![]() ![]() For one, many shows aimed at more general audiences still have some great queer storylines within them look to “Harlem,” for example. But that doesn’t mean that Amazon’s a dead zone for queer content. Yes, there’s some bitterness to this list, which is full of overlooked gems that haven’t gotten the chance they deserve. It was one of the best new series on the service, but there’s been no word of a second season since. In October last year, the company’s Amazon Freevee free streaming division dropped “High School”: a tender and lovely coming-of-age show inspired by the lives of gay music icons Tegan and Sara. “A League of Their Own” - a reimagining of the beloved Penny Marshall film that fearlessly tackled the queer themes that could only remain subtext in the original - made headlines earlier this year when it got renewed for an insultingly short four-episode second and final season, and its creators have criticized the company for failing to support shows aimed at women and lesbian audiences.Īt least “A League of Their Own” is getting a chance to wrap up its game other excellent queer-friendly shows like “The Wilds” or “Tampa Baes” got their runs cut without a chance of a conclusion. The problem, though, is Amazon often doesn’t give these shows the support that they deserve. Just earlier this month, the streamer dropped a phenomenal limited series retelling of David Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers,” starring Rachel Weisz as a pair of twin lesbian gynecologists. That show now has a lot of baggage (the fact that the trans woman at its center was played by a cis man, and the fact that that man - Jeffrey Tambor - was fired after sexual harassment allegations is, put mildly, the worst), but it’s hard to deny the show’s historical significance.īeyond the thorny topic of “Transparent,” Prime does have a good track record of releasing shows with LGBTQ characters and centering their narratives on queer themes in particular, many of their shows focus on queer woman, refreshingly avoiding the centering of gay men that defined queer TV for decades. On the one hand, you have to give credit where credit is due: one of the service’s very first stabs at original programming was “ Transparent,” which in turn was one of the first shows to star a trans main character. Whether you’re someone who wants to explore this gripping genre or a fan who doesn’t want to miss out on any iconic thriller titles, this list of some of the best thriller novels has your back.If one were to rank all the major streaming services by queerness, Amazon Prime Video would be a pretty tough one to pin down. ![]() Some of these books have also been adapted into mega-motion pictures. ![]() Ripley to Stephen King and Gillian Flynn’s nuanced mystery plots, the list goes on.

![]() ![]() The important factors can be grouped under 3 headings: ![]() However, there are also practical reasons why one system may be more socially acceptable than another. One intellectual problem posed by voting theory is that of devising systems that are accurate in some sense. The organizer of the poll argues that the results should not be generalized, referring to it as a "naive vote on voting rules". Note: this list is not representative of all available single-winner voting methods, and several of the experts involved later noted flaws in the way that the poll was conducted. The ranking (with number N of approvers from a maximum of 21) of the various systems was as follows. Approval voting was used to decide between 18 single-winner voting methods. In 2010, a panel of 22 experts on voting procedures were asked: "What is the best voting rule for your town to use to elect the mayor?". Systems can be by judged according to advantages or disadvantages of different ballot formats or district formats, whether single-member districts or multi-member districts.Įxpert opinions on single-winner voting methods Various electoral systems can be judged using expert opinions, pragmatic considerations and candidacy effects.Īs well, there are 4 main types of reasoning that have been used to try to determine the best voting method: This article discusses methods and results of comparing different electoral systems, both those that elect a unique candidate in a 'single-winner' election and those that elect a group of representatives in a multiwinner election. Electoral systems are the rules for conducting elections, a main component of which is the algorithm for determining the winner (or several winners) from the ballots cast. ![]() ![]() ![]() Which allows to your access services running on remote system or network via SSH network, where you don’t have directly access via port.

![]() ![]() Nautiloids typically have a siphuncle which runs through the center of the septa and camerae.Īmmonites had special ontology which distinguishes them from nautiloids and offers an explanation for the multiple near extinctions. The ammonoid suture line, where the septum meets the outer shell, has characteristic folding which creates saddles and lobes- features that distinguish it from the gently curving sutures which appear on nautiloids. The gas chambers, called camerae, were separated by septa. The siphuncle, which ran along the outer rim, connected the gas chambers of the phragmacone to the body chamber. These characteristics make species of this type the best for biostratigraphy.Īmmonites controlled their depth underwater with a thin, tubular structure called a siphuncle. These sutures are found in specimens from the Permian, Jurrassic, and Cretaceous, though they are more common to the Jurassic and Cretaceous. It is normal in the Triassic and later, the pseudoceratites have this trait in the Cretaceous.Īmmonitic sutures are indicated by saddles and lobes which are fluted, usually rounded, and highly subdivided. This suture pattern appears twice in the fossil record. The lobes have a saw-toothed appearance because of their subdivided nature. It is found on Paleozoic ammonoids and the lobes and saddles have many, undivided lobes and saddles.Ī polished ammonite from Madagascar displaying the prominent "oak leaf" shaped sutures of the genus CleonicerasĬeratitic sutures have rounded, undivided saddles. There are three major types of suture patterns are found in the Ammonoidea: Goniantitic sutures are typically evident as 8 lobes on the conch. Suture patterns and whorl character are used to identify species. The last lineages disappeared with the dinosaurs during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, 65 mya. About 8 species of Ammonites from two Families survived to the end of the Cretaceous. Their extinction and the survival of the nautiloid may be tied to different reproductive strategies. Baculites lived in the Cretaceous, while Orthoceras was already extinct in the Triassic period.Īmmonoids survived several major extinction events- though in each instance, only a few species survived to diversify before the next event. ![]() Baculites have the elaborate suture patterns famous to the ammonites. Straight shells of Orthoceras are remnants of nautiloids, not ammonoids. Modern nautiloids do not have the bony plate called an aptychus, which is believed to have closed off the opening of the shell, or to have been a structure of the jaw.Īmmonites can have straight shells which are described as orthoconic. Nautiloids are distinguished by their concave septa which point toward the living chamber and their septae are described as simple compared with ammonoids. The protoconch of Bacritida was globular and small, while the nautiloid protoconch was large. The eggs of bacritids and ammonids contained a small, embryonic shell called a protoconch. Both bacritids and ammonids produce vast quantities of eggs, while nautiloids do not. Bactrida were straight-shelled cephalopods of the Devonian (415 mya), though they appeared as early as 390 mya. Ammonites are more closely related to coleoids, which includes the living, soft bodied cephalopods like squid and the octopus.Īmmonites descend from an animal called a bacrite. Ammonoidea, Coleoidea and Nautiloidea are sub-classes of Cephalopoda. Their class Cephalopoda includes the gastropods (snails and slugs), however the cephalopods are have greater neurologic development. Some ate plankton.Īmmonites belong to the large phylum Mollusca, which includes invertebrates. Ammonites likely had a radula and beak, a crop, and ten arms to grasp prey of small fish, crustaceans, crinoids, and even small orthoceras. The last and largest of the chambers, the body chamber, was once believed to be protected by a hard aptychus- though now some scientists think this fossil remnant is part of the jaw. The septae of a nautiloid resemble a dish curving away from the body chamber. The septa of the ammonoid are convex, with the curve pushing outward to the opening, while nautiloid septa are concave with the curve pushing inward to the older parts of the shell. The beautiful patterns would have been hidden behind the protective, outer part of the shell on the living animal. The sutures are on the inside of the shell, where the septa meet the inner wall. The septae form suture patterns which have an elaborate, folded design. ![]() The phragmacone pertains to the chambers which control buoyancy and are separated by septae. Most are planispiral, though some have helical forms or no spiral at all. By Nobu TamuraĪmmonites shells are found with a variety of spiral types. ![]() ![]() Regarding this statement: "a school that only provides one degree, was founded in 2015, has a small US-side student body, which literally just gained national accreditation in 2021, founded by a random billionaire" I don't know about the outcome after graduating but I can tell you that when you don't need to figure out how to pay for it you really focus on your courses and on learning.

When disguised as the head of TG University Hospital, Wonder of U is a rather elusive figure despite holding an incredibly prestigious title. The sight of Josuke wrecking the supply notably goads Wonder of U into approaching Josuke. It also values the Locacaca 6251, noting their price tag of 200 million yen, but also highlighting their value to the world as a miracle medicine. Wonder of U declares that humans shouldn't possess anythingĪs the Stand of a Rock Human, Wonder of U asserts its dominance over humans in general, such as when it declares that "they" have no permission to possess anything, be it a pear orchard (referring to Mamezuku's father) or the new Locacaca (referring to Josuke and Mamezuku). It reveals to Mamezuku that it was the cause of his father's death, resulting in Rai hastily attacking and being struck with Josuke's bubbles. The Stand repeatedly goads its enemies into pursuing and triggering its ability, through mockery or threats. As Josuke discovers a new aspect to his Stand's bubbles, Wonder of U decides that the best course of action is to simply retreat. Much like the user, Wonder of U is fairly resourceful, as it takes care to avoid direct combat by utilizing Dododo De Dadada in the fight against Josuke and Mamezuku, and notably releases Obladi Oblada on Josuke when the timing is right. Wonder of U is perceptive, as it sees through a trap Josuke has been laying for it and quickly analyzes the threat that Josuke could pose because of a surprise injury. When it's finally wounded by Josuke's bubbles, Wonder of U is shocked that anyone could wound it. Under the threat of danger, it's surprised when Rai Mamezuku manages to get as close as a few centimeters to it. When Taoka threatens to expose the Locacaca Organization's illegal clinical trial, Akefu calmly points out how a disaster may strike the journalist before leaving. It's quite confident in its abilities, stating that nothing can approach nor hurt it. ![]() Wonder of U is a sentient Stand that is, unlike most Stands in the series, considerably expressive and holds a calm yet threatening demeanor. However, it displays the hospital director's face less often to Rai Mamezuku and Josuke Higashikata.Įven when threatened, Wonder of U remains calm ![]() Once it is revealed that Satoru Akefu and Wonder of U are the same entity, Wonder of U keeps Satoru's outfit and accessories. It also wears dress shoes and uses a cane to walk. It wears a dark-colored bowler hat and a black suit, along with a lightly colored scarf with a pattern of irregular dash-shaped slits cut into it. Its arms and legs are noticeably slimmer than the rest of its body. Its sideburns feature a similar pattern but are shaven into rectangles instead. The hair on the top of its head is much more natural, although appearing somewhat unkempt. Much like the Stand's subordinate Wu Tomoki, the hair on the sides of its head is composed of many spheres. The disguise's most notable features are a beard styled into multiple short spikes and a monocle on its right eye. The disguise has a thin furrowed face with prominent cheekbones, sunken eyes, a large nose, and thick white hair. The disguise is depicted as Satoru Akefu, an elderly man with a stocky build said to be 89 years old. To the general public, it appears in its disguise meanwhile, to those who are aware of its ability, its true face appears. Wonder of U's appearance differs depending on who sees it. The entire face is framed by two pairs of metallic sticks behind its eyes. In early appearances of it, the eyes were drawn with triangles making them appear like suns, similar to the sun motif found on Toru's outfit. Its head has a flattened ovoid shape and a face with two coin-like eyes and more circular ridges. It also has long curved blades on its wrists. Its entire body is covered with circular ridges that are evenly spaced. It has a large torso but thin, tubular arms, with several articulations on its arms and waist. Wonder of U is an artificial humanoid Stand with robotic features. ![]() |
