![]() We live in such a small bubble during the season and it is easy to forget about what is going on outside because of your focus on your sport. Hopefully, I can be on the podium again in Austin.ĭriving the show run has given me an amazing energy going into this race weekend. This is an important race for us and I am really pumped up, as is the whole Team. We are working very well together as a group and I am looking forward to the rest of the year. I think Mercedes have been very strong in the last four or five races and we haven't been able to match them for speed, but I believe that Austin and Mexico are going to be good tracks for us, and you will see us producing stronger performances. Going into the season run in, we know we must maximise everything from our side. I feel great at the moment, I cannot wait to get back in the car again and I am massively looking forward to the weekend. Then away from being a great track, there is always a great atmosphere and a great crowd so that helps. ![]() When you are racing going into sector two and the beginning of sector three, there are a lot of different lines you can take, so this track normally creates a lot of action and overtakes. The first sector is very enjoyable, with a lot of fast corners, especially in qualifying when you go on low fuel. ![]() The layout of the track at COTA is really cool, the surface being bumpy, because it is built on a swamp, adds to the excitement of the race as well. Every single week there are new challenges which we must overcome and this one will be no different, a lot of things can happen in a race, so we will focus on ourselves and no one else. Hopefully we can fight them this weekend and keep the lead in the championship. We have a very competitive car but you have to compare it to Mercedes and that is always the big question mark going into any race this season. I don't really believe in momentum swings, we always have to nail every aspect of the weekend to optimise our performance, prepare as best we can and if we do that then we can't give anything more as a Team. It will be another close battle this weekend and I am looking forward to that. We are focussed on doing the best we can and always trying to win the race and that will be no different in Austin. We go to every track now knowing that we can fight at least for a podium now, but also a win and that is different to past years. We have always been competitive in the US and have got close to some good results, so it's about converting that into a win now. But actually what I had this morning was not good for the race.It is going to be nice to be back in America. “So, this is the only point I’m happy with, that with the bike that we raced we could be faster. “I could have been much, much, much faster. This morning I have been to the Clinica and I had a treatment on my arm and for me it was way too aggressive and I had arm pump from the middle of the race. I’ve had a physical issued in the middle of the race. “I don’t look at it like a recovery because six people in front of me crashed,” Quartararo said, reflecting on his seventh place in the grand prix. The Yamaha rider says this was not the return of the problems which forced him to have surgery in 2021, and was brought on by an “aggressive” treatment he received by one of MotoGP’s in-paddock physiotherapists on Sunday morning. Quartararo feels he could have been 0.5s per lap faster in the grand prix on Sunday with his old settings, but was struck by arm pump issues midway through the race. Photo by: Gold and Goose / Motorsport Images ![]() ![]() Yes, to get two images, one taken with APS and one taken with FF appear equally sharp when viewed at equal presentation size in your presentation format of choice, the lens used on the APS camera needs to be sharper, when sharpness is defined by "lines or line-pairs per mm". Choose one of the camera formats depending on your current needs.Sorry if I was the cause of any additional confusion. Now, when you understand the main differences between APS-C and full frame cameras, it's ime to discuss their pros and cons.įrom the above discussion, you have realized that neither camera format is the best. The larger size also means a larger body, and the overall volume and weight of the full frame will be higher than that of the APS-C frame, which is also an unavoidable annoyance for picture quality. This breadth cannot be solved by taking a few steps back, because when you change the position, the perspective and perspective relationship of the foreground, middle ground, and background will also change.ĥ. More elements can be accommodated in the same position, and it also brings more convenience to framing and shooting. We can see that the breadth of view of the full-frame camera is significantly better than that of the half-frame camera. This makes more sense when shooting straight out of JPEG. In an environment with a large light ratio, a camera with high latitude can better preserve the details of both bright and dark parts. Better latitude Tolerance refers to the range that CMOS can correctly accommodate the brightness contrast of the scene. The size of the full frame is larger, which also means that under the same pixel, the arrangement density of each pixel is more reasonable, reducing photoelectric interference.Ģ. We theoretically believe that the higher the pixel, the finer the photo, but there will be photoelectric interference between the pixels between the camera CMOS, the greater the pixel density, the higher the noise at high sensitivity will be more serious. Better noise control under the same pixel. So how does the difference in size affect the imaging? From a full-frame perspective:ġ. Most of the non-full-frame cameras we currently use are APS-C systems. The APS system at that time was divided into three frames, namely APS-H (30.3mm×16.6mm), APS-C (23.6mm×15.6mm), and APS-P (30.3mm×10.1mm). In 1996, five major manufacturers, Kodak, Canon, Nikon, Minolta, and Fuji, jointly developed the APS system, aiming to provide more convenience for camera system application. ![]() Then when the size of the photosensitive element is equivalent to the film size of the 135 camera at that time (36mm × 24mm), such a machine is called a full-frame camera. In the digital age, there is no longer the concept of film, and most of them are suitable for photosensitive elements such as CMOS or CCD. Then in order to distinguish the film film from the bulk photographic film, people printed the code name of 135 on the film box, so this unified statement was formed, the 35mm film was called 135 film, and the camera with 35mm film was called 135 camera. Later, the number of cameras used by manufacturers to shoot 35mm film increased, and the name of Leica roll was no longer widely applicable, so the market changed its name to 35mm film according to the width of the film. After Germany developed the LEIKA camera for shooting 35mm (36mm × 24mm) film in the 1820s, the 35mm film was also called the Leica roll. The biggest difference between full frame and APS-C is size. We'll also list their pros and cons at the end of the article. In this article, we'll discuss some of the key differences between APS-C cameras and full-frame cameras. ![]() If you also want to know the key differences between these two widely used camera types, you've come to the right place. Most people looking to buy a camera try to figure out the main differences between APS-C cameras and full frame cameras so they can choose the best camera. APS-C is a hot topic in the photography world. ![]() The sunscreen is non-greasy and non-drying. It only required a few moments of rubbing in to eliminate any white cast. ![]() The consistency is somewhere between lotion and cream, and we found it easy to dispense and apply, with a pleasant texture that absorbed quickly into the skin. It contains non-nano zinc oxide and hypoallergenic, naturally soothing ingredients, including cocoa seed butter, avocado, cucumber, and chamomile. ![]() Hello Bello’s Mineral SPF 55+ Sunscreen has been dermatologist-tested and proven to provide broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection for adults and kids alike. Price at time of publication: $16 for 4 fluid ounces Overall, it’s a great addition to your vacation packing list at a very reasonable price point. The sunscreen is non-comedogenic (it doesn’t block pores), completely fragrance-free (another major benefit for sensitive skin), and stayed set when exposed to running water during our test wears. It absorbed quickly, resulting in a seamlessly blended look with no white cast or pilling. We particularly liked the sunscreen’s creamy texture and lightweight consistency, which made it easy to dispense and apply evenly over the skin. And even though our tester has sensitive skin, she didn’t experience any irritation or redness. We found that despite being completely non-greasy, it left our skin hydrated. The active ingredient is non-nano zinc oxide, while sugarcane-derived squalane delivers weightless moisture and restores the skin’s natural balance. The dermatologist-tested and pediatrician-approved Pipette Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is a hypoallergenic option developed especially for babies–but it works just as well for the rest of the family, especially those with sensitive skin. The lack of fragrance may be a con for some Discover the other reef-safe sunscreens we tested here. Our overall winner was the Pipette Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, chosen for its hydrating feel, matte finish, and absence of any white cast. Each was evaluated in a real-life setting and scored for feel, opacity, transfer, and water resistance. ![]() To help you navigate the reef-safe minefield, we tested 24 of the most ethical products currently on the market. And if you prefer chemical sunscreen, ensuring it doesn’t contain coral-bleaching oxybenzone or octinoxate is key. These include choosing natural, mineral sunscreens over chemical ones where possible, with those containing non-nano zinc oxide as first prize. However, she and other experts agree that there are some choices we can make to help protect coral reefs. Claire Wolinsky cautions that “reef-safe” labels have limited authenticity since they aren’t based on meaningful in-environment testing. But if you’re going to be in the ocean, choosing a reef-safe sunscreen is equally essential for the environment (and a legal requirement in some places, including Hawaii).ĭermatologist Dr. We all know the importance of consistently applying sunscreen to protect ourselves from burning, skin cancers, and premature aging.

In this video you can see the projector working, but in real life you can see the screen a lot brighter. Please keep in mind me english sucks and this is my first instructable. ![]() I don't think i have pictures of the whole project but I'll try to gather as much inf and pictures i can to add it here. I'm still not to happy about the result, because the light is not even, thats is because the angle of the LEDs do not allow them to be so close to the screen, so i decide to buy one of the new high power led and use it with a condenser lens. Here is the result, using 80 led of 13000mcd. So I thought i could try to make something similar, and if possible a bit better, and obviously a lot cheaper. You can buy a led projector here in Uk for about 100 pounds, but there are not to good, they need to be in a dark room and the size of the screen they project is about 21" witch is not really impressive. Now you can find everywhere led projectors, some of them are really good, but also so expensive. I think in this web page you can find lots of people doing the same, and that is REALLY helpful for all of us. I like to do thins that are not to expensive but does the job of something a lot more expensive. It is preferable to use a projector designed specifically for art tracing, or one with the capacity to project a clear and bright image at a small size.I been working on this for about some time. Not all projectors are suitable for tracing, as some lack the required resolution, brightness, and focus and zoom adjustments. Can any type of projector be used for tracing? However, LCD projectors have additional advantages, such as improved color accuracy and image quality. LED projectors typically have a longer life, lower energy consumption, and cooler operating temperatures than LCD projectors, depending on the application and requirements. LED projectors are superior to LCD projectors. ![]() Prices range from approximately $50 to over $600. The cost of the finest art projectors varies by brand, model, and function. How much do the best art projectors cost? When selecting an art projector, an artist should look for high resolution, bright and uniform lighting, focus and zoom adjustments, and the ability to project at different sizes. What characteristics should be considered when selecting an art projector? They can then trace the image onto the desired surface, such as a canvas or piece of paper, by placing it under the projector. ![]() How does an artist trace using an art projector?Īn artist can use an art projector for tracing by configuring the projector and adjusting the image's focus and size. Artograph Tracer Projector, LightBox Tracer, and Artomatix Light Box are popular alternatives. The best art projectors for tracing depend on the artist's particular requirements, such as the size of the images they wish to trace, the surface they will trace on, and the brightness of the projector. Which art projectors are ideal for tracing? What purpose does a projector serve in art?Īn art projector is a device that projects an image onto a surface, enabling an artist to trace the image onto another surface, such as canvas or paper. ![]() ![]() Blocking the board is another defensive strategy. Try to think several moves ahead to see what strategy your opponent might be working on and play to block those moves. If you're behind on the scoreboard, consider the board count and make plays that will limit your opponent's upside whenever possible. This means looking for ways to limit your opponent's scoring opportunities as much as looking for ways to score yourself. The other side of the coin from taking the initiative is to play defensively. If you hold tiles with this in mind, you can create runs of several scoring plays in a row in many cases. ![]() If they have to miss on the next play, you'll get another scoring chance. When you score, your opponent will often have a limited number of options to counter-score. Go for scoring opportunities early and often. Go on the offense early in the game and play with initiative. These are the strategies that take you from a competent dominoes player to a highly-skilled player. Once you have the general strategies worked out, you can move onto more advanced techniques. Once you have a good idea of what tiles your opponent is holding, you can play suits that leave them hanging. This is hard to do early in the game when there aren't many tiles visible but as you can identify more tiles, it will get easier and easier. Figure Out Your Opponent's HandĪs the game progresses, you'll be able to "reverse engineer" your opponent's hand based on what tiles are already in play and what's in your hand. ![]() This lets you play strategically to block your opponents while scoring yourself. If they can't play and have to draw from the boneyard, there's a good chance they'll be in the same situation when the same numbers are available on the board again. Take Note of Your Opponent's Weak SuitsĪs the game progresses, take note of your opponent's weaknesses. If all your tiles have similar suits, you'll be stuck if that's all that's available on the board. Try to keep a range of tiles in your hand so you can match as many numbers as possible. Because these tiles have higher numbers, it once again means more points will end up going to your opponent if they score. "Heavier" tiles are the ones with the higher numbers. Play Heavier Tiles EarlyĪlong the same lines as playing your doubles early, you should also play heavier tiles as soon as you can. If you have those doubles, you can play them to open up the board and your opponent won't be able to bury them. Once you're far enough into the game to have a good idea of where your opponent's weaknesses are, you'll know what suits they're missing. This is counter to one of the basic dominoes strategies but if you're willing to take a bit more risk it can be useful to hold onto your doubles until later in the game. For that reason, it's a good idea to get rid of them early so you don't give up those points to your opponent when they score. For example, if you place a double 5 tile on a 5 hook, you still need another 5 to connect to it. Play Doubles Earlyĭouble tiles don't advance the play since they leave the same hook available as the tile they're connecting to. You'll probably need to consciously think about them at first but it won't take long before they become second nature. These general dominoes strategies will work for virtually any type of dominoes game and are easy to follow, even if you're new to the game. Let's look at some of the strategies that can help you hit the top of the leaderboard in your games. Figuring out a winning strategy is what will elevate your game to the point that you can win more than you lose. Learning how to play dominoes is the easy part. You might not aspire to be a professional domino player, but even if you're playing dominoes online or against friends, having a good dominoes strategy will help you win more games. In 2019, the UDL offered $50,000 cash for the winner of the Las Vegas Summer Classic Domino Tournament. The Universal Dominoes League (UDL) is a professional tournament with some serious prize money up for grabs, and having a good dominoes strategy is everything in these tournaments. You probably don't think of dominoes as a highly competitive game, but you'd be wrong. ![]() ![]() Keep in mind tighter does not mean better. Follow the number of wrench turns as indicated in the table below. Step 4: Use a wrench to finish tightening. Step 3: Assemble the nut to the fitting body and tighten it to hand tight. Be sure the tube is bottomed on the fitting shoulder. Step 2: Insert the tube into the compression fitting. The thread of the end of the nut must face outward. Step 1: Slide the nut, then sleeve, onto the tubing. Watch this video for a quick tutorial on how to install compression fittings on nylon and copper tubing. The procedure is specified using nut rotation rather than torque. The installation process varies depending on the manufacturer and the specific fitting. One benefit of compression fittings is the ease of assembly and disassembly. They are also commonly used in plumbing applications. Brass is the most common material for compression fittings because it provides strength and corrosion resistance without increasing costs.Ĭompression fittings are made up of three basic elements: a compression nut or screw, the sleeve/ferrule, and the compression fitting body.Ĭommon uses for compression fittings include connecting a waterline or pneumatic lines. The fittings are made from a variety of materials including plastic, stainless steel, and brass. Compression fittings are wrench tightened and do not require any flaring, soldering, or other preparation of tubing to assemble. They are a strong and reliable connection that tightens down a sleeve over a joint to prevent a leak. Now it is time to look at a different type of connection: compression fittings.Ĭompression fittings are a type of coupling used to connect two pipes or a pipe to a fixture or valve. ![]() In previous Dixon® blog posts, we have discussed pipe flanges, swivel joints, dry disconnects, cam & groove couplings, and more. ![]() It’s big and hopeful and a little bit heartbreaking, and I love it.Īnd I’m working on a winter-and-music story right now, which means lots of not-so-Christmassy Christmas music is sneaking its way into my work playlists.
