Autumn is such a great time of year for kid's craft and using nature in play activities! This leaf printing activity was so simple to set up and worked brilliantly on our window to create a beautiful autumn display.
To print with leaves you paint on the under-side of the leaf where the veins are prominent. Generously cover them in paint using the paint sticks. You can combine several colours on one leaf to give a nice effect.
Before it dries (remember this is just a few minutes with paint sticks!) press the leaf onto the glass and hold it there for a few moments before peeling the leaf off slowly and carefully. This gives the best print.
The girls built up a whole selection of leaf prints over our window using different leaves and combinations of autumnal colours. We found some leaves printed better than others, so it's worth experimenting to find your favourites.
I've been meaning to ask this here for a while. We have a 2018 Leaf, and the one design item that has always bothered me about it that the windows did not come factory tinted. I am 100% certain that the online promotional materials had the windows tinted in the pictures, which seems a little bait-and-switchy.
I've considered tinting them, but since this seems like a huge oversight on Nissan's part I'm wondering if there is some kind of coating on the windows that is just not visibly tinted. It seems a bit ridiculous, when energy is a premium, not to do something to reduce the cabin being heated by the sun.
An omni-directional fibre optic microprobe was used to measure the quantity and quality of light within the leaves of six succulents having epidermal windows, three species having a subterranean growth habit (Haworthia truncata, Lithops olivacea, and Opthalmophyllum longum) and three growing above ground (Peperomia dolabriformis, P. graveolens, and the sprawling vine Senecio rowleyanus). Although light levels at most locations inside the leaves of all species were high, near those incident on the window surfaces, light levels inside the leaves of the two species of Peperomia often greatly exceeded incident light levels, indicating considerable light scattering and focusing by the leaf tissue. The spectral quality of light inside the leaves of all taxa reflected the absorption properties of chlorophyll, with most of the photons in the green wavelengths. Light quality and quantity inside the leaves did not correlate with the growth habit of the plants, the size of the window (as a proportion of the total leaf area), or location inside the leaf, although light levels generally declined and wavelengths increased deeper in the leaves. Application of reflective tape to the windows reduced internal light levels in L. olivacea and S. rowleyanus, although reductions were not always statistically significant. Although light levels throughout the leaves of P. graveolens were substantially and significantly reduced as a result of the application of reflective tape to its windows, the light levels even at the basal chlorenchyma on the abaxial side of the leaf remained high. In all species investigated, the levels of near-infrared radiation inside the leaves were surprisingly high, yet also declined deeper inside the succulent leaves. This near-infrared radiation may add to the heat load of these plants. Furthermore, application of reflective tape to the windows also reduced the amount of near-infrared radiation inside the leaves of the three succulents examined. These results led to a novel, testable hypothesis that may help to explain previous findings that application of reflective tape to the windows of the leaves of these succulents did not effect a reduction in photosynthetic activity.
I have a variable that stores a path, say "C:\temp\foo\blabla\foobar" I need to get the leaf value, i.e. "foobar".In PoweShell this would be really easy, but I need to do this in a Windows batch file.
