“There’s nothing about LGBTQ involved in this,” she said. At a recent school board meeting, she said her only objective has been to protect children from sexually explicit content - gay or otherwise. In public, Monica has denied targeting LGBTQ books. In a series of email exchanges with NBC News, she initially invited a reporter to discuss the article over dinner at her home in Granbury, but in a subsequent message, she said her husband would not allow the meeting, adding, “I have been advised to not speak with you at all.” Her husband also declined to be interviewed. Monica, 51, who has homeschooled all nine of her children and serves as the director of a private Christian education cooperative, declined to be interviewed or answer written questions. “But seeing now that she’s applying those same views to public activism, at a time when so many basic rights are being challenged, I couldn’t stay quiet about that.” “It was one thing when my parents’ beliefs were causing this rift between us and it was just a family matter,” Weston said. Fueled by a growing movement to assert conservative Christian values at all levels of government, activists across the country have fought to remove queer-affirming books from schools, repeal the right to same-sex marriage, shut down LGBTQ pride celebrations and pass state laws limiting the ways teachers can discuss gender and sexuality. In recent months, Weston has watched as the same foundational disagreements that tore his family apart have begun to divide whole communities.

He still loved them and desperately missed his younger siblings, he said, but he was done trying to convince his mom and dad that his sexuality wasn’t a choice or a sin. Weston, who lives with his partner in San Diego, had long ago come to terms with the idea that he would never again have a meaningful relationship with his parents. Weston Brown shared texts that he'd exchanged with his parents with NBC News, including this one with his mother from November 2018.

![]() One of the crucial things is that the annual turnover is taken for a year, which may be a calendar year or a financial year. There are various points to be considered while calculating the company’s annual turnover. ![]() The different vital points are as follows: Usually, the company, stakeholders, and the general public consider the company’s net profit for analyzing the company’s well and the company’s position in the market instead of considering the annual turnover figure to conclude please health.Thus an annual turnover might be a biased figure however, considering quarterly or monthly amounts of turnover, a better and a logical conclusion can be drawn. Other times, a certain business earns tremendous profits only at a specified period.In a seasonal nature firm, annual turnover might not solve the purpose of showing the correct picture of the situation. Further, there increases rigidity while taking an annual figure.However, the total purchase price added to total expenses might increase turnover. Such demerits firstly include, it may so happen that the company sells enormous products every, crossing the mark of various competitors.Though in the literal sense, the term annual turnover might not be a criticizing topic however, there are some particular demerits of taking the turnover figures for decision-making purposes. Thus it shows the correct picture of how much the company has set a market base. Thus the net profit might be very high, but this doesn’t reflect accurately. Sometimes the company earns abnormal indirect income like speculative profit, while the company’s main business may be some other product.However, it can be seen that the net profit figure does not show the true picture of the entity and may sometimes be misleading. The net profit figure of any company is the amount obtained after deducting various expenses, both direct and indirect, and adding indirect and non-operating incomes to the annual turnover figure.This figure of a particular company of a particular year can be compared with the same product of another company for the same here, and steps should be taken to match the annual turnover with the competitive firm or to exceed the same. An annual turnover figure can also be used to maintain competitiveness among the entities.Or it can be compared with the annual turnover of another product for the same financial year calendar as the case may be. Since it is a periodic figure, the annual turnover figure can be compared by a company with the preceding financial year or calendar year, as the case may be. The annual turnover figure helps in comparison.It is a uniform figure, and uniformity can be maintained for various purposes in the business. It is a periodic amount showing the turnover over the financial year or the calendar as the case may be doing. ![]() The annual turnover indicates the market strength of a company and the image of such a company among the customers. It considers total earnings based on the quoted selling price and the number of products sold.
![]() Waves is moving 64bit this month with V9 - Get ready. LP10 will not have a 32 bridge - 64bit only. I believe that Logic Pro 10 is the release that will put Apple in the driver's seat. Logic IS NOT dumbed down - Matter of fact - 10 will blow your mind - and certainly have the Avid boys hiding behind their outdated HD rigs. Gerhard's in CA and he gave Steve his garageband. The Emagic/Logic team at Apple Gmbh have their hands on it - Cupertino does little more than sign off on it. ![]() Re the comment regarding - "who's hands are in the making of the new Logic." Apple sat back - waited - and then dropped the price to $199.00 / Basically making it a no brainer buy - the user base has grown drastically in the last three months. ![]() There were major out lashes at AVID in Oct and Nov of 2011. simply a business move - they've gained thousands of users - who in tears and with maxed out credit cards - couldn't pay Avid's upgrade path. The release of Logic 9 on the app store and the subsequent removal of Soundtrack Pro and Waveburner - along with the split of MainStage signifies that Apple is streamlining, pushing forward and getting ready (very quickly, I'll add) for Logic Pro 10.Īpple dropping the price to$199. When Apple moved Logic to the AppStore - again they made it clear that Mainstage was being broken out -Ĭertainly Logic9 and MS users had a much easier road paying $30 for the new MS updated version - Avid royally screwed many/most of their "pro" users with upgrade prices ranging from $200-$5000 / to get out of outdated HD hardware and into PT10 and subsequent PT11/64bit. It was also well stated by many that Apple was doing away the boxed products - Logic was the real holdout. And that Mainstage was being split out as well - All this was out there on the streets in September. It was rather clear that Soundtrack Pro was headed to the morgue, Waveburner's going bye bye and will be incorporated into Logic 10. I also paid full price for PT10, and DP7. I paid $500.00 for Logic 9 / As a music professional - I'm not upset at Apple. Formerly a component of the Logic Studio suite, Apple moved MainStage (and Logic Pro) to the Mac App Store last December. MainStage is a 302 MB download from the Mac App Store and is priced at $29.99, although the 2.2.1 update is of course free for current MainStage 2.2 users.

Snider recalled the look in Al Gore's eyes as the senator questioned him, but took pleasure in answering Gore honestly when asked what the name of Twisted Sister's fan club, the S.M.F. He believed return policies and responsible parenting were sufficient solutions. Snider gave the Committee alternatives to labeling albums as offensive, insisting that there were more effective ways to safeguard against inappropriate music than the PMRC's proposed rating system. He took on the misinterpretation of his own lyrics, pointing out that "Under the Blade" wasn't sadomasochistic but was about surgery. Snider wasn't the music industry's first choice to testify before the US Senate's Committee on Commerce over labeling records Vince Neil was, though it was decided he wasn't "very articulate." Snider instead appeared alongside entertainers like Frank Zappa and John Denver. Snider addressed what Gore called the "Filthy 15," songs the PMRC considered too intense and offensive for general consumption. ![]() Clad in jeans and a T-shirt, Snider called out Gore specifically for her interpretation of some of his songs. He also played glam-rock lover Lance Rockett in the series Holliston from 2012-2013.Īs a target of Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), Dee Snider appeared before Congress to testify against music censorship in September 1985. He played himself in 1997's Private Parts and 2010's Get Him To The Greek, although he was uncredited in the latter. Snider has appeared in traditional rocker roles too. In addition to writing the movie, Snider produced Strangeland and starred as Captain Howdy himself. Snider and Twisted Sister also appeared on the heavy-metal soundtrack alongside bands like Megadeth, Pantera, and Anthrax. Howdy goes crazy again and takes revenge to the next level. But upon his release, the townspeople the now peaceful Captain Howdy. Eventually they catch up with him and send him to a mental hospital. A detective starts pursuing him after he captures his daughter. Snider's website describes Strangeland:Ī schizophrenic sadist by the name of Captain Howdy lures teens through the internet into his painful traps. Snider was not only the lead singer of Twisted Sister but served as the band's songwriter as well.ĭee Snider took the reins on all aspects of the 1998 feature-length film Strangeland. French asked him to join the band and within days, he took on the moniker "Dee." Heavily influenced by bands like Queen and Black Sabbath, Snider sang Led Zeppelin songs for the members of Twisted Sister on February 2, 1976. Twisted Sister, formed in 1973, had experienced several personnel changes, but Snider got a call in January 1976 from founding member Jay Jay French (John Segall) asking him to audition. He heard about another local band, Twisted Sister, who needed a lead singer. After leaving Peacock, he unsuccessfully tried to form a new band called Heathen. Snider performed with several bands, including Harlequin and Peacock, as he transitioned into a professional musician. He participated in chorus and theater in high school, and after his graduation in 1973, looked to keep making music. In what he called a " suburban wasteland," Snider struggled to express himself. One of six children, Dee rejected the strict discipline of his father, Bob, through music, a messy bedroom, and long hair. Born David Daniel Snider in 1955, "Dee" grew up in Long Island, New York. ![]() This OpenDev demo is currently live and will run until Monday, May 3rd. But the fact that I could see, even in the early game, how the calls I made might have ramifications for centuries to come, was a promising sign." ![]() "I'm hesitant to say how strong a contender until I've seen more of the game, since I think Humankind's brand of satisfaction is going to lean heavily on the way the outcomes of your decisions stack across thousands of simulated years. "I can say for sure we've definitely got a contender here," he said in his Humankind preview. Nate tried out an earlier version of the game last summer and was feeling cautiously optimistic about how it will stack up against the Civilization series. Amplitude explain the particulars of that process over in their announcement post for the demo. If not, you can watch three hours of Humankind livestreams on Twitch to unlock free access to the demo. You can give it a go yourself on Steam and the Epic Games Store right now if you happen to have pre-ordered it. They've also added new unit classes, including anti-cavalry. They've rebalanced the game's pacing, economy, and cultures. To me it just felt like I more chose the civilization cause of its perks when I needed certain boosts like food/work/gold/science.Since their last demo, Amplitude say they're improved the interfaces for diplomacy and district placement. I am torn of the idea with the whole changing cultures through the eras, its cool, but you don't feel that connected to the civs you choose. I don't feel like I have a clear goal or strategy, just achievement hunting towards another star. It all feels mushed together and does not change that much through the eras. However everything else seems a bit bleak and not impactful enough like the faith, diplomatics, civics, some stuff didn't matter at all. The war and unit management is a joy to play and the beginning of the game is different and enjoyable, also the pop up scenarios was great (but became less interesting as the game went on however) and the star system too gave this game a unique feel to it. The game itself works smoothly and I like a lot of the mechanics. With bugs like my save files of 14 hours just gone like that I cannot recommend this game at this time if they don't at least fix basic problems like that. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We've seen it all in other strategies, also in Endless Legend and Civilization, but both cases are way too much better than this game in its current state. Game also have somewhat interesting ideas. Why bother while you can win a fight with infantry against fleet? Pros: + Nice picture. You simply can't win against small islands as you can't attack from fleet or with marines. Other minor and game breaking bugs and glitches here and there + friezes. game forces you to accept agreements that don't have sense, while you're absolutely destroying your enemy and can just wipe them out easily. Game breaking diplomacy and war bugs and glitches (read features). ![]() Practically no devs ever really fix AI in their games. And still does it have pros at the start? Yes, but only if you play with friends or not planning to wage war on AI, but why wouldn't you? Cons: - AI is not only an absolute zero either in strategy or in tactics. Maybe after lots of patches if they make it work like they did it with Endless Legend, than it will be a solid game. Absolutely don't recommend at the moment. Maybe after lots of patches if they make Right now it is truly sad and bad. This useful device allows you to build up a virtually limitless power supply. The optional table-top, external battery charger is light and easy to travel with. Charging with the External Battery Charger ![]() Always plug the concentrator into the DC port that is closest to the vehicle battery for best results. When traveling, plug the sturdy metal connector into the side of the concentrator and the other end into the cigarette lighter or DC power port. This also depends on how much voltage the vehicle battery puts out. On some settings the DC Power Supply runs the unit while also powering the battery. This power supply can be plugged into any car, RV, or boat DC port. Make car travel or a busy day on the go, free with the DC power supply. The connector wire plugs into a fuse protected power transformer to reduce the likelihood of damage to your concentrator in the event of a dangerous power surge. The Power Supply has a sturdy metal connector that plugs straight into the side of the concentrator. It plugs into any standard outlet or can be used overseas with a universal power adapter. The Oxlife Independence AC Power Supply allows you to use the concentrator while simultaneously charging the battery. Battery power is also enhanced by the optional table top charger that is available allowing up to three batteries to charge at one time if the concentrator is plugged into an AC outlet.Ĭross country RV travel, international flights, or a long day at the beach with family and friends are all possible without the worry of running out of oxygen. Using both the AC and DC Power Supplies, the battery power for the Oxlife Independence is virtually unlimited. To find out how much power is left on the battery, simply press the button under the charge indicator lights. The unit can run with only one battery inserted if necessary for charging or switching out batteries. Change batteries without powering off the unit with the dual battery configuration. To reinsert, place batteries in with the strap at the top, and click into place. Simply lift up slightly, pull the ejection loops and slide the battery straight back to remove. Let’s being.The batteries are located in the back of the concentrator, out of the way from controls and cords, for easy access. Here are the best-LED Notifications apps for Android and even if your phone doesn’t have a LED light, we still have a couple of workarounds for that. ![]() Too bad, Android smartphones don’t come with a built-in app to work with LED light. ![]() Just glance at the light and you know whether you should go for it or not. You don’t even have to touch your phone or wake it up. That way, you will know whether you have received a missed call, a text message, WhatsApp, or something else. You can assign different colors to different apps. What’s more? Using the right LED light notification apps, you can customize it to your liking. Useful for when you are in a meeting or someplace where it is required to keep the phone on silent mode. The LED light is a subtle way to know you have received a notification, without making a single sound. In fact, some major smartphone manufacturers like Samsung (in their Galaxy S10 series) and OnePlus 6t, also lacks this feature. iPhones don’t support it for some reason, but they can be very useful. One of the things that I like about Android smartphones is the LED notification light. Snagit makes sharing simple since you can instantly send your images to destinations like email, Microsoft Word, and more with just one click. Most of the time it gets buried in a folder on your computer with no great way to quickly add it to a document or email. It also can be a pain to try and share that screenshot once you have it. This can make for a pretty sloppy result in the end. The Snipping Tool only comes stock with a pen tool, highlighter, and eraser. Sure, it’s a better option than not using screenshots at all, but the time it takes to create a decent looking image isn’t worth the trouble.Īfter you take a screenshot you have to use another tool to do any serious modifications or explanations with it. While the Snipping Tool seems like a quick option, it actually ends up wasting a lot of time. But what really sets it apart is the markup and annotation functionality (more on that later). You can grab pretty much any type of screenshot with Snagit – you can grab a region, window, and full-screen on Windows and Mac. The best part about Snagit is that it allows you to create both images and videos, while the Snipping Tool only allows for images. While we don’t offer a completely free option for Snagit, it does come with a free, full-featured trial to get you started. It’s the perfect solution for anyone who wants to quickly capture a process and create visual how-to guides, tutorials, and documentation. Snagit is much more than just a screenshot tool. ![]() Most people waste valuable time and energy trying to explain things (even simple things) at work. ![]() Here at TechSmith, we often hear from people who try out the built-in tool to cut costs, but they soon come to Snagit when they realize how much time and quality they were losing without using it. Since the Snipping Tool comes preloaded on Windows, it’s understandable to think it could replace Snagit or be “good enough” to get the job done. This button is along the top of the screen. The squares shown here are from a Live Loops pack called Skyline Heat, which I have used for a few songs.įX is another cool option. Here’s a screenshot showing the instrument squares. ![]() ![]() Tap the arrow at the bottom of each column to switch on all the squares at once. GarageBand will begin each one on the correct beat so it’s almost impossible to make any errors here. Just tap each square to stop or start the playback, adding others as you desire. These loops have been selected to work together in terms of timing and melody. You’ll be taken to a grid with colored squares. Select the genre of music you want to use from numerous options such as Hip Hop, EDM, Rock, etc. There are numerous pages of Live Loops to choose from, but I am only showing one page here. Live Loops allows you to sequence existing recordings in real time. At the top of the screen you’ll see two options: Live Loops and Tracks. Open GarageBand and select the kind of instrument you want to use. Using GarageBand, you can easily compose songs adorned with drums, bass, keyboards, and guitars without knowing how to read or write music. Not only is GarageBand easy to learn, but you can basically create something with a $400 iPad that would have taken $5000 and a production studio rental years ago. That’s the extent of my musical training, other than the fact that I love music. I took guitar lessons for a couple of years when I was a kid, and I took two GarageBand classes at my local Apple store last year. Now, let me assure you that I am not a classically trained musician. I have even created a few stand alone songs just for fun. I had no idea how to compose so I was hesitant at first, but once I realized how easy it is, there has been no going back. My solution was just to make my own music. I had read some of the horror stories involving lawsuits and de-monetization of websites and channels when folks got caught using other people’s music. I started using GarageBand because I needed music to accompany my art videos, and I had trouble finding free, pre-recorded music that could be used without worrying about copyright infringement. Sometimes I start composing songs on my iPhone, then air-drop them to my iPad to finish up because I prefer the larger screen. GarageBand is an Apple product so you can use it on a Mac, iPad, or even an iPhone if you don’t mind the smaller screen. Obviously you can use any other app for the recording, I'm guessing if GB has good ducking support then so will Logic.I have been creating songs using GarageBand on my iPad for a while now, and I absolutely love it. Hey presto, live set recorded as a multi-track with live ducking, that can be tweaked afterwards!.Arm and record all channels simultaneously.Set voiceover to control ducking, set all other decks to be ducked.Add one more track for the voiceover, set it to channels 17 & 18 (built-in audio input). ![]()
