8/31/2023 0 Comments Closing jing fong crater chinatownLarge banquets and buyouts, which accounted for half of the pre-pandemic business, never returned. Even if those diners had returned, operating the Jing Fong dining room, with its dozens of dim sum carts being pushed around to various tables, was a losing proposition at 25 percent capacity. In October, the restaurant tried its hand at indoor dining, but reception was lukewarm: the tourists that made up the bulk of the pre-pandemic business had not yet returned to the city. “It’s an atmosphere and volume game, otherwise it doesn’t work,” said Lam. Socially distanced tables and barriers did not mesh with Jing Fong’s business model. Even if the restaurant could have expanded its patio, it would have taken an empty parking lot to bridge the gap in the number of seats lost from pre-pandemic times. Revenue returned with the addition of takeout and eventually outdoor dining, but the restaurant was never able to aggressively build out its patio seating like some other businesses around the city, perhaps in part because it is located directly across the street from the NYPD’s 5th Precinct station house. The dip in sales forced Jing Fong to shutter its dining room on March 10, a week earlier than mandated by New York State. At one point in mid-February 2020, Lam counted just 36 customers in a room that can legally hold 794. But even before any mandates to shut down indoor dining, the restaurant saw its daily check totals plummet, mainly a result of diminished tourism but also because of racism and xenophobia surrounding the coronavirus. Sales at Jing Fong are down 85 percent year-over-year, which translates to a loss of about $5 to 6 million, according to Lam. A satellite location on the Upper West Side, which opened in 2017, is unaffected by any of the changes. The iconic dim sum restaurant, which opened in 1978 but moved to its current location at 20 Elizabeth Street, between Canal and Bayard streets, in 1992, has worked out a deal with its landlord to use the kitchen rent-free on a month-to-month basis. “With our drastic decline in sales and mounting losses sustained over the course of a year, we needed to make the tough call to close our indoor dining space and redirect our resources in hopes to continue our operations,” the third-generation owner and manager Truman Lam said in a statement. Following a growing trend during the pandemic, the restaurant has plans to continue operating as a ghost kitchen to fulfill orders for takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining on its patio. Jing Fong, the largest Chinese restaurant in Manhattan, announced today that it would permanently close its dining room on March 7 due to business loss as a result of COVID-19.

8/31/2023 0 Comments Maschine mikro native instrumentsFor nearly half the price of the normal Mk2, you can get the Mikro version.īoth models come with the same exact software. With maschine you can produce any genre of music, but I can see it being most useful for hip-hop producers.Īt first, the differences between the two Maschine MK2 models might seem a bit confusing. It is very workflow-based and makes it easy to get your ideas down fast. Maschine is a very unique option compared to other music production software. Maschine is the name of the DAW that Native Instruments includes. You can synthesize any kind of sound from pads, to lasers, to basses, to leads. Massive is a $200 synth that can be very powerful when used right. I had to carefully read around just to make sure it wasn’t limited in any way. I was very surprised that Native Instruments included the full version of Massive. There are 445 full drum kits, 388 multi-sampled instruments, 8627 samples, 403 loops, 1200 patterns, and 38 pre-made projects. The library of “goodies” include samples, one-shots, slided loops, sampled instruments, presets, patterns, drum kits, and even pre-made Maschine projects. If you choose to install every piece of software, it’ll take up around 13 GB of space. You’ll get Maschine, Massive, an 8GB library of goodies, and 24 separate effect plugins. The Mikro comes with a bunch of great software and files. Using the knob, you can mess with parameters such as pitch, volume, or panning and then record it straight over your track. The step-sequencer works great if you need to quickly program a drum pattern.Īutomation is one way to make your grooves sound a little more interesting. The Mikro also has a really good step-sequencer. After creating a few patterns to your liking, you can quickly arrange them into a full song. You can tell that Native Instruments worked hard at creating a fast and efficient workflow. Maschine makes it easy to chop up a sample and load it into the drum pads. You can easily slice sample out of a clip with precision. If you are planning on doing a lot of sampling, the Mikro will help you out. Without using a mouse, the Mikro can control most of the software. What I like about the Mikro is that it can still control almost all aspects of the Maschine software despite it’s small size. It controls everything from scrolling through menus, to dialing in effects. There is only one rotary knob on the Mikro. Color coding your pads will make navigating through banks a lot easier. This controller has 28 buttons along with 16 touch sensitive multi-color pads. The Mikro comes in two colors Black or White. If for some reason you lose them, you can always download them off Native Instrument’s website. The included manuals are exactly what you’d expect. This also makes the Mikro super simple to setup Just plug, and play! If there’s one thing I hate about studio equipment, it’s messy wires. I liked the fact that the Mikro is 100% usb powered. You can never get mad when free stickers are included! With the Mikro MK2, you’ll get a usb cable, standard manuals, and a few Native Instruments’ decals.
I have seen other Nars packaging, like their recent Climax mascara that has more flash to it. It felt like a higher-end makeup product, but I wouldn’t call it a work of art. A heavy, glass bottle with a pump that appropriately dispensed small amounts of product. I then went over it with a slightly damp Beauty Blender for additional blending and to keep the product from drying before it was fully blended in. So I worked one pump at a time using my clean hands to dot it around the inside area of my face and blended outward. It also mentions that you should work a little at a time and that the product looks better over time on the skin as it lasts for up to 16 hours. The instructions say, and I also saw this reviewed online, that using your fingers is the best option because it warms up the fluid. But I do break out the Beauty Blender for higher coverage foundations. I also don’t think your makeup should require you to have a Fine Arts degree and $700 worth of tools just to apply it. Unlike the makeup artists you see on YouTube, I don’t have a ton of makeup beauty tools since my day-to-day is basically BB cream some mascara and call it a day. Your future looks radiant with Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation.” Well alright then. Specialized skin-matching technology ensures your truest match yet. It wears longer, stays stronger, and looks better with each hour. Its breathable, fade-resistant formula is infused with Raspberry, Apple, and Watermelon extracts to help smooth and improve the look of your skin instantly, and over time for full-powered radiance. Longwear is finally lightweight-and radiant. From their website, “Introducing NARS’ first 16-hour foundation that stays turned on by the power of radiance. Nars touts this as a long-wear, high-coverage foundation which looks like your skin but better. It all sounded up my alley so into my bin it went. The SA I talked to said she loves it and recommends it for her brides when she does their makeup. I mean, could it describe anymore to a T what I wanted? I like Nars as a brand and it had decent reviews. Is that so much to ask?īecause I was tired of the Armani Silk Luminous everyone throws my way when I ask for this type of coverage (to be fair it is good but not HG and I would not call it high-coverage) I wandered around Sephora until I found something that said what I was looking for – Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. Basically, I wanted to look natural and flawless. My requirements were that it doesn’t break down due to my dehydrated yet oily skin, won’t settle into lines or pores, and has a skin-like radiance to it vs. On the hunt I went.īecause I knew I’d be out and about for a long time, I wanted a longer wear foundation. I wanted a new foundation because my go-tos were somewhat sheer and have SPF which can cause flash backs. However, when I have a glam party or something coming up I’ll do the whole get up from primer to setting spray. More because my skin is like a 3 year old toddler waiting to have a tantrum so when it’s sleeping (acting like an angel) I will do whatever I can to not wake the beast. On the day-to-day I am a minimal makeup kind of gal. 8/31/2023 0 Comments Exo debutSubsequent albums and EPs have also had strong sales, with all Korean studio albums each selling more than one million copies. It sold over one million copies, making EXO the best-selling Korean artist in twelve years. All of Exo's members also maintain solo careers in fields including music, film, and television.ĮXO's first album XOXO (2013), which contains the breakthrough hit "Growl", was a critical and commercial success. In 2019, Chanyeol and Sehun debuted as EXO's second official sub-unit, EXO-SC, and released their first EP, What a Life, in July 22. Since 2016, Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin have also released music and performed as a sub-unit named EXO-CBX. After the departures of Kris, Luhan, and Tao amid legal battles in 20, the band continued with the remaining nine members. EXO-K and EXO-M performed music in Korean and Mandarin, respectively, until the release of their third EP Overdose in 2014. Previously, the band debuted with twelve members separated into two sub-groups: EXO-K (Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai, and Sehun) and EXO-M (Xiumin, Lay, Chen, and former members Kris, Luhan, and Tao). Since 2014, EXO has exclusively performed as one group, while continuing to release and perform music in multiple languages. The band ranked as one of the top five most influential celebrities on the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity list each year from 2014 to 2018, and have been named "the biggest boy band in the world" and the "kings of K-pop" by media outlets. EXO releases and performs music in Korean, Mandarin, and Japanese. Their music incorporates genres like pop, hip-hop, and R&B, alongside electronic dance music genres like house, trap, and synth-pop.

Timeless Tibetan Buddhist prayers and chants to bless, illumine and awaken all beings are updated with meditative hip-hop rhythms and funkified bass.Īmerican Buddhist meditation teacher Lama Surya Das and Steven Halpern join spiritual and musical visions to create a unique version of healing music that brings us home to the inner peace, wholeness and spiritual well-being that is our birthright.Īncient Tibetan Buddhist prayers and chants to bless, illumine and awaken the heart of Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike. The disarming honesty of the many personal accounts he presents puts a friendly human face on an ancient tradition, yet the work as a whole lacks power and coherence.Ĭhants to Awaken the Buddhist Heart – Steven Halpern He counsels readers to cultivate a more authentic presence, for example, by learning to be natural, simple and open. Surya Das wishes to cut to the essence of Buddhist wisdom, while bolstering a general readership with a dawn-of-a-new-era pep talk: “As we enter a new century and a new millennium… it seems increasingly important to awaken our Buddha-like hearts through spiritual connections.” Unlike in his first two books Awakening the Buddha, an explication of Tibetan Buddhism, and Awakening the Sacred, an attempt to describe spiritual values in nonsectarian terms here Surya Das initially seems to be trying to be all things to all people, and the advice he offers can feel flimsy or vague. Blending intimate anecdotes with wisdom gleaned from his decades of study with traditional Tibetan Buddhist teachers, the American-born author seeks to help readers to awaken this heart so that their everyday relationships may become a way to experience the meaningful interconnectedness and sacrednessness of life. The “Buddhist heart” that Surya Das refers to in his third book turns out to be a good heart.

If, in one go, you also want to create a new local branch, you can use the "-c" parameter: $ git switch -c new-branch This will make the given branch the new HEAD branch. The most common scenario is to simply specify the local branch you want to switch to: $ git switch other-branch Simply double-click a branch in the sidebar to make it the new HEAD branch - or choose a branch from a list. In case you are using the Tower Git client, switching branches becomes easy as pie. This can be helpful if you want to often and quickly jump between two branches. When specifying just the "-" character instead of a branch name, Git will switch back to the last checked out branch. Using the "-discard-changes" flag will discard any of your current local changes and then switch to the specified branch. However, if you have local modifications that would conflict with the switched-to branch, Git would abort the switch. As a general rule, your working copy does NOT have to be clean before you can use "switch". Switch to the specified branch and discard any local changes to obtain a clean working copy. You can also specify a starting point (either another branch or a concrete revision) if you don't provide any specific starting point, the new branch will be based on the current HEAD branch. Using the "-c" flag, you can specify a name for a new branch that should be created. The name of a new local branch you want to create. If you specify the name of an existing local branch, you will switch to this branch and make it the current "HEAD" branch.īut you can also specify a remote branch: in that case, Git will create a new local branch based on that remote branch and set up a tracking relationship. The name of a local or remote branch that you want to switch to. It has a very clear and limited purpose: switching and creating branches! Important Options The "switch" command provides a simple alternative to "checkout". The problem with "checkout", however, is that it's a very versatile command: you can not only use it to switch branches, but also to discard changes, restore files, and much more. It's relatively new (added in Git v2.23) and provides a simpler alternative to the classic "checkout" command.īefore "switch" was available, changing branches had to be done with the "checkout" command. The "switch" command allows you to switch your current HEAD branch. 8/30/2023 0 Comments See halo statsThen input your username or game ID and press Enter.
