![]() While other editors have refused to run “uncomplimentary” terms like MANSPREADING (despite crosswords long including terms like HAG), USA Today is testing solvers with clues like “Female _ (film theory concept).” Agard is unafraid to include Internet slang or other things solvers might not be sure how to pronounce. ![]() But while “ethnic” foods like Vietnamese pho have been rejected elsewhere, USA Today is today a global feast of som tam and shumai and tirokafteri. Constructors have, meanwhile, complained about other major puzzles rejecting people like Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, Grammy-winning musician-and-actor Janelle Monae and SNL star Aidy Bryant as too trivial or unknown.Īmerican crosswords have long been Eurocentric (YSER, anyone?) as well as male-centric. One example: In the last couple years the word WIFE has been clued in major puzzles as “Marge, to Homer” and “Meghan, to Harry” and “Desdemona, to Othello.” In April, a puzzle edited by Agard ran a novel description involving two prominent soccer players: “Ali Krieger, to Ashlyn Harris,” leading one solver to gleefully tweet, “USA Today Crossword making me feel ALIVE!”Īmong the other people who have been brought into the 300 or so puzzles Agard has edited are Muslim comic author Huda Fahmy, Black comedian Nicole Byer, Mexican-American sportscaster Antonietta Collins and astronomer Annie Jump Cannon. ![]() That is not what is happening at USA Today. “You can have a white baseball player from 70 years ago and people say, ‘That’s great,” Cardin says, “and you can have a very famous person of color currently and a lot of people will say, ‘I don’t know that, so we’re not going to include it.’” ![]() Constructor Nate Cardin, founder of Queer Qrosswords, gives the example of “Husband’s spouse” being used to clue the answer WIFE or the fact that an answer like MELOTT is used, again and again, while LIZZO isn’t. Some puzzle-makers feel the tastes of gatekeepers are outdated and fear that crosswords won’t find relevance with upcoming generations. There are, perhaps, ten jobs like his in the country-overseeing puzzles that reach huge audiences every day-and many are filled by white men who have been running the show for more than 20 years. He’s one of the nation’s top constructors and solvers, who in 2018 earned acclaim both as a Jeopardy! champion and the winner of the nation’s premiere crossword puzzle tournament.īut Agard also defies the old mold, wielding the Final Say as a young biracial person. Since he was a student of African American Studies at the University of Maryland, he has been a known entity among puzzlers. The fact that Agard got the USA Today job is in some ways unremarkable. ( Note: industry style is to write answers in all caps.) Is it offensive to use the word ESKIMO? Should someone be expected to know the term CISGENDER? Those are calls crossword editors make. The content of a crossword is one answer to the question “What do you need to know in order to be a person of the world?” as Laura Braunstein, who cofounded a women-centric indie crossword called The Inkubator, puts it. They are an American art form that, on the daily, send a signal to millions of people about who and what matter, about where we are as a culture. Patti Varol, a veteran editor and constructor in the close-knit community known as the “crossworld” describes Agard as a “beacon of inclusivity” who is “revolutionizing the way puzzles are edited and vetted and published.” I expect Agard to say something about this, about the way that he has used his position to draw women and people of color and LGBTQ people into the square-and, in the process, turned a once-maligned puzzle into what one prominent blogger called today’s “most interesting, innovative, and provocative daily crossword.”Ĭrosswords are not just some nerdy pastime. There has been resistance.Īgard, a 26-year-old puzzle phenom who has been in the job about eight months, has done unprecedented work on this score. Critics have called out editors of major puzzles for publishing far more puzzles made by men than women, for the “old white guy sensibility” that has long set standards for the industry and for spectacular slips that prove just how real the blind spots are. There has been mounting protest in the world of crosswords, as there has been in entertainment and politics and every other arena where marginalized groups have felt excluded and disenfranchised. Entertaining as that all was, it is not exactly what I’m expecting Agard to say.

The seats and windows are covered to protect them. “During long-term parking, it is important to take good care of the cabin as well. Tarmac Aerosave, the leading operator specialising in aircraft parking and on-site maintenance in Europe, is responsible for taking care of Finnair's planes in Tarbes. An extensive list of maintenance activities is included – some of them performed weekly, some bimonthly, monthly or every three months. They are maintained regularly, in accordance with a pre-defined maintenance schedule. The planes cannot be left without attention even when parked in favourable climate conditions. A transfer flight is scheduled, planned and performed just as any other flight, but the difference is that there are no passengers or cabin crew on board.

These aircraft are still used exclusively for Finnair’s cargo-only flights, and cargo is carried both in the belly and in the cabin. When the corona epidemic started, Finnair engineers modified some of Finnair’s wide-body planes for cargo use by removing a part of the passenger seats from the cabin. In this situation, we have decided to park those A330 aircraft that are not reserved for cargo use.” ![]() “Only a small number of flights are now operated in comparison to the previous year, and we simply have too many aircraft for our current needs. "We operate the majority of our scheduled flights with A350 aircraft, because they are fuel-efficient, and also because they are our best aircraft from a customer experience point of view," says Sampo Paukkeri, responsible for aircraft maintenance at Finnair. Customer experience and fuel efficiency playing key rolesįinnair has altogether 24 wide-body aircraft, owned or leased, of which the majority are fuel-efficient Airbus A350s. This is important for aircraft engines and aluminium parts to avoid potential corrosion issues,” says Marko Anttila, responsible for aircraft fleet technical airworthiness at Finnair. For example, Tarbes is located far enough from the ocean, which means no saline environment. “There are several aspects that need to be considered. In Southern France, the temperature and humidity are kinder than in Finland for long-term parking. The first of them will fly southbound at the end of November. ![]() Finnair has sought solutions for long-term parking and maintenance together with partners, and four wide-body planes will be parked at our partner’s premises in Southern France, where the weather conditions are more suitable.

The older literature on AR pupils did not report the details of pupillary constriction (brisk vs. The exact relationship between syphilis and the two types of pupils ( AR pupils and tonic pupils) is not known at the present time. The accommodation pathways – pathways to the Edinger-Westphal nucleus that cause the pupils to constrict with near vision – are thought to be spared because of their more ventral course in the brainstem. These light-sensitive pathways allow the pupil to constrict to bright light. Specifically, the AR pupil is thought to be caused by selective damage to pathways from the retina to the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. The AR pupil is thought to be caused by damage to central pathways for pupillary constriction. Adie's pupil is caused by damage to peripheral pathways to the pupil (parasympathetic neurons in the ciliary ganglion that cause pupillary constriction to bright light and with near vision). The two different types of near response are caused by different underlying disease processes. The near response in tonic pupils is slow and prolonged. The near response in AR pupils is brisk and immediate. In the 1950s, Loewenfeld distinguished between the two types of pupils by carefully observing the exact way in which the pupils constrict with near vision. A patient whose pupil “accommodates but does not react” almost always has a tonic pupil, not an AR pupil. When penicillin became widely available in the 1940s, the prevalence of AR pupils (which develop only after decades of untreated infection) decreased dramatically. In the early 20th century, Adie described a second type of pupil that could “accommodate but not react.” Adie’s tonic pupil is usually associated with a benign peripheral neuropathy (Adie syndrome), not with syphilis. The AR pupil became known as a reliable clinical sign of syphilis. When serological tests for syphilis became available, patients with AR pupils usually tested positive for syphilis. The AR pupil was named after Douglas Moray Cooper Lamb Argyll Robertson, a Scottish ophthalmologist who noted the association with syphilis in 1869. ![]() Attach a cable clamp to the hole and thread the wires through it. Remove the front panel from the circuit box and punch out the pre-cut knockout on the side of the box. ![]() Strip the outer coating off of the last 1-2 feet (30-61 cm) of the end of the cable that will attach to the circuit box, then strip ½ inch (1.3 cm) of insulation off of the ends of each of the wires. Push the wires and outlet into the outlet box and secure them in place with screws, then screw on the outlet faceplate. Secure the black and red wires into the two unlabeled slots. Feed the end of the white wire into the slot with the neutral screw on the back of the outlet, and the green wire into the slot with the ground screw. Use a wire stripper to remove 1 foot (30 cm) of the coating on the outside of the cable to expose the wires inside, then strip ½ inch (1.3 cm) of the insulation off the end of each wire. Push the outlet box into the hole and screw it in securely, then pull about 1 foot (30 cm) of the cable out through the hole in the box. Use a fish tape to thread the cable through the wall between the hole you made for the outlet box and the hole you made near the circuit breaker. Run a rigid metal electrical conduit from the side of the breaker box to the hole you drilled and attach it to the wall with conduit straps every 1-2 feet (30-61 cm). Drill a hole in the wall near the circuit breaker box that’s about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wider than the diameter of the cable. Measure the shortest route between the outlet box and your circuit breaker, then cut a 10/4 cable so that it’s 2-3 feet (61-91 cm) longer than the distance you measured. Next, use a drywall saw to cut out a hole in the right size and shape for the outlet box you want to install. To wire a 220V outlet, first switch off power at the main circuit breaker. |
