8/24/2023 0 Comments Tidal free with sprint“Sprint shares our view of revolutionising the creative industry to allow artists to connect directly with their fans and reach their fullest, shared potential,” added Jay Z. “The passion and dedication that these artist-owners bring to fans will enable Sprint to offer new and existing customers access to exclusive content and entertainment experiences in a way no other service can.” “Jay saw not only a business need, but a cultural one, and put his heart and grit into building Tidal into a world-class music streaming platform that is unrivalled in quality and content,” said Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure in a statement. ![]() And despite the absence of a free subscription – users will likely pay a fee of $9.99 per month – the promised up-scaling of Tidal exclusives will no doubt be of keen interest to fans. And though a drastic spike in subscribers is unlikely to happen overnight, the deal could potentially attract a substantial new audience to the platform.Īs part of the agreement, Sprint will make Tidal available to its entire mobile customer base, which currently totals around 45 million users. Norwegian media outlet Dagens Næringsliv claimed that, while the company stated that it had three million subscribers to its name as of March 2016, the genuine figure was more like 850,000.ĭespite these claims, Sprint still saw fit to part with what was apparently around $200 million for its 33% share. Indeed, one recent report suggested that the company had exaggerated the number of Tidal subscribers, perhaps in a bid to pique the interest of any potential buyers. However, as those alleged talks cooled, so too it seemed did the likelihood of a sale. Last year, rumours began to circulate that Apple Music was sniffing around the company, as the tech giant looked to bolster its position in the market and claw back some of Spotify’s dominant market share. ![]() But, while the deal looks set to introduce Tidal to a vast new consumer base, will the promise of more exclusive content be enough to tempt customers away from its streaming competitors? Following months of speculation over whether or not Jay Z was ready to offload Tidal to the highest bidder, telecoms firm Sprint yesterday snapped up 33% of the streaming service for an undisclosed fee. 8/24/2023 0 Comments Foundation for luminous skin![]() Instantly blurring, the medium-to-full coverage liquid removed the sallow tones in my skin, as well as shaded dark circles under my eyes. For someone like me, who prefers a more natural finish, one pump was more than enough. "I used one pump of shade 9 (although wish I'd gone for a lighter option), applied it to the back of my hand and then daubed in small dots onto my face, followed by blending with a small stippling brush. But, when the occasion calls for it, a lightweight foundation that evens out skin tone and extends the wear of my make-up? Count me in. "Now, I don't wear foundation regularly, preferring strategically placed concealer and a sizeable amount of bronzer. 23 years later, the beloved formula is still a cult item. "An oil-free formulation, Luminous Silk has repeatedly been named a celebrity make-up artist favourite, sustaining its popularity since its initial launch in 2000. The Armani Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Foundation, to use its full name, counts everyone from Sydney Sweeney to Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Lori Harvey and Padma Lakshmi among its super fans. "It's hard to move for the celebrity testimonials about this Armani foundation. So forgive me for always taking luxury beauty product recommendations with a pinch of salt. And when it comes to luxury buys in beauty, I find that, a lot of the time, people want the product to be good so badly that they convince themselves it is. ![]() You see, Luminous Silk costs a cool £45, making it a luxury buy (and I'm the sort of person who sees the appeal in a good ol' Rimmel foundation). Call me a sceptic, but it's for this reason I'm not a big believer in 'cult' beauty products-particularly when they're expensive. ![]() My favourite way to use it is with a big fluffy brush."īut I know as well as you do that what makes a great foundation for one person might prove disastrous for another. It’s available in 40 shades so it covers all skin tones. It’s also oil free and really easy to blend, so is easy for anybody to use, as well as being good for every skin type. But why? Armani Beauty Make-up Artist, Naoko Scintu explains, "The Luminous Silk formula is perfect because it’s buildable, so you can put it on really sheer or you can build it up for more coverage. In addition, seek a foundation that will endure a long period.Whether you're after the best foundation for mature skin, the best foundation for oily skin, the best foundation for dry skin or even the best foundation for acne-prone skin-the appeal of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk appears to be universal. If you want to conceal flaws, a product with medium to full coverage is ideal. If you have a fair or dark complexion, you may need a sheer, medium, or full coverage foundation. Choose the dewy finish foundation shade that is closest to your skin tone, but keep it on the brighter side. If your foundation gives you a white cast or makes you seem darker, you may be using the incorrect shade. You have a neutral undertone if your veins do not match. Green veins represent a warm undertone, whilst blue veins represent a frigid undertone. Similarly, your undertone may be revealed by the veins on your wrists. Standing in the sun and analyzing your shadow might help you establish your skin tone. If you want to appear natural, choose a tint that matches your skin tone. When choosing a dewy foundation, you should also consider your skin type. The best foundations for a dewy complexion should be rich in hydrating ingredients as well as light-reflective pigments.

The structure of the monomeric subunit, N-acetyl-glucosaminyl- N-acetyl-muramyl-L-alanyl-D-glutaminyl-L-(meso)diaminopimelyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine (GlcNAc-MurNAc-L-Ala-D-Glu-L-mesoDAP-D-Ala-D-Ala), is remarkably conserved throughout the bacterial phylogenetic tree. PG is a polymer of glycan chains crosslinked by peptides. ![]() PG is present in essentially all bacteria and wraps the cytoplasmic membrane like an elastic net ( de Pedro and Cava, 2015). Therefore, morphogenesis should be viewed as a major evolutionary and adaptive process that contributes greatly to prokaryotic ubiquity and versatility.īacterial shape is primarily dictated by the peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus ( Salton and Horne, 1951 Weidel et al., 1960), a polymeric macromolecular structure that surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane and is the only “solid” element in the bacterial envelope. Shape dictates the interactions between a bacterial cell and its environment, most notably small-molecule traffic (via the surface/volume ratio), motility, formation of multicellular aggregates, habitat colonization (including eukaryotic hosts and consequently pathogenesis and symbiosis), predation, and resistance (see Young, 2006, for a comprehensive review). ![]() This is evidenced by the development of aberrant morphology upon mutations. To ensure constant bacterial morphology over generations despite these forces, shape maintenance must be an active process guided by robust regulatory circuits. Bacterial shape is genetically determined, but physical forces (internal and external) exerted on cells are increasingly recognized as major players in morphogenesis. The characteristic morphology of a bacterial species is maintained through countless generations but is periodically modified within set limits during bacterial division and life cycles (Figure 1). In addition to the well-known rods and cocci, more exotic shapes such as stars, mustaches, serpentines, and branches represent a large, although undefined, proportion ( Young, 2006 Kysela et al., 2016). The variation of bacterial cell shapes is often underappreciated. Here, we review the molecular determinants underlying morphology, discuss the evidence linking bacterial morphology to niche adaptation and pathogenesis, and examine the potential of morphological determinants as antimicrobial targets. Accumulating evidence supports critical roles of morphogenetic processes in bacteria-host interactions, including pathogenesis. Some morphological determinants act as a cytoskeleton to guide biosynthetic complexes spatiotemporally, whereas others modify the PG sacculus after biosynthesis. The species-specific shape of the PG sacculus at any time in the cell cycle is the product of multiple determinants. Bacterial morphology is ultimately dictated by the net-like peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus. Although the characteristic shape of a bacterial species remains unchanged for vast numbers of generations, periodical variations occur throughout the cell (division) and life cycles, and these variations can be influenced by environmental conditions. Shape affects critical biological functions, including nutrient acquisition, motility, dispersion, stress resistance and interactions with other organisms. Specific shapes are the consequence of adaptive pressures optimizing bacterial fitness. ![]() 2Centro de Biología Molecular “Severo Ochoa” – Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spainīacterial morphology is extremely diverse.1Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, Department of Molecular Biology, Umeå Centre for Microbial Research, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden. 8/23/2023 0 Comments New york times mini crosswords![]() He has edited countless books of crossword puzzles, Sudoku, KenKen, and all manner of brain-busters.

Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. He was the first musician to use stereophonic phasing effects in recordings. He was also one of the first guitarists to make extensive use of tone-altering effects units in mainstream rock, such as fuzz distortion, Octavia, wah-wah, and Uni-Vibe. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in popularizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier feedback. Hendrix was inspired by American rock and roll and electric blues. The world's highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before his accidental death in London from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970. The double LP was Hendrix's most commercially successful release and his first and only number one album. ![]() He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: " Hey Joe", " Purple Haze", and " The Wind Cries Mary". He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals became his manager. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville then Nashville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin' circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers' backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army, but was discharged the following year. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music." īorn in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at age 15. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. James Marshall " Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, songwriter and singer. 8/23/2023 0 Comments Scratch pad dog![]() ![]() To give your dog an herbal tea soak, fill up the tub with warm water and let several tea bags steep for three minutes.

Doves represent peace, while sparrows are a nod to the Bible verse: “Fear not, you are of more value than many sparrows.” Birds of all kinds are used to represent freedom. Hell, even an owl tattoo could look kind of cool if you play it the right way, and it’s much less expected than say a phoenix tattoo, which has been done to death. No matter its significance to you personally, you can get a skull tattoo in almost any size, colour, or style with the right artist.īirds have many different kinds of significance throughout the world, from literature to culture, tradition, religion, and myth.īirds of prey are often used to depict fierceness and independence, while peacocks signify beauty and elegance. Skull tattoos can have many meanings, such as a reminder to make your life count or a “Memento mori” – “Remember your death”. Some even incorporate cultural elements like the traditional depictions of Mexican culture. Skull tattoos are some of the most popular tattoo depictions you will see, especially on men.Ĭlassic versions tend to be simple and one-dimensional, while more modern skull body art can be three-dimensional and involve detailed shadowing and other designs. Watercolour tattoos can be any size, shape, colour, or location. Some versions, like this lion, use a combination of bright watercolours and sharp black lines to create a tattoo that is truly one-of-a-kind. You may have to find a tattoo artist specializing in this style, as it can be challenging to get right. If anything, these ultra-bright, artistic tattoos are growing in popularity for men. Moreover, there is no reason to think that men can’t get watercolour tattoos. Gone are the days when tattoos were all about simple black lines or flat colours. Photorealistic tattoos can be any size and on any part of your body but are usually favoured for larger tattoos like sleeves, shoulders, and back tattoos. ![]() You may need to search for a tattoo artist who has the skills to pull off a photorealistic tattoo, but the search is worth it. Others, like this artist, employ their skills for simpler pictures like this gorilla (although you might not want something as niche).

A leg tattoo? neck tattoo? full sleeve tattoo? arm tattoo? chest tattoo? Forearm tattoo? The amount of surface area varied greatly and will absolutely dictate what kind of tattoo you’ll be able to fit in without it looking awkwardly stretched. If how people perceive you doesn’t really matter, then you still need to think carefully about where you’re putting your tat. Invariably, women seem to crave a badass tattoo on or around the bicep, with the upper arm typically seen as the most attractive place to get inked. If you’re mostly concerned with what tattoos are hot on guys, the hottest places for male tattoos – according to women – often cite any of seven spots: shoulder tattoo, back tattoo, side tattoo, upper arm tattoo, hand tattoo, chest tattoo, and of course, lower arm tattoo. ![]() Tattoo design is as much about anatomy as it is about illustration, and the best tattoos are the ones that are strategically placed to further the personal meaning.

Even saying to yourself "yay" as you check it off helps.Ī solid application, if it was released two years ago. When you DO finish a task, give yourself a sense of enjoyment marking that task as done. If your day is too busy, reschedule tasks to a later date (life happens, this is normal). Check on your list on a daily basis to start. Last, put this app front and center on your Desktop, smart phone, and tablets. When over time, your set of tasks grow, consider adding a OmniFocus feature or two. A hyper-organized list of tasks will NOT make it easier to get them done. If you are starting out managing tasks, don't overdo it. Unlike apps such as Todoist, OmniFocus can start simple, and grow with you as your needs grow. This is why I use the term "Expert Friendly". If your set of task management grows, OmniFocus has the features that will allow handle the growth. HINT: You don't have to use every OmniFocus feature. OmniFocus gives you a number of ways to do something so YOU decide what subset of features you need to use. ![]() I have found OmniFocus to be amazingly useful. For us long-time Mac users, they're one of those developers who has stuck with the Mac, listens to their customers, and develop unique applications that you just KNOW WORKS. OmniFocus lets me prioritize and FILTER much better – and more consistently.Īnd OmniGroup is really, IMO, such a cool company worth supporting. But the result is a constant list of 50-100 tasks in "Today". Overall, in Things I end up with way too many tasks in the Today view, because everything I don't wanna forget ends up going there. This is HUGE! If you have complete a given client project before you can invoice it, there's no reason that the "send invoice for the project" shows up in your list of admin-work to do. Projects can be set as "sequential" – and you'll only see the next action in your action lists. In OmniFocus, you have true dependencies. "next actions" in Things 3 is as bad an implementation as it was in Things 2. And it's not as powerful for postponing projects, as OmniFocus' "defer-dates" feature is.ħ. Things 3 dumbed-down their "start-date" feature. They don't do anything else than visually divide your task list into sections.ĥ. You can't collapse them, to create a less cluttered view. But compared to OmniFocus' true, fantastic outlining capabilities: their usefulness is very very small. Things 3's sections/headers were a nice, welcome addition to Things 2. Immensely useful! One click, and you see your tasks from the exact perspective – filtered exactly like you've configured it.Ĥ. OmniFocus on the other hand, has Perspectives, which is like "saved searches on steroids". a tag-filtered Today view, to some project, and back again: your Today view is no longer filtered by that/those tag(s): it's back to its default view of everything. This is particularly problematic since it doesn't has tabs either. OmniGroup on the other hand offers EXCELLENT, attentive support AND listens to their users/customers.ģ. Cultured Code never listens to user feedback, let alone entice communication with their users. Things 2 had a switch for that, but 3 doesn't. No way to easily see which tasks are due and overdue. I've used previous versions of both apps for many years.ġ. After having used Things 3 for a year, I've switched to OmniFocus. |
