Dog cat kite cartoon10/31/2023 Sagwa Miao – Sagwa (傻瓜 shǎguā, "silly melon head") is the middle child of the Miao family at 6-10 years old, as well as the titular protagonist of the series. ![]() The series won the Silver Plaque at the Chicago International Film Festival for Children's Film in 2001, as well as winning a Outstanding Individual in Animation award for background artist Valery Mihalkov at the 29th Daytime Emmy Awards and a "TV Series - Family / Children" award at WorldFest Houston in 2002.Ĭharacters Main article: List of voice actors Miao Family Arcand along with executive producers George Daugherty and Michel Lemire. The series was developed and produced for television by David Ka Lik Wong and Leon G. However, one aspect that sets this show apart is its display of various aspects of Chinese culture. She and her sibling s, along with various other cats and Fu-Fu the bat, have adventures that are usually accompanied by moral lessons, as is typical with most children's series. Sagwa resides in a palace of a magistrate in China in what is assumed to be the modern-day Fujian provinces of the People's Republic of China and Republic of China (possibly during the late Qing dynasty, shown by the characters' clothes), as part of a royal family of cats who have the ability to write with their tails. ![]() ![]() The series is notable for its setting and messages about family obligations and loyalty. 1895-1912 during the late Qing Dynasty, Sagwa has fun in her day-to-day life while learning and teaching valuable life lessons. Intensive green roofs10/31/2023 ![]() In summary, intensive green roofs are characterised by deeper soil profiles and a wider variety of plant species, offering greater design flexibility, recreational opportunities, and ecological benefits but requiring more maintenance and investment than extensive green roofs. They are often implemented on larger buildings, such as commercial or institutional structures, where the added benefits and aesthetic value justify the investment. However, due to the additional weight and maintenance requirements, intensive green roofs are typically more expensive to install and maintain than extensive green roofs. ![]() They can also help with energy efficiency by providing additional insulation for the building. Although there are no precise definitions of them, an extensive green. Extensive green roofs can be installed on roofs with a pitch up to 30º but preferably less than 20º. They fall into three main categories extensive, intensive, and semiintensive. Intensive green roofs must be installed on concrete roofs that have 0º pitch. Green roofs are also known as vegetative or ecoroofs. On the other hand, an intensive green roof requires regular. A green roof is a layer of vegetation planted over a waterproofing system that is installed on top of a flat or slightlysloped roof. They provide increased stormwater retention and absorption capacity, contribute to better air quality and noise reduction, offer more habitat opportunities for wildlife, and can create inviting spaces for human use, such as rooftop gardens or recreational areas. An extensive green roof requires minimal maintenance. ![]() Intensive green roofs offer several benefits beyond those provided by extensive green roofs. Access to the roof may also be necessary for maintenance activities. They often incorporate irrigation systems and regular pruning and trimming and may require regular fertilisation and pest control. This creates a more lush and diverse green space resembling a traditional garden setting.ĭue to the deeper soil and more complex vegetation, intensive green roofs require more maintenance and irrigation than extensive green roofs. The deeper soil allows for a more extensive root system, enabling the growth of larger plants, including small trees and shrubs. Intensive green roofs are more similar to traditional gardens and landscapes, with a greater emphasis on aesthetics and recreational use. Unlike extensive green roofs, which have shallow substrate layers and low-maintenance vegetation, intensive green roofs have deeper soil profiles, typically ranging from 6 to 24 inches (15 to 60 centimetres), which can accommodate a wider variety of plant species. Recover Green Roofs out of Boston determined that intensive roofs cost anywhere from 20 to 200 per square foot, while the most cost-effective extensive roofs are closer to 10 to 50 per square foot. An intensive green roof, also known as a rooftop garden or a high-profile green roof, is a type of green roof system designed to support a diverse range of vegetation, including trees, shrubs, perennials, and even lawns. Choosing to go with an extensive roof can save a ton of money upfront and in the long run. Dave grusin st. elsewhere theme song10/31/2023 He was seriously interested in finding songwriters. I did the score for my old friend Sydney Pollack who I'd done a lot of films with and he thought maybe we should have a song. There was an outlet for us to get these kinds of records out and have a home for them in some ways.ĭG: The backstory in a lot of these things, particularly the film stuff, seems to happen by accident, for instance, Tootsie. It seriously was a good thing for us commercially. So I think that was part of it, and the sudden advent of smooth jazz radio stations and so forth in those years was incredible. It makes it simple for them to talk to people about what they're doing and what they're selling. It wasn't a one-shot deal, and it took a number of years for it to develop into that point, but marketing people and people in the business - almost any kind of business - they love titles they can grab a hold of and categorize. Maybe that's how we ended up with "smooth jazz"?ĭG: Yeah, that's a very good analysis, I think. But when you look at the production values of what was going on in the eighties - a lot of the new synthesizers, the emulator, all those new samplers - I have a feeling that the jazz of the time embraced those sonics to become more marketable, even aiming at being a form of pop since everyone else was successful using them. MR: The term is almost a derogatory one at this point in the same way that one would say "singer-songwriter," and the like, with corresponding stereotypes. Larry, being the kind of Type A he is, went up to Clive and said, "We have a production company and you ought to sign us to produce new artists for your label." So that was how that started, in terms of the record company. One time, Larry was on an airplane and Clive Davis was on the plane. It was so much fun that from there, we got involved with a lot of young artists like this. Our first artist was a guitar player named Earl Klugh, and this was not for GRP, this was for another label, but it was the first time Larry and I worked together strictly as a production team. Anyway, I got him to go on the road with us and we played a lot of gigs together in those days, and quite a few years later, we formed a production company to produce albums. He was playing with something called The Newport Youth Band, which was an incredible all-star young band affiliated with the Newport Jazz Festival. ![]() ![]() When I finally talked Andy into letting us take a drummer along, it was Larry, so that's when I met him. I was a music director for Andy, and Larry was a nineteen-year-old drummer. If anybody remembers, back in the sixties, there was and is a singer named Andy Williams. DG: Yes, that predated the recording thing by quite a few years. Mission crossbow reviews10/31/2023 ![]() ![]() The ACUslide decocking mechanism on the TenPoint Vapor RS470 is truly revolutionary. We looked at ease of use, balance, and fit and finish of each crossbow. This category is all about the user experience. The Excalibur Assassin 400 TD had the best average, but all five crossbows shot groups effective enough for any hunter. The worst group was thrown out to account for human error, and we averaged the best two groups for the final score. These numbers are often determined by the marketing department and are unreliable when compared to the actual field weight of the crossbow when set up to hunt. Portabilityĭon’t be fooled by the weight listed on manufacturers’ spec lists. The goal is to determine the usability of each crossbow in a hunting application and not just on the test range. The human factor is present in the test, especially in the accuracy and ergonomics categories. In each category, a score from 0 to 5 was given with 5 being the highest possible score. We rated five attributes of each model (portability, trigger pull, accuracy, ergonomics, and velocity) and recorded the results. As in past tests, the scores are based on portability, trigger pull, accuracy, ergonomics, and velocity. The strengths and weaknesses of each crossbow were assessed to compile a total score. The CenterPoint Amped 415 fits nearly every hunter’s budget with a price point of less than $400. A budget-minded crossbow is also included. This year’s test includes four flagship models ranging from $1,799 to $3,000. First-time and youth hunters are also embracing crossbows as they lack the painful recoil and loud report of firearms. Gun hunters are using the crossbow as an introduction to archery hunting. Many vertical bow archers are aging and unable to shoot their bows effectively. They are excellent tools for hunter retention and recruitment. But it seems as though crossbows are here to stay for a number of reasons. As technology continues to advance, some states and provinces are studying whether or not they are too effective. Crossbows continue to grow in popularity despite ongoing controversy. Nytimes election results today10/31/2023 ![]() “No one can tell me that there are not people across this country, and certainly in this state, certainly in the last couple of weeks, that are not questioning the integrity of our elections. Some Republican lawmakers, who had raised concerns about the security of drop boxes during the pandemic, said the Bridgeport videos prove they were correct. The state has launched its own investigation. Gomes is asking the judge to declare him the winner or order a new primary election. In Connecticut, voters using a drop box must return their completed ballot themselves or designate certain family members, police, local election officials or a caregiver to do it for them.Ī judge will hear arguments in Gomes’ legal challenge this coming Thursday, with testimony expected over several days. Gomes has said he has spoken with those shown in the videos and been told they were dropping off ballots for relatives. Ganim, who has denied involvement, is pointing to another batch of videos posted online that appear to show Gomes’ supporters making multiple stops at other ballot drop boxes. Gomes, who lost by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast, filed an election challenge a week later after a video appeared to show a Ganim supporter putting several envelopes into a drop box outside a city hall annex in the early morning. 12 primary in the Bridgeport mayor’s race between incumbent Joe Ganim and his challenger, John Gomes, the city’s former chief administrative officer. ![]() The videos have trickled out in the weeks since the Sept. “It’s well established that drop boxes themselves are very safe and secure.” “It risks making what is the exception the rule in some folks’ mind,” said David Levine, a former local election official in Idaho who is now a senior fellow with the German Marshall Fund’s Alliance for Securing Democracy. It’s a perception that election officials have been fighting for three years. The videos and the fact that the claims are being pushed by two Democratic candidates threaten to further inflame criticism from the right that drop boxes are vehicles for election mischief. Users have promoted the investigation as evidence for the persistent, false narratives about widespread fraud connected to ballot drop boxes. News of the Bridgeport videos has spread through right-wing social media platforms and on far-right media, connecting the controversy to the 2020 stolen election claims. Despite mounds of evidence showing the election was fair and accurate, a solid majority of Republicans still believe it was not.Īmong the many conspiracy theories that have fueled that belief on the right are those surrounding ballot drop boxes. Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, has been doubling down on his lies about his loss in the 2020 election as he faces criminal charges related to his attempts to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s win. But its ripple effects travel far beyond the city of 148,000 and could have implications for the elections next year across the country. On the surface, the controversy is a local matter: Two candidates are accusing each other of fraud in a municipal election. We should get rid of these boxes completely.” “This exact same thing could be happening in every single municipality in this state. “How do we know that it’s only Bridgeport?” said Dubitsky, who represents an area of the state that has grown more conservative in the Trump era. Doug Dubitsky, a Republican, evoked the widely debunked movie “2000 Mules” during a legislative debate over the controversy surrounding the Bridgeport mayor’s race. Republicans have seized on the spat, which is now headed to a legal showdown that could result in a new election, to say it validates their concerns that drop boxes are ripe for fraud. They are being made by Democrats - two candidates vying for mayor in Connecticut’s largest city, in a heavily Democratic state that began allowing drop boxes to be used during the COVID-19 pandemic. The accusations of drop box fraud are not coming from those pushing fringe election claims or from skeptical Republicans who have long favored eliminating or severely restricting use of the boxes. Instead, the video footage has become central to a real-world controversy over potential fraud involving ballot drop boxes, a favorite target of right-wing conspiracy theorists since former President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election. It’s not a trailer for the latest conspiracy movie about rigged elections. At yet another, the same car stops on at least three separate occasions, with different people stepping out and heading to the box. ![]() At a different drop box, someone else is seen making multiple trips to insert ballots. A woman approaches a drop box in the dark with what appears to be handfuls of ballots. Daily horoscope vice10/31/2023 Postpone as much as possible for another day.
