Yes, there is, but it’s a bit more complicated. So what to do? Why don’t I just distribute the extension separately? Well, there’s another hiccup – Chrome will not load extensions that are not on the Chrome Store and this can’t be bypassed. All you can find on the Chrome Store now are extensions that include a disclaimer in their description that they do not support YouTube.

This spot is so needlessly complicated:Ģ. Atlantis – Leading off with one more bizarre than lazy, Atlantis was a shooting game where you were the bases of the Atlantean colony, warding off an attack by the Gorgons.

The approach appears to complement other approaches, including the School Holiday Enrichment Programme. The evaluation identified additional benefits of the pilot too, such as children drinking more water, exercising more, trying new activities, and having fun.įunding the addition, extension or improvement of food at existing playwork provision to children at risk of holiday hunger appears to be a cost effective approach to tackling holiday hunger. A third of parents of children attending the pilot that were surveyed said the pilot had helped with costs, and specifically with the cost of food during the holidays. Over half said they tried new foods, and nearly one in four children said they ate more fruit and vegetables. Its instruction is gentle, with no scoring or goal to reach. Nearly half of children that completed surveys at the settings said they felt less hungry attending the pilot. Playwords is a visually attractive app that helps kids learn to read and spell a variety of words. The pilot facilitated the provision of more than 13,000 meals across 98 sites, during the Summer and October half term holidays.

Ford's 1984 Star Trek novel The Final Reflection, and appears in other Star Trek novels by Ford. Klingon is sometimes referred to as Klingonese (most notably in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode " The Trouble with Tribbles", where it was actually pronounced by a Klingon character as "Klingonee" / ˈ k l ɪ ŋ ɡ ɒ n i/), but among the Klingon-speaking community, this is often understood to refer to another Klingon language called Klingonaase that was introduced in John M. Klingon was subsequently developed by Okrand into a full-fledged language. In all previous appearances, Klingons spoke in English, even to each other. That film marked the first time the language had been heard. The language's basic sound, along with a few words, was devised by actor James Doohan (" Scotty") and producer Jon Povill for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The Klingon language (Klingon: tlhIngan Hol, pIqaD: , pronounced ) is the constructed language spoken by a fictional alien race called the Klingons, in the Star Trek universe.ĭescribed in the 1985 book The Klingon Dictionary by Marc Okrand and deliberately designed to sound "alien", it has a number of typologically uncommon features.

Hawks also rely on thermals and updrafts along ridges during long migrations, as they float for many miles through the sky. Riding thermals is an energy-efficient way for soaring hawks to search for prey. As the Red-tail reaches a desired altitude, it slides off the thermal and, gliding lower, finds another thermal to ride upward. Slots between the long feathers at the hawk’s wingtips deflect drag. ![]() As the warm air expands upward, the hawk floats skyward, periodically circling to stay within the column of air. ![]() The Red-tailed Hawk is riding a thermal, a column of warm rising air generated near the earth’s surface by heat from the sun. This is the hawk you’re most likely to see in the Lower 48 and the one that was “makin’ lazy circles in the sky” in the musical Oklahoma. Without flapping, it traces a leisurely, rising circle. A Red-tailed Hawk soars above a roadway on broad, rounded wings, the epitome of effortless flight. |
