He is the only one who tries to find a reason to fight the Angels, and sometimes his justification for fleeing from piloting is to avoid hurting others. Through all this, Shinji is also aware of his own faults, has a detailed memory of the past, and generally is outwardly gentle. He is shown to the extreme of this, forsaking many lives (even his own) to save one person.ĭue to Shinji's high nostalgia and fragile emotional state, he chooses to shut out the world, as evidenced by the headphones he wears rather often, plugged into an SDAT music player. In social party situations, he is shown to be quite uncomfortable, and he often has difficulty controlling his emotions around others due to his hard time letting go of the past. In general, Shinji is shown to be introverted and disconnected from physical reality due to having little to no meaningful contact with others. Shinji shows a great fear of emotional pain and of being hated or left behind, likely due to his perception of being abandoned in his youth and, subsequently, blaming himself for not being good enough to make his father stick around. He also continually tells himself "I mustn't run away!", further demonstrating his need to move forward and let go of the past. Though Shinji denies it, he yearns for praise, and he eventually begins to pilot Unit-01 to gain the approval and love from his father. ![]() When he is told to pilot Unit-01, he denies, not wanting to do it.

![]() Luckily, we ended up getting a ride from a friendly shuttle driver to the brewery where our friends were waiting for us, beers in hand.Īfter the last few climbs, the hiker hunger was taking over and we were able to fill up on food and beer. Pepper and I both thought, “Do we look like the type of people who know where the country club is?” I gave my most convincing guess that it was in the direction of the brewery, which was enough to get them to roll their window up and speed off towards it… without us. They rolled down the window and asked us if we knew where XYZ Country Club was. They went by five times before the old man drove through a big mud puddle in the median to get to us, clearly as a last ditch effort to get back en route. We had stood there on the corner with our thumbs out, watching the ominous rain clouds grow nearer and a very expensive Lexus sedan with an older couple get lost. Pepper and I were the last of our friends to reach the parking lot which was the designated hopping off point to get to the brewery, either by shuttle or by hitchhike. A group of us decided to do a few long days’ hikes to make it to the Devil’s Backbone Brewery, which is only a few miles off trail. Regardless, after climbing to the top of the Priest and the infamous Three Ridges after it, a beer (or five) is well earned. I’m not sure if there’s any relation between the naming of the brewery and its geographical location next to a mountain called The Priest. “Holy shit… we’re only one third of the way on this long ass trail.” “Yay!! We made it one third of the way to Katahdin!” “Holy shit! We hiked one third, or 731 miles, of the Appalachian Trail!!” Here’s how they all verbalized between Pepper and I over the next 15 minutes after passing the sign: What an accomplishment, relief, and mind-blowing milestone. Probably unsurprising to those who know us personally, our hotel room was full of hikers, beer, food and laughter. Being the social butterflies we and many of our fellow hikers are, Daleville turned into the first day of college – seeing friends and meeting new ones, usually with a couple of ‘soda pops’ and some variety of fast food or stack of pizzas. We try to spearhead all of our chores as soon as possible so we can get off our feet for one full day. Our usual routine for zero days is to get to the hotel (usually roadside motel) the night before, lay our stuff out on the bed, shower and clean up while waiting for our laundry to finish, and then take care of our resupply. We reserved two nights at the Super 8, and due to the close proximity to the trail, many of our fellow hikers had the same idea. Shortly after completing the Virginia triple crown, we were excited for a much deserved zero day in Daleville, VA. The time off did my good I think.Since Virginia has over 500 miles of AT running through it, here are some bits from the second half of the journey. I ended up taking two weeks off from the bike, and now that I am starting to peddle around again I do feel stronger and fresher than even before the race. The key to a more successful race next year will be a better hydration strategy and a year's worth of pushing my pain cave threshold. Disappointed? Yes, I would have liked to have finished it but I think I found my limits of suffering in terms of what I was willing to put myself through voluntarily. Like a Hollywood movie desert wanderer my mumbles of "must go on" eventually stopped motivating me and I took the easy way out (a rented school bus and the promise of a cold beer.)Ĭould I have gone on and completed the race? Maybe - but judging by the finish times of those around me, it would have taken more than 9 hours. Eventually it was the exposure that got me with about 1/3rd of the race to go. the cramps meant walking, the walking meant slower going, and the slower going meant more time in the direct sun. ![]() ![]() I simply wasn't able to keep the cramps at bay no matter how much water I forced down. ![]() What made the HBR different was the heat and humidity. Only a few short weeks ago I mad a run at the Devil's Backbone Mountain Cross - a race of similar length and amount of climbing, and although my finish time was a bit on the long side I had no issues completing the race. Ultimately I set my sites on completing the Hilly Billy Roubaix as my 30th birthday challenge, and ultimately I failed. Sort of a goal to get in shape and feel less aged, sort of a big dumb memorable event to mark the occasion, sort of a thing I might otherwise do anyway but where the timing coincided sufficiently to feel symbolic. With the milestone birthday approaching I decided I wanted to attempt some physical feat in the closing days of my 20's. ![]() ![]() ![]() As workers spend most of their lives in the workplace, it is arguable that such environments play a critical role in shaping the state of their minds and drive, perceptions, reactions and responses to the stressors even beyond the workplace. Work stress and related anxieties are conditions which can affect anyone and at any moment, particularly in economies in the cusp of depressions. Unlike for physical health ailments, accessing advice, getting support and the recommended assistance for maintaining mental wellness, particularly at the workplace, has never been as simple as calling the doctor for an appointment, undergoing surgery or getting a prescription. Organizations have had to continuously institute programs to enhance internal integration and external adaptation in a bid to stay afloat due to the challenges brought about by the economy. Workers, particularly in Zimbabwe, have been at the receiving end of incessant organizational change and restructuring processes. Abstract: The deleterious effects of work stress on the mental wellness of workers has remained underrepresented in work stress, coping and health research.The thrill of the song is wrapped up in how it skirts any pressure to lay out its intentions, how it moves at its own whims. She may be channeling the want to be immaterial, the ability to evaporate like a wisp of smoke, but when she sings “I’m so nonphysical,” it comes with embodied longing, as if she’s aching for touch. She enters a new dimension in the chorus, switching from narrator to first-person, trading a Drake-like rhythmic delivery for her usual lithe, crystalline singing. Meanwhile, as if recreating the slipperiness of Bunny, Polachek darts through various images (blazing fireworks, a wet palette, a cut check), never resting long enough for you to grasp what’s next. It’s a characteristic display of PC Music alum Harle’s impulse to simultaneously send-up and pay homage to popular forms, with results too deliciously crisp to read as a joke. –Puja PatelĬasting off the gossamer avant-pop of 2019’s Pang, Polachek and producer Danny L Harle opt for a sound that is both commercial and weird: a deep, juicy bassline befitting of the Top 40, a “ yoo hoo” whistle, a sample taken from Harle’s giggling baby, even marimba plinks that conjure an island vacation with Kygo. It’s a one-act play of existential malaise and a sardonic anthem for those who can't help but seek out the spotlight. There’s some humor to it all forlorn, she recognizes that the world never stops turning, and that it’s fine to lie to ourselves if it helps pass the time. The song unfolds as a balancing act of vulnerability and expectation, of altruistic self-expression and the vanity of wanting to be seen, or even adored. ![]() ![]() “Working for the Knife" is her brooding, melancholic first major single back from this respite, and acts as an incisive warning about how much of our identity we give to our life’s greatest undertakings, and who we’re giving it up for.

Naturally, that means SPOILERS, SPOILERS, and SPOILERS ahoy. ![]() ![]() I’m still trying to wrap my head around what happens on the Citadel, and after, so I think untangling the narrative threads of the various ME3 endings that have been tightly wrapped around Shepard’s neck might be a good exercise for us all. Though, if Bioware knows what’s good for them, whatever happens to Commander Shepard and/or her friends and lovers won’t be anywhere near the cost of the launch-ready Prothean Artifact DLC. Most likely this will be in the form of downloadable content for Mass Effect 3 whether these “additional content initiatives” will be free of charge or paid is still unknown. In an unprecedented, if not unexpected, turn of events, Bioware, the developer behind each ME installment, has issued several public statements to the tune of “ we hear you, please keep talking, we’re going to do our best to stop the bleeding and make the pain go away.” So far, though, the medi-gel hasn’t yet been applied.įans have complained so loudly and collectively that Bioware has announced that changes to the game’s ending(s) will definitely be coming, and they’ll say more next month about just what that means for fans and for the game. Hundreds of thousands of Mass Effect fans have joined forces in varying degrees to express their frustrations, and thankfully much of the consternation has been expressed with feedback that could actually help construct a “better” conclusion to the game and to Commander Shepard’s journey. There have been a great many rumblings of overwhelming dissatisfaction with the final moments of this epic chapter in what turns out to be a mythic story. So, despite some of you not waiting until now, though I promised we’d get to it, let’s talk about what happens at the end of Mass Effect 3. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, let’s have a closer look at different types of nose shapes determined by race.Īfrican or American? that’s the question. In summary, the shape of your nose is not only a matter of genetic alteration but also a response to the environment and accordingly a racial trait. So, we should note that other factors such as gender are, less or more, involved as well. However, this is a simplified explanation of a very complex history. Therefore, some aspects of nose shape are indeed driven by adaptation to the local climate. The research suggests that the width of a nose is related to temperature and absolute humidity. For example, Europeans have noses with narrow bridges which are seen as an adaptation to the cold climate of where they live.Īs explained in a research published in the Journal of PLOS Genetics, the observed differences in nose shapes among people are not a mere result of the genetic shift but are adaptations to a specific climate. That’s why there exists a wide range of different nose shapes among different descents. It changes and evolves from one generation to the next over the time to adapt to a particular regional environment and climate. Nose shape, which is one of the facial features, is regarded to vary among different races. Different races or ethnic groups tend to demonstrate different specific physical characteristics. Race refers to the groupings of humans according to the common qualities they obtained as they live in a specific region. ![]() ![]() Visitors from outside the state of Michigan are permitted at Zen Leaf Buchanan, in accordance with state law, so long as they can provide valid identification and proof of age.
