To keep the blog up to date, I’ve just finished developing an automation that runs each morning and parses my recent photos for omelettes. Near every day I eat an omelette, and take a picture of my work. One project I’d call out though would be my omelette blog. ![]() There have been quite a few projects following that one, and if anyone out there is interested in keeping up, you can find me on Twitter, where I drop each release. I think Potato or Tomato came online around late 2017, and it might just be one of my oldest sites that’s still standing. How long ago did you launch the site / what weirdness are you working on now? My first project was for a local business that could only barter, and paid with float tank sessions. I shifted my attention towards learning how to code, and later that year started freelancing. Building the site, I saw that as a developer you could take a raw idea and make something real out of it, and I had to have more of that. I created a little marketing site, and released the first newsletter, but never made it to the second. I’d forward interesting articles I found to my friends, and figured I’d take that to the next level by putting together a roundup newsletter, because everyone would want to read that. If I wasn’t in the mountains, I was reading up on ski related news. When I was in college, I was really into skiing. Really hoping that’s mostly just individuals playing around. ![]() That looks like almost 17% of all guesses being incorrect. Over the last six months, Potato has been guessed 1,576,183 times, Tomato has been guessed 1,542,960 times, and there have been 520,893 incorrect guesses. Well, Potato or Tomato is a data driven project, so I actually have some numbers for you! It’s kind of incredible how much traffic, and playthrough the game gets. Look for that feature on the horizon!ĭo people get potato or tomato correct/incorrect the most often. I patched this up by removing the counter, but now that the site’s getting some added attention, I think it’s time to bring it back, and this time, in a secure fashion. He was able to write directly to my counter, and even delete the thing. I was using a database to manage the counter, and hadn’t locked down the access rights. I thought I had some bug in the code, and as I’m searching around for what it could be, one of my colleagues confesses that he just hacked the site. I debuted the game at a work event, and as we’re all playing through, the counter spikes up to the millions. ![]() When a player guessed correctly, they’d see a message like, “You’d be surprised, 728 have guessed wrong!”. The first release of Potato or Tomato featured a wrong guess counter that sat on the win screen. ![]() Were there any particular challenges that popped up bringing it to life? Potato or Tomato was born as a game that individuals could play to test their knowledge of potatoes and tomatoes, and if wrong, come away with the difference. I watched this video, and felt like it was my calling to clear up any of this misconception. Sure enough, at one point he holds up a tomato and a kid guesses potato. He’s trying to prove that kids today are so disconnected from fresh food that they can’t even pick out the basics. Hah - there’s this segment from Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, where he goes into a classroom and asks kids if they can identify all sorts of different fruits and vegetables. ![]()

Purpose Īuthors such as Keith Critchlow argue that Islamic patterns are created to lead the viewer to an understanding of the underlying reality, rather than being mere decoration, as writers interested only in pattern sometimes imply. This aniconism in Islamic culture caused artists to explore non-figural art, and created a general aesthetic shift toward mathematically based decoration. Islamic art mostly avoids figurative images to avoid becoming objects of worship. From the 9th century onward, a range of sophisticated geometric patterns based on polygonal tessellation began to appear in Islamic art, eventually becoming dominant. They are one of three forms of Islamic decoration, the others being the arabesque based on curving and branching plant forms, and Islamic calligraphy all three are frequently used together. Islamic geometric patterns are derived from simpler designs used in earlier cultures: Greek, Roman, and Sasanian. Lu and Paul Steinhardt.īackground Islamic decoration ![]() Escher in the twentieth century, and among mathematicians and physicists such as Peter J. Interest in Islamic geometric patterns is increasing in the West, both among craftsmen and artists like M. These include kilim carpets, Persian girih and Moroccan zellij tilework, muqarnas decorative vaulting, jali pierced stone screens, ceramics, leather, stained glass, woodwork, and metalwork. Geometric patterns occur in a variety of forms in Islamic art and architecture. The complexity and variety of patterns used evolved from simple stars and lozenges in the ninth century, through a variety of 6- to 13-point patterns by the 13th century, and finally to include also 14- and 16-point stars in the sixteenth century. These may constitute the entire decoration, may form a framework for floral or calligraphic embellishments, or may retreat into the background around other motifs. The geometric designs in Islamic art are often built on combinations of repeated squares and circles, which may be overlapped and interlaced, as can arabesques (with which they are often combined), to form intricate and complex patterns, including a wide variety of tessellations. Please allow 0.5-2 cm differences due to manual measurement.Islamic geometric patterns are one of the major forms of Islamic ornament, which tends to avoid using figurative images, as it is forbidden to create a representation of an important Islamic figure according to many holy scriptures.Actual color may be slightly different from the image due to different monitor and light effects.Gift of love: A perfect idea if you are finding a birthday gift, a housewarming gift, a festival gift, a Mother’s Day/ Father’s Day/ Christmas gift for your family or friends.Come with a hole and metal wire attached to the strap.

As I was working on the correspondence section, however, I was reminded that my experience in this realm is not the same as others’. When I started writing this book, I was adamant that I wouldn’t discuss gender outside of historical contexts, because I personally don’t see the value of using the traditional gendering of things and concepts, like planets, plants, crystals, and anything else that may be a correspondence. The intention may never be intended to harm (sometimes the defenses for these ideals border on saviorism), but there is a very famous phrase about the road to hell and what it is paved with. ![]() It’s a slippery slope toward trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF) ideals, which can be incredibly harmful. It’s easy to see why people become dismissive of these books. In a lot of magical texts (even books being written now), a lot of ideas distill gender down to female = vulva/womb, and male = penis, which isn’t true. If you’re not introduced to other ideas, how are you supposed to ever explore or expand your individual identity or magic systems as a whole? There’s not a lot of room for exploring the other. In alchemy, there are some ideas around the androgynous and hermaphroditic, but even then, it is still born out of the goal of marrying two opposing and complementary ideas. Western magic and occult systems are largely built on binaries, including definitions that involve the masculine and feminine, and how those concepts exist in relation to each other. It’s really hard to find a comfortable space to explore your gender and your identity when every book you read is seemingly very rigid in how things are supposed to be. Magicians and witches, like most humans, are not always the most flexible when it comes to shifting beliefs or looking at their beliefs in objective ways. Some of my complicated views around gender exist because of the dialogues created in most magic books. Part of being a curious magic maker is holding the willingness to experiment and grow, and acknowledging that we don’t always have the answers. Even my understanding of magic and witchcraft will change drastically in the near future. It’s how I currently see the world and my understanding of the world, and that perception is constantly shifting. That doesn’t mean that there’s anything inherently wrong with my views at the time I’m writing this. In a hundred years (heck, even ten years), the way I discuss gender in this book may be obsolete and embarrassing. We’re open and willing to have discussions with others-until the other doesn’t share our views or understanding. We’re generally pretty quick to react when someone doesn’t share the same opinion or doesn’t have the same information. I don’t think that there should be any shame in admitting that we as individuals and a society are in a constant state of flux, shifting and forming ideas, experimenting and unlearning. My opinion and view of gender (including the gender binary) are constantly evolving and shifting. It’s important to acknowledge that the history of magic and the history of our planet have a lot of queerness, in spite of centuries and millennia of attempted erasure. Magic is queer, and we should explore it as such. As a nonbinary person, I’m interested in gender studies, the history of gender equality, and where I would have (and do) fit as neither/both masculine and feminine. In some historical contexts, it is relevant to discuss how gender plays a part in the history of the occult and witchcraft. ![]() However, I am interested in historical accuracy, and gender has a place within that framework. I’m not interested in practicing magic in binary ways, or gendering everything. Hi, it’s me, your friendly neighborhood nonbinary witch. For simplicity’s sake, I use the words magick and magic in this book. Magick, magic, magike, and magix are all sides of the same metaphysical die. I think that any and all spellings have merit, and sometimes one spelling feels more in line with the topic at hand. Day-to-day, I use various spellings interchangeably. The spelling magick with a k was popularized by Aleister Crowley, to distinguish the arcane arts from the art of illusion performed by stage magicians. Take what you need from this book, and leave the rest. The views in this book are my own, based on months (and sometimes years) of research and study, or based on personal experience and my own point of view. While the focus of this book is sigils, the language is inevitably twisted and woven into the language of magic and witchcraft on a whole. Before we begin, I wish to touch base on a couple of matters regarding magic. ![]() ![]() Just don't let me reach level 16 in 3 days 'cuz i travel with the speed of a cockroach. ![]() At least give me a level 10-15 temporary mount to use a number of minutes, or with a cooldown, i don't know.

Let me start from the beginning and tell you why i'm mad, tilted and upset beyond beliefs right now.

![]() He even one time tries to cause Travis’ death, although the latter somehow survives. It manifests in his anger towards Travis, who seems to be aware of it and mentions it after he, Cal, Becky, and Tobin reach the dilapidated bowling center. The incestuous element in the story stems from Cal’s forbidden feelings for his sister. Some of the themes that the film explores are cannibalism, graphic and gory violence, and time travel. Like any film inspired by King’s works, ‘In the Tall Grass’ is riddled with disturbing imagery. The siblings meet Tobin (Will Buie Jr.), the boy whose cries for help they heard, and his parents, Ross and Natalie (Patrick Wilson and Rachel Wilson). ![]() Travis (Harrison Gilbertson), the father of Becky’s baby, comes in search of her and Cal and gets lost in the grass as well. Not long after they enter the grass, they get separated. To make the matter even more precarious, Becky is six months pregnant. Soon, they realize that they can’t get out of there. The cinematic adaptation of Stephen King and Joe Hill’s 2012 namesake horror novella, ‘In the Tall Grass’ tells the story of a pair of siblings, Cal and Becky Demuth (Avery Whitted and Laysla De Oliveira), who enter a field of tall grass after hearing a young boy’s call for help. The tragic aspect of the relationship between Bulbbul and Satya is one of the key plot points in the story. You may watch it here. The plot has a definite incestuous element that can be observed in the dynamics between several characters. When Satya eventually returns home after two decades, Mahendra has died, Indranil is absent, and there are rumors of a chudail (a malevolent female spirit) that kills men who abuse their wives. This prompts Indranil to send his brother to London. In time, these emotions develop into something mutual and deeper. Since she has come to live at her husband’s home, Bulbbul has felt a special connection to Indranil’s youngest brother, Satya (Avinash Tiwary), with whom her age difference is minimal. Her husband has a twin brother, Mahendra, who later marries Binodini (Paoli Dam). ![]() Her wedding to her much older husband took place when she was only five years old. The eponymous character (Tripti Dimri) is the wife of the affluent landlord Indranil (Rahul Bose). Written and directed by Anvita Dutt, Netflix’s period horror film ‘Bulbbul’ is predominantly set in Bengal Presidency in the 19 th century. As the story unfolds, dark secrets about their past begin to surface, and their actions while being stitched together turn out to be their biggest regret. Sara suspects that her controlling husband Mario is probably responsible for the kidnapping meanwhile, David is completely clueless. With no dearth of time on their hand, Sara and David begin to speculate who could be behind such a heinous crime. ![]() As the name suggests, the movie centers on two strangers who are abducted and then stitched together by an unknown kidnapper. Two (2021)ĭirected by Mar Targarona, ‘ Two‘ is a Spanish horror film that features a star-studded cast that includes Marina Gatell, Pablo Derqui, Kandido Uranga, Anna Chincho Serrano, and Esteban Galilea. She initially thinks that Max’s refusal to speak about Rebecca stems from his regrets about his second marriage but later discovers that Max hated his first wife, who had a series of affairs, including with her cousin Jack Favell (Sam Riley), and often mocked him by mentioning them. ![]() However, the protagonist’s Cinderella-esque story turns sour as she finds herself completely overshadowed by the memories of the first Mrs. de Winter then travels to Manderley, Max’s sprawling familial estate in Cornwall. The unnamed protagonist (Lily James) meets the 20-something affluent handsome widower Maxim “Max” de Winter ( Armie Hammer), and they get married. Wheatley approaches the story like a psychological thriller, with elements of romance and horror adding layers to the narrative. Rebecca (2020) Image Credit: Kerry Brown/Netflixīen Wheatley’s 2020 Netflix film ‘ Rebecca’ is not the first time that Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 classic novel of the same name has been adapted for the scene (arguably, most famously, by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940) and likely will not be the last. ![]() ![]() Building codes allow reductions in live loads based on duration of load. Span tables for engineered wood are used in a very similar way as those for sawn lumber. And at times, they make or break a design. All of these high-performance products are cost effective in some applications. An LVL product that has an Fb of 3100 will carry more load than and LVL product with an Fb of 2400. No matter what product you specify, structural performance is controlled by strength (Fb) and Stiffness (E). Engineered wood is consistent from one piece to the next because each piece is made more-or-less the same. Strength-reducing characteristics like knots, grade and slope of grain are controlled during manufacturing process so that the end product represents a more efficient use of the wood fiber. The claims are basically true, but you do pay for the improved performance. Fv does not change when you double the thickness.Įngineered Wood manufacturers are quick to point out that their products provide superior strength and stiffness. Make sure the shear value (Fv) for the species and grade you use exceeds the Fv listed in the span table. If you size a roof beam like a structural ridge that has a L/240 limitation, you would multiply the minimum E-value by 0.666 (785,000 x 0.666 = 522,810 in this case). The table lists spans with a deflection limit of L/360, normal for floor loads. The required E-value does not change when you double the 2×6 because as you double the allowable load, you are doubling the thickness of the beam. Therefore, a double 2×6 carries 2 x 347 = 694 pounds per lineal foot. Note: a single 2×6 will support 347 pounds per lineal foot of beam. (in AF&PA Design Values for Joists and Rafters #2 hem-fir = Fb psi & E psi- so use span table column Fb 1100)Ĭhoose the row for the size of lumber used in the double header: use 2×6 in this example. Select the Fb column of the lumber you intend to use Pick the span you want (pick 4’0″ for example) Just do the following:ĭetermine the total load per foot of beam But you can trick WSDD tables into giving you values for double or triple 2-by beams with other deflection limits. The WSDD tables only list values for solid wood beams at deflection limits of L/360. The WSDD is an extremely useful book (WSDD costs $20. American Forest & Paper Association’s Wood Structural Design Data, provides span recommendations for solid-sawn wood beams up to 32 feet, but the table runs a hefty 140 pages. And even though span tables provide limited data, they are very long. Most beam tables only list values for whole-foot spans like 11’0″, 12’0″, etc. You merely look for the distance you need to span match the load per foot of beam to the appropriate Fb(strength) and E(stiffness) values listed and bang: you have a winner! Span tables are easy to use, but they have limitations. Sawn-Lumber span tables are convenient tools. Technical experts have computed many combinations of these variables and present a variety of solutions in the form of span tables. You can do these calculations yourself or you can use span tables. ![]() Formulas that determine the allowable span and size of a beam rely on a host of variables like species, grade, size, deflection limit and type of load. Structural ability of sawn- and engineered-wood beams are predicted through mathematical calculation. No matter what material we specify, beams must provide adequate strength, stiffness, and shear resistance. We will compare the performance and cost of sawn-lumber, LVL, Timberstrand, Parallam and Anthony Power Beam in several different applications. We know how to measure the forces acting on a beam, now we’ll use this information to choose the appropriate structural material to resist the loads. In Part 1, “ Calculating Loads On Headers and Beams“, we learned how to trace load paths and translate roof, wall and floor loads into pounds per lineal foot of supporting beam. Once the loads acting on structural beams are calculated, the next step is to size and select the appropriate beam. ![]() ![]() Some information contained in it may be outdated.
