This is also the same place on the calculator where you will find the linear regression equation, and the coefficient of determination. Remember, if r doesn’t show on your calculator, then diagnostics need to be turned on. That’s it! You’re are done!

![]() To prevent plaster dust from spreading into the rest of the house, hang damp sheets or tape plastic sheeting over the doorways and put an exhaust fan in a window. If you still want to attempt your own repairs, here’s how:ġ First, protect the flooring under your work area, because once you begin the entire affected area could give way. Repairing a large wall area is difficult enough, but if the ceiling is beginning to sag, working over your head with heavy, hard-to-handle materials is not an easy job. Gravity and the weight of the plaster exert themselves, and the first sign is often sagging, followed eventually by the collapse of the plaster surface.Īt this point, you may want to call in a professional. The lath can also pull away from the framing. Over the years, plaster can dry out and lose its holding strength, or weaken from vibration, and the keys begin to break away. ![]() When the plaster is applied, it squeezes through the lath, creating “keys” that harden to form a strong integral bond with the wall. ![]() This base is usually strips of wood or metal wire mesh (both referred to as lath) that are nailed to the wall and ceiling framing. Plaster is heavy, and it needs a solid, well-anchored base to support its weight. Then prime and paint it to match the wall.įlaking and cracking plaster are relatively minor repair items, but when the plaster starts to sag, or “belly out,” from a wall or ceiling, it indicates deeper problems. When the patch is dry, use fine sandpaper to sand the surface smooth. In this case, use only joint compound for the final coat. Getting the surface coat smooth can be tricky, especially if the hole is large and you have limited plastering skills. When the patch is complete, and dry, just snip off the exposed wire. If necessary, wind wire ties wound around one or two dowels or sticks to hold it in place until the plaster mixture hardens.Īpply the plaster mixture in layers, allowing each to set before applying the next. Using tin snips, cut a piece of wire mesh that’s large enough to bunch-up and fill the opening when you push it into the hole. Begin by enlarging the hole just enough to expose firm lath around the perimeter. If there isn’t proper backing behind the hole, install backing first. Working from the edges inward, push the plaster mixture into and through the lath for a good bond. Or, you can use a screwdriver or a utility knife.įirst brush away loose plaster and dust. Wearing safety glasses, take a lever-type can opener and use the point to widen the crack to about 1/8 inch, as shown at right. It just takes a little spackling compound to repair fine cracks, nail holes, and gouges in a firmly anchored plaster wall. If, when you push on the wall, it flexes as though it has broken away from its support base, call a plaster specialist-the repair will involve removing the loose plaster and replacing it. ![]() Small cracks in plaster are relatively easy to repair, with one condition: The plaster must be firmly anchored to the lath behind it. Cracks leading from windows and doors or along seams in the ceiling can signal more significant damage, so you may want to call in a contractor to take a look at your home’s structural integrity.
![]() To learn more about color schemes, combinations, and palettes, please feel free to check out some of the other posts on our website.□ I wanted to create a color picker for CSS & HTML that's clean and elegant, without clutter and where we see a large preview of the selected color. In terms of balance and contrast between cool and warm colors, split complementary color schemes offer pretty much the same benefits as their solely complementary counterparts.Īn added advantage of split complementary colors is that they are better for beginners since the hues are subtler and produce less tension. Split complementary schemes are pleasant, flexible, and easy to work with. You can go for four or more hues, and it will still remain a split-complementary color scheme. While a typical split-complementary scheme comprises three colors, that is not a hard and fast rule. What Are the Different Split Complementary Color Schemes?Īs you can guess, there are 12 split complementary color schemes made using different combinations of the 12 hues on the color wheel. One of the two split complementary colors can make up 30% of the design, and the other can make up the remaining 10%. This will give your design a harmonious feeling. We recommend using a 60-30-10 approach, where 60% of your design consists of the base color. Now, apply the color scheme to your design. Split-complimentary colors resultsīonus: You can also play around with the brightness and saturation values until you get your desired contrast. Remember that the max value of hue is 360 so if you decrease by 200 and your existing value is 120 for example you’ll need to loop around (120 – 200 = -120 + 360 = 240). This will give you the second split-complementary color. On one of the remaining two blotches, increase the hue by 200 points. This will give you the first complementary color. Most design software will let you choose the hue manually. On one of the three blotches, bring the hue down by 200 points. Starting with 3 blotches of the same color Step 3 – Change the Hue Paste the color two more times, on different locations on the same canvas so that you have three blotches of the same color. Pick a color of your choice and paste it on the blank canvas. How to Create a Split Complementary Color Scheme?īelow is an easy way of creating your own split complementary color scheme using any design tool like Figma or Photoshop. ![]() So, your split complementary color scheme comprises red, yellow-green, and blue-green. You can use the ColorKit color picker to find split-complementary colors instantly. Now, instead of choosing the complementary (green) color, you choose the colors either side of green (they would be yellow-green and blue-green). The complementary color would be the color located directly opposite to red on the color wheel – this would be green. ![]() The first step is picking a base color (let us say your base color is red). The typical color wheel consists of 12 colors, including primary, secondary, and tertiary. The easiest way to determine split complementary colors is by using the color wheel. How to Decide Which Colors Are Split Complementary? Compared to complementary color schemes, split complementary colors offer better contrast. Getting a split complementary scheme requires you to pick a base color and the two colors adjacent to the base color’s complement. Example of split complementary colors on the color wheel So, it is quite similar to the complementary color scheme but, instead of two colors, the split complementary scheme is made up of three hues. A split complementary color scheme is one that has a base color and a couple of secondary colors. ![]() Budgeting is an important life skillīudgeting isn’t just for college students. You can also find ways to cut expenses, helping you save even more. This makes it easier to designate a certain amount of money to go towards saving for those wants.

Also, by getting the physical copy of Sonic Mania Plus, you also get a mini art book of characters and levels from the game as well as an awesome reversible cover that can make your Switch case look like a Sega Genesis case. ![]() Overall, Sonic Mania Plus adds even more features to an already awesome game! I had a lot of fun playing this game and would highly recommend it to anyone, but especially to fans of the older Sonic titles. This mode was a lot of fun and a great addition to Mania. The bonus level in this mode works as a way to unlock characters, as well as get items and rings in a skill crane game within a pinball game. If you die as Knuckles, you can’t play as Knuckles unless you unlock him again. There are no life boxes in this mode, rather, each character works like a life. Developed by the team behind Sonic Mania, the 3D platformer looks and feels like something from the Nintendo GameCube era. However, what makes this feature really interesting is that throughout the levels there are boxes with the ability to change your partner to a completely different character, Tails or Knuckles–this also works to unlock them. You begin playing as Sonic, with a choice between adding Mighty or Ray along with you, through the levels of Sonic Mania with the ability to switch in-game who to control. I find Ray hard to control, he just floats there or dives into the ground, while Mighty’s blocking is a nice convince.Īlong with new characters, there is a feature called Encore Mode. However, if I had to pick my favorite character to play in Mania in addition to these new characters, it would have to be Knuckles due to his ability to glide and climb. Mighty’s ability is to block enemy hits and spikes when curled up, as well as the power to slam into the ground, while Ray’s ability is to parachute down slowly. With the newly included Plus feature, you can now play as Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel! Both of these characters from far back in Sonic history. The two other games modes, Time Attack and Competition, are okay but not as enjoyable as Mania mode to me. The bosses are great, with one in particular an amazing reference to a Sonic game I loved to play as a kid but thought had been forgotten. The bonus stage at checkpoints was awesome to see again, and the bonus stage at the giant ring was reminiscent of Sonic R graphics-wise. My favorite out of the new zones would have to be Press Garden – the backgrounds are a beautiful East Asian aesthetic with wintry themes. Sonic Mania Plus has zones that would have fit perfectly in the Genesis games, as well as bringing back older ones. With Sonic Mania Plus, not only does this game make my child-self happy, it makes me happy in the present to see the great care in bringing back Sonic in such a fantastic way. Because of that, Sonic was a big part of my childhood as I loved playing his titles. My first gaming console was the Sega Genesis. ![]() ![]() With a contemporary, rectangular back and a comfortable waterfall front, the Polywood Modern offers an upgraded look that brings the Adirondack chair into the 21st century.

It weighs 16.5 pounds, so you can move it but not very far or very easily. The shades of silvery gray make for a sophisticated color palette that blends seamlessly with its surroundings, whether the chair is situated among nature or on your deck.ĭesigned as a set-it-up-and-leave-it foldable seat, the Yeti Hondo Base Camp Chair is not meant to be very portable-and it's not. We're also fans of this chair's aesthetic, which seems to simultaneously channel both high-end patio furniture and classic camping chairs to create a luxurious yet athletic vibe. Combined with solid cast joints, it's basically indestructible. The mesh FlexGrid fabric is totally breathable and incredibly strong, with the ability to support up to 500 pounds of weight without stretching out. But its impressive durability, superior comfort, and sleek look are worth the higher price tag, if you can swing it. On the opposite end of the price spectrum is the Yeti Hondo Base Camp Chair, which is a serious splurge. Who it's not for: People looking for a lightweight option. Who it's for: People who can afford to splurge on a stay-put chair. Materials: Steel and polyester | Dimensions: 24 x 18.1 x 9.1 inches | Weight: 8.3 pounds | Weight Capacity: 325 pounds But for car camping, tailgating, or any other activity that doesn't require a long trek with your chair, this is by far the best budget choice. The only downside is that this chair weighs 8.3 pounds, which can be a deterrent for adventurers who like to hike to their campsite. The other armrest includes a cup holder for your open beverage, while a handy side pocket is attached to hold snacks, reading materials, or keys. One armrest is equipped with a built-in insulated pouch that keeps up to four cans chilled, so you'll never be without a refreshing drink. If you're not already sold, then maybe the features will convince you. Its affordable price tag simply cannot be beat for what you're getting, which is an exceedingly comfortable polyester-cushioned seat paired with a sturdy steel frame that can support over 300 pounds of weight.

While we're partial to this Classic version, which sits at an ideal 15.5 inches above the ground, this chair is also available in both a low-back and high-back beach chair option, which are much shorter. The kit is also useful to restore well-worn chairs, but buyers needn't worry about excessive wear any time soon-though the webbing will slightly stretch, the seat won't sag and the fabric is fade-resistant. Those concerned with aesthetics will also be pleased to know that the Lawn Chair USA Webbing Chair is available in a ton of colors and can be re-webbed with a replacement lawn chair webbing kit if you want an update. But with a vintage-style look, it's not too sporty to serve as full-time backyard seating. The rust-free aluminum frame and UV-resistant webbing are incredibly lightweight and easy to fold up, so the chair is portable for camping, tailgating, and hanging in the park. The Lawn Chair USA Webbing Chair is our top pick because it's a universal lawn chair that works for a variety of uses. Who it's not for: People who are interested in extra features.

You simply open the software you wish to use, set the appropriate pattern for your setup (I used Cardiod) and you're good to go. ![]() The mic has four sets of controls, a mute button and volume level control for the headphones on the front, with a gain control, and a pattern control on the back. The Yeti mic was installed automatically and was ready to use in literally two minutes. As for windows setup (I use Windows 10) it was simply plugging in the mic, and windows does the rest. The Yeti mic ships upside down in the stand and to deploy simply loosen the friction nuts on each side slightly, rotate the mic to an upright and vertical position then re-tighten. Setup/Use – As for assembly/setup there is really not much to it. Inside we have the microphone and stand, the USB cable, and the instructions. Everything was foam padded with foam that was designed to hug the mic.

As I have been working virtually for over six years the mic I have been using for Skype and MSTeams calls is seriously dated, so when I had the opportunity to try the Blue Microphones Yeti Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone I didn’t hesitate a moment and I was NOT disappointed. A final note: don't kid yourself, this is bigger than the picture shows it's also a little on the heavy side. That's the reason for the 1-star downgrade. The instructions should have been a little clearer in the box but are a little cryptic at best. I'm a newbie to this sort of thing so I had to search through YouTube to find best practices. As this is directional you will want to speak to the side of the microphone NOT on top like stand-up comedians do as it will not pick up your voice. This will pick up the voice clearly without catching all your "P"s. The best way to use this microphone with cordial setting is the place it within 8 inches of your mouth around 45 degrees off-center from you while keeping the direction of the front of the device facing your mouth. You do not need to buy Yeti branded accessories as the threads are universal to most brands. This really should have included a pop filter but those care quite cheap to get. Cordial is the one you want (looks like an upside-down heart as this will record only from a single direction directly in from of the microphone.
