![]() Except, for three days here, there was no cool air. The same fans perched on an open windowsill can blow in the cool air after the sun goes down. ![]() #Seattle unherd skinTwo strategically stationed box fans create a small tempest, swooshing the parched, artificial wind across the skin in multiple directions. The placement of fans becomes its own kind of science. Or, the only endurable variety, and it’s barely even that: air pushed around by a fan. Then, beginning on Saturday, June 26th, the region surpassed that figure for three straight days, breaking the all-time record on Sunday, June 27th, at a hundred and four degrees, and obliterating that new record a day later, at a hundred and eight.Īnd so, window blinds down, Seattle residents endured varieties of heat: the still, hot air that sits in the dark bedroom corner like an apparition the diffuse heat that strikes every part of the body and never lets up the penetrating heat that holds you by the throat. Seattle had clocked temperatures above a hundred degrees only three times in the history of recording temperatures here, which began in the late eighteen-hundreds. In the verdant, cloud-covered upper-left corner of the U.S., it’s not uncommon for temperatures to stay in the sixties through much of June or even July-or for Seattleites to feel completely robbed of summer altogether, the skies a slate gray seemingly all season long.Ī heat wave like the one tormenting the Northwest right now upends all that. because, until a few years ago, we rarely needed it. ![]() Here in Seattle, which hit a hundred and eight degrees on Monday night-the highest local temperature on record-and where a majority of residents don’t have air-conditioning, box fans are the only defense that most of us have. What I mean is a sort of personal thermodynamics-a study in the varieties of heat conspired against you, and how that heat can be tamed or not (mostly not) with a fan. Maybe not thermodynamics, exactly no physicist is going to applaud the lessons here. Oliver talks to Iris Smyles about her new book Droll Tales, the work of writing, the consistency of the Red Lobster, the artistic compromises made by Sylvester Stallone, and the emptiness of phrases like "I hate writing, but I love having written." They also discuss identity and representation in literature, "cancelling" great writers for one reason or another, and other topics.You can learn a lot about thermodynamics while sitting indoors without air-conditioning on a hundred-plus-degree day.

Would she have approached fame differently had social media platforms such as IG, TikTok, and the like existed? And most importantly, why do people keep telling Oliver to read his own articles and listen to this podcast? Oliver talks to long-time friend and veteran Brain Candy Podcast host Susie Meister about life twenty years after her MTV debut on Road Rules in 1998. ![]() While running against incumbent Harrison Schmitt, who was and still is the most recent person to have walked on the moon, Bingaman utilized the campaign slogan "What on Earth has he done for you lately?" in the course of drawing attention to Schmitt's seeming neglect of local matters. One topic not discussed during this interview was Bingaman's exceptional 1982 campaign. Some of the sections, like the one concerning Bingaman's critical role in the passage of the Affordable Care Act, are extremely detailed and should prove useful to political scientists, historians, and others looking for primary sources related to these topics. Senator Bingaman's new book Breakdown: Lessons for a Congress in Crisis offers an insightful, first-hand analysis of the causes and consequences of the dysfunction in Congress. They discuss the debt ceiling, successful instances of past bipartisan cooperation, the war in Iraq, industrial policy, energy policy, and much more.

However, under Regulation CC § 229.30, as amended, both electronic checks and electronic returned checks are subject to subpart C, except where “paper check” or “paper returned check” is specified. Generally, Regulation CC, subpart C, presently presumes the forward collection and return of paper checks. Presently, Regulation CC, subpart C, applies only to paper checks. An “electronic check” and an “electronic returned check” mean an electronic image of, and electronic information derived from, a paper check or a paper returned check. The new indemnities and warranties are based in part on new definitions of “electronic check” and “electronic returned check” in Regulation CC § 229.2(ggg) for purposes of Regulation CC, subpart C, dealing with the forward collection and return of checks as both paper and electronic checks and electronic returned checks. Effective July 1, 2018, recent changes to Regulation CC provide new warranty and indemnity rights, liabilities, and obligations potentially impacting a bank, particularly a bank providing a remote deposit capture (RDC) service, including a mobile RDC service, in its role as a depository bank. To mitigate and to spread these risks, amending a deposit account agreement to strengthen a customer’s indemnity obligations to the bank may be in order.īackground. ![]() New warranty and indemnity rights, liabilities, and obligations under recent changes to Regulation CC could amplify the operational risks a bank faces. ![]() ![]() This will be a great help towards the effort of polishing out the game.

McCormack defines as the ‘Victorian picaresque – an apparently shapeless quest by the hero through unfamiliar and yet entertaining landscapes and incidents which never threaten real violence or any real offence to moral decorum’ ( Ascendancy and tradition in Anglo-Irish literary history from 1789 to 1939 (1985), 199). Lever's chosen genre, especially in these early works, was an innocuous version of what W. Lever's career as a novelist thus began in 1836, when he started writing The confessions of Harry Lorrequer (1839) for serial publication in the Dublin University Magazine this was soon followed by Charles O'Malley (1840) and Jack Hinton (1843). Although he was modestly successful at Portstewart, his growing family, ostentatious lifestyle, and gambling debts led him to seek increased remuneration through a change of venue (1837) from Ireland to Brussels, where he set up a more lucrative medical practice for English expatriates, as well as through various literary endeavours. The turbulence and unsettledness evident in this basic outline of Lever's early life would influence both the form and subject matter of his literary works. Before departing for Portstewart, Lever married (16 November 1831) his childhood sweetheart Kate Baker, with whom he had three children: Julia (b. Londonderry, where he remained for five years. During the cholera epidemic of 1832 Lever was employed as a dispensary doctor at Kilrush, Co. After a period of travel in Holland and Germany in 1828, where he studied medicine at Göttingen, as well as a trip to Canada either in 1824 (Fitzpatrick) or 1829 (Downey, Stevenson), Lever returned to Dublin to pursue further medical study at the Royal College of Surgeons and TCD, although he failed his medical exams once (1830) before obtaining an MB from Trinity in 1831. He entered TCD (1822) and obtained a BA (1827). From the age of three, Charles attended various academies in Dublin, and biographers agree that he was a lively and precocious child who was much inclined to pranks. (1806–72), novelist, was born 31 August 1806 in Dublin, younger of two sons of James Lever, a contract builder from Lancashire who worked on the Custom House and Maynooth College, and Julie Lever (née Chandler), also of English descent, who was from Kilkenny. ![]() ![]() To completely uninstall a program on MacBook/iMac, you have to choose one of the options on below.
