![]() ![]() My feet still hurt to high heavens because those gorgeous shoes don't have a lot of support for a seldom stiletto-wearer like me. ![]() I didn't trip as the first bridesmaid to parade across a country-club lawn in front of approximately 150 guests, and the last bridesmaid to walk out after the nuptials. The day of the ceremony they made the heels much easier to walk in and prevented me from aerating the lawn. ![]() And let me tell you fine folks, these lil' pieces of plastic are SO STURDY. I was able to easily slip them onto the glitter-encrusted heels upon arrival. I've put those Heel Stoppers in approximately one billion stories and, using the sizing guide on the Amazon listing, finally bought some to fit the Blue by Betsy Johnson stilettos I wore on the big day. So what's a klutz with a high center of gravity to do while trying not to 1) fall down or 2) keel over while quietly stifling tears during her friends' vows? Buy some Heel Stoppers, that's what! Then I took a deep dive into the venue and learned we'd be walking on grass. "I normally live in flats or block heels but when my friend MaryAnn asked me to be a bridesmaid and I settled on a Jenny Yoo dress, I assumed the black-tie optional dress code would require something likely higher than my 2 to 3 inch block heels.

Let’s just leave that aside, because we try to work with steady states, and only dealt with time-dependent conditions when we absolutely had to. Important things, lahars.Īnyone here got relatives or property near Mt Rainier? Important things, lahars.įootnote There’s also the complication of the change in shear rate with time. Geomorphologists have to take it into account in studies of (say) slope stability as the rain soaks the hillside (wasn’t this an issue in California last week?), or as a volcano piles loose ash onto slopes of loose ash (searching my memory for such a recent lahar event … Pinatubo in 1991 unleashed a lot of lahar flows (with some fatalities, IIRC), but the lahar from Nevado de Ruiz that hit Armero in 1985 with 20-several kilo-fatalities (it made the geology news when I were nobbut an undergrad). Geologists know this as the noble science of ichnology – the fossils of living organisms behaving (well, badly or indifferently) in contrast to the fossils of dead organisms, behaving decomposingly. Similar processes occur in forming footprints. Which sometimes can be sufficient to allow the mud to continue shearing under the elephant’s weight, whereby the mud’s viscosity continues to decrease, the mud shears faster … and you have a lovely positive feedback loop forming an elephant trap which you can decorate with a topping of safely dancing antelopes. The elephant’s foot on the other hand, imposes a greater initial stress on the mud, and causes a greater decrease in the mud’s viscosity. Fortunately for the antelope, the decreased viscosity remains sufficient to support the weight of the antelope – at least for long enough for the lion to get it. Consequently the viscosity of the mud decreases. The antelope’s hoof imposes a shear stress on the mud which shears, to a very low rate. In this case, consider an antelope walking on the mud beside the waterhole, and compare it to an elephant. ( footnote) Actually, in general viscosity varies with shear rate – but only one set of circumstances matters for this situation : when the viscosity of the mixture decreases as the shear rate increases. There is a relevant property of clay-rich sediments (also extremely relevant to the water-rich “mud” that we use for drilling oil wells), whereby for certain clay chemistry, salts composition and concentration in the liquid phase, as well as temperature, the mixture viscosity varies with the shear rate you apply to the mixture. Odds are good that this is at the margin of a water hole (possibly a river bank). The still at the video link has a water surface in it in the background. How did Mom get trapped in the first place? There’s an odd loose line visible where they’re towing the beast out back-first … next time I see a farmer pulling a cow out of a mud pit, I’ll pay more attention to how he’s rigged his slings. They could do that with 25mm slings (or even just a regular vehicle tow rope if even one of the vehicles had a small – several ton – winch, that’d be the tool of choice) to get lines under the beast, then pull the heavy slings through for the tow. ![]() ![]() You’ve missed (because it was not included in the video) the difficult part of the exercise : getting the lifting gear under the trapped mother. And you use the tools for other jobs too, so you want a multi-purpose product. But you get a live beast at the end of the exercise more often than not. There is a fair amount of experience in the farming industry of getting mired animals out of the mud. Which are standard items in the lifting industry – specify your length and they’ll be off the shelf and on their way to you by close of business. And they look to be using 50mm webbing, laid up into double- or quadruple-layer slings and strops. The next gear in the rigging locker is “soft” slings – 25, 50 or 100mm nylon (or polyester) webbing. But would probably leave dozens of cuts in the surface, and where the links met structural bone would produce lots of crush fractures at the contact points. Chain? Would spread the load wider than wire for sure. But in Africa new gear and used gear anywhere, you inspect and downrate appropriately.)īut what are the alternatives to apply order-of(10 tonnes) of pull? Steel wire? You’d cheese-wire the animal apart. (I checked : there’s a colour coding standard – red slings should be 5 tonne SWL. I’ve seen them before, being used for dragging bogged cattle out of mud pits in fields – which is also in the right sort of weight scale. Those “thin straps” are probably 50mm by 4mm (approximately they’re not made in that many different sizes), so they’ve got a safe working limit of about 4 tonnes each – which is in the right order of things for 4 lines on an elephant-size load. ![]() ![]() ![]() It does not translate for you View 46 alternatives to OmegaT Free Open Source Mac Windows Linux Document translation Machine translation Portable 6 Lokalize Lokalize is the localization tool for KDE software and other free and open source software.

Coyotes in a pack take turns leading the chase after a deer, or a pair may split up to cut a woodchuck off from its escape route. Cooperative hunting helps some predators capture prey. Its only chance is to get within striking distance before being spotted by the prey. A bobcat crouches low and inches forward, gradually closing in on a hare. Dragonflies dart about catching mosquitoes, and otters lunge after small fish, newts, and frogs. The tracks of a weasel in the snow show an animal that dashes every which way as it hunts for mice. Other predators hunt more actively, searching high and low until prey is spotted and then chasing it down. Rattlesnakes nose out rodent trails and curl up beside them to wait. Some use ambush, lying in wait near a known game path and then pouncing on the unsuspecting prey. Predators have a variety of different strategies for hunting. Prey animals tend to stay within a well-known home range, foraging in familiar places and staying close to shelter. They investigate every nook and cranny in search of prey. Predators tend to be inquisitive about their environment, restless and on the prowl. The behavior of predators and prey are largely instinctive, adaptations for their particular way of life, though learning and experience are often important, too. They need the tools and skills of a predator as well as those of prey. Smaller predators, like weasels and housecats, frogs and fish, insects and spiders, are also prey to larger animals, and they must hunt for food and be on the lookout for their predators as well, a double challenge. Hunters of all species learn the importance of approaching their prey from downwind, or their chances of getting close enough for a kill are slim. Having a keen nose is an important adaptation for detecting prey or the presence of predators. The sense of smell is highly developed in most mammals, although we humans depend more on sight. Without turning their heads, they can listen to sounds from every direction. Rabbits and deer have large ears that swivel around to pick up sounds. Foxes and bobcats have ears directed towards the front, an aid in pursuing prey. As with eye position, predator ears tend to point forward. Keen hearing is crucial for both predators and prey. To remember this difference, it’s helpful to learn the rhyme: “Eyes on the side, born to hide eyes on the front, born to hunt.” Owls, bobcats and weasels all have forward facing eyes, while deer, mice, and songbirds have eyes directed more toward the side. However, eyes in this position help the animal see to the front, side, and, in some cases, even behind without turning their heads. This gives them a larger field of vision, though they cannot pinpoint an object in front of them as well. ![]() Prey species tend to have eyes placed more to the side of the head. Forward-facing eyes give good depth perception because their fields of view overlap, thus providing binocular vision. Predators tend to have eyes facing to the front, for locating and following prey as it tries to evade capture. The anatomy and the behavior of predator and prey animals reflect each species’ needs and way of life.īoth predators and prey need keen senses, but the position of eyes and ears, the functioning of noses and sense of smell, can be very different. Prey animals must forage for food cautiously, always on the lookout for predators. Predators must find their prey, chase and catch it, subdue it if it fights back, all before they eat it. What makes the fox clever and the deer swift, and why do both have a keen sense of smell? Predators and prey face different challenges in getting their food. ![]() ![]() ![]() We've got dozens of fun flairs to choose from.So grab your Pogs, Surge cans and Thriller cassettes, and we'll see you in /r/nostalgia! ![]() times we shared with loved ones, both humorous and sad.

This isn't just a Mario facelift ( that already happened) this is a fun twist on something familiar. Though, Monopoly Ultimate Banking and Monopoly Empire are notable exceptions. Monopoly doesn't often take on totally new rules while still being Monopoly.

Its special ability was losing its laces. That useless lump of leather didn't do anything at all. Additionally, each character has unique abilities that impact how you play the game. For instance, if you get a green shell card, you can throw it at the character in front of you to make them drop coins (no money in this version, only coins). The Gamer Edition also adds Mario Kart-esque twists on the rules.

Yet it's not a vain form of self-love in this case. Is it any wonder then that she would fall for the version of herself that she wants to be most?īoth Beths acknowledge that their love could be considered a weird form of narcissism, which was likely the case when Rick hooked up with his own double. Beth has always wanted to love herself, but she's never been able to fully take that step. Sure, there's an implication that Rick's special wine acts as some sort of catalyst for their attraction, but it runs deeper than any chemical sci-fi mojo. This maybe-a-clone-maybe-not-a-clone lives the life that Beth has long dreamed of, and now it's literally in her grasp. Space Beth is the carefree, independent version of herself that Beth's always wanted to be, and crucially, she hasn't had to change herself to reach this point.

![]() You don’t need to say the exact same thing with two words. You can certainly find a shorter or more common word in your thesaurus than a jargony one. The English language has thousands of words. To get your point across, use words people are familiar with. If they need to grab a dictionary to finish a sentence, your writing has room for improvement. Some people think jargon makes their writing sound smart, but you know better. If you find negative statements in your writing that contain don’t, shouldn’t, can’t or another such word, find a way to rewrite them without the “not.” That will probably mean you need to find a more powerful verb. “You don’t want to make these mistakes in your writing” could be better stated as, “You want to avoid these mistakes in your writing.” It’s more straightforward. Instead of saying what something isn’t, say what it is. And that makes your writing that much stronger. Oftentimes, you can eliminate these extra pieces of punctuation with commas or by ending a sentence and starting a new one.

Don’t move back and forth between the two. Try to stick to “I” voice or “you” voice throughout one piece of writing.Īnd if you must switch, start with one and finish with the other.

This will force it to recheck the available frequencies. If connection issues crop up during the course of a day, the wireless situation around you may have changed. ![]() The AE does a decent job of finding clear channels in Automatic mode, so I don't specify a WiFi channel. Tap that, select your Airport Express, and turn the volume up. In the iOS 5 Music app, there's an icon of a triangle poking up into a rectangle in the top right coner. Airplay works, too, so you play music from the iPad to the mixer via wifi just by cabling from the AE's mini jack to the mixer. Fire up StageMix, and you should be good to go. Go back to Wi-F- Networks and you should be connected. Under Settings|Wi-Fi|name of your network|IP Address, choose Static, and give it an address close to your mixer's address. When AirPort Utility is done updating, run the Settings app on your iPad. Turn off Provide Addresses and NAT Service. Tap Status Messages, and Ignore this issue for each one. It will have 1 or 2 red Status messages relating to no Internet. Run Airport Utility on your iPad, and select your AE. You have to turn off most of the functions in the AE, putting it in bridge mode, for it to see your mixer there instead.

Name the Network whatever makes sense to you, and give it a password. After a while, it flashes slowly, and then the iPad should give you a selection to Set up an AirPort Base Station. Release the reset, and it should go solid yellow. This will completely wipe the Airport Express to default settings. Press it in with something while you plug the AirPort Express in to power, and hold the reset button until the LED starts flashing yellow. The Airport Express' reset button is a little soft dot above the USB and 1/8" output jacks. I'm not a network guru, and I will happily take corrections and improvements on my procedure, but this is what got it working for me on an AirPort Express model A1264 and an iPad running iOS 5.
