Now is the time to SUPPORT CVNC.org
Even in an Opera Carolina production with merely eight solo vocalists in the cast, it was easy enough to see what makes grand opera so grand. Most of the musicians on Charlotte Symphony's payroll were in the orchestra pit when we entered Belk Theater, tuning up or rehearsing. The program booklets handed to us at the door had the size and stylishness of a glossy fashion magazine, and when the curtain rose on Giacomo Puccini's Tosca, we saw the interior of a Roman cathedral, the first of Adolph Hohenstein's three diverse set designs. By the end of the opening act, the stage was filled with clergy, a cardinal, and a throng of Opera Carolina choristers, all celebrating a mistaken report of a royalist victory over Napoleon's invading army.
All of these blandishments – and extras – spell out expensive in big, bold capital letters. So it was particularly disappointing to see the Belk's uppermost balcony completely empty and so many unclaimed seats below. If Hohenstein's name rings a bell, we can multiply our disappointment, because he designed the sets, the costumes, the props, and the poster art for the original Milanese production of Tosca in January 1900. We can thank the New York City Opera for this meticulous recreation of Hohenstein's handiwork – by heading out to the Belk Theater and seeing it.
Opera Carolina lighting designer Michael Baumgarten certainly helps to capture the melodramatic spirit of Puccini's deft adaptation of Victorien Sardou's La Tosca, written for Sarah Bernhardt in 1887. But perhaps disheartened by all those empty seats, the opening night performance didn't attain its full potboiler heat until late in Act 1 when baritone Steven Condy entered as Baron Scarpia, the cruel, lascivious, and unscrupulous chief of Rome's city police. Until then, soprano Alyson Cambridge as opera diva Floria Tosca and tenor John Viscardi as principled painter Mario Cavaradossi hadn't belittled the love, intrigue, jealousy, and playfulness of their relationship. Not at all. But against the backdrop of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, tempestuously conducted by OpCar artistic director James Meena from the opening bars onwards, both sounded somewhat underpowered, though they were clearly gifted as actors.
Chasing after former Roman Republic consul Cesare Angelotti, who has escaped from prison and has already been secreted into hiding by Cavaradossi, Condy as Scarpia quickly injected menace and urgency into the drama. Then he cunningly worked on Tosca's unfounded jealousy to freshen the trail to her paramour's hideout before the curtain fell. In his tense confrontation with Tosca, Condy seemed to kindle some of the spark we would see unceasingly from Cambridge in the two acts that followed.
Stage director James Marvel takes full advantage of his principals' gifts as the intricacies of Sardou's plot come brutally to fruition in Act 2. Tosca has led Scarpia's spies to Cavaradossi's hideout, and soon the painter will be in custody while Angelotti has once again escaped. Scarpia dispatches his prisoner to a torture chamber adjoining his lavish apartment, hoping to extract information about Angelotti's whereabouts. He and his thugs cannot break Cavaradossi, but they don't have to. Tosca is with him, ruefully aware that her jealousy was baseless, and able to hear her beloved's outcries as Scarpia's men inflict their torture. Where the fiend has failed with Cavaradossi, he succeeds with Tosca, breaking her twice. In exchange for stopping the torture, Tosca gives up Angelotti, and to barter for Cavaradossi's freedom, the price will be Tosca's virtue.
Beyond having doubted her true love's fidelity, there was so much more for Tosca to regret now. In singing the famous "Vissi d'arte" aria before nodding her consent to Scarpia, Cambridge drew upon all the additional anguish Puccini had written for her. All of the art she had lived for, all of her passionate love, all her charitable deeds, and all her fervent prayers have been for naught in the face of this perverted monster. God has shortchanged her. With all the grim delight that Condy took in tormenting her in their crackling duets, it certainly seemed so. But Marvel was no less cold-blooded in staging "Tosca's kiss," where the diva settles all her debts with the Baron and appends a chilling religious ceremony.
Courageous and bloodied in his brief appearances, Viscardi's energy jumped nearly as much as Cambridge's after the first intermission, but he didn't reach his zenith until he staggered onto the rooftop battlements of the Sant'Angelo Castle in the pre-dawn light of Act 3, sentenced to face a firing squad. Maybe not quite as electrifying as Cambridge's signature aria, Viscardi filled Cavaradossi's "E lucevan le stelle" with sweet lyrical despair that soared upwards into the dawn appointed for his death. Alone for an extended conspiratorial duet, when both lovers grew joyous at the prospect of their coming bliss, Cambridge and Viscardi poignantly lit up the stage one last time before fate cruelly closed its fist on them. Stunning – and grand.
This performance repeats on Saturday, October 15, and Sunday, October 16. See our sidebar for details.

Abortion, a christians view.
Extracts from this document...
Christians believe that life according to biblical teachings is sacred and that it is a gift from God. Therefore it is seen that life should be valued and preserved. This is known as the Sanctity of Life. As well as this, Christians believe that God has created humans and so everything that happens must be for a reason and that it is all part of his plan for salvation. This means that only God has the right to decide when a human life should start and end. Therefore humans cannot decide to take the life of another human, only God can do this. Christians place all their beliefs in the teachings of the Bible and the 10 Commandments, here the sixth commandment states, "You shall not murder"1 (Exodus 20.13) this applies to all stages of the pregnancy. Abortion is defined as 'The termination of the life of a foetus.... with help from outside'. This is to determine the difference between a natural abortion (miscarriage) and a procured abortion, which is one that is actively sought by the mother for whatever reason. However, there are some Christians who believe the Bible says nothing about abortions. In one sense this is true. There is no direct teaching that says 'You shall/shall not allow a woman to have an abortion' despite the fact that abortions did happen in biblical times. There is though, one passage in the Bible that seems to touch specifically on the issue of abortion: "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. ...read more.
Would women, who are in this position, find it plausible to 'give up' there child for adoption? Would it not be better and more compassionate, causing less emotional damage to the mother, to allow her to have an abortion before a 'maternal bond' has developed. Furthermore, in some Catholic counties, such as Ireland, where abortion is illegal, this can lead to more pain and suffering. In Ireland there are, according to the Guardian (23rd September, 1996) over 30,000 women who come to the U.K each year to have an abortion.14 Moreover, by banning abortions this can lead to an increase in 'Back Street Abortions.' This is where abortions are carried out in unclean and unsafe medical conditions. Thus increasing the pain and suffering, so are the Catholic teachings practical, realistic and safe? The Protestant Church is reluctant to take such a hard line as Catholics do in the abortion debate. It accepts that there are certain situations when abortion is an unavoidable consequence of deciding between the 'lesser of two evils' (E.G., Accepting that a woman who becomes pregnant after being raped might want an abortion). Thus they generally advocate a form of Situation Ethics. The Methodist Conference, 1976, declared that abortion is always an evil. However, single mothers should always be supported and encouraged to have their baby adopted if they choose not to keep it. The church recognizes that there are cases where abortion is the lesser of two evils: where the foetus is severely handicapped, the pregnancy is a result of r**e or the health, either mentally or physically, of the mother is at risk. ...read more.
Like Christian beliefs, if the mother is a victim of r**e or of incest, abortion is acceptable in the first 120 days of the pregnancy. "I believe that the value of life is the same whether this embryo is the result of fornication with relatives or non-relatives or valid marriage. In Sharia life has the same value in all cases."24 (Sheikh M. A. Al-Salami, Third Symposium on Medical Jurisprudence) Islam does not permit abortion where an unwanted pregnancy is the result of unforced adultery. It also forbids the termination of a pregnancy after the soul or 'Ruh' is given to the foetus, the main problem with this is when the soul is created. There are three main opinions; at 120 days, at 40 days or when there is voluntary movement of the foetus.25 1 Exodus 20:13, The Holy Bible New International Version 2 Exodus, 21:22-25, Old Testament, Bible: Hodder and Stoughton 3 Jeremiah, 1.5, The Holy Bible New International Version 4 Matthew, 7.12, 5 Genesis, 1.26, 6 Oxford Revision Guides, AS & A Level, Religious Studies: Philosophy & Ethics; Greg Dewar 7 Ethical Theory, Second Edition: Mel Thompson 8 www.request.org.uk 9 Oxford Revision Guides, AS & A Level, Religious Studies: Philosophy & Ethics; Greg Dewar 10 www.request.org.uk 11 www.thegoodnews.co.uk 12 Oxford Revision Guides, AS & A Level, Religious Studies: Philosophy & Ethics; Greg Dewar 13 Mother Teresa in Interview in 1983 14 The Guardian 23rd September, 1996 15 www.umc.org 16 www.cmf.org.uk 17 Matthew, 5, 18 www.jamaat.org 19 www.bbc.co.uk 20 The Qur'an, Chapter 5, Verse 32 21 The Qur'an, Chapter 17, Verse 31 22 The Qur'an, Chapter 17, Verse 32 23 Los Angeles Times, December 29, 2000 24 Sheikh M.

Officials say penny sales tax is critical for school buildings
S everal Lake County School Board members said Monday it would be catastrophic for voters not to renew the penny sales tax, leaving the school district unable to refurbish or rebuild schools.
"If we were to lose that $10 million a year in income stream, major capital projects projected in the future would have to be delayed, or we would have to go into our capital funds, which support teacher pay and general operations," School Board member Bill Mathias said in a phone interview." It would be devastating."
Lake County commissioners agreed March 31 to let voters decide whether to renew the expiring penny sales tax in November.
The one-cent sales tax for infrastructure generated $34.8 million last year. That money was divided equally between the cities, county and school district. The 14 cities then divided their allocation proportionately.
The tax is earmarked for capital projects, such as road work, construction of buildings and the purchase of public safety vehicles.
The revenue, however, cannot be used for operational costs.
School Board members voted Monday to approve an interlocal agreement between the cities, county and school district to divide the proceeds from the tax equally between all parties.
However, the board asked that a clause be taken out of the agreement that would prohibit the school district from receiving the sales tax money if it asked voters at a later date for an additional half cent for school needs.
"I would not want to restrict future boards because this is a tax for 15 years," said Mathias. "It is the only revenue source we have outside of state funding."
Superintendent Susan Moxley also expressed concern about the clause.
"To have that limitation on the School Board and no other entities is concerning to me," she said.
School Board member Marc Dodd agreed.
"I think it would be difficult to bind the hands of any board not knowing what other factors beyond their control would be present," he said.
Lake County Commissioner Jimmy Conner said he could understand the School Board's opposition to that restriction.
"I am not sure the School Board would do that unless it was a last resort," he said. "For now, we all have to focus on the current referendum."
School officials say many schools need to be modernized or rebuilt, such as Clermont Elementary School, Beverly Shores Elementary School, Cypress Ridge Elementary, Oak Park Middle School and Treadway Elementary.
School Board member Stephanie Luke said the district faces a "doomsday scenario" if the penny sales tax is not renewed.
"It is a critical component of our budget," she said in a phone interview.
Dodd noted that Lake County is one of the lowest funded in the state, exacerbating the problem if the infrastructure sales tax is not renewed.
The School Board also has no way of making up the funding in other ways if it does not pass, Dodd added in a phone interview.
"The School Board is limited and does not have any tax-levying powers," he said. "All of our funding is controlled by other parties."
School Board member Rosanne Brandeburg said if the tax is not passed, there will be tough decisions to make.
"We will be in dire straits," she said. "When we have a roof that needs to be replaced, we won't be able to, or we are going to take dollars that would have gone into the classroom."
The school district has lost more than $67 million in capital property tax revenue in the past five years because the stagnant economy has kept property values low, and the Florida Legislature has cut the maximum allowable millage for capital purposes from 2 mills to 1.5 mills.
"Without the penny sales tax, it is impossible to fund capital needs for the school system unless electorate passed a different funding source," said Harry Fix, the district's growth management director.
Funding for the district's capital needs to come from three sources: the 1.5 mills maximum allowable millage, impact fees and the penny sales tax, Fix said.
Even if the penny is renewed, Fix said, it will not cover all the needs of the district.
"The impact fees need to be raised to 100 percent, or we are going to be scrambling for resources to keep up with growth," he said.
Lake County commissioners voted in December 2014 to raise school impact fees to $7,719 per new single-family home, which is 75 percent of the maximum.

People claimed on October 28 that Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have broken up after months of keeping their relationship relatively hidden. Malik issued a statement amid Gigi and Zayn's breakup, on Thursday in response to a TMZ claim that Gigi's mother Yolanda was considering filing a police case against him for assaulting her, according to anonymous sources. Yolanda's "false allegations" that he struck her were "adamantly" rejected by Malik, who stated:
"I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private."
The question now is, what was the cause of the breakup?
After nearly six years together, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have broken up, and it happened after the incident with Gigi's mother, Yolanda Hadid. According to ET, the couple separated and have been working together cordially to find out how to co-parent their child. For both of them, this is the most important thing. According to the source, Yolanda was frequently popping up uninvited and unannounced, which caused some stress between them, which Zayn attempted to handle with his partner but one thing led to another and now we are here listening to their split news.
How fans are reacting?
The breakup of Zayn and Gigi drew different emotions from their admirers. Some people had given up on finding love, some were unconcerned with another of the couple's breakups, and yet others were openly criticizing Gigi's mother for wrecking such a lovely family. Fans of Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik were shocked to learn that the couple had broken up after Zayn allegedly assaulted Gigi's mother, Yolanda Hadid. At least for young Muslims who have been vocal advocates of Gigi and Zayn's love, the breakup has caused more pain than anything else.
Some Muslims have excessively indulged in their devotion to "Zigi" over the years; evidently, fans are unhappy with their breakup and want them to patch things up as soon as possible because they don't want to lose their favorite duo.
The Couple's Response
In response to the increasing social media backlash, the artist issued a statement refuting Yolanda's allegations. He recommended her to reconsider her false accusations and work out family issues privately. Zayn refused to comment, claiming concerns for the privacy of his and Gigi's 13-month-old daughter, Khai.
Yolanda has remained silent on the claims.
Gigi, on the other hand, has asked for privacy and has expressed a desire to remain silent. According to reports, she is just concerned about Khai and will only do what is best for the child. She hasn't unfollowed Zayn Malik on social media, though. She had previously expressed her support for Malik on numerous occasions.
Is it fair to expect them to reunite?
We believe Because of recent events, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik's breakup could be final this time. According to rumors, Gigi's family has stopped following Zayn Malik on social media, including her sister Bella Hadid, brother Anwar Hadid, and sister-in-law Dua Lipa. Zayn's family, on the other side, has unfollowed Gigi Hadid's family. However, let us still hope for the best!

texas tech swim team
I have been a part of many tech swim teams at my college and am now attending a tech swim team in Austin, TX. I was very excited to be a part of this team last year and look forward to another great team this year.
The team is led by Matt Smith and they've got some really good swimmers lined up. I'm not sure how much of the team is actually swimming, but the most exciting swimmer is Austin, who is also the fastest swimmer on the team. Austin is the third fastest swimmer in the country, but has had more serious injuries to his legs than anyone else on the team. He and Matt Smith are very close friends, so it makes sense that they'd team up.
Austin is an amazing talent. He swims faster than anyone on the Texas Tech team. He's probably the fastest swimmer on the team, in fact. I've never seen anyone swim faster than him, and that's saying a lot. Austin also has a history of getting hurt, but he has a lot of talent and has a way to go before he starts to slow down.
Austin is a bit of a wild card because he never seems to be the smartest member of the team. He tends to overanalyze his situations and gets lost in the details. He also seems to be a little too soft for his own good, which is probably why he's been so much of a distraction for T Tech.
It might just be me, but I feel like this team is the "other one" most of the time. Thats because they have to be fast to keep up with the rest of the pack, and they are always in each others way. In order to become a big swimmer, they have to be a bit of a freakin' bully. Austin was the one who got him into swim lessons and then kicked him out because he kept asking for more.
The tech team has to swim fast and not piss off the rest of the team. This is made even more difficult when you're swimming in the deep end, which is where Austin's team usually lands the big ones. It's a good thing that Austin hasn't found his way into the deep end for a long time, too.
We got to see a bit of the game as well. The team is the most elite and powerful group of swimmers in the game. The tech team is the most elite and powerful group of techs. We saw how their training has been going, how they are each capable of winning a race against another, and how they have all seen each other make huge strides in the game.
Austin is very much a character that can be played out as a villain. His self-esteem is low and he is very much the type to take himself out for a team event. But he has an extremely positive attitude about everything. Which is good considering his past, as it shows that he has always been a kind of rebel. In the trailer, we also get to see that he has his own pool of his own, where he swims in.
There's something of a plot thread to this game, which is to say that it is a little too far into the future for our liking. In the past, Austin was a very good swimmer, but he wasn't as good as his teammates. The reason he's in this game is because of all the improvements that he's made in the pool. It makes sense. A good swimmer can win a race, because they have to make huge leaps in their technical skills.

This was originally written for The British Fantasy Society.
A town besieged by frightening subterranean creatures for reasons not fully understood. Players' characters may be forced into action on behalf of the townsfolk, as well as to save their skin against a powerful, yet bizarre eldritch foe. This is no small feat, as a recent expedition underground uncovered ancient horrors, a threat that now seeks to push its way out from the depths. Do the players have what it takes to succeed in Conan: Shining Kingdoms – The Dwellers Below, a new release from publisher Modiphius.
This module offers a surprisingly large amount of content. It's longer than a one-shot, but there are quite a few NPCs, creatures, and lore packed into this adventure. The challenge level is a bit high, but that's not an issue. Not everything needs, or should be an introductory-level quest.
What's more, this quest introduces great lore that can be reused in other sessions. The "slime god" is fantastic, and offers very interesting possibilities, as does the populated underground network of catacombs. The worldbuilding of this module is top-notch, especially for anyone that wants to dive back into the content, but doesn't want to run the module again.
Dwellers Below can be split into an above-ground section and a below-ground section. Together they offer a robust challenge, but the village component felt kind of longish. The result is something that doesn't necessarily fit cleanly into a single session but isn't long enough to be a full campaign.
Is there a reason to make it such a point to fight to protect the town when the action is underground? There's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, but it could have been two one-shots. The final product is decent but ended up feeling a bit needlessly drawn out.
As a module, Dwellers Below offers a quality mission that can be dropped into almost any campaign. It's a bit awkward because of its length, but there's a lot in it. If a table has a group of PCs looking for a winnable, but difficult mission, this fits the bill.

(WatchDogReport.org) – When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Dr. Anthony Fauci was a trusted voice in America. He stood in the White House Briefing Room with former President Donald Trump every day and explained what was happening in the country. As the head of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, he is the top infectious disease doctor in America and he was taken seriously.
Then, the trust the American people, Conservatives in particular, had in Fauci started to slip. The doctor seemed to always be saying things that contradicted Trump. It was almost as if he wanted to keep the country locked down. Soon, the 45th president also grew annoyed with him. By the time Trump left office, Fauci was barely in the spotlight. But, as soon as President Joe Biden took office, the doctor was back on cable news networks, writing a book and telling citizens of the country what to do.
Most recently, Fauci was especially rude when he spoke out about vaccinations.
Get Over It
On July 7, Fauci appeared on MSNBC to speak with host Chris Hayes. The television personality asked the doctor what he thought people should be doing to encourage vaccinations. He responded, "Whatever it takes."
Fauci went on to say that he was trying to "save lives," and that is why he wants people to receive the vaccine. He attacked some Conservatives who are upset about President Joe Biden's door-to-door vaccine campaign. Republicans think it is government overreach. They have said they do not need officials knocking on their doors and bothering them at home. The doctor said people in their communities will be knocking, not the government (still strangers knocking on doors).
Then, Fauci said people who are worried about the vaccines need to just "get over it." He said they need to get over the "political statement" they are making by not receiving the vaccine. In his opinion, those people need to do what they can to save themselves and their families.
The Condescending Doctor
What's ironic about the statement from Fauci is that he is the one making the issue political. Trump is the person responsible for developing the vaccine. He has said that he received it. Clearly, the vaccine is not political. The doctor is making an assumption that Conservatives are just refusing the vaccine because they are partisan. That's a huge assumption to make and, frankly, it isn't Fauci's business what they are doing. It isn't Biden's business either.
The American people will do what is right for their families. They don't need the government harassing them into submission.

For a long time now we have recognised that most of us working in health and care systems know what is right and good and we try extremely hard to do the right thing for every person every day.
We don't plan to harm patients and families, or make our colleagues working lives harder than they already are. At AQuA we realised early on that health and care staff already know a lot about the best practice, the best evidence and the best advice to deliver support and care. What was and is still missing from the world of safety is that we don't understand is why we aren't able to do the right thing every time for everyone.
This led us to focus on human factors, psychological safety, culture and leadership for safety as the essential underpinning structures for safety improvement. Of course we share new ideas, learning and great examples of clinical and service safety improvements and alongside we also have been working hard to understand the challenges that cause these tensions between how we want to work and how we have to work.
Our exposure and training on appreciative approaches, safety II thinking and learning from what goes well has encouraged us to support safety improvement with a positive and supportive approach, asking how do we replicate success and share this so others can too. We don't in anyway underestimate the impact of harm on patients, families and staff across our systems and we are 100% committed to working to see safer services with demonstrable and replicable results for everyone.

Steven Pressley has dismissed widespread rumours that Coventry City captain Carl Baker is a target for Championship club Nottingham Forest.
The Sky Blues skipper has been the subject of speculation on various social media outlets but the manager insists that the 30-year-old midfielder is going nowhere.
"There's absolutely nothing in that," said Pressley of the multi-winning Player of the Year.
"I think that's just people speculating. I have not received any offers for any of my players and Carl is a pivotal part of what I want to create here.
"He's my captain who was a key player last year and who is a key player in my plans going forward so there is no intention at all to sell Carl.
"I'll be honest with you, I'm excited about the new season. There are a number of issues and situations that need to be resolved but we need to keep focused on the positives in the football department, and there are many positives.
"It's the dawn of a new season and hopefully a new period in the club's history."

Digital Image
1080px x 720px
This work is a manifesto for my approach to digital image-making. The photo was made with a laptop camera, physically moving the device through space, in the fields of California outside the famous Sea Ranch architectural project. This is an argument for the digital image as an act of mark-making. I am interested in disrupting the notion that photo-making is a static act; instead, it is a dynamic, full-body experience akin to moving pen across paper or brush across canvas.
This image also represents the through-line of 'compressionism' in my work—the idea that digital imaging technology, in its inadequacies and errors, can sometimes offer us impressions of reality that bring us closer to beauty and truth than images of high fidelity.

Bella Hadid gets playful when it comes to her post-meal belly. As her pregnant sister Gigi Hadid came closer and closer to her due date, the 23-year-old model shared through her social media account a throwback photo of them showing off midsections, joking to her followers that she too has a bun in the oven.
The daughter of Yolanda Hadid posted the Instagram picture on Tuesday, September 15. In it, she and her older sister could be seen posing side-by-side in what appears to be their family's Pennsylvania farm. "june 11, 2020 … two buns in the oven except mine is from my burger and gigi's is from @zayn, i love you both so freaking much -can'tstopcrying," she wrote in accompaniment of the snap.
Bella's post prompted Gigi herself to send three grinning face and an angle emojis as a response. A number of celebrities also chimed in with Gisele Bundchen raving, "Aww nothing like sisters love!" Lenny Kravitz, meanwhile, jokingly teased, "@bellahadid No that's aunt Sandy's brownies :)," and author Eva Chen enthused, "OMG I was like Yessss I get to babysit two babies but then read caption and a burger baby doesn't count."
As for Gigi, the 25-year-old offered a pregnancy update in August. Celebrating her first pregnancy, she uploaded a series of gorgeous maternity shoots on Instagram. The first one, captioned "growin an angel :)", captured her cradling her baby bump while resting on her knees, while two others saw her showing off her curves in sheer dress with a simple note that read, "7.26.20."
In a third post released on the same day, Gigi expressed gratitude for the support she was given since she announced her pregnancy. "cherishing this time," she wrote. "appreciate all the love & well wishes, will never forget creating these special images with my friends @luigiandiango @gabriellak_j @erinparsonsmakeup thank you. I love you!"
Rumors that Gigi was expecting a baby with boyfriend Zayn Malik surfaced at the end of April. She later confirmed the happy news during an appearance at "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." She at the time stated, "Obviously, we wish we could have announced it on our own terms. We're very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support."

Anime art is a form of popular animation that typically features vibrant, colorful characters and settings. In order to create anime art, you'll need to have some basic skills in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Here are some tips for turning pictures into anime art: Start by sketching out your character's outline using basic shapes and lines. Use the proportions provided as a guide, but be creative and freeform with your lines. Next, start adding in details like eyes, facial features, and clothing. Be sure to use bright colors and exaggerated proportions to give your artwork a cartoon-like look. Finally, add in lighting and background elements to complete the look of your piece. Use complementary colors to achieve a more visually appealing finished product.
Turning A Picture Into Anime Art
There are a few tips for Turn Picture Into Anime Drawing that can help you create your own unique pieces. Use layers to create depth and detail in your artwork. By adding multiple layers of photos, you can create intricate backgrounds and characters that stand out from the rest. This also allows you to change or edit aspects of the photo without having to start from scratch. Add text and symbols to individual elements in your picture to give it a more anime feel. Fonts, manga drawings, and other icons can be used to add personality and flair to your artwork.
Use color sparingly, it's better to use a single bright color instead of saturating your artwork with too many shades. This will make it easier to distinguish between different elements in your image, and it will look more vibrant as a result. Use symmetry and balance in your artwork to create an attractive effect. Placing symmetrical elements next to one another will create a sense of order and stability in your picture, while using contrasting colors or shapes will add visual interest.

News release from the Indiana AFL-CIO:
Indiana State AFL-CIO president reacts to House approval of Common Construction Wage law repeal
INDIANAPOLIS (February 23, 2015) – Following the Indiana House of Representative's approval today of House Bill 1019, which repeals the state's long standing and highly effective Common Construction Wage law, Indiana State AFL-CIO President Brett Voorhies issued the following statement:
"With today's vote in the House of Representatives, the Republican supermajority has attacked the wages of working Hoosiers, a successful private sector business model and the autonomy of local governments. For decades the common construction wage has created a level playing field for contractors bidding on public projects, ensured skilled, local workers were hired and compensated appropriately and delivered world-class projects on time and on budget. In less than a week, following just one committee hearing, the representatives who supported House Bill 1019 have put this all at risk.
We will continue to work with our coalition of locally elected officials from both parties, contractors and small business allies that actually do this work and our affiliated unions to stop this reckless attempt at repeal – and hope that this massive policy change is given more debate and deliberation in the State Senate."
The Indiana State AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) is a federation of 800 local unions across the state belonging to 50 International Unions. In total, the Indiana State AFL-CIO represents more than 300,000 working Hoosiers.

For any business undergoing a complete organisational transformation, strong leadership, trust and collaboration is crucial for success.
This was a key focus for distribution management software provider, Iptor, when they resized their business from 700 to 230 employees back in 2016, following the appointment of a new CEO and the decision to transform a 40-year-old struggling business into one with strong revenue growth.
What made their situation even more challenging was that the restructure required a transition from country-specific functions to global ones, a move that further required their remaining staff to deliver more with less.
Ultimately, the company knew that any future success would rely heavily on the skills and behaviours of their leadership team and management, as this was critical for keeping staff motivated and valued, while retaining them as employees.
To achieve their ambitious growth targets, Iptor knew that they desperately needed to establish trust and improve collaboration, both within the individual teams and across the company.
It was at this point they made the decision to implement Saberr.
As an all-in-one Employee Experience Platform, Saberr has been able to help the organisation at each of its different levels, from the Executive team and management, through to the employees.
Prior to implementing Saberr, employee-manager discussions around performance typically only occurred once every six months. Now, all teams across the business are using Saberr to continually discuss ways to improve both individual and team performance.
"Historically, one of our major challenges was having everyone aligned and clear on their own objectives, team objectives and how this related to the company's objectives. Saberr has transformed that with clear team purpose and goals, retrospectives and one-to-ones". Annemie De Smet, HRD
In addition to helping managers across the company align goals to strategies, Saberr has also facilitated more regular two-way feedback between these team leads and their direct reports.
In fact, this improved communication, delivered through regular one-to-ones, has been a key driver in the team regularly receiving outstanding feedback, which has been further demonstrated through individual results.
Managers are also continually learning and developing, thanks to on-the-job training within Saberr. More specifically, the Smart Tips feature within the platform provides them with contextually relevant information, content and even templates.
By combining use of the software with remote expert facilitated sessions, the executive team benefited from a blended learning approach. This specifically enabled them to develop strategic priorities and focuses and establish agreed behaviours and team purpose.
"The ability to integrate expert sessions that dovetail with the Saberr platform that teams could use on the ground has been fantastic. Teams come out of these workshops and can access the tools when and where they need it. This makes it much easier to embed the change we've been talking about."
Since using Saberr, Iptor have seen the performance of their teams improve by 26%. This is largely down to increased collaboration and communication.
What's more, teams across the business have reported being as much as 62% more clear on their shared objectives, with 82% of employees now feeling more comfortable sharing the challenges they're experiencing with their colleagues and managers.
"Seeing some of the most change resistant people embrace a new way of working in teams and one-to-one is driving continual change within Iptor. It's helped us grow faster by executing upon our strategic initiatives and is having a positive impact on our results, but most importantly upon how we provide better solutions and experience for our customers. Saberr has been a critical enabler on this change journey and is a critical part of how we now work". Jayne Archbold, CEO
