![]() In this January 2007 file photo, former Vice President Al Gore acknowledges spectators in Japan in front of a poster of his documentary film (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara) An Inconvenient Truth ![]() ![]() In an age of affective polarization where Republicans and Democrats each increasingly dislike the other, it makes sense that Republicans may have taken an oppositional stance on climate change, at least partly, in response to signals from Democratic elites. When one side’s messages are clear and the other side’s are muddled, as was the case here, it’s plausible that Republican voters took their cues from Democrats. Contrary to conventional wisdom, only a small fraction of Republican messages on climate change explicitly denied the scientific consensus on climate change. Meanwhile, Republican messages have been fewer in number, and, until the Obama presidency, ambiguous in direction. Second, Democratic messages have been more common in news coverage, and, unsurprisingly, consistent in a pro-climate direction. As a result, the public has been exposed to a growing number of messages about climate change from party elites. First, politicians became increasingly common in coverage, politicizing the issue as it grew in importance. What we found is a nuanced story that sheds considerable light on why the public polarized on climate change. In our research, we examined the political signals that were present in the coverage of climate change in major, high circulation daily newspapers, like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today, as well network television channels ABC, CBS and NBC, and cable news channel Fox News. These signals are, more often than not, carried to them by the mass media. When uncertain about novel political issues, like climate change, they look for signals from political elites for guidance. These form critical components of their social identities. Voters, particularly in America, tend to harbour strong positive and negative attachments to political parties. This is of particular importance for our work. The commonly observed pattern is that public opinion tends to follow, rather than lead, debate among political elites. Our extraordinary former vice president invites us along on an inspirational journey across the globe that delivers the tools to heal our planet.We have studied in detail how the media covered the issue of climate change since the 1980s and how it may have played a role in polarizing the American public. What started then as a profound slide show lecture has become a gorgeously cinematic excursion. Renowned filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk have taken the baton from 2006 Academy Award-winner Davis Guggenheim. Cameras follow him behind the scenes-in moments private and public, funny and poignant-as he pursues the empowering notion that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion. Vice President Al Gore continues his tireless fight, traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy. A decade after An Inconvenient Truth brought climate change into the heart of popular culture comes the riveting and rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. I think it becomes like an easy out for an emotional appeal. What can I do? These characters that I built up for my readers for so long let's just rip readers' hearts apart by just killing them off. I think that's the third book because that's the last one and that's when everything kind of hits the fan there.Ĭharity 4:34 I think you can move a story forward without killing off a bunch of your main characters that you've come to love.īreea 4:41 I think sometimes it becomes an easy out like, oh gosh, I have to make an emotional appeal now. It just frustrates me.īreea 4:26 I know in Hunger Games. I can't remember which book it, if it was book two or three in Hunger Games, and I don't know which one it is in the Maze Runner but like they just start killing off big people. And that's the Hunger Games and the Maze Runner series. And so a couple of series came to mind when I thought of this. My biggest pet peeve is when they start killing off a lot of big characters in a book. I think it would be low.īreea 3:49 Probably we'd be like, oh, yep.Ĭharity 3:52 We don't have anything in common as readers.Ĭharity 3:56 Well, my first pet peeve that I wanted to share, and they all kind of have to do with just things that I read. ![]() I don't think we're friends on Goodreads.Ĭharity 3:46 But we should be and then we can see what our percentage would be. My favorite feature on Goodreads though, is where you can match up with your reader friends and see like what percentage you are alike. I might feel differently at the beginning of next year and whether or not I meet this goal, we'll see. And I was like okay, let's backtrack, because I got really ambitious and then the world turned on its head for a little bit.īreea 3:25 And then it was way too ambitious. And then like every year, or at least my goal every year is to like just add a little bit more. I have to be like, okay, I can manage that, 40. I set 121.īreea 3:02 See, I don't want it to be daunting. I like to really challenge myself and I set my highest goal yet. And the reason I set it kind of lower is so that when I go past it, I'll feel even more accomplished.Ĭharity 2:54 That is probably good strategy. And so this year, because I pitched so high last year, I'm giving myself 40. How many books do you set for yourself?īreea 2:36 I try to be realistic. And so I'm one book ahead and I'm like, yes, I've got a little bit of leeway there.Ĭharity 2:32 It feels like such an accomplishment. So it's like, you know, in a few days, a week or two, I'm gonna be way ahead as well.īreea 2:20 I do a lot of well, at least this year, I'm doing a lot of graphic novels, and manga series. So it's like, I'm in the middle of reading lots of books, though. And it does feel like, if you're a huge reader, it does feel like a lot of pressure to, like, keep up with it. And I looked at mine, I'm like five or six books behind. And she was like, I'm 19 books ahead on my Goodreads challenge. A coworker and I were having a conversation just this week. We don't need your judgment.Ĭharity 1:54 I totally feel you. I'm trying my best over here.Ĭharity 1:51 That's right, Goodreads. And I'm like, I don't need that attitude from you Goodreads. It's like, hey, you're five books behind schedule. And it was hard for me to go on Goodreads, just to look at other people's reviews or to add things to my to be read list because in the corner, in the left hand side corner, especially when you're on the computers instead of your phone. And it's like I've talked about in a previous episode. And so I'm like, oh, I've got to meet this by the end of the year. I love being able to scroll through what my friends are reading, what my coworkers are reading and put it on my to be read list. And you know, all the cool librarians are on Goodreads.īreea 1:01 I had to join it too. So I was never a big Goodreads person not until I actually started working for the library. But when Goodreads reminds me how far I am on my reading goal. And I think I've talked about this a little bit in previous episodes. Let's start off with the first pet peeve of mine. 0:25 So I am really looking forward to getting into this with you, Breea.īreea 0:30 Yeah, let's do it. I feel like this kind of is in line with our reader confessions episode.Ĭharity. On this episode, we're talking about reader pet peeves. On each episode you'll hear us talking about our favorite tween and teen books. I'm your host Charity.Ĭharity 0:07 We're youth librarians with the Springfield-Greene County Library District.

Hugh Hefner and a group of private investors bought the magazine back in early 2011, going full circle back to total control. “Just as this country is embracing change in the form of new leadership, I have decided that now is the time to make changes in my own life as well,†she said. She announced in December 2008 that she would be stepping down from leading the company, effective in January 2009, and said that the election of Barack Obama as the next President had inspired her to give more time to charitable work, and that the decision to step down was her own. Macauley also contributed all of the popular Ribald Classics series published between January 1978 and March 1984.Ĭhristie Hefner, daughter of the founder Hugh Hefner, joined Playboy in 1975 and became head of the company in 1988. Donleavy, as well as poetry by Yevgeny Yevtushenko. During this period the magazine published fiction by Saul Bellow, Sean O'Faolain, John Updike, James Dickey, John Cheever, Doris Lessing, Joyce Carol Oates, Vladimir Nabokov, Michael Crichton, John LeCarre, Irwin Shaw, Arthur Koestler, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Bernard Malamud, John Irving, Anne Sexton, Nadine Gordimer, Kurt Vonnegut and J. The stars, between zero and twelve, actually indicated the domestic or international advertising region for that printing.įrom 1966 to 1976 Robie Macauley was the Fiction Editor at Playboy. The legend stated that this was either a rating that Hefner gave to the Playmate according to how attractive she was, the number of times that Hefner had slept with her, or how good she was in bed. From 1955 to 1979 (except for a six month gap in 1976), the "P" in Playboy had stars printed in or around the letter. Hefner said he chose the rabbit for its "humorous sexual connotation," and because the image was "frisky and playful."Īn urban legend started about Hefner and the Playmate of the Month because of markings on the front covers of the magazine. A running joke in the magazine involves hiding the logo somewhere in the cover art or photograph. The Playboy logo, the stylized profile of a rabbit wearing a tuxedo bow tie, was originally designed by art designer Art Paul for the second issue to be used as an end note, but was adopted as the official logo, and has appeared ever since. The novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, was also serialized in the March, April, and May 1954 issues of Playboy magazine. The first centerfold was Marilyn Monroe, although the picture used originally was taken for a calendar rather than for Playboy. The first issue, in December 1953, was undated, as Hefner was unsure there would be a second. Sellers, whose mother had worked for the Chicago sales office of the short-lived Playboy Automobile Company, suggested "Playboy." Hefner and co-founder and executive vice-president Eldon Sellers met to seek a new name. Playboy's original title was to be Stag Party, but an unrelated outdoor magazine, Stag, contacted Hefner and informed him that they would protect their trademark if he were to launch his magazine with that name. The magazine generally reflects a liberal editorial stance. Playboy features monthly interviews of notable public figures, such as artists, architects, economists, composers, conductors, film directors, journalists, novelists, playwrights, religious figures, politicians, athletes and race car drivers.

But my 5 year old nephew liked it too as he would join my viewing sessions :) He & I loved his different Heisens suits and color variations! :p I Also liked that Whole meaning behind the Smile and The Thumbs up symbol, see I learned someone at the end of the series! :) The opening song and ending song are so addicting that it had me playing them both on repeat! It helped me like the series more as well associate it Godai Yuusuke aka Kuuga :) The other tracks as well are great! The plot and story was one that is not meant for children, it was for young adults, teens and adults since the dialogue and theme was one to deep for the kids to understand properly. I liked that the main characters did a good job giving life and substance to their characters and made me enjoy this drama that makes nostalgic in that I was a Teenager when this Series Aired :'( That one must not give up even though it looks like a losing battle, one must keep on trying to beat and over come evil. What I liked about Kamen Rider Kuuga is that it was a dark and was deep, to elaborate, I liked that this was dark in that the theme and stories were meant to make us all think about what the characters were going through, we could relate to them (the lessons), that the good guys don't always win and take a beating. I will try to keep it nice and short for everyone's sake and mine because I can go off in novel style. So bare with me if it's not up to par with those that are way more seasoned writers/reviewers. Rewatch Value 9.0 So This is my first official review for a Drama & The first for Kamen Rider Kuuga.

"I'd die for you" that's easy to say We have a list of people that we would take A bullet for them, a bullet for you A bullet for everybody in this room But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through See many bullets coming through Metaphorically, I'm the man But literally, I don't know what I'd do "I'd live for you" and that's hard to do Even harder to say, when you know it's not true Even harder to write, when you know that's a lie There were people back home who tried talking to you But then you ignore them still All these questions they're for real, like "Who would you live for?" "Who would you die for?" And "Would you ever kill?" Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh. I just wanna stay in the sun where I find I know its hard sometimes Pieces of peace in suns peace of mind I know its hard sometimes. ![]() Yeah, I think about the end just way too much But it's fun to fantasize On my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was But it's fun to fantasize.

These are designed to replicate the movement of an arcade stick, and they work well for fighting games or retro favorites. The Victrix Gambit also comes with a pair of octagonal joystick gates. These certainly get the job done, but the d-pad replacement for the NES cross is less convincing. Spending a few sessions with the Gambit's concave plastic diamond made it clear that it's no match for the industry standard. There's a tall stick and a domed option at normal height, both preferred options to replace the right stick in situations where precise aiming is key. The Victrix Gambit comes with fewer stick options than the Elite controller. While Victrix gives the option for just two paddles, the default four perfectly mirrors the face buttons and provides another option for advanced maneuvering without leaving the thumbstick. Reaching for the map in an open-world game feels much more convenient on the Gambit thanks to this change, while the rest of the buttons also feel more accessible with this design, partially due to the paddles placed comfortably within the Gambit's back grip. Most noticeable are the gigantic Menu, View, and Share buttons strategically placed around the Xbox jewel and near the bumpers. The best change comes in the subtle tweaks Victrix makes to the default layout for all Xbox controllers. Thankfully, Victrix has provided several other compelling reasons for the Gambit that broadens its potential demographics. Players at the highest level of competition will definitely want to consider the Gambit for this speed boost, but it's not a reason to shell out for someone who plays games more casually. Playing with the Gambit side by side with one of Microsoft's controllers makes it clear that there is an improvement, but that level of precise split-second accuracy isn't going to be a priority for everyone. In addition to the under the hood processing, the Gambit features buttons and sticks that wouldn't look out of place on a fight stick. Related: Xbox's Quick Resume May Be The Coolest Part About New-Gen Consoles While it's not as convenient as wireless, the breakaway wire is a great safety feature that also allows for seamless switching between console and PC play. The Gambit will also be connected to each player's Xbox, as it's a wired controller by design, with a breakaway USB that recalls the original Xbox dongle setup. To highlight that fact, Victrix bundles a Dolby Atmos subscription with every Gambit, letting players take full advantage of their headset of choice as long as it's connected to their new gamepad. The Dual Core technology lets the controller process quick input and headset audio simultaneously. The core feature of the Gambit controller is right in the name. Known for their top-of-the-line Victrix fight sticks, the Victrix Gambit offers everything players expect when upgrading from a standard controller alongside technology that reportedly responds faster than any pad available for the system. ![]() Just under a year into the lifespan of the Xbox Series X, PDP has released an impressive alternative to Microsoft's Elite Controller. |
