![]() ![]() There's a lot of stuff where, in terms of people we work with like the record label who are always doing different jobs - it's now like we've all worked towards this.It's about to come out so everyone's a bit nervous,” Harry told Australian radio hosts Fifi and Jules. “This is the bit where everyone kind of experiences the same feeling. ![]() Speaking about Midnight Memories recently, Harry admitted that the group were nervous about releasing the new record, despite it being their third. The first single off their upcoming album Best Song Ever shot straight to number one over the summer, so there’s high expectations for the band’s follow up. However, each perfectly formed little nugget of pop makes its way into your head just in the way you’d expect from a 1D album, and I hope they keep making them like this.Įven if I will still be listening in secret.Following the announcement of the single, the lads shared the story of their lives by treating their fans on Twitter to a few embarrassing – but incredibly cute – childhood pics. Some tentative rock influences do dart in now and then, notably in ‘Little Black Dress’, but you can’t listen to the album the whole way through without getting bored of the sound. It’s to their credit that the boys have had more creative input into this particular album, with Louis and Liam apparently writing most of the tracks themselves.I think their main issue is simply repetitiveness – they’ve cracked their sound and they’re keeping it, but perhaps keeping it too consistently. Some of the tracks even have an (almost)meaningful feel, such as ‘Half A Heart’. Stream songs including 'Midnight Memories', 'Story of My Life (Live X Factor Performance)' and more. 85 Midnight Memories, the third full-length from the 'X Factor'-formed quintet, follows up on what worked best on last years 'Take Me Home,' and tosses in some proficient new ideas to keep listeners eager for the bands continued evolution. ![]() I challenge you to find a more uplifting getting-ready-to-go-out song than ‘Best Song Ever’ after a dull day of essay-writing. Listen to Midnight Memories - EP by One Direction on Apple Music. The first two tracks, their latest singles ‘Best Song Ever’ and ‘Story Of My Life’, really show off their feel-good pop vibe. With this new album, they’ve not really attempted to move away from their squeaky-clean sound, but some sort of weird post-punk One Direction album would be so wrong. Not to mention that any 1D purchase inevitably puts more cash into Simon Cowell’s grubby little hands.īut one thing is hard to ignore that, though their success may be manufactured and image-driven, they’re still making great pop music. I generally dislike manufactured pop, and it’s pretty much universally agreed that artists with proper integrity write all their own songs and play their own instruments. The question you’re probably asking at this point is “WHY?” A few months ago, I’d have asked the same thing. This whole situation culminated in an ‘ironic’ (read ‘completely serious’) viewing of their film, This Is Us, in September. After that fiasco, I found myself quite regularly using private listening mode in order to hide my secret addiction. I realised this after receiving several texts asking why my Spotify profile showed that I’d been listening to One Direction for the past hour. I’m not a 13-year-old girl, but I have to confess that at some point during the summer, I somehow became a closet ‘Directioner’. After all, most 13-year-old girls would give it a five star rating before they’d even finished listening to the first song. A review of a One Direction album needs to be accompanied by a bit of context. ![]() So be careful and make sure your set up isn’t going to violate these rules. In most cases, a vehicle like a Ford F250 won’t pose issues from a weight perspective (it usually only weighs between 6,000 to 7,000 lbs), but when you add on a trailer, especially something like a gooseneck, which can weigh several thousands pounds empty and also tends to have high GVWR, you may run into trouble (particularly for the 10,000 pound part of the test that relates to the towed unit). Now I mentioned that many hot shot truckers use a pickup truck with a gooseneck trailer. Note: There are other categories of CDLs too which may apply, such as when you are hauling certain hazardous materials, etc. ![]() When Do You Need a CDL and Why Does it Matter?Īccording to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), you need a CDL if you meet the following conditions:Īny combination of vehicles which has a gross combination weight rating or gross combination weight of 26,001 pounds or more whichever is greater, inclusive of a towed unit(s) with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross vehicle weight of more than 10,000 pounds whichever is greater. ![]() It takes you through the process step-by-step and also includes additional ways to find loads (other than load boards). If you want to learn more about how to start a hot shot business, check out my full article on the topic. That being said, Class 8 semis are rare for hot shot loads and these vehicles are usually reserved for larger long distance loads. Hot shot drivers typically operate heavy duty pick-up trucks with trailers, but can also drive larger vehicles. Hot shot truckers deliver a wide range of cargo, including refrigerated items, manufacturing cargo, agricultural and construction equipment and materials, and much more. These types of loads can provide some nice opportunistic extra income for the truck owner-operator or trucking business owner. For example, when construction companies need something urgently (i.e., a piece of equipment broke down, etc.), a hot shot trucker gets the job done quickly and on short notice. What is a Hot Shot Business?īefore we dive in to the list, I think it’s important to give a proper introduction to hot shot trucking so we are all on the same page.Ī hot shot trucking business is a business where you haul smaller loads (less-than-truckload or LTL) that are often critical and time-sensitive.

I’ll also cover some introductory stuff around what is a hot shot business and what are CDL requirements and why they matter. In this article, I am going to cover 9 of the best load boards out there that you can explore to find these types of loads. You will want to use a load board that consistently lists these types of loads and filter your search to meet non CDL weight limitations as well as any other requirements based on your vehicle and tow set-up. You can get non-CDL hot shot loads through various channels, but load boards are one of the most reliable ways to get these types of loads. If you want to learn how to get a steady stream of non-CDL hot shot loads, you are in the right place. ![]() I plan to do some testing the next days and I also have an extremely long lens (an old Novoflex 600 mm) which could be part of strange constructions. a distance ring, a zoom lens with a nice (many blades) and very small closing aperture and a lens in reversed position in front of it with aperture wide open. I could also imagine that it is best to have the aperture in the middle of the optical construction we use e.g. If the sensor size is very small the light will hit the sensor with a sharp angle and thus less diffraction at the aperture. Lumix cameras which are great most of the times, use the same effect. ![]() I could also imagine that these macro photos done with e.g. I did not know why this should work - but now I know it. I do a lot of macro work and a couple of days ago I found a video at youtube where a photographer told, that he prefers macro photos with a long focal length and extended DOF as he does not like to do image stacking with short focal length and the time consuming process at the computer, afterwards. Thank you, Erik, for letting us know this fact. That's all you really need to know for using this type of camera. So, set it on "A" mode - about -.66 EV is a good idea to control the brightest parts of the picture and improve the general appearance of your images, and the camera takes totally automatic pictures by changing the shutter speed. Once you become more familiar with photography, you can use different apertures at the long zoom focal lengths where the diffraction effects do not apply. When you zoom out, you will see larger ƒ/ numbers although the actual "hole" remains the same, the changing numbers are just how many times the diameter is divided into the focal length - which is changed by zooming.įorget all you have ever heard about "stopping down for depth of field" - with this extremely short focal length you have extremely deep depth of field (Physics again, sorry). This "wide open" aperture is best for "low light" too - it lets in more light. There is no "downside" to this: the camera will then choose a shutter speed (from 1/2000th second right down to 1 full second). So setting the Aperture to ƒ/3.3 and LEAVING IT THERE will ensure the sharpest image the lens is capable of. This 3mm hole happens to be about ƒ/3.3, and going smaller than that (larger number - yes, its confusing) the blurring effect gets much worse. There is a critical size "hole" for visible light - approximately 3mm (1/8 inch). When light does this, it blurs the image. The waves are coming toward you in this photo: ![]() Here is a picture of water waves passing through an aperture, notice how the wave pattern changes and smooths (blurs) out. All waves do this, including light and water. There is nothing magical about this - but where the "Magic" comes in is that - due to physics again (sorry!) when light passes through a hole, it "scrapes" on the edges. (Divide the size of the opening in millimeters into the focal length in millimeters = the "ƒ/number" value. The aperture can be changed, and the numbers used to keep track of this are the RATIO of focal length to the size of the opening. The 'aperture' is the "hole" the light comes into the camera. The sensor is quite small, therefor the lens must have a very short focal length - usually about 4.3mm (that is approximately 1/3inch). "A" mode is the best for any of the pocket zooms, by any manufacturer. It is very likely that this is, indeed, the case. Thanks for the comment (should have read all the posts earlier!). "Hmm, I wonder if my better pics were taken using A mode. ![]() For more tips and articles like this, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ Pinterest, and Instagram.

The portion on the quarter is pretty small with the center running back 2.48 and the pinstripes having an 8.47 thick point. When you get to the back of the door, the stripe is thinner, with a 0.125 center, 0.046 space and 0.125 pinstripes. At the front, it's 0.343 center stripe, with 0.093 spacing and 0.125 pinstripes. It flows over the fender in the same size, turns back and gets a lot thinner and is centered on the center bodyline. ![]() The nose portion of the stripe is back 0.375, then it's a 0.125 pinstripe, 0.125 space, 4.187 center stripe, 0.125 space, and a 0.125 pinstripe. The other is when and where to start the taper in the scallop, as it's not a straight line. This is one of the two measurements the tech drawing doesn't show completely. ![]() The second one is the L48 option and looks very similar, but the stripe flows back into the quarter and stops about 12 inches or so from the door opening. ![]() □□ AECO Space | Master your SketchUp | SketchUp Woodwork Plugin.□□ Marceneria Provençal | Projetos e planos de corte com OpenCutList no SketchUp.□□ Melamina Ecuador | Despiece de melamina con OPEN CUT LIST 2021.□□ Lar7 Estudio | OPTIMIZADOR DE CORTES CON CANTOS PARA MELAMINA EN SKETCHUP PLUGIN.□□ Ab Ovo Estudio | ¡Como hacer una lista de piezas y de corte de un mueble en Sketchup!.□□ Guillermo Digital Artist | Plugin para despiece en SketchUp OpenCutList gratis en español.SketchUp: automatyczna lista elementów i formatek do pocięcia (BOM) ![]() □□ Strawbyte Workshop | Use Cutting Lists for Fast Cabinet Making with SketchUp and Open Cutting List (OCL).□□ Firebird Interiors | Cutlists made easy!

Some companies offer window coverings with automated options, which make them easier to operate, especially those located in hard to reach places. You may also want to try switching the ones that are opened and closed through the day to maximize light and heat from the sun when you want it. For natural light, open those window coverings that don’t get direct sunlight. In the summer, you may want to keep window coverings closed to reduce heat gain. If it’s winter and likely to be sunny, open the window coverings in the morning to allow the sun to heat your home through the day-especially those that receive direct sunlight. Don't fall into this habit - be strategic about which coverings you open and close throughout the day. Most window coverings are operable, and yet 75% of residential window coverings remain in the same position every day, according to a study by the U.S. Reduce unwanted solar heat gain through windows when it’s hot.Reduce day and nighttime heat loss through windows when it’s cold.In addition to the window coverings, storm windows with low-e coatings and/or multi-layer glazing are effective at improving thermal performance of windows and reducing solar heat gain. Window coverings can help with this loss of energy by providing comfort, regulating temperatures, and lowering energy bills. The exact savings will depend on the type of attachment, the season, the climate, and how the attachment is used. In cooling seasons, about 76% of sunlight that falls on standard double-pane windows enters to become heat.
