Real dodo drawing7/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, it was killed en masse by sailors for food, and populations were additionally decimated by invasive species brought over by the European ships, including dogs, pigs, cats, and rats. It had very few predators, so was fearless when humans arrived on the island in the 1500s. The dodo ( Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird native to the island of Mauritius, measuring around 3 feet and 3 inches tall. Does it help us? Creating animals just for our own curiosity does not sound respectful it sounds like we're instrumentalising these animals. Nor does it help the actual dodos who were victims of human activities," Josh Milburn, a moral and political philosophy lecturer at Loughborough University, told Newsweek. "Bringing dodos back does not help the species (I'm not sure that idea makes any sense). Entrance is free.A stock illustration of a dodo (left) and a dodo skeleton at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff in 1938. Images of Nature opens at the Natural History Museum on 21 January. "The medium for recording science has changed over the years but not the sense of excitement that images can generate," says Magee. Art was important for scientists in those days – as it is today."Ĭontemporary images will include film from a camera as it has passed through the skull of a shark and photographs taken with electron microscopes. By displaying works by these painters, we want to demonstrate the close relationship there is between art and science. Apart from the dodos, we have works by some of the greatest natural history painters such as Henrik Gronvold and Robert Havell. ![]() "The permanent part of the exhibition will be taken up by oil paintings. "We have hundreds of thousands of drawings, watercolours and oil paintings in our collection and the new exhibition gives us a chance to show them off to the public for the first time," adds Magee. The dodo also appears on the coat of arms of Mauritius and now, as a star item, in the new gallery at the Natural History Museum. Whatever the cause of its eradication, the bird has become one of the world's best-known extinct animals and its image is used by many environmental organisations, such as the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, to symbolise the ecological dangers posed by humanity today. However, its flesh apparently had an unpleasant taste and it's thought the main cause of its extinction was the introduction to Mauritius of pigs and other domestic animals which rooted up dodo nests. The bird was said to be fearless of humans and was therefore easily caught and killed. It stood about a metre tall, weighed about 20kg and lived on fruit. The dodo – Raphus cucullatus – was a flightless bird found only on Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The painting shows it having longer legs, a straighter neck, a less bulky body and a smaller head." By examining the skeletons of dodos, we have produced this new image of the bird which depicts it in a different, and we believe more realistic way. "These would not necessarily have represented the dodo in its proper original form. "Savery claimed he had painted the dodo from real life but there is a lot of evidence today to suggest he only saw preserved specimens," says Magee. A second painting, made last year by museum palaeontologist Julian Hume, will be hung beside the 17th-century original and this time the dodo will be shown in a distinctly different way, as Judith Magee, the new gallery's curator, explains.

Clemens schick gay7/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Some celebrities stay in school and get some degree. ![]() We will discuss their successes in relation to their education level, how they learned various skills, and why it is important that people find the right balance between school knowledge and life experience. We are going to explore the educational backgrounds of celebrities and what type of skills they may have. Relationships provide this sense of security and care that affairs cannot offer if you want more than sex with your partner, try giving him or her something real instead! Educational Background Sometimes, all people need to feel special in the world like someone cares about them and wants them around. Affairs often don’t last for long because they have no emotional connection or sense of love from one another. The same goes for an affair, but it is less likely to be as successful as a relationship can be. ![]() It took a heterosexual character to wake me up.Relationships are difficult. But a justified seven for the beauty of the images and the real sense of place. That is my opinion which others may well reject, but there are actors out there like Felix Maritaud who kind of prove my point. Gay/Queer film works at its best when the actors are not weighed down with a heterosexual following. I am not going into Brazil's shock at seeing one of their favourite actors as a gay man, but the director should have known that and considering the actor was only moderately convincing with his broody, hangdog look should have chosen someone less known. It was not missed, and only the younger brother in a sexual scene with a woman seemed truthful and honest, and had a sense of urgency in it. Apparently an oral sex scene was cut for distribution. In some films the penis adds to the passion in a film, but coy images of the penis in this film did not. The obsession for shower scenes, and for brief views of male genitals as if they had to be there. And also I was disappointed by the use of gay cliched images often used in ' Gay ' films. Love by the way is never mentioned and this too added to the void. The void is of course the lack of connection between people, and in ' Futuro Beach ' it seemed to come from a lack of conviction between the two lovers. With the Italian director it was often painful to watch but here it seems to be decorative. ) Antonioni could not have done better, and a little like Antonioni there is a void in the film. The scenario helps him, but he gives a lot to make the film breathe, despite the fact that most of the action throughout is set brilliantly against seascapes and architecture ( the former East Berlin is exceptionally good. The young brother is played by Jesuita Barbosa and his presence on screen is electric, at last bringing the film to a strong and vivid sense of life. The film is in three parts, the first set on Futuro Beach and the following two parts in Berlin, where the lovers attempt to continue their relationship, but when Moura's young brother appears events lead to the climax of the film. I perceived hardly any connection at all between them, and the sexuality also failed to convince. But without too many spoilers the story is about a Brazilian lifeguard ( Moura ) who fails to save a life and has a relationship with the dead man's companion ( Schick ). Wagner Moura does not convince as being a man sexually attracted to his partner played by Clemens Schick. So where for me is the fault ? For all its beauty the casting was wrong. Each image holds a visual interest, and the use of Bowie and Eno's ' Heroes ' lifts the film to a higher level at the end despite the fact that what went before largely fails. ![]()

Agile software development life cycle7/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Obviously, following the client’s architecture regulations requires a profound understanding of said regulations, which is why information gathering is an integral phase of the software development life cycle. We approached Mitsubishi’s case with strong industry expertise and flexibility to account for all the client’s needs and specifications of the existing system. Each software development company has its own architecture standards and frameworks for building new systems but many face difficulties when working with the existing systems and modifying them to the new requirements. Adapting to the requirements of the client, and especially to the strict regulations of the IT architecture of large corporations like Mitsubishi requires knowledge, flexibility, and strong industry expertise. ![]() Mitsubishi employs a series of guidelines and rules on how to build, modify, and acquire new IT resources, which is why Intersog had to be truly agile to adapt to the client’s long-established IT architecture. That being said, Mitsubishi did not want to completely change the system, they opted for overhaul, and we came up with the idea of an integrated web application that was meant to function in conjunction with a DB2 base that was already used on the IBM AS400 server. The main requirement, thus, was to create a robust online supply chain solution that would encompass the entire logistics process starting with auto parts and steel suppliers and ending with subcontractors and car dealerships around the world. The legacy system has been partially automated and ran on the IBM AS400 server, which allows for impressive flexibility, but it no longer sufficed for Mitsubishi’s growing needs. Though the system has been sufficient for a long time, the time has come to eliminate all the redundancies and streamline data input. Considering a large number of stakeholders, the problem of synchronization has been a pressing one as well – different stakeholders would input the data at different speeds and at different times of day, which created a degree of confusion among suppliers. Previously, Mitsubishi used an outdated supply chain management system that involved a large number of spreadsheets that required a lot of manual input. Over the years of functioning, the old supply chain has been accumulating some noticeable frictions that resulted in the efficiency bottlenecks, and Intersog offered came ups with just the right set of solutions to make sufficient solutions that would help Mitsubishi ensure a coherent line of communication and cooperation with all the involved suppliers. That is why timely improvements are crucial for the proper functioning of this huge system and a corporation as a whole. Mitsubishi Motors involves many stakeholders and suppliers around the world, which makes its supply chain rather complex and data-heavy. With the large scope of the project, its complex features, and many stakeholders relying on the outcomes of the project, we had to employ an agile approach to ensure a secure software development life cycle. Several years back, we worked with Mitsubishi Motors helping one of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers to develop a new supply chain management system. Today, we are going to examine a software development life cycle case study from one of Intersog’s previous projects to show how agility plays a crucial role in the successful delivery of the final product. The benefit of agile SDLC is that project managers can omit, split, or mix certain steps depending on the project’s scope while maintaining the efficiency of the development process and the integrity of the development life cycle. Agile Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), is the process for doing exactly that – planning, developing, testing, and deploying information systems. Any software development project, either big or small, requires a great deal of planning and steps that divide the entire development process into several smaller tasks that can be assigned to specific people, completed, measured, and evaluated. ![]()

Donkey lable hell rider7/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Protecting such valuable craniums is a tough job, but the Helium is up to the job claiming an impressive list of features like the Rollsys Retention System, Featherlight weight (it IS called the Helium, right?), Carbon RBS (Rigidity Brace System) and optional bug netting and winter padding, the Helium can float your boat in any season or condition. Lazer's flagship road helmet can be seen on Team Lotto Soudal, Team Wiggle High-5 and the Belgian National team, so it certainly has had a fair shakeout in the big leagues. Instead of sucking in more oxygen, this time I figured it would be worthwhile to step down the periodic table (and up the price scale) to the Lazer Helium. The O2 was perhaps one of the most comfortable helmets I've ever worn (although some Giro models were a close second) so I figured another Lazer was in the cards. It just so happens that the helmet I was wearing was a Lazer Helium.Ĭheck out my review of Lazer's high end road helmet after the jump.Īfter purchasing a Lazer O2 helmet about 2 years ago (back when the O2 was the top of the line from Lazer) and riding the hell out of it, I figured that this season it was time for an upgrade. ![]() Lazer protected my head and prevented even greater injuries when I crashed and ended up with a 5 day stay in the hospital a few years back. When it comes to a helmet, I've been a big supporter of Lazer for several years now. Ok, maybe style isn't important, but looking like a mushroom is never a good thing. With the myriad of helmets out there (all meet very similar safety certifications) it falls to the rider to decide what helmet is for them based upon cost, availability, fit and (most importantly, of course) style. You see, eventually that important bike that you baby so much decides it no longer wants to be ridden by you and tosses you off down the tarmac. In cycling, only one thing is more important than the bike itself: the bucket you strap on your noggin. ![]()

Harmony spa vallejo7/13/2023 ![]() Unfortunately I ended up paying the total amount. I have several brown spots but didn’t think that it would cost me over half a grand! I could have gone to a specialist for that amount. When it was time to pay, she quoted me $ 540! I was really surprised because that was not the amount I was quoted earlier. She did say that it will take about 6 weeks to fade away. She instructed me to apply the lotion at night before bed time. She just showed me a picture of a bottle of Mederma lotion from her cell phone and said I can buy it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Betty did not really explain the procedure and she did not have aftercare instructions to hand out. My treatment took about an hour and after it was done, I was honestly horrified at the dark burn spots on my face. Luckily my friend’s daughter was in the same room and heard Betty quote me the same amount. I even repeated it saying three hundred twenty dollars? Betty said «yes». She spent about 3 minutes in the waiting room upstairs looking at my face and quoted me $ 320. She was running back and forth from one client to another. Betty was the person who does these treatments and she seemed very busy that day. It stated «Permanently Remove - say Goodbye to spots, bumps and pigments anywhere on your skin! Only one treatment needed! 100% results Money Back Guarantee! Starting at only $ 18» When I went in for my appointment, I was advised that the esthetician has a consultation with client first before proceeding with the treatment. I decided to try Harmony Beauty Spa’s offer that was advertised in the Monthly Grapevine. As I’m getting older, I’ve acquired several brown age spots on my face. I was satisfied with the results and the esthetician was gentle and took her time. I’ve come to Harmony Beauty Spa for a facial in the past and have had a good experience. Clearly, she didn’t want to take the appointment so why was it made in the first place? I give them one star because I never would recommend a business that supports this type of treatment to new clients. Is that how you treat new business? They lost out on a great client. Overall, I just think that her attitude, lack of understanding, and less than impressive customer service skills made me feel that this is not the type of establishment that will go the extra mile for their clients. I would have understood not having lashes as full as I liked. ![]() As a professional, I totally respect others time and would have been ok with her cutting my appointment short by 15 minutes due to a late arrival (eyelash extensions take at least an hour). Unfortunately, she thought it would be best for business to not take me even though I was there. ![]() I then explained that I got lost but that I was right outside and that no one made me aware that she stayed late and that they actually close early. ![]() As I was parking, I received a call from someone saying that they could no longer do my lashes because she stayed late to take my appointment and I’m 15 minutes late. Unfortunately, being new you the area, I got lost and arrived 14 minutes late to the appointment. New clients: DO NOT BE LATE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT! I’m new to the area and was looking for someone to do my eyelash extensions in Vallejo. ![]() |
