You don't have to worry for a number of reasons.įirst, these dates aren't the only ones to watch the sun set between buildings - designer Andrew Hill created an interactive "NYCHenge" map to show all the days and times of the year that opportune sunsets occur. Tyson recommends that you arrive at your viewing spot half an hour before the sun sets on the day of Manhattanhenge.īut this chance astronomical event seems to get more popular with each passing year, given the rise of Instagram, Facebook, and other photo-sharing platforms, so 45 minutes wouldn't hurt. Going to the west side may not set as dramatic a scene, but on short notice it's a better bet, since you're more likely to get an unobstructed view. If you have time to scope out a prime viewing spot along one of these streets, look farther east to get the best cityscape effect, though make sure you find a high point – otherwise, a distant hill or other object may block your view. Beware of 34th and 42nd Streets, however, as they're often the busiest and people go there to get views of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. The best ones are 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, and 57th Streets, partly because they're wider and can accommodate more foot traffic. If you're in New York City on these dates and times, and the skies aren't overcast, a few viewing streets rise above the rest.

Manhattanhenge straddles the summer solstice on June 21 over two pairs of days - one that happens several weeks before the solstice, and the other several weeks after. When to watch a Manhattanhenge sunset in 2018 It's like photography's famous "golden hour" but on steroids, given the crowds of people, competing car and street lights, and dramatic backdrop of buildings with mirror-like panes of glass that reflect colourful sunlight up and down the roads and footpaths.

Unlike Stonehenge, however, Manhattanhenge is a beautiful accident of city planning. The name is a portmanteau of Stonehenge - which prehistoric people likely built to line up with the Sun - and the island of Manhattan.

![]() For example, in iOS and watchOS, the Mail app icon uses a streamlined, graphical style to depict the white envelope on a blue background macOS uses a similar blue background, adding depth and detail to the envelope, giving it a realistic weight and texture. If your app or game runs on more than one platform, use a similar image and color palette for all icons while rendering them in the style that’s appropriate for each platform. Prefer a simple background that puts the emphasis on the primary image - you don’t need to fill the entire icon with content.Ĭreate a design that works well on multiple platforms so that it feels at home on each. Avoid adding too many details, because they can be hard to discern and can make an icon appear muddy, especially at smaller sizes. Find a concept or element that captures the essence of your app or game, make it the focus point of the icon, and express it in a simple, unique way. Simple icons tend to be easier for people to understand and recognize. For guidance on creating other types of icons, see Icons. To download templates that help you create icons for each platform see Apple Design Resources. Each platform defines a slightly different style for app icons, so you want to create a design that adapts well to different shapes and levels of detail while maintaining strong visual consistency and messaging.

Leave the pink to Barbara Cartland. Being "last season" doesn't matter a jot, but it is extremely irritating to be told 10 times a day you are. And if by some miracle you didn't get your coat dirty, you'd still have to get a new one next year to stop all the annoying people coming up to you and banging on about how last season you are. In fact, after just one day the pink coat would probably be a smudgy lilac coat, and after one more day it would be a sludgy grey coat. You know what wouldn't look clean after a bit of rain? A pink coat. Yet my coat still looks grand, 10 years on. ![]() I only wear it a few times a year, but those times tend to be quite windswept and wet, because you know what? It's a coat, which means I wear it when it's cold, and because I live in this country and not Malibu, it is often windy and wet when it's cold. I have an Occasion Coat – I wear it to fancy restaurants and weddings in the winter, and it's the same one I've had for almost a decade. To be honest, a pink coat kind of looks like a nightie, which renders the disguise null.Ĭertainly, there is space in one's life, and sometimes one's cupboard, for an Occasion Coat. A pink coat does not offer that kind of protection. If you run out to the newsagent in the morning for some emergency Marmite and a newspaper, no one will notice that you're still in your pyjamas, because your coat is protecting you. A coat is your armour, something you can slip on and, if you want, render yourself invisible. That's how impractical and girly pink coats are. Even I don't want to wear a pink coat, and I own three feathered alice bands. No female over the age of seven, other than Barbara Cartland, has ever wanted to wear a pink coat every day, if at all. Pink coats are, quite clearly, ridiculous. Even chaps who gasp in horror at shoes that cost more than £50 will unblinkingly pay over £200 for a coat, because a coat is something that needs to be good quality: it needs to be warm, it ideally should be waterproof and it needs to withstand daily wear. Has there ever been a more perfect trend for fashion retailers than a pink coat? Coats are the one type of clothing that everyone accepts should be expensive. Now, this kind of serendipitous synchronicity among designers does nothing to disabuse me of my belief that what we call "trends" are actually "evil plots cooked up by designers who scheme together ahead of time to make similar colours and clothes to convince the public that in order to look up to date we need to buy their wares." And when the trend that season is a pink coat, that pretty much puts the wax seal on my suspicion.Ī pink coat at the Osman show. The reason fashion magazines have been excited over the M&S coat is because various high-end designers all made pink coats this season. This season, it has been the turn of the M&S pink coat to be that garment, which is why that perfectly-nice-but-please-everyone-get-a-grip coat has been featured in every single blinking publication and continues to be so, even though it has long since sold out. Fashion stylists will then burst their buttons with excitement – not from, ew, fatness, obviously – that they can now feature a piece of clothing which is designer-y, while at the same time fulfilling their harassed editor's brief that they have to use at least one garment in the fashion shoot that costs less than a month's rent. Regarding the M&S pink coat specifically, every season some high-street outlet – sometimes Whistles, sometimes Zara, occasionally M&S – will knock out a decent garment that happens to be quite similar to one seen on the runways. ![]() I don't think there has been such an efficient PR job in the fashion world since the time, earlier this year, that various fashion editors started insisting anyone who was still feeling insulted by John Galliano's antisemitic rant should really get over themselves because the poor guy was drunk, bless him, and he's now designing again and that's what really matters, yeah? Whoever was in charge of promoting that coat, stick a fork in yourself because you're done. ![]() OK, so I bumped fenders with the poor decrepit behemoth we were trying to protect and escort, but I swear I had nothing to do with that piece of hull that sheared off! Because destruction looked a bit too imminent, players then began to hook up with the life pods to rescue survivors and transport them to medical attention back at the safety of stations.Īlthough admittedly I'm a first-time pilot for this jaunt into space, and the controls took a bit to get used to (turning to look at something doesn't turn your ship any more than turning your head to look out a window does in a car), I was able to keep up with the group and even avoid getting my own ship destroyed in the process. The first anniversary event transpired on the night of Friday the 20th, calling on players to come assist a damaged ship and keep pirates from blasting it to bits. ![]() Always willing to join the party, Some Assembly Required strapped into a shiny new ship and blasted right into the thick of things in order to share in the festivities. Luckily for those of us without an Android, Vendetta Online celebrated its decennial anniversary with some developer-run in-game events over the weekend. After all, who wants to miss an event just because employment gets in the way? Vendetta Online, of course! Perhaps the longest-running epic space-based sandbox MMORPG, the game hit a milestone last week that few others can boast: It turned 10!Īlthough its major retail distribution was in 2004, Vendetta Online marks its anniversary as the day it was spotlighted in Penny Arcade during the game's completely open and public alpha (which means it basically launched since everyone could dive in and play) and the population exploded! A truly multi-platform MMORPG, Guild Software's game can be played on Windows, Mac, Linux, and even Android, giving pilots the freedom to log in when and where they may, even to surreptitiously check the markets or maybe sneak an event in while at work via a smartphone. If I were to start describing a game where players have zipped about one persistent universe as one of three factions in customizable ships vying for wealth and territory by mining, dodging hostiles, fulfilling missions, blasting one another to bits, docking at stations, blazing trade routes, and pirating for the past 10 years, you would say. ![]()

No two Drag Race seasons are the same, and especially in the world of All Stars, the format is always in flux. Jordin Althaus/World of Wonder/Paramount+ The returning queens come back stronger, often with showstopping, designer-curated looks considering they are now, well, famous drag queens. On All Stars, the stakes are higher and the runways are fiercer – amateur queens not welcome. Often, the returning queens are fan favorites who, despite losing the competition in the past, went on to build successful careers in the public space. One of many Drag Race spin-off series, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars sees queens from previous Drag Race seasons return for the chance to snatch the crown they narrowly missed in their original runs. Here is everything you need to know about the new rules of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7. ![]() With the first-ever all-winners cast and a no-elimination format, the queens of All Stars 7 are playing a whole new game. The new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars hit streaming on May 20 with a major twist which, despite some dark web rumors, stayed completely under wraps prior to airing. One competition show, RuPaul’s Drag Race, has spent the last thirteen years running circles around its competitors, snagging Emmys for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program every year since 2018. Between Survivor, The Challenge, The Voice, American Idol, and countless others, it seems that good old fashioned competition never gets stale. Competition reality shows have an on-air lifespan two, three, and sometimes four times as long as that of a scripted series.

Nic Holas has written for The Guardian, Sydney Morning Herald, Archer Magazine, and Hello Mr. ![]() RuPaul’s Drag Race is fast-tracked from the US on Stan. Come back, five star All Stars! We miss you. Between this week and last week though, no-one is the winner – especially the audience. It is rare, nigh on impossible for a returning Drag Race queen to make it all the way to the top, but it may destabilise some of the others.ĭeLa is getting the weary edit, and Shangela and Trixie are talking like they are definitely in the top two. In a way, this has made the eliminations less shocking as we knew this stunt was coming up. Now, we know at least three queens are up for their return/revenge. Each week, Alaska and Chad have been green-screened into the final shot o the episode, violently collecting the losing queens. Whatever is happening with this Handmaid’s Tale rudemption narrative is coming to a head (how is your head, by the way?). AFTER EP 5, WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO WIN? In the end, BeBe lied about having to get to work and Aja jumped in the big Ru-ber to the sky and said farewell. That lip sync was more rigged than wigged, but at least it may put the conspiracy theories to rest. BeBe is an old school, stand and deliver queen and a Diana Ross number is perfect for that. So right!!! ? #AllStars3 /TluQWxSWPcīeBe JUST PLAYED Miss Ross in the Diva’s challenge, and the song (which, btw is my favourite Diana Ross number. The lip sync could have been Trixie’s chance to finally nab a win AND cement the unofficial alliance with Shangela…but then Ru gave them The Boss by Diana Ross and handed BeBe the win. “OK this was fun, definitely up for this again, yep, hey I think I hear your Uber outside.” – BeBeĪja was quick to realise her time here was done, and became upset but resigned to her fate (that’s how you do it, Barnaby). Given the pedigree of these two and their high likelihood of making the top four, it seemed like if Trixie won, Aja was going home.īackstage, BeBe spoke over Aja and railroaded her out of their one-on-one chat faster than I kick out trade after we have both finished This week, the tables were turned when Trixie was lip synching for her legacy and had the power to send Shangela home. ![]() She also tried to pass off a Bardot reference as 70s, when everyone knows that is a 60s thing, or quite possibly an early 00s thing if we are talking about the other Bardot (brb, updating my Tinder bio to “Some people say that I’m hard to tame…”).

These five options give you lots of tools for combining multiple shapes to create custom ones that fit your needs.Ĭlick here to watch this video on YouTube. Subtract will remove from one shape what was covered by the second.Intersect will remove everything except the intersection of the two shapes, making it similar to the opposite of the combine function.Fragment will combine them but give you a separate area to work with within these three compartments.Combine is similar to merge, but you get empty space where your shapes were overlapping.Union simply joins the two shapes, becoming one shape that you can use like all other shapes in PowerPoint.Here’s a quick rundown of what each option does: For Windows, go to the Format tab > Merge Shapes dropdown menu. As you can see, there are several options for merging shapes, including union, combine, fragment, intersect, and subtract. Thanks to this tool, you can draw a single, completely filled object, as well as change standard shapes such as a circle, rectangle, and paths. It automatically combines all overlapping paths into a single path shape, regardless of the nature of the strokes in the picture. ( Hint: The SketchUp inference engine can help. Adobe Illustrator for Mac and Windows has the Blob Brush Tool. Make sure you understand a few drawing basics and concepts, like how to align lines and shapes to the correct drawing axis. Over in the Insert Shapes group, click the Merge Shapes. Once you select the shapes, you’ll notice a new tab appearthe Shape Format tab. To do this, hold the Ctrl key while clicking each shape in turn. Learn how drawing lines and shapes in 3D is different from drawing in 2D. To merge the shapes, you’ll need first to select both of the shapes that you want to merge. Next, if you’re on a Mac, click on the Shape Format tab at the top > Merge Shapes dropdown menu. The drawing tools enable you to create those edges and faces.To insert a shape, go to Insert > Shapes. Select the shape that you want, and then use the crosshairs to draw it onto the slide. After you add and position the shape, you can break it into parts, or combine it with other shapes to create a custom shape. ![]() On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Insert button, then tap the Shapes button. To insert an automation shape, right-click (Win) / CTRL - click (Mac) on. First, insert the two shapes that you want to combine into my presentation. On your Mac, click the Shape button, then choose a shape. There are several predefined automation shapes that you can apply to a time selection.We’ll show you how to merge multiple shapes to create your own custom shapes. Sometimes, if you’re working on a presentation in PowerPoint, the standard shapes in the program might not suit your needs. ![]() The flexibility of Noise Grabber™ MLV also allows it to be used in smaller or awkward shaped places where other soundproofing options might not be a viable option. This property, known as damping, helps Noise Grabber™ MLV lessen sound transfer. A viscoelastic material will flow but will return to its original shape once the force moving them has been removed. This is done by taking a naturally viscoelastic material, PVC, and loading it with calcium sulfate to create mass. To be as heavy as it is, Noise Grabber™ MLV is very flexible and hangs limp instead of maintaining a rigid form. That brings us to another important proponent of Noise Grabber™ brand Mass Loaded Vinyl: its flexibility. This is how Noise Grabber™ MLV works as a soundproofing barrier in several applications, as it offers a flexible, dense material in addition to another firm, rigid material such as a wall or door. A more malleable and dense material, such as Noise Grabber™ MLV, helps to reduce the transfer of sound. Vibrations travel faster and easier through firm surfaces like floors and walls. Sound waves cause a vibration when they contact a surface, which then enlarges as it transfers to the air outside of a room. It does so in large part due to its weight. Mass Loaded Vinyl is a reflective barrier, meaning that it both contains and blocks sounds from leaving a space. The simplest way to think about it is this: The heavier the material, the better the soundproofing quality. These are measured with different STC ratings, which you can read more about here. Outside of how much they weigh, or the size, different weights of Noise Grabber™ MLV have different degrees of sound blocking capabilities. (W x L) x Weight per square foot = Total weight. Square footage can be found by multiplying the width times the length (W x L), and then the weight can be found simply by multiplying the square feet to the pounds per square foot. Therefore, a 4'x10' roll of Noise Grabber™ brand MLV would weigh 40 pounds. For example, the 1 LB Noise Grabber™ brand MLV is 1 pound for every square foot of material. This correlates to the thickness of the material, but since Noise Grabber™ MLV is produced to a precise weight per square foot, there might be slight variances in the thickness. Noise Grabber™ brand Mass Loaded Vinyl is a safe, non-toxic, odorless barrier designed to hang as a limp mass in a variety of soundproofing applications.Īll Mass Loaded Vinyl is measured by weight, specifically, pounds per square foot. MLV has been used for soundproofing purposes dating back to the 1960s and is still considered to be one of the most effective sound-blocking materials on the market. The weight of Noise Grabber™ MLV is the product of infusing the vinyl sheet with a calcium carbonate, which gives MLV its density while retaining flexibility. Mass Loaded Vinyl, commonly known as MLV, is a heavy, vinyl sheeting material that is used to stop sound transmission. |
