I LOVE grilled pineapple, but never think to do it on my own, so I threw some on my grill pan (too gross and rainy to actually be grilling right now.) and brought out some of the sugars for a deep caramelized flavor. GRILLED PINEAPPLE COCONUT MARGARITAS RECIPE I buy a pineapple at least every other week, chop it up, freeze it, and then regularly add it to my kale smoothies for a little touch of sweetness. I love traveling and far-off beaches, but I'm also very much a homebody and my family room with my husband, dog, cocktail, and a book is my ultimate happy place. And you know, I think I can live with that for now. Or, if it continues to be cold and rainy, on my couch with a huge furry blanket and the gas fireplace on. So for now, it's drinks like these Grilled Pineapple Coconut Margaritas on my backyard deck. Then I'll probably feel better leaving her. So pathetic, right? This spring and summer I'm putting her through her own personalized boot camp (designed by me) to help her build confidence and socialization and to get rid of her fear and anxiety. I've become that person who doesn't want to go on vacation because I don't want to leave my dog. We just have a lot going on right now and moving into the summer and also. The perfect reason to celebrate on a beach with a mixed drink or twelve. I would do anything for a tropical vacation right now and kind of think I have a good excuse for one, considering Chris and I are celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary in June (!!!). In the meantime, let's just sip on tropical drinks and pretend that the 80 degrees and sunny Easter weather stuck around. At the very worst, we can just remind ourselves that April showers bring May flowers and Monday is officially May! One minute it looks nice and sunny and the next minute it's pouring. At least tomorrow really is Friday now, but every time I look at the weather forecast for the weekend, it's different. I think it probably has something to do with the fact that it's been cold and rainy and miserable all week long. Then when I called Chris on my way home from work, he said, "at least tomorrow is Friday!" I had to break it to him that "nope, tomorrow is still just Thursday" and he almost didn't believe me. Has this week been the LONGEST week ever for anyone else? I spent most of yesterday thinking it was Thursday and had to keep reminding myself we were only midway through the week. This Grilled Pineapple Coconut Margarita is easy to make and perfect as a tropical cocktail! Pineapple is delicious on all on its own, but grilling it brings out a whole new depth of flavor.

Īt some point, the Prophet of Truth also commissioned the creation of Drekar ships to be used by the Jiralhanae against the Sangheili. This put a temporary halt to Truth's plans to replace the Sangheili with the Jiralhanae. In September 2552, this station and the fleet were destroyed by Spartan-II Blue Team who learned of its purpose shortly before the invasion could commence. Truth kept these schemes to himself and waited until the time was right to implement them.Īfter the High Prophet of Truth learned the location of the human homeworld, he secretly amassed a fleet of over five hundred warships, commanded entirely by Jiralhanae, at the Covenant's command-and-control station Unyielding Hierophant. He had appointed Tartarus, a loyal Jiralhanae, to the position of Chieftain of the Jiralhanae who would help him execute his plan. Feeding off of their societal rivalry, Truth knew that the Jiralhanae would be more than happy to replace the Sangheili as the Covenant's military leaders. Competition for dominance in the Covenant military and hatred festered between the two species, though the Sangheili maintained their authority and power as a founding race. In turn, the Sangheili treated the Jiralhanae poorly and oppressed them, to keep them in line. Ever since the Jiralhanae's integration in 2492, their dominating physicality and aggressive behavior was perceived as a threat by the Sangheili to their superior status in the Covenant hierarchy. The High Prophet of Truth plotted to eventually replace the Sangheili with the Jiralhanae, as he saw the latter as more willing and unquestioning pawns. This changing attitude towards mankind who were deemed heretical along with the faliure to safeguard a holy "Sacred Ring", further perpetuated San'Shyuum distrust toward the Sangheili. As the war had waged on, some Sangheili questioned the need to exterminate humanity instead of welcoming them into the Covenant, given humanity's strength as a tenacious species and occasional displays of honor. Intending to prevent the Covenant from falling apart and losing power, the High Prophet of Truth secretly made plans to eject the entire Sangheili species from the hegemony, viewing them as untrustworthy and doubting their reliability and loyalty. With this history of troublesome influential Sangheili well documented among the High Prophets, the threat the Sangheili posed was made even more apparent during the Human-Covenant War in 2552, when Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction spread information about the Great Journey being false. As such, the San'Shyuum High Prophets perceived these influential Sangheili as a threat to their authority, and would send them on suicidal missions decorated under the honorary guise of Arbiters to discretely remove their threatening presence. Discovering such a truth would falsify the Covenant religion and shatter the empire along with its power structure. įor centuries over the course of the history of the Covenant, various high ranking Sangheili with great influence would use their power to ask questions, eventually coming close to discovering the truth about the Forerunners. The Sangheili threatened San'Shyuum power, while the Jiralhanae threatened Sangheili power. The conflict went down in Sangheili history as the Great Betrayal, its deep wounds continuing to stir animosity between their kind and the Jiralhanae for years to come. For the UNSC, it served as a major turning point that led to the end of the war after their disastrous defeat on Reach. The Schism marked both the end of the Covenant and the partition of its client species for a thousand years. The deciding battles were fought between the Sangheili Fleet of Retribution allied with the UNSC against the High Prophet of Truth and his remnants of the Covenant on the Ark. The Flood additionally played a tertiary role, when they took over the holy city in an effort to assimilate the other warring factions. Battles during the Schism took place all throughout Covenant space, most prominently on High Charity, the heart of the alien empire. The High Prophet of Truth ordered the extermination of the entire Sangheili species, forcing them out of the Covenant. The Great Schism, also known as the Covenant Schism, was a major civil war between the forces loyal to the Covenant (led by the San'Shyuum and the Jiralhanae) against the Covenant separatists (the Sangheili and their followers), which split apart on November 3, 2552. and for that, they must die!" - Sangheili on Installation 05 what have these Brutes done?

But Gassner especially recommends having your child’s development evaluated by a specialized pediatrician if you’re seeing signs of certain differences. This information can then be used to decide what, if any, additional supports, accommodations, or treatments your child might benefit from. In addition to providing insights about whether your child is autistic, has ADHD, or is neurodiverse in both ways, these assessments can help doctors unearth details such as whether your child has a learning disability or is “gifted,” she notes. If Gassner were “the queen of everything,” she says she would want to see every child’s development professionally evaluated. And for both conditions, boys are more likely to get a diagnosis, but some experts say this is due to autism and ADHD in girls going underrecognized. Genetics can play a role in both conditions, and some studies even suggest that certain genes overlap between the two. Researchers are still investigating what causes autism and ADHD. For both conditions, pinpointing the underlying reasons why a child is struggling with, say, paying attention or appropriately connecting with their peers is a key part of helping them succeed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as “a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.” On the other hand, the CDC classifies ADHD as a “neurodevelopmental disorder” that can lead to difficulty paying attention, struggles to control impulsive behavior and overactivity. The commonality between him and her? “There’s not significant balance,” she says.īoth autism and ADHD also affect development. Her autistic son, on the other hand, thrives by maintaining extreme organization. Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child likens executive functioning and self-regulation to air traffic control at a busy airport, noting that these are “the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully.”īut, Gassner notes, impacts on executive functioning - which is critical to kids’ (and adults’) ability to cope with the challenging situations life throws their way - can manifest differently depending on whether someone is autistic, has ADHD, or is neurodiverse in both ways.įor instance, Gassner says she prioritizes her day by zeroing in on upcoming deadlines. “In the middle of the Venn diagram, you’re going to find executive function is going to be one feature that presents in both cases,” Gassner says. The two conditions are viewed by some experts as part of a Venn diagram, with ADHD in one circle and autism in another. What’s more, one out of every four kids with ADHD has “low-level signs” of being on the autism spectrum. More than half of autistic people with an official diagnosis also show signs of ADHD, the most common childhood condition to co-occur with autism, according to Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD). But the more we know (experts and parents), the better able we are to help kids be their best selves. There’s still so much that experts don’t understand about neurodiversity, and the relationship between ADHD and autism is a prime example. “There hasn’t really been enough systematic research.” “Are we looking at one condition that’s on a continuum, or two distinct conditions? I think we don’t know the answer to that question,” Geraldine Dawson, director of the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development, told Spectrum. Given that both conditions often share symptoms or co-occur, some researchers think autism and ADHD could belong on the same spectrum. She agrees with that official distinction, but other experts question aren’t so sure. candidate at Adelphi University, and co-chair of the autistic researchers committee for the International Society for Autism Research. “Currently, they are separate conditions with intersecting features,” says Dena Gassner, a professor at Towson University, Ph.D. But how similar are ADHD and autism? Is ADHD on the autism spectrum? Many kids who have one condition have the other. The conditions have many overlapping symptoms, which can make it challenging to determine whether a kid has autism or ADHD - or both. But despite their differences, ADHD and autism are actually two sides of the same coin. Autistic kids are more often seen as socially awkward. Kids with ADHD can be distractible and hyperactive. Usually they haven’t been with the band for a long time or haven’t been collecting that long. So, some guys don’t get a whole lot.” Heehee. “You see, in Germany whenever you “connect” with a girl, they give you a pin. The other question we get is “ Why do some people have a lot of pins and others not so many?” I have a lot of fun with this one… keep in mind I have a lot of pins. Why Do Some People Have More Pins Than Others? The Freistadt Alte Kameraden pin was always on my vest too, but I gave them away so often, I don’t even try to keep one anymore. My Prinzenpaar pin usually stays on the vest. (See the Trachtenvereine in Bayern -the dance group in Heimenkirch pin between the “real men” pin and the feather).Īnd sometimes when you run out of room on your hat, you start putting them on your vest. Typically these groups exchange their pins. These clubs meet, host each other or get together for some reason. The other thing is that most club, bands, dance groups have their own pin. It might be just for fun (Real Men Wear Lederhosen). It might be from events played at or gone to. It might be a favorite vehicle pin (BMW). They might give it to them because it has a special meaning to the wearer (like an anvil pin that I don’t wear on my hat because I’m afraid I would lose it) or special meaning to the person giving it to them (like the King Ludwig pin from a German friend’s Verein or the PBR Ribbon pin from a guy who worked there). (You’d be surprised at how often that happens). It might be an alumni pin to the school he went to (like the MSOE, Milwaukee School of Engineering pin on the back of my hat) or where a child went to school (ex. The pins can also have other meaning or value to the wearer of the hat. This is the answer I got… (gosh I love it when someone else does my work for me…thanks Dale!) German Alpine Hat PinsĪccording to Dale- For years it’s been a custom to add pewter and enamel pins to the side of your Alpine or Miesbacher hat based on what cities you have visited and interests (hobbies) you have. Just to show you HOW far back it goes.īut why do men (and women) wear pins on their hats? Are they different from the German Pins on lapels? And what does it mean when someone has a larger collection? I asked my friend Dale (of the Freistadt Alte Kameraden) since, well, he’s my go-to guy for all of these sorts of questions. In a Pearson’s Magazine (Vol.4 Issue 2) dating to 1900, I found a chapter referring to the “new”fad of Pin Collecting…. There are also Volksmarsch (Folk March) Pins that are handed out by clubs for membership… or completing certain Marches or Trails. Most references for German Pin Collecting talk about Military Insignia Pins… Pins that were given to members of various military organizations or groups within the military to show achievement. My degree in history means I can’t just leave things alone. Every time I go to a German Fest or Oktoberfest, I see large collections of German Alpine Hat Pins.

Gwilym Mumford 30 Songs, 30 Daysįranz Ferdinand and pals unite for a musical maulingĭi Domenico first started impersonating Trump 12 years ago, locking himself in his house with an Apprentice DVD and breaking the Donald’s “unusual” voice down into its constituent elements. IT’S THE FIRE’S TURN NOW!” All of which sounds only marginally more ridiculous than real-world events. One storyline saw a Trump acolyte obtain a warhead, while Trump himself has taken to shouting, “THE AGE OF MAN IS OVER. Another of Ellickson’s hashtags – #GiveMoreThanTrump, created in response to Trump’s alleged stinginess in donating to worthy causes – raised more than $80,000 for the American Refugee Committee.Įllickson plans to keep the saga going until election day, and if recent tweets are any guide, things could get dark. And at the centre of it all there’s Trump, the perfect sitcom antihero: amoral, cruel and buffoonish, like Archie Bunker but with access to the nuclear codes.Įllickson’s tweets have proved popular: one recent effort, in which two Republican higher-ups debated Trump’s aquatic abilities, got the absurd hashtag #TrumpCantSwim trending. Responding to real news stories such as Trump’s flagging poll numbers and that tape, Ellickson’s tweets resemble a sitcom script being delivered on the fly, complete with in-jokes and bizarre subplots involving wrestlers, killer clowns, and the revelation that former Fox News chief Roger Ailes is in fact a shapeshifting vampire squid. Trump Leaks sees the Donald and operatives such as lapdog governor Chris Christie and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway scramble to revive their flagging presidential run, usually managing to make things worse in the process. Since June, former American Office producer Owen Ellickson has been taking to the platform to pen Trump Leaks, an epic satirical imagining of leaked transcripts from the orange meanie’s inner circle, delivered 140 characters at a time.

He projects this image of himself as a tough guy. People seem to like Cockney Trump but if I do him with a tough guy voice, he might love it. The vanity thing, that’s why I keep doing these Sassy Trump videos. “I think Trump is a mix of being incredibly clever, incredibly stupid and incredibly vain. “I may say them in a different accent but I say exactly what he said.” His most frequent dub is Sassy Trump, which sees the nominee revoiced as a camp thrower of shade. His one rule? “They are all Trump’s words,” says Serafinowicz. Knocking up YouTube-ready redubs of Trump speeches on his MacBook at home, Serafinowicz has clocked up millions of views since the start of 2016, as well as finding a way to skewer a man who often seems to exist beyond parody. |
