![]() ![]() However, one of the movie’s best motifs is Kelly’s A Beautiful Mind-esque cognitive problem-solving. ![]() So it’s too bad that the special effects lean more toward CGI than practical the Grand Guignol’s cadre of “toadies” (toad-like cronies), for example, would have been far more effective as puppets, instead just mere digital distractions. You half expect Olmec from Legends of the Hidden Temple to speak up, or for someone to get slimed at a crucial moment. This has the effect of making every scene that takes place in them, from the movie’s riff on a James Bond gizmo tutorial with Q (here, a teddy bear smoke grenade) to the nightmarish final showdown, have the feel of a racing-clock obstacle course. The sets (both the babysitters’ HQ and the Grand Guignol’s lair) resemble old-school Nickelodeon game shows, tending toward loudly cartoonish instead of subtly scary. So it’s not as if Felton is doing it for a recognizable career shift, like Henry Melling’s recent villainous turn in Netflix’s The Old Guard, nor is it a scene-stealing oddball performance on par with Daniel Radcliffe’s post- Potter roles. By contrast, the Grand Guignol is wreathed in so much dirt and makeup that it’s difficult to recognize the actor underneath. Yet Felton simultaneously lacks David Bowie’s strangely pristine magnetism. Lurking in closets and crooning ominous lullabies, he briefly conjures Labyrinth’s Jareth the Goblin King, who has a penchant for kidnapping. Liz and Kelly’s interactions are paint-by-numbers “old pro teaches newbie the ropes,” and it lacks any surprise.īut the most curious bit of casting involves Harry Potter alum Felton as the Grand Guignol. This is a kids’ level of scary movie, but the order of the babysitters deals in the same thematic issues of not being believed-here in regards to a monster under the bed.Īmong the grizzled adolescent veterans of the babysitter/monster wars is Liz LeRue (Oona Laurence), a post-apocalyptic-looking warrior with a baby strapped to her back, and a chip on her shoulder in the form of her missing brother. One can’t help but wonder if that is a nod to horror’s tendency to dismiss or outright ignore the fears and warnings of girls and women. In fact, the order of babysitters reflects a wide range of backgrounds and mostly skews female. Originally a white girl, Kelly is now Black (allowing Smart to utilize her skills much better than last year’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? reboot did). In adapting his own books (the first of which was published in 2017), Ballarini wisely revisits the diversity of the main cast. Shadow monsters aside, this could have taken place any old night. Yet for a Halloween movie, A Babysitter’s Guide doesn’t take enough advantage of the holiday’s invitation for mischief and mayhem, let alone costumes and alter egos. For here it also means ensuring that boogeymen like the Grand Guignol (Tom Felton) don’t conjure creatures out of children’s nightmares to wreak havoc on the waking world. It shows promise in depicting a world where babysitters’ responsibilities extend beyond enforcing bedtime. Unfortunately when left to its own merits, the movie doesn’t rise to the level of any of these classics. Based on the book trilogy by Joe Ballarani, which blends the hijinks of Adventures in Babysitting with the thrills of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, the inaugural installment also feels like it pays equal homage to Labyrinth and Hocus Pocus. Netflix’s kids’ movie is a clear attempt to kick-start a franchise. But when that adorable child gets snatched by the same otherworldly creature that once haunted Kelly, the hapless caretaker is thrown into a secret underworld and gets her first lesson in A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting. Zellman (Tamsen McDonough) and her problem child Jacob (Ian Ho). It’s useful, then, that her mother (Crystal Balint) promised Kelly’s babysitting services to her ice queen boss Ms. It’s Halloween night, and the thing that most terrifies teenage misfit Kelly Ferguson (Tamara Smart) is making it through the popular kids’ party without being called “Monster Girl.” After the ill-advised choice to tell her peers about a traumatic incident of almost getting snatched by a monster as a child, the unfortunate nickname has stuck and tanked all hope of ever joining the in-crowd.

![]() As I’ve finally gotten an extended time to use the Z f over the last month or so, it’s become clear that, aside from just being small, there are several things about the Z f that make it perhaps the most versatile camera on the market at the moment. While its 24.5 MP sensor might not match the 45.7 MP of my Z9, its small form factor more than makes up for that by allowing it to be used in certain situations where its big brother might not. That is why I was so excited when Nikon recently released the Z f. Flatly stated, it’s too big and too nice for me to personally feel comfortable doing things like street photography or many travel applications where smaller and more discrete is the order of the day. With that said, as I mentioned in my article a few weeks ago about reasons one might want to have a “personal” camera in addition to their professional one, the Z9 comes with the caveat that its size makes it somewhat prohibitive for me to use it in certain situations. And, now that I’ve found it, I’m not looking back. ![]() It took me years to finally find a camera that was so well suited to my needs. It simply means that, for my own particular preferences and client needs, the Z9 is the ultimate combination of speed, megapixels, video spec, ergonomics, and performance. I’ve shot with every brand on the market, so my choice isn’t a confirmation of superiority. My professional camera of choice for stills is the Nikon Z9. I am a professional photographer and director working on large scale ad campaigns for various brands and companies.

There’s an entire era of major-label rap that was propped up by Drake agreeing to feature on a song for whoever was the new flavor of the month. If one Drake line sums up his early 2010s run, it’s featured on 2013’s “5AM in Toronto.” Early in that song’s first and only verse, he raps, “Give these niggas the look, the verse, and even the hook/That’s why every song sound like Drake featuring Drake.” Here’s the thing - he wasn’t wrong. Laugh Now Cry Later - Drake ft Lil Durk (KARAOKE) Made by Mr Entertainer Karaoke by real musicians using real instruments. The sheer dominance of his run has a way of silencing most of the hate. It was hilarious to know Drake was laughing at the same Drake jokes as us when Instagram and Twitter still felt new, but now most of those cackles have long died out. Since 2012’s bar-mitzvah-themed “HYFR,” every new Drake video has grown in its self-awareness. ![]() There’s a scene of Drake emotionally crying, which fulfills the obligation to make a statement about how the Toronto rapper knows his detractors think he’s soft. 2018’s Instagram influencer of choice, Shiggy, is replaced with 2020’s equivalent Druski2funny. Drake and Lil Durk connected for the new 'Laugh Now Cry Later' video, directed by Dave Meyers and featuring a range of cameos and visual flourishes. There’s the prerequisite celebrity-embarrassing-Drake scene - instead of Tyra Banks shoving a piece of cake in Drake’s face, we get to see Kevin Durant dunking on him, while Marshawn Lynch tackles him. ![]() The video’s best moments, memes, and gags are telegraphed, following a cycle of familiarity. Laugh Now Cry Later - Drake ft Lil Durk (KARAOKE)Made by Mr Entertainer Karaoke by real musicians using real instruments. On Laugh Now Cry Later, Drake and Lil Durk rap about the high-life they live and a relationship, hoping to live in the moment and deal with pain and troubl. After months spent launching songs into the atmosphere to diminishing returns, the world’s biggest pop star is ready for a single with a capital “S” that heavily leans on the audience’s past associations with Drake as a cultural entity.Įven the visuals for “Laugh Now Cry Later” feel like an unending déjà vu scenario. As the first salvo off Drake’s sixth, seventh, or eighth studio album (depending on which projects you do or don’t consider playlists, demos, or mixtapes), it adheres to a familiar playbook. Sonically, lyrically, and emotionally, “Laugh Now Cry Later” is the embodiment of what happens when you surround real Drake with a room full of past Drakes, like a tortured Canadian reboot of Being John Malkovich. The line functions as a clever play on words, but also works on a deeper and most likely unintentional level. Halfway through Drake’s “ Laugh Now Cry Later” - the first single off the Toronto’s rapper’s upcoming album, Certified Lover Boy - Lil Durk raps, “Bring Drake to the hood, surround Drake around Dracs.” He pronounces “Dracs” like “Drakes,” but he means “dracos,” the firearm du jour featured in so many modern rap songs. ![]() As pcd is a polycrystalline form of diamond, so the cutting temperature is limited and could not exceed 700℃, also the work material has no affinity with carbon, advantages of lower cost and higher productivity make pcd inserts with tipped pcd cutting edges are widely used for machining non ferrous metals of tungsten carbide, aluminum, copper, zinc and non metals material of plastic, rubber, wood, ceramics. The tipped inserts are mainly used for the turning and milling non-ferrous hard metals and also the most conventional option for machining. These inserts are manufactured especially for different types of technologies and other advanced material processes. These are highly beneficial and have different characteristics and advantages. ![]() These are better and cheaper than that of the full top surface pcd inserts and also offer a better surface finishing. ![]() PJ TRAILER MULTIDECK TILT FULLĪdvantage of tipped pcd inserts over full faced pcd inserts is the lower cost, tipped insert is one use only economical type, it requires a carrier like tungsten carbide base as substrate for the insert, and substrate have a pocket that will accommodate and support the tip, the working tips are brazed to tungsten carbide base, 1~4 tips depends on different insert shapes, this braze joint of tipped pcd inserts represents the weak link not so good as full face pcd inserts, the maximum cutting depth is not more than 80% of the tip length. There are a lot of benefits of these inserts. It can easily cut the hard metals quite easily. They are also highly resistant to any chemical attacks. So, they are pretty much durable and can last for a long time. When these inserts cut the hard metal for machining it produce an extreme temperature. In this situation it can perform superbly and it can also be used to increase self-done hot cuttings. These are thus widely used all over for machining hard metals like aluminum alloy, copper, zinc and tungsten carbide. These tipped inserts are made of pure polycrystalline diamond and cannot be destroyed. It provides the best performance and offer hardness too. It also has a high wear resistant power with a long service life. They are also available in affordable prices and thus industries do not have to spend a lot over these inserts. It has a superior processing precision and with all these qualities and benefits, these inserts are grabbing a great position in market place worldwide.

![]() Patients should be referred to cognitive behavior therapy for chronic, bothersome primary tinnitus. Patient-oriented recommendation from the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and European guidelines based on observational studies with significant benefit over harm Imaging should be avoided unless tinnitus is unilateral, pulsatile, associated with asymmetric hearing loss, or with focal neurologic abnormalities. Patients should be referred within four weeks for audiologic examination if tinnitus is chronic, bothersome, unilateral, or associated with hearing changes. Guideline recommendation based on observational studies Guideline recommendation based on limited-quality studies of patient-oriented outcomesĪ focused history and physical examination should be performed to identify tinnitus characteristics and examination findings that direct differential diagnosis, further evaluation, and treatment options. Patients with primary tinnitus that is not bothersome do not require further intervention. 5, 7 Guidelines recommend a standard approach to history and physical examination that can begin the process of determining the etiology of the tinnitus, followed by audiometric testing and imaging, laboratory studies, and other testing as appropriate. 5, 6 Vascular and neuromuscular etiologies are the more common causes of secondary tinnitus. Secondary tinnitus results from sound generated by a source near the ear or referred to the ear, and is rare, accounting for less than 1% of tinnitus cases. 4 The etiology of primary tinnitus is often unclear, but most cases are associated with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). 1 – 3 At least 20% of people diagnosed with tinnitus will seek clinical intervention. Tinnitus is a common problem among adults in the United States, with an estimated prevalence of 10% to 15% and peak incidence between 60 and 69 years of age. Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease, and although it is typically not associated with a dangerous condition, it can significantly affect quality of life. ![]() Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an objective internal or external source. Providing information about the natural progression of tinnitus and being familiar with the causes that warrant additional evaluation, imaging, and specialist involvement are essential to comprehensive care. Avoidance of noise exposure may help prevent the development or progression of tinnitus. Melatonin, antidepressants, and cognitive training may help with sleep disturbance, mood disorders, and cognitive impairments, respectively. Sound therapy and tinnitus retraining therapy are treatment options, but evidence is inconclusive. Cognitive behavior therapy is the only treatment that has been shown to improve quality of life in patients with tinnitus. Neuroimaging is not part of the standard workup unless the tinnitus is asymmetric or unilateral, pulsatile, associated with focal neurologic abnormalities, or associated with asymmetric hearing loss. A comprehensive audiologic evaluation should be performed for patients who experience unilateral tinnitus, tinnitus that has been present for six months or longer, or that is accompanied by hearing problems. Less common but potentially dangerous causes such as vascular tumors and vestibular schwannoma should be ruled out. A standard workup begins with a targeted history and physical examination to identify treatable causes and associated symptoms that may improve with treatment. Most cases of tinnitus are benign and idiopathic and are strongly associated with sensorineural hearing loss. ![]() Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing a sound in the absence of an internal or external source and is a common problem encountered in primary care. |
