God opens your eyes and you can see other dots and soon a picture appears, a beautiful picture of your life with a purpose and future. When you recognize that dot inside you, you recognize the creator of the "dot" and are drawn to him. You know somehow that there has to be a point to your existence. He has given you the knowledge of him, a sense of right and wrong, or a point of reference. You are a lot like this blank piece of paper when you don't have God in your heart. You might wonder why it is there, why there aren't more, why it is so small or so big, or who made the dot? You wonder what's the point.

![]() For example, after doing my tests, I’m pretty confident telling you that if you’re just doing very light web browsing with the screen brightness at a medium-to-dim 150 nits, Edge is the most power-efficient choice, but the other’s ain’t so bad either. A browser though is a window to the unlimited and ever-changing Internet and no one uses it the same way.ĭo you sit with 10 tabs of Flash- and video-heavy webpages open all day? Or do you sit in Google Docs for eight hours? Do you park your browser on YouTube or some shady streaming website for long stretches? All three of those use cases will likely have very different effects on battery life and going by anyone’s generic “browser battery-life” figures doesn’t make much sense.Īre browser benchmarks still valuable? Yes, but only to the extent that you understand the scenario being tested. If you play a game or use Outlook all day, you can make a pretty good guess about how each will impact battery life. ![]() But the truth is actually more complicated because our browsing habits are so different, and can change from day to day. My own tests shows Edge has a clear power advantage in light browsing chores it’s just not as dramatic as Microsoft’s own tests. Microsoft Edge is more power efficient according to millions of Windows 10 machines, the company says. (I did try a beta of Opera 39 with its power-saving mode switched on much later but ran into an issue where pages would not load correctly.)īut that’s just my anecdotal experience and without the ability to measure it reliably, I’ll just leave it at that. And to be perfectly honest, I still use Chrome, except when I’m really trying to maximize battery life. The browsers I tested include: Chrome 50, Firefox 46, Edge 13.1, Opera 37, and Internet Explorer 11. For example, this was started prior to Opera pushing out its power-saving-mode version. Remember, I began my testing about two months ago so the browser versions are what was current at that time. I used a LInksys 802.11n router for the tests, which was about two feet from the test laptop. ![]() To test the accuracy of the benchmark, I ran repeated tests in Chrome (each of which took several hours) and the results were within four minutes of each other. Once I updated the laptop, it stayed off the Internet to keep the OS at a consistent state. The laptop was running Windows 10 Home with the latest updates installed prior to starting the tests. ![]() I ran all of my tests at 155 nits, which is a reasonable brightness for an office environment where you are trying to save power. That’s to be expected though, as both 4K resolution and touch can be draining. With its 41-watt battery, battery life is a little underwhelming. This laptop has a Core i7 Skylake CPU, 8GB of RAM, an M.2 SSD, and an Ultra HD 4K panel with 10-point touch. I used the same Toshiba Radius 12 that I used for my media-player shootout. I used a Toshiba Radius 12 for the bulk of my testing. ![]() I figured people don’t browse that way so what’s the value of it. I configured BrowsingBench with a rather long “dwell” time on each page, rather than just jamming through a bunch of pages. The pages are stored and served by the benchmark, which means every single page and every single Flash ad is the same. You select between page types, how long you want the test to dwell on a page, and even set the bandwidth you want simulated. With EMBC’s BrowsingBench, you can test browsers in a controlled environment. You boot into Ubuntu on a laptop that’s connected via ethernet to a wireless router, and then connect your test laptop to that router’s Wi-Fi. The benchmark runs on Linux from a USB key. That’s not even mentioning that the route the packets take to reach your screen could differ considerably moment to moment. These and other uncontrollable variables are enough to scare me off of running comparative tests using the live internet.ĮMBC is a small benchmarking outfit that claims its BrowsingBench test removes the variability in testing browsers. ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.īook Description Hardcover. Numerous contributions from his subjects lift the lid on what it is like to be scrutinized by the artist’s exacting, forensic eye and to have oneself captured on canvas. Dozens of studio shots and photographs of works in progress reveal Yeo’s working practice and chart the process of creating individual portraits. Alongside his intimate portraits of well-known sitters are dramatic and unsettling studies of cosmetic surgery patients that document the compulsive and painful pursuit of physical perfection. Featuring his most popular paintings, drawings, collages and prints, the book also presents several new canvases made especially for the show. Coinciding with a retrospective exhibition at London’s National Portrait Gallery, The Many Faces of Jonathan Yeo is the first major publication on the artist. ![]() Renowned for his distinctive, highly figurative canvases and controversial collages, he employs a range of media and techniques to create a diverse body of work that expands the traditions of portraiture while examining contemporary perceptions of beauty, celebrity and power. Over more than a decade, he has gained an international reputation for painting some of the most famous faces of our age: Nicole Kidman, Dennis Hopper, Kevin Spacey, Stephen Fry, Damien Hirst, Sienna Miller, Rupert Murdoch, Grayson Perry, Tony Blair and Prince Philip are just a selection of the many household names who have sat for Yeo. Yeo’s ongoing innovations in theme and narrative and his engagement with society continue to challenge the genre of portraiture and reinvigorate it for the modern era.Jonathan Yeo (born 1970) is one of Britain’s best-known portrait painters. Underwood, from the Netflix series House of Cards, was unveiled at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, with Spacey unveiling the painting in character as the fictional President. Earlier in 2016, Yeo's portrait of the actor Kevin Spacey in the role of President Francis J. In recent years he has been the subject of several major museum retrospectives including one at the National Portrait Gallery, London, in 2013 and more recently at the Museum of National History in Denmark in March 2016, where he unveiled a series of work of Cara Delevingne, which looked at how social media has changed how we read and construct images of ourselves and others. Plastic surgery has also been the subject of Yeo’s brush and his series of paintings showing patients before and after cosmetic procedures continue his exploration and fascination with contemporary notions of beauty and identity. ![]() Bush in 2007, made from cuttings of pornographic magazines, bought him international notoriety and led to a series of works that used the explicit material to make carefully constructed satirical collages of figures ranging from the moral crusader Mary Whitehouse, to the brilliantly corrupt Silvio Berlusconi. ![]() His sitters include the Noble Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai, former Prime Ministers Tony Blair and David Cameron, artists Grayson Perry and Damien Hirst, as well as other leading figures from the worlds of music, fashion, comedy and film, such as Dennis Hopper, Idris Elba, Jude Law, Kevin Spacey, Helena Bonham Carter and Cara Delevingne. Entirely self-taught, his career, which spans over 20 years, has seen him create sometimes provocative images of many of the most politically and culturally influential people of our time. ![]() British artist Jonathan Yeo, born in London in 1970, where he still lives and works, is widely considered one of the world’s leading figurative artists. ![]() ![]() During the 1790s, the very small settlements known as Creve Coeur and Point Labadie were built north and west of St. Louis on a tributary of the Missouri River.

![]() More than that, it would be the catalyst for a series of events that, without any exaggeration, changed the course of the singer’s life. The evening was a touching episode in the history of a special musical partnership. The crowd erupted into applause as ‘Forbidden Colours’ came to an end, Ryuichi and David embracing during the ovation.īefore the night was over Sylvian would return to the stage with white acoustic guitar, familiar from the …Shamans tour, this time for a rendition of ‘Orpheus’ to be accompanied by the full band including a rhythm section of Pino Palladino on bass and Manu Katché on drums. To experience that song live and in full was quite wonderful, especially after the teasing excerpt incorporated into the 1988 In Praise of Shamans show that I had witnessed at the same venue, when after the first line the musicians plunged immediately into the doubt of Backwaters. Little did I know that Time Out magazine had hinted that Sylvian would appear in their feature leading up to the concert. ![]() Travelling up to London that day I had dared to hope for such a guest appearance but I could scarcely believe it was happening in front of me. ![]() What follows is one of my all-time favourite gig moments: David Sylvian’s vocals accompanied by Ryuichi Sakamoto’s piano, together performing the timeless ‘Forbidden Colours’. The stage falls to darkness between songs and then, as the familiar notes of the introduction to ‘Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence’ are played on the grand piano, a long-haired figure wanders on to stage. His set-list included tracks from his previous solo offerings B-2 Unit, Neo-Geo and Beauty, YMO’s ‘Tong Poo’, as well as exquisite themes from the soundtracks for The Sheltering Sky, The Last Emperor (for which Sakamoto had been awarded an Oscar) and his latest film-music, High Heels. The show began with a recording of a stirring traditional chant which reverberated around the auditorium, a piece we would later come to know as ‘Nuages’ when Ryuichi’s album Heartbeat was released in the UK the following year. On Sunday 13 October, Ryuichi Sakamoto played a one-off gig at the Hammersmith Odeon. Celebratory events included Sumo wrestling at the Royal Albert Hall, Grand Kabuki at the National Theatre and an exhibition of Buddhist sculpture at the British Museum. In 1991, commemorations planned to mark the 100th anniversary of The Japan Society in London grew into a festival promoting the art and culture of Japan. ![]() ![]() ![]() B- (negative) patients are only able to receive blood from other B- (negative) donors. ![]() With AB blood types, both A and B antigens are present on red blood cell surfaces.įor example, type B+ blood can be donated to either blood type B+ or to blood type AB+ recipients.Blood type classification depends on whether the surface of a red blood cell(s) contains Antigen A or B.Each antigen operates differently in terms of immune response.An antigen is a molecule with specific characteristics, particularly on its surfaces (known as epitopes).3 Landsteiner classified blood based on identification of antigens: In our last article on blood type B, we shared that the ABO Blood Group System was discovered in 1900 by (Austrian-born) American researcher Karl Landsteiner. All about ABs: An in-depth look at diet, exercise & personality In this article, we’ll delve into some of these factors, and if you’re blood type AB, you can decide for yourself if these characteristics fit you. The medical establishment has weighed in on D’Adamo’s theory, conceding that your unique biochemistry might reveal the basis for disease, optimal aging, exercise prescription, and even emotional resilience - but stops short of declaring a direct correlation between blood type and what foods are right for each type. Since its publication, Eat Right for Your Type has drawn praise and criticism from different corners of the medical community, yet that same medical community is still studying Dr. Peter D’Adamo’s 1996 book, Eat Right for Your Type: 4 Blood Types, 4 Diets. The foundation for that chapter and the articles in this series draws from the work of Dr. And since Body Ecology’s System of Health and Healing is based on 7 Universal Principles, the Principle of Uniqueness is a law that we always honor in Body Ecology. Our differing blood types are just one more thing that makes us each unique. ![]() In fact, one chapter in The Body Ecology Diet: Recovering Your Health and Building Immunity is entirely devoted to blood types. Would it benefit ABs to know more about their blood type than just the name of the antigen contained in their blood? We think so. ![]() Just like blood type A or type B, which we reviewed in our two prior articles in our blood type series, an AB’s special biochemistry can influence everything from their approach to exercise, to what foods are best to eat, to determining what diseases or conditions for which they may be at risk and how those might be mitigated.įree download: Get the Body Ecology blood type ebook.

Watch the meld of the opposing team as well as your partner, it is telling as far as who has which cards. So if I have all the cards for a double run in trump except for one card, I will gamble by bidding high in the hopes of getting that one card from my partner. Passing cards is a vital means of getting more points. Also, you want to be a team player so even though you may have a great hand with almost a double run in trump or a lot of points, your partner may have a better hand than you so you should not bid against your partner, you only drive up the bidding and thus the amount of points needed. If I am bidding, I will bid 59 off-the-bat simply to block my opponent’s ability to pass meld. Bidding can also be used to block communication out from the other players. If I have 57 points in my hand, I will pass 56 as my bid. If I have Aces (an Ace in each suit) along with that, I will bid 20 points as 52. Say if I am holding a hand that only gives 14 points I will pass 10 points by bidding 51. When bidding begins the first person to bid “passes” his partner his meld. The non-winning bid team must bring back at least 20 points to have the meld they put down after bidding to count. The player who won the bid must bring back the difference in points between the bid and the actual meld, but never less than 20 points. If they cannot beat the royal card and do not have the original suit they must still play a royal card if in their possession, or if not then can throw out any card.Įach 10, King and Ace is worth 1 point and the last play is worth an extra 2 points. If the first card is a regular non-royal card and the next card to beat it is a royal card the next player must play the suit first played, or in the absence of a card in that suit must play a royal card if they possess one. If they do not have a card of the same suit, they must either throw out a royal card or, if lacking a royal card, any card of any suit. If they do not have a card to beat the strongest card on board then they have to throw out a card of the same suit. Play is run clock-wise and the person who is due to play the next card has to play a card which beats the other card (if they have it). If there is a marriage then the points are tabulated:Ī “run” in the royal suit (meaning all cards from 10 to Ace):Ī Pinochle (a Jack of Diamonds and a Queen of spades): If there is no marriage, the hand cannot be played and the winning bidder loses points equal to the bid placed. The suit called as trump must have what is termed a “marriage”-a King and Queen of that suit. A royal card beats any non-royal card and the royal cards beat each other in the same order as just described. The strength of the card goes by the following order from weakest to strongest: Jack, Queen, King, 10, then Ace. That is-the suit which is stronger than the other suits and can win hands. The person winning the bid is passed any 4 cards from their partner and then passes any other 4 cards back to their partnerįirst off, the person who wins the bid must call what the trump suit is (or the “royal” suit). Bidding increments can be as low as by 1 up to 60 when they go to increments of 5 (see strategy for more on bidding). Bidding begins with the first person being forced to make an “open” bid which is 50 or anything higher if they wish. Each player calculates what cards they have, what those cards are worth, and whether they can meld enough points to play the hand that they bid for. Calculations are very specific and are taken into account on whether the hand can even be played. Prior to beginning the card play between the players, the cards are dealt and the points are “melded” (or calculated). There have to be 4 players as well with partners being spaced out from each other, partners usually sit directly across from each other. There are 4 of each card in each suit in the deck for a total of 90 cards. This form of Pinochle is played with only the cards 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. Here I will teach you how to play the most common form. There are several forms of the game Pinochle-points and the types and number of cards vary. ![]() ![]() Related tags: Darth Vader, Imperial Officer, Luke Skywalker, Stormtrooper, Converts, D2c, Display Stand, Galactic Empire, Minifigure Scale, Nameplate, Original Trilogy, Return Of The Jedi, Star Wars Shuttle.
