Community Chest and Chance cards give instructions that must be followed. To raise more money, building sites may be mortgaged to the bank. Rentals are greatly increased by the erection of Houses and Hotels, so it is wise to build them on some of your Building Sites (aka Properties). The object of owning property is to collect rents from opponents stopping there. When a player's token lands on a space not already owned, he may buy it from the Bank: otherwise it is auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Since all of the combined PV power flows through this wire set, we really need to choose it correctly to maximize performance and to assure safety. Usually the longest wire run is from the PV array to the location where the charge controller or GTI is located. If this is not done, then the battery bank’s life can be shortened and certain safety issues can result. It is very important to match the gauge and the wire lengths when combining batteries in a battery bank. A typical battery bank wire size is 1/0 or “one-ought.” These same wires will also have to carry current used simultaneously for charging and for power inversion. The wires between batteries in a battery bank tend to be the largest in the system since they are used in conjunction with a power inverter that can at times demand more current than that the PV system can supply on its own. Refer to the installation material for the charge controller you chose when selecting the correct wire size to use. These Charge Controllers have large transformers that lower the voltage but in the process they increase the current going to the battery bank. The exception (B*) is when the Charge Controller is of the type that can operate a 12 or 24-volt battery bank even when the PV array is operating at higher voltages, such as 48 Vdc and larger. The wires from the charge controller to the battery bank can generally be the same or larger gauge than the main set from the PV array. If multiple panels are combined in parallel, then a three to eight AWG “combiner” wire set is generally needed to safely transfer the power to a charge controller or GTI. This allows up to 30 amps of current to flow from a single panel. The chart below shows the capacity of various wire gauge sizes and their typical amp rating and application for both residential and solar applications.Ĭommercial solar PV panels over 50 watts or so use 10 gauge (AWG) wires. The lower the gauge number, the less resistance the wire has and therefore the higher current it can handle safely. If your electrical wires (the copper gauge) are not large enough or if the cable is longer than needed, then the resistance is higher resulting in less watts going to either your battery bank or the grid.Ĭopper wires are sized using the gauge scale: American Wire Gauge (AWG). Longer hoses have more resistance than shorter ones of the same diameter. Moreover, even with a large diameter hose, shorter hoses have better flow than longer hoses. The larger the diameter of the water hose, the less resistance there is to water flow. In addition, if the wires are undersized, there is a risk that the wires may heat up to the point in which a fire may result.Īn electrical wire carries current much like a water hose carries water. ![]() If the wires are undersized, there will be a significant voltage drop in the wires resulting in excess power loss. ![]() ![]() Welding Battery Cable with Lugs and Heat ShrinkĬhoosing the right wire sizes in your PV system is important for both performance and safety reasons. 11/25/2023 0 Comments Best meme creator app iphone![]() Even in such a position, you’ll likely have other tasks to complement your meme creation task. However, you can gain employment within the content marketing department of a company that uses memes to communicate with customers. Generally, meme creators don’t profit significantly from creating memes. Another practical option is using sites that let you create memes using your web browser. The Play Store and App feature several meme maker apps you can install to make simple memes from your smartphone. You can make a meme on your phone if it runs the Android or iOS operating system. If you’re on a PC, a website like Kapwing or Imgflip should work better, offering you more screen real estate to make edits that would be highly limiting on a smartphone. You can create a meme on any meme maker app from above for Android or iOS. If you’re willing to search well enough, you can replicate all the features of premium meme maker apps on a free website. You can like and comment on memes by other users, and others can do the same for your memes. One excellent website you can use to create memes on an Android smartphone is Imgflip, which also has some social network features. The web has several websites that let you import a picture or caption existing meme templates. Installing a dedicated meme maker app works if you create memes often, but if you only need to caption a random image you found online, you may not need a full app. Unless you specifically set your memes to be private, everything you create is accessible to every GATM member, which is sweet. The app has hundreds of templates you can adapt to make funny memes, but you can upload your pictures to create unique templates. If you’re feeling bored, scroll through the memes other users have created, and you’ll not be disappointed. With a 4.3 overall rating across nearly 80,000 reviews, you get a sense of the app’s excellence and popularity, which are its best attributes. GATM Meme Generator is one of the better meme maker apps exclusive to the Android operating system. Compared to many alternatives on this list, the free version has a lot of room for improvement, but you can pay $3 for the pro version if you need it that badly. The app shows you memes from other users and lets you rate them to form a social media-like experience. It appears to be a hit-or-miss experience, so you should try your luck. The app might be a pain to use, as there’s a flood of negative comments decrying how worse the app has gotten over the years. Imgur is more like the internet’s largest repository for memes and GIFs, but it’s also a decent meme maker app if you want one. ![]() Here are the most popular apps you should try if you’re trying to make memes on Android (like most other people). Meme makers work on Android as they do on iOS, with some of the most popular ones on the Play Store being iOS ports. This app doesn’t have much to improve, but again, it’s only for a limited subset of people, and if they’re paying, they deserve the best. The paid version comes at a whopping $9.99 per month, but you’ll only have to pay $59.99 for an annual subscription. While the app has a free version, it’s so limited that you’d want to upgrade to the premium version, which I have a hard time justifying. I’m not sure who’d want to pay to make memes, but if that’s you, Meme Maker Pro would be one of your best bets. 11/25/2023 0 Comments Adobe indesign quick tutorial![]() It can import files from PDFs, HTML, and convert QuarkXpress and Microsoft Publisher formats. PageMaker has tools for almost all DTP applications except book publishing. ![]() PageMaker’s features are now integrated with InDesign, which Adobe actively promotes. PageMaker is one of the most popular DTP software even today but its development has been stopped after version 7 although it is still being marketed to a select set of users. PageMaker was first originally developed by Aldus and was later acquired by Adobe in the 90s. Although InDesign has now taken over the DTP market, in this section, we will take a look at some of the popular DTP software other than InDesign that are also quite popular with the publishers. There are software to cater to every need right from free software to professional grade subscription based software. Desktop Publishing - Popular DTP SoftwareĭTP software comes in all shapes and sizes. This means all the changes and formatting that are made will be exactly replicated in print. The process is called WYSIWYG which stands for, ‘What You See Is What You Get’. Virtual pages allow the author to visualize exactly how the printed page will look and can help in easy editing. Virtual pages on the other hand are electronic pages created in the DTP software which are eventually published as printed pages. This tutorial is an example of an electronic page which can be opened in a browser. which are normally not printed but are shared digitally. The content created by DTP software can be broadly classified into two categories −Įlectronic pages commonly refer to websites, manuals, eBooks, digital archives, presentations, etc. Modern DTP software enables content output that caters dynamically to all screen sizes, without the need to republish the same for each device or form factor. With the explosive growth of smartphones and mobile PCs, the way people consume information has changed dramatically over the last decade. A modern DTP software can be your word processor, graphic design tool and publishing tool, all rolled into one package. Evolution of DTP SoftwareĮarlier, DTP was specifically meant to cater to printed matter but modern DTP allows for even more forms of electronic content. DTP has evolved to be an important component of creating and disseminating information as it allows an amalgamation of various tasks that are generally performed independently at printing presses such as layouts, typesetting, graphic design, etc. Try out a new shortcut and watch the panel update.Desktop Publishing (DTP) is the creation of electronic forms of information such as documents, presentations, brochures, books, or even website content using computer programs. You can continue to use in Figma while viewing the keyboard shortcuts panel. To view your current keyboard layout or select another one, select the Layout tab. Use the tabs at the top of the panel to explore shortcuts related to each set of actions.

Complete the following steps to clear an FC code and prevent it from appearing again:ġ. If you are monitored by Alarm Grid, you should email us at Our support hours are from 9am to 8pm ET M-F.įor this FAQ, we will assume the user is using a system that DOES NOT use landline telephone service. If you are using POTS with your system, and you are seeing an FC code, we recommend that you contact your alarm monitoring company for further assistance. We recommend that anyone using POTS (plain old telephone service) upgrades their system use to an IP communicator, a cellular communicator, or a dual-path communicator. Update: As of March 2020, we understand that some users are still using phone lines for alarm system communication. For all intents and purposes, these messages can be treated as the same issue. like the Honeywell 6160, you will instead see the message "Comm Fail". Please note that you will only see the "FC" message on a fixed English keypad, such as the Honeywell 6150. This will eliminate the FC message once and for all. You can then adjust the dynamic signaling settings for the panel so that it attempts to send signals using its AlarmNet communicator. To clear this message, it is necessary to remove the phone number that was programmed with the system. The message is typically seen with Honeywell VISTA Panels that previously used a phone line to communicate, but now the user wants to have their panel use a different type of communication. It basically means that the panel attempted to dial out, but its outbound dialing signal was not successfully received. It will also adjust the dynamic signaling settings for the panel to prevent future FC messages.Īn FC code stands for "Failed to Communicate". This will clear the phone number that was programmed. If it was powered down successfully, then the keypad or display screen will be completely blank.You can clear the FC code on your Honeywell alarm by entering + + + + + + + +. Check the panel's display screen or keypad to make sure that the system is powered down. You can then gently pull it out from the wall outlet.ģ. If this is the case, you will need a screwdriver to unscrew the transformer. Often, the transformer will be screwed into the wall outlet. You must unplug this transformer to power down your Honeywell System. There will be a plug-in transformer that runs from the security panel to the wall outlet. Disconnect the wires from both of these terminals to disconnect the battery.Ģ. There will be a positive terminal and a negative terminal on the battery. On a Honeywell VISTA Series panel, the backup battery is usually a large black box found inside the system's beige metal cabinet. In this case, simply unplug the battery from the circuit board to disconnect the battery. The battery on a wireless Honeywell Panel will typically be plugged into the circuit board. On a wireless all-in-one panel, you may have to remove its back cover to access the battery. The location of this battery varies between different systems. Every Honeywell Control Panel has a backup battery. To power off a Honeywell Alarm System, complete the following steps, in this order:ġ. You can confirm that the system has powered on by checking its display screen or keypad. It will usually take a few minutes for this process to complete. The panel should automatically turn back on. When you want to turn your system back on, first plug-in the transformer. Once both are disconnected, the panel will shut down. You should disconnect the backup battery before unplugging the transformer. These include its backup battery and its plug-in transformer. You can turn off your Honeywell Alarm System by disconnecting both of its power supplies. 11/24/2023 0 Comments Sunny side good vibe cafe![]() At Flowerboy Project, you can have your cake flowers and eat them too – literally.

11/24/2023 0 Comments China victory day parade 2015 rewatch![]() To reduce air pollution and ensure blue skies for the parade, half of Beijing's cars were barred from the streets and nearly 10,000 industrial firms in Beijing and in areas near and far – Hebei, Tianjin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Henan – suspended or cut production starting on August 20 to cut down on emissions. The act passed despite strong resistance and more than 90 amendments from one legislator. The CY Leung administration in Hong Kong argued for a holiday to facilitate participation in commemorative events, thus it tabled the "Special Holiday (3 September 2015) Ordinance" – designating the day as a one-off holiday – for debate in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (LegCo) in July. The second one was declared for December 13, marking the Japanese takeover of Nanjing, China's then capital under the Nationalists. Xi Jinping decreed the creation of two new public holidays targeted at Japan, the first being September 3, officially named The 70th anniversary of Chinese People’s Anti-Japanese War and the World Anti-Fascist War Victory Commemoration Day. China Central Television ceased the broadcasting of all entertainment programming, only playing films and TV series about the Second World War. Domestic satellite televisions were restricted from playing entertainment programs between September 1–5. Hot air balloons and hang gliders were equally barred from the city those residing along Changan Avenue were forbidden from opening their windows during the lock-down period. The trained macaque monkeys climbed trees and dismantled birds nests in advance of the parade. The city authorities sent in trained macaques and falcons to make sure the skies over central Beijing were free of birds that would put the flypast at risk. Areas in the city centre were placed under martial law, and 850,000 "citizen guards" were deployed to ensure security within the city. On the day of the parade, hospitals restricted most of their activities beyond emergencies, the stock markets were closed. Line 1, Beijing Subway, which passes underneath Changan Avenue, was shut down 256 bus-lines in Beijing were placed under tight transport restrictions from September 2–4. ![]() Bloomberg reported that the central government once again intervened in the stock market to ensure stability ahead of the anniversary there were traffic curfews and closures of public facilities including seven parks and some hospitals. ![]() National leadership placed considerable importance on being able to put the best foot forward and do away with distractions. Xi Jinping had attended the 2015 Moscow Victory Day Parade in May as the guest-of-honour of Russian president Vladimir Putin, and Xi returned the favour at this parade. The prevailing theme was to be "peace and victory". The 70th anniversary parade was also the first major parade since Xi Jinping took power as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in November 2012. The most prominent renditions of the parade were held in 1959, 1984, 1999, and 2009, presided over respectively by then leaders Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao. Since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, China held parades primarily on October 1, the country's national day. The 70th Anniversary of V-day parade marked the first time that China held a military parade other than the National Day, and the first to celebrate the end of WWII. |
