Section 97
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, August 2, 1833. This revelation deals particularly with the affairs of the Saints in Zion, Jackson County, Missouri, in response to the Prophet's inquiry of the Lord for information. Members of the Church in Missouri were at this time subjected to severe persecution and, on July 23, 1833, had been forced to sign an agreement to leave Jackson County.
1–2, Many of the Saints in Zion (Jackson County, Missouri) are blessed for their faithfulness; 3–5, Parley P. Pratt is commended for his labors in the school in Zion; 6–9, Those who observe their covenants are accepted by the Lord; 10–17, A house is to be built in Zion in which the pure in heart will see God; 18–21, Zion is the pure in heart; 22–28, Zion will escape the Lord's scourge if she is faithful.
1 Verily I say unto you my friends, I speak unto you with my avoice, even the voice of my Spirit, that I may show unto you my will concerning your brethren in the land of bZion, many of whom are truly humble and are seeking diligently to learn wisdom and to find truth.
2 Verily, verily I say unto you, blessed are such, for they shall obtain; for I, the Lord, show mercy unto all the ameek, and upon all whomsoever I will, that I may be bjustified when I shall bring them unto judgment.
3 Behold, I say unto you, concerning the school in Zion, I, the Lord, am well pleased that there should be a aschool in Zion, and also with my servant bParley P. Pratt, for he abideth in me.
4 And inasmuch as he continueth to abide in me he shall continue to preside over the school in the land of Zion until I shall give unto him other commandments.
5 And I will bless him with a multiplicity of blessings, in expounding all scriptures and mysteries to the edification of the aschool, and of the church in Zion.
6 And to the residue of the school, I, the Lord, am willing to show mercy; nevertheless, there are those that must needs be achastened, and their works shall be made known.
7 The aax is laid at the root of the trees; and every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down and cast into the fire. I, the Lord, have spoken it.
8 Verily I say unto you, all among them who know their hearts are ahonest, and are broken, and their spirits contrite, and are bwilling to observe their covenants by csacrifice—yea, every sacrifice which I, the Lord, shall command—they are daccepted of me.
9 For I, the Lord, will cause them to bring forth as a very fruitful atree which is planted in a goodly land, by a pure stream, that yieldeth much precious fruit.
10 Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that a ahouse should be built unto me in the land of Zion, like unto the bpattern which I have given you.
11 Yea, let it be built speedily, by the tithing of my people.
12 Behold, this is the atithing and the bsacrifice which I, the Lord, require at their hands, that there may be a chouse built unto me for the salvation of Zion—
13 For a place of athanksgiving for all saints, and for a place of instruction for all those who are called to the work of the ministry in all their several callings and offices;
14 That they may be perfected in the aunderstanding of their ministry, in theory, in principle, and in doctrine, in all things pertaining to the bkingdom of God on the earth, the ckeys of which kingdom have been dconferred upon you.
15 And inasmuch as my people abuild a bhouse unto me in the cname of the Lord, and do not suffer any dunclean thing to come into it, that it be not defiled, my eglory shall rest upon it;
16 Yea, and my apresence shall be there, for I will come into it, and all the bpure in heart that shall come into it shall see God.
17 But if it be defiled I will not come into it, and my glory shall not be there; for I will not come into aunholy temples.
18 And, now, behold, if Zion do these things she shall aprosper, and spread herself and become very glorious, very great, and very terrible.
19 And the anations of the earth shall honor her, and shall say: Surely bZion is the city of our God, and surely Zion cannot fall, neither be moved out of her place, for God is there, and the hand of the Lord is there;
20 And he hath sworn by the power of his might to be her salvation and her high atower.
21 Therefore, verily, thus saith the Lord, let Zion rejoice, for this is aZion—the pure in heart; therefore, let Zion rejoice, while all the wicked shall mourn.
22 For behold, and lo, avengeance cometh speedily upon the ungodly as the whirlwind; and who shall escape it?
23 The Lord's ascourge shall pass over by night and by day, and the report thereof shall vex all people; yea, it shall not be stayed until the Lord come;
24 For the aindignation of the Lord is kindled against their abominations and all their wicked works.
25 Nevertheless, Zion shall aescape if she observe to do all things whatsoever I have commanded her.
26 But if she aobserve not to do whatsoever I have commanded her, I will bvisit her caccording to all her works, with sore affliction, with dpestilence, with eplague, with sword, with fvengeance, with gdevouring fire.
27 Nevertheless, let it be read this once to her ears, that I, the Lord, have accepted of her offering; and if she sin no more anone of these things shall come upon her;
28 And I will bless her with ablessings, and multiply a multiplicity of blessings upon her, and upon her generations forever and ever, saith the Lord your God. Amen.

The New Ecosystem for Mobile: Technology Alliances for M-Payments and M-Banking
Banks and financial institutions are most effective when they can utilize technology and outsourcing services to give customers full accessibility to their accounts – but reduce their direct interaction with customers. To this end, we are seeing banking technology vendors continuously generate innovative ideas and solutions. During the past decades, we've witnessed the evolution of Checks and their Clearing Systems, Automated Teller Machines (ATM), Point of Sale (POS) devices, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Systems and the list continues.
The evolution of mobile technology has allowed banks to embed mobile in their front-end solutions offering flexibility, ease of use, and accessibility to their banked customers and account holders. Through Mobile Banking (m-Banking) services; users can review their balance, transfer money between accounts, and perform some sort of utility payments along with many other services that enables interaction between the account owner and the bank's back office systems.
On the other hand, other mobile technology vendors have started to offer services for mobile users and introduced Mobile Payments (m-Payments). The contributors in this new era included Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and payment gateway providers. Both the financial and mobile ecosystems played a major and significant role in the development and offering of new services. M-Payment solutions offer different services to subscribers such as utility payments (i.e. electricity, mobile bills, water services, etc.), mobile top-up, airtime transfer and many other services. For its basic functionality, m-Payments depend on using the cards systems: credit, debit, loyalty, business and others, whereas m-Banking depends on the majority of its transactions on the customers' bank accounts. M-Payments also use the m-Wallet in other areas.
Despite the fact that banks are not in the forefront in providing mobile services especially in the context of m-Payments, banks still have the opportunity to conquer this market and make use of bank's infrastructure.
The question that might rise here, is there an ongoing dispute and debate between banks and other service providers to win the market? The answer is absolutely NO.
These days, the business model encourages partnership and collaboration rather than competition between companies that may offer joined services. In this view, we could see partnership among different ecosystems, at the same time, providing a unique and unified new ecosystem that consists of financial ecosystem (banks), mobile ecosystem (MNOs) and utility service providers.
Money Transfer Future: Domestic and Cross-Borders
In the previous section, I mentioned different services provided by both m-Payments and m-Banking systems. One major function that has a wide impact in the global financial system is money transfer, which varies in amount and flows to and from different directions and performed at different levels in terms of technology education.
This is a clear example showing what the new ecosystem can provide. Partnership between financial institutions represented by the banks and the m-Payments providers such as MNOs will expand the capabilities of this ecosystem and add huge amounts of money that travels from one continent to another.
Moreover, software and technology vendors are offering and promoting the concept of the card-less ATM where bank accounts or m-Wallets (both managed by banks) are linked to a mobile number that is managed by MNOs, enabling a wider range of money transfer beneficiaries to receive money, despite being unbanked customers and customers who don't hold ATM cards. This is a significant feature and an added value to all stakeholders in the money transfer cycle.
The Technology Question
This new partnership will enable the different technologies in the market to provide its services for both classic and newly started ones, such as money transfer.
The new ecosystem will benefit from old and new technologies supported by the mobile manufacturers and the MNOs. These technologies can be: - Short Message Service (SMS) - Unstructured Supplementary Services Delivery (USSD) - Mobile Application - Mobile Web - And the recently released technology in the market; Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.
Each of these technologies has its advantages and disadvantages. However, it is worth mentioning that the majority of stakeholders prefer investing in mobile applications and NFC due to their capabilities in providing accessibility and usability for customers.
Newly launched services will lack the trust and confidence in the market until there is a success story and some real proof of credibility. This is especially important because cardholders are apprehensive to provide card information without a guarantee that their information is secure. But who said that we shouldn't trust mobile transactions to perform money transfer or utility payments using our own mobile devices? I would say it is more secure as most of these mobile applications are secured with digital certificates and use different mechanisms of data encryption.
In addition, most m-Payment solutions should comply with PCI standard to secure the transactions.
Fraudulent Transactions
Banks and service providers should address all issues that might fall under the fraud category. Central banks and regulators are publishing rules and regulations to govern and manage fraud transactions. It is not difficult for service providers to adhere to such rules, follow regulations, and accordingly protect their consumers and their revenues from fraud. Also, it will be a good idea to use shared services in which huge databases are in place, monitoring tools are implemented and the rules followed by these shared services are enhanced and maintained frequently.
With Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations and laws imposed worldwide, the identity of people involved in the money transfer process becomes a major issue that service providers have to address and provide solutions for in order to eliminate this potential risk. Collaboration between MNOs, Payment Gateways and Banks (issuing and acquiring) provides a larger scale of databases and information about the people involved in this process.
In order to provide quality services and eliminate the risk, partnership and collaboration are the keys to success; the future will tell the success stories.

"He called me up one morning that I should meet him in Lagos so that we can hang out. He said his friends are around and they want to take us out. So, I agreed to see him. I remember it was a particular friend of ours that was around that day, although I would not like to mention his name.
"And when I got to Lagos that day, he was like'let's go to the club.'When we got to the club, the place was totally empty. Obviously confused, I asked him,"baby, what are we doing here, it's empty"and before I turned back, my brothers and friends showed up. I was so perplexed that I had to ask what everybody was doing around there and they said they heard we were there and they came. Click to continue.
"Just about few minutes after, Tuface picked up the microphone and I thought he was going to do all the normal hypes he does when he goes to the club. But he shocked me. He started saying things about how I have always been there for him since day one. How I have sacrificed alot for him. How I have cried and stood strong during his trying moments.
The truth is, he said so many things I can't remember now. He said so many wonderful things that sent me into another world and I couldn't even hear the other things he said.
"I didn't even know when he walked up to me and he said"Please, will you marry me?"And I was like,"Can you imagine? What's going on here?"he was saying so many things that I can't even remember. It all blew my head.
"Although, it has not been easy since we had our traditional marriage. The truth is, it is not easy to be married to a superstar but I still live my normal life. Right now, I feel 24 hours is not enough for me because I have my husband, my daughter and myself to take care of. It has really been crazy and God knows I have been trying my best. I wish I have more time to handle all of this.
"Just because of the lack of time, I haven't been able do my normal acting jobs. I would still go on to do it soon because my husband is very supportive of my career and everything I do. As a married woman, I would be more selective with the roles I take now. I would do away from controversial roles but that doesn't mean if I see a good storyline I wouldn't do it.
"One of the reasons I would be careful with the roles I take up now is because I am married. And when you are married you have to be able to manage your career such that it won't affect your home front. In any case, you need to learn some tips which will help you carry on in the marriage. But before that, you need to be sure that the man loves you as much as you love him.
Even if it is not as much as you love him, but be sure he loves you. You also need to be patient. Men are like babies and babies are very annoying. You need to scold them but you should pamper them more. You need to work on yourself so that you can be proud of yourself. Don't fake anything.
"Very soon, Tuface and I plan to do our white wedding and you will all be invited and even though it will be something quiet. We don't want to make too much noise about it. We just want a beautiful and memorable event."

Section 33
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet to Ezra Thayre and Northrop Sweet, at Fayette, New York, October 1830. In introducing this revelation, Joseph Smith's history affirms that "the Lord … is ever ready to instruct such as diligently seek in faith."
1–4, Laborers are called to declare the gospel in the eleventh hour; 5–6, The Church is established, and the elect are to be gathered; 7–10, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand; 11–15, The Church is built upon the gospel rock; 16–18, Prepare for the coming of the Bridegroom.
1 Behold, I say unto you, my servants aEzra and Northrop, open ye your ears and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, whose bword is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow, soul and spirit; and is a discerner of the thoughts and cintents of the heart.
2 For verily, verily, I say unto you that ye are called to lift up your voices as with the asound of a trump, to declare my gospel unto a crooked and bperverse generation.
3 For behold, the afield is bwhite already to harvest; and it is the celeventh hour, and the last time that I shall call dlaborers into my vineyard.
4 And my avineyard has become bcorrupted every whit; and there is none which doeth cgood save it be a few; and they derr in many instances because of epriestcrafts, all having corrupt minds.
5 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that this achurch have I bestablished and called forth out of the cwilderness.
6 And even so will I agather mine elect from the bfour quarters of the earth, even as many as will believe in me, and hearken unto my voice.
7 Yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the field is awhite already to harvest; wherefore, thrust in your sickles, and reap with all your might, mind, and strength.
8 aOpen your mouths and they shall be filled, and you shall become even as bNephi of old, who journeyed from Jerusalem in the wilderness.
9 Yea, open your mouths and spare not, and you shall be laden with asheaves upon your backs, for lo, I am with you.
10 Yea, open your mouths and they shall be filled, saying: aRepent, repent, and prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for the bkingdom of heaven is at hand;
11 Yea, arepent and be baptized, every one of you, for a bremission of your sins; yea, be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.
12 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my agospel; and remember that they shall have faith in me or they can in nowise be saved;
13 And upon this arock I will build my church; yea, upon this rock ye are built, and if ye continue, the bgates of hell shall not prevail against you.
14 And ye shall remember the church aarticles and covenants to keep them.
15 And whoso having faith you shall aconfirm in my church, by the laying on of the bhands, and I will bestow the cgift of the Holy Ghost upon them.
16 And the Book of Mormon and the holy scriptures are given of me for your ainstruction; and the power of my bSpirit cquickeneth all things.
17 Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your alamps btrimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be cready at the coming of the dBridegroom—
18 For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I acome quickly. Even so. Amen.

How To Cut Your Own Eyelid Tape
11:14 PMFor those single-lidders who find that constantly buying tape is a hassle or feel that the tape they buy doesn't fit their eyes well, this is an option for you. Cut your own! It is very inexpensive to buy a roll of 3M clear athletic tape in comparison to constantly buying pre-cut tapes. Also, you can find it at any Walmart or Target near the bandage section which is a nice alternative to going to an Asian beauty store if you don't have one nearby. Since one roll only costs around $3 USD, it is much more cost-effective to cut your own, plus you can adjust it to whatever shape you want. I found that a lot of pre-cut tapes aren't as wide or long as I want them to be, so it's nice to make it just right myself.
Tools needed:
*Nexcare Flexible Clear Tape, 3/4"
*Sharp Scissors
First, cut the length that you would like your eyelid tape to be. I prefer mine to be a little longer (for when I am just at home or if I choose to wear it at night when I sleep) but it's up to your own preference.
Next, cut the tape in half lengthwise. You should have two long rectangular strips. Carefully place one strip where it won't get stuck to anything.
Take your scissors and round off the corners of the tape. You want to end up with a smooth, long oval. Do this for both tapes.
Cut the oval in half again, lengthwise.
Finally, round off the sharp corners once more. If you do this for all tapes (including the half you set aside in the beginning), you should end up with 4 eyelid tapes in the end.
If the tape is too wide, you can always make it skinnier or shorter on the sides. Practice makes perfect, so I would suggest making a few in different shapes and sizes to see what looks best on you. Just remember that you can always make it smaller but you can't make a cut tape bigger, so start out wider and longer in case you want to cut it down. Another thing that helps is to study the shape of pre-cut tapes and try to mimic it. After a few tries, it'll get much easier to cut it just the way you need. Hopefully this will save you in emergencies when you run out of tape and can't make it to the beauty store, or if you get frustrated with what's available. Good luck!

beautiful! could you post the pic of the eyelid tape on your lid outlined in white so we can see the placement of the tape on the lid clearly? (a pic was in one of your previous posts)thanks!

Hi.. I was wondering how safe is it to use tape on your eyelids. What are the long term effects? I've been told not to use the tape or glue because it makes your eyelids droopy in the long run and also makes the creases become uneven over time. Not to mention, if you decide to have eyelid surgery, I hear it's difficult for the doctor to perform surgery on it because our eyelids become damaged internally. Also, isn't the skin around our eyes very delicate? Wouldn't repeated use of tape cause wrinkling of our skin? I noticed you were using the first-aid tape.. do you know what chemicals make up the sticky part of the tape? because using the tape constantly may cause harmful chemicals to diffuse through our skin which is porous. I'm really hesitant about using the tape because I don't want to have smaller eyes in the long run without the guarantee of permanent double eyelids from tape (or glue).
If you have any information about long term use of tape I would really like to know. I've been searching online, but haven't found any legit answers. Maybe you have been using it for some years now and can give me some feedback.. because I really want to use it, but I'm just thinking of the consequences. -_- Thanks... anonymous 3: Tape and glue will only make your eyelids droopy if you aren't properly removing it. If you just rip off the tape, it will stretch the skin and cause droopiness over a long period of time (years). I promise you, doctors who do double lid surgery probably have a majority of patients that wore tape or glue. It's nothing they couldn't fix.
It's silly to think that you can get "damaged internally" when the tape and glue only affects the outside part of your skin. The first aid tape was made to be put on your skin. People usually use it to dress wounds. Of course there aren't harsh chemicals in it! I don't think there's any health issue whatsoever that you need to worry about.
I'm sorry nobody can guarantee you your lids will be permanent. It all depends on the thickness of your natural eyelid. Some do wear it for years and it never turns permanent, but for my mom, aunts, and cousins, they all turned to double lids after about a year of use. I've only used it on a regular basis since January, but I've had no problems with droopiness or any health problems with my eyes since then.
As for wrinkling, creating a double lid is pretty much forcing a wrinkle to form where you want it to. You always try to put the glue or tape so that it makes the exact same crease every time for it to work. If done correctly, it shouldn't cause any other random wrinkles to form.
I can't give you any statistics about double eyelid tape, but I will say that based on the hundreds of thousands of women who have used it before, you don't have anything to worry about.- AnonymousMarch 27, 2008 at 10:53 PM
omg you are so creative! you're quite the guru! i love this idea, i'm totally gonna do it!
ReplyDelete I found this blog via Soompi(?)via googling Solotica lenses. Bravo. I love your photo tutorials.
I have a question about the tape? Do you wear it all day under makeup or do you wear it and take it off prior to makeup application? I'm korean too and have one creased eye and one uncreased so I'd love to balance out my eyes, but know nothing of how to tape or glue eyelids.interesting. i've never tried eyelid tape or glue, but i'm curious to see what i'd look like with it.

I came across to your post in the soompi forums...
I have a question!
When i was 1-7 years old, I had double eyelids (my parents both have natural double eyelids)... then when I was in elemantary to high school my eyes had single lids.. or at least i had a small crease on the end...
Now when i turned 18, my eyelids became double! it's weird! it's annoying when at some days one would be double and the other single... one of my friends told me that it's either genetics or aging.. is it because i get more sleep? i was wondering if you know what's up with my strange eyelid situation...
and wonderful blog!!! steph: thanks so much!
Your eyelid problem is probably because the amount of fat in your eyelid changed as you grew through puberty. Sometimes we can gain and lose weight quickly in different parts of our bodies during times of rapid growth, so I'd bet that once you hit your more "mature" stage, your eyelids naturally thinned out giving you back your original double eyelids again.
Even I developed doubles naturally once in a while before I used tape and glue if I was very tired. That kind is usually temporary though. Hope that answered your question!- AnonymousApril 27, 2008 at 7:56 PM
great tutorial! I used to use those kinda tape too but then it was really quite visible. so i switched to another kind that I bought from the website :
It's really quite good and looks really natural and you can't see the tape when worn maybe you can try it too! - AnonymousMay 5, 2008 at 7:12 PM
alot of people have been saying that they got double eyelids after putting them on while sleeping... how is that possible? because i mean otherwise, it'd just be some tape on your skin without any force trying to create a crease... I tried wearing the tape on while I slept, but whenever I woke up... I ended up with tape on my hair/hands/behind my ears/anywhere on my face... so does it really work when you sleep? and is there any way to keep it from ending up somewhere else? thx

Thanks for this tutorial! I've been using pre-cut tapes but they do get expensive to buy after a while. I did not know that hospital tapes like these exist, and they are indeed a much cheaper alternative!
ReplyDelete woww thanks for this entry! it definitely helped a lot!! i could never cut them right.. haha
ReplyDelete- AnonymousAugust 9, 2008 at 10:34 AM
your tutorial was really awesome. i bought the roll of tape and made some double eyelid tape and it worked well!
i have a few questions though. i heard that some people use eyelash glue on their eyelids as double eyelid glue. have you heard of this? do you know whether it's safe or not?
also, if you use eyelid glue, will it stretch your eyelids even more than tape because it glues your eyelid together and when you blink, your eyelids will be pulled?
and my last question is on my type of eyelids. you may not have my type of eyelids, so i don't know whether you can help me or not on this one, but you seem pretty knowledgeable on this topic :)i have a small cease near my lash line, so my eyelids kind of fold under (you can't see my lash line and when i put on a thin line of eyeliner, you can't see it. the eyeliner will have to be around 1/3 of a cm thick in order for it to show if i stare straight ahead). i also have another small, very small, cease that shows when i open my eyes. so i was just wondering how i can make my double eyelids higher up and away from my lash line. how can i make my double eyelids normal? i want my lash line to show!!!! T_T
thx! & congrats on your wedding :D :D - AnonymousSeptember 4, 2008 at 8:20 PM
Is this tape double sided?? (sticky on both sides?) Or is it just sticky on one side? And if so, how does it get applied??

i have slightly creased eyelids therefore whenever i apply the tape i end up with 2 creases and it looks really wierd..
the only way to get rid of it is if i squint or smile really hard so that the top crease goes away..
does that happen to you sometimes?
and how do you remove the tape? i've tried removing it with warm water but the tape just won't budge !!! Anonymous: The tape is only single-sided. If you have a double wrinkle forming, try placing the top of the tape right at your natural wrinkle/crease. Or, you could try placing the bottom of the tape right at your lash line.

I started out by trying both glue and eyelid-tape that I cut myself. I found the tape to work the best, although I hesitate to use it since you can really see the tape on the lid (even with proper makeup applied!) So today I went to a wig store and bought CLEAR DOUBLE SIDED SURGICAL TAPE. I went home and cut it the way I would usually do with my regular eyelid tape (perhaps a bit thinner), placed it about where I usually do or maybe a little lower, then used a tiny stick to gently "poke" it into place. For me this really works, and since the tape is double sided YOU CANNOT SEE IT. It took me a few times to get the crease right, but practice makes perfect. This is the kind of tape I bought (the one on top): http://www.hairtape.net/discount.html
It pretty much works the same way as the glue but is way less messy. I'm going to continue experimenting but this seems to work wonderfully so far. - AnonymousMarch 5, 2009 at 5:18 PM
hey~!! nice blog
it is really creative
could you make a post showing how to put the tape? >_<' PLZ~~~ - AnonymousMarch 26, 2009 at 9:03 PM
wowww ! seems cool but does it really work D: ? can u post a clip up showing us how to do it D: ? :D ty very much !!
ReplyDelete Omg, thank you so so so much for this blog post! I've searched EVERYWHERE but I never got satisfying results. Most people prefer using eye glue, but from my experience, you can't apply heavy makeup afterwards because it dries the glue.
Once again. Thank you so much! I'm going to try these tricks right away!- AnonymousJune 9, 2009 at 10:16 PM
OMG!!! Thank you sooo much for this tutorial!1~ Because of this tutorial, i was able to make tape for myself when I still didn't have any pre- cut ones, and last June 5th was my 9th monthsary in using tapes! Even though now I've bought some pre cut tapes, for some reason i still like the ones I cut myself because aside from being economical, I can make the shape that suits my eyelids the best!!! Thanks again!!! And sorry if I only commented now, I've actually been following your blog since last August. Nice blog by the way!!! Since I'm nearing prom, I really pass by your blog more often for make up ideas!~ Since I'm a tape wearer too, your make up tips apply to me in the best ways! hahah
I dunno whether i'd get the folds, but at least I can get the folds while wearing them m(^ w^)m
Hope to see even more beauty tips here!!

I have a very serious question to ask you,
Are you trying to imply to other Asian girls who are born with "mono-lids" to be ashamed of themselves because, from what I'm getting from this video of yours, by putting on "eye lid tape" makes you look more attractive?
This question may seem a bit harsh but it just seems to me that tutorials like this are trying to mold the traditional Asian girl into what society thinks is beautiful while putting aside the true beauty of being a "mono-lid". - AnonymousJune 7, 2012 at 6:37 AM
I think I'll try this. Thanks for the tutorial! I am Asian/White, & while I have a crease on both eyes, it is very close to my lash line, & my eyes are mostly flat-set, tucking under the droopy lid. I have a similar issue to one I read here, where my eye liner doesn't show unless it is put on very, very thick, & then it gets oily from being tucked under the lid & runs. I recently got permanent eye liner, but I still hate looking tired from the droopy eyelids.
To Jing, I understand your question, & I don't think she's implying that anyone should be ashamed of themselves. I think she's trying to help people who like her, didn't like the way their eyelids were shaped - for various reasons. Mine is because my makeup doesn't stay on & I look tired. I've seen that a lot of Asian women are interested in changing the shape or appearance of their eyelids, but I think there are various reasons - each personal to the individual. I think tutorials like this are really helpful, as I've struggled with an "issue" with my eyelids ever since I started learning to put on makeup. If women are secure with who they are, I think it's great for them to find a tool that will help them be happier with their appearance. Their reasons for wanting to look different - well, that is their own business. Super cool! Thanks so much! I ordered some Koji TUCK IN tape to try out, then I am going to use your method for creating my own! So kind of you to share this with us! LOVE BEAUTY AND HAIR tips! You Rock!
ReplyDeleteWhat happens if you happen to have such, well how do I put this, 'deep' double eyelids that the top fold goes over the bottom and looks like a monolid? Will this still work?
ReplyDeleteI am Hispanic but I have sort of Asian eyes, and I never knew about the eyelid tape and the whole spectrum of products related to it. I used it for the first time and my eyes look amazing, however I tend to note that the tape is visible. Can you recomend the best brand or kind? less visible? thinner etc? thanks

NHL and Union Reach Tentative Agreement to Bring Back Hockey
Brush the dust off your hockey sticks!
The National Hockey League and the players' association have reached a tentative agreement after a lockout that lasted almost four months, ESPN reports.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr, the executive director of the players' association, announced the new collective bargaining agreement together early Sunday.
Fifty Shades of Lame! Check out TV's unsexiest sex scenes
The deal still needs language clarification, legal fine-tuning and ratification on both sides, but the two parties reached a verbal agreement on all major points. The agreement also still requires majority approval from both the board of governors - which could happen as early as Tuesday - and the players association membership before the deal can become official. The tentative deal is for 10 years with a mutual opt-out clause after eight and contract term limits at seven.
Among the issues at stake during the lockout: the NHL had hoped to change the opening of free agency to July 10, but it will remain on July 1. It will also start later this year due to the delayed season. Because of the delayed season, the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs are expected to extend into the end of June.
RIP Jelena and TomKat! Check out the most shocking celebrity splits
ESPN reports that, depending on how quickly an official deal is completed, a 50-game season would start on Jan. 15, while a 48-game season would start on Jan. 19. This would be similar to the shortened 1994-95 season when a lockout resulted in a 48-game schedule. 468 games were missed during that 104-day lockout. During the 2004-05 season, a 310-day lockout resulted in 1,230 games being missed.
Are you happy that professional hockey is coming back?

San Francisco based Mildred emailed us some photos from a recent trip he and Pacolli took to Sao Paulo, Brazil for the group show Dream Team she curated featuring the likes of Travis Millard, Mel Kadel, Michael Hsiung, Mark Todd, Esther Pearl Watson, Matthew Rodriguez, and many others. Words and photos from Mildred.
Before the show it was pretty much just me and Pacolli painting the whole gallery and doing all the instalations and hanging all the work. lots of shit to be done. I also painted the front of Choque the week after the opening. And we had a little concert at Choque in which I played keyboard and two other folks played guitar and sang. Ephameron went there the day before the opening and did a tape installation as well. During the month we also had a zine/print/shirt sale at Choque as well. It all went very well and we had a blast! -Mildred

Restoration of trust in UK business must start from the top, ACCA says
- Rules on company directors must be reviewed
- Transparency is important but must be a means for enhancing stakeholder engagement and incentivising responsible conduct
The government's proposals to enhance transparency and increase levels of trust in UK business are laudable and worthy of support, but care must be taken not to assume that trust will always and necessarily follow-on from increased public disclosure, says ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) in its response to the BIS discussion paper Company ownership: transparency and trust.
ACCA says that the focus of government policy should be on increasing public confidence in the way that businesses are run, and while disclosure on financial and other matters can contribute to that end and can incentivise responsible behaviour on the part of directors, policy on disclosure must always be justified by reference to the cost/benefit test. Trust in the true sense stems from businesspeople being seen to be acting in the right way, and this is not necessarily achieved by compliance with rules. In its response ACCA makes the following specific points: -in order to strengthen the accountability of company directors to their shareholders, they should be required to state formally in their annual reports that they are aware of their legal responsibilities and have complied with them; listed companies should disclose how they have gone about complying with those responsibilities -companies should be barred from acting as directors of other companies except in limited circumstances, such as when incorporating new companies
-all companies should be required to identify any person holding a controlling ownership stake in them, but the establishment of a central register for filing that information, as proposed by the Government, would go beyond what is necessary to achieve the policy objective.
-creditors and the general public would benefit from a more robust approach to the disqualification of errant directors and recovery of funds owed: the proposal to allow liquidators to assign their rights to pursue reckless directors is a pragmatic idea for allowing recovery actions to take place when liquidators are short of funds to do so themselves. John Davies, head of technical at ACCA, says: "The rules governing the conduct of company directors are difficult to enforce and in some respects illogical. We need a regime in which all directors are subject to the same body of rules. This is not currently possible where companies can act as directors of other companies; further, situations where individuals act as directors as effective proxies for third parties, and have little appreciation of their fiduciary duties in relation to the company on shoes board they sit, are not conducive to good corporate governance. "We need to strengthen the standards expected of all directors by requiring them to state formally in annual reports that they recognise their legal responsibilities and have sought to comply with them. "With regard to the identification of beneficial owners, it is right that all companies be required to identify those individuals who own a controlling stake in them. This will help in the fight against tax evasion and will help those advisers and institutions who have responsibilities to identify beneficial owners under anti-money laundering legislation. It will also help companies in the process of engaging constructively with their shareholders. But establishing a central register for filing that information would be unnecessary and amount to an exercise in gold plating."John Davies concludes: "Ultimately, public policy needs to aim to ensure that individuals who run companies understand what is expected of them and commit themselves to carrying out their functions with due regard to their fiduciary obligations and standards of commercial morality."

This is the fifth version of my .NET MIDI toolkit. I had thought that the previous version was the final one, but I have made many changes that have warranted a new version. This version takes a more traditional C#/.NET approach to flow-based programming, which I'll describe below. I wasn't comfortable with version four's implementation along these lines, so I took a step back and made changes that keep the flow-based approach while remaining within C#/.NET accepted idioms. I'm hoping that this will make the toolkit easier to use and understand.
The toolkit has seen many revisions over the past two to three years. Each revision has been an almost total rewrite of the previous one. When writing software, it is usually a bad idea to make updates that break software using previous versions. However, my goal in creating this toolkit has been to provide the best design possible. As I have grown as a programmer, I have improved my skills and understanding of software design. This has led me to revise the earlier designs of the toolkit without regard to how these revisions will break code. Not exactly the attitude one wants to adopt in a professional setting, but since the toolkit is free and since I have used it as a learning experience to improve my craft, my priorities are different.
Before I get into the specifics of the toolkit, I would like to talk about its architecture. With each version of the toolkit, I have struggled with how to structure the flow of messages through the system. I wanted an approach that would be versatile and allow customization. It would be nice, I thought, if users could plug their own classes into the flow of MIDI messages to do whatever they want. For example, say you wanted to write a harmonizer, a class capable of transposing notes in a specified key to create harmony parts automatically. It should be easy to simply plug the harmonizer into the toolkit without affecting other classes. In other words, the toolkit should be customizable and configurable.
Investigating this problem led me to J. Paul Morrison's excellent website on flow-based programming. He has written a book on the subject, which can be found on his website as well as at Amazon.
The idea is simple and will probably seem familiar to most: Data flows through a network of components. Each component can do something interesting with the data before passing it along to the next component. In design pattern terms, this approach is most like the Pipe and Filter pattern and is also similar to the Chain of Responsibility pattern. Please check out J. Paul Morrison's excellent book for more information.
(Just to be clear: when I say "component," I'm not necessarily talking about classes that implement the IComponent interface. I'm speaking in more general terms. A component is simply an object in a chain of objects designed to process the flow of messages.)
Below is a very basic network of components designed to handle the flow of MIDI channel messages:
The flow of messages begins with the input device. An input device receives MIDI messages from an external source. Next, the messages flow through a user component. This component might want to do something like change the MIDI channel, transpose note messages, or change the messages in some way. Then the messages pass through the channel stopper. This component simply keeps track of all currently sounding notes. When the message flow stops, the channel stopper can turn off all sounding notes so that none of them hang. Finally, the messages reach the output device. Here they are sent to an external MIDI device.
Well, this is something I really struggled with. You can read a bit about the different ways I tried to achieve this by reading my blog. I found myself going round in circles on this. In version four of the toolkit, I settled on the idea of using a source/sink abstraction. I created an interface representing "Sources." A source represents a source of MIDI messages. "Sinks" were represented by delegates that could be connected to sources; a sink is simply a method capable of receiving a MIDI message. This worked well but it was a little confusing because the implementation looked a little "funny." That is to say, a C# programmer looking at the code for the first time might be confused as to what is going on.
I decided to do away with the sink/source infrastructure and use something more idiomatic. Sources of MIDI messages raise events when they have messages to send. Instead of implementing an interface and having Connect and Disconnect methods for hooking to sinks, they would simply have events. There are two advantages here: First, sources no longer have to implement an ISource interface, and second, .NET events are something very familiar to us. So sources of MIDI messages now look like your everyday class that just happens to have one or more events.
How about sinks, those objects that can receive MIDI messages? A sink can be anything. It's just an object that has a method that can receive a MIDI message. In version four, I had a Sink delegate for representing methods of objects capable of receiving MIDI messages. These delegates were used to connect with sources. This approach of using delegates to "connect" sources and sinks is still used in the toolkit but not as before. Instead, delegates are used as adaptors that connect to the events raised in sources and adapts the events so that objects that need to receive the messages can do so without any knowledge of the source.
Let's look at an example. Say that we're using an InputDevice to receive MIDI messages from a MIDI device, such as your soundcard. The InputDevice raises a ChannelMessageReceived event each time it receives a channel message. Suppose that we want to keep track of any note-on channel messages so that when we decide to stop receiving messages, we can turn off any currently sounding notes to keep them from "hanging." The ChannelStopper class is just for this purpose. However, the ChannelStopper has no knowledge of the InputDevice class. We need a way to hook them up so that messages generated by the InputDevice can be passed along to the ChannelStopper. Here is how we can do this with an anonymous method:
InputDevice inDevice = new InputDevice(0); ChannelStopper stopper = new ChannelStopper(); inDevice.ChannelMessageReceived += delegate(object sender, ChannelMessageEventArgs e) { stopper.Process(e.Message); }; inDevice.StartRecording(); // ...
In this example, an anonymous method adapts events raised by the InputDevice so that they can be processed by a ChannelStopper. The InputDevice is the source of channel messages and the ChannelStopper is a sink capable of receiving and processing channel messages. The nice thing about this approach is that no explicit source/sink infrastructure is needed. Neither class knows anything about being a source or sink. The flow of messages is orchestrated by an external agent, in this case, an anonymous method.
There are several categories of MIDI messages: Channel, System Exclusive, Meta, etc. In designing a MIDI toolkit, the challenge is to decide how to represent these messages. One approach is to create two or three general MIDI classes and have specific types of MIDI messages represented through the properties of those classes. The Java MIDI API takes this route. Another approach is to create a large collection of finely grained classes to represent all of the different types of MIDI messages. For example, there are many types of Channel messages such as the Note-on, Note-off, Program change, and Pitch Bend messages. The fine grained approach would create a class for each of those message types. My approach was to take a middle ground. I created classes for the general categories of MIDI messages but left the specific types of messages as properties within those classes. This kept the class hierarchy lightweight and manageable while providing enough specialization to make working with MIDI messages easy.
Here is the hierarchy of MIDI message classes in the MIDI toolkit:
Specific types of messages are represented through properties. For example, the ChannelMessage class has a Command property that can be set to represent the various types of Channel messages.
All message classes are immutable. This makes sharing messages throughout an application safe. To create messages, you pass the desired property values to their constructor. Additionally, the toolkit provides a set of builder classes for making message creation more convenient.
The toolkit provides the following message builders:
The ChannelMessageBuilder and the SysCommonBuilder also use the Flyweight design pattern. When a new message is built, it is stored in a cache. When another message is needed that has the exact same properties as a message that has already been built, the previous message is retrieved rather than creating a new one. When you consider that a typical MIDI sequence is made up of thousands of messages, many of them identical, it is easy to see how the Flyweight pattern is applicable.
Here is an example of creating a ChannelMessage object representing a note-on message:
ChannelMessageBuilder builder = new ChannelMessageBuilder(); builder.Command = ChannelCommand.NoteOn; builder.MidiChannel = 0; builder.Data1 = 60; builder.Data2 = 127; builder.Build(); Console.WriteLine(builder.Result);
After the builder has been initialized with the desired properties, the MIDI message is built with a call to the Build method. The MIDI message can then be retrieved via the Result property.
There are several builder classes for creating specific types of meta messages. For example, to create a key signature meta message, you use the KeySignatureBuilder class:
KeySignatureBuilder builder = new KeySignatureBuilder(); builder.Key = Key.CMajor; builder.Build(); Console.WriteLine(builder.Result);
Often there is a need to process a collection of IMidiMessages. How each message is processed depends on its type. The problem is that you cannot tell an IMidiMessage's type without an explicit check. The IMidiMessage provides a MessageType property just for this purpose. However, having to repeatedly check message types throughout your code can be cumbersome.
The MessageDispatch class is designed to automate these checks. This class acts as a source for every type of MIDI message. It raises an event each time it dispatches a message. The type of event is determined by the type of message it is dispatching.
MIDI playback is driven by ticks that occur periodically. The source of these ticks are MIDI clocks. MIDI clocks come in all shapes and sizes. For example, playback can be driven by an internal or external clock. Also, the way in which the ticks are generated depends on whether the MIDI sequence has pulses per quarter note resolution or SMPTE resolution. For the vast majority of situations, an internal clock generating ticks with pulses per quarter note resolution is all you need.
The IClock interface represents the basic functionality for all MIDI clocks:
public interface IClock { event EventHandler Tick; event EventHandler Started; event EventHandler Continued; event EventHandler Stopped; bool IsRunning { get; } }
The Tick event occurs when a MIDI tick has elapsed. The Started, Continued, and Stopped events are self-explanatory. However, it should be pointed out that when the Started event occurs, sequence playback starts from the beginning of the sequence. When the Continued event occurs, playback starts from the current position. The IsRunning property indicates whether the clock is running.
You may notice that there are no methods in the interface for starting and stopping a clock. That is because with clocks that are driven by an external source, the source is responsible for starting and stopping the clock. The clocks receive messages via MIDI and based on those messages starts or stops generating ticks. Since all MIDI clocks implement IClock, it only represents the functionality common to all the clocks.
At this time, the toolkit provides only one clock class, the MidiInternalClock. This clock generates MIDI ticks internally using pulses per quarter note resolution. For the majority of situations, this clock will work fine.
The MidiInternalClock has a Tempo property for setting the tempo in microseconds per beat. To set the tempo to 120 bpm, for example, you would set the Tempo property to 500000. It can receive meta tempo change messages. When a meta tempo change message is passed to it, it changes its tempo to match the tempo represented by the message.
A MIDI file is made up of several tracks. Each track contains one or more timestamped MIDI messages. The timestamp represents the number of ticks since the last message was played. This timestamp is called delta ticks. The MidiEvent class represents a timestamped MIDI message. It has three public properties:
The DeltaTicks property represents the number of ticks since the last MidiEvent. In other words, this value represents how long to wait after playing the previous MidiEvent before playing the current MidiEvent. For example, if the DeltaTicks value is 10, we would allow 10 ticks to elapse before playing the MIDI message represented by the current MidiEvent.
The AbsoluteTicks represents the overall position of the MidiEvent. This is the total number of ticks that have elapsed until the current MidiEvent.
The MidiMessage property is the IMidiMessage represented by the MidiEvent.
In addition there are two internal properties, one which points to the previous MidiEvent in the track, and one which points to the next MidiEvent in the track. In other words, the MidiEvent class acts as a node in a doubly linked list of MidiEvents.
The Track class represents a collection of MidiEvents. It is responsible for maintaining a collection of MidiEvents in proper order. MidiEvents are not directly added to a Track. Instead, you add an IMidiMessage, specifying its absolute position in the Track. The Track then creates a MidiEvent to represent the message and inserts it into its collection of MidiEvents.
In addition to providing functionality for adding and removing MIDI events, the Track class also provides several iterators. There is a standard iterator that simply iterates over the MidiEvents one at a time. Another iterator takes a MessageDispatcher object and passes each IMidiMessage to the dispatcher which in turn raises an event specific to the type of message it is dispatching. The value the iterator returns is the absolute ticks for the current MidiEvent.
Perhaps the most useful iterator is the one that when advanced moves forward only one tick at a time. The iterator keeps track of its tick position in the Track. When the tick count has reached a value in which it is time to play the next MidiEvent, it passes the IMidiMessage represented by the MidiEvent to the MessageDispatcher and returns the absolute tick count. This iterator also takes a ChannelChaser object as well as a start position value and "chases" up to the start position before switching to the playback mode. In essence, this iterator allows us to stream the Track in real-time.
The Sequence class represents a collection of Tracks. It also provides functionality for loading and saving MIDI files, so Sequences can load and save themselves.
Every Sequence has a division value. This value represents the resolution of the Sequence and is represented by a property. There are two types of division values: Pulses per quarter note and SMPTE. The Sequence has a SequenceType property indicating the sequence type. Unfortunately, SMPTE sequences aren't supported at this time.
There are several MIDI device classes in the toolkit. Each device class is derived directly or indirectly from the abstract Device class in the Sanford.Multimedia namespace. The InputDevice class represents a MIDI device capable of receiving MIDI messages from an external source, such as a MIDI keyboard controller or synthesizer. The OutputDeviceBase class is an abstract class that serves as the base class for the output device classes. The OutputDevice class represents a MIDI device capable of sending MIDI messages to an external source or your soundcard. And the OutputStream class encapsulates the Windows Multimedia MIDI output stream API. It is capable of playing back timestamped MIDI messages.
There can be more than one of these devices present on your computer. To determine the number of input devices present, for example, you would query the InputDevice's static DeviceCount property. The output device classes also have this property.
Each MIDI device has its own unique ID. This is simply an integer value representing the device's order in the list of devices available. For example, the first output device on your system would have an ID of 0. The second output device would have an ID of 1, and so on. The same is true for the input devices. When you create a MIDI device, you pass it the ID of the device you wish to use to its constructor. If there was an error in opening the device, an exception is thrown.
To find out the capabilities of a device, you query the class' static GetDeviceCapabilities method, passing it the device ID of the device you are interested in. This method will return a structure filled with values representing the capabilities of the specified MIDI device.
Let's describe each device class in detail:
The InputDevice class represents a MIDI device capable of receiving MIDI messages. It has an event for each of the major MIDI message it can receive. To receive MIDI messages, you connect to one or more of these events. Then you call the StartRecording method. Recording will continue until either StopRecording or Reset is called. The InputDevice lets you set the size of the sysex buffer it uses to receive sysex messages. When the InputDevice has received a complete sysex message, it raises the SysExReceived event.
The OutputDeviceBase class is an abstract class that provides basic functionality for sending MIDI messages. It has several overloaded Send methods for sending various types of MIDI messages.
The OutputDevice class represents a MIDI device capable of sending MIDI messages. It inherits most of its functionality from the OutputDeviceBase class. It also provides running status functionality.
The following code creates an OutputDevice, builds and sends a note-on message, sleeps for one second, and then builds and sends a note-off message:
using(OutputDevice outDevice = new OutputDevice(0)) { ChannelMessageBuilder builder = new ChannelMessageBuilder(); builder.Command = ChannelCommand.NoteOn; builder.MidiChannel = 0; builder.Data1 = 60; builder.Data2 = 127; builder.Build(); outDevice.Send(builder.Result); Thread.Sleep(1000); builder.Command = ChannelCommand.NoteOff; builder.Data2 = 0; builder.Build(); outDevice.Send(builder.Result); }
The OutputStream class is also derived from the OutputDeviceBase class. It encapsulates the Windows multimedia MIDI output stream API. It provides functionality for playing back MIDI messages.
To play MIDI messages, you call StartPlaying. The OutputStream will then begin playing back any MIDI messages in its queue. To place MIDI messages in the queue, you first write one or more MidiEvents using the Write method. After writing the desired number of MidiEvents, you call Flush. This flushes the events to the stream causing it to play them back.
The Sequencer class is back. It's a lightweight class for playing back Sequences. I felt the previous MidiFilePlayer class was not the best means for playing back MIDI sequences. I wanted to give the toolkit the ability to play Sequences your create programmatically. One issue that caused me to shy away from a Sequencer class (after having created one in earlier versions) is the problem of a Sequence changing as it's being played by a Sequencer. I still haven't solved that problem, but I didn't want that issue to prevent easy Sequence playback. So I'm putting in a new version of the Sequencer class with the understanding that it's meant to be used for simple playback. For something more sophisticated, you can use it as the basis for creating something more.
The MIDI toolkit depends on the DelegateQueue class from my Sanford.Threading namespace; the InputDevice and OutputDevice classes use it for queueing MIDI events. In turn, the Sanford.Threading namespace depends on my Sanford.Collection namespace, so that assembly is also necessary for the toolkit to compile. Finally, the toolkit uses the Sanford.Multimedia namespace. I've provided all of the assemblies with the download. I've linked the projects that use them to the assemblies in hopes that the toolkit will compile out of the box. Hopefully, the days of having trouble compiling my projects because of not having the right assemblies are over.
This article has provided an overview of my .NET MIDI toolkit. My hope is that it will be a useful and powerful tool for writing MIDI applications. It has been a lot of fun to write. Each version has represented the very best of my skill and knowledge as a programmer. I welcome feedback and any bug reports you may have. Take care and thanks for your time.

This is a tiny crescent shaped shawlette that drapes beautifully around your shoulders and looks absolutely stunning wrapped around your neck as a scarf.
This design marries my two favorite things in the whole world. The color green and knitted leaves. I couldn't love it more!
The curved stockinette st body is created through the use of short rows, and the beautiful leafy border is knit onto the body of the shawlette after its completed.
I found the construction to be very easy. No seaming. No picked up stitches.
I wore mine out for the first time today. It was wonderfully soft and it added a vibrant accent to my winter outfit. I really want to wear it every day. Would people think I was weird?
Good thing I'm starting on another. That way I can switch off colors at least.. :)
