Kragujevac Mayor Nikola Daŝić from Kragujevac also did not respond to an email request for comment.Īld. and Marina Dimitrijevic – co-chairs of Milwaukee’s sister cities committee – both ignored my repeated requests for comment, which I made via email, phone calls and text messages. Mayor Johnson isn’t the only one who expressed zero interest in talking to Kragujevac officials about ways to stop Serbian weapons from being used to wreak havoc in U.S. After all, if Milwaukee and Kragujevac are gonna be “sisters,” they ought to be able to have those kinds of difficult “family” discussions. “Are you interested in knowing and do you care?” I asked. I also asked Mayor Johnson if he was going to ask Zastava and Kragujevac city leaders for information on how many of Zastava’s weapons have contributed to the carnage we see in Milwaukee. I simply asked the mayor: “ Since fighting gun violence is one of Milwaukee’s top priorities, what, if any, role do you envision or would you welcome for Kragujevac’s municipal government and Zastava’s corporate leadership in aiding Milwaukee as their ‘sister city’ in this cause?” To be clear, I never suggested that anyone from Milwaukee “chastise” anyone from Kragujevac. Would chastising the leaders of a sister city make us safer? No.” “Would Milwaukee be safer if criminals did not possess automatic weapons? Of course. “Weapons like those manufactured by Zastava Arms have been used to commit horrific crimes in this country including the death of Sandra Parks here in Milwaukee more than five years ago,” the spokesman said. “It is invidious disparagement to link the Milwaukee and Kragujevac sister city relationship with the criminal abuse of automatic weapons from a Serbian military arms manufacturer,” a spokesman for the mayor told me in a statement. Mayor Cavalier Johnson – through a spokesman – cast aspersions on my inquiry into whether his administration would use its new sister city relationship with Kragujevac to explore ways to stem the flow of assault-style weapons from Serbia onto the streets of Milwaukee, even though federal data show Serbia exported nearly 47,000 guns to the U.S. Somehow I thought Milwaukee’s elected officials – who profess to want to make the city “ safer and safer ” – would be interested in discussing potential policies and strategies to prevent similar tragedies from happening in the future. 26 in the Common Council Chambers at Milwaukee’s City Hall.Īs an investigative reporter with a keen interest in gun trace data and an abiding affinity for my native Milwaukee, the city’s pending sister city relationship with Kragujevac struck me as a prime opportunity to revisit what I found out about the origin of the gun used in Sandra’s tragic death. The ceremony is scheduled to take place at 11:30 a.m. I was reminded of this fact recently when I read that Milwaukee leaders are set to formalize a “sister city” relationship with Kragujevac, Serbia. Just as Sandra’s story had global appeal, my investigation found that the story of the gun that was used in her slaying was international as well. “Little children are victims of senseless gun violence.”After months of haggling, Milwaukee police finally released records showing that the gun used to kill Sandra Parks was made nearly 5,000 miles away by Zastava Arms, a military weapons manufacturer in Kragujevac, Serbia. “In the city in which I live, I hear and see examples of chaos almost every day,” Sandra stated in her essay, which won third place in Milwaukee’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. This was due to the fact that two years prior to being fatally shot, Sandra had written an award-winning essay in which she decried the very gun violence that ultimately claimed her life. Those questions were all the more pressing given the fact that Sandra’s killing had made headlines around the world. 13th St., where one of the bullets shattered her bedroom window and struck her in the upper body. More specifically, I wanted to know how the weapon got into the hands of a convicted felon who used it in a vendetta to recklessly fire six shots into Sandra’s home on N. When I first learned about the fatal shooting of 13-year-old Sandra Parks in 2018, one of the most urgent questions I had was about the origin of the AK-47 style weapon that ended the Milwaukee eighth-grader’s life.

It’s true “cable” TV, in that it uses coaxial cables to deliver service, as opposed to a satellite TV or fiber optic TV. Spectrum TV service shares availability with Spectrum Internet®, covering more than a third of U.S. In theory one could even write a library that muxes to mp4 (with dolby vision and transcoding blu-ray PGS subtitles into DVD vobsub, dts to ac3 and such) and transform MakeMKV into MakeMP4 The muxer library is fairly separated from the makemkcon app, and is being open source is easily changeable. The "thing" that that actually creates an MKV file is a MKV multiplexer library, which is based on libmatroska and is therefore opensource. And it turns that VLC et al interpret the "default" flag differently. I believe matroska spec requires each track of type to have a default flag. Believe it or not, this was actually a bugfix - "if the subtitle track is flagged by default, and then it turns out to be empty, and the track is derived - then flag his parent/base track as default instead". Looks like the behavior still exists in 1.15. the full sub track, so I am back to square one, and once again I have to fix this afterwards.Īs things stand, with 1.14.7 I have to use a personal profile, and then either not set a d flag for either track in the GUI and fix afterwards if it turns out there are forced subs, or set a d flag for the forced track and fix afterwards if there aren't any forced subs.Īt the very least, can the issue of the track-specific "d" flag via the GUI be fixed per my episode 1 example above? Better still, just go back to how it was up to 1.14.5? Unfortunately, if we do the same thing for episode 1 (set the d flag for the forced sub track in the GUI), by completion of the rip, there isn't a second subtrack to output as this episode has no forced subs, but the d flag is now set for the sub track that is available, i.e. I've now got this to work and the output contains two sub tracks, with the forced track having a default status so VLC player shows it automatically. In order to get the forced sub track to have a default status, in expert mode I set the "d" for the MKV flag for the PGS English (forced only) track. Let's go back to episode 2 of GoT series 1. Unfortunately, this does not quite work as it should. We can fix by editing the rip or prevent it by use of a personal profile and use "setFirstSubtitleTrackAsDefault=false". Version 1.14.7: as we've all noticed, it is defaulting to set the first sub track as default, so whenever we include subs in the rip, VLC and Kodi will show them. The above scenarios mirror disc playback perfectly. There are no forced subs so only one sub track is output, but it does not have the default status set, so VLC and Kodi do not show the full track by default, but the subs are available upon request. I select PGS English and PGS English (forced only). Output correctly contains two subtitle tracks, second of which contains the forced subs, and this track is marked as default and is automatically displayed in VLC player and Kodi.Įpisode 1 (no forced subs in the main track). Up to version 1.14.5, behaviour was as follows:Įpisode 2 (first of many episodes with forces subs embedded in the main sub track). I will use Game of Thrones Series 1 bluray as an example. Posting on this again as I do feel there has been a functionality regression in 1.14.6/7. It would be useful to know if handling of sub default flags has changed at some point, and if anyone would object to either changing back or having this set as a user configurable option. I've not been ripping much in the last year so I'm not sure when this issue came about. Is it correct that the way makemkv handles this has changed at some point? This is a bit of a chore, as I'm having to remux now afterwards to get the flags set correctly, or just gamble that there are not forced subs, whereas before I could usually do the whole thing in one pass. This means I now get the full subs showing when I don't want them. This was perfect, exactly mirroring original-disc playback.Īt some point, it looks like things have changed so that in the event the forced track is empty, the mkv default flag is now set for the full main language subtitle track. the full subs would only be shown in Kodi upon request. If there are no forced subtitles, I'm pretty sure what used to happen is that the main language track would be retained but without the d flag set - i.e. In the rare occasions where there are forced subtitles within the main track the forced track gets the default flag in the mkv file and the subs seamlessly switch on when the mkv is played through Kodi. as common on Marvel titles, I am focusing here on the handling of forced subs embedded in the main track, e.g. (I should clarify I am very familiar on the subject of separate dedicated subtitle tracks to provide forced subtitles, e.g. My usual ripping workflow is to tick both my main language subtitle track and the forced version.

ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act and was put in place to prohibit those who have disabilities from being discriminated against. However, Sanrio often changes character history in order to appeal to local audiences, so he is sometimes said to be born in Brazil and/or living in New York City. Pochacco was born on February 29th, 1989 (a Leap Day which does not exist, the closest being in 1988 or 1992), on Uguisu Yokocho ("Nightingale Lane" in English), and lives in Fuwa Fuwa Town ("'Airy' Town" in English). This problem was apparently solved in a recent incarnation of him, as he is seen with a motorscooter. Although he walks upright, he still has a hard time tripping over himself often usually resulting in head injuries with an accumulation of bandages.

In the early years of his life, Pochacco was referred to as "The Yorimichi Dog". Explore cinnamoroll (´)s board 'Cinamoroll pfp' on Pinterest. Sanrio created him after losing the rights to Peanuts, and designed him after Snoopy. He is often dressed in athletic attire, as he has a sporty and playful personality. He is drawn as a white dog with black floppy ears, but no visible mouth. This has allowed the brand to remain relevant in the modern age, solidifying its position as a leading character brand.Īll around the world, fans of Sanrio continue to show their enthusiasm for the brand’s lovable characters.Pochacco ( ポチャッコ, Pochakko) is one of the many fictional characters produced by Sanrio in 1989. The company has also made a push into the digital space, with TV programs, mobile games, and virtual reality experiences featuring its characters. In recent years, Sanrio has continued to expand its reach and influence, with Hello Kitty and its other characters appearing on everything from cellphone cases to airplanes. Sanrio has also collaborated with a number of well-known brands including Converse, Anti Social Social Club, and MAC Cosmetics to create limited-edition collections featuring its characters. At Puroland, visitors can meet and interact with the characters in person, dine at character cafes, and snap photos in an ultra-kawaii environment. In 1990, the company opened the Sanrio Puroland theme park in Tama, Japan, which features live shows, parades, and attractions based on its characters. Sanrio continues to grow and innovate, not only in terms of original character designs but also through a number of significant events and partnerships. Two of them, Aggretsuko and Gudetama, even have their own animated TV shows on Netflix! These characters, along with many others, have appeared on a wide range of products including clothing, accessories, stationery, and home goods. Since Hello Kitty's debut, Sanrio has introduced numerous other popular characters, such as My Melody, a pink bunny with a red hood Keroppi, a frog with big eyes and a small smile and Little Twin Stars, a pair of angelic twins. Today, there are more than 100 Sanrio boutiques throughout Japan, and Sanrio goods are sold in over 15,000 U.S. To this day, Hello Kitty continues to be the brand's most popular and profitable character. Quickly, the simple character became a global phenomenon. Two years later, Hello Kitty was launched in the United States. Released in 1974, the first Hello Kitty product was a transparent coin purse featuring her image, a glass bottle of milk, and a fishbowl. Famously, Hello Kitty has no mouth because she "speaks directly from the heart". One such cartoonist was Yuko Shimizu, who created Hello Kitty, a little girl who looks like a white cat with two eyes and a yellow nose. Tsuji began hiring cartoonists to develop an original range of character-based merchandise. To reflect the new focus on character goods, the company's name was changed to Sanrio, which comes from the Spanish words "san" (a shortened form of "santo" meaning "saint") and "río" (meaning "river"). It was an instant hit, and the company quickly shifted directions. However, in the early 1970s, Tsuji recognized the potential for using cute characters to market products to children and young people. Initially, the Yamanashi Silk Company focused on producing and selling silk products such as ties and scarves. Founded in 1960 by Shintaro Tsuji as the Yamanashi Silk Company, Sanrio has evolved significantly since its conception. Include the entire 2player co-op campaign (like theSpoon’s version from Hiveworkshop, just make that a standard download, like free DLC from in the main menu) I know people can just host the maps in Custom game lobbies, but not everybody knows about the Co-op campaign since its not listed within the game automatically, and it requires an annoying way of saving/loading using a passwordĨ.) If they can add DLC packs then Blizzard could Sell a new Co-op mission DLC add-on pack for $15 specifically focusing on co-op missions that includes some sort of Co-op mini-games (like Sc2 commanders, but with more interesting maps, 2-4 player teams, full AI, and increasing difficulty at higher levels based on rank)Ĭommunity members already make maps like this, but it would be better if Blizzard could add the proper settings and options in the menu for us to make things smoother/easier with some “official maps” and highly-rated community maps mixed together… plus a team search function (…hiveworkshop could even hold a contest for map makers!) Also maybe maybe possibly, add a new game mode to ladder/matchmaking like in w3C? something like Random Heroes or 2v2v2v2?ģ.) Reduce the price of Reforged to $20 and include the stupid bonus skins for free (or at least reduce skins to $5) please do not add more skins unless they are combined with a proper expansion! they are only good for single player and certain custom maps, but make visibility worse for ladder and most players use Classic anywayĤ.) Just make Ladder free2play in Classic mode, maybe unranked only? but campaign and custom games would still require purchase (or only give access to a few maps)… also, allow players to only install the Classic graphics without the extra 30GB for Reforgedĥ.) Make the Classic graphics more like the HD mod from SC2 armies of Azeroth, then make the Reforged graphics more like the Quenching modĦ.) Add some new features to Custom Games and the Map Editor, like the mods added in by Hiveworkshop, or at least improve a lot of the bugs without breaking it furtherħ.) Not only do we need back “Custom Campaigns” but they should further improve the way campaigns display in the main menu… almost all new players are completely unaware of Custom Campaigns or how to even download them, it should be intuitive/simple to have multiple DLC campaigns accessible and switch between them from the main menu without needing to manually organize the folders (and with auto-updates)īlizzard should Add a “download” section to the main menu to highlight popular fan-made projects, such as the fan-made Re-Reforged campaign mod… it would be cool to see projects like that easily accessed on the main menu for more players to use as a standard or “official” download available, since not everybody searches google or knows about the Hiveworkshop Now that Reforged is getting some new updates, I hope they continue to improve the game, here’s some suggestions that I think could improve the player base to bring in new players:ġ.) bring all w3Champions features to Bnet including: reconnect (with lag-countdown timer), better matchmaking, clans, more servers, bring further UI improvements, zoom, QWER hotkeys in the options, fix bugs, smoother searching, merge servers for custom game lobbies, etc… in fact just merge w3C and Bnet, basically make w3C a standard featureĢ.) Allow players to search for multiple gametypes, like I should be able to search for FFA and 1v1 at the same time, or 2v2 and 3v3 at the same time and matchmaking can alternate or pick whichever is faster.

On TikTok, influencers have crowned a new fashion trend titled “ Mob Wife Aesthetic ,” which is a versatile but distinct style. But one show in particular, The Sopranos, is gaining traction due to its newly reinvigorated cult-like following that finds intrigue and fascination with the women of the mobster zeitgeist. While on the small screen, TV shows like Peaky Blinders and Boardwalk Empire have become favorites of many due to some of the same reasons. Over the decades, mobster films like The Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface and American Gangster are known for their leading male casts and their delectably tailored suiting. But many gardeners claim the trick to keeping squirrels away from their prized tomatoes is to simply set up a feeder (with sunflower seeds and other nuts) in an area away from your garden. Yes, it almost sounds too simple - or perhaps like succumbing to squirrel extortion. Here's an example of the heated, perennial squirrel-cat rivalry. A great way to do that is to "hire" a dog or cat to patrol the yard. Squirrels, apparently, are not fond of the reflection or the feel of foil. For vegetable pots, some gardeners recommend placing aluminum foil across the top and poking holes for water. It might not look nice, but if done right, squirrels will soon get frustrated and find other places to eat. Protect your garden - after planting bulbs or seeds, or when plants begin blooming - with netting or chicken wire. These also have to be reapplied after rains. 2.) Other varieties of predator pee include coyote, fox, bear, mountain lion and tiger. One product claims wolf urine "creates the illusion that a predator is nearby," which sends other animals, like our pesky little squirrel, running out of fear, never to return. You just spray it around the perimeter of your garden. The sprays must be reapplied after rains. Others mix home-brew combinations that include capsaicin (the stuff in chili peppers that makes your mouth burn), peppermint oil, vinegar and other unpleasant-tasting ingredients, and they spray them around plants, but not actually on the plants they intend to eat. That's why some gardeners sprinkle cayenne pepper around their plants. Like many humans, squirrels don't like it when their lips and mouths burn. Many experienced gardeners, including those who produce the Farmer's Almanac, claim hot spices do the trick. Some top "targets" for squirrels: tomatoes, bulbs, sunflowers, beans, cucumbers, eggplants, squash, figs and really anything we might ourselves eat. And that means the war with pesky, persistent, athletic and quite intelligent squirrels is officially on. For it is gardening season and people are planting and tending their vegetables. No doubt, gardeners everywhere are reading the above words, nodding their heads even while steam casually escapes from their ears. if you have a family of squirrels around, it only takes one to learn the trick of breaking and entering and you can be sure that soon the whole family will be enthusiastic burglars."
