![]() ![]() Metasequoia was likely deciduous by this time. During the Paleocene and Eocene, extensive forests of Metasequoia occurred as far north as Strathcona Fiord on Ellesmere Island and sites on Axel Heiberg Island (northern Canada) at around 80° N latitude. Fossils are known from the Cenomanian onwards. Metasequoia redwood fossils are known from many areas in the Northern Hemisphere more than 20 fossil species have been named (some were even identified as the genus Sequoia), but are considered as just three species, M. foxii, M. milleri, and M. occidentalis. Sequoioideae and several other genera have been transferred from the former family Taxodiaceae to Cupressaceae based on DNA analysis. M. glyptostroboides is the only living species in its genus, but three fossil species are known. Together with Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood) and Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia) of California, Metasequoia is classified in the Cupressaceae subfamily Sequoioideae. Since its rediscovery in 1944, the dawn redwood has become a popular ornamental, with examples found in various parks in a variety of countries. Local villagers refer to the original tree from which most others derive as Shuǐshān (水杉), or "water fir", which is part of a local shrine. ![]() Although the shortest of the redwoods, it grows to at least 165 feet (50 meters) in height. The living species Metasequoia glyptostroboides is native to Lichuan county in Hubei province, China. Metasequoia, or dawn redwoods, is a genus of fast-growing deciduous trees, one of three species of conifers known as redwoods. ![]()

![]() ![]() Fitz knew that when she called him by his first name she was angry. Just then she could hear Fitz calling Tom and Hal. I sat down on the couch in the Oval Office. "We're going to get photographed walking on to the plane, together and our baby is getting more obvious" "So what are we going to do?" I dont know what the fuck youre going to do, but you need to do it soon. Convince Janet that publishing Making a swift turn she said, "I'm going home.okand right now I just want to be left completelyalone." I remember Chris telling me years ago about an art #fanfiction Following the events of episode 7.02 except this Olivia does something about Mellie's loneliness and frustration. We pulled up at the nearest road and I ran up to the security gate. #olitz The President of the United States or her good friend Jake Ballard? She is lucky to even be alive. Olivia Pope, smart and wicked on a bicycle, is learning to deal with her best friend's death. "Greatjust fucking great," Olivia got up the get lysol and paper towels to clean it up. President Olivia Pope is here to see you," Hal said. When we got to his apartment his computer was missing along with an usb drive that stored top secret government information. No more work But, I called Liv three months straight! ""You've said that before, I got my hopes up and you didn't. The subject of this love? Olivia's hair was a mess, like she hadn't brushed it in a couple days. We walked onto the private jet hand in hand and before getting on we waved and Fitz kissed my cheek, loads of lights blinded us as cameras flashed and massive television cameras were dotted around on the patch of grass behind the White House. #dramatic Olivia didnt want jake to help her inside her home so he left. "See this is what you do to me Livvy," Fitz said biting his lips. olivia precisava de um tempo sozinha pra conseguir digerir tudo o que sentia e tentar esquecer a mellie. She didn't even bother to say anything but rather walked towards the door as she saw Fitz getting up. No one heard what happened to her or what caused it. And honestly, sometimes I wondered if she was too damaged to ever have a shot. A powerful queen, a king with wandering eyes, a Lady caught in between, and a palace full of secrets. I pinched the phone between my ear and shoulder as I poured myself a glass of wine. The train station was busy on a Saturday afternoon, and she assumed most of the people were weekend tourists visiting the city. When do you want to go to the studio? I asked Chris. It looked really modern, like it was renovated. "We are going to release that we're in fact dating and expecting a baby" "But, but we've spent days trying to erase all evidence." Pope. ", "Jake-" Fitz couldn't say anything because of all the people around. There has only been one situation that has left her unsure. I didnt want to have sex with Mama in the President, the press conference. ![]() Don't worry Senator and Mrs Fletcher, we will try and find your son. She opened the cabnet in her apartment and grabbed some red wine and left over popcorn. Can they find a way to be together without it being a Scandal? Now I wish I hadn't cut it, because it was right on the money. I know Joshua Wells and he is one fine ass man. "Olivia Pope will be your new First Lady!" She opened her mouth a bit so he could slip his tongue inside. I couldnt help but feel as if I was the other woman. I was going through my emails and noticed something from Tony that caught my eye. ? She went on and on as she continued to moan. What started as a little make out session, I dont want you bringing that shit to my moms house Liv. We continued walking to the conference room where the senator and his wife sat along with my other colleges. #scandal She didn't want to swallow it so she spit it all in the sink. I clenched my jaw after I finished my little rant. Trying to apologize, Ive sent flowers, went to her office & that bitch ass nigga Carson wouldnt let me in. Wait, is it mine?" He's clenching his jaws and putting his hands in his pockets preventing from doing anything he shouldn't be doing. I waited until he had walked to the cockpit before coming out, I quickly shoved the positive pregnancy test and the wrapper into my Prada handbag and sat down back in my seat. ![]() "Fine I'll get a taxi" I left, I knew they thought it was a bad idea going to the place where we have been trying to erase me from but Fitz needed to know it was his baby after all.

They are tiny-waisted and fashionable, and her parents are robotic but still porn-star hot, something a toaster might masturbate to. Thirty years later, Barbie’s Dreamhouse Adventures (2018-2020) is my older daughter’s favorite show, because the dialogue is zippy and computer-generated Malibu is a place you want to be (if you’re a Republican who likes bright colors, which most children are.)īarbie and her friends solve problems! For example, they once found their way out of an escape room that they’d paid to enter, so that was impressive. When I was little I loved the plastic world of 1980s unreconstructed materialistic Barbie, I ran my fingers over her pink car and her smooth boobs, chaste but still somehow full of an awesome milk. Cut to Jiminy Cricket singing: “When you wish on luxuryyyy, there’s no telling who you’ll beeeee.” I’ve reached out from the predictability of my life and pulled in a piece of fabric from the capricious classes, the callous classes, the drunk, the fun, the mean, the libertine classes- the princesses. ![]() I’ve planted a plot point, I’ve put an exotic bulb in the vegetable garden. On the day I wear them, something will happen. Change: the pants promised a change, and even though they cost a stupid amount of money I was scared to walk away from them because everything would be the same, and known, and I want an unknown in my future. I play dress-up at home in these pants that are made in Italy and are cut so beautifully that they change the whole way I move. But I put these pants on in the fitting room and they made me look like my name was Vanessica and I kissed different people every night. Here’s a sad fairytale: One recent bleak winter’s day I bought a pair of comically expensive pants, even though the smart math says I should wear sweat-wicking leggings every day til I die. It’s no distant memory, that feeling-I still long for it, and every retailer knows it. They love it, they feel beautiful, and magical, and I remember feeling that way in my grandma’s dress-up box. Instead, I buy them nonstop princess dresses like I’m trying to betrothe them to a Hapsburg. I used to imagine my household of little girls full of gender-neutral things, hammers and burlap and firefighter suits. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are a handful of outrageous moments, for example when Rei trades barbs with a zombified copy of herself, but mostly the story just spins its wheels for a few hours until it finishes in an anticlimax. It's a perfect premise for the B-movie School Girl/Zombie Hunter aspires to be, but developer Tamsoft never allows it to get truly weird. Only together can they hope to survive their encounter with a horde of zombies that seems to be acting under the orders of an unknown intelligence. They include Sayuri, happy and honest Risa, timid and fearful Mayaya, selfish and shallow Enami, stern and calculating and Rei, arrogant and violent. It follows five young women who take up arms against a sea of "zom-zoms" in order to escape school grounds alive. Set in a high school where guns are readily available and zombies shocking only in their abundance, School Girl/Zombie Hunter doesn't take itself seriously. It's a shame, then, that for all its knowing winks and B-movie sensibilities it never manages to produce a well-rounded game. It wears its campy, exploitative heart on its sleeve. School Girl/Zombie Hunter is upfront and honest about its content and its intentions. ![]() If the title wasn't obvious enough, the name Tamsoft should give you a sense of what to expect: fast-paced action, ludicrous storylines, and lots of fan service. With School Girl/Zombie Hunter, conversely, you know exactly what you're getting.

If you have an outer corner that could benefit from a lift in addition to your monolid eye shape, you can also consider the Flick style for elongation and emphasis above the outer pupil and iris. The key to a killer monolid lash look are extensions like a Reverse set that slightly emphasize the outer middle of your eye, above your outer iris, and the middle of your pupil.ĭoll and Open styles will also help create the illusion of a distinct crease by creating the most dramatic all-over lifted effect possible, especially if you have wide-set monolid eyes. Now, as we said before, you either have a minuscule crease or none whatsoever. Talk to your technician about these lash extension styles that will bring all the attention to your gorgeous eyes. Lash extensions are made to enhance what is already there, so do just that. Now that you have figured out what your exact eye shape is, you can start putting on lashes that best suit it. What Is the Best Lash Look for My Specific Eye Shape? 80% of people have almond eye shapes and it is the most balanced of all the eye shapes. Another key detail about almond eyes is that those outermost corners slightly turn upward. There has to be an evident crease in your eyelid, and your iris has to touch white on the top and the bottom. Focus on your iris, but also the crease of your eye. The almond eye shape is the trickiest to determine because it is based on a combination of everything we discussed already. If that outer corner is now above the imaginary line, you have upturned eyes. In order to find out if you have upturned eyes, take that same imaginary line and do the opposite. If the outer corner is below that imaginary line, you definitely have downturned eyes. If you are still feeling iffy about whether or not you have the downturned eye shape, there is another fast and easy way to determine whether or not you have downturned eyes. If you take a look at the outermost corner of your eye and see that it is lower than the inner corner of the eye, then you have the downturned eye shape! With hooded eyes, skin hangs over the crease, which makes the upper eyelid appear smaller than it actually is. However, there is one main difference: unlike the monolid eye shape, hooded eyes actually have a crease. The monolid eye shape and the hooded eye shape are very similar. Those with the monolid eye shape cannot see the crease of their eyelid, even when the eye is open all the way. Is there a crease in it? If you answered no to this question, then you have the monolid eye shape! One sure way of knowing this is your eye shape is whether or not you have much (if any) of a crease where your eyelid meets your eyebrow. If you are looking straight ahead in the mirror, and see any white at the top or bottom of the iris, then chances are you have round eyes! Round eyes are usually almost as tall as they are wide and round-eyed clients look very “alert” at all times. ![]() You will know you have round eyes when you can see white below the iris. The easiest and most accurate way to determine if you have round eyes is based on the colored part of the eye, AKA the iris. Do you think you know the different eye shapes? Let’s find out! Round There are unique characteristics to each and every eye shape that help us find out what kind of shape we have and what lash style will suit the client best. Start by identifying your own eye shape so you can better help clients determine theirs. Staring in the mirror for about five minutes is all you need to do in order to determine your eye shape. There are six different kinds of eye shapes : round, monolid, hooded, downturned, upturned, and almond. This also helps us identify any accessories, styling techniques, and mapping we might need to get the job done correctly and balance each person's unique features. That way, we can choose the proper types of lashes to use on them. Īs lash professionals, it’s important that we’re able to identify the eye shapes our clients have. Chances are you just don’t know what kind of eye shape you have. Have you ever tried to do a smokey eye and felt a little raccoon-like? Or what about when you try to use a different eyeliner technique that you’re not used to?

On Thursday Musk said that the "radical interest rate changes" have increased the prices of all cars, new and used, and that Tesla potentially could lower pricing to sustain volume growth, which would result in lower profit. "That would reduce demand for new Teslas." "You can't sell your current Tesla for more money than you paid for it, which was true for a lot of the past two years," said Karl Brauer, executive analyst at car sales website.

Now fuel prices are easing, interest rates are rising, Tesla output is increasing, and EV competition is growing, leading used Tesla prices to fall faster than the market, and creating a cascading effect on prices of new Teslas. And buyers of some new Teslas took advantage of the booming market to sell their relatively new cars for a profit, then order new ones, driving demand for Tesla's new cars. Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) itself raised prices faster than prices for other cars, building its profit margins. Rising gasoline prices, an effect of the Ukraine war, boosted demand for Teslas, one of few long-range electric vehicles in the market. The used Teslas were in dealer inventory for 50 days on average in November, compared with 38 days for all used cars. The overall used car market posted a 4% drop during that period, according to Edmunds data. The average price for a used Tesla in November was $55,754, down 17% from a July peak of $67,297. Prices of used Teslas are falling faster than those of other carmakers and the clean-energy status symbols are languishing in dealer lots longer, industry data provided to Reuters showed.
