![]() ![]() they have had many different adventures in this sturdy tree house ![]() my niece uses the little calico critters amd my grandson uses his nitendo figures. My grandson and niece have been playing with this almost everyday. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a doll house with a wide-range of appeal and play options. It is well-made/durable, and has an attractive whimsical design that is a lot of fun. sweet little voices enjoying creative play. It is neat to watch kiddos on their knees, engrossed with playing with this tree. so it can appeal to a wide age range, and to both genders. In the month that we have had this set, it has been played with by several children ranging 3 to 9 years old, all of whom have had fun with it. It is great for imaginative role play, and the little animal characters are not only cute, but easy for children to relate to (we have ordered some extra dolls to go with this set due to such a positive response to them). It is a fun structure with lots of areas for play (including a slide and a swing), and was very easy to put together. This tree house play set is absolutely darling. It’s very cute and I loved the extra friend that came with the tree home. It takes awhile to put together and pay attention to instructions. Wow this house is amazing! First off it’s pretty big and there are a lot of pieces. I just wish it was more steady when my girls were playing with it! We got this calico critters adventure tree house and it Is really cute! However, it’s really hard to snap the pieces into place and it also keeps falling apart pretty easily. Only a baby critter fits in the log car, which is silly because this is not the baby treehouse. The swing will not accommodate a critter with a bushy tail, so most of the kid critters we have don't fit in it. There are holes that go from top level to the level below, but only a baby critter can fit through, and you kind of have to force the koala through because his ears are so wide. It doesn't come with any of the accessories shown on the box, just 1 baby koala and a log car. I love to order from toy for us we don’t have near us so it’s so convenient and fast delivery as well and as calico Critters it such great well built toys we love them ![]()

![]() ![]() It is never advised to leave your dog unattended while muzzled. Extremely difficult for the dog to dislodge with it's paws. This well-fitting, comfortable leather muzzle is made of special strong leather to maintain its shape under extreme agitation and to assure long life for the muzzle.Handmade exclusively by our craftsmen.You have to see this muzzle to believe the craftsmanship and quality.ĭue to great design the muzzle is well ventilated.If you need more ventilation try our basket leather muzzle or wire muzzle.This muzzle is very comfortable for your dog and is also very practical for training,traveling,patrolling,guarding and visiting the vet.This muzzle is completely safe and non-toxic.Among the advantages: leather muzzle will not stick to a dog's snout in winter and will not reflect excessive sunlight.

After being muzzle grabbed for a while, the dog will usually show a nose lick, maybe yawn and then walk calmly away. We show self-control and that they can trust us. By grabbing them gently around the muzzle, we reaffirm our acceptance of them. This behavior helps develop a relationship of trust between both parties: “We don’t hurt one another.”ĭomestic dogs sometimes approach their owners puffing to them gently with their noses. ![]() A muzzle grab does not involve biting, just grabbing. Cubs and pups also muzzle grab one another during play, typically between six and nine weeks of age. At first, her behavior frightens them and they may whimper excessively, even if the mother has not harmed them in any way. Canine mothers muzzle grab their puppies (sometimes accompanied by a growl) to deter them from suckling during weaning. ![]() The muzzle grab behavior emerges early on. When used as a means of settling a dispute, a muzzle grab looks more violent and usually ends with the muzzle-grabbed individual showing what we ethologists call passive submissive behavior, i.e. This behavior appears to be reassuring for them, a means of saying, “I’m still your cub (pup).” Youngsters, cubs and pups sometimes solicit adults to muzzle grab them. Even though we sometimes see this behavior at the end of a dispute, wolves and dogs only use it toward individuals they know well (team mates) almost as way of saying, “You’re still a cub (pup).” The dispute itself does not tend to be serious, just a low-key challenge, usually over access to a particular resource. On the contrary, it is often the more insecure that invites its opponent to muzzle grab it. The more insecure individual does not resist the muzzle grab. The more self-confident dog will muzzle grab a more insecure one and thus assert its social position. The function of this behavior is to confirm a relationship rather than to settle a dispute. The muzzle grab is yet one of those fascinating behaviors which developed and evolved because it conferred a higher fitness to those who practiced it. It’s a behavior that scares many dog owners who believe it signals unconditional and uninhibited aggression. The muzzle grab is an interesting behavior that I’ve seen in many canids including our domestic dogs. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Looking for more creative ways to get kids working on a vertical surface?

Writing and drawing with bath foam or bath crayons in the tub Writing/drawing activities on a Smart board Writing with dry erase markers or window markers on a window or hanging mirror Draw and color with chalk on a chalkboard Stick Squigz to a wall and pull them off Play with felt shapes and pictures on a felt board Paint with shaving cream or finger paint on an easel Paint with paintbrushes or paint rollers Tape a piece of paper to the wall and trace objects or stencils Make your own DIY Removable Lego Wall! Building with Legos on a vertical surface? Not only super fun, but also great for all of the skills listed above! Play with stickers! Have the child stick them all over the wall at different levels and then give him directions for which stickers to touch – he may have to jump or bend! There are tons of fun ways to play and work using a vertical surface. There’s no slumping or leaning on the back of the chair – the only choice is to engage those core and back muscles to maintain upright posture! Working in a kneeling or standing position at an upright surface gives kids a good dose of core strengthening. Let’s face it, we all work better if we can change positions! 8 || Core Strength and Posture Working at a vertical surface may be beneficial for fidgety kids who work better in a standing position than sitting at a desk. ![]() When a child works on a large vertical surface, it makes directional terms (up, down, left, right) much easier to understand because the child can relate the words to his very own body! 7 || Sensory This helps kids who have difficulty maintaining visual attention to activities and can help to encourage hand-eye coordination, as the child has a better view of what they are doing! Working on a vertical surface brings the task closer to the child’s eyes. 5 || Visual Attention and Hand-Eye Coordination Vertical surface writing naturally puts the wrist in an extended position which encourages hand stabilization for better pencil grasp and control of writing utensils. This is great practice for children who are struggling with midline crossing and establishing a strong hand dominance. When a child is writing or drawing across a large vertical surface, he has to cross the midline of his body with his dominant hand to reach all of the spaces. Have you ever tried to use a stencil while working on a vertical surface? I once tried to stencil a pretty fleur de lis pattern on a wall - it was a disaster! This is a tough skill!įor kids, tracing an object, using a stencil, or even just stabilizing their paper to write on an upright surface requires the use of both hands (one to trace, one to hold) AND it requires proprioception and strength to hold the object that is being traced! Even the hand gets a hefty boost of strengtheningas it works against gravity to keep making vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines. The use of larger vertical surfaces such as chalkboards, marker boards, and Smart boards allows children to use bigger arm movements that encourage strength and flexibility throughout the joints and muscles of the upper extremities. One thing that stands out to me in the schools where I work is that you never see a good old fashioned chalkboard anymore! Gone are the days of feeling that chalky dust all over your hands, racing classmates to finish math facts on the chalkboard, and clapping out the erasers during detention! :)īack when I was in school, I never thought about the developmental benefits of writing and working on the vertical surface of the chalkboard, but as a therapist, now I know that there are many!

For many people, owning a classic hot rod coupe, truck or pickup is a way of expressing their personality. The Lure of Classic Hot RodsĬlassic hot rod motor vehicles like pre-1940 right-hand drive collector cars are as in demand today as they have ever been. Muscle car and collector car enthusiasts in general soon learned that by making simple changes, such as removing anything not strictly necessary like the bonnet, headlights and fenders, and making changes to the ignition and compression, adjusting the timing and adding extra carburettors, they could transform their otherwise standard motor vehicle into a stark engine on wheels. The Ford Model T was not only the first car to be mass-produced, it changed the landscape for teenagers and speed enthusiasts of all ages, giving people in the 1930s the ability to make inexpensive upgrades to their car to allow it to go much faster. People were souping up their four-cylinder Ford Model Ts and racing them on dried-out lakes in California as early as the late 1930s, yet the term didn't become part of motor vehicle terminology until much later. While hot rods have been around since the Ford Model T famously became the first mass-produced car, the term "hot rod" itself has an unknown origin. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To make this easy crochet baby blanket I used Deramores Studio Aran Acrylic.

She gives you 3 minutes and 15 seconds in the vault. Paige is available by default and takes 9% of the cut. Whenever choosing the hacker for your heist we recommend that you always go for the best hackers available, which are Paige Harris and Avi Schwartzman. Every second counts when it comes to looting it. Maximising the amount of time you get inside the vault is essential. Once your support crew and Lester's cut are taken out, the amount left for players is $2,714,250. Looting diamonds lets you take the maximum possible payout from the Diamond Casino Heist, which is $3.619 million. It has now been confirmed that Rockstar has the ability to turn diamonds loot on and off, and that they will enable it for certain events, promotions or other significant dates. However, we then discovered that it was unlocked during the week of Febru(i.e. The ability to loot diamonds from the Casino was actually locked when Rockstar first released the Diamond Casino Heist content. Looting Diamonds The Hard Mode prep board when looting diamonds using the Big Con Approach If two players carry out the heist then you can walk away anywhere between GTA$400,000 to GTA$800,000 each. Lester will take 5% of the total amount and your crew (hacker, driver, etc) payments will vary depending on who you have chosen.Īfter that it is time for you and your heist-mates (the finale heist is for between 2 to 4 players) to split the percentages amongst yourselves. When calculating your final payout you also need to take your crew members' and Lester's cuts into consideration. Crew and Lester’s Cuts An example of the payout from the Big Con Approach ![]() The Aggressive approach is fun and quick, but you risk losing quite a bit of your take due to amount of damage you will inevitably suffer. That's why we always recommend you choose either the Big Con approach or the Silent & Sneaky approach for maximum profit, even if they are bit daunting. In practice, this means about $2,000 lost per shot. The amount lost is between 0.12% - 0.26% of the total cash you are carrying at the time. There's also no guarantee that you will walk away with the exact amount stated in this guide because as you get into combat situations and take damage you will lose a small amount of money for every hit you take. The Hard Mode prep board when looting diamonds using the Big Con Approach Avoid Damage You do get a monetary bonus for all this added effort though - a 10% increase on the actual potential take versus "regular" difficulty! You can check out a video of us doing Hard Mode and looting diamonds here. There will also be six locks to destroy on the vault instead of the normal four, and two fingerprint hacks to do (instead of the regular one). This means that the guards will be stronger, there will be more of them and their detection rate will be higher. Plus, the approach you are repeating (Aggressive in our example) will now have a Red Skull icon on it (as seen above) indicating that hard mode / higher difficulty will be activated if you proceed with that approach again. The red skull indicates that this approach will be done on "hard mode". However, you can return to a previous approach if you use a different approach in the meantime (like doing Aggressive, then Big Con, then back to Aggressive). When doing the Casino Heist you cannot use the same approach twice in a row (it will be locked). For example, during the Valentines Day events of 2020, it was observed that obtaining diamonds (usually the rarest) became a lot more common/easy. Note, however, that it appears Rockstar has the ability to adjust the probability of getting a particular type of loot. So cash is most common, followed by artwork and so on through to diamonds. In fact, it correlates to the maximum potential payout of the loot types. Which loot you will receive is completely random, but some loot will appear more often than others. ![]() As you can see in the table above, gold and finally diamonds are easily the most profitable types of loot though. It's preferable to get artwork over cash not only because you earn more, but the paintings themselves are actually easier / faster to loot. ![]() Note that the first time you do the heist you will always get cash, and on subsequent attempts you might get artwork, gold or diamonds.

Your engineer will give you the latest information on the weather conditions and what’s expected. Your engineer will give you an update on the overall condition of your car from tyre degradation to engine health. Your engineer will give you a tyre update, including wear, laps on the tyres and current compound selected. Your engineer will tell you how many laps are remaining in the race. Your engineer will tell you your current position in the race. Jeff will tell you the drivers you’re racing against for position after the pit stops since some drivers may yet have to stop. Your engineer will tell you about the driver behind you, including their position and race pace. Your engineer will tell you about the driver in front of you, including their position and race pace. Your engineer will give you a quick summary of how the other cars around you are doing. If you’re running low on fuel or have damage, tell your engineer to box you in at the end of the current lap. Here’s our extensive list of F1 2021 voice commands with the appropriate explanation of each one. We’ve added a brief explanation under each command to make things easier for you. To use a voice command in F1 2021, you have to press the corresponding button (LB on Xbox) and say one of the commands we’ve listed below.įor example when you ask “Tyre status” your race engineer will tell you the current state of your tyres both in terms of degradation and laps remaining to pit. So if you’re looking to use voice commands to your advantage in F1 2021, make sure to practice using them so you can be as fast as possible when it counts. This can be a huge advantage, especially in races where every second counts. With voice commands, they can talk to their engineer during the lap and get information much faster than if they were fiddling with the menu. That’s why many of them have turned to voice commands to help them in the F1 2021 game. ![]() Sim racing drivers are always looking for any advantage they can get over their opponents.

Facing revolution at home and with his army on the verge of mutiny, Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated on 9 November. By the end of 1918, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary agreed to armistices with the Allies, leaving Germany isolated. Germany then launched an offensive in the west on March 1918, but despite initial success, it left the German army exhausted and demoralised, and a successful Allied counter-offensive later the same year caused a collapse of the German frontline. In early 1917, the United States entered the war on the side of the Allies, while in late 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power in the Russian October Revolution, making peace with the Central Powers in early 1918. As the war expanded onto more fronts, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Italy and others also joined in between 19. The Eastern Front was more fluid, but neither side could gain a decisive advantage, despite a series of costly offensives. However, this failed, and by the end of 1914, the Western Front consisted of a continuous line of trenches stretching from the English Channel to Switzerland. German strategy in 1914 was to first defeat France by moving and attacking through Belgium before turning to face Russia. Russia came to Serbia's defence, and by 4 August, Germany, France and Britain were drawn into the war, with the Ottoman Empire joining in November the same year. ![]() ![]() Austria-Hungary held Serbia responsible, and declared war on 28 July. This reached a breaking point on 28 June 1914, when a Bosnian Serb named Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. The first decade of the 20th century saw increasing diplomatic tension between the European great powers. Fighting took place throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. It was fought between two coalitions, the Allies and the Central Powers. World War I or the First World War (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1, known contemporaneously as the Great War) was a major global conflict lasting from 1914 to 1918. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also had good luck in Planner 5d moving around. ![]() I also use Fusion 360 quite a bit and have no problem there.
