In Which a Zebra Unicorn Is Creepier Than Anticipated!

This year's Halloween costume involved less preparation than usual. I'll be honest, I'm still recovering from the year I dressed up as a library. My goal this year was something creative yet simple to assemble.

I glitter-striped a unicorn horn and made myself some ears...


Then attached them to a Cruella deVil style black-and-white wig.


I figured a zebra unicorn wears something sparkly and striped, right?


Nothing odd about this dress... *cough*


And this is when things got intense. The plan all along was to study the way stripes sit on a zebra's face, then paint that pattern on my own face to create something magical. But it turned out SO CREEPY!


 Creepy's okay with me, though.

При помощи Popcorn приложения могут быть запущены на одном хосте, после чего без остановки работы перемещены на другой хост. В многопоточных программах допускается миграция на другие хосты отдельных потоков.

Ассоциация кинокомпаний добилась блокировки Popcorn Time на GitHub

GitHub заблокировал репозиторий открытого проекта Popcorn Time после поступления жалобы от Ассоциации кинокомпаний (MPA, Motion Picture Association, Inc.), которая представляет интересы крупнейших телевизионных студий США и обладает эксклюзивными правами на показ многих фильмов и телешоу. Для блокировки было использовано заявление о нарушении действующего в США Закона об авторском праве в цифровую эпоху (DMCA). Программа Popcorn Time предоставляет удобный интерфейс для поиска и просмотра видео в потоковом режиме, размещённого в различных BitTorrent-сетях, не дожидаясь его полной загрузки на компьютер (по сути это открытый BitTorrent-клиент со встроенным мультимедийным проигрывателем).

Taapsee Pannu reveals she is enjoying her stay at home, keeps sitting at her favourite corners

For many of us, this lock-down is turning out to be the longest break we've ever taken, from going out, or going anywhere for that matter. And for actors, it is a break with no 'work from home' which they are spending with family and loved ones. Taapsee Pannu is also making the most of it in her Mumbai house, along with sister Shagun Pannu.

Speaking to a leading daily, Taapsee opened up on how actors work so hard to have a house of their own but would barely have any time to spend there as they were always traveling for work. She added that she was reveling in her uninterrupted free time and would just sit at her favourite corners of the house.

Several cities including Mumbai and Taapsee's hometown Delhi, where her parents live, come under the red zone. However, the actor says she is relieved that her parents do not live around the hotspot zones, since they both are above 60 years in age and needed to be careful. She went on to add that her parents, one retired and another a house wife, did not go out much and hence weren't very severely affected by the lock-down.

Taapsee will be next seen in Akshay Kumar starrer Rashmi Rocket and Aanand L Rai's Haseen Dillruba.

Corn

Corn prices plunged to their lowest levels in more than a decade, amid coronavirus-related weakness in demand in the ethanol sector. American ethanol plants, which usually account for nearly 40% of US corn usage, are closing, amid record low prices for the biofuel. On the supply side, the US Agriculture Department forecast a corn plantation of 96.990 million acres, the biggest corn acreage in eight years. Historically, Corn reached an all time high of 843.75 in August of 2012. Corn Futures are available for Trading in The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT® ) which was established in 1848 and is a leading futures and futures-options exchange. More than 3,600 CBOT member/stockholders trade 50 different futures and options products at the CBOT by open auction and electronically.
