My friend Cindy over at Big Mama Hollers is going through a lot of angst because of some very negative comments left on her blog. What Hollywood never captures is that to be a real Southern Lady has nothing whatsoever to do with money or class or race. Īlso, Steel Magnolias and Gone With the Wind offer distorted versions of what it means to be Southern. ![]() I have decided not to go and see August Osage County because that matriarch, portrayed by Meryl Streep is supposed to be Southern, and she's a foul-mouthed pill-popping Satanic version of a Big Mama. Sometimes I just despair at ever seeing southern women portrayed fairly. There is so much caricature out of Hollywood. There are so many negative things in the media about us. In a deeper sense, Big Mama implies everything that - to me at least - is good about the South. The first time she met my kids she hugged them. She adored all children, and they knew it instantly. I so wish that before she passed away a few years ago I could've imparted to my children some of the love, awe, and respect that I felt for my aunt. ![]() My aunt Myrtle asked her grandchildren to call her Big Mama. ![]() You are a bible-reading, Sunday-School-going, fried-chicken cooking Epitome of Motherhood. In the South, to be called Big Mama means - at least in my mind - that you are seeing someone who is all about love, and all about being a fierce tiger mama. My best friend Joanne's grandmother was "Big Mama." She wasn't really big, actually. When I was a child, the designation "Big Mama" was one of great respect and affection.

![]() Emulation might work, but anyone’s guess how efficient that will be. VMWare Workstation and Fusion will cross license. If you buy F11 after June 15, you will get a free upgrade. ![]() How does it compare to Parallels 16? How does it compare to Parallels Mcr Aug 24 The future of Fusion: Fusion 12 is coming already available as Technology Preview, it is based on very different design and is only for Catalina or Big Sur due to Apple design changes in macOS.į11 will be the last release to support Mojave. Odysseus Sep 17 So Fusion 12 is now free for personal use. I do see myself coming back to VMWare though, once all issues are ironed out. Parallels does, so I switched, and it is performing well. Miner Nov 23 I liked it a lot, found the upgrade cycle more friendly for my wallet, but unfortunately at the moment it does no longer work with the Boot Camp partition in Big Sur. Original and best, runs linux flawlessley and fast. I think all that would be needed is a special bootloader to trick Windows ARM into thinking it is a Surface Pro or something.

So, if you need Catalina or older, stay on I have a question: is there an app to help use Mac apps on Windows computers? The new version of Fusion now requires Big Sur, or later.

(The last feature is based on entering your home address, and in our testing we could get a third of a mile away before receiving the alert, which isn’t super handy.) Aside from separation notifications, Apple doesn’t provide any of these features with an AirTag. On the software side, it offers a 30-day location history, unlimited sharing of your Tile trackers’ locations, and smart alerts that let you know when you’ve left home without any of your Tiles. The service includes free battery replacements shipped to you each year (for the Tile Mate and the Tile Pro), an extended warranty (from one year to three), and SMS-based support. Tile offers Tile Premium, an optional, $3-per-month (or $30-per-year) subscription plan that covers as many Tiles as you own. If they do so, that would expand Tile’s crowd-finding network by up to 10x. In fall 2022, Tile opened its network up to parent company Life360’s 42 million smartphone users, who can choose to opt in to help Tile members find their trackers. According to the company’s figures, however, “millions of items” are found daily, and of those marked as lost, Tile says 90% are found. So the total number of Tile units that make up its crowd-finding network is a tiny fraction of Apple’s. That doesn’t mean all of them are currently active, and a big portion likely aren’t early Tile trackers didn’t have replaceable batteries, which meant the entire device had to be replaced annually. Tile tells us it has sold more than 50 million trackers. If your phone is no longer at that location-or if you’re worried that it won’t be-you can mark the item as lost, which invokes Tile’s crowd-finding feature. If your Tile is out of Bluetooth range, you can view a map displaying its location the last time your phone made contact with it. An app that is easy to navigate and updates location information quickly is important too. We also prefer trackers that can trigger an alarm on your phone. Other features: A replaceable battery isn’t absolutely required, but it’s a big plus.Despite having little space for a speaker, some of these can get quite loud. Volume: If you’re near your tracker but can’t hear it, that’s no good.Range: The longer the range, the farther you can be from the tracker and still be able to find your lost item.Size: A tracker that’s too obtrusive to carry around with you or to attach to the thing you want to track is useless.Trackers use a combination of physical speakers and digital apps to help you locate your belongings. Precision finding: Once you know the general location of your lost tracker, narrowing down exactly where it’s hiding is the key to finding it.The more people who use a platform, the better your chances of recovering your lost stuff. ![]() Network size: Most Bluetooth trackers can utilize other phones that have the tracker’s app installed to silently and privately search for your lost objects.

This knowledge comes from decades of innovative experiments and theories. Our understanding of the genesis and evolution of the universe is one of the great achievements of 20th-century science. Fifteen billion years from now stars like our sun will be relatively rare, making the universe a far less hospitable place for observers like us. Over time the formation of stars has consumed the supply of gas in galaxies, and hence the population of stars is waning. Our solar system is relatively young: it formed five billion years ago, when the universe was two thirds its present size. When the universe was half its present size, nuclear reactions in stars had produced most of the heavy elements from which terrestrial planets were made. By the time the universe had expanded to one fifth its present size, the stars had formed groups recognizable as young galaxies. The neutral atoms then began to coalesce into gas clouds, which later evolved into stars. Neutral atoms appeared in abundance only after the expansion had continued for 300,000 years and the universe was 1,000 times smaller than it is now. Conditions were still too hot, however, for atomic nuclei to capture electrons. All of this occurred within the first minute of the expansion. After the universe had grown by another factor of 1,000, protons and neutrons combined to form atomic nuclei, including most of the helium and deuterium present today. When the universe had expanded an additional 1,000 times, all the matter we can measure filled a region the size of the solar system.Īt that time, the free quarks became confined in neutrons and protons. ![]() By the time the temperature had dropped to 100 million times that of the sun’s core, the forces of nature assumed their present properties, and the elementary particles known as quarks roamed freely in a sea of energy. He describes these ideas in this article, which he co-wrote for Scientific American in 1994.Īt a particular instant roughly 15 billion years ago, all the matter and energy we can observe, concentrated in a region smaller than a dime, began to expand and cool at an incredibly rapid rate.

This astronomical event will last for roughly an hour and a half and those hoping to catch a glimpse of it won’t have to get up at odd hours either. WHEN CAN YOU SEE THE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE? “You don’t often see the moon with this red colour on it, so it's definitely worth checking out.” Those who choose to take in the astronomical event will have the chance to see the “blood moon”, as Rogerson explained the Earth’s shadow against the moon will turn into a “deep red, almost purpley colour.” Jesse Rogerson, astrophysicist and assistant professor at York University, explained to CTV News Toronto while lunar eclipses will still be visible elsewhere on the planet, the next total eclipse will not be visible in Ontario until 2025. Ontarians might want to get up an hour earlier before work Tuesday morning if they want to catch a glimpse of the last total lunar eclipse for the next three years.ĭr. ![]() In December, the company said it would take down claims about Covid-19 vaccines that have been debunked by public health officials, such as baseless conspiracy theories that they contain microchips.
