The original 1957 Broadway production, directed and choreographed by Robbins, marked Sondheim's Broadway debut. The dark theme, sophisticated music, extended dance scenes, tragic love story, and focus on social problems marked a turning point in musical theatre. The young protagonist, Tony, a former member of the Jets and best friend of the gang's leader, Riff, falls in love with Maria, the sister of Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks. The Sharks, who are recent migrants from Puerto Rico, and the Jets, who are white, vie for dominance of the neighborhood, and the police try to keep order. The musical explores the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. Inspired by William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, the story is set in the mid-1950s in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, then a multiracial, blue-collar neighborhood. West Side Story is a musical conceived by Jerome Robbins with music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents.

The neighborhood is extremely dense ~ very often only inches separate neighboring structures, and many structures were built for multi-family use.

The One who Kills for ‘Power and Control’ Studies also reveal that most of the female serial killers kill for comfort and material possessions. ![]() Dorothea Puente would be the perfect example for this as she killed approximately 9 people in a span of 6 years for their social security checks. ![]() In order to stay away from the eyes of the law, these killers usually keep a gap between their killings, and then attack the next victim. These serial killers kill only to obtain comfort through material things which can give them a comfortable and a luxurious lifestyle. A classic example of this would be the serial killer known as the Son of Sam, the real name being David Berkowitz who said he was possessed by a demon and that there are many ‘other sons’ out there. You would find them completely insane… in fact they are completely insane because of the simple reason that they blame their killing habits to some voices or visions that they hear! Yes, these serial killers are psychotic in nature and believe that they are compelled to murder by the entities like Demon and God. People took the blame and I’m free… Look over your shoulder. He confessed saying, “ I killed Tanya Bennett… I beat her to death, raped her and loved it. The example of this type of serial killer would be Keith Hunter Jesperson who killed a 23 year old Taunja Bennet. Sex is the primary cause of serial killings, which is why most of the victims of these type of murderers are within a certain age group, and generally have similarity in height, weight, looks and race. The more they torture the person, the more they are sexually aroused. These people kill only to obtain sexual contentment by fulfilling their sexual fantasies. These serial killers get immense sexual pleasure when they torture or kill others. Mentioned below are some of the most well-known categories of serial killers that exist, and why do they kill? The one who Kills for ‘Lust’ On the other hand, some are highly disorganized, like Eddie Gein, who told a sawmill owner that a missing woman named Mary Hogan was at his farm. ![]() While some are extremely organized, like the Zodiac killer who was never captured by the police officials and still remains a mystery. For instance, while Jeffrey Dahmer had a difficult childhood, was separated from his mother and brother, and no interest in studies, Eddie Gein was too attached to his mother and was a good academic student.Įach and every one has a different story, each and everyone is a different killer. I was reading about some of the famous serial killers in the United States, Eddie Gein, Jeffery Dahmer, or the Angel of Death! Though they all are known for their absurd ways of killing, they were very different from each other in terms of traits or characteristics. Different Types of Serial Killers: Why do they Kill? They did not just kill anyone randomly, but all their victims had some or the other similarity, but they all in a way, were different types of serial killers with different reasons to kill. If you try to understand the psychology of serial killers and think about some of the most notorious serial killers like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jack the Ripper or Eddie Gein, you would note that there was a similarity in the way these people committed murders. Also they have a specific way of killing their victims. This means that serial killers do not randomly kill anyone who comes in their ways, like mass murderers. ![]() According to the federal law, the term serial killing is defined as “ a series of three or more killings, not less than one of which was committed within the United States, having common characteristics such as to suggest the reasonable possibility that the crimes were committed by the same actor or actors. The term ‘serial killer’ was first used in the 1930s by a German inspector known as Ernst Gennat, however, most people give credit to the former FBI special agent named Robert Ressler for introducing the English term in the 1970s. Nearly extinct, possibly only one surviving specimen in Botswana. ![]() Chobe black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis chobiensis) – A local subspecies restricted to the Chobe Valley in southeastern Angola, Namibia (Caprivi Strip) and northern Botswana.Relict populations in northern Somalia vanished during the early 20th century. Formerly central Sudan, Eritrea, northern and southeastern Ethiopia, Djibouti and northern and southeastern Somalia. North-eastern black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis brucii) – Extinct.It became extinct by excessive hunting and habitat destruction around 1850. Once abundant from the Cape of Good Hope to Transvaal, South Africa and probably into the south of Namibia, this was the largest subspecies. Southern black rhinoceros or Cape rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis bicornis) – Extinct.The most accepted scheme considers seven or eight subspecies, of which three became extinct in historical times and one is on the very brink of extinction: The intraspecific variation in the black rhinoceros was discussed by various authors and is not finally settled. The species overall is classified as critically endangered, and one subspecies, the western black rhinoceros, was declared extinct by the IUCN in 2011. These species are now sometimes referred to as the square-lipped (for white) or hook-lipped (for black) rhinoceros. The word "white" in the name "white rhinoceros" is a misinterpretation of the Afrikaans word wyd, itself derived from the Dutch word wijd for wide, referring to its square upper lip, as opposed to the pointed or hooked lip of the black rhinoceros.

In other words, it is especially important that investigators new to the field understand that the appearance of more autophagosomes does not necessarily equate with more autophagy. In particular, a block in macroautophagy that results in autophagosome accumulation must be differentiated from stimuli that increase autophagic activity, defined as increased autophagy induction coupled with increased delivery to, and degradation within, lysosomes (in most higher eukaryotes and some protists such as Dictyostelium) or the vacuole (in plants and fungi). Nevertheless, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to measure autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes.įor example, a key point that needs to be emphasized is that there is a difference between measurements that monitor the numbers or volume of autophagic elements (e.g., autophagosomes or autolysosomes) at any stage of the autophagic process versus those that measure flux through the autophagy pathway (i.e., the complete process including the amount and rate of cargo sequestered and degraded). Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. ![]() In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. ![]() ![]() Instead Microsoft’s Surface team is now focused on delivering this new “true” foldable design. This new model was supposed to feature narrower and taller edge-to-edge displays, wireless charging, and other improvements.īut that dual-screen design has now been scrapped, Windows Central reported. Microsoft had reportedly already finalised a dual-screen design for Surface Duo 3 that was slated to ship at the end of 2023. Windows Central reported that instead Microsoft has decided to pivot over to a more traditional foldable design, with a 180-degree hinge, internal foldable screen and external cover display, similar to devices like the Vivo X Fold and Honor Magic Vs. Now Windows Central has reported (citing unnamed sources) that Microsoft’s next foldable Surface phone won’t be a dual-screen device. Whilst it could make calls and send SMS messages, Microsoft did not describe it as a phone per se. It supported the Surface Pen and the device itself was 4.8mm thin – running Android 10. The Surface Duo was a two-screen folding phone, that featured two 5.6in screens (resolution of 1800×1350 each) joined together with a hinge that folded a full 360 degrees.Įssentially, the phone opened up like a book, but could then fold all the way round. Matters were not helped when the Surface Duo 2 received mixed reviews, as people were underwhelmed by the Duo specs. Surface Neoīoth of those devices featured a hinge in the middle for a mechanical fold, rather than utilising a foldable screen like the Samsung Galaxy Fold. Microsoft in 2020 had also previewed a dual-screen tablet called the Surface Neo, but chose not to bring that tablet device to market. In Germany the device was priced at 1,549 euros.īut less than seven months after it was launched in the US, the writing seemed to be on the wall for the Surface Duo, when it became available online for more than 50 percent off its recommended retail price. The Surface Duo was launched in Europe in February 2021, but was again saddled with a ‘premium’ purchase price in the UK starting at £1,349. When the Microsoft Surface Duo 1 went on sale in the United States in Q3 2020, prices started at an eye-watering $1,399 for the 128GB version, rising to $1,499 for the 256GB version. It comes after Microsoft faced questions as to whether (given its track record with mobiles), it could convince consumers and business users to back the design concept it had introduced with the Surface Duo 1 and 2. Instead, Microsoft’s dual-screen Surface Duo 3 will pivot to new foldable screen design that will boast a 180-degree hinge, it has been reported. Microsoft is once again abandoning a mobile design, after it was reported that its next Surface Duo phone will not be a dual-screen device. Understanding the natural environment of your site will go a long way in making your yard look higher end. Take the time to study plants in your neighborhood to see what’s thriving and what’s not, and pay special attention to healthy plants already growing in your yard, he suggests. He notes that using these elements to guide design decisions will give you the best luck in creating a sustainable and long-lasting front yard. ![]() ![]() “Every yard has microclimates-sun exposure, wind, climate, soil, drainage patterns, existing plants, and habitats-that influence where plants will thrive and where you’ll be comfortable spending time,” Valentino explains. No matter how much or little money you put into your front yard, dying plants, patchy grass, and general disorganization will make the space look cheap. “Then you can begin to layer in site features and planting that relate to the home and become an extension of it.” How can I make my front yard look more expensive? “Start by developing circulation patterns for vehicles, parking areas, and pedestrian walkways in and around the architecture,” Valentino says. Once you understand the design of your home and (hopefully) the style of landscaping that will suit it well, plan your specific project. The scale, form, and materiality of your home’s architecture should all be carried into the landscape design, so it’s always a good first step to learn as much as you can about the style and design of the home itself before embarking on the landscaping. “Having an appropriate response to architecture is paramount to the success of any front yard,” says Geoff Valentino, Chicago studio director of Hollander Design, an architectural landscaping firm. When planning your front yard design, making the space beautiful is naturally going to be top of mind. Instead, Shrader sees front yard landscaping as a chance to set a distinct tone for your property: “Your house doesn’t start at the front door-it starts at the street.” To up your home’s curb appeal, we’ve greenlighted the best front yard landscaping ideas-plus answers to commonly asked questions. “The fertilizer, the water, the mowing-all that energy goes into a green patch that isn’t really doing much aesthetically.” “It’s been out of fashion for 25 years, in my opinion,” he says.
