I added a little green shadow on my waterline and packed on a mint green glitter shadow all over my lids for a fairy-like finish. When I felt like there was enough on my lids, I blended out the shadow with a deep brown and brought the color above my crease to create a slight gradient. I started off by priming my lids with a white base before packing on a bright green eyeshadow. So I attempted to coat my lids in money green like Kat. Kat is the rebel of the cast and her makeup is basically a middle finger to anything deemed “glam makeup.” Glam isn’t always soft pinks and browns: it can also be a sharp, thick winged liner, a deep red lipstick with a darker liner, or my favorite Kat look-glittery green eyelids. But my makeup spirit animal is easily Kat. There’s Jules, who plays a lot with vibrant eyeshadows and liners Maddy’s always covered in rhinestones and Rue really, really loves glitter. "The characters in my latest obsession Euphoria are unhinged, fearless, and hella dramatic-and their makeup looks are no different. Finish with strip lashes by House of Lashes.Secure with clear brow gel or Aerogel hairspray. Keep your brows free from any heavy filling, and brush them straight up.I like to keep a peachy nude lip with Maddy’s blinged-out eyes, but experiment with darker nudes and lip liners. ![]()

All of the pro skateboarders from the first two games have returned for the remaster, appearing as their current age the "Digital Deluxe Edition" offers 1980s-skins for some skaters. The game features 21 professional skateboarders, as well as three original characters. ![]() The game offers a progression system which allows players to complete specific challenges to reach a higher level and unlock new items in the game's store. The game includes both local split screen and online multiplayer. The player can create their own skater and skate park with the Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park modes. It is possible to set the controls back to only featuring maneuvers possible in the original games. Įven though the game is a remaster of only the first two entries, Pro Skater 1 + 2 features tricks introduced in later games up to Tony Hawk's Underground such as reverts, spine transfers, wall plants, as well as the abilities to perform enhanced tricks such as double flips and to switch between certain trick types such as grinds, lips and manuals in one sequence. Bails (falling off the skateboard due to poor landing) attain no points for the attempted trick sequence and reset the special bar to empty. Successful tricks add to the player's special meter, which, once full, allows for the execution of special tricks which are worth a great deal more than normal tricks. The point value of the trick is based on time maintained, degrees rotated, number of tricks performed in sequence, performing tricks on specific landmarks on the map, and the number of times the tricks have been used. To score points, the player has to successfully perform and combine aerials, flips, grinds, lips, and manuals, with successful executions adding to the player's score.

After you drizzle some oil over the meat, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and then cook the chicken for 45 to 50 minutes. When it comes to chicken thighs and drumsticks, I found Nigel Slater's recipe to work best. This way, you won't have to roll the dice with your food. Stick the thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken breast and when the temperature touches 160 or 170 F, pull it out. The best thing to do would be to invest in a cooking thermometer. They won't take more than 15 to 20 minutes in the oven. Chicken breasts are devoid of fat and to make sure they don't run out of moisture you either need to wrap them in foil, marinate them with a layer of sauce or cook them in liquid. You may have one which is really effective and doesn't need to be heated as high as the recipe suggests or you may have one for which the temperature needs to be higher than the one mentioned. A lot depends on the kind of oven you have. This is the most crucial step in cooking baked chicken. will take more time to cook but pull out the breast as soon as it changes colour from pink to white. If you're cooking chicken breast, make sure you flatten them so that all of them cook in time.Ħ. Make sure you tuck it in so that the chicken is covered from all sides.Ĥ. ![]() Another way to get moist chicken is by covering it with a parchment paper. This is why it's crucial that you oil your chicken well before pushing it into the oven.ģ. ![]() In an oven, chicken is exposed to dry heat which means it's stripped of all its juices. After you wash the chicken, pat it dry before you season or oil it.Ģ. We promise that by the time you run through them you would have nailed how to get juicy and tender chicken every time | Tricks for the Best Baked Chicken:ġ. It's unusual to brine chicken as it's mostly done with turkey but it's a sure shot way of getting real moist chicken. BBRRR stands for brine, brush, rub, roast and rest. While looking up the best ways to cook chicken in an oven, we came across Ali's B.B.R.R.R method which she's shared on her blog Gimme Some Oven. (Also See: How to Make the Ultimate Baked Potato) How to Cook Baked Chicken: The Perfect Method | Tips To Cook Perfect Baked Chicken Now, we're going to take you through a couple of basics: how to cook chicken in an oven, how much of it depends on the temperature, how to get the skin real crisp and 10 mind-blowing recipes to try at home. Yes, they're both cooked in an oven but baked chicken is when you cook parts of the chicken while roast chicken is cooking of the whole bird. While searching for good recipes, don't confuse baked chicken with roast chicken because they're not the same. You know you have baked your chicken perfectly, when you find it swimming in a bed of its own juices. The breast is more problematic than other parts as it dries up much quicker. So if you don't understand how to work your oven, you could end up with dry meat. In the oven, the chicken is exposed to dry heat which sucks all the moisture right out of it. You don't want to end up with dry, tough and flaky chicken, do you? Cooking chicken in the oven requires a little practice. Not because it is one of the healthiest ways of cooking your favourite protein, allowing you to marry chicken with any ingredient you like, but because it's one of those methods where your oven will do all the work while you sit back and relax.

I liked it, and if this really is the final film in the franchise (yeah right!) it's a great ending.Halloween is all about creativity and imagination. The Forever Purge probably isn't the most fun (that still goes to Anarchy), but it is the most interesting. ![]() The Purge films have never been great cinema, but at their best they've at least been fun or interesting. Seeing this apocalyptic state of America burning to the ground is as interesting as it is eerie. The reluctant crew escaping the purge is an interesting band, and the premise of the Ever After Purge is interesting. Yeah there's a fair share of "racism is bad, we went there!" stuff, but the more subtle moments are pretty great.Īs far as the overall narrative and flow of the film, it's one of the best in the franchise. Whether or not you agree with what they're saying may alter your opinion, but to me it never felt particularly preachy and in some cases asked questions and raised points that were worthwhile. I'm not saying that as a bad thing per se, I actually liked the commentary it had. You thought Election Year had commentary? Good lord, build a wall round this film because it's overflowing. ![]() And here we are, the most action-oriented and politically driven film yet. The Purge movies have been fascinating to watch going from low rent horror to action films with a heavy political edge. Rating: R (Strong/Bloody Violence|Language Throughout) On the morning after The Purge, a masked gang of killers attacks the Tucker family-including Dylan’s wife (Cassidy Freeman, HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones), and his sister (Leven Rambin, The Hunger Games), forcing both families to band together and fight back as the country spirals into chaos and the United States begins to disintegrate around them. Juan impresses the Tucker patriarch, Caleb (Will Patton, Halloween), but that fuels the jealous anger of Caleb’s son, Dylan (Josh Lucas, Ford v Ferrari). Adela (Ana de la Reguera, Cowboys & Aliens) and her husband Juan (Tenoch Huerta, Days of Grace) live in Texas, where Juan is working as a ranch hand for the wealthy Tucker family. ![]() It was reported that funds raised by sales of the single were in excess of $300,000.

She came in the next day and sang her off. At the concert, she was booed for the controversy. It turned out that she and Peter Gabriel were friends and she already knew the song. I'd heard about the controversy with the Pope, but I'd never heard her sing. At the rehearsal for the Dylan tribute show in New York, Don suggested Sinead. There was another lady, Dolly Parton, who was supposed to do that part, but she ended up being unavailable. In an interview with Los Angeles Times, Nelson talked about the duet and how it was made. O'Connor sings Kate Bush's parts in the song. The single is included on Nelson's Across the Borderline studio album, produced by Don Was, Paul Simon, and Roy Halee. ![]() The song was covered as a duet between American musician Willie Nelson and Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor in 1993.

In a 2014 interview, Elton John attributed his sobriety to the song, in particular the lyric from Bush, "Rest your head. However, Parton turned it down, so his friend Kate Bush took her place. Gabriel originally wrote the song from a reference point of American roots music and he approached country singer Dolly Parton to sing it with him. The verses, sung by Gabriel, describe the man's feelings of isolation, loneliness and despair the choruses, sung by Bush, offer words of hope and encouragement. He composed lyrics about a man whose unemployment causes stress in his domestic relationship. He felt that a song based on this was wholly appropriate to difficult economic conditions in England under the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. Gabriel saw Lange's images in a book titled In This Proud Land (1973). The song was inspired by the Depression-era photographs of Dorothea Lange, showing poverty-stricken Americans in Dust Bowl conditions. In 1987, the song won Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. During i/o The Tour in 2023, Gabriel performed the song live with cellist/pianist/singer Ayanna Witter-Johnson. An all-orchestral recording featuring Ane Brun was released on Gabriel's ninth studio album New Blood (2011). The DVD release of a performance in Italy in 1993 (released in 1994) included the duet. The song was included in Gabriel's Secret World Live tour featuring singer Paula Cole. It spent eleven weeks in the UK Top 75 chart in 1986, peaking at number nine. The single version was released as the second single from the album in the UK in 1986 and as the fifth single in the US in 1987. " Don't Give Up" is a song written by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel and recorded as a duet with Kate Bush for Gabriel's fifth solo studio album So (1986). Ramsay continued his search for these gases using the method of fractional distillation to separate liquid air into several components. In 1902, having accepted the evidence for the elements helium and argon, Dmitri Mendeleev included these noble gases as group 0 in his arrangement of the elements, which would later become the periodic table. During his search for argon, Ramsay also managed to isolate helium for the first time while heating cleveite, a mineral. With this discovery, they realized an entire class of gases was missing from the periodic table. Along with Scottish scientist William Ramsay at University College, London, Lord Rayleigh theorized that the nitrogen extracted from air was mixed with another gas, leading to an experiment that successfully isolated a new element, argon, from the Greek word ἀργός ( argós, "idle" or "lazy"). A century later, in 1895, Lord Rayleigh discovered that samples of nitrogen from the air were of a different density than nitrogen resulting from chemical reactions. Before them, in 1784, the English chemist and physicist Henry Cavendish had discovered that air contains a small proportion of a substance less reactive than nitrogen. ![]() ![]() No chemical analysis was possible at the time, but helium was later found to be a noble gas. Pierre Janssen and Joseph Norman Lockyer had discovered a new element on 18 August 1868 while looking at the chromosphere of the Sun, and named it helium after the Greek word for the Sun, ἥλιος ( hḗlios). Helium was first detected in the Sun due to its characteristic spectral lines. Rare gases is another term that was used, but this is also inaccurate because argon forms a fairly considerable part (0.94% by volume, 1.3% by mass) of the Earth's atmosphere due to decay of radioactive potassium-40. The noble gases have also been referred to as inert gases, but this label is deprecated as many noble gas compounds are now known. The name makes an analogy to the term " noble metals", which also have low reactivity. Noble gas is translated from the German noun Edelgas, first used in 1898 by Hugo Erdmann to indicate their extremely low level of reactivity. After the risks caused by the flammability of hydrogen became apparent in the Hindenburg disaster, it was replaced with helium in blimps and balloons. A helium-oxygen breathing gas is often used by deep-sea divers at depths of seawater over 55 m (180 ft). Noble gases have several important applications in industries such as lighting, welding, and space exploration. Helium is sourced from natural gas fields that have high concentrations of helium in the natural gas, using cryogenic gas separation techniques, and radon is usually isolated from the radioactive decay of dissolved radium, thorium, or uranium compounds. Neon, argon, krypton, and xenon are obtained from air in an air separation unit using the methods of liquefaction of gases and fractional distillation. The melting and boiling points for a given noble gas are close together, differing by less than 10 ☌ (18 ☏) that is, they are liquids over only a small temperature range. ![]() The properties of the noble gases can be well explained by modern theories of atomic structure: Their outer shell of valence electrons is considered to be "full", giving them little tendency to participate in chemical reactions, and it has been possible to prepare only a few hundred noble gas compounds. For example, argon is used in incandescent lamps to prevent the hot tungsten filament from oxidizing also, helium is used in breathing gas by deep-sea divers to prevent oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide toxicity. The inertness of noble gases makes them very suitable in applications where reactions are not wanted. Noble gases are typically highly unreactive except when under particular extreme conditions. Because of the extremely short 0.7 ms half-life of its only known isotope, its chemistry has not yet been investigated.įor the first six periods of the periodic table, the noble gases are exactly the members of group 18. Although IUPAC has used the term "noble gas" interchangeably with "group 18" and thus included oganesson, it may not be significantly chemically noble and is predicted to break the trend and be reactive due to relativistic effects. Oganesson (Og) is a synthetically produced highly radioactive element. The six naturally occurring noble gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and the radioactive radon (Rn). The noble gases (historically also the inert gases sometimes referred to as aerogens ) make up a class of chemical elements with similar properties under standard conditions, they are all odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity. ![]() Performance will vary based on system configuration, network configuration, network connection, and other factors.
