"He doesn't know anything about drag, so there's nothing to talk to him about it. "Once that piece of the puzzle finally came in, it was like a liberation," says Gigi, then shrugs. Gigi credits her success to her mother's support, while it was through Drag Race that Gigi's father was able to come around and for the first time, tell his son that he is proud of him. At 21, Gigi was cast to compete on the biggest drag stage of them all, owning the Drag Race runway with a closet full of Kristi's designs: A pastel motorcycle look fashioned from their church's Easter tablecloths, an orange dress suit tallying some 25,000 hand-applied buttons, an '80s prom dress Kristi finished the night before Gigi left for the show. "She was making something for her son to wear in order to bring passion into his life and to make him feel comfortable in his own skin."Ī post shared by Gigi Goode wasn't long after that RuPaul came calling. "She wasn't making a dress for a drag queen," Gigi says. It wasn't long before Kristi was creating custom designs for Gigi. At the time, my dad didn't know about it, so it was almost like a little speakeasy," Gigi recalls. "My mom has this cedar closet in our basement that is packed full of vintage dresses and hats and accessories and jewelry. "I can remember the pitter patter of my heart to this day." His parents learned about that first gig via Snapchat and though they were initially disapproving, the self-proclaimed mama's boy soon found an ally in his mom, costume designer Kristi Geggie, as Gigi's aesthetic left Iggy Iggs behind for a '50s housewife phase. Still, "Imagine me, super queer at 15 years old, getting this opportunity to just play dress up and get onstage," Gigi recalls. Sans nails, pads or a mastery of contouring, that first performance was a far cry from the Gigi we know today. But I've been dressing up as a girl since as long as I can remember." He secretly ordered a lace front wig and donned a crop top and leather leggings to channel Iggy Azalea. "Because that's when I became aware of the actual term.

The prime minister’s office has made multiple fruitless requests to WeChat to regain access to the account, most recently on Jan. With a national election due by May, the government would have aimed to use the Morrison account to promote its policies during the Chinese New Year celebrations starting Feb. SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s Liberal Party lost access to his official WeChat social media account months ago, politicians said on Monday, issuing claims of censorship, while the still-active account being run by an unidentified controller now promotes Chinese life in Australia.Īmid growing diplomatic tensions with China, Australia’s two major political parties have used the social media platform, owned by Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd, to communicate with Australian voters of Chinese ethnicity in tightly fought electorates since 2019. Luminous Productions made the announcement of the newest release date on social media, explaining that all game elements are now. They also spoke about two particular PlayStation exclusives to help them learn what open-world mistakes they should avoid while working on Forspoken. Forspoken is scheduled for release on Tuesday, January 24, 2023. Being able to battle against all manner of beasts, using an array of uniquely constructed powers, is definitely going to be fun to explore further. Read: Ready or Not stuck on Black or Loading screen. VG247 recently had the opportunity to talk to some of the devs on Forspoken too, where they explained why releasing the game on PS4 just wouldn't be possible. The selling points of Forspoken are those elements of magic and monsters that the trailers have teased so elegantly. Now, set the OVERRIDE FOR Forspoken option to Disable Steam Input. Obviously with the demo available to try out now it's up to you what you think of the game, but for those who are concerned about what's there currently, it's at least good to know it doesn't reflect the final game. Forspoken is the sort of game you’ve probably seen before from its stereotypical fish-out-of-water fantasy story to its giant open-world map full of repetitive optional tasks. So the full game isn’t actually designed like that, that was just specifically created for that demo experience." So that was specifically kind of fetch quest-like in terms of the makeup, like, do these five objectives and then you get to fight a boss. A demo for Square Enix’s action RPG Forespoken has just hit the PlayStation Network. Talking about the demo the interviewer played at the Tokyo Game Show earlier this year, the same demo players have access to now, Mtsuno said "that was a specially crafted gameplay demo just to give a feel for the mechanics of parkour and magic. Across my roughly three hours of time spent hands-on with Forspoken, I arrived in a fantastical new world, battled a dragon.

Saved coordinates of important timesaving locations.Made improved save/load teleport scripts based off from Phokz's teleport to bloodstain script.Added DLC items to item swap and some extra stuff and make sort by item ID#, alphabetical order and catagory.Added a bunch of hotkeys and memo showing what keybindings they're assigned to.My tweaked table has the following features so far. My table contains a tab with Phokz's latest version and another tab with my tweaks. Good hunting to you.Yeah so nobody was downloading my table which i'm still updating and it's based off of Phokz's unfinished table which you can check out here Don't worry, it's a good old time, isn't it? Great to have you with us. Traitors aren't given a second chance, for any reason. Except there's little in the form of rules, you hear? Fight and hunt as you like. Let's teach you the clan basics now, as there is no time to chat in the midst of fighting. I'm Shiva of the East, captain of the brigade. Video Showing you how to get him as a merchant and more info.Ĭlick to see Dialogue (Contains Spoilers) After killing him, you would re-obtain your Chaos Blade, along with a soul of reprisal. To reobtain the chaos blade, you would have had to hunt Shiva down in the Painted World. This would then result in the loss of the Chaos Blade and in place of it, a Black Eye Orb was given to the player. Another plausible thing would have been him taking the Covenant of Artorias ring from you and you having to invade him in New Londo.Ī third speculation was the after obtaining the Chaos Blade, Shiva would talk about it in envy and betray you by backstabbing you and killing you. Either way you would have had to invade him to get something back from him. So either he was going to hunt the firekeeper in Queelag's Domain or he was going to kill Alvina and you had to rescue her soul. It was leaked he was going to be a much more evil character, due to the leaked info he was going to have a black eye orb. This ring slows the loss of weapon durability and is particularly useful to bearers of delicate swords crafted in the East. Note: Shiva will reappear if you talk to Oswald of Carim, absolve your sins and rejoin the covenant.Note: If you leave the covenant by any means, Shiva will no longer appear in Blighttown.You must talk to Shiva at the forest hunters base before he will appear in Blighttown and sell you his wares.In order for him to appear in Blighttown, you must first join the Forest Hunter's Covenant by talking to Alvina in the Darkroot Garden. Located in Blighttown under the water wheel.To make him reappear I had to rejoin the forest hunters. I cancelled the covenant via Oswald and although Shiva vanished from the swamp, he didn't reappear in the forest. If you decide to kill Shiva and his bodyguard for their items after joining the covenant, you may have to break the covenant by attacking them in Blight town.However, you must still be a member of the Forest Covenant for him and his bodyguard to appear there. Blighttown - Afterwards, if he's not in Darkroot Garden, he becomes available as a merchant in the Blighttown swamp in front of the waterwheel elevator. He will tell you some background information on the Forest hunter covenant. Darkroot Garden - First encounter, after you join the Forest Hunter Covenant, he's located near the ruins entrance.See the Merchants page for more information. If you belong to the Hunter's Covenant, Shiva will appear as a merchant in Blighttown, standing next to the waterwheel. He is wearing the Eastern armor, a complete set of which can be found on the eastern edge of the cliff in the first part of the forest after the big sealed door. He can be found standing next to the castle where Alvina lives, and he will give you some friendly advice if you speak to him after joining the Covenant. He is the assumed Second-in-Command of the Forest Hunter Covenant. Shiva of the East is a Character in Dark Souls. You can replace salt and sugar with flour, milk, maple syrup, or honey, and the math will hold. Teaspoons to cups conversions work the same regardless of the ingredient. This is just below one tenth of a cup, and you can see why a teaspoon was used as a measurement unit instead of a cup as it becomes impractical for such small volumes. Sample task: convert four teaspoons of sugar to cups, following the UK / Imperial definitions for both units. The result can be rounded slightly to arrive at 0.25 cups (¼ cup) for easier communication and practical applications. Sample task: convert 12 teaspoons of salt to cups, by using the US definition of each unit. There is no juggling of units involved as both are units of volume. Converting between tsp and cupsĬonversion from teaspoons to cups is a matter of simple mathematical division. Basic algebraic operations are used to derive those equalities starting with the base definitions of the units in ml. There are 48.7 teaspoons in a cup according to the US definition of cups and teaspoons while in the Imperial (UK) versions of the same units 48 teaspoons equal a cup. Older recipes might reference Imperial cups which equal 284 ml. The most used definition is the US legal cup defined as containing 240 ml of volume as per a 1970 international treaty the US is a part of. The cup is als a unit for measuring volume. The former definition sees wider use in later decades as it is the official and legal definition, while the latter is more likely to be encountered in older books. One US teaspoon is defined as exactly 5 milliliters while an Imperial teaspoon is 6 milliliters. tablespoon is a unit of volume equal to 1/16 th of a U.S. Teaspoons are units of volume defined in two official ways. How big is 3 tablespoons What is 3 tablespoons in cups 3 tbsp to cups conversion. Both units measure volume and are therefore more or less interchangeable with the former used more for smaller quantities for things like spices, seasonings, and dressings while the latter can more often be seen next to main ingredients such as water, milk, and flour. Teaspoons to cups conversion table (US)īoth teaspoons and cups are often encountered as units of measurement for ingredients in cooking recipes, as well as grocery shopping lists. “Comfort is a measurable standard, as opposed to a subjective judgment of what may constitute comfortable seating,” says Ray Melleady, managing director, USSC North America. The significant challenge in the design of driver seats is to arrive at a safe and comfortable solution that can accommodate a wide variety of body types. “From our work with Ford and Chevrolet, we have adopted 202A as the standard for the small and medium duty bus markets - even though it is not required.” “The 202A standard is law for any vehicle under 10,000 pounds GVW,” Cohen says. The standard provides for greater head and neck support. “Motorcoach drivers will often opt for a static seat with a height adjustment over a suspension driver seat that costs 30 to 40 percent more.”Ĭohen says the landscape changed when Ford and Chevrolet adopted 202A, a FMVSS standard 202A for passenger seating which establishes criteria for the height of the seatback. “This is less of an issue in motorcoaches, as those vehicles ride on much softer suspension systems typically over smooth highways,” says Dan Cohen, vice president of sales and marketing for Freedman Seating. This key fatigue factor typically requires a suspension seat mounted to an oscillating suspension that can absorb road vibrations through its own built-in air spring and shock absorber. “High-spine alignment is something we consider with all of our designs.” “They must be comfortable and offer improved concentration on the road,” Sieber says. Jonathan Sieber, director of sales, RECARO Automotive Seating, says seats must not cause bodily harm or damage the health of the lower back, the shoulders and entire spine. Seat vibration is a source of driver fatigue and can become a safety issue. In this case, the armrest lowers and slides back into a full lock position to keep the driver from leaving the seat. The HSM Driver seat, featuring Maximum Driver Protection (MDP), evolves from research on driver incidents, such as the driver doing something to slip or fall out of the seat and cause the vehicle to swerve. HSM has incorporated a dual retractor system with a restraint length up to 100 inches, to restrain the smallest to largest driver without having to rely on an independent belt extender. Though not mandated as yet, three-point seat belts are closer to a standard than an option in today’s motorcoach market. Much of the focus on bus safety currently points to seatbelts. Here are the key takeaways from our conversations. The companies commented on the regulations and procedures they adhere to, and the standards they establish themselves that allow their products to perform satisfactorily in these critical areas. RECARO Automotive Seating, Auburn Hills, MI - A division of the global Johnson Controls group, RECARO manufactures premium driver and passenger seating for every type of commercial bus. HSM, Hickory, NC - Formerly known as Hickory Springs Manufacturing, HSM has expanded by bringing in other companies to fully integrate its manufacturing of seating products for school buses, and push further into the small bus and transit markets.
So DJI may have scaled back production on some products because sales are down due to a 25 percent tariff.Īdditionally, we also know that DJI is redesigning all their drones to include helicopter and airplane detectors so that they can be seen by air traffic control, other drone operators and other aircraft radar. and China are in the middle of a "trade war." We've already talked about how the ripple effect of this war is falling camera sales. So, what's going on? What's happening here? First off, it's important to keep in mind that the U.S. Third-party distributors like Amazon and others will have their own independent stocks available, and some of the models are available as refurbished units on DJI's own site. The only drones listed as available are the DJI Mavic Air Fly More Combo, DJI Mavic Pro Platinum, and the DJI Mavic Pro 2 with Smart Controller.Īdditionally, the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom, the DJI Inspire 2, and the Ryze Tello are also listed as available. DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 & DJI Goggles REĪll told, 17 products are listed as out of stock as of press time.DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 & DJI Goggles RE.DJI Spark Fly More Combo – Alpine White.DJI Spark Controller Combo – Alpine White.Here's a brief list of DJI Drones listed as out of stock on the company site: The holiday shopping season is almost around the corner, and it’s hard to imagine that DJI will not have any kind of exciting drone product on the shelves for people to buy.ĭrone enthusiast site DroneDJ follows DJI pretty closely, and after doing an exhaustive search of what products are in stock, they found that the majority of DJI UAVs were listed as out of stock. The large number of DJI drones currently listed as out of stock on the DJI website leave many guessing as to what DJI’s plans are. But what does it mean when most of the drones sold by DJI, including the Mavic 2 Pro and the Phantom 4 Pro, are listed out sold out? Is DJI about to reset the board? It's almost always the case that when a product is listed as "out of stock" by a manufacturer's website, that's usually an indication that the product is either poised to be discontinued, or replaced outright with the next generation. |
