![]() Williams sees a connection between Black Lightning and another superhero who plies his trade in a dangerous city that always feels on the precipice of chaos. I do understand the idea of how to juggle multiple things, while always trying to keep family at the forefront.” (L-R): Nafessa Williams as Anissa, China Anne McClain as Jennifer and Cress Williams as Jefferson - Photo: Annette Brown/The CW “I think that’s part of the reason I identify with him so well. “The Pierce family, and Jefferson, in particular, have to endure so much, internally, and then from outside influences,” Williams says. He wanted to focus on his family and being a high school principal, yet a local gang called The 100 was such a threat to Freeland that he had no choice but to return to a life of fighting crime, which has a significant effect on his family. Jefferson Pierce had given up fighting crime years ago when the first season began. On Black Lightning, it’s our neighborhood that’s going to fall apart.” The story of Black Lightning is that we’re this forgotten city that big-name superheroes don’t come to save, and our issues aren’t issues that, if this or that doesn’t happen, the world is going to end. There’s a universe where metahumans exist, so some of the other CW heroes are in our world, but we’re still isolated in this fictional city, which could be the south side of Chicago or Watts, California. “Yes, all these different universes exist, and at this current moment anything can happen, but right now we exist in our own universe. “Our showrunners are very focused and clear about this,” Williams says of the show’s rootedness. Pictured (L-R): China Anne McClain as Jennifer and Cress Williams as Jefferson. This commitment to Pierce’s street level concerns, and the show’s focus on issues plaguing our actual word today, is what makes Black Lightning the CW’s most potent show. The show’s set in the fictional city of Freeland, which creator Salim Akil, speaking during the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, said was in reference to the fact that Black Lightning is “trying to free the people.” Williams’ Jefferson Pierce, a high school principal with the ability to harness and manipulate electricity, doesn’t need to cross over into any larger world of superheroes and villains he’s got more than enough going on in his world. Currently, in its second season, Black Lightning is that rare superhero show- both electrifying (pun intended) and grounded in a recognizable world of family responsibilities and neighborhood concerns, touching on topics including systemic racism and local crime. ![]() One CW superhero who hasn’t crossed over is arguably the most interesting on the network- Cress Williams’ Black Lightning. The world has recently expanded, with Ruby Rose’s Batwoman joining the fray. The event, called the “ Arrowverse,” connects the superheroes from Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl, while including folks like Superman, John Constantine and more. That was the year the network began airing a yearly crossover event that involved many of the stars from their live-action series. ![]() What will they bring up?

And much more – a company in the UK called QR Memories even creates QR codes for use on gravestones, allowing people to scan the code to read more about that deceased person’s life (if they have an obituary or news story relating to them online). ![]() Access Wi-Fi by storing encryption details such as SSID, password, and encryption type.Authenticate online accounts and verify login details.Link directly to download an app on the Apple App Store or Google Play.The data stored in a QR code can include website URLs, phone numbers, or up to 4,000 characters of text. This allows it to house significantly more data. But a QR code is read in two directions – top to bottom and right to left. That means they can only store a small amount of information, usually in an alphanumeric format. Standard barcodes can only be read in one direction – top to bottom. To achieve this, they developed a type of barcode that could encode kanji, kana, and alphanumeric characters. They needed a more accurate way to track vehicles and parts during the manufacturing process. The first QR code system was invented in 1994 by the Japanese company Denso Wave, a Toyota subsidiary. More recently, they have played a key role in helping to trace coronavirus exposure and slow the spread of the virus.Ĭheck out this video on YouTube how to recognize malicious QR codes and protect yourself: QR codes are frequently used to track information about products in a supply chain and – because many smartphones have built-in QR readers – they are often used in marketing and advertising campaigns. What are QR codes?Ī QR code is a type of barcode that can be read easily by a digital device and which stores information as a series of pixels in a square-shaped grid. But no matter how much they contain, when scanned, the QR code should allow the user to access information instantly – hence why it’s called a Quick Response code. While they may look simple, QR codes are capable of storing lots of data. ![]() Because I'm always nervous that ClipMenu will break, I hope this review will motivate Cop圜lip developers to step up and 'copy' the versatility of ClipMenu because a capable clipboard manager is an essential operating feature for me (and I think anyone that bothers to use it a while will surely then be spoiled). Finally, that amazing little app hasn't been updated since 2014 but still works flawlessly up thru at least Catalina (I haven't upgraded to Big Sur but expect it will continue working well). I have Copy Clip and you don't! Me stupid? What took YOU so long to finally get here?Ĭop圜lip functions fine as a basic clipboard manager BUT it still doesn't work as well as the similar free ClipMenu app which has very useful "Snippets", "Shortcuts" and "Actions" (all very useful but the user doesn't have to bother because they don't complicate the interface or basic usability) plus configuration of almost everything imaginable, from the menu bar icon choice to what types of files may be clipped to the quantity of clipped items stored to subfolders on the menu etc etc. And for those who are thinking, "How stupidi of that guy to not have a back up of those 29 pages!!", consder the following. I mean if you're readng this and you do not yet have copy clip installled, please do it now. My astoundment stems from my totally forgetting about thse college days when in a matter of seconds, a twety-nine page research paper could be gone with no chance of retrieval all because I copied to clipboard, deleted one graphic from the paper, accidentally copied a second graphic to the clipboard and POOF!! - 29 pages gone forever. It is like I no longer write, create or design in fear of losing stuff. No kidding! My copy clip is set to temember the last 80 items I copied to clipboard. Age out the locally cached copies of server document versions that are more than n days old.I was simply astounded when I was asked to do a review for Copy Clip! The invitation took me back to a time "pre- CC" when I didn't have the ability to see any history of my clipboard, let alone the power to go back and paste a clipboard item that I copied to the clipboard but have copied 79 items since.Use a device-based license for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.Specify the location to save the licensing token used by shared computer activation.Enable EDU Org ID Sign In in Office from Windows Store.Allow extended offline use for Office 365 ProPlus.Note: This policy setting only applies to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.

And that doesn't do everything that your own limb could. Consequently, simply borrowing someone else's wand seems rather like borrowing a prosthetic. Considering all the emphasis on the wand choosing the wizard, I imagine that losing a wand is losing an arm or a leg it's that much a part of you. He managed to get Hermione to loan him her wand in the previous chapter, but it's not the same. His wand is irreparably damaged and, since he doesn't know how to do wandless magic, he feels utterly helpless. Rowling describes Harry gazing out on a cold, glittering winter world devoid of color, not knowing what to do next, or how to feel. And there's one sentence where the sheer insensitivity of the wizarding world (and Rowling) made me physically sick.Īs the chapter begins, Harry has just awakened from unconsciousness after very nearly being killed by Snake! Bathilda. Regrettably, Dumbledore is odious in this chapter. Perhaps she wrote it when the moon was in the seventh house and Jupiter had aligned with Mars. It's rare to find such a chapter in Rowling. The chapter is short, lucid, emotional without being emo and informative without drowning us in exposition or lack of continuity. I'm going to be honest with you lot there were occasional bits I liked here. In which Rita Skeeter dishes serious dirt, Dumbledore goes in for what he considers semi-benevolent despotism, Aberforth suspects DD of murder, Harry finally realises that Dumbledore Is Not What He Seemed, Rowling is cavalier about World War II, and I nearly lose my lunch.Ĭhapter Eighteen - The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore |
