![]() According to Takeuchi, only females can be Sailor Guardians. The DIC Entertainment/ Cloverway English adaptation of the anime changed it to "Sailor Scout" for most of its run. Takeuchi created the term by fusing English and Japanese words. The name "Sailor Senshi" comes from sailor fuku, a type of Japanese school uniform that the main characters' fighting uniforms are based on, and the Japanese word senshi, which can mean "soldier", "warrior", "guardian", or "fighter". When Sailor V was proposed for an anime adaptation by Toei Animation, Takeuchi changed the concept to include Sailor Venus as a part of a " sentai" (team of five) and created the characters of Sailors Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. Naoko Takeuchi initially wrote Codename: Sailor V, a one-shot manga which focused on Sailor Venus. The manga's anime, live-action, musical, and video game adaptations feature some original characters created by the production staff and not by Takeuchi. After the Codename: Sailor V manga was proposed for an anime adaptation, Takeuchi changed her concept to include ten superheroines who defend the galaxy. Takeuchi's initial concept was a story called Codename: Sailor V, in which Sailor V discovers her magical powers and protects the people of Earth. The series' antagonists include the Dark Kingdom, the Black Moon Clan, the Death Busters, the Dead Moon Circus, and Shadow Galactica. ![]() They are later joined by Chibiusa (Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask's daughter from the future) and four more guardians: Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn. The series follows the adventures of the titular protagonist, Sailor Moon, her lover Tuxedo Mask, her cat advisor Luna, and her guardians and friends: Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. While many of the characters are humans with superhuman strength and magical abilities, the cast also includes anthropomorphic animals and extraterrestrial lifeforms. The ten Sailor Guardians are named after the planets of the Solar System, with the exception of Earth but including its moon. Own theme colors and a unique elemental power. Each Guardian undergoes a transformation which grants her a uniform in her The series takes place in Tokyo, Japan, where the Sailor Guardians ( セーラー戦士, Sērā Senshi ), a group of ten magical girls, are formed to combat an assortment of antagonists attempting to take over the Earth, the Solar System, and the Milky Way galaxy.

![]() ![]() Since heat rises, the smoke rises out of frame very quickly. It does have the same issue that almost all other smoke machines have: The process of making the fog uses heat, which means the fog is hot. This looks like perfectly cromulent smoke to me. The hose attachment allowed me to connect a small rubber bit of tubing (hose) to introduce the fog more strategically in scenes-think coming from a chimney, or a fired weapon, as opposed to always coming in from screen left or right. I tossed a 6-inch Mezco One:12 Collective Spider-Man figure onto a black background, added a simple key light, and pointed the MicroFogger at it. I wanted it simple in order to make the fog a major part of the image. To give this unit a test, I set up a shot. The only attachment I picked up was a hose attachment. The MicroFogger has a threaded tip that allows one to add various diffusers and other attachments and whatnots to help control the smoke. No one ever said photography, even toy photography, is a cheap hobby. That said, the price does prevent me from absolutely recommending this as a must-have device for most toy photographers (though spoiler alert: it’s worth the money if you have the means). But similar devices with the same specs can cost 5–10 times that, so it’s not crazy for what it is. Its price is rather steep for such thing. The spec sheet says the remote can be used to control multiple units, but I only have the one (for a reason that will become apparent), so I couldn’t test this, but given the fact that everything else worked as advertised, I have no reason to believe this isn’t true. The device comes with a remote control, which has a range long enough for any toy photography purpose. The build quality is excellent, as this is a hefty little device. The cool thing is there are controls to adjust exactly how much smoke comes out-from almost nothing (appropriate for a minifigure), all the way to more than enough for your average 12-inch (1/6 scale) figure. It does, however, kick out a rather large amount of smoke. It is about 6 inches long, and a couple inches wide and deep, and charges via USB, so it travels easily in a camera bag. Vosentech’s MicroFogger is a compact bit of kit. Though, to be fair, calling this a review is a bit of a misnomer, as this is more my adventures with it instead of a full on test-it-thoroughly review. In fact, they don’t even know I’m writing it. As such, Vosentech had absolutely no influence over this review in any way. These are my adventures, and opinions, of the MicroFogger 2 by Vosentechĭisclaimer: This review is based on a device I paid for with my own hard earned money. When I discovered from a YouTube video on movie making that such a solution actually existed, I jumped at the chance. I knew exactly what I wanted: a vape stick that blew itself, instead of using lung power (cancer is not my friend). Unfortunately, they all felt like incomplete solutions to my problem: Making a realistic amount of smoke-not too much, not too little. ![]() I tried Atmosphere Aerosol, reptile misters, other smoke machines, and even invented my own solution. ![]() I have been on the lookout for a decent toy-scale fog machine for a long time now, but I never could find the perfect tool. ![]() The pricing is pretty good, as I have seen other small foggers that retail for over $900.Like most toy photographers, I like to put practical effects into the images I create, but the scale of toys makes it hard to find perfect tools for the job. They are available direct from and retailers around the world. Pricing for a kit will be approximately $350. Kits are coming as well, which include some accessories. The MicroFogger 5 Pro, as a single unit, will retail for approximately $250. It can fill a cup or bowl with fog and dissipates slowly. The kit includes a hose with a diffuser/liquid fog attachment that makes the fog sit lower on a surface. The fogger has a small controller that allows you to trigger several MicroFogger 5 Pro’s simultaneously or four individual groups. This will also increase the use as it uses less of the fluid that creates the fog. You can also lower the intensity for a more subtle effect. One full tank gives you about 10 to 15 minutes of continuous use. Again, this makes it possible to have less downtime. The design of the MicroFogger 5 Pro also has a more robust build and a hot-swappable fluid tank. Now the user can swap the battery out for continouse fogging pleasure. The new version has a removable battery as opposed to an internal one. At Cine Gear 2023, Vosentech showed their new MicroFogger 5 Pro mini fog machine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Capital Buildings replace some Politician jobs with High Priest jobs.Great care is taken to preserve the environment and limit consumerism where possible.

![]() ![]() This may be a concern not only for those experiencing side effects, but also those who are worried a COVID-19 vaccine isn't working because they didn't have a reaction.ĭr. That was also true during the clinical trials. “Having your toes turn purple is uncomfortable but it’s not a reason to not get the second dose,” Freeman said.For some people, the second dose in a COVID-19 vaccination series is causing a stronger reaction and more side effects than the initial dose. They can cause red or purple swelling of the digits and are likely linked to inflammation of the blood vessel walls. Also called pernio or chilblains, the skin sores or bumps occur on a patient’s toes, and in about 10% of cases on the fingers. Among those who did, it was generally less pronounced, and faded on average within three to four days.ĬOVID toes were another rare, annoying but not life-threatening reaction. It’s been called COVID arm or Moderna arm, as about 95% of the reactions occur with the Moderna vaccine.įor Moderna arm, most people had no reoccurrence when they got their second shot. The most commonly reported reaction was a raised, sometimes itchy red rash, often at the site of the injection, which can occur up to a week or so after being vaccinated. Fewer than half – 43% – of patients who got a rash in response to their first dose of vaccine had a rash after their second. Having a skin response to the first dose of a vaccine doesn’t mean you will have one to the second dose. ![]() While skin reactions to the vaccines can occur, as long as they start more than four hours after vaccination, they are generally not life-threatening.Īnyone experiencing severe symptoms should consult a health care professional, Freeman said. ![]() In general, the researchers believe them to be rare given the low numbers seen among patients. Because the cases include only those reported to a dermatological registry, it’s impossible to say how common they across all people getting the vaccines. The findings appeared Wednesday in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. They are different from severe and immediate allergic reactions, which occur within the first four hours of getting vaccinated. The delayed skin responses described in the study often start a day or so after vaccination, but can appear as long as seven to eight days later. “For people whose rashes started four or more hours after getting the vaccine, zero percent of them went on to get anaphylaxis or any other serious reaction,” she said. Joe Biden has vowed vaccine eligibility for all adults by April 19: But what about appointment availability? “People can get full-body rashes, and that can be surprising and a little scary, but these patients did extremely well, recovered and were able to go back and get their second dose,” said Freeman, director of global health dermatology at Massachusetts General Hospital. None caused a life-threatening reaction, a finding the study's senior author Dr. The cases were collected between December and February, before the Johnson & Johnson vaccine had been authorized, so it was not included. The minor, though sometimes itchy and annoying, reactions were seen in a database of 414 cases of delayed skin problems linked to the vaccines and reported to health care professionals. A new study finds some of them, including COVID toes, a measleslike rash and shingles also can be rare, and thankfully brief, side effects of getting the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines. Getting COVID-19 can cause all manner of odd skin reactions. ![]() Watch Video: COVID-19: Soothe vaccine side effects like swelling ![]() ![]() ![]() Father John Mortonan acquaintance of More's. Hythloday spent some time with the Cardinal Archbishop of Canterbury, Rev. Hythloday mentions that he has extensively traveled through Europe, encountering "arrogant, absurd, and captious judgments once even in England." More is eager to hear Hythloday's impressions of England because the traveler spent several months there. More agrees with Giles, but Raphael is resolute in his belief that he could ultimately do little in a political position. He argues further that the other royal counselors would become jealous and would create unbearable complications. Raphael rejects the idea and celebrates the degree of freedom that he currently enjoysfreedom Raphael would forfeit should he enter politics. Because Raphael's comparative analysis of the regions is so precise and intelligent, Peter suggests that Raphael become an advisor or counselor for a king. When one continues further south, however, the climate becomes temperate again populous cities and commercial areas emerge. According to Raphael, the equatorial regions are excessively hot and there are monsters in the New World. When he visited various regions, Raphael befriended the native inhabitants and gained their sincere friendship and trust. Apparently, Hythloday's visit to Utopia occurred in between his voluntary separation from Vespucci and his arrival at Ceylon.Īfter this rather lengthy introduction, Hythloday and More exchange greetings and the three men continue their discussion in the garden attached to More's lodging place. Hythloday made his way home with these sailors. Hythloday and his companions enjoyed their continued travels and afterwards, they were reconnected with a fleet of Portuguese ships near the island of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka, due south of India).

![]() If you get it right, doing your own skim plastering can save you a lot of money.

PVA suitable for preparing surfaces for plastering How Thick Should Skim Plaster be?Ī finished coating of skim plaster should be around 3 – 5mm thick. Ideally it’s always best to plaster on to a bare plasterboard wall or base coat plaster, so taking the wall back to this would yield the best results over time, however this isn’t always practical so being able to seal a surface and make it good for plastering is sometimes needed. The only real situations where you would want to PVA a surface before it’s plastered would be if you are over skimming a previously plastered wall as this will help to prevent the old plaster sucking moisture form the new plaster before it dries correctly and if you are plastering over a previously painted surface. In short, no you do not need to apply PVA to a bare plasterboard surface before it is plastered, you can simply plaster straight onto it as long as it’s flat and smooth with no imperfections.

This is generally laid on the surface at a thickness of around 3 – 5mm to give a total thickness of base coat and skim coat plaster of around 18mm. ![]() This is laid on at a thickness of somewhere between 13 and 15mm.Īs basecoat plaster is quite rough and a nice flat and even finish is needed for the interior of a home a finishing coat or skim coat is applied on top that can then be smoothed and levelled to give an excellent finish for decorating. ![]() When plastering a bare brick or block wall, the first coat that is applied is know as the base coat plaster and this is laid on the wall using either bonding plaster or basecoat plaster. Skim plastering is essentially the process of laying on a thin layer of plaster over a rougher base coat plaster that is then flattened off to produce a beautifully smooth finish that can then be painted or wallpapered. It is not difficult to actually get it on the wall or ceiling, but getting it flat and smooth before it dries rock hard requires a great deal of hard work and practice.Īs with any job like this we would always suggest that you practice and hone your skills first so in this DIY guide we run through the process of how to skim plaster a wall or ceiling.
