This same information is now available in the interactive map. Historical traffic countsīefore the creation of the interactive traffic count map, data from 2000 to 2010 was made available on county and municipality PDFs. Short duration counts are collected over three, six, or 10-year cycles at more than 26,000 rural and urban locations throughout the state. This count is then adjusted for the variation in traffic volume throughout the year and the average number of axles per vehicle. The AADT is based on a short duration traffic count, usually 48 hours, taken at the location. This value is called the "annual average daily traffic" or AADT and is represented on traffic count or traffic volume maps. This website is managed by a third party that is not subject to the Official Languages Act. Traffic counts are reported as the number of vehicles expected to pass a given location on an average day of the year. The link to is provided for your convenience.

Let’s look at an example of moving from head to head that works. Especially in any single scene, stick with just one or two, three at most. So how do you avoid the kind of head-hopping that’s the mark of a novice writer, one not yet ready for publication? These two rules of thumb are a start:ġ) If you’re using an omniscient POV, establish it in the first paragraph or two.Ģ) Don’t try to give everyone’s thoughts and feelings. But if you’re writing from an omniscient POV, you may move from one character’s thoughts to another’s. If you’re writing from the first person or third person close POV, the solution is simple: never, ever head-hop. What? The reader is immediately disoriented-I thought we were sticking with Karen? Steve wondered if this meant he’d gotten the job. She looked up at Steve, smiling a bright, false smile. It was all becoming so tedious, and she had paperwork to finish before lunch. Here we are on page four: Karen stifled a yawn as she glanced again at the resume. Imagine that you’ve just started a book in which you’ve followed Karen for two or three pages throughout her busy day at the office and into an interview with a job applicant. It’s also the kind of amateur mistake that will make agents and editors write you off. This is extremely confusing to the reader-it breaks a sort of pact made in the opening pages. That’s when a writer carefully establishes third person close with one character, and then without warning randomly drifts into other people’s heads. You’ve probably heard about the horrors of head-hopping. ![]() The catch is that omniscient POV is tricky to do, and easy to get wrong. What are the odds: other people too have feelings and desires and fears. Many of the greatest novels ever written move in and out of intimacy with more than one character, so much so that that movement becomes almost a moral, mind-opening act. ![]() It’s also much easier to control than omniscient POV.īut omniscient POV offers other readerly (and writerly) pleasures. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that-many, many brilliant books and stories use third person close. You know: like you do in your own head every day. Third person allows the reader to slip into a single consciousness, to identify with just that one, and see the others as threats or objects of desire. People will warn you that omniscient POV is less intimate. The omniscient narrator knows what all the characters see and feel and know, as well as things none of them know, like what’s past and to come. These days, the most common POV in fiction is “third-person close.” That’s where the narration only sees what your main character sees, only knows what she knows, can only speak her feelings.īut an omniscient narrator knows much more than what’s happening in front of and inside the main character. Omniscient point of view-that godlike narrator who knows it all-is out of fashion. But if you do it right, it can crack your writing open in the best way. ![]() A previous version of the plist gist contained spaces, and while it worked, it’s not the most compatible solution.

It's one of a handful of doorbell cameras that integrates with Alexa, Google Assistant, and HomeKit. This is a mains-powered unit, so we'd recommend it's professionally installed, but Arlo does offer a battery-powered version called Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wire-Free. Thanks to the camera's 180-degree field of view and 1:1 aspect ratio, you can view the entire length of the person at your door, including any packages on the ground by their feet. Slim and stylish, it displays super-detailed footage. If you already have other Arlo devices, it's a no-brainer if not, it should still be top of the list of considerations. In our opinion, Arlo's first video doorbell is the best available on the market right now. And we're always updating our guide with the latest, greatest models as they're related. Our testers have tried so many digital doorbells we're amazed we don't have tinnitus, and and a result we know what features really matter, what specifications are the most important and which video doorbells will work best with your existing smart home kit. And some wired models will require professional installation the alternative is to go for a battery model that's much easier to fit but that will require regular recharging. Those subscriptions are rarely very expensive, but they are an ongoing cost you'll need to consider when you're deciding which model to buy. ![]() However, like those cameras you'll often find that some of their most impressive features require a paid subscription. The best video doorbells are very similar to the best home security cameras, and like those cameras the tech has improved dramatically in a very short period of time. Some even have object and face recognition to reduce false alarms and greet specific people with pre-recorded hellos. Some of the very best models aren't just wireless doorbells with cameras: they have motion detection, automatically moving into recording mode and notifying your phone, tablet or smart speaker when somebody approaches. Mounting screws are provided.The big smart home brands including Ring, Google Nest, Eufy and Arlo are here to ensure that you never miss a knock at the door – or answer the door to somebody you don't want to see, such as cold callers.
![]() The Cetus ships disassembled in kit form although the mainboard/Y-axis and X/Z axis rails arrive assembled. The app version includes the same functionality as the desktop version with status and monitoring information, a simple interface, and the ability to alter settings, trigger prints, load print models from the cloud and more within a simple app-friendly interface. UP Studio’s functionality and the embedded array of tinkering options mimic the printers surface level simplicity with a world of detail and tuning available to those wishing to dig a little deeper into the intricacies of 3D printing. UP Studio features the standard fare of slicer features from 3D modeling of the build, rotation, scaling, STL, UP3, OBJ, 3MF, PLY, OFF, 3DS, Gcode, JPG, BMP, PMG file type support, 2D to 3D lithophane creation tool, supports, error detection, print initialization, infill, draft, quality, layer thickness, etc. ![]() Slicing and printer control duties fall to Tiertime’s proprietary UP Studio software and UP Studio iOS app. Other features of the Cetus include Smart Support Technology that automatically generates easy to remove supports for prints with overhangs (supports can be customized and fine-tuned as well) and software-assisted bed leveling.Ĭonnectivity is either through USB-to-PC or Wi-Fi for untethered use with both Windows and MacOS. Both should open up the Cetus to ABS, ASA, HIPS, PP, PC, nylon, and metal/fiber composite materials.įilament diameter is 1.75 mm with open-source support meaning you can use cartridges from third-parties without any issues although Tiertime does offer its own Cetus-optimized PLA in 700 g spools in a range of colors with low-warp and low-odor properties. Tiertime also offers a heated bed option (up to 100 degrees centigrade) and soon a steel nozzle upgrade. The Cetus supports PLA primarily but is also compatible with PET, PETG, TPU, TPE, PVA, and Wood-filled material. It’s designed for easy removal of prints while holding them securely in place while the printer is working away and negates the need for painter’s tape, hairspray, glue or your adhesive of choice. The surface is a textured, adhesive layer that sticks to PLA and similar materials. The coating recipe is a well-kept secret on Tiertime’s part. The non-heated print bed consists of 3 mm of aluminum fixed directly onto the Y-axis linear rail with a unique nozzle height error tolerant coating designed to secure the first layer of the print model to the bed. The combination of nozzle diameters and resolutions mean the Cetus is versatile enough to manage both detail-oriented final product printing and quickly-rendered prototypes or draft pieces. The compact single extruder is of the direct drive variety with interchangeable PEEK-made nozzles with diameters of 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.6 mm with layer resolutions of 50, 70, 100, 200, 250, 300, and 350 microns. Belted stepper motors assure movement on the axis. The linear rails on each axis ensure quiet, precise functionality with the extruder rail controlling the X-axis, while the print bed runs on the Y-axis, and finally, the extruder rail moves along the Z-axis module. It uses Melted Extrusion Modeling (MEM) print tech with a cantilever design. ![]() The build volume is a modest 180mm x 180mm x 180mm that relative to the size and weight (12.1 lbs) of the printer is an amazing ratio. The chassis is constructed with high-quality aluminum extrusions that coupled with the linear rail axis modules, and the low-profile rubber footed mainboard, keep the model upright with a non-chambered, guts exposed, minimalist feel that belies an impressive rigidity. The minimalist, open-ended functionality also extends to modding as the Cetus is ripe for tinkering and add-ons. It’s small and lightweight, but remarkably sturdy while the small footprint and portability mean it is easily transported from home to office or wherever else it might be needed with minimal hassle. Combined they create a small form factor printer without any redundant, frivolous additions nor bells and whistles. The Cetus is a minimalist printer whose driving force springs forth from Tiertime’s desire to manufacture a 3D printer free of the complexity that unfortunately defines various models on the market with an emphasis on enjoyment and functionality.Ī quick look at the Cetus reveals a simple, yet intelligent design based on six core modular components: three-axis modules, a main board electronic module, a print bed, and an extruder.

Karl said those are new or replacement hydrants whose flow has yet to be measured. Also, on a recent drive down Lee Highway, Answer Man noticed many hydrants that were entirely yellow. ![]() Some other color notes: Hydrants on private property are generally painted red. It allows firefighters to punch an address into a laptop and pull up a map detailing the closest hydrants. For the past year, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, which maintains hydrants in Montgomery and Prince George’s, has been testing a computer program called HyLo. “Believe it or not, that is something that stays in your mind for many, many years.” He said that even when he was off duty, he couldn’t help scanning the streets for fire hydrants. Ken Willette of the National Fire Protection Association was a firefighter and fire chief in Massachusetts for 30 years. “I still have mine from when I was a rookie 13 years ago,” Karl said. When the alarm sounds and the rest of the crew is getting dressed, the driver consults the map book. When a hydrant temporarily goes out of service, they note that, too. Good drivers do something else, too: They compile hand-drawn map books that note the locations of hydrants, along with any quirks of address-numbering, one-way streets and obstructions that might block a fire truck. “I can tell you where they all are around Clarendon,” Karl said. When Karl was beginning his career, his captain used to take the rookies out on weekends to touch every single fire hydrant in their territory. Second and third dues are where you will come later, if needed. You have to know your streets, your first due, your second due, your third due.”įirst due are locations where your crew is expected to be the first responder. ![]() Part of the test to get off probation is a test of your territory. You learn the water system when you become a driver. “All of your drivers know where the hydrants are,” Karl said. If the flow is low, for example, several hydrants may need to be used, with a relay set up.īut does any of that matter if the firefighters can’t find the nearest hydrant? That is not a problem. Gregg Karl of the Arlington County Fire Department. “We have formulas we use for figuring out how much water is needed to extinguish a fire,” said Capt. The bonnet colors represent the flow of water at that hydrant: Blue is above 1,500 gallons per minute green is between 1,000 and 1,500 gpm orange is 500 to 1,000 gpm and red is below 500 gpm. That is because in the 1990s, the county adopted the hydrant coloring system recommended by the National Fire Protection Association. You would also be in Arlington County if the hydrant had a green top, orange top or red top. “Aha!” you say, “I am in Arlington County.” You focus your eyes and examine the hydrant. In Prince George’s and Montgomery counties, they are gray with green bonnets. In Alexandria, they have a yellow barrel and white bonnet and outlet caps. You know that in Fairfax County, fire hydrants have a silver barrel and a red top, or bonnet. Having read Answer Man, you are able to ascertain your whereabouts. Then you realize you are next to a fire hydrant. ![]() ![]() "Other members of the animal kingdom have been tagged as possible spies, including pigeons and cats." ![]() "Squirrel espionage would not be without precedent," noted Wired's Sharon Weinberger, at the time. Squirrels, not guinea pigs, were arrested as spies in Iran two years ago, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency, after border guards spotted their eavesdropping equipment.

But after a year and a half of researching a script, "I began to see there were a lot of crazy things really out there." "I actually had the idea from my 5-year-old son dressing up a guinea pig in gear," Yeatman says. But he points out a lot of military animal science is out there, and the movie reflects some real world science.
