![]() But between every game we have come back with a new version of what Alan Wake 2 could be, and we've had some discussions and here we are now."Īlan Wake 2 game director Kyle Rowley added that the idea for Control came originally from a pitch for an Alan Wake sequel. He concluded, "That then evolved into Quantum Break. Lake continued, "and as a detail in that pitch, I had the idea there would be live-action mini-episodes in-between the episodes of the game, and during that pitch at Microsoft, they were like, 'We are interested right now about this, but not really interested about going on with Alan Wake.'" Well, single-player story obviously is huge these days, but at the time, it felt like nobody was really interested." "It was at the time where clearly there was feeling that linear single player games are a thing of the past. Lake said, "so, we were creating a concept of Alan Wake 2, we were showing it to Microsoft-but other publishers as well at the time-and it was maybe slightly awkward timing as, you know, the industry shifts and changes along the way." In an interview with Eurogamer at Summer Game Fest, Remedy creative director Sam Lake discussed the pitching process for Alan Wake 2. This pitch evolved into Quantum Break, which Microsoft published.

![]() ![]() Quirky, irreverent and hilarious, the series’ popularity caught the attention of Viceland, who picked it up it now runs weekly as The Trixie & Katya Show. It ran for 68 episodes, some of which gained over a million views on YouTube. A year later, she teamed up with fellow Drag Race contestant Katya to start a web series called UNHhhh. She was already beloved by many Drag Race fans going into All Stars, thanks to her trademark over-the-top makeup (think Malibu mom with an overblown contour, then multiply that by a thousand) and the dry sense of humor she deployed on the seventh season of Drag Race, where she placed sixth. Which is how someone like Mattel (known out of drag as Brian Firkus) could rise to popularity as a kitschy-comedy-queen-slash-earnest-folk singer. ![]() Its contestants have gone on to help form and expand on that future, earning TV roles, stand-up tours and runway modeling gigs both in and out of drag. As the show has grown in popularity, it’s continually looked towards the future of drag, featuring everyone from old-school club kids to eccentric art queens. Each week, viewers queer and straight, from blue and red and purple states, are exposed not only to these queens’ talents, but also to them: struggles with coming out, addiction, homelessness, memories of the AIDS epidemic, successes and failures in their careers, relationships and supportive families. The jump was a testament to the show’s ever-increasing popularity - nearly a million people watched its VH1 debut.ĭrag Race has both benefited from and helped foster the changing relationship between mainstream American culture and drag – and, broadly, of LGBT culture. ![]() After eight seasons and the launch of two spin-off shows (the short-lived RuPaul’s Drag U and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, in which fan-favorite competitors from previous seasons of the flagship show return for another chance at glory), Drag Race moved from LGBT-focused TV channel Logo to VH1. Mattel is heir(ess) to a new and emerging legacy in drag, spurred on in part by the career of RuPaul herself and the success of her reality competition show Drag Race. But for Trixie Mattel - comedian, musician and, as of last week, winner of the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars - country music and drag go together like high heels and false lashes. It’s not everyday you see a drag queen playing an autoharp. ![]() ![]() Due to the efforts of Piker Alpha, you can download pre-compiled copies from patchers.

It was this very deliberate scripting of a bizarre mix of Greek tragedy meets soap meets cowboy film. But there’s something when you see it cut together. We were just like, “How is this going to work?” There’s hardly any happy moments, and then everybody cries till the end of the movie. And it was sort of like, “No, I cried on Friday and setting the scene and then I’m tearing up today. As actors, I remember one night we were sitting around the fireplace negotiating who was going to tear up in the next scene. ![]() So if you can imagine how much crying there is in a two-hour movie, it’s so scary at the time.

Being as objective as possible, I want to outline the basics of milk nutrition, soy milk nutrition, and almond milk nutrition. Bariatric surgery encourages the use of “milk” before and after surgery because it is a good source of protein and usually well tolerated. It also has a lot of controversy surrounding it, depending on what you use it for. If you enjoy cow's milk but want to steer clear from hormones and antibiotics, try organic brands of cow's milk.Low fat or Skim Milk, Soy milk, or Almond… what is best? Lets explore the options so you can decide. Milk is a pretty amazing, well balanced, and almost a nutritionally complete food. If you're seeking a plant-based milk that's rich in high-quality protein like cow's milk, soy milk is a good option. But almond milk is naturally lactose-free, so likely won't cause problems if you're lactose intolerant. Cow's milk is high in protein, which is the main advantage of cow's milk over almond milk. Cow's milk is a good source of phosphorous, but almond milk is rich in vitamin E. Both are rich in calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, and B vitamins. Researchers who conducted this study report that a high dairy fat intake is actually associated with a lower obesity risk.Ĭow's milk and almond milk are both packed with essential nutrients and generally healthy for you. While some studies show that getting too much saturated fat in your diet may boost your risk for heart disease, other research indicates otherwise, according to a study published in 2013 in the Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care. ![]() But, skim milk is fat-free and low-fat milk contains very little saturated fat. Unsweetened almond milk provides less than 1 gram of carbohydrates and no sugar, but sweetened almond milk may contain up to 16 grams of added sugar per cup.Īlmond milk is rich in heart-healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats, while the fat in cow's milk is primarily saturated fat. Cow's milk contains about 12 grams of carbohydrates - mainly from a natural sugar called lactose - in each cup. Some brands of high-protein cow's milk contain up to 13 grams of protein per cup.Ĭow's milk is naturally higher in carbohydrates than almond milk, unless the almond milk is sweetened with added sugar. Even protein-fortified almond milk generally provides just 5 grams of protein. Skim, low-fat, and whole cow's milk each provide 8 grams of protein per cup, but a cup of almond milk contains just 1 gram of protein. Protein is beneficial because it boosts satiety, helps your body burn extra calories, aids in healthy weight management, and allows you to maintain lean muscle mass - even during periods of weight loss. Sweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk generally contains 90 calories in each cup.Ĭow's milk is much higher in protein than almond milk. One-percent low-fat milk contains 110 calories, two-percent milk provides 130 calories, and whole cow's milk contains 150 calories per cup. Unsweetened almond milk provides just 30 calories per cup, vs. The best choice for you depends on a variety of factors.Īlmond milk generally contains fewer calories than cow's milk, but it depends on the type of milk you buy. Many different types of cow's and almond milks are available commercially, so it's often difficult to determine which is the healthiest. Almond milk and cow's milk are both packed with nutrients, but pros and cons may exist for each. ![]() ![]() ![]() The FDA has identified counterfeit versions of the Flowflex test being sold in the US.

Henceforth, Franz Ferdinand was groomed to succeed to the throne. Karl Ludwig died of typhoid fever in 1896. This left Franz Ferdinand's father, Karl Ludwig, as first in line to the throne. His cousin Crown Prince Rudolf committed suicide at his hunting lodge in Mayerling. In 1889, Franz Ferdinand's life changed dramatically. Franz Ferdinand thus became one of the wealthiest men in Austria. In 1875, when he was eleven years old, his cousin Francis V, Duke of Modena, died, naming Franz Ferdinand his heir on condition that he add the name "Este" to his own. Biography Early lifeįranz Ferdinand was born in Graz, Austria, the eldest son of Archduke Karl Ludwig of Austria (the younger brother of Franz Joseph and Maximilian) and of his second wife, Princess Maria Annunciata of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. Franz Ferdinand's assassination led to the July Crisis and precipitated Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Serbia, which in turn triggered a series of events that eventually led – four weeks after his death – to Austria-Hungary's allies and Serbia's allies declaring war on each other, starting World War I. On 28 June 1914, Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated in Sarajevo by the 19-year-old Gavrilo Princip, a member of Young Bosnia. Franz Ferdinand held significant influence over the military, and in 1913 he was appointed inspector general of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces. ![]() His courtship of Sophie Chotek, a lady-in-waiting, caused conflict within the imperial household, and their morganatic marriage in 1900 was only allowed after he renounced his descendants' rights to the throne.

To bring you the best EDC essentials on the market, we thought about what EDC tools we use to make our lives easier on a daily basis and which ones are most frequently recommended by DIY and outdoor experts. And while the materials and design of most EDC essentials prioritize functionality, the style on a lot of these tools leans minimalist, so you won't look like you're going straight from the office to the campsite. Many manufacturers of EDC goods are acutely aware of this and use the most durable materials and employ wear-resistant finishes to make their essentials, such as anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and brass. ![]() Something meant to be carried daily will need to be durable to withstand that frequency of use. If the EDC item you’re eyeing includes a knife, check your local and state laws to ensure that the included blade is legal to carry before you make your purchase. No matter their use, you should be able to carry any EDC item on your person without being uncomfortable the items we listed have a maximum length of 5.5 inches, ensuring they will easily fit in a pocket or bag. The whole point of EDC essentials is to make your life easier, so you don’t want any items where the cumbersome nature of carrying them ultimately outweighs the convenience they provide. Many brands make carabiner-style key rings with added features like a bottle-opener or flashlight and many pocket knives have some sort of extra tool included that fit within their casing. Take a look at where you typically carry your most-used tools and gadgets-pockets, key rings, etc.-and consider what you could add to your arsenal that would make your daily life easier. Instead, think about times where you had to borrow a tool or didn’t have quick access to a useful item you needed.
