![]() ![]() "Having this kind of awareness that that's an issue can be a lifesaver." "As the threat of heat continues to rise, people become more aware that heat is an issue and life threatening and it affects different people differently," Williams said. Joey Williams, the project manager for CAPA Heat Watch, said heat mapping started to help people learn about where extreme heat impacts their lives, and to help cities come up with strategies to address it. Since 2017, NOAA has funded the Climate Adaptation Planning and Analytics Heat Watch program (CAPA) to help organize and provide the equipment and results to over 60 communities across the U.S. "What we're seeing right now in the Myriad Gardens is a great example of a potential cooling strategy for urban heat islands," she said.Ĭooling strategies can come from understanding the hottest parts of urban areas. Thermal imaging put the sidewalk at 93 degrees while tree shade was at 85 degrees. The prairie habitat at the Myriad Botanical Gardens in Oklahoma City, for example, had cooler temperatures than the concrete that makes up the core of the city. Terry-Cobo walked around downtown Oklahoma City that rainy, humid August day capturing thermal images on her phone. Trees don't always provide enough cooling because heat gets trapped in roofs, roads, and sidewalks creating what's called the urban heat island effect. Volunteers then drive a route to collect temperature and air quality data. KOSU Air quality and heat mapping devices are attached to cars. ![]() ![]() "And that, you know, is still pretty hot compared to some of these other neighborhoods that we were expecting to be very hot." "A more affluent area like Mesta Park has a lot of older tree canopy that's intact," Terry-Cobo said. She was surprised to find out that Mesta Park – with its large sycamore and oak trees that tower over houses – was one of the hottest areas in Oklahoma City. ![]() Sarah Terry-Cobo, associate planner for Oklahoma City's Office of Sustainability, led last year's heat mapping efforts. The data from the sensors last summer showed that downtown Oklahoma City was 15 degrees hotter than the outer edges of the city, like neighborhoods near Lake Stanley-Draper in the southeast. "If we want to take a deeper look for the heat stress like in our communities, community-based is the most appropriate way to understand the heat stress better," Li said. Hongwan Li, an assistant professor in the College of Public Health at the University of Oklahoma, researches air quality and helped collect data last summer. Understanding where heat pockets persist in communities is the first step to cooling those places down - and protecting residents from heat illness. Those citizen scientists attached air quality and heat monitoring sensors to their cars to take air and temperature readings of the hottest neighborhoods in Oklahoma City on an August day last year. Oklahoma City's Office of Sustainability, in partnership with the University of Oklahoma, and other environmental organizations, recruited volunteers to act as "citizen scientists" to help researchers gather key data. Last year, Oklahoma City joined 14 other cities in a national project through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to map where heat lingers in neighborhoods. Communities like Oklahoma City are now preparing for a future with extreme temperatures by understanding which areas are the hottest. Climate change, driven primarily by burning fossil fuels, pushed temperatures so high last year that scientists were astounded when 2023 became the hottest year on record. ![]()

![]() ![]() This will set him off, wasting his rocket, without you having to spend an extra bird by doing so. ![]() ![]() This pig can only move once, so you can exploit that by firing a bird near the pig while hitting something else entirely. When a bird comes near, this pig flies out of danger, then slowly descends with a parachute. ![]() Even if it doesn’t, it’s usually really easy to aim your bird so it pops the balloon on the way to the desired building anyway. Very often, the balloon will pop on it’s own. But, if he does end up inflating it, just wait around for a bit. The pig usually takes a long time to inflate the balloon, so you have plenty of time to clear the level anyway. This pig will inflate a balloon at a random time, then fly into a high area. If done incorrectly, they could possibly cost you an extra or several unnecessary birds to beat the level. If done correctly, it would almost be like they weren’t there at all. The difficulty of these pigs mostly depend on how you approach them. Mobility Pigs are pigs that have the ability to change their location. Tip for Swimmer Pig: Despite the pig’s shape, he is still round and will roll just as well as any other pig. If you have to shoot a bird directly in the water to pop the pig, try to aim it in a way that the bird can shoot back up and hit the real target building in the process. Stone will sink, but blocks that float may not go deep enough to hit Scuba Pigs that are farther down, which will then create a barrier and make the pig even harder to pop. The best approach to take would be to make a tower fall on their head, as the spread of blocks will cover a very wide area, almost guaranteeing a hit.Īlso, be careful if those blocks are wood or ice. The only time these pigs are a threat is when they’re in water, which is typically away from the buildings you’re trying to hit. Unlike other pigs that pop in water, Scuba Pig can breath underwater, and Swimmer Pig will float. Because of this, you want to attack the pig head-on, and avoid destroying or tipping over the building underneath the pig before attacking the pig itself, because the pig would almost always survive. This pig always spawns on top of buildings. When caught in the air, this pig will gently float down. Prepared for the incoming attacks, this pig can sustain more damage than other pigs. This is actually a separate enemy called the “Pig Tower”, which has more overall balance than other pigs. Tip: As seen in the screenshot above, these pigs will sometimes appear stacked, but only in gravity themed levels starting from the Hamazonas (741+). No need to worry about them ruining your chances of beating the level. These pigs are almost effortlessly easy to defeat. These are pigs that really don’t do anything, but have a small passive ability that helps them in the environment. When this happens, they won’t notice if a bird is approaching them, and won’t activate their ability either. This includes what they do, where they’re located, and how to beat them.Īs a quick tip to start you off, remember how pigs will sometimes fall asleep. In this guide, I’ll explain just about all of the information and strategy regarding the pigs of AB2 that I’ve learned from playing since the day it came out worldwide. There are many different kinds of pigs in Angry Birds 2, each with their own special ability to make popping them that much more difficult. ![]() ![]() He says he will continue to dog Frank for the next seven years if necessary to prevent him from collecting the insurance money.

Kettle, comes to ask Frank some questions following Mildred’s “disappearance” or presumed death. ![]() When he finally opens the door, he is perspiring and a bit dirty which is at odds with the explanation he gives Lucy for why it took him five minutes to answer the door (that he was napping).Ī man with the life insurance company, Mr. Frank parks his car down the street and in his haste to rush around the back, trips and falls onto the lawn. Frank has to rush home to meet Lucy and he is late arriving and Lucy is already at the door. Their cover story for her disappearance is that Mildred will be taking a bus to visit her sister Lucy when what will really happen at that time is Frank driving her to her new apartment but the plan is nearly foiled when they find out that Lucy is coming to their house to pick Mildred up instead. The whole thing seems an unlikely, preposterous scenario yet within minutes they both fully embrace it. She will move into an apartment under an assumed name, alter her appearance a bit, get a job, they will meet secretly for “dates” from time to time and then presumably after the seven years are up, she will come out of the shadows. Over dinner, Frank and Mildred at first jokingly hit upon the idea of collecting life insurance as a solution to their financial woes and after an all-too-brief conversion, commit themselves to the following plan: Mildred will “go missing” for seven years until she can be declared legally dead and Frank can collect on a $25,000 life insurance policy. It’s been difficult holding down a job long-term and the good news he brings home of a new job offer as a salesman is tempered by the fact that the pay is commission-based and it doesn’t begin for a month. ![]() In his mid-fifties, Frank Partridge hopes for some financial security for himself and his wife, Mildred.

The Times Square Ball is a time ball located in New York Citys Times Square.Located on the roof of One Times Square, the ball is a prominent part of a New Years Eve celebration in Times Square commonly referred to as the ball drop, where the ball descends down a specially designed flagpole, beginning at 11:59:00 p.m. According to ABC, New York has set a new state record for daily positive cases about six times in the past week. More than 22,000 of those cases came from New York City alone. The new guidelines come shortly after 38,835 positive tests were reported throughout the state in one day on Thursday, Dec. The 2021 Times Square New Year’s Eve ball drop will have a crowd limit of 15,000 people. New York City is cutting back on its famous celebration amid a recent surge in COVID-19 infections. In a statement shortly after the court ruling, the Democratic members - who had solicited written input in the months before the case was decided - noted they have already heard from 630 speakers and gathered 2,100 written submissions when the process started in 2021.If you’ve been planning to attend the New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square, you may want to rethink it. “Things have definitely changed, and relying on comments that were directed to the old maps doesn’t really give you much insight to what’s needed in the current situation.”īut the court’s December decision included a footnote saying the commission is not required to “conduct any solicitation of public commentary beyond what it has done previously.”Ĭommissioners are not planning to go beyond this. ![]() “The hearings were two years ago,” Lerner said. One thing seems unlikely to happen: There’s very little chance at this point that there will be more public hearings to solicit feedback on the lines. “We have not had any discussions on that, but I suspect we will be having them in short order,” said state Senate Elections Chair Zellnor Myrie (D-Brooklyn). Legislators are hopeful the process will kick into higher gear soon, but acknowledge the possibility that there might need to be some changes to the election calendar or petitioning rules if it doesn’t. The people who live in congressional districts deserve a say in who will represent them.” “Conducting business behind closed doors is unacceptable,” Common Cause New York executive director Susan Lerner said. So whatever is happening with on the lines at this point is not happening publicly, much to the consternation of some redistricting reform advocates. The primaries were pushed from June to August.

To calculate maximum rafter spans using different design criteria (load, snow load, spacing, grade, etc.) for these common lumber species, see the International Residential Code (IRC). The span values (displayed above) are from the American Softwood Lumber standard sizes.

Note: Snow load factors can be specific to the regional location of a structure. Rafter Span Tables Rafters with ceiling not attached to rafters, live load = 20 Psf, dead load = 20 Psf, deflection limit L/180 The braces need to be supported by a bearing wall, shown in the diagram above.Įxample: In the rafter span table below, the highlighted cell (13-0) indicates that a 2" x 8" Douglas Fir rafter, with a grade of #2, spaced 24" apart, can have a maximum span of 13 feet - 0 inches (13-0) if designed for a live load of 20 Psf, and dead load of 20 Psf. ![]() ![]() Note also that you can break up the span of a rafter by adding a purlin and bracing to the underside.

If your car is fine then I would suggest it was under-filled when prepared for you. Only when venting Note: Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap during the venting. Two litres of coolant is a massive amount to loose. Fill coolant expansion tank up to lower edge of filler neck with. So if I were you I would take it back to the dealer and demand a pressure test of the cooling system and inspect the oil to ensure it is nice and clean with no "milkiness" to it. So there should not be an issue with the car overheating and spewing excess coolant out of the escape valve when it gets hot. And it is well known that the X3 has an operating temperature of around 103 C which is 5 to 10 C hotter than usual, however the coolant added to the water is designed to raise the boiling point as well as the pressurising of the coolant itself raising the boiling point.
