Happiness (Bryan Terrell Clark) is a well-heeled gay buppie who uses gender-neutral pronouns for his lap dog. Anger (Tristan Mack Wilds) is a once-promising athlete sidelined by an injury, and Depression (a distinctive, snappish Forrest McClendon) is a genius who has given up his studies to support his family by working at Whole Foods.

In some ways, the play suggests a companion piece to Ntozake Shange’s 1976 choreopoem For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf, but its characters are identified by personality traits instead of colors, and it incorporates far less music and movement (though the schoolteacher called Passion, played by Luke James, sings briefly and beautifully). In language that moves between dialogue and slam-poetry style jazz verse, Scott gives each of them a hearing. It’s a direct challenge to the world at large, but also specifically to the Broadway audience-mostly white, unlike the actors onstage-that has come to see this full-hearted survey of seven Black men in modern Brooklyn.

People congregated on alternative sites because being a college student in a fraternity or sorority was a central part of TFM, and visitors who weren’t affiliated felt alienated. However, these sites diversified faster, hired better, and produced superior content. TFM was originally much more popular than Barstool Sports, The Chive, and other sites appealing to the “twenty-something male” demographic. In most cases, there weren’t pending criminal charges but schools were quick to side against fraternities and sororities, as there is really no upside to protecting them aside from appeasing affiliated donors and upholding certain constitutional protections which are only afforded to those at public schools. Greek Life would go on to be ripped to shreds on campuses across the US while the website that many considered the embodiment of the subculture ironically became the central repository of material that was drastically turning public opinion against its constituents.įlaws in the business model became exposed. With tangible–digital–proof of some of the things that were going on, student groups had the ammunition they needed to fight back. Things often went too far in the name of one-upmanship. Stereotypes were built and enforced by a small, over-enthusiastic group. Sometimes even submitting it to TFM–the content had to come from somewhere. In this case, a legion of students spanning roughly 8 graduation years was under the influence of the site with the cute sailboat logo. The stupidest among them saw nothing wrong with Snapchatting photos and videos of themselves doing dangerous, illegal things in their chapter houses. The relationship between those who were a part of Greek Life, those who weren’t, and school administrations became increasingly strained. While the site reached its pinnacle around 2013, Greek Life across the country was under siege. As freely as risque images and videos may have been shared in the early years (which were tame compared to rival-turned-sellout Southern Fraternity community Old Row), controversy mounted. “Frattiness” became an objective measure of how well one was assimilated into the Greek Life subculture, while “frat” quickly became a pejorative.Īlong with branching out, the site added editorials and other user-generated content streams, such as pictures of attractive college-aged women, a video section, and Fail Friday, which curated the most hilariously-bad fraternity-related fails. TFM played a large part in Greek Life becoming a front-and-center feature of pop culture into the 2010s. If you looked at participation numbers in Greek Life for the period between 2010-2015 versus 2005-2010, you would notice an uptick. Tempted by party scene rankings and video montages like I’m Shmacked, students were entering college with unprecedented knowledge of what it meant to “Go Greek” as well as larger-than-life expectations. High school kids began to get exposed to the “culture” before they made it to college. They even published a book, which was not bad!Ĭollege students involved in Greek Life found the material funny and poignant. Several spinoff websites were created, the Rowdy Gentleman clothing brand was founded, and viewership soared. For the first few years after launch, TFM was a major success. The site was officially pegged as satire but the distinction has always been blurred. We shared them, recited them from memory, and, to some extent, imagined one day embodying them. My high school friends and I found them hilarious despite, well, not being in frats. The main page had a “wall” listing Total Frat Moves that were user-submitted. The concept behind TFM at its 2010 launch was simple. Maybe College Humor could have been considered the leading platform for college-aged humorists, but nobody really saw it that way. College students had no college-centric websites where they could congregate. Greek life (generally speaking–bro culture) was beginning to penetrate the mainstream. Twitter-like (microblogging) websites were gaining in popularity. Total Frat Move couldn’t have arrived at a more perfect time. At least, so says this article from 2014. It turns out that the popularity of these sites is what inspired the first iteration of TFM–Total Frat Move.

RAW MATERIAL Composer Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XLĪnother key component of creating a score is coming up with the the sonic palette. Black Panther composer Ludwig Göransson read issues of the original comic book and spent a month in Africa conducting research on African music and gathering raw material for the soundtrack. Other times, a composer my spend time immersing themselves in a particular genre of music or culture. Hans Zimmer famously studied the Fibonacci sequence in preparation for his work on The Da Vinci Code. A composer may read books or articles on subjects related to the film. RESEARCH ‘Black Panther’ composer Ludwig Göranssonīefore a single note is written, a composer might spend days, weeks or months researching ideas and getting into the mental space of the film. At the end of the session, the composer will leave with a detailed spreadsheet-called “spotting notes”–that the composer and their team will work from while creating the score. Throughout the meeting, the composer, their assistant or music editor will take notes and write down the specific timecode at which cues come in and out. They’ll discuss things like what scenes need music, and talk about the emotional states of the characters and the general mood. During the spotting session, the composer and director will watch the film together and make decisions about the music. The spotting session is technically not part of the composer’s process, but rather a collaborative process between the composer and the director. In this article, I will try to provide a step-by-step overview of how a composer creates a score and describe a bit of the creative process along the way.

In a randomized trial, patients currently treated with GLUCOPHAGE were switched to GLUCOPHAGE XR. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Clinical Studies.) ![]() If higher doses of metformin are required, GLUCOPHAGE should be used at total daily doses up to 2550 mg administered in divided daily doses, as described above. If glycemic control is not achieved on GLUCOPHAGE XR 2000 mg once daily, a trial of GLUCOPHAGE XR 1000 mg twice daily should be considered. Dosage increases should be made in increments of 500 mg weekly, up to a maximum of 2000 mg once daily with the evening meal. The usual starting dose of GLUCOPHAGE XR (metformin hydrochloride) Extended-Release Tablets is 500 mg once daily with the evening meal. Doses above 2000 mg may be better tolerated given 3 times a day with meals. For those patients requiring additional glycemic control, GLUCOPHAGE may be given to a maximum daily dose of 2550 mg per day. Patients can also be titrated from 500 mg twice a day to 850 mg twice a day after 2 weeks. Dosage increases should be made in increments of 500 mg weekly or 850 mg every 2 weeks, up to a total of 2000 mg per day, given in divided doses. The usual starting dose of GLUCOPHAGE (metformin hydrochloride) Tablets is 500 mg twice a day or 850 mg once a day, given with meals. However, a lower recommended starting dose and gradually increased dosage is advised to minimize gastrointestinal symptoms. ![]() In general, clinically significant responses are not seen at doses below 1500 mg per day. Occasionally, the inactive ingredients of GLUCOPHAGE XR will be eliminated in the feces as a soft, hydrated mass. GLUCOPHAGE XR tablets must be swallowed whole and never crushed or chewed. Short-term administration of GLUCOPHAGE or GLUCOPHAGE XR may be sufficient during periods of transient loss of control in patients usually well-controlled on diet alone. Monitoring of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin will also permit detection of primary failure, i.e., inadequate lowering of blood glucose at the maximum recommended dose of medication, and secondary failure, i.e., loss of an adequate blood glucose lowering response after an initial period of effectiveness. The therapeutic goal should be to decrease both fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels to normal or near normal by using the lowest effective dose of GLUCOPHAGE or GLUCOPHAGE XR, either when used as monotherapy or in combination with sulfonylurea or insulin. Thereafter, glycosylated hemoglobin should be measured at intervals of approximately 3 months. GLUCOPHAGE or GLUCOPHAGE XR should be started at a low dose, with gradual dose escalation, both to reduce gastrointestinal side effects and to permit identification of the minimum dose required for adequate glycemic control of the patient.ĭuring treatment initiation and dose titration (see Recommended Dosing Schedule), fasting plasma glucose should be used to determine the therapeutic response to GLUCOPHAGE or GLUCOPHAGE XR and identify the minimum effective dose for the patient. GLUCOPHAGE should be given in divided doses with meals while GLUCOPHAGE XR should generally be given once daily with the evening meal. The maximum recommended daily dose of GLUCOPHAGE is 2550 mg in adults and 2000 mg in pediatric patients (10-16 years of age) the maximum recommended daily dose of GLUCOPHAGE XR in adults is 2000 mg. Dosage of GLUCOPHAGE or GLUCOPHAGE XR must be individualized on the basis of both effectiveness and tolerance, while not exceeding the maximum recommended daily doses.

Mountain gorillas were removed from the list of critically endangered apes and depend on conservation efforts to survive mountain gorillas face a lot of threats from poaching, habitat loss, disease outbreaks war and civil unrest and so much more. In Bwindi impenetrable forest national park, the population indicated an increase of 6% in 2006 compared to 2002, the population is said to have increased by 12% increase from 1997 to 2006 in Bwindi forest national park. The number of mountain gorillas is believed to have increased by 26.3% in the last seven years with an average of 3.7% annually, conservation efforts have greatly improved since 1981 when the census estimated only 254 individuals in the wild. Bwindi impenetrable forest national park has got half the mountain gorilla population. How many Mountain Gorillas are left?Īccording to research in 2018, there are only 1,004 mountain gorillas left in the wilderness compared to 2010 where the population was estimated to be 786 individuals. They entirely feed on vegetation though they sometimes supplement their diet with ants, insects and termites. ![]() Mountain gorillas live in groups of 5-30 members dominated by a silverback gorilla that makes the decisions in the group day to day activities. They live in higher elevations of volcanic mountains with thick and long fur that helps them adapt to the cold temperatures. Mountain gorillas share 98% DNA with humans making them close relatives with chimpanzees they have nose prints unique to each individual just like humans have thumbprints. Mountain gorillas are a subspecies of Eastern gorillas that live in the Virunga range volcanoes straddling across Rwanda, Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo and Bwindi impenetrable forest national park in southwestern Uganda. Mountain gorillas were almost being extinct in the 19 th century but survived due to the conservation of efforts of the great American primatologist Dian Fossey who dedicated her life to the conservation of mountain gorillas that later on led to her death in 1986 from Rwanda. ![]() Once in the application, select "Library," "Games," find and select "Battlestate Games Launcher," "Manage Shortcut," and finally select "Controller Configuration" where you'll be asked to finally connect your either PS or XBOX controller through the connection cable (USB charging wire).

Unlike type 1 narcolepsy, hypocretin levels in people with type 2 tend to be normal. The precise reason why people develop type 2 narcolepsy remains unknown. However, in some cases, people with type 2 develop cataplexy and thus transition to type 1. What sets them apart is the lack of cataplexy. People with type 2 can experience excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks, sleep paralysis, disrupted nighttime sleep, and hallucinations. The symptoms of type 2 narcolepsy are similar to those of type 1. One estimate suggests that type 2 narcolepsy accounts for 36 percent of people with narcolepsy. Type 2 narcolepsy is rare and there is limited information on its prevalence. Type 2 narcolepsy is also referred to as narcolepsy without cataplexy. Learn more about the diagnosis of narcolepsy. Cataplexy and a positive multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) - a sleep study which measures how quickly a person falls asleep and if they enter REM sleep.They must also have one of two additional sets of criteria: To receive an official diagnosis of type 1 narcolepsy, a person must exhibit excessive daytime sleepiness for at least three months that cannot be explained by another health condition or medication/substance use. A provider will also consider the possibility of other health or psychiatric conditions or substance use that could impact sleep patterns. A health care provider may consider the possibility of other sleep disorders like idiopathic hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness), insufficient sleep syndrome (chronic sleep deprivation), or obstructive sleep apnea (disordered breathing during sleep). The diagnostic process involves differential diagnosis - ruling out other health conditions that may cause similar symptoms. Diagnosing Type 1 Narcolepsyĭiagnosing narcolepsy of any type can be challenging, and many people experience several years’ delay between the onset of symptoms and a diagnosis. Learn more about the causes of narcolepsy. Genetic factors are also involved in type 1 narcolepsy. Low levels of hypocretin may be related to an autoimmune process, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the nerve cells in the brain that produce hypocretin. Approximately 90 percent of people with type 1 narcolepsy have low or undetectable hypocretin levels. Hypocretin helps the body regulate sleep. Low levels of a brain chemical called hypocretin (sometimes called orexin) contribute to the development of type 1 narcolepsy. ![]() Learn more about cataplexy in Symptoms of Narcolepsy. People with type 1 narcolepsy may rarely have cataplexy episodes or have multiple episodes each day. A person may experience a momentary drooping of their eyelids or a complete inability to move or speak. Cataplexy, the sudden loss of muscle tone, is usually triggered by strong emotions like anger, stress, or excitement. The presence of cataplexy is the primary differentiator between type 1 and type 2 narcolepsy. Cataplexy - Sudden period of muscle weakness.Hallucinations - Usually occur when waking (hypnopompic hallucinations) but sometimes when falling asleep (hypnagogic hallucinations).Sleep paralysis - Inability to move the limbs or speak, usually upon waking.Symptoms of Type 1 NarcolepsyĬommon symptoms of type 1 narcolepsy include: ![]() Narcolepsy with cataplexy is believed to impact between 25 and 100 of every 100,000 people. Type 1 narcolepsy is also called narcolepsy with cataplexy. Rarely, people can develop secondary narcolepsy as the result of an injury. The terminology used to describe types of narcolepsy changed in 2014 with the publication of the third edition of The International Classification of Sleep Disorders. There are two main types of narcolepsy - type 1, or narcolepsy with cataplexy, and type 2, or narcolepsy without cataplexy. Narcolepsy impacts men and women equally. Some researchers have identified peak times for development of narcolepsy around ages 15 and 36. Symptoms of narcolepsy can appear at any age, but usually manifest before age 50. Narcolepsy is a rare condition - an estimated 135,000 to 200,000 Americans have narcolepsy. For example, the muscle limpness that normally only occurs during REM sleep can occur suddenly when a person is awake. However, in people with narcolepsy the states of being asleep and being awake blur together. For people without narcolepsy, REM sleep, NREM sleep, and wakefulness are separate states. |
