![]() ![]() And some brands are known for baggier or slimmer cuts. Boxer briefs designed for working out will fit tighter than those meant for daily wear. Within any category, however, there will be variations on cut, seam placement, and level of compression. Boxers are the loosest, which lots of men find comfortable but makes them more likely to bunch up under your pants. Below you’ll find their recommendations for the best options in every category based on fit, comfort, and style.Īmong the three main styles of men’s underwear, briefs provide the most support, but they can sometimes feel restrictive. To assist with that little bit of self-reflection, and to find a bunch of underwear worthy of your top drawer, we talked to stylists, fitness professionals, and other discerning folks about the underwear they love most. Since you often can’t return underwear once you’ve tried it on, it’s helpful to decide where you fall on the briefs-to-boxers continuum before you buy. While all that newness is exciting, you’ll need to know a bit about your own preferences before you stock up. And over the last decade, a host of direct-to-consumer brands have attempted to reimagine men’s underwear, creating a wealth of choice. In my experience, both as a former style writer for GQ and from years of conversations with friends, brothers, and significant others, most men feel just as strongly about the way their underwear fits as they do about how it looks. Some men feel best in underwear that lifts and supports, while others prefer more room for their bits to breathe. But those words mean different things to different people. Much like socks and other wardrobe basics, the best men’s underwear should be comfortable, durable, and flattering. ![]()

And that’s why I paid for it, because it works all by itself.” “It’s just there to enhance whatever else. “I treat my butt like a purse,” she says with a slight smile. She says she wanted a fatter a** so she dropped the money to get it! Though many people thought she got it to conform to the BBL culture, SZA ensures fans that the decision was 100% her own. While speaking with Elle Magazine, SZA explained her thought process behind getting the surgery. ![]() The singer says she loves her new booty and thinks of it as her favorite accessory! SZA has opened up about her huge backside after she let the world know last year in her album “SOS” that she got a BBL. Most notably, it appeared, SZA had shared with her fans that she had a BBL (Brazilian butt lift), something many have speculated about in the past. R&B legend SZA (real name Solána Imani Rowe), who dropped a new album, SOS, earlier in 2022, was praised across social media as listeners cottoned on to certain lyrics – which seem to see the singer share that she has had some kind of cosmetic tweaks made to her body. ![]() BBL is the trend for almost all these female celebrities and wannabe celebrities and famewhores in recent times. ![]() SZA becomes the sole owner of one of the biggest records in the history of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as her single “Kill Bill” achieves an unprecedented 21st week at the summit.Īlong the line, eagle-eyed fans sighted SZA’s old pictures and videos of her looking bony, and compared to her current physique with a rather sizable a** that she can’t stop shaking, it sparked the serious BBL rumor.

After confirming she has had plastic surgery, singer SZA in an interview has again opened up on her BBL saying “I treat my butt like a purse”. ![]() ![]() ![]() But with a lower current limit it slows the heating. Low rpm (hills) become the thing that destroys the motor when you overvolt. The effect isn't bad at high rpm, but at low rpm you get a doubling of heat. The big problems come about when people increase the voltage, but leave the current limit the same. Going from 24 volts / 30 amps to 36 volts / 20 amps (or 10 amps) should be fine. the more you increase the voltage the faster the motor spins and that causes arching across the brush / commutator interface which wears the brushes faster. Now with brushed motors there is the issue about maximum rpm too. If I have to I'll start pulling out all the charts to explain this more fully, but the short answer is that it's current that actually does most of the damage. So, worse case scenario, I should be able to at least go up a few volts over the standard 24v without changing the controller. I do have a variable power supply that is adjustable up to 50v at 3amps, so if I do not hear back from anyone, I will hook up the supply to the terminals and test to see what the upper voltage limit is that I can use to supply my system. ![]() On my controller is printed the following: DC Brushed Motor ControllerĪnyone know if this controller will handle a 36v 10ah batt?

Many people hear the words critic, critical, and criticism and pick up only negative vibes that provoke feelings that make them blush, grumble, or shout. Find out where your school’s writing lab is located and ask about the assistance they provide online and in person. Use the resources that your college provides.Ask someone you trust for feedback and constructive criticism.Set aside your writing for a few hours or even a day until you can look at it objectively. You are proud of what you wrote, but you might be too close to it to make changes. Try them over the course of this semester then keep using the ones that bring results. If one is exposed to these habits and activities regularly, they are going to want to participate in them.How do you get the best out of your revisions and editing? Here are some strategies that writers have developed to look at their first drafts from a fresh perspective. If a young person is starting to become more independent, and they see people who are being uplifted for their negativity, they are going to think that doing those same activities are going to make them popular. ![]() shows, some of the actors may drink, smoke or do some type of drug. Since one is taught this, they soon think that this is their reality, impacting their daily lives in a negative way.Īlso, another big negative effect that the media portrays is praising negative behaviors. Sadly, women are supposed to hide their intelligence from the outside world. Also, women are not supposed to be the “smarter” of the two sexes. A lot of women are viewed at as sex objects in the media, whether it’s a music video or a commercial, there is sometimes a woman that is supposed to be portrayed as sexy. If you think a certain way about something for long enough, you begin to think that it is true. Through persuasion we are influenced to think that the way we look, and act are not good enough. All from what we’ve been shown on the television and what we hear in our music.Īttitude change is also something that media and music can influence. To be a real man you can’t take anything from anyone, you have to stand tall, and be somewhat of a “jerk” to be seen in this society. Men also have to have the tough act going 24/7. A lot of young men must be tall, with muscles and a six pack to be viewed as “sexy”. This is the ways we are teaching our young women. To be beautiful you must be thin, with long hair and a pretty face. ![]() This can make a teenage girl think that there is only one way to beautiful. The way these women and supermodels look are viewed by everyone everywhere. The media has a negative impact on how a young woman looks at herself. It is well known that the media has its influence on the way young people think, especially young women. Some things that the media can have a negative influence on are beauty standards, and public behavior. If one is hearing negative things more than positive, those feelings aren’t going to be good. Music already plays a big role in people’s lives today, triggering memories and feelings whether good or bad. 5 hours engaged in some sort of media, they can start to develop that bad habit. If a student sees images of underage drinking and smoking, it can make one think that it is okay to do those things without consequences. Studies have shown that messages in the media can influence the way a child acts. This increase in technology is causing a bigger influence on our youth. Since most people in this generation have a cell phone, computer or hand-held music device, they are more prone to the influence that the music can have on the person. There is a stronger connection with today’s youth with media and technology. Children now have more access to things like cell phones and iPad, which can expose them to anything. Doing drugs and other illegal things are nothing new to the media, they are just becoming more emphasized today. This includes social media, music, video games and television. Today, the media and technology are practically everywhere. A lot of unnecessary bullying can be a result from someone seeing someone do something or hearing that it’s okay to act like that. With the negative impact can bring violence in schools. The people want to be viewed as popular, therefore they are going to do what is viewed as “cool” in the eyes of the artist. ![]() The more they are influenced by the music, the more they are going to do what they lyrics say. If one-third of today’s music has explicit content, and people listen to roughly 2-3 hours of music per day, a lot of the things that they are hearing are not good. “One in three popular songs contains explicit references to drug or alcohol use” (Parker-Pope, 2008). Music today has a negative effect on the people who listen to it. ![]() ![]() ![]() The way they keep their costs down is by not glazing their ocarinas, and not making cases for the ocarinas. ICO is very cheap, but from what I've heard, they're very nice to play. I've never had one of their ocarinas, but I plan on buying a Triple Bass C from them one day. There is also ICO (Imperial City Ocarina), they are ocarina makers from China. They run more expensive than STL, but there's a bit less of an artificial feel and more of a hand-made quality to their ocarinas. I've used Songbird Ocarina, and I personally really like them. If you're up for the challenge, you can look up YouTube videos to see if it plays well enough for your standards. And it so happens that STL has a plastic triple ocarina for around 65 dollars that comes in many different colors. I haven't used STL ocarina, but they are a reputable brand where you can find affordable doubles. I like them when I need them, but I just don't enjoy them like singles. Also, keep in mind that I'm not an active multi-chamber player. I can make other suggestions, but I think this is a good start. I don't have a double from them (I have a triple), but generally they just feel slightly chonkier. The only good plastic triple I've found has gotten so expensive that an ICO might be a better option now.įor ICO, their prices are affordable but they instruments seem heavier to me. STL's plastic triple isn't NEARLY as good as their double. Both the Songbird and Zelda ceramic doubles are ok, but kinda meh. The STL plastic double for $40 is a good deal and if you can find one, go for it if you don't want to spend a lot of money. For STL, I prefer the purple clay double over any of their other offerings (and over the Focalink doubles). You may be able to get one cheaper on the Focalink website too, but watch the shipping charges. With Songbird, I suggest sticking with the Focalink doubles. Also, I'm not sure if they are actively offered so you'll have to contact him. Hind's transverse doubles require softer breath than the Night by Noble and will cost a good bit more than others. I haven't tried any of his newer ones, but completely trust Spencer's sensibilities and integrity. Spencer is going to most likely require a wait, as his ocarinas are in high demand and he had a production setback (but has recovered) a few months ago. ![]() If you're willing to order internationally, then the options open up a good bit. ![]() If you're in the US, then you've got Spencer, Hind, Songbird, STL, and Imperial City Ocarinas - if you don't want to order internationally. I mostly play my 11 hole Oberon AC, so take all this with a grain of salt if you need advice from someone that is heavily into multis. The truth is, I don't play multis much anymore. It could be why I go for my TNG purple clay when I go for a multi. I do wish there was a matte finish version. Takashi would be my suggestion if you want a nice round pure tone. ![]() ![]() ![]() Available at a lower price from other sellers that may not offer free Prime shipping.

Ocean City officials knew that they needed to act for safety, public health, and tourism, but they didn’t place a bet on weapons or harmful chemical pest control methods. It got my hair and everything as it was pulling away with my sandwich,” laughs Charlene, recounting a story from a few years ago. “I was eating a sandwich, and I turned my head to talk to someone, and it came down just like that. That situation was terrible,” says Kazmarck.Ĭharlene and Bruce Twiggs, who have lived on the island full time for more than 30 years, also watched as the gulls’ aggression transformed from a nonissue into something more serious. Then you’re pulling a 15-hour day and you want to go home, but instead you’re trying to get a seagull out of the building. ![]() “We really couldn’t get them out until the mall was closed. It created a hazard for shoppers as the birds frantically flapped their wings and zoomed around the store. ![]() He remembers frightened and confused gulls darting into the store and then desperately trying to escape. Kazmarck owns the Surf Mall, one of the larger businesses on the boardwalk, which sells an assortment of souvenirs and beach gear. It became a very serious scenic safety risk for a lot of the families on the boardwalk, and they wouldn’t even see it coming,” says Wes Kazmarck, a lifelong Ocean City resident and the president of the Boardwalk Merchants Association. “I mean, aggressive, like borderline attacking and going for people’s food. In previous years, the city used flyers with photos like these, warning visitors not to feed the seagulls. While “America’s Greatest Family Resort” boasts 8 miles of beaches and a welcoming atmosphere, the boardwalk has become known for a more menacing presence in recent years: gulls who watch for their chance to swoop in and steal everything from Old Bay–seasoned french fries to funnel cake to entire cones of chocolate custard. Packed with candy-colored miniature golf courses, two amusement parks, one water park, and countless caloric delights, the beachside attraction sees hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Ocean City’s lifeblood is its popular boardwalk, which Karen and the other birds from the mews defend with beak and talon. “Once it’s in your blood, it’s in your blood,” he explains. To him, birds and the ancient art of falconry are sacred. Brown smiles and talks to Karen as if she were a family member. He’s been tending to her for only a few days, so the two are getting better acquainted. Just before 10 a.m., as the town’s 2.5-mile boardwalk comes to life with shorebirds and humans riding bikes, veteran falconer Bill Brown is outside the mews preparing to feed a quail to a large Harris’s hawk named Karen. This birdy hangout is not a summer home: It’s a falconry mews, where up to 18 birds of prey, or raptors, eat, rest, cool off, and get groomed. Inside in the darkness, a hawk snoozes, a hungry falcon flaps its wings, and an owl stares intensely with orange eyes.
