![]() ![]() A #boycottnike hashtag was trending on Twitter. Not all the social media reaction was positive, of course, since some postings showed people destroying their Nike products to protest the ad. Kaepernick himself has nearly 2 million followers on Twitter. Tennis star Serena Williams, who is also part of the ad campaign, posted this on Twitter: "Especially proud to be a part of the Nike family today." Her tweet drew roughly 200,000 likes and retweets. Mentions of Nike on social media have soared since it announced the Kaepernick ad.

People who never watch a football game know who he is. In November 2017, GQ named Kaepernick its citizen of the year. Amnesty International gave Kaepernick its Ambassador of Conscience award.Īnd his willingness to continue his protest despite what it has cost him has drawn comparisons with Muhammad Ali's anti-war stance a half-century ago when the boxing champion refused to go to Vietnam. His protest may have cost him millions of dollars in lost income and the chance to play a game he loves at the highest levels of his sport. But his stance against police brutality and the reaction it ignited also has made Kaepernick an icon of the age. While reviled by President Donald Trump and denounced as a traitor by many, Kaepernick ranks as a folk hero to millions. ![]() More: Nike controversy: Colin Kaepernick ad exposes company's hypocrisy More: Big Sean: Appalled at removal of Colin Kaepernick lyric in 'Madden' But politics and protests aside, the Nike ad demonstrates an uncanny ability on Nike's part to understand its customers and to tap into the spirit of the age. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback's protest caught on, was joined by dozens of other players across the NFL and sparked a nationwide debate about the meaning of the anthem and the conduct of police in our communities.Īs a result, Kaepernick has not been able to get a job in the NFL since. Kaepernick, as even non-football fans probably know, inspired a movement to protest racial injustice and police brutality against people of color by choosing to kneel, rather than stand, for the national anthem before a National Football League game. The Nike ad, to mark the 30th anniversary of its "Just Do It" slogan, features a tight closeup of Kaepernick's face with these words imposed over it: "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything," followed by Nike's hashtag slogan #JustDoIt. Nike, the sports apparel company, has released what may rank as the shrewdest ad of the year featuring ostracized football player Colin Kaepernick.

![]() ![]() It was carried by a pavisier, usually an archer, or, especially for the larger ones, by a specialist pavise-bearer. The pavise was primarily used by archers and crossbowmen in the Middle Ages, particularly during sieges. The pavise is characterized by its prominent central ridge. A smaller version for hand-to-hand combat and for wearing on the backs of men-at-arms was also made. Of European origin, the pavise was large, square and convex. Similar large shields made of wicker were used by Achaemenid sparabara infantry. The concept of using a shield to cover an archer dates to at least the writing of Homer's Iliad, where Ajax used his shield to cover his half-brother Teucer, an archer, who would "peer round" and shoot arrows. The name comes from the city of Pavia, Italy. Often large enough to cover the entire body, it was used by archers, crossbowmen, and other infantry soldiers. Martin and the BeggarĪ pavise (or pavis, pabys, or pavesen) was an oblong shield used during the mid. It is decorated with Bartolomeo Vivarini's St. Bellow the shield is usually the motto, a phrase or sentence on a scroll.Model of a medieval crossbowman using a pavise shield. On the top of the helmet is the crest which initially continued into the mantling. Around the top of the helm is the torse also referred as wreath, a twisted roll of protective cloth worn over helmets depicted in two colors, usually in the same pair of colors as the mantle. Above the shield is placed the helmet or some other headgear such as crown or coronet tied with mantling, a drapery which was worn by knights from their helmets as a protective cloth covering. Under the shield and the supporters is a design called the compartment depicting some sort of landscape. On either side of the shield are the supporters, real or imaginary figures depicted holding it up. In contrary to the shape, patterns or division of the field and charges (image occupying the field) of the coat of arms were strictly regulated. The main constituent of the coat of arms is the shield or escutcheon the shape of which clearly indicates the influence of medieval shields used by knights in the battles although other shapes were possible as well. The rules of design and display of coat of arms greatly varied from country to country but there were some common standards such as the basic consisting elements and seven basic colors or tinctures (gold, white or silver (argent), red, blue, green, purple and black). Therefore the study of coat of arms is called heraldry. The use of coat of arms was strictly regulated and overseen by the herald, a professional officer of arms. A descendant of prominent parents sometimes borne ancestral coat of arms of both parents split into two parts. Ancestral arms of other descendants featured some changes such as addition of a distinguishing charge, while unmarried female descendants borne ancestral coat of arms in a shape of a lozenge or rhombus. Coat of ArmsĬoat of arms came to be considered a legal property transmitted from father to son in many medieval European countries. Patterned and ornamented shields were often crucial for identification on battlefields, while armorial insignia in the 13th century also became an instrument of identification of an individual or noble family impressed in sealing wax on documents, carved on family tombs and flown as a banner on castles and manor houses. Medieval shields worn by the knights in the battles greatly influenced the development of coat of arms and heraldry. However, the knights ceased to use the shields after the introduction of plate armor, while lightly armored troops continued to use the shields. The form and design changed through time from long, reversed teardrop shape of the Kite shield which was commonly used from the 10th to the 12th centuries to the smaller, triangular Heater shield and the round Buckler. Shield was worn on the arm or shoulder and held in hand during hand-to-hand combat. It was used as a protective weapon and often intercepted attacks of bows and arrows, swords and even blows. The shield was very important piece of defensive armor of medieval knights before the advent of plate armor. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reduces the physical size of a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk (VHD) file.Ĭonverts file allocation table (FAT) and FAT32 volumes to the NTFS file system, leaving existing files and directories intact.Ĭreates a partition on a disk, a volume on one or more disks, or a virtual hard disk (VHD).

Most (all?) ebook reader applications also don’t provide a nice way to have a text link briefly display an image on top of the content, or to show a larger, un-cropped version of an inline image. Lesser reader applications and devices display the Kindle and EPUB files in progressively more depressing ways. This can cause the image captions to be separate from their associated images by a big swath of whitespace. Open the same ebook file in both the Mac and iOS Kindle reader applications and you’ll see two very different appearances.Īpple’s iBooks app displays the EPUB version of the book almost as well as the Kindle Format 8 readers, but it has an annoying habit of stretching the content to fit the vertical space of the page when a large image causes a mid-page break. The Kindle ebook is a single file that contains two versions of the content: one in Kindle Format 8, and one in the older Kindle format. The Mac version does, however, as does the Kindle Fire. Most notably, the iOS Kindle app still does not support Kindle Format 8. Unfortunately many Kindle reading devices and applications don’t support Kindle Format 8. Kindle Format 8 readers support amazing new technologies such as text that flows around images and the ability to tie a caption to an image. Reading the Kindle version using a device or application that supports Kindle Format 8 provides the best experience of any of the ebook formats. Both ebook formats have severe limitations, most of which are imposed by the reader software. They’re both generated from the canonical HTML version of the article. ![]() This year, I created the Kindle and EPUB versions of the article myself. This year, Ars Technica actually asked me to merge several pages together to reduce the total number of pages (and I did). I like to break it up on logical section boundaries, which means that the “pages” vary widely in length. Some people think Ars Technica forces me to break my article up into many tiny pages. I use single-page view on very long articles when I’m searching for some text using my web browser’s “Find…” feature. That said, I also really like how an Ars Premier subscription eliminates all ads from the Ars Technica website and gives me the option to view any article on a single page. I can remember I was on page 8 instead of remembering the exact point in a very long, scrolling web page. I actually like it for very long articles because it helps me keep my place across multiple reading sessions. This kind of pagination annoys some people. The free web version has ads, and it’s split up into multiple “pages” (which are actually much longer than a single printed page). A web browser is the best place to inspect and follow those links. I believe that good writing for the web includes a lot of links. I consider the web version to be the canonical version, and the version with the best formatting and the most features. Here are my thoughts on the various reading options.

Sleep deprivation associated with disease-related sleep fragmentation (i.e., sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome) also results in neurocognitive performance decrements similar to those seen in sleep restriction studies. Recent chronic partial sleep deprivation experiments, which more closely replicate sleep loss in society, demonstrate that profound neurocognitive deficits accumulate over time in the face of subjective adaptation to the sensation of sleepiness. In humans, functional metabolic and neurophysiological studies demonstrate that neural systems involved in executive function (i.e., prefrontal cortex) are more susceptible to sleep deprivation in some individuals than others. Specific neurocognitive domains including executive attention, working memory, and divergent higher cognitive functions are particularly vulnerable to sleep loss. Sleep deprivation studies repeatedly show a variable (negative) impact on mood, cognitive performance, and motor function due to an increasing sleep propensity and destabilization of the wake state. ![]() Microsleeps, sleep attacks, and lapses in cognition increase with sleep loss as a function of state instability.
