![]() I jump-started it and went to a quick-fix service station for a fresh battery. After a few tries, errors, and words that I couldn't publish, I finally got it, and the car moved. You need to take out the rubber piece from the bottom of the cup holder located behind the gear selector, reach out with a special tool through a hole that you can hardly see a button that is located underneath the plastic trim of the center console (and there's no way to see it). Mercedes-Benz was so sure that customers won't have any troubles with their transmissions that they didn't bother to find an easier way to do that. Fortunately, I had the special, Z-shaped tool needed to release the gear lever and put the gearbox into Neutral. But then I needed to use the shift-lock trick to release it from Parking mode. Still, the parking brake was foot operated, and I could release it. So, the only solution was to switch it from P to N, push it, and get the engine running. To add insult to injury, it was parked in such a position that I couldn't jump-start it without 30-ft-long leads, which I didn't have. I could've eaten a Big Mac between the first and second gears.īut once I found myself, and my car, stranded about fifty miles away from home with a dead battery. But, God, that was slower than slow! I tried to put it into manual mode a couple of times. It is reckoned as one of the most reliable automatic transmissions that came from the three-pointed star brand. The first car I owned with an automatic was a Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W203) with a 5G-Tronic tranny. But as the city traffic started to look more like a giant parking lot, I started to reconsider the automatics.Īt that time, I had already driven over a hundred cars with automatics since I was already an automotive journalist. ![]() And when the clutch disc was finally completely gone, that skill saved me. The first car I owned had a four-on-the-floor, and I learned how to shift gears even without touching the clutch pedal, and I absolutely loved to do that since most of my friends couldn't. I never considered buying a car with an automatic, but slow traffic and better gearboxes made me reconsider that option. Furthermore, since these gearboxes had become more efficient than manual ones, even the most hard-core fans of the stick shifters had a change of heart. People who live in big, crowded cities crave automatic transmissions.

The fated encountering that would change Shion’s life, where he meets the person he would become enraptured with, is in itself the most medical of all the scenes in episode one. It soon becomes apparent that from a young age, citizens are taught to view their world through a medical lens, which turns them perfectly passive and controllable. It is obvious he is very intelligent and the viewers later finds out he is a rank A in intelligence and a future member of the gifted course. Shion is seen in a classroom, engaging with highly scientific material. The first scene in the series resembles the scenario mentioned in Foucault’s The History of Sexuality. Following the “big brother is watching” society archetype, No.6’s “Moon Drop” keeps a very close and extremely strict watch on its citizens. The first episode puts emphasis on the bracelet ID’s, often zooming in when Shion, the protagonist, passes checkpoints. Social-economic ranking depends on IQ (more specifically, a test the citizens take when they are 2 years old) and the society garners those natural abilities, structuring a hierarchy where those with more intelligence are much better off than and those who lack it. No.6 is a science fiction story that takes place in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world. And it is into this kind of industry, one in which interactions between men have been flattened by the fans of the very genre that is trying challenge such actions, that No.6 was born.Īsano and Her Attempt to Work outside the Box: ![]() The constant search for the homosexual has done away with ideas of “bromance”, such a friendship between men has been flagged as homosexual. The issue is that though “the gender representations and sexuality in boy-love manga challenge and trouble the belief that these categories are ontologically coherent, contained, and one dimensional- something that is at the very heart of queerness”, this queer-ing project has been taken up by fans that think that two guys looking at each other for more than two seconds must be homosexual, and it has become mainstream. The female fan finds pleasure and is filled with agency when assuming the different roles, either as the viewer, the seme, or the uke. Both the seme (aggressive, masculine role) and uke (passive, feminine role) roles have subjectivity, the subject giving love and the subject receiving love, unlike the usual heterosexual set up of the subject and the object of love. And why does the usually heterosexual fan enjoy this kind of relationship? Because “BL emphasizes the pleasure felt by both the seme and the uke, juxtaposing panels of each face in a shot-reverse shot style” and “invites the reader’s identification with both partners”. ![]() Women active in writing fan fiction would be the extreme of a female paranoid fan she is so anxious for her suspicions to come true that she takes the initiative to write it herself. No.6 is a queer text because of its rejection of paranoid reading and exploration of nonsexual romance between men. In her attempt to pull the series away from the charged label BL, Asano opens up the possibility of seeing it as queer. But although No.6’s main characters are both male, and they engage in acts that may be considered homosexual, Asano adamantly refuses the BL label. BL, or boys love, is a genre of stories that depict romantic and sexual relationships between men. In the anime and manga world, there have been countless debates on whether, No.6, a series by Atsuko Asano, is considered to be BL. ![]() Yeah, I’m that girl who always finds a way to connect her assignments to anime.

Goldstein’s go-to is Chanel’s Le Vernis polish in Cruise, a highly pigmented orange she considers sophisticated but playful, while Choi’s fiery Pop Orange shade works great on. And this season was no exception! On the Spring/Summer ’24 runway, nail art focused on the feminine, drawing inspiration from the viral balletcore trend seen all over the runways. Whether you want some nail art inspiration or to simply know the latest nail color trends, the fashion week runways are like the crystal ball of trends. Personally, my eyes are always on the lookout for the latest nail trends as to prevent future me from wasting 20 minutes in the nail salon, perusing through Instagram for my next design (sorry to my nail artist).

Then, just five months later, 13-year-old Jennifer Bastian disappeared during a bike ride through Point Defiance Park.

On the low end of that scale were yacht captains pulling in about $3,100 a month while the highest paid make around $20,000 per month. ![]() Survey data from 2021 shows that most captains working on yachts in this size range average just over $8,000 per month. ![]() These smaller yachts have less involved operations and are, in general, easier to run which is why the captain of a yacht of this size would likely get paid less. Obviously this can change on a case by case basis depending on the specific duties expected of the given captain. The captain of a smaller yacht like this could expect to make perhaps $45,000 to $98,000 per year or more. Many yachts of this size may only have one or two crew members on board to help operate them. Junior CaptainĪ Junior Captain would be captain of the smaller yachts that rank in around 60 feet up to 100 feet. I’ve included some survey data here taken from Dockwalk and this was gleaned from information provided by 476 different yacht captains to give you a pretty good idea of how much a captain makes at every single yacht size. You can divide yacht sizes up into three categories as it relates to yacht captains to get a better idea of the pay involved. Size of the vessel is arguably the biggest factor in what a yacht captain gets paid. As such, the Azzam’s captain is probably making more money. You can imagine that the captain of the Azzam has to deal with more than the captain of a 60 foot yacht. The longest yacht in the world is the Azzam which is just shy of 600 feet long. Most people feel a yacht has to be at least 60 or so feet in length before it’s considered a yacht.

The pay range for a yacht captain can vary greatly and for less experienced captains on smaller vessels it may start around $45,000 while it can range up to as much as $300,000 or more for very skilled captains on larger luxury yachts. As yachts get bigger they tend to require more crew members who are more skilled at their jobs and that includes a good yacht captain. |
