![]() ![]() Shelf Stable Proteins When stockpiling shelf-stable protein for emergencies I suggest storing some full meals such as hardy canned soups, stews, and pasta meals in addition to individual ingredients like canned tuna and beans. I put most of it in a drink container until I open a bag, so I can quickly pour out the amount that I need. Let’s examine the list of shelf-stable foods to stockpile for emergencies. I make the purchase based on the size and price of the kit. Stock up on water for drinking and cooking purposes. This rice brand can be found in most stores but it’s not particularly unique to be honest. Items like coffee, chocolate, fruit juices, and spices will help to tide you over the hard times without feeling too deprived. You can buy brown rice and it’s safer but I prefer old white rice daily because it has a much longer shelf life. ![]() In my house we eat it a lot, and we do it at least once a week. It’s a buy of 5 lb ($4.48 – at Walmart) or greater. One of the main reasons it has been, over the years, a defacto food is based on its ability to store so well. You can make a lot of different dishes with pasta, from Italian food to casseroles. If you think about it whole continents eat rice in mass. Here is my list of foods that you should stockpile to get your family through a crisis: Pasta High carbohydrates and stores extremely well. Management Ensure HHS prioritization of Strategic National Stockpile. Rice is perhaps the most eaten of all foods in the world. Provide information that is specific and unique to federal food and agriculture. These may not be the best dry storage products, they may not have the longest shelf life, but in my opinion they carry your stockpile with consistency, storage capability and flavor. Flower will last only 8 years in a can and carrots will last. Canned Goods Fruit, veggies, soups, stews, beans, whatever floats your boat Canned goods are essential to stockpiling and shelf cooking Dry Goods Rice, beans, rolled oats, flax seeds, and chia seeds are all shelf cooking must-haves. Dried pasta, sugar, rice (white), grains, potato flakes, oats in cans. That said I’ll be profiling two of my favorite storage foods. We suggest keeping canned chicken, tuna, salmon, and ham on hand. ![]() If you follow the diversification path, you’ll have a more systematic approach to prepping. It is something that I have supported for years. I think that diversification is well practiced in food storage, defense, weapons and income. To add a lot of positive ideas to our stockpile/pantry, we will all be having. I think we should list all the foods we like to store (price, quantity, shelf-life, flavor). ![]()

![]() ![]() We had a great interview with David Leaf where Maurice says, “I’m the peacemaker.” That showed how he fit into the brothers, so it was important to have them not only talk about the songwriting and and the music, but also about being brothers. It was important for me to introduce each brother and how they fit into the group. Maurice and Robin, and even Andy, would have had different memories and different perceptions of what went on on. As he says at the beginning, these are just his memories and his perceptions. It was important to Barry that we include all of the brothers personalities and not just his. If it didn’t move the story forward with one of those two things I said, “OK, we don’t need that.” Did you find it challenging to tell both the narrative of the band and each brother individually? The main theme was about songwriting and family. I couldn’t include everything, but we had the heart of the story. Actually, there’s probably a five-part series there because they had so many ups and downs in their career. That’s one of the hard things to do - decide what to keep in or not. How do you decide what parts of their life to include and which to omit? I knew a lot about “Saturday Night Fever,” but I didn’t really know about the early days - how they grew up and where they grew up and how they became singers together and that whole family dynamic that started actually in Brisbane, Australia, where they had a dream about being a musical group. How much did you know about the Bee Gees before you began your research? The more I talked to him, the more amazing I found the story of the Bee Gees to be. And he understood that I had a music sense to things. We were both born in September of 1946 so we had a lot of things in common. I really mostly talked about being the older brother, and amazingly enough we’re only 12 days apart in age. It all came together, being in the right place and the right time. We met in Steve’s office there at Capitol Records. I said, “I love the Bee Gees, what about them?” He said, “Let’s see if we can make it happen.” A couple of weeks later, Barry Gibb had come out to attend the Grammys, were honoring him and the Bee Gees. They were looking to reinvigorate some catalogs, and they just had bought the Bee Gees catalog. We started talking about artists that they had. When I went to visit Steve Barnett, who was the CEO of Capitol Records, about four years ago, I was telling stories about being in the building. My dad was a guitar player-composer-arrange r and he worked at Capitol Records. ![]() What specifically drew you to the story of the Bee Gees and made you want to direct this documentary? Following the documentary’s release, Marshall discusses why he wanted to step behind the camera and what he hopes audiences take from the Bee Gee’s story. Marshall has produced dozens of popular films over the years - a list that includes “Raiders of the Lost Arc,” “The Color Purple” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Back to the Future” and “Jurassic World” - but he’s only ever directed a handful of movies. I wanted to explore how this kind of musical relationship happened.” Though Maurice and Robin died years back, leaving Barry as the only living Gibb brother, Marshall says it was “key” to make sure all three siblings are featured equally in the documentary. “I assume they spent all this time in music school or with vocal coaches,” Marshall told Variety for the “Doc Dreams” series presented by National Geographic. ![]() The documentary incorporates archival concert footage, past interviews and fresh conversations with musicians like Eric Clapton, Noel Gallagher and Nick Jonas to capture several decades - spanning from their first hit with “New York Mining Disaster 1941” to the creation of “Stayin’ Alive” for the record-setting “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack.Īs he delved deeper into the backstory of the Bee Gees, Marshall says he was struck by the effortless musical talents of the brothers. It captures both the creative excitement that propelled them to the top of the charts, as well as the struggles with drugs and fame that nearly derailed them. Marshall’s film, which premiered last month on HBO, follows the humble beginnings of brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb in Australia, as well as their journey to pop superstardom. The payoff? A documentary - “Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” - that chronicles the life and times of one of music’s greatest trios. ![]() It was “Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)” that got stuck in his head the most often. Frank Marshall estimates he spent more than 100 hours listening to Bee Gees music over the past three years. ![]() ![]() You can simply use the method described in documentation and it will provide satisfying results in most situations. Having said that, Darktable tends to offer multiple options to achieve similar result. Using artistic filters, adding text, applying distortion, rendering fractals, and lots of other fun stuff.įrom what I've seen so far, these two programs are fairly comparable. ![]() Combining multiple shots into one – for example HDR (beyond simple cases obviously).Though it might be worth considering available Darktable styles or Lightroom presets first. Using plugins like G’mic or Nik Collection.Large area fixes using Resynthesizer which was later on implemented also in Photoshop as content aware fill/move functions.Here is my list of adjustments I can think of which warrant pixel painting editor: The other reason to use something like Photoshop / GIMP would be when a very accurate masking is required. There seem to be only very specific image manipulations that cannot be handled by raw processing programs these days. I suspect that Lightroom gurus would be able to achieve similar results with Lightroom alone and no Photoshop. So I haven't used GIMP (acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program) at all for the images shown here. It turned out that majority of our Lightroom / Photoshop combo use can be covered by Darktable alone. Darktable & GIMPĪfter coming home from the workshop I tried to reproduce the same results with my usual tools. The practicality of this approach depends on the specific circumstances. Again this could be done in Lightroom to an extent. The price to pay is supposedly memory and computing power used and we didn't even attempt it on our underpowered laptops.Īnother adjustment we did extensively in Photoshop in a destructive fashion was cloning/healing. One could probably get around these by using Photoshop smart objects – including Lightroom result as a smart object would allow for altering both local contrast (clarity) and denoising even later on and having them propagated back into Photoshop file. The adjustment layers I was missing the most were local contrast (I believe Lightroom calls this clarity) and denoising. If you need to venture beyond this list, you end up creating an old-fashioned real layer negating most of the adjustment layers benefits. Adjustments layers in Photoshop seem to be working well but have serious limitations – their list currently includes only fill layers, tonal adjustments, colour adjustments, and a few effects. Allan naturally teaches use of adjustments layers where possible and uses masks extensively, so majority of adjustments become local to parts of the image. Photoshop editing would normally start with the initial layer copy as a backup. Once the image looked like at a decent starting point, we would import it into Photoshop (16 bit per colour channel). We touched on local adjustments but didn't spend much time on them. The suggested workflow was to start in Lightroom and do some basic adjustments there – overall exposure and contrast, crop, noise reduction, etc. And since Allan was always nearby, I could quickly ask where to find specific functions and options I was looking for. Having used Darktable and GIMP extensively I haven't encountered any significant issues with their proprietary counterparts. I would like to take this opportunity for a brief reflection and comparison with my usual tools. Having done the workshop I ended up with a number of processed images, techniques Allan uses to process his landscape photos, and a better understanding about the proprietary software we used. ![]() We did some morning and evening shoots in different locations of Maniototo region, but the bulk of the time we spent processing them. Recently I took the opportunity to have a closer look when I participated in a 4-day long workshop Photoshop and the landscape with our local professional photographer Allan Cox.Īllan kindly let me use his spare notebook with Lightroom and Photoshop installed since I have none of these. I had a fair idea that free-libre photography software compared well to the mainstream proprietary options. ![]() ![]() ![]() With that in mind, we present the results of this year's QBASE 2.0 model, which combines Andrew Healy's original QBASE model (2015) with Jeremy Rosen and Alex Olbrecht's functional mobility model (2018). Therefore, a lot hinges on how teams evaluate this year's draft class. Ultimately, teams looking for a quarterback can either pay a premium for an established commodity, sign a journeyman veteran for a cheaper price (like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers replacing Tom Brady with Baker Mayfield), or spend draft capital on an unknown prospect. With the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts drafting second and fourth respectively, there is a good chance that for the second time in three years, three quarterbacks will go in the top four picks. Subsequently, Darnold's old team, the Carolina Panthers, sent a haul of draft choices plus wide receiver DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears in exchange for the first overall pick. The Raiders then replaced Carr with Jimmy Garoppolo, whom the San Francisco 49ers had replaced with Sam Darnold (while their other young signal-callers, Brock Purdy and Trey Lance, are attempting to return from injuries). The New Orleans Saints got it started by landing Derek Carr, the former face of the Las Vegas Raiders. Yesterday's Aaron Rodgers trade is only the latest domino to fall. Yet even before the draft, the NFL quarterback carousel has already been running at full speed. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis, and it is considerably more exciting than the less inspired class of 2022. This year's NFL draft quarterback class is led by the highly touted Bryce Young, C.J. From clean pockets, a more stable way of measuring quarterback play, Young ranked first and second in PFF passing grade.NFL Draft - By Alex Olbrecht and Jeremy Rosen with Aaron Schatz Pro Football Focus gave him a top-10 passing grade among Power Five quarterbacks while under pressure in 20. His pocket awareness and footwork are second to none. Outside of his underwhelming size (5'10/204), it's impossible to find a glaring flaw in Young's game. Though not much of a runner, Young also punched in seven scores on the ground. He threw for 8,200 yards and 79 scores over the pair of seasons. A two-year starter at Alabama, Young posted video game numbers for the Crimson Tide. Moore and a slew of picks, including their first-round selection next year, to Chicago for the right to eventually draft Bryce Young. Reich did his best to adapt his style to the talent he was working with, though that trick only got him so far.Īfter starting from square one in their coaching ranks, the Panthers opted to do the same at quarterback. Then, as his quarterback talent dwindled post-Luck, he hid the passing game behind a negative pass rate over expected and a pace that ranked no higher than 25th in the league for the next three seasons. In his first season in Indy, his only with Andrew Luck, the Colts logged a four percent pass rate over expected and the fourth-fastest pace in neutral situations. The quarterback debacle cost Reich his job nine weeks into the season.īefore his firing, Reich showed a remarkable ability to tailor his offense to its quarterback. He had no answers for the Matt Ryan problem that was put on his plate and eventually benched Ryan for Sam Ehlinger. The Colts' final foray into retread quarterback territory is ultimately what did Reich in. Heading into 2022, Reich had coached Indianapolis to four winning campaigns including seasons with Carson Wentz and what remained of Philip Rivers a year before retirement. His replacement, Frank Reich, fared far better in a similar situation with the Colts.until he didn't. Though the quarterbacks he worked with didn't give him much room for error, Rhule struggled to make anything of the many different quarterbacks he tried out. Rhule left with an 11-27 record that was marred by bafflingly poor quarterback play. ![]() Panthers GM Scott Fitterer sent head coach Matt Rhule back to the college ranks after giving him two seasons plus five at the helm. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jazz musicians often call it the acoustic bass to distinguish it from electric bass guitars. Other terms for the instrument among classical performers are string bass, bass viol, or simply bass. The name contrabass comes from the instrument's Italian name, contrabbasso. The name also refers to the fact that the sounding pitch of the double bass is an octave below the bass clef. It has also been suggested that the name derives from its viol family heritage, in that it is tuned lower than the standard bass viola da gamba. The instrument's standard English name, double bass may be derived from the size of the double size, since it is approximately twice as large as the cello, or because the double bass was originally used to double the cello part an octave lower. He states that, while the exterior of the double bass may resemble the viola da gamba, the internal construction of the double bass is nearly identical to that of other instruments in the violin family, and is very different from the internal structure of viols.Ī person who plays this instrument is called a bassist, double bassist, double bass player, contrabassist, contrabass player, or simply bass player. In his A New History of the Double Bass, Paul Brun asserts, with many references, that the double bass has origins as the true bass of the violin family. The issue of the instrument's exact lineage is still a matter of some debate, and the supposition that the double bass is a direct descendant of the viola da gamba family is an issue that has not been entirely resolved. The double bass is the only modern bowed string instrument that is tuned in fourths (like viola da gambas), rather than fifths (see Tuning, below). Before these modifications, the design of their shoulders was closer to instruments of the violin family. ![]() Many very old double basses have had their shoulders cut or sloped to aid playing with modern techniques. In addition, while the violin has bulging shoulders, most double basses have shoulders carved with a more acute slope, like members of the viola da gamba family. The double bass' proportions are dissimilar to those of the violin for example, it is deeper (the distance from top to back is proportionally much greater than the violin). The double bass is generally regarded as the only modern descendant of the viola da gamba family of instruments, a family which originated in Europe in the 15th century, and as such it can be described as a "bass viol."īefore the 20th century many double basses had only three strings, in contrast to the five to six strings typical of instruments in the viola da gamba family or the four strings of instruments in the violin family. As with most other string instruments, the double bass is played with a bow (arco) or by plucking the strings ( pizzicato). In addition, it is used in other genres such as jazz, blues, rock and roll, psychobilly, rockabilly, and bluegrass. It is used extensively in Western classical music as a standard member of the string section of symphony orchestras and smaller string ensembles. The double bass is the largest and lowest pitched bowed string instrument used in the modern symphony orchestra. ![]() ![]() ![]()

This is in theory, however in real world conditions, regardless of it’s quality, coolant (antifreeze) should be changed once every 2-5 years (average time after which it loses much of its benefits, unless specifically formulated as ‘lifetime’ on the bottle). ![]() Theoretically it should be good for an indefinite period. How often should the coolant liquid be changed? If foam appears, the cooling system’s efficiency might be reduced) (Coolant has special additives in it that prevents foam from forming. (Prevents limestone deposits and others similar to it which could reduce the cooling system’s efficiency) (The fluid will not attack the metals it comes in contact with and it won’t destroy it over time) However, besides these well known benefits, there are also others worth mentioning: Also protects the engine from freezing during winter. Has the role of helping the engine to cool in the summer time (it keeps the engine from boiling over). Coolant in the summer time works as an anti-boil and protects the system components from corrosion, which is a big deal especially with aluminum components. It lowers the freeze point of the coolant to protect it from freezing, even in the worst winter conditions. This is the reason coolant is mixed with distilled water in a minimum 50/50 proportion. ![]() Also in wintertime, water solidifies (freezes) and expands in volume which can crack your engine block, radiator and heater cores. In the summer time, cooling can be obtained using plain water in an emergency situation although not recommended much beyond this since it’s much easier to boil over as well. If an engine is used without coolant (antifreeze), it can suffer extended damage especially during winter. Not many know the importance of the different colors that are available today. “The coolant is one of those fluids that everyone ignores and ends up being forgotten and used for years and years in the car’s cooling system. ![]() ![]() Download the latest drivers for your Face2Face ROBO K20 Webcam to keep your Computer up-to-date.
