Sanding for St Hilda of Whitby

My homework for the next diploma session, is an icon of St Hilda, referring to an image painted by Aidan Hart. The icon can be seen further below and also on his website Aidan Hart Icons. During my childhood, Whitby was a favourite seaside destination from our home in York. The sight of the ruined abbey looming over the cliffs was a vivid landmark against what was often a cloudswept sky. This dramatic photograph courtesy of Mark Davis Photography shows how the abbey forms such a striking silhouette against the east coast sky.

To think that St Hilda founded an an abbey and community in this wild landscape is remarkable and gives an insight into the strength of her character.

For this icon, I am using a flat plywood board.  I will oil gild the halo so the sanding only needs to be taken as far as 600 grit sandpaper. If you over-sand the gesso, the paint won’t stick.  I’m using an icon board which I gessoed last summer which I also sanded up to 120 grit paper. With hindsisght, I should have sanded it right up to 600 grit, as it is much easier to work outside in the warm than indoors in a UK January! Sanding gessoed boards is a dusty process so be prepared. Put a few sheets of newspaper over your worksurface and have your vacuum cleaner and a dust mask to hand. You will also need a medium sized dry paintbrush to brush the gesso dust out of the sandpaper, a cork sanding block and all the different grades of sandpaper to hand. Looking back on Dylan Hartley‘s notes which he gave us at our gessoing session last year (click here for a pdf copy SANDING ICON BOARDS by Dylan Hartley), Dylan reminds us that you should choose a place to sand where there is raking light ideally with one main light source. This helps to show up anomalies and scratches. The first sanding is done with 80 grit paper, then work up through 120, 180, 220, 320, 400 and 600 grades. It is important to use these in sequence and ensure that any grooves left by the gesso brushing are smoothed away.

Splitting sandpaper sheets and filing them by grade

In the UK, sandpaper is sold in sheets about A4 size. I hadn’t realised until Aidan showed us, that if you fold and tear the paper in half lengthwise, then tear these strips into three, you can get six pieces ready to wrap around your block. Given that you go through sandpaper very quickly, it is worth spending time folding, tearing and filing the different sized papers into envelopes which does helps the flow of work.

Keep brushing off clogged sandpaper

It is really important to brush the sandpaper often – as soon as you have sanded the board a few times, lift the block and brush. You can also vacuum up the clogged paper to save dust clouds forming. The whole process is a bit of a faff as my glasses steam up when I wear a dust mask and they get covered with dust! Rubbing in a pinch of red ochre with cotton wool is a really effective way of seeing where the scratches are hiding. Even with good raking light, it is easy to miss a scratch until you start painting – and they are difficult to disguise later.

Christmas greetings icon friends!

A few lines to say thank you for your companionship during my first year of icon painting. It has been lovely to have your quiet support and interest encouraging me to keep on posting and writing up notes etc!

There are a few more video clips of Aidan Hart’s in-class demonstrations over on You Tube and I have written up some supporting notes to go with them. These are not direct transcripts, simply notes to help as you try out the various stages of painting.

I have enjoyed the monochrome icon studies on watercolour paper and thought I would have another go at the Archangel Gabriel based on the Annunciation of Ustyug. I stretched some Fabriano Artistico paper and painted using the membrane technique. The colours are much softer on paper – lines are not quite as crisp unless you go over them several times. However, it is a great way of practicing if you haven’t got a board prepared.

It is a better attempt than my last one but there is a long way to go before I become fluent and produce anything nearly as elegant as the original. All the same, it comes with my very best wishes for a happy, peaceful and blessed Christmas wherever you are in the world. Thanks for reading.

Happy Christmas, Ronnie

Gilders’ Tips

scratched gilding

Thumbs down for the gilding. Mixing water and oil gilding too difficult to troubleshoot!

Hello Icon Friends, I have been quiet on the blog, sparing you the details of my gilding efforts until I had something useful to share.  I deliberately chose to work on bigger boards as I thought it would quickly show up all the places where I could go adrift. It did just that. Lesson one. Start with a small board, or even better, start with a practice board as Lee Harvey suggests. Water gilding is a difficult skill to master! Some of the students have made notes on their tips which you can read about here: Gilders Tips. Anyway, I wasn’t too pleased with the water gilding that I did in class for my mandilion so I sanded the lot off and applied 18 fresh layers of bole and started again – I think my bole consistency was a bit too thin. Once it had dried, I sanded and polished the bole and was really encouraged when I managed to get a deep shine. Good so far!

Bole layers

Fresh layers of bole applied to support water gilding – allow it to dry at least 24hrs before sanding and polishing.

However, the water gilding process got the better of me and even after quadruple gilding, four books of gold and five days solid of faulting and polishing, the results are still average! The final appearance looks much the same as one layer of oil gilding and only slightly better than what I had sanded off in the first place.

I also painted my third attempt at the monochromes of Christ (for the Mandilion) and the Virgin, which I was reasonably happy with, so all set to begin the transfer on to the gessoed icon boards next session. My next post will include links to another set of You Tube clips of Aidan Hart demonstrating the different stages of the membrane technique. My final note is to say a couple of farewells. We all wish our fellow student, Susan O all the very best. We will miss you on the course Susan and hope that you keep in touch. A fond farewell to my beloved pet Norman. He was a larger than life character who once trampled over my keyboard typing in the letters Vatopedi as he went and inadvertently googling images of a Greek Orthodox Monastery. He recently got sick with secondary poisoning and much as I tried to keep him indoors (shown here) this weekend he got killed on the road.

Meet my mistakes!

Annunciation of Ustyug, Novgorod, 12th Century

Annunciation of Ustyug, Novgorod, 12th Century

Hello icon friends,

It is one thing hearing how to do something and another altogether applying it via the end of a brush or pencil. I set out to try another upper body monochrome of the Archangel Gabriel from the beautiful image of the Annunciation above and in the course of this I have befriended a whole group of mistakes – let me introduce a few!

I lightly sketched out the image ready to paint over but saw immediately that I had run into difficulties. First of all, I didn’t get the overall composition right.

Preliminary sketch of Gabriel

I had set out the upper body study on A3 paper but in doing so found I had cut off the hand. This seemed to lose the whole point as the hands are so expressive of the whole message that the image contains. Looking at it now, for this exercise I should have zoomed in and concentrated on the face and upper arm, but I had started so I carried on.

Sketch comparisons

Secondly, I couldn’t get the face, in particular the eyes, quite right.  I did a cross check between the original and my drawing by forming a simple square to enclose the head, then joined the diagonals to find the centre point of reference. I was pleased to see that the point landed in exactly the same spot on my drawing, but it showed immediately where the rest of the face had gone astray. The nose leant too far over and the eyebrows had fallen down.

Adjusting the features but there is still something not right

Adjusting the features but there is still something not right – the eye on the right and the tilt of the head?

After a few days away from this drawing, I still couldn’t quite see where they were going adrift so I traced over the original eyes to clarify their shape and laid them over my drawing.

Tracing the profile of the originals to identify where I am going wrong

One slight move of of one feature has repercussions elsewhere so the brows, nose, mouth, cheek profile all got adjusted and brought into alignment. I suppose that speaks on another level too, to always go back to the source to bring something of ourselves that is out of step back into alignment.

With all the rubbing out and rearranging I had made quite a mess of my paper. I thought hard about all that I had learnt and decided that I would take a bit of a leap and redo the whole image again but on larger paper. So, next time I will tell you about how I made a fresh crop of mistakes as I move onto A2 paper. Thanks for reading!

8 Oberlo Tips You Need to Know as a Dropshipper

Ever wanted to learn how to remove logos from your pictures? Or how to separate all the product variants into their own product pages? In this article, we share a growing list of Oberlo hacks to help you run your store more effectively. These Oberlo tips include some of the most common issues store owners like you have asked about when just starting out. And so if you want to learn about some of the most underrated Oberlo features, this is the article for you.

So let’s get started!

Don’t wait for someone else to do it. Hire yourself and start calling the shots.

Get Started Free

8 Oberlo Tips You Need to Know as a Dropshipper

1. Split variants into their own products – Oberlo Tips

Have you ever imported a product into your store that had several different styles that all look completely different? Did you wish you could just separate them into their own product pages to so that more people could see all the styles? This tends to happen a lot in niches like electronics, fashion, beauty and more.

Fortunately, there’s one really simple way to do this.

  1. Go to the Oberlo App
  2. Click on Import List
  3. On the product you want to split, click Action > Split Product
  4. All products become separated on their own product pages

Keep in mind that you’ll now have more products to write unique descriptions for (to avoid a duplicate content penalization from Google). However, it increases the likelihood that you’ll be found organically for long-tail keywords since you’ve divided the products accordingly. It also helps make navigation easier while allowing your customers to find products that would’ve otherwise been hidden.

2. Take advantage of the Oberlo Chrome Extension – Oberlo Tips

You can install the free Oberlo Chrome extension to make it easier to fulfill orders for products that you sourced from AliExpress.

Actually finding products on from AliExpress can be done inside of Oberlo. You can see order data and reviews for AliExpress products within Oberlo, which means the only time you’ll head over to AliExpress is when you fulfill your orders – which is where the Chrome extension comes in.

3. Set Up Tracking Information in Backend – Oberlo Tips

Do you constantly get bombarded with questions about when products will be arriving? There’s a tool you can set up to give your customers the order shipment and tracking information they need.

An important note to mention that many new Oberlo store owners forget to fulfill orders in Oberlo’s back end. Remember: fulfilling an order on Shopify doesn’t fulfill it in Oberlo. You need to log-into the Oberlo app to process the order, otherwise our systems won’t detect it.

You can set up the tracking information and order shipment details so that they get delivered to customers automatically to reduce the number of emails you send out regarding this.

  1. Go to the Oberlo app
  2. Settings > Connected Shops > Shop Settings >General Tab scroll down
  3. Under custom shipping tracking URL add this link: https://t.17track.net/en?nums=
  4. Then, make sure there’s a check mark under ‘Notify customers about order fulfillment’
  5. Click Save Settings
  6. Then, you need to change the default email notification template
  7. First go to the Shopify admin > Settings > Notifications > Shipping confirmation
  8. Replace all the code in the Email Body (HTML) box with the code HERE
  9. View the Preview
  10. If a customer wants to receive the email again, hit the ‘Resend Email’ button on the Shopify > Orders > customer’s order page
  11. If a customer wants the tracking information prior to when you set it up, you need to go to the Oberlo app > Orders and click on the envelope button for their specific order

4. How to Stop Suppliers from Sending Invoices and Marketing Flyers – Oberlo Tips

A supplier isn’t going to know you’re dropshipping unless you tell them. After receiving an order, they’ll likely assume it’s a new customer. So naturally, they might send invoices or marketing materials to them. But there is a way to stop them from doing so.

A custom note can be sent to every supplier to help prevent invoices and other marketing materials from being sent to the customer.

  1. Go to the Oberlo app
  2. Click Settings > Suppliers > Custom Note
  3. In the box, you can add text that reads, “Hi there, we are dropshipping this product. Please do not add any invoices, promotional material or any branded logos in this package. Please ship this package promptly to ensure continued business. Thank you! (your name)”

5. How to Choose ePacket as Your Preferred Shipping Method – Oberlo Tips

Do you want your products to be shipped to customers in the cheapest and fastest way possible? ePacket shipping tends to be the most popular among dropshippers as your products can be delivered in as little as a week. The average shipping cost tends to be under $5 keeping your costs low while delivering within a time frame that’s more acceptable for the average consumer.

  1. Go to Settings in Oberlo
  2. Click on Suppliers
  3. Under Default Shipping Method select ePacket

6. What’s the best payment gateways for your specific country? – Oberlo Tips

Every country has its own set of payment gateways that work best for them. In the United States, PayPal is one of the most popular payment gateways, but PayPal isn’t available in every country. Fortunately, Shopify has created a list of popular payment gateways available for each country that can help you find the best one for your store.

7. How to Sell Products from Oberlo on Non Shopify Websites

Do you have a WordPress blog or an online store on another platform? Do you wish you could sell products from Oberlo on it? Luckily, products found on Oberlo can be sold on non Shopify websites simply by adding the Shopify Buy Button to those sites.

The Buy Button works on WordPress, Squarespace, Tumblr, your own website or wherever you’ve built an audience. By adding the Buy Button to a non-Shopify platform, you’ll benefit from having product pages, an embedded cart, and a secure checkout. You’ll need to keep track of orders on your Shopify dashboard. All you need to do is add the Buy Button as a sales channel on your store to use this handy feature.

8. How to Change Suppliers for the Same Product – Oberlo Tips

Did you come across a supplier who didn’t meet your expectations? If you’d like to change your supplier without changing your product page, you can easily do that on Oberlo.

  1. Go to your Oberlo app
  2. Click on My Products
  3. Go to the specific product
  4. Click Action
  5. Click Override this Product
  6. Under Override With, add the link for the product you want as a replacement
  7. Click Override

"We don’t have any positive pictures of adulthood"

If growing up is so hard, why should we do it? In her book „Why grow up?“, Susan Neiman ponders our idealized image of childhood and fear of adulthood.

Our societies cherish youth as the prime time of human life. Do you think we do so because this period of our lives is so alluring or because we are just disenchanted with adulthood?
I think it is due to the fact that we don’t have any positive pictures of adulthood. We completely idealize childhood, but if you spend some time around young children, you realize that there is a considerable amount of anger and frustration involved in being a child. Growing up, every step you take is a challenge. But even though it takes a lot of effort, every child, except maybe the mythological Peter Pan, wants to grow up, because they associate it with gaining more power and abilities. And childhood is not even the hardest period in the process of growing up.
Which one is the hardest?
I think we can divide the process of growing up into specific phases. The second phase, which stretches across the years 18-28, is probably the hardest. It’s the first time that you are forced to make your own decisions and there is a feeling that every decision could shape the rest of your life: “What am I going to study?”, “What job do I want?”, “Is this the love of my life?” – all these questions pop up and you think that no mistake is allowed. When you get past that point, you realize, that mistakes are actually allowed and that they are even inevitable. But empirical research has proved time and time again that this second phase is by far the hardest time we live through.
Why, then, do we idealize this time that nobody wants to repeat?
That is the question I tried to address with my book “Why grow up?”. Grownups tell young people constantly that they are currently living in the prime of their life and that they should make the most of it because it’s only going downhill from here on. We basically tell them to not expect anything from adulthood – which means not to demand anything from life.
By that, adults put young people under a lot of pressure to make the most out of these “precious years”.
Exactly, and it is not really doing anyone a favor. A lot of the most avid readers or reviewers of the book were all under 30 and a lot of them came to me to thank me for pointing out that growing up is hard and that youth is not necessarily the best part of life.
In the book, you refer to empirical evidence commonly known as the “U-Bend”, which reveals that most people are the happiest in the later stages of their lives – because they have learned to curb their expectations.
Lower expectations vis-à-vis life could be one explanation. But it might just as well be that at a later stage you just know yourself much better than you did when you were young. You know your strengths and weaknesses, you know how to think for yourself and you care less about other people’s opinions, so you are less afraid of mistakes.
And even if you do mistakes, you don’t have to live with the consequences for the next 50 years.
(laughs) I don’t know about that, to be honest. Even 15 years is a long time to live with the consequences of a bad decision. But time certainly does play a role. As a young person, you don’t think too much about the time you have left. As you grow older, you learn to appreciate it and make the most of it.

“You only look good if you look deceptive”

There is the cultural key word, “FoMo”, which refers to the fear of missing out. It comes from this feeling that we are fighting an uphill battle against time and that youth will be over sooner than we want to.
Do you know how many things people deny themselves because they believe their youth is over? I have done a lot of interviews on the book and one of the weirder questions I got always came from German journalists: whether I think that people who still ride motorcycles or wear trendy clothes in their forties should grow up. That is the exact opposite of what I am trying to say. But I understand the question, because there is this wide-spread view that you cannot be a grown-up and still ride a motorcycle. The view that you have to trade in a lot of fun things for maturity. This fosters the idea that at some point, the fun time is over and that creates fear and pressure.
We live according to someone else’s framework of rules. The question is: who makes those rules?
A lot of rules are self-perpetuating because we live in a social world. We can’t really escape these social structures so we are constantly surrounded by an enormous amount of information that defines for us what’s age-appropriate and what’s not. It starts with a banal compliment that already people in their mid-20s like to hear: “Oh, you look younger than that”. At some point, we are forced to believe that youth is something worth aspiring to and that age is to be avoided. This almost implies that you only look good if you look deceptive. When we describe someone as “young at heart” and admire this person for it, it is also just a covert way of setting a framework that we don’t really think about.
We have this desire to look younger, but what’s fascinating is that when we are growing up, we want nothing more than to look and act older.
It’s an insult if someone calls you a kid!
Are we then doomed to always live out of sync with time?
I wrote my book as a plea for trying to be in sync with time and to show that there can be a good vision or version of adulthood. Adulthood has been understood to be synonymous with resignation and that’s what’s keeping us from growing up.
You write that we’ve been fooled by a false idea of maturity. How so exactly?
It’s exactly this: the idea that adulthood means resignation to the status quo and leaving behind all your wishes and expectations. It’s basically about accepting the world as it is – but the world as it is sucks! This world, as it is should not be accepted! As I write in the book, adulthood should be keeping one eye on the world as it is, the other eye on how it ought to be and keeping the two in balance. It’s a very difficult exercise.
We are constantly trapped between cynicism on the one hand and idealism on the other. How can you keep the balance?
By constantly working on it. There is no recipe and there can’t be one because a recipe would be counter to the vital exercise of thinking for yourself. I don’t really think I have a gene for cynicism in my body – which is something a lot of adults have in abundance – but I do feel despair from time to time because I see both how the world is and how it ought to be. The time we live in surely isn’t one in which it is easy to be hopeful.
Idealizing childhood might be a coping strategy, we usually think back to childhood and retrospectively consider it a carefree time.
A friend recently told me that her five-year old son asked her for a rocket, so that he could travel to a different planet because he was so fed up with this one. Kids pick up more than we think. When I was a kid, I had nightmares about nuclear warfare, like most people in my generation. Children are not as sheltered from the outside world as we think. But I also think that there is another very important aspect here.
The infantilization of society is also a tactic to distract people from becoming real adults and to keep them from asking the important questions. Does a government want critical, functional adults or obedient children? It’s similar to a kid in the supermarket.
How so?
We know that supermarkets place the candy and toys at a certain height, so that kids can easily see and grab it. The industrial psychologists who came up with this knew that a kid in a supermarket, whose patience has been tested for maybe half an hour, will start screaming for the candy. So, what do you do as a parent? If you are an authoritarian parent, you might hit the child. If not, you use a certain strategy that parents pick up immediately: you offer the child two possibilities that are not connected to the object they desired in the first place. You tell them for example that they can either have the blue or the red car but not both. The child has to make a decision and is distracted from what it originally wanted. We live in a society that does that to us all the time by putting this infinite number of trivial choices in front of us: Do I want the iPhone 5 or 6? Holiday in Japan or in Spain? We’ve distracted ourselves from the fact that the real choices are not in our hands.
Besides these trivial choices, a person growing up today also has much more choices when it comes to jobs or places to live. The world has become more mobile, which has lead to more possibilities.
Well, it goes further than that. Today, people who feel trapped in the wrong body are able to choose a different life for themselves. But other than that, I wouldn’t say that people had fewer choices back in the days. About 250 years ago, that might have been true. But at least since the Enlightenment, people shaped their own lives. I grew up in the 1960s and I remember that everyone around me was flat-out rejecting the way of life their parents or society wanted to impose on them. I even heard someone saying the other day, that my generation had more choices job-wise, because the economy was in a better state.
But there were fewer jobs in terms of what you can do and how.
That’s true, there are a lot of jobs that didn’t exist 30-40 years ago and people are a lot more mobile. I don’t know if it’s better or worse; it’s just different. I think the level of personal freedom has stayed the same but the amount of choice has increased.

“Children can cope with more than we believe”

What we cherish about childhood is a certain sense of wonder for the seemingly mundane. Is there a way to keep that as an adult or will experience and logic always destroy it?
I think this sense of wonder is idealized too. Have you ever tried to get a kid to watch a beautiful landscape?
No, but a spoon usually does the trick.
A baby will be fascinated by a spoon or keys but it will stop once they’ve seen the keys a couple of times. Once they figure out how something works, the wonder is gone. So I don’t think it’s the same sense of wonder we have. We are still amazed by things we have long figured out.
We have talked about childhood and what springs to mind is the “happy childhood”, which seems to be a determining force. Yet childhood itself is a very recent concept and the happy childhood even more so. Are we at a point yet where we can properly define what makes a childhood happy?
No. For a very long time, a kid was nothing else than a small grown-up. They had to work and prepare themselves to one day take over their parent’s role in society. There is a very good book by David Lancy called “The Anthropology of Childhood”, in which he examines the concept of childhood across different societies. He especially focuses on what he calls WEIRD societies, which are Western Educated Industrial Rich Democracies, and their obsession with a happy childhood. He argues that the efforts that our societies put into this are so rare, both historically and anthropologically. He describes how in traditional societies, children are not pampered but expected to help their parents and to learn everything through observation. Of course, this family model is slowly dying out because of globalization and the way of life it brings with it, but it’s still relatively widespread.
Part of the reason why we pamper kids so much is because we perceive them to be very vulnerable and we don’t want to fail them. In the book, you use the quote from Descartes that “human unhappiness is due to the fact that we begin our lives as children” …
Which is not something you would say today, but you are absolutely right, there is this feeling that children are utterly vulnerable. Every parent knows that the first two years, you are just trying to keep your child alive and let no harm come to it. It is a biological impulse, certain animals have it too, but I think children can actually cope with more than we sometimes believe.
British psychoanalyst Donald Witticott argues that parents even have to fail from time to time, so that the children learn that failure is normal and that they are not surrounded by infallible, god-like creatures. Maybe parents should worry less about being good parents and more about being too good?
Parents will fail either way. There is no way you can always be right.
Just like the old saying that everybody gets the chance to screw up their kids in their own way.
Exactly. There is a poem called “This be the verse” by Philip Larkin that starts like this:

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

Larkin was a misanthropist and the message of the poem is that we should all just die soon and not have children. But of course there is some truth in these lines in the sense that no parent is infallible.
Could you please give us a short and concluding answer to the question of your book: Why grow up?
Because we are going to grow old anyway and growing up and taking responsibility is a subversive alternative to simply giving in.

Dr. AK Ghosh, director of India’s AMCA fifth-generation fighter program will be a relieved man today after incoming new Air Chief Marshal Rakesh Kumar Singh Bhadauria completely backed India’s only 5th generation AMCA fighter jet program and also stressed that IAF is not keen on importing Fifth Generation fighter aircraft like Su-57E or F-35 from Russia or USA, thus making AMCA jet lone 5th Generation fighter jet marked for entry in the IAF in near future.

Ghosh while speaking at Aero India 2019 earlier this year had informed that he aircraft design is in final stages of the development and full 1:1 scale model of the AMCA will be ready for RCS measurements at ORANGE (Open Test Range Facility for radar Cross Section Antenna Measurement) laboratory later this year.

Ghosh also stressed that like the LCA-Tejas program, AMCA will have its first flight by 2025-26 and will have a developmental timeline of at least 10 years for induction to take place by 2035. In the initial stage, AMCA Prototypes will use a Baseline F-414 engines supplied by the General Electric but will switch to high power engines with thrust vectoring nozzles at later stages.

AMCA will be getting an upgraded Next Generation UTTAM AESA Fire Control Radar which is already under development. IAF is likely to place orders for nearly 200 AMCA fighter jet when it is ready for induction from 2035 onwards when most of India’s fighter jet fleet of French and Russian original will start retiring.

House gutter cleaning service

Posted on Posted by Shaktit

Dust forms a layer on the bottom of the gutters that can end up being heavy and may increase the number of leakages and fractures in the system. Waxhaw Concord. Submitted request for work on Friday evening, was contacted Saturday and scheduled for Monday!

House gutter cleaning service carport costco

Waxhaw Concord. Gutter cleaning is an overlooked home maintenance chore. Clean gutters allow water to be carried away from your home which protects your roof, woodwork, walls and windows, basements and foundations. Clogged gutters are the number one cause of water damage to foundations and the number one cause of basement flooding.

These can lead to expensive repair bills or mold and mildew issues. Read our online gutter cleaning FAQs for more details on our process and how our gutter cleaning process can help protect your home. Check our video on gutter cleaning cost Charlotte NC below!

If you do that, you can anticipate your guttering to have a long life expectancy and to continue to secure your house from rainwater damage for years. You might have to clean gutters more regularly in some locations than in others. Not all climate conditions and environments are the exact same, making the upkeep requirements different from one location to the next.

What you have to consider most is your surroundings and the weather conditions in your area. Particles and dirt enter the gutter from several sources. Trees are the worst offenders for soiling up your gutters , since the leaves and sticks can cause big clogs and make a big mess. Sometimes, they will even launch their seeds, which land in the dirt in gutters and begin to grow.

Houses with three or more trees and high bushes nearby will need more frequent gutter cleaning. You may need to do it as often as four times a year, or once every three months. Besides locations with lots of trees, homes that are surrounded by a great deal of dust will also require semi-frequent gutter cleaning. Dust forms a layer on the bottom of the gutters that can end up being heavy and may increase the number of leakages and fractures in the system.

Silt and dirt sitting in the gutters should not be left long, so you just need to go up and check out the system times a year. How does the weather effect gutter cleaning? Gutters are fantastic for catching and transferring water, but if the water sits still against a clog, there can be more problems in some seasons than in others.

Winter season and springtime bring different concerns. If you reside in a location that experiences cold winters, you will have to clean your gutters well prior to it the cold weather creating ice. Water caught in the gutters can easily become ice that weighs too heavily on the gutters. Added weight will make the gutters droop and eventually break, or it can break holes or cracks in the metal. Springtime, on the other hand, is typically the time of year with the most rainfall.

Gutters that are too filthy will not manage the rains well enough to get water far from the house. Clean gutters are needed to deal with the spring rains. Any blockages might become overruning, dripping gutters that put water all over rather of sending it to a safe drain location. If you have a multi-level house, your ladder may not be sufficient to reach the gutters, and the task might not be safe even if you are able to reach the gutters.

You may also have difficulty with the style or design of your home if your gutters are made in an uncommon pattern or shape. One of the biggest advantages of a gutter cleaning business is their ability to acknowledge issues in the gutters and do small repairs before things get worse. You may not see the concern right away, but an experienced eye can see something occurring prior to it getting bad, and will be able to repair the issue for you at the same time.

This is the reason that employing a rain gutter cleaning service is a much better choice. But some individuals balk at the concept of hiring a rain gutter cleaning company since they do not want to spend for it. This is a mistake. It is very easy to assemble and disassemble. Its U-shape allows it to easily reach otherwise inaccessible nooks and corners of a gutter, roof, car engines, etc. In addition to that, the water flow pressure is psi, which allows effective cleaning of the heavily clogged gutters.

All of the mentioned products are equally good gutter cleaning tools for 2 story house. Hopefully, they will reach the 2nd story of your house, at the very least they should help you stay safe close to the ground. You may need a ladder to reach certain sections of your gutters, but overall all of these should help you clean your gutters safer. My two personal favorites are the iRobot Looj Gutter Cleaning Robot and the Orbit telescoping gutter cleaning wand for the reasons already mentioned under the description of these magical tools.

Happy choosing and happy cleaning and stay safe! Tired of climbing up ladders all loaded with brooms and sticks to clean your 2 story house gutters, roof ledges, and windows? Cleaning your gutters is an extremely important and unavoidable task.

Food and moisture for insects to live and breed including earthworms, carpenter ants, mosquitoes, and earwigs. Rotting wood. The wood fascia around your home will begin to deteriorate and rot due to the clogged gutters overflowing. Deterioration of Foundation. Clogged gutters will cause water to overflow and collect around the foundation of your home, which if not taken care of could lead to cracks in your foundation and ultimately water in your basement.

Overflowing gutters can cause consistent dampness in landscaping beds which promotes mold and fungus. Ice Dams. In the winter, clogged gutters can cause water to build up onto the roof, something is known as ice dams. The water build-up ends up leaking into your attic and home and causes thousands of dollars of water damage inside. Ideally, gutters should be cleaned 2x a year but at the very least at least once per year. At that time you should grab your gutter cleaning tools for 2 story house.

Also, it is a well-known fact that nobody can clean your place according to our satisfaction and there will always be some kind of damage if you will rely on some company or private worker to clean your gutters, windows, or roof ledges.

“On Revolution Roads” exhibition opening in Ljubljana

Tanja Lažetić z Dejan Habicht, Pot spominov in tovarištva (PST, 100 fotografij, 2001; Ni spominov, ni tovarištva, 2006, video, 5′; Spominski kamni, 94 fotografij , 2008; Rdeče zvezde, fotografije in besedilo, 2008)

Moderna Galerija, Ljubljana, 18.6.2016. – 28.6.2016.

The introduction of memorial tourism as a segment of tourism in socialist Yugoslavia is still an unresearched postwar phenomenon of the development of Yugoslav tourism that most definitely influenced the overall reception of Yugoslavia’s memorial and other heritage, especially its artistic, architectural, and urban-planning achievements. The introduction of monuments and memorial objects of the national liberation front as a product for tourists and the following commercialization of the symbolic as well as the historical and political dimensions of monuments dedicated to the national liberation struggle  impacted the mechanisms of monument protection and the management of then already existing monuments, including the concepts for future monuments to the liberation struggle and the different modes of their financing. The expression “memorial tourism” should be taken with a grain of salt//some reservation since it emphasizes the commercial function of the monuments to the socialist liberation struggle as their predominant trait, thereby ignoring the complexity of their historical-political background and their symbolic, social and political functions. This is precisely what the artists that joined this exhibition show us: all the different sides of dealing with what was once our common or shared heritage, both artistically and politically. Their questions and answers range from socialism to capitalism, revisionism, oblivion and/or the compulsion to remember, and even towards such supposedly simple things as sightseeing, traveling, the agony of waiting, etc. This exhibition has already been on view in Zagreb, Sarajevo, Kraljevo, and Belgrade. It is the first result produced by the partners joined in the international project Inappropriate Monuments and their outside collaborators.

The two-year international project Inappropriate Monuments will finish in 2017 with an exhibition dedicated to Slovenian monuments of the national liberation struggle. The exhibition will be prepared in collaboration with art history students from the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana.

Spied - IAB reader snaps the Indianized grille of the Renault Lodgy [Video]

16/09/2014 - 12:19 | ,  ,   | Anjan Ravi

Launches early next year.

Indian Autos Blog reader, Mr. J. Senthil Kumar, snapped the Renault Lodgy MPV while it was testing in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. While the vehicle is camouflaged, the grille element of the Lodgy seems different compared to the Renault-badged model sold overseas. A chrome-rich grille could be seen exclusive to the Indian model as one of the region-specific design touches.

Renault Lodgy MPV spied grille
The Renault Lodgy could get a chrome-rich grille for India.

A small glimpse at the interior reveals beige dashboard inserts, circular AC vents and chrome-ringed dials, similar to what is seen on the Renault Duster. In fact, the Lodgy is based on the platform of the Duster, and will be competitively localized in India.

[Can't see the video above? Head to Youtube]

Powering the people mover will be the famous 1.5-liter four-cylinder K9K diesel engine, which is also seen on the Evalia (one of the Lodgy's many competitors) apart from many Renault and Nissan models. If introduced in the 85 PS (83.83 bhp) power state, the engine will likely be paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Renault India currently depends on the Duster to run its business, and products like the Lodgy and XBA (small car) are required if the manufacturer wants to realize the doubling of its market share from 2.6 to 5 percent within the next two years.

Competitors: Maruti Ertiga, Honda Mobilio, Toyota Innova, Chevrolet Enjoy

Expected Price: INR 7-10 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi

Launch date: Early 2015

What are lipoproteins and how do they impact your health

Lipoproteins are spherical particles that are found throughout the body and carry fats and proteins.

There are two ways in which a person gets the fat that the body needs: through the diet and those that the body itself produces, called endogenous fats.

Historically, fats or lipids have had a bad press: they have been associated almost exclusively with obesity and cardiovascular disease.

But this is not completely true. Although there are fats that harm health, there are others that are essential for the body to function.

Below we describe the most important types of lipoproteins, and their functions, advantages and disadvantages.

Lipoprotein types

Chylomicrons. They are lipoproteins rich in triglycerides, which are produced by intestinal cells from fats that come from food.

Very low density lipoproteins (VLDL’s). They are lipoproteins also rich in triglycerides produced by the liver.

Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). They are the main carriers of cholesterol in the blood, taking it from the liver to the tissues that need cholesterol such as the adrenal glands.

High-density lipoproteins (HDLs). These lipoproteins do the reverse way to the previous ones: they carry cholesterol from the tissues to the liver.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in every cell in the body. The body needs some cholesterol to make hormones, vitamin D, and substances that help it digest food.

Your body produces all the cholesterol it needs, as we have already said. But cholesterol is also found in foods of animal origin, such as egg yolks, meat and cheese, which causes their levels in the body to increase when consuming these foods.

However, what few know is that endogenous cholesterol, the one produced by your body, is regulated based on the amount of food you eat that is high in cholesterol.

At least 25% of the world population achieves an organic cholesterol balance due to this compensation mechanism.

READ  Why is it good to eat lentils in hot weather?

But others must control their cholesterol for the following reasons.

If you have too much cholesterol in your blood, it can combine with other substances and form plaques. The plaque sticks to the walls of your blood vessels. This accumulation is called arteriosclerosis. It can cause coronary artery disease, which can narrow or even block them.

If you have large plaque deposits in your arteries, a piece of plaque can break. This can cause a blood clot to form. If the clot is large enough, it can block some or all of the blood flow in a coronary artery.

If the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle is reduced or blocked, it can cause angina (chest pain) or a heart attack.

Plaque can also build up in other arteries in your body, including those that carry oxygen-rich blood to your brain and extremities. This can lead to problems like carotid artery disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.

Balance: how to improve lipoprotein levels

Although the numbers of healthy lipoprotein levels have varied over time, healthy levels are currently considered to be:

  • Triglycerides: below 150 milligrams per deciliter.
  • LDL cholesterol: below 100 milligrams per deciliter.
  • HDL cholesterol: at least 60 milligrams per deciliter.

Although genetics has a role in your levels or how your body controls cholesterol levels, the following is a list to stick in the fridge, what you can do on your part to maintain a healthy balance.

Eat more fiber. Legumes, whole grains, whole products, fruits, nuts, seeds, all these products can help you lower LDL cholesterol (popularly known as bad cholesterol) and also triglycerides, by 5 to 10%.

Reduce body fat. Achieving a healthy weight, your ideal weight, can help keep cholesterol levels stable and prevent heart disease.

Increase physical exercise. Walking, walking, walking, or any other aerobic exercise will boost your body to lower cholesterol levels.

Limit consumption of meats and processed foods, and sugar. Although popular, sausages and bacon are your enemies if you have high cholesterol, or want to keep it at a healthy level. The same goes for sugar.

Research also suggests that quitting smoking, getting enough sleep, reducing stress, and reducing alcohol consumption can help improve blood lipid levels.

Consult with your GP because this is when you should start taking care of yourself to add healthy years to your life.

Qualitative Research & Tools

Find tutorials about conducting Qualitative research, including resources on methodologies and software.

Note the date of these sites, as software changes frequently!

Popular Software

All the major Qualitative software packages have implemented an exchange file format allowing you to transfer your project from one software to another. You can export to an exchange file and import that file into another softwar.e

  • Codebook Exchange - Allows the codebook to be transferred from one software to another.
    • ATLAS.ti, Dedoose, f5analyse, MAXQDA, NVivo, QDA Miner, Quirkos, Transana
  • Project Exchange  -  Allows the entire project to be converted from one software to another.

Free/Open Source

  • Taguette - Nice-looking web interface -- local or server install. Supports basic code and retrieve with tags.
  • QCoder - R package with some GUI options.

These make it easier to collaborate with others and offer per-month pricing, which can be useful for shorter project

  • Atlas.ti Cloud - Slick, mostly code-and-retrieve, with colored (but not hierarchical) codes/tags
  • Dedoose - Full-featured software designed for mixed methods projects with fewer but more complex codes (allows ratings)

These do not seem to have advantages over the above at this time, unless simplicity is the primary goal.

  • f4analyse - Evolved from transcription software. Available for Linux. Limited to RTF files, but very simple coding and clean interface.
  • HyperRESEARCH - Mac-like multi-window interface. Easy to code and does not require a powerful computer. Demo mode for small projects.
  • Quirkos - Simplistic visual interface with expanding bubbles representing used codes.
  • transana  - Evolved from transcription software

Teaching with Qualitative Software

Mason does not have a site license for any Qualitative software.

It is important to distinguish between full-featured Qualitative packages and basic code-and-retrieve software. Although it is good for students to be exposed to full-featured software, the basic packages can be far easier to learn.

Among the full-featured software, NVivo is the most flexible and familiar of all the options and thus is a good choice for teaching. Thus, the Digital Scholarship Center Computer Lab has installed NVivo on all the computers in the lab and hosts classes for hands-on workshops when possible. DiSC maintains at least one license for each of the other major full-featured packages (MAXQDA, Atlas.ti, and QDA Miner), as each has special features that make it best for certain tasks.

Free and Cross-Platform

  • Taguette - Free and Open-Source (Python)
    • Available online (free registration), on your own server, or installed (local server)
    • Basic code-and-retrieve keeps it simple; server version allows collaborators.
  • MAXQDA - Free Course License for Students
    • For class use only, no license for the instructor
    • Fully-featured qualitative software with a free reader software for sharing

Extended Trials

  • Atlas.ti Cloud Trial version is limited in number of documents and codes
  • Atlas.ti - Trial version is limited in number of documents and codes
  • MAXQDA -30 day free trial
  • Dedoose - 30 day free trial, monthly pricing
    • Fully-featured online software. Designed for mixed-methods.

Other Software to Consider

  • QDA Miner Lite (Windows Only)
    • Basic code-and-retrieve, no limits. Project can be opened in the non-lite version.
