![]() ![]() You haven’t gotten any stronger, but the length of the iron increases the pressure applied on the nut. ![]() So you go and grab your tyre iron–the added length of the iron increases the pressure through leverage force, and the nuts loosen. You try to loosen the nuts with your fingers ( direct pressure, like a snaffle), but the nuts won’t budge. How? Well imagine you need to change a flat tyre. ![]() Any bit with long shanks–Weymouth, Pelham, Dutch Gag, Elevator bits–employ a leverage effect with pressure on the poll and across the lower jaw with this level of force getting stronger the longer the shanks are. The curb chain acts on a nerve that runs under the jaw and combined with the action of the mouthpiece, encourages relaxation and flexion of the jaw, and retraction of the nose. Leverage bits employ pressures across the lower jaw and tongue, the poll, and if a curb chain or strap is fitted it also applies pressure to the curb groove. The Leverage or Curb bits again have wide variations within the group, from long-shanked western styles to the Weymouth in a double bridle, the Pelham and the misnamed Dutch Gag. This month, we are looking at Leverage or Curb bits in the same way. Last month we looked at the first of the bitting groups–the Snaffle, and how to define and describe one, as well as how they work and what they are good for. Bitting expert Anita Marchesani breaks it down. Understanding the function of the leverage or curb bit is a good first step in deciding if it could be a good fit for your horse. ![]()

![]() ![]() As the living city increases in population, so does the periphery of the tombs of the dead and the realm of the unborn, both of which serve the living as they “visit the dead and decipher their own names on their stone slabs” and “frequent the house of the unborn to interrogate them” on their own lives, not the ones yet to come. In Laudomia, the city is composed of three identically named sides: that of the living, the dead, and the unborn. What is the aim of the city under construction unless it is a city? Where is the plan you are following, the blueprint? We will show it to you as soon as the working day is over… they answer. When one asks if stopping the construction will cause the city to fall to pieces, the reply is: “not only the city.” Soon, it is made apparent that this constant work is being ordained by the cosmic order of the stars, and though this does not directly compare to the threats of global warming, both are natural conditions that call for an architecture to abide by them, to prevent Thekla’s demise. This notion is apparent in the city of Thekla, which is constantly under construction “so that its destruction cannot begin”. ![]() As a result, global environmental change will dictate architecture’s role more than ever, in order to mediate this and assume a coexistence with its landscape. Now in the age of the Anthropocene, our definition of what constitutes as natural is more varied than before, given our drastic alteration of the natural world in which architecture itself is complicit. According to others, the gods live in the buckets that rise, suspended from a cable, as they appear over the edge of the wells… The city’s gods, according to some people, live in the depths, in the black lake that feeds the underground streams. The importance of water is further embodied in the people’s shared cultural understanding its importance both as a substance and in formulating a kind of landscape architecture, hold elements of the divine. One example is that of Isaura, a “ city of the thousand wells” built over a deep lake, where “the inhabitants dig long vertical holes in the ground and succeed in drawing up water, as far as the city extends.” Water, as a vitality of life, is a major driving force behind the formation of a necessary architectural typology (in this case, the dam) as well as the relationship between the city and its people. Nature plays a key role in many of the cities that Marco describes, at times dictating with a certain omnipotence the very functioning of architecture and the behavior of its inhabitants. Image © Karina Puente FrantzenĪrchitecture’s Reliance On Nature’s Omnipotence So, for each city, after the fundamental information given in precise words, he followed up with a mute commentary, holding up his hands, palms out, or backs, or sideways, in straight or oblique movements, spasmodic or slow. Marco himself resorts to a more abstract identification of cities, providing genuine translation not possible through the specificity of visual wordplay. Though architecture is fundamentally a visual field and medium, it is important to allow for an unintentional evolution of meaning and understanding through one’s own sensory experiences, as a result of a slightly passive hand of the architect. Polo describes the city of Tamara, laden with signs of all sorts, where “the eye does not see things but images of things that mean other things.” This is telling of our current over reliance on distinct symbolic communication, and a reduction of the image to encompass certain connotations. Yet, the impact of this highly visual culture seems to go unnoticed at times. And yet each piece of information about a place recalled to the emperor’s mind that first gesture or object which Marco has designated the place. Now his accounts were the most precise and detailed that the Great Khan could wish and there was no question or curiosity which they did not satisfy. This demonstrates our inherent reliance on specific imagery to create understanding a facet that is an integral part of architecture. Throughout the narrative, 55 versions of city life are described with enthralling character, the first of which is Diomira, “a city with sixty silver domes, bronze statues of all the gods, streets paved with lead, a crystal theatre, a golden cock that crows each morning on the tower.” Details such as these constitute the overall visual communication between Marco Polo and us, as we assume the role of Kublai Khan, contributing to the successful creation of fictional cities through typologies and artifacts. Much of Invisible Cities’ charm can be attributed to the specificity of its writing, and as a result, its narration. Visual Specificity As A Cultural Language ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the biggest and most well-known tech companies in the world is Meta (formerly Facebook). According to Meta, the phrase “metaverse” describes the connected environment that connects all of the company’s goods and services.

Even some of the taskbar restrictions put in place seem to be aimed at improving usability, perhaps in touch or tablet mode. That's quite a few changes if you think about it, proving that Windows 11 is a substantial new version of Windows and not just a cosmetic revision to Windows 10. Apps are no longer allowed to customize areas of the taskbar (although this didn't happen often in Windows 10).Note: The Taskbar settings allow you to align taskbar icons. On the Commands tab, leave the Menu bar option button selected, leave Menu Bar selected in the list next to that option, and then perform one of the following sets of steps. On the menu bar, select Tools > Customize. In the Taskbar settings, scroll to see the options for customizing, choosing icons, and much more. Add, remove, or move a menu on the menu bar. Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, and then select Taskbar settings. When Focus Assist is enabled, you'll see a crescent moon icon beside the clock. If you want to change multiple aspects of the taskbar at one time, use Taskbar settings.Clicking the date and time shows a list of your notifications as well as a calendar.There's no " People" option in the taskbar.Ribbons The ribbon is a rectangular area that fits across the top of an application window.

Life jackets are provided if you are not a good swimmer or are scared, but if you are not going to swim, then I don't think it would be worth it. There were some people from our group that just stayed on the boat. Our captain drove our boat into the middle of the lake where we had quite a bit of time to swim. Once on the boat, we were offered soda or rum and soda. Our group was guided to get on the boat before it was over, but I don't think we missed much. When the sun started going down, they had an amateur dancing and entertaining show. There was also a tv where they had a video from a Damian Marley concert playing. We ordered some rum cream and the best coconut rum cake I have ever had! Although it was a bit expensive (~$20), I would buy the rest of that rum cake and forget the rum cream if I go again! While we waited, there were chairs in the grass where we could sit and chat. There was also a bar to order drinks and food while we waited for it to get dark enough to go on the boat. We took a bus to the Rock Wharf where there were locals setting up tables to sell their handmade items. Or maybe even negotiate.Along with the adrenaline-filled excursion we went on the day before, this was our favorite part of our honeymoon! We booked the excursion to go here through our hotel Bahia-Principe with Scubaquatics. If you try to take the pics yourself from the boat they wont come out. If you want one, this is the best way as they have the right kind of camera and know how to take them properly so that you can actually see yourself in the water with the glow all around you. The picture guys will try to sell you pics of you in the water. I didn't give them much because they didn't give me much that time around. They all expect a tip when you return, but it is not mandatory. ![]() It could have been better, like it used to be. He just drove us out and one of the younger guys gave a brief description and then let us swim. The boat captain is usually quite friendly and talkative giving a great narrative of the tour, but this time we had a quiet guy who didn't say much. They let you swim around for about 15-20 mins. It's completely safe and a wonderful experience. I highly recommend swimming if you can as that is what this tour is all about. On the tour a couple guys will be on the boat and will be taking your pictures while you swim (should you choose to). The "bar" at the boat launch is very understocked, basically rum punch with the cheap stuff and nothing else. They have a gift shop there where there were actually some good deals I should mention. Next time I'm going to skip the meal and just go right to the boat tour. I mean come on, they are out of strawberry daquiry mix? And every other mix? Doesn't know what to put with vodka? Seriously? The menu is quite simple and the same items every time I go. There is a fine dining restaurant there, but the bar is severely understocked and the bartender doesn't know how to make anything, or doesn't have the stock to make anything. Should you go? Absolutely, but the amenities have gone downhill in the past few years. It is close to where I stay, not too expensive and certainly a once in a lifetime experience that you will never find anywhere else. ![]() ![]() ![]() Photos of smiling faces are particularly eye-catching on social media!
