The St Mark's Clock was assembled in 1493, by the famous clockmaker Gian Carlo Rainieri from Reggio Emilia, where his father Gian Paolo Rainieri had already constructed another famous device in 1481. The most famous original striking clock tower still standing is possibly the one in St Mark's Clocktower in St Mark's Square, Venice. įrom the 14th century, some clock towers in Western Europe were also capable of chiming at a fixed time every day the earliest of these was described by the Florentine writer Dante Alighieri in 1319. In 1235, an early monumental water-powered alarm clock that "announced the appointed hours of prayer and the time both by day and by night" was completed in the entrance hall of the Mustansiriya Madrasah in Baghdad. It is the subject of a book, On the Construction of Clocks and their Use (1203), by Riḍwān ibn al-Sāʿātī, the son of clockmaker. A striking clock outside of China was the water-powered clock tower near the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria, which struck once every hour. The Chinese engineers Zhang Sixun and Su Song integrated striking clock mechanisms in astronomical clocks in the 10th and 11th centuries, respectively. In China, a striking clock was devised by the Buddhist monk and inventor Yi Xing (683–727). The Christian rhetorician Procopius described in detail prior to 529 a complex public striking clock in his home town Gaza which featured an hourly gong and figures moving mechanically day and night. 485–585) advocated in his rulebook for monastic life the water clock as a useful alarm for the "soldiers of Christ" (Cassiod. 285–222 BC) fitted his clepsydras with dial and pointer for indicating the time, and added elaborate "alarm systems, which could be made to drop pebbles on a gong, or blow trumpets (by forcing bell-jars down into water and taking the compressed air through a beating reed) at pre-set times" ( Vitruv 11.11). The Hellenistic engineer and inventor Ctesibius ( fl. The ancient Greek philosopher Plato (428–348 BC) was said to possess a large water clock with an unspecified alarm signal similar to the sound of a water organ he used it at night, possibly for signaling the beginning of his lectures at dawn ( Athenaeus 4.174c). History The Obelisk of Theodosius, detail of the pedestal: Theodosius I offers laurels of victory we can see the water organ of Ctesibius, in the lower right-hand corner. ![]() Simple battery-powered alarm clocks make a loud buzzing, ringing or beeping sound to wake a sleeper, while novelty alarm clocks can speak, laugh, sing, or play sounds from nature. Digital ĭigital alarm clocks can make other noises. In an electronically operated bell-type alarm clock, the bell is rung by an electromagnetic circuit with an armature that turns the circuit on and off repeatedly. In some models, the metal cover at back of the clock itself also functions as the bell. Traditional mechanical alarm clocks have one or two bells that ring by means of a mainspring that powers a gear to quickly move a hammer back and forth between the two bells or between the internal sides of a single bell. Most modern televisions, computers, mobile phones and digital watches have alarm functions that automatically turn on or sound alerts at a specific time. A progressive alarm clock can have different alarms for different times (see next-generation alarms) and play music of the user's choice. Additionally, some alarm clocks can set multiple alarms. Many alarm clocks have radio receivers that can be set to start playing at specified times, and are known as clock radios. Alarm clock functions are also used in mobile phones, watches, and computers. ![]() A classic analog alarm clock has an extra hand or inset dial that is used to show the time at which the alarm will ring. To turn off the sound or light, a button or handle on the clock is pressed most clocks automatically turn off the alarm if left unattended long enough. ![]() Some have sensors to identify when a person is in a light stage of sleep, in order to avoid waking someone who is deeply asleep, which causes tiredness, even if the person has had adequate sleep. Most alarm clocks make sounds some make light or vibration. The primary function of these clocks is to awaken people from their night's sleep or short naps they can sometimes be used for other reminders as well. A traditional wind-up (key-wound), mechanical spring-powered alarm clockĪn alarm clock or alarm is a clock that is designed to alert an individual or group of people at a specified time.

The diodes cause a voltage drop before the 13.7 v makes it to the batteries. Sure Power uses diodes to isolate the batteries. The sensing location is INSIDE the alternator. ![]() What happens is that the voltage regulator is measuring the alternator's output voltage to give a correct 13.7 v charge to the system. The Land Cruiser's alternators are not the 'special type' that work with the isolator. I even called several times to ensure I got a different tech to confirm. (Looking at the wiring diagrams for both the 60 and 62's shows the external wiring is the same.) I spoke to Sure Power's tech reps. I spent a lot of time trying to do on a 60 what you are trying to do on a 62. The packaging says it's specially made for Toyota internally regulated alternators.

The latter aside, the interior does feel quieter than before. The six-speed automatic transmission did, however, at times, feel reluctant to shift to a higher gear, which resulted in some engine noise permeating the cabin. The steering feels light though not disconnected, making it a trouble-free task to tilt the thick-rimmed tiller and steer the double-cab in the desired direction. The DAC function made light work of the incline as the double cab descended.įollowing in the Legend 50 lead car’s tyre tracks, I noticed the upgraded Legend’s torsion beam suspension going about its job as we traversed rocks and other off-road obstacles, which included driving through some water and on steep side angles. With the Hilux’s revised nose tipped over the apex of the hill and now pointed downwards, I remove my feet from the throttle and brake pedal (a feeling I admittedly still need to get used to) and left the bakkie to its own devices the only human input required – steering. With downhill-assist control (DAC) activated and a gentle push on the throttle, I steered the Hilux to the peak. Although commendable, there was a definite improvement on the latter bakkie’s setup, with the Legend finding traction quicker.ĭownhill, the Hilux Legend impressed, too. While ascending a steep hill on the off-road course, a Toyota representative mentions the traction-control setup has been updated, too, and showcased how the system has improved in the facelifted model by putting the Legend 50 on the same incline. An animated graphic of the Hilux appears on the standard trip computer’s display. With the press of a button, the Hilux’s engine starts churning. And this should, as Toyota claims, translate to enhanced on-road comfort and refinement as the Japanese firm says these modifications have also resulted in improved NVH levels. Thanks to these revisions, the double-cab Hilux felt more at ease when traversing the rough stuff. In addition to these upgrades, the Hilux has received various under-the-skin modifications, such as retuned coil-spring rates, revised shock absorbers and suspension bushes. Thanks to the increases of 20 kW and 50 N.m in engine output, the Hilux Legend AT now more closely matches its closest rival, the Ford Ranger Thunder (and Wildtrak), which employs a 2,0-litre twin-turbo diesel motor producing 157 kW and 500 N.m. Making do with the same number of cogs, manual models’ torque output, however, remains 420 N.m. DYdPykFMgaĮndowed with an uprated version of Toyota’s 2,8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine, the Hilux now produces 150 kW and, when mated with a six-speed automatic transmission (as with the press unit we drove), 500 N.m of torque, the latter available between 1 600 and 2 800 r/min. The electrically operated roller shutter of the Legend RS 2,8 GD-6 4×4. In addition to this package, Toyota South Africa Motors offers an array of other optional (official) accessories for the Hilux. Currently available on only 2,8 GD-6 4×4 Legend derivatives, the RS accessory package adds a motorised roller shutter, which is linked to the bakkie’s central-locking system a graphite-coloured sportsbar a dust-defence kit and 12 V socket and LED lighting located in the no-cost (on Legend models) rubberised loading bed.Īccessing the latter is a cinch, thanks to the Legend’s easy-lift tailgate. ![]() Although the Hilux’s oil-burner has been tweaked to deliver more power (more on that later), in this case “RS” stands for “roller shutter”. Thank you to Legend Suspensions for producing great products.You’d be mistaken if you thought the “RS” denomination is at all to do with anything performance related. ![]() Thank you to Al Santiago at High Strength V Twin in Harrisburg, Pa. The old adage is "you get what you pay for." With Legend suspension products I got way more than I paid for. I simply turn my head and the bike leans and goes where I look. Cornering in general has exponentially improved. The front drop ins have eliminated the friction point usually associated with low-speed cornering. The improvement in handling, cornering, and ride are amazing. ![]() My wife thought I also put a new softer seat on the bike. The ride improvement provided by the RevoA rear shocks is awesome. The mechanic who suggested then told me "A Legend suspension will change your world." He was right. I recently had a full suspension upgrade using Legend AXEO front and RevoA rear suspension components. ![]() Together with Jiffy Lube coupons availability, this is the type of service you want for your valued vehicle.

![]() I simply hold the color chip up the wood and look at two important things.Įvery wood has two parts, the grain and the sap wood and you have to match both of these to make your color match work which may take a combination of multiple stains. Using their color chip fan wheel I can get a very close approximation of what color wood stain I will need. They have been around for decades and with their recently revamped formula I still get the same 36 color options, but I also get a 2-hour drying time which is a major help in finishing my projects on time. There are a lot of stain colors and brands out there, and ever since I have started I have been a pretty consistent user of Minwax’s oil-based stains. You can read more about the differences between regular and spar polyurethane here. A spar urethane is designed to have more UV resistance and flexibility to resist exterior conditions. On these doors I am using Minwax Helmsman’s Spar Urethane since they will be exposed to the elements. oil-based polyurethanes add a warm amber color to your work whereas water-based polycrylics are perfectly clear and can make the finish seem cooler. You need to know what finish you are using prior to using any stain because some finishes add a bit of color. What are you finishing your project with? Is it oil-based poly, water based polycrylic, wax, oil, etc. Once you’re finished with your sanding use a tack cloth to remove every bit of dust in preparation for staining. Start with a 40 to 60-grit for removal of the old finish and then move to 80-grit followed by 120-grit. Make sure that you work up methodically through each grit along the way to avoid swirl marks or sanding flaws. Keeping your final grit in this range allows for even distribution of the wood stain pigments. I have found that the sweet spot for wood stain is between 120-150 grit depending on the wood. Sanding to too fine a grit will result in wood that may not even be able to take in the pigments efficiently since the openings are too small. Sanding wood too coarsely will create a darker appearance since there are larger pores and a rougher surface in the wood. When using wood stain it’s imperative to sand to the right grit. ![]() The opinions are completely my own and I have been using these products and techniques long before partnering with Minwax for this post. This post was sponsored by Minwax who makes, in my opinion, the best wood stains for historic restoration. In this post, I’ll walk you through five of my best tips and techniques to achieve that perfect color match you are looking for. I’ve worked in historic restoration restoring wood doors and windows for years and if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s how to creatively use wood stains and finishes to get a perfect looking match. Matching an existing wood stain to make sure your work doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb requires a good eye and some careful work. If you’ve got a stained wood project that you need to perhaps repair or refinish and you need to match the stain colors it can be challenging to say the least. Read on to see how Fauxnique goes from girl to glamazon and to hear her discuss how her interest in this transformative world began, how people react to what she does, and what women can learn from the art of drag. This sounds like a total no-no tip, but leaving the ends of your false lash strip free. Here, we caught up with the fierce and fiercely intelligent queen while she was transforming step-by-step into her stage persona. Secure lashes to the center of your upper lash line, leaving the ends to flutter freely. DeCaro traces the modern drag movement back to Julian Eltinge, an American vaudeville performer, singer and actor in the early 20th century.Eltinge sang as a female impersonator, or 'femme mimic. Today, the one and only Fauxnique is considered somewhat of a legend in the drag community, where she has performed all across the country and even internationally, including in Iceland, Amsterdam, London, and Rome. ![]() From shimmering highlighter to inches-long eyelashes, drag performers are to thank for beauty as we know it today. ![]() Born a biological female, Monique was classically trained as a ballerina and a contemporary dancer before she decided to heighten her performance through dressing in drag. A drag queen is a person, usually male, who uses drag clothing and makeup to imitate and often exaggerate female gender signifiers and gender roles for entertainment purposes. Drag makeup is arguably the most influential craft behind women’s makeup trends, runway model looks and even some cartoon characters like Ursula from Disney’s Little Mermaid. San Francisco resident Monique Jenkinson has been performing as her alter ego, Fauxnique, since 2003. Then recently, we met a woman who explained to us that not only could we become the drag queen of our dreams, but she even identifies as one herself. In fact, we love them so much that we've even had conversations about wanting to be them. Next, apply rubbing alcohol to the spots on your face where you’ll be applying tape.

San Francisco female queens (from left: Kegal Kater, L'Ron Hubby, Trixxie Carr, Fauxnique, Hoku Mama Swamp, and Holy McGrail) at the Trannyshack Kiss Off. It's no secret how much we adore drag queens. Shaving is important (unless you’re a gender-bending queen who wants a five, six, or seven o’clock shadow), so start with a clean face. Holy McGrail is a female queen and nightlife socialite in San Francisco making her debut in 2005, Holy is known for her outrageous self made wigs, signature makeup and drag performances.

These maps do not have a particular terrain as a dominant one but still have different characteristics.I have been designing video games for 20 years. The map type is always shown on the debt counter screen and scan counter screen if you are not using the reveal map mode, so it is possible to assume what resources you are going to encounter in larger quantities right at the start of the game. The maps the belong in this category are (with corresponding terrain type and resource): These maps can be divided into 2 different categories:Įach of these maps has a particular terrain type in abundance which guarantees that presence of a particular resource is plentiful. There's a total of 10 different map types that a player can choose to play on (other than the random option which simply picks one of the 10). Multiple resources can spawn on a single tile, but there are some combinations that have reduced probabilities to appear, as some resources have an added probability to avoid tiles with specific other resources already present, such as Iron/ Water.īase Appearance Probabilities Resource Resources have a fixed base probability of spawning on any usable land tile, with terrain types being added in as bonuses. Usually - the more hills, the fewer resources. Hills are similar to canyons in that they only limit the space, however, hills also tend to affect the presence of resources on the map. Also, the larger the amount of slopes next to a usable tile, the stronger the wind on it.Ĭanyons are the large pits that serve no particular value other than limit the space on the map. Unless it's a crater (2 adjacent rings of slopes), slopes are a transition between the layers of the map. Slopes - these are the tiles influence the height and wind strength parameters of adjacent tiles. Lakebeds and Riverbeds both provide water.Ĭracks do not have any particular resource that they hold, other than geothermal vents. Maps with a lot of Volcanic usually tend to have a plenty of geothermal vents. ![]() Volcanic terrain is the main source of iron tiles in the game. ![]() It is usable (you can build on top of it), however it does not contribute towards resource generation in any meaningful way. Normal terrain does not have any specific features. These can be usable and unusable (based on whether or not you can build over it or not). There are 11 terrain types in the game: Normal, Volcanic, Rocky, Sand, Lakebeds, Riverbeds, Crater, Crack, Slope, Canyon, Hill. The size of a hex is the same across map types at 8.66 distance units wide and 6.495 distance units tall. There are 5 map sizes available: Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, and Huge.
