As more and more private and municipal waste haulers are switching to cleaner alternative fuels, such as CNG, I think it really makes for a great additional detail to this model. Garbage Truck 60220 Description Put on your gloves, it’s time to clean up the LEGO City streets Grab your broom while your partner gets the shovel and sweep the garbage into a pile. This first edition, seen here, has the tailgate mounted CNG tanks. According to an online release, First Gear will be offering this model with either roof-mounted or tailgate mounted CNG tanks, or set-up with a standard diesel fuel setup. ![]() One detail that makes this model stand apart from the rest of First Gear's replica garbage trucks is the highly detailed CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) fuel system.

It's garbage day again in the Lego town, and the local First Gear "Waste Management" fleet has added some new trucks! First up is a Wittke Superduty front loader on a Mack MR chassis dumping a couple cans in a downtown alleyway, before making a quick stop at the Kwik-E-Mart! After that, a Heil DuraPack Python automated side loader on a Mack TerraPro chassis slams back a 300 gallon container behind a shopping center before moving onto a mixed residential/commercial route! Then we make a quick stop by the local landfill, where a Mack Granite roll-off truck is dumping a large roll-off container of industrial waste! A McNeilus rear loader on a Freightliner M2 chassis comes by to make a deposit in the landfill too, before heading off into a mixed residential/commercial route, right in the heart of downtown! Finally, the video concludes with the town's first CNG-powered garbage truck, a Heil Freedom front loader with a Curotto-Can Slammin' Eagle carry can, handling some residential waste around town! ![]()

(This might vary slightly depending on which version of IOS your phone is running.) Locate Speak Screen from Settings>Accessibility>Spoken Content. (These steps only have to be done once, but can be adjusted as needed.) (Unfortunately it doesn’t work on PDFs, at least not yet.) It does take a little fiddling to get it to work correctly on the Kindle app, but once it gets going, it works like a charm. This setting allows you to use a simple finger gesture to activate the iPhone’s internal text-to-speech feature to read webpages and other detected text content. (This solution is for iPhone, but I imagine Android and other smart phones have similar capabilities.) I tried it on the book I was struggling to find time to read about the middle of 2019, and I never looked back.Īnd, dear readers, here is the “hack” I discovered. And that right path led me to the solution, also located in the Accessibility section of Settings. Still determined, I experimented with the VoiceOver option from the Accessibility settings on my phone. I tried several different third-party apps, but nothing worked well. I knew that Kindles have a text-to-speech option, but I didn’t have a Kindle, only the Kindle app, which doesn’t have that feature (if amazon ever adds it, I’ll be thrilled, and update this article). ![]() There were all these books on my Kindle that were piling up and I wasn’t listening to them. That problem was that not every novel has an audiobook accompaniment. ![]() I would listen in the car, while doing dishes or laundry, or working out, or mundane work on the computer, gardening (practicing scales sometimes even!) – you name it, if I could listen and keep my hands occupied at the same time, I had a book on.īut I ran into a problem. I started to deeply, in a way I hadn’t before, appreciate the care that other authors put into crafting every word, every emotional phrase. I was forced to slow down and really absorb every word, as I couldn’t go back and re-listen to a certain phrase or paragraph if my hands were busy and I’d missed it. The Kingfountain series was for me the perfect introduction into the world of audiobooks. I’m not reading anything at all, otherwise.”Īs it happened, in late 2018, I’d stumbled across the Kingfountain series by Jeff Wheeler, whose books in the KindleUnlimited program all have the whispersync audiobook feature (meaning that one can listen to the audio recording without having to have audible). But during college and after, I found that that dedicated hour or three was constantly being filled up by other things – writing, music, work, so I thought “What could it hurt? I might as well listen to a book and get two things done at once, even if it’s slower than reading it would be. I’ve always been able to read much faster than I can listen, and I always felt I would be wasting time by listening to books instead of sitting down for a dedicated hour or three. (As opposed, to say, fanfiction, where I’m already attached to the worlds and characters I’m reading about.)īut early last year I was bound and determined to read more than one original work a year, so I set my Goodreads reading goal to 50 books, hopped on Twitter, and downloaded a varied selection of books to the Kindle app on my phone.Īt first I was reluctant to try audiobooks. Once I’ve gotten into a series, I’m fine, it’s the getting started that’s the issue. Part of that, for me, was the work of having to commit to a new world, new characters, and plots. You may recall that in my “ Top 5 Books I Read in 2019” I mentioned that I struggled to read traditionally published books during college and for a few years afterward. In this article I cover how I seriously got into audiobooks, and the solution I discovered to get my phone to read aloud to me.

The graphics are smooth and the game itself looks cute and charming. Eggs can also be win by a bunch, depending on your ranking so flap your best and win first place. It is also comical in a way because every player has a different ball and you will get to see flapping bread toasts compete against flying cookies, tomatoes, and turnips. Wing it!Īside from clearing different levels, you can also compete against other Flappy Golf players in an exciting race! I find this game mode very exciting because it is all about reaching the hole first before others do. Can you imagine your ball flying around the course with a trail of popcorn behind it? Being able to customize the game elements makes Flappy Golf even more interesting and fun to play with. The eggs are Flappy Golf’s in-game currency and you can use them to buy cool stuff like new balls and trails! You can replace your golf ball with other things lik e bread toast, eyeballs, and even hamburgers! The trail of your ball can also be customized and the options are all cute and creative like feathers, diamonds, and stars. Eggs can also be collected when you reach a Ghost hole, which can be accessed through a secret route and is accompanied by a black flag instead of red. Lots of eggs are scattered on each game level and even if they are out of the way, you should strive to get them. Although, I would try to keep my flaps as little as possible in order to gain start points. Your golf balls can fly but they cannot swim! The key is to just keep flapping and flapping until you are on land or have reached the hole. For instance, it becomes more maze-like and you have to be careful not to land on water. You will start with an easy course where the hole can easily be reached with just a few flaps, but as you advance, the course becomes more complicated. If you tap the left button, your winged golf ball will fly towards the left and when you press the right button, it will flap towards the right. ![]() ![]() In this game, you have to command the ball towards the hole by making it fly using the two buttons that are located on each side of your screen. It actually looks like a cute version of the Golden Snitch. This is obviously not your typical golf game because Flappy Golf has added a new and incredibly fun twist to the sport by giving the golf balls wings. Have you ever tried playing with flying golf balls? Flappy Golf is a game developed by NoodleCake Studios Inc where you will get the chance to play with golf balls that have wings! It is a surprisingly challenging and funny game where instead of hitting the golf balls, you have to literally make them fly towards the hole!

Here is an overview of how the new standards define present value of a lease: The present value calculation has not changed from ASC 840 to ASC 842. So, when determining the lease liability and ROU asset, the future lease cash flows must undergo the present value calculation. In fact, the present value is typically less than the future value. In its essence, present value states that a dollar today does not have the same worth as a dollar tomorrow. The present value calculation defines the lease liability for a given lease.

But now, verified overseas official accounts’ posts are visible in China, too. Previously, overseas WeChat users could apply for an official account, but that account’s content would only be visible outside of China, defeating the purpose of marketing to people in China through WeChat. Will people in China be able to see my posts if I’m an overseas account? We’ve addressed the major questions that these changes bring up below, along with basic instructions for signing up for a new official account. The bad news is that overseas businesses now must register for their own official accounts, since the number of accounts linked to one business license has been reduced from 20 to 5 to now 2, meaning that a China-based agency cannot set up the account on your behalf using their own business license anymore. The good news is that overseas businesses can now register for an official account themselves, without needing a Chinese WeChat account or minimum ad spend like in the past.

But my mom thinks it's going to be in the Olympics someday.' The funny part about it was my mother never thought it would in the Olympics. “We would give them the 'yup treatment' where every question they asked it was just 'Yup.' "Is that fun?' Yup.' Is that hard? Yup.’ ‘Does that take a long time to learn? Yup.’ And then we got a little more creative and people would say, 'Is that fun to do? And we say 'No, it's really hard. “In the beginning, it was so many questions from so many people, that it got so tiresome that we were just giving snappy answers.” Steve explained a few games that the brothers played on the inquisitive skiers. We didn't really care,” Steve Hayes recalled, “We understood to be sponsored was to promote snowboarding but we didn't really give a shit about what people thought about us.” When Mike and Steve were in the lift lines, surrounded by skiers, they had to field endless questions about their curious contraptions. “We were little smart-ass kids at Stratton Mountain. I would do summer school and do the fall semester and then take off the spring semester and compete." Steve Hayes recalled "I was the only pro rider who was going to college during the off-season … It took me a long time, but I'm sure glad I had an education to fall back on." Steve Hayes commented, “I actually managed to get through college and graduate … that wasn't easy. The two then went to school at the University of Vermont. Steve attended the Stratton Mountain School for alpine ski racing, then made the conversion. Soon thereafter, the two joined the Burton team, competing at the first US Open in 1984. “ During this time, Heingartner regularily provided the Hayes brothers with lessons and new equipment, allowing them to demo the latest boards. So that didn’t go so well." Īfter taking certification lessons for Mark Heingartner in 1984, the two were “the only ones with full mountain certification for a long time … we were pretty proud that we had the full mountain sticker on our passes. They were like ‘we are trying to set up a program here at Stratton and you can't just go up and snowboard.’” This was news that did not go over too well with Hayes and he promptly told Jake and Paul “to go *&%^ themselves.” Hayes explained “I've been snowboarding at Stratton for five years and I didn't give a shit what the hell they're trying to do, that I'm out here trying to have some fun with some girls from Stratton Mountain School and we can do whatever we want. ![]() When Steve arrived at the bottom, he was met by Jake and PJ, who “were standing there with their one-piece suits with their arms crossed. On day, Steve Hayes was giving snowboard lessons to three fellow Stratton Mountain classmates. Once Carpenter and Johnston started the certification program, the Hayes brothers had to deal with the new authority. But the word got out that there were snowboarders riding on the lifts." And fortunately, we dodged them and got off the mountain without getting into any kind of serious trouble. The ski patrol told us it was OK for us to ride the whole mountain.’ Steve Hayes continued, “… and then we get spotted and they would send out a chase committee. Steve often got rides to the top of North Brookwood road and “come Snurfing down to Snowbowl lift and jump right on and tell the lifties ‘it's all good. The Hayes brothers poached Stratton long before the certification program commenced. ![]() |
