![]() ![]() Five years later, its first high school class graduated, according to a brief history kept inside the former school building. In its early years, Waverly School reportedly taught up to the ninth grade. ![]() History: In the beginning, there was Elizabeth Keays - the first teacher in Fort Collins ![]() The opening of Waverly School corresponded with the increase in farming in Northern Colorado at the turn of the 20th century - when more families flocked to its rural expanses and the need for larger, better-equipped country schoolhouses grew. That fall, the school opened its doors to two teachers and just over 100 students, an enrollment that was up nearly 30 percent from the year prior, according to the Courier. Waverly School dates backs to 1886 but moved into its existing building in 1918 - the same year it was built for $13,000, according to a Fort Collins Weekly Courier article at the time. " Christensen said during a tour of the school's labyrinth-like hallways and old classrooms last week. The property is listed for $600,000 and has churned interest from community members, school groups and churches, according to Chase Christensen, one of its listing brokers at Cushman & Wakefield. Its two-level layout consists of four former classrooms, a computer lab, a lunchroom, a kitchen and more. The building, which is situated on 5.12 acres, includes a two-bedroom mobile home as well as outdoor athletic fields and a basketball court. The 14,000-square-foot schoolhouse has been on the market since May, marking the first time it's been for sale in 14 years and the first time in decades that it's not being used as a school. Community meetings were tucked into colorful classrooms, and class pictures were proudly taken outside.īy all accounts, the stately schoolhouse tucked inconspicuously off of a country road was the heartbeat of Waverly, a small unincorporated agricultural community west of Wellington.īut after being used as a school for most of its life, a "for sale" sign is in the building's front yard and, with it, uncertainty on the horizon. The 101-year-old red brick schoolhouse has an impressive court just off its main entrance - with two intact basketball hoops, a decades-old time clock and a handmade wooden scoreboard still fixed in a far corner.įrom 1918 until the early-1990s, students and families filed into this cozy auditorium, lining its walls and filling its second-floor viewing perch.įor generations, they watched games, Christmas programs and school plays there. When I first walked into Waverly School last week, I immediately pictured the basketball games.

![]() Having a bed or place to sleep that is uncomfortable, unsafe, noisy, or too bright can make it difficult to fall asleep. Getting treatment for symptoms of anxiety or PTSD as a result of the trauma can help insomnia get better. People who witness or experience a traumatic event, such as an accident, natural disaster, physical attack, or war, can have trouble falling and staying asleep. Alcohol may make it easier to fall asleep at first, but it can cause you to wake up too early and not be able to fall back asleep. Caffeine and nicotine in tobacco products can disrupt sleep, especially if taken within several hours of going to bed. Other things that can keep you from getting enough sleep include: Talk to your doctor or nurse if you think another health problem could be causing insomnia. Side effects of medicines, like those to treat cancer, asthma, heart disease, allergies, and colds.Menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes.Other sleep disorders, such as restless legs syndrome (RLS).Gastrointestinal disorders, such as heartburn.Trouble with hormones, including thyroid problems.Conditions that make it hard to breathe, such as asthma and sleep apnea. ![]() ![]() Conditions that cause chronic pain, such as arthritis.Neurological (brain) disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease.Mental health conditions, such as depression, 4 anxiety, 4 or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 5.Conditions that may trigger or happen at the same time as secondary insomnia include: ![]() ![]() ![]() At the university, he was a member of Epsilon Rho Rho (ERR), a robot fraternity, where he became something of a fraternity hero for his many shenanigans: one night he chugged an entire keg of beer, streaked across campus, and stuffed 58 people into a telephone booth (although he concedes they were mostly children).īefore meeting Fry and Leela and joining Planet Express (where he currently works as the assistant manager of sales and as company chef), Bender had a job at the metalworking factory, bending steel girders for the construction of suicide booths.īender has an apartment (00100100, the ASCII code for the dollar sign "$") in the "Robot Arms Apts." building, where he eventually invites his best friend and coworker, Fry, to live with him. Bender later attended Bending State University, where he majored in bending and minored in Robo-American Studies. Īt the factory, Bender was programmed for cold-bending structural steel. After reporting that defect to his manufacturer, Bender barely escapes death from a guided missile and a robot death squad dispatched by Mom in order to eliminate him and effectively take the defective product off the market. Because of a manufacturing error that left Bender without a backup unit, Bender's memory cannot be transferred or uploaded to another robot body. Unlike most other robots, Bender is mortal and, according to Professor Farnsworth's calculations, may have less than one billion years to live. As Bender's memory chip contains an adult form, the episode's content suggests that the character might actually be recalling a transfer to an adult body, rather than the moment of creation. In " Bendless Love", however, Bender is portrayed with a normal, adult-sized body in a flashback sequence conveying his memory of coming into existence. According to one version, suggested by Hermes' flashback, and also by a reverse aging process shown in the episode " Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles", a newborn Bender possessed a baby-like body. ![]() ![]() Although different creation processes have been shown, Cohen has stated that the viewer has only been shown Bender emerging from the machine that created him, while what happened inside the machine has not yet been revealed. However, the story of his construction remains a mystery. Character biography īender, a high-tech industrial metalworking robot, was built in 2996 at Fábrica Robótica De La Madre (Spanish: "Mom's Robot Factory"), a manufacturing facility of Mom's Friendly Robot Company in Tijuana, Mexico. However, Bender is also occasionally portrayed as possessing a sympathetic side, suggesting that he is not as belligerent as he claims, a view often echoed by his friends. Fry and his colleague Hermes Conrad (added after the episode " Lethal Inspection"). Exceptions who are not subject to Bender's prejudicial attitude are those individuals on his "Do Not Kill" list, which seems to comprise only his best friend Philip J. For example, one of his signature expressions is "kill all humans". Īccording to the character's backstory, Bender was built in Tijuana, Mexico (the other characters refer to his "swarthy Latin charm"), his name a reference to bending in Mexican maquiladoras.īender is known for being prejudiced against non-robots. He fulfills a comic, antihero-type role in Futurama and is described by fellow character Leela as an " alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler". He was conceived by the series' creators Matt Groening and David X. Suicide booth construction worker (formerly)Ĭountess De La Roca (ex-girlfriend, deceased)īender Bending Rodríguez (designated in-universe as Bending Unit 22, unit number 1,729, serial number 2716057 ) is one of the main characters in the animated television series Futurama. Assistant Manager of Sales & Chef at Planet Express ![]() ![]() Without having the image you're trying to trace for testing, I can't be sure. (I don't mean to be rude, but just trying to cover all the bases.) As you probably already know, you'll see the dashed line rectangle (known as "bounding box") with arrow handles when it's selected. Or I had accidentally selected a trace result from a different image on the page. Something that used to trip me up when I was first learning to use Trace Bitmap, was during all the importing, and trial and error, and Undoing, sometimes I didn't realize the image I wanted to trace had become deselected. Often we find, especially with b/w or grayscale images, the trace result is so close to the original that you don't realize the result has been there all along, right on top of the original image.Īlthough I guess the tutorials would have shown you that. But I guess we never stop learning, and next time I'll understand.Īnyway, no worries. But I never would have thought about Trace Bitmap to create it, because it can trace color images too. Yeah, that's what I thought a silhouette is. To me, a silhouette is a b&w outline of a given image. So my Inkscape version does not recognize the image at all. Generally, when I see no LIVE PREVIEW is when I get no results at all. Most of the time, I do not even get a LIVE PREVIEW even if I check the box. I have tried variations of checking or unchecking all the boxes in the SINGLE SCAN and MULTIPLE SCAN popup box. So when I follow the above instructions to make a silhouette from an existing image, my results differ in one of two ways.ĮITHER I just get an exact copy of the image (full colors and all detail) If I try drag and drop, all I see is the loss of this screen and a full page render of the pic I tried to drop (meaing I have had to type this whole thing 3 times now). My only options at the bottom of this text box is SUBMIT. My apologies, but I see no functionality on this screen that allows me to post any pix. I have seen about 12 variations of these tutorials. Below is a link to a couple videos I have watched to learn how to do a silhouette. Here's a very old list of places where you can host images or files, but it's very old, and I just looked at, and it's definitely dead viewtopic.Sorry, let me fill in some details here. If the file won't attach, you can upload it anywhere (such as dropbox, or.hmm, it seems is dead. Look below the Submit button for the "Attachments" tab. If you use the full editor, and not Quick Reply, you can try to attach your SVG file. But it's hard for us to guess at what might be going wrong. I have a feeling you may be confused about what type of objects are needed for each particular technique, whether PAP or Scatter. ![]() Whatever you decide to do, we need to see your SVG file, with your attempts or with your problems showing. But you can still post again there, and bring us back to the topic.) Or if your questions are different, then you can start a new topic. (I know we went a little bit off your original topic at the end. ![]() Guillaume, if your questions are similar to that topic, you can post again there. I think Guillaume already has a topic about PAP.

Anyway, Scatter has some idiosyncrasies too it may keep reminding that it needs two selected paths, whereas I have repeatedly complied, without satisfying its requirement. But, I wonder why it is that nobody else has encountered these difficulties I don't think that developers would pay attention to an isolated case. Maybe I make some subtle move that complicates things. ![]() I think some of Inkscape's functions are unstable and it needs some rehab. ![]() How was I able to repeatedly alternate patterns and paths and how am I not able to do the same feat now eludes me. bowloffruit.PNG has double lines and bowloffruit2.PNG has double lines I got rectangles in between the two lines too. The other two pictures were an attempt at success with Pattern along Path. Roadrunner.PNG shows a nice spiral of the critter it was realized with Generate from Path > Scatter. For your information I have added some attachments. Yes, Trace Bitmap itself gave me few problems it was what comes next, the Path Effect and Pattern along Path. My query title should have been “Trace Bitmap and Beyond”. ![]() ![]() ![]() You hand your recording over to MacSpeech Scribe. This is enough for MacSpeech Scribe to generate an initial voice profile for you you can give it more recorded material for additional training and additional resulting accuracy. The program then starts over and transcribes the first 90 seconds of the recording, and you do the same thing. The program transcribes the first 15 seconds of the recording, and you run through the transcription phrase by phrase, either accepting or correcting each phrase. You speak to your device, enough to make a recording of at least 2 minutes in length then you hand that recording over to MacSpeech Scribe. I think the results speak for themselves. The two and see how accurately the program is able to interpret the recording. To give you a sense of what the experience is like, I’ve uploaded a portion of the actual recording of myself speaking the original first draft, just making it up out of my head and saying it to the H2, along with MacSpeech Scribe’s transcription of that section of the recording, without any edits or changes. ![]() I find it quick and easy to make the very few corrections that might be necessary when MacSpeech Scribe transcribes a recording into text.Īs a demonstration of the sort of thing that MacSpeech Scribe can do, I dictated almost the entirety of the first draft of this article using MacSpeech Scribe and a digital recording device, the Zoom H2. The folks at MacSpeech, which was recently bought by Nuance, the company from which MacSpeech licensed the speech recognition engine used in Dragon NaturallySpeaking for PC, reduced the interface to a single extremely simple window. MacSpeech Scribe, on the other hand, is far simpler, both when you are doing your original training, and when you are transcribing an actual sound file. The price of that power is that you then have to use your voice and some floating windows to make any corrections you must not make corrections directly by typing, because then you would be acting behind the program’s back, as it were, and it would not know what edits you had made to the dictated material. MacSpeech Dictate allows you to dictate directly into any application. Also, IĬan clean up the digital file a little with a sound editor program before I hand it over to MacSpeech Scribe, so I’m less nervous about errors than I am when the computer is listening to me.Īnother reason why MacSpeech Scribe might be more congenial than MacSpeech Dictate is that the user interface is simpler. I feel I have time to collect my thoughts. I feel more relaxed talking into a digital recorder. I find that something about the computer sitting there waiting for me, the necessity of wearing the headset, the importance of maintaining strict silence, and other factors combine to make me extremely nervous and tongue-tied. Also, there are significant psychological and even physical differences between dictating directly to your computer and speaking into a recording device. As I’ve already suggested, you might not have a computer with you at the moment you’d like to dictate something. Nevertheless, there are good reasons why the capability to transcribe one’s own speech from a recording might be preferable to real-time dictation. So you’re not going to be using MacSpeech Scribe to transcribe a teacher’s lecture, let alone a debate. You have to train it, and the speech that it recognizes is yours, and yours alone, the result of your deliberately dictating into a particular digital recording device. MacSpeech Scribe (from the makers of MacSpeech Dictate, the speech recognition application) does not pretend to have the human ability to recognize just anyone’s speech. But what if you are not sitting at your computer? What if you have an idea that requires later transcription, and all you have with you is some sort of recording device? The promise of MacSpeech Scribe is a solution to that problem. It is perfectly possible to sit at your computer wearing a headset and speak to the computer and have it transcribe, with astonishing accuracy, the words that you speak. In recent years, dictation software has become a firmly entrenched reality. #1666: Air quality websites and apps, The Password Game.#1667: OS Rapid Security Responses, 1Password and 2FA, using Siri to request music. ![]() #1668: Updated Rapid Security Responses, OS public betas, screen saver bug fixed, “Red Team Blues” book review. ![]() #1669: OS security updates, ambiguity of emoji, small business payments with Melio, Twitter now X.#1670: Arc Web browser hits 1.0 release, “Do You Use It?” polls about Apple features. ![]() ![]() Your Instagram bio is one of the first things people will notice when they go to your profile. ![]() Read – Cute Nicknames for Boyfriend (200 Names with Meaning)Īlso Read: How Paper Trading Can Actually Help You To Master Trading In Real Time Inspiring Instagram Bio Ideas for Girls ”I have enough shoes”, said no one ever” – I have been known to own 60+ pairs of shoe …maybe this is my perfect Instagram bio quote!.“There are no rainbows without rain, no stars without darkness”.“If life gives you lemons, make a margarita”.“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies” – This one is a bit cheesy, but there is a fine line between a cute Instagram status and a sticky one.“If life is not smiling at you, give it a good tickling” – One of my favorite lighthearted Instagram bio for girls.“Every time I see you I fall in love all over again”.“Sometimes you don’t realize the value of a moment until it becomes a memory”. ![]() “Be yourself everyone else is already taken”.“An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but if the doctor is cute forget the fruit”.“I am just a cupcake looking for a stud muffin” – Isn’t that a good start to our list of cute Instagram bio quotes?

On March 23rd, 2021, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Twitter account tweeted that they were investigating Karps allegation (shown below). Dude Finds Shrimp In Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Hilarious Twitter Saga Ensues Have you ever sat down for a deliciously predictable breakfast of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, eaten it, and then found a bunch of shrimp tails in the damn package Well, Jensen Karp can officially say he has. Cinnamon Toast Crunch (CTC), known as Croque-Cannelle in French Canada and Curiously Cinnamon in the UK (previously Cinnamon Grahams), and as a variant called Cini Minis in other European and Latin American countries, is a brand of breakfast cereal produced by General Mills and Nestlé. After some frustration with General Mills, the cereal company that makes Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Karp has set out to get the apparent shrimp tails and cereal tested. This week’s villain reveal went to Jensen Karp, a Los Angeles comedian who went viral on Tuesday for a nightmare-fuel tweet revealing what appeared to be shrimp tails in a box of Cinnamon.
