![]() Maybe it is because they consider themselves as the old generation of kathoeys, or maybe it is because that is what they are used to. All four live in a rural town that may contribute to their struggles, and yet they all decide to stay there. The women acknowledge the true and false perceptions of the kathoey lifestyle. ![]() It’s hard and it’s sad, but it’s better than who she was before because she wasn’t truly living then. She has accepted her daily and lifelong struggles. Even though she isn’t happy, she is herself. But what can I do…I never wanted to be a man, even if being a ladyboy is more complicated”. Let my hair grow, feel pretty…So yes, my life is basically very sad. Disappointed that I had to wait so many years before I could be myself. One woman explains, “Yes, I am disappointed. They give an honest revelation about themselves and what they think it means to be a kathoey. In the final clips of the film, each woman is interviewed alone. Not because they want to, but because they think their partner will not understand or do not understand the “kathoey lifestyle”. They explain that their outgoing and free spirited personalities feels like it must be kept a secret. Most of their struggles stem from love and how to find love and acceptance. Every day almost seems static, and even so, problems arise and their struggles remain. Instead, it is an honest discussion with glimpses into their daily lives. They don’t have the same privileges as those in a city with a larger population and with more freedom to express themselves. Their lives differ from those in the city because they live in a smaller community, with the same people, and people who like to gossip. However, like most people, they desire to love and even say all they want is to be loved and to have children. The four women that are highlighted in the film live what some people would say to be simple lives. The kathoey community is a part of Thailand’s culture, and this documentary takes a look at it from a different angle and a different location. There is an entire industry and culture built around it from kathoey beauty pageants, called Miss Tiffany’s Universe, to nightly kathoey shows that bring in millions of tourists every year. Thailand, coined one of the most accepting countries for LGBTQA+ members, still has a long way to go with transgender and gay rights, but in comparison, it is the only Southeast Asian country in the process of legalizing same-sex marriage. The film, focuses on the microculture of Kathoeys in rural Northern Thailand rather than the in major cities, like Bangkok. Kathoeys in Rural Thailand Sited Microculture They all work at a rubber tree farm at night, while trying to survive and balance what they say is their “kathoey lifestyle” and finding happiness and love. The four kathoeys all live in the same area. There are reoccurring themes in the film that I noticed: lasting love and new vs old kathoeys. The director interviews each woman separately as they open up about their personal struggles with love from a significant other or with their family, as well as their perception of the other women’s lifestyles and struggles with finding love. ![]() Although most of their experiences take place in rural Thailand, it is juxtaposed with the popular idea of kathoeys in the lively capital, Bangkok, and with living a fast-paced life. This film addresses the stigma of transgender women in Thailand from the four women’s perspective. Each woman has a different story but is bonded by the struggles they face, both external and internal. ![]() Although this is a controversial phrase in western culture, it is preferred by transwomen in Thailand. They self-identify as “kathoey”, which translates to “ladyboy” in English. This documentary directed by Philippe Baben der Erde and Vincent Fournier focuses on four transgender women in rural Thailand. ![]() Should you try to print the same design on an A6 as on an A5 the information might get very small in difficult to read. The size is half the size of an A5 pamphlet which means you get double the volume of flyers reaching more people. You can print on both sides if you need more space.Ī6 (148 x 105mm) leaflet works well if you focus on specific information like a single product you wish to promote. The flyer is big enough to print a lot of information and eye catching graphics. A cheap flyer with back printing would not represent the ring in the same light and will discourage the customer from even coming to the store to view the real product Leaflet SizesĪn A5 (148 x 210mm) flyer is a popular size. ![]() If the product advertised is expensive then a better quality paper and print should appeal to a higher income bracket customer and hopefully convert to more sales.Ī one of a kind diamond ring of R50 000 should be printed on a quality paper and possibly with some special finish to give the photos and the flyer a premium feel. Special papers can be used but will affect the cost per flyer. A thicker paper also works better with a double sided print as the thicker paper blocks more of the artwork printed on the back. The thicker paper is a bit more firm when held, especially when a bigger size flyer is needed. ![]() This paper type is an economical option but still gives a bit more of a higher quality look and feel.Ĭustomers tend to prefer a 170gsm to 200gsm paper for a more exclusive events or up market product. Typically a pamphlet would be printed on 100gsm to 128gsm gloss paper. It is also cheaper to print on one side of a flyer then on both sides, but not by much.

Lipomas form as the body and its standard filtration systems deteriorate, purging excess toxins through the skin. That can vary, though, depending on where they form and whether the dog can scratch or bite at them. ![]() Like skin tags on dogs, lipomas tend to stay soft to the touch, and like skin tags on dogs, are usually harmless and painless. So, what are lipomas and fatty tumors - and how are they different from skin tags on dogs? Lipomas are fatty deposits that form just beneath the skin and fur, rather than appearing to grow out of them. A quick fine-needle aspiration performed by your veterinarian can tell whether cancerous cells are present, which a biopsy will confirm if true. Lipomas and mast cell tumors, for instance, may resemble skin tags on dogs, but vary in their nature and potential long-term consequences. Where skin tags on dogs grow out of the surface of the skin and have generally no ill effects, there are a number of other growths that affect dogs as they age. If you notice any changes, irritations or abscesses at or around the site of a skin tag, your dog should see a veterinarian to rule out malignant possibilities. The most important thing you can do about skin tags on dogs is to be observant. As long as the skin tags are not located in their underarms or around the eyes, where they can irritate or impede a dog’s normal functioning, removal of skin tags on dogs tends to be unnecessary and pursued mainly for aesthetic reasons.

Skin tags on dogs are common with advancing age Skin tags on dogs are common as they get older. ![]() Under the hood, the edit timeline playback engine has been “hugely improved”, which should smooth playback on lower-powered systems where a project cannot be played back in real time.

Workflow improvements include the option to specify the intervals at which timeline backups will be created on a per-timeline basis, and metadata panel support for marker subsclips.Īudio: Fairlight improvements and better support for external database applicationsĪudio artists get support for edit and mix groups in DaVinci Resolve’s Fairlight toolset, support for nesting VCAs, and the option to stream from external database applications like Soundminer. ![]() The software can now automatically sort clips by type (dialogue, effects or music), and can also automatically transcribe dialogue, and generate text captions in a new subtitle track. Video editors using Studio get a number of new AI-based tools for working with the audio in media clips. Video editing: new AI-based tools for categorising, transcribing and captioning media clips In addition, DaVinci Resolve now automatically creates the inputs and outputs required by Resolve FX effects plugins, removing the need to drag plugins as independent FX nodes. Other workflow improvements include the option to override color management settings on a per-timeline basis, and to copy color grades to all of the angles within multicam shots when flattening multicam clips. The files can be relinked via a Missing LUTs tab in the LUT gallery. Rather than interrupting playback with a warning dialog, missing LUTs are now shown via an overlay at the bottom of the screen. The 18.5 updates also improve DaVinci Resolve’s handling of projects with missing LUTs. ![]() Grading: support for annotations in the color viewer, plus a lot of workflow improvementsĬolorists can also now add their own marker overlays and annotations to footage in the color viewer, making it possible for supervisors to flag up parts of a sequence that need adjusting. Studio’s existing Super Scale feature for up-resing video gets a new 2x Enhanced mode for “extremely high quality 2x output”, with manual controls to adjust noise reduction and images sharpness.

With it, artists can add virtual direction, point or spot lights to a shot, and adjust their colour, surface softness and specularity, as shown at 23:40 in the video at the top of the story.

In addition, DaVinci Resolve Studio’s native AI depth map generator is now available inside Fusion. Multi-merge makes it possible to composite shots using a layer-based workflow as well as the node-based workflow available in Fusion, Resolve’s 3D compositing environment. Other new features relevant to visual effects work include Multi-merge, a new tool for managing multiple foreground sources as a composited layer stack, shown at 22:10 in the video at the top of the story.

When frothing the milk, turn the cup the milk is in at an angle. The key to this recipe is adding warm milk to the coffee, as well as topping it off with the fluffy foam. Whole milk gives you the richest, creamiest consistency, but you can use a lower percentage if you prefer. Caramel also has notes of vanilla in it, so the vanilla flavor ultimately adds to the overall caramel taste of the drink recipe. The vanilla syrup works well to sweeten the drink.
