The tree is also found in Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North-West Province, Mozambique, and into tropical Africa. Combretum imberbe or Leadwood tree is widespread in northern Namibia. It is widespread in Lowveld areas and grows along streams and rivers. The leadwood tree is found in all the bushveld regions and in mixed forest in southern Africa. The big trees in the forest are between 200 and 300 years old. The flowering-season is in the winter during June and July. The flowers are branched panicles up to 9 inches or 30 cm tall from the base of the peduncle to the apex of the terminal of the racem. They have their first flowers when they are about 20 to 30 years old. The quiver tree propagates only by seeds. ![]() The quiver tree is a stout tree up to 29 feet or 9 meters high with a smooth trunk which can be up to one metre in diameter at ground level. Koker is the South African Afrikaans word for quiver. Known as Choje to the indigenous San people, the quiver tree gets its name, Kokerboom, from the San practice of hollowing out the tubular branches of Aloe dichotoma to form quivers for their arrows. Dichotoma refers to the forked branches of the plant. Quiver technically botanically speaking is not a tree but an aloe plant. The quiver tree also known as kokerboom, is a species of aloe indigenous to South Africa northern cape region. The trunk is smooth and shiny, not at all like the bark of other trees, and it is pinkish grey or sometimes copper colored. The tree is certainly very different from any other. Various Baobabs have been used as a shop, a prison, a house, a storage barn and a bus shelter. One ancient hollow Baobab tree in Zimbabwe is so large that up to 40 people can shelter inside its trunk. It can grow to enormous sizes and carbon dating indicates that they may live to be 3,000 years old. The Baobab tree is a strange looking tree that grows in low-lying areas in Africa and Australia. It is also legendary for its gigantic size growing to more than 70 feet high and 35 feet in diameter, its canopy spreading to 235 feet. The baobab is also known as the tree of life. The gigantic trunk of the baobab tree leads upwards to branches resembling the roots of a tree, which is why it has often been referred to as the upside-down tree. Found in the higher mountain slopes and occasionally in riverbeds.Common names for the baobab tree are cream of tartar tree, monkey-bread tree, tabaldi, and mowana. It can grow up to several metres high and blooms with bright yellow flowers, usually in May. It has many branches that spread out from low down on the central structure. ramosissima): Less common than the other kokerbooms, this aloe resembles a shrub rather than a tree. The Maiden’s Quiver Tree, or Nooienskokerboom (A. In the Richtersveld National Park, they can be seen in Helskloof and on Cornell’s Kop. They grow on mountain slopes close to the Orange River, from Baken to the Tatasberg, with a southern extension on the Dragon’s Back mountain near Eksteenfontein. It has fewer, thicker branches and larger leaves than its cousin, A. It grows up to 10m tall with a thick stem. Pillan’s Quiver Tree, also called the Bastard Quiver Tree or Basterkokerboom (A. The kokerboom forest (more correctly called a colony) in the Richtersveld National Park is the best place to check out these ancient aloes. It’s found east of the Stinkfontein mountains and in the arid northern Richtersveld, where it tends to grow taller with simpler branch structures. It grows up to 9m high and is characterised by a large central stem with a broad spray of branches and leaves growing out of the upper reaches. These are: The plain old Quiver Tree/Kokerboom (Aloe dichotoma). In the Richtersveld, 3 of the 5 species of kokerboom can be found. The name ‘quiver tree’ refers to the Bushman and Khoikhoi hunters, who used to carry their arrows in hollowed-out kokerboom branches. ![]()

8/12/2023 0 Comments Anger iceberg kirstie pursey![]() ![]() What would you like to do?” Or if your child’s anger might be fatigue, hunger or sleepiness? “Do you think you’re hungry for a snack? Or you’re sleepy? Could that be why you’re mad right now?” ![]() You can choose one more ride before we go home, or we can go home now. Does the situation need a compromise? “Maybe you and your friend can take turns playing with on the swing.” Are boundaries or limit setting needed? “ I know you’re angry we have to leave the park. Teach children ways to problem solve their anger. What need is not being met? Who or what is frustrating them? This helps children construct a mindful view of anger and why it's happening. Help them identify what the situation is that’s made them react. Help children understand why they are angry. When maladaptive anger is shown, redirect your child by prompting, “Instead of throwing your toys, tell me what’s bothering you.” “Instead of hitting your brother, tell him what’s making you mad.” Make sure you praise the adaptive expressive of anger so your child can feel good about their emotional choices. This will help little ones move from being physical like breaking toys, hitting or other aggressive behaviors to express anger. Encourage children to "Use your words" when anger presents. Learning how to share angry feelings in healthy ways will also reduce the shame and guilt children feel from being destructive with their anger. Helping children to understand healthy expressions of anger will give them self-confidence, teach them positive social interactions, and help them self-regulate confusing emotions. The next step is to reach children that anger can be expressed in adaptive ways (mindful words and problem solving) or maladaptive ways (yelling, getting physical or being aggressive). Healthy and unhealthy expressions of anger.Help them understand while anger is a natural reaction, there are ways for it to be expressed in healthy and unhealthy ways. Teach them that anger is something all adults and children feel. Explain to little ones that anger is an emotion that arises when we feel frustrated, disappointed or hurt. This means that feelings of anger are usually the byproduct of another emotion, and we express anger as a way to protect the true and raw feeling that is at the core of us.6 Tips for Adults, Caregivers and Educators Lastly, I think it’s important for us as moms to realize that anger is often a secondary emotion. You can say, “I understand that you are angry about (fill in the blank), but we don’t (insert unacceptable behavior here) when we are angry.” Try to avoid telling your child to “calm down” or to say that they are overreacting - while acting out in anger is not okay, you want your child to know that feeling angry is okay. Instead of turning immediately toward defensiveness, remind yourself of Truth such as “I cannot control my child’s behavior,” or “this discipline is not working, I need to go at this from a different direction.” ![]() Remind yourself that your child’s anger is not actually about you. If you need to remove yourself from the situation, that’s okay, and sometimes it’s the very best course of action. As a mom, when your child becomes angry and acts out toward you, the best thing to do is to pause, to step away, and to take a minute to regain your composure. ![]() When your child wells up with anger, it’s very normal to become instantly defensive. Dealing with anger is a fact of life when you’re a mom, no matter if it’s your anger or theirs that’s causing problems. ![]() 8/12/2023 0 Comments Folio institutional vs axa![]() Supranational bonds also qualify as High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) and can be used for portfolio liquidity enhancement and as collateral for repo and derivatives exposure. They often enjoy the benefits of some government guarantees and can add diversification, while currently providing a spread pick-up over government bonds. But at 16% of a key euro market benchmark, SSAs are a sub-asset class in their own right. Many European pension funds and insurance companies invest in government bonds to match their liabilities and in corporate bonds as part of their growth allocation. We believe they can offer an attractive investment opportunity to institutional investors due to a potential improved yield over government bonds, their typically higher credit ratings and a diverse risk profile. Supranational, sub-sovereigns and agency (SSA) bonds are a distinct but often overlooked sub-asset class within fixed income. ![]()

![]() ![]() The plot on which the house ended up is also surrounded by the “Bear’s river”. The forest of deciduous trees remains almost completely untamed, interrupted only by a discreet pedestrian access which is the only way of reaching the house. The house is located on a huge plot of land in the middle of the wild Pennsylvania forest. The integration of water, trees, rocks, sky and nature throughout the house closes off a certain romantic vision of the house, but opens up a new spatial-temporal dimension for man’s refuge. With this work, Wright achieved the maximum freedom of expression, while maintaining harmony with the surroundings. The upper terrace gives the house a more intimate character. Amongst other purposes, they reflect the natural light and project it, indirectly, toward the interior. ![]() The use of large windows eliminates the separation between rooms and their terraces. The large living room has a glass wall which allows those inside to enjoy the view of the waterfall, as well as hearing its relaxing murmur. The interior space had to be light and spacious, and so he set out to avoid limitations as much as possible. The habitability of the interior was what truly preoccupied the architect. The architect decided to employ natural materials- wood, brick, rock- with which he achieved an impressive integration between the building and the forest which surrounds it. The exterior of the house maintains an intimate relationship with the surrounding nature. In creating this impression, Wright was inspired by Japanese architecture. In reality, they are terraces limited by smooth concrete plates. In this way, it can be modified, as in organic architecture the construction is conceived as a living thing and can alter its form.Įach level is marked by wide projections which protrude asymmetrically in various directions. The building grows from inside out and extends according to the needs of its inhabitants. The vertical axis is defined by the chimney, which towers over the roof. It’s composition is horizontal, though somewhat complex. ![]() Not if you wanted to do it the Wright way, that is.This building, constructed over three levels, sits on a rock over a natural waterfall. Because, as my husband has repeatedly assured me, with building restrictions these days, you could never build a modern-day Fallingwater “to Code”. It took imagination and ingenuity in the 1930s to build a house that extends out over a waterfall, and one that is not easily replicated even today. Because I couldn’t help feeling very jealous of the Kaufman family that called this place their summer home until 1963. Henk, being a contractor, had a more practical perspective, but there was one word we both agreed on: enviable. I’m no expert on architecture but visiting Fallingwater can’t help but elicit descriptors like ‘harmonious’, ‘tranquil’, and ‘inspiring’. The two-story building is not as elaborate as the main house, but the long, low rooflines are similar and Wright designed everything inside and out with the same care and quality as he did in the main house, including the built-in furniture.Ī dream cottage, a work of art, an architectural game-changer? You can decide. ![]() But this is certainly no rudimentary ‘bunkie’. The guest cottage (part of which was used as servants’ quarters) is located up a gradual slope above the main house and is accessed via a covered walkway which provided protection in case of rain. Wright also designed space for guests of the Kaufmann family, but like everything else at Fallingwater, he ensured that nothing would disturb the owners’ privacy or the views from the main house. He took Kaufmann’s request to the extreme: instead of situating the house with a commanding view of the waterfall, Wright built the house literally on top of it. The fact that there’s nothing much around is what adds to the beauty and peacefulness of Fallingwater.Ĭommissioned by Edgar Kaufmann to build a new summer home that would take advantage of the waterfall feature on the property, Frank Lloyd Wright took the opportunity to realize a revolutionary new design. It’s not that Wright was purposely trying to hide the house – he was just building where the wealthy Kaufmann family of Pittsburgh already had a country getaway. Located about 90 minutes south of Pittsburgh, you need to drive through the middle of Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands, a beautifully wooded, very hilly part of the state, before you reach the road to the house. Let’s start by saying that if you aren’t looking for it, you won’t accidentally stumble onto Fallingwater. ![]() ![]() ![]() Different images shown at the end of select videos revealed a "Trident" logo, and the name " Dr. Throughout the following weeks, Call of Duty updated their story with different videos of varying length, displaying the hidden narrator talking about a "program" and "Test Subjects".

The Rangers release the antidote in the Center's water reservoir to put a halt to the crisis.ĭuring their investigation of the Agricultural Center the Rangers discover that the disease was not accidentally made but deliberately created by Dr. They also collect a number of blast pod pieces which the scientists use to create an antidote that can cure people who are infected by blast pod seeds and which can halt the mutation of the plants and the animals. Team Echo assists the besieged scientists by undertaking a number of missions during which they rescue survivors and shut down the waterworks to stop the spread of the disease. If the player decides to assist the Agricultural Center they will find the facility under siege by massive mutant plants and various mutant animals as well as humans who have been mutated into pod people and now attack anyone who is not affected by the disease. General Vargas ordered the nearest Ranger Team, Team Echo to decide to either respond to the distress signal of the Agricultural Center, or Highpool. The leader of the community, Kathy Lawson sent a distress signal to the Ranger Citadel, asking for assistance. Plants grew to enormous sizes or mutated into blast pods that spread parasitic seeds that could turn humans into pod people, insect species such as fruit flies and their larvae grew also to enormous sizes and became hostile towards other life, and mammals such as rabbits also changed into deadly killers after being exposed to the disease. In 2102 the Agricultural Center suffered a disaster when a mutating disease was released through the Center's waterworks, drastically altering plants, animals, and even the people. At least one retired ranger has joined the scientist community and has been helping in the work that is performed here. The Center enjoys the protection of the Desert Rangers whose base, the Ranger Citadel is not located far from it. Since 2087, the Agricultural Center has increased its mission and goals of providing food for the wasteland and has attracted a number of scientists and other trained or skilled personnel from across the Arizona wasteland as far as Darwin village. ![]() ![]() The Agricultural Center is a large experimental farm where next to growing crops and holding livestock the scientists and other personnel also perform research and work on breeding stronger and sturdier plants and animals that can better survive in the conditions of the Arizona wasteland and thrive. ![]() 8/12/2023 0 Comments Wire gauge amp chart 12 volt dc![]() ![]() As with the power wire, the longer the run and the more current you're pushing through. 16-, 14-, or 12-gauge wires for subwoofers. When you replace or run new speaker wiring, we recommend using: 18-, 16-, or 14-gauge wires for speakers. ![]() In the BlueSea chart, they even include the concepts of a 3 voltage drop or a 10 voltage drop. The signal and power coming out of your amplifier must not be impeded on their way to your speakers and subs. I’ve included multiple charts because there’s multiple opinions on what size wire gauge is best. Owner was very happy as it worked fine and never destroyed the indicator unit again (apparently he had purchased 5 in the past due to the winch earth. For example, if your inverter is three feet away from your batteries, then you’ll need to look at the 6 foot lengths on the charts below. The reason was that the original fitting of this winch was only done with one cable - the live - to the winch and it then relied on the trailer earthing via the 5th wheel - this did not work reliably and it partially burnt out the wiring on the truck. The idea was that the cable was stored clamped / fixed to the tractor unit 24v battery cover, then once the trailer was in position the cable could be connected to the winch - used quick-release connectors for that. I used flexible 600A welding cable (this is only 1/2" or 5/8" diameter from memory) and soldered the lugs both ends. I want to run a 10 amp load wire 50 with 5 losses or less at 12 volt. Follow this to the left until you see the one way length of wire you need in feet. 14 AWG, which has a diameter of 1.62 mm, can only carry 15-20 amps the same. Using the below charts, find the current in amps on the left. For example, if you look at the chart below, you will see that 12 AWG, which has a diameter of 2.05 mm, can carry 20-25 amps up to 4 feet. ![]() If you have not bought the cable yet - then go up to 600A. In the AWG system, the higher the number of the cable rating, the thinner the wire and, therefore, the less current it can carry. Keep in mind that the search does not realize that the minimum wire gauge size the U.S. If your cable is under or close to 400A then running two in parallel will work as well. Much easier to use than a wire size chart Much easier to use than a wire size chart The unit of area circular mil (cmil) is equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil, which is a thousandth of an inch (0.0254 mm). I don't have the current capacity for the cable you quote, but I fitted an electric winch to an HGV tractor and trailer a long time ago. You will then see results for the cross-sectional area, wire gauge in AWG, and the diameter of the cable. ![]() |
