(So don’t leave any pies cooling on the sill, Grandma.)Īnd sorry, Red: Trapping-live or otherwise-is an option, say our experts. Make sure you’re not attracting squirrels to the cottage: Move bird feeders away from the building, cut back overhanging branches, and remember that kitchen food smells-especially baking-will encourage them to climb right through open windows. Aluminum screens: Designed to resist rust and corrosion, aluminum screens tend to be slightly less effective in long. You may have only one problem squirrel eliminate its entry point, and by next summer- hasta la vista-it may have given up, moved elsewhere, or died. Here are some of the common screen types for storm doors available now: Galvanized steel screens: Inexpensive, durable and designed to resist rust and tears, galvanized steel screens are a smart, economical choice for any home. “It doesn’t make for the prettiest view,” he admits, “but you don’t need to keep it forever.” Try this double-screen strategy for a season (use washers and short screws to attach the screens, so you can kick them out in an emergency), and then take them down the following year. Either replace regular screens with heavier-gauge metal ones or, even better, says Gary Ure of Second Nature Wildlife Management in Kingston, add a layer of hardware cloth with 1/2″ openings or diamond-mesh lath on top of the existing screens. One way to keep them out-since the best way would be to turn your cottage into a windowless concrete bunker-is to change or reinforce the window screens. “They’re the most notorious little buggers for making holes,” says Glen Robertson of Robertson’s Wildlife and Pest Control in Coldwater, Ont. Red squirrels are the Terminators of cottage-country pests: unwavering, persistent, practically unstoppable.

![]() ![]() Make sure you lift as high as you can without arching your lower back. Now, lift your buttocks off the floor, by pushing off with your heels. Keep your lower ribs down, by engaging the abdominal muscles. For this, lie down on your back keeping your knees bent. Do 20 repetition on each leg.īridge Pose: This is another effective exercise to correct an arched back. Hold this for at least 5 seconds and then alternate the legs. Make sure not to arch your back and also do not rotate or bend forward. Keep your lower ribs down, by engaging your abdominal muscles. Standing Kick Back: This exercise requires you to stand upright and extend your leg backwards, until you feel your gluteals contract firmly. So, you need to perform some exercises to strengthen the glute muscles. If your buttock muscles are not doing their right job, the lower back tends to take over and thus results in an arched back. It is also essential for you to strengthen the glute muscles or activate the glute muscles in order to correct arched back. Hold this position for 60 seconds and then alternate the sides. Intend to feel a stretch on the side of your body to the lower back. You can reach your arm over, so as to emphasize the stretch. For doing this, you need to stand with your feet, shoulder width apart and bend all the way to one side. Lat Stretch: Lat stretch is yet aother effective exercise to correct arched back. Here, you need to hold the stretch for at least 60 seconds and repeat this at least 3-5 times on each side. You need to assume a deep lunge position, tuck your tailbone underneath you, remain upright and make sure that you feel the stretch in the front of your hip of the back leg. Hip Flexor Stretch: Hip flexor stretch is another stretch that you can do to correct arched back. Take deep breaths in and out, and do this for at least 60 seconds. You need to aim to feel a stretch in your lower back. Prayer Pose: This is a stretching exercise which requires you to kneel on the floor and spread and reach your hands as far in front of you as possible and sit back into your hips. NOTE: Do, not hold your breaths while you perform this exercise. Then, return back to the starting position and alternate opposite arms and legs. Make a note to lower as far as you can, whilst maintaining your lower back completely flat on the ground. Slowly, lower your left leg and right arm towards the ground. For doing this, keep your knees and hip bent at 90 degrees and feet off the floor, and arms straight up in the air. Alternate Arm/ Leg Drop: This is another variation of the dead bug exercise which you can try for strengthening your abdominal muscles and correcting arched back.Then, return back to the normal or starting position and alternate the legs. Make sure you lower the left leg as far as you can, whilst maintaining the lower back completely flat on the ground. Keep your right knee bent towards your chest and slowly lower your left leg towards the ground. Make sure you keep both your knees bent throughout the movement. For doing this, lie on your back with your hip and knee bent at 90 degrees and feet off the floor. Leg Drop(Bent Knee): This is one variation of the dead bug exercise.You must keep in mind that while performing this exercise, there should be no tension in the lower back, you need to keep your lower back completely flat against the floor, your chest should not flare out, and remember to engage the core and abdominal muscles throughout all movements.There could be few variations of this exercise, which you can try. Do 10 repetitions, on each side and take a break.ĭead Bug Exercise: This is a wonderful exercise you can do to engage your abdominal wall, so as to keep your spine in neutral. Hold this position for about 10 seconds, before lowering your extremities back to the ground and repeating the same with the alternate arm and leg. Then, lift and straighten one arm in front of you and take the opposite leg behind you without allowing your pelvis to tilt. For performing this exercise, get onto your hands and knees and flatten the lower back by engaging your abdominal muscles. Do 2-3 sets of this exercise, if possible.īird Dog: Bird dog is one more thing you can perform to strengthen your abdominals which would also help you correct arched back. Take rest, after completing 10 repetitions with each leg. ![]() Hold this tilt and then slowly alternate marching each leg up and back down again. Then, tilt your pelvis backwards as you flatten your lower back against the ground. For this, lie on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor.

![]() ![]() Nigel was surprisingly humble, self-deprecating and willing to re-live any number of his colossal screw-ups with a comedic timing that would knock your socks off. As I mentioned before, Nigel, being the hyper-technical yet undisputed expert of marine diesel engines and electronics, I expected him to be knowledgeable, yes. Nigel Calder’s “Lessons Learned Along the Way”: Hands-down favorite presentation for us at the show. I think it was Al Pacino who said it first, but Kretschmer sealed it for me:Ģ. The main just bangs around shadowing the head sail, often accidentally jibes and basically just drives you crazy. Our primary takeaway from his “Storm Sailing Strategies” seminar? “Forget about the main!” When downwind sailing, drop the main and just throw out the head sail. Kretschmer … where do I begin? This is a man who has crossed the Atlantic ocean more than 20 times and has taught and trained hundreds of mariners worldwide in hands-on storm tactics, yet he prefers to walk around the dock barefoot and hang with the everyday, no-name sailors. Kretschmer ‘s “Storm Sailing Strategies”: Ahhh … Mr. While we saw plenty of seminars–most were great, although there were a few snoozers (I will not name names)–here are the highlights:ġ. We had a checklist that we stuck by and tried to coordinate and catch the topics we were really interested in or certain “ sailebrities” we knew we just had to see. ![]() (And notice I said seminars not speakers – keeping it classy). I felt like Elaine on Seinfeld trying to decide which seminars were really “spongeworthy.” We only had four days at the show with a half-day committed to a hands-on sail class and, of course, the desire to check out all of the boats and “cool boat stuff” on display. They offered something for every skill level and interest. And, they offered so many different topics! From chartering to boat buying, ocean sailing, engine maintenance, navigation, tropical destinations, you name it. The Strictly Sail folks bring in speakers from all over the world–real experts in their field when it comes to sailing, cruising and crossing oceans. We did!! Sure, the Strictly Sail show is a great place to look at a ton of sailboats, but it’s also a great place to learn a ton about them, too. ![]() ![]() ![]() But I lost some megapixels in the switch. Switching to APS-C extended my field of view to 840mm. The right image used the smaller APS-C/Super 35mm mode. The photo on the left image used the full-frame sensor. The lens with a 1.4x extender had a focal length of 560mm. This table shows the conversion of popular focal lengths to their APS-C equivalents.Ĭompare these two images of a snowy owl taken with my Sony A7R III. This is the case even if the lens is for an APS-C camera. That means a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera becomes a 75mm lens on an APS-C camera.Ĭonfusingly, lens makers describe all lenses by their standard, full-frame focal lengths. If you attach a lens to a camera with an APS-C sensor, it results in a crop of about 1.5 (the exact factor is 1.43). This is the distance between the lens and the image sensor on a full-frame camera body. The focal length of a lens is measured in millimetres (mm). Focal Length Differences How Focal Length is Measured The real question is whether these differences are important to you. Your images may look different depending on which sensor you choose. Now that you understand the terms camera manufacturers use to describe sensor size, let’s dive into the differences between full-frame and APS-C cameras. Then, when an interesting bird flies by, you can switch to APS-C for a closer crop. You can use the full-frame sensor to shoot a landscape. This feature adds flexibility to your photography. This switches the camera quickly between full-frame and APS-C. You can customise one of the action buttons to toggle APS-C on and off. In this mode, the camera uses only the central part of the sensor and acts like an APS-C sensor. The full-frame Sony A7 series cameras, like the Sony a7R III, easily toggle between full-frame and an APS-C/Super 35mm crop. You can buy full-frame cameras that have an APS-C mode. This is about half as large (48%) as a full-frame sensor. Likely, the Classic format was selected because it has a similar aspect ratio (3:2) to full-frame sensors.Īn APS-C sensor is 25.1×16.7mm. It was probably because digital cameras soon started to appear.īut the idea of a smaller sensor size was adopted by digital camera manufacturers. Yet this film experiment never caught on. The film was about half the size of a regular negative. There were three APS formats: In the 1990s, companies like Kodak experimented with APS film. ![]() APS-C stands for Advanced Photo System type-C. ![]() ![]() ![]() Or create a rich ASMR experience that brings the audience out of their headphones and into a new reality. Consider 3D audio, a recording technique that mimics how sounds move - and how people hear them in real life - making it possible to conjure a waterfall or an explosion. Whether it’s during a livestreamed concert or in a playlist curated as an alternate online gaming soundtrack, brands that connect with audiences in these spaces should focus on ads that enhance the listening experience.

The ties have improved rapidly since March after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s government announced an initiative to resolve disputes stemming from compensation for wartime Korean forced laborers. Japan and South Korea have been rapidly mending their ties as they deepen three-way security cooperation with Washington in response to growing regional threats from North Korea and an increasingly assertive China. officials believe Russia’s defense minister recently talked with North Korea about selling more weapons to Russia for its war with Ukraine. The White House is looking to build on the recent diplomatic momentum and aims to use the summit for “institutionalizing, deepening and thickening the habits of cooperation” between the three countries as they face an increasingly complicated Pacific, one official said.Įarlier Monday, North Korea state media reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered a drastic increase in production of missiles and other weapons. Kim’s push to produce more weapons comes as U.S. Japan colonized the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945. The summit is the first Biden has held during his presidency at Camp David and comes amid a thaw in the historically complicated relationship between Japan and South Korea. The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss planning for the summit, said the announcements will be part of a broad set of initiatives that will be unveiled as President Joe Biden hosts Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for the one-day gathering at the presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains. WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States, Japan and South Korea are expected to announce plans for expanded military cooperation on ballistic missile defenses and technology development in the face of growing concern about North Korea’s nuclear program when the countries’ leaders gather at Camp David for a summit Friday, according to two senior Biden administration officials. ![]() |
