This brush is unique from the perspective that it works for both cream as well as powder products. So, how is this different from a fan brush or a F35 or a F37?

The brush comes to a tapered end and it is a thicker brush, but applied highlighter exactly the same Sigma’s F35 would, but it just takes more blending to perfect.

We can't recommend enough to meditate with this stone outside, especially during times of dusk and dawn (the two most high energy times on Earth each day). Kambaba Jasper has a special relationship with Mother Nature and attuning you to her frequencies. This special combination of minerals helps one feel comfortable with themselves and their surroundings. Simple things such as socializing, working with colleagues, and even forming long lasting relationships (sexual & non-sexual) will feel natural and easier than ever before. Kambaba Jasper’s powers are strong enough to finally put you back in the driver's seat of your life. Show the universe that you will not tolerate being “stuck” in emotional disarray anymore. This stone pushes us to release the weight pushing down on our chest, right back into the atmosphere. Kambaba Jasper acts as a teacher and life coach, helping you get through some of the toughest emotional experiences you’ve had to deal with. This crystal helps one achieve emotional balance throughout the day, and helps keep one “cool” during times of distress. It helps provide much needed healing to the heart and calming of negative emotions such as guilt, trauma, grief, jealousy, anger, and sadness. Kambaba Jasper is a very energizing stone that activates our root and heart chakras. When trying to purchase either of these stones, it's important to know who your buying from and the authenticity of the stones you're interested in purchasing. This drives the price of the stone up considerably, which also leads to the mis-labeling of Kambala Jasper as Nebula Stone. The locality of Nebula Stone is proprietary and is still kept secret within the family who discovered it. Lastly, Nebula Stone is much more valuable and precious than it’s Jasper “twin”. Nebula Stone on the other hand is made up of Aegirine, Potassium Feldspar, Zircon, Arfvedsonite, Riebeckite, and Orthoclase. As stated above, Kambaba Jasper is mainly Quartz and Feldspar with other tiny mineral inclusions. When it comes to chemistry, both these stones are made up of completely different minerals. Instead of primarily green with black “eyes” and swirling patterns throughout, Nebula stone is mainly black with tiny green “eyes” spotted throughout. Both of these minerals couldn’t be more different than one another! For starters, Nebula Stone has the same color combination, just reversed. There is a common misconception between Kambaba Jasper and Nebula Stone, with many dealers on the market even selling Kambaba Jasper AS Nebula Stone. Cheitharol Kambaba is the court chronicle of the kings of Manipur, India and has been around for thousands of years. The origin of the stone’s name is also heavily debated, with the leading theory suggesting Kambaba Jasper was named after Cheitharol Kambaba. The exact discovery date and locality of this stone is unknown, however it can be found in South Africa, Madagascar, and the small sea in which divides the two. Other minerals within this special combination of stones are usually Quartz, Feldspar, Cristobalite, and Albite. One of the special fossils within Kambaba Jasper is actually Cyanobacteria, which is believed to have helped create the first oxygen atmosphere here on earth many moons ago. This stone is classified as a stromatolite, which refers to the clump of fossilized algae that created this mineral. Kambaba Jasper is actually not a Jasper, but rather a fossil. The green and black swirling color pattern can have many experienced crystal collectors confusing this stone with Malachite or Nebula Stone. Kambaba Jasper, also known as Kambaba Stone or Green Stromatolite Jasper, is an extremely old stone dating back to 3 billion years ago. Kambaba Jasper Products $18 $20 $6 $40 View All Products Science & Origin of Kambaba Jasper On the one hand, Betty Boop was a creation of the heterosexual male gaze, with an endless parade of lecherous male characters trying to see under her skirt, yet on the other hand she wore power like a light shawl, her image an in-your-face depiction of unashamed sexuality. Over time, she became more and more of an overt sex symbol in black-and-white and color alike, her cleavage and curves clear for all to see. Unlike Olive Oyl in “Popeye” or Minnie Mouse, she wasn’t defined by her relation to a more famous male character she was the main figure all on her own. At once ingenuous, gentle, and kind, she was a female figure who stood out in the world of American animation and comics whereas early characters like Minnie Mouse were often largely just copies of male figures in women’s clothing, Betty Boop was unique. A year later, she had transitioned into a human character, her flappy ears morphing into her now-famous hoop earrings. She first appeared in 1930 as an anthropomorphic cartoon canine in the short Dizzy Dishes, where she sang, danced, and wagged her ears. Yet behind her there’s a ghost, a figure who follows her everywhere, but who’s hardly ever seen: The all-too-often-forgotten African-American cabaret singer named “Baby” Esther who, arguably, truly gave birth to the cartoon character, yet rarely receives credit for it, and whose story, in many ways, tells a larger tale about America itself.īetty Boop began as both a parody and a powerful symbol of unabashed sexuality, a combination she would retain, to varying degrees, throughout her lifespan in the media. Betty Boop, it seems, continues to dance across the stages of media, makeup, and memories alike. Last month, Posen also unveiled two new dresses inspired Betty Boop, one a flounce-hemmed mini ($250) and the other a floor-length mermaid gown ($550), both in Betty Boop Red MAC Cosmetics released a sultry red lipstick on Valentine’s Day also named Betty Boop Red the March issue of Woman’s Day features “Heroine of Hearts,” a comic by King Features starring Boop that promotes women’s health and the famous flapper even stars in a new American play, Collective Rage: A Play in Five Boops, featuring five different versions of the Jazz Age character, the very title of which evokes her signature catchphrase, “Boop-oop-a-doop.” The play, which made its West Coast premiere in Pasadena’s Boston Court Theater in February and is running through March 19, focuses on gender and sexuality, but also evokes race, as one of the Betty Boops is black. The new cartoon is part of what Jennifer Wolfe of Animation World Network called “a larger Betty Boop campaign,” signaling that the character is experiencing a cultural resurgence. “When Max Fleischer dipped his pen into the inkwell,” Caruso continued, evoking the Viennese-American animator who created the legendary cartoon character, “out came a masterpiece that would influence generations of artists, animators, musicians, and fashion designers.” “As a cartoonist, I consider Betty Boop the eighth wonder of the world,” Frank Caruso, the vice-president of comics and cartoons syndicate King Features, said in February when asked about the surreal new animated short, Betty Goes A-Posen, a three-part collaboration with the fashion designer. She’s sexy, independent - and well aware of both, something that has made her iconic since her debut as a character 87 years ago. She rescues the designer Zac Posen - who is ensnared in monstrous vines - with nothing but a glare, and turns men arguing on the sidewalk into grinning fools with a wink and a smile. In her first cartoon in nearly three decades, which appeared online in February, Betty Boop steps out of a car into a windy street, her short black dress flaring.

There is no way of knowing exactly how much people donate collectively in a year as it is usually done quietly by families. How much of this actually reaches the targetted beneficiaries? My guess is as good as yours. The total pro-poor spending by the government, even if one includes spending on social facilities such as education and health besides the Benazir Income Support Programme of Rs84 billion, does not go much beyond Rs200 billion. The total quantum of giving in Pakistan is projected to be a whopping Rs200 billion in the current year. The culture of giving seems to be compensating, though partially, for the neglect of the needy by the state. It also explains why the some of the biggest and most prestigious philanthropic organisations of the world such as Edhi Foundation, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Citizens’ Foundation, Shaukat Khanum Hospital among others are located here. Little wonder that the face of poverty in urban Pakistan, despite sluggish Gross Development Product (GDP) growth, is not as horrific as it is in galloping India and other countries of the region. The desperate poor collect information of approachable dispersal points to get help in cash and kind and philanthropic institutions invest liberally to mobilise funds using moving messages, images and appeals through print and television as well as leaflets, billboards and banners. Khairat, fitra and other forms of donations are also made in this month. The philanthropic organisations, therefore, strategise to collect funds when people are believed to be more generous. Usually people prefer to distribute Zakat, the mandatory minimum, as soon as the month starts. Anecdotal evidence hints that at least 60pc of all Pakistani households support charitable causes or give directly to those in need. Islam ordains Muslims to spend at least 2.5pc of their accumulated wealth on the needy. The fact supports the perception that the culture of giving in Pakistan is rooted in the dominant belief system in the country. While charity is given all year round, the donations dispersed in Ramazan are estimated to be more than what the nation doles out during the rest of the 11 months put together. Pakistanis privately spend about as much as the government to pull less fortunate fellow citizens out of the depths of poverty and derivation. Each character has a unique set of abilities, including physical attacks, elemental magic, skills and using items. Like the first game, battles take place on a 2D battlefield with a party of up to four characters. Octopath Traveler 2’s battle system is similar to the original game, but with some notable improvements and additions. There are many sidequests as well, but they’re usually generic fetch quests or “defeat x quantity of monsters” quests and like the original game it doesn’t have a good tracker or map marker on how to complete the quests. Some characters do have intertwined episodes, but these only involve two characters and are much shorter compared to the main character stories.Īfter completing all of their character stories you will unlock a final episode with everyone where you fight the true final boss and get the conclusive ending to the game. They’ll reference the plot, but it’s never like they’re a real party such as in Xenoblade Chronicles, to give an example. Rather, you only see your party chat during unvoiced skits. The character episodes will all pretend as if you never recruited anybody else. My only criticism is that, like the original game, there is barely any character party interaction compared to contemporary JRPGs. The writing is excellent for each character story, with most of the characters being engaging and having surprising plot twists. The first character episode is done individually with that character, but subsequent episodes will allow you to take your entire party with you (so you should do everyone’s episode one to recruit them and then do their second episodes if you want an easier time). The best approach is to get a variety of characters rather than just sticking with one character’s story. The eight character stories are divided into episodes which have their own dungeons, enemies and bosses which can vary significantly in level. The enemies and protagonists are all well-designed 2D sprites with 3D backgrounds. You choose which character you want to play as, and then you use that character to meet the other characters. Each character has their own unique story to tell, with themes ranging from political intrigue to personal revenge. The story of Octopath Traveler 2 is original and very different from the original game, with a new cast of eight characters to follow. One of the most significant changes is the addition of “Unison” attacks, where multiple party members can team up to deal massive damage to enemies. The turn-based combat system is as engaging as ever, with a host of new mechanics. The gameplay in Octopath Traveler 2 is familiar to fans of the original game, but with improvements. The backgrounds are simply gorgeous in this game. The game combines 2D artwork with modern effects, giving it a unique look that is both retro and modern. Backgrounds with characters look like a picture book. Even if the graphics are not cutting edge, the art direction is gorgeous, with beautiful landscapes, detailed character designs, and special effects. The graphics in Octopath Traveler 2 are pixel-style, meant to look like old 2D JRPGs. You don’t need to have played the original Octopath Traveler because both the settings and the characters are all new. The game follows the success of the original Octopath Traveler, and builds upon it with improved gameplay mechanics, a brand new story, and a new cast of characters. Octopath Traveler 2 is a Japanese role-playing game developed by Acquire and Square Enix.

The author's goal in this book is to teach people how to handle and even master decisive conversations, and thereby change people's lives. In addition, by approaching a conversation in a particular way, you shape a behavior for use in all subsequent conversations. An element of everyday human activity that can be changed forever in the future, for better or for worse. These repetitive daily activities affect everyone's lives in a variety of situations, and the outcome of these pivotal conversations is incredibly important. That's not a concept the book's authors meant They care about the interactions that happen to everyone.ĭecisive talks are defined as discussions between two people where there is significance, opinions are divergent, and emotions are strongly expressed. Please use the link (using the link helps support the blog and podcast).The phrase “decisive talk” conjures up images of great figures and statesmen engaging in meetings and discussions whose outcome will have an impact on the world. If you do not have a copy or have tossed it at someone during a crucial conversation, it is time to buy a copy. Therefore, my intent is to do something radical: declare that I will read all three of the top three books in order. The top three books (Tame Your Work Flow, Great Big Agile, and Fixing Your Scrum) in the pool got more votes than all of the other books we have re-read over the past year. the next book we will re-read is Steve Tendon and Daniel Doiron’s Tame Your Work Flow. Next week we will have a few words to wrap-up this book and warp into the next book in the series. One of the authors wrote, “there are a lot of people who are teaching me new lessons about crucial conversations.” This section made me feel better that I wasn’t just able to pick up the book and use the ideas perfectly the first time I read it. Each author provides several scenarios where they have learned something that has helped them to get better at crucial conversations. The afterword is a reflection by the individual authors about what they’ve learned in the ten years since they published the book. The title of the conclusion of the chapter, “It’s not about communication, it’s about results,” sums up the bottom line of the book. Practice using the ideas in the book has been the most valuable learning tool I have found to establish muscle memory. What I think will work for all readers is trying the techniques out in a variety of situations and then spending time doing a retrospective. They are definitely worth a quick read and a deeper read if they resonate with you. I see the use of the case studies to help readers conceptualize using these techniques however the case studies in the book don’t always speak to me. The second tool the authors use is an extended case study. I made myself a cheat sheet that I keep just out of camera sight for use in remote meetings. The table begins on page 214 with principle one “Start With Your Heart” and ending on page 216 with principle seven “Moved To Action.” If this were a workbook, I would have expected this table to be on a removable page for use during crucial conversations. The first is a table to help the readers remember all of the techniques and the process laid out in the first 10 chapters. The authors use two tools in this chapter. We are completing the content of our Re-read of Crucial Conversations today by reviewing Chapter 11 and the Afterword.Ĭhapter 11 is a summarization of the entire book.

Instead of a tool with a graphical interface that allows the developers to collect the files and other related tasks making up the installation process manually, it is much more like a programming language. The toolset we are about to introduce, WiX, uses a different approach. However, as the experience of many developers shows, while these tools are perfectly capable of creating simpler installation packages, they often prove too limiting, inflexible when it comes to more complex requirements. The developers of the widely used setup tools also embraced the new technology and started to offer new versions of their tools to create setup programs of this nature. It is of paramount importance for setup developers to make sure that whatever happens during the process, the target machine should be left in a known, stable state, without introducing any detrimental side effects. While the imperative description seems to be quite sufficient until some error occurs, the declarative one makes it possible to cope with unexpected conditions, differing target machine environments, aborted installations, shared resources. The fundamental change was to move from the imperative description to a declarative one: rather than to describe the individual steps of installation, the declarative form specifies the state the target machine should be left in after various phases of installation and uninstallation. The technology behind Windows Installer, while it maintains a comparable look and feel for the end user, underwent important philosophical changes. Traditional setup tools used a programmatic, script-based approach to describe the various steps involved in the deployment of the application to be installed on the target machine: files to be copied, registry settings to be created, device drivers and services to be started. During the recent years, users have learned to expect a full-fledged, complete setup solution bundled with your product-and as the setup is the very first part of the application the end user becomes acquainted with, the importance of its integrity and reliability cannot be overestimated. Introductionįinishing the development of an application is still far from ending it. A list of resources is available on the WiX web site. There is a friendly community of WiX developers and users all over the Internet. Similarly, there might be a few additional utilities required for some special applications (merge modules, patches) but only on your build computer, the client will only need the finished and self-contained installer package, nothing else. The installation packages you create with the toolset do not require any extra framework or software to be installed on the target computer. However, this only applies to the toolset itself. The toolset is written in C# and requires the. This tutorial covers the stable version 3.x. You can download the latest binary and source code releases. WiX is an open source project, originally developed by Microsoft and maintained by Rob Mensching. The toolset provides both a command line environment that developers may either integrate into their oldstyle Makefile build processes or use the newer MSBuild technology from inside integrated development environments like Microsoft Visual Studio or SharpDevelop to build their MSI and MSM setup packages. The WiX Toolset is a set of tools that build Windows installation packages from XML source code.
