We might not be able to help distinguish exactly what it is that your furry feline friend wants, but by being able to identify some of the different sounds that cats make, as well as what these mean, you’ll have a much better chance of working out what it is your cat is trying to tell you! There is evidence that it can help people sleep, and acts in a similar way to meditating.Have you ever wondered what your cat is trying to tell you when they purr, meow, or chirp? Our gorgeous domestic cats use a wide range of vocal cues to express their opinions, with some cats being extremely loud when it comes to letting us know their feelings. However, even if you don’t experience ASMR yourself, preliminary research into the phenomenon is showing that the videos can still help with relaxation and reduce stress. Hissing is a signal that aggression will likely to follow if the situation doesn’t deescalate quickly. We’ve got moaning, purring, cat flaps, carriers and will be recording more soon. We’ve spent time to record a range of sounds that you’ll find useful if you’re looking for the perfect meow, be it from a hungry, agitated, angry or playful cat. 100 royalty free and available in both mp3 and wav formats.

Some people report that only certain sounds work to ‘trigger’ ASMR for them and others report no sensation whatsoever. When cats hissa sound that is similar to the hiss of a snakeyou should probably back off. The phenomenon found a perfect medium through YouTube, there are now hundreds of channels devoted to triggering ASMR videos of hair being brushed, make-up brushes on microphones, etc. The term was coined by a woman who had felt the sensation for years herself and found a growing community of like-minded individuals online that was seeking a word for the phenomenon.ĪSMR is a feeling that is described as a relaxing tingling sensation in the brain that can be triggered by certain audio or visual stimuli. Brain ‘tingles’ĪSMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. The clean sound of the purring kitten, the noises of him devouring the sausages, is a delight to the ears and eyes, whether you experience ASMR or not. ![]() The video was a hit and it’s easy to see why.

Or to use water or flow aid medium to improve the flow. However, the paint is thick, so it’s important to mix the colors thoroughly to prevent streaks. You can make the colors opaque by mixing transparent colors with titanium white. They blend well, and the resulting colors are vibrant. 32 are opaque, 28 are translucent, 13 are semi-opaque, and 7 are transparent. There are a total of 80 colors available in Winsor & Newton’s professional acrylic paint range. Mixing colors is simple and precise, and the resulting colors have a full, vibrant effect. I recommend diluting them with water or mixing it with white to see the different personalities each color offers. All the colors are highly saturated and rich, with excellent opacity and coverage. Winsor and Newton describe the Professional as the brightest range of acrylic paint, focusing on the brilliance of the colors even after they dry. The colors in the most popular 12-color paint set are the following: For the Winsor and Newton Professional, a little paint can go a long way. Painting directly from the tube is a waste and doesn’t give the best results. ![]() To get a smooth finish, I recommend soaking the brush or adding a little water to the brush before painting. The paint applies smoothly but also has a slimy, gel-like consistency. Translucent colors will need multiple coats to get the coverage you want. ![]() Hence, you only need to use a few layers of opaque colors to cover another color. The application of opaque colors is more thick and creamy, whereas the transparent colors are thinner. Coverage: Full coverage for opaque colors. You can get whatever color you want, but I recommend getting at least 5-7 colors and mixing them to achieve any color you want and practicing mixing and blending to elevate your techniques. The Winsor and Newton Professional is available in 80 different colors. It also holds the shape well after drying, so those who paint with texture will enjoy using this paint. It preserves brushstrokes if needed, so it’s also great to use for impasto techniques. Mostly no brushstrokes, rich colors, opaque, great coverage. They have great coverage and are easy to mix. The colors are extremely pigmented, and a little goes a long way. Like its name, Professional, the quality is there. I used primary colors cadmium red, phthalo blue, and cadmium yellow, as well as white and mars black from Winsor & Newton Professional series for this review. Winsor and Newton Acrylic Paint Review (Professional Series) Smooth application, but requires watering down Both dry to a satin finish, but with Galeria brushstrokes are more visible.ĭiluted, mostly semi-opaque and transparent Galeria colors seem brighter, more artificial, more transparent, and a touch softer than Winsor and Newton Professional. Professional coverage is on the left, and Galeria paints on the right. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To extract RAR files on macOS, you can make use of the free open source applications known as Unarchiver.

Or maybe you want to see if you can make potent-enough butter in just one hour. Maybe you want to experiment with extracting the cannabinoids from your herb at dfiferent temperatures. You can choose from various temperature and time settings (instead of simply turning your machine to the “infusion cycle,” as you would with the Levo Oil Machine reviewed above). It’s also easy to customize the infusion cycle on your own. The Magical Butter Machine stands out because it makes large batches, features an automated cleaning cycle, and comes with the popular Magical Butter Recipes. Enjoy!įind more Levo 2 Oil Infuser information and reviews here.īest For Experimenting with Magical Butter Recipes: Magical Butter Infuser Machine Then you simply place a jar below the spout, and press a button, and watch the machine dispense your beautiful green oil neatly into your jar. ![]() (I find coconut oil and olive oil more verstatile than butter, but, obviously, butter is delicious - especially if you’re planning on baking decadent pot brownies or cookies.)Ī few hours later, when the infusion cycle is over, the machine beeps its happy chirping noise at you. (It takes less than an hour.) When you hear it its cheerful chirping sound, you know that your THC has been fully activated. Your Levo 2 will alert you when that the cycle is over. You simply place your herb into a metal pod, cover it with the included silicone cap, and set your Levo machine to the “decarb cycle.” I’d been trying to refine my answers to these questions for years. You can Google the hell out of this step, but you’re always left with lingering questions: How hot should my oven be? How do I avoid burning the herb while decarb-ing it? How can I tell when the THC is fully activated? You can manage this step without a fancy machine, but it’s challenging. If you skip this step, you might end up with some lovely flavored oil, but it won’t work as medicine (or get you stoned). When you “decarb” your marijuana stash, you’re activating the THC. And that first step - called “ decarboxylation” - is critically important. Plus, when I was using my old method, the first step always threw me for a loop. It even makes a friendly beeping noise when it’s done. The Levo Oil Infuser solves that problem perfectly. And it was even harder to tell when it was done. And it was hard to get all the infused oil out of the pot on top. (In this method, you fill one pot with water, then place another pot on top, to prevent the oil from burning.) When I received one for free to test out, it totally changed my canna-oil-making world.īefore receiving my Levo 2, I’d been making infused canna-coconut oil the old-fashioned way. The Levo Oil Infuser is nothing short of amazing. (Or you can choose from five pre-set options.) Combined with the glass lid, this gives you great control over your oil-infusion process.įind more HighPlant HerbAblility Infusion Machine information and reviews here. You can set both the time and temperature manually using the buttons on top. It even comes with a tamper you push down to squeeze the last infused oily goodness from the plant material after the infusion cycle. The unit comes with a stainless steel strainer with tiny holes, which allow you to remove the plant material from your oil without using cheesecloth or getting messy. The lid seals tightly, preventing cannabis odors from filling your home. ![]() You can then infuse up to 550 milliliters of oil or butter (or over two cups) at once in the food-grade stainless steel canister. You can decarboxylate up to 1.5 ounces of herb at once. For a machine that can both decarboxylate and infuse your oil, it’s very affordable. It also features a glass lid, which means you can watch the decarb and infusion processes while they happen. ![]() The HighPlant HerbAbility Infusion Machine stands out because it includes a decarb feature. ![]() ![]() ![]() If it dries, it results in "dead" plaster that is uncured, and will just be dust that brushes off of the final wall. Remember, plaster needs to cure, not dry just like concrete. It is imperative that you keep it from fdrying out before it cures. While you are waiting, spray dry spots with water to keep the whole wall moist. Wait until it is sets up all the way through the whole layer. The surface will start to set up first and almost have a bit of a "crust" on it. You want it to be set up all the way through to whole thickness of the finsh coat. This is the part that I found hard to judge at first. Now wait until the finish coat of plaster starts to set up. Just flat and relatively smooth is what you want for now. ![]() Don't worry about that just yet, leave those lines alone for now. Once the wall is covered, go back over it to get it as smooth and flat as possible, but you will still have lines from the sharp edge of the trowel. For the basecoat, don't go back over it any more once it starts to set up, you'll only make things worse, not better.Ī day after the you do the basecoat, for the final finish coat, do most things just as described above, except for the finish troweling. If it's just the base coat, don't worry about smooth, you actually want a rough surface so the next coat will have something to grab on to. Go back over it before it has started to set up to get the thickness uniforn over the wall, and to make sure the surface is flat. Then continue with the next blob and so on until you have covered the wall section. Continue to spread and trowel it until it is approching the final thinckness. Apply a blob of plaster to the wall and while moving the trowel upward to press it onto the wall while trying to keep the blob from falling off. I got myself a good stainless steel trowel made by Marshalltown (I think that's the name). You'll need a hawk to hold a managable portion of plaster while you work, and then go ahead and apply with a trowel. If you are doing a base coat, mix it according to instructions, paying attention to not mix it too long. But don't put it on too far in advance, because you are supposed to do you plaster within a day or few days of application of the bonding agent. Allow to dry according to instructions, which I believe is something like letting it dry at least until it appears dry to the touch. I'll give you the condensed version of what I know:Īpply bonding agent with brush or roller, whichever is more convenient. I guess it was just a combination of talking to a professional, reading some books and websites, and just plain old trying it out and seeing what I did wrong. I'm trying to remember how I learned what I know about plastering. Sorry, I don't know of any videos or anything. It's different from applying regular drywall mud, so even if you think you are good at that it still helps to practice your pastering technique. ![]() It takes some practice to get the surface flat and smooth, and to know how long to let the paster set up before going back over it for final smoothing. If you have never done real plaster before, practice on some scrap drywall. However, in my limited experience, it seems to me that it would be the right thing to do and I would probably go ahead and do it if I found myself in that situation. I have not used bonding agent and veneer plasters over brick or painted surfaces, so I can't directly comment on that. So to get around this, that is why I just use the the bonding agent over regular drywall. Surprizingly, blue board is not available in my area, however, the veneer plasters that are to be used over blueboard are available. In your case, you could change the thickness of the basecoat, or eliminate it altogether. Since the drywall is 1/2", and the plaster wall is typically 3/4" thick, that accounts for 3/16" basecoat + 1/16" finish coat over the drywall to be flush with the original plaster. Then I do the coat of finish plaster over everything. ![]() Then I do the basecoat plaster over the drywall and also over the lath to create a smooth surface. I start by using Larsen's on the drywall patch and on all of the exposed wood lath. Sometimes I will put in a drywall patch that abuts some wood lath where the plaster has fallen off. Formatting link?query=cat:6&product=57 A lot of my use of this system is for patching up an old house that has plaster over wood lath. ![]() ![]() ![]() Eternal Word Incarnate, Redeemer of the human race, convert all souls to Thyself, since for them Thou wast obedient, even to the death of the Cross.

Finally, we are exhorted to pray and to work for that unity which results from our own humble obedience, respect, and loyalty to the Apostolic Authority of the Church, which will, in fulfillment of Christ's promise, remain with us as His very own Presence, even unto the consummation of the world. The Church also prays for that unity which draws her faithful children closer together in a spirit of humility and charity, by their fervent living of the great "law of love" taught by Jesus Christ Our Lord. To imagine, as do the liberal ecumenists of our day, that we can achieve "unity" by pretending that those outside the Church do not stand in desperate need of conversion, is to deny the foundation of Christ's True Church, and to renounce the very reason for the heroic apostolic labors and martyrdom of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. Thus, each of the days of the Chair of Unity Octave is dedicated to prayers for the conversion of some poor segment of mankind which is still "walking in darkness," imploring that they may open their hearts to God's grace, and return to the true Shepherd of their souls. Therefore, His Church has now, and will always have, that Unity (or oneness) of teaching, worship, and government which is so evidently a sign of truth, "the same yesterday, today, and the same forever." It was for this reason that Christ established Peter as "the Rock", or Foundation of His Church, against which the Gates of Hell could never prevail.Ĭonsistent with Christ's words, therefore, the only unity for which the Church and her faithful children can pray, is that which results from the conversion of those who are outside the One, True Fold of the Church. As Jesus asked "that they may be one.", His prayer was immediately granted by the Eternal Father, as it was the request (on the very eve of His death) of His Only Begotten Son, to Whom nothing is refused. As Catholics know, one of the chief essential "Marks" (or visible qualities) of the Church established by Christ is that Unity for which He prayed at the Last Supper. These eight days of solemn prayer for Unity possess a doctrinal significance which is of critical importance. Paul-for the observance of "The Chair of Unity Octave" in which eight days are set apart for solemn prayers entreating God to unite His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Peter's Chair at Rome until the Feast of the Conversion of St. Thus, She has reserved eight days of solemn prayer-from the Feast of St. Paul, a "vessel of election" for the spread of the infant Church. Peter, with Her veneration for the zeal and holiness of St. Holy Mother Church has always united her praises for the Prince of the Apostles, St. The Feast of his Conversion is observed on January 25th. Paul the Apostle likewise came to Rome towards the close of his apostolic career, and was also martyred there for Christ. This Feast also enshrines the solemn dogma of Papal Infallibility, and the Supreme Apostolic Authority conferred upon St. Peter did in fact travel to Rome to establish his See, and there shed his blood for our Crucified Savior Jesus Christ. Yet, following his seven year reign in Antioch, St. Peter's Chair at Rome on January 18th was instituted in response to the ridiculous rumor spread by ignorant Protestant heretics that St. Peter is the Foundation Stone of Christ's True Church (cf. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is located about 125 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
