Learn more about how to distinguish a true tiger sanctuary from a scam here. Steer clear of these cruel facilities, and only support true animal-rescue organizations. Seedy roadside zoos often tack the word “sanctuary” or “rescue” onto their names, but the purpose of any legitimate animal sanctuary is to provide animals with safe, comfortable living conditions that give them as natural an existence as captivity allows. If a facility breeds or sells animals, forces them to take photos with humans, subjects them to “hands-on” interactions with visitors, or exploits them in any way-it’s not a sanctuary.

The contract rendered the ASPCA increasingly reliant on government income rather than private donations, and subject to the effects of annual city budget appropriations. Starting in 1977, the ASPCA entered into a contract with the New York City Department of Health to receive municipal funding to operate the shelter system. įrom 1894 to 1994, the ASPCA operated the municipal animal shelter system in New York City which euthanized unadopted animals. In 1961, ASPCA veterinarians performed their first open-heart surgery on a dog. In 1954, ASPCA hospitals added pathology and radiography laboratories and programs. In 1918, ASPCA veterinarians developed the use of anesthesia and as a result were able to work on a horse with a broken kneecap. Early goals of ASPCA focused on efforts for horses and livestock, since at the time they were used for a number of activities. In 1867, ASPCA operated its first ambulance for injured horses and began advocating for more humane treatment of animals such as horses, live pigeons, cats, and dogs. On April 19, 1866, the first anti-cruelty law was passed In NY since the founding of ASPCA, and the organization was granted the right to enforce anti-cruelty laws. After getting signatures for his "Declaration of the Rights of Animals," Bergh was given an official charter to incorporate the ASPCA on April 10, 1866. Some of the issues he discussed were cockfighting and the horrors of slaughterhouses. On February 8, 1866, Bergh pleaded on behalf of animals at a meeting at Clinton Hall in New York City. It is the oldest animal welfare organization in the United States. Baker and her traveling companion Able were the first animals to return alive from space.įollowing the creation of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) in the United Kingdom in 1824 (given Royal status in 1840), Henry Bergh founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on April 10, 1866, in New York City on the belief that "animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law". ![]() Squirrel monkey " Miss Baker" poses with the Certificate of Merit for Distinguished Service she was awarded by the ASPCA after her successful return to earth, the associated medal, and the couch used for her flight (to the right). ![]() ![]() Let's go through the best options together.

Katoki managed to get the GFF right, but why not the MG? Why not a 1.5 or 2.0 of his own RX-78? Not just for posing around, but for looking a bit more like his sleek design? Notice how the GFFs are a bit sleeker and more consistent with Katoki’s lineart(s) of the RX-78… Especially his angular/flat duck feet, compared to the rounder traditional feet for the RX-78. Like Wing, not by much, yes, but compare the MG to its GFF equivalent one of the 1/100 Metal Composite RX-78s. Ka, which might’ve borrowed from the previous MG to cheapen cost, and I’d get that, but still nevertheless deviated a bit from Katoki’s lineart of the RX-78, whether initial or current. …Because despite the changes (further color scheme differences in the wings, decals, shield/buster rifle), if you compared the GFF lineart at the back of the cover and the figure itself, or the more-accurate MG lineart and the MG itself, notice how even with the stylistic changes, if you compare with his actual current art, they’re not exactly the same as the product (though the GFF and MG, despite scale, looks pretty much the same, and still looks damn good and attractive). ![]() I’d like to know how the original shield and buster rifle looked like in full (beyond the B-Club conversion parts, or did they basically get it accurate?), but I’m digressing… Notice how Wing’s standing picture and action picture are different, not just because of the introduction of the now-different shield and buster rifle, but the details all around in both how there’s more exposure to the inner frame in small areas, and a slightly different paint scheme. I remember most of them (with the exception of Heavyarms until the MG manual in ’04, and we kind-of got shafted about Shenlong as it was obscured in the group picture) had a second image of its design in action. If you allow me to digress… You mentioned Katoki’s EW-esque designs for the first five GW Gundams back in 1997. I also get the stylization-changing explanation, but I don’t think you exactly get my point on that. ![]() That is a very colorful Gundam, Sixwalrus.ĭerringer: I get the explanation regarding the MG and how it can’t be as sleek as a Robot Damashii figure can. ![]() ![]() ![]() The malfunction of the touch display is not improved. Since something like a two-finger tablet glove was not included, I tried laying a tissue under my hand. When the touch operation was on, the little finger ball of the hand holding the pen touched the display, unintended lines were drawn, and the canvas moved on its own. Hoshino Ruru to draw, the little finger ball of the hand placed on the display reacted separately from the pen tip, and a line with a different thickness than the one drawn with the pen tip was drawn. Since it supports touch operation, I felt that I could intuitively operate the liquid crystal pen tablet.Īlso, you can enable or disable the touch operation just by operating the switch on the upper left of the main unit, so it is very convenient to be able to instantly respond to the case where 'a finger touches the screen when drawing and it malfunctions' yes. It is also possible to scale the screen by pinch-in pinch-out operation with two fingers. The anti-glare effect of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (2021) is more obvious than the iMac, and the display hardly reflects light and is designed to reduce eye fatigue.Īlso, Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (2021) supports touch operation, so you can draw lines with your fingers. The display is anti-glare, so there is almost no reflection on the screen. Ruru Hoshino says that the pen has excellent followability and quick response speed, and that you can enjoy 'the usual feeling of drawing'. Another point is that there is almost no parallax between the pen tip and the mouse pointer, so you can draw lines intuitively because you don't feel the thickness of the glass. The display of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (2021) is covered with a specially processed cover glass, so it feels as smooth as if you were drawing on paper. Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (2021) is the same as the previous model, and it is a battery-less Wacom Pro Pen 2 that supports 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity and 60 degrees of tilt detection. Ruru Hoshino usually draws with a combination of 4K compatible 24-inch LCD tablet ' Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 ' and ' CLIP STUDIO PAINT ', so Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (2021) x CLIP STUDIO I was asked to draw with a combination of PAINT. Wacom Cintiq Pro 16: LCD pen tablet | Wacom I was wondering what part of the 16-inch LCD tablet ' Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (2021) ' that supports 4K high image quality has evolved, so I asked professional illustrator Ruru Hoshino to actually use it for drawing. 21:00:00 ``Easy to draw as usual'' Review drawn by a professional illustrator on Wacom's new liquid tab ``Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (2021)'' ![]() ![]() ![]() While the combination trimmer above is all Baraghani needs to keep his already-short hair neat, for guys who aren’t as regular with maintenance, this clipper (made for cutting head hair) is what Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo used to trim her fiancé’s “curly, fast-growing hair” during long pandemic barbershop closures. Barber Ronnal Lee King also likes the Color Pro - the first clipper he says he ever used - telling us that home use will deliver “an almost-professional cut without professional prices.”Ĭordless | Motor: Pivot | Battery life: 5 hours | Guards and attachments: 8 guard attachments ![]() The color-coded guards aren’t the only thing that makes this clipper great for at-home cutters: It also comes with two combs and a pair of scissors, or pretty much everything you’d need to cut men’s hair at home. ![]() Sposito says the Color Pro has a “great guard setup,” which takes the form of 13 guards (ranging from 1/16-inch to one-inch) color-coded by length (hence the “Color Pro” name). Even though this clipper is on the cheaper end of Wahl’s product line, barber David Kim of the Electric Barbering Company in New Jersey says you’re always going to get a “professional product” from the brand, and this one is no exception. While reporting that story, we asked Fellow Barber founder Sam Buffa why the American manufacturer’s name is so popular among his peers, and he told us there are two reasons: The quality of Wahl blades makes its products “the most bang for your buck,” and those blades often “stay sharp for longer.”Ĭorded | Motor: Not specified | Guards and attachments: 13 guard attachments, plus two combs and a pair of scissorsįor a more affordable option that will satisfy anyone in need of a quick cut. Wahl actually makes the majority of the models on this list, some of which also appear on our list of expert-recommended beard trimmers. Once you get comfortable with it, Miguez says the Magic Clip can make hair trimming even easier via a lever that you can press to shorten the length of a guard while trimming, allowing you to taper around the ears and the neck without having to stop and swap in a shorter guard. ![]() Wood Smith agrees about the battery life, and notes that the Magic Clip is “light enough to be able to maneuver around easily by hand.”Īlejandro “AJ” Albano, creative director and barber at Tuft NYC, has been using the cordless Magic Clip since 2015 and agrees that it is the “lightest, easiest-on-the-wrist clipper” he’s used in his two decades of cutting hair. Lester Rivera, of Florida barbershop the Spot, adds that the Magic Clip can manage every hair type, telling us it’s “strong enough to cut through the coarsest of hair yet still able to deliver precision blending.” Another “huge plus” of the cordless clipper, according to Rivera, is its lithium battery, which gives it “almost two hours of battery life” on a single charge. According to Mark Miguez, co-owner and barber at New York City’s Friend of a Barber, the device is not only multifunctional - it’s also a best-in-class beard trimmer - but comes with eight different guard sizes (ranging from 1/16-inch to one-inch) that cater to pretty much any length a home cutter may want.

The processes that produced large earthquakes in the past are still operating. The geological record of the region indicates the recurrence of major seismic events. Though there are many questions about the unique aspects of fault zones and seismic activity in the central United States, earthquake activity in Missouri is a fact. Even buildings that remain structurally sound could become unfit for occupancy due to nonstructural damage, debris, or lack of utility service. Serious damage on a wide scale could lead to protracted service interruptions in communications, water, sewage, electrical, and natural gas service and systems. In addition to structural damage to buildings, roadways, bridges, and overpasses, earthquakes also cause damage to utilities and communications system equipment, both those mounted on antennas or poles, and underground cables, lines, and pipelines. Many basic services would also be threatened. Damage to transportation systems would interrupt travel, transportation of food and commodities, and impede the movement of emergency responders. Modern society is highly dependent on man-made infrastructure. Many buildings, especially unreinforced masonry constructed before seismic engineering and modern building codes were instituted, would be highly vulnerable to damage from earthquakes. A 2.5 magnitude earthquake was recorded less than an hour after a 4.0 magnitude earthquake registered near Williamsville, Missouri on Wednesday night, November. Today, with urban development and the area much more densely populated, the impact of earthquake activity is a source of great concern. Though damage was widespread, fatalities were limited. Louis and the surrounding areas were sparsely populated. ConcernsĪ great deal has changed in the last 200 years. ![]() ![]() It is located along the southeastern Illinois / Indiana border. Wabash Valley was also the epicenter of the most recent quake to date that caused local structural damage. But it has actually been the source of the most recent earthquakes felt in St. The Wabash Valley Seismic Zone is not as well known to Missouri residents as its more famous neighbor. Today, on average there are approximately 200 quakes in the New Madrid Seismic Zone each year. Similar events have happened during the previous 900 years. Geological studies indicate that the 1811-1812 series of quakes was not an isolated occurrence. ![]() ![]() ![]()
