![]() ![]() In an early scene, a very sand-adjusted woman (Sharon Duncan-Brewster) explains to Oscar Isaac and Paul that the planet’s sand is basically a death sentence for humans and machinery alike. There are at least three scenes wherein Oscar Isaac, playing Paul’s rich hot dad, stares at the sand and yells, “Desert power!” The oppressed and exploited native population of Arrakis live underneath the sand, having learned to adapt to its cruel madness over generations when they’re outside on top of the sand, they wear special suits and breathe through special tubes and still sometimes get absolutely pummeled to death by sand. At least 90 percent of the movie is about how sand is absolutely wild, conceptually and in practice. I simply refuse to go any further here vis à vis the plot of Dune, which is so famously insane that it has destroyed the lives of people much more intelligent than I, but suffice to say that Paul spends a lot of the movie on a planet named Arrakis that is made up entirely of thick, hot sand. In Dune, Timothée Chalamet plays a young man who lives some millions of years in the future, on an entirely different planet than Earth, but who is nonetheless named Paul. Save for my dead grandfather and Dune and the Wikipedia page for sand, nobody is talking about this. ![]() The most upsetting thing he ever said to me, however, was that I should never play in sandboxes or any kind of sand-accumulation site, because the sand could, without warning, overpower and instantaneously suffocate me. When I was a kid, my grandpa, a kind of rude but good doctor (may he rest in peace), used to warn me about the dangers inherent in doing all sorts of everyday things: walking under an automatic garage door, lest its mechanism fail the moment I was beneath it, instantly decapitating me eating sushi and getting a brain-eating parasite. Unlike most people, I have always stopped and pondered dunes. (On the Wikipedia page for sand, under “composition”: “The exact definition of sand varies.” Excuse me … ?) I started thinking pretty hard about sand last week as I watched Dune (2021), which is a new Denis Villeneuve movie about how crazy dunes are if you really stop to ponder them. And unlike the sea, which is water, nobody can even agree on what sand is. ![]() From Dune (1984) to Dune (2021), sand has long been just as sexy and freaky of an antagonist as the sea, albeit underappreciated. It is the sea’s frenemy and eternal next-door neighbor, the Joan Crawford to its Bette Davis, the Ashley to its Mary-Kate. ![]() I am here to suggest that while the sea has historically gotten more cinematic credit, there is an even scarier and sultrier natural element that has been quietly doing the villain work all along. At best, the sea will drown a protagonist and put them out of their earthly misery, but more likely, it will erotically torment them, providing the stage upon which a suspiciously intelligent shark can flirt with Blake Lively’s mortality and old hubristic white men can barely survive a ton of preventable boat accidents and freakish underwater creatures can try to kill Kristen Stewart and Naomi Watts and Robin Wright can have sex with each other’s sons.īut I am not here today to talk about the sea, which has gotten enough attention as it is. If the sea shows up in a movie, you can be confident that someone will be grievously injured by it and/or have poorly considered sex in it. The sea, Hollywood often suggests, is a net-bad, but in a sort of sensual way. Many movies have been made about the terrifying, lusty power of the sea. Forget the sea, it’s time to recognize sand, and then run away from her, screaming. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Boomtown Rats - "I Don't Like Mondays" The latest playlist update?

He made a detailed pencil, ink and coloured pencil design on graph paper, enlarged five times in length from the main map of Middle-earth. The paper became soft, torn and yellowed through intensive use, and a fold down the centre had to be mended using parcel tape. The map had many annotations in pencil and a range of different inks added over the years, the older ones faded until almost illegible. Tolkien worked for many years on the book, using a hand-drawn map of the whole of the north-west of Middle-earth on squared (not graph) paper, each 2cm square representing 100 miles. The maps are a large drawing of the north-west part of Middle-earth, showing mountains as if seen in three dimensions, and coasts with multiple waterlines a more detailed drawing of "A Part of the Shire" and a contour map by Christopher Tolkien of parts of Rohan, Gondor, and Mordor, very different in style. The Lord of the Rings contains three maps and over 600 placenames. The city of Minas Tirith (lower left) with its large encircling wall (the Rammas Echor) and the ruined city of Osgiliath astride the River Anduin nearby are shown. Tolkien's design for his son Christopher's contour map on graph paper with handwritten annotations, of parts of Gondor and Mordor and the route taken by the Hobbits with the One Ring, and dates along that route, for an enlarged map in The Return of the King Detail of finished contour map by Christopher Tolkien, drawn from his father's graph paper design. This line represented the printed delineation of the margin of the school paper, which came with the printed instruction "Do not write in this margin". Both maps have a heavy vertical line not far from the left-hand side, the one on the map of Wilderland marked "Edge of the Wild". The map is overprinted with placenames in red. Mirkwood is shown as a mixture of closely packed tree symbols, spiders and their webs, hills, lakes, and villages. The Misty Mountains are drawn in three dimensions. The other is a drawing of " Wilderland", from Rivendell in the west to the Lonely Mountain and Smaug the dragon in the east. The first is Thror's map, in the fiction handed down to Thorin, showing little but the Lonely Mountain drawn in outline with ridgelines and entrances, and parts of two rivers, decorated with a spider and its web, English labels and arrows, and two texts written in runes. In the view of the Tolkien critic Tom Shippey, the maps are largely decorative in the "Here be tygers" tradition, adding nothing to the story. The Hobbit contains two simple maps and only around 50 placenames.

From the impromptu mass vigil organized by local high school students that Saturday night in the heart of Squirrel Hill, at the corner of Forbes and Murray, through the many funerals and memorial services, we have been trying to come to terms with what has happened. But the fact that the deadliest anti-Semitic massacre in American history took place in our city, often rated the “most livable” in the United States, in the heart of its friendliest neighborhood, and in a synagogue historically committed to Christian-Jewish understanding, has made it even harder to absorb the bitter reality. For many of us who live in Squirrel Hill, have connections to Tree of Life, or know either a victim or their family, our shock and grief in the midst of this frenzy of media attention has been all but overwhelming. ![]() ![]() The murder of Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger during Shabbat morning services at the Tree of Life synagogue by a deranged anti-Semitic gunman was described in horrific detail, and the outpouring of sympathy and solidarity was widely recorded. For weeks after October 27, 2018, the spotlight was on Pittsburgh and its Jewish community. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can combine these key combinations with different modifier keys (Option, Shift, Command, etc.). For example, you can press Command + middle mouse button in the app’s button menu to associate it with a change in system volume. The best feature of BetterMouse is that you can create custom shortcuts and associate them with mouse buttons. For most people, the speed of movement of the mouse should be around 20 and the rate of acceleration should be around five. Warning: Selecting high values for speed and acceleration can make mouse control more difficult. Once you find a sweet spot, adjust the Acceleration setting to change how quickly it responds to the scrolling speed you selected earlier. Go to the Cursor tab in BetterMouse and change the speed and acceleration values.ĭecreasing the speed will slow down your runner’s movement and the increase will be even faster. If you find that the mouse pointer is too slow or randomly flies to different corners of the screen, the BetterMouse cursor controls can help you find a happy medium. If you later change something and want to go back to your saved settings, hit the Switch to snap button. When you’ve finished customizing these settings, click the Take a snap button on the same page to save them. The only thing to note is you should disable Vertical Invert and Horizontal Invert if you want your computer to scroll in the same direction as your mouse wheel. There are several other explanations on the scroll tab. However, many video editing programs still make heavy use of side-scrolling, and you can also adjust this setting to control the scrolling speed of these programs. This isn’t very useful on modern webs, as most websites respond to designs. The Hori Speed option allows you to control the horizontal scroll speed. It’s great to have in BetterMouse, but it offers nothing more than what’s already inside. The acceleration settings mimic the scroll speed options in macOS System Preferences. For mice that use touchpads or gesture-based scrolling, adjusting the scroll settings isn’t very helpful, as typing accuracy is significantly reduced. These three sliders work best if your mouse has a wheel. ![]() If smooth scrolling is enabled, you can change these three settings in stages to control the scrolling speed. The first three parameters (duration, breakpoint, speed) are related to the smooth scrolling option under this slider. The Scrolling tab contains (obviously) all scrolling-related customization options. Open BetterMouse and click on the menu bar icon at the top of the screen to see all the options. (You must grant them access rights to use the various features.) You can install BetterMouse from their website or using Homebrew. It’s also worth noting that the app costs $ 5, but offers a weekly free trial. (Note that BetterMouse can also be used to customize scrolling behavior on the internal trackpad, but is best with an external mouse.) If you don’t know what you’re doing, you can have a much more intense mouse experience than ever before – but we’ve taken you through a variety of options to make sure you can use it. Warning: The BetterMouse is a great tool, but not for everyone. If you are looking for detailed scrolling control over your external mouse or want to customize it in another way, BetterMouse is the tool you need. MacBooks have some of the best trackpads, but the experience of using a full-fledged mouse with a Mac could be even better. ![]() |
