Took the CR-V for a test drive, started up the paperwork, signed all of the papers with finance manager Darrell H (who was great and did not pressure me for all the add-ons).

Such a friendly sales person who completely understood and answered all of my questions and concerns. Immediately reached out via phone and was put in contact with Hector A.

Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Hector appears to be a trickster a bad skeleton, but I learned in my interview with Gael Garcia Bernal, the voice of Hector, why Gael is anything but a bad guy.ĭespite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). He sees Miguel as an opportunity to do so. He desperately wants to get back to the Land of the Living and tries every trick he can. When Hector first comes on the screen in COCO, he seems to be a character up to no good. So for today, I’ll focus on my interview with Gael Garcia Bernal, the voice of Hector in COCO. I’m trying my best not to ‘spoil’ anything for you. As the day to the release (on November 22) get closer it’s getting harder to not tell you everything about the movie. I even saw Disney Pixar COCO at the red carpet premiere. Between the two press junkets for COCO, I’ve interviewed the story writers, directors, animators, and actors behind the film. Last week, I started sharing my experiences going out to Los Angeles for the #PixarCocoEvent.

The Chinese are making fewer and fewer options for wholesalers to pick from. This resulted in the mass of silly bronzes you can buy online. You can see this in "reproductions" of ancient Greek or Roman bronzes with big breasts or improved facial features to make them more attractive to the guy in China who was making the model. In many cases the Chinese made the terrible mistake of attempting to "improve" or modernize the originals. If an item is not reproduced from a mold taken from an original it will not be the same. Their molds weren't taken from original items they were obviously modeled from pictures. Most of the Chinese bronzes that were reproductions of famous statues, vases, clocks and lamps. If you tried to order a lot of things it turned out almost nothing was in stock and everything had to be produced to ship. They all looked the same because they used the same molds - or bought their casting waxes from the same sources. In the beginning the Chinese offered catalogs of hundreds of different bronzes. I suspect the Chinese foundries mix in other metals to extend the "bronze" available. The biggest cost is the metal and the ingredients for bronze can be expensive in China and hard to get. They mass produce the waxes and their low labor costs mean the cost of casting and finishing is as low as it could possibly get. If you pay $100 for a Chinese bronze the net cost at the foundry is $10 or less. Those guys were mostly based in Spain and Portugal. Twelve years ago the Chinese flooded the market with these and wiped out all of the European producers within a year or two. They are really cheap you can buy a decent sized desktop bronze for around $100.00. Virtually all of the small bronzes sold on Ebay are from China. There have been no problems with the second 'coat' ten years later and the bronzes are all outside in the elements. I made a bad mistake in the patina I had ordered from a Chinese foundry on a dozen bronzes. Mix the chemicals up, add fire and you might totally ruin a bronze. Sometimes it is possible to apply a second patina over the first, but you can't be sure of the results because there is a chemical reaction in the patina when it is applied. Those who are need to carefully consider the patinas that are available to them because once a foundry patina has been applied it is irreversible. Very few people today are ordering or commissioning bronzes directly from the foundry. ![]() Most people who visit this page are trying to identify a patina on a bronze they have bought - or are thinking of buying or people who have bronzes with damaged surfaces that they want to repair. There are two types of patinas, those applied though firing on or chemical reactions in the foundry and artistic patinas that are applied with colors, varnishes and waxes. It still has it's original patina, the surface is natural, the result of people touching it over the years. Another ancient bronze that has been known since ancient times is the famous "Thorn Picker" - "the Spinario" from Rome. These bronzes are in a remarkable state of preservation and have been on view ever since their creation. Later on I will talk about the horses of St. The only reason the statue of Marcus Aurelius was saved from the melting pot was that in medieval times that thought he was the Christian Emperor Constantine. ![]() Only a few ancient statues - like the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius from Rome have survived without ever being buried or immersed in the sea and thus still possess their original surface. Some ancient statues, like the bronzes from the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum have been restored and in the process have had new patinas applied. Those bronzes have natural patinas that have taken hundreds of years to develop. Now we are not talking about ancient statues that have been dug up from the ground or raised from the seabed. Most people do not realize that bronze statues have artificial patinas applied to their surfaces. I have just published a "My Favorite Semi-Precious Stones for Hardstone Animals" - click here if you want to read it.

But you could also opt to save some of your own heirloom carrot seeds for replanting, if you wish. Of course, us gardeners typically like to pull up the roots and enjoy them for fresh eating and in our favorite dishes long before that second season arrives. carota sativus originated in Central Asia, and all types are biennials, which means they don’t bloom until their second year. There are other traits this variety shares with all types of carrots, from the short and stumpy to the pointed and purple.Īll cultivars of D. Grown to baby size, they’re also ideal for container gardening, as opposed to the full-size versions. ‘Nantes’ is also a great baby carrot option, since it is already sweet if harvested before it reaches maturity. Like all carrots, this type requires loose, well-draining soil that should be cultivated a couple inches deeper than its taproots will grow, to a depth of about 10 inches. Of course, the extra-tender flesh means ‘Nantes’ doesn’t contain as much dietary fiber as some other varieties you might choose to grow. You’ll also get to eat just a bit more of the beta carotene that humans convert to vitamin A, which is equally dispersed throughout the skin and flesh. ![]() And it allows these carrots to retain all the vitamin C and niacin that are most concentrated in the peel, and right below it. Not requiring peeling saves a step in the kitchen. They mature in the relatively short time frame of 65 to 75 days, which explains their nickname, “Early Coreless.” The flesh is bright orange-red with almost no core at all. They’re tender, not fibrous, and typically grow six to seven inches long at maturity, though the ‘Bolero’ cultivar can reach eight inches. A hallmark of the variety is its cylindrical, slightly tapered roots. ![]() ![]() The series became so well-known, that there was even a Walter Lantz cartoon starring Woody Woodpecker that parodied Racket Squad. Although the opening credits featured only a few bars of dramatic music, the much more elaborate end-credits were set to a piece of music called "Parade of the Chessmen," composed by Joseph Mullendore, which received a full commercial recording and release on RCA Victor by Boddy Morrow. The original episodes (total 98 shows) ran for a total of three seasons, after which the series enjoyed more than a decade of life in reruns on local stations across the United States. ![]() Produced at Hal Roach Studios, Racket Squad initially went on the air as a first-run syndicated series, but was picked up by the CBS television network in 1951. This was sometimes laced with bittersweet consequences, however, as when a key sympathetic figure died, or when terrible cruelties were inflicted on innocents in the course of whatever scam was being perpetrated (this was especially true in an episode involving a fraudulent old-age home whose residents were being abused and neglected). In the end, as with most American television series of the era aimed at a mass public, Braddock would swoop in near the end of the story, after an initial investigation, and make the arrest. The tale would then be told using a varying company of actors, some of them - such as James Gleason (in one of the more poignant portrayals) - known from films, playing out stories of fraud and deception, involving crooked charities, phony inventions, land swindles, rigged gambling operations, and other scams. Each episode would begin dramatically enough, with a patrol car pulling up in tight close-up on the words "City Police" filling the screen to a dramatic three-note theme, before cutting to a police office at a board, announcing through a microphone, "Captain Braddock, Captain Braddock - ready!" Then it was into Braddock's office where Hadley, in his rich baritone voice, would explain the truth behind the dramatization we were about to see. The series star was movie and radio veteran Reed Hadley, who portrayed Captain John Braddock, the head of a city police department's Racket Squad (more often referred to as the bunco or frauds squad). Like Jack Webb's Dragnet, Racket Squad sought the imprimatur of realism by announcing that its stories were taken from actual police cases. But in its time, it was one of a relatively small group of dramatic series to make the leap from first-run syndication, which was how it started out, to one of the major networks. Racket Squad was among the more successful independently produced television crime series of the early-middle 1950s, and endured long past its first run - indeed, most viewers born after 1946 who remember it recall the series from countless syndicated reruns that lasted well into the 1960s. ![]() ![]() ![]() This usually applies to the familiar shapes which have associations with objects encountered in nature. Specific shapes and colors already have meaning in our minds. ![]() The combination of shapes and colors are various and hold different meanings and moods.īefore deciding which one to choose, you’ll need to understand your design’s purpose and the message you want to convey. Most of the time, the designs will get paired with a color. The Psychology of Shapes in Designĭesigners use shapes to express different ideas, create the notion of movement, offer texture and depth to an image, suggest a mood or emotion, or emphasize an area of interest. Now, let’s dive deeper into shape meanings and learn how you can integrate them into your visual communication strategy. Symbols that you see and use in your everyday life, such as mobile app icons, can be placed in this category. For example, a stick figure is an abstract shape depicting a person, or typographic glyphs can illustrate letters. These illustrate organic forms or everyday objects, even though they are not an exact representation. Rarely, these shapes can be human-made, like ink blobs. Opposite to geometric shapes, these are asymmetrical, or imperfect but necessary and comforting shapes encountered in nature.Įverything that was created naturally can fall into this category, such as leaves, rocks, or clouds. ![]() In kindergarten, we learned shapes through play before we learned about letters, so it’s only natural to feel acquainted and drawn to something we’re used to. They are so familiar to us because we started seeing and drawing them since we were kids. Circles, squares, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, or octagons are instantly recognizable. Probably the most commonly used, the geometric shapes come first to our minds. There are three main shapes you can use in your designs: 1. Sometimes the best way to create a compelling design means reducing it to its most basic shapes. Otherwise, they work as an accessory, for various visual marketing materials such as presentations, infographics, or social media visuals.īut what’s the best shape you can use to send the right message? 3 Types of Shapes in Design They can work as a standalone design if you need to send a direct message. Most of the shapes rely on cultural conventions or nature silhouettes, which makes them familiar to us. By adding a third dimension to them, you can create forms, which is a different element altogether. In graphic design, shapes are two-dimensional figures in a layout with clear delimitations at the edges. In this article, we’re going to talk about the psychology behind geometric shapes, how all the objects surrounding us can be associated with basic shapes, what are the main shape meanings, and how you can use them to influence your visual marketing strategy. This means that you can use them to create graphic design materials that evoke particular emotions.Ī powerful communication strategy is all about pairing the right message with a great design to achieve the desired results. What’s interesting about shapes is that they can make us feel a certain way. Our everyday life means constantly interacting with different objects, which resemble various shapes, from basic to abstract ones. ![]() ![]() ![]() For those who can do nothing for the bully? Abuse, aggression, and mockery are the norm. Those who stroke the bully’s ego or make them feel important and powerful. Bully bosses suck up and are effusive with those who can do something for the bully. However, those under these leaders are targets of insults, aggression, and hostility, especially when the boss’s ego is threatened. Red FlagsĪbusive bosses tend to “kiss up and kick down.” Outsiders often see them as magnanimous leaders who are easy to get along with and generous with their praise. This makes them toxic, if not downright dangerous, as a leader. Narcissists are also likely to perceive enemies where none actually exist. This often leads to them landing leadership roles at work. These feelings of inferiority motivate narcissists to be quite charming and engaging while also demonstrating vision and passion. They have massive egos, but those egos are ridiculously fragile. Despite their outward self-confidence, narcissists often struggle with profound feelings of inferiority. While the entitlement and grandiosity of narcissism might suggest that these individuals think a lot of themselves, a growing body of research suggests it is often just the opposite. Individuals high in narcissism display grandiosity and an overabundance of self-importance, lack empathy, require excessive admiration or adoration, tend to exploit those around them, and hold feelings of superiority and an unreasonable sense of entitlement. However, too much narcissism and things go poorly. We all exhibit some level of narcissism, as it helps protect us from being taken advantage of by others and helps us think well of ourselves. It has become a popular word to throw around, especially since the 2016 United States presidential election of a highly narcissistic billionaire. Those with an overdose of narcissism demonstrate extreme entitlement (e.g., to be admired, to be in control, to be obeyed), lack empathy, and tend to behave in extremely selfish or self-centered ways. They already hold the keys to happiness and success in their own hands.īully bosses are often highly narcissistic. Those who are in control of their own emotions and behavior have little need to control others. Those who aim to control others often do so because they are unsuccessful in controlling themselves. It is generally unacceptable to try to intimidate or control one’s own boss, so bully bosses do so with those who have less power than the bully does - with their subordinates. ![]() Workplace bullies often demonstrate a desire to intimidate and control those around them. You cannot wait to escape their overbearing presence and manipulative efforts. You may wish for the floor to swallow you up. You know you report to a bully boss when you leave most interactions with them feeling worse than before the interaction and feeling bad about yourself and your worth as a person. It is also a most appropriate one as noted in the book, “The No Asshole Rule”. Yes, that is an indelicate word I just used there. Most of us have worked for a bully boss or had a close family member or friend who has worked for one of these assholes. They treat people as though they are expendable because in the abusive boss’s mind, they are. These pencils, more important! These pens, more important! These paper clips, more important! You miserable little crybaby! You don’t like it here, leave! There are thousands of people who would kill for your spot, who would kill for the opportunity to be here! I could spit and hit somebody who could do this job better than you!” Bully bosses are famous - or infamous - for yelling, throwing things and treating their people as though they have no value. And yet, do I hear any complaints when I do this!? (throws schedule at Guy). In one scene, Buddy holds up a work schedule to Guy and says, “You see this? This means more to the office than you. Kevin Spacey plays Buddy Ackerman, a media model who regularly abuses his assistant, Guy, played by Frank Whaley. One prime example of a bully boss is from the 1994 movie Swimming with Sharks. Cutting you off mid-sentence or talking over you. Yelling in someone’s face or otherwise invading their personal space during a tantrum. Rolling their eyes at a subordinate or colleague. Belittling a subordinate in front of others or even in private. Pounding the desk or conference room table in anger. You work for me! If you can’t work for me, then you resign!” “You’re worthless.” Slamming doors. “You’re an idiot.” “How can you be so stupid?” “I’m in charge. ![]() |
