![]() Mackerel (striped): This is by far the most common pattern, so much so that some people think it should have received the title "classic" designation.Many American shorthair cats demonstrate this pattern. Classic: This pattern usually has whorls ending in a "target" on the side of the cat.No matter what color your tabby is, she is a beautiful and unique creature with a sweet and loving nature who will be your best friend for years to come. They also come in brown, silver, ginger, blue, gray or red. Many tabbies have patches of white on the paws, underside or tail tip, though occasionally the white on the underside may creep up on the shoulders. Orange tabby cats have a tendency to be male. Many black cats are actually tabbies once you get a good look at their coat in strong sunlight. A tortoiseshell cat whose various colors fall in a stripe pattern and have the distinctive M shape on the forehead are often called torbies. The ticked AKA agouti tabby has isolated bands of color. The spotted tabby has dark blotches of color, mixing spots with stripes. The mackerel tabby has stripes comparable to fish bones, with narrow striped rings around the legs and tail. The classic tabby is the most common with swirls of color creating a marbled pattern. There are four basic types of tabby coat pattern. The heaviest cat on record weighed 46 pounds and 15.25 ounces.īecause all this weight took a toll on poor Himmy's health, the people at Guinness Book have retired this record so no one endangers a cat trying to beat it. While tabbies do love a nap, they also love playtime and should get regular exercise to keep tabby from getting flabby. These cats have a natural instinct to both feed whenever they can and do what it takes to please the humans they’ve taken to, so they may not be very good at self control when offered a lot of food. Though tabbies are not naturally predisposed to being overweight, their lovable natures can influence people to give them more food than is healthy. If treated well, they can be a very contented and well-behaved member of the family. They're rather playful but can get moody sometimes.įortunately, they tend to be very easy going and not prone to attacking. Their intelligence just makes them realize some people and animals are more companionable than others. However, they have a tendency to play favorites. Tabbies are very friendly and intelligent, getting along with many people and animals. Tabby Cat Personality and BehaviorĮvery tabby is a completely unique individual, so this is a just basic generalization. Just like people, their upbringing and environment can do much to shape their personality. ![]() Tabbies do have their own personalities, however. The most distinguishing characteristic of a tabby is bold striping on the fur accompanied by an M shape on the forehead.ĭue to depictions of cats such as Morris, The Cheshire Cat, Garfield and Heathcliff, the tabby is often thought of as slightly mischievous and overly fond of food.Ī more fair assessment of tabbies could be found in Jenny-Any-Dots of the musical Cats who only sleeps all day because she's been very busy all night and spends her waking hours being kind and affectionate to others. Someone thought the striped cat's fur looked much like this patterned silk. The name is attributed to the patterned silk known as “ atabi“, named for its origin of manufacture in the Attabiah region of Baghdad. The tabby has been domesticated for almost 10,000 years. ![]() Due to a resemblance to a distant cousin of Felis domesticus, they're often known as “tiger cats”, though they tend to be of much more gentle temperament.ĭue to dominant genes and natural selection, the tabby has become the most common color pattern in cats. This is not a breed of cat, it is a coat pattern.

![]() However, telephones or smartphones are essential safety and social connection tools for older adults, and not using one can lead to inconveniences, isolation, and, sometimes, safety risks.įortunately, a particular type of telephone can be a solution for those with hearing impairment: caption phones.Ĭaption phones enable people with hearing loss to talk to a telephone and read the other person’s responses in real-time via transcriptions that appear on a display screen. If you have senior loved ones that struggle or avoid talking on the phone, they may be coping with hearing loss. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, almost 25% of older Americans ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss and that percentage doubles to 50% for those who are 75 and older. Talking on a standard phone can be a challenge or even downright impossible for people with hearing impairment, a problem that affects many older adults. Patients must qualify to receive a caption phone by working with their doctor and contacting a caption phone supplier.Caption phones and related installation and services are free of charge, covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS).A caption phone provides instant on-screen text for those who struggle to hear during phone conversations and offers a way for the hard of hearing to stay connected with family and communicate for help when needed.According to National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, nearly 1 out of 4 Americans aged 65-74 deal with hearing loss, and 1 in 2 aged 75+ have hearing issues.What You Should Know About Caption Phones However, there is much debate over whether a speaking voice can match the KPH of a trained and experienced operator”™s typing. Additionally, voice-recognition software has improved dramatically, opening up the possibility that instead of relying on slow hand-entry, future Data Entry Speed metrics may be in words or numerals spoken. Scanning and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies are poised to become accurate and reliable enough to supplant human operators to date OCR software still introduces too many errors, especially when working with damaged hardcopy, but as algorithms improve this technology will take on more and more of the work. ![]() Modern technology also depresses wages in this industry as it slowly creates non-human solutions. Data entry is a vital industry, but as speed and accuracy are the only two metrics considered valuable, it is a relatively low-paying profession. ![]() Today much data entry is performed by vendors who maintain large pools of relatively low-paid operators. As the KPH metric becomes more common, text data entry operators are now asked to have speeds of about 7,000 KPH as it is commonly accepted that text elements slow down data entry in general. Competitive speeds for numeric data entry are generally around 10,000 KPH, often as high as 12,000 KPH. Numeric data entry using a 10-Key Pad is generally expected to be much faster, as no thought has to be put into the meaning or formatting of the text. Numeric data entry has also created a separate metric for measuring Data Entry Speed: Keystrokes per hour (KPH). The introduction of 10-key pads on keyboards (also known as Numeric Keypads) have split numeric data entry from text data entry. In the modern era, the concept of Data Entry Speed has become more complicated. When they finished typing, a simple formula dividing the word count by the time produced the WPM. ![]() This measurement was typically conducted very simply, by having the candidate sit down at a keyboard with an example text of known word count. A professional typist would be expected to average about 80 words per minute to qualify for most professional jobs, although people with a measured WPM as low as 50 might be considered acceptable in some situations. In the past, Data Entry Speed was measured in Words per Minute (WPM) and was generally used to describe typing speed on a traditional QWERTY-style keyboard. Assuming accuracy, what is an acceptable speed? And where is the data entry industry headed? Traditional Data Entry Style and Speedĭata entry can mean a lot of things, from transcription of text to court reporting to entering values into a spreadsheet. ![]() Speed is only a useful metric if the text produced is accurate and does not require a great deal of revision and correction. Anyone can improve their raw speed by ignoring mistakes and typos. As a result a great deal of emphasis is placed on speed ”“ but just as important is accuracy. And all of those humans have a measurable Data Entry Speed that has a direct impact on the efficiency and power of the overall data processing system they are part of.ĭata Entry Speed is also the simplest and most easily acquired and digested ”“ not to mention most important ”“ piece of information about an operator. In just about every data processing ecosystem, from the smallest home business to the largest multinational corporation, somewhere in the workflow are a group of human beings entering the data. The modern world may run on data, and it may seem like that is all digitized and computerized, but the fact is much of the data entry industry still relies on the hands, eyes, and fingers of human beings – Data Entry Operators. ![]() The information obtained from our searches is not to be used You understand that license plate and VIN searches are only available for a purpose authorized by theĭriver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994 (DPPA).

With the game releasing in the near future, clips like these are promising to players on the fence about buying Dying Light 2 while reassuring those who have already preordered it. The game looks great on each of the systems showcased, and the gameplay looks faithful to the first installment. If the plan was to put Dying Light 2's beautiful gameplay and visuals on display, the clip hit the mark with a bullseye. On another note, though PC visuals were not on display, based on how the console visuals looked, players can expect the PC version to be at least on par - assuming players have the right specs for Dying Light 2. The last shot showcases a group of zombies ablaze, and watching undead bad guys burning to death has probably never looked so beautiful. One shot shows the player grabbing and falling through the air with a zombie, and the zombie's face is terrifyingly realistic. ![]() The video was breathtaking, to say the least the visuals are a testament to how far video game graphics have been pushed, with beautiful environments, realistic textures and models, and lighting varying from vibrant during the day to suspenseful and claustrophobic at night. After a few minutes of talk about Techland GG (a series of challenges in Dying Light that contribute to Dying Light 2), the two share the sneak peek of console gameplay, displaying the game for the four gaming systems previously mentioned. Then, they talk about a visual contest being held for fans and provide a look at the game's co-op. While issues related to starting the game can stem from various factors, Techland has published a dedicated support page for those experiencing issues on PC. At that level you're getting a great-looking game, playing at a robust frame rate, that won't leave you dangling off a ledge because of some random stutter.In this latest and last episode, Jonah and Leah reminisce on how the series progressed. At its 52 fps base it was fine to start with, but enabling either DLSS or FSR punches that figure to 67 fps (that's with DLSS, while it's actually 66 fps with FSR, but who's quibbling over a single frame?). Which is why I'd also say that the RTX 3050 needs upscaling to be fully playable at High 1080p settings. When you get into the main open world area, with all its zombie-punchy parkour-y goodness, however, you may feel like you need a higher frame rate. I went through the first five hours of the game at just under the 60 fps threshold and didn't have an issue. At 51 fps at 1080p the game is eminently playable, even if it doesn't hit the generally desired 60 fps minimum folk have in their heads. If you want to play Dying Light 2 with the bottom-end Radeon GPU then you absolutely have to enable FSR, at least if you want to play on the 'High' preset with anything like a playable frame rate. That means we get to test DLSS and FSR cheek-by-jowl on both the new GPUs, as well as see how the upscalers look on one card. And Dying Light 2 offers both DLSS and FSR, as well as its own Linear upscaling, too. ![]() Well, generally.īut whether or not you care about realistic lighting effects, the best way to get gaming frame rates out of these two graphics cards is through the magic of the respective companies' upscaling technology. ![]() And yet both AMD's cheapest RDNA 2 card and Nvidia's most affordable Ampere GPU are able to offer playable frame rates at the highest standard settings.Īnd by 'standard' I mean without ray tracing turned on, because that pretty lighting stuff will generally brutalise a budget GPU. This is a modern open world game, with dense urban environments, long draw distances, a whole lotta foliage, and a whole lot else going on, too. And, somewhat surprisingly, the results are actually pretty impressive. But, with the launch of the first two budget graphics cards of this generation-the RX 6500 XT and RTX 3050-I wanted to see how Dying Light 2 fared on the lowest-spec silicon released from AMD and Nvidia this year. ![]() On February 20, 1941, a 4-alarm fire caused $200,000 damage, and killed a fireman who had been on the force since 1918. It was completed in September 1939 on land purchased from the Ford Motor Company. The Highland Shopping Center seemed to have a curse. The Chatterbox Pub was located at 800 Cleveland Ave. In 1985 it was Jimmy’s Steak and Spirits. By 1978 the neighbors had had enough of car doors slamming at closing time and people urinating on their lawns. It became a biker bar, and the owner “quit,” calling it “too tough” and the crowd “rough.” James Pesis became the new owner, remodeled the place, and reopened it in April 1976 as Jimmy’s Liquor Bar. The beer license was issued in February 1975, although there was no parking lot and the building was located in a residential neighborhood. As far as I know this was not a music venue. This was a large, half-acre lot at the confluence of Minnehaha Ave., 37th Street E, and 33rd Ave. The Chatterbox II was a 3.2 bar located at 3675 Minnehaha Ave. A month later, four men were arrested for 13 holdups that had made them temporarily $3,000 to $5,000 richer. On June 18, 1960, two customers got “slugged in the head” when they unsuccessfully fought off holdup men who appeared at midnight. There were 25 people in the tavern at the time. Someone had a large firecracker, and two men had to be treated for burns at General Hospital. On October 25, 1958, there was an explosion at the bar, which was probably the result of a practical joke gone wrong. The first mention I found of this Chatterbox was in January 1955, when there was a break-in. Supposedly during Prohibition it held a speakeasy behind a barber shop. There were stores on the first floor and apartments above. The building was erected in 1922 for $11,000. The Chatterbox Bar was located at 2229 E. See separate entry for the history of this landmark watering hole. This Chatterbox Bar, owned by the McCann family, goes back to at least 1938. ![]() From there it seems to have been renamed. ![]() It gave way to the Chatterbox for Ladies, according to ads in June 1940. The Chatterbox Cocktail Lounge (and the Minnesota Terrace) were part of a $50,000 addition to the Nicollet Hotel, which opened on October 8, 1936. Here they are, in approximate chronological order. But I’m including all that I found, just for fun. Some of these are music venues, some of them are not. Looking for the Chatterbox Bar? Take your pick of several that have come and gone over the years. ![]() Reports up to a 30-percent reduction in muzzle flip. Has a ported barrel and slide to assist with recoil management, as Sig Sauer It’s quite unusual and takes a little getting used to, but more on that later. Rather than focus on the front sight, the shooter focuses on the rear of the slide where the high-visibility green circle and dot can be seen. This apparatus features a green circle centered within a green ring to line up the shot. Instead of the usual front post and rear sight arrangement, the company milled out the slide and mounted a flush-fitting FT Bullseye fiber-tritium sight. The most drastic step, however, was the removal of the standard sights. There are some slight differences in the slide’s beveling, and both the magazine release and slide catch have been utterly minimized so as not to protrude and catch on the draw-though I’m not sure this was ever really an issue. Sig Sauer has offered SAS treatments on countless pistols in its catalog, but none so radical as the P365 SAS. Essentially identical in dimensions and function to the original, the latest variant features the company’s Sig Anti-Snag (SAS) treatment, which includes removing anything from the gun that might catch on clothing and hamper your draw. On the heels of that success, Sig has introduced two more variants, including the new P365 SAS that I received for this review. With a footprint smaller than the six-round Glock 43 but giving nothing up in features, the P365 quickly became the hottest show in town. Sig Sauer shocked the market when it introduced the diminutive P365 and its physics-defying 10-round magazine. So we took them to the range and gave them real run against each other. “Micro-compact” pistols like the SIG Sauer P365 SAS and Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP are setting the stage for a new era in concealed-carry handguns. Springfield Hellcat vs P365įortunately for us, recent introductions to the market have set new benchmarks in the capacity-versus-size game. ![]() Generally speaking, the smaller and more concealable a pistol is, the fewer number of rounds it can hold. The parameters for this complicated ballet of decision making are often defined by location, environment, attire and the carrier’s level of commitment. When it comes to everyday carry, we often have to balance a few different aspects of our pistols: Size, capacity, convenience and concealability. ![]() Should you want to complete his new look (or just tie him to a lamppost and take loads of photos for Facebook), we also sell handcuffs.

Their jobs included hunting wild game, guarding the property from animal intruders and providing companionship.ĭespite being four different breeds, these types of Pitbulls do have similar traits and characteristics. Later, these Pitbulls accompanied immigrants to America and they began new careers as all-around farm dogs. However, it was also known that they were very gentle with humans and made excellent family dogs. They were thought of as aggressive fighting dogs and this is where their bad reputation started. The Pitbull was created in early 19th-century England for the popular spectator sports of bull and bear baiting. The four Pitbull breeds are the American Pitbull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American Bully. The term “Pitbull” doesn’t just refer to one breed of dog, but is instead an umbrella term for dogs that descend from Bulldogs and Terriers. Keep reading below to find out more about the different types of pitbulls! What Is A Pitbull? ![]() While these dogs have a bad reputation for being an aggressive breed that don’t make good family dogs and shouldn’t be around children, we’re here to debunk that myth and show you what fantastic dogs these Pitties are. The Pitbull is a very popular and well-known breed of dog that makes a wonderful companion! In fact, the Pitbull isn’t just one breed, but is the name for four different distinct purebred breeds of dogs. ![]()
