Sikhism does not repudiate vows of celibacy, renunciation or the sannyasin state, but it does discourage it and advocates marital life as the best way of living. For Sikhs, married status is the norm and the ideal through it, according to their belief, come the best opportunities for serving God's purpose and the well being of humanity, and it affords the best means of fulfillment of individuality and attainment of bliss. "Anand Karaj", literally, "joyful ceremonial occasion or proceedings" is the name given to the Sikh marriage ceremony. The bride-to-be's family in turn are presented with garments and sweets. In the "sagan" ceremony, the groom is presented with a karar, kirrpan, Indian sweets, fresh fruits, dried fruits and nuts. It involves ardas, kirtan, sagun (exchange of gifts) and langar. It is usually conducted in the gurdwara or at the home of the groom-to-be. The engagement ceremony can also be held as a separate event on a different day. Most families combine the wedding ceremony with the engagement ceremony called the "kurmai", which is held just before the wedding vows or laavan. The wedding event can last for the whole day and may spill into the next day. Following the ceremony is a langar or a formal lunch. Most Sikh weddings take place in the morning and are completed before noon. The Anand Karaj ceremony is a joyous and festive event in which families and friends from both sides are heavily involved.

Meanwhile, Iwan Rheon, who plays Ramsay Bolton, said he would be happy to expose himself on screen if it was for the 'right' moment. You know what? It was really a bit shocking. However, she defended the decision and said: 'Some people thought I was less of an actress because I didn't get my t*ts out. Lena faced backlash after it was revealed she had used a body double for her 'walk of shame' during season five. And if that ever happens, it won't be Cersei being seductive or sexy.'

Lena Headey, who played Cersei Lannister in the HBO hit, has also previously defended the use of nudity in the show. She told the Telegraph: 'I find it hypocritical that we can show people with their heads blown off, then there's one nipple and viewers get upset.' The actress, 45, who said that viewers are far more likely to see violence on screen, revealed: 'In Melisandre's case, I think I can justify it because she uses sexuality as a weapon… she's trying to manipulate.' While the two eventually reconnected, Theon found his courage and ability to find redemption for his past acts in the final season and Yara was finally able to rule the iron-born.Speaking out: Elsewhere, Emilia's co-star Carice van Houten - who portrays red priestess Melisandre - said that she wants to 'normalised' on-screen nudityĮlsewhere, Emilia's co-star Carice van Houten - who portrays red priestess Melisandre - said that she wants to 'normalised' on-screen nudity.

If he knows you are using a tone, he can either guess at what it is (a skill that CAN be learned) or use his radio's "Tone Scan" feature. Noticing that everyone is using a tone, he won't think your group is being stuck up if he calls and doesn't get a response. The reason I recommend higher tones for Simplex is so that a ham trying to join the conversation will be more likely to hear and notice that a tone is in use in case he wants to join in. For Simplex purposes, I would recommend a fairly high tone, say 203.5. Let's say that instead of running your squelch up really high and risking missing calls or not eliminating the noise, you and your friends agree to set your radios to encode a certain tone on that channel when you transmit. In some cases, the noise bursts may be so strong that the Carrier Squelch will not silence them. If the operator being thus annoyed turns their squelch up enough to eliminate the noise, they might reduce or also eliminate the ability to hear friends who are calling who are below the squelch threshold. You or your friends may experience intermittent bursts of noise which open your regular Carrier Squelch (CSQ) with enough frequency to be really annoying, whether you are getting those bursts of noise on a base, mobile, or HT. For instance, you may keep in contact with friends on 146.535 MHz Simplex. Most radios capable of CTCSS have at least 38 tones between 67.0 Hz and 250.3 Hz, with some having even more tones over a wider frequency range. Higher frequency tones are more easily heard. While the tones are called "sub-audible", most people can hear them as a hum in their radio's speaker when monitoring a radio or repeater that is encoding such a tone. It is my hope that this article will in some way contribute to increased and proper utilization of this convenient and useful tool.ĬTCSS is a system whereby a (not really) sub-audible tone is encoded into the transmit audio of a radio and a receiver on another radio on that frequency will only open up (decode) when it picks up that specific tone. Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System has been around for over fifty years, yet is under-utilized or improperly utilized by many FM'ers, to include repeater owners/trustees and end-users. One aspect of FM operation that seems to have quite a lack of understanding with regard to it is CTCSS (aka Private Line, PL, Channel Guard, CG, Quiet Call, QC, etc). (When he boasts about his wild and crazy antics at award shows nobody else remembers, he sounds like the dork at a high-school reunion who thinks that spring-break kegger was the peak of his life.) But that’s part of what West is trying to figure out on Pablo – a grown man, not to mention a pioneering artist, wondering why he has to keep playing the “38-year-old 8-year old.” Pablo doesn’t go for any grand musical and emotional statements on the level of “Bound 2” or “Runaway” or “Hey Mama.” West just drops broken pieces of his psyche all over the album and challenges you to fit them together. Paul felt that way, too.) When he wears his clown hat on Pablo, as in his misogynistic jokes in “Famous,” it’s embarrassing – he’s just aiming for cheap laughs, and not even getting those. West is a genius who worries the world only likes him for being a clown. That’s why the freestyle “I Love Kanye” stings, especially the punch line “I love you like Kanye loves Kanye” – Kanye knows he always fucks over the one he loves, even the one he loves most, himself. When he says, “You was the best of all time at the time though/Yeah, but you wasn’t mine though,” he’s talking to himself in the mirror. But it sounds like West is actually mourning the long-running love affair between Kanye and Kanye. “30 Hours” looks back on a failed long-distance relationship, over an Arthur Russell art-funk groove and with André 3000 joining in on harmony. 2”) and all the other things he worries he is. He wants the world to see him as an asshole because he gets terrified that the world might see him as a restless husband (“FML”), a guilt-ridden son (“Wolves”), a manipulative phony (“Real Friends”), a distant dad (“Father Stretch My Hands, Pt.

This sounds good on paper, but the primary camp is too spread out, and I didn’t care about any of the copy-and-paste citizens.

I’m fine going back to an all-winter climate, but Spark’s core concepts weren’t realized in an effective way. The publisher outsourced development to western studio Spark Unlimited (Legendary, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty), traded out its proprietary engine MT Framework for Unreal 3, and brought the story back to prequel status. Just like with Lost Planet 2, Capcom has tossed out everything and started over. From the kooky single-player tale of the first game to the absolutely bonkers co-op boss battles in part two, I’ve always enjoyed this adventurous (yet rough-around-the-edges) series – but the third entry lost me.

Montreal continue to control the game on the second half.Īfter a string of Montreal corners, Westberg had to reach high to claw away a deflected shot from Djordje Mihailovic. There was more of the same three minutes later as Quioto outraced Bradley to a long ball only to see his shot hit Westberg in the face.

But Westberg got a leg in front of Quioto’s shot to end the threat. Toronto was under pressure from the get-go with a Montreal through ball after a TFC turnover finding Quioto behind the Canadian defence in the first 20 seconds. Toronto spent most of the first half on the back foot with Montreal having 63 per cent of possession and outshooting TFC 9-1 (5-0 in shots on target). It was five degrees Celsius at kickoff, but felt more like three degrees. Waterman shoved Shaffelburg when both get up, prompting the five-foot-three Soteldo - warming up nearby with the Toronto substitutes - to get in the six-foot-two Waterman’s face. Montreal defender Joel Waterman took objection to a shoulder charge to Jacob Shaffleburg as both players chased a ball near the Montreal by-line.

Venezuelan winger Yeferson Soteldo, Toronto’s third designated player, started on the bench. Star striker Jozy Altidore didn’t make the trip to Montreal due to flu-like symptoms not COVID-related, the latest hurdle in a more-off-than-on season that saw the burly striker score four goals in just 16 league appearances (including eight starts).Īltidore missed eight weeks due to a falling out with Armas and his return to action was interrupted by injury. Pozuelo started all 23 league matches last season, and finished with nine goals and 10 assists. The league’s reigning MVP missed TFC’s first 10 games in all competitions due to injury and managed just one goal and four assists in 19 league outings (14 starts).

When she stopped by Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen on Thursday, Lawrence told Cohen that Schumer had had some harsh words for her after she and Aronofsky went their separate ways. “I’ve been down that road, I know what that’s like,” she recently told Marc Maron. The actress has even said that she couldn’t watch Paul Thomas Anderson’s Oscar nominee Phantom Thread all the way through because it reminded her too much of dating a tortured artist. Lawrence and Aronofsky began dating shortly after finishing Mother! in 2016. When it happened, Lawrence’s friend Amy Schumer was there for her-in a way. Jennifer Lawrence dated Mother! director Darren Aronofsky for a year before their split became public knowledge in November.

The images Nicobass posted are of Lara on her quad bike and standing in front of Croft Manor. This is my contribution for the TR3 month, even if it’s from my TR2 remake, many elements of the Croft Manor like the quad bike race are directly inspired by TR3 #TR25 #TombRaider /SDMMOG8ynd- Nicobass April 8, 2021 Nicobass-the creator of the remake- recently posted some new images on their Twitter and the nostalgia they evoke is real. More than five years in the making, this remake is a gargantuan project that looks set to completely remake the 1997 PlayStation One classic Tomb Raider 2– one of the best received titles in the series-and the progress has been incredible so far. It's also a good thing that Crystal Dynamics decided to build the game from the ground up and not settle for a rehash with better visuals.When it comes to video game fan projects, the remake of Tomb Raider 2 by Nicobass is one that has been around for a significant amount of time. The PSP version of the game will mirror the console release in terms of content, though it will add several multiplayer modes. It looks to offer everything a Tomb Raider fan could possibly want in terms of presentation and gameplay. In short, Anniversary looks very promising. It didn't even offer a glimpse of the thing - the screen just shook and there was a roar - but it's probably a remarkable sight, like the rest of the game. Unfortunately, the demo ended right when the T-Rex stomped on the scene. The demo showed a few combat sequences that took place in a lost jungle, complete with packs of nicely-modeled raptors. Speaking of combat, Anniversary has all the bats, raptors and bears that players fought in the first game. And while the demo didn't show it, there's a good chance the slow-mo aspect from Legend will appear as well. Lara can now flip and twirl around her enemies far more gracefully than in the first game. Lara also retains the grapple she used in Legend, so players can expect to swing through certain locales as well. It's a risky maneuver that helps add a level of uncertainty, according to developers. Later in the demo, Lara showed off one of her new moves: perilously hopping between a series of narrow poles. Solving it is a matter of logic, just the way a puzzle should be. Instead of simply placing a few cogs in to get it to work, Lara now has to use her new abilities to scale the massive gears and explore the nearby environment for parts. The brief demo shown to IGN saw Lara exploring ruins near Peru in search of an artifact known as the "Scion." One of the first things Lara encounters is a reworked version of the classic gears puzzle from the first game. Players can set their own pace as they find their way through jungles, caves and forgotten structures. It didn't tease players with lush environments by not letting them explore it the way they wanted and neither will Anniversary. And really, this is precisely what made Legend so fun. There's no need to stand in the perfect spot to make a jump since Lara can latch on to several surfaces and hold on for dear life. Lara can now shimmy along ledges at different speeds and jump toward tree branches and poles with abandon. This includes the context-sensitive sequences and flexible controls. Everything that made Legend such an enjoyable game will make a comeback. Here's the shortest way to describe it: Anniversary will play like Legend. Crystal Dynamics will follow the same formula Lara's next outing. It embraced the formula set by the first game and simply refined it. Look at the commercial and critical success of Tomb Raider Legend, for example. And really, there's no better way to do it. The developer wanted to make sure Anniversary distils the essence of Lara's first outing by focusing on puzzles and solitary exploration. Players will assume the role of a young Lara Croft as she navigates a series of long-forgotten crypts to find ancient treasures. Lara Croft Tomb Raider Anniversary will follow the same basic path as the original. So when Crystal Dynamics comes along and wants to put out a remake of the original Tomb Raider adventure, there's plenty reason to get excited. Add to this a truly remarkable rise to stardom - think Mario or Sonic - and Lara Craft is easily one of the biggest names in the business. Games had seen their share of vixens, sure, but never had one grabbed the imaginations of gamers as a legitimate hero. It mixed exploration and action with a level of sexiness unheard of at the time. The first Tomb Raider sparked a revolution in the games industry. In January 2013, the Court approved financing for Kodak to emerge from bankruptcy by mid 2013. In August 2012, Kodak announced its intention to sell its photographic film, commercial scanners and kiosk operations, as a measure to emerge from bankruptcy, but not its motion picture film operations. Digital cameras are still sold under the Kodak brand by JK Imaging Ltd under an agreement with Kodak. Shortly thereafter Kodak announced that it would stop making digital cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames and focus on the corporate digital imaging market. In January 2012, Kodak filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. As a part of a turnaround strategy, Kodak began to focus on digital photography and digital printing, and attempted to generate revenues through aggressive patent litigation. Kodak began to struggle financially in the late 1990s, as a result of the decline in sales of photographic film and its slowness in moving to digital photography, despite developing the first self-contained digital camera. The company's ubiquity was such that its " Kodak moment" tagline entered the common lexicon to describe a personal event that deserved to be recorded for posterity. During most of the 20th century, Kodak held a dominant position in photographic film. Kodak was founded by George Eastman and Henry A. It is best known for photographic film products. Its main business segments are Print Systems, Enterprise Inkjet Systems, Micro 3D Printing and Packaging, Software and Solutions, and Consumer and Film. Kodak provides packaging, functional printing, graphic communications, and professional services for businesses around the world. The company is headquartered in Rochester, New York, and is incorporated in New Jersey.
