I would practice and practice to no avail. My dad was left-handed and was an amazing artist. They say you are more creative if you are left-handed. ![]() One thing my dad always let me know was when he was proud of me. I know my dad was incredibly proud of me when he would see my house decorated. In fact, we would butt heads a lot because we would ALWAYS have an opinion about SOMETHING in each other’s house. One thing I absolutely love doing is interior decorating. While my career now doesn’t require my creativity, I find myself itching to do something to get my creative juices flowing. Growing up, I loved to draw, color, sculpt, paint, you name it, I enjoyed it. Plus, one day, I know I will need to call him and hear his voice, even if it is just his voicemail recording.Īs I stated before, I inherited my creative nature from my father. To me, it seems like the last thing we have. There was talk in my family about disconnecting his phone, but I am having a lot of trouble agreeing to that. I want to so badly read our texts back and forth, but I cannot bring myself to do that. He loved the coloring games on his phone. Most of the time his response was, “Yes, what’s up baby?” to which I would respond, “Whatcha doing?” Without hesitation, his response would always be that he was coloring. I would always text him around 11pm and ask if he was up. The hardest time of my day for me is at night. My Dad and I in my room in our house and Georgia Maybe writing a few blogs will help be through the grieving process, who knows, but it is worth a shot. I have always shared the same creative side my father had, from drawing, to writing, to decorating. All jokes aside, my dad and I shared a special bond and so many things in common. You can just say my parents stopped having children when they had the perfect child □. My name is Abby, and I am Jim’s youngest daughter of two girls. While I won’t be focusing on Duquesne and the surrounding area in this particular post, I will be focusing on the creator of this blog, the incredible Jim Volk, my father. He put so much time and research into each post. I can tell you right now, I won’t be able to come close to my father’s writing, but I want to keep his legacy alive with each and every one of you wonderful people. I first wanted to introduce you to who he was as a father, the most important job he ever had. This post may ramble because I get my talkative nature from my daddy. These are my memories, my stories, my amazing life with The Duquesne Hunky. Unfortunately, as most of you know, my father, the Duquesne Hunky, passed away Monday, November 9 th around 8:10 pm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

9/20/2023 0 Comments Paranormal hk publishers![]() Yet, as just about every old creaky home or atmospheric graveyard has its tales of returning souls, it’s fair to say that Protestantism in England did not eliminate ghosts. Still English ghosts could not, under the new doctrine, be the purgatorial dead. Clergyman Robert Wisdom in 1543 affirmed the new stance by stating: “sowles departed do not come again and play boo peape with us.” Susanna Duncombe (née Highmore), “The Ghost Scene” from The Castle of Otranto (1764–83), graphite, ink and watercolor (courtesy Tate) The English Reformation had a radical influence on ghosts, as it eliminated the concept of purgatory, and instated an idea of souls immediately going to heaven or hell. Before this decision, ghosts were often believed to be wandering souls from purgatory. While a modern ghost might materialise, drift gently towards a door and disperse, in the medieval period it was more likely to break the door down and beat you to death with the broken planks. They were, most definitely, not always the insubstantial presences we tend to think of today. They reflect our preoccupations, moving with the tide of cultural trends and matching the mood of each age. As Owens found, “ghosts are mirrors of the time.” She writes: For instance, a 1310 psalter she discovered in the British Library illustrated a fable where a party of three kings encounter three decomposing corpses the dead warn that their grotesque state will be the future of the kings, no matter their royal state. Although these memento mori figures are not ghosts in the way we now imagine them, they’re examples of the departed manifesting to convey a message to the living. ![]() Owens is formerly a curator of paintings at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and she explains that as she began to research ghosts in art and literature, she found written records dating back to the eighth century. 1 comes as a softback (see other options).The Ghost is a chronological exploration of such developments in phantoms, centered on British culture. 1 are the Hotel del Coronado, the Victorian Rose Bed & Breakfast, the Julian Gold Rush Hotel, the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, the Alexandria Hotel, the Pierpont Inn, the Banning House Lodge, and the Glen Tavern Inn.

These devices are commonly referred to as 'modem-gateway combos. Besides, routers and gateways are very different in their working principle. Some internet service providers offer devices that combine the functionality of a modem and a gateway. Gateway vs router: what is the difference A router is a networking layer system used to manage and forward data packets to devices network while a gateway is simply a hardware that acts as a gate between the networks. Internet Service Providers (Isps) With Integrated Devices. If you have the need for more connections, an Ethernet switch may be a better option over a hub. In certain cases, the rules for using a gateway and modem may not apply. A combination modem router or cable modem router combines the function of both a modem and a router into one piece of hardware (sometimes called a gateway). If you have only a few devices on your LAN, a hub may be a good choice for a central connection for your devices. /rebates/2finternet2fmodem-vs-router2f&. An Ethernet switch is limited to the devices that may be wired into it via an Ethernet cable plugged into the device's Ethernet port.Īs you can see, you can integrate different combinations of hubs, routers and switches on your wired or wireless network. This is especially convenient for allowing laptops and mobile devices onto to the Wi-Fi network for internet access or giving accessibility to a printer with Wi-Fi capabilities that anyone logged into the network may utilize. The router will allow PCs and other connected devices to access the internet and other networks.Ī wireless router can also transmit a Wi-Fi signal that wireless devices may connect to. The majority of routers have a single LAN port and single WAN port, while a switch will have multiple ports for different devices to communicate within the LAN such as PCs and printers. In simpler terms, the Ethernet switch creates networks and the router allows for connections between networks. With the low cost of a dedicated router, it's usually advisable to sell your gateway device to another potential customer and purchase a dedicated router.While a network switch can connect multiple devices and networks to expand the LAN, a router will allow you to share a single IP address among multiple network devices. They usually lack a WAN port altogether and are usually a few generations behind in terms of WiFi speeds and chips. In fact, their interest is to keep the router and wifi portions of the gateway as basic as possible to avoid complicated technical support scenarios. ISPs choose devices for cost and compatibility with their own network - they do not have an interest in maximizing the value in terms of features or support for nonstandard setups. While possible, all of those options are usually a bad idea. Gateway: Your device also behaves as router. If your device doesn't have a wan port, in some cases, modified,unofficial firmware can sometimes convert one of the ports to a WAN port (this was the case for many speedtouch DSL gateways). Router: If you want to run OpenWrt in its default router configuration, where the device routes traffic between several LANdevices connected to the LANports and another network on the WANport (commonly to an ethernet modem that is in fact acting as a gateway). ![]() However, if your device has a WAN port, it's possible you can use it without engaging its internal modem component. In general, ISP Gateway devices (modem+router all in ones) are not configured to allow the use of an external internet connection. ![]() 9/19/2023 0 Comments Portrait painter 18th century![]() Through her portraits and history paintings, she became one of the most successful artists of 18th century Europe. lisabeth Vige Le Brun (1755-1842) Marie Antoinette and her Children, by lisabeth Vige-Lebrun, 1787. ![]() She was a prominent figure among her contemporary Neoclassical painters in the late 18th century. Swiss painter Angelica Kauffman (1741-1807) was one of the greats amongst the Neoclassical artists. Aside from her popular portraits of aristocratic sitters, the artist depicted many classical and allegorical scenes. The attribution to eighteenth century French artist, Louis Tocque (Paris 1696-1772) was established with the cleaning and restoration of the painting in 2004. Angelica Kauffman, Self-Portrait, 17701775, National Portrait Gallery, London, UK. ![]() The frame was received in June 2007 and fitted to the painting. The frame was reduced slightly in format to fit the Tocque. Rather than build a reproduction frame for this work, an original frame was sought, in part because period frames in this small scale are more readily available.Ī Louis XV classical style, straight sided frame from the 2nd or 3rd quarter of the eighteenth century was available in London. The following 4 files are in this category, out of 4 total. However the framing of the time included more restrained, classical forms and this less ornate frame type was considered for the portrait. Media in category '17th-century portrait painters'. Having studied under the pastelist Francis Cotes (17261770), Russell produced a treatise, Elements of Painting with Crayons, in 1772 and was appointed Crayon Painter to the Prince of Wales in 1785. The default French frame from this period would be an ornate Louis XV style. John Russell (17451806) was the most prolific pastelist in eighteenth-century Britain. The painting appears in a photograph from 1866, in a simple, undecorated profile frame. ![]() The painting was acquired on the advice of Eugene von Guerard in 1876 and the frame possibly dates from that time. What we today call miniature painting developed from the older medieval art of illuminating hand-written books with colourful illustrations and decorative borders. A Boy with a Flying Squirrel (10.7) propelled Copley to fame from his use of the Titian-like delicate painting and colors. It took the form of a Neoclassical frame, with a low relief pattern of swirling stems, leaves and flowers in the scotia, and a laurel and berry torus at the top edge. Portrait miniatures were first painted in the 1520s at the courts of Henry VIII, in England, and Francis I, in France. One of the greatest 18th century American born painters, was John Singleton Copley (1738-1815), painter of portraits and historical themes.

FCCs – ~60% of the cumulative booked position for full year 2022 are loyal repeat cruisers to our brandsĪll of this serves to point out the fact that the company is in dire need of having its cruise fleet out and sailing again, and would otherwise be faced with severe risks in terms of servicing its debts and staying afloat. – ~70% of the cumulative booked position for full year 2022 is cash bookings vs. The overall cumulative booked position for the first half of 2022 is below the extraordinarily strong levels of 2019 while the second half is in line with the comparable 2019 period and with all periods at higher prices. We would arrive at an EBITDA/Interest Expense ratio of 2.08x.įleet Sail Schedule (NCLH 2021 Annual Report) If the cruise entertainment industry would go back to normal in late 20, it is not unreasonable to expect similar numbers to reappear, so we could compare the last positive EBITDA quarter to today's quarterly interest expense. This might not be as fair considering the company has not been doing business. The same ratio today stands at a negative 2.72x, as the company has to pay an expensive $178 million in interest payments. These days are long gone, since Norwegian Cruise Lines generated a negative EBITDA of $489 million last quarter. The company's EBITDA/Interest Expense ratio before the pandemic outbreak was 7.40x, meaning generated EBITDA could cover the interest payment by more than seven times. They went from having a manageable pre-pandemic Total Debt/EBITDA ratio of 3.72x and a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 3.59x to today's negative 7.41x Total Debt/EBITDA ratio and negative 6.42 Net Debt/EBITDA ratio. To place matters into perspective, the company went from a current ratio of 0.20x and a quick ratio of 0.09x at the end of 2019 to a current ratio of 0.89x and a quick ratio of 0.78x at the end of 2021. This means that Norwegian was forced to double its debt as a result of the closed-down operations during the pandemic. In other words, the company had to raise $6.6 billion of debt in order to stay afloat. That is a significant increase from its pre-pandemic debt levels back in early 2019, when the company had little more than $6 billion in debt. Furthermore, management was able to build up a relatively strong cash position of $2.70 billion, given the circumstances.Īs per the latest quarterly filing, the company had $13.10 billion in debt and $11.17 billion in net debt. With a part of the cruise fleet finally sailing, the company has started generating some much-needed cash flow, which has brought some further relief to the finances. On the brighter side, management was successful in stabilizing its finances by bringing the expenditures somewhat under control while putting an end to the rise of debt. In the last year alone, the company burned through $2.6 billion of cash. During this time, with no cash-generating ability, the company had no meaningful way to fund expenditures other than to resort to debt and equity financing. ![]() Norwegian Cruise Line's entire cruise fleet consisting of 28 ships has been docked for the better part of the last two years.

With this, many are expecting the long-awaited recovery of cruise stocks and a brighter future for the entertainment giants.
