Of course, you don’t have to buy your brass polish. Though Hartman rubs in polish with very fine steel wool, she warns that you should never use anything thicker than grade 00 steel wool to avoid scratching the surface. Blue Magic is great for getting rid of tarnish and oxidation and works well on brass jewelry, the rim of a watch face, or a vintage tea set. Twinkle Brass & Copper Cleaning Kit actually has an anti-tarnish ingredient that extends the treatment, making it ideal for outdoor pieces. Bar Keepers Friend tackles both rust and tarnish on brass pieces. Brasso is great for to bring back shine to door knobs and locks. Our experts recommend some great store-bought cleaners to bring your brass back to its original luster in a jiffy. To remove discoloration, use a cleaning product specifically designed for brass, like Wright’s Brass Polish. Grab a soft cleaning cloth-Sorenson prefers a knit-cotton material, like an old undershirt-and buff away. For a more neglected piece, store-bought brass cleaners will get your brass polished in a jiffy. If your brass isn’t too grimy, this might be all you need for a refresh. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away the soapy water and all the debris, dust, and dirt. All you need to start is a mild dish soap, like Dawn Platinum Powerwash Free & Clear, and a warm water rinse. For hard water scaling use a simple solution of vinegar and water.” For other pieces, always wash the brass before polishing. “The best way to clean a brass faucet is with a clean microfiber cloth and water,” says Abbas Imtiaz Poonawala, director of operations for Isenberg Faucets in Dallas. “Wiring, mechanical complexity, and lubricating requirements generally turn these types of projects into more than simple DIY chores,” he says. “Too often I see what would be a wonderfully patinated item significantly degraded by a bad decision to restore it to a like-new state.”įor functional elements, such as locks, hinges, hardware, or light fixtures, Sorenson suggests seeking the help of a professional. “Oftentimes it’s best to forgo the polishing process altogether,” he says, noting that polishing antiques could significantly reduce their value. How do you clean badly tarnished brass?īefore you roll up your sleeves to clean brass, consider this: Sometimes the beauty of an antique brass object is its tarnish, in which case Sorenson recommends leaving it alone. Whether you’ve inherited brass jewelry, picked up a vintage lamp, or just replaced your cabinet pulls, this cleaning guide is sure to make your brass badass. Here, they reveal their favorite brass cleaners, how to make a DIY brass polish, and other key insights on cleaning brass. AD turned to experts for the best tips on caring for brass: Teri Hartman, manager of Liz’s Antique Hardware in Los Angeles, and Carl Sorenson, founder of Nanz, a New York company that produces custom-made solid-brass hardware. Players have the choice of choosing several options, from agreeing to back off to committing to his incestuous feelings. The player character is in a chair as his father - voiced by Willem Dafoe, who also plays the cop - pleads with him not to romantically pursue his daughter. Revealing the truth will trigger a second time loop to start, a two-minute flashback in which players see what happened the night their father died. The Husband is actually his wife's half-brother, though he had no knowledge of their relation or murdering their father. Though the wife did shoot her father, he didn't die - the wife's illegitimate half-brother came back a week later to finish the job. As husband and wife talk to the Cop about finding the brother, the time loop-ending truth is revealed. Unsurprisingly, as Twelve Minutes' narrative progresses, players find there is more to the story. Related: Twelve Minutes Cast: Who Plays Who in Annapurna Interactive's ThrillerĮarly in the game, the wife makes the stunning confession that she did in fact kill her father. Dialogue is key in Twelve Minutes, as it is the fastest way to get characters to open up and provide additional clues and context to the mystery. Often things learned in one time loop, such as a broken light switch knocking a person out, can't be used to further the narrative until the next loop due to time constraints. The gameplay in Twelve Minutes is deceptively simple players can only operate in the three rooms of the apartment and only interact with items or people inside. Design: Collective Works)īaby blue is another one of the colors that go with pink. 'Blue is a wonderful color to use in rooms where there are low levels of natural light and it is brought to life by layering it with highly contrasting colors,' explains Nicola. The blue paint has been pushed all over the walls, the cornices and on the ceiling for a unique ceiling decorating idea, making the cabinet really stand out. In this example by interior designer Nicola Harding, the light blue of the rug and the lighter hue of blue on the walls is a great basis for contrast. 'Colors that go together in nature are great to study and can show you have to use nature when considering color and how they work so beautifully together,' says designer Amy Lau. Both with strong associations with nature, they are vivid tones, but using nature as inspiration should be a good reason to give the combination a go. 'Blue and green should never be seen,' goes the age-old myth, but their contrasting nature can make green an interesting color that goes with baby blue, even though they are clashing colors on the color wheel. For extra contrast, the circular dining table was refashioned with black japan lacquer with a black glass table top for an extra sheen. The family was inspired by the New York apartment of model Cameren Dell'Orefice, using color and monochromatic schemes throughout the house to give it atmosphere and a distinctly sophisticated feel. Instead, the result is dramatic and stylish, a similar effect to a black and white monochrome color scheme, but with an inclination of color. The walls are painted in a sky blue hue, but the black walls and fireplace, plus pieces of furniture dotted around the room – the dining table and chest of drawers prevent the baby blue tone from being too soft. In this home, designed by Danielle Brustman and The Stylesmiths, the result of this color combination is artistic and chic. Design: Danielle Brustman)įor a more dramatic contrast when choosing colors that go with light blue, black and light blue create a sleek and sophisticated look. In the corner of the room, the golden glow of the onward room lures us through a doorway. With bare floors, the room feels airy and open, perfect for Southampton where this house is located.' The blue wall paneling idea is a bold backdrop for the client’s collection of contemporary art and an 18th-century Georgian mirror presiding over the fireplace. With master painter John LaPolla, we ultimately achieved the right one. 'We watched it repeatedly because each frame contained so many different shades. 'At a client's request, we undertook the process of recreating precisely the same shade of blue as the drawing room in the 2005 movie, Pride & Prejudice,' explains Bunny. In this example, light blue and the brown from wood create an opulent and grand look, which is exactly the intention of designer Bunny Williams. Brown is a dark tone of orange, which on the color wheel sits opposite blue, so the two colors complement each other. Design: Bunny Williams)īaby blue works beautifully when juxtaposed against wooden tones. (Image credit: Fritz von der Schulenburg. Navid Mirtorabi, proprietor of The Twenty Two, worked with Natalia to take inspiration from 18th-century classical French design, giving it a modern twist with rich, playful textures and custom upholstered pieces. 'In this bedroom of The Twenty Two, it is a really classic combination and has worked really well.' In this room a light blue is picked for the walls, and a bright, cheery scarlet red velvet headboard idea adds a focal point and a touch of luxury to the room. 'Blue is a color that goes with so many colors,' says Natalia. The project honors the color blue and uses the shade in various hues throughout the hotel. This combination is illustrated here in Natalia Miyar's design at Mayfair hotel, The Twenty Two. In color theory, red is close to light blue on the opposite side of the spectrum, meaning that science explains why they work well together. In this instance, the light blue acts as a base, allowing the red headboard to take the stage. Light blue and red are another strong pairing. TALE-like proteins thus may play not only antagonistic roles in host-microbe interactions. TALE-like proteins are not restricted to the genus Xanthomonas, and have also been found in the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum ( de Lange et al., 2014), and in the endosymbiont Burkholderia rhizoxinica ( de Lange et al., 2014 Juillerat et al., 2014). This property has been exploited for programmable DNA binding, and has allowed targeted genome editing by combining TALE DNA binding domains with nucleases (TALENs) ( Maggio and Gonçalves, 2015). The DNA binding domain consists of variable repeats that together account for a predictable DNA recognition code ( Boch et al., 2009 Moscou and Bogdanove, 2009). The bacteria inject TALEs via their Type III secretion system (T3SS) into host cells, where they translocate to the nucleus and bind host gene promoters in a sequence-specific manner. Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are important effectors of plant pathogenic bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas ( Boch et al., 2009). Further work is now needed to see if the gene that encodes TFIIAγ in crop plants can be edited to achieve this goal, or whether genes encoding resistant variants of the protein already exist in other plant species. Uncovering how disease-causing Xanthomonas bacteria use TALEs to infect plants will hopefully help researchers to develop crop plants that are more resistant to these harmful bacteria. also identify the region of the TALE that binds to the transcription factor, and show that rice plants with lower levels of the transcription factor are protected against bacterial blight and bacterial streak. The transcription factor in question is rice’s version of a general transcription factor, called TFIIAγ, which is essential for gene activation in plants, animals and fungi. show that TALE-carrying bacteria do make use of at least one of rice’s own transcription factors to cause bacterial blight and bacterial streak. However, it was not clear if the TALEs hijack the plant’s transcriptional machinery to activate these “susceptibility genes” or if they activate the genes via some other means. Like other organisms, plants use proteins called transcription factors to switch genes on or off. The bacterial proteins are essentially injected into the plant’s cells where they activate specific plant genes that make the host more susceptible to infection. For example, at least five Xanthomonas species use proteins called transcription activator-like effectors (or TALEs for short) to infect their host plants. Plants do have an immune system that is able to detect invading microbes and trigger a defensive response against them however, many disease-causing bacteria have evolved ways to avoid or counteract this response. Xanthomonas is a particularly widespread genus of bacteria it consists of almost 30 species that cause diseases in more than 400 plant hosts, including bacterial blight and bacterial streak in rice plants. These results have important implications for formulating a widely applicable strategy with which to improve resistance of plants to TALE-carrying pathogens.Īround the world, bacterial infections reduce the yields of many important crops like rice, tomatoes, peppers and citrus fruits. Suppression or mutation of TFIIAγ5 can also reduce bacterial streak, another devastating disease of rice caused by TALE-carrying X. Conversely, reduced expression of the TFIIAγ5 host gene limits the induction of susceptibility genes and thus decreases bacterial blight symptoms. Direct interaction of several TALEs with TFIIAγ5 is required for activation of disease susceptibility genes. oryzae, the causal agent for bacterial blight. Here, we show that the basal transcription factor IIA gamma subunit TFIIAγ5 from rice is a key component for infection by the TALE-carrying bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. However, it has been unclear how TALEs, after they have been injected into the host cells, activate transcription of host genes required for infection success. Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are sequence-specific DNA binding proteins found in a range of plant pathogenic bacteria, where they play important roles in host-pathogen interactions. Like fans have been doing for months, Barry figures out the truth by replaying events in his memory, looking for hidden clues. And certainly more than whatever convoluted explanation would be used to justify a surprise. While the writers arguably (or definitely) forced fans to wait a tad too long to find out for certain that Barry is Savitar - even pushing the reveal until the final moments of episode 20 - the result makes quite a bit of sense. Rather than take a name out of left field like Ronnie Raymond or maybe Jay Garrick, The Flash has once again been beaten to the punch by its rabid fan base. This is what makes the reveal so shocking - it was so completely expected. Past teases from the cast, particularly Grant Gustin, made it seem like The Flash would go in an unexpected direction. In fact, the future Barry Allen was likely the most common name - along with Wally West ( my guess). Barry Allen has for some time been one of the more common names floated around the internet in discussions over Savitar's identity. The big reveal is both shocking and completely expected. With time running out for Barry, and The Flash's third season, Barry and the audience now know that Barry Allen and Savitar are one and the same. The tag to last week's episode of The Flash featured Savitar revealing himself to Caitlin Snow, but - much like I am doing in this recap - frustratingly extended the torture for fans. Fans may have even started to wonder if they would ever figure it out. Most recently, the Flash traveled to 2024 to solve the mystery of Savitar's identity, only to discover that his future self never figured it out. Barry even came close on several occasions to learning his adversary's identity, but always to no avail. It has been a long time coming, but The Flash finally answered the question fans have been scratching their heads over for months: Who the heck is Savitar? Prior to the big reveal, there had been hints on the CW series. Neighbors and others who provide practical help when we need it-driving us to the airport or picking up groceries when we’re sick, for example.Esty suggests that we all need three different types of friends to really thrive: How many friends do you need? Some experts say five close friends is optimal, but that can be difficult as we get older. And friendships are more important than family relationships for older adults, according to research from William Chopik, assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State University. Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development at Massachusetts General Hospital and coauthor of The Good Life, which explores the findings from the 85-year study. The results of the longest study of human life point to the top factor that leads to happiness as we age: good relationships, says Dr. Choosing and fostering only “good relationships” We invest in more emotionally important parts of life, and life gets better, so we’re happier day-to-day,” she says, in a TED Talk titled Older People Are Happier.Įxperts say there are three key ways that older adults can cultivate happiness: 1. We’re more appreciative, more open to reconciliation. When we recognize that we don’t have all the time in the world, we see our priorities most clearly. “I don’t just talk the talk, I walk the walk.“As we age, our time horizons grow shorter and our goals change. “I walk every single day and listen to a book, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in the last two years, especially with the pandemic us in,” she shares. She’s seen improvement in her own life from going on hot girl walks. “You can start with a goal of just walking for a few minutes, or if you’re struggling with that, your goal can be putting your shoes on,” she says. But remember, there’s nothing wrong with taking baby steps to get there. Groh also believes in walking daily, if possible, to help create the habit and reap the benefits. “The key is that you find it enjoyable and it makes you want to walk more often!” she says. Trotta mentions a few ideas, such as listening to a podcast or audiobook, calling a friend, and watching Netflix or YouTube if you’re on a treadmill. You’re also free to do or think about whatever you wish during that period. (Side note: These stretches can help if you’re feeling body aches from extra exercise.) Depending on your schedule, physical ability, et cetera, you may be able to do this more consistently (and enjoy it), which is ultimately most important. “I recommend that my own clients try to walk for 30 minutes a day,” Trotta says. If the idea of four miles (which is about an hour or more) of exercise sounds like too much to you-and hey, we definitely get it-that’s okay, too! Shorter walks still serve you well. “This uses the strategy of ‘habit pairing’ or even ‘habit stacking’-instead of seeing exercise as something that is done out of context, the hot girl walk concept integrates exercise into an accessible activity and a pleasant headspace.” This, she explains, tends to promote consistency. “I think the genius of the hot girl walk trend is that it gives exercisers something to focus on, like upbeat music and positive thinking about your goals,” she says. Trotta also loves how the hot girl walk combines multiple healthy habits. It includes several good habits you can do consistently 13, 2022 9:00 AM PT 10:00 AM MT 11:00 AM CT 12:00 PM ET 17:00 GMT 1:00 10:00 AM MST 11:00 AM CST 12:00 PM EST 11:00 AM CT 21:00 UAE 12:00 ET NaN:� - Mike Evans had five receptions for 54 yards Sunday in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 21-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks. 27, 2022 12:52 PM PT 1:52 PM MT 2:52 PM CT 3:52 PM ET 20:52 GMT 4:52 1:52 PM MST 2:52 PM CST 3:52 PM EST 2:52 PM CT 0:52 UAE (+1) 15:52 ET NaN:� - Mike Evans had two receptions for 31 yards Sunday in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 23-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns. 5, 2022 7:35 PM PT 8:35 PM MT 9:35 PM CT 10:35 PM ET 3:35 GMT 11:35 8:35 PM MST 9:35 PM CST 10:35 PM EST 9:35 PM CT 7:35 UAE (+1) 22:35 ET NaN:� - Mike Evans had four receptions for 59 yards Monday in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the New Orleans Saints. 11, 2022 4:09 PM PT 5:09 PM MT 6:09 PM CT 7:09 PM ET 0:09 GMT 8:09 5:09 PM MST 6:09 PM CST 7:09 PM EST 6:09 PM CT 4:09 UAE (+1) 19:09 ET NaN:� - Mike Evans had four receptions for 44 yards Sunday in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 35-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.ĭec. 18, 2022 4:08 PM PT 5:08 PM MT 6:08 PM CT 7:08 PM ET 0:08 GMT 8:08 5:08 PM MST 6:08 PM CST 7:08 PM EST 6:08 PM CT 4:08 UAE (+1) 19:08 ET NaN:� - Mike Evans had five receptions for 83 yards Sunday in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.ĭec. 25, 2022 8:16 PM PT 9:16 PM MT 10:16 PM CT 11:16 PM ET 4:16 GMT 12:16 9:16 PM MST 10:16 PM CST 11:16 PM EST 10:16 PM CT 8:16 UAE 23:16 ET NaN:� - Mike Evans had three receptions for 29 yards Sunday in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 19-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals.ĭec. 1, 2023 1:05 PM PT 2:05 PM MT 3:05 PM CT 4:05 PM ET 21:05 GMT 5:05 2:05 PM MST 3:05 PM CST 4:05 PM EST 3:05 PM CT 1:05 UAE (+1) 16:05 ET NaN:� - Mike Evans had 10 receptions for 207 yards and three touchdowns Sunday in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 30-24 win over the Carolina Panthers.ĭec.

Step 2: Add all the ingredients in a blender. I will say, if you are making this and enjoy it, I used walnuts and pecans as the base with the dates (my dates were so old and needed rehydrating) and the “crust” came out good with the substitute. water The basic steps Step 1: Soak the cashews in water overnight. This isn’t the indulgent cheesecake I was looking for. To me, this is the stereotypical “healthy” vegan dessert. Sweetening it and the vanilla made it better and I strongly recommend it if you have a sweeter tooth, but it still isn’t cheesecake. Blend on high for a minute or two until very silky and smooth. Starting on low, blend the cashews as you increase the speed to high (about 10 seconds to increase from low to high). I added more sweetener and almost a teaspoon of vanilla since cheesecake traditionally has strong vanilla notes (I was so surprised this recipe didn’t call for vanilla!). Place the cup of soaked cashews, cup purified water, lemon juice and sea salt into a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix. I wouldn’t consider this a cheesecake because of how tart it came out. A quarter of a cup was a lot and made it more like a tart. Unfortunately, for my taste there was too much lemon. Chill Chill until firm enough to fold in cashews, then chill some more until frozen. There were so many great reviews, which is one of the reasons I wanted to try it. Pour Pour the liquidy ice cream mixture into a freezer-friendly ice cream container. I made this for my birthday and it let me down! I thought this was simple and versatile enough for my birthday, but taste-wise it didn’t live up to what I wanted.

When you are downloading SWF files, you have a possibility to preview all external resources used by the SWF animation. That's it! It supports even downloading streaming videos broadcasted over RTMP and videos embedded via HTML5. All you need to do to have a video on your hard drive is to enter a URL to the video, select preferable video format and resolution and press Download button. This essential video downloader for Mac allows you to save videos from such services as Vimeo, DailyMotion, Metacafe and many more. It is certainly worth the paid upgrade.With Elmedia Player PRO downloading online videos was never easier. Įlmedia Player PRO is certainly not as picky as QuickTime Player when it comes to compatible formats its features allow for enhanced playback and downloading from the Internet. Another thing they could add to Elmedia is a way to control playback frame-by-frame from the keyboard.Įlmedia PRO is available for download from Eltima Official website. It did not work well for me, although it might have to do with incorrect settings on my hardware. PRO version claims to give you control over audio playback, you only need to specify the default output and the number of playback channels. However they can’t be used for GIF files. You can turn the entire video or a movie into a series of screenshots specify the interval at which the sсreens are to be taken – from 0.1 to 10 seconds. The default format is specified in Preferences > Capture. It is really easy – use Movie menu or Control-Command-S shortcut and choose in what format you would like to save the image – TIFF, PNG, GIF. You are also given an option to choose the format of download.Įlmedia PRO allows capturing screenshots during playback. You can choose to download certain elements of a video, RTMP stream or a soundtrack in MP3 format or ‘Download All’. All popular web sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and Facebook are supported. With the craze of downloading videos from the Internet, you would be happy to know that Elmedia PRO enables you to do that. Mac users will certainly appreciate just the right set of features offered by the app – no more, no less – complemented by a clean uncluttered interface. It also enables you to change the layout of images, mirror, flip, rotate them, change their aspect ratio and fit video into the screen. Thanks to hardware acceleration the app provides you with smooth playback of large HD videos. Work on your videos by adjusting parameters such as brightness, saturation, contrast, etc., shape your sound with the help of 10-band graphic equalizer. It also enables you to work with playlists – you can compile, manage and delete them at your convenience. you can surf Internet without bringing up a separate browser window. The latter has menus, although they aren’t free of bugs. The most important thing you get for free is a wide range of formats supported -FLV, SWF, WAV, DIVX, DAT, etc., as well as ability to open DVD VIDEO-TS folders. For this review I worked with the paid edition, but the UI and navigation are pretty much the same for both. More advanced features such as downloading videos from YouTube, controlling audio playback or taking snapshots from a video are available to you for a reasonable fee. The free edition supports almost all of them – commonly used, as well as more exotic ones. The one you get for free should suffice if the only thing you are interested in is no fuss about formats. If you think it would, Elmedia Player by Eltima Software should be your first pick. Wouldn’t it be better to find another solution to do the job? A tool that supports a wider range of formats and perhaps has extra features to enhance your viewing experience. Searching, downloading and installing third party codecs or plug-ins to enable the app to playback the media requires quite a bit of your time, and the worst thing is that there is no guarantee it will actually work. However playing back a video or audio of non-native formats such as AVI, WMV with the help of QuickTime Player is not a straightforward task, so be prepared for a bit of extra work here. QuickTime Player is free and does a fairly good job when it comes to handling media in the formats preferred by Apple. |
