After a poor start to the 2019-20 campaign, Manchester United picked up the pace after signing Bruno Fernandes in the winter transfer window. They currently sit 5th in the League table, three points behind Chelsea.
But, some players have been disappointing this season for the Red Devils and the club's management should not hold back in taking strong decisions in the upcoming transfer window.
Manchester United has been set on trimming the squad since the start of the 2019/20 season but there's still more to in terms of selling the deadwood and the hopeless. So without further ado, let's take a look at the five players that should in the upcoming transfer window:
Phil Jones
Manchester United have five centre-backs at present and Phil Jones is at the bottom of the pecking order. He joined the Red Devils from Blackburn Rovers in 2011 and was regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in England at that time. But he has failed to fulfil those expectations and he needs to be shipped out.
Jones has always been vulnerable and unreliable at the back. He has never performed consistently for United since his arrival and is always susceptible to dropping a disaster class when he's on the pitch. His current contract ends in the summer of 2023 but United needs to find a suitor for him where he can get in shape and get his mojo back.
Andreas Pereira
Andreas Pereira joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven as an academy scholar in 2011. Pereira made his debut for the senior team in 2014. He showed great promise in the start but wasn't getting enough chances under Louis Van Gaal & Jose Mourinho. He never got an opportunity to play consistently for the Manchester club and prove his worth. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came in as an interim manager and gave him consistent playing time.
Pereira hasn't been able to perform despite getting ample of opportunities under the Norwegian. The Brazilian looks not good enough for the Manchester United squad that is going through the building process. United have many options in the midfield and they have better backups than Periera at the moment.
Chris Smalling
Smalling joined Manchester United in 2010 from Fulham. He has been under criticism at United for rash tackles, basic errors and physical playing style. Over the years, he fell out of favour at Old Trafford and was loaned to Roma last summer.
He has been brilliant for the Giallorossi this season. He made 21 league appearances this season and managed two goals and one assist in the Serie A.
The out of favour Englishman has settled in quite well at Roma and has proved his haters wrong. This would be the ideal time to cash-in on Smalling. His contract ends in 2022 and the 30-year-old defender could bring in €10-15 million profit to the club.
Nemanja Matic
The 31-year-old Serbian midfielder has been a good servant of the club despite his short tenure for the club. But Matic's level of performance hasn't been as good as it was 2 years ago. Matic is slow in terms of speed and at times slows down the tempo of the game. Players are stepping up for the Red Devils in the midfield and there's no place for Matic.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs an energetic player to build around the team and Matic is not offering that. Manchester United have better young prospects and there's no need for a player with such high wages.
Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean winger arrived from Arsenal in a swap deal which saw Mkhitaryan moving in the other direction. Sanchez's stay at Old Trafford has been frustrating for both him and the club. He was loaned to Inter for the 2019/20 season. Despite being on loan, United are paying half his wages. And the Red Devils will have to continue paying them till 2022 until they find a suitor for him. He is still good as a backup but United can't offer such a monstrous salary to a backup player. Manchester United have to ship him off this transfer window. There's little or no chance of him saving his career at Manchester United.
Manchester United invested heavily for the 2019-20 campaign, signing Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Daniel James, Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo for approximately € 214 million. However, the Red Devils have earned through selling Romelu Lukaku, Mateo Darmian, Ashley Young and loaning Chris Smalling.

California based Wild at Heart Horse Rescue received a 2019 Horse Welfare grant from the Parelli Foundation. The mission of Wild at Heart Horse Rescue is, where possible, to rehabilitate, train, and prepare rescue horses to become the well-loved family members they are meant to be. If a horse can be saved and live without pain, the Wild at Heart Horse Rescue team is willing to do what it takes to make that happen. There are also "permanent residence" horses on-site. These are sanctuary horses and must remain at the rescue due to their special needs and the extra care they require.
According to the rescue's Treasurer, Leslie Stewart, every penny of donations received is used to support these horses. "We treasure [these] donations and work hard to earn them. We are able to rescue dozens of horses each year" thanks to Wild at Heart's wonderful donors!
Since well-trained horses are much easier to place in permanent and happy homes, Wild at Heart strives to give the rescues the best chance to find a successful placement.
That's why they chose this year to send 12-year-old OTTB (Off the Track Thoroughbred) mare Chattie Katie for saddle training with Parelli 4-Star Professionals Susan Nelson-Thibault and Maurice Thibault. Chattie was a very insecure and panicky mare. After only a month with Susan and Maurice, she blossomed into a much more confident, self-assured horse. Leslie added, "She has learned so many new skills and is a pleasure to ride."
The members of the Wild at Heart team have been training their personal horses — as well as their rescue horses — in Parelli Natural Horsemanship (PNH) for more than five years. They attend clinics as well as host them at their facility. Thanks to Susan and Maurice, they've "had so much success, especially with troubled horses through this program." They have applied grant funds to obtain individual training by Susan and Maurice for several rescue horses and plan to place a new horse in training each month. With this higher level of training, the Wild at Heart team believes they'll have a higher success rate with adopting these rescue horses.
The plan is to bring four or five rescue horses through training by the end of the year. In addition, they will invite two or three volunteers to the facility once per month to observe and audit the ongoing training. This has the added benefit of providing the volunteers with additional visual training with the 4-Star Parelli professionals, Maurice and Susan, who have already been lending their high-level skills and talents to Wild at Heart Horse Rescue.
Making a grant to the Wild at Heart Horse Rescue goes a long way to validate the Foundation's worthy mission: "Help create a better world for horses and humans through natural horsemanship education."

In her artistic explorations, Sahar Zaman, who is a Political Newscaster, Arts Journalist, Curator, Designer and Creative Entrepreneur, her intrinsic "style" has always preceded other considerations. Sahar's creative juices received inspiration as a true artist does, from the apparent mundane namely reflective stickers, that enhance the visage of speeding trucks and road safety signages that glow in the dark. Sahar's avant grade sensibility is expressed in her "Chamak Patti" creations of exotic jewellery and home décor products, with the use of this reflective sticker in the most unique way. The products made and designed by her have enjoyed pride of place at prestigious public places like the HTT (Heritage Transport Museum), India's first international transport museum in Manesar. The work at the museum is a 20 feet by 22 feet metal shutter. Her works adorn the homes of India's well known and have been praised by international designers such as Marcel Wanders and Fabio Novembre. She participated with the display of a Chamak Patti wall installation at the India Design fair 2013, where Novembre said, "Your works are happy and confident." Pinakin Patel added, "Chamak Patti is gorgeous and it deserves to be taken to the next level."
At "Chamak Patti", Sahar works with sheets of reflective sticker which are tediously hand cut by her and used in patterns of her design. The venture started with Sahar decorating storage trunks with these stickers. But she got a positive response from her family and friends, which in turn made her expand to table tops, wall installation, wooden furniture, jewelery, glass bottles and other homeware such as bowls, trays and wine glasses.
Says Sahar, "My brand 'Chamak Patti' is an alchemy of all that I have experienced in my 14 odd years, spent in two diametrically opposite worlds of political news journalism and the arts." She elaborates, "Luxury brands are viewed by consumers as one including a range of products that comprise associations, about a high level of price, quality, aesthetics, rarity and extraordinariness and in that, my 'Chamak Patti' is a luxury brand. This brand has a mind and style of its own and an inherent element of surprise, that prepares to savour the joy of 'expecting the unexpected,' and in that keeping the essence of the 'Chamak Patti' brand vibrant and alive."
"Chamak Patti" means happiness, a product line that invokes emotions, which Sahar has designed, specifically with the idea for spreading joy, for instance to match your cheerful bright coloured cook 'n' serve pots with dinner sets and inspire joy in the kitchen, which further extends to Sahar's call…"Let's make our homes an inspirational creative space!" – a motivating "mantra" for creating the 'Chamak Patti' home décor range.

Dear USF Nation,
We have been at a loss for words since the tragic murder of George Floyd.
Our SoFlo team is comprised of mostly white males. We are a small outfit. We cannot even begin to know what it's like to be Black in America. We didn't want to teach or preach before we took time to listen, understand and learn. Our passion is USF Athletics. This is much bigger than any one school, city, or country. #BlackLivesMatter
The Black community has sought for CHANGE for way too long. They have fought for JUSTICE and EQUALITY for far too long. In our hearts we knew it was necessary to share a message of solidarity as many of our friends and members of the Black community are hurting and fighting for justice.
It's time to speak up in one unified voice against oppression and racism.
On behalf of all of us here at SoFloBulls, we stand with you. All lives don't matter until we as a nation agree that Black Lives Matter.
As the owner, I will kneel during the National Anthem during every USF home game this season, whether I'm able to attend in-person, or not. I invite all of you to join me. I will also make an annual donation to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), and I encourage all of you to contribute what you can.
Find your platform, be the change.
As always, Go Bulls!

Preparing Your Home For A Blizzard
Storm Guard
During the winter, it's important to prep your home for the worst. While, yes, it's essential to implement emergency action plans to keep your family safe, it's also essential to prepare your home for the damages that can accompany blizzards.
There are a few ways to keep your home in the best shape for severe winter weather, so make sure you are taking the proper precautions to keep your family and your home safe this season.
What Can Your Roof Handle?
According to the Institute for Business and Home Safety, most roofs can hold about 20 pounds per square foot of snow. Many homes in northern, more snow-prone areas are built to handle a bit more. During or after a blizzard, it's important to gauge just how much weight your roof is holding. Here are some guidelines:
- Fresh Snow: Roughly one foot of fresh snow weighs about five pounds per square foot on the surface of your roof. That being said, your roof can handle about four feet of fresh snow.
- Old Snow: Old snow is often packed, and icier than fresh snow. About three to five inches of packed snow is equivalent to one foot of fresh snow. This means your roof can handle about two feet of old snow.
- Ice: Only one inch of ice is equivalent to one foot of snow. This means that your roof is in danger if there is four feet of ice.
- If you feel your roof is in danger, DO NOT try to use a ladder to get up there and relieve it yourself. Either use a snow rake and stay safely on the ground, or call a professional for help.
Protect Your Pipes
The water in your pipes can freeze during extremely cold temperatures and snow storms. This can cause your pipes to burst, causing leakage problems later on. However, there are a couple of ways to prevent this from happening. Keeping your home warm can help prevent the pipes from freezing. If there is a power outage, use a generator or alternative heat source such as a fireplace or wood stove to warm up the vicinity. Also, insulate any areas that could let the outdoor air inside, and seal doors and windows to keep the indoors warm.
Stock Up on the Necessities
Of course, this includes all necessary items for survival such as food, water, and non-electric heat sources. But it's also important to stock up on items that can keep your home safe during severe weather. Be sure that you have the following items around your home for top snow-storm preparedness:
- De-icing salt and sand: If the forecast is showing heavy snow, pour this stuff on your sidewalk prior to snowfall.
- Snow blower: Make sure your snow blower works ahead of time. Also, stock up on extra gas as you never know when the roads could be shut down.
- Snow shovel: This is an obvious one. And here's a tip, spray the shovel with non-stick cooking spray prior to shoveling. This will help the snow slide right off.

Bowser, the district's Democratic mayor, formally asked the White House last month for an open-ended deployment of 150 National Guard members per day as well as a "suitable federal location" for a mass housing and processing center, mentioning the D.C. Armory as a logical candidate.
During the spring, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, both Republicans, announced plans to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C., in response to President Joe Biden's decision to lift a pandemic-era emergency health order that restricted migrant entry numbers by denying them a chance to seek asylum. The rule remains in effect under court order.
On Friday, Abbott said the first group of migrants from his state had now been bused to New York as well.
As of mid-July, about 5,200 migrants had been bused from Texas to D.C. since April. As of Aug. 3, more than 1,300 had been sent from Arizona since May. The governors call the practice a voluntary free ride — paid for by state taxpayers — that gets migrants closer to family or support networks.
But Bowser last month dismissed that characterization, saying that the asylum-seekers are being "tricked," as many don't get close enough to their final destinations and some are ditched at Union Station near the U.S. Capitol and the White House. Often they arrive with no resources and no clue what to do next.
On Friday, Bowser told reporters that the Pentagon appears to be concerned "about the open-ended nature of our request," and that a more specific one would help.
"We want to continue to work with the Department of Defense so that they understand our operational needs and to assure that political considerations are not a part of their decision," Bowser said, adding that she believes the "crisis" will only worsen. "We need the National Guard. If we were a state, I would have already done it."
A coalition of local charitable groups has been working to feed and shelter the migrants, aided by a $1 million grant from FEMA. But organizers have been warning that both their resources and personnel were nearing exhaustion.
"This reliance on NGOs is not working and is unsustainable — they are overwhelmed and underfunded," Bowser said in her letter. She has repeatedly stated that the influx is stressing her government's ability to care for its own homeless residents and now requires a federal response.
Bowser sharply criticized Abbott and Ducey, accusing them of "cruel political gamesmanship" and saying the pair had "decided to use desperate people to score political points."
Explaining his decision to add New York City as a destination, Abbott said that Biden's "refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies" forced Texas to "take unprecedented action to keep our communities safe."
He said the migrants are being dropped off at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
"In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city," Abbott said.
In response, Fabien Levy, spokesman for Adams, tweeted that Abbott's "continued use of human beings as political pawns is disgusting. NYC will continue to welcome asylum seekers w/ open arms, as we have always done, but we still need support from DC."
As mayor of D.C., Bowser does not have the authority to personally order a National Guard deployment, an issue that has become emotionally charged in recent years as a symbol of the district's entrenched status as less than a state.
Her limited authority played a role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump. When it became clear that Capitol Police were overmatched by the crowds, Bowser couldn't immediately deploy the district guard. Instead, crucial time was lost while the request was considered inside the Pentagon, and protesters rampaged through the building.

Russia's LUKoil stops Iran work due to US sanctions
۵ فروردین ۱۳۸۹
Russian oil company OAO LUKoil Holdings said Wednesday its Iranian project was abandoned due to US sanctions, as pressure starts hurting investments from countries considered close to the Islamic Republic.
The LUKoil company issued a statement saying it had stopped further work on the Anaran project "because of the economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. government." It blamed the sanctions for a loss of some $63 million last year and said it feared more losses if it continued to carry on the project.
The Anaran field (western Iran), with estimated oil reserves of 2 billion barrels, was operated by a consortium of Norwegian StatoilHydro (75 per cent) and LUKoil Overseas (25 per cent). LUKoil Overseas head Stanislav Kuzyev has clarified that his company retains its rights in the project and would be ready to return "under more favourable economic circumstances."
The news of the LUKoil pullout came hours after a senior Russian diplomat said "clouds are gathering" over Tehran's reluctance to accept a United Nations offer to replace fuel for an atomic reactor.
"Iran's position leaves less and less room for diplomatic manoeuvre," the diplomat told foreign media on condition of anonymity. The diplomat, however, said Russia would not support "paralysing sanctions" that could "punish 70 million Iranians".

5 Time-Saving Laundry Tips
Between sorting, washing, pouring, transferring, drying and folding, laundry can often feel like a daunting chore. While you can't skip laundry completely, you can stop those baskets from overflowing with these time-saving tips.
5 Time-Saving Laundry Tips
(Family Features) Between sorting, washing, pouring, transferring, drying and folding, laundry can often feel like a daunting chore.
While you can't skip laundry completely, you can stop those baskets from overflowing with these time-saving tips from the laundry experts at Whirlpool.
Sort clothes ahead of time. One way to make laundry more manageable is to sort as you go. Instead of tossing dirty clothes into a hamper, distribute items into separate bins. While the exact division depends on your wardrobe, you'll want to separate dark and light colors, as well as clothing that needs special care.
Pretreat stains. Once a stained garment makes its way through the dryer, chances are the stain is set for life. Protect your clothes by pretreating stains as soon as possible to help keep even the toughest stains from setting in. If you're unsure of how to treat a particular stain, such as spaghetti sauce or grass, Whirlpool offers a Stain Guide within its laundry app that provides helpful, step-by-step instructions*.
Keep your space organized. Just like it's hard to cook in a messy kitchen or work at a cluttered desk, you're less likely to be productive in a sloppy laundry room. Clean and organize your laundry area periodically so you have easy access to the supplies you need and a clean surface for folding fresh laundry or switching loads.
Take advantage of technology. New smart home technology is making laundry faster and easier, such as Whirlpool's Smart Front Load Laundry Pair with the Load & Go™ dispenser. This innovative feature allows you to skip a step in your laundry routine by eliminating the need to measure out and add detergent every time you start a load for up to 40 loads**.
Whether you are on the run or across the room, you can control your washer and dryer using an app on your smartphone or a compatible voice-enabled device for hands-free assistance. You can track how much time is left on your load while cooking dinner, assign washing settings while enjoying family movie night or begin a cycle when running errands. Touch-screen technology also guides you to the correct washer or dryer presets, or you can pre-program cycles of your own to tackle specific care settings for items like baby clothing or bulky comforters.
Finish with ease. For some, it's not the washing that makes laundry a drag, it's the folding. Hitting the tumble button to shake out wrinkles is one solution, but there are alternatives. Use your dryer's end-of-cycle buzzer as an easy way to keep track of when a load needs your attention or make folding a fun game with your family.
Find more information at whirlpool.com.
*Wi-Fi and app required. Features subject to change. Appliance must be set to Remote Enable for remote control capabilities. Details and privacy info at whirlpool.com/connect.

Customized changes in your house are welcome modifications, whether you've lived in your home for decades or you're just a new homeowner. Redesigning your new home so its elements can suit your style and making necessary repairs to older homes are both exciting and challenging projects. However, renovations can also be expensive. Before jumping into a new home renovation project, you should plan carefully how you're going to pay for it. Here are some clever considerations on how you can fund your next home renovation project:
Plan Your Project and Estimate the Cost
As the popular adage goes: Failing to plan is planning to fail. Every home renovation project should start with a game plan, so you can successfully anticipate problems, schedule work, and make modifications to help you see those plans come into fruition. Planning your home renovation project includes identifying what specific parts you want to modify. Next, you have to make a list of the materials that you will need. Consider if you're going the DIY route or you're hiring a contractor. Labor costs can increase your expenses, so make a detailed list to ensure you do not go over your budget. The last thing you want to happen is for your project to cease because you run out of funds midway through its completion.
Find the Funds
Since money doesn't grow on trees, finding the money to fund those home renovations is a primary consideration. You can opt to sell high-value items like jewelry, designer bags, or premium gadgets to help augment your home renovation budget. Perhaps, you've saved your company Christmas bonus, so you can tap those funds. But if money is tight, consider these ideas: Refinance your mortgage, take a home equity loan, crowdsource, or take a personal line of credit. There is no shame in borrowing because this renovation is a good investment that increases your property's value. In fact, statistics indicate that 50 percent of projects costing over $5,000 use some form of financing.
Consider a Side Hustle
It may not be a bad idea to take on an extra gig after your regular 9-to-5 job. Earning extra from a side hustle will help save you more money, which you can use for your home renovation projects. Popular side hustles include freelance writing, making videos, tutoring kids, selling home-baked goods, and many more. If you have a spare room or extra garage space, you can even consider renting those out to supplement your income.
When renovating parts of your home, it's important to work with a budget. You don't want to run out of money in the middle of a project. Remember, there are numerous ways to get creative with earning additional income. Just do your research before you begin your renovation project to figure out how to fund it and you should be good to go!
Creating a Spa Oasis
Transforming your bathroom into a personal home spa allows you to come home to a relaxing environment every day. By making space and removing clutter, along with adding decorative touches, you can achieve a stylish spa-like atmosphere in the comfort of your own home.
Creating a Spa Oasis
(Family Features) Transforming your bathroom into a personal home spa allows you to come home to a relaxing environment every day. By making space and removing clutter, along with adding decorative touches, you can achieve a stylish spa-like atmosphere in the comfort of your own home.
Whether you enjoy the understated, nature-inspired colors or the calming atmosphere, a spa-like bathroom can be beautiful, welcoming and relaxing. Escape the ordinary with these cabinetry ideas from the experts at Wellborn Cabinet.
Float your vanity
Although the aesthetic benefits often come at the cost of limited under-sink storage space, this potential pitfall can be overcome with a customizable U-shaped drawer option designed to fit around the sink plumbing in your bath, allowing you to use all that under-counter space.
Clever, concealed storage
To get the spa-like bathroom look, consider adding organizational solutions like a tiered spice rack, sliding shelves and vanity appliance pullouts from Wellborn Cabinet. A tiered spice rack keeps your cabinets organized and makes your morning routine easier. Sliding shelves can make your mornings less hectic with a gentle pull that brings bath essentials right to you. Conveniently store hairstyling tools in one location without compromising design or space with a vanity appliance pullout.
Incorporate ample lighting
Lighting in the bathroom is essential; illumination for everyday tasks can make your bath appear larger, add warmth and set the right mood. It may also be designed to tuck cleanly inside and under cabinets to provide well-placed light without visible fixtures or distracting wires.
Infuse natural elements

Muong Hoa Valley
Muong Hoa Valley is one of the most famous destinations for breathtaking scenery and is the largest farmland for rice growing in Sapa. The distance from Sapa Town to Muong hoa Valley is 14 kilometers. Going to visit Muong Hoa Valley, you can trek along Muong Hoa River sneaking through the valley nearby Sapa town. This valley lies between two high ranges of mountains running in the parallel south-east of Sapa town. The beautiful Muong Hoa valley is home to residence of many ethnic groups; such as H'mong, Zao, Zay minority groups; which contains great natural beauty alluring tourists from all over the world.
Muong Hoa Valley - Ethnic Groups
Apart from the poetic beauty, Muong Hoa Valley also attracts the attention of tourists with the mysterious ancient rocks located among the greenery and rice terraces of the ethnic minorities here. Spreading over more than 4km long, 2km wide, at least 159 rocks containing numerous mysterious patterns is the rendezvous of many research scientists at home and abroad. Today, the ancient carving area is ranked national relics, the unique heritage of the ancient Vietnamese people. Almost all of populations of ancient rock field with beautiful carvings has concentrated in Ban Pho Village. With the large rocks, there are many carvings on the surface expressing unique meanings. Most of scientists evaluate that this is a great heritage of mankind, not only in terms of aesthetic value but also spiritual significance.

Follow this flower Illustrator tutorial and learn how to create simple flower illustrations with the help of the Gradient Mesh function in Adobe Illustrator.
We will start with the shape of the petal and then, using the Gradient Mesh, we will add the mesh points and color it. After this, we will compose the flower followed by the stamens in the center. For them, we will use a custom Scatter Brush, along with the Transform effect and the Gradient Mesh of course.
We will continue by adding details on the petals with the help of the Blend Tool, Pucker & Bloat, and Transform effects. We'll finish by adding shadows and trying other color versions to make beautiful flower illustrations.
If you don't have the time to learn how to make a flower in Illustrator, you can always try Envato Elements, where you can find plenty of flower vector designs to choose from. Here's just one of the many flower vector art examples:
Prefer video tutorials instead? Then you should visit the Envato Tuts+ YouTube channel to find the best free video tutorials! Here's a new video you can watch to learn how to make a flower in Illustrator:
What You'll Learn in This Flower Illustrator Tutorial
- How to create and edit a Gradient Mesh
- How to create a vector flower
- How to quickly recolor a flower
- How to create a vector leaf
1. How to Start a New Project
To make a flower in Illustrator, let's start with a new project. Launch Illustrator and go to File > New to open a new blank document. Type a name and set up the dimensions, and then select Pixels as the Units and RGB as the Color Mode.
Now, go to Edit > Preferences > General and set the Keyboard Increment to 1 px. While there, go to Units & Display Performance and set the Units as in the image. I usually work with these settings, and they will help you throughout the drawing process.
Enable the Grid (View > Show Grid or Control-") and Snap to Grid (View > Snap to Grid or Shift-Control-"). You will need a grid every 1 px, so go to Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid, and enter 1 in the Gridline every box and 1 in the Subdivisions box. Try not to get discouraged by all that grid—it will make your work easier, and keep in mind that you can easily enable or disable it using the Control-" keyboard shortcut.
2. How to Create the Shape of the Petal
Step 1
The simple flower design starts with a petal. First, grab the Ellipse Tool (L) and draw an 18 x 75 px ellipse with a simple stroke. Continue with the Anchor Point Tool (Shift-C) and click the bottom anchor point to turn it into a sharp point.
Now, using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select only the anchor point at the bottom and move it about 9 px down and 1 px to the left.
Step 2
Starting from the shape obtained in the previous step, you can create different petals. So, before you continue, make a copy (Control-C > Control-V) and keep it for the second petal.
Now, use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select only the anchor point on the left, and move it a little to the left. Also move the handles as indicated. You can make extra adjustments if you want, but the petal is pretty much ready. I will name this shape "petal 1".
Step 3
Grab the copy that I mentioned earlier and modify it to create the second petal. With the Anchor Point Tool (A), click the left and right points, and then drag the handles as shown in the following image. Move the handles of the top point as shown below, and use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to adjust just the left handle as shown. I will name the shape "petal 2".
You can create only one petal, but for variety I decided to go with two.
Step 4
Now you have the two petals.
Select "petal 2" and then go to Object > Create Gradient Mesh, select 3 Rows and 3 Columns, and hit OK. Your petal should look like the one below at this point.
Step 5
Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), you can select each mesh point and color it. In this case, we're using shades of pink. Follow the color codes to replace the gray fill of each point with the colors indicated, and keep in mind that you can hold down the Shift key to easily select multiple points.
At the end, the petal should look like in the next image.
Step 6
Next, select "petal 1" and go to Object > Create Gradient Mesh. Select 4 Rows and 3 Columns and hit OK.
Step 7
Following the first example, you can color the petal using shades of pink again.
Step 8
Feel free to disable the Grid (Control-") and the Snap to Grid (Shift-Control-"). Multiply "petal 1" and "petal 2" and then rotate and arrange them as indicated to create the flower.
At the beginning, create the first layer, and then arrange more petals above, and finally for the third layer, just fill the remaining empty spaces.
3. How to Create the Center of the Illustrator Flower
Step 1
Now it's looking more like a flower shape design. Grab the Ellipse Tool (L), draw a 25 x 25 px circle, and select brown as the fill color.
With the circle still selected, go to Effect > Stylize and apply the Outer Glow effect using the settings shown below. This will make sense once the stamen is ready.
Step 2
With the Ellipse Tool (L), draw a small circle and give it a black fill. Drag this circle to the Brushes panel and choose Scatter Brush. Leave the settings as they are and just hit OK.
Step 3
Draw a new circle with the dimensions indicated, and give it a 1 pt black Stroke. Also Stroke the circle with the Scatter Brush saved in the previous step.
Step 4
With the circle selected, go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform and apply the settings shown below. You can't really see the result, but we'll get there.
Step 5
With the circle still selected, go to the Object menu and choose Expand Appearance in order to expand the brush stroke and the effect applied. Fill the resulting group with the radial gradient indicated.
Step 6
Now, take a closer look at this group. Go to the Layers panel, locate the group, and open it. You will see that it's composed of many other groups of circles arranged in order, from the outside to the center (very small circles).
Step 7
Next, we will rearrange all these groups. The first group of circles (from the outside) remains as is. Select the second group from the Layers panel, and then go to Object > Transform > Rotate, set the Angle to 10 degrees, and hit OK. Do not release the group yet, and go to Object > Arrange > Bring to Front (Shift-Control-]).
Step 8
Now, select the third group of circles from the Layers panel and go to Object > Arrange > Bring to Front (Shift-Control-]). This time, we won't rotate the group.
Step 9
Select the fourth group of circles, and then Rotate 10 degrees and Bring it to Front as you did with the second group. The fifth group you just have to Bring it to Front. You've got this!
The point is to bring each group in front of the previous one (invert the existing order) and also rotate every second group in order to get the specific look.
Continue with the remaining groups, and the center of your flower should look like the next image.
Step 10
Move the entire group to the center of the flower and scale it to about the size of the brown circle.
Step 11
Use the Ellipse Tool (L) to draw a circle above the stamens. Mine was about 25 x 25 px. Select black as the fill color, and then go to Object > Create Gradient Mesh, choose 2 Rows and 2 Columns, and hit OK.
Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select only the mesh point from the center and replace the black fill color with white. Set this circle to Blending Mode Overlay and 40–50% Opacity.
4. How to Add Details to the Illustrator Flower
Step 1
Let's add details to the simple flower design. Draw two circles with the Ellipse Tool (L) with the dimensions 45 x 45 px and 9 x 9 px. Fill both circles with black, but set the bigger circle to 0% Opacity.
With both of them selected, go to Object > Blend > Blend Options and choose 20 Specified Steps, and then hit OK. Go back to Object > Blend > Make (Alt-Control-B). Move the resulting blend group behind the stamens but in front of the petals.
Step 2
Select the same blend group, go to Effect > Distort & Transform, and apply the Pucker & Bloat effect. Don't release the group yet, and go back to Effect > Distort & Transform to apply the Transform effect this time. Finally, lower the Opacity of the blend group to 10–20%.
Step 3
You can see here a before and after screenshot, but we are not done yet.
Step 4
Draw two more circles with the dimensions 45 x 45 px and 9 x 9 px. Fill both circles with black. Select the bigger circle and go to Object > Path > Add Anchor Points to add four extra points on the path (more points mean more spikes in the next step).
Also, set the bigger circle to 0% Opacity. Blend them using 20 Specified Steps and move the resulting blend group behind the stamens.
Step 5
With the blend group from the previous step selected, apply the Pucker & Bloat effect and then the Transform effect. Set the group to Blending Mode Overlay and 40–50% Opacity.
Step 6
Here is a before and after screenshot of the flower shape design:
5. How to Add a Shadow Behind the Illustrator Flower
Step 1
Select all the petals, go to Object > Path > Offset Path, and apply a 0 px Offset. As a result, you will get the shapes of the petals but without the mesh points and lines.
Step 2
Select all the petal shapes obtained in the previous step and press Add in the Pathfinder panel.
You will get a compound path, but go to Object > Compound Path > Release and delete the small shapes in the center. You only need the outline, and I will name it "flower-shape".
Step 3
Before you continue, make a copy of the "flower-shape" because you will need it later for a mask. Now, with the original shape selected, go to Object > Transform > Scale, type 109% in the Scale field, and hit OK.
Next, with the Ellipse Tool (L), draw a circle about the size of the stamens. Fill both shapes with the color indicated, but set the "flower-shape" to 3% Opacity.
Step 4
Select the "flower-shape" and the circle. Go to Object > Blend > Blend Options, choose 30 Specified Steps, and hit OK. Go back to Object > Blend > Make (Alt-Control-B).
Send the resulting blend group behind everything by going to Object > Arrange > Send to Back (Shift-Control-[).
At this point, I thought that the shadow was too sharp, so I also applied a 2 px Gaussian Blur (Effect > Blur > Gaussian Blur), but this is optional.
6. How to Add Shadows Between the Petals
Step 1
You don't need to add shadows to all the petals, but only for those on top (the third layer from step 3.5). Select each petal, and then go to Effect > Stylize and apply the Drop Shadow effect. Enter the settings below and click OK.
Step 2
We only want the shadows between the petals where they overlap and not on the outside, because there we have the flower's shadow. To fix this, we will use a mask.
Take the copy of the "flower-shape" that I mentioned earlier and move it in front of the petals with the help of the Layers panel. Now, select this shape (fill-none, stroke-none) and also the group of petals and go to Object > Clipping Mask > Make (Control-7).
Step 3
At this point, the pink flower is ready and should look like the next image:
7. How to Try Different Colors
Step 1
You saw how to make a flower in Illustrator, but you'll also see how to change the colors of the beautiful flower illustration. Imagine replacing all the shades of pink that you have used for the mesh points of the petals. Crazy, right? Well, you can easily create other color versions of the same flower with the help of the Recolor Artwork function.
First, make a copy of the pink flower, and then go to the Layers panel and select only the group of petals without the mask. Now, go to Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork, press the Edit tab, press the Link harmony colors option, and select RGB mode. Type in the shade of purple indicated and hit OK. As a result, your pink petals will turn into purple petals.
Step 2
Make another copy of the pink flower, and then select only the group of petals and go to Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork. This time, use the color indicated, and you'll get a coral-colored flower.
Step 3
The same thing goes for the orange flower.
8. How to Add a Vector Leaf
Step 1
Lastly, this simple flower illustration needs a leaf. Pick the Ellipse Tool (L) and use it to create a 50 x 150 px shape. Turn the top point into a sharp point using the Anchor Point Tool (Shift-C), and then use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select the left and right anchor points. Hold down the Shift key and press the Down Arrow key twice to easily move your selected points 20 px down, as shown in the third image.
Step 2
Make sure that your shape is still selected and go to Object > Create Gradient Mesh, select 4 Rows and 3 Columns, and hit OK.
Step 3
Use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select each mesh point and color it as shown in the following image.
Step 4
Pick the Line Segment Tool (\) and use it to create a 150 px vertical path, as shown below.
Add a 5 pt stroke and set the color to R=26 G=67 B=17, and then open the Stroke fly-out panel to select Width Profile 4 from the drop-down menu.
Lower the Opacity of this path to 70% and change the Blending Mode to Soft Light.
Step 5
Select the mesh and the lines that make up your leaf and press Control-G to Group them. Send this group to back (Shift-Control-[), rotate it, and place it below your flower, as shown below.
Step 6
Make sure that your leaf is still selected and go to Effect > Warp > Flag. Enter the attributes shown below and click OK, and then go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform.
First of all, make sure that you're checking the top-left reference point. Drag both Scale sliders to 90%, set the Angle to 40 degrees and the number of copies to 1, and then click OK.
Step 7
Finally, you can add the same leaf design for the rest of your flower designs.

With a plethora of golf courses and museums, the largest shopping mall in North America, and more than 30 festivals each year, it's no wonder Edmonton is a must see destination for anyone visiting Canada.
Also known as Canada's Festival City, the jolly capital of Alberta has plenty to see and do for all kinds of visitors, from outdoor lovers to culture vultures.
North Saskatchewan River Valley
Featuring 20 parks, a wonderful choice of attractions, and an area 22 times larger than Central Park in New York, Edmonton's North Saskatchewan River Valley is clearly one of the main tourist attractions in the city.
Undoubtedly the largest system of urban parks on the continent, this fabulous expanse of ravines, lakes, golf courses, ski slopes, and thrilling multi-use trails, is an absolute delight for everyone looking to spend time outside, from families with kids to adventure lovers and wildlife photographers.
Old Strathcona
Another interesting place in town is Old Strathcona, one of Edmonton's most bohemian and happening districts. The area is overflowing with cultural events, excellent bars and restaurants, art galleries, and funky shopping venues.
Nevertheless, Old Strathcona is especially famous for being the city's art and entertainment hub, being home to a pulsating independent theater scene and a fantastic selection of art-related boutiques.
For some of the finest shops, restaurants, bars, street performers, and late night entertainment, head to the vibrant Whyte Avenue, where most of the action takes place.
Shopping, Culture, and Sightseeing
Make sure you don't miss the world-famous West Edmonton Mall – the largest shopping and entertainment center in North America, or the amazing Fort Edmonton Park, also known as Canada's largest living history museum.
For a taste of the city's thriving art and culture scene, head to the Arts District, with its nice buildings and lively Churchill Square, or visit some of Edmonton's best museums – Royal Alberta Museum and the modern Art Gallery of Alberta.
Equally alluring is the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village – an extraordinary open-air museum that tells the story of the Ukrainian immigrants who settled here between 1892 and 1930.
Edmonton's Festivals and Events
And because Edmonton has gained the reputation of Canada's Festival City, and with good reason, here are some of the best and most famous events that take place here throughout the year:
Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival – the oldest and largest fringe theater festival on the continent, held each August in the Old Strathcona District.
Edmonton Folk Music Festival – an excellent four-day outdoor music event featuring everything from folk to jazz, rock, and worldbeat genres. It takes place each August in Edmonton's Gallagher Park.
A Taste of Edmonton – the city's most popular food festival, taking place each June in the beautiful Winston Churchill Square.
Additional festivals include the K-Days parade, Edmonton International Street Performers Festival, Edmonton Pride Festival, the colorful Cariwest Caribbean Arts Festival, Edmonton Dragon Boat Festival, and Nextfest – a dynamic event dedicated to the city's next generation of artists.

Employers are learning the hard way! More and more organizations are acknowledging a critical fact . . . Finding ways to retain valuable employees must begin before an experienced and talented worker is entertaining an offer from someone else.
And things aren't getting any easier for employers. A recent Harris and Associates survey shows that more than 50 percent of workers expect to change jobs within the next five years!
Furthermore, rapid staff turnover is expected to escalate. That means that just when companies are devoting more time to finding new talent, they have to find ways to encourage current employees to stay.
Managers can no longer afford to take for granted the steady, productive employee who is a good, if unrecognized quality performer. Sadly, they have been provided very little by way of mentoring or appreciation. So, managers are contributing, often unwittingly, to the turnover.
The good news is that, if you are considering a job or career change you can make this dynamic work in your favor in two ways:
1. If 50% of your fellow employees are contemplating a job or career change in the next five years, so are 50% in other organizations. This spells opportunity for you.
2. You have added leverage to upgrade your job status both within your own organization as well as in a prospective new work environment.
The secret to using these changes effectively is to always know what your options are. For example, you can stay on top of the ever-changing job marketplace with RSS! Don't miss out on critical career news and innovative job search strategies. Stay informed! It's so easy to have immediate access to current trends and alerts. If you go to our website, simply click on RSS.
You know, your current job and future career advancement provides the fuel that drives your lifestyle. If you don't believe that, check out the sometimes catastrophic impact of losing your job.
So you want to nurture your job status and career growth like you would an investment. The escalation of staff turnover is another workforce dynamic that can work for you!

Luxury TAG Heuer replica watch can be said to be synonymous with motorsports. As of 2020, it has been the official timekeeper for the NTT IndyCar series and its iconic Indianapolis 500 competition for 16 consecutive years.
As a tradition, Cheap TAG Heuer fake watch specially celebrated its cooperation in motorsports by launching a new-designed watch that pays tribute to the legendary bricks near the finish line of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with clever visual effects.
Formula 1 Indy 500 2020 Special Edition Replica Watch
Indy 500 is one of the oldest racing games in the world. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the track has been built of bricks and is affectionately called the "brick field". The "kissing brick" of the victorious driver has become a long tradition in India. The black tri-compound dial of luxury Formula 1 43 mm Indy 500 2020 replica watch is famous for its asphalt-like pattern and brick-based red stripes on the right, the remnants of the famous "brick factory" and its graphical depiction of history.
The case of the best replica watch with a diameter of 43 mm is made of black DLC-coated steel with a sandblasted surface. The fixed tachometer scale frame is made of black sandblasted ceramics and carries a red "Indy 500" logo. The hands, numbers and indexes are rhodium-plated and coated with white Super-LumiNova.
On the back cover of the cheap replica watch's screw-in black PVD steel back cover, there is a special engraving of Indy 500, hour, minute, small second (3 o'clock), date (4:30), and 1/10 second. Chronograph.
The elapsed minute and hour readings of the replica watch are 9 o'clock and 6 o'clock respectively. The latter sub-dial is printed with the Indy 500 logo and is used as a 1/10 second counter. Both sub-dials have a subtle blue pattern, which contrasts sharply with the asphalt texture of the main dial.

Gulag Bound
As in previous United Nations climate agreement talks, this week's conference in Paris is encountering conflict between wealthy and poorer nations. It threatens to sweep their sweeping agreement into the ancient Paris sewer system. They have extended its deadline to this Saturday.
We can pray a solution isn't found in these next few hours that will lock the entire world into one giant leap toward the ultimate imperialism of one-world government. I don't mean that as a figure of speech. We can pray.
To understand the evils of opening the door to further global government, whether based upon the Big Scare of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (which beyond beneficial, is utterly necessary) or whatever other pretext, I suggest firstly reading about the Tower of Babel in the Old Testament, secondly in the New Testament, the attempt to bring the world back together before Christ. Then, thirdly, one can turn to the Agenda 21 articles in Gulag Bound, perhaps beginning with "The Plan: Agenda 21, Death Knell of Liberty."
Tonight's snapshot in Paris this weekend:
Paris Climate Change Negotiations To Enter An Extra Day
Amid Disputes, Critical Paris Climate Talks Run Overtime
Climate deal imminent, France says, in 'step forward for humanity'
