![]() ![]() “Whomever comes into our shop needs to be hungry, humble and smart,” Bailey says. If they’re not mechanically adept, there’s still a place for them in other operations. Employees learn the importance of coming to work on time while developing a work ethic. The warehouse is where the company can instill basic traits for success, Bailey explains. Successful apprentices can become company superintendents and foremen upon graduation. SEI also grooms new employees for leadership with a 4 1/2-year apprenticeship program with in-class courses and on-the-job training. This includes ethics training on how to treat colleagues personally and professionally while caring about the workplace and environment. ![]() It’s the peopleīeverly Bailey says the company has been successful because it ensures employees are heard and respected. The project also won an ABC national award in March. It won a Regional Eagle Award for Specialty Contractor – Electrical: Commercial for jobs of $2 million or less. SEI’s installation of Tesla battery storage systems at the Huntington Library in San Marino required placing them on skids to prevent damaging root systems at the library’s botanical gardens. The project was awarded the Regional Eagle Award for General Contractor – Industrial for work costing between $15 million and $25 million. The facility can inject imported water supplies to the aquifer, and the new generators will restore power to the entire facility in case of emergency. SEI installed five emergency backup generators at the Las Posas Aquifer Storage and Recovery Facility in Moorpark, California. The first was for the Calleguas Municipal Water District. Two recent SEI jobs were also award winners at the ABC Southern California Chapter Excellence in Construction celebration in November 2021. The project required building a trestle to support a crawler crane with a diesel pile hammer that drove 33, 24-inch steel tube piles into the ground to support the new bridge. Near Sacramento in Elk Grove, California, SEI is replacing a Union Pacific Railroad bridge over Laguna Creek. A second phase is ready for construction and power consumption for a new user, Bailey adds. The project was completed in 2020 and power generated is being used by Lake Elsinore Unified School District. The company also tied the solar farm into a nearby Southern California Edison substation. SEI installed a panel racking system with weighted ballasts to ensure the landfill cover system wouldn’t be penetrated or damaged. ![]() ![]() We look to win jobs through our various niches.” Award-winning workĪmong its notable projects, Beverly Bailey says SEI designed and built the first phase of a 74-acre solar farm sited on what had been the West Riverside Landfill in Jurupa Valley, California. “We adhere to our core values of quality, safety, teamwork, integrity and commitment and pick the size and scope of the work with technical challenges in remote locations. “Our company is entrepreneurial and we’ve followed the money along the way,” Beverly Bailey says. Now known as Stronghold Engineering Inc., with Scott Bailey the chief operating officer, the company provides design-build services in electrical, civil and general construction in Southern California and beyond. We lifted our hands up and looked up for guidance,” says Beverly, the company’s CEO. “We went on bent knee and asked God to lead and guide us.

In this tutorial, we are installing it on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It can be downloaded from the Ubuntu store, from the official website of GIMP, by downloading the source code or by the terminal. There are many ways to install GIMP in Linux. By default, the GIMP is packaged with most Linux distribution. As it is open-source, its source code can be downloaded. It is a cross-platform tool available for different operating systems such as GNU/ Linux, OS X, Windows, and more. It can perform various image manipulation tasks such as image retouching, image composition, logo designing, and other useful editing tasks. We’ve chosen a subtle gray so as not to drown out the shadowing.GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free and open-source image manipulation software. At the end, should you feel the white background to not be adequate, you can highlight the Background layer, select the Bucket Fill Tool, and proceed to add a bit of color.Other than that, select the GIMP logo layer and move it into the position you want in the thumbnail. If you choose to do so, the directions are the same. It’s not necessary but we decided to add a shadow to the GIMP logo.Merge Down the Drop Shadow layer on top of your text layer.To avoid a shift in the image, uncheck the box marked Allow resizing before pressing OK.However, since our background is white, black is perfectly fine. You could change the color of the shadow to make it more visible on the backdrop, say for instance if your background was black it would be better to choose a brighter color.For the thumbnail we selected ‘ 8’ in both X and Y, ‘ 20’ in blur radius, and cranked the opacity to ‘ 100’.We can then drag the image off to the side so that it’s out of the way for our text until we need to reposition it.If you follow the instructions illustrated above, adjust the image width and height to 200px. The layer image is a 1200 x 1200 which is much too large for our primary image at 680 x 400.Select the GIMP logo you downloaded earlier and click Open. So, open the “File” tab and this time select Open As Layers… just as we did for the arrow during Image Rotation. The best thing to do is add your additional layer now, that way once we begin adding the text, we’ll be able to adjust it so that it doesn’t block out the image.You can choose to color the background however you like using the Bucket Fill Tool in the Tool Doc, but for now, we’ll keep it white. We should now be looking at a blank (white) canvas.As for the height, we’ll keep it at 400px. Our thumbnails are never any larger than 680px width, so we’ll set our image size as such. ![]() ![]() If you are like me and underexpose your images, DxO will always win. PhotoNinja offers better extreme blown out highlights (e.g sunsets). My comparison of PhotoNinja vs DxO Optics pro on my Nikon and Pentax RAW files: DxO is vastly superior in shadow detail, noise reduction without smearing, and lens correction. The newest digicam with no alisiang filter sensor it is not so great! Therefore, you can use an other raw-converter. Generally, I use PhotoNinja because it works great for moiré! Fortunately, iridient and PhotoNinja give the possibilty to export TIFF-file! So, at least I can do my last adjusment in Lightroom or Photoshop!ĪdobeCameraRaw works very good for "older" Digicam. For end-developping I use Photoshop or Lightroom. Photo Ninja is very good and have more adjustment tool then Iridient. I use Photoshop, but Lightroom might serve the same purpose. Neither PN nor Iridient Developer has local adjustments, printing etc, so you will need a secondary editor for those functions. Learn the presets and the adjustment tools, which are somewhat different than in other programs. Work with it for about a week, and I think that you will begin to understand what I mean. Also, once you become familiar with Photo Ninja, it is the easiest and fastest for getting results. Photo Ninja is the clear winner in terms of detail and sharpness, as is evident in your own samples, although I fully expect some ACR devotees to insist that their raw convertor is the best. I have tested and used all three extensively. I hope someone makes the same experience? My default RAW converter will be Iridient 2.3.2! Photo Ninja is good but give not so fine details as Iridient. The details of the cactus is best in Iridient. Only the Sharpeningtools from the above mentioned raw-converter. I do not use Sharpening tools from Photoshop or other.

![]() ![]() However, relative species abundance in pitfall trap catches differs from that found using quadrat samples. It is standardized, non‐lethal, and does not alter the substrate or require frequent visits. Pitfall trapping is one of the most widely used arthropod sampling techniques. The time‐lapse camera method effectively samples litter arthropods to collect long‐term data. Hymenoptera (ants), Embioptera (webspinners), and Blattodea (cockroaches) frequently escaped from pitfalls so were particularly under‐sampled by them. Cameras programed with 1‐ or 15‐min intervals recorded around twice as many arthropod taxa per day and a third more individuals per day than pitfall traps. Likewise, a variety of colored pan traps (colored bowl or bee bowl trap) has been used to gather Hymenopteran insects ( Abrahamczyk et al., 2010 ). We tested the effectiveness of these time‐lapse cameras, and quantified escape and avoidance behavior of arthropod orders encountering pitfall traps by placing cameras programed with a range of sampling intervals above pitfalls, to assess numerical, taxonomic, and body size differences in samples collected by the two methods. Pitfall traps are effectual practice, especially for the edaphic arthropods that are generally active at soil surface ( Hansen and New, 2005 ). We test an alternative sampling method that can be left in place for several months at a time: verticallyplaced time‐lapse camera traps that have a short focal distance, enabling identification of small arthropods.

Pitfall trapping is not ideal for long‐term sampling because it is lethal, labor‐intensive, and may have taxonomic sampling biases. Pitfall traps are commonly used for the collection of terrestrial insects in ecology and biology studies. Pitfall trapping is the standard technique to estimate activity and relative abundance of leaf litter arthropods. ![]() |
