Mack garbage truck models8/27/2023 Wheelbases are from 173 to 246 inches (440 to 620 cm) and 250 inches (640 cm) with a drop frame.ĭana-Spicer and Meritor supply air brakes, steering systems, driveshafts, and other components.įront axles are rated at 20,000 pounds (9,100 kg). The LR has more frame options than other Mack trucks, with drop frames available. The base rear suspension is a Mack tandem but other axle/suspension types are available. Front axles are on semi-elliptical leaf springs. The RDS is a fully automatic planetary gear transmission with a lock-up torque converter.Ī ladder frame with beam axles is used. Transmission Īllison RDS 6-speed transmissions are used on all models. It develops 329 horsepower (245 kW) and 1,000 pound force-feet (1,400 N⋅m) of torque. The Cummins Westport L9N is a 543 cubic inches (8.9 L) turbocharged inline six-cylinder natural gas engine. It is a 659 cubic inches (10.8 L) overhead cam turbocharged inline six-cylinder diesel engine. The Mack MP7 is the base engine in the LR. In 2020 an all-electric models was available. The LR is available with a Mack MP7 diesel and a Cummins Westport natural gas engine. Most other vendor components are also available but engine choice is very limited. Mack builds their own major components (engines, axles, and suspensions) and promotes an integrated design but all LRs use a vendor transmission. There are locations for a joystick and other controls. This system can also shift the transmission into neutral when it is applied. The service brakes can be electrically applied, allowing the driver to exit leaving them on. Total loaded weight can be up to 72,000 pounds (33,000 kg).Īdvanced electronics are used for engine, chassis, and body controls, as well as maintenance. It has a stand-up right-side (curb) driving position. The cab is mounted very low and forward, allowing a step up from the ground to the cab floor of only 17 inches (43 cm). The LR is a forward control cab-over-engine type. All three models are mechanically and visually similar. The LR is a direct evolution of the 1994 model LE and the upgraded 2007 TerraPro LE. Introduced in 2015 it remains in production in 2020. It is used in refuse service with front, side, and rear-loading refuse compactor bodies. The cab is very low-profile and has dual driving controls with a stand-up driving position on the right side. They are a forward control cab-over-engine type, where the driver sits in front of the axle. The Mack LR (Low Ride) is a series of heavy-duty ( Class 8) trucks built by Mack Trucks. And Mack and Volvo aren't the only ones working makingīYD, for one, also has electric refuse trucks going into service.38,000–52,000 lb (17,000–24,000 kg)(tandem) This isn't just a concept, as this demo truck will go into service for the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) beginning next year. If only the actual collection could be quieter, too. That means running collection routes at night is more feasible in urban areas. Furthermore, getting rid of the internal combustion engine helps to make the vehicle much quieter. Maintenance should be less frequent for electric trucks, too, which increases uptime and operational efficiency. They follow prescribed routes, so predicting range is easy, and they return to the same location at the end of their cycles to charge. They drive slowly much of the time they're in use, and make frequent stops for collection. Garbage trucks seem particularly well suited to electrification. Our favorite touch, though, is the Mack bulldog ornament done up in copper, which is a feature specific to the It has regenerativeīraking, and can charge at up to 150 kW using an SAE charging plug. The truck uses a two-speed transmission to send that power to the rear axles. The motors provide a peak 496 (and 349 continuous) horsepower.

Black elk peak trail8/27/2023 Wildlife Loop Road Burros (photo by Chelsea) Photo by Chelsea It was pretty cool to be close enough (from the safety of our car) to hear their horns clacking together. We also watched two adults practice fighting. As it was spring, many of the mamas had recently given birth so we got to see lots of baby bison. Custer State Park maintains a herd of about 1500 animals. We were lucky to see a small group of burros along the road. When the rides were discontinued the animals were simply released into the park. They’re descendants of those that used to carry visitors to the summit of Black Elk Peak. The burros are not native to the Black Hills. The main attraction of the Wildlife Loop Road – as the name probably suggests – is the wildlife. Between the cloud layers at Mount Coolidge fire tower We began by detouring up to the Mount Coolidge fire tower, at which point we found ourselves between two layers of clouds… something I’m not sure has ever happened to me before except maybe in an airplane. The Needle’s Eye Needle’s Eye Tunnel (8×8 feet) Driving through the tunnel (photo by Chelsea) Needles Highwayįrom the southern end of the Needles Highway, we connected with the Wildlife Loop Road. There are a handful of other tunnels as well that are slightly larger… but if your car won’t fit through this one, you won’t be driving the Needles Highway. It tops out at a high point that’s passable only by driving through an 8×8 foot (2.5 x 2.5 m) tunnel. We drove them all.įirst up was the Needles Highway, an iconic narrow, winding road that climbs through the rock spires that are so ubiquitous in the Black Hills. There are three scenic byways through the park that can be connected into an ~40 mile (64 km) loop. And the fog was even nice enough to lift for a few minutes while we were there! Cathedral Spiresīack at the parking lot, we still had much of the day remaining so we spent it exploring Custer State Park by car. Cathedral Spires, however, was visible even with the low hanging clouds. There are other possible side trips from this route as well, but we skipped them due to the lingering fog and lack of views. We descended on Trail #4, opting to take the short detour to Cathedral Spires. Fire tower Photo by Chelsea Photo by Chelsea We joked that this was the sewage pond… but given that the building is an old outhouse, I’m not entirely convinced it was a joke It was a little damp and dark inside, but we enjoyed the chance to look around and climb to all the floors. This includes a basement, the main floor, and the upper floor. It hasn’t been used since the 1960s, but it’s open for exploration. This includes the fire tower, which is a really neat structure. Alas… Summit “views”Īlthough we didn’t get to see much, we did enjoy the large rocky summit. I was bummed about the lack of views because the Black Hills is a really pretty area and on a clear day we would have been able to see all the way into Wyoming, Nebraska, and Montana. Unfortunately, the fog hadn’t lifted so we reached the summit and found ourselves looking out at the clouds. What we should have seen What we actually saw As we approached the summit, there were some fun sections of trail It’s a gradual but steady ascent through the forest, only emerging from the trees on the final stretch to the summit. About a mile into the hike, the trail crosses into the Black Elk Wilderness. This is the recommended direction of travel for a more gradual climb. We opted for the loop, heading up Trail #9 and hiking in a clockwise direction. Either can be completed as an out-and-back hike or they can be combined into an ~8 mile (13 km) loop. There are two trails to the summit: Black Elk Trail #4 and #9. Sylvan Lake… or what we saw of it, anyway But it was the only day we had so we didn’t really have a choice. Not exactly the ideal conditions for climbing to a high point. Unfortunately, the copious amounts of rain the previous couple days had turned everything into a damp, misty mess. Sylvan Lake is a really pretty area… when it’s not shrouded in fog. The main trailhead for this hike is located in the heart of the Black Hills at Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park. Harney was a military commander who facilitated the slaughter of many Lakota women and children, I’m glad the name was changed. The Black Hills are their homeland and the mountain is considered sacred. It was renamed in 2016 in honor of Black Elk, a prominent member of the Oglala Lakota tribe. The highest point in South Dakota is Black Elk Peak, formerly called Harney Peak. The hike, however, was a little more substantial. Our hotel was only about 30 minutes from the trailhead, so this one involved much less driving. After summiting the North Dakota high point the day before, Chelsea and I set out to stand on the highest point of South Dakota.

Jessica jones super power8/27/2023 Kilgrave’s powers are absolute mind control, and under his spell he reduced Jones to a plaything – not just totally submissive, physically and emotionally, hurting herself and others at his whim, but forced to smile throughout the ordeal, a Wednesday Addams-like rictus. The horrors that her (also supernatural) abuser, David Tennant’s Kilgrave, played on her are revealed in eerie flashbacks and tense dialogue as this long-absent abuser edges his insidious way back into her life, corroding the safety net she’s desperately knitted for herself – work, analgesics, mantras, isolation. And as a weary, burnt-out survivor labouring under the immense weight of PTSD in a grey city, Ritter is utterly, brilliantly convincing. But the well-chosen sets, from swanky offices and manicured parks to shadowy side streets and sooty subways across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, give the series a cold, gritty 70s-NYC meets gentrified, Noughties Village feel. There’s also little to no chemistry between her and Colter, who brings gravitas and sensitivity to his role as Marvel’s unbreakable New Yorker. Ritter never quite convinces as a high-functioning drunk – she’s too clear-eyed and fresh-faced, awkwardly elegant with a whisky tumbler where a true inebriate would be practiced and familiar. Jones’s powers – extreme strength, the ability to jump enormous heights – are handled with a nonchalance bordering on apathy, not a gift to be glorified in star-spangled spandex, but just another thing that marks her as ‘other’, a skill wasted in the service of ferreting out the city’s dirty secrets. Her office, like her psyche, is run-down and barely functional, nestled in the same ’hood that’s home to Charlie Cox’s Daredevil (who doesn’t make a cameo) and Mike Colter’s Luke Cage (due his own spin-off show), who plays a supporting role as Jones’s ally and love interest.ĭespite the unusually high quotient of gifted inhabitants in this neighbourhood, there are zero capes in sight – just disenfranchised heroes working dead-end jobs. A morose, alcoholic PI in the noir tradition, she hustles the streets of Hell’s Kitchen in a uniform of biker jacket and skinny-fit denim, delivering dry one-liners against a cracked, midnight-jazz soundtrack. Ritter (Breaking Bad, Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23) brings the titular protagonist of Brian Michael Bendis’s Alias comics to life with a jaded panache in series one. Season 1 of Jessica Jones is available to stream on Netflix.

Sketch easy drawing ideas anime8/26/2023 Then, draw the tip of the nose where the vertical guideline and the nose line intersect. First, sketch in the ears between the eye and nose lines. When you have the face shape down, begin adding facial features. Finally, draw lines coming down on either side of the jaw to indicate the neck. For adult male characters, create a more angular jaw and a wider chin. If you’re drawing a child or a female character, make the jaw curved and the chin pointy. The jawline should extend from the widest part of the circle down to the middle of the line you made for the chin on each side. Measure the distance between the eye line and the nose line, then measure that same distance down from the nose line and draw a third horizontal line for the chin. Then, draw another horizontal line close to the bottom of the circle to mark the position of the nose. Sketch a horizontal guideline about one-third of the way up from the bottom of the circle to mark the level where the eyes will go. Draw a circle, then make a vertical guideline down the middle of it. To draw an anime or manga-style face, start by sketching the basic head shape. This article has been viewed 1,570,004 times.

So let’s go through the fundamentals before moving on to the fantastic anime drawing ideas and sketches. Usually, you may recognize an anime character by its peculiar head, eyes, or hair. That is a result of the anime characters’ distinctive physical and facial characteristics. You could probably tell if you were viewing an anime or a cartoon just by glancing at the screen. So, let’s start! Easy Anime Characters to DrawĪnime characters are very distinct from those in other cartoons. Anyone who wishes to practice drawing anime characters will find these pictures to be the ideal reference. The majority of the drawings I’m providing are actually pretty approachable for beginners. I’m here to demonstrate that’s untrue, though. Most new artists assume that anime drawings are challenging to create. You only need to choose a topic and consider how to draw it in anime style. You should be aware that anime art is a style, thus you may draw anything in a manga style, no matter what it is. Here are 20 cool anime character drawing ideas that you may utilize in your drawings if you’re stuck for inspiration. If you enjoy anime, drawing is definitely something you enjoy.

Incredibles kronos unveiled download8/26/2023 But he almost certainly would have dropped the name Operation KRONOS and Gazerbeam in his dying moments etched on the walls of the cave the only piece of valuable intel he had, hoping that someday it might help someone bring down Syndrome. Now, Syndrome may not have gone to the extent of saying, "Hey Gazerbeam! The password to my system is KRONOS". Women, men, furries, doesn't matter, as long as their getting covered in sticky, gooey blobs, they're welcome Group. Incredible finally finds him (or rather his skeleton). This group is all about people getting covered in sticky blobs, like that scene from The Incredibles. Incredible jumps into later and reaches the cave where eventually Mr. On his last breath, Gazerbeam probably jumped into the waterfall that Mr. The megalomaniac that he is, he probably couldn't resist unveiling his grand plan to Gazerbeam in his final moments. I believe something similar may have happened when he bested Gazerbeam. Incredible slyly moves away to chuck a fallen piece of tree trunk or rock at him. Incredible makes his escape and Syndrome zaps him with the freeze beam. He has started monologuing once he believes the superhero is well within his clutch and nowhere to run. You see, Syndrome like the stereotypical villains he once wanted to catch has fallen into a similar pattern. While this was not explicitly shown in the movie, it's not too difficult to deduce how Gazerbeam may have chanced upon the password. Though the film does not show how, he learned the password for Syndrome's database, "KRONOS," and used his powers to carve it on the wall of a cavern before he lost his life. He was killed by the 5, but not before learning about Operation Kronos. He destroyed the Omnidroid v.X4, then was bested by its successor, the Omnidroid 5. Gazerbeam was one of several retired supers who were recruited to battle an Omnidroid on Nomanisan Island as part of the droid's battle education. |
