Currently this agency has 109 employees (80 Inspectors) working out of five regional offices with headquarters in Charleston. In 1991 a further reorganization placed the state mine health and safety functions in a new agency called the West Virginia Office of Miners’ Health Safety and Training. The Department of Mines existed until 1985 when it was merged with other state regulatory agencies to create the West Virginia Department of Energy, later know as the West Virginia Division of Energy. The law also increased the number of inspectors to seven. In July of 1905 the West Virginia Department of Mines was created. Between the years 18 coal production increased by nearly 125% and the need for a Department of Mines was warranted. Also, that year the mining laws were printed in book form for the first time. The legislature passed in 1897 an act expanding the number of inspection districts to four and created the position of Chief Mine Inspector. Not until 1887 would any major revision of the mining laws occur despite pleas for changes from the state Mine Inspector. This first act called for the appointment a mine inspector to make certain the mines in the state were properly drained and ventilated. ![]() With the growth of the industry the first mine safety laws were passed by the West Virginia Legislature on February 22, 1883. The major rail lines were completed that year and production totaled nearly 3 million tons. The year 1883 is an important year in West Virginia’s coal history. The commercial coal industry began to grow with the arrival of the railroads in the coal fields. Only along navigable rivers was the coal exported to distant markets. Most of the coal produced was for local business and domestic consumption. The other coal fields in the state began to develop in the following two decades. The growth of the salt industry led to the opening of mines to supply furnace fuel during the 1820’s and 1830’s. Coal is reported to have been mined as early as 1810 when a mine was operated near Wheeling, in the northern panhandle. Records indicate the early settlers in the western sections of Virginia were quite aware of the rich black resources. Underlying the topography of the state are sixty-two individual seams of coal considered economically minable. These coal deposits occur in all but two of the mountain states’ fifty-five counties. West Virginia is fortunate to have been blessed with enormous reserves of energy rich bituminous coal.

Harmony hub turn on ps412/30/2023 ![]() But, once powered on, Harmony will automatically use Bluetooth to connect and enable control of your PlayStation.įor more details, visit our support site for a complete overview of setting up and using your PlayStation 4 with your Harmony remote. So you’ll need to turn your PlayStation on first, before you sit down with your remote. One thing we do need to mention is, unfortunately, this update does not allow you to power your PlayStation on directly-Sony does not permit any remote other than their game controller to power on the game console. I can by using the crossbar menus or the quick menu, then using the power button on the remote to power down the rest of the system. And in many cases, you can use the Harmony mobile app to enter text to find your favorite show or movies or when using the PlayStation 4 web browser. I can turn my PS4 Pro on with my Harmony 900 remote, just cant turn it off, at least not automatically. It functions exactly the same way my current. We know many users rely on PlayStation 4 for more than just games, so now you can use your Harmony remote or app to control Blu-Ray movies and streaming apps streaming apps including Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Instant Video, and more. I have a harmony hub and was expecting this to TURN ON my PS4. I have a PS3 integrated via Harmony hub (70 refurbished on ebay) doing almost exactly what you are looking for. With this new functionality, you can now navigate menus on your PlayStation 4 using your Harmony remote or the Harmony app. We’re happy to announce that, in addition to bringing home control capabilities to all hub-based products, our most recent software update also makes PlayStation 4 control possible for these hub-based remotes. Even bumping a button trying to put a controller into a charging dock while it's navigating to standby is enough to throw off the lengthy button-press sequence from the Harmony - which is a bit of a PITA when it happens, as now all your devices are off except your PS4, which will sit wherever it landed (I usually go in via Remote Play on my iPad Pro to complete the turn-off navigation).Control for PlayStation 4 is something our customers have been asking for for some time. So yeah, to me it seemed like a better solution than the native Harmony protocol because. For whatever reason, this PDP IR receiver and the official remote are the only accessories that can turn on the PS4 outside of controllers. it never came to the Harmony for the PS4. Harmony and PS4 Harmony experience with PlayStation 4 The Harmony Team has confirmed: It's compatible with Harmony hubbased products Setup Set up your PlayStation 4 Setup and configure your PlayStation 4, install any desired apps such as Netflix or Amazon. You just have to be aware when putting the PS4 into standby through the Harmony Hub that you need to be somewhere in the PS4 interface where pressing the PS button would bring you to the main PS4 menu interface (so pretty much anywhere in a game, or hovering over the Store in the main menu), and that you can't touch any connected controller buttons while it's navigating to standby (a fact my child seems to take delight in ignoring). The Reddit home for PlayStation 5 - your hub PS5 news and discussion. Then I setup the Power On to go through the PDP IR receiver, and turning off (really standby) to go through Bluetooth (as the Harmony PS4 Bluetooth profile already has the steps needed to navigate through the menus to put the PS4 into standby mode). ![]() What I've done to control mine for both power on and power off is to setup both the Harmony to PS4 Bluetooth device and the PDP IR control, and put them both into the same activity. I want to use the harmony remote as a replacement for the PS media remote so I dont have to have my harmony remote and controller at the same time. Since the Harmony hub works with Alexa and Google Assistant, both will be able to read all of the activities and devices linked to your account. ![]() The slightly painful part is that you can't easily turn off the PS4 once it's turned on with this device. Even the Sony PS4 remote cant turn the console on. However the harmony hub cant turn the PS4 on, you need to use a controller to do that. This device can turn on the PS4, and it's compatible with Harmony. Can I still control functions for the PS4 Pro using the Harmony Hub while the PS4 is connected via ethernet, or will it not function properly unless the PS4 is connected via wifi. ![]() Sony licensed some company to release an official PS4 IR receiver, that can receive IR signals and then relay them to the PS4.

Vtech activity desk inserts12/29/2023 ![]() You must be a Mommy Shorts subscriber to enter and then leave a comment below. Today, I am giving away one Touch and Learn Activity Desk Deluxe to one lucky reader! And oddly enough, even though the desk is a larger sized toy that you can’t put away, it makes way less mess than pulling all the clothes out of the dress-up bin and scattering her Barbies and their various accessories around our living room. When Harlow is playing at the desk, I feel like she is discovering new skills and entertained and working on her fine motor skills, without the option of exiting a game to watch a YouTube video. We didn’t bring it back to our apartment because we don’t have a lot of space for a big toy but I already wish we could find some room. She played with the desk for a good amount of time every day, from the day it arrived until we left it at the house when we moved back to the city last week. Obviously, the desk didn’t stop Harlow from asking from her iPad (she still uses it in the mornings as always) but it definitely made her ask for it less often at other parts of the day, since the iPad is usually requested when she can’t find something else to do. She is also so intrigued by all the buttons and options that sometimes it’s hard for her to stick to the activity sheet at hand without getting distracted, which throws off the audio prompts. Since Harlow is on the younger end of the age the desk was meant for, she is definitely more comfortable playing with the activity sheets that came with the desk than the expansion packs which are meant for older kids. ![]() She also really likes taking pretend calls on the phone. 1-48 of 162 results for 'vtech desk' Results Price and other details may vary based on product size and color. Harlow has found countless different things to do with it- from listening to letter sounds to pretending she’s the teacher with the chalkboard. The desk is made for kids 2-5 years-old, so after a few days of trying out the different expansion packs, Mazzy realized she was a little old for the desk and let Harlow have full reign. My only issue is that Mazzy got excited as well so I had to mediate to figure out who would play with it first. I can tell you that as soon as Harlow saw it, she got excited. It seemed like just the kind of thing that could draw Harlow away from the lure of a smart device while still being able to teach her valuable new skills. VTech sells expansion packs with different cartridges and curriculums so that you can have more advanced lessons like reading skills, math and occupations. The desk also transforms into a chalkboard and art station with ample space for supply storage, and it has a music player and a pretend phone to play with as well. It comes with five double-sided interactive pages so your kid can switch up and vary the lessons. The Activity Desk Deluxe excited me because it is interactive, with buttons and audio which takes you through the discovery tools and an LED display which teaches letter and number strokes and how to draw basic shapes. I think that’s one of the big dangers of letting your kid play on a smart device- other toys can start to seem boring. We have puzzles and number and letter themed toys but they tend to get overlooked. There’s a lot of role playing and pretend play in our house. The toy is the Touch and Learn Activity Desk Deluxe from VTech and since they sent it to us, it has become quite the hit in our house.Īs you all know, my kids are huge fans of their iPads and when they are not playing with those (which we try to limit to the mornings), they tend to play with dolls and dress-up stuff. Actually, I know for a fact that a lot of you have noticed because I got like 100 messages from people saying, “Hey, what’s that toy Harlow is playing with?” New batteries recommended for regular use.If you follow me on Snapchat, you’ve probably noticed Harlow playing with a new toy. Batteries included for demo purposes only. Enjoy hours of fun as you create, discover and learn! Intended for ages 2+ Years. For even more fun, your toddler can play with the toy telephone or listen to fun tunes on the music player. The LED display illustrates letter and number stroke order and how to draw basic shapes. It also transforms from a desk into an easel and chalkboard with plenty of storage space for art supplies to encourage play and discovery. Choose from eight expansion packs (each sold separately) that each focus on a specific curriculum like nursery rhymes, reading skills, animals and numbers. ![]() The Touch & Learn Activity Desk™ Deluxe by VTech® is a three-in-one desk with interactive activity cards that’s expandable for more fun and discovery! The desk features an interactive desktop and five pages to explore that are filled with engaging content including letters, numbers, music, colors and more.

These devices allowed you to do a lot of exciting stuff with your console.īut nowadays, as almost every Pokemon Fan is playing on an emulator, you can just use the cheat code we provide without the device itself.Īlso, remember to not activate a lot of cheats simultaneously it may break your game if the cheats aren’t compatible. GameShark, simply put, is a tool used in gaming consoles to do some things that the game won’t allow you.įor example, obtaining an item, rewatching cut scenes, etc.ĭevices like the GameShark were top-rated back in the day, especially for the GameBoy and the PS1. There are different cheat codes for Pokemon Leaf Green!)īefore we deep dive into the list, if you’re new to cheats in Pokemon, you won’t be familiar with what GameShark means. (Note – The cheats may or may not work for Pokemon Leaf Green even though they’re the same game.

There are some great Pokemon in the game that evolve only after trading. If you’re on one of the best Pokemon emulators, you can just speed up!īut speed isn’t the only issue here. Fortunately, there are some tricks that you can use. Pokemon games from the past are prone to these problems, of being slow-paced and taking time to get to the reward. In this modern age, we want everything as fast as possible. People had a good attention span and had patience. And rightfully so, the game is the definitive Pokemon experience it has all the original Pokemon that we grew up loving and not to mention the nostalgia!īut times have changed the games are old, and this isn’t a bad thing per se, but we’ve grown accustomed to newer and fast-paced gameplay. Treasure island streams may or may not violate those same terms of service, and it remains to be seen if Nintendo will take a stance on the issue.Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green came out decades ago, there is still a sizeable amount of fans who obsess over the game’s brilliance. Nintendo has taken action in the past, cracking down on players for making real-money transactions for Animal Crossing villagers, explaining that these practices are against the company's terms of service. This is likely, considering how many of the Twitch streams have advertisements attached. However, the new popularity of these hacking-based treasure islands brings some online-play ethics into question, especially if a streamer is making money off of their views or donations. Some members of the community take issue with the way other players use tools like online play and time traveling, but the practices remain generally harmless. Everything on Nookazon is bought and sold using Bells or Nook Miles Tickets - the only real-life money required is an investment in a Nintendo Switch Online membership. If something exists in New Horizons, it's probably available on Nookazon either for free, in an auction, or at a set price. Nookazon is what it sounds like - an Animal Crossing Amazon. Turnip Exchange allows players to visit islands (usually for an in-game fee) where Timmy and Tommy are purchasing turnips for a high price, providing the opportunity to bring hundreds of turnips and leave with millions of Bells easily. Other external online services like Turnip Exchange and Nookazon are solely dedicated to this same online market. Players that want to take advantage of these islands don't need to bring a single thing - they only need a Nintendo Online membership. It's certainly a clever way to drive up views and engagement on a stream, but may not be the most ethical. Streamers will host a completely free treasure island and put the Dodo Code inside their stream chats, requiring other players to open and view the stream in order to access the island. Some of these island hosts will charge a fee for players to enter the island, usually asking for Nook Miles Tickets, but with Twitch streamers that isn't usually the case. Treasure islands are full of a variety of in-game items ranging from collectible furniture sets to high-value items like turnips or even Bells that players can pocket. These islands are hosted by players who share their Dodo Codes publicly through Twitch, Discord, or TikTok and invite other players to come and take whatever they would like. The latest trend in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons community is treasure islands.

Dew point phoenix12/28/2023 ![]() What is the dew point, and why does it feel so good when it’s low? And I know that the weather feels better when the dew point is lower.īut I don’t get why, or what it is. The dew point is high today and it feels disgusting. I’m recently - in large part because of your Twitter feed - a dew point convert. Yeah, and I wanted to ask you about what makes it feel cooler. Right! Like a cooler rainy day is pretty nice. It feels like I’m in a low-temperature sauna. I think what makes it stink is that it’s very sticky outside. Sometimes I have to try really hard to keep what we need in terms of weather away from what the actual vibe is - today is definitely two out of five. In your words, the vibes in New York are awful today. New York Metro Weather has a 58,000-plus following that looks to it to answer a really simple question: Is the weather in New York City today going to be good or bad? Homenuk gives his followers a vibe rating out of 10 (sunny, humidity-free days score the highest) and sprinkles in a brief explanation of why it will or won’t be a pleasant day in New York.Īs Homenuk confirmed to me, not all 72☏ days are created equal - and the dew point might be the best explanation why. He’s the force behind the New York Metro Weather Twitter account. ![]() Homenuk, who studied meteorology at Kean University, is a dew point enthusiast and the reason I found out about dew point forecasts in the first place. In an effort to better explain why the dew point is the superior way to tell the weather and what it exactly means, I spoke with John Homenuk on a recent rainy, uncomfortably sweaty afternoon. (The relative humidity, a sometimes popular metric, measures the dew point against the temperature, making it particularly unhelpful on very, very hot days, when the temperature may be much higher than a relatively low, but still uncomfortable, dew point.) The higher it is (70s) the closer it will be to my personal hell. The lower it is - ideally in the 50s to 60s - the less sticky it will feel. Thankfully, I’ve found a better number to tell me how it’s going to feel outside - and it’s not the relative humidity, which is also a sham. Sweating through my shirt, wiping my brow, and staring in disbelief at my weather app wondering, “How could this be the 72☏ I know and love?” When a 72-degree day feels like a swampy armpit, I start to realize that everything I’ve ever thought I understood about weather, mainly temperature, is a lie. Below is an interview from 2022 (another hot year!) that seeks to help you read your weather app. Editor’s note : Summer 2023 has been one of the hottest on record - although one of the coolest we’ll ever see again - and we could all use a little help navigating the heat.
