![]() Writing approximately 2,000 words every day doesn’t usually result in good prose. NaNoWriMo novels are seldom good (though there are some exceptions – a few, heavily edited, have made it into publication). It’s worth noting that if you have a brilliant idea for what may well become the defining novel of the 21st century, NaNoWriMo is probably not the occasion to write it. There’s no reward if you win, except the satisfaction of having written a novel, and adulation among the large online community of writers who gather every year to take part. It’s a challenge to write a 50,000-word novel – so about the length of Of Mice And Men – in thirty days. Try the challenge of National Novel Writing MonthĮvery November, tens of thousands of people across the world take part in the National Novel Writing Month – usually shortened to NaNoWriMo. That’s why, in this article, we’ve taken a look at some fun and interesting creative writing challenges that will put your abilities to the test, and maybe help you develop as a writer at the same time. It’s all very well to decide to challenge yourself, but sitting down in front of your laptop – or notepad, if you’re a traditionalist – and expecting a challenge to emerge can be a little optimistic. And writing the same things in the same style and the same genre that you always do will only get you so far trying something challenging, rather than something comfortable, is the best way to make progress.īut trying to figure out what form that challenge might be can be trickier. Like any skill from playing the violin to running marathons, the more time you put into practising your writing, the better it will become. Then you probably already know that the key to scintillating dialogue, brilliant prose and beautiful poetry is many long hours of practice. You can also use the hashtag #BWriterChallenge in Instagram and Pinterest to see my own prompts and how others are going.Do you want to hone your creative writing skills? Post your results below, or let me know how you go on social media. The Bad Stepmother or vice versa: The Bad Stepfather or The Nice Stepmother….The God of Light, Lúgh from Celtic Mythology, and his many marriages….The Busy Writer’s 30 Day Writing Challenge For AugustĪnd a list for good measure, with a few extra details, and two extra prompts, bringing it to a total of 32 Prompts for August: I’d love to see what you come up with.Īnd they are short - to give you a nice heading for the centre of your BuJo page to write around… I’m going for something like this:Ī post shared by pepper and twine on at 6:43pm PDT But even if they are to you brainstorm around these prompts, see what you come up with, or go for a straight up free-write. I picked some of them, especially because they Were Not familiar to me. Now some of these prompts are names of known fairy tales which may be familiar to you. Since it is August and the 5th, I’m starting from August 1, with a few days to catch up on, and you’ll get those in the next few days) And since it’s August, and I just love my fairy tales, this month’s prompts are going to be focused around fairy tales, mythology and my favourite Celtic legends. So, I create this list, firstly for myself, and if you also happen to like them, then I’m creating them for you also □ But I think daily writing to a creative prompt is better for me. I used to practice Julia’s Morning Pages religiously and filled up many a notebook. It is about writing every day making creative writing and “Everyday” habit or ritual. The Morning Pages influence here, is the idea of writing every day, one to three pages, or however many you want. Technically, this writing prompt challenge doesn’t follow the ‘Morning Pages’ format or rules. Cameron also discusses it in her recommended book: The Right to Write (affiliate link btw). It’s the writing of 3 pages of your notebook, first thing in the morning, in a stream of consciousness style. Morning Pages was made popular by author and artist Julia Cameron in her popular book The Artist’s Way. If you do join in, use #BWriterChallenge in Instagram and Pinterest, so I can see what you’re up to. ![]() And I’m hoping you might join me:) Let’s see if this takes off, hey?! I will post my results to Instagram and Pinterest, so I am being held accountable. I know I’ve admitted at my resistance to writing sometimes, and this is my way out of it - this time - a beautiful BuJo way to get some bloody words down even if it kills me, plus with pretty pens and colours and stuff:) A post shared by Kara ?

![]() HFSS makes it really simple and fast to simulate antenna performance using lumped element components. This would be an advanced topic and would require a more sophisticated solver like HFSS, FEKO, or CST in order to simulate and predict performance. The lumped element values can be used rounded to the nearest realizable value or converted to your waveguide of choice like microstrip for trace antennas and implemented without the need for components. What about matching at higher frequencies? If you’re wondering, select-on-test just means exactly what it implies: manufacture a bunch of tuned variations, and select the one that performs the best. If your device is difficult to tune after assembly such as embedded antennas in some dielectric materials, it’s probably best to create a tuning table and select-on-test as an optimization strategy. If we simulate this design, we will see that a 1 m line introduces a 5 ns delay. In this post, the open-source tool Qucs and the commercial electromagnetic solver HFSS is used to chose the lumped element components to match an antenna. A Qucs Tutorial for RF Transmission Lines Pere Pal-Schnwlder February. There’s a couple ways to optimize the performance of a low frequency antenna (ie: less than 6GHz). In this project, I have designed and simulated microstrip patch antenna. Creating a layout with one or more antennas requires ensuring isolation between different circuit blocks in your PCB. If possible, simply place the matching network as close as possible to the antenna. Download: qucsstudio Tutorial part 2 (Harmonic Balance simulations) as pdf-File. A Practical Guide for Antenna Matching Circuits. As an important note, the waveguide length between the matching network and the antenna interface is important so be sure to take that into account. The touchstone file contains both the magnitude and phase information of the antenna return loss. This measurement is generally saved as a touchstone file for simulation, which will be used in our model. Since it’s typically a 1 port device, the measurement would be simply the return loss or VSWR. ![]() A VNA is used to measure the scattering parameters of the antenna. Whether you have measured or simulated an antenna, that data can be used to create the matching network. Ultimately, the best PCB antenna design is one where there is no nearby copper fill, and there are no traces running near or on layers below the antenna. How is the feed matching network constructed? In this case, the matching strategy changes depending on the type of waveguide selected. It’s also a good rule of thumb to use 0402 components or smaller whenever possible.įor higher frequency antennas, waveguide is highly recommended to be used to match the antenna. It is best not use them over 6 GHz otherwise other factors become more significant. Lumped element components are idea for lower frequency antennas. ![]() ![]() The Miniview Micro USB KVM has two KVM cables molded-in, and two detachable KVM cables, all you need to do is to plug them into your computers and you'e got a complete KVM solution from IOGEAR.

See our page on Pests and diseases for more information. The root aphid appears as white fluffy insects around the roots of the plants and the neck. Alternatively, plant them in a low patio pot or alpine trough which can be moved to a shady s. They thrive best in a moist soil, rich in humus, preferring a well-drained, sheltered site where there is a little dappled shade. Keep an eye out for green fly, and root aphid. 'Alpine’ and ‘double’ auriculas are most suited to garden cultivation. You do not need to worry about frost auriculas are fully hardy to -20☌.Īll year - Removing dead leaves and stems that come away easily does help to avoid rot. Treat if need be or import predatory mites that feed on them.Īutumn and winter – not a great deal to do apart from keeping them just damp enough to stay alive. This can avoided by misting the leaves during very dry periods. If the weather is very hot and dry, watch out for spider-mite (tiny red insects that leave spider-like webs on the underside of leaves). Leave the pots to dry out in between watering. See the page on Dividing Primula for more information. This can also be done in the autumn, depending on your local conditions. We then put the pots into the shade and keep them just moist. They do seem to like their roots a bit constrained. It’s important not to give your auriculas too large a pot. If there are rooted offsets we remove them carefully and pot them on into small pots. Late spring - after the flowers have finished we re-pot into fresh compost*. As the buds appear we begin to give a small amount of tomato fertiliser, until flowering. Spring - we start to water the plants little by little as the weather begins to warm up, keeping them just moist. ![]() Here is a brief summary of our own Show auricula year : © Colin Humphrey, National Auricula and Primula Society Kent group. Often displayed in 'theatres' or shelving units in the spring they will make lovely show and can be moved to a less prominent and shady place in the summer months. They don't mind the cold, only excessive wet and the rain on the flowers can wash the farina away. it is often usual to keep them in pots either in a well ventilated and shaded alpine house, or in pots with some sort of protection outdoors in the winter for example an outdoor veranda, or on a north-facing window ledge. To safeguard the spectacular beauty of the Show auriculas (Selfs, Fancies and Edges). They are hardy alpine plants that are used to being under a layer of snow in the winter.Īlpine and double auriculas are also not very fussy plants and can be grown as above. We do not recommend covering the plants in winter. We would suggest dividing them every couple of years and enriching the soil with well-rotted manure or compost when you replant them. For the best flowers, give a low dose of tomato feed every week as soon as you see new buds, until full flowering. Try to remove dead leaves which fall on your plants. It also seems to deter slugs and the dreaded vine weevil. If your soil is heavy, add some small gravel and a gravel mulch around the plant will help to avoid rot if the winter is wet. The main thing is to make sure the soil is well-drained and that they are in a semi-shady spot.Īuriculas growing in an old ceramic sink with saxifraga. After division, pot into 7-9cm pots and feed the young plants with a high-phosphate feed to encourage strong root growth. Always make sure you have a section of both root and leaf to make a viable new plant. They grow well in a normal soil, either in pots, troughs or in a well-drained border or rockery. Any offsets can be easily teased off the main root (known on auriculas as the ‘carrot’) and potted up. Our auriculas are raised to be hardy and to survive without the special cossetting that is sometimes required by show auriculas. ![]() To do this, password managers provide key features such as secure password storing and sharing tools, enhanced encryption, and centralized administrative reporting and management capabilities.

One weak password put Nissan’s infrastructure and reputation at risk something that could have been avoided with the implementation of a business password management solution. ![]() The Git server has since been taken offline and Nissan has launched an investigation – but not before the stored data had been circulated amongst hacking forums. Nissan had stored the source code of their mobile apps and a number of their internal tools in a Bitbucket Git server “secured” with a default username and password combination of admin/admin. Unfortunately, password bad practice also extends to the IT world, with 50% of IT professionals reusing passwords across multiple workplace accounts.Ī prime example of this is the recent hack experienced by Nissan North America. A recent study from OWASP found that “123456”, “password” and “qwerty” are consistently the most commonly used passwords across the globe, even in today’s increasingly cyber-aware world. As a population, we’re terrible at creating strong passwords and, because of this, passwords can be the weakest link in a company’s security. The other half lies within an organization’s security culture. However, advancement of attack methods is only half of the problem. In recent years, hackers have developed increasingly sophisticated methods of stealing credentials to gain access to corporate accounts, moving from brute force attacks to targeted and highly effective social engineering attacks, such as spear-phishing and pharming.

Ambience at Mama Diam It wasn’t too dense or cakey like many other variants I’ve tried, and didn’t have that greasy mouthfeel commonly associated with churros, either. Light and crisp on the outside, the dough had just the right amount of bite. Served warm with a house-made caramel kaya dip, these churros were surprisingly good. Rounding up the night was a side of Homemade Churros ($12+), which came highly recommended by Sebastian-for good reason. But if you’re a huge fan of pandan-flavoured concoctions, this might be up your alley! We also tried the Pandan Sour ($16+), which turned out rather lacklustre and one-dimensional despite its pretty presentation. A few sips were enough to give me a much-needed caffeine kick, so go slow and easy if you’re not used to strong coffee! This punchy number is Mama Diam’s rendition of an espresso martini, featuring Sailor Jerry Rum, Smokey Monkey Whisky, and fresh espresso, sweetened with honey, and topped with a torched mashmallow.

Good for a party of four to five, this tea-infused cocktail is served in an IG-worthy pot and teacups. We then headed indoors for some evening drinks, starting with the aptly named Is It Tea You’re Looking For? ($28+). Complete with toasted sesame chimichurri, sautéed buttered veggies, and fries, the Australian striploin was juicy and flavourful despite its medium doneness. While the waffle wasn’t the best I’ve had, it went amazingly well with the duck meat, and a smear of apple jam for a slightly sweet finish.Īnother noteworthy mention is the Beef Striploin ($24+), which happens to be the priciest main on the menu. Well-seasoned and fork-tender with a delicately crispy exterior, the duck leg tasted exquisite.

While I applaud their incorporation of house-made Gong Bao sauce in this dish, the beef was, unfortunately, lacking in flavour. Those who love their meats can try the A4 Wagyu Aburi Beef Nigiri ($19+ for five pieces). Considering how hefty and filling the bun was, I think you’re getting bang for your buck at $5 a pop. Offset against a lettuce leaf, each bite was a sweet and savoury delight. Nine bite-sized snack pieces sit on a majestic-looking stand, making it a photo-worthy display. To get a taste of what you’re getting here, go for the 9 Bites of Wonder ($38+). There are a few signature items on the menu, which refreshes every three months. Mama Diam offers familiar flavours inspired by local dishes, with a contemporary twist. I’m not surprised, considering how identical it looks to the actual thing. According to Sebastian, this specially custom-made set came with a hefty price tag as they had to replicate it from scratch.

The final day of their cross-Canada tour with Stars on Ice was in Vancouver on Thursday, which happened to be Tessa’s birthday. The Canadian Olympic ice dancing champions stole the hearts of everyone last February in PyeongChang, receiving worldwide acclaim for their amazing chemistry on the ice. Showing until 28th October at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, Happy Birthday Tessa and Lisa is an eccentric assortment of design, photography and a short film by Klappe, in collaboration with film maker Niels van den Top and Tessa Koot, and makes a multitude of wrongs so very, very right.Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have had a profound effect on people not only in Canada, but around the world. ![]() For her next act, the young designer has blurred those thinly treaded lines even further, enlisting the help of design and fashion photographer Lisa Klappe together, they revel in their shared compulsion for bad taste.Ĭreating an aesthetic that’s parts fantasyland retroism, your grandparent’s smoke-stained shag pile, and frankly disturbing smack-head bedsit – the duo throw abused kids, dogs, smoking babies, car-boot sale art and Koot’s own fairytale furniture together creating something truly magical in the process. We first encountered Dutch designer Tessa Koot earlier this year, at this spring’s Salone del Mobile – her whimsical furniture-cum-art the very last word in design/art boundary muddying. |
