![]() I am an interior decorator-turned-blogger! My house is my own playground and experiment. Be sure to check out my Instagram feed for more updates and progress pictures!Īuthor Megan Posted on ApApCategories 1916 Home Renovation Thanks for following along with our journey! If this is your first time here, check out the previous posts of our renovation: phase 1, 2, 3, and 4. So over the next couple days I will be spraying on the paint, and my husband will be laying our flooring! EEK! Things are about to get real over at the Schmidt house! We couldn’t be more thrilled with how it is all coming together. I primed ALL the trim and doors in one room in 4 MINUTES!!! No brush strokes, no dripping, just awesomeness. ![]() ![]() I have been practicing my paint spraying technique, and I have NO idea why I haven’t used a paint sprayer before. COLOR OF THE SKIM COAT DRYWALL MUD – GORGEOUS! The color I found that matched it perfectly is Pam’s Silk by Valspar. I spent a good couple days bouncing back and forth from Lowe’s and our house buying samples to match the color of the mud. It is a creamy white, not too yellow, not grey, just beautiful. The color of the dry mud is SO beautiful. ![]() I actually love the mud job so much, that I changed my mind on the paint color I was planning to use. The ceilings we chose a standard “stamped” texture. We chose a smooth texture instead of the orange peel or “holy smooth” texture. You guys, it looks AMAZING! I absolutely LOVE how the walls and ceilings turned out. We spent about $400 in mud and tape supplies, plus the cost of the labor. We weren’t confident that we could get professional results with a Do-It-Yourself for this project. We have seen many DIY mud jobs that looked … well, not professionally done. We are wanting to move in in a few weeks and knew that doing the job ourselves would delay us up to a month!Ģ. We decided to hire out the job for a few reasons:ġ. Below I am removing the calcimine – a LONG process.Īfter some research (and some floundering) we decided that a skim coat of drywall mud was our solution. Calcimine cannot be primed or painted over as the paint will not adhere well and will eventually start to bubble and peel. I will devote another post to this topic, but the calcimine also complicated things. We also realized that some of our walls had calcimine paint. If someone were to rub up against the wall they would likely scrape their skin and get a scab! We also saw that there were some cracks throughout the walls that needed to be patched and we weren’t confident that we could blend the patches with the old plaster texture. **That being said, we were adding can lights to 3 of our rooms (living room, dining, and kitchen) and there was no insulation in the attic bedrooms, so those ceilings we DID remove the plaster and put drywall (shiplap in the attic bedrooms) up after we added insulation and lighting.**Īfter we removed all our wallpaper (this took us about 2 months!) we realized that the plaster is too rough to simply prime and paint over. I love the character of old baseboards! I feared that if we removed our baseboards (necessary if we were removing the lath and plaster), we would damage the them beyond repair or reuse. Plaster is HEAVY, dusty, and time consuming to remove.ģ. So much work is involved in removing lath and plaster. If we were to remove all the walls with their imperfect lumps and edges we would lose some of that character that attracted us to the old house in the first place.Ģ. Here is what we discovered over the past 4 months, and how we ended up loving our finished walls: WHY WE LIKE PLASTER wallsįirst, I should explain why we wanted to keep our plaster walls:ġ. I do not like wallpaper, and I also did not like the idea of removing the plaster walls. The walls and ceilings throughout the house were covered with 4 or more layers of wallpaper. When we moved into our 1916 house 4 months ago, I had no idea what I was going to do with the plaster walls.

![]() What you notice first when you look at the map is that the solid red wall extending from North Dakota to Texas on the map Yingst shared is almost white in this rendering. Purples portray areas where one party or another won by a narrow margin. A light pink indicates a high Republican vote share in a sparsely populated area. A bright, vibrant blue indicates a high Democratic vote share in a densely populated area. Instead, it uses color to indicate the party’s vote share in each county, and opacity (in mapmaking, it’s called the “alpha channel,” hence, value-by-alpha) to indicate the population in a given area of the county. It doesn’t account for where votes were most likely cast within a county. The value-by-alpha map is similar to the dasymetric dot density map, and in some ways, even simpler. Presidential election 2016: Value-by-alpha Ken Field But on the dasymetric dot density map, it’s the blue that stands out, conveying the difference between the popular vote, which Clinton won, and the electoral college vote, which Trump won. But by completely coloring in all the counties, it gives counties where only a few hundred votes were cast the same visual weight as counties where hundreds of thousands of votes were cast. That map uses different shades of red and blue to indicate whether candidates won by a wide or slim margin. Taken together, Field says, these methods offer a far more detailed illustration of voter turnout than, say, the map in Yingst’s tweet. ![]() That’s to avoid placing lots of dots in, say, the middle of a forest, and to account for dense population in cities. ![]() Then, rather than distributing the dots evenly around a county, he distributes them proportionally according to where people actually live, based on the US government's National Land Cover Database. On this particular map from 2016, there are roughly 135 million dots. ![]() Instead of filling an entire state or county with the color red or blue to indicate which party won, Field uses red and blue dots to represent every vote that was cast. The term “dasymetric” refers to a map that accounts for population density in a given area. To Field, there's no such thing as a totally comprehensive map, but he says, "Some are more truthful than others." The so-called dasymetric dot density map is one of them. Presidential election 2016: dasymetric dot density Ken Field (Well, that and he just really loves maps.) That's one reason why Field recently published an extensive gallery of more than 30 alternative maps designed to tell markedly different stories about what happened on election night 2016. But focusing on that map alone could lead Republicans to overestimate their advantage, and lead Democrats to misunderstand the best ways to catch up. It stands to reason that President Trump would want that particular map hung in the West Wing. "It’s a question of the level of detail that people are interested in understanding." "People see maps of any type, and particularly election maps, as the result, the outcome, but there are so many different types of maps available that can portray results in shades of the truth," Field says. The problem is believing that any single map can ever tell the whole story. The problem, he says, isn't with people's partisan interpretation of the map. A self-proclaimed "cartonerd," Field is a product engineer at the mapping software company Esri and author of a guidebook for mapmakers called Cartography. In reality, both sides are right, says Ken Field. ![]() the design of the concrete block has several advantages over conventional masonry block building systems.the present invention is an interlocking dry-stack concrete masonry building system used for the construction of load bearing and non-load bearing masonry walls.Current methods of concrete block buildings use blocks which are long and unstable in certain building conditions.Interlocking concrete block buildings are generally built with a plurality of interlocking concrete blocks.Interlocking concrete blocks used in constructing buildings is relatively common to one involved in the construction field.the present invention relates to an interlocking concrete block system for constructing buildings and the like.each cavity being enclosed by at least four sides forming part of one single element using elements having specially-designed means for stabilising the position by interlocking of projections or inserts with indentations, e.g. E04B2/18- Walls having cavities in, but not between, the elements, i.e.each cavity being enclosed by at least four sides forming part of one single element using elements having specially-designed means for stabilising the position E04B2/16- Walls having cavities in, but not between, the elements, i.e.each cavity being enclosed by at least four sides forming part of one single element ![]() E04B2/14- Walls having cavities in, but not between, the elements, i.e.partitions, for buildings Wall construction with regard to insulation Connections specially adapted to walls built-up from layers of building elements partitions, for buildings Wall construction with regard to insulation Connections specially adapted to walls PARTITIONS ROOFS FLOORS CEILINGS INSULATION OR OTHER PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS E04B- GENERAL BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS WALLS, e.g.Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the date listed.)

That gut feeling when you see “the one” is no gut feeling at all, it’s the wand calling to you. You can walk through the wand shop and purchase any wand you wish but…The wand chooses the wizard, remember. Of course, there is the other famous wand maker, Gregorovitch, and then there are wand peddlers in the streets of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade peddling their wares. The most obvious and largest location is Ollivander’s, and he has one location in Diagon Alley as well as Hogsmeade. Interactive wands can be purchased in Universal Studios in various places in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. ![]() These wands interact all around the park with marked magic spots, though there are some secret spots, but that’s an article for another day! All wands are sold with an authentic wand box, perfect for displaying, and a map of both Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade showing all of the magic spots. You can purchase an interactive wand and finally become the wizard that you were meant to be! You can see, taste, smell, and feel the magic in these two lands, but more than that… You can do magic! It is like jumping right into the books! There is Diagon Alley in Universal Studios and Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure. ![]() The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is nothing short of spectacular. The difference with Harry Potter versus other fandoms is that with Harry Potter, it isn’t really about the characters, per say, it’s about the world they live in. ![]() Finally, the stories that we read can come to life. Universal Studios is a huge draw to Harry Potter fans around the world. ![]() Fortunately, the TI-84 calculator makes it much easier to quickly calculate the line of best fit and interpret the results. In this example, 96.02% of the variation in happiness can be explained by hours and hours 2.Calculator, Line Of Best Fit, Linear Regression, Scatter Plots, Statistics, Ti-84 Introductionįinding the line of best fit for data sets can be a difficult task if you’re not comfortable with statistics or mathematics. We can also see that the r-squared for the regression model is r 2 = 0.9602. This is the proportion of the variance in the response variable that can be explained by the explanatory variables. Happiness = -0.1012(60) 2 + 6.7444(60) – 18.2536 = 22.09Ĭonversely, an individual that works 30 hours perk week is predicted to have a happiness level of 92.99: We can use this equation to find the predicted happiness of an individual, given the number of hours they work per week.įor example, an individual that works 60 hours per week is predicted to have a happiness level of 22.09: The following output will automatically appear:įrom the results, we can see that the estimated regression equation is as follows: ![]() Scroll down to Calculate and press Enter. Press Stat and then scroll over to CALC. Then scroll down to 5: QuadReg and press Enter.įor Xlist and Ylist, make sure L1 and L2 are selected since these are the columns we used to input our data. Next, we will perform quadratic regression. This upside down “U” shape in the scatterplot indicates that there is a quadratic relationship between hours worked and happiness, which means we should use quadratic regression to quantify this relationship. We can see that happiness tends to increase as number of hours worked increases from zero up to a certain point, but then begins to drop lower as the number of hours worked increases further. This will automatically produce the following scatterplot: Next, press zoom and then press 9:ZoomStat. Make sure the plot is on and that L1 and L2 are selected for Xlist and Ylist, respectively: ![]() Next, press 2nd and then press y= to access the statplot menu. Enter the following values for the explanatory variable (hours worked) in column L1 and the values for the response variable (happiness) in column L2: Use the following steps to perform a quadratic regression on a TI-84 calculator.īefore we can use quadratic regression, we need to make sure that the relationship between the explanatory variable (hours) and response variable (happiness) is actually quadratic.įirst, we will input the data values for both the explanatory and the response variable. Press Stat and then press EDIT . We have the following data on the number of hours worked per week and the reported happiness level (on a scale of 0-100) for 11 different people: Suppose we are interested in understanding the relationship between number of hours worked and happiness. Example: Quadratic Regression on a TI-84 Calculator ![]() This tutorial explains how to perform quadratic regression on a TI-84 Calculator. However, when two variables have a quadratic relationship, we can instead use quadratic regression to quantify their relationship. When two variables have a linear relationship, we can often use simple linear regression to quantify their relationship.

The story follows a young man named Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) who is apart of noble family that gets stuck in the middle of an interplantary conflict over a substance called spice. ![]() Based on the classic Dune books from Frank Herbert, Dune is a sc-fi epic that truly feels epic.
![]() You’ll also need hard drives, music licensing rights, and a space to do all the work. That’s a minimum of 72 hours of editing time for a traditional 120-page feature-length script or almost two weeks of paid editor time. The general rule of thumb is that every five pages or so of the script will amount to three to five hours in editing, plus more time for refinements. Many filmmakers underestimate the amount of time post-production really takes. Consider Post-Production Timing and Costs You may even consider some changes to the screenplay. You’ll have to start balancing things such as the number of crew, characters, and days you’ll shoot based on the funds you think you can raise at this stage. How many actors do you need? How about production staff? How many helpers will you need on hand to get through production, and what can you afford based on the number of shooting days you have? For a general idea of what each crew member will expect to be paid, head to the unions representing these entertainment industry folks, such as the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees or IATSE. These are all baseline necessities for shooting your film. Start by outlining all of the hard costs you know in advance, such as cameras, lighting, location rental, and additional equipment rental. You’ll want to include location, props, costumes, any specialty makeup or effects, cast, and more. Go through your screenplay, scene by scene, and detail what it will take to shoot that scene. How to Build a Budget for Your Film: 1. Complete a Script Breakdown Or, use the template toward the bottom of this blog as a starting place. However, if you’re going this (mostly) alone, you will want a financial plan for what to do after making the dang thing.įor our purposes (assuming you don’t have film budgeting software or a line producer or production manager to do the budget for you), I’d recommend opening up a new Excel spreadsheet to start inputting these numbers. When you get into bigger productions, marketing and distribution may not be included in the original budget. Above-the-line costs include pre-production and development costs Production, which makes up about 50 percent of the budget, includes labor, sets, costumes, equipment, and more Post-production includes post-production labor, editing, facilities, and more and the Other category usually includes a reserve budget, and marketing costs (festivals and self-distribution). ![]() The trick is to find the budget that allows you to raise the money, execute production the way you want to, and not run out of cash.įilmmakers break their budgets down into four parts, Above-the-Line, Production, Post-Production, and Other. The Internet is replete with amazingly simple templates for burgeoning indie film productions, local cable access network shows, and online video-streaming webisodes that do not require expensive and proprietary software to make your visual media dreams come true.Of course, some films were made on less than the cost of a 3-bedroom/2-bath house (I live in California), and some films were made with no budget at all. ![]() In conclusion, Microsoft Excel (along with the rest of MS Office) can be a powerful tool, not just for businesses, but also for creative professionals, such as filmmakers and writers. You will need an account with, and it only offers a free trial after that, you have to pay. This full-featured online storyboarding program utilizes many detailed illustrations and drawing tools to create elaborate storyboards for your production. ![]() If you must have an electronic document, the TemplateLab has you covered with 40 storyboard templates, including one Excel template.Īnd for the really adventurous storyboarder, take a look through. Most likely, you’re going to print this sheet out anyway and start drawing your shots on it. We tried number 8, which contains sections for different production stages, including pre-production and development, production, and post-production. Use the table of contents to find the type of budget template you need, look through the previews, then click Download on a template you like. Fortunately, TemplateLab has an extensive selection of film budget templates that you can download for free. Keeping track of every last cent is vitally important to successfully pulling off a production. Most indie productions run on a tight budget, whether the funds came from private or angel investors, relatively small or local producers/studios, Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaigns, or from one’s own personal bank account. This one’s pretty self-explanatory, but it bears repeating: no money, no film/TV/streaming project. For example, you can move columns, add sparklines to track progress, and filter tables using a slicer. Note: you can customize all Excel templates to your needs. ![]() In all, eight UH players made at least one three-pointer and UH shot 53.4% from the field overall.
