Camus’ take on Sisyphus’ situation was unique and changed the whole view of the story for me. Camus envisioned him smiling while pushing the boulder and embracing his situation without thinking of the past or agonizing over future. The struggle itself toward heights is enough to fill a man’s heartĪlbert Camus imagined Sisyphus – condemned to roll a rock up a mountain, only to have it roll back down every time he reaches the top- happy. This love for a challenge must be what accompanied Sisyphus to continue his eternity of punishment.Įach mineral flake of that night filled mountain While your body teeters on the edge of complete exhaustion, straining to continue, I feel the most alive. I find that just barely being able to find the will to take the next step, and then suddenly finding yourself unable to resist taking another, is among the most unique and surreal experiences a person can have. I find my own form of strength to continue. ![]() Through my life and circumstances I have learned that like in the thrill of running a race, life is a series of struggles: your lungs clamoring for oxygen, heart tirelessly pumping blood, and muscles struggling to keep up the pace, but I embrace the struggle. ![]() My life and circumstances have given me the life skills and taught me the lessons,that in turn, have helped shape me into the driven and passionate student I am today. ![]() But, I was also born with everything: a mother that loved me, people who encouraged me, and the conviction to continue on past my obstacles. I have not prepared for life or even college in the most traditional manner: I didn’t always have a place to call home, I didn’t have happily married parents, I didn’t have a town that I could grow up in rather I lived in and out of different homes, I was raised by a single mother, and moved to a new school every year (sometimes more).

Hemsworth’s future in the MCU remains unclear for the time being. He has additionally been known to be explicitly kind to fans online, thanking them early last year for their support of Thor’s Marvel Cinematic Universe journey. Thor co-star Natalie Portman described him as “ genuinely kind” from the start when being interviewed about Thor: Love and Thunder. Hemsworth has been cited by co-stars to be an immensely warm person on top of his talent. Hemsworth’s endorsement of his “lookalike” is a sweet nod from the actor, but not uncharacteristic for him. Driven by fear, Jessica Cruz can reach her full potential when she conquers it as a Yellow Lantern. As a Yellow Lantern, she could change the perception of the Corps and finally conquer her anxieties. She used fear like a beacon and united those who would otherwise be at odds. When she unites the refugee ship in Green Lantern (2021) Annual #1 it saves them from an untimely demise and showed her how much she could do.Īs a Green Lantern, Jessica Cruz did a lot for the Universe and saved many different people and planets, but as a Yellow Lantern, she could do more. She inspires empathy from it and uses fear like a beacon to find the people who need help. The ring shows her the fear of others, and instead of shrinking away, Jessica embraces it. Being a Yellow Lantern pushed Jessica to face her fears and conquer them, and soon she admits that her nightmares no longer scare her, and instead they comfort her. Her ability to help people was not hindered by fear but helped by fear because what better to motivate than a fear of something even greater than the threat at hand. Jessica’s fears and anxiety are her driving force, but wearing the Sinestro Corp’s ring finally showed her that. It didn’t have to be a bad thing but could become the motivation she and others needed. With Sinestro’s help, she realized that fear was just another tool she could use to push people to help themselves and others. In Green Lantern (2021) Annual #1 (by Ryan Cady, Sami Basri, Tom Derenick, and Rob Leigh), Cruz stumbled across a refugee ship in need and decided to finally use her ring to help people rather than just a ride home. At first reluctant, Jessica refused to use the Yellow Lantern’s ring as anything other than a ride home. Fear may have become her weakness, but it could also be used as her strength. So when the yellow ring went to her in Future State: Green Lantern (by Geoffrey Thorne, Tom Raney, and Michael Atiyeh), she was more than surprised at the outcome. Her fear held her back, and even though she remained a Green Lantern, there was always going to be anxiety. Jessica thought she was unworthy because she couldn’t “overcome fear on a daily basis,” but despite that, pushed herself to continue. When Jessica was reintroduced in Green Lanterns: Rebirth (by Geoff Johns, Sam Humphries, Ed Benes, and Ethan Van Sciver), she struggled with her belief in herself. Percent Increments to Use = 100% / (Discrete images in your sprite – 1) This formula assumes each image in the sprite is the same size, and that each image is the same size as the element (i.e.: fits it exactly). So let’s break this down into a formula I came up with. The best way I can explain it in words is this: the distance between 0% and 100% for your background position is the distance between when the left edge of your background image is touching the left edge of your element, and when the right edge of your background image is touching the right edge of your element. This is actually quite complicated and not at all intuitive. Actually USING this positioning system can be a little confusing, so let me break it down for you. The only thing we need to change is the background position! The secret is to place the background image using only percents. Now it’s time to set everything up for the hover state. So we set background-size: 200%, since we need it to be twice as large as the space we have assigned for it, since we only want the first half of the image to fit in our div. We want the first half of the image only to fit. If we were to leave the setting at background-size: 100%, we would end up with the image fitting completely within the div and repeating itself once underneath. On the left 500px we have the first image, on the right 500px we have the rollover image. In our case, let’s say our image is 1000px wide and 500px tall. If we want it to be smaller and have to repeat, we go smaller. If we want the image to be larger than what actually fits in the container, we go bigger. ![]() It does not STRETCH the image in both directions, it assumes that the image fits perfectly WIDTH-wise into our container, and then calls that 100%. Now here’s what’s really interesting about the background-size property. (And don't forget: Bookends make a great gift for any book lover, too. When you're ready to shop, these unique finds in cool finishes like wood, metal, and resin are the best options out there. So no matter what room you're putting the finishing touches on-the home office, nursery, or even kitchen-don't forget to consider the finer decorative details, like bookends. And when that ever-expanding collection of romance novels gets too big for the succulent or vase you have propping them up? Well, you're asking for a broken objet and a big mess. Not to mention, the right bookends are supremely functional, since your beloved book club picks can't very well stand up on their own. (The gorgeous Instagram-ready picture of your bookshelf, that is. And then there are the smaller, seemingly insignificant items that you seem to gloss over, like, well, bookends for instance.īut when you look at the overall picture, these smaller, humbler items can make a surprisingly big difference, pulling the whole aesthetic together and instantly upping your shelfie game. I love Pottery Barn products but not necessarily the price tags.There are some home design purchases you agonize over-the right rug for your main living room, the perfect everyday dinnerware, or the comfiest arm chair for your favorite reading nook. I personally like the shiny silver better but if you prefer that Matte finish, just grab a can of silver spray paint and you should have something really close to what they have. ![]() You could always lay the books flat on a dresser and then put one of these birds on top as a paperweight. bookends Pottery Barn Kids CRIBS & BEDS STARTING AT 499 Shop Kid & Baby Furniture > AUTUMN SAVINGS EVENT UP TO 60 OFF Save on 100s of Items > Search results for bookends (3 results) Shipping or Store Pickup Product Type Department Color Gender Sort & Filters Antique Elephant Book Ends 49 See More Like This Skye Sleeping Baby Bundle 88. I think these look almost the same and if you grab a Michael’s coupon- well you have a great deal! I didn’t test the weight on these so they might not be sturdy enough for bookends but I do think they would be a really pretty little display item. I spotted some that are very close to this look at Michael’s for just $3.99! We polish these gemstones to the highest sheen to showcase their one-of-a-kind designs. Pottery Barn Kids has these lovely little silver birds that are $29 for a set. Used as amulets in ancient times, natural agate is prized for its extraordinary stripes of vivid colour. You could also just do one of them to use as a little display piece on shelving units. I have found these to be pretty sturdy and they will hold a few paperback books. If you don’t have any rocks on hand, you can grab a little pack of rocks or marbles for just $1 at the Dollar Store while you are there. That makes them sturdy enough to hold some weight. Then I just taped over the hole to keep the rocks inside. Once they were spray painted, I took little rocks I had left over ( from that boot tray project awhile back) and filled the hole. I had silver I wanted to use but any color would be ok. We marched home and I just used a can of spray paint to paint them. ![]() So I grabbed two of them for you guessed it- $1 each. The important part is that they have little holes at the bottom and they were hollow inside. These are not so very attractive owl things from the Dollar Store. I wound up making little bookends that cost $2.00 plus a little spray paint so not too shabby. So I decided to try and figure something out on my own. I have been eyeballing these little owl bookends from Pottery Barn Kids but to be honest, I am too cheap to shell out $30 for bookends. She just started Kindergarten and we are reading chapter books now so I wanted a special place to keep those books readily available. We are redoing my little girl’s bedroom and I was looking around for a whimsical bookend for a few things on her dresser. I thought I would mention this little project I did recently. ![]() The plunger is slidable between a locking position wherein the locking member is engaged within the female receiver, and an unlocking position wherein the locking member is removed from engagement within the female receiver.Ī telescopically translatable hollow second housing such as a collar, tube or the like is telescopically mounted to the first housing for telescopic sliding relative to the first housing. The plunger may be mounted to the locking member, for example, rigidly or by means of a mechanical linkage or the like, for pulling the locking member from registration with the female receiver against the return biasing force of the resilient actuator, such as a spring, when the plunger is manually translated relative to the first housing by a user pulling on the plunger. The locking member may be mounted to a plunger slidably mounted to the housing. In one embodiment, not intended to be limiting, the locking member is resiliently urged by a resilient actuator into locking registration with the female receiver in the cover. The cover is releasably lockable onto the first housing by means of a male locking member on the housing releasably engaging a cooperating female receiver such as a groove, channel, aperture, detent or the like in the cover. ![]() The first housing may be mounted to the door so as to journal a deadbolt actuator knob protruding from the door through the first opening into the central cavity so as to fully contain the knob within the first housing.Ī cover is provided which is slidably mountable into snug mating engagement with the first housing so as to close the second opening. ![]() The first and second openings open into the central cavity. The perimeter wall and the base end define a central cavity. The second end of the perimeter wall has a second opening or aperture in it. The base end of the perimeter wall has a first opening or aperture in it. The perimeter wall has a base end on one end of the wall and an opposite second end on an opposite end of the wall. The housing has a rigid continuous perimeter wall. In summary the deadbolt cover of the present invention includes a first or deadbolt knob housing mountable to a door so as to enclose a deadbolt knob. The problem in the prior art is that many residential doors have glass inserts located near to the deadbolt so that a burglar only has to break the glass and reach inside the door to unlock the deadbolt. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONĬonventional deadbolt actuators for residential use when installed on a door have a knob on the inside of the door which may be manually turned so as to lock and unlock the deadbolt. This invention relates to the field of devices for door locks, which devices are intended to inhibit unwanted access to the lock actuator mechanism, and in particular to removable covers mountable over lock actuators.

This is a dish that my mom loves and is the first thing she looks for when we go out to a Dim Sum restaurant. This is a delicious dish but moderation might be required if you’re sticking to your fitness goals. Make sure you order your greens when you go out to your favorite Dim Sum joint and pair this with one of the higher protein meals you can find. It’s essentially 80 percent rice roll and 20 percent shrimp so you don’t really get too much protein in this dish. The problem with this dish, nutritionally, is that, once again, there is a lack of protein with higher amounts of carbs. ![]() How about we take a look at the calories and what goes inside a typical Steamed Shrimp Rice Roll.įor every 1 gram of fat, there are 12 grams of carbs and 2 grams of protein. It hold a special place in my heart through all the memories of friends and family I have eaten Dim Sum with. I remember as a child, this was the very first thing I’ve ever eaten at a Dim Sum restaurant when my parents took me. If you’ve had this dish before, then you know how delicious it can be and how easy it is to overeat this dish. It’s a chewy rice paper that surrounds pieces of steamed shrimp that is covered in a sweet and savory soy sauce. In terms of flavor, the Steamed Shrimp Rice Roll has to be one of my favorite dishes in all of Dim Sum cuisine. Protein is the key to dieting and a dish like Vegetable Dumplings could definitely use some. Our tip here is to eat the dumplings and pair it with either a veggie dish or a higher protein dish like the ones listed in our number 1 or number 2 spot. Not bad compared to the other fatty options that you can find in a typical Dim Sum dish. Let’s take a look at it’s nutrition facts and see what goes inside a typical Vegetable Dumpling.įor every 5 grams of fat, there are 21 grams of carbs and 2 grams of protein. ![]() Vegetable dumplings usually contain a lot of greens such as spinach, cabbage, and green onions so it’s a safer bet than eating a typical pork or beef dumpling which can be loaded with fats. ![]() What’s great about these dumplings is that they are not steamed which reduces the calories compared to your typical pan fried or deep fried dumplings. Vegetable dumplings are a great way to eat some Dim Sum without too much guilt as it’s essentially just vegetables wrapped in a flour dough.

However, by looking into the nutrition labels of the certain foods you can find, it is totally possible to eat Dim Sum while staying healthy. Many of the dishes consist mainly of carbs and fats so it can be hard to fit into a balanced diet. My answer is to always find the lowest carb and highest protein options since it’s very easy to overeat on the carbs when you’re at a typical Dim Sum joint.ĭim Sum is a style of traditional Cantonese cuisine that focuses on a variety of dishes such as dumplings, rice noodles, meats, and stir fried vegetables.
