![]() On that day, upon returning to the hotel room, the TV went on just like it would in your family. Then, throughout their life, modeling a life that read.īut then another thought entered my mind: What led us to read that day? The same thing that had led us to read a thousand days before. It started by doing what my mother did-talking about books like they were truly a pleasure. But there was something that caused my children to love a book. I remember thinking that we didn’t do anything-we genuinely enjoyed reading. She said it was a wonderful sight, and wondered how we did it. My wife, bless her soul, was actually reading one of her husband’s books.Ī woman walked over to our table, openly marveling at seeing six people – and particularly four children – reading. A history by David McCullough, I believe, finally won. I had my own stack of books beside me, as if they were a mound of pastries that I couldn’t yet decide which to eat first. My oldest daughter was tearing through the latest installment of Harry Potter in order to pass it on to her siblings my other daughter was soldiering her way through Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov my oldest son was reading – again – Tolkien’s trilogy The Lord of the Rings and my youngest son was laughing uproariously over some unfortunate event conceived by Lemony Snicket. One day, during one of the afternoons back at the hotel, we were sitting in the atrium around a table doing what came naturally to us as a family. There for a week, our pattern was to go to the parks early in the morning, come back to the hotel for a mid-afternoon break, and then go back out for the evening. ![]() In my book A Mind for God I wrote of a time my family and I traveled to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. And, like with any magician’s trick, picking a story apart and learning how it’s done before you have experienced its wonder risks destroying the magic. Young people should experience the intrinsic pleasure of taking a narrative journey, making an emotional connection with a character (including ones different from themselves), and wondering what will happen next-then finding out. Particularly when the only goal is to analyze. “Jumping into a paragraph in the middle of a book,” she writes, “is about as appealing for most kids as cleaning their room.” No wonder the love of reading is extinguished.įor goodness’ sake, let them read the book! As Marsh notes, let them laugh at Amelia’s antics first. Imagine being in the third grade and given the following assignment regarding assigned reading: “Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, distinguishing literal from nonliteral language.”Īnd imagine doing this from the reading of a single paragraph from Peggy Parish’s Amelia Bedelia. “Now the focus on reading analytically seems to be squashing the organic enjoyment.” Through a focus on critical reading and analysis, the “love of books and storytelling is being lost.” No longer is the goal to read as many books as possible, much less to engage emotionally with them. Largely because of the way our educational system teaches kids to relate to books. To this moment, the perfect day is one with a sky full of dark and heavy clouds promising a furious storm, or inches of snow with a fire in the fireplace and a book waiting by my side. I still have the copy of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, worn from countless readings, given to me on my 12th birthday by my grandmother. Reading was presented as such a ravenous delight that I could be punished by not being allowed to go to the library.Īs a young boy, I can remember devouring Ellery Queen mysteries on long vacation drives taking a hot bath and reading The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder curling up in the bay window of a local library, as cascades of rain dripped down the glass, with a harrowing tale of Blackbeard the Pirate. When she finished describing it, I had to read it. My mother could talk about a book like it was something good to eat. But according to the article itself, published in The Atlantic and written by Katherine Marsh, it’s something else. The immediate, intuitive, answer would somehow trace back to screens.

![]() Both apps should allow for easy shrugging. And the best app like this for Android seems to be Textspansion. On Twitter, Justin Jacoby Smith recommends Auspex, a free utility for Windows that mimics the Mac and iPhone’s system-wide text-replacement function. ( I’m sure there is a Windows fix, but I don’t know what it is. My solution is also only possible on a Mac and/or iPhone. But then I found a solution, and it saves me having to google “smiley sideways shrug” every time I want to quickly rail at the world’s inherent lack of meaning. That makes it a kaomoji, a Japanese emoticon it also makes it, on Western alphabetical keyboards at least, very hard to type. Unlike better-known emoticons like :) or ), ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ borrows characters from the Japanese syllabary called katakana. I use it at least 10 times a day.įor a long time, however, I used it with some difficulty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ represents nihilism, “bemused resignation,” and “a Zen-like tool to accept the chaos of universe.” It is Sisyphus in unicode. With raised arms and a half-turned smile, it exudes the melancholia, the malaise, the acceptance, and (finally) the embrace of knowing that something’s wrong on the Internet and you can’t do anything about it.Īs Kyle Chayka writes in a new history of the symbol at The Awl, the meaning of the “the shruggie” is always two-, if not three- or four-, fold. ![]() Today, there are countless variations of the "How do I shot web?" phrase, using a past tense verb + noun combination in replacement of "shot web?" In addition, one may respond to any of these "How Do I" queries with an ASCII-based catchphrase, I Dunno LOL ¯\(°_o)/¯.In its 11 strokes, the symbol encapsulates what it’s like to be an individual on the Internet. The phrase has been also altered to reference other memes, such as "how do i shoop da woop" and "bitches don't know how to shot web". This grammatically strange phrase initially spread as an in-joke among SomethingAwful users who frequented the FYAD ("Fuck You and Die") section, but reached across the boards on Something Awful, eventually reaching 4chan's /b/ (random) board, where an image macro of Spider-Man saying the phrase spawned hundreds of other pictures containing the phrase. Example: ASCII Values (Format) Texte clair. Its representation can be formatted into binary (0-1), octal (0-7), decimal (0-9) or hexadecimal (0-9a-f). The earliest Google sighting of the phrase was reported as early as in February 2003. ASCII decoding/conversion consists of replacing/translating each value (binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal) with the corresponding character in the ASCII table. ![]() The Unicode character Shrug (Person Shrugging) does. Out of sheer frustration, a newbie player repeatedly asked "how do i shot web?" in imperfect English, which presumably meant "How Do I Shoot Web." The shrug gesture in text (emoticon / kaomoji) form is known as a shruggie and typed as: ()/. According to firsthand accounts, it was originally quoted during a round of Natural Selection (2002), wherein the alien enemies' primary choice of weapon was shooting spider webs. There are conflicting reports regarding the birth of "how do I shot web?", but numerous reference materials point to Something Awful (SA) forums's "goons-only" gaming server as the earliest known site of origin.

![]() The scariest element is that there are hints of truth in the plot of the film: as Hitler and his Nazis were always trying to find a way to beat their enemies, and it is common knowledge that there were horrific scientific experimentation performed on prisoners. Having any type of Science Fiction element to a film with a war setting can be so far-fetched that it just will not work. Can any of them survive the horrors found in a Nazi laboratory and secure another win for the right side? These men have fought and survived though battles with bullets whizzing by their bodies. Their only objective is to get her out alive and bring her back to the Allies. Eris is a scientist, they have no idea what kind of insane experiments the Nazis may have forced her to create. Almost immediately, the squad are faced with many dangerous obstacles just to attempt to find information about the captive doctor the Nazis only being one of the dangers.

But “Inventing Anna,” while stopping short of co-signing Delvey’s crimes, does little to help us understand who Anna Sorokin really is or why her story is so worth dedicating prolonged attention to. (After all, while many of Anna’s cons did indeed come at the expense of the rich, she certainly was not practicing any form of wealth redistribution.) But “Inventing Anna” fails to add anything particularly useful or interesting to the story that Pressler already told.Īrt based on real life is best when it illuminates new truths. The New York magazine source material threaded this needle more carefully, positioning Delvey within the context that bred, encouraged and allowed her cons to thrive, without propping her up as some sort of feminist Robin Hood. This shift in public discourse between Pressler’s 2018 New York magazine feature on Delvey and the “Inventing Anna” premiere makes the latter’s Anna-is-all-of-us thesis feel even murkier and more out of touch. Women have, perhaps, fewer opportunities to exploit, but once given them, market conditions will incentivize them to do just that. ![]() ![]() The lesson was clear: Just because a woman is out here, getting hers, doesn’t mean her leadership or choices will be inherently better for those around her or the world at large. Prominent female founders like Steph Korey (Away), Audrey Gelman (The Wing), Yael Aflalo (Reformation), Jen Gotch (Ban.do), Christene Barberich (Refinery29) and Leandra Medine Cohen (Man Repeller) stepped down after criticism that ranged from allegations of general mistreatment of employees to outright racism.

It’s the reason that podcasts like Scam Goddess and Fraud Talk and ScamWow exist, delivering a weekly dose of the stories so many of us - myself included - crave. (Holmes’ fictionalized limited series is set to drop in March on Hulu). It’s the reason we devoured journalist Jessica Pressler’s original New York magazine feature about Delvey - one of the most-read stories worldwide in 2018 - as well as content about Billy McFarland and Martin Shkreli and Elizabeth Holmes. We are a people raised on scams spun as patriotism - the pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps ethos of the American dream being the biggest scam of all. We are a culture obsessed with the promise of individualist reinvention. And wouldn’t it be delicious to see a young woman get what she wants? Or at least metaphorically die trying?Īmericans love Delvey because we love a scam story. “I’m trying to build a business.”ĭelvey is all of us, the Netflix series coos as we binge nine long (too long!

Read our full pdfFiller review The best free PDF readers: FAQs How to choose the best free PDF reader for you Enterprise licensing is available, too, for teams of ten or more. To really get the most from the service - and, to be fair, it offers a fair amount - you’ll need to subscribe to one of three monthly/annual subscription plans. You can tweak documents, but they’ll remain locked on your dashboard and unavailable as a PDF file. When it comes to a straight PDF viewer, pdfFiller’s free service feels hobbled by the inability to do anything beyond reading files. After a thorough review process, we ultimately felt that the platform is “a very versatile PDF document management system.” However, the platform is actually a full PDF editor, with plenty of additional features for document creation and editing like fillable forms, data redaction tools, online collaboration, digital signatures, and PDF converters. Not only is the PDF viewing process free, you won’t even need to sign up to read files. If your needs are basic, it’s quick and easy to upload your document and read it via your browser, or through the Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS apps. PdfFiller serves up a very simple free PDF reader experience. ![]() The menu is pretty easy to navigate since there aren’t all that many options available in Nitro Reader.Īdvanced tools may prove steeper learning curve than most The software has a ribbon-style menu that will be familiar to Microsoft Office users. Helpfully, the software also allows you to convert between PDF and other document formats. Comments are also supported, and they appear like sticky notes that are easy to spot as you read through a document. You can annotate documents with underlining and strikethroughs in addition to highlighting. While you can’t fill and sign PDFs with Nitro Reader, the software does a nice job of enabling collaboration. Touchscreen mode is especially nice for reading e-books, since you can flick the pages rather than scroll or click on a button. What makes this tool different is that it has a touchscreen mode that’s perfect if you’re working on a tablet. The Nitro PDF Reader is another powerful free PDF reader in the vein of Foxit Reader and Adobe Acrobat DC. Note that with the software's latest update, Foxit seems to have removed its PDF virtual printer driver, meaning you can no longer use the software to create PDFs. There’s a Safe Reading mode that allows you to automatically disable Javascript embedded in downloaded PDFs. You can also merge or split PDFs by downloading free add-ons for the software.Īnother advantage to Foxit PDF Reader is that it offers security. Tools for editing, signing, highlighting, and commenting are fairly easy to access. That’s thanks to the fact that it uses the same ribbon-style menu as Microsoft Office. The software can be a little intimidating at first, but it’s relatively straightforward to navigate. ![]() The only thing that’s lacking in the free version is support for optical character recognition in scanned documents. Or, you can scan a document or image and turn it into a PDF using Foxit Reader. Integration with Microsoft Office allows you to easily turn documents you’re working on into PDFs. Read our full Adobe Acrobat Reader DC reviewįoxit PDF Reader is more than just a free PDF reader – you can also create PDFs from scratch using this software. If you can overlook this, it’s a great tool, but there are less obtrusive ones out there. Sadly, the adware side of things is pretty much everywhere: you get ‘try now’ buttons, you’re offered to use powerful tools but later are asked to pony up some cash in order to actually use them, there’s even a ‘7-day trial’ button. In our review, we reckoned that “Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is one of the best free PDF readers for anyone looking to view documents and manipulate them in some way.” It’s simple, easy to use, and comes with all the basic features you need to interact with PDF files. If it wasn’t for the latter, Acrobat Reader would be a decent addition to your software library. The second is to convince you to upgrade to the paid version of the software (which, you’ve guessed it, has many more features, including the ability to create and edit PDF files). The top PDF viewer is designed with two purposes in mind: the first is to enable you to read and interact with PDF files (including adding annotations and even signing a document). ![]() DMZ is a PvP/PvE game mode where players infiltrate Al Mazrah to complete their missions, and exfil successfully to complete the challenges.
