I was able to quilt the whole thing in about an hour and a half and it was pure bliss. Here is my first longarm quilting project–I wanted it to be a success, so I did the whole thing with big loopy meanders. Angela also tackles the most common mistakes that people make with each design and gives you tips on how to fix them. She shows you lots of ways to vary it, as well as how to use it in different areas of a quilt, like as a background filler or in borders. I practiced it with small circles, which is my usual way, and then changed it up to larger circles, which I found more challenging. With this design in your arsenal you can tackle a wide range of quilts. I actually love this motif and find it useful in so many places. In a natural progression, Angela has you move onto a loopy meander. It was a perfect place to start, but I was quickly ready to move on. I thought this troubleshooting aspect was very helpful. ![]() If you are a brand-new quilter, Angela sketches this motif out for you and trouble-shoots common mistakes. ![]() I had fun practicing it in different scales: large, medium and small enough to be considered stippling. I’ve done hours of meandering, but it has actually been a while since I stitched out this motif. We definitely start with the basics here. Just give me a doable design and let me quilt the whole quilt. It’s beautiful, but it’s just not my thing right now. And that is my kind of quilting! I’m not sure I’ll ever be a custom quilter–the type that quilts each area of a quilt block differently. Something else that I liked is that all the machine quilting motifs that she teaches you is perfect to meander across a whole quilt (thus the name). The book is filled with Angela’s fun personality and encouragement that you should never, ever pick out your quilting mistakes. As a matter of fact, you can get a preview of the motifs covered in the book and a FAQ from Angela herself here. She really builds up the designs in a thoughtful way. Another thing I liked about it is that while it contains all the information that an absolute beginner needs (sewing machine feet, needles, thread, batting, etc.), the motifs ramp up quickly and it ends with some designs that are quite impressive. I’m a visual learner and this approach really appeals to me. ![]() I am not exactly a beginner, but I was intrigued by the step-by-step, photo tutorial style of this book. So, I will be working my way through this book along with my quilting and blogging friends, Vicki and Jen. When I heard that everyone’s quilting hero, Angela Walters had a new book out, called Free-Motion Meandering: A Beginners Guide to Machine Quilting, I definitely wanted to check it out. And I get inspired when new quilting books hit the stands. Are you ready to do some free motion quilting? I know that I feel more confident in my machine quilting when I am practicing regularly.

![]() I’ve since checked out both Battlegrounds and Dragonstar Arenas. I was feeling a little overwhelmed when I first logged in by hearing about all these new battle arenas. I think there was something similar back when I played before, perhaps in an achievement section in the menu, but it certainly wasn’t as streamlined and user friendly. It is so convenient simply pulling up the map and hitting a button to check on my overall progress for an area. I also really love the zone guide feature that is now available. Not to sound like an old fogey talking about walking 15 miles to school in the snow (barefoot), or anything, but in my day, skyshards absolutely did not show up on the map–whether on the compass at the top of the HUB, or as a nice little marker on the zone map when missed. Skyshards show up on maps now–this is not a drill. It was definitely not a thing when I was playing before. Is my inner child who dreams of being some sort of archaeologist screaming out for attention or do I just love the thrill of finding that pesky dirt pile? I don’t know, but I sure like scrying and all of the great stuff you can get from it. After a year of grinding domains in Genshin Impact for crappy artifacts with downright disrespectful traits, the fact that I can ensure I get the pieces of gear with the sets I actually want is enough to make me never want to go back to Genshin Impact…almost. I no longer have to hoard gear in precious inventory or bank space, or in chests in my empty studio apartments. Being able to deconstruct gear, and being able to reconstruct them later or even to trasnmute their traits to the ones I desire, is absolutely life changing. I cannot stress how much I love The Sticker Book. Item Set Collection (Aka the Sticker Book) But I remember the old system, which did not involve unlocking a certain amount of points just so I could connect the metaphorical dot to another dot somewhere else and unlock the skill I truly want. I loathe the new system, even though I realize it’s not that bad and could be far worse. If finding all new builds and figuring out what my skills actually were times six wasn’t bad enough, the new Champion Point system sure was. Perhaps the biggest buzzkill ever to exist after logging back into your favorite MMO after three years away was having all of my skills, attributes, and champion points reset on all six of my characters. ![]() In the spirit of my on-going love for Elder Scrolls Online, I thought I’d share some of my thoughts on my return to my favorite MMORPG ever. There’s so many new things to do, as well as old things that have vastly improved. I can not believe how much has changed in Elder Scrolls Online, and most of it for the better. ![]() Now, in 2022, right after a Skyrim playthrough I’ve found myself back in Tamriel all over again. Somewhere along the way, I gave up the game, but the lure of dragons drew me back for the Elsweyr expansion in 2019. I have a bit of a long history with Elder Scrolls Online. In fact, one of my very first gaming posts on this blog ever, and from way back in 2015, was 14 Reasons Why You Should Play Elder Scrolls Online. Whether you want to customize your designs or want to take full control of the designs you download and plan on using, this is a great app. While MacStitch may seem intimidating at first glance, there is a very deep, very feature-rich app here for those who master it. Combined with innovative features that allow you to convert photos to design bases and match colors for certain types of materials, the app is designed with the people who will use it in mind. And because you can save the files in formats that can be opened on PCs, you can upload to share with people online or you can download and edit other designs from the Internet. Once you get the hang of it, however, the interface makes perfect sense, offering access to different size, color, and types of stitches, easily, allowing you to zoom in and out on a design with the tap of a button and giving you options for accessing alphabet presets, motifs, and more. The interface is very dense when you first open it, with options across almost every square inch of the screen, so the tutorial will help you find what you need. After loading it from your Applications folder, you can start using it right away, though it recommends you open the Help folder, a recommendation we agree with. Installation of MacStitch is straightforward and takes only a moment. The result, while strict in its learning curve, can be an extremely powerful tool for anyone who creates their own patterns or wants to customize the patterns they purchase online on their Mac. ![]() MacStitch 2014 for Mac offers dozens of features and options in an incredibly deep interface for creating custom patterns on your Mac. ![]() This was not good for performance though. Gamemaker used to run the "runner" which actually included a byte code converter as well, so you could literally compile code at run-time. It has evolved into something much better than in the past.Ĭlick to expand.It depends on what you are doing and how you are compiling it. I just wanted to clarify those few points in GMStudio's defense. GMStudio has a nice free version(also with splash screen) but it doesn't allow export to all the platforms. Also, if you intend on staying "free-to-play," Unity is going to be better, as it can do 2d and 3d, and doesn't put limits on export platforms. I'm not going to elaborate more, as this forum is Unity's and there are plenty of things that have been said above. But if you want 3d graphics, despite 2d gameplay, Unity wins. And Unity has some 2d features as well, though they aren't as advanced as GMStudio. For all the good things about GMStudio for 2d games, Unity has it for 3d. You can code it yourself, but there are much better options. The physics is only for 2d, there is no collision for 3d, and worse, there isn't even any out of the box method to load 3d assets. You can do some things, but it doesn't have much of anything built in. ![]() There is a shader set on GM's asset store that does lighting, but not only simple overlay lighting, but rather normal based lighting, so you have to give it a normal map to go with the colored sprite, and it uses lights in 3d space and ends up looking 3d despite only being drawn in quads. In fact, people have made shaders meant for 3d, including ones that do vertex animation, etc. And despite what Hippo said up there, you CAN create shaders in GMStudio. Even without that step, it is no longer run-time interpreted like it used to be. The GML language can do a lot, and it can actually be compiled into C++ code. In the past things weren't as good, but the latest GMStudio product is actually pretty good. I mean pixel art, or HD art, or vector art, or even 3d pre-rendered into sprites. When I say 2d, I don't mean 2.5d(except maybe iso graphics, but still 2d), and I especially don't mean 3d limited to side view or anything like that. GMStudio, for 2d games, is really the bees knees. For the record, I have both installed, but I'm currently using Unity for my game, because though the game is 2d in gameplay, I want 3d graphics. I've used both GMStudio(latest iteration of GameMaker) and Unity, so I think I can judge pretty well. ![]() When I do, it brings me to the Amazon site but the address bar then displays not What's the problem here? Thanks. Then I'll be back to being able to search one time before it stops working again.īy the way, one of the other experts said I should enter " " So in cell I4, enter the following formula. INDEX (B3:B16,MATCH (H4,C3:C16,0)) If you are using a newer version of Excel, then you can use the XLOOKUP Function. You should instead use vlookup VLOOKUP ('Fri',F6:G12,2,FALSE) However if you are just assigning days of the week to numbers, consider using this formula INT (SEARCH ('Fri','Sun:Mon:Tue:Wed:Thu:Fri:Sat:Sun:')/4)+1 to avoid needing a look up at all. ![]() This will work in older and newer versions of Microsoft Excel. I believe Lookup expects the list to be in ascending order, so it wont work. The only way I can perfom another search is if I exit the site entirely and come back in. We can use the INDEX and MATCH combination formula, to perform this lookup. Cleared Gone with the Wind from the search bar and entered "Animal House"ĥ. Typed "Gone with the Wind" in the search barĤ. However, as far as everything else goes, it still only searches once and then it's as if the GO button is inactive or something.Ģ. ![]() You're right about that, so please disregard that part.

Freitas developed the COVID guardians programme, who were responsible in monitoring and following up on the measures already implemented for COVID-19 and advising users, employees and other people on compliance with distancing, hygiene and health measures recommended by health authorities. These central pillars include ensuring hygiene and health and social distances measures for passengers, users, and the airport community, in addition to participating in strategic committees involving the public sectors to comply with regulatory rules. Robson Freitas has developed and led the BH Airport plan for the resumption of airport operations post-COVID-19, as well as being responsible for leading the group of Directors and Managers at the airport, defining the three main pillars of recovery: Health and Safety of People, Institutional and Integrated Communication and Institutional Partners. ![]() While Peter is known as a firm individual that displays the outmost professionalism and integrity, he operates on the basis of equity and fairness in all matters relating to staff, clients, passengers and the general public. Peter is well known for his expertise in investigation and aviation security. His co-operation with law enforcement stakeholders has been unrelenting in assuring the security of the airport and stakeholders alike. The aim of this plan was to ensure a safe environment for staff and the travelling public therefore, this plan was instrumental to establish consumer/travellers/public confidence and provided information and guidelines on the new protocols implemented at the airport. Peter has been instrumental in co-ordinating the preparation and implementation of a COVID-19 response plan for not just MBJ, but to guide the operation of all agencies operating on airport. He has experience in customer service, operations and now oversees the security function and is also the Chief Operations Officer. Peter has been with the Sangster International Airport for over 25 years. ![]() Leaders show strength in difficult times, and this is exactly what Saggaf showed and why he deserves to be awarded as the Person of the year 2021. Saggaf also initiated a capacity building programme for the airside team by drafting SOPS, training and coaching, as well as initiating dedicated workshops to discuss ideas and to deploy new initiatives. He prepared the facilities by deploying new technology and working on enhancing passenger experience. He built a new strategy by diversifying the airport offers. To handle the loss of Umrah traffic to the airport, Saggaf chose to attract new airlines, mainly LCCs, to use the terminal with attractive offers and more reliable services. Saggaf has protected the financial stability of his staff income, ensured valuable cost cutting management, shown excellent performance of crisis management, and exceptional negotiation skills shown with authority regarding agreement restructuring and receivable payments. With new innovative ideas in balancing cash flow, the facilities were kept maintained and the personal were kept employed. His outstanding leadership across all areas across the stakeholders in the aviation ecosystem and going beyond the call of duty in managing and navigating this crisis for a national capital airport having national importance makes him the apt choice for the Person of the Year Award.Īdnan Saggaf continues to demonstrate strong leadership skills throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and brought out of the box ideas in attracting traffic and to support his team during this difficult time. He further led the Vande Bharat Mission flights of Government of India (a rescue mission to get Indians back to India), as well as rescue flights by other international governments. Under his leadership, DEL has been forefront of implementing safety measures which was later adopted across the country.ĭespite lockdown, Jaipuriar ensured that DEL was operational for rescue missions, medical evacuations, and transporting medical essentials to various parts of the country. He proactively engaged with the government stakeholders and supported them in safeguarding aviation through strong confidence building measures for travellers, such as developing several indigenous technology solutions like air circulation with six changes per hour and a combination of UV and plasma disinfection systems to provide safest journey experience to their passengers. ![]() He led multiple initiatives to ensure business continuity at DEL, which included passenger safety and convenience, stakeholder management, cash conservation, adoption of new technologies, and care for environment and employee safety. Videh Kumar Jaipuriar has been nominated for his exemplary leadership in managing and navigating Delhi International Airport (DEL) during the COVID-19 pandemic. ![]() The "days to maturity" of a crop and the length of your growing season also factor into whether you start seeds early indoors or directly sow seeds into the ground outside. When we calculate fall planting dates (which are really in the summer), we must account for several factors, such as the time to harvest once the crop is mature and whether a crop is tender or hardy when it comes to frost. Planting in late summer for a fall harvest has many benefits (soil is already warm, temperatures are cooler, fewer pests). However, the challenge is getting your crops harvested before the winter frosts begin. Read more about direct-sowing seeds here! How Is Planting for a Fall Harvest Different? The same is true for squash and watermelon, though care must be taken to plant them when the soil is warm enough. Root crops, including carrots, radishes, and beets, are especially well-suited to being started directly in the garden, since they do not like having their roots disturbed after planting. Most other crops do best when sown directly into the garden soil. These include tender vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, as well as crops with a long growing season, like broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts. The crops that should be started indoors are those that are particularly susceptible to cold temperatures or that have a very long growing season and need a head start. Not all vegetables should be started indoors! In fact, most are better off being started directly in the garden (aka "direct-sown"). Read more about starting seeds indoors here. This gives the plants plenty of time to grow large and healthy enough to survive their eventual transplanting to the garden. Indoors, you can control these elements to maximize your plants' early growth and give them the best shot at thriving when they are eventually transplanted outdoors.įor most crops that can be started indoors, seeds should be started about 6-8 weeks before your last spring frost date. Outdoors, the unpredictability of rain, drought, frost, low and high temperatures, sunlight, and pests and diseases can take a toll on young plants, especially when they're just getting started. Starting seeds indoors also provides young, tender plants a chance to grow in a stable, controlled environment. Starting seeds indoors (in seed trays or starter pots) gives your crops a head start on the growing season, which is especially important in regions with a short growing season. To plan your garden more accurately in the future, keep a record of your garden's conditions each year, including frost dates and seed-starting dates! Frequently Asked Questions Why Do You Start Seeds Indoors? It's a little complex for a fall planting. We use Moon-favorable dates at the very start of the gardening season. Planting by the Moon is considered a more traditional technique. The " Moon Dates" indicate the best planting dates based on your local frost dates and Moon phases.See each plant's individual Growing Guide for more specific planting information. When no dates ("N/A") appear in the chart, that starting method is typically not recommended for that particular plant, although it likely still possible.This includes plants grown from seed indoors at home and small starter plants bought from a nursery. The " Plant Seedlings or Transplants" dates indicate the best time to plant young plants outdoors. ![]() Average frost dates are based on historical weather data and are the planting guideline used by most gardeners. Although frost dates are a good way to know approximately when to start gardening, always check a local forecast before planting outdoors! The " Frost Dates" indicate the best planting dates based on your local average frost dates.Our planting calendar is customized to your nearest weather station in order to give you the most accurate information possible. This planting calendar is a guide that tells you the best time to start planting your garden based on frost dates. Planting Dates for Fall On average, your first fall frost occurs on October 18 (at PEORIA GTR PEORIA AP, IL climate station). Planting Dates for Spring On average, your last spring frost occurs on April 23 (at PEORIA GTR PEORIA AP, IL climate station, elevation 649 feet). For the Almanac's fall and spring planting calendars, we've calculated the best time to start seeds indoors, when to transplant young plants outside, and when to direct seed into the ground. ![]() Unlike other games, these towers are not a prerequisite for progression, quite the opposite. Scattered around the vast and vertical map are propaganda towers, huge climbing puzzles with moving platforms, lazer grids, and air vents. ![]() Despite the nonstop action, there are a few moments where Crackdown 3 gives players a moment to breath. There’s very little downtime between the action, which makes the entire story zip past. Whether you’re saving militia from prisons, shutting down mining facilities, or taking over monorail stations, you’ll be shooting from the ground and while leaping through the air. Shooting bad guys, throwing grenades, and jumping around are the three pillars of combat in Crackdown.īlowing things up is exactly what you’ll be doing in Crackdown 3. Echo will remind you of the reason why you’re doing this while the Director of the Agency will cut to the chase with, “Doesn’t matter, go get ‘em, Agent.” This helps both types of players: the ones interested in story and the ones who just want to blow things up as Terry Crews. ![]() The dialog of the two handlers also reflects a sense of understanding: you want to know what’s going on, but you also want to get back to the action. While there are cinematics, they are short and action-packed. Though heavier on the narrative than the original, Crackdown 3 manages to strike a balance between telling you the story and letting you unleash destruction. My Agent, the one and only Terry Crews (the bombastic face of Crackdown 3), talks smack, shoots bad guys, and generally kicks a lot of ass. It’s all a spectacle to behold as I slowly grow in power. There’s a sense of joy to be felt leaping around the city, collecting Agility orbs and blowing up vehicles with grenades – it took me right back to 2007. What have you been doing?įrom the get go, I’m smiling. Taking on the role of the Agent, the player must acquire said skills while wreaking havoc on TerraNova’s three pillars of industry: logistics, industry, and security. With Echo’s help, the Agent regenerates, albeit without all their fancy skills. One Agent survives, thanks to a Good Samaritan called Echo. On the way to New Providence (the vertical metropolis where players will spend their time blowing stuff up and jumping around), the Agency ship gets hit with a blast wave, turning all the Agents on board to ash, dust, and bone. New Providence, home to TerraNova, and the city where you'll be jumping around blowing things up. The story on offer in Crackdown 3 is rather straightforward: a company called TerraNova are causing blackouts all over the world and the Agency wants to get right in the middle and set them straight. Since then, Crackdown 2 hit the market, receiving a lukewarm response from critics and gamers alike. Let’s catch upĪ combined effort from Sumo Digital and Elbow Rocket, Crackdown 3 is the third game in a series that started back in February of 2007. It’s a sad thought, almost melancholic in nature, but the reality is that they might better serve as a story to be told and a memory to share. Whatever the case, you’ve enjoyed the catch up, you had a great time, but you’re fine with never seeing them again. Maybe you’ve grown as a person while they’ve kind of treaded water. It’s not a malicious thought, but you realize that this old friend doesn’t quite fit in your life these days. But there’s a small niggling feeling that perhaps you two drifted apart for a reason. ![]() You smile, laugh and generally have a good time. You reminisce about old memories, about all the fun you’ve had together. Catching up with a friend you knew years ago is always an interesting time. |
