It is our hope that students will be able to take our example of the rock pocket mouse and apply it to other areas where similar phenomena have occurred (Arizona, Hawaii, etc.) as well as to other species in the same area (lizards, snakes, etc.). Each topic will have a two-page layout: one page will have the text (minimal) and information, while the opposite page has an animation showing the information. We wants students to ask: how did external pressures lead to the different coat colorations? What underlying genetic factors contributed to this? Our module will display this information in an e-book. ![]() This film uses the rock pocket mouse as a living example of Darwin’s process of natural selection. Also, we will show the differences in gene expression that manifest in the dark coat coloration. Most rock pocket mouse populations have sandy-colored fur, which is consistent with the light color of the desert rocks. This activity explores physical and genetic evolutionary changes in rock pocket mouse populations, as discussed in the short film The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and Adaptation. We will show how lava flow interrupting the natural habitat could lead to selective predation, which would result in dark coats dominating on the lava flow. Through the use of animation, students will be able to visualize not only the external phenomena that lead to differing coat colors, but the internal phenomena as well. Project Description: The goal of our dispersion module is to allow students to interactively explore the processes behind the evolution of varying coat coloration in rock pocket mice.

![]() Maybe a Christmas tree around December time or some tacky electric lights a la Warcraft 2?ħ.) Scenery on the maps - I love the snow, that's really a nice touch. Maybe something could be implemented for messing up the tavern and testing the player's skills of crisis management?Ħ.) Festivals - Easter Eggs like Easter/Christmas/Divali/Whatever would be a nice touch. Theme hospital used earthquakes to disrupt the smooth running of the hospital. 'Jack the Giant Slayer' or 'Dragon Breath' etc.ĥ.) Accidents - Fires/earthquakes/trees falling/snowstorm/attack by giants etc. Would it be possible to have some pub games where guests can interact with each other? I like the idea of playing cards round a table.ģ.) Fantasy guests - This tavern boasts about the guests killing dragons and goblins etc, how great would it be to have a goblin rock up and order a beer? Or some other fancy character like an elf, orc, troll or dwarf? We should be all about equal rights after all! I really feel something like this should be implemented because the game advertises itself as part of the High Fantasy genre, how can it be High Fantasy without any of the more popular non-human characters making an apperance?Ĥ.) Mixing drinks - There's a research option for making better meals, but how about researching better drinks? They could have stupid/funny names too like some ales you get in bars. I feel the game is missing out a lot when you only have male guests.Ģ.) Pub games - Cards, darts, throwing axes at a board. Where's the other side of humanity? Naturally as a kids' based game this doesn't have to be overly sexual, but a few local girls visiting the tavern or some warrioresses in the Xena style wouldn't go amiss. I know this is set as High Fantasy but I figure there's no harm in throwing in a few Mediaeval ideas.ġ.) Woman - Where's the women? Any tavern should have a few buxom wenches cutting about, but so far there's only the tavern maidens. In my day job I deliver History workshops and I work in a museum, I also have a History degree so History is my general background. I've just completed the game so thought I'd add my 2c. and maybe (not really that important) have the people you hire appear a bit dif, like other clothing color or hair color/style would already change a lot. But I'd also love to see more jobs available in your tavern. Other than that I'm sure you have enough ideas yourself and I have enough as well for a game like this but in the end you are the creator. Also maybe add (for future reference) some events that could happen. the security suggestion was already mentioned so i'll leave that for what it is. something that could give you an edge on other taverns. maybe implement a quest mode where you can send/hire adventurers to go for quests for things to add to your tavern. maybe you could implement a price option where each block is so much so people cant cheat the game into making very cheap new rooms. as I just mentioned, map creator option so people can create their own maps. but it would be fun like in most tycoon games to have the option to play free mode with pre-made maps by you or if you create the option in game a map creator. Free play mode, not sure if you were planning this. Well since this suggestion thread was made already, mine are: Other Thing I found a glitch, I you remove a table and a customer was sitting there, he will stuck or fly very slowly to another table if there is one. This is a Old School and very fun game, definitive I will be playing more frequently and waiting for new updates. The option to rotrate the camera and Invisible walls (like Hawke suggest). It will be nice to have more funny sounds and better background music ( I think Celtic Music is better). Security, to throw out drunkers and stop fight (you don't want this drunkers broke you furniture and needed to buy again). Day and Night ambient and the option to buy candles for the interior. Better description for the Zone and Furniture on how many square of construction needed for better design. Because this game is on Early stage, I will make a few suggestions to improve this fun game and I invite to every one to put your ideas here, it's better for DEV to check only one place instead for looking all forum for that. ![]() As a result, helium is the tiniest element, while francium is the most massive. The atomic radius rises from top to bottom in a group and decreases from left to right across a period, as shown in the figures below. The atomic radii of the various elements vary in a repeating pattern across the periodic table. What element has the largest atomic radius? Because of the nuclear charge, the atomic radius decreases from left to right. ![]() Helium is the lightest noble gas, with an atomic radius of 0.000393584 nm. Which is the noble gas with smallest atomic radius? The subtlety here is that this trend does not always hold perfectly true, especially for the noble gases. This is because the electron clouds become bigger and more diffuse, leading to a greater atomic radius. Do atoms get bigger as you go down a group?Ītoms generally get larger as you go down a group. This is due to trends in the periodic table, as well as a strong nuclear charge that keeps the valence electrons close to the nucleus. The atomic radius of helium is the smallest. As a consequence, the period when noble gases reign supreme is lasting. As a result of this, the vanderwaals radius is always greater than the covalent radius. Why do noble gases have larger atomic radii? Since they have completely full octets, electron-electron repulsion is greater in them. Do noble gases have the largest atomic radius? The reason for this is that these atoms have very little interatomic interactions because they have complete valence shells. The radius of a noble gas atom is generally small. The idea behind this is that noble gases have little chemical activity and thus their atomic radii are not joined. As a result, only Van der Waals radius is measured. Noble gases are considered to be non-bonding and non-forming. The reason that noble gases have the smallest atomic radius is because they are at the end of the periodic table. ![]() Why do noble gases have the smallest atomic radius? However, there are some exceptions such as Francium, which is the largest element due to its high number of electrons. This is due to the fact that nuclear radii decrease down a period and increase in a group, which is why Noble gases are the final group and HELIUM, being the top element, has the greatest atomic radius among noble gases. Noble gases have the smallest atomic radius of all HELIUM. ![]() ![]() Proverbs 19:1 1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.Proverbs 28:6 6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting!

They”re all a battle.”Īfter this battle was all over, Tanner put his arms around a couple of players and took a victory leap into the Avery waters, along with the rest of the team. “To be able to do this with this group in front of our alums and the team”s fellow students makes it really special,” Tanner said. It had to be near the top because it was in the Cardinal”s home pool. While the ending was rare for any water polo match, Tanner wouldn”t go as far to say this was his favorite of the five championships. The game was as good as it gets as far as excitement, played in front of a soldout Avery AC. Many of his former players were in attendance on Sunday, cheering on the Cardinal. “He, probably, knows every alumni at Stanford”s women”s water polo,” said Steffens of Tanner. And Tanner has the “it factor” with his former players, a huge plus. Not all great players make great coaches, but Tanner has more than proven himself. By the time he was a senior, he was an All-American, winning three NCAA titles during his stay at Stanford under Dante Dettamanti. John Tanner, recruited to swim at Stanford, chose to play water polo, instead. His father, Ted, was a member of Stanford”s 1952 Rose Bowl team, known as the “How Boys.” That establishes the trust you need when you are in the water.” We can go to him with all of our problems. One of the greatest things he does is allow us to be ourselves and mature, in and out of the water. “We wouldn”t be the women we are today without him. “JT talks about our leadership, but it comes from him,” Steffens said. Tanner wasn”t the loudest screamer of all the coaches at Avery this past weekend, picking his spots, accordingly. If he hasn”t already, it is time for Tanner, a 1978 alum of Menlo-Atherton High, to get his due as a member of the pantheon of elite coaches at Stanford. He won his first NCAA title in 2002, the Cardinal appearing in the national championship game eight times during his tenure. From 2011 to 2014, Tanner”s Cardinal was a dominating 134-10. There is no doubting Tanner”s ability to reload. Two talented seniors, 2-meter Ashley Grossman and Neushul, were named first-team all-tournament and will be sorely missed. It will be tougher without junior All-American Maggie Steffens, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Year and tourney MVP, who will take a year off to compete for the U.S. That is a mini-dynasty, in the least, and there is nothing stopping the Cardinal from a three-peat next year. With the insane 7-6 victory, the Cardinal had won its fourth NCAA crown jewel in the past five years. Kiley Neushul”s penalty shot went lower-right shelf, skipping away from Bruins All-American goalie Sami Hill. The number was symbolic in that an unintentional gaffe by Bruins coach Brandon Brooks, who had blown the timeout horn without the Bruins having possession of the ball, was about to give Tanner his fifth national title. The infraction called for a 5-meter penalty shot for the Cardinal with the game knotted 6-6. It was the waning seconds of the NCAA championship at Avery Aquatic Center and Tanner was inferring to an infraction by UCLA with 11 seconds to play. Stanford women”s water polo coach John Tanner spread his right hand out Sunday evening, signifying the No. ![]() This makes it as durable as it is efficient. The multi-tool is made of stainless steel with a black 3CR13 finish. It is made unique by a number of factors, the first being its construction. The SOG multi-tool is one of the most outstanding multi-tools available. Additionally, it is quite inexpensive and has a limited lifetime warranty. The Gerber Shard, therefore, has great quality, and its functionality is also perfect for its features. The titanium nitride coating also makes the multi-tool resistant to corrosion. The Gerber multi-tool is also very durable as it is made from stainless steel that is coated with a single piece of titanium to ensure that it remains light and easy to carry. The small 2.8-inch size lets you easily carry it on your keychain. This tool can be used as a wire stripper, as dual screwdriver trips, a pry bar, and both a box and bottle opener among other functions. The Gerber multi-tool is very unique because, with a size of less than three inches, this multi-tool has seven functions that can be successfully performed using it. It is 2.75 inches in size and is, of course, TSA-approved. Its grip is quite strong and it has a glass-filled nylon handle for more stability. It is corrosion resistant and you can therefore use it during your outdoor hiking and camping trips. The Kershaw multi-tool is made of stainless steel, making it very durable and efficient. It has multiple functions, which include a bottle and box opener, a flathead screwdriver, and a pry bar. ![]() You can carry it in a bag, purse, in your pocket, and you can also attach it to your backpack. It is not conspicuous as it has a very simple design. The Kershaw multi-tool is one of the simplest multi-tools available. It also has a streamlined design that makes it easy to carry and remove from its position. A carabiner clip is also available on this tool to enable you to stick it to your bag, belt, or any other hook. It is also very durable, able to withstand any bumps that it goes through every day. The Doohickey multi-tool is only 2.5 inches in size. The multi-tool can be a bottle opener, a screwdriver with a flathead, a file, and even a serrated edge, which makes it a great tool for opening packages. The most interesting feature of the Nite lze keychain multi-tool is the fact that, even if it is very small in size, this multi-tool can be used in five ways. The small size also enhances the reliability of the multi-tool, as you can carry it with you everywhere, whether you are traveling or not. With its stainless steel material, the Doohickey keychain model resembles a house key and, with its size, it is small enough to fit on any keychain, no matter how crowded the keychain is. Of all the multi-tools out there, the Doohickey Multi-Tool has been proven to be the most compact and travel-friendly. ![]() With 'Allah on their side' and justice on their mind, they have formed the Muslim Women's Rights Network, a coalition of 25 women's organisations, challenging Muslim orthodoxy as never before.

While there is no doubt consumers now see social media as an easy and effective way to “bag out brands”, getting too bogged down in negativity takes energy and is less likely to make other customers engage with you, Pollard suggests. “ I really do think that it’s about asking ‘how do we want our brand to be seen online?'” she says. Use it as a learning experience,” she suggests.Įven when consumers are asking you to go above and beyond what is reasonable, there is always an opportunity to deliver on these demands while also pointing out this means you are going “above and beyond” what you should be in the name of service. “ I think you can certainly use humour in circumstances like this, but I think that it’s actually an opportunity to take the high ground. The temptation to “tell off” a demanding customer online is real, says Pollard, but business owners should do everything they can to act with grace even if they know they are in the right. Don’t tell people off, take the high ground “You’ve got to remember that whatever you put down, other customers will be seeing that as well,” Pollard says. ![]() However, there is a way of doing it,” she says, highlighting that the temptation to “lash out” rarely gets businesses anywhere. Chief Executive Officer Ray Ferris said Thursday. US builders get more than a quarter of their lumber from Canada, the world’s largest softwood lumber exporter. “ I absolutely think it’s important for a brand to establish how they expect their customers to behave online. The US raised rates on imports in 2021 even as an unprecedented rally lifted prices to record highs during a pandemic-fueled homebuilding and renovation boom. However, there is a difference between calling out a consumer for their potentially bigoted behaviour and responding to unreasonable customer demands online, says social media expert Catriona Pollard. Last year, staff at Gloria Jeans posted social media support of a staff member after a customer received racist comments at work, while back in 2015, a customer review for Gelato Messina that described an employee as a “fat Asian bitch” prompted the gelato business to respond by saying they should be “absolutely ashamed”. This is far from the first time a business owner has hit back at a customer over their actions. The restaurateur finished the letter with a W.B. “Jaysus, it’s roasting in your spot boi!!

"Pablo was earning so much that each year we would write off 10% of the money because the rats would eat it in storage or it would be damaged by water or lost," Escobar's brother Roberto wrote in a 2009 book.Įscobar's illicit empire attracted the attention of the Colombian government, which attempted to shut down his operations. These acts of charity won him popular support and bolstered his image as a man of the people. Even though he did horrible things that killed thousands of people, many people saw him as a modern-day “Robin Hood.” About 25,000 people attended his funeral.He spent lavishly on himself and his family and was a patron of local causes, building apartments and soccer fields and handing out cash to the poor. Escobar was killed on the roofs of Medellin 12 years after the picture was taken.Įscobar’s legacy is highly controversial. Later, he bombed the DAS building and Avianca Flight 203. He planned the M-19 attack on the Palace of Justice that killed half of Colombia’s highest court. Escobar fought back when he was forced out of the office and tried to be arrested. The government didn’t want to turn into a drug state, so it finally started to fight back. He gave money to the poor and built football fields. He was very well-known at the time, especially in Medellin. In the 1982 parliamentary election, Escobar won a seat as a member of the New Liberalism movement, which was a branch of the Colombian Liberal Party. You could usually take a picture like this in front of a much taller fence. The area is closed right now, all the way through Lafayette Park. The picture was captured in front of the North Portico of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue. People think he used a diplomatic passport or fake passports to get to the country. Even though the War on Drugs hadn’t reached its peak, the FBI and CIA likely knew who he was. This doesn’t mean that the United States didn’t know about him. In 1981, Escobar tried making himself seem more “legitimate.” He was on the city council of Medellin and planned to run for office. The documentary tells the story of Escobar’s life from the point of view of his only son, Sebastian Marroquin, who used to be called Juan Pablo Escobar. It was first shown in the HBO documentary “Sins of My Father” in 2010. ![]() Around the middle of the 1970s, he started using cocaine, and the rest is history.Įscobar’s wife, Maria Victoria, took the picture. Eventually, he started stealing cars and smuggling drugs. He sold fake diplomas and made fake report cards. The cartel was making so much money that about $2.1 billion a year went to waste.Įscobar was born in 1949 to a farmer and a teacher. At its highest point, it made about $420 million a week, and Escobar was worth $25 billion. From 1976 to 1993, he was in charge of the Medellin cartel. Pablo Escobar is probably the most well-known drug lord in world history. How Did Pablo Escobar Strike a Pose in Front of the White House? During the same trip, Escobar took his family to Disneyland. People think the picture is from around 1981, but no one knows. Juan Pablo Escobar, his only son, is standing next to him. This famous picture shows Pablo Escobar, a Colombian drug lord, in front of the White House. On his computer, he has pictures of Escobar that no one has ever seen before. “Pablo didn’t even notice,” says Edgar Jiménez, who was the famous drug dealer Pablo Escobar’s photographer. It’s one of the few, if not the only, picture of him looking worried. His life has also been used as a source of ideas or dramatized in many movies, TV shows, and songs. His private property, Hacienda Nápoles, has also been turned into a theme park. His death was sad, and more than 25,000 people attended his funeral. Many people say that his crimes were horrible, but many people in Colombia saw him as a “Robin Hood” figure because he helped the poor in many ways. This led to massacres and the deaths of police officers, judges, locals, and influential politicians, making Colombia the murder capital of the world.Įscobar’s legacy is still controversial. By the 1980s, it was thought that Escobar brought 70 to 80 tons of cocaine from Colombia into the country every month.Īs a result, he quickly became one of the wealthiest people in the world, but he was always fighting with rival cartels at home and abroad. increased the demand for cocaine significantly. In 1976, Escobar started the Medellin Cartel, which sold powder cocaine and set up the first routes for bringing drugs into the U.S. Its opening means some general re-imagining for Tomorrowland as well (including some changes that have already taken place) in order to match the Tron Lightcycle theme.

But if you’re looking for exciting changes, nothing beats what Disney has in store for Epcot as they continue to celebrate Disney World’s 50th anniversary as well as Epcot’s 40th anniversary in 2022. Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will be fairly quiet when it comes to construction (with the exception of the Tron roller coaster construction in Magic Kingdom). And believe it or not, there are still new attractions and restaurants on the horizon for that park in 2022 and beyond. The new owners are working with the City to protect the home forever.New things are coming to Walt Disney World, and nothing excites me more than new Disney attractions! And there is SO MUCH coming to Walt Disney World in the next few years! Hollywood Studios has already had its fair share of grand openings these past couple of years with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The Present: After years of neglect, the home is purchased with the intent to restore it to its 1901 state. In 1991, Chicago attempted to designate the property as a historical landmark but the owner fought the designation and won, putting the home at risk of demolition. On February 10, 1906, Elias sold the property to Walter Chamberlain, moving his family to Marceline, Missouri. Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901, on the second floor.Īnd on December 6, 1903, the Disneys welcomed their fifth child, Ruth. Shortly thereafter, their third son, Roy, was born on June 24, 1893. In early 1893, the Disney family settled into their new home with their two sons: Herbert and Raymond. On November 23, 1892, Elias obtained a permit to build a two-story, 18 x 28 foot wood cottage for $800.įlora, Elias’ wife, drew up the architectural plans and Elias built the house. He purchased property on the southwest corner of Tripp Avenue on October 31, 1891. Our dream is that The Walt Disney Birthplace becomes a portal to new approaches in early childhood development and helps to inspire future Walts and Roys.Ī carpenter with a growing family, Elias Disney decided to build a home and put down roots in Chicago. With our team of project advisors, we are formalizing strategies on how we can empower today’s families to nurture and raise the creative thinkers of tomorrow. We are learning how their childhood, family and parents impacted their lives and laid a foundation that nurtured collaboration, creativity, and innovation. It is also an opportunity to research this period of the Disney family history which has sparked a larger vision for the home beyond the restoration.Įach day, we gain new insights into how and why Walt and Roy became the men they were. Our project is about more than just a restoration. ![]() We have already lost too many buildings that were an incredibly important part of Walt Disney’s history.Īnd that is why we have purchased this house and will restore it to its original state, honoring and preserving the home for generations to come. These “renovations” have almost completely covered up the authentic details of the house. Over the last century, the home has changed hands several times and has been added to and altered significantly. Both Walt and Roy were born in this home and lived there until Walt was four and Roy was twelve years old. This house was designed and built by Flora and Elias Disney, Walt and Roy Disney's mother and father. In a quiet residential neighborhood just outside of downtown Chicago, IL, stands a modest family home on the corner of Tripp Avenue and Palmer Street. ![]() He was given the title of the Guard of the Citadel. The Fall of Denethor ![]() Pippin, overlooking Gandalf’s Instructions, pledged to serve the Steward in return for Boromir’s sacrifice to save his life. There, they met with Denethor II, who was the Steward in charge of Gondor, and the father of the deceased, Boromir. To defend the realms and fight against the brutal forces of Sauron, Gandalf and Pippin rode on the white horse, Shadowfax, to Gondor. And in an attempt to reacquire the ring, he pursued the halfling. The Dark Lord was misled to believe that Pippin was the bearer of the One Ring. The stone was called Palantir, and it was thrown at him by Grima Wormtongue when he was in Orthanc. How did Pippin become the Guard of the Citadel?Pippin came face to face with the Dark Lord Sauron when he picked up a stone to look at it. Pippin and Merry were reunited with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli after the battle was won. The ents discussed among themselves and decided to march against Isengard. They shared their tales with Treebeard who took them to Entmoot. They came across the Ent Treebeard and made friends with him. The Orcs were distracted in trying to defend themselves, and Pippin and Merry made use of the opportunity to disappear into the Fangorn Forest. Fate took a positive turn when the Rohirrims bushwhacked the company of Uruk-hai. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli were in pursuit of the Uruk-hai at the moment. He dropped the elven brooch, given to him by Lothlorien, in Isengard. Captured and helpless, Pippin did all he could, to leave breadcrumbs of their trail. The Uruk-hai apprehended the two hobbits, thinking that they had the One Ring. When the fellowship broke Boromir, who took the responsibility to protect Pippin and Merry, was killed during the Skirmish at Amon Hen. Gandalf, in anger, called Pippin “Fool of a Took” because of the mistake. This leads to an awakening, and drums start to beat from underneath the ground. Here, we see Pippin accidentally dropping a dead body down a well in Moria. Pippin demonstrates his foolishness when the fellowship took an alternative route through the mines of Moria. It is here, where Elrond permitted Pippin and Merry to join the Fellowship of the Ring, after the Council meeting. The lord of the Elves, Glorfindel, guided the helpless group to Rivendell.
