![]() That’s why it is important to decorate your bedroom.Įspecially your bedroom walls as the mood you set in your decor will impact when you go to sleep when you wake up, and also, how productive your day will be. I still love it.After the living room, most people tend to spend a lot of their time in their bedrooms, in as much as most of that time is spent resting and sleeping. 12 years ago before anyone even on HGTV had done it, I got a branch from my friend’s pruned peach tree to hang over my bed. So just my opinion!!! Ill bet you have your idea up your sleeve and we will say Ahhhhhh… Gorgeous!! Ps. I’m not much help am I? I just know that why I liked that first photo was an accent that was simple yet a focal point. Pleeeeez do not change your bed!!! It’s so gorgeous and not common and boring. It seems like every photo looked good with THAT bed, just like your curtains looked good at your other house, but I love the simplicity of something round and is that feathery? Am I the only one?!! It’s just that pictures with your bed and the boards seem fussy, your tall four posts are like artwork against the white wall and so I feel like a bunch of plates or photos would cover up this really unique contrast of the stark white and black. You know what’s weird? I’m looking at your Christmas photo and saying Why does that look so good? Plates? Not with your current room. That’s some pretty great inspiration, huh?! ![]() Sometimes it looks best just to leave the space above your headboard blank, especially if you have a beautiful chandelier above your bed that steals the show. Or what about something a little unusual, quirky, or unique? Here are some plates mixed in with prints. Plates can also be a pretty addition above the headboard. Some people fill up the space on the wall with an extra large headboard! It seems the most popular choice of décor for above the headboard is framed prints or pictures. I started searching online for some inspiration, and I wanted to share what I found with you. I had a beautiful red poinsettia wreath above our headboard for Christmas…īut now the wall is bare, which got me to thinking, “What in the world do I put there?” Because there was a window behind our headboard, we didn’t have to worry about how to decorate above it.īut now, our headboard sits up against a blank wood plank wall. Click HERE to view.īecause of the layout of the room, I decided that our bed looked best in front of our window. I completed the entire makeover with a $700 budget. If you missed the before and after pictures of this room, you have got to check it out. Here is the bed in our former master bedroom… One piece of furniture that we do have from our previous home is our king four poster bed. ![]() I feel like I am starting from scratch since we moved from our last home, because most of our furniture from our previous home doesn’t really go with this home. Now I get to decorate, which is awesome, but a little daunting. ![]() We still have to finish the boys’ bathroom and a couple walls upstairs, but other than that, most of the house is complete. Little by little, we are finally getting most of the major construction finished in our home. I am desperately trying to come up with inexpensive ways to decorate my home. ![]()

![]() When he gets his order, Bubble Bass lies about. ![]() On Saturday, Narmak tweeted that YouTube had rejected his appeal via an automated email. It is an average day at the Krusty Krab, until trouble-maker Bubble Bass has a special order for SpongeBob. YouTube took down the video on Friday, however, saying the video violated the platform's child safety policy, according to a tweet by Narmak. The characters have all been redesigned to fit the anime style, and the short packs in a number of references both to the original show as well as classic anime. In the episode, Bubble Bass has stolen the secret formula for the Five-Pickle Patty, and SpongeBob and Squidward fight him in Jellyfish Fields in order to return it to Mr. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that SpongeBob had not forgotten the pickles after all-rather that Bubble Bass was hiding them under his tongue to get out of paying. Bubble Bass claims SpongeBob forgot the pickles, sending him spiraling into a depression. The nearly 15-minute short film loosely adapts an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants called "Pickles." In the original episode, a character named Bubble Bass orders a Krabby Patty hamburger, which is made by SpongeBob. He decides to test SpongeBobs fry cook skills by trying one of his Krabby Patties and making the order very complicated. The short, "SpongeBob Anime Ep1: Bubble Bass Arc" first was posted to creator Narmak's YouTube channel, with 1.54 million subscribers, on July 24. ![]() ![]() #SaveSpongeBobAnime became the third-highest trending topic on Twitter Saturday, after an animator said his anime-styled parody of the children's cartoon was taken down from YouTube. ![]() ![]() ![]() See the CMake documentation for information of new features.Įnabled Test Explorer to build and test multiple CMake targets in parallel.Īdded "Open container in terminal" option to Dev Containers.

With Speak & Translate you'll be able to text and speak in over 100 languages - even in remote areas without data or wifi with our offline mode! And if you're in a restaurant, just use our Snap Mode to easily translate the whole menu with your phone's camera! It's that easy to act fluent in another language! For those that require professional translation services, you can find those on as well.Speak & Translate is an essential voice and text translator that allows you to communicate effectively anywhere in the world. ![]() It is not, however, recommended for professional translations or business ventures. This makes it a perfect option for travelling, basic communication, or simple text translations. Using that, we can translate a document and get the gist of what it says, or we can translate a sentence and get our point across. Machines can help us to translate voice and text. For those that require professional translation services, you can find those on as well. ![]() It also requires an in-depth knowledge of grammar, sentence structuring, and cultural linguistics, which to date, machine translation simply cannot offer us. Why? Sometimes translating into another language isn’t as easy as word-to-word translation. An accent generator can help you to speak and understand a different language, but it doesn’t always come with precise accuracy. While we are certain that such software will continue to advance, at the time being, it is not quite up to par with human translations. Unfortunately, a machine-based online translator does come with some limitations. Are there any limitations to the audio translator? But with the help of software that can translate and speak different languages, you can translate conversations, documents, books, and web content into different languages and break down language barriers that are keeping you from branching out. If you own a business that only offers services to 10% of the population, that means you are missing out on 90% of the population! That’s a huge consumer base that you are missing out on because of communication differences. This is especially true if you own a business. But with a text to speech translator, it does not have to be this way as it helps to translate text in a wide variety of languages and opens you doors to new friendships and new opportunities. Why is it so important to translate with audio?ĭid you know that only about 10% of the world’s population speaks English? This means that a whopping 90% of people speak a language different from ours, which also means that, unless you know another language, you are limited to communicating with only 10% of the population.

Questions aside, my opinion of the characters so far: as the plot unfolds it almost seems like choosing Lohsan was the right choice Fane now wants to explore the ruins of his people and its story, it just looks I'm about to departure in a very cool journey with him despite the island act being him chasing a face ripper, his story background always seemed attarctive Ifan at the beginning looked like the most boring, even behind Beast, in the starting island turned out to have a very cool story, and the RP is okayish, Beast didn't attract me despite his very important goal plus his personality is blander than that of the others, and Sebille was just an edgy and flat story.Ībout the game: I'm really liking it, I actually had lower expectations, I spotted it because it was a group character, like dragon age, and it had turn combat, like a LOTR game I played when I was a child and like XCOM which I really liked. :( Is that lady who took off our collars dead too? :( Gratiana is dead too? I gave her her soul jar, dammit :( I didn't like her, actively despised, but had a feeling of not killing her. Second question, is Gareth and that lizard general and those two monks, besides us four and Malady the only ones who can survive? It seems too cut and dry, specially because I've just met this necromancer that was locked in Dallis' room, and we barely had met, I didn't fight him and now he just died, it looks way too straightforward. ![]() The monk was shot down by Ifan, and the red prince taunted the enemies so they didn't attack Malady that much, only a gheist and that monk archer survived the fight) (Fane turned out to be quite useful, he has the highest magic damage and it was really good because except for one monk all the guys had physical but no magic armor, he killed them all with lots of very strong AoE, like supernova. That means that if their death was inevitable I'm not too worried. I actually chose the trio because they were my three favourites (and two of the three that had a better build, what I tried on Sebille turned out to be better than what I've tried with Fane) and before putting the lady vengeance to travel I felt there would be a hard battle in the ship. TL:DR the other two Sebille and Beast only had the starting clothes with them, did I make them too squishy for the meteors? Is there some way to return and prevent their death? Except for the weapons, because I've had a "scheme" where Sebille would use two daggers, Beast would use a two handed, RP Shield and one Hand, Ifan ranged, Fane two wands/staff and the same for me, two hands or staff - this order came involuntarily and I stuck to it, so I didn't have to "dillute" the weapons loot among party members. Sebille and Beast just disappeared, what does that mean, are they dead?ĭid they die in the fight? Asking because to cram some more money, I did throughout the entire fort joy campaign unequip all the armor from the 2 companions that I wouldn't use, re-use them in some of my current companions if doable, then sell the rest, do some quests and gather loot, rinse and repeat.

All processes exhibit variability over time and all measurements taken on samples of the process output are subject to additional variability simply due to the fact of sampling. A process sigma calculator is applicable in all of these scenarios, and more. A service desk may monitor performance of servicing customers by checking the length of interactions, the number of interactions required to resolve an issue, and customer feedback. For example, a production line for steel sheets coated with Polyvinyl chloride may control the width, length, and thickness of the sheets, as well as the thickness, color, and uniformity of the PVC coating. A process is usually controlled for several specifications. In industrial control of production quality and in project management in general where a process of any kind needs to be controlled for quality, the quality is assured by taking measurements on samples from the output of the process and comparing them to a specification. Entering defects, number of units and number of opportunities per unit (the number of specifications that need to be controlled for quality for each unit, defect opportunities per unit) results in the full output of the calculator, including DPM, percentage of defect units, and rolled throughput yield on top of the outputs covered so far. Entering the number of defects and total opportunities for a defect to occur outputs the control level (sigma), yield, percent defects and DPMO. The minimum required input is DPMO in which case the six sigma calculator (not to be confused with a sigma notation calculator!) outputs the corresponding sigma level, standard yield and percent defects. percentage of defect units from the total production.defects per million opportunities (DPMO, a.k.a. ![]() percentage of defects from total opportunities of the process to produce a defect.yield in terms of acceptable products or services delivered (rolled throughput yield, RTY).yield in terms of opportunities which did not result in a defect (standard yield).sigma level of the process (shows how well it is controlled relative to acceptance standard).Depending on the input, the output consists of: This sigma calculator can be used to estimate the sigma level of a process (of producing units or delivering a service) based on the ratio of defects it results in. ![]() ![]() ![]() The response time is good, the interface is intuitive and there are enough options to keep individuals busy for quite a while.

The Northern Aplomado Falcon ( Falco femoralis septentrionalis Todd) is a medium-sized, savanna-dwelling bird predator whose historical distribution extended from the grasslands of southern and western Texas, southeastern Arizona, and southern New Mexico southward through Mexico to Nicaragua. Sin embargo, algunas aves importantes como presa se correlacionaron positivamente con la densidad de plantas leñosas, sugiriendo que la proximidad de matorrales incrementa la calidad del sitio de nidificación. Los halcones anidaron en pastizales abiertos con poca vegetación leñosa, una adaptación probablemente relacionada con una mayor vulnerabilidad de las presas y con menos depredadores. Las lluvias de verano probablemente influenciaron la reproducción de los halcones al afectar la abundancia de semillas y en consecuencia la abundancia de aves presa granívoras en el siguiente invierno y primavera. Tanto la productividad como la fecha de inicio de la incubación estuvieron significativamente correlacionadas con la abundancia de aves presa. La reproducción en el área más pequeña se mantuvo baja durante todo el estudio. La productividad de Falco femoralis disminuyó de 1.57 volantones por territorio ocupado en 1997 a 0.63 en 2002 en la más grande de las dos áreas de estudio, una tendencia consistente con los efectos acumulativos de varios años consecutivos de baja precipitación. Para determinar la influencia de la abundancia de presas y de la vegetación sobre la reproducción de Falco femoralis, estimamos la abundancia de aves presa en parcelas de conteo desde 1998 hasta 2002 y caracterizamos la vegetación de cada parcela. Monitoreamos la reproducción de estos halcones en 35 territorios desde 1996 hasta 2002, durante un período de sequía severa en la región. Una población reproductiva del halcón Falco femoralis persiste en los pastizales desérticos de Chihuahua, México, a pesar de haber desaparecido de las áreas aledañas del suroeste de los Estados Unidos. However, important prey birds were positively correlated with woody-plant density, which suggests that proximity of shrublands increased nest-site suitability. Falcons nested in open grasslands with sparse woody vegetation, an adaptation likely related to higher prey vulnerability and fewer predators. Summer rain most likely influenced falcon reproduction by affecting seed abundance and therefore abundance of granivorous prey birds the following winter and spring. Both productivity and incubation start date were significantly associated with prey bird abundance. Reproduction in the smaller area remained low throughout the study. Aplomado Falcon productivity declined from 1.57 fledglings per occupied territory in 1997 to 0.63 in 2002 at the larger of two study areas, a trend consistent with cumulative effects of consecutive years of low rainfall. To test the influence of prey abundance and vegetation on falcon reproduction, we surveyed avian prey abundance through plot counts in 1998-2002 and characterized vegetation at each plot. We monitored falcon reproduction at 35 territories during 1996-2002, a period of severe drought in the region. A breeding population of Aplomado Falcons ( Falco femoralis) remains in the desert grasslands of Chihuahua, Mexico, despite their extirpation in the nearby southwestern United States. ![]() |
