Observers here have seen the rare green flash the instant before the sun drops out of sight. Mountains are fine natural observatories for seeing simple, beautiful things. Cold rain drenches the valley as sleet, freezing rain and snow fall higher up the mountains. The nine weather students hike downhill a couple of miles on the icy road, their spiked boots gripping the ice, until they are picked up one by one by the snow tractor.ħ a.m. Five hours later, zero-visibility fog covers the top. Visibility is close to 90 to 100 miles on the summit, although the scenery is blue skies and white clouds.ġ2: 30 p.m. A predicted storm holds off, but fog obscures all mountains except the top of Mount Washington as the sun rises. The peak is called the Rock Pile but rime hides it well.ħ: 15 a.m. Wind gusts slap faces at 40 mph on a sharply etched, 17-degree day as a Snow-Cat carries the weather students to the summit. The weather was always on the move:ġ1: 30 a.m. ![]() The crystal-clear air made the glistening snowpack on the Presidential peaks seem as near as arms' length. Instead of the thrilling winds and cold they had expected, the visitors had sun-splashed views, impossible during storms. The mountaineer John Muir called the Sierra Nevada the Range of Light, but for two days so were these White Mountains. They enjoyed two days and one night on the summit, where average January wind is 46 mph, average temperature is 3.9 degrees and wind chill is near minus 40. For $365, they wore Arctic layering, walked outside, were buffeted by winds, got windburned cheeks, checked weather instruments, listened to meteorology lectures and slept in observatory bunk rooms. He was the leader of an observatory "EduTrip" seminar on mountain weather for nine weather fans. Caribou, Maine, was 55 below zero recently," jokes Tom Zicarelli of Bethel, Maine. "I don't know how they can claim this is the worst weather in the world. It isn't always "the world's worst" as the staff says, partly in memory of April 12, 1934, when the wind hit 231 mph, the strongest recorded. Yet weather can change quickly on this frosted summit at 6,288 feet. Unlike carabiners for climbing where non locking gates are often used, in boating a non-locking carabiner is the devil. There are a couple major styles of non-locking carabiners wire gate and solid gate. There are 2 major styles of carabiner gates locking and non-locking. So as yet there is no perfect connector and hopefully this information will help you decide what to use and recognise the limitations of your choice.This makes the whole system work. ![]() ![]() Stop! Its not that simple of course given the collar could jam with sand/salt/corrosion, and also the spring could fail, so if you decide on one of these be extremely vigilant with maintenance and lubrication. If you intend to be in demanding high risk situations where a towline connection must be super reliable then a screwgate clip is the tool for the job. The screwgate connector is another option to consider. In rock climbing snapgates are recognised as a risky connection and are not used for critical rigging that task is for a screwgate connector a threaded collar is screwed over the gate to stop it opening. Some coaches will insist on these being replaced before launching! The maximum strength of these is much lower than a metal clip so consider what types of situations you will be in and make an informed decision. There are also some plastic clips used and issued on products they are quite small & chunky with a leaf type gate and are light and relatively cheap. These clips have an internal tube with a traditional spring which can jam with dirt and salt crystals so although these are less likely (still possible though) to disconnect from a line, they may jam open or closed when you need them most! Even when scrupulously maintained these clips can fail as a result of exposure to a marine environment. The benefit of wiregate clips is the spring is very simple and will not jam or corrode given it is created by eccentric loading of tensioned maintenance free stainless steel – clever stuff! Lets compare this to a connector with a solid gate. So if you use these clip types practise clipping to the very front of the bow to prevent this. This is more prone to occur if the decklines are tight and made of cheap polypropylene rough braided lines rather than the smoother polyester decklines. With wiregate clips such as the Kraken stainless clip (and most other wiregate clips) if they run alongside the deckline on rare occasions the rope itself can catch on the gate and drag it open & disconnect. Snapgate disconnection can occur if the kayak is thrown around and lurches back and forward, up and down causing the connector & line to be tossed & twisted in all directions. This characteristic is also a potential cause of failure and can result, on rare occasions by chance, in the snapgate unclipping entirely from the deckline leaving the towed kayak at the mercy of Neptune’s wrath. All of these clips are snapgates hence they snap close on a spring and can be opened and closed very quickly brilliant for a quick connection on a lumpy sea. Most sea kayak coaches recommend clipping from underneath the deckline to reduce the chance of the clip disconnecting. Regarding the connectors generally used they all are snag free with no hook on the nose which could snag the deckline. The connector or karabiner is a critical aspect of the sea kayak towing system. However on rare occasions it may malfunction therefore your exposure to risk should consider this & always have a back up. ![]() Sea kayaking is an assumed risk activity and your rescue kit is there to help you manage that risk. This text is to assist in giving that information & we also suggest go chat to an experienced sea kayak coach! There is not a perfect connector yet available for this task each one has its limitations and it is up to the paddler to make an informed choice of what to use and then test and practise using it so as to become competent in its deployment & appreciate what it can/cannot do. There are a variety of connectors used for towing sea kayaks and all have their benefits and pitfalls. ![]() The tubers absorb and store water, making rosary vines somewhat resistant to drought. Most people grow string of hearts in hanging baskets as tender houseplants.Ĭeropegia woodii is a type of caudiciform plant-they have a tuberous root system. The fast-growing vining plants are native to South Africa and grow outdoors in USDA zones 10 and 11.

String of hearts doesn’t require misting. Grow a string of hearts in bright indirect sunlight, well-draining succulent potting mix, and water when the soil dries. Sweetheart vines are easy-care houseplants that require little maintenance. String of Hearts Plant ( Ceropegia Woodii) Care Overview String of heart plants are cool houseplants when their cascading stems hang straight down. Some string of heart cultivars have variegated leaves with silvery green leaves and cream and pink variegation. ![]() Other names for Ceropegia woodii include chain of hearts, rosary vine, and sweetheart vine.Īlthough the dark-green heart-shaped leaves are small, they develop fascinating silvery marbled patterns.

It is to show off the form of the body.”Ĭhung was also inspired by the very naked images of the late Helmut Newton, known for his nude imagery and nods to Amazonian women. “It’s also another reason why you see, for example, in superhero comic books they wear skin-tight outfits. “As an artist, what you find is it’s actually very difficult to draw realistic clothing, and even if you do it, your drawing then becomes more about what the character is wearing rather than the character itself,” says Chung. If Chung were to choose layers of clothing, it would mean that he would have to illustrate and animate differently. Aeon’s clothing was a way to show off the range of her body, the same way a dancer’s tight clothing reveals their form. “Everything was designed in a way to make her riveting visually, something that would draw your attention.” “Even if they were confused about what was happening or unsure about what they were watching in terms of the story line, they would still be engaged visually, viscerally,” says Chung. Aeon Flux plotlines have long been known to be what Chung describes as “morally ambiguous” and could sometimes be confusing. But it’s all a way to draw people into the show. While that kinkiness can be subversive, at times it can be overt: In one episode, Aeon wears a chastity belt, which leaves little (or a lot!) to the imagination. “I’m sure some of this was venting and putting in gratuitous kinkiness,” he says. For him, Aeon Flux was a way to push himself in ways that he had been limited before, which ultimately trickled into the look of the character. Aeon’s brazen sauciness has to do with creator Peter Chung’s prior experiences working in children’s television. ![]() ![]() The _init_ method handles setting up a session for Notion requests, while query_database allows us to make paginated requests against a Notion database. In this case, we only need to query a database. Set up the Notion Client #Īs we’ve done in other tutorials, well make a NotionClient class to handle the Notion requests. In this tutorial, we’ll work with 3 classes - a NotionClient, handling the Notion queries, PandasConverter, handling conversion of the Notion responses into Pandas datatypes, and PandasLoader, which uses the client and converter to create a DataFrame out of the items in a database. Work with Pandas is often done interactively in a Jupyter notebook, so I’ve set up the full code example, with some bonus data analysis, as a notebook on GitHub Gists! Jupyter also comes with the Anaconda distribution, if that’s how you’ve gotten Pandas, and will also include requests, the other library we use in this tutorial. Pandas offers a load_json function to load data from a JSON format, however, the format provided by Notion doesn’t match very closely with any of the formats Pandas understands, so we’ll do some pre-processing and use the Pandas DataFrame constructor. On Windows, you may want to use the () to simplify installing the Python data science stack. ⚠️ This post assumes you already have Pandas installed and have some basic familiarity with it. Pandas can also be used as an intermediate format to output to Excel and CSV, however, if you just want to do conversion it may be better to do that directly. Pandas loads data into a Numpy backed structure called a DataFrame, which makes column and row based analysis and aggregation on mixed data types much easier. While Notion can handle some simple sums and averages, you might want to use Pandas to do more advanced analytical work on data stored in a Notion database, like visualizations or even use data from Notion for machine learning. Pandas is a popular data manipulation and analysis library in Python. ![]() Step 2: Enter " Troubleshooting" in the search blank and then the result will appear. Step 1: Open the Control Panel in your computer. Follow the below steps to run the troubleshooter: When you are facing the Windows Scan and Fax not detecting scanner issue, you can run the Windows 10 built-in Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the exact issue. Method 2: Run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter If it still persists, move on to the next method. ![]() ![]() If you have checked all the above points that deserve your attention, you can see if the error message still persists. Therefore, when you encounter the issue that no scanners were detected by Windows Fax and Scan, you can try to disconnect the scanner and then plug it into a different USB port to see if it works. Sometimes the cause of this error may lie in the USB port problem. In addition, in order to avoid the cables faulty, plug in the cables correctly and firmly at the both ends to enable them to work properly. In order to make sure that the scanner is powered on, you need check whether you have plugged the scanner to the power source and then make sure you have turned on the switch button to connect the scanner to power supply. If the scanner is turned off, the computer can't connect to it correctly, which will cause the "No scanner were detected" issue appearing. How to do that? You should:Īttention 1: Check the cables and power supply. Therefore, you should carefully check your scanner's setup. If you are prompted that Windows 10 Fax and Scan not detecting scanner, there may be something wrong with the setup of your scanner.
