![]() The latest season of The Adventure Zone has divided fans to the point where a vocal portion of them believe the show has jumped the shark, and that the brothers have led them on a meandering, confusing journey filled with “performative allyship.” The "no bummer" ethos has bled into their other podcasts as well, and while that doesn't mean that the brothers avoid all criticism of the show, the positivity policy has now worn on some of their fans, in particular The Adventure Zone fans. Early on in the oeuvre of My Brother, My Brother and Me, the family introduced the concept of "no bummers," not wanting to answer questions that are depressing. The particular way that the brothers have presented themselves have created a devoted, passionate, but occasionally overzealous fandom. The Adventure Zone is, at this point, much more than a family D&D game.įor the McElroy family, hanging out with their brothers is now a part of their full time job. While The Adventure Zone is just one of many tabletop roleplaying podcasts, its popularity helped usher in shows like Dungeons and Daddies or Critical Role, and The Adventure Zone still rests at number 6 on the iTunes fiction podcast charts. ![]() While they weren't the first tabletop roleplaying podcast, their relative popularity within the space brought a new and different audience to the podcast. The first campaign, now dubbed Balance, premiered in 2014, and was a surprise hit for the brothers. The second most popular McElroy family podcast after My Brother, My Brother and Me is The Adventure Zone, which features the three brothers and their father Clint playing tabletop games, like Dungeons and Dragons. The size of their fanbase has exploded in part because of their intersection with another rising trend in podcasting: tabletop role playing games. The influence of the McElroys is not limited to the success of their business model of selling the idea of being a fly on the wall to their family's gags. Think of them as something halfway between the Kardashians and Hank and John Green, happily playing out their family dynamic for an audience of nerdy, perennially online fans. They also sell tickets for live shows, have a best-selling book, and not just one, but two television shows based on their existing properties. They've since expanded into more podcasts-each brother has a podcast with their spouses, and at least one spouse has started a podcast of her own.

![]() Spotted lanternflies feed on the sap of a plant and when there are high populations of them, they can cause significant damage. The first four stages are called nymphs, which are incapable of flight. Wanted Dead: A growing spotted lanternfly population is eating Marylands plants 01:51. It is native to certain parts of Southeast Asia. Spotted lanternflies go through five stages of growth after hatching from eggs. When crushing the egg mass, make sure to evenly press and watch for it to burst open - a sign that the mass has been crushed properly. The spotted lanternfly is an invasive planthopper (a type of insect) in the U.S., first found in Berks County, PA in 2014. Masses scraped onto the ground can still hatch. As such, this is your last opportunity to be vigilant for egg. Predictions for egg hatch in an average year begin around mid-April but can continue into May, so while it may not be early per se at this point, it still will be soon. PennState Extension recommends scraping the egg mass into a bag or container of hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol, and then disposing of the bag or container. A: Spotted Lanternfly (SLF) egg hatch, like the activity of many insects, is greatly dependent on temperature. ![]() If you find an egg mass in an area where the bug hasn’t been detected, the department encourages taking a picture of it, noting the location, and report it to your state’s department of agriculture before killing it. Adults lay eggs in masses in the late fall on trees, under bark, posts, lawn furniture, cars. If you find an egg mass in an area already known to have spotted lanternflies, the USDA says you should crush the mass and scrape it off the surface. Spotted lanternflies live through the winter only as eggs. Spotted Lanternfly Egg stock photos are available in a variety of sizes and formats to fit your needs. Since they began removing egg masses in early February, Indiana officials say they’ve destroyed more than 540,000 spotted lanternfly eggs.

![]() Mostly because I knew I would have to bend the stencil and I wanted to make sure I didn’t damage the stencil in any way. I stenciled the majority of the floor before I started to stencil the edges of the room. It wasn’t until we got to row three that we really started to see how much of a statement the Lisboa Tile Stencil was making on the concrete floor. Make sure you’ve allowed plenty of time for the paint to dry before you move it. Moving the stencil made me so nervous at first but it’s just like the amount of paint on the roller, it gets easier the more you do it. You can see one of the registration marks on the Lisboa Tile Stencil here! This helps you know where to reposition the stencil as you’re moving it from place to place. Royal Design Studio Stencils has a fun feature on their stencils called registration marks. You may use a light touch at first until you get the hang of how much paint should be on the roller. Then roll paint on the stencil until it’s completely filled. Once you have the center of the room marked and you know your start point, lay the stencil flat and use painters tape to help secure it in place. Off loading the paint is a really important step so don’t skip it! You don’t want any paint overspray on the floor or paint bleeding through the stencil because your foam roller is squishy from too much paint! That way, we could easily off load any extra paint on the roller. We used one tray to keep the porch paint in and we lined a separate paint tray with an old towel. Keep in mind, floor, porch and patio paint has a completely different texture and consistency than some latex paint, chalk paint or even milk paint does.įor this reason, we chose to use a sponge roller to apply the stencil to the floor. So, we had the paint department tint the paint in Cathedral Stone. We also wanted to use the same color for the stencil that we used on the walls. I mentioned earlier we painted the floors with two coats of Valspar’s Porch, Floor and Patio Paint in Ultra White which is the same color as the board and batten. So, we watched the video How to Stencil a Concrete Floor in 10 Easy Stepsbefore getting started.Īs recommended, we used a tape measure and a chalk reel to mark the center of the room. If you’re new to stenciling or need a reminder, Royal Design Studio Stencils has a wide range of tutorials and videos dedicated to stenciling and various applications.Įven though I had stenciled the curtains, I’m new to stenciling concrete floors. Review Stenciling Instructions Prior to StartingĪs soon as the concrete floors were cleaned, painted and prepped, we set about transforming them with the Lisboa Tile Stencil. ![]() So, it made us even more excited to try their stencils on the bedroom floor. We stenciled the curtainsin our dining room using another Royal Design Studio Stencil a few years ago and I can honestly say they help up really well. Over the course of a few days, we searched for the perfect tile and were excited to find the Lisboa Tile Stencil from Royal Design Studio Stencils. We knew early on we wanted our concrete floor to have a tile pattern that would have an elegant feel to easily mix with our Southern style. You really want your work to last.Įspecially, if you plan to have a floor that will be a statement maker. It was a ton of work (around 4 days due to drying time) but it’s really important to have a good foundation anytime you’re painting and stenciling concrete floors. ![]() There’s a lot that goes into stenciling concrete floors but nothing more important than prepping and cleaning the floors before you paint them. We painted our floors in Valspar’s Porch, Floor and Patio Paint in Ultra White. Here’s a look at how we completely transformed the bedroom floor with the help of Royal Design Studio Stencils… Well, I’m happy to report we finished this project in plenty of time and it changed the look of the entire room! We knew in advance this would be a time consuming project and with our six week One Room Challenge timeline, I knew there was a chance we would be cutting it close. Of all of the projects related to the master bedroom makeover, stenciling the concrete floor was the task I was most excited and also the most nervous about. A special thank you to Royal Design Studio Stencils for sponsoring this post! Today, we’re sharing how to stencil a concrete floor like a pro. ![]() Nintendo had also decided upon using a motion sensor, infrared pointer, and the layout of the buttons, and by the end of 2005 the controller was ready for mass production. By "late 2004, early 2005", however, Nintendo had come up with the Wii Remote's less traditional "wand shape", and the design of the Nunchuk attachment. Under requirement to "roughly preserve the existing Game Cube button layout", it experimented with different forms "through sketches, models and interviewing various hardcore gamers". At this point, Gyration brought in a separate design firm, Bridge Design, to help pitch its concept to Nintendo. Nintendo then commissioned Gyration to create a one-handed controller for it, which eventually became the "Gyropod", a more traditional gamepad which allowed its right half to break away for motion-control. ![]() Gyration had previously pitched their idea and patents of a motion controller to Sony and Microsoft, who both declined. ![]() In that year, Nintendo licensed a number of motion-sensing patents from Gyration Inc., a company that produces wireless motion-sensing computer mice. The Wii U's successor, the Nintendo Switch, features a follow-up named Joy-Con.ĭevelopment of a motion-enabled controller began when development of the Wii console started in 2001. The Wii's successor console, the Wii U, supports the Wii Remote and its peripherals in games where use of the features of the Wii U GamePad is not mandated. It received much attention due to its unique features, not supported by other gaming controllers. The controller was revealed at both E3 2005 and E3 2006 and the Tokyo Game Show on September 14, 2005, with the name "Wii Remote" announced April 27, 2006. Some other attachments include the Classic Controller, Wii Zapper, and the Wii Wheel, which has originally been used for the racing game, Mario Kart Wii. The attachment bundled with the Wii console is the Nunchuk, which complements the Wii Remote by providing functions similar to those in gamepad controllers. ![]() An essential capability of the Wii Remote is its motion sensing capability, which allows the user to interact with and manipulate items on screen via motion sensing, gesture recognition, and pointing which is used for the console, using accelerometer and optical sensor technology.

Senna got out of his Williams car and went to the scene of the collision. On the Friday before the race, Senna's protégé, Rubens Barrichello, driving for the Jordan team, clipped a curb and crashed heavily at 225 km/h (140 mph) at the Variante Bassa chicane. Main article: 1994 San Marino Grand Prix Rubens Barrichello (pictured at the 1995 French Grand Prix) suffered a high-speed crash at the Variante Bassa chicane Benetton's Michael Schumacher was the championship leader entering the third race at Imola, with Senna trailing by 20 points. Senna had his worst ever start to a Formula One season, failing to finish or score points in the first two races (the Brazilian and Pacific Grands Prix), despite having taken pole in both. The problems continued as the season commenced. It makes you a lot more tense and that stresses you. Also, the car has its own characteristics which I'm not fully confident in yet. Some of that is down to the lack of electronic change. ![]() Going back to when we raced at Estoril last September, it feels much more difficult. We changed the seat and the wheel, but even so I was already asking for more room. Therefore I didn't have a single run or a single lap that I felt comfortable or reasonably confident. I have a very negative feeling about driving the car and driving it on the limit and so on. On debut for his new team during the traditional pre-season testing at the Estoril Circuit, Senna said of the Williams FW16: Williams was expected to contend for the F1 World Championship as they had in the previous two seasons with Prost and Nigel Mansell, albeit with cars that no longer had electronic aids, which had been banned for the 1994 season. In 1994, Senna left his longtime team McLaren, which he had joined in 1988 and won three World Drivers' Championships with in 1988, 19, to join Williams, replacing his former teammate Alain Prost. The Supreme Court of Cassation of Italy ruled that mechanical failure was the cause of the crash. This became a turning point in the safety of Formula One, prompting the implementation of new safety measures in both Formula One and the circuit, as well as the Grand Prix Drivers' Association to be reestablished. Ratzenberger and Senna's crashes were the first fatal accidents to occur during a Formula One race meeting since that of Riccardo Paletti at the 1982 Canadian Grand Prix, and were also the last until that of Jules Bianchi at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. ![]() Several other collisions took place that weekend, including a serious one involving Rubens Barrichello. The previous day, Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger had died when his car crashed during qualification for the race. On, Brazilian Formula One driver Ayrton Senna was killed after his car crashed into a concrete barrier while he was leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Imola Circuit in Italy.

For example, one newton (N) is equal to one kilogram times one meter per second squared (kg x m/s 2). The kilogram is a unit of weight that is widely used to measure the weight of objects and substances such as food, clothes, animals, metals and chemicals. For example, an adult human body has an average weight of about 62 kg. For example, to convert pounds to kilograms, we need to divide by 2.2046226218. To convert from other units of weight to kilograms, we need to use the inverse of these conversion factors. ![]() Here are some common conversion factors for kilograms: Therefore, one kilogram is equal to 2.2046226218 pounds. For example, to convert kilograms to pounds, we need to know that one pound is equal to 0.45359237 kg. To convert kilograms to other units of weight, we need to use conversion factors that relate the kilogram to the desired unit. The kilogram was officially adopted by the International System of Units (SI) in 1960 as one of the seven base units. The kilogram, as well as other metric units of weight, such as the gram and the tonne, were introduced in the 19th century as part of the decimal system of measurement that aimed to simplify and unify the units used in science and commerce. In 1889, the IPK became the new standard of the unit of weight for the metric system and remained so for 130 years, until the current definition was adopted in 2019. In 1799, the Kilogramme des Archives, a platinum artifact, replaced it as the standard of weight. ![]() The kilogram was originally defined in 1795 during the French Revolution as the mass of one litre of water at 4 ☌, which was determined to be 18841 grains. One kilogram can also be written as kg or 1000 g. It is equal to the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK), a cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy stored at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France. Kilograms: A Unit of Weight Definition of the KilogramĪ kilogram is a unit of weight that measures how much force an object or substance exerts on a scale due to gravity. Please note this is weight to volume conversion, this conversion is valid only for pure water at temperature 4 ☌. Kilogram (kg) is a unit of Weight used in Metric system.Ĭup (cup) is a unit of Volume used in Cooking system. ![]() In this tutorial we will begin by discussing Flask, a micro web framework for the Python programming language.
