165 park street new haven11/19/2023 In 1700, a small Puritan college known as the Collegiate School was founded in Old Saybrook. It was not until 1873 that New Haven lost its status as co-capital. By 1701, New Haven had grown to be the village center of a mainly agricultural township and became co-capital of Connecticut, along with Hartford. Rather than face the possibility of rule by the Catholic duke, New Haven surrendered its hope of remaining independent and united with the Connecticut Colony. In 1664, the forces of King Charles' brother, the Duke of York, seized New Amsterdam. Three of New Haven's streets are named after the regicides and their story has become an integral part of New Haven's history. They were later joined by a third regicide, John Dixwell. Two of them, Colonel Edward Whalley and his son-in-law Colonel William Goffe fled to America and, in 1661, they were hidden by John Davenport in a cave on the top of New Haven's West Rock. His son, Charles II, became king eleven years later and sought vengeance against the men who had signed his father's death warrant. In 1649, King Charles I of England was accused of treason and beheaded. This disaster ended the dream of creating an economic empire and over the years New Haven became overshadowed by New Amsterdam and Boston. In an attempt to establish direct trade with England, the settlers managed to assemble enough produce to fill a vessel which would become known as the "Great Shippe." However, after setting sail in January, 1646, the ship and its crew were never heard from again. Over the next few years, however, the flow of newcomers began to weaken and trade with the outside world shifted more and more to Boston. By 1641 New Haven had grown into a community of approximately 800. In accordance with old English custom, the central square, now the Green, was designated a public common. The town plan was based on a grid of nine squares. New Haven's founders not only hoped to create a Christian utopia, they also saw in New Haven's spacious harbor an opportunity to establish a commercial empire that would control Long Island Sound and possibly the coastline as far south as Delaware Bay.īy 1640 a complete government had been established and the settlement, originally called Quinnipiac, was renamed Newhaven. In return, the settlers pledged to protect the natives and to allow them the use of the lands on the east side of the harbor. It was for this reason that Momauguin, the sachem of the Quinnipiacks, and other tribe members agreed to sell the tribe's land to the Puritans. They soon discovered that the Quinnipiacks and other local tribes were much distressed by raiding bands of Pequots and Mohawks from surrounding areas. On April 24, 1638, a company of five-hundred English Puritans led by the Reverend John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton, a wealthy London merchant, sailed into the harbor. They harvested seafood, hunted with bow and arrow for food and furs and grew maize, the staple of their diet. Less than four centuries ago the area which is now New Haven was the home of a small tribe of Native Americans, the Quinnipiack, who built their villages around the harbor.

Using black light paint11/18/2023 Motion blur can be a problem in low light. A lens with a wide maximum aperture is also helpful in low light – the best portraits lenses tend to have fast apertures are ideal. A tripod or monopod lets you drop your shutter speed down as low as 1/30 sec – shooting any slower increases the risk of motion blur in your subject.Ī camera with decent low-light performance enables you to capture usable shots at high ISOs – often necessary when shooting under the low output of UV lighting. UV lights typically have quite a low output, so you might need to lower your shutter speed in order to get a usable shot. The brand that we used and recommend is Moon Glow body paint. As well as normal paints, you can also find mascara, nail varnish, hair spray and more. Phosphorescent body paint can be bought online (search for UV Body Paint). Cheaper ultraviolet lights and bulbs are available online, too. We used two UV LED battens to illuminate our paints and subject, which were hired from a party company. Ultraviolet light causes the pigments in phosphorescent paint to glow. So if you want your object to glow brightly and for a long time in the dark, we recommend using a blacklight.(Image credit: James Paterson / Digital Camera World) This is because blacklights emit ultraviolet light, the best type of light for activating phosphors. While phosphorescent paint can glow in the dark without a blacklight, it will not be as bright as if you were to use a blacklight. With these tips, you should be able to make anything glow without using a blacklight! Why using a blacklight is better? However, remember that this isn't an ideal charge method because the lightbulb in the flashlight will eventually die, leaving your object in the dark.

Gaslight 1944 movie putlocker11/18/2023 He keeps her at home constantly, turning away any visitors on the pretext that she’s sick the isolation makes Paula feel even more unmoored. When Paula keeps thinking she hears noises from the attic at night, Anton says that’s impossible – is she sure she’s not dreaming? Or hearing things? She’s been getting kind of forgetful lately, maybe something’s wrong with her?…Īnton persistently chips away at Paula’s sense of reality, making her doubt the things she sees, hears, and does, and even her own memory. When Paula can’t find little things around the house that she could swear she’d just put down right there, Anton suggests that she’s been getting kind of forgetful lately. When Paula senses the new maid really doesn’t like her, Anton brushes it off as being all in her head. Anton brushes her concerns off – she’s just overreacting!ĭismissing Paula’s concerns becomes something Anton does a lot. He tries to laugh off his reaction as “oh, sweetie, I just hate to see you dwelling on icky stuff like that,” but Paula is understandably alarmed. She starts reading it out loud, baffled – and Anton seems unusually freaked out and roars at her to stop. While they’re packing it up, Paula comes across a love letter from someone named Sergis Bauer, written to her aunt two days before her death. In fact, hasn’t Paula inherited her aunt’s old house?….why not live there?Īnton further suggests that they could move all of her aunt’s things into the attic and board up the door so Paula doesn’t have to look at it all the time. Paula dreamily looks forward to a life with Anton in a city like Paris or Vienna – but Anton is strangely insistent on moving back to London. The professor releases gives them his blessing, and the pair quickly tie the knot. We then jump forward ten years to find Paula quitting her music lessons because she’s fallen in love with the class accompanist, Gregory Anton (Charles Boyer). It’s a chance to start afresh, he tells her. The police kindly lead her past the curious throng waiting outside her aunt’s London townhouse and into a carriage, where the avuncular police captain tells her she’s being taken in by her aunt’s old vocal teacher in Italy. That is, she was – the film opens on the night of her aunt’s murder, after Paula has discovered her body. Just in case – Gaslight is the tale of Paula Alquist (Ingrid Bergman), who is a teenage girl living with her opera singer aunt at the very top of the film. But those modern associations are why there’s a scene at the end that felt so viscerally satisfying. If you don’t see a personalisation section, you can always message the seller with your request too.I’d not ever seen this film before, but knew all about it the term “gaslighting” has become common knowledge in the days of #metoo and Gamergate and jerks being jerks to women online.

Apple iphone 12 pro max review11/18/2023 Captured video can now be in 10-bit HDR, branded here with Dolby Vision.Plus a new 65mm (2.5x) telephoto, up from 2x on the older series. The cameras are beefed up with a larger (1/1.86”) main sensor, stabilised with the new (to phones) ‘sensor shift stabilisation’, in theory allowing for longer exposures for stills and smoother video.Although the difference is small in day to day use, future applications and – especially – ProRAW imaging and Dolby Vision video encoding will all make good use of the extra memory and prevent slowdowns. There’s 2GB more RAM (at 6GB now) in the 12 Pro range – more RAM means more can be done at once, more powerful operations can be attempted, and so on.For interest, my review 12 Pro Max is 256GB, chosen by me to apportion a full 128GB of this for video capturing and editing over the next year or so. 128GB is considered the sweet spot for smartphone flagships in 2020 (also true in the Android world), for storing apps, games, media, and (most of all) captured video and photos. The 12 Pro series starts at 128GB (and goes up to 512GB), fixing the main criticism in 2019 of a starting capacity of 64GB and then stepping up to 256GB.I keep my smartphones in a PDair belt holster and larger phones are just fine with these, but it’s fair to say that the 12 Pro Max won’t suit trouser pocket storage! Though it has also been shown that it’s just as vulnerable to scratches from hard objects in pockets (for example), so you’ll still need to be careful. The screen is covered with ‘Ceramic Shield’ glass from Corning, claimed to be (and tests have proved accurate) up to four times less prone to cracking and shattering when impacted (during a drop).Support for 5G worldwide (including mmWave in the USA).The improvements over last year’s iPhone 11 Pro Max break down as follows, in order of significance: You can’t accuse Apple of not giving users options – even if all those options involve handing over significant sums of cash! Mind you, it’s notable that the iPhone 12 mini is also now available, and that’s utterly tiny. But does the extra screen real estate and, in this case, the possible extra imaging finesse make up for the inconvenience of size and weight? I think so. As with previous years’ Plus or Max models, it’s large and heavy, of course. Following from our review of the smaller and more mainstream iPhone 12, the larger and ‘Max’ed out (in every way) iPhone 12 Pro Max is now available as well.

Nota movie release date11/18/2023 “One of the most shocking headlines when I first came back was CNN-literally the headline was ‘Is Barbie Dead?,’” Dickson recalls. Barbie had reached its lowest volume of sales in 25 years, with only $900 million. , her first website, was also launched.ĭickson left Mattel in 2010 and rejoined in 2014 when it was facing one of its worst periods yet. Barbie’s first film, the animated feature Barbie In The Nutcracker, was released in 2001. Dickson oversaw the creation of Barbie Entertainment. In the 2000s, Barbie entered the digital era. Hello Dolly: The first Barbie commercial in 1959. The brand represented half of Mattel’s sales at the time. “It took 28 years to get Barbie to $430 million in sales and just three years to get her to $700 million,” John Amerman, Mattel’s chairman, told Forbes in 1991. She eventually pleaded no contest.Īfter some lean years in the 1980s-during which Barbie found work as an aerobics instructor, cashier, travel agent and a veterinarian-another renaissance occurred. Ruth, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, resigned in 1975-three years before she and several other former Mattel executives indicted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for making false financial statements. But the next decade brought trouble for the Handlers. “If you owned Mattel stock in the Sixties, you were getting double-digit returns every year,” Gerber says. In 1961, Ken-named after the Handlers’ son, Kenneth-debuted. Soon after Barbie’s arrival, the company was inundated with letters asking if she could have a boyfriend. The most valuable are Dress Box Ken, released between 19. But adult dolls made for children to play with didn’t exist. “It hit her that little girls just wanted to be big girls,” Gerber says. Of particular fascination for Handler was that the girls weren’t pretending to be children or mothers with their creations, rather they pretended to be librarians and teachers. Handler got the idea for Barbie when watching her daughter, Barbara, and her friends play with paper dolls, whose outfits and tabs were constantly tearing. “This woman was an entrepreneur, corporate leader, in an industry where there were no women at that level, at a time when women weren’t supposed to do that.” “She was the reason they went from working out of their garage to being able to rent space.”Īs president of the company, Ruth was “the embodiment of her doll,” that “women can be anything,” adds Robin Gerber, author of Barbie and Ruth: The Story of the World's Most Famous Doll and the Woman Who Created Her. “She was the chutzpah, she was the driving force behind the company,” Tanya Lee Stone, author of The Good, the Bad, and the Barbie tells Forbes. (The brand’s moniker was a portmanteau of the men’s first names.) While Elliot handled the design, Ruth was all business. Mattel was started in 1945 by Ruth Handler, her husband, Elliot, and Matt Matson. 1 toy in the world.Īnd that was before this summer’s Barbiemania.įamily Affair: Ruth Handler named famous creations after her daughter, Barbara, and son, Kenneth.

Austin weather this weekend11/18/2023 The city of Austin on Thursday opened cold weather shelters for those experiencing homelessness. But city officials said they're also monitoring weather reports and would announce additional plans on days shelters are activated. In freezing weather, you should always try to protect the four P's: people, pets, plants and pipes. That day's record low is 20 degrees set in 1909. On Monday night, Austin could get as cold as 10 degrees - it would be the city's lowest temperature for Feb. In the urbanized Interstate 35 corridor, Austin's overnight low temperatures this weekend are expected to sink to as low as 29 degrees on Saturday and 16 on Sunday.
