Moonstone – a pale gold – if Champagne Pop is too dark for you, try Moonstone Pearl – the lightest shade – it leans very white, but with just enough gold to make it flattering on lighter skin tones And on the flip side, contouring with a dark, matte shade will cause areas to recede. Basically put it wherever the sun would naturally hit, and the areas that you want to bring forward. You can dust it on the tops of your cheeks, the tip of your nose, your chin, under your brows, the corners of your eyes, and the top of your Cupid’s bow. The highlighters are easy to apply – a little goes a long way, and you get a lot of shimmer with a simple brush application. So, I was super stoked when Becca sent me all ten shades to swatch and review for you guys. I now pretty much compare all highlighters and their “butter level” to the Shimmering Skin Perfector, which I view as the OG highlighter! They are very shimmery without ever being glittery (no big chunks of sparkle). The first time I tried one of Becca’s pressed highlighters (years ago), I was blown away with how buttery and silky the formula was. The price tag of the products ($38 for the Skin Perfector highlighters) puts them easily in the high end/luxury cosmetics range. I read that about 55% of Becca’s consumers classify themselves as “non-White” and a little less than half are aged 35 and older. They have since launched many new products and shades, and have been immensely popular with a wide variety of age ranges and ethnicities. Becca gained a huge surge in popularity when they launched (the now cult classic) Champagne Pop with Jaclyn Hill about three years ago (or a lifetime ago in the world of cosmetics!).

I just didn't feel like that discrepancy wasn't meaningful when I went to apply, blend out, or as the powders wore on the skin throughout the day. The formula is supposed to have a "high-shine" finish that "doesn't look glittery" and is blendable with an "intense highlight." The Minis were similar in color and performance to the full-sized shades, but the texture of the Minis seemed ever-so-slightly looser and not as cream-like to the touch.

For new sexplorers, try starting on the lowest intensity setting and increasing as desired. Apply a lil' pressure to create a seal around the enclosed area. Position Puff's outer ring around an area you'd like to stimulate.Battery Time: Puff reaches a full charge in 1.5 hours which should last for two to three hours depending on use.Water Viability: Fully waterproof, submersible up to 3 feet for 30 minutes.Surface Material: Super smooth body safe silicone.PLEASE remember to use water-based lubes with your silicone toys (as silicone lubes will deteriorate their surfaces) - ONLY A PLEASURE Compact and easy-to-use, Puff is the perfect partner for all your orgasmic adventures. It's totally waterproof and USB-rechargeable. With 5 intensity settings, Puff offers a range of targeted, powerful sensations. Who knew something could suck so good? Meet Puff, Unbound’s best-selling suction toy that's earned over 2,000 5-star reviews for its ability to deliver. "I’m seasoned with vibrators, but not so much the suction ones.Puff is Unbound’s best-selling suction toy. I’ve been using it after another vibe for a more drawn out experience□. It works extremely quickly, and I’ve never had such a mind-blowing experience. " As someone who identifies as ace but does enjoy a good orgasm, this was absolutely unbelievable. Make sure you put down a towel." -Sandra P. "I didn’t know that my body could do the things it did with this. Excited to see some more products from Unbound with these colors! especially more kinky options )" -Oliver P. The unique color options are what actually drew me to Unbound. I definitely went to recommend them to my FTM friends saying 'this thing is like a FTM blowjob machine!' I highly recommend the Puff to any transgender man, ESPECIALLY if they’re on T and have bottom growth. Lastly, I don’t exactly like feminine colors, It’s almost impossible to find certain vibes with some gender-neutral color options, for this type of vibe I could only find purple and pink. I thought 'leg shaking orgasms' were just people overexaggerating, but the Puff definitely proved me wrong. I got to the third setting when I began to struggle to keep quiet. I can be quiet effortlessly when getting down to business, and with my history with vibes I’ve always put them full bast to get off, but the Puff was a VERY different story. At a low setting it’s the closest a vibrator has accurately simulated head, and the last two-three settings are like head but on steroids. I’ve never used a suction vibe but I’ve always wanted to try them especially now that I have bottom growth. I’ve tried an internal/external remote-control vibrator, bullets, and wands, but those were all blown out of the water when I used the Puff. "I have used a few sex toys before, internal, external, anal, kinky, and all that fun stuff. With that out of the way here’s my review: Most people don’t know that T causes 'bottom growth' where our clits grow and function like a lil' peen about the size of the tip of a thumb to the knuckle. "I’m female-to-male transgender, 10 months on testosterone, and pre op. I tend to keep it on two or three because if I go any higher my soul might leave my body." -Christina The different levels of intensity are great. This is my first time using a suction vibrator and I’m obsessed. Promising reviews: "Wowowow? We love a baddie named Puff! I was pleasantly surprised by this purchase.

The SnapShot program has a small CPU (Central Processing Unit) footprint which makes it ideal for sitting in the background while it waits to be used. Customizable Without Being Overly Intrusive Further, two models are suggested, one for reading and one for spelling, to illustrate the cognitive processes that underlie the reading and spelling mistakes in this type of orthography. The results of the reading and spelling errors are discussed from a reading development point of view. In addition, the Arabic orthography also contributed to these types of errors because many spelling mistakes were made due to poor knowledge of the spelling rules. The analysis of the spelling errors revealed that the dominant type of error was mostly phonetic due to the limited orthographic lexicon. Consistently, the profile of the spelling errors was similar in percentages and quality among the dyslexics and the reading-level-matched group but different from the age-matched group on the spelling measures. The Spelling Ace offers phonetic spell correction for more than 100,000 words, along with more than 500,000 synonyms, antonyms, and 'Classmates' (words. The most prominent types of errors were morphological and semiphonetic, which highlighted the contribution of the Arabic orthography to these types of errors. Sharpen your spelling skills and refine your literary chops with the Franklin SA-206 Spelling Ace, which combines a portable English-language spelling corrector with a comprehensive thesaurus. In addition, the error profiles of the dyslexic readers were similar to the error profiles made by the younger reading-level-matched group in percentages and in quality. Two research questions were the focus of this study: What are the reading and spelling profile errors of dyslexic native Arabic speakers? What is the effect of the Arabic orthography on these types of errors? The results of the reading error analysis revealed a clear contribution of the uniqueness of the Arabic orthography to the types of errors made by the three different groups. They were tested on reading and spelling of texts, isolated words and pseudowords. This study was an investigation of reading and spelling errors of dyslexic Arabic readers ("n"=20) compared with two groups of normal readers: a young readers group, matched with the dyslexics by reading level ("n"=20) and an age-matched group ("n"=20). It looks stunning and I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to order something a little more appealing than an enzyme shake. The glass-walled cube is the hotel’s Ice-Q Restaurant (yes, that really is its name). In fact, the glass-walled ‘Hoffler Klinik’ is the five-star Das Central Hotel, Auweg 3, atop the Gaislachkogel in Sölden. Spectre film location: the ski resort: Ice-Q, Solden, Austria | Photograph: Ice-Qīond finds himself obliged to protect White’s daughter, Dr Madeleine Swann ( Léa Seydoux), who works in an Alpine clinic which recalls the mountaintop retreat of Blofeld ( Telly Savalas) in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The mountain-ringed lake he crosses by boat is Lake Altaussee, at the spa town Altaussee in the district of Liezen, beneath the Loser Plateau. The name of old adversary Mr White ( Jesper Christensen, last seen in Quantum Of Solace) crops up and Bond follows the trail across Europe to snowy Austria. Making his escape, Bond unceremoniously dumps Q’s precious prototype in the Tiber at Ponte Sisto, the arched 15th Century bridge in Rome's historic centre, which connects Via dei Pettinari to Piazza Trilussa in the Trastevere district. Nevertheless, as 007 is discovered and makes his escape, the ensuing car chase really is through the streets of Rome, through St Peter’s Square, and down the steps of the Scalo De Pinedo to Lungotevere, the road which runs along the bank of the River Tiber, where Bond at last manages to activate one of the motor’s useful gizmos. Odd camera angles and lighting disguise this familiar location, seen in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, The Avengers (1998), Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet and Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon among other films.ĭisappointingly, the palazzo’s vast marble-walled hall, in which Bond first sees the supposedly long-dead Franz Oberhauser ( Christoph Waltz) is no more than a set built on the famous 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios. In the end, the exterior seen in the film is that of Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill in the village of Woodstock, Oxfordshire. Originally, this was supposed to have been filmed at the Palazzo Reale in Caserta, near Naples (seen as the ‘Theed Palace of Naboo’ in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace). Spectre film location: the secret meeting at 'Palazzo Cadenza': Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire | Photograph: Wikimedia / Alexanderm14įrom here, he goes on to infiltrate a high-level secret meeting in the ‘Palazzo Cadenza’. When it transpires that Bond has been acting on his own initiative, he’s summoned to London and one of those stern dressings down from the new M ( Ralph Fiennes). Unlike the Gothic gloominess surrounding death in European culture, the Day Of The Dead is a colourful event with sugar skulls, marigolds, the favorite foods and beverages left as gifts at the graves of the departed. It originated in the old Mesoamerican culture, when it was celebrated in early summer, but the coming of Europeans saw it moved to the end of October to coincide with Catholic All Souls Day celebrations. The public holiday of El Día de Muertos is celebrated throughout Mexico (especially the Central and South regions) as a time remember and pray for those who’ve died. Usually called the Zócalo, the second largest square in the world, after Moscow’s Red Square, can also be seen in Steven Soderbergh's Traffic. Amid the mayhem, Bond commandeers a getaway ’copter which has touched down among the crowds on the vast Plaza de la Constitución. The seemingly simple task triggers off – almost literally – catastrophe. The same hotel was featured in the 1989 Bond film Licence To Kill, with Timothy Dalton as 007. The skull-masked reveler (who turns out to be Bond) mingling with the crowd suddenly ducks into the flamboyant lobby of the Gran Hotel Ciudad De Mexico, Avenue 16 de Septiembre 82, making his way to the roof where he’s on a mission to take out the assassin Sciarra in a neighbouring building. Spectre kicks off with enormous confidence and a stonking teaser sequence (seemingly influenced by the legendary tracking shot which opened Orson Welles’s Touch Of Evil) set in Mexico City during spectacular El Día de Muertos (Day Of The Dead) celebrations. It’s early days so there may be minor spoilers – though I can’t imagine what hasn’t already leaked on the net.īuoyed by the enormous success of Skyfall, there seem to be more genuine locations this time around (much of the previous film’s ‘Hong Kong’ section was filmed in London). As of today, the mural is still in place. They also filed a restraining order against the removal of the mural to which the town has agreed. On January 31, Young and the Institute for Justice officially filed a lawsuit against the town of Conway. “Hopefully it will create some good change in the town and more positivity between the town board and everybody who lives here, because right now the relationships are pretty strained.”Īt the end of 2022, the mural still remained on Leavitt’s Country Bakery, and the town office told Young that he could face criminal charges and fines if he did not paint over the work by February 2. “I think it sets a good example for all the people in town who have had their rights trampled on,” said Young. The nonprofit organization defines itself as a “national law firm for liberty and a prominent defender of economic liberty and First Amendment rights for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses - especially small businesses,” and has a record of fighting small towns on similar bureaucratic oversteps. Young hired a local lawyer in October, but soon, the Institute for Justice reached out and took on his case, which Young said was the only way he would have been able to financially continue his legal fight. (It’s not the first time that Conway has enforced its strict sign ordinance: It recently ordered the nearby Settler’s Green outlet mall to remove its murals on similar grounds.) In September, Young and a large group of community members (including Benish) advocated for the mural at another zoning board meeting, but the town office again kept the order in place. He attended Conway’s August zoning board meeting, but despite citizens’ vocal outcry, the town office upheld its decision. Young posted about the incident on social media and attracted droves of local supporters. “At first I was really upset about them telling me to paint over it because it was a great thing for the kids,” Young told Hyperallergic. Only nine days after it was completed, however, Conway’s code enforcer told Young that the mural needed to be removed. The project took five weeks to paint and was finished in June 2021. against the backdrop of a sunny sky, a nod to Conway’s location near New Hampshire’s White Mountains. A few months later, the students painted a mountainscape comprised of pastries - doughnuts, muffins, cookies, etc. Benish was searching for a community art project for her students, and Young agreed to let the class paint a mural on the front facade of his new business. Early last year, a friend connected Young with local Kennett High School art teacher Olivia Benish. In 2021, Young bought Leavitt’s Country Bakery, a nearly 50-year-old local institution. Owner Sean Young of Leavitt’s Country Bakery and the Institute for Justice, a libertarian nonprofit public interest law firm, are suing the town of Conway for a symbolic $1 after the zoning board ordered the mural be removed because it depicts goods sold within the shop, and therefore qualifies as an illegally large sign. In the small town of Conway, New Hampshire, a local bakery’s mural depicting pastries - painted by a high school art class - has spawned a conversation about government censorship of art and First Amendment rights. Zone Map courtesy of HM Nautical Almanac Office, Time zones for countries around the world can be determined with So the eclipse will begin at 16:25 (=4:25pm) local time. Saving Time in June, we must ADD one more hour to the above Pacific Standard Time (PST) = UT - 8 hoursĮffect in the time zone, you must ADD one hour to the aboveįor example, let's assume that an eclipse begins in Toledo, Ohio Mountain Standard Time (MST) = UT - 7 hours For North Americans, the conversion from UT to local time is as follows:Ītlantic Standard Time (AST) = UT - 4 hoursĮastern Standard Time (EST) = UT - 5 hoursĬentral Standard Time (CST) = UT - 6 hours In order to convert eclipse predictions from UT to local time, you need to know what time zone you are in. Like most other astronomical calculations, eclipse predictions are usually presented in terms of Universal Time. It's also approximately equal to mean solar time from Greenwich. Universal Time is actually based on the mean sidereal time as measured in Greenwich, England. Although their exact definitions differ, most readers can assume that Universal Time is equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time or GMT. Universal Time or UT is the precise measure of time used as the basis for all civil time-keeping. Finally, we can measure time through the oscillations of atoms (International Atomic Time). Or we can measure time based on the rotation of Earth on its axis with respect to the stars (Universal Time). For instance, we can measure the passage of time via the orbital motion of Earth and other planets in the solar system (Dynamical Time). Time can be measured in a number of ways. – MB Lando NorrisĮighth place is by no means a headline result for McLaren, particularly as it had a sizeable upgrade package for Barcelona yet now seems to be adrift of Alfa Romeo in the pecking order and behind Alpine too, but in the context of the rest of Lando Norris’s weekend, it represented a good return. But in performance terms, this was a great weekend. Perhaps the outcome showed a lingering lack of strategic sharpness that will hurt when Alfa Romeo’s racing in such illustrious company. While fourth would’ve been outstanding, this is still a team that’s gone from just about scoring on occasion and often going out in Q1 to being sad when it finishes only sixth because a Mercedes and a Ferrari passed it late on. It’s a points loss that might hurt too – Alfa Romeo could be seven points behind fourth-placed McLaren in the championship now not 11, and nine clear of chasing Alpine not five.īut Alfa Romeo’s return to F1 respectability is not yet so well established that a sixth place feels disappointing. Given he’d spent the majority of the race in a pressure-free fourth place, Valtteri Bottas was right to sound peeved on team radio that Alfa Romeo sticking to a two-stop strategy left him only sixth at the end. In both pace and fighting spirit terms, Mercedes offered so much hope to its fans today. Though Russell looked like he would again be Mercedes’ hero with his gallant efforts to fend off the Red Bulls for a podium and then the race lead, Lewis Hamilton went from first-lap damage to intimating he ought to retire the car to a remarkable charge from a distant 19th to fourth before the water leak that dropped him to fifth. Still only third and fifth, and limping at the end with overheating cars, but Mercedes provided strong evidence in Spain that it’s back in business and both its drivers had a huge amount to be proud of. Red Bull made the tough but necessary call with Sergio Perez who did a stellar job to earn Red Bull’s second one-two of the season. It gives Verstappen the championship lead, and although in slightly fortuitous circumstances, considering Verstappen’s reliability-induced retirements from Bahrain and Australia, he’ll likely have little sympathy for Leclerc’s plight. Formula 1 is back this weekend for the 2017 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona at the Circuit de Catalunya.His DRS woes during the multitude of laps he spent behind George Russell looked to further cement his loser status but then Leclerc retired and Verstappen fired in the fast laps on the soft tyres to ensure the victory was his – via a Red Bull team order that he probably didn’t need to overcome Sergio Perez. Can Williams reply to that with a performance upgrade? Will there be respite for McLaren Honda? It will be interesting to see how the upgrades will shake up the midfield as well.įorce India believe their upgrades will cement them at the top of the midfield. Ferrari and Red Bull, however, are bringing upgrades with a major focus on aerodynamic improvement. It is believed that the upgrades Mercedes are bringing to Spain are to do with car weight reduction because they believe the increased weight is the cause for their balance problems. “You cannot say this but he is certainly a very good replacement for Nico, I have to say, because twice pole position and to win the fourth race is not a bad performance for us.” Bottas beat him but perhaps the next three times maybe Lewis will do that. “Bottas was quicker in Russia because he won the race but Lewis is an outstanding talent, a world champion. This is one race, he has won his first race and now we have to wait and see. But we will see in Barcelona in practice and then in the race.”Īsked if Bottas can mount a serious title run, Niki said : “Nobody knows. “It’s very simple, everyone will come with upgrades”, said Niki, “The season will start new and whoever has the better upgrades, we don’t know yet. The first four races of the season have made it clear that Ferrari and Mercedes are the current title contenders and Red Bull Racing are operating at a significant performance deficit to the top two teams. Given the significant upgrades most teams including the top three are bringing to this weekend’s 2017 Spanish Grand Prix, Non executive chairman of Mercedes and F1’s elderly fan Niki Lauda has suggested that the 2017 F1 season will basically start from scratch in Spain. |
