Otherwise - your perfect brush pen is elsewhere.Ĭonfession: This review was originally going to cover both the hard and soft brushes, but I lost the soft brush while out sketching! I was surprised to find that despite having totally different tip shapes, they produced a similar line. I recommend this brush pen if you want something very affordable, prefer a strong ink flow, intend to draw fairly loosely, and aren't planning to add water colors. In the end, I feel fond of the Pilot Pocket Brush for its lushness but it isn't really a good match to my needs. It holds up okay if you touch it with some watercolors on a just barely moist brush, but if too much water gets into the paper it bleeds in an ugly, feathery way (see around the bird). This drawing also demonstrates that the ink is not waterproof. The two tips and quick dry pigment ink make it easy to create beautiful brush-stroke lettering.

I recently spent a few minutes sketching at Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square and couldn't avoid getting my hand in the ink (smudges are visible on the main figure's backpack). This is double-sided brush pen, with a firm (fine) brush tip on one end and a softer (medium) brush tip on the other. With a wetter application comes more smudging.

There are many possible slang sources exist. Slang is continuously connected with the history and the culture of a country.

UPDATE: this seems fixed nowĨ) In a Hardcore free for all game, the first guy had about 28 kills and suddenly he disappeared from the leaderboard. UPDATE: seems that if you wait about 30 seconds and/or alt+tab the game, then you are able to press the ok button and continue, without having to close the gameĦ) Sometimes when leaving a game you get an error message saying "error downloading settings" and then there is a LONG loading screenħ) I tweaked all the game settings like I wanted and always clicked on Apply where it was necessary to confirm them, but when I reopened the game I noticed that few of them were back to default again (FPS limit custom amount, gamepad on Disabled and another one that I can't remember). :)ġ) After launching the game, sometimes you get an error message saying that the game can't connect to the server (with a weird error code ID) even if it's connected successfully: Ģ) If you press F1 (to open the friend list) in some situations -like during loading screens- a small popup with an error message appears insteadģ) Sometimes the bullets amount displayed is wrong, check this video: this guy reloads the swordfish (it can have 36 bullets per magazine) but it says 26 only (even if the bullets bars is full, so he got enough bullets to reload at max), then at 5:31 when he starts shooting the amount is updated immediately to 36Ĥ) When pressing TAB during a game to check your KDA on the bottom, the numbers are often wrong in this case it takes a couple of seconds (or you have to redo TAB again) to have them correctly updatedĥ) Sometimes when finishing a game you get an error message saying "game is no longer available" and you can't press ok (tried everything and nothing works, click, enter, space, etc) so you have to alt+f4 and reopen the game.

Tlrd Turn off Nvidia notifications if your game is crashing on launch shown here Īs a result I would obviously urge everyone to do the same as it saves the hassle. I then noticed that the crash was coinciding with the Nvidia notifications that pop up, I turned off all notifications and restarted and it worked fine. However the game kept crashing at the same opening part. Later on in the day I had the same problem, however this time I managed to move task manager to my second monitor and could reboot without restarting my PC. I eventually reset my PC and rebooted with no problems. Earlier in the day my game crashed unexpectedly, when I rebooted the game crashed on the opening scene and the image froze, meaning I couldnt access my screen to ctrl alt del etc. I've been on the grind all day today like i'm sure most you are too. ![]() But since pear diamonds are used in pendants and earrings too, their versatility makes them a designer’s dream. This helps give the impression of a more elegant longer finger, and makes the hand look even lovelier and more expressive. Most owners will wear their pear-shaped diamond ring with the point facing away from them. Wearing a pear diamond engagement ring lends an extra measure of class to every gesture of a lady’s hand. Who doesn’t want that? The facet arrangement on pear shaped stones makes for a real scene stealer. Because of this artistry, pear shaped diamond rings often looks larger than their actual carat size. Although many buyers are only concerned with the carat, when it comes to pear shapes, it’s essential to observe the color as well! Pear-shaped diamonds over one-carat in weight may seem to be darker at the tip, leading many buyers to move up one color grade than they normally would go with other shapes. Pear-cut diamonds also make for great side-stones themselves.ĭiamond Engagement Ring with Two Pear-Cut Side Stonesīe sure to choose a setting with a prong at the tip of the shape, as that protects this vulnerable part of the diamond from chips and other damage.Īnother important aspect to consider when selecting the perfect pear-shaped diamond is the color. When set in a ring, this cut can be worn as solitaire to draw the focus directly to the shape, or worn with side stones. Pear-shaped diamonds are commonly used as gems in necklaces and earrings. The pear-shaped diamond should be worn by confident women who wish to stand out and own a truly unique piece of jewelry. Over the years, this massive pear-shaped diamond has become one of the most well-known pieces in Taylor’s extensive jewelry collection, mainly because of its incredible size and beauty. Part of the purchase, however, was that Burton and Taylor agreed to allow Cartier to display the gem in their New York store for a period of time-during which up to 6,000 visitors a day would flock to catch a glimpse of this mesmerizing diamond.Įlizabeth Taylor eventually had the diamond reset into a necklace, and wore it to both Princess Grace of Monaco’s 40th birthday, as well as the 42nd Academy Awards. It was sold the next day for $1.1 million, and given to his love and diamond and was renamed the name it still carries today, the Taylor-Burton Diamond. ![]() He had his lawyers contact Kenmore to buy the diamond regardless of price. Kenmore, and thus Cartier, won the auction, and named the diamond the “Cartier Diamond.” However, Richard Burton was dead-set on getting the diamond for his love and diamond aficionado, Elizabeth Taylor. Bidding started at $200,000, and biggers included Richard Burton (Taylor’s then-husband), as well as Harry Winston, the Sultan of Brunei, Aristotle Onassis (of Jackie Onassis’ fame), and Robert Kenmore, who owned the parent company of the jewellers Cartier. It was sold in 1967, but put back up for public auction on October 23, 1969. The Taylor-Burton Diamond, a 69.42-carat pear-shaped diamond, was originally cut by Harry Winston and set in a platinum ring. ![]() Famous Pear Shaped DiamondsĮven though people were not immediately smitten with the pear-shaped diamond when it was introduced, times sure have changed! Many celebrities, from Victoria Beckham to Katherine Heigl have rocked the pear diamond engagement ring, but perhaps the most famous diamond in this shape was worn by none other than Elizabeth Taylor. Despite the public reacting positively to the shape of this new diamond, many were not happy with the amount of rough diamond lost during the cutting process. When van Berquem first introduced the pear-shaped diamond, it was not as much of a success as it is today. Without van Berquem, diamonds would not be cut in a certain way to maximize the shine and sparkle that radiates from each rock. Does this name sound familiar? If so, it could be because van Berquem was the same diamond cutter who is responsible for the concept of symmetry and placement of facets in popular diamond cuts. Although is is known and loved in today’s world, where did this incredible pear-shaped diamond come from? Introduction of the Pear-Shaped DiamondĪlthough this edgy style may seem modern and new, its origins trace back to 1458, created by Flemish polisher named Lodewyk van Berquem. ![]() This diamond takes a cue from both the round brilliant and the Marquise cuts, combining both of their brilliance and designs into one unique shape. The exquisite pear shaped diamond is often referred to as the teardrop cut thanks to its interesting shape with a rounded bottom and narrow, pointed top. ![]() ![]() Open up the command line, navigate to the folder with brigadier.You just can't download them from the apple website directly.

Anybody with the tip to get my beloved MM2 to work on my Win 10 64bit machine? So now I'm sitting here, at my desk, with a MM1 and MM2, simultaneously (and consecutively) connected and working all fine and dandy EXCEPT for the frikkin' scroll on the MM2 whereas my MM1 scrolls just fine. It does, however, report two mice and two battery levels which is nice. Disabling Bluetooth Battery Monitor, thinking it may interfere somehow.But there's always that little spark of hope. Since my MM1 has a name like " " I even tried renaming the MM2 to " " on the MacBook and then going back to my PC, connecting the MM2 (solely) and hoping it would pick up the MM1's settings.(didn't change anything ofcourse)) I tried to go back to giving MagicUtilities another, rather reluctantantly, shot however: it won't install anymore: " The required Magic Mouse Driver installation failed. Since I've exhausted all of my ideas (I also tried looking at the registry to find differences etc. One, the MM1, shows " On Apple Wireless Mouse", the other, MM2, shows " On Bluetooth HID-device". When I go to the hardware tab there's a difference between both mice's "location". When the MM2 is the only mouse connected the tab disappears. When only the MM1 is connected and I open the Mouse settings it has a "scroll-wheel" tab. Here's some more of my findings:īoth mice connected doesn't seem to cause any trouble but, for every step above, I also tried with only the MM1 or MM2 connected. Uninstalled the driver manually, which failed for some reason on several occasions, but, a couple of reboots and "persuading" later I had my mouse (or mice) finally back to where I got started.īut, still, the MM1 scrolls just fine, the MM2 doesn't want to. It turns out MagicUtilities also installs a driver but doesn't uninstall it didn't remove it in my situation. On boot the mouse worked fine I could click and move it without issue until MagicUtilities loaded (in the taskbar).

The name Lucifer comes from Latin and means “morning star” or can be literally translated as “light bringing.” In classic mythology, Lucifer was the name of the planet Venus, which was personified as a man holding a torch. Paradise Lost was (and is) so popular that its depiction of Satan still heavily influences modern depictions of the Devil and the lore many people associate with him. That connection was popularized by poet John Milton in his famous epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), which tells the story of the fallen angel Lucifer becoming Satan after a failed rebellion against God during a War in Heaven. The Bible does not say that this angel Lucifer is the same being as Satan. In translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version, this angel’s name is said to be Lucifer. As punishment for his wickedness, the angel was cast out of Heaven and into the dark pit of the Earth so that he would be even lower than humanity. According to the Bible, this angel became so vain and proud that he thought himself above God. In the Bible, the story of a fallen angel is mentioned in Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14. As with Iblis in Islamic scripture, the name Lucifer is often a source of debate among Biblical scholars. ![]() ![]() Another one is to practise acceptance, gratitude and compassion.

Well, I think it's up to everybody to find their own path. How has it been kind of moving on to a more spiritual way of thinking? So you were 17 and you were quite science focused before that point. So my direct students also have the same abilities that I have. And that's helped me connect with people and even pass on my abilities. And I later did a Reiki course, which is now what I've been doing for 33 years. How can this be? And then, when I woke up, several weeks later whenever I touched somebody I could feel the state of their health or their body. And I remember thinking this is not right, this is not possible.

But the really interesting thing was as the surgery was going on, I was able to see myself down on the operating table and see the seven people around me. I had 400 internal stitches, 13 tubes coming out of me, 52 staples down the front. But before university, I had a near death accident, where I came off my push bike and ended up in hospital and within 45 minutes of the accident my liver was pulped. And I think I found university very difficult but by the end, I had learned how to learn. And I think that was because I was thinking differently, with good communication skills in some areas, and not in others. Well, all the way through school, I realised I was intelligent, but I didn't do well on the exams. Going back, where did you grow up?

The main contribution of our paper is to show how the Depth-First Search (DFS) algorithm is a better alternative solution to the CWC problem. The original IOTA Reference Implementation (IRI) of Cumulative Weight Calculation (CWC) is based on Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm. We start with an overview of IOTA tip selection algorithms, including the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm and time-based tip selection algorithm. Our work highlights the benefits of DAG-based distributed ledgers. As this software is often running on low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it is important for it to be highly optimized. The interaction with the IOTA ledger requires client software to perform complex logic. IOTA is one of the most promising distributed ledgers due to its performance, scalability, and fee-less transaction capability. |
