![]() Authentic panama hats are made from the leaves of a palm-like plant known locally as the jipijapa palm. The “panama” moniker came about as many of the hats were shipped to the Isthmus of Panama for transportation by sea to the rest of the world. Panama hats are traditional headgear from Ecuador, and have never been made in volume in Panama. Haiti is one of only two nations in the Americas to have French as an official language, the other being Canada. ![]() The rest of the island is taken up by the Dominican Republic. The Republic of Haiti occupies the smaller, western portion of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. Man first attempted to create a waterway across the Isthmus of Panama in 1881, but the 48-mile long Panama Canal only opened for business in 1914. The isthmus was the result of a land bridge forming between North and South America as two tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust slowly collided. The nation that we now know as Panama sits on an isthmus that formed about 3 million years ago. 32 Like some cross-Caribbean flights? : PANAMA-HAITI (from “panama hat”) Pan’s anger created a “panic” (a word derived from the name “Pan”) and a group of shepherds were driven to kill Echo. Echo refused Pan’s advances so that he became very angry. In Greek mythology, Pan was a lecherous god, one who fell in love with Echo the mountain nymph. The days were named for these “planets” during the Roman era: We have seven days in a week because there are seven classical planets in the Solar System. Pluto’s character was more positive than the god Hades, and he represented a more rewarding afterlife compared to that offered by the darker Hades. Over time, “Hades” came to mean the underworld itself and the name for the god became “Pluto”. ![]() In classical mythology, the god of the underworld was named Hades. What is true is that the bar was invented by a candy maker named Tom Henry, who sold the recipe to Williamson. There is also a story that it was named after a young man named Henry who used to flirt with the female candy makers in the Williamson Candy Company. There doesn’t seem to be a definitive explanation for the name, although it does seem to be a play on the name of the American writer O. Oh Henry! is a candy bar that was introduced in 1920 by the Williamson Candy Company of Chicago. 21 Candy bar with an exclamation point in its name : OH HENRY! For example, the pants worn by belly dancers would be called harem pants. They are loose fitting pants that gather at the ankle. Harem pants are an item of female clothing that originated on the Arabian Peninsula. Examples are the Labradoodle (Labrador retriever and poodle cross), cockapoo (cocker-spaniel and poodle cross), maltipoo (Maltese and poodle cross) and Jack-A-Poo (Jack Russell and poodle cross). Poodle hybrids are sometimes described as “designer dogs”. Famously, one month later, Jones was found dead, at the bottom of his swimming pool. That was the last straw, it seems, and Jones and the Stones parted company. When his trouble with the law prevented him from getting a US work visa, Jones wasn’t able to accompany the Stones on a 1969 US tour. In 1967, Jones was arrested for drug possession, and again in 1968. Jones was the leader, manager and decision maker for the first few years until songs written by Richards and Jagger became hits and he started to lose artistic control. Jones called the band “Rollin’ Stone” back then in 1962, named for the song by Muddy Waters. The band was the idea of guitarist and harmonica player Brian Jones, and it was he who invited Richards and Jagger to join, as well as Ian Stewart, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts to make an original lineup of six band members. ![]() He is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as getting the highest payment for a first starring role, an incredible $5.5 million.Įven though Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have been the driving force behind the Rolling Stones for decades, they didn’t start the group.

![]() The method requires 3 parameters, the object, x and y The method doesn’t return a result (since it’s void return type) Void addObject(Actor object, int x, int y) You can find it by looking up the class documentation for the World class. The addObject method is a method that belongs to the World class. The addObject method, and the new statement which is used to create a crab. That means that the origin point (0,0) is the top left part of the world. That means 150 cells from the left edge of the world and 100 cells down from the top of the world. This will put a new crab at the location x=150, y=100 in the world. Any code put in to the constructor, like to create an actor, will be executed alongside the world creation code. Because this constructor is executed every time a world is created, it can also create our actors automatically. In this example the constructor builds the world to the size we want (560 cells by 560 cells) and a resolution of 1 pixel per cell. It then does what it wants to do to set up this new instance in to a starting state. The name of the constructor is always the same as the name of the class.Ī constructor is a special type of method that is always automatically executed whenever a new instance of this class is executed. While a constructor looks similar to a method there are some differences:Ī constructor has no return type specified between the keyword “public” and the name This part is the constructor of the class. The next part is where we are very interested: After that is the class header, and a comment. You can see the usual import statement in the very first line. Take a look at the source code for CrabWorld. World instances are different from actors, we have to create actors ourselves, but Greenfoot automatically creates one instance of our world class and displays that instance on screen. ![]() The world object, that you see on the screen (that sand-colored square area) is an instance of the CrabWorld class. One thing that does happen every time the scenario is successfully compiled: the world itself is created. Greenfoot should do that automatically, and we will change the source code so it does. The first thing we want to fix is that the crabs, kraken, and worms have to be placed manually in the game. You are welcome to add stuff to it on your own after this though, and you will have a few suggestions on what you might do. There is always more you can do, but we won’t improve it anymore. So I just need a counter that displays the current ammo for Blue, and I should be able to use this for Red later as well.We are going to finish our improvements to the crab game in this unit. ![]() Create a new world with 600x400 cells with a cell size of 1x1 pixels. * Write a description of class MyWorld here.

I have gotten the tanks to stop shooting after 20 shots, but I would like a counter to display this. Hi, I'm making a tank game where each tank only has 20 missiles to shoot. ![]() Thank you again to everyone who's supported Floppy Heroes!īy creating this sequel, I hope to give you guys an even better game, with much more content, shaped by your feedback. Once I've got some tangible content to show off, I'll be sure to create a blog of some sort so you can keep track the sequel's development. Over the last two months, I’ve been working hard getting Floppy Heroes 2 ready for its Early Access release on Steam. The old thread will still serve as place to post bugs and discuss the current game. ![]() He is a retired veteran soldier in the Army. He was voiced by Aubrey Ankrum and later Kenn Navarro. His friends are Flaky, Cuddles, Toothy, Handy, and Giggles. He has been nice, but something goes wrong, Flippys split personality emerges and he becomes a villain. Players can choose from a diverse cast of characters. The game features whimsical, floppy-limbed characters who must navigate a variety of hazardous environments while battling each other in fast-paced, physics-based combat. ![]() I've created a new discussion thread here where you can post your ideas for the sequel. Flippy is a major character in Happy Tree Friends. Floppy Heroes PC Game Free Download Repacklab is a fast-paced multiplayer platformer game developed and published for PC. My plan is to rebuild the game from scratch, taking everything you guys loved about it and polishing it, expanding the gameplay, and using my experience gained from working on the current game to ensure a smoother and more stable product, with a better foundation for adding future content. This has resulted in the current state of the game, which, although not broken, has a fair bit of metaphorical duct-tape holding it together behind the curtain.Īs a result, I want to formally announce that I've begun work on a sequel! This is, of course, my fault as I had failed to plan ahead for the possibility of expanding the game. The problem is that adding some of these features, such as the modding tool released earlier this week, requires me to go back and significantly restructure parts of the code. I want to keep adding more arenas and equipment and features. Doing so has helped shape and grow Floppy Heroes far beyond what I had planned 16 months ago, when I first began working on what has become, in my eyes, a successful start to my game development career.įloppy Heroes is a game I want to keep working on. I want to preface this announcement by giving a big thank you to everyone who, throughout the existence of Floppy Heroes, has taken the time to share their opinions and suggestions. ![]() With no other nodes in the graph, attributes are implicitly passed through, so input P goes to output P, input N to output N etc ie, the geometry is unchanged. The rightmost node represents the final output of a point. The leftmost node represents a single point, and all its standard built-in attributes position, colour, normal, id etc. Anything you do in this graph is run on all the points of your geometry simultaneously, or at least as simultaneously as your computer will allow. In a vops network, the houdini chant that 'everything is points' becomes very important. They flow left to right rather than top to bottom. Here you find a new type of node graph, one that is also used for houdini shaders (SHOPS). ![]() ![]() Hit enter, or double click, to go into its sub network.It helps to think of the vop network like a flowchart, reading left to right. ![]() I explain vops a little more in Houdini Vops, but you can think of vops as a way to make your own deformers, using nodes. Vops are node based programing, sort of like hypershade/the node editor in Maya, but way more powerful. Older tutorials use point sops, you're better off getting comfortable with vops or vex. List of renderman SL variables for comparison: Point Sopĭon't use point sops. List of recognised houdini attributes (the amount surprised me, I use maybe 10% of these): 'P' is position, 'N' is normal, and so on. Why 'Cd'? Houdini uses a lot of naming conventions derived from prman. I added a colour node to the grid to make it red, another to make the sphere green, so you can see what's going on. Eg, you want to transfer colour, normal, and pscale, you'd type "Cd N pscale". If you want more than one attribute transferred, separate them with a space. Same as before, just type 'Cd' in the list of transferred attributes. Houdini scene: File:attribute_transfer_color_and_position.hip The 'match P attribute' is required because usually people don't want this they'll be transferring colour, or some other attribute, but they don't want the points to actually move.Yes houdini has regular poly and nurbs spheres too, look in the 'primitive type' dropdown of the sphere SOP.In maya-speak, we're reading a single particle (that we visualise as a sphere), read its position, compare to each vertex in a grid, and warp those verts towards the particle if they're too close. Knowing that, this setup makes a little more sense. It's more like a single maya particle rendered in sphere mode ie it has position and scale, but no verts that make up the surface. The answers are that a default houdini sphere (called a primitive sphere) isn't like a maya nurbs or poly sphere. 'But hang on, you said we're basically manipulating verticies, how come this setup magically reads the transform of the sphere? And shouldn't the grid verts be warping to all the verts on the sphere surface?' Good questions.(In fact you see this happen before you modify the distance and blend with parameters). If you had no falloff, the entire grid would disappear to a single point at the center of the sphere. This setup reads the position of the sphere, and transfers it to each point on the grid, with falloff.In houdini, all the fun stuff is down here, getting messy, pushing points around. While in maya you rarely modify these directly (usually you stay one level higher and manipulate object transforms). In maya you'd say this are the vertex positions. P is the standard attribute for position, usually point position.On second tab set the distance low (say 0.1) and blend width up (say 2.0) to get a blendy warp like the soup version.Ī few things to take note of here (or come back to later after you've tried a few more examples) :.Wire grid into first input, sphere into second.Transfer the position of sphere to the points of a grid, with a smooth falloff.

The seat rails wouldn't even move last month. The solution? Hand file them with my chain saw file. These holes were also located at the edge of the pedal and could not be simply drilled over-size. New pedals looked nice but had under-sized holes for my control rods. Cast iron too! (as recommended by a member here). New bearings, new shaft and new bearing pillow. I sealed it with a tube of black RTV, packed both side full of grease and then had to do it all over again.twice. The sprocket will only mount to one side. Differential assembly was a tad trickier than I expected. I added a little phosphoric acid to it and things cleaned up exceptionally well. The contents of each bag and bucket will be taking a trip through it. HF vibratory Tumbler and 10lbs of their abrasive media (highly recommended). Every nut, bolt, screw, spring and washer has been bagged, tagged and labeled (twice). The plan is to knock all the weld BB's off it, get it sandblasted and put into epoxy primer. This thing was rougher than a cob and that won't do. I could hardly pick it up or roll it over without a weld BB digging into my hand. The frame was covered in about 22,000 weld BB's. Thankfully I didn't find any holes or soft spots. Without a sandblaster, it allowed me to see how bad things really were. It's a bit safer than Muriatic acid and does pretty much the same thing, just slower. I started each day by brushing phosphoric acid on the more heavily rusted areas. If you have any questions, just ask.ĭown to the frame. According to him these Briggs and Stratton Vanguards were assembled in Japan for the Japanese market and were of very high quality. It was sold locally in 1995 so I headed across town and talked to the man who sold it new but he didn't have too much information on it. It must have been a relatively spendy rig when new. Rinse and repeat.Ģnd pic shows the rather clobby looking repair under jack shaft. There is no valve noise, no piston slap, no rod knock and no smoke. The engine idled for 30 minutes without overheating, smoking or rattling. The test ride shocked me.and almost killed me. A $22 Chinese carb, $7 rope starter, quart of oil and plug was all that it needed. ![]() This wobble eventually cracked the frame under the bearing pillow block. This wobble was masked by the belt tension. The bearing nearest the drive had gone south and allowed the shaft to wobble. Midway into the resto I learned that the jack shaft was shot. The gas peddle had been cut/broke and re-welded.poorly. One brake lever (on the caliper) was literally broken. The rear axle bearings were questionable. The battery, key and seat were also long gone. The carb, elbow and air box were missing. The rear tires had multiple plugs and didn't hold air. I asked about it one day and it became mine on the spot. He had tried to give it away but the guy never came for it. "The guy who gave it to me told me that all he thought it needed was a carb". We just goofed around in small engine class". According to my friend "I never touched it. It had been given to him by one of his friends to repair in small engine class in High School.

WEBSITE: To find out more about New Direction Tackle Bait Boat 2 with Deeper Chirp, watch the video below.We independently research, test, and recommend the best products you can learn more about our review process here. As you are doing this you can actively record the boat’s journey and save spots for faster deployment next time around!Īnother nice recent addition to the ND range is the new Boat Backpack for safe and efficient transportation and protection of your Bait Boat 2! With a rigid base, boat cover, extensive padding and a whole host of pockets to accommodate your accessories, you can ensure everything is to hand and protected. This not only shows the boat on the map in real time on one half of the screen, but you also see the water structures, water temperature and substrate in real time, meaning you can draw instant correlation and find invaluable spots with far bank markers and skyline indicators with ease. When using the Bait Boat 2 with a fishfinder like the Deeper you can use New Directions very own app with the fishfinder app in parallel. Interestingly, if you activate the Autopilot on the Bait Boat 2 device (additional purchase), it is simple to automate your bathymetric map as well as being able to locate spots and return home independently, without you having to navigate or control the boat, which is perfect, when rebaiting and dropping rigs in the hours of darkness. The device itself can be monitored throughout the app, including displays and battery level indicators, ensuring you are never caught short when exploring that next important feeding zone. The long antenna fitted to the rear of the boat improves signal back to the user for minimal interference and the standard 100m range between the Deeper and Smartphone APP can be further extended to over 200 metres using the separate ND Wi-Fi Sonar Range Extender for an additional £99. The inbuilt Deeper Chirp+ Sonar provides a highly accurate reading of the depth and lake bed, enabling you to easily map the topography of the lake, revealing bars, gulleys, weed and other valuable changes and substrates for you to target. The Bait Boat 2 has two ports built into the handle, allowing additional devices such as cameras to be attached to be able to really delve deeper into your own angling, making this far from just a bait delivery service but an eye opening watercraft exploration device. A single independent hook release allows you to discharge bait and rigs independently of each other, which is perfect for fishing the edge of your baited spot, and equally giving you unrivalled accuracy depending on your baiting and rig placement strategy. With two hoppers working independently of each other, you can bait various spots on one journey or equally spread bait throughout your spot as opposed to just discharging everything in one go. The handset itself provides single-handed control over the craft through a simple to use toggle stick, with several buttons for different functions, so simultaneously holding your rod and controlling line lay is both simple and effective. Taking just four to five hours to fully charge, the ND Bait Boat 2 will drive up to four miles per charge – even on the biggest of waters, it seems nowhere is out of reach! The range of the bait boat does depend on weather and environmental conditions, as does all tech, but on a clear line of sight and when conditions are prime, distances of accurate navigation and remote signals have been recorded up to and over 300 metres. The bait boat utilises two industrial jet drives for a fast and responsive propulsion and being jet driven as opposed to propellers means the device won’t become hindered when weed growth is prevalent. Measuring in at 25cm high, 40cm wide and 62cm long the ND Bait Boat 2 weighs just 5.5kg and can safely and efficiently transport up to 3kg of bait per trip. Well New Direction has done exactly that, it has taken the sleek and affordable Bait Boat 2 that found great popularity among anglers and has seamlessly integrated an ingenious Deeper Chirp+ device to uncover what lies beneath the surface. What really can transform a bait boat from being just a baiting tool to an invaluable piece of fishing tech is the addition of a sonar device. There is no denying the effectiveness of bait boats for a multitude of carp angling situations, whether it be intimate small ponds or large inland seas. ![]() ![]() So, if you're converting a low-quality video, don't expect the MP3 to sound better than the original.

When it comes to learning about the tools of the trade, nothing beats hands-on experience. The same goes for scaffolding! Get hands-on scaffolding experience By investing some time to understand the uses and characteristics of each scaffolding type, it’ll be easy to identify and understand what scaffolding is safe to use on a site.īefore stepping on a ladder, we’re taught to know how it works and how to use it safely. These scaffolding types are some of the most widely used in the construction industry. For example, the type of terrain and the nature of the construction project will determine the type of scaffolding system used on site. Taking into consideration that there are numerous types of scaffolding systems to choose from, each project’s requirements and specifications will determine the type of scaffolding you will work with. Scaffolding is critical not only for the safety of the construction crew but also for the support of the original building’s structure. It can’t be denied that scaffolding is an essential part of a construction project. Have you worked with all types of scaffolding? It is created using a safe and durable interlocking system so that it can provide a resilient working platform that can be customized according to any desired height according to the site’s requirements. Known for its easy installation, the Kwikstage scaffolding is manufactured from hard-wearing galvanized steel and it is extensively used in both major and minor construction projects. In a patented scaffolding, the working platform is set on the brackets, which can be adjusted to the required level accordingly.Īnother type of scaffolding is the Kwikstage scaffolding system. Patented scaffoldings are readymade – which means they are available to buy in-store and can be put into use as soon as bought. Due to this, it’s one of the most popular scaffolding structures and it’s heavily used in outdoor construction projects and large commercial sites.Īlthough Patented scaffoldings are also made up of steel, this type of scaffolding is fitted with special frames and couplings. On top of that, it can be very easily assembled and disintegrated.Īlthough it’s not the most economical scaffolding solution, it provides high safety standards to the construction crew. Steel scaffolding is used extensively in different types of construction projects nowadays and it’s known for its robustness, strength, and durability. Steel scaffolding is created using steel tubes that are set together by steel couplers or fittings. ![]() This type of scaffolding is primarily used for indoor construction projects, such as repairs or painting projects, as the maximum height of trestle scaffolding is 5 meters only. In Trestle scaffolding, the working platform is supported on movable ladders or tripods. ![]() The height of the platform can be adjusted at the desired level and can be raised or lowered accordingly. Suspended scaffolding is used in many different types of construction projects, ranging from repair work to painting. Due to its nature, the construction of cantilever scaffolding requires that numerous safety and precautionary checks are performed.Ĭantilever scaffolding is mainly used when the ground does not have the capacity or terrain to support the standards, when the top part of the wall is under construction, or when the ground is close to the wall and free from traffic.Īs its name suggests, suspended scaffolding works by suspending the working platform from the roof using rope or chains. ![]() In Cantilever scaffolding, standards are supported on a series of needles that are taken out through holes in the wall. Cross braces and rakers can also be added at a later stage to make the structure firmer. Once the frames are well positioned, the putlogs can be then added to complete the scaffold. Considering that stone walls can’t support putlogs, double scaffolding offers the required sturdiness and robustness by placing two scaffoldings together.
