Oh no, Para is procrastinating on cascadeclan with… cascadeclan.

The four clans of this land are Blazeclan, Iceclan, Cascadeclan, and Whisperclan.

Cascadeclan territory:

The Camp - Cascadeclan’s camp is located in a cave system behind a waterfall, accessible through a path that leads up the steppes to it. Clan meetings are hosted in a side cave with a skylight, mini waterfall, and a small pool of water. All the nests are together in one cave, aside from those in the medicine den for the sick and injured. The medicine cats only sleep there when they have ill clanmates to look after.

6. The Upper Steppes - much of Cascadeclan’s land is significantly lower than the other clans. Instead of dropping down in a single cliff or being a steady slope, there are tiered sections marking past flood levels and eroding of the ground.

7. The Islands - at the base of the steppes, the various waterfalls all flow into a basin with many small islands. The land is somewhat swampy from the seasonal flooding, but also rich and fertile for plant life. They also provide good locations for fishing.

8. The Lower Grove - Marking a portion of the boundary between Blazeclan and Cascadeclan is a grove of aspen trees. While not Cascadeclan’s main source of food, the forest is vital when the island basin freezes over, and again later when the snowmelt floods much of their territory. A thunderpath runs between the edge of the trees and Blazeclan, before looping further into the trees and back out of clan territory.

Blazeclan territory:

The Camp - Blazeclan nests in a clearing in a field of heather and brambles. The prickly plants act as a natural defense, with the entrance hidden behind a winding maze. Blazeclan’s dens have loosely woven walls to let in breezes for the intense heats of greenleaf, but thick roofs to keep out snow and rain during the colder moons.

1. The Heather Field - Hiding the camp away, the heather field is a dense weave of its namesake flower, and other prickly foliage. The naturally formed animal trails make for a difficult to traverse terrain, but once one learns the layout, they are perfect for hunting rabbits and smaller rodents.

2. The rest of Blazeclan’s land is pretty homogenous, rolling grassy hills that turn scorching and dry during greenleaf. Wildfires aren’t uncommon to see, during which Blazeclan often takes shelter in the gathering hollow, or with Cascadeclan in extreme situations.

Iceclan territory:

The Camp - Iceclan’s camp is carved directly into the ice and rock that makes up the face of the glacier their name comes from. All of the floor of the camp has been packed with leaf litter, dried prey pelts, and moss to insulate against the ice’s inherent chill. The prey pit is left untouched however, as the Iceclan cats learned it lasted longer in direct contact with the ice. Like Cascadeclan, all of Iceclan sleep communally to stave off the freeze of their camp.

3. The Snow Fields - the surface of the glacier. Snow, ice, and rock stretch out into the mountains, with deadly crevasses gouged into it’s surface. Unsuspecting cats could fall down into these, in which it is almost always a death sentence.

4. The Glacial Face & The Runoff Plains - The face of the glacier is riddled with caves and tunnels that snowmelt pours out from every season but leafbare. The brittle ice that much of it is made of can crumble off, a danger to anyone walking below. The runoff plains are a field of nutrient rich soil and grasses, fed by the minerals that the glacier has picked up over time. Herbs grow thickly here, vital to Iceclan when so much of their territory is inhospitable to plant life.

Whisperclan territory

Whisperclan Camp - Whisperclan set up on a plateau in their woodland, with the only entrance being a hollowed tree with a soil ramp inside. Thorn bushes grow up the edges of the plateau and form a natural barrier, with less thorny bushes forming the dens. Careful weaving of the branches has made the dens completely waterproofed over many seasons, and cats tend to decorate their living spaces with pretty rocks, plants, and feathers.

10. The High Aspens - The entirety of Whisperclan’s claimed land is an aspen forest, a much larger, older forest than the lower grove. Fog pools between the trees every night, and even lingering through the colder days of leafbare. Whisperclan’s foliage is filled with a diverse array of prey, though they have the second lowest access to medicinal herbs in comparison to Iceclan’s runoff flats and Cascadeclan’s mini marshlands.

11. The Foothills - The aspens stretch right up to the mountains, where the trees grow sparser and the ground rockier. Whisperclan tends not to head this way as often, not suited to the mountain environment in the ways Iceclan is.

Neutral Territories

5. The Gathering Hollow & Star Spire - The clans hold gatherings in a hollow just above the steppes, and set into the runoff flats of Iceclan. A tunnel leads down from the hollow, connecting to a cave system that leads to the Star Spire. With such close proximity to Cascadeclan’s cave systems, it is theorized they connect, however the unstable nature of these peripheral tunnels discourages exploration.

9. The Mountains - Past Iceclan and Cascadeclan, the mountains rise up into a jagged skyline. A group of cats is claimed to live in the mountains, but they haven’t been sought out. According to stories passed down by elders, the founder of the clans came from the mountains. An apprentice who fell during a journey, washed out of the mountains and into what became Cascadeclan.

Mass Effect 1 replay, part 1 of Virmire:

-I guess the geth are waterproof, since so many of them walk in the water

-The pod crabs are adorable.

-The path the mako takes seems man-made; the border between it and the ocean seems to have a fence-like structure that has eroded.

Why was the fence built? By who? Why has it eroded?

-What’s the point of the first gatehouse? The gate is open – you can drive straight through without ever entering.

There are clearly gate controls if you do enter. Why didn’t they shut the gate as soon as the first geth spotted you? Why don’t they pursue you if you drive through?

-It’s a nice touch to see the Normandy sweep in after disabling the guns at the second gatehouse.

-Shepard never introduces themself to Kirrahe, so no alignment for spectre/Alliance. Presumably Ashley handled introductions, since she’s already speaking to Kirrahe when Shepard walks up.

-Kirrahe mentions that he lost half his men investigating the facility. That lays the groundwork for the salarians we find later.

-When Shepard initially speaks to Kirrahe, it’s just Kaidan and Ashley. Wrex suddenly appears once Kirrahe mentions that Saren is breeding an army of krogan.

-And from the get go the casual racism of the salarians is apparent. Kirrahe refers to Wrex as “the krogan” and calls the krogans a mistake.

-If you discuss Wrex with Ashley, you tell her to be ready if you go paragon or neutral.

-Everyone but Shepard is in their original clothing, rather than the armor you’ve probably equipped them in.

-Rentola is stranded on Virmire about to attack a facility that massively outnumbers his people and he still insists on selling you his goods. No freebies.

-Garrus, Kaidan, and Ashley address Wrex by name. Kaidan and Ashley twice, Garrus once.

-Notable: Ashley offers to kill Wrex (albeit not in so many words) but still uses his name.

“If you need my help dealing Wrex just let me know���

-Garrus does refer to him as an angry krogan, but he’s not using that to address Wrex, just describe the situation.

“The last thing we need is an angry krogan on our team”

-Tali and Liara both refer to Wrex by name once and “the krogan” once.

Very surprising – typically renegade characters are more racist, and Tali and Liara are more paragon aligned. In both their lines they could easily have used “Wrex”.

Tali: The krogan seems very upset.

Liara: The krogan’s demeanor is worrying.

-The inability to hack device if Shepard doesn’t have decryption is irritating. What, I can’t ask Tali to help me with the medical device just behind her?

-When you speak to Wrex, he mentions that he went with Shepard because he wanted to do more than fight for credits.

Even now, at his lowest point, Wrex still wants to make things better.

He’s just very depressed, and being asked to destroy the best hope for his people in the last millennia isn’t helping.

-If you’ve done Wrex’s family armor quest, you have to lean into renegade to kill Wrex (but not red renegade).

It doesn’t take any speak checks to save him, just not picking the renegade option on the first dialogue wheel after he draws his gun.

-If you kill him, Liara and Tali once again have some very surprising lines:

Liara: We will be a better team without Wrex. His loyalties could not be trusted.

Tali: We will miss the krogan’s strength. But I sense the team will be better off now that he’s gone.

At least Liara uses his name in both her lines about him. Tali still uses “the krogan”.

Did Liara and Tali have the same writer?

-I think Ashley, Kaidan, and Garrus all referred to Wrex by name after his death; I did not write it down.

-The soldiers are mostly thrilled Wrex is dead. Only one says that killing him was regrettable.

-Kirrahe lets you pick whether to give him a Council sponsored funeral or dump his body in the swamps. You can pick the swamps if you go renegade; Shepard isn’t about to honor a traitor.

-If you go paragon with Wrex, one of his lines is: To thank us for wiping out the rachni, they neutered us all.

“They” being the Council.

So we’re just ignoring the part where the krogan invaded an asari colony and refused to leave?

-Now it’s Liara’s turn to use “the krogan”: Your ability to calm the krogan is impressive.

-Ashley, Kaidan, Garrus, and Tali all refer to Wrex by name

Bitumen waterproofing pakistan

The Imperative of Waterproofing in Pakistan

Pakistan's climatic mélange, with its distinct seasons and varying precipitation patterns, places an onerous responsibility on its built environment. Whether it's the blistering dry spells that parch the land or the inundating rains that flood its streets, buildings face an unending barrage from the elements. Waterproofing isn't merely a luxury; it's a requisite armor against water's potentially destructive consequences.

This imperative is particularly pronounced in regions such as northern Pakistan, where the lofty mountains channel intense rainfall, often resulting in landslides and flooding. Similarly, in urban centers like Karachi, where concrete and steel dominate the landscape, waterproofing is vital to prevent the encroachment of water into buildings and infrastructure.

Deciphering Bitumen Waterproofing

Bitumen, a byproduct of crude oil, has emerged as a stalwart ally in the battle against water infiltration. Renowned for its dense, adhesive nature, bitumen is a natural choice for waterproofing solutions. Bitumen waterproofing entails the application of bitumen-based materials onto surfaces that require shielding from water and moisture. This process engenders an impervious barrier that staunchly repels water, fending off the potential decay that moisture can catalyze.

Diverse Applications of Bitumen Waterproofing

Roof Resilience

Roofs, often the first casualty of rain, benefit immensely from bitumen waterproofing membranes. These membranes, ranging from torch-applied to self-adhesive variants, ensure leak-free roofs, particularly vital for flat roofs common in commercial complexes.

Basement Bastion

The subterranean world of basements is perennially at risk of water infiltration. Bitumen coatings morph these vulnerabilities into strengths, empowering basements to thwart the ingress of water and obviate flooding risks.

Transportation Safeguarding

Roads, bridges, and tunnels are lifelines of connectivity. Bitumen-based waterproofing solutions armor these critical infrastructures against water's eroding effects, fostering their durability and reliability.

Foundational Fortification

Foundations are the bedrock of structural stability. Bitumen waterproofing offers a steadfast guard against groundwater intrusion, preserving the structural integrity of buildings and infrastructure alike.

Elevated Efficacy in Tunnels

As urbanization drives tunnel construction, bitumen waterproofing emerges as a beacon of protection, fortifying these passageways against the relentless pressure of groundwater.

The Advantages of Bitumen Waterproofing

Cost-Effective Reliability

Bitumen waterproofing is an investment in longevity. Its longevity translates into reduced maintenance and repair costs over time, which is an essential consideration in the resource-conscious environment of Pakistan.

Versatile Armor

Bitumen's versatility lies in its ability to adhere to diverse surfaces – from concrete to metal to wood. This adaptability ensures comprehensive protection across a range of structures.

Weathering the Storm

Pakistan's climatic volatility demands resilience. Bitumen's enduring properties make it a choice that can withstand the harshest of environmental challenges.

Streamlined Application

Bitumen application, while requiring expertise, is a well-established practice. Its relatively straightforward application process expedites the installation, minimizing disruptions.

Minimal Maintenance

The low-maintenance nature of bitumen waterproofing minimizes the need for frequent interventions, freeing resources and time for other pressing concerns.

Conclusion

In Pakistan, where architectural marvels intertwine with the grandeur of nature, the necessity of waterproofing is undeniable. Bitumen waterproofing stands as an emblem of protection, guarding structures against the capriciousness of climate. As Pakistan ventures into a future of heightened urbanization and expanding infrastructure networks, the dependability of bitumen waterproofing ensures that the nation's constructions can brave the elements while standing as resilient beacons of progress.

Easy Maintenance Tips For Kitchen Sink Splash Guards

The kitchen sink splash guard is essential in maintaining a clean and functional kitchen environment. Designed to prevent water and debris from splashing onto surrounding areas, this often-overlooked feature can significantly reduce mess and damage.

However, like any other kitchen accessory, it requires regular maintenance to perform at its best. This blog outlines practical tips to keep your kitchen sinkin optimal condition, ensuring it remains a practical part of your kitchen setup.

Regular Cleaning for Hygiene and Longevity

Routine cleaning is vital to maintain the functionality and appearance of your kitchen sink. Over time, food particles, soap residue, and grime can accumulate, compromising its effectiveness and hygiene. To clean your splash guard, use a mild dish soap solution and a soft cloth to wipe down the surface after each use.

For more stubborn buildup, a non-abrasive sponge will help you gently remove stains without damaging the material. Regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of dirt, keeping your splash guard and kitchen area clean and hygienic.

Inspect for Cracks and Wear

Though designed to withstand everyday use, your kitchen sink guard is susceptible to wear and tear. Cracks, tears, or a loosening seal can significantly reduce its protective function. During your cleaning routine, take a moment to inspect the splash guard for signs of damage.

Any cracks or gaps in the material should be addressed immediately, either by replacing the guard or applying a temporary sealant. Early detection of damage helps avoid water leakage and the potential for further damage to the countertop or surrounding areas.

Treat Mineral Deposits with Vinegar

In areas with hard water, mineral deposits can build up on your kitchen sink splash guard, leading to a cloudy or discoloured appearance. These deposits may also reduce the splash guard’s effectiveness by obstructing its smooth surface.

Soak a cloth or sponge in white vinegar to remove mineral buildup and apply it to the affected areas. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before gently scrubbing with a soft brush or sponge. Vinegar is a natural, non-toxic solution that removes hard water stains without damaging the splash guard’s material.

Ensure Proper Drying After Use

Excess moisture left on your kitchen sink splash guard can develop mould, mildew, or unpleasant odours over time. After using the sink, it’s essential to dry the splash guard thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.

This simple yet effective practice helps maintain a dry and sanitary environment, preventing moisture buildup that could compromise the guard’s performance and the cleanliness of your kitchen.

Use the Right Cleaning Products

The materials used in kitchen sink guards can vary, and choosing appropriate cleaning products that won’t cause damage is essential. Harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubs, or bleach can erode the surface or degrade the material, leading to a shorter lifespan for your splash guard.

Opt for mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and always check the label to ensure compatibility with the material of your splash guard, whether it’s silicone, rubber, or plastic.

6. Reapply Sealant as Needed

The sealant around your kitchen sink guard ensures a tight, waterproof fit, preventing water from leaking out from underneath. Over time, the sealant may wear down or lose its effectiveness. It’s essential to regularly check the integrity of the seal and reapply high-quality silicone sealant as necessary.

This will help maintain the splash guard’s position and ensure it continues functioning effectively, preventing potential water damage to your kitchen surfaces.

Conclusion

Maintaining your kitchen sink splash guard is essential for ensuring its longevity and effectiveness. By following these straightforward maintenance tips, you can preserve the functionality of the splash guard and keep your kitchen looking pristine.

Regular cleaning, timely repairs, and proper drying can help you avoid costly repairs and maintain a clean, efficient kitchen environment. With minimal effort, your kitchen sink guard will continue to serve its purpose, providing lasting protection against splashes and spills.

How Patio Coating Protects Against Weather Damage

Patios are a wonderful addition to any home, offering a space for relaxation and outdoor activities. However, patios are exposed to the elements year-round, making them vulnerable to weather damage. Patio coating is a protective layer applied to the surface of patios to shield them from harsh weather conditions and extend their lifespan.

Understanding Weather Damage on Patios

Patios face a variety of weather-related threats, including:

Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can fade the color of patio surfaces and weaken the materials.

Rain and Moisture: Water can seep into cracks, leading to mold, mildew, and structural damage.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles: In colder climates, water can freeze and expand within cracks, causing further splitting.

Wind and Debris: Strong winds can carry debris that scratches or erodes the patio surface.

Temperature Fluctuations: Extreme heat or cold can cause patio materials to expand and contract, leading to cracks.

Without protection, these elements can quickly degrade your patio, making it look worn out and requiring costly repairs.

What is Patio Coating?

Patio coating is a specialized treatment applied to patio surfaces to protect them from environmental damage. These coatings come in various materials, such as epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylic. Each type offers unique benefits, including water resistance, UV protection, and added durability.

How Patio Coating Protects Against Weather Damage

1. Waterproofing the Surface

One of the primary ways patio coating protects against weather damage is by making the surface waterproof.

Prevents water from seeping into cracks.

Reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth.

Protects the foundation from weakening due to excessive moisture.

2. UV Ray Protection

Patio coatings often include UV-resistant components that shield the surface from harmful sun rays.

Prevents fading and discoloration of the patio.

Maintains the structural integrity of materials like concrete and wood.

Prolongs the life of decorative finishes and patterns.

3. Resisting Freeze-Thaw Damage

In colder climates, patio coatings create a barrier that minimizes the impact of freeze-thaw cycles.

Prevents water from entering small cracks and freezing.

Reduces the risk of cracks expanding due to ice formation.

Keeps the patio surface smooth and intact during winter.

4. Enhancing Durability Against Wind and Debris

A coated patio is more resistant to scratches and surface erosion caused by wind-blown debris.

5. Temperature Regulation

Specialized reflective coatings help regulate the temperature of your patio.

Helps minimize material waste by extending the patio’s lifespan.

How to Apply Patio Coating

While professional services are recommended for optimal results, here’s a general outline of how patio coating is applied:

Clean the Surface

Remove dirt, debris, and any existing coatings.

Use a pressure washer for a thorough clean.

Repair Cracks and Holes

Fill any visible cracks or holes with a patching compound.

Allow it to dry completely before proceeding.

Choose the Right Coating

Select a coating material based on your patio’s needs and local weather conditions.

Apply the Coating

Use a roller or sprayer to evenly distribute the coating.

Apply multiple layers for added protection.

Allow Proper Drying Time

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying and curing.

When to Reapply Patio Coating

Even the best coatings will wear out over time. Keep an eye on your patio for signs that it may need a fresh coat:

Fading or discoloration of the surface.

Visible cracks or peeling in the coating.

Increased water absorption or puddling on the surface.

Scratches or erosion caused by weather or foot traffic.

Reapplying the coating every few years ensures your patio remains protected and looks its best.

Conclusion

Patio coating is a simple yet effective way to protect your outdoor space from weather damage. It shields against water, UV rays, temperature changes, and wind-blown debris, ensuring your patio remains durable and visually appealing for years to come. By investing in professional patio coating services and choosing the right materials for your climate, you can extend the life of your patio and save money on costly repairs.

A well-coated patio not only withstands the elements but also enhances the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space, making it a worthwhile addition to any home.
