10 of the Best Red Christmas Tree Ideas to Inspire You

The color of passion is also the color of Christmas, especially when you think about jolly old Santa and his easy-to-recognize suit. Combined with the green of a Christmas tree or with the white of a beautiful winter snow setting, red is definitely a color chosen by many because it looks absolutely sensational in a winter dcor. If you are not sure how to integrate red as part of this year's Christmas tree, we've put together a collection of ideas that might give you some inspiration. If you have a silver artificial Christmas tree, then half of your dcor problem is solved, as all you need to is to throw in some red tree decorations. Here you can see that some golden ornaments have been added into the setup, creating a superb contrast which results in a very elegant tree. You can also have a natural or green artificial Christmas tree and just decorate it with silver and red ornaments. The beauty is that you can mix ribbons and garlands in any of these two colors with whatever globes or tree trinkets you fancy. You can also add your own personalized decorations items, like maybe something made with holly or simply place some poinsettias underneath the tree. Red and blue is not your average Christmas tree combination, mostly because these two strong colors brought together are not always pleasant to look at. However, there are exceptions to this rule, especially when a third color is added as a buffer to diminish some of that impactful contrast. If your patriotic spirit is with you during the Christmas holidays, you should explore the possibility of buying a red, white, and blue Christmas tree. Its branches are already colored and you can add a few matching ornaments here and there. Of course, there is nothing stopping you from using the red and blue combo on your natural Christmas tree either. But, once again, this is an example that a buffer color makes the red and blue combination more pleasant to the eye. Here you can see different globes and ornaments, some of them with silver accents. The white snowflakes that are part of the dcor are a beautiful touch. (And, if you are a Pats fan, this tree is for you!) This woodsy wonderland pulls elements from traditional Scandinavian Christmas designs, as seen in the tree skirt, as well as rustic Americana(in the plaid ribbon) and deeply traditional elements, sentiments, and symbols. Foregoing a tree topper for sprigs of red berries sets this tree apart, but there's nothing better on a rustic red design than flocking, pine cones and that adorable squirrel ornament. When you think about a traditional-style Christmas, you are probably picturing those rustic wooden toys that would make children so happy. Wooden toy cars and rocking horsies were everything a kid could dream of back in the day, so adding these as part of a rustic red Christmas tree setup makes sense. If the wooden toys are too big, you can just scatter them underneath and around the tree. When it comes to decorating Christmas trees in an elegant fashion, there are not many ways in which you can go wrong. Choosing a mere two colors of the ornaments and the string lights is one way to make a Christmas tree look super classy. Usually, people like to combine red ornaments with golden ones, as these colors create a wonderful visual effect. Large and thick ribbons are also a great way to make a tree appear more elegant. Here is another example of how effective ribbons can be when you want to create like a magical tree theme using the color of passion. Aside from the magnificent effect created by the large ribbons, you also see plenty of other similarly-colored decorations, including Christmas flowers, red and golden ornaments, and simple (but very effective) string of warm Christmas lights. This lovely example of a red and golden Christmas tree shows how easy it is to create an elegant dcor by using nothing more than just two colors. The giant golden flowers are complimented by huge red ribbons and holly berries, in a nature-inspired Christmas tree theme that's worthy of finding its way into your living room. If I did not know any better, I would say someone stole this tree from the interior of a really fancy mall. If you know that you want this year's predominant tree color to be red but are not sure what other combinations to go with or simply do not want to bother with thinking and planning tree decorations, you can always opt for a full red setup. Just buy all the ornaments, garlands, and tree lights that you like in a red color and scatter them over the branches of the tree. It is a simple solution, but you can not go wrong with it because you wo not be trying any color combinations that are too bold or too complicated to pull off. Decorating a Christmas tree with red ornaments is actually one of the easiest things to do because red is one of the colors that's always been associated with Christmas. Everything from Rudolph's nose to Santa's suit shows just how big of a role the color red plays in the winter setup. Red allows you to get really playful when it comes to the style of the tree as well. You can go for something more rustic that fits into a traditional-style dcor, but you can also go with elegant and modern, a perfect Christmas tree for a more contemporary home design.

1. Living on a Giant Tree - Houses

First of all, look up Polynesian history. They build boats, houses and waged war without metal. Weapons were made of wood, bone and teeth.As for your buildings. What is the purpose of a castle?In its simplest terms, the definition of a castle accepted amongst academics is "a private fortified residence". This contrasts with earlier fortifications, such as Anglo-Saxon burhs and walled cities such as Constantinople and Antioch in the Middle East; castles were not communal defences but were built and owned by the local feudal lords, either for themselves or for their monarch.Liddiard, Robert (2005), Castles in Context: Power, Symbolism and Landscape, 1066 to 1500, Macclesfield: Windgather Press Ltd, ISBN 0-9545575-2-2I figure you just mean a fortification. Fortifications are dictated by the enemy and their weaponry. If your enemy is other elves living on the tree that means they too have limited access to metals. If it's far away empires that bring armored knights and trebuchets it's a very different requirement.Where do you build fortifications? Generally along an access point. Either to a valley, on a river crossing etc. So for any outside threat that will be the trunks that lead to the ground. Now a vertical surface is easy to defend. The enemy needs to climb, either the surface itself or a flight of stairs. Elevators can be cut down. Even platforms and stairs could be destroyed under a siege.If your fighting would be within the tree I see fortifications arise on the points used to travel between branches. Generally the trunk as it's the only thing really going vertical. So a fortification around the trunk makes sense. This needs to be a wall and a gate really. Perhaps with small holes so our defenders can use specialized pikes to stop the enemy from simply bringing some axes.I think the most sense would be to erect buildings along connections. Branches to smaller branches, branches to trunk etc. It makes little sense to build a house on the middle of a branch. You got no cover, you are in full wind. No go where you got vertical support from other branches or trunks.I imagine them cutting into the trunk to make something akin to cellars. Then around it you build your building with wood. The important things protected deep within the bark. If you must live in the middle of a branch dig in. Carve a deep trench as the foundation of your home. Then secure a roof above it.It makes the most sense your people import iron nails. Wooden pegs could get you far, perhaps even bone is an option. But iron nails would be treasured. Perhaps a sign of wealth even. If your elves are long lived it would also make sense they shape the tree like a bonsai. Young thin branches are pulled and curved into support structures for future buildings. It's a slow process and needs central administration but it would be worth it for a large city.

2. Recurrence formula for tree [closed]

HINT: Notice that if $dge 1$, then $n(d1)=5n(d)$, since each of the $n(d)$ nodes at depth $d$ has $5$ children. Thus,$$beginalign* n(1)&=2 n(2)&=5cdot2 n(3)&=5(5cdot2)=5^2cdot2 n(4)&=5(5^2cdot2)=5^3cdot2 endalign*$$This gives you the recurrence, and from these data it should not be too hard to guess a closed form for $n(d)$ (and of course then prove that it's correct).

3. $620 for high index optical lenses?!?

Find another cheaper place to make your 1.67 index lenses with an AR coating. Your astigmatism is high. Like you I don't have a money-growing tree at home.
