A verandah may be roofed with material that protects against sunlight but admits the other elements. In most countries, a roof protects primarily against rain. The characteristics of a roof are dependent upon the purpose of the building that it covers, the available roofing materials and the local traditions of construction and wider concepts of architectural design and practice, and may also be governed by local or national legislation. It’s also more vulnerable to punctures than other choices.A roof ( PL: roofs or rooves) is the top covering of a building, including all materials and constructions necessary to support it on the walls of the building or on uprights, providing protection against rain, snow, sunlight, extremes of temperature, and wind.Even the black version, though, costs more than BUR or modified bitumen. The standard black material absorbs heat, and light-colored coatings (recommended in warm climates) add 30% or more to the cost. ![]()

I'll use it as a ruler to measure other possibilities against. I'll also look into the CA reduction - that's not something I've tried doing before. ![]() I'll have a think about changing lenses - I also have a 10-18mm, example at File:At São Paulo, Brazil 2019 071.jpg (and others in that category), perhaps that fares a bit better. Hth, - El Grafo ( talk) 13:31, 10 February 2020 (UTC) Reply El Grafo: Thanks for the feedback! The 90D is new, so perhaps the extra noise was from my old 60D. So again a) this is much less of an issue for pictures taken on sunny days and b) a better lens may help here. I suspect that it is introduced during post-processing: With a soft lens you'll have to sharpen a lot, and that will amplify any noise. Regarding the noise: with the 90D, you've got a new camera with an excellent sensor, so I'm quite sure the noisiness is not your camera's fault. ![]() I guess that would be my recommended strategy: look at the images you took under bright conditions, check for sharpness, re-edit them in order to get rid of the CA (if Lightroom doesn't cut it, maybe try the "defringe" tool in rawtherapee) and try nominating these. It has some red and green CA along high-contrast edges, but if you can get rid of that (should be easy in Lightroom) I think it would be worth a try at QI. This one taken at f/9, for example, looks pretty good in terms of sharpness. Note that this is much less of an issue on sunny days, though, as you can stop down to f/8 to maybe f/10 where this kind of lens tends to peak in terms of sharpness. The softness and the CA are to be expected from a super-zoom like this – as convenient as they may be, optically most of them are OK at best. The folks over at QI tend to be picky, and from what I've seen, many of your uploads are both noisy and soft (especially the ones taken on overcast days) and suffer from very visible lateral chromatic aberration. Hate to say it, but if you want to produce QI-level photographs consistently and under all conditions, you will probably have to look for alternatives for that 18-300mm lens of yours. Mike Peel ( talk) 18:19, 24 January 2020 (UTC) Reply In the case of your last picture At_Cagliari,_Sardinia_2019_060, if you whant less noise reduce the iso number or take pictures in raw mode and use software like: Adobe Lightroom o Rawtherapee( free to use) that way you can improve light on your photos, and I recomend You to use a photo editor software like Adobe Photoshop (it requieres to adquire a commercial license) or Gimp( ) that is free to use, regards - Cvmontuy ( talk) 23:37, 28 January 2020 (UTC) Reply Hey Mike, I've had a look at some of your recent uploads. You might also want to read COM:PT for a lot of photography tips. :-) - Cart (talk) 18:14, 24 January 2020 (UTC) Reply W.carter: Thanks for the pointer, I've moved my question here accordingly. Mike Peel ( talk) 17:33, 24 January 2020 (UTC) Reply Hi there Mike Peel.The place for such questions, tips and discussions is at Commons:Photography critiques. The Sharpening tool is applied to the full image, before the Resize tool. If anyone's willing, I'd appreciate feedback on whether I should keep trying or not, and if there are any of my recent uploads that might stand a chance of passing. This article describes the tool called 'Sharpening', however RawTherapee contains other tools which can be used to perform various types of sharpening - see Edges and Microcontrast and the Wavelets tools. However, I've had relatively little success in the past ( current count is 6, latest attempt was Commons:Quality_images_candidates/Archives_January_09_2020#File:At_Cagliari,_Sardinia_2019_060.jpg), which makes me reluctant to nominate more in the future. I take a lot of photos for Commons (~40,000 uploaded so far), and I keep thinking I should nominate the best of them for QI status. * GNU General Public License for more details.Hi all. * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY without even the implied warranty of * RawTherapee is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or ![]() * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * RawTherapee is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify ![]() For maximum productivity, the MDI (Multi-Document Interface) layered editor allows you to carve your images into full spectrum splendor.

And finally, when Jonas wants you to tune in so he can talk to his mom, don’t let him. The same way to really piss off Ren (and anyone, really), you can mess things up badly with Jonas if you agree to murder off Clarissa with the ghosts and tell him about it. Choose to leave Jonas behind at every possible turn, too. Royally Tick Off Jonas – Be as rude as possible in your responses to Jonas and blame him for all the spooky stuff going on whenever you have the option to. If you do everything, their lifelong friendship is toast. When the ghosts want you to make a deal, agree to obliterate Clarissa from existence and then tell Ren about it. Leave Ren behind after getting the key and also side with Jonas in the Comm Tower fight. At the beginning of the game, play along with Clarissa’s Truth or Slap game and embarrass Ren by calling him out on liking Nona (this leads to the slap achievement, too). Opt to save Clarissa first instead of him, when you have to choose which one to go to first after being separated. Mess Up Your Friendship With Ren – It’s possible to ruin these two best friends by making some choices that would screw Ren over. It seems like mentioning there that Ren cared about her and hoped she liked him back does the ultimate trick for this ending. I didn’t actually push it at all until the time loop where Nona is devastated over Ren’s supposed death and admits she had feelings for him. There will be a lot of instances where Nona can be spoken to and you can wing man for Ren.

Be on Jonas’ Good Side – Have him accompany you a lot and don’t side with Ren when they fight. Five years after the events of OXENFREE, Riley returns to her hometown of Camena to investigate mysterious radio signals. ![]() The three Eternals travel to South Dakota to reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. When the trio are attacked by the Deviant Kro, Ikaris arrives and chases the creature away. After Sersi's partner Ikaris left her centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human Dane Whitman who works at the Natural History Museum. In the present day, Sersi and Sprite live together in London. Over the next five hundred years they mostly live apart, waiting for Arishem's orders. The last Deviants are apparently killed in 1521, when the group's opinions differ over their continued relationship with humankind. In 5000 BC, ten superpowered beings, known as Eternals- Ajak, Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, Sprite, Phastos, Makkari, Druig, Gilgamesh, and Thena-are sent by the Celestial Arishem to Earth on their starship, the Domo, to exterminate the invasive entities Deviants. ![]() ![]() It was criticized for its screenplay, pacing, runtime, and character development, although it received praise for its themes and visuals. Principal photography took place from July 2019 to February 2020, at Pinewood Studios as well as on location in London and Oxford, England, and in the Canary Islands.Įternals premiered in Los Angeles on October 18, 2021, and was released in the United States on November 5, as part of Phase Four of the MCU. Zhao rewrote the screenplay, to which Burleigh was later reported to have also contributed. Zhao was set to direct the film by late September, and was given significant creative freedom with the film, which resulted in filming on location more than previous MCU films. In April 2018, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced that a film based on the Eternals had begun development, with Ryan and Kaz Firpo hired to write the script in May. In the film, the Eternals, immortal alien beings, emerge from hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their ancient counterparts, the Deviants. It stars an ensemble cast including Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, and Angelina Jolie. The film is directed by Chloé Zhao, who wrote the screenplay with Patrick Burleigh, Ryan Firpo, and Kaz Firpo. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Eternals is a 2021 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics race of the same name. ![]() In 1962, Calhoun wrote about his research in an article for the Scientific American called “Population Density and Social Pathology.” In this article, he coined the term “behavior sink” to describe the breakdown of social functions and population collapse that stemmed from overcrowding in his rodent enclosures.Ĭalhoun described this behavioral sink as a kind of para-pathology that appears from, and succeeds upon, the behavior of individual animals within a group. After that, the mice would either become hostile or form cliques or passive and anti-social.Then, the society would reach a leveling-off point.At first, the mice would meet, mate, and breed abundantly.All the experiments would lead to the same sequence of events: ![]() He continued studying rats throughout the 1950s, building more complex enclosures for the rats to examine how they would behave in an environment where they never lacked food and water, and that was predator-free. Ultimately, this caused a psychological breakdown and the rat society would collapse and they would become extinct. That lead to unwanted interaction, which made them hostile and withdrawn. So, as the rat population increased, it became difficult for individuals to control how often they had social contact. This confirmed Calhoun’s central contention that there is a limit to the number of meaningful interactions individuals can cope with before stress enters the picture. During the study, the rats subdivided themselves into small groups of up to 12 individuals.Ĭalhoun noted that 12 was the maximum number of rats that could live in harmony anything beyond that would lead to stress and psychological effects causing the group to break. The rat population was expected to reach 5,000 over the course of the experiment however, the population never grew beyond 200 and it stabilized at 150. The colony of Norway rats was enclosed in a 10,000 square-foot outdoor pen, where they were supplied with unlimited water and food. That year, he started a 28-month study of a colony of Norway rats at Johns Hopkins University. His experimental research started in 1947. He was focused on the problem of crowding, which led him to conduct a series of experiments and studies using rats and mice as subjects. But why? And what does that mean for humans? Well, that is exactly the point of this article today.Ĭalhoun dedicated his entire career to the study of population density and its effects on behavior. In essence, he created a perfect society of mice to study their behavior and see if they would thrive. For this study, he built a mice utopia purposefully designed to provide the mice with everything they needed and satisfy their every whim.

Launched in 2022 to mark the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, this community-centered initiative involves understanding how marine invertebrates are adapting to the changing environment. The light trap at Whaler Bay is one in a network of 20 traps placed throughout the Canadian side of the Salish Sea, from Read Island in the north to James Island near Sidney in the south, as part of the Hakai Institute’s multiyear Sentinels of Change program. Jeannine Georgeson, coordinator of the Institute for Multidisciplinary Ecological Research in the Salish Sea, lowers a light trap off the dock at Whaler Bay, Galiano Island, British Columbia. She gives the trap a thorough check and drops it back in the water. She watches the school until the last bit of silver is gone, then turns back to the trap and sets the timer to turn the light on at 8:30 p.m., half an hour before sunset. Sights like these are rare on the island these days, she explains, but when she was young, her uncle would catch anchovies in a tote and bring them home for her to see. As she unscrews the bucket’s lid and removes a timer from a yellow case, a school of shimmering anchovies swims by and a distracted Georgeson exclaims in joy. Inside, a pipe holds a strip of LED lights-all contrived to lure and trap months-old, pea-sized Dungeness crab larvae, which, like many zooplankton, are attracted to light. Below the bucket, a series of funnels and sieves is plugged into a plastic jar. Instead, this trap will catch larval crabs as part of a study that, in time, could help ensure crab dinners in years to come.Īt the corner of the pier, wiping raindrops off her face, Georgeson pulls up what appears to be a half-submerged white bucket, but it’s actually a fairly sophisticated sampling tool-a light trap. Tonight, however, there will be no crab dinner-a once-cherished meal for her family with its Coast Salish and Sahtú-Dene roots. It’s already 8:20 p.m., and she needs to set a crab trap. The silver-hulled Island Spirit II, a seiner that hasn’t fished in the past couple of years, sits docked at the pier as witness to the bygone years.Īs daylight begins to fade, Georgeson cuts short her reminiscence. The number of fish in the bay has dwindled, and so has the size of her extended family’s fishing boat fleet. Over the past two decades, however, things have changed. As we saunter down the boardwalk, Georgeson reminisces about her childhood here: playing on the pier and fishing off the dock while her uncle and grandpa worked on their boats. Georgeson is the coordinator of the Institute for Multidisciplinary Ecological Research in the Salish Sea (IMERSS), a local grassroots organization comprising scientists, scholars, artists, and community members like herself, who take part in a variety of research, from mapping local biodiversity to monitoring microclimatic changes. Amid a lineup of motorboats, pleasure boats, and tugboats, I spot Jeannine Georgeson on the boardwalk, dressed for the weather in jeans and a black rain jacket. The air here at the wooden pier in Whaler Bay on the island’s southeast end is heavy and moist, tinged with a whiff of boat fuel and old wood, and infused with sea salt. Home to nearly 1,400 people, it is one of the 200-odd islands and islets in the Gulf Islands archipelago dotting the Salish Sea between Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and the mainland coast. It’s a gray summer evening on Galiano Island, a long strip of land about 1.5 kilometers across at its narrowest.

If time’s the ultimate determinant in training periodization, it may be important to ask yourself just how much of your “training time” is spent simply warming up. In most cases, for us online physique coaches, developing the “best” training program tends to be dependent on the time clients have available as much as actual training principles. Particularly if someone has a family to take care of, between work & family responsibility, training time seems to constantly be on the chopping block when schedules need more room. We live in a fast paced world and in most cases, time is an ever-elusive resource. What’s the most used excuse you hear from athletes on why they missed a workout or fell off the wellness wagon altogether? Bingo, time. A takeover that once started with positive intentions but now appears to often hinder physique athletes’ performance more than it helps. That said though, the mobility movement quickly became a full-on takeover. Make no mistake, a proper warm up is certainly prudent for any athlete looking to minimize injury risk and enter their training sessions at their best. Foam rollers, mobility bands, more groin stretches than a professional contortionist. Walk into most gyms and you’ll see more bodies scattered across the floor than a Walking Dead episode. Fast-forward to present day, and mobility work and warm up popularity are at an all time high. Seeing a guy prancing around with high knees and butt kicks would be a comical relief for the “real” athletes that got straight to their heavy lifting once in the gym. The weight you use may be light, but your hamstrings will feel heavy by the end of it.Warm ups used to be considered “soft” by serious strength athletes. And if you do it right, you'll feel your hamstrings work and see them grow-maybe for the first time in years. Then when you're ready, put your strength to use with 's top hamstring exercises. Trust me, this method of training your hamstrings can't hurt. In fact, that may be exactly what you need to encourage new growth. You may have been attacking the type IIb fibers for years, but it doesn't mean that you can't strengthen the type I and IIa fibers. Perform this type of training twice a week for a good three- or four-week period, and you'll encourage growth in fibers that have been dormant for quite a while. If a muscle imbalance does exist between both sides, do the exercise one leg at a time, and always start with the weaker side first. Light and slow leg curls will unveil a left-right discrepancy very quickly, believe it or not. For this reason, you may feel that one side dominates. Both your left and right hamstrings must work throughout the entire range of motion, not just part of it. When you train in this manner, you can't hide any weakness. On the third and final set, use less weight, and try to maintain plantarflexion throughout. Lift the load in dorsiflexion (toes up) as you fatigue, but always lower the weight in plantarflexion (toes out). You may lose several reps by the second set, especially if you're not used to doing this type of training for your hamstrings. The first set should be manageable, but after that, your performance will likely drop dramatically. Light and Slow Will Show You Where You're Weakĭon't be fooled when you commence this type of training it's more challenging than you may think. And if you normally train your hamstrings heavy once a week, you can go light twice a week. ![]() If you typically take 3-4 minutes of rest between sets, 90-120 seconds will be enough with a lighter weight. You'll need less rest between sets, and less rest between workouts. Here's the other key: Since you're only using half the weight you normally do, you'll be able to cut your rest periods in half as well. I promise you, if you do leg curls right, even with a fairly light weight, you'll really feel your hamstrings. Your butt raises in the air to shorten the distance of movement, and no matter how hard you try to maintain ankle plantarflexion, by the second or third rep you're already in dorsiflexion as your gastrocs are coming into play to help out. Because you're using a weight that's probably too heavy, your form goes to hell in no time. The hamstrings don't do much after that initial pull they just come along for the ride. Usually, you initiate a leg curl with a blast of force, and momentum takes over the rest of the way. You'll quickly discover what a difference this type of training makes. ![]() Each decision point offers multiple options to ensure clients get exactly what they want.
