Rides in star wars galaxy edge12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opened in December 2019 and is considered to be one of the most impressive rides in the world. ![]() If the single rider lane is available, be sure to take that option. Your experience depends entirely on how well you fly. The first ride to open is Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, a simulation ride where different visitors play the parts of roles on the ship including pilot and engineer on a mission for Chewbacca and friends. It now incorporates elements from the newer films. It predates Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and replaced the original Star Tours from 1987. Set in the Echo Lake area, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is one of the longest-running rides at the park and is a simulator of the space ships from the Star Wars films. There are optional add on experiences like a dessert bar and viewing area that can be booked in advance. Once darkness falls, Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular is a light show at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Enjoy photo ops with your favorite characters like BB-8, Darth Vader, and Chewbacca, which can be booked in advance. Get up close to the Millennium Falcon and meet the Storm Troopers that roam the outpost. Inside Galaxy’s Edge, you can wander through the market, where you can get your cards read by one of the vendors. The live-action show brings children ages 4-12 in as young padawans, donning robes and getting lightsaber training from a Jedi master. Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple is in Echo Lake near Star Tours. There’s even a theater that screens a short documentary on the series. In the Animation Courtyard, the Star Wars Launch Bay has a store as well as exhibits from the films. You might see Storm Troopers, Kylon Ren, Boba Fett, and Chewbacca. On Hollywood Boulevard, there’s A Galaxy Far, Far Away, a live-action show featuring notable characters from the recent films. The Star Wars-themed experiences aren’t limited just to Galaxy’s Edge. ![]()

Meek mill dreams and nightmares cd12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() “When I heard, ‘Hold up wait a minute…’ I knew, right then and there, that it was over. “I remember listening to the where the piano is playing, and he told me to just wait,” he says. But at the time, he was pushing ‘Amen’ because of the feature, back when those guys were good.”Ĭosmic Kev was impressed by “Willy Wonka,” but also immediately recognized that “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” was sublime. Because, once again, the energy on that record. “When he sent me ‘Willy Wonka,’ I was snappin’ on that. “He sent me ‘Dreams & Nightmares,’ ‘ Amen,’ and ‘ Willy Wonka’ - which was off one of the mixtapes, because he had done those records early,” Cosmic Kev says. According to Cosmic Kev, the intro wasn’t the song from this initial batch that Meek was the most enthusiastic about. I didn’t think they was gon’ catch it the way they caught it.”ĭJ Cosmic Kev, a legend at Philadelphia’s Power 99 FM and one of the most respected voices in the local hip-hop community, says “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” was one of three records Meek sent him well before his debut was released. “But you know, that’s why I made that song in that manner. “I didn’t think would respond to that song like that,” he admitted on Hot 97’s Juan Epstein podcast in 2013. Meek Mill said he’s long felt the record was special (“Me and my homies, we always thought that about the intro,” he told Complex in 2014, in response to Drake’s praise), but he’s acknowledged that he had no idea it would adopt this extended cultural afterlife. Therein lies the root of the song’s popularity: it’s become an anthem because it channels a relatable narrative into raw energy - something any listener can feel. ![]() But being written off or doubted is not exclusive to Philadelphia - that’s a narrative many can relate to or, at the very least, understand. They, like Meek, succeeded despite being written off. Hence why the Philadelphia Eagles have embraced it as their anthem during a rocky journey to Super Bowl Lll. It’s deeply rooted in Meek Mill’s North Philadelphia upbringing the grit and chip-on-your-shoulder ambition that characterize the city are evident throughout the song. Much of that impact comes from the feeling “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” evokes. ![]()

Link list stack and queue12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() Let's begin by creating a simple constructor function with a head pointion to null. To implement this data structure we'll use prototypal inheritance using JavaScript. We can use the pointer to traverse the elements in the node. The first node is known as the head node. Linked ListĪ linked list is a linear collection of data elements, called nodes, each pointing to the next node. I encourage you before you begin to try to implement these data structures by yourself first. In this blog post we'll discuss how to implement a stack, queue and linked list using JavaScript. For the sake of this blog article we'll just discuss linked lists, queues and stacks using JavaScript Some other common data structures include trees, tries & graphs, heaps, array lists and hash tables. Depending on the implementation a stack may, or may not, keep track of the previous value. The linked list can be written as a circularly linked list, double linked list or singly linked list. On the other hand a stack and queue keeps track of the top value, size and previous value in most cases.Įach implementation of these data structures may differ slightly. ![]() In the linked list one pointer is used to keep track of the head and another keeps track of the next value. All three hold a collection of elements and can be traversed. Here’s an implementation of a data structure that can function as both a stack and a queue using a doubly linked list: In this implementation, we use a doubly linked list with a head and tail pointer. The linked list, stack and Queue are some of the most common data structures in computer science. This makes it an efficient data structure for implementing a stack and a queue together. How To Create A Linked List, Stack and Queue in JavaScript Chapter 18 Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, and Priority Queues 18.1 is a data structure to store data in a sequential order. ![]()

Chocolat kpop12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, their songs are swallowed up by the ownership of K-pop as Korean music targeting young Asian-Americans. We weren’t given a say in any of them, so I don’t really have any attachment towards any of them.” Because of the lack of intentional action surrounding their Asian-American music, Chocolat’s songs cannot qualify as Asian-American music. As Lee notes about Chocolat’s songs, “My only thing about not having anything to say about the songs is that we didn’t pick any of them. In effect, this says that K-pop heads find Asian-Americanness as a positive factor in terms of marketing, but they give Asian-Americans themselves little to no agency over their own music and what they produce. When asked whether it was planned to have so many members be biracial, Lee said, “It was completely planned… Our company boss didn’t really care, he just wanted an all-biracial group, something that’s never been before, that would cause a lot of hype.” While debuting an all-mixed group would have been a huge opportunity to bring attention to social issues about race in Korea, instead the company only viewed it as a marketing venture and to gain more revenue. In the same interview, Lee also exposed many details about her time in Chocolat, including how her company only viewed being mixed-race as a marketing tactic. Though they had no official disbandment announcement, member Melanie Aurora Lee revealed through an interview with Kpopalypse that the group’s contracts had only officially expired in February of 2017. The group debuted with the song “ Syndrome” in 2011 and met little success, eventually fading into the background. However, K-pop betrays that expectation with its commodification of the Asian-American status, simultaneously using it to produce revenue while rejecting its inherent value.Ĭhocolat was originally formed with five members, three of which were biracial Koreans who had lived overseas. ![]() Their status as “others” in the USA pushes Asian-Americans to seek solidarity in K-pop, hoping to find more acceptance and belonging among the familiar values and traditions that they see somewhat reflected in their own upbringings. This is why Korean dramas are attractive and sympathetic to them” (Ju and Lee 330). For Jessica and Morgan, “It is significant to note that they did not distinguish the Vietnamese culture from the overall East Asian or Asian culture, but rather believed that the Vietnamese culture was similar to some parts of the Korean culture. ![]() Thus, the pan-ethnicity of K-pop is a major drawing factor for the overseas audience. They identified themselves as Vietnamese Americans, but they felt close to the culture that the Korean dramas represented” (Ju and Lee 330). Two of their interviewees reflected this as, “Jessica and Morgan perceived some similarities and differences in East Asian culture based on the Korean dramas they watched, and their cultural perceptions of Korean dramas are deep. Ju and Lee note in their article “The Korean Wave and Asian Americans: the ethnic meaning of transnational Korean pop culture in the USA” that Asian-Americans felt connected to Korean culture regardless of their personal ethnic group. Many young Asian-Americans are self-conscious of their state as others in America and turn to K-pop as a way of finding commonality. K-pop takes advantage of Asian-American “otherness” as part of their marketing technique, thus disqualifying K-pop from acting as a form of Asian-American music advocacy. According to this definition, Chocolat does not fit the standard of Asian-American music because Chocolat’s company used the members’ Asian-Americanness as commodity and noise marketing rather than purposeful growth. Many might consider this fact enough to quality Chocolat’s music as Asian-American music, but I argue that Asian-American music is not just defined by who performs it, but it is also defined by intent. However, what happens when Asian-Americans move past their role as consumers and become direct participants of K-pop? This is the case of Chocolat, a recently disbanded K-pop group that debuted in 2011 who’s concept was based around the fact that most members were mixed race and had lived overseas or been born abroad. K-pop has certainly seen success crossing over into America, as evidenced by multiple concert tours in the US, including sold out tours. For young Asian-Americans who feel stuck between two worlds, K-pop is a way of reconnecting with a form of pan-Asian culture. As a form of transnational media, K-pop has found success with many Asian-Americans identify with and enjoy K-pop because they see a bit of themselves in them. ![]()

Log cabin for sale in michigan12/18/2023 ![]() ![]() Garage rockįrom the garage to inside the house features clean lines and lots of space. Pearson said he’s interested in selling the house furnished, but that would be negotiated at additional cost to the buyer. And actually, the taxidermy guy who did the porcupines for him also did my eagles, up in Escanaba.” The home also features taxidermied “porcupettes,” or baby porcupines. He stuffed them, and then made different arrangements. “He was a puppy at the time and didn’t know what to do, so he started what he thought was playing with them, but he was puncturing them with his teeth. “A guy that I knew in the U.P., his dog accidentally discovered a nest of porcupines,” Pearson said. He also has a stuffed animal moose head wall mount and a stuffed life-sized bear, as well as a few animal sculptures and a pair of taxidermied baby porcupines. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Pearson is one of few people with the right to own taxidermied bald eagles. Credit: The DeVisser Groupīut Pearson loves the look and grace of quality taxidermy, so he’s used it liberally in his log home decor, showcasing animals in various action poses.Īs an enrolled tribal member, Pearson is among few people with the right to own taxidermied bald eagles - of which he has two. His log cabin includes a gun locker room and a shooting range. Seller Greg Pearson has been a target shooter from the age of 12. “I am not a hunter, just a shooter,” he said. ![]() Off the garage is a room-sized gun safe, and about a one-eighth mile walk from the house on his land is a shooting range next to the north branch of the Black River. The property includes ample accommodations for one of Pearson’s favorite hobbies: target shooting. Credit: The DeVisser Group Guns and poses In addition to providing vehicle parking space, the garage is built “condo-style” with living and entertaining space. Secondly, it’s got an attached three-stall garage that’s fully finished as a party space, with a large loft with a bed and living area, appealing clapboard-style walls and sparkling composite floors. For one, it’s bigger, at two stories and 3,700 square feet, with an enormous second-level deck and screened porch overlooking the yard, and a quarter-mile-long paved driveway. Indeed, t he home is not like other log cabins on the market. The quarter-mile driveway is gated at the road for additional privacy. Instead, they set the price based on the value of the acreage and labor and materials costs. Sellers’ agent Brendin DeVisser, with Five Star Real Estate Lakeshore in Holland, said the list price chosen for this home was not based on comparable sales elsewhere, since the home is different from every other house except for its twin in the U.P. “(The Gould City cabin) had very similar acreage, it was all hardwoods and almost the same thing,” Pearson said. To save time and money - and for sentimental reasons - Pearson used the blueprints of the first log home to create this one, but he increased the size and made a few other modifications. The bi-level deck/screen porch is ideal for hosting large parties. The first was designed by Hiawatha Log Homes and was located in Gould City, in the U.P.’s Mackinac County, where his maternal grandmother was born and he still has family ties. Of the homes he’s built, this is Pearson’s second log cabin. It’s exhausting at the same time, but … the key is to enjoy it.” “I find the construction process very fun - it’s very enjoyable,” he said. Though he’s not a builder by trade, Pearson acted as the general contractor for this home, hiring out the work in phases to different subcontractors for separate parts of the process while ensuring a unified vision. Credit: The DeVisser Group Almost one of a kind At more than 3,700 square feet, it’s not your average log cabin. Reluctantly, they are preparing to part with their beautiful three-bedroom, three-bathroom log dwelling after listing it for $1,977,000 on Aug. Keep up with all things West Michigan business. Since their kids have now graduated from college and moved out of Michigan, the Pearsons are picking up stakes and moving to Naples, Fla. ![]()
