![]() It will already be tamed but will only have 60 ( × 30) health points. The Beetle Larva produced have horns on their heads, and grow into a Rhinoceros Beetle. Rhinoceros Beetles can be bred using Turnips and will also follow a player holding turnips. Most mobs rammed into will retaliate and potentially kill the player's beetle. ![]() Mobs can only be knocked back and inflicted with Slowness if they are fairly large mobs such as Beetle Larvae are not affected, though there are some exceptions to this rule. This can also be done in rapid succession. The power of the ram is directly proportional to how much the Ram Bar is filled up. Holding this while ramming into mobs will knock them back, inflicing fall damage and the Slowness status effect on them. Holding down the "R" key while riding the Beetle charges up the Ram Bar, which is shown as the green bar above the experience bar. Todays MOD Showcase video is on the EREBUS dimension, where bugs rule and we are there food source We are going to be specifically looking at all. It can be tamed using a Beetle Taming Amulet, though it is hard to do in. When killed, it drops 1-3 Exoskeleton Plates. It has 60 ( × 30) health points and can knock the player up into the air and backwards if the player approaches it, as well as inflicting the Slowness effect on them. It is only found in the Ulterior Outback. When ridden, the beetle can climb 1-block high steps and climb like a Spider up steps higher than 1 block. The Rhinoceros Beetle is a hostile mob added by The Erebus. The Riding Kit is a Saddle that allows the player to mount and control the Beetle: To mount the Beetle, right-click on the mob to dismount, sneak off of it ("Shift" key by default). When the player tames the Beetle, they can add a Beetle Riding Kit onto the Beetle by right-clicking on it while holding the Kit. It can be healed by being fed Bamboo Shoots. When successfully tamed, the Beetle's maximum health increases to 80 ( × 40) health points. It is recommended that the player is at a high enough vantage point so they are out of the Beetle's attack range and still within the Amulet's functional range. It can be tamed using a Beetle Taming Amulet, though it is hard to do in practice because it knocks the player back when they get too close. The crafting recipe for a Gaean Keystone.The Rhinoceros Beetle is a hostile mob added by The Erebus. Gaean Keystones are made using two Vines, five Stone Bricks and a piece of Obsidian, and the pattern is shown below: Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted. It is a rare drop from a few varieties of Ant. Their sole purpose is to be a pedestal for the Staff of Gaea in front of an Erebus Portal. Ant Pheromones are a rarely dropped item used exclusively for making Ant Medallions. In order to make an Erebus Portal, you will require a Gaean Keystone upon which to place a Staff of Gaea. It serves no purpose other than to create a Staff of Gaea. Be on the lookout for the NYI tage on their page if its there, that means the item is not fully implemented in a currently released build of the mod. Once placed onto an Offering Altar, they will weave in and out three times, on the third time fusing into a Gaean Gem. These are all of the items added by the Erebus mod. In order for Nectar to be turned into a Honey Drip, it must be smelted. It is found in Jars o'Honey, Homing Beecons, Honey Combs and Bee Pendants. They require the fusion of a Diamond, an Emerald and a piece of Obsidian on an Offering Altar. Description Nectar is a liquid substance used in the creation of Honey Drips, as well as a few other crafting recipes. Gaean Gems are strange, eyeball-crossed-with-Earth-looking items that are necessary to create a Staff of Gaea. The recipe to construct one is shown below: It is not renewable due to the Diamond requirement of a Gaean Gem and has no other use beyond acting as a fancy key to access the portal. It is made using a Gaean Gem, three Sticks, four Vines and a Gold Ingot. The Staff of Gaea is a crafted staff used solely to open-and maintain the opening of-an Erebus Portal (see Travelling to the Erebus, to see how to craft the portal). ![]() It is beyond comprehension that this is the best Penn Dot can do. If in disagreement, try this intersection on any week day to see what it is like.Īnd as for the afternoon return to home in the South Hills, it would be absoloutely foolish to come down Maytide to Route 51.Īll it takes is for someone at Penn Dot to step up and take responsibility for improving the flow of traffic at said intersection. 65 vehicles on either route is excessive for those trying to get to work. Regardless of the reconstruction, Penn Dot needs to revisit the timing of the traffic lights at this intersection. At 5:45 AM, I will be stopped at Route 51 north bound and Route 88, and count 65 vehicles coming off of Route 88 on to Route 51 north bound. And to make matters worst, there is the reconstruction of Route 88 and Route 51 to deal with. And it makes no difference what time of the day it is. I live in the south hills, and it has always amazed me how frustrating it is to access Route 51, either south or north bound. The traffic lights are extremely long, making things worst for adjacent streets, and only packs vehicles on 51 to a standstill. The flow of traffic in either direction is extremely long, regardless of the time of day, and all it does is push traffic until it reaches a stopping point, and everything stops. I am sure that I am not the only one to bring up the subject of traffic on Route 51, both north bound and south bound, but Penn Dot does really need to revist the traffic on this main throughway. Future plans include additional traffic cameras on major roadways including I-376, Route 51, Route 28 and Liberty Avenue.

He was a friendly fellow, and of course every time you would talk to him, he would say, "Ray, I've run my last run of moonshine, I'm not gonna do it anymore, I'm just getting too old to be doing this stuff." Even when he came to federal court, he was wearing bib overalls. ![]() And his bib overalls – he always wore bib overalls. He was a short, skinny fella, who always wore his hat – that was kind of his claim to fame, his hat that he always wore. ) At around the same time, Sutton produced a home video of the same title and released it on VHS tape. (A woman named Ernestine Upchurch, with whom Sutton had been living in the 1990s, later said she helped write the book. The New York Times later called it "a rambling, obscene, and often hilarious account of his life in the trade". Sutton then wrote a self-published autobiography and guide to moonshine production called Me and My Likker, and began selling copies of it in 1999 out of his junk shop in Maggie Valley. In 1998 his roadside store in Maggie Valley, NC was searched by state agents, who seized a moonshine still and sixty gallons of moonshine, and Sutton was again placed on probation with a suspended sentence. He was convicted in 1974 of selling untaxed liquor and in 19 on charges of possessing controlled substances and assault with a deadly weapon, but received only probation sentences until the 1985 arrest, after which he served time in the Craggy Correctional Center in Asheville. Before his rise to fame at around 60 years of age, he had been in trouble with the law several times, but had avoided prison sentences. In the 1960s or 1970s, Sutton was given the nickname of "Popcorn" after his frustrated attack on a bar's faulty popcorn vending machine with a pool cue. Sutton said he considered moonshine production a legitimate part of his heritage, as he was a Scots-Irish American and descended from a long line of moonshiners. ![]() Sutton had a long career making moonshine and bootlegging. Since his death, a new company and associated whiskey brand have been named after him. Sutton died by suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning in March 2009, aged 62, rather than report to federal prison Īfter being convicted of offenses related to moonshining and illegal firearm possession. He wrote a self-published autobiographical guide to moonshining production, self-produced a home video depicting his moonshining activities, was the subject of several documentaries, including one that received a Regional Emmy Award, and is the subject of the award-winning biography and photobook The Moonshiner Popcorn Sutton. Born in Maggie Valley, North Carolina, he grew up, lived and died in the rural areas around Maggie Valley and nearby Cocke County, Tennessee. Marvin " Popcorn" Sutton (October 5, 1946 – March 16, 2009) was an American Appalachian moonshiner and bootlegger. ![]() Bigger worms are able to eat more enemies and will help you reach your level goal more quickly. There are only two upgrades in the game, but they're the only two upgrades you need - speed and size. The upgrade happens when the upgrade counter reaches zero and it happens automatically in game. You also don't have a choice of upgrades. Evolutions change the appearance as well as the performance of you worm while upgrades only change the performance. Upgrades are slightly different than the evolutions you choose between levels. This tells you how long you have until your next upgrade takes place. Above the enemies left number, you see your upgrade counter. Those enemies can be on the ground or in the air. For example, if the number beside enemies left is '04' that means you need to kill four more enemies to move on. At the bottom right side of the screen, you can see how close you are to reaching your level goal and moving on by checking the 'enemies left' number. Sometimes it's worth taking a little damage if it means getting a decent combo - the more enemies in that combo the better. Try to avoid them unless there are lots of enemies to munch on in the immediate area that will help you regain those health points. Bombs and rockets will take health from you. The good news is, all you have to do to keep that bar full is keep eating people, cows, planes, helicopters, stickmen and anything else on the screen that isn't you. You might not notice a difference with some of the lesser evolutions, but some of the more advanced ones will certainly make things harder.Īt the bottom left corner of the screen in Effing Worms you have the 'hunger' bar which doubles as the health bar. For example, if you chose 'sleek skin' over 'tough skin' for your first evolution, choose 'tough skin' the second time through. Something as simple as choosing a different evolution between each level than you chose the first time around can make the game a lot harder. Instead of looking at the end of the game as just the end, try starting over from the beginning and choosing different evolutions when you're offered the chance. For more experienced players looking for a real challenge, that might be a problem. While in the beginning, it offers an excellent challenge, once you get through the first two or three levels, the game can be pretty easy. ![]() That's both a benefit and a disadvantage. Once you get used to moving the worm around, the game gets a lot easier. That can be a fairly difficult goal to accomplish at least until you get the hang of the controls. Basically, you play as a giant, evolving worm and your only goal is to eat all of the enemies in each level. This game definitely isn't like most of the other stick games online which is really what makes it so appealing. Although it is based on another similar game called Death Worm, most fans of stick figure games will find this one undeniably unique. The EMP scene had to feature a wave of doznens of strongest Machines and maybe even multiple bosses attacking simultaneously.Effing Worms is without a doubt one of the most unusual stick figure games online. Final scene with unleasing of EMP - too few Machines died by EMP - that wave looked like no threat and could easily be stopped by Lighting gun or Thor cannon. Final boss - too simple and generic both looks wise and gameplay wise, after the intresting 3rd boss which required a special tactic to beat, this one was a dissapointment. My favourites are the saw shooters and self-detonating ones as they bring most of challenge in game as player must decide whether to prioritize attacking them or closest and strongest melee machine. Machines - nice variety, some represented machines from the movie, others were unique but looked like they belong to the same universe, all looked menacing and fun to destroy. ![]() Weapons - all weapons looked, sounded and felt increadibly powerful, the two final ones, lighting gun and Thor cannon are simply Uber. This game captures the cinematic feel really well and adds to it by adding powerful lighting weapons. I really like the theme of this game ,most games inspired by Matrix focus on simulation world, but I always liked the real word tech and always wanted to play out a battle similar to one in Matrix Revolutions. ![]() Your pharmacist can give you advice about the best treatment for you.

It may be necessary to inspect flats roofs more frequently, if the internal use is moisture critical e.g. This inspection should include the rainwater goods, valley gutters and rainwater outlets. Surveys should also be carried out after storms. ![]() Therefore, it is advisable that a flat roof be inspected twice a year, preferably in the spring and autumn, to arrange the clearance of leaves, debris and dirt that may prevent proper drainage or cause deterioration, and to identify at an early stage any signs of failure. However, all too often poor maintenance or lack of additional treatments such as gravel or solar reflective paint, as well as movement within the roof structure itself, can lead to premature failure. Felt roofs of this age can continue to perform well, especially if the owner continues to maintain and protect them. Many homes have substantial flat-roofed extensions, with this there is a common misconception that the felt coverings have a life span of 10 to 15 years. However, jump to the present day, and while flat roofs have grown in size, this has not always been matched by improvements in quality In Victorian houses, flat roofs played a fairly minor role. Typically, this is not a DIY job.īe sure to find an installer who stands behind their work and can help you make the best decisions for selecting and maintaining your roof.The pros and cons of what to consider if you are looking to buy, or already own, a home with a flat roof. However, since water drains more slowly from a flat roof, you want to make sure it’s installed correctly. It’s essential to hire experienced and reputable roofing professionals.Īll roofs can leak. So, research options to decide which approach works best for your application and budget. There are pros and cons to each flat roofing system, including differences in costs and maintenance. Unfortunately, it’s relatively easy to puncture a membrane roof, but repairs are pretty simple. This is typically the lightest weight option. Sheets of a flexible, waterproof membrane (often rubber) are rolled out. When the sheets are unrolled, a torch is used to heat the underside, which helps the material adhere to the base layer. Modified bitumen (MBR)Ī lighter-weight alternative to BUR, modified bitumen is an asphalt-based material with a mineral coating, similar to asphalt shingles. But it’s also the heaviest and may require extra structural support. This is the traditional method of finishing a flat roof. The most common systems are: Built-up roofing (BUR)Īlternating layers of roofing felt and hot asphalt (or tar) are built up, and the top asphalt layer is covered with gravel to reflect the sun and protect the lower layers. ![]() In contrast, low-slope roofs require a continuous waterproof surface so standing water can slowly drain or evaporate. ![]() Overlapping shingles work well on pitched roofs since gravity readily pulls water downward. Three types of flat roof systems are most common. Flat roof systems typically include a layer of insulation below the roofing material, but the lack of an attic limits your ability to add insulation later. Homes with flat roofs don’t have attics, so there’s less storage space. Of course, you’ll also need to factor in the weight of any rooftop features, like a deck-plus snow accumulation, if applicable, in the winter. ![]() There are drawbacks to flat roofs, too.įlat roofs often weigh more than pitched roofs and may require additional structural support, especially if the roofing material is heavy. You’ll also have more options for installing an array of solar panels. You might be able to use the roof for outdoor living space or additional storage. Walking on flat roofs is easier and safer than on pitched roofs, making installing, inspecting, and maintaining a flat roof simpler. However, there are significant differences in the cost of materials used to finish the roof. Since a flat roof is constructed without trusses, it may cost less to build one. Scuppers are another option-large square openings in the roofline with downspouts directly below the scuppers to carry the water away. Since a flat roof isn’t actually flat, some prefer calling them “low-slope” roofs.Ī house with a flat roof is often higher in the center and uses gutters and downspouts to collect roof water and divert it away from the home. With a flat roof, however, the pitch may be as little as 1/4- to 1/2 inch per linear foot. Flat roofs aren’t flat.Įvery roof must slope, to some degree, for water to drain. What should you know about flat roofs if you’re new to them? 1. Would you like to buy a home with a flat roof? Do you already own one? Even though flat roofs are more common in commercial buildings, they’re also popular for many single- and multiple-family residences. ![]() There are various other reasons why BOINC won't display a project's screen saver, such as BOINC will not display it if you install as a service (though there's a trick to making it do so), or having a password protected screen saver.

Why convert HEIC to JPG image format?Īlthough HEIC is a newer file format that was introduced by Apple in 2017, it is still tied only to the Apple ecosystem. Well, if you also want to process with such conversions, here are some HEIC to JPG converter sources that work best on both Windows and Mac OS. This is why mostly professionals use an online HEIC to JPG converter to turn HEIC into JPG file format. This regular image format is fully capable to compress images into smaller files, that’s why it becomes the popular format for web-designers over the years. On the other hand, JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) raster image type that store digital photos by using different colour pixels. When it comes to HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Codec), it works best for image compression and quality. Yes, HEIC and JPG both are image file formats that are taken into account for certain purposes. They also store editing information, so even once you’ve saved edits to an image, you can reverse them in the future.Why is it mostly professionals use an online HEIC to JPG converter to turn HEIC into JPG file format? HEICs, while also a lossy file format, tend to retain better image quality over time. This means the quality of a file can degrade over time as you edit and re-edit, destroying more data each time. Editing.īecause JPEG is a lossy file format, the files lose data each time you edit and resave an image. This limits its flexibility when it comes to website design and can make it less suitable for logos. The JPEG format, on the other hand, doesn’t support transparency. Transparency is especially useful in web design because it allows images - like logos or graphics - to merge seamlessly with the existing background of a webpage. HEICs support image transparency in a similar way to PNG files. You may even need to convert your HEIC files to JPEGs when transferring photos from an iPhone to a PC. HEICs have become more commonplace in recent years, but their primary use is on Apple devices. While JPEGs have almost universal compatibility, HEIC files don’t. You can also view JPEGs in most modern web browsers by simply dragging and dropping the file. It’s a straightforward process to open and edit JPEGs almost anywhere - from Windows computers to Macs, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and beyond. JPEG files have a longer history than HEICs and are generally more compatible across operating systems, software, and devices. The HEIC format can actually enhance the quality of photos with transparency and a broader dynamic range capabilities. When it comes to both compression and image quality, HEIC files win out over JPEG. More streamlined storage is one of the reasons why Apple made the switch from JPEG to HEIC back in 2017. This can ease the strain on your hard drive while allowing you to store a much larger number of files. Their innovative compression process means HEICs can use as little as half the space that a JPEG file would. Most HEIC files will take up significantly less room than a JPEG on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. HEICs break images into significantly smaller files without affecting quality. On the other hand, HEICs offer a much more efficient, modern compression method than the older JPEG format. The trade-off for that smaller file size is what’s known as lossy compression, which means that whenever you edit and resave a JPEG, it loses some background data. What is the difference between HEIC and JPEG files?ĭespite their shared ability to store detailed photographs, there are many differences in compression, size, image quality, and compatibility between HEIC and JPEG files to consider before choosing between them: Compression.īecause they can compress large images into more manageable files, JPEGs are the more popular choice for many web designers. |
