![]() ![]() Every one of them was either created to be cruel or was used in a cruel way against Christ, suggesting that as creators, we are only capable of making harmful objects. The arma Christi are man-made, except for Peter’s rooster, although he is the reason the rooster crows. These instruments symbolized Christ’s triumph over death in the early Middle Ages, but by the twelfth century, they came to be “mementos” of the Passion for us to meditate on Jesus’s suffering (Cooper and Denny-Brown 5). On my latest count and consultation with The Arma Christi in Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture, I brought that number up to thirteen, with two obscure symbols making the total fifteen: the hay fork and three gold containers. From my initial count, I found four major symbols. Wing’s depiction of the arma Christi on 32r is almost like an Easter egg hunt - you have to find them all and figure out what parts of the Passion they’re referring to. It displays a variant of Wing’s floral and gold signature border. Another modern border by Wing, 71v, depicts the five wounds of Christ and ends the entire section of the Passion, coming just before the Mass of the Five Wounds. 32r and 68r act essentially as book-ends as they start the first and last hours, but this isn’t where our picture story ends. 68r, an original border ending the Hours with Compline, shows grotesques dancing around the text. On 32r, Wing illuminates the arma Christi, instruments used in Christ’s torture this folio correlates to the hour of Matins, opening the Hours of the Passion. I’ll be looking at three different border illuminations that tell Jesus’s Passion through illustration and order, and I’ll tackle it in order. Wing’s floral imagery will be important to the Hours of the Passion’s illumination framework.īefore we go any further discussing Wing’s borders, a couple of things need to be noted. Through these examples and other borders of MS W.441, we can see that he utilizes bright colors and subtle shadowing to make these lifelike images pop. Wing’s artistic calling card is beautiful floral illuminations on striking gold backgrounds. ![]() In addition to MS W.441, he illuminated borders for Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum MS 193, and Yale, Beinecke MS 287A, only a few on a list of his contributions. He also worked for other commissioners as a professional facsimilist, and a pretty convincing one at that (Furlong 7). Wing was no stranger to working with medieval manuscripts, even “damaged surviving manuscripts,” for Jarman (Backhouse 80). William Caleb Wing, the talented modern illuminator of this manuscript, engaged with original medieval borders to create border illuminations and full-page miniatures. Many of these pretty illuminations, however, were commissioned by John Boykett Jarman in the nineteenth century. Īccording to the manuscript description, the text was written in the sixteenth century in Flanders. The second major deviation in this manuscript is the illuminations. ![]() MS W.441 instead centers around the Hours of the Passion, making it more Christ-based (for more on this absence in manuscripts, see Christian Gallichio’s post ). For one, this Book of Hours lacks the very thing that makes Books of Hours what they are: the Hours of the Virgin (Weick 60 Reinburg 209). 12v–13r.Welcome to the strangeness of Baltimore, Walters Art Gallery MS W.441 ! A few things set this manuscript apart from the everyday Book of Hours. Gallois, so-called Naives Hours, 1839 – 42, Paris. Heures françoises et latines pour Madame L. The Naives book of hours, on the other hand, was commissioned by Jules Gallois, Count of Naives, for his wife, as a devotional work, though also supporting his claim to descend from noble medieval ancestors. The Missal was presented in 1844 to the Count of Chambord, then head of the House of Bourbon, by the Legitimist Ladies of France, who were in favour of a return to monarchy. Two high-end French manuscripts stand out as relatively recent acquisitions: the Naives Hours and the politically-charged Chambord Missal. Pugin and Phoebe Traquair are present in the library, but also some manuscripts reflecting the popular taste for illumination in Victorian England, such as illuminated addresses commissioned for ceremonial occasions, and instances of amateur illumination. Owing to the time and circumstances of its foundation, the museum holds examples of manuscript illumination exemplifying the revival of interest for anything medieval in the 19th century. ![]()

8/17/2023 0 Comments Does vivaldi browser work on ipad![]() Have lost so much time, submitted Vivaldi bug reports and support emails to Vivaldi, but their poor support, just always give the same advise, of several steps and time: try renaming your default folder, or refreshing profile, tried these several times, Vivaldi still would not load properly, takes forever, to do anything, so it is pretty useless now. I have lost so much time and frustration, with saving desired tabs in Vivaldi back up folders, but many times when vivaldi crashes, It will not even open, or restore back up folders. You will have to spend hours & hours to troubleshoot it's many crashes & errors yourself. ![]() Vivaldi still has no badly needed Builtin Troubleshooter Option, to run vivaldi cleaner & fast possible, so like many, if have over 100 Research tabs open, to avoid always session crashing, and losing all open tabs and sessions, without any good reason or help given. Just check online, see all the many many ongoing unresolved complaints of Vivaldi, as it keeps crashing and losing all tabs and sessions, and cannot restore correctly. I was hoping to use mostly, for it's superhot numerous Tabs management options, so do not have to add a bunch of 3rd party Junk Outdated Addons to browser, to manage & save many several open research tabs, but after only a few months of, found out this browser is full of bugs and crash problems, that other similar browsers do not have these many crash issues, even on my newer pc with plenty of RAM. Vivaldi Browser started off good, wi th a good concept, but it is just too unstable, not ready. Its high degree of customization means that sometimes it can be slower than desired if you have lots of tabs open - but do not doubt the developer’s dedication this technical preview has been, and will continue to be, iterated on.Īvoid this browser, too many bugs, glitches, very unstable, keeps loses all tabs, poorly supported! It is purely ornamental (and optional), but an interesting option for those who find Vivaldi’s lack of customizable skins off-putting. This causes the active tab and the navigation bar to "catch" the main color of the active page. One aspect that does not affect navigation, but that is very curious, is the adaptive interface. The program allows you to configure shortcuts for any option you want and also allows a navigation system in which you do not need the mouse. Vivaldi customization includes keyboard shortcuts. This is useful, for example, if you are doing a job and have different sources of information open: you put them all together and pass from one to another more easily. This option also lets you group different tabs in the same space. While you can keep them at the top (like you may see in other browsers), you can also put them to the side, bottom, and even stack them to your liking. Vivaldi is intended for users who surf a lot, and so has taken special care in its tab options. But, if you are not convinced, give it a go. Intuitively, clean, and 100% configurableīut if there is one thing that makes Vivaldi stand out from the other browsers on the market, it is its high degree of customization.Īs you can see, Vivaldi is a browser where things are where you expect them to be – making sure everything close at hand. ![]() Like the rest of the app everything here is simple, including privacy setting: a quick sweep and you can delete cookies or saved passwords. This is useful if, for example, you are browsing and want to have a small panel to chat on Facebook.Īnd if you still want more, then you can always install Chrome extensions.Īs for its configuration options, Vivaldi simplifies the menus. This saves you opening another app, saving memory usage and faff.Īnother notable option is its Web Panels, which allow you to view pages as a panel outside the browser. ![]() Notes is very useful when you want some information to hand during your browsing session. Here, the classic Favorites and Downloads options are joined by very practical as Notes. As in other browsers, Vivaldi has a Speed Dial panel that appears when you open a new tab, letting you easily select your favorite websites.Īnother useful option is the sidebar, a menu reminiscent Opera (in fact its former CEO is the creator of Vivaldi) but with additional interesting functions. ![]() 8/17/2023 0 Comments Walmart external hard drive![]() While the SSD version is rated at 510 MB/s, the HDD version was slower in our testing, delivering 130 Mb/s read/write speed in our benchmarks. However, you'll never worry about losing your connecting cable, as the LaCie (available in 2 to 8 TB capacities) has an attached USB cord in your favorite standard (USB-C, USB-C Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt, or USB 3.0). Our reviewer, Andy, calls out that some of the drive's durability relies on a detachable silicon seal over the Thunderbolt port, which is easy to forget when walking out the door. With its distinctive rubber bumpers and brushed aluminum chassis, LaCie's Rugged 2TB drive offers drop resistance up to 5 feet, crush resistance that can withstand up to a 1-ton car, and IP54 water and dust resistance. LaCie Rugged 2TB Thunderbolt USB-C Review There's a limited three-year warranty to back you up, but given the drive's resilience, you may never need it. ![]() In her testing, Yoona recorded read speeds as high as 421MB/s and write speeds of 429MB/s. No matter your use case, you'll have blazing speeds thanks to its solid-state nature. This makes it a more niche option for those working in the field or to protect themselves from clumsiness. The ADATA SD700's storage capacity options top out at 1TB, which may not be ideal for those looking to archive a rich assortment of multimedia. ![]() It looks a bit wild with the rubber bumper, especially on the yellow model, but that's critical to an engineering job that resulted in IP68 water and dust resistance, plus shock protection from bad drops. Yoona tested ADATA's claim that it could withstand 4-foot drops, dumping it onto hardwood and cement, and the drive showed no signs of scuffing or damage and no performance issues. This travel-ready external hard drive uses 3D NAND technology to pack tons of space into a small form factor, allowing easy pocket entry and removal. Most hard drives only claim reliability and durability for mechanical operation over time, but ADATA's SD700 SSD drive offers more substantial protection. ![]() 8/17/2023 0 Comments Lost wax casting plaster of paris![]() "lost" leaving a cavity to cast the metal in.As other posters When set theįlask is fired in a burn out kiln ,the wax melts out and and is Mixed investment (similar to plaster of paris).

I have used washing up liquid (Fairy) diluted with water to coat So re paint the area with an Epoxy resin. The company you should speak to is Blaysons. The tools we mainly used were all aluminium with brass cores, there was the odd resin type we always used silicone spray on each shot to release the wax pattern. ![]() I spent 20 years as a production manager in one of the UK best aerospace foundries. Would the mould maker tell you what coating he is using? Is the aluminium powder white in colour and very fine? i'm just wondering if it's aluminium oxide? I've only ever done silicon mould rubber castings with Polyurethane 2 part plastics. ![]() ![]() Wax submasters cast from the flexible mold and hence joined to a ingate and all coated in ceramic prior to final burn out and casting. I have only seen lost wax molds made from a flexible "rubber" cast around the master pattern of the required final part. I am sure someone with knowledge will be along soon. We used to make low volume or prototype moulds fro "Kirksite" I never got involved with lost wax but do remember some form of coating being applied. Reason for enquiry - sometimes the castings are not quite what I need and I need to mill out the cavity, thus destroying the "varnish" Also the milling process can expose porosity in the mold which needs correcting with one of the "plastic metal" compounds. On completion of the mold the mold maker coats the working surfaces (cavity) with a kind of varnish. I use lost wax casting to manufacture various motorcycle parts and most of my molds are made from Aluminium/Epoxy which appears to be aluminium powder mixed with Araldite. ![]() 8/17/2023 0 Comments Dremel wood sanding bits![]() ![]() I have a dremel and a few bits.but no multi-tool at the moment. I want finished piece to be a stack of skulls looking different directions and each skull different from the next. I decided to strip all the limbs and greenery and bark from the trunk of of the 6ft tree and I have been planning since christmas to create/carve/grind a stick of skulls. It was the first christmas with my soon to be wife and i want to make a keepsake that will be kept forever. The christmas tree that i had was a douglas fir. Heres my plan and the tools and materials that i have to start. Well.the time is now for me to put my thoughts into action and any helpful advice that you fellas can offer would be greatly appreciated. I really really enjoy making things out of wood, but have never sat down and artistically created a design or finished product from the many ideas ive had. ![]() I am a residential carpentet and have been for almost 20 years now. Yall answered a few of my questions before I even had the chance to ask them. Id first like to say thanks to all of you gentlmen that have posted under this thread. I'm looking forward to your next instructable, but I want you to finish it with all ten fingers intact. If the piece is already close to the finish size then attach a dowel or bolt or something that will help your bench hold the bench steady. If you are starting with a bigger piece, then leave a part that you can keep in the clamp and cut that stem off after you have done as much as you can to the rest of the piece. But don't trust them completely, they are better than nothing, but not if you are not paying attention. ![]() They make them with kevlar or a similar material. That is, you think, okay I'm going to hold it so I'd better know where the blade will go when (not if) I slip. Having said that, I have broken that rule from time to time, but with extra care. First rule I learned in woodcarving is to never use your body as a work bench. I would like to say from experience, that you should take more safety precautions. ![]() 8/17/2023 0 Comments Pica in cats meaning![]() ![]() If I recall, she says it was only days (?) after the removal of 80% of her teeth. Note that the writer states that the cat stopped chewing after bup was administered. The owner reports that there was no proof of any damage or abnormalities in the jaw or teeth. Giving bup is not a good basis to assume that the teeth were causing pain. I am so sorry, but this seems incredibly cruel. It's like fabric is her crack and she can't beat the habit. It really seems like there's something in the fabric that she's addicted to and I don't know how to deter it. Just the room, plastic toys, a litter box, and cardboard boxes as beds. No more cat beds, no hanging jackets to jump into and eat, no rugs for her to consume over 1ft of the edging of. We put her in a mostly empty room with only plastic cat toys with her brother. That developed into her refining her sense of smell around any fabric. Such as a glove that fell down the back of the couch, our jackets on the back of the door, clean balled up socks that were definitely in a drawer. Then we noticed that she was finding fabric in places we didn't know there was fabric. The next day, she had consumed a few inches of the soft material but vomited it all out.Ī week later, she vomits up an entire toy, a fabric monster cat toy that had soft fuzz on his back. About a month later, she started grabbing the blanket in her mouth and growling. Teebs would suckle and make biscuits on that blanket, which we assumed was normal because it wasn't very long after they were weaned. We put momma's blanket in a storage bin and the kittens usually slept there during the day. The other two ended up bonding strongly to my older boycat and we kept them. We found momma and two of the kittens a home. Also spite shitting everywhere even with her own space and so on. ![]() They were still weaning and she began attacking them, then be uncomfortable because she wasn't nursing so her nipples hurt. Her momma was a stray that I kept until she developed behavioral problems when the kittens were 3 mos old. She does it mostly when she's getting comfortable and about to sleep.įor some history, the Pica started when she was about 3.5-4 months old. The Pica is definitely not hunger related, as she will still chew on fabric after a meal she's satisfied with. She's also incredibly strong for how small she is. I will say this, she's got the best sense of smell I've ever seen in a cat. I will ask about Zylkene but if it's an expensive medication, I cannot afford to buy it and her refusing and wasting it. Hey, I was a vet tech for years before my disability took over! They said she may grow out of it, but she's over a year old now and her fabric eating compulsions still take her over. We resorted to gluing the damn fabric down to reduce the risk. yet if she finds a seam anywhere on it, she'll still chews. I had to take all of the fabric off our cat tree and replace it with upholstery fabric. We had to move most of our furniture into other rooms. I mean I literally soaked an entire chair, using half the bottle in the process, and she certainly hates the taste but The Desire™ consumes her. We tried Ole Reliable: Bitter Apple spray. We've tried replacing fabric types, but very few go unchewed. Her brain tells her that she must eat fabric. However, she's cost us a lot in vet bills. I have a beautiful black cat who's the most amazing and well behaved cat ever. Does anyone have any recommendations for sprays or advice on how to help her? The vet can only recommend fluoxetine and she's impossible to pill. ![]() TLDR My cat has pica(diagnosed by a vet) and has compulsions to eat fabric. ![]() 8/17/2023 0 Comments Tekken 4 iso highly compressed![]() ![]() You can speed through the game by using combos, and it’s even more fun to do so in co-op with your closest pals.
