![]() The lightning flash travels very fast, but the sound of thunder travels much more slowly. That’s because light and sound travel at different speeds. We usually see lightning before we hear thunder. As the air heats so quickly it suddenly expands, making a shock wave – a huge vibration in the air When lightning happens, it heats the air to around 10,000 ☌. There’s also fork lightning which flows between a cloud and the ground. Which flows between clouds and lights up the whole sky. There are lots of different kinds of lightning. This is like a shock or a really big spark and is what we call lightning. If the charge builds up enough, it flows as a massive electrical current to the ground or to another cloud. And just like when you rub a balloon this builds up an electric charge. Inside a storm cloud, bits of ice move up and down and bump into each other. Both of these are caused by static electricity. Or when your hair sticks to a balloon when you rub it on your head. It’s a little like the shock you get when you shuffle on a carpet and touch a door handle. Residents reportedly watched the tornado from afar as it moved across nearby mountains.The heavy rain, bright flashes of lightning, and the crashing and rumbling sounds of the thunder. The most recent tornado report from Alaska came from Sand Point, a small town on an island near the beginning of the Aleutian Island chain. The residents of Alaska have reported a whopping four tornadoes since reliable records began in 1950, none of which produced notable damage. Tornadoes are even less common in Alaska, with the three National Weather Service offices in the state holding the distinction of being the only offices out of the 100+ in the 50 states that have never before issued a tornado warning. We have the same problem in some parts of the lower 48, though to a lesser extent. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to see it, the damage goes unreported to the National Weather Service and we’ll never know for sure if the storm was indeed severe. Radar coverage in The Last Frontier is about as sparse as its population, so if a storm doesn’t form near one of the cities covered by this lifesaving technology, forecasters only have eyes on the ground and satellite imagery to keep track of it.Īlaska averages a couple of severe thunderstorm warnings every year, though it’s hard to verify if the warned storms actually produced severe weather (and if any unwarned storms produced severe weather) due to the state’s sparsely-populated nature. Most of the warnings are concentrated around Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Bethel. To put that in perspective, the NWS office that serves the area around Boston, Massachusetts, has issued 78 severe thunderstorm warnings between January 1 and July 28 of this year. ![]() Mersereau, Data: IEM/NWSĭata pulled from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet-a treasure trove of weather data-shows that the National Weather Service offices in Anchorage and Fairbanks have collectively issued 55 severe thunderstorm warnings since 2002, four of those warnings going up within the last two months. Severe thunderstorm warnings issued in the State of Alaska between 20. ![]() This month also saw the all-time record warmest temperature ever recorded so close to the Arctic Ocean when a small town in far northern Alaska reached a daytime high of 84☏. The city has recorded highs of 80☏ or warmer 10 times since June 1 average highs in Fairbanks range from the upper 60s in June to the mid-70s in July. Fairbanks, a city that’s geographically planted just right of center in the state’s otherwise unpopulated wilderness, recorded two high temperatures of 88☏ earlier this month. Much of the state recently endured a stretch of temperatures you’d more commonly see in Minnesota than in Alaska. When you do think of Alaska, your first thought likely conjures up images endless cold and snow interrupted by a small window of comfortable weather.ĭespite its reputation, parts of Alaska can get pretty toasty during the summer. ![]() Separated from us by an entire country and broken off, shrunk, and shoved into the bottom-left corner of most maps, Alaska is undeservedly an afterthought for many Americans. It’s easy to forget about Alaska even though it’s by far the largest of the 50 states. ![]()

![]() I was searching for ways to squeeze more money out of my existing customers, so I decided to start upping the prices on all of the services. However, upon further investigation I eventually discovered that I made one major mistake that probably added a good 10-15 minutes to the time it took to complete the level. Fortunately, by the time I got to the “fast-forward” stage of the level, most of my staff was being paid a fair wage. The bad news is, my conservative approach resulted in me taking over 5 years in game to complete the level. Once I had solved the log-jam issue, I was able to cross the revenue to expense generation break-point, and over time win the level. This allows for higher throughput, and ultimately results in patrons spending more money per time spent throughout the tavern as a whole. ![]() While there may be better ways to optimize the gamblers den from an internal revenue generation stand-point, my goal was to simply prevent the den from becoming a bottleneck. The solution to this problem was to pack the den full of smoking chairs since they are the most space efficient way to pack more people into the den. This is because the gamblers den is one of those services that is fairly class agnostic when it comes to patron types, so it is often in very high demand. The service that was giving me the most trouble in the garden of zen was the gamblers den. For example if there is a lot of pent up demand at the gym, then essentially your warrior class patrons will stop spending money the moment they hit the backlog at the gym. If you aren’t careful, you’ll have entire classes of patrons getting backed up at a single service, which essentially results in a large portion of your stream grinding to a halt. The big problem I kept running into during all of my attempts was certain services getting log-jammed. However, on my third attempt I was able to put together a strategy that finally worked. I decided to take a bit more of a measured approach during my second attempt(which was not recorded), but ultimately ended up the same place. I actually ended up rage quitting in the middle of my first attempt once it became clear that my debt ridden bar was not coming out of the hole it was in. It took me 3 attempts to finally tackle this beast. ![]() This level should be called the “Garden of Rage”. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, not for long, because his employer dismissed the musicians due to financial difficulties soon.

There are several finishes which a skin can adopt. Patterns with lots of blue are known as "blue gems" and are typically more expensive. A good example of this is the AK-47 - Case Hardened. This drives the price of specific items with specific items up in value. There are many interesting seeds for various weapon finishes and some are more sought after than others.

![]() ![]() I just hope that he’ll make a new video an. I personally want to see some more of his content, but I’m kind of disappointed. Not only that, but lately, he isn’t really all that active, which is a shame. ![]() ![]() For example, they might know something from a show like…let’s say… Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy, but not about a show about Bokurano: Ours (PS: That show is messed up, and I like it). Sure, you can make a countdown and have many things from different shows as your entries, but throughout the countdown, they might not know about a certain topic at hand. ![]() It’s a personal pro because I like countdowns, and even to this day, I still do, but at the same time…it’s disorganed. And yes, even if they are mainly for characters, reviewing a character in a show is technically a review, right?Īnyways, it’s both a pro and a con, really. Instead of actually tackling on with the normal reviews, he mainly reviews things via countdowns. I’m not going to do it again in the next, especially since they’re in the same episode.Īnd I don’t mean interesting as in good or bad, but interesting as in…peculiar… Yeah, I’ve already done the history of him in the first countdown. If you want to check him out, the link to his YouTube page is down below: Overall, his series is great, and he also has an installment called “Voice Artist Spotlight” on there too. Even then, I don’t really think that he’s that inspirational. Yeah, his reviews are okay, but I remember him more for some weird reason on his countdowns. What makes him at the number 10 spot? Well, he’s more memorable with his countdown, or at least in my opinion. Back when I’d saw him, I don’t really had anyone who reviewed based on cartoons (who isn’t RebelTaxi), and it’s enjoyable in a way. Even if it took a bit of money to do, if you pulled it off, then the results are going to be great, and more than likely, it’ll hold up more. Out of anything in entertainment, I am a sucker with cartoons, especially when it comes to 2D animation. What made me put him on the list was that when I’d discovered him, he mainly reviewed cartoons. He was born in 1995, and his inspiration was from people like Doug Walker and James Rolfe. One of his earlier videos “Top 10 Most Disturbing Episodes of Courage the Cowardly Dog” was a surprising hit for him and has got him somewhat famous since then. Watcher of the 2000’s, or InkedSea & Cuttleboss, is a reviewer who mainly reviews things that came out in the 2000s as well as starting on giving out reviews that came out in Theaters. With this being said, let the countdown begin! I also have a few set of rules for every countdown that I’ll be doing:Īnd now, for the arrangement/special rules for this countdown:ġ.) I’ll be putting the reviewers that are/were active since late June, so if there are some reviewers who are not in this countdown, then this will most likely be the case.Ģ.) There can be ties, but they either have to be from the same team or from the same website besides YouTube.ģ.) Yet again: Are they influential for me? If they left the most influence on me, then they have a chance to be at the number one spot.Īnd honestly, I think that’ll be it for the special rules.Īlso, why top 10? Like with the first list, I’ll be using the most basic number for countdowns. Today, for the second part of the countdown, I’ll be doing the Top 10 reviewers who inspired me to do the review series.įor those who wanted to see the first part, then click the link down below. My name is 8363MTR, ready to kick some ass because I got your back, and welcome to the second part of the first installment of the Top 8363 Countdowns. I thought that I could do this the day after the first entry, but…eeeeeeh…I’m such a lazy bum. However, for this countdown, I highly doubt that this would be the case… If you really want to voice your own, then comment below or make your own countdown yourself. If you disagree on anything posted in here, then please note that you have your own opinions, and I have mine. *PLEASE NOTE!* This countdown is posted on my own opinions and my opinions only. ![]() ![]() ![]() This means that if the frequency measured in vibrations per second (vps) is applied by focusing the sound generated by tuning forks on various parts of the body, it can help to establish a new pattern of balance, erasing the detrimental patterns caused by the negative resonance pattern of ill health. In the case of tuning fork therapy a beneficial process of resonance occurs. Ī classic example of this is the sound that can be created by the trained voice of an opera singer which can shatter a glass if the note is held long enough it resonates and vibrates to the point of destruction because the material is not flexible enough to withstand the vibrations it produces in sympathy. Resonance is the process whereby the primary vibration can initiate the secondary vibration which becomes sympathetic to it so that they both start resonating at the same frequency. When the human body comes into contact within any of these fields either negative or positive resonance occurs and the body's delicate cell structure can become affected depending on the source. It can cause different effects in each one of these fields, and vibration from any source can have both beneficial and detrimental effects to our well-being as a whole. Sound is recognized as the most important form of vibrational energy as it gives birth to all other forms. The laws governing Quantum Physics has demonstrated that everything in the Universe is made up of vibrational fields and the human body is no exception. These cannot exist one without the other as they form a trinity of three elements in action in order to create one powerful force. ![]() ![]() Sound is in constant motion and is made up of three important interconnecting elements namely Pulse, Wave and Form. The application of tuning fork sound therapy can act as a tool to bring about changes on all levels of this energy system, producing a remarkable healing effect as a result. The Chakra and the Meridian systems are therefore intrinsically linked in order to form a distribution network for the life force energy, and it is this complex system of energy transfer and distribution that is the focus of tuning fork therapy.īy definition, every organ tissue gland and cell in the body depends on a regular and uninterrupted supply of this energy in order to carry out the process of sustaining life.Īncient Chinese and Indian medicine are both advocates of unblocking and releasing energy disturbances inside and outside the body in order to alleviate the symptoms of disease. The Meridian system is comprised of twelve principal meridians which act like distribution paths for the energy, and eight meridians which act like vessels to store the energy inside the body. Their electrical function is to act like downline transformers to feed the higher voltage energy of the magneto-electric energy fields of the aura into the sub-circuits of lower electro-magnetic energy of the Meridian system. The word Chakra means literally a wheel, and this part of the system is comprised of seven centres of rotating vortices of energy. Located on the mid-line of the body there are seven main transition points for distribution of the life force energy into the physical elements and these are known as the Chakras. These comprise the meta-physical elements of the body and which have Magneto-electric characteristics. Surrounding the outside of the body there are several electrical energy fields created by the Source Energy which are commonly referred to collectively as the Aura. ![]() This energy which has electro-magnetic characteristics travels through Meridian pathways inside the physical elements of the body and feeds all the main organs, glands and ultimately every muscle, nerve, tissue and cell.ĭiagram representing the Seven Gates of the human body comprising theĬhakra and Meridian Energy System which can be used for the purposes of healingĭiagram showing the key relationships between the Chakras,Īcupuncture Meridian and Endocrine Glands of the body The human body is sustained by life force energy which is referred to as Chi in Chinese medicine and Prana in Indian Medicine. ![]() ![]() One Cobalt Eye Opener is the Diablo Mary with Tito’s Vodka, sriracha and pickled jalapenos. ![]() The organic omelet has too many goodies to list.

To review: Fantasy shows usually take place in another world where fantastical creatures and/or magical abilities are pretty much expected, whereas supernatural shows are all about super-powered creatures existing within the real world-though there is for sure some crossover between the genres.
