they did a total of 17 episodes. This blogpost entry provides the following information about the radio show: ![]() It’s a show that was pretty faithful to the comics, but that also injected new life into a character that had only previously existed within the pages of Marvel comic books. The rest of the episodes focus on classic Strange tales and are all fully fleshed out with music, SFX and a complete cast of voice actors. It’s a fun series that begins by matching Steve Ditko’s origin for the Sorcerer we listen to The Ancient One (who has a somewhat questionable accent) explain how Stephen Strange lost the use of his hands during a car crash, and how he can never perform neurosurgery again. But The Long Night isn’t the first time that Marvel have delved into the world of audio dramas, they’ve actually been releasing them for almost as long as they’ve been releasing comics.Ī lot of these audio dramas are hard to track down, with most never having been released on any physical or digital formats, but luckily the popularity of Marvel Comics have kept traces of these audio tales alive and well on the Internet for me to hunt down and pass onto you: Doctor Strange Radio Series (1967-1970)īefore the silver-screen debut of Benedict Cumberbatch as the Master of the Mystic Arts, Marvel decided to bring Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange into the world of audio dramas with a seventeen-episode radio show which ran from 1967 to 1970 on a single New York radio station. Marvel’s latest venture into the world of podcasts, “Wolverine: The Long Night”, recently began releasing on podcast streaming service Stitcher Premium, with comics fans excited to see what the future will hold for audio releases based around Marvel Comics characters and locations. ![]()

![]() Wiring batteries in series will increase the voltage of the battery bank, while keeps the amperage rating (amp-hour) the same. The flow of current or amperage and voltage depends on the battery configuration whether the connection of the batteries in parallel vs series. You need to determine what amps of current flow through interconnecting cables of the battery bank consisting of the two 12v batteries. What Gauge Wire To Connect two 12v Batteries? You can also use battery cable size calculator to get the right cable size. If you have 24v batteries, you only need to double the gauge cable size that is given here. ![]() If you have a battery bank that is capable to produce 25 amps, you should use 12 AWG cables to make sure a safe connection is produced. The lower the current and the shorted the batteries are, the smaller cables you require. The chart is widely accepted to choose the correct size wire gauge for connecting batteries. When you know both the amperage and cable length, you can easily find out what size of battery cable to use from the chart. The first one is the most used one where wire gauge is determined using a chart named the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system chart. There are two methods to determine what gauge wire to connect 12-volt batteries. Make sure the batteries you’re connecting are of the same capacity and voltage rating. You’ve seen amps and volts vary depending upon the circuitry connection. What Gauge Wire to Connect 12v Batteries? The battery bank also serves as an energy center that delivers power or electricity when the solar panels are not in working conditions (dark or bad weather). ![]() A battery bank is produced to store electricity that is generated by solar panels to use anytime you want. The best example of a battery bank would be its application in a PV system. The battery bank is made so that you can increase the overall voltage, amperage, or both. A battery bank is a result of joining two or more batteries together either in series or parallel for a specific application. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re ready to pick a cat and color to call your own, make sure to work with a responsible breeder who guarantees the health of their cats.

You just celebrated the season two premiere of Christina Milian Turned Up earlier this month. But when it all ends, it’s really about confidence. Do what makes you happy, whether it’s riding til the wheels fall off or whatever the case is. It’s not the end of the world if you get hurt because you can always keep moving forward. It’s okay to get hurt, it makes you stronger and better. I do believe in karma and I do believe in love. The message for them is: love hard, be strong, have fun. Is there a message you hope fans take away from 4U as far as relationships and vulnerability? And that’s exactly what I did, put everything I was going through on wax. Music is about vulnerability and realness and relationships, and people being able to relate to something. This way it tells a story and it’s the real me. It’s been a long time coming, especially being an independent artist, but it’s been exciting because each song has gotten the proper amount of love and each video means something to me. There are also four accompanying music videos too, all shot and ready to go. But at the end of the day, I put a pretty little package together for my fans and made it all about them. Technically, the guy I was dating, this project was for him. 4. It’s about womanhood and the relationship I was in this past year. I have a four-track EP titled 4U coming out Dec. So, what’s next for you in terms of music? Even for me as a designer now with my clothing line, We Are Pop Culture, it’s just a natural thing that comes to me. I’ve always been a creative kid I’ve always had a big imagination from birth so I was able to turn that into creativity. I don’t just sing and write songs I come up with visuals and ideas, too. You see it, you hear it, you dream it, you see it come to fruition. It’s all about putting your mind to something and making it happen - it’s like tenfold. You mentioned that your creative process is at an all time high, what all does that entail? You know, you want to do even more for your kid. I get that guilt like everything you do is not even enough. My creative process is at an all time high right now but just as a mom, if I’m not working I really just want to be around her. I try to balance have the work and family by bringing her to work with me when I can. It’s hard work, but the work I’m putting in for my career is for her. Sometimes I have an early call time in the morning for filming so I have to get Violet dressed early, bring her to my sister’s house or my sisters come early and help her get dressed for school. ![]() It’s a lot of juggling many different hats. Luckily for me, I have a nanny and my mom and my sisters and a lot of people who help. What’s your secret to balancing it all?Ĭhristina Milian: It’s a lot of work. VIBE Vixen: From singing/songwriting to holding down several TV gigs to being a mother, you embody the idea of a hyphenated professional. Here, we caught with her for a quick session of Vixen Chat to talk about motherhood, new music, relationships, and of course Christina Milian Turned Up season two. That’s not all Christina had to say though. “The basis is me taking control of my career, me starting my other businesses, and doing better things through my music, and then the turn up.” Milian, the show’s center, turns the camera to her fast paced life, shining a light on her latest music project, her loving relationship with daughter Violet, and her personal triumphs and upsets. ![]() ![]() ![]() Indeed, the piece is sometimes too in love with artifice to slow down and fully engage reality when it does so, its devices stretch and strain. ![]() The play succeeds most when it is appreciating life as theater and pointing out that the roles of life don’t always fit the individuals who play them. Now, they make for a cocktail frothy enough to allow “the permissiveness of theatrical artifice” - as a line in Comedy goes - to take over entirely. Greenspan’s elated theatrical gender games were given a mixed reception when offered a decade ago at The Public Theater under Joseph Papp and George C. But the essence of this work is Greenspan’s love of gender-farce in all its forms, mixed with a palpable (and increasingly rare) respect and affection for the audience, which the author treats as a collaborator. Repetition figures strongly in the writing, as does gentle rhyme, which tickles the ear at various moments. The play is marked by fast-paced, articulate, poetic, and rhythmic text, delivered by a cast in perfect tune with the style. But Greenspan’s triple-threat approach to playmaking also recalls the work of Charles Ludlam, whose Irma Vep is referenced prominently here. It has stronger parallels to its acknowledged forerunner: The Guardsman, by Ferenc Molnar, Hungary’s foremost playwright and an influence on such major figures as Pirandello. The play actually has little to do with She Stoops to Conquer, the delightful old farce by Oliver Goldsmith, which first appeared in London in 1773. We paid a lot).She Stoops to Comedy is a delightful new farce written and directed by David Greenspan, in which he also stars. Then the next day we were at Corfe Castle and even more people came up and demanded whether we had permission (We did. We once filmed outside the Minster, and as our very experienced ex-ITV director said, he’d never been anywhere where so many members of the public came up and asked officiously if we had permission to film there / block the street etc. As with their previous production, I felt they found several interesting new laughs in the script. The actors were not getting the feedback they deserved for their energy, effort and genuine comedy. To me, and I am very glad we all followed COVID restrictions and distanced, the comedy lost the ripple effect of laughter, which normally spreads out. You just can’t grasp an audience around tables in the same way. At one educational conference the seats had been arranged like that around tables in groups by a previous presenter, and I simply said, “I don’t do cabaret even without chicken in a basket” and put them back in rows myself with my publisher’s rep. If you’ve ever addressed audiences in rows versus seated in groups at tables, you’ll know what I mean. I waited till very near the end to take a photo, and only did so because I saw several people were doing it! Apologies (and I will remove it if the company objects). As the rain started it set me wondering about costumes? Do they have two sets (I would think so) or is it out to find a launderette in the morning to dry them? A major theatre over-using its rain machine (as so many do) would have to have two sets for a matinee day. One minor fault – they really need to replace Hastings’ wig with a better one that fits. They do the Globe / RSC dance ending … and manage very well with just violin and handclaps. I’ve seen it costumed in other eras, and virtually always with elaborate and expensive sets. Playing it “large” brings the play an 18th century feel to me. It means it’s harder than the encircled Shakespeare’s Globe to project in the open air and they all managed well. Social distancing also means we took up a much larger area of the Mill courtyard than we would have done in the past, when we’d have sat in rows closer to the stage. ![]() You can only play it large in the open air, and with the odd motor-bike crossing the bridge nearby (and the inexplicable decision by Walford Mill to clean the toilet block during act one), you have to use volume. They also played with scene changes and the obvious restrictions of a small stage outdoors with only seven actors … there were several jokes about covering costume changes. So was Anthony Young as Mr Hardcastle who did some excellent filler lines and asides, Anthony Taylor as Tony Lumpkin framed the play and was relaxed in asides to the audience. The play lends itself to breaking the fourth wall and having fun with the audience, because it has all those scenes of walking forward in character and addressing the audience. As her cameo as “the tree” in the outdoor sene she got the loudest applause of the evening. Pippa Meekings did Kate as the barmaid particularly well – she was Gwendolen when we saw The Importance of Being Earnest. ![]() ![]() Although Airflow is not perfect, the community is working on a lot of critical features that are crucial to improving the performance and stability of the Airflow platform.

Airflow is natively integrated to work with big data systems such as Hive, Presto, and Spark, making it an ideal framework to orchestrate jobs running on any of these engines. ![]() Here’s an example of a Dag that generates visualizations from previous days’ sales.Įfficient, cost-effective, and well-orchestrated data pipelines help data scientists develop better-tuned and more accurate ML models because those models have been trained with complete data sets and not just small samples. Similarly, to create your visualizations it may be possible that you need to load data from multiple sources. The analogy also shows that certain steps like kneading the dough and preparing the sauce can be performed in parallel as they are not interdependent. Similarly, to create your visualization from the past day’s sales, you need to move your data from relational databases to a data warehouse. Similarly, for Pizza sauce, you need its ingredients. Like, to knead the dough, you need flour, oil, yeast, and water. Now, the DAG shows how each step is dependent on several other steps that need to be performed first. Workflows usually have an end goal like creating visualizations for sales numbers of the last day. ![]() Let’s use a pizza-making example to understand what a workflow/DAG is. In Airflow, these workflows are represented as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG). These data pipelines deliver data sets that are ready for consumption either by business intelligence applications and data science or machine learning models that support big data applications. Orchestration of data pipelines refers to the sequencing, coordination, scheduling, and managing of complex data pipelines from diverse sources. Apache Airflow is used for the scheduling and orchestration of data pipelines or workflows. ![]() ![]() You install a program that creates a folder with several icons and a subfolder with others, and they appear mixed, with no way to solve it, whether you create the subfolders manually or if a program creates them when you install it. In addition, I have been testing and find the fact that subfolders cannot be created irritating and useless. If you delete the tile and the shortcut in all applications sometimes when creating a new shortcut appears and sometimes does not appear, without apparent justification. Maybe I’ll give it a try in a virtual machine. MAYBE they fixed it in creator’s update, I haven’t checked because it’s too risky. If you add it to the programs folder FIRST and THEN pin it, it’ll act all normal with no issues and won’t disappear when unpinned. If you try to add it back to the Program folder, it’ll just pin it as a tile again… aaaand there’s no way to fix it other than reinstall the whole OS as far as I know. If you try to unpin the tile, it’ll simply remove the shortcut from the programs folder. You “can” put it in the programs folder, but it simply won’t show up in the all app list. If you create a shortcut to regedit on your desktop or wherever, right click and select pin to start, you will no longer be able to place it in the All app list. All of them will be copied to the personal Start menu location of new users.įor example, if you create a new user "Macbeth", your custom shortcuts will be placed into the following folder: C:\Users\Macbeth\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\ProgramsĪbout a year ago I found a bug with this process where if you pin a shortcut to the start menu via a simple context menu > Pin to Start, without having added it in the all app list first, it will no longer be possible to add it to the all app list.įor example let’s take Registry Editor as an example, as it does not appear in All App list by default. There, you can create any shortcuts or folders you like. You need to create them under the following location: C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs Tip: It is possible to create shortcuts which will be copied to all new user accounts created on your PC in future. If you delete some shortcut, it will disappear from the Start menu from all users. Note that you may be not able to right click in an empty area of this folder and create a new shortcut due to User Account Control so you will have to copy shortcuts to this folder which have been created somewhere else.
