![]() And even if they took some of the elements of the original film and made it new, that would be amazing.ĭon’t get me wrong, I see both sides of the story when it comes to the Disney versus Scarlett Johansson situation, but I really wanted a Tower of Terror movie in 2022 (or 2023 whatever). Maybe it is just me, but I was looking forward to a fresh take on this iconic ride. It’s a sad day for fans of the Tower of Terror Disney ride and potential film fans What do you expect from a late 90s TV movie from Disney? It wasn’t the thrills and chills we want from a modern Tower of Terror movie. It was a made-for-TV movie and it was all about the Wonderful World of Disney programming. ![]() Tower of Terror in 1997 was a chance to give both Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst a chance to shine if you will. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the original movie for what it was. The sad thing about this news is that this means we are losing a new attempt at getting a revamped Tower of Terror movie. Why you may ask? Because now the film is canceled too.Īccording to WDW News Today, following the news that the actress was suing Disney over Black Widow profits, “Disney is cutting all ties with the actress and canceling projects involving her.” (Is anyone surprised by this at all? I know I’m not.) ![]() Now that Disney is cutting ties with Scarlett Johansson, Tower of Terror fans are out of luck. (Illustration by Disneyland Resort via Getty Images) Guests will experience multiple, random and unique ride profiles in which the rise and fall of the gantry lift rocks to the beat of music inspired by the film's popular soundtrack. The new attraction will transform the structure currently housing "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" into an epic new adventure, enhancing the breathtaking free fall sensation with new visual and audio effects to create a variety of ride experiences. Guests will board a gantry lift which launches them into a daring adventure as they join Rocket Raccoon in an attempt to set free his fellow Guardians.

To those in the Northern Hemisphere, enjoy the beginning of milder weather and say hello to early sunsets and late sunrises. The September equinox is a time that welcomes Earthlings to a new season. ![]() Solstices are commonly referred to as the longest (summer solstice) or shortest (winter solstice) day of the year. Solstices are when the Sun appears to reach the lowest or highest point in the sky all year they mark the beginning of summer or winter. Astronomical seasons are marked by the equinoxes and solstices that each happen twice a year. Meteorologists group the seasons into time periods that line up with the weather and monthly calendar: December through February is winter, March through May is spring, June through August is summer, and September through November is fall.

As Earth orbits around the Sun, the angle of sunlight that the Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive is different. Seasons are caused by Earth’s tilted axis which always points in the same direction. The opposite is true in the Southern Hemisphere where the days begin to last longer. Following the autumnal equinox, the Sun gradually continues to rise later and set earlier in the Northern Hemisphere – making the days shorter and the nightfall longer.

When light enters the eye, these clumps get in the way and cast shadows onto the retina. The collagen fibres within the vitreous humour also begin to clump together and can float freely in the now-watery surroundings. It then starts to degenerate with age, and its consistency becomes less gelatinous and more liquid. ![]() Once we reach adulthood, formation of the vitreous is complete. The vitreous humour is a jelly-like substance, made up mostly of water along with small amounts of salts, sugars, collagen and proteins. Light travels through the lens to the retina, where it is transmitted to the brain for processing into the image that you see.īefore the light gets to the retina, it has to travel through a transparent viscous fluid that sits between the two structures and fills the back of the eye – this fluid is called the vitreous humour. The lens is at the front of the eye and the retina is at the back of the eye. To understand what an eye floater is, you need to know some basics about how the eye works. They can look like dots, flecks, threads, cobwebs or even clear little bubbles."įloaters are caused by shadows and are common with age. "Floaters come in various shapes and sizes. If you’re experiencing floaters, it’s important to get your eyes checked. However, while floaters themselves are not harmful, they can be a sign of a more serious condition. It is rare that an eye floater will significantly impair vision, and the majority of people can learn to live with them. While they may be annoying, eye floaters are generally harmless. And it’s common to have several floaters of different shapes and sizes at the same time. They can look like dots, flecks, threads, cobwebs or even clear little bubbles. If you try to focus your vision on them, they may seem to move or float about.įloaters come in various shapes and sizes. ![]() ![]() Floaters are particularly obvious when looking at a clear sky or a white wall. As you look around, they follow your eye movements and drift through your field of vision, often with a slight delay. Eye floaters are tiny spots or threads in your vision. ![]() Read our shipping container size guide for more. Standard sizes for shipping container pools vary with the type of shipping container, but the most common options are 10ft, 20ft and 40ft. They are perfect for small backyards and can be installed within a day. Shipping container pools are among the cheapest pool ideas. Many people prefer rectangular pools as they provide the maximum amount of swimming space for the area (unlike freeform pools with curves). Depth is usually around 1.5-1.7 metres, with a deep end and a shallow end. Typical sizes include 9m x 4m, 8m x 4m, 7m x 4m, and 6m x 3m. Medium rectangular pools are the most common pool type for Australian families. See here for an analysis of the best poolside materials. Often fibreglass pools will be freeform as the material allows for design flexibility. This is because they usually have irregular shapes and corners that are fitted to the backyard landscape. There are no standard sizes for freeform pools. They can be either an above ground or inground pool and are popular with people who like relaxation and exercise. They are usually 5-6m (length) x 2-2.5m (width). In fact, many are made with steel frames.Ī spa pool is a typical heated pool with the facilities of a spa. ![]() Don’t be fooled by the stigma – above ground pools can be just as durable as inground. Above ground plunge pools are also quite common, such as the concrete cylindrical plunge pool pictured above. The sizes of above ground pools vary greatly, but they are usually smaller than the average rectangular pool (less than 7m x 4m). You will save thousands on the excavation and installation, and most of the time you can even take them with you if you move house. ![]() To help you narrow down which pool type and size is best for you, here is an overview of the most common backyard swimming pool specs.Ībove ground pools are a quick and easy way to get a private pool without having to break the bank. It is best to take a comprehensive look at each option before making a decision. Big pools such as an Olympic swimming pool can hold as many as 2.5 million litres of water.Īll of these options may seem a little daunting at first. You can use a pool volume calculator to figure out how much water your pool will require in litres. The average 9m x 4m pool will contain about 61,200 litres. There are a few extra metrics to think about, such as how many litres in a pool. Standard swimming pool dimensions chart by type Australia Such pools include plunge pools, lap pools, spa pools, above-ground pools, freeform pools and shipping container pools. If it seems like the pool size you’ve chosen will take up too much of the backyard, consider downsizing to a type of pool that is designed for small backyards. It can be tricky to squeeze a typical rectangular pool into a backyard if there is no space leftover for decking, a garden, or grass. As a general rule of thumb, you want to have at least 2 square metres of backyard space per person in the household. The first, and most obvious, is the size of your backyard. There are a few things to consider when debating on pool size. ![]() They are often not that much more expensive than a standard sized pool – freeform pools will usually cost anywhere between $15,000-$20,000, but you could likely find a simple style for around $5,000. A freeform pool might leave more room for a deck, garden, patio or even just more grass space. They can be shaped to curve around backyard or landscaping features, giving homeowners the flexibility to build the exact environment they want. Depth recommendations are difficult to pin down as plunge pools are often much deeper than a standard rectangular pool (to compensate for the lack of length/width).įreeform pools are also fairly common in Australian backyards. Other pools such as plunge pools have their own standard dimensions relative to type for a plunge pool, the standard size is 2m-7m long x 2m-3m wide. The most common types of pools are medium-sized rectangular pools, which have the above standard dimensions. There are a number of different pool categories that classify differences in shape, size, purpose, design and material. However, these dimensions will vary greatly depending on the type of the pool. For an average Aussie family, the ideal pool size would be 9m (length) x 4m (width) x 1.7m (depth). In a larger pool area of 21 square metres, the standard pool size would be 7m x 4m, and in 32 SQM area the standard pool size is 8m x 4m. A common pool area size in Australia is 18 metres squared, which would make the standard pool size 6m x 3m. The standard size of a pool often depends on the size of the area where it is to be installed. What is the standard pool size in Australia?

There are plenty of self-tutorials, classes, books, and videos available via open sources to help you learn to use regular expressions. It is a skill set that’s quick to pick up and master, and learning it can take your Splunk skills to the next level. ![]() Using regex can be a powerful tool for extracting specific strings. Would be nice to have the value prefaced with 'card' for human readability. Use to practice your RegEx: Figure 5 – a practice search entered into We’re Your Regex(pert) This should stay in hex, but preferably each octet should be delimited with colons and prefaced with 'MAC' (e.g. Syntax for the command: | rex field=field_to_rex_from “FrontAnchor(? = searches for digits that are 1-3 in length, separated by periods.

The available options are as follows: Font The text tool options are normally found below the toolbox. You can use other tools with your text, such as the Move tool to change the text’s location. Layers are a very useful aspect of image-editing that we’ll get into more later. You should note that a new layer is created for each text box populated. Both the text and its style can be changed. You can change your text at any time in a Gimp file by clicking on the text (with the text tool activated). There is a text editor available - activated via a check box on the text tool options - which allows you to type in your text and style it all in a single box. ![]() (The baseline is the line on which the letters sit, and the kerning adjusts space between letters.) The text option dialog box allows you to change the text font, size, baseline, kerning, color and style (remove all style, bold, italic, underline, strike-through). You will notice that each time you click to create a new text box, a text option dialog box will appear directly above it.

Text and images are pretty much polar opposites, but quite often they intersect - usually in the form of text being used in images. ![]() Widest range of power settings and transfer times Comparison of Western Blotting Transfer Systems Filter papers and membranes are pre-wet and packaged in single-use packages, simplifying assembly of the transfer stack. Transfer conditions must be optimized for proteins of different molecular weights, e.g., to prevent under-transfer (incomplete transfer of proteins out of the gel) or over-transfer (loss of proteins passing completely through the membrane).Ī recent development, these systems utilize specialized apparatus that use proprietary filter papers and specialized buffers to rapidly and efficiently transfer proteins. Both the voltage and the distance between the electrodes then play a major role in governing the rate of elution of the proteins from the gel. The electric field strength (measured in V/cm) that is generated between the electrodes is the driving force for transfer. ![]() Voltage is applied between the electrodes and proteins migrate to the membrane following the current that is generated by the applied voltage across the electrodes. During this process, the membrane and gel are placed together, with filter paper between two electrodes. The most common method of transfer in western blotting is electrophoretic transfer, where an electric field is used to elute proteins from gels and transfer them to membranes. After staining with carbol fuchsin, acid-fast and non-acid-fast bacteria both appear the color fuchsia (a pinky-purple color).Gel and Membrane Setup for Electrophoretic Transfer Acid-fast bacteria and non-acid-fast bacteria begin transparent. In addition, the stain is used to determine the presence of acid-fast bacteria from lung tissue in patients undergoing antibiotic therapy.įigure 1: Diagram shows how cells change color during the steps of the acid-fast stain by comparing acid-fast bacteria and non-acid-fast bacteria. Because of this feature, this stain is extremely helpful in identification in diseases caused by acid-fast bacteria, particularly tuberculosis and leprosy. The decolorized non-acid-fast cells then take up the counterstain, which in our case is methylene blue.Īcid-fastness is an uncommon characteristic shared by the genera Mycobacterium and Nocardia (weakly acid-fast). The smear is then rinsed with a very strong decolorizer (acid-alcohol), which strips the stain from all non-acid-fast cells but does not permeate the cell wall of acid-fast organisms. Steam helps to loosen up the waxy layer and promotes entry of the primary stain inside the cell. This is further assisted by the addition of heat in the form of heat (steam). The primary stain used in acid fast staining, carbol fuchsin, is lipid-soluble and contains phenol, which helps the stain penetrate the cell wall. Non-acid fast bacteria will also take up the carbol fuchsin, but the acid alcohol decolorizer will remove it from wall since the primary dye does not bind strongly to the cell wall. Once in, it will not come out: But the acid-alcohol decolorizer will take it out of the non-acid fast cell walls since the primary dye does not bind strongly to the cell wall. Steam is used to get the carbol fuchsin primary dye to go into the cell wall. They are usually characterized using the acid-fast staining procedure. Acid-fast bacteria stain poorly with the Gram stain procedure, appearing weakly Gram-positive or Gram-variable. The phenol in the carbol fuchsin facilitates the dye going into the waxy wall of the bacterium. The ability of the bacteria to resist decolorization with acid-alcohol confers acid-fastness to the bacterium. Although difficult to stain, once the stain goes into the cell wall, the cell will not de-stain or decolorize easily. Acid-fast bacteria, of which there are very few-the major genus Mycobacterium, have a high concentration of mycolic acid, a lipid, in their cell walls. This type of cell wall is resistant to most compounds, therefore acid-fast microorganisms require a special staining technique. Acid-fast microorganisms are characterized by wax-like, nearly impermeable cell walls they contain mycolic acid and large amounts of fatty acids, waxes, and complex lipids. \)Īcid fast stain is a differential stain used to identify acid-fast organisms such as members of the genus Mycobacterium.
