Ask Belle: Contouring and Highlighting
Sep 19, 2013
I was wondering if you could do a blog post on beauty and contouring your face. I want to do contour makeup myself for my engagement pics, but I’m at a loss on what products I need and how to apply. Do you have some favorite brushes, foundations, powders etc. that you would recommend?
Contrary to popular opinion, highlighting and contouring (H&C) is not just for special occasions. There are actually two levels of H&C: pageant makeup and every day application. Here’s how to achieve both.
Pageant makeup is something akin to face paint. It takes practice to learn how to apply it without looking like Bozo the Clown’s prettier cousin. Well, practice and the right tools. But the results can make all the difference when you’re having your photo taken or dressing up for a special event.
First, start with this tutorial from Once Wed (photo seen above). It’s the best step-by-step guide to special occasion makeup that I’ve ever seen. Then, compile your arsenal of products (drugstore brands work well for occasion makeup).
For the base, you’ll use your regular foundation or BB cream. However, you’ll need to buy a “cream concealer 2-to-3 shades lighter than your skin tone” that you will use as a highlighter. I like NYX Full Coverage Concealer. You’ll also need a flat brush to apply it. I use my Laura Mercier concealer brush.
For the contour, Once Wed recommends that you buy foundation “2-to-3 shades darker” than your skin. I use a stick foundation because I can just draw it on and blend it in later, no brush required. Iman makes a stick foundation in every shade imaginable, so whatever your skin tone, you should be able to find a complementary shade.
Once you’ve drawn on your highlighter and contour, you should be able to see the lines clearly or else you didn’t apply enough. To turn this paint-by-numbers into a gorgeous work of art, you’re going to need to blend. Once Wed suggests an egg-shaped sponge like a BeautyBlender or the cheaper version from Sephora.
Blending is the most important part of this exercise. You must rub-a-dub-dub until the lines disappear completely. Take extra care around the jaw and hairline, those are the areas women usually miss.
To complete the look, you need so set the makeup. Most tutorials suggest setting with translucent powder, but I prefer to use Mally Poreless Face Defender to lock the makeup in place and avoid the over-powdered look.
Want to learn how to contour and highlight for every day? Read the rest of the post after the jump.
Every Day highlighting & countouring is actually very simple. Some bloggers will try to convince you that you need a lot of tools and a lengthy tutorial, but I can highlight and contour my face in five-minutes with what I already have in my makeup bag and so can you.
After you apply your foundation and concealer, your contouring begins with blush. If you don’t already have a fluffy blush brush, get one. It makes the application natural, light and flawless. I splurged on the Bobbi Brown version, but this $10 brush from Ulta is just as good.
To contour with blush, apply the darker shade (I use Bobbi Brown Plum) to your cheekbones. Then, using only the pigment left on the brush, lightly run the brush along the space between your eye and hairline. Next, run it across your forehead, the tip of your nose and your chin. Lastly, apply a brighter blush color to the apples of your cheeks for a flushed look (I useBobbi Brown pale pink).
If you don’t want to buy two blushes, you can also use a matte bronzer to accent the cheekbones, forehead, etc. I like this bronzer from Too Faced.
To highlight, you’ll need a highlighter pencil (this one from Jane Iredale has a white and a pink tip) and a highlighting powder (I like the Lou-Manizers from theBalm). You will also need a small, fluffy brush. This $8 setting brush from Real Techniques has the right shape.
First, use the pencil to highlight your brow bone, the inside corner of your eye and the lower lash line–something akin to this tutorial. Then, add a dot of highlighter to your philtrum (there’s an SAT word for you) and line the underside of your lower lip. Make sure to blend the highlighter with your fingertips.
Next, lightly apply the powder highlighter under your eyes, above your blush. (The area is clearly defined in this diagram found on Pinterest). Also apply a bit of highlighter to the bridge of your nose and the middle of your chin.
Lastly, fill in your eyebrows with this YBF pencil to really shape up your face.
Highlighting and contouring can make a huge difference, even if you’re just applying a small amount of makeup. So the next time you apply your makeup, give these steps a try.

Nonrotating astronomical relativistic reference frames
Sergei A. Klioner and
Received 18 August 1997 / Accepted 12 December 1997
The target of this paper is a discussion of the meaning of the Newtonian concept of a reference frame showing no rotation with respect to a set of distant celestial objects in the framework of general relativity. Because of the properties of Newtonian absolute space and time and the existence of global inertial reference systems in Newton's theory the theoretical construction of such a globally nonrotating reference frame is obvious. This definitively no longer is the case in a relativistic framework. There exist no global inertial reference systems and one faces the necessity to give the notion of nonrotating frames a rigorous meaning.
Considering possible definitions of nonrotating reference frames in both Newtonian and relativistic physics, we conclude that the concept of relative spatial rotation between reference systems plays a fundamental role in defining nonrotating astronomical reference frames. It turns out that the property of two relativistic reference systems to show no spatial rotation relative to each other, being a coordinate-dependent concept, has some properties which cannot be interpreted within our "Newtonian common sense". As an example, we discuss two versions of a geocentric reference system, both of which can be considered to show no rotation relative to distant celestial objects at the present level of observational accuracy, but differing by a time-dependent rotation of considerable amplitude. Applying the obtained results to the recently elaborated formalisms for constructing relativistic astronomical reference systems, we describe relative spatial rotations between the galactic, barycentric, geocentric reference systems and the reference system of an observer.
We find a certain parallel between the concept of simultaneity (synchronization of clocks) and the concept of reference system showing no rotation relative to distant celestial objects. Both notions are absolute in Newtonian physics and become coordinate-dependent in the relativistic framework, representing, therefore, a mathematical convention rather than a physically meaningful phenomena.
Key words: relativity reference systems

Looks like Samsung’s power packed Android device Galaxy S (GT-I9000) is ready for primetime. CNET Asia has confirmed that Galaxy S will be launching in June in Asia for around $780 and if Samsung’s launch strategy is any indication, we might find the Galaxy S in European and other markets too in the same timeframe. Another interesting tidbit CNET managed to score is Android’s status on the phone. Although the phone will be released with Éclair onboard, Samsung will provide Froyo (Android 2.2) as soon as possible.
Galaxy S features one of the best hardware set, which includes a 1GHz CPU, 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA screen, 5MP camera with 720p video recording, A-GPS, DivX/Xvid support, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi 802.11n, microSD card slot and 1500mAh battery.

A win for Royal Challengers Bangalore can virtually book them a berth in knockouts this season, so a win is the only option for them. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad need to win each of their remaining matches, hope for other teams to lose points and then only will they stand a chance of making a place in the playoffs. With the players needing to play out of their skins, the match will be an exciting one, so do not miss out on the fun.
To make the Saturday even more memorable, I have assorted the top three winning bets for you and listed them below. Just go through my analysis and invest your money strategically to become richer by the end of the game.
I have already picked up this bet several times and am doing it again, cause this one is a no-brainer, with the Sunrisers Hyderabad having the knack of scoring big before the fall of the first wicket. In the last five matches, their opening partnerships registered - 107, 56, 4, 58, 23, having amassed a total of 248 runs, at a rate of 49.6 runs per match, with them having the upper hand in four of those matches. Overall, in 12 matches played this season, the openers have put up a total of 585 runs, at a rate of 48.75 runs per match, with them having the better opening stand in nine of those instances.
In the only match the Sunrisers have played in Sharjah, their opening stand has registered 34 runs, while conceded just 6 runs on the contrary. On the flip side, Royal Challengers Bangalore have put on 209 runs, at a rate of 41.8 runs per match, with them having the upper hand in just two of those matches. Meanwhile, the Sunrisers' openers have been more stable and scored more runs than their counterparts, which makes this bet worth investing with odds of 1.90 on offer.
The match is set to be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium - where sixes flow at a brisk pace and Royal Challengers Bangalore need to hit just 8 sixes to win us some easy cash by the end of the day. For instance, in the two matches they have played at the venue, the Royals have struck 16 sixes, hitting 8 in each of those matches. Overall, in the last five matches. In the last five matches at the venue, the total number of sixes was 74, at a rate of 14.8 hits per match, with five out of the ten innings having more than 7 maximums.
Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad have only played one match in Sharjah this season, where they have conceded a total of 14 sixes, which also supports our case. In the last four H2H matches between these two teams, the Kohli-led side has hit a total of 28 sixes, with them hitting more than 7 in two of those matches. Royal Challengers Bangalore boasts big hitters like AB de Villiers, Devdutt Padikkal and even Virat Kohli, there is no doubt that the IPL side will hit at least 8 sixes in the upcoming match.
One of the safest bets for the upcoming match, with Sunrisers Hyderabad needing just 12 boundaries to bring us money this weekend. In the last five matches, the IPL side have struck a total of 75 boundaries (25, 7, 12, 18, 13), at a rate of 15 hits per match, with them finding the ropes at least 12 times in four of those matches. Overall, in 12 matches played so far, the Sunrisers' have registered a total of 160 boundaries, at a rate of 13.33 per match, having hit at more than 11 in eight of those matches.
In the only match played at the venue this season, they managed to hit 12 boundaries. Meanwhile, in the last five H2H matches played against Royal Challengers Bangalore, they have struck a total of 75 boundaries (14, 14, 17, 16, 14), at a rate of 15 hits per match, with them striking at least 12 in each of those matches. Lastly, David Warner and Johnny Bairstow have struck 39 and 31 boundaries this season respectively and are in the list of the top 15. I have already placed the bet. What about you?

Journals from The First Pregnancy
A little plastic stick, just out of curisotiy. It measures a hormone in my body. A hormone that is only in my body for a specific reason. The second line, forming a plus sign was faint. Dr. google tells me that positive is positive- but I still am skeptical. I’d be at 3 1/2 weeks. At four weeks, the culprit of all this hubabaloo will be the size of a poppy seed. I tell my DH I hope it sticks. He tells me its not like its snow.
Its an increase in HCG. Its not even the size of a poppy seed. How is it that I already have so much love for this creation. I know its early, but we created this. And I love my DH and the little poppy seed all the more.
To the cells growing inside of me: we call you PS. When we first learned of you, your mama read that you were barely the size of a poppy seed. The name stuck- I have been absolutely in love and absolutely terriefed from the day I learned about you. A bundle of cells, a missed period, two pink lines on a plastic stick- and our lives have changed. I have changed. I have been terriefed of losing you- and your poppa reminds me that this is just the beginning. As much as I want to grip and control and keep you safe and well- I can’t entirely do it. You are not mine- you are a creation of our Creator, entrusted to me. I have lost some, a lot of my innoncence in these past years- I know darkness. I know we are not immune from its reaches. I can find myself terrified of its grasp. And yet, in this knowing, I have also known light. And that light is . . is.. life.
So, little PS, my prayer today, and every day that I have the gift of having you in my life, I want to allow the light in-
I read a story- it brough tears to my eyes of a young mom, she didn’t get pregnant as easily as your dad and I did- but finally she did. Her heart swelled as mine has as she grew to love her little one- a boy- and for 36 weeks she celebrated that gift of life. But his life ended, before he even had a chance to live life- for no known reason- the darkness we fear and try to outrun grasped him- and she weeps tonight. But as I read her thoughts as she told her story- she said she wanted to celebrate the light that this little one brought to her life. Even in his short time with them- light. Even as she grives, she acknowledges that which she can grasp- light. So tonight, PS, I thought I would reflect on all the ways you have already brought light to my life in just a few short weeks:
- watching your poppa overflowing with joy
- feeling poppa’s warm lips against my pudgy belly as he tells you are story, and asks how you are doing, and tells of his great love for you
- realizing my heart’s capacity to love- I love your poppa more than I thought possible- and now you, a little stranger.
- learning to trust that my body has been created to give light in this way- the creation of light, from a little poppy seed, to a change maker in the world, a beacon of light, a servant, a gift giver.
- learning to take life at a pace suitable for today
- loving that my body is nauseous, and sore, tried, and pudgy- all in order to sustain you-

ATHENS, Ga. -- Just days before Georgia begins early football practice for the upcoming season, the Bulldogs bolstered their roster for 2006 and beyond.
Georgia picked up its 14th and 15th commitments for next year's recruiting class when Florida wide receiver Tony Wilson and South Carolina cornerback Prince Miller revealed their college choices on Monday.
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Wilson, from Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, chose Georgia over Florida, Florida State and LSU. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Miller, who attends Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C., picked Georgia over Florida State and Tennessee.
Of Georgia's 15 commitments, eight are from out of state.
Georgia signed more players from outside the Peach State than within its borders this past February for the first time since 1981.
The speedy Wilson, who also plays defensive back, attends the same high school as Bulldogs sophomore safety Kelin Johnson.
Wilson won the Florida Class 4A state 200-meter title this spring with a time of 21.78 seconds. His stock rose this summer when he ran a 4.31 second 40 at a camp at Florida State, Mainland coach John Maronto said.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Texas-El Paso and Southern Mississippi were chosen to win their divisions in new-look Conference USA, the league announced Monday.
Memphis running back DeAngelo Williams, Rice defensive end John Syptak and kick returner Ashlan Davis of Tulsa are the preseason players of the year.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Prosecutors dropped an aggravated assault charge against one Tennessee player and reduced the charge against another Monday in a case stemming from a fight at a campus party.
Tennessee defensive end Robert Ayers and linebacker Jerod Mayo, who redshirted last season as freshmen, were charged with hitting fellow student Shadiyah Murphy in March when several fights broke out between football players and members of Omega Psi Phi fraternity.
The charge against Mayo was dismissed after a witness would not cooperate with prosecutors. Assistant District Attorney General Willie Harper asked Knox County General Sessions Judge Tony Stansberry to dismiss the charge on the grounds of failure to prosecute.

Fayetteville-Manlius High School graduate Nick Ziobro, along with his singing partner Eddie Brandt, were eliminated in tonight's "America's Got Talent" show.
"We're not discouraged by it,'' said Ziobro, a 2014 F-M graduate. "We are happy we had the opportunity to perform on such a huge platform, and we feel good about it."
Ziobro, who now attends Rider University, and Brandt, were buzzed by judge Howie Mandel, who said they were "like a cruise act."
Ziobro said he was "taken aback" by that comment and doesn't think it's a fair characterization.
But Ziobro said even though he and Brandt are off the show, they are sure they will have a bright future in music.
Ziobro, 19; and 21-year-old Brandt were vying for a $1 million prize and a chance to perform in Las Vegas.
A jazz singer, Ziobro said the exposure has been priceless and he's had a great time competing on the show. He is studying musical theater in college, and says he loves to be onstage in front of an audience.
Several supporters tweeted their encouragement, and dismay at the judge's decision.

Bathurst's mayor makes case for new Francophone school
Bathurst's mayor thinks a new Francophone school in east Bathurst would help entice young Francophone families to settle in that part of the city.
Paolo Fongemie made the case for replacing the Assumption Academy school at a recent meeting of the Francophone Northeast School District.
He's also brought local politicians up to speed on the importance of the project.
Fongemie says the current school is one of the oldest in the region and is now obsolete.

VA explains signs of PTSD, how to seek treatment
JACKSON, Tenn. — The Department of Veterans Affairs encourages veterans, service members, and civilians who have experienced trauma, to take a self-screening for PTSD.
Many people experience some type of trauma in their lives, which leads to post traumatic stress disorder.
It’s estimated that six out of every 100 people will have PTSD at some point in their lives.
Some symptoms of PTSD are feeling upset when a person is reminded of a traumatic event, feeling more anger and guilt, and depression.
If you think you may have PTSD, the VA highly recommends a screening to test for it.
If your results come back positive, Sonya Norman, director of the PTSD Consultation Program at the VA, explains what you can do next.
“If it’s a veteran, they can go to the VA, if it’s someone who is not a veteran they can go to their primary care, they can go to a mental health clinic, or their mental health provider,” Norman said. “Let them know about the positive screen, figuring out what is going on and get into treatment.”

The winter months start off strong: November brings Thanksgiving, December brings Christmas, and the beginning of January has the festive feel of a New Year. But then what? Dreary January, bleak February, and miserable March. During that bleak stretch of wintry months, many of us experience the “winter blues” or even seasonal depression, which is four times more common in women than in men. The reason for this difference isn’t fully understood, but some researchers theorize that this difference could be due to women’s higher estrogen levels, which affect serotonin. If you find yourself feeling down during this time, there are some things you can try to help brighten the dark days.
Understanding the Symptoms
The “winter blues” refers to the overall experience of lethargy, low motivation, and a general “blah” feeling once the weather turns colder, the days become shorter, and there is less daylight. It’s estimated that between ten and twenty percent of the U.S. population experiences some form of the winter blues.
The winter blues is a less severe form of seasonal depression (also called Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD), which affects about five percent of the population. Symptoms typically appear during late fall or early winter and disappear in spring or summer. They include many of the common symptoms of depression, such as:
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Feeling sluggish or agitated
- Low energy
- Feeling hopeless or worthless
- Having difficulty concentrating
- Having frequent thoughts of death or suicide
As well as seasonally-specific symptoms:
- Overeating (in addition, often craving carbs)
- Weight gain
- Social withdrawal
So what can you do during these cold, dark, and snowy months? There are several options that can not only help you manage symptoms, but also help you thrive during this time.
Light therapy has been a tried and true treatment for seasonal depression for decades. This consists of using a special lamp that emits 10,000 lux and filters out harmful UV rays to mimic sun exposure. You sit with the lamp about 2 to 3 feet away from you and off to the side (don’t stare directly into the light) while you read, write, listen to music, talk to your family members, or just sit and relax for 15 to 30 minutes. Using the lamp every day has been shown to improve mood in as early as four days and can have a full effect in about two weeks.
One study found that 70 percent of participants experienced relief from their seasonal depression symptoms in a few weeks. You can find affordable lamps at most major retailers, but check with your provider first before using since it isn’t recommended for people with diabetes, retina conditions, those on certain medications, or people diagnosed with bipolar.
Researchers believe that low vitamin D levels may play a role in seasonal depression. With less sunlight and time outdoors, we are exposed to the sun less in the winter than in the summer months, which means that our natural vitamin D levels are likely not as strong in the winter. Talking with your doctor about increasing your vitamin D levels might be a good idea if you experience seasonal depression.
Exercise can be a powerful tool to help manage symptoms of seasonal depression. Regular exercise has been shown to boost not only your energy but also your mood. Incorporating some kind of exercise into your day will likely help you feel better overall, improve your mood, and minimize the effects of stress that you may be experiencing. Luckily, there are many options even when it is cold out, ranging from trying out a workout video from home, joining a gym, or bundling up to go for a walk with a friend.
During the winter, we tend to spend more time indoors and are less eager to venture out to spend time with people. This can compound the feelings of loneliness and isolation you may already be experiencing from seasonal depression. As much as you might be tempted to lean into those hibernation feelings, it’s important to make sure you are regularly connecting with your support network and those people whose company you enjoy the most. You might not feel like seeing people, but your spirits will be lifted when you make the effort to spend time with others.
Remember when hygge was trending? This Danish term refers to embracing the “coziness” of the winter months by cultivating a comforting atmosphere and surrounding yourself with the company of people you enjoy. This can mean actually using that fireplace in your house for the first time, embracing the magical glow of candlelight, baking, having friends over to curl up in warm blankets for a movie night, etc.
If your seasonal depression is impacting your ability to function on a daily basis, attending regular therapy sessions can be helpful. Your therapist can not only evaluate and give a diagnosis, but they can also help you identify specific ways to treat your depressive symptoms. In particular, they can help you make behavioral and lifestyle changes as well as help you identify and change any cognitive thinking patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms.

Baby it’s cold outside, but your canola bins could be hot — dangerously hot.
That’s why the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) wants farmers to check their bins right away.
“Canola delivery points report a spike in heated canola over the past couple of weeks,” the CCC said in its Canola Watch email Nov. 28. “Crushers have capacity to accommodate a certain amount of mildly heated canola, but some locations are maxed out and have pushed back delivery of heated canola well into the new year, given the sudden increase in volume.”
One Manitoba canola buyer, who asked not to be named, confirmed he’s seeing heated canola coming to market.
“We had a very challenging fall that has led to some of this,” the CCC’s Manitoba agronomy specialist, Angela Brackenreed, said in an interview Nov. 28. “A lot took crop off at fairly high moisture levels and those with just natural air drying really had trouble to get that moisture content lowered. We just had cool conditions this fall.”
Some areas had more green canola seed due to early cutting or early frost. And some flooded fields resulted in more weed seeds in the crop. Both have higher moisture content, which can lead to canola spoiling.
- More from the Manitoba Co-operator: Top 10 risky storage situations for canola
“It’s really unfortunate and I really feel for those producers who have had canola heat,” Brackenreed said. “It’s a sobering reminder for all of us that canola is fairly volatile in storage and we need to be diligent in monitoring those bins… as we head into the winter.”
The key to safe canola storage is ensuring the crop is dry (eight per cent moisture) and cool (15 C or lower).
Oil and water don’t mix and canola is more than 40 per cent oil. Canola seed can “sweat” for up to six weeks after it’s binned, warned Anastasia Kubinec, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development’s oilseed specialist.
“We didn’t really have a cold snap in October so some canola could have stayed warm,” she said.
Warm, moist grain can start to heat and then spoil. It can start small, but quickly spread.
Bin temperature sensors are the best way to monitor canola, Kubinec said. The cost of buying sensors is underwritten if farmers take an on-farm food safety course being offered through Growing Forward 2, she said.
If the bin smells bad, snow has melted from the bin roof or there’s crusted canola at the top of the bin, spoilage is occurring and the crop could be already badly damaged.
Even with temperature sensors the safest way to monitor canola is to pull at least a third of the crop out, Brackenreed said.
Start with the most vulnerable bins. That’s why it’s important to have good records, she said.
Don’t mix good canola with spoiled canola.
If spoilage is detected try to market that canola right away, Brackenreed said.
Aeration fans should be started as soon as canola covers the perforated bin floor and operated continuously in the fall until either the crop temperature is reduced to 0 C or the crop is dry, according to information from Alberta Agriculture.
Temperature differences in stored canola result in moisture moving from warmer to colder areas of the bin, the CCC says. During late fall, cold air sinks in the grain at the outside of the bin and warm, moister air, in the centre of the bin, rises and condensation may occur when it reaches the cold seeds near the surface. This free moisture near the surface can lead to rapid spoilage.

OTTAWA — A Continental man who has been charged with seven counts of rape and four counts of gross sexual imposition waived his right to a speedy trial in Putnam County Common Pleas Court Tuesday.
Michael T. Huizenga, 51, is accused of having sexual contact with a juvenile less than 13 years old every year since 2013 in Putnam County.
Huizenga was previously represented by attorney Ian Weber in May. However, attorney E. Charles Bates is now representing him.
A trial date was originally scheduled for Aug. 26, but Bates requested additional time that was approved to allow for him to review the case.
The case has been pending since March and since the court will not be in the 270-day period for a speedy trial, Huizenga agreed to sign a judgment entry time waiver agreeing to waive his right to a speedy trial.
Putnam County Common Pleas Court Judge Keith Schierloh during Tuesday’s hearing said the trial date that was scheduled at 9 a.m. Nov. 18 will be converted to a full hearing for any motions and reports by either party to be discussed. Any aspects regarding any motions, expert reports and witnesses must be filed with the court by Nov. 1. The state of Ohio or defense must file an itemized list of motions and expectations they are asking from the court on or before Nov. 6.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Todd Schroeder said there has not been a trial date yet scheduled.
Huizenga has been ordered not to consume alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription medications that has not been prescribed. He must submit to drug screening every Monday and Thursday, have no contact with the alleged victim and appear at all scheduled hearings.

With artists from all over the world and a combination of different styles and diversity – join us at another edition of the extraordinary music project Przemiany Live! Apart from presenting the electro music stars from the West, such as Kangding Ray and Objekt, we pursue our exploration of the East – thus the presence of Motoblok from Ternopil and Moa Pillar from Moscow. We also want to support our local music bands and so we have invited an amazing duet Widt to our Festival.
The main highlight of the festival. For a number of years now, he has recorded for an electronic music record label – the legendary Raster-Noton. As a leader of avant-garde techno, he has contributed to the genre’s revival and popularity. He is currently promoting his latest album, Cory Arcane.
Listen to Kangding Ray »
An astonishing mix of techno, garage, noise, acid, dubstep, bass-core and shithouse… Each song represents a different style and pulsation. This young Brit is linked with the Berlin’s music scene, but has already gained recognition and fame in Poland. He played at the Unsound Festival in Cracow (2014) and Tauron Festiwal Nowa Muzyka in Katowice (2015).
Listen to Objekt »
This is likely to be the Festival’s true revelation. Fedor Pereverzev, aka Moa Pillar, is a representative of the young, Russian electro scene, a winner of the Sergey Kuryokhin Contemporary Art Award, who records for Full of Nothing. His original compositions, described as “spiritual bass techno,” are based on long, hypnotic passages and massive base lines. They also contain elements of ethnic and shamanic music.
Listen to Moa Pillar »
The name features a Ukrainian artist, curator and promotor – Yaroslav Kachmarskyi – founder of the Pincet record label and director of the Hamselyt electro music festival in Ternopil (since 2012). His pulsing music – despite its rhythmicity – has a fair share of dirt, glitch and industrial elements.
Listen to Motoblok »
A duet composed of sisters – Antonina Nowacka and Bogumiła Piotrowska. Their audio-visual sets comprise psychedelic rhymes that clash with Piotrowska’s analogue visualisations and disquieting vocalisations by Nowacka. The duet hit the headlines when a British magazine The Quietus placed their album entitled Point#3 at the 23rd place on the list of the most interesting 2015 albums in the world!
Listen to Widt »
A Austrian artist, composer and feminist activist. Active on the music scene for over 25 years, she has been second to none in combining elements of pop and avant-garde culture in her artistic creations. She has played for both mass audiences (e.g. during the Love Parade) and for smaller crowds (during alternative music festivals) in over 37 countries so far!

Though its been many a moon since all of the Harry Potter books were released, a lot of children and some adults haven't yet gotten around to reading them, or watching the movies. So take note. There is a Spoiler ahead. Today marks the 17th anniversary of The Battle of Hogwarts. In remembrance of this occasion, author J.K. Rowling apologizes for killing off fan-favorite character Fred Weasley!
The Battle of Hogwarts took place on May 2nd, and was recounted in the final pages of the series-ending book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which was later turned into a very successful movie. During this epic fight, one-half of the Weasley Twins found himself entering the afterlife. Though he wasn't the only soul to sacrifice himself that fateful day in the name of good versus evil, he is the only one that gets a special shout out from J.K. Rowling today. The author is limiting her apologies to just one character a year.
Fred's death was a huge blow to both the characters in the books as well as fans. He was extremely likable, and he left his brother George torn in half. George was left to continue life without his twin by his side, which is considerably sad seeing as how the two were quite inserperable. It isn't known if J.K. Rowling regrets killing off the character so many years after the book was published. Or if she just remembers the character fondly. Last year at this time, she expressed her frustration at having to kill off so many characters during this climax, referring specifically to the death of Tonks and Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, Colin Creevey, Lavender Brown and the other witches and wizards who fought on the side of good. Take a look at J.K. Rowling's tweets:


Apple Display Supplier BOE has confirmed that the Power Shut Down in Sichuan China will not impact their Display Plants
Yesterday Patently Apple posted a report titled "Planned Power Shut Down in China's Sichuan Power Grid is unlikely to affect Production of Apple Devices." The report noted that "The Sichuan Provincial Government announced that in order to ensure electricity consumption for people's livelihood, all industrial power users in the Sichuan Power Grid's orderly electricity consumption plan will be shut down for six days.
Wistron said that after confirmation, operations were normal and there was no impact. Inventec pointed out that there is currently no impact.
Today we're learning that Apple supplier BOE Technology Group Co Ltd will "make adjustments" at its operations in Sichuan due to power rationing in the region, it said in a stock market filing on Tuesday.
The company said that it was communicating with authorities and expected "no major impact on its overall operating performance."
It added that it has four production lines making displays for hardware devices in the region - two lines producing LCD screens, and two producing AMOLED screens.
The company supplies small volumes of displays to Apple for its iPhone 13 devices and older models, and is set to supply displays for the upcoming iPhone 14. For more on this, read the full Reuters report.

The home of the Crosbie Moore family in the 18th and early 19th century, Wilson refers to Moore's-fort as "the handsome seat of Edward Moore" in 1786. Lewis records Maurice Crosbie Moore as resident in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Edward C. Moore was still in possession of Mooresfort. However it was advertised for sale in 1852 and sold to Charles Moore of county Antrim, who altered and remodelled the house, reducing it from a 3 storey to a 2 storey house. The house remained in the possession of this family into the 20th century. It is now the main residence on a working farm.

Joseph Haydn is frequently called "the father of the symphony." He made important advances in symphonic composition, but he wasn't the first to write symphonies in the classical form.
The title arguably should go to Johann Stamitz, an important composer of the Mannheim school. During the Baroque era, there were compositions called "sinfonia," but they weren't symphonies in the classical-era sense. The closest Baroque equivalent was the concerto grosso.
A Stamitz symphony used an orchestra similar to what Haydn and Mozart employed. Most of his symphonies were four-movement works, in the familiar pattern of a fast movement, a slow one, a minuet, and a very fast movement.
Haydn's biggest contribution to symphonic form was the full elaboration of first-movement sonata form, with an exposition, development, and recapitulation and often a slow introduction. He enlarged the form, with symphonies running to half an hour in length. Earlier symphonies seldom went much over fifteen minutes. The best of his symphonies are far more interesting and memorable than any by his predecessors.
Later composers continued to change the form. Beethoven used a scherzo in place of the minuet and added voices to one symphony. Later composers went beyond four movements, linked the movements, and created symphonies close to two hours in length.
In light of these considerations, how strong is Haydn's claim to being the father of the symphony? Does J. Stamitz have a better claim? Should we just say there was no one person who brought the symphony as we now think of it into existence?

Spirits. Different life forms that exist in a critical space and cause peculiar disasters.
Strategy 1: Annihilate them by military force.
Strategy 2: Date them and make them fall in love.
Let’s get down to the main review.
The art style continues to be well done in my opinion. I always feel the need to comment on how I love the colors in Date A Live and I don’t really the insults hurled at J.C. Staff for it. I always think that Date A Live is a fairly pretty anime. But then again this might be just a personal opinion.
The first part of the Natsumi arc draws to a close, showing off some surprising deductions from Shido. I have to say that I enjoyed this part most of all. As someone who writes often, I know that there is a format and structure to formulating a mystery and Koshi Tachibana(the writer for Date A Live) followed it perfectly. All of the clues were there and able to pieced together before the reveal was made. This is mainly done so the reveal doesn’t feel like it came out of thin air.
The ending of episode 3 in my book was hilarious and a little unexpected if you didn’t read the light novels and know that Natsumi was a little girl. She’s a little bitter about being found out that she’s not a incredibly beautiful 20 something woman and instead she’s about somewhere around Yoshino’s age.
But moving to Episode 4, we have hi-jinks with Shido having to deal with all of the Spirits being little girls ranging from child-like arguments to Origami making it look like Shido had a daughter with Origami.
Once we get to the major points of Episode 4, it’s revealed how Natsumi views herself and others. It’s actually quite sad compared to how she acted when she was first introduced. The air of the mature onee-san type has fallen away to reveal the scared little girl that only wants to be beautiful. Which is something a lot of people can definitely agree with.
After dealing with the AST and being injured, Natsumi pampered and beautified by all of the Spirits not only to make her look better but to also boost her confidence.
Shido always seems to rank in the top 5 of my favorite harem protagonists. This clever little show of his intelligence was definitely reminded me how much I like him. Now your average harem protagonist wins by being just so nice but Shido even when he has the Fraxinus crew whispering in his ear actually most of his best moves come from his heart in the moment. This is merely one of those moments.
Natsumi…poor girl. No character other than perhaps Miku makes me feel more. The main reason being that you can see Natsumis and Mikus all over the world. You walking by a Natsumi everyday. A little girl or a young woman that’s seen the ads, the movies, the models, and all of the stuff and she’s looked at herself and saw she wasn’t like them. That she didn’t fit the ‘Mold of Beauty’ as they say. Not being like that kills their confidence.
And after that where do they go? Probably to the makeup, the beauty and skincare companies, and the fashion industry that will tell them they’ll make them beautiful, they’ll make them noticeable. Natsumi’s transformation is just another allegory to that. Perhaps I’m reading too much into it but Natsumi’s situation is so sad that I could cry. She really is a pretty girl but all of the stuff around her eroded her confidence down.
So until the next review,
You can ask me as many questions as you want on Ask.fm and you can follow me on Twitter to know when my new reviews are coming out. You’ll know when stuff comes out right when it does! 🙂

Luckens Reserve is a significant park in West Harbour that is currently underused due to flooding and drainage issues, unusable existing amenities (such as the half basketball court and half pipe) and poor connections between play equipment.
A concept design for the reserve has been developed for the Upper Harbour Local Board.
What we'd like your feedback on
We are seeking feedback from the community on the concept design and development stages of Luckens Reserve and also want to know the community's priorities on play space development opportunities.
Proposed stages for development
There are three proposed stages for the redevelopment of Luckens Reserve:
Stage One – Currently in progress
This section of the redevelopment has been allocated as Stage 1 due to the severe flooding and accessibility issues on site.
Stage 1 includes:
- Mitigating the flooding issue within the park by improving the drainage in some areas
- Upgrading the path network
- Use of water sensitive plants in certain areas which will help with drainage issues and mitigate flooding over our footpaths and other park assets.
Stage Two – Upgrading the play space
Including pre-school to school aged play and youth/young adult play or nature play.
We are seeking feedback on what type of play space you most want to see.
Stage Three – Upgrading the wider reserve area
We are seeking feedback on what type of activities you want to pursue at the reserve and what is most important to you to see happen with the wider reserve.
When you can have your say
You can have your say until 30 April 2020.

Optical phased-array ladar
November 1, 2014
We demonstrate a ladar with 0.5 m class range resolution obtained by integrating a continuous-wave optical phased-array transmitter with a Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode receiver array. In contrast with conventional ladar systems, an array of continuous-wave sources is used to effectively pulse illuminate a target by electro-optically steering far-field fringes. From the reference frame of a point in the far field, a steered fringe appears as a pulse. Range information is thus obtained by measuring the arrival time of a pulse return from a target to a receiver pixel. This ladar system offers a number of benefits, including broad spectral coverage, high efficiency, small size, power scalability, and versatility.

Hydrogels with on‐demand tunable mechanical properties within sensitive biological environments are of critical importance for examining cellular responses to cell culture platforms. Herein, the first bio‐orthogonal hydrogel that can be formed and subsequently tuned in its mechanical properties by simply switching different wavelengths of visible light (i.e., 455 and 420 nm) is reported. Specifically, both the initial hydrogelation and the tuning of the mechanical properties can be fully decoupled and selectively initiated by different colors of light. Sparing the need for any catalysts, the development of such a dual wavelength selective hydrogel for biological applications spans four levels: First, the development of the until today most redshifted photocycloaddition to allow for the selective initiation of only one photoreaction; second, the investigation of its wavelength‐dependent ligation efficiency; third, translation of the ligation chemistry into a hydrogelator, and fourth, establishing a biocompatible hydrogel platform for applications in biomaterials engineering including detachment of fibroblasts from 2D culture areas or primary 3D culture of human mesenchymal stem cells. The introduced platform technology enables the fabrication of a hydrogel of predefined mechanical properties exclusively with visible light.

We played with that PhoneSoap cleaner and here’s what we think
PhoneSoap promises to sanitize your devices with UV-C light in just 5 minutes
Covid-19 has made the word "sanitize" nearly an everyday word. We're washing our hands, cleaning our home — and also our devices. Aside from running rubbing alcohol over our smartphones, there's a product that some are touting to help sanitize your mobile devices called PhoneSoap which uses UV-C light to sterilize — and specifically break apart and kill the DNA inside viruses.
Be aware that PhoneSoap does not claim that it can kill Covid-19. And right now, the best way to clean your mobile device (phone, watch, even headphones) is to use a wipe with at least 60 percent alcohol, or even a Clorox Disinfecting Wipe. But PhoneSoap does claim to remove common household bacteria, so we're talking Salmonella, Staph, E.Coli, common cold virus, Flu and even MRSA. And new research is showing that UV-C light may have an impact of killing airborne coronaviruses.
Inside, is an aluminum coating and two lights at the top, and two at the bottomGearBrain
We were sent a PhoneSoap, along with a recent phone from LG to play with, and tried it on a bunch of devices. Did it work? Here's the problem: We just can't tell. We know PhoneSoap touts a Discovery Channel test that showed, yes, the device did work to eliminate what it claims it does. But here's what we experienced personally.
UV-C light does have a track record for killing airborne coronaviruses, but also, according to research from Columbia University, potentially seasonal coronaviruses, that "are structurally similar to the SARS-CoV2-virus that causes Covid-19, " according to their study.
This light is used in a number of sterilization boxes, including those made by PhoneSoap, InvisibleShield and Mophie. They all work similarly. To activate the cleaning, you place your device (or frankly anything that you want cleaned) inside the device and just close the door.
That's exactly what we did with our PhoneSoap. Inside is a reflective aluminum casing, with two bulbs at the top, and two at the bottom. This is not a small item — which means you can put in very big smartphones, even earbuds. And it works with the case still on your device too.
An LG Velvet smartphone inside the PhoneSoapGearBrain
We put in our first phone, an iPhone X, let it sit for five minutes, and waited for the blue light at the top to go off. We could even hear text messages and phone calls come through, and this means you can also hear an alarm come through if you place your devices in there at night.
You can open the door at any time — which will just stop the clean. But the device is meant to work for the full five minutes to completely kill pathogens from the surface. We also tested this on an LG Velvet as well.
How do you know when it's done? The light just goes off. You don't get a ping, you don't get a chime. It's just done.
The problem with viruses and pathogens — you cannot see them. We have to trust that they're around us, and they can cause harm. Most people are wearing masks, washing their hands and keeping socially distant which has shown to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus, for example, when done by a majority of people.
The bottom of the PhoneSoap has feet that help stabilize the unit on your desk or dresserGearBrain
With PhoneSoap, however, this means you never see the result of what it claims to accomplish either. The phones do not come out visibly cleaner. Smudges and fingerprints that were on them before going into the case, are still there. You don't get that satisfactory visible check you do when wiping a surface with an alcohol wipe — it doesn't look cleaner.
That doesn't mean, however, that it hasn't done what it says it can do. The ultimate decision, whether to buy one or not, has to reside with users who want to take every option they can to fight against viruses — Covid-19 or not.
PhoneSoap currently sells a variety of different sizes of their cleaner, with the smallest of them starting at $79.95. You can even buy a larger size that can clean bigger items, including tablets, which is on pre-order now.

These sweet and spicy roasted carrots make a fabulous side dish, but they’re also delicious all on their own. In fact, on those rare (and dare I say treasured) nights when I’m on my own for dinner and don’t feel like fussing with a full meal, I’ll make them for myself as a main course. They’re like a treat, and I can easily polish off the entire dish myself.
Begin by peeling the carrots.
Slice them into thirds on a diagonal (they’re prettier that way). It’s important not to cut the carrots too small because you want the outsides to caramelize before the insides get too soft. If they’re too small, they’ll cook too fast.
Toss the cut carrots with olive oil, salt and curry powder.
And roast in a hot oven, turning a few times with a rubber spatula so they brown evenly, until tender and caramelized.
Toss the carrots with honey and serve.

Report: Zain best telco for Saudi Arabia gaming
May 26, 2021
The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has published its Game Mode report for the first quarter of 2021, ranking Saudi Arabia’s telecom service providers based on their video game performance. This quarter’s Game Mode report reveals that Zain, a local telecom operator, has the best video game quarterly performance. Zain outperformed Mobily, Saudi Telecom Company (STC), and Integrated Telcom (ITC) with lower latency in four of the five most popular games in Saudi Arabia: Fortnite, FIFA 21, Apex Legends, and Dota 2.
The report is part of CITC’s recent framework to promote healthy competition among telecom operators to provide the best experience for gamers, raise the level of transparency in the market, and provide investors and the public with key data and indicators on the sector’s performance.
In Fortnite, Zain scored an average response time of 18 milliseconds. This compared favorably with STC at 20 milliseconds, Mobily at 22 milliseconds, and ITC at 24 milliseconds, for a total national average of 33 milliseconds.
Football video game FIFA was also tested by Game Mode, with Zain ending in first place among operators with an average response time of 13 milliseconds, followed by STC at 20 milliseconds and Mobily at 23 milliseconds.
Zain also outperformed other service providers in the average response time for the games Apex Legends shooter battle royale game and Dota 2, after recording average response times of 13 milliseconds and 20 milliseconds respectively.
As for online battle arena game League of Legends, similar to the previous quarter, performance remained relatively low across the spectrum of operators, with Mobily and Zain topping the list with an average response time of 81 milliseconds, followed by STC at 86 milliseconds, and Integrated Telecom at 89 milliseconds.
The Q1 2021 Game Mode report also unveils valuable insights on the overall latency performance of telecom companies within fixed, mobile, and 5G networks. ITC led the fastest fixed networks average latency category with 10 milliseconds, Mobily led the mobile networks average latency category with 32 milliseconds and Zain led the fastest 5G average network latency category with 23 milliseconds.
CITC’s Game Mode initiative includes quarterly reports that compare response times among service providers across some of the most popular video games in the Kingdom. In addition, the initiative includes an award for the internet service provider with the best response time for video gaming, a key indicator of the network’s performance.
