Dark tower8/30/2023 Frank Baum's classic novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz through the eyes of a young African-American kindergarten teacher who's "never been below 125th Street." Leaving a large family dinner to chase her dog into a snowstorm, Dorothy (Diana Ross) is swept up by a cyclone and transplanted to the land of Oz - which looks suspiciously like a skewed version of the run-down Manhattan of the late '70s. It's the ka-tet that makes these books shine, not just Roland, and any version of season 1 that only focuses on Roland is one that would fail to establish the tone of the series, that would fail to give viewers a good idea of what they could expect going forward.Sidney Lumet's The Wiz is the film version of the popular Broadway musical that retells the events of L. At the very least the first season should make it to the end of "The Drawing of the Three" with Roland, Eddie and Susannah working together. Season 1 should end at book 3's halfway point, where the ka-tet of Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and (of course) Oy has fully formed. Most importantly, any TV adaptation of "The Dark Tower" should establish the core ka-tet of the series by the end of the first season. ![]() Roland's backstory is something that would have to be told in Lost-style flashbacks throughout the series, or given maybe one or two full episodes of focus (three episodes max) before the series moved on. Dedicating a whole season to "Wizard and Glass," for instance, would be a death sentence for any show that cared even a little bit about keeping viewers tuned in. It's an odd assumption given how we've already seen with "Game of Thrones" and "The Expanse" that this isn't necessary. There's a strange misconception among a lot of "Dark Tower" fans when talking about an adaptation, however, where fans often seem to think that a TV series would have to dedicate one season to nearly every book. To pull this story off would require a lot of boldness on the part of the show's writers, and if the 2017 "Dark Tower" movie was any indication, boldness has been in short supply so far. This was already a deeply controversial plot point in the books, but how would this work for a TV show or a movie exactly? Instead of stumbling across "Salem's Lot" the novel, does Father Callahan discover a DVD of the upcoming "Salem's Lot" movie? Are they still reckoning with the idea that they might be book characters, or are they reckoning with the idea that they're unknowingly characters on a TV show? Or would it make more sense to throw in the additional layer of them realizing they're movie characters in an adaptation of a book? Admittedly this all sounds like it'd be very interesting to watch, but it sounds like a massive headache from a screenwriting perspective. Saving King's life is important to the characters because the car accident took place in 1999, and if King had died in the accident he wouldn't have been able to finish the final three books in the series, which were published in rapid succession in 2003, early 2004, and late 2004. The nostalgic feel of the flashback would also be lost.Ī big part of the seventh book, "The Dark Tower," centers around Roland and Jake's attempts to prevent Stephen King from dying in that real-life car accident that nearly killed him. ![]() The main arc taking place throughout the seven-book series is the ka-tet becoming closer and closer with each other, and by erasing the communal nature of "Wizard and Glass," they would've been severely undermining that arc. This is why the massive flashback in the books works well: it's not just that it fills us in on Roland's backstory, it's that it has the reader learn the backstory along with the other characters. ![]() Part of the fun of these books is watching Roland slowly open up despite the first book taking place almost entirely from his perspective, by the time we get to the beginning of "Wizard and Glass" the reader still knows about as much about the character as Eddie, Susannah, and Jake do. By the halfway point of book 3 ("The Waste Lands") Roland manages to redeem his earlier sin by saving Jake's life, and these characters end up forming a tight, inseparable bond. He ends up in a world-hopping mission where he meets and rescues Eddie, a troubled heroin addict, and Susannah, a woman who unknowingly suffers from dissociative identity disorder. The next book is when Roland's quest finds him forced to create a team, (a "ka-tet" as the books call it), which pulls him out of his shell.

Creepy subnautica creatures8/30/2023 ![]() Now imagine this: You are 900 meters below the surface, your oxygen is running low and you are trapped in an seemingly endless void of dark waters, trying to find your orientation and your submarine. It is common knowledge that the deeper you go in the water, the less light there will be, and in Subnautica, you are required to go deeper in order to progress. The fourth and last aspect i will elaborate on is ambeince and sound design. But on an alien planet? Who knows what will be in the water? For example, if you’re swimming in an ocean on Earth, you can say that there may be a few fishes underneath you, or maybe a few sharks (no biggie right?), but you can be pretty sure there WILL NOT be a giant 100 meter long leviathan swimming in the same waters as you. This aspect kind of overlaps with the fear of the unknown, but it also has some characteristics of its own. If you don’t know what that is, it is the intense fear of large, and deep oceans. This will give you a feeling that there is always something big and dangerous chasing you, no matter where you go. When you go to the locations, you will already be overwhelmed by the fear of the unknown, but to add to that fear, the developers of the game decides to put the most dangerous creatures in the entire game patrolling the places that you are forced to go to in order to progress further into the story. In the game, you have to visit specific points on the map in order to progress further into the game. This unknown planet aspect causes the player to have thoughts about dangerous creatures they don’t know about that wants to kill them. Phychological research has proven that humans have a strong tendency to repel things that they are not familiar with, and sticks with the things they are. The game just dumps you straight into a alien planet you are unfamiliar with right from the beginning. The first aspect i would like to talk about is the fear of the unknown. Instead, Subnautica uses a few aspects that i will talk and elaborate on. Now, Subnautica does not use jumpscares, or blood and guts like you would expect in any other horror game. Horror is an essential component of making Subnautica what it is. ![]() ![]() However, there is another aspect within the game that is not listed: Horror. The amazing game of Subnautica is marketed as an underwater survival/adventure game.

Best way to heal turf burn8/30/2023 To aid avoid infection, put antibiotic ointment to the wound if it is not too painful to the touch. After washing, apply a clean wound dressing to the area and push firmly in order to avoid bleeding. Athletes experiencing turf burn should promptly cleanse the area with water and a saline solution to remove any debris, grit, or sand that is embedded in your skin. They could also develop in college or professional athletes who expose their arms and legs to the danger of slipping on the turf, such as cheerleaders. These sorts of injuries are normal among athletes who participate in sports, notably football and soccer. The touch causes painful red abrasions and may lead to major health issues such as for example methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections (staph) and sepsis. grass burn occurs when exposed skin slides over artificial grass. To avoid infection and promote healing, repeat the cleaning, ointment, and bandage regimen on a regular basis. Finally, apply a clean bandage on the abrasion. If you don’t have an antibiotic ointment readily available, aloe vera is an excellent option because it serves as a natural antiseptic and may assist in the healing process. Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to the abrasion. Then, utilizing a clean towel, gently wipe it dry. If the wound is bleeding, apply firm pressure and rinse before bleeding stops. To clean the abrasion, use water or perhaps a saline solution and carefully rinse away any leftover filth. Cleaning the site following a turf burn is crucial because dirt, debris, or sand from the grass may transfer germs into the open area and cause infection. If ignored, it could get contaminated and serve as an entrance site for bacteria such as for example staph, which can happen to be other regions of the body and cause issues such as for example bone or bloodstream infections. Since it loses a layer of skin, a grass burn is more severe than small scrapes and scratches. When you fall on the grass, though, you expose yourself to friction, which may create severe skin abrasions known as turf burn. Purify the Wound When you’re on the field, you’re usually focused on blocking a go or chasing down a new player to tackle him, therefore the rough and abrasive nature of artificial grass isn’t constantly on your mind. Additionally it is good to use an antibiotic ointment to the wound and cover it with a breathable bandage. When these wounds form, they need to be cleansed immediately to avoid infection. It could cause skin abrasions on the elbow, knee, wrist, palm, forearm, chin, and chest. You can take it off after a few days, once the wound has closed.Grass burn is really a painful injury that could develop while slipping or falling on artificial grass during sports. Keep the dressing clean by changing it as often as you need.

Turbotax credit score method8/30/2023 ![]() So, extending a net 30 line of credit helps vendors build their book of business, and some vendors profit from the service. Second, the credit-building aspect of using a net 30 account helps vendors attract new customers. First, net 30 accounts incentivize customers to place more and larger orders because they don’t need to pay right away. Vendors benefit from net 30 accounts in two ways. Once you build your credit score using tools like net 30 accounts, you’ll be able to qualify for other types of small business loans. Many net 30 vendors will extend credit to businesses other lenders won’t touch. However, if they can reasonably assume that they’ll be able to sell enough of the toys within a 30-day window to pay back the invoice, then extending a net 30 line of credit could be a sufficient incentive to place an order.Īdditionally, many businesses - particularly those that are unestablished or have bad credit, can use a net 30 account to help build their credit score. For example, a retailer might not have the funds to pay for a shipment of toys upfront. A no-interest loan can also help buyers who might not have all the money to pay upon receipt. First, business net 30 accounts function as zero-interest loans for the initial 30-day period. The benefits of net 30 accountsīuyers benefit from net 30 accounts in several ways. For example, while buyers get 30 days to pay their bill - effectively getting a one-month interest-free loan - vendors are also able to encourage more sales and reduce late payments. In addition to having benefits for buyers, net 30 accounts also offer distinct advantages to sellers. Net 30 account vendors don’t charge interest or penalties unless the customer waits more than 30 days to pay their invoice. ![]() These accounts provide customers with 30 days from the invoice date to pay for the goods received or services provided. Net 30 accounts, sometimes called vendor tradelines, are short-duration lines of credit that some vendors extend to their customers.

I WANT THEM TO PAY AND PAY A BIG PRICE FOR THIS!!!!!!!!! My theory is they can Sell and Monetize our information thus that was their motivation. I am not a lawyer but people with common sense and fairness would agree that was deceitful and on purpose. However, it was not on the Consent disclosure so I don't think that argument holds much water. The Refund Advance was the Bait knowing they could argue it was on their website. I personally believe it's illegal bc it was designed to sign off on our rights in regards to Allowing them to share our Information.
