In fact, his biggest concern was not his own safety, but the vampires. “It helps being a guy who is 6ft 4in, and 220lbs,” he says. Even at the beginning, he was not too scared about the characters he would meet. Walking the streets at day and night, he began to home in on the places (typically goth clubs) where vampires might hang out. He realised that if he was ever going to get the chance to meet a real vampire, it was now. He was living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at the time, just an hour’s drive from New Orleans, a city famed for its vibrant subcultures. “This is not a population who are asking to be found,” he says. Thanks to their fear of exposure, these communities have become adept at hiding, a barrier Browning faced when he started his study. “From what we can tell, most major cities across the world seem to have a vampire community,” says Williams. Before the Age of the Internet, they were largely isolated, but through dedicated webpages they have now forged thriving underground networks. But as a researcher at Louisiana State University, he was willing to go through with it for his latest project: an ethnographic study of the New Orleans “real vampire” community.Īnd yet, the practice seems to have lived on among a small group of people. “I’m actually pretty fearful of anything sharp approaching my skin,” he says. After they had cleaned up, the pair went to a charity dinner in aid of the homeless.Ī self-confessed “needle-phobe”, Browning had not been looking forward to the feeding. “He said my blood was not as metallic as it should have been – so he was a little disappointed,” he recalls apparently, diet, hydration and blood group can all make a subtle difference to the flavour. To Browning’s bemusement, he was not quite to his host’s taste. “He drank it a few times, then cleaned and bandaged me,” Browning says today. Lowering his lips to the wound, Browning's associate now starts lapping up the wine-dark liquid. He then punctures it with a disposable hobby scalpel, and squeezes until the blood starts flowing. His acquaintance first swabs a small patch on Browning’s upper back with alcohol. It begins as clinically as a medical procedure. Follow her on Twitter.In the French quarter of New Orleans, John Edgar Browning is about to take part in a "feeding". Julia La Roche is a finance reporter at Yahoo Finance. The airline also paid for a necropsy and cremation for a deceased bulldog named Jax. Hawaiian Airlines refunded the pet and cargo fees for the owners. The carrier flew 7,518 animals and reported three deaths in 2016. However, in 2016, Hawaiian Airlines had a higher rate of events than other airlines, of 3.99 per 10,000 animals. Hawaiian Airlines ( HA) posted 0 incidents in 2017. The lost pet was a cat named Gaige that escaped its kennel at the Honolulu International Airport. One of those reported deaths was a kitten that had a pre-existing medical condition and an Aussie shepherd puppy that died from acute myocardial necrosis.Īlaska Airlines ( ALK) flew 114,974 animals in 2017, reporting two deaths and one missing animal for an incident rate of 0.26 for every 10,000 animals.

Meanwhile, American Airlines ( AAL) ranked No. Other deaths, including two geckos on a flight to Raleigh, didn’t have medical exams performed. Some of the animals died of natural causes, including a 9-year-old cat named Hope that had heart failure and a dog named Rocco that died of a cardiac abnormality due to congenital heart disease. The airline noted that two other animals onboard were found healthy upon arrival in San Francisco and no corrective action was taken. A medical exam attributed Lulu’s death to heat stroke. In another instance, a four-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lulu was found dead upon arriving in San Francisco. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() United said that it would “review existing procedures to enhance security of animals during acceptance process.” One exception was when a three-year-old Abyssinian named Riko escaped its shipping container during the acceptance process and was hit by a car. United also features safety tips on its website for customers traveling with pets.Īn examination of the reported incidents shows that in most cases no corrective action was taken by United since the deaths were considered from natural causes or a necropsy wasn’t performed, the filing shows. Hobart added that United does not know if competitors take the same approach to reporting incidents.

Want to start out as a Wayfarer, like Alva, and spin to win against foes? Go for it. The range of options has been heavily expanded. Everything is pretty much as you remembered it but look at the Classes tab. So let’s start with the character select screen.

Granted, mods have helped in that respect and titles like Dark Souls Remastered have their own awesome overhauls, whether it’s Daughters of Ash or the recent rogue-lite mod.

Sal decided that he should ask you instead of beating around the bush. It was bad for him to assume the worst but you do look like the same age as he is. Maybe you weren’t fluent in English and you got scammed in living in the haunted apartments. He thought that you and your family were tangled in an unfortunate proposal since your features looked foreign. ![]() Ever since the Charley incident, there hasn’t been a lot of new people who moved (or stayed) from the apartments so he was genuinely surprised that there were new people moving in. He thought he and his dad were the only ones to move into the new apartments. Since these are sort of similar, i decided to combine them! hope thats alright Thank you for reading this, idk if it was ranting or venting at this point, but I am glad to be able to actually talk about it.I just finished watching a Let’s Play of Sally Face Episode 4, and I’m so excited to see an imagines blog doing request for that game!! If you don’t mind, can I have a scenario where Reader first moving into Addisons apartment and meeting Sal, and becoming friends with him? Travis, in a way, kinda helped me out of the hole I was digging myself.Īnd now here I am 2 years later, an I am dating my amazing girlfriend! I'm still going through a bit of depression, but I am feeling a lot better now, and I brought back some of my friendships, and became less violent, and came out to a few family members that were a little more accepting than others.Īnd things are still a little bad, but they aren't getting worse, so that's good:) and I started not sleeping at night, and not eating much.and one night I had snuck onto my grandma's kindle (cause I was staying every weekend with her because I couldn't handle being around my step-dad for too long) and I found this game and thought it looked interesting so I watched Jack-a-boi play Sally Face, and I saw Travis for the first time. I guess he kinda knew that something didn't really feel right with me, and we actually had a heart-to-heart one day about it one day (and he was super supportive about it, and wanted to help me best he could with my family)Īnd he actually suggested to me that I try to reconnect with my old friends.Įventually I had given up,and even tried to push him away(though he was determined to help-). Then I dated a guy named Brian (and we still contact eachother, and we are friends now-) and he was actually really sweet, and one of the nicest guys I had ever met. After a while, I just kinda disconnected with everyone (from old friends, family members, Etc.) and I just stayed quiet most of the time. I mean, we barely ever talk, so I could understand why they wouldn't want to be with me. so I've dated like probably a new guy either every week, or every month, and everyone started call me "a slut", "a serial dater", and "a heartbreaker" but I'll have you know they all dumped me, and stuff. And back at that point was when my depression was the worst. Like I just didn't feel happy or anything. I just felt so alone at the time.-Īnyway, I started dating guys, both my age and older, and honestly, I just kinda felt numb around them. ![]() Honestly, I just wanted to fit in, so I kinda just avoided the topic at all costs.Īnd I have to be honest, I was very violent from ages 3-12, so I didn't have many friends, and after a while, they all left me. And I felt like I really couldn't talk to anyone about it so I was kinda scared, and like, everyone I knew in school at the time would make like homophobic jokes so I felt under a lot of pressure, and stress. so anyway, I was also raised to think that it wasn't right. SO, the first time I saw him in Sally Face, I was kinda still "discovery myself" (aka I was finding out my sexualty and stuff-) But anyway, similar to Travis, I grow up in a fully christian home, and they were (and still are) all homophobic, and sextist. So who killed Travis? And was all of this for nothing just because of Sal's gut feeling? Or was it all worth it because of his intuition?Īnd the big question, will the gang ever truly be done? Or will there be a detail they overlooked, sending their minds filling to the brim with questions?Īlso, I just started writing it so here it you wanna check it out! Who killed Travis Phelps? And why? There's no motive, there's no actual big evidence just a fingerprint. So, the deadly game of cat and mouse begins that involves distracting the police and breaking and entering.Īnd it all ends with one question, right? So Sal and the gang decided to do a lil investigating right? And they find some hard ass evidence and Sal's hunch that this murder was NOT and accident and NOT a suicide either.īut if they put it in court, they would never be taken seriously. ![]() ![]() The death seems it can be ruled as an accidental suicide that was changed at the last minute but something isn’t quite right.

To those who are having the same problem: However, the specific speed of a single impeller design does not change with a change in rotational speed. Specific speed is directly proportional to rotational speed when head and flow remain constant. At 1,200 rpm, specific speed is 703, and the impeller would look like a hybrid of the two impellers seen to the left of Figure 1. Its geometry would be similar to the radial vane impeller (beneath the 1,000 point). If the motor speed is lowered to 1,800 rpm, an impeller with a specific speed of 1,055 would be required for the same flow and head. The geometry would be similar to the Francis vane impeller (Figure 1 at the 2,000 point). If these values are entered as Q and H in the equation with a motor speed of 3,600 rpm, the specific speed is 2,110. Pump DesignĪn impeller is needed that will produces 900 gallons per minute (gpm) at 190 feet of head. The flow passages also increase in size at a corresponding rate. The cross sectional pictures in Figure 1 show that, as specific speed increases, the impeller inlet or eye diameter increases and eventually approaches or equals that of the vane outlet. This design discharges radially, but the transition from inlet to outlet is more gradual and results in the highest efficiency. ![]() Those between radial and mixed flow (1,700 to 3,500) are known as Francis vane impellers. Mixed flow impellers (4,000 to 8,000) exhibit both radial and axial characteristics, discharging between the radial and axial angles with a high-flow-to-moderate-head ratio. A radial vane impeller discharges 100 percent of its flow perpendicular to its suction, usually with a low flow-to-head ratio.Īn axial flow impeller discharges 100 percent of its flow along the same axis as its suction with a high flow-to-head ratio. ![]() Pump profile comparisons (courtesy of The lower values (500 to 1,500) on the left of the figure describe the geometry of the radial vane impeller while the higher values (9,000 and higher) on the right of the figure equate to true axial flow impellers (propellers). Viewed this way, specific speed can be useful when selecting a pump for a particular application and predicting premature failure due to off best efficiency point (BEP) operation.įigure 1. It is best to think of it as an index number that can predict certain pump characteristics. An Index NumberĪs Terry Henshaw stated in “Centrifugal Pump Specific Speed” (Pumps & Systems, September 2011), the definition of specific speed can be confusing. It allows the use of existing design and test data to design similar higher and lower flow pumps because the specific speed of a pump is independent of its size. Many pump designers see specific speed as the most important contributor to centrifugal pump design. Specific speed was first applied to centrifugal pumps in the latter 1800s and was a modified version of one developed for water turbines. For other articles in this series, click here.Įarly centrifugal pump design was heavily influenced by turbine technology during the mid to late 1800s. A truly dimensionless variation on the pump specific speed is available, but is less commonly used.Editor's Note: This is the second in a six-part series on centrifugal pump efficiency. The common pump specific speed is not dimensionless, however its dimensions are only important for converting between different unit sets (eg converting and comparing pump specific speeds calculated on a Metric basis and US Customary basis). Specific speed is the speed (in RPM) a geometrically similar impeller would need to operate in order to deliver 1 L/s of fluid at a head of 1 m (US units : 1 USgal/min at a head of 1 ft). Often pump characteristics such as NPSHr, suction lift and pump efficiency will be correlated against the pump specific speed. Pump Specific Speed is a method of characterising pumping conditions and it may be used to determine the most appropriate pump design for a given application. Volumetric flow rate at best efficiency point Impeller revolutions per second, measured in radians ![]() Definitionsĭifferential head across impeller at best efficiency point ![]() Pump specific speed may be used to determine an appropriate pump design for a given application when choosing between axial, radial or multistage centrifugal designs or positive displacement pumps.
