We see its remnants in Sanskrit sphara "shield, Persian sipar "shield", German spalten "to split", and English splint. Old Irish sail started off as spali- "split off, board" from PIE (s)phel-/(s)phol- "to split, cut off board". A better source of the word is that it is an English corruption of Old Irish sail éille "strap cudgel", from sail "heavy stick, cudgel" + éille "thong, strap", since cudgels are often provided with a strap for holding the cudgel on the hand. The geographic name Shillelagh derives from Síol Éalaigh, or "descendants of Éalach". The forests around this village are supposed to have provided a substantial source of the blackthorn from which shillelaghs are made. Origin of Shillelagh Either from Shillelagh, County Wicklow, in Ireland (from Irish Sol (descendants' ) alaigh (a name)), because the forest near it provided the wood from which such clubs were made, or from sail (cudgel' ) + ille (thong' ). It is the name of a village in County Wicklow in Ireland. Shillelagh definition: A cudgel of oak, blackthorn, or other hardwood. ![]() Word History: Today's Good Word is a difficult one to trace. In Play: Shillelaghs are still occasionally used for combat: "Liam Flannagan was disqualified from play for hitting a member of the other side on the head with his shillelagh." However, they are more likely to be used as walking sticks: "Grandpa uses his shillelagh as a walking cane, with which he, however, once successfully defended himself against an unsuspecting mugger." Buta: This is the butt, the lower part of the stick used to defend the arm and to strike with. What is shillelagh in yiddish See pronunciation, translation, synonyms, examples, definitions of. Pronunciation: Just as it would be in English. Dorn: This is the grip, the area which is gripped by the hand to wield the shillelagh. Remember the middle E is pronounced and the final syllable is spelled - lagh, though pronounced. The first syllable rhymes with English « now » or « cow ». Notes: The shillelagh was once used for settling disputes in a more gentlemanly manner than by using swords or pistols.

Horloger (tip sent by our reader Ahmad) is a HTC Style desktop clock gadget for Windows Vista and 7. Smaller sensors with higher megapixel counts tend to create noisier images. The size of the sensor and the physical size of the pixels recording the light on the sensor also contribute to image noise. Images shot in lower light tend to be noisier due to the high ISOs used in these scenes. As you increase the ISO on a camera sensor, the chance of random errors being recorded also increases. As you increase the gain on an amplifier, the sound gets louder, but any errors or unwanted sounds also get amplified. ![]() This is because the ISO setting works a bit like the gain on an amplifier. As a general rule and all else being equal, the higher the ISO, the noisier the image will be. The first of these is the ISO setting of your camera. Unedited 100% crop, 6400 ISO, no noise reduction appliedīoth types of noise appear in some form in all digital images, however there are a number of factors which can cause increased noise. You can see both types of noise in the below image. The former appears as colored speckles and the latter appears as a grainy effect. There are two types of noise in digital photography, color noise and luminance noise. Noise appears as random color or brightness variations across an image, which can give it a grainy or splotched appearance on close inspection.
![]() At the lower (more acidic) pH levels needed to digest raw foods most bacteria is killed off but it will thrive at the higher (less acidic) pH levels that cooked foods can be digested at. Raw meat and bones need a pH of around 1-2 where as cooked foods and kibbles only need a pH of around 3-4, in terms of stomach acid this is a BIG difference. "Īs well as having different digestion rates raw and cooked foods need different levels of pH in stomach acid to digest. ![]() In group 3, the food was observed in the duodenum 30 min after ingestion and emptying was complete 240-360 min after ingestion. The stomach appeared to be empty 420- 480 rnin after eating. In group 2, the food started to enter the duodenum after 270 f 30 min. After 900 f 60 min the stomach appeared to be completely empty. In group 1, the food remained unchanged in the stomach for 480 to 600 min (mean 534 min) after completion of the meal. After food ingestion the animals had no access to water or to any other type of liquid. "The types of food used were (1) dried food with 10 % moisture, (2) canned food with 70 % moisture and (3) fresh food (fish) with 75 % moisture. If raw food is fed at the same time as kibble it can be held in the digestive tract for too long and this can lead to health and digestion problems due to bacterial growth.Ī study published in the Cambridge Journal states the following results to support this: If you choose to feed a mixed diet it is best to feed any raw foods in the morning and cooked meats, kibbles or wet foods in the evening ensuring that there is enough time between meals for the food to be digested properly. However it only takes around 4-6 hours for raw meats and bones to be digested. It takes around 14-16+ hours for processed kibble and wet food to be digested and around 8-10 hours for cooked meats. It is important to remember that animals digest raw, cooked and processed foods at different rates. We always recommend feeding a fully raw diet and would not actively recommend mixing raw and cooked diets, but people have fed mixed diets where this is more convenient, just be aware of the issues that can arise by doing this. Can I feed a mixed diet of raw and kibble or raw and wet/tinned food? ![]() From the day I first heard about this game I’ve been following it closely. I’ve come to marvel at how intelligent and character-filled birds can be, and since this game lets me play as a sulphur-crested cockatoo, I really should have loved this game. I’m a guy that feeds a flock of sulphur-crested cockatoos that hang around my home (they like sunflower seeds), a horde of pigeons that hang around for the bits the cockatoos don’t eat, and because of that we also get magpies and crows that also like to hang around. I should have absolutely loved this game. The game also promises to be a more accessible skateboarding experience than, say, Tony Hawk (which is excellent for a person like me), and it has the perfect chill blend of lo-fi beats, energetic SKATE music, and birdies chirping. Because birds are little animals, the “skate park” that you cruise around is actually just a house falling into a mess (because the human’s lacking enthusiasm in life), and so the game has a brilliant, bittersweet Micro Machines and Katamari Damacy vibe. SkateBIRD had everything going for it a brilliant concept (“look at the lil birdies pulling Tony HAWK tricks, hehe!”) and some heartfelt messaging (as limited as it is, the game weaves a heartfelt message about never giving up and doing your best, and the lil birdies miss their “big friend” human, who has a stupid new job). It does not get any better because the image update on the Nintendo Switch is sometimes way too low, which often becomes a big problem in a game that relies a lot on timing and precise controls.Do you remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer ends up in the dictionary, and “to pull a Homer” means “to succeed despite idiocy?” Well, I reckon SkateBIRD should get a dictionary entry too: “to completely and utterly fail despite having an infallible concept.” The textures are sticky and nothing looks visually striking. Perhaps the problem is partly that the environments never feel inviting, as Skatebird is not very beautiful. Just as in the case of Pro Skater, there are a variety of smaller missions to tackle and there are also collectibles to collect. The desire to explore and try on all sorts of missions was great, but that desire never really shows up in Skatebird, even though the two games are basically so similar to each other. ![]() I played a lot of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 when I was younger and I really loved it. As you might expect, these are not normal skate parks that the birds are at, but just what you would expect birds to have done, if they were skating in reality. Pizza boxes serve as ramps and bowls filled with noodles provide grinding opportunities. skate parks, available to visit, with the first being a bedroom that you have turned into a skate park. In addition, you can decorate your bird with headphones, a Roman helmet, fisherman's hat, goggles, scarf, necklace and, of course, your skateboard. Owls, parrots, a raven, a kookaburra, the list goes on. When the adventure starts, you can choose between different kinds of birds to play as. Skatebird allows you to create an avian skater from a broad range of options. But, the fun of that series is unfortunately not nearly as present here. There are buttons to grab your board, grind, do a flip and other things you expect to be able to do, and the controls feel very much like Pro Skater. In other words, it's not like Skate at all. Those who have played one or more games from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series will quickly see Skatebird for what it is. When it comes to Skatebird, which is the closest a player could come to this desire, the dream is hardly captured in the way I had hoped. Being able to flip and trick, while tweeting away just seems like something gamers would be all over, with that presupposing that the game is good, of course. Skating as a magnificent bird is something that all video game enthusiasts have probably had a desire to do at one point in time. ![]() Others were poisoned or killed by breathing the fumes of their portable generators. So, this hurricane weekend, some people were burned or killed when trying to operate their own generators. Since LUMA constantly fails to deliver electricity, many people buy portable generators to power their lights and refrigerators. For customers, unexpected outages can damage equipment, even those essential for hospitals and businesses. Plus, LUMA implements outages, which are not even included in such calculations. ![]() More recently, under LUMA, the average time to restore power to Puerto Ricans became grotesquely worse at 5.4 hours. However, In Puerto Rico, operating under its old power authority, the time to restore power to customers used to be far worse at 2.5 hours. ![]() On the mainland United States, whenever there is a blackout the average time to restore electricity is one hour and 20 minutes. However, LUMA Energy - the privatized electric company tasked with improving the island’s energy reliability -failed to deliver electricity to 100 percent of the population: all 3 million people. Now, five years later, with Hurricane Fiona, there was no such collapse of tens of thousands of utility poles, since Fiona was only a Category 1 storm. Even after four months, roughly 450,000 households still had no electricity. One month after Maria, 88 percent of the island remained without electrical power. Hurricane Maria caused the utter collapse of Puerto Rico’s power grid and the worst electrical blackout ever in the United States - one of the longest blackouts in the history of our planet. That’s because Maria struck Puerto Rico as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, with winds reaching 155 miles per hour: It was the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide that year, knocking down or severely damaging more than 45,000 utility poles (as high as 90 feet tall) and 6,500 miles of electrical cables. By no means do I expect that the outages of electricity caused by Hurricane Fiona will be as gruesome as those caused by Hurricane Maria. As the rainwater reached down to a river in San Lorenzo its water level grew by 30 feet in some points and wrecked the concrete Bridge of La Marina, which had withstood every disaster since it was built in 1918. There and elsewhere, countless ripe coffee beans were washed away. I was there, just one day prior, at the Hacienda Muñoz coffee plantation. So, San Lorenzo alone, consisting of 53 square miles, was pummeled by billions of gallons of water. To explain, bear in mind that just one inch of rainwater consists of 17.38 million gallons per square mile. For example, the municipality of San Lorenzo was flooded with 29 inches. The cumulative rainwater varied by location, ranging from 5 inches to a disastrous 35 inches of rainwater. Plantations of various crops were wiped out: 90 percent of plantain and bananas were destroyed. Throughout the island, the damages to agriculture are enormous. Roughly 1,200 people are still in shelters. More than 1,000 people have been evacuated or rescued by emergency personnel. But unlike Hurricane Maria, five years ago, the main crises caused presently by Hurricane Fiona pertain not to destructive winds but to floods. Consider nature first: While Fiona was considered a Category 1 hurricane, winds whipped trees and buildings with speeds of up to 103 miles per hour when it hit Puerto Rico, according to the National Weather Service. ![]() Uplink is a customizable link that you can share with someone who you want to receive large files from.
