The agency is also working with tax software providers to update their systems to allow for that tax break. Last week, the IRS released filing instructions for workers who are eligible to claim a tax break on their unemployment income, including a worksheet for filers who submit a paper return. And that could save those who already submitted their taxes a lot of time and hassle. But now, the IRS says it should be equipped to handle adjustments to tax returns relating to this exemption on its own. Originally, some tax professionals thought filers in this situation would need to submit an amended tax return. At that point, a lot of people had already filed their 2020 taxes - without accounting for this new provision. The problem, however, is that the relief bill wasn't signed into law until the middle of March. Getting out of paying taxes on $10,200 of income can be a good thing. Unemployment tax break: IRS tax refunds to start in May for $10,200 unemployment tax break: Here's what you need to know Stimulus check update: When will ‘plus-up’ payments arrive? Answers to your COVID relief questions Normally, all unemployment income is taxable at the federal level, but the new relief bill exempts jobless workers' first $10,200 in benefits for those earning less than $150,000. Not only will jobless workers be entitled to a $300 weekly unemployment boost through early September, but they'll also get a nice break on their taxes. These include $1,400 stimulus checks, enhanced health insurance subsidies, and boosted unemployment benefits. The recently passed $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill contains a host of provisions designed to throw struggling Americans a bone. Watch Video: COVID-19: Who is unemployed?

Different kinds of vagina shapes1/16/2024 The uterus is where a fetus develops during pregnancy. Uterus: The uterus is located in the lower belly area between the hips (pelvis), through the vagina just past the cervix.During childbirth, the cervix dilates so the baby can move out of the uterus, into the vagina, and out of the body. For others, direct contact with the cervix is painful. While direct contact with the cervix rarely happens during sexual intercourse, some people claim that it helps with sexual pleasure. Cervix: The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that separates the lower uterus and the vagina.Parts of the vagina are made of collagen and elastin, which help it expand during sexual stimulation and childbirth. Vagina: The vagina is a muscular canal that connects the cervix and the uterus.Skene’s glands are sometimes called "the female prostate." Some scientists think these glands are responsible for "female ejaculation" or " squirting" during sexual arousal. Skene's glands: The Skene's glands are located on either side of the urethra.They release secretions that lubricate the vagina to make sexual intercourse more comfortable. Bartholin glands: Bartholin glands sit on both sides inside the vaginal opening.The vaginal opening: The vaginal opening is located between the urethra and the anus.Its opening is located below the clitoris, directly above the vaginal opening. Urethral opening: The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.The rest of the clitoris is a spongy shaft that goes back several inches inside the body. A fold of skin called the clitoral hood covers most of the clitoris, leaving only the tip (nub) visible. Clitoris: The clitoris sits at the top of the vulva, above the urethral opening.Labia minora: The labia minora are skinfolds that are just inside the labia majora. In some people, the labia minora extends past the labia majora.The labia majora is often referred to as the outer lips. They cover and protect the more delicate external genital organs. Labia majora: The labia majora are the fleshy outer folds of protective skin located on each side of the vaginal opening. Mons pubis: The mons pubis is the rounded, fleshy area on the front of the pelvic bone (the lower belly area) where pubic hair usually grows. Jack nicholson batman1/16/2024 He explained to the director, “I love to act.”Ĭlassic Jack moment: “You can’t handle the truth” has entered the pop culture lexicon, and it may be Nicholson’s most quoted line. Nicholson honored Reiner’s request, no problem. Nicholson was receiving a reported $500,000 a day for his 10 days of work, but the 10 days were up. One of the most telling concerns was Reiner having to ask Nicholson to put in some “off-the-clock” time to film some pickup shots. Kevin Pollak has great stories about the making of Rob Reiner’s all-star adaptation of Aaron Sorkin’s play. Watch it: Easy Rider, on Amazon Prime, Apple TV prime,” surely put impressionists on notice that they should add this rising actor to their repertoires. But his lascivious reading of the line, “These ain’t no pork chops. He rides away with this counterculture classic … easily.Ĭlassic Jack moment: The campfire scene, in which he expounds on the film’s theme (“Don’t tell anybody that they’re not free, because they’ll get busy killing and maiming to prove to you that they are”), no doubt earned Nicholson his first Oscar nomination. Lawrence–toasting small-town southern lawyer, who befriends New Orleans–bound bikers Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper), put him on the map after years of low-budget indies ( Little Shop of Horrors) and TV ( The Andy Griffith Show). Easy Rider tapped an underserved youth audience and helped to usher in the so-called New Hollywood era of personal films that upended the studio status quo. Riverdale season 5 episode 1 review1/15/2024 I know this thought is going long but I could keep gushing about the singing in this episode – and I probably will – for at least another few hundred words. The only one of the main cast that still struggles was poor Charles Melton. As for Madelaine Petsch, Camila Mendez, Casey Cott, Lili Reinhart, and Vanessa Morgan, they kill it as always, showing off for this final episode why we keep having these types of episodes. True, Cole ducks out pretty fast but KJ had a LOT more singing on his own to do. Seriously, the two weakest singers of past specials, KJ Apa and Cole Sprouse, have never sounded so good. They were integrated in a far more natural way and actually could play to the actors’ vocal strengths. It helps that the songs were (I’m assuming) written for the episode rather than written into it. “Archie: The Musical” FELT like a musical, perfectly blending the unreality of the genre with the hyper-reality of Riverdale. This one may not be quite as tight as that episode but damn if it doesn’t come close. Thankfully, the writer/director team behind my favorite of the Riverdale musical episodes, “Next to Normal”, came back and absolutely knocked it out of the park. And we all know that the track record for CW musicals are… mixed at best. Because, friends, we all know what those previews are like. Once I saw the preview last week, I was relieved. I was starting to get worried there wouldn’t be any this season, what with them sneaking in the occasional music number throughout the rest of the season. It wouldn’t be a Riverdale season without a musical episode. What’s that? He was the center of nearly every OTHER musical episode? Shush! Don’t take this away from him (or me.) What better place than in a musical episode? It seems fitting for the theater kid that he is. It’s time he was front and center for something other than cruising in the woods and being part of not one but TWO cults. What’s up river-bitches?! Kevin’s been in the background for too long. Cheetah pmp course1/15/2024 "Agile is the future of project management," said Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, CCL, CAC, PMI-ACP, RYT, founder and CEO of Cheetah Learning. Those who complete the course are Cheetah Agile Certified and qualified to lead as Agile project managers. The online Cheetah Agile certification course teaches the fundamentals of Agile project management, skills that can be applied in numerous industries. PMP® is a registered trademark of the Project Management Institute. Worldwide, there are nearly 80,000 Cheetah Alumni. Cheetah students are guaranteed to pass the PMP® exam by following Cheetah’s program. Cheetah students culminate their four-day intensive accelerated learning program by taking and passing the Project Management Institute’s PMP® exam. Most Cheetah students report back, even years later, they were cured of their test anxiety problem because of their Cheetah Exam Prep experience. Passing the PMP® exam while nice, is just the icing on the cake for those high performers who have suffered the effects of test anxiety for years.Cheetah Learning is the two decades-long industry leader in Accelerated Exam Prep for the Project Management Professional (PMP)® exam. Cheetah students learn to self-correct their own anxiety triggers with pattern interrupts specific to their triggers, rather than reinforcing those anxiety triggers. They learn how to do this in the first hour of the class and by the end of the second day are well practiced in using their uniquely designed pattern interrupt techniques so they quickly return to a place of calm curiosity, more receptive to learning. Pattern Interrupts - The brain that fires together wires together.Anxiety activates the limbic brain and makes it difficult for the executive functioning part of the brain to kick in - the part of the brain needed to logically deduce the correct answers to the difficult PMP exam questions. So when they sit down to take the actual PMP exam, they have conditioned themselves to be calm and focused. We create an environment during their Cheetah Exam Prep immersive experience where Cheetah students retrain themselves into a conditioned state of relaxed focus when they are taking exams. Granted who wants to train themselves into a conditioned state of test anxiety but without paying attention to what is going on, many people do just that. State Conditioning - test anxiety is a form of state conditioning.I thought it was interesting several years ago one competitor was advertising they "let" their students have "Red Bull." They aren't in business any longer. People who are regularly anxious usually have higher beta brain wave states plus sugar and caffeine can put people into an even higher beta state which is precisely why these two become so addicting. The students also practice prioritizing exercise and sleep and use binaural beat apps to condition their brain waves to a lower beta state to become familiar with how they experience life differently. Peak Performing Mind - BEFORE a Cheetah student even starts their Cheetah Exam Prep experience, they spend time learning how to get themselves into a peak performing mind with a holistic approach that involves a healthy diet that limits sugar and caffeine and includes plenty of veggies and healthy proteins (mostly what we all know is a healthy diet but seldom do).What is it that happens differently for Cheetah students? The challenge is what to do about a topic that brings out anxiety for even the calmest amongst us - the anticipation of taking an exam well known to be extremely difficult with a very high first-time failure rate (some anecdotal evidence suggests the current first-time failure rate for the PMP® exam is 80%). Add this on top of the general increase in anxiety and for some, even the idea of taking a test can create panic attack-like symptoms (racing heart, sweaty palms, dry mouth, inability to focus, emotional dysregulation, etc).Īt Cheetah, after four days in our immersive accelerated learning program, Cheetah students take and pass the actual PMP® exam the next day to prove they have mastered accelerated learning (the majority of Cheetah classes, every single student passes the PMP® exam, on their first attempt). About five years ago, I noticed we had increasing anxiety overall in our society (this was even before Covid raised the general level of anxiety even higher). Instagram app cover1/15/2024 Lastly, swipe the “Feature” tool to the right or left to smoothen the filter you just added.Įventually, and hopefully, it will look like this. Then, after pressing the wand sign above the filters, swipe one side or corner of the book. Highlight Backgrounds: An app dedicated to highlighting your Insta account. Pick a “Looks” filter which is similar to the book cover image’s original color, but darker. Just tap on colors, borders, icons, stickers, and texts to enlarge or edit them. I do this to darken one side or corner of the cover image, to make it look less like an image from the internet, and more like a book with shadows on it. The last thing you should do, (y’know, if you want,) is use the “Looks” tool to put a filter on part of your book cover image. Add Text: StoryLight Highlight App for Instagram is a kind of Instagram story editor that also allows you to add text with beautiful fonts to your Instagram highlight cover. It has Chalk, floral icons, food icons pack, and also love icons. You can also use the “Cut Out” tool to round out the edges of the book cover image, so they don’t look so sharp. Icons & Stickers: A package of cool icons that you can add to your highlight cover. In my case, I’m trying to cover up the original blue cover with a smaller cover of The Hand on the Wall. Put this new layer under the first cover image, and try to line it up with the original book image that is sticking out. To fix this, multiply the book cover image (by pressing the image layer of the book cover, on the right side of the screen) and make the new layer smaller. It’s an app called Photoshop Mix, and I’m going to show you how to use it.Īdobe Photoshop Mix is a free phone app for iOS and Android, but I’m using my iPhone and can’t speak for the Android app. One answer might be “Photoshop, of course.” But I have a better cheaper answer. For years, I have stared at my screen every single day, asking, “How? How are they doing that?” I’ve seen so many accounts post photos of ARCs they do not have, or photos including books which were just announced. This has been, possibly, the greatest mystery of Bookstagram for years. Photographing a Book When You Only Have the Digital Cover Once again, I’m making this post for people like me, who have searched high and low for answers on how to do very specific things to no avail. Have you ever wondered how bookstagram accounts upload photos with books they don’t own yet? Or have you ever envied accounts who have mastered the spaces between caption paragraphs? Watch quake games online1/15/2024 QuakeCon 2021 content - what to expect? QuakeCon 2021 will host several online tournaments. In addition to English, other languages will be supported, including Spanish, German, Polish, and others. While the main event will be broadcasted live on the official Bethesda Twitch and YouTube channel, you will be able to watch the event on official channels of the individual games, as well as on the channels of participating community members. QuakeCon 2021 is kicking off on Thursday,19th August, and will end on Saturday, 21st August.īethesda hasn't yet revealed the exact schedule of all events, panels, and streams included in this year's QuakeCon, but we expect those details to be shared soon, and we will immediately update the article with a full schedule, so stay tuned. QuakeCon 2021 is set to be held this August and it will be a 3-day event. When is QuakeCon 2021 - Schedule, dates, times (Picture: Bethesda) Unfortunately, the continuation of that tradition will have to wait for another year, but Bethesda will make sure that fans of their games will have an awesome time while watching the event online. (Picture: Bethesda)īefore the pandemic, it was North America's largest BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) LAN party and one of the biggest in the world. We will have to wait at least another year for famous QuakeCon LAN parties to return. All of the single-player maps can be used as arenas, but the game also comes with six maps especially designed for deathmatch.Its 25-years-long tradition saw the event growing from an unorganized fan gathering to a massive event that celebrates not just Quake, but all games under Bethesda publishing. The emphasis is on fast reaction and skillful maneuvering through the levels. One-on-one duels, team play and free-for-all competition are possible. The single-player levels can be played cooperatively, but the game is most famous for its deathmatch mode. Quake was one of the first games playable natively over the Internet in addition to LANs. Besides a (bloodstained) axe, there are shotguns, nailguns, rocket and grenade launchers and the Thunderbolt, which discharges electrical energy. The player’s weapons, while relatively modern, all have a low-tech feel. The enemies conform to the mishmash of designs: there are human opponents armed with shotguns and energy weapons in the early levels, while the later levels include medieval knights, ghosts, zombies, ogres (armed with grenade launchers and chainsaws) and some more unearthly beasts. In a departure from Doom’s colorful environments, all Quake levels are dominated by earth colors. While each episode begins in a futuristic military base (with a technological ‘slipgate’ as the level exit), later levels take place in environments inspired by medieval fantasy and gothic horror (castles, dungeons and caverns) and the player passes through magical portals to advance. Unlike Doom’s rather straightforward design that couples futuristic environments with demonic imagery, the theme of Quake’s levels, enemies and weapons is not so easily pinpointed. As in id’s earlier games, many secrets are waiting to be discovered, including a few hidden levels. Interaction with the game world is reduced to a minimum: since there is no use key, buttons are pressed by running into or shooting at them. In single-player mode, gameplay consists mainly of proceeding through the levels (spread over four distinct episodes) in search of an exit, killing everything that moves. The mission is clear: take the fight to the enemy, overcoming countless hordes of monsters, and exact revenge. Somewhere in the base there must be a teleporter to Quake’s realm. The player takes the role of a nameless soldier who arrives at his base only to find out Quake has overrun it and killed everyone. Play Quake online! Quake game descriptionĪn enemy with the codename ”Quake”, which is believed to come from another dimension, is using teleporter gates to invade Earth. This not only allows for more natural level designs and character animations, but also for more realistic lighting and the inclusion of simulated physics that have an effect on gameplay: grenades can bounce off walls and around corners, for example. Its main technological innovation is the use of a true 3D engine – the levels themselves as well as the enemies are polygonal. Id Software’s followup to Doom and Doom II, Quake is a first-person shooter. Marine diesel engine coolant stop leak1/15/2024 This sort of failure typically is accompanied by a sound like an exhaust leak. This loss of compression results in a rough running engine and a notable reduction in engine power. If a failed head gasket allows compressed air/fuel to escape, the compression of that cylinder is reduced. If the car is driven while overheating, it can also result in the alloy cylinder head warping, or steam damaging the catalytic converter, adding significantly to the cost of repair. Once a head gasket has failed it can cause all manner of problems, including: 1) OverheatingĪn engine overheating one too many times (as a result of a clogged radiator, coolant leak, faulty fan, etc.) can cause head gasket failure but, conversely, a blown head gasket can also cause the engine to overheat. Hot exhaust gases can leak into the cooling system, or coolant can leak into the cylinders and be burned off as steam, either way, the end result is an overheating engine. Moreover, some engines are just designed with poor clamping force from the head bolts, or have heads prone to warping, and a reputation for failure. This issue is made worse on some motors that have an iron cylinder block and an aluminum head. Typically head gaskets fail when the cylinder head and the engine block expand at different rates as the engine is warming up, and the gasket can't seal the newly expanded gap. If that's happening, stop the engine right away. However, one of the clues to a blown head gasket is a sweet-smelling white cloud behind you. That's because a head gasket can fail seven slightly different ways, which we l ist here, all of which are potentially catastrophic for the engine. If you even think yours might be going, act now. A blown head gasket is definitely going to spoil your day. Silver centurion mcoc1/15/2024 U can’t predict what I will do like u can the AI. I dream of a day when true PVP is possible just cuz I wanna show him how a person is radically more challenging than a programmed AI. I think he should be at the top of the best of the best tier(calling that a God tier strikes me as highly disrespectful to God).Īnyhow, other than that, I think ur list, & it presentation of it, is way better than the overhyped Seatin’s. After I fought thru the whole map & was his 1st attacker. I have no idea what Kabam might make a Silver Centurion armor actually do. My best ever fight with him( he is asleep but level maxed 4* so about 4,500 or so), I took out a 20,000+ Thing on a war boss node. But not only is it completely inaccurate to say that the Silver Centurion armor is a Realm of Champions creation, it’s also inaccurate to think that all Iron Man armors are even close to the same as far as what MCoC can do with them at this stage of the game. Those boot jets he uses in Spec 1 & 2, if used properly, make him just about the trickiest attacker there is. They have him tagged as a Defensive tank, but I think that is an egregious error. I destroyed the 7,000+ hero rated Hulkbuster in Act 4 chapter 1 with my 3* Hulkbuster. In either case, he is far & away my best attacker. I have him in 2 & 3* awakened, & 4* asleep. Also, there is one glaring omission in ur offensive tier list(which may or may not have been written before this superbuff by Kabam). Why? Because as soon as his body double activates, ur stuck with the 70% health drain for the rest of the quest. However, I don’t use him for anything but War defense & are a. As far as a war defender, as long as he is awakened, those 2 bars of health r a stone pain in the rear to beat. This fight is from Strike Fear Thronebreaker Event Quest.

Where did' Laura Bush' Petunia - Petunia X violacea 'Laura Bush' come from? Creation of a new plant cultivar doesn’t happen overnight. It is more cold tolerant, disease resistant and heat tolerant than most modern hybrids. 'Laura Bush' petunia offers many colorful blooms and dark green foliage which serves as a background to showcase the spectacular floral display. Hot weather takes its toll on most petunias-BUT NOT ALL! 'Laura Bush' Petunia - Petunia X violacea 'Laura Bush' is a reseeding old fashioned petunia with fragrant violet flowers on a vigorous heat tolerant plant. When getting into the mid-70s, the petunia growth habits vary, but when temperatures climb above 75 degrees and days lengthen, most petunia plants become leggier with fewer flowers. Most of the blooms are frozen off of petunias with the first hard freeze BUT THE FOLIAGE REMAINS AND KEEPS ENLARGING THE ROOTSYSTEM. Lots of roots mean bountiful blooms in the spring. Petunias respond best to temperatures in the low 60s becoming bushier for more flowers in the spring especially if roots have outgrown the plant’s top growth. If petunias are planted in the fall or winter, their root systems will be much larger than the spring-planted flowers - Even winter plantings out bloomed spring-planted flowers. In fact the ground remains warm enough for roots to outgrow the plant’s top growth. Our Texas’ climate is simply ideal for petunias. They will reward you with many more blooms and a much longer blooming period in the spring. Harden young plants for 10 - 14 days before planting outdoors after last frost date.Petunias will be SPECTACULAR this next spring if you plant them this fall or winter.
