Video diptic6/27/2023 He used big bright colours to grab our attention and to make us look - at the colour of the eyes, This meant he could quickly produce the same image on lots of different canvasses over and over and over again. He pulled inks through a screen mesh using a rubber squeegee. It's not surprising, because Warhol used a printing technique that was big in advertising. It looks more like an advert, doesn't it, on a wall. So, when Marilyn died, Andy Warhol decided immediately to make a portrait of her using this famous photograph.īut he didn't just want to make one portrait of her.Īnd another. He did this by making art from objects that people saw around them every day, like.cereal boxes. They were made by an artist called Andy Warhol, who was living in New York and surrounded by celebrities.Įveryone was already listening to the new popular - or pop - music. And today, these pictures of Marilyn Monroe are as famous as she was. The image is fading away, as if it represents both her life and the memory of her. But in fact, it's called "Marilyn Diptych", which means it has two halves.īecause unfortunately, Marilyn died when she was very young.Īnd maybe that's why the second half feels sadder. Now, this painting could have just been called "Marilyn". If they'd had the internet then, she would have been the top story every day. She had platinum-blonde hair, deep eyeshadow, and thick red lips that everyone wanted to kiss. In the 1950s she was one of the most famous and beautiful film stars in the whole world, and everyone wanted to know everything about her. Speaker 1: There was a time, though, when to be a celebrity you had to work really hard to be the very best at something that everybody loved. Anyone can be a celebrity.īut people don't always remember you for very long. Nowadays everyone seems to want to be famous though, don't they? Chefs. I'm used to people staring and taking pictures. ![]() For a moment I thought you were just another tourist wanting to take my photograph.

Feudalism chart unlabeled6/27/2023 Most people in a feudalism system would rarely travel outside of their region. This issue still exists today when nations decide to isolate instead of create trading relationships. ![]() That’s the problem when everything is locally emphasized without much trade. If there was one bad growing system in a region, then the entire ruling system in that area could come tumbling down. This could make life very difficult for the working classes. People could uproot to a new noble, but would often be threatened with death or tracked down if this happened. The exchange gave the nobles riches and the working classes a chance to live their lives in the way they wished without much interference beyond their duties to the region.īecause the chain of command started at the very top, the power of that position made it easy to abuse everyone else within that region. The noble classes could provide this in exchange for a portion of the goods and services that the working class created. The working classes required protection from other regions who might want to take what they had. In feudalism, there was always a job available for someone who wanted to work. Trades only happened periodically, which kept the economy stable locally. Each ruler had their own classes of people in the region, from workers to soldiers, that helped to provide for each other. It is a very self-sufficient system of governing.Įach area had its own rulers assigned to it. ![]() What are the pros and cons of feudalism? Is this a system that could still potentially work today, or has its time come and gone? Here are a few of the key points to consider. This creates a national allegiance and a regional allegiance that was very powerful for each individual. Each region had a noble ruler and these nobles would then pledge their allegiance to a king, queen or other ruling entity. Instead of having one large nation-state, a country would be divided into different ruling regions. Feudalism is a system of government that some look back upon quite fondly.

Tank force 20176/27/2023 ![]() Last week, the Pentagon announced its 37th drawdown package for Ukraine since August 2021. Instead of supplying Ukraine with the weapons it currently needs, USAI packages are intended to create a medium and long-term supply for Ukraine. ![]() The package - first reported by the Associated Press - will fall under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which means it will be contracted and purchased from manufacturers instead of pulled directly from Defense Department stocks in a drawdown. The package will include drones, artillery ammunition and air defense missiles as well as other capabilities, the official said. ![]() It comes at a critical point with Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces looming. The United States is set to announce a $1.2 billion aid package to Ukraine as early as Tuesday, according to a US official familiar with the package. On Saturday night, “the occupiers loaded documentation, office equipment, and other property of state institutions into vehicles,” before leaving with their families on Sunday morning, Ukrainian military officials said. Parts of Russian administration leave Skadovsk: A significant part of the Russian-installed administration of Skadovsk left the occupied city on Sunday, Ukrainian military officials said. The activities of Skadovsk’s district and city administrations were “suspended,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in its daily update. ![]() Kremlin-backed officials mobilize Russians in Mariupol: Kremlin-backed authorities in the occupied Ukrainian city of Mariupol are in the process of mobilizing residents who have Russian passports, the exiled city council claimed on Telegram. Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian-backed self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, which administers Mariupol, signed a decree allowing the mobilization of Russian citizens in the occupied region on March 31. Last week, he announced they would withdraw from Bakhmut - a threat he now appears to be rowing back on. Wagner forces receive more ammunition: Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the private Russian military group Wagner, said preliminary information indicates that his fighters in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut have started to receive more ammunition. Prigozhin had repeatedly complained that his units were not receiving enough ammunition from Russia’s defense establishment. It comes days after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a new $300 million security assistance package for Kyiv. It comes at a critical point with Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces looming. The package will include drones, artillery ammunition and air defense missiles as well as other capabilities, the official said. US to announce new aid package to Ukraine: The United States is set to announce a $1.2 billion aid package to Ukraine as early as Tuesday, according to a US official familiar with the package. The mayor said the drone attack did not cause any deaths, “but five people were injured in two districts of the city.” Other attacks were recorded in Ukraine's Kharkiv and Kherson areas. Russia's launched a wave of strikes on Ukraine early Monday in what Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko called its “ most massive attack."

Scroll of hoppa6/27/2023 Certain spells have been recycled for the abilities of other classes or races.There are other abilities that grant mana on hit beyond curse spells and godspells (i.e.Pondus was made unobtainable because the snap was extremely abusable, leading to players being rooted indefinitely as long as the user continued casting the snap.The names of each spell are in Latin ( Ignis means fire, Viribus means strength, etc.).This is the basic principle for movestacking. You can run while casting a spell by timing W+W with M1.Gelidus and Ignis can both be used for spell climbing, however it only works in Khei.Due to a spell update, you can no longer spell climb in gaia.(Personally I find it easier when falling down a wall) Spell climbing, usually done with Celeritas, is done by jumping, casting, then grabbing the wall.After clicking to cast a spell, there is a very short window to either climb or run.Purposefully backfiring a spell can possibly help in a fight or for an escape.You can purposefully use a curse or god spell to give mana to a new character, but Tenebris will inflict a cursestack that will last for a while.This also acts as a tome, meaning you can get it back at the old man and libraries. A Philosopher's Stone can be used to permanently increase the margin of error for spells, easier casting/less backfiring.Fimbulvetr, Manus Dei, and Mori are also curse spells and therefore can be blocked by curse shield.Used by developers and the owner of rogue lineage.Terra Maledicta is an unknown developer spell, no one knows the percentage.here is a video about it Spells Curse Spells sorry snap Tenebris users, this one isn't for you. with this you can get snaps extremely fast.

Angle of reflection define6/27/2023 Light waves incident on a material induce small oscillations of polarisation in the individual atoms (or oscillation of electrons, in metals), causing each particle to radiate a small secondary wave in all directions, like a dipole antenna. In classical electrodynamics, light is considered as an electromagnetic wave, which is described by Maxwell's equations. White blur represents the probability distribution of finding a particle in a given place if measured. Such mirrors may have surfaces that are spherical or parabolic.ĢD simulation: reflection of a quantum particle. Specular reflection at a curved surface forms an image which may be magnified or demagnified curved mirrors have optical power. Reflection from a flat surface forms a mirror image, which appears to be reversed from left to right because we compare the image we see to what we would see if we were rotated into the position of the image. This is an important principle in the field of thin-film optics. In contrast, when light reflects off of a material with lower refractive index the reflected light is in phase with the incident light. When light reflects off of a material with higher refractive index than the medium in which is traveling, it undergoes a 180° phase shift. A conventional reflector would be useless as the X-rays would simply pass through the intended reflector. As the waves interact at low angle with the surface of this tunnel they are reflected toward the focus point (or toward another interaction with the tunnel surface, eventually being directed to the detector at the focus). X-ray telescopes are constructed by creating a converging "tunnel" for the waves. Total internal reflection is used as a means of focusing waves that cannot effectively be reflected by common means. Total internal reflection of light from a denser medium occurs if the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. This is analogous to the way impedance mismatch in an electric circuit causes reflection of signals. Solving Maxwell's equations for a light ray striking a boundary allows the derivation of the Fresnel equations, which can be used to predict how much of the light is reflected, and how much is refracted in a given situation. In the most general case, a certain fraction of the light is reflected from the interface, and the remainder is refracted. In fact, reflection of light may occur whenever light travels from a medium of a given refractive index into a medium with a different refractive index. The law of reflection states that θ i = θ r, or in other words, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. By projecting an imaginary line through point O perpendicular to the mirror, known as the normal, we can measure the angle of incidence, θ i and the angle of reflection, θ r. In the diagram, a light ray PO strikes a vertical mirror at point O, and the reflected ray is OQ. Reflection also occurs at the surface of transparent media, such as water or glass. Reflection is enhanced in metals by suppression of wave propagation beyond their skin depths. Ī mirror provides the most common model for specular light reflection, and typically consists of a glass sheet with a metallic coating where the significant reflection occurs. In specular reflection the phase of the reflected waves depends on the choice of the origin of coordinates, but the relative phase between s and p (TE and TM) polarizations is fixed by the properties of the media and of the interface between them. Reflection of light is either specular (mirror-like) or diffuse (retaining the energy, but losing the image) depending on the nature of the interface. Even hard X-rays and gamma rays can be reflected at shallow angles with special "grazing" mirrors. Reflection of VHF and higher frequencies is important for radio transmission and for radar. ![]() Reflection is observed with many types of electromagnetic wave, besides visible light. Reflection is observed with surface waves in bodies of water. In geology, it is important in the study of seismic waves. In acoustics, reflection causes echoes and is used in sonar. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection (for example at a mirror) the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated.

Kids cut fingers6/26/2023 After 48 hours, re-suturing is rarely done (except on the face). This is sometimes done if suturing was less than 48 hours ago. The cut may need restitched (or glued) if gaping open. ![]() If the wound is elsewhere on the body, call your doctor now. It does not matter how long it's been since sutures (or glue) were placed. The cut may need to be re-glued or re-stitched. If a face wound has re-opened, call your doctor now. General guidelines for re-suturing or re-gluing are listed below: For open cuts, call your child's doctor now.Sutures that come out early cause the most concern.The specific removal date depends on the location of the stitches or staples. ![]() They need to be removed within 4-14 days.Stitches and staples are used to keep wounds together during healing.When Sutures (Stitches) Should be Removed There is no cutoff, however, for treating open wounds. Ideally, they should be checked and closed within 6 hours. Any open wound that may need sutures should be seen as soon as possible.They usually need closure with sutures or skin glue. On the face, cuts longer than ¼ inch (6 mm) usually need to be seen.Cuts longer than ½ inch (12 mm) usually need sutures.Any cut that is split open or gaping needs sutures.When Sutures (Stitches) are Needed for Cuts Skin glue (Dermabond) questions are also covered.Stapled wounds are treated the same as sutured wounds.Rachel Liu, MD, is an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Yale University School of Medicine, Connecticut. Nibhanipudi, MD, is a professor of clinical emergency medicine at New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York. The child was given a cold compress to wrap around the finger and was discharged home without the need for wound repair, antibiotics, or a tetanus injection. No obvious cuts were noted, other than a small linear abrasion of the epidermis. There was a little swelling of the fingertip due to compression in the pencil sharpener ( Figure 3). Although the child initially cried, the pencil sharpener was removed quickly. The staff subsequently held the pencil sharpener steady and turned her finger counterclockwise. In contrast, a pencil (or finger) turned counterclockwise will roll against the unsharpened underside of the angled blade, so that the blade will not cut. When a pencil is turned clockwise, the blade will pare the wood. With a manual pencil sharpener, the pencil is inserted to the left of the blade and the blade is angled slightly downward. The child cried out during this process, and so this attempted method of removal was abandoned.Īfter thinking about the mechanics of a pencil sharpener, we reasoned that the child most likely felt pain when her finger was turned clockwise, or the pencil sharpener moved counterclockwise. The ED staff attempted to remove the other blade (the free blade) by loosening its screw, but that screw was too tight and could not be loosened. However, this attempt at removal had stripped the head off of the screw, and it now could not be loosened with a smaller screwdriver. The family had attempted to remove the blade by loosening the screw using the Phillips-head screwdriver included on the uncle’s Swiss Army knife. The administration of a digital nerve block was considered prior to removal however, it was felt that this would also be traumatic to the child and could possibly be avoided. The concern was that attempts to remove the blades would worsen any cuts she had received. Removal of the pencil sharpener from the girl’s finger initially posed a challenge because of the 2 entry ports and 2 blades evident on the underside (one on each side), without a clear indication of the direction of the blades’ rotation. ![]() The child was in no significant distress and appeared calm her vital signs were noncontributory. A slight amount of bleeding was present through the right-sided blade of the pencil sharpener, but the bleeding stopped soon after presentation. On physical examination of the girl, the pencil sharpener was found to have 2 entry ports, with the distal phalanx of her left index finger firmly wedged into the right-sided port. Her vaccinations were up to date, with a diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus booster having recently been administered. The child had a previous medical history significant for asthma, and she was taking albuterol as needed. She brought the child to the ED after her attempts to remove the pencil sharpener failed. The event was unwitnessed the toddler’s mother found the pencil sharpener stuck when she attended to her daughter’s crying. Prior to triage, the mother reported that the child had been playing with various toys including the pencil sharpener. A 2-year-old girl, accompanied by her mother and uncle, presented to the emergency department (ED) with the girl’s left index finger stuck in a medium-sized, square, manual pencil sharpener ( Figures 1 and 2). |
