You can either pull the problematic roads inwards or outwards, but either way, you'll run into the problem of having too few points of contact after the split joints release. With the addition of a second boat, and the limit on road, it seems like a double drawbridge would be your only option, but this is not the case. If you want to use the tracer tool to create a clean arch, you will have to click on the unlock tangents button, as without doing this there is no valid tracer position that hits the checkpoint but doesn't hit the boat.Įxtra boat, only 8 Road. If you did an overpass in the last hydraulic level, 1-06, look at the drawbridge in the tutorial or look at Tip 42 in the Tip Menu (F1) to get an idea about how to use hydraulics.ĭue to the short stature of the boat, going over the boat is a lot cheaper, due to the lack of needing any hydraulics. This is also the second drawbridge in the game, and this time with limited hydraulics.Ī simple truss bridge is enough to get you through the first half of the bridge, but after the checkpoint the cars can go either one of two ways.īy building a drawbridge straight across the gap, the player can use one or two hydraulics to move roads out of the way of the boat, letting the van cross safely. This is intended to be an introduction to the Stop Checkpoint, which behaves similarly to the Reverse Checkpoint featured in 1-07, except that the vehicle will not reverse after collecting it. Stop N' Go is the eleventh level of Pine Mountains, and it consists of a Van and a Compact Car.

![]() You can use that time to think about what you want to do next, and to re-energize your network. You can do your job every day and save your mental and emotional energy for your next step, whether it's a sideline consulting business or a quiet job search. Once you get the knock on the head that says, "You can do better than this!" you have time to plan. There is a silver lining to a dead-end job. Most of us will get stuck in a dead-end job at some point if it hasn't happened to us already. When you envision yourself working at your current job one year from now, you don't see anything changing. The leaders have accepted the fact that the company is a revolving door.ġ0. People come and go in your organization all the time. When you talk with your manager about your professional growth and development, he or she doesn't listen and doesn't care.ĩ. If that's not what you want to be, then you're in a dead-end situation.Ĩ. You are essentially an on-call special projects person. Your manager gives you the work he or she doesn't want to do. You look around you and see that your organization doesn't move people up or allow them to expand their roles.ħ. For whatever reason - internal politics, inertia, your manager's fear of your growing flame, or something else - you can see that your current job is the highest and most interesting position you're going to get in your company.Ħ. There are more frustrated employees like you looking to move up in your organization than there are opportunities to do so.ĥ. The role you fulfill for your employer is obviously not important to the people in charge.Ĥ. Every idea you propose at work and every suggestion you make is met with the same reaction: "Thanks, but we're not going to change anything."ģ. You are required to do your job the same way every day and you see no way to expand your contribution (or your own development).Ģ. Your role and your job description are fixed, without room to stretch. Here are 10 signs you're in a dead-end job.ġ. You can start a stealth job search and leave the dead-end job in your rear view mirror, but first you have to become aware that your current job is not likely to get better. You can work at your dead-end job all day and use your nights and weekends to launch an independent consulting practice - something every working person should do. You can look around the organization for a meatier assignment. What's important to you and your forward motion is not when or how you become aware that your job is a dead-end job, but what you do once you get that memo! You might take what looks like a great job, the way Vijay did, and see the job turn into a going-nowhere assignment, or you might walk into a new job and smell the dead air in the place on your very first day. The realization that you're stuck in a dead-end job can sneak up on you. "That's not actually the case," Vijay told us, "but why upset my CEO? The company is already doing $22 million in sales and they would benefit greatly from some internal infrastructure, but why would the CEO focus on solving pain that he doesn't yet feel? I may hear from this company a year or two down the road when their problems are worse than they are now. "I guess we just hired you too soon," said Vijay's CEO. Vijay's going-away party at his job took place on the seven-month anniversary of his arrival at the job. I'm tired of re-selling my ideas over and over." In the six months I've worked here, I've spent almost all of my time working on the crisis of the moment and almost none of my time putting in place the systems that I originally recommended - the systems that would make most of the frenetic fire-fighting unnecessary. I had better leave now while I still have a reasonable story to tell. "Oddly enough," he said, "at the moment I have a dead-end job in a fast-growing company. Six months later we heard from Vijay again. ![]() In general, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Arkansas are considered the least-healthy states, with high rates of obesity, excessive drinking, cancer, and heart disease, and low-quality health care. Unsurprisingly, nine of the ten most obese states are also on the list of the ten states with the shortest life spans. Mississippi is the most obese state, with 40.8% of adults being obese. ![]() Mississippi men live the shortest lives on average: 71.4 years. Mississippi's longevity is the lowest in the United States at 74.6 years. The ten states with the lowest life expectancies, in order, are Mississippi (74.6), West Virginia (74.9), Alabama (74.9), Kentucky (75.1), Arkansas (75.4), Oklahoma (75.5), Louisiana (75.5), Tennessee (76.1), South Carolina (76.2), and Ohio (76.6). Low obesity rates are common in this list, with eight of the ten states having obesity rates at 28.3% or lower. Physical activity is high in the state, and its 25% obesity rate is the third-lowest nationwide. If Hawaii were a country, it would have the 21st-highest longevity globally. Women in Hawaii are the longest-living Americans at 84.3 years. Hawaii has the longest life expectancy in the United States at 81.5 years. The ten states with the longest life expectancies, in order, are Hawaii (81.5), California (80.8), Minnesota (80.8), New York (80.7), Connecticut (80.6), New Jersey (80.4), Colorado (80.0), Washington (80.0), Massachusetts (79.0), and Vermont (79.0).

On average, Hawaii residents live longer than residents in any other state, about 81.5 years, while Mississippi residents live the shortest lives at 74.6 years. Life Expectancy by Stateīecause the above factors vary greatly by state, so do life expectancies. American men expect to live an average of 76.1 years, while women expect to live an average of 81.1 years, a five-year difference. Additionally, women tend to live longer than men. Overall, you can expect to see the highest life expectancies in the healthiest states. These include, but are not limited to, gender, access to quality health care, hygiene, obesity, diet and nutrition, exercise, and crime rates. In general, life expectancy is based on two major factors: genetics and lifestyle choices. The latest figures are 78.5 years, according to the OECD 78.6 years, according to the CDC 80.0 years, according to the CIA. The average life expectancy at birth in the U.S. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global life expectancy as of 2016 was 72.0 years, 74.2 for females and 69.8 years for men. Life expectancy is the statistical measure of the average time a person is expected to live. ![]() Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after purchase.

![]() Unfortunately, no advertisers are still giving away free blotter sheets, but you can still buy them (see below). Click here to see some typical examples on the historical site of the U.S. They printed their campaign advertising on them and sent them out far and wide. They were like extra large business cards, but clients appreciated receiving them and kept them on their desks right in front of them to use.Īnother group who found blotter sheets a perfect promotional tool were politicians. Advertising Ink BlottersĬompanies began giving away blotter sheets with their advertising messages and contact details. Advertisers were quick to see an opportunity and capitalize on it. (Sorry!)īy the 1950’s, even though fashionable desk sets still included a rocker, many people had found that it was just as effective (and a little more convenient) to simply use blotting paper sheets and press them down on a page by hand. ![]() So far we’ve established that fountain pen users were the first rock ‘n rollers. They never quite gained the same popularity, probably because they didn’t work quite as well. These blotter rollers can also be found in antique shops and through online auctions, but not as commonly as the rockers. It could then be rolled over the page to absorb the ink. The basic idea was the same botting paper was wrapped around the roller and glued in place. The paper retained ink far better than felt, and could be replaced quickly and inexpensively.Ī variation on the idea of the rocker was another design in the form of a roller. This highly absorbent blotting paper (with the thickness of a card stock) was easily cut to size and attached to a rocker using a plate and screw. You may also recognize it as very similar to the paper used by watercolor artists. Bibulous paper is a fibrous paper that is also used in laboratories for test strips. Then, in 1856, the company of Joseph Parker and Son, began producing bibulous paper for ink blotting. This was a marked improvement, but the felt was expensive and tended to become stained before long and could leave marks. These had a piece of felt attached to a curved base, and were used by rocking the felt over the page so that it absorbed the freshly laid down ink. In the early 1800’s, the first “hand blotters” were devised. It worked to a degree, but you only need to go back and read some documents of that era to see that smudging was a problem. Before the invention of ink blotting paper, starting back in the days of quill pens, people would sometimes sprinkle salt on their writing as a way to quickly dry up excess ink.

Did you just do it? Yes, they have characteristics of both colors. She had tons of tortitude and I loved everything about her.Ī torbie is a tortoiseshell-tabby (say that three times fast!). Now that’s you’ve learned about cat genetics, isn’t it clever that their model is a tortie with white! Personally, the first cat of my life was Malibu, a tortie with white. If you look at my Affiliate Links (sidebar on desktop, down low on mobile), the kitty in the basepaws ad is a tortie with white. Not a very creative name but a beautiful cat nonetheless. ![]() What do you get if you take a tortie and add white patches? You guessed it. So, a tortie should not have white, unless… Apparently she did not read my post on canned food! By the way, despite having NO teeth, Jelly refuses canned food and will only eat dry. ![]() She made a full recovery and we kept her until she was later adopted by one of our technicians. She had terrible stomatitis that required all her teeth to be extracted. Jelly is a cat that our feline-hospital took in from the humane society. Throughout CatVetLife you’ll see many pictures of Jelly, a perfect example of a tortie. Their primary color is black with orange or red splotches. Torties are bi-colored cats (not tri-colored like the calico) whose muted or mottled black and orange fur looks like the shell of a tortoise. Because all they need is a single orange gene to be orange! This is also why most orange cats are male. Now you’re getting it, right? They have the opportunity to inherit BOTH an orange AND a black gene. Therefore, their makeup is XXY, also known as Klinefelter Syndrome in humans. Very rarely males get TWO X chromosomes during fertilization – whoa! I’ve never seen one but I’m holding my breath. ![]() So they can’t have BOTH orange and black. Males, however, only get one copy of either orange or black. Furthermore, neither gene is dominant over the other (Have you heard of dominant and recessive?) so a female can easily have both colors (orange and black). Since females are XX they “can” have two orange genes (orange + orange), two black genes (black + black), or one of each (orange + black = precisely the type of cats we’re discussing). The genes for orange and black fur are found on X. The X chromosome determines coat color Y does not. So, it’s the tom (aka daddy cat) that determines the sex of the kitten. A kitten will get one X from the queen and EITHER an X or Y from the tom. In mammals, sex is determined by the X and Y chromosomes (which contain the genes that determine our characteristics). I like to think about any given topic in the most basic way first, then I can delve further into the subject and learn specific details if I want to learn more. First, let’s find the easiest way to understand why “all” calico cats are female. Take note, a calico cat is not to be confused with a tortoiseshell, which has a black undercoat and a mostly mottled coat of black/red or blue/cream with relatively few to no white markings.Ī perfect example of a calico. The calico cat is most commonly thought of as being mostly white with large orange and black patches however, the amount of white is highly variable. The “patches” are the key and this is what differentiates them from a tortie. In general, a calico cat has a tri-color coat, i.e. These cats are known to be both loving and spicy if you know what I mean! They are the ultimate conveyors of cattitude (or tortitude, as we often say). Nor am I a breeder (they have strict standards about coat color definition that can be very detailed.) In other countries, they may define them just a bit differently. We’ll clear up the confusion between the calico, tortie (aka tortoiseshell), and torbie! Note that these color names are more specific to the USA. Just for fun! Just because! Let’s discuss this fantastic cat coat color (and a few interesting medical facts). ![]() Bidders are responsible for bids placed on their account.

![]() The Winchester Mystery House® is an architectural wonder and historic landmark in San Jose, CA. The Mysterious Construction of the Winchester Mansion Some of the tour guides refuse to use the 3rd floor corridors after dark, as they have heard footsteps or a voice calling their name, even when they are completely alone. Per the Winchester Mystery House’s website, “a number of employees-and a few visitors-claim to have crossed paths with ‘Clyde,’ a mustached man sometimes seen pushing a wheelbarrow in the basement, or trying to repair the fireplace in the Ballroom.” Guests have said “We really like the actor who was ‘repairing’ the ballroom fireplace, wearing white overalls and a Victorian boater hat!” To which the staff reply “huh? We didn’t hire an actor.” You might feel Clyde tug on your pants or shirt as you’re winding through the tour. Less officially, both visitors and employees have encountered some ghostly sightings. ![]() Called ‘ Who’s Whooooo‘, the brochure gave details of several allegedly haunted locations in the US, including the Winchester House. The US Travel Service, part of the Department of Commerce, published it abroad in the late 1960s. Some sources make the wild claim that the Winchester House is “Certified as Haunted by the US Department of Commerce.” This tale probably originated from a brochure aimed at promoting foreign travel to the US. Since Houdini’s visit, subsequent investigations of the Winchester Mystery House read like a list of who’s who in the paranormal world, including Zak Bagans from Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, renowned psychic Sylvia Browne, and famous medium James Van Praagh. New since Diana’s visit, there is now a Houdini-inspired escape room on the Estate: Houdini‘s Spirited Escape! We hope we can review it for you soon. His visit elicited more questions than answers. He wanted to disprove Spritiualism by debunking the lore that surrounded the recently-deceased Sarah Winchester’s massive, mysterious mansion. Legendary magician Harry Houdini stopped by the Winchester Estate during his 1923-1924 tour.
