![]() The first generation of Hololive VTubers debuted from May to June 2018, and a second generation followed in August and September. This update enabled at-home auditions using the iPhone X. On 5 April 2018, Cover removed the application's AR features and changed it into a tool for mapping a user's facial movements onto animated avatars in real-time. On 21 December, the company released hololive, a smartphone app for iOS and Android enabling users to view virtual character live streams using AR camera technology. Ĭover debuted Tokino Sora ( ときのそら), the first VTuber using the company's avatar capture software, on 7 September 2017. Kizuna AI, who began the virtual YouTuber trend in 2016, was another likely inspiration. According to Tanigo, the idea for a "virtual idol" agency was inspired by other virtual characters, such as Hatsune Miku. Īt the end of March 2017, the company showcased a tech demo for a program enabling real-time avatar motion capture and interactive, two-way live streaming. ![]() Cover at first focused on augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) software, and received funding from incubator firms Tokyo VR Startups and Recruit.

The 8th generation introduces ambient lighting and updated trim. It offers keyless entry and interior and exterior improvements over the previous generation. The example here is upgraded, considering its vintage. This 2011 model is the final model to have the legendary K-series engine. ![]() It’s revered in auto mechanics enthusiast circles. The K20Z3 is a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with an 86 mm bore and an 86 mm stroke, four-stroke engine. Cylinders were made with cast iron sleeves, but the engine is built on an aluminum block. High revs were possible in this epic engine because it was built with forged internals. Descubre el poder de los sueños hoy mismo. The Civic Si was built with the K20Z3 engine up until 2011. Todos los vehículos Honda están diseñados y creados para liberar un mundo de emoción. Earlier versions, including the 2011, redlined at 8,000 rpm. Together, they produce 184hp, which is plenty. Why? Because it was a high-revving sports car that is as practical as it is fun. All versions of the Honda Civic use a hybrid setup, combining a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor. Ever since the “Sports injected” trim has been coveted by enthusiasts. The Si badge came out in 1985 on the beloved CRX hatchback. This car is a little slice of Honda performance at a relatively painless price. If you can find a 2011 Honda Civic Si with low mileage, grab it. The 2014 Honda Civic is available in coupe as well. Edmunds likes it because It’s comfortable to drive and is spacious for its size. It has excellent reviews across the board. On top of it all, this model delivers gas mileage that rivals hybrids. It integrates smartphones with a central display, making it one of the first models to have better tech. It’s a modern car, equipped with HondaLink. It won a five-star top safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the highest rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2014 Honda Civic also nailed it in safety. Automakers will rarely improve cars mid-generation. This was the result, in part, of new improvements Honda implemented, adjusting and fixing problems in the 2012 model, such as upgrading the continuous variable transmission (CVT). It has the fewest complaints of any other model, which means this model year is very reliable. Turbocharged engine standard on EX-L and Sport Touring. Pair the responsive CVT or available 6-speed manual transmission with the available 180-horsepower turbocharged engine to amplify the ride. The 2014 Honda Civic is one of the best Civics you can buy. With precise handling and powerful acceleration, the Civic Hatchback responds enthusiastically to your driving impulses. ![]() Unlike Amanda, Hoffman was not drawn to Jigsaw's side after one of his games. ![]() In his dying days, he makes Amanda part of another test, which ultimately kills her.īy the end of Saw III, both Amanda and John are dead, paving the way for a new Jigsaw heir in the form of Detective Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor). In Saw III, it's revealed that Amanda has begun rigging her games to make them essentially inescapable, removing a key tenet of John's work, which he eventually discovers. A drug addict who truly believes John saved her life by teaching her the value of it again, Amanda becomes John's apprentice as his cancer worsens, but while she's the heir apparent to Jigsaw, the two share some philosophical differences. The first of these is Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith), a character introduced in Saw as the only known survivor of a Jigsaw game to that point, and who re-emerges as an apparent victim in Saw II only to be revealed as John's accomplice by the end. This is because, over the course of the series, John Kramer adopts several people, including former test subjects, as his apprentices and allies, and while he's present in some form in every single film so far, these apprentices are often put front and center in the sequels. Once we get to the point of John's reveal as the killer, even when we're talking about the first sequels in the franchise, it's better to think of Saw continuity not as a straight line but as an increasingly complex knot, looping back over itself, circling around from the past to the present, and growing more and more twisted as time goes on. The key component here, of course, is that John actually has faith that people will change if they survive the test and learn the value of life, so his subjects are always given an opportunity to escape, even if it means they have to do something like lose a limb or, in some cases, kill another person. So, he abducts his victims and places them in "games" or "tests," elaborate traps that require them to do something violent, sacrificial, and horrible if they want to escape and survive. He believes there are people in the world who are suffering needlessly and hurting others needlessly because they don't value life enough, a feeling bolstered by his terminal brain cancer diagnosis. ![]() John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is a brilliant engineer who has developed a particularly potent philosophy that drives his killings. ![]() It is through the franchise's very first twist ending that we discover the Jigsaw Killer's real identity. Saw, we learn, is a place where we should expect brutal death traps, tense morality plays, characters who often mean more than they seem to at first glance, and of course, twist endings. In this first film, which largely revolves around the saga of two men (Cary Elwes and Leigh Whannell, who also wrote the film) trying to escape from a single dingy room, we get several of the key hallmarks of the saga at once. Saw, the first film in the series, takes its name from a pair of hacksaws that form a crucial piece of its intimate, nerve-shredding plot, but also from The Jigsaw Killer, a name given to a particularly mischievous murderer so named because of his tendency to carve puzzle piece-shaped chunks of skin out of his victims. Let's dive into this little game, and of course be warned that there are spoilers for the entire series so far below. It would be impossible to contain every twist, every trap, every demented game from the franchise in a single summation, but we're going to hit the major beats and the overall vibe of the series along the way. If you're looking to relive the best traps and deaths, Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Saw IV (2007), Saw V (2008), Saw VI (2009), Saw: The Final Chapter (2010) and Jigsaw (2017) are all streaming now on Peacock. With that much mayhem and destruction, it feels like a good idea to remind ourselves how we got here. To date, the Saw films have a lengthy history of making us squirm in our seats through nine brutal films stretching all the way back to 2004. It's never a bad time to revisit one of the scariest, goriest horror franchises in modern history - so with a big chunk of the Saw franchise now streaming on Peacock - we take a deep dive into making sense of the twisty, tricky Jigsaw continuity that ties it all together. ![]() I wanted something that felt a bit celebratory, because it had that little bit of champagne. We’re showing at the Pierre Hotel and it’s my 15th anniversary. Why, out of the entire Cocktail Couture collection, was the French 75 chosen for New York Fashion Week? What was the inspiration for your runway this season? That signature can be very exuberant and wild, but it really is them. People that have great style I think have a signature. I think having great style isn’t always about simplicity like a drink, but it’s about finding a signature. It’s all about the simple ingredients that make it so good, which is probably why a classic drink like the French 75 has been around for so long. Sometimes the best cocktail can be in its simplicity. What makes a great cocktail, and what makes great style? I’d say it’s definitely been my go-to lately. I’m a big fan of a lemon twist, so I love that. So many people drink gin cocktails, which I guess I wasn’t aware of before this partnership. I think when I started working on this project, I kept ordering it. The French 75 may be your favorite gin drink, but is it your go-to order? And then, all the classic Bombay Sapphire, the beautiful blue, the idea of jewelry, all of that came up. ![]() We have a lot of ballerina things going on, so it all worked together. My collection is actually inspired a lot by ballet and vintage paintings and the Royal Opera House, so we have a lot of French undertones. The fabric in that dress is made of beading and embroidery. For the runway, we have one really beautiful couture piece that was inspired by the French 75, which is my favorite gin drink. Sometimes, when you collaborate, not everybody encourages you to be inspired and make something and I’m like, “Okay, I can do that.” I was really excited to be inspired by something different: classic Bombay cocktails. I was really excited when the team reached out. How did your partnership with Bombay come to be? What was your creative approach with the project? As Sia performs “Chandelier” and “Diamonds” in a voluminous pastel pink gown, the show, and NYFW, is off to a very strong start.īefore the show, got the chance to speak with Siriano about his collection, his career, the state of the industry and, fittingly, his favorite Bombay Sapphire cocktail to celebrate all of it with. The buzz around the grand ballroom provides a dull echo that loudens as soon as the “Nasty” singer steps through the floral arches that accent the room. Celebrities and Siriano stans like Janet Jackson, Avril Lavigne, and Laverne Cox are seated in the front row. Sparkling and radiant, the gown is a party in itself. In particular, the French 75 gown, made with beading, embroidery, chiffon, and Bombay Sapphire-dyed fabrics, was chosen to make its breathtaking debut on Siriano’s latest runway. In a limited-edition capsule collection, the designer imagines four Bombay Sapphire cocktails as couture: the Bombay Martini, the Bombay & Tonic, the Bombay Tom Collins, and, of course, the Bombay French 75. What’s more, Siriano is the latest collaborator in Bombay Sapphire’s “Saw This, Made This” campaign. Today is the first official day of New York Fashion Week. ![]() The milestone season 20 finale of the hit reality TV series just aired with Siriano as the host. Not only is the designer celebrating 15 years in business (he won Project Runway in 2007 and subsequently launched his eponymous label in 2008), but he’s a Time100 Honoree and a trailblazer in an increasingly inclusive industry. The venue is no accident: Siriano’s ballet-inspired collection demands a grandiose, celebratory mood. Held at the iconic Pierre Hotel in New York City, a relic of gilded glory, the floor-to-ceiling murals and elaborate moldings are far from the most opulent items in your line of sight. ![]() Backstage at Christian Siriano’s spring/summer 2024 show, the general atmosphere is electric. ![]() That’s fine in a Palo Alto parking lot but potentially less so at your local Tesco Express. Tesla claims the doors need less space than the sliding variant often seen on big MPVs, although in our experience the sensors seemed keen to have plenty of room to work with. This is particularly noticeable when exiting the third row, a process that is normally ripe with trip hazards. The advantage of the doors is that they lever a significant portion of the roof off, meaning that occupants simply slide out without having to scrunch themselves into the right shape first. They are also extravagantly exhibitionist any child emerging from their shadow can expect (for a good while, at least) to be stared at.Įgress from them, though, is impressively unimpeded. Other features of note include the ‘canopy’ windscreen, which Tesla claims is the biggest of any production car in the world, fully motorised front doors and a pair of motorised and uniquely folding ‘falcon wing’ rear doors, hinged in two places, that are said to offer peerless convenience and easy access.īut it’s the rear doors – which bring to mind a DeLorean and about a dozen other sci-fi movie props – that are the real coup de grâce.Īdmittedly, they take some getting used to they are neither speedy nor particularly elegant in their mechanism, and nor are they as solidly put together as a conventional alternative. ![]() Rarely for an EV, the car is rated for towing of more than two tonnes on a braked trailer. Steel coil springs are standard but can be upgraded to height-adjustable air suspension, the latter producing up to 211mm of ground clearance on request – a respectable amount for the very occasional off-roading the car is likely to do. The Model X uses the same suspension configuration as the Model S, with double wishbones at the front and multi-links at the rear. ![]() Its rear motor is swapped out for a bigger one with a peak of 503bhp. There is a 100D at upper-middle level and, for those for whom only ‘ludicrous speed’ will do, there’s the 611bhp, 713lb ft P100D range-topper. The 75D has a total power output of 329bhp, while the 90D we’re testing produces 416bhp, along with 487lb ft, available instantly and from a standstill. In the cases of the lower-end 75D and 90D models, those motors are rated for up to 259bhp each, although the peak power they make is governed by how much power can be drawn from the drive battery. All versions of the car are four-wheel drive, powered by three-phase electric motors cradled between each axle. The Model X is built on the same platform as the Model S, so it is predominantly made from extruded aluminium reinforced with boron steel. In theory, that ought to translate into tidier handling than the class’s norm and also make it resistant to rollover. It’s no surprise that the car is heavy, but Tesla’s claim is that the Model X has a lower centre of gravity than any car in the large SUV class. Its roof is lower than you might expect – the car is less than 1.7 metres tall, when plenty of rivals approach 1.8m – and it has most of its mass concentrated under the cabin floor, where that battery is carried. The Model X, however, takes a fresh angle on SUV design and uses that extra weight to its advantage. That will make Tesla ownership about twice as affordable as it currently is. Tesla, being at once a long way from done and ever-keen to talk of its plans, already began talking up the Tesla Model 3 compact saloon before its first seven-seater had rolled out of the factory. ![]() But the Model S has emphatically succeeded, and it is now a bigger-selling car than almost any other full-sized limousine in the world. Growth of that kind doesn’t tend to come easy, and there have, of course, been safety controversies, recalls and a few corporate scandals to keep the gossip mill spinning. So while only a brave few were willing to risk their motoring happiness on an electrified sports car at the turn of the current decade, some 50,000 buyers a year are now switching their preference from fossil fuels to battery power and buying a Tesla Model S executive saloon. The Roadster, now long discontinued, reached fewer than 3000 homes over its four-year life cycle by way of contrast, Tesla delivered more than 76,000 other new cars last year alone. ![]() Personal information we collect may include: We collect personal information in a variety of ways detailed in the How we Collect Personal Information section.

![]() ![]() It is activated when swallowing which is why swallowing helps relieve the pressure buildup in the ear when changing altitude especially noticeable when flying. When contracted it has two effects: it tenses the palatal aponeurosis which anchors other muscles, so it acts as a synergist to their actions and importantly also helps open the eustachian tube to equalize the pressure in the middle ear. It inserts on a band of connective tissue that runs along the posterior edge of the hard palate. All of these reflexes and responses and the passive elastic properties of the CP may contribute to the generation of tone in the CP and UES.This paired muscle, the tensor veli palatini originates over an area that includes the medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid, the spine of the sphenoid and importantly on the lateral surface of the cartilage that forms the eustachian (auditory) tube. The UES or CP also contracts with arousal or with changes in posture. The pharyngo-UES and pulmonary-UES reflexes may generate the respiratory rhythm often observed on UES pressure or electromyographic activity. Inflation of the lungs causes contraction of the CP and UES, which is mediated by a vago-vagal reflex. Pressure on the pharyngeal mucosa contracts the CP and UES and is mediated by a glossopharyngo-vagal reflex. Distension of the esophagus causes contraction of the CP and UES, which is mediated by a vago-vagal reflex. Various reflexes control the tone of the CP. Therefore, the CP motoneurons may not generate CP tone. Pharyngeal motoneurons often have a respiratory rhythm, but not a spontaneous background discharge. These motoneurons are topographically organized with other pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles and the striated muscle esophagus. The motoneurons of the CP are found in the nucleus ambiguus, and the innervation is ipsilateral for animal species in which the CP has a median raphe. ![]() Parasympathetic ganglia and various peptides (galanin, cGRP, VIP, neuropeptide Y, substance P, tyrosine hydroxylase) have been found in the CP, but their role in control of the CP is unknown. The GLN may be sensory the sympathetics may innervate the mucosa, blood vessels, and glands but no functional innervation by the RLN has been identified. Only the PE and SLN provide motor fibers to the CP. The CP is innervated by branches of the vagus nerves: pharyngoesophageal (PE), superior laryngeal (SLN), and recurrent laryngeal (RLN) glossopharyngeal (GPN) and cervical sympathetics. The high compliance of the CP allows it to be opened by distraction of other muscles (e.g., geniohyoideus) or increased intraluminal pressure. A passive tone in the CP is present and increases through all degrees of stretch. The optimum length of the CP for development of active tension is about 1.7 times resting length therefore, in some respects the CP acts more like cardiac than striated muscle. In humans and rats, but not other animals, the CP has no median raphe. The fibers may attach to the connective tissue framework, forming a muscular net. The CP is a striated muscle composed of variable-sized small (25-35 microm) muscle fibers that are primarily type I (slow twitch), highly oxidative, and contain abundant (40%) endomysial elastic connective tissue. ![]() All 3 muscles may at times function to maintain tone in the UES, but only the CP contracts and relaxes in all physiologic states consistent with the UES. The upper esophageal sphincter (UES) is composed of the cricopharyngeus (CP), thyropharyngeus (TP inferior pharyngeal constrictor in humans), and cranial cervical esophagus. While OpenAI is shoring up their filters and trying to block misuse of their algorithms, several Chinese companies are reportedly working on their own derivations of the ChatGPT formula. One of the major concerns raised as early as January of this year is the potential for misuse of AI tools CheckPoint’s demonstration that it was possible to circumvent the OpenAI filters and prompt it to generate a phishing emailwas only one of multiple warning signs the ability of OpenAI tools to generate malicious code was also discussed, leading to some concern of “democratization” and freer access to malware. Since the initial wave of excitement, including Google’s Code Red and Microsoft’s announced integration of AI tools into Bing, there is a constant trickle of news and developments in this sphere. ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing, and other AI toolsĪI tools have been a popular topic recently. The attack on the City of Oakland’s computerized data and the subsequent leak of some of it serves as a reminder that while archives and backups will allow you to retain access to your data, there are still risks present and prevention should always be a first priority. A pooling service related to car and bus, Pierce Transit was hit by ransomware blocking access to some systems and stealing some 300 GB of “confidential data.” LockBit Ransomware group claimed responsibility for the incident on February 28th 2023, and is reportedly demanding $10 million to free up the data from their malware.ĭisaster recovery measures continue to be key to preventing the worst effects here, including keeping your data stored in an archive and backup as a final line of defense. Other actors are busy on the ransomware front as well news broke recently of State of Washington-based Pierce Transit having their systems locked by a file-encrypting malware on February 14th of this year. ![]() Organizations that find themselves targeted are asked to pay a sum ranging between $1m to $11 million which needs to be paid in Bitcoins. Ransomware continues to be a major hazard for businessesĪs noted above, the Royal Ransomware group (which took off in September 2022) continues to cause a headache and represents a major threat to companies. ![]() Other developments, such as the continuing rise of chatbots and AI tools, buck expectations and bear watching. Ransomware continues to rear its head as a potential hazard – CISA of the United States has issued a warning to all public and private entities to be wary of the Royal Ransomware group, for example. Since then, some are shaping up to reflect reality. With the first quarter of the year drawing towards an end, it’s a good time to look at the online security situation so far, compare it with predictions from the end of last year, and generally present a Q1 2023 cybersecurity update.Īt the close of last year, we collated a group of predictions and expectations for 2023.
