Its walls covered in family snapshots and business cards, some dating from the restaurant’s founding in 1938, Wo Hop prides itself on knowing its faithful customers - and their kids - by name, a testament to the sense of community on offer here. “I count myself among the Wo Hop regulars who know that walking down the funky steps at 17 Mott means entering old-school Chinatown dining in a 10-table restaurant that will never be replicated. Grace Young, Author of Stir-Frying to the Sky’s Edge and The Breath of a Wok, and Producer of Coronavirus: Chinatown Stories We don’t know each other by name, but we know each other through the expression of food.” “The waitstaff has worked there forever, and there is a certain unspoken bond we hold with them they know what we want to order how our mood is often offering a bad Cantonese joke if they could sense you were having a rough day. They also give you free soup, usually bone broth Chinese restaurants have been serving this for years before it ever became a millennial trend. Our absolute go-to is the salt and pepper squid over rice with a runny egg. “We go to the upstairs, and we just about always order the same dishes. Jennifer Tam + Victoria Lee, Founders of Welcome to Chinatown They serve their egg foo young on a pedestal - like this silver platter that is literally elevated above all the other foods - and I think it’s just so special.” Wo Hop does an incredible brown sauce that is best expressed over their mushroom egg foo young. And everyone chalks it to up Chinese American food being sweeter, but it’s not just sweeter it’s like the set of techniques and the approaches are a little different. It’s similar to Hong Kong cooking, but it’s a little different. Maybe it’s because I’m foreign but Chinese American food is so, so interesting to me. “I know a lot of Chinese people who don’t like Wo Hop. The waitstaff here seem gruff at first but they actually love to chat, and the clientèle is definitely not hipster - it’s a mix of Chinese and what look like working class, outer-borough New Yorkers, who also seem like they’ve been coming here for decades.” “Old-school Cantonese places will always have a complementary soup as an appetizer and a red bean soup for dessert if you ask nicely for it. It’s not a place for delicate, subtle cooking. On the side, we order the fried dumplings, which admittedly are fried to a crisp and then drizzled in heavy oyster sauce. White rice is the perfect companion to soak up the tasty oiliness from the fish and vegetables. The flounder is glistening and flavorful, with the perfect amount of crunch. “We order the pan-fried flounder cubes with choy sum underneath. It only works for two people, which is why my husband and I don’t like to share with our kids, haha. I grew up going to Wo Hop Upstairs and have eaten the exact same meal every single time. Don’t trust anyone who says they like both. “There’s a Wo Hop Upstairs and a Wo Hop Downstairs and anyone who’s a Wo Hop devotee definitely has a preference. Joanne Kwong, President of Pearl River Mart Here are what five Wo Hop regulars had to say about this mythical institution, a shrine to a bygone era. “I bet 115 people are going to say Wo Hop,” said Lucas Sin, the chef at the New York-based homestyle Chinese chain, Junzi Kitchen. Yet when we quizzed a number of Chinatown patrons on where they loved to eat, Wo Hop came up repeatedly. In a city that has recently seen a boom in regional Chinese restaurants from Yunnanese to Hunanese, one might relegate Wo Hop and its Chinese American menu as a relic of New York’s culinary past.

On a Sierra machine (10.12), the older presets were automatically converted after waiting a few minutes however, nothing happened on a High Sierra machine (10.13). Unfortunately, I found this conversion didn’t always work. This enables you to preview a color preset applied to a clip by skimming over the effect thumbnail. Previously created presets for the color board will be converted into color preset effects, which now appear in the effects browser. Ironically the color board actually seems to achieve more accurate correction than the color wheels. So for me, the ergonomics are poor. In my testing, I’ve also hit some flaws in how the processing is done ( more on that in a future post). You can’t move the controls around and there is no special color correction workspace. My biggest beef is that you are limited to the controls being locked within the inspector pane. While not quite as fluid of a grading workflow as you’d have in a true color correction application, like Resolve, you can get pretty close with some experience. There are also additional keyboard commands to quickly step through effects or clips on your timeline. Final Cut Pro X sports robust performance, so you can apply several layers of correction to a clip and still have real-time playback without rendering. Once you start color correcting, you can add more instances of any of these four tools in any combination. There’s a preference setting for which of these four color tools is the default effect when first applying color correction (CMD+6). However, the color board didn’t go away however. All are elegantly designed, operate quite fluidly, and generally mimic what you can do in DaVinci Resolve. With this update, you’ve gained three new, native color tools, including color wheels, curves, and hue vs. Clearly users want choice and that’s a good thing. Yet, I have heard from at least one plug-in developer that their color corrector plug-in sales are staying stable. With the release of FCPX 10.4, it’s hard for me to see why FCPX diehards would still buy a color correction plug-in. The lack of a more advanced color correction interface opened the field for third party color correction plug-in developers who came up with some great tools. While the color board was and is effective, as well as a bit deceptive in what you can accomplish, it was an instant turn-off for many. It substituted sliders on a color swatch for the standard curves and color wheel controls that editors had been used to. There are four new, marquee features in this release: advanced color correction tools, 360° editing, HDR (wide gamut) color space support, and HEVC/H.265 codec support for editing and encoding.įinal Cut Pro X was first launched with a color correction tool called the color board. The minimum OS requirement is 10.12.4, but 10.13 or later is recommended. This version will still run on a wide range of recent and older Macs. There are changes under the hood tied to technologies in High Sierra (macOS 10.13), which won’t get much press, but are very important in the development and operation of an application. In the broader ecosystem, we also saw updates for macOS High Sierra, Logic Pro X, Pixelmator Pro, and Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve.įinal Cut Pro X (“ten”), version 10.4 is the fifth major release of Apple’s professional NLE in a little over six years. December finally delivered the much-anticipated simultaneous release of new versions of Apple Final Cut Pro X, Motion, and Compressor – all on the same day as the iMac Pro officially went on sale.

This is because most peppers should only be moved outdoors when the nighttime temperatures are consistently above 55☏. However, our recommended sowing dates are about 6 weeks before the average last frost date. Generally speaking, pepper seeds should be planted indoors about 8 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Just be sure you have the indoor space and a good grow light for the plants. However, planting early can sometimes be helpful, especially for superhot pepper varieties that take a long time to ripen fruits. We have experimented with planting peppers early, but we have found it is best to keep them indoors for as short a time as is truly necessary. In extremely cold climates, you may choose to plant a bit earlier the extend the growing season a few extra weeks.Ĭheck your specific location’s last frost date here.

To make things a bit easier, I’ve created a pepper planting table that shows when to plant pepper seeds indoors for each hardiness zone (excluding those that are too cold for peppers). It can be tricky to know when to plant pepper seeds, as it depends on your specific location. As a result, most gardeners have to wait to plant pepper seeds until the winter weather is almost gone. In fact, Executive Order 9066 authorized the Department of War to exclude people from designated military areas but did not mention detention. However, neither Executive Order 9066 nor Public Law 503 indicated specific procedures or limitations of military conduct. Congress then granted the Executive “positive assistance of statutory authority” for the order after its issuance via Public Law 503. Internment was conducted by the military, which was delegated the power by Executive Order 9066. Senator Douglas's comments reflect how liberals in 1950 viewed Japanese American internment as a problematic constitutional precedent. In Senator Douglas's view, the problem of the Japanese American internment lay precisely in the broad category of those who were detained:į it is asserted that the Executive may be empowered under the Constitution to institute a detention program anyway, I can only repeat that it is far better to give it explicit authority to act, so that we know what it can do- and enact along with that authority the essential safeguards for individual freedom which are in the due-process provisions of this bill. Senator Douglas criticized the communist registration bill saying that it resembled “the blunderbuss” while the Emergency Detention Act was “more like that of a rifle” that accurately hit those who really threatened national security. He Kilgore bill gives the President and Attorney General the positive assistance of statutory authority for our essential job with procedures clearly understood and to a lesser degree previously employed, in alien enemy internment and war relocation cases. As Senator Douglas introduced the emergency detention bill to Congress, he compared it with both the conservative-backed communist registration bill and security measures taken during World War II: In contrast to the wartime Congress in which there was virtually no opposition to internment, Congress in 1950 underwent heated discussions when Democratic senators introduced the emergency detention bill. The drafters of Title II, therefore, looked into wartime incarceration of enemy aliens as they wrote the Emergency Detention Act, modeling the legislation after Japanese American internment. While trying to look tough, liberals tried to minimize the encroachment of governmental powers into individual liberties. Liberal politicians designed Title II to provide legal protection of civil liberties when the government resorted to preventive detention of potential subversives during a national security emergency. The Legal Legacy of Japanese American Internment: Invention of Enemy Non-Aliens and a Shift in the Discursive National Border Guardian demons that appeared as a hybrid of animals were an amalgamation of traits meant to be feared and to differentiate them from deities associated with humanity. Their appearance was based on a hybrid of an animal or a human and was denoted so the dead could recognize them. A guardian demon was tied to a specific place, such as Duat. In the case of Ammit, she was a guardian demon. Demons in ancient Egyptian religion had supernatural powers and roles, but were ranked below the gods and did not have a place of worship. During the New Kingdom, deities and demons were differentiated by having a cult or center of worship. Instead, Ammit was feared and believed to be a demon rather than a deity, due to her role as the 'devourer of the dead'. Unlike other gods featured in ancient Egyptian religion, Ammit was not worshipped. 300-250 BCE) from the Ptolemaic Period, portrayed Ammit with the head of a crocodile, and the body of a dog. The coffin lid of Ankh-hor, a chief from the twenty-second dynasty featured Ammit bearing the head of a hippopotamus, and the body of a dog with rows of paps. Around the twenty-first dynasty, the Judgment of the Dead scene was painted on the interior and exterior of coffins. A stylistic shift occurred, during the Third Intermediate Period. In this scene, Ammit is shown with other Egyptian gods in Duat, waiting to learn if she can consume the heart of the deceased. She appeared in scenes showing the Judgment of the Dead, in tombs and funerary papyri. During the eighteenth dynasty, the crocodile-lion-hippopotamus hybrid was the conventional depiction of Ammit. Versions of the Book of the Dead from the New Kingdom started to include Ammit. Iconography Īmmit showed at the Weighing of Ani's heart from the Papyrus of Ani. In ancient Egyptian religion, Ammit played an important role during the funerary ritual, the Judgment of the Dead.Īmmit ( Ancient Egyptian: ꜥm-mwt Ʒmt mwtw ) means 'devourer of the dead" ('Devoureress of the Dead' ) or ' Swallower of the Dead', where ꜥm is the verb 'to swallow', and mwt signifies 'the dead', more specifically the dead who had been adjudged not to belong to the akhu 'blessed dead' who abided by the code of truth ( ma'at). JSTOR ( March 2020) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Īmmit ( / ˈ æ m ɪ t/ Ancient Egyptian: ꜥm-mwt, " Devourer of the Dead" also rendered Ammut or Ahemait) was an ancient Egyptian goddess with the forequarters of a lion, the hindquarters of a hippopotamus, and the head of a crocodile-the three largest "man-eating" animals known to ancient Egyptians.Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

Once installed, Norton 360 Advanced prompts you to add email addresses, bank details, addresses and any other personal information you’d like to have it monitor for inclusion in breaches traded on the dark web. I appreciated how clearly it was signposted and presented as an opt-in, rather than opt-out, choice. This is generally beneficial, but should be avoided if you work with confidential or privileged documents. You also get Dark Web monitoring – to alert you if information associated with your email address is being traded on the dark web – and School Time distraction management tools to lock down unauthorised programs for children engaged in remote learning.Įxclusively to the Norton 360 Advanced tier, you get cover for 10 devices, Identity Restoration Support and Social Media Monitoring, which watches over you or your children’s Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram accounts for scams, inappropriate content, impersonation or harassment.Īt install time, you’re prompted to join Norton CommunityWatch, which sends back data for analysis. Norton 360 Advanced encompasses all of the features from lower tiers, including malware protection, a password manager, parental controls and webcam protection against unexpected apps trying to access your camera. When you activate a product key, you’re prompted to enable automatic renewal by default, but it’s possible to cancel this. So you’re best buying codes at retail, and you’ll definitely want to disable automatic renewals. Go to Amazon (or any other online or high-street retailer that sells Norton codes) and you’ll find a 12-month subscription for the same service for £35.99. Norton 360 Advanced costs £39.99 for the first year, but then goes up to £149.99 for subsequent years. Getting an initial year’s Norton subscription from the official website is conspicuously cheap, but watch out for those renewal fees at full RRP. As you’d expect, the more you pay for the service, the more features you get but the number of devices on which you can install the software depends on which product you buy. There are also Standard and Deluxe tiers, as well as the cheaper Norton Antivirus Plus. This used to be called Norton 360 Premium, and retail keys for that product will convert into Norton 360 Advanced subscriptions. I’m reviewing Norton 360 Advanced, the most expensive, most feature-packed version of the suite. Norton is clearly a behemoth of the home antivirus world, but can it hold its place as one of the best antivirus suites around? Here are my thoughts. Norton 360 Advanced includes a web dashboard that, along with listing your installed devices and online backups, can help you keep an eye on your credit rating, check for your personal data appearing in online breaches and provides all-inclusive helpline numbers in case you lose your wallet or fear that you’re the victim of identity fraud, with experts who can stay on hand and help you contact relevant institutions and authorities. Norton is a venerable name in antivirus, and its malware-detection engine is among the most widely tested – which means we have plenty of solid, long-term evidence of its performance. They also provide a convenient view over ongoing tasks and updates, like phone calls or arrival times.
