![]() Tara Davis brought her son, 22-month-old Daxton, to the newly opened museum for his very first visit. The exhibit, basked in a neon glow, teaches about vision and sight of humans, animals and insects through interactive games, technology, models of the eye and glow-in-the-dark stations. “Sights Unseen,” which allows guests to step into a dark, illuminated forest topped with glowing clouds, is an exhibit that was open only a few weeks before the museum closed because of the pandemic. In their quest to build the longest or most challenging coaster, kids stay engaged while learning concepts involving speed, momentum, force, gravity and physics, Yau says. Nearby, at the new Lego ball coaster, guests are challenged to use Lego pieces to build a structure that will allow balls to glide. In Invention Convention, a new interactive element allows kids to create their own tools to perform “surgery” on a robotlike figure. High-touch areas, including the PowerTower climbing area and Challenge Course, are sanitized regularly throughout the day. The museum is open at a reduced capacity, with more cleaning staff on hand than regular staff, he says. Specifically, he says, that means away from screens and, instead, interacting with peers. “Celebrate your children and give them the opportunity to be children.” “Houston has been able to beat back COVID, this is now a time of celebration,” he says.

De Jesús, Houston Chronicle / Staff photographer There are plenty of things to do with kids in Houston, but for this trip we kept it low key and only made it to one attraction.Elijah Mansfield, 3, eagerly waits for a ball to drop so he can catch it as he interacts with the Know Your Plastics! interactive piece at the Children's Museum of Houston, Thursday, June 3, 2021, in Houston. Little N in particular just loved it: the attention, the change of scenery. We did a few errands, saw some friends, and mostly spent time with family. ![]() The visit to Houston itself was short but sweet. We survived. (And since then I’ve become a pro at traveling solo with multiple kids). There was a lot of nap-skipping, needing to go to the bathroom on the plane multiple times, waiting for.ev.er.

![]() In my case, the first thing that popped out at me is the word “ triangle“. What is the first thing you think about when you’re admiring an aquascape? That’s the question you must ask yourself. Lastly, it’s strong triangular layout clearly indicates Pawel intended to use that style to frame the composition. However, the piece also definitely has an undertone of biotope style because it’s choice of few plants and adjacent colors makes it look very natural like a real habitat would. The fish convey a sense of birds with their movement and scale. I definitely see some aspects of nature aquarium style here in that the mass of plants resemble a forest with tree trunks sticking up the top canopy. The answer is probably yes, but then that would change the feeling Pawel was going after.įinally, Project Ryuboku is a great example of a hybrid aquascape that takes from a couple of styles to make something different and new. I’m still debating whether adding red plants to the background would have made the aquascape more dynamic. Interest is really generated through texture, mostly via the use of microsorum. Contrast is kept to a minimum through the use of adjacent colors. Pawels use of color makes the end result look natural and pleasing. That masterfully placed piece of thick driftwood in the upper right creates a secondary focus point that adds interest. However, the complexity that it gives the end result makes it worth it. I find that the quantity used by Pawel is impressive because it adds difficulty to creating the aquascape. The use of driftwood enhances the natural feeling and gives some backbone to the plants. When an aquascaper is going for a wild look, using too many plant species makes the artwork seem more like an out of control mess that you would never find in nature. I like it that Pawel had the restraint to use very few plant species that makes the overall aquascape look natural. The fine leaves of the plants give it a nice texture. To me, Project Ryuboku’s use of microsorum was critical to convey that wild, natural look. ![]() Grab a cup of your favorite coffee or tea (beer is also nice), sit back and relax. In this aquascape, Pawel uses it masterfully to depict a wonderful scene.Īt over 4,000 words, this analysis is a long one. In my opinion, it isn’t a different aquascaping layout style, but rather it’s a technique used within a style. The term “ ryuboku” has been used more and more in the aquascaping world when referencing a layout style where driftwood and rocks are present and form the hardscape. I immediately reached out to him to see if I could analyze it. When I saw his posting in Aquascaping World, it’s melding of styles, simplicity, and openness struck me. This month, I have the honor of analyzing Project Ryuboku by Polish aquascaper, Pawel Mielniczek. Aquascaping analysis of Project Ryuboku by Pawel Mielniczek ![]() Existing research in this area, including our own, has focused on matching test impressions with crime-scene evidence but has largely ignored forensic practice, which typically involves examination of the candidate source shoe itself and matching of physical features of the tread to evidence. We propose to develop statistical models that support robust reasoning about partial or obscured impression evidence and computational implementations of these models that can perform matching and retrieval for category-level (brand, size) identification from partial prints. Interpreting impression evidence requires reasoning about whether class-level and acquired characteristics of a candidate source are likely to have produced a given impression relative to other potential sources. The goal of this project is to develop statistical and computational models to aid the interpretation of impression evidence left by shoe outsoles. We are developing statistical models that support robust reasoning about partial or obscured impression evidence and computational implementations of these models that can perform matching and retrieval for category-level (brand, size) identification from partial prints. Though not themselves examiners we believe this unique data set is critical for developing approaches to analyzing the reproducibility (different examiner) and repeatability (same examiner) of RACs. The individuals in question were students trained by professional examiners. These data also include several instances of an individual marking the same impression at two points in time. Several individuals marked impressions made at different points in time by the same shoe. ![]() Data from a recent study in Israel in which shoes were worn by individuals over the course of a year and repeated impressions were taken can be used to study these issues. This includes questions associated with whether RACs can be reliably annotated, whether RACs persist over time as the shoe is worn, and the relationship between RACs on a shoe and RACs found in crime scene impressions. There is limited data available about the occurrence and persistence of RACs. This project is focused on providing support for existing footwear analysis approaches through further study of RACs. Some CSAFE researchers are considering novel image-based approaches to footwear evidence. If the general properties fit, the forensic expert looks for randomly acquired characteristics (RACs) on the shoe sole and determines if they match RACs on the trace from the crime scene. If these do not fit, then the analysis is stopped and the pair is classified as a non-match. First, general properties such as the pattern, size and wear of the shoe sole are compared to the crime scene impression. This project will also study the persistence of RACs over time (as the shoe is worn) and the repeatability and reproducibility of RAC detection by examiners.įootwear comparison is conducted by experts in two broad stages. ![]() One goal of our research is to develop and validate models that are more realistic for RACS. Existing models to understand the spatial distribution of RACs rely on simplifying assumptions. It is believed that randomly acquired characteristics (RACs) are among the most discriminating features of shoeprints.

![]() Self-cancelling turn signals were developed in 1940. Sealed beam headlights were introduced in 1936 and standardized as the only acceptable type in the US in 1940. ![]() Tail lights and brake lights were introduced around 1915, and by 1919, low-beam or dipped beam headlights were available. She did not patent these inventions, however, and received no credit or profit from them. Silent film star Florence Lawrence is credited with introducing an innovative version of the signalling arm in 1914, a predecessor to the modern turn signal, and a mechanical brake signal. Trafficators-signalling arms that flipped up, which later were lighted-were introduced in about 1900. Dynamos for automobile headlights were first fitted around 1908 and became commonplace in 1920s automobiles. It did not have all-electric lighting as a standard feature until several years after its introduction. The first Ford Model T used carbide lamps for headlights and oil lamps for tail lights. Many emergency vehicles have distinctive lighting equipment to warn drivers of their presence.Įarly road vehicles used fuelled lamps before the availability of electric lighting. Various devices have the dual function of illuminating the road ahead for the driver, and making the vehicle visible to others, with indications to them of turning, slowing or stopping, etc., with lights also indicating the size of some large vehicles. When a car stops behind you, though, use your handbrake and remove your foot from the brake pedal to avoid dazzling the other driver.Lighting system of a motor vehicle Extensively redundant rear lighting on a Thai tour busĪ motor vehicle has lighting and signaling devices mounted to or integrated into its front, rear, sides, and, in some cases, top. When you’re stopped, for example at traffic lights, keep your foot on the brake pedal so your brake lights are lit up, making you more visible to other traffic. While it’s tempting to flick them on to give a better view, in thick fog it will cause reflections and reduce visibility even more.ĭrive slowly, and leave a bigger gap to other vehicles in case they have to stop suddenly. Any other tips for driving in fog?įirst of all, it’s usually beneficial not to use your main beam headlights. You will also see a warning symbol on the dashboard to confirm fog lights are on. If the wavy line is to the right, this activates your rear fog lights. If the wavy line is to the left of the lamp graphic, those are your front fog lights. The symbol for fog lights can be seen on the rectangular switch in the picture above. In most cars, they can be switched on using the same stalk as the headlights, or by a button on the dashboard. This will be operated using a switch with a symbol similar to those above.įront fog lights aren’t a legal requirement, but many cars have them fitted as standard. If the police see you driving with your fog lights unnecessarily, a £50 on-the-spot fine could be issued.īy law, all cars built since 1986 must have at least one rear fog light. You don’t want your brake lights to be invisible because your rear fogs are outshining them. Using them when they’re not needed can dazzle other drivers, and even obscure other lights on your car. What if I leave my fog lights on?įog lights have a very specific purpose. Truthfully, if conditions are that bad, we’d hope speeds will be below the 70mph limit.Īs soon as conditions clear, it’s important to switch your fog lights off. This is especially important on the motorway, given how fast you and the cars around you are travelling. If the car is lost in the haze, with only glimmers of light to be seen, then it’s time to switch your fog lights on. If you can see it clearly, fog lights aren’t needed. Look at the car 100 yards ahead and judge how visible it is. Use the other cars around you as an indication of whether they are necessary. ![]() Especially as inappropriate use of fog lights is a bugbear for many motorists. This is where things get hazy (so to speak) and it’s a subject of debate. And, of course, an indication that you are nearby. Like your indicators, they are a sign to others that visibility is limited. But more importantly, they are for the benefit of other drivers. Rear fog lights are indeed for foggy conditions. The next consideration is whether to supplement your car’s headlights with fog lights. So you may need to switch them on manually. However, many modern cars come with automatic headlights, which don’t always respond to foggy conditions. When there is fog, you should have your headlights turned on. You should therefore know how all your lights work on your car – and when to use them. Winter driving can be difficult, and fog often makes the dark mornings and evenings more dangerous. ![]() While most mammals secrete milk from mammary glands connected to nipples, platypuses have patches of mammary glands dispersed across their abdomens. Platypuses are able to produce milk without nipples through a unique lactation process that is specialized for their biology as monotremes (egg-laying mammals). How Do Platypuses Produce Milk without Having Nipples? The milk simply emerges and is collected in a unique way adapted to their egg-laying physiology. ![]() This milk nourishes their young and allows platypuses to exhibit the defining mammalian characteristic of nursing their offspring. So, while they lack teats, female platypuses do possess true mammary glands that produce nutrient-rich milk internally. They rely on milk as their sole food source in early life. Newborn platypus pups are fed this milk, which they collect from their mother’s fur rather than suckling from teats. The milk produced by platypus mammary glands is nutrient-rich, containing water, fats, proteins, sugars, and minerals necessary to nourish developing platypus pups. This shows they have evolved the physiological ability to produce milk. Platypus mammary glands are well-developed, similar to those of other mammals. While unusual compared to other mammals, platypuses exhibit true mammalian lactation.
