Affiliation with different local scenes and styles of Salsa dance – L.A. This paper describes the Salsa-scene of Sydney Australia, and links this to different stances towards multilingualism. However, attitudes to multilingualism can differ not only from country to country or from city to city but rather from Salsa-network to Salsa-network. While the language spoken on the dance floors is usually that of the respective (national) environments, the Spanish language is seen as being the authentic means of expression for the music so that outside Latin America, Salsa always brings along the Spanish language. Salsa has its roots in the Americas but is enormously successful worldwide. Salsa, a global urban music and dance phenomenon, is an interesting example for the emergence of transnational cultural spheres. Erving Goffman’s (1959) model of dramaturgy is utilised to frame qualitative data gathered through observations and interviews, to ask: How may this ‘salsa community’, a product of globalisation, be considered as having a distinct identity? How is the city of Glasgow reflected in the salsa? This paper will expand upon this case study approach to interrogate the distinct nature of the ‘salsa community’ in the heart of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. Recent studies on social salsa dancing have explored the London scene as a site of de-ethnicisation (Urquía, 2005), the Montreal scene as a location of multiculturalism (Pietrobruno, 2002) and the Belfast scene as a site of resistance and self-regulation (Skinner, 2008). 485) give particular distinctions to ‘salsa communities.’ Unsurprisingly, for such a global phenomenon, the case study approach for investigating participatory salsa dance has been a popular model to follow. However, as Hannerz (1996) argues, cultural life continues to be heterogeneous despite the impact of globalisation, and with particular reference to social salsa dancing, “local particularities and individual reactions” (Skinner, 2007, p. 495), with salsa classes, clubs and congresses taking place from “from Los Angeles to Belfast, from Gothenberg (Sweden) to Sacramento, San Francisco to Oxford, Edinburgh to Havana, Amsterdam to Washington” (Skinner, 2007, p. “Globalisation has led to the global export of salsa as a leisure pursuit” (Skinner, 2007, p.

Many cases can be managed nonoperatively with activity modification, splinting, and cortisone injections, but in severe or unresponsive cases release of the transverse carpal ligament (i.e., carpal tunnel release) is necessary to relieve symptoms and prevent further damage to the median nerve. The goal of treatment is to reduce the swelling of the tissues within the carpal tunnel or loosen or cut the transverse carpal ligament to make more space for the median nerve. Self-myofascial stretching involves stretching the carpal. Symptoms may occur only or predominantly at night, but often occur during the day with activities such as gripping a steering wheel, tennis racket, or dumbbell, typing, or holding the wrist in bent positions for long periods of time. Self-myofascial ligament stretching can be an easy, do-at-home, treatment to help alleviate symptoms. JAAOS: Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This commonly results in numbness, tingling, and pain in the palm side of the wrist and fingers and sometimes thumb weakness. This Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for carpal tunnel syndrome provides up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for diagnostic, treatment, and postoperative procedures. You can also learn new ways to move and perform tasks that won’t irritate the compressed nerve. Physical and occupational therapy to improve strength and flexibility. The space available for the median nerve is reduced, and the median nerve becomes compressed or pinched. Some nerve compression syndromes improve with nonsurgical treatments, such as: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroid injections for pain and inflammation. Most commonly, CTS results when the tendons or their lining (the synovium) thicken or the ligament tightens. The carpal tunnel is a relatively small space and contains the median nerve and nine tendons that also pass from the forearm into the fingers. 1,2 HAV exposure is also associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). 1 Vibration white fingers (Raynauds phenomena caused by HAV exposure) and vibration neuropathy are well known symptoms of HAV. Patients commonly experience pain, paresthesia, and, less commonly, weakness in the median nerve distribution. Hand-arm vibration (HAV) is a global work-related exposure that can cause different injuries. The carpal tunnel is located approximately where the hand meets the forearm and consists of an arch of bones covered by a strong ligament – the transverse carpal ligament (also referred to as the flexor retinaculum). Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) refers to the complex of symptoms and signs brought on by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. The median nerve runs down the center of the forearm (thus the name “median” nerve) and passes through the carpal tunnel into the palm. The median nerve provides sensation to the palm side of the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger, and it supplies power to most of the thumb muscles. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy (condition in which a nerve gets pinched) and results from compression of the median nerve in the wrist region. Strongsync, an application developed by ExpanDrive, is the first application on the Mac to support this interface. With two Mountain Duck licenses, its already cheaper than Dropbox family plan within the first year of use, and we are able to encrypt files end-to-end. With Apple deprecating Kernel Extensions, and making loading them much more onerous on Apple Silicon the path forward for accessing remote content in native local apps on the mac is the File Provider interface. I have a S3 storage setup shared between me and my wife, and costs about 10/month for few hundred GBs of files stored (photos, her research papers, whatnot). MacOS File Provider based SSHFS Strongsync - a macOS File Provider supporting SFTP Cloudmounter is a similar solution but more squarely designed at Mac. To use rclone, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you saved the executable. Mountain Duck is based on CyberDuck, a popular java-based file transfer client. CloudMounter and Mountain Duck are two popular examples of this type of solution. This NFS server translates the NFS commands into SFTP commands, so you can have an appearance of a local filesystem. One caveat is that like many solutions, it relies on a kernel extension which has been deprecated by macOS and requires a reboot into recovery mode to reduce security level on newer Apple Silicon based macs.Īnother style of implementing SSHFS is implementing a local NFS server that the operating system connects to. If you're looking for a free or open-source option, this is a good place to start. It is a relatively straightforward no-frills command-line appliation without any user interface, but it is well tested and used by many. The go-to opensource option is the port of SSHFS from Linux by macFUSE. The changes you make are immediately and securely synced out to the server over the SSH channel and you don't have to think twice after you hit the save button. Practically speaking that means you can copy and paste file from local to remote from within Finder, or edit files directly on the server using whatever tools you normally use like VS Code, Photoshop, even Microsoft office. Thankfully, there is a better way to interact with files on your server and that is using a SSHFS-type (SSH Filesystem) tool so you can interact with remote storage as if it was local storage on your machine. Manually transferring files that you're editing back and forth can turn into a cumbersome and repetitive task. which are all supported compare to other apps.When you're working with a remote server over SSH it's often the case you need to regularly edit files on that server. Also, by the time I test, it doesn't support dropbox, onedrive, etc. I think this is acceptable for now but I will expect to see improvement on the performance. It needs to take some time to load the file list if your folder has a lot of files (like my google photo). However, the performance is not good as CloudMounter. Mountain Duck - This is seems good (I don't found any bug). I gave up to do any test due to the long loading time. Every click take a minute or even longer time to load. I did some research and people said that it is better (less bug) compare to CloudMounter. It doesn't mount your cloud storage as a drive which is not the thing I am looking for.ĮxpanDrive - It is similar to CloudMounter. And I did some research and some people said that it was unable to upload large file or upload a lot of files at the same time.Ĭommander One - This is just like a FTP client app. Stack Exchange Network Stack Exchange network consists of 181 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers. I can not accept this kind of bug or problem. I need to mount clouds, like Dropbox or Gdrive either as a virtual disk or a virtual folder inside my Windows file. I tried to reopen the same folder few times but it is still unable to load the full list. However, I tried to load my Google Photo folder and I can only see around 10% of my photo listed in the mounted folder. Personally feel that it is the best performance compare all others apps. However, none of them work great so far.ĬloudMounter - It is fastest app to load file list of a cloud folder. I tried some of the app above to mount my cloud storage. I cut four pieces of tolex, following the original style of overlap as much as possible. At this point in the process, I was grateful I took so much time to get nice smooth surfaces with the autobody filler! I was mildly concerned the solvents in the Weldwood might bubble up some of my filler work but that wasn't the case! The polyester filler, once hardened, seems pretty inert! The Weldwood intructions say to apply 74 lbs of force or something like that, so push down and roll out any bubbles or air gaps to ensure good adhesion. I'm not an expert by any means, but when you're using corner guards anyway, you don't have to get too crazy with cutting clean 45 degree angles on the corners, but I like to practice making clean cuts anyway, even if they will be hidden. There are plenty of write ups and videos online about tolexing and how to cleaning tolex the corners. This stuff is great, but you're definitely going to want to wear a respirator, because boy, are those fumes nasty! As a side note, I might try a water based contact adhesive next time around. Tolex was applied using good ol' DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. Could've probably gotten away with 3 yards, but I wanted extra just in case I messed up. I ordered 4 yards of Black Bronco Tolex from Mojotone. TOLEXING! MY FAVORITE PART! WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER! The entire cabinet was finished with 220 grit on a 5" Orbital Sander. A lot of time was spend working on some of the edge/corner areas that had been severely gouged out. I used a combination of the above 3 products and spent about 3 days going over the entire cabinet. It hardens quickly and is ideal for filling really small imperfections. Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty: A 1-part putty you can find at any auto parts chain store. This Glazing Putty also uses the same Blue Cream Hardener as Rage Gold. USC Glazing Putty: Basically just a lighter version of the above for a final glaze coat or for filling really slight imperfections that don't require a lot of build thickness. Rage Gold uses Blue Cream Hardener, not Red Cream Hardener like Bondo. Rage Gold Body Filler: A professional grade product that is much easier to apply and sand than the regular old Bondo you see at auto parts stores. I used the below products, and can post links/photos if anyone is interested: I have a lot of experience doing automotive/motorcycle body work at a hobbyist level, and I've always heard that these polyester body fillers work great for filling gouges in wood as well. Next, I broke out automotive body filler. Looking forward to hearing from ya'll if I'm correct in dating this! There was a small tag on the bottom noting a serial of "P16635"? My research seems to indicate that this cab would have been a 1967 or 1968 as:Ī) It's the larger size closed back Bandmaster 2x12 Here are some photos of the cabinet when I first bought it home two weeks ago. cracks and wood chipping off around the edges.You name it, she's got it!

Apparently his wife is a Cher impersonator and he had a lot of gear left over from a studio he used to own. To make a long story short, I grabbed this beast from a local guy named "Jerry" for $150.

Comme le parc autour de nous, l’eau de Célestins était rafraîchissante. J’ai trouvé que l’eau de Célestins était moins minéralisée que les autres.

The view from this attraction is unreal and certainly a great place to come get a feed-worthy photo. This monument was made to represent the new millennium – 2000. This is the spot to come see Millennial Monument, a giant sundial that sits on a mountaintop overlooking the water. This fort was the place where the Emancipation Revolt occurred in 1848, which put slavery to a stop in the West Indies. The second fort, Fort Frederik, is located on the west side of the island in a town called, Frederiksted. The purpose of Fort Christiansvaern was to guard the harbor against any enemies and also to ensure taxes were collected from imports and exports. Out of the two forts, this has stayed in tack a bit more than the other and has been around since 1749. It’s located right on the edge of Chrsitiansted and directly next to the harbor there. Where I was staying was running distance from Fort Christiansvaern, which I was able to explore a few times. Tour Fort Christiansvaern and Fort Frederik When my friend and I visited some of these attractions, we were the only two at the spot which made it that much better. There is always something to stay busy doing on this cute little island and if you visit in the low season, it feels like an off the beaten path destination. Everyone was very kind and willing to point me in the right direction or give me a recommendation for some good food. I’m sure some crime does occur on this island but during my time here, I never witnessed anything out of the ordinary. This also means the steering wheel is on the left side in the car which may throw you off a little at first. Some of the terrain that you’ll drive on and through may be unfinished and rocky/bumpy so if you plan on exploring the island a good amount, I’d recommend a car with four wheel drive.Ī good thing to know before you arrive is that everyone drives on the opposite side of the road compared to the mainland United States. She had her own vehicle, so it made exploring easy and her house was close enough to the downtown area that I could just venture there while she was at work.įor those of you who don’t have a friend living here, I highly suggest renting a car. When I visited this beautiful destination, one of my best friends was currently living on the island. In the 1700s, sugar production was big here so you may see some remains of sugar plantations and mills if you look hard enough! They’re just more on the chill and quiet side rather than being loud and obnoxious – not a bad thing at all. They’re extremely friendly but can be a bit more reserved than what you may be used to. Since 1960, the population has tripled on these islands and there are now 50,000 people living on St. The island stretches 28 miles across and is 7 miles wide, taking just under an hour to drive from east to west. I would usually go take a run during this time because it felt so nice! There were random rainstorms here and there during the day but the sun stayed out and it was a warm rain. I visited here during hurricane season and it’s not at all as bad as you may think. The Virgin Islands experience hurricane season from May to November. Tourist season is from December to April so if you’re not fond of crowds, I would advise against these months. However, this is a peak season with the cruise industry and tourists. The neat thing about the US Virgin Islands is that the weather doesn’t change too dramatically here. This meant that Hasbro could make working toys fairly easily - sticking to realistic toy mechanisms drove the aesthetic of the cartoon. A good example is the 1980's Transformers toy line - the transformation from vehicle to robot made sense even if the range of motion of the anthropomorphized robots were fudged to make them more human like. In videogames and movies, almost nothing is designed by an engineer and if a mechanism seems to make sense to the casual observer it's good enough. When I began thinking about the Portal Turret I knew it wouldn't be a simple conversion from a 3d object created using surface or NURBS space to solid or Parametric space. I've been using SolidWorks for the past 14 years in school and as a professional to make consumer products as an industrial designer, but every project presents new challenges.

Citizen Snips, who started his Turret around the same time as I did, but managed to finish his in a more reasonable amount of time. I'd like to acknowledge some other builders who inspired me to this huge project: I'd guess that it weighs around 20 pounds, but it's such an odd shape that it's impossible to lift in one piece - the front legs tend to fall out. The entire model is about 48" tall at the top of the egg, with another 10" of antenna above that. This project took me a good 200 hours in my spare time after work over the course of several months and several hundred dollars worth of materials. The Turret proved to be a special challenge since it's so spindly and transforms in ways that leave no room for internal mechanisms. I had access to some behind the scenes assets, but they weren't nearly as helpful as you'd think - carefully examining screen-captures is best. When I made this my company, ThinkGeek, was working with Valve to develop a number of licensed products and toys related to the two Portal videogames, so I was already taking a close look at how to recreate these virtual objects in the real world, just not at such an ambitious scale. It turned into a far more involved project than I expected, so be warned: this project is not for the faint of heart. This instructable is a walk-through of how I made my life-sized Turret from the videogame Portal. It traces the origin of the venture as well as the internal conflicts that nearly derailed it.
