Turtles within Michigan typically are found in a variety of aquatic environments, while some, such as the Eastern Box Turtle, also are at home in upland terrestrial habitats. Michigan is home to one of the largest turtle species (Spiny Softshell Turtle) and one of the smallest species (Spotted Turtle) found in the United States. There are over 350 species of turtles and tortoises worldwide with 10 species native to Michigan. Some species can even live to be over 100 years old. The turtle's shell is part of their skeletal structure and can be used as a defense against predators. The shells of chelonians are comprised of scutes made up of keratin, the same material found in hair and nails. Chelonians are characterized by their tough shells which are divided by an upper and lower half called the carapace and plastron, respectively. Turtles and tortoises, collectively referred to as chelonians, represent an order of reptiles that have remained largely unchanged for the past 250 million years. Frogs and toads have permeable skin, and although they do have lungs, much of their respiration occurs through the skin. The larvae of many species are dependent on fishless habitats to develop an absence of predators allows the larvae to fully metamorphose into adults. Eggs are laid in water bodies and the aquatic larvae - known as tadpoles - develop and metamorphose in the water that they hatch into. Each species uses a unique call to attract mates throughout the breeding season. ![]() Worldwide there are over 6,500 species of frogs and toads thirteen species call Michigan home, with several species found throughout the state. Frogs and toads have adapted to a range of landscapes and environments spanning from desert to fully aquatic and can be found on every continent with the exception of Antarctica. They are characterized by lack of tails and have limbs adapted for jumping, swimming, burrowing, and climbing. Frogs and toads are a diverse and environmentally sensitive order of amphibians. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() What does summer mean and where does it come from? Where does the word solstice come from? It involved a ceremony in which an Inca priest would “tie” the sun to a column stone in a symbolic effort to keep it from escaping. In the days of the Incan Empire, the winter solstice (in June in the Southern Hemisphere) was honored with Inti Raymi, or Festival of the Sun. Also known as yule, this festive period is considered one of the oldest celebrations of wintertime in the world. Even in ancient times, Germanic peoples celebrated a 12-day festival to mark the winter solstice. The winter solstice corresponds with some major cultural observances, including Christmas. The summer solstice results in the longest day of the year (sometimes called midsummer), meaning it has the most time of daylight, and the winter solstice results in the shortest day of the year, meaning it has the longest period of darkness. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite. In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice occurs in June and the winter solstice occurs in December. But which season begins with each solstice depends on which hemisphere you’re in. The solstices are traditionally considered to mark the start of summer and winter. Technically speaking, a solstice is one of the two the exact moments in the year when the sun reaches its northernmost point (around June 21, when the North Pole tilts closest to the sun) or southernmost point (around December 22, during the winter solstice) from Earth’s equator. ![]() The word equinox comes from the Latin aequinoctium, meaning “the time of equal days and nights,” from equi-, meaning “equal,” and nocti-, meaning “night.” What is a solstice?Ī solstice is one of the two times of the year when the positioning and tilt of Earth relative to the sun results in the most amount of daylight time or the least amount of daylight time in a single day. The word equinox can also refer to the position of the sun at this moment. Technically speaking, an equinox is one of the two specific moments in time when the sun is exactly above the celestial equator. For this reason, the terms March equinox and September equinox are sometimes used to avoid a Northern Hemisphere bias.Ĭontrary to popular usage, an equinox doesn’t last for a full 24 hours. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the reverse. The autumnal equinox occurs around September 22 or 23, when the sun crosses the celestial equator going south. In the Northern Hemisphere, the spring equinox, or vernal equinox, occurs around March 21, when the sun moves northward across the celestial equator. The two equinoxes occur around March 20–21 and September 22–23, marking the onset of both spring and autumn.ĭuring the equinox, the sun crosses the plane of Earth’s equator, making nighttime and daytime (roughly) equal length all over the world. What is an equinox?Īn equinox is one of the two times of the year when the amount of daylight and nighttime hours are just about of equal length. Solstices mark the start of summer and winter. A solstice is one of the two times of the year resulting in the most amount of daylight time or the least amount of daylight time in a single day. The vernal equinox marks the start of spring, and the autumnal equinox marks the start of fall. An equinox is one of the two times of the year when the amount of daylight and nighttime hours are just about of equal length. ![]() ![]() ![]() The song is a great tool for parents and educators looking to introduce geometry to children in a fun and engaging way. The use of repetition and visual aids helps reinforce the concepts and makes them easier to remember for young learners. Through catchy lyrics and colorful visuals, the song introduces different types of polygons, their names, and their properties. The “Polygons Song for Kids” by NUMBEROCK is a fun and educational song that teaches children about polygons. When children step, step, step, stop responding to the music or ta, ta, ta, rest with rhythm. Music gives children the opportunity to experience patterns through movement, listening, and playing instruments.

Engage your preschooler’s gross motor skills. “Let’s Count 1 to 20” by Dream English Kid ![]() ![]() ![]() My first dimension that I used in the video was a width of 21mm. The reason for this is that the distance between the smaller rectangles and the outside edge is really small using my first dimension. So instead of using a width of 23mm, try to go a little bigger. One more suggestion would be in making the second arm wider. The razor blade cuts it more precisely and helps from cutting towards the outer edge of the arm. Using a pair of scissors can be hard to cut them out. The only suggestion I have here is when it comes to cutting out the smaller rectangles in the second arm you should use a razor blade. ![]() Once you have drawn the arms out on the cardboard, you can use the pair of scissors to cut them out. The other 3 edges can be any length that you would like or any shape. The width of the third arm at the bottom is 22mm while the height of the left and right side of the arm is 33mm. The final arm has only two important dimensions. Just make sure you have the inner rectangles centered. So probably an overall wider width for arm 2 can help with that. One thing that I have noticed was that the dimensions marked by red arrows were pretty thin that sometimes the arm would bend. Red arrows mean a distance of 5mm while the green arrows mean a distance of 9mm. These distances can be seen by the arrows and their color. It will also be 9mm apart from the bottom and the top edge. The edges of these cuts will be 5mm away from the outer edge of the entire arm on the left and right. Each inner cut is 13mm wide with a height of 23.45mm. The second arm in the middle with the two rectangular cuts inside of it will hold two servos. This has a height of 90mm with a width of 23mm. The dimensions of the three arms can be seen below in the drawings. Now it is time to draw out the arms on a piece of cardboard that you can find around. Hot Glue Gun or any other means to glue/hold parts together.But if you get them together with the breadboard it will help you with costs and time.įor this project you will need the following tools: Jumper Cables/Wires - You will also need some jumper cables/wires to make connections between the Arduino and the breadboard.

The only downside is that it's coming from China. The following link is actually for a breadboard that comes with jumper wires. RadioShack sells them but the price could be much higher. But you could probably find a cheap one on eBay. The following link is for 5 servos in the US:Ī Breadboard - The breadboard used in this project was actually bought at my school for $5. ![]() Just be aware that if you order from China, shipping may take a while. Here are some potentiometers at the following link on eBay:ģ Micro Servos (SG90) - These servos can also be found on eBay for fairly low prices. Just make sure you get linear potentiometers and not a log type. The ones I used were 22k but 10k potentiometers seem to be cheaper. Any type of potentiometers with at least 3 prongs should be able to work. Shop around to find cheap prices for them. You can buy a clone at the following link for about $15:ģ 10k Potentiometers - This can be found anywhere such as Amazon, eBay, and Adafruit. The following parts are necessary to complete this project:Īn Arduino Uno - The Uno can be a genuine Uno or to lower costs you can obtain an Arduino clone that works the same way.

![]() Probably something that could not have been avoided, but know the power cable is like a small brick. The zoom and focus knobs are hidden under a slide-out hood right above the lens, and I liked how LG incorporates the concealment, perhaps a minor detail but underscores such considerations. Unlike some projectors that have a gently curved chassis, this one has sharp edges and corners, and a matte finish, with the lens slightly off-center. The HU710PW worked out well and even looks nice out in the open if it can’t be ceiling mounted. I’ve evaluated projectors of all shapes and sizes, and some fit better in my home theater setup than others. For installation purposes, integrators should know the chassis is rectangular but deeper than it is wide (it’s 10.2 x 4.8 x 15.3 inches W x H x D, and just over 14 pounds).

The Everyday i have the same issue with both the getting out app and the getting out visits app. Now I’m walking through creepy confusing-ass suburbs.

As most of you out there can assume, or you straight up know by this point, I am a big Actor turned filmmaker Jordan Peele says he will "seriously consider" making a sequel to his horror/thriller hit Get Out, adding that he thinks there's "more story to tell" in that world. ![]() Luca has been praised by critics, evidenced by a "Certified Fresh" Rotten Tomatoes score. Not to mention enough cryptic symbols, pop-culture references and Get out right now! There's something stronger than me. For example, Get off is (formally) exiting a public transport as in. I constantly have to … Sadly, Get Out is not currently on Netflix US. We know that knives Out 2 isn’t a continuation of the first film, so that means we won’t be seeing Marta and the douchey Thrombey family again.

I made a root password while putting it into developer mode, but that password did not work in the crosh prompt (Ctrl + Alt + t). bashrc and get access the next time the user gets sudo with a password that the attacker doesn't need to know.Took me a while to find all the relevant information on this page, but I was able to figure it out. If they already have access to the private key, they could do some nasty things to. An attacker would need both the email and the user's private key to be successful. If you still wanted to have passwords, you could e-mail them in clear, but require them to be changed the first time they get used. It still gives people the feeling "now I change the system", but it doesn't have annoying passwords. My advice would be to have NOPASSWORD and be happy with it. ![]() This enables every such process to run sudo which is precisely what the NOPASSWORD parameter does. Then however its a bit pointless to use it, as then every (non-cgrouped) process running under the user's account could use the agent to execute commands as root. Pam_ssh_agent_auth requires ssh-agent forwarding in order to work over ssh. Is there some security caveat I'm missing why this is not more widely sudo has some advantages with its fine-grained control, but to rely on its logging capabilities, you would need to set up remote logging, as otherwise people with root access can falsify past logs. For servers however, most tasks will already require sudo, so both points get weak. The purpose of sudo is to give accounts that are logged in some separation between untrusted applications and admin-like tasks, and make users aware they are changing the system (and have to watch out). If people log in, and they have root access (through some mechanism), they usually do maintaining tasks, where they will use sudo for >90% of the time. In my opinion, sudo for server admins is a bit overkill. provide the user with the private key (or create a script that simply SSH in over the loopback interface to the privileged account using the private key)įor example, if the privileged account is r_service (created with useradd -om -u0 -g0 -d /root/service -s /bin/bash r_service) the call to that privileged command from a non-privileged account would be something like: $ ssh -i ~/.ssh/privileged_command way you will grant your users to execute that privileged command without compromising the security model.install that public key to privileged account's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.Note that the key should be separated from this header by a space character. prepend the public part with the following: from="127.0.0.1",command="your_desired_command_here",no-pty,no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding (you can also restrict the SSH session further, see "man sshd"). ![]() Re: the original question - if you need some privileged command to be executed by non-privileged users you may use the following trick: I wrote an article on the sudo (mis)usage if you are interested to learn more on the topic: I suggest to avoid even installing sudo on your systems: it's an additional attack vector with usually no justification for having it. Why is this module or similar process is not part of standard Linux distro configs? Is there some security caveat I'm missing why this is not more widely adopted? Why passworded sudo is considered to be more secure than public/private key sudo? It seems like with this module in place we can have completely passwordless accounts. While doing some research on this topic I found pam_ssh_agent_auth project, which from my understanding enables the same private/public key authentication as used for ssh connections but for sudo command. I would still want some sort of authentication before users can run sudo commands. I know about sudoers file and NOPASSWORD parameter. That means I still need to generate passwords for these users and figure out how to securely get it to them. However, this process becomes useless when these users need to run sudo - the server is still asking for their passwords. This is great because when I create accounts for remote users I don't have to email them sensitive info(passwords).
