![]() Many hornbill species, including the great hornbill, are threatened by habitat loss since they depend on mature forest for nesting. Great hornbills are listed as near threatened by the IUCN. Young leave the nest after another two weeks and are independent around 15 weeks. About five weeks after chicks hatch the female leaves the nest and the chicks seal themselves back in, with parents returning to feed them throughout the day. The male feeds her though a tiny opening in the wall. Females stay inside the nest to incubate one or two eggs for 38-40 days. The pair finds a hollowed area in a tree and the female seals herself in using mud, bits of bark, fruit pulp and feces. This species has a unique nesting method. Great hornbills produce very loud vocalizations that sound like cackling and roaring, they are especially noisy when roosting. Hornbills are territorial and will actively defend their range and nest.īreeding season is from February to May during this time, males compete for female attention by bumping casques and pairs perform call-and-answer duets. Great hornbills are monogamous and usually found in pairs, although large groups of birds will feed together. ![]() At the zoo, they are fed fruit and insects. The majority of this species’ diet consists of fruit but they will also occasionally eat insects, small reptiles, amphibians, other birds and small mammals. They prefer tall trees in moist evergreen forests. Great hornbills are found in southeast Asia, including parts of India, China, Myanmar, Vietnam and south to the Malay Peninsula. Lifespan is 35 -40 years in the wild, and up to 50 years under human care. Since each hornbill species give different flight noises, some biologists believe that hornbills use the sound of their flight to communicate with one another, signaling their arrival or departure to other birds. Most hornbills are strong in flight, and the sound of air passing between the feathers in their wings can be very loud. The male’s casque is larger than the female’s. In the majority of hornbill species, the casque is hollow with a honeycomb structure inside for support. They may take up to six years to completely form, and are made from the same material which covers the outside of the jaw. These hornbills are known for their large curved bill that is topped with a distinct enlargement called a casque. When birds groom themselves they spread the oil over their feathers and head, giving each bird a unique coloration. Great hornbills have a gland near their tail that secrets a yellowish-orange oil. Males have red eyes surrounded by black skin, while females have white eyes surrounded by red skin. The wings have white bands while the white tail is barred with black bands. ![]() Both male and female birds are primarily black with white necks. The great hornbill is among the world’s largest hornbill species, weighing in at up to six pounds. Toucans are found only in central and South America, while hornbills are found exclusively in Africa and southeast Asia. ![]() Even though hornbills and toucans may look similar, they are not closely related.The casque on top of a hornbill’s bill is a structure unique to this group of birds, and shows a huge diversity of forms among the members of the family.Great hornbills are also known as Indian hornbills.Hornbills are fond of figs in fact, up to 200 hornbills may gather in the same tree to feed on fruit. ![]() Our male hornbill was hatched at a zoo in Southern California. ![]()

![]() ![]() Watercolor-styled rendering by James Akers (created using SketchUp for iPad and Procreate). I find it easier to customize the styles settings of my 2D scenes in SketchUp for iPad than in SketchUp for Desktop fewer choices and the higher resolution of the linework make them more appealing! After making edits, I’ll export 2D scenes back to Procreate and begin to layer colors, textures, and shadows over the model. “Depending on whether I’m at my desk, I’ll sometimes build the first massing model in SketchUp for Desktop and then import it into SketchUp for iPad to see it in beautiful, high-quality resolution. Now he can step in, build a quick massing study on iPad, export 2D scenes for hand rendering in either Morpholio Trace or Procreate, and voila! His hand-drawn sketches are eye-catching and help his clients' designs stand out from the crowd of computer-generated renderings. SketchUp for iPad was a game-changer for James’ consulting business. Because of my 20 years of experience, I can render an early-stage concept more quickly and inexpensively than if they have to put a team together." My dilemma was, how do I create renderings of the same quality but more promptly and cheaply? Many design firms hire tech-savvy employees who can produce outstanding photo-realistic computer renderings, but a lot of time is wasted going back and forth between them and the design principal. “My clients had begun to see me as the expensive dinosaur. In recent years, James’ comparatively expensive watercolor business model had trouble competing with both in-house and inexpensive offshore computer renderings, and he began to lose business. Design principals often come to him on a tight deadline to submit a proposal for a project and need a quick presentation for their initial design concepts. ![]() These renderings are more fluid – perfect for explaining your vision without committing to a photo-realistic likeness that may change later. James’ clients are primarily based in New York City and often prefer watercolor renderings for presenting their early concepts. I saw the difference the first time I zoomed in on a sample of wood texture while doing an in-app tutorial, and it blew me away.”īlack and white watercolor-styled rendering by James Akers (created using SketchUp for iPad and Procreate). It’s similar to the difference between an old 4-bit video game and the newest games. ![]() “The first thing I noticed about SketchUp for iPad was its high-quality resolution. He’s recently started using it for early-stage concept design, schematic design development, and hand-drawn renderings. James affectionately refers to SketchUp for iPad as “SkiP” for shorthand and because it's light and friendly. He creates hand-drawn renderings for large-scale hospitality and residential projects using SketchUp for Desktop and, more recently, SketchUp for iPad combined with either Procreate or Morpholio Trace. James Akers, a longtime architectural design and visualization consultant, is passionate about designing and rendering by hand (with a bit of help from Apple Pencil) on SketchUp for iPad, and – even better – he’s already perfected the workflow to do it. SketchUp for iPad’s release in early 2022 means that architects can once again create with their fingertips – amplified by the power of 3D modeling. It’s not surprising, given your hands and your brain are two parts of your body that are firmly connected, and working with your hands is good for your brain. While the building industry has moved from 2D drawings to 3D models and virtual reality, some designers miss the tactile feel of designing and rendering their concepts by hand.

Once defeated, it will crash trough the ceiling (if defeated by Lilac) or the wall (if defeated by Carol or Torque), blowing up afterwards. At the end of this area is the major boss battle against the Snake Mount again. The good thing is it also deals with any enemy along the path. Not that it matters anyway since the boulder destroys most of it on the way. The player won't have time to admire the scenery unless they want to be flattened by five tons of solid rock. Near the end of this area, there are dancing trees with spikes on the side.įor most of this area, there's a big boulder giving chase, "Indiana Jones" style.

After defeating it, the Hunter Snake will retreat by breaking through a wall, opening a path to the second half of this stage.

The level starts in a relatively dry scrub land area and is fairly straightforward. Meanwhile, a less concerned Carol notices multiple Choppers flying towards the crash site while driving in the opposite direction, and decides to help out "Little Miss Heropants". So I just recently discovered this, and its been news for about 2 months now, so I expect one or more to know about this. While preparing for a raid during the annual pilgrimage to the Kingdom Stone, Lilac witnesses a plane crash landing in Dragon Valley and races off to help the pilot. ![]() ![]() Just like we need clean air to function our best, so do our car engines. Also, dirty air makes your air conditioner work harder. If you have allergies, you really need to remember to change it. You can usually find it either behind the glove compartment or under the dashboard. The cabin air filter helps keep the air inside your vehicle clean. Annually (12-15k Miles) Change Cabin Air Filter You’ll have some idea if you need it because you’ll hear the squeaking in your suspension. I’m listing it here though so that when the oil change guy gives you a long list of “recommended” maintenance, you’ll know this one is legit. ![]() This is another one of those things that because it involves crawling under the car, I prefer to let someone else do. Inspect Hoses for CracksĪgain, as long as you are under the hood with a critical eye, go ahead and look over all of the hoses to make sure there aren’t any cracks in them. Also watch out for belts that appear oily or glazed since they might slip, which will affect how effectively the engine is cooled. ![]() You basically want to check to make sure the belt doesn’t have any tears, bumps, or small holes. Modern serpentine belts don’t require a lot of maintenance but they should be checked periodically since they don’t last forever. If it’s below or near the minimum, you just need to add more fluid to the reservoir. To check it, just unscrew the cap and check the fluid level on the dipstick, which should be labeled in some way indicating a minimum and maximum fill line. Your power steering fluid reservoir should be clearly labeled. Either one will impact the flow of electricity and the operation of your vehicle. You’re looking for signs of corrosion or loose connections. Sometimes, like ours, they are covered with a protective rubber casing that you have to pull back. While you’re under the hood checking the transmission fluid, go ahead and check the cables connected to the battery. The process to check is the same: pull it out, wipe it clean, reinsert, pull out and check. In fact, if you don’t know much about cars, it’s easy to confuse the two dipsticks. Check Automatic Transmission FluidĬhecking the automatic transmission fluid is similar to checking your engine oil. What good is putting nice, clean oil in your vehicle if it has to travel through a dirty filter clogged with old oil? Each time you change your oil (or have it changed), you should also replace the oil filter. And as long as you’re checking and filling all of your own fluids, a routine oil change is usually inexpensive. You can do this yourself, but if you have a car that sits low to the ground it can be a pain. Every 3 Months (3-5k Miles) Change Engine Oil It only takes a minute to lift up your wipers and inspect the blades for damage or debris that will interfere with their windshield wiping efficiency. To demonstrate, I enlisted the help of my 16-year old daughter who gets her license in a few weeks. It only takes a few minutes to check everything and once you know where to look and what to look for, it’s so easy that even a novice teen driver can do it without assistance. MonthlyĮach month you should check fluid levels and general condition of the car, like if you need to remove water spots from car.

Once the fudge has set, take it out of the fridge to thaw for a couple of minutes. ![]() Then you can put the fudge in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or until it sets. Next, pour the peanut butter chocolate fudge mixture into the tray or pan and evenly smooth out the top with a rubber spatula. A 9x9 or 8x8 size works well, but really any size will work! The size of the pan will just determine the thickness of the fudge. Now line a baking tray or loaf pan with parchment paper. Make sure you do this in two 1 minute intervals - trying to heat it for two straight minutes will burn the ingredients. N ext, you can microwave it for 1 more minute and stir until you have a fully combined, thick chocolate sauce-like mixture.

Raise heat to medium, bring mixture to a full, rolling boil, and boil for 2 minutes. Melt the butter over low heat in a heavy saucepan. This white fudge frosting is "dreamy" and so good!!
