What a unique home! Have you ever seen gardens like this? It's a 1966 mid century modern in Eugene, OR. 3bds, 3ba, 3,095 sq ft, $1.295m.

Closets on either side of the front doors look like they can also be accessed from outside.

This home is a blend of Asian, Balinese, and Frank Lloyd Wright influences. It's loaded with windows to let in natural light and views of the extraordinary gardens.

They have lots of indoor plants, as well. This home is like one giant conservatory. In the sun room, look at the built-in cabinets. They can either be opened or closed, depending on what you display, which is unique.

Here's another sitting room.

There are several sitting rooms, but this may be an unused bedroom with access to the patio.

I've never seen such unique kitchen cabinets.

Wow, look at this great wood shop. It would make a nice big studio, too.

Very Zen bath.

That panel looks like old elevator buttons. Maybe there was an elevator here and they replaced it with stairs.

This home is decorated in minimalist style. This is the primary bedroom.

These stairs go up to a large home office with a deck.

Bath #2 is also a tranquil retreat.

Bedroom with a closet that acts as a dividing wall.

The 3rd bath is a shower room with mosaic tile.

Pagoda-like shed right on the deck.

Interior of the shed.

This looks like a potting area.

Here, they have outdoor storage. I imagine that they need a place for all the gardening equipment.

Very unusual design, like this courtyard.

More gardens behind the house.

What unusual roofs. 9,583 sq ft lot

Chiefs vs Bills | Kansas City, MO | January 26, 2025

Louis Vuitton 'Monogram Jacquard Knit Jacket' - $5,000.00 Louis Vuitton 'LV Spark Beanie' - $550.00 Steven Battelle 'Ancient Coin Necklace' - price varies Louis Vuitton 'Trunk Chain Wallet' - $2,850.00 Louis Vuitton 'Le Damier de Louis Vuitton Small Ring' - $3,950.00 Louis Vuitton 'Le Damier de Louis Vuitton Medium Bracelet' - $18,500.00 Cartier 'Panthère de Cartier Medium Watch Diamond' - $32,200.00 Louis Vuitton 'LV Medallion Gloves' - $495.00 Calzedonia '50 Denier Tights in Dark Red' - $15.00 Louis Vuitton 'Star Trail Ankle Boot' - $1,760.00

More monogram. Taylor appeared at the AFC Championship game wearing a literal head to toe look (mostly) by Louis Vuitton. Proving that sometimes it does have to be Louis V up in KC.

What I Learned From Those Two Years: Prior to the game I had wondered if last year’s championship outfit might be a playbook (pun intended) for today’s look - knowing that comparisons were bound to happen. I can see the similarities year over year in the oversized top, pleated mini skirt, tights, and boots combination. On the skirt, I’ve been told this is not the same skirt as last year, with thanks to the LV team for the confirmation, and is a slightly older one within the LV catalogue. However, it feels like a close enough of a callback to make the choice seem intentional. Perhaps a way of nodding to superstitions in sport with repeating “lucky” items to bring forth an optimal outcome. Whatever the reason, let’s say that it worked because the Chiefs defeated the Bills 32-29 and are - once again - headed to the Super Bowl.   

When We First Met (Gala): But even without the other LV elements of this look, I clocked these boots right away. Why? Because Taylor has a pair of Star Trail boots that she has worn on two other occasions. The first was the night before the 2016 Met Gala. The second was while out to dinner with Travis in October 2023. After a lot of staring, I can confirm this pair of ‘Star Trails’ are an updated version - discernible by the slightly different finish and the cap toe detail being absent. One of Taylor’s style pillars has always been repetition, so I’ll give half points here given it’s a style we know she has in her closet and has repeated in the past. I can imagine this fresh pair from a later collection was meant to coordinate with the rest of the recent LV pulls. 

Louis V up in KC: When it came to accessories, Louis Vuitton jewelry and bag felt like natural fits. However, knowing that Taylor has a LV watch in her collection that would have coordinated well with her head to toe (literal) branded ensemble feels noteworthy to me. The accessory that felt like it had the most story behind it was her necklace. Taylor has worn a number of vintage coin necklaces recently, including at a few Chiefs games. What immediately came to my mind was her 2024 season opener outfit which was also styled with a vintage, ancient bronze coin necklace. I imagine that something about it feels like embodying a fighting / warrior mindset to fit in with the “go fight win” of sports and the Gladiator ethos. Or else perhaps even a chic reference to a game day coin toss. I spoke with the designer, Steven, who confirmed that the face depicted on the coin, struck in 109-108BC during the Roman Republic, is the goddess Roma. Steven said, “[Roma] was believed to watch over the city’s citizens and protect them from harm, as well as being a fierce defender of Rome in war.” Steven said the necklace took approximately 1.5 days to create by Balinese goldsmith artisans with traditional handmaking techniqes. “The pendant was designed to highlight the coin and accent it in a classical manner,” he said. From an intentional styling perspective, there’s a lot of thought that goes into creating a cohesive and consistent storyline where every look “speaks” to one another to create a progression, but is distinct enough to stand as its own moment. Small callbacks like this (and the skirt - more on that later) demonstrate that thought well. I look forward to doing a full breakdown of this season’s looks (particularly in comparison to 2023-24’s season) when the final whistle blows. This artist uses real ancient coins in their work so every single piece is unique and different. Pictured above is what appears, to my eye, to be a close match to Taylor’s.

TS3 - Pet Bowl, Pet Food Packaging, Pet Kibbles Replacement Mod

D E F A U L T   R E P L A C E M E N T & F U N C T I O N A L P E T B O W L WITH GeoStates (Full, Half, Empty)

-----------------------------------

Remember those EA tacky pet bowls and purple pixelated pet food packaging....

Not just pixelated... I made these default replacement mods for the sake of realism. It's because in real life there is no such thing as Pet food kibbles made by commercial pet food industry for both Cats & Dogs. Cat food and Dog food are separated due to different ingredients and nutrition formulated for Cats and Dogs.

Food suitable for both Cats and Dogs are raw food, usually made by small business company or handmade.

-----------------------------------

5 styles you can only choose one :

Dog Food

Cat Food

Cat & Dog Raw Food

Dog Biscuit Chinese New Year Edition

Cat Biscuit Balinese Edition

These Mods will replace:

Pet Bowls (Cheap, Moderate, Luxury) & Pet Kibbles

Each Pet Bowl has 3 Presets and recolourable.

‣ Cheap Pet Bowl using EA's Moderate pet bowl mesh, because plastic pet bowl with round shape is much more common in real life rather than rounded square shape.

‣ Moderate Pet Bowl: Removed the EA stencil on Moderate Pet Bowl because of tacky, pixelated and the "For Dog" design (depicted with bones) cannot be changed to "For Cat" version of design.

‣ Luxury Pet Bowl using "My First Pet Bowl" mesh by myself because it much more realistic for expensive pet bowl with shiny aluminum material. EA's Luxury Pet Bowl with carving and feet are too tacky, complicated and does not exist in real life.

Pet Bowls have title name and price same as EA's.

With thumbnail :

Pet Food Packaging (Decoration)

Pet Food Packaging title name is Simina Pet Chow Price: § 75 You can find on Decoration > Miscellaneous Decor. (Same as EA's)

With thumbnail:

Pet Food Packaging (Pouring)

Requirement: Pets Expansion Pack

⚠️ Disclaimer: These Mods are changing appearance of mesh and texture only, no script Mod. Dogs still can eat Cat food and Cats can eat Dog food following EA code in the game.

⚠️ This package will be replacing the default EA, so you have to choose one. Installing more than one default replacement will cause conflict. ⚠️

As usual, install one of these packages on Package folder. You can safely delete the package if you no longer want to use the default replacement.

Hello dear mutual.

Have you considered drawing cat Melkor again? Perhaps in the color palet Ophanim? As a treat? Giving him or him giving a boop in these difficult times?

Sincerely

- me. (You melkor cat design is so good)

I always love your request because it fulfills my cat Melkor agenda XD (we need to catch up soon over some long missed coffee)

Tried to go for a more cartoonish style and of course a long haired balinese cat with the colors :)

La Nuit du chat is a graphic novel in the series “ Broussaille” by Franke Pe and Michel Bom.

I still remember reading this one for the first time, back in high school.

It changed my entire perception of what stories could be. To this day, it is still my all time favorite graphic novel because of the impact it’s had on me personally and my career( It doesn’t help that I’ve met Frank Pe a few years ago and he was just as lovely, charming and intelligent as his characters are).

There are a few things about this series and this character that impacted me.

First, it’s just beautiful. The simplistic characters in these gorgeous environments, the feeling of light and shadows is masterful. Every album is dripping with heat, mood, rainy weather. In the first book of the series, Les Balinese Publiques, the sky Is overcast and I could feel the wet pavement and the smell of petrichor. In the second one, Les Sculpteurs de Lumiere, the main character BROUSSAILLE goes to visit his uncle for the summer and the feeling of summer sun is incredible.

But, the one that astounds me every time I re read it is La suit du chat with it’s voyeur like camera work.

The second thing that broke and opened my mind was the story.

There are NO bad guys in this book. No big plot to save the world. It’s not a love story, not in the romantic comedy style at least. It’s just a simple story of a young man looking for his cat at night, in his neighborhood. There is a LOT happening in that one night and we meet interesting characters throughout.

One in particular stood out to me. A retired miner worker. One of the most extraordinary characters I’ve read in graphic novels.

There is a portion of the book where Broussaille is seeing inside people’s apartment. He’s outside on a wall looking at the facade of the building and sees through the windows. I realize how much of my work has been inspired by this and I didn’t even realize it till years later.

I bought this book when I was 15. I still have the original copy of that book and I take it with me every time I move. I re read it at least a few times a year.

I don’t know how easy it is to find in the US but if you could find it, I HIGHLY recommend it.

New Cloud Translation AI Improvements Support 189 Languages

189 languages are now covered by the latest Cloud Translation AI improvements.

Your next major client doesn’t understand you. 40% of shoppers globally will never consider buying from a non-native website. Since 51.6% of internet users speak a language other than English, you may be losing half your consumers.

Businesses had to make an impossible decision up until this point when it came to handling translation use cases. They have to decide between the following options:

Human interpreters: Excellent, but costly and slow

Simple machine translation is quick but lacks subtleties.

DIY fixes: Unreliable and dangerous

The problem with translation, however, is that you need all three, and conventional translation techniques are unable to keep up. Using the appropriate context and tone to connect with people is more important than simply translating words.

For this reason, developed Translation AI in Vertex AI at Google Cloud. Its can’t wait to highlight the most recent developments and how they can benefit your company.

Translation AI: Unmatched translation quality, but in your way

There are two options available in Google Cloud‘s Translation AI:

A necessary set of tools for translation capability is the Translation API Basic. Google Cloud sophisticated Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model allows you to translate text and identify languages immediately. For chat interactions, short-form content, and situations where consistency and speed are essential, Translation AI Basic is ideal.

Advanced Translation API: Utilize bespoke glossaries to ensure terminology consistency, process full documents, and perform batch translations. For lengthy content, you can utilize Gemini-powered Translation model; for shorter content, you can use Adaptive Translation to capture the distinct tone and voice of your business. By using a glossary, improving its industry-leading translation algorithms, or modifying translation forecasts in real time, you can even personalize translations.

What’s new in Translation AI

Increased accuracy and reach

With 189-language support, which now includes Cantonese, Fijian, and Balinese, you can now reach audiences around the world while still achieving lightning-fast performance, making it ideal for call centers and user content.

Smarter adaptive translation

You can use as little as five samples to change the tone and style of your translations, or as many as 30,000 for maximum accuracy.

Choosing a model according to your use case

Depending on how sophisticated your translation use case is, you can select from a variety of methods when using Cloud Translation Advanced. For instance, you can select Adaptive Translation for real-time modification or use NMT model for translating generic text.

Quality without sacrificing

Although reports and leaderboards provide information about the general performance of the model, they don’t show how well a model meets your particular requirements. With the help of the gen AI assessment service, you can choose your own evaluation standards and get a clear picture of how well AI models and applications fit your use case. Examples of popular tools for assessing translation quality include Google MetricX and the popular COMET, which are currently accessible on the Vertex gen AI review service and have a significant correlation with human evaluation. Choose the translation strategy that best suits your demands by comparing models and prototyping solutions.

Google cloud two main goals while developing Translation AI were to change the way you translate and the way you approach translation. Its deliver on both in four crucial ways, whereas most providers only offer either strong translation or simple implementation.

Vertex AI for quick prototyping

Test translations in 189 languages right away. To determine your ideal fit, compare NMT or most recent translation-optimized Gemini-powered model. Get instant quality metrics to confirm your decisions and see how your unique adaptations work without creating a single line of code.

APIs that are ready for production for your current workflows

For high-volume, real-time translations, integrate Translation API (NMT) straight into your apps. When tone and context are crucial, use the same Translation API to switch to Adaptive Translation Gemini-powered model. Both models scale automatically to meet your demands and fit into your current workflows.

Customization without coding

Teach your industry’s unique terminology and phrases to bespoke translation models. All you have to do is submit domain-specific data, and Translation AI will create a unique model that understands your language. With little need for machine learning knowledge, it is ideal for specialist information in technical, legal, or medical domains.

Complete command using Vertex AI

With all-inclusive platform, Vertex AI, you can use Translation AI to own your whole translation workflow. You may choose the models you want, alter how they behave, and track performance in the real world with Vertex AI. Easily integrate with your current CI/CD procedures to get translation at scale that is really enterprise-grade.

Real impact: The Uber story

Uber’s goal is to enable individuals to go anywhere, get anything, and make their own way by utilizing the Google Cloud Translation AI product suite.

Balinese dance

Balinese dance is an ancient dance tradition that is part of the religious and artistic expression among the Balinese people of Bali island, Indonesia. Balinese dance is dynamic, angular, and intensely expressive.

Region: Asia and the Pacific

Legong Keraton Dance performance with Gamelan ensemble in Puri Saren Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

There is a great richness of dance forms and styles in Bali; and particularly notable are those ritualistic dance dramas which involve Rangda, the witch, and the great beast Barong. Most of the dances in Bali are connected to Hindu or traditional folk rituals, such as the Sanghyang Dedari sacred dance that invokes benevolent hyang spirits, believed to possess the dancers in a trance state during the performance. Other Balinese dances are not linked to religious rituals and are created for certain occasions or purposes, such as the Baris or Pendet welcoming dances and Joged dance, which is a social dance for entertainment.
