![]() Given Schexnayder's name, appearance, and career as a publicity agent for superheroes, he may be inspired by Julius Schwartz, a literary agent who served for decades as the head editor of DC Comic's flagship comic book titles and well known for having played in a important role in the superhero revival in the second half of the 20th century.This mistake can be handwaved as Dale Petey being terrible with names, despite being such a stickler for historical accuracy. In Peteypedia, Lawrence is mistakenly named Louis.The firm's familial connection to Lawrence Schexnayder is unknown. The Book of Rorschach, an in-universe album by the fictional band Sons of Pale Horse, credits the legal firm of Schexnayder & Sons, LLC. ![]() Laurie Juspeczyk described her stepfather as a "domineering bully". In his book, Under the Hood, Hollis Mason describes Schexnayder as "tireless and shrewd", but also very mature and respectable for his age (mid-30s). While reminiscing her memories to Jon Osterman on Mars, Laurie recounts an argument between Sally and Laurence where Sally angrily tells her husband that the man she'd had the affair with was more attentive to her own needs. Knowing that Sally had an affair during their marriage, Schexnayder became despondent and usually picked on Laurie. Laurie's father, whom Laurie believed to be Hooded Justice, was in actuality the Comedian, with whom Sally had an affair while married. The nine-year marriage was tumultuous, especially after Jupiter had her only child, Laurel Jane, in 1949. Shortly after Sally's retirement, the two married in 1947. Sometime around 1948, Larry sent Sally a note expressing his concerns about the decline of the Minutemen, Captain Metropolis and Hooded Justice's relationship becoming public, the drinking problems of Mothman, and Nite Owl becoming like "a big bouncy boy scout." Larry expressed his own wish to quit the team, move westwards and cooperate together. Schexnayder had supposedly understood that costumed adventuring was becoming increasingly unpopular and left in time. Laurence Schexnayder catches Laurie Juspeczyk Once Ursula Zandt's homosexual relationship was outed, Schexnayder proposed to expel her to maintain the team's image. It's possible that this incident made him realize who Laurie's father really was. He also convinced Jupiter not to press charges against the Comedian, who attempted to rape her following a photo shoot of the group in 1940. Always caring about the team's public image, he covered Hooded Justice's homosexuality by arranging Sally to "beard" him. ĭuring the Minutemen era, Schexnayder worked as their manager, keeping track of how often the group's exploits made the newspapers and how popular the radio shows were, booking publicity stills, and even making arrangements for those of the team who needed help with living expenses, like young Eddie Blake. ![]() This led to the creation of the Minutemen. He offered them his "base", in exchange for Sally's cooperation as Silk Spectre and Schexnayder's publicity and management talents. Nelson Gardner contacted Schexnayder, inviting him to consider a joint effort of all the costumed adventurers. Laurence Schexnayder saw the costumed adventurers as a social fad on which he could cash in with the help of Sally Jupiter, aka Silk Spectre. Wedding of Laurence Schexnayder and Sally Jupiter.

If this works, there was an issue with your old batteries (which should be replaced immediately). If they’re not, try changing them out with new ones and see if that fixes the issue.

There's no jumping required. If you hold the Ctrl key (Option on Mac) when you start scaling, the scaling will be done about the center and you'll end up with the taper on all four sides of the leg. Both dimensions of the end of the leg will be 1-1/4 inches. There is an optional lesson at the end of the course where you can learn about the updates and differences in the later versions of SketchUp.Īt the end of this page is a link to the forum for this class where you can leave questions for the instructor or any comments you may have.

While we are using SketchUp 2014 as the basis for this class, all of the techniques will work with SketchUp Make or Pro 2015, 2016, or 2017 as well.

After the upgrade, it only took ten seconds or so. Initially, my MacBook needed at least 30 seconds to fully start up. You’d be better off simply upgrading your Mac.Ĭase in point: I had a mid-2012 MacBook Pro and I managed to replace the internal HDD (a Hitachi hard disk drive) with a new solid-state drive from Crucial, and the performance boost absolutely blew my mind. On the other hand, you probably won’t benefit from a Mac cleaner app if you are using an old Mac that is running super slow, keeps freezing now and then, or has other performance issues. Or you are a power Mac user who knows how to clean your Mac manually, but it’s not worth your time.
![]() As well as BBC iPlayer you also get ITV Hub, 4OD and Demand 5, while for local streaming there’s Plex and VLC, and for music you get Spotify, Deezer and Tidal. Netflix is here, too, also in 4K with HDR and Dolby Vision – although without HDR10+ (which isn’t currently supported by Netflix) or Dolby Atmos (which you will get from the Netflix app on some platforms, such as Apple TV). In short, the search function, whether activated by type or voice, works best when you know what you’re after.Īt front and centre of the app selection is Amazon Prime Video, here available in 4K with standard HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision – and with Dolby Atmos sound. And although Netflix is included, Amazon results are predictably prioritised – even if clicking on them would result in paying to watch something that’s already included in your Netflix subscription. It’s not universal, for a start, so iPlayer, for example, isn’t included in results. However, Alexa is slightly hampered by a patchy general search function. If you’ve got another Alexa device, such as an Echo Dot, you can issue the command ‘out loud’ – no need to even find the Stick’s remote. With HDMI-CEC correctly setup, you can issue a single voice command to turn on your TV, turn on the Fire TV Stick 4K and start playing an episode of, say, The Boys. Issuing commands feels natural, they’re always understood and enacted upon quickly, and you can do more than simply search for a show or pause what you’re watching. What makes the Fire TV Stick 4K’s voice control special is its combination of responsiveness, consistency of comprehension and scope. Simply press the voice control button on the remote and issue commands into the integrated microphone. HDR support HDR10, HLG, HDR10+, Dolby VisionĪdding a further dimension to operability is Alexa voice control. The Fire TV Stick 4K is also by default set to always output HDR, effectively upconverting standard dynamic range content to rather inauthentic effect - we’d recommend you also change that while in the setting menus. The option to play all content in its native frame rate is turned off by default and we’d strongly recommend turning it on. ![]() ![]() Once the initial set-up is complete there are still a few more advanced options worth exploring. The video that introduces you to your new device is useful, but it also sets off any Alexa device already in the room. The stick automatically installs any available software updates, quickly and easily connects to your wi-fi and, predictably, links to your Amazon account. But wall-mounters who’ve chosen a stick device for neatness will be disappointed if they discover plugging the Amazon into the wall is or becomes essential.įirst-time set-up is pleasantly slick. You can also hardwire the Fire TV Stick 4K to your router by adding the optional ethernet adapter.Īs well as being bulkier than most sticks, the Fire TV Stick 4K also draws more power, to the extent that you should use the USB wall plug that comes in the box rather than running the cable into one of your TV’s own sockets – though we tried it both ways during testing and spotted no difference in performance. There is, at least, an HDMI extender in the box that can help with the latter issueĪnd improve the wi-fi performance at the same time – although we had no issues with wi-fi without it. Plugging it in next to other cables can be a real squeeze too. Compared to a more traditionally shaped streamer such as the Apple TV 4K, this is a far more compact design, but at 10cm long the Fire TV Stick 4K will protrude from the edge of many TVs when plugged into a sideways-facing socket. Such is its chunkiness, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K might be more accurately referred to as a branch. ![]() This study tries to enrich this literature on political endorsements under dictatorships by taking advantage of a narrow window of opportunity to conduct a survey experiment in Hong Kong (henceforth HK) during China’s COVID-19 outbreak. A related study shows experimentally that the Chinese government can only rebut rumors and regain people’s trust in it when the rebuttals are endorsed by the public figures widely perceived to be independent. ![]() ![]() Yet little is known if such an effect also exists in an authoritarian context. In a far more extreme scenario of civil wars, the outgroup leader endorsements for a peace settlement are found to work adversely on its public support. In a democratic context, the endorsements from less biased newspapers win candidates more support from voters, and those made by celebrities also make them look more viable in electoral competition. Allowing information flow from non-official sources can be a practical measure for governments to address the problem of a credibility deficit during a pandemic.Ĭan the trust in an authoritarian government be enhanced by endorsements from an independent source? The extant literature has documented various kinds of endorsement effects. Our findings imply that dictators can actually “borrow credibility” from their citizen journalists and even nondemocratic leaders can make themselves more trustworthy to potential dissenters through citizen journalism. This study shows that the information from a non-official source enhances the credibility of official government messages. We conducted an online survey experiment in February 2020 in Hong Kong (n = 1,016) in which respondents were randomly provided with a government press release and an endorsement either from an official or a non-official source. In this study, we aim to understand how media audiences update their trust in the government during the COVID-19 outbreak depending on the information they received. During the outbreak of an epidemic, the success in risk communications to make the public comply with disease preventive measures depends on the public’s trust in the government.

It came up trumps, not one collapse, not even a flutter. Initially, fear of an unstable experience was present, however, when heading into the shallows, we made endless attempts to overshoot and collapse the Apollo. When you first launch the kite the Apollo look slightly daunting in the air, we are now so used to seeing low aspect ratio kites (short and fat) it's pretty rare to look up and see high aspect weapons above our heads. The centre line has plenty of range giving the rider the ability to almost full dump the power when needed, pretty handy when you're screaming around on the Apollo!

(ii) After the merger with Nextel, Sprint’s customer service deteriorated, which led to net losses in subscribers, particularly amongst dissatisfied iDEN subscribers. (i) Sprint experienced technical issues with Nextel’s iDEN network that resulted poor service and customer dissatisfaction. Sprint’s iDEN subscribers have declined from about 16.6 million in 2005 to about 7.3 million in 2009 primarily due to two factors: IDEN Subscribers Declined 50% in Four Years We estimate that about 47% of the $4.31 Trefis price for Sprint’s stock can be attributed to its Mobile Plans and Phones business, which includes the contribution from Sprint’s voice service to CDMA and iDEN subscribers. Push-to-talk service has been popular amongst safety workers (paramedics, firefighters, security personnel) and outdoor professions (construction, repair). Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (or iDEN) refers to push-to-talk technology, which Sprint acquired after merging with Nextel in 2005. Sprint’s postpaid subscribers mainly consist of CDMA and iDEN subscribers. IDEN is Push-to-Talk Mobile Phone Service ![]() However, Sprint’s iDEN subscriber numbers have declined in recent years and we expect such declines to continue. Sprint’s iDEN push-to-talk subscribers have historically been an important part of the company’s postpaid busines.
