Though it’s not been proven, Elite Daily suggested that this WooPlus member might actually be Zayn in a paid partnership and if that’s the case, they definitely got their money’s worth because the WooPlus name and connection with the Kiss You singer has been the focus of dozens of headlines since Zayn (or possibly a Zayn doppelganger) was spotted on the dating app.In happier times, Zayn and Gigi welcomed their first child, daughter Khai, in September 2020. They also reported that the “Zed” member that looks just like Zayn Malik (and is even sporting a full beard) listed his location as Ottsville, Pennsylvania, and it’s worth noting that Pennsylvania is where Zayn and Gigi were living while they were together.

![]() ![]() Why was the GIL introduced at all? It makes memory management much simpler with no possibility of simultaneous access or race conditions, and it makes C extensions easier to write and easier to wrap. This means that it’s often not possible for threads to take advantage of multi-core systems. Note that if there are blocking operations which happen outside Python, long-wait tasks like I/O for instance, then the GIL is not a bottleneck and writing a threaded program will still be a benefit. However, if the blocking operations are largely crunching through CPython bytecode, then the GIL becomes a bottleneck. The GIL is controversial because it only allows one thread at a time to access the Python interpreter. Jython and IronPython, among other implementations, have no GIL. The most important thing to note is that it is only a feature of CPython (the widely used “reference” Python implementation), it’s not a feature of the language. This is because of the large impact it has on which approach you select when writing asynchronous Python. It’s impossible to talk about concurrent programming in Python without mentioning the Global Interpreter Lock, or GIL. ( Python 3 is used for the duration of the article.) The Global Interpreter Lock We’ll walk through the difference between threads and processes in a Python context, before reviewing some of the different approaches you can take and what they’re best suited for. ![]() Due to the large number of modules available in the standard library which are there to help out with this kind of thing, it’s often the case that simple concurrent tasks are surprisingly quick to implement. ![]() It’s sadly the case that writing quality concurrent code can be a real headache, but this article aims to demonstrate how easy it is to get started writing threaded programs in Python. Concurrent programming is a key asset for web servers, producer/consumer models, batch number-crunching and pretty much any time an application is bottlenecked by a resource. The ability to execute code in parallel is crucial in a wide variety of scenarios. ![]() ![]() ![]() Step 03: Once your head is covered with the dye, use a plastic cover or a shower cap to avoid further oxidation of the hair dye. Once you have all the sections covered, use the leftover paste to massage your scalp, which will cover any remaining grey roots and nourish the scalp. Layer on the paste with a dye brush and massage it in with your hands. Step 02: Separate your hair into multiple sections and start applying the dye. Put on an old t-shirt (which you do not mind ruining) and a pair of disposable or plastic gloves to avoid staining your hands and nails. Step 01: Before going in with the paste, brush out your hair to make sure there are no tangles or knots in your tresses. It is recommended you do the indigo hair treatment a day after you dye your hair with henna powder for a deep black colour. You could also mix the indigo powder into the henna powder, which will give you a dark reddish tinge. Indigo hair dye is best used after a henna hair treatment.

Soak the mixture for 20 - 30 minutes, post which the indigo powder will start releasing the dye. Add warm water to it and mix well to form a thick paste. The standard measurements are 40 - 50 grams for short hair, approximately 80 grams for shoulder length hair and around 150 grams will be necessary for long hair.Īdd the required amount of indigo powder in a non-metallic container - as a rule of thumb, glass bowls are the choice of container for mixing hair dyes. ![]() Measure out the amount of powder needed for your hair, because indigo powder, once mixed with water, cannot be stored for a second-time use. Preparing an indigo powder paste for the hair is easier than preparing a henna hair pack. This applies to indigo hair oil as well, with regular use, you end up with soft, smooth and bouncy hair. One of the best natural conditioners out there, indigo hair packs can be used to treat dry and brittle hair ends. Even when used as hair oil, regular scalp massages can nourish your scalp and keep flaking to the minimum. When used as a hair pack, the indigo powder can keep dandruff-causing scalp infections at bay. Indigo leaf powder as a home remedy for dandruff Regular massage with indigo leaf oil can help fight scalp infections and stimulate the roots to promote new hair growth. Indigo leaf hair oil can also be used as a hair growth treatment. Indigo leaf oil as a hair growth treatment Regular use of this concoction can not only reverse but prevent the greying of hair in the long term. Indigo leaf oil for greying hairĪpart from being used as a natural hair dye in the powder form, indigo leaves boiled in coconut oil can be used as a home remedy for greying hair. The plant-based nature of indigo powder is gentle on your tresses and does not contain any of the harmful chemicals - like ammonia and peroxide. When preparing the powder, the leaves are partially fermented, sun-dried to a crisp texture and then powdered.īefore we get into the details, let’s look at some of the benefits of indigo powder for hair… Benefits of indigo for hairĪ natural hair dye, the indigo powder can be used to replace artificial hair dyes. Once the glucose is absorbed by bacteria, Indoxyl (white indigo) is released, which further oxidizes into a rich blue dye. The dye is prepared by soaking the leaves in water and fermenting it. The compound responsible for the colouring action is called glycoside - a combination of glucose and Indoxyl. ![]() The blue colouring agent is embedded in the nutritional content of indigo leaves. A step-by-step guide to applying indigo hair dye.Here is everything you need to know about indigo powder - how to apply and use it. When applied after a henna hair treatment, the indigo powder can produce a deep black dyeing action while nourishing your tresses for a soft and glossy finish.

It is a test for lateralization in which you have to tap the tuning fork on your palm and then press the butt of the instrument on the top of the patient’s head in the midline and ask the patient where they hear the sound. Generally, 256 Hz or 512 Hz is used for performing Weber Test. It helps to detect unilateral conductive hearing loss and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Weber test is a quick screening test for hearing. There is reduced volume transmitted by the bones of the skull to the other ear. Bone conduction allows the vibration sound to be transmitted to the inner ear.Air conduction uses the apparatus of the ear to amplify and direct the sound.This test is conducted by placing a tuning fork on the mastoid bone: In the conductive hearing loss, bone conduction is better than air or BC > AC, a negative Rinne, and the patient will report that they do not hear the fork once it is moved. Therefore, AC > BC which is how it is reported clinically for a normal or positive Rinne result. As a result, it can be determined if the cause is sensorineural or conductive.Ī normal or positive Rinne test is when sound is still heard when the tuning fork is moved to air near the ear (air conduction or AC), indicating that AC is equal or greater than (bone conduction or BC). It is combined with the patient’s perceived hearing loss. These tests can be done in the office, and are easy to perform.Īlso called as Rhinne Test by some people, is used in cases of unilateral hearing loss and establishes which ear has the greater bone conduction. Therefore, these tests guide the doctor in further examination and investigation of the treatment process. They help in determining the difference between sensorineural and conductive hearing loss. Malfunction of the ear canal, outer canal, or middle earĭifference Between Rinne and Weber, if we compare the Rinne test is performed first. ![]() There are many causes of conductive hearing loss such as. It can also occur in combination with a sensorineural hearing loss( mixed hearing loss).
![]() ![]() Reactionary politics considers this question and explains it in a way that is politically and rhetorically "common sense" to many people. That is at the heart of the discussion, "what is it exactly that allows for people to be cruel?". The problem is that LibSocs have a hard time with coming up with theories of cruelty, or at least with coming up with ways in which cruelty can be an adaptive behavior that people can exhibit. You can still have overpopulation and plenty of food, especially when artificial scarcity and natural scarcity reinforce each other. The distinction between overpopulation being a social problem and a biological problem of evolutionary mis-matching is quite blurred. Urban congestion, caloric instability among the working class and poor, the evolutionary advantages for offspring to be more fit when raised around access to more resources still proves Malthus right, in many regards. Nothing about social relations being unequal and barbaric implies that they are necessarily false, or that Socialism is inevitable. Cruelty can be an advantageous behavior that allows for some people to acquire vast amounts of food stuffs or whatever other surpluses from society by amassing armies, and killing and raping anyone that would oppose them. In a sort of sense, Malthus is still correct. ![]() Yet, even with it being the cause of Capitalism, we are still hard pressed to come up with a way in which this observation proves that Malthus is wrong. If that's the case, why hasn't everyone been fed on the planet earth yet? Because of Capitalism? Well no shit. In terms of food, for example, we could feed 150% of all humans. What exactly do you mean by overpopulation. People have been able to manipulate and use technology to produce surpluses of food stuffs for their cities for the past 5-10,000 years, yet all of the sudden because Murray Bookchin writes a book Malthus is wrong? I don't buy it lol Not everything comes down to food, in that way. I have no idea why LibSocs like to think that the "we haz food" argument somehow has implications upon Malthusian premises of overpopulation. It can get lonely, but I feel that loneliness is a small price to pay to avoid the filth of humanity. I like to spend time reading my Kindle, riding my bike on trails, watching Netflix, or browsing Reddit. Where I live (Australia) there are legal and regulated brothels, so I usually visit once a month, but I haven't been in the last two months, so I feel that is good because it is not cheap (about $220 per hour). I'm quite happy just grooming myself and doing my own thing eg I am getting into cycling, and I have even started to buy fashionable clothes and to groom myself (eg get nicer haircuts and clothes). I see chaos, vulgarity and evil all around me and I am keen to just get away from it. I see myself as in a similar position to the beautiful ones. But the repulsion I feel towards humanity is many times stronger than any desire I have for human intimacy, and everywhere I look, everyone I see around me, I see nothing but greed, vanity and destructive, cruel and callous behaviour. We evolved to be social and to seek connection to others. In my opinion, the beautiful ones are the result of a fallen society, which causes a rise in misanthropy. It is no surprise that few care anymore and wish for human population decline. From political corruption to the callousness of humanity to deal with environmental problems all the way to sex trafficking as well as slavery, factory farming, racism, sexism, etc, the evidence against humanity is overwhelming. ![]() The workplace and the internet has pushed everyone closer and allowed us all to see human corruption and depravity in remarkable detail. The experiment suggests that as there is overpopulation, as people get closer to each other, they descend into madness, and I believe this is a result of realisation that your fellow man is corrupt and depraved, and as such you don't care anymore about society because you know deep down that it is corrupt. In my opinion, what we are seeing in society today mirrors the mouse utopia experiments. They simply retreated to be by themselves and spent their days grooming themselves, which ensured they were free from scars or injuries hence the name "the beautiful ones." Another feature emerged, which was that a class of mice emerged known as "the beautiful ones" who were mice who did not engage in courtship or fighting. As expected, population exploded initially, but over time population began to decline and aggressive behaviour emerged eg mothers would eat their babies. There is a famous experiment called the "mouse utopia experiment" whereby mice were put into a space with infinite food and zero predators. ![]() ![]() Needless to say we’ll be keeping a close eye on the sequel.

The Talos Principle 2 is a thought-provoking first-person puzzle experience that greatly expands on the first game's philosophical themes and stunning environments with increasingly mind-bending challenges.

The original’s puzzles were great from what I played, featuring a laser-reflecting, turret-dodging, and some timey-wimey stuff.
