![]() ![]() The left tackles who protect their blind side can’t be that far behind. College quarterbacks at the highest level have become millionaires. What used to be recruiting has become more like purchasing. They are in a never-ending struggle to keep up with their conference mates.Īnd now we have name, image and likeness (NIL), which has raised the stakes still again. What’s more, these programs at college football’s highest level are in a never-ending facilities race. The Georgia football employee directory lists a “head performance chef.” This is everywhere at college football’s top level. There are recruiters, lots of them, and assistant recruiters. The head football strength and conditioning coach has four full-time assistants. Besides the 10 full-time coaches allowed by the NCAA, there are a lead analyst, three senior analysts and six more analysts. There are 61 employees listed in the Ole Miss football directory. (No jokes about which one is more drastically overpaid.)Īnd that’s just the start. Heck, the defensive coordinator at Ole Miss makes 16 times the annual salary of the governor. In Mississippi, the head coach at Ole Miss makes $9 million a year, or approximately 74 times as much as the state’s governor. In college football these days, it is all about feeding the beast, and all the beast will eat is money. These timeouts are known officially as “media timeouts.” Trust me, they are TV timeouts. Here’s the deal: In Division I college games these days, there are three TV timeouts in the first and third quarters, and four TV timeouts in the second and fourth quarters. We wonder why the student sections are often nearly empty in the fourth quarter. And we wonder why fans leave the stadium in droves beginning about halftime. You sure as heck notice it when the restrooms are 50 yards and long lines away and the beer costs $10.Īnd we wonder why there are huge gaps where people used to sit in the stands at stadiums these days. You don’t notice it so much when you are at home, watching on TV, and use the three minutes to go fix a snack, or go get another beer, or go use the restroom. Meanwhile, Millsaps and Sewanee played a two-hour, 37-minute, 27-21 game last Saturday. The average Division I college football game lasts three hours, 22 minutes. ![]() Meanwhile, in the stands, people baked or broiled. This happened so that TV could show several different commercials selling everything from cars, to beer, to soft drinks, to insurance. We’ll call them TV commercial enforcers, who would step out onto the field three or four times a quarter and essentially stop the game for three minutes that seemed more like 10. That’s because the college games kept being interrupted by these men wearing a red cap and carrying a stick with a clock on it. ![]()

![]() This is because they are easier to read (they only have 1 spelling), and they are the most common vowel sounds in beginner reader books. When our little ones are first learning their letter sounds, we usually teach the short vowel sounds first. You can hear each short vowel sound by saying the second sound in the following words: True to their name, short vowel sounds take a shorter amount of time to say than long vowel sounds. What Are Short Vowels?Įach vowel can make two different sounds: a short vowel sound and a long vowel sound. Now try this with a few consonant sounds (ex: /b/, /k/, /l/, /n/, /s/) and notice how each of the sounds is “blocked” in some way as we pronounce them. Notice the shape and feel of your mouth as you pronounce each sound: What makes vowels different from consonants (all of the other letters) is that when you pronounce the vowel sounds, the sound is not blocked by the throat, tongue, or mouth. Even the shortest words (“A” and “I”) have a vowel in them. ![]() The vowels are A, E, I, O, U (and sometimes: Y.)Įvery word in the English language needs at least one vowel in it. ![]() For the purposes of this blog post, I’m going to discuss what is generally true about vowels in an effort to keep it simple…īut, if you are interested in getting into the nitty-gritty of the English language and all the things that make it so complicated, I highly recommend Uncovering the Logic of English: A Common-Sense Approach to Reading, Spelling and Literacy by Denise Eide. One quick disclaimer before we get started: To state the obvious, English is a tricky language with a lot of tricky rules. ![]() ![]() Thus, when being stored, generator batteries should be recharged fully and then should be connected to the automatic battery maintainers, which will keep the batteries fully charged during the storage. However, all batteries feature a certain self-discharge rate lead-acid batteries usually have a faster self-discharge rate than lithium batteries. When the power generators are stored for a longer period of time, their batteries are disconnected in order to prevent any parasite load from discharging the batteries. When being recharged using external battery chargers, lithium batteries can be recharged using 0.1C-1.0C charging current, with 0.333-0.5C charging currents being often recommended. Lithium starting batteries feature a relatively low self-discharge rate and should be recharged every 2-6 months, depending on the model, using dedicated lithium battery chargers or charging modes. Lithium batteries are mostly Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO 4) starting batteries, which are not cheap when compared with similar lead-acid batteries, but they tolerate vibrations and mechanical impacts rather well, they are rather lightweight and must be charged using dedicated lithium battery chargers. When being recharged using external battery chargers, lead-acid batteries should be charged using 0.1C-0.15C charging currents. ![]() But, when the unit is not used for a longer period of time, the battery must be recharged at least every 1-3 months, depending on the temperature and the exact battery model. When used regularly, lead-acid batteries can last for a long time. Lead-acid batteries can be flooded/wet, AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), and Gel-Cell batteries. Most power generators feature 12V batteries with a nominal capacity in the 5-20Ah range.Īs said before, most power generators feature lead-acid onboard batteries, which are relatively heavy, but they tolerate vibrations very well, can be easily charged, and are rather cheap. So, if You use your power generator regularly, on a daily or at least weekly basis, your battery will practically always be fully recharged. Onboard Battery and Onboard Battery ChargerĮvery power generator featuring electric and remote start also features an onboard cranking battery - these batteries are mostly lead-acid batteries, but some newer power generators feature lithium starting batteries.Īs soon as the engine has started, the onboard battery charger (part of the generator's electric/electronic system) starts to recharge the battery and keep it fully charged. However, some people wonder how to charge the generator's battery.įirst of all, power generators come with detailed Owner's Guide/Manuals and explanations on how to maintain the power generator and how to store it over a longer period of time - if You have a power generator, but You never read the Owner's Guide, do yourself a favor and read it. ![]() Power generators with remote and electric start feature built-in lead-acid or lithium starting batteries, which are required for cranking the internal combustion engine and for powering remote start electronics while the unit is in standby mode.įor a generator to be as reliable as possible, it is very important that its battery is fully charged and ready to be used at the moment's notice. ![]() ![]() No images or links will be allowed if they are directed at identifying or could be used to identify individuals or the location of those individuals or if they are used in a name-and-shame capacity. ![]() Some images may be allowed, at moderator discretion, if they contribute directly to the ability of the forum to answer the question at issue.

The costs are usually in the range of 100 million yen, but I've heard of a case where a family was billed 140 million yen after someone killed themselves by jumping in front of a train." "But to make sure we can cover the costs incurred when a suicide leads to a derailment, we have to ask the bereaved families of suicide victims to compensate us. In that regard, train suicides probably don't cost too much," says an employee of a commuter line. "Trains don't usually stop too long after a suicide, there's rarely much damage to carriages and we rarely have to send anyone off to catch trains on different lines. Paying for suicide costs more than the ultimate price This one is from Shukan Hoseki (10/1/98) a bit old. Waiwai is the Mainichi Daily News summary of articles from Japanese Weeklies. The original article below is from 1998, but suicides have increased since then, making it more relevant. It is said that Japanese mental health medicine is 30 years behind the US ( Although Kurokawa-sensei is trying to do something about that.) So it makes sense that cleaning up after a suicide is as common as cleaning up after a traffic accident and people are being billed the costs. Japan's suicide rate is among the top 10 in the world. So, while many Silicon Valley ventures were built buy people who had lost their jobs in the defense industry. Most of the suicides are men in the 50's and 60's and often due to job related and financial stress.

Because if you’re going to go SBR, you might as well go as short as possible. Ideally, I would prefer to swap out the adjustable stock buffer tube for a LAW Tactical folding stock, though. Even with the short barrel, the gun is perfectly balanced and holds well. The machining is perfect, everything lines up and fits like a glove. I would say it’s pretty, but that hardly seems to do it justice. When it showed up, I was somewhat it awe of it. When I first got word that I would be testing this gun, I was uncommonly excited. All of this was delivered in a nice new Grey Ghost Gear Apparition backpack, which I’ll be reviewing separately here soon enough. Since those don’t affect the functionality of the gun, I’m not really going to discuss them. It also had a few after-market add-ons including a B5 Systems Grip Stop (buy one, they’re great) and an Aimpoint Micro T-1 sight, on a very nice Fortis Manufacturing mount. Other than the shorter barrel, everything else is identical to the full-size carbine model. The test model I got in featured a 10.5” barreled upper (which will be available for purchase also). I like some of these bits and pieces more than others, as I’ll explain. The trigger is a beefy MEGA Arms piece, and it’s all charged up with a Slide Lock charging handle. I especially like the addition of the Battle Arms Development BAD-CASS safety selector. Barrel is 16” with 1:8 twist, cut for mid-length gas system, and topped off with a Gemtech muzzle brake.
