We want to share a few tips for taking a whirlpool bath.įirst, be sure to give yourself enough time in the tub to soak-you can leave it running for 20 minutes or so, but then turn off the jets and drain it. Related: Most comfortable freestanding tubs Helpful Tips: Then you can rinse out your tub and get ready to start again next time! Related: Can you use epsom salt in jacuzzi tub? Turn off the JetsĪfter you’ve taken that bath, it’s time to turn off the jets and drain the tub. Each setting will create a different experience. You can choose from a variety of settings including bubble massage, hydrotherapy massage, or hydrotherapy spray. Next, turn on the pump and start the jets that you want to use. Gently lower yourself into the tub, keeping one hand on either side of it at all times so that if something happens unexpectedly-like if one foot slips out from under you-you won’t fall and get hurt! Turn on the Jets (If you’re shorter than average, you may want to fill up more.) The water should be several inches higher than your knees when you’re standing with both feet on the bottom of the tub. Make sure your tub is filled with warm water. You need to take your time, and be careful not to slip or fall. Getting in a jacuzzi tub is not as simple as it might seem. Related: Can you put bubbles in a jacuzzi tub?

If you’ve just purchased your first home with a Jacuzzi tub, congratulations! You’re about to enjoy years of soothing and relaxing soaks in the tub that will help you feel more rejuvenated than ever before.īut before you can get started on all the fun, you need to learn How to Use a Jacuzzi Tub, whether it’s your first time or not. Here’s how to use a jacuzzi tub the right way, whether it’s your first time or not. ![]() A jacuzzi tub will help you relax both physically and mentally in so many ways that once you get used to having one, you won’t want to be without it! If you’ve never used a jacuzzi tub before, it may seem like there are some things you just don’t know, but the truth is that this isn’t hard to use at all. ![]() I think that a lot of you might know him best as being the voice of Mr. He also showed up on CHiPs and Babylon 5. He also appeared with Ricardo Montalban on Fantasy Island. Without going through all of his credits, he had a recurring character on Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century. And rather than list them out, I thought it might be more fun to let you guess.Īfter Day of the Dove, he remained extremely busy. I know I asked a while ago, but I’m askin’ again.) Quick QuizĪnsara was one of twelve actors to play the same character on three different Star Trek television series. (Just sayin’, Scopely, when we get the TOS arc, can we please, please, please get Kor and Koloth. The original script of Day of the Dove called for John Colicos to come back as Kor, but Colicos was unavailable. Kang was the second Klingon commander to appear in TOS, but originally, he wasn’t going to appear at all. His performance a the 1963 Rawhide episode earned him a Bronze Wrangler award.Īnd I can’t not mention that he appeared in the 1965 Elvis Presley film, Harum Scarum. ![]() In 1961, Ansara he appeared with his wife in the film Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. ![]() Ansara with his then-wife, Barbara Eden on I Dream of JeannieĪfter Broken Arrow, Ansara starred as an Apache U.S. You can put this on the list of things that wouldn’t happen in 2020… but in the mid-50s, it worked, and the two were married in 1958. It was while working on that series that the 20th Century-Fox publicity department set him up on a date with pre-I Dream of Jeannie Barbara Eden. That’s the one where Tuvok relives the events of Star Trek VI, from his perspective on the Excelsior. Kang made his last on-screen appearance in a flashback on the Voyager episode … Flashback. That’s the one where three TOS Klingons return to avenge the murders of their sons, along with Jadzia Dax. Kang’s captain’s maneuver and officer ability are references to his appearance in the Deep Space Nine episode, Blood Oath. And now with Territory Capture in full-swing, having a third, fourth, or even fifth PvP crew is much more important. Accuracy isn’t generally the best trait for player-vs-player – but if you’ve got an 800% Kang on your explorer, you should do pretty well against interceptors. This is one of those officers, like Spock, Marcus, Charvanek, who really tiers up well. Officer Abilityīlood Oath – At the start of a battle, Kang increases the Accuracy of the ship by (100%, 200%, 400%, 800%, 1,600%) of the Attack of the crew on the ship. And none of those abilities are in the same ballpark as Spock, Paul Zhou, D’Jaoki, Admiral Marcus, Charvanek, etc.Īlso keep in mind that the Pan crew is anti-hull breach, and Kang setting off a hull breach will activate all of their abilities. Adding Captain Tilly and her increased mitigation was good, but other than that, you’ve got Chang, Koth, Mara and Qa’ug. The rub is that Hull Breach doesn’t really have the officer abilities to back it up that morale and burning do. If you’ve got a D4, this could be useful, especially against hostiles (shorter battles.) The rub for Kang is that while synergy can get it up to 100% for the first three rounds, it’s over after that – so it’s going to be great for short battles, but much less useful in longer PvP battles, or armadas, or anything that goes much longer than three rounds. Kang’s Captain’s Maneuverĭahar Master – At the start of battle, Kang has an 80% chance of dealing a Hull Breach to the opponent for 3 rounds. You can get officer shards for Kang from Ultra Recruit and Premium Recruit packs, as well as from transporter patterns. While he certainly has the look of a Klingon from the Kelvin universe, the character of Kang has his roots in the Original Series episode, the Day of the Dove. Kang is an epic command officer in the Blood & Honor Crew in Star Trek Fleet Command. ![]() We spent 7 hours just trying to make it to NC and back to the car in back bay wildlife refuge. We would probably visit again and try more of the branch trails and take more time exploring. they also have a bike repair station outside which was great and flushing toilet with running water. ![]() The vistor center had some nice merchandise that we bought because only way to buy it was to hike or bike all the way there. We were a little jealous on the people sitting on it just driving past us. There was a tram that was opertaing at the same time while we were riding. It had nice benches and picnic tables and we were the only ones there the whole time. We did stop at the currently closed education center to eat lunch. We did the whole trip, about 27 miles, with our 12, 9 and 6 year old. He said he has seen some very physically fit adults not able to complete the entire trip. He said when he first talked with us he had his doubt with our 6 year old that we would make it. He gave us tips on getting to the state line. Vistor center was nice and ranger was super helpful. We had to hike our bikes for a quarter of a mile on wash woods to get to the nice sand on the beach. We took sand ridge trail down to wash woods trail and took it down to the beach. We biked all the way to the NC state border from the beach in eaely April. You can only get here by going through back bay wildlife refuge. ![]() A mountain bike would be useful as the trails/service road has varying degrees of graves, potholes, and puddles. They had lots of recommendations and were very welcoming and engaging. So much undeveloped coastline! Also, the greeter and ranger at the VC were a-maz-ing. It's the lookouts and end points that are the reason for visiting. Again, the road isn't exciting, but there a few beautiful groves of live oaks. Once in False Cape, there's a lot of beautiful speckled shade on the trails that are mostly under pines and live oaks. ![]() You might get lucky with animal sitting - I saw a deer grazing, a turtle crossing the road, and a raccoon wandering about. And then you have to walk back! A nice glimpse of Back Bay along the way, but it's in full sun with often a stuff breeze. You can walk, but it's a long, unremarkable gravel road. And another mile to the sandy Atlantic beach. Down For Adventure in Pittsburgh with Just Ducky T.Don't forget to BRING A BIKE! Parking in Back Bay leaves you 4.2 miles from the False Cape Visitors Center (3.5 to park +0.7 to VC).What's Up Wednesday - Life Lately in July.Although my two littles are the ones who play with the sand toys the most, Dylan and Lexie join in the fun, too! (Although I'm sure it helps that we don't go until late August!) We always head down to the beach at lunchtime, because that's when most people are heading in to eat or take a break. You literally step off the boardwalk and into the sand! Thanks to the size, it never seems to be overly crowded. Virginia Beach has a beautiful, expansive sandy beach that is right off the boardwalk! I love that we don't have to trek through grass to get there. So rather than just recapping our day, I wanted to share 8 fun free things to do with kids in Virginia Beach, just in case you happen to visit there one day! (And I highly recommend you do!)Ĩ Fun FREE Things To Do With Kids In Virginia Beach I do want to finish it before our next vacation, so I decided to break the last half of our trip into several separate posts.Īs I was glancing through the pictures from Day 5 of our trip, I realized that we spent the day taking advantage of all the fun free activities Virginia Beach has to offer! They also happen to be our favorite things to do while we're there. The busyness of life took over, and sharing our trip got pushed to the side. I know this is ridiculous, but I never managed to finish up my vacation recap from last year! I just take so many pictures, and it turns out to be a daunting task. We are really excited to explore a new vacation spot with our family, but we are going to miss spending time at one of our favorite places! We are about 5 1/2 weeks away from our next family vacation to the beach! After spending the past few years in Virginia Beach, we opted to visit a different beach this year. ![]() You’ll be challenged in your work and be introduced to new technologies that are discovered. This is a great career field to be in for people who want to work in science and technology-related jobs. Working in STEM can also bring lots of opportunities for career development and growth, benefits, flexible work options, and other perks. It’s also fast-growing, expected to grow by 7.7% by 2030. So every week someone's saying, “Hey, everybody, we have an opening, apply and I'll get you an internal referral.” If you're trying to find jobs or find opportunities, any kind of specialty organization can be really great for that.STEM careers are one of the highest paying on the job market. Women Who Code Austin, for example, has a Slack channel that has thousands of people on it. Organizations like Girls Who Code and Women Who Code can be really excellent companions or drivers of your network. And if you're thinking, “Well, what should I specialize in?” you could go to all the job sites and play around with how many jobs are open for different technologies. So there are pros and cons for each option. But you're probably not going to get as high a rate as you would with a specialty. If you want to freelance, you could take a broad approach and say, “I'll just take whatever I can get in these three or four technologies.” That could go really well for you. So you’ve got to be on your toes.īut you don’t necessarily have to specialize. Before this, there was another JavaScript framework that was really popular called Angular. ![]() But with all technology, you have to be amenable to change, because change is constant. I've been doing that for five years, which is a really good amount of time for that particular technology, and that puts me in the senior category. It's called React Native, and it's essentially using JavaScript to build phone apps. I have this niche technology that I work in. For me, it's been easy to pick a specialty. I would say that there's more than one way to do it. You’ve done contract and freelance work-do you have any advice for those who think that they might want to go that route? Should they pick a specialty? Should they network more? Q: These days, so many young people, including many young women, want to be creators or work on their own schedule. So my transition into STEM was not really a conscious decision so much as a natural evolution to keep up with the times. Over the course of my career in journalism, the relationship between tech and media got closer and closer until they were tightly intertwined. Although this was interesting to me, I pursued media in college and worked as a journalist, and that turned into creating technology. I ended up going to Stanford in the early 2000s, and that’s where I started to see a tech-centered culture and economy emerging. There's a perception that math and science are the only ways to hone logic and problem-solving skills, yet there’s a lot of logic and problem solving in reading and writing too.īut when I was in high school, I didn't know what computer science was. I did a lot of reading and writing growing up, which, incidentally, I think have more relevance to engineering and tech than people realize. And I certainly was into Nintendo and the '90s game consoles, which I would play with my brother. I played around with those when I was in elementary school. But my father is an academic, so I did have access to early email platforms and the command line even before America Online started sending out software CDs. So tell us: were you a traditional computer geek growing up? Q: Many people’s interest in STEM starts early. Ps: can i use the report ID# you sent like a support ticket by myself? Thanks. I think the 100% foxit equivalent on Adobe are something like 90%. Of course if you zoom it at infinite or lets say 6400% you can see the pdf without blur. The problem is Foxit rendering system which is not up to the task (using an outdated system maybe.?). No matter the zoom really, all ratios looks sharp on Adobe or Sumatra readers. May I know at which zoom ratio you set in Adobe Reader to compare the different rendering result? A resolution of 150 to 300 DPI is sufficient for good readability Always choose GIF, TIFF or PDF file type for texts, JPEG for photos.

Gasoila SC16 Work Sav’r Stainless Steel Polish, 15 oz Aerosol A Information In Changing Your Conservatory Into Your Get the job done Spot The way to work has been transforming around the several years. When you’ve finally achieved the sparkling surface of your dreams, look deeply into your handiwork and give your reflection a thumbs-up.Gasoila SC16 Work Sav’r Stainless Steel Polish, 15 oz Aerosol Once you’ve finished with the buffer, grab a clean, dry cloth to go over the entire surface lightly one last time, making sure you’ve completely removed the polish. If you’re trying to buff away scratches, be sure to buff the entire area-not just the scratched sections-to ensure a uniform finish. Start at the edge of the surface, work in small circles, and let the buffer apply the pressure for you as you proceed. Then, plug in the buffer, turn it on, and begin buffing. Affix the pad to the buffer and apply polish to the pad according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The point here is to get tough with the material, so you’ll need to use a pad that’s slightly abrasive. Step 6įor a difficult polishing job plagued by pesky scratches, you can always turn to using a handheld power buffer in combination with a commercial stainless steel polish like Cerama Bryte ( view on Amazon). Your stainless steel should now be in good shape, but if it’s still dull, or if you notice scratches that need to be smoothed out, you may need to resort to one final option, a tool-assisted fix that’s described in the next step. When you’re finished buffing, wipe away any excess flour. Once you’ve thinly covered the whole surface, repeat the buffing process, but this time with a dry cloth. Using this as a gauge, adjust your measurement accordingly. For reference, it takes about one-quarter cup of flour to completely cover a standard kitchen sink. If olive oil didn’t produce the results you wanted, try another common pantry dweller: flour! Start by covering the entire stainless steel surface with a thin layer of flour-just a fine coating, without any clumps. If you’re happy with the shine you’ve uncovered, then congratulations-you’re done! Otherwise, if you think that the stainless surface could use a bit more work, never fear: Read on for two more solutions you can try. It’s important to get rid of excess oil, which can leave a sticky residue and, over time, dull the shine again. Step 4Īfter you’ve finished buffing, go over the entire surface once more, this time with a clean, dry cloth, using the same circular motion and pressure. This should take just a couple of minutes. Work your way across the entire surface until it feels smoother than when you began. Once the whole surface has been lightly covered with oil, use moderate pressure to buff it, making small circles with the oiled part of the cloth. ![]() Pour just a dot or two onto a microfiber cloth-or a bit more if you’re working with a large surface, such as a refrigerator or farmhouse sink-and use the cloth to spread a very thin layer of oil over the entire stainless steel surface of the fixture or appliance you’re polishing. Olive oil can be a surprisingly effective polishing agent for stainless steel. (For large, freestanding appliances, be sure to lay down a few towels first to protect the floor around the appliance from water damage, and be diligent about mopping up spills.)ĭon’t worry if you see any streaks or smudges after you’ve dried the stainless steel surface they’ll be taken care of later in the process. Once you’ve cleaned the surface, rinse it off with fresh water and pat to dry. Give the stainless steel a gentle but thorough washing with dish detergent, warm water, and a dish sponge or brush. Before you polish stainless steel, it’s important to make sure that the surface is clean and free of stuck-on gunk. ![]() If you have any suggestions or questions for this article, please leave a comment in the below comment zone. ![]() If you find this article helpful, please click 'Yes' at the end of this article Please use the dedicated video player VSPlayer to watch them.

But as I delved into her past-or rather made up things about her past-Amanda and Ruth emerged, and in their vividness, they pushed that woman aside. For years, the opening scene of my novel, which I was then calling The Recluse, was an old woman watching from her window and reaching for her bb gun, as a little boy crept toward her house on a dare. Later, when I hoped, like my friend, that I might be able to write something, if only I could think of something to write about, I realized that the idea of this woman and the atmosphere I'd attached to her had stuck with me. He lives in Newburyport, Massachusetts, with his wife, dancer/choreographer Fontaine Dollas, and their three children. He teaches in Emerson College's MFA in Writing program, and at Tufts University. He was one of three finalists for the 1994 Prix de Rome given by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and House of Sand and Fog was a finalist for the 1999 National Book Award for Fiction.Īndre Dubus III is the son of Andre Dubus, a widely recognized master of short fiction who died in February 1999. It has also been cited in The One Hundred Most Distinguished Stories of 1993 and The Best American Short Stories of 1994. His characters were inspired by two people whose predicaments had stuck in his mind for years: a woman he read abut in the newspaper who was wrongfully evicted from her house and forced to live in her car, and a college friend's father, who had been a colonel in the Iranian air force and could only find menial jobs after fleeing to the United States.ĭubus' work has been awarded a Pushcart Prize and the 1985 National Magazine Award for Fiction. Much of that book was written in his car, which he often parked at a local cemetery in search of quiet and solitude. For the next few years, he taught and did odd jobs as a carpenter while working on House of Sand and Fog. His first book, The Cage Keeper and Other Stories, was published in 1989, followed by 1993 by his first novel, Bluesman. Before finding his calling as a writer, Andre Dubus III worked for brief stints as a bounty hunter, private investigator, carpenter, bartender, actor, and teacher. |
