![]() Willow uses a force-field spell to try to hold Glory at bay, while Buffy grabs Dawn and tries to escape. When Buffy dies at the end of the season, Giles can at least live in the knowledge that he told Buffy this before she sacrificed herself to save the world.įittingly, the episode opens right where “Tough Love” left off, with Glory discovering that Dawn is The Key because mind-melted Tara referred to her as pure green energy in Glory’s presence. I love that Giles finally told Buffy how proud he is of her and how much she means to him. It’s classic fantasy storytelling, so you can understand why my eleven-year-old self was screaming at the television when I first saw this episode. Buffy lost her mother a couple of months ago and now her father figure is going to die as well, leaving Buffy parentless and having no adult support system to rely on. ![]() If the leading character of “Game Of Thrones” can lose his head before the first season draws to a close, why would anyone else not be expendable? But, Joss wouldn’t be daring enough to kill Buffy Summers, a hero and idol of generations of people, would he? When Giles gets speared through the ribcage and tells Buffy that he couldn’t be prouder of her, I genuinely thought he was going to die. That’s a part of the reason why shows like “Game Of Thrones” and “The Walking Dead” have become so popular. ![]() This is horrific to watch as a fan because you don’t want any of the characters to die, but there’s no denying the excitement level. She’s not running to wait out the clock and stop Glory, she’s literally running for her life and the lives of her friends and family. Remember, this is before Buffy knows that the ritual can only take place at a certain time. She can’t fight, can’t hide, can’t save her sister.all she can do now is run. She’s stopped how many apocalypses by this point? Yet, here, she knows she can’t win. Time and time again, Buffy’s been able to defeat the most insurmountable odds and save the day. This is a big moment for Buffy’s character, as it’s something we’ve never seen her do before. Glory is perfectly capable of killing any of the Scoobies with the flick of her wrist, and let’s face it, it makes for captivating television.ĭue to this unstoppable threat, Buffy makes the choice to run away. Of course, having an enemy this unstoppable does come with problems.how can you top Glory from a threat standpoint? How can you raise the stakes (hehe) in the next season? I’m getting ahead of myself. The closest anyone has come to hurting Glory was Willow in the last episode, but even a dark-eyed, veiny Willow could only hold Glory at bay for a few minutes. Glory is a GOD! A God that Buffy hasn’t been able to remotely hurt since she arrived in Sunnydale. She can’t stake the enemy or blow it up with a rocket launcher, or pull out a uranium power core. It’s just so exciting to see this! For the first time ever, Buffy can’t defeat the evil in front of her. One of the biggest reasons why I love this episode is that almost the entirety of it takes place outside of Sunnydale! How often does this happen? A certain amount of “Anne” took place in Los Angeles, but that’s pretty much it. While “Spiral” does have a few glaring plot holes, there’s certainly more good than bad here. How often is it mentioned as one of the best episodes of the fifth season? How often does it get discussed as a memorable episode? Rarely, which is a shame. “Spiral” is a pretty great episode of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” that is often forgotten about in the grand scheme of things.

In general, the denotation of an expression is what we might call its 'dictionary' or 'objective' meaning. The situation with adjectives is slightly more confused, but we could say that adjectives such as 'yellow' or 'heavy' denote the quality of yellowness or heaviness. Nouns such as 'table' denote things such as, well, tables. Names, for instance, denote the person to whom they belong. One is what is called the denotation, or literal meaning, of that word or phrase - which we might think of as the actual thing or property to which the expression refers. When we say that a word, phrase, or symbol 'means' something, this is usually understood as consisting of two separate components. How can a song lyric say anything at all significant in so few words? In order to see how this is possible, we need to identify the two different senses in which those words can be said to have meaning. Connotation & DenotationĪn average novel contains around 100,000 words, whereas an average pop lyric probably contains somewhere between one and two hundred words - about the length of the average novel's back‑cover blurb. Indeed, as we saw in part two of this series, songs in the narrative mode actually do have to tell a story and while the lyric and dramatic modes are less similar to most prose writing, they still have to convey a feeling or message. Compared to a piece of prose such as a short story, most poems and song lyrics contain very few lines, yet the lyrics of a song may have to do as much 'work' as an entire story. Not only is the correct choice of individual words essential in order to achieve the sonic effects described last month, but it also determines how well your lyrics express the meaning you want to convey. The adage 'choose your words carefully' applies with special force to poetry and lyric writing. In other words, supposing we know what we want to say in a song, how can we express ourselves in a way that is true to our feelings and best conveys what those feelings are? This month, and in the next part of the series, it's time to consider the actual meaning of the words and phrases in song lyrics. ![]() Last month, I tackled metre and rhyme - phenomena that can make a verse, couplet, phrase or hook memorable simply because of the way it sounds when spoken or sung. In this series, I've been looking at some of the techniques poets use to analyse and write their material, and trying to show how they can help us understand what makes pop lyrics good or bad. ![]() This is the fourth article in a five‑part series.

His debut project, titled Meet the Woo, was released on July 26, 2019. In an interview with Real 92.3 LA, Pop Smoke cited some of his main influences being 50 Cent, DMX and Meek Mill. Smoke also used a signature and distinguishable “drill”-style rap in his music, the style that is typically seen in the UK rap scene.

So the original might be “Book.” After I tweak it I save it but also save it as a new file “Book2” which I export to pdf. Now I save the file with a different name before exporting. That isn’t what I wanted, so it surprised me. Affinity Publisher replaces your original file with a pdf version. InDesign saves a pdf file using the file name, so after exporting you have one original file, and a second pdf file with the same name but the suffix pdf.

In programming, sometimes boolean values ( true and false) are stored as strings ( "true" and "false"). ![]() To do so, we have nine different ways in which we can convert string to boolean in JavaScript. We would also like to invite you to try out Calendarific.Ĭalendarific is a global event intelligence platform and a developer-friendly worldwide holiday API covering public, bank, local, religious holidays that you can use within your applications.There are times when we have a string that contains "true" or "false" and we need to convert these strings to boolean (or bool) in Javascript. We hope you enjoying going over these tips, feel to leave a comment or share these tips and tricks you use when working booleans and strings in other programming languages. If the given string true matches, then the corresponding boolean is returned and boolean false is returned in every other case. That is, if your application will only use the value true, then you don’t need other combinations such as 1, on etc. Though we have used many string combinations for a true condition you may reduce them based on the string values stored by your application. Last but not least, we can use the switch-case control structure to cover all possible string value combinations which should lead to a true boolean value. Var boolValue = stringValue.toLowerCase() = 'true' ? true : false //returns true This is actually just the shorthand of the comparison operator, but we thought it’s still worth calling it out. ![]() In this next approach, we simply check the string for its equality with true and return a boolean true if there is a match and false otherwise using a ternary operator. Var boolValue = (/true/i).test(stringValue) //returns true i at the end of the regular expression is for case insensitive match. Now, if the string value is true, then boolValue will be true, else a false. In this case, we check whether the string contains true or not. Using the test method of javascript matches a regular expression against a string. Var boolValue = (stringValue ="true") //returns true If the string value is true, then the boolean value will also have a true, else a false as shown in the example below. With this approach, we are using the javascript equality operator to check the string value against a true value. Var boolValue = JSON.parse(falseValue) //returns false So, if the string value is ‘true’, it is converted to a boolean object with value as true and false otherwise.Ĭonst boolValue = JSON.parse(trueValue) //returns true JSON is a built-in object of javascript and its parse method parses a string as JSON and converts it into an object corresponding to the given text. One very easy way is to use the parse method of JSON.

Before transportation became readily available, the time of day was derived from the apparent solar time. Some locations do have offsets of 30 or 45 minutes such as Nepal and Newfoundland, but for the most part they are all whole hours away from UTC. The concept of a time offset refers to the amount of time added to, or subtracted from UTC which results in that location’s “civil time.”ĭepending on the zone, people will observe this standard time all year long, or they will observe Daylight Saving Time, also known as Summer Time in other parts of the world. For the most part, these zones are offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by whole numbers of hours either positive or negative in regards to the starting point. Time zones were originally created as a means of creating a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes.Īreas that are close in terms of commercial dependence or constant communication are usually located in the same time zone. Plainly speaking, time zones are geographical regions where generally everyone uses the same standard time. It is commonly referred to in military time with the letter “U” representing the time zone. In this designation the offset is eight hour behind UTC. This military time zone is used for aviation and refers to a stretch of sea between 127.5 degrees West and 112.5 degrees West. This time zone is also 8 hours behind UTC but is used exclusively by certain pacific islands which are listed below: The Aleutian Islands west of 169.30 West longitude are the one exception.
