![]() I started this book at lunch one day, and found that Jacob had won me over before I’d finished my sandwich. (Why work so hard to shut others out? Why not make oneself useful for a change?) But Jacob is just the kind of junior criminal-smart, devilishly perceptive, secretly sentimental-with whom I really can identify. I confess that I am something of a goody-two-shoes myself, and in the past I’ve had little patience for all that sullen self-pity, pent-up anger, and nascent sexual pining. “The Patterns of Paper Monsters” presents an interesting challenge to grown-up, strait-laced readers who tend to avoid books about troubled youths. “He was staring at me with epic nostalgia, like my face was a paved-over rain forest,” Jacob says of Jim, an adult volunteer assigned to mentor him. But equally fun to read are the moments when Jacob finds himself feeling vulnerable-usually when someone else meets his coolness with a display of raw emotion. Rathbone writes Jacob some great bits of irreverent commentary: “Family day is when the disparate elements of our broken families collect here at the JDC in a veritable Who’s Who of the Braddock County welfare set,” he quips when his mother comes to visit. He finds Andrea “really pretty, like babysitter pretty.” A date with a previous girlfriend was like “rolling down the side of a hot grassy hill on a pretty good day.” And happiness? “It’s like trying to pee when you’re really high-sometimes it seems impossible but it’s not like I don’t know how.” It’s an appealingly understated teen-age love story, and Jacob’s offbeat descriptions are charming. pictures of monsters in cleverly designed paper pockets in the book. The budding romance between Jacob and Andrea is believably stilted and messy it moves in fits and starts, with Jacob’s motives alternating between a deep need for companionship and the simple desire for sex. A hands-on monster collage studio that will delight and inspire, Paper Monsters. “I’m usually pretty good at sculpting conversations for personal effect kind of veering them toward some self-deprecating exchange that conveys how great and wounded or smart I am,” Jacob reflects, after an exchange with Andrea-a fellow inmate-renders him momentarily speechless. The best thing about Jacob is that he is remarkably self-aware: even as he’s feeling sorry for himself or slyly manipulating some well-meaning adult tasked with helping him, he is frank about what he is up to. He may be cut from the same cloth as Holden Caulfield, but he’s a good bit funnier and a lot less mopey than the angsty adolescent male narrators from many coming-of-age books that have followed “Catcher in the Rye.” Rathbone’s novel is divided into bite-sized episodes-some darkly humorous scenes from inside the detention center, others poignant memories-all unflinchingly described and analyzed by Jacob himself. Stein, Daenyrex The Dragon, Mujo Mushi, Arachnidia The Queen, Ursüla Lurker-Snapper, Brud The Cyclops, Fuzz Himalayan Terror Bat, Pffzlttgh?, Hellsquid Aquaped, The Bride Mrs.Everything is sad and pointless? It’s a dire conclusion for such a young person to reach, but it’s not hard to see how he got to that point: after a childhood filled with poverty, drugs, and a series of abusive father figures, Jacob has landed in a juvenile detention center following a robbery attempt gone awry.

New York Stock Exchange – Market Structure The NYSE is, and will continue, to be a backbone of the world's financial markets for decades to come. There are a number of other stock markets in the US, but the NYSE is seen as the the tried-and-true securities exchange. The NYSE is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). ![]() The NYSE is owned by the Intercontinental Exchange, a company that operates 11 other exchanges and 6 clearing houses. Located on Wall Street, in New York City, the NYSE lists some 2,300 companies and averages over $200 billion in daily trading value as of 2020. The New York Stock Exchange is the largest stock exchange in the world. Today, the NYSE is operated by the Intercontinental Exchange. Over the subsequent years there have been numerous mergers and acquisitions involving the NYSE and its subsidiaries. Through this deal, the NYSE became a for-profit, publicly traded company.

All of this is a ton of fun, but it’s nothing compared to the entry’s big centerpiece-a sequence that’s a true gift for the fans that have been sticking around for 200 episodes-as Roger’s most memorable personae are run through with laser-like precision.Ĩ. “The Two Hundred” balances equal parts fun and mystery with the situation that it presents, with it all acting as a welcome detour from the usual playground that the series operates in. Very wisely, “The Two Hundred” takes a page out of fan-favorite, “Rapture’s Delight” and transports the show’s setting to a desolate wasteland, draping everything in nuclear holocaust chic. With the sort of spectacle that American Dad put together for their 100 th episode (see: killing 100 characters), understandably a lot of people would be expecting something even more extravagant/blood-thirsty this time around. The Two Hundred (Season 12, Episode 10)Ģ00 episodes is a tremendous milestone that only a select number of television shows have had the privilege of achieving. What follows is a bitter Roger setting out to kill the Smiths, with all of this culminating into one of the better bonding experiences between Roger and his surrogate family. The roast itself is an airtight sequence of comedy that highlights all of the reasons why Roger is such a fun character, such as his bizarre penchant for rape or the memo notes that he signs on his checks (“For drugs, yo.”). The episode sees Roger celebrating his birthday and wishing for nothing more than his family to mercilessly roast him, an event that he doesn’t at all take well. There are so many excellent Roger episodes to pick from in American Dad, but the more I think about it, the more I end up coming to the conclusion that “The Great Space Roaster” might be his finest outing. The Great Space Roaster (Season 6, Episode 18) Let us never forget how incredible the concrete CEO, Sarah Fucking Blanch, is. ![]() “Fart-Break Hotel” is a homerun for the large strides that it takes with Francine’s character (while reminding us how capable she is when actually given the opportunity), but also for the deliriously silly detour it gets into regarding time travel and the art of concierging (including Hector Elizondo, as himself, in some A+ guest work). Blood Crieth Unto Heaven (Season 8, Episode 10)Īnyone that has ever accused American Dad of not being smart should look no further than the stylistic experiment, “Blood Crieth Unto Heaven.” In a shining example of the sort of ambition that American Dad would cavalierly operate with, this episode is structured as a missing manuscript from a renowned playwright. The memory montage of Jeff and Hayley moments is sweet in itself, but the episode then shifts into the legendary category for the incredibly choreographed sequence set to Wax Fang’s “The Majestic.” None of this pomp and circumstance is at all necessary here, but the fact that American Dad goes that weird extra mile just for a satisfying visual is exactly why they’re so great. But beyond all of the space madness, the episode also has a shining emotional core to it: Jeff’s love for Hayley. “Lost in Space” is a memorable episode for the simple fact that it’s drowning in aliens and we get a closer look at the rest of Roger’s kind. Well, before (a) Jeff would end up back on Earth, the series would deliver one of their more anomalistic episodes, with the entire endeavor set on an alien spaceship and focused on Jeff. Hayley would experience a lengthy separation from her spouse leaving audiences to wonder if we’d ever be seeing the return of him. The series would play around with serialization to some extent by having Jeff get abducted by Roger’s species. In terms of “big” American Dad episodes, this one is certainly on the Mt. This is just a good example of how to have fun with Roger letting loose, while also incorporating a strong stable of absurd visual gags that keep the episode perpetually unpredictable. On top of that, the installment also gets to have too much fun with Roger running amok in Bad Lieutenant mode, rising the ranks from trainee, to cop, to crooked cop before you have time to snort a line of coke. It’s debatable, but I’d argue that “Cops and Roger” has the funniest visual gag to ever come out of American Dad (and I’d go as far as saying that it’s also one of the most surprising, satisfying gags in the history of animated sitcoms) and so for that honor alone this episode deserves mad accolades. ![]() ![]() GlowShift is your source for cutting-edge 52mm speedometer gauges and other aftermarket automotive products specially designed for cars and trucks.

Despite being a junior synonym, Megaloceros remained in obscurity and Megaceros became the common genus name for the taxon. This has been suggested to be derived from another junior synonym of the Irish elk described by J. In 1844 Richard Owen named another synonym of the Irish elk, including it within the newly named subgenus Megaceros, Cervus ( Megaceros) hibernicus. Outdated 1897 reconstruction of doe and stag Irish elk by Joseph Smit Adrian Lister in 1987 judged that "the phase " Cornibus deciduis palmatis" constitutes a definition sufficient under the (article 12) to validate Megalocerus." The original spelling of Megalocerus was never used after its original publication. The 1828 publication was approved by International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) in 1977 as an available publication for the basis of zoological nomenclature. In 1828 Brookes published an expanded list in the form of a catalogue for an upcoming auction, which included the Latin phrase " Cornibus deciduis palmatis" as a description of the remains. The original description was considered by Adrian Lister in 1987 to be inadequate for a taxonomic definition. giganteus, making the former a junior synonym. The type and only species named in the description being Megaloceros antiquorum, based on Irish remains now considered to belong to M. The etymology being from Greek: μεγαλος megalos "great" + κερας keras "horn, antler". Anatomical and Zoological Preparations, p 20. (Irish), with unusually fine horns, (in part restored) ![]() two uncommonly fine Crania of the Megalocerus antiquorum (Mihi). In 1827 Joshua Brookes, in a listing of his zoological collection, named the new genus Megaloceros (spelled Megalocerus in the earlier editions) in the following passage: Īmongst other Fossil Bones, there. įrench scientist Georges Cuvier documented in 1812 that the Irish elk did not belong to any species of mammal currently living, declaring it " le plus célèbre de tous les ruminans fossiles" (the most famous of all fossil ruminants). ![]() The type specimen of giant deer is currently exposed in Barmeath Castle where Thomas Wright first saw and described it. The holotype of Megaloceros giganteus (Blumenbach, 1799) is a well-preserved male skull with exceptionally large antlers found in Dunleer environs ( County Louth, Ireland). This particular feature mentioned by Blumenbach permitted to Roman Croitor to identify the type specimen of giant deer that was figured and described for the first time in Louthiana of Thomas Wright. According to Blumenbach, the distance between summits of giant deer antlers may attain 14 feet (approximately 4.4 m). The original Blumenbach's description of Alce gigantea provides rather scant information about the species, specifying only that this particular kind of "fossil elk" comes from Ireland and is characterized by immense body size. It was first formally named as Alce gigantea by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in his Handbuch der Naturgeschichte in 1799, with Alce being a variant of Alces, the Latin name for the elk. The first scientific descriptions of the animal's remains were made by Irish physician Thomas Molyneux in 1695, who identified large antlers from Dardistown-which were apparently commonly unearthed in Ireland-as belonging to the elk (known as the moose in North America), concluding that it was once abundant on the island. Taxonomy Research history Skeletal reconstruction from 1856 Although one study suggested that the Irish elk was closely related to the red deer ( Cervus elaphus), most other phylogenetic analyses support the thesis that their closest living relatives are fallow deer ( Dama). For this reason, the name "giant deer" is used in some publications, instead of "Irish elk". It is not closely related to either of the living species currently called elk: Alces alces (the European elk, known in North America as the moose) or Cervus canadensis (the North American elk or wapiti). ![]() The Irish elk is known from abundant skeletal remains which have been found in bogs in Ireland. The most recent remains of the species have been radiocarbon dated to about 7,700 years ago in western Russia. Its range extended across Eurasia during the Pleistocene, from Ireland to Lake Baikal in Siberia. The Irish elk ( Megaloceros giganteus), also called the giant deer or Irish deer, is an extinct species of deer in the genus Megaloceros and is one of the largest deer that ever lived.
![]() Affordable, durable, and compatible with the most common tools on the market, this kit has ample advantages. Made with quick-coupling technology, these let you quickly hook up the compressor and get to work. Also included in this set are three male plugs, each with the same design. Not prone to excessive wear, the swivel point on the couplers helps prevent hose kinks. The brass construction is sturdy and able to handle high amounts of pressure. Coming with a female coupler and connector, the set meets the quarter-inch NPT standard, meaning it will fit with just about any standard hose setup. Types of Air Hose Fittings Plugs: Male Hose FittingsĬomplete with all the supplies you need for standard air hose utility, the AllTopBargains Brass Coupler Set earns a shout-out on this list. Keeping a spare on hand ensures that you can take on that renovation project and see it through. Small parts like these fittings are easily misplaced or damaged. Ever run out of screws mid-project? It brings the whole job to a halt. Proper fittings are an investment in efficiency. Every little bit helps not only the ecosystem, but your pocketbook too. That means less air is wasted and less energy is consumed to do the same amount of work. From running a nail gun at a worksite to painting your car, restoring your wheels, or running advanced power tools, having the right fittings opens up a world of possibilities. But getting controlled air pressure has virtually endless applications. Perhaps you’ve used your compressor only as a tire inflator (a convenience item). By keeping a supply of these fittings, you're prepared for anything. These small parts are responsible for connecting specialized tools to their pneumatic source. If you don’t have the proper fitting for a job, the air compressor is a whole lot less valuable. They direct the air into the hose so that you get the desired pressure. The fittings are necessary to connect all the parts of the compressor. ![]() Just try filling a tire without a fitting-it’s a moot point. Without fittings, you won't be able to use your compressor at all. |
