7/23/2023 0 Comments White chimpanzee black gorilla![]() To throw bananas in front of black sportspeople is a common racist provocation even today. This is just the latest chapter in a long and ugly line of stereotypes directed against different people like the Irish or Japanese, and Africans and African Americans in particular. AIDS in particular is said to have its origin in the careless dealings of Africans with simians, which they eat or whose blood they use as an aphrodisiac. Images that put men on a level with rats carrying epidemic plagues were part of the ideological escort of anti-Jewish and anti-Chinese racism.Īfrica is labelled as a contagious continent incubating pestilences of all sorts in hot muggy jungles, spread by reckless and sexually unrestrained people. ![]() They are closely related to the labelling of others with the language of contamination and disease. Labelled with diseaseĪnimalisation and even bacterialisation are widespread elements of racist dehumanisation. ![]() They recognised that the white public had been thoroughly conditioned by the dehumanising violence of animal comparisons and simianised representations, as in the reel racism of King Kong. The artists fully understood the interplay of racist ideology, reactionary reporting and southern injustice. The rest of the picture was filled with a monstrous black simian figure baring its teeth and dragging off a helpless white girl. One of the 56 images showed the group of the accused young men beside a newspaper with the headline “Guilty Rape”. ‘Scottsboro Alabama’ carried a foreword by Michael Gold, editor of the communist journal New Masses. In 1935 a picture story by the Japanese artist Lin Shi Khan and the lithographer Toni Perez was published. The Scottsboro Boys were nine black teenagers accused of having raped two young white women. The climax was the hugely successful classic of Hollywood’s horror factory, King Kong.Īt the time of King Kong’s production the public in the US was riveted by a rape trial. It popularised its repellent combination of sexist and racist representations. Literature, arts and everyday entertainment also seized on the issue. Anthropology, archaeology, biology, ethnology, geology, medicine, philosophy, and, not least, theology were some of the fields. In the following centuries, simianisation would enter into different sciences and humanities. His intellectual contemporaries knew well that the stage for this transgressing love-and-rape-story was Africa because, according to the wisdom of the time, drills lived in Guinea. In the story’s first version (1570), a Portuguese woman was exiled to Africa where she was raped by an ape and had his babies.Ī good century onwards the story had entered the realm of Europe’s great philosophical thought when John Locke in his 1689 essay Concerning Human Understanding, declared that “women have conceived by drills”. The history of a narrative by Antonio de Torquemada shows how in this process Africans became demonised and the demons racialised. He characterised the region as a hotbed of monsters, arising from the sexual union of humans and animals. Already Jean Bodin, doyen of the theory of sovereignty, had ascribed the sexual intercourse of animals and humans to Africa south of the Sahara. She eagerly reciprocated and became helplessly hooked.įrom then on, the sexist manifestation of simianisation was intimately intertwined with its racist dimension. Several centuries later in 1633, John Donne in his Metempsychosis even let one of Adam’s daughters be seduced by an ape in a sexual affair.

![]() The fix: To treat a fungal infection on the butt and ease itching, the first step is to keep the area clean and dry since fungi love warm, dark, moist environments, says Dr. If it's fungus that has spread from elsewhere (which can happen by touching an infected area and then touching your backside), you'll usually see signs of it in the form of athlete's foot or toenail fungus, and it will manifest itself in a dry, itchy, scaly rash that can affect both the buttocks and the anus, explains Dr. The yeast-type infection usually only shows up around the anus, and in addition to being extremely itchy, you may notice redness and pimple-like bumps. Time 2017.A fungal infection on the butt generally comes from two possibilities: an overgrowth of the yeast that's normally found in the bowels and on the perianal skin (aka the skin immediately surrounding the anus), or fungus that has spread along the skin from a different area of the body, says Cynthia Bailey, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist based in California. In: Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology. Eczema, atopic dermatitis, and noninfectious immunodeficiency disorders. Pruritis: Etiology and patient evaluation. Pruritis: Therapies for generalized pruritus. Prolonged itching and scratching can increase the intensity of the itch, possibly leading to skin injury, infection and scarring. It might disturb your sleep or cause anxiety or depression. Itchy skin that is severe or lasts more than six weeks can affect the quality of your life. Sometimes the cause of the itching can't be determined. Also, reactions to certain medicines, such as narcotics to treat pain (opioids) can cause itchy skin. Sometimes a substance, such as poison ivy or cosmetics, causes an allergic reaction. Wool, chemicals, soaps and other things can irritate the skin and cause rashes and itching. ![]() Examples include anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. Examples include multiple sclerosis, pinched nerves and shingles (herpes zoster). Itching on the whole body might be a symptom of an underlying illness, such as liver disease, kidney disease, anemia, diabetes, thyroid problems and certain cancers. Examples include dry skin (xerosis), eczema (dermatitis), psoriasis, scabies, parasites, burns, scars, insect bites and hives. You may also need to see a doctor who specializes in internal medicine (internist) to check for other diseases. If the condition persists for three months despite treatment, see a dermatologist to be evaluated for skin disease. Comes with other symptoms, such as weight loss, fever or night sweats.Comes on suddenly and can't be easily explained.Is severe and distracts you from your daily routines or prevents you from sleeping.Lasts more than two weeks and doesn't improve with self-care measures.See your health care provider or a skin disease specialist (dermatologist) if the itching: Breaking this itch-scratch cycle can be difficult. And the more it itches, the more you scratch. As you rub or scratch the area, it gets itchier. Sometimes itchiness lasts a long time and can be intense. Itchy skin can occur without any other noticeable changes on the skin. Itchy skin can affect small areas, such as the scalp, an arm or a leg. 7/23/2023 0 Comments Door on ikea book shelf felx room![]() How do I make my IKEA bookcase look more expensive?

The mobile interfaces are also quite similar. You can find your chats on the left side, they take about one-third of the page, while the active chat takes the remaining two-thirds of the page. The interface of the two apps is quite similar, especially on desktop. Viber, which requires a mobile phone was initially a mobile-only app which means that if you are primarily a mobile user, you’ll most likely find Viber more intuitive than Skype. Since Skype doesn’t require a phone number, it is the clear winner here. This distinction between the two apps exists because of their origin. Instead, Viber uses your mobile phone number as an identifier. On the other hand, Viber doesn’t require a password. If you want to place a call or chat with a person via Skype, you first need to ask them for their username. The username is your unique identifier among the Skype network. On one hand, Skype requires a username and a password. ![]() Both apps are easy and straightforward to install, but they work in very different ways. However, when you take a deeper look at how users interact with the app, the distinction becomes clearer. Since both apps are available on all major platforms, there isn’t a clear winner between the two. Skype is a desktop app first and foremost, while Viber is intended to be used on mobile devices. While both apps are available on desktops and mobile, if you look at their origins, you can see a difference. Skype vs Viber: user experience and interface We’ll also take a look at how you can use the apps to send text messages, share files, coordinate teams, and work on projects together. In this section, we’ll compare how many of such features Skype and Viber offer.

TickTick is a fast-growing task list app that offers a wide array of features on just about every platform you can imagine. Todoist also integrates with Zapier, which means you can automatically create tasks in Todoist whenever something happens in one of your favorite apps. Overall, this is a great first to-do list app to try out, especially if you don't know where to start. And it adds new features regularly: you can view projects as a Kanban board, for example, and navigating the app by keyboard is much smoother after recent updates. Todoist is flexible enough to adapt to most workflows but not so complicated as to overwhelm. ![]() Paid users can create custom filters and labels, and there are also some basic collaboration features.

That's a strong selling point-which is probably why Todoist is one of the most popular to-do lists right now.Īdding tasks was quick on every platform in my tests, thanks in part to natural language processing (type "buy milk Monday" and the task "buy milk" will be added with the next Monday set as your due date). That's kind of the point: this app balances power with simplicity, and it does so while running on basically every platform that exists. Todoist isn't the most powerful to-do list website out there. None of these options will be right for everyone, but hopefully one of them is right for you. I tried to find the task list apps that balance these things in various ways. Which platforms will depend on what you personally use, but I didn't consider anything that doesn't sync between desktop and mobile. The best to-do app fits into your workflow so you can get back to what you're supposed to be doing. Notifications, widgets, emails-if you're using an online to-do list, it should help you track what needs to happen when. Tags, lists, projects, and due dates are all helpful, and the best to-do apps offer at least a few categories like this. Offer multiple ways to organize your tasks. Ideally, a task is added and categorized in a couple taps or keystrokes. I kept this in mind as I tested, and I noticed a few features that made certain apps stand out. Of course, when it comes to managing a to-do list online, everyone has different criteria. In that time, I've personally tried basically every to-do list app that has come out, and I'm usually depending on at least one of them to function. I've written about technology in general, and productivity specifically, since 2009. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog.

So in answer to your question, yes, brooms are uncomfortable. The broom and its rider, soaring ever higher to reach new heights. Once things get off the ground, there's plenty to distract you from any minor discomfort. If it hurts a little while getting airborne, that only contributes to the metaphor. Not surprisingly, the ecstatic sensation of flying draws from the ultimate ecstatic realm of the erotic. They are too soft to survive.Įvery spell requires a power source. I'm seriously worried about this next generation of witches and warlocks we're raising. I bet you brew your curses in an aluminum caldron because cast iron is too heavy and tough to clean. It is pure misery to push a human mind that hard, yet you're troubled about having to rest your delicate parts on a hard wooden staff. It is technically impossible, yet it happens because the caster demands it to. Not about how riding a broom.Ĭomfort? This is magic, the absolute subjugation of physical laws by indominable will power. My question is whether it would be comfortable, whether it would hurt, etc. Also no saddles or anything that makes the broom more motorcycle-like, the point is a broom that is true to its broom design. Note: with no answers involving magic used on the witch or person who will ride the broom, the only magic allowed is the one that makes the broom fly and does not break under the weight of a human being on it. It shouldn't be very comfortable, especially for a man. It's like sitting on the handrail of a ladder with your legs spread and the handrail between them. That said, I ask: What would it be like to ride a broom? Because the broom stays in the air (except when it goes up), but your body, according to the laws of physics, tends to go down. ![]() Witches generally fly with the broom between their legs, although sometimes women fly sitting sideways with both legs together (some men do too, but so far I've seen more women riding the broom like this, like riding a horse in sidesaddle form). A very common trope in witchcraft-themed fictional narratives is the iconic Magic Broom, a magical object made from wood and straw to fly and serve as a vehicle for witches. 7/23/2023 0 Comments Macaroni grill tucsonIn addition to the Rockies, Monfort owns the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa in Southern California and formerly headed ConAgra Red Meats.

Macaroni Grill's sales slumped 3 percent over the 12-month period, and the company closed 26 of the restaurants in 2014.
