They create jagged jigsaws, delicately tendrilled frets, wide geometric blocks of it. One and then another Central American culture (Zapotecs, Aztecs, and more) use the stepped fret patterns in endless variety, scale, and medium. It stuns in at least one pyramid with a weight-bearing fret pattern made from stone so well-notched it needed no mortar. The design winks at us in masterfully carved stonework. Mitla shows abundant use of the stepped fret pattern. ![]() ![]() Images via Gianni Dagli Orti/Shutterstock, Stephanie Colasanti/Shutterstock, and Historia/Shutterstock. So, the pattern may not have been passed from one of these cultures to the other, but somehow there it is in Mexico, at the Mitla ruins from 900 BCE. The world is still a place where communication between disparate geographies-Central America, Greece, China-is unlikely. In the next leg of the Greek key journey, the pattern shows up in Central America around 900 BCE. The fret pattern has legs (and a hidden time machine). and see the same design snaking its way around a ceramic Chinese plate. The design is so deeply entrenched in China’s history that even now, more than two thousand years later, you can go to an old-school Chinese restaurant in the U.S. The pattern is also revealed centuries later on a scrap of wool trousers dating 800 BCE (the oldest pants in the world). ![]() A millennia later, Rolling Thunder motifs are painted on richly decorative Chinese caves from 1038-1227 BCE. Whichever ways the Chinese accented this design, once it shows up in their culture, the pattern never leaves.

![]() Instead of scraping by with Google Tasks, get the full task management functionality you’re used to by adding GQueues to your Google Workspace. Very useful! While Google Tasks is an option for your task management needs, it’s functionality is still pretty limited, especially when it comes to sharing your tasks with others. ![]() They even have a section specifically for making Gmail look like Outlook. Google has helpful guides for how to handle most of these transitions. There are lots of adjustments to get used to when you switch from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace. Google’s great in lots of ways, but one place they’re lacking is the task management department. If you rely on Outlook’s task functionality to stay on top of your work, what are you supposed to do when your company migrates to Google Workspace? Or you switch jobs for a company that’s already deep in the Google ecosystem? There’s no way you’re going back to a physical planner and giving up the timely reminders telling you to get your work done. If it needed to be done, I made it a task. I assigned them to my teammates after we doled out work at weekly meetings. I scheduled recurring monthly and yearly tasks so I wouldn’t ever forget work that happened less frequently. As anyone who’s switched to a digital planner will know, being able to keep track of my action items in the same place as my email and calendar was a major game changer. I had always gotten by with writing out a to-do list in my notebook or putting sticky notes on my monitor. Then I learned about a feature that completely converted me: Tasks (now known as To Do). If I hadn’t been required to use Outlook, I probably wouldn’t have chosen to. I was less excited to learn Microsoft Outlook. And it came with free snacks on Thursdays!. When I started my first full-time job, I was pumped. ![]() To promote humane principles, prevent cruelty and alleviate fear, pain and suffering in animals.SAC has certified Humane Investigators who for several years, responded to reports of abuse or neglect in Hot Spring & Garland Counties intervening whenever necessary by way of education, or if need be prosecution. It is with sadness in our hearts we must inform our supporters that due to the difficulty in obtaining assistance from local law enforcement we can longer provide this service. We are proud to be an all-volunteer organization where our donations directly benefit our rescued pets as we do not pay people to provide care for our pets nor to operate our thrift store. Thankfully there is no shelter facility with large overhead costs to cover. We are a “No Kill” organization as we never have a healthy or treatable pet euthanized. Our program isn't limited to just healthy animals, particular breeds or the highly adoptable. ![]() Stop Animal Cruelty is the premier animal welfare organization in our area. People often confuse us with the local “Humane Society” or “Animal Control” however they are different organizations entirely. Most people are surprised to hear we only have foster homes and no shelter. All of which is accomplished by volunteers and with volunteer foster homes. ![]() Stop Animal Cruelty amazingly rescues, re-homes or assist in the re-homing of 800 to 1,000 pets each year. It is not just the right thing to do it's who we are. For SAC volunteers, rescuing is a way of life it's not just a trend. All rescue partners are "no kill" rescue groups with similar adoption procedures. We re-home as many of them as possible ourselves but in order to allow our rescues a broader chance at adoption, everyday we reach out to dozens of SAC rescue partners around the country with photos and detailed profiles of pets who are candidates for partner placement. Stop Animal Cruelty is an all-volunteer, 501 (c) (3) non profit animal welfare group that works tirelessly rescuing abused, abandoned, neglected and owner surrendered pets in both Hot Spring & Garland Counties. ![]() With the Sage, I can easily connect my Overdrive account using my home Wi-Fi network and download the ebooks I want to borrow. This feature has saved me a pretty penny buying new books. In Singapore, one big advantage of Kobo readers is their ability to sync ebooks borrowed from the National Library Overdrive app. Unfortunately, no luck if you want to plug in wired earphones via a 3.5mm port since the reader does not have one. You can listen in using your favourite Bluetooth earphones or headphones. Notably, the Sage is the first Kobo reader that comes with audiobook support, a feature on Amazon Kindle readers for some time now. The device is wider that the Libra H2O and less comfortable to hold for longer periods of time. The e-ink screen is tweaked with better contrast with a hint of yellow at daylight setting making it very comfortable to read.But the wider girth makes it heavier to hold it with one hand, especially for an extended period of time, when compared to the 7-inch Kobo H2O. With its dimensions at 160.5 mm x 181.4 mm x 7.6 mm, and packing a 1,200mAh battery, the Sage weighs in at 240.8 g. The reader’s screen can also introduce a warmer tone or switch to the “dark mode” for nighttime reading. The new screen seems crispier with better contrast and slightly warmer to reduce glare for a more comfortable read. The size of the Sage has increased with an 8-inch HD flush E Ink Carta 1200 screen, making it easier to show more content on the page. Like the Elipsa, Chinese characters in simplified forms are not presented at all.So, if you’re a bilingual user who utilises simplified Chinese characters for reading and searching books, like many users in Singapore do, this isn’t helpful. The reader is able to support Chinese characters for both reading and writing, but unfortunately, only the traditional form can be successfully read and transcribed from handwriting to typed text. I also like that the new PowerCover has a place to hold the stylus, making it easier to pack the reader and stylus into my bag while extending the battery power. ![]() The device is IPX8 water-resistant and comes with page-turn buttons that make reading easier. This is help when I want to annotate on an e-book or scribble some notes. The Sage has the same matte screen and stylus that emulate the pen-on-paper experience. If you love the Kobo Elipsa e-book reader’s stylus but want something a bit handier, then the new Kobo Sage should be an item on your shopping list this coming Christmas. In a mesmerizing display of feline allure, these extra-long stiletto nails extend like enchanted claws, commanding attention.

Take a look at these incredible ideas to give you inspiration! 1. ![]() To seal the design and add shine, a layer of top coat is applied. Regular magnetic polish typically air-dries. If gel polish is used, the nails are cured under a UV or LED lamp to set the design in place. The magnetic force causes the metallic particles in the polish to move and create a distinctive cat-eye pattern. Step 4: Move the Magnet Over the Polishīefore the magnetic polish dries completely, a small magnet is held closely over the nail without touching it. This polish contains metallic particles that respond to a magnet. Step 3: Apply the Magnetic PolishĪfter the base coat dries, a layer of special magnetic nail polish (lacquer or gel) is applied to the nails. Step 2: Paint the Base ColorĪfter applying the base coat, you can now apply a colored nail polish of your choice as the base color. Like any other nail design, the process begins with applying a clear base coat to protect the natural nails and promote better adhesion of nail polish. ![]() The result is nail art that stands out and adds an intriguing touch to any manicure! How Are Cat-Eye Nails Done?Ĭurious about how cat-eye nails are done? Read on to uncover the secret. The cat-eye effect can be achieved with various colors, allowing for creative combinations and designs. Typically, the pattern created is a striking diagonal slit or streak across each nail, which mimics the distinct angular shape of a cat’s pupils.īut this design can be recreated in different variations.įor instance, experimenting with moving or positioning the magnet in different ways over wet polish allows you to arrange the magnetic particles in wavy, swirly, or radial patterns.

That sophomore album won the band a Mercury Prize, so we're all excited to see what they do next. It's Wolf Alice's first new music since their extended hiatus following 2017's Visions of a Life. "Smile" is raw, honest, and a perfect catharsis for those moments when you're unfairly underestimated.īlue Weekend is set to come out on June 4 th, a week earlier than previously announced. She proclaims, "I ain't ashamed in the fact that I'm sensitive, I believe that it is the perfect adjective." She confidently asserts herself, commanding the respect she demands while pushing against assumptions and stereotypes. "Smile" is a statement of purpose, an anthem of affirmations in the midst of a world trying to bring you down. ![]() Wolf Alice won the 2022 Brit Award for Group of the Year. Blue Weekend received widespread critical acclaim, and was nominated for the 2021 Mercury Prize. Roswell's lyrics suit this new sound very well. Wolf Alice are an English rock band from London, England. It's a perfectly tense moment that erupts into the chorus, taking you on a rollercoaster of emotion. The verses keep the party going, with a crunchy bassline from Theo Ellis and a breathy speak-song performance from Ellie Roswell. After a brief, watery intro, the track bursts to life with a distorted guitar riff and energetic drums.

While their previous offering, "The Last Man on Earth," was a contemplative piano ballad, "Smile" turns the dial all the way to the right.

Smile lyrics Ah, ah, ah, ah, sun and the shine. We’re trying to raise £200 a month to help cover our operational costs. The band’s balance of strength and vulnerability is proudly on display here, encapsulated eloquently in the lyrics: “I ain’t ashamed in the fact that I’m sensitive … I am what I am and I’m good at it.” Fans and newcomers alike will find it hard to disagree with this statement. Where their last single floated like a butterfly, this one is a “honey bee sting.” The headstrong self-confidence of frontwoman Ellie Rowsell’s lyrics is matched by the powerfully self-assured strut of rhythm section Theo Ellis and Joel Amey, and guitarist Joff Oddie’s fuzzed-out riffs are thrillingly forceful. If its predecessor seemed a tentative (yet stunning) return after 2017’s Mercury-winning LP Visions of a Life, ‘Smile’ is the band throwing themselves back into the world-despite it looking a lot different than before. This one-two punch of single releases is summed up in the opening couplet of ‘Smile’: “I ain’t afraid though my steps appear tentative / I scope it out then I throw myself into it”. ![]() ![]() Click below for the Extreme Testing page to watch real time videos of burst tests, leak tests, tensile tests and freeze tests.
