Her whereabouts and her well-being are currently unknown, although she is believed to have been returned to the UAE, to her billionaire Sheikh father who she has publicly described as ‘evil’ and ‘a killer’. Latifa attempted to escape Dubai in the company of an ex spy and a friend but their yacht was attacked on 5 March 2018 and there has been no communication with the Princess since. She also alleged she had been drugged by medical staff to stop her ‘rebelling or causing trouble.’ The Princess described living subject to a curfew, not being allowed to drive or go out alone. During her time in prison she alleges she was regularly beaten and tortured, all at the behest of her billionaire father. Latifa claims that she was imprisoned for helping her sister Shamsa following her attempt in 2001 to escape the Royal Family, and for trying to leave the UAE herself in 2002.

It should be noted that this coolant is formulated 50-50 and you can mix it with water in a ratio of 1: 1. It is generally recommended that you use Toyota Red in older vehicles. This is mainly due to the fact that older Toyotas usually have non-aluminum radiators and Pink is not formulated with the inhibitors necessary to protect them. The red Toyota coolant is an Inorganic Acid Technology coolant mainly used in older generation Toyota engines. Especially for all Toyota engines (freeze-ups to 37 C) and meet all TOYOTA warranty requirements. The Red Long Life coolant had molybate and a triazole to protect the metals (copper, etc.) in the older radiators.

This really comes down to the model and year of your car. If you have a modern Toyota with an aluminum radiator, Pink is probably the coolant you want to go for. ![]() However, if you do not mind changing the coolant frequently, Toyota Red can be used on newer cars if you want to save a few bucks (remember it needs to be mixed with water).įor older cars, it is recommended that you use Toyota Red and not Pink as per the advice above.

Also, if the battery drains during a power outage, you can’t use the light anymore unless you have an independent power source to recharge (or additional 18650 batteries). First, once the battery is drained, it takes time to fully charge again (in this case roughly three hours), so bringing a rechargeable flashlight back to life isn’t as quick as simply swapping out AA batteries. The downsides of the TC15 V3 are universal across rechargeable flashlights. The TC15 V3 typically costs between $50 and $60, at the lower end of rechargeable lights. The included USB charging cord plugs directly into the flashlight, unlike on the majority of rechargeable flashlights, where you have to remove the 18650 battery for charging. It has a one-button interface that allows for instant access to both the brightest and dimmest settings. The TC15 V3 is just barely bigger than the Archer 2A V3, but at the high setting it’s twice as bright with a similar run time. We have also looked at rechargeable flashlights, and not surprisingly, the ThruNite TC15 V3 USB rechargeable flashlight hits the same balance as the Archer 2A V3, offering high-end features at an entry-level price. Its two-AA-powered beam pattern produces such good overall visibility that, even after trying all the other lights, we reached for this flashlight first when we headed into the woods. ![]() The Archer 2A V3 also boasts a number of other features found on more-expensive lights: It doesn’t roll on a flat surface, it stands upright on its rear end, it can survive a 1-meter drop or full immersion in water-try that, smartphones-and it has a memory function as well as a momentary-on feature that turns the light on and off with a half-press of the rear button. ![]() ![]() The blinding strobe mode is useful in an emergency-but the Archer 2A V3’s design makes it easy to avoid activating the strobe during regular use, an advantage over most competitors. Like many of the best flashlights, this light has a two-button interface that lets you easily toggle through the brightness levels one-handed. The ThruNite Archer 2A V3 has the widest range of brightness settings of any AA-battery-powered light we tested, including a very dim mode that allowed us to read a map (without destroying our night vision) and a bright setting that illuminated trees 500 feet away. ![]() ![]() ![]() Liz Cheney (R-WY), and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), whom she said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "had put on this witch hunt committee that's nothing but a sham."

Its leading figures will eventually depart from life leaving wealthy heirs but no record of ever having helped the people they supposedly stand for. The proposition is absurd not only because the party is in hock to a movement built on racial hate but also because the same movement has never evinced any interest in actually helping “ordinary Americans”. This, the true driving force of Trumpism, makes a mockery of conservatives who pretend that the Republican party can become a “ multiethnic, multiracial, working-class party”. It’s also how they keep themselves rich and – through blocking any attempt to actually help working people – ensure the poor stay poor. It is through the stoking of hatred and division that Maga elites keep the punters engaged and happy to open their wallets. The border wall has endured as the ultimate symbol of Trumpism because the soul of his movement is racism and exclusion, not charity and assistance. It’s no coincidence that when Bannon left office, he dedicated himself to building the wall rather than building working-class communities. That they then have actually done little to help even white workers should not obscure the fact that they have also poured hatred and vitriol on the immigrants and people of color who do so much of America’s actual work.Īll of which brings us neatly back to Bannon and the wall. They have made a mythic folk hero out of the white male worker, promising to return the country to an era like the 1950s, in which such people reigned supreme. Theirs is an agenda not for the racially diverse working and middle classes that actually exist in America, but for a narrow white subset of it. For they have also tried to exclude a large part of the population from even being considered as “ordinary Americans” at all. But for Trump and the Maga movement it’s posturing for their nationalist base, not the real effect on real people, which matters.īut Trump and Bannon have done something even more pernicious than this. When he did intervene – for instance by launching a trade war with China – it was in ways which harmed manufacturers and cost American jobs. But just as the Biden administration is largely powerless to fight inflation right now, this economic performance had precious little to do with Trump. In office, Trump continued to benefit from the economic recovery which had begun under Barack Obama, allowing him to tout high employment and wage levels. ![]() And every year the administration proposed steep cuts to the social programs used by real ordinary Americans, including a 2021 budget which would have cut $1.2tn from Medicaid, food stamps and elsewhere. His one significant legislative achievement before the coronavirus pandemic was a 2017 tax bill which forced lower-income groups to pay more and allowed higher income groups to pay less. But as soon as he got into office, he governed as a plutocrat. He promised to bring jobs back from overseas and help Americans get over their economic anxiety. Far from standing up for the interests of “ordinary Americans”, Maga exists to funnel money, power and prestige to a small elite while not lifting a finger to improve the lives of anyone else.ĭuring his first presidential campaign in 2016, Trump – with Bannon at his side – tried to present himself as a champion of the downtrodden. But it also stands as a metaphor for the movement as a whole. This affair – in which two people have already pleaded guilty – is a very direct example of a prominent figure in the Maga movement lining their pockets with the money of unsuspecting marks. And who as chairman of the board allegedly took the greatest sum of all? None other than Steve Bannon. Although donors to the group were assured that 100% of their money would be used on construction, large sums were siphoned into the pockets of those running the group. This was driven home once again on Thursday, when Bannon surrendered himself to New York prosecutors to face charges of defrauding donors to We Build the Wall, a non-profit organization that raised over $25m to build a wall to keep immigrants from crossing America’s southern border. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the fundamental parts of color theory is the color wheel. Before understanding how to mix and use secondary colors, it is useful to understand some basic color theory.Ĭolor theory is a set of guidelines that all artists use to mix colors as well as balance and contrast them in a way that is not dull or overwhelming. Knowing how to create these colors can save you a lot of time and money because you do not need to buy the correct hue or spend hours searching for it every time you paint. Reminiscent of flames, this color is a mix of passion and positivity and gives you feelings of happiness and youthfulness. Orange is the warmest and most vibrant of the traditional secondary colors. Violet, therefore, creates an energetic and mindful mood. Violet has been historically connected to nobility, royalty, and opulence, giving it feelings of grandeur, wisdom, as well as a little bit of magic and mystery. This is why greens tend to make you feel calmer and more relaxed. Green is most often associated with nature, reminding us of verdant fields and thick forests, but also symbolizes new beginnings and growth. These colors feature prominently in nature from flower beds to bird plumes. Traditionally, there are three secondary colors which are the colors green, violet, and orange. The first thing that we will explore is a secondary colors definition as well as some of their meanings. 5.2 What Colors Go With Secondary Colors?.5.1 What Is a Good Secondary Colors Definition?. ![]()

Helen Lee is an independent filmmaker based in Toronto and Seoul whose narrative and experimental films explore intersectionalities of place, identity and sexuality. Brimming with surreal, breathtaking, elegiac imagery, this sensuously rendered tale of loss, love and longing resonates long after its shocking conclusion. Originally shot on digital video, the film captures the grit and garishness of an alien urban landscape while plumbing the melancholy dream space where the character retreats even as she searches for her very life. Though her path to self-destruction and ultimate self-revelation ironically and tragically mirrors that of her imagined biological mother, the past remains elusive to her, the secret intact. army camp town and the bustling flower markets of Seoul. SUBROSA tracks the unnamed heroine from a sterile adoption agency office to seedy bars and motel rooms on neon strips, then to a stark U.S. This exquisitely crafted drama probes the idealized, often false constructions of cultural and maternal identities wrought by the adoptee's return. SUBROSA traces a young woman's journey to Korea, the land of her birth, to find the mother she's never known. ![]() ![]()

Jaco remarked that he was out to “make this non-instrument an instrument” (Mission accomplished, Jaco). Ira refused at first, telling Jaco that he didn’t like bass guitar. On Portrait of Jaco: the Early Years, legendary trumpet player Ira Sullivan shared the story of how Jaco Pastorius wanted to join Ira’s band. There were plenty of bassists who wouldn’t take the bass guitar seriously early on, and plenty of band leaders who didn’t either. While the bass guitar has grown in popularity (and string count), it didn’t start out that way. In fact, there are plenty of bassists older than the oldest Fender bass still playing today. That’s not a long time ago as instruments go. Leo Fender didn’t invent the electric bass, but he’s the one who made it popular, starting in the 1950’s. “Why doesn’t he just switch to guitar and get on with it?”Īnd our favorite: “I thought this was ‘All Bass, No Treble’!”įor those of us who play the bass guitar, our instrument is incredibly young. We hear plenty of responses, and while they’re not all “that’s not bass!”, they’re pretty similar: Feedback for these bassists and their brand of music is usually mostly positive, but it is guaranteed to be mixed. In the last week alone, we’ve featured Zander Zon‘s all-bass cover of Metallica’s “The Unforgiven”, “new school” bassist Simon Fitzpatrick, and a video by Nick Mason performing his arrangement of “ You’ve Got a Friend in Me” for solo bass.
