A dispenser that uses 1/4-cup increments is already installed in the Feeder-Robot, but you can swap it for an included 1/8-cup dispenser that provides more precise portion control-though this reduces the maximum single serving to 1/2 cup. It's easy to dial in precise meal times and serving increments with the Feeder-Robot's robust settings, through which you can dispense up to a full cup of food as frequently as eight times a day. Set up out of the box is a cinch, taking us about 15 minutes, including downloading and syncing the phone application (by scanning a QR code on the back of the feeder), which is available on iOS and Android. In our lab testing, bashing it with a ten-pound sandbag didn't make it budge, so neither will your cat. This makes it feel a little top-heavy, though not enough to be concerned about cats knocking it over. Despite its substantial dimensions, the Feeder-Robot tapers to a 9 x 11.25-inch footprint. The design of the Feeder-Robot is simultaneously futuristic and friendly-though it's definitely on the larger side in the automatic feeder realm-so buyers should be ready for it to take up a fair amount of space. It also scored especially high marks for its features, effectiveness, timer accuracy, and portion control. The adaptable automatic cat feeder has a variety of intuitive feeding options and the most useful app of any feeder we have tested. With two rounds of lab testing, the Whisker Feeder-Robot continues its reign as our top choice for cat parents. Plastic serving bowl instead of metal or glass But we have several other recommendations that might work better for you and your cat-such as the Cat Mate C200 2 Meal Automatic Cat Feeder a battery-powered automatic feeder for wet or dry food featuring placements for ice packs to keep food fresher for longer. The Whisker Feeder-Robot continues to top our list with the most useful app and easiest programming of any feeder we tested. You can learn more about our testing process in our "How We Tested" section further down the page. We tested 24 different models to find the best automatic cat feeder for a variety of situations, evaluating them for accurate timing, portion control, software, and other features. They are also useful for doling out precise portions to cats on specific diets, or automating morning feedings, so your cats stop waking you up and instead start waiting by the feeder for breakfast. She has a whole wardrobe of collars.An automatic cat feeder is a must-have for anyone looking to keep their cats fed while they're away, whether during the day or during short vacations. Plus, I have a black cat and she looks great in colorful collars. So to me, collars are an extra level of security. And we would have had a really nice red heeler. Plus, if the person the chip was registered to, the man's daughter, hadn't had the same name as her father, we never would have figured out who the dog belonged to. All of this could have been avoided and this man could have had his pet back sooner if she had had a collar. Luckily we recognized the last name as being someone in the neighborhood, so we went to his house and asked if she was his dog. She took it to her vet the next day to see if the dog had a chip and she did, but it hadn't been up-dated and was registered to someone in Oregon, we live in PA. My sister kept her overnight and we put a notice out on Facebook on one of those local lost pet pages. No collar, but obviously a pet, although we didn't recognize her. We stopped and this friendly dog jumped in the car. Just as a reinforcer for this, we were driving down the road one summer evening and there is a dog.

Other apps (like OmniFocus) generate the next (repeated action) only after the first one is completed. But even then it might prove useful as a companion app: I use DayMap for one specific part of my work-life and for that it serves me very well.ĭayMap has one killer feature for me: it shows recurring tasks in the calendar as multiple items, so for example you can have one task repeated from Tuesday to Friday and DayMap will show an entry for every day (Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday). Of course, DayMap is no OmniFocus, so if you need something really complex, DayMap isn't for you. And it has to be mentioned, while DayMap follows minimalist principles, projects can go surprisingly "deep", splitting up tasks into sub-tasks, sub-sub-tasks, sub-sub-sub-tasks (etc. But now after trying, I find this app completely convincing, and ever since downloading I use it daily.Īs Actwolf described below, it's a brilliant UI concept, look and feel. I am a heavy OmniFocus user and didn't think I'd have much use for it. Well this got to be the GTD app with the best UI concept ever.Īctually I downloaded DayMap only because it was on sale, well, it looked interesting from screenshots and videos. maybe: auto re-sort an individual day, say alphabetically, while keeping manual sort option Android app & sync (or maybe import/export to Reminders for workaround sync) month filters: hide-repeating tasks, show only tasks which contain search field text enhanced repeats: every # days, every Mon, Wed, Fri, …, -ideally even: every # workdays subtler (grey?) “Scheduled” indicator - RED suggests priority, but neighboring tasks in the project list might be much more important but harder to schedule. sort tasks & Calendar events: drag “Pick Up Dry Cleaning ” task after “8:00 AM - Meeting” and before “7:30 PM Restaurant Dinner” keyboard shortcuts: move to tomorrow, schedule Today, unschedule, navigation between columns ✓ show/hide a particular # days of completed items or none “!!” lists any task which contains “!!” in its title or notes do 2 laundry loads Tuesday, instead of 1 each Monday & Tuesday, skip Wed.) ✓ delete, reschedule repeat tasks individually ✓ column layout of projects +/- week/month schedule (EXCELLENT) The multi-column layout keeps everything from mingling into a long, overwhelming list. Make my working day easier.ĭayMap excels by offering big picture “Forest” view of your projects and your weekly/monthly schedule without losing sight of the individual “Trees” of each project and each day. Nice, uncluttered software, doing what software should do. I note some complaints further down the page about a demo version not being available, but the user video on the developers website was more than enough detail to help me decide to buy. I expect TD's ability to automatically move uncompleted tasks on to the following day might be a big ask, but that would be the icing on the cake for me. It's a lot like the web based TeuxDeux (TD), but that is twice the cost, paid year on year, with only marginal extra functionality.īelow this, WChiseler has posted a really good in depth review that covers all the functionality and wishlist bases, and all I can add is it would be nice to be able to change font and font colour just to jazz the screen up a bit, oh, and startup at login, that would be nice too. With that in mind, I've literally tried every piece of project and todo software on Macupdate over the past ten years and couldn't settle on any of them.ĭaymap suits the way I work, holds all the info I need for my working day and in its present form (v2.1.1) it has just cleared up my desktop, and my head in just half an hour. The GTD approach is far too prissy for me, too much wasted energy (and too much of a distraction from what I should be doing). I write for a living, I have umpteen mini projects on the go, and I'm also a visual person. The wood of Microberlinia (also known as Zebrano) is imported from central Africa, (Gabon, Cameroon, and Congo). The word now usually refers to wood of the very different African tree Microberlinia brazzavillensis, but may be applied to other woods, mostly belonging to the same family Fabaceae, but not exclusively so, for example: Brachystegia spiciformis Goncalo alves. In the 20th century, the name zebrawood, as applied to Astronium species, went out of use. "Published statements that certain species supply furniture woods are undoubtedly incorrect." Despite similarities between the timbers of Connarus and Astronium, the former has yet to be identified on surviving furniture. For many years, it was thought to be the product of Omphalobium lambertii DC., later reclassified as Connarus guianensis Lamb ex DC., and finally as Connarus lambertii (DC.) Britton. įor most of the 19th century, the botanical identity of zebrawood was unknown. On the European and American markets, however, it was still called zebrawood, and commonly used in British furniture-making between about 18. It is now traded as goncalo alves, a Portuguese name used in Brazil. This species, Astronium fraxinifolium, is native to northern South America, especially north-eastern Brazil. At the beginning of the 19th century, another source of zebrawood was found in Brazil. Zebrawood tableĪn alternative name which occurs in 18th century British sources is palmaletto or palmalatta, from palo mulatto, which was the local name for the wood. The Mosquito Coast thereafter exported zebrawood regularly until the Convention of London (1786) and the consequent expulsion of British settlers from this part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. In his History of Jamaica (1774), Edward Long relates, "The species of zebra wood at present in esteem among the cabinet-makers is brought to Jamaica from the Mosquito shore it is of a most lovely tint, and richly veined." Zebrawood was first recorded in the British Customs returns for 1773, when 180 pieces of zebrawood were imported from the Mosquito Coast, a British colony (now Republic of Honduras and Nicaragua). Other sources include Brazilian Astronium fraxinifolium, African Brachystegia spiciformis, Pacific Guettarda speciosa, and Asian Pistacia integerrima. In the 20th century, the most important source of zebrawood was Microberlinia brazzavillensis, also called zebrano, a tree native to Central Africa. The name originally applied to the wood of Astronium graveolens, a large tree native to Central America. Zebrawood is characterized by a striped figure that is reminiscent of a zebra. The name zebrawood is used to describe several tree species and the wood derived from them. For the plants known as zebrawood, see Zebrawood (disambiguation).

Oral sex involves sucking or licking the vagina, penis or anus. If you use lubricants, only use water-based ones, which are available from pharmacies. Oil-based lubricants such as lotion and moisturiser can cause condoms to break or fail. Using stronger condoms designed for anal sex helps protect against STIs. STIs and other infections that can be passed on during anal sex include: This is because the lining of the anus is thin and can easily be damaged, which makes it more vulnerable to infection. Men and women might choose to have anal sex whether they're gay or straight.Īnal sex has a higher risk of spreading STIs than many other types of sexual activity.

One thing she notices is the places where city officials move the traffic lights around - or never change them at all. I asked Buffington to tell me a bit about what she saw, any patterns that emerged. It’s probably fair to say that in the entire country, she has the best grasp on when they tend to get installed and moved. Maryland cameras move around a lot Phoenix cameras stay putīuffington handles much of the day-to-day work of updating the traffic camera listings. In order to map New York City, Buffington and Melby rely much more on reports from drivers in the city. They settled, and he got some information. “We did have one of our members who, a few years back, actually took one of the entities to court. please advise that your request has been denied pursuant to such and such,’” she says. “We have filed multiple requests to the New York City Department of Transportation, and we get responses back that say things like, ‘In response to your request. The worst offender, Buffington says, is New York City. He remembers firing off a letter to Miami, and the city “happily provided a report back to us.”īut other cities are way more secretive about where they place traffic cameras. Some cities, he says, are great about responding to information requests. “We track news reports, file information requests, and that’s pretty much a full-time process,” he says. He relies a lot on all sorts of eyes and ears on the ground. Melby doesn’t go on cross-country road trips looking for traffic cameras. New York City is very secretive about where it puts traffic cameras The city maintains a list of stop sign cameras and their locations here. It’s one of the few cities Buffington knows of that has started implementing “stop sign cameras,” which are, as the name suggests, embedded in stop signs rather than in traffic lights. We recognize the land as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on, or are visiting and acknowledge the many First Nations and Métis who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations.Washington also apparently stands out for traffic camera innovation. The Town of Banff is continuously learning about the rich and complex histories of Indigenous Peoples in this region and is working to refine how the organization can better understand and acknowledge Indigenous Peoples that have and continue to contribute to the area. The area was also used by the Mountain Cree clan of Chief Peechee, and the Dene of the far north and far south. The Bow Valley has also long been important to the Ktunaxa and Secwépemc First Nations who traditionally occupied lands and used the watersheds of the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers and the eastern slopes of the Rockies. These sacred lands are a gathering place for the Niitsitapi from the Blackfoot Confederacy, of whom the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations are part the Îyârhe Nakoda of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations the Tsuut’ina First Nation the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to enrich our vibrant community.
