Ombre hair being a very popular hairstyle, is seen trending by many famous celebrities and Youtubers.

The campaigning Twitter account created a thorough thread that explained how Milani Cosmetics overstepped the line during the trial, called for people to "boycott" the brand, and asked for them to apologize. Attorney Elaine Bredehoft had suggested Heard used a certain product by Milani Cosmetics to cover bruises caused by Depp, but Milani said that the product she presented during the trial wasn't in existence until a year after the pair divorced. Please place the order on the website to get your own originally done case solution.Milani Cosmetics is the latest target of the fury of Amber Heard's supporters after they called for the company to apologize to the actress.ĭuring the recent defamation trial between Heard and her ex-husband Johnny Depp, Milani Cosmetics posted a TiKTok video that went viral, seemingly contradicting testimony presented by Heard's legal team. Instead of that, L’Oreal should need to invest to rejuvenate Plenitude’s brand image in order to attract the younger customer segment.

Shatter transformers in original8/8/2023 ![]() Because Orci and Kurtzman were concerned the film could feel like a military recruitment commercial, they chose to make the military believe nations like Iran were behind the Decepticon attack as well as making the Decepticons primarily military vehicles. Joe for the soldier characters, being careful not to mix the brands. Bay considered the first draft "too kiddie", so he increased the military's role in the story. Nonetheless, he wanted to work with Spielberg, and gained a new respect for the mythology upon visiting Hasbro. Michael Bay was asked to direct by Spielberg on July 30, 2005, but he dismissed the film as a "stupid toy movie". This was also the name of Dreamwave Productions' first Transformers comic book. Prime Directive was used as a fake working title. Furman's The Ultimate Guide, published by Dorling Kindersley, remained as a resource to the writers throughout production. The writers remained involved throughout production, adding additional dialogue for the robots during the sound mixing (although none of this was kept in the final film, which ran fifteen minutes shorter than the initial edit). Spielberg read each of Orci and Kurtzman's drafts and gave notes for improvement. The first draft also had a battle scene in the Grand Canyon. The writers felt that even if it would look silly, not having the robots speak would betray the fanbase. The Transformers had no dialogue, as the producers feared talking robots would look ridiculous. The characters of Sam and Mikaela were the sole point of view given in Orci and Kurtzman's first draft. This appealed to Orci and Kurtzman because it conveyed themes of adulthood and responsibility, "the things that a car represents in the United States". Spielberg suggested that "a boy and his car" should be the focus. Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, fans of the cartoon, were hired to rewrite the script in February 2005. ![]() John Rogers wrote the first draft, which pitted four Autobots against four Decepticons, and featured the Ark spaceship. Steven Spielberg, a fan of the comics and toys, signed on as executive producer in 2004. ![]() The treatment featured the Autobots Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Jazz, Prowl, Arcee, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Bumblebee, and the Decepticons Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble, Skywarp and Shockwave. DeSanto chose to write the treatment from a human point of view to engage the audience, while Murphy wanted it to have a realistic tone, reminiscent of a disaster film. They made the Creation Matrix their plot device, though Murphy had it renamed because of the film series The Matrix. They met with comic book writer Simon Furman, and cited the Generation 1 cartoon and comics as their main influence. Tom DeSanto joined Murphy because he was a fan of the series. launched the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Hasbro suggested adapting the Transformers franchise instead.

Arduino delay non blocking8/8/2023 ![]() with VHDL or Verilog, and combine it with a soft CPU or hard CPU on the FPGA for the firmware, depending on the FPGA. You could implement a custom frequency generator with step count etc. this 4 channel ADC with 8 bit and 10 MHz samplerate. I've done a few projects with FPGA devboards, e.g. for my entry level skill) and I have to control a display with 3 LED and 4/5 types of events and status. But in this case I would probably use a FPGA. Guide to code for multitasking and non blocking timers Asked 8 years, 8 months ago Modified 3 years, 8 months ago Viewed 15k times 0 I'm beginning to do kind of sophisticated things (well. Maybe a faster microcontroller could do it, like a STM32, which runs with more than 100 MHz depending on the type. If you want to count the steps as well, it gets complicated. There are cheap boards at eBay which you can just connect to an Arduino, and there are lots of demo projects for it on the internet. Internally it uses the same phase accumulator concept, but with a much higher clock rate, so jitter would be very low, especially at frequencies far away from the max frequency. It can generate a clock with up to 12.5 MHz, adjustable in 0.1 Hz steps. As the name implies, the Arduino will stop most of whatever it’s doing and wait for the delay()-function to finish before executing other code. Delay() is widely known as a blocking (or synchronous) function call. An alternative would be the AD9833, if you don't need to count the steps. Using delay() is not suitable for more complex projects, and this article explains a few alternatives you can use instead. But the resolution wouldn't be that fine anymore (the higher the frequency, the larger the Hz steps, because it divides the main clock by an integer). This will also result in no jitter, which is caused by the interrupt latency and the software phase accumulator implementation. The vTaskDelay () instruction pauses the task from which it is invoked, so in the case of Arduino, if I call delay () inside loop () it will pause most of the things. If you need higher frequencies, but don't need to count the individual steps, you could try the Arduino tone function, or programming the ATmega timer registers directly to avoid the gaps between consecutive tone calls. 1 Like cotestatnt October 20, 2022, 11:14am 5 Idahowalker: which is a non-blocking delay Im not sure its correct to say this. One thing i do note is that the pulse O/P seems to be jittery, regardless if original code or not. The Hi res encoder is of course part of the speed issue. At the mo the Gecko drive is set to multiply incoming pulses x 10 to get the rpm achieved.(1350). scaling but would be great if i could get 60 to 80 kHz. i have entered the tweek code as above, after fiddling with the poti*. i have to admit i did succeed at altering the pin assignments,

Counter strike source updates8/8/2023 Alone, that wouldn't be exactly solid though. NVIDIA have, in the past, accidentally let slip a number of other upcoming games that ended up being real. One thing being pointed out is how the NVIDIA driver on Windows added profiles for "csgos2.exe" and "cs2.exe", with it even being named directly as Counter-Strike 2. It's not entirely clear if this is a full new game, or a big upgrade for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive but either way it's pretty exciting for FPS fans. Added a cvar to ignore win conditions: mp_ignore_round_win_conditions.There's been a whole lot of rumours appearing lately that seem quite credible, with Counter-Strike 2 apparently due soon.If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.There's now a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.Also fixed problem in which grenading a player and then killing them with another weapon showed as '*** in 1' on console. Fixed issue in which you weren't given credit for grenade damage if you fired a weapon at someone then hit them with a grenade (in that order).Fixed issue that awarded three points when the bomb explodes after the round ends by elimination criteria instead.Added cvars sv_ladder_dampen and sv_ladder_angle. Addressed a problem that occasionally caused characters to be colored incorrectly on the Change a Class screen.Made the CT silhouette for the auto-select option in the Choose a Class screen smaller and corrected its aspect ratio.Changed the screen that appears when the message of the day fails to load to display proper error text.Added the following cvars to allow players to customize their scoreboards.Tick rate affecting the firing mechanisms of certain guns.Tick rate causing players hitting the ground to stutter.Tick rate affecting how fast doors open / close.This addressed a number of issues, including: Removed -tickrate command line option and defaulted tick rate to 66 rather than 33.Added sv_nostats cvar to turn off stats on a server.Added sv_nomvp cvar to turn off MVP stars on a server.Added sv_nonemesis cvar to turn off domination/revenge on a server.Added sv_disablefreezecam cvar to turn off the freezecam on a server.Updated source engine addresses many issues:.Many development console commands which would crash the server removed.cvar mat_showlowresimage is now a cheat command.Addressed issue in which AWPs and Scouts sometimes did not make the zooming sound.Now only a specific list of commands is allowed. Disallowed the use of arbitrary command strings for the message of the day screen.Incorporated many source engine updates.Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display.Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures. ![]()

My story isnt over tattoo8/8/2023 Like Project Semicolon says, your story isn't over.Ĭhaplain (non-duty hours) - (406) 731-3801 If you find yourself in a situation where you think you are alone and have nowhere to go and no one to turn to, please know that you do. There are a lot of resources to help us through trying times. I have decided that I will get another tattoo, that of the semicolon in solidarity of all the warriors, like myself and my colleague, who are out there. Air Force is recognizing the need to be upfront about mental health issues to include suicide and all forms of interpersonal violence. ![]() Things have really changed for people since the 1990s, and I am proud that the U.S. I developed myself into a violence prevention educator and I work as a civilian for the U.S. I have taken my own challenges, created my own support team and written my own story.Īs a survivor, I decided I wanted to be one of those people who support people having a rough time. Having a real support team, folks who are in your corner, will truly make a difference. Lately, personally, I have more downs than ups, but I've been through this before and know that with the help of my support team I will make it through.įor those who experience any form of depression, and have a bad day, week, month, etc., I am here to say there is light at the end of the tunnel and there is respite when you get there. ![]() I still get professional help to maintain mental wellness, and I find some days are harder than others, and sometimes there are experiences I go through that I would rather not. Luckily I had an awesome supervisor who put my fears in perspective and encouraged me to be courageous and get professional help, which I did. Would I lose my clearance? Would I not make rank? Would my peers and supervisors think I was no longer credible? Air Force that I realized that I needed help.īut in 1989, it was still taboo to go to mental health, and the worries and concerns overwhelming. ![]() It wasn't until I had spent a decade in the U.S. I am one of those folks that suffer from depression and anxiety, and I have since I was a child after a traumatic event. In her post she explained how depression and anxiety affected her, and how once because it was so tough, that she had to leave a job she loved to take care of herself.Īs I read more, and talked to my colleague more, I found myself identifying with this movement. The movement meant enough to my colleague that she got a semicolon tattooed on her forearm, and wrote a blog post about her own personal struggles. The project hopes for you to see that mental health issues will not stop you from living out your life or story. The semicolon can represent a point in an person's journey when they may be experiencing a serious mental health challenge like depression, and a life could have been lost, but instead they chose to fight, to continue their story, and sometimes against all odds, to live. ![]() The idea of the semicolon in writing is that when the author could have ended a sentence with a period, they instead chose to use a semicolon and continue with a thought.Īccording to Project Semicolon's website the author is you, and the sentence is your life. In essence, and with the symbolism of the semicolon, the movement brings awareness to mental health concerns and the importance of suicide prevention.Īmy Bleuel started the nonprofit in April 2013 to honor her father, who took his own life.Īccording to mission statement, Project Semicolon's goal is to encourage individuals to draw or tattoo a semicolon on themselves as a sign of solidarity and understanding that mental health issues are not in control and that you can have a wonderful life. It turns out the semicolon tattoo began as a movement on social media "dedicated to presenting hope and love to those who are struggling with depression, suicide, addiction and self-injury." She told me, "to Google project semicolon." So I did. I asked her why a semicolon? I have a few tattoos myself, but I didn't understand why she would get that. As I was preparing to write an article about suicide prevention, my supervisor came back from the holiday weekend and showed me a new tattoo.

M.c. escher tessellation art8/8/2023 Others can’t get enough and create constantly in this art form. Some show a passing interest, yet still create with a very deep understanding of the rules of symmetry. Escher started popularizing “nested shape” tessellations, many artist have dabbled in the field. This is a part of the Wikipedia article used under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA).Since M.C. The intricate decorative designs of the Alhambra, based on geometrical symmetries featuring interlocking repetitive patterns in the coloured tiles or sculpted into the walls and ceilings, triggered his interest in the mathematics of tessellation and became a powerful influence on his work. He was impressed by the Italian countryside and, in Granada, by the Moorish architecture of the fourteenth-century Alhambra. In the same year, he traveled through Spain, visiting Madrid, Toledo, and Granada. In 1922, an important year of his life, Escher traveled through Italy, visiting Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena, and Ravello. He briefly studied architecture, but he failed a number of subjects (due partly to a persistent skin infection) and switched to decorative arts, studying under the graphic artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. ![]() From 1919 to 1922, Escher attended the Haarlem School of Architecture and Decorative Arts, learning drawing and the art of making woodcuts. In 1918, he went to the Technical College of Delft. He took carpentry and piano lessons until he was thirteen years old. Although he excelled at drawing, his grades were generally poor. Known to his friends and family as "Mauk", he was a sickly child and was placed in a special school at the age of seven he failed the second grade. In 1903, the family moved to Arnhem, where he attended primary and secondary school until 1918. He was the youngest son of the civil engineer George Arnold Escher and his second wife, Sara Gleichman. Maurits Cornelis Escher was born on 17 June 1898 in Leeuwarden, Friesland, the Netherlands, in a house that forms part of the Princessehof Ceramics Museum today. In the twenty-first century, he became more widely appreciated, with exhibitions across the world. ![]() He was one of the major inspirations of Douglas Hofstadter's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1979 book Gödel, Escher, Bach.ĭespite wide popular interest, Escher was for long somewhat neglected in the art world even in his native Netherlands, he was 70 before a retrospective exhibition was held. Apart from being used in a variety of technical papers, his work has appeared on the covers of many books and albums. He traveled in Italy and Spain, sketching buildings, townscapes, architecture and the tilings of the Alhambra and the Mezquita of Cordoba, and became steadily more interested in their mathematical structure.Įscher's art became well known among scientists and mathematicians, and in popular culture, especially after it was featured by Martin Gardner in his April 1966 Mathematical Games column in Scientific American. ![]() Although Escher believed he had no mathematical ability, he interacted with the mathematicians George Pólya, Roger Penrose, Harold Coxeter and crystallographer Friedrich Haag, and conducted his own research into tessellation.Įarly in his career, he drew inspiration from nature, making studies of insects, landscapes, and plants such as lichens, all of which he used as details in his artworks. His work features mathematical objects and operations including impossible objects, explorations of infinity, reflection, symmetry, perspective, truncated and stellated polyhedra, hyperbolic geometry, and tessellations. Escher, was a Dutch graphic artist who made mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. Maurits Cornelis Escher (Dutch pronunciation: 17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972), or commonly M.

This means it will probably rain or snow, but if the forecast is right, we want you to hang out with us. The extended forecast looks AMAZING (44F to 66F). Hang out! We have live bluegrass music from Rollin’ Coal, hot soup from Logan’s Roadhouse, grilled hot dogs, and showers for campers. Take a poop in one of our amazing porta pottys. WHAT TO PACK: Most races are like a basketball game. There are very limited options for fuel near the park. You are a mile away from the park entrance, just look for 1013 head lights (someone has a headlight out), and go that way. you are just a little stupid (we mean that in a loving way). If you arrive at the Main Park Office and do not see any runners, don't panic. Do your research BEFORE starting to drive on Saturday morning. Medoc Mountain State Park is not the easiest place to find. The park road is part of mile 1 and will be closed. ![]() Even if you are running the 5 Miler, we still want you there well before 8:10 am. If you arrive late, we will park you by the campground dump station and make you volunteer emptying the poop from the RVs. ![]() Visit the Medoc Mountain State Park page for address information. Not exactly sure what we have in storage but we know we have some pint glasses, high quality sling bags, colorful fleece blankets, and some hoodie tees too.ĭIRECTIONS AND ARRIVAL: The race will start with or without you. STUFF FOR SALE: BRING CASH! We have some old Medoc items to sell. Plus they are moderately funny, if you have a weird sense of humor. By running the Medoc Trail Races, you agree to abide by these rules and the race waiver. RACE RULES AND FAQS: Be sure to review the Race Rule and FAQS on the race website prior to the race.

NOT COMING?: If you know you are not coming and no one is picking up your shirt, please let us know. You can swap, if available, after the races have begun. If it says XXL for your shirt and you weigh 85 pounds, we are sorry but that is what the volunteers will give you at packet pick up. Please note we do not change your information. Someone always makes an error when they sign up. RUNNER LIST: We have an updated list of runners online. Our dining rooms get full of boxes the weeks before the race, and as soon as it is over we put stuff in storage and try to get back to our families. ![]() We are a volunteer team who do this race because we love trail runners. MAILING STUFF: Sorry, guys, but we don’t mail anything out. We are starting from scratch and hope you will like and follow us again: Click Me! There is a prize if you read to the end.įACEBOOK: It is a long story, but our Facebook page was wiped out from Facebook, so 4,000 followers and 15 years of memories are now gone. Either way, you have some fun reading ahead of you, so grab your new Galaxy Flip Phone and head to the bathroom for some good reading! (you’re not fooling us – we know you read on the toilet). If you are a repeat runner you should read too as we have tried to refresh some of our dad jokes, and there is likely something important for you to take in as well.
