![]() If the air is filled with water vapor, it can't hold much additional water. The heat index describes what the air feels like given the combination of temperature and humidity. Why do you think your skin feels cool when alcohol is rubbed on it? Because alcohol evaporates very rapidly. When that moisture evaporates, we cool down because the process of evaporation always extracts heat. Water, in the form of perspiration, springs up on our bodies. When the weather heats up, a gland in our brain called the hypothalamus tries to regulate the body temperature by setting off our 10 million sweat glands. The dew point reflects the water vapor content in the air, and that water vapor influences the natural cooling mechanism of our bodies: sweating. The dew point is an excellent indicator of comfort. Comfort levels seem to be a combination of both temperature and humidity, with the moisture content of the air playing a huge role. Amazingly, in the morning on such a day, the relative humidity would be higher, but you probably wouldn't be complaining, because the temperature would be lower in the morning. During those days, the temperature reaches close to or over 90 degrees in the afternoon. Then there are days when the relative humidity checks in at a seemingly comfortable 40 percent, but the air is stifling. But if the temperature is low enough, nobody seems terribly uncomfortable. For example, if the temperature lowers, the humidity will automatically increase and could reach 100 percent. When it comes to what makes you most uncomfortable, it's probably a combination of both heat and humidity, but the relative humidity alone is the poorest indicator of comfort. Any increase in water vapor, or decrease in temperature, will result in condensation. So when saturation is reached, the temperature equals the dew point and the relative humidity becomes 100 percent. When it is filled to overflowing, the condition is called condensation. The point at which the glass is totally filled is called saturation. Eventually it matches the level of its contents, and finally it spills over. ![]() In this whole humidity and dew-point concept, just keep thinking of a glass getting smaller and smaller. So dew point is the temperature at which the vapor goes over to a liquid. Additional cooling brought the capacity within the air below the amount of vapor present. It didn't rain, but the temperature cooled at night, and eventually the lowered capacity matched the amount of vapor present. Where did the water come from? That's easy. Skies are clear, yet, in the morning, everything is wet with dew. You see this happening all the time.įor example, you go to bed at night, and the lawn and car are dry. A lowered temperature will increase the relative humidity. An increasing temperature will lower the relative humidity. If the water-vapor content remains the same, the humidity becomes dependent on the temperature. The relative humidity will increase if more vapor collects in the atmosphere, or if the temperature is lowered. Again, the relative humidity will depend on how tall a glass might be (capacity) and how full that glass might be. If the glass is three-quarters filled, the relative humidity is 75 percent. Just to be an optimist, if the glass is half-filled, the relative humidity is 50 percent. Relative humidity becomes the ratio between the actual amount of water vapor present to the capacity that the air has at a particular moment. The point at which the atmosphere is totally filled is called saturation. So the whole process is a function of temperature.ĭew point is the temperature at which the vapor in the atmosphere becomes liquid. Eventually, you can even walk-or at least skate-on that water. If the temperature lowers even more, the molecules become closer. The water can take the form of a visible plume of steam, like a cloud, or just raindrops that form pools of water on the ground. If the heat is reduced, the temperature lowers, and the molecules no longer move around as much. The vapor itself comes from the water that is evaporated from the earth's surface, including oceans and lakes. The water molecules are far enough apart that the vapor is invisible. Like popcorn, water vapor molecules are bouncing around, thanks to heat in the atmosphere. But then, as heat is added and the temperature increases, the kernels start popping, and the popped corn moves around. When the heat is first turned on, the kernels are just sitting there, solidly, on the bottom of the popper. How about temperature? Think of the molecules as popcorn in a popper.

I actually didn't end up going in more than my feet but many guests and children seemed to be enjoying the facility. I just took the risk and slept with the door unlocked. I did not bother reporting this back to the hotel - I had already been to them 3 times about my other room and did not have the time or energy. For this one, I was able to get in but the actual lock did not work from the inside. The second room was about the same condition. They happily accommodated me (again, the staff was super helpful and nice). After leaving my room to check out the pool, I returned not being able to get in again and decided I didn't feel safe and asked to change rooms. The sheets and covering were thin - the air conditioner was loud. The beds were not comfortable when you sat down, but I didn't really have a problem sleeping on them. The bathroom was not "dirty" but it didn't look fresh or inviting and there was a hair on my toilet. The room was very old - paint clearly hasn't been touched up and the walls are scuffed and dirty, there is a gap between the door and the floor, the light switches were dirty. ![]() I was able to get it to work the second time, but not before swiping it more than once and jarring the door open. My room lock did not work when I first checked in and I had to schlep back to the front to get the keys reset. I didn't feel very safe back there by myself. The walkways were dank and did not appear that they'd be very friendly at night. The rooms are motel style, stacked two stories with the doors opening to a walkway. So from a staff perspective, very nice and hospitable! The room I was provided was in the furthest building away from the entry and the pool. I want to be fair to say that everyone I encountered that worked here was extremely pleasant and wanted to be helpful - they are just working in the confines of what they have. I did not take any photos of my room because to be honest, I was trying very hard to ignore the conditions of it so as to now freak out and just get through sleeping two nights there. I think it is unfortunate that hotels/motels/resorts are not required to be more honest about the condition of their hotel but please know it looks nothing like the stock photos provided. I'm leaving this review because I think its very misleading that this motel (this is not a hotel, nor a resort) has a very good rating. ![]() ![]() Each figure rolls defense dice separately.

Powell moved to the UK in the 1970s to improve her career there, playing her first round at the Old Course at St Andrews in 1975. She was friends with fellow golfer Patty Berg, who encouraged her career and advised her on how to hold golf clinics. She undertook a USO Tour in 1971, which included meeting troops in Vietnam at the height of the war. She visited Africa 25 times, and taught golf to heads of state and other people while there. Her win was a course-record when she scored a final-round of 67 strokes. Powell won the 1973 Kelly-Springfield Tournament in Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia. By 1969, the LPGA insisted that they were an integrated tour and announced this at any towns they were visiting in order to head off problems before they might start for Powell. Her parents were also happy to help her out financially. When they were not served, Powell would joke, "I didn't want to tell you, but it's because you're Canadian." Powell did not make enough money to live just off her golf earnings, so she also worked at Wilson Sporting Goods and doing golf clinics and exhibitions. Sometimes, however, Powell and Post would not be served at restaurants and left hungry. When she toured with Canadian golfer Sandra Post, the two would work together to ensure that Powell would be able to get a room. There were times she was not allowed to stay inside the official tournament hotels. When she was a rookie in the LPGA, she received death threats by people who did not want to see a black woman playing golf. She became the second African American player in the LPGA. In 1967, she joined the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). Powell competed in more than 250 professional golf tournaments. Professional career Clearview Golf Club greens When she wanted to play in the Ohio State Golf Association tournament, OSU backed her decision and stated that they would leave the organization if Powell was not allowed to play. Powell captained the women's golf team at both universities and at OSU, her role as captain made her the first African American to lead a major university golf team. At OU she was majoring in speech and hearing therapy, but changed her major to sociology when she transferred to OSU. She went on to attend Ohio University (OU) and then transferred to Ohio State University (OSU). Powell graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1964. She was considered a favorite in the 1964 United Golf Association (UGA) National Open and went on to take the amateur title that year. In the summer of 1964, she won a "sudden death" match in the Lyle Chevrolet women's golf tournament. She entered the Girls' Junior Championship again in August 1963. In 1963 she won the Akron Tire Town open for a third time. In the junior championship, she caused an upset in winning the first round. The Akron Beacon Journal called her the "Queen of the Bantam Golf Show." In 1962, she was the first African American to enter the U.S. She had won the Great Lakes Bantam Golf Tournament, the Columbiana County Open, Clearview Golf Club junior, Sixth City Ladies (three times), Tiretown Open Ladies (twice), Vehicle City tourney, and the Midwest District Junior in three consecutive years. By 1961, she had 50 trophies and was playing golf daily on her father's golf course. Three years later, in 1960, she had 30 youth tournament trophies. Powell entered her first amateur tournament at the age of 12 and won her division. She helped maintain the Clearview golf course, driving a tractor. Her early life was quiet, and Powell played a number of different sports as a young person, including archery, ballet and basketball. He made miniature golf clubs for her to use as a child and was her golf teacher. Her father, Bill Powell, is the first African American to create and build his own golf course in the US. She began playing golf at the age of three. ![]() ![]() Renee Powell was born in East Canton, Ohio, where she was raised Catholic. In 2017, she was inducted to the PGA America Hall of Fame. She is also a member of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority. Powell is a member of the Ohio Golf Hall of Fame. Following her retirement in 1980, she appeared as a television commentator and became the head professional of the Clearview Golf Club in 1995. In 1977, she became the first woman to compete in a men's golf tournament. She moved to the UK in the 1970s to further her career and joined the British PGA. After winning several youth amateur trophies in her teens and captaining the women's golf teams at Ohio University and Ohio State University, she turned professional in 1967. The daughter of golf course entrepreneur Bill Powell, Renee grew up in Ohio and took up golf at an early age. She was the second African-American woman ever to play on the LPGA Tour. Renee Powell (born May 4, 1946) is an American professional golfer who played on the US-based LPGA Tour and is currently head professional at her family's Clearview Golf Club in East Canton, Ohio. ![]() Abercrombie & Fitch Satin High-Slit Midi Dress (130) Abercrombie & Fitch Satin High-Slit Midi Dress.

The problem can cause the side air bags to deploy late in a crash, and the parking brake can come on unexpectedly. The documents say the electrical contacts on a wiring harness in either of the front doors can corrode, interrupting electrical connections. Volkswagen says in documents posted Friday by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the recall covers certain Atlas SUVs from the 2019 through 2023 model years, as well as the 2020 through 2023 Atlas Cross Sport. Many reported that warning lights and alarms would go off, the driver’s side windows would roll down and the SUVs would suddenly brake while in traffic. The recall comes three days after The Associated Press reported that 47 people had complained to US safety regulators about the problem, some reporting nearly being rear-ended by other vehicles. Volkswagen is recalling more than 246,000 SUVs in the US and Canada because faulty wiring harnesses can make them brake unexpectedly, sometimes while in traffic.

![]() Males faced a lot of competitors to defend their territory against. Young ones found themselves born into a world with far more mice than meaningful social roles. Past day 315, more than six hundred mice now lived in Universe 25, rubbing shoulders on their way up and down the stairwells to eat, drink, and sleep. Then they started to reproduce and the population increased exponentially, doubling every fifty-five days. It took months for the rodents to familiarize themselves with their new world. Or maybe not? Beginning of experimentįour pairs of disease-free mice, selected from the National Institutes of Health’s elite breeding colony, moved in on day one. There were no predators, the temperature stable. There was abundant food, water, and nesting material. universe 25Įvery aspect of Universe 25, as this particular model was called, was designed to cater for the well-being of its rodent residents, increase their lifespan, and allow them to mate. What’s going on here? In 1972, John B Calhoun detailed the specifications of an utopia designed for mice: built in the laboratory. The full storyĬannibalism, asexuality, and violence. Colhoun had been creating utopian environments for rats and mice since the 1940s, with consistent results: overpopulation leads to explosive violence and hypersexual activity, followed by asexuality, self-destruction, and extinction. It was not the first time the ethologist had built a world for rodents. Every aspect of Universe 25, as this particular model was called, was designed to cater for the well-being of its rodent residents, increase their lifespan, and allow them to mate. Leftism and PC likes to pretend that natural selection and evolution don’t apply to humans anymore, because the implications upset their political fantasies. ![]() We’ll simply become more like the Fierce People as our IQ declines and our lack of empathy - our autism - increases. Insomuch we have no John Calhoun to maintain our utopia, we won’t die out. Among the Yanomamö of Venezuela - one of the most violent tribes in the world, called “The Fierce People” by other tribes - the rate of left-handedness is an astonishing 22.6% … So, it shouldn’t be a surprise that in warm, unpredictable environments - where basic needs are met - left-handedness is much higher, because there is less selection against the correlates of left-handedness like autism, psychopathology and low IQ. In our harsh, predictable ecology, Europeans have been selected to cooperate and create strongly bounded social bonds, because groups with these characteristics are more likely to survive. Obviously, the parallels to the modern world are striking: Effeminate men, masculine women, the breakdown of the traditional order. As a result, there came a point where no more mice were born, and the colony gradually died out. Eventually, the majority of mice were mutants of these kinds, meaning that the “normal” mice weren’t socialised properly and so never learnt “normal” behaviour among these relatively complex social animals. The bizarre behaviour patterns the Calhoun team began to observe: highly aggressive females expelling their offspring from the nest before they’d learnt how to socialise, celibate masculinized females, and groups of effeminate males - known as “the beautiful ones” - who spent all their time grooming each other, with no interest in fighting for territory or in females. ![]() Then, just as has happened to us, growth started to slow down, in part because, according to Woodley’s team, more and more surviving mutants no longer had the inclination to breed. argues that in Calhoun’s Mouse Utopia - in the absence of predators, food shortage or adverse weather conditions - the population skyrocketed, just as happened after the Industrial Revolution. Are we in our own “Mouse Utopia” in which Darwinian selection has collapsed? … The results were horrifying: increasingly bizarre behaviour patterns, a collapse in reproduction, eventual extinction. In creating this “Mouse Utopia” the experiment replicated post-industrial conditions in the West, where child mortality has fallen from 40% to about 1% since 1800, due to dramatically improved medicine and living conditions. Its aim was to understand what would happen if Darwinian selection massively weakened. Led by the startlingly creative scientist John B. Between 19, a fascinating experiment took place at the University of Maryland. |
