He’s currently the only athlete on earth consistently benching at or above 750 pounds raw. Still, it’s a noteworthy achievement along Maddox’s storied career. Maddox is the first to note on social that the lift wasn’t up to competition standards, and the lockout at the end of the rep wasn’t perfect. You can see Maddox’s new PR in the clip below. It’s also six kilograms more than his official world record lift of 355 kilograms (782 pounds), which he set in February of 2021. This clearly will give him momentum and confidence as he continues his preparation for his next attempt at his ultimate goal. Sources: 'Duke 2019 Basketball Commitments'. Rivals, 247Sports, and ESPN may conflict in their listings of height and weight. So Maddox has now done more than his current world record in training.

On February 2, 2021, Maddox posted a video on Instagram of himself bench pressing 771 pounds (350 kg) for a single.

The deeper lines exist mainly for solidifying understanding or as a reference for post-game analysis to highlight missed opportunities in the opening. Memorising it all is a less efficient use of time than understanding the ideas. The study is quite extensive and occasionally dives deep into some of the more dangerous tactical lines. Most importantly, the Vienna's sharp and dynamic nature makes it a lot of fun to play. Given that this is meant to be a practical study, I've tried to include common mistakes, some of which are more common than the main lines at some levels (e.g sub-1500). In my experience, the Vienna frequently responded to poorly by black with many 'intuitive' moves being mistakes. Given that it's a comparatively rare 2nd move after e4-e5, the odds are good that your opponent won't know what they're doing and get into trouble while you, if you use this study, hopefully will know what you're doing and be able to punish them.

You can easily get various virtual OS from internet. One of the simplest and most commonly used virtual system would be virtual OS(Operating System). What we call 'Virtual System' or 'Virtualized System', they usually refer to something much complicated and specially designed. Before Windows came out, we used a command line based operating system called DOS.Įven though I mentioned many example for Virtual things above just to give you some intuitive understanding on the meaning of Virtual, what we call 'Virtual System' or 'Virtualization' in serious technical discussoin, we don't refer to anything mentioned above. You may call this as an command line console application (not virtual thing), but we may think of as a virtual DOS. In Windows, you would see a command line consol as shown below. This is another example that you might have used for long time. ![]() Recently we have been using a whole LAN system that are reorganized into various different logical network. In this system, the operating system (e.g, Windows) allocate a certain amount of harddisk block as a memory.Įven though this is not commonly used, you can install a virtual NIC (Network Interface Card) in your PC (In following example system, Ethernet 0 and Ethernet 1 indicates the real (physical NIC) and Ethernet Loopback is a virtual NIC. There is an example in which we used the term 'virtual' for a long time and is used in almost every PC is Virtual Memory. So you can�say the harddisk is virtualized and each of the Hard Disk Icon shown in your file browser is called as a virtual hard disk even though most of people called them as logical hard disk rather than virtual hard disk. You may have only one physical (real) hard disk in your PC, but it is partitioned into three blocks and each of the block act like independent hard disk. �You may have three hard disk in your PC and each of Hard Disk icon represent each separate physical (real) hard disk. Let's assum that you see three hard disk shown in your system as shown below. ![]() Next example is the one we don't normally call 'Virtual' but can be considered as a kind of Virtual thing. That's why we can call this as 'Virtual Keyboard'. This keyboard does not physically exist but it act like a real (physical) keyboard. ![]() Followings are some examples of 'Virtual' things you might have seen.Ī virtual thing that almost everybody might have experienced would be the virtual keyboard (software keyboard) like the one show below. 'Fake' usually imply that it may look similar, but it would not work like real thing.Įven though 'Virtualization' would sound like a big word that you might have started hearing recently, it is highly likely for you to have experienced some primitive form of virtualization for a long time. At least, you wouldn't tell the difference (at least any big difference) between a virtual thing and the reall thing just by using it. 'Something vertual' should work like real (physical) thing. You may ask 'Is Virtual a kind of fake ?'. Virtualization is to convert something real(physically existing form)�in the form of digital format(something that is not physically exists, e.g, software). �virtual images�Īssuming that you can understand the definitions from these dictionaries, I would defined 'Virtualization' as follows : Not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so.

Mog and Owl both observe as Meg searches for food for this new friend, who eventually creates a cocoon for himself, and emerges as a butterfly. When he demands a lunch box of his own, Meg's spell - "Pat of butter / Eye of fly / It may not work / But it's worth a try" - produces one that contains, not a juicy treat, but a growing caterpillar. Mog the cat becomes progressively more jealous of Owl in this thirteenth entry in the Meg and Mog series, observing the wonderful lunches - beetle burgers, vole roles, hot frogs - that Meg prepares for him. In addition to the MEG AND MOG series, Helen has a long and varied association with Puffin - as editor of the Junior Puffin magazine THE EGG from 1977 - 1979, as compiler of the popular children's poetry anthology POEMS FOR SEVEN YEAR OLDS AND UNDER, illustrated by Michael Foreman, and through her partnership with Puffin, the enormously popular series of Puffin Cover to Cover story tapes of which Helen is the Producer. The result is the immensely popular MEG AND MOG series. After working together for four years, they decided it was time to preserve their creativity in book form for future generations of children to enjoy. It was here, as Producer of the children's educational series WATCH, that she first met Jan Pienkowski. Helen Nicoll was a television producer with the BBC for many years. Helen Nicoll married Robert Kime in 1970 and they have one daughter and one son. She was educated at schools in Bristol Dartington Hall, Devon and Froebel Education Institute, London. Helen Nicoll was born in Natland, Westmorland, in 1937. ![]() When the two duet on "Heroes," with the girl tsk-tsking Newton's sung admission that he drinks all the time, it comes off as a sort of art-rock Annie, and not in a good way. ![]() There's also an unmistakably creepy cast to Newton's relationship with his dream girl, who represents his lost daughter but also takes the stage in a dress and blue wig matching the alien's lost love Mary-Lou. While the script's dynamics come alive in the committed performances captured on film (notably by Caruso, who went on to be a breakout Broadway star when cast as Lydia in Beetlejuice), the film also reflects the script's tedious fixation on Valentine, with the connection between his violent character and a cowering Thomas Newton less than successfully elucidated. A good example of this is the song "Changes," which becomes a plaintive lament sung by Elly as her marriage collapses. The effect is something akin to that of the movie Across the Universe, which repurposed and rearranged Beatles songs to tell a story inspired by the characters and events of those songs. Throughout the two-hour, one-act show, the characters sing Bowie songs in a way that speaks to their situations and emotional states. Meanwhile, Newton is threatened by a shady character named Valentine - but given hope by a young girl who appears to him and promises to bring the forlorn alien "back to the stars." He's assisted by Elly, whose attraction to the mysterious Newton arouses the ire of her husband Zach. Hall) still trapped on Earth all these decades later. In Lazarus, we find the ageless Newton (played on stage by Dexter's Michael C. ![]() Thomas Newton became one of Bowie's iconic characters: an alien among us, a man of great power (and great beauty) who's idolized on Earth but forever longing to return to the stars. His vast technological knowledge allows him to become a wealthy industry mogul, but he longs to return to his home planet - despite a passionate and poignant love affair with a (literally) down-to-earth woman named Mary-Lou (Candy Clark). In the film, Newton is a humanoid alien from another planet. That movie, directed by British auteur Nicolas Roeg, was based on a 1963 novel by American author Walter Tevis. It picks up the story of Thomas Newton, a character played by Bowie in the cult-classic 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth. The book (that is, everything but the music) is by Walsh, and Bowie contributed new songs as well as some of his classics: "Heroes," "Changes," "The Man Who Sold the World," "Life on Mars?" and more. It's a stage musical written by David Bowie and Irish playwright Enda Walsh. What is Lazarus? Even for Bowie fans, that takes a little explaining. If it's dark and weird, well, it's the product of a wonderfully weird artist who knew he was dying as he pieced it together with Walsh, van Hove, and music director Henry Hey.Īs I wrote in a 2016 review of the published script: ![]() Hall constantly chugs onstage as a prop for gin - or, perhaps, a drop of the stronger stuff.Īs the press release notes, Lazarus is truly "David Bowie's final musical creation." Even more than the album Blackstar and its remarkable music videos, Lazarus is a capstone to Bowie's career he made his final public appearance at a performance of the show. There are no plans for the video to be available on demand, so Bowie fans are well advised to take this opportunity, even if it means pouring a stiff drink of the water that star Michael C. An elegant film of the original New York Theatre Workshop production, directed by Ivo Van Hove, is streaming for three ticketed windows this weekend, "in remembrance of David Bowie on his birthday and to mark the fifth anniversary of his untimely death." There's almost none of the liberating joy Bowie brought to many of his performances, and the music is cast strongly in the mold of his final album Blackstar, with classics like "Changes" and "Heroes" pulled down into its dark, jazzy register.Ī real crowd-pleaser, eh? No, not so much.and yet, the musical is showing signs of persistence, with several productions mounted and upcoming around the world. The plot is elliptical, there's too much time spent on uninvolving characters, and the mood is dark and tragic with so little levity in Enda Walsh's script that a couple of weak jokes evoke gasps of almost desperate laughter. When it premiered in late 2015, it earned mixed reviews, which is very understandable. It's not perfect because it's a great musical. Serious fans, though, know that the perfect Bowie musical already exists: Lazarus, one of the artist's last projects. What would a David Bowie jukebox musical look like? Casual fans might imagine something like the new Cher musical, with flashy set pieces dedicated to the many ch-ch-ch-ch-changes in the late icon's career. “Bryce is not only a musical theater performer and an actor, but is also an expert in physical comedy and how to cope with actor stress and anxiety, something he spoke about during last year's Lowell Humanities series.

So I headed to the IKEA website and ordered 4 of these Billy Bookcases in white and had them shipped to my home. I had seen lots of posts on people who had used the Billy bookcases from IKEA to serve as the base of their built-in project and I always thought that was a good idea. The hubs said I could build my dream bookshelf as long as it didn’t cost more than what I sold the piece of furniture for, so I was on a mission to do this as easily and economically as I possibly could. In an effort to keep costs down and the work that my sweet Mister had to do to a minimum, I decided to try my hand at my first IKEA hack. So long story short, after months of thinking about it I finally pulled the trigger, sold the buffet and got to work on designing and planning my bookshelf. I always found myself being really drawn to images of clean-lined, large scale bookshelves on Pinterest and in magazines. I should have just stuck to what I know and love and been true to my design aesthetic rather than trying to be something I wasn’t. Here is the problem, while the piece was absolutely beautiful, it never was truly my style. I bought the piece when we were first moving to the South from Minnesota thinking that I wanted something ornate and antique to go along with my new southern digs. If you recall, there used to be a very large white antique buffet along the wall where the bookshelf now stands. Would you believe me if I said this entire piece cost me around $600 in materials to build? You will have to read on to find out!įirst a little history of this project. I am going to share all of my thought and design process with you guys as well as a breakdown of what everything cost at the end. I am not really a DIY blogger, so if you are looking for a step-by-step on how these were built this probably isn’t the post for you however, if you are looking for some inspiration for how to make a beautiful statement piece for less then you are totally in luck. ![]() I am so excited to be able to share with you more information on my built-in bookcase project that my sweet father-in-law, AKA Mister, built for me last month. |
