![]() It is also an excellent swimmer using its long tail to help propel itself through the water. Allowing it to be able to get away from predators quickly. It can run across water for short distances. The Green or Plumed Basilisk lizard, also known as the Jesus lizard can “walk on water”. “A recent study suggests that gecko adhesion is mainly determined by electrostatic interaction (caused by contact electrification)”. There is a lot of research into how these actually work. Their feet have tiny little hairs called setae. Some geckos such as Tokays have very specialised feet, which allow them to climb vertically on surfaces, even glass. They do this by projecting their tongue from their mouth with huge force, reaching the insect in as little 0.07 seconds. They are primarily insectivores, feeding on insects with their long sticky tongues. Lizards have some very unique adaptations, Chameleons are a prime example with the way that they feed. How to help native lizards like slow worms is at the bottom of this blog. In fact our native slow worm is a legless lizard. The main difference is that legless lizards have eyelids, meaning they can blink, whereas snakes have no moveable eyelids. ![]() A lot of people think these are snakes, but in fact they are lizards. There are over 200 species of legless lizard. Most lizards have four legs, but there are some exceptions. Lizards can be found in 6 of the 7 continents, everywhere except Antarctica and most oceanic islands chains. From the smallest, the Jaragua Lizard measuring in length 16mm, to the largest lizard in the world, the Komodo Dragon, growing to lengths of up to 3m. Those 4 (but sometimes no) legged reptiles come in all different shapes and sizes. This week’s blog is in celebration of lizards.

![]() I have switched too late to Final Cut Pro X and its lets say 100x better and you pay once and will get updates for life. they will try to never refund you any money with lousy tricks. so if you get 10% - 20% of usable templates you will be quite lucky.Īnd they´re support is not good, and if you want to get a refund then you will see why they are a chinese brand LoL. If you want to compete with the some of best you need to buy the premium addons and even though there are better alternatives, Like Premiere or Final Cut Pro. you have 40-50 or even more but extremely basic that are useless to use in 2023. I remember when i have started using it, it sound really cool but after awhile i saw the need for a lot of features that normally werent there, for example lower thirds. thats true if you purchase the premium add-ons, otherwise you will be very limited in terms of fonts, lettering, transitions, etc. I have used Filmora for somes years and what you state is not as its seems to be, let me explain you talk about in thousand of music, titles, transitions, etc. Please share your thoughts below about the two and help others decide. With that said, thanks for reading this piece. If you want something more than just social media, you should try PowerDirector. If you want a video editor for social media, Filmora is great. PowerDirector has more options and utilizes AI features like wind, background noise, and sky removers. In terms of features and layout, both are similar. Overall, looking at the pricing, PowerDirector is more expensive than Filmora. The PowerDirector Suite 365 also includes PhotoDirector, ColorDirector, and AudioDirector. You will also get 50 GB cloud storage and future updates. The PowerDirector 365 will cost you $76.99 annually and provide more text titles, transitions, and effects. PowerDirector also has a one-time fee plan. The Perpetual package that charges a one-time fee costs $79.99 and provides updates until the current software version. If you like to edit videos on multiple platforms, the Cross-Platform plan lets you download Filmora on all supported devices and edit the project. The Annual package is only offered on Windows and supports future updates. PowerDirector Pricing and Plansīoth come in a wide range of plans. Overall, PowerDirector has more audio editing features. It also has equalizing, noise reduction, AI wind removal, and generating audio effects. You can edit the duration, shift pitch, change audio speed, and more. PowerDirector has some built-in audio sounds and many sound clips. You can also customize the pitch and equalizer of effects. It also has an option when to fade in/out the audio in the video. ![]() The audio editor allows you to change the speed of the audio or play it in reverse.įurthermore, the program supports adding more than two audio files simultaneously. Let’s figure out the audio options for the Filmora vs. Audio editing and sounds Adding Background Music in PowerDirector It also brings 39 live particle options to add to its premium versions. PowerDirector has approximately 470 Video effects and over 1,000 Pip (Picture in Picture) overlays. The app also has the option to add elements (PiP) similarly. You can also add multiple effects to a single video. Those can give your videos a vibrant look, beautify it, or add patterns. PowerDirector can take this round easily. You can also edit and change the position, alignment, color, and style of the title. The layouts are categorized so you can easily choose what style you want, for example, weddings, festivals, etc. PowerDirector, in comparison, has about 400 title layouts. You can edit the title style, alignment, and color fill to make your video pop. Text titles Adding Text Titles in PowerDirectorįilmora, with its extensive collections, has approximately 2,000 ways to add titles to your video. PowerDirector, on the contrary, offers 438 unique transitions that could give your video the spark it needs. All the transitions are online, so an internet connection is required to download. Tools comparison table Transition effects Adding Transitions in Filmoraįilmora has up to 950 transitions to make your videos fun and exciting. PowerDirector: Tools Editing toolsīoth Filmora and PowerDirector offer the following editing tools. In PowerDirector, you must go into tools and find the features you seek, which sometimes becomes confusing. However, in my experience, Filmora is easier to use because more audio/video features come in the tab when you add them. Practice is required as both have many options. Like Filmora, it works on macOS and Windows, while a mobile app is available to edit videos. Developed by Cyberlink, PowerDirector is an easy-to-use tool helping users to make intuitive videos. ![]() "Fangoria Resurrects the Chainsaw Awards Celebrating the Horror Movies Oscar Missed".

"USC alum is the man behind the Michael Myers mask". Honoring his portrayal of Michael Myers, October 19, the film's United States opening day, was officially proclaimed James Jude Courtney Day in Warren County, Kentucky from Warren County Judge-Executive Mike Buchanon. Level 9 (TV series, stunts, stunt driver) Unsolved Mysteries (TV series, 1 episode)īabylon 5 (TV series, 2 episodes, stunts)īuffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series, 1 episode, stunts) In January 2019, Courtney was nominated for Best Actor at the 2019 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, alongside acting partner Nick Castle, for his work in the 2018 film Halloween. However, a 2018 interview with Courtney revealed that Castle's screentime was minimal and that the great majority of the work under the mask was done by Courtney himself, which led to the question of whether the return of original Myers portrayer Nick Castle had been misrepresented by the production. The December 2017 announcement of Nick Castle's participation was widely reported as his retaking the role of Michael Myers he originated, with James Jude Courtney only doing additional work as the character. Courtney used John Carpenter and Castle's work on the original film to determine how the forty years that transpired between the events of the films would inform the character over time. So I sort of carried that movement and the non-judgmental approach to the way I moved as The Shape, which I learned from my cat Parcival." He referred to collaborating with Castle as an "honor", while Castle described it as a "passing of the torch". And the beauty of it is we don't judge a cat for what a cat does. Courtney tailored his portrayal to those specifications from observing an actual cat, "I think cats are the most perfect hunting machines on the planet. Green explained to him his vision for Myers' mannerisms, an amalgamation of Castle's original performance and the addition of an efficient cat-esque style of movement. Courtney was suggested to producer Malek Akkad and director David Gordon Green by stunt coordinator Rawn Hutchinson for his ability to do both physical stunts and genuine acting, auditioning afterwards and receiving a phone call in December 2017 affirming that he had landed the role. Īt 6'3 Courtney played Michael Myers in David Gordon Green's horror film Halloween, a sequel to John Carpenter's 1978 film of the same name, in which original Myers actor Nick Castle reprises his role. In 1997, he gained wider recognition with his role as Der Kindestod in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode " Killed by Death". He made his acting debut in the 1989 film The Freeway Maniac and continued acting through 2002. He continued his acting studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and was coached by renowned acting teacher Stella Adler. At Universal Studios, Courtney met actor Brian Thompson and stunt coordinator Alex Daniels who led him to branch out as a stunt performer. Courtney applied his martial arts skills to the highly physical role which demanded high falls and sword fights and resulted in multiple injuries during performances. There, he started working at Universal Studios Hollywood as a tour guide before he was cast as Conan in the Conan the Barbarian live show. ![]() ![]() He went on to major in journalism at the University of South Carolina in 1981 and subsequently moved to California to pursue his career as an actor. Ever since fourth grade, Courtney was determined on becoming an actor, making short films from fifth grade through college. Courtney, born James Jude Herbkersman in Portland, Ohio, was raised in Columbia, South Carolina as the eldest of seven brothers. ![]() Bonus Print do offer a matt finish for their prints. So in conclusion I would recommend using Bonus Print and although in this test I printed gloss (this was just so it was a fair test as all the companies offer gloss) I would recommend always going for a matt or lustre finish. ![]() However, I was impressed by Photobox and particularly Bonus Print. Obviously none come close to a professional print lab, but I wouldn’t expect them to. We’ve got a neon baby where the colours have been so over saturated and lots of red and magenta – bleugh. The colours had a slight magenta hue, but overall they were pretty good.Ħ = Snapfish (£0.09p/print, £1.49 delivery, arrived second) The colours weren’t as bad as the Tesco print, but the blacks and shadows were so deep, far too dark.ĥ = Photobox (£0.19p/print, £2.99 delivery, arrived first)Īgain in person this wasn’t bad. The colours are practically neon and there’s a very strong magenta and yellow hue.Ĥ = Boots (£0.42p/print, printed in-store) In person this isn’t actually that bad, there’s a slight magenta hue but overall the colours were a good match, as was the contrast.ģ = Tesco (£0.40p/print, printed in-store) I’m not being all cloak and dagger, but comparing the professional printers is a minefield in itself, so I’m just including this as a benchmark.Ģ = Bonus Print (£0.14p/print, £2.99 delivery, arrived third) However the difference between the standard of prints is shocking. I will caveat that all of these prints did look better in person, unfortunately every form of scanning/photographing resulted in degradation. So I picked a photo that I felt would be a good test and sent it to 5 different photo labs to be printed as gloss 6×4 inch prints.Īnd you honestly won’t believe the difference between the prints I received! I decided enough was enough, we need to get to the bottom of this. ![]() The professional print labs are only accessible by professional photographers, so where is the best place for everyone else to print their photos? This is a question I get asked a lot as a photographer.īut having only used professional print labs for the last 3 years, I genuinely couldn’t give an informative answer. ![]() "Super resolution" and "Multiple exposure (moving object)" composite modes added Professional edition onlyīy implementing the unprecedented high-quality demosaicing technology, images with even higher resolution levels can be created.

Zebra danio won’t grow past 2 inches but will make up for it via their energic and relentless demeanor. These 2-inch fish are some of the most popular specimens you can get for your community tank. ![]() This fish is omnivorous, so it requires a rich and varied diet to thrive. You can always rely on mollies to clean the tank of algae, but don’t expect them to survive on algae alone. Mollies rank as algae eaters in the wild, and they have retained this feeding tendency in captivity as well. Make sure there’s enough space for both your mollies and the loach, and you shouldn’t have any problems accommodating the two. ![]() Mollies are friendly with most of their tankmates, especially the ones that they won’t interact with. Keep its water temperature between 74 and 82 and aim for water hardness around 15-30 dGH for optimal results. These can grow up to 5.5 inches, live up to 5 years in good conditions, and don’t need much to thrive. They’re also easy to breed and maintain, making them ideal tankmates for Kuhli loaches and many other fish species. Mollies are small, diverse, and joyful livebearers that display just as much color and pattern diversity as guppies, if not more. Regular fish shops overstock guppies, often causing them to interbreed, which is a hotline to producing fish with genetic faults.īeware of guppies hybrid with features that can diminish the fish’s lifespan and affect their quality of life. I’m telling you this to highlight the risks of buying guppies from unverified sources. This is the main reason why guppies rank as the most hybridized fish on the market today. They don’t need any special breeding conditions and can produce hundreds of eggs in one spawn. Guppies are astounding breeders that will produce offspring every month. ![]() Guppies aren’t prone to any specific disease, but they tend to be sensitive to improper water conditions.įortunately, they will share space with the Kuhli loach, so much of the tank’s maintenance routine will fall under the loach’s prerogatives. Guppies prefer water temperatures around 72-82 F and clean water conditions to prevent skin parasites and bacterial or fungal infections. They make for great companions for other peaceful species, especially bottom feeders, given that guppies occupy the tank’s higher regions. These gorgeous, adaptable, and peaceful fish will fit in any community setup. There isn’t much I can say about guppies that hasn’t been said already. If not, you can allow your tetras to breed in the main tank and simply let nature take its course. If you want to save your future tetra fry, consider investing in a breeding tank. This means that your loach will have a field day when the tetra spawning season comes. Neon tetras are egg-scatterers which is another way of saying that they spread eggs everywhere. These fish also love planted habitats and an environment that they can explore at their hearts’ content.Īny rocks or decorations you might add will be more than welcome, especially since loaches appreciate them in equal measure. You most likely require 30-50 gallons to make sure there’s enough space for both tetras and the Kuhli loach(es).Īim for a water temperature of 73 to 83 F and clean living conditions to keep your tetras happy and comfy. When it comes to overall setup, consider at least 20 gallons of space for one tetra group of 6-8 members, although more is always better. They like to live in schools, so you need around 6-8 or more of them for a stable and thriving population. Neon tetras are notoriously hardy and active fish occupying the tank’s medium and top areas. So, which fish species make for compatible tankmates for Kuhli loaches? Let’s talk about it! 1. If you want a livelier and more colorful aquatic setup, you need to consider going for a community tank. Kuhli loaches are shy and will spend their time burrowed in the substrate or hiding around caves and rocks in their environment. These fish rank as bottom lurkers and substrate diggers, so expect them to be less active than other species. These eel-like fish are the perfect companions to a thriving community setup in a lush and healthy ecosystem.īut there’s also no doubt that Kuhli-only tanks aren’t as lively as you might expect. There’s no doubt that Kuhli loaches make for a fine addition to any aquatic setup. ![]() At 36 grams, it's unnoticeably heavier than the Dyon and a few dollars more expensive. The wire gate is more conventional than the Dyon, but like the Dyon it's completely snag-free, as DMM has effectively eliminated the notch on the nose.

Updated September 2023: We've added Black Diamond gloves, as well as new picks for carabiners. You can get by with any flexible clothes (no jeans!), but I suggest you veer toward technical synthetic layers for climbing outside. You're also not going to be a climbing lead until you're more experienced, so I've omitted items like rope and quickdraws, which your climb leader will have. I'm keeping it simple and affordable in this guide, since it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the jargon for technical gear. Whether you're indoors or outdoors, you're going to need some essential gear. But it's fine to start outdoors if you fall in with the right climbers or enroll in an American Mountain Guides Association–accredited course. Most climbers get acquainted with the safety routines, jargon, and gear when climbing indoors. Put your trust in the gear we've assembled here in our guide for climbing gear for beginners, which will provide everything you absolutely need and nothing that's just marketing fluff. The lingo sounds like an entirely different language-basically Cockney rhyming slang-and then you're also hyper-aware that your life literally depends on getting it all right. Factor in the promise of falls from great heights, and it's no wonder that most people gave more knots in their stomachs than in their ropes when they first start climbing. |
