Look for perfect condition, signed pieces of costume jewelry to secure the highest prices. In addition, last year I experimented with selling Trifari jewelry on eBay and continue to have surprisingly good results. In particular, I’ve found that high end designer jewelry sells especially well on eBay. Quality costume jewelry continues to be an excellent seller from three platforms: Etsy, eBay, and antique booths. In fact, pieces with all-over browning are preferred by some collectors(!). Look for signed English pieces since buyers prefer them and will pay more, but unsigned American pieces and some restaurantware sells well too.Ĭondition matters less with this collectible than with others.

Architects would also employ craftsmen or artisans to complete interior design for their buildings.Ĭommercial interior design and management Throughout the 17th and 18th century and into the early 19th century, interior decoration was the concern of the homemaker, or an employed upholsterer or craftsman who would advise on the artistic style for an interior space. With specialised guilds dedicated to producing interior decoration, and formulaic furniture, in buildings constructed to forms defined by Roman architects, such as Vitruvius: De architectura, libri decem (The Ten Books on Architecture). It was the Greeks, and later Romans who added co-ordinated, decorative mosaics floors, and templated bath houses, shops, civil offices, Castra (forts) and temple, interiors, in the first millennia BC. Painting interior walls has existed for at least 5,000 years, with examples found as far north as the Ness of Brodgar, as have templated interiors, as seen in the associated Skara Brae settlement. Reconstructed Roman triclinium or dining room, with three klinai or couches From these, it is possible to discern details about the interior design of different residences throughout the different Egyptian dynasties, such as changes in ventilation, porticoes, columns, loggias, windows, and doors. In ancient Egypt, "soul houses" (or models of houses) were placed in tombs as receptacles for food offerings. While most traditional homes have been demolished to make way to modern buildings, there are still around 2000 havelis in the Shekhawati region of Rajashtan that display wall art paintings. In these architects' design of 17th-century Indian homes, sculptures depicting ancient texts and events are seen inside the palaces, while during the medieval times wall art paintings were a common feature of palace-like mansions in India commonly known as havelis. This can be seen from the references of Vishwakarma the architect-one of the gods in Indian mythology. In ancient India, architects would also function as interior designers. The profession of interior design is separate and distinct from the role of interior decorator, a term commonly used in the US the term is less common in the UK, where the profession of interior design is still unregulated and therefore, strictly speaking, not yet officially a profession. The pursuit of effective use of space, user well-being and functional design has contributed to the development of the contemporary interior design profession. The profession of interior design has been a consequence of the development of society and the complex architecture that has resulted from the development of industrial processes. In the past, interiors were put together instinctively as a part of the process of building. Typical interior of one of the houses in the Folk Architecture Reservation in Vlkolínec ( Slovakia) ![]() ideally neither happens, most of the time squat/separation is just an artifact of working within limitations of factory suspension geometry and chassis. ![]() Squat doesnt actually create grip, its actually reducing force between the tyre and the ground - body moving down is force NOT going into the ground, it depends on the car and the tyres whether thats preferable to having the car separate (body lift up). Just allow my self enough adjustability to make any changes I might need to? I guess what I'm asking is - and I know every car is different - what would you do? The Escort seems to be pretty well proven, although it is a rally car. I don't know exactly where the centre of gravity line runs in the car, but after playing around with a 4-link calculator I'm struggling to get the IC inside the car without some quite funky arm angles.īear in mind, this is not a drag car looking for that 1/10th of a second grip off the line, so I'm not overly concerned with some squat to get grip. I've worked out that if I run the lower parallel and the top angled down 25mm at the front or 2.346°, I'll get a figure of 30% anti-squat and the IC will be about 500mm in front of the front wheel. And then some people run different length bars, or the bars mounted forward or rearward of the axle centre. Both parallel lower parallel, top angled down bottom angled up, top angled down etc. However, I have read varying warnings about running the bar angles every which way. At the moment, I've designed it as seen below:Ħ20mm is the stock length of the Gemini lower trailing arm mounting point to the axle centre, 127mm is the same as the Escort setup. I am aware that the length and angles of the arms can have significant affect on anti-squat and roll steer. In this, they run 23" arms, mounted 2.5" from the axle centre, both parallel with the ground. I'm basing it off the Escort Rally prep manual as the Gemini and Mk2 Escort share the same wheelbase. I am working on figuring out how to 4-link my Gemini and I need some guidance around arm lengths and angles. ![]() A new support might be added in the future.

UnvAsiIntrf.dll has been created as a generic way for ASI plugins to interact with another entity: said entity would register as an "API Handler" which has access to GTA V (in this instance, to RPH which gives it access to GTA V) and which would load UASI files (converted ASI files) then, the ASI scripts would interact with GTA V the same way the would've done it with ScriptHookV, except they would do via UnvAsiIntrf.dll, which itself serves as a simple bridge between UASI scripts and the API Handler.Īs the plugin is still in beta and might be unstable, you may experience bugs and / or crashes. UnvAsiIntrf.dll should be supported by the end user as it is pure C++, and AsiSupport.dll should also not cause any problem if the end user has all required dependencies to use RPH. This version was created with compatibility and user-friendliness in mind: managed code is in its own file ("AsiSupport.dll", which is the RPH Plugin), and all unmanaged code (the bare minimum the make the plugin work) is in UnvAsiIntrf.dll (which stands for "Universal ASI Interface"). Though, this mix between managed and native code created problems and confusion: errors were hard to track down, the program was hard to maintain, and the plugin didn't work for a lot of people. The first version was entirely coded in C++/CLI: native C++ code was used to interact with native ASI plugins, and the "CLI" (or "managed") part of the code was used to interact with the. ![]() Everything but the raw DirectX access ("Present callbacks") has been implemented, so most ASIs should load and work properly.

This is why guilt trips like ‘think of what you’re doing to your loved ones’ don’t work for me… I’m so grateful to still be alive today. And I was convinced everyone would be happier if I was gone, that I was doing them a favor by unburdening them. It was about escaping unbearable pain when I couldn’t see any other option. I was desperately searching for a way to conquer them.” – Kacie S. It’s difficult to explain how death would make you feel more alive than ever. “For me, it’s less about death and more about ceasing the pain. Here are some of the responses that resonated with me: ![]() In September 2016 The Mighty, a digital health community created to empower and connect people facing health challenges and disabilities, asked suicide attempt survivors what they wished people knew about their experiences. And what surprises me most is how similar they all are to mine. Once again, I turn to Google but this time to find stories of survival. I find many. I am one of so many people who have come close to suicide. Today marks International Survivors of Suicide Day and I find myself remembering that awful night in February 2014. The next day I found a psychiatrist and booked my first session. Why was I choosing this way out when I had so much to live for? I quickly shut down the 20 browsers I had open. It was convenient too as I could do it at any time. I could drive off Chapman’s Peak and into the ocean… “She lost control around a bend,” they’d say. Hanging would be a logistical nightmare.īut a car accident would be easy. An overdose of pills doesn’t always work and I couldn’t find any mention of exactly what to take and how many. Still I kept searching for the answer I was so desperate to find. I was in pain and ending my life would take away that pain. That I wouldn’t be remembered as a coward. That they wouldn’t see me as the failure I was convinced I was. ![]() That they would never know that I had decided to take my own life. I wanted to take my life, to end the pain, to release those who loved me from the torment I presented them with every time I had a depressive mood.īut it had to look like an accident so that they would mourn for me and remember me for who I was rather than the way I had ended it. For hours I searched for the perfect solution. I have to close the browser now.īut back in 2014 I didn’t. My hands are sweaty and my stomach is twisted in knots. On the first page I read – "Making suicide look like an accident" "what’s the best way to kill yourself but make it look like an accident" "making a suicide like some random accident" "top 20 suicide methods: fastest and painless suicide methods…" Today, I just typed in those same words – Google spat out 937 000 results in 0.75 seconds. ![]() Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Then, place the stretched and shaped mozz into cool (50F) water for 5 minutes, and then into ice water for 15 minutes. A few minutes is plenty to manipulate the curd into the shape you like.Ĩ. You don’t want to handle the curd in your hands too long. ![]() Some like to allow the curd to stretch into long thick strands and braid them. You can pull the curd a bit and stretch and form either one large mozzarella ball or smaller mozz balls. (we recommend wearing good rubber gloves for this step)ģ.Using a slotted spoon or wooden spoon, pick up all or some of your heated curds and allow gravity to stretch the curd into mozzarella.Ĥ. Put the curd slices into the water and work back into a solid ball of curds with hands. Heat your pot of water a range of 170-180F.Ģ. While you are doing this heat a pot of water (about a quart) to 170-180Fġ. Put the curds onto a cutting board and cut into 1/8" thick slices.ġ1. Remove the curds from the water into a colander lined with cheesecloth allow to drain for a few minutes flip and press gently to drain further.ġ0. Slowly heat the curds to 105F then remove from heat stir curds gently for 5 min.Ĩ. Cover and leave to rest for 30-60 minutes or until the milk is set and you have a clean break (when a knife or spoon is placed into the gel (curd mass), a clean wall is produced, much like what a soft Tofu would look like when cut.ħ. ![]() Use Vegetarian Microbial Rennet, and use 1/4 tablet or 1/4 teaspoon if using liquid Microbial Rennet.ĥ. Stir for only 3 gentle strokes across your pot or pan. Add the rennet (liquid or tablet should be first diluted into a small amount of cool water). You will want to maintain this temperature until the curds are formed and you cut them.Ĥ. Pour this mixture into the milk using only 2-3 gentle strokes and proceed to slowly warm the milk to a temperature not lower or higher than 86-88f (30-31c). Dissolve 1.5 tsp (7.3ml) of citric acid into a ¼ cup (59ml) of clean warmed water.Ģ. This ratio achieves the targeted pH (5.2) which enables the curd stretching later in the process. It is important that you use exactly 1.5 tsp of citric acid for every gallon milk. Follow the usage rates for any ingredient you place into the milk listed on the ingredient. The following recipe is for one gallon (3.78 liters) of milk. Make small batches before moving on to larger batches. If you cannot find NON homogenized milk, use whole milk which has been pasteurized and homogenized. Try to find NON homogenized (cream on top) milk. Making fresh Mozzarella using citric acid to acidify the milk compared to using a lactic starter culture takes less time and also produces nice results. How To Make Fresh Mozzarella Using Citric Acid I know what I need to do let me reclaim that screen space. Missions objectives are also constantly displayed in the top-left corner of the screen, seemingly without a way to hide them. Turning these transparent when centered on the screen would take care of this issue. The popups did occasionally get in the way of targeting specific units. And in the campaign, I noticed a large opaque pop up here and there, usually over a mission objective. Bubbles above units on the map will suddenly appear, blocking whatever is behind them. There are some moments where the HUD can be a bit overbearing, especially if you're playing with tutorial popups enabled. ![]() The ability to hit Spacebar to take you to the most recent alert is also a nice addition that keeps players from wondering where exactly they need to be. Nevertheless, red circles that alert you to a fight are clear to see on the minimap, which helps move your attention appropriately. Having the ability to adjust map size would be a nice addition. I would like the ability to increase the minimap size, as I found myself often squinting up close to the screen to see if I'd discovered any stone deposits elsewhere on the map. You don't have to pause the game and go check your key bindings every five minutes until you memorize them. The HUD is informative, straightforward, and accessible with hotkeys that are displayed in a discrete manner next to the buttons they represent. At least the arrows release from the bow instead of the soldier's feet now. In the heat of battle it's not noticeable, but a single archer's timing can be a bit off. While size has been addressed - arrows and bolts are more distinguishable from one another and don't look like spears being tossed - though, the animation is still a bit wonky when zoomed in. It looks odd, and betrays the attention to detail in other areas of the game.Īrrow animations (and sizing) were another sticking point for many people who saw an early build of the game. If I tasked more units than could fit along the foundation's edge, the rest would spin restlessly until the building was completed. Instead of swapping spears or swords for hammers, units would just sort of crowd around a battering ram foundation and point their weapons at it until it was built. One thing that stood out to me immediately was infantry units building siege. While the vast majority of animations I've seen are fluid, there are still some areas for improvement. A bit more variety there could go a long way. One thing that stood out to me was how similar the keep looks across civilizations. This is where the architecture really gets unique. Unique landmarks are fun to watch as they're built, with scaffolding and virtual workers rising out of the ground. I love the appearance of common buildings across civilizations they're easy to identify but fit in with the rest of the civ. Want to play nothing but Dry Arabia but don't want to see the pale palette anymore? Switch to a different biome for a few matches.Īrchitectural art design is also a strong point. The game ships with 17 different skirmish maps, each with eight different biomes that change the look of the map. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) A lighted grid that appears when you want to build helps identify what space is open, so you're never really having to guess where to place your next building. ![]() These extras don't affect the game and can be built over if you're pressed for space. ![]() ![]() Roads also appear automatically between well-traveled areas, though they don't provide a movement bonus. There are also plenty of accoutrements that pop up when you build certain buildings.įor example, building a house in an open area will have a small garden and fence appear next to it, adding to the sense that your city is a living organism. Forests vary in color and type, trees and grass sway lightly in the breeze, sea water color grades naturally toward shore, and unseen clouds passing in front of the sun drape shadows across the plains. Map landscapes - the backdrop for your matches and campaign missions - are gorgeous. Nearly everything is clearly identifiable at a glance, with units defined well even in the ruckus of battle. The game is not going for a hyper-realistic look, and that's OK when it attempts to run on such a wide range of hardware. Keeps and fortresses tower above towns, villagers look small next to armor-clad military units, and weapons are at an appropriate size to be noticeable but not overbearing. I've no doubt not yet seen every unit and building in the game, but these issues seem to have been handled. ![]() The New Yorker magazine, where he had been a staff writer for 33 years, reported that Mehta died on Saturday. "He taught me to write about our own streets," Kumar wrote.NEW YORK : Celebrated Indian-American novelist Ved Mehta, who overcame blindness and became widely known as the 20th-century writer most responsible for introducing American readers to India, has died at his home here at the age of 86. In a tribute to Mehta on Twitter, writer Amitava Kumar recalled reading him as a student in Delhi. Mehta had a deep impact on generations of writers and reporters, especially on those who, like him, moved abroad and lived in exile (he became an American citizen in 1975 and was granted the MacArthur 'genius' grant in 1982). He dictated his drafts to (mostly women) assistants ( Spy magazine described them as "Vedettes" in an article in 1989) and is believed to have revised his books and articles often over a hundred times before publication. In spite of his see-sawing reputation, Mehta's devotion to his craft remained undiminished. The late Norman Mailer doubted his blindness, threatening to punch him into admitting that it was only an act-he never did. Later editors of New Yorker, like Tina Brown, begged to differ Mehta was fired after she took over the magazine in 1994.Īuthor of over two dozen books, Mehta was also accused of being misogynistic and patrician. "He writes about serious matters without solemnity, about scholarly matter without pedantry, about obscure matters without obscurity," he said about Mehta. Shawn, one of his early mentors, thought otherwise. In his 12-volume memoir Continents of Exile, published between 19, he wrote about his early life in India, his parents, relatives and the political landscape of the country since independence and Partition.Īlthough Mehta's prose was acclaimed internationally, especially for bringing India close to American readers, it was also criticised for being intensely self-indulgent, if not dull. He drew luminous portraits of Indian life in books like Walking the Indian Streets (1959) and Portrait of India (1970). His first book, Face to Face (1957), explored his struggles with blindness, which would become an abiding theme of his work. In fact, memoir would become Mehta's chosen form for most of his writing life, even though he was equally adept at journalism and also known as a novelist. In 1961, at the age of 26, Mehta was hired as a staff for the New Yorker by William Shawn, one of the legendary editors of the magazine, who was impressed by Mehta's early autobiographical pieces. He was eventually accepted by one in Arkansas, where he went on to study, followed by stints at Oxford and Harvard. Later, Mehta was sent off to Dehra Dun, where he learned Braille reading and touch typing, a skill that enabled him to apply to colleges for the blind in the US. His father, Amolak Ram Mehta, was determined to give him a decent education and sent him off to study in a school for the blind in Bombay (now Mumbai). ![]() He was 86.īorn in 1934 in Lahore, undivided India, Mehta was afflicted with blindness at the age of three due to cerebrospinal meningitis. Ved Mehta, an Indian-born writer best known for his multi-volume memoir, died in his home in New York on Saturday due to complications from Parkinson's disease, his wife Linn Cary Mehta said in a statement. ![]() Download the Subway Princess Runner apk file from Google play and it will automatically install on your android device.
