![]() ![]() I have an earlier tattoo on my right wrist of a pentangle, as I used to be a believer of Wicca. I had a Valknut inked onto my left wrist 8 years ago. Images of Stora Hammar and Tängelgarda stones are public domain. In modern times Valknut, like Triquetra and Horn Triskelion, is often interpreted as a symbol pointing to heathen convictions.Ĭopyright notice: Valknut images above are by © The Viking Rune. However, in Scandinavian context three multiplied by three might designate the nine worlds, which are united by the Yggdrasil tree. ![]() The number three is a very common magic symbol in many cultures. The original meaning and function of the valknut is not wholly clear. It was made of hard stone with three sharp-pointed corners just like the carved symbol Hrungnir’s Heart (hrungnishjarta).” This name is based on a description found in the Prose Edda: ![]() However, knot of the slain is not the only possible interpretation of the valknut. Other instances of the valknut in Viking ornaments are Lärbro stone, River Nene ring and a bedpost found on the Oseberg ship. The unicursal type of valknut (which can be drawn with one stroke) appears on Tängelgarda stone: All the symbols around the valknut, which is in the central position here, point to death and to Odin as a god of slain warriors. The other sign of Odin’s presence is a warrior hanged on a tree to the left of the mound. The spear is probably Gungnir, Odin’s weapon. A dead warrior is put there by someone with a spear and accompanied by another raven. Below the valknut is probably a burial mound. Here above the valknut we see a raven, Odin’s symbol. Consider the Borromean triangles type, which occurs on the Stora Hammar rune stone. One should keep that in mind when using the valknut in Viking tattoos or runic tattoos, since only the above two designs are genuine Viking valknuts. Note that other types of valknuts, such as closed three-link chain, never occur in the original Viking ornaments. The triangles may be joined in two ways: either as Borromean: Valknut is a Viking symbol of three interconnected triangles. The word valknut is a neologism: it is formed in modern times through combination of ON valr, ‘the dead’ or ‘the slain’ and knut, ‘knot’. ![]()

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Plaster: ![]() Many historic homes still retain their original plaster-coated exterior walls. Plaster-finished walls are extremely durable and long-lasting. When plastering a wall, the plaster finish is often built up in three or even more coats, which enables the Plaster to cure between layers and enhances the strength of the finished product. Plastering a wall is a professional activity that needs the patience to produce satisfactory results. Plaster is often sold as a dry powder that must be combined with water to achieve a paste-like consistency before use. This slatted wooden structure is fastened directly to the frame of the walls, providing a surface for the Plaster to adhere to. You will discover that a plaster surface is applied on a hardwood lath in the vast majority of homes. When you go to a DIY store and buy a contemporary plaster, the most frequent mineral compound you’ll discover is gypsum, which is the same mineral compound that’s used to manufacture drywall.īecause it does not need a binding agent, gypsum is a particularly useful substance for use in Plaster. Painting walls with Plaster dates back several thousand years, and there have been many various methods of doing it throughout the years, leading to an enormous range of diverse looks.Īccording to consensus, most plasters are composed of a mineral component coupled with a binding agent and then diluted with water. Plaster is typically a more traditional and artisanal finish for a wall because of its age and handmade nature. Because drywall is not moisture and water-resistant, it should not be used in bathrooms.Ī crucial component in constructing new homes and rehabilitating old ones, Plaster is frequently utilized in the same way that drywall is.If the sheets are not properly placed, the seams between the sheets will be evident.The durability of concrete is lower than that of Plaster.Because drywall is not as flexible as Plaster, it might not be easy to bend it to get the desired outcome in some situations.Drywall is heavy, so you’ll want to enlist the assistance of a partner to complete the installation.During the installation process, it creates chaos.To put the pieces on the wall studs, you’ll need to measure the area and cut enough pieces to cover the walls completely. In this case, the installation process is more difficult.On drywall, you may hang bookshelves and picture frames.There are many different sizes and varieties to pick from.Insulate against sound and temperature fluctuations. ![]()

![]() ![]() Using either enfocus pitstop or illustrator we may be able to make changes, but if the fonts are outlined, it makes it much, much harder.

I am a prepress operator for an offset printing company and i have never asked my customers to outline their fonts. So the next time, a printer says that you need to outline your fonts, just say NO! And start looking for another printer who will take your PDF with properly embedded fonts. The resulting PDF file can be viewed in Acrobat or free Adobe Reader on either Mac or Windows, or printed to almost any printer with the fonts intact. Guess what: Those attributes just disappear!Īlmost always, the best answer is to (1) use fonts which allow embedding, and (2) let InDesign embed the fonts (which it does by default) when you create a PDF file. Then select the text and choose Type > Create Outlines. Try adding these features to your InDesign type?underlining, strikethrough, bullets applied with the Bullets & Numbering feature, or footnotes. Certain attributes will be lost when outlining because they are not part of the font itself, but are applied by InDesign.Fonts have hinting built in, which makes them look good at low resolution. Why is this? The glyphs are turned into normal graphics which lack the intelligence that fonts have in displaying or printing text, particularly on lower resolution devices. The outlining of text will degrade the typographic quality of the text.Here are some other good reasons not to outline fonts: In fact, while some some font vendors’ licensing allows conversion of text to outlines, many expressly forbid it.” According to Claudia McCue’s excellent Real World Print Production (Peachpit Press), “Surprisingly…converting text to outlines does not sidestep the provisions of the font vendor’s EULA. Sometimes users think they can get around restrictions on sharing fonts with others by converting text to outlines. The truth is that InDesign always embeds fonts in the PDF if the font vendor’s End User License Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the EULA) says you can. Unfortunately, it’s perpetuated by some print service providers and others who insist that they won’t receive a PDF file unless the fonts have been outlined. Really only if you want to mess around with the glyph shapes for a special artistic effect. The truth is that you should almost never have to outline fonts. This is one of those urban myths of publishing?that you frequently need to outline fonts. Is it even necessary to outline the fonts? I was always under the impression that if you don’t and the person receiving the PDF doesn’t have the particular font on their computer, it will default to a different font in the PDF.” ![]() ![]() A person on the Adobe InDesign User to User Forum posed this question today: “I usually outline the fonts when I’m making PDFs to send to clients as proofs or to send to the printer. ![]() ![]() ![]() The spatial data for a grid is automatically split across multiple tiles if the size of the grid at the time of creation is larger than the upper limit for the size of a tile. As a result, most grids used for GIS applications are automatically stored in a single tile. The upper limit on the size of a tile is set by the application and is very large (currently set at 4,000,000 x 4,000,000 cells). The size of the tile for a grid is based on the number of rows and columns in the grid at the time of creation. Each block is stored as one variable-length record. Blocks are stored on disk in compressed form in a variable-length file structure referred to as a tile. Grids are implemented using a tiled raster data structure in which the basic unit of data storage is a rectangular block of cells. A multiple-band grid cannot have more than 9 characters in its file name, and a single-band raster dataset cannot have more than 13 characters. Caution:Īs with most formats, a grid should not be named with spaces or any other special characters in its name. Grids also carry additional information, such as the coordinate system associated with the grid. The coordinate system of a grid is thus defined by the cell size, the number of rows and columns, and the x,y coordinate of the upper left corner. Since each cell within a grid has the same dimension as other cells, the location and area covered by any cell is easily determined by its row and column. The rows and columns are parallel to the x- and y-axes of the coordinate system. The coordinate system of a grid is the same as that of other geographic data. An integer grid may have other INFO items added to its VAT whose range of values depends on the item definition.
![]() ![]() This indicates that the IDrive can be used as an alternative to pCloud, Google Drive, and other such services on top of its online backup feature. It helps in doubling the storage space effectively since filling the folder doesn’t eat away the backup storage. One thing that sets this online cloud storage apart is the inclusion of the sync and share feature, which is usually not offered by its competitors.Ī sync folder can be set up that can synchronize the contents automatically between devices. You would still be able to access your files even after deleting them locally. IDrive online backup can archive the previous 30 file versions. Other features include file deletion from the backup, transferring them to the trash area where they can still be recovered from, a share button that starts the web client option. The archive is extremely useful for users who want to store tons of file versions. This is not included in the overall backup limit. It also allows you to recover the files anytime from the timeline in case of hard drives damage. This feature is focused on addressing ransomware concerns and also shows the backup set’s historical timeline. IDrive reviews also rave about the snapshots. It allows you can select the file you want from the saved versions of the file. You can right-click the file to see the ‘View Previous Versions’ option. You have the option to choose the original backup device using the dropdown and move the file to your desktop directly, or restore them in the specified place using the checkboxes. Just like the backup capability, the IDrive restore tab comes with plenty of options. It depends on the size and may take days or weeks to complete. IDrive also gives a warning to the user that this option isn’t a replacement for scheduled backup since it is only for smaller files.Īdditionally, a hard drive clone can also be made by selecting ‘disk image backup’ for either a single drive or a complete system. When switched on, it will continuously back up files that are smaller than 500MB whenever there are changes made in them. ![]() IDrive backup also offers the capability of continuous data protection. In case your system is off, and upload is missed, the IDrive can be set to begin uploading automatically when the system switches on and send you an email notification when it fails or succeeds with the backup. The timing of the backup plan can be selected in the scheduler option of the IDrive, which can either be daily or hourly. The block-level transfer backs up data by scanning every file and uploading only the parts that have been changed, which saves data and increases the backup speed. In multithreaded transfers, multiple files can be transferred at once, which increases the speed of transfer but increases the CPU load. IDrive supports block-level and multithreaded transfers. The latter is an excellent option for those who don’t want to go through the whole procedure of backing up the hard drive manually. ![]() I Drive backup also gives you an option to conduct a non-scheduled backup with just one click. These folders can be removed and replaced manually by using the change button in the backup tab. Once you log in to IDrive, you will find a few folders by default for backup, including desktop, pictures, videos, music, and documents folders. Unlimited data can be backed up on the desktop, servers, mobile devices, or on the cloud. It even gives you the option to back up the data as a complete image of the hard drives. You can backup the data as individual files or in folders. So, how does IDrive work? It works by offering a wide variety of features that make it easy for you to backup, protect, and restore your data. It even includes the sync and sharing features that not only help it compete with backup services but even top cloud storage solutions, like Dropbox. It is an ideal cloud backup solution for individual usage and business purposes. ![]() It ticks off all the boxes when it comes to functionality. Our I Drive review will help you find out. Still, is IDrive the right choice for you? In a nutshell, it's one of the best backup software on the market. IDrive is suitable for individuals, small and large businesses looking for easy, effective, and affordable solutions to backup their data on the cloud. However, IDrive doesn’t offer any unlimited plans. The pricing plans are reasonable, and it even has a free plan. The service also efficiently protects the data from both intentional snooping and accidental loss. It offers a wide range of features, including backup process, file sharing, cloud synchronization, and more. IDrive is a cloud backup software, that’s been on the market since 2007. ![]() ![]() Well, I remember one time that, like, I went inside the classroom and she just, like, came up to me and she was like, you had better not talk this lesson and I wasn’t even talking at all.Īnother 15-year-old with disruptive behavior (in a mainstream school) said: ![]() One 15-year-old with disruptive behaviour (in a special school) said: She was always yelling Because she gave us a real hard book, and we were only in Year 1, and we couldn’t really read it that good įrequently, students’ descriptions of unfair treatment included pre-emptive punishments and reprimands: If I done the littlest thing wrong and someone done somethin’ major wrong, she would go for me first She just hated me, and I hated her.Īnother 10-year-old with no disruptive behaviour said: I usually have my earphones in and I just sit there and just listen to music she just like opened the door, seen me listening to music She comes up, grabs the earphones, she just rips them out of my ear ‘Listen to the teacher!‘Ī 16-year-old with disruptive behaviour (in a special school) said: One 13-year-old with disruptive behaviour (in a mainstream school) said: ShutterstockĪcross groups, 86% highlighted instances where they had perceived the teacher being unnecessarily hostile towards them, or where they felt they were treated unfairly. Nobody likes to feel like they’re being treated unfairly. Students in both groups overwhelmingly agreed on the key factors contributing to negative relationships.

Even highly disruptive students bonded with teachers who were caring, kind and funny. The reasons students liked teachers were almost identical across groups. If the student replied yes, we then asked what made the relationship good. We first asked students if they could remember any teachers they’d had a really good relationship with. We also wanted to determine if there were “contaminating ingredients” that could sour these relationships, even for exemplary students. We were particularly interested in the “magic ingredients” that would support positive student-teacher relationships, even for disruptive students. They were often high achieving (such as school prefects or A-students), and all attended a mainstream school. The second group consisted of 42 students with no history of disruptive behaviour. Around half were in a special behaviour school for disruptive behaviour, and the remainder attended a mainstream school. The first group we interviewed consisted of 54 students who had a history of disruptive behaviour, such as acting out in class or being frequently suspended. Group punishment doesn't fix behaviour – it just makes kids hate school ![]() Even self-described troublemakers and class clowns often remember a specific teacher who stood up for them, who took them under their wing, or who changed their perceptions of school for the better. Teachers often rate relationships with such students to be low in closeness and high in conflict.īut these relationships aren’t always negative. Past research shows students with disruptive behaviour are more likely to experience negative relationships with their teachers than their less disruptive peers. ![]() ![]() ![]() The bird’s tail is rigid and straight, serving as a brace to help it maintain its balance when climbing the trunks or branches of trees.
