![]() Each Universal Egg Rack holds eggs any size from a partridge egg up to duck eggs (total 42 eggs per turner) Small Quail size racks hold 120 small eggs. Specifications: Turner holds a total of six egg racks. Turning the eggs by hand is the most time demanding and time consuming part of egg incubation. During incubation, eggs must be turned several times a day to prevent the yolk from settling on one side and to exercise the embryo. Packaged with an Automatic Egg Turner complete with two sets of egg racks, one set will hold 42 eggs and is designed for hen egg size eggs, the other is suited to smaller quail size eggs and will hold 120 small eggs. Capacity ranges from 50 chicken or duck eggs to 130 quail eggs. ![]() This incubator features a molded Styrofoam case for insulation, wafer thermostat for accurate temperature control, thermometer, and plastic bottom liner for easy cleaning.

The end result is an effect that displays a dithered emoji, converts the pixels into particles and animates those pixels to form another emoji. It did use up a few of my bytes to draw an emoji to a canvas and grab it as imagedata but it was worth it. But with only 1k to work with, where to fit an image to dither? The answer of course was emoji. I’d been thinking about dithering a lot at the time so I wanted to work with that somehow. It’s a contest where you try to make something cool in JavaScript in 1 kilobyte or less. I made a demo this year for the 2017 JS1k Competition. Don’t stress too much about all of the above.Last but not least, I once again made a new ASCIIBot Advent Calendar Plans for 2018 Because it was built in such a dumb way it’s impractical to add more features, but still pretty neat I think. It has some display inconsistencies between different computers/browsers/etc and map symbols are limited to what exists in unicode. One day I messed around and made a little tool/toy for sketching out little RPG dungeon maps that runs entirely off of CSS checkbox hacks. I didn’t make the top ten but I got an honorable mention. This little demo was my entry for the 2017 JS1k competition. Other StuffĪnd here’s some non game stuff I made. This is the definitive version of Dragon Tax Return Simulator 2015. Specifically a little claw cursor and a better endgame summary. I finally added some small things I’d been meaning to add. ![]() Dragon Tax Return Simulator 2015 Auditor’s Cut Update On the plus side it looks cool and is way under 13kb in its current state. I started on this for the 2017 js13kgames contest, and this one got nowhere near playable. But there’s also parts of the underlying code I want to rewrite completely so who knows when I’ll come back to this. I still need to add more features, fix a lot of bugs, and add a whole lot of polish. I didn’t really get it polished to the point where I was happy calling it a success but it’s technically playable. This is a game I started making for the 2017 Seven-Day Roguelike Challenge. Once again made a new ASCIIBot Advent Calendar. If you open up the demo on codepen, you can change the first two variables to get different colors and shapes. It’s probably not the mostĮfficient way to do it, but I got the effect I wanted before the airplane landed. So, I was playing the Kirby Star Allies demo on an airplane and I saw this effect on the pause menu, so I took out my laptop and tried to replicate it in Javascript. I added lofi underwater music and everything. I think this version might be better than the original. But you’ll need some red/blue glasses to get the full 3D effect. ![]() You can get the standalone TEC Redshift Player for free and import the cartridge in there. But you don’t need to own EXAPUNKS to play my game. EXAPUNKS is a real good game about computer hackers by the way. The TEC Redshift is a fictional console that exists in the latest Zachtronics game, EXAPUNKS. I ported an old HTML5 game I made a few years ago to the TEC Redshift. I want to overhaul this and remake a new one with a sci-fi theme/vocabulary someday. Part of the fun of this one is trying to make sense of the weird stats and spell names and strange backstories that come out of it. It’s more for entertainment and creative prompting than any sort of usable character sheets. It’s Dungeons and Dragons influenced but the sheets it generates are system agnostic. I made this little random fantasy RPG character sheet generator. I guess I got a few good ones out this year. ![]() ![]() ![]() Females producing milk for their young have very high energy needs and can consume 100% or more of their body weight in a day.

Current threats to the platypus populations include climate change, habitat destruction, land clearing, pollution, introduced predators, drought and water distribution pressures. (Source: Australian Platypus Conservancy).Ī recent study by Bino, Kingsford and Wintle (2020), has found that the platypus has lost 22% of its habitat over the last 30 years, with its decline looking worse in natural river systems that have been heavily modified and developed by humans. No subspecies are currently recognised anywhere in the range. An introduced population is found offshore on Kangaroo Island (marked in pink), where platypus were released in Flinders Chase National Park between 19. Their current range (marked in blue on the map) extends along the east and southeast coast of mainland Australia from western Victoria to about as far north as Cooktown in Queensland, and also includes Tasmania and King Island. Platypus live only in Australia, inhabiting a diverse array of reliable freshwater habitats from sea level to an elevation of more than 1600 metres near the top of the Australian Alps. The platypus is a unique species that is currently listed as near-threatened on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. ![]() ![]() ![]() Database Administration and SQL Training.Microsoft Project 2016: Level 1 (12 PDUs)įor complete Microsoft course outlines and pricing information contact Michigan Technology Services.Using the Computer and Managing Files - Microsoft Windows.There are numerous basic and MS Office courses available: So it's just beginning computer training, but even Bill Gates started at square one!

That worries her parents, but they agree it will be best for her, even though the family will have to move. The only such school for "colored" students starts at the sixth grade and Katherine is only eight, so she will have to skip several grades.

Her burgeoning romance with National Guardsman Jim Johnson is also dramatized, their relationship despite their rocky start. To get to Harrison, Katherine has to go through lead engineer Paul Stafford, who sees her as an irrelevant underling, he always falling on the excuse of clearance to quash Katherine's ability to do her job effectively. And widowed mother Katherine Gobel is the mathematical genius whose expertise in analytical geometry gets her assigned to the Space Task Group under the lead of Al Harrison, a no nonsense man who wants the job done at any cost. With the first IBM mainframe computer just having been purchased at NASA, Dorothy, with the odds stacked against her, tries to learn as much as she can on her own about its workings to make herself and the entire African-American female computing section relevant in this changing time. Dorothy believes not getting that promotion is largely the doing of her Caucasian supervisor, Vivian Mitchell. Dorothy Vaughan has been acting supervisor of the section, only having the responsibilities but not the title or the associated pay. Her struggles are exacerbated by her husband Levi Jackson, a civil rights activist who only sees the advancement of African-Americans in a narrow view. In what ends up being the Catch-22, Mary does not have the necessary qualifications for the promotion, and cannot get those qualifications as the extension courses are not taught in any high school accessible to African-Americans in Hampton where she lives. ![]() Mary Jackson, assigned to the space capsule heat shield team, is encouraged by one of the engineers on the team to apply for one of the more senior engineering positions, he seeing her expertise.
