![]() We’ve spoken about earthquakes before, and this domain continues to see new developments. We also have information about atmospheric conditions, including wind chill, humidity, location-specific heating and cooling days, and the heat index. We’ve also been able to add quite a bit of information about astronomical events, such as meteor showers, and their properties.įor those concerned with issues closer to home, we’ve added information about clouds and the composition of our atmosphere. We had a massive amount of astronomical data when we first launched Wolfram|Alpha, but over the summer and fall we added a great number of solar system features, including maps of planets, data about craters of planets and moons, and detailed information about Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. We’ve added carbon footprint data, providing information about the carbon footprint of various activities such as heating our homes or taking a road trip. To complement the information we have been providing about the human genome, we now have the genomic structure of the mouse, including information about DNA sequences relative to specific genes. Our physical exercise calculator may be one of Wolfram|Alpha’s most useful new additions, allowing users to compute energy expenditure, fat loss, and oxygen consumption for dozens of different activities, from running to rowing. We now support all of the most commonly used periodic tilings, such as basketweave and zigzag tiling. More tiling support has been added to our geometry offerings. Some highlights include better plotting, more derivatives and integrals, more step-by-step results, better linguistics for inputting your computations, and complex analysis features such as computing the residue. You can also now explore all the famous categories of fractals.Īnother major area of improvement is in algebra, including better support for sums and matrix computations.įor calculus and analysis you will find more advanced support throughout Wolfram|Alpha. You have more ways to explore cellular automata as well as support for string substitution systems. Our support of computational sciences has expanded. ![]() You can also explore traditional areas of combinatorics such as coin flips and card playing. You can now compute any probability for any distribution that is known by Mathematica, or find the set on which the density of the statistical distribution is non-zero. Improvements to our capabilities in probability and statistics have also been made. Users will find many updates in discrete mathematics for areas like combinatorics and graph theory. Users will also find improved plotting for special functions. ![]() As we near the end of 2009, we wanted to look back at seven months of new Wolfram|Alpha features and functionality.Īn impressive collection of advanced support for mathematical functions has been added, including more support for Bessel functions, gamma functions, elliptic functions, and zeta functions. We’ve highlighted some of these new additions in this blog, but many more have entered the system with little fanfare. Since then, we’ve successfully released a new build of Wolfram|Alpha’s codebase each week, incorporating not only hundreds of minor behind-the-scenes enhancements and bug fixes, but also a steady stream of major new features and datasets. When we launched Wolfram|Alpha in May 2009, it already contained trillions of pieces of information-the result of nearly five years of sustained data-gathering, on top of more than two decades of formula and algorithm development in Mathematica. ![]() ![]() If you are outdoors, make sure you have a good way to shape, and anchor them. One thing to remember is that reflectors are typically big. You can attach a reflector to a stand or a light (some reflectors, especially big ones, have a frame or a handle for that). Not only are reflectors really good at doing their job, they are easy to use. We’ll look at different ways to use a reflector later in the article. You use a reflector to redirect light in your scene.

Light shining into an umbrella reflector, putting light back onto a chair and camera. There isn’t any real difference between photography reflectors and video reflectors. Lastly, you may have also heard about reflectors for shooting videos. Use a white sheet or a white piece of paper, or a card for a white reflector. For a silver reflector, cover a piece of card in aluminum foil. You can even make your own DIY reflectors. This light covers a large area and is quite soft. You aim your flash into the umbrella and it bounces out and over your subject. Reflective umbrellas are good for portraits. If you do a lot of food or product photography, you might want to use panel reflectors. They are parabolic reflectors that you attach to your light source. Beauty dishes, panels, and umbrellasīeauty dishes are designed for fashion and beauty shoots. Sometimes they are hinged, which makes them very helpful for product photography or large studio shoots. They are often made of foam or cardboard and come in different sizes. Where collapsible reflectors are usually made of fabric, bounce boards are solid. 5-in-1 reflector by impact huge collapsible reflector by impact 24xx36 foamboard by Union used as a reflector Bounce boards They are extremely affordable and incredibly versatile. You can use the diffusion panel to soften light, and the black side works as a flag to block light.Ī 5-in-1 reflector is typically the first reflector you’d wanna get. And the actual frame is a translucent reflector. There are usually two covers: white and silver, and gold and black. ![]() A five-in-one starts with a white diffusion panel and comes with two reversible covers. 5-in-1sĪ five-in-one reflector is a very good starting point. You can buy collapsible reflectors individually in just one color or as part of a system, like a 5-in-1. ![]() It can feel a bit odd at first, but you get used to it. You normally do this by twisting them in a figure-of-eight pattern. They come in different sizes and can be folded into a smaller form. Round, or sometimes oval-shaped, collapsible reflectors are portable and easy to store. A silver reflector is the most ‘efficient’ because it bounces back the most light. A gold reflector will make the light look warmer, similar to sunset. Silver and white reflectors do not alter the color of the light that they reflect back into a scene. You will most likely see them with white, silver, or gold surfaces. Reflectors come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. You can use them indoors or outside and with either natural or artificial light. A reflector is a reflective object that you use the bounce light from its source back into your scene. ![]() Stay safer online with our secure web browser: *Available for customers who are licensed for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, A3 or A5 for faculty, Business Standard, Business Premium at no additional cost Boost your work productivity with Bing Chat Enterprise*, your AI-powered chat with commercial data protection It will remove ads and other distracting content from articles and blog posts. ![]() Enjoy a streamlined reading experience with Immersive Reader.Search the web on the go with visual and voice search powered by Microsoft Bing.Securely access your saved information like history, favorites, passwords, Collections, and more across your signed-in devices with the Microsoft Edge web browser.Use Copilot in Edge to find what you’re looking for with quick summaries and contextual searches.Ī more productive browsing experience to help you get more done: Refine your search and get summarized answers: ![]() Microsoft Edge is the only web browser you’ll ever need, with features to help you get more done online, stay protected, and built-in tools to give you the best online shopping experience.

Write out your step-by-step guide to success. ![]() When this happens, they forget steps, skip steps or start going off on tangents in the wrong direction. One of the biggest mistakes people make when setting goals is that they don’t ‘chunk it down’ into enough clearly defined steps. If the steps along the way to your big goal are huge themselves, when are you going to find the time, energy or gumption to do them?įor example, if you have only 2 hours a week right now to devote to building your dream career, then set a realistic goal of dedicating 2 hours a week to specific tasks toward that end. When you take a break from the big goals to do something that nourishes your spirit, you refresh yourself to get back to the task. You must schedule regular time in your life to put everything down and step away from the work. “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” Sorry about the creepy association but the truth is, well, it’s true! This is a way to ultimately hold yourself accountable to completing your steps on the road to success. This isn’t a reward or chastisement scheme (although rewards are okay). Be AccountableĪ lot of people like to have an accountability buddy with whom they share their successes and demonstrate their ‘on-task, on-time’ commitment to, on a weekly or monthly basis. So here are 5 tips to follow for realistic goal-setting 1. Practical steps with realistic goals and sub-goals are what you need to propel you along the road to your wildest dreams. While lottery winning and other means of (seemingly) miraculous instant manifestations happen, taking practical steps serves an important function: it gets you moving with the flow of your intention. Because if you want to create a life that’s fulfilling, then it’s a good idea to set some very clear goals. ![]() Only to ‘ground’ your vision down here on the practical, physical plane. Now I’m not trying to rain on your parade here. But here’s the thing: the key to achieving the intermediary goals that’ll get you there is realistic goal-setting. Big dreams and big goals are incredible, and everyone who aspires to anything should have a goal or two (or 3 or 4) that are so big they’re scary. ![]() ![]() Progress messages indicate that Dynmap is working and will show when the render is completed.

Native Minecraft Version: 1.20 Tested Minecraft Versions:įor support and details, see our Discord. File Permissionsīy default, created files do not have the ability to be executed. Every other screen should say (detached). The one that your currently attached to will be suffixed with (attached). This will show you all screens, and beside each it will say either (detached) or (attached). You can see what screens are attached and dettached by running screen -r. In this case, you can type exit to kill the screen session. I often find it's easy to create multiple nested screen sessions. In the case of our server, this means we're returning to the server's console. Screen -r minecraft will reattach us to the session. This means that, while we aren't inside the screen session, it is still running and can be reattached to. Pressing ctrl+a+d within a screen session will 'detatch' us from the session. Pressing ctrl+c will stop the script, and thus, exit the loop. Typing stop in the console will end the server process, and the script will give us three seconds to exit the loop. This script will start the Minecraft server. In this scenario, we're using the script I linked in the introduction. Screen -S minecraft will create a screen session with the default bash command line. To make it executable, use chmod +x start.sh 1. Running your serverĪssuming we've already entered the server directory with cd, and the start script is already copied, we can start. Personally, I prefer to use nano for quick and easy stuff, such as copying the start script into a bash file. Nano is a useful text editor, and can be called with nano. Assuming you're running a Minecraft server in this screen, you'll be sent to the server's console. Screen -r minecraft Enters a screen session that is already running. Remember, case-sensitivity is important with command flags. Screen -S minecraft Creates a screen session with the ID minecraft. It is commonly used to run multiple commands at the same time, but in this case, we'll be using it to run our Minecraft server even if we close our SSH session. Screen is a tool used to run processes in the background. This guide also assumes you have a server start script. This guide assumes you are using Ubuntu 18.04 Server, you have screen installed, and that your server is already uploaded to the server. Leaf-cutting can be carried out in mid-summer, this results in smaller leaves, better ramification and stronger autumn leaf colour. For trees that require short internodes, buds can be pinched out leaving 2 new opposing leaves as soon as they are visible, this will produce fine, twiggy growth with short internodes and also promote back-budding. Pruning Unless extension is required to form new areas of foliage or branches, cut new growth back to one or two pairs of leaves following bursts of growth through the growing season. Repotting should stop when maples begin to extend new shoots. Maples that come into leaf early in the year (especially Kiyohime) can be repotted later, even when their first pair of leaves have opened. Repotting Every 2 to 5 years as buds extend in Spring. Withdrawing some early fertilising produces very short internodes and finer growth required on ‘finished’ or developed trees.Īfter hardening off, feed fortnightly with a balanced feed. Watering Acer palmatum are very thirsty prior to new flushes of growth in Spring and Summer and will need additional water at these times.įeeding Feed weekly with high nitrogen fertiliser as soon as leafbuds open in spring to encourage strong growth and to strengthen leaves against sun and wind scorch. In winter, protect against frosts below -10☌. However good light in spring and autumn aides vigour and leaf-colour, as well as leading to smaller leaves. Position Out of direct sunlight and strong winds throughout the year to protect leaves against sun and wind scorch. ![]() Japanese Maple bonsai by Harry Harrington The main problem with looking after Acer Palmatum is keeping the very thin leaves free of blemishes as they are easily burnt by the sun and wind. Flowers and key-shaped fruit tend to be insignificant and easily overlooked. Varieties with a green summer leaf colour tend to be more robust whilst red-leaved varieties (though arguably more beautiful) lack the same quantities of chlorophyll in their leaves and are weaker. Acer palmatum after pruningĪcross the range of the species there is much variation in growth habit, leaf size, leaf shape and spring, summer and autumn colour. They are very popular for use as bonsai due to their ready ability to respond to most bonsai techniques, beautiful foliage and graceful branch structure. There are at present hundreds of varieties in cultivation. Be sure to use fresh potting soil during this process.If you have never done root pruning, it's best to consult a nursery professional who can give you some tips and advice.Acer palmatum are deciduous small trees and shrubs, with opposing odd-numbered (anything from 5-11) pointed leaves, native to Japan, China and Korea. Late February is the best time, right before the weather begins to warm up. Another sign that it’s time to root prune is that the top of the tree leaves are crispy and unhealthy looking. Root prune your container maples when they are so root bound that water doesn't soak through the pot. ![]() To reduce the potential for spreading disease, clean your pruners with alcohol after each cut, especially if cutting dead or diseased branches. Cut out any dead, diseased, or damaged branches, then prune to shape. January during a dry spell can also be a good time for pruning and seeing the tree’s core structure. June through August is good for pruning aesthetically, since you can see the leaves and the overall shape of the tree. The damp environment may make some maples more susceptible to bacterial and fungal diseases. Try not to prune your maples during the rainy season. Pruning is an important part of maintaining a container japanese maple. ![]() For further information please refer to our main website: www.guenther-rarebooks. This particular illuminated manuscript is what’s known as a book of hours, an exceedingly popular prayer object and calendar secular people would commission and then pass down as a family.

I love adding in vegan chocolate sauce to up the chocolate flavour, or drizzle chocolate over top of the drink to make a drizzle mimicking the look of the original drink. They worked perfectly because it increased the coffee flavour without adding liquid into the recipe, which concentrated the coffee taste more. I made this recipe before I had an espresso machine, so I had to make do with instant coffee granules. Freeze these into cubes and blend them as you would ice cream in a milkshake – it’s amazing the texture it becomes! So I used mini chocolate chips instead!
