happn is an interesting geolocation app. It works by tracking your GPS as you go about your day. The app then shows you who you crossed paths with over the course of your average day. It also keeps a counter of how many times you pass that person over longer periods of time. Like most, you can express interest which is hidden unless it is reciprocated. When mutual attraction happens, you'll be allowed to chat. The app does let people pay to skirt the rules a bit. However, it is a fun little way to see if you bump into anyone over the course of your day and strike up some conversation.
In the modern-day society work is one thing you can't avoid. Try looking at the world as it is today. Some executives are cooped up in the office all day, and the entrepreneurs are always looking for something to innovate. There are the busy schedules and the crazy hours and as good as they are for your bottom line, they leave little room for socializing. If you are the kind of person who is in the market for a little mingling here are six hookup and sex apps you should consider if you haven't already:
However, HER is so much more than a hookup app, and doesn't even put on the pressure to find a romantic partner. While it can be used for coupling up, it focuses much more on the LGBTQI+ community in general. Your profile is more similar to a Facebook profile, and your feed is filled with things like local LGBTQI+ events, LGBTQI+ news in the media, new lesbian films or TV shows that mainstream Twitter will probably ignore, and tons more — all posted by women who you can talk to if something sparks you interest. See our other picks for the best dating sites for lesbians here and sign up for HER for free here.
If you're not sure if this casual dating app is for you, there's some good news. Feeld has a trial period that lets you experience the service before you even pay a dime. There are also group chats where you can 'meet' potential partners as you explore the app. If all you're looking for is security as you meet potential partners online, Feeld suits you because it allows you to simply secure your account with a PIN, or hide from your Facebook friends by going incognito. Your hook-up dates don't have to be with someone in your local area either. Instead, enjoy this app because you can link up with anyone from anywhere. One other feature about this app that you will absolutely love about Feeld is that it has no ads!
One main difference between Match and most of the other sites we've listed (other than AdultFriendFinder maybe) is that Match sees a way more diverse age range. Sure, there are a ton of young people on Match who are probably on Tinder as well, but Match also attracts significantly more older, more mature (and probably more experienced in bed) users. If you're at an age where you feel nothing but creepy on Tinder, Match is a perfect alternative. You'll obviously have to fill out some survey questions about your likes and dislikes, so this isn't the place for impatient people. However, it would be a good idea to let the public know exactly the type of relationship you're looking for in your bio, just to make sure it doesn't get awkward if someone wants a second date. Don't worry, it's less serious than eharmony and gives you much more freedom to clown around — we'd just suggest that you at least be open to the idea of a serious relationship after a hookup if you're gonna be on Match. You have to test drive the car before you buy it, right? (Douchey, but true.)
What Sucks: The app is currently only live in Manhattan and Brooklyn at the moment. It is not dedicated to setting you up with someone to hookup and is more of a dating app. You will have to specify what you are looking for in your bio to avoid any sort of confusion.  It is only available on iOS devices right now and not available on Android and Windows phones.
One of the main differences between iHookup and the numerous other sites used for hookups is that your feed won't make you feel like you've been violated. Members actually post pictures of their faces (instead of their nether regions) and put effort into their profiles. It's a really nice change of pace for people who are in the mood, but not so in the mood that they need porn shoved in their face. (It's still X-rated though, don't you worry — you'll realize that when you're bombarded by gross ads.)
What Sucks: It is only available for free on iOS devices as of now and Android and Windows users won't be able to use it. It has a lot of people on it which means that there is always a possibility of an awkward encounter with someone you know. The advanced features this app offers require a subscription, but the subscription costs are a bit high with $38.99 for 3 months, $59.99 for 6 months and $89.99 for 12 months. Apparently, the app has a lot of bogus profiles even though when you actually create a profile, you have to wait to get it approved since it checks whether the profile follows the terms and conditions. The app is said to crash occasionally and runs a bit slow once in a while.
A niche app with a wide user base (over 13 million and counting), BeNaughty has both a wide audience and the right audience for finding a partner who's down for an easy night of fun. Not to mention, you can maximize your chances of finding a match who's free thanks to the app's mass messaging system, which allows you to send out the same message to multiple members at once every 12 hours. The app functions with the same swipe left/right capabilities as a standard dating app, but also allows users to find potential matches via forums and group chats rather than swiping through matches one by one, further increasing your odds of finding what you're looking for.
Of course, you'll want to be using the right dating app to get the job done. Luckily, you're looking for a casual encounter at a time when new apps and features are constantly evolving to help you find exactly what it is you're looking for. Not sure which apps to start with? We've put together a list of some of the best dating apps for hooking up, as well as our advice on how to use them to your advantage to get lucky tonight.

Rather than being thrown into an endless pool of profiles, EliteSingles lets you pick out exactly what you're looking for. You'll be given a limited number of matches curated for you using 29 extremely detailed, professional-level algorithms based on the popular Five Factor Personality Test. They'll even show you your own results in comparison to those of potential matches to see how you stack up. Like eharmony, the stuff to fill out is pretty lengthy, which can be a bit annoying if all you're looking for is a hookup. But sometimes hookups can turn into relationships — hey, it happens! — so at least it'll be nice to know that you're shacking up with someone who shares your interests.
What Sucks: Match requests only last for 24 hours and after that, it expires. So you have to make your move fast or you will miss your chance. You only get access to a just enough information based on which you will have to make your move. If you are a heterosexual guy who is looking to find dates in the app, you will have to wait for a woman to actually initiate something with you to get a chance to even try something.
If you are currently not looking for a serious relationship, there is nothing better for arranging a one night stand than one of the many hookup sites available right now online. The only question is which site to pick for your needs, and that's the question we are prepared to answer. With our reviews and tips, your journey through the hookup websites will be smooth, effective, and safe!
As for how to approach potential hookup partners you've matched with, transparency and manners are important, as always. "The key to initiating a hookup over a dating app is to exercise patience," says Caleb Hacke, health and wellness expert at Maple Holistics. "Ultimately, it's more important to make sure you don't offend or put off anyone who isn't interested in a hookup than it is to get your point across as boldly and as quickly as possible."
Before there were dating apps, there was OkCupid. What started as a traditional online dating site you could only access on your computer has evolved into an app equipped with traditional swiping and messaging functions you'd come to expect in a dating app. It's also coupled with a more robust written profile that allows users to state things such as interests, what they can't live without and what a typical Friday night looks like to give potential matches a better feel of the person they're chatting with. What makes the dating app especially great for finding hookups is the search functionality, hands down. While apps like Tinder and Bumble only allow you to filter by location and age, OkCupid lets you search using keywords found on profiles. In other words, you can see who's looking for something casual, or type in phrases like "not looking for anything serious." If you're kinky, you can also sort matches using your fetish of choice, all while keeping your location and age parameters intact. This is one of the app store's most popular dating apps for a reason.
If you're in the LGBT+ community, then you've almost certainly already heard of Grindr, which is the largest dating/hookup app of its kind, and a pioneer in the field. Creating an account takes no time at all, and then you're connected to single people near and far. You can interact with people by sending either text or audio messages, and if you like the way the interaction is going, you can even share your locations to facilitate a quick and easy hookup.
What's Good: It brings dating, friend with benefits, and hooking up into a single platform. Since women make the first move, the ladies have some amount of control over who gets to talk with them and can thus avoid harassment and stalking to some degree. The user interface of this app is clean and attractive. If you are not a heterosexual person, then you can initiate the moves and the 'women make first move' constraint doesn't apply there. All the profiles are short with just enough information to get you going and a code of conduct and respect is maintained on the app.
Eventbrite is a local events app. It helps you find things to do that are in your general area. You can also do things like buy tickets or otherwise RVSP to events you want to go to. It also comes with Android Pay support, Android Wear support, and comes with tons of information. This is a great way to see events near you. It also helps that going out and doing things helps you meet new people. Being at an event you both enjoy is an excellent ice breaker that can lead to fun activities later. It's not a bad way to get out of the house, meet some people, and if you're lucky, it can start a good path to getting laid.

Q: Multiple Azure App Function in a project I'm currently developing a small game that will rely on a lot Azure App Functions to execute function from time to time. I followed a tutorial on MSDN (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-develop-vs#configure-the-project-for-local-development) explaining that I had to create a new project to host a function but so far, I already have 6 different functions and I don't really want to create 6 different projects.
Moreover, all these functions (developed in JavaScript) have a lot of code in common so I created a common JavaScript file with some helper function. Now that I have multiple projects, I can't use it anymore without copy/pasting it in all projects.
Finally, to be able to correctly develop the game, all the functions must be running in parallel on my development machine and I don't really want to open 6 (or more in the future) powershell instances to host these functions.
Is there a way to host multiple functions in the same project and deploy them easily on Azure ?

A: That's what Function Apps are for. Each Function App may contain multiple Functions, which will be deployed together.
You mention Javascript, but the linked tutorial is in C#. Regardless, you can put multiple functions into the same app: subfolders under the same root (where host.json file is), or static methods in the same C# project. Each function will have a separate function.json file. All functions can share the same code.

Long overdue it is our pleasure to announce the final version MapStruct 1.3. This is our 3rd release since november 2015.
For more details checkout the individual release announcements for the Beta1 and Beta2 releases.
First and foremost we have delivered the ability to cope with immutable beans via the builder pattern. There are many frameworks out there for which we added (experimental) support, most notably Immutables, Lombok and Protobuf.
We haven't forgotten the initialization via a constructor, it is high on our list to support it within the next release.
This can now be controlled via NullValuePropertyMappingStrategy.
We also dropped support for Java 6 an 7 in 1.3 and are using Java 8 as a baseline across the MapStruct codebase. This has been long overdue and would enable us to simplify our codebase. It would also allow us to spent our effort on newer features rather than backwards compatible support for Java 6 and 7.
In total 105 have been fixed between the 1.2.0.Final and 1.3.0.Final releases.
Functionality wise many features have been added since the 1.0.0.Final release. Some of these features would have justified major releases, but we chose to be very careful. Bringing out a number of beta releases and release candidates we tried to mitigate risks. Perhaps we are too careful, looking at the issues that are found on the new features and we should be more daring in bringing out minor releases faster.
Development wise, in many ways, we are standing on a crossroad. Our code base has grown and the handling of beans / property mapping has grown complex. It is time to look at restructuring the code in a major fashion if we want to grow in features. Don't let this scare you, the public API exposed by MapStruct will not change. We are only talking about the internal API of the processor. All of our tests are done in such way that they are only using the MapStruct public API. Each test has a mapper for which the compiler is invoked to generate the implementation and we test against that. This tests give us confidence that we can restructure the code and keep everything working as is now. During this refactoring we want to drop some of our deprecated features. The refactored code will most likely lead to a 2.0 version and will be done transparently with the community. In between 1.3 and 2.0 we plan smaller and faster feature / bug fix releases.
We are also going to scrutinise our open issues and close the ones which will not make it into MapStruct. In case we close your issue and you think that it should be a feature or enhancement from MapStruct, then please say so in the issue and we can reconsider.
One other big feature that we would like to see as soon as possible is the possibility to map via constructors. This has been one of the most requested features and we would like to tackle it.
If you have any ideas or are willing to help out with any features feel free to reach to us, we are always looking for new fresh ideas and support from the community.
We are very proud and thankful of our of our growing community. It is really satisfying to see how everyone helps each other in our Gitter Room, on StackOverflow or in our Google group. We currently have 1500+ stars and 50+ contributors on GitHub. More than 16000 people are using our IntelliJ plugin. And don't worry we haven't forgotten about it, a new fresh version with builder and fluent setter support will be released shortly.
and of course seasoned MapStruct hackers hackers Sjaak Derksen, Filip Hrisafov, Christian Bandowski, Gunnar Morling and Andreas Gudian.
Happy coding with MapStruct 1.3!!
Alternatively, you can get ZIP and TAR.GZ distribution bundles - containing all the JARs, documentation etc. - from GitHub.

Ulrich C. Luft and physiology on Nanga Parbat: the winds of war.
George W Rodway
Rodway, George W. Ulrich C. Luft and physiology on Nanga Parbat: the winds of war. High Alt. Med. Biol. 10:89-96, 2009.-Ulrich Cameron Luft (1910-1991) is a significant figure in the annals of high altitude physiology and medicine. He combined a passionate interest in mountaineering with an equally passionate interest in human physiology at a pivotal time in modern history. His involvement in the 1937 and 1938 German Nanga Parbat expeditions as mountaineer and scientist set the stage for his subsequent work in aviation physiology carried out in Germany and then later in America when aerospace medicine was emerging as a specialty. His postwar career as a scientist and educator was equally distinguished by virtue of the large numbers of young scientists he trained and his contributions to aerospace medicine over the course of several decades.

Not sure which sauce you want? This set allows you to try some of each sauce and determine which one you like best! This set includes one of each sauce, a $14 value. Once you determine which sauce is best for you, come back and order a set just for that one or more starter sets!
These sauces are a great compliment to your meat whether you grill it, fry it, smoke it, or bake it. It's great with beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and pretty much anything else meat or not you want some BBQ sauce on!
I really LOVE this sauce! I like to mix the spicy with the regular and it's sooo good! I even use it on meats that are not grilled! It's GREAT tossed on air fryer wings! I've made a couple YouTube videos featuring this sauce! Thanks for a quality, good tasting product PLUS the price or shipping is not bad either!
Thanks for the review and the videos. I really appreciate all your support!
The Sauce Starter Set is a great way to sample two flavors. I love it!!

The three senses of retail
There is much talk about the so-called retail apocalypse, but some retailers are very much bucking the trend through commitment to digitally transforming themselves.
Do retailers really need bricks-and-mortar for people to truly experience shopping? It would appear so. According to a Forbes study, the vast majority of shoppers prefer to see and touch their products before they buy.
So why are so many traditional retailers going out of business? There is a lot of talk about a so-called retail apocalypse, but in reality there are successful retailers around the world. For example, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc recently replaced GE, one of the longest standing members in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
About four years ago, Walgreens Boots Alliance made a firm commitment to digitally transform itself to be agile enough to not only optimise its current business, but also able to rapidly exploit new revenue-generating opportunities. This commitment – to digital transformation and a Dow Jones listing – is unlikely to be a coincidence.
The financial impact of digital transformation can be immense. Research conducted by Forrester, of some of Software AG's customers, has shown a 324% return on investment and a payback in less than 6 months - this is staggering by any measure.
Despite the outliers, bricks-and-mortar retailers are still under a tremendous amount of pressure from online-first competitors, despite their inability to provide touchy-feely customers with a more hands-on experience. The answer to the traditional players' conundrum may lie in partnerships.
There is a blurring of boundaries between the industries taking place, with supermarkets joining up – or competing - with meal kit providers such as Hello Fresh and Blue Apron. For example, Woolworths, is now offering innovative meal kits that customers can pick up and carry home.
Others are offering what is called 'experiential retail' where they create an environment for customers go to learn, play and experience rather than just transact. The Apple Store is a great example of this, but others have also followed this approach. This experiential retail trend is also why are seeing more grocery stores opening cookery schools within their walls, and even restaurants. For example, the Spice & Tea Exchange stores all participate in product and recipe sampling, cooking classes and in-store events.
'Coopetition', a collaboration between business competitors in the hope of mutually beneficial results, is also becoming a retail strategy. Spanning the globe, this trend offers intriguing possibilities. For example, Abercrombie & Fitch are now placing pop-up stores in hotels, Google are investing about $550 million US in Chinese e-commerce powerhouse JD.com to expand in Asian markets and take on rivals including Amazon, and, Kroger and Sobeys are outsourcing their e-commerce grocery sales to Ocado.
Something else that that digital transformation can enable is differentiation. Here in Australia, Catch is one of the most profitable deals and coupons websites. It now also sells its own range of products by directly enlisting merchants on the website, adding pre-paid mobile phones to its long list of products.
Kogan, one of the most well-known e-commerce sites in Australia, started out selling televisions and has now moved into groceries, toiletries and confectionaries online.
What all of these success stories have in common is that retailers are agile and able to exploit new channels and revenue generating opportunities. A few years ago, omni-channel was the new retail opportunity, now we are seeing new offerings including subscription retail and retail ecosystems starting to emerge.
These new models are not yet supported by out-of-the-box software solutions (innovative things never are until they become mainstream) so to compete, and innovate retailers need to ensure their technology framework is flexible. Their approach needs to be able to support an innovation at scale by being able to orchestrate new processes across multiple existing systems, whilst being flexible enough to utilise emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) when appropriate.
Digital transformation means making organisational changes and leveraging new technology to enable business change; it enables you to exploit new business models and revenue generating opportunities.
As analysts Forrester advise: "Digital transformation is not elective surgery. It is the critical response needed to meet rising customer expectations, deliver individualised experiences at scale, and operate at the speed of the market."

Welcome to Day 2 of our Disneyland trip. If you've missed part 1, click here to read that post!
With all the shows we watched on Day 1, we dedicated this day to explore the park. We did however watch one particular show but I'll come to that later.
As we were walking into Disneyland, we saw Mickey and Minnie under a pavilion. We did what anyone would do, we took pictures with them!
We then had lunch at the Starliner Diner located in Tomorrowland. Starliner Diner is a space-themed restaurant that serves American style fast food like fried chicken and burgers. I remember carrying my son and placing my order and when my tray of food was ready, the staff insisted that they bring my food to the table. I thought that was incredibly nice of them and Singapore food outlets should show the same initiative.
Just as we were leaving the restaurant, I spotted Buzz Lightyear walking about! I thought I was excited but my son was screaming his head off. "DADDY LOOK!!!! BUZZ DADDY LOOOOOK!!!!".
In the name of Buzz Lightyear, we took the AstroBlasters ride!
Are you wondering why there aren't any pictures of us doing the adult rides? Well...erm...I don't do rollercoasters, rides that fly you around, up and down. Don't ask why. I just don't!
Moving on...it was pouring when we got out of the Buzz Lightyear AstroBlasters ride.
Being the gentleman that I am, I let my wife collect our stroller in the pouring rain. Hahahaha!
Thankfully, the rain subsided a little after half an hour or so and I got to watch this awesome show. I love love love Lion King so Festival of the Lion King was a must see! And boy was it good. In fact, Festival of the Lion King gets my vote as the best show in Hong Kong Disneyland!!! The props were spectacular and the cast were amazing.
Can you spot the giraffe and elephant?
On the way out from Adventureland, we stumbled upon this!!!
Yup! Finn McMissile from Cars 2!!!
Well with the gloomy weather, we ended our 2nd full-filled day at 7pm. Look out for Day 3 coming your way soon!

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - In a story Oct. 17, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Bob Knight was not chosen for one of the five statues that will be placed inside Assembly Hall. Knight requested that he not be honored that way and the school granted his wish.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Indiana University is putting some of its biggest basketball names in stone.
Bob Knight didn't want his image to go up - and the school complied with his request.
The athletic department announced Tuesday it will add five statues to the remodeled Assembly Hall this week as a tribute to the Hoosiers' five national championships and its tradition-laden program.
Bill and Juanita Beach donated the money for a project that includes five granite monuments representing some of the biggest moments in Indiana history. Installation began Tuesday and is expected to be completed by Saturday's annual Hoosier Hysteria festivities.
Initially, the focus will be on overall accomplishments rather than individuals.
The exception will be the sculpture of Hall of Famer Everett Dean, Indiana's first All-American player and later an iconic coach who became known as the father of Indiana basketball. Otherwise, team achievements win out.
One statue will include images of the late Branch McCracken and the late Bill Garrett, who teamed up to break the Big Ten color barrier in basketball in 1947.
Another includes six players, starters and seniors, from Indiana's 1975-76 national championship title run - the last major college men's team to complete an unbeaten season.
Steve Alford, one of the greatest shooters in school history, and Keith Smart, who made the shot to win the 1987 championship, will be featured on a fourth statue. And Isiah Thomas, who led the Hoosiers to their 1981 title, will be featured on another statue, representing tournament dominance.
More statues are expected to be added to the Bill and Juanita Beach Indiana Basketball Memories Collection. Knight won a school record 659 games and three national championships before he was fired in 2000.

Weight at Rescue: 165 lbs.
Sheila came to live with us after the USDA confiscated her and two white male lions from a local entertainment facility where they had not been cared for properly. Of the three, Sheila was in the worst condition. She had very little muscle coordination and thus, when she walked, her legs would slip out from under her.
Her head had a heavy tilt to the right so holding it upright was a challenge. Even drinking was almost impossible for her as she could not hold her head above the water bucket. She even had a hard time swallowing her food. She was also underweight, filthy and lethargic. She was in such poor condition that the USDA warned us that we would probably have to euthanize her. Four days after she arrived, Sheila was fading fast. She was vomiting, lethargic and laying flat on the ground. We feared that we might lose her but never gave up.
Although the USDA stated Sheila showed signs of Vitamin A deficiency, through our own research we learned that toxoplasmosis has the same symptoms but also includes constant circling, something Sheila did. We immediately started her on clindamycin. Two days later she was walking around; four days later she was eating and swallowing, and after a week she was playing happily. Tests results came back confirming toxoplasmosis and a drastic Vitamin A deficiency. Sheila has made remarkable improvement and shows no ill-effects of either condition. She has regained muscle control, swallows easily and runs and hops like a bunny. She loves toys, especially boxes, and she loves all the love and attention her caregivers willingly give her.
Sheila's rare coloring is the result of a recessive gene called "chinchilla" or "color-inhibitor" and in the wild is only found in the Kruger sub-species and unique to the Timbavati region of South Africa.

Overclockers UK senior technical staff have carried out extensive long term testing to ensure stability, coaster compatibility and handle comfort.
The interior of our new mug features a black glazed sidewall and base which reduces liquid resistance and makes for easy maintenance.
The stylish, non-slip matt finish on the exterior of the mug is an enhancement for this year designed to increase grip and be much more hard wearing than previous designs.
If you are serious about drinking large volumes of beverage, the Official Overclockers UK Extreme Gaming Mug XL should be top of your list.

robot revolution
Amazon promises good human-robot working relationships at first NYC fulfillment center
[Photo: courtesy of Amazon]
By Christopher Zara 1 minute Read
Amazon is coming to Staten Island and it's bringing jobs for humans and robots. The Seattle e-commerce giant said today it will open an 855,000-square-foot fulfillment center in the New York City borough, its first in the state of New York, which it claims will create 2,250 full-time jobs along with "opportunities for employees to engage with advanced robotics." More specifically, Amazon says "employees at the Staten Island fulfillment center will work alongside robotics to pick, pack, and ship customer items such as household essentials, books, and toys."
It's not the first time Amazon has used this language to tout the opening of a new warehouse. It played up the "robotics" angle for recent announcements of fulfillment centers in Michigan, Florida, and Colorado, to name a few. And, of course, full automation–or something close to it–is the end game for Amazon. A report in the Seattle Times last December revealed that 20 of Amazon's fulfillment centers employed 45,000 robots, a 50% increase over the previous holiday season.

A non-ring-like form of the Dam1 complex modulates microtubule dynamics in fission yeast
Qi Gao, Thibault Courtheoux, Yannick Gachet, Sylvie Tournier, Xiangwei He
The Dam1 complex is a kinetochore component that couples chromosomes to the dynamic ends of kinetochore microtubules (kMTs). Work in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has shown that the Dam1 complex forms a 16-unit ring encircling and tracking the tip of a MT in vitro, consistent with its cellular function as a coupler. Dam1 also forms smaller, nonring patches in vitro that track the dynamic ends of MTs. However, the identity of Dam1's functional form in vivo remains unknown. Here we report a comprehensive in vivo characterization of Dam1 in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In addition to their dense localizations on kinetochores and spindle MTs during mitosis, we identify that Dam1 is also localized onto cytoplasmic MTs as discrete spots in interphase, providing the unique opportunity to analyze Dam1 oligomers at the single-particle resolution in live cells. Such analysis shows that each oligomer contains one to five copies of Dam1, and is able to "switch-rail" while moving along MTs, precluding the possibility of a 16-unit encircling structure. Dam1 patches track the plus ends of the shortening, but not the elongating, MTs and retard MT depolymerization. Together with Mal3, the EB1-like MT-interacting protein, cytoplasmic Dam1 plays an important role in maintaining proper cell shape. In mitosis, kinetochore-associated Dam1 appears to facilitate kMT depolymerization. Together, our findings suggest that patches, instead of rings, are the physiologically functional forms of Dam1 in pombe. Our findings help establish the benchmark parameters of the Dam1 coupler and elucidate the mechanism of its functions.

When followed, the principles of animation make motion graphic designs and animations more dynamic and appealing. Top animators have developed these fundamental principles over the years, eventually breaking them down into certain basic principles. In this course, Angie Taylor outlines these key principles and how they can be applied to animation and motion graphic projects in Adobe After Effects.

Policy actions 1 of 6
We aim to make human rights considerations part of the day-to-day business of government. Some examples of how we have done this are below.
In recognition of the right to 'an adequate standard of living, which includes housing' (International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Article 11), and the right to 'respect for private and family life' (European Convention on Human Rights, Article 8), anyone assessed as being homeless is legally entitled to temporary accommodation.
Anyone assessed by local authorities as being homeless unintentionally is entitled to settled accommodation (and possibly to housing support too).
We have developed a person-centred 'housing options' approach, which looks at the range of issues that may help to prevent homelessness. This approach has been promoted through five regional local authority-led hubs across Scotland.
Find out more about our homelessness policy.
We are determined build a new system founded on dignity, respect and human rights. Of particular importance is the principle that 'social security is a human right, essential to the realisation of other human rights'. The Social Security (Scotland) Bill will establish the first social security system in the UK which reflects the United Nations principle that social security systems should 'be established under national law and ensure the right of individuals and organisations to seek, receive and impart information on all social security entitlements in a clear and transparent manner.'
A rights based approach will be at the heart of everything we do; from policy development and service design, all the way through to the delivery of benefits, the way that agency staff are recruited and trained, and the interaction between staff and the people who use the new service. Over 2,400 people with direct experience of the current system have been recruited to co-produce a new and better social security model for Scotland.
Victims and witnesses
The right to a fair trial has been interpreted as extending to the interests of victims and witnesses (European Convention on Human Rights, Article 6).
The Victims and Witnesses (Scotland) Act 2014 introduces measures to improve support for victims and witnesses.
The legislation provides a specific legal framework to enable individuals to recognise their rights and obligations. It also helps Scotland meet its obligations under European Directive 2012/29/EU. This establishes minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime.
The Victims' Code for Scotland sets out victims' rights in one place and aims to improve their experience of the criminal justice system.
Carers policy
In recognition of the rights to 'just and favourable conditions of work', and to the 'highest attainable standard of physical and mental health' (International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Articles 7 and 12) and EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (Article 31)), the Carers (Scotland) Act will ensure better, and more consistent, support for carers and young carers.
The act is designed to support carers' health and wellbeing. Its measures include:
a duty on local authorities to provide support to carers, based on the carer's identified needs that meet the local eligibility criteria (national matters that local authorities must take into account when setting their local eligibility criteria will be set out in regulations)
a specific Adult Carer Support Plan and Young Carer Statement to identify carers' needs and personal outcomes
a requirement for each local authority to have its own information and advice service for carers. This must provide information and advice on emergency and future care planning, advocacy, income maximisation and carers' rights
2014 Commonwealth Games approach to human rights
We were a member of the Organising Committee (OC) for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The OC was responsible for delivering the Games and managing its budget.
The OC produced an Approach to Human Rights policy to ensure that its work and the games themselves respected, supported and promoted human rights.

Partnership agreement to improve skills and careers in East Sussex
WORK to improve skills, careers and training in East Sussex has been given a boost following a new partnership between national and local government.
The County Council has signed an agreement to work closely with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to improve the employment opportunities and skills of local residents.
The new partnership agreement outlines how the council and the DWP will work collaboratively with Skills East Sussex to share information, improve referrals, maximise the use of resources, and strengthen the local skills infrastructure to better support residents and employers.
Agreed areas for partnership working, which aim to improve the prospects for young people and those residents in deprived wards in the county, include developing and promoting the Careers East Sussex web platform, supporting Youth Hubs for young people and working with the council's Employability for Supported and Temporary Accommodation and Refuges (ESTAR) programme to assist some of the county's most vulnerable residents.
The county is also concerned with addressing the needs of its young people and the agreement includes a commitment to preventing those aged 16 to 24 years old becoming NEET (Not in Education Employment or Training) or, if they are unemployed, to help them move swiftly into meaningful work or learning.
Cllr Rupert Simmons, lead member for economy at East Sussex County Council, said: "I am delighted to have signed this Partnership Agreement with the DWP. It's an extremely positive step for our county as we continue our economic recovery from the pandemic and will have real impact on skills and career opportunities across East Sussex.
"I am particularly pleased with the emphasis on improving outcomes for young people and residents in areas of deprivation who may need additional help and support."
Sally Funnell, Service Leader for the Department for Work and Pensions in Surrey and Sussex, said: "We are delighted to sign a Partnership Agreement with East Sussex County Council. The DWP is committed to developing strong and productive partnerships that support local communities.
"This agreement will be the first in place across Surrey and Sussex, and formally sets out how we will work together to improve opportunities for all residents in East Sussex, ensuring that together we are a driving force behind the recovery of the local economy."
The agreement will be reviewed annually, with six-monthly meetings between the council and the DWP to monitor and evaluate progress against agreed targets.

Instead of our usual Dress of the Day column, today we thought we'd bring you a whole lot of dresses of the day. Plus some trousers, shoes, bags and accessories of the day, too. These are all part of the new H&M Conscious Collection, and we have to say, we're pretty darn impressed. Sure, there are a few pieces of coal amongst the diamonds, but we think the good stuff more than makes up for the bad, and for the first time in a long time, we're really excited about a new high street collection. Imagine that!
As you probably know, the H&M Conscious Collection is H&M's attempt to rid themselves of their "fast fashion" image (to some extent, anyway), and make inroads into the world of sustainable fashion, using recycled materials, and organic cotton. We didn't have any doubt that it was possible to create glamorous, stylish clothes in a way that has less impact on the environment, but even if we did, this collection would have laid any such doubts to rest, because this collection is pure glamour, with a decadent feel that can sometimes be missing from this kind of line.
Our favourite items are the green tulle dress (£149.99) above, and the pink tulip dress (£69.99) below, and while the prices may be higher than we're used to paying for H&M, we're hoping the quality will go some way towards justifying that.
As for the items we DIDN'T like: well, you'll never persuade us that dungarees are a good idea for anything, but particularly not as evening wear, and there's a little too much emphasis on our old enemy, the high-low hem. There's a lot to love, too, though, so take a look at the gallery below, and tell us what you think: the collection will is available in selected stores, and on the H&M website, from April 4th.
