![]() The Nike Dunk Low Seoul I is set to drop on August 12th for a retail price of $110. I mean, it still reads Nike, but it’s a nice touch for sneaker collectors looking for yet another reason to buy another Dunk. Since the sneaker is a tribute to its market, Nike didn’t just stop at borrowing the flag’s colors, they’ve also swapped out their own iconic Nike branding at the heel with Hangul. The sneaker’s right pair inverts the heel tab, outsole, and swoosh colors. HBX HBXĭropping as a South Korean market exclusive, and available worldwide through the power of the internet, the Nike Dunk Low Seoul borrows the colors of the South Korean flag for a dope Dunk make-up that combines black leather paneling over a bright white upper with an eye-catching red wraparound swoosh and a blue outsole and heel tab. Pick up a pair at HBX or other Off-White retailers. The Off-White 5.0 is out now for a retail price of $433. Congratulations, Virgil Abloh (as if he was waiting for our approval)! The low top 5.0 features a white textile upper with leather paneling, suede mudguards, and an asymmetric design on the sneaker’s tongue with a zebra-like marbled black and white zip tie to round out the design. Generally, when we’re talking about Off-White products on SNX it’s in relation to a Nike collaboration, but this time around we’re actually shouting out a product released directly by the Off-White label. Todd Snyder Todd Snyder Todd Snyder Off-White 5.0 HBX The Todd Snyder New Balance 327 Farmer’s Market set is out now for a retail price of $150, pick up a pair exclusively at Todd Snyder’s online store or in-person at the Madison Park Todd Snyder store. If we had to pick a favorite, we’re going pineapple all the way, baby! Each sneaker features a split color scheme with inverted colors on the opposing shoe. The 327 features suede paneling over a mesh base, make this sneaker relatively light on the feet and breathable while keeping in line with its summer-celebrating design. I mean, pineapples and pomegranates are both fruits, but I’m not going to hold it against Todd Snyder. Utilizing the New Balance 327 (arguably the brand’s best silhouette) the Farmer’s Market pack drops in three colorways inspired by the colors of wheat, pineapple, and pomegranate, each with a unique tongue icon that matches the color’s food group - grains, fruit, and vegetables. So I’m loving this New York Farmer’s Market-inspired three-pack from Todd Snyder and New Balance. Todd Snyder New Balance 327 Farmer’s Market Todd SnyderĪnytime a sneaker designer takes left-field inspiration, I’m instantly sold.

![]() ![]() ![]() Inclusion criteria included having single eyelids and having not used a double eyelid tape for the past six months.Īll participants received written and oral information about the study and gave informed consent. Participants were females of Chinese ancestry, aged between 18–29 years old recruited via purposive sampling. Thus, the current study was conducted to determine: (1) blinking characteristics (blink pattern and blink rate), (2) ocular surface health (presence of corneal abrasion, corneal staining, conjunctival staining, corneal curvatures, Meibomian gland dysfunction), (3) tear break-up time, (4) intraocular pressure, and (5) subjective comfort level, all in young females with single eyelid, wearing double eyelid tape for four weeks. Although the adverse effects of conventional eye cosmetics have been reported, there are no published data on the effects of prolonged wear of double-sided eyelid tape on anterior ocular health and comfort. As ocular health and comfort are associated with one’s quality of life, the use of double eyelid tape raises questions as to whether it alters the user’s blinking pattern thus leading to lipid deficiency dry eye syndrome, or changes in corneal curvature and intraocular pressure (IOP) due to a possible compression from the artificially created eyelid fold. The use of conventional eye cosmetics, such as mascara, is known to cause ocular discomfort such as dry eyes with various ocular complications including corneal trauma. This is better than surgical procedures, i.e., blepharoplasty, to achieve the double eyelid effect, as the tape can be removed, and the effect is not permanent. The second type uses double-sided eyelid tape or liquid glue, which creates a fold by attaching to the eyelid skin. It can be categorized into two main types: single-sided and double-sided. ĭouble eyelid ‘makeup’ is commonly used by Asians to create an artificial fold on the upper eyelid thus creating the double eyelid effect temporarily. Therefore, cosmetic products or surgical approaches are sought after by East Asians to obtain this ideal image. Due to the influence of westernizing trends among eastern cultures, big and round eyes became an ideal image for Asian females. ĭifferent ethnicities may have different views on standards of beauty. The prevalence of Asians born with double eyelid is 50%, while the prevalence of double eyelid among Malaysians with Malay and Chinese ethnicity is 100% and 70.1%, respectively. These can be differentiated through external observation: single eyelid has no apparent lid crease, low eyelid crease has a low-seated, nasal tapered crease with hidden fold, and double eyelid has a well-formed supra-tarsal crease. The appearances of the ‘East Asian eyelid’ can be categorized into three main categories: single eyelid, low eyelid crease, and double eyelid. People with Chinese ancestry can be easily recognized by the unique appearance of the eye as they have a narrower vertical palpebral fissure and an absence of a supra-tarsal fold compared to other races. Therefore, patients and eye care practitioners should be aware of the potential implications of double eyelid tape wear on ocular health, with no significant change in subjective comfort.įacial structure and appearance can be distinguished between different ethnicities due to genetics. There was no significant change in symptoms and subjective comfort level reported. By week 3, all participants had incomplete blinks. ![]() There was a significant increase in conjunctival staining, corneal staining, and meibomian gland dysfunction, with a significant reduction in tear break-up time and intraocular pressure. The parameters were re-measured at the end of each week. Participants were required to apply the double eyelid tape for at least eight hours a day and five days a week for four weeks. The participants’ anterior ocular health was examined including blinking characteristics (blink pattern and blink rate), ocular surface health (presence of corneal abrasion, corneal staining, conjunctival staining, corneal curvatures, meibomian gland dysfunction), tear break up time, intraocular pressure, and subjective comfort level. Twenty-nine participants who met the inclusion criteria were recruited. This study evaluated the effects of four-week wear of double eyelid tape on anterior ocular health in young adult women with single eyelids. Many East Asians apply double eyelid tape to create the double eyelid effect temporarily as a means of increasing their beauty. ![]() As a music metadata editor, it allows you to edit audio files in MP3, M4A, APE, FLAC, WAV, OGG, ASF, DSD, WMA, WMV, and more.

In both cases it seems for itunes and Rekordbox (and likely a bunch of other music apps) they see competitive advantage in locking users in to their propriety format or database. It ignores the Windows ID3 rating tag when importing. But I also know what you're describing about iTunes. But, as the matrix confirms, Rekordbox does not write to the ratings field in any format. All I know is that when I change a rating on an MP3 in Media Monkey or VirtualDJ, then go look at the file details in Windows, the rating is reflected in Windows. I do recall reading something about the ID3 standard being contested over the years by software companies.

Spread a sheet of newspaper on a flat surface, gently rub the seed head and the seeds will fall away easily.Ĭollect them in an envelope or paper bag and store in a dry, cool, dark place until spring when they will be ready to sow and grow once more. Once the petals have faded, cut the flower heads off and store them in a sunny, warm, dry place for another week. Leave the flower head on the stem for at least 2 weeks. Once the flower has faded the sunflower head will have lots of seeds in the centre and these are a great source of food for birds, alternatively you can harvest the seeds and grow them again next year.
