10/13/2023 0 Comments Kosas mini concealerHere are my top drugstore dupes for Kosas products. Most of the products that I’ve found perform and look exactly the same as the Kosas equivalents so I’m super excited to share them with you! I was actually surprised that I was able to find dupes as I had this idea in my head that their products seemed quite unique (unlike Glossier, but you can read that in my other post!). So, like I always do, I wanted to see if I could find any drugstore dupes for some of their most popular products.Īnd luckily, I was able to find dupes for everything! Most of their products fall around the £20-£30 range, which is money that I’m sure most people don’t really want to spend on makeup. Kosas is such a popular brand at the moment, I’m constantly hearing people talk about their products – the only issue is, they’re pretty pricey! Here are the drugstore alternatives to their makeup products. Kosas is one of the most popular beauty brands at the moment, but their products can be slightly expensive. Guys, I’ve found some of the best drugstore dupes for Kosas products! Can’t beat that.This post may contain affiliate links, which means I receive a small commission if you make a purchase (at no cost to you!) A crease-proof, medium-coverage, super creamy concealer, eye cream, and spot treatment in one that visibly brightens and helps reveal better-looking skin. It’s a perfect starter set as a gift or if you haven’t dabbled much in Rare Beauty it’s ideal to try out some of their offerings. And this set includes two Mini Soft Pinch Liquid Blushes in Wisdom (mauve plum) Virtue (beige peach)! Plus you’ll also get two Mini Positive Light Liquid Luminizers in Magnetize(light gold) Transcend (rose gold)! That stuff is pigmented as hell and a mini will get you through the year and beyond. Haha…! Can you imagine what would happen if Taylor did a makeup line? People would lose their entire brain.Įveryone always get hyped over the mini sets because Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is a product you really don’t need a massive size of. I just wanna say one thing, if Taylor Swift comes out with a makeup brand you’re a goner Selena. Covers and reduces the appearance of dark circles, but still fully looks like your skin. The Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is a smash hit with many makeup lovers (I personally find it a bit too pigmented and a little bit hard to blend as I’m so heavy-handed with blush but that’s on me!). Why We Love It: Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer and Daytime Eye Cream is a concealer that is delivered in a skincare base packed with hyaluronic acid, peptides and caffeine that hydrate, visibly plump and give a smooth, radiant finish. It also has the second-highest monthly search volume, with an average of 621,500 monthly searches globally. It’s a pretty new brand just launching back in 2020 but has amased a huge following across Tiktok and Instagram. But props Selena! Good on you! Apparently the brand beat out Fenty Beauty and Kylie Cosmetics. But for some reason it wasn’t ever a brand I ran to buy. That’s just me obviously because it’s super popular and everyone adores it. GASP! HORROR! I know right? I don’t really get the entire appeal of the brand. And by the way, I’m going to confess that I don’t own a ton of Rare Beauty. A crease-proof, medium-coverage, super creamy concealer, eye cream, and spot treatment in one that visibly brightens and helps reveal better-looking skin. Hey, did you know that Rare Beauty is the most popular celebrity makeup brand on the market at the moment? Did you also know there’s a new Rare Beauty Mini Blush & Glow 4 Piece Set for Holiday 2023.

Once enough packets have been gathered, it tries to recover the password. Aircrack-ng uses the best algorithms to recover wireless passwords by capturing packets. These are the popular tools used for wireless password cracking and network troubleshooting.Īircrack-ng is one of the most popular wireless password cracking tools that you can use for 802.11a/b/g WEP and WPA cracking. The other kind of tool is used to hack WEP/WPA keys. One can be used to sniff the network and monitor what is happening in the network. These tools can either take advantage of WEP weaknesses or use brute force password guessing attacks on WPA/WPA2/WPA3. To get unauthorized access to a network, one needs to crack these security protocols. While most routers currently use WPA or WPA2, a third version called WPA3 was certified a few years ago and is designed to replace the existing protocols. This new protocol was Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Now, this can be cracked within minutes.Ī new Wi-Fi security protocol was introduced in 2003. However, it was weak, and several serious weaknesses were found in the protocol. WEP, or Wired Equivalent Privacy, is a deprecated security protocol that was introduced back in 1997 as a part of the original 802.11 standards. WEP and WPA are the two main security protocols used in Wi-Fi LAN. These vulnerabilities exist because of issues in WEP or WPA. Poor encryption is related to security keys used to protect the wireless network. It may include a weak password, a lack of security settings, use of default configurations and other user-related issues. Poor configuration is caused by the network admin who manages the network. One is poor configuration and the other is poor encryption. Two types of vulnerabilities can be found in the Wireless LAN. But in ad hoc networks, there is no access point each node connects in a peer-to-peer way. Infrastructure networks have one or more access points that coordinate the traffic between the nodes. Wireless networks are based on IEEE 802.11 standards defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE ) for ad hoc networks or infrastructure networks. 10/13/2023 0 Comments George winston autumn albumI flew out to the concert and the promoter (I believe his name was Rick Wolter) was waiting in the wings when I finally came off stage to tell me my dad had died in surgery. He told me there was nothing I could do for him and that he was proud of me. I told him that I’d cancel a concert I was supposed to perform at Notre Dame the next day. I remember showing him the album cover of a new album I was about to release, George Winston’s AUTUMN. I went to visit him in the hospital the day before he was to have a very complicated heart surgery. He had seen me tour in Germany which, being the origin of the English language, meant a lot to him. My father, who happened to be the head of the English Department at Stanford, had by then become reconciled to his son NOT becoming an academic. At some point very early on in my musical career he cut out this article of fresh scrubbed faces in a singing group who were performing in Swanton and sent it on to me. He kept getting the weekly newspaper from his home town. Regarding the clipping: My father grew up in Swanton, Ohio. The final transition happened only a couple of years ago when I went through a legal name change to the nice, simple name of Will Ackerman. When I recorded my first album, The Search for the Turtle’s Navel (remind me to tell you the story of Bill Sterling sometime), I used William Ackerman. Stars George Winston’s 'Autumn' has served as an emotional backdrop to the change of season. When I became a carpenter and printed my first business card, I was Will Ackerman. Autumn by George Winston, released 01 January 1980 1. I already had the William part in my hefty four-name name, so it was Will that finally stuck.įor a while I pretty much had to acknowledge all those early names and there was some advantage in knowing where and when these people knew me. Then I met a guy named Will Sampson who I though was very cool… a bit older, handsome…everything I wasn’t. This was mostly during the time I was in living in La Honda in Ken Kesey’s old hang out. I think Chris had a character in his writing named Benj and he thought I was like him. I think it was Chris Patton who decided I should be Benj and that stuck around for quite some time. The transition included Jeff being spelled as Geoff, but that went by the wayside pretty quickly. I have absolutely no explanation for where that came from, but I remember girlfriends calling me Jeff. Having left prep school in Massachusetts where I was George and landing at Stanford University, I saw an opportunity to shed the whole George business and I somehow arrived at Jeff. I was never really thrilled with the George part of things, though I was pretty well stuck with it. No one ever explained the Benedict part and it never occurred to me to ask. I was given the rather ponderous name of George (my father’s father’s name) William Benedict Ackerman. My adopted father’s name was Robert William Ackerman and he was known as Bill. I was adopted into the Ackerman family at the advanced age of 5 days. 10/13/2023 0 Comments Meriden ct doppler radarFrequency variation Doppler Effect: Change of wavelength and frequency caused by motion of the source. Thus, the relative difference in velocity between a source and an observer is what gives rise to the Doppler effect. Since with electromagnetic radiation like microwaves or with sound, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, the wavelength of the waves is also affected. If the pitcher moves at an angle, but at the same speed, the frequency variation at which the receiver catches balls is less, as the distance between the two changes more slowly.įrom the point of view of the pitcher, the frequency remains constant (whether he's throwing balls or transmitting microwaves). The catcher catches balls less frequently because of the pitcher's backward motion (the frequency decreases). The inverse is true if the pitcher is moving away from the catcher. However, if the pitcher is jogging towards the catcher, the catcher catches balls more frequently because the balls are less spaced out (the frequency increases). Assuming the balls travel at a constant velocity and the pitcher is stationary, the catcher catches one ball every second. Imagine a baseball pitcher throwing one ball every second to a catcher (a frequency of 1 ball per second). This variation of frequency also depends on the direction the wave source is moving with respect to the observer it is maximum when the source is moving directly toward or away from the observer and diminishes with increasing angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the waves, until when the source is moving at right angles to the observer, there is no shift. The received frequency is higher (compared to the emitted frequency) during the approach, it is identical at the instant of passing by, and it is lower during the recession. It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren approaches, passes and recedes from an observer. The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842, is the difference between the observed frequency and the emitted frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. This is only a component of the real speed (170 km/h). The term applies to radar systems in many domains like aviation, police radar detectors, navigation, meteorology, etc.Ĭoncept Doppler effect The emitted signal toward the car is reflected back with a variation of frequency that depend on the speed away/toward the radar (160 km/h). This variation gives direct and highly accurate measurements of the radial component of a target's velocity relative to the radar. It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal. Army soldier using a radar gun, an application of Doppler radar, to catch speeding violators.Ī Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance.

As the chosen guardian, he is devoted to returning the sage's blood, which resides within him, into her reborn body, Kotaro. He is considered to be the chosen Guardian. He has a little brother, Kotaro, who is the only other vampire who shares his bloodline. He is shown being burned to the bones from staying into the ocean too long and releasing smoke under the sunlight, even though he was carrying an umbrella. He is able to use some of the Kowloon powers as well as those of his own unique bloodline to be able to challenge even the Kowloon King and the three powers of the Special Zone.He is weak against sunlight and water. During the war, after defeating most of the Kowloon children, he became known as the Silver Blade and the Kin-killer. He wields a long katana which has a blade made of silver. Besides being an Old Blood, he also comes from a very special bloodline: the blood of the Sage. He used to be a lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Navy until he was severely injured in a fight protecting Alice. Jiro was transformed into a vampire in 19th Century London. Michael Tatum (English)An Old Blood vampire that sided with the humans to fight against the Kowloon children during the Kowloon Shock. Main characters Jiro Mochizuki ( 望月 ジロー, Mochizuki Jirō) Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai ( Japanese) J. Jiro Mochizuki, who became known as the Silver Blade, is a hero of the Crusade who defeated the Kowloon King, although he lost his lover and was betrayed by a close friend in the process. After the war, it was announced that all vampires had been killed, and most humans were kept ignorant of the existence of the Special Zone. After the crusade, the Special Zone - a city for vampires to live - was established on the sea outside Japan. The conflict culminated in the Holy War, a battle in which humans and vampires worked together to exterminate the Kowloon Children. The ensuing chaos made the existence of vampires, which until then had been living in secret, known to the entire world. The Kowloon Children, as his bloodline came to be known, differed from other bloodlines in that all humans (Or vampires) bitten by a Kowloon Child would become Kowloon Children themselves, even without a direct infusion of that bloodline's blood. Within the story, during the 1850s, a vampire who would later be known as the Kowloon King emerged in Hong Kong and began spreading his lineage to others. Along the way, he meets a girl named Mimiko. The abduction of Kotaro, by one of the Kowloon Children, thrusts him even further into the battle. As they travel to The Special Zone, Jiro encounters enemies from the past and new threats that may endanger the safety of the Special Zone. They soon realize that a plan to infiltrate the Special Zone is being hatched by the Kowloon Children survivors. Ten years later, Jiro heads to Hong Kong with his little brother, Kotaro Mochizuki, in hopes of reaching The Special Zone, a thriving secret city where Vampires live. the Silver Blade ( Gintō), fought and defeated the Kowloon king and most of the Kowloon Children. Kotaro's only friends were Sei's older sister the Dark Princess of the North and Grand Duke Bow-wow (a friendly grizzly bear).During a war called the Hong Kong Crusade, an Old Blood, Jiro Mochizuki, a.k.a.As commented by Mimiko, he does not appear to be the brother of Jiro since he is not hurt by sunlight nor water, unlike Jiro.Relationships Jiro Mochizuki Mimiko Katsuragi Gallery Main article: Kotaro Mochizuki/Gallery Trivia Unlike other reincarnations he does not remember his past. For an unknown amount of time he and his brother were residents at Dark Princess of the North's residence however Jiro decided to move as to allow Kotaro to experience the world before his powers had awoken. Kotaro is the reincarnation of Alice Eve after she died during the Kowloon shock. He's a bit naive seeing the good in everyone despite this he is able to hold his own when it is required of him. Kotaro is a bubbly child with a tendency for mischief. In later depictions he's also shown carrying Grand Duke Bow-wow (item) which he uses to carry Jiro's sword. He also wears dark brown leather goggles around his neck which have a silver metal frame holding the blue lenses in place. He wears beige loose pants with a brown belt and shoes. He has a brown sleeveless jacket with yellow trim and two yellow buttons on each side. He wears a white long sleeved collard shirt with a white ascot. Kotaro is a small blonde short haired boy in Victorian inspired clothes. Instead of suggesting another framework for theorizing cosmopolitanism, I demonstrate how these strategies employed by bilingual writers can precede shifts in the individual and public imagination. My study focuses on narrative, thematic and linguistic strategies that the writers of my investigation employ to create a new linguistic persona in a world that is rethinking the very notion of linguistic and national identity. I treat cosmopolitanism as a deliberately chosen state and a laborious search for a new sense of home and identity in the multiplicity of texts. I argue that the unease with the status of bilingual writing derives largely from the Romantic model of mapping language to a nation. Existing literary and social practices inform and develop the notion theoretically and practically and illuminate new dimensions of cosmopolitanism as a constant and deep engagement with the other. I posit that sustained practice of bilingual writing charts a special space on the maps of national and world literature and presents an important dimension of emergent cosmopolitanism. It investigates why and to what effect language is appropriated by individual authors in different historical situations, and how a body of work produced by the same author in two languages articulates the relationship between the nation and the world. This dissertation addresses the phenomenon of literary bilingualism in the late 20th – early 21st centuries. The book will be of interest to scholars in Russian literature, comparative literature, applied linguistics, translation studies, and the rapidly developing field of self-translation studies. The unprecedented recent dispersion of Russian speakers over three continents has led to the emergence of a new generation of diasporic Russians who provide a more receptive milieu for multilingual creativity. Wanner argues that the perceived marginality of self-translation stems from a romantic privileging of the mother tongue and the original text. Investigating the parallel versions of self-translated poetic texts by Vladimir Nabokov, Joseph Brodsky, Andrey Gritsman, Katia Kapovich, Marina Tsvetaeva, Wassily Kandinsky, and Elizaveta Kul’man, Adrian Wanner considers how verbal creativity functions in different languages, the conundrum of translation, and the vagaries of bilingual identities. The Bilingual Muse analyzes the work of seven Russian poets who translated their own poems into English, French, German, or Italian.

The hardest part is making an intake manifold and exhaust. The swap is really nothing more than cutting out the old engine and transmission mounts, setting the new engine in the frame and welding in new mounts. The instructions here aren't specific at all because you really need to eyeball everything and work it to your particluar installation, but it can be installed without modifying the main frame tubes. Might be a good excuse for you to finally get that MIG welder you have been wanting. Tell them it is for a Rokon engine swap and they will throw in a free ignition coil.Īs for the swap, it really isn't all that difficult but requires basic welding and fabrication skills. These come with a 4 speed transmission and even an electric starter. These engines run about $550 (depending on exchange rate) and you can get more details on these engines here.

10/12/2023 0 Comments Bmr calculator with activityTo calculate your basic burn, the Mifflin St. Jeor equation, which dates back to 1990, is today considered the standard formula. Jeor equation is the better than the previous formulas at computing BMR. Jeor equation to determine your Basal Metabolic Rate. This number is known as your maintenance level. There are online BMR calculators that do the work for you, taking out any guesswork, so you can determine how many calories you must burn on an average day to achieve the best health possible. While it sounds complicated to figure out the rate of your metabolism, it need not be. BMR accounts for approximately 60 percent of the calories you burn every day. So, to stay at the same weight year after year, you would need to reduce your daily calories by that same amount. Every decade after age 30, your BMR declines by about two percent because humans stop growing bone. When you lose weight, your BMR lowers, even if you are not losing weight on purpose. By understanding metabolic rate, you can welcome new weight loss opportunities. Of course, you already know that your metabolism affects your ability to lose weight the faster your metabolism, the better your ability to burn fat. Why Does BMR Matter?īy knowing your Basal Metabolic Rate, you can figure out exactly how many calories you must burn for weight loss to occur. It excludes the calories you need for your workouts or other activities. These calories reflect the amount of energy that your body requires to support its most basic, vital functions, such as breathing, blood circulation, and brain functioning. The BMR is the number of calories you would burn if you stay at rest all day, such as lying in bed. Then, calculate your BMR with our handy calculator above.Įven when you sleep, you use energy. Learn why BMR matters if you have pounds to shed or simply want to be healthy. You have likely heard of the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) but may not know exactly how it relates to your workouts or the best way to calculate it.
