Nail the shim to the underside of one end of a 1m-long straightedge. This piece of wood is known as a levelling shim. In our example in step 3, we calculated a fall of 12.5mm would be needed. Measure and cut a small strip of wood to the required drop in height of the patio per metre. This ensures that when the sub-base is laid, the gradual slope of the fall will be present in the sub-base. Hammer in the next row of wooden pegs in line with the first, exactly one metre away. Use a long piece of timber as a straight edge to make sure that all of the pegs are level with each other and remedy if not. Hammer them in until the marked line is level with the excavated earth. Hammer a row of these marked pegs – spread at 1m intervals – across the highest side of the site. From the top of the peg, measure the depth of the sub-base (100mm) and mark a line clearly on the peg using a pen or pencil. Take a number of wooden pegs (600mm tall and pointed at one end is ideal – these can either be made or purchased). Peg out the final surface level of the sub-base. You can choose the slope direction if there are no walls on any side. If building a patio next to a house, garage or outbuilding, the paved area should slope away from the walls. Allow a total fall of 37.5mm from the highest point of the paved area to the lowest. This will give you the total difference in height required between the highest and lowest point of the patio.įor example, if you are building a patio 3m long with textured paving, you will require a fall of 12.5mm per m. 12.5 or 16mm) by the length of the sloping side of the paved area in metres (m). These paving slabs require a slightly steeper slope as they’re more likely to get slippery if surface water doesn't drain off quickly. If using flat or smooth paving slabs - aim for a fall that is 1 in 60.That is a 12.5mm drop in level per metre. If using textured paving slabs – the ideal fall for a patio is 1 in 80. The ideal fall is dependent on the type of paving slabs being laid. Move the slabs out of the way, making a plan on paper of what goes where so you can put them back in the same location.Ĭalculate the fall for your patio, using the final dimensions confirmed at the end of step 1. Measure the length and width of the paving area to confirm the final dimensions of your patio. Allow for your preferred joint size between each slab. Lay out the paving slabs in the desired pattern, either where you plan to build your patio or on a clear, flat area of lawn. This is also an opportunity to mix up paving from different pallets - important if you have natural stone slabs as it'll help to blend any varying shades. If possible, dry lay the patio to check that your measurements are correct. A patio is still level with a fall as the gradient is so gradual. The fall is a slight slope across a paved area that helps surface water to drain away easily. You'll also need to calculate and mark out the fall. The first step in creating your new patio is marking out the space. Wear safety goggles, gloves and a dust mask when mixing mortar to avoid cement coming into contact with your skin or eyes, or being inhaled.When operating a plate compactor wear steel toe-capped boots, safety goggles and ear protection.Cement, either wet or dry, can cause skin irritation, so always ensure you wash with soap and water if it comes into contact with your skin.If you find buried pipes or cables, you can employ a professional to relocate these, or consider an alternative location for your patio. Pipes and cables should be buried a minimum of 450mm below the surface, but you can't always be certain that this is the case - especially with older properties. Before you start excavating the sub-base area, use a hired cable avoidance tool (CAT) to check for any underground pipes or cables for gas, water, electricity, telephone or drainage services.We recommend always working with a friend or family member to reduce the strain of lifting. If you are laying slabs 600 x 600mm or larger, you must have someone to help you lift and lay them. Ear defenders - when using the plate compactor and angle grinder. Steel toe-capped work boots - when using the plate compactor.Rigger gloves - for handling paving slabs.Angle grinder with stone-cutting disc - if cuts to the paving slabs are required.Cement mixer - ideal for larger paving projects.Plate compactor - also known as a wacker plate.Builders line - for marking out the site.Large builders square - also known as a folding square.Off-cut piece of timber - to protect the slab when laying.2 - 22millimetre (mm) timber or dowel off-cuts - used to make spacers for joints.Long timber straight edge - for ensuring your sub-base is level.Building sand - for jointing larger joints.Fine, kiln-dried block paving sand - for jointing 10mm or smaller joints.MOT type 1 hardcore or sub-base material.

retrospectives promote ownership and responsibility by the project team with respect to all aspects of the process participants can understand the rationale behind all process decisions.retrospectives leverage the benefits of iterative development: they offer explicit opportunities to improve the team’s performance over the duration of the project.failing that, take note of the improvement ideas and action items which are the outputs of retrospectives: they can take the form of a written document, or often of Post-Its summarizing ideas and decisions, displayed in a specific spot on the team room’s walls.taking part, in an observer role, in one such meeting is the best way to ascertain the use of this practice.Identical issues coming up at each retrospective, without measurable improvement over time, may signal that the retrospective has become an empty ritual. One or two improvement ideas per iteration retrospective may well be enough. An effective retrospective will normally result in decisions, leading to action items it’s a mistake to have too few (there is always room for improvement) or too many (it would be impractical to address “all” issues in the next iteration).Poor execution, either from the usual causes of bad meetings (lack of preparation, tardiness, inattention) or from causes specific to this format (lack of trust and safety, taboo topics), will result in the practice being discredited, even though a vast majority of the Agile community views it as valuable. Being an all-hands meeting, a retrospective comes at a significant cost in person-hours.The facilitator is responsible for creating the conditions of mutual trust this may require taking into accounts such factors as hierarchical relationships, the presence of a manager for instance may inhibit discussion of performance issues. On the other hand, an effective retrospective requires that each participant feel comfortable speaking up.It will not be useful if it devolves into a verbal joust, or a whining session. A retrospective is intended to reveal facts or feelings which have measurable effects on the team’s performance, and to construct ideas for improvement based on these observations.The term “reflection workshop” from Alistair Cockburn is encountered less often, though it appears to have influenced the Agile Manifesto’s wording of the corresponding principle. This is also known as the “sprint retrospective”, or “iteration retrospective”, often abbreviated, e.g. The term “retrospective”, popularized by Norm Kerth (see below), has gained favor in the Agile community over better known ones such as “debriefing” or “post-mortem”, for its more positive connotations. One important reason to use a facilitated format is to give all team members an opportunity to speak up. Several distinct formats have been described, depending in large part on the time set aside for the meeting, typically between one and three hours. This is often a facilitated meeting following a set format. The team meets regularly, usually adhering to the rhythm of its iterations, to explicitly reflect on the most significant events to have occurred since the previous such meeting, and take decisions aiming at remediation or improvement. An under sampling of the coastal ocean in both time and space in assessment of coastal water chemistry may result in these bivalve-poor water conditions to be overlooked entirely. Crassostrea gigas, for example, shows enhanced sensitivity to water conditions during the first 48 h of calcification ( Barton et al., 2012). Ocean acidification-related symptoms include, but are not limited to, compromised shell integrity, increased mortality, and reduced recruitment success. Biophysical processes within shallow coastal shelves and estuarine bodies occur across variable time and space scales ( Waldbusser and Salisbury, 2014), from hours to interannual, and forecasting how these environments will respond to climate change continues to be challenging, requiring more expansive and higher resolution coastal monitoring networks.ĭespite poor data coverage, our understanding of ocean acidification’s impact on organismal life cycles, specifically for larval and juvenile bivalves, shows these organisms experiencing physiological stress across varying levels of pCO 2, pH, and/or saturation state at levels currently observed during various periods of the year ( Waldbusser et al., 2011, 2015a Barton et al., 2012 White et al., 2013). The lack of extensive spatiotemporal sampling represents a hurdle in understanding how the dynamic coastal ocean and estuarine environments are interacting with and responding to the cascading and complex problems associated with ongoing climate change. Near-shore monitoring studies of oceanic CO 2 in the Pacific Northwest have primarily been limited to shipboard measurements in tandem with buoy observations during upwelling intervals ( van Geen et al., 2000 Ianson et al., 2003 Hales et al., 2005 Feely et al., 2008 Nemcek et al., 2008 Evans et al., 2011) while more recent work in the Columbia River, Puget Sound, and Salish Sea have introduced CO 2 data at higher spatiotemporal resolution ( Evans et al., 2013, 2019 Fassbender et al., 2018). Additionally, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and loss of global marine biomass further complicate these vital ecosystems’ health and stability and the goods and services they provide ( Rabalais et al., 2009). Enhanced nutrient loading from anthropogenically modified runoff, habitat loss, introduction of invasive species, altered freshwater flow, dredging, expanding ‘dead zones’ characterized by prolonged hypoxic episodes, and trace metal contamination represent some of the many stressors facing modern estuarine systems ( Kennish, 2002 Diaz and Rosenberg, 2008). Shallow coastal ecosystems, coral reefs, and temperate estuaries are among the most vulnerable oceanographic regimes currently threatened by exposure to elevated atmospheric CO 2 and related anthropogenic forcings ( Peirson et al., 2015). These direct measurements of pCO 2 and TCO 2 have been useful to local hatchery owners who have monitored intake waters following historic seed-production failures related to high-CO 2 conditions exacerbated by ocean acidification. The importance of in-bay processes such as net community metabolism during intervals of high productivity are apparent. Further, analysis of alkalinity-salinity relationships suggests multiple water masses inhabiting the bay during 1 year: mixing of end-members associated with direct precipitation, coastal rivers, southward displacement of the Columbia River plume, California Current surface and deep upwelled waters. Wintertime downwelling is associated with bay freshening by both local and remote sources, a strong tidal signature in salinity, TCO 2, and alkalinity, with diel pCO 2 variability much less amplified when compared to summer. Summer upwelling is associated with large amplitude diel pCO 2 variability, elevated TCO 2 and alkalinity, but weak variability in salinity. Summer upwelling, wintertime downwelling, and in situ bay biogeochemistry represent significant modes of the observed variability in carbonate system dynamics. Data collected with an autonomous continuous flow-through system installed at WCSH capable of high-resolution (1 Hz) partial pressure of aqueous CO 2 (pCO 2) and hourly total dissolved inorganic carbon (TCO 2) measurements, with combined measurement uncertainties of < 2.0% and 0.5%, respectively, is analyzed over the 2014–2019 interval. Netarts Bay is a shallow, temperate, tidal lagoon located on the northern coast of Oregon and the site of the Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery (WCSH).

After months of fighting and extraordinary losses, Russia continues to be focused on a single Ukrainian city with limited strategic value," the official said. “The bottom line is that Russia's attempted offensive has backfired. He added that Russia has made “incremental” gains in the town that has “very little strategic value.” With regards to fighting on the ground: Kirby said that “most” of Russia’s efforts have “stalled and failed” as the battle for the eastern city of Bakhmut continues. "I don't need to abide by that same sense of courtesy for the Russians - haven't done it and I ain't going to start now," he said. The official noted that it's ultimately Ukraine's decision to declassify the information and make their casualty figures public. Kirby added that the Ukrainians “are the victims here, Russia is the aggressor, and I'm simply not going to put information in the public domain that's going to, again, make it any harder for the Ukrainians." Pressed on the source of the new 100,000 figure, Kirby said it was “based on some downgraded intelligence that we’ve been able to collect.” He declined to provide information on Ukrainian casualties, noting that the US has “never” provided such information and would defer to Ukraine on the matter. Kirby called Prigozhin's comments “just a ludicrous claim.” Kirby lambasted a recent assertion from Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who said Sunday that his group had only suffered 94 casualties. Kirby, who serves as National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, noted that “nearly half” of those casualties were fighters with the Russian private company Wagner - whom CNN has reported have experienced horrific experiences on the battlefield following minimal training and little leadership. The US is defining the term “casualty” as both wounded and killed. White House official John Kirby told reporters Monday that Russia has "exhausted its military stockpiles and its armed forces" and since December, the US estimates Russia has suffered more than 100,000 casualties, including over 20,000 killed in action. Blinken called for the immediate release of detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. "Irregular" talks on detained Americans: Dialogue between the United States and Russia on the status of detained Americans has been "irregular," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday.Alexander Bogomaz, the region’s governor, wrote on Telegram that an explosive detonated 136 kilometers (84.5 miles) along the Bryansk to Unecha railway, which borders Ukraine. Explosion of railway in Russia: Video footage taken at the scene of Monday's track explosion, which caused a freight train derailment in Bryansk, Russia, shows dozens of destroyed and burned out rail cars smoldering as emergency crews put out several fires.“If talks are happening, they are happening without our knowledge or our blessing." “President Zelensky has not consented to any such discussions on Ukraine’s behalf,” a Ukrainian official close to the presidential office told CNN.
It introduced three brand new characters in LEGO – Quinlan Voss, Commander Wolffe, and Eeth Koth. In short, this was an incredibly well-priced set with an outstanding Minifigure selection, an accurate design, and an abundance of play features.īefore anything else, this set stood out with its Minifigures. When it comes to underrated Clone Wars LEGO sets, I feel like the 7964 Republic Frigate would be somewhere around the top. Minifigures: Yoda, Clone Trooper, Battle Droid x2, Super Battle Droid x3 Overall, this was a great army building set but definitely not a set that impressed with playability. If you compare it to sets in this price range from recent years, you will see why I feel it deserves to be on my list of best LEGO Clone Wars sets. The build itself is definitely not repetitive and would give you a fun experience if you manage to find the set at a good price today.Īs for the price that I mentioned above, the AAT came with a total of seven Minifigures. Overall, the design of the 2008 AAT was quite accurate both in size, build, and color scheme. It is true that we have received many versions of this set throughout the years but I will surely rank this one from 2008 among the most worthy sets price-wise and thus, it also received a spot in this list. Moving on with an older set from all the way back in 2008 – the 8018 Armored Assault Tank. Minifigures: Padme Amidala, Battle Droid, Count Dooku, Anakin Skywalker, General Grievous, Battle Droid Commander Finally, the Minifigure selection was incredible, although I believe an additional droid or two would have made this set even more enjoyable. The interior design is detailed and features some nice play functions. It included a comfortable handle that allows you to carry it around effortlessly, something often missing from larger LEGO Star Wars sets. When it comes to the Malevolence, I already mentioned how good the design was. In fact, I could have easily put this set at a higher position on my list if there weren’t so many unique sets to beat it. This set is perhaps another unpopular choice for this list but when you look at it and compare it to The Malevolence arc in The Clone Wars, you will see how accurate this set is. Minifigures: Plo Koon, Wolfpack Clone Trooper x2, Droideka With this incredible cannon and the outstanding Minifigure selection, I truly wonder why this set did not receive more attention. I believe LEGO did a perfect job in the design of the anti-vehicle cannon which we saw in the original Clone Wars movie from 2008. It could be because this set was a store exclusive in a lot of countries which is why many fans did not have the chance to purchase it. The Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon is perhaps one of the most underrated sets in the entire history of the LEGO Star Wars The Clone Wars subcategory. Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon (75045) To honor the long-anticipated last season of the incredible show, we have prepared a list of the 10 Best LEGO Star Wars The Clone Wars Sets. The movie and TV show did not just introduce countless new characters and lore but it gave us, the fans, a whole new world of collectibles, whether that be LEGO Clone Wars sets or even action figures. Over the years, the set releases never ceased, even after the show was canceled in 2014.įortunately for us, in 2019, at a time when the future of the franchise was uncertain, Disney announced the return of The Clone Wars for one final season. Luckily for fans of LEGO Star Wars, the LEGO group had already released an entire wave of LEGO Star Wars Clone Wars sets in anticipation of the inevitable success of the series. The show immediately became a fan-favorite and today, many highlight it as the best thing to happen to the franchise. When the animated series The Clone Wars premiered in 2008, a new era of Star Wars began. NVIDIA’s Control Panel is a fantastic resource, but it isn’t intended to be a monitoring tool-just a reference for the general capabilities of your GPU. How to see your actual clock speed in action To see what clock speed your GPU actually runs at, you’ll need to dig a bit deeper. This isn’t the active clock speed of your graphics card at that moment-just the default that NVIDIA defines for that particular chip. There, you’ll find the information you’re looking for. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and select “System Information” from the menu bar. If you’d like to look up the boost clock for your GPU, NVIDIA makes it easy. Still, the base and boost clocks can be helpful reference points for comparing two GPUs. This means that you’re unlikely to see your GPU running at the exact boost clock that’s listed-it can be higher or lower depending on the circumstances, and its exact value changes almost constantly. When there’s extra power available, the GPU increases its own clock speed, monitoring a wide range of data and making real-time adjustments to maximize performance. In a well-designed system, you’ll typically see such much higher GPU clocks thanks to what NVIDIA calls GPU Boost. This is the guaranteed minimum clock speed that you’ll see when you load a game or GPU-accelerated application. NVIDIA defines a base clock speed for every GPU they make. How to see the default base and boost clocks of your GPU If you’re interested in monitoring the clock speed of the GPU in your ROG laptop or graphics card, there are many free-to-use utilities that can take you under the hood and show you how your hardware is performing. That’s why many people look at a GPU’s TGP rather than its clock speed for a quick indicator of its performance, especially when they’re shopping for a gaming laptop. In the olden days, GPUs ran at a fixed wattage and clock speed, but today’s GPUs have a dynamic clock speed that adjusts in real-time to factors like load, available power, and component temperatures to give you the best performance the chip can muster at any given moment. A GPU’s clock speed is not a static, unchanging value, though. Your GPU’s clock speed is a measure of how fast the cores of the GPU operate-the higher, the better. One piece of data you might notice as you scan your hardware is the GPU clock speed of your GPU. If you’re like many gamers out there, you love to peek under the hood to see how your PC is running.

Now, whether I start Vim inside or outside of tmux, the colors appear the same. I ended up doing what did in his answer and explicitly set colorscheme ron in my ~/.vimrc file. I came across it while searching before I posted this question, but, for some reason, the color scheme didn't strike me as being relevant. I also found another question that seems to describe the same problem I'm having. (Even though this post is with respect to Ubuntu, I'm assuming the OP was using GNOME.) As the answer points out, a dark theme (which I am using) corresponds to the ron color scheme, just as I discovered above. I found an Ask Ubuntu answer that suggests that when Vim reports it is using the default color scheme, it doesn't necessarily mean default.vim but rather some theme-specific color scheme. To get the colors back to what they were when I first start Vim, I had to use the ron color scheme. If I explicitly set the color scheme using :colorscheme default when TERM=xterm-256color, Vim's appearance changes to that when TERM=screen-256color. I thought that odd because the default color scheme on Fedora 25 ( /usr/share/vim/vim80/colors/default.vim) doesn't appear to match the colors I actually see when TERM=xterm-256color. Vim reports it is using the default color scheme in both cases. Thanks to analysis of what colors Vim was outputting when TERM=screen-256color, I was inspired to look at the color scheme Vim is using in the two scenarios. In all cases, Vim continued to display different colors inside of tmux. Set -g default-terminal "screen.xterm-256color" Set -g default-terminal "screen-256color" Explicitly setting the default terminal tmux uses in ~/.nf to various values (some against the advice of the tmux FAQ):.Independent of the previous question, is it possible to have the Vim colors be consistent when running inside or outside of tmux? Some things I've tried include: Which leads to the question posed in the title: what specifically in the terminal capabilities causes the Vim colors to be different? I see the differences between running :set termcap inside and outside of tmux, but I'm curious as to which variables actually cause the difference in behavior. So that makes me believe there's simply some difference between the xterm-256color and screen-256color terminal capabilities that causes the difference in color. I can duplicate the problem outside of tmux if I run Vim with the terminal type set to screen-256color: $ TERM=screen-256color vim There are many similar questions out there regarding getting Vim to run in 256-color mode inside tmux (the best answer I found is here), but I don't think that's my problem given the above information. Vim also reports both instances are running in 256-color mode (via :set t_Co?): Vim reports these terminal types as expected (via :set term?): Below are screenshots of Vim outside (left) and inside (right) of tmux while viewing a Git diff: I recently started using tmux and have observed that the colors within Vim change depending on whether I'm running inside or outside of tmux.
