Other opponents of differential pricing include consumer groups and net neutrality advocates who argue it favours certain content and limits competition, especially if a provider favours their own content. They argue providers should compete on speed, not volume. The majority opposed differential pricing, citing concerns that it flouts the principle of net neutrality, where all traffic is treated equally, and could lead to price hikes. In this discussion, many Reddit users took the opportunity to call for an end to data caps, even though that issue is tangential to the hearing. Reddit users skew younger, male and tech-savvy - not the usual suspects for a process dominated by legal and regulatory experts. While some argue it simply cast a wider net, other argued it provided a tilted picture of views on differential pricing as Redditors tend to lean the same way on Internet governance issues. The decision to seek comments on Reddit proved controversial in itself. “While we can’t comment on the substance of the comments received as the process is ongoing, we are very happy that many Canadians took this opportunity to make their opinions count,” CRTC spokeswoman Patricia Valladao wrote in an email. ![]() This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. ![]() Georgia’s irritation and anger toward Ginny will linger over the course of the season.

Showrunner Sera Gamble previously teased that she liked the idea of seeing Joe a little out of his element. However, don't expect to see Joe in the City of Lights for long, as new production photos have the You leading man in London.

The language of aesthetic judgment is gustatory-one has good taste or feels something in one’s gut-but crosswords are meant to transcend physical sensations. When he plotted out a “Wordplay”-themed crossword onscreen, using grid paper and pencil, I internalized the puzzle’s protocols: perfect one-hundred-and-eighty-degree symmetry, elegantly interlocking words, a minimum of black squares, no jargon or linguistic waste, only “good words.” But with his simple puns he seemed to be accessing something foundational about language-a code that could be rearranged and manipulated through sheer brainpower. The hard-core kitsch aesthetics of Reagle’s life were not exactly what drew me in. That’s ‘No, a Shark’ !” His house is full of crossword paraphernalia: black-and-white ties, mugs, and a crossword mural in his living room. Later, when coming across the phrase “Noah’s Ark”: “Switch the ‘S’ and the ‘H’ around. “Dunkin’ Donuts-put the ‘D’ at the end, you get ‘Unkind Donuts,’ which I’ve had a few of in my day,” he says. ![]() Reagle’s cameo is distinctly unglamorous: we see him in a midsize sedan, driving by Florida’s strip malls, riffing on the roadside signage. Most of what I knew about crossword construction came from the 2006 documentary “Wordplay,” in which Merl Reagle, the late syndicated puzzle-maker, walks the viewer through the mechanics of designing a crossword. My first crossword puzzles reflected my high-school preoccupations: an early grid was “midterms”-themed, featuring words with “term” in their middle: DETERMINED, MASTERMIND, WATERMELON. I filled notebooks with calorie counts and clues, meal plans and puzzle themes. As I tried harder to escape the trappings of my body-to become a boundless mind-I plunged deeper into a material world of doctors, therapists, scales, and blood samples. A little obsessive, maybe-but the cultural residue of female hysteria, a century later, might have you convinced that this simply meant “adorable.” And, without a doubt, she must be smart. She must be disciplined, I imagined people thinking. “Crossword-puzzle constructor,” I found, was an uncannily compatible identity-container. Diagnoses for mental illness are notoriously reductive, and I wanted to be reduced. It was a distorted fantasy of success that ignored the actual demographic reach of eating disorders and betrayed the stony limits of my teen-aged imagination. I found in the common identifiers of the disease-extreme thinness, perfectionism, a penchant for self-punishment-a rigid template on which to trace my pubescent identity. I read in a health-class textbook that high-achieving, affluent young white women were the population most likely to succumb to anorexia. The connection between these impulses felt intuitive: they both stemmed from a desire to control my image and to nurture a fledgling sense of self. I began writing crosswords when I was fourteen, which is also when I began starving myself. It was this paradox-the promise of control and transcendence-which first drew me to the prototypically modern grid: the crossword puzzle. “The grid’s mythic power is that it makes us able to think we are dealing with materialism (or sometimes science, or logic) while at the same time it provides us with a release into belief (or illusion or fiction),” Krauss wrote. In 1979, the art critic and historian Rosalind Krauss wrote about the ubiquity of the grid in modern art, citing the even-panelled windowpanes of Caspar David Friedrich and the abstract paintings of Agnes Martin. From sidewalks to spreadsheets to after-hours skyscrapers projecting geometric light against a night sky, the grid creates both order and expanse. A grid has a matter-of-fact magic, as mundane as it is marvellous. ![]() The move is the latest change for the constantly-shifting network, which was rebranded from Spike in 2018.

Thanks to continued moistening, due in part to a strong low-level jet stream a few thousand feet above the ground, conditions remained favorable well into the overnight.īy 10 p.m. While most thunderstorms tend to weaken or transition into complexes in the Plains after dark, the Greensburg case was an exception. Plot by Andrew Berrington (derived from NARR reanalysis). 500 mb geopotential height and wind at 03z. Very high levels of instability were present - CAPE in excess of 3500 J kg¯¹ provided ample opportunity for explosive updraft development. Concurrent with this development was a strengthening in the wind fields at all levels as the low pressure trough approached from the west. This storm, which would ultimately become the “Greensburg supercell,” intensified as it shifted towards the Kansas border. Towards dusk, another supercell formed to the north of the storm which produced the tornado in the video. This storm was documented by Reed Timmer and Joel Taylor, as seen in the video below. The exception to that rule was a lone supercell, which produced a narrow, but strong tornado in Ellis County. The day of Greensburg was one where there was some question if it might “bust.” A late show, it ended up that a capping inversion further south kept storms limited through the day across Oklahoma.

(Author modification via Penn State)Īs the first wave in the series rotated through the trough, the next one helped carve the buckling jet-stream deep into the southwest U.S. It is inclusive of the entire outbreak series. Pattern reanalysis for the period centered on the Greensburg tornado event. A front-end vorticity maximum and attendant jet streak helped spark off some storms and tornadoes across northern Colorado. It all began with a powerful and slow-moving low pressure trough dipping through the northwestern U.S. While the biggest day of the bunch was May 5 - the 4th is when the most disastrous portion of the several-day period occurred. As if the hit already taken wasn’t enough, the indescribable destruction also came the day prior to a major tornado outbreak impacting the same region.īorn of a classic setup for a Plains tornado outbreak series, from May 3 through May 6 (the duration is open to interpretation, for this we are talking the main trough before it began to degrade) there were 139 tornadoes, mostly in the Plains from South Dakota to Texas. While the Greensburg monster is what the day is known for, the supercell responsible was an incredibly prolific tornado producer. It’s the most recent to happen in the state as well. The first EF5 on the launched-in-2007 Enhanced Fujita Scale, Greensburg was also the first F/EF5 in the state of Kansas since the Andover tornado of April 26, 1991. ![]() Terrible and miraculous all at once, “only” 11 residents lost their lives. Nearly 70 others were injured. At 1.7 miles in width, the hit would prove unnecessarily excessive.
