Buildings aren’t really my specialty, but i decided to accept this commission because first, I wanted to try some stuff out of my comfort zone. Just last 2 weeks, i guess? I felt really depressed about how stagnant i was and with the help of my great, great internet friends, i was able to feel better. Though i knew it would be really hard when the commissioner told me the details of her request, plus the added pressure of the fact that this is going to be their magazine cover, i thought there’d be no better opportunity to push myself to do better, so yeah, i took it. I think i’m starting to move forward again and it’s good.
2nd, well, i need the money and they’re going to pay well. There’s these shoes i wanted to buy and i’m planning to try painting with oil and gouache this sem break and i’d need money to buy new materials.
Lastly, i have nothing better to do anyways. I do have a few schoolwork to think about but i’m not doing it until the last minute anyways. And i’m way too distracted about the turmoils of my interpersonal relationships and thinking of schoolwork isn’t helping. I’ve been depressed for quite a while, even a little up until now. After my exboyfriend left me and our mutual friends excluded me, i’ve been a wreck. Thankfully, i found out who my real friends are, and then commissions and opportunities to grow are coming and i get the proper distraction i need.
Apologies for the drama again ; A; if you’ve read this far, thank you so much. I’ll do my best to not mess this up (i’ll do something about those windows *A*). Wish me luck! *u*
I really tried making this tutorial (I aM SO HORRIBLE AT MAKING TUTORIAL SO PLEASE DON’T ASK ME TO MAKE ONE FOR YOU LMAO….*turns head*)
I’ve been getting a lot of messages on how to paint w/gouache…so here’s a step by step process on how I paint gouache. You can find what kind of brands I use on my about me page (you just need to scroll down and you’ll find it)
Also for the palette I use. I highly recommend this palette! Why? Because you can save your gouache (or acrylics)…and the special palette paper absorbs the water from the sponge (and it lasts pretty long…like about five weeks?)
If you have any questions, please message me lol……
I am so trying this out onour semester break.
3 more weeeks ; A;
I’ve come a long way.
Well, I guess I’ve been improving after all :))
I need a scanner T^T
For quite some time now, I can’t help but feel stagnant as an artist. Like I’ve lost all motivation and inspiration, and I don’t know which to blame. I still feel the need to draw though, since I don’t know what else I should and can be if not an artist. I am also aware that I still have a lot of potential; there’s so much room to grow.
But it’s like I’ve stopped growing.
I don’t know. Maybe it’s just that I’m scared of my own incompetence?
Most people around me are very supportive and they all believe in my talent. I appreciate all those, don’t get me wrong. I still get happy whenever people compliment my works. But it’s like, I feel impatient. Like, I feel that can do better, and yet when I hold a pencil and stare at the blankness of the paper, I freeze.
I don’t have ideas.
Whenever I try and search for inspiration, I only end up being frustrated instead of being inspired. I think about those people who are so creative, and I’m still here stuck at doing the same things over again. The same safe things. I want to get out of my comfort zone, but I feel boxed, i feel imprisoned. I feel like I can’t. I’m starting to get scared that I might not be as good as I thought I can be.
I feel like Colin Singleton. (If anyone reading this have read An Abundance of Katherines by John Green, you’ll get where I’m coming from) I don’t know if this is still an Artist’s Block; maybe something even worse, but I just want to stop feeling this way.
DAY 5: YOUR FAVORITE FAIRY TALE: SHREK
orz this is a super late upload. //slapped//
sorry i have a lot going on T^T
Anyways, Shrek is technically a fairy tale right? I was actually torn between this one and Wicked,since I loved both of them equally, but I’ve done fanarts on Wicked before so I decided to give Shrek some love this time.
This was originally done in watercolors but like what i always do with my photos, I added filters to make it look um, cleaner i guess? I don’t know.
And I just love that papercut effect.
Late upload. ^.^
Since the new semester started, me and two of my siblings moved to our grandma’s house which is nearer to the school to save transpo fare, but since there’s no internet connection there, i haven’t been able to go online (and the connection home isn’t any better so -.-)
Anyways, i enjoyed doing this one. I don’t always paint out my feelings (because idk how, i struggle at getting my shit together), but idk, it came randomly. After a clean break-up (too clean to let go) , i just had to transfer my feelings somewhere so.

The exhibition explores art in the age of artificial intelligence, from aesthetic experiments to critical reflections and future predictions. It took place at the AI conference CogX 2018 between 11-12 June 2018. The exhibition artists play with the latest AI techniques, testing their creative potential for representing the human form, understanding an artist’s drawing style and developing a new machine aesthetic. They imagine a future where AIs become improvisation partners, cat governors and mystic prophecy machines. Yet they also reflect on AI now and the issues of human labour and the machine-centric interpretation of the world.
The exhibition included works by artists Libby Heaney, Gene Kogan, Mario Klingemann, Sarah Meyohas, Sascha Pohflepp, Fabrizio Poltronieri, Anna Ridler, Mike Tyka and Pinar Yoldas.
Press coverage includes Forbes.

Knowing your risk factors and living healthfully are the best things you can do to prevent a TIA. Included in a healthy lifestyle are regular medical checkups. Also:
- Don't smoke. Stopping smoking reduces your risk of a TIA or a stroke.
- Limit cholesterol and fat. Cutting back on cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat and trans fat, in your diet may reduce buildup of plaques in your arteries.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. These foods contain nutrients such as potassium, folate and antioxidants, which may protect against a TIA or a stroke.
- Limit sodium. If you have high blood pressure, avoiding salty foods and not adding salt to food may reduce your blood pressure. Avoiding salt may not prevent hypertension, but excess sodium may increase blood pressure in people who are sensitive to sodium.
- Exercise regularly. If you have high blood pressure, regular exercise is one of the few ways you can lower your blood pressure without drugs.
- Limit alcohol intake. Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all. The recommended limit is no more than one drink daily for women and two a day for men.
- Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight contributes to other risk factors, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Losing weight with diet and exercise may lower your blood pressure and improve your cholesterol levels.
- Don't use illicit drugs. Drugs such as cocaine are associated with an increased risk of a TIA or a stroke.
- Control diabetes. You can manage diabetes and high blood pressure with diet, exercise, weight control and, when necessary, medication.

For today’s article, I want to highlight an area that I love investing in. Fitzgerald area in Detroit is fast becoming one of Detroit’s “go-to” suburbs. The city of Detroit have but together a plan to revitalise the entire area. Read on for more details and click the link below for the full story. Very apt given today’s – Deal of the Week as well! This is also an area we are heavily invested in and helping with the revitalisation.
The vision for the Fitzgerald Revitalization Project is to transform a quarter square mile area by addressing every publicly owned vacant lot and house. Removing blighted structures, beautifying vacant lots and creating homes for new residents will contribute to stabilization, increased property values, and improved quality of life. The City of Detroit has developed a three-part implementation strategy to create a sustainable model for transforming and maintaining all parcels within the Fitzgerald Project Area:
Creation of a neighborhood park and greenway to be maintained by the Parks and Recreation Department
Development of economically self-sustaining, productive landscapes in partnership with one or more Productive Landscape Developers or Development Teams (Productive Landscape Development RFP)
Rehabilitation of all salvageable, publicly-owned structures and implementation of low-maintenance landscape strategies in partnership with a Housing Developer (Housing Rehabilitation RFP).
The Fitzgerald Project Area identified within the larger Fitzgerald neighborhood was selected for this pilot because of the concentration of publicly-owned vacant lots and homes. This smaller project area also allows for the overall impact to be focused in a walkable, quarter-square mile area.
To start the project, the City of Detroit commissioned an award-winning landscape architecture firm, Spackman Mossop & Michaels (SMM), to work with the residents of the Fitzgerald Project Area to create a Neighbourhood Framework Plan. SMM assessed the range of existing conditions and created a flexible, interstitial landscape plan to activate and improve vacant land parcels in a way that addresses every publicly-owned parcel in the project area. The plan incorporated feedback from residents on current neighbourhood issues as well as amenities and uses they would like to see in their neighbourhood. The plan provides a framework that balances the needs for greater open space, community gathering and recreation, opportunities to develop new productive landscape projects, and the sustainability of long-term maintenance.

De Blasio is announcing Saturday that Harry Belafonte, Sarah Jessica Parker, Steve Buscemi, Susan Sarandon, Rose Perez and Russell Simmons are among the celebrities who are helping organize the festivities surrounding the inauguration.
Gabrielle Fialkoff was named the inauguration chairwoman. Fialkoff, the president of a jewelry company, served as finance chairwoman for de Blasio’s successful runs for public advocate and mayor.
More than 50 supporters will serve on the committee that will plan celebrations in all five of the city’s boroughs.
He is expected to name the first members of his administration within the next week.

Top Critic Average
Constantly testing, endlessly fun
If you are a Switch owner and have even a passing interest in racing games, then GRID Autosport is a title you must have in your game library.
GRID Autosport is almost in a class of its own on the Nintendo Switch. The game is one of the best looking Switch games and is the best racing simulator experience available on the console. While games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Crash Team Racing lead the system's kart racing options–GRID Autosport has shot to the top of the list if you want to race in real-world environments. The level of care that Feral has put into the Switch version is apparent with even more options to come. If you're in the market for a racing sim to take on-the-go, you can't do any better than GRID Autosport.
GRID Autosport is the nearest we've come to a TOCA Race Driver 4 and its lineage shows. Varied disciplines, edge-of-the-seat racing, rampantly aggressive AI and a terrific sense of speed add up to deliver an effortlessly good racing game. What GRID Autosport lacks in flair it more than makes up for on the track and, while there's a certain Groundhog Day feel to proceedings, on a minute by minute basis Codemasters' racer excels.
No flashy new features or buzzwords, just magnificent racing stemming from a refinement of Grid 1's greatness.
GRID Autosport, despite not being a new game, rightfully becomes the best driving simulator on Nintendo Switch. Technically commendable, loaded with content, and with great care that the Feral boys have put in the game, and they continue to put it into the game. It lacks the multiplayer mode, and obviously this has an impact on the score, but the developer has announced that they are working in it, so the title becomes a must for lovers of simulation in the system, although the game is also friendly with the new users.
Review in Spanish | Read full review
Grid Autosport promised proper motor racing and that's exactly what it delivers. The spirit of TOCA is finally back.
Even with a not so strong career mode, the racing can still be fun.
Five styles of driving all done justice with one of the most violent and emergent racing engines available make GRID Autosport a compelling title for both car enthusiasts and petrol heads alike. Even if your interest in cars is merely fleeting, GRID Autosport juggles realism and aggressive satisfaction to deliver an intoxicating mix somewhere between the joy of an arcade racer and the science of a true sim. Excellent.
Despite some issues with the Switch's controller restrictions, GRID Autosport is a fantastic port that sets the bar for the realistic racers on Nintendo's hybrid console.

President John Mahama has attributed the progress of Ghana since independence to all the people who have led this country and the generality of Ghanaians for where Ghana has gotten to.
‘This country is moving forward and if we are able to count blessings and the successes we have then we can build further on those successes,’ said President Mahama.
According to him the Germans have built their country because they have a strong believe that after the world war and everything were destroyed they could rebuilt their country and made it what they could be pride of.
‘If we Ghanaians could have kind of enthusiasm and the zeal the Germans have and believe in our country and stop petty ethnic and partisan division am sure that our country will move further. And I have said that every Ghanaian President has done his share,’ he added.
President Mahama said this when he interacted with Ghanaian diaspora in Germany. This took place when the German government invited President Mahama for a visit.
After meeting the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other German dignitaries President Mahama decided to have discussion with Ghanaians in Germany and briefed them on what was going on in Ghana.
‘Indeed the job President Nkrumah faced was very difficult because that was independence and he had to start the whole ball rolling. President Busia came and continued. Event those who came during military era contributed something toward the development of this country of ours,’ he stated, adding that however bad a government is it contributes to moving the nation forward and other people takeover and continue also.
He told the gathering that from 1992 when Ghana went into Fourth Republic President Rawlings began and set the ball rolling. ‘If we take 1992 as our landmark stage President Rawlings moved the country to a certain stage and handed over to President Kuffuor. President Kuffuor continued from where President Rawlings left off. He also moved the country to another stage and after that late Professor Evans Atta Mills also moved the country to another level and I also came too continued,’ he added.
‘We are doing our best to move the country to a next stage and somebody us will take over and continue to move the country forward,’ he alluded.
‘Any time you are in control and leading all responsibilities for everything that happens is yours. The blame game will not take us anywhere and that is why I avoid blaming anything on the past or any leader. That leader existed in his time,’ he reiterated.
President Mahama said society continues to improve and gives you the tools on which you can move faster. He noted that he is able to move this country faster because of what the past Presidents handed over to him. And by the time another President comes he will be able to move the country faster because the ball has started rolling already.
He informed the Ghanaians in Germany that Presidents and other high level delegations meet those in diaspora in order to address them what is going on in Ghana. Even though those in diaspora maybe aware of what is going on back home more than him, he said there are good information and misinformation about Ghana.
‘Not everything you read on the internet is the true picture about Ghana. It might form some perception about what government is doing with regard to policy that is miscommunicated in a way that makes you think that the government is wicked and it’s punishing the country and that is absolutely false,’ he emphasized.
‘Everybody who is in politic wants to gain credit for having moved the country to a certain distance. Why would I undertake policies that will hurt my own country when I have to go back after four years and ask a new mandate from my people? But it is how it’s communicated that makes it bad to some of we Ghanaians abroad,’ he told Ghanaians in Germany.
‘All of us want the best for our country but we differ in how we think we can achieve that best. But it is only interaction and discussions that we can find common ground to move our country forward,’ he appealed.
He touched on the discussion with the IMF and how it will help us stabilize the economy, challenges facing the economy and other important issues concerning the country.
He thanked the Ghanaians resident and all the Ghanaian traditional rulers in Germany for the enthusiastic welcome they gave him and his team to the Germany.
He said his visit to was a state invitation by the German government is honour to all Ghanaians as a result of recognising the progress Ghana is making.
He said the relationship between the two countries has been close for many years. The bilateral relations between Ghana and Germany started in 1961 and cumulatively Germany in a bilateral cooperation has injected as much as 1.37 billion euro into Ghana’s economy through various projects that have taken place in the country.
The visit has been very successful and I think it has moved the relations between the Ghana and Germany to a whole new level.

I know it’s a tall order, but I’m up for the task.
When I was in my early twenties, I remember saying to myself that I would never work for someone else. The idea of working for someone else’s dream and nest egg didn’t sit well with me. However, my initial steps to gain work experience led me to just that, working for “the man” from nine to five. I worked for a couple of investment firms before changing industries. Each job I got paid more than the previous and came with more benefits and responsibilities. Who cared if upper management spoiled and praised themselves, my salary and career prospects were promising or so I thought.
The Bitter Truth
My experiences as an employee started to sour about three years into the last company I worked. I could write a novel about why and the many observations I made, but here are a few of the highlights (low points):
- I wasn’t in full control of my career prospects, lifestyle, and income potential. These critical factors were highly influenced by my bosses, their bosses, human resources, company politics, and so forth. None of these parties were any more qualified than me to determine my career path and following their directions led to disappointing outcomes. Also, I likely received a lower salary than my colleagues due to my race and height (FYI – I’m 5,8). North America offers many wonderful opportunities, but being a minority has its wealth and income equality drawbacks.
- Merit can play a large or small role depending on the company. It plays a lesser role in highly political and complacent work environments where it’s more about whose ass you kiss rather than what you achieve. People of a certain ilk were likely to get higher paying frontline positions whereas those of a different ilk (the group I fit into apparently) were often limited to support and back office roles. Suffice it to say, many colleague promotions left me scratching my head and disheartened.
- Bosses, rightfully or wrongfully, have an enormous impact on your work-life experience. I started out with good bosses but then hit a string of bad luck. The latter set were nice people, but they were incompetent and had succumbed to the Peter Principle. Being managed by unqualified managers was difficult and stressful, which only made matters worse. Also, I witnessed how toxic some managers were to their teams.
- Don’t fool yourself, it’s you against the world. We have to promote and campaign for ourselves on an ongoing basis to get noticed and climb the corporate ladder. Since I had to do these things, I figured there was more to gain through self-employment where the rewards are much greater.
- You’re one recession, reorg or disgruntled boss away from being let go. Despite the team building getaways and company parties, I never believed, nor had reason to believe, that I was more than just a number or cog in the wheel working for a group of nameless, faceless, and unreachable powers. Irrespective of how great and valuable you think you are to a company, nobody is safe from being handed a pink slip with or without sufficient reason (companies usually concoct a least one reason to protect themselves from lawsuits).
- The root of wealth inequality permeates the nine to five employer-employee construct. The wealth gap between C-Suite executives and their employees has reached historical highs. This is due in part to income stagnation through inflation rate raises, otherwise known as sucker rate raises, that keep the 99% in an illusionary state of moving forward. For example, if prices have increased by 2% over the past year and you receive a 2% raise, your raise has only kept pace with inflation. A big picture mindset would suggest you’ve fallen behind. Also, C-Suite executives tend to reward themselves (or get rewarded by their BOD) more shares than their results justify, e.g., Jeff Immelt of GE and Marissa Mayer of Yahoo, which widens wealth inequality.
- Putting random people together doesn’t work most of the time. Within your company, 70% of employees are disengaged, 90% do only enough not to get fired, and 2% are passionate about what they do if you’re lucky. This is not a recipe for success or career satisfaction, but for disaster paved with mediocrity and constant bullshit. “Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.” – George Carlin
Would I ever work for or with others again in a full on company setting? Probably not, but you never know when an amazing opportunity will surface to further my career and lifestyle prospects. If that day ever comes, I’ll be more aware of what the experience entails, for instance, the queen bee, worker bee model rewards the vital few and punishes the trivial many. Thus, the majority of employees won’t come close to fulfilling their full potential by working for someone else. That’s a major drawback regarding employment which keeps me motivated to stay self-employed.
“Your answer lies beyond the search for light.” – Anonymous
A New Hope
In 2010, I made the transition to self-employment, and I entered without a safety net or trust fund. I was afforded no luxuries or unusual opportunities. I considered my options and decided to pursue financial advising. I love investing so I thought it would be a good fit. About two years in, I realized that most financial advisors are salespeople disguised as investment stewards. The financial industry is full of brilliant marketers who know that the title of salesperson wouldn’t go over well with millions of unsuspecting investors. Therefore, clever titles such as financial advisor, investment funds advisor and others do a better job of concealing foolish advice and conflicts of interest.
At heart, I’m not a client-chasing salesperson and as a financial advisor, you don’t work for yourself, but for a massive industry as a product pusher, so I decided it wasn’t for me. I did, however, realize the error of my ways and had designed a practice based on conflict-free fee-only advice (try saying that 10x fast). I am proud that I was able to help many clients with their financial and lifestyle goals.
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” – Mark Twain
The discovery of “our why” or purpose is essential to attract the life and income we desire. When I first started my self-employment journey, I went into sales through financial advisory. Self-employment was the right path, but selling was the wrong direction. I self-corrected by thinking more about my interests and what I enjoy. Matching my interests with my work activities has produced many positive results. Furthermore, “our why” may not be static, but dynamic. What drives you today may or may not motivate you forever. Thus, stay open and ensure your why always matches your lifestyle and work.
“A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.” – Jean de La Fontaine
In a quest to be truly self-employed and my own boss, I fully embrace what I am today as a content creator and online marketer. I do run a sales driven business, but sales occur indirectly through savvy marketing and various e-commerce channels as opposed to direct selling, which I prefer. Also, I experience real freedom daily.
It hasn’t been easy and it’s taken some time to adapt while pivoting is commonplace, but I control when, where, and how I work, and strive for life I desire. I greatly influence my income through my efforts yielding a higher correlation between input and results. Stupid, unqualified bosses and colleagues I don’t want to speak with are experiences of the past. Rampant inequality, petty politics, wasteful meetings, and ass kissing are nonexistent.
There you have it, a snapshot of my story to date, and that’s just the career piece. I won’t go too deeply into lifestyle except to say that you should develop or have a crystal clear, yet realistic vision of what you’re trying to achieve. My minimalist way of living is very much what I want it to be i.e. a nice place to live, occasional travel, freedom from debt, modern conveniences, and exciting food adventures.
I’m not one of those online workers who displays monthly income reports or brags about having a mansion or Lamborghini for career/social proof to get people to buy into me. If you’re looking for that, those individuals are easy to find on YouTube. The accomplishments I’m most proud don’t concern income or possessions, but rather traversing the globe in search of meaning and indelible moments.
We live in a zero-sum world in that someone’s gain is another person’s loss, e.g., for someone to get 51% of the pizza the other must get 49%. I hope you explore at least some of your self-employment self, and I’ll be here sharing my experiences for your benefit.

Hiding jokes, goofs and gags in programs, commonly known as Easter eggs, is a popular form of ‘entertainment’ programmers like to indulge themselves in. Google is pretty good in this department. Little tricks are found aplenty on Google’s various products and subtle jokes show up when performing search on innocent keywords.
An entirely different kind of Easter egg found on a large number of websites is based on what is commonly knows as the Konami Code.
The Konami Code, is a cheat code that appears in many video games published by Konami Corporation, a leading Japanese game developer and publisher, although the code also appears in some non-Konami games. During gameplay the player can press a sequence of buttons – the Konami code – to enable the game cheats.
Soon website developers began implementing this code within a website. When a visitor enters the Konami code on the site, the joke is revealed. Many popular sites are known to have the Konami Easter egg.
For instance, go to Newsweek.com and type the Konami code – Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Enter – and the stories are replaced with news about an impending zombie attack.
When you are logged in on Google Reader and at the Home page, enter the code to reveal a Ninja. On GameSpot, entering the code will take you to the cheat code page on Contra, a game that popularized the Konami code.
Various sites had implemented the Konami code in the past but had taken it down. Examples of this includes Facebook, that added a lens-flare effect to the page and ESPN that showed an invasion of unicorns and rainbows. It’s no longer available but you can watch the intense effect below.
You can find many Konami code sites on Wikipedia.

KUWAIT CITY, April 13, (KUNA): World Bank Chief Executive Officer Kristilina Georgieva announced on Friday an exceptional award handed to His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah in recognition of his support of economic and social development worldwide, and global peace.
This came at a press conference announcing the award in Washington DC, attended by representative of His Highness the Amir, Finance Minister Dr Nayef Al-Hajraf. This is another recognition by an international organization of His Highness the Amir’s endeavors to helping people and countries in need. The UN named His Highness the Amir a “Humanitarian Leader” in September 2014.
Georgieva revealed World Bank Vice-President for the Middle East and North Africa Ferid Belhaj would be visiting Kuwait on April 28-30 to present an official commemoration to His Highness the Amir in person. The occasion is unprecedented and is the first time the World Bank bestows such recognition upon a world leader.
It comes in appreciation for His Highness the Amir’s globally-recognised role in supporting political, economic and social stability in addition to his tireless efforts in assisting people in need around the world. His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah congratulated His Highness the Amir for the award.
The World Bank honoring deservedly crowned the march of giving and humanitarian efforts of His Highness the Amir and the generous people of Kuwait across the Arab and Muslim nations and worldwide, His Highness the Crown Prince wrote in a cable to His Highness the Amir. The world’s most prestigious organizations recognized His Highness the Amir as an icon of peace and humanitarian action, he said. His Highness the Crown Prince expressed pride in the leadership of His Highness the Amir who affirmed the eminent status of the State of Kuwait at the international level.
Minister of Amiri Diwan Sheikh Ali Jarrah Al-Sabah expressed, on behalf of His Highness the Amir, gratitude to the World Bank for offering this special award in recognition of his support to social and economic development in the Arab region and beyond.
The World Bank honoring reaffirms the eminent status of His Highness the Amir and the State of Kuwait in the eyes of the international community and comes in recognition of relentless efforts to foster humanitarian causes at the regional and international levels, the minister said. He cited the numerous humanitarian initiatives launched by His Highness the Amir to alleviate the suffering of needy people in crisis-hit areas. His Highness the Amir is deeply grateful for the World Bank Group’s kind and unprecedented award, and is looking forward to the visit of Belhaj to Kuwait later this month to present the official commemoration, the minister added. Parliament Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim said the award “is yet another international recognition of His Highness the Amir’s humanitarian work.”
He said His Highness the Amir dealt with politics as a mean of helping others, and boosting cooperation and transparency. His Highness the Amir has been focusing on “the human being and his suffering … and the humanitarian intervention policy in addition to development policies for many developing countries … which have been highly recognized by international institutions,” said Al-Ghanim.


Bharti Airtel has acquired Aircel’s 4G spectrum in eight circles for Rs. 3,500 crore in a deal that will enable the telecom operator to offer 4G services in all 22 circles of the country. The deal comes ahead of the mega launch of telecom services by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio, which until now was the only player with pan-Indian 4G airwaves. Airtel has done three acquisitions over the last two-three years to pitch itself against the Ambani juggernaut.
For Aircel, this signals a possible consolidation with the Reliance Communication-MTS combine. Talks between Aircel and RCom for a possible merger have been interrupted due to high debt on the books of both the operators. While Aircel can now retire some of its Rs. 20,000 crore debt, RCom has been trying to sell its tower assets to pare its debt.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the warning letter to the Taiwan-headquartered firm following an inspection of its manufacturing facility in Taipei City from September 11 to 15, 2017.
According to the FDA, Polaroisin released a finished over-the-counter (OTC) drug product without testing for the identity of active ingredients and excipients.
The FDA said the firm’s reply – received on October 6, 2017 – was unsatisfactory.
“Your response does not specify how you will conduct assay analysis to verify the strength and identity of your OTC drug product prior to release,” said the Administration.
The FDA told the firm to “commit to testing each incoming lot of raw materials for identity.”
Further, Polaroisin lacked an ongoing control monitoring programme to ensure consistent drug quality, said the FDA.
“In your response, you stated that you need additional time to develop training for your employees,” said the Agency.
“Your response is inadequate as you failed to address your lack of process validation prior to distribution of drugs and your lack of a plan to validate your manufacturing process,” it added.
“Drugs, not cosmetics”
According to the Agency, the firm also said it plans to follow the “cosmetics production standard” when making the OTC drug product.
“If you market your OTC drug product in the US, this drug product must be manufactured in accordance with cGMP standards for drugs, not cosmetics,” said the Agency.
The FDA placed Polaroisin on Import Alert 66-40 on January 8, 2018, and advised the firm seek advice from a consultant to “assist your firm in meeting drug cGMP requirements.”

Civil Engineering Magazine Puts New Engineering Building in the Spotlight
The article details the building's features, including a performing arts space, a conference center, 60-foot long bridge and solar panels that can generate 140 kW of energy. It also details the building's contents, including labs, art studios and a massive robotics mill.
“We are putting four seemingly disparate disciplines together here, and it is just great to think about what the outcome could be ten, ﬁfteen, twenty years from now,” Seible told the magazine. “We have had great interactions with our colleagues from the visual arts. It is absolutely marvelous to see what already in a very short period of time the catalysts can be when you bring these different disciplines together and you have these shared spaces in the new building.”
The November issue of the magazine is not online yet, but here is the publication's URL: http://civil-engineering.asce.org/

Connections severs ties with politicians
Connections Community Support Services, Delaware's largest behavioral health provider which has been criticized for its closeness to Wilmington politicians, said it will no longer employ elected officials and candidates.
That new policy starts immediately with the departure last month of Wilmington City Council President Hanifa Shabazz and former Councilman Darius J. Brown.
The nonprofit wants to avoid situations that might "detract from our mission and impact the people we serve," Connections spokesman Adam Taylor said in a statement.
The loss of employment for Brown and Shabazz follows a News Journal report that Brown, who is running for state Senate, has $60,000 in state and federal liens for unpaid income taxes.
In the story, Connections was put in a defensive position by explaining the problems occurred when Brown was a contractor in charge of paying his own taxes, not an employee with income withholdings.
The nonprofit was already in the process of reviewing its conflict of interest policy when the news broke, Taylor said.
"Last week’s story brought to light something that was not previously disclosed to us by a high profile employee, which caused a significant distraction from our mission," he said.
"As part of our ongoing review, we made a decision to no longer employ anyone with a potential conflict of interest, including elected officials or candidates who are running for public office, whose activities outside of work could cause a public perception that is contrary to our mission.”
Connections had over 1,600 employees and brought in $114 million in revenue in 2016, according to its most recent publicly available tax filing. The organization has been criticized in the past for its relationship to politicians including Shabazz, Brown and former Councilman Michael A. Brown, Sr.
On council, all three officials made decisions favorable to their then-employer, The News Journal reported in 2013. Each voted to approve thousands in grant money to Connections. Michael Brown, who joined the nonprofit as a residential manager three years into his term, suggested legislation that would shield the nonprofit from nuisance violations, archives show.
Shabazz was a business and workforce development manager, according to her LinkedIn page. She started working at Connections in 2010 when she was a District 4 council member. Darius Brown was most recently the vice president of constituent services and also started working for Connections in 2010, according to the nonprofit.
Darius Brown represented council District 3 at the same time he was a registered lobbyist for Connections.
Council positions are part-time jobs that pay about $28,000, according to salary data from March. The council president, also part-time, makes $35,650, the data show.
Darius Brown did not respond to a request for comment.
In 2013, Councilwoman Loretta Walsh said ethics complaints should be filed.
"They more than cross the line," she said then, but later toned down her criticism.
Connections CEO Cathy McKay said at the time her intention in hiring Wilmington politicians was not for political gain.
"I have no ability to influence what they do, and I don't want to influence what they do when they're working in their capacity (as council members)," she said.
During that time, Shabazz, Brown and Brown, Sr. all signed filed notarized documents with the city certifying they have no conflicts of interest.
Shabazz again signed that form at the beginning of her term as president.
In her current role, Shabazz planned to meet McKay and Darius Brown at least once in the city council office to help her employer, according to an emailed meeting invitation for June 9, 2017, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request last year.
The email states the plan was to discuss an "ACS Homeless Youth grant" with "President Shabazz, Connections (Cathy McKay and Darius Brown) and Bill Larson (Law Department) regarding federal grant application being considered by Connections and how the City can collaborate/assist."
McKay did not attend the meeting and "has no knowledge that any such meeting ever took place," Taylor said. Connections did not apply for the grant that was referenced and has not applied for or received money from Wilmington "in many years," according to Taylor.
Shabazz said she recalls meeting with Darius Brown, not McKay, but that nothing ever came of it. She wouldn't comment on Connections' new ban on politicians or her feelings about potential conflicts other than to say it was "never the case" that her dual titles were a problem.
"My position as president is a part-time job, and I still have to have a full-time job to live," she said. "I do my best to ensure there is not a conflict of interest."
Connections "cannot and will not" comment on specific personnel matters, Taylor said but added the organization is sensitive to the fact that "people need to have income and feed their families."
"At the same time, when conflicts arise, employers need to take steps to rectify them," he said. "When this occurs, it is our preference and a common practice of employers to resolve the issue through a mutual separation agreement if possible and appropriate.”
It is unclear if Darius Brown or Shabazz signed such an agreement or if they will.

A few days ago, Ellie Goulding dropped her latest single (possibly off a new upcoming album) featuring Tinie Tempah. The electro cover over Active Child is completely different from the sound she’s gone for on her album Lights. From the falsetto to the beats that hit harder, the sound is completely new. It’s definitely a sound I’m interested in seeing where she may take it. The song is all about that person who you know is killing you on the inside but that you’re trying to keep for various reasons. It’s a feeling I’ve come to know much about the last little while. You can download the track here.

The lord of the flies- symbols essays Symbolism is something that stands for or suggests something else. William Golding uses symbolism to create an intricate writing of great depth. Yet there are many symbols in the novel Lord of the Flies. There are four main symbols: the conch, the Beast, Lord of the Flies and the characters (Ralph, Jack, Simon, Piggy). The conch is one of the main symbols that Golding introduces in the novel. The conch shell is the first important discovery that Ralph and Piggy found on the island.

Dramatic irony is a drama technique in which the audience knows something that the character doesn't. Because of this understanding, the words and actions of the characters take on a different meaning. This can create intense suspense or humor, depending on the writer's intention. Take a look at these examples of dramatic irony in plays, films and everyday life.
Examples of Dramatic Irony
Dramatic irony is one of the most effective types of irony because it makes the audience feel helpless to change the outcome. There are many examples of dramatic irony in literature, movies, television and fairy tales. Some examples include:
- A woman thinks her boyfriend is acting strangely because he's about to propose, but the audience knows that he is planning to run away with another woman, intensifying emotions.
- In a scary movie, the character goes into a house they think is empty, but the audience knows the killer is in the house. This increases the suspense.
- Sometimes a person is in disguise and the other character talks with him as if he is someone else. Since this is known by the audience, it adds to the humor of the dialogue.
- In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the audience knows Juliet is in a drugged sleep, so when Romeo thinks she is dead and kills himself (followed by Juliet doing the same) it increases the audience's shock and sense of helplessness.
- In Ibsen's A Doll's House, the audience knows Nora borrowed money forging her father's signature and her husband is unaware. We also know Nora's husband thinks of her as a doll and Nora is unaware.
- In Shakespeare's Hamlet, we are aware that Hamlet knows the truth about his father's murder and that Hamlet is not mad. He is simply deceiving others so that he can plan his revenge. He does not reveal his true feelings to the other characters but the audience is fully aware of them.
- In Shakespeare's King Lear, we know that Lear's most loyal daughter is Cordelia and he can't see it.
- In the Star Wars movies, Luke does not know Darth Vader is his father until Episode V, but the audience knows sooner (if they've seen Episodes I, II and III).
- In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the audience knows that Macbeth is planning Duncan's murder while acting loyal to him.
- In the TV show Smallville, Clark Kent comments that in the future he does not want to put on a suit and fly around but the audience knows he will.
- In the movie There's Something About Mary, the audience knows that Ted is being interrogated about a murder but Ted thinks he is being arrested for picking up a hitchhiker. His words are funny because of his misunderstanding.
- In the movie Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear thinks he is a real space ranger but the other toys and the audience knows that he is just a toy.
- Hank Schrader in Breaking Bad is a DEA agent looking for crystal-meth producer "Heisenberg". The audience knows that "Heisenberg" is Schrader's brother-in-law, Walter White, while Hank has no idea.
- In Beauty and the Beast, the audience knows that the Beast is a prince living under a curse from the start but Belle is unaware of the Beast's true identity.
- In Frozen, the audience is aware that Elsa has powers that are hard to control. Her sister Anna does not know about these powers and thinks of Elsa as standoffish and cold. The truth is that Elsa is being distant from Anna to protect her and is scared of hurting her. The audience feels for both girls.
Dramatic Irony in Hitchcock Films
Alfred Hitchcock was well-known for suspense in his films and was referred to as the "Master of Suspense." He was fond of surprises for his characters and meant to shock the audience. Hitchcock said the following in regards to dramatic irony:
"The audience is longing to warn the characters on the screen: 'You shouldn't be talking about such trivial matters. There's a bomb beneath you and it's about to explode!'"
The following are some examples of Hitchcock's use of dramatic irony:
- The shower scene in Psycho starts out with the character, Marion, not hearing the killer because the water is running in the shower, but the audience knows he is there. Marion was clueless that she was about to be murdered which increases tension for the audience.
- In The Birds, Melanie is seen walking up to the attic that has been closed off. She is unaware that this room is filled with the birds, while the audience knows they're there. She places her hand on the doorknob and hesitates before entering, giving the audience a moment of hope that she won't be attacked by the birds.
- In Rope, the audience sees the murder at the beginning of the movie. The audience knows that David has been killed and that his body is hidden in the chest being used as a table. The characters are waiting for David to arrive when the audience knows he will not be arriving. This fact adds to the humor in this movie in an ironic way.
- In North by Northwest, George Kaplan is a fictional secret agent and does not really exist. The audience is made aware early in the film that Kaplan is just a decoy. Thornhill is seen searching for Kaplan and has no clue that he is not a real person.
Intentional Use of Dramatic Irony
Dramatic irony exists when the audience knows information that the main characters do not. The writer uses this technique intentionally to keep the audience engrossed and engaged while watching what is on the screen or stage. Learn how writers use situational irony in the opposite way — to surprise the audience. You can also check out these literary and everyday examples of verbal irony.

In the diverse space of contemporary music, the fascinating and controversial personality of the Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, which is surprising from several perspectives, stands out. Open to assimilating and processing music from various sources (academic, liturgical, folk, entertainment, oriental, exotic), the all-round musician Karl Jenkins impresses the public with unexpected artistic choices, giving up the hypostasis of instrumentalist of the jazz-rock band Nucleus and of the group Softmachine in favour of the postmodern creator he has become today, synthetizing trends from musical compositions of the last decades of the 20th century. Once with the return to the functional system, either through minimalism or through neo-romanticism, the artist has successfully covered a potential sonority path of modern opposites, also evoking references to creative models of the past. We are referring to the musical valorizing of the sacred in a synthetic vision between tradition and innovation, in the works included in the Adiemus cycle, in the opus choir Missa for Peace and, more particularly, in the Requiem (2005), a significant score in the contemporaneity. The manner in which the composer, while resorting to a musical genre originating from the Roman Catholic cult and drawing on the liturgical text of the Mass for the dead, inserted Japanese poetry, written following the structure of haiku, belonging to representative authors - Gozan Koshigaya, Issho Kosughi, Hokusai Katsushika, Kaga-no-Chiyo, is highly surprising. This study aims to highlight the interweaving imagined by Karl Jenkins between the two cultures as well as to conduct a semantic analysis of an opus in which the relationships between music and words entail a highly emotional response.

About the Role and Compositional Functions
of the Kratemata in the Byzantine Chant
The Byzantine church chant is a purely liturgicalsong. The music that is practiced
here is primarily linked to the understanding of the text and its comprehension. That’s
why the sound-word ratio is very pronounced in the syllabic and semi-melismatic chants.
This harmonious relationship between music and poetry is partly destroyed in the very
Over a century and a half after the establishment of the first state educational institution dedicated to music in Iaşi – the School of Music and Declamation (1860) – the distinctive features of music education and the social and cultural phenomena involved can be perceived and analyzed. This study provides arguments to support the following features: 1. the openness to assimilate a variety of pedagogic and cultural influences, both from Europe and from Romania; 2. the role played by leading personalities, musicians – professors, in rising performance levels and in perpetuating the project; 3. valorizing Romanian music traditions - liturgical songs of Byzantine origin and regional folklore - through education (specializations, courses, creative activities and music performance); 4. the constant involvement of music education in concerts and musical performances in Iaşi.
