Butterfly overlay3/11/2023 And even when people are aware of what nature offers, and are ready to work with nature to build resilience, current policies and regulations can create unintended hurdles. Communities nationwide need easy ways to learn about what is possible with nature-based solutions. For many, sandy toes and lilting butterflies seem far removed from the realities of flooded homes, eroding coasts and dying crops – but they are not. Many people think of nature on weekends or vacations, or not at all. Significant challenges to deploying and scaling up nature-based solutions remain. On farms, in forests, along coasts and in transportation systems, these investments will reduce the risk of fires, floods, heat waves, and storms, and strengthen communities. Historic investments within the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act provide a major push toward progress via more than $42 billion in funding to support nature-based solutions. It is high time for nature-based solutions to be used and scaled as critical tools in the fight against climate change, nature loss and inequity. These solutions are actions to protect, sustainably manage, or restore natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges. Deep knowledge, science, and experience have yielded a wide variety of nature-based solutions. The good news is that we actually have a largely untapped, but nonetheless powerful, set of solutions at hand: nature. There should be no doubt that we need to act aggressively to deploy all possible solutions for these three interconnected challenges. And a third crisis – an inequitable world – amplifies the urgency. Global leaders meet this week at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s Conference of the Parties (COP27), and next month at the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) because humanity is fighting for our future against climate change and nature loss. Yes, nature seeds our lives with splendor and awe, but constantly – often quietly – does so much more. Have you walked along a farm field and watched a butterfly skimming the sea of green? Beyond that moment of beauty, nature’s pollinators add food to tables and profits to crops. When the next coastal storm rolls in, they will act as speed bumps for storm surge, slowing and dampening incoming waves and reducing damage onshore. But those dunes do much more than build fond memories. Have you ever run down a towering dune during a beach weekend? You might head home with some great memories and sand between your toes.

Orange knight castle crashers3/11/2023 Orange Knight is an underrated character in Arena. His game plan is rivaled only by his unlock, the Fire Demon. Overall, Orange Knight is one of the easiest characters to pick up and learn. The top 5 Animal Orbs in Snoot, Burly Bear, Hawkster, Piggy, and BiPolar Bear will suffice. Use a Magic heavy weapon that does not reduce Strength. To take advantage of Orange Knight's Magic, attribute to Agility first, and then Magic. He also arguably has the greatest Unlock Path, rivaled only by Blue Knight. With all of this in mind, Orange Knight is considered to be one of the best characters in the game, in the same leagues as Fencer, Industrialist, Blue Knight, Iceskimo, and Fire Demon. Unlike the aforementioned Pink Knight and, to a lesser extant, the Blue Knight, Orange Knight has the least expensive Splash Attack in the game, along with the Fencer, Brute, etc. Orange Knight, boasts one of the longest Splash Attack ranges out of any characters in the game, along with Pink Knight's "Rainbow Chain" Splash Attack. Cult Minions are immune to any elemental effect and take minuscule damage, however, this can be taken advantage of. Fire Demons resist the knockback from all fire attacks. ( Stove Face, Royal Guards, and Coneheads). In addition to that, fire deals full knockback to all heavyweight enemies. Some of the enemies weak to fire include: Barbarians, the Barbarian Boss, Trolls, Bears, Royal Guards, Stove Faces, Fish Men, Snakeys, Iceskimos, Frost King, and Undead Cyclops. Fire has one hit of damage over time, but unlike poison, over half of the enemies are weak to it. Leaps up with yellow flame with black smoke billowing out below, lighting adjacent enemies on fire. Orange Knight is one of the King's Knights, to whom he serves with loyalty, helping to get the princesses back and defeating the Evil Wizard. When injured, he can be seen crying or closing his eyes, mouth open. In his portrait, his tunic/armor is themed with fire of lighter and darker colors He is usually portrayed as the most happy out of the knights. Orange Knight, befitting of his name, dons an orange themed Knight helm and tunic. 3.3.18 Thief/ Stove Face/ Peasant/ Civilian/ Open-Faced Gray Knight.The four main knights represent Great Britain Red Knight for England, Blue for Scotland, Orange for Ireland, & Green for Wales.The Blacksmith, along with the Gray Knights are the only 2 Playable Knights that are also NPCs or Enemies in the game.It causes the enemy to temporarily freeze upon being hit. The Pink Knight's Splash Attack is a chain of rainbows, growing by 1 rainbow per magic level. His Projectile Attack throws a burning hammer that can cause fire damage to the enemy for one second. His Splash Attack summons the Weapons Frog, which thrusts its tongue forward to strike an enemy. The Blacksmith uses Non-elemental magic based around weaponry and smithing. His projectile is a dagger, instead of bombs, that has unlimited range. The Open Faced Gray Knight is the gray knight with his visor open. His long ranged attack is just a bomb that bounces 1 time and can substitute a store bought bomb to find items. His Splash Attack is a volley of arrows that increases as the magic is increased. The Gray Knight is the bulk of the King's army. His Splash Attack is also one of the longest ranged of any character. The Orange Knight uses Fire magic, and his fire attacks cause some damage over time. His magic freezes anybody it hits (except for large characters). The Blue Knight uses Ice magic, and his Splash Attack can only be used twice in a full mana bar, instead of decreasing in cost as you add levels into it. The Red Knight uses Electric magic, and his Splash Attack holds an enemy in place and deals continual damage as long as you hold the attack. If any of his magic hits, the magic will deal damage and poison any character in the game (except for large characters).

Swimmers itch in dogs3/11/2023 The dog may develop stomach problems such as diarrhea, vomiting and, in extreme cases, liver failure. “It is a more serious condition in dogs than in people because the parasites cannot only live within the dog’s body, but can reproduce and make their own little colony in a canine’s system. While that post says to contact a vet if rash and itchiness develop, the web page Wag has a more dire warning. Dogs should be dried after leaving the water, just like humans. They’re particularly prevalent in weedy and shallow areas. You might also want to check your dog for the itch if it's been in the water as well.Ī Vernon Veterinary Clinic internet posting cautions that the same parasite that gives the itch to humans can seek out dogs for hosts. Some suggested ways to ease the itch include calamine lotion, antihistamines, shallow lukewarm baths with three tablespoons of baking soda, colloidal oatmeal baths, cold compresses and most of all, avoid scratching. Repeat infections can cause stronger reactions. The rash may take 12 hours to appear and, while most irritation will go away in a few days, symptoms can last up to two weeks. As these red spots grow, the tingling feeling becomes a strong itch.” “Small, pin-sized red spots will appear, which grow into larger red rashes within several hours. “As you start to dry off and the larvae start to burrow into your skin, you may feel a tingling sensation,” the website says. That’s not a practical solution, so HealthLinkBC suggests things like diving into deeper water and drying off thoroughly with a towel once out of the water. The itch can, of course, be avoided by not going into the water in the first place. Some people are more sensitive than others. The parasite burrows under the skin but cannot survive in humans so the dead remains can cause a reaction, creating the rash and subsequent itch. Young children, according to HealthLinkBC, are more susceptible not just because their skin may be more sensitive, but they often spend more time in shallow water, splashing in and out without fully drying off. “However, if a skin infection occurs from too much scratching, you should see your healthcare provider.” “The rash and itch can be very irritating, especially for young children, but there should not be any serious danger,” according to HealthLinkBC. It’s the scratching of that itch that can cause infections that carries a greater risk of needing medical attention. It's those parasites that burrow into humans to cause swimmer's itch, which is largely harmless if not incredibly annoying. The infected snail then releases this different type of microscopic larvae into the water where it seeks out shallow areas in order to find its host, which can include humans. They infect the snails, multiply and undergo further development. Once in the water, the eggs hatch and, as microscopic larvae, search out tiny aquatic snails. They lay eggs inside their hosts that are passed into the water through feces but these are not the parasites that cause the itch. Officially called schistosomes, the adult parasite often lives in birds like ducks and geese and some mammals. Swimmers itch, on rare occasions, has even been reported on coastal beaches. In fact, the parasite that actually causes that itch comes from the tiny snails that live in many lakes and ponds throughout B.C. Most anyone who spends time in Interior lakes during the summer has ended up itching all over at one time or another and may blame it on an influx of geese or ducks.

In the end, using direct on camera flash is a fun way to explore edgy looks and portraits. The ring flash will create a softer shadow that wraps around your subject.Ĭonclusion Edited with Visual Flow > Pure Pack The shadow: The on camera flash will create distinct shadow behind your subject.The ring flash will spread more evenly across the frame. Light spread: The on camera flash will be more focused.When deciding between an on camera flash vs a ring light, there are two differences to keep in mind. Ring Light The ring light creates a soft shadow that surrounds the subject. The further your subject is from the wall, the darker the wall will be. Be sure to maintain the same distance between your light and your subject. To control the brightness of the background, move your subject toward or away from the wall. Tip #4: Mind the Background Distanceĭirect flash portraits are commonly used against white backgrounds. Compare a 4000K balanced with one closer to daylight at 6000K and you can see the warmer image appears much more natural. One mistake I see photographers commonly make when using direct flash is that they don’t shoot warm enough. To fix this, attach your light to a bracket to keep the flash on its above position. This will cast a shadow on one side of your subject. When going vertical, it’s important to keep in mind that the A1 will now be firing from the side. However, many editorials are shot in portrait. Tip #2: Use a Bracket When Going Vertical Note the placement of the shadow from the position of the flash.īecause an on camera flash such as the Profoto A1, sits on top of the camera, we get a nice and centered shadow when shooting in landscape. You can see how everything ties together right off the bat. I had Kiara wear an all-black outfit and stand in a strong pose. Tip #1: Choose an Outfit that Fits the Moodīecause we’re using a harsh and edgy light quality, we want our subject to wear an outfit that fits that theme. Here are 4 tips to keep in mind when utilizing direct flash as a creative lighting choice with my good friend Kiara as our model today! Let’s dive in. I’ll also be shooting with the Canon R5 with the RF 28-70mm f/2 lens. I’ll be using two versions of direct flash today: The Profoto A1 on camera flash as well as the Flashpoint R200 Ring Light. It’s most often used as a stylistic choice for editorials and celebrity or fashion portraits. Video: How to Utilize Direct On Camera Flash For Edgy Portraitsĭirect flash creates a harsh and raw light that can seem unappealing and difficult to control. Install veeer3/11/2023 The guide also approves the use of non-sag construction adhesive but for interior applications only. This mortar is easily mixed in a pail with a drill and paddle. Use of Polymer Modified Mortar that meets the ANSI A 118.4 both for installing the thin brick and for filling the joints between the brick. We recommend DIYers use cement-board as the substrate for your thin brick rather than the thick-set system described in the guide. Both systems work well, but cement board ensures a uniform base for the brick and is easier to install than a traditional thick-set system. Use exterior grade cement board for exterior applications and interior grade for interior applications. Plastic spacers that are used to install ceramic tile work well to provide a uniform mortar joint.īrick saws may be rented from your local rental yard. Again, adjust the width of the last number of mortar joints so your last full or half brick fits properly. Likewise, as you approach a window, door, or the end of the wall on your horizontal rows, you will want to end with either a full-length or half brick for a clean finish. If this is the case for you, measure the height of the wall and adjust the height of your horizontal mortar joints on the top number of rows to ensure you end with a full-height brick against the ceiling. If your installation terminates at the top of a wall against the ceiling, you will want to end your top row of brick with full-height brick rather than cutting the top row of brick to fit. A 3/8” (10mm) mortar joint is standard, but the mortar joint size can be adjusted to be slightly wider or narrower as needed. Snap chalk lines up the wall every few courses to ensure you maintain a level horizontal mortar joint. Get started by fastening a straight-edge to the base of the wall and install the first row of thin brick along it. That is, each successive course of brick is laid half-way over the brick below.Ī straight and level horizontal bed joint is key to a professional-looking installation. The most common pattern used when installing thin brick is the running bond pattern. The guide is comprehensive but here are a few additional points to keep in mind: This guide will help ensure an installation that will look great and that you will be proud to call your own.
Dockstation ubuntu 20.043/11/2023 I have only been an Ubuntu user for ~6 months, so I'm still learning a ton. I checked the syslogs after one of the crashes and have pasted below. I got a solid day of work out of it with no crashes (March 14) but after that, the crashes came. I decided to try the station the author recommended and bought the Plugable station. PLUGABLE UD-6950HĪfter these attempts and some others, I found this blog where an Ubuntu user (also using Dell Latitude series PC) discusses connecting display link dock with ubuntu. Next, I followed steps from this github post, thinking that perhaps there was a problem with the kernel update referenced. D3100 STATIONīased on the advice of this post (about the D6000 docking station), I have commented out load-module module-suspend-on-idle from etc/pulse/default.pa and rebooted. Both stations cause my machine to shutdown and reboot at random intervals. Both stations utilize DisplayLink drivers. I have tried the D3100 and Plugable UD-6950H stations, respectively. I want to use a docking station so that I have a dual-monitor setup. It is a temporary solution, to make it pernament, edit: /etc/default/grubįind line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"Īnd add psmouse.elantech_smbus=0, so it should look like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash psmouse.I am running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a Dell Latitude E-5470. Fix: sudo sh -c 'echo -n "elantech"> /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol' I tried with fprintd libpam-fprintd.įeel free to ask if you have any questions about P53 on Ubuntu! Known problems Touchpad stopped workingĪfter few days, my touchpad stopped working. One little detail - fingerprint don't work, and I will update if something will change. I had to remove them from recovery mode to run Ubuntu. Updating Ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10 was fine too, but installing nvidia drivers from ppa didn't work for me even with secure boot off. Installing Ubuntu 19.10 beta on Lenovo P53 was best solution and everything works fine, even with Thunderbolt dock. So what I had to do after install? Nothing! And Lenovo P53 is still amazing laptop for me, with Ubuntu :)įor now I have connected ethernet and 4K monitor through the thunderbolt docking station and all usb devices like mouse, keyboard etc. There is no problem with Thunderbolt 3 docking station. WIFI works fine, touchpad and Nvidia drivers too. Before reinstall I turned off secure boot in BIOS setup and chose to automatically download third party drivers during installation. I spent may hours to fix Nvidia drivers, but after all I downloaded Ubuntu 19.10 beta iso (it was ) and reinstalled Ubuntu. So I updated distro to 19.10 and then everything was fine, but not Nvidia drivers. I found information that WIFI driver for Intel AX200 works only with newer kernel. WIFI was not recognized, touchpad didn't work too. I think there are two M2 slots and one ssd on all configuration without RTX and three M2 with RTX. I was really happy to see that I have three M2 slots, I read on Reddit that P53 have only two. I added second drive: Samsung evo 970 plus 1TB to install only Ubuntu there.
