![]() ![]() Now what is not revealed is in fact just transparent. I can draw more and you can see I can reveal even more of this so you can do all sorts of different things to reveal this layer using this layer below it with the clipping mask. You can see what is only visible where there is some sort of color as opposed to white in this layer here. I'm going to move this layer below just like I did the shape layer, select stars, and then say create clipping mask. So white versus yellow here or white versus black. I'm going to create a new layer and in this layer I'm going to draw. I'm going to use a pretty big brush there. Now I could select this layer and delete it and instead create another layer and let's use a brush tool here. So I can move this layer around and it will reveal a different part of the image. So I only see what is visible by where there is some sort of color in the shape layer. Sure enough when I do that, you can see this little arrow there that points down to the next layer, and you can see that the stars layer is masked using the shape layer. I'm going to select the stars layer and I'm going to say I want there to be a clipping mask for this layer. I'm going to just put that here underneath the stars layer. I'm going to create a rounded rectangle shape. Now I'm going to use a clipping mask here as my first example. I just double click on the Name in the Layers panel here and I can name it Stars and Beach. One is the beach and the other is the star field. So I've got the two images in one now and the way I know that is if I go to View and Show Layers, I'll get this list of layers and I can see that I've got two different layers here. Then I'm going to close this original one. So I'm going to go into this one and I'm going to select the entire thing and then I'm going to go into here and paste it. Let's use these two very contrasting images to demonstrate layers and masks. So let's open up a nice little picture of a beach here in Pixelmator and then in addition let's open up another image that is kind of a star field with a comet in it. On today's episode let's look at using layers and masks in Pixelmator.

TNET was diagnosed according to histopathological examination of tumor tissue. Patients with MEN1 were collected from patient files from the years 1985 to 2019 from three university hospitals in Finland. Here, we describe the clinical characteristics, family history and underlying mutations, diagnostic work-up, histopathological characteristics, treatments and outcome of MEN1 patients with TNETs. As published data is scarce, we searched for MEN1 patients characterized by TNETs within a large cohort of Finnish patients. There are no randomized clinical trials and no definitive guidelines on the screening, diagnosing and treatment of TNETs in patients with MEN1. There are recent large series of patients on the outcome of TNET, but these studies do not contain data on the natural course of TNET in MEN1 patients, in whom only small studies with a low number of patients are available. Due to only a few reported studies it is still uncertain whether this classification is prognostic for TNET. In the most recent 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of thymic tumors, TNETs are classified into low-grade typical carcinoids (TC), intermediate-grade atypical carcinoids (ACs), and two high-grade malignancies, large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNEC) and small cell carcinomas (SCC), similarly to the classification of broncho-pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms (bpNEN). TNETs are often aggressive and are an important cause of morbidity and mortality among MEN1 patients. These tumors can be sporadic, but nearly 25% of TNETs are associated with MEN1. TNETs are very rare neoplasms accounting for only 0.4% of all neuroendocrine tumors and 5% of all anterior mediastinal neoplasms, and their age-adjusted incidence rate in the USA is 0.18 per one million persons. In addition, also other tumors such as thymic neuroendocrine tumors (TNET) associate with MEN1. The classical manifestations of the syndrome are primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), pituitary adenomas, and pancreatic (PNET) and duodenal (DNET) neuroendocrine tumors. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an inherited autosomal dominant tumor-predisposing syndrome caused by inactivating mutations of the MEN1 gene, which is located on chromosome 11q13 and encodes the 610 amino acid protein menin. We also show that LCNEC can be associated with TNET in MEN1 patients. The prognosis can be better by systematic screening. TNET in MEN1 patients is an aggressive disease. In this study, TNETs were observed in one large MEN1 founder pedigree, where an anticipation-like earlier disease onset was observed in the most recent generation. In our patients, the 5-year survival of the TNET patients was 62.5% and 10-year survival 31.3%. One patient had a largely necrotic main tumor with very few mitoses and another nodule with 25 mitoses per 2 mm 2, qualifying for the 2021 WHO diagnosis of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). TNET was classified as atypical carcinoid (AC) in five out of six patients. The mean age at presentation of TNET was 44.7 ± 11.9 years. They originated from common ancestors encompassing two pairs of brothers from sequential generations. Five of them had the same common gene mutation occurring in Finland. There were six patients (3.3%) with MEN1 and TNET. We collected data on treatments and outcomes of these patients. Thymus tumor specimens were classified according to the new WHO 2021 classification of TNET. We evaluated patient records of 183 MEN1-patients from three university hospitals between the years 1985–2019 with TNETs. We evaluated patients with MEN1 and TNET in three university hospitals in Finland. Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus (TNETs) are very rare but often have an aggressive nature. MEN1 is associated with an increased risk of developing tumors in different endocrine organs. ![]() ![]() The park absorbs a large chunk of the southeast, and features a wide variety of native wildlife and plants, including land crabs, Fairy terns and red necked francolins. Green Mountain National Park was opened in 2005, making it the island's first national park. This would enable exploration into new reserves of oil, gas and minerals, though none are thought to exist.Įdit Sights and Activities Green Mountain National Park In 2008 British diplomats requested sovereignty, at the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (UN CLCS), over 200,000 square kilometres of submarine territory around the island. In 1982, Ascension Island was used as a staging post for the British Task Force during the Falklands War. The island was managed by the head of the Eastern Telegraph Company on the island until 1964 when the British Government appointed an Administrator to represent the Governor of Saint Helena on Ascension. In 1922, Ascension was made a dependency of Saint Helena. A garrison of Royal Marines was based at Ascension from 1923. The Royal Navy used the island as a victualling station for ships, particularly those of the West Africa Squadron working against the slave trade. ![]() The location of the island made it a useful stopping point for ships and communications. It is possible that the island was sometimes used as an open prison for criminal mariners, although there is only one documented case of such an exile, a Dutch ship's officer, Leendert Hasenbosch, who was set ashore at Clarence Bay as a punishment for sodomy in May 1725.Īscension Island was first inhabited in 1815, when the British garrisoned it as a precaution after imprisoning Napoleon I on Saint Helena to the southeast. When in 1503 Afonso de Albuquerque, a Portuguese navigator sighted the island on Ascension Day in the church calendar, he named it for that day.

You’ll find that although architect lamps are simple in design, you have a wide range of options in how they look.One with a light switch that’s easy to access will keep you from having to fumble around for it after putting in hours of work. Consider where the power switch is on the lamp you choose.Some let you choose between three or four different light settings. If you prefer different levels for different tasks, look for one with a dimmable feature. Some architect lamps let you adjust the amount of light they put out.Look for the number of lumens the lamp emits to see how much lighting you’ll get. Your lamp should have the flexibility to be movable while also holding its position once you’ve put it in place. As useful as it may be to be able to adjust your lamp, if it continues to move around after you’ve positioned it, it will become a huge distraction.Measure from the power outlet to the desk or table to find a lamp with a cord length that will easily reach. In most cases, you’ll merely need to attach the head and clamp, then insert a lightbulb. You can easily find an architect lamp with simple assembly.Most clamps are built to be safe for use on tables and desks, but if your workspace is made from sensitive or light-colored wood, check to ensure the clamp won’t damage it before buying.Look for one with a wide range on the head, as well as adjustability in the arm. Although all architect lamps are more flexible than standard lamps, some feature more swivel than others.Look for a lamp that builds in technology that protects your eyes while you work. Some lamps create a flicker that can fatigue your eyes after a while.Check how easy it will be to make that change, as well as how easy it will be to shop for replacements as you need them. Some architect lamps make it difficult to change the lightbulb.Look for the number of burn hours a lightbulb promises, as well as its eco-friendliness. This is closely linked to the type of lightbulbs they use, and LED tends to be the most popular. In recent years, architect lamps have joined other light sources in prioritizing energy efficiency.Removing and reattaching it to various areas throughout the day or week means you probably not only need an easy-to-maneuver clamp but a portable lamp that will be easy to move. ![]() If you plan to set it up and leave it in the same place, the functionality of the clamp may not be as important since you’ll only be attaching it once. If you’re shopping for an architect lamp, it’s important to consider how you’ll be using it. If you have a sewing room or craft table, for instance, you may like the fact that you can move the light around as necessary. You can clamp an architect lamp onto any type of surface with an edge, then direct the light where you need it to go. The adjustable nature of architect lamps makes them popular for a wide range of household uses. This clamp is typically the same color as the rest of the lamp to make sure it better blends with the surrounding décor. This keeps your workspace clear for you to spread your work out, while also giving you the freedom to place it where you want it. Today’s architect lamps often attach to your desk or table using a clamp rather than having a base they set on. Instead, they may be a simple, solid color. You usually won’t find them as decorative as other lamp types. ![]() While they all feature that long arm, they tend to be built more for function than looks. The overall look of an architect lamp also sets it apart from others. For that reason, you’ll find the materials are more durable than you might typically find with a lamp. While all lamps are built to burn for hours, architect lamps were traditionally built with the understanding that they need to be able to comfortably burn for hours at a time. With some architect lamps, the shade is wider, while others keep it more in a circular design.Īnother important feature of architect lamps is their burning time. They have a lampshade that helps control the direction of the light, and the shade can vary in size. It has both a head and arm that swivels, letting you control not only the height but also the direction of the light. The most notable feature of an architect lamp is its adjustability. Today, architect lamps can be found on desks and other workspaces, providing easy-to-control lighting for a variety of functions. Technology moved that work to computer software, but the usefulness of architect lamps ensured they remained relevant. At one time, architects spent hours at a drafting table, drawing up blueprints on projects. ![]() ![]() In "Name= Eclipse Luna " you can change the name whatever you want.(optional).

Search for ways to lower your utility bills.This often includes cutting back on large fixed costs, but it can also entail streamlining variable costs. One way to increase your business’s profitability is to find ways to reduce operational costs. You can set different bonus structures for employees depending on your business’s needs, which will affect your fixed and variable expenses. Thus, the employee’s total pay is a mixed expense. The base salary for this employee is fixed, but the commission they earn on each sale is variable, as the commission amount depends on the number of sales made. Together, they make a mixed expense.Īnother example would be if you have a salesperson working on commission. You’ll pay the fixed $100 no matter what, but the extra $20 is variable. Let’s say you’re paying $100 for web hosting each month, but one month you exceed your bandwidth limit and are hit with an extra $20 fee. Here are some common examples of fixed expenses:Ī third category of expenses is a mixture of fixed and variable. Whether you sell one phone case or a million, these costs remain the same. However, these costs are fixed in the sense that they don’t change based on your production volume. Rents go up, salaries increase and insurance premiums tend to rise. Indeed, your fixed costs may even increase over time. These are the expenses you can’t reduce regardless of how much business you’re doing. Here are some more examples of variable expenses:įixed costs are what most people refer to as overhead costs. Shaving the costs that go into selling each product makes a huge difference in your bottom line. It’s critical to understand your total variable expenses from the start to see where you can potentially save money. While the packaging cost per case remains the same, the total cost of packaging rises when production is higher. Below is a chart explaining how those variable expenses would work. In other words, your sales volume directly impacts your variable expenses.įor example, let’s say you sell phone cases. Variable expensesĪ variable expense is a cost that changes depending on your production level. As prices for equipment and supplies rise, you’ll want to protect your business against inflation. Variable costs are typically part of the cost of goods sold (COGS), although fixed costs can be included in COGS as well. Variable expenses are often volume-related, such as the amount of time your hourly employees work each week. Fixed expenses are often time-related, such as your monthly office lease payment.Variable expenses, however, may increase or decrease based on your output because you’ll need to buy more raw goods and spend more on hourly labor in order to produce more output. For example, you have to make the same office lease payment every month regardless of how much work you do in that office. Fixed expenses are not impacted by production output.Fixed expenses remain static over a set period of time variable expenses fluctuate depending on external factors.Here are some key differences between fixed costs and variable costs. As a business owner, you will have both types of expenses, so it’s important to distinguish between the two and create a budget accordingly. These terms exist to differentiate between the types of costs businesses are expected to pay. Both types of expenses can be direct or indirect costs. ![]() A variable expense, on the other hand, may change due to a variety of factors, which means you can’t always predict exactly what it will cost. A fixed expense means one that doesn’t change - it’s a set amount you pay on a recurring basis. variable expensesįixed and variable expenses are part of your general ledger, which is how businesses keep track of their finances. Below, get examples of each type and find out how your business can save on both.Įditor’s note: Need accounting software for your business?
