Magical doremi compact9/18/2023 ![]() ![]() Sometimes, this can get in the way and make the more interesting parts of the show seem a bit rushed, but it’s also used to show their trials in magic provide valuable lessons in life or vice versa. ![]() The episodes are presented in a way that there are sometimes two things going on: the girls going through their trials to “witchdom,” and the girls helping out their many friends and family members. They’re entertaining and will want you to find out what happens. While the story is simple, it’s not the kind of simple where older fans will get bored out of their mind. After all, this is a show primarily aimed at a younger audience. Sure, there are a few mini story arcs thrown in the mix, but nothing convoluted. However, I was in for a big surprise as the show exceeded all expectations.Īs you can see, the story isn’t overly complicated. With a few eccentric experiences and the way I was raised, I developed a weakness for cuteness (if you must ask, I am male) and though the show would appeal to me. anime with Sonic X and Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z, I decided to give this show a try, as I started to get familiar with differences between the shonen and shoujo genres. Of course, this was at the time before I got into anime, so I kind of dismissed it, but it was always in the back (and I mean the VERY back of my mind). I’m not exactly sure how I came to know it, but I remember hearing about this show about some kids with some kind of other worldly abilities that was ridiculously popular. It was many years ago when I first heard of this show. Main article: Ojamajo Doremi (season 1) No.Note that this review was originally on my blog, so I may have score that differ from here because of different scoring systems Episode 30 was never released or dubbed in English. The show resumed its run on November 13, 2007, exclusively on the network's web site and released its finale episode on May 2, 2008. The show was then in reruns until August 19, 2006. ![]() The series was regularly aired beginning Septem26 episodes by March 11, 2006. In the United States, Ojamajo Doremi was aired on 4Kids TV under the name Magical DoReMi beginning with a preview episode on August 13, 2005, several scenes were edited or removed. It, a 13-episode sidestory to Mōtto! Ojamajo Doremi, was originally scheduled to be released as an OVA beginning September 24, 2004, but was made available on Sky PerfectTV!! PPV from Jto December 11, 2004. Ojamajo Doremi took a brief hiatus to early 2004, when Toei Animation announced news of making Ojamajo Doremi Na-i-sho. It was released between Digimon Tamers: Battle of Adventurers and Kinnikuman.įollowing Mōtto! Ojamajo Doremi, the fourth and final series, Ojamajo Doremi Dokkān!, aired on TV Asahi from February 3, 2002, to January 26, 2003, and ran 51 episodes. In the summer, another short 30 minute film was released in theaters, titled Kaeru Seki no Himitsu. The Digimon movie was split into two parts and Ojamajo Doremi # The Movie was released between the two parts.Īfter Ojamajo Doremi # ended in 2001, another direct sequel, titled Mōtto! Ojamajo Doremi aired from Februto Januwith 50 episodes. The same year, during summer, a short 30 minute film titled Ojamajo Doremi # The Movie was released along with Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!! / Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals for the 2000 Summer Toei Anime Fair. It ran from Februto Januwith 49 episodes. She is joined by her friends Hazuki Fujiwara and Aiko Senoo to complete nine witch exams in order to accomplish their goal.Ī direct sequel, Ojamajo Doremi #, was created near the end of the show's run and aired right after Ojamajo Doremi's conclusion. The series focuses on a young girl named Doremi Harukaze, who becomes a witch apprentice (witchling in the 4Kids dub). It replaced the time slot for Yume no Crayon Oukoku and a new episode aired weekly.

Diy hidden bookcase door9/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Drawing it at 1-3/4” from the front of the bookcase leaves enough wood to offer proper fastening strength. If the placement of the pivot was to be moved back diagonally towards the center, it would only cause the side gable of the case to be moved in at the hinge side, at the same time resulting in a further increase of the gap to be covered over by the trimming. Figure 5 shows the actual chosen placement with the corner cut-out for the 1/4” clearance. The use of a butt hinge which unfortunately is only acceptable on an “Out” swing because being impossible to conceal, wouldn’t require any part to be cut out of the case at the hinge side, but all of it at the strike side. The location of the pivot on the bookcase has to be far enough from any edges to offer adequate strength, stability, and holding power for the pivot hardware without breaking or cracking. The protruding part will serve to cover up the opening created when cutting off the excess material exceeding the amount of clearance, as outlined by arc #13 in Figure 5. 3) 3-1/2” to 4” wide by 3/4” thick, and extending 1-1/4” over the opening is added, as shown in figure 3. At the front edge of each wall, a trimming (Outlines #7 in Fig. ![]() With Step #4 completed, a rectangle has to be sketched (Outline #6 in Figure 3) representing the net depth and the ideal but impossible maximum width of the bookcase, while respecting a 1/4” tolerance on each side to let the case open without colliding with the jambs. Step 2 - Add the Accessories to the Layout They’ll be represented by Outlines #4 & #5 in Figure 3, but will not necessarily have the same shape, thickness, or proportions. It is now time to sketch out the door jambs on each side of the opening. The opened bookcase will take up to 13-1/2 or more inches of the door opening. *Note- If a different size opening or bookcase in in the plans, proceed the same way but ensuring that the plywood is large enough to accommodate. Measuring and marking 40 inches (see note below) back from Line #2, another perpendicular line (Line #3) is drawn parallel to Line #2 and will be referred to as the Strike side of the hidden door. For this example only, Line #2 will be the hinge side of the “hidden door”. Line #2 comes next and is drawn perpendicular to Line #1 on the plywood at approximately 45-46” from the left side (Figure 2). It's drawn parallel to the front edge of the plywood and should be almost the full length of it, and approximately 6” back from the front edge (Figure 2). Line #1 is the first one drawn and represents the existing wall and doorway into which the bookcase will be installed. Step 1 - Lay out the Wall and Door Opening Sub Step 1 - Size the Door Width The layout of the project will be drawn in the manner of old fashioned Rod Layouts, using a piece of plywood or other sheeting longer than the door opening and no less than 16 inches wide, the case being 12” deep. ![]() The layout used here is for a door with a net opening of 40”, but a larger case requiring a wider opening could easily be used following the same instructions. ![]() Our imagined version hangs on a sturdy pivot hinge, which in turn is mounted on a built-up block behind the baseboard. Since it’s nearly impossible to conceal the joints in the baseboard on each side of the bookcase, it might be a good idea to build it higher from the floor to clear the baseboard, as the one illustrated in figure 1. However, that solution will eventually leave a circular mark on the floor, and it's not very practical in a room with carpeting. Swinging bookcases tend to sag from the weight of the books, so they’re often equipped with a caster at the opening end to support the weight. It only relates to an inswing door (opening towards the person when facing the shelves), which is the most commonly used version, and it's also right handed, with the pivot at the right side of the doorway, but would work just as well with the hinges on the left. The following step by step process will provide example calculations and measurements to give you a sense of what this takes. ![]()

Keep it podcast instagram9/17/2023 ![]() ![]() (Weight-loss drugs are not required to be covered by Medicaid.) Still, about a year ago, Barfield noticed an influx of patients who came in asking for Ozempic by name. Also, GLP-1 drugs are expensive-often more than a thousand dollars a month out of pocket-and insurance companies frequently refuse to cover them. In rare cases, patients might develop renal failure, pancreatitis, or intestinal obstruction. Patients can also experience hair loss, a result that-like the gaunt look that has been termed, not without Schadenfreude, “Ozempic face”-is caused by rapid weight loss rather than by the drug itself. Initial side effects (diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, dizziness, nausea) can be gnarly enough to send people to the E.R. Cole Barfield, an internal-medicine specialist in Nashville, told me, noting that they can spur greater weight loss and more effectively decrease blood-sugar levels than previous frontline treatments-and, unlike many other medications for these conditions, they do not put patients at risk of major cardiovascular events. For people living with these risks, the new medications may be a godsend. ![]() Obesity is correlated with, among other things, higher rates of cancer, sleep apnea, and liver disease. Both conditions involve metabolic dysfunction: Type 2 diabetes is characterized by resistance to insulin, a trait that tends to develop as a person gains fat insulin resistance leads to high blood sugar, which increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, nerve damage, and more. More than forty per cent of Americans are obese, and eleven per cent have been given a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. Their brains actually do tell them to stop eating. “All I can say,” a member of an online group called Lose the Fat wrote, “is that it is no wonder that skinny people think heavy people have no willpower. “I’m convinced that this basically replaced a signal my body has been missing my whole life,” a commenter in a Reddit group for people using semaglutide wrote recently. GLP-1 drugs effectively inject that sense of satiety, and also slow the rate at which food empties out of the stomach patients generally report a freedom from cravings and an inability to overeat without becoming ill. The body naturally releases GLP-1 after a meal, and the hormone travels to the brain, triggering the feeling of fullness. ![]() The drugs mimic a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1, which stimulates insulin production and suppresses the production of glucagon, which raises blood sugar. Podcast: The New Yorker Radio Hour Listen to Jia Tolentino talk with David Remnick about Ozempic. “Really good sources have told me that Kim and Khloé allegedly started on their Ozempic journey last year.” Omari was about to start taking a version of the medication herself. “This is the ‘diabetic shot’ for weight loss everyone’s been talking about,” she wrote. Last spring, Omari shared with her followers the open secret behind such striking thinness: the Kardashians and others, she insisted, were likely taking semaglutide, the active ingredient in the medication Ozempic. All over Instagram, the wealthy and the professionally attractive were showing newly prominent clavicles and rib cages. Kim dropped twenty-one pounds before the Met Gala, where she wore a dress made famous by Marilyn Monroe Khloé, who has spoken in the past about struggling with her weight, posted fortieth-birthday photos in which she looked as slim and blond as a Barbie. Having previously appropriated styles created by Black women, they were now leaning into a skinnier, whiter ideal. Recently, she noticed that the human weathervanes of the social-media beauty standard were spinning in a new direction. This prototype was as technologically mediated as the era that produced it women attained the look by injecting artificial substances, removing natural ones, and altering photographic evidence.ĭana Omari, a registered dietitian and an Instagram influencer in Houston, has accumulated a quarter of a million followers by documenting the blepharoplasties, breast implants, and Brazilian butt lifts of the rich and famous. Young women all over the Internet copied the shape-a sculpted waist, an enormous ass, hips that spread generously underneath a high-cut bikini-and also the face atop it, a contoured hybrid of recognizably human mannequin and sexy feline. The ideal female body of the past decade, born through the godless alliance of Instagram and the Kardashian family, was as juicy and uncanny as a silicone-injected peach. ![]()

Avengers age of ultratron9/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Other than a couple gems, the action in Age of Ultron fell well short of its predecessor. I could make a mini-list about everything wrong with the action scenes in this movie. Unfortunately, the action scenes don't improve matters. ![]() The wood-chopping was funny-there are lots of funny bits scattered about the film-and the dream sequences were interesting, but most of the slower moments were just boring. He's not at all scary (like he's supposed to be.) More on that later. Why not just turn around and beat up Ultron. Hiding out at Hawkeye's farm? Yeah, these guys don't even look beat up. ![]() The "lift Thor's hammer" scene is a good example of how to do humor in an action movie (though mostly everyone had already seen it thanks to the over-marketing campaign moviegoers have been subjected to.)īut many other slow scenes felt bogged down, and there was rarely a sense that our heroes were really in enough trouble to need to catch their breath in the first place. This works okay in Age of Ultron, but for some reason a lot of the slower scenes-not all, but a lot-just don't work at all, and serve only to muck up the film's momentum. It's pretty standard in action movies to sprinkle in slower moments, comic relief, and so forth in between the action to give everyone time to catch their breath. All these little touchy-feely distractions are used to slow down what's an otherwise action-packed adventure.Ģ. 'Age of Ultron' has a serious pacing problem. What's the point? Why do we need to humanize Hawkeye? Just give him more funny lines and let him shoot things with exploding arrows. This is an attempt to humanize him, one presumes, but it just feels.off. Meanwhile, Hawkeye, now questioning his relevance to the team (much as audiences did back when the first Avengers came out) reveals his wife and family to his more super-heroic pals. It's a weird little side plot that doesn't add anything but confusion to the story. But that transforms weirdly, quickly, into an oddly forward Natasha Romanoff hitting on a Bruce Banner almost as confused as me.īy the end of the film, Banner is gone and Natasha is all bummed out, and the audience is pretty much unmoved. The movie constantly tries to tug at your heart-strings (but there are no strings on me!) and almost always fails to land a real emotional punch.īlack Widow and Hulk have a nice moment as she calms the "big guy" down. ![]()

Satrbucks cloud caramel macchiato9/16/2023 ![]() ![]() *Cloud foam contains egg whites.” Grande celebrated the drink’s release by tweeting a photo series in which a Starbucks barista made her a Cloud Macchiato in her home, then suggesting that her fans “try the soy version.” (Cloud foam contains egg cloud #cloudmacchiato #starbucksambassador #trythesoyversion /y2LRAx33Sq- Ariana Grande March 5, 2019 So light and fluffy they’re basically a cloud in a cup. This morning, Starbucks celebrated the merciful end of prolonged suspense with a tweet reading, “Introducing new Iced Cloud Macchiatos in Caramel and Cinnamon. All they could do was say it in capital letters, and promise that if their suspicions turned out to be true, they would order a “grande” of the Grande drink! Very clever, and I’m happy for them that everything worked out. Grande’s fans, of course, suspected that she was creating some kind of new product with Starbucks, but couldn’t prove it. Grande teased the collaboration yesterday with a tweet of two cloud emoji, one coffee cup emoji, one black heart emoji, and today’s date. ![]() Starbucks teased the collaboration yesterday with a tweet of two cloud emoji, one green heart emoji, and one coffee cup emoji. The woman loves clouds! Clouds also feature prominently in the merch for Grande’s 2018 album Sweetener, which includes a sweatshirt with an image of a giant Ariana Grande sitting on top of the Earth and fingering a cloud. It also comes from Grande’s Twitter account, which has more than 62 million followers, from which she tweeted the cloud emoji 98 times in 2018, including nine times in a single tweet teasing the release of her July single “God Is a Woman.” The “cloud” component comes from Starbucks’s trademarked cold foam, which was introduced in 2014. Luxuriously velvety yet far lighter in texture than the more typical whipped cream, the results are arguably more satisfying than a slushy old frappuccino and considerably healthier, too.Ariana Grande has her own Starbucks drink now - a “Cloud Macchiato” that comes in cinnamon or caramel, hot or cold. That’s right: Aquafaba strikes again! Lightly beaten before reaching soft peaks, it holds its shape admirably without casting an overtly beany fog over the beverage. Here’s the silver lining to this cloud: It’s really a snap to make at home.įluffy, ethereal spoonfuls of fine bubbles cloud chilled glasses thanks to everyone’s favorite bean brine. ![]() ![]() Whether served hot or over ice, with cinnamon or caramel, egg whites are the secret ingredient that give this frothy crown its loft. Maddeningly, while a regular macchiato can be made vegan with any non-dairy milk, the cloud cannot. Since more is always better by the American Standard, we simply took that finale to all new heights, turning it into a veritable meringue island on a thimbleful of brown liquid. Starting with a base of steamed milk, a shot of espresso marks the spot, and a layer of foam seals the deal. Literally translated as “stained coffee,” a standard caffè macchiato is much like a latte in basic composition, but wholly unique in assembly. Foam is just one important feature that sets espresso drinks apart from one another, but Starbucks has turned it into the feature, filling half of each plastic cup with the stuff for their new Cloud Macchiato. ![]()
