![]() Ring sizes in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland are designated by letters for both full and half sizes. ![]() The numerical scale for ring sizes in the United States ranges from 1 to 13, with a half size and quarter sizes available. Navigating International Ring Size Systemsĭifferent countries have their own ring sizing systems, which can create confusion when purchasing rings from international sellers or comparing sizes between different countries. Consider getting a free ring sizer from a jewelry store or online retailer to ensure accuracy.īy following these ring sizing tips, you can measure ring size accurately and find a ring that fits perfectly.Compare the measurement to a ring size chart to determine your ring size.Use a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your finger.Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is warm and slightly swollen.Some tips for measuring your ring size accurately include: For optimal comfort, the ring should fit snugly on the finger, yet be able to slide over the knuckle with minimal effort. Furthermore, the fingers on the dominant hand are generally larger. It is recommended to measure one’s ring size at the end of the day when the fingers are warm, as finger size may vary depending on the time of day and the weather. To ensure a proper fit, it’s helpful to consult a men’s ring size chart. Getting the right ring size is important for comfort and to prevent the ring from slipping off or getting stuck on the finger. The average ring size for men is around 9-10, while for women, it is around 6-7. Half sizes are also available for a more precise fit. Ring sizes are represented numerically, corresponding to the inner circumference in millimeters.

![]() During each run, characters develop a relationship with each other, for better or worse. That means characters hit their breaking point more often, but it’s also tied very closely to the new relationship mechanic. It’s no longer a meter based on 100, but instead 10. The stress mechanic is probably the most impactful change compared to the original game. Image used with permission by copyright holder Darkest Dungeon 2 feels more like a roguelike this way and feels more refreshing with each run. Of course, certain skills are carried over from each game, as well as the unlocked heroes. Once all the heroes meet their grisly demises, the game is over and must be restarted from the beginning. All that is available is a caravan and whoever can fit inside it. Warzone 2.0 Plunder mode alleviates the stress of battle royaleĪ “run” of the game is completely different, as the player no longer has a home base or a collection of heroes (read: fools) ready to jump into the next dungeon. Try these 2 indie greats before they leave Xbox Game Pass next week Overwatch 2’s story missions are the light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel Even the art and aesthetics have been preserved despite the game being fully 3D. Of course, the game is filled with horrific and insidious creatures that are looking to tear the world apart. Managing stress and inventory space are also front and center. The core combat mechanics are still at the heart of the game. Image used with permission by copyright holder Stress and hopeįor those wondering if Darkest Dungeon 2 is still similar to its predecessor, I want to assure you: Yes it very much is. After playing the game for more hours than I care to admit, the main takeaway I got was the feeling of hope. Now I am fortunate to do this all over again with its sequel Darkest Dungeon 2 as it has just been released into early access on the Epic Games store. The highs, the lows, the heart attacks, and corpses. I watched, and played, every step of the development process. This was my experience with Darkest Dungeonback when it first came to early access in 2015. ![]() We, as players, get to see a game blossom and grow into its final form, like a butterfly with a two-frame jab and a health bar. That makes early access feel more intimate. Imagine, though, if the audience could look at the dailies on a movie shoot, or listen to the bass line of a new EP. Playing a game that’s still incomplete and giving the developers feedback makes sense it’s almost the purest form of beta testing. Early access is an oddly unique phenomenon that really only works in the world of video games. ![]() The 1938 16' Chris-Craft "Painted Racer" build s 24" model in 1/8th scale. By the way a Mini-Review of this kit exists, check out Pat Tritle's thread on this forum, if you're new to boat building this is as good a place as any to get started. We also want to say that this is NOT an advertisement for Dumas in any way, there are many great models on the market today, but we did notice that the kit includes instructions and notes that are very obviously slanted towards the inexperienced builder. We know they're not going to look right on the water, but we really don't think my hands will fit inside the engine hatch of a 16" model! ![]() However, my dexterity is not what it used to be and so we've decided to build the cruisers at 1/12th and the runabouts at 1/8th. This Build Log will be of the Dumas kit, not a scratch build.įor many years now we've wanted to build a "fleet" of Chris-Crafts and we toyed with the idea of building them all at 1/12 scale. We decided to start with this one because it is so different to many of the "classic" Chris-Crafts. We were lucky enough to get some really good deals with some RC Groups Forum members and some very lucky bidding on eBay. With our recent move, and my age we felt that now was the time to either buy them or forget them. For a long time now we've wanted a few of the Dumas Chris-Craft models. Remember a little rocker bottom is ok, a concave bottom is a no-no.Well we're going to try our hand at a second Build Log. My advice to any one who is going to build the model is to add one or two spruce battens to the bottom notched into the frames to prevent the hollow spot and also to true the bottom for a planing hull. Since I will have to go back and rework the bottom anyhow, this is my chance to turn the boat into a one step hydro, like the 16' CHRIS-CRAFT HYDRO. That hollow spot is not even a 1/16" gap, but the suction it creates will be enough to never allow the model to climb up and plane off no mater how much power is available. I did not realize this untill the boat was finished and went for the shakedown run and guess what, the boat will not plane off. The problem is that when the planking was applied, a hollow was created between the frame spacing fore and aft between the keel and the chine. I sorry to say that I did check the bottom at the keel and the chine before planking with the plastic, no problem. I am glad to see that I'm not the only one who sees the problem in the bottom planking on the 19' racing runabout. Since I will have to go back and rework the bottom anyhow, this is my chance to turn the boat into a one step hydro, like the 16' CHRIS. What is normally done in this case? Should I just glue on the edge of the plank along the chine and the other to butterfly keel and fill in the gaps left between the bottom of the frame and plank or sand down the chine? I have noticed that when I rest a straight piece parallel with the bottom of the frame across the butterfly keel and chine (resting on the chine) it will leave a gap meaning that if I am to glue the plank down it would not completely stick to the frame (close to the chine) as the chime is higher. I am in the process of building the Dumas 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout (1249) and I have just finished gluing in the Chine and am about to embark on gluing down the two bottom expanded PVC planks. ![]() One of the best parts about MixPad Multitrack Recording Software is that it provides professional tools to anyone who wishes to record audio tracks.

However, Marcus is told by a petrol station owner that Logan said no other hunters are around and convinces a traumatised Vaughn they can only protect themselves by returning after nightfall and burying the bodies. Marcus hides the bodies and they drive off, hoping to claim that they were hunting in another area. Vaughn wants to tell the police about the incident but Marcus convinces him they will be arrested as murderers. The boy's father arrives and, in a fit of grief, picks up Vaughn's gun and points it at him but Marcus shoots the man. On the hunt, the pair happen upon a deer in a clearing, and Vaughn aims at a doe’s head but it suddenly turns, causing Vaughn to shoot and kill a boy, unseen behind the deer. Vaughn realises he has forgotten ammunition for his rifle, so Marcus lets him borrow one of his guns, despite this violating the country's strict firearm laws. ![]() On the way, Vaughn deduces Marcus has used cocaine and chastises him. Vaughn and Iona nearly kiss but Vaughn mentions his pregnant fiancée, so they have another drink instead.Įarly next morning, Marcus rouses a hungover Vaughn for their hunt. After dancing and drinking, Marcus leaves with Kara, despite being warned to stay away. They spend the evening at a village pub, where they meet Logan, a community leader who bemoans the village's weak economy and two young women, Kara and Iona. The film is set in Scotland and concerns incidents on a hunting trip to the remote Scottish Highlands, and stars Jack Lowden and Martin McCann.Īn aggressive Edinburgh businessman, Marcus, takes his boarding-school friend, Vaughn, whose fiancée is newly pregnant, on a weekend hunting in the Scottish Highlands. It also had a limited release in select Curzon Cinemas in the UK from 21 October to 16 November 2018. After a debut at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, it was released on 29 June 2018 on Netflix. Ben Baird’s sound design, meanwhile, is a thing of fretful beauty, seamlessly meshing a barrage of natural effects with Anne Nikitin’s creaking, squeaking, screeching score - there are points in “Calibre” when it might seem safer to close your eyes, but the filmmaking won’t let go that easily.Calibre is a 2018 British thriller film written and directed by Matt Palmer. The film’s secret weapon may be gifted editor Chris Wyatt (“God’s Own Country,” “’71”), who keeps the pace brisk but also unpredictable, often choosing to linger on quiet, conversation-driven scenes that reveal their teeth in their own good time. Györi, in his highest-profile assignment since Peter Strickland’s “Katalin Varga,” works wonders with the weather-saturated, bracken-tangled Scottish mountainscape, alternately playing up its menace or magnificence from scene to scene. If nothing here is exactly new, it’s the sheer, breathless precision and momentum of “Calibre’s” assembly that keeps it startling. He has a wily, wicked foil in Irish star McCann (following his lead turn in “The Survivalist,” not an actor afraid to be in the wars), and it’s their fraught but convincing bond that holds our sympathy even through their most reprehensible actions. An Olivier Award-winning stage actor now settling into a quietly potent, empathetic screen presence, Lowden impressively holds it together through all these key changes, even when his character emphatically does not. ![]() The fallout from this horrific accident proceeds in ways that are both grimly inevitable and gut-knottingly uncertain, as the villagers gradually sense something amiss - and Palmer’s poised Hitchcockian tension tactics give way to a more visceral rush of horror. With a dead boy suddenly on their hands, the shell-shocked men somehow worsen matters in self-defensive panic, with Marcus’s macho rashness and Vaughn’s passivity making for a precipitous pile-up of bad decisions as they cover their tracks.Īll that, and the film’s just getting started. ![]() Yet when the lads, a little worse for wear, head into the woods the next morning, catastrophe strikes: After training his rifle on an obliging deer, Vaughn shoots, only for an interloping child hiker to get fatally caught in the firing line. On 31 December 2019, a cluster of unexplained pneumonia cases in Wuhan, Hubei, China was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) ( WHO, 2020 a Wu et al., 2020). The lockdown period demonstrated that the expected future reductions in NO 2 in European urban areas are likely to lead to widespread increases in urban O 3 pollution unless additional mitigation measures are introduced. Despite NO 2 concentrations decreasing by approximately a third, total oxidant ( O x) changed little, suggesting that the reductions in NO 2 were substituted by increases in O 3. To put the 2020 changes into context, average NO 2 trends since 2010 were calculated, and the changes experienced across European urban areas in 2020 was equivalent to 7.6 years of average NO 2 reduction (or concentrations which might be anticipated in 2028). Across Europe, we estimate that NO 2 concentrations were 34 % and 32 % lower than expected for respective traffic and urban background locations, whereas O 3 was 30 % and 21 % higher (in the same respective environments) at the point of maximum restriction on mobility. Counterfactual, business-as-usual air quality time series are created using machine-learning models to account for natural weather variability. ![]() ![]() To investigate these changes, we analyse data from 246 ambient air pollution monitoring sites in 102 urban areas and 34 countries in Europe between February and July 2020. The aggressive curtailing of the European economy had widespread impacts on the atmospheric composition, particularly for nitrogen dioxide ( NO 2) and ozone ( O 3). I have followed all appropriate research reporting guidelines and uploaded the relevant EQUATOR Network research reporting checklist(s) and other pertinent material as supplementary files, if applicable.In March 2020, non-pharmaceutical intervention measures in the form of lockdowns were applied across Europe to urgently reduce the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus which causes the COVID-19 disease. I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance). ![]() I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as.

The authors have declared no competing interest. ![]() We also show that neighboring countries applying less restrictive social distancing measures (as opposed to police-enforced home containment) experience a very similar time evolution of the epidemic. Extrapolating pre-lockdown growth rate trends, we provide estimates of the death toll in the absence of any lockdown policies, and show that these strategies might not have saved any life in western Europe. Comparing the trajectory of the epidemic before and after the lockdown, we find no evidence of any discontinuity in the growth rate, doubling time, and reproduction number trends. This phenomenological study assesses the impacts of full lockdown strategies applied in Italy, France, Spain and United Kingdom, on the slowdown of the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak.

The album itself my be common, but the edition less so. It could be a very special record and worth a lot of money.ĭifferent editions of the same album can have huge variations in selling price, so it is very important to know which one you have.

It looks scruffy, may be missing its sleeve and the sound issues will be very noticeable. To be brutally honest, Good means barely acceptable. This is the most common form of record, but still worth selling. There are a couple of minor problems like background pops and clicks or small visible scratches that indicate it’s had a few birthdays, but it is still enjoyable to listen to and look at. The sleeve and vinyl are lightly marked and it suffers from occasional faint audio blips, but otherwise there isn’t really anything wrong with it. ![]() The vinyl is glossy, unmarked and the sleeve looks pretty good. A record’s sound quality is still amazing, although it has been played a few times. These are rare, but by far the most valuable.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is probably the best of the series since the first one. The movie pins the character down as if they are introducing him to be in a future movie. He is pure evil, right down to the buckles on his boots but the character doesn't leap out with the lip-smacking vileness that I had hoped. McShane is a wonderful actor but somehow Blackbeard seems subdued. Yet, I was surprisingly underwhelmed by Ian McShane's performance as Blackbeard. Penelope Cruz gives a nice performance here and proves - to me at least - that she should have been the female protagonist of the series all along instead of Kiera Knightly. Neither does Geoffrey Rush, in his third go-around as Captain Barbossa, which he plays with an evil wink and a pirate accent that he practically chews on. Eight years, and three sequels later, Depp maintains the fun spirit of the character and doesn't allow it to grow routine. The first film got him his first Oscar nomination, and justifiably so. He keeps from taking the film too seriously but avoids the temptation to make fun of the character. Johnny Depp maintains the same swagger and slurry charm that he had in the previous films. What keeps this series popular is quality control. I appreciated the mermaids but, this being a Disney film, the all-out boob-fest that should have ensued sadly never materializes. ![]() These films are constructed more as a series of set pieces rather than a narrative plot. Yet, what I have learned about this series is that the plot really doesn't matter. There probably wasn't any need for mermaids that can suck your blood, nor, all that stuff about voodoo and shrinking massive ships until you can fit them into bottles. There really isn't a need to get to the fountain of youth. The plot, as in the previous installments, is somewhat superfluous. As I said, it is more complicated than it needs to be. First, Jack learns, you must first get two goblets belonging to Ponce de León, then you have to mix it with the tears of a mermaid, then (I think I have this right), one person has to drink from one cup to become younger and then another person has to drink from the other and they will die. Getting to the fountain is easy enough, but then we learn that it is not a simple matter of taking a dip and becoming younger, no. The plot to get to the fountain of youth is probably more complicated than it needs to be. Then there is Angelica (Oscar winner Penelope Cruz), who is first mate on the ship captained by Blackbeard (Ian McShane) - whose beard is actually gray, but never mind. Trailing them are Jack and his nemesis Captain Barbossa (Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush), who is a privateer under the orders of King George II (Richard Griffiths). Jack makes a spectacular escape and the race is on race to find the fountain, which is headed off first by the Spanish fleet and then by the British fleet. That is, until one of his crew produces a map to the fabled Fountain of Youth, rumored to have been found 200 years before by the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León. The movie finds the ever-plucky sea-going rascal Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) once again in trouble with the King's court and about to be executed. With that, this is a kind of trimmed down POTC movie. Having left behind many of the familiar characters (Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightly and Jonathan Price are absent this time), the movie is free to find new characters and a new arena to play in. That's not good for what should be a simple pirate movie. My apprehension comes from the experience of the previous films, which I complained were too long and so overwritten as to become convoluted. Yet, as I always do, I allowed myself to be open minded (you never know when a movie will surprise you) and I found the movie quite enjoyable. ![]() Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the third sequel in Disney's highly-successful series, is not a movie that I went into with much anticipation. As the fourth round approaches there's an apprehension of what has come before and what is new that is left to be discovered. In movies, as in marriage, the fourth go-around can get a little tricky. ![]() ![]() Pdfhl.exe -detecturl 1 -bordercolor #FF0000 -borderwidth 3 D:\in.pdf D:\out.pdf Pdfhl.exe -detectfilename 1 -checkiffileexists 1 -allowedextension ".PDF.

Furthermore, during the movie, we get to watch more interesting and revealing plot events. On the contrary, in the movie, all of this information is clearly given in the dialogue of the characters and with visuals of Bob, showing how the T.V captivates his brain and attention, making him look like a zombie (brainless, with the T.V’s lights being reflected on his pale skin). ![]() making the reader not get a concrete and easily understandable idea of the situation. Mead shows us the lonely streets, the depressing atmosphere, and the citizen’s condition of being controlled by using metaphors, similes, etc. In contrast, in the short story, we remain a long time with the same scenario Leonard explains to us (in a monologue) how every night he goes for a walk, and does it for a long time, while giving us little and short descriptions of how the society is. To start, in the same way, both of the stories’ (short story and movie) plot events revolve around Mr.Mead’s desire to go outside and walk. The plot events are the most important part in this short story and in the movie, because without them they wouldn’t make sense as they tend to be considered as the main points of what happens in the storyline. The addition of a character let’s Leonard make a dialogue instead of a monologue, giving the reader the chance to get tons of details and important information about the society, the atmosphere, and the feelings/emotions of the characters. Bob, being a grown up man, is constantly attracted by the T.V being technologically controlled by the government although, he still curious, enthusiastic, and (while also being terrified) wants to try and go for a walk with Mr.Mead. In contrast, in the movie, we have and extra character called Bob Stockwell letting us have a more clear mental image about the futuristic society. Mead didn’t give us any information and no important details about how the political system is organized, making it hard to fully understand how the society is and how does it work to successfully keep everyone controlled with the technology. In the short story, Mr.Mead was the only character, apart from the police van at the end, that we encounter during the storyline Leonard uses an internal monologue to communicate how the atmosphere and the society is where he lives, making the reader end up being confused at some points. In the same manner, both versions of the character are dystopian protagonists and are quite similar believing that something is terribly wrong in the society which he lives (this happens towards the end) and he helps the audience recognize the negative aspects of the dystopian world through his perspective in a successful way. Leonard Lead, that appears on both short story and film. First of all, we have the main character Mr. The characters are one of the most important items to take into consideration when talking about stories (a short story and a movie, in this case), as they are a key part where the plot events put reliance on plus, when they slightly change, other parts of the storyline may be affected. ![]() However, despite bearing some superficial similarities, the differences between The Pedestrian film and the short story of “The Pedestrian”, are clear and vary in characters, plot events, and resolution. Leonard Mead, a 60 years-old man, who walks outside every night, for long hours. ![]() They both show the audience a futuristic dystopian society, set in the year 2053, where the citizens are controlled by the government with technology to make them stay inside their houses, as being outside is forbidden with the exception of Mr. One of the many examples is the short story of “The Pedestrian”, written by Ray Bradbury and The Pedestrian film,ĭirected by Alin Bollinger and also written by Ray Bradbury. Although, you may be surprised that you can replace a boring and long monologue on a paper by the usage of an easy and fast dialogue on a screen. Is the book always better than the movie? In most of the cases, this statement is true the book, lets us picture the whole scenario and plot events, in our heads, while the movie just may not show it with much detail that the book readers want. |
