![]() Those who do face fines and court.Motions activated sprinklers or lights are a great way to condition animals to stay away. Schools throughout the area do the lockdown drill and they make for cute new stories when caught on camera. The bears don’t actually cause trouble unless startled by accident. At this point I’m hoping the den is not in the tiny green belt attached to my back yard. They are awake enough in this mode to protect themselves but don’t hunt. So motion activated sprinklers don’t make much sense right now.Īccording to local government bear guidance I read today, these bears should be going into a hybrid hibernation any day now. I need to cover the hose spigots in a few weeks as we occasionally, on some years, get some arctic air from November 20 into winter. I can have that go off when we open the patio door as well to help clear the area. I’m leaning towards the radio with a switch. Plus the cold weather issues already raised. Animals that fish literally just shake them off. Sprinklers are often effective with small animals like skunks, but most Bears don’t really care. But still tricky if a child happen to be in the yard at the moment contact occurred. It’s actually less frightening to the bear than something like a pepper bomb where the pain continues and there’s nothing the bear can do about it. If the bear brushes it, they get the shock, but as soon as they withdraw, the shock stops. It can be very effective, but it is usually used in very specific ways. I would definitely talk to the local agent/expert before deploying it. A bear in pain is far more dangerous than one that’s just wandering around looking for garbage cans.Įlectric fencing is complicated, and not legal in all areas. Many ski resort areas also get them at the same time of year, including Lake Tahoe.īTW, with regard to some of the suggestions above, given that the OP has children, I would not use any ambush deterrents like hot peppers that will cause the bear great discomfort. ![]() Parts of Alaska and Canada do have " bear lockdowns" at schools, especially in the late fall when the bears are just foraging in a somewhat wider area to prepare for hibernation. ![]() So I can also trigger this noise to go off briefly when we open an exterior door. We sometimes forget to make noise when going out into the backyard. ![]() I’d just like to discourage him from hanging around our yard and kids as much as possible. Though the bear did break into the bin in the driveway on garbage pickup day last week. We keep our trash inside the garage so not worried about that. Other neighbors have already called this year as well as the school just around the corner that goes into bear lockdown every once in a while. The authorities don’t do much with bears since the sightings are so frequent. There’s a cougar eating dogs about 2 miles away right now according to the Facebook community group. Yeah, we pretty much have the same creatures around as you and we are not far from the city at all. And yes, I expect a lot of false alarms because wind, deer and other creatures move through the same area daily… I’ll have to get a little creative for how to switch it on/off. I already have the 12v garden lights wires which I can add or move to power or trigger something. I’m going to try to come up with a method to trigger a water proof AM radio to turn on to a talk show station. You don’t have to go crazy with this, just wash the outsides of your trash cans with ammonia In a normal concentration or even wipe down a fence along the path. So it may be less likely to annoy your neighbors.Īlso remember that your detector is going to go off when anything goes by, including deer, raccoon, a person, etc.īack from my days when camping, bears really don’t like the smell of ammonia. Also the radio doesn’t have to be loud, you’re just trying to simulate people talking nearby. Nothing else works for this, not music, not crazy noises, but most Bears really don’t want to be around people. But it looks like one of the most effective deterrent is just a radio that comes onto a talk station with human voices. So it’s not usually a long term deterrentĬheck with whoever your local agricultural agent/Expert is for anything specific to your area, including laws about what you can and cannot use. According to the experts, bears pretty quickly figure out that even if something weird is going on like lights and noises, nothing actually happens.

Some thatching techniques simply layer new materials on top of the old as the older thatch wears out. ![]() In Minecraft, a layer of yellow carpets may help with a roof's appearance. When thatching a roof, it's important to angle the straw so that water flows off as quickly as possible. Where dormers are used on a thatched roof, they are almost always wall dormers, but one may also see the occasional deeply inset eyelid dormer, as in the picture. ![]() Roof variants such as cross-gabling or monitors are rarely seen on thatched buildings. While a thatched roof can incorporate most of the design styles used on this page, including dormers, the main roof is usually made of a single uninterrupted layer to avoid water leaking through. Thatching is another ancient roofing style using materials such as straw, reeds, sedge, rushes or heather. With a parapet and just a 1m walkway all the way around, that would become 20×24m.Ī much neater design, similar to the church at Hof in Iceland.Ī thatched roof using hay bales and yellow carpets. The building shown on the left is about 16×20 meters. In Minecraft, buildings need to be quite large before mansard roofs begin to look appropriate, especially as it's common to have an extended parapet around them. Note also that as the main point of a mansard roof is to make the roof volume usable, it will almost certainly have dormers built in to it to provide lighting. ![]() The key features of a mansard roof are its squarish profile and its increased volume of roof space compared to a gable roof and other simpler designs. Some mansard roofs resemble bonnet roofs, having a shallow lower pitch which extends beyond the curtain walls. Very large buildings may have several floors under a mansard roof. Hence the usable volume under the roof is greatly increased. Some mansard roofs may use curved roof sections, more commonly on the lower portions. Most of the roof is steep, but it always has a shallow or flat section higher up, and like a hipped roof it has slopes in both the North-South and East-West directions. It has two or possibly three distinct roof pitches. (Better versions welcome)Ī mansard roof is similar to a gambrel roof. Terraces may be large or small, covered or open, or a mixture of the two.Ī balcony may be very similar to some terrace designs, but it is not part of a roof, and the balcony may or may not have a roof covering over it as a rule of thumb, the area under a balcony will also be outdoors, whereas the area under a terrace tends to be indoors.Ī mansard roof with three distinct roof pitches.Īn alternative mansard roof. If the design of a house offers easy access to an area of a flat roof, that roof area may be paved so that it is useful as an outdoor living area. These roofs have one flaw: They are generally a good place for mobs to spawn at night if not lit up or covered in slabs, buttons, or pressure plates. The only thing you shouldn't do is to just use the same materials as for the rest of the building. Use slabs, as in the illustration, or backwards stairs, forming a gutter, or add a border of blank signs all the way round the building, or a parapet, thus making the roof area safe to use. Take a leaf from the blacksmith's book from the village and add a border that little extra effort greatly helps make this simple structure look more attractive.Īlways try to use different block types for a roof border. Making a flat roof is trivial, but making a flat roof that looks real takes a little more effort. This roof type may also be referred to as a parapet roof, meaning a roof with a parapet (a low protective wall) around it. Blacksmith's building from a pre- Village and Pillage Update plains village. The previous section mentioned how floats are used to allow LaTeX to handle figures while maintaining the best possible presentation. To create a figure that floats, use the figure environment. ! LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats. LaTeX by default can cope with maximum 18 floats and a symptomatic error is: The skill is to space them out within your text so that they intrude neither on the thread of your argument or discussion nor on the visual balance of the typeset pages.Īs with various other entities, there exist limitations on the number of unprocessed (placed) floats in line. In this case, LaTeX stacks them all up and prints them together if possible, or leaves them to the end of the chapter in protest. This can be changed by moving the Table or Figure definition to an earlier or later point in the text, or by adjusting some of the parameters which control automatic floating.Īuthors sometimes have many floats occurring in rapid succession, which raises the problem of how they are supposed to fit on the page and still leave room for text. If there is not enough room on the current page, the float is moved to the top of the next page. LaTeX automatically floats Tables and Figures, depending on how much space is left on the page at the point that they are processed. They always have a caption describing them and they are always numbered so they can be referred to from elsewhere in the text. ![]() Floats are there to deal with the problem of the object that won't fit on the present page and to help when you really don't want the object here just now.įloats are not part of the normal stream of text, but separate entities, positioned in a part of the page to themselves (top, middle, bottom, left, right, or wherever the designer specifies). LaTeX by default recognizes "table" and "figure" floats, but you can define new ones of your own (see Custom floats below).
![]() Constantly scanning for malware is virtually useless on a Mac. A nearly dead drive can pass a SMART test. Honest question, has DrivePulse actually done anything other than be another background task? I always turned that feature off due to its lack of useful features and the added strain on the drives. I am waiting on the new Mac Pro, but it kinda sucks that I'm sitting here stuck with half-functional software for the time being.įirst of all, this situation sucks. Their support is terrible, and sometimes I'm not sure if the software even does what it says it does. I just wanted to warn anyone else in this situation, and advise against using Drive Genius. Without automatic scans, the app is pretty much useless to me. I was never given any warning that this version was no longer compatible. ![]() They would not send me a link to version 5.2 (no longer listed on their website), nor issue a refund. Their support would not budge and kept telling me "it is compatible." It does not show Yosemite as compatible on their website as it did when I first purchased. What they neglected to tell me was in this version, Drive Pulse does not work on Yosemite! Manual scans are the only option. ![]() I contacted their support and they had me uninstall version 5.2, and install 5.3. Entering the license and selecting activate did nothing. It would not "open," only pop up with the authorization window to enter the license. Today, my Drive Genius software begin acting strange. I use Drive Genius as it monitors for hard drive errors in the background automatically using a feature called "Drive Pulse." It is important for me to constantly monitor my hard drives, as the studio I work in records audio and edits 7 days a week. I am an audio engineer that still uses a 2009 Mac Pro with Yosemite, as that's the newest OS Pro Tools 11 supports. This Fallout quest is unique in that it’s broken up into two parts. MacCready has a personal quest called Long Road Ahead.He won’t leave you for working with any of them, but he is favorable towards the Minutemen In terms of factions, MacCready is mostly neutral.So, don’t be doing any charity work on his watch. However, he does dislike it when you’re generous or kind in dialogue.

However, he’s also a father now and wants to change his ways for his son. He cheats, lies, and steals without remorse. ![]() He’s a cap-centric killer and doesn’t do anything for free. That abrasive attitude of his has clearly developed and influenced his adult years. He’s the last person I would have ever expected to show up again, let alone as a full-fledged follower.

What Qualities Would A Scorpio Man Not Admire In A Gemini Woman? Gemini Women Are Fickleĭue to their nature as social butterflies that love to make friends and many strong connections, Gemini women may be viewed by Scorpio men as being fickle. So it is important that the Scorpio man and Gemini woman share some common interests. However, if the Gemini woman does not take interest in a specific topic, then it is unlikely that they will prove too engaging when discussing it. Luckily, when a Gemini woman is passionate about a topic, they can become fixated on it, which can make them great to converse with on certain topics. They tend to look for women that can engage them in intelligent and insightful conversations. ![]() Scorpio men don’t only go for women that they find physically attractive, but also have a preference for women that are able to stimulate them mentally and spiritually. Gemini Women Are Passionate And Intelligent This is a quality that is reciprocated by the Scorpio man who is naturally very sexual and passionate about their sexuality. This also applies to sex, as Gemini women love to engage in sex, especially sex that is very physical and very passionate. They enjoy getting to know people and engaging in activities with other people that fascinate them. The Gemini sign itself is often considered by proponents of the Zodiac system to be the ‘social butterflies’ of the Zodiac world. Gemini Women Have A great Passion For Sexuality Thus, a Scorpio man can rest assured that a Gemini woman that is displaying honesty is being completely honest and transparent about this. They are very unlikely to dedicate time to anyone that does not interest them or make them happy. Gemini women are also known to not stick around and love to move around from one subject to another. This tendency towards emotional honesty is a quality that will be greatly appreciated by the Scorpio man who is, himself, highly emotional, and seeks similar from their sexual and romantic partners.Īs well as this, the Gemini woman’s tendency to express their emotions in a clear way is beneficial to the Scorpio man who is very empathetic and seeks to understand and cater to the emotions of his partner. The Gemini woman does not only communicate with their facial expressions and their words but also communicates their emotions via their body language, such as with their hands, which are very expressive. As a result, Geminis are incredibly communicative and seek to form strong connections with many people by being upfront and truthful about their emotions. The Gemini sign is ruled over by Mercury, which is the planet responsible for communication. They only focus their attention on things that make them happy, or that will prove creatively and spiritually fulfilling. Gemini women do not have hidden agendas, and thus will not present false emotions to get what they want. ![]() Gemini women are very honest about their emotions, and will very rarely ever lie about their current emotional state or even their deepest desires and wishes.

Likewise, you can hire freelance translators through various websites. Some cheap translation services hire people without ensuring that the translator is fluent in the target language. When you're looking at low cost translation services, you need to keep in mind the skill level of different translators. An exception might be translating short, basic words or phrases. An ethical translator would rarely translate into their second language. So, remember: the main criterion is that your translator is fluent in the language they're translating to, not from. (More technical or complex language may require a translator who's bilingual.) Even the best translators use software and dictionaries to scrutinize the meaning of the original content and then produce the most accurate translation. ![]() They then use a variety of tools to fill in the areas they aren't 100% sure of. Translators with even a conversational skill level in the original language can typically read most of a basic source document. You need to trust that the translator will produce written copy that maintains all your meanings and reads well to other people who are fluent in that translated language. Your translator must be fluent in the target language, as that's the one you're (likely) not familiar with. Many first-timers make the mistake of thinking they should hire a translator who's fluent in the language of the original source, or fluent in both languages. Before you hire a person or company to translate your content, you should know what you need to look for. Hidden in arch-shaped rocks, 4 jammers must sit on specific parts of the rock to create an arrow, showing the way to the next formation of rock. For collection a silver shard, jammers attain 7 courage points. To get a chest of these special shards, jammers must collect 15 shards. Embedded in cacti, jammers must sit on cacti with golden talons that lay on top of these special plants. For collecting a blue shard, you will attain 10 courage points. To get a chest of these certain shards, jammers must collect 20 of these shards. These shards lay hidden in dried up oases that jammers must collect only by filling up the dried oasis with a watering can. ![]() For picking a yellow shard up, you will attain 5 courage points. To get a chest of these certain shards, jammers must collect 25 of these gems. These shards lay hidden underneath the ground, or inside of the bodies of water in this adventure.

These shards lay on the ground, or on the surface of a body of water. ![]() The time limit for 3-4 players is 15 minutes. The time limit for 1-2 players is 17 minutes. The Forgotten Desert is a member's only adventure, so if a non-member flying animal was released, it wouldn't be able to play. ![]() It is the first, yet only flying animal adventure released. The Forgotten Desert was released to Animal Jam on May 15, 2014. Jammers have to collect all of the hidden Shards before the timer runs out, or the phantoms come back from switching guards. Jammers must collect the missing Shards that the phantoms destroyed to form the 5 crystals that could restore the land. Meanwhile the phantoms who guarded the land were changing guards, giving jammers a small amount of time to explore. Liza explains that the phantoms destroyed 5 crystals that once protected the land you were in, causing the land to turn to desert. The adventure starts when you are greeted by Liza, the panda Alpha, standing on top of a rock formation next to the portal you can leave with. ![]() Before installing these switches, I had to go to opposite ends of the house to turn them on and off. My garage lights are on a different switch than my porch lights but invariably, I want them on at the same time. I love the ability to program functions-such as having the lights turn on at sunset or to coordinate with other lights. The more I've learned about these switches, the happier I am I purchased them. So they are working flawlessly for over a month now. I assume an update was pushed through and it resolved the problem. I just used them as regular (although too expensive) switches for about a month while I saved up some money to replace them all with another type of smart switch.After about a month, I thought I would try and see if I could get them working again and surprisingly all of them were able to be reset and recognized by the hub and the app. As I said above, the switches dropped offline after working well for about a week and couldnt be brought back online, WINK support confirmed that the switches were not viable after several reset attempts. I should have heeded the reviews.ĮDIT.came back after a few months to update this. If you're wanting to purchase these switches dont do it. ![]() Wanted to send them back but I dont have any switches to replace them with after spending dollars on these. Its not a matter of simply reconnecting and re adding them as new switches because the reset procedure doesnt work. Bought 6 of these, all worked well for about a week, then stopped working one at a time. Reviewed in the United States □□ on 13 April 2015 The saga of my home automation continues, but I still have this feeling this was the right setup to go with. This time cutting the power didn't fix it either, so the electrician is coming back to see if they can do anything. After I paired all of my items back to the hub (I'll detail that whole thing when I can update my Wink review) I could not get the one that had to have a hard reset to work again. ![]() Unfortunately though a few days later my Wink hub crashed as part of the major outage and I basically had to start over again. I was asked to shut power off to the switches from the breaker and that did the trick to getting them back online. So after about 20 min on the phone with Wink support we discovered that my light switch was part of a group of switches that needed a hard reset. I'm going to try to reconfigure everything tonight and give these one more shot. This kept us from using the switch on our light post on our driveway (disappointingly the one I wanted to use it with the most) and as you can see from the picture left us with three Tapt switches and one regular. One thing that he found during the install is that these don't work with lights on the GFI so it just kept flipping the reset and wouldn't stay on. Self install was pretty difficult, and we ended up getting an electrician to install these for us. Our house doesn't have the requested "red wire" unless we were already working with a 3-way light, which you aren't supposed to use with these switches. My biggest complaint though so far though has been with installation. I don't think that being able to control a smart switch with a smart bulb from either the wall, or switch should be considered a big ask, but maybe home automation just isn't there yet. One will not connect to the app and is only working at the base, and one will not turn on from the wall if its off on the app. Out of the four switches we have installed, two of them don't work properly. This product has been kind of disappointing so far. |
