Escher’s ‘Relativity’ is the gold standard for those who love art, optical illusions, and defying the laws of physics. It can even be the centerpiece of your collection if you adore a good mental workout. Let’s go on to dissect this iconic piece properly.\n\nThere is, of course, masterful use of perspective––it’s definitely a metaphorical elephant in the room. It’s certainly not unusual to see a three-point perspective, but to see the vanishing points form a triangle is impressive. If you remember from early school days, you’ll know a typical formation of a three-point perspective involves two horizon vanishing points and the third being above or below.\n\nAs for lines, Escher used cross-hatching to create depth and shading. Even the faceless humanoid figures look eerily real due to the expert lines. The direction of the lines is also important, as they seem to mold the structures within the piece\n\nIn conclusion, M.C. Escher’s ‘Relativity’ takes us through a parallel dream world in which gravity is only a suggestion and not a law. You could pick out symbolism and references, but a technical artist will argue that perspective and line are the show's stars.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

No one knows exactly how hot, but scientists think it could be about 43,000°F (24,000°C) near Jupiter's core.\n• Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and its gravity is very weak.

The rings are so thin that they are almost transparent, and they can only be seen from Earth when the sunlight hits them at just the right angle.\n\nSegment 3\n\nHere's our joke of the day:\n\nQ: What do you call a sleeping bull?\nA: A bull-dozer!\n\nOutro (ending)\n\nThanks for listening to the Sunnyvale Elementary School podcast.

That’s despite it being effectively superseded by iCloud Photo Library roughly eight years ago. Now that you’re up to date, the second piece of news is that My Photo Stream is shutting down in a couple of months’ time on July 26th, according to an Apple Support page spotted by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.\n\nThe end of My Photo Stream won’t come as too much of a surprise. Although it was free, it came with a long list of restrictions on the amount of photos you could upload, and these were only saved on Apple’s servers for 30 days. Photos saved in the cloud then had to be manually saved locally if you wanted to keep them on a secondary device and, perhaps worst of all, 9to5Mac notes that high-quality photos weren’t synced in their original resolution. \n\niCloud’s free storage may be relatively limited at just 5GB, but at least it acts like a modern cloud storage service with photos and videos stored in their full resolution. \n\nApple’s support page notes that new photo uploads to My Photo Stream will come to an end on June 26th, and that the feature will disappear entirely a month later. “The photos in My Photo Stream are already stored on at least one of your devices,” Apple’s page notes, “So as long as you have the device with your originals, you won’t lose any photos as part of this process.” ", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Q: Is My Photo Stream, Apple's cloud-based photo syncing feature, still available in 2023?\nA: Yes, My Photo Stream is still available in 2023 despite being superseded by iCloud Photo Library.\n\nQ: When will My Photo Stream be shutting down?\nA: My Photo Stream is set to shut down on July 26th.\n\nQ: Is the end of My Photo Stream surprising?\nA: The end of My Photo Stream is not surprising because it had limitations such as restricted photo uploads, photos saved for only 30 days, and a lack of syncing high-quality photos in their original resolution.\n\nQ: How does iCloud differ from My Photo Stream?\nA: iCloud offers modern cloud storage with photos and videos stored in their full resolution, unlike My Photo Stream.\n\nQ: When will new photo uploads to My Photo Stream come to an end?\nA: New photo uploads to My Photo Stream will come to an end on June 26th.\n\nQ: Will users lose any photos when My Photo Stream shuts down?\nA: “The photos in My Photo Stream are already stored on at least one of your devices,” Apple’s page notes, “So as long as you have the device with your originals, you won’t lose any photos as part of this process.” ", "role": "assistant" } ]

Who doesn't remember a cool, summer evening out with friends and family enjoying a little bit of crispy, chocolatey goodness? In this article, we will explore three simple ways to bring that s'mores experience inside your home.\n\n1. Microwaving S'mores: The microwave is the simplest and most often used method for making a homemade s'more. It is a simple process. All you need to do is put a graham cracker down on a microwave-safe plate or napkin, then top it with a piece of chocolate, and then the marshmallow. You are going to want to watch it closely depending on the power of your machine so try to do it in 15-second intervals. As soon as you see the chocolate starting to glisten and the marshmallow itself change shape it is time to take it out and use the other graham cracker to smush it down. Then it is ready to eat.\n\n2. Air Frying S'mores: Air fryers are the new wonder machine of the modern kitchen. They can impart a toasty flavor to the graham cracker giving it a hint of campfire goodness. When you close your eyes, you can hardly tell the difference. To make a s'more in an air fryer you first put both graham crackers in the bottom of the basket. Top one of the graham crackers with a marshmallow and set your device to around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It should take about 5 minutes for the marshmallow to brown and heat up. When it does, pull out the basket, put a chocolate bar piece on top of the marshmallow, and then complete the sandwich using the other toasted graham cracker half. Enjoy immediately.\n\n3. Oven S'mores: Making s'mores in an oven is nearly the same as in an air fryer. Place graham cracker halves on a baking sheet, place a piece of chocolate on one and marshmallow on the other, set the oven to 400 degrees, place the sheet on top rack for a few minutes then pull it out. From here, you can put the two halves together, and now you have a delicious s'more to enjoy at any day or time.\n\nS'mores aren't just for summer; bite into one all year round!", "role": "assistant" } ]

The Dover Demon. \nIn 1977, in the space of two days, three teenagers, all of whom were separate at the time of the sightings, swear they saw a creature with “large eyes that glowed and tendril fingers.” When authorities plotted the sightings on a map, the path was a straight line for two miles, but the creature was never found. \nThat’s the only time the creature was ever spotted in Dover, Massachusetts, but those three sightings sparked legends for decades. \n\n2. Yowie – also known as Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Bigfoot, and Yeti (depending on where you go to hear about sightings). \nThis large, hairy, humanoid creature has many names, and many cryptozoologists believe that there are hundreds of these creatures across the world because of the numerous locations of supposed sightings. Grainy photographs have captured massive footprints and what could be eyes in the wilderness, while other pictures show human-like figures, covered in hair, from very far away. \nThe first-ever reported sighting of Bigfoot was in 1811 in Alberta, Canada, but Native Americans have talked of similar creatures in their stories and folklore for centuries. \n\n3. The Jersey Devil. \nThe folklore of The Jersey Devil spawns from a story about Mother Leeds, a New Jersey woman with twelve children. She discovered that she was pregnant with her thirteenth child and, in a fit of rage, cursed her pregnancy, offering the child to whoever listened. When the baby was born, it sprouted the features of a goat, horse, and bat all at once, then flew off into the trees. \nSome of The Jersey Devil's legend has been proven as fact. There was a Mother Leeds, and she left a written will to 12 children, but there’s never been documented evidence of the thirteenth child. There have been over 1,000 sightings of The Jersey Devil up until 2016, and the cryptid is often blamed for any bad luck that New Jersey farmers have with livestock and crops. \n\n4. Champ (or Champy) \nSea serpents have been the subject of cryptozoological sightings for centuries, but Champ is one of the most famous in Vermont, New York, and parts of Canada where Lake Champlain extends for 125 miles. There have been 300 sightings since 1609, but the most notable was a report in 1970 that described the creature as “a twenty-foot-long serpent, thick as a barrel, with a head like a horse.” ", "role": "assistant" } ]

He knew his capabilities; he was a good typist and a decent writer. Driven by the fear of having to live another day without enough money for food for his family, Melvin applied for the job, and after being hired by the company and working there for several months, he had enough money to pay for food at the grocery store. \n\nWhile at the store, something caught his eye: the national $50 million lottery. Melvin decided to take a small chance and put down the $10 for the ticket, with the slimmest and most remote of hopes that he would hit it big. That hope became extraordinary joy and disbelief when his ticket was the winning ticket for the $50 million, and now he was a multimillionaire virtually overnight.\n\nHowever, his joy and happiness were soon replaced by feelings of emptiness and sorrow as the people around him, those he considered friends, began asking for more and more money and left when the money ran out. Melvin had spent the entire $50 million within the short span of a year, buying a house, throwing lavish parties, and blowing through the rest with reckless abandon. Melvin bought seemingly useless or meaningless items, such as a dinosaur's skull, a comic book collection, diamond-studded jewelry for his sons, and diamond-studded collars for his dogs.

If you struggle to maintain a good oral hygiene regimen, the demineralization effect on your tooth enamel can gradually weaken the seam between the natural tooth enamel and the dental filling material.

This usually involves removing a small amount of the surrounding tooth enamel before applying a slightly larger dental filling. \n\nIf the bad dental filling is large or a new area of tooth decay has developed in the adjacent tooth enamel your dentist might recommend treating the tooth with a dental crown restoration. This will call for completely replacing the entire tooth enamel layer. \n\nThough one thing's for sure. The longer you wait to get a suspected bad filling treated, the more likely it is to fail.

Slowly ween your dog out of the area of confinement once they are fully using this area within 10 minutes.\n\n2. Bells: Hang bells on your door knob. Each time you go outside use your dog's paw to tap the bells. The idea behind this is that when the dog needs to go to the bathroom, it will tap the bells, alerting you to the fact they need to go outside. \n\n3. Be Alert: Be alert to your dog's elimination patterns. Do they need to go to the bathroom after eating, sleeping, or playing? If there is a pattern, you can easily take your dog outside after these activities. This also includes signs your dog is exhibiting when needing to go outside to potty, such as:\n • Spinning in circles.\n • Going to areas where they have previously had accidents.\n • Hiding in another room, around corners, behind furniture.\n • Scratching or barking at the door. \n\n4.

When employees feel valued, they generally work harder and more productively and are more engaged in their jobs.\n\nIt's important to remember that hearing and listening are two different things. Listening requires you to concentrate on what your employees say, rather than simply letting their voices wash over your eardrums without effect.\n\nIf, after listening to your team you decide to go in a different direction, make sure to explain to your team why you made that choice. That way they always feel respected.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The second habit of a great boss is actively listening to their employees.

[ { "content": "When was Jean Racing baptized? Where did she die?\n\nJean Racine, in full Jean-Baptiste Racine, (baptized December 22, 1639, La Ferté-Milon, France—died April 21, 1699, Paris), French dramatic poet and historiographer renowned for his mastery of French classical tragedy. His reputation rests on the plays he wrote between 1664 and 1691, notably Andromaque (first performed 1667, published 1668), Britannicus (first performed 1669, published 1670), Bérénice (first performed 1670, published 1671), Bajazet (first performed and published 1672), Phèdre (first performed and published 1677), and Athalie (first performed and published 1691).\n\nRacine was born into a provincial family of minor administrators who were financially comfortable and socially ambitious. His mother died 13 months after he was born, and his father died two years later. His maternal grandparents took him in, and, when his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, became a widow, she brought Racine with her, perhaps as early as 1646, to live at the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris. Since a group of devout scholars and teachers had founded a school there, Racine had the opportunity to study the classics of Latin and Greek literature with distinguished masters. The school was steeped in the austere Roman Catholic reform movement that came to be known as Jansenism, which had recently been condemned by the church as heretical. The Jansenists participated in the centuries-long debate over the primacy of free will or of divine omnipotence in the process of salvation. Inspired by the writings of Saint Augustine, as transmitted by Cornelius Otto Jansen, bishop of Ypres, in his work Augustinus (1640), the Jansenists believed that salvation was a gift—a grace—that was accorded only by God and that free will played little role in the process. For these Augustinians, life on earth was to be a rigorous pursuit of penance for original sin. Since the French monarchy suspected the Jansenists of being not only theologically but also politically subversive, Racine’s lifelong relationship with his former friends and teachers remained ambivalent, inasmuch as the artist ever sought admittance into the secular realm of court society. His former teachers remained extremely disappointed in a man who had used his excellent education as a means of succeeding in a profession that Port-Royal considered an abomination, because the theatre promoted illusion as a distraction from reflection on the wretched human condition. The degree to which his upbringing at Port-Royal inspired Racine’s tragic vision is a question unlikely to be answered with any precision, given the other influences exerted on him, such as those of Greek and Roman tragedy, the Bible, and life itself.\n\nAfter leaving Port-Royal in 1653, Racine transferred to the College of Beauvais for almost two years and then returned to Port-Royal in October 1655 to complete his studies in rhetoric. The school at Port-Royal was closed by the authorities in 1656, but Racine was allowed to stay on there. When he was 18, the Jansenists sent him to study law at the College of Harcourt in Paris. Racine had both the disposition and the talent to thrive in the cultural climate of Paris, where to conform and to please—in Racine’s case, to please by his pen—were indispensable assets. One of the first manifestations of Racine’s intentions was his composition of a sonnet in praise of Jules Cardinal Mazarin, the prime minister of France, for successfully concluding a peace treaty with Spain (1659). This tribute reveals Racine’s strategy of social conquest through what was to become a vocation and a mission: to be acknowledged as the greatest literary figure of his age, in effect the Euripides of classical France.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Jean Racine was baptized on December 22, 1639.

What did he carry into the court with him?\n\nThe twelve jurors were all writing very busily on slates. “What are they doing?” Alice whispered to the Gryphon. “They can’t have anything to put down yet, before the trial’s begun.”\n\n“They’re putting down their names,” the Gryphon whispered in reply, “for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial.”\n\n“Stupid things!” Alice began in a loud, indignant voice, but she stopped hastily, for the White Rabbit cried out, “Silence in the court!” and the King put on his spectacles and looked anxiously round, to make out who was talking.\n\nAlice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down “stupid things!” on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn’t know how to spell “stupid,” and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him. “A nice muddle their slates’ll be in before the trial’s over!” thought Alice.\n\nOne of the jurors had a pencil that squeaked. This of course, Alice could not stand, and she went round the court and got behind him, and very soon found an opportunity of taking it away. She did it so quickly that the poor little juror (it was Bill, the Lizard) could not make out at all what had become of it; so, after hunting all about for it, he was obliged to write with one finger for the rest of the day; and this was of very little use, as it left no mark on the slate.\n\n“Herald, read the accusation!” said the King.\n\nOn this the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and then unrolled the parchment scroll, and read as follows:—\n\n“The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,\n All on a summer day:\nThe Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,\n And took them quite away!”\n\n“Consider your verdict,” the King said to the jury.\n\n“Not yet, not yet!” the Rabbit hastily interrupted. “There’s a great deal to come before that!”\n\n“Call the first witness,” said the King; and the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and called out, “First witness!”\n\nThe first witness was the Hatter. He came in with a teacup in one hand and a piece of bread-and-butter in the other. “I beg pardon, your Majesty,” he began, “for bringing these in: but I hadn’t quite finished my tea when I was sent for.”\n\n“You ought to have finished,” said the King. “When did you begin?”\n\nThe Hatter looked at the March Hare, who had followed him into the court, arm-in-arm with the Dormouse. “Fourteenth of March, I think it was,” he said.\n\n“Fifteenth,” said the March Hare.\n\n“Sixteenth,” added the Dormouse.\n\n“Write that down,” the King said to the jury, and the jury eagerly wrote down all three dates on their slates, and then added them up, and reduced the answer to shillings and pence.\n\n“Take off your hat,” the King said to the Hatter.\n\n“It isn’t mine,” said the Hatter.\n\n“Stolen!” the King exclaimed, turning to the jury, who instantly made a memorandum of the fact.\n\n“I keep them to sell,” the Hatter added as an explanation; “I’ve none of my own. I’m a hatter.”\n\nHere the Queen put on her spectacles, and began staring at the Hatter, who turned pale and fidgeted.\n\n“Give your evidence,” said the King; “and don’t be nervous, or I’ll have you executed on the spot.”\n\nThis did not seem to encourage the witness at all: he kept shifting from one foot to the other, looking uneasily at the Queen, and in his confusion he bit a large piece out of his teacup instead of the bread-and-butter.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The Hatter was the first witness.

Melungeon was a derogatory word combined with the words “malungo” which means shipmate in African, and “meln jinn,” which means cursed soul in Turkish. \n 3. Melungeon skin tone varies from light to dark, showcasing their mixed heritage. The Melungeon people had been classified in the U.S census as “free persons of color.”\n 4. The Melungeon people have rich diverse cultural traditions they share in storytelling, music, and culinary practice. Their diverse ancestry has created a rich folkloric heritage, mixed with the cultural aspects of the Appalachian region. \n 5. Melungeon communities were more widely known in Wise County, Virginia, and Hancock County, Tennessee.

A local farmer boy from a humble town in Kansas. A city slicker with something to prove from Manhattan. Both attended Oxen University in 1872 and shared their collective visions for the best donut restaurant experience in the world. What started as a shared vision between the two resulted in separation and rivalry for generations to come. Duncan P. Anderson was the founder of the popular retail donut chain, Duncan's Donuts, established in 1875. Fritz Everett was the founder of the premium donut phenomenon rival, Crispy Screams, established one year later in 1876.\n\n• Both companies are worth a whopping $220 billion each today. Their missions are both similar and simple: to create the best donut experience for the American consumer. But in their execution, they are worlds apart.\n\n• Duncan's Donuts has shifted its approach to its target market and business strategy over time. What started as a cost-effective donut factory grew into a sleek, modern fast casual donut experience that mostly caters to adults. The theme is dark and neon. They have a happy hour from 9pm to 2am. The chain is unique for its offerings of beverages and donuts together. One of its most successful products, the 'lit' donut, was created in 2008. It infuses the bitter, aromatic compounds of fermented malts, with the sweet, syrupy cake of a donut.\n\n• Crispy Screams started from day one as a family experience. Each location is both a factory and a shop, allowing consumers to watch the donuts be made fresh daily. They offer one free hot donut off the conveyer belt to every family that walks in. Crispy Screams exists as a philanthropic business that donates 50% of its after-tax earnings to local families and communities. Its mission is to raise money to unite families, especially in hardships such as abuse, separation, or disability. It has donated $725 million in its 145-year journey since 1876.
