It's when it will be those 'fine details' that make all the difference. It is not the time to 'free-style' or to 'assume' you know what they mean. (especially when instructions or directions are being given). The Weekly Horoscope for Aquarius has a chart energy that requires you to slow down or stop what you are doing and pay very close attention to what others are doin' or sayin'. With this energy, even the challenges we face can turn out to be blessin's in disguise.īetter Days and Higher Love are comin' soon. I 'Spose the point I am tryin' to make is that certain tasks that at first may appear to be a 'pain in the ass' can turn into something extremely awesome. When we were done, she said this one is for you. The darker wood around it was put in at an angle. The bottom drawer was light wood and round. The more of the paint/whatever was on it was removed, we could see what was underneath it. She knew I liked it so she asked me to help her with it. So we got it home and into the garage and started to strip off the old finish. While some healthy self-focus can be in order, you might focus on a matter and make too much of it with the Suns yearly opposition to Pluto in play. The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Virgo, raising the emotional barometer. Someone painted it black and put a big nail through the wood to keep one drawer closed. Todays Virgo Horoscope from Cafe Astrology. As soon as I saw that one cabinet, I knew it was gonna be awesome. Having the van, she'd ask me to go pickup the things she bought. My Mom taught herself to refinish furniture and she would go to garage/rummage sales to find things. The first thing people do when they see it is say 'd-a-m-n'. I have this old cabinet in my dining room. That may sound 'dull' but then again there is nothing like that feeling that when we look back at the things we did and pat ourselves on the back with self-satisfaction of knowing 'that was done with excellence'. pay attention and to get things done right the first time. (Cupido, Pluto, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron and Venus) are tellin' us to slow down. All those retrograde planets all in a row. Not just in the things we have, but just as much in the things that we do. This is one of those times when we're best served when we remain 'in the moment' and focus on 'quality'. And if you are going to make purchases, make sure the item has quality and real true value. So if you are going to bother doing something, then do it to the best of your ability. The focus is definitely on 'quality' right now. Where it is definitely in our best interest to 'remain in the moment' and to make the most of it because the future is determined by what we say and do right here, right now.Īs practical as this energy is, there will also be a lot of focus on the material areas of life too. It has that vibe that 'the devil is in the details'. With Venus, Mercury and Mars clustered near the cusp of Virgo. The idea is not to get too far ahead of ourselves. We have an energy that can sound rather 'dull' on the surface because it entails taking things in a very s-l-o-w and s-t-e-a-d-y pace.

As a result, though for some nodes located in dark areas, the highlighted path is still its local optimal one.įor the fuzzy path, you could either smooth it after you find it or use some smoothed features instead of raw intensity. Since I donot use any prior knowledge to specify what are possible starting and ending nodes, I simply decode w.r.t every possible starting node.įor the fuzzy endings, it is caused by the fact that we are looking for optimal paths for every possible ending nodes. Here is a short demonstration of the above idea. Your solution will be more robust against noise, because as long as noise is equally distributed among all pixels, those optimal paths remain stable. Your results are optimal in the sense of path optimizations Here are some pros of adopting this approach:Īll your results will be continuous ( unlike the threshold method that might break one center line into pieces )Ī lot of freedoms to construct such a graph, you can select different features, and graph topology. Though it is more complicated than the simple binarization-and-then-curvefitting solution, it is more robust in practice.įrom the very high level, we should consider this image as a graph, whereĮach node is connected to some other nodes, known as neighbours, and this connection definition is often referred as to the topology of this graph.Įach node has a weight (feature, cost, energy, or whatever you want to call it ), reflecting the likelihood that this node is in an optimal central-line we are looking for.Īs long as we can model this likelihood, then your problem of finding 'the centerlines of the fringes' becomes to the problem to find local optimal paths on the graph, which can be effectively solved by dynamic programming, e.g. Here is yet an alternative solution to your problem by modelling your question as a 'path optimization problem'. Linkaxes( cell2mat(get(get(0,'Children'),'Children')) )įunction = FitCurveByPolynom(x,y) Props =regionprops(labels,im,'Image','Area','BoundingBox') ImBinary = imclose(imBinary,strel('disk',2)) These are the curves after fitting a polynomial: These are the curves that are found by finding the weighted average per column: I skipped the automatic threshold selection. Here is a Matlab code that shows steps 1,2 and 4. You can also fit a high-level polynomial, though it is worse, in my opinion. Connect the (x,y) points by fitting some kind of curve.Possibly, smooth the y values, to remove noise.For each blob in the binary image (one zebra stripe), for each x, find the weighted center (by pixel intensity) in y direction.Find a threshold to separate the foreground from the background.My impression, by looking at the images, is that the centerlines could be more continuous (more points) and smoother (not quantized) if they were detected directly from the non-thresholded image (either RGB or grayscale), by some statistical sweeping method (some flooding / iterative convolution, whatever).Īny suggestion would be much appreciated! The problem is that, by thresholding and also by taking the mean height of a discrete pixel column, we're having some precision loss and quantization, which is not desired at all. The photo is a PNG (RGB), and former attempts used grayscaling then difference thresholding to get a black-and-white, "zebra-like" photography, from which it was easy to find the midpoint of each pixel column of each fringe. The task is to find the centerlines of the fringes, which represent, mathematically, the 3D curve of intersection between the fringe plane and the subject surface. I'm working in a project where fringes are projected against a subject, and a photo is taken. Your role is to clean the place up so that change can take place. Jarilo-VI and the second planet-a bright, futuristic China with immortality problems-are distinct locations with casts of characters who are capable of handling their planet's problems on their own. While the planet's storyline doesn't end on a radical solution to the problem, it suggests that Star Rail won't have the kind of story where a magical hero fixes everything with her magical powers. It's actually more soft on that aspect than I like, but the missions there spend a lot of time unearthing how the extreme precarity became an excuse for extreme control by the people in power. Star Rail doesn't go full Final Fantasy 7 with its depiction of class disparity and anarchism in Jarilo-VI. But toiling below the city is an entire society of miners keeping the lights on. Heaters line the stone streets and citizens gather around a monument dedicated to the ancient people that made the place habitable. On the surface, the city looks surprisingly prosperous despite being surrounded by a frozen wasteland. You don't spend a long time trekking through the snow before being escorted to the planet's last living city, Belobog. The Trailblazer has one inside her, which makes her uniquely equipped to find out how to stop them. (Jarilo-VI is one of two planets available at launch, but, sort of like Genshin's regions, more will be added over time.) Jarilo-VI was tricked by one of the universe's gods and given a Stellaron, a seed of disaster that helps civilizations prosper before it mutates and curses them for eternity. Once you leave the space station in Star Rail's intro, which acts as the hub for important characters and side quests later on, you're dropped into Jarilo-VI, a frozen planet that shares the same problem as the Trailblazer. She's tired, confused, and doing her best-a truly resonant character for anyone trying to survive what it's like to be alive and online in 2023. My Trailblazer sends emojis and spams question marks to her friends. NPCs periodically send text messages asking for help or just to check in, each an opportunity to personify the Trailblazer in a much more playful and compelling way than the Traveler in Genshin. Star Rail doesn't waste your time, and it plays like a modern RPG-with some free-to-play gacha game caveats.ĭitching the open-world structure established in Genshin lets Star Rail focus on building a meaningful cast of side characters through quests and stray conversations. Here, that stuff is tucked away in text logs and item descriptions. The steady pace of the plot and its surprisingly articulate writing help avoid the misery of having to sit through long stretches of worldbuilding like you're forced to in Genshin. Your main character, the Trailblazer, and her two crewmates travel to different planets and wade into the politics and problems of the locals. Star Rail's cast of anime protagonists fits its elastic tone, which fluctuates from the heroic optimism of a space opera, to the dark comedy of a Nier game, with a lot of Final Fantasy 14's soap opera storytelling mixed in. Furthermore, these drinks will affect your carb intake. “Sugar-sweetened drinks are absorbed into your bloodstream much too quickly, causing a spike in blood glucose levels,” explains Basbaum. Similarly, an earlier study revealed that people who consumed just two sugar-sweetened soda or juice beverages per week had an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, particularly if they’d gained more than 6 pounds over a five-year period. Regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and sweetened bottled tea wreaks havoc on your body in a variety of ways.įor example, a study found that middle-aged adults who drank more than three sugar-sweetened beverages per week had a 46 percent higher risk of developing prediabetes than people who didn’t drink sugary beverages. Don’t Drink Sugar-Sweetened Sodas or Teas They also often lack the blood-sugar-stabilizing protein of cow’s milk. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a cup of 1 percent milk (low-fat milk) also provides 310 milligrams (mg) of calcium, which accounts for about 24 percent of the daily value.īe aware that nondairy milk options, such as almond milk, may have added sweeteners and flavorings. “Skim or low-fat milk is also a good beverage option, but it must be counted toward your carb total for a particular meal or snack,” Basbaum says.Īccording to the U.S. Drink Cow’s Milk, Which Also Provides Protein and Calcium Shake things up with sparkling water or by squeezing lemon or lime juice into your glass. If you often forget to drink as much water as you should, Basbaum has a suggestion for increasing your intake: Drink one 8 ounce (oz) glass of water for every other beverage you drink that contains sugar substitutes or caffeine. Keep an eye on your hydration by checking that the color of your urine is light yellow, Zanini says. In terms of daily fluid intake, the Mayo Clinic says men should aim for approximately 15½ cups, while women should target about 11½ cups. “Water helps dilute your blood, which lowers your blood sugar levels,” Zanini explains. This means that water neither raises nor lowers your blood sugar.ĭrinking water is also a great way to stay hydrated, and staying hydrated will help you regulate your blood sugar. Water is one of the few beverages you can drink without worry throughout the day.

Fortunately, there’s a variety of refreshing, flavorful beverages you can enjoy, says Katherine Basbaum, RD, a registered dietitian at the University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville. If you enjoy swigging bottled drinks, you may be at a loss for how to stay hydrated. If you have type 2 diabetes, this means taking sugary drinks - such as regular soda, sweet tea, and even juice - off the table and replacing them with low-sugar and sugar-free options, including water. The result: a quick spike in blood sugar. “Anything that’s liquid that has carbohydrates will digest faster than something you would have to chew,” says Lori Zanini, RD, CDCES, a registered dietitian who’s based in Los Angeles. In fact, you may be surprised by how much a single drink can affect your blood sugar.ĭrinks with carbohydrates (read: sugar) will affect your blood sugar more readily than zero-carb, zero-sugar drinks like water. When it comes to successfully managing type 2 diabetes, what you drink is just as important as what you eat. Unlike the Ironman project i did (pls check out if you haven't), i wanna color this blade and boost the realism. Add one or two thin bamboo stick or lollipop stick so that paper seems harder.

You probably don't have the same body type as the guy in the photo. The chances are, you overlooked a small but important factor – body type. And after all that effort, you try your new outfit and realize you look nothing like the guy in the picture. You take care to copy the colors and style. You carefully buy the clothes, piece by piece. Sticking to this rule, as well as the others, should ensure that you only wear a vest with your suit when it makes sense.Ever see a picture of an amazing outfit then try to replicate it? The 3-piece suit is ideal for a “formal” dress code where the vest would actually make it clear that you’ve dressed up for the occasion. While it’s true that a suit with a vest would look more formal than a suit without a vest, it still wouldn’t look formal enough for a black-tie dress code.īlack-tie will require a tuxedo – either black or midnight blue. Wear It For “Formal” But Not “Black Tie”Īnother common mistake that people make is to wear a 3-piece suit to a “black tie” event. If it’s casual, adding a random (but complementary) vest may actually be a good idea. To sum that up – if the suit is formal, don’t wear a vest unless it comes with one. You’ve got more versatility here and you could potentially add a completely different vest (in terms of color and fabric) to add a splash of color and interest to the suit. They don’t have as much structure and they generally have a lighter lining. They’re usually made from more rugged fabrics and are less shiny. If you feel as though it may be too much, consider not wearing a vest as it may just be too warm if you plan on remaining layered throughout the event.īut at the same time, consider whether it may be so warm that you’ll be spending a long time with the jacket off in any case. In warmer weather, a vest may be quite uncomfortable as it wraps snugly around your body, especially when worn under a suit jacket. It’s important to consider the weather when deciding whether or not to wear a vest with your suit. Ultimately, vests are usually worn to settings and events which are both formal and social.Īttempts at wearing them to events that don’t fall into this category may be risky.Įxamples where vests would usually be considered acceptable include weddings and formal dinners/dances.įormal and social. Wearing a vest with a suit to a funeral would lead you to stand out from the crowd (in a bad way) and wearing one to an interview may look obnoxious. A 2-piece suit would be more than enough. These are both events where you want to dress formally, but wearing a vest may come across as unusual or a little eccentric. They sometimes fall into the category of work, but not always.Įxamples may include interviews and funerals. There are certain “formal” events that aren’t social. The second step is to make sure that the setting or event is social enough for the vest to make sense. The first step is to make sure the setting or event you’re attending is formal enough for the vest to actually make sense. While it wouldn’t be as formal as a tuxedo or morning dress, a 3-piece suit is still a notch more formal than a simple 2-piece suit. There are some settings where wearing a vest with a suit (i.e a 3-piece suit) would simply be too much. While wearing a double-breasted vest under it wouldn’t be considered “wrong”, it’ll look quite old-fashioned and may also become quite warm. If this is the case, make sure you choose a single-breasted vest to wear under the double-breasted jacket. They want to wear a vest to still look sharp with their jacket off. It’s worth mentioning here that some people may still choose to wear a vest under a double-breasted jacket because they plan on spending a reasonable amount of time with their jacket off. Wearing a vest under a single-breasted jacket would be a simple way to do it. People actually wear a vest under a single-breasted suit jacket in order to make it look more like a double-breasted one.Īs double-breasted jackets are seen as more formal and some may say a little more sophisticated, it’s appealing to try and achieve a similar aesthetic without having to buy one. Vests look a lot better when worn under single-breasted jackets as the top will clearly be visible even with the jacket buttoned. There’s almost no point in wearing one here and so it’s considered a sort of fashion faux pas. The problem with wearing a vest under a double-breasted jacket is that it won’t be visible when the jacket is buttoned. These have one row of buttons to the front, as opposed to double-breasted suit jackets which have a double row of buttons over an overlapping front. In general, vests should only be worn under single-breasted suit jackets. Only Wear Them With Single-Breasted Jackets (Our tester noted that the lids make a good seal but need to be screwed down very tightly to avoid leaks.) All the parts are dishwasher-safe-including the blade, which is a nice bonus that most personal blenders don't offer. The Ninja Fit comes with two 16-ounce cups, each with its own screw-on spout lid. It had no trouble with smoothies, but with just one (high) speed setting, it's not good for making chunky salsa or other chopping tasks. The Ninja Fit couldn't be easier to use: You screw the blades onto the cup and then simply flip it over, place on the base, and push down to blend for as long or short as you want. This mini blender had no trouble powering through greens, ice, and frozen fruit in our tests, but its teensy 16-ounce cups meant that it took two batches to make a full blueberry-kale smoothie. (The Pro 900 comes in many different colors, and some are available at a significant discount, to boot.) This is one of the more expensive personal blender options, but it's powerful and durably built, well worth the extra money if you're going to use it heavily. Our tester didn't have too much trouble, but did find it a bit of a pain to carefully squeeze a sponge into the nooks and crannies beneath the blade itself. The blade assembly is hand wash only, but it comes off the base for fairly simple rinsing and wiping. When it comes to cleaning, the cups, lids, and rings are all dishwasher-safe. It has lots of power for crushing and pureeing, but the Nutribullet Pro 900 only has one speed setting and no real pulse mode, which means it's not great at chopping-our salsa test ended up with more of a smooth puree than a chunky dip. The motor is not meant to run for more than 60 seconds at once, but that was more than enough time to complete each of our tests. The blender couldn't be easier to use you lock a cup into the base, push, and twist. You also get two cup rings, two handled lip rings, two flip-top to-go lids, and a recipe book. This blender comes with two BPA-free 32-ounce blender cups, which are larger than most personal blender cups, but still work just fine with smaller batches, like an individual smoothie or serving of dip. No unpleasant chunks of ingredients wound up in the final product. The results were consistently textured and easy to drink both through a straw and from the side of the cup. It did a great job with pretty much every ingredient we threw at it, making short work of kale, blueberries, dates, frozen banana, and ice. With its 900-watt motor, the NutriBullet Pro 900 is ideal for someone with a small kitchen who makes a lot of soups, sauces, and smoothies. |
