However, we felt like the resort took things seriously, which we appreciated. Check the latest info from the resort here. We didn’t spend a ton of time in the room – too much to do! – but it was perfectly lovely.Ĭancun dropped to “green” for the first time in the pandemic the weekend we arrived in Mexico, so Moon Palace was still at limited capacity. The king bed was very comfortable and cleaning staff was very attentive. We loved (let me emphasize this, LOVED) the jet tub in our room with a view – a lovely way to relax at the end of that strenuous day at the resort (lol). The actually room was (maybe) a little small – we didn’t think so – but I can see how some people used to more spacious accommodations might think so. As you can see from the map above, the building are laid out in a zigzag pattern, which definitely helps that. People were not walking right next to the buildings, so it was very private in every section. We had a “Superior Deluxe Ocean View” – and while we almost always upgrade to an ocean view when traveling, this is one resort I think I would not have minded being at garden level. And we loved the wristband that also contained our room key! There are buses running between the three resorts, so you can hop between them very easily. Personally, I don’t envy the one who has to clean all that glass – but I appreciate how sparkly everything was. The bar is right there in the center with helpful staff all around to get you settled in. While Nizuc perhaps did not scream “Mexico!” – it sure is gorgeous. I love walking into a resort and having a “wow” reaction. We enjoyed the more chill vibe over in Nizuc! So, it really comes down to what kind of energy you are looking for. (But Nizuc also has a water slide!) Sunrise has a longer list of entertainment and restaurants – but again, you can go back and forth between them. That side has the wave rider and and a really fun kiddie pool. Sunrise would definitely be my choice if we had young kids with us. We liked that as a couple traveling without children. That is especially true of Moon Palace!īoth sides are very nice, and as stated on the Moon Palace website, “Unless Moon Palace Nizuc is selected at the time of booking, accommodation may be assigned in either section according to availability.” However, Nizuc was smaller and a bit less crowded (although, we were there off season). You actually can see airplanes flying over quite frequently – but don’t worry, you cannot hear them! Coming from Denver, I always say that we love getting on a plane in the morning, then relaxing at a resort in Cancun by the afternoon. Moon Palace is is a very quick trip from the Cancun airport, around 15-20 minutes, tops. In a nutshell, we really enjoyed our stay! Map of Moon Palace Cancun – Sunrise, Nizuc & GrandĪs a photographer, I took many photos, so I hope that all the info below helps you really get a feel for the place… But sure to scroll to the bottom for large galleries from both Nizuc and Sunrise! We could have purchased a day pass to the Grand, which – as you can guess by it’s name – is more grand, but we opted to concentrate on the two available to us – because there was PLENTY to do there. We stayed at Nizuc (in the middle), and visited the Sunrise several times. Now there are three (!) in a row – Sunrise, Nizuc and The Grand. I have wanted to visit the Moon Palace Cancun for years, back when it was just one resort.

In addition to bone density patterns and mechanical properties, subchondral bone also dynamically adjusts trabecular orientation and scale parameters in a precise relationship with principal stress. Subchondral bone is a very dynamic structure and is uniquely adapted to the mechanical forces imposed across the joint. It exhibits significant structural and mechanical anisotropy that is, the bone trabeculae shows preferential spatial orientation and parallelism. Subchondral trabecular bone has an inhomogeneous structure that varies with the distance from the articular surface. Relative to the subchondral bone plate, subchondral trabecular bone is more porous and metabolically active, containing blood vessels, sensory nerves, and bone marrow. Subchondral trabecular bone exerts important shock-absorbing and supportive functions in normal joints, and may also be important for cartilage nutrient supply and metabolism. Īrising from subchondral bone plate is the supporting trabeculae, which comprises subchondral trabecular bone, together with deeper bone structure. Channels are narrower and form a tree-like mesh in regions where the subchondral plate is thicker, while they tend to be wider and resemble ampullae where the plate is thinner. Channel shape and diameter also differs with the thickness of the cortical plate. These channels are preferentially concentrated in the heavily stressed areas of the joint. The distribution and intensity of the channels depend not only on aging, but also on the magnitude of the compressive forces transmitting through cartilage and subchondral bone within and between joints. A surprisingly high number of arterial and venous vessels, as well as nerves, penetrate through the channels and send tiny branches into calcified cartilage. It is invaded by channels that provide a direct link between articular cartilage and subchondral trabecular bone. This cortical endplate is not an impenetrable structure, but possesses a marked porosity. Subchondral bone plate is a thin cortical lamella, lying immediately beneath the calcified cartilage. Importantly, we focus on the microarchitectural and histopathological changes of subchondral bone in OA, and provide an overview of their potential contribution to the progression of OA. We also discuss factors that influence the integrity of subchondral bone. In this review, we summarize basic features of a functional joint unit comprised of subchondral bone and articular cartilage. Some histopathological changes in the subchondral bone have also been detected, including microdamage, bone marrow edema-like lesions and bone cysts. Despite the increase in the number of trabeculae and bone volume, subchondral bone is hypomineralized and of inferior quality, as a consequence of abnormal local high bone turnover. Subchondral bone deterioration is commonly associated with articular cartilage defects, and subchondral bone sclerosis, together with progressive cartilage degradation, is widely considered as a hallmark of OA. Īlthough OA has long been considered as a primary disorder of articular cartilage, the contribution of subchondral bone to the physiopathology of OA is arousing interest. As a slowly progressive degenerative joint disorder, OA is characterized by cartilage damage, changes in the subchondral bone, osteophyte formation, muscle weakness, and inflammation of the synovium tissue and tendon. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common leading cause of pain and disability in the aging population. A hypothetical model for the pathogenesis of OA is proposed. We also focus on the microarchitectural and histopathological changes of subchondral bone in OA, and provide an overview of their potential contribution to the progression of OA. Importantly, we discuss risk factors influencing subchondral bone integrity. This review summarizes basic features of the osteochondral junction, which comprises subchondral bone and articular cartilage. Despite the increase in bone volume fraction, subchondral bone is hypomineralized, due to abnormal bone remodeling. Subchondral bone sclerosis, together with progressive cartilage degradation, is widely considered as a hallmark of OA. It is commonly reported to play a vital role in the pathogenesis of OA. Although OA has long been viewed as a primary disorder of articular cartilage, subchondral bone is attracting increasing attention. As a progressive degenerative joint disorder, OA is characterized by cartilage damage, changes in the subchondral bone, osteophyte formation, muscle weakness, and inflammation of the synovium tissue and tendon. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability in the adult population. Feige added, should the film be made, it would feature an ensemble of characters, similar to X-Men and The Avengers. I think they've been revamped recently in a fun way in the book." Feige reiterated that sentiment in a September 2011 issue of Entertainment Weekly, saying, "There's an opportunity to do a big space epic, which Thor sort of hints at, in the cosmic side" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige first mentioned Guardians of the Galaxy as a potential film at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International, stating, "There are some obscure titles, too, like Guardians of the Galaxy. He remained a regular member of the series cast until it was canceled with issue #25 in 2010. Besides a brief appearance in a 2006 issue of Exiles, Rocket Raccoon was next seen in 2007's Annihilation: Conquest and Annihilation: Conquest - Star-Lord limited series, and their spin-off series, a new volume of Guardians of the Galaxy. The character only appeared in a total of ten comic books in his first thirty years of existence. Rocket appeared in Quasar #15 in 1990 and later appeared in three issues of Sensational She-Hulk in 1992 (#44–46). In 1985, he received his own four-issue limited series and in an afterword to the first issue, Mantlo himself asserted that this was the same character seen in Preview, penciled by Mike Mignola and inked by Al Gordon with Al Milgrom. He would next appear in The Incredible Hulk #271 (May 1982), where it is learned that "Rocky" is short for "Rocket". Rocket Raccoon first appeared in Marvel Preview #7 (Summer 1976), in the back-up feature "The Sword in the Star", under the name "Rocky". The comic book character was created by Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen, and inspired by the Beatles song " Rocky Raccoon". Rocket made his first appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), and has become a central MCU character, appearing in six films as of 2023, in an episode of the I Am Groot series of animated shorts on Disney+, and in the TV special The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022). Rocket then assumes leadership of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Later, he and the Guardians make their base on Knowhere before coming into conflict with Rocket's creator, the High Evolutionary. Following their success, Rocket joins the battle against an alternate Thanos, and rejoins the Guardians after their victory departing for space. Five years later, Rocket and the Avengers quantum time travel to alternate universes to find the Infinity Stones. Following the Blip, Rocket remains on Earth as a member of the Avengers. They then come into conflict with Ronan the Accuser and Ego. Rocket is a hot-tempered mercenary and weapons expert who, along with his companion Groot, joins the Guardians of the Galaxy. Rocket was based on movements from Sean Gunn and an actual raccoon named Oreo. Rocket Raccoon, commonly referred to simply as Rocket, is a fictional character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise voiced by Bradley Cooper and based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.

MacOS is the only one with a concept of proxy icons. The very concept of "a window" is pretty different across platforms. I suspect that there is a market for what you describe, but maybe it's somewhat niche. There was one product that I recall that fits your description - Imagineer from Intergraph - but it got discontinued. Either implement one's own code, or one licenses from Siemens PLM (expensive) etc. (SolidWorks and Autodesk Fusion 360 sketchers both implement their unbounded geometry constraints/dimensions using the D-Cubed DCM2 constraint management component licensed from Siemens PLM.) To implement what you want one needs at least some of the features from DCM2. * Disclaimer: Way back around 2001/2002, I worked on the Solidworks sketcher, and also before that used to work for D-Cubed Ltd. >It also needs to export to some standard format to be used for print, so using SolidWorks of Fusion360 isn't really an option, I can't export the vector 1-to-1 onto a pdf and do proper colors with those. >I would like to have more technical and fine-grained control over the way my drawings are made, than what pulling with my cursor on those handles gives me.īut for everything else (color/fills etc.) you would export to other software >I cannot for the life of me figure out bezier curves to create arc sections with proper radii that blends into another line, and abusing adding and subtracting shapes from each other is a cumbersome process and editing the final shape often requires me to start all over creating that composite shape. I had some thoughts of writing some software a bit like that, and would be interested and hearing what would be the feature set for a minimal viable product. I have "Mac vector graphics app fatigue". I can tell this is going to be severely underpowered. The price of Amadine is a turnoff: $20 is simply nowhere near enough to support the depth of features that a vector graphics app needs. I love to hate on Adobe as much as anyone, and it's definitely not a very Mac-like user experience, but when it comes to making graphics, Illustrator is an absolute beast. If you haven't read it, you don't know half of the little usability tricks that they've packed in there. Their manual is an inch thick (or, it was 20 years ago) and extremely well-written. No matter how swanky the new CoreImage APIs are, you're not going to catch Illustrator in a year or two. Hell, Affinity Designer is 5 years old and arrowheads are still on their to-do list.Īfter 20 years of futzing around with Mac graphics apps, Illustrator is still the best vector graphics app I've ever used, and the newcomers aren't even more Mac-like (which seems like it'd be a low bar). There's 10 little obvious things it's missing that you assume will get added real soon, but it turns out there's actually 1000 things it's missing, and they keep picking other little things. Being a small company in a huge market, their support suffers. They just aren't terribly Mac-like, and they have all sorts of little bugs that never seem to get fixed. A couple weeks later, I end up regretting my purchase. They all have flashy demos and claim to be great Mac apps (well, except Inkscape). I tried demos for everything else I could get my hands on. Work for multi-platform: macOS, iPadOS, iOS.I bought iDraw (back before AutoCAD bought Indeeo). It allows you to export a selection, a sheet, or the entire document, so you have full control. You can input image files with formats like PNG, JPEG, SVG, EPS, TIFF, PDF, and save your work in PNG, JEPG, EPS, TIFF, and PDF file formats. It also provides you juicy colors, with an inner glow, outer glow, shadow, and blur effect to add depth to your illustration for a more stylized look. To Draw and edit paths through high-end pen tools, brushes, and precision-driven curves creators with various stroke effects. It enables you to use functions, including Move, Selection, Eyedropper, Scissors, Lasso, Eraser, Zoom, to select and modify objects. It provides more than 30 tools for selecting, drawing, editing, slicing, and typing, with a neat and well-balanced UI to guarantee you a smooth workflow.Īmadine gives you a supreme level of control over modifiers. In that case, Amadine is an intuitive vector graphic drawing tool to help Mac users get the design project started with ease. If you are about to design for posters, brand logos, website, user interface, or book illustration on your Mac. For those with Macs, there is an alternative product called Inklet () that turns the touchpad into a graphics tablet. Graphics tablets will work on all devices with a USB connection including Apple Macs. One is the use of a small graphics tablet that plugs into the laptop – the One by Wacom is a reasonably cheap and a well-recommended tablet. For those where it is not native to the device, some solutions have proved popular. The use of digital ink makes a significant difference in how the pupils use the device. Having a second charger in their bags is useful, as if they do run out of charge, they will have the ability to charge their devices. The device needs to be fully charged when it arrives in School – can you please make sure that the device is charged overnight? Whilst there are some charging facilities in class, not all pupils can use them at once. There are a few things that it is worth bringing to your attention. Now that we are a few weeks in, the pupils are becoming adept at finding their way around the software and becoming familiar with the foibles of their own devices and the technology has become, as it should be, a tool to support their learning. The app runs in the background while you’re using compatible programs such as Photoshop, Photoshop Elements. The start of term required not only the pupils, but the staff to get used to new hardware, software and a different way of working – all against the difficult backdrop of Covid-19. Inklet by Ten One Design is the first 3rd party application for Mac that offers this. There are three parts to the strategy – the delivery of lessons through our digital mediums, the recording of notes from pupils in OneNote and the assessment and return of work through Microsoft Teams and OneNote. Inklet can make the trackpad pen tablet just by downloading, it is $ 24.95 (about 3000 yen) only for software, the stylus pen which is the best for Inklet " Pogo"The bundle set is $ 34.90 (about 4100 yen).This term has seen the implementation of our digital strategy. In addition to Photoshop software Pixelmator, Sketch, AcornIt corresponds to. Conventional multi-touch trackpad and 2015 model New MacBook ProYa MacbookIt corresponds to the Force Touch trackpad that is installed in. Inklet is available on all MacBooks since Mac OS X 10.6. Similarly, it is possible to change the drawing color of the pen by selecting the color palette on the upper right. When you release your finger from the Tab key, the work area becomes effective, so you can move the stylus pen and erase the picture drawn with the eraser tool. Hide the work area and select the eraser tool from the left tool box. While pressing the Tab key, the work area is hidden. It is also possible to use Photoshop tools such as the eraser tool from the trackpad. As a new feature brought by Windows 10, Pen and Windows Ink are the tools which are devoted to facilitating various operations on Windows 10. When I released my finger with the frame line drawn, I could create a work area of that size. If you place your thumb and forefinger on the trackpad and move your index finger with your thumb as a fulcrum, a gray frame line will be displayed. Pressing "Ctrl + Option + W" further hides the work area once. Pinching with the trackpad allows you to change the size of the work area and turning it around by swinging the thumb around the fulcrum turned the work area. If you move two fingers on the trackpad, you can move the working area on Photoshop. You can adjust the thickness of the line by pen pressure. The trackpad became a pen tablet, and it became possible to draw a picture with a stylus pen. "Work area (work space)" that can be drawn with the track pad appears in Photoshop. Inklet's demo video shows how you can use the MacBook's trackpad as a tablet.įirst of all, launch Photoshop and press "Ctrl + Option + I".

Are EPIRBs allowed on planes? The TSA says to check with your airline. These nifty devices are intended to save your life if you’re lost in the wilderness or at sea by sending your location to emergency responders. 6Įmergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacons “Out of respect for the deceased, TSA officers will not open a container, even if requested by the passenger,” the agency says. It may be better to bring them in your carry-on luggage in a lightweight container that can be easily screened. While the TSA doesn’t generally prohibit carrying cremated remains in checked luggage, some airlines do. Even hair dye can fall into this category. Examples include chlorine, strong acids, paint stripper, drain cleaner, etc. If a chemical could be considered a hazardous material (hazmat), don’t put it in your luggage. If you require oxygen, you must carry a portable oxygen concentrator or ask your airline to provide oxygen service. Oxygen tanks, SCUBA tanks, butane, propane and other compressed or flammable gases are not allowed in checked or carry-on baggage. While seemingly harmless, they’re not allowed on airplanes because they contain a tiny amount of gunpowder.

In 2021, the Transportation Security Administration confiscated 5,972 firearms at security checkpoints-not to mention a cleaver, a can of bear spray, and a chainsaw. However, it was not just fans of Ariana Grande who were upset over the entire situation. On Twitter, there were plenty of users who dragged the singer over the decision to put her name to the Starbucks drink. Many of these fans were upset over the fact that Ariana Grande would be partnering with Starbucks on a drink that does not align with her own personal beliefs and dietary habits. Once it was determined that Starbucks would be unable to offer a vegan version of the Cloud Macchiato, many fans took to social media to express their displeasure over this disappointment. Even the caramel that Starbucks uses contains dairy, which means one can not order a caramel Cloud Macchiato and make it vegan friendly. Without the foam, there is no Cloud Macchiato. Even if a customer orders the drink with soy or almond milk, it does not account for the cloud foam. The problem is that there is simply no way to make this beverage without the egg white powder. Plus, seeing the singer drinking a Cloud Macchiato on her social media, seemed to be all the proof they needed to have fans believing they could pick up one of these creations without having to worry about any dietary restrictions. As a known vegan, many fans believed that this would mean that the drink inspired by the singer would also be vegan. When it was announced that Ariana Grande was partnering with Starbucks, there was a lot of excitement from fans. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as egg white powder is one of the main ingredients used to make the foam cloud that tops both the Cinnamon and the Caramel Cloud Macchiatos. It seems that there are some fans of both the coffee chain and the singer who are feeling bamboozled over the ingredients used in this coffee confection.Īccording to “Delish,” the reason for the upset stems from the fact that Grande is a known vegan, which led many of the singer’s fans to believe the drink would also be vegan. We'll soon know if Grande can sell coffee as well as she does downloads.Starbucks and Ariana Grande may have made a mistake with their new Cloud Macchiatos. "It's quite popular," my barista replied when I asked how it was selling. My store had a sign for the Cloud Macchiato prominently displayed on the drive-through menu board. She may already be doing the job for Starbucks. Her most recent album, Thank U, Next, soared to the top of the Billboard 200 chart when it debuted last month. Most recently, it has peddled a cherry mocha and cinnamon shortbread latte, joining the fervor in fast food for limited time offers.īut neither of them had the star power that Grande is lending to the Cloud Macchiato. Starbucks, like many fast food outlets, is trying to generate traffic in what's typically a slow season between holiday drinks and warmer weather iced drinks that now make up roughly half of its sales. The tall has 120 calories, which isn't bad for one of Starbucks' concoctions, while a grande has 180 calories. My tall version cost $4.45, before tax, while a grande version is $4.95. Sophisticated drinkers might be reminded of the texture of a Tom and Jerry, the egg white-rich drink that's whipped up during the holiday season, minus the alcohol, of course.Īlong with the fluffy foam, the Cloud Macchiato includes espresso, vanilla syrup, a drizzle of caramel for the caramel version, and cinnamon for the cinnamon version. The effect reminded me of something like a melted fast food milkshake-sweet, not exactly liquid, but not exactly solid, either. The ingredients include sugar, arabic gum, egg white powder, rice protein, citric acid, sea salt, something called natural flavor, and xanthan gum. The first thing I tasted was the cloud topping-or "fluffy foam" as Starbucks calls it. The Cloud Macchiato treads much closer to one of Starbucks' sugary Frappuccinos, although it has a stronger note of actual coffee.
