Domestic longhair grey tabby kitten10/31/2023 Persian cats are usually seen with fuzzy ear tufts and ear furnishings. They have a big, flat, snub-nosed face appearance with a thick, double silky coat which makes this breed so famous. The cats of this breed are somewhat blessed and cursed in terms of their unique appearance. If you are a big cat fan, then you may have already heard the name of the cat breed - Persian cats. Heightīi-color, Solid, Tabby, Calico/Tri-Color, Color PointĬhocolate/Brown/Sable, Cinnamon, Lavender/Silver, Fawn, Blue/Gray, Black/Ebony, Cream/Beige/Tan, Lilac, Red/Orange, White The result was a kitten that inherited the distinctive short tail and caught the eye of many cat fanciers, who saw the chance of a new breed of cats. This brown tabby kitten later mated with the founder’s non-pedigreed domestic color point cat. When they came back home, they brought a brown tabby kitten with a short tail, whom they found during their journey. The evolution of the breed started in the late 1960s, when - the breed founders - John and Brenda Sanders, were holidaying around the American southwest. The overall foundation of American Bobtail lies in feral domestic cats that had natural bobtails. They are also short-hair and long-hair coat variants, which are rather shaggy than dense or fluffy. And similar to the serval cats, caracal cats can also jump up to a height range of 12ft. Moreover, they are mainly a nocturnal kind and are secretive and hard to find. These types of cats are usually seen in the wild, and they mainly live alone, or they can be found in pairs. These cats are characterized by a sturdy build, extended legs, a small face, long tufted ears, and long canine teeth. Here’s another wild cat that is native to Africa and some parts of Asia. Likewise, the ear tufts are just another great additional feature to these energetic wild cats. ![]() They are known to use their ears more than their eyes. Serval cats can pretty much hear even the smaller chirp on the savanna. Moreover, they have large ears, and they are sometimes referred to as “ radar dishes” to locate food in the wild. These cats are known to jump as high as 12 ft to catch birds in mid-air. One of the distinct features of these cats is their jumbo ears, just like their long legs. As for the cat’s ears, Turkish Van cats have brown, black, gray, and red ears that are usually the same color as their tail. And during the time of summer, these cats shed their hair and this leaves a short, light coat. In fact, they have two different lengths of hair depending on the time of the season.ĭuring the time of the winter, a Turkish Van cat would have thick and long hair. The cats from this breed have semi-long hair. The Turkish Van cat breed is known to have originated in the mountains of modern-day Turkey.

However, they appear pointy due to the long ear tufts. ![]() The ears of Siberian cats seem to have rounded edges, but that is not true.

Mesh router reviews10/31/2023 ![]() ![]() You’ll get the best performance out of newer Wi-Fi 6 devices, but it also takes the much more common Wi-Fi 5 devices. This offers the same great coverage as the classic Orbi system but significantly boosts the speed and the number of devices it can handle. It doesn’t come cheap, and if we’re being honest, it’s probably more than you need right now, but this one is more about investing for the future. ![]() We’re already big fans of Netgear’s Orbi-one of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems you can buy-and now there’s a version with the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology that pulls out all the stops to give you incredible performance throughout your home. Wireless Spec: 802.11ax | Security: AiProtection, WPA3, Guest Wi-Fi Secure Access | Standard/Speed: AX11000 | Bands: Tri-band | MU-MIMO: Yes | Beamforming: Yes | Wired Ports: 5 As a gaming router, however, it also has many special tricks to give you the fastest performance, and while you can read all the details in our full review, suffice it to say this is a router that will genuinely help you up your game. Like other Asus routers, this one has features, but it tucks them away for those who want to get up and running with the basics quickly. And there's still power and range to spare for everyone else in your home, with the eight antennas covering a three-story, five-bedroom home. This allows it to handle all the demands of gaming traffic, delivering a lag-free performance that means you won't see everything freezing up just as you're about to make that critical shot. Yes, this router looks like a beast, but it also has the performance to match, with the power of a desktop computer packed inside. Wireless Spec: 802.11ac | Security: WPA2, Guest Wi-Fi Secure Access | Standard/Speed: AC1900 | Bands: Dual-band | MU-MIMO: Yes | Beamforming: Yes | Wired Ports: 4 So, if you have a busy family, this probably isn’t the router for you. The only downside is that it struggles with multiple devices streaming and gaming. While this means TP-Link had to cut a few corners on some of the advanced features, it still manages to handle the important things like basic parental controls and a quick and easy setup through its mobile app. This router packs a surprising amount of performance-boosting technology for a router in its price range. While the Archer C80 doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive routers on our list, it delivers where it counts, punching out a surprisingly powerful signal to reach the far corners of your home. Picking out an affordable router that delivers excellent range can be tricky, but fortunately, there’s TP-Link’s Archer C80, a rare gem that will give you solid coverage around a large home with a price tag that won’t be too hard on your wallet. Wireless Spec: 802.11ax | Security: WPA3, Guest Wi-Fi Secure Access | Standard/Speed: AX4200 | Bands: Tri-band | MU-MIMO: Yes | Beamforming: Yes | Wired Ports: 4 (per unit) You also get plenty of wired ports on each unit for hooking up devices that don’t have Wi-Fi, and even a USB port so you can conveniently pop in a flash drive with your favorite photos so everyone in your home can access them. Like most mesh Wi-Fi systems, you’ll drop the Velop units in critical areas around your home to give you the best coverage where you need it. Thanks to Linksys ' mobile app, it’s also a cinch to set up. This Velop Wi-Fi 6 system provides the best range of any mesh system in its class, with three units able to handle homes of up to 8,100 square feet. Linksys isn’t cutting any corners on performance despite the more affordable price. So, while you’re not going to find an excellent mesh system on the cheap, Linksys’ Velop MX12600 comes close, giving you three mesh units for about the same price that most others charge for only two. Requires mobile app for initial mesh set upĪlthough mesh Wi-Fi systems provide fantastic coverage, they can get pricey. Cyrillic to english transliteration10/31/2023 ![]() A separate "y" letter is relatively recent in Mongolian script, entering from Manchu, and even 1930s pubs from Ulaanbaatar have, for example, "jokiyal" written without a distinct "y" letter. The chief culprit has been the intervocalic "y". LoC transcriptions have many wrong transliterations of Mongolian. The situation is even worse for Eleuth, Jebtsundampa, Hohhot, and so forth. The correct transcription of this is actually Khoshud (or Qošud, if you insist on a diacritical), or else Khoshoud in the Clear Script, or Khoshuud in Cyrillic. Now, you could “fix” this to Khoshot or something like that, but the problem is, it would still be wrong. For example, most of the spellings you will encounter as a Tibetanist have no basis in Mongolian. This includes simply fabricating transliterations, simplifying established systems without documentation, spelling it according to a Russian-influenced pronunciation, and so forth. While there are solid transliteration systems in place for both the Mongolian and Cyrillic scripts, the problem is that most people either don’t use them, or use them erroneously. It thus would be useful to have phonetic spellings for use with place names and personal names in texts outside of the bibliography, but at present there is not a well established system. In addition, there are sharper political boundaries between the various dialect groups (Inner Mongolia, Mongolia, Buriats, Oirats) of the Mongols compared to the Tibetan dialect groups. For example, the place name Shira Naghur is actually pronounced Shara Nuur or Shar Nuur depending on the dialect. The divergence between orthography and pronunciation for Mongolian is less than for Tibetan, since the orthography was fixed in the thirteenth century, quite a bit later than Tibetan. There is a marked divergence with the former between orthography and pronunciation, since the spelling is based upon archaic pronunciation. In Inner Mongolia within China, the vertical script is still used, but in the nation of Mongolia, Cyrillic remains more standard. Mongolian is traditionally written in the vertical (Uyghur-Mongolian) script, but in the twentieth century in Mongolia itself has come to be more frequently written with the Cyrillic script.

Drop zone paint ball10/31/2023 ![]() ![]() While chronographs used to be really expensive, you can now pick up a good one for less than $100.īeing a conscientious father, I went into the garage and retrieved my shooting chronograph to measure just how fast those little paintballs were traveling out of the barrel. There are also radar chronographs, such as the kind law enforcement officers carry to look for speeders. Well, you can't, unless you have a chronograph, which measures the time an object passes between two sensors and calculates the speed in feet per second, miles per hour or whatever measurement standard it is programmed to clock. You're probably wondering how you check the velocity of paintballs. The instructions stated to never shoot someone with the marker set higher than 300 fps because serious injury or death could occur. The packs included a marker (also known as the paintball gun), mask, safety plug for the barrel and carbon dioxide (CO2) bottle. (Just for reference, 300 fps equals 200 mph.) Still, I went out and spent $200 for two starter packs that had everything we'd need to play paintball, or so I thought. I figured my son would probably want to quit the first time he got hit with one of those gelatin balls traveling at 300 feet per second. I read some things about the sport and learned a lot of new paintball-specific rules. My son kept bugging me about paintball and I eventually gave in to him. I thought the paintball guns were frustratingly inaccurate, expensive and unsafe. I'd experienced paintball several years earlier at a competitive pistol shooting event and really didn't care for it. (July 20, 2016) - So your 10-year-old comes to you and says, "Dad/Mom, I want to play paintball." How would you respond? I found myself in that exact situation a few years ago, and I'll admit my initial response wasn't the greatest. Most popular substack newsletters10/31/2023 When looking at the originating source, we find that across ten selected countries, 4 over half (53%) of those who get news emails receive them from mainstream media organisations. Most newsletters come from the mainstream media, not from solo operators More than 80% of all of those in the United States who use email for news are 35 or older. But only 3% of 18–24s rely on email access as a main source compared with 41% for the same group who say social media. One in seven (15%) of over 55s in the United States say email is their main way of accessing news – about the same as say social media. It is important to note that email news is valued mainly by older, richer, and more educated news consumers, most of whom are already deeply invested in news. In the United States, weekly use has fallen slightly from 27% to 22% since 2014 as the use of mobile alerts has tripled from 6% to 20% and social media access has also grown. This may be because their stronger brand connections – with users more likely to go directly to website and apps – mean that publishers feel there is less need to push content to audiences.ĭespite the increase in the supply of newsletters in the last few years, the proportion accessing them has actually fallen in many countries, in part because of increased competition from newer channels such as social media, online aggregators, and news alerts via mobile phones. Austria (24%), Belgium (23%) and Portugal (22%) also have surprisingly high email usage, but Norway (11%) and the UK (9%) have some of the lowest levels. In the United States, 22% use newsletters or email alerts, with almost half of them (10%) saying it is their main way of accessing digital news. Our Digital News Report data show that email newsletters remain an important channel across countries, with an average of 17% using them weekly. ![]() Listen on: Spotify | Apple | Google Weekly email consumption In what ways can this low-tech and often unfashionable medium help build or support sustainable journalism? An episode on the chapter ![]() More widely, we wanted to understand more about the appeal of newsletters in general. Much of this recent free and paid newsletter activity has been focused on the United States, but we were keen to know if this had extended elsewhere. The New York Times, for example, now produces 50 different emails read by 15 million people a week. ![]() 2 Meanwhile, mainstream news organisations have been shifting resources into email production as they try to attract new subscribers, build loyalty with existing users, and introduce more personalisation into their digital products (Jack 2016 Newman et al. 1 At the same time, digital-born brands such as Politico and Axios have found that smart, journalist-curated emails have been a key driver of growth for businesses which cover a range of niches from politics to health, technology, sports, and local. ![]() A number of high-profile columnists have left big news organisations to run newsletter-based businesses, with a few of the most successful earning salaries in the high six figures. In the last few years, the emergence of paid newsletter platforms, such as Substack, Revue, and Bulletin, have opened up new opportunities for individuals and small publishers to distribute and monetise content. Kaplan mcat practice test10/31/2023 ![]() High-quality graphics for learning difficult concepts.I find this a bit deceptive, as you get some 2nd and some 3rd editions at a price suggesting it’s updated for 2023. Unfortunately, when TPR offers an updated book set, they blend new and old editions of books together. The Princeton Review MCAT book set is like Kaplan’s in that they offer a new book set each year. This book set by The Princeton Review provides more in-depth information on principles than Kaplan’s book set, which can be either good or bad, depending on how much new knowledge you’re looking to gain versus review. The difference in these two book sets, however, is in the amount of content covered. You pretty much get the same content as the Kaplan MCAT book set: 3 full-length MCAT practice tests, end-of-chapter review, easy reference glossaries, full-color illustrations and diagrams, and online student tools. ![]() It’s written by real teachers and includes a bit more humor than you’d find in Kaplan’s book set (which is a pretty low bar).

Medieval torture devices10/31/2023 Since the victims had usually been previously tortured with the rack or some other method, the pain must have been unimaginable. It usually took about a half an hour before the victim lost consciousness, but if it was windy and the fire was blowing away from the victim, he or she might have to endure up to two hours of being slowly burned to death. Conceptually, it's a very simple process - create a pile of dry wood with a stake at the center to tie the victim to, and then light it. Ann Ronan Picture Library/Photo12/Universal Images Group via Getty Imagesīeing burned at the stake was usually the last stop for torture victims, because this form of torture was invariably fatal. This illustration shows the burning of Dutch Anabaptists Maria and Ursula van Beckum in 1544. Īnabaptist leaders and teachers were often burned at the stake for their "heretical" religious beliefs. The victim might be alive for hours, enduring the agony of his or her mangled arms and legs and the relentless sun, not to mention the attentions of crows. Finally, the wheel would be attached to the top of a tall wooden pole and left out in the sun for days. Then, the shattered limbs were threaded through the spokes of a large wheel. The victim would have the bones in all four limbs broken in two places by strikes from an iron bar. One of the most horrible wheel tortures was akin to crucifixion. The difference was likely immaterial to the victims. Instead of swinging, the wheel might turn on an axle. The wheel itself could also have spikes mounted on it, so the pain came from all directions. The victim would be tied to the wheel, and then swung across some undesirable thing below - fire was always a good choice, but dragging the victim's flesh across metal spikes also worked well. A more elaborate method involved a wheel mounted to an A-frame that allowed it to swing freely. Early torturers were fond of tying someone to a large wooden wheel, then pushing it down a rocky hillside. They could be part of a stretching rack, but medieval torturers were far too creative to leave it at that. Wheels were adapted to many torturous uses. Torquemada, the infamous torturer of the Spanish Inquisition, was known to favor a stretching rack known as a potro, where the victim was bound to a ladder and water continually poured in his mouth so as to simulate drowning. He or she was stretched until his or her joints dislocated, then left there or slackened and allowed to hang underneath the horse while an inquisitor or judge questioned the victim and tried to get a confession. ![]() Pulleys below tightened ropes affixed to the victim's hands and feet. ![]() ![]() The victim was tied to a beam on the top (the horse's "back"), facing up. It was a wooden device that vaguely resembled an actual horse in shape. Eventually, the fire was extinguished by the downpour of blood as the victim's limbs were torn free. A fire was lit beneath the wheel, adding to the torture. In one story, a Christian youth was tied to a wheel and his joints destroyed by the stretching. Such torture was known as being "broken on the rack," "racked" or "stretched on the rack." It could be combined with other forms of torture to make things even more painful. Continued pressure could cause the limbs to be torn right off. It came in many forms, but here's the basic idea: The victim was tied down while some mechanical device, usually a crank or turning wheel, tightened the ropes, stretching the victim's body until the joints were dislocated. The rack was used throughout Europe for centuries. Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images This took place in 1558 during the reign of the Catholic Queen Mary of England. Cuthbert Simpson was tortured on the rack in the Tower of London for his Protestant beliefs before being burned at the stake.
