![]() This was also observed for a similar compound spherulite in another specimen (Specimen #2, Sample #2a). I should note that this sample required powder grinding with corundum (Mohs 9+), and that this type of compound spherulite is the hardest of the surrounding material. Only a subset of natural chalcedony samples shows intergrown moganite characteristics. These additional weak reflections indicating intergrown moganite were not observed in any of the XRDs of samples in this characterization study, including Sample #1a. It is known that moganite has a structure that can be described as an alternate stacking of left- and right-handed quartz, and can be found intergrown with chalcedony at the twin boundaries this phase is observed in some samples of chalcedony that under high resolution imaging show length-slow fibrous growth. 3a does not show characteristic SiO2 polymorph moganite peak reflections seen in some samples of chalcedony – these are weak reflections at d-spacings 4.46Å (20.0°), 3.09Å (28.6°) and 2.91Å (31.0°). The smaller relative intensities of the secondary peak (4.23Å) and tertiary peak (1.82Å) compared to ideal alpha-quartz are such an indication. The sharp peaks in the XRD (Fig.3a) with minimal background but slightly broadened (FWHM) peaks over ideal alpha-quartz indicate an ordered microcrystalline chalcedony. Since the XRD for chalcedony is almost identical to that of SiO2 quartz, the XRD characterization (Fig.3a) indicates chalcedony, given that past optical microscopy of spherulites in this material show fibrous microcrystalline SiO2 (chalcedony) growth of spherulites, though I submit that further imaging characterization should be done on these specimen samples via high-resolution SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), to verify detailed growth characteristics of the spherulites vs. The results show that the orbicular “bullseye” spherulite sample (Sample #1a) is silica quartz (SiO2), no other appreciable elements or minerals present (Figs.2a&3a) other than a trace amount of iron (Fe) that contributes to the color. ( Note: Right click on Figure links to open figures in new window) Sample #1a Fig.1: Specimen #1 - Front Fig.1: Specimen #1 - Front-Left Fig.1: Specimen #1 - Side Fig.1: Specimen #1 - Bottom All three samples were tested by both EDS (Fig.2) and XRD (Fig.3). Three samples were tested from the areas marked in the specimen photos (Fig.1). The specimen has an outer “rind” of weathered material along the bottom edge and crystalline quartz druzy along the top edge. The first specimen is a thick slabbed chunk of ultra-rare old stock Ocean Jasper from off-shore, underground Marovato mines (estimated mining period 2001-2003) with large “bullseye” and compound semi-translucent spherulites in a mixed color semi-translucent chalcedony matrix. Crystallography tests reported were done by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) using standard copper Kα radiation diffractometry. Ĭompositional tests reported in this article were done by qualitative energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using a Cambridge S100 SEM, a XR-100-CR pin diode detector and DTSA software, 25 Kev accelerating voltage. Feature descriptions, grade classifications, large-format specimen photos, and an extensive discussion of geological information and possible formation are discussed in. ![]() The rarer high-grade varieties are “old stock”, mined between 2001-2006, mines depleted and no publicly known similar quality veins found since. Ocean Jasper is a rare orbicular rock uniquely from Madagascar, classified as a “spherulitic chalcedony”. I provide an analysis of the results and I identify a series of next-step characterization tests. ![]() In this article I present the first known compositional (SEM/EDS) and crystallographic (XRD) characterization studies for 7 specimens of old stock Ocean Jasper. ![]() Characterization Studies of Ocean Jasper Author: Susanne Lomatch*

We also use selections for 'zero cost' items like paint colors, and final flat plans for things like electrical layouts. * Final material decisions get priced and approved by the customer through selections * Budgets go into the individual selections when we 'digitize' the contract and bid. It also means we can go to permitting faster, etc.) (This removes the need for final material selections before going to full contract, which makes life easier for our design dept. * On the final bid, Customer gets 'budgets' for finish materials like lights, faucets, door knobs, cabinets, etc. to the extent that, honestly, I'm not sure I'd want to be in this business without Buildertrend or something similar.įor custom work (which is what we do), we use Selections like this. We're at the point where about 3/4 of our processes are now run through Buildertrend, and it beats the pants off doing things the old and hard way. get your whole staff on the same page as soon as possible. ![]() After 37 years of legal pad project management, this setup is pretty bitchin !Īll I can say is. The ability to deal quickly and efficiently with changes could be a game changer. The change order section promises to be a huge help. you don't even need an invoice, but I can't imagine paying a bill without an invoice. They push their online payment system, but I think it only goes up to 10 grand per payment and many payments I make are double or triple that. When a sub submits a bid, hit accept and release and it notifies the sub. I need to figure out templates and the whole purchase order process. In the custom home world, each of my jobs fortunately is generally 500k to 1 mil, so if I have to jump up a level because I have too many jobs, that's really a non issue. The reason for all this is the cost for the program is based on number of jobs. They say some guys use a job to estimate, then save the info and delete the lead. The leads section is great, except that since you can add unlimited leads, you don't get the functionality of the bid packages utility. The client could use that like a Chinese menu. The exception might be if I have subs give me a bid with options. With prices being subject to change, an models phasing in and out, that's probably a nightmare. I'm not sure I want to get into developing and maintaining a catalog of selections. There is a selections section that for a custom builder might be moot. I like the fact that after a schedule is built, the notification process is automated with confirmations if desired. About half of my subs have gotten on board. ![]() BT keeps all this on file to create a comprehensive paper trail. Also allows an exchange of info so quick decisions can be made. Hit the notify button and it is shot immediately to your owner. Adding pics and current weather in a quick easy report is great. The app on the phone makes those super easy. They really love the daily job log updates. I set up the customer portal and got my newest start client onboard. Reconfigured my accounting breakdown to match the NAHB standard residential format. ![]() If anyone gives a rats ass, I'm in my third week with Builder Trend. ![]() To help you understand the power steering systems and pumps that power them, we’ve put together a primer. People used to steer cars just fine before it came along, but they grunted a bit more.ĭespite the fact that you can drive without a power steering pump, the noises may continue, and you may get tired of maneuvering your steering wheel every time you need to park. Turning the steering wheel and hearing sounds doesn’t mean your car is singing, it means you’re about to have a much harder time turning it.Īlthough power steering has been around for a while, it is still relatively new in terms of its widespread adoption. Whenever you turn the steering wheel, the power steering pump will make squealing or low groaning noises to let you know it is failing. Why Is My Power Steering Pump Making Noise?

![]() They make adaptors for different types of speedometers used. The PCM uses this info to change shift points. If you are using an automatic 4L60e that comes with it, the speed sensor is high resolution and goes into the PCM. Just note your choices of tires size, differential ratio, A/C or not, Tach signal, Emissions, VATs delete, transmission type, two electrical cooling fans can be enabled thru the new PCM, etc. Keep the VIN from the donor vehicle and other info as this will help when it comes time to re-program the PCM. Just use solder, shrink tubing and dielectric grease on connectors. This can seem hard for someone who has not done a lot of electrical work, much less re-wiring something like this, but there are videos and clear photos & diagrams on LT1swap for that year of engine. Most PCM's generate a 4 cylinder signal, that can be changed during reprogramming if needed. Only GM's white teflon sealer will work in these cases.Īs mentioned above, to make the Tach work, a resistor is sometimes used to create a "Pull-Up" circuit to increase signal strength. Also, Do not use a sealer on the thread as the body of each sensor is ground thru the engine. The "LS" type engine oil pressure sender is not needed on the older engines, so with the 16m adaptor, your old oil sender will screw right in, just use the OEM wire as the "LS" type, that wire goes into the PCM. Leave the Temp sensor for you engine in place, but go to opposite side cylinder, purchase adaptor kit, install your coolant temp sensor for your truck. Yes, locate and re-use your temp and oil sensors for the dash as the donor engine has two locations for temp sensors.

![]() This person can catch and remove the snake(s) and take other actions You can call a professional wildlife expert from my below directory. You basically have three options for getting rid of your snake(s). Being prepared is all it takes to stay safe. Learn the individual snakes and their characteristics. Too many exceptions are out in nature, and it does not make sense to risk your life over a snake. Even memorizing tricks about identifying venomous snakes should not be relied on in a moment of doubt. Almost everyone can name a rattlesnake, but what about the others? Would you know a deadly viper if you saw one? Probably not. In fact, most people living in the United States do not know what the major poisonous species are. Being able to recognize a poisonous animal is the easiest way to avoid it. If you are hiking or travelling in an unfamiliar area of the country, take some time an research the native snakes before you head out. There is no need to take a chance when you can simply skirt around the creature and leave it be. It may be harmless, but it may be poisonous. If you encounter a snake that has any one of the above characteristics, stay away from it. The color of a coral snake, however, is a dead giveaway.Ĭlick here to read about the differece between poisonous vs. The coral snake is a very poisonous snake but does not have a heat sensor, triangular face, or slit-like pupils. There is one snake that is the exception to many of the above rules. ![]() This is because venomous snakes swim with their lungs inflated, whereas a harmless water snake will swim with its body submerged. Water snakes, for example, come in both varieties, but only poisonous snakes will swim with their entire bodies visible on the water. This physical attribute is most present in vipers and is a good indication of poisonous standing.īehavior can also indicate poisonous or non-poisonous. Venomous snakes may have a divot in between their eyes for heat sensing. Some snake species will flick their tails in a similar fashion, but only the rattlesnake has the mechanism that creates the sound associated with the species. The shape of the face has to do with the location of the venom sacks, so triangular= beware! If the snake has a rattle, it is venomous. Venomous snakes also have a more triangular head, whereas non-venomous snakes will have a rounded jaw. The most colorful the snake, the more wary of it you should be. Most solid colored snakes are not poisonous. ![]() ![]() Color can be a good indicator of a venomous snake, though again, there are always exceptions to the rule. Other body characteristics can help you play detective. The coral snake, a very venomous snake in the United States, has round pupils. Non-venomous snakes usually have round pupils. Most poisonous snakes have a pupil that resembles a cat’s an oblong shape with peaked ends, like a slit in the center of the eye. Pupil size, for example, can often tell you a poisonous snake from a non-poisonous snake however, discerning this would lead you dangerously close to the creature itself. There are some drawbacks to determining a snake’s killing potential. Thankfully, when it comes to snakes, though they all share the same long, lean body, there are definite ways to tell a venomous snake from a non-venomous one. Certain lizards and fish blend in so well with their surrounds that we might step on them without a second thought, and some creatures have patterns on them that make them look like something else. Birds are notoriously hard to specify gender, so difficult to sex that it usually requires genetic testing to determine. Some creatures in nature were made to bamboozle us. Here, take a look at photos of the most common venomous snake species in the USA: Copperhead, TOP 3 MOST COMMON TRAITS OF VENOMOUS SNAKES:ġ) It is big and fat (all in the USA, except that red-black-yellow coral, are fat pit vipers)Ģ) It is a rattlesnake, with real rattles on the end of its tailģ) It has elliptical pupils (but I doubt you're close enough to look) But when the tail of a safe snake rattles against dry leaves, it sounds just like a rattlesnake! Rattlesnakes just so happen to have rattles that amplify the sound. have distinct patterns.įACT: This is a common behavior for most snakes. But most common harmless snakes, like Garter Snakes, Corn Snakes, Milk Snakes, etc. It seems that just because of diamondback snakes or coral snakes, people think that snakes with patternsĪre dangerous. And some venomous ones don't have any pattern. It's true that the venomous pit vipers have VERY broad heads, but then again, these are very fat snakes in general.įACT: A lot of snakes have patterns. There are three major myths people seem to believe in:įACT: Pretty much all snakes, like 99%, have triangular heads. It's impossible to tell for sure if a snake is venomous, or as some people say, poisonous, just by looking at certain features. ![]() Zoom level is per default set to 100%, but can manually be changed and will be persisted, even after a restart of Capture One.

To ensure high-quality masks of smaller objects, the preparation will run again when zooming in.Įxpect an AI Mask preparation time of 3-6 seconds for the first use and when zooming in. To ensure a smooth performance, Capture One needs to prepare the AI model for each image which takes a few seconds. AI Select is additive, so each new click will add to the existing Layer. AI Select automatically adds to the selected Layer or creates a new Layer if no Layers are present. This makes it easy to click on the right objects. When hovering with AI Select, a preview of the expected masking area will show. The new AI Select cursor tool has been added to allow easy masking of specific objects or areas in your images.
