Geometric Designs in Jewelry

Triangles and trapezoids, polygons and pentagons--all types of geometric shapes are showing up in designer lines. Even basic circle and square shapes become a part of amazing pieces when grouped together. Geometric earrings are appealing because they intrigue many buyers. Some geometric pieces appear futuristic, vintage or retro while others may just have the appeal of timeless style. It all depends on how the varying shapes are put together.

The popular edgy, industrial geometric look of the past has matured into asymmetrical styles--some with a hint of tribal inspiration. Experiment with geometric shapes and patterns with bold stripes and abstract colors for statement style. You could take a page from other top designers and companies like Tiffany's (who launched a line of geometric engagement bands), or Mexican jewelry designers like Ivón Fuentes, Daniel Espinosa, and Georgina Treviño. All three designers, who take their inspirations from their native country of Mexico, have different visual aesthetics, but love to use the geometric designs found in nature in their work.

Geometric designs can be bold and chunky like bib necklaces with large geometric shapes, or small and simple such as a few circle pendants on a chain. Single, oversized stones look great on bangles and rings. Another growing trend has been the overlapping of patterns to create new and unique designs such as stacking circles, teardrops, squares and triangle ring on the same finger. Just those four patterns alone could be reconfigured into 24 unique possible combinations! Another favored trend for geometric designs is negative space jewelry (where your design incorporates openings and empty space), which when combined with geometric patterns can create minimalistic but futuristic designs.

Ryan Reynolds Finally Dishes On Name Of Baby Number Three With Blake Lively

Privacy is a big thing for Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, especially when it comes to their children. The couple never makes pregnancy or birth announcements, and they don’t post pics of their daughters on social media. When it comes to baby number three – who Lively gave birth to in August – the couple has been super secretive, and they haven’t revealed her name.

When the 43-year-old actor appeared on The Today Show this week to promote his new Netflix movie 6 Underground, he did open up about having a house full of women. But, when Craig Melvin tried to get the new baby’s name out of Reynolds, he claimed that they haven’t given her one yet. He then joked that there was a name, and it was incredibly unique.

“We’re gonna be original, and all the letters in her name are silent. I want to give her something to push against in life,” said Reynolds, with his signature sarcasm. Ryan Reynolds Finally Dishes On Name Of Baby Number Three With Blake Lively.

Melvin shot back, saying “she’ll be known as anonymous.” And, Reynolds replied, “Yeah, exactly.” 

Fans shouldn’t be surprised that Reynolds and Lively are keeping the name to themselves for a while. When their oldest daughter James, 5, was born in December 2014, the couple didn’t reveal her name until March 2015. Reynolds and Lively are also the parents of three-year-old Inez, and they took months to reveal her name after her birth in September 2016.

The couple kept their third pregnancy a secret until they stepped onto the red carpet in May for the premiere of Pokemon Detective Pikachu. Lively already had a massive baby bump, and was heading into her third trimester at the time.

Reynolds and the Gossip Girl alum didn’t announce their daughter’s birth, either. Instead, he posted a pic in October – two months later – that featured the couple holding the baby, but he covered her face with an emoji and talked about climate policy and the Canadian elections.

During the Today interview, the Deadpool star talked about life in a home with “all women,” and he said that he loves being the dad of three daughters and he “would have it no other way.” Reynolds also joked that his all-female family is just him doing his part to “wipe men off the face of the Earth.”

Reynolds did get serious for a moment and admitted it is getting harder to leave the house.

“I love it. It’s been incredible,” said Reynolds. “Leaving the house is getting harder and harder,” he said. “It gets a lot harder when they ask, ‘Where are you going? When are you coming home? Why are you leaving me?’”

Ryan Reynolds’ new movie 6 Underground will be available for streaming on Netflix on December 13th.

Star Wars The Old Republic Updates To 6.0.2 And Brings Life Day Into The Game

Crew Skill Missions now drop more Premium quality materials, and wealthy yield Crew Skill Missions now reward more materials. They’ve also made it so Crew Skill Missions that show as “grey” difficulty has had their failure rate reduced.

They increased the probability to learn an upgraded schematic from Deconstruction and made it so Solid Resource Matrixes are no longer required to craft items below Artifact quality. They also rebalanced the overall in-flow ratio of materials by quality to be more in line with crafting costs.

Kira and Scourge, the returning Jedi Knight companions, have had their armor in Onslaught icons restored.

An annoying glitch that was recently fixed was that the Satchel of Crafting Materials (Grade 11) can now be opened by characters of any level.

They’ve made it so the Personnel Decorations that drop in Objective Meridian have had their maximum unlockable quantity set to 999 (up from 1), and they updated a number of instances where Renown Crates, the current system, were referred to as Command Crates, the old system.

And speaking of Grade 11 crafting materials, satchels of Crafting Materials from Conquests now contain Grade 11 materials as intended.

They’ve made it so companions that are placed as Stronghold Decorations can no longer be pulled using the Extricate or Rescue abilities.

And finally, the Tech Fragment cap has been increased to 10,000 (up from 5,000).

The dev team updates a number of issues with missions and NPCs.

They’ve also fixed a rare glitch where Imperial players who completed the main story mission “Securing the Plans” did not receive the follow-up mission “Failsafe” as intended.

They fixed an issue with respawning enemies instanced areas; Enemy NPCs inside phased areas during the Missions [HEROIC 2+] Junker Jott’s Crew and [HEROIC 2+] A Matter of Respect will no longer respawn.

They fixed a visual/audio glitch where Kira and Scourge will no longer say “they want to talk” when they do not have anything to talk about.

A glitch where the Space Combat Mission “Kalee Fortification” once granted a Space Mission Weekly Pass as a reward has been fixed.

They fixed an issue where  Shae Vizla, leader of the Mandalorians, would constantly say “Timber” all the time.

They addressed a long-standing issue where a number of instances where Mission markers would take players through opposing faction bases.

They made it so the Supply Boxes for the bonus Mission “Destroy Republic Supplies” on Onderon will now respawn faster, and fixed an issue where the map marker for Hidden Shipment Data on the Mission “[HEROIC 2+] A Matter of Respect” on Mek-Sha was not in the correct location.

The interactable items for the Mission “[Daily: A Simple Discourse]” on Onderon will now respawn faster, and the items required for the Mission “[Two Bird with One Stone]” will no longer spawn under the ground in some situations.

And finally, we come to the previously mentioned Warzones. The new requirements for Season 12 are as follows.

Players who decline a queue pop or who leave a match early for a Ranked Warzone will now be unable to queue again for 15 minutes.

They increased the Rating penalty received for declining a Ranked PvP queue or leaving a match early to 25 (up from 15).

They made adjustments to matchmaking which previously allowed a single tank or healer to prevent Ranked PvP queues from popping.

And in addition to needing to meet the minimum rating requirements, each Ranked PvP Rank now has a “minimum games won”. Players will need to win 25 times for Bronze, 50 for Silver, 100 for Gold, and to get on the leader board, they’ll need to win 200 times.

Dianabol (Dbol)

The infamous pink pill that has the potential to turn you ‘huge’ in a matter of days. The ‘feel good’ steroid, the ‘easiest steroid’ to get big. We have heard many an anecdote about the big D. Our association with Dianabol began in the early 1980s, when it was all over gyms and sporting fields. It came highly recommended from a guy who had a notorious reputation on the track. Not to mention that almost everybody dwarfed under him. Boy, was he big. But he also died prematurely, at the age of 38 due to cardiac arrest. In fact, a lot of big guys in the 80s died premature deaths and this was what set alarm bells ringing in the medical community about steroid abuse. Well, that’s for another day. Today, we will talk about Buy Dianabol, the most famous oral steroid of all times.

Chemical structure

Dianabol is the brand name for Methandrostenolone, an anabolic steroid derived from Testosterone. Two alterations are made to the testosterone hormone. A double bond is added at the Carbon 1 and 2 positions and a methyl group is added at the 17th position. This significantly reduces the androgenicity of the drug, amplifies the anabolic nature and allows it to survive, breakdown by the liver. Common Names Methandrostenolone was marketed under the brand name Dianabol by Ciba until 1983, when it finally pulled the plug on the compound due to mounting pressure from the FDA. But that’s the name that has been synonymous with the drug. Some of the other nicknames that it is known by are Anabol, Danabol, Vetanabol and the D-Bomb.

Main Uses

Because it is a testosterone-derived anabolic steroid, Dianabol has a very straightforward action in the human body in a performance enhancement setting. It increases nitrogen retention, protein synthesis and gylcogenolysis (better use of carbohydrates that we consume). But that would be to put it mildly, for the results that one achieves with Dianabol is unlike what you will get with any other steroid.
Mass gain:

If you have always been a hard gainer, then Dianabol will move the scales in no time. It is hands down, one of the most effective mass gaining steroids of all times. There are people who trash the drug saying that all the mass that you gain will be water and glycogen. That’s a huge load of bull. It’s true that Dianabol will cause water retention and you will lose some of that water when you go off the drug. But you can make some neat muscle gains while you are on cycle. And you can also retain these gains with a good PCT.
Strength:

Dianabol rivals Winstrol in increasing strength. You will cruise through plateaus and set new personal bests. On the track, you will be stronger and faster than ever before. Also, these gains occur fast. Almost dramatic, if that’s the right way to put it. Most first-timers on Dianabol are surprised at how fast they can rack plates to the rod.
