![]() The new antiviral drugs that will revolutionise the treatment of Covid-19 and save lives attracted a burst of positive headlines then faded from the news. We are eyeing up Europe, desperately wondering whether we are ahead of their curve or behind it. ![]() You can see it in the panic that now, even with 80 per cent of adults double-vaxxed and a booster programme under way, there might be another one: in the fact that trends for the search term “ lockdown Christmas” have gone up by 300 per cent in the past week, and the attempt to make the Prime Minister rule out cancelling Christmas for a second year in a row. We won’t know the full picture for decades.īut I think deep down, most of us sense how traumatic the lockdowns have been. Some people will bounce back, others will be left with lifelong mental health conditions. It’s a mix of short-term shock and long-term emotional deterioration, combined with anxiety, loneliness and unspeakable amounts of grief. The psychological impact is much, much harder to measure. ![]() Or else we look at the economic indicators – jobs lost, businesses folded, the hit to GDP. We look at the death toll – 166,730, at the time of writing. Whenever we look back at the pandemic so far, the story is told in terms of data points: cases, hospitalisations, fatalities, vaccines delivered, comparisons to other countries.

The third, which consumed the first quarter of this year as the vaccine rollout got under way, felt the longest. ![]() The first time around – when the world as we knew it shut down overnight to be replaced by empty roads and police patrolling parks – was the most dramatic and destabilising. The desperation for any kind of break from my artificially lit sitting-room-turned-office is reflected in the photos I took: of cold, wet walks in the dying sunlight, of the fox that lives on our street looking suspicious, of the rainy view from my window out over empty railway tracks.Įveryone has their lockdown stories. The pubs and restaurants closed and the stay-at-home orders returned just as the clocks went back, depriving people of that precious hour of after-work daylight. Maybe it was my chronic anxiety or maybe the signs – transmission rates, NHS pressures, the dysfunctional rhetoric coming out of Downing Street – were obvious, but it seemed inevitable to me that Christmas would not, in fact, be saved. We were halfway through the four-week “circuit breaker” lockdown that Boris Johnson had imposed to “save Christmas”. I remember because of my iPhone’s insistence on showing me my “memories”, taking me back to those damp, dark days in November 2020 when all the joy and light in the world was ebbing away. This time last year, I was losing my mind.

![]() Furthermore, grey is a neutral color that is easy to coordinate with other existing elements in the home, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer to seamlessly blend together existing decor. Grey windows have been a popular choice for decades because they add a classic and sophisticated touch to any room. However, if you prefer a more subtle look, you could consider Anthracite Grey windows. Putting red and orange together in your window display will draw the eye of passers-by, and they will naturally notice it. The Power Of Red & Orange For Eye-catching Window DisplaysĬreating eye-catching window displays that stand out from the crowd is the key to attracting customers. The most popular window grill colors are yellow, maroon, black, golden, and green. What Is The Best Color For Window Grills? By painting your plastic and window grids, you can give them a new look and ensure they last for many years. The advantage of this method is that you can change the color of your window in the future. If you have a paintable window material like fiberglass, such as a window grid, you can also paint the grids. Before painting, prime the surface before using these special paints, if you are not already using them. Paints such as Krylon Fusion for Plastic, Valspar® Plastic Spray Paint, and Rust-Oleum Specialty Paint For Plastic Spray are available for painting plastic. Paint A New Look For Plastic And Window Grids If your window grids are inside the window panes (between the glass panes), you should not try to reach them. Depending on the type of grid, you may be able to paint it. Many doors and windows (both plastic and vinyl) can be painted in plastic and vinyl grids without much effort. Your barbecue grill should look brand new in no time if it is properly cared for and maintained. If you want to use the grill after applying the paint, you should wait 24 hours before doing so after applying the paint, allow it to dry thoroughly. There are several types of oil paints on the market for metal surfaces, allowing you to select one that works best for you. In order for the metal finish to last as long as possible, it must be painted with the best quality paint. With these paints, the finish on metal surfaces can be tailored to meet the needs of the environment while remaining weather-resistant. If your BBQ grill lid needs to be painted, you should use oil-based paints. Detailed working drawings are provided after the design in order to allow for the dimensions of the members (columns, beams, foundations, and so on), as well as their reinforcement details. In order to complete the design, we first analyze the structure and then work our way through the details of the members of the RCC with the help of computer software. A structural engineer creates any structure, whether it is a boundary wall or a bridge across a river. I plan to use columns of 18 inches x 12 inches and 4 No. I want to construct a shed 80 feet wide, 180 feet long, and 20 feet high. I want your advice on what kind of roof I should have when I want to expand my house. What’s the correct procedure for painting steel door, gate, and window panels? Steel windows and grills should be painted with synthetic paint. The same steps can be used to finish the interior of your windows or patio doors if they are stained or natural. Some grilles allow for different exterior and interior finishes (painting on the outside surface and staining on the inside surface). To align the elements horizontally, try the following code, which specifies legend.direction: (also note the effect of legend.position = 'bottom') plot + theme(legend.position = "bottom", legend.background = element_rect(color = "black",įill = "grey90", size = 1, linetype = "solid"), legend.direction = "horizontal")įor more options, type ?ggplot2::theme in the R console. To change the background of the legend, you can use legend.background option: plot + theme(legend.position = c(0.9, 0.2), legend.background = element_rect(color = "black",įill = "grey90", size = 1, linetype = "solid")) The bottom-left corner is (0,0) and the top-right corner is (1,1). The first element in legend.position represents X coordinate and the second one represents Y coordinate in the plot. First, let’s install and load the gridExtra package: Install and load gridExtra package install.packages('gridExtra') library ('gridExtra') Next, we need to create two (or more) plots using the ggplot2 package. To move the legend inside the plot, we use theme in which we specify legend.position: plot + theme(legend.position = c(0.9, 0.2)) Alternatively to the patchwork package, we can also use the gridExtra package to draw a grid of ggplot2 plots with a shared legend. So if you use color, shape or alpha, a legend will be available. plot = ggplot(data = dat) + geom_point(aes(x = gdpPercap, y = lifeExp, color = continent)) By default, ggplot2 will automatically build a legend on your chart as soon as a shape feature is mapped to a variable in aes() part of the ggplot() call. I want to add an legend, but I can figure out how to do this This is my code, first I generate a dataframe (MIN, MEAN, MAX) with the while loop, then I Try to plot it, but I want a legend that says blue is min, orange is mean and red is max. # $ continent: Factor w/ 4 levels "Africa","Americas".: 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3. I am making a plot in Shiny, based in 3 columns of my dataset. # $ country : Factor w/ 140 levels "Afghanistan".: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1. I use Gapminder data without Oceania here: dat <- lim("")ĭat = droplevels(subset(dat, continent != "Oceania")) Use iris dataframe as example and create new column for horizontal lines data <- iris > groupby.It still works, but I think the behavior has changed slightly. ![]() ![]() However, using the size aesthetic for lines was deprecated in ggplot2 version 3.4.0. A simple example on ggplot2 legend options A simple example on ggplot2 legend options From what I can tell, this is how people have been adding regression lines to their plots. ![]() As noted by Russian state media in 2021, nuclear fuel in the submarine’s reactor will likely run out in 3-to 4 years, at which point the decision about whether to make the costly investment in restarting the reactor or to finally retire the ship will need to be made. The Russian Navy could be forced to make a difficult decision on the fate of the Dmitry Donskoi sooner than it may like. Typhoon-class submarine The Typhoon class, Soviet designation Project 941 Akula ( Russian:, meaning 'shark', NATO reporting name Typhoon ), was a class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines designed and built by the Soviet Union for the Soviet Navy. ![]() It is a distinct possibility that the final Dmitry Donskoi could see significantly more service time in the future if its Borei successor is delayed. However, this is likely a highly optimistic assessment of Russian procurement trends. ![]() Russian state media reported in 2021 that the Dmitry Donskoi would not be retired for at least five years, or at least until a new Borei-A nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine is completed which bears the name Dmitry Donskoi as well. The Typhoon-class’s previous niche in Russia’s nuclear deterrent is now complemented (and increasingly co-opted) by the introduction of the smaller and more modern Borei-class ballistic missile submarines, the first of which joined the Russian fleet in 2013 after years of construction delays. Such a refit, even of just one of the two decommissioned Typhoons, would undoubtedly be a heavy lift for the Russian defense industry in terms of cost and expertise, but could fit in well with the Russian navy’s future plans to become an agile force capable of protecting Russia’s long Arctic coastline and maintaining Russia’s nuclear deterrent.įor now, the only Typhoon that the Russian Navy has left to work with is the Dmitry Donskoi, which is interestingly also the first of the class to be built. Overwatch 2 retains most of its predecessor's gameplay and content with some changes. Most game modes brought together two teams of six players each into a match who compete in one of several objective-based game types: Control, assault, payload, and hybrid. ![]() Overwatch included casual play modes, competitive ranked play modes, and various arcade modes where special rules applied. Overwatch, now completely replaced by Overwatch 2, primarily was an online team-oriented first-person shooter, and an example of a " hero shooter" where players select from one of several pre-designed hero characters with their own unique abilities. Nine characters reprised their role as playable heroes in the crossover multiplayer online battle arena game, Heroes of the Storm. The game launched with 21 characters, with eleven more added post-release. Blizzard wanted to create a diverse set of characters to reflect a positive outlook on this near future, incorporating non-human characters and non-standard character traits. Overwatch continued to protect the peace until it was disbanded years later under a cloud of suspicion, but its former members have returned to the fore in light of new threats to humanity. The story of Overwatch takes place on Earth in the "near future" in the years after the "Omnic Crisis," a period in which robots (called "omnics") rose up in rebellion worldwide, and the United Nations formed an elite group called Overwatch to combat them. However, as Overwatch 2 had been developed to be a faster game with five-versus-five teams rather than six-versus-six, several of the characters had tweaks or major rebuilds within Overwatch 2, as well as different character designs. The sequel builds upon the same hero roster and added more characters, currently consisting of 38 heroes. Its sequel, Overwatch 2, was released in October 2022 and replaced Overwatch. The original 2016 game, Overwatch, featured 32 playable characters known as heroes and a number of supporting characters as part of the game's narrative, which is told through animated media and digital comics outside of the game. The Overwatch franchise, a series of first-person shooter games developed by Blizzard Entertainment consists of 38 playable characters across both games.

Sunset is distinct from dusk, which is the time at which the sky becomes completely dark, which occurs when the Sun is approximately eighteen degrees below the horizon. dusk sky the Manhattan Bridge during a rainstorm or the Gowanus Canal on a. The ray path of light from the setting Sun is highly distorted near the horizon because of atmospheric refraction, making the sunset appear to occur when the Sun s disk is already about one diameter below the horizon. The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun's disk disappears below the horizon. at an azimuth greater than 180 degrees, as a result of Earth's rotation. In clear weather conditions, it is now becoming difficult to distinguish the sky from land or water, making it impossible for sailors to use the horizon as a reference point when navigating by the stars. ![]() At nautical dusk, the Sun is 12 degrees below the horizon. Sunset or sundown is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the western half of the horizon, i.e. The 3 stages of dusk and evening twilight.

But, no matter what, a marked bit will be worth more than an unmarked one, even if the two are both 100 percent sure to be from the same maker,” the collector said. “Not all bits are marked, and it is possible in some cases to attribute an unmarked bit to a specific maker. One of the most important features of any collectible bit is the maker’s mark. If they have a name on them, they are the ones with value. Impossible for a lay visitor to remember and understand all of the descriptions, names and uniqueness of the collections. ![]() I watch the auctions pretty closely and go to a lot of them – some quite a distance, and attend a number of horse sales annually, too.” Browning commented. Found out what was more valuable, in demand, what I liked, and what I really wanted. ![]() “Then, after I retired, I spend more time at it. I started buying up bits, spurs, saddles about anything to do with cowboys and horses at auctions a long time ago,” Browning reflected. I was always attracted to horse equipment, too. I’ve ridden horses ever since I could get on one. We’ve built everything there is, had some contractors do part of the work, but I’ve helped and had a part in all of the construction,” Browning said. “I was raised on this place, only lived away from here about four years, and we’ve been back about 46 years. Merchandise tins and signs have been collected, are displayed and for sale in Sandy’s Country Store at the Circle B- near Emporia. Her country tins, which deserve and demand further discussion, are displayed in another barnyard building. Sometimes I might not know right where it’s at, but I’ll think where it is, and show it to you when I remember,” Browning contended.Īlmost every piece of “stuff” is identified with a small white tag indicating place, date and additional information of acquisition and merit.įurther indexing of the impressive collections might come, but Browning insists it’d have to be with prodding and cooperation from his wife, Sandy, who has her own collection of different sorts. What good does that do?” Browning wondered. So many collectors have their stuff boxed up so nobody can see it, and they don’t know where it is either. Whatever expected was surpassed as there are literally bits, spurs, saddles everywhere inside the very crowded, yet somehow very-organized 64-foot-by-40-foot red metal-sided structure.

When there are more than 3,000 bits, about 300 pairs of spurs, and nearly 50 saddles on display, that’s a big bunch of stories, lots of reflected memories. “Because, once you get there, he won’t stop until you’ve seen it all,” the warning continued.Įnthusiasm glowed as the-74 year-old cowboy relished stories of every bit, spur, saddle and accompanying Western menagerie explaining almost intimately details of acquisition date, place, person, cost and follow-up research. ![]() “Plan to spend the day” was the warning of his son. Actually, the best description of “the stuff” is a cowboy’s tack “dream come true” or a Western memorabilia-collector’s “Heaven on Earth.” Truly, there’s about every bit, spur and saddle one could imagine, and then some. That’s a misnomer if a cowboy ever said one. “I don’t have much stuff, but someday I’m gonna.” What we don’t: Expensive, a little heavy, and too techy for some. What we like: Easy to access, expandable design, and thoughtful feature set. A final omission is water bottle storage, although it’s not a critical feature for most and does little to dampen our enthusiasm for an otherwise well-rounded and great-looking bag.Ī Close Second (That's Great for Carrying Electronics) 2. Additionally, the interior pockets are a little awkwardly sized, and the lack of external compression straps makes it hard to secure bulkier loads. Further, while overall carrying comfort is good, there are no load-lifter straps to bring the pack closer to your body. ![]() What’s not to like with the Cotopaxi Allpa? While the 35-liter variation here is nicely sized for long weekend trips or shorter getaways abroad, it’s smaller than competitors like the Peak Design Travel Backpack, Osprey Sojourn Porter 46, and many other carry-on-friendly designs below (Cotopaxi does sell a larger 42L version for $220 that still meets most airline requirements). Overall, the Allpa is well made, stylish, and very nicely appointed for travel. And the electronics sleeve is big enough to handle both a laptop and tablet at the same time, which isn’t often the case. We also love the dual access to the main compartment, including a full wraparound zipper and secondary side zip next to the backpanel for easily retrieving items while on the move. In use, we found the Allpa to be remarkably tough and highly water-resistant, and the pack also comes with a stowable rain cover for truly inclement weather. Along with the vibrant styling and multi-colored patterning that the brand is known for, the Allpa is exceptionally durable with a mix of 1,000-denier, TPU-coated polyester and panels of 840-denier ballistic nylon. Cotopaxi’s Allpa 35L Travel Pack checks all those boxes emphatically, earning it our top spot for 2023. When compiling our list of the best travel packs, we prioritized functional organization, easy on-the-go access, durable materials, and carry-on compatibility. ![]() What we don’t: No load lifters, water bottle storage, or exterior compression straps.
