Fires in california right now map4/9/2024 “It took two days to come into Greenville,” he said of fire that largely destroyed the town of 1,000 people last week. He and other residents said they could not leave their livestock, pets and land behind.īut everyone was aware of how dangerous the situation remained. “We’re at the mercy of the winds,” said Dan Kearns, a volunteer firefighter in Taylorsville, Calif., where those who had not evacuated ate breakfast together on Sunday morning as their supplies, gas and food ran out. 1,609 structures are threatened and over 300 people have been evacuated. In January 2021 alone, 297 fires burned 1,171 acres on nonfederal land, which is almost triple the number of fires and more than 20 times the acreage of the five-year average for January. A total of 3,421 personnel are reportedly working on the complex. The 2021 wildfire season in California experienced an unusually early start amid an ongoing drought and historically low rainfall and reservoir levels. So far, there have been no deaths reported, and thousands of people have evacuated. Five other fires burn on the east side of the complex. Butte, Lassen, Plumas and Tehama Counties were affected, including the Lassen Volcanic National Park, which is known for exotic hydrothermal sites. More than 42,000 Californians have been forced to flee their homes as nine large wildfires. Firefighters battle the Mosquito Fire along Mosquito.

The word anatomy comes from Latin origins and means to cut. More than 12 million animals, including frogs, cats, rats, fetal pigs, fish and a variety of invertebrates are used for dissection in the US each year. Dissection is a great way to explore the anatomy of an animal. We will start with a class discussion of dissection safety, tools, materials, and clean-up procedures. It is a common practice in high school biology classes to dissect a frog. On the back of the anatomy/physiology review packet make a few notes of the major features/things to be aware of in the following areas: sex determination, digestive system, urogenital (excretory/reproductive), circulatory system, respiratory system, brain.

Penthouse magazine traci lords4/9/2024 How do you make the transition from porn stardom to a so-called “legitimate” acting career? Perhaps the whole Holly Ryder anti-porn affair can be summed up with writer Jack Eagle’s quip: “Hell hath no fury like a biker chick scorned.” I never got anything from that industry except the shame.” Daily News article, “I never got that motorcycle. Reportedly, the company producing her bondage videos promised her the expensive bike. Her original motivation for getting into porn was to earn enough for a custom Harley (hence her choice of the stage name “Holly Ryder”). Ryder at the outlaw enclave of the l989 motorcycle convention in Sturgis, South Dakota. She’d become engaged to future porn director E. Bikes were important to the former waitress. Some–who knew Abato personally–felt the whole debacle could have been prevented with a motorcycle. Failing to secure financial backing through adult industry souces, she allegedly turned to religious right-wing zealots, whose money came with the stipulation that she trumpet the anti-porn cause. Many believed her crusade stemmed from the politics behind the funding of the Holly Ryder Foundation she had set up to help homeless runaway kids. Abato’s most distinctive physical attribute, a bulbous, marble-sized clitoris, wouldn’t be seen in “pretty-girl” boxcover shots that could be displayed in video stores. She may have been irked at not being chosen for more boxcover shots, despite her reconstructed nose and breast implants. Hadn’t she entered the business telling producers, “I’ll do anything!”? She told AVN’s Mark Kernes, “I like the pain that hurts and then turns into a real sensual pain, one that involves your whole body.” She reportedly enjoyed having safety pins stuck in her right breast (the left was saved for a “special lover”). Yes, but that was because she deliberately specialized in bondage videos such as The Latex Dungeon and Diabolic Demands, which suited her professed “S and M lifestyle.” Who’d just ended her three year porn career? Had she been tied up and paddled? Why? What had the industry done to the petite, 26-year-old blonde Holly Ryder, sought one million signatures for an amendment to the California state constitution banning the adult entertainment industry. “Sex Star Seeks Ban on Porn” read the August l9, l993 headline in the San Francisco Chronicle (the story first appeared in the Los Angeles Daily News). The last series of posts were about Traci Lords, the mega-star whose underage revelation threatened to destroy the porn biz.Īt least Lords didn’t do her damage on purpose.

Sonic mania game emulator4/8/2024 So everything I need to resume the Dreamcast port is already in place, and I may have more to share later this year. (On Windows you just drop the EXE in the folder with the game data) The only things left on PC platforms are the videos and using music loop points. "The Mac and Windows builds are mostly finished now I added controller support for those last month and a setup wizard for the macOS build to point it at game files. I asked for a progress report on this about 3 months ago since this was posted about 3 years back. Both Sonic Mania and the modern Sonic CD port are both running on an updated build of that Retro Sonic engine. Sonic the Hedgehog is a platform video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It can only run homebrew tests as of June 2022. It can show the logos in Nier: Automata and ran its first commercial games, We Are Doomed and Sonic Mania, in February 2020. GPCS4 A compatibility layer for the PlayStation 4. Somebody did port the levels from this to the Sonic Mania PC version.Īlso, we will be getting a port of Sonic CD in the future which is in the process of being reverse engineered for the Dreamcast and it is also running on this engine that I posted above. This is also the first-ever PlayStation 4 emulator with a GUI, and like GPCS4, the emulator is Windows-exclusive. It was actually created with Windows CE so it maybe can be modded a bit. There is this though and it is made on the same engine. also don't mind the icons i plan on making new ones in the next release which won't be too far away this time i hope" This is why it is called that: "This is an attempt to make sonic be like he is in the dc era along with many other edits as well ill possibly try stages if anyone is interested in doing stages for this mod and wants to join the team your welcome to do so.

Walmart wii u guitar hero live4/8/2024 It’s also the part that could prove the most divisive for series fans, given it completely does away with the traditional approach to song DLC. I Want My GHTVThe online-only GHTV mode is where the real depth of Guitar Hero Live lies. But GH Live ultimately only served up an evening’s worth of shallow entertainment that I burned through as fast as I could mainly just to unlock its 42 songs (the only ones actually on the disc) for the quickplay mode. Rock Band’s trick of getting audiences to sing along has been appropriated by GH Live, only in this instance you can actually look out on a sea of real faces singing back at you, which does feel pretty fantastic. The live performances are technically impressive, but you never feel connected to your bandmates.In fact, I felt more of a relationship with the crowd. I didn’t feel like part of the band I felt like a total stranger. So little context is given between sets – just some brief radio DJ banter and a few fake fan tweets – that when you’re just shunted from band to band every three songs there’s never any sense of camaraderie on stage. No, the problem is that I simply didn’t care about them. The problem with GH Live is not the overly cheesy vamping of the live-action bandmates around you, nor is it the way they dynamically chastise you when you flub a solo. This is the mode that drops you into the shoes of the guitarist in about a dozen different fictional bands across two music festivals, experiencing each three-song mini-set as a first-person shredder. Stage DiveMy enthusiasm for this exciting new era of Guitar Heroism took a temporary dip, however, once I hopped into the career mode, GH Live. Not only does this reconfigured button grouping keep your fretting hand rooted to the one spot, meaning your eyes never need to leave the screen, it just feels like a better approximation of actually playing the guitar - especially on the upper difficulty levels where the chord shapes and ascending and descending hammer-ons and pull-offs feel particularly analogous to the real thing. It takes time to adapt from coloured buttons to monochrome, but it's ultimately a change for the better.Yet at some point during my first late night it suddenly clicked, and now I feel like it would be a real step backwards to ever return to the old five-button design. At speed, it was tough for me to distinguish one black button from another, and hopping back and forth between the two rows almost always ended in me fumbling the transition and killing my multiplier. As someone who’s been playing GH games since banging out those first few power chords of I Love Rock and Roll in the original, I initially struggled to get to grips with the new button layout. Developer FreeStyle Games has refreshed the Guitar Hero experience considerably by adding a sixth button and splitting the frets into two rows: three black buttons, and three white. Peripheral VisionIt all starts with that new controller. The sum total is a largely enjoyable return to the stage for the series that once started a music game revolution. This daring new streaming service works in tandem with a substantially redesigned guitar controller to compensate for a disappointing career mode and underdeveloped local multiplayer. Are you ready to rock? Well you’d better be, because Guitar Hero Live practically insists that you remain glued to the fretboard 24/7 with its addictive, always-on GHTV mode. On the left, Expo Go loads the project currently in development.There are slight differences in the splash screen behavior between these environments. Your app can be opened from the Expo Go or in a standalone app, and it can be either published or in development. To achieve this, use different resolutions for different device DPIs such as from mdpi to xxxhdpi. It's up to you to provide graphics that meet your expectations and fit the screen dimension. By default splash.image would be used as the xxxdpi resource.

Mr jones graveyard shift game4/8/2024 There are 4 power-ups: Slow Time, Shield, Mushroom Magnet and Infinite Mushrooms. You fight against 10 waves of enemies in the first. We have 2 game modes: Waved and Survival. Whereas, liches throw you stones and they are much stronger than normal ghosts. Normal ghosts are melee attackers, they use claws. There are 2 types of enemies: Normal ghosts and liches. For example, you deal more damage to a Fire ghost if you prepare a bomb with Water mushrooms. Your enemies also have elements enemy’s element and the elements of your mushroom-bomb determine the damage you deal. You create bombs with those elemental mushrooms (2 Fire, 1 Water, for example) using number keys 1 to 5. Your ammo is elemental mushrooms, there are 5 different elements of mushrooms those you collect from the ground. Your purpose is to re-kill the undead! Your only friends are mushrooms, those you use to make mushroom bombs. They revolt, because too many graves are dug in the graveyard, whose keeper is you. The visuals look great and I will sure give this a try later on. You are fighting against restless ghosts and liches.

However, upgrading of the rigid pavement models had to wait for completion of the rigid pavement full-scale tests at the NAPTF. Flexible pavement full-scale tests with 4- and 6-wheel gears were conducted in 19, and the results of these tests were then used to update the flexible pavement failure models in LEDFAA version 1.3, which was released in 2004. Full-scale testing of both rigid and flexible pavements was conducted at the National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF), which opened in 1999. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, began the task of upgrading LEDFAA 1.2 and developing the FAArfield program. The FAA’s Airport Technology R&D Branch, located at the William J. After considering a number of alternatives, it was determined that a three-dimensional finite element model (3D-FEM) would provide the best solution for design of rigid pavements and overlays. In LEDFAA 1.2, workarounds were devised to approximate the critical edge stresses in rigid pavements, but these were unsatisfactory for arbitrary gear loads. Since the critical stresses in rigid pavements generally arise at joints and slab edges, this is a significant drawback in rigid pavement design. However, the basic assumptions of LEA make it incapable of computing stresses in jointed structures. LEDFAA’s structural model makes use of layered elastic analysis (LEA) for all types of pavement structures. Therefore, a new set of full-scale tests, involving 4- and 6-wheel gears and pavements constructed to current FAA standards, was needed. However, the failure models embedded in LEDFAA 1.2 were significantly out of date, being based on full-scale traffic tests conducted by the USACOE that ended in the early 1970’s. LEDFAA is a mechanistic-empirical design procedure in which computed responses are related to pavement life predictions through empirical failure models. The major problems with LEDFAA 1.2 fell into two areas: LEDNEW was adapted to meet FAA requirements and released as LEDFAA version 1.2 in 1995.Įven though LEDFAA 1.2 provided a short-term solution for pavement designs involving 6-wheel gears, it was recognised that a significant R&D effort was needed to develop a computer-based method that would be able to handle complex gear configurations for new large aircraft, and would fully replace the design nomographs for the existing fleet. LEDNEW, a computer-based design procedure involving layered elastic computation of stresses and strains, was originally developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). Fortunately, an alternative procedure was available. At the time, it was recognised that design nomographs for the unique 6-wheel gear did not exist, and moreover, that the extension of the underlying design method (in particular the CBR equation with alpha factor) to 6-wheel configurations and higher might not be correct. The FAA’s transition to computer-based design procedures has been gradual, and was originally driven by the introduction of 6-wheel aircraft gears in the 1990’s, as represented by the Boeing B777. The revised AC will make FAArfield the FAA’s standard thickness design procedure for both rigid and flexible pavements, including overlays, and will retire the FAA nomograph-based design procedures. In addition to putting the finishing touches on the FAArfield software, the FAA is also substantially rewriting the Advisory Circular (AC) covering Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation (AC 150/5320-6D). The new program is called FAA Rigid and Flexible Iterative Elastic Layered Design, but is known by its acronym, FAArfield. After a 10-year research and development effort, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is set to debut a new software package for airport pavement thickness design.
