![]() ![]() Hennessy will enable small businesses to register in this platform in-order to obtain financial assistance to meet urgent needs. Through this they will financially help small businesses to come out of this crisis. In order to safeguard these vulnerable small businesses, Hennessy has launched its ‘unfinished business’ initiative in the United States. The virus-imposed shutdown has forced several businesses in a multitude of sectors to shut down permanently. The economic crisis triggered by the Covid-19 is continuing to affect many people. Information about the businesses can be found on the Instagram accounts of Payton ( and Hennessy ( So far, the response from business owners they've helped has been overwhelming.Hennessy steps out to support small minority-owned businesses amidst Covid-19 crisis through their 'Unfinished Business' initiative. In honor of the 75th Anniversary of the NBA, Hennessy is spotlighting 75 Unfinished Business recipients that are going above and beyond to make an impact in their communities. The initiative has enlisted 17 NBA teams to contribute so far, and their biggest impact is yet to come. ![]() If we have the ability to come and help, we're gonna do that." "When you put up your life savings - your life savings - to start something, and it gets taken away like that just on an unfortunate thing, it's not fair. "We just decided that we needed to get these people back on their feet, and that's what we tried to do," Payton told CBS Sports. He partnered with Hennessy in a program called Unfinished Business, a long-term initiative that has distributed more than $7.5 million to help Black, Latinx and Asian-American-owned small businesses get through the challenges brought on by the pandemic. So when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, devastating countless businesses across the country that struggled to keep employees and customers, Payton sprung into action. Whether setting up a youth center or providing children with shopping sprees for the holidays, Payton has always found time to do the work that he feels is necessary. Throughout his 17-year NBA career and post-retirement, Payton has consistently given his time, money and energy to his hometown Oakland community, along with various other national and international charities. ![]() That's what I've seen, and I decided I needed to help once I made it in my life." But my dad was there to help them in that community - get them tennis shoes, get them a place to play basketball, get them a place to go do things. "They just had a mother who was working, and they could get out on the streets and do bad things. My dad was the one who was in the community when my best friends, a lot of my guys, didn't have a father," Gary Payton Sr. on the court, while keeping him from succumbing to the temptations and dangers of Oakland in the early 1980s.Īs important as basketball is to the Paytons, however, Al also instilled a necessary fiber of their being: Giving back to the community. Mean" due to his no-nonsense approach to just about every facet of life. That legacy began with the elder Payton's late father, Al, a Bay Area legend known as "Mr. Hall of Famer and NBA 75th Anniversary Team selectee Gary Payton's legacy has noticeably been carried on during the NBA Finals by his son, Golden State Warriors defensive menace Gary Payton II. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then I went over parts of the tree with a wet brush, blending the pencil marks into soft gray tones. This locust tree was sketched with an aquamedia pencil. Except for the large pine, all the elements have a soft look accompanied by the kind of quiet found in fields and woods. I wanted to capture the mood created when the sky and the land take on a warm gray appearance after a storm. The gray sky, with a little white showing, tells us the storm is over and the sky might be clearing. In the drawing below, we see a pine tree in a field after a snowstorm. You can also tell a story with your winter sky. A driving storm would show more snow covering the trunk and vertical wood of a tree a light snow would show much less. The way you portray snow on trees will tell the viewer if it was a heavy snow, a driving storm or just flurries. It is not necessary to include every limb of the trees the vertical lines spotted around give the appearance of many trees on a snow-covered mountain. A few identifiable pine shapes are spotted throughout, creating the illusion of a mountain range covered with snow and pines. ![]() The tree-lengths were varied throughout the picture. The trees were indicated with short lines at the peaks and upper parts of the mountains. All were executed with the same pencil, demonstrating what you can accomplish with one pencil, varying the pressure as you work. I used an HB graphite pencil on a sheet of Strathmore sketching paper. In all three of these sketches, the sky was first shaded, then stomped. As I work to the foreground, shapes get larger and darker, creating a sense of depth and perspective. In the close-up view of Hunter Mountain in New York state (Sketch C), I darkened the tree line on the left, gradually lightening it as it moves to the right. Notice how the tree shapes were used to create designs across the mountain range. It had these beautiful snowy peaks with thousands and thousands of trees breaking through the snow. On a trip to Yellowstone National Park, I sketched this mountain range (Sketch B), which was different from my mountains back home. Vary your angles and shapes to create more interest. Mountain ridges with trees offer many opportunities for creating interesting shapes and designs, but be careful not to make ridges parallel to each other or make trees all alike. I can see part of the Catskill Mountains from my studio window, and when I look at the skyline, I see a line of trees silhouetted against the sky that, to me, resembles the stubble of a beard (Sketch A). ![]() Use your blending tool to blend out any harsh lines.Snow-covered mountains present a variety of shapes and patterns to compose beautiful winter landscapes. Use a light brown colored pencil to lightly shade the landscape around the mountains. Use light strokes with a blue colored pencil to create a sky, and then blend it out for a realistic look. Finally, lightly color in the sky and the landscape around the mountains to give the scene some context.Color in small patches of green on the sides of the mountains, and use your blending tool to make them look more realistic. Next, choose a green colored pencil to add some vegetation to the mountain range.Use a blending tool and slowly work over the colored areas, smudging them together. Blend the colors together to create a more realistic look.Use the same technique as before and use different pressure on the pencil to achieve different tones. Continue to add depth to the mountain range by shading the sides of the mountains using lighter tones of the same color. ![]() Try to vary the pressure on the pencil, so you can get different gradations in color. Using a dark brown or black colored pencil, shade in the areas that would be darkest. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let’s see how the new Big Three closes the season. 21 of those points came in the first half alone. And Sharpe scored 26 points on 10-20 gunning, to go along with 4 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Watford also shot 10-15 from the field, scoring 24 points. Knox popped off for 30 points (5-8 3PT) and 11 rebounds on 10-15 shooting, marking the second game in a row he scored at least 20 points. They all performed great yesterday as Portland gave the Los Angeles Clippers a run for their money - at least for three quarters. The trio has been Portland’s best performers during the late season tank job, restoring some entertainment for the present and some hope for the future. Now the Blazers are ending the season with a Big Three of Shaedon Sharpe, Trendon Watford and Kevin Knox.

Think about learning Magic Eye it’s fun and so much easier to do the Spot the Difference competition if you are a ME player and you will be a more valuable team mate for clubs. HW is the most important thing to master and then join a club to get lots of energy every day from your team mates. I wrote a long note on my tips for playing HW if you would like me to post it I can. The best thing you can do for yourself right now is learn how to play the Help Wanted in a way that you get the most you can out of playing without having to waste too many diamonds changing the tasks. Right now it’s probably best that you play all the stars for now to build up your resources, a lot of good stuff you need are in those boxes. I save the last two stars for the tasks “beat your own score”.īut I don’t think you need to worry about that yet until you get to the next to the last chapter to conserve your scenes. For tasks that don’t make me travel forward I just play old scenes over and over till I get a good score then I move on to the next star or old scene. I’m at the end of the game so I do the clue tasks and then save the last two stars for later because the last thing anyone wants is to be at the end with no stars left to play for. Ĭomment found on June's Journey: Hidden Objects: Resubmitting : We are about. We've been trying for some time without success. ![]() Good luck on trying to level the playing good. The response is everyone has the same number of hours, but in the final hours, we're sleeping. But teams in the Far East and even parts of Europe, have either almost another day or half day to play. Other than Magic Eye, which we've repeatedly ask them to put them in separate groups, there's also time zone issues.Īs the DL competition is ending it's nighttime for most of our team. They now limit your DL drinks to, I believe 2 per night.īut we know players are finding ways to increase their scores. I have to confess we tried it our efforts to suplement our other play, as a way to keep up with the "Super Players", but was costly. People with lots of diamonds really took advantage of this. I believe we were one of the teams in the "new café" beta test.Īt first you could give DL ribbons as all of your 5 beverages. No need for Magic Eye at all! Ĭomment found on June's Journey: Hidden Objects: Question regarding this week '. Ugh.)Ĥ) Additionally, I also think that computer savvy programmers, with a minimal knowledge of image processing, could automate the whole STD with a simple algorithm. Not ME herself, but scored about 1,300,000 due to the extra time. ![]() In her case, it was a 30min STD and she played for ~90min. The glitch only affected her, not the whole team. (~18,000 pts per higher round, which aligns in my brain from what I was scoring in each round before time ran out.)ģ) As for the timing glitch, I know someone who experienced this on a STD about a week ago. The extra points are due to the higher rounds being worth an "exponentially" higher point value. So I scored (440,000/41) ~11,000 per round on average, so 4 extra rounds should only be 44,000 points (If the scoring was linear), not 75,000 points. I completed 41 rounds and scored 440,000, my friend completed 45 rounds and scored 515,000, an extra 75,000 in just 4 rounds. ![]() For instance, I keep notes and compare to my friend. Scored just over 1,500,000 on the 30min STD, so similar to you and your teammates.Ģ) As for doubling the score, this does not require double the speed, as the scoring ramps up with each successive round (vs being a linear progression where each round is weighted the same). 1) Not Magic Eye myself, but we have one on our team. ![]() ![]() ![]() Google is happy to provide their AdWords Editor software as a free download to help make managing your campaigns easier.

Companies may face difficulties with the amplification of political content and issues around free speech. The search results that companies show, while being based on multiple factors, can prove controversial. (DuckDuckGo uses Bing to help power its search results, while StartPage is based on Google.) While billions of searches are made with Google alternatives each year, that’s still a drop in the ocean compared to Google’s dominance. Among others-all with slightly different privacy claims and ways of working-are DuckDuckGo, StartPage, and Mojeek. This includes Brave, which launched its search in beta last year. “In the abundance of information available, including dis- and malinformation, to correctly curate what is believed to be relevant and what not, or even untrue, is a huge task,” Willemsen says.ĭespite Google’s dominance, there’s a flourishing market for alternative privacy-focused search engines, which claim not to track users or use their personal information for creepy ads. ![]() ![]() “Exercising bias control is an action for the thoughtful,” says Bart Willemsen, a VP analyst focusing on privacy at Gartner, who adds that he is hopeful Goggles can have positive results.

It is very hard, if not impossible, to remove all biases from search results. “Biases are everywhere: the underlying data, which sites are easier to crawl, which models are chosen, feature selection, presentation biases, popularity, the list can go on indefinitely,” Pujol says. Pujol says that Brave created Goggles-which it first outlined in a 2021 white paper-to help remove biases from search results, including those in Brave’s search, and give people more choice. ![]() ![]() ![]() Delay between PNH diagnosis and pregnancy was also recorded, as well as specific PNH treatment during pregnancy. Pancytopenia was considered when the 3 hematopoietic lineages were altered. Cytopenias were defined by 2 or 3 of the following criteria: anemia, defined as hemoglobin (Hb) levels less than 12g/dL thrombocytopenia, defined as platelet counts less than 150×10 9/L and neutropenia, defined as neutrophil counts less than 1.5×10 9/L. Dates of diagnosis and circumstances leading to diagnosis (presence of cytopenias, hemolysis, or thrombosis) were recorded. We analyzed maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period.Ī diagnosis of PNH was defined as an unequivocally positive Ham test before 1996 or by flow cytometry demonstrating the presence of more than 5% GPI-AP deficient polymorphonuclear cells after this time point. Here, we retrospectively reviewed 27 cases of pregnancy in 22 French women with PNH between 19. Venous thrombotic events (VTEs) were the major cause of maternal death. 4 Maternal and fetal mortality rates were 11.6% and 7.2%, respectively. Although there is little information about PNH and pregnancy in the literature, a recent review identified 23 clinical reports published between 19 describing pregnancy outcomes in 43 women with PNH. ![]() Worsening cytopenias may complicate the management of pregnancy but the main concern is the occurrence of thrombosis, which is responsible for the high mortality rates in pregnant PNH patients. Pregnancy in women with PNH is associated with an increased risk of complications for both mother and fetus, leading to high maternal and fetal mortality rates. A frequent association between PNH and aplastic anemia (AA) has been described, with 2 potential patterns of evolution: progressive marrow failure in PNH patients or AA in which a PNH clone is detected. 1 Patients are at risk for thromboses, major life-threatening risks of PNH, 2 which often occur at unusual sites. Patients with PNH may present with a wide range of clinical manifestations such as weakness, pallor, and asthenia due to hemolysis, but also abdominal pain, dysphagia, or pulmonary hypertension. ![]() Manifestations of the disease are primarily related to complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis due to the lack of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored complement regulatory proteins (GPI-AP) CD55 and CD59 on erythrocyte cells.
