Representatives from Ashley promising a return call, without intention of doing so.ĬonsumerAffairs is not a government agency. Representatives from Protect All, refusing to escalate or transfer your call. The individuals I have spoken with on the phone have been as equally cold as their emails. I’ve also tried to contact Ashley HomeStore several times in an effort to get it fixed under their mechanism warranty, which should have been good for 3 years, to no avail. It was a cold email, denying our claim, stating that the reason they wouldn’t help was because we “removed the mechanism.”ĭespite getting clearance from the representative on the night it occurred, this is their reason for not honoring the warranty we purchased. The next contact received was over a week and a half later and it was not a phone call. During the video consultation, the representative apologized and said that the next phone call we would be receiving would be within a week from a technician to schedule a time to come out and repair the couch. Protect All scheduled a video consultation a week or so later. The couch being stuck in the upright position would have posed a safety risk to our family and the weight, undoubtedly, would’ve caused more damage to the cheap metal used to manufacture it. It is in Protect All’s warranty information that if we ‘do not protect the furniture from further damage,’ the furniture will not be covered by warranty and the representative was in agreement.

On the left is the resistor everybody is talking about! The resistor goes between GND and A0 (or any analog pin you like) and the thermistor goes between the same analog pin (A0) and 5V. On the right side you see the thermistor with just 2 connections. You also connect A0 to Ground with a 10K resistor.Īaaa, got it, so I'm splitting ground with resistor, so it goes like this: One wire from your thermistor goes to +5. I'm learning so much from this, really thank you all for your replies. To be honest, best way would be somehow get temperature of cpu from the motherboard itself - there are many cpu temp software that have this info - how easy would be to get it and use/send to Arduino? If the thermistor says it's 10K, what does it actually mean? Isn't that 10K Ohm, so it already has a resistor? WOuld I still need to solder resistor to one like this? First I need to put together this thermistor, I hope I won't kill any of the items plugging the one I have to it. I found this code here on this forum - not sure if this is gonna work. Thank you, it sounds like the thing I should do now. Then map the analog values into temperatures, of the desired scale (C/F/R/K), convert it into digits, and send them to the nixies. Now you're ready to read the voltage, using analogRead(), and output by Serial.print(). ![]() Connect it to Vcc and Gnd, and the center tap to an analog input. You have to add an resistor to your thermistor, to form a half bridge. Should I build a remake of that calculator now, using an Arduino?īut back to your problem. I used nixie tubes for my first computer, 50 years ago, driven by relays because no transistor supported the high voltage at that time, and a phone dial plate to enter digits. and how did you come up with that I don't use tubes?Īll works fine, tried few simple codes like blinking tubes, counting down etc.Ī nice module, the backlight idea is great ![]() Game rules: Post links to each piece of hardware - and specify which Arduino (though one would suspect, a UNO) - you are proposing to use. So you clearly are not using Nixie tubes. that requires somewhere around 70 volts and a current limiting resistor to operate. NIXI tubes use ionized neon gas to make the lighted character display. I know that this can be plugged to arduino easily with two pins.Ĭouldn't find anything like that, but maybe someone already tried this and have a simple code I could use? I have one old thermistor, I believe it's 10K, I used it ages ago, that looks like this: Now, what is left is to get thermistor sticked to cpu cooler radiator and plug it to arduino, then write a code that reads temps and passes to nixie modules. ![]() I have installed everything, added nixie module library, connected my arduino to pc via USB cable, connected nixie tube modules to it and I'm running simple code I found on Nixie modules website that changes numbers and background color. Now, please forgive me but I have NO experience in programming and electronics, so this is almost impossible to do this by myself, that is why I'm asking you guys for help I have purchased everything I need - Arduino, nixie tubes, nixie modules v2.0 and wires. I would like to have a simple 2 nixie tube CPU temperature display mounted in my computer. I have just started my "adventure" with Arduino:) ![]() Ted, United, like any other commercial or governmental set up, has to adjust to the wants, needs, and rights of autistic child passengers travelling on the mass transit systems they have as much right as you to travel on. But the family somehow thinks United could have done more: I’m just not sure what that is, beyond displaying empathy for what was a very difficult situation. Carnival Cruise Line came through, transporting the two safety back to Florida. CONCLUSIONĪfter a teenager had an autistic incident onboard a United flight from Aruba to Newark, the teen and his mother were forced to find a different way back to New York. What policies have to change? Whether invisible or visible, United or any airline is not going to transport a passenger who is uncontrollably screaming or hitting others. Furthermore, it was the family who determined Elijah could not fly.Īs delicate as this situation is, I think asking United to arrange alternate transportation is a bit much. Perhaps United could have offered to let the family try again the next day, but the screaming and thrashing and hitting becomes a safety risk not only to the family but to others onboard. It’s not like United or any other carrier banned them. She wished United would have presented an alternate plan to return them home rather than leaving them to fend for themselves.īut what was United supposed to do? The family very clearly recognized that Elijah could not fly. Invisible disabilities include autism, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, ADHD, strokes and other mental health challenges.” “Airlines should treat invisible disabilities the same way they treat visible disabilities. I understand that airlines must follow safety protocols, but something like this should have never happened. Happy ending, right? But the family is not happy. ![]() ![]() In cooperation with KultureCity, a non-profit organization that promotes inclusion and acceptance for those with invisible disabilities, Carnival arranged for a ship enroute to Miami to divert to Aruba to pick up Elijah and his mother.įrom Miami, the two drove north to New Jersey. Eventually, three of the five family members returned to New Jersey (the kids had to get back to school), leaving behind Elijah and his mother.ĭays later, an employee at Carnival Cruise Line stumbled upon the family’s plight, which they posted about on Facebook, and reached out. ![]() They reached out to a medical evacuation company, which refused to help. The family determined that Elijah could not go back on this flight or any other flight, fearing it would trigger another episode. The medicine did not work: there was no change in his behavior. The family complied, but also gave Elijah medication prescribed by their doctor for use if he became agitated. Something caused him to be overwhelmed, and he began to hit Jamie and me and continued screaming.”įlight attendants asked the family, citing the determination of the captain, to exit the aircraft. He refused to sit, and Jamie and I had to hold him down. “I gave him gentle nudge and we made it to our seats, then he lost control. He stopped at the aircraft and door and screamed “toilet.” His mother told NJ.com: 15-year-old Elijah, who has autism, had a “sensory episode” while boarding. A family of five was boarding a United Airlines flight from Aruba (AUA) to Newark (EWR). Just what was United Airlines supposed to do when an autistic teenager had a meltdown on a flight from Aruba to Newark? Family Upset After United Airlines Removes Autistic Teenager From Aruba Flight Here’s a tough story that requires our compassion but at the same time some discernment. ![]() You can start sketching using different pen tips with adjustable sizes, opacity levels and colors.

I could go on about this story for days but in the interest of keeping your interest, I’ll end it here □ I recommend you give this story a chance. The constant clash between past and makes us wonder if past and present can ever co-exist or if we must choose one or the other? What do ye think?… These little incidents dotted throughout the story help to form Fuentes’ crtique of Modern Mexican society. He describes how Filbierto’s colleagues mock him for his obsession with Pre-Hispanic art. He describes how the merchant who sold Filbierto the Chac Mool put ketchup on it’s belly to trick tourists into buying it, thus making a mockery of its original purpose. He describes the “country Clubs” perpetrated by the wealthy ‘mexicanas modernas’ and the foreignization of Mexico.īy mixing these descriptions of past and present Fuentes eloquently paints a picture of a modern Mexico with no respect for it’s history. He describes the shift from indigenous religions to Christianity. He contrasts these aspects of indigenous Mexico with descriptions of Mexico post Spanish colonization.

The creature enslaves Filbierto in his own home and torments him until one night Filbierto escapes to Acapulco where he drowns soon after.īack in the present day, Filiberto’s friend arrives at his house with his body. Then, the weirdest thing of all, the ChacMool starts transforming from stone to flesh. The water pipes in his house mysteriously burst, rainwater starts to seep in from outside flooding his home, he starts to hear inexplicable howling in the dead of night. Soon after lots of weird things start to happen. The story flips between past and present as the friend reads Filibiertos diary and tries to understand what happened to him.Īs the story progresses we learn that Filbierto is obsessed with indigenous Mexican art. His friend comes to collect his body and possessions and discovers his diary. The protagonist, Filibierto, drowns at the beginning of the story. What happens in Chac Mool?Ĭhac Mool is a short story from Fuentes’ book, Los días enmascarados (1954). ![]() ![]() Usually made out of stone in the form of a man with a bowl on his belly or chest, the Chac Mool was used as a place to make sacrificial offerings to the Gods.

Saroo and his elder brothers, Guddu and Kallu, began begging at the local railway station and market for food and money, and Saroo was sent by his mother with a bowl to ask neighbors for leftovers. ![]() His mother, who chose not to petition for a divorce although she legally could have done so, worked in construction to support herself and her children but often did not make enough money to feed them all, and could not afford to send them to school. When Saroo was around three years old, his father abandoned the family after taking a second wife, throwing the family into poverty. His father worked as a building contractor. His mother was a Hindu of the Rajput caste and his father was a Muslim. Saroo Brierley was born Sheru Munshi Khan in Ganesh Talai, a suburb within Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. His story generated significant international media attention, especially in Australia and India.Īn autobiographical account of his experiences, A Long Way Home, was published in 2013 in Australia, released internationally in 2014, and adapted into the 2016 Oscar-nominated film Lion, starring Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel as Saroo, David Wenham as his adoptive father John Brierley, and Nicole Kidman as his adoptive mother Sue Brierley. ![]() He was adopted out of India by an Australian couple but was reunited with his original family 25 years later after finding his hometown via Google Earth. 1981) is an Indian-born Australian businessman and author who, at the age of five, was accidentally separated from his biological family.

It was also interesting to discover the secret behind the title of the book, but I'm not revealing anything here! Many thanks to the publishers for my review copy. His story is one that will stay with the reader long after the final page. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Saroo's life and journey as well as learning about the sad plight of street children in India. Quite rightly, the story has been made into a motion picture and now I have read the book, I'm keen to go and see it on the big screen. The book conveys his emotions perfectly and readers may need a pack of tissues on hand as it reaches its conclusion. We really feel as though we are with him along every step of his breathtaking journey. The story is a fascinating and engaging one and Saroo is an excellent narrator. With the help of his friends and the advent of Google Earth technology, Saroo could begin the task of following endless railway tracks on his computer screen, a task that would take him many frustrating years to complete. Local landmarks, like the water tower and overpass provided further clues. He could also estimate how far he had travelled based on the average speed of a train and the length of time on board. For example, he knew that his home town had a small railway station. Piecing together fragments of information, he was able to discover clues to his origins. Lion is the true story of Saroo's tireless, obsessive search for the town where he grew up and his lost family. Soon he was found by the authorities and adopted by a family in Australia, where he spent most of his life trying to piece together his fragmented memories of his origins. ![]() After a long journey, the train finally pulled into Kolkata station, leaving the five-year-old child alone and terrified. ![]() The thrill soon turned to fear when the pair became separated and Saroo found himself trapped on a moving train. One fateful day, young Saroo begged his older brother Guddu to take him along on an adventure. The children lived an almost feral existence, disappearing for days, exploring the local area for food and job opportunities. Saroo was born in India, where his single mother had to work hard to feed him and his three siblings. He has a job, a girlfriend, a good social life and a supportive family, but his life could have turned out very differently. At first glance, Saroo Brierley seems to be a normal, well adjusted Australian man. ![]() As part of the acquisition, Paramount purchased the parks owned by Kings: Great America, Kings Dominion, Carowinds, and a 20% stake in Canada's Wonderland in addition, Paramount would acquire Kings Island, which was operated by Kings for its owner, American Financial Corporation. The company acquired Kings Entertainment for $400 million on July 31, 1992, and created Paramount Parks. Three years later, Paramount Communications (formerly Gulf+Western), the owners of Paramount Pictures, sought to join other entertainment companies as a theme park owner. In the agreement, the city would earn 5% of all revenue that exceeds $56 million. In 1989, the city sold the park to Kings Entertainment, while retaining ownership of the land that the park occupied. Kings Entertainment Company, who owned and operated other amusement parks, was hired in 1985 to manage Great America for the city. Caz Development settled and was allowed to build a hotel and office near the park, which the city renamed Great America. The city acquired the park for $93.5 million from Marriott, which retained 20 acres (8.1 ha) from the sale for development. All parties were able to agree on a compromise, which was signed in marathon sessions taking place in early June 1985. After Marriott refunded a $20 million down payment back to the city, negotiations were restarted. Unable to broker a timely agreement, the city council voted 6–1 to scuttle the sale on February 5, 1985, though the city was still interested in owning the park. ![]() ![]() The court nullified the sale, forcing the city to attempt to salvage the deal through negotiations with the other parties. Caz Development then sued the city and Marriott in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County to block the transaction. The citywide vote passed, approving the sale by a margin of 3 to 1. Fearing homebuilding on the land by Caz Development would lower home values of existing homeowners, the city council approved a $101 million purchasing agreement on January 31, 1984, by a 4–3 vote that also had to be approved by city residents. Marriott also involved the city of Santa Clara in negotiations, which was already leasing 55 acres (22 ha) of parking space for the amusement park. An interested party, Caz Development Co., appraised the land value at US$800,000 to $1 million per acre. The park, though profitable, was still an earnings disappointment for Marriott, leading the company in 1983 to explore options to sell. View of California's Great America from above A third park was initially planned for the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area, but the idea was later abandoned after several failed attempts to sway local opposition. Less than two months later, on May 29, the company opened a second Marriott's Great America – later known as Six Flags Great America – north of Chicago in Gurnee, Illinois. Admission was US$7.95 (equivalent to $41 in 2022) for adults (12 and up) and US$6.95 (equivalent to $36 in 2022) for children (4–11). The hotel and restaurant operator Marriott Corporation completed Marriott's Great America on the site of what had been a pear orchard and opened it to the public on March 20, 1976. While Cedar Fair plans to eventually close the park by 2033, the land rental agreement is a six-year lease through 2028 that gives Prologis the option of extending it another five years. Santa Clara eventually sold the land occupied by the park to Cedar Fair in 2019, who then sold it to Prologis in 2022. Paramount Parks acquired the park in 1992, followed by Cedar Fair in 2006. It was then sold to Kings Entertainment Company in 1989 while Santa Clara retained ownership of the land. Ownership of the park transitioned several times, beginning with the city of Santa Clara's acquisition from Marriott in 1985. The park appeared in the 1994 films Beverly Hills Cop III and Getting Even with Dad. Other notable rides include RailBlazer, a single-rail coaster from Rocky Mountain Construction, and Flight Deck, an inverted coaster from Bolliger & Mabillard. California's Great America features over 40 rides and attractions, and one of its most notable is Gold Striker, which has been featured as a top-ranked wooden roller coaster in Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards publication. Owned and operated by Cedar Fair, it originally opened in 1976 as one of two parks built by the Marriott Corporation. |
