Sounds: While looks differ greatly, sounds between ‘Natural’ and ‘Brilliant’ cymbals may differ only slightly, if at all. The buffing process of cymbals that are lathed (with ‘tonal rings’ in their surface) will smooth the tops (‘peaks’) of the grooves, creating a smoother touch and look ![]() ‘Natural Finish’ cymbals are neither buffed nor polished, remaining instead in their natural state. Looks: The most noticeable difference is the look: ‘Brilliant Finish’ cymbals are machine buffed then hand polished to a smooth, bright and shiny high-gloss look. That’s what they’re designed for and that’s what they do best. Heavier models are great for playing loud and hard. ![]() Most players like a mix of medium-weight hats and ride with thin, medium-thin or medium crashes (not all cymbals are named by their weight some are named by their response or design features). The immediate response and decay of Sound Control crashes make these great for lower-volume accenting, though you may want to balance these (or other thin crashes and splashes) against a heavier ride. If you want faster responses, lighter sounds, and lower volumes, choose smaller and/or lighter models. Try a mix of darker (Hand Hammered, HHX) crashes and brighter hats and ride (AA, AAX, etc.). Select from just one series, or mix the various series to create the setup that you want to play.

This was also my first "project" using iMovie so please add a few comments. All of my knowledge is self taught and/or comes from trial and error. I have been using Adobe Photoshop 7 for about seven years and just recently switched to Adobe Photoshop CS. Another quick note: I have no prior knowledge on movie production or professional image editing. What resulted was a cool video and an instructable on how to use iMovie that I believe anyone can wrap their head around. I had this stuck in my head and thought it would make a funny video if I remade it with Instructables images as a slide show and used the audio from the commercial. In the process of playing with it and surfing this site I was inspired by another post to learn something new about iMovie. I have learned a lot about it in a very short time. If you own a Mac you already have this, SCORE! I recently purchased a new MacBook and I am really enjoying it. This can be accomplished with a lot of other software but iMovie comes with a new Mac.

Mortars have a wide attack range and should be placed in the innermost portion of your base. Mortar – Mortars defences provide splash damage to multiple targets. ![]() These defences include those that do splash damage or high levels of damage. Just outside of your most protected buildings, you should place your first line of defence. Inner most layer of defence just outside the bullseye This will make it more difficult to release the clan castle troops pre-attack and also ensure that your loot is well protected. Your clan castle allows you to add an extra layer of protection with clan troops (provided you are in a clan) and also hold all war loot.Ī suggested placement for your clan castle is in the middle of your base near your dark elixir storage. Spreading out storages makes it more difficult to steal all available loot.ĭo this: Clan Castle – Your clan castle should be viewed as both a defensive building and a storage. One critical mistake that many players make is placing all of their storages together in the centre of their base.Ī skilled raider will easily gain access to the centre of the base, thus stealing all of the resources. Storages should be spaced throughout your base and not in a central location. Other storages should be placed within your walls with defences (preferably splash) nearby for protection. It should be at the centre of your base, well insulated with defences. Outside of your TH, dark elixir storage should be your most protected building. Of the storages, the most important resource in the game is dark elixir. Storages – Unless you are designing a war base or in a full scale trophy push, your storages are the most important building to protect. This gives any invading enemy the chance for easy trophies while leaving your precious resource storages intact. In farming mode (solely focusing on resources to build your village), your TH should be placed outside your walls in the corner. Destroying it is the difference between a 1-star and 2-3 star attacks.įor trophy hunting, your town hall should be inside your walls in the centre of your base and well protected by defences. ![]() ![]() It’s the building you want to protect the most of any other. What’s in the bullseye? Town Hall – Depending on your strategy, you can either place your Town Hall inside or outside your walls. Think of your base as a dart board with the bullseye being the most protected portion of your base. When considering your base design, knowing what to protect and what not to protect is critical.Īs a general rule, your defences and storages should all be in a protected position inside the walls while other structures, such as army camps, should never be inside your walls. Here are our expert tips to keeping all your best stuff under lock and key. Outside of having a great strategy for offensive attacks, defensive layouts offer you the chance to protect resources you’ve produced or raided.Ī poorly constructed base can give your enemies easy access to your loot, your trophies, or your war stars, while a well-designed base can protect vital resources and keep your enemies (and their goblins) out. It all hinges on your base and how it’s designed.

Laser Cutting for Architecture Models by Balkan Architect_© 5. Since the laser cutting shop will charge for the time taken by the machine to cut the pieces for the model, it’s better to ‘overkill’ the overlapped lines so that the device doesn’t go over the lines twice and burn the material, which might leave a dark brown residue. It’s best to group the shapes that must be cut in groups. AutoCAD drawings should be made in a lower version for the laser cutting place to open since most shops will have a lower version of AutoCAD, for example, AutoCAD 2010. A laser cutting machine can either cut it or even engrave some details for the architecture model. Material thicker than 3mm is not suggested for laser cutting as it would be difficult for the machine to cut. The tutorial begins with an explanation of what material could be used for laser cutting, like highly compressed cardboard, balsa wood, or even specific type of plastic. Laser Cutting for Architecture Models by Balkan Architect Architecture Model Making Tutorial (Using a Real Project) by 30X40 Design Workshop_© 4. Analyses of the final output of the architecture model are done once all the pieces are assembled. Finally, basswood is used for the model as it’s dimensionally stable, easy to cut, and takes paint. At the same time, hot glue is used more for concealed connections that do not require precision. Next, white glue is used on exposed details as it gives a more precise finish though it takes longer to set. Next, the prepared contour is cut to a level where the model can sit properly. Floor plates are cut first, followed by walls and other features. After planning how to execute the model together, it is further broken into parts like floor, roof, walls, foundation, etc. In this tutorial, an architecture model is made using an actual project.

After editing the architecture drawing according to the thickness of the materials used and by using the ‘cut’ layer for lines that has to be cut, minor modifications like making the thickness of specific frames at least 1mm since the laser won’t be able to cut anything thinner than that is done. Details like brake lines and dashed lines for doors are removed from the AutoCAD drawing, further creating two layers, red for cut and black for the burn. After understanding the model’s purpose and scale, materials like MDF, whiteboards, dowels, and acrylics are used for model making.

Additional tips about cutting, blade management, gluing, and ways to keep the model clean are also discussed in the tutorial. Using inexpensive material is recommended as the model will be treated as a design tool and can be modified several times. Choosing the suitable material for the model is essential. Any material sturdy enough to hold the model can be used as a base. Considering a scale for the model is the next step, and after putting a pin on that comes the step of constructing a simple base for the architectural model to rest on. In this tutorial, the first step in creating a study model is to understand or define its purpose, for example, models used to test exterior shell design ideas, a variety of elevation compositions, material options, roof forms, interior-exterior spatial relationships, etc. In Architecture, models are design tools because these act as sort of 3D sketches which can be altered and used for experimentation.

In March 2018, UNDRR launched the Sendai Framework Monitor which allows countries to report on 38 indicators that measure their progress in achieving the seven global targets of the Sendai Framework and the SDGs on poverty (SDG 1), sustainable cities (SDG 11) and climate action (SDG 13). See more on the Sendai Framework at What Is The Sendai Framework Monitor? Its goals are to prevent new risks, reduce existing risks and strengthen resilience to natural and man-made hazards in order to achieve a substantial reduction of disaster losses. It was adopted at the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction on Main Japan and endorsed by the UN General Assembly on June 3, 2015. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 is a fifteen year, voluntary, non-binding agreement. What Is the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction? UNDRR has a secretariat based in Geneva and a couple of regional offices in Africa, the Americas, Asia & the Pacific, Europe and a liaison office in New York. These are just a few examples that UNDRR promote to convince governments to make the world safer. For example, many people from the Semilieu Island survived during the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean because they knew that when an earthquake strikes their island there is a high risk of tsunami and they have to run to higher ground. People who understand natural hazards and risk reduction are likely to survive during disasters. If the construction of hotels is prohibited up to 200 metres from the sea, tourists will be safer if there is a flood or a hurricane.Įducation is also a strategic measure to reduce the negative impact of natural hazards. If we build earthquake resilient houses in areas prone to earthquakes, people will have a much better chance of survival when disasters strike. On many occasions, earthquakes do not kill people, but houses do when they collapse. Many measures can be taken to reduce the impact of natural hazards. UNDRR proposes ways and measures to reduce the impact of disasters triggered by natural hazards. But if people living around the volcanoes are affected and even killed by the volcano eruption, in this case, the volcano eruption becomes a disaster. For example, if volcanoes erupt in a location where nobody lives, the volcano eruption is just a natural hazard, but not a disaster. Natural hazards, such as floods, earthquakes and volcanoes, do not need to become disasters. ![]() Why do we differentiate disasters from natural hazards? UNDRR stands for the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction and brings many organizations, governments, universities, institutions and members of the civil society together for a common objective: implement the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the global plan to reduce disaster losses by 2030.
