El captin rock fall before amd after1/16/2024 ![]() ![]() It released from right near the top of Horsetail Fall. This was 5-10 times smaller than the 2017 rockfall. In this 1970 CBS Evening News report, climbers Dean Caldwell and Warren Harding make history as the first to climb El Capitan’s Wall of Early Morning Ligh. The annual spectacle draws thousands of onlookers and photographers to Yosemite Valley. The fall flows over the edge of El Capitan in the winter and is best known for its orange and red glow as the sun sets, a completely natural event that only occurs when conditions are right during a short window in the month of February. The rockslide itself "was released from right near the top of Horsetail Fall," park officials tweeted. No one was injured in the incident, and the area reopened Tuesday night. Northside Drive was closed for more than 24 hours as geologists assessed the situation on El Capitan, Yosemite National Park spokesperson Scott Gediman told SFGATE. ![]() 7MihvT3V2Y- James Piper February 21, 2023Īnother video from artist Alex Wood also captured dramatic footage of the rockslide cascading down El Capitan. This instance was the most serious injury of his career."Holy God," a man in the background can be heard saying.Ī giant section of rock broke off El Capitan in Yosemite today. From the fall, he suffered a compression fracture of two vertebrae. As Alex was being lowered, the short rope ran through Sanni’s belay device, and Alex suffered a 10-meter fall, landing on his side. The couple decided to use Sanni’s parent’s rope, which was 60 meters long, instead of Alex’s rope, which measures 70 meters. In the summer of 2016, Honnold was climbing with Sanni, his girlfriend at the time, and her family. His favorite snack at the crag is a bell pepper and an apple.Īlex also stays away from alcohol and use of any tobacco or drugs. Department of Energy, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and HPE have teamed up with AMD to design El Capitan, expected to be the world’s fastest supercomputer with delivery anticipated in early 2023. Honnold focuses mainly on fruits, vegetables, and smoothies to nourish himself. To enable greater than 2 exaflops of double precision processing power, the U.S. On his climbing trips, he has to carry in what he eats. Peter Zabrok, 58, told NBC News that he was making his 58th climb on El Capitan on Wednesday when he saw a chunk of rock fall from about 1,000 feet. Climbing connects Alex to the outdoor environment, making it important for him to be aware of what he’s eating. Honnold is not against eating meat if it were at risk of going to waste.

Im looking for a nice tutorial to run El Captain. He’s been a vegetarian for a few years and sometimes eats a vegan diet. This speed solo ascent slashed the previous Tommy Caldwell record of sixteen hours in half! University Wall Here, Honnold set a new speed record, completing it in just 8.5 hours. On the Rainbow Wall (V 5.12b) in Red Rock Canyon in April 2010, Honnold climbed up. In 2007, Honnold free climbed Salathe, a 3,500 foot 5.13b granite wall in Yosemite National Park. He compromised, placing a single finger pad on the biner and making the move. This climb was filmed and can be seen in season 6, episode 4 of Reel Rock, a series that follows the world’s best climbers. They are the first climbers to have completed this 3,000-foot route in under 2 hours. This duo holds the speed record for 1 hour, 58 minutes, and 7 seconds. He climbed The Nose on El Capitan in June 2018 with Tommy Caldwell. Honnold’s record-breaking time of 18 hours and 50 minutes was broken by Jordan Cannon and Scott Bennett in June of 2021. He was the first climber to free solo these big walls, all within a single day. In July of 2012, Honnold completed his ascent of the Triple Crown and holds the record for the fastest free ascent. Mount Watkins, The Nose, and the Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome make up the Yosemite Triple Crown. ![]()

6 recessed lighting layout1/16/2024 ![]() I stood on a stepladder while Mike stood by the counter or in front of it (photos, above) and recorded the measurements from my trusty Meterman LM631 light meter.Ĭould there be errors? Sure. Part of the under-construction kitchen ceiling was open, which made it possible-one evening after dark-for us to hold the can lights up at the proper height (5 feet above the counter) and at a variety of distances from the wall, starting at 24 inches and going out to 48 inches. I then enlisted the help of current client Mike Flaherty, who is having a second-floor addition built at his 1920s bungalow, along with associated first-floor upgrades. To test my theory, I first purchased one 4-inch and one 5-inch recessed can and a variety of lamps. Placing and Testing Fixtures in the Kitchen It also throws light directly into open drawers. ![]() This location puts the beam right above the work surface and, equally important, it prevents the cook’s body from blocking the light when he or she stands at the counter working. My opinion, based on common sense-and now also on empirical evidence-is that the proper place for canned lights iin the kitchen ntended for task lighting is directly over the edge of the countertop, which is roughly 24 inches out from the wall. Now I measure, before and after, every kitchen I’m asked to redesign. This launched me on the path of putting numbers to good and bad lighting. Then, a few years ago, I met with a prospective client who complained of really bad lighting in his newly redone kitchen. But it has bothered me that this bad advice is still being disseminated. I bought that book, but the advice in there to center the cans in the aisles made no sense to me, and I stopped following its guidelines after one or two projects. The book’s theory was that lights centered in walkways wouldn’t create “hot spots” on the upper cabinets and that under-cabinet lights would do the heavy lifting (see “ Under-Cabinet Lights Won’t Save You,” below). This spec seems to have originated in a kitchen lighting book that was popular in the ’90s. In doing so, I found that one illustration shows the cans 49 inches out from the wall and another shows the cans a whopping 56 inches out. The illustrations don’t include dimensions, but out of curiosity I traced and enlarged them, then scaled them using the 25-inch countertop as a guide. In a couple of books used by kitchen designers, I’ve seen illustrations showing recessed can placement well away from the task. I believe there’s considerable misinformation about where canned lights in the kitchen should be located in relation to countertops. Ideal Location for Recessed Canned Lights in the Kitchen But I also put everything on dimmers, which enables users to soften the lighting while also saving energy and extending lamp life in halogens and LEDs. My personal target is a 100 fc minimum, and even more for clients older than 60 (see “ Aging Eyes Need More Light,” below). This jibes with the January 2017 update of the Illuminating Engineering Society’s (IES) “ Lighting and the Visual Environment for Seniors and the Low Vision Population” (ANSI/IES RP-28-16), which also recommends a minimum of 50 fc at the countertop surface. In the book Kitchen & Bath Lighting: Concepts, Design, Light,which the National Kitchen & Bath Association ( NKBA) released in 2015, the text suggests 50 fc for prep counters. Industry groups also weigh in on the topic. That will help you avoid banging your hip on the corner of the island countertop, but it’s very dim light for working in the kitchen. ![]() The code isn’t much help: IRC 2015 requires just one light fixture for the entire kitchen, yielding perhaps 6 foot-candles (fc). There has been almost no new research on this topic for the last 30 years, and competing expert opinions leave designers confused about how much light is needed in the kitchen. Here are some considerations for kitchen lighting layout. I’ve written about this before (see “ The Right Way to Light a Kitchen"), but I recently measured comparative light levels on actual jobsites, and the data backs up my contention that, in most cases, the wrong fixtures are being placed in the wrong locations. In what follows, I’ll look at factors such as the number of fixtures and the type of lamps (bulbs) used, but I’m particularly interested in the size and location of recessed can lights for best practices for lighting in the kitchen. ![]() Lighting is often an afterthought, yet even when it’s carefully planned, designers and lighting experts often don’t agree on which lamps work best in particular fixtures and where those fixtures should be located. ![]()

Lynda cruz florida obituaries1/16/2024 ![]() "He would get upset and he would start breaking their toys," she said. She said Cruz was a bed and pants wetter until he was 6 or 7, which caused other children to pick on him. "You'd see all the kids playing on the floor with different toys and he’d be somewhere else,” she said. He wasn’t talking, so if he wanted a toy, he would go after someone."ĭevaney-Westerlind said when the children of the neighborhood would gather at her home, Cruz would stay by himself and hide behind the blinds. "I didn't see anything that different until about maybe 18 months old. She was just the happiest I ever saw her."īut she saw many of the same issues that Fischer did - that other than her daughter, who was about eight months younger than him, Nikolas Cruz could not relate to other children. "She would go and get him all these sailor outfits. "He was a cute little baby," she said of Nikolas. Patricia Devaney-Westerlind, who lived across the street from Lynda and Roger Cruz, said Lynda Cruz kept the family's 4,500-square-foot home immaculate and that she was nurturing to Nikolas and his younger half-brother Zachary, whom the family also adopted. She said that since the shooting, she sometimes feels a bit guilty, wondering if there was something she could have done "so he could be a better person." Devaney Westerlind lived in Parkland from 1998 to 2008 and was a neighbor of the Cruz family.

She said Lynda Cruz, his adoptive mother, was loving toward Nikolas and tried to do the best she could, but was slow to admit he had problems. If a teacher was trying to work with him to get him to use his spoon or not his hand, he would hit the teacher’s hand away."

Compare heights ft1/15/2024 ![]() ![]() You can also use this information to estimate heights if you do not know someone’s exact measurements. Once you have your measurements, compare them to see who is taller or shorter than whom. Suppose you do not have anything available.Measure the height of yourself and the others from your brow to your toes and bottom ground. To be more precise, you can also use a tape measure. Once you have these, measure yourself and contrast your reading with the others. You will also need to know the measurements of the people you are comparing yourself. It would help if you had a ruler or another measuring tool to compare height with your friends and family visually.The person measuring should then place the tape on the person’s head and record the height. To do this, each person should stand against a wall, heels together, and arms stretched up above their heads. It can be calculated more accurately with a tape measure. The second is to have everyone stand on the same height stool or chair and see whose head is highest above the seat.One way is to line everyone up and see who is the tallest.You can create visual comparison heights with your friends and family in a few different ways.
