![]() When you run jstest (try to not touch the joystick or exit quickly with Ctrl-C, as it appears at the top and, on my system, disappears quickly,) look at the reported name (mine says "Joystick (Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D) has 6 axes and 12 buttons.", so the name is "Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D") and put that at the top of the correct joystick file (FG_ROOT/data/Input/Joysticks/Saitek/X45.xml) if it's not already there (sorry, somewhere someone posted the location the default build puts it, but I couldn't find it. ![]() Once jstest reports that the values range correctly (-32767 to 32767,) you've done everything correct. This re-calibrates the joystick to the specified settings at startup. # Calibrate joystick 1 (should be the Wingman, may need fixing) # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. Here's the contents of mine (I have two joysticks, so I am calibrating /dev/input/js1, but js0 is autocalibrated.) Thus, add the command to the end of the /etc/rc.local, before the line "exit 0". Then run the output (it should be a command.) This should be run at startup, as the joystick must be calibrated each time the computer boots. Once you calibrate, run the command "jscal -p js0". This probably needs to be corrected, as that's weird for a throttle axis. What I mean is, it asks for a high-low-center (it might be a different order,) but you need to find the high and low numbers (it displays them during calibration) and average them. If the values are 0 when the controls are centered and (for me) range from -32767 to 32767, you're good to go (some joysticks autocalibrate.) If not, you'll have to calibrate with the command "jscal -c js0".Īs a hint when calibrating, for throttle, look at the number displayed when it is at the low and high values and average that for the center position, because it does not know what to do with throttles. You can usually find it as /dev/input/js0 (that's for my first joystick.) Change the directory to /dev/input to make the tools easier to use. Unfortunately, these are command line tools.įirst, you have to find your joystick. I don't recall if it came with Ubuntu 9.04, but you can find some useful joystick tools in the "joystick" package accessible via Synaptic. My PC has a dual-core 3.6Ghz Intel CPU and 1GB of RAM (hoping to upgrade that soon!), with an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS graphics card. Put another way, whilst I'm not a Linux newbie, I'm not a Linux expert either. I've been using Linux for quite a few years, but whilst I'm not scared of the command line, I prefer not to use it unless I really have to - I prefer doing things with computers rather than to them, in essence. Jsdemo evidently isn't in any path that my system expects it to be, and frankly, I'm not sure where FlightGear itself is, I haven't been able to spot it in the Home, USR, OPT or VAR directories.Īny advice on how to proceed would be most welcome.

![]() Gidget’s feline masquerade and her mission to reclaim the chew toy are lots of fun. Add in a chase on the roof of a train and a man being run into by a car (twice) and this film is far too violent for the younger audience it’s aimed at.Īnd that’s unfortunate because the first two plots are entertaining. His security monkey throws knives at Snowball, flips him on the ground, and chases him with flaming torches. ![]() The owner of the circus (voiced by Nick Kroll) whips the tiger, shoots him with a tranquilizer gun, threatens him with a revolver and a taser, repeatedly vows to turn animals into coats or rugs, and sets wolves on other animals. I assumed this movie was aimed at young children, but there is far too much violence in this plot for kids. And this plot is where the movie goes over the cliff. Snowball the rabbit (voiced loudly and irritatingly by Kevin Hart) is convinced he is a superhero and gets recruited by Daisy (voiced by Tiffany Haddish) to rescue a lion cub from a circus where he is being mistreated. Watching Chloe train Gidget to masquerade as a cat is another laugh out loud scene in the filmĪs if juggling two plots isn’t enough, this production adds a third, which is probably one too many for young viewers. So, she turns to Chloe (voiced by Lake Bell), a sardonic neighboring feline, and asks for instruction in The Way of the Cat. The resident horde of cats hiss menacingly when Gidget tries to retrieve it. To her horror, it lands in an apartment owned by a crazy cat lady. Gidget (voiced by Jenny Slate), the fluffy neighbor dog, who has been entrusted with Max’s beloved chew toy, manages to drop it down the fire escape. Max isn’t alone in a perilous world…his fellow apartment dwellers are facing their own challenges. (The scene in the waiting room is one of the funniest in the movie.) And then, when the family heads off for a family vacation to a farm, Max is forced to confront a whole new set of potential dangers. Max’s owner takes him to the vet, where he is fitted with a “cone of shame” to stop his stress-induced compulsive scratching. Max’s anxiety really takes off when his owner marries and has a baby, giving Max a consuming need to protect the infant from all dangers, real or imagined. The film opens with Max (voiced by Patton Oswalt), the lovable and mildly neurotic star of the prequel. The antics these animals get up to during the day are enough to prevent any pet owner from ever leaving home again. ![]() If you’re the doting owner of a “fur baby”, you might not want to watch The Secret Life of Pets 2. This new addition to the Starbucks lineup came out of the gate hot. Less sweet than its sister drink, this is a great option for those who want a taste of apple pie - without the blood sugar spike. But the flavors are a little more muted, allowing the creamy oat milk and warm cinnamon notes to shine. Again, the bright blonde espresso pairs perfectly with the apple flavor in this drink. The Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso features the same flavorings, espresso and milk as the macchiato, but it’s shaken instead of layered. This comforting, warm slice is not a stand-out of the group, but is sure to satisfy. When paired with a fall drink, this is a great addition to your morning lineup. The dense, sweet pumpkin spice flavor compliments the slight crunch of the seeds on top. ![]() Starbucks’ pumpkin bread has long held a special place in customers’ hearts. For those not on the pumpkin spice train, this drink is a great option. Starbucks’ choice to combine blonde espresso and warm brown sugar balances the notes of crisp granny smith perfectly and the apple flavor isn’t too sweet. The Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato combines blonde espresso, oat milk and notes of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar. However, I can assure you there are better options awaiting you. If you’re not looking to expand your fall flavor horizons, you won’t be disappointed by this latte. While the strong pumpkin and cinnamon flavors are always delicious, this staple is a little too simple for my taste. Offered hot or iced, the latte is a safe option. Placing the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte second-to-last might be shocking, but nostalgia is no longer cutting it. Even with the beak and ears, it isn’t a special enough pastry to push it past the bottom spot. The only piece of the pop that exudes fall is the owl-like decoration. While cake pops might be a Starbucks staple, this vanilla cake pop with vanilla frosting does not add to the fall menu whatsoever. Are you deciding whether to stick with the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte or branch out? Here’s a list of menu items I think are worth the money, ranked from the most underwhelming to simply superb. As we round out the first month of the 2023 lineup, there are some new items working their way into customers’ hearts. ![]() Starbucks is arguably best known for its extensive - and delicious - fall menu offerings.

Mineral powder blushers are also available, but since skin already tends to have a lot of color, go easy on cheek color if you use it at all. Dust a yellow-toned mineral powder over foundation, or use it over your protective base instead of foundation to help further tone down the look of redness. There are also innovative mineral powder formulas specifically formulated to color-correct redness. Mineral makeup is often a good choice for skin with rosacea, as it typically doesn't contain potentially irritating ingredients. Available in a choice of formulations with UVA and UVB sun protection and a wide array of tones to match your natural skin color, they can thoroughly conceal many types of skin imperfections to create a flawless look.Įxplore the benefits of mineral powder. Especially for those with moderate to severe rosacea, cover-corrective cosmetics may be an appropriate option. You can hide bumps or visible blood vessels by dabbing and blending concealer directly onto each area, then using foundation all over to create a more even tone.Ĭonsider cover-corrective makeup. Use an antibacterial concealer brush to lightly dot concealer under your eyes, starting at the inner corner and working outward. Use the edge of the brush to reach narrow areas: nose, mouth, eyes and hairline. Use broad strokes for large areas of the face: cheeks, forehead and chin. For cream or powder foundation, sweep the brush across the surface of the compact and apply to your face. Dab with the brush and smooth over your face, starting in the center and blending outward. For brush application, start by applying a small amount of liquid foundation to the back of your hand. You may want to use an antibacterial foundation brush to apply it rather than a sponge (too harsh for skin) or your fingertips (can add unnecessary oil to the face). Use a light touch when applying foundation. Foundation should match your natural skin tone as closely as possible, while concealer should be just one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. And for both foundation and concealer, choose your shade carefully. Look for an oil-free foundation that offers the level of coverage you need, from sheer to full. A protective base has another bonus, too: it helps your makeup last longer.Ĭhoose oil-free foundation and concealer. Get one with UVA/UVB protection and you'll help shield skin from exposure that can aggravate rosacea. A sheer green-tinted primer is a good choice for a makeup base - it can help visually correct redness and even out skin tone. Avoid any products that burn, sting or irritate your skin. Always test a new product in a peripheral area - your neck, your arm - before using it on your face to make sure your skin doesn't react to it. That's why it may be helpful to use multi-function products, such as a green-tinted base that also contains sunscreen. ![]() The more ingredients and products you apply to your skin, the higher the likelihood that an ingredient or product may aggravate it. Standard Management Options for Rosacea Patient HandoutĮffective use of cosmetics can reduce the. ![]() Its versatility makes it a very popular shape and most artists working in oil or acrylic will certainly have a number of filberts – if not just the one essential one – in their brush collection. Turned on its side, it can produce a thin line or, when swivelled in mid stroke, gives a tapered line. The main brush stroke produced is broad but with a soft, subtle top line allowing marks to instantly blend with previously laid down marks. However, based on shape, I think a more fitting title should have been ‘tombstone’. The filbert gets its name from its supposed resemblance to the nut of the filbert tree – a type of hazlenut – which in turn gets its name from Saint Philibert on whose feast day the ripening of the nut coincides. It is probably the most versatile of the brush shapes and a staple of oil and acrylic painting. When choosing a flat, look at the brush head and compare the width of the brush to the length of hair to enable you to judge whether the range suits your style of painting.Ī Filbert is a flat brush with the hair rounded into an oval at the tip. One is that there are no standard brush sizes so one manufacturer’s long flat may be very similar to another’s short flat and the other is that the ‘Short’ and ‘Long’ title in no way refers to the length of the handle – it just describes the brush head. There are two things to note about flats. The bright, with its shorter hair, is more suited to ‘dabbing’ marks such as used by the Impressionists, offers more control for detail and can withstand being ‘scrubbed’ into the surface. The long flat carries more paint and, because of the longer hair, has flexibility for more flourished marks. There are two-types of flat brush – a long flat with quite long hair protruding from the ferrule and a short flat, otherwise known as a bright, which has shorter hair. Flat brushesĪ Flat Brush has a row of hair clamped flat in the ferrule and trimmed square across the top edge to create a rectangular brush head. Water-carrying properties of a Sable BrushĪlso useful for filling in larger areas. Varying pressure on the brush head produces tapered marks Even today, with a whole host of brush shapes available, the round is the one that you’re likely to be given as a child in your first paint set and the brush type that will be supplied with more advanced sets.Ī round can be used in a number of ways such as to fill, to draw, to apply washes, to spot on small amounts of colour from the tip or produce a thin line for detail and varying thick to thin marks by drawing the brush away from the surface. Part of the reason for this is that, for several centuries, brush-making technology was based on the quill and, in using a tube as the starting point of the construction, Round brushes were all that could be produced. Round brushesĪsk people to draw an artist’s paint brush and most will probably draw a round brush – a slender handle with a fat, round head tapering to a fine point. Today, there are many different shapes – some more necessary than others – but the round, flat and filbert remain the most essential types. The Impressionists embraced this new development in brush making and turned the art world on its head with the new mark-making options that the new shapes offered. However, once metal ferrules were introduced in the 19th century, brushes could be produced in various shapes, most notably, the flat and the filbert. For several centuries, brushes could only be round due to their construction being based on the quill of a feather. ![]() The work was originally simply titled Comedìa ( pronounced, Tuscan for "Comedy") – so also in the first printed edition, published in 1472 – later adjusted to the modern Italian Commedia. In the poem, the pilgrim Dante is accompanied by three guides: Virgil, who represents human reason, and who guides him for all of Inferno and most of Purgatorio Beatrice, who represents divine revelation in addition to theology, grace, and faith and guides him from the end of Purgatorio onwards and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who represents contemplative mysticism and devotion to Mary the Mother, guiding him in the final cantos of Paradiso. Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in verse". Dante draws on medieval Catholic theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy derived from the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas. Allegorically, the poem represents the soul's journey towards God, beginning with the recognition and rejection of sin ( Inferno), followed by the penitent Christian life ( Purgatorio), which is then followed by the soul's ascent to God ( Paradiso). The poem discusses "the state of the soul after death and presents an image of divine justice meted out as due punishment or reward", and describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. It helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval worldview as it existed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It is widely considered the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature. 1308 and completed around 1321, shortly before the author's death. ![]() In the Divine Comedy, Dante sees Ciacco among the Shades in the Mire.The Divine Comedy ( Italian: Divina Commedia Italian pronunciation: ) is an Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. ![]() ![]()
This holds true with the things you let into your life. The metaphor here is that if you start with putting sand into the jar, you will not have room for rocks or pebbles.

This means that if the pebbles and the sand were lost, the jar would still be full and your life would still have meaning.
