I tend to stay oblivious to hype, it just puts more undue pressure on the process. There was already a lot of buzz around the film even during the casting phase, as I know a lot of the cast had badgered their agents to get them in for a meeting. I sent in a couple of tapes and then had a Skype call with the casting director Terri Taylor. JL: My casting process was pretty simple. WL: How did you get cast in Crazy Rich Asians? How was the experience filming with a whole Asian casting team? The most memorable moment? I’ve learnt that the only way to tell great stories about how you want to be represented is to write them yourself. It is something that is still in the works and currently with TV producers in Los Angeles. I began writing my own script, with my dream character, in my dream project. I purposely choose roles that will only reflect Asians positively, or in a new light, even if they are smaller parts.Ī couple of years ago, before Crazy Rich Asians, I became very frustrated at the lack of decent roles for Asians. I ended up playing characters that were much more positive depictions of Asians in Western society: doctors, detectives, US agents, art students. Luckily, I never landed any of those roles. My parents came to England via an academic scholarship – where were these types of immigrants portrayed? I hated having to put on a Chinese accent, it felt racist and insulting. When I began my career 10 years ago, the only roles available to me in mainstream TV and film were that of an immigrant, prostitute, or take-away worker. JL: Being an Asian actress in the UK certainly is not easy. WL: Growing up with a mixed background, what do you struggle with the most in your life and acting career? Have you ever thought to do something else in these years? And now they are the most supportive parents in the world. He even offered to pay for a Masters at Harvard if I wanted to go.īut through my determination over the years, they could see that I was pursuing my passion, and when the “real jobs” began to roll in and I began to support myself financially – but most of all was happy – they got it. But it was not for me, and my dad remained in denial for a few years, hoping it was just a phase. They had, of course, hoped I would be a top-class City lawyer. My parents were quite stunned when I graduated from law school and, without any notice, enrolled in acting classes. I knew then that when I grew up, I had to find a way to re-create that sense of joy, liberation, and happiness in my work. I could sense the happiness of the audience. I had no idea what that meant at the time and when we were successful in the auditions, I found myself having the best time during rehearsals, and then the seven-week run. I was part of the children’s ensemble for Joseph and The Technicolor Dreamcoat with Phillip Schofield when it toured and came to Southampton Mayflower. JL: I accidentally fell into performing when I was 10. What reasons made you choose to be an actress? How did your parents cope with it at that time? Do you still feel under pressure sometimes as the only child in your family? WL: In your past interviews, you said you did a Law degree for your parents. For a couple of years, I hosted the Chinese New Year celebrations in Trafalgar Square and that was a pretty spectacular way to mark the occasion too. They will usually have friends over for the most amazing meal ever, or one of their friends will have a dinner party and we go there. I normally go to my parents’ home in Southampton. Do you still celebrate CNY with your family? How? WL: The documentary about Chinese New Year you filmed for BBC a few years ago already reached over one hundred million views in China. It was the tipping point, and over the next year I came off all social media. But that was all I was showing, and I didn’t want to be part of it any longer. I wasn’t always happy, and I do not spend my life in five-star hotels or on business class flights. I realised that my posts had been contributing to that culture. Teenagers suffered from depression when unable to achieve the image of beauty, happiness, and luxurious lifestyles that surrounded them. While the topics were varied, from bullying to racism, there was an overwhelming amount of entries that had the same theme: pressure to conform to an ideal of perfection, as perpetuated by social media. In 2015, I was part of the judging panel for the Anne Frank Trust’s writing competition Generation Diary, where teenagers were invited to write a diary excerpt. I don’t enjoy sharing my private moments with the world. JING LUSI: I once believed that social media was a necessary tool for promotion, but I never enjoyed it. WEI LIU: Can you tell me why you quit social media? You used to have Instagram and Twitter, which is considered a good way to communicate with your fans and promote yourself. We recommend applying BIAB on natural nails as we find it’s great for clients who want to keep their natural length. "BIAB is perfect for clients with weak natural nails who want to grow them out, or clients who want the strength of extensions without the length," explains Nicholl. Luckily BIAB is a fairly adaptable service for almost any nail preference, and as you'll see from my diminutive talons, BIAB on short nails looks just as good as it does on long ones. There are those who prefer a cute squoval nail in a single on-trend color, then there are acrylic addicts who love ultra-long nail shapes and nail-art adorned talons. There are those who like to keep things short, clean, and au naturale. The world can be divided into a few nail personalities. Cuticle oil is then applied, and I was treated to a mini hand massage with cream. You can either choose a clear topcoat, as I did, or have gel color applied for a more vibrant look. Cleaning and top coat: The nail is then cleaned again to remove any oils and a topcoat is applied and cured, much like step 1.Filing: Once each individual BIAB nail has been created, your nail tech will gently file and buff the top of the nails to create a smooth look.Precision is essential at this stage, as your nail tech needs to create a perfect shape and then quickly cure the BIAB in place so it doesn't move or set unevenly. BIAB shaping: Next, a very fine brush is used it to gently shape and push the BIAB gel into a smooth and plump layer, before curing it under the lamp.BIAB application: Now, your nail tech will work on one nail at a time, applying a thicker layer of the BIAB color (I chose a creamy milk nails hue) working it all over the nail by fanning out the brush and 'building' the nail up with the gel.This step is the same as gels and creates an even base for the BIAB to be created on top of. Base: Working one hand at a time, a thin layer of BIAB is painted on all five nails and cured under a lamp.

He was not able to speak English (or pretended not to), and had his child act as a translator. Morning after, we went for a shower, though daylight showed that all face cloth were unmistakably dirty! So we checked out, and told the owner about this all. Given the late hour in the night, we quickly cleaned the bed linen on our own and went to bed. Though, uncovering the bed we found dust. After 10-15 minutes we again went back to the room, had a quick look at the pillow cases which were now clean. We immediately went back to the receptionist who apologised and advised he would have changed the linen. When first entering the room, we noticed that pillow cases had some "strange" brown spots. Bed linen and face cloth were dirty, and covered with strange spot (feces?). We are a couple quite used to travel and to accept different "cleaning" standards across the globe, though Camino Real has its concept of cleaning. I booked Camino Real Motel through given the good score and good location for a road trip with my girlfriend. We stayed here for 2 weeks and will never stay at this motel again. Yet the manager doesn't do anything about it but will try to kick someone out over little things. Fights going on almost every night leading up to the police showing up. Gang members, drug dealers, and prostitutes roam this place. Another thing to mention is the other tenants at this place. Bathroom is dirty as well with stains all over the curtain. When my mom turned on the TV, it was on the porn channel which took her by shock. You could tell that a child was in this room before. Our room had holes in the walls, writing all over the pictures. He has a son who is a bit more understanding considering the fact that his english is better. He yells at the tenants like he is big boss. Next let me say that the manager is completely rude. We only stayed here because we were in a bind. $60/night? There are way more nicer places to stay at for less. Me and my mother had the worst experience at this motel.

The resolution of the stitched PNG is so massive that opening it in any conventional image viewing software (HoneyView, IrfanView, JPEGView, XnViewMP, nomacs, FastStone Image Viewer, Imagine, etc.) is impossible on conventional hardware because all of them try to load the uncompressed image into memory before displaying it and even 16GB isn't sufficient for that. The rest of this comment is unrelated to the bug, but I learned some neat things about the world of ultra-high-resolution images once I finished capturing the map for the first time a few days ago and thought you might be interested in my findings. I'll close this issue since it can't be fixed on the side of the mod, but it might be worthwhile to add a "known issues" section to README.md. Just to clarify: I was able to finish the capture process successfully by clicking "Ignore" on the error message prompts and resuming the process after every crash, so this bug just presents itself as a small annoyance. Thanks for the detailed feedback! It's good to have confirmation that these are known issues which are unrelated to my setup.It's annoying, but prevents save game corruption. Watch the memory usage of Noita, and after the working set goes above 3 GiB just save and restart Noita.Click Ignore always on the message boxes.It crashes more likely after around 4,627/14,400 because up until then there is not much to generate.The flag will not prevent but reduce the crashes, though. I suppose you already did that, but you have to do it again when steam updates Noita, as the executable will be overwritten. Make sure that the Large Address Aware flag is set.All orbs that were picked up in any game before will be replaced with familiar orbs.You would need to save and restore your currently run manually, if you have one.No easy way to turn off the fog of war.Using the normal release version has some other disadvantages though: At least i have never seen them there myself. It would be nice if i knew of a way to disable these (Or always ignore them automatically), i suppose they are disabled in the normal release version. I have no influence on those checks or the circumstances that cause these checks to fail. So this means that something happens that isn't supposed to happen. I don't know what fails exactly, but this is caused by some internal check that the devs placed. I hope that they either publish a 64 bit version or fix this "memory leak" like behaviour. The mod even tries to reduce the amount of chunks that need to be reloaded/generated each jump by using a plane filling Hilbert curve. Anyways, the details don't matter and the result is that Noita needs more and more memory until it runs out of virtual memory and crashes. Also, memory fragmentation may reduce the space efficiency, too). But if the process' working set size (Shown in the TaskManager) goes above 3 GiB the chances of a crash are high (You will hardly see the working set to go near the full 4 GiB, because there may be other stuff mapped to the virtual address space that occupies that space but isn't counted towards the working set. or if Noita just frees that memory too late (Maybe some sort of caching that's time or frame based). I don't know if there is a memory leak with map generation/chunk loading/. This would theoretically be enough if Noita wouldn't need more and more memory over time. Even with the Large Address Aware flag of the executable changed to true the program can only use 4 GiB. Noita is a 32-bit program and can, for legacy reasons on windows, by default only access the lower half of its virtual address space, so 2 GiB. There are basically two problems here: Address space The mod basically lets the viewport jump around and take screenshots of the game. Unfortunately there is not much i can do. But capturing the extended map (3.8 gigapixels) always was a sure way to get like 5 to 10 crashes and some ASSERT FAILED! message boxes. I haven't done a map capture recently, so i don't know if it got worse in the latest versions. There are major benefits to staying at a Cedar Point hotel (Breakers or Breakers Express) - not only do you get to enter the park an hour before it actually opens, you can also purchase discounted park tickets at the check-in desk.Overall, we lucked out on both the weather and the line situations, and had a fantastic day in the park - though I'd expect nothing less from Cedar Point. and were contemplating riding it a third time too, actually! It's a super smooth ride, yet also very thrilling. We were extremely lucky and didn't wait more than fifteen minutes for any ride in the park on Sunday (maybe because it was Mother's day? not sure) and we rode Gatekeeper twice. My favorite rides in the park have changed over the years - in middle school, it was the Raptor in high school, Mean Streak and in the past few years, Millennium Force - but I think my new official current favorite ride is the Gatekeeper. We also got Rougarou First Rider pins from the park for being among the first to ride it, which was unexpected, but very cool! Cedar Point has taken the old Mantis's track and painted it, and completely changed the cars - it's now a "floorless" coaster, similar to Raptor but with the cars on a bottom track rather than a hanging (top) one. so good!)Īs hotel guests, we were allowed into the park an hour earlier than the general public, so of course the first ride we hit up was Rougarou, the newest ride in the park. (I may have grabbed a slice of pie at Perkins later that night as well. The hotel also has a TOMO's (hibachi grill), a Perkins (diner food), and a few quick-serve stands, including a Starbucks. We ate at the TGI Fridays in the hotel for dinner on Saturday, since it was pouring out and we didn't want to have to brave the weather, and the service was very good, as was the food. The hotel lobby itself was also very warm and inviting. Vintage Gemini photo in the hotel lobby, 2nd floor Our room was also right by the 3rd floor elevator, so I was expecting it to be noisy, but it was actually pretty quiet, which was very nice. Our room view - not too shabby! We could also see Magnum on the right. The photo in the bottom right of the collage above was a photo in the bathroom, which made me laugh - the rooms and the hallways in the hotel have tons of vintage photos up, which was great. The bathrooms have wood floors and the beds have very colorful comforters, as you can see, plus the headboards are pictures of rides at the park, which was awesome. The room has a few extra amenities that you might not have thought it would have, like a fridge and microwave (see picture) plus an in-room safe.

No matter what type of gadget you go with, the process is pretty much the same: prep the ingredients, steam, puree or chop, and eat. If you’re not super comfortable in the kitchen, don’t mind sacrificing some counter space and are looking for a foolproof way to dive into making your little one’s food, then a baby food maker is a wise purchase. Your role as head chef puts you in charge of ingredients and quality, and gives you free rein to get creative and experiment with fun food combos as much as you’d like. Skipping the jars and pouches and making your own baby food will definitely save you money and reduce environmental waste. Let’s get cooking!įiguring out whether or not you need a baby food maker is going to depend on your lifestyle, culinary comfort level and what existing kitchen gadgets you already own. Here’s what you’ll want to know when you’re considering which baby food maker is right for you. But, as is the case with so many things when it comes to babies (except for those middle-of-the-night feeds, of course), time flies, and before you know it you’ll be thinking of what’s on the menu for baby’s first meal.īaby food makers are a great solution for making the process of cooking homemade food for your little one fast, simple and even fun. "I can quote every 'SpongeBob' episode.When you’re creating your baby registry, thinking about starting your little one on solid food may sound like a long way off. "I love doing impressions and voices," he told The New York Times Magazine. Lately, he's looking for ways to stream less and find other career avenues, including voice acting. Since then, when Ninja was already extraordinarily popular, he's remained one of streaming's biggest stars despite a move to Mixer and then back to Twitch after Mixer shut down. Ninja once apologized for using the N-word on stream himself, after, in his words, he "fumbled" the lyrics to a song and "got tongue tied in the worst possible way." That was also back in 2018, a little before his initial comments about streaming with women. It’s awful, but that’s the first thing I think of." "If someone says a racial slur on someone else's stream, it can potentially get that streamer banned. "If they're gaming and their first interaction with racism is one of their friends saying the N-word and they have no idea what it is-what if it was on my stream? Is it my job to have this conversation with this kid? No, because the first thing that’s going on in my head is, 'This kid is doing this on purpose to troll me,'" he said. His suggestions for parents: Listen to what your kids are saying in videogames when they think no one can hear them, and talk to them about racism. Ninja also discussed other harassment and racism in online spaces. That's as opposed to a regular Joe, "who can have a drink with his co-worker and no one gives a. When it comes to hanging out with women one-on-one on stream, "I don't have that luxury," he told The New York Times Magazine. Nothing about Ninja's position seems to have changed since then. On Twitch, it could mean a self-reinforcing network of popular men who exclude women, if not entirely, at least in one significant way. Many critics compared his rule to former US Vice President Mike Pence's rule that he never eats alone with a woman who isn't his wife, a rule which sets women apart as unequal, especially in political and professional contexts, where being barred from one-on-one interaction with powerful men is yet another unfair limitation. So if I am going to play with female gamers, I do it with a big group so it’s not that one-on-one interaction."īack in 2018, Ninja's views on the consequences of pairing up with women on Twitch were much discussed. But if I randomly start playing with a woman no one knows, people are going to start talking. I mean, they could be your best friend, that’s totally cool. I still stand by not having a lot of alone time with a woman, in general, if you are a married man. Here’s a clip.' You know how to make that never happen? You don’t let it happen! That’s what was going through my head. "I was like, I’m going to do anything in my power to make sure that no one can even start a rumor or make YouTube clickbait videos: 'Ninja is playing with this person a lot lately.

If you’re told there’s no extra money in the coffers, think about the whole package. So the extra £3,000 you’re asking for is good value compared with the £5,000 they’ll spend on recruiting and training someone new. Women, in particular, often need a confidence boost, so think about it like this: if you end up leaving, your employer will probably spend more on replacing you. “What’s the added value you’re bringing to your organisation? Have you taken on extra responsibility, or learned new skills?” The crucial thing, she says, is to talk about the value you bring. The key element is to work out how much you want, and go into the conversation believing you’re worth it. “Many people think the stakes are higher when they’re talking to someone more senior, but why should that be the case?” If you’re worried about talking to your boss, unpack that.
