![]() In my garden, a flat-topped, dwarf blue spruce is paired with a low, white-flowering thyme, T. I allow the thyme to spread around the base of the taller specimens if the thyme starts to creep up and into the shrubs, I just clip it back. In another part of my border, a creeping thyme flows around some dwarf iris and ‘Moonshine’ yarrow, creating a composition of wildly different foliage textures.ĭwarf conifers and woody shrubs underplanted with thyme are less often seen but quite lovely. The allium pokes up through the low, glossy mat of thyme and among the fuzzy betony leaves, where its whiplike foliage contrasts nicely. I like to grow the betony and drumstick allium underplanted with a creeping thyme. Perennials such as betony, bee balm, sage, allium, pincushion flower, artemisia, yarrow, and iris make interesting companions. Thymes blend well with other plants, too. It tolerates the shady conditions but is far less vigorous than other thymes grown in sunny locations. pseudolanuginosus, a woolly thyme with soft, fuzzy, gray foliage. ![]() Along north-facing, railroad-tie steps, I grow T.

Thymes are always at home in rock gardens, walls, and on rocky slopes. Under caraway thyme ( Thymus herba-barona ‘Minus’ and ‘Longwood’), I plant summer-flowering bulbs like alliums, lilies, and spider lilies, which grow happily without being smothered by the thymes. ![]() Because they are resilient, I walk on the mats to weed, deadhead, and complete other maintenance tasks. Their fuzzy, gray foliage makes an attractive carpet creeping over a dark-stained railroad tie.Ĭreeping thymes enliven the transition from pathways to perennial beds, where they spread into my wide borders.

I especially enjoy the prostrate varieties planted among paving stones in paths and terraces that spill into my perennial borders. They are separated into two groups: prostrate, which grow less than 3 inches high and resemble lush, sun-loving mosses and mounding, which form undulating, green or silver carpets that are more than 3 inches high. My favorites are the creeping thyme cultivars, which present a wealth of choices for unusual, aromatic ground covers. Most are hardy to Zone 5 (–20☏) with winter protection. More than 150 thymes are commercially available, with hardiness ranges from USDA Hardiness Zones 2 (–50☏) to 10 (30☏).

This is what’s known as the hybrid model, and even though people like the remote work aspect of it, for many it’s still unclear what the office part of it is for. The current situationįor now, many employees are just noticing the hassle of the office, even if they’re going in way less than they did pre-pandemic. There are, however, ways to make the return to the office better, but those will require some deep soul-searching about why employers want employees in the office and when they should let it go. That’s a liability for their employers, as the rates of job openings and quits are near record highs for professional and business services, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. As more and more knowledge workers return to the office, their experience at work - their ability to focus, their stress levels, their level of satisfaction at work - has deteriorated. ![]() Bosses and employees have different understandings of what the office is for, and after more than two years of working remotely, everyone has developed their own varied expectations about how best to spend their time. The reasons the return to the office isn’t working out are numerous. Those who said they prefer hybrid - 60 percent of office workers - are not always getting the interactions with colleagues they’d hoped for. People who couldn’t wait to go back are not finding the same situation they enjoyed before the pandemic, with empty offices and fewer amenities. Those who want to be remote are upset because they enjoyed working from home and don’t understand why, after two years of doing good work there, they have to return to the office. And it’s not just people who enjoy remote work who are upset about the return to the office. The majority of Americans don’t work from home, but among those who do, there’s a battle going on about where they’ll work in the future. “But I think it’s more the returning to work that they’re struggling on.” He, like a number of other office workers, spoke with Recode anonymously to avoid getting in trouble with his employer.Īndres enjoys working from home and thinks he does a good job of it - and it allows him to escape a long commute that has only gotten 45 minutes longer thanks to construction projects on his route. “People have adapted to remote work, and truthfully, the firm has done a tremendous job at adapting in the pandemic,” said Andres, who would prefer going in two days, as long as others were actually there. That’s partly because the rules don’t quite make sense, and people in all types of jobs are only coming in because they have to, not because there’s a good reason to go in. ![]() ![]() He says that while he and the other executive assistants at his Boston law firm have been forced back, the attorneys haven’t been following the rules.

The brush also has the ability to pressure adjust the size and opacity when using a tablet. Where On1 NoNoise has the edge over Topaz is its ability to duplicate layers within the program, which includes blending modes, and then mask the layers using its industry-leading “Perfect Brush.” This means you can add different amounts of noise reduction and sharpening to separate parts of the image. My first impressions were that the results were first class. Once loaded, the selected image has the automatic settings applied. Adjustments applied to one image can be synchronized with the others. On1 NoNoise screenshot showing the filmstrip of images from the folder dragged and dropped into the program. In this case, the electronics inside the camera will heat up and produce electronic radiation that corrupts the signal coming from the sensor. Noise can occur when you shoot long exposures too. That is because in the dark areas, there is little signal to increase, so you are amplifying just the noise. ![]() The base ISO is 100 on most cameras and 200 on Micro Four Thirds.Īdditionally, if you underexpose your image and then try to correct that in processing, you will typically see noise appearing, especially in the shadows. This is why we usually shoot images at our camera’s base ISO it delivers the least noise. Apart from getting in the way of a clean image, more noise means a reduction in the dynamic range of the image. This is known as the signal-to-noise ratio. We usually want as much signal from the sensor as possible and as little noise. So, instead of an audible hum, the noise presents as speckles on your image. This amplifies the digital signal from your sensor. The same thing happens with your pictures as you turn up the ISO. Turn up your hi-fi to its loudest volume with no music playing, and you should hear a similar humming. So, here's a simplified explanation.ĭo you remember the scene in Back to the Future where Marty McFly plugs his guitar into an enormous amplifier and turns the volume all the way up? As he does, the background hum gets louder. I am aware that some readers are new to photography and may not know what digital noise is and what causes it. The graininess seen in this heavily cropped image is the result of a high ISO and a long exposure. ![]() ![]() ![]() The posts can only be seen by the people that are tagged in them.

Having every installed copy of iThoughts constantly hitting the cloud servers asking for updates will not make me popular amongst my colleagues in the cloud! Why the 30 second and 10 minute delay - why not sync instantly and constantly? This means that maps can be modified when no network connection is available. Multiple copies of your maps will reside in iOS, the cloud and the desktop. When iThoughts (iOS) subsequently looks for any updates in the cloud, it will check the 'revision number' for both the iThoughts file and the Mindmanager file and download the most recently modified (ignoring the PDF version - which can't be imported.) You can then view the PDF version of the map or open the Mindmanager/iThoughts files using their respective apps on the desktop (Mac or Windows.) Changes made on the desktop are automatically uploaded to the cloud by the installed cloud sync software (Dropbox etc.) In that case, whenever a local (iOS) change is made, all 3 file formats are uploaded to the cloud. A typical configuration might be to enable iThoughts, Mindmanager and PDF file formats. When configuring a linked folder you also supply a list of file formats to keep in sync. The contents of each folder (and sub folder) are then kept 'in sync' by software built into iThoughts. This is known as a ' Linked Folder'. On iOS, the basic concept is that you associate a local folder with a corresponding folder in the cloud. This is disabled by default for obvious cost reasons. NB: You can enable automatic sync using mobile data in the System Settings. NB: You can override all the above by selecting 'Start Sync' from the 'Cloud' menu.
