The album's lead single " (Reach Up for The) Sunrise" was an international dance hit, and reached number five in the UK. A full reunion of the line-up of Le Bon, Rhodes, and all three Taylors in 2001 led to a number of highly successful concert tours and the 2004 album Astronaut, which reached number 3 in the UK and top 40 in numerous other countries. After John Taylor left in 1997, the band released a number of albums and singles which underperformed on the sales charts. Their comeback album, 1993's Duran Duran (commonly called The Wedding Album), featured two top-ten worldwide hits " Ordinary World" and " Come Undone". The band spent the rest of the 1980s and early 1990s continuing to release albums and singles, to only moderate success. In 1985, the band topped the US charts with the single " A View to a Kill" from the soundtrack of the James Bond film of the same name.Īndy and Roger left the band before the recording of their fourth album, Notorious (1986), which yielded the top ten title track. Their follow-up third album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, became their only UK number one album and featured the US and UK number one single " The Reflex". "Hungry Like the Wolf" won the inaugural Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 1984. The songs " Hungry Like the Wolf" and " Rio" featured cinematic music videos directed by Australian film maker Russel Mulcahy and became two of their biggest hits. The band's breakthrough second album was Rio (1982), which peaked at number six in the US, number two in the United Kingdom, and number one in Australia and Canada. A heavily edited form played in rotation on MTV. Photographer Denis O'Regan, who captured the band during their 1984 tour, commented "Duran Duran in America was like Beatlemania." The band's first major hit was " Girls on Film" (1981), from their self-titled debut album, the popularity of which was enhanced by a controversial music video. The group was a leading band in the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US in the 1980s. Innovators of the music video, Duran Duran were catapulted into the mainstream with the introduction of the 24-hour music channel MTV. When Duran Duran emerged they were generally considered part of the New Romantic scene. With the addition of drummer Roger Taylor the following year, the band went through numerous personnel changes before May 1980, when they settled on their most famous line-up by adding guitarist Andy Taylor and lead vocalist Simon Le Bon. Duran Duran ( / dj ʊ ˌ r æ n dj ʊ ˈ r æ n/) are an English alternative dance band formed in Birmingham in 1978 by singer and bassist Stephen Duffy, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, and guitarist/bassist John Taylor. ![]()

The editing is done in a window that allows only setting the URL. Speaking of links, you can edit existing ones or insert new ones from a right-click menu or from the drop-down list. You can copy past text, links, or images from other apps. Regarding the integration with the system and other apps, MarsEdit is perfect. The only difference is that the application menu is hidden until the mouse goes near the top of the screen. Actually, in the full screen mode the window is almost the same size as when maximized. Also, to avoid getting disrupted by other stuff on the screen, the editor window can be maximized. We could select a bigger one, less tiring for the eyes :-). But, only HTML code of your post is accessible this way! For rich text editing, you have to use MarsEdit built-in editor.Īmong features we like is the ability to customize the text font. The list can be extended so you can add your favorite text editing software and use it on a right-click menu of the main window. Unfortunately, there is no means to list all tags used in the blog.Īn editor preference allows to select an external editor (Picture 3). Regarding tags, we like the completion that eases retrieving older ones. It’s also possible to set the post slug and excerpt. Among other available options, one allow choosing if the post should go to the drafts folder on the server or be published immediately. Categories already defined in the blog are listed on the right pane. Setting post options are straight forward. You’d better learn short-cuts, since this applies to frequently used features such as text formatting! Indeed, most functionalities can be accessed through a single drop down list. ![]() Few tools show up on the toolbar, and there aren’t much more available. The post editor looks rather poor (Picture 2). Picture 2: Formatting is Accessible Only Through a Drop Down List The main window (Picture 1) lists posts and pages of all registered blogs together with local drafts. The download is swift and the formatting is preserved, including embedded HTML tags. One difference with competitors we reviewed so far is that after install, MarsEdit downloads not only recent posts but also pages. Picture 1: Main Window Lists Posts and Pages for Every Registered Blog But, then why should one choose between HTML or rich text editing? Knowing that it’s possible to switch from one format to the other during editing and that the default for new posts can be set in preferences, we suggest red sweater developers to skip this step in the next version.

Now you can brighten the tricky areas, such as around the eyes, to let a little more light into that region – and you can reduce the darkness in the forehead at the same time. You could now switch to the Dodge tool, but there’s a shortcut: holding Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) allows you to access that tool temporarily. As you paint, you’ll see the image darkening. ![]() Paint over the over-bright areas of the image, such as the side of the hand and the forehead, which were previously blown out. The difference is that you’re now looking at the layer through the Adjustment Layer, rather than applying the effect directly this means you can modify the underlying layer while still seeing exactly the result you’re going to get.Ĭhoose the Burn tool, set to Midtones, and set it at a very low Exposure – about 10%. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Threshold, and you’ll see a very similar effect. So Cancel this operation, and start again. But while this makes the sweater more defined, it completely loses the detail in the face. You can drag the Threshold slider to the left, which will brighten the image and turn a smaller range to pure black. The face is reasonably well converted to black and white, but all the information in the sweater has disappeared – and the side of the hand has vanished entirely. The conventional way of stylizing an image of this kind is to use Image > Adjustments > Threshold, which produces this effect by default. It should be a silhouette, so that the background remains pure white otherwise, you’re likely to get stray bits of scenery looking odd as they poke out of your subject’s head. You can use just about any image you like for this process. But this isn’t enough on its own as we’ll see here, by using an Adjustment Layer instead, we’re able to customize the end result so as to bring everything perfectly into view. The standard method of achieving this is to use the Threshold adjustment. It also has the advantage of unifying images drawn from a wide range of sources, so they all look as if they belong in the same publication. Turning images to black and white gives them a stark, urban feel that can look great in reports and magazines. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Pentagon referred all requests for comment on Afghanistan drawdown plans to the White House. His national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, had said shortly before Trump tweeted that troop numbers would be brought down to 2,500 early next year.Ībout 4,500 troops are currently on the ground in Afghanistan, reduced from over 12,000 when the deal was signed in February. It was the latest in a long line of ad hoc policy announcements from Trump that have caught his own advisers and military by surprise. The White House doubled down on the message on Thursday morning: “our troops in Afghanistan are coming home by the end of the year”, the official Twitter account for the administration said. Trump’s plans were announced in a tweet late on Wednesday night. Some critics of the Doha talks argue that the militants are merely marking time until the departure of US troops. The US-Taliban deal laid out a full departure of American forces by May 2021 but only if conditions on counter-terrorism were met, including severing ties with al-Qaida. The peace talks were set up under a withdrawal agreement signed earlier this year between the Taliban and Trump’s administration. The Afghan government and Taliban negotiators are currently attempting to hammer out a new political settlement for the country in the Qatari capital. ![]() In most cases the Pentagon has sought to mitigate and slow the speed of the pullout but in some case the president has prevailed in bringing soldiers back home. He also has a record of ordering abrupt and total troop withdrawals from foreign deployments. Trump has made impulsive policy announcements about Afghanistan on Twitter before, including calling off a US-Taliban summit last year, shortly before a withdrawal agreement was first expected to be signed. “We could make some superficial show of pulling out uniformed troops, but obviously we still have a very massive contractor presence, and we would need a uniformed headquarters to oversee the shutdown and withdrawal of everything we have in country.” It’s simply can’t happen,” said Jason Dempsey, a former infantry officer who served in Afghanistan. Without the prospect of US military pressure, the Taliban would have little incentive to stay at the negotiating table with representatives of the Kabul government.įrom a practical point of view, disentangling a 19-year military presence would take considerably longer than two months. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Be patient, consistent and honest when communicating with them.

It's natural to resist it in some ways, since the older we get, the closer we get to the end of our lives, which we certainly don't want to hasten-especially if we actually love living. Most of us live our daily lives somewhere in the middle of these two realities, wanting to embrace our aging selves but also hoping to stave off some of the more obvious signs that we're getting older. People will try all manner of creams, serums, masks, acids, lights, technologies and surgeries to try to prevent wrinkles, lines, sagginess, spots and other signs that our bodies are changing with time. ![]() According to Statista, the global anti-aging beauty market is estimated to be worth $58.8 billion. On the other hand, our society does everything in its power to hide the fact that aging happens. The longer we live, the more we grow and learn and experience life, and "aging" is simply the mathematical sum of those experiences. Few people would wish for the kind of short, uneventful life that would remove aging from the equation completely.

For example, a person may stay unbiased while stating the pros and cons and make decisions after weighing the pros and cons but still make wrong decisions. It is not necessary that constructing a pros and cons list will always lead to the right decisions. Since the person who constructs the pros and cons list is the decision maker, he may state the pros and cons biasedly. The process of constructing a pros and cons list looks very fair, but it has an element of bias. In this section, we will discuss the disadvantages of using the pros and cons list. While plenty of advantages attract people to use pros and cons templates for decision-making, there are some drawbacks too. Disadvantages of Using Pros and Cons List Template Since there are no complexities in constructing the pros and cons list template, anyone can use it for their benefit. One of the most significant advantages of the pros and cons is its simplicity. As a result, the decision maker can make decisions objectively, not emotionally. When the decision maker goes through the process of listing pros and cons, it makes the decision maker see the situation more objectively, without the influence of emotions. The pros and cons method increases objectivity. This mechanism improves decision-making and helps the decision maker in making better decisions. Moreover, as discussed earlier, weights are assigned to pros and cons according to their importance. As a result, no critical factor is missed. The cons of our investment in stocks would be that all the money invested can be lost, the stock market can crash, low dividends, etc.Ĭonstructing a pros and cons list template improves decision-making since its process includes brainstorming and then listing down the pros and cons. However, brainstorming is required to list the cons further. Similar to the pros, some cons will immediately pop up in your mind. The column representing cons will consist of disadvantages associated with the decision. List the ConsĪfter listing the pros, move to the second column and state the cons. Moreover, asking questions such as “How will this benefit me” and “What could you accomplish” can help you list more pros.įor example, the pros of investing money in stocks are that it’ll make you earn more money, invested money is safe, it’s better than keeping cash, etc. Using mind mapping can help in exploring more cons associated with the decision. While brainstorming, you can use the mind mapping technique to represent your thoughts visually. However, you’ll have to brainstorm to find more pros. Some of the pros will come to your mind immediately. List the ProsĪfter the T-chart has been constructed, start filling the pros column with all possible positive outcomes if the decision is taken. On the other hand, the second method can make your preference visible since one of the columns may have more reasons. However, the first method will create a balanced template with an equal number of pros and cons. It depends on you, whatever method you find comfortable. Whereas others state all the pros first and then all the cons. Some people prefer filling the column alternatively, for example, adding one pro and one con. Select the Method of Filling the Columnsīefore stating the pros and cons, selecting the method to add the pros and cons in the columns is essential. The structure of the pros and cons list template can also be referred to as the T-chart due to its format. Label the left column as pros and the right column as cons. For example, it can be “investing money in stocks.”Īfter stating the decision in question, make two columns. The first step in constructing the pros and cons list template is to mention the decision for which you list the pros and cons. Let’s proceed further and see the steps required to make the pros and cons list template in detail. However, there are a few steps that are to be followed to construct one. It may sound complicated, but even a seven-year-old can form a pros and cons template. ![]() How to Make a Pros and Cons List TemplateĬonstructing a pros and cons list template is very easy.
![]() ![]() Orion is filled to the brim with objects like Amazon Alexa, TV character Shaun the Sheep, mannequins, miniature satellites and most importantly, tons of navigation and data collection equipment. (That's planned for 2025.)Īt launch, Artemis I's 32-story rocket blasted off from Earth and propel a relatively small white spacecraft named Orion into lunar orbit. There's a lot riding on its success, though, including the prospect of landing people on the moon sometime in the near future. To be clear, this mission doesn't have astronauts on board. Well, it could happen as soon as Wednesday. "So when will this cursed thing launch?" you might've been asking. Thankfully, only minor repairs were necessary to get the rocket back into shape. But that decision jeopardized the launch timeline one more time because it meant Artemis I had to battle incredibly high winds it wasn't quite built to withstand. The rocket wasn't rolled off the launchpad this time. And then , as if Artemis I hadn't already been through enough, Hurricane Nicole blew in last week. The agency finally announced a new launch date of Nov. 2 because the storm forced NASA to roll the tangerine machine off the launchpad and back to safety in the Vehicle Assembly Building. Hurricane Ian even ruined the agency's backup launch date of Oct. The third attempt got nixed in late September as Hurricane Ian threatened Artemis I's launch site at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. On the second attempt a few days later, a pesky hydrogen leak kept it grounded. NASA scrubbed the craft's first launch attempt in late August due to a troublesome engine issue. NASA's ambitious, expensive and intricate moon rocket, Artemis I, has had a rough run. What follows below is the original story.
