![]() On top of that there’s a brilliant sendup of mega budget, Jerry Bruckheimer produced action barnstormer flicks that is so dead on from everything to excessive destruction of world monuments to rousing Zimmer-esque music cues to explosive mayhem-for-mayhem’s-sake. Then there’s the ruthless, no prisoners taken attitude Parker and Stone have in sardonically crucifying every aspect of American culture, media, foreign relations and jingoistic, stars n’ stripes patriotism. The choice to use creepy little bobblehead puppets is both a testament to vision and craft while also providing a baseline layer of simple hilarity just from watching these little bastards move around, hold guns, operate vehicles, shift pricelessly orchestrated facial expressions and. Anyways, Team American remains one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen from several different perspectives. ![]() Satire *should* be nihilistic by default and leave the side-taking, agenda pushing to the Oscar bait dramas. I think it flew over his head that that’s what Trey Parker and Matt Stone were aiming for this ballistic, balls out political satire and given their track record from South Park the decision to be utterly nihilistic about world issues should have come as no surprise. That surprised and made me chuckle a lot considering the fact that ol’ Rog usually had a clear head for objectivity and was never ruffled so easily by such things. At a time when the world is in crisis and the country faces an important election, the response of Parker, Stone and company is to sneer at both sides - indeed, at anyone who takes the current world situation seriously. “I wasn’t offended by the movie’s content so much as by its nihilism. Roger Ebert had this to say about Team America: World Police:

When Twin Atlantic first started in 2006 from the ashes of various other local bands, McTrusty already had big plans. I care about what people think but not in a way that stops me from doing whatever we want.” “It definitely felt carefree,’ added McTrusty “I still have all those old insecurities about ‘what if people don’t like it’ or ‘what if it gets absolutely slated’. With this one, I already knew how to make great guitar songs because of all the great producers we’ve worked with before. It took so much time and was mentally exhausting. I had to really dive into those genres, discover my own tastes, and experiment with sound. “When we started writing ‘Power’ I didn’t have a clue how any of the synths or electronic drums worked. However, their new album sees Twin Atlantic playing to their strengths, rather than trying to learn new ones. “It felt like we had a responsibility to do something different after signing a record deal and finding a fanbase.” “We’ve always put ourselves under a lot of pressure because we’ve always wanted to push things creatively,” he continued. ![]() We’re a weird band and instead of trying to fit in, we just ran in the other direction with it.” Coming from here, we’ve always felt separate from most scenes anyway. We wanted it to reflect the happiness of us coming out the other side and still being able to make music, but not disregard the darkness we’d been through to get to this point.”Ī post shared by twinatlantic about their desire for reinvention across their career, McTrusty said: “We’re just awkward Glaswegian art kids. It’s really hard to be a rock band and it’s been quite an uncool, cheesy thing for the past 15 years, but it’s what we like, so we’ve kept at it. ![]() After an arduous few years we just wanted to have fun. “It just felt really good playing those songs again,” said McTrusty, with the band taking that energy into the studio. Writing for the new record began last August, following on from the 10-year anniversary tour for ‘Free’. Sam McTrusty of Twin Atlantic performs at the second day of TRNSMT 2021. It’s basically a massive Twin Atlantic album.” “We’ve gone back to that big, bold, colourful sound. “It’s an unhinged guitar record but we’re not shying away from the fact we know how to write big pop choruses and we know how to write an emotional, acoustic song that makes sense on a big rock record,” he explained. The band are still in the middle of finishing up their new album, but according to McTrusty, “there are a thousand guitars on the record.” Still, rather than chasing trends, Twin Atlantic were “acting on impulse” for their new album, with ‘Stuck In A Car With You’ the most urgent of those new songs. They’ve been a huge part of our career, as well as my musical inspiration, so it was nice to respect that with this track,” said McTrusty. “We did two arena tours with Blink early in our career, we visited Tom DeLonge at his studio in California and supported his Angels & Airwaves band across Europe. Fall Out Boy and Paramore are bigger than ever, while Blink-182 are in the midst of a global reunion tour. Twin Atlantic’s return to emotionally-driven punk rock comes alongside a wider resurgence of the ‘00s pop-punk bands that the band grew up on. ![]() “‘Stuck In A Car With You’ is a no-nonsense, fast-paced rock song that shines a spotlight on the emotion behind it.” While 2022’s ‘ Transparency’ was a lo-fi electro-rock album and 2020’s ‘ Power’ took heavy influence from synth-pop, “with this record, we wanted to make something for the fans, and the kids who first started this band,” said McTrusty. “We’ve put our original fans through a bit of a whirlwind, because every record we’ve made almost sounds like a different band,” McTrusty told NME from his home studio in Glasgow. ![]() The first release on their own label Staple Diet, ‘Stuck In A Car With You’ is a return to the big, anthemic rock’n’roll of Twin Atlantic’s early records.

Then have students give their presentations. They are all nets of cubes except for net d and net e.Īsk students to share the strategies they used to decide whether a figure is a net for a cube.If the squares overlap, will the net form a cube? How do you know?.Student has difficulty identifying which patterns are nets for cubes. If they build each prism using a net drawn on a sheet of paper, they will be able to easily turn it to look at the faces. If cubes are available, some students may choose to use them to build the prisms. To identify which nets form cubes, some students may want to copy the patterns onto grid paper, cut them out, and fold them. Mathematical Practices 5: Use appropriate tools strategically. Some students may need to build each cube from the given nets to make a conclusion. Provide graph paper with large squares and tape to assist students in physically building the prisms. Provide physical manipulatives to support students' understanding between the net and a prism. Students who are having trouble identifying the nets of cubes may wish to copy the nets onto grid paper, cut them out, and fold them. Have students work solo to start and then move into partner work after a few minutes. Then they will sketch nets to determine the surface area of rectangular prisms. Tell students that they are going to look at different arrangements of squares and decide which arrangements are nets of cubes and which are not. ![]() My mom and I have a very special relationship. But if we learn anything from the Bible, it is that motherhood is a special calling. Maybe mothers aren’t all perfect saints and maybe they don’t all give birth to the next Messiah, but each of them are spoken about with the utmost respect in biblical text.īeing a mother is truly one of the hardest jobs one can take on. Whether you are religious or not, this is something we all should practice. Our mothers should not only feel respected, but also appreciated. In the Bible, specifically the fifth of the Ten Commandments, God tells us that we should honor our mother. She acts as a role model to all my mothers, as well as a calming spirit to those who seek maternal comfort. As the mother of Jesus, she took on this role with an immense amount of courage and grace. ![]() We hear of many remarkable mothers in scripture, but perhaps Mother Mary is the prominent of the maternal figures in the Bible. Although Mother’s Day itself is a relatively modern concept, ‘mother’s day scripture’ has lived in the Word of God since the beginning. However, most mothers do share one thing in common: an unconditional and fearless love for their children.Ĭelebrating your mother, grandmother, aunt, or any maternal figure you look to is a special opportunity to show them how much you love and appreciate them. ![]() The word “mother” means something different for everyone-of course, there’s different types of mothers and maternal figures, but we will most likely picture our own mother and the unique relationship we share with them. Such a short and simple word with so much power and meaning. A current Homestead Exemption application must also be completed for the new residence.

You may transfer the same percentage of school taxes paid to another qualified homestead in the state. How do I transfer my senior citizen or disabled person tax ceiling? ![]() It will also change if you move to a new home. For example, if you add a room or garage to your home, your tax ceiling can rise. ![]() If you significantly improve your home (other than ordinary repairs and maintenance), tax ceilings can go up. The school taxes on your home subsequently may fall below the ceiling. The ceiling is set at the amount you pay in the year that you qualify for the aged 65 or older exemption. In addition, when you turn 65, you may receive a tax ceiling for your total school taxes that is, the school taxes on you residence cannot increase as long as you own and live in that home.
