Tut grass11/25/2023 Erect triangular stems rise up from a network of short woody rhizomes. This sedge is ornamentally grown for its showy green bracts and not for its somewhat insignificant flowers and fruits. where it has escaped gardens and naturalized primarily in wet disturbed sites, water margins, ditches and swampy areas from Florida along the Gulf Coast to Texas plus Arizona, California and Hawaii. It has been introduced in many tropical, sub-tropical and warm temperate areas around the globe over time including the southern U.S. It is probably native to boggy areas and lake/stream margins in Madagascar (Malagasy Republic), but early on naturalized throughout eastern Africa. Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council has designated this plant as Category II: An invasive exotic that has not yet altered plant communities to the extent it would qualify as Category I.Ĭyperus involucrata, commonly called umbrella plant or umbrella sedge, is a rhizomatous, evergreen, densely-clumping, tender perennial sedge that typically grows to 3-6’ tall in frost free areas, but to 2-3’ tall where not winter hardy and grown as an annual. Planting in containers helps prevent some unwanted spread. It can spread aggressively by self-seeding and rhizomes. In warm frost-free climates, this sedge is weedy bordering on invasive. Rather than overwinter indoors, plants may be grown as if they were annuals by letting them die each winter and replacing them each spring. When overwintering, set the container in a saucer filled with water, and place the container and saucer near a bright sunny window. Another option is to divide plants and pot up the divisions for overwintering indoors. Containers can be brought indoors if not too large. Louis area, these plants are tender perennials that must be brought indoors in fall before first frost for overwintering in a sunroom or greenhouse. Plants may be grown in containers at the margins of water gardens, pools or ponds. Plants in Zones 8-9 will die back with frost, but may survive the winter and put out new foliage in spring if the roots remain unfrozen. Plants are tender perennials that are intolerant of frost. This is an amphibious sedge which grows well in shallow standing water. Plants tend to be more compact in sun and more open, larger-leaved and taller in shade. The stems of this papyrus were and are still used to make paper in the Middle East.Winter hardy to USDA Zones 9-12 where is easily grown in wet, boggy soils in full sun to full shade. Soon you will have a new plant to share or add to your indoor garden.Ī bit more information: There are over 500 related species and most of the Papyrus ( Cyperus) plants are native to marshes, ponds and streams. Roots and new shoots will form over the next few weeks. The leafy stem tip will be in the water or potting mix while the leafless stem points upward toward the ceiling. Cut off the top few inches of the stem and place it upside down in a glass of water or well drained potting mix. Start new plants from the tip of the stem. Keep the soil moist or set the pot in a shallow dish filled with water. Grow papyrus indoors in a bright location and a container filled with a quality potting mix. Heights vary from 18 inches to 4 feet or more. The Papyrus has long leafless stems topped by a cluster of fine leafy bracts that resemble an umbrella. The Papyrus ( Cyperus) is a versatile plant that is easy to grow and fun to propagate. It grows in water or soil, indoors or out.

Ace of spades card game 311/24/2023 A player with a natural is usually paid 3:2 on his bet. In European blackjack, the hole card is not actually dealt until the players all play their hands.) The cards are dealt face up from a shoe, or face down if it is a pitch game.Ī two-card hand of 21 (an ace plus a ten-value card) is called a "blackjack" or a "natural", and is an automatic winner. (The face-down card is known as the "hole card". One of the dealer's two cards is face-up so all the players can see it, and the other is face down. The dealer gives two cards to each player, including himself. After initial bets are placed, the dealer deals the cards, either from one or two hand-held decks of cards, known as a "pitch" game, or more commonly from a shoe containing four or more decks. The Barbary Coast has $3 minimums on weekdays. is $5 although these games can be difficult to find on the Strip in Las Vegas, especially on weekends. The minimum bet is printed on a sign on the table and varies from casino to casino, and even table to table. Each player has an independent game with the dealer, so it is possible for the dealer to lose to one player, but still beat the other players in the same round. If both the player and the dealer have the same point value, it is called a "push", and neither player nor dealer wins the hand. Note that if the player busts he loses, even if the dealer also busts (therefore Blackjack favors the dealer). The goal of each player is to beat the dealer by having the higher, unbusted hand. A hand in which an ace's value is counted as 11 is called a soft hand, because it cannot be busted if the player draws another card. An ace's value is 11 unless this would cause the player to bust, in which case it is worth 1. Cards 2 through 10 are worth their face value, and face cards (jack, queen, king) are also worth 10. The hand with the highest total wins as long as it doesn't exceed 21 a hand with a higher total than 21 is said to bust. As the game is currently played, a "blackjack" may not necessarily contain a jack at all.īlackjack hands are scored by their point total. This hand was called a "blackjack" and the name stuck to the game even though the bonus payout was soon abolished. One such bonus was a 10-to-1 payout if the player's hand consisted of the ace of spades and a black Jack (either the Jack of clubs or the Jack of spades). When blackjack was first introduced in the United States it was not very popular, so gambling houses tried offering various bonus payouts to get the players to the tables. Blackjack's precursor was vingt-et-un ("twenty-one"), which originated in French casinos around 1700, and did not offer the 3:2 bonus for a two-card 21. Much of blackjack's popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting (keeping track of which cards have been played since the last shuffle). Blackjack! The face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) and the ten count as 10 points, and the Ace counts as 1 or 11.īlackjack, also known as twenty-one or Pontoon, is one of the most popular casino card games in the world.

New yorkbased ttv capital11/24/2023 Gardiner Garrard, TTV Capital’s co-founder and managing partner, added that “ unique background in fintech and venture will be a tremendous asset to our firm as we continue our mission to help entrepreneurs build successful fintech businesses and drive strong returns for our investors.” And I think that’s super important in our line of business where our founders are our customers.” Kapur said he had been connected to TTV for some time but was drawn to the team because “they are incredibly founder-friendly, entrepreneur centric, always putting the portfolio companies first and the founders first. He spent the last four years at San Francisco-based B Capital Group, whose FinTech investments include San Francisco-based Plastiq and startups across Indonesia, Singapore, and India. While working on the startup’s Series B fundraise, Kapur said he was “intrigued about what were doing on the other side of the table and how are they making these decisions.” Kapur credits his time at Adaptive Payments for expanding his interest in the venture capital space. That experience led Kapur internationally, both with a microfinancing lending company in Tanzania and ultimately with a business development role at Google, where he traveled frequently while growing the consumer-facing payments and commerce part of the business. And I wanted to figure out a way to be a little bit closer to that and be a part of it…and have direct experience at the startup,” Kapur told Hypepotamus. “Looking forward over the next 10 years, I just saw a ton of opportunities for technology to really have a direct impact on financial services. After earning his undergraduate degree at Emory University, he gained exposure to Atlanta’s growing FinTech scene while working at Deloitte and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey. Relocating from his current base in San Francisco, the new role at TTV is a homecoming of sorts for Kapur. Neil Kapur brings both an operating and FinTech investing background to the Atlanta-based firm. TTV Capital has tapped a new partner as the firm grows its investments in the FinTech space.

Camino christmas11/24/2023 After a brief flurry of shots the sheriff calls for a ceasefire. The film never quite rises above the standards, the setting and themes only perfunctorily layered to give excuse for the ironical Christmas tunes playing in the background, but there are many good moments here, many that make this a solid recommendation and well worth a look.The movie opens as gunfire erupts at Vicente's Liquor Mart in El Camino, Nevada. Still, there is great work here from Allen, who is definitely off his usual tracks, creating a genuinely impactful character with a few twists, and D’Onofrio is truly great. She is so peripheral, she barely has anything to do and is sort of wasted, not having any real connection to the main story. Lost in all this though is Jessica Alba playing a pregnant on-the-scene television news reporter. The good thing is, despite the short running time, we get kinda invested in these characters, especially Eric, who is at the center of the storm per se, trying to close a loose end in his family. Larry is a Vietnam War vet, haunted by a disturbing past, who also drowns his sorrows in alcohol while Kate struggles to understand why her little boy won’t speak.Īll of this is pretty standard setup, and admittedly, there isn’t much in the way of knowing where it’s going, the ending jarringly violent but entirely expected. Hooker is a long time veteran of the force, who takes to drinking on the job, slowly losing his capacity for the work, as he wallows in the aimlessness of his duties. It abandons the well-earned laughs in the second half, going for heartstrings and greater conflicts, though to be sure, the laughs are not traditional but rather commentary on the crossed paths of troubled people. Like many in this genre, the dark comedy at the start eventually gives way to intense drama and lots of violence. When Billy doesn’t take to Carl’s abuse of Eric, he secretly lets him go, but as circumstances are such as they are, Hooker corners Eric in a dusty local convenient store, where Larry is already there with owner Vicente ( Emilio Rivera), his employee, Kate ( Michelle Mylett), and her mute son. With his partner Billy Calhoun ( Dax Shepherd), they frame him for a bogus drug possession, pot left in his car by a boozy conman named Larry ( Tim Allen). The town has a local sheriff’s deputy, Carl Hooker ( Vincent D’Onofrio), who’s not quite made of righteous stuff, seeing Eric, in his vintage 1970 convertible and scruffy hair as trouble, even though he’s entirely not. He’s an honest young man sort of down on his luck though it’s about to get worse. Far from a skip though, this is a pretty entertaining bit of comedy and drama that is a surprisingly deep and very well-acted distraction.Įric Roth ( Luke Grimes) comes to the small titular town of El Camino looking for his long lost father, a man he’s never met. It’s really got nothing to do with the holiday, other than the time of year it’s set, more about being the wrong place at the wrong time. Talbert‘s latest El Camino Christmas, a Netflix original that sort of popped on the radar simply because it’s got the timing – and name – all locked up in the search boxes for the season. You’ve probably not even heard of David E. El Camino Christmas is a 2017 comedy about a young man who seeks out a father he has never met and, through no fault of his own, ends up barricaded in a liquor store with five other people on Christmas Eve.

Charles bronson house of wax11/24/2023 But he is to spend three months off in Egypt, so Matthew, needing money right away, spontaneously sets ablaze Jarrod's life's work in an effort to collect $25,0000 in insurance money. Blown away by Jarrod's lifelike creations, respected art critic Sidney Wallace (Paul Cavanagh) considers buying out Matthew. Jarrod's museum attracts some business, but not as much as his macabre competitors and not enough to satisfy his partner Matthew Burke (Roy Roberts), who is looking to sell his share. It simply found great success that led the format to spread and subsequent 3D productions to be judged against it.Ī remake of the 1933 film Mystery of the Wax Museum, House tells the story of "Professor" Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price), a gifted turn-of-the-20th century New York City wax figure sculptor who shuns sensationalism in favor of historical exhibits. Like Avatar, House was not the first to introduce new technology. The Avatar of that era was the 1953 horror film House of Wax, which on Tuesday hits high definition in a hybrid 3D/2D Blu-ray Disc. This incarnation of the format has undoubtedly eclipsed the brief previous heyday of the mid-1950s. Whether or not the novelty starts to wear off in the rest of the world as it has for much of North America, there's no denying 3D's resurgence and ongoing ubiquity. The future of 3D might be in danger if foreign audiences, an increasingly substantial portion of this global business, didn't continue to support it enthusiastically and disproportionately. The biggest 3D attraction stateside this year was Pacific Rim, which came close to a 50/50 split, a far cry from the 70-80% 3D shares of Tron: Legacy and Alice in Wonderland in 2010. Around one-quarter of early tickets for the blockbuster Despicable Me 2 carried the 3D premium. Domestically, fewer than one-third of opening weekend moviegoers opted to see the 3D versions of the summer hits The Great Gatsby, World War Z, and Monsters University. Studios and theaters have invested too much for 3D cinema to disappear anytime soon.Īt the same time, the grounded, historical perspective pinning 3D as a cyclical fad was accurate too. Filmmakers as respected as Martin Scorsese, Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott, and Sam Raimi have embraced the format. It's almost impossible to make a big-budget movie without a 3D version. Today, 3D television programming, Blu-ray 3D, 3D gaming and software is all around us. Digital 3D has caught on far more extensively than all of the dimensional technology it succeeded. Many others felt that the popularity of this format would prove short-lived as all past incarnations of 3D had.įour years later, both hypotheses seem to have panned out in their own way. There were those like writer/director James Cameron who were convinced that this new form of 3D would revolutionize cinema to the extent that color and synchronized sound had. When Avatar became the top-grossing film of all time with a significant portion of its earnings coming from 3D exhibitions, there were two schools of thought on what its success would mean for the industry. |
