![]() As you can see in the photo, there's a large gap between the wood board and the chimney. In the kitchen remodel, the wall will now be showing so I want to remove the wood boards and replace with drywall. We stuffed insulation in the open spaces to close off the cold air. After we moved in we discovered cold air coming from the top of the wood board from the attic. As you can see in the photo, the "wall" behind the refrigerator is a wood board that was open at the top. The chimney houses a vent for the basement gas furnace and gas water heater, not for the fireplace. I'm doing a kitchen remodel in Colorado and pulled one tall cabinet to reveal a chimney (see photo). Otherwise sand it with something coarse but be careful, once you sand through the trowled smooth finish what is under it is a little softer and easier to mess up, but you can always go over it again with joint coumound. Ideally you don't need to sand plaster unless it is to scuff up a too shiny plaster job. you try to feather the plaster down to nothing out on the edge but there is still thickness at the actual joint, Joint compound seems to bond better to paint, especially if you scuff sand it a bit and feathers down to nothing even better than plaster. The reason you don't want to lap plaster onto the old work is because plaster does not bond well to paint and sooner or later it will peel off the paint then when it peels back to the edge of the old finish there will be an offset. I think if you aren't satisfied with your end result that the best thing is to go over it and this time you can lap onto the old wall. So far it feels very sold and I was going to coat it with setting compound. It is plaster of paris and I wetted the surface and the plaster as it dried with a spray bottle. ![]() I dont think it is enough to try to match up, as I was thinking about using sanded paint (worked well in other room to hide imperfections).īelow is a repair I made to the loose setting compound repair. The original walls had a very light sand swirl texture. An elderly lady lived here before and I would bet humidity caused this over the years. The house was not kept up real good when I bought it and I bet the room was sealed off without AC for years. The only loose area of my recent repair is along the base board. He thinks pulling the baseboards off disturbed it enough to loosen the top coat. I had a drywall contractor look at it he said it seemed solid. Maybe I should have kept scraping it all off though. This seems to have sealed the edges down and I do not feel any hollow areas underneath it. I tried using diluted wood glue to seal the edges of where I stopped scraping. I do believe it is the top 1/8inch that is loose. if you need help there post pictures of what you have and we can get you started. I use a spray bottle andk eep the wall lubricated and the trowel clean and stroke it down until it is hard keep the surrounding existing clean If there is a texture then lay it down smoothly and texture. I forgot to tell you how to make this smooth. GEt off all that is loose as described by one of the others then report back. ![]() Is or was the room ever sealed off through a long period? An unsued, possibly unheated room will lend itself to more cracking and bond failure than a fully conditioned room. You know what? It is a messy job but if you are going to be plastering anyway you could blow insulation into the cavities before you do. The speculation about separation of the finish from the brown because of temperature difference is probably right. If you rub your hand over it and nothing rubs off you are good to go. Might help, I would not do it if it is not crumbly or dusty. When you are finished the new and the existing should be exactly flush Maybe I got ahed of myself a little. Use a wet brush or wet cloth and wipe it off the old work. It's tempting to lap the material onto the old work. The object of this is to get it flush with the existing get it smooth and keep the old work clean. While it is still wet and not set you can add another pass if necessary. You can mix more at once and have more time to et it right. For the sake of more time go with 45 or 90 minute mud. I like the EasySand and its competitors better than Durabond. The most amateur friendly material is a setting joint compound. That finish is 1/16 -1/8" right? Is the base coat, called the brown coat hard? Chalky? If it is in good shape then you aare ready to finish. If I understand rightly you have a thin finish coat over gypsum plaster over gypsum lath.

![]() ![]() He is the father of Icarus, the uncle of Perdix, and possibly the father of Iapyx. His intelligence was legendary, making him the finest artificer known far and wide. The Characters in The Story of Icarus and Daedalusĭaedalus: Daedalus, a highly skilled architect, and craftsman, was renowned for his wisdom, knowledge, and power. This timeless tale serves as a cautionary reminder of the consequences of reckless ambition. ![]() They attempted flight using wings made of wax and feathers, but Icarus flew too close to the sun despite his father’s warnings, leading to his tragic demise. In Europe, myths and tales abounded about people taking flight, with the legend of Daedalus and Icarus being the most famous. Ancient Indians spoke of Vimanas, while Leonardo da Vinci envisioned intricate flying machines inspired by birds. Long before this achievement, flying had captivated the human imagination for centuries. The advent of flight marked a momentous milestone in history, fulfilling mankind’s age-old dream of soaring through the skies. In 1903, the Wright brothers achieved a groundbreaking feat by inventing the first successful airplane, revolutionizing human transportation. This magnificent palace boasts 1,300 rooms adorned with breathtaking frescoes and artifacts, still preserved today. Daedalus designed the Minoan Palace of Knossos in Crete, an extraordinary archaeological treasure in Greece. The myth of Icarus and Daedalus is a captivating Greek tale, that blends history and mythology. ![]() This colour visual for a book cover from Exercise 4.3– I had been meaning to make complete art of it for some time for my portfolio, and if I moved elements so that it could fit on an A4 or A3 sheet in portrait format (with extra yellow space in the middle for text and typography) I could turn it into a poster for a children’s library, or some type of event! I really like the framing of the animals and the child characters, as well as the fun bright colours, with the contrast between red text and a yellow background, and also the direct contrast between red text and the green plant framing – I feel like children would respond very well to it! I narrowed my choice down to four pieces I could turn into artefacts: I noted elements I enjoyed, from the potential of the character designs from exercises like Ex 2.5, Ex 2.10, Ex 4.7, and so forth to be transformed into new character-focused works for the transparent layer where I drew the kids for Exercise 4.2’s Children’s museum poster to be converted into sticker designs for the designs of various animals and all the experimentation that came with them to be converted to children’s media, and for designs like the black-and-white piece for Exercise 2.9 to be so simple that it becomes mouldable to any area of illustrative practice, from prints to decorations! Choosing a work Developmental pencil-only sketchbook work!.Finished works not focusing on a character.Finished works experimenting with style or medium.Using colour codes, I divided the sections based on content: I first had to start out by making a ‘gallery’ of illustrations and fragments I enjoyed! I used my iPad’s image folders, because I already often store work on there to refer back to away from my PC, and because the image folder interface made it easy to view images and mix and match thumbnail positions! ![]() – and pick one with elements I enjoy, to turn into its own artefact, independent of what its original brief intended it for! Gallery This exercise asked me to go through all my work from past uni projects – finished pieces, working drawings, sketches, etc. ![]() The factor-label method yields the desired cancellation of units, and the computed result is on the order of 10 22 as expected. The process should be very similar with other such atoms, just make sure to keep your periodic table and calculator handy.\] Then, I used "Avogadro's Number", or #6.022 * 10^23 " atoms per mole"# to convert the mole amount to atoms of Carbon. #4.01 " g Carbon" ((1 " mol Carbon")/(12.01 " g Carbon")) ((6.022 * 10^23 atms Carbon)/(1 " mol Carbon")) = 2.01 * 10^23 " atms Carbon"#īasically, I first wrote down the amount in grams, and I used the molar mass of Carbon (which can be found on the periodic table under Carbon) 12.01 g/mol to convert 4.01 g of Carbon to moles of Carbon. Next, using the periodic table, find the atomic mass in g/mol of each element (the molar mass of an element is equal to its atomic mass): Molar Mass (g/mol) H (Hydrogen) 1.00794: S (Sulphur/Sulfur) 32.065: O (Oxygen) 15.9994: 3. ![]() ![]() The breakdown would be as follows, with dimensional anaysis: It can supply you with an accurate representation of a substance’ssize and mass, and valence electron shell. And, lets assume that you are given 4.01 g of Carbon, and you are tasked to find the number of atoms in that mass of Carbon. Periodic Table Of Elements Rounded Atomic Mass The Regular Table is a crucial part of the research into scientific research, also it can be useful in discovering a substance’s qualities. For this case, lets say that that substance is Carbon (C). Prepare a concept map and use the proper conversion factor. Let's say that you are given an amount of grams of a substance. Number of atoms are calculated using a number known as "Avogadro's number." How many atoms of zinc, Zn, are in #"120.71 g Zn"?# Once you have moles, multiply by Avogadro's number to calculate the number of atoms. So, if you are given the mass of an element, you use the periodic table to find its molar mass, and multiply the given mass by the reciprocal of the molar mass. To calculate atoms of Au, multiply moles Au by Avogadro's number. The final answer will be rounded to four significant figures. I'm keeping a couple of guard digits to reduce rounding errors. Weve discussed mass at length by doing molar mass conversions. And we can do this for all the elements in the periodic table. For potassium then, it is 39.098 g/mol which means one mole of potassium atoms weighs 39.098 g. Transcribed image text: Calculate the molar mass of each element or compound below. #58.27color(red)cancel(color(black)("g Au"))xx(1"mol Au")/(196.967color(red)cancel(color(black)("g Au")))="0.295836 mol Au"# What’s important for today’s topic is that numerically, the molar mass is equal to the average atomic mass of the given atom, so we can look it up in the periodic table. To calculate moles of Au, multiply the given mass by the reciprocal of the molar mass. Use this visual tool for calculating molar mass for any chemical formula. The molar mass of copper (II) chloride dihydrate is g/mol. The molar mass of magnesium phosphate is g/mol. The molar mass of glucose C6H1206 is g/mol. This means that its molar mass is #"196.967 g/mol"#. Use a periodic table to fill in the following blanks: (please round off your answer to an interger and do not include a demical. The periodic table shows us that gold, Au, has the atomic weight ![]() How many atoms of gold are in #"58.27 g"# of gold? It is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, which contains tin dioxide. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tin is a post-transition metal in group 14 of the periodic table. Every chemical element has a specific atomic number, which provides insight into the number of protons present within its nucleus. The following example will show you how to do that. The periodic table lists the atomic mass of carbon as 12. #"Mass"#rarr#"Moles"# and #"Moles"#rarr#"Atoms"# The molar mass of any substance is its atomic mass, molecular mass, or formula mass in grams per mole. There are two basic steps to get from the given mass to the number of atoms. For calculations, use the given molar mass on the periodic table without rounding. Usually you will have a given mass of an element. Re: Rounding molar mass on the periodic table. The elements in group 1 are known as the alkali metals, those in group 2. Groups are numbered 118 from left to right. Elements can be classified as metals, metalloids, and nonmetals, or as a main-group elements, transition metals, and inner transition metals. One mole of anything, including atoms, is #6.022xx10^23# (Avogadro's number) of them. Elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties. ![]() 159, 2, -2 gave me a great super saturated selective yellow light. I also wanted to paint some really bright yellow light across the bird. Then I added several cooler lights below and behind the objects to create a more chromat¬ ically diverse chiaroscuro (don’t you just hate snotty art school drivel?). ![]() I placed one main warm spotlight, which shone through a leafy/branchy shadow object grid. I like to set the ambience in my scenes to black and let the lights actually light the scene. Lighting was used for a lot of the color variations in Dodo Redux. There are only 35 different Texture maps in this scene. Some textures I created solely in PhotoShop and Painter as well. After scanning some pieces of junk and mucking with them in Photoshop (and making them tilable where needed), I created Texture, Bump, Specular, and Diffusion maps based on the metals. Texturing of the more rusty objects consisted of texture hunting in a field that was home to some construction equipment. Once tessellated, there were a little over 1 million polygons in this scene. Then I’d tag the various cross sections, do a “center to ver¬ tices,” and scale and rotate the section appropriately. Most parts that weren’t skinned were extrusions along splines. I used them for two main reasons: first, for the more organic feel, and second, because it’s easier to place textures and have them follow the surface accurately. The Modeling of almost everything was out of NURBS and patch surfaces. Well, actually, they all are, but who’s counting? This illustration start¬ ed with this lovely sketch from my sketch¬ book. Fortunately, none of those things are contradictory. I wanted it to feel organic, yet staged, simple and fun, yet sophisticated and techy.

It consists of thousands of different characters, each with its own meaning and pronunciation. The Japanese kanji alphabet is one of the most complex writing systems in the world. How many letters are in the Japanese kanji alphabet? Some experts are of the opinion that the number of letters in this too is 46. These symbols were adapted from Chinese characters, but have since evolved into their own unique forms.Įach character represents a single syllable or sound, with each character being made up of two parts: A consonant followed by vowels. ![]() In total, there are 48 characters which make up the modern Katakana syllabary. How many letters there are in the Katakana Alphabet? In addition, some hiragana characters have two forms – one for beginning sounds and one for ending sounds – making them even more complex than they seem at first glance. They are usually written in one continuous stroke without lifting your pen or pencil from paper. It’s important to note that these characters represent both consonants and vowels.Įach character also has a distinct stroke order, meaning it must be written in a specific way according to certain rules. ![]() The Hiragana alphabet consists of a total of 46 characters, each representing a different sound. So how many letters are in the Japanese Hiragana alphabet? The answer is 46! One of the most popular components of the Japanese language is the Hiragana alphabet. ![]() The Japanese language is known for its unique characters and symbols, which can be difficult to learn. How many letters are in the Japanese Hiragana alphabet? In fact, there are two main alphabets used to write Japanese, known as hiragana and katakana.Īdditionally, there is a third writing system called kanji which consists of characters derived from Chinese characters. If you are interested in learning the Japanese alphabet, you may be surprised to discover that there is more than one type of alphabet used in the language. 13 Is the Japanese Kanji alphabet used today? How many alphabets in the Japanese language? ![]() “Sorry” becomes the one English word his mother can rely on, particularly working in a nail salon. For the writer, however, it is the mother tongue,” Little Dog notes, then asks, “But what if the mother tongue is stunted? What if that tongue is not only the symbol of a void, but is itself a void, what if the tongue is cut out? Can one take pleasure in loss without losing oneself entirely?” Little Dog and his family have already lost so much-their home, husbands, a child, their culture-and in this place, they need English to survive. “ No object is in a constant relationship with pleasure, wrote Barthes. Often, the narrator and his mother and grandmother must rely on language, English in particular, to exist, rendering their mother tongue useless. Their interlocked stories create the marred portrait of Little Dog’s Hartford childhood as an immigrant and a queer man in a time and place when the opioid epidemic is just beginning and hate crimes are committed against queer people frequently. Is Little Dog addressing his mother (“Dear Ma”) or is he implicating us all? “Maybe a survivor is the last one to come home, the final monarch that lands on a branch already weighted with ghosts.” Little Dog’s ghosts: his nameless GI maternal grandfather, his father locked away for domestic abuse, his friends who overdose, his lover who overdoses. “To live, then, is a matter of time, of timing.” When he asks, “What do we mean when we say survivor?” the pronoun-“we”-becomes ambiguous. “It only takes a single night of frost to kill off a generation,” Little Dog states of migrating monarch butterflies. A name, thin as air, can also be a shield.” Given the brutality of his world, this choice of naming, or language, is an attempt to give Little Dog some protection, although he is nearly crushed time and again. We never learn the narrator’s proper name he is only referred to as “Little Dog” since “o love something, then, is to name it after something so worthless it might be left untouched-and alive. Readers familiar with Vuong’s work will notice that On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous’ beginning passage was published as a personal history in The New Yorker, and the echoes one continues to see of Vuong’s life throughout the novel make it particularly poignant. This opening reveals how much of a struggle speaking, or writing, is for the narrator and how much there is for him to examine. ![]() From there, the narrator deep dives into his family’s, and town’s, history. ![]() “Dear Ma, I am writing to reach you-even if each word I put down is one word further from where you are.” Ostensibly written as a letter to his mother that she will likely never see, Vuong’s opening implies an existing conversation or an attempt that has come before that the reader is not privy to. Language, or one’s tongue, is ultimately what binds these traumas-yielding something gorgeous, something more powerful than the traumas themselves. The beauty and love in this landscape are dark-tinged and fragile. Primarily set in Hartford, although some scenes are set in Vietnam during the war, the landscape is heartbreaking, filled with queer hate addiction and overdoses domestic violence mental illness, including PTSD and the trials of being an immigrant. She continues, “‘Have you ever watched yourself from behind, going further and deeper into that landscape, away from you?’” In response, the still young narrator thinks, “How could I tell you that what you were describing was writing? How could I say that we, after all, are so close, the shadows of our hands, on two different pages, merging?” The landscape, as well as the mother-son dynamic, that Vuong creates is searing, vivid, and nothing like the house the narrator’s mother colors in. “‘Have you ever made a scene…and then put yourself inside it?’” the narrator’s mother in Ocean Vuong’s debut novel, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, asks her son as she colors in a Thomas Kinkade house. ![]() Promising that Elisha would receive a double portion of his spirit ( 2 Kings 2:10).

Melting chocolate can be tricky because if you overheat the chocolate or scorch it, your fudge won't work. The microwave is the easiest and fastest way to melt chocolate. The key to most of the easy fudge recipes on this blog is mixing chocolate with a shortcut ingredient (such as sweetened condensed milk) and melting the combination. How do I melt chocolate in the microwave? Gently stir in any mix-ins, if you're using them.Yes, I really use a whole tablespoon of vanilla.Stir in a tablespoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.Shop on Amazon Carnation Sweetened Condens. Shop on Amazon GHIRARDELLI Classic White P. If using pure white chocolate (with cocoa butter listed in the ingredients), use 19 ounces. If you’re using white confectionery coating chips (no cocoa butter listed in the ingredients, use 16 ounces. Please note, the recipe here uses Nestle-brand white “morsels,” which is actually confectionery coating.So if you're using the latter, you may want to reduce the number of chocolate chips to 2 ½ cups. I find that Nestle white chocolate chips melt a bit thinner than the Ghiradelli brand.For best results, melt the chips with heat only until they are about three-quarters of the way melted, then rely on residual heat to fully melt the chocolate chips, rather than adding additional heat.Alternatively, melt the chocolate and milk in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl on top of a saucepan of simmering water.If necessary, microwave for additional 15-second intervals. ![]() Use the residual heat to stir the mixture well until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
