Halle Berry has been sort of a idol of mine since I was a kid.
I was kind of a super fan, my teachers would call me Halle in school, her name was even my AIM name all through middle and High School (I still proudly have and use it.) Through her films, she gave me the foundation for the actress I wanted to be. From Queen to Jungle Fever from Introducing Dorothy Dandridge to Frankie and Alice… Halle showed me what hard work could create.
A friend of mine is about to embark on bringing Halle’s story to the stage and I couldn’t be happier for her. Halle is a great character to examine.
This week I salute Halle!

“This effort to specifically redefine anti-Semitism in a way that encompasses basically any criticism of Israel has really gained ground in the last several years,” says Dima Khalidi, founder and director of Palestine Legal. “To the extent that this definition has been codified in laws around the world, including in the US and Europe, especially.”
While high-profile figures like Emma Watson and Mark Ruffalo have faced intense backlash for speaking up for the rights of Palestinians, it is mainly academics and college students who face the most retaliation on campuses across the United States and Europe.
“It forces students and professors to really self-censor in profound ways,” says Barry Trachtenberg, a historian and professor of Jewish history at Wake Forest University.
“This is about people’s reputations, about people’s jobs, about the way that we can operate, and talk, in a civil society … And it’s just the tip of the iceberg, right? When we look at the ways that Israel and Israel advocacy groups here in the US have attacked Palestine advocacy through harassment campaigns,” Khalidi says.
But there has been a shift in questioning the official narrative on Israeli government practices, especially within the Jewish community in the US. “Because the gap between the promise of Israel and the reality of Israel has just grown so great, and as younger generations are paying more attention to questions of racism in America, systematic oppression of people of colour, of engaging in issues of queer rights, people recognise that there can’t be this exception for Israel,” says Trachtenberg.
On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with Palestine Legal founder and director Dima Khalidi, and professor and chair of Jewish History at Wake Forest University Barry Trachtenberg to discuss the cost of speaking up for Palestinian rights.

Potty Mouth Mayor Apologizes for the Sh*t Hitting the Kings' Fans
Los Angeles, California –
After leaving the stage of the live televised broadcast of the L.A. King’s Stanley Cup championship celebration holding a beer can and dropping the F-bomb, Los Angeles mayor, Eric Garcetti, was asked by reporters with tongue-in-cheek “What’s the second rule a politician should never break?”
“Listen, first of all, I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to all the parents that I might have offended by consuming an alcoholic beverage on TV,” said the mayor at a press conference the following day.
“Obviously, the event was promoted as a family affair with children present in the audience and at home watching TV," continued the mayor. "Therefore, my actions were inappropriate. However, I d’ like to add in my defense, that I originally covered up the can of beer. But the mother [BLEEP] brown paper bag I had it in slipped off.”
A reporter then reminded the mayor that he never got to the second rule a politician should never break.
“Oh that,” dismissively replied the mayor while pausing a moment to take a sip from a brown paper bag. “Getting caught in a motel room with a dead prostitute in your mother [BLEEP] bed, of course. And all you A-holes can quote me on that. GO KINGS!”

KUCHING: The Minimum Wages Order (Amendment) 2018 came into effect nationwide yesterday (Jan 1).
Sarawak Labour Department director Awang Raduan Awang Omar said the order provides that uniformed minimum wages shall apply throughout the country, including Sabah and Sarawak.
He said the new order stipulated that wages of RM1,100 per month should be paid to an employee who is paid monthly and RM5.29 per hour for an employee who is paid hourly.
He explained that for a daily wage employee, the minimum wage amount is fixed according to the number of working days in a week.
“The new order applies to employees in all sectors and businesses employers.
“However, this order is obsolete for domestic servants, as definable under Labour Ordinance Section 2 (Sarawak Chapter 76),” says Awang Raduan.
He said this during a media briefing at the Sarawak Labour Department Headquarters at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar here today.
Prior to this, the Minimum Wages Order 2016 decided that the minimum wage was about RM1,000 a month in Peninsular Malaysia and RM920 a month in Sabah, Sarawak and Federal Territory of Labuan.
Awang Raduan reiterated that for domestic servants employed under domestic homes related and not related to any trades, businesses or a profession that is run by employers in their homes, this minimum wage order does not apply.
“I urge all employers to take heed of this order and follow it,” he said.
He added that those who do not pay the basic salary amount to their employees as stipulated in the Minimum Wages Order (Amendment) 2018 would be committing an offence and if found guilty, could be fined not more than RM10,000 for each employee.
Apart from that, he said the Court could order employers to pay the difference between the minimum wage amount and the basic salary amount to the employees, and any other payment deemed fit from the salary calculations according to the minimum wage.
“If continuous offences are made, a daily penalty of not more than RM1,000 applies until conviction.
“If a repeated offence is made, there will be a penalty of not more than RM20,000 or not more than five years imprisonment,” he said.
Today, the Sarawak Labour Department has opened 76 investigation papers on employers who failed to pay minimum wage.
“Out of 76 investigation papers, 25 cases have been brought to court and 20 cases were found guilty,” he said.
The amount of fines collected from employers who did not abide to the minimum wage totaled RM135,591.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective has seen a lot of play recently for a character almost 130 years old. Guy Ritchie’s grittier 2009 take on the world’s most famous detective (one that saw him fighting crime as much as solving it) was followed by a sequel film, and BBC’s own incredibly successful adaption hit the airwaves a year later and is now heading into a much awaited 3rd series. With an already existing plethora of choices, one might be tempted to bypass CBS’ take. Surely one Sherlock adaption is much the same as the next, right?
Wrong. Now hitting its stride in its second season, “Elementary” has enjoyably set itself apart. Here are five ways it distinguishes itself from its contenders:
5. Re-imagining Holmes, Not Retelling
Richie’s movies maintain the usual Victorian setting and the BBC’s attention to updating the elements of classic canon is worthy of serious applause, but “Elementary” dares to reinvent instead of just rehash. Sherlock lives in New York, not 221b. (It’s not as blasphemous as it sounds–promise.) Watson isn’t an injured war doctor but an ex-surgeon turned sober companion for Holmes. On paper, the changes made might seem to make the show a Sherlock case study in name only, but in reality they give “Elementary” the freedom it needs to explore the world and the characters without sticking to a predictable script. By freeing the story to take on new directions, “Elementary” maintains a critical quality that all Holmes cases should have: suspense.
4. Source Material Shout-Outs
Just because “Elementary” doesn’t stick to the original script doesn’t mean it hasn’t done its research. It remains aware of its iconic history and treats its past with respect. Dedicated fans will recognize the name of the show’s Lestrade expy, Captain Gregson, to be a subtle reference to Lestrade’s associate from “A Study in Scarlet.” Moriarty can still be easily recognized by the stolen paintings in the foyer. Even the show’s opening credits are reminiscent of the mousetrap from Disney’s own Holmsian adaption, “The Great Mouse Detective.” And yes, Sherlock still keeps bees. “Elementary” forges on into new material as is needed to keep its plots fresh and interesting, but never leaves its legacy behind for good.
3. Interesting Cases
“Elementary” isn’t just a mythology adaption; it is also a crime procedural. One demand of this particular weekly television medium is that it can’t be all Sherlock references all the time; the crimes the protagonists solve have to be just as engaging as the Holmsian elements. The show employs a formula reminiscent of many other police procedural shows, only with their own literary twist. Thankfully, the show’s crimes are intriguing and usually quite clever. Sure, watchers genre savvy enough can probably figure out who the killer is before the halfway mark, but the writers have developed some genuinely entertaining ways to off their victim of the week, but watching Holmes and Watson unravel the clues keeps viewers guessing.
2. Understands How Technology Works
Nothing is more annoying than watching a crime procedural where the word “hacker” seems to be synonymous with “wizardly plot device.” It’s a recognized and much lampooned trope on some crime shows to “enhance” a grainy photo by zooming in, the image resolution magically not deteriorating or hampering the detective’s search for clues. Though they make the occasional techno-babble hand-waves, in general, the writers of “Elementary” are on the ball in terms of knowing what the capabilities of computers, video cameras, and even 3D printers actually would be if being used for murder, extortion, or crime solving. They even have some sense of how the Internet works as a culture–as evidenced by Sherlock’s hobbies of purposefully starting fights in forums and, in one episode, a demand from said forum-goers for a picture of “shoe on head” as an apology. Sherlock complies.
1. Dr. Joan Watson
Liu’s straight-woman Watson contrasting Sherlock’s bizarre shenanigans is phenomenal. An expert in boundaries, this Watson is far from a bumbling sidekick, nor is she simply Sherlock’s handler. Instead, she enforces order and brings empathy to the chaotic, terrible world Sherlock operates in. Unlike other adaptions where Watson’s own intelligence is pushed out of the spotlight of Sherlock’s brilliance, “Elementary” has Joan playing an equitable role. She may not be a deductive genius, but she was still a surgeon– that takes brains! As the series goes on, her own deductive skills are honed so that she and Sherlock can begin to trade barbs and observations together, each supporting the other. She is a partner worthy of the great detective, and her friendship with Sherlock is without a doubt the keystone to the entire series.
Have you watched Elementary? What do you think? Does it stand up to the other adaptions? Which Irene Adler would win in a fight? Let us know in the comments.


Introduction to Soil Sampling
Abundance and quality of the organic carbon (C) are two among the parameters assisting to distinguish soils from surface rocks and loose deposits. Soil scientists widely recognize soil C to be one of the major product of the soil formation, which in turn drives principle soil-ecological functions, e.g., regulatory role of soils in global biogeochemical cycle of C. Soil is the second large organic carbon (C) pool in the Earth (IPCC, 2001). This pool comprises the long-term C storage measured by 1 x 102-103 years. In comparison, the lifetime period of C in vegetation varies within 1 x 102 years and decay of litter takes up to 10 years. Heteroptophic soil respiration exchanges 10% of carbon dioxide (CO2) of the atmosphere annually (Raich et al., 1995). Therefore the significance of the soil in the global C cycle is difficult to estimate.
The role of soils in the Kyoto protocol is limited only to agriculture, e.g., the protocol underlines the necessity to account the changes in greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks in the agricultural soils (Article 3.4, INFCCC, 1998). The protocol is silent regarding possible affect of land use, land use change and forestry on soils (Article 3.3). This missing was furnished later by two supplementary reports: (1) Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) (IPCC, 2000) and (2) Good Practice Guidance for LULUCF (IPCC, 2003) identifying soil organic C to be an obligatory to account when implementing Articles 3.3 (afforestation, reforestation and deforestation since 1990). However, the general norms provided by these documents on accounting as well as on countrywide reporting are insufficient to be applied in the agricultural fields and forests exclusively. There is a need to develop a reliable method on soil sampling to certify the changes of carbon stock in soils, lack of which might be a serious obstacle for the Kyoto implementation in EU.
The IPCC (2003) proposes to assess the changes of C stock in soils as a difference between two independently estimated spatially-averaged C contents of mineral soils for the reference (baseline) and new (current) observation. The uncertainty of the estimate arrives from the variability of soil parameters, which demand considerable amount of samples to reach required (95%) confidence level of the C stock changes detection. This makes soils involvement in C account expensive and impractical.
The suggested method of soil sampling is different. It introduces area frame sampling combining traditional in agrochemistry composite sampling with random geopositioning of the sampling sites in the field. This method insures a reproducibility of the sampling sites in the followed up samplings, which allows to minimize the amount of the samples to the practical level. In addition, this method substantialises difference in soils by LULUCF categories, e.g., IPCC oversimplifies representation of soils by viewing only one soil layer (0-30 cm) for cropland, pastures and forests. The change of C stock is proposed to be certified by the weight of C and standard error.
The overall purpose of the present study is to provide simple, acceptable and adaptable guidelines to make soil sampling relevant to the purposes of the Kyoto, namely remain practically feasible accounting soil diversity, statistically sound and economically viable.

Regular vets religiously sell and promote Hills Prescription Diets and Hills Science Diet and don't really care to hear about protests from clients about by-products and corn. Holistic vets strongly believe cat owners should feed raw meat diets. What kind of vet is right for a person who doesn't want to be sold Hill's or walk into a clinic where Hill's products line the shelves and dominate the veterinary clinc but doesn't want to have to switch their cats to a raw meat diet either. I think we need some more open minded, flexible vets. It seems they're either one way or the other and there is no in between.

Zgornji Brnik is quiet, and in the middle of some picturesque agricultural land. There are a shop and bar close to Ani's, and a restaurant not far away, but it's worth the 20-minute walk to Cerklje na Gorenjskem for more shops, bars, cafés, and an ATM.
Unless you're planning on going to Bled or Ljubljana, which you can get to by shuttle from the airport, or to Kranj, which you can get to by infrequent bus from Zgornji Brnik, the closest things to visit are Grad Strmol or Krvavec mountain bike park. The former is a bit underwhelming, but the latter is worth doing for the Alpine meadows and mountain views.
Basically, worth it if you have an early flight to catch, but its patchy transport links make it a bit of a false economy if you're planning on spending more than a night there.


VB6 installs just fine on Windows 7, Windows 8 and even Windows 10 with a few caveats.
Just follow instructions bellow to make VisualBasic 6 IDE (VisualStudio) works on your system.
Here is how to install VB6 on Windows 7/8/10
- Before proceeding with the installation process below, create a zero-byte file in
MSJAVA.DLL. The setup process will look for this file, and if it doesn’t find it, will force an installation of old, old Java, and require a reboot. By creating the zero-byte file, the installation of moldy Java is bypassed, and no reboot will be required.
- Turn off UAC.
- Insert Visual Studio 6 CD.
- Exit from the Autorun setup.
- Browse to the root folder of the VS6 CD.
Run As Administrator.
- On this and other Program Compatibility Assistant warnings, click Run Program.
- Click Next.
- Click “I accept agreement”, then Next.
- Enter name and company information, click Next.
- Select Custom Setup, click Next.
- Click Continue, then Ok.
- Setup will “think to itself” for about 2 minutes. Processing can be verified by starting Task Manager, and checking the CPU usage of ACMSETUP.EXE.
- On the options list, select the following:
- Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
- Data Access
- All other options should be unchecked.
- Click Continue, setup will continue.
- Finally, a successful completion dialog will appear, at which click Ok. At this point, Visual Basic 6 is installed.
- If you do not have the MSDN CD, clear the checkbox on the next dialog, and click next. You’ll be warned of the lack of MSDN, but just click Yes to accept.
- Click Next to skip the installation of Installshield. This is a really old version you don’t want anyway.
- Click Next again to skip the installation of BackOffice, VSS, and SNA Server. Not needed!
- On the next dialog, clear the checkbox for “Register Now”, and click Finish.
- The wizard will exit, and you’re done. You can find VB6 under Start, All Programs, Microsoft Visual Studio 6. Enjoy!
- Turn On UAC again
What to do after VB6 installation on Windows 7/8/10
You might notice after successfully installing VB6 on Windows 7 that working in the IDE is a bit, well, sluggish. For example, resizing objects on a form is a real pain.
- After installing VB6, you’ll want to change the compatibility settings for the IDE executable.
- Using Windows Explorer, browse the location where you installed VB6. By default, the path is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\
- Right click the VB6.exe program file, and select properties from the context menu.
- Click on the Compatibility tab.
- Place a check in each of these checkboxes:
- Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
- Disable Visual Themes
- Disable Desktop Composition
- Disable display scaling on high DPI settings
- If you have UAC turned on, it is probably advisable to check the ‘Run this program as an Administrator’ box
After changing these settings, fire up the IDE, and things should be back to normal, and the IDE is no longer sluggish.

Yes, it’s true: winter started yesterday. Snow is falling slowly but constantly and covering the landscape with a thin white blanket. After about 24 hours of snowing the coverage is approximately 1 -2 cm thick. Not much yet, but it’s enough to hinder the traffic enormously. Many traffic jams and accidents were reported in the evening news yesterday and even flights were canceled because of the slippy snow.
This weekend we had had the first Advent. That means, that the Christmas market in our city took place again. As usual there were several booths build up on the old market place in front of the protestant church in the old town.
And as usual, many of the booths were operated by local clubs, like sports clubs or social clubs, offering food or drinks. They offered green cabbage with roasted potatoes and Mettwurst (a type of German sausage), bratwurst, French fries and waffles to eat and hot coffee, tea, cacao, punch and spiced wine (Glühwein) as well as cold beer from our local brewery. There were also some stands selling Christmas decoration stuff. At one stand they sold warm pullovers, gloves, wool scarfs and wool toques. For small kids there were three different merry-go-rounds. For older kids a mobile smith offered to forge an artistic object. There also was a stage for different music bands playing Christmas songs.
You can find a Christmas market in nearly every German city during the Advent. In most cities th Christmas markets lasts 4 weeks and in some big cities you can even found more than one. On the other hand, in smaller cities the Christmas markets are only run on a few days, like in city where I live. Here the Christmas market lasts only one weekend. (Beside, they started this year already on Thursday than on Friday as before).
The Breitach is here a young, small river and a Klam is a narrow and deep valley, the river goes through, a flume. This flume is very deep and the water has formed the stone in an interesting and impressive way.
We visited the Breitach Klam during our trip to the Alpes. It lasts haf a day. Even it was a nice and sunny day, it was cold in the Klamm because of the moisture in the air and on all stones. Water falls from above the Klamm and the river goes very fast.
Don’t wonder about the fancy colors at the walls. All the colors are real. I guess they come from reflecting the sky.
During our trip to the Alpes we also had a little hike mountian up. Even it was a bit exhausting, because we’re not trained to do such hikes, it was nice to enjoy the beautiful landscape from there.
The snow, that did fall a few days earlier, made the landscape look even more beautiful.
This morning my wife found an Alpine newt in the water in our guests toilet. We’re not living in the countryside, but in a small city. Thus it’s quite a surprise to find such an animal in the garden. Though the surprise was even bigger to find it in the house. We also don’t have a pond.
Never the less, we fetched it out of the toilet.
Here are some pictures I’ve taken before we set him free at the pond of our neighbors.
Have you ever seen paradise birds flying free in the sky? I have, and it was so wonderful to look at them. It seemed to me that they had so much fun in flying. It seemed to me that they were playing tag with each other and flying one loop after another just for fun.
This is the White-tailed Tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus ). I saw them several times and it was a pleasure to observe them. Their flights impressed me very much.
I also saw the black Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher, a very rare black paradise bird. I only saw one bird twice. When I it first I didn’t have a camera with me, because I came back from snorkeling. At the second time I saw one I was unable to place a good shot because the bird only flew short distances from one tree to another hiding itself in the leaves. According to Wikipedia there are only about 200 black Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher couples living on La Digue. So I’m happy for have seen one.
There were also some other birds. But until now I’m unable to identify them all. I’ll post them later.

Evolution may have swayed the rabbits, rodents, and deer of the world to live a crepuscular twilight life to avoid the threat of day and night predators, but some predators also evolved to follow suit - whether it be to avoid the daytime heat, or to take advantage of certain meandering morsels during the half-light period. Although active during the day and night, the bear family (all eight of them) are predominantly crepuscular opportunists.

When it is no longer day, but not quite night, the jaguar and the bunny come out to play. But how do these two diverse creatures get along?

As we touched on in the previous blog, crepuscular critters are so called because they're most active during twilight: but every half-light loving creature has their own reasons as to why they prefer this mystical period of the day. And our friend the bunny has a very compelling reason indeed.

Some of us bounce out of bed ready to embrace the early morning, and are at their most productive during the ante meridiem period. Others sluggishly drag themselves out of their slumber, failing to hit a maximum productive peak until later in the day, (I shan't disclose what time of day I'm writing this piece). But regardless of whether you're a 'lark' or an 'night owl', the human species is fundamentally a 'diurnal' animal, i.e. active during the day. Although did you know, your pet dog - if left to their own devices - would naturally be more active not during the day or night, but during twilight!

The Rabbit or Hare is a popular companion in the DM Collection but how did it its imprint come to be on the moon's surface? We need to look to myth and its origins for the answer. Mankind, (the ultimate adapter), studied the behaviour of their fellow forest dwelling animals, and learnt many invaluable survival skills from them. They made up stories involving the beasts, and many tales were passed from generation to generation, teaching man what to look for in nature, and most importantly what to avoid.Read More

Best Paint tool SAI Alternatives will be discussed in this article. A lightweight digital painting programme called Paint Tool SAI is particularly well-liked by artists because of how user-friendly it is and the variety of tools it offers. It is the ideal piece of software for learning digital art and producing concept art.
Top 8 Best Paint tool SAI Alternatives In 2023
In this article, you can know about Paint tool SAI Alternatives here are the details below;
SAI may be applied to both painting and sketching. However, there is a need for alternatives, and therefore: Paint Tool SAI does not allow animation, layer blend mode, or saving files as JPEGs or PNGs. Additionally, SAI only allows you to select from a limited number of colour options and only allows you to create up to three layers at once.
The graphics editing software Adobe Photoshop was created and released by Adobe Systems. It is the company’s flagship product and the market manager for commercial bitmap & image manipulation software now. One of the first “killer apps” for the Macintosh and later for Microsoft Windows, it has been called “an industry standard for graphics professionals.”
Photoshop has established itself as the de facto industry standard for raster graphics processing, with phrases like “to Photoshop an image,” “photoshop,” and “photoshopped” using the word as a verb. Multiple layers can be used to edit and construct images. The following colour models are supported: RGB, CIELAB, spot colour, CMYK, duotone, and alpha compositing.
A photographic image can be corrected with Photoshop’s image retouching tools to get rid of red-eye, scratches, and other flaws. Additionally, it has tools for gradient mapping and an automatic correction capability that enables colour correction of an image. Although SAI is free, it lacks Photoshop’s capabilities. It has numerous restrictions that Photoshop does not. For instance, Photoshop allows you to modify both text and graphics in the same window. In SAI, you must learn to use both the text and graphics windows at once when they are both open. It is possible but learning how to use both applications takes time.
We advise installing Adobe Photoshop rather than SAI if you are just getting started with graphics editing software because it has a far more user-friendly interface (for beginners).
Because it is free and simple to use, FireAlpaca is a perfect substitute for Paint Tool SAI. It also includes many of the same capabilities that helped SAI become so well-known in the first place. It contains all the functionality required by professional illustrators because it was designed as a drawing and painting tool for professional artists. FireAlpaca is accessible in ten different languages and works with both Windows& Mac OS X.
The fundamental paint tools in FireAlpaca are one of those functions, and they are exactly as effective as those in programmes like Photoshop or Paint Tool SAI. The programme features pencil tools, erasers, and brushes that can be used to paint or sketch.
In contrast to Paint Tool SAI, FireAlpaca includes a complete range of text editing capabilities that let users add text to their artwork. More than forty distinct typefaces are available in the software, including some of the most widely used ones including Helvetica, Arial, and Times New Roman. Additionally, the programme allows users to upload their completed works to social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter so they may share them with friends or publish them online for everyone to see.
With the help of the cloud-based programme MediBang, you may edit digital art on any device. It works with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android gadgets. You can edit your work with MediBang online without needing to install anything. Its user-friendly interface makes it simple for beginners to understand the fundamentals of creating digital art. Additionally, MediBang provides a tonne of lessons to get you going. The programme is easy to use, but it also has advanced capabilities including a variety of brushes (from watercolour to acrylic), rulers (such as perfect symmetry or perspective), and even unique effects that can be applied to photographs (from impressionist to tilt-shift).
Additionally, MediBang offers a tonne of helpful tools like layers and blend modes that make editing photos easy. Pencils, markers, and erasers are additional tools that allow you to draw stunning illustrations with only one click. With the built-in comic creator in MediBang, you can organise your page layout, add panels and gutters automatically, and even add letters! MediBang Paint is a serious candidate for one of the finest Paint Tool SAI alternatives just based on one feature. Depending on the amount of cloud storage, MediBang costs between 2,480 and 7,980 JPY annually.
Every artist can use the high-quality painting programme Autodesk SketchBook. The tools in Autodesk SketchBook are excellent for starting from nothing when making digital art. Even beginners can easily use the app due to its straightforward UI. Without needing to master complicated hardware or software, you may start creating right away. It is unpaid! There are versions of Autodesk Sketchbook for macOS, Windows 10, Android, and iOS. Also check PikaShow Alternatives
It is immediately available for download and can be utilized by anyone with an internet association. It does not matter if you are just getting started or if the most recent version of Adobe Photoshop is not loaded on your computer. Many of the brushes in Autodesk SketchBook are distinctive and simple to use. The “Synthetic Pressure” brush is one such tool that lets you choose how much pressure to apply to your canvas. Your lines will look smoother and more natural as a result. Since the information is not currently available on their website, contact support for price specifics.
With its many useful and distinctive features, Clip Studio Paint (formerly known as Manga Studio) is a full-featured digital painting programme that is perfect for rendering and inking. You may paint and generate any type of illustration you want with its many tools and custom brushes, and it is simple to learn. Unlike SAI, which is exclusively compatible with Windows-based computers, Clip Studio Paint runs on both Mac and Windows machines. It supports the Wacom Cintiq range of drawing tablets, which are high-quality drawing tablets with built-in LCD monitors that serve as secondary displays and let artist’s sketch right on the screen.
As a result of the software’s support for vector layers, you may also construct multi-page documents, storyboards by adding panels or pages, and scale images without sacrificing quality. Additionally, you can incorporate 3D models as reference materials in your artwork.
For professional artists, Corel Painter is a piece of digital art software. It has a variety of brush and tool styles that let you make realistic paintings without a physical canvas. It is an excellent tool for people who enjoy painting but lack the time to do so. With more than seven hundred brushes, there is a brush for every medium, including oils, watercolours, pastels, and charcoal. You can also design your own unique brushes that will function with all your preferred media types.
Even if you are unfamiliar with digital art, the interface is simple to use and understand. You can turn pictures or drawings into paintings by importing them as vector files for painters. This implies that you are free to use any image as inspiration when producing your artwork! If you want more than just painting software but do not need all the features of Photoshop or Illustrator, Corel Painter is a wonderful option. All the features of SAI are included and even more in Corel Painter. More crucially, without having to manually change the parameters every time you wish to paint, Painter’s brush engine can produce brushes that behave exactly like conventional media (like oils or watercolours, for example). Corel Painter is available for $499 in full price or for $199 for a one-year subscription. Also check PDF Drive Alternatives
A graphic design tool called Canva is used to make social media graphics, papers, posters, presentations, and other visual content. The programme already includes a number of editable templates. With Canva’s drag-and-drop functionality and expert layouts, you can create gorgeous graphics in no time! Additionally, you can upload images and logos. Canva has mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows in addition to its website. Thanks to Canva’s extensive array of possibilities, stunning designs can be made. You must buy another licence if you wish to use the programme on more than one computer because the licence does not cover multiple computers. When you need to access your artwork files while travelling or borrowing a friend’s computer, this can be annoying. Unlike Canva, Paint Tool SAI only lets you save your file as aped or. Sai file type. For most social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.), there are pre-made designs available, so you are no longer concerned with image sizing. Custom sizes can also be made for your designs.
MyPaint allows digital artists to quickly and easily produce graphics. It is an open source, free piece of software that runs on Windows, macOS, & Linux. A variety of brushes are included in MyPaint for simulating genuine media. You can play with your brushes and paint thanks to the brush engine’s adjustable features. The photos are automatically stored in its native file format, unlike Paint Tool SAI, thus you can save an infinite number of images. Thanks to OpenGL acceleration, brushstrokes appear on the screen instantly in full resolution without any delays.
Create layers of paint that you can later reorder, combine, or paint over. The number of layers is simply constrained by your computer’s memory. Alpha channels can be locked too! You can hide the interface to prevent it from detracting from your work. In MyPaint, you may also use modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl) to lock certain parameters, such size and opacity, so that they will not change when you choose a new brush or swap between the foreground and background. MyPaint’s extremely customisable brushes are its most notable feature. You can create countless numbers of unique brushes from scratch or obtain brushes created by others online.


K23-33 RS City
The K23-33 RS City with a hook height of almost 33 m has been one of Klaas’ most popular trailer cranes for many years. With its lateral range of 23 m with a load of 250 kg, it features an enormous radius of action. The aluminium crane can be converted into a work platform in a few minutes without tools, thus enabling varied, safe work on the building site. Thanks to its self-drive mechanism it is able to manoeuvre into suitable gap with pinpoint accuracy and be shortened to 7 m due to its retractable drawbar. As a single axle model with a low net weight of 3.5 t, it is also easy to handle in tight spaces.

A strategy to measure the overall impact of the NGP overtime was developed by ERDB scientists and first tested in a 350-hectare NGP planting site in Siniloan, Laguna in 2013. Its application has been expanded to 79 planting sites where baseline data on biological, physical, spatial, and socio-economic components were examined prior to NGP tree planting activities. Baseline data will be compared with the data to be gathered in 2016 and beyond using appropriate scientific analysis to determine the NGP impact.
The main purpose of biological baselining/benchmarking is to assess the composition of the NGP site prior to the introduction of tree planting activities in terms of its biological status using indices of diversity evenness, dominance, and community coefficient.
PHYSICAL COMPONENT (SOIL AND WATER RESOURCES)
This component focuses on using the physical features in assessing the stability, nutrient cycling, and hydrological function status of the landscape where NGP activities will be implemented
This component aims to assess the existing socio-economic condition of the target NGP beneficiaries prior to the implementation of the program. Baseline information on the social conditions, economic characteristics, and awareness on NGP shall be gathered through face-to-face interviews with an aide of an interview schedule.
This component describes the procedures for making GIS-based maps and other spatial information necessary to support the baselining activity for the NGP site. Its main objective is to produce maps and generate spatial information necessary to support the baseline characterization of biological, physical, and socio-economic conditions of an NGP site.

Suzuki Motor to invest $970 million in second production line in Gujarat: report
- Rahul Gandhi to begin three-day Gujarat visit from Monday
- Narayan Rane to meet Amit Shah in Delhi tomorrow
- Germany elections: Angela Merkel wins 4th term as far-right party enters parliament
- Eye on 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Mayawati to hold rallies across India
- Maruti Suzuki Dzire overtakes Alto as India’s best-selling car in August
Bengaluru: Japan’s Suzuki Motor Corp will invest about ¥100 billion ($970.97 million) in a second vehicle production line at its new plant in Gujarat, even before operations have begun, the Nikkei reported on Friday.
The second line could debut in early 2019, the report said, and will manufacture the same yearly volume as the first production line, which is slated to debut in 2017.
The addition of the production lines are expected to increase Suzuki’s manufacturing capacity to 2 million cars a year, the paper said.
The new factory in Gujarat will manufacture models such as the Baleno hatchback, with vehicles for export also being considered due to Gujarat being a major port, Nikkei said.
Suzuki’s unit, Maruti Suzuki India, had earmarked an investment of about Rs18,500 crore ($2.77 billion) for the Gujarat plan in December last year, to set up six production lines capable of producing 250,000 vehicles each, Reuters reported in December.
Suzuki Motor said vehicles sales in India, its biggest market, rose 5.2% in the April-June period. Bloomberg


text: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes a cascade of degenerative events including cell death, axonal damage, and the upregulation of inhibitory molecules which prevent regeneration and limit recovery. Repulsive guidance molecule A (RGMa) is a potent neurite growth inhibitor in the central nervous system, exerting its repulsive activity by binding the Neogenin receptor. Here, we show for the first time that inhibitory RGMa is markedly upregulated in multiple cell types after clinically relevant impact-compression SCI in rats, and importantly, also in the injured human spinal cord. To neutralize inhibitory RGMa, clinically relevant human monoclonal antibodies were systemically administered after acute SCI, and were detected in serum, cerebrospinal fluid, and in the injured tissue. Rats treated with RGMa blocking antibodies showed significantly improved recovery of motor function and gait. Furthermore, RGMa blocking antibodies promoted neuronal survival, and enhanced the plasticity of descending serotonergic pathways and corticospinal tract axonal regeneration. RGMa antibody also attenuated neuropathic pain responses, which was associated with fewer activated microglia and reduced CGRP expression in the dorsal horn caudal to the lesion. These results show the therapeutic potential of the first human RGMa antibody for SCI and uncovers a new role for the RGMa/Neogenin pathway on neuropathic pain.

- "An Italian that is rough around the edges but smooth where it counts and plenty of gas in the tank to go the extra mile with sexual analogies."
- ―Southernsanandreassuperautos.com description.
The Ruffian is manufactured by the supercar company Pegassi and is mainly based on the Ducati Monster design, with similar engine molding, gas tank, headlight, taillights, exhaust system and seats, albeit with a longer, wider tail section.
The Ruffian is a very quick and versatile sportsbike. It's one of the fastest bikes in the game, only falling behind the Bati 801, Dinka Akuma and Shitzu Vader. Like other high-end motorcycles in GTA V, it is powered by a water cooled L3 engine giving it excellent acceleration and decent top speed. Greater stability is credited to its longer wheelbase, which makes cruising at high speeds safer than other shorter bikes. On the other hand, cornering does suffer from this. It is considerably less agile than other motorcycles thus not well suited for twisty race circuits. Stunt agility, however, is notable. Pulling tricks with this bike is quite easy thanks to its high ride height, ease of performing wheelies and light weight.
- There is a streetfighter variant of the Ruffian, which you will usually receive when you order this motorbike in the Southernsanandreassuperautos.com website.
- Can sometimes be found driving in Vinewood.
- Can be obtained during the mission Paleto Score Setup. Even if the mission is finished by Michael, Trevor can still adquire it in the car impound.
- Can be bought for $10,000 (GTA V)/$9,000 (GTA Online) in the Southernsanandreassuperautos.com website.
- 'Ruffian' is a word used to describe a violent person, usually involved in crime.
- Its name could be a reference to Ruffian, an American champion thoroughbred racehorse.
- The Ruffian looks very similar to the PCJ-600 motorcycle. Having the same engine arrangement, wheelbase, front fork and front brakes.
- A streetfighter variant is also available as a random trim.
- With the bodywork mod, it will to look very similar to the Akuma. A good way to determine the difference is by looking at the headlights, for the Akuma has two small bulbs and the Ruffian has two large bulbs.
- It possible to modify the bike in GTA V so that it has no rear number plate, which would make it illegal to drive on the road. Other vehicles that lack plates include the Sanchez, the Zentorno, the PCJ-600 (once modified) and the Dune Buggy, although it could be argued the latter is not supposed to be a road-legal vehicle.
