Making the situation even worse, we stress once again that it is unrealistic to think that the decline of the population in a situation of strong environmental degradation would be a non-chaotic and well-ordered decline.

My current base has a long line of powered buildings side by side with an enormous amount of power generated through water wheels between them. Likewise, you can use your gears to connect a powered building to an unpowered one in order to power it. But they must be directly adjacent to each other.

While Zeta gets distracted, Chuck ties up the weapon using Silver's new invention, a very strong string called Super-String, which catches and decelerates the lava balls after Zeta fires them. Zeta brushes him off, revealing his real name is Ethan and that her servant Debbie is their daughter. Mighty Eagle arrives and makes a desperate attempt to stop Zeta by apologizing to her. Red and Silver put themselves inside an ice ball and roll it down the spiraling ammunition track of Zeta's super weapon, with their allies working to sever the track by reaching and pulling a switch so that the ball would fly off and crush the cannon, but the plan fails and the team gets confronted by Zeta and her guards, giving her a chance to fire the weapon. The duo reunite with the rest of the team and Red gives up leadership to Silver, who establishes a plan to destroy the weapon. Red, regretting not telling the birds to evacuate, admits his wish liked by everyone to Silver, who comforts him and frees them both. As Red and Silver got caught and frozen to inflatables, Zeta tells them her plan to fire ice balls filled with lava at both islands, and demonstrates her newly upgraded cannon. The other team members disguise themselves as an eagle and grab a key card to get into the base. They intrude the base from the mouth of the weapon, and got captured. Red insists on fighting alone but Silver decides to follow him instead. Once there, Mighty Eagle confesses that Zeta was once his fiance but he abandoned her due to cowardice before he flies away. As the team travels to Eagle Island by submarine, Red assures the other birds that they do not need to evacuate. A meeting in Mighty Eagle's cave gets disrupted when an ice ball from Zeta's super-weapon hits Eagle Mountain, which alarms the other birds living on Bird Island. ![]() They recruit Chuck, Bomb, Silver and Bird Island's retired hero, Mighty Eagle. ![]() Leonard visits Red and convinces him to ally with the pigs for a brief amount of time. Red's two best friends, Chuck and Bomb, surprise Red and ask him to join them in a speed dating activity, where Red meets Chuck's sister Silver, an engineering student who deems Red incompatible. Zeta, the leader of Eagle Island, is angry with her frozen surroundings and wants to occupy the two islands by shooting ice balls from a super-weapon to force their inhabitants to evacuate. Eventually, a giant ice ball from a nearby island called Eagle Island hits the sea near Piggy Island, forcing the pigs to seek a temporary truce with the birds. The pigs, led by King Leonard Mudbeard, are in a prank war against the birds after Piggy Island is rebuilt. Three years after the Birds destroyed Pig City as retribution for the Pigs' theft of their eggs, Red protects Bird Island from pigs.

If your little one scares easily - or even if they don't - you may want to read through it first and make sure it's appropriate for their maturity level. Firstly, it's supposed to be for ages 4-8, but it's awfully wordy for younger kids, and I'm not sure they'd sit still through the whole thing. I'm going to recommend it to you, because it's a cute story and a lot of people really like it, but I'm going to add a few caveats. So popular, in fact, that it was checked out the first time she told me about it, and I had to get it another day. It was the very first day of school, and she couldn’t decide what to wear. Today she was fretting even more than usual. Camilla always worried about what other people thought of her. All of her friends hated lima beans, and she wanted to fit in. This book was recommended to me by a librarian friend of mine (thanks, Libby!), who told me that this book is really popular with her patrons.

The main character is a girl named Camilla Cream who secretly loves lima beans. ![]() It's not something that you tell people in polite company, but it's true. I'm going to make a confession right now: like Camilla, I love lima beans. ![]() Will things ever get better for her? Or is the real problem that she won't show her true colors because she cares so much what everyone else thinks? When specialists give her pills to clear things up, she turns into a giant capsule. Things just keep getting worse for poor Camilla she can't help but be influenced by 100 different things. When she looks in the mirror to judge her latest outfit, Camilla is shocked - she's come down with a case of stripes! Oh, no! And after the doctor clears her to go to school, stripes and all, she finds out that she's even more impressionable than she thought: the pledge of allegiance made her break out in stars! And upon recommendations from her classmates, she's also covered in a checkerboard pattern. In fact, she tries on 42 outfits for the first day of school, just trying to find the perfect one (too bad none of them were quite right). A Bad Case Of Stripes by David Shannon tells the story of Camilla Cream, who loved lima beans, but never ate them, because everyone knows that lima beans are yucky, and if there's anything that Camilla wants out of life, it's to be accepted. ![]() By noon the Marines had dispersed the rebels and taken the town. Butler briefly panicked, but quickly regained his composure and led his Marines in pursuit of the fleeing enemy. In the initial moments of the assault, his first sergeant was wounded.

His Marine company soon returned to the U.S. In July 1898, he went to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, arriving shortly after its invasion and capture. He trained in Washington DC, at the Marine Barracks on the corner of 8th and I Streets. In the anti-Spanish war fever of 1898, Butler lied about his age to receive a direct commission as a Marine Second Lieutenant. Nevertheless, Haverford awarded him his high school diploma on 6 June 1898, before the end of his final year his transcript stated he completed the Scientific Course "with Credit."

I was thinking simply that people like me would like to do it. ![]() I drew up the first story and they thought, ‘Let’s go for it’. “I had a kids’ book commissioned and I told them I would like to do one for grown-ups. The illustrator, who lives in Aberdeenshire, has been astonished at the reaction since she released Secret Garden in 2013. Now it is socially acceptable, it’s a category of its own. So many people have said to me that they used to do secret colouring in when their kids were in bed. For many people, a blank sheet is very daunting with a colouring book you just need to bring the colour. “I think it is really relaxing, to do something analogue, to unplug,” said Basford. The Mindfulness Colouring Book pushes this perspective particularly strongly, with its publisher telling readers that it is “filled with templates for exquisite scenes and intricate, sophisticated patterns, prompting you to meditate on your artwork as you mindfully and creatively fill these pages with colour”, and urging potential colourers to “take a few minutes out of your day, wherever you are, and colour your way to peace and calm”. It really took off for us – selling the anti-stress angle gave people permission to enjoy something they might have felt was quite childish,” she said. It sold strongly and reprinted, but it was last year that it all really mushroomed with Art Therapy, in June. “The first one we did was in 2012, Creative Colouring for Grown-Ups. Basford’s titles are in second and eighth place - that’s half of .uk’s top 10 taken up by colouring books for adults.Īt independent UK publisher Michael O’Mara, which has sold almost 340,000 adult colouring books to date, head of publicity, marketing and online, Ana McLaughlin, attributes the craze to the way the category has been reimagined as a means of relaxation. In the UK, Richard Merritt’s Art Therapy Colouring Book sits in fourth spot on Amazon’s bestseller lists, Millie Marotta’s Animal Kingdom – detailed pictures of animals to colour – sits in seventh, and a mindfulness colouring book sits in ninth. ![]() Photograph: Johanna Basford and Laurence KingĪnd it is not just Basford who is reaping the benefits of the hordes of adults who, it turns out, just wanted something to colour in. The intricate outlines of adult colouring books. ![]() The inner dimension of the seal is 7/8 inch on earlier gear boxes and 1 1/16 inch on post 69 gear boxes. ![]() The housing I have from the wreckers suits the 1 3/8 inch outer seal while the one in my current Elan gearbox suits the 1 5/8. The other key variation is the input shaft seal and housing as there are two housings one that suits a 1 3/8 inch seal outer diameter and one a 1 5/8 inch outer diameter. Maybe it was used with a later engine at some stage and the input shaft changed as the17 mm spigot require a special and thin walled and fragile oilite bush to fit into the 21mm hole in the 6 bolt crank. Why one of the pre 66 wide ratio Cortina boxes I have came with a 15mm spigot is not clear. Supposedly according to the Bean manual the 15mm spigot was used on semi close ratio boxes and 17 mm on all wide ratio and early close ratio boxes with the outer bearing / oilite bronze bush diameter varying with the 4 bolt ( 40mm) versus 6 bolt (21mm) cranks. Provided the rings are matched to the hub and the splines match on the shaft they are apparently interchangeable on the main shaft and gears.Īnother key variation is input shaft spigot size with one of my pre 66 wide ratio Cortina boxes having a 17mm spigot and the other 15mm. These hubs came in two versions using the earlier synchro rings for the draw nut version and later synchro rings for the snap ring version so I will need rings to match the hub and rings that I source. The Quaife gear set uses the later 1.29 inch spline for the synchro hub so I will need to source a later synchro hub. My original 68 Elan shaft in the photo shows these differences. Both have the sleeved 1st gear and the resultant smaller diameter 1/2 synchro hub spline of 1.20 inches compared to the 67 to 70 draw nut version and 70+ snap ring version which did not have the first gear sleeve and used a larger 1.29 inch spline for the 1/2 hub. The two gear boxes I have are both early wide ratio Cortina boxes pre 1966. The photo above compares the two shafts out of my spare wreckers gearboxes with the old main shaft from my 1968 Elan gear box which currently has a Quaife gearset in it that was installed in the 1990's ![]() I've no experience with Qaife gear sets, but found this thread: It was often the practice to modify the newer style synchro rings to allow the early blocker bars to fit, and to work with the early gearset assemblies.

The synchro rings are just one of several differences snap ring vs. I've rebuilt 6 'boxes - 4 early Cortina types and 2 later ribbed types, and have 2 more and lots of parts waiting for me to get to. i always wanted to get a better idea around the issues of parts interchangeability across the various ages of three rail "2000e" boxes and now is my chance Rohan Rgh0 wrote: The differences in synchro hubs versions is not clear and something I will need to research once I get my 2 old gear boxes fully to bits to understand what is compatible or not with the Quaife gear sets.

Yes I need to reuse synchro hubs / change rods and forks from my old boxes to use with the new Quaife gear sets which come with new shafts and all other gear bits needed. Thanks for confirming the Mk1 cortina versus Mk2 cortina bellhousing and thus gearbox as i had suspected it was that based on the pilot bearing spigot diameter difference I'm not 100% sure if they are interchangeable. Main shafts and synchro hubs for example are also different. The later box has quite a few internal improvements compared to the earlier box. The ribbed box is the Mk2 Cortina 2000E type box. 2cams70 wrote:The non ribbed box is Mk1 Cortina. ![]() It is unique in its’ use of multi-dimensional characters and rhythm-based obstacles to reel the player in.
