The extreme details and copying of a photo is completely unnecessary if in the end you learned nothing from it, you'll just waste your time. The reason for this is because most artist when starting out at an amateur level will simply "copy" what they see in front of them and they tend to neglect the actual learning process. (Note: Artwork below is by Mike Corriero) You're better off conceptualizing a creature design and bringing that design as far as you can go with your imagination first and only referring to relevant references later, once you have taken a design as far as it can go on your own. It's more productive if you focus on the key elements in design and incorporate what you have learned into your next drawing instead of over detailing and "copying" what is right in front of you. Well in this case, if you're trying to copy a photo down to the very last detail you're missing what's truly important. It's like reading a book, if you just skim through the pages at a rapid rate, you're not really soaking the information in. It's important to study reference so that you really observe and learn from it instead of just copying it line for line or stroke for stroke. animal photo reference is Igor Siwanowicz's Photo Gallery another one for Invertebrates is the Southeastern Regional Taxonomic Center and you might also like to check out photos by Marina Cano & The Smithsonian National Zoological Park Website. There is a game aptly titled Impossible Creatures which in my opinion is a perfect example of how NOT to use reference for designing a creature and it perfectly reflects the poor use of the Chimera effect. The Chimera is a creature and it is possible to make one that looks aesthetically pleasing and even quite plausible, but you need to fully understand anatomy to pull that off. As I mentioned before, think of the process of evolution and think of the creature as a species rather than an individual monster. In the most simplest of explanations it IS a creature but it's a poor excuse to the misunderstanding of how to blend anatomy. It's true, if you slap together various elements of multiple species that in the end you're creating something unique and it could only be considered a creature. Sowing together various animal anatomy in a cut and paste process to design what they perceive to be a creature. The biggest mistake artists make when designing a creature is the Chimera effect IE A lion's head on the body of a goat with bat wings and a snake tail. What might a mammal like a Hippo look like if it consisted of an exoskeleton and a chitinous shelled body similar to a beetle? However, understanding the rules is what makes for more believable designs. Although it's important to recognize these rules when designing creatures it's not necessary to abide by them. With such odd diversities even in regard to what seem to be simple classifications, would it be so hard to conceive of mammalian-like creatures with more than 4 limbs? Most large mammals on Earth are quadrupeds or bipeds, but this is only due to the restrictions of environment or our laws of gravity and the affects of evolution in reaction to such rules. When you take a second to think about various animals on Earth, we have birds that don't fly and spend more time in water than they do in the air, and mammals that fly and spend more time in the air than on land IE Penguins & Bats - We have mammals that without scientific evidence and observation might at first glance be considered a species of fish IE Dolphin or species of Whale. (Note: Image Copyright (c) Photographer unknown source ) The Hippo is more at home in the water than it is on land and this is where it's capable of maneuvering with little effort whereas its weight hinders its mobility on land - though they are much quicker than they would appear in short spurts. If the Hippo thought of in regard to other classifications, it might seem that it is a large amphibian considering its life style. The Hippo oddly enough is an aquatic mammal or semi aquatic mammal and then there are marine mammals like the dolphin. If we had never seen a Hippopotamus or other large mammals such as the Rhino and Elephant, they would seem so alien and strange as each have such distinct and unique physical designs IE the long flexible trunk, the long sharp horns, the enormous tusks and wide jaws. If we can't relate to a being as having derived from our own world and in regard to its intelligence or lack there of, we determine it to be a creature, alien or extraterrestrial. A creature in a film or a game is simply an animal that is other worldly or of a different reality other than our own. I'll often refer to an animal as a creature as there is no real distinction between the two nor should there be. (Note: Artwork by Zhao Chuang & Xing Lida)

Any medical condition that may compromise blood flow can impact wound healing, including vascular disease, heart disease and diabetes. The two things that impact scarring are how much inflammation is associated with the wound, which is related to how long it’s open, and the other thing is genetics.Ī healthy 20 year old is going to heal a burn wound differently from a 60 year old with heart disease and diabetes.Ĭhronic medical conditions: People who are medically complicated may have issues with wound healing or how well they do. The scar severity is going to vary from person to person. With third degree burns, there’s almost always going to be scarring. Any third degree burn should be seen in a burn center to see if it might heal with careful wound care or will require surgery. Third degree burns are the ones we worry about because they are more likely to need a skin graft. For most people, that’s as bad as it gets. What we often see is some color mismatch where the affected area doesn’t perfectly match the surrounding skin. It’s hit or miss if they are going to leave a scar. In healthy people, second degree burns should eventually heal without the need for skin grafting. You can take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication, if needed. If it does break, clean the area and apply an antibiotic ointment and cover loosely with a sterile bandage. Second degree burns need more wound care. If the second degree burn involves more than 20 percent of the body in adults or more than 10 percent of the body in children or the elderly, you’ll definitely want to seek medical care. Second degree burns can be serious, especially if they cover a large area of the body. It won’t hurt the burn but there’s no scientific evidence it helps. If you’d like, you can apply aloe vera or vitamin E. We usually treat them for comfort with an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen. First degree burns don’t actually need anything. If it’s a first degree burn, you can typically take care of it at home. Once you’ve cooled the area, assess how serious the burn is and treat it accordingly: The fat content in butter may actually deepen the injury if you haven’t cooled it thoroughly. Avoid using ice to cool the burn as extreme cold can damage the tissue. These burns can be very painful but if the nerve is damaged, they may not hurt at all.Įven before you figure out the type of burn, the first thing you’ll want to do is stop the burning process by running cold water over the burn.

The origins of the “chav” term were undoubtedly derogatory, and while it has been somewhat reclaimed, many of the videos posted on TikTok could be considered to be mocking working-class stereotypes. Just how acceptable some of these parodies are is questionable.

They are often backed by music associated with the “charva” stereotype, such as drum and bass and UK garage. TikTok’s commercial sound library is available on both the app and your desktop browser. TikTokers have been posting these parodies with the “keep it lemon” caption, with the first one being traced back to February this year. People will parody the subculture by wearing clothing brands like Stone Island and Nike and doing what has become known as the “charva point” – a photo pose in which people point across their bodies. The phrase is part of the “charva” subculture – a lengthened version of the slang term “chav” which originated as a derogatory term for young, working-class British people in the 2000s, that has experienced something of a resurgence – as has people parodying it.Ĭharva memes have grown in popularity over the past year or so, particularly on TikTok. 43k in a week Thanks restock refill asmr sound sounds spedup pantryorganization pantryrestock ConjuringHorror TeamUSATryout goldfish. GAAP permits companies to capitalize purchases that are needed to bring the fixed asset to a usable state. In order to simplify the decision, GAAP states that purchases must have a useful life of more than one year to be capitalized as assets to simplify the decision. Whether a $50 printer you purchase is an expense or an asset is a matter of debate. When a company makes a purchase, it can be challenging to determine whether to classify it as an asset or an expense. On the other hand, expenses require consuming assets, such as cash, to produce goods or deliver services. Time Frame to decide on capital classificationĪccording to the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which lays down the rules for GAAP, assets are those purchases/expenses that have a possible future benefit. What are the criteria for capitalization of fixed assets as per GAAP? 1. Anything that doesn’t fit this criterion cannot be capitalized.Īssets look better than expenses on a financial statement and therefore companies are always looking to capitalize as many expenses as possible. GAAP defines an asset as something a company owns or controls whose benefit extends into the future. These are a set of principles that guide a company on what a company can capitalize on and how it chooses to do so. Financial accountants of companies follow the US generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP. It not only enhances the company’s value by putting more assets on the balance sheet, but it also improves profit by reducing expenses. “Capitalizing” a cost allows a company to report that cost as an asset rather than as an expense. In that case, fixed assets must be recorded according to GAAP standards and grouped into appropriate categories for the company’s business model. The company must have accurate GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) accounting to have the correct balance sheet. That’s why we have put together this guide to ensure that you know how to capitalize your fixed assets according to GAAP standards. It’s a complicated topic and there are many different ways businesses can handle it. If you are unsure of the standards for capitalizing fixed assets, you’re not alone.

In the summer of 2016, I began installing QRS player systems in grand pianos, a nifty system bringing you back to the old times when pianos could play themselves. In addition to my own business, I had the privilege to work with several piano stores, including My First Piano and Riverton Piano. Over the course of eight years, my business grew across the metro area tuning in homes, churches, and other venues. During that time, I was privileged to work with the former president of the Piano Technicians Guild, Nashville Chapter, to fine-tune my skills.īianchi Piano was born in 2013 in Phoenix, Arizona, focusing on tuning and repairs. I pursued studies as a piano technician and was certified by the American School of Piano Tuning just before my eighteenth birthday. Six months later I acquired my first set of tuning tools. When my parents saw I was serious about it, they surprised me with an upright. After that night, I was determined to conquer the art of playing the piano. He taught us how to play the melody of one of our favorite hymns we sang every week at church. One evening, a good family friend sat on the floor with my sister, me, and a cheap electric keyboard. My musical journey began when I was twelve. I enjoy hiking, gardening, hot cocoa on a crisp winter day, remodeling homes, woodworking projects, and almost anything Christmas. So, obviously, I thought I have to get it tuned and then it struck me like a voice from a cloud saying, "YOU tune this piano.YOU will do it.Perhaps I was destined to be a piano tuner since my last name is pronounced ‘be-on-key.’ I was playing my (by the way it is a white upright, which you don't see too many of these days) piano and noticing several of the notes were not sounding like they could or should, it seemed to me. Over the course of time I had it tuned quit regularly and it's with one of these times when it needed tuned that I received inspiration to " tune it myself". I bought the next piano "new" (no mileage as they say) this time and learned to play on it pretty-good and so did one of my daughters. Now, in our new home it wasn't long before I decided I wanted another piano besides we had room for it this time. In time me and my family bought another house that was much bigger and my sister wanted the old piano so I gave it to her. That being said, let me now tell you how my business got it's very humble beginning. Needless-to-say, my wife was "not" impressed but the kids and I had a great time learning to play the piano. Once inside it took up so much room that one of the living room chairs had to be taken away. How small you ask? So small that we had to take two doors off the house in order to get it inside. Now, as I said I had a small house at the time. Of course, back then I didn't know a thing about pianos: how to play them, how to tune them or how to tweak the action of them.īut, I did purchase this heavy monster and me and a couple of friends loaded it on a half-ton truck and brought it to my place. The long and the short of it is that I won the auction and paid something like $400 for a worn out upright piano that was about 100 years old. So, I went to the auction with the intention of out-bidding everyone for that piano. That caught my attention as I had been playing around with the piano at my own Church at the time but was sick of going out of the house every time I wanted to practice. I remember I lived in a wee small house with my wife and our two small children and there was an auction at a local Church and one of the items was a full upright acoustic piano. I was 40 years old when I really got the bug. I began playing piano about 32 years ago. The above paragraph was necessary to show you how this business began but there is more to it than that. Hello shock!! Others followed, of course, but I had this little business going called Duane's Piano Tuning & Technology that I started in 2013 so off I went to employ myself at that. The third owner moved in and announced ten minutes after I met the man on the very first day that I would be let go or really forced into retirement. That is until the company was sold, not once but twice, in the span of about three years. I could say "what a jail-sentence" but at first it wasn't all that bad. At this factory I was a Foreman (22 years) then a kitchen Cabinet Design Expert (21 years) all for the same firm in my home town of Minto, New Brunswick.Īll tolled that was 43 years straight ahead. I am retired from my job that I held in a factory that manufactured kitchen cabinets and counter-tops. Thank you for taking the time to read this. The next few lines are written so that you may get to know me a little and understand my journey to this point.

After a server restart, the number of free customizations in an outfit can change, changing the outfit's fraise price.įashion Squad outfits can't contain cheese-only or reward items. You aren't charged for items you already own, and some discounts will be given for purchasing the whole outfit. These pre-made outfits are only available for a week before they are replaced with new ones every Tuesday. The Fashion Squad makes outfits that can be purchased from the shop since 29 August 2016 ( V1.330). The shaman marking color is saved for each outfit. This feature was added by community request on 25 September 2013 ( V1.107). Outfits were added in the shop to quickly change between designs. When the feature was added, you could make up to 20 outfits. If a player who has gifted you is banned for payment fraud, the items (and fur badges, if applicable) which that player gifted are removed. If you chargeback a fraise purchase transaction you made on Steam, you are permanently blocked from gifting items. You need to have spent at least 20 hours on the game, have bought a fur for yourself at least 15 days ago (with the exception of furs formerly known as Colors), gathered 200 cheese and have registered your email. This does not work on items you've purchased for yourself (therefore meaning you cannot use gifting as a means to "discard" items).

Having both red and green lightsabers (which are the same except for color) is a byproduct of this early constraint.
