I tend to build mine high above the ground so I can have a large, flat surface to work with. Just curious what everyone else does.
The EBRD European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is accelerating its support for the #digital transition of #tradefinance by facilitating three test #lettersofcredit on the #digitaltrade finance network Contour.network.
The trial took place with QNB Group Alahli Bank, one of Egypt’s largest commercial banks, acting as issuing bank and the CargoX Platform used for electronic presentation of documents.
The process of issuing and confirming letters of credit often involves large volumes of paper-based documentation, generating high administrative costs, inefficiencies and barriers to financing.

Hi I’m wondering if it’s worth getting the light/medium Charlotte tilbury Hollywood contour wand or just wait for the dark one to come back into stock. I’m really not sure which one to go for I have pretty medium skin but the person in the store today said she recommends the darker one to everyone and the light is 2 light?
Just wondering so I can grab the lighter one just incase it goes out of stock
Classics is (at least in what we call "the West") the study of ancient Rome and Greece - namely, their languages, literatures, and laws. Even with its many subdisciplines, the boundaries of the field of study are rather well-defined - especially compared to other humanities. But I don't imagine this is what's best for the field, and I think some critical reflection on what exactly we mean by Classics - what kinds and categories of knowledge count in the discipline - would do good by not just classicists, but by the academy broadly.
Look at the description of this very sub: "a subreddit for people interested in learning more about the Latin and Ancient Greek languages and the cultures of the ancient world". There's a tension there, isn't there? In the first place, we have a quite nicely, tightly defined line of inquiry - you're "interested in learning more about Latin and...Greek" - but on the other: "the cultures of the ancient world". We are of course talking about the ancient Mediterranean, and we might even be able to get more specific and say the ancient eastern Mediterranean, but...
...the Phoenicians were a Levantine people. They spread Phoenician and Punic - either of which, Semitic languages - throughout the whole of the Mediterranean basin.
Much of Greek philosophy comes from Anatolia and the rest of the present-day Near East and North Africa. Plato likely encountered more Egyptian than he did Latin.
The Hellenistic kingdoms spread acrossed Mesopotamia and the Indus River Valley, but you won't find Aramaic in a Classics department.
I understand Greek and Latin were the linguae francae of, well, the Greco-Roman world, but to ignore the languages and cultures that also existed in these spaces at these times is nothing shy of erasure. Classics, as a discipline, has been criticized for upholding structures of white supremacy. Its fixation on the imperial languages and knowledge structures of a diverse, transcontinental region has likely played no small part in this. Some well-renowned programs, like that at Princeton, have experimented with dropping language requirements --- but I don't think this is the right direction. Rather, I think we should explode whatever kinds of knowledge it is - linguistic or otherwise - you might find in a Classics department.
I must admit: while I'm no stranger to antiquity, I am not a classicist; I am a literary critic of the modern variety. I work mostly with 20th-century texts. But English departments have ne

In contrast to a low bump and run where you have more variables - the green will influence the roll of the ball and you’re basically doing a long putt at that point.
The only scenario I can see where a low chip might be better would be landing on a big slope - a high shot might not stop on the slope so a low chip could give you better distance control.
Am I thinking about this right or am I missing something?
Absolute beginner here, I’m a photographer and have been playing around with projecting art designed around the subjects face, onto their face. I was thinking how great it would be if I could collage multiple different video loops to the facial structure. For instance from the hairline to the brow line would be one video, either cheek would be 2 separate videos etc… is there any straight forward way to do this? I know video can be cropped into geometric shapes, but is there a way to crop to the contour of a reference image underneath? Thanks in advance
