"I think in a lot of ways Gawker has helped to define the voice of the internet," said Josh Benton, the director of the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University, who said he's been a daily reader "as long as there's been a Gawker." ![]() The site became a breeding ground for journalists, some of whom went on to jobs at the sort of establishment media outposts Gawker itself frequently mocked. Gawker's snarky and frequently vulgar style was influential throughout publishing. Thiel's vendetta against Gawker raised concerns about wealthy people covertly working to undermine media companies they didn't like. Univision wants those properties to help build a more youthful audience than that commanded by broadcast TV.īut Gawker's real enemy, it turns out, wasn't Hogan so much as Peter Thiel, a PayPal founder and early investor in Facebook who a Gawker site had outed as gay in 2007. The company currently publishes seven sites in addition to, including the feminist-focused Jezebel, the tech site Gizmodo and the sports site Deadspin. "If you want to ascribe blame, blame Denton." "The real shame is that Gawker gave Hogan a sledgehammer with which (to) pulverize it in state court," New York University journalism professor Adam Penenberg tweeted. Gawker Media went into bankruptcy protection after the verdict, and a judge has to approve the sale at a hearing Thursday. Gawker had published a video of Hogan having sex with a friend's wife.Ī Florida court awarded Hogan, whose lawsuit was secretly backed by an aggrieved Silicon Valley billionaire, $140 million in damages. ![]() Univision, the Spanish-language broadcaster, is buying the parent company, Gawker Media, for $135 million the sale follows Gawker's loss in a major invasion-of-privacy case brought by the former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan.

The news - appropriately enough, broken by Gawker itself - follows the sale of the site's parent company to Univision. , the brash New York website that broke new ground with its gossipy, no-holds-barred coverage of media, culture and politics, is shutting down after 14 years, brought low by an unhappy, but deep-pocketed, subject.

![]() Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer"s memory. With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. ![]() ![]() To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration.Īpplying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. This software is based on Ocean Framework, a powerful library developed to simplify and standardize the development of audio manipulation and analysis applications across multiple platforms. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. ![]() The tasks and notes trail off right around the summer of 2008… the same time the iPhone App Store launched.

My pocket Moleskine sits in the same box as all my used and unused Field Notes.įrom time to time I’ll page through that old hipster PDA and just look at page after page after page of tasks I’d written down and crossed off. Like Brett, I also keep my old notebooks. It served as my to-do list and note-taking tool.

There is the awesome side: your tasks and projects are scalable, collaborative, in sync between all your devices, and you can easily attach emails, URLs, photos, and all sorts of other data to your tasks. There are two sides to the digital task- and project-management coin. Kids recognize a truth we try to forget as adults - a physical representation of an achievement gives you something to hold on to.īrett’s right. It might seem childish, or at least child-like, to want to commemorate important events with ribbons and trophies and badges - but that’s unfair and unkind. I think we forget sometimes how important that is. ![]() There’s nothing to grasp, nothing to point to, no buildings or monuments to your labor. As a result, smartwatches on the market today appeal mostly to tech geeks who are interested in some of those few interesting features (namely notifications, map directions, and the intersection of smartphones and watches), but they’re not really smart because they generally fetch data from a primary device - the smartphone - and they’re not really good as watches either.īrett Peters worked remotely as an IT professional for 7 years, until suddenly the company he was working for shut its doors.īrett wrote an excellent article about the sudden change, and he shares some of his thoughts on the past 7 years of doing digital work and working remotely for a tech company:īuilding virtual things leaves very little behind. ![]() Most smartwatches I see today are bulky, have some convenient features, and try to cram features and apps from smartphones and tablets into a form factor that’s both new and old (watches have been around for centuries), but the “smartwatch” tech gadget has become a trend only recently. Smartphones were bulky, had some convenient features, and tried to cram old metaphors of PC software into a new form factor, resulting in baby software.

![]() But given her repeated endorsement of military intervention while in government, one wonders whether these Iraq War proponents were onto something.Īgain and again, Power uses The Education of an Idealist to defend military action. She spends only a handful of pages on this episode in the memoir, mostly to declare it a “misinterpretation” partly due to “the coincidence of publishing the book in relative proximity to the start of the war.” Perhaps. In the lead-up to the Iraq War, Power was disturbed to see A Problem From Hell trotted out to justify an invasion she did not support. As a global superpower, it has no excuse not to use its unprecedented reach to protect the vulnerable - by military means, if necessary. For Power, the United States must be ever-vigilant against potential slaughter. In this work and elsewhere, Power dredges up shameful histories that others would rather ignore, from American indifference to Jewish suffering during the Holocaust to the State Department’s continuing refusal to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Her involvement with Barack Obama, first in his senatorial office and later in his presidential administration, would have been unthinkable without the glowing reception A Problem From Hell received. The resulting project was A Problem From Hell, the Pulitzer Prize–winning monograph that helped furnish the intellectual justification for humanitarian intervention and established Power as a leading thinker in liberal foreign policy circles. ![]() ![]() ![]() During the Bosnian genocide, Power was a biting objector to US inaction, a stance that pushed her to cover the conflict as a reporter and later to research the United States’ troubling relationship to other twentieth-century genocides. In the abstract, this self-description rings true. Throughout the book, which traces Power’s development from human rights activist and journalist to leading Obama administration figure, Power describes herself as a “critic” of US foreign policy. An unwitting parable, The Education of an Idealist shows what can happen when laudable values never find the radicalism that can truly give them flight. It tells a story of misdirected righteousness, in which Power’s youthful critique of American foreign policy is channeled into a personal and institutional comfort with hegemonic power. Power’s idealistic view of governmental bureaucracy sidesteps a necessary debate about complicity with Trumpian injustice - a striking blind spot for one of the world’s leading experts on genocide.ĭespite the title, the book is less about education than affirmation. With its adoration of the military and praise for the neutrality of “public service,” the memoir raises serious questions about contemporary liberalism’s ability to check antidemocratic trends. Yet her flawed prescriptions - particularly “humanitarian intervention” by the world’s most powerful military - help maintain US dominance in the world and often undermine the very principles they profess to defend. This distinction matters because Power’s political causes - atrocity prevention, support for subjugated minorities, international human rights - should be championed by all decent people. It deftly conveys the linkage between personal biography and political belief, showing Power not as a wily imperialist villain but a committed liberal whose consistent focus on human rights has nonetheless led her to embrace perpetual empire. Samantha Power’s new memoir, The Education of an Idealist, is an important and engaging work that should be widely read - especially by those of us who disagree with her. Review of The Education of an Idealist: A Memoir, by Samantha Power (Dey Street, 2019). In case you only have a campfire / torch, try to get inside a cave where it is cool to be able to regulate the temperature (Tip for primitive server users!).

Well acknowledged with the definition, how to find the radius and various formulas for the radius of the circle, let us step forward and practise some solved examples. \(\large R\text\) Solved Example on Radius of a Circle Let us proceed forward and find the radius of a circle formula using the diameter, circumference and area. In the previous heading, you saw the radius of a circle formula can be determined with the diameter, area and circumference of a given circle. If in case the center of the circle is at origin that is the coordinate of the centre is (0,0), then the equation of the circle becomes:Ĭircles are one of the most regularly found patterns in the world, therefore the radius of the circle formula and its calculation are important. (h,k) are the coordinates of the center of the circle.The radius of a circle equation in the cartesian coordinate geometry plane is given by the formula: For any circle in mathematics, the common notation used to denote the radius is ‘R’ or ‘r’. A circle is defined as a two-dimensional shape, which occupies its area and perimeter. In simple words, we can say that, when we join the center of a circle to any point over the circumference applying a straight line, then that line is termed as the radius of that circle. The radius of a circle is defined as the distance measured from the centre of the circle to any point on its circumference. ![]() Also, the diameter in a circle is the line that separates the circle into two equal parts and is equal to twice the radius.ĭefinition of Radius of a Circle : Radius of a Circle is the length between the center of the circle to any location on its boundary. The measure from the centre of the circle to the outer line is its radius. A circle is also termed as the locus of the points drawn at equidistant levels from the centre. The Radius of Outer Circle of Annulus given Area and Perimeter formula is defined as straight line from centre to the outer circumference of Annulus, calculated using Area and Perimeter is calculated using Outer circle radius of Annulus ((Perimeter of Annulus /(2 pi))+((Area of Annulus / pi)/(Perimeter of Annulus /(2 pi))))/2. ![]() (See also “Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals.”) This is also the sort of skit where-if you don’t laugh solely at the title-this probably won’t be the thing for you. This is classic Samberg, as he takes a well-known character or person and throws him in a situation that is immediately hilarious. Similarly, we get to see Legolas from The Hobbit trying to order at Taco Bell. Watching Quasimoto hit on various girls at a bar in 1482 while wisecracking about his hunch is so strange that it works. First he plays Quasimoto as a Confident Hunchback-the idea of that alone is pretty great. Last week’s Charlize Theron episode brought the weird in a big way, but Samberg brings his own brand of weirdness as evidenced in the skits that center around him. Of the two shorts, this one is probably more likely to go viral, but it doesn’t have the payoff that Davvincii has. Tatiana Maslany makes a quick cameo and Pharrell’s appearance makes this about the 500th song he’s appeared on in the last year. The second short-which surprisingly happens later in the night-brings back The Lonely Island as Samberg and Jorma sing about how they like to hug girls and then leave them hanging. The build to this crazy conclusion is almost as exciting for us as waiting for the beat to drop is for the crowd. Practically the entire cast is in the crowd and when the bass does finally drop and Lil Jon appears on a computer saying it’s time for everyone to “Get Turned Up To Death,” everyone dies from exploding heads and Davvincii’s laser eyes. The first featured Samberg playing DJ Davvincii, who leaves his adoring crowd wondering when the bass will drop. Oh man, I forgot how much I love seeing those sweet words “An SNL Digital Short.” It was a given that Samberg would come back with a digital short, but we were surprised with two of them. It’s much more fun than it probably sounds on paper, and I’d be surprised if we don’t see more of these characters next season. Pushing the boundaries of adorableness is Kyle Mooney as their six-year-old “musical director,” who plays the xylophone and has a slight speech impediment. Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon are two ten-year-olds who are the troublemakers at their summer camp. “Camp Wicawabe” seems like an attempt to do a younger version of “Girlfriends Talk Show,” but is far more adorable. Of course as soon as Hader is name-dropped, you know he’s going to come out and reclaim his title, but completely unexpected is Martin Short running out to help Hader celebrate. With a little help from Seth Meyers, Samberg tries to beat Hader’s record by running through a list of impressions of everyone from ALF to Seth Meyers mocking Samberg. Apparently in his seven seasons on SNL, Samberg completed only 23 fewer impressions than Bill Hader, which is surprising since (as Samberg points out) he did 100 digital shorts and about 6 live sketches. Samberg’s first monologue doesn’t rely on singing or the audience interrupting, so right away that’s a plus. It’s also crazy to think that this skit couldn’t have been done earlier this year-so good job SNL for adding some diversity to your cast. Also, the appearance of Maya Rudolph, one of twelve cameos for the night, as Beyoncé was a welcome hilarity and sort of set up the blending of casts that would highlight the evening. Jay Pharoah and Sasheer Zamata as Jay Z and Solange are fine, but what really makes this skit work is the elevator footage with the audio on, which reveals that Solange was just trying to get a spider off Jay. As hinted at in the news, SNL decided to take on the Solange & Jay Z elevator fight, but without the real Solange (as speculated). Vincent” became a strong combination of the last generation of SNL stars and the current cast.įor perhaps the only time this season, the topical cold open was actually pretty funny. Yet by mixing a ton of cameos with the up-and-coming stars of the current cast, “Andy Samberg/St. ![]() This season’s premiere with Tina Fey wasn’t as strong as might’ve been expected, so I was understandably wary of Andy Samberg’s first hosting gig.
