I was going to fold it back down, but I decided to cut it off and do it separately because, yeah, trying to fold it back down would not work. So you can see the middle of the flipped-up. So we get a nice smooth tape surface, so you’ll peel that tape off the top layer. So I run my hand down the middle and smooth it towards the ends. I feel like I end up with a straighter line this way. I like to anchor it at the top while standing up and holding it in place. For some reason, I forgot to peel off the back of the d and the middle part of the t, so you’ll see that in a minute, but for now, I’m going to stick it on my tumbler. So it’s a little more tricky than working with vinyl because of vinyl. If you don’t get the sticky layer, you will be unable to put it in your cup. You want to make sure you get the tacky layer. So now we are peeling the sticky and the top layer off the backing. So again, remove the sticky and the top layer wherever we don’t want. I don’t know what is on it, but I loved the idea of cutting out the word, not the word itself. I am weeding out the letters, the square’s tacky, and the top layer. I’m not sure what it is for Qriket, because I only have a silhouette. If you need it, I will put the size of the cutting settings below for silhouette. So we’re not going to be using the letters but the square around them. I cut out a wild and did a square around it. It is my fave, and I love it so much, so put that on there so we can move on to our next step. Again, this is the thick one-to-one formula. Once that was dry, I did two coats of the paint and went in with my artistry epoxy fast set. You want to use flat white, not the blossom white or whatever it is that will yellow your epoxy and make it look not good, so use the flat white but do it all over a white base.

"I went to the family doctor 30 minutes later,” Collins said. So I went home and went to work on Dean Ranch."Ĭollins said that he and two other guys spent six months rebuilding a fence that had burned in a Prairie fire before he went back for a second and third pilot's exam and was informed he had a heart murmur. I passed the pilot's exam, but they said there were too many of them and we had to go home and wait. “About six or seven hundred guys quit school up there and joined the service. "There was a sudden rush of patriotism,” Collins said. I do it virtually every day."Īlthough Collins worked in graphic design for 56 years, he took a circuitous route to becoming a painter and illustratorĬollins went two-and-a-half years at the University of Texas at Arlington and then transferred to Texas Tech, where he went about another half of a year before the Korean War broke out. "I've got images in my head that I have to get rid of, and painting allows me to do that. "It's a passion, but it's also a routine," Collins said. But it's primarily a historical and biographical record."Ĭollins has been painting steadily for nearly the last 50 years and said it feels like something he needs to do. "There are things I would do differently. "In my opinion, it is not a good painting in terms of art," Collins said. It IS 2' X 4' feet, depicts a quaint and rustic tableau of Depression-era Aledo, and while technically precise, Collins said it was not completely to his standards. The Arlington man, whose mother presented him with a jar of Higgins ink and a couple of sharp pens at the age of 6, is a painter whose works are featured in a book called Traces of Forgotten Places: An Artist's Thirty-Year Exploration and Celebration of Texas as It Was, and he recently completed a painting of Aledo as it was in the 1930s.Ĭollins finished the painting about two months ago. Irish ancestryĭescended from Irish immigrants, including a grandfather who fought in the American Civil War, Collins harbors a deep affection for his hometown and was blessed with an extraordinary memory - two qualities that came in handy on a recent project. They didn't introduce football until the year that I graduated in 1947.”Ĭollins' cousin was the first quarterback of the Aledo High School football team. "Of course, I had no transportation and there were not many sports in Aledo at the time,” Collins said. When one car overheats, another car pulls for a while, and they save on gasoline that way."Ĭollins learned to read at a young age and had a particular fascination with the Spanish Civil War, which began when he was 7 years of age.Ĭollins' family lived six miles south of Aledo, a town of 300 people at the time, and he said he had a good childhood. ![]() “I asked my mother what was going on, and she told me they were very poor people who were going to California to try to get a better life. "I saw things like four, old 1920s and '30s cars chained together,” Collins said. ![]() The former Aledo resident remembers hitchhikers headed to California and watching Greyhound buses filled with passengers driving West. This should not be surprising since Collins, 94, was 9 years old when the John Steinbeck classic was first published.

WAM (Weighted Arithmetic Mean): A simple weighted average of the angles. WTA (Winner-take-all): Weights are compared and the cue with the greatest weight wins complete influence. WVS (Weighted Vector Sum): Angular samples are converted to vectors and then summed. NVS (Non-optimal Vector Sum): Weights are adjusted and then the vectors are summed. This strategy can generate different outputs for the same inputs due to the added noise. BVS (Biased Vector Sum): Noise is added to the weights (vector magnitudes) which are then passed through an adjustment function. The noise distributions are von Mises with κ B l u e = 2.05, κ G r e e n = 2, μ G r e e n = 0, and μ B l u e ∈ (columns). Each cue is described by a noise distribution which is sampled to generate behavior. The neural circuitry in the insect central complex appears to provide an ideal substrate for this type of vector-sum-based integration mechanism.Īn illustration of the different model outcomes for two sets of input samples Top row: The two sample distributions used as input to the models. We further show through modeling that the results are best explained by continuous integration of the cues as a vector-sum (rather than switching between them) but with non-optimal weighting and small individual biases. The relative reliability is then shown to determine which cue dominates when the cues are put in conflict. ![]() ![]() Here, we characterize the directional reliability of an ersatz sun at different elevations and wind at different speeds as guiding cues for a species of ball-rolling dung beetle. Among insects, previous studies have suggested that the relative reliability of cues affects their weighting in behavior, but have not systematically explored how well alternative integration strategies can account for the observed directional choices. Animals commonly integrate multiple sources of information to guide their behavior. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first half is Broadcast Signal Intrusion’s best half, thanks to the backdrop of its legitimately eerie recordings and simmering in James’ growing compulsion for answers. And as long as that potential remains hazy, Gentry’s thriller is at its strongest.

Hence were born Beverly, the diminutive-yet-adorable owl spirit from our summer update. Next, we turned to the characters we already knew intimately, that we’d created early on but were unable to bring into the original game – still patiently waiting for their time in the spotlight, to have their stories written and told. We didn’t want to leave players puzzled as to what exactly happened in the story – so with our first content update, we added Lily, Stella’s sister, to help flesh out the story elegantly and close that main narrative loop. Beyond that, as we delved into everything we had accumulated to craft the original game, it became clear that the team still had a lot of stories to tell in this world.įirst and foremost, we wanted to make sure we were telling Stella’s story properly. And although the team was quite pleased with the version of Spiritfarer at launch, we knew there was more we still needed to do. All this was absolutely heart-melting.Ĭlearly, fans had truly connected with the game.

You can also potentially deduct the cost of lodging on the days when you’re not conducting business, but it depends on how you schedule your trip. The cost of your lodging is tax deductible. If you rent a car to get there, and to get around, that cost is deductible, too. On a business trip, you can deduct 100% of the cost of travel to your destination, whether that’s a plane, train, or bus ticket. 50% of meals while traveling to and from your destination.Laundry and dry cleaning during your trip.Plane, train, and bus tickets between your home and your business destination.Here are some examples of business travel deductions you can claim: If you spend two days conducting business, you can deduct the entire cost of the airfare as a business expense-because two days out of five is equivalent to 40% of your time away.īut if you only spend one day out of the five-day trip conducting business-or just 20% of your time away-you would only be able to deduct 20% of the cost of your airfare, because the trip no longer qualifies as business. If you travel outside the USA but spend less than 25% of your time doing business, you can still deduct travel costs proportional to how much time you do spend working during the trip.įor example, say you go on a five-day international trip. If you travel outside the USA, you only have to spend at least 25% of your time outside of the country conducting business for the getaway to qualify as a business trip. The rules are different when you travel outside the United Statesīusiness travel rules are slightly relaxed when you travel abroad. This helps prove that there was professional intent behind your trip. If possible, email a copy to someone so it gets a timestamp. Document your plans in writing before you leave.

Mazda, which uses a 4-speed 4R44E automatic transmission in a longitudinal arrangement, suffers from a fairly common issue with overdrive gear engagement. However, this problem is not likely to trigger a check engine light. This is usually more prominent when cold. This causes a loss of transmission fluid pressure and results in erratic and harsh gear changes. Excessive wear inside the valve body or sticking solenoid.As this is a widespread problem, there are upgraded replacement kits that permanently solve the issue. There will be P0734 and P0735 codes stored in DTC memory. As a result, the transmission will not be able to engage the 4th gear from engaging. Broken spring that actuates the pre-stroke valve for the 4th gear.It will trigger a check engine light, so corresponding codes are stored in the DTC memory. This issue can be intermittent or constant initially, the problem will only occur when the car is cold. In some cases, this will be followed by erratic and delayed changes in other gears. Mazda vehicles that use a 5R55N 5-speed automatic transmission have a fairly common problem with failures to engage 4th and 5th gear. Missing 4th and 5th gear or harsh gearshifts The free-spinning generates friction and heat, deteriorating the drum and piston assembly. Fractured reverse drum or worn piston that engages it usually happens when driving for a longer time with band anchor stud removed.This sets reverse band assembly free and prevents the engagement of reverse gear. This is quite a common issue because the fill plug and a band anchor stud are similar and close. A band anchor stud was removed by mistake when changing the transmission fluid.This will not affect forward gear changes, and there will be no other apparent issues. In the most common scenario, this happens after changing the transmission fluid. Mazda MPV models that use a 5F31J 5-speed transverse automatic transmission can fail to engage reverse gear. Performing a visual check will reveal potential issues. Loose connector on the neutral safety switch or damaged wiring.There will be a P0708 code stored in the memory. As a result, the TCU has incorrect information about selected gears, which upsets shift patterns. Failed neutral safety switch, which gives information about the position of the gear selector.Sometimes, the problem will go away after cooling down. This will trigger a check engine light, and the Overdrive indicator on the dashboard might be flashing. In most cases, this will happen suddenly, usually when the car is warm.
