![]() ![]() Coniferous, or softwood, species such as pine, spruce, fir, hemlock and western redcedar are predominant in close to 90 per cent of B.C.’s forests. ![]() B.C.’s rich forest diversity includes more than 40 different species of native trees, with some of Canada’s most interesting and valuable tree species. Historically, this diversity has presented a challenge to resource managers who want their actions to match the needs of each unique ecosystem. It has temperate rainforests, dry pine forests, boreal forests, alpine tundra, grasslands and more. It has the country’s only temperate desert, near Osoyoos in the far south, and North America’s wettest weather station, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. For thousands of years, aboriginal peoples have looked to the forest for shelter, clothing, food, tools and medicine.īritish Columbia is Canada’s most ecologically diverse province. These vast forests are at the heart of B.C.’s history and its current way of life. Forests cover close to two-thirds of the province – an area of almost 60 million hectares (149 million acres). is characterized by its abundant forests, rugged Pacific coastline, mountainous terrain, plateaus, and numerous lakes and rivers. Only 30 countries in the world are bigger. Click on the other headings on this page to learn more about Pacific Northwest old-growth forests.īritish Columbia, Canada’s western-most province, covers 95 million hectares (235 million acres) – larger than any European country except Russia, and larger than any U.S. Much of this work was done by Pacific Northwest Research Station scientists. Scientists have done a lot of research on old-growth forests in the last 30 years. But several species of trees live for hundreds of years in the Pacific Northwest old-growth forest, not just one. In other forests, some junipers and bristlecone pines live longer. But several species of big trees grow in the Pacific Northwest old-growth forest, not just one. Some of California's giant redwoods are bigger than the biggest Douglas-fir tree. No other forest has an entire group of tree species that equals the trees in the Pacific Northwest old-growth forest for their size and long lives. The Pacific Northwest also has old-growth forests dominated by Sitka spruce and western hemlock, along the Pacific Coast, and at higher elevations in the Cascade Mountains, true fir and hemlock old-growth forests.Īmong all the forests of the world, the Pacific Northwest old-growth forest is unique because of the size and old age of its trees, the accumulations of biomass (weight and density of living organisms), and the climate, with its wet, mild winters and dry, warm summers. The youngest old-growth forests are 200 years old, and the oldest are about 1,000 years old. In the Pacific Northwest, the most common type of old-growth ecosystem is forests dominated by Douglas-firs and western hemlocks, generally 350 to 750 years old. The Pacific Northwest old-growth forest is a conifer forest, dominated by large, old trees.

![]() The structure would look like this: struct meter_lookup ", 60, PRIVATE, NO_ACK) // NOTE Added NO-ACK to save data. ![]() float flow = map(adc, omLow, omHigh, meters.toLow, meters.toHigh) Now, you simply use the value of “dip” to get key values for equations from a lookup table (an array of structures for example) and use those in a single formula. Let’s assume you go with two switches or jumper or whatever acts like a switch. With 3 switches you get 8 configurations and so on. So with two switches you can select 4 configurations. Thank with each dip switch associated with a pin, you can simply treat the switches as binary value: dip = 0 I was not able to find anything yet but I may have missed it. If someone already did this please link me to the post. I would have other sizes so the smaller unit would be dip switch 1 and the code obviously more complicated than this but her is a general idea.įloat flow = map(adc,1000.0, 8000.0, 0.0, 40.0) įloat flow = map(adc,2139.0, 10614.0, 0.0, 200.0) Īny help or suggestions is appreciated. Lets say that would be for a one inch meter with a flow of 0 to 200. This has LogicWorks4 - t written on its title bar. ![]() The window on the top left of the screen is called the design window. Start LogicWorks 4 by selecting it from the Start menu. I would use a 4 to 5 channel dip switch but not sure what pins to write those too as well as if they should be set to high or low… or if this will even work. This tutorial will show you how quickly you can create and test a circuit using LogicWorks. Instead of having different code with each size meter I want to have a dip switch that can be selected to tell my particle code which formula to use base on which dip switch is selected. They will each have a different flow rate, and reading scale. Can I wire a dip switch on my board that will tell my particle device what formula/part of the code to run?Įxample. I hope this is the right place to post this question.Īs I move forward with my project and design I came up with the following question. ![]() you can just pull trains and riposte mobs down on a knight, whereas you need to mvoe from mob to mob on a ranger. my Paladin on coirnav could literally pull half of veskar and laugh, where sure my ranger could laugh.until weapon shield fades~ Basically the dps difference between a raid geared knight and ranger vs light blues isnt outmatched by the rangers higher dps and the knights just take so much less damage. Ranger is fine, but im disappointed in the amount of damage I take vs light blues still. but sks can do what paladins can do there anywhere. the only time its a contest is a paladin in Veskar. Ive played time geared paladin, sk and ranger at this point, and its easily SK is the best soloer. Rangers get an early advantage due to the tradeskill bows, but once monks get their time/xegony fists, its over. just dont try and compare yourself against monks most of the time and you'll be fine. and while yes, on a burn fight you can beat monks, you can only burn once every hour and twelve minutes, whereas monks can burn more than twice as often. Luclin: Dust off that offhand epic cause its pew pew time. chain firestrike or dust devil, laugh as you destroy the dual wielding pleb rangers and compete with monks on any fight either nuke lands on, which i cant think off the top of my head of a fight where neither nuke lands. woodsman staff until you can get a Meljedin. oh, grab a woodsman staff too once the price plummets. Kunark: do epic, level to 60, log off and wait for velious. ![]() grab a smoldering brand and mudman enforcer all you need is banded and flame lick and its over. early on a fresh server, rangers make the best group tanks imo. My observations from playing a ranger for the first time on Mangler:Ĭlassic: its classic. Don't expect to be the best at any one thing, know the class and be able to fill multiple roles, and you'll probably have a ton of fun. Raid geared, so I'm not sure how a group geared ranger will fare in that role. On topic, I have spent many hours on TLPs with a ranger tank (playing alts). The 2.0 click is an "Oh S***" button most of the time. Lifetaps and lifetap procs in any zone short of RSS in OoW makes most single pulls trivial to a raid geared SK. ”I rarely click my SK 2.0 when soloing/boxing. Rangers are top dog at this until SKs get that sweet OP 2.0 click. Rangers do well in the grinding out AAs solo while they LFG department, crazy how a high DPS class that doesn't die or have to take med breaks can solo well for XP right? Being able to solo loot mobs for $$$ or things you need like aug/spells drops is much more important then being able to solo for XP as you progress into GoD, OoW ect. Every class will get significantly better XP in a groups. ↑ “ No class in the game can solo well for XP in PoP/GoD with the way things currently work. ![]() All aspects of human life - birth death physical, emotional, and educational needs and government and law must be met by the structure, systems, and institutions on-board. ![]() As the population expands from the initial 100 people to approximately 300, the terraformed asteroid, enclosed by a man-made shell will allow for expansion over its surface in the fashion of a small terrestrial town. Antimatter isn't new for physics its existence was first confirmed in 1932 by Carl Anderson, who discovered positrons, electrons that exhibit a positive charge instead of a negative one. The spacecraft must be a combination of sublight speed transportation system and a traveling microplanet serving an expanding population. The challenges encountered by manned interstellar travel are formidable. If perfected, however, such 'antimatter-catalyzed' fusion propulsion systems would make possible round trips to Mars and Jupiter in the range of 1.5 and 3. Compared to chemically powered rockets like the Apollo mission class which would take 50,000 years to reach the Centauri system, antimatter propulsion would reduce one way trip time to 30 years or less. These would still require considerable development of propulsion technology, industrial standard antimatter production, and reliably safe antimatter containment and direction techniques. The photograph shows a NERVA rocket test setup, while the drawing shows rocket modified for antimatter propulsion 70 would be much smaller and less massive. The Centauri project: Manned interstellar travel The development of antimatter engines for spacecraft propulsion will allow man to expand to the nearest stellar neighbors such as the Alpha Centuri system. The consequences of continued operation include saving 4,200 jobs and the annual generation of 22 billion kWhs of CO 2-free energy. The legislation provides Zero Emission Credits for the plants' CO 2-free electricity. The plans for closure were canceled, however, when the Illinois State Legislature passed and the Illinois Governor signed SB 2814, The Future Energy Jobs Bill. Exelon, the former owner and operator of the present reactor, announced plans to permanently close the power station in June 2017, due to the plants struggles to compete economically in wholesale markets, resulting in a loss of millions of dollars in recent years. The present reactor operating license was issued April 17, 1987, and will expire September 29, 2026. It won’t be easy politically, but Democrats have an opportunity to prove both of those points in Illinois.The station has a single generation II General Electric Boiling Water Reactor. And last month, it said that Democrats will use existing nuclear plants to address that challenge. The Democratic Party wants to lead on climate change. But what will happen if natural gas prices start climbing? Or if supplies get disrupted? That same day, natural gas-fired generation reached an all-time high of 316 gigawatts. On July 27, the US electric grid set a new record for the amount of natural gas that was burned to generate electricity: 47.2 billion cubic feet. But as more coal plants and nuclear plants are shuttered, more of the US electric grid is relying on natural gas. Yes, natural gas is cheap and abundant and it’s far cleaner than coal. If the California blackouts proved anything, it is that electric grids should not be too dependent on any one source of supply. Illinois should keep its nuclear plants operating so the domestic grid doesn’t become too dependent on natural gas. electric power plants set a daily record high of 47.2 billion cubic feet. The US electric grid is increasingly dependent on natural gas. That will mean Illinois’ greenhouse gas emissions will jump and the state’s climate goals will be much harder to achieve. If Byron and Dresden – as well as LaSalle and Braidwood - are shuttered, they, too, will largely be replaced by gas-fired plants. When nuclear plants in California, Vermont, and New York were closed, the bulk of their production was replaced by gas-fired generators. If the state’s reactors are shuttered, their output will not be replaced by renewables, it will be replaced by natural gas-fired power plants. ![]() But the bottom line is obvious: Illinois lawmakers should find a way to keep all of the state’s nuclear reactors operating. In short, like nearly everything involving electricity and electric grids, the rules and the politics are complicated. But as one news report put it, the bribery scandal involving ComEd and Madigan “has driven a wedge between the utility and state lawmakers.” Exelon has asked Illinois to set up another system that would allow its nuclear plants to get paid for the capacity value outside the PJM market. Nevertheless, Exelon said that Byron and Dresden “ face revenue shortfalls in the hundreds of millions of dollars.” In addition to the drop in wholesale electricity prices, nuclear operators like Exelon are getting hurt by the rules set by the grid operator, PJM, under its capacity market, which is a retainer to make sure enough generation capacity is available to assure grid reliability. ![]() This price list was last updated on May 24, 2023.

I got a good nights sleep, woke up early, and packed up. I met the couple next to my site, whom were in the midst of moving to Vancouver, BC from Montreal, QC. Needless to say, I slept with my firearm next to me. You know, where bears, coyotes, elk, and so forth will come through first. Here, it was the closest spot to the forest. I found a spot directly in the rear, and set up. The campground was just behind those trees He suggested one right in the middle of elk country. I went inside to get a drink, and asked the attendant about nearby campsites. Thus, I had to take the long way around to Jackson, WY. Wyoming and it’s dirt roads are another story. I’d move there tomorrow if it were possible in my life right now. Wow, I did not know Montana had so many beautiful parks, rivers, lakes, and a share of the Rocky Mountains. I left my hotel on the 21st, and began driving down to Jackson, WY. You still had a good hike.August 22nd, 2019 Grand Teton National Park from 50 miles away If the conditions do not look good, you can always turn around and try another day. Hikers need snow skills and knowledge of snow conditions to safely cross the slopes. Crossing the snow slopes may be dangerous. Upper Paintbrush Canyon retains snow through July. Paintbrush Canyon and the North Fork make great backcountry destinations as out and back hikes.Īlways check with the Jenny Lake Rangers on trail conditions before starting the hike.Īs a day hike and early start and good hiking pace is required. The Loop would make a great backpacking trip, but you would have to carry a heavier load over the Divide. We have hiked the Loop in both directions, but have only hiked it as a day hike. We also discuss gear, and other logistics. The Guide includes Route Data, Trailhead Directions, Route Description, Route Notes, Mileage, Map Links, and User Comments. We liked hiking up Paintbrush Canyon, first. The route can be hiked in either direction. The described route cuts 1.15 miles from the overall length and avoids the busy String Lake Picnic Area and the Inspiration Point - Hidden Falls area. Finally, follow the Jenny Lake Trail to the north to complete the loop at the String Lake Trailhead. The Horse Trail bypasses Inspiration Point as it descends to Jenny Lake Trail. About 0.30 mile before reaching Inspiration Point, the route takes the Horse Trail to the north. Continuing, the route descends the North Fork and then Cascade Canyon. After crossing the Divide, the route enters the North Fork of Cascade Canyon and descends to Lake Solitude. The route taken starts from the String Lake Trailhead, goes around the west side of String Lake, then up Paintbrush Canyon to the Divide. The signs are great waypoints that are easily definable. Quite a few of the photos are of trail signs. There are 60 photos in the Guide (and page 2), and wished we could have shared even more. ![]() The Tetons (to the south) soon came into view and we could hardly make any time hiking because we were having to stop to take photos of the mountains. ![]() Wow! Soon, we were looking down into the North Fork of Cascade Canyon and beautiful Lake Solitude. We climbed through Paintbrush Canyon to Holly Lake, above the lake to the upper slopes of the canyon, across the snow slopes and scree, and finally up a ramp to the divide. On our next visit to the Park we hiked the loop. We thought that it would make a great hike, it was the Paintbrush Divide Trail. As we climbed high along the ridge toward the summit of Woodring (we chose not to summit - but that's another story), we were able to see the hiking trail crossing the divide to the west in dramatic fashion. ![]() Paintbrush Divide Loop Trail in Grand Teton National Park is one of those special trails that crosses a divide and it crosses in grand fashion.Ī few years back as my wife and I were exploring the trails of the Tetons, we hiked to Holly Lake to climb Mount Woodring (which sits on the northern shore of the lake.) The trail and Holly Lake were great but the climb was not much fun, but the views were. Then, there are a few trails that go out one drainage, cross a divide, and then continue as the trail descends into a different drainage. To return to the trailhead it is just a matter of reversing the path. The trails follow a drainage that ends on the shores of an upper lake or land formation. Many hikes in the mountains are out and back, day hikes. ![]() Ohanaware’s free HDRtist software creates HDR photos from your images in a few clicks.
