You can rotate the photos in the collage, increase or decrease the spacing between the photos, and increase or decrease the size of the photos (which, in turn, decreases or increases the number of photos that are included in a collage). To the right of the center work area are a handful of sliders to tweak the look of your collage. You can also use the Random Layout and Shuffle buttons at the top of the CollageIt window to reorder your photos.

This number tells about the harmony - or disharmony between your date of birth (fundament vibration), which represents your personality archetype, and your birth year, which tells about the energies that affect you in your inner universe. Together they add up to 0 which is written as 0/0 in numerological notation. HIGHER SELF RIGHT AURA The higher self right aura is found by adding the digitsum of the year energy - in your case 0 with the digit sum of the birth vibration - in your case a 0. Your life path number will also be felt in your dreams where your deepest longings and aspirations are revealed to you in the language and symbols of the subconscious mind. While the fundament vibration (day in the month you are born) is your outer personality archetype and the number you usually put in use during the day when you deal with people, business and the practical routines of life, your life path number will more be felt when you are among loved ones and during the evening/night when you are more in your essence. It is the collected vibration of ALL the numbers in your birthdate - the overall vibration - which makes it the vibration your soul chooses to reincarnate in. Your life path number is something you take with you from former lives which is why it sometimes also is called your KARMIC NUMBER - it is the core number of your SOUL - who you are at the DEEPEST LEVEL and what most people intuitively feel as the number that represents the core of their being. The life path number is the CORE of your higher self. The life path number (sometimes called your ESSENCE or KARMA number) is found by adding the digit sums of the fundament vibration (day of birth in the month), month vibration and year vibration. In your case your birth vibration digit sum 0 + your month digitsum 0 + your year digitsum 0 which alltogether gives 0 and is written as 0/0 in numerological notation. SMALL LIFEPATH NUMBER This number is found by adding the digitsums of the birth vibration + month vibration + year vibration. How this quality expresses itself in your outer world is very much influenced by the "outer" numbers in your human self chart - your top left aura number, your first name number and your bottom left aura. Since this number is in the higher self it represents a tendency of your soul - you are born with this quality in your outer universe. This number also tells about how others that meet you for the first time see and feel you. This number is all about how you deal with the outer world - with new people you meet for the first time and the situations that you encounter in daily life. This number is found by adding the digit sum of the fundament vibration and the digit sum of the month. This number tells about the harmony - or disharmony between your date of birth (fundament vibration), which represents your personality archetype, and your birth month which tells about the energies that you are affected by from the outside world. Together this gives the number 0 which is written as 0/0 i numerologisk notation. HIGHER SELF LEFT AURA The higher self left aura is found by adding the digitsum of the month energy - in your case a 0 with digitsum of the birth vibration - in your case 0. This means the higher self top aura - or soul expression number has a subtle background effect on your life expression number - it will be in the number silently motivating your life expression number in this way having a subtle influence on what you attract in your life. In the same way the higher self top aura is your "soul life expression" number since it is derived by adding your "soul name" (month) and your "soul surname" (year). The life expression number is the collected vibration of your names. Your year vibration (an energy connected with a whole generation) is an inner energy and is thereby connected with your surname which also is an inner energy dictating how you feel inside and how you organize your thoughts. The month that you are born is an "outer" energy and is thereby connected with your first name that also is an outer energy. Your month vibration is sometimes called your "soul name" while your year vibration is sometimes called "soul surname". This number also tells about your spirituality and how you communicate with divinity. ![]() When there is a pure communication between conscious and subconscious the supramental mind is created - which is the portal to deeper understanding of your unique path and dharma in life. This number represents the interplay between your month vibration and your year vibration - your outer and inner worlds and thereby the communication between your conscious and subconscious mind.

I dont think so but it depends of how big they grow. I hope that you'll give a larger tank a try so that you can see your fish at their best! □ Larger water volumes are less prone to fluctuations, so this will also help make your fish happier. There is no reason to try this at home, as an overstocked tank can cause many more problems than simply getting a larger tank. Even with this in mind, the amount of stocking pet stores have can still be very detrimental to the fish. They have huge filters to handle all the extra waste, and since the fish are only going to be there for a little while, it's okay if the tank is smaller than ideal. Pet stores are able to get away with such obscene stocking simply because it's temporary. □Īs for pet stores, their method of stocking should never be emulated (unless it's temporary and you're and experienced fish keeper). You can't really tell if your fish is happy unless you've seen him when he's in an ideal environment so that you can compare it to however he's behaving now. If you get a 20 gallon and a proper school, you might notice a difference. If you have only kept your fish with one or two more companions, you can't really accurately observe if the fish is happy with or without companions. In the wild, these fish would be in much bigger groups than even six, but 5 or 6 is usually what we say is enough to keep the fish happy. ![]() Not being with a big enough group of fish can also cause a lot of stress. You can think of it as trying to house a dog in a closet. In addition, these fish just require more room. Low water quality and frequent parameter shifts can make the fish quite stressed and unhappy, even if they are still eating and swimming around. While your fish may be able to survive in a tank that small, it is cruel to force them to as their bioload is too much for the tank, and even the slightest mishap can lead to a huge fluctuation in water parameters. ![]() ![]() ![]() NAPLAN tests are just one aspect of a school’s assessment and reporting process they do not replace ongoing assessments made by teachers about student performance. The tests provide parents and schools with an understanding of how individual students are performing at the time of the tests. Students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participate in the annual NAPLAN tests in reading, writing, language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) assesses literacy and numeracy skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life. "It has much greater focus on the value add that a school is delivering for the students by having a stronger focus on progress," Mr de Carvalho said.Information for Parents Why do students do NAPLAN tests? There is also a chart for the progress of a group of students in a given subject over the past five years. Other changes include a new table showing the percentage of students in a school who achieve above-average progress in reading, writing and numeracy. It doesn't mean the school itself is doing well according to student progress." And what they mean is the school that gets the top NAPLAN result. "So you will find some newspapers headline: 'The state's top NAPLAN performer'. "We know that 70 to 80 per cent of a school's result is associated with the socio-economic background of the students. Under new rules, accessing the My School website includes agreeing not to create league tables or use the data for commercial purposes. ![]() ![]() Media organisations doing so on parents' behalf and to get a "good story" would be breaking the law. Mr de Carvalho said the only way teachers and parents could look at league tables was if someone scraped data from the website. One of the strongest criticisms of NAPLAN was that parents and schools would create league tables allowing them to shop for the best school instead of looking for the school that was best for their child. "It reduces the opportunity for unfair comparisons between schools, based simply on achievement levels." "It's a much bigger pool of kids and we're getting a much more accurate reading of relative performance," said David de Carvalho, the chief executive of the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority. Instead of being able a compare a child's school against similar schools, from Wednesday the comparison group includes all school students in Australia who have the same socio-economic background. The council made changes to the way the results of the Australia-wide testing system are presented, following a review by an education expert. The Education Council accepted changes in the way NAPLAN results are presented following a review by an education expert. Critics of NAPLAN lose one of their strongest weapons on Wednesday when the latest results go live on the My School website, without the ability to create league tables of schools in the same neighbourhood or state.Ī campaign against NAPLAN by the Australian Education Union and state governments in NSW, Queensland, Victoria and the ACT was headed off by the federal government's Education Council last year. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some ironing units produce large volumes of steam making them usable as vertical steamers. Steam power: For any quilter, steam is important as it makes ironing easier and faster. When dents begin to form, the quality of ironing goes down. Moreover, build materials influence the quality of the ironing. Aluminum, which is lightweight and easier to heat up, and stainless steel which is heavier, heat-retaining and can take knocks better. When considering the iron’s soleplate, there are two main materials used. They dictate the lifespan and robustness of your iron. Build materials: Build materials are important when in the market for a new iron. These activities may add to your monthly utility bill. While quilting or sewing, there may be long periods of idle time as you adjust your fabric layers. This could become a consideration to keep in mind for those that iron huge volumes of fabric. Power consumption: Some ironing units consume well over 1500-watts while there are many that require far less than 1000-watts. They require longer periods to even out the fabric. Not only do lighter irons allow better maneuverability, but they are also light enough for people with conditions such as arthritis to use for long periods. There are still many who have a preference for lighter irons. They also make ironing less of a chore as they iron much faster. Heavier irons might work well in terms of heat retention. Weight: The preference varies from one quilter to another. Novice quilters or those with a limited budget will settle for a good budget priced iron. ![]() Not everyone is after an extensive feature list though. The more costly units support more features than budget oriented irons. Budget: Iron prices are as varied as there are available models.

Each of which was designed to serve the same purpose. From terracotta French flat irons, soapstone Italian irons to stone Middle Eastern irons. Over the centuries, the sewer’s iron has taken many forms. Are you an experienced quilter or novice looking for a steam iron? Do you need a steam iron that is within your budget? Ever since the Chinese discovered that hot metal can be used to press fabric until smooth, a quilting iron has become as important as a good pair of scissors or tape measure to any quilter. ![]() ![]() ![]() In actual sense, the PS Style brushes for ArtRage, were created and intended for use as a test tool for the ArtRage 3.5.0 version. The Photoshop (PS) Style Brushes for ArtRage.The overall ArtRage package consists of basically two broad categories of users tools- which are the ArtRage brushes, and the ArtRage stickers.īelow is a carefully gathered list of fifteen free ArtRage brushes and stickers that you’ll definitely find useful if you’re coming on board. However- before you begin the ArtRage experience, it is important to have a basic idea of the significant components, that have made previous users recommend this package over and over again. According to survey outputs conducted on various ends, a good number of digital art designers have commended the Ambient Design™ ArtRage, for its ingeniously apt and non-complex user interface. Consequently, some people say it is a better digital design model, over other models like Photoshop. Note that this tendency is facilitated by the helpful design and straightforwardness of this painting package. Hence, it doesn’t matter if you’re just starting off with bitmap painting or you’ve attained the veteran stages. Now, another good thing about ArtRage use is the fact that they’re suitable for all classes of possible users. Hence you can get a lot done, using any or all of the ArtRage functional brushes and stickers- which are in fact the main deal for a pleasant digital painting experience. ![]() Its relevance in bringing users that necessary painting ease and accuracy on a digital framework, is a reason why its popularity is fast rising as far as digital painting is concerned.

However, in Experiment 4, it was presented during the recall phase, and the results provided evidence of a role for visual imagery in backward digit recall. In Experiment 3, DVN was presented during encoding of information to be remembered and had no effect upon performance. Experiments 3 and 4 then further investigated the role of visual processes in forward and backward recall using dynamic visual noise (DVN). Experiment 2 shifted concurrent load to the recall phase instead and, in this case, revealed a larger effect of both tasks on backward recall, relative to forwards recall, suggesting that backward recall may draw on additional resources during the recall phase and that these resources are visuospatial in nature. The concurrent tasks did not differentially disrupt performance on backward digit recall, relative to forward digit recall. In the first, participants completed visuospatial 0-back and 2-back tasks during the encoding of information to be remembered. Five experiments therefore investigated the role of executive-attentional and visuospatial resources in both forward and backward digit recall. Some researchers consider it to differ from forward digit recall due to the involvement of executive control, while others suggest that backward recall involves visuospatial resources.

His binoculars and red leather-bound bird identification book have sat on the same shelf in our living room for as long as I can remember. My dad, an avid outdoorsman, has always watched birds. A male Cape May warbler is shown perched on a branch at Tawas Point in Iosco County. Heads turned as I accidentally stepped on small sticks, creating obviously unwanted noise. I became aware of the sound of my own footsteps on the soft, dirt trail. This is just something you get used to as a Michigander.īut, as I passed the entry signs to the trail and continued my walk, birdsong became all I could hear. Historically, birdsong has only served as background noise to me anytime I’ve gone outside or heard it faintly through my bedroom window as the sun rises. It turns out I was a few days late for the actual birding festival, but right on time for peak bird migration. Through the thinnest parts of the wooded areas there were small visible patches of wetlands and beautiful beaches. Young cottonwood and birch lay ahead of me, lining the trail. “Pets, bicycles and unauthorized vehicles are NOT permitted beyond this point.” The land that the Sandy Hook Nature Trail sits on is defined by the DNR as Primitive Zone – an underdeveloped recreational experience. “STOP – PLEASE READ.” I tend to not be a sign reader, but this sign that sat at the start of the trail seemed to have an important message. The Sandy Hook Nature Trail, which I was set to explore, winds through the state park and is carved by the feet of thousands of visitors from all over the world every year. The southernmost half of the point is a state park managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The point itself extends south out into Lake Huron for about 2 miles and marks the northern edge of Saginaw Bay.

With it being two weeks prior to that, I was surprised to see hundreds of people already walking past the lighthouse and strolling the beaches that morning.īirdwatchers, or “birders,” flocked by the thousands to Tawas Point during the whole month of May, many traveling from out of state to attend the annual Tawas Birding Festival. The biggest tourism season along Great Lakes beaches unofficially begins on Memorial Day. What I didn’t expect, though, were the birdwatchers. I would be giving lighthouse tours to upwards of 50 visitors a day, doing research about the Great Lakes for one of my college classes, and hopefully spending some time recovering from and reflecting on my sophomore year of college, which had ended only a week before this new adventure began.
