Breaktime images8/13/2023 The intermissions in Kabuki theater can last up to an hour. Many modern productions of Shakespeare plays have thus eschewed the introduction of an intermission, choosing instead to perform them straight through, as originally intended. But it took sometimes as much as forty minutes for stage crew to remove the scenery, which comprised a "massive set of columns and a doorway" designed by Tobias Hoheisel, a period that was longer than the remaining length of the performance, some thirty-five minutes. This allowed the striking of the scenery. Pimlott had placed the intermission after act 4 scene 1, after the action leaves Rome. ![]()

![]() Now, it's going to happen any time soon, but I could definitely imagine myself choosing to use this foundation on my wedding day. Ideal for a night-out or a special occasion, it looks amazing in photographs, giving no flashback or ghostly white-cast. But, it doesn't look dry or chalky and gives a sheen to the skin that's flattering and not greasy-looking. ![]() Instead of leaving behind a dewy or tacky residue on the skin, it dries down completely, which you wouldn't necessarily associate with a luminous formula. Like the name suggests, it gives a subtly glowing, satin finish, but it's not the most radiance-boosting foundation out there. Similarly to the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, you could get the wrong idea from the name of this base, if you hadn't read up on it before. Thankfully, it soon dissipates after application. ![]() Although I'm glad this base is fragrance-free, as it's unnecessary and can cause irritation, it smells like paint. That’s right, this high-end foundation is now available for free, giving you the opportunity to try it out and see why it’s a must-have for any beauty routine. On my skin, it doesn't emphasize those fine, vellous hairs on the face, sink into any fine lines or accentuate my pores, like other fuller coverage foundations can do. For a limited time only, you can receive a free 10-day sample of the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation simply by registering at. Although, some redness and very stubborn blemishes can refuse to be disguised with the foundation alone, so concealer is still necessary if you want to camouflage absolutely everything. But, as it's build-able, you can easily layer coats of the foundation in areas where you need some extra help, to really achieve that flawless, perfected look, without skin looking completely false and caked in a mask of makeup. Depending on how clear your complexion is to begin with, a single pump of product gives a natural, healthy finish and allows your skin to still show through slightly. Giving a medium to full coverage, it looks deceivingly sheer when you first smooth it on, but as soon as you begin to buff, that perfect canvas starts to appear. With a hydrating formula, it's comfortable to wear and doesn't feel heavy or suffocating. Oil-free, the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation has a thick, gel-like texture, which feels very smooth and light.

Light schedule for germinating seeds8/13/2023 Go ahead and keep using those old shop lights if that’s what you have. 32 watt, T8 bulbs have worked pretty well for me. Typically you will need two ballasts, side by side for each shelf, as pictured below. Be sure the ballasts fit the width of your shelving unit. If you already have fluorescent shop light ballasts, then full-spectrum fluorescent tube lights should be sufficient. As an example, check out these myths about LED grow lights. Thirdly, the science with regard to lighting is extremely technical and often misunderstood. Secondly, lighting technology is always changing, so a model that may have been expensive and inconsistent a few years ago may now be leading the pack in affordability and/or reliability. In reality, there are three reasons why this debate continues.įirstly, there’s a difference between the needs of commercial growers growing exclusively under lights and home gardeners who grow seedlings to a certain size before transplanting them outside. Many experienced growers swear by inexpensive shop lights, while others insist that the best quality comes from specialized grow lights. ![]() The type of lights to use for indoor seed starting is a topic of great debate. However, I’ve managed fine with single-side access to my wall-mounted shelves. I think it’s easiest if you can access both sides of the shelves, which is why I recommend the free standing units. Why buy two shelving units when you can do it all with one? Just be sure to compare the height of your ceiling to the dimensions of the shelving unit before purchasing. In total, this unit can hold 10 nursery trays, double what other 6-tier shelving units can hold. The reason I like this particular wire shelving model is because each shelf can hold two standard nursery trays (22″), which is uncommon for this style of shelving. If wall-mounted shelves don’t work for you, try building your own wooden shelves or purchase a free-standing, 6-tier wire shelving unit. After the new year, I condense my storage vegetables and make room for starting seeds on these shelves. Throughout much of the year, these shelves act as a root cellar where I store harvested vegetables such as garlic, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. I use wall-mounted wire shelves in my mudroom. The shelving unit you choose determines a lot of things, such as the size of your lights as well as how much of the other equipment listed below you will need. Grow a garden that’s both productive and manageable with my Complete Garden Planning System, which includes practical tools for planning your season from seed to harvest. You may also want to check my Year-Round Gardening Guide which details to-do lists for each month. If you’re starting seeds for fall, check out When to Start Seeds: Your Guide to Fall Planting. Once you know your frost dates, you can set a schedule for starting seeds indoors using my article When to Start Seeds: Your Guide to Spring Planting. When to Start Seeds Indoorsįor most people, your frost dates determine when to start seeds. ![]() Ultimately, you won’t find two gardeners who start seeds indoors exactly the same way, but the following is the system that has worked for me for many years. If your budget doesn’t allow for starting seeds under lights just yet and you intend to use a windowsill, heat mats can be extremely helpful. Modern windows may only transmit 25% of ultraviolet light, while older, plain-glass windows may only transmit 80% of light.Ĭheck out this comparison of seedlings grown on a windowsill vs. Some gardeners start seeds in south-facing, sunny windows rather than under lights, but success with this method can be inconsistent for a variety of reasons such as lack of daylight hours, extreme temperature fluctuations, and a reduction in UV light by the windows themselves. Instead, you can start seeds out in the garden when the weather warms up (for some crops) and buy seedlings from a local farmers’ market or nursery for those crops that need more time to develop. However, there is an initial investment to acquire the equipment and materials, so if you’re new to gardening or are super-busy, then it might be better, initially, to skip this step. It’s simple when you follow these instructions, and it gets easier with practice! Starting seeds indoors under lights is quite the process, but don’t worry. However, this step-by-step guide demystifies the seed starting process and helps you get started with confidence. Starting seeds indoors under lights can seem intimidating. |
