![]() This is one of the five best children’s books I’ve ever read. Sometimes the gifts others have to share are not things we can see they are stories we can carry forever.” I see ‘From the Tops of the Trees’ as a powerful story about how the adults in our lives can feed our dreams - even in the midst of tremendously challenging circumstances - but also as a reminder that even in the lives of refugee children, there is beauty, wisdom, and love to offer the world. She responded, in part: “We need ways of understanding and articulating the different stories of how people come from different places in search of a home. I asked Yang, whom I’ve known and admired for years, what she wants people to understand about this book. … One day my little girl will journey far into the world, to the places her father has never been.” When her father reached the top of that tree, he explained: “Look, the world is bigger than this place. On another, it’s the story of how one father helps his daughter recognize more of the world. On one level, it’s a story of children living difficult lives in a refugee camp. In her new children’s book, “From the Tops of the Trees,” Yang helps youngsters see and understand beyond where they are living – wherever that is.īeautifully illustrated by Rachel Wada, “Trees” is gentle, personal and understated.

We had no early access to the HomePod update that Apple just released, but after some quick installation and testing, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to wait. You can also install it through iTunes, but we recommend the over-the-air update instead due to Apple’s waning interest in iTunes. Once you’ve backed up to iCloud and iTunes (read the referenced article for why we say “and”), install iOS 12 by going to Settings > General > Software Update and tapping Download and Install. iOS 12 varies in size by device: we’ve seen it range from 1.35 GB on a 10.5-inch iPad Pro to 2.26 GB on an iPhone 5s. When you are ready to upgrade, first read “ Get Ready for iOS 12 by Backing Up, Cleaning Up, and Updating Apps” (10 September 2018). But do install iOS 12 before too long, since otherwise you’ll be at risk for newly discovered security vulnerabilities that Apple doesn’t fix for older iOS versions. A few months later, the company usually issues a feature update that will probably be version iOS 12.1. During that time, Apple will likely release a few bug fix updates like iOS 12.0.1 and 12.0.2. If you’re change-averse, there’s no harm-apart from reduced performance and not taking advantage of new and enhanced features like Screen Time and Do Not Disturb-in waiting a few more weeks, or even a month or two. If any widespread issues affect the iOS community, we’ll be sure to pass on the details. That said, you’ve been waiting this long, so what’s another week or two? We recommend holding off on installing iOS 12 for a bit, just to make sure no pressing problems crop up. Josh Centers devoted his summer to Take Control of iOS 12, so you can read that for the full rundown on what’s new and necessary. One TidBITS Talk reader said it solved his iOS 11 battery problems. ![]() We’ve heard from readers with older devices that its performance improvements have given a new lease on life to the iPhone 5s, iPad Air, and the like. Several of us here at TidBITS have been using iOS 12 betas all summer, and it has been a largely positive experience. However, if you generally fall on the cautious side, or if you can’t risk your devices not working perfectly, here’s our advice on when you should think about installing these new versions. ![]() Should you drop everything and download the updates immediately? If you’re an unrepentant early adopter, like many of us here at TidBITS, the answer is, “Obviously!” More power to you! May your downloads be quick and your backups be recent.

![]() So, Is It Even Possible To Remove The Silhouette Challenge Filter? YouTube, however, still has not taken down the alarming number of these tutorials put up by men - some of which that are even monetised for their own benefit. ![]() Similarly, Twitter has suspended the accounts of several people who were taking previously taking requests for Silhouette Challenge videos to edit. Reddit has banned the r/SilhouetteUnfiltered sub-Reddit that was dedicated to posting these edited videos without the red filter. Thankfully, some social platforms have already taken a stand against this invasive wave of video editors violating the consent of these unsuspecting women. I just think this silhouette-removing filter conversation exposes just how much several men still do not understand consent, and still victim blame (“don’t put your videos on the internet then”) despite years of educative conversations around it. Because of all of the things men lack - including ethics and boundaries - they’re never short on audacity.” “Yes, the same men going through extraordinary lengths to be creepy are finger wagging women about what they shouldn’t put on the internet. “When reminded that this is gross, creepy, and non-consenting, men respond that women are always finding ways to make themselves victims and they shouldn’t have been naked on the internet,” Thomas posted to Facebook. Meanwhile, Danyelle Thomas, one concerned woman, voiced her concerns and grievances on Facebook about the alarming number of men trying to justify removing the filters, and even creating tutorials, to violate the consent of so many women. If you don’t want your naked highly visible butt shared on the web. Long story short, red is a primary color that can be easily removed with video editing. PSA: if y’all do the #silhouettechallenge please do not do it completely naked. Similarly, another woman gave a little more information in her warning by explaining that because red is a primary colour, it’s easy to remove with the right software. “Anyone can easily take those images, and revert them back to the original - just know it’s really easy to put it back to the original.” “Just make sure you’re being cognisant of what you’re wearing before you do all the editing for the final product,” Lee warns in the TikTok. The justification? That despite these women quite literally only agreeing to allow people to see a silhouette of their body, they apparently deserve having their consent violated because they chose to partake in the challenge and upload this nude (or semi-nude) content themselves.Īs a result of men just not quite understanding why the obsession with wanting to see non-consenting, and often underage, females naked is an issue, women have had to band together to warn those who are considering making their own Silhouette Challenge.įour days ago, photographer Kai Lee shared some vital information to the women of TikTok regarding the outfits they wear because of the men going out of their way to “revert back”. By tinkering around with the colours, saturation and brightness of the original TikToks, men have been somewhat able to remove the red overlay and reveal more previously hidden details in these silhouette clips.Ī number of the tutorials still up on YouTube. After all, no one can really see the details of their body anyway.Īs a result of this minimal clothing, a large number of men have preyed on these women and have begun trying to remove this filter to uncover their nude bodies. What Are The Men Doing?ĭue to the red filter used in the Silhouette Challenge helping disguise the features of the body, many woman taking part in the challenge opt for minimal to no clothing. But men have since hijacked the trend out of selfishness, and instilled fear into women who have already partaken in the trend causing panic online. ![]() While the trend may seem frivolous to some, everyone has the right to feel sexy and beautiful in their own skin - and if it takes a silly TikTok challenge for that to happen, then so be it. ![]() Even major celebrities like Tiffany Haddish, Common and Lizzo have hopped on the trending, finding comfort in the level of anonymity and freedom the filter brings. As people are hidden by shadows and light in the Silhouette Challenge, it’s easy to understand why so many women feel comfortable participating in the trend. These TikToks are meant to be sexy and mysterious, which is part of the reason why the challenge is so popular. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Stock Ameriphlox Flat Braid trim pattern HT1693 Gimp Trim Pattern Guachero Flat Braid Color Horizon Gimp Trim Pattern Trasierra Flat Braid Color Gilded Grey Gimp Trim Pattern Hynde Flat Braid Color Mist Gimp Trim Pattern Tamaris Flat Braid Color Stone In Stock Ameriphlox Flat Braid trim pattern ET-712/5 Marcovaldo Fabrics Venice Color 8010 Gimp Fabric Trim MAVeniceGimp8010īy the Yard Interior Decorating Fabric Brush Trim Pattern Naples Color 6431 NBF6431īy the Yard Interior Decorative Fabric Brush Trim Pattern Florence Color 9080 FBR9080 Marcovaldo Fabrics Venice Color 8010 Brush Fabric Fringe MAVeniceBrush8010 Marcovaldo Fabrics Venice Color 8057 Gimp Fabric Trim MAVeniceGimp8057 Marcovaldo Fabrics Venice Color 8057 Brush Fabric Fringe MAVeniceBrush8057 Marcovaldo Fabrics Lombardi Color 7550 Brush Skirt Fabric Fringe BFLOMBARDI7550SKIRT Marcovaldo Fabrics Lombardi Color 7550 Brush Fabric Fringe BFLB7550 Marcovaldo Fabrics Naples Color 6407 Green Brush Fabric Fringe MANAPLESBF6407 Marcovaldo Fabrics Naples Color 6423 Brown Brush Fabrc Fringe MANAPLESBF6423 ![]() Marcovaldo Fabrics Lombardi Color 7400 Gimp MALG7400 Marcovaldo Fabrics Lombardi Color 7450 Gimp MALJ7450J10 Gimp Trim Pattern 414 Titan Flat Braid Color 238 Stingray G09īy the Yard Interior Decorating Fabric Braid Trim Pattern Florence Color 9120 FB9120īy the Yard Interior Decorative Fabric Braid Trim Pattern Florence Color 9080 FB9080 Gimp Trim Pattern Capri Flat Braid Color 4007 G07 Gimp Trim Pattern 614 Flat Braid Color 405 G06 Home Decorating Band Gimp Fabric Trim Pattern Matera Color Noir by the yard Gimp Trim Pattern Multi Color Marigold G02 Saffron Route Black Gold Cream Fringe T072605-004 In Stock Ameriphlox Brush trim pattern 17491749 In Stock Ameriphlox Brush Trim Pattern 2720/5Ĭobalt Blue and Jasmine Stripe Brush Fringe In Stock Ameriphlox Brush trim patterns 2316 & 2846/5ĭouble Brush Fringe color Darkgreen and Rosybrown Messina 101 White & Cadet Blue Decorator Brush Trim from Erie Islands Fabrics Collection MessinaBrush101 Genova 798 Black, White & Sand Decorator Brush Trim from Erie Islands Fabrics Collection GenovaBrush798 ![]() Roma 921 Taupe and Sand Decorator Brush Trim from Erie Islands Fabrics Collection RomaBrush921 Roma 964 Black and White Decorator Brush Trim from Erie Islands Fabrics Collection RomaBrush964BW ![]() Home Decor Brown Green Two Tone Brush Fringe Pattern 3406 Color 769ĭecorative Two Tone Brush Fabric Fringe Trim Pattern 3406 Color 765 by the yardĭecorative Brush Fringe Color Winter Wheat Taupe and Off White Upholstery Fabric Tassel Trim by the yardĭecorative Brush Fringe Trim Pattern M1 Color 7097Įuropatex Decorative Brush Fringe Fabric Trim Color Treasure By the Yard EtJY415TreasureBrushĭecorative Brush Fabric Trim Color 545 by the yard Looped Decorative Trim with Boucle EIFBC4032-38/40PacificIslander Home Decorating Brush Fringe Trim Pattern 2906 Color 506īrush Trim Pattern 402 Andromeda Fringe Color 590 Squid BF18īy the Yard Interior Decorating Fabric Brush Trim Pattern Florence Color 9120 FB9120brush Home Decorating Brush Fringe Trim Pattern 3206 Color 530īrush Trim Pattern Empire E91 Fringe Color Ivory Mix BF11īrush Trim Pattern Opulence Fringe Color Treasure BF12īrush Trim Pattern Sunvalley Fringe Color Eggplant BF15īrush Trim Pattern 402 Andromeda Fringe Color 238 Stingray BF17īrush Fringe in Aquamarine, Azure and Salmon Decorative Brush, Braid, Fringe and Gimp SelectionsDecorative, Brush, Braid, Fringe, Gimp, Tassel, Trim, home, decor, interior, decorating, decorator, discount, designer, fabric, tassels, trims, collection, sale, discounted, by, yard, cut, yardageĭecorative Brush Braid Fringe and Gimp Selections, from our discount interior decorator & designer home decor decorating fabric and beaded tassels, trims, fringe and gimp design collection, by the yard cut yardageīrush Trim Pattern Opulence Color Putty BF01īrush Trim Pattern Sunvalley Color Revere BF02īrush Trim Pattern Barone Color 6 Tan BF03ĭouble Brush Fringe color Goldenrod and Ivoryīrush Trim Pattern Messina Color 204 BF05īrush Trim Pattern Barone 6 Color Gold BF06īrush Trim Pattern 196855 Robe 02 Color 90424 Marigold 2" BF07 ![]() ![]() “Shell scripting is generally considered to be a glue language, ideal for creating small pieces of code that connect other tools together.
