![]() ![]() They may be ugly… but they are also kind of adorable. However, that doesn’t stop the shoebill from being one of the most popular birds on the must-see list for birdwatchers in Central-Eastern Africa. You can’t expect a bird to win a beauty pageant when its face is attached to a giant bill resembling a clog shoe. Diet: Lungfish, water snakes, baby crocodiles, lizards, rodents and waterfowl. ![]() Where they are found: Central-Eastern Africa.Unique ugly feature: Large, shoe-shaped beak. ![]() This may seem like a strange habit, but it protects the chicks from predators. Once the chicks are ready to fledge, the adults break open the seal. Pairs work together to seal the female up inside a tree cavity with mud, fruit pulp, and feces, leaving a hole only large enough for the male to transfer regurgitated food to her as she incubates up to six eggs. Helmeted hornbills are monogamous birds which have a peculiar breeding habit. This is largely due to the many hunters out trying to kill the birds for their casques (made of solid keratin) that are sold for big bucks to carvers and handicraft makers. The first is the most notable feature, the “casque,” which is the helmet-shaped structure above the bill. Two characteristics give the helmeted hornbill its intimidating appearance. Should this hornbill’s appearance not startle you at first, its maniacal cackle will most certainly stop you in your tracks. One look at the helmeted hornbill and you may readily accept the Punan myth that this bird guards the river that flows between life and death.

![]() ![]() The good news is that most creeping thyme generally requires the same growing conditions but the color of the flowers and the overall size of the plant can vary. Making it even more interesting is that several varieties of creeping thyme smell, and even taste, like other herbs. I also noticed some of the details of the plants’ growing habits can vary between sources. I found a number of sites (some by botanical gardens and universities) that seem to use wild thyme and mother-of-thyme as the common name for a number of different species. Perhaps due to their ability to hybridize, it would seem even the experts have some trouble determining which plants belong categorized under which species. While the plants being sold as creeping thyme or elfin thyme are quite similar in growth habit and produce lovely little flowers, it might be helpful to know which is which before investing in one or more of these charming herbal plants. Starting plants from seed is possible but the germination rates are somewhat low.Īdditionally, thyme is generally a slow-growing herb which makes these smaller species and varieties even a more popular choice for miniature gardens. However, divisions may not stand up to a late spring or early fall frost. Spring and early fall are the suggested times for dividing the creeping thymes. They suggested propagation by cutting and division to retain the characteristics of the parent plant. Though only discussed on one of my sources, it would seem that most species and varieties of creeping thyme are considered “cultivars” and while some can be grown from seed, they are not thought to remain true. They originally grew wild in the more temperate areas of Europe and a few species have become naturalized in the American northwest to the point of becoming invasive. Most species of creeping thyme seem safe for anyone in Zones 5-8 but there are a few requiring warmer temperatures or that can handle slightly more cold. I’ve seen varying reports on where these plants do best. I did notice a site from England mentioned a number of species as being “noted for attracting wildlife” but it wasn’t clear if that meant bees and butterflies or something that would make a meal out of your thyme plants. ![]() They are considered deer tolerant but as we all know that seems to depend on what your resident critters might deem tasty as opposed to what the experts say. One source suggested a thin layer of gravel be placed around the plant to help protect the foliage from wet soil. ![]() (Actually, the leaves will all turn black and the plant will die a slow and lingering death if you over-water. All thyme tends to rot in moist or wet soil particularly during the winter months. They prefer dry to medium, well-drained soil. Growing Creeping ThymeĪll of the species of thyme currently being sold as creeping or elfin thyme require similar soil conditions. If you plan on harvesting leaves for drying, the best times are early and late summer right before the flowers bloom. Their scent, and one would therefore presume their flavor, varies with the seasons and the climate of where it is being grown. It is a “stepable” – meaning that it can be used in an area of the garden that receives moderate foot traffic.įrom everything I’ve read, the creeping thymes are edible but they vary greatly in their culinary usefulness. Traditionally, creeping thyme has been used as an evergreen ground-cover and often used in rock gardens and in between stepping stones. There are several varieties of both as well as a number of other species being sold to Fairy Gardeners due to their small size and pretty little flowers. The two species of thyme most often referred to as Elfin Thyme are Thymus serpyllum and Thymus praecox. Fairy Garden by Melissa of the Inspired RoomĪs already mentioned, creeping thyme has become a popular choice for fairy gardens like the one shown here from the inspired room. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our ISP arranged to do this in our Fortig.

![]() ![]() Avoiding zombies might be cool at first, but it's not really practical and definitely less effective compared to fighting all zombies face to face. Surviving by stealth and foraging is less effective. As one wise man said: "killing zombies is defining the current meta and is the most effective way of surviving." - with which I agree.Sprinters are not considered in this tier list due to them being the most challenging version of zeds vanilla game can offer, therefore they're not recommended to newer players. This tier list is about shambler zombies.I'm not getting into builds and combinations territory because I want to incentivize players to create them themselves (one of the most fun things in PZ), nonetheless, this guide will have some notable examples.Also having max fitness or strength early has much more value and impact compared to having it in the late game. Factually this is correct, but very few people actually achieve this on practice because it takes too long and it's boring. I disagree with "you can max your strength and fitness eventually" rhetoric. Majority of players rarely play into the late game, most deaths happen early into the run. There's a solid focus on early game in this ranking.Order of placements in each tier matters.Guide is constantly updated, author follows the latest versions and changes.Resolved mod conflicts include popular mods like: Superb Survivors!, Snake's Mod Pack 41.This Tier List is supposed to serve as a quick and convenient source of information on Traits and Occupations.

Only the ten-year-old Tywin spoke out against the wedding because he thought it an uneven match. Upon the announcement, Lord Roger Reyne left the hall in anger and Ellyn Reyne laughed aloud. The betrothal was announced at a feast in 252 AC, with most of the western lords in attendance. Lord Tytos agreed to marry his daughter Genna to Emmon Frey, the second son of Lord Walder Frey, just to please the Lord of the Crossing. According to legend, the baby bit the finger of his grandsire, Lord Gerold Lannister. Tywin was the first born of Tytos Lannister and Jeyne Marbrand. Tywin as a boy with his father Tytos, as depicted by Magali Villeneuve in The World of Ice & Fire The destrier has a blanket with enameled crimson scales and gilded crinet and chamfron, as well as crimson silk bardings decorated with the lion of the Lannisters.

Tywin's heavy cloth-of-gold greatcloak is clasped with gold miniature lionesses, and his greathelm is decorated with a roaring lion with ruby eyes. Tywin's steel plate armor is enameled in deep crimson and highlighted with gold, and its rondels are golden sunburts. Genna's husband, Ser Emmon Frey, is terrified of his brother-in-law. ![]() Ser Addam Marbrand is said to be Tywin's most daring commander. Tywin often relies on his brother, Ser Kevan Lannister. This is partly because Tyrion is a dwarf, but also Tywin blames his youngest son for causing his beloved wife Joanna's death during his birth, as well as for shaming the family name with his frequent whoring. Tywin loves his elder children, Queen Cersei and Ser Jaime, but despises Tyrion. Tywin, by Mark Evans © Fantasy Flight Games He is especially talented at the raising of funds, leading to a persistent jest that he must "shit gold." Tywin is more respected than loved in the westerlands, and he is remembered in King's Landing for the Sack. Though ruthless, Tywin Lannister is an able and shrewd ruler who brought great prosperity during his tenure as the King's Hand. According to his sister Genna, Tywin mistrusts laughter because of how his father, Lord Tytos, had been laughed at Grand Maester Pycelle was amazed that his late wife Joanna was able to make him laugh three different times. Tywin is a proven battle commander who leads from the rear, and he has a powerful presence combined with an intimidating gaze.

![]() If you need even more than those standard snap areas, BetterSnapTool now allows you to create your own, custom snap areas anywhere on your display. This enables you to easily maximize your windows, position them side by side or even resize them to quarters of the screen. However, we recommend that you support an even smaller minimum width (330 epx or less) so that it's compatible with a larger set of devices and snap layouts.BetterSnapTool allows you to easily manage your window positions and sizes by either dragging them to one of the screen's corners or to the top, left or right side of the screen. Your app should support a minimum width of at most 500 effective pixels (epx) to support snap layouts across the most common screen sizes. If your app can invoke the menu with snap layouts but isn't able to snap properly to the zone sizes, it's likely that your app's minimum window size is too large for the window to fit in the selected zone. What if my app's window shows snap layouts but isn't snapping properly? If your app uses Electron, update to the v13 stable release of Electron to enable snap layouts. Return ::DefWindowProcW(window, msg, wParam, lParam) If (::PtInRect(&m_maximizeButtonRect, point)) If the point is in your maximize button then return HTMAXBUTTON ::MapWindowPoints(nullptr, window, &point, 1) GET_X_LPARAM and GET_Y_LPARAM are defined in windowsx.h LRESULT CALLBACK TestWndProc(HWND window, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) Use the Windows App SDK windowing APIs (see Manage app windows) and have the platform draw and implement the caption buttons for you.įor Win32 apps, make sure you are responding appropriately to WM_NCHITTEST (with a return value of HTMAXBUTTON for the maximize/restore button). If you have a custom title bar, then you can: If your app's main window has the maximize caption button available but does not show snap layouts, it may be because you've customized your caption buttons or title bar in a way that prevents it. Why doesn't my app show the snap layouts menu? This topic describes how to make sure your app shows the menu with snap layouts if the system does not show it automatically. Snap layouts will appear automatically for most apps, but some desktop apps may not show snap layouts. ![]() If the app's window has the maximize caption button available, the system will automatically show snap layouts when a user hovers the mouse over the window's maximize button. Snap layouts are tailored to the current screen size and orientation, including support for three side-by-side windows on large landscape screens and top/bottom stacked windows on portrait screens. After invoking the menu that shows the available layouts, users can click on a zone in a layout to snap a window to that particular zone and then use Snap Assist to finish building an entire layout of windows. Snap layouts are easily accessible by hovering the mouse over a window's maximize button or pressing Win + Z. Snap layouts are a new Windows 11 feature to help introduce users to the power of window snapping. ![]() |
