![]() ![]() I really like that review I very much enjoy EDF (though I do prefer 2017 to 2025), but the review captures the irreverent essence of the games very well Cara may not have particularly liked the game herself, but she described it in a way which made it clear (to me, at least) that I would. I love EDF 2025, it's one of my all time favouites and I'm still playing it 7 years later. The only review I can think of that really annoyed me was Eurogamer's EDF 2025 review which was basically the reviewer and whoever okayed it for publication saying "this game is beneath our contempt." My reaction was "Why the FUCK were we playing Contra when we could playing THIS?", even though in retrospect Contra is clearly a different thing than Quake rather than a more primitive version of the same thing, although that said Contra is probably a more accomplished game than the single player mode of Quake. I remember going round to a friends house in the nineties and playing Contra III for ages, at which point the friend suddenly revealed he also had Quake on his PC. Nowadays, they're recognised as being an alternate style of game that's just as valid as doing an open world 3D game, but at the time, when you were faced with something like Ultima Underworld with its vast realtime 3D world that you can climb, swim and fight your way through, deep systemic gameplay, NPC interaction, and actual physics engine, it would be hard not to see that as being obviously better than another 2D platform game. In 1993, 2D games were explicitly the past. ![]() It was like "Does this game show me the future?" And if the answer from the reviewer was no then it had failed.įast forward to the modern day and Edge is still reviewing games inspired by Gunstar Heroes and Super Metroid. They weren't judging them on their own merits. The magazine was finding its feet and was set up to showcase "the future" and there really was a sense that these games were relics. I think Edge's treatment of 2D 16-bit games in its early days is understandable. ![]()

The hat and gloves are also made of the same skin… with spectacles over the eyes” (quoted in Mussap 672-3, his translation and insertions), a description which matches the undated plague mask displayed in Ingolstadt’s German Museum for the History of Medicine (Figure 2).įigure 2: Undated plague doctor mask from Deutsches Medizinhistorisches Museum (Inv. Under the coat we wear boots made in Moroccan leather from the front of the breeches in smooth skins that are attached to said boots, and a short-sleeved blouse in smooth skin, the bottom of which is tucked into the breeches. “The nose half a foot long, shaped like a beak, filled with perfume with only two holes, one on each side near the nostrils, but that can suffice to breathe and carry along with the air one breathes the impression of the enclosed further along in the beak. He described the outfit in the following way: Beliefs in miasma, that disease was spread by noxious-smelling air released by decaying matter or the foul expulsions from dying humans and animals, meant that a prophylactic and protective outfit to separate the doctors and their patients was a logical step.įrenchman Charles de l’Orme (1584-1678), court physician of Louis XIII, is credited with inventing the Plague Doctor’s iconic costume in the early 17 th century in response to the myriad plague epidemics striking Europe. Physician Giovan Agostino Contardo of Genoa wrote of plague in 1576, “prevention is much more noble and necessary than therapy” (Contardo 5). Miasma’s advice via TikTok became endemic in Europe after the shattering Black Death pandemic of 1347-51, leaving subsequent generations to face the invisible foe intermittently. Figure 1: (A) Spring 2020 Fashion Meme referencing Plague Doctor aesthetic (B) Photo series from on Instagram (Madeleine Mant) (C) Dr. The organic appearance of these media demonstrates the Plague Doctor’s powerful juxtapositions: the image is historical yet current, sinister yet welcome, celebrating life yet embodying death. Using props gathered for teaching undergraduate anthropology courses on infectious disease, and being an extrovert trapped in social distancing mode, I myself started a daily photo series featuring a Plague Doctor encouraging creative pursuits and self-care while self-isolating. Miasma reminded a rapt online audience to wash their hands. Folks in beaked masks wandered onto live on-location newscasts. Memes predicting Spring 2020 fashion replete with black capes, canes, and beaked masks flooded social media in March 2020, as the rapidly increasing number of COVID-19 cases made global headlines (Figure 1). Steeped in our current context, the stage was set for the Plague Doctor, that iconic masked medical icon, to make a comeback. Anthropologists have explored the imagery of disease-repelling face masks as “potent symbols of existential risk” (Lynteris 442), while Lasco explains that motivations including “cultural values, perceptions of control, social pressure, civic duty, family concerns, self-expression, beliefs about public institutions, and even politics” might make an individual cover their face. Anxiety over invisible invaders encourages individuals to desire a barrier, to wrest back a feeling of control. The spike in face-mask purchasing and crafting in response to COVID-19 fears is not surprising. The efficacy and culture of masks as personal protective equipment has been investigated for over a century’s worth of diseases, including the 1910-’11 Manchurian plague (Lynteris), influenza (Chuang Cowling), SARS (Sin Syed), tuberculosis (Biscotto), and Ebola (MacIntyre et al.). ![]() Whether manufacturing, stockpiling, MacGyvering, sewing, 3D printing, or debating them, masks are (figuratively, if not literally) on everyone’s lips. ![]() ![]() Madeleine Mant // 2020 is the year of the mask. ![]() ![]() ![]() TheĬlose agreement of AcuSolve results with experimental results validates the ability of AcuSolve to model turbulent flow within pipes.

Meanwhile, the rise is the vertical distance from the roof peak to the base of the roof. The run is the horizontal distance from the middle joist to the building. There are three ways to find the rafter length, as seen in the table below. This slope is also present in flat roofs however, the degree is much lower than in regular roofs. The pitch refers to the roof’s slope from the roof’s peak to the nearest wall. You have to fall back to the basics of Pythagoras theorem to calculate the rafter pitch or length. How Do You Calculate Rafters on a Flat Roof? Usually, it is best to refer to the building code specific to your geographical area to avoid confusion. ![]() They are common because they are more suited to carrying different load weights. The common classes, even for flat roofs, are C16 and C24. There are about 12 different timber classes, and they always have the letter C before the number. The wood species and grade are the two main factors when grouping timber under their respective classes. The acronyms for these grades are GS and SS. The strength grade for each species is either General Structure or Special Structure. ![]() Timber is obtained from different wood species, which include redwood, spruce, whitewood, Douglas fir, and other types of softwood. Roof load is measured in Pounds per Square Foot (PSF). In addition, equipment like elevators and plumbing can contribute to dead weight.ĭead load also covers load caused by winds or snow. This weight refers to ceilings, floors, staircases, pillars, and walls. On the other hand, the dead load refers to the weight that remains stagnant for a long period. The live load can go from as low as 10 pounds per square foot to 70 pounds per square foot. This actual value refers to all anticipated weight throughout the roof’s lifespan. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) recommends that the estimated live load value exceed the actual value. Live load refers to moveable loads that is, the load is not stationary and changes position on the roof.Įxamples of this load are human weight and other equipment. Regarding roofs, there are two main types of loads – live and dead loads. However, you have to pay attention to the type of wood.įor example, the measurement for a southern pine 12-inch 2×4 rafter is 10′-4″ while its redwood counterpart is 9′-4.” #2. However, the roofing engineers can adjust these measurements as they see fit.Ĭonsidering the factors that determine the size of the rafters, it is most common to use 16- or 24-inches sized rafters.Įach rafter size can work with these roof spans. The industry standard for roof rafter span is in four dimensions: 12, 16, 19.2, and 24 inches, respectively. These factors include the building span, the timber grade used to make the rafter, and the load the roof carries. Knowing the size of rafters suitable for your flat roof depends on certain factors. There are four main rafter sizes which are 2×4, 2×6, 2×10, and 2×12. What Size Rafters Should I Use for My Flat Roof? ![]() ![]() For problems getting trainer to work please read below info first.

(12) 16-inch x 12-inch x 12-inch concrete blocks (at approxiately $1.61 each) (See below.) But since I had the extra concrete blocks, I figured it made sense to use all of them and make the bench extra sturdy.ĭIY Wood and Concrete Block Bench Materials The oak boards were much easier to fit into my cart!īefore I settled on using a rectangular base of concrete blocks for the bench, I was planing to have a column of concrete blocks on either side of the bench. So, for my bench, I used two really cheap pre-cut pieces of oak board (from the lumber department at Home Depot) instead. The timbers that Fab Everyday used are very heavy, and I wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to fit them in my car. I got quite a workout from lifting and re-lifting and moving the concrete blocks! Read below for details on how I put my bench together! ![]() (The concrete blocks tipped over when I tried to stand them upright in my space.) So I came up with a new and sturdier configuration for my bench. The area in which I wanted to place my bench is very sloped, so I needed a more sturdy configuration of concrete blocks for my bench. I love the look for Fab Everyday’s bench, but it turns out that their bench didn’t work out in my space. I got the idea for my DIY wood and concrete block bench from Fab Everyday. (Not to mention that the spot underneath the shade tree is a relaxing place to read a book and enjoy a cool drink!) My kids often play with their friends in the front yard and the cul-de-sac, so it would be great to have a shady place to sit when I’m watching them play. See my previous post about my new shade container gardens for all the details on the shade-friendly annuals I used in my new beautiful container gardens! DIY Wood and Concrete Block BenchĪs you can see from my curb appeal design board below, my plans for my front yard curb appeal project include a DIY wood and cinder (also known as concrete) block bench. I adore that place! The nursery recently moved to a location closer to my home, so lucky me! I love how my new container gardens add color to my front yard’s shady garden area. I got all my gorgeous annuals from my local nursery, Corner Copia. So, I’ve decided to place beautiful container gardens in that area. Last week, I shared the details on what I planted in two new container gardens that now sit in that garden space. ![]() For reasons unknown to me, everything planted in that area dies - even the shrubs that the builder planted there before we purchased our home died! (I am wondering what the builder buried under the soil there! LOL - seriously.) This is what the area looked last summer. It’s great to finally be getting that area together! The space is basically an empty garden area to one side of my home’s driveway. Welcome to the third week of the Curb Appeal Blog Hop!

A good setup would be stiff for slow coners, loose for fast corners. Pro tip: Your suspension is used to determine how fast you can go around medium speed corners. More oversteer will give a better acceleration, it’s better for slower corners. Oversteer – Turns your car faster as your rear wheels loose grip, your back end drifts around the corner. More understeer will give better speed, it’s better for fast corners. Understeer – Turns your car slower because your front wheels loose grip and slide around the corner. Personally I always keep the default gap of 10 degrees between the two. Pro tip: You car should always have a higher angle on the rear wing than the front wing.
