I remember the book that hooked us: we checked out The Professor and the Madman from the library-on compact disc!-and listened while we painted our kitchen blue. Will and I quickly found that listening to a great book made the rehab time pass a little quicker. When I was in my twenties, spending countless hours on the fixer-upper home that Will and I lived in, I discovered audiobooks. ![]() ![]() So where did this thing get created? According to Gustavo Arellano, author of Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America, "the Sonoran hot dog-at least in its American manifestation- from Sonora in the 1950s and 1960s to Tucson in the 1980s to Tijuana in the 1990s to Los Angeles in the early 2000s, and it's been conquering states up I-5 and east on I-10 ever since."īut you don't need to memorize the Sonoran hot dog's biography to appreciate its strange power. If you happen to score the authentic bolillo roll from a Mexican bakery, even better. Go for fancy hot dog rolls from bakeries, which tend to be heftier, or even a torpedo-shaped French roll. These moreish hot dogs wrapped in bacon and served with a range of salsas and condiments are said to have originated in Sonora, Mexico where they were eaten. An ordinary hot dog bun simply wasn't designed to hold this much drama. ![]() Can you think of a reason why there shouldn't be potato chips?Īnd don't forget the bun. Crunchy potato chips go up against the squishiness of the bun. The menus describes it as a 1/4 lb bacon-wrapped weenie on a locally made grinder bun, topped with Chihuahua cheese, refried beans, guacamole, Pico de gallo. These regional dogs are wrapped in bacon, crisped, and covered in beans. Place the dough cylinders on the tray abut a -inch apart and flatten.

These digital networks expose the controls of the Hype Machine to nation-states, businesses, and individuals eager to steer the global conversation toward their ends, to mold public opinion, and ultimately to change what we do. Together they are remaking the evolution of the human social network and the flow of information through it. This interdependence is enabled by digital networks, like Facebook and Twitter, and guided by machine intelligence, like newsfeed and friend-suggestion algorithms. The Hype Machine has created a radical interdependence among us, shaping our thoughts, opinions, and behaviors. By answering them, we can better understand how the Hype Machine impacts our world. presidential election? When joggers in Venice, Italy, post their runs to social media, do joggers in Venice, California, run faster? These questions contemplate the disruptive power of social media. ![]() Why does fake news spread so much faster than the truth online? How did one false tweet wipe out $140 billion in stock market value in minutes? How did Facebook change the 2012 presidential election by tweaking one algorithm? Did Russian social media manipulation flip the 2016 U.S. Today, as more and more new social technologies come online, we know less and less about how they are changing us. Fifteen short years ago, all we had to facilitate our digital connections was the phone, the fax machine, and email. The striking thing about the New Social Age is that fifteen years ago this cacophony of digital social signals didn’t even exist. In 2013, a false tweet briefly wiped out almost $140 billion in U.S. I call this trifecta of hypersocialization, personalized mass persuasion, and the tyranny of trends the New Social Age. They do this by injecting the influence of our peers into our daily decisions, curating population-scale behavior change, and enforcing an attention economy. But at the same time, these signals are much more transformative - they are hypersocializing our society, scaling mass persuasion, and creating a tyranny of trends. These signals are delivered to our always-on mobile devices through platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter, and they are routed through the human social network by algorithms designed to optimize our connections, accelerate our interactions, and maximize our engagement with tailored streams of content. +++Įvery minute of every day, our planet now pulses with trillions of digital social signals, bombarding us with streams of status updates, news stories, tweets, pokes, posts, referrals, advertisements, notifications, shares, check-ins, and ratings from peers in our social networks, news media, advertisers, and the crowd. This includes understanding the forces at play and the science behind the Hype Machine, and what social media companies, policymakers, and users need to do to achieve the promise and avoid the peril of this new social order. In his new book “ The Hype Machine: How Social Media Disrupts Our Elections, Our Economy, and Our Health - And How We Must Adapt ,” excerpted below, Aral, director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, lays out the path to achieve the promise of social media. ![]() ![]() Social media holds potential for both promise and peril and we’re at the crossroads. And with a presidential election approaching, campaigns reached voters through the Hype Machine amid concerns about how foreign actors use the networks to sway election results. Some businesses used social media to connect with customers quarantined at home others joined a boycott of Facebook to protest the way the company handles hate speech. 2020 has brought highs and lows for the communication ecosystem created by social media - what MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral calls the “Hype Machine.” People used digital social networks to stay connected with friends and loved ones during a pandemic, while at the same time misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19 spread through the same websites. ![]() ![]() If there will be a significant delay in shipment of your order, we will contact you via email.

RELATED: Mechanic Labor Rates Per Hour 3. However, this isn’t a job that should be done by anyone without the experience required. Of course, if you can replace your own timing chain, you are going to save a lot of money. Take the labor rate in your area and multiply by about four to eight hours to get an approximate cost. If you live in the country, you might spend far less on labor than if you live in a busy city. It must also align with all of the tensioners, timing gauges, and gears to work correctly.ĭepending on where you live, you could have a hefty labor bill. There are some engines that require removing a lot of parts to get the chain out. While the timing chain is an expensive part to replace, the labor is going to make up a significant chunk of the bill. Just keep in mind that some aftermarket parts are junk, so you want to research the quality before making the switch. A timing chain is something you don’t want to take any risks with, as it could result in total engine failure. However, you normally have the option to purchase an aftermarket chain kit, which could save you a little bit of money. For example, Honda OEM timing chains are often cheaper than other brands in many cases. Some brands have much lower prices for some reason. With this in mind, the type of vehicle you drive is going to have a big effect on how much you spend on the timing chain. While there are some newer models that have a timing chain, the majority of the vehicles are going to be older, mostly because timing chains often hold up quite long. ![]() Factors Affecting Timing Chain Replacement Cost 1. ![]() If you have the skills, equipment, and expertise to replace it yourself, you may only spend $500 to $900 instead, but it’s not normally an easy fix for the average home mechanic. The average timing chain replacement may cost $1,500 to $4,000 if you visit a professional repair shop. Can I Drive with a Bad Timing Chain? How Much Does A Timing Chain Replacement Cost? ![]() John claims he doesn’t like public speaking at the AA meeting and that it makes him very nervous. She takes him to a diner to help him recover.

Now that the characters are established, “Burn Me When I’m Gone” starts this peculiar love and despair story. ![]() The people who complain that Frodo sucks are overlooking the magnitude of his struggle and his sacrifice. Have these Frodo haters stopped to consider that the reason why Frodo’s not jumping onto a horse via somewhat dodgy CGI, or out-quipping Gimli, is because he’s carrying the embodiment of all evil around his neck and is constantly besieged by an increasingly dark and powerful desire to give in to its siren song and in doing so doom all of Middle-earth to darkness? HAVE THEY CONSIDERED THAT? HAVE THEY? (Just look at the sh**-eating grin on his face when he informs Gandalf that the wizard has “officially been declared a disturber of the peace.") He’s not cracking a ton of jokes, either, although the opening moments of fellowship make it clear he’s got a sense of humor. He doesn’t surf down a shield while peppering Uruk-hai with arrows. Frodo Baggins rules, actually.Īdmittedly, Frodo is not the flashiest member of the Fellowship. Far from being a favorite, he’s more often called “annoying” or “lame” or even “a whiny bitch.” ![]() One character who is typically not mentioned as anybody’s favorite is the ringbearer himself, Frodo Baggins ( Elijah Wood). ![]() Do you prefer Aragorn or Legolas’ brand of coolness? Is Gimli’s comic relief your speed? Are you taken in by the tragedy of Boromir or Gandalf’s dutiful aloofness? Perhaps it’s Merry or Pippin’s character growth that speaks to you, or an appreciation of Sam, the clear beating heart of the franchise. Everybody who has seen the movies has a favorite member of the fellowship, those nine souls who banded together to save Middle-earth. The Fellowship of the Ring came together 20 years ago this week when the first installment of Peter Jackson’s legendary Lord of the Rings trilogy opened in theaters. ![]() ![]() The town of Irene was established in 1902 when 337 plots were laid out on the farm Doornkloof. The Irene Camp Cemetery is well preserved and contains 576 of the original slate tombstones that were carved by hand in the camp. Between February 1901 and the end of the war in 1902, 1,249 lost their lives here, about 1,000 of them children. At its peak the camp had 5,500 inhabitants, mostly women and children. Photograph of the Irene concentration campĭuring the Second Boer War the Irene Concentration Camp was established in 1901 on the farm Doornkloof, as part of the British scorched earth policy, where Boer women and children were housed under extremely poor conditions. After the cornered British garrison tried to escape to Natal to join General George Pomeroy Colley, the Boers entrenched themselves behind a stone wall surrounding the animal stockade, and wounded the colonel in the backside, who was standing upright in his stirrups. Erasmus Jr defeated Colonel Gildea, or "The Blasted Colonel" as they called him, the British Officer Commanding of the Pretoria Garrison. A Boer commando under the leadership of D.J. In 1889 Alois Hugo Nelmapius bought the northern and north-eastern portions of the farm Doornkloof and named it after his daughter Irene (who died in 1961).Īs part of the First Boer War, the battle for Rooihuiskraal (Afrikaans for "Red House Kraal") took place in 1881 here. In 1849 Rev Andrew Murray visited the farm Doornkloof and christened 129 babies, heard the profession of faith of 29 new members of the Reformed Church and the next day, 29 December 1849, celebrated communion. Several of the suburbs like Erasmia, Elardus Park, Zwartkop and Doornkloof were named after these 19th-century owners of the land and their properties. Daniel Jacobus Erasmus settled on the farm Zwartkop, Daniel Elardus Erasmus on the farm Doornkloof and Rasmus Elardus Erasmus developed the farm Brakfontein. In 1841 the Erasmus family arrived and settled in the area. They cultivated lands, grazed their cattle, made earthenware containers and melted iron. It dates back to 1200 AD when black African communities settled in this area. However, the earliest evidence of modern human habitation in the Centurion area does not go this far back. The Sterkfontein Caves, a World Heritage Site, is less than 50 km from Centurion, near Mogale City and Krugersdorp. The Waterkloof Air Force Base, as well as the Swartkop Air Force Base (which includes the South African Air Force Museum), are in Centurion.įossils discovered at the Sterkfontein Caves show that hominids lived in the vicinity of Centurion between 2 and 3 million years ago. The R21 freeway also passes through the eastern part of Centurion. Its heart is at the intersection of the N1 and N14 freeways. Formerly an independent municipality, with its own town council, it has been part of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality since 2000. Centurion (previously known as Verwoerdburg and before that Lyttelton) is an area with 236,580 inhabitants (2011 census) in the Gauteng Province of South Africa, between Pretoria and Midrand. ![]() If you’ve saved a customer’s card details in the system, you can pick that for the payment, or start a recurring payment if charging for a subscription or ongoing service.
