Her response would seem to suggest that she is fully mortal, and therefore unable to go to the Undying Lands unless a special circumstance presented itself. Anyway, she made her choice a long time ago. Arwen's response is that there is no ship to take her to the Undying Lands. Of course, this would mean that she would have no hope of seeing Aragorn again in any afterlife, if there is one. Aragorn, before he does pass, asks her if she wants to change her mind and go to the Undying Lands, after all. Her mind is occupied with much happier thoughts when she gives her place to Frodo, and therefore she probably does not fully consider what might happen after Aragorn's passing. Her focus, after all, is on her future with Aragorn. ![]() Arwen herself certainly seems to think so, though she probably doesn't think too deeply about it at the time. This seems to suggest that Arwen can no longer go to the Undying Lands, as she has given her place to Frodo. She does so in order to help Frodo heal from his wounds. In the Lord of the Rings books, Arwen gives up her spot on the boat to Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood). It's also critical to understand who can go to the Undying Lands. ![]() RELATED: Was Galadriel Capable Of Being More Evil Than Sauron? But still, is there any hope for her? Could she ever see her father and the rest of her people again? Or did she make her choice already and there's no going back? Elrond obviously chose the former, while Arwen chooses the latter. This means that he and his children, such as Arwen, get to choose whether they want to remain Elves or become part of the race of Men. She is able to make this choice due to her father Elrond only being a half-elf. She decides, due to wanting to marry and stay with Aragorn for his whole life, to become a mortal woman. In order to do so, it's crucial to understand Arwen's choice to become mortal. So why not Arwen? Did her marriage to Aragorn really seal her fate?įans might be wondering about the answers to these questions. And when he does end up passing, could Arwen possibly join her father and the rest of her people in the Undying Lands? After all, Legolas (Orlando Bloom) eventually ends up leaving for the same destination after Aragorn is gone. However, all good things must come to an end. Fans root for the two lovers to get together and when they do, it's great. However, one of the happier parts of the conclusion ends up being the wedding of Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Arwen (Liv Tyler). Samwise Gamgee would go there too, having carried the Ring briefly, along with Legolas and Gimli, after the passing of Aragorn.The ending of Lord of the Rings is very bittersweet. They were able to go thanks to the elven ships they rode, taking an invisible path called the Straight Road, which left the curvature of the world, going through space to reach Aman. Valinor was eventually made inaccessible to travelers from the kingdoms of Men, separated from the physical world once known as Arda, with only Middle-earth remaining after the destruction of Númenor.Īt the end of The Return of the King, when Frodo and Bilbo join Gandalf, they are granted permission to do so as they were once ring-bearers, burdened with the One Ring. ![]() The elves particularly go here to live in eternal bliss, where they can preserve their immortality. The Undying Lands is the ancestral home of the Valar, the beings who shaped Arda (essentially Earth) along with the elves and ring-bearers. The Undying Lands is a realm known by multiple names, including ‘The Land Across the Seas,’ and ‘Valinor.’ The realm is part of the Aman continent, itself west across the ocean Belegaer from the continent of Middle-earth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Telephones were generally hardwired, but may have been installed with Bell System connectors to permit portability. In the Bell System, following the Communications Act of 1934, the telephone companies owned all telecommunications equipment and they did not allow interconnection of third-party equipment. The intent was to establish a universal standard for wiring and interfaces, and to separate ownership of in-home (or in-office) telephone wiring from the wiring owned by the service provider. Customers are responsible for all jacks, wiring, and equipment on their side of the MPOE. The MPOE is a utility box, usually containing surge protective circuitry, which connects the wiring on the customer's property to the communication provider's network. The wired communications provider (telephone company) is responsible for delivery of services to a minimum (or main) point of entry ( MPOE). These interfaces used newly standardized jacks and plugs, primarily based on miniature modular connectors. Registration interfaces were created by the Bell System under a Federal Communications Commission order for the standard interconnection between telephone company equipment and customer premises equipment. A six-position modular plug with conductors in only the middle two positions is designated 6P2C 6P4C has four conductors in the middle positions, and 6P6C has all six equipped. 6P indicates a six-position modular plug or jack. The nomenclature for modular connectors is based on the number of contact positions and the number of wires connected. It is commonplace, but not strictly correct, to refer to the unwired connectors or the (male) plugs by these names. The RJ standards designations only pertain to the wiring of the (female) jacks, hence the name Registered Jack. These are the RJ11, RJ14, and RJ25 interfaces. For example, the six-position physical connector, plug and jack, is identically dimensioned and inter-connectable, whether it is wired for one, two, or three lines. Strictly, Registered Jack refers to both the female physical connector ( modular connector) and specific wiring patterns, but the term is often used loosely to refer to modular connectors regardless of wiring, gender, or use, commonly for telephone line connections, but also for Ethernet over twisted pair, resulting in confusion over the various connection standards and applications. Modular connectors were developed to replace older telephone installation methods that used hardwired cords or bulkier varieties of telephone plugs. The same modular connector type may be used for different registered jack applications. The registered jack designations originated in the standardization process of telephone connections in the Bell System in the United States, and describe application circuits and not just the physical geometry of the connectors. For example, RJ11 uses a six-position two-conductor connector ( 6P2C), RJ14 uses a six-position four-conductor ( 6P4C) modular jack, while RJ21 uses a 25-pair (50-pin) miniature ribbon connector. The connectors used for registered jack installations are primarily the modular connector and the 50-pin miniature ribbon connector. Although these standards are legal definitions in the United States, some interfaces are used worldwide. For example, RJ11, RJ14, and RJ25 are the most commonly used interfaces for telephone connections for one-, two-, and three-line service, respectively. ![]() Additional letter suffixes indicate minor variations. Accordingly, registered jacks are primarily named by the letters RJ, followed by two digits that express the type. The specification includes physical construction, wiring, and signal semantics. Registered jack connections began to see use after their invention in 1973 by Bell Labs. They were subsequently codified in title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 68. ![]() Registration interfaces were first defined in the Universal Service Ordering Code (USOC) system of the Bell System in the United States for complying with the registration program for customer-supplied telephone equipment mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the 1970s.

The user interface, which was inspired by Google Maps and infographics, was designed to convey information to the player more clearly than in previous SimCity games. One example is the extra garage for fire stations, which can provide additional fire trucks for increased protection coverage Another example is the Department of Safety for the City Hall, which unlocks more advanced medical, police and fire department buildings. Modules in SimCity are attachable structures that can add functionality to existing user-placeable buildings. Customization – Maxis has indicated that the game will support modding, but will not do so at launch like previous versions.Transportation options – There are a number of options that are included, such as boats, buses, trams, and planes.Terraforming – Creative Director Ocean Quigley stated that all of the terraforming in the game is going to be at the civil engineering scale, and will be the natural consequences of laying out roads, developing zones, and placing buildings.The larger the region, the higher is the number of cities and great works that can be built. Cities can also pool their collective wealth and resources to build a "great work" to provide benefits for the entire region like a massive solar power plant or an international airport. Cities can trade resources or share public services with their neighbors like garbage collection or health care. Elements such as traffic and air pollution are visible flowing between cities. Ĭities in a region are connected to each other via predefined regional networks such as highways, railways, and waterways. The density is driven by the types of roads built around these zones. Types of zones include residential, commercial and industrial. Unlike previous games in the series, the game has non-orthogonal and curved roads and zoning areas that can conform to different road types. Two other new features are a multiplayer component and finite resources. "We try to build what you would expect to see, and that's the game," explains system architect Andrew Willmott, meaning that visual effects such as traffic, economic troubles, and pollution will be more obvious. The poor performance of SimCity was cited for the closure of Maxis Emeryville in 2015.Īlong with many of the cosmetic changes (such as up-to-date 3D graphics), SimCity uses the new GlassBox engine. As a result, reviewers were unable to review the game, labeling the launch a "disaster" and the game "unplayably broken", urging players to avoid purchasing the game until the issues were resolved. These issues included network outages, problems with saving progress and difficulty connecting to the game's servers. Prior to release, SimCity received positive reviews however, the game's launch was received negatively due to widespread technical and gameplay problems related to the mandatory network connection for playing and saving game data. Throughout its development, SimCity received critical acclaim for its new engine and reimagined gameplay however, publications cautioned the game's mandatory use of a persistent internet connection, which enables cloud saves and multiplayer functionality, allowing cities to trade and share resources. SimCity uses a new engine called GlassBox that allows for more detailed simulation than previous games. Players can create a settlement that can grow into a city by zoning land for residential, commercial, or industrial development, as well as building and maintaining public services, transport and utilities. A macOS version was released on August 29, 2013. ![]() Released for Microsoft Windows in early March 2013, it is a reboot of the SimCity series, and is the first major installment since the release of SimCity 4 a decade before.

![]() ![]() So the only question is, how are you going to handle that list? You can ignore it and fail to do anything, but that seems bad. Your ethereal To Do list is populated with the list of things you need to do. What you need to realize is, you already have a To Do list. Did you ever deal with that financial issue? That's on your list too. Did you need to send out a few emails this week? That's on your list. Are you launching a new project? All the necessary tasks for it are on your ethereal list. An "ethereal To Do list" exists conceptually for all of us, and we don't really have much of a choice about it. The fact is, if you're reading this, there is already a list of things that you need to do. That depends: Do you want to get everything done? That way if something is behind schedule, you know exactly who to talk to.Īny relevant files can be attached in the Attachments column, ensuring that you or anyone else tracking the progress of this task can see all the detailed information.įor any less detailed but more essential information, a Notes column is provided. Owner indicates who on your team is responsible for each task. You can be smarter than those people, and this spreadsheet will help. Many people confuse what is urgent with what is important. Note that this comes before the Due Date column. Priority lets you see at a glance how important each task is. Status indicates the status of each item, whether it's on hold, completed, or still in the planning stages. But that's just where this template begins. The first step (and the first column) is simply to make a list of all the Tasks that need to be done. This is a very basic To Do list template, the type of list you might make for a simple project without too many complicated multi-part tasks. It's possible this would work better in a spreadsheet. The way that works is to list the five things you have to do, finish one of them, add five new things you have to do on top of that, finish a few of them, add five new things you have to do on top of that, repeating for years until you have a very large file that ends with a list of things you meant to do a decade ago. In practice, this often involves writing a list of five things you have to do on a piece of paper, then losing the piece of paper, writing a list of the four things you remember on another piece of paper, finishing two of them before losing that piece of paper, writing up a third list with the two remaining items and two new ones, and then finding the first piece of paper and realizing you never did that important thing.įor this reason, some people prefer to write their list in a notepad file on their phone or computer. In its most basic form, a To Do List is literally just a list of the things you have to do. Most people are familiar with the concept of a To Do list. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Smaller rotary hammer drills are not that expensive. Homeowners can usually get by renting a rotary hammer drill from their local rental center or Home Depot. If you work in the trades, you will probably need to buy a decent rotary hammer drill. You never know when you will need to hang a hook on a cinderblock wall, install brackets for Christmas lights on brick, or screw down a mat to your garage floor. If you own a drill, it needs to be a hammer drill, not a regular drill. My personal opinion is that everyone should own a cordless hammer drill. Small cordless OSHA-compliant dust extractors are a huge help and should be on everyone’s shopping list. Nowadays, OSHA requires the hole to be vacuumed out with a HEPA-rated dust extractor. I used to keep an air bulb with my rotary hammer drill so I could blow out the hole without getting a face full of dust. Cleaning Up After Drilling Through Brick, Concrete, and MasonryĪfter you drill your hole, do not blow it out. And keep pushing hard!Ī rotary hammer drill is so easy to use and requires so little pressure, the weight of the tool itself is all that is needed to drill the hole. If you still feel like it is stuck, look at the drill bit tip. If you do this a few times you can hopefully crack the stone that is in your drill path. If you feel like you get stuck, which can happen if you hit a piece of stone, pull the drill back a couple of inches and slam it forward while the drill is running at full speed. Who knows, you may get lucky and burn out your drill motor! As hard as you can without binding up the drill. This time get a hammer drill! In case your spouse is watching and you can’t do that, you have to do it the hard way. Then, tell your significant other that you need to buy a new drill. ![]() If you need to drill into concrete with a regular drill (and no hammer feature) your best bet is to “accidentally” spill a drink inside the opening of the tool. How to Drill Through Brick, Concrete & Masonry – Techniques Regular Drill Where the Bosch Rebar Cutters are meant to only cut rebar, the Diablo bits can be used as your primary cutter.ĭewalt’s new portable dust extraction solution for smaller SDS-Plus rotary hammers. They last up to 7 times longer than a traditional concrete drill bit in these applications and are well worth the investment. We like both the Bosch Rebar Cutters and the Diablo Rebar Demon SDS-Plus and SDS-Max bits for this. Fortunately, various manufacturers have created solutions for this. It takes a LONG time to drill through rebar using regular masonry bits. You can either drill a new hole in a different location or drill through the rebar. If you hit rebar when drilling, you have two options. Anything thicker than a few inches probably includes rebar. A small pad may simply use thin wire mesh. Most concrete features embedded steel reinforcement of some type. I have also used then when installing outdoor sculptures. All of these bits have come in handy at one time or another when installing computer network cable or displays at the Polk Museum. Though I occasionally need both 18-inch and 24-inch long SDS plus-I tend to buy those as needed. You might also want to have a set of 12-inch long bits all the way up to whatever the largest diameter your rotary hammer will support. I recommend keeping a set of 6-inch SDS Plus bits up to a 1/2-inch diameter. Grooves in the SDS Max bit shank (left) and SDS Plus (right) prevent it from spinning under high torque. From installing a Tapcon or inserting a few plastic anchors into a concrete wall, a hammer drill speeds up your workflow significantly over a drill. , In the event you eventually need to drill into brick or concrete, it will be well worth it. Check out our linked article for more details on how each works.Įditor’s Note: When you buy your next drill, you may want to pay the extra few dollars and get the hammer drill model. Whereas a hammer drill adds a vibrating mechanism to a standard drill, a rotary hammer uses an actual hammering/percussive mechanism to drive the bit forward and back in a more deliberate manner. Since some of the tool names might seem counterintuitive from what you might expect, let’s start by defining a hammer drill vs a rotary hammer.
