🎨🦇 You know their names - Sorolla, Van Gogh, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Klimt, and many others - but can you describe their unique artistic styles?
In this MEGA 🧵 let's use #BATMAN to learn what makes each renowned painter unique.

All the #PROMPTS are as simple as this:
➡️ BATMAN BY {NAME}
(i.e., Batman by Velazquez)
If the result wasn't good, a famous painting is added to the prompt:
➡️ BATMAN BY {NAME} IN THE STYLE OF {PAINTING}
(i.e., Batman by Velazquez in the style of Las Meninas)
That's it :)

Known for his mastery of light and vibrant beach scenes, #Sorolla might depict Batman under the bright sun of Valencia, casting a dramatic shadow, with the cape mimicking the fluidity of the sea.

🇷🇺⚡️Russian President Putin plans to shift from the country's dependence on oil and gas exports to the timber industry.
Russia holds about 20% of the world's timber reserves, making it a significant advantage.

Desperate response of CEO Drax Will Gardiner @ddwg to @BBC Panorama “Green scandal exposed” shows great opportunism. But repeating the so-called 'sustainability credo' of energy industry does not make industrial tree burning ‘green’ or ‘clean’ (2-8)

minwaxing the music desk this weekend. waiting for the final coat to dry so i can lightly sand with a synthetic abrasive pad and buff to a sheen. this is exciting to me
the poly isn't as level as i'd like, i think the third coat was a bit too thick (might have been too cold in the room) but i sanded it down a bit before applying the final coat as a spray instead, which is supposed to help you get you a glassy smooth finish afterward.
chime in with your thoughts on sealing #wood with polyurethane
Managed #forest landscapes is how big part of the #climate solutions that we need?
Here's some background and some thoughts. /1

Starting with the annual update of net sink in Swedish forests: A continued large net uptake by trees and soil (35 Mt CO2/yr)
This is the enduring effect of long-term investments in the forest-based sector. But what about the rest of the world? /2

At EU level the net forest sink is 400 Mt CO2/yr which corresponds to 10% of EU emissions. Forests are actively managed and #wood harvest is well below (2/3) of the growth.
But this is not the full story of climate solutions from EU managed forests. /3

How Neutral Theory Altered Ideas about Biodiversity

The #freedoms we enjoy came at an enormous cost. The contribution to #WWI and #WWII required mobilizing our people and our #NaturalResources.
#Wood was vital to every soldier – for living quarters, food and ammunition crates, trenches, and yes, coffins.

Serving mainly in #Scotland and the #BritishIsles during both World Wars, the #Canadian Forestry Corps (CFC) provided lumber for the Allies. Assembled in November 1916, the CFC was composed of dozens of forestry companies. Loggers also occasionally served as infantry.
Known as “the Sawdust Fusiliers,” the men continued their military training on Saturdays after their week’s work in the woods. Rifle range practice, training with bayonets, and tactical exercises helped prepare the CFC to protect residents and neighbouring airfields.

How important is a goalkeeper’s ability to prevent shots?
Is it of comparable importance to shot stopping ability?
In this thread I will investigate these questions & outline my ExG prevented model using #Alisson as an example.

Every action a GK performs can be separated into 3 categories:
Save-> here the GK attempts to block the ball going into the goal
Distribution-> here the GK attempts to play the ball to a teammate
Interception-> here the GK attempts to stop the ball from reaching an opponent
Save-> here the GK attempts to block the ball going into the goal
Distribution-> here the GK attempts to play the ball to a teammate
Interception-> here the GK attempts to stop the ball from reaching an opponent
Evaluating GK intercepting from public data is difficult as most stats providers split intercepting actions between recoveries, tackles, interceptions, punches, & claims, & the differences between the categories are unclear & not relevant to interception difficulty/importance.
#USA #Trump #Finland #Austria #wood #ClimateChange
For US President Donald Trump, the matter is clear: it is not global warming that is to blame for the devastating fires on the west coast of his country (in his opinion there is no such thing as climate change),
For US President Donald Trump, the matter is clear: it is not global warming that is to blame for the devastating fires on the west coast of his country (in his opinion there is no such thing as climate change),
but poor forest management in the regions affected. In order to support this thesis, the head of state made, well, somewhat bizarre comparisons in an interview with several media representatives. In his opinion, the people in #Austria and #Finland basically live in the forest.
These countries even regarded themselves as "forest nations"; the people there lived in "forest cities", according to Trump. In an interview with @FoxNews, which about the "@Independent" summarizes, he made his statements even more precise.
#US #IndustrialProduction numbers were released yesterday for Apr-end. The picture isn't pretty. Showing below how bad it was in the last 2 months in actual numbers. (comparing Feb-end with Apr-end; Grey areas show previous recessions). The index itself declined 15.3% (1)

The 3rd in my treelogy of talks entirely based on pun titles - the most egregious one of all.
Here is the sing-along version of "grading and abetting - does timber strength grading help or hinder the circular economy" at the #TIMBER2019 conference of @wood_technology of @iom3 [1]

The previous talk "From forest to last" (#EvolvingTheForest) was a more general look at the future role of #wood the #bioeconomy & #CircularEconomy - which covered, among other things, the huge potential, but also the gap between renewable & unlimited [2]
& 1st talk was "Would you know a tree if you saw one?" (#napres19) in which we learned that it is hard to define a tree - & how this doesn't matter & also matters a lot.
Let's return to this topic of how words shape our thinking, not always for good [3]

No sing-along (as such) for today's presentation at #EvolvingTheForest on #wood the #bioeconomy & #CircularEconomy - partly because what matters most is the discussion afterwards. Thanks to @TilhillForestry for the invitation.

#JhelumFables , a 5 day visual storytelling workshop which I am conducting with youth in #Kashmir kicked off today. There couldn't have been a better classroom than the picturesque houseboat ROOTS situated on river Jhelum.

On day two of the visual storytelling workshop I interacted with each participant. We did small excercises to enhance imagination. Later they chose quaint corners of Roots houseboat situated on river #Jhelum & scribbled stories in company of wood & water. #Kashmir

Light experiments inside classroom on day 3 of #JhelumFables
A chair placed on the wooden Verandah of the houseboat facing west became a prop for portrait shooting- as participants tried side lighting & back lighting before venturing out on the river banks with their camera & pen

With my wife, we are building an extremely ecological self-sufficient house (made of straw, wood and earth), while being modern too.
The house is out of the grid for electricity & water, and there is no heating system.
The construction has finally started after 1.5 years.

I saw a couple carrying these contraptions on way to class at a #designinstitute. My driver drove close to the bikers and they slowed down for me to take photos, giggled &waved😎thanks to Pooja I now know that these are #handmade #mousetraps used in #agricultural #domestic spaces
She studied them for her environmental perception course and even bought one. Pooja said, there’s a specific indigenous people who make this out of palm leaf and wood - all locally available material. They sell these for Rs 120 - 150
They are also hired to install and empty them when the #rats are caught. The makers of this #traditional #local #designsolution make about Rs 10, 000/- per month. Thank you Pooja 😊with every #student I learn so much

Trees contain a lot of potentially useful extractives - chemicals with useful functions that might be taken out before the fibre goes to another market. Some listed in our database thanks to @IBioIC
