![]() The only issue we have is that it was cast from a very pliable plastic. The detail is astounding and the paint jobs they received are even better than the sculpting. The top (and biggest) skull looks to be a Bith victim. ![]() The staff contains the heads of three previous victims of various cranial size hanging from the top of it. But the real reason to be excited about the accessories is for the staff and carcass. We’re not so sure why Hasbro included a repack of the figure that accompanied The Power Of The Force “2” Oola And Salacious Crumb Fan Club exclusive figure set, but Hasbro has done just that to give a little more value for any collector’s dollar. Having missing articulation affects the system.Īmanaman (With Salacious Crumb) has some incredible accessories, one of which is Salacious Crumb himself. It is a fantastic sculpt, but for the included articulation to be more useful, more articulation will be needed since it functions as a system. We’re not complaining about this figure’s articulation honestly. Two ball-jointed shoulders are joined by two swivel wrists and two swivel hips (which are essentially pointless since the tail prevents any meaningful movement. This makes holding the staff a little arduous and at times completely impossible. You get to swing two long arms around without any meaningful positioning. Hasbro took the time to engineer two premium ball-jointed shoulders, but they don’t do that much good when there are no elbow joints. Primarily yellow and green, Hasbro ensured that they breathed life into this sculpt with lots of shadowy washes to show the creature’s wrinkly skin and cold-blooded features which make him the most feared head hunter that we can recall from any film. The slightly cocked head, the expertly crafted arms and enlarged hands, and the design of the reptilian features are just astounding. Amanaman certainly isn’t as articulated as any of us would have hoped for, but that doesn’t mean that its sculpt isn’t one of the greatest accomplishments of Hasbro’s career. It’s one of Hasbro’s greatest sculpts of all time easily. Size issue aside, Amanaman (With Salacious Crumb) is a phenomenal release. This The Power Of The Force figure is bigger than the other human characters, and that’s where we believe so many of us base our opinions. Still, the debates rage on, and we feel it is because of the translation of the 1985 Kenner figure. Clear screenshots from Return Of The Jedi show that Amanaman is not any taller than an average human denizen, and although he has disproportionately long and large arms, he isn’t freakishly tall. We’re not so sure if we understand why there are differing opinions on this topic. A great release no matter how you viewed the way Hasbro packaged it, controversy kept rearing its ugly head and collectors began to find something else wrong with the figure: its size. Of course, many collectors balked at the $9.99 price tag but still bought the figure anyway. While thrilled to have the figure available for purchase, collectors felt the decision was bittersweet because this character could have easily fit on any basic figure card back, especially in the Power Of The Jedi line, and the price was a bit more than the average collector was willing to pay. Hasbro thought the figure was too big for a basic figure release. But due to his size, Hasbro unceremoniously “promoted” him to Deluxe status. He's a long-running and much-requested candidate for the Hasbro 3.75” line. Hasbro finally chose Amanaman as the Fans’ Choice Figure No. Multiple controversies, all of which are relatively harmless, surround the Amanaman (With Salacious Crumb) Deluxe figure from the Power Of The Jedi line.

These results justify the need for PNH testing that can detect small PNH clones with at least 0.01% sensitivity in patients with AA/low-grade MDS. AA patients harboring small PNH clones show better responsiveness to immunosuppressive therapy, and 10–25% of these patients exhibit expansion of small PNH clones, which could progress to overt PNH. Small PNH clones are present in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and low-grade myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), with an incidence of 18.5% (AA)/1.1% (MDS) when a 1% cutoff is applied and 39.5% (AA)/1.8% (MDS) when a 0.01% cutoff is applied. Patients with classical PNH with overt (>1%) PNH clones diagnosed by flow cytometry (FCM) can show intravascular hemolysis however, symptom positivity is correlated with the proportion of cells lacking GPI-anchored proteins. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hematopoietic stem cell disease caused by mutation of the PIG-A gene encoding enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins on red blood cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs). Keywords: Flow cytometry, High sensitivity, Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, Performance, Clone HS-FCM can sensitively detect minor PNH clones and reduce false-positive C-FCM minor PNH clone cases in AA/low-grade MDS patients. In PNH patients, C-FCM detected a greater PNH clone size than HS-FCM (mean difference: 2.5%). C-FCM detected minor PNH clones in nine samples, but six of them were negative by HS-FCM. In AA/low-grade MDS patients, C-FCM showed >1% PNH clones in six samples, but HS-FCM showed >1% PNH clones in none of the samples. For red blood cells, C-FCM detected a greater PNH clone size than HS-FCM (mean difference: 1.5%). ![]() In PNH patients, C-FCM detected a smaller PNH clone size than HS-FCM (mean difference: 1.9?5.0%). Seven samples showed minor PNH clones by C-FCM, but HS-FCM showed negative results for all these samples. In AA/low-grade MDS patients, three samples showed >1% PNH clones with C-FCM but not with HS-FCM. For granulocytes, C-FCM detected a smaller PNH clone size than HS-FCM (mean difference: 0.7?1.7%). No healthy control samples had PNH clone size >0.01%. MethodsĬ-FCM and HS-FCM were performed simultaneously on 41 samples from healthy controls and 23 peripheral blood samples from 15 AA/low-grade MDS and eight PNH patients, using a Navios flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL, USA). We compared its performance with conventional flow cytometry (C-FCM) for diagnosing overt PNH and detecting minor (0.1?1%) PNH clones in aplastic anemia (AA)/low-grade myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. ![]() High sensitivity flow cytometry (HS-FCM) was recently developed for diagnosing paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). ![]() ![]() Initially, she was known as Kore, “The Maiden,” a reference to her determined virgin status and her role as Goddess of Spring. Persephone is most commonly known today by her Greek name meaning “ Destroy-Slay ,” but she was also known by many other monikers and titles throughout Greek and Roman mythologies. This is symbolic of the spring and summer months when vegetation is planted, grown, and harvested.The Goddess Persephone’s Many Names Proserpine, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1821-1882, Tate Modern Art Gallery, London When Persephone is with her mother in the upper world, vegetation grows and it is harvested. This is symbolic of winter when vegetation dies. As the goddess of the harvest, Demeter does not allow any vegetation to be produced. In the months that Persephone lives in the underworld with Hades, Demeter is sad and missing her daughter. The remainder of the year, Persephone would live in the upper world with her mother, Demeter. Therefore, he came up with a compromise.įor one-third of the year, Persephone would live with Hades in the underworld as his wife and queen of the underworld. Zeus was a just and fair god who understood the laws but also needed to take care of the people who were going to be famished by Demeter’s wrath and sadness. Demeter knows that, no matter what, the law says her daughter must now live with Hades. Persephone answers yes she had eaten a pomegranate that Hades forced upon her.ĭemeter is heartbroken because she knows that anyone who eats the sacred fruit in the underworld is bound to Hades and the underworld forever. She quickly asks her daughter if she had eaten anything while in the underworld. Persephone Returns to DemeterĪfter Hades releases Persephone to Demeter, Demeter is so happy to have her daughter back and she ends the famine. Hades agrees to release Persephone, but not before he gives her a piece of pomegranate fruit to eat. Hermes told Hades that the only way the famine would end is if he would return Persephone to her mother Demeter. Hermes told Hades that there was a great famine on the earth sent by Demeter that was causing multiple casualties. Zeus needed the famine on the earth to end and knew the only way this would happen is if Hades released Persephone. Zeus sent Hermes, the messenger god, to talk to Hades. The drought and famine on the earth had taken multiple victims and there was no end in sight. Demeter vowed that she would not end the famine until her daughter was returned to her. Demeter was sad and lifeless, bringing a famine upon the earth to show her sorrow. When Demeter discovered her daughter was missing, she searched everywhere for her. Hades had abducted Persephone and taken her to the underworld to live with him for eternity. Hades was captivated by her beauty and wanted her as his wife, so he opened up the ground underneath Persephone’s feet to the underworld where he lived. One day, Persephone was in a meadow picking wildflowers when Hades saw her. She is the daughter of Demeter, Greek goddess of the harvest, and Zeus, the Greek god of the sky. Persephone is the Greek goddess of vegetation and grain. Hades Sees Persephone Plutus and Demeter, Apulian red-figure loutrophoros C4th B.C., The J. Instead, he would reside in the underworld, watching over the souls who had died. As god of the underworld, Hades did not reside on Mount Olympus with his brothers and sisters. Zeus would rule the sky, Poseidon would rule the sea, and Hades would rule the underworld. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were brothers and needed to decide which god would rule which area of the universe, so they divided the universe and drew lots. After the Olympians had defeated their Titan ancestors, they came to rule the universe. ![]() GROSS: So the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media has done a lot of research on the numbers. And it seemed that, in the 21st century, this was a horrible message to be sending and very shocking. You know, some shows are researched and all that and certainly harmless.īut this struck me very deeply that we're training kids from the beginning, from minute one of absorbing popular culture, that women and girls are not as important as men and boys, and they're not as valuable to our society as men and boys. And I think most people and certainly I did assume that kids entertainments are harmless, that they're - they might even be good for kids. ![]() But for the most part, I saw appalling gender imbalance. You know, the "Teletubbies" are gender-balanced I don't know if you can tell. I showed her, you know, G-rated videos and little kids movies and TV shows - and, you know, obviously, there's some exceptions to that. So I sat down with her, and the very first show I turned on and watched with her, I pretty much immediately noticed something, and I thought, wait a minute - how many female characters are in this show? And I was counting on my hands as I held her in my lap, and it was horrifying, and I was absolutely stunned. I - my daughter was a toddler, and I decided she was old enough to start watching preschool shows. GROSS: How did you decide to create your institute?ĭAVIS: It was very specific, actually. I felt very unhappy with having that sort of imposed on me by other people. I thought, this is incredibly unfair, and I don't want other people deciding that I have to work less, you know, and taking away opportunities. I was very upset and angry at that happening to me. Or did you think, oh, it's me - no one wants me anymore?ĭAVIS: Oh, no. GROSS: Did you think of it as discrimination against older women? Did you think of it as there not being enough roles for women in their 40s? Which really isn't very old. I very much expected that that would not be the case. And I also expected it to be not true anymore by the time I would get to that age. It was once there was a four in front of my age, and.ĭAVIS: You know, I had heard about that for a long time, that people said that things change when you turn 40 or when you're in your 40s, but I didn't expect it to be literal. GEENA DAVIS: Well, it was pretty dramatic. When did things start to slow down in your acting career? Geena Davis and Maria Giese, welcome to FRESH AIR. Her work led to an ongoing EEOC, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, investigation into systemic discrimination against women directors, as well as an ACLU campaign against discrimination. After feeling that she was shut out of directing because she's a woman, she became an activist. Also with us is director Maria Giese, who's featured in the film, too. She's receiving an honorary Oscar this year, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, at a special ceremony in October. She is an executive producer of and is featured in the new documentary "This Changes Everything," about how women in Hollywood are pushing for more representation in front of and behind the camera. In 2004, she founded the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media to get the actual data comparing the number and types of male and female roles and to use that data to convince the industry of the need for change. My guest Geena Davis starred in two movies about female empowerment - "Thelma & Louise" and "A League Of Their Own." But when she got older and roles started to dry up, she realized how unempowered women were in Hollywood.

![]() The player that takes the last trick in a round captures the nest and scores any counters in it. Tricks taken may not be reviewed by any player until the end of the round. When a trick is taken, it is placed face-down in front of the player who took it. The person who takes the trick leads in the next trick. The opponents score all the counters they captured before the error was discovered. If it is not discovered until later, the round ends, and the team that made the error loses a number of points equal to the bid, regardless of which team made the bid. The error of a player reneging, or failing to follow suit, may be corrected before the next trick is taken. The highest card of the leading suit takes the trick, unless a trump card is played, in which case the highest trump card takes the trick. Players with no cards of the leading suit may play any other card, including the Rook Bird card or a card of the trump suit. After each player has played, the player that played the highest card of the suit of the leading card takes all of the cards played, or "takes the trick".Ī player must either follow suit (play a card of the leading suit) or play the Rook Bird card. Play proceeds clockwise, with each player playing one card face-up in turn. At any time during the bidding process, a player can call a redeal if they have no points in their hand.Īfter the trump suit has been named, the player to the left of the dealer places any card of any suit face-up on the center of the table. The high bidder then names the trump suit. The high bidder adds the five cards of the nest to his or her hand, then lays any five cards to the side. A player that has passed may not make another bid for the round. Players choosing not to increase the bid may pass to the next player. The minimum bid is 70 points, and the maximum is 120 points (the number of points a team would make if they captured all the counters in the game). Bidding starts with the player to the left of the dealer and passes clockwise. The remaining cards are dealt normally.Īfter the deal, players bid in increments of 5 points for the privilege of naming the trump suit. This is repeated until there are five cards (the nest) in the middle of the table. After every player has received his or her first card, the dealer places one card face-down in the center of the table. ![]() The dealer shuffles and cuts the deck, then deals all of the cards, one at a time. The 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s are removed from the deck, and the Rook Bird card is added, for a total of 41 cards. Each 5 is worth 5 points, each 10 and 14 is worth 10 points, and the Rook Bird card is worth 20 points. If both teams have over 300 points at the end of a round, the team with the higher point total wins. The object of the game is to be the first team to reach 300 points by capturing cards with a point value in tricks. Players must keep their hands secret from all other players, including their teammates. The official rules for Tournament Rook (also known as Kentucky Discard) are as follows.įour players are organized into two teams of two players each, sitting opposite each other. Grace chose the name "Rook", and with the addition of a " Rook" card (serving as the Joker) the 57-card deck took its final shape. With this new fifty-six-card deck, whist and most other common card games could be faithfully played. The hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds were replaced with " suits" of colors: red, yellow, green, and black. ![]() They replaced the Ace with a "1" and the jack, queen, and king with "11", "12", and "13" cards, and added a "14" card as well. To accomplish this, George and Grace recast the standard deck of playing cards. ![]() Parker and his wife Grace sought to create a deck of cards that could be marketed to people with religious objections to the standard deck. Sometimes referred to as Christian cards or missionary cards, Rook playing cards were introduced by Parker Brothers in 1906 to provide an alternative to standard playing cards for those in the Puritan tradition, and those in Mennonite culture who considered the face cards in a regular deck inappropriate because of their association with gambling and cartomancy. Rook is a trick-taking game, usually played with a specialized deck of cards. 10 to 60 minutes per round, Any number of rounds ![]() Glitter Nailsĭid you ever consider glitter polish to be nude?

The motel is about a mile from I-10, and fast surface streets let you bypass I-10 to downtown. There's a McDonald's a 2-minute walk away, and a Belize (the country) restaurant on the property that I didn't try. There are lots of major stores in the area: a big Target across the street, CVS and Ralph's supermarket in a shopping center a couple of minutes away, and many more. The three people I saw on staff were friendly and helpful. Having the front door always open to the street (with security at night) helped the relaxed feel: It told me that the area was safe and there weren't people hanging out nearby. My second-floor room had a window that opened using the bathroom exhaust fan (which pulled a lot of air from the window) made it easy to freshen up the room. Unlike some budget motels, my very big room had furniture that matched, fairly large fridge and TV, several mirrors, clean carpet without holes, a comfortable king bed, and quiet (though maybe that's because it was mid-October and not busy).
