Sorry, too late !
It was on July 31, 1957 that Colin Chapman decided to start manufacturing the little Mark VII which quickly became known under the magical name of Seven. But by the early days of 1958, only 8 chassis had left the tiny workshop at 7 Tottenham Lane in London. There were on this first series two possible options of engine / transmission adapted to the very light tubular chassis of the brilliant Chapman which embodied there, a 7th variation of its motto “light is right”. Either the very expensive 1098cc Climax FWA engine associated with a 4 gearbox from Austin A30 or a side valve Ford of 1172 cc from Ford 100E, associated with the 3 speed gearbox of the same car. And it is the latter option that was most often chosen by kit car enthusiasts.
Chassis 0422 shown here is the 23rd of the 1 series. It was sold as a kit like most others with a Ford engine and gearbox to Jeff Miller on February 20, 1958. Other owners identified by the Lotus 7 Club were successively RA Downham (1984) then KRDear (1990). In 1993 David Ham salvaged the derelict and dilapidated car and began its restoration by rebuilding a new chassis from the old one and with the help of Lotus engineer Ken Rogers. Most of the body parts, delivered according to the factory documents as “all aluminum body unpaint” are original.
A very important feature of this chassis is its Burman screw and roller type steering box, of which it seems that the chassis 0422 is the only one to still have, all the others having been quickly converted into racks, an option then adopted by Lotus cars for the following models.
The 0422 chassis has undergone a long and meticulous restoration at Automobilia. All components of the chassis, drivetrain and rear axle (original Nash Metropolitan in 4.89: 1) were carefully overhauled or restored, while the aluminum body was redone. The car was fitted with a new Climax 1500 FWB engine with Weber carburetor and an A40 type 4 gearbox, in an optional configuration originally. The old 100E engine is also preserved. Disc brakes were fitted at the front, while the original drums were left at the rear.
A restoration file of more than 300 photos accompanies the car, as well as various documents and certificates from Lotus Cars and the British Lotus Seven Club. The car was presented on the Club stand at the Lotus Festival in Donington in 1997. French registration card.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The countdown is underway.
But not for Thanksgiving.
In the past seven days, there have been twice as many searches on Yahoo for “Black Friday” than there have been for “Thanksgiving.” “Best Black Friday deals” searches in the past week also have gone up significantly, according to Yahoo.
Welcome to the countdown for Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that signals the traditional start of retailers’ biggest selling period. The day gets its name from the notion that it traditionally marks the point each year when retailers start to be profitable, or move into the black. This year, Black Friday is increasingly looking like Black Thursday, with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, +1.10% Toys “R” Us Inc., Sears Holdings Corp. SHLD, +3.55% and Target Corp. TGT, +0.03% among chains starting their “doorbuster” promotions earlier than ever on Thanksgiving night. Big holiday bargains debut earlier.
The earlier push began even before Thanksgiving. Retailers from Best Buy Co. BBY, +1.67% to Amazon AMZN, +2.27% this week have launched online deals of the day as part of the count down to Black Friday weekend. Disney Store, for instance, for the first time put some of its Black Friday specials online on Monday, compared with midnight on Thursday last year. Best Buy’s turnaround plan.
“We have gone all out to make this the biggest Black Friday,” said Toys “R” Us Chief Executive Jerry Storch in an interview. “We saw business started to pick up this weekend. There’s tremendous momentum as we approach Black Friday. We’ll be very aggressive.” Retailers signal competitive holiday.
For Black Friday, in addition to “significantly” adding its doorbuster deals to more than 200, the retailer is giving the first 200 shoppers in line goody bags worth $30.
“This is the Super Bowl for the holiday,” said Wal-Mart’s finance chief Charles Holley recently. “Black Friday has gone to black Thursday night. It gets more promotional every year.”
The biggest sales day
Getting the kickoff to the holiday season right on Black Friday is critical for retailers hoping to be top-of-mind for shoppers this holiday season. J.C. Penney Co. JCP, +7.01% under a major change that did away with coupons and sales, said it would have its only sale of the year on Black Friday to “honor the American tradition.” Time to warm up to J.C. Penney?
Friday is expected to be the biggest sales and traffic day this holiday season, after sales last Black Friday rose 6.6% to a record $11.4 billion, according to mall tracker ShopperTrak.
“Foot traffic will be up on Black Friday,” said Bill Martin of ShopperTrak, adding he expects holiday traffic will rise 2.8%, its first increase in five years. “While consumers are still very cautious about holiday spending, they are willing to visit a few more stores than they have. It’s creating an environment for impulse shopping. You can see retailers really trying to promote to this new consumer who seems to be more willing to shop.”
According to a survey of retail chief marketing officers by BDO USA, retailers project a 3.1% increase in sales on Black Friday, suggesting they are more optimistic than last year, when they projected a 1.6% gain for the day.

Most things about war have changed since the battle with the Nazis at Normandy. But that day endures. It is emblematic.
In the lead of this NRO piece, the word ‘refreshing’ leapt out as startling.
During a week in which many of the comrades of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl have expressed outrage at what they say was his betrayal of his country in Afghanistan, it’s refreshing to return to the beaches of Normandy for a celebration of the authentic heroes who stormed ashore here 70 years ago this week.
Northern France was under the boot of Nazi occupation, and was defended by an intimidating array of fortifications and gun emplacements all along its coast. But on June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of beaches whose names have gone down in history — Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword — in what General Dwight D. Eisenhower called a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and at the cost of 9,000 killed or wounded soldiers, the Allies gained a toehold in Europe that became the staging area for the ultimate defeat of Nazi Germany.
The passage of years has taken its toll on the veterans. Take Pointe du Hoc, a series of 100-foot cliffs that were scaled by U.S. Army Rangers at great peril on June 6. “In 1984, when President Reagan gave his famous speech at Pointe du Hoc, there were 15 busloads of 82nd Airborne troops who had parachuted into France there,” recalls Keith Nightingale, a retired colonel with the 82nd Airborne who has visited Normandy 30 times since his first visit in 1977. “This year, the unit will only be represented by two men.”
But while the ranks of the original veterans are thinning, their places at the lavish commemorations that are held here every five years are being taken by younger generations. Schoolchildren in Normandy are required to learn about “the Liberation,” and many know more about the battle’s disposition of various units than some of the returning veterans. More than 200,000 people are crowding into the Normandy region this week, and more than 12,000 of them — including world leaders from many countries — will attend the main memorial services.
Commentator John Fund pays tribute to why this is still able to happen.
I am visiting Normandy along with members of the Reagan Legacy Foundation, which was founded by Michael Reagan, the president’s oldest son. At a welcoming dinner last night at the château of Alexis de Tocqueville, Reagan noted that his foundation was unveiling a film on the significance of D-Day at the Airborne Museum in Sainte-Mère Église this week. He reminded his listeners that his father died exactly ten years ago, on June 5, 2004. “We are here to honor the veterans but also to honor a president who spoke so eloquently about their sacrifice,” he told me. Indeed, after the dinner a French businessman came up to me clutching a brochure bearing Reagan’s words from his 1984 speech at Pointe du Hoc: “The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or on the next.” The man was visibly moved by the dinner we had just attended, but also moved by Reagan’s long-ago words. “He explained the meaning of it all the best, and we remember both D-Day and him,”…

Final Fantasy 15! It's either one of the best Final Fantasy games since the series' heyday, or a travesty that doesn't deserve to bear the Final Fantasy name. Well, it's so divisive that it must be a Final Fantasy game, given how fans have never really found a consensus on what the best game in the series could possibly be.
Still, one thing we can surely all agree on is the fact that Prompto's photographs that prop up the end of each day in Final Fantasy 15 are the best thing about the game. Heck, they may even be my favourite thing in any game in 2016, so perfectly distilling the knockabout theme of friendship that's at Final Fantasy 15's core. Well, now they're being improved, with a new update that's going live on December 22nd adding photo frames for you when sharing images online. I'd say that's worth picking a season pass up for, but this update's entirely free.
Also free is a New Game Plus mode and new items that come as part of a free holiday pack that include a band your party can equip that stops them from accruing XP. If that's your kind of thing.
There's a premium Holiday Pack, too, that adds in other items as well as some exclusive photo frames for Prompto. Ah, that's what the season pass is for then.
There's no word just yet on when those story patches are coming, mind, or the alterations to the famously trying Chapter 13. I've yet to get there in my own playthrough, which probably explains why I'm still enjoying Final Fantasy 15 an awful lot, even if it has its fair share of problems.

Excerpt: I bought the Cosatto Hula to take my six month old to Rome for a long weekend recently, as I had heard to take something not too expensive in case it got ruined on the flight. I was very glad that we had bought it as it was lightweight and was easy to manage along with all the other cases that we had. My son sat in it in the airport and was quite happy to rest his head on the side and go to sleep straight away.
" Bought this to take on holiday as it comes with…"
13 March 2008
Excerpt: Bought this to take on holiday as it comes with an insect net/ SPF40 sunshade. It is a lightweight fairly basic buggy. Lie-back is achieved by a strap on the back so you don't get a full lie-back, but on the plus side the brakes are better than our Maclaren. One really annoying thing is that the hood falls off every time the buggy is folded/ unfolded and we managed to clip DD on the forehead with it. The sunshade works brilliantly and kept DD really cool in the NZ sun.

Jan Zakin drew in a deep breath and paused before telling her story. The fear, shock and grief were still raw. But the telling was cathartic, making her feel like it was in the past rather than the now.
“It was so frightening,” she said. “It was horrible.”
The Zakin family of four — Jan, her husband and their two dogs — were in their St. Helena home at the top of Crystal Springs Road when the fire that would become the devastating Glass Fire started on Sunday. Their home and vineyards are just down the hill from the location officials said Wednesday was the likely origin of the wildfire.
Her husband, Jon, got up on Sunday at 4 a.m. to get a glass of water, the pain from his recently fractured hip waking him. He checked his phone and saw the evacuation order, Zakin said.
He called for his wife and they looked out the window. The fire was in its infancy — officials say it began at 3:45 a.m.
“There was a wall of flames,” she said. “It was unbelievable.”
Zakin and her husband grabbed their emergency bag and their two dogs, Winston and Zsa Zsa, and headed down their mile-long driveway in choking smoke, the world pitch black around them.
For a moment, Zakin, 60, fell silent.
“I’m getting choked up,” she said before continuing on a phone call to The Chronicle from Carmel.
As they headed to safety, flames shot up on both sides of the car, but she believed if they just made it to the flat part of the road, they would all make it. Her husband told her they would be all right. She didn’t believe him.
“Every time we turned a corner, it was worse,” she said.

And then at the base of the hill, the flat part, they stopped. They were trapped. A car had hit a tree and was “burning like an inferno.” And a truck, its cab door open and the driver missing, was blocking the road.
Zakin opened the car door, thinking she might be able to move the truck. That’s when Winston and Zsa Zsa bolted out the door.
They disappeared into the smoky darkness. Zakin called for them, but they didn’t come back.
The stranded couple was rescued by firefighters — who instructed them to descend an embankment by foot and then climb up to them. Zakin’s husband, his hip unable to bear the weight, crawled.
Firefighters — “who have to come from God because who would do this work?” — pushed them through a hole in the fence and into a fire truck, then an ambulance, which dropped them off in town, she said.
They checked into a hotel there.
Later that day, they found Winston, an 8-month-old Brittany Spaniel, who had been picked up by animal control officers. He was unscathed. Not an eyelash burned, not a hair out of place.
It took longer to find Zsa Zsa. Zakin had left her phone in her car and once the car was recovered, she saw the call from a St. Helena veterinarian saying they had her beloved 11-year-old dog, silver-faced Hungarian Vizsla.
Zsa Zsa’s foot pads had been burned to the bone. The vet was doing everything he could to save her, Zakin said.
It was a waiting game at the hotel, with a few trips to see Zsa Zsa, while her husband remained behind. During one of those check-ins at the vet, Jon called.
“Come back,” he told his wife. Flames were heading toward the hotel. The couple fled again, heading to a friend’s house in the north part of town, only to see more flames.
They headed to Napa, where calls to the vet went unanswered. Zakin drove back Monday morning. The vet was waiting.
Zsa Zsa had died.
“The loss and the grief, I can’t tell you,” she said.
On Wednesday, Zakin reflected on the past three days, an experience filled with terror and death, as well as gratitude for the firefighters, emergency workers and a veterinarian who tried to save a dog and refused to take any money for the effort.
The couple’s house still stands, Zakin said, a home she would trade “in a heartbeat” to have her dog back.
“It’s such a loss and to have her die like that,” she said. “I just know she must have been terrified.”
The fear has started to fade some, replaced by relief that they didn’t die that night and thankfulness for family, friends and strangers.
“People have been so lovely and kind,” she said. “These things bring out the good in people.”

text: ARAF is an essayistic road movie and diary of a ghostly character, Nayia, who travels between Srebrenica and Sarajevo to Mostar in Bosnia. She has been in exile since the war and returns for the 22nd memorial of the Srebrenica genocide. The film is guided by her diary notes of the journey which merge with the myth of Daedalus and Icarus – Icarus being the name given to the winner of a bridge diving competition in her home country. The story of Icarus and Daedalus, a myth symbolic of man’s over-ambition and inevitable failure, is weaved throughout the film as a way to think about exorcizing the vicious cycle of such events happening in the future and of a possible reconciliation. Nayia also thinks of Icarus from a different perspective, that of seeing the optimism of such a leap, his braveness of taking a leap into the unknown in this era of radical instability, that perhaps, Icarus wanted to write a different narrative. ARAF thus traces these paradoxes through Nayia’s displacement and her return to her home country post-war – that of a constant terror and a permanent standstill, and the friction between displacement and permanence.

If you follow this series of pixel art tutorials, you may already have in your possession a very nice car for your pixel art character in its pixel art world. Let's add another vehicle to your collection by making a helicopter—or if you're looking for a quicker way to add elements to your isometric city, you can purchase many isometric elements from Envato Market.
1. Define the Height and Width
Let's base the height of the helicopter on the pixel art character, as usual.
The helicopter should be about twice the height of the character. The proportions don't need to be strictly realistic; in the end it's usually better to have smaller than accurate vehicles and buildings, so that characters remain visible and important on larger, more complex illustrations.
If you already have a pixel art car then congratulations! We can use it to define the helicopter's length. Let's make a square with the previously defined height and the length of the car.
If you don't have the car, then go make it! Or just imagine a length that is about 1.5 times the length of the character lying down.
Now we take that square and copy it side by side to have three squares in a line. That'll be the length of our helicopter.
Clean up the breaks in the middle and we'll sort of carve the helicopter out of this rectangle.
2. Design the Helicopter
The way we'll put together our helicopter will be by making a sort of blueprint of it; a flat drawing of one its sides.
If you think of a helicopter, its shape is not very complex from the top or from the front. We'll be making the drawing of the side view because that's where the bulk of the complexities are. It's pretty easy to find helicopter designs with the top, front and side views on image searches, so feel free to do that, or just follow this design along.
Going from the top down, let's add a parallel line, as close as possible to the top (1 px between both lines). This will define the helicopter's blades.
Under the blades you'll need to add a few vertical lines for the rotors. Place them at about 1/3 of the length and as tall as, say, the head of the character, or however you might like it best.
Underneath that I added a couple more parallel lines. They're setting the size of the engine: one line for the top of it and the other for the bottom, which is at the same time the roof of the helicopter's cabin.
We'll give the helicopter a tail attached to the last line we added and reaching the top line. The lines going up are 2:1 (meaning 2 pixels going up for ever 1 pixel going across) and 3:1. That way we get a wedge kind of shape and join them at the top with a 1:1 line to give it a cool fin shape.
And give the engine a point at the back where it ends.
Some of these lines we won't need anymore, so let's clean up.
I added a point on the blade where it will eventually widen and have a different material. And then I copied the blade, flipped it and positioned it on the opposite side, extending past the bounding rectangle.
Now let's "carve" a step into the engine, to give it more complexity and because that comes closer to the reference helicopter I used.
We'll need to define more lines from the bottom up. The very first ones will be for the landing skids, then a bit higher above those we'll have the bottom of the helicopter's cabin, and higher yet above that a line that should more or less define where windows and windshield will start going from the bottom to the top.
From just above that last top line we added, a new diagonal will go up until it reaches the top engine line. This diagonal is 2:1 and it will be the helicopter's windshield.
Clean up, s'il vous plait. We won't be needing the last horizontal line and anything beyond the windshield.
The engine should start a bit farther behind, so move its diagonal back to almost the midpoint between the windshield and the top step of the engine.
And give the top of the windshield a softer corner.
Let's now continue work on the helicopter's tail.
There's a boom between the tail and the cabin, and it shouldn't be too thin.
And there should be a bottom fin.
Add a 1:1 line from the same point as the top fin starts coming out of the bottom of the boom and pointing down and back.
And finish the fin. It doesn't need to exactly mirror the top fin, but it should have a slight wedge shape as well.
Here it's a bit wider and less tall.
You can now clean up the lines below the boom.
A small detail: let's add a line just above the boom, connecting the engine to the tail.
And to close off the cabin, let's add a diagonal from the boom to the bottom. This one is very steep and a little bit jagged, which is usually best avoided, but at least if we keep the line regular at 4:1 then it won't be too jagged.
Finish the cabin by rounding out the corners and cleaning up the lines around it.
On to the landing gear. The skids are shorter than the cabin and curve up on the front end.
Connect the skid to the cabin with two pairs of vertical lines…
… and the profile view of our helicopter is pretty much done.
3. Give the Helicopter Depth/Volume
Of course, the helicopter won't be paper thin, so let's start making it wider.
Fill the whole helicopter drawing with any random color.
One easy way to do this is to make a selection that encompasses the drawing completely, and then with the Paint Bucket Tool and with its contiguous setting unchecked, click on any blank area.
And then to remove all the unwanted color, use the Magic Wand Tool with its Contiguous setting checked. Then simply select and delete the two areas that have the unwanted color (the whole area surrounding the helicopter and the rectangle in the middle of the landing gear).
It's possible to add to a selection with the Magic Wand Tool and any other selection tool by holding down Shift while using the tool. So in this case you could have held down Shift, clicked on the two areas, and then only have to press Delete once… not that that would save you more than one second, but it can become useful at other times.
It's also possible to subtract from a selection by pressing Alt, as well as intersect with a selection by pressing both Alt and Shift.
Make a copy of the previous state of the helicopter's drawing, and we'll reuse it next.
Remove the landing gear on the original version. This will be the middle layer in the chopper sandwich we're about to make.
Take the copy of the original drawing and, optionally, give it another color. And remove the engine and the whole top.
We'll also get rid of the boom—I'll make the cut where I drew this vertical line, just inside of the landing gear.
Remove the back section and round out the corners.
This will make the right and left layers of the "sandwich".
Make the sandwich!
Space the layers evenly…
… the whole thing should be about as wide as a car…
I like the helicopter to look a bit chubby, so I made it just a bit wider than the car. But really a car width is accurate enough for many helicopter models.
Let's spread the skids a little bit. Simply Select the front one and move it 2 px across and 1 px vertically.
Repeat the process with the rear skid, in the opposite direction.
… and why not get the landing gear looking right already.
If you want you can merge the whole "sandwich" into one layer. Those were simply guidelines, and now we can get to work on the helicopter's real/final lines.
Let's start with the engine; it might be the most complex shape we have to cover.
In a New Layer, draw one line marking the axis of the engine and two more lines that will be its edges. Draw this right on the roof to get the width correct; it should be almost as wide as the cabin but not as wide.
Now move the lines to the top of the engine and give them the right length.
We'll give this surface a sort of teardrop shape. We can start it by trimming the corners with straight horizontal and vertical lines.
Round off the corners slightly, except for the one in the rear, and remove the middle line.
Now Select this new shape, and Alt-nudge it down some 4 pixels, or whatever is enough to meet the little step in the engine part of the guideline.
Clean up (remove the back lines) and you should have the same shape but now with a bit of thickness.
Take the front half of the teardrop surface and apply it on the remaining front corners that the guidelines for the engine marked.
You now pretty much have two slightly different shapes.
You can clean up the unnecessary lines (these two shapes form one surface, in the part at the back where they meet) and correct the line going up from the bottom curve to the top one, on the newer shape.
This line should maintain the same 2:1 slope that we drew on the guidelines.
Now we'll add some roof lines. A lot of this is retracing the same lines as in the guidelines but, of course, that's no problem if you remember the Shift trick with the Pencil Tool.
Another row of lines gets added here. To give the helicopter a bit more width than the guideline sandwich suggested, we want to be able to round out the corners of the cabin as well, and the guidelines didn't account for that.
Don't know the Shift trick with the Pencil Tool? Simply click on one point with the Pencil Tool, hold down Shift, click on another point and a straight line will connect the dots.
Continuing work on the roof, go ahead and finish the roof, and connect the lines as you see fit.
Some more connecting right over here.
Notice the wedge shape where the two lower cabin corner lines connect very near the back of the engine.
Covering more of the cabin, some lines are drawn right over the guideline sandwich. But going across, the lines skip between sandwich layers, forming a straight line.
And finally we give the cabin a back side. We're not keeping the jagged diagonal from the guidelines, so we can be slightly creative with this area, as you've got curving shapes connecting with other curving shapes. So basically, you can be a bit less accurate as long as you're doing something you think looks good.
Redraw the whole tail boom; no changes to that.
Don't want to redraw? You can also go to the guidelines layer, select the outlines with the Magic Wand Tool, and then with the Polygonal Lasso Tool (Anti-alias checked off and Feather at 0 px) intersect only the boom (with the Alt-Shift trick mentioned before)… copy that, and paste in place (Edit > Paste Special > Paste in Place) and merge with the outlines layer.
That probably sounds more complicated than redrawing, but when all these tips become second nature, and you give all your frequent actions keyboard shortcuts, their usage takes very little time.
Now you can start redrawing the rotor. We can add a bit of extra volume at the base.
Let's make the blades on a New Layer.
We can add a bit of a cap thing where the two blades meet.
The blades should become a bit wider after the point we drew on the guideline.
Once you've drawn one blade the way you like it, you can copy it and rotate it 180˚ (Edit > Transform > Rotate 180˚) and place it on the other side.
To break our helicopter a bit more out of the same plane, we can have the blades in a flipped position (Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal).
We didn't include stabilizers on the guidelines, but they're very easy to add. Just add a rectangle quite close to the tail boom...
… and another on the opposite side of the tail boom.
And another thing we didn't draw on the guidelines; helicopters need tail rotors to control their direction.
Start with a thin rod pointing perpendicularly out of the tail.
And give it a nice, small pair of blades.
And finally, we've got the shapes down!
4. Add Details & Color
Now on to the details and color. Let's start by adding some windows.
The lower of the roof lines can make the top of our windows. We just need to add a bottom line.
We already have a line right in the middle of the cabin, thanks to the guideline sandwich. So just put a pair of lines on both sides of that line and you've got the split on the middle of the windshield.
And then add the remaining breaks for the rest of the windows.
And the guideline sandwich's job here is done.
Delete it… or make the layer invisible if you are of a sentimental disposition. In fact, you might want to keep in-progress elements or failed attempts somewhere, because eventually a bunch of things can become useful again.
You can now fill the helicopter with the color of your choice.
And now we start adding the proper lighting—at first with some areas that we can expect to shine a bit more brightly.
And then covering more areas, like peak corners. We'll also add another, brighter shade for areas we want to pop out a bit more.
We'll get to the window colors in a minute.
Now add darker shades on one of the sides, on the areas that curve and point down and away from the usual, top, light source.
And then add yet another, darker shade for some select areas.
Now that the basic shading is done, get to softening the valley corners to help convey the way the elements connect/merge.
Now choose some window color you might like. I made mine quite dark; I liked the look.
Apply the glass effect of your choice. Typically, I like to show these lighter lines parallel to the glass borders as, in my opinion, they can be read either as a reflection of the outside of the window frames or as a peek into the inside of the window frames, which is fine either way.
Now one extra bit of glass effect: we'll make the glass just slightly see-through by showing some light through the windows on the unseen side of the helicopter.
Start by getting the shape of the windows right.
And then place them where they should go—on the opposite wall of the helicopter's cabin—and give them one of the lighter window colors.
Here I also made the line parallel to the front of the windshield thicker. I think it makes it look as if we get a peek of the cockpit's controls.
Helicopters usually have more than one color, applied as stripes or many other shapes, but I'll simply make mine have very light grey at the bottom.
This is the area that will have the new color. It's done in a New Layer.
Then I just lower the Layer Opacity and Merge the layer down to where the red coloring is.
And then recolor all sections with a shade I like.
If you like you can also apply the new coloring to the landing gear. Either way, the landing gear should get a bit of shading as well.
Give a dark grey to the rotors.
… and to the area in between the blades.
And give the blades their final shades. I chose a lighter grey and gave the tips of the blades a bit of yellow.
5. Land or Fly the Helicopter
Let's finish by giving our helicopter two states; it can either be on the ground (in which case it should project a shadow directly underneath it) or it can be in the air, in which case we should show the blades in motion.
Starting with the grounded state.
In a New Layer we'll draw black flat shapes for each major sections of the helicopter.
Here's the cabin's.
Here's the tail's.
And here's the shadow of the top blades.
Then you put them together. They should be centered on the axis of the helicopter.
And to apply the shadow, move this layer down below the helicopter and lower its opacity. This is 15% opacity.
And that is the grounded helicopter, ready to be placed on any flat surface.
For the flying state of the helicopter, make circles to replace the blades in a New Layer for each rotor.
They should match the blades in width. The top blades' circle will have to be twice as wide as it is tall to be in keeping with the isometric view, while the tail rotor should be a circle skewed at 26.5˚… or a bit like this:
This is applied with black color but giving the layer a lower opacity.
Let's keep only a 1 px outline of these circles. That's easily done by selecting each circle with the Magic Wand Tool, then contracting the selection by 1 px (Select > Modify > Contract) and deleting the resulting selection.
Then add a couple of yellow circles, standing for the yellow tips of the blades.
And fill the inside with more black, with lower opacity than the black outlines.
For the last bit of motion effect, you can lower the opacity of the spinning blades in a couple of wedge shapes.
You can do this by drawing these mirrored, 1/4, wedge shapes on a New Layer, all in 50% opacity because we won't remove the whole wedges, but just lower their opacity.
Once the wedges are drawn, select them by Command-clicking the layer. Doing this makes a selection with the same shape and opacity as the layer clicked.
Then, on the spinning blades layer, hit Delete and you'll remove 50% opacity on that layer, to get this:
You can almost hear this helicopter flying!
Glad you made it! Now your character can fly and move faster than by car, and your isometric pixel art library of reusable items continues to grow!
The sky is the limit!

what is this i dont even...
Basically, it is like Castle Crashers but with pirates.
Wow, very typical of them to use the same pirate joke over and over by using, "Arr"...
In all, game looks crap.
What a fitting game to pirat- uhh, I mean buy.
Lol, this group has only released 10 games.
isn't Majesco an allright company?
Watch out, that guy's got a leg of beast!
I think it's shovelwARRR
Is it anywhere near Castle Crashers by the fun factor?
It seems to be a fun game, I'll definatly try it later...
And btw, there is a "r" missing on the name. It's "Plund-Arrr", not "Plund-Arr".
I'm not fluent in english and do not understand the pun.
Can you explain to me what joke is there with "Arr" and "pirates"?
That every pirate says Arrr for some reason...
Pirates Plund-Arrr -First 6 Minutes- [Nintendo Wii]
Have you ever heard pirates say the word, "Arrr"? It just sounds like the letter "R", and lots of people use that same joke over and over these days. The title of the game should really be, "Pirates Plunder", but instead since it's about pirates, they say, "Plund-Arr". Meh.
Ok I prefer that explanation, so it's quite "cultural" that in english you have spotted this particularity when pirates speak.
When I think about pirates I imagine some (pirate) guy with a big voice and some strong accent who laugh out loud like 'ahahhaaah' (like bad guys often do ), but nothing that can for sure identify pirates when particular written are made...
I'm not explaining myself quite well, I hope you understand me...
Anyway, I understood you, and will go to bed tonight less idiot !
What's a Pirate's favourite letter?
I know you want to say 'R', but it's the 'C' they love...
I've just played the game and I've found it very amusing!
I really enjoyed it! A lot!
It's a fun beat-em-up, just like Castle Crashers, just without the online play and the DLCs (and with some more loading screens).
Play it! Now!
Yeah. I like the game & its fun to play!.
not a bad game to tell you the truth it's really fun with friends.

3089 FRANCE (Centre-Val de Loire) - Chateau de Boisrenault in Buzançais
The Château du Boisrenault, located 12 kilometers from the commune Buzançais, in the Indre department in central France, was built from 1882 to 1896 in Renaissance style by Huard de Boisrenault, who offered it as a wedding present to his daughter Marguerite, when she married Viscount Léonce de Maussabré. The youngest son of the two, Louis, will live there with his wife Denise. When her nephew Yves du Manoir married Sylvie, Denise was widow and offered to share her home. They have 3 children: Olivier, Florence and Véronique.
In 1988, Sylvie decided to open the castle to the hosts. In 2000, Yves died and Sylvie prefers to stop this activity which was taken up by Véronique, her husband Miguel, and their children Hadrien et Yarelli. Miguel, of Mexican nationality, didn't bear the cold winters, so the family moved under the sun of Mexico in 2003. Florence, who lived next door to her children Elfie, Colas and Marin, returned to her childhood home, and since 2016, Elfie and Colas have taken up the torch. The château is surrounded by a small wood of centenaries trees and has 5 rooms to rent.

Not all ionic compounds are soluble in water. If PbSO4 is added to water, none of the lead(II)sulfate will dissolve. The interaction between Pb2+ and SO42- is simply stronger than the attraction of the water to either the Pb2+ or SO42- (Both enthalpy and entropy play a roll. We will discuss entropy and lattice energy second semester. We will discuss enthalpy and bond energy later this semester).
Simple Rules for the Solubility of Salts in Water
If two solutions are mixed together it is possible that two ions could combine to form an insoluble ionic complex.
A solution of silver nitrate is combined with a solution of sodium chloride. The resulting solution contains Na+, Ag+, Cl-, and NO3-, but AgCl is not soluble in water. Since Ag+ is now in solution with Cl- the two will combine to form AgCl, and the AgCl will precipitate from solution.
The reaction can be described in a number of ways
Net ionic equations are found by writing the full equation and then eliminating the spectator ions; spectator ions are ions that do not participate in the reaction. In the example above Na+(aq) and NO3- are present as both products and reactants. Since Na+(aq) and NO3- do not participate in the reaction they are called spectator ions.

Arcanum: The Extraordinary True Storyby Janet Gleeson
Synopses & Reviews
Even at the dawn of the Age of Reason, humankind sought to discover the arcanum, the secret formula that could transform base metals into gold. But by the early 18th century, porcelain, the precious ceramic made in China for almost 1,000 years, had become a symbol of fabulous wealth and prestige. This is the story of Johann Friedrich Bottger, an alchemist and virtual prisoner of a greedy king, who — at the cost of his own life — discovered how to make porcelain and in so doing changed the course of history.
The #1 bestseller in England tells the story of the obsessive pursuit of the secret formula to 18th-century Europe's most precious commodity — fine porcelain.

Boiler Service Harworth Nottinghamshire (DN11): An essential thing that you should routinely do every twelve months, if you've got a gas or oil boiler, is to get it serviced. A large number of home owners ignore the recommendation that this is an essential annual routine that needs to be implemented. Even if you've got an extended warranty covering your boiler, that doesn't mean that you'll not need to service it, as the majority of boiler warranties will only kick-in if your boiler is frequently serviced.
At any rate, you will want to get your home's boiler serviced regularly to make sure it's in perfect working order, and not simply because your are compelled to do so. The reality is that well cared for boilers function much more efficiently, smoothly and safely, and you will get that added reassurance getting it serviced on a regular basis.
It isn't just domestic householders who are likely to need a boiler service in Harworth, given that landlords who are planning to rent their properties will also have to do this. This is going to be even more crucial for landlords in Harworth, as safety certificates are a necessity for individuals who are renting, and there are serious consequences for those that don't have one. It is essential that rental houses with gas boilers have a current landlord safety certificate, provided by a registered Gas Safe technician. In relation to oil fired boilers, there's not at present any legally binding requirement to get safety certificates (even in rented homes), although routine servicing is usually recommended for safe and efficient functioning.
Before high-efficiency condensing boilers were invented, having gas boilers serviced every twelve months was not quite as crucial. Those earlier boilers did not have as many components and were significantly cheaper and simpler to repair. It was of course still prudent to get them serviced regularly but not quite as vital as with the high-tech modern condensing boilers and combi boilers, that are far more efficient, and extract over ninety percent of the energy potential from the gas that they use.
Monthly or yearly boiler maintenance plans, such as Homecare with British Gas for instance, are relied on by lots of residential property owners in Harworth. Schemes of this kind should include an annual boiler service in conjunction with other products and could be perfect for certain people. Nonetheless, the costs for these can be high, with the minimum cost in 2020 of £14 per month, and advanced services significantly greater (up to £23.50 monthly). If you prefer to get these kinds of jobs done when you require them, a certified heating engineer in Harworth will carry out a standard boiler service for between £65 and £75, or something near to that figure.
You need to track down a competent Harworth plumber or heating technician when it is the appropriate time to get your home's boiler serviced. There might not be quite as much choice as you'd think, seeing as there are a lot of plumbers about that are not qualified to work with gas and wouldn't be appropriate for this task. If your appliance is a gas boiler, rather than oil-fired, only a Gas Safe authorised plumber will be good enough. You could encounter "odd job" type people who'll say that they can do the task, but will not be adequately qualified - avoid using these at all costs.
There are several methods that you could use to locate a heating engineer including - picking through your local free Harworth newspaper classified ads page, flicking through the Yellow Pages, browsing the quality online directories such as Opendi, Yelp or Scoot, searching on Google, looking out for leaflets on your local supermarket notice board, or you could get a recommendation from another tradesperson that you know of.
It also needs to be emphasised that asking family or friends is always one of the most reliable methods, since they might be glad to recommend a decent plumber. Last but not least, if you would like somebody else to do the hard work for you, the larger online trade portals may be your answer, web sites like Local Heroes, Rated People, My Hammer, My Builder, Checkatrade or TrustaTrader, provide a free quote service and provide the chance to go through reviews by past clients.
When doing a boiler service, heating engineers in Harworth will usually undertake a carbon monoxide check, conduct an examination of your current heating controls, complete an efficiency test to make sure that your boiler is working effectively, perform a gas installation test, complete a flue and emission test, empty and clean out the central heating filter (if you have one installed), remove and clean debris from the burner, combustion chamber, heat exchanger and injectors, check for any gas safety defect which might impact on the operation of your appliance, check the condition of all gaskets and seals and perform ventilation assessments.
Boiler servicing is available in Harworth and also in nearby places like: Scrooby, Blyth, Stainton, Firbeck, Tickhill, Austerfield, Ranskill, Serlby, Tickhill Spital, Bawtry, Wadworth, Bircotes, Misson, New Rossington, Maltby, Oldcotes, Styrrup, Langold. Verifying this should confirm that you're accessing locally based providers of a boiler service. Harworth homeowners can utilise these and countless other boiler related services.
Gas Boiler Replacement Harworth
Most homeowners in Harworth normally do not think about replacing their gas boiler until it actually gives up the ghost, however if it's more than 10 years old and not working that well, it might be worth replacing. An older gas boiler can also discharge dangerous carbon monoxide gases if it isn't working properly. Carbon monoxide is known to be a killer and if your current boiler can't be adjusted to work correctly to prevent this risk, it should be replaced.
A Gas Safe registered technician from a specialist heating firm in the Harworth area, is the only individual who's qualified to work on gas appliances and install a replacement. A brand new gas appliance can be acquired from a national or local plumbing and heating contractor, who'll also be able to fit and commission the replacement unit to give you many years of trouble free hot water and heating. Don't feel you have to go to your energy supplier to replace your gas appliance, you can also go to some local Harworth plumbing and heating companies for quotes, which will frequently be less expensive.
Biomass Boilers Harworth
Biomass boilers have become a lot more popular in Harworth in recent years, largely due to the increasing call for green energy. Though they function in much the same way to traditional gas and oil fired boilers, bio-mass boilers are fed with eco-friendly wood pellets instead of fuels that have a high carbon footprint. Bio-mass boilers are more pricey and bigger than your standard gas boiler, but their running costs compare well with conventional fuels, and are unquestionably a lot less expensive for heating water than electricity (approximately one third of the cost). Significantly more sustainable in the long term, biomass boilers are fuelled with pellets composed of agricultural residues, fast-growing/replenishable lumber, sawdust, forestry waste and industrial waste. The added fact that by taking advantage of the RHI scheme, whereby the Government will reimburse you for the heat you generate with a bio-mass boiler for a period of 7 years, is a substantial attraction for these systems.
Biomass boilers, just like any other boilers, need to be serviced on a regular basis to ensure that they're working effectively. To assist you with the repair, servicing and maintenance of your eco-friendly biomass boiler, you'll find that there are a few specialist technicians in the Harworth and Nottinghamshire area.
The Advantages of Biomass Boilers
- They're fuelled with renewable materials.
- They provide an easy way to get rid of waste plant materials and wood.
- They help to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide.
- They are covered by the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive).
- They help to reduce the impact of global warming.
- They are an eco-friendly source of energy.
- They're likely to be cheaper to run in the long run.
- They encourage the management and planting of woodland and forests.
Gas Safe Register
As has been previously said, it is important that you pick a Gas Safe plumber in Harworth to do a service on your gas boiler. These technicians used to be called "Corgi Registered" a few years ago. Throughout the majority of the UK, the registration body for gas changed from Corgi to the Gas Safe Register on 1st April 2009. You shouldn't take shortcuts when you have gas appliances that need servicing or repair, even when you want to get them completed swiftly. Employing a non-registered plumber could nullify your guarantee and cost you more in the long term. You'll be able to go to the Gas Safe Register website to search for a local Harworth Gas Safe registered engineer.
Oil Boiler Service Harworth
The twelve monthly servicing of oil fired boilers is equally as important as with gas boilers. This is to make sure you lower the chances of breakdown and keep your device working as effectively as possible. To make sure it's operating economically and safely, the servicing of an oil fired boiler will include a clean, a flue analysis and a full inspection. This needs to comprise the cleaning of burner parts and boiler baffles, testing levels of combustion, together with a visual assessment of the tank which will pinpoint any potential problems that could arise. It's also important to verify the pressure level on a sealed system (if you've got one), and make any necessary corrections. Locating a heating company who commissions, repairs and services oil fired boilers in and near to Harworth shouldn't be hard.

Gas Boiler Repairs Harworth
Losing your heating and hot water can be really stressful at any time of year, but doubly so if your home's gas central heating boiler stops working in the winter. The very first thing to do is to look at your insurance protection to ascertain whether it covers your boiler and heating systems. If your heating system does come under your policy you may have to call on an insurer specified heating company, but if it isn't covered by insurance you'll have to book in your own heating technician.
Many local boiler repair companies in the Harworth area will provide an emergency out-of-hours service for heating system repairs. While you might feel that time is tight, still try to obtain a minimum of 3 different quotes, with an estimated time to repair, from various different engineers. Even if you do not accept a quote, you might be charged a call-out fee, especially if they were needed outside standard working hours.

Harworth Boiler Service Questions
In the past month or so I've been mulling over the questions that home owners in Harworth ask regarding boiler servicing. Some of our web visitors tendered some noteworthy queries that are applicable to this post. The most appropriate ones seemed to be, "How often do I need gas boiler service?" "Precisely who can do a boiler service in Harworth?" "How much for gas boiler service Harworth?" "Which is the best boiler service plan?" "Is gas boiler service necessary?" The majority of these questions will have hopefully been answered in this article, and if that is not the case a "Questions and Answers" section will be introduced before long. Our thanks go to Ibrahim Harvey, Cohen Bradley, Amari Barnett and Isabelle Simmons from Harworth, for taking time out to put these excellent questions. Relevant questions were also received from Alexis Marsden in New Rossington, Jaxson Hood in Tickhill and Khloe Nichols in Styrrup.

Immediate and applicable results are the benefit of using Bing, Google or Yahoo, which were created for this precise function. Sifting through such results can be a bit challenging and all may not be as it appears on the face of it. Most home owners, when searching for someone to do a boiler service in Harworth will type in "boiler service Harworth", "Harworth boiler service", "boiler service near me" or "boiler service in Harworth" into the search box and browse through the listing results. The top trade portals like Local Heroes, Rated People, My Hammer, My Builder, Checkatrade or TrustaTrader, and directories such as Yell, Hotfrog, ThreeBestRated or Yelp will feature high up on the consequential page one listings, as will solely PPC advertising (normally the 4 top listings). The sites belonging to actual boiler service specialists in Harworth will probably be out of sight on page two or three of the results, so you'll need to delve deeper if you prefer to contact boiler service specialists direct.

(ANSA) – ROME, 01 JUN – A sold out bridge in the seaside resorts. Between Thursday 2 and Sunday 5 June, thanks to the great heat, there will be over 14 million tourists who will travel to Italy, guaranteeing an overall economic movement of around six billion euros. Well over half of the vacationers will have the seaside resorts as their destination; following, choices preferred above all by foreign tourists, cities of art, hills and lakes, spas. This was foreseen by a survey by Cna Turismo e Commercio.
Four million tourists will stay overnight in paid facilities for at least one night. Of these 500 thousand will be limited to staying away from home for one night, two and a half million for two nights, more than a million for three nights.
The overnight stays in the hotel will be privileged, followed by the Bed and Breakfast. The other 10 million tourists will be divided between one-day trips and stays in second homes, especially near seaside resorts. According to the Cna, this latter option has been rediscovered in the last two years with the reduction of long-range trips and the transfer to second homes for shorter or longer periods of time in the era of confinement and smart working, which has involved restorations and modernizations. still to be amortized.

Kirk Hinrich could have made more money elsewhere, but he likes it in Chicago.
So he is staying.
…The source said that Hinrich took less money from the Bulls than he was offered by other teams, including Charlotte and Utah, though he will make more than the veteran’s minimum to continue playing for the team that drafted him back in 2003.
With Derrick Rose’s return, Hinrich is likely to reprise his role as the Bulls’ backup point guard, though he will also be able to slide over to shooting guard and play alongside the former league MVP.
Hinrch was signed with the room exception, so he would make $5.6 million over two seasons, with a player option on the second year.
Hinrich averaged 9.1 points a game last season, shot 35 percent from three and plays solid defense in coach Tom Thibodeau’s system. He’s not a thrilling signing, but he’s solid. If he’s starting and getting a lot of minutes for the Bulls, it’s not a good sign, but if it’s just minutes off the bench he’s solid.

Wii Fit Trainer
The Wii Fit Trainer (Wii Fit トレーナー, Wii Fit Trainer) is a role in the Wii Fit series filled by a female or male fitness instructor.
In the Wii Fit games, the Wii Fit Trainers instruct the player during fitness exercises (typically those involving mimicking yoga poses) by posing in a way that the player then has to mimic, and instructing them on what to do. The Wii Fit Trainers also offer the players encouragement and advice.
Main article: Wii Fit Trainer (SSB4)
The female Wii Fit Trainer was confirmed as a playable newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4 on June 11th, 2013, during E3 2013, with her own trailer being shown.
The male Wii Fit Trainer was confirmed to appear in the game on October 31st, 2013, the day the trial version of Wii Fit U was released and was later confirmed as an alternate costume in the Super Smash Bros. Direct presentation.
On the current SSB4 tier list, Wii Fit Trainer is at 51st place out of 55, ranking at the bottom of the F tier. Her quick mobility grants her a good approach, along with decent combo ability. She also comes equipped with two useful projectiles in Sun Salutation and Header, with the former capable of healing her, and the latter being useful for edge-guard breaking and even being able to score a meteor smash. Her Deep Breathing special can temporarily power her up, making her KO options even more powerful. However, her attacks possess noticeable start-up lag and problematic hitbox placement, making successful hits difficult without careful planning. Her grab game is also an issue, with barely any reach on it, and underwhelming throws. All in all, Wii Fit Trainer's issues hold her back to an extent, evident by her low tournament representation, yet she still has a few dedicated players in competitive play.

Autoimmune diseases are those that occur when the immune system reacts abnormally and attacks its own body. Proteins called antibodies, produced by white blood cells, are used to identify and destroy foreign bacteria or viruses. When normal substances are mistaken for foreign, the antibodies end up attacking the body and causing an autoimmune disease.
The cause of autoimmune diseases is not known, but is believed to be affected by exposure to microorganisms or other environmental causes. These diseases are more common in women, who account for 75 percent of cases. Some people may be genetically predisposed to autoimmune diseases.
There are more than 150 different autoimmune diseases. Some attack certain specific organs while others affect multiple organs or the entire body. They can be mild or life-threatening, but every disease is rooted in an immune system malfunction. The common symptoms among these diseases include fatigue, dizziness, malaise and fever.
The most common types of autoimmune diseases are:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - RA is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It most commonly affects the wrists, fingers, knees, feet and ankles and causes muscle aches, stiffness and joint pain. RA affects over 2.5 million people in US.
- Lupus - Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the entire body. Mild cases of lupus can primarily affect the skin, causing skin rash, mouth sores and hair loss. Most people also experience joint pain and swelling, fatigue and fever. There are over 16,000 new cases of lupus each year and it most commonly affects women between the ages of 15 and 45.
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) - MS is an autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system and causes loss of muscle control, vision, balance and sensation. The immune system attacks the myelin sheath, which is the protective coating that surrounds nerve fibers. Without the protection, the nerves become inflamed and symptoms form and worsen as the disease progresses.
- Scleroderma - Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes fibrosis, or hardening of the skin and its connective tissues. Mild cases can cause skin deformities while more severe cases can affect internal organs including the joints, lungs and kidneys. About 100,000 Americans suffer from scleroderma.
Other types of autoimmune diseases include diabetes, celiac disease, dermatomyositis, Addison's disease and Grave's disease.
Thyroid disease is a common condition that occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce the proper amount of hormones needed by the body. Thyroid hormones help regulate the body's heart rate, temperature and metabolism. A malfunctioning gland may be producing too much or too little of these hormones for a number of different reasons, such as an autoimmune disease, exposure to radiation, reaction to medication or pregnancy.
Hyperthyroidism is an overproduction of thyroid hormones, while hypothyroidism is an underproduction. Although these are different conditions, both can lead to enlargement of the thyroid gland, heart problems and other complications. Treatment for thyroid conditions usually includes medication to increase or decrease hormone production, or surgery to remove part or all of the thyroid gland.
Alopecia, or hair loss, is a common condition caused by a number of reasons. Hair loss can be natural, a side effect of medication or signs of another health condition. It can result in total baldness, patchy bald spots or thinning of the hair, and may be confined to the scalp or affect other areas of the body. Some of the causes of alopecia include:
- Male pattern baldness
- Fungal infection of the scalp
- Trichotillomania (mental disorder that causes a person to pull out his or her own hair)
- Thyroid disorders
Treatment for hair loss is usually based on the cause but can include completion of chemotherapy, treating infections, drug therapy like Rogaine and Proscar or hair transplant plugs.

Protein (protein Is The Basic Structural Material Of All Cells)
The building blocks of human proteins are twenty amino acids that may be consumed from both plant and animal sources. Of these 20 amino acids, 9 are considered to be essential because their carbon skeletons cannot be synthesized by human enzym
By: Loss Weight diet
Protein is the basic structural material of all cells. Biologically active proteins include enzymes, immunoglobulins, hormones, neurotransmitters, nutrient transport and storage compounds, and cell membrane receptors. Plasma proteins (e.g., albumin) contribute to oncotic pressure that directs the flow of fluid and metabolic waste from the intracellular compartment into the capillary venules. These proteins (e.g., hemoglobin) also contribute to plasma buffering capacity and oxygen-carbon dioxide transport (e.g., hemoglobin, myoglobin). Acute phase reactant proteins (e.g., ferritin, prealbumin) secreted by the liver bind minerals such as iron and zinc rendering them unavailable to support microbial proliferation.
Biological value of a dietary protein is determined by the amount and proportion of essential amino acids it provides. If any one of the essential amino acids is not available in sufficient amounts or is present in excessive amounts relative to other essential amino acids, protein synthesis will not be supported. Under these circumstances, labile body proteins such as plasma albumin will be catabolized to provide the limiting amino acid so that protein synthesis may continue.
Protein from animal sources (meat, fish, dairy products, egg white) is considered high biological value protein or a "complete" protein because all nine essential amino acids are present in these proteins. An exception to this rule is collagen-derived gelatin which is lacking in tryptophan.
Plant sources of protein (grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds) generally do not contain sufficient amounts of one or more of the essential amino acids. Thus protein synthesis can occur only to the extent that the limiting amino acids are available. These proteins are considered to have intermediate biological value or to be partially complete because, although consumed alone they do not meet the requirements for essential amino acids, they can be combined to provide amounts and proportions of essential amino acids equivalent to high biological proteins from animal sources.
Plants that are entirely lacking in essential amino acids are considered incomplete proteins or sources of low biological value protein. These sources include most fruits and vegetables. A low biological value means that it is difficult or impossible to compensate for insufficient amounts of essential amino acids by combining different sources as with partially complete proteins.
