![]() So, here’s how to find the best gas mask for prepping. If you just plain think they are cool and want your gas mask to be functional too.If you have two competing hazards and you don’t want to carry two kinds of masks.If you have a specialized use for a gas mask (like you live nearby a manufacturing plant or a volcano or something).If you’re worried about being caught amid civil unrest.That being said, there are plenty of good reasons to buy a gas mask, including: General debris/smoke: if a nearby building has collapsed or caught on fire, an N95, or even a wet rag, is good protection as you flee the scene.Epidemics and pandemics: There’s a range of protection for these situations, depending on how the illness spreads from a simple N95 mask, to the addition of eye protection, to the addition of a Tyvek suit.Firefighters wear SCBAs, which deliver oxygen directly to them.Īt the same time, there are hazards that gas masks can protect you from, but which cheaper, thinner, or single-use respirators or plain masks will also protect you from. Serious fires/thick smoke: The same principle applies here, gas masks don’t supply oxygen.At some point, there would be no oxygen to breathe, and gas masks don’t supply oxygen. If you stood in your basement when mustard gas had been released, for example, the gas would start to sink below the oxygen and push it up. Most hazardous gas is either lighter or heavier than oxygen and will concentrate on the ground or disperse in the atmosphere. Gases that are collecting in your area: Whenever you put a gas mask on you also need to be getting to high ground/away from the gas.Nuclear radiation/fallout: Because they also absorb through the skin. ![]()

![]() Eddie is more likely to be self-sacrificing when shit goes down. Gaby always came off as just very selfish and self centered unlike Edie were I felt some sympathy for her.īetween edie and gaby, I will rather have edie as a friend.

![]() ![]() Latin for beaver tail and similarity to the otter. These teeth are very similar to the teeth seen in mesonychids, an extinct group of semi-aquatic carnivorous ungulates, and resemble, to a lesser degree, the teeth of seals. Its likely lifestyle - burrowing in tunnels on shore and dog-paddling in water - reminds scientists of the modern platypus. These first molars were also recurved in a manner designed to hold slippery prey once grasped. This feature of three cusps in a row is similar to the ancestral condition in mammal relatives (as seen in triconodonts), but is almost certainly a derived character in Castorocauda. The Platypus uses its tail for storage of fat reserves (an adaptation also found in animals such as the Tasmanian Devil and fat-tailed sheep). ![]() Folds of skin cover their eyes and ears to prevent water from entering, and the nostrils close with a watertight seal. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes. Platypuses hunt underwater, where they swim gracefully by paddling with their front webbed feet and steering with their hind feet and beaverlike tail. The first two molars had cusps in a straight row, eliminating the grinding function suggesting that they were strictly for gripping and not for chewing. 43-50 cm inch The platypus ( Ornithorhynchus anatinus ), sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic, egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. The teeth of Castorocauda suggest that the animal was a piscivore, feeding on fish and small invertebrates. The discovery of the fossil of a platypus-like creature in China is rewriting Jurassic history. Most docodonts had teeth specialized for an omnivorous diet. The teeth of Castorocauda are different in many ways from all other docodonts, presumably due to a difference in diet. Docodonts in general have distinctive teeth, and the teeth of Castorocauda have the distinguishing features of the group. The platypus is a bottom-feeder that uses its beaver-like tail to steer and its webbed feet to propel itself through the water while hunting for insects, shellfish, and worms. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, where would we get the logs? And how good is it to burn such a fire and contribute to Los Angeles’ already smog choked air? We started to build the base for one and then began to think about how often we would actually build a fire, especially considering that it has to burn for several hours before a cob oven gets hot enough to cook in. There’s a trend in the eco-world to build cob ovens and we felt a certain pressure to keep up with the eco-Joneses. There’s no need to cut down a tree to cook your dinner–all you need is a few small branches or twigs.īefore we built the rocket stove we considered making a cob oven, a mud domed wood fired oven in which you can cook bread and pizza. The chimney effect creates a highly efficient, largely smoke-free burn. Rocket stoves can be built out of metal or masonry and consist of a L shaped tube, at the bottom of which you place your wood. ![]() The rocket stove was developed for use in poor nations where wood used for cooking has led to the vast, wholesale, deforestation of large swaths of the earth’s surface. We liked the idea so much that we decided to build a permanent one just off our back deck for entertaining and as a backup to our gas stove should an emergency take out our utilities. Low-tech is the new high-tech, and the best example of the low-tech revolution is the miraculous rocket stove–a stove that makes it possible to cook with small twigs–no logs needed! Best of all rocket stoves are easy to build. ![]() ![]() They thought that the card's connections to French colonial rule of Vietnam and putative symbolism in Vietnamese tradition to mean death and ill-fortune would frighten and demoralise Viet Cong soldiers. Battalions within the regiments were denoted with tic marks or dots, struck from top clockwise: headquarters at the twelve o'clock position, 1st Battalion at the three o'clock, etc.ĭuring the Vietnam War, the ace of spades was used a tool of psychological warfare as it was common practice by US soldiers to leave the ace card on the bodies of killed Vietnamese. Following the confusion of a large-scale combat airborne operation, all four card-suits were used for ease of identification of regiments within the airborne division. In this capacity, it was used to represent good luck, due to its fortunate connotations in card playing. In World War II, the soldiers of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the American 101st Airborne Division were marked with the spades symbol painted on the sides of their helmets. In the Second World War, the 25th Infantry Division of the Indian Army used an Ace of Spades on a green background as their insignia. In the First World War, the 12th (Eastern) Division of the British Army used the Ace of spades symbol as their insignia. The ace of spades has been employed on several occasions in the theatre of war. Discuss and resolve this issue before removing this message. Please help to create a more balanced presentation.

His ace design was adorned with male and female figures leaning onto the spade from either side. design patent US0D0013473 for his design. For example, on 5 December 1882, George G. The exact design of the ace card was so important, it eventually became the subject of design patents and trademarking. ![]() Since 1882, an annual pack of cards has been produced by the Worshipful Company of Makers of Playing Cards at the installation of each master and since 1888, a portrait of the Master has appeared at the centre of the ace of spades. The ace of spades is thus used to show the card manufacturer's information. The system was changed again in 1862 when official threepenny duty wrappers were introduced and although the makers were free to use whatever design they wanted, most chose to keep the ornate ace of spades that is popular today. The association of the ace of spades with death may spring from such events. This was a capital offence, the prosecutor the Attorney General Spencer Perceval (later to become the prime minister assassinated in 1812) obtained the conviction of Richard Harding and he was hanged in 1805. ![]() One maker of cards was caught in possession of forged aces and the equipment to produce them. In 1828 the Duty Ace of Spades (known as "Old Frizzle") was printed to indicate a reduced duty of a shilling had been paid. In 1765 hand stamping was replaced by the printing of the official ace of spades by the Stamp Office, incorporating the royal coat of arms. From 1712 onwards, one of the cards in the pack, usually the ace of spades, was marked with a hand stamp. Over the years, a number of methods were used to show that duty had been paid. Stamp duty, an idea imported to England by Charles I, was extended to playing cards in 1711 by Queen Anne and lasted until 1960. ![]() The ornate design of the ace of spades, common in packs today, stems from the 17th century, when James I and later Queen Anne imposed laws requiring the ace of spades to bear an insignia of the printing house. The actual value of the card varies from game to game. ![]() The Ace of Spades (also known as the Spadille and Death Card ) is traditionally the highest and most valued card in the deck of playing cards in English-speaking countries. ![]() ![]() ![]() Its a nice way to ID some thing before you click it open, even though its already been compressed into a permanent statistical TINY URL!!! Lastly, when you create the new TINY URL, you can add a few letters or a word of your choice to the future mini-URL you’re creating. So, bookmark it or save it some place where you can find it later, or its gone. Please bookmark or note the URL of your stats page immediately after it is made because that is the only opportunity you will have to note it. This is where you can trace your newly made link. Each Tiny URL has its own statistics page (with unique ID and code).

STAC Zero Trainer - Zero noise, zero tire contact, zero moving parts. Sounds like running is too strenuous, swimming probably has pressure and debris issues, and cycling outdoors has too much drying wind and debris. I wouldn't be surprised if easy mileage on the trainer is permitted, but check with the doctor first. There's actually a decent amount of videogames written for blind people, much of it free: I unfortunately forget which one, but I enjoyed one of the racing games in there. Podcasts at least have short chunks and you can pick back up.

Download a bunch of podcasts on topics you're interested in, and listen to them. ![]() If you've got to keep your eyes shut for long periods, there are couple entertainment options, that I partook when I had corrective eye surgery in 2011: Just imagine explaining to your future extremely-visually-impaired self "oh, the run where I reinjured my eye was totally worth it for the immeasurably small increase in marginal fitness". If you are not sure, ask your doctor.Definitely do what the doctor says. You may drive when your vision allows it.It depends on the type of work you do and how you feel. You will probably need to take 2 to 4 weeks off from work.This is because the change in altitude may cause the gas bubble to expand and increase the pressure inside the eye. If your doctor used a gas bubble, avoid airplane travel until your doctor tells you it is safe.Do not lie on your back, or the bubble will move to the front of the eye and press against the lens instead of the retina.Your doctor will give you specific instructions. Make a plan for this part of your recovery, because it will be hard to do some daily activities. If your doctor used an oil or gas bubble to hold the retina in place, keep your head in a certain position for a few days or longer after the surgery.This includes moving quickly, lifting anything heavy, or doing activities such as cleaning or gardening. Don't do things that might cause you to move your head. It may take longer for your vision to get back to normal. You will need 2 to 4 weeks to recover before you can do your normal activities again. You might have some pain in your eye and your vision may be blurry for a few days after the surgery. If an oil bubble is used, you will need another surgery to remove the oil after the eye has healed.Īfter the surgery, your eye may be swollen, red, or tender for several weeks. You will need to keep your head in a certain position for most of the day and night while the eye heals. It lightly presses the retina against the wall of the eye. The retina is the layer of nerve tissue at the back of the eye.Īt the end of the surgery, the doctor may have injected an oil or gas bubble into the eye. (After a while, the eye makes new fluid that fills in the space again.) Then the doctor may have treated eye problems, such as a retinal detachment, a vitreous hemorrhage (bleeding in the eye), scar tissue on the retina, or tears or holes in the macula, an important part of the retina. It helps the eyeball maintain its shape.ĭuring surgery, the doctor used small tools to remove the vitreous gel. Vitreous gel (also called vitreous humor) is a thick, colorless, gel-like fluid that fills the large space in the middle of the eye, behind the lens. Vitrectomy is a surgery to remove the vitreous gel from the middle of your eye. ![]() |
