![]() It seems that the public is now willing more than ever to embrace the art of drag. Also, apart from performing on stage, the 20th and 21st century queens, use drag as a means of political liberation in a society where the LGBTQ community still has battles to be won. Rather than dressing as women, drag queens’ image represents the exaggeration of womanhood, adorned with big hair, flashy makeup, and sparkly gowns. Unlike the drag queens in the theatre shows that adapted their appearance and behaviour to make themselves as feminine as possible, the drag queens of today, feature a different look and social and political elements in their work. ![]() Since the early days of antic Greek theatres, drag has evolved and transformed itself. Prima donnas would perform singing and dancing routines with numerous changes of ravishing outfits.ĭrag race UK winner via BBC The Evolution of Drag Vaudeville’s prima donnas, on the other hand, drew inspiration from the European tradition of Shakespeare plays. Wrench players would appear on stage in blackface, comedic skits and sing and dance to entertain the viewers. Wrench players first appeared in blackface minstrel shows, racist shows that mocked African American men and women. With the development of vaudeville, (between the 1800s and 1930s), two types of drag queens appeared: wrench players and prima donnas. The theatre practice continued to the modern era, with Shakespearean time being known for its outstanding female impersonators. According to the Oxford African American Studies Center term developed as a short form of “grand rag,†an expression synonymous with the masquerade. Other sources, however, state that the term drag is more recent. ![]() Allegedly, male actors complained that the clothing “dragged” across the floor. It is believed that the term drag originated from the theatre as well. Back then women weren’t allowed to play male roles, which is why men had to disguise themselves into female characters.

![]() But once again, even with no outs when he got there, no one was able to bring him home. Pederson drew a walk, and so did Evan Longoria, setting the table for González to double to the wall, which scored Pederson. Wood’s day ended with four runs on six hits and two walks, striking out four, in five and a third innings.įormer Giants Chris Stratton entered to pitch the sixth inning, and Joc Pederson was brought in to face him, replacing Ruf. Casali followed that up with a walk of his own, before Mike Yastrzemski was brought in to replace Slater and hit a sac fly to score Belt and retake the lead for the Giants at 5-4.Īlex Wood remained in to start the sixth and got Jack Suwinski to ground out, before he was replaced by John Brebbia, who entered and quickly got two strikeouts to end the inning. Belt used his patented patient approach, ultimately getting a walk, which brought up Brandon Crawford, who was much in need of a hit and a hit he got, knocking in Estrada to tie the game. Thairo Estrada got things rolling with a single, before Brandon Belt was brought in to replace Austin Wynns as DH. Things did not go well for Crowe, but they could have gone worse.Ĭrowe was unable to get any of the first four batters he faced out. In the sixth, the Pirates pulled their starter, Jose Quintana, to bring in Wil Crowe after he struck out González. Castillo was no exception once again, hitting a home run that gave the Pirates a 4-2 lead.Īustin Slater chipped away at that in the fifth inning, hitting the second solo home run for the Giants of the day. The funny thing about the at-bats for Hayes, Chavis and Castillo is that Alex Wood had each of them in an 0-2 hole to start their at bats and wasn’t able to get any of them out. He then stole third, before Chavis was walked, bringing Castillo back up with two runners on. Hayes once again kicked things off for the Pirates, this time with a double. That one-run lead would once again disappear in the bottom of the inning. That said, it seemed touch and go at that point in the game. It’s not exactly what you want, and a better team might have made them pay for it, but thankfully they were able to do enough damage. I say it was a bit of a theme because despite having nine walks and ten hits, they managed to leave 12 runners on, and hit only 4-for-14 with runners in scoring position. Luis González walked to load the bases with one out, but as became a bit of a theme throughout the day, they were all stranded. Darin Ruf hit a line drive single to left field, allowing Casali to be waved home and make it safely without a play (gritting his teeth the whole time). The Giants took the lead again in the third inning, which started off with a single from Curt Casali and a walk from Austin Slater. Ke’Bryan Hayes singled to lead off the inning and ultimately made it home after a fielder’s choice, a single from Michael Chavis, and a sac fly from Diego Castillo brought him home. ![]() But the Pirates tied it up on the other end.

The earliest form of data visualization can be traced back the Egyptians in the pre-17th century, largely used to assist in navigation. There are a number of ways to represent different types of data, and it’s important to remember that it is a skillset that should extend beyond your core analytics team. Alternatively, they may utilize a graph structure to illustrate relationships between entities in a knowledge graph. For example, while text mining an analyst may use a word cloud to to capture key concepts, trends, and hidden relationships within this unstructured data. However, data visualization isn’t limited to performance dashboards. Teams that manage reporting systems typically leverage defined template views to monitor performance. Data visualizationĭata visualization is a critical step in the data science process, helping teams and individuals convey data more effectively to colleagues and decision makers. While visual discovery helps data analysts, data scientists, and other data professionals identify patterns and trends within a dataset, every day data viz supports the subsequent storytelling after a new insight has been found. Visual discovery and every day data viz are more closely aligned with data teams. Data modeling also uses abstraction to represent and better understand data flow within an enterprise’s information system, making it easier for developers, business analysts, data architects, and others to understand the relationships in a database or data warehouse. Project managers frequently use Gantt charts and waterfall charts to illustrate workflows. It is commonly used in learning settings, such as tutorials, certification courses, centers of excellence, but it can also be used to represent organization structures or processes, facilitating communication between the right individuals for specific tasks. Idea illustrationĭata visualization for idea illustration assists in conveying an idea, such as a tactic or process. While these visualizations are usually unpolished and unrefined, they help set the foundation within the project to ensure that the team is aligned on the problem that they’re looking to address for key stakeholders. They are frequently leveraged during brainstorming or Design Thinking sessions at the start of a project by supporting the collection of different perspectives and highlighting the common concerns of the collective. We’ll delve deeper into these below: Idea generationĭata visualization is commonly used to spur idea generation across teams. Harvard Business Review (link resides outside IBM) categorizes data visualization into four key purposes: idea generation, idea illustration, visual discovery, and everyday dataviz. Management also leverages it to convey organizational structure and hierarchy while data analysts and data scientists use it to discover and explain patterns and trends. These visual displays of information communicate complex data relationships and data-driven insights in a way that is easy to understand.ĭata visualization can be utilized for a variety of purposes, and it’s important to note that is not only reserved for use by data teams. ![]() Data visualization is the representation of data through use of common graphics, such as charts, plots, infographics, and even animations. ![]() ![]() The following criteria were used to select the themes that make up this list: That said, how does one choose the top 5 VS Code themes?

It is When you fail to keep both girls away from exhaustion, it is all about managing to keep at least one girl in the game while the other one rests until you can find and match three stamina tokens to get ahead of the exhaustion. ![]() Some Baggage curses bring negative effects that cancel themselves out when the girl is exhausted. Sometimes exhausting a girl on purpose can be beneficial. ![]() Only match Stamina tokens when it is absolutely necessary since one girl can always recover her stamina for free with each turn when not focused on. Avoid exhaustion by matching Stamina tokens and swapping between the two girls regularly. If both girls get exhausted, you lose the game. Leaving Baggage-curses ignored is a grave mistake that can throw your entire game off and make you confused why you are not scoring points when you normally should. For example, a girl might be into a specific type of affection token indicated in their information tab, but a baggage curse can cancel or even penalize this.

With a decade of research now in hand, enough data exist to resolve discrepancies via a meta-analysis. 10, 11 A lack of congruent findings may be a barrier to the development and delivery of educational programs that seek to inform youth of sexting and its potential risks. Various studies have found associations between sexting and increased sexual activity, substance use, delinquency, and internalizing problems such as depression and anxiety 6 - 9 however, other studies indicate no associations between sexting and these behaviors. 4, 5Īlthough the prevalence of youth sexting is now more definitive, research on the types of risks associated with sexting is not. 3 The prevalence of youth sexting is also reportedly on an upward trend, 3 a finding commensurate with the rapid rise in rates of smartphone ownership, with 95% of teens in 2018 owning mobile phones compared with 71% 10 years ago. ![]() A recent synthesis of the prevalence of sexting in 39 studies comprising more than 110 000 youth reveals that 1 in 4 youth are receiving sexts and 1 in 7 are sending sexts. 1, 2 Initially, much of the research on youth sexting was focused on establishing the prevalence of this behavior. Sexting is the exchange of sexual messages, photos, or videos via technological devices. It has been 10 years since the advent of sexting research, and, during this time, sexting has moved into mainstream culture. Educational campaigns to raise awareness of digital health, safety, and security are needed to help youth navigate their personal, social, and sexual development in a technological world. Longitudinal research is needed to assess directionality of effects and to analyze the mechanisms by which sexting and its correlates are related. Moderator analyses revealed that associations between sexting, sexual behavior, and mental health factors were stronger in younger compared to older adolescents.Ĭonclusions and Relevance Results of this meta-analysis suggest that sexting is associated with sexual behavior and mental health difficulties, especially in younger adolescents. Results Participants totaled 41 723 from 23 included studies. Main Outcomes and Measures Sexual behavior (sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, lack of contraception use) and mental health risk factors (anxiety/depression, delinquent behavior, and alcohol, drug use, and smoking). Random-effects meta-analyses were used to derive odds ratios (ORs). Study Selection Studies were included if participants were younger than 18 years and an association between sexting and sexual behaviors or mental health risk factors was examined.ĭata Extraction and Synthesis All relevant data were extracted by 2 independent reviewers. Objective To provide a meta-analytic synthesis of studies examining the associations between sexting, sexual behavior, and mental health using sex, age, publication date, and study methodological quality as moderators.ĭata Sources Electronic searches were conducted in April 2018 in MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, and Web of Science, yielding 1672 nonduplicate records. Although various studies have examined the association between sexting, sexual behaviors, and mental health, results are mixed. Importance Sexting is the exchange of sexual messages, photographs, or videos via technological devices and is common and increasing among youth.
