We get sun in the morning when the sun rises and mid day when it’s nearly directly overhead. For reference, the majority of the day our cabin is in the shade because it’s in the woods and it’s on the west side of the lake. I want the green undertones to lean to to the cooler side, but I don’t want them to be too teal – I kinda just want them to skirt the line between warm and cool. I want it to be a chameleon, but I don’t want it change into a super saturated gem-y kelly green in the sunlight. ![]() Imagine sitting out by the fire and looking at the cabin, and all of a sudden the cabin you thought was black is really green because you just happened to catch in the right light at the right time of day – that’s what I want. What I want is a black or nearly black color that looks green in the sunlight, and like a dark muted black or nearly black in the shade. It’s not one of those things that you can just re-do, so yeah, I tend to overthink it. I feel like I know exactly what I want, but choosing the color is so tricky because paint changes, and it costs a crap ton of money to paint a building. Choosing exterior paint colors is always tricky, isn’t it? I’m lucky that I don’t have to worry about any trim with this cabin, or then you’d really be in for a long post. Team! You really came out with some good comments, so much so that I felt like I needed to round out this post. What do you think? I think an update could be good for this old place. We’ll also be adding a new patio set to the deck which will really start to make it feel like a cohesive outdoor/indoor space in the summertime.Ĭheck out my mock up and compare our current and future cabin. No matter what color I choose for the cabin, I know that I want a solid stain grey with a red undertone to it to compliment the dark green siding and tie-in the reddish roof shingles – which I am in no rush to change. I am already thinking I might be kinda crazy but it’s going to be a really big job, but I already started sanding and am feeling pretty committed to the process at this point. I am also planning on sanding and staining the multi-level deck. I worry that it will read more blue than green as it does have some cooler undertones to it. This is the color that I am leaning towards but I do have some concerns. This color is super pretty, and I would totally consider it iiiiiffffffff I didn’t want something that was more black. Does that make sense? I do like it, and have not fully counted it out yet. So, I really like this but I am concerned that it will read as green first and black second, and I want a color that reads as green, but then also black. I’m considering a few different paint colors. Super stoked about the entire vibe we are getting from this company. Then he will prime and paint two coats of the BM Aura. He is going to be using Benjamin Moore Aura exterior paint, but before he even touches a paint can, he’s going to sand, caulk and repair some of the mildew-y areas on the siding. After reaching out to multiple painters in the area and being rejected over and over, we were able to find a really capable painter and we are on his calendar for early June!! He was very knowledgeable and thorough, and I’m feeling like the cabin will be in good hands. If you want to pick up a trade in the north woods, you’ll be in high demand if you’re a painter. ![]() Have I mentioned that WestWisco house painters are rare and elusive, and usually have their calendars pushed out an entire year? I had no idea. I really wanted to continue with the repetition of green hues, and find a deep black with a green undertone – or should I say, find a dark green that is nearly black. Green has become such a theme for us at the cabin, it’s become the common thread that pulls the whole place together. It’s so simple and basic, but also sophisticated and kinda epic, I wanted that for our cabin but with a green twist. There is something so striking about seeing a dark cabin next to a back drop of lush green trees and evergreens. It needed to be freshened up, and for us it was the perfect opportunity to take it to a darker place. I like the grey-green color that the board and batten is stained now, but it has already faded in the two summers we have been here. Since the day we looked at it, we talked about eventually painting it black. I’ve got big plans, and at the top of the list is a new paint job. I want to spend a good chunk of the summer focused on updating the exterior of our Wisconsin cabin.

The following link is an example of a URL containing characters the server won’t be able to process, hence a 400 Bad Request error is triggered. The strcontains () function is very similar. If the substring mentioned will be present in the string then it will return True otherwise it will return False. The strcontains () function search for the substring in the given string within the expression. This is surprisingly easy to do by mistake and can happen if a URL has been encoding incorrectly. The strcontains () is a predefined function that is introduced with the release of PHP 8.

I meant your code considers '0' to be a non-empty string, just like any other string. I didn't test my approach with multibyte characters, but that would be another valid concern if you may encounter unicode characters.Ī regex, multibyte safe approach might look like: ( Demo) $result = null If your definition of a "word" differs from how str_word_count() defines words, then you may need to pass a third parameter to the function or refactor the algorithm entirely. The above assumes that you want to match whole "words". That means, that anything that doesn't belong to unreserved characters set is. If all of them are present then the method isValid(String password) returns true. Firstly the length of the password has to be checked then whether it contains uppercase, lowercase, digits and special characters. There is also a set of characters called unreserved characters alphanumerics and -. This method accepts a CharSequence as an argument and returns true if the argument is present in a string otherwise returns false. $array = array_intersect($array, str_word_count(strtolower($string), 1)) There are reserved characters, that have a reserved meanings, those are delimiters :/ and subdelimiters &' ()+.

To isolate the "words" in the string as an array, you can use str_word_count() with a 1 flag to return words instead of word counts. When it is time to process the "haystack" string, convert all of its characters to lowercase with strtolower(). To prevent needing to perform case-insensitive matching, stabilize your lookup array of "needles" by declaring all words to lowercase. ![]() If you don’t know what these libraries are for, you probably don’t need them in which case, feel free to not install them. If I find out otherwise, I’ll revise this update. ![]() As far as I can tell, the paths to these libraries are configured during the building of the software package and there doesn’t seem to be a feasible way to change these paths without rebuilding the software. UPDATE: If you need Tck/Tk and/or Texinfo support, it seems that you must install those options with this R installation software. ![]() When you get to the Installation Type make sure you select Customize. Kick off the installation process by opening the package you just downloaded. If you want to access R from a terminal session instead of the R GUI, stay tuned this will be covered too. If you will be using R Studio (highly recommended), you won’t use R GUI very much. R GUI is a terminal-like environment created specifically for R. This is why you need to install this version of R in order to make use of pre-built packages. This will be installed in /Library/Frameworks where pre-built binaries will look for it, if needed. It will be named something similar to R-3.6.0.pkg according to the latest version available. In the main section, select Download R for (Mac) OS X.From the menu on the left panel, select Mirrors.Even though the macOS Command Line Tools from Apple includes an LLVM compiler, there is still no support for OpenMP, so we’ll need to install our own version (via brew). You may still need to build from source from time to time, so I’ll also cover how to set up LLVM and GNU Fortran with OpenMP support. If you use a version of R that was built by CRAN, it will be able to download and install the pre-built binaries “out of the box” without having to build them from source. Packages hosted on CRAN include pre-built binary packages targeted for Windows and macOS. CRAN (Comprehensive R Archive Network) is the main repository for R packages from which you will install most of the packages you need. R is built from C, Fortran and recursively from R source code itself. If you’re building from source and require optimal performance, you’ll have to spend some time profiling your builds to ensure they are getting built optimally. Moreover, unless you know what you’re doing, you’ll likely not build the package correctly for optimal speed and performance. Even if you force the R package installer to install the binary package instead of building it from source, these binary packages may expect R itself to be installed in a specific location and won’t work if they can’t find and link to the R framework. Installing R packages from source can take a long time and there’s usually no advantage to doing so. This is probably the wrong choice for most people as this could prevent R from using pre-built binaries when installing packages. If you’re already a brew fan and have had to install R, you most like did so with brew install r. In this post, I’ll be using brew – partially. On macOS, the two most popular ones are MacPorts and Homebrew (a.k.a. They usually make finding and installing software a cinch. If you’re not careful how you install R on macOS, when you try to install R packages, R may try to build those packages from source. It shows how to get R, the R App and R Studio to all use the same R packages, as well as how to ensure installation of pre-built binary packages from CRAN when possible, or to otherwise build from C/C++, and Fortran source with OpenMP support. This guide is intended to be a complete guide to setting up R (free desktop version) on a clean macOS Catalina installation. Setting up R on macOS 10.15 Catalina (Complete Guide) The term CRISPR-Cas9 refers to a Cas variety being used to cut animal (including human) DNA. While there are other Cas enzymes derived from bacteria that cut out viruses when they attack bacteria, Cas9 is the best enzyme at doing this in animals. This means that the next time the virus attacks, the bacteria will remember it and send RNA and Cas to locate and destroy the virus. To recap: in nature, when a virus invades bacteria, its unique DNA is integrated into a CRISPR sequence in the bacterial genome. The significance of these Cas enzymes is their ability to act as “molecular scissors” that can cut into DNA. Once activated, these genes make special enzymes that seem to have co-evolved with CRISPR. This viral DNA ends up as the spacers in the CRISPR sequence. This method then gives the bacteria protection or immunity when a specific virus tries to attack again.Īccompanying CRISPR are genes that are always located nearby, called Cas ( CRISPR- associated) genes. They do this by incorporating the virus’ DNA into their own bacterial genome. Essentially, it is a series of short repeating DNA sequences with “spacers” sitting in between them.īacteria use these genetic sequences to “remember” each specific virus that attacks them. The acronym “ CRISPR ” stands for C lustered R egularly I nterspaced S hort P alindromic R epeats. It’s also used by organisms in the Archaea kingdom (single-celled microorganisms). TABLE OF CONTENTSĬRISPR is a defining feature of the bacterial genetic code and its immune system, functioning as a defense system that bacteria use to protect themselves against attacks from viruses. In this explainer, we dive into CRISPR, from a simple explanation of what it is to its applications, limitations, and future. But society and industry can’t have this conversation without understanding the basics of CRISPR. But, as with any new technology, it may also cause unintended problems.Ĭhanging DNA - the code of life - will inevitably come with a host of far-reaching consequences. Recent reports even examine its use as a highly efficient disease diagnostics tool. CRISPR could revolutionize how we tackle some of the world’s biggest problems, including cancer, food shortages, and organ transplant needs. ![]() Saldana’s request basically said the same thing although a bit more forcefully, but he also added: "This is our corporate listing and it must be reinstated ASAP!"

![]() To be fair, it doesn’t see itself as padding. Oh the rays of sunshine and woodland creatures that spring from my withered shell of a heart when I type that. Let me repeat that: Beach Bounce Episode 2 is the full game’s padding. However, the fact that this game is still $15.99 on Steam is an insult to common decency and that slap in the face continues with Episode 2 that exists for no other reason than to pad the length of the game. Luckily, that plan seems to have gotten the boot as the negative reaction to the first episode of Beach Bounce froze the price in place for now. It is worth noting here that Beach Bounce was not intended to be a trilogy and with all of the grace of a hammered Canadian lumberjack (I’m not sure why the lumberjack is Canadian either) was split into three parts in an absolutely insane plot to slowly raise the overall price of the game in order to force as many people as possible to buy immediately instead of waiting for the full game to be released. ![]() Therefore, I’m going to lay the typical review structure on the table and we’re just going to focus on the ‘story’ and character development Episode 2 tries to hit us with. I need to clear out my AJT review backlog and this was the easiest stop to make first based solely on the sheer lack of content. Luckily for me, this won’t be a typical review. ![]() Wait it has? Does that mean I can avoid this review? No? And if the plans for this particular group of studios hold, just like with Winged Cloud before them, AJT/Dharker will be centering their plans on the unshakable waifu rock that surely hasn’t worn out its welcome in anime and manga by now. However, like avoiding the doctor because you don’t want that strange lump in your chest to be examined, nothing good comes from ignoring bad games or what is often used as shields in their defense. There have been some interesting EVNs in 2015. If I’m starting to sound cynical, it isn’t intentional. Therefore, it’s fine for many, which means the low bar has been hit and anime girls again win the day. The fact that none of these traits are earned on their own as independent and well-written characters is meaningless because they fit into a stereotype where, at one point, it was done well. However, that argument has to go up against how ‘soft-spoken’ and ‘cute’ Mineko is, how ‘fun’ and ‘adventurous’ Sakura and Aiko are and how ‘smart’ and ‘beautiful’ Yuuki is. I could easily spend another three thousand words chronicling the shallowness and vapidity of their catalog of work so far. It ties into a much deeper thought process I’ve been having about the economy of low expectations and the work of AJ Tilley’s development group is contesting Winged Cloud for the throne of that particular market. No not ‘boobs’ or hentai: just anime girls overall. God, remember when Lexington Alexander and Nowhere Safe was as far as I thought this medium could fall? Those were good times, but times that were not meant to last thanks to a force I, admittedly, have underestimated: waifus.

Violets and their color became a special code used by lesbians and bisexual women. Īnimals that lovers gave as gifts to their beloved also became symbols of pederastic love, such as hares, roosters, deer, felines and oxen, as a metaphor for sexual pursuits. Roses are a symbol of pederasty in ancient Greece: handsome boys were metaphorically called roses by their male admirers in homoerotic poems such as those by Solon, Straton, Meleager, Rhianus, and Philostratos. Eros was responsible for the first rose to sprout on Earth, followed by every flower and herb. The rose is also the sacred flower of Eros, the Greek god of love and sex, and patron of love between men. Since the 2000s, bara has been used by non-Japanese audience as an umbrella term to describe a wide variety of Japanese and non-Japanese gay media featuring love and sex between masculine men. The use of the rose as a prominent symbol of love between males is supposedly derived from the Greek myth of King Laius having affairs with boys under rose trees. "rose tribe") in 1971, the first commercially produced gay magazine in Asia. : 40 Beginning in the 1960s, the term was reappropriated by Japanese gay media: notably with the 1961 anthology Ba-ra-kei: Ordeal by Roses, a collection of semi-nude photographs of homosexual writer Yukio Mishima by photographer Eikoh Hosoe, : 34 and later with Barazoku ( 薔薇族, lit. The term bara ( 薔薇), " rose" in Japanese, has historically been used in Japan as a pejorative for men who love men, roughly equivalent to the English language term " pansy". Roses have been associated with male love in both ancient Greece and modern Japan. ![]() According to some interpretations, American poet Walt Whitman used the sweet flag plant to represent homoerotic male love because of its phallic connotations. In 19th-century England, green indicated homosexual affiliations, as popularized by gay author Oscar Wilde, who often wore a green carnation on his lapel. See also: Language of flowers Green carnation Sweet flag plant The gay rights organization Lambda Legal and the American Lambda Literary Foundation derive their names from this symbol. The lambda became associated with Gay Liberation, and in December 1974, it was officially declared the international symbol for gay and lesbian rights by the International Gay Rights Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland. The alliance's literature states that Doerr chose the symbol specifically for its denotative meaning in the context of chemistry and physics: "a complete exchange of energy–that moment or span of time witness to absolute activity". In 1970, graphic designer Tom Doerr selected the lower-case Greek letter lambda (λ) to be the symbol of the New York chapter of the Gay Activists Alliance. The combined male-female symbol (⚦) is used to represent androgyne or transgender people and when additionally combined with the female (♀) and male (♂) symbols (⚧) it indicates gender inclusivity, though it is also used as a transgender symbol. These symbols first appeared in the 1970s. Two interlocking female symbols (⚢) represent a lesbian or the lesbian community, and two interlocking male symbols (⚣) a gay male or the gay male community. Following Linnaeus, biologists use the planetary symbol for Venus to represent the female sex, and the planetary symbol for Mars to represent the male sex. ![]() The female and male gender symbols are derived from the astronomical symbols for the planets Venus and Mars respectively.
