![]() ![]() ![]() Some are shipped in the United States by railroad flatcars with the blade, push arms and ripper frame removed. These machines are so big that they must be partially dismantled for shipment to most sites. In November of 2018, a number of enhancements were introduced and announced for the current D11T/D11T CD machines. They stand taller than the ones on the D11N/D11R. Another difference is that the D11T has its exhaust mufflers closer to the front of the cab, similar to the D10T. The D11R and the D11T differ in the configuration and layout of their operator controls several levers have been changed into electronic switches, and several controls have been moved for increased visibility. The D11T and D11T CD are both powered by the CAT C32 engine with ACERT technology. A new D11T was on display at the Caterpillar display at Minexpo during the 22 to 24 September 2008 expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. As with the D11R, the D11T Carrydozer can push 57.9 yards (52.9 m) while the regular D11T can push 45 yards (41 m) of earth. It comes as a regular bulldozer and a Carrydozer like the previous model. The current D11T was introduced in early 2008 and is also 850 hp (630 kW). According to Caterpillar, by the year 2000 over 3,000 D11s had been produced at their plant in East Peoria. The Carrydozer's weight is just over 120 short tons (110 t) at 248,600 pounds (112,800 kg). Both D11R and D11R CD received a new Caterpillar 3508B EUI electronically controlled unit injector diesel engine with electronic controls at 915 gross hp (682 kW). The Carrydozer had the structure strengthened considerably for the extra weight and much bigger blade that it carried up front, also, the ripper was fitted with an additional counterweight block. Komatsu developed a lengthened Superdozer undercarriage with two additional rollers per side to reduce wear, a step that Caterpillar avoided for their Carrydozer machines. These higher undercarriage costs must be considered when opting for a Carrydozer version. The increased weight on the undercarriage means also higher contact pressure between rollers and track links, which can increase wear significantly. The deeper curvature of the Carrydozer/Superdozer blades literally carry the dirt moved, and the weight of the load increases pressure on the undercarriage and is thereby increasing the traction of the bulldozer. This blade design was introduced by Komatsu on their D575 A-2 dozers in 1995 as the Superdozer version. The Carrydozer version has a special blade with a curvature that allowed 57 cy ( 43.6 m³) to be pushed. The finger tip controls (FTC) allowed the D11R to be steered with small fingertip clutches on the left hand side. Other improvements made to the D11R were fingertip controls and electronic clutch and brakes. Both were 770 hp (570 kW) and that would be increased to 850 hp (630 kW) later in 1997. The D11R and D11R Carrydozer were introduced in Las Vegas, Nevada, at MINExpo International in 1996. This would become known as the D11N Impact Ripper. In 1987 a hydraulically powered impact ripper was added to the D11N which raised the weight up to 225,950 lb (102,490 kg). The D11N's improvements made it over 10 percent more productive than the D10. This increased the blade capacity to 45 cu yd (34 m 3). The U blade was just under 21 feet (6.4 m) long and 7 feet (2.1 m) high. The D11N had some major improvements over the D10: it includes a bigger track and blade, and a longer track by 21 inches (0.53 m). The D11N was introduced in February 1986 to replace the D10. Primarily designed as a bulldozer, it is also used for push-loading scrapers, and ripping rock overburden. in East Peoria, Illinois, and mainly used in the mining industry. ![]() The Caterpillar D11T is a large bulldozer, manufactured by Caterpillar Inc. ![]()

These punks and posers like to pretend they are some kind of subversives they think they are fighting the dominating hierarchy of ruthless Hollywood tycoons. Instead, Skelley uses “the self” as an experiment in falling-leaf susceptibility, deploying his terminal insignificance as a perpetual shadow of “those stupid trendy punks” and offering a rare real-time critique of what many fluff as authentic yesterdays:Īll they ever do is take drugs and put on makeup and practice their pouts in their greasy Hollywood bathroom mirrors. In 1982, transgressive godfather Dennis Cooper released Skelley’s avant-prose-poetry collection Monsters on his Little Caesar imprint, and while this cements him as Cooper’s contemporary, Skelley’s brand of transgression bespeaks the TV-fried, wide-eyed wonder of a disappointed utopian-a rock-kicking, innocent angst that sets him apart not only from Cooper but also from today’s younger Cooper devotees, some of whose debauched confessionals come across as predictable and self-indulgent. And while his jagged, repetitive (loopy?) style seems akin to modern alt-fiction like Marston Hefner’s High School Romance (2022), FOKA is best ingested as a time-capsule document rather than as one of these “newer narrative” novellas, its inclusion of event flyers and an index of “character” bios offering an intimate scrapbook element. It was a nascent and fertile moment when Kathy, at the peak of her powers, disrupted me, erupted in me.” After hearing the chapbook discussed on the radio in the 1980s, Acker sent Skelley a postcard that would become a crowning endorsement of the work: “espite my dislike of seeing my own name I think you’re a good writer Never what’s expected,” she wrote.Ībout one-fourth of FOKA’s 135 pages consists of commentary by poet Amy Gerstler, author/critic Sabrina Tarasoff, and Skelley himself, taking the rare opportunity to fully contextualize his work. Yet Skelley pays substantial tribute to Acker in his introduction, pointing to his own literary puberty in which she was a catalyst: “er vastly funny, scary, sexy portals to expression opened at a susceptible period. One of the strangest, most audacious winks Fear of Kathy Acker bestows is the fact that its contents have little to do with her. odyssey, capturing a time and place that could never happen again through the eyes of a weirdo among weirdos, long before our gentrified dystopias attempted to preserve their endangered weirdness. Before its present suffusion into literary fiction.” Though Skelley believes autofiction “is a misnomer”-that “all fiction is rooted in autobiography”-the recent resurgence of autofiction (or what he called the “Rise of The Literary Thrill-Seeking Industrial Complex”) might owe a buried debt to Skelley’s rambling L.A. Before Chris Kraus’s stunningly fucked-up and confounding I Love Dick. “From today’s vantage I can see now that FOKA snapshot ‘autofiction’ in its genesis,” he says. Now that he’s “approaching geezerhood,” Skelley calls the time gap “freakish,” wondering what comparisons exist for other lost-and-found novels.īut waiting is often fermenting-even four decades may prove that timing is everything. ![]() You can imagine the jolt I felt to learn that after nearly four decades this book will finally be published. “But in 2020, there was an explosion of writing and publishing, and the resurrection of FOKA epitomizes this. “All my life I have never not been writing,” he says, noting years full of lower-key fiction parceling and nonfiction. ![]() AUTHOR/POET/MUSICIAN/CULTURAL CRITIC Jack Skelley “can’t explain why” The Complete Fear of Kathy Acker took so long to be properly released “except to say that nature and fate conspire against art.” Skelley recently joked that he’s been staging “THEE GREATEST COMEBACK IN THE HISTORY OF INDIE LIT!” And he’s not wrong, given the almost four-decade gap between his first book, Monsters (1982), and his recent deluge: Dennis Wilson and Charlie Manson (2021), Interstellar Theme Park (2022), and now The Complete Fear of Kathy Acker (2023), which originally appeared in two long out-of-print chapbooks in 1984–85. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gold prospectors in the area are rumored to have created it and/or popularize it.ĭespite being highly popular ever since the Solitaire Klondike only reached the masses on a large scale after it was included in Microsoft’s Windows 3.0 in 1990. ![]() Regardless of its birthplace, the most well-known version of the game, Klondike, is said to have appeared by the end of the 19th century in Canada, in the gold rush region of Klondike. The origins of Solitaire are still a source of debate among historians with many pointing to 19th century France and Germany while others believe its emergence is linked to the spread of the art of divination in Eastern Europe. It is also possible for more players to engage in the game with each taking turns making a move or through a competition to find who can solve the tableau more efficiently. Despite its many variants depending on the disposition of the cards on the tableau, the goal is always to organize and collect the cards in a set order in as few moves as possible and in the quickest time. Solitaire, also known as Patience in many countries, is a single-player card game. The Klondike by Threes is the difficult mode of the game, as it prevents the players from using all the cards in the Stock pile in one go. The Solitaire Klondike itself has two game modes, depending on how the cards on the Stock pile are dealt: This is the game that became so widespread thanks to its inclusion in Windows 3.0 back in 1990 and that has since turned into a symbol of procrastination at work, thanks to its popularity among office workers. Nevertheless, whenever Solitaire is mentioned everyone immediately thinks about one variant: the Klondike. There are several variants included in this category, some of which share nothing with the others except for the use of cards to play them. In reality, the name Solitaire does not refer to a specific game. Young and old alike can appreciate the peacefulness this game provides, so suitable when it comes to clearing their minds and winding down in a moment of stress. Solitaire is one of the most popular card games in the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Several of the same design and feature choices were made across the Onyx Studio 5 and the newer Onyx Studio 6.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review. It is rare to read books with such emotional honesty, deep characterization, and a plot that will keep you turning the pages as you root for the characters-and love-to triumph. Each book I have read so far in this series has had such an emotional depth and breadth with characters who are so human in their actions and reactions to what happens in the stories. I hadn't read any of her books before, and I am definitely a new fan. This is the third book that I've read by Marci Bolden. The way he acts is the way that love should be, so it is beautiful to read even though it is tragic. Marcus is an amazing hero to watch as he stands by the woman he loves during this most difficult time even when it is not easy for him. You won't want to do anything else so you can watch the progress and transformation of the plot unfold. The tragedy is a surprise, seeming to come out of nowhere-as tragedies often do-and while it is not an easy read, the author has made the characters' reactions to it so real and so very human. ![]() It was not easy for these characters to come together for a variety of reasons, and the author showed that with emotional honesty on both the characters parts. In the first part, it helps the reader understand the complexity of Annie's character because of her troubled past that has made her a slightly prickly person. This tragedy affects everyone in the sphere of the book, and it is heart-wrenching.Īs I have come to expect from this author, this is an amazing book. I won't detail what it is here because it is heart-stopping and dramatic, and you should read it yourself if you choose this book. They have only just begun this shift when tragedy strikes. He's willing to quit and work for someone else so the furthering of their relationship can happen. Annie is starting to come to appreciate him more in that regard but is hesitant to do anything because of their professional relationship since she is his boss. Marcus has had an attraction to the boss for as long as he's worked for her, but only recently does he think that the feeling might be mutual. The third installment of Stonehill series centers on Annie, Paul's sister (who was the hero of the previous book of the series) and her relationship with Marcus, who has worked in her realty office for five years. My opinions are my own and no compensation was received. I received a free copy of this book from the JGBS Review Library in exchange for my honest review. ![]() I recommend this read to those who enjoy romance and don't mind a bit of slow start. I'm happy to see that she takes a bigger role in the next book! There's something about how the author describes her feelings and how she can reach out to people at such a young age that warms my heart. Even though her role in this book is minor, I really enjoyed the scene that she was in. In this series, my favorite character continues to be Jessica. When Boudreaux describes the hardships that her characters went through, I felt some of their pain, as well. The author soared here in going through the pain and guilt the characters felt during this part giving the read more sustance. When the tragedy happened and living through the aftermath, I began to really started to enjoy the book. I found myself tired of reading about the beginning of their relationship and wanted more to the story. Even though we, as readers, vaguely know Annie from the previous Stonehill Romance novel, I still felt that her struggle with opening to Marcus was fast in this book, and she got over her reluctance towards a potential relationship quick. I did feel that most of the first half of the book was a bit slow and repetitive. The writing is good with a few minor grammatical errors. ![]() In this third installment of Stonehill Romance, Boudreaux keeps her focus on Annie and Marcus, alternating the story perspective through their eyes. However, when a devastating unexpected event turns everything in her life around, can her newly found love, Marcus, convince her that he can and will be there for her? She has also never been in a serious relationship due to the disappointing men in her life. Never needing assistance from anyone else. Annie O'Connell has always been a strong, independent woman. ![]() ![]() Why is it important that the second-hand market grows? Shopping second-hand helps you understand your own style, and it’s so much more rewarding than going to the high street and purchasing the same thing as 10 other people around you. I sold a small amount to friends and had a great response so during the first lockdown I finally had the time to really think about how I could go about doing it more seriously. Why did you start buying and selling clothes second-hand? “Often people come to find the latest trends, which tend to bubble up on Depop anywhere from two weeks up to two months ahead of the mainstream fashion industry.”Ĭaitlyn Leckey, above, tells Ryan Hogg how she began curating and selling clothes through her company Second.Soul It is a “community of like-minded creatives, young entrepreneurs and sustainable-enthusiasts”, she says. The search for unique items is what attracts many GenZers to resale platform Depop, but it is more than a place to buy and sell, says chief executive Maria Raga. “And then it’s more emotional things - liking the treasure hunt, and finding something that is not easily replaceable, that is quite unique.” “Often it’s money-saving, often it’s sustainability,” explains Kampmann. What motivates this chunk that are keen on resale and reuse? Sandra Kampmann, the group’s head of insights and analytics, says its research shows that, while a large number of consumers are not interested in resale and reuse, there is “a big chunk” who are. ![]() Even big retailers such as Asos, H&M and Levi’s have tapped into the resale market.Īsos introduced its own second-hand marketplace in 2010 to allow individuals and small boutiques to sell used clothing.

At Rotaro, which was set up to help luxury brands enter the circular economy, and where the average customer’s age is 26, she caters to two main types: the “playful aspirational”, whose priority is access to top brands at a good price and the “conscious consumer”, for whom rental aligns with their sustainable values.īoth aspirations fit in with the circular economy model of reuse and prolonging the life of manufactured items. What unites them is a desire for newness and affordability, says Hyatt. ![]() Or, as trend forecaster WGSN puts it: “Gen Me” and “Gen We”.

As for rental, the global market is expected to reach revenues of $7bn by 2025, according to research by data provider Statista.īut there is a divide at the heart of Gen Z’s behaviour. In the second-hand apparel market, a recent report from resale platform ThredUp predicts the US sector will reach $77bn for 2025 - more than double the figure for 2021. “What we are seeing with young consumers is that ‘new’ doesn’t need to be ‘new off the shelf’ - it just means new to the consumer,” says Georgie Hyatt, co-founder and chief executive of Rotaro, a fashion rental site.Īs a result, a steep rise in rental and resale is under way, driven largely by young people aged below 26 - Generation Z. There is a thrill to buying something new to wear - but does it need to be newly made to feel special? And do you need to own it?įor many younger shoppers, who have grown up in the sharing economy in which ownership is less important than for their parents, buying jeans second-hand or renting a designer dress is not unusual. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Highly attractive and distinctly feminine, Madagascan Rose Quartz is finished eye-clean, the highest quality clarity grade for colored gemstones.

One of the best ways that you can remove this unpleasant odour is to “season” your mats outdoors. The reason for the smell is that EVA foam mats are made of a chemical called Formamide, and when you first remove the mats from the packaging, the mats tend to “breathe”, releasing this chemical into the air. Follow the steps below, and you can easily install your own foam tiles:ĮVA foam is a great surface to make a martial arts training centre out of, but it can have an acrid, unpleasant odour when you install them. The key is to avoid binding, warping, and holes in the training surface. No matter what type of jigsaw mat you purchase, they all come with connectors which tesselate into one another, creating a flat surface free of gaps. You may choose to install your mats to create a full-sized ring in your training center, using one colour for the combat area, whilst a different colour for the safe areas. If you have multiple colours, then you could create intricate patterns corresponding to the colours.

One of the most popular types of puzzle mat materials is XPE foam. There are other types of puzzle mats available which are made from different materials. The surface of EVA foam tiles has a lot of grip, making it ideal for both the athletes standing on top of it and for creating enough friction on the underside of the mat to hold it in one place. The reason for this is that it is a great insulator, and able to withstand heavy pressures, whilst also returning to its same shape and size. EVA foam is found in many industries, including automobile manufacturing, home building, and the athletic industry. The “EVA” in EVA tiles stands for ethylene vinyl acetate, and it is a closed cell foam which is non-toxic, waterproof, and has a high density.
