Probably not…īackpackers’ law states if there is space in your pack it will be filled! In other words, if you’re traveling with an 85-liter backpack, you WILL end up packing it full and preceding to lug it around every train, bus, and tuk-tuk that you board. Again, this varies by airline, but most international flights are more lenient (unless you’re flying with Ryan Air). Not doing any of those things? Then stick to a carry on backpack! Traveling with a carry on backpack means you get to avoid check-in fees and baggage carousels at busy airports.Īlthough size limitations vary from airline to airline, generally, any backpack under 45-liters will be carry on compliant. Sometimes, you have to travel with something bigger, like if you are camping, traveling with tons of photography gear, leading a tour in Pakistan, or heading north for the winter.

Sara went to the lobby to complain to security guard Shamoka Furman. They heard banging noises from above and a boom-boom-boom sequence, “like someone was moving furniture or hammering picture hangers into the walls,” Nir said. Gabe was cooking salmon, Chana was in the shower after a babysitting job and Sara was typing on her cell phone. On the night of the collapse, Nir, his mother Sara and his sister Chana were awake inside unit 111, right next to the pool deck. I stay up at night to make sure we’re safe.” “When Champlain went down, I asked my mom, ‘Is this Round 2?’” Nir said. Nir remembers waking up in the middle of the night, coughing and blinded by smoke. Five years ago their house in Atlanta caught fire and burned to the ground. Survival comes with a high price.”ĭepression, anxiety, insomnia, guilt, post-traumatic stress disorder, headaches, flashbacks - especially when he enters buildings or elevators: The Champlain South survivors will never be the same. It infuriates me when people say we’re a miracle family. “Well-meaning people tell us we should be thankful we’re alive and assume after two years we’ve recovered,” Nir said. When one of them says, “I’ll see you at home,” it sounds strange, false. They’ve lost any sense of home, what it means to be home. They’re still living out of suitcases, filled with the clothes they’ve acquired since they lost everything. The Nirs have lived like nomads in hotels, apartments and now a rented house in Aventura, sometimes pushed out of their temporary quarters by rental rates that are the highest in the country. That feeling of imbalance and disorientation has been exacerbated by all the moving.

They estimated repairs would cost more than $9 million, but those repairs were never completed.Nir, his mother and his sister ran for their lives. Morabito Consultants, a structural engineering firm, was hired by the condo association in 2018 to conduct the inspection and reported, among other things, concrete structural damage to concrete structural slabs on the pool deck due to failed waterproofing. ![]() ![]() The Champlain towers were in the process of recertification when part of the building came crashing down. The way you combat that is with good quality solid weatherproofing and paint and those repairs need to be identified when they happen and repaired in order to maintain the strength and integrity of the building," Peter Dyga, the president and CEO of Associated Builders & Contractors, Florida East Coast Chapter (a national construction industry trade association), told ABC News.Īfter a Miami-area building collapse in 1974, county lawmakers enacted a mandatory inspection for commercial and residential buildings 40 years after they're constructed. ![]() ![]() "The most common problems are weather intrusions.

Infrasound: Sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human hearing. People who work in this field are known as geologists. Geologic: An adjective that refers to things that are related to Earth’s physical structure and substance, its history and the processes that act on it. ![]() It is the opposite of an artificial setting, such as a research laboratory. Also a term to describe a real-world environment in which some research is conducted, such as at sea, in a forest, on a mountaintop or on a city street.

Many hazard assessments are probably underestimating the destructiveness of pyroclastic flows by a lot, Lube says. Sometimes the pulses smashed more than three times as hard as the average pressure estimates. These pulses would successively damage obstacles like blows from a jackhammer, Lube says. This happened as volcanic particles clustered into cascading waves and trains of rolling eddies. To the researchers’ surprise, flow pressures rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern. Analyze This: Can you outrun these geological disasters? They engulfed a set of infrasound sensors. That’s when pyroclastic flows burst from the Whakaari volcano in New Zealand. The researchers also analyzed the first measurements of pressures in natural flows. That let the team calculate pressures inside the flows. These included particle velocities and temperatures. So they reproduced smaller versions of the flows in experiments. Lube and his colleagues wanted to directly study the inner workings of these flows. Those are based on studies of geologic deposits left by past flows. Researchers often have to estimate average obstacle-smashing pressures in the flows. Because these flows are so violent, studying them directly can be hard. That’s due in part to the pressures they generate. Pyroclastic flows are the deadliest volcanic hazard. But, he says, the pressures might be so strong “they knock down the walls of the building.” Explainer: The volcano basics A conventional hazard assessment might suggest a certain flow will only burst windows. He’s a volcanologist at Massey University. “It’s not a small difference,” says Gert Lube. Researchers shared their new finding this past December 15 in Nature Communications. Those pressures can be far stronger, and more destructive, than hazard assessments typically assume. Within these slides, pulses of high pressure form. Those pulses are the result of turbulence, lab and field measurements now show. Known as pyroclastic flows, they may be even more dangerous than scientists had suspected. Avalanches of ash, gas and rock can cascade downhill during volcanic eruptions. While under the leadership of Dante Esquivel, he briefly re-embraces his cruel nature, but ultimately turns on Dante and his men, saving his allies from certain death, demonstrating that he will never harm the innocent again and that he is ready to kill a threat without any hesitation. While at first Daniel considers his family to only be his blood relatives who are the only people that he truly trusts, Daniel has expanded his definition of family over time, adopting those that he's closest to as his family.ĭaniel is extremely cautious around those he does not trust, such as Victor Strand and appears to be highly skilled at identifying a potential threat from body language and social cues. ![]() He subsequently came unhinged for a time and nearly killed himself. Daniel was shown to be devastated by the loss of his beloved wife, the anchor that kept him stable. He hid from her the truth of his past life, and dealt with the trauma privately with his wife's support. Daniel often doesn't directly issue a threat, but does it in such a way that the threat is implied and in such a way that he is usually taken seriously.ĭespite his murderous past, Daniel has demonstrated that he cares about his family more than anything else and is a loving husband and father who vowed to give his daughter the best life possible in the United States. When Daniel embraces this side of himself in a situation, he can become so menacing that he intimidates his enemies simply by speaking to them. Daniel however does not appear to be pleased with the past atrocities he has committed or was forced to commit, and regrets being the monster that he was forced to become. Daniel is also shown to be a skilled torturer with extensive knowledge of interrogation techniques and is willing, albeit reluctantly, to use this skill when he feels it is necessary to survive, as seen when he brutally tortured Andrew Adams. He is highly adept with firearms and hand to hand combat. His training and survival skills have shaped him into a formidable combatant. ![]() ![]() 3.3.3 "Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame"ĭaniel is a highly intelligent, caring, cautious, and formidable man who is a strong, determined survivor.ĭaniel's past as a secret agent of the Salvadoran Junta and CIA has revealed him to be a highly trained killer, having directly killed over 100 people himself (with many more killed indirectly). ![]() They are investing in various security solutions, such as IP CCTV cameras and NVR systems to achieve this safety and security. Security of property and people is important for any commercial and industrial business owner. The old cameras may not show up on the latest SADP tool.Configuring IP Camera on Network: A Step-by-Step Guide for NVR Configuration If your Hikvision cameras are way too old, use an older version of the SADP tool. Make sure your camera works fine in the first place. Sometimes the cameras won’t show up on the SADP tool because they’re not powered up, or dead. SADP tool works for Hikvision devices only. Make sure your cameras are Hikvision cameras or Hikvision OEM (re-branded) products. Try to access the cameras via the Virtual Host: How to access an IP camera connected to a Hikvision PoE NVR. The tool can’t scan those cameras and will list the NVR only. That’s because the cameras are connected to the switch at the back of the NVR and are considered a separate network. If you have a Hikvision NVR with a built-in PoE switch, the SADP tool will see only the NVR and not the cameras. Make sure that the cable you’re using to connect the computer to the internet is working properly. Connect the computer to the same router/switch as the cameras or to the same Wi-Fi as the local network. If you’re on a different network, the tool can’t scan anything. Make sure you’re connected on the same network as the cameras or NVR. You can try another computer as well, just to ensure that there’s nothing wrong with your current computer. If you’re using Windows 8, try to run the SADP install file in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Sometimes the winpcap doesn’t get installed properly and the SADP tool won’t show any of the cameras. SADP tool has compatibility issues with Windows 8. When done, you can re-enable your virus defender software. In a few cases, the antivirus piece won’t allow the SADP tool to run properly and scan correctly your local network. Temporarily disable any anti-virus software you may have running on your computer. ![]() Then run it again and see if you see your cameras online. It’s recommended to uninstall the software and reinstall it again from scratch. Make sure you have installed the latest version of the SADP tool. It comes in handy when you’re creating your own CCTV network. You can locate the cameras, change their IP addresses, and gateways, modify ports and subnet masks, etc. Using this tool is very important when setting up a Hikvision CCTV system. The software locates devices by scanning the mac addresses (and not directly the IP addresses). It doesn’t matter what’s the IP addresses of your IP cameras or recorders, as long as they’re on the same network, the SADP tool will list them. So, basically, SADP is software that scans your local network and will list all the Hikvision devices that it finds on the network. The SADP tool (Search Active Device Protocol) detects Hikvision devices (DVR, NVR, IP camera) on the local area network and facilitates device activation and basic network settings modification of one or more devices at once. There are various reasons why the cameras/devices don’t show up on the SADP tool and we will offer a few solutions/explanations in this article. In some cases, you may see some of the cameras but the rest of them are missing, or you can see the NVR but you can’t see the cameras. It’s a common issue, you run the Hikvision SADP tool on your computer and you can don’t see any IP cameras or NVR/DVR listed on the software. ![]() The more interactive and engaging the learning process, the better.
