![]() ![]() Being able to identify calls is particularly important when it comes to owls, however, because their nocturnal habits mean they can be much easier to hear than to see!Īlthough owl calls are now commonly associated with Halloween, their cultural and historical significance extends far beyond a single spooky night. Owls call for many of the same reasons other birds do - to claim and defend territories, to attract mates, and to keep in contact with each other. We've assembled a collection of different owl sounds below to help you better know these fascinating predators of the night.īefore jumping into specific owl calls, though, let's review a few basics. If you've heard owl sounds at night around your neighborhood and are wondering about the caller's identity, you're in the right place. This is Laura Erickson, and this program has been “For the Birds.There's more to owl sounds than just “hoo, hoo.” Each species of owl has its own unique call - sometimes more than one. If you hear a hoot owl, it’s easy to identify it–just remember that the Barred Owl’s strident hoot follows the rhythm, “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?,” the Great Horned Owl’s mellow hoot doesn’t follow any particular rhythm, and the Great Gray Owl’s resonant hoot is in a constant, steady beat. They sometimes nest on man-made platforms. ![]() Great Grays nest in the Northland, especially in boggy areas like the area around Meadowlands. This supreme bird looks enormous, but that’s all fluff–in reality it weighs less than the Snowy or the Great Horned Owl. The only other large owl seen in the Northland is the Great Gray Owl. Snowy Owls are usually silent in winter, but in case you’re wondering what they sound like on their breeding grounds: Adult males are quite white, but females and young birds have varying amounts of dark barring on their bodies, and sometimes dark caps. Snowy Owls are the heaviest of all North American owls. I saw one sitting on a hill of snow on the Minnesota prairie when I went out to East Grand Forks a few weeks ago, but that was my only sighting all season. ![]() Only one individual has been seen in the harbor all winter. Snowy Owls have been very rare in the Northland this year–it sounds like their numbers may be down throughout the United States. The Barred Owl is not named for William Shakespeare, so don’t spell it b-a-r-d: it takes its name from the barring on its upper breast and throat. The Barred Owl has no feather tufts, and has solid brown eyes, compared to the Great Horned Owl’s fierce yellow eyes. ![]() The two owls are easy to tell apart when you see them in the day. It has a strident hoot that follows the rhythm pattern “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?”īarred Owls are smaller than Great Horneds, but if you see a large owl in flight at night, it’s hard to tell which one it is. The Barred Owl is much more often heard than seen. In evening and early morning, their distinctive silhouette can often be seen in the leafless trees along roads-I usually see two or three on the drive between Duluth and the Twin Cities.īarred Owls will soon be calling, too. The easiest way to find a Great Horned Owl in the daytime is to make the neighborhood crows do the looking-listen for their angry caws once they’ve spotted one. It seems like a poor adaptation-because of its distinctive shape, Great Horned Owls are mobbed relentlessly by jays, crows, ravens, and hawks. Although many people call these feather tufts “ears,” their function has nothing to do with hearing. The Great Horned Owl is a huge bird with tufts of feathers on the top of its head giving it a cat-like silhouette. Great Horned Owls are starting to hoot their deep, mellow hoot at night. When March roars in, birders thoughts turn to owls. ![]() ![]() Odysseus is spared but, as forewarned by Circe and Tiresias, is himself punished when his return to Ithaca is delayed by a seven-year sojourn on Ogygia. Odysseus escapes by swimming to Calypso's island. After they set sail, Zeus keeps his word and the ship is destroyed by lightning during a storm and all of his men die. For six days, Odysseus's company feast on the kine of Helios. The skins begin creeping and the flesh bellowing upon the spits, both the roast and raw, and there is a sound like the voice of cattle. Soon the gods show signs and wonders to the Odysseus' men. Zeus promises Helios to smite their ship with a lightning bolt and cleave it in pieces in the midst of the ocean. He threatens that if they do not pay him full atonement for the cattle, he will take the sun to the Underworld and shine it among the dead. Contents 1 Myth 1.1 Early History 1. ![]() He precedes Apollo as the charioteer of the sun. In turn, Helios orders the gods to take vengeance on Odysseus' men. Helios () was the Titan of the sun, light, fire, heat, knowledge and sight, is the and personification of the sun itself. Lampetie tells Helios that Odysseus' men have slain his cattle. But it is too late, the cattle are dead and gone. When Odysseus goes up the island to pray to the gods and ask for help, Eurylochus convinces the crew to drive off the best of the cattle of Helios and sacrifice them to the gods: "if he be somewhat wroth for his cattle with straight horns, and is fain to wreck our ship, and the other gods follow his desire, rather with one gulp at the wave would I cast my life away, than be slowly straitened to death in a desert isle." When he returns to the ship, Odysseus rebukes his companions for disobeying his orders. They are held on the isle for a month by an unfavorable storm sent by Poseidon. When Eurylochus begs to be allowed to land to prepare supper, Odysseus grudgingly agrees on condition that the crew swear that if they come upon a herd of cattle or a great flock of sheep, no one will kill any of them. ![]() Odysseus and his crew arrive at Thrinacia after passing Scylla and Charybdis. Tiresias and Circe both warn Odysseus to shun the isle of Helios (Thrinacia). The cattle were guarded by Helios’ daughters, Phaëthusa and Lampetië, and it was known by all that any harm to any single animal was sure to bring down the wrath of the god. In the Odyssey, Homer describes these immortal cattle as handsome ( ἄριστος), wide-browed ( εὐρυμέτωπος), fat, and straight-horned ( ὀρθόκραιρος). Helios, who in Greek mythology is the god of the Sun, is said to have had seven herds of oxen and seven flocks of sheep, each numbering fifty head. In Greek mythology, the Cattle of Helios ( Greek: Ἠελίοιο βόες, Ēelíoio bóes ), also called the Oxen of the Sun, are cattle pastured on the island of Thrinacia (sometimes identified with Sicily). For the episode in James Joyce's novel Ulysses, see Oxen of the Sun (Ulysses episode). ![]() ![]() Some applicants may receive a higher or lower regular annual rate depending on a credit evaluation.

He waited under her peach tree, "squeezing peaches." He never completed the confession. He had made up his mind to tell her, but when he showed up at her house, she wasn't there. Simon from Chattanooga, TnThe writer of the song said that he was waiting for a girl to confess his feelings to under a peach tree in her back yard.And, she never did find out how he felt about her! (As said on the VH1's "100 Greatest's Songs of the 90's") He was humming the tune and writing lyrics that would later become this song. Instead, he sat under the tree waiting for her to come home, squishing the peaches on the ground. He got up the courage to go over to her house and tell her how he felt about her.

HEALTHFUL – Unlike hot air systems, radiant heat will not dry out your breathing passages and leave them more vulnerable to infection. Energy experts calculate that you can easily save 25% of your heating costs with a radiant heating system This lower air temperature will save you money on your energy bills.ĮCONOMICAL – Studies conducted by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) indicate that with radiant heating systems people can be comfortable at temperatures 6☏ to 8☏ lower than with hot air systems. ![]() You are more comfortable at a lower air temperature. When you receive a greater amount of radiant energy, you will be equally comfortable at a lower air temperature.ĮFFICIENT – It’s like being out in the sunshine. Plastic tubing is flexible, so it is easy to install and service, making it more economical to use than other types of piping materials.ĬLEAN – Radiant heating does not blow dirt, dust, bacteria, viruses and pet dander around the house all winter long.ĬOMFORTABLE – The sensation of comfort is caused by a combination of air temperature and radiant energy that equals the body’s energy needs. For example, the advent of extremely durable plastic tubing has made it possible to hydronically heat floors, walls, sidewalks, driveways, and swimming pools. Furthermore, hydronic heating systems are extremely efficient because of design advances in boilers, zoned heating, and the nature of the heating system.Īlthough Americans have used hot water and steam boilers for decades, recent technological advances in boilers and heat distribution systems have spurred an increased demand for hydronic installations. To maximize comfort, each room in a hydronically-heated home can be zoned separately allowing each room or area to be controlled individually. Many homeowners live with rooms that are too hot or too cold. Hydronic heating systems circulate hot water through plastic tubing, baseboards, or radiators to provide gentle, silent, and clean heat. The surface then becomes a radiator, extending the heat in every direction and creating clean, even and comfortable warmth. As a source of radiant heat, a hydronic system warms the surfaces it touches much like the sun’s rays. These pipes transfer heat to the walls or floor of a room, which then radiates heat waves throughout your house. Since water conducts heat more easily than air, less energy is used to spread heat throughout the house.Ī heat source such as a boiler transfers heat through pipes that are connected to wall panels or placed underneath your floor. Hydronic heating works by using the efficient transfer of heat through water. Homeowners are learning from their co-workers, friends, neighbors, and relatives that today’s hydronic heat is draft-free, quiet, clean, efficient and, above all, comfortable. More and more, homeowners are turning to what many consider the most comfortable heating solution, hydronic heating, which utilizes water instead of or in addition to air as the heat transfer medium. A quiet revolution in home heating is sweeping America. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Which, er, won’t come until the time limit’s up. And then, even if you are brutally honest (as indeed am I), you’ll finish the task well ahead of the time limit, and expect your congratulation. So unless you’re brutally honest, there’s no reason to fail. Except, well, the game can be played on pause. The task would be to create six enclosures of varying types, emulating the correct conditions for the particular animals, presumably before time runs out. Say you’ve been given six months to create six enclosures for some rescued animals, shipped over from closing zoos around the world. However, these scenarios are peculiarly flawed. A small amount of imagination has gone into these, following the usual variations on the theme - limited funding, limited animals, etc, more difficult challenges unlocked as you progress. Then secondly there are fifteen scenarios, pre-set challenges to be apparently completed within a certain time limit. Via funding research, new attractions become available, and a more elaborate zoo a possibility. This could be anything from a nice grassy field, to a lake surrounded by jungle, to a volcanic hill. Firstly, a free sandbox mode, in which you begin with the most basic zoo-building elements, and build your park on any of a large selection of land types. In fairness, the majority of this game is spent struggling to lay out fences. Confused? Imagine playing it.Īnd now imagine that the tile cursor is all but the exact same green as the grass, such that it’s mostly impossible to find it.Īnd gets more complicated. And indeed ‘right’ going both right-and-up and right-and-down. Surely no one, ever, would have it be that ‘up’ goes bothdiagonally up-and-right and up-and-left, alternately. ‘up’ goes diagonally up-and-left, ‘right’ goes diagonally right-and-down, and so on. Let’s say there was no touch-screen, and this was your only option - all common sense says: ask the player to assume the D-pad operates at a 45 degree angle. The D-pad, responsible for orchestrating the majority of the control, contrarily would form a +. So if you were to plot North, South, East and West, you’d have an X. The game is displayed from an isometric perspective, all on the diagonal. That’s the only less intuitive control method I can think of than that chosen for Zoo Tycoon DS. Did you play Beyond Good & Evil to the end? That bit where the boss reverses your controls, so to roll to the left, you have to go right, instead of forward, backward? It was painfully confusing. It’s kind of hard to describe this in words, so bear with me. So what possessed anyone to not only fail to take advantage of this, but seemingly go out of their way to make the game as impossible to control as they could? Given the wonder of the DS touch screen - the cleverest idea in non-PC gaming in over four hundred years - finally such games can be portable, unleashed from your desk. It’s why management games are such an awful faff on a console. When played in their natural environment of a PC, obviously the mouse is used to ‘paint’ the scenery onto the screen. A management game, creating and running your own zoo, could be beautifully controlled with the gratifying immediacy of the stylus. Zoo Tycoon DS puts the zoo display on the top screen, and various forms of interface on the bottom - immediately crazy. Got no style 'Concrete chain fences' must be using some sort of futuristic polymer we’ve yet to have heard of. In the interests of science, let’s drop a DS playing Zoo Tycoon from a third storey window, and see what happens. If a chimpanzee falls from a third storey window onto concrete, it will pick itself up, dust itself off, and bound away. They didn’t think of that aforementioned idea. It’s something of a shame that Zoo Tycoon developers Blue Fang respond to this by having been seven times more dense than a chimpanzee. So, I learned today that chimpanzees have a bone density seven times greater than a human. But please, you’re embarrassing me - I’m a modest man. I know, you don’t stumble upon genius like this every day. Pick yourself back up off the floor, dust yourself down, and close your mouth. If you’re going to make a management game on the DS, you could replace the traditional mouse interface with the stylus! Take your phone off the hook, turn down your music, you’re going to want to concentrate. And now, for your viewing entertainment, I’m going to come up with an exceptionally good idea. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Specifically, white privilege must be the translated position of advantage. In light of the preceding, she realized an erroneous omission in the teaching of racism: if some are disadvantaged, a significant corollary must be that another is placed in a position of advantage. She realized that while she was under the dominance of males, she had dominance over other women who were of another ethnic origin, particularly black women.įor McIntosh, racism is taught as something which puts another at a disadvantage. Calling out this unacknowledged male privilege phenomenon, McIntosh knew that since hierarchies in the society of the United States were interlocking, her finding of unattended white privilege might be a key to racism as well. These denials, in essence, protected male privilege from being acknowledged, decreased, or curtailed. Her studies in this field were rooted in findings of men’s unwillingness to acknowledge their over-privileged status, though they would admit the disadvantaged state of women. It is also heartbreaking to notice that their birth announcement portrays a sketch of a white baby they, too, had a hard time finding an appropriate greeting.Īccording to Peggy McIntosh, Associate Director of the Wellesley College Center for Research on Women, “white privilege” is “an invisible package of unearned assets which I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was meant to remain oblivious.” This discovery came as she was preparing a research article concerning male privilege in America. The problem was not in the lack of congratulatory messages, but in the lack of cards which properly identify with our friends. But we had a challenging experience finding the right card. But recently, my wife and I wanted to send a card to dear friends who just had a baby girl. It is easy for me to walk into a stationery store and find a greeting card appropriate for my family or most of my friends. Review: White Privilege: Unpacking The Invisible Knapsack Summary WHITE PRIVILEGE AND MALE PRIVILEGE: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondences Through Work in Women’s Studies (1988) By Peggy McIntosh ![]() ![]() ![]() This gives me a second green light when it's time to make more steam. ![]() Adjust the amount to your steam tank size.Ĥ) One reactor is the master (first one you build). It has an inserter to remove fuel connected to the combinators form 2+3 and set to enable on "green > 1" and "read hand content: hold". The spend fuel cell from the master reactor is only removed if a) every reactor has fuel and b) more steam is needed.ĥ) All inserters inserting fuel are connected to the inserter from 4 and set to "spend fuel > 0". With bots don't forget the "stack override = 1". I think you can use burner inserters safely. Or put the inserters and combinators on a separate power network powered by solar + accu or a separate steam tank + turbine. A single tank will last hours or days when it only has to power a few inserters. The above will already restart a reactor once it was running but will not auto-start when freshly blueprinted. If you want to also auto-start from blueprint you need one more thing on the master reactor:Ħ) Inserter loading fuel into the reactor when "steam = 0".Īfter blueprinting there is no steam yet and no spend fuel cell to trigger fueling the reactor. This inserts fuel into the master reactor loading it full up. ![]() Potentially it overloads it wasting a fuel cell or two. I'm assuming you have an inserter bonus so 2 or more spend fuel cells are taken from the master reactor at a time if it was overloaded to get it back to normal operations. Note: Only the one master reactor is overloaded. All other still only get one fuel cell at a time and only when steam is low. You are probably consuming steam faster than the master reactor can create more so the only waste is some loss of neighbor bonus for a fuel cell or two. Note 2: If the inserters and combinators ever run out of power or if you don't give them their own power network this will restart the reactor after a hard failure too. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not just valued for its historical importance, Battlefield 1942 is a fantastic first person shooter in its own right. Battlefield 1942 is a formative piece of gaming history, in which DICE first took the concept of the hardcore military sim and marketed it to a wider audience. The first, the original and, for many, one of the best. Fan requests saw Conquest added afterwards, but the real strength of Bad Company always remained the single player. Multiplayer was a sticking point too, as the game only shipped with a mode called Gold Rush (a prototype of the new classic Rush mode). Sadly, DICE's lack of experience in crafting a solo campaign was exposed too, with occasionally poor AI and some strange control options marking an otherwise excellent experience. The result was levels of destruction we simply hadn't seen before, and that makes it a landmark game. It was one of the first Battlefield games with a proper story, characters who you enjoy spending time with, and it represents the first use of the now legendary Frostbite engine in the Battlefield series. Shame, because it was the prototype for most things that made the sequel so brilliant. Many fondly remember Bad Company 2, but few talk about the original with quite the same enthusiasm. Battlefield 4 has come a long way since then, but we can't ignore the shadow of its false promises, hence its somewhat diminished position on this list. Sadly, launch day troubles soured public opinion on the game for quite some time, its best qualities blighted by crippled servers and bugs aplenty. PlayStation and Xbox owners could finally appreciate the joyous chaos of 64-player matches, while the Levolution system – in which huge parts of each map could be drastically changed by weather and player activity – is still an impressive addition. While DICE clearly struggled as it worked to release Battlefield 4 on PC and across two console generations, there was a lot to love here. While the campaign is an improvement, it still had plenty of room for improvement – not that you cared all much once you were knees deep into Battlefield 4's upgraded multiplayer options. ![]() With the foundation for a new era of Battlefield outlined by Battlefield 3, DICE's follow-up is essentially more of the same.
