Another option is to pack it tightly in a suitcase. For instance, if you purchase anything online, it will likely come packaged tightly in a box. It might, however, wrinkle in some particular circumstances. Is Alpaca Wool Wrinkle Free?Īlpaca wool is wrinkle-free and wrinkle-resistant. One of the main advantages of alpaca wool is that, once you’ve finished washing it, you don’t need to iron it or do anything else with it. Now all you have to do is wait for the garment to dry and it will be fresh and ready to wear. To ensure that both sides of the garment dry effectively, keep flipping it. The towel is no longer required at this time. Whatever you have available to dry can be used here, be it a table or a drying rack. Put it on a level surface and make sure it’s lying flat. We’re going to keep it there till it dries.Īfter roughly three hours, the majority of the water will have been absorbed, causing the drying process to proceed much more quickly. We’re going to grab a fresh towel, lay the item flat in its original shape, ensure there are no wrinkles, and simply fold it. We can squeeze the water into the towel and out of the clothing by doing this.īecause the towel has already absorbed a significant amount of the water, it will be significantly less wet than it was before. We’re going to lay the item out on a towel in its original shape, and then we’re going to gently roll it into the towel without really stretching or tugging it all the way. It’s still soaking with water so we’re gonna get rid of that. We now have a wet garment that we will attempt to dry. It is possible to gently squeeze the fabric to remove the water. So keep your composure and avoid ringing it out. This is one of the main reasons why your alpaca wool clothing may felt, and if you do it, the result will be a pretty unsightly garment. This is the tough part because you’ll be tempted to ring it out and remove the soap more quickly, but you shouldn’t. This is important because as the temperature changes, the fiber is shocked, which can lead to felting or pilling, which is something we want to avoid. Without moving it too much, we’re just going to rinse it. We’re going to use water that is the same temperature. It is now time to rinse the garment and remove the soap. Now all we have to do is soak the garment for 30 minutes. Therefore, make sure it’s incredibly soft baby shampoo will also do.īefore you place the garment in, make sure to thoroughly mix the detergent with your hands. Even the specific wool detergents can be very harsh on the fabric, thus it is always important to use a very mild detergent. The golden rule is to always hand wash alpaca wool clothing with your hands, not on the washing machine’s hand wash cycle, but rather in your bathroom with your hands.įirst, we’ll soak the alpaca wool garment in a tub filled with cool to lukewarm water. Therefore, pay extremely close attention. You must remember a few important points in order to avoid destroying your garment. How Do You Wash Alpaca WoolĪlpaca wool washing is actually very simple, despite the fact that it can be challenging. Put your alpaca wool garment in its original shape before drying it to ensure that the wool retains its natural shape. Laying an item of alpaca wool flat between two towels and gently pressing the water out is the proper technique to dry it. The fiber may be harmed by excessive direct heat. Keep your alpaca wool clothing away from direct heat sources like heaters and the sun. Therefore, avoid drying alpaca wool in a dryer. Alpaca wool doesn’t require using a dryer to dry. Your garment should never be rubbed, rung, or twisted.Īvoid using a dryer. ![]() Stay with one temperature, either cold or lukewarm. Never change the temperature from cold to lukewarm or from warm to cold. ![]() ![]() Use a constant temperature, I f you’re planning to wash an item of clothing made of alpaca wool, wash it first and then rinse it. To wash your wool and clothing, only use cold or lukewarm water. That is not by hand, that is machine washed. Don’t even think about using your washing machine’s hand wash setting. I mean with your hands when I say to hand wash.

![]() While the other aged alarm clocks come in different styles that are also unique compared to the modern ones. Meanwhile, digital alarm clocks can give off other sounds. An old fashioned alarm clock may have one or two bells that produce a ringing sound. The vintage alarm clock has a unique sound. But the most popular are the following: the natural alarm clock, battery alarm clock, vibrating alarm clock, phone alarm clock, loud alarm clock, sunrise alarm clock, sun alarm clock, digital travel alarm clock, and the LED alarm clock. There are various types of modern alarm clocks. Without this feature, digital clocks will reset themselves incorrectly (usually to midnight) when power is restored, causing a failure to trigger the alarm. Some alarm clocks also have a “sleep” button, which turns the radio on for a set amount of time (usually around one hour).ĭigital clock radios often use a battery backup to maintain the time in the event of a power outage. Most also of today’s alarm clocks offer a snooze button, which is a large button on the top that stops the alarm and sets it to ring again later. Some has a beeping or buzzing alarm, allowing a sleeping person to be awakened to the music or news radio rather than harsh noise. Modernity has now introduced to us the digital alarm clock that features a radio alarm function. Contemporary alarm clock designsĪs time progresses, the alarm clocks also go with the change. In the 17th century, alarms were first put in the household mantel, wall, and grandfather clocks. It was set by putting a pin in the appropriate hole. These early alarm clocks had a ring of holes in the clock dial. The first mechanical alarm clocks that can be traced its roots in the 14th century in Europe. In the coming years, mechanical clocks were finally invented. In the ancient period, some people used sundial (measures the time by the use of the sun), candle clock (sticks of incense used to estimate the time), hourglass (fine sands pour through a small hole at a constant rate) and water clock (determines time by using water). Different countries from the continents of Europe, Asia, and America had their own distinct alarm clocks. Ancient alarm clocksĪncient clockmakers had created alarm clocks that came in various shapes and sizes. ![]() It was a big water clock which had an alarm that sounded like a water organ.Īs time goes by, other innovations of the alarm clock have occurred. It was said that he had an antique alarm clock. One of these people was the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Emperors, kings, clergies and intellectuals have their alarm clocks. There were prominent personalities in the past who owned the earliest alarm clocks. It was invented as early as the dawn of the human civilization.Īs the civilization evolves, clocks, specifically the alarm clocks, have also an evolution on their own that seems unstoppable.

In this manner, an electrical box, a plaster ring and wiring module or other electrical device or devices may be manufactured, assembled, distributed and/or installed as a pre-wired power distribution component, by itself or in combination with an adjustable mount. In an embodiment, a ground bus bar mounted to the electrical box provides further flexibility by accommodating multiple grounds for power cables routed to the electrical box. This feature is particularly useful for wiring gang electrical boxes housing multiple electrical devices. The pre-wired ground also functions as a lanyard between the electrical device and the electrical box, allowing the plaster ring to be pivoted to, and supported in, an open position to provide hands-free connection of power wires to the electrical device. In an embodiment, the electrical device is a wiring module configured to accept any of various functional modules. A combination electrical box, plaster ring, one or more electrical devices installed in the plaster ring and one or more pre-wired grounds between the electrical box and the electrical device or devices provides for a pre-tested ground path. Further, it is impractical to test each wired installation for conformance to construction standards.Ī pre-wired power distribution system, in contrast, advantageously combines installation flexibility, convenience and verifiability. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONĬonventional electrical distribution systems consist of either prefabricated components customized for particular electrical distribution points within a building or individual components that must be planned for, ordered, allocated to building locations and then attached together and wired during installation at each electrical distribution point. During a trim phase, electrical devices are mounted to the plaster rings. Then power cables are fed through openings in the rear or sides of the boxes and folded back inside. A journeyman electrician routes power cables through building framing to the appropriate box. ![]() During a roughing phase of construction, electrical boxes with attached plaster rings are mounted to wall studs at predetermined locations.

Mario must save Huey from a Green Pokey to get him back. Huey gives Mario enough coins to use the Battle Spin until he defeats the Slurp Guy.Īt Mustard Café, Mario briefly loses Huey due to wind blowing both of them into the giant hole that the purple Big Paint Star repainted. The Battle Spin allows Mario to get extra cards for ten coins when he runs out. Huey teaches Mario how to use the Battle Spin after a Slurp Guy attacks them right after the Card Connoisseur Toad borrows all of Mario's Battle Cards. They use the Unfurl Block to unfurl the ranger's favorite chair. In Daffodil Peak, while Mario and Huey are helping the park ranger repaint his cabin, Huey teaches Mario how to use the Unfurl Block. The technique allows Mario to use Thing cards to solve puzzles, to cut out clear lines of the background in order to traverse areas if he isn't able to continue, and to find hidden Battle Cards. Later, in Cherry Lake, Huey introduces the Cutout technique so that they can get through the gate at the beginning of the level. After the battle, Huey tells Mario that he now has the ability to use the Paint Hammer. ![]() Huey teaches Mario how to battle with Battle Cards and Mario squeezes Huey into paper form so that he can gain paint. When they find him, his color is being drained by a Slurp Guy. Peach introduces herself and Mario to Huey, but soon after they hear Toad scream and run to go help him. After Mario whacks him with his hammer, however, he wakes up and gets mad at him for hitting him while he was sleeping, but calms down shortly afterwards. Mario and Princess Peach first find Huey in 3D form as a seemingly inanimate object in the inactive Prisma Fountain at the town square of Port Prisma. Huey is also shy in front of crowds, which is shown in The Emerald Circus. He is also slightly greedy, which is shown when he sees the Giant Coin in Mondo Woods, though he values friendship more than money. He has a large connection to paint, and is angered to see it get misused or wasted. Huey is very friendly and cheerful, though he becomes angry precisely. His eye color changes when his mood changes, for example, yellow means happy and red means angry. On the left ais a hidden cave with the Mini Paint Star! This will unlock a path to Vortex Island.He resembles that of a paint can with eyes. Stand on the first platform and let it sink. You should hear the Mini Paint Star jingle as you approach the line of sinking platforms. This Mini Paint Star is very easy to get, provided you’re listening to the game’s audio! Start the level and start moving to the right. This will unlock a path to Toad Trainworks. Walk through the waterfall on the left and follow the steps to get to the Mini Paint Star at the top spring. Talk to the both Red Toad Rescue Squad members, then grab the Hair Dryer Thing. Once the battle is over, head into the hot springs area through the door ahead. Hopefully you were collecting Ice Flowers throughout the level as they are definitely effective here. Since the guy is literally a ball of lava, most of your jump and hammer attacks won’t work. ![]() If you don’t come prepared with the right cards, this one might be tricky. In the next room you’ll be facing off with a Big Lava Bubble. Color in the white spots, take out the Bob-ombs, use the Roullete Door, then enter Cutout mode when all the lava matches to make up to the door. In the next room, there is little point in following the steps as they don’t lead to anything. From there, use the platform you restored to get to the door. Hop onto the front as it starts moving to get to the center island. Return to the platform that lunges out to the right. Once you each the back wall, color in the white spot on the right to get that platform moving. ![]() On the other side, keep following the path, ignoring the platform that lunges out to the right. Take his words seriously! If you were to number each of the six platforms from left to right, the order in which you need to stand on each one is as follows: Start making your way around the room until you reach the Snifit. Enter the door to reach a room filled with Piranha Plants. When you reach the line of sinking platforms, wait until they all rise before you sprint to the other side. Time your jumps correctly by jumping just when the other is about to sink. Anyway! Move to the right and hop onto the sinking and rising platforms. After chatting, watch as he happily jumps away. He’s on a quest to find a Thing needed to melt the freezer in Tangerino Grill. Start the level by talking to Toad who apparently can’t jump very high.

I have audio book files that I pulled off of CDs and uploaded to my google drive. Pretty much nothing that annoyed me about the other 5 apps I tried. There are no ads, no glitches, and no pop ups. Simple, bugless, no annoying ads or pop ups. ![]() Please add download progress functionality. With a large audiobook and slow internet, it can take 5 to 10 minutes for the audiobook to show up. I think maybe 40 years ago ( at the start of the PC revolution)? When I started using the app, I tapped on the the audiobook multiple times in the file picker, because the app gave me no feedback it was downloading the file. I can’t remember the the last time I used an App that didn’t show download or transfer progress. The second issue is just plain craziness. They all play audio starting at the chapter marker when using their chapter pickers. No other audiobook player I’ve tried does this. This means if you’ve got chapter markers closer than 1 second before the start of audio, the start of the chapter audio is probably clipped if you’ve the chapter picker to start a chapter. Why does the App not play the audio starting at the chapter marker when a chapter is selected? It seems to either suppress or skip the audio starting at the chapter marker to somewhere between 1 to 2 seconds later. It needs to show download progress!! The first issue was almost a deal killer for me (and why I’ve given it 2 stars). The file just suddenly appears after it has downloaded. There are two issues that are keeping me from rating this App 5 Stars: 1: Chapter starts are clipped when using the chapter picker and 2: when importing an audiobook (I use OneDrive), no cloud download progress is shown. Hats off to you devs, I couldn’t live without your app. Wish more apps were no-nonsense and focused on functionality like BookPlayer is. Not anymore! Now I can bookmark before I get into bed and then put on my sleep timer, so I know my place is somewhere just ahead of the bookmark.ĥ/5. Before I found BookPlayer I would drift off and the book would keep playing all night-plus I’d lose my place. I have terrible insomnia and listening to audiobooks helps me sleep. The design is simple and lightweight, so it can play on my older devices as well as my new ones without lagging, and has quality-of-life and functionality features I can’t live without specifically the bookmark feature and the sleep timer capability are exactly what I needed. It doesn’t try and get me to buy anything. I vastly prefer playing my own raw audio files rather than having Audible or similar “serve” my books to me, and BookPlayer does just that.

Once the digital ecosystems are launched, he said, “the sensor results can be directly loaded onto the mobile phone into the cloud, and can be viewed in real-time by the doctor or the caregiver of the person with diabetes”.įreeStyle Libre has been recommended for use in Type 1 patients above four years and also for those with gestational diabetes. Sattaru said they expedited the launch of Libre in India given the pandemic and the convenience of managing diabetes remotely. Abbott is expected to launch its software to collate this data on smart devices in 2021. “The reader stores the glucose values for up to 90 days, the sensor for eight hours,” he said.įor now, Indian patients will be able to see the data from the reader on the device only. Plus, the readers also shows a digital logbook, an insulin dosage calculator and average glucose levels for seven, 14, 30 and 90-day periods. Since using the sensor all then time can be an expensive proposition, the strip monitor can be used in the intervals when the sensor is not being used. “The reader also functions as a blood glucose strip monitor and a blood keto strip monitor in addition to the sensor,” Sattaru said. Sattaru said the reader shows the time in range, as set by the health care professionals, as well as the number of hypoglycaemic episodes. “The new reporting system will certainly help prevent the serious complications and death in a greater number of subjects with diabetes,” said Dr Kesavadev. His Thiruvananthapuram-based Jothydev’s Diabetes Research Centre had come up with the first-ever research from India on T1R and its correlation with HbA1c. “While the traditional HbA1c is very useful in deciding the success in diabetes care, it is only an average of three months’ blood glucose values and does not give an idea on the direction of change of glucose or the duration which is spent in normal, high or low glucose levels,” explained Dr Jothydev Kesavadev. Abbott also has a Libre Pro model which is for user by medical professionals only.Įarlier this year, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) had endorsed the use of Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) or Time in Range (T1R) report to be integrated into the management of all types of diabetes. ![]() ![]() Whatever data it has captured from the sensor over a period of eight hours, it actually analyses and puts it into some three, four very useful analytics, which helps the person with diabetes have an effective conversation with a doctor, even if it is over a telephone considering we are in the middle of a pandemic,” Sattaru explained. “The Libre reader is a multifunctional device. ![]() As a result GME stock price declined (reaching an all-time low of $2.57 on April 3, 2020), leading many hedge funds to short sell the stock-meaning they would profit from its further decrease in price. GameStop (NYSE:GME) is a US video game retailer which was struggling in recent years due to competition from digital distribution services as well as economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The popularity of this forum has steadily increased in recent years and has exploded after the events of the GameStop saga. ![]() The hallmarks of WSB are the irreverent jargon and edgy humor used in conversations 10, as well as the gambling attitude of its users who yet seem to give good investment advice 11. ![]() The subreddit WSB is a community where users (retail investors but also non-skilled traders who use no-commission mobile apps such as ) discuss trading strategies and share their gains and losses. The forum is organised into various independent subreddits, each dedicated to a specific topic. Reddit is a public discussion website whose users interact with each other by submitting new posts and adding comments to existing posts or comments, thus creating tree-structured conversation threads. Recently an online mass coordination on r/wallstreetbets (WSB), a community of the social media platform Reddit, was able to trigger a short squeeze of GameStop shares with a large impact on financial markets 9. Online social media have revolutionized the way we interact with peers, share information and form opinions 1, 2, giving rise to new large-scale social phenomena: for instance, the spreading of fake news 3, 4, the formation of echo chambers and polarized opinions 5, 6, the organization of collective actions-from the Arab Spring 7 to climate change protests 8. Although the model cannot be validated with available data, it offers a possible and minimal interpretation for the increasingly important phenomenon of self-organized collective actions taking place on social networks. Analytical solutions and model simulations on interaction networks of Reddit users feature a phase transition from heterogeneous to homogeneous opinions as engagement grows, which we qualitatively compare to the sudden hike of GME stock price. Taking inspiration from these early warnings as well as evidence from previous literature, we introduce a model of opinion dynamics where user engagement can trigger a self-reinforcing mechanism leading to the emergence of consensus, which in this particular case is associated to the success of the short squeeze operation. In this work we characterise the structure and time evolution of Reddit conversation data, showing that the occurrence and sentiment of GME-related comments (representing how much users are engaged with GME) increased significantly much before the short squeeze actually took place. As such, it represents a paramount example of collective coordination action on social media, resulting in large-scale consensus formation and significant market impact. The short squeeze of GameStop (GME) shares in mid-January 2021 has been primarily orchestrated by retail investors of the Reddit r/wallstreetbets community.
