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

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.

Safeguarding Your Home: Preventing Moisture Damage to Wood and Structural Integrity

Moisture can silently erode the strength of your home’s wooden structures, leading to serious long-term damage. From warping and rotting to weakened support beams, the effects of excess moisture on wood should never be underestimated. Whether it’s caused by poor ventilation, leaks, or high humidity levels, persistent moisture can jeopardize the stability and safety of your home. Let’s explore how moisture impacts wood and what steps can be taken to mitigate the risks.

The Impact of Moisture on Wood

Wood is a naturally porous material, making it highly susceptible to absorbing water from the air or surrounding environment. When exposed to moisture, wood fibers swell, which can cause warping and loss of structural integrity. Prolonged exposure leads to rot, compromising the wood’s ability to bear weight or provide proper support.

In many cases, moisture enters the home through crawl spaces, often due to poor sealing or lack of proper drainage. These areas are particularly prone to high humidity and standing water, creating the perfect conditions for wood deterioration. Over time, this weakens the overall structure of the home, leading to costly repairs.

Signs of Moisture-Related Damage

It’s important to recognize the early warning signs of moisture damage. Common indicators include:

Warped or bowed wooden beams

Soft or spongy spots in floors or walls

Visible mold or mildew growth

Persistent musty odors

Cracks in drywall or uneven floors

If any of these issues are present, professional services like crawl space repair Charlotte NC can assess and address underlying problems to prevent further damage.

Prevention and Protection: The Role of Encapsulation

Encapsulation is an effective way to protect crawl spaces from moisture intrusion. By sealing the crawl space with a durable vapor barrier, you can significantly reduce the risk of water infiltration and humidity buildup. This process helps to preserve the structural integrity of wooden components by keeping them dry and stable.

For residents in the area, crawl space encapsulation Charlotte NC offers a reliable solution to maintain a safe and moisture-free home environment. Encapsulation not only prevents water damage but also improves indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

The Importance of Professional Assessment

Addressing moisture issues in crawl spaces requires expertise and specialized tools. Professionals can evaluate the extent of the damage, identify the source of the problem, and recommend tailored solutions. A comprehensive repair or encapsulation service ensures long-term protection for both your home’s foundation and its wooden framework.

Services such as Charlotte crawl space encapsulation provide expert evaluations and installations to safeguard homes against moisture-related risks.

Taking Action to Preserve Your Home

Moisture poses a serious threat to the longevity of wooden structures, but proactive steps can prevent extensive damage. Encapsulation and timely repairs not only protect your home but also save money on costly renovations in the future. Keeping wood dry and well-maintained is essential for preserving the strength and stability of your home for years to come.

By addressing potential moisture issues early, you can ensure your home remains a safe and durable investment.

Terrace Waterproofing: Why It’s Essential for Your Home Your home is your sanctuary, and keeping it safe from the elements is key to maintaining its longevity. One of the most overlooked areas of a house when it comes to protection from weather damage is the terrace. While terraces are often used as outdoor spaces for relaxation, gardening, or even as a play area for children, they are also vulnerable to water damage if not properly maintained. Terrace waterproofing is a crucial step to safeguard your home and avoid costly repairs in the future.Terrace Waterproofing: What Is It?

In order to stop water from leaking into the underlying structure, terrace waterproofing is the process of putting waterproofing treatments or systems to the terrace's floor and surfaces. Water can seriously harm the terrace and the rooms below when it penetrates into joints or crevices. Special materials such as coatings, membranes, and sealants are used in the waterproofing process to form a barrier that protects against moisture, humidity, and rainwater.

Why is Terrace Waterproofing Important? Preventing Water Leakage: Weathering, wear, or improper construction can cause small cracks in the terrace that allow water to seep in and cause dampness on the walls, ceilings, and floors below the terrace. This moisture can cause mold growth, paint peeling, and structural weakening, all of which can be costly to repair. Protecting the Structural Integrity: Constant exposure to water can weaken the foundation, erode concrete, rust steel reinforcements, and erode concrete. Waterproofing can prevent these long-term damage and protect your home's structural integrity.Cost-Effective Maintenance: Although waterproofing your terrace might seem like an extra expense at first, it ends up being a wise long-term investment. It can be costly to repair water damage, particularly if it damages the foundation or interior of your house. A well-waterproofed terrace is a wise preventive step that saves you money on repairs.

Increased Durability of Terrace Materials: Rain, wind, and sun are just a few of the severe weather conditions that terraces frequently encounter. The tiles, cement, and stone that were used to construct the terrace may deteriorate over time if they are not properly waterproofed. By shielding these materials from water damage, waterproofing helps them last longer.

Improved Aesthetic Appeal: If your terrace and the walls underneath it are not sufficiently waterproofed, water stains, mold, and moss can grow, which can make your home look less inviting and detract from its appearance. Waterproofing keeps your terrace looking dry, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. Depending on your terrace's type and budget, there are a number of waterproofing methods available. Some of the most popular ones are as follows:Liquid Membrane Waterproofing: This method involves applying a liquid membrane coating on the surface, which forms a flexible and seamless layer that blocks water ingress. Bituminous Membranes: These are sheets made of bitumen and are ideal for terraces that experience a lot of rain. They are durable and provide strong protection against water damage. Cementitious Waterproofing: This method involves using cement-based coatings to waterproof the terrace. It is particularly useful for areas with smaller cracks and joints. Polyurethane Coating: A more advanced solution, polyurethane is a durable and highly flexible waterproofing material. It is ideal for terraces subjected to high traffic or extreme weather conditions. In conclusion

A crucial first step in guaranteeing the longevity and safety of your house is waterproofing your terrace. Investing in the right waterproofing solutions will improve the structural integrity and visual appeal of your property in addition to protecting it from water damage. Regardless of whether you have a rooftop patio, garden terrace, or flat roof, be sure to speak with experts who can assist you in selecting the greatest waterproofing technique for your requirements. You'll save time, money, and hassle later on with this modest investment.
