An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn’t support his family. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed.Īfter the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. We were overjoyed, and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. We wanted the same way of life in Austria. We were led to believe that everyone was happy. Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group - Jewish or otherwise. We had been told that they didn’t have employment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. Blocks and blocks of cities like Vienna, Linz, and Graz were destroyed.The people became desperate and petitioned the government to let them decide what kind of government they wanted. The Communist Party and the National Socialist Party were fighting each other. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people about 30 daily. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Not that they didn’t want to work there simply weren’t any jobs. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force. I’ve never read that in any American publications. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns it would distort history. I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. What I am about to tell you is something you’ve probably never heard or will ever read in history books. Kitty Werthmann told a powerful story about what it was like growing up under Hitler:

Nous vous proposons de vous communiquer une estimation dans le cadre d'une mise en vente sur notre plateforme et des informations supplémentaires sur l'état du marché pour votre modèle. Models that came with GS-C or RS-A tires were limited to 123 mph.Carprecium est le rapprochement de 2 professionnels reconnus et influents dans leur domaine respectif, Millon Enchères et Le Parking V8 models that had Z rated tires had a speed limiter set to 162 mph. Typically, these limits were 105, 112, 118 mph for the V6 models, but these limits varied from car to car. Top Speeds for both the V6 and the V8 versions were governed according to their factory tire ratings. The V6 models were as quick as almost any V8 produced before 1990, while the V8 Firebirds were faster than almost anything produced in the muscle car era (including all Firebirds). The average ¼ mile times for these were 15.2 90 mph for the V6 and 13.4 106 mph for the V8. The rare Firehawk model made by SLP and sold through Pontiac dealerships had 330 hp (345 after 2000). They featured an all aluminum 5.7L V8 designated the LS1, with 305 hp (310 after 2000), or 320 hp (325 after 2000) for the Ram Air version. The LS1 Firebirds, despite their poor sales, were among the fastest ever produced. The plant closed down after producing the last cars. Like the Chevrolet Camaro, the Firebird and Trans Am were built in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec. The final model year, 2002, offered a distinctive 35th anniversary edition that paid homage to the 1969 Trans Am. These 1998 to 2002 models are sometimes referred to as "fifth generation" Firebirds. In 1998, the Firebird received a new front fascia (now with four pop-up headlights the Camaro's front end was also switched, to two oval headlamps) and other modifications, the most significant of which was the Corvette small block V8 engine known as the LS1. The LT1's hp rating had been raised to 285 thanks to a new dual cat exhaust system.Īs before, the Camaro kept the exposed headlights and the Firebird its pop-up units, with some minor changes. 1996 and later models had a 200 hp 3.8 L V6 as the base engine. The LT1 was very similar to the one in the Corvette C4, only with 2 bolt mains, and a more restrictive intake/exhaust system. In 1993-1995 (1995 non-California cars) Firebirds received a 3.4 L V6 with 160 hp, or a 5.7 L 275 hp LT1 V8. The fourth generation Firebird continued the previous generation's aerodynamic formula, but while a desirable sports car, it was victim to falling sales. While primarily Pontiac-powered until 1981, Firebirds were built with several different engines from nearly every GM division. The vehicles were, for the most part, powered by various V8 motors of different GM divisions. The Firebird was introduced in the same year as the Mercury Cougar, which also shared a platform with another well-known pony car, the Ford Mustang. The car shared the same General Motors "F-Body" platform as the Chevrolet Camaro, also introduced in 1967. Available in both coupé and convertible body styles, the Firebird was characterized by its aggressive styling and affordable muscle car performance. The Pontiac Firebird was a sporty compact car built by the Pontiac Motor Division of General Motors and was manufactured from 1967 until 2002. The workspace itself is organized in the contemporary style with thumbnails in a filmstrip below and adjustment tools in a panel to the right of the preview. Navigating between CK apps is easily accomplished with the dropdown “Open with” submenu of the File menu in each app or the Save and Share icon. And FX Photo Studio is a special-effects app with more than 200 presets in 20 categories including Color Fantasy, Groovy Lo-Fi, Grunge, Vintage and many more.ĭespite the power of the CK apps and Aurora HDR, the learning curve is minimal and no manual is needed. The Snapheal app functions much like content-aware fill in Photoshop, but allows you to brush a mask over the area that you want to remove as well as use a selection to isolate it. Motion blur and tilt-shift functions are also available as well as vignette effects and face detection for portraits. The Focus app allows you to adjust the softness of very specific parts of your image, including the ability to brush on a mask to retain sharpness on a specific area. (Using a stronger-than-needed preset and backing off the opacity turned out to be the quickest way to reduce noise.) The ten adjustable presets in Noiseless give you one-click noise reduction that is often more than adequate for an excellent result while retaining edge sharpness. The Intensify app provides controls for sharpening, enhancing structure and detail, and controlling contrast. The remaining Macphun apps have specific capabilities to extend and simplify the image editing and enhancing process. You can use Aurora HDR with RAW or TIFF file formats and work with single or multiple files to create the final HDR image. Layers are also available with a variety of blend modes and luminosity masking. It provides a range of presets from natural to grunge, with sliders to adjust the look and to blend the HDR image with an original. The new Aurora HDR app is the result of a joint project between Macphun and renowned HDR photographer Trey Ratcliff. As with most of the Macphun apps, a variety of sliders allow you to fine tune the presets to your liking and save the result as a new preset. Its latest update adds presets from respected photographers to the more than 150 presets already available in the program. Macphun’s Tonality app puts the beauty of monochrome imaging at your fingertips. If you are unfamiliar with them, they greatly extend the emasculated capabilities of Photos on the Mac, and function much as the On1 Photo 10 suite, Google Nik Collection and Topaz Labs programs if you are using Photoshop, Lightroom or Affinity on the Mac. Other than Aurora HDR, the other Macphun apps have been around for a while. Free trial downloads of the CK and of Aurora HDR are available from. You can buy the Creative Kit apps individually for $30 to $60 each, but the kit is the better bargain as you will likely find use for more than a couple of them. It’s not part of the $130 Creative Kit, but we gave it a try anyway. The newest addition to the Macphun family is the standalone Aurora HDR app ($99) for creating high dynamic range photos. These function as standalone programs, as part of the CK and as plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements and Photos (El Capitan OS or later). Macphun’s recently updated Creative Kit (CK) is a bundle of six Mac apps: Tonality, Intensify, Noiseless, Focus, Snapheal and FX Photo Studio. In the week or two before a playtest we often adopt an attitude of "we'll fix it later!" for complex problems that arise. We chose the monthly interval because we don't want to be always sprinting - we still need time to tackle things like large refactors or prototypes of new mechanics. Another benefit of these playtests is they function as deadlines - the week or two before one becomes a sprint to prepare the game so that we can maximize the usefulness of that session (and because it's just plain motivating to see your work played!) As expected, we're gaining valuable insights from observing how people from outside of the project experience it. We're currently scheduling one for the end of every month, tapping friends of ours who aren't yet familiar it. We recently started formally playtesting Earthblade! For this game we wanted to wait for quite a long time before beginning playtests, so finally getting here has been very exciting and energizing for us. Earthblade puts you on more of a front foot and tasks you with taking the fight to an enemy, and it will be fascinating to see how this changes the Celeste formula.Maddy here with another EXOK newsletter :) Can you do it? Can you push yourself? Can you make that one brave leap? It was you against nature, you against your own limitations. In Celeste, the biggest challenge was yourself. Earthblade's horned protagonist has throwing daggers and a sword, and has far more enemies they must defeat rather than simply avoid and flee from. However, the major difference is we see more combat here. By the same token, the Earthblade trailer takes us across the sweeping map filled with swamps, traps, chains, and ledges, so it seems to be moving to a similar beat. Each square of the map locked you in - if ever you failed, you just went back to the first ledge of your current screen, meaning doing it once was enough. However, to level the playing field, there was no way to fail. Celeste was an incredibly difficult platformer that relied on precise timing, lateral thinking, and the appliance of creativity in order to master each fiendish jump. The general makeup of Earthblade and Celeste appear similar. It's fitting - the same on the inside, different on the outside. To underline this fresh start, the studio had a name change too. Many players saw Celeste as a trans allegory, and the game's lead, Maddy Thorson, came out as trans in the aftermath of the game. If you don't recognise the name Extremely OK Games, that's because the studio changed it. I'd put Celeste in the all-time indie top ten, alongside the likes of Hades, Undertale, and Stardew Valley, so I'm obviously keen on the follow up. Related: Immortality's Manon Gage Deserves Our ApplauseĮarthblade is made by Extremely OK Games, the team that brought you Celeste. It's still an indie game with a new IP up to two years out from launch, so it's unlikely to be the talk of the town soon, but that's why I'm looking forward to making it my business to keep everyone in the loop. Unless you were a superfan who followed the dev on Twitter, you likely weren't aware of this game prior to the 'world premiere' of its new trailer, and as an indie game with a new IP still two years out from launch, it understandably hadn't made much of a splash before Keighley showed it off. Though not technically a reveal, as the game had been announced several months prior, this was its introduction to the world. Earthblade made its major debut at The Game Awards earlier this month. Being able to hear vowel sounds is helpful and will alert you that speech is present, but it’s the consonant sounds that give speech meaning and help you distinguish one word from another. In speech, the vowel sounds (A, E, I, O and U) are low in pitch while consonant sounds like S, F, Th, Sh, V, K, P and others are high in pitch. While not always the case, high-frequency hearing loss is often the cause of feeling like you can hear but can’t understand. But, high-pitched sounds (such as children's voices) need to be much louder before you can hear them. If you have a sloping hearing loss, it means you are able to hear low-pitched sounds (such as thunder), sometimes even as clearly as someone with normal hearing. People with high-frequency hearing loss are said to have a “sloping” hearing loss. When your hearing is tested, the results are plotted on an audiogram. In this case, the chief symptom may be difficulty with word understanding, especially in noisy situations. Hearing loss comes in all degrees from mild to profound.īut most people, especially older adults, have mild-to-moderate hearing loss, especially the type that makes it harder to hear high-pitched sounds. Hearing loss involves not only the ears, but also the brain where sound is translated into meaningful words. What’s the number one complaint hearing care professionals hear from their new patients with hearing loss? Ask them and they’ll likely say it’s, “I can hear, but I can’t understand.” If this is what you’re experiencing, you may have hearing loss.

And in more typical years, more precipitation is falling as rain than snow, which means it runs off faster and doesn't recharge underground aquifers as much. And the lower the lake gets, the faster it evaporates. Second, climate change is giving the Salt Lake City area hotter summers, which increases evaporation in the lake. WATER CRISIS NEWS Water levels are going up in the West's massive reservoirs. The Salt Lake City area is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country. The water that should be flowing in is instead being used to grow crops or water lawns. Last year, the lake's surface dropped to a record-low elevation of 4,188 feet above sea level because it's not being recharged by rivers. In part, because farmers and residents are using more water than ever before, the lake over the past three years has received less than a third of its natural streamflow.

But experts warn this is a temporary easing of what continues to be a long-term drought compounded by overuse of existing water.

And the person must not have paid to be unlisted. Mobile services aren’t as willing to sell such customer data. The person must have landline telephone service with one of the major providers (CenturyLink or Verizon, for example).

The phone book.Īt Dexpages, you can search for people nationwide by ZIP code to pull up the actual printed white page. I wrote about Dexpages before because CenturyLink, Denver’s major telephone service, also provides its customer data to them. Verizon’s white pages - at /whitepages - take me to, a massive resource of phone numbers. And by searching for “Verizon 411 directory,” that brings us to information about Verizon’s white pages, which - to all the younger folks out there - was the best way to look up residential phone numbers last century. In Maryland’s Harford County, Verizon is the local telephone service provider, according to the county’s official page. If typing in that person’s name and city doesn’t pull up the person, there are more strategic ways to find a number. Of course, hunting for a person’s phone number is a bit challenging online with the wealth of information out there. While you could try dialing 411, which still provides directory assistance for a fee, the old way of life is not coming back. Force yourself to explore the internet, use Google or Bing to search and even consider voice-activated options like Amazon’s Alexa. Q: How do I get a telephone number for a family member?
