Gerard has been linked with A Star celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Lindsey LohanĪfter the two co-starred in 2009’s The Bounty Hunter, rumours of a connection between Jennifer Aniston and Gerard began to circulate. The pair was “handling the separation with maturity,” the insider added. According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, Butler’s unwillingness to settle down and commit to Morgan was the cause of the separation. The pair reconciled but apparently broke up permanently in August 2020. It’s about time for me to have one or two children. I want to be in a relationship in five years,” he told the magazine. He disclosed to People in October 2017 that he was unmarried and intended to establish a family in five years. Before divorcing, the pair dated for two years.

![]() Am I letting matters that are out of my control stress me out?.Am I putting enough effort into my relationships?.Am I thinking negative thoughts before I fall asleep?.Am I waking up in the morning ready to take on the day?.These 10 questions are great ways to jumpstart self-reflection (Woronko, n.d.): Answering them can take you from feeling like you don’t understand yourself to knowing yourself like the back of your hand. Read through the following three lists to get some ideas for introspective questions. Some of these can be asked, answered, and addressed every day, while others may best be saved for occasional self-reflection. There are nearly endless questions, prompts, and ideas you can use to take a self-reflection break. With this important point in mind, let’s move on to the questions, exercises, and worksheets that you can use to work on your own self-reflection.ħ0 Self-Reflective Questions to Ask Yourself “Why” questions can highlight our limitations and stir up negative emotions, while “what” questions help keep us curious and positive about the future (Eurich, 2017). To help stay on the right path with your self-reflection, consider asking more “what” questions than “why” questions. We are surprisingly good at coming up with rational explanations for the irrational behaviors we engage in (Dahl, 2017). In addition, it is all too easy for us to fool ourselves into thinking we have found some deep insight that may or may not be accurate. In fact, those who take self-reflection too far can end up feeling more stressed, depressed, and anxious than ever (Eurich, 2017). When your focus on introspection has morphed from a dedication to an obsession, you have taken it too far. Reflecting on ourselves and our environments is a healthy and adaptive practice, but it should be undertaken with some care-there is, in fact, a wrong way to do it. If you don’t make the time and effort to refocus your mind on the positive through introspection, you won’t give yourself the opportunity to grow and develop.Įnhancing our ability to understand ourselves and our motivations and to learn more about our own values helps us take the power away from the distractions of our modern, fast-paced lives and instead refocus on fulfillment (Wood, 2013). Researchers have shown that we think more than 50,000 thoughts per day, of which more than half are negative and more than 90% are just repeats from the day before (Wood, 2013). ![]() Wundt’s work eventually led to the current work on perceptual processes and the establishment of the field of cognitive psychology. Wundt focused on three areas of mental functioning: thoughts, images, and feelings. ![]() The original idea of introspection was developed by Wilhelm Wundt in the late 1800s (McLeod, 2008). The formal experimental technique is a more objective and standardized version of this, in which people train themselves to carefully analyze the contents of their own thoughts in a way that’s as unbiased as possible. The process can be focused on either one’s current mental experience or mental experiences from the very recent past. The informal reflection process can be defined as examining one’s own internal thoughts and feelings and reflecting on what they mean. Still, both processes can be undertaken by anyone with curiosity and determination (Cherry, 2016). Introspection can be practiced both as an informal reflection process and a formal experimental approach, and the two have different definitions.

This led to huge publications of works containing robots, monsters, tentacles…etc. In 1986, Toshio Maeda “The god of tentacle hentai” sought to get past censorship on sexual intercourse with the use of monsters and tentacles. ![]() But as time goes on so as the interpretation of these 2 laws but the most recent one is at least putting a digital mosaic over genitalia. However, because of the Japanese constitution (Article 21) that allows free speech and press freedom it kinda contradicts the criminal code. Male and female sexual intercourse and pubic hair are especially considered obscene (this is why most titles are made with less physical details). Let’s start with Chapter XXII, Article 175 of the criminal code of Japan that forbids the publication of obscene materials. This is because in order to gain profit or market your works you must get through the vague censorship laws of Japan. In all categories we have many options for hentai videos for you to enjoy.

Soon, Bliss secretly tries out and joins the Hurl Scouts. ![]() “Who are these women and how can I be them?” she conveys, all with one look. Compared to the rigidity of the beauty pageant world, these women are wild, gliding across the screen with a confidence that comes from knowing exactly who they are. While shopping in Austin with her mother, three roller derby girls skate through the middle of the store - and in the centre of the frame - towards Bliss. Feeling out of place in this world, roller derby comes into her life like a revelation. She works at the gaudy, soul-crushing fast food restaurant Oink Joint with her best friend, Pash (Alia Shawkat), and reluctantly participates in beauty pageants to appease her former beauty queen mother (Marcia Gay Harden). They meet their (soul) mates in alternative subcultures: Bliss finds her idols in the older women of a Texan roller derby Camille locates them in a group of New York girls sharing her passion for skateboarding. When we first meet Bliss and Camille, both girls are searching for a new lease on life, a place free of their mothers’ ideals. When their protagonists, Whip It’s Bliss (Elliot Page) and Skate Kitchen’s Camille (Rachelle Vinberg) find their respective teams, they also find themselves. Within Whip It’s world of all-girl roller derby and the real-life female skateboarders of Skate Kitchen, girls are shown as cool, tough, and skilled at skating. Drew Barrymore’s Whip It (2009) and Crystal Moselle’s recent Skate Kitchen (2018) fill this on-screen gap by bringing girls to the front: here, at last, are girls who skate that you can relate to, and connect with. There are few films out there to showcase girls on wheels girl skaters exist but are rarely seen on screen (not since the brief flash of ’70s rollergirl exploitation flicks like Kansas City Bomber (1972), at least). 1 This mobility works well for coming-of-age stories, as most skateboarding narratives revolve around finding a group of friends and self-discovery–of a new skill, a hobby, of a way to work through emotions. Much like cars, skateboarding through the years has become signified as a masculine pastime the most famous skateboarders are male. Jonah Hill’s recent feature debut Mid90s joins Thrashin’ (1986), Kids (1995), and Lords of Dogtown (2005), to name just a few, in the pantheon of skateboarding films that focus on male adolescence. When it come to skate films, there’s no shortage of stories out there to reflect your teenage experience - if you’re a boy. It’s that recognition of a common trait or interest which makes us feel less alone: I see you, I recognise myself in you, there are others like me. Finding a piece of ourselves in someone else helps develop our identity. This is easier to do when there is someone to look to, to help forge a path. As high school comes to an end, teens are expected to make major decisions about who they are going to become, what the future will hold, what they will do with their lives. Posters and images of people we admire line bedrooms walls and fill our lock screens as examples of people we can become. Searching for idols that represent you is an integral part of the adolescent experience. This review is published in partnership with Melbourne International Film Festival’s Critics Campus program. ![]() ![]() In the first example, the speaker talks at a particular pace that can be seen as periodic gaps in the ground-truth mel-spectrogram (shown below). In both examples, the video frames provide prosody and word timing clues, visual information that is not available to the TTS model. ![]() To showcase the unique strength of VDTTS in this post, we have selected two inference examples from the VoxCeleb2 test dataset and compare the performance of VDTTS to a standard text-to-speech (TTS) model. Throughout our testing, we have determined that VDTTS cannot generate arbitrary text, thus making it less prevalent for misuse (e.g., the generation of fake content). We train VDTTS using video and text pairs from LSVSR in which the text corresponds to the exact words spoken by a person in a video. A vocoder then produces waveforms from the mel-spectrograms to generate speech as an output. Text and video encoders process the inputs and then a multisource attention mechanism connects these to a decoder that produces mel-spectrograms. The VDTTS model resembles Tacotron at its core and has four main components: (1) text and video encoders that process the inputs (2) a multi-source attention mechanism that connects encoders to a decoder (3) a spectrogram decoder that incorporates the speaker embedding (similarly to VoiceFilter), and produces mel-spectrograms (which are a form of compressed representation in the frequency domain) and (4) a frozen, pretrained neural vocoder that produces waveforms from the mel-spectrograms. Given a text and video frames of a speaker, VDTTS generates speech with prosody that matches the video signal. Despite not being explicitly trained to generate speech that is synchronized to the input video, the learned model still does so. This gives the VDTTS model enough information to generate speech that matches the video while also recovering aspects of prosody, such as timing and emotion. As opposed to standard visual speech recognition models, which focus on the mouth region, we detect and crop full faces using MediaPipe to avoid potentially excluding information pertinent to the speaker’s delivery. Given a text and the original video frames of the speaker, VDTTS is trained to generate the corresponding speech. In “ More than Words: In-the-Wild Visually-Driven Prosody for Text-to-Speech”, we present a proof-of-concept visually-driven text-to-speech model, called VDTTS, that automates the dialog replacement process. ![]() However, the dialog replacement process can be difficult and tedious because the newly recorded audio needs to be well synced with the video, requiring several edits to match the exact timing of mouth movements. In some cases dialogue is re-recorded (referred to as dialog replacement, post-sync or dubbing) in a studio in order to achieve high quality and replace original audio that might have been recorded in noisy conditions. The process of creating high quality content can include several stages from video capturing and captioning to video and audio editing. Recent years have seen a tremendous increase in the creation and serving of video content to users across the world in a variety of languages and over numerous platforms.

The Windows version of Excel supports programming through Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which is a dialect of Visual Basic. Subroutine in Excel calculates the square of named column variable x read from the spreadsheet, and writes it into the named column variable y. Microsoft allows for a number of optional command-line switches to control the manner in which Excel starts. Excel was not designed to be used as a database. In a more elaborate realization, an Excel application can automatically poll external databases and measuring instruments using an update schedule, analyze the results, make a Word report or PowerPoint slide show, and e-mail these presentations on a regular basis to a list of participants. It also has a variety of interactive features allowing user interfaces that can completely hide the spreadsheet from the user, so the spreadsheet presents itself as a so-called application, or decision support system (DSS), via a custom-designed user interface, for example, a stock analyzer, or in general, as a design tool that asks the user questions and provides answers and reports. It has a programming aspect, Visual Basic for Applications, allowing the user to employ a wide variety of numerical methods, for example, for solving differential equations of mathematical physics, and then reporting the results back to the spreadsheet. ![]() It does this by simplifying large data sets via PivotTable fields. A PivotTable is a tool for data analysis. It allows sectioning of data to view its dependencies on various factors for different perspectives (using pivot tables and the scenario manager). In addition, it can display data as line graphs, histograms and charts, and with a very limited three-dimensional graphical display.

Other automatic extensionsĬertain eligible taxpayers get more time to file without having to ask for extensions. Most people can set up a payment plan on IRS.gov to pay off their balance over time. Other options to pay, such as getting a loan or paying by credit card, may help resolve a tax debt. The IRS will work with taxpayers who cannot pay the full amount of tax they owe. The late-filing penalty is generally five percent per month and the late-payment penalty is normally 0.5 percent per month. The interest rate is currently four percent per year, compounded daily. Taxpayers who pay as much as they can by the due date, reduce the overall amount subject to penalty and interest charges. By filing either a return on time or requesting an extension by the April 18 filing deadline, they'll avoid the late-filing penalty, which can be 10 times as costly as the penalty for not paying. Taxpayers should file even if they can't pay the full amount. Payments are still due by the original deadline. The IRS reminds taxpayers that a request for an extension provides extra time to file a tax return, but not extra time to pay any taxes owed. The IRS will automatically count it as an extension. There's no need to file a separate Form 4868 extension request when making an electronic payment and indicating it's for an extension. Other fast, free and easy ways to get an extension include using IRS Direct Pay, the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System or by paying with a credit or debit card or digital wallet. To get the extension, taxpayers must estimate their tax liability on this form and should timely pay any amount due. Filing this form gives taxpayers until October 17 to file their tax return. Taxpayers can electronically request an extension on Form 4868 PDF. The fastest and easiest way to get an extension is through IRS Free File on IRS.gov. Individual tax filers, regardless of income, can use IRS Free File to electronically request an automatic tax-filing extension. They must file their extension no later than the regular due date of their return.They should estimate and pay any owed taxes by their regular deadline to help avoid possible penalties and.An extension to file their return doesn't grant them an extension to pay their taxes,.An extension allows for extra time to gather, prepare and file paperwork with the IRS however, taxpayers should be aware that: Taxpayers who need more time to complete their return can request an automatic six-month extension to file.

Cellphones are usually a fixed expense, so they’re generally easy to budget for. Budgeting for them is relatively easy since they’re typically fixed expenses.Ĭellphone costs can depend on the type of phone you have and the plan you’re on. Internet, cable and streaming services are other items you’ll want to add to your monthly budget. These types of purchases can be a great place to start when you’re trying to trim expenses.Ħ. For example, a large family will generally cost more to feed than a couple will. These costs can vary depending on a range of factors, including the size of your household. Groceries, toiletries and other essential items A smaller car can generally be more economical than a larger car, SUV or truck.ĥ. The price of gas can fluctuate, depending on the economy and the type of vehicle you drive. If you own a car that runs on gas, that’s another expense to add to your budget. You’ll also want to add other transportation-related costs to your budget such as parking expenses and tolls. If you use public transportation, you should include the costs associated with it-like bus tickets, train tickets or fares for ride-booking services. The same goes for maintenance costs such as inspections and oil changes. ![]() ![]() If you own a car, you may need to add a car payment and auto insurance to your budget. Whether you own a vehicle or use another type of transportation, you’ll want to include those costs in your budget. Taking showers, running the dishwasher, doing laundry, watering your lawn and flushing your toilet can all contribute to the cost. Water and sewer: Water is another utility that can vary in cost, depending on usage and base rates.So can keeping the thermostat set lower in cold weather and higher in hot weather-and turning off lights when they’re not in use. Using energy-efficient appliances can help to reduce electricity costs. Electricity: Electricity is another utility that many people pay on a monthly basis.Using energy-efficient products and enrolling in energy savings programs can help you manage your heating costs. Heating: However you heat your home-whether it’s with oil, gas, propane or electricity-heating prices are generally higher during colder months.The cost of utilities may vary from month to month depending on use. ![]() They can include electricity, heating, water and sewer. Utilities are another important expense related to housing. Other expenses-maintenance, for example-need to be added to your budget and paid separately. Property taxes are generally part of a mortgage payment-so you likely won’t need to add them to your budget. In addition to a mortgage or rent payment, costs may include insurance, maintenance and property taxes. Whether you own your own home or pay rent, the cost of housing is likely your biggest monthly expense. The first step is knowing which monthly bills to include in your budget, so you don’t spend more than you make.Ĭommon expenses to include in your budget include: What monthly expenses should I include in a budget?Ĭreating a budget can help you start to gain control over your finances, get out of debt and plan for the future. Since variable expenses can be based on daily spending, it can be important to pay attention to them so you don’t overspend. It can help you see what you pay over time in variable expenses and make changes as necessary.Įxamples of variable expenses include groceries, utilities, gas, dining out, clothing and personal care. That’s where budgeting can come in handy. Variable expenses change regularly, which can make them harder to track and plan for. No matter how often you pay fixed expenses, their regularity can make them easier to budget for. These types might include HOA payments, insurance payments and professional association dues. But fixed expenses can also be due quarterly or annually. Most commonly, they occur monthly-like rent, mortgage payments or car payments. Here’s more about those two types of expenses:įixed expenses don’t change. And some will vary-they’re known as variable expenses. For example, some of your payments won’t change from month to month-they’re known as fixed expenses. When organizing your expenses, you’ll want to put them in easy-to-manage categories. ![]() |
