But if you ask us for our all time fave museum button. When the new, interactive Young V&A opens in July, we're going to be a quivering mess. It hardly even matters what the button actually does, although chances are it'll just make an area of a map light. They're so much better than all the vases and sculptures and writing and stuff. The absolute dream as a kid (and adult) is pressing the buttons in museums. On the subject of buttons on tube trains, we did once have the pleasure of pressing the two - yes, two - buttons that make tube trains move off from each station. Our advice? Buy yourself a decommissioned Jubilee line tube button, turn it into a doorbell and press it to your heart's content. We all know what happens next: the door flings opens before you can make flesh-to-button contact, and your arm jerks upwards to scratch your head, as if that was the plan all along. Even as a seasoned Londoner, we've occasionally forgotten we're not on a mainline service and - the shame! - gone to press the button. Like lift buttons, those on tube trains are usually gratuitous. Like the head-twisting combo we snapped at Centrepoint (above). On the opposite end of the scale, some lift buttons we wouldn't DARE press. We remember the time an elevator concierge at The Shard sighed at us "You don't need to do that" when we tried to press the button to take us to the 31st floor (sounded like the 31st time he'd told someone that day.) Underground lifts at the likes of Covent Garden and Borough don't require pressing either, although that won't stop tourists from having a bloody good try. But here's the rub: often the lifts are on auto, and you needn't - nay, can't - put your dirty digits anywhere the buttons. London's bristling with buildings tall and tube stations deep. Because sometimes, you just fancy a chianti over a Coke Zero. And an honourable mention in our 'booze buttons' section should go to the wine vending machines at branches of Vagabond. More Press for Champagne buttons are to be found in the booths at St Pancras station's fizz bar (see above) situated alongside the Eurostar tracks. However, the fertility of these male snakes was not determined 3, 17. In three other cases, captive female pythons have produced parthenogenetic offspring after having been observed copulating with male conspecifics. Genetic analyses demonstrated that these were comprised of parthenogenetic offspring despite what appeared to be potential mating opportunities 16. After a four year period of isolation she was housed with other male conspecifics during which she produced two litters. A captive Boa constrictor imperator produced a litter through a sexual encounter with a co-housed male B. Only one other published study demonstrates this switch within an individual vertebrate. A single female eagle ray switched from sexual reproduction to producing a pup asexually less than one year after being separated from the male 9. The presence of sexually produced litters captured from the same regions and time periods as parthenogenetic offspring suggest that complete isolation from males during a female’s reproductive lifetime may not be a requirement or even a driver.Ī recent study on a captive eagle ray Aetobatus narinari suggests that relatively short periods of separation from a potential mate may trigger a shift in reproductive strategy 9. This genetic signature in vertebrates is mostly attributed to the mechanism of terminal fusion automixis, the restoration of diploidy by fusion of the egg with a polar body 12, although gametic duplication also leads to elevated homozygosity and in most cases cannot be disregarded as the potential mechanism 3. Parthenogenetic offspring in these populations were identified among sexually produced offspring based on their unusually high levels of genetic homozygosity. In particular, parthenogenesis has been demonstrated in wild vertebrate populations: pit viper snakes 15 and sawfish 8. Novel lines of evidence can help elucidate the prevalence and function of parthenogenesis in vertebrates. This raises questions regarding the adaptive strategy of facultative parthenogenesis in these isolated incidences or whether parthenogenesis in most vertebrates is accidental 14. Most documented cases of facultative parthenogenesis in vertebrates have been recorded from females in captive environments that have had no exposure to male conspecifics during their entire reproductive lifetime 3, 6. Mammals are an exception as facultative parthenogenesis does not naturally occur in this group due to intracellular processes such as genomic imprinting during gametogenesis 13. Facultative parthenogenesis, the occurrence of asexual reproduction in otherwise sexually producing species, is found more widely across major vertebrate groups including reptiles, birds, bony fish and six species of sharks and rays 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Obligate parthenogenesis, where all individuals within a species reproduce asexually, is restricted to the Squamate reptiles 2, 3. Occurrences of parthenogenetic reproduction in vertebrate organisms have been increasingly documented (recorded from >0.1% of extant vertebrate species) 1. Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which embryos develop in the absence of fertilisation. However, this does not discredit the film as a movie about a young man’s coming of age through a journey he never expected to even enter and how this adventure would change his life forever.Įnter the Warrior’s Gate is quite a fun adventure that is more geared towards a younger audience but still is quite a journey full of culture clashing and some comic relief in the vein of the villain and his henchman, and a coming of age tale for a young gamer who goes on the adventure of a lifetime.The Touring is in the midrange of the Lucid Air models. If you’ve seen many of the Chinese period action pieces, then you know what to expect. Look out for martial arts legend Kara Hui, who recently retired from action films, in an extended cameo as the “Mountain Spirit” along with Ron Smoorenburg in the opening of the film as Jack’s avatar, the Black Knight.ĭon’t expect anything spectacular from the action of the film. Hong Kong acting veteran Francis Ng also brings a bit of comic relief as the Wizard, who is responsible for Jack getting into the entire adventure to start. This would lead into some funny conversations between the ruler and his right hand man. However, when a messenger would inform Arun of something major happening, when Arun means one thing, his buffoonish henchman Brutus, played by Zha Ka, would kill the messenger. While Dave Bautista’s Arun the Cruel is perceived as the deadly leader of the Barbarians who wants Su Lin as his bride so they can rule under his iron fist, Besson and Kamen wisely add a touch of comic relief showing a side no one would expect from this villainous character. As for Uriah Shelton’s Jack, he learns a thing or two about how kingdoms worked and learns to stand up for himself with few moves by lead Mark Chao, who plays the soldier Zhoo, who is so loyal and adds unintentional comic relief when he threatens the same brand of punishment for disobeying him or Su Lin. It’s a true case of culture shock, one in which she gladly takes in stride. What is interesting is that we are introduced to Ni Ni’s Princess Su Lin when she appears in the modern world, where she learns things are not as they seem. The film meshes gaming with elements of the 2008 film The Forbidden Kingdom, with its central theme of a young gamer who ends up in ancient China through a portal but unlike the 2008 film, it is more about teaching and learning cultures all within a story involving the rescue of a princess at the hands of a barbarian leader. Nevertheless, this collaboration between Besson’s EuropaCorp and Mark Gao’s Fundamental Films is a mixed bag of goodies under the helming of Matthias Hoene, the director of the recent cult classic Cockneys vs. Perhaps the target for this film is for a younger audience as well as their Chinese audience. The collaborative duo of Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen have produced both really good films but at the same time, perhaps due to the pressures of distributions, very unnecessary sequels ( Taken 2 and 3 and Transporter 3 anyone?) However, with both of their most-well known franchises becoming adapted into television series, it was time for something a little different. Will he be able to rescue the princess or will it be too late for the young gamer? Jack soon finds himself with Zhoo on the adventure of a lifetime. Zhoo informs Jack that Su Lin has been kidnapped and forced to marry the Barbarian leader, Arun the Cruel. At first, Su Lin and Jack seem to get along well but when a group of Barbarians arrive to kidnap Su Lin and return to the chest, Jack follows them and ends up in ancient China. When Zhoo learns the truth, he is unhappy but entrusts Jack to watch Su Lin. When a mysterious warrior named Zhoo, a bodyguard to Princess Su Lin, arrives from within the chest that night, Zhoo mistakes Jack for being the Black Knight, his video game character. Chen, Jack is about to be part of something never he never imagined. When he is given the gift of a chest by store owner Mr. Jack’s only thing to make him calm, is gaming, where he plays as the Black Knight, a warrior in a game that involves him having to save a princess. With being bullied by a small extreme sports group led by Travis and his mother’s failing career in real estate has led to a foreclosure of their house. Jack Bronson is not having a great home life. A video gamer enters a world he never imagined in this film from the writers of the Transporter franchise that combines action and fantasy with touches of comedy.

It has been copied and used all over the world at various universities and libraries since I posted it online many years ago. Reading Plato may be a bit of a challenge for newcomers so I recommend you to have the students read “How to do philosophy”. Add to this that some of the philosophers are included more than once, you can also order your selections under the themes of ‘Some Great thinkers in Western Philosophy’ or ‘An Incomplete History of Philosophy’.īefore jumping into the main chapters, both Russell’s “The Value of Philosophy” and Plato’s “Apology” are useful for students to get a good sense of what philosophy is and why we do it. The selections herein within these six fields are presented in chronological order so that a very rough timeline of intellectual thought is captured. We move from talking about the individual doing the right thing or good thing to presenting works regarding collective behaviour and the good of society. Then, when students are familiar with those topics we move on to consider the ‘big question’ that many students have (or at least often associate with philosophy), namely, “Does God exist?” Since religious beliefs are often tied to how one lives one’s life, Ethics is the focus of the next chapter. For example, we move from the basic issues in chapter one regarding knowledge and how one can know to consider claims about what we know to exist in chapter two. Furthermore, while you can obviously choose whatever texts you want to examine and in any order, each chapter is directly or indirectly connected to the next one. Major areas of philosophy covered here are: Ethics, Epistemology, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Religion, Ethics, Socio-Political Philosophy, and finally, Aesthetics.Īlthough I’ve chosen copyright free pieces that would be used in a typical Introduction to Philosophy class you may wish to personalize it (or modernize it) with supplementary readings. Accordingly, the title of this collection hints at the facts that these readings are from the original sources and that these philosophers were the originators of many of the issues we still discuss today. It is important for students not only to get an appreciation and understanding of philosophy but also to be exposed to the very words and ideas of those who have shaped our thinking over the centuries.

Police said they believe the two incidents are unrelated. One person reported trying to get the gun away from Dye, who then pointed it at the person's chest and said, "Get back."ĭye was arrested on counts of aggravated assault and negligent use of a firearm and booked in the Los Alamos County jail following an evaluation at a local hospital. Dye was swinging a gun around and threatening suicide, according to an arrest warrant affidavit filed in Los Alamos County Magistrate Court. Witnesses at the home told police 57-year-old David N. to a home on 34th Street in response to a 911 call reporting a man was firing a gun inside a home. Officers were dispatched around 12:30 p.m. The earlier incident in the neighborhood Wednesday involved mental health-related gun violence, police said. "The victim was a daughter, sister, mother and grandmother we send our deepest condolences to the family," Morris said in the release. The Los Alamos Police Department will continue to investigate all aspects of the homicide "to ensure everything is properly documented, and all questions are answered surrounding this tragedy," Deputy Chief Oliver Morris said in the release Friday. Markham sat in a wheelchair during the hearing. Horne said there was concern in 2009 about how Markham would fare in prison because of diabetes and other chronic diseases. 7Police have identified two people found dead Wednesday in a Los Alamos home as a brother and sister, and are investigating the incident as a. "Not one time did he revile his wife, did he excuse the deed or offer a legitimate cause for this tragedy," Horne said, according to the report. In a court hearing in May 2009, Markham's defense attorney, Damian Horne, said his client was silent about the reason for his action and repeatedly apologized for killing his wife, calling her "my wife and best friend, lover, partner, my better half, fishing buddy, traveling companion," according to the report. Jack Markham shot his wife three times in the chest and then called 911 but never provided a motive for the killing, according to a previous report in The New Mexican. He was on probation until September 2022 and was prohibited from owning a firearm. Six years of the sentence were suspended, and Markham was released in early 2017.

Compared to the previous app I looked at, I’m much happier with Sync Solver. Sync Solver costs €4.99 up-front and then you’re done. If you want, you can still open the app and manually sync throughout the day. You can change the settings to be more aggressive but remember that more aggressive means more impact on battery life. Typically, you’ll get an automatic sync two or three times a day. One drawback is that it doesn’t sync very regularly. Sync Solver continues to link my Fitbit step data with Apple Health. You pay for this app up-front and then there are no additional fees to worry about. Now, this still isn’t free but the price is more reasonable at €4.99. Sync SolverĪnd that better solution was Sync Solver. That’s why I went back looking again and found a better solution. I can see what it may be tempting to pay for this given it solves a specific problem, but the value just didn’t seem right for me given all it will take is an agreement between Google and Apple to rule this app dead in the water. You can pay monthly for €6.49, annually for €43.99 or get a lifetime pass for €59.99. Automatic sync is a premium extra and extremely pricey so I never paid for it. Fitbit to Apple Health Sync can link your steps to Apple Health but will only do so when you manually open the app and tap sync. I liked it because it was free to get started and it worked, even if it is a bit manual. This is the first app I have used for quite some time. You’re trusting a third party to connect your data. Neither of these apps has been developed by Apple or Google. I found two apps that can do this but both have pros and cons. The solution lies in using a third-party app. It’s so lovely, I didn’t want to give up on finding a way to sync the data, bridging a gap between Apple and Google. That’s a real shame because Apple Health is a lovely app. There is no direct way to sync your Fitbit step data to Apple Health. I’ve learned how to beat it into shape, forcing it to sync and even getting my steps into a widget for some of my favourite iOS 15 home screen layouts. I like Apple Health, but my Sense doesn’t play nicely with it. I say Google-owned because that means the tracker is firmly competing with Apple which leads to some problems. But I continue to resist Apple Watch, opting instead for the Google-owned Fitbit Sense. I’m writing this on my MacBook, with experience of using my iPhone 12 and iPad. Tap on the app you want to revoke, and you can turn off access to certain health data.After many years of resistance to Apple, I’ve found myself sitting slap bang in the middle of their ecosystem. From the Health app, open the Sharing option in the bottom navigation bar and select Apps. Revoke Data SharingĪt any time, you can revoke access to your health data if you no longer want it to be shared with other apps. We recommend doing further research about any of these apps before downloading and committing to in-app purchases. The process for using third-party services will vary by app, but each will present a standard Apple screen asking what data you want the app to read or write. There's even an option to go the opposite way: Sync Solver Health to Fitbit moves Health data onto your Fitbit. Apps like Power Sync for Fitbit, Fitbit to Apple Health Sync, and Sync Solver - Fitbit to Health ($5.99) can sync daily Fitbit data to the Health app. Strava isn't your only option other third-party apps can sync and export data from Fitbit into Apple Health, too. And if the data is in the Health app, it will then be available on your Apple Watch. (It also supports Garmin, Wahoo, Polar, and Suunto.) Strava can then serve as a passthrough that collects Fitbit data and imports it into Apple's Health app. Once Apple’s Health app is connected to Strava, you need to connect Strava with your Fitbit.įrom the Devices screen in the Strava app, select the Fitbit option, and follow the instructions. Note that Strava will only import the past 30 days of data. You can then enable automatic uploads of activity data from Strava to Health as well as import past data. Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to open Settings, then tap Application, Services, and Devices > Connect with Health and allow the connection. To set this up, open the Strava app on your iPhone and tap the You icon along the bottom menu. application on their iPhones) gave them great confidence going forward.
