![]() Trust me, its a great one.īoth musicals can found on Youtube in parts to watch. This is a beautiful musical with many of my favorite songs and it has also made me cry because of the beauty of two of the characters. The second is The Most Beautiful DEATH in the World which revolves around mysterious murders and two fallen Shinigamis. The first was That Butler, Friendship which is about three new mysterious guests from Japan and the trouble that surrounds them when they arrive at Ciel Phantomhives manor for a ball. With such a popular manga and anime, two musicals have been created and released. That Butler, Friendship and The Most Beautiful DEATH in the World There are many more but its best to watch the anime or read the manga to see how they all tie in to Ciel and Sebastian. You also meet other nobles such as Ciels aunt, Madame Red and Ciels fiancee, Elizabeth Middleford. His death scythe (the weapon he uses to reap souls) is in the form a chainsaw, which is unsual since the series takes place in a Victorian era London. Next is Grell Sutcliff, a shinigami who loves the color red. Another is Tanaka who was the head butler before Sebastian but now is always seen drinking from a Japanese tea cup. Others in the series are the three Phantomhive servants: Bardroy, Mey-Rin, and Finnian who provide much of the comic relief for the series. He also gets very frustrated at the others in Ciels staff due to their incompetence. This demon is one whos very seductive and ready to defend his master by any means. His story is sad and though hes the queens watchdog, hes still a young boy.Īlways at Ciels side, saying yes, my lord, is Sebastian Michaelis. Hes a cold and at many times emotionless due to his past being held captive as a slave by a cult. He also works for the Queen in order to solve problems that plague England. Hes just twelve-years old and already overseeing a large toy and sweets manufacturer called Funtom Company. All the characters are unique in their own way.įirst you meet Ciel Phantomhive who makes a deal with a demon. Youre introduced to not only demons but angels who are seemingly good but not quite, ghosts who need to pass on, and Shinigamis (grim reapers or death gods if you will) who reap the souls of humans with their weapons. Another thing I love about him is a line he often states which is a pun on his devilish nature, Im simply one hell of a butler. Characters Galoreīlack Butler is one of those animes filled with characters that you love, hate, and just want to hug. A little gruesome but its a filled with many jokes and beautiful characters like Sebastian who is a strange demon that likes cats so much that he gets distracted of the task at hand. ![]() Though once the contact is fulfilled and Ciel finds his parents murderer, then Sebastian will be able to eat Ciels soul. Soon after, Sebastian is named by Ciel and becomes his butler, serving his masters every wish. In order to exact revenge on his parents murderer, he makes a Faustian deal with a demon whom appears to take the form of a crow. The setting is Victorian London and Ciel Phantomhive is the last of his family. Welcome to Black Butler.īuy on Amazon: Black Butler – Series 1 Part 1 Simply One Hell of a Butlerīlack Butler, also known as Kuroshitsuji, is a manga created by Yana Toboso thats has been turned into an anime which I was introduced to by a friend of mine.

Change your default search engine: It’s no secret Google tracks everything you do and then uses that information to serve up ads.(Although, if you use a trustworthy VPN, it’s redundant to have DoH enabled in your browser.) MUO has a guide for enabling DoH in most modern browsers. Enable DNS over HTTPS (DoH): Web browsers are rolling out support for DoH, a protocol that increases privacy by encrypting DNS, which makes it much more difficult for someone-your internet service provider included-to snoop on your web browsing.VPNs can also change your location and IP address, making it more difficult for other parties to track you over time (though an untrustworthy company may still leak or monitor that same data). This prevents your internet service provider from seeing your online activities. Use a VPN: The browser extensions above hide the bulk of your activity while browsing, but a virtual private network (VPN) can add another layer of privacy by routing your traffic through a secure, encrypted connection.But in exchange for the occasional slight headache, companies will have a harder time tracking what you do online. Sometimes a browser extension might cause a website to display text strangely, prevent embedded images or tweets from loading on a page, or remove the little social media buttons that make it easy to share an article. Privacy almost always comes at the cost of usability. The ones included here are widely scrutinized, or created by reputable companies. So, while often useful, it’s best to avoid extensions unless you know exactly what they’re up to. In the last few years, we’ve seen a number of popular extensions turn out to be malware, and one very popular tab management extension was flagged and removed from the Chrome Web Store after the extension’s development changed hands. It’s rare for researchers to bother looking closely at extensions to make sure they’re above board. Like apps and desktop software, extensions are useful, but they can be a privacy nightmare. Dozens of other lower-profile browsers exist, but few get the security updates and support that most of us need in the software we use all day. The Tor Browser is the go-to for anonymity, especially in censored countries, but it’s unusable for most people as a daily browser. ![]() Brave is one of the more popular privacy-first browsers, but even it isn’t free of privacy-related controversies. Edge is based on Chromium and will work with the bulk of the Chrome extensions in this article, we haven’t tested it thoroughly. I’ve included links for both Chrome and Firefox, along with alternatives to our favorites, if they exist.Īs for other browsers, Apple’s Safari isn’t bad when it comes to privacy, but it lacks wide support for popular browser extensions. Regardless of which browser you use, a pack of extensions can increase your privacy by decreasing your exposure to trackers, as well as have the welcome side effect of boosting your security. (Most Chrome extensions will also work with Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi, though we haven’t fully tested them.) Of the two, I recommend Firefox if you prioritize privacy, as it’s much more focused on privacy out of the box compared with Chrome. Not all browsers offer the exact same extensions, but Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are the two most popular browsers, and the ones I focus on here. They are sometimes created by developers as a hobby project to solve a problem for themselves, but are also developed by larger companies as part of their own suite of software. But browser extensions are simple, generally free add-ons that you can use to slow down or break this type of data collection, without completely ruining your experience of using the internet.īrowser extensions, also called add-ons, are tiny bits of software you can download to add new features to your web browser. Everything you do online-from browsing to shopping to using social networks-is tracked, typically as behavioral or advertising data. Rather than having a single brain where all sensory information and motor controls are processed, they have nine brains. These Frankenstein products are used mostly in a remote-controlled sense (think an RC pigeon), such as sending a dogfish shark into hostile waters in order to detect explosives, or sending a flying beetle to buzz around a top-secret enemy base with a tiny camera strapped to it.Ĭorinn Sessions is an aspiring writer with big dreams and far too much free time on her hands.Picture this: Earth has made its first contact with an extraterrestrial species, and, as to be expected, their anatomy and nervous system are entirely different from our own. Other animals have had success in meriting the cyborg list: spiny dogfish sharks, turtles, beetles, geckos and pigeons. To put it in lay terms: its like a zombified moth brain controlling a robot. Scientists have been able to keep the brain receptive after death so that computers can interpret the signals and then translate it into robotic movements. There are robots that can use the electrical signals from extracted brains, neuron stews and decapitated heads to navigate around obstacles and essentially move about on their own. Robots controlled by an eel's brain, a soup of rat neurons, and a moth brain Armed with small battery-like backpacks that can relay GPS locations, as well as the electrical activity of either roach or rat, search and rescue teams can essentially have an RC pest go to places where they could never go. Since roaches and rats are perfectly built to scurry into dark and cramped places, they were the perfect candidates to venture into said places to find victims of disasters. Scientists have been able to implant electrodes in the brains of rats and cockroaches in order to influence the direction they go. These particular examples may incite shivers and gag reflexes in some, but to a trapped victim of a natural disaster they could look like strange yet tiny miracles. Rats, cockroaches as disaster search and rescue Even after the microbes die - the average life expectancy is about two days - the cellborg humidity sensor is still able to function. Such technology could allow scientists to use these little guys to detect hazardous gases or substances. Get this - the microbes are four times more accurate than any piece of hardware a laboratory can spit out. Similarly, the microbes shrink when humidity is low. When the humidity is high, the microbes swell. Scientists have covered the bacteria in gold plating to detect humidity in controlled environments. The humble microbe has been engineered by nature itself so what it is able to do, it does it magnificently. So, add in a leech brain and the thing might be able to think for itself. Maybe I can piece it together with the information I do have." Computers are generally stupid, unless there is a person there to tell it what to do. Computers do very well when every piece of the equation is there, but if some variable is absent it can't very well sit back and think, "Something is missing. While computers have been able to do simple and complex computations for some time, the fact that this particular computer has organic tissue at its core means it could overpower the traditional computer by filling in the gaps of missing information. These are some examples of the useful, yet questionable, uses of cyborg technology:īack in 1999 scientists were able to create a computer fired by a leech's brain to do simple computations. ![]() And no, these aren't uses for human cyborgs - although many would find the idea rather amusing - these are the joining of nature's own creatures and the brainchildren of scientists. Specific uses of such advances range anywhere from surveillance to disaster relief. While the future of cyborgs is uncertain, there are still very real advances in utilizing the amalgamation of organic tissues and technological hardware. ![]() SALT LAKE CITY - The stuff of science fiction never ceases to amaze, especially when it comes to things that involve artificial intelligence and robots.

Sheila is incensed that Garrison would stage a nativity scene for a school play and demands to know why he would cast her son, who is Jewish, in the role of Joseph.

I suppose I could have planned it out better, but maybe they should be paired? I realize that Tuesday’s special revolved around a fart and this one will center its plot on a poop. This episode is also a musical, which is something the creators would obviously return to time and again both with South Park and outside of it. Hankey for something inoffensive and the special would work for any network, provided the swearing was also dropped. We’ll get more into it as we go through it, but it’s interesting that you could basically swap Mr. Since it’s also South Park, it subverts some Christmas tropes and adds a healthy amount of gross-out humor to the mix to make it something not broadcast network friendly. It tackles a relatable and sometimes overlooked aspect of Christmas which is how do the Jewish kids feel? This part of the special came from Stone, who is Jewish and had to deal with seeing all of his non-Jewish friends receive presents from Santa as a kid. Hankey the Christmas Poo” is the first of several Christmas episodes the show would air and it’s still the show’s best. It was so convincing that I recall many a friend at the time that would insist that’s how the show was animated, or it was only the first season that was, but in truth it was almost all of it as only the pilot contained some true stop-motion. The show had a very distinct style to it as it was animated on computers, but in such a way that it resembled stop-motion paper dolls like the original short that spawned the series. The show about four foul-mouthed kids who seem to live amongst the most over reactive collection of adults in the world was an instant hit and creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker suddenly found themselves amongst celebrities and the like. South Park burst onto the scene in 1997 and basically transformed the Comedy Central network from the get-go. “By expanding the universe of these franchises, we are unlocking significant value within ViacomCBS’ treasure chest of IP, and this is just the beginning.Today we are continuing our look back at the best of the best when it comes to Christmas specials and today’s entrant comes from the quiet, mountain, town of South Park. “‘South Park’ and ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ are two of the most successful and widely known adult animation IP in the history of the genre, and I am thrilled that Paramount Plus will be their exclusive new SVOD home,” said Chris McCarthy, chief content officer of unscripted entertainment and adult animation for Paramount Plus. Additionally, a new season of “Beavis and Butt-Head” and all previous episodes will stream exclusively on Paramount Plus. After going through a black hole, they reemerge in our time, where they look for love, misuse iPhones and are hunted by the Deep State. Their obsession with a docking simulator leads to a trip on the Space Shuttle, with disastrous results. Described as “perhaps the dumbest space movie ever made,” the film follows Beavis and Butt-Head as they’re sentenced to Space Camp by a “creative” judge in 1998. ViacomCBS announced the news at their Investors Event, during which they also revealed that a new “ Beavis and Butt-Head” film titled “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe” will premiere on Paramount Plus. ![]() today with a donation-any amount that is meaningful to you.

These are perilous times that call upon us to do more. And conversations about the historical contributions of African Americans, members of the LGBTQIA community and women have been removed from state curricula. Teachers and librarians have been threatened or fired. Women’s and gender studies departments have closed. We have witnessed our colleagues at colleges around the country being targeted or threatened. We are at a critical moment, as the battle lines have been drawn. At that time, there were only 11 states that had passed legislation it has since increased to 40 that have either passed legislation or are in discussion about doing so. The goal was to contextualize the perils of teaching CRT within schools and to provide resources and support. In December 2021, in response to the increase in legislation and political discussions about banning critical race theory (CRT), African American studies and queer studies, NWSA, Ms. and the Karson Institute for Race, Peace & Social Justice developed and released a CRT series for pre-kindergarten to 12th grade and college educators.

We did that with Dimension Drive, creating a dual screen shoot ’em up that allowed players to switch from one game screen to the other at will. One of the core principles at 2Awesome Studio is that we want to make games with innovative mechanics. ![]() We don’t want to restrict ourselves to a single genre or style of game. This is something we planned from the beginning of the series. It’s unusual to find a series that leapfrogs into a completely different genre, with Dimension Drive being a shoot ’em up and Aeon Drive being an action-platformer. Jackelyne and VERA crashland in Neo Barcelona and that’s the start of their new adventure. Aeon Drive starts a few years after the events of Dimension Drive - Jackelyne is no longer a teenager but a grown woman that has been through a lot. Without getting into many spoilers, let’s say that Dimension Drive had an unexpected ending for Jackelyne. How does Aeon Drive continue Jackelyne’s story? However, players that have experienced Dimension Drive will, of course, have extra bits and pieces of information that enhance the story of Aeon Drive. So, we made sure Aeon Drive was a self-contained story. It’s the first game we ever made!

When she heard the trumpet, though, her future was decided. Slaughter grew up in tiny, rural McCordsville, Indiana, and her only early music teachers were the "song evangelists" who visited her school. And the ease of virtuosity was extraordinary, the way she could toss off passages of incredible difficulty."Ĭhild prodigy? Not exactly. Almost always it was not just a straight note there was a little bit of vibrato, a little bit of expression. "Susan brought a kind of darkness to the sound. "It was a very big change from her predecessor," recalls Slatkin, who eventually took the reins of the SLSO and is now Music Director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. And a year after that, Slaughter was hired as a trumpet player. In 1968, Slatkin was hired as the Assistant Conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. "The idea of a female trumpet player was unheard of," he recalls, "but we just accepted people for whoever they were. In addition to that, the band has released many songs, including 'Common Nonsense,' 'Swimming in a Sea of Death,' 'Death Comes with Silence,' 'Beware the Ides of Match,' and more.Leonard Slatkin and Susan Slaughter met in the mid-'60s, both of them students gulping clear mountain air and wisdom at the Aspen Music Festival and School.

In an interview with The Swerve Magazine, she mentioned, "I won alongside Karl, who eventually didn't make the cut with Ghost Hunters International because I think they wanted a female investigator at the end to even out the ratio on the team." However, only six or seven were chosen, including Slaughter. The show had over 6,000 to 8,000 participants.
