at the same time as the UK, yet play on college and indie radio stations helped it to capture the imagination of enough people to accelerate the official introduction of the band to the U.S. It was not released officially in the U.S. Off their 1982 After The Snow album, in my opinion, it is that much more of a testament to the musical brilliance of the song that it still broke out as big as it did. My first recollection of the band and their music was finding them on regular rotation on MTV in the very early days, from their video for “I Melt With You” (per Robbie from my interview in recent days, the budget for the video was only 1,000 GBP). There is a full and comprehensive biography about Modern English on their webpage with a thorough narrative about the history of the band: LINK Sometime thereafter, Richard Brown and Stephen Walker joined the group, which was then renamed Modern English, and this also marked a change in direction for the kind of music that they made. Modern English has it’s roots in a band called The Lepers, which was formed by Robbie Grey, Gary McDowell, and Michael Conroy in 1979, in Colchester, Essex, England. ![]() In fact, I was inspired to buy their two albums on CD after the show (and from reading their Facebook page, it sounds as though a new album will be coming soon).īelow are a few photos of The Generals performing on stage:īelow is one video I shot of The Generals, performing the song, “Thank You”: Certain aspects of their work reminded me of other artists I really like (in a good way) though collectively I found their sound to be unique and rich with originality, while being hooky/catchy. A two piece band with Matt Sertich on lead vocals and guitars and Kirk Janowiak on drums and vocals, with some prerecorded sounds for their live set-up, I was really impressed with their music. I’d never heard their music before, but really enjoyed their set. The one opening band for Modern English was indie/alternative band and Sacramento natives, The Generals.

The day prior to the show, lead vocalist and front man Robbie Grey took time out of his very busy schedule to chat with me via phone, which is the basis of the “Rock Talk” podcast that was published Thursday. It was both incredible and surreal to see this important band play live, just a few feet in front of me, but definitely worth the wait. Of course, it was a matter of time until that seminal classic song would be played on stage, but the set list leading up to it was a fantastic voyage through their incredible catalog, and they sounded absolutely fantastic (and kudos to Harlow’s for the really nicely tuned sound system). As the band has a history and habit of disbanding (in ’87 and ’91), this was my first time seeing them live, so it was an extra thrill to see the band featuring all of its original members. ![]() For me, their biggest hit, “I Melt With You”, was definitely among the best and most decade defining songs of the 80s – it is really ubiquitous with the vibe and culture and new direction in music that took hold in the early 80s.

![]() Mill has never experienced the life of one of the “lower animals”, and therefore cannot be one hundred percent sure of his opinion. “It is better to be a human being satisfied than a pig satisfied. So if the love of excitement contributes greatly to a higher pleasure with a greater value of happiness, then at least some inferior species must be capable of experiencing these higher pleasures. All he does is run around the entire house multiple times after showing him five seconds of love. It does make sense that since human beings are most definitely superior in the intellectual field that in order to achieve a greater value of happiness one must experience the higher pleasures, but who says that animals are not capable of any of the higher pleasures? “…to the love of power, or the love of excitement, both of which really do enter into and contribute to it…” (Mill, Self-Love 507) Now, I know for a fact that my dog is very capable of being excited. How one measures the justification of the distinction between the lower pleasures and the higher pleasures is based mostly on opinion. Mill believes that animals and human beings both share similar experiences when it comes to the lower pleasures, but that only human beings are capable of the higher pleasures. One will experience these pleasures multiple times daily, thus reducing the amount of satisfaction one feels when experiencing a lower pleasure. The lower pleasures are based off of sensations in which include things such as our five senses: taste, hearing, touch, sight and the sense of smell. “Few human creatures would consent to be changed into an of the lower animals for a promise of the fullest allowance of a beast’s pleasures…” (Mill, Self-Love 506) Both humans and animals are capable of experiencing these pleasures, but what Mill believes is that only Humans are capable of the higher pleasures, and therefore no intelligent human being would chose to become an animal incapable of these more valuable pleasures. Lower pleasures, according to Mill, are those based off of sensations. Mill, unlike some utilitarians (Epicureans), believes that there is an immense distinction between higher and lower pleasures. What is the exact distinction between the lower and higher pleasures? And how are higher pleasures measured as most valuable? How clearly is Mill’s view of lower and higher pleasures justified? Many of these beliefs leave the reader hanging on the edge, with further questions that need to be answered. Though thoroughly explained, one must also question the justification of these pleasures. Mill is a utilitarian philosopher who lives by the Greatest Happiness Principle, in which there is a clear distinction between both lower and higher pleasures. ![]() CD, DVD, VHS tape, software, video game, cassette tape, or vinyl record that has been opened There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable) Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer.

This water-based sealer helps protect from water seepage, mold and mildew, efflorescence, cracking, sun-damage, salt degradation, chemical exposure and more, all while being extremely easy to apply.Our policy lasts 30 days. Ghostshield has accordingly manufactured a water-based silane/siloxane-based sealer in the form of Siloxa-Tek 8500, abiding by EPA law while selling a product that provides excellent protection with a low VOC content. While chemical solvent-based sealers abound, they are increasingly becoming banned in states such as California, which require water-based sealers. If you are looking for the most advanced concrete sealer for concrete blocks that is environmentally friendly and easy to apply,Siloxa-Tek 8500 is by far the best option available on the market today. ![]() As the barrier is actually below the surface, it cannot crack, peel, fade away, or yellow over time, ensuring that your brick looks beautiful regardless of actual age. A silane/siloxane-based sealer is a far better option for sealing concrete blocks its blend of large and small particles, designed specifically for porous material, penetrate the surface and chemically react below the substrate to form a water-repellent barrier. Therefore, a less uniform substance is needed for proper protection. A sodium silicate sealer is comprised of similarly sized particles that seep into the concrete to protect the material, preventing such problems as the spread of mold and radon while helping proof the concrete from water seepage.Ĭoncrete blocks, however, are a much more porous material, featuring small holes and air bubbles of many different sizes. Excellent sealers for low-porosity materials such as a sodium silicate-based sealer simply would not work effectively on concrete block. However, while concrete blocks are largely made from concrete, they are similar to brick in that you cannot seal them as you would a typical poured concrete structure. The best way to prevent this type of problem is by sealing your concrete blocks. Because they are so porous, water easily finds it way underneath the surface, sitting in the numerous air pockets to fester and eventually spawn mold, mildew, and other issues. One of the biggest drawbacks to concrete blocks is their perceptibility to moisture and water seepage. However, if you have an older building, you likely have a basement constructed primarily with concrete blocks. Once the typical material used in basements, newer homes and buildings are increasingly built with poured concrete. Building with concrete blocks has become less and less popular over the past few years. ![]() The brightness of the matrix is a visual indicator of the Cube’s charge level, and the color indicates the energy tier: green (Basic), red (Advanced), blue (Elite), purple (Ultimate).

![]() The cars have a smart AI, they align themselves on the starting lineģ- Charge the Supercars using the power adaptor before the race.Ĥ- You’ll have to play a tutorial round before you can move to challenges and battles.ĥ- You can play an Open Game or Tournaments to earn stars and ranks. Make sure that everyone is connected to the same WIFI network. The box contains 2 Robotic Supercars (Skull and GroundShock), two riser pieces, six curved track pieces, one four-car charging system, four straight track pieces, one tire cleaner.Ģ- Download the Anki OVERDRIVE app (for iOS and Android), create a user and select the car that you will be using in the race. Charging the cars before the race How Anki Overdrive Works:ġ- Unbox your Starter Kit and construct your track. You will unlock new powers and benefits the more you play. You can challenge friends in a variety of game modes, or, go head-to-head with AI controlled Commanders. Each Supercar is a self-aware robot, driven by powerful artificial intelligence (A.I.). You will need the Anki Overdrive App to control your vehicle you can also customize your Supercar’s speed, weapons, and defenses through in-game upgrades. It can also get very expensive if you add on extra tracks and cars.You can battle and race the Supercars on a custom built track of your own. Even after that, there's a bit of a learning curve to figuring out which parts of the experience you can directly control, and which are the cars essentially driving themselves. But it takes a good while to get everything put together and running, especially if newcomers need to get on the same Wi-Fi network, download the app, and set up their characters. The game makes a great first impression as a fun, fast-paced multiplayer party game. Much like an actual race, playing with Anki Overdrive involves speedy straightforward parts, a few twists and turns, and the occasional crash. Note that the Anki apps we used were prerelease versions, so the final versions may differ slightly. It took us a few tries to get the hang of setting up a multiplayer game, but after that it felt like a standard online video game lobby. The host picks a game type (a basic race was the most popular by far) and everyone can select an available car (the app will detect any charged Anki cars nearby). Once you go through a little initial setup and a few tutorial screens, that becomes easier to get to by clicking on "Open Play" rather than "Start" on the app.įrom there, one player hosts a game, while up to three others can join. What Anki Overdrive seems perfect for is pick up and play racing with friends. The strong emphasis on different game types (king of the hill, weapon battles, various single-player AI challenges) feels misplaced. Every game we played ended up as more about button-mashing than precision, in part because the cars drive extremely fast. Through missions, you can level up the virtual weapons and stats on your car, but it's hard to tell exactly what effect any of it has, as the only real-world indicators are some flashing lights on the cars themselves and cars occasionally slowing down or stalling. ![]() We aimed high with our first track and included a jump, but after much setup, the app informed us that the first tutorial mission wouldn't allow a jump, so we had to start over again and rebuild. These dialog scenes are both unbearable and unskippable. The app strongly suggests a series of tutorial missions against AI drivers, and forces you to sit through lengthy vignettes between virtual characters. The launch kit's pieces have special instructions written into the invisible code printed on the track that tells the cars to speed up to make the jump. A pack of two straight pieces or two curved pieces costs $20, while a launch kit for jumps, with two straight pieces and a few plastic risers, is $30. Unlike the single fixed track design the original Anki Drive set came with, you can expand the Overdrive racecourse with add-on track packs. The assisted driving also makes it easier for younger players (or older players who can't get through a Forza lap without crashing a dozen times). The net effect is that you never feel fully in control of what's happening, but there are also many opportunities to use the speed, position and virtual weapons to make a big difference in a race. That can put you in the inside edge of a turn or block a driver coming up from behind. A big part of this is tilting to use the accelerometer in your phone or tablet to steer between the left and right lanes on the track. You'll have to watch your speed and position, or you could end up off the race course, and need to be manually put back on the track. Not that this self-driving feature prevents the cars from running off the track regularly. Why are my Android Messages encrypted?Īndroid Messages are encrypted for several reasons:ġ.

In her article, Derderian explores the political, economic, and cultural changes leading to the rise of arts in the UAE and the gendered shift from largely male to largely female cultural producers that occurred in the mid-2000s. This generation included very few women artists however, in subsequent years, the gendered trend amongst artists in the UAE reversed, and now female artists dominate the scene in the UAE. A pioneering generation of artists began making art in the 1980s in the UAE, which was then a newly formed nation. His article demonstrates how the producers of an episode of SAC, through semiotic cues, attempt to reflect and shape Emirati sociocultural values on pious gendered clothing and perceptions of modernity.Įlizabeth Derderian, in her contribution, “Engendering Change: Charting a History of the Emirates through Women Artists,” explores the intersection of gender, identity, and art in the UAE by charting the work of six female artists based in the UAE between 19. Of particular interest for the topic of this special issue, AlMaazmi’s analysis specifically contributes to discussions of politics of piety and gendered conflict talk by analyzing the strategic illustration of UAE’s female fashion sense and use of the linguistic features that move verbal dueling to verbal attack. One of the significant recurrent themes in the show are fashion and gendered conflict talk. Depending on the episode, it subtly challenges, reproduces, or selectively furthers and complicates social personas in Emirati society. Through his analysis of this show, AlMaazmi suggests that the comic representation of day-to-day topics is used here as part of the process of reproducing Emirati group recognizability, thus consolidating their social citizenship. Emirati popular culture – as mediated in animated sitcoms – is an integral part of the public discourse and imagination of gendered pious fashion and conflict talk, and SAC is one of the earliest and most successful Emirati animated sitcoms in its portrayal of the tapestry of the United Arab Emirates’ ( UAE) ethnic, racial, and linguistic diversity. In “The Apocalyptic Hijab: Emirati Mediations of Pious Fashion and Conflict Talk,” Ahmed Yaqoub AlMaazmi examines an Emirati animated sitcom, Shaabiat Al-Cartoon ( SAC), in order to understand the idiosyncratic concerns of what represents the quintessential characteristics of Emiratis in relation to clothing and language. It is therefore essential that debates around gender and identity in the Gulf are framed within discussions that give voice to both masculine and feminine cultural constructions and representations. The discussion of both masculine and feminine constructions and representations is important as it recognizes that these categories are not necessarily discrete but are interconnected and interrelated. The editors and authors are particularly interested in exploring how both masculinity and femininity are constructed and represented in the Gulf region. In addition, the issue explores how gender and identity intersect within the Gulf to produce distinct modes of cultural representation, both tangible and intangible. The authors of each essay seek to unpack the social, political, and economic structures and discourses that underpin gender identity construction in the Gulf, thus providing a framework from which to recognize the structures of power and the dominant ideologies that operate locally, nationally, regionally, and internationally. ![]() The essays in this special issue address a gap within the literature by analyzing and interrogating the sociocultural production of gender and identity.
