6/1/2023 0 Comments Iconjar selection![]() ![]() I do GTD and all my project folders have custom icons. I use tons of custom folder icons and CandyBar makes it so easy to drag and drop a folder onto the app and have a custom icon applied instead of having to copy and paste it into the Info dialog. (I fail at this goal epically.) I also use PathFinder instead of Finder, and it lets me increase the size of the folder icons in list view. ![]() I actually also have a goal of picking one icon for each day as kind of a visual journal so I can look back at a previous month view and get a much better and faster feel for what's been going on. I want to see a pic of a turkey or Christmas tree. I don't want to look at my month view and see the word "Thanksgiving" or "Christmas" in the bottom right corner of a day's box. I use Bus圜al because as far as I know it's the only calendar app that lets you paste graphics in. Instead, I just use it to catalog my "icons", which I really use anywhere and everywhere as clipart. Paulo/Guzhogi, yes CandyBar can be used for automatically theming the default icons but that's not really why I use it and so that's not the functionality I need replaced (and I have a feeling that's true for Lukeit, too). First to discuss two different purposes of CandyBar.

Kelly Hu won the title of Miss Hawaii Teen USA and competed in the Miss Teen USA 1985 pageant, becoming the Miss Teen USA pageant's third titleholder in history and its first Asian American winner. Hu's cousin was a successful model in Japan, and Hu decided to follow her example. ![]() Hu has held a lifelong interest in singing and dancing and has also been interested in martial arts since her early childhood. She attended Maʻemaʻe Elementary School and Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu, Hawaii. She is of Chinese, English, and Hawaiian descent. Her brother, Glenn, is a Lieutenant Colonel and Human Resources Officer in the United States Army. Her parents divorced during Hu's childhood. Hu was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, the daughter of Juanita Perez, an engineering drafter from Honolulu, and Herbert Hu, a salesman and exotic bird breeder. Hu has had recurring roles as Pearl on The CW series The Vampire Diaries, as China White on the CW series Arrow, Hamato Miwa / Karai on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Stacy Hirano on the Disney Channel animated series Phineas and Ferb, and as Adira in Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. ![]() She has starred in numerous films including The Scorpion King (2002) as Cassandra, Cradle 2 the Grave (2003) as Sona, X2 as Yuriko Oyama / Lady Deathstrike (2003), The Tournament (2009) as Lai Lai Zhen, and White Frog (2012).

Kelly Ann Hu ( Chinese: 胡凱麗 pinyin: Hú Kǎilì, born February 13, 1968) is an American actress, voice artist, former fashion model and beauty queen who was Miss Teen USA 1985 and Miss Hawaii USA 1993. 6/1/2023 0 Comments Exponential scatter plot![]() The simulation of forest fire spread is a key problem for the management of fire, and Cellular Automata (CA) has been used to simulate the complex mechanism of the fire spread for a long time. Providing a state-of-the-art survey, it is a useful reference for scientists, researchers, and graduate students interested in wildland fire behavior from a broad range of fields. Mathematical and dynamical principles are presented, and the complex phenomena that arise in wildland fire are discussed. This book provides an overview of the developments in modeling wildland fire dynamics and the key dynamical processes involved. This quantitative analysis of fire as a fluid dynamic phenomenon embedded in a highly turbulent flow is beginning to reveal the combined interactions of the vegetative structure, combustion-driven convective effects, and atmospheric boundary layer processes. Fire behavior models are commonly used to predict the direction and rate of spread of wildland fires based on fire history, fuel, and environmental conditions however, more sophisticated computational fluid dynamic models are now being developed. Wildland fires are among the most complicated environmental phenomena to model. 1999) and the generation of forward-shooting fingers of flame (Radke et al. Though many of the latter observations were gathered from fires of opportunity in uncontrolled conditions, the adaptation of image flow analysis techniques to the analysis of IR observations allowed documentation of modelpredicted phenomena such as the formation and role of vertically-inclined vortices in fire line dynamics (Clark et al. Other approaches to investigate this interplay estimated winds within flaming combustion zones, fire progression, and, in some cases, accompanying fire heat fluxes, from analysis of high-speed infrared (IR) imager data on the ground (Clark et al. Currently, high-resolution observations of wind and fuel within the three-dimensional combustion zone at the flame-scale are being more widely collected outside of the laboratory as existing meteorological instrumentation and analysis methods are applied to wildland fire field experiments (Charland and Clements 2013 Clements and Seto 2015 Liu et al. Directional slope is by far the most strongly associated covariate of ROS for the imaging sequences analyzed and the size of LSUs has little influence on any of the covariate relationships. GWR and ESF regressions reveal that relationships between covariates and ROS estimates are substantially non-stationary and suggest that the global association of fire spread controls are locally differentiated on landscape scales. Statistical relationships between fire spread rates and landscape covariates were analyzed using (1) bivariate regression, (2) multiple stepwise regression, (3) geographically weighted regression (GWR), (4) eigenvector spatial filtering (ESF) regression, (5) regression trees (RT), and (6) and random forest (RF) regression. Three separate landscape sampling unit (LSU) sizes were used to extract remotely sensed environmental covariates known to influence fire behavior. Wildfire progression maps and ROS estimates were derived from repetitive ATIR image sequences collected during the 2017 Thomas and Detwiler wildfire events in California. The objectives of this study were to evaluate spatial sampling and statistical aspects of landscape-level wildfire rate of spread (ROS) estimates derived from airborne thermal infrared imagery (ATIR). 6/1/2023 0 Comments Reactor meltdown movies woman![]() We live with radiation all of our lives but never see, or smell, or feel, or hear it, and so tend not to understand. ![]() It loosed the unknown, unseen threat of radiation. How close was the call?Įven among those who live in its shadow, few understand nuclear power, and how it is harnessed to make the heat that makes the steam that turns the turbines that make electricity the greatest force known to man used to heat his teakettle.ĭuring the midnight shift on Three Mile Island, on Wednesday, March 28, 1979, the harness slipped. For seven days, and seven nights, those within 20 miles of Three Mile Island lived with the specter of unknown power out of control. Was it?Ī “meltdown” - synonym for nuclear catastrophe - was indeed a possibility. “It was not that close to a catastrophe,” an official said. The leak was totally controlled, it was not. Nobody was overdosed, though four workers were. There was no radiation, they said, though there was. “An awful bash had been given the plant.”īut a confusion of voices, contradicting, reassuring, frightening, made it difficult at first to learn just how bad things were. “Everybody knew there was danger,” recalls one federal nuclear official. And the chain of human error and mechanical breakdown grew, multiplied, and turned a routine glitch into the worst nuclear accident in the 22 years since the nation began using nuclear power. Three valves on auxiliary pumps that should have been open weren’t. The other, Unit 2, was humming along quietly until, at 3:53 a.m., terrible events began with a whoosh. One of the Three Mile Island reactors was shut down for routine refueling on March 28. There are 223 nuclear reactors at power plants around the globe two of them at Three Mile Island. There is a nuclear plant in Hiroshima, witness to atomic energy at its worst and near Leningrad, Frankfurt, Buenos Aires. Indeed, the whole world had a stake in Three Mile Island. “We all live in Pennsylvania,” chanted protesters in Germany. In the small neighboring towns like Yocumtown and York Haven, Goldsboro and Pleasant Grove, there was confusion, then fear. (AP) - In the darkness before dawn, in the chill mists that rise from the Susquehanna River, the atomic powerhouse on Three Mile Island defied its human keepers and threatened catastrophe. |
