It would be nearly impossible to compile a list of songs that would completely sum up Philly hip-hop in the 90s, but the following selection of songs is a sincere attempt at capturing the sound and style(s) that defined this chaotic and memorable decade. Wu-Tang Clan is the nastiest group in all of hip-hop, they’re looked up to by almost all of the greats, even ones that were in the same era as them. We round off our list of the best 90s hip-hop songs with a legend of the game. Not only did Philly hip hop in the 90s build upon the stylistic growth and evolution that it enjoyed in the 80s, but the 90s also set a clear path for the music’s future with many young artists making significant breakthroughs in the 2000s. Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ Ta Fuck Wit by Wu-Tang Clan. This dynamic would play out here in Philadelphia as well with a handful of artists turning out major label releases while the majority recorded for small indie labels like IQ and Ragz To Riches, while playing local venues like Dances and The Fake Haus, and selling their own vinyl, cassettes, and CDs independently. During this period, a thriving underground scene grew beneath (really parallel to) rap’s campaign of mainstream pop cultural dominance. As new superstars emerged from cities and neighborhoods around the country, the 90s saw rap music’s profitability and global reach increase exponentially. The 1990s were a defining decade for hip-hop both as a mass cultural movement and a vast commercial enterprise. *This article was originally published on November 28, 2022.

I just never had gone all the way back to Boys in the Band, and it was my loss. As I mentioned, my history sort of began with those pieces. I remember when I was a freshman in high school, I read Torch Song Trilogy and then I got into Larry Kramer and Tony Kushner and people like that. Had you seen the play before reading the script? I actually hadn't. Because when we do, these are the repercussions." We can never repress human beings and whoever their true nature is as long as it's not criminal and hurting anybody else. My hope is that they would look at it and go, "Oh, my gosh. All I can do is try to play it as truthfully as possible and not get seduced by just making it a Golden Girls episode. I can't say what they're gonna find from the piece. And that's what we have to try to stay true to, you know? But it is going to be this dialogue once there is an audience there. But there's also a real pathos beneath that. It's so hard to be - and it's gonna be a really seductive thing once there is an audience there, because I think they're gonna be interested in coming and seeing people serve tea to each other at this dinner at this birthday party. Then for you, perhaps, a modern viewer would see this and think, Wow, look how far we've come? I would hope so. So everywhere they turned, they were being met with "Who you are is wrong and unacceptable." And then so those arrows start to go inward towards themselves and then be projected out to their closest relationships. There were real stakes to these situations for them in their lives. There was really this law where men who were gathered together had to have at least one woman with them and they had to be dancing three feet apart. And when they couldn't go out in public and even be seen dancing together. When their analyst was telling them that they had a psychological condition that was tantamount to bestiality - comparable to bestiality, the way we think of that now. This is how people were behaving with each other when society was telling them that who they were was fundamentally wrong. So I don't know that I look at it as something of "Oh, what hasn't changed?" To me, it really is a period piece. It's just been so progressive in so many ways. I think so much has changed exponentially, especially in the past five years. What do you think is still true about gay relationships that hasn't changed since then? Oh, I don't know. I also, just in my experience - I'm 40 now - but in my experience, coming of age as a gay man, I've definitely seen echoes and a resonance of these relationships and how these people were dealing with each other and themselves in my interactions with people. That time period was really interesting to me, and the more research I did about that time period the more I understood why these men were behaving the way they were. Including a lot of the actors of that show. We lost a lot of that generation to the AIDS epidemic. It was either hidden in the shadows or in apartments like where this birthday party is taking place. And it's actually really hard to do in-depth research on it because so much of it is lost. I was so unaware of pre-Stonewall life and all that that entailed. So much of my understanding of our culture started with ACT UP and Larry Kramer and then Angels in America. I get it." And I am interested in specific parts of our history. What's this all about? And then I read the second act, and I said, "Oh, OK. When they first reached out to me about it, and I read the first act, I thought, Oof. Why is Boys in the Band something that you wanted to be a part of? You know, it's interesting. But yeah, this is really my first Broadway show. I've been cast in a few, but I always had to leave to do other jobs or for some sundry reason that I shouldn't have left - and never under dramatic circumstances or anything, only because I needed a paycheck. The Advocate: This is your first Broadway show, right? Matt Bomer: Yeah. Bomer also notes how learning about the original cast gave him new appreciation for his own career as an out actor.Īnd don't miss The Advocate's full cover story with the play's entire ensemble cast of out actors - Bomer, Zachary Quinto, Jim Parsons, Andrew Rannells, Charlie Carver, Michael Benjamin Washington, Tuc Watkins, Robin de Jesús, and Brian Hutchison. In the following Q&A, Bomer discusses the role and the lessons that can be learned from Boys, including perspective on how far LGBT people have advanced in the past few decades, plus a stubborn mean streak that exists among certain queer men. While the current iPhone 15 series tops out at USB 3 support, there’s always hope for a future model, perhaps an iPhone Ultra of some kind, to be outfitted with a faster Thunderbolt 5 support. There’s a lot of data being transferred at 4K resolution when you think about it, but it only becomes more complex with 8K resolution - so Thunderbolt 5 is better suited for this. If you think 10 gigabits per second is fast, it’s slow in comparison to Thunderbolt 5’s mind blowing 120 gigabits per second speed.įor example, the current Thunderbolt 4 standard supports two 4K monitors for video, but Thunderbolt 5 unlocks the potential for multiple 8K monitors. Intel announced this new standard recently and it’s the next iteration of the USB-C interface. Don’t get us wrong, USB 3 is incredibly fast at 10 gigabits per second, but it pales in comparison to what Thunderbolt 5 will offer down the road. What’s next for USB-C?Īs you can see, both USB 2 and USB 3 standards have been around for a long time, which makes anyone wonder why Apple didn’t opt to go with something faster. These are claims made by Apple, but we'll put them to the test during our review process to find out if they're accurate. The iPhone 15 and 15 Pro take 30 minutes to get to a 50% charge using a 20W power adapter, while the larger iPhone 15 Plus and 15 Pro Max take 35 minutes to get to 50%. All four models, the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max have the same charging speeds as their predecessors. What’s odd is that there’s no improvement whatsoever to wired charging on any iPhone 15 model - including the Pro models, which have the faster USB 3 transfer speeds. Wired charging continues to be the fastest option to recharge the iPhone 15 series, and with USB-C in tow, it’s a strange affair between the two sets of iPhones. Transfer speeds are important, but equally so are USB-C charging speeds. What are the USB-C charging speeds for the iPhone 15? Media in particular, such as photos and videos, will inherently get a boost because the faster transfer speed of USB 3 allows the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max to send 48-megapixel ProRAW images and 4K 60fps video from the devices to a Mac significantly faster than on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. Apple says that data transfer with USB-C on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will offer transfer speeds up to 10 gigabits per second - making it much more ideal for professionals that need to transfer large files. The most notable benefit for USB-C on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is USB 3 support, which is twenty times faster than USB 2. At the same time, users could leverage the USB-C ports in the iPhone 15 series to charge the AirPods and Apple Watch. Secondly, laptops and Android phones have long adopted USB-C, but another inherent benefit is that people would only need to bring one charging cable along with them. While longtime iPhone users may be annoyed by this, especially if they spent a lot of money over the years on Lightning accessories, this switch is actually good for many reasons.įor starters, USB-C has become the definitive connection for many of today’s gadgets. However Apple has until the end of 2024 to comply with the new smartphone rules. The deadline for adopting USB-C differs depending on the device, with laptops being given until 2026 to comply. The idea here is to cut down on e-waste, ensuring people can continue to use their old chargers long after they switch to a new device. Late last year, the EU passed legislation enforcing a common charging port on a bunch of electronic devices - including phones, tablets and cameras.
UBS and Goldman Sachs made so much money on fees it's almost hilarious. People are happy to blow smoke up Jamie's ass because he's rich and they can make money out of him. The endless brown-nosing and fawning got a bit nauseating at times. The author doesn't seem to quite grasp that. The few that worked were big wins that covered up the losses, like monopolies with etc. So many investments failed, it's uncanny. Perhaps he should have just parked the money in various low-cost index funds and would have made much more with less stress. He had nervous breakdowns about losing the inherited wealth. But James have never built a business from scratch, maybe that's the key to his angst. At least he acknowledges that he inherited his $3 billion, but people keep treating him like he's some special genius. Jamie/James seemed to enter relationships based on transactions and what he can get. So the tell all is most things except Miranda Kerr (like Jodhi, Miranda is also from Gunnedah) which James refuses to talk about because she was friends with Jodhi before and I guess Jodhi was either hurt or furious about it. So Jodhi Meares was Jodie but changed her name due to numerology. Spoilt brat has mental breakdown and tells (nearly) all to an Aussie journo. 'Kitney manages to tread the fine line between documenting the bizarre spectacle that is Packer's life, and eliciting sympathy for this man of extraordinary wealth.' The Sydney Morning Herald/The Age 'Engrossing, highly readable' The Sydney Morning Herald/The Age 'a journalistic classic' - John Lehmann, editor of The Australian 'a revealing portrait of a complex man' - Australian Financial Review Yet how sometimes trusting the wrong people and his own rash actions cost him money, friendships, his health and business reputation on the global stage - and how he is now working on getting it all back.PRAISE FOR THE PRICE OF Of how his wealth, charm and intellect took him to such exciting places. In his biography The Price of Fortune, one of the nation's richest and most psychoanalysed men opens up in an attempt to make sense of his rollercoaster life and to tell the human story of being James Douglas Packer. Never before has a member of the Packer family co-operated with a writer to tell their story. With these words, Packer delves for the first time into the story behind his stunning public revelation in mid-March 2018 of his battle with mental health issues, which forced him to resign from the board of the Crown Casino company he owns and loves. "I was like Icarus," the billionaire tells his biographer, journalist Damon Kitney, of the heady days of 2016 when he broke up with pop star Mariah Carey, abandoned living in Hollywood and Israel, left the global casino stage, and divided the family fortune in a bitter separation from his sister. James Packer turns to Greek mythology in an attempt to explain the most exciting yet tumultuous period of his 50 years on earth. Lamps used for lighting are commonly labelled with their light output in lumens in many jurisdictions, this is required by law.Ī 23 W spiral compact fluorescent lamp emits about 1,400–1,600 lm. It consumes about one sixth the energy of an incandescent light bulb producing the same light. See also: LED lamp and Incandescent light bulb An LED lamp capable of producing 470 lumens. So a lumen represents at least 1/683 watts of visible light power, depending on the spectral distribution. Mathematically, 1 lx = 1 lm/m 2.Ī source radiating a power of one watt of light in the color for which the eye is most efficient (a wavelength of 555 nm, in the green region of the optical spectrum) has luminous flux of 683 lumens. The same 1,000 lumens, spread out over ten square metres, produces a dimmer illuminance of only 100 lux. A flux of 1,000 lumens, concentrated into an area of one square metre, lights up that square metre with an illuminance of 1,000 lux. The difference between the units lumen and lux is that the lux takes into account the area over which the luminous flux is spread. The number of candelas or lumens from a source also depends on its spectrum, via the nominal response of the human eye as represented in the luminosity function. The lumen can be thought of casually as a measure of the total amount of visible light in some defined beam or angle, or emitted from some source. The luminous intensity would still be one candela in those directions that are not obscured. If the source were partly covered by an ideal absorbing hemisphere, that system would radiate half as much luminous flux-only 2π lumens. If a light source emits one candela of luminous intensity uniformly across a solid angle of one steradian, the total luminous flux emitted into that angle is one lumen (1 cd♱ sr = 1 lm).Īlternatively, an isotropic one-candela light-source emits a total luminous flux of exactly 4π lumens. The lumen is defined in relation to the candela asĪ full sphere has a solid angle of 4π steradians, so a light source that uniformly radiates one candela in all directions has a total luminous flux ofġ cd × 4π sr = 4π cd⋅sr ≈ 12.57 lm. Luminous flux differs from power ( radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model (a " luminosity function") of the human eye's sensitivity to various wavelengths, this weighting is standardized by the CIE and ISO. The lumen (symbol: lm) is the unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source per unit of time, in the International System of Units (SI). For other uses, see Lumen (disambiguation). The company recently celebrated a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the airport with members of the Chamblee Chamber of Commerce and Uplinger said working with city of Chamblee officials and DeKalb Peachtree airport officials has been a positive experience. “There is also free parking, no baggage fees and wine, fruits and vegetables, cocktails, juice, soda and more so that our passengers arrive rested and stress free.” We do the TSA pre-check before your arrival, there’s check in at our counter and we take your bags up to the plane,” she said.
