Have you looked at a Hot Pocket, then looked at the nutritional facts and then thought to yourself, "Hey, there's not enough calories and saturated fat in it, but I don't want to eat two of them"?
If so, you're in luck because the Hot Pockets Supreme Pizza Deep Dish Pizzeria is heavier than a regular Hot Pocket, but lighter than two. In order make this possible, they didn't just make a regular Hot Pocket bigger, they made it round so it looks like the Hot Pockets version of a pot pie.
However, instead of being filled with turkey, peas, carrots and gravy, it's filled with all of the goodness you would find on top of a supreme pizza: pepperoni, sausage, green and red peppers, olives, onions, mushrooms and reduced fat cheese. All of that filling makes it a little thicker than a regular Hot Pocket and its weight about one and three-fourths heavier.
On the front of this product's box, it brags about how it's a good source of calcium and contains seven essential vitamins and minerals, but as I mentioned at the beginning, it's also a great source of saturated fat and sodium. So you'll beat osteoporosis, but lose to hypertension and heart disease.
If you've had a pizza Hot Pocket before, and I'm sure almost all of you have whether you want to admit it or not, you'll have an idea of what the Hot Pockets Supreme Pizza Deep Dish Pizzeria tastes like, because it just basically a Hot Pocket that's round. The crust tasted the same and the filling had that familiar pizza flavor. I could pick out the flavors of the pepperoni, sausage, peppers and olives, but not so much with the onions and mushrooms.
As for the cheese, there was a lot of it, but it disappointed me because some of it was reduced fat mozzarella and some of it was imitation mozzarella, which means the Hot Pockets Supreme Pizza Deep Dish Pizzeria didn't reach its potential with saturated fat and sodium.
Pros: It's good, if you like Hot Pockets. Heavier than a regular Hot Pocket. Round shape means you can roll it around, if you desire. If you love sodium and saturated fat, you'll like it. 4 grams of fiber. Vitamins and minerals.
Cons: Nothing special, it's just a bigger, round Hot Pocket. Uses reduced fat mozzarella and imitation mozzarella. If you hate sodium and saturated fat, you'll hate it. Using the phrase "Deep Dish" may make Chicagoans upset.
"So you'll beat osteoporosis, but lose to hypertension and heart disease." – Hahah.
What a lame excuse of a "new" product. They should really try a little bit harder and not insult our intelligence…if we've got any. Now how about dousing this in some Tabasco!
@Bear you are so right. Why can't they come up with anything original? It's all the same thing just in a different shape or size. But basically the same doughs and fillings.
Lol – loved the review … hate Hot Pockets though … 540 calories for a small snack is a little nuts.
Between the nutrition facts and the luke warm review… I think that I will stay away!
Even an Italian like me sometimes will crave a hot pocket. Mind you I actually couldn't stomach any American pizza when I moved to the States, but now let's just say that living here for 10 years has made me a lot less picky.
I once ate a good Lean Pocket, but I tried to give another one of these Pizza Pocket things to the Greedy kids and they wouldn't even eat it, so I bet this box Deep Dish version would also suffer freezer burns before being thrown out.
I almost spit out my water reading the first line, Marvo. Can you imagine explaining that to the computer repair people?
Basic Shape Hot Pockets! Collect them all! There's the classic rectangle, the circle, the hexagon, and coming soon, the cone!
@Fran, yeah when I was abroad in France, I could be picky, then when I came back I slowly reacclimated myself to the american style of eating. Took me a couple of months before I could bring myself to buy a croissant at Dunkin Donuts.
The sad thing is that now, if i was drunk, I would look at that saturated fat and calories, laugh, and heat a hot pocket right up.
…and it's in California. Kinda reminds me of the old Pace Picante commercial about New Yorkers but opposite.
"Hot Pockets.." in Jim Gaffigan's voice is all that comes to mind.
BTW…NEVER buy a Hot Pockets Calzone. EVER.
I will occasionally drown a Mexican-style Lean Pocket in salsa and have that for a snack. It's still not healthy in terms of sodium but for quick eats it's better than many other things…such as this, it would seem.
Well someone loves these hot pockets, lean pockets, pizza, calzones, etc because they keep outputting more and more. I was in the freezer section not too long ago and was amazed by the sheer amount of choices.
I love me some Hot Pockets. And yes, I may die from heart disease and hypertension, but darn it all – my bones will be strong from all the cheese I consume in Hot Pockets.
@Bear Silber: A lot of people seem to like Tabasco. I think Hot Pockets should team up with Tabasco to make a new Hot Pocket. I think that would sell. Although, I think the Tabasco lovers will probably say there's not enough Tabasco.
@Tanya: But college kids and cheap people LOOOOVE Hot Pockets.
@wouldibuyitagain: Oh, but when you're drunk, walking through the freezer aisle, it will call for you.
@Fran: Italian, eh? You must hate Macaroni Grill. I just have this feeling that Italians hate Macaroni Grill.
@Yum Yucky: Wow. Your kids are good. When I was a kid, I would be all over a Hot Pocket, which would explain why I was a chubby kid.
@amanda: I wish Hot Pocket had an anagram that dealt with alcohol.
@Steve D: I would make up an awesome story, like you entered a wet keyboard contest at a club. Just like wet t-shirt contests makes d-bags excited, a wet keyboard contest would make geeks hot. I'm sure the water would make the home keys hard.
@Neil the hammer: Chicagoans might disagree.
@Woodenhand: Oh, you're kind of missing out. It's something all Americans should experience at least once in their life.
@skibs: Too late. I've purchased two in the past.
@Chuck: You know what? That actually sounds good. I don't have salsa, but I do have lots of Taco Bell sauce packets.
@amanda: They have paninis now. I have one in my freezer.
@Clevegal42: But, just to remind you, some of it is fake cheese. Also, just like those Total Cereal commercials, it would take you ten Hot Pockets to get the same amount of calcium in a bowl of Total Cereal.
I'm so hungry right now that actually looks good. 🙁 Is that sad or what?
Hotpockets also make good weapons Marvo. Especially since this one is decidedly heavier!
@Heidi: Don't listen to your tummy!
@JamieSusan: You're right they do make good weapons, but only if you squirt the hot contents of the Hot Pocket into the eyes of an enemy.
@Britney: Try a Target. I also saw them there.
But seriously…why waste your time eating the damn thing? Might as well just skip ahead 4 minutes by putting it directly into the toilet!

First Statewide UAS Traffic Management System Lands In Kansas
Posted: August 10, 2017 at 3:16 pm EDT by John Celock | Updated: August 10, 2017 at 10:01 pm EDT
Kansas officials have announced a partnership with a California based company that will set up the first statewide unmanned aerial systems traffic management system in the nation.
The state Department of Transportation announced this week that the state will partner with AirMap, a California based company, to implement the statewide system. State aviation officials say that partnership will allow for the state's burgeoning UAS sector to grow.
"The key takeaway from this partnership is that drones currently do not have an efficient way to communicate with those responsible for air space," Kansas UAS Director Robert Brock told The Celock Report. "This tool connects all drone operators and air space responsible parties in one seamless communication system."
According to Brock, the partnership will involve AirMap providing technology to the state to allow for more communication between the drones and air traffic control. Currently, procedures for air traffic management rely on drone operators communicating directly with air traffic control along with visual line of site rules for drone operators.
Brock said that airports, state agencies and higher educational institutions in the state will have access to the AirMap technology for use in drone air traffic management. The technology from AirMap will allow for a statewide UAS air traffic management system that includes communication safety information from state and local agencies to drones for flight planning and awareness, increasing communications between drone operators and government, increasing awareness about drone regulations, automating the airspace notification for airports in the state, technology for geofencing and remote identification for drones to increase privacy and safety and helping to enable operations outside of line of site rules.
Brock said that KDOT has been looking for a technology partner to develop a statewide UAS air traffic management system and found AirMap's system to be one that allowed them to bring it to a statewide scale quickly.
"The biggest impact is that we will be able to operate in a cooperative manner using efficient communication as the method to protect the drone operator from liability and the manned aviator from unnecessary danger," he said.
Kansas has seen a growing UAS industry in the state, primarily centered at Kansas Polytechnic University in Salina, but with other sites around the state. The UAS industry has included the creation of a statewide UAS research triangle amongst the several state universities and FAA certification of a training center in the state. State officials have been focused on expanding the industry for economic development. Much of the drone research and development at KState Poly has been focused on the use of drones in agricultural, homeland security and emergency management settings.
State officials said that Kansas being home to the first statewide drone air traffic management will help position the state for growth in the sector.
"Kansas is again leading the way in UAS and it's important that we take this opportunity seriously as it relates to research and development and premium wage job creation," said state House Transportation and Public Safety Budget Committee Chairman J.R. Claeys (R-Salina), who has been focused on UAS economic development issues.
Kansas has been one of several states focused on the UAS industry, along with North Dakota and Oklahoma. All three states have higher education programs focused on UAS research and development and have created statewide policy programs on the issue. North Dakota has created a research and development program at the University of North Dakota, including making UAS a focus for state aviation officials. Oklahoma officials have put UAS and innovation issues in the hands of a state cabinet official.
Brock told The Celock Report that he believes that the creation of a statewide air traffic management for drones in Kansas can make the state a model to other states.
"We really believe that because general aviation is such a major industry in Kansas, it is important to us to lead this effort in a way that sets an important standard for the country," Brock said. "We believe that by taking a leadership role we can demonstrate to other states to help create a seamless unmanned air traffic system around the country."

News Release 11-Jan-2021
Towards Exawatt-class lasers
Researchers from Osaka University propose a concept for next-generation ultra-intense lasers, possibly increasing the current record from 10 Petawatts to 500 Petawatts
IMAGE: Concept for Exawatt-class lasers view more

Osaka, Japan -- Ultra-intense lasers with ultra-short pulses and ultra-high energies are powerful tools for exploring unknowns in physics, cosmology, material science, etc. With the help of the famous technology "Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA)" (2018 Nobel Prize in Physics), the current record has reached 10 Petawatts (or 10^16 Watts). In a study recently published in Scientific Reports, researchers from Osaka University proposed a concept for next-generation ultra-intense lasers with a simulated peak power up to the Exawatt class (1 Exawatt equals 1000 Petawatts).
The laser, which was invented by Dr. T. H. Maiman in 1960, has one important characteristic of high intensity (or high peak power for pulse lasers): historically, laser peak power has experienced two-stage development. Just after the birth of the laser, Q-switching and mode-locking technologies increased laser peak power to Kilowatt (10^3 Watt) and Gigawatt (10^9 Watt) levels. After CPA technology was invented by Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland in 1985, by which material damage and optical nonlinearity were avoided, laser peak power was dramatically increased to Terawatt (10^12 Watt) and Petawatt (10^15 Watt) levels. Today, two 10-Petawatt CPA lasers have been demonstrated in Europe (ELI-NP laser) and China (SULF laser), respectively.
At present, the facility scale of Petawatt lasers around the world is very large and project investment is also very high. The next step for future ultra-intense lasers is to further increase the peak power by compressing the pulse duration instead of increasing the pulse energy.
In their previous study (OSA Continuum, DOI: 10.1364/OSAC.2.001125), this group developed a new design, "Wide-angle Non-collinear Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplification (WNOPCPA)," to increase the amplified spectrum and accordingly reduce the compressed pulse. The key mechanism of WNOPCPA is to increase the overall bandwidth by using a multiple-beam pump, which corresponds to different amplified spectra. "However, the pump interference, in addition to induced possible damage, is a potential problem in applying WNOPCPA to a huge project," explains corresponding author Zhaoyang Li.
In this newly improved design, by using a two-beam pumped WNOPCPA and carefully optimized phase-matching, pump interference is completely avoided, and an ultra-broadband bandwidth with two broad spectra is accomplished, resulting in <10 fs high-energy laser amplification. When this laser is combined with post-compression technology, the spectral broadening induced by nonlinear effects is significantly enhanced, and the simulation shows the record of the highest peak power can be pushed to the Exawatt class.
"This design has two advantages: one is ultra-broadband amplification in WNOPCPA and the other is enhancement of nonlinear spectral broadening in post-compression. This research may provide a possible way to further increase laser peak power, even up to the Exawatt class," says Zhaoyang Li.
The article, "Simulating an ultra-broadband concept for Exawatt-class lasers," was published in Scientific Reports at DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-80435-6.

non-misogynist romance movies
I was looking at iTunes movie listings recently and was appalled to see that some hard-core misogynist movies are listed in the Romance category. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, for instance. I haven't seen the movie because it sounds like a huge reeking piece of misogyny - naturally coming from Judd Apatow - based on every review I've read. But if even half of what is described in this review at Tiger Beatdown is true, it is best if I don't watch the movie because if I did, I would have an irresistible urge to hunt down Apatow and every evil freak who green-lighted this movie.
I did, unfortunately, see Love Actually. I don't want to relive that experience. Read the NYTimes review of Love Actually to get some idea of how obnoxious and misogynist this movie is. And so many people think this is such a charming lovely Christmas movie. Morons. It's "romance" as conceived by evolutionary psychologists - a field of dreams for men of all ages, and a horrible nightmare for any woman over 30. You think I exaggerate? Compare these two scenarios from the movie:
Guy considered ugly in the UK goes to America where the women love his accent so much that he is taken back to an apartment to have a five-way - I kid you not - with them. And then he finds true love with one of them and goes back to the UK with her and another one in tow, to give to his buddy like some retarded sexbot souvenir.
Laura Linney, who should be horse-whipped for accepting this role, plays an American woman who can not have love ever again because her brother, a violent psychotic, has access to a telephone literally twenty-four hours a day at the psych ward he is committed to and therefore calls her all the time night and day. That's the only "love" that Linney's character gets - with a violent psychotic brother living at the worst psychiatric facility ever.
Apparently, once upon a time, romance movies with strong female characters weren't considered "chick flicks" and even men could admit to enjoying them. I expect this is because at the height of the age of the Patriarchy there was no question that women were inferior to men, so men could enjoy a strong woman character without feeling pussy-whipped. But no longer. Now that Patriarchy is on the defensive, the only way for a bro to enjoy a movie about romance is to ensure that women are humiliated, as in the Sarah Marshall movie, or humiliated (Emma Thompson's character) AND deprived of romantic love entirely due to being the slave of a psycho (Linney), while the all the male characters' dreams come true in Love, Actually.
That's how evil filmmakers are these days. I would have said "Hollywood" but Love Actually was made in the UK.
There are, however, the rare pro-woman, even, *gasp* feminist romances out there. The minority to be sure, which is why it's important to make a list. I decided to start making that list:
His Girl Friday - this is a feminist movie by accident - the Rosalind Russell character, Hildy, was originally a male but the director changed it. Also, ad-libbing was allowed so Russell hired a writer to give her bon mots to give her character. But even if by accident, I'll take it. Because it was originally written for a man, the character's trajectory is to want to get out of the newspaper business and go live in the sticks and settle down and get married, but can't because he's too good a journalist. They couldn't change that without ruining the story entirely so they were stuck with it - even for a woman. And bonus - the boring guy that Hildy ultimately rejects is Ralph Bellamy and she ends up with Cary Grant. Talk about a no-brainer.
The Little Mermaid - Katha Pollitt and I vehemently disagree on this one. Pollitt thinks that just because the evil character Ursula sings about how mermaids don't need to talk to get a man, and ends up right, it proves that The Little Mermaid is sexist. Pollitt didn't watch the movie very carefully because the reason that Prince Eric resists Ariel in spite of the fact that he thinks she's pretty and he likes her personality is exactly because she can't talk - and in his first woozy encounter with Arial, after she saved his life, he remembers she was singing. But even without her voice, Arial manages to communicate with Eric. But also, her character is filled with intellectual curiosity - she's virtually a mermaid archeologist, with a collection of human artifacts that she tries to figure out. She becomes attracted to Eric while on one of her expeditions to the surface, in defiance of her father, who hates humans. And perhaps most importantly of all, she is driven by shameless lust. This is rare enough in any movie much less a Disney movie. And in fact you really get a sense of progress when you consider that the last Disney fairy tale animation before this one was Sleeping Beauty, in which the title character, well, slept through virtually the entire movie. What a difference from Ariel. People who think the Little Mermaid is sexist are all wet.
Cassanova - was a delightful surprise. I rented this because I thought Heath Ledger was damnned cute, but I was prepared to grit my teeth through the interchangeable-sexbot view of women which I figured was inevitable with any story about Cassanova and wow, that was so not this movie! Instead the heroine is awesome - an 18th century proto-feminist philosopher. Cassanova falls in love with her and they end up on the road together as a traveling theatre troupe and the heroine becomes a playwright. Swoon. It's a total fantasy but so what? And on top of that, there's quite a bit of Catholic-church bashing throughout. Which makes this pretty much a perfect movie.
More non-misogynist romance movies to come...

How malls are remaking the holiday experience
Tech-enabled traditions keep consumers celebrating safely
NRF Contributor
Chuck Steelman joined Trademark Property Company as vice president of experience just this summer. His first task was reimagining the holiday season in the midst of a pandemic. While many of Trademark's properties are outdoor, mixed-use properties, the four-story Galleria Dallas is an indoor space that is deeply embedded in many families' holiday traditions.
Steelman, a former Neiman Marcus Group executive, spoke with NRF about the challenges and opportunities in creating magic this holiday season.
Chuck Steelman,
VP, Experience,
Trademark Property Company
What is the biggest hurdle in creating a holiday event in 2020?
The biggest hurdle is crowd control. Naturally, for shopping centers, malls and department stores, this is the busiest time of year. We want to make sure we're offering opportunities for people to visit the shopping center and feel safe.
Sometimes a disruption like the pandemic can force us to rethink the way things have always been done. What opportunities does this create for a new type of holiday tradition?
We're embracing technology to eliminate crowds and to improve the guest experience. When you go online and register to visit Santa, you select a 15-minute window, so everyone is socially distanced while they wait. Because it's all digital, you can enter the child's name and a few special gifts they're anticipating.
The minute the child steps into the experience, Santa can address the child by name and say, 'I know you're looking forward to the new Barbie doll.' The child can have a really cool conversation with Santa.
Most of Trademark's properties invested in a new Santa set. Santa is going to be six feet away, but still offer a magical experience that families look forward to. At Galleria Dallas, we have a three-level sleigh with Santa at the top. The second level is clear, and the family stands on the bottom level. When you take the photo, it looks like you're in the sleigh with Santa. We've eliminated the need to look at a screen and select just one photo. You will receive all the photos that are taken digitally. We have taken extra steps to make the entire experience as touchless as possible.
Another initiative we've instituted is curbside pickup. Many of our retailers will allow shoppers to order over the phone or online and have merchandise delivered directly to their vehicles. Furthermore, our virtual Talent Talk series has brought shoppers virtually into our stores to see trunk shows, seasonal merchandise and more.
How has COVID changed the way holiday engagement looks?
When I first realized the pandemic wasn't going to go away before Christmas, I started to look at how we would need to handle holidays differently. Since most schools are not allowing their choirs to perform, this eliminated the opportunity to host those entertainers. That has required us to come up with some new ways of engaging the community throughout the holiday season.
We partnered with Snow Day Dallas, an immersive experience with amazing Instagrammable moments. One room might be upside-down, where you are standing next to the hanging chandelier with the Christmas Tree and sofa above your head. The photography is all digital and guests can also use their smartphones. There will be 10 to 12 different vignettes that customers can enjoy. That's one example of something that we've done to preserve the magic of Christmas while remaining safe.
You have incorporated a lot of local nonprofits, who have undoubtedly been struggling in 2020. How has that been received and what advice would you offer other retailers about this initiative?
Trademark Properties and Galleria Dallas have always valued being important community partners. This year, charities have faced new challenges due to the pandemic. In August, Galleria Dallas partnered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Texas and hosted an art auction and exhibit created by the children who have benefited from the foundation. The partnership raised $10,000, which is the amount Make-A-Wish needs to grant a wish.
This month-long activation allowed the community to come in and view the art in person throughout the month based upon their schedule. Additionally, the art was displayed online where supporters could view the art and bid.

The success of that partnership led to a monthly charity installation. It has been a great way to engage with our customers, to allow them to know that we're still relevant and still supporting the community.
In November, we're hosting Fashion Group International of Dallas with "Fashion Meets Mask." FGI commissioned 60 face masks from celebrities, local influencers and fashion designers. The masks will be on display until November 30, and customers can view in person or online and bid on their favorites. Then 100 percent of the proceeds goes to fund scholarships for fashion and marketing students.
The charities are grateful, and it requires minimal effort on their part. This is a unique way that Galleria Dallas and Trademark Property have differentiated themselves as community partners.
At Galleria Dallas, our ice skating rink hosts the nation's tallest indoor Christmas tree. For decades, it has been a tradition for people to stay at the Westin and skate around the tree. The Galleria Ice Skating Center traditionally produces an incredible series of weekly ice skating shows that features world and Olympic champions skating along with over 100 youth skaters. Normally, each show attracts thousands of guests crowded along the rail on all four levels of the center.
We couldn't do that this year and encourage safe social distancing. So, on December 6, after the center closes we'll partner with the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center to sell access to family-sized pods along the four levels of the ice rink for a holiday ice skating extravaganza. 100 percent of the proceeds benefit the DCAC, and we'll be able to maintain the magic for those families who love our Grand Tree Lighting events.
At Trademark Property, we are committed to being the leader in experiential offerings. We have an ongoing series of initiatives that we plan to implement long after the holidays are over. The future of retail engagement requires that we create experiences that move and engage our communities.

While Lee saw the assault as the final piece of a Confederate victory, General James Longstreet disagreed with Lee's plan to attack Meade's center and urged him to maneuver around Meade's left. Lee refused and ordered Longstreet to attack the Union center with Pickett's and two of Hill's divisions, which consisted of fewer than 15,000 men to advance three-quarters of a mile across open fields. Ultimately, Longstreet ordered 150 pieces of Confederate artillery to soften the Union line. Beginning at 1:07 PM, the guns bombarded the enemy for about two hours but Meade's line suffered little; at about 3:00 PM, Longstreet reluctantly ordered the attack. Pickett's three brigades, joined by six more from Hill's division on their left and two others in reserve, marched across the open field between Seminary and Cemetery Ridges; the assault, begun in valor, ended in disaster. The Union artillery destroyed the charge, as barely half of the Confederates returned to their lines. Pickett lost two-thirds of his men, and all three of his brigadiers and all thirteen of his colonels were killed or wounded. Although General Meade did not pursue a counterattack, the Army of the Potomac achieved victory, as they held their ground against the Confederate's famous assault, Pickett's Charge.
The third day of the Battle of Gettysburg has been portrayed in various types of media, including films and television shows, novels, and paintings. In the 19th century cycloramas were a popular way of depicting historical events. Cycloramas were first devised in Europe at the end of 18th century and became popular in the capital cities of Europe. In the United States, however, they became popular after the Civil War. Cycloramas are massive, circular, panoramic oil canvases that are displayed in specially constructed buildings and enhanced with landscaped foregrounds featuring trees, grasses, fences, and even life-sized figures. A three-dimensional effect was established, so that the viewers could be in the middle of the historic scene by standing on the central platform. In the 1880s, European artists conceived seven cycloramas that depicted the Civil War battles at Gettysburg, Atlanta, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Second Manassas, Lookout Mountain/ Missionary Ridge, and the Hampton Roads naval combat of March 1862. Only two of these works survive to dazzle modern audiences; the Battle of Atlanta Cyclorama in Atlanta's Grant Park and one of the four versions of its Battle of Gettysburg counterpart, located at Gettysburg National Military Park.
The painter of the Gettysburg cyclorama was French artist Paul Philippoteaux who had specialized in the huge oil canvases since 1871, when he was 25. He came to the United States in 1879 after being hired by a group of entrepreneurs to paint a recreation of the famous battle for a special display in Chicago. Over several months in 1882, Philippoteaux made sketches on the battlefield and hired local photographer William Tipton to shoot panoramic vistas from a wooden tower to help him recall the landscape with accuracy. He also consulted the official maps at Washington and corresponded with a number of veterans of the battle, including Union Generals Winfield Scott Hancock and Abner Doubleday, who helped the painter with suggestions on how to depict the chaos of the battle. (General Hancock was severely wounded during Pickett's Charge; General Doubleday was not involved in the fighting on July 3 due to a neck injury sustained on July 2.) Philippoteaux returned to his studio in Paris to commence painting the first version of his great work. The cyclorama took two years to complete as the painter employed 20 artists to help him produce his monumental canvas, using specialists in figure, equestrian and landscape painting.
Measuring about 20,000 square feet, the cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg was a masterpiece, as the canvas magnificently recreated the climatic moments of Pickett's Charge with breathtaking grandeur. It was immediately praised as a "marvel of artistic learning and sentiment." From the topography (the looming Round Tops bathed in haze and the famous copse of trees near the Confederate High-Water Mark) to the portraiture (Winfield Scott Hancock in his full magnificence, Lewis Armistead falling dead) to the ancillary incidents of war (mangled casualties, broken fieldpieces, and a military hospital trying desperately to function in a shed amidst the horror), the cyclorama brilliantly evoked not only the drama but the sheer confusion of the battle. Although the cyclorama was splendidly created, it depicted some factual errors: a house is present that did not exist during the battle; Confederate Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead is shot off his horse, while he was on foot when he was shot; the omission of a line of Federals tasked to shoot shirkers; and a cluster of haystacks straight out of Holland, not Pennsylvania, was displayed.
Although Paul Philippoteaux created four versions of the Gettysburg cyclorama, only the second (Boston) version survived. He would later create replicas for both New York City and Philadelphia. Pamphlets were created to accompany each version. The pamphlet for the Philadelphia cyclorama (see above) consisted of the biography of Paul Philippoteaux, a description of the work's creation, and an explanation of the different scenes of the cyclorama. It also included a speech delivered at Gettysburg on August 27, 1883 by General Alexander S. Webb of the Philadelphia Brigade for the dedication of the 72nd Pennsylvania Volunteers' Monument. The pamphlet has a personal account of a Union soldier who fought on the Round Tops. Rosters of both Pennsylvania and New Jersey regiments during the battle were displayed. At the end of the pamphlet is a letter written by former soldier Rev. J.C. Sunderlin from Flemington, New Jersey to doctors in Philadelphia who treated his injury. Although Sunderlin was injured during the Battle of Fredericksburg when a bullet was lodged into his spine, his statement was important because the citizens were honoring their local veterans of the Civil War, and Sunderlin was able to explain how he survived his agonizing ordeal.
Philadelphia's exhibition of the cyclorama opened its doors in 1885 at the northeast corner of the intersection of Broad and Cherry Streets. Charles Hale, a captain of the 5th New Hampshire Volunteers, was on hand to address the audience about the battle, and the realistic battle scenes stunned guests. The cyclorama stayed in Philadelphia for several years before it was destroyed.
Today, the cyclorama – restored to its former glory – continues to amaze people, as they watch the Battle of Gettysburg come to life.

Overview Lip injections are used to plump up and rejuvenate your lips, creating a full and beautiful smile.
The Ideal Candidate Lip fillers can be used to add or restore fullness, correct lips that curl under, and improve symmetry.
Lip injections are used to plump up and rejuvenate your lips, creating a full and beautiful smile.
Lip fillers can be used to add or restore fullness, correct lips that curl under, and improve symmetry.Facial fillers can be used to add volume, soften lines and wrinkles, enhance natural contours, and improve symmetry.
Lip injections can be used to add volume to the lips, accentuating them and helping to create a beautiful smile.
The lip fillers we use for your lips are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance found in your body that helps your skin to retain moisture. Unfortunately, naturally occurring hyaluronic acid disappears as you age and due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, which contributes to the development of wrinkles and volume loss.
Juvederm— one of our most popular dermal fillers—turns hyaluronic acid from an acid into a gel, helping it last much longer upon injection. The two types of Juvederm fillers we use most often for the lips are Volbella® and Juvederm® Ultra Plus.
The results, which are frequently achieved through a single treatment, can last for up to one year. Your skin's natural tone and condition will affect this, as will lifestyle factors like whether or not you smoke. You might need subsequent touch-ups to ensure you maintain your desired outcome.
The two types of Teosyal fillers we use most often for the lips are Teosyal Kiss and Teosyal RHA.
The Teosyal® Pen works by automatically and slowly releasing filler at a pre-determined, consistent speed to maximize patient comfort. Your cosmetic surgeon will choose the mode and speed—ranging from flow to drop, slow to fast, and small to large—based on the objectives of your treatment. In most cases, going slowly produces the best, most natural results and keeps patients at ease.
How Do I Choose the Right Lip Filler?
Ultimately, the best way to determine which type of filler will be right for you is to talk to an experienced medical professional.
During your consultation at the Brampton Cosmetic Surgery Center and Medical Spa, an Injection Specialist will speak with you about what you would like to achieve and any specific skin-related concerns you may have. They will then be able to recommend the filler that is best suited to address your needs and give you full, luscious lips.
An experienced injection specialist oversees lip filler treatments to ensure your safety and comfort. Similar to Botox, the injections are given after treatment areas are cleansed. The procedure is done as patients lay on an exam table in a slightly raised position or sit upright.
The length of each procedure depends on the patient's desired outcomes and the condition of treatment areas.
Because your lips are more sensitive, it is normal to feel some pain (typically a pinching sensation) as the needle enters you skin. Our injection specialists will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment areas in advance, and all the dermal fillers we use contain lidocaine, a medication used to numb the tissue.
Should you feel any excessive pain, tell the injection specialist.
Are there risks associated with lip injections and fillers?
Lip injections can cause some minor side effects including swelling, itchiness, bruising, and mild pain. Conditions should subside within the first two weeks (often within the first few days).
If symptoms worsen, contact us.
We recommend avoiding strenuous activities, not sleeping on the injection site, and advise you to rest with the head elevated immediately after the procedure.
Overall, dermal injections don't require much downtime. We encourage you to return to work and daily activities once symptoms subside.
Can I receive lip injections if I am prone to or have cold sores?
If you suffer from the herpes simplex virus (cold sores), please make sure you advise us. We will ask you about this prior to your treatment and on your health questionnaire.
In most cases we would advise against receiving lip injections if you have active cold sores, as that can cause the rashes to spread. If the virus has been dormant for some time, we still require that you take any medication that has been prescribed both before and after any treatment sessions to reduce the risk of reactivating it. Brampton Cosmetic can provide you with a prescription for an antiviral medication if required.

La Mela has been serving amazing Italian cuisine on "Little Italy's" Mulberry Street for the past 25 years. The open kitchen is in one of the several dining rooms that can accommodate up to 400 guests. The dining rooms display photographs of their famous and not-so-famous dinner guests. As soon as I arrived I felt like I had returned "home." Benny could not have been more charming or friendly. His suggestions were spot-on!
I started my meal with the shredded iceberg lettuce salad with chopped tomatoes and an abundance of sliced fresh garlic - all tossed in their signature oil, vinegar & herb dressing. A basket of warm, crusty Italian bread arrived with the salad; the perfect solution for gathering the remaining salad dressing on my plate.
For dinner I took Benny's suggestion and had the homemade tri-color tortellini. The tortellini was stuffed with roasted garlic and ricotta cheese. Tossed in a light marinara sauce exploding with fresh tomato and basil, it was the best tortellini I've eaten. Period!
Benny told me my meal would be incomplete without a slice of their famous tiramisu. The combination of espresso, mascarpone (an Italian triple-cream cheese made from creme fraiche) and cocoa was heavenly. I was so happy that I did not say no.
Run, don't walk and get in line (reservations recommended) for a scrumptious plate of Italy!


2John 2-3; Because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever grace mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love.
Last time we noted that when equilibrium between the power of doctrinal truth resident in the soul that corresponds to the power of the filling ministry of the Holy Spirit capacity for blessing is established.
Capacity for supergrace blessing from God can only be developed from persistent positive volition under the daily function of the divinely provided GASP.
GASP is how the believer understands, recognizes, and acquires supergrace blessing from God. There can be temporary shortages but there are no chronic shortages in God's grace system. Chronic shortages only occur when believers are outside of the will of God because they try to misuse God's grace system.
Heb 10:35-36, "Don't throw away as worthless your confidence in doctrine that has a great reward..."
Spiritual maturity is the result of persistent consistency in learning Bible Doctrine.
Bible Doctrine in the stream of consciousness of the soul produces confidence, Job 5:24-27; 2Cor 5:6-8; Heb 10:35.
It orients the believer to God's plan, will and policy because it reveals God's purpose and objectives; 1Pet 5:5-10; Isa 26:3-4; Rom 8:28.

Fans Are Using AI to Make Their Favorite Pop Stars Sing Whatever They Want
Taylor Alexis Heady Published: January 23, 2023
What if you could hear your favorite pop star sing literally anything you want?
Some fans are making that a reality using AI technology to make it sound like stars such as Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga are singing covers of songs by the likes of Lana Del Rey, Normani and more.
And the results are eerily realistic.
Just listen to Ari sing Normani's 2019 single below:
One edit of Ariana singing SZA's "Kill Bill" even has over 2 million views on Twitter.
In another TikTok, the user makes it sound like Ariana is singing Olivia Rodrigo's "All I Want" seemingly by using a website called BandLab.
The AI also transcends languages, such as one viral video of Ariana's voice singing Anitta's "Envolver."
Fans have also given Lady Gaga's voice the AI treatment with a cover of Lana Del Rey's "Video Games."
"Why isn't it on Spotify," one person commented.
"I need them to collaborate immediately," another fan wrote.
However, not everyone finds the AI covers so entertaining, such as one person who commented, "I THINK ITS SCARY."
Another person agreed with that sentiment on Twitter.
"These AI singing snippets are genuinely creepy and scary as f--- like I need ya'll to shut this down," they wrote.
On the other hand, some fans have been making requests, including one person who tweeted, "Somebody make an AI of Whitney Houston singing ain't no other man by Christina Aguilera. Now."
"Someone generate Ariana singing a Harry [Styles] song QUICK," another fan wrote.
"I hate AI but can someone please do Beyoncé singing 'Emily' by From First to Last. After that….end this!" someone else added.
Regardless, AI has become a much more prevalent part of our lives.
In one TikTok, a content creator digs into the kinds of websites that allow users to create AI vocals using an array of song options and singers to choose from.
In another TikTok, two men demonstrate how an AI track is made.
Using a web portal, they tell the AI technology what kind of song they want: "a party anthem in the style of Charli XCX/Ava Max."
The website then creates an entire song based on their criteria.
Ava Max hypes their creation in her own video duetting the pair. Watch below:

Complexity and production/comprehension asymmetries in the acquisition of wh-questions in French
Comparing second language acquisition and language impairment in children

Assuming that production places a greater burden on processing than comprehension, this study explores the hypothesis that both the degree of linguistic computational complexity entailed in a particular structure and the processing capacity of the speakers determine if and when production/comprehension asymmetries will surface. Elicited production and comprehension of French wh-questions were studied in 29 English-speaking children acquiring French as a second language (L2) and 27 French-speaking children with Specific Language Impairment, aged 6 to 12. Results confirm the hypothesis and underline the fundamental role of complexity in language acquisition, pointing to implications for the effects of first language transfer, age of onset and length of exposure in L2 acquisition, and on differences between children with and without language pathology.
Keywords: child L2 acquisition, computational complexity, French, length of exposure, processing capacity, production-comprehension asymmetry (asymmetries), Specific Language Impairment, transfer/L1 transfer wh-questions, working memory

EBSCO Information Services Creates Open Policy for Data Sharing
EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO), the leading provider of aggregated content resources for libraries, has released its new policy on metadata sharing and technology collaboration. EBSCO will make all metadata (and full text when contractually allowed) available for more than 120 full-text databases and 500,000+ e-books, as well as over 50 historical digital archives to third party discovery services. The policy outlines EBSCO's commitment to exchanging metadata and integrating technologies with partner vendors to enable an enhanced discovery experience for mutual customers.
EBSCO's new policy covers critical areas of mutual collaboration with other discovery vendors. In addition to the sharing of metadata (and full text where allowed), the policy includes EBSCO providing assistance with linking technology that has been requested by customers.
EBSCO Information Services Executive Vice President, Sam Brooks says: "We believe that by outlining our plan in an open way, we are encouraging greater partnerships and transparent goals for collaboration among ILS vendors, discovery providers and content providers. It's been a long time coming for such an open policy, but we are excited to take this step, and we're confident that our customers, and ultimately their end users, will benefit greatly."
Just as libraries that use a third party discovery service will experience the benefit of inclusion of EBSCO content and linking technology, the working partnership calls for discovery vendors who are also ILS providers to enable patron catalog functionality within EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS). This will ensure that the desired user experience is achieved for customers who choose EDS as their front end. In the end, all customers win—those who have chosen EDS, as well as those who are using another discovery solution.
The full policy including partnership terms and policies and features is available at: www.ebscohost.com/metadata-sharing-policy.
