![]() "I can tell so much care and attention went into the lightening process, as well as the aftercare." Jung only recommends platinum for clients that understand the high-maintenance upkeep, time commitment, potential for damage (you'll probably lose a few inches), and dedication to regular treatments. Vernon François is the colorist behind Solange's blonde, someone Jung calls "one of the most brilliant hair dressers." Of course, we couldn't agree more. She stunned us all when she debuted this braided look and then later revealed an incredible platinum Afro." "It isn't a fast process and definitely not for the faint of heart there will be damage. "Solange's platinum level 10 is one of the most requested blondes and the hardest to achieve," says Los Angeles-based colorist Liz Jung. Instead of braiding in her extensions with her typically dark roots, the singer also dyed her natural hair a warm blonde color, which is creating the contrast you see here. Slightly darker blonde tones at the roots combined with lighter blonde tones at the ends make Solange's blonde braids a winner in our book. Ahead is a selection of some of our favorite blondes, along with some expert advice from top colorists on how to choose the perfect shade. ![]() Whether you choose to wear a blonde wig, or decide to sit in a salon chair and let the bleach do its thing, you have a ton of options in a wide range of hues and tones. Take our word for it: There is a blonde for you. Ten minutes with Luminous Pearl and I have the perfect dark ash mushroom. and tone, and hated the contrast between my dark natural blonde roots and level 10 platinum roots. And it's that versatility that makes blonde hair so universally flattering. It changes your blonde hair to a beautiful, silver blonde, absolutely stunning, and it just fades away slowly, so you can go from a blonde to a shiny almost lilac, hue. ![]() Some blondes flirt dangerously close to dynamic brunette others are a mere whisper from auburn. And there are also shades of gold, honey, butter, sunshine, and Scandinavian snow.ĭon't even get us started on highlights. Intermixable with all Calura Permanent Shine shades (except Pure Blonde High Lift. This series not only offers white hair coverage, but also enhanced lift on natural hair. The 8 Ultra series offers lighter, softer, beautiful, luminous blondes. For starters, the hue has about one billion permutations, from the coolest, iciest silvery shade, to the richest and earthiest mushroomy hue. The 8 Ultra series was formulated to offer 100 white coverage for guests with 30 to 100 white hair. After all, the global appeal of blonde makes sense. Not to mention yourself: If you've clicked on this article, you've probably been or considered going blonde, too. Chances are, they've been blonde at some point in their career. And while statistics are inconclusive as to how many of us are blonde by other means - "unnatural" blonde is so harsh, no? - we're willing to bet good money that blonde is the most-requested shade in the hair salon, and the most-purchased out-of-the-box shade at the drugstore.ĭon't believe us? Think of your favorite celebrity. By most sound estimates, only about two percent of the world's population is naturally blonde.

The first is the case of Able Desktop, software used by many Mongolian government agencies. ![]() This incident is also the third supply chain attack discovered by ESET over the past two months. Until today, and based on its own telemetry, ESET said it spotted malware-laced NoxPlayer updates being delivered to only five victims, located in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Sri Lanka.ĮSET has released today a report with technical details for NoxPlayers to determine if they received a malware-laced update and how to remove the malware.Ī BigNox spokesperson did not return a request for comment. "Three different malware families were spotted being distributed from tailored malicious updates toselected victims, with no sign of leveraging any financial gain, but rather surveillance-related capabilities," ESET said in a report shared today with ZDNet.ĭespite evidence implying that attackers had access to BigNox servers since at least September 2020, ESET said the threat actor didn't target all of the company's users but instead focused on specific machines, suggesting this was a highly-targeted attack looking to infect only a certain class of users. Using this access, hackers tampered with the download URL of NoxPlayer updates in the API server in order to deliver malware to NoxPlayer users. The attack was discovered by Slovak security firm ESET on January 25, last week, and targeted BigNox, a company that makes NoxPlayer, a software client for emulating Android apps on Windows or macOS desktops.ĮSET says that based on evidence its researchers gathered, a threat actor compromised one of the company's official API () and file-hosting servers ().

Attackers targeted only a handful of victims. ![]() These include the length of the fault, magnitude, the depth of the quake, the distance from the epicentre, the duration (length of the shake cycle), and the geology of the ground (subsurface). These values vary in different earthquakes, and in differing sites within one earthquake event, depending on a number of factors. PGA records the acceleration (rate of change of speed) of these movements, while peak ground velocity is the greatest speed (rate of movement) reached by the ground, and peak displacement is the distance moved. Geophysics Įarthquake energy is dispersed in waves from the hypocentre, causing ground movement omnidirectionally but typically modelled horizontally (in two directions) and vertically. For moderate earthquakes, PGA is a reasonably good determinant of damage in severe earthquakes, damage is more often correlated with peak ground velocity. In an earthquake, damage to buildings and infrastructure is related more closely to ground motion, of which PGA is a measure, rather than the magnitude of the earthquake itself. It is often used within earthquake engineering (including seismic building codes) and it is commonly plotted on seismic hazard maps. The peak horizontal acceleration (PHA) is the most commonly used type of ground acceleration in engineering applications. It can be correlated to macroseismic intensities on the Mercalli scale but these correlations are associated with large uncertainty. The Mercalli intensity scale uses personal reports and observations to measure earthquake intensity but PGA is measured by instruments, such as accelerographs. Unlike the Richter and moment magnitude scales, it is not a measure of the total energy (magnitude, or size) of an earthquake, but rather of how much the earth shakes at a given geographic point. PGA is an important parameter (also known as an intensity measure) for earthquake engineering, The design basis earthquake ground motion ( DBEGM) is often defined in terms of PGA. Horizontal PGAs are generally larger than those in the vertical direction but this is not always true, especially close to large earthquakes. ![]() Therefore, PGA is often split into the horizontal and vertical components. Earthquake shaking generally occurs in all three directions. PGA is equal to the amplitude of the largest absolute acceleration recorded on an accelerogram at a site during a particular earthquake. Peak ground acceleration ( PGA) is equal to the maximum ground acceleration that occurred during earthquake shaking at a location. Maximum ground acceleration during an earthquake at a location ![]() Classification log-likelihood under the assumption that the true class membership is known.The closer these values are to 1 the better the predictions.

XLSTAT-LG provides one section per model (each model being represented by a specific number of classes): It is also possible to optimize Bayes constants, sets of random starting values, as well iteration parameters for both the Expectation-Maximization and Newton-Raphson algorithms, which are used for model estimation. XLSTAT-LG allows lauching computations automatically on different models according to different number of classes.

Since the latent variable is categorical, Latent Class modeling differs from more traditional latent variable approaches such as factor analysis, structural equation models, and random-effects regression models since these approaches are based on continuous latent variables. Formally, latent classes are represented by K distinct categories of a nominal latent variable X. Cases within the same latent class are homogeneous with respect to their responses on these indicators, while cases in different latent classes differ in their response patterns. The latent classes are constructed based on the observed (manifest) responses of the cases on a set of indicator variables. Latent class analysis (LCA) involves the construction of Latent Classes which are unobserved (latent) subgroups or segments of cases. ![]() And, in fairness, Hank Jr.’s duets with his father, although he did not associate Hank Sr. We’ve already sort of seen this in country music with Sam Hunt desecrating Webb Pierce a few years ago. It could result in a posthumous loss of reputation. You mentioned AI and, while not quite relevant to the UAW strike, something that has been mentioned during the SAG-AFTRA strike is the ethics of actors’ likenesses being used artificially after they pass in projects they never agreed to work on during their life. I can’t imagine him okaying it, but who knows? He was also the brother of songwriting great Paul Williams (also Little Enos in the Smokey and the Bandit movies and the star of the underrated Phantom of the Paradise). She had three children, but he wasn’t the biological father of any of them. But he passed away in 2016, a year after his longtime partner, country great Lynn Anderson. Looking into who okayed this, it seems that Mentor Williams, who wrote “Drift Away” is fully credited as a songwriter. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the last dying gasp of Music Row songwriting by committee trying to clear its books of all final inventory before the songwriters from Appalachia, Texas, Oklahoma, and elsewhere finally an irrevocably take over and transform country music back into what it originally was supposed to be, which was three chords and the truth, and people singing from their hearts. And Jelly Roll who guests on the track should be embarrassed that he allowed Lynch to piggyback off the country rapper’s current relevancy so anyone would even pay attention to this track. Dustin Lynch proves unequivocally he’s a creative-bereft shell of a hackneyed entertainer devoid of any original ideas in his cranium with this pathetic effort. Taj Mahal’s “Chevrolet” kicks this song’s ass and makes off with its lunch money. ![]() “Chevy Van” by Sammy Johns that was later covered by the great Waylon Jennings comes to mind. But never as such a non-sequitur, and never cut and pasted so sloppily into an otherwise sanguine and revered composition. How does a song like this even get written and released? Is Dustin Lynch like the Senator Menendez of country music, walking around with gold bars and envelopes full of cash from General Motors pension plans stuffed down his dusty denim to influence peddle for the automobile industry? Sure, multiple iconic American songs mention the Chevrolet car brand. I’d rather be mangled in a gruesome car wreck and left within an inch of life, bleeding out on the asphalt as opposed to having to listen to this song once again. In fact, if technology ever wants to subjugate the human race, replicating an army of Dustin Lynch’s with their strong jaws and repertoire of entirely vapid and disgusting music, and then proliferating them throughout society would be a smart way to pummel the human race into submission.Ĭonsumer advocates should demand an immediate recall of Dustin Lynch’s “Chevrolet” on the grounds that it can result in serious bodily injury and or death when someone hears this song while operating a motor vehicle and immediately succumbs to violent and uncontrollable projectile vomiting. Dustin Lynch is like a stand-in for artificial intelligence since he’s an automaton for the worst elements of the music industry with absolutely no soul, self-awareness, or musical conscience. You could serve Chat GPT in a handle of Tito’s and it would still spit out a better song than whatever we have here. One of the things they’re agitating for is protection from AI and technology taking their jobs. Interesting that Dustin Lynch releases this piece of shit the same week that the actual blue collar workers that he attempts to emulate with his performative grandstanding actually went on strike from Chevrolet assembly lines all across the United States. No, don’t think about this similarly to Luke Combs and his cover of “Fast Car.” “Chevrolet” is a gross bastardization of an American musical standard in the attempted service to keep Dustin Lynch’s stupid career steadfastly on the county fair and casino circuit. His latest monstrosity is a naked advertisement for General Motors that like the meth heads in your neighborhood going after your catalytic converter, pilfers key elements from the iconic song “Drift Away” made famous by John Henry Kurtz and later Dobie Gray. To think this asshole is a Grand Ole Opry member is enough to anger the blood and keep one writhing in the sheets at night. It should be of no surprise to anyone that as we check in on the bulbous, pus-filled malignant growth that is Dustin Lynch’s pop country career that it’s in need of laceration, draining, and intense radiation to keep it from metastasizing and destroying country music. ![]() She eventually found them, but fled after a “ghost” threatened her within the underground facility, losing her rubber shoes in the process.Īrriving at what would become the Shattered Forest, she began her experiment despite a raging storm. Paquette stormed off and entered Singh Labs searching for two dome shields. When Paquette proposed this idea to Luc, the two entered into an argument, partly fueled by his frustration at not being able to solve this himself. Applying this historical basis on her theory for the Ring, she hypothesized that a mechanism using two dome shields, with one surrounding the island and another progressively shrinking within, this task could be accomplished. Despite this, she continued researching, and eventually discovered a 21st-century device known as the Active Denial System, used for crowd control. Paquette wished to assist her father in his development of the Ring, but met opposition, as he wanted her to enjoy her time as a child. She often played hide and seek with the Nessie plushies made by her mother across the island. She also gained a strong curiosity for the mechanics of electricity during this time, voraciously reading her father’s books on the subject.ĭuring her childhood, Paquette spent a vast amount of time exploring the nearby island of Kings Canyon, joining her father when he traveled there to work on the electrical systems behind the upcoming Apex Games. ![]() As a child, Luc taught his daughter that the world could be a cold and harsh place, though he never introduced the concept of betrayal. Her mother passed away before she reached the age of one.

Renault Captur 1,3L Turbo EDC Intens Fast Facts:Įngine: 1,3-litre, inline-four, turbopetrol I look forward to not just road testing this vehicle alone, but doing a direct comparison with its rivals in an upcoming issue of CAR. It has to be good because South Africans are lining up to buy cars in this segment. Overall, the Captur is very difficult to fault, as are many of its peers. A non-negotiable is the auto-hold brake, which isn’t available on the Zen. The lane departure warning, which can be adjusted for intensity through a menu, and blind spot warning I’m less worried about, but for the bulk of buyers it might come in handy. What sets it apart from its Zen sibling are add-ons I suspect many South Africans would tick off if buying new, such a larger infotainment screen, height adjustment on the driver’s seat. Inside, the Captur in Intens specification obviously has all the niceties. Further into the trip, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the trip computer in my Intens was hovering at around 6,9 litres/100 km, particularly since I wasn’t exactly trying to drive economically. ![]() With many inclines thrown at it, which comprised of zipping through suburbs and stints on the motorway, I was sceptical about Renault’s claim of an average fuel consumption 6,6 L/100 km. ![]() Stress tests may be done with or without imaging (pictures of your heart). (Always talk with your provider before starting any strenuous, new exercise.) If you have a heart condition or a high risk for a heart condition, a stress test can show what level of exercise is safe for you. Your risk may be higher than normal if you have a family history of heart disease and/or certain conditions, such as diabetes, that are linked to heart disease. The test can show how much treatment is helping, including heart surgery. Your health care provider may want to see if your heart is strong enough for the operation.
