8/17/2023 0 Comments Traditional water puppet showPerformances are accompanied by a Vietnamese orchestra playing traditional music using wooden bells, drums, bamboo flutes, horns, and cymbals. No more than eight puppeteers stand behind a split-bamboo screen decorated to resemble a temple facade, and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanism hidden beneath the water surface. This water pavilion is called “Thủy đình” (“thủy” means nước, “đình” is a communal house) is where performance carries out. This special stage requires a chest-deep pool of water. Performance today occurs on one of three venues: 1 – on traditional ponds in villages where a staging area can be set up, 2 – on portable tanks built for traveling performers, or 3 – in a specialized building where a pool stage can be constructed. He sometimes acts as a narrator, sometimes as a commentator on social realities, politics, especially officials’ corruption. He is very talkative and optimistic like any typical northern farmer. His appearance is of a cheerful boy who often wears simple loincloth, sometimes accompanied by a simple open vest. “Tễu” means “laugh” in ancient Vietnamese. Most of the puppets look cheerful and awash in vivid colors to emphasize their own characters.įor example, “Chú Tễu” is a recurrent and the most notable character in water puppetry. The puppets are carved out of fig wood and then lacquered. Please don’t expect realistic movements or intricate costumes found at puppet shows in other parts of Asia. Shows at this modern theater are performed in a pool of water as the stage for the puppets. Until now, the water puppet shows haven’t changed significantly from the old days. That’s an intriguing adventure from the rice field to the citadel stages. The water puppet shows gradually progressed as an entertaining activity for the royals. The easy formation enhanced the widespread development of the art form. Originally, simple stages were constructed around flooded rice paddies, which were available in most of ancient villages & towns. The wet rice civilization of Northern Vietnam was believed to be the cradle of nurturing this traditional art form.īeing born as a communal entertainment performance during harvest time for farmers, the very first Vietnamese puppet shows weren’t just for the entertainment of villagers, but were thought to keep the spirits amused enough to stay away from mischief. Water puppetry is a form of folk arts originating in the Red River Delta in the North of Vietnam, dating back in the 11th century.

8/17/2023 0 Comments Examples of pidgin languageIn analyzing historical change and in describing present structure in language, linguists often find it possible to take social factors for granted. It is very important to pronounce auntie as (ANT-ee) to show respect for your ohana (family).Languages called “pidgins” and “creoles” have been something of a stepchild in scientific research, but their origins and social functions pose in particularly clear form problems of the sort with which the Council’s Committee on Sociolinguistics is concerned. On the islands, anyone can be refer to you as “Uncle” or “Auntie,’ as long as they are younger in age. But, in Hawaii, it’s a pidgin phrase to show respect. On the mainland, we use this term to refer to our parent’s brother or sister. Like da kine, shaka can mean many different things, throwin’ shakas can mean “hello,” “what’s up?” or “cool.” The gesture is most commonly seen when someone is posing for a photo. Take your closed hand and extend your pinky and thumb out-that’s it! Now wave it back and forth with your palm facing your body. Shaka is not so much a spoken term, as it is a gesture. Almost every dish in Hawaii is served with white rice, and shoyu is a staple condiment. Shoyu is a staple in Hawaii and can be found on every table (much like salt is on the mainland). Shoyu is the Hawaiian slang term for soy sauce. The first time you hear the word shoyu you’re probably ordering food at a restaurant. So when a native says “I have to go 5-4-4,” it’s the same as shishi. There is also a Japanese joke about urination based on the phrase “5-4-4” which reads go shishi in Japanese. Many words in Hawaiian pidgin are derived from the Japanese language. You also may hear a lot of the local Hawaiian keiki (children) saying this to their Auntie, or Tutu (grandmother). You can use this to politely tell whoever you need to, that you have to go pee. I mean really, how many times can you use the mainland equivalent of “whatchamacalit” before you sound ridiculous? This Hawaiian slang term can literally mean anything…seriously! Da Kine is the ultimate pidgin phrase! “Eh, you get any da kine?” or “Shelly went to get da kine, from da kine, ova da kine” It can be a bit tricky to understand, but incredibly useful. Although it seems obvious, there’s a big difference between saying “hello” and saying “what’s up?” The locals are always excited to meet new people and “talk story” (chat, shoot the breeze). “Howzit?” is a Hawaiian slang phrase for “Hey, how’s it going?” You’ll hear this one quite often, as you traverse the islands. As I said before, be selective if you choose to try this one on your vacay, because speaking it to the wrong braddah can get you snatched up by 5-0!! The word “paka” translates to tobacco, and “lolo” means crazy hence Pakalolo is the term the local kine use in reference to excellent marijuana (mainlanders might refer to it as ‘MauiWowie’). This is pidgin to the max! Saying this one to the wrong person can definitely land you in jail. That’s YOU, brah! An outsider, stranger, tourist, non-islander, they know you! Pronounced may-ly-hee-nee (better get that straight, tourist!) this is about someone that wears water socks and shoes, instead of “rubbah slippahs.” This term should not be confused with make (mah-kay) which means “dead,” i.e. Pau (pronounced pow) generally translates to “no more,” “all gone,” or “time’s up.” The term pau hana means “after work,” and references the best Happy Hours on the islands. This is pretty much what you say if your vehicle shits the bed. The most common phrase you will hear relating to this word, is “Mahalo for your k ō kua,” which basically means “thanks for your help!” This pidgin phrase is important, because as a visitor, if a native asks for your brief assistance, you should be able to understand and offer it out of respect. K ō kua luau is an extension of the saying, and directly translates to a stronger form of assistance, meaning “to contribute.” The term references the festive traditional gatherings of dance, music, and food called “ luaus“. The Hawaiian slang phrase k ō kua simply means to help or assist. You may see this on local signs here and there. 8/17/2023 0 Comments Flic tamuWhat if I am pulling for more than 10 tickets?

8/17/2023 0 Comments Covid vaccine passport usaStill, some uncertainty over the issue remains due to the process used by the U.S. Likewise, universities and other public institutions can require mandatory vaccinations, subject to the same stipulations of the Civil Rights Act and the ADA, Reiss says. And again, the employer can still require vaccinations if it imposes ‘undue hardship’ on the company.” “An op-out can hinge on the availability and effectiveness of PPE such as masks and face shields. “Employers have to participate in a ‘good faith’ process to determine if the disability is a qualification for an exemption and if the employee can be protected from COVID while working,” she says. Similarly, disabled employees can be exempted from compulsory vaccination if their disabilities raise safety concerns, says Reiss. “But the employer could still require vaccinations for such employees if it imposes an ‘undue hardship’ on the company’s operations.” “Under the Civil Rights Act, employers must provide a ‘reasonable accommodation’ to an employee who expresses a sincere religious belief that would prevent them from getting vaccinated,” Reiss says. King in 1922, the Court determined that the San Antonio, Texas, school district had a constitutional right to bar unvaccinated students from its campuses.Ĭurrently, employers and public institutions can require vaccinations subject to certain limits detailed in the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, says Reiss. Massachusetts, the Court declared states were authorized to require and enforce mandatory vaccinations. Supreme Court rulings have upheld compulsory vaccination laws. There’s no single ‘passport.’ There are a range of tactical issues that bear on vaccination certification.” “The controversy is strictly a political one. But there’s no significant ambiguity on that point, says Berkeley Law Professor Dorit Rubinstein Reiss, an authority on vaccine law and policy. Indeed, many civil libertarians have questioned the essential legality of vaccine passports. And the governors of Texas and Florida have announced bans on vaccine passports, barring businesses and government agencies from requiring them. The Biden administration has declared it will not enforce a verification mandate nor maintain a federal vaccination database. Some business coalitions also backed away from them, fearing consumer backlash. They would allow vaccinated people to gather en masse at concerts and sporting events, in gyms, and on cruises and flights, secure in their mutual immunity.īut the concept hit roadblocks almost immediately, with vaccine opponents and many conservatives declaring certification an invasion of privacy. Thus, the interest in so-called COVID “passports”: app-accessed digital certifications that confirm inoculations against the coronavirus. There is increasing concern that the highly contagious variants now circulating could fuel a nationwide surge this summer. Photo: iStockĮven as California inches toward economic and social reopening, the virus is running rampant in other states-most notably, Michigan-and outside the U.S., in countries that have received little or no vaccine. But just because they’re legal, doesn’t mean they’re without controversy. Supreme Court rulings have historically upheld compulsory vaccination laws.

But, I understand if you are serving a large client/patient base that you may have to communicate in a way that is less personal. “Those messages were frequent and made me feel a little bit like a number rather than her patient. “However, I found that some of the communication seemed automated, as though the therapist had copied and pasted messages that she presumably sent to all of her climates, such as her upcoming availability. From there, the therapist I was matched with got in touch with me fairly quickly, and we got off to a smooth start discussing my stressors.

8/17/2023 0 Comments Exterior patio tilesWe can’t get enough of this beautiful outdoor kitchen design with our Black And White Marble Penny Tile. Penny round tile is a wonderful affordable option for outdoor spaces. Likewise, a project with fewer complexities and one that you can tackle with minimal assistance will cost you less. Expenses for material, labor and ongoing maintenance are also primarily dependent on the desired design finish and the size of the area.Ī stand-out design for a luxe patio has a higher tendency to incorporate out of the ordinary features - and high-end material costs can really run the gamut, but it’s worth remembering that it is value that you’re truly seeking. However cost can vary depending on where you want your new surface and if any professional assistance is required for installation purposes. When it comes to installing a patio, tiles are the most economical choice with long life spans. In addition, these tile qualities reduce the need to worry about the safety of your kids and pets, inclement weather and temperature conditions, as well as the use of hard and heavy patio furnishings. To touch more on what has been said about durability, tiles made of porcelain stands out as a smart choice for patio spaces thanks to its water, flame, stain, scratch, scuff, and dent resistance properties. Things to consider when selecting outdoor tilesĪside from design and durability, there are a few other factors that will have a crucial influence on selecting the suitable patio tile type and material that is best for your upcoming outdoor design project. Before you start shopping, it is worth considering the following: This Textured Wooden Beige Leaf Marble Mosaic Tile in a playful leaf pattern lends a timeless and sophisticated touch to this contemporary outdoor living space. The greater likelihood of heavier foot traffic as well as direct sunlight rays and harsh weather conditions such as rain and frost means outside surfaces have to be non-porous, tougher, thicker, and less vulnerable to the elements. In regard to the level of durability, tile material intended for exterior use has to withstand a lot more than interior products. A surface that is a little gritty provides you, your kids, and your patio furniture excellent traction and reduces the risk of accidents. Unlike Indoor tiles, which are typically glazed and sleek for easier cleaning, outdoor products have a texture on their surface for extra slip-resistance. Tiles used externally are rarely glazed and often possess the appearance of stone, pavement, concrete, decking, or other outdoor elements. In some cases indoor tile and outdoor tile may look similar but they actually differ from each other in two main ways: design and durability.īefore you get your renovation plans going here’s what you need to understand in order to narrow down your patio tile selection and pick the right product for the job: What sets indoor tile and outdoor tile apart? The dynamic pattern is a beautiful way to liven up your outdoor space while providing optimum safety for your home. Our Tribeca Blanco Whitewashed Wood look porcelain tile is the perfect example of a durable indoor-outdoor tile that is both moisture resistant and slip proof. And the best part is that if they are ever damaged or stained, you can always replace the affected tiles instead of having to replace the entire installation. Tiles on the other hand are water resistant, so you won’t have to worry about them being affected by moisture. Quite often, the latter are installed over a small gravel base without proper preparation, which means that when water penetrates through cracks or joints it will erode away the substrate in no time. Outdoor tiles are much more durable than pavers. From a purely practical point of view, they are an excellent surface finish that’s astonishingly durable, easy to maintain, as well as remarkably strong to last longer in outdoor environments than most pavers. We can think of tons of reasons why tiles are an ideal option for patio floors by comparing them to some alternatives. Why choose outdoor tiles for patio floors? These waterjets are the perfect choice for continuing indoor flooring to your exterior paradise. Our Diamond Chain Marble mosaic tile makes for a stunning, elevated patio space. 8/17/2023 0 Comments Github pull request meaningIf tasks are split into smaller batches, problems will be spotted earlier on. As a result, we become resistant to accepting suggestions or comments that feel like they detract from the initial effort. When we invest a lot of time into a large piece of work, we naturally become personally attached to it. Similarly, it’s hard to imagine all the corner cases and cover them with automated tests. This makes it a huge challenge to be properly tested, even for the person who just wrote it. There are additional negative effects:Ī large piece of code has many side effects and moving parts. However, problems are not just related to code reviews. Reviewers might think they grasp the change, but do not truly understand its intention. Consequently, it’s more difficult to spot problems, suggest improvements, and understand which parts of the code were affected. We can’t just read through thousands of lines of code and immediately understand what’s going on. Reviewing work that is not ours can be difficult, especially in programming where different people have different styles and frames of work. But to do it properly on a large Pull Request distracts time from other tasks, so they would rather postpone it. Reviewers know that code review is part of the job, and so it should be done diligently. Have you ever been assigned to review a Pull Request with no idea where to start? Those are the types we should be afraid of! They usually have two outcomes: It’s a small action, but has many benefits discussed in the following sections. If something is unrelated to the current task and needs immediate action, it should be moved to another branch where the change is made (with an additional Pull Request!). To have effective code reviews, you need to avoid including non-related changes inside a single Pull Request. Or saw a variable name we wanted to change. We have all been tempted to just remove a line of code because it was somewhere we didn’t like. The problem with prototyping is that it’s difficult to structure the work into smaller pieces if you don’t know where you’re going just yet. If that’s the case, we start prototyping to figure out the full picture along the way. Sometimes it’s as simple as doing some research, but other times we need to learn a new tech or code base from scratch. There are times when we can’t see the full scope in the planning stage, but we have to get hands on. By breaking the task into smaller parts, we find natural stops where we can take a moment to breathe and pull others into a collaborative process. We are also all tempted to sometimes complete everything in one shot, not stopping for feedback at any point.
