![]() Jett has a few other side projects in the works. “They said about 5,000 kids will get music classes from the benefit,” Jett said. When Jett was honored at last month’s Little Kids Rock benefit, the Hot Topic Foundation donated $250,000 in her name and scores of T-shirts for guests. ![]() Guys like to wear girls clothes because sometimes they’re more stylish and better looking guys’ clothes.” “I know a lot of boys who wear girls’ clothes especially in rock bands. It sounds kind of cliché to say but minimalist, rock ’n’ roll, edgy and dark, but they all apply to my style - androgynous because I don’t have a bunch of curves,” she said. “It’s tough to put words to your own self. The label is meant to appeal to women and men, according to Jett, who was hard-pressed to describe her own look. Jett’s line for Hot Topic retails from $32.50 for a black asymmetrical tank with pleather and lace-up details to $64.50 for a black twill belted motorcycle jacket with lace-up sleeves. So Jett and Laguna started cutting records themselves and sold them from his Cadillac at shows, during her “Put Another Dime in the Jukebox” days. Jett started up her own label after being rejected by 23 major and minor record companies who didn’t think an electric-guitar-playing woman would cut it with fans. In 1980, she started Blackheart Records with her songwriting partner and producer Kenny Laguna, and has been touring on and off ever since. Winding down this year with a few special gigs, Jett knows of what she speaks. And Tripp is kind of famous in New York for catering to that rock ’n’ roll downtown, edgy kind of vibe.” Jett said, “I’ve known about Hot Topic for years and years because on the road there are very few places in certain areas of the country where you can find kind of rock ’n’ roll clothes.
![]() His technical team is focused on forward-thinking, structural improvements to the game, all in advance of an expected 2016 launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We watched the first T-Rex tamed just yesterday. ![]() "It’s like non-stop focus testing, where we learn about bugs and assumptions people make about our game. "Our development team just watches people play the game on Twitch sometimes," Rapczak said. Additionally, he hinted at vast spaces below the oceans and inside cave systems that players have yet to even gain entrance to. The Ark game world is 48 square kilometers, but Rapczak said players have yet to explore the entire landmass. "My wife didn’t even know what I was working on the entire time I was at Microsoft until we announced it," Rapczak said. Microsoft's hologram glasses change the way you see the world Rapczak did spoil one feature during the interview, saying that eventually players will be able to upload their characters at an obelisk and move them - and their accumulated in-game skillset - to a whole other server if they want to. ![]() The game world is filled with floating obelisks, and much of their function has yet to be discovered by the bulk of players. Much of the fascination with Ark has surrounded its innate mystery. "We didn’t spend a lot of time optimizing for lower-end graphics cards," he said, "because that would have taken development time away from our team." Rapczak said that these kinds of performance issues are not unexpected, but that his team had to make hard choices to make the game playable by June. Secrecy is familiar to Rapczak, who worked for three years to make the Hololens a reality. That's with a GTX 970 card and a modern quad-core processor and 8 gigs of RAM - well within the min spec listed on Steam. ![]() During our time with the game we've rarely experienced more than 30 fps, with the average being closer to 10 or 15. One of the complaints from the game's growing community is how low the framerate is. Rapczak said that right now there are over 3,000 player-run servers, in addition to dozens of official servers being run by the team at Wildcard. Released on June 2, the game is already ranked at number 11 on. With all the rising interest in dinosaurs on the way, it made sense to make that window their goal. Why June? The theatrical release of Jurassic World of course. His team, now 40 people strong, has made rapid progress in order to reach their planned June early access release. In November of last year he says he made the decision to return to game development full time. Rapczak is a veteran game developer, but most recently was part of the team at Microsoft making the Hololens augmented reality device. The game is being developed on the Unreal Engine 4 and currently has Oculus Rift support. As they build up resources and craft tools, players can eventually tame and ride dinosaurs. The prehistoric world around them is filled with dinosaurs and other extinct creatures on land, in the air and below the sea. Players wake up on a beach to find a strange metallic jewel embedded in their arm. You can watch the entire 45-minute interview on the Unreal Engine Twitch channel below.Īrk is an online survival game set in a prehistoric world with mysterious science fiction elements. Jesse Rapczak, co-founder and co-creative director at Studio Wildcard - developers of the early access game Ark: Survival Evolved - dropped hints about mysteries yet to be discovered in the game world, and revealed some of the backstory behind the formation of his team. ![]() I didn't call Apple because I figure they would charge as well. ![]() Of course I had to pay $169, but he was able to fix via remote, but they also gave me one year of their mackeeper software for free.

These little red blobs represent the oxygen atoms. So, a molecule is a word we use to represent the simplest unit of some compounds. The chemical name for water is H₂O because each of its molecules contain two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. ![]() Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. We're surrounded by lots and lots of different compounds all of the time. OK, so, can you give us some examples of compounds? Could I find some at home? So, two or more elements that chemically bond together will form a compound. And then can we mix different atoms together? Teacher: But a piece of pure gold will contain only gold atoms, whereas a piece of pure lead will contain only lead atoms. For example, we've got lead and we've got gold. So, different elements are made of different atoms. Teacher: No, elements are made of only one type of atom. Are elements made up of a mixture of different types of atoms? Presenter: OK, let's make sense of all this with Mrs Roberts. Particle diagrams can also show the ratio of atoms of each element in a compound which in turn can tell us the formula of the compound - H₂O. In one molecule of water, there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This particle diagram represents water or, to use its chemical formula, H₂O which is a compound of the elements hydrogen and oxygen. See how they're represented by two circles of different size and colour that are joined together. These clusters of strongly bonded atoms are called molecules. When atoms of two or more elements bond together, they make a compound. In a particle diagram, atoms are represented by a single coloured circle. Well, before we get into this further, let's check out the top things to know about all of this.Īn atom is the simplest particle of an element. There are over one hundred different elements and these are all made of atoms. So now an atom is the smallest particle of an element. Now, to make the diagrams simpler we often just draw them as circles. Teacher: Well, we usually imagine atoms to be like tiny balls like this. Well, is there a way to help us visualise atoms to help us learn about them? So if people were the size of an atom, the entire population of the world would fit into a box about 1000th of a millimetre across. Teacher: Well, atoms are the tiny particles that are too small to see, even with a microscope. Just these handsomely, devilish good looks. Presenter: It's funny, because I don't remember seeing any atoms last time I looked in the mirror. ![]() Grit, determination, hardworking, handsome, charming, funny. The radioisotopes are used to monitor DNA replication, and also to monitor pollutants and water runoffs.Teacher: What do you think you're made of?īig question. The radioisotope loses energy and emits radiation due to an unstable atomic nucleus that is called radioactive decay. Radioactive isotopes are known as radioisotopes. Isotopes have the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons therefore they have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.įor example, carbon can exist in three isotope forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. IsotopesĪn element can have different forms based upon the different number of neutrons within its nuclei, these forms are called isotopes. The example of trace elements includes copper, zinc, manganese, iodine, and sulfur, etc. The trace elements are required in a very small amount for the survival of the organism. As compared to bulk elements, the macrominerals are needed in lower amounts, such as calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and chlorine, etc. Bulk elements include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen that have a large proportion of the human diet. ![]() Electrolytes are minerals that have a natural positive or negative charge when dissolved in water or other body fluids, such as blood. The treatment of hypocalcemia should be initiated immediately in infants with reduced calcium levels while investigating the etiology. Overview What is hyperphosphatemia Hyperphosphatemia is a condition in which you have excess phosphate (phosphorus) in your blood. Since most infants with hypocalcemia are usually asymptomatic, serum total or ionized calcium levels must be monitored in preterm infants with a gestational age <32 weeks, small for gestational age infants, infants of diabetic mothers, and infants with severe prenatal asphyxia with a 1 min Apgar score of <4. Elementary calcium of 10 to 20 mg/kg (1-2 mL/kg/dose 10% calcium gluconate) is given as a slow intravenous infusion in the acute treatment of hypocalcemia in patients with symptoms of tetany or hypocalcemic convulsion. Elementary calcium replacement of 40 to 80 mg/kg/d is recommended for asymptomatic newborns. ![]() Calcium replacement is the cornerstone of the treatment. Hypocalcemia should be treated according to etiology. Excessive phosphate intake, hypomagnesemia, hypoparathyroidism, and vitamin D deficiency are commonest causes of late-onset hypocalcemia. Late-onset hypocalcemia, which is generally symptomatic, develops after the first 72 h and toward the end of the first week of life. Intravenous injections of calcium have been used in the treatment of the acute colic of lead poisoning, and as an adjunct in the treatment of acute fluoride. Early-onset hypocalcemia is generally asymptomatic therefore, screening for hypocalcemia at the 24th and 48th hour after birth is warranted for infants with high risk of developing hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia is defined as total serum calcium 1500 g at birth and total serum calcium <7 mg/dL (1.75 mmol/L) or ionized calcium <4 mg/dL (1 mmol/L) for very low birth weight infants weighing <1500 g. This review article will cover hypocalcemia with specific reference to calcium homeostasis and definition, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of hypocalcemia in newborn and infancy period. There is consensus on the treatment of the symptomatic cases while the calcium level at which the treatment will be initiated and the treatment options are still controversial in asymptomatic hypocalcemia. ![]() Hypocalcemia is a common metabolic problem in newborn period and infancy. Break the paper down into its subsections, and focus on each one individually. ![]() If you're having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big task, stop focusing on that final page count. Think of it as descending from the peak of a mountain rather than struggling to scale one. However, don't let a task fall through the cracks just because it seems "less important." Remember that all assignments must be completed regardless of the impact on your grades.īy tackling your more difficult and time-consuming studies first, you’ll find yourself feeling more motivated to complete the easier assignments that lie ahead. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to success in college. For more involved projects, you'll need to plot out work time over several weeks.įor example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. ![]() Then, rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those assignments that have the greatest impact on your overall coursework and your grades. To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in order of importance. Although it’s tempting to work on the simplest tasks first, you'll be able to manage your schedule better if you start with the ones that take more time and effort to accomplish. It's best to prioritize your more challenging and time-consuming assignments. ![]() Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. The key to success in school is staying focused on your coursework. ![]() After a lengthy discussion, the fishmonger threw it in for free. Woo refused to accept it because a maimed crab is bad luck for the New Year. As she was spearing the live crabs from the tank, one of them lost a limb. Jing-mei listened patiently to her mother as she poked the crabs to find the liveliest ones. She was especially bothered by their cat, which Jing-mei and the tenants suspect that she poisoned. That day, her mother was annoyed about the tenants living in the second-floor apartment of a six-unit building that she owns. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jing-mei had helped her mother shop for the crabs that she served at the New Year's dinner. Later, Jing-mei will notice other Chinese wearing similar pendants and will ask one of them what the pendant signifies. After her mother's death, however, the pendant will begin to assume great importance to her - even though she does not really understand the meaning that her mother assigned to it. One message of Tan’s ‘Two Kinds’ is that you cannot force someone to be free: they have to embrace it and define it in their own way, otherwise it is not worthy of being called freedom.After a Chinese New Year's dinner, Jing-mei's mother gave her a jade pendant which she said was her "life's importance." At first, Jing-mei did not like the pendant it seemed too big and ornate. Except, of course, Jing-mei doesn’t want them, because they’re not her ambitions. Instead, she had to live out her own thwarted ambitions through someone who is, now, free to pursue them. Her journey mirrors her mother’s, oddly, in that they have both had to struggle out of situations where they were not allowed to be free, but the difference is that Jing-mei embraces her freedom whereas her mother didn’t know what to do with hers. Jing-mei realises that doing your best and making yourself proud is the key to a happy life: trying to win talent shows or outdo other people (or, worse, other people’s children through your own child) is only going to leave you trapped in a perpetual cycle of goal-chasing and ambition-pursuing.Īnd yet, Amy Tan has Jing-mei point out that the latter was dependent on the former: in order to be fully content as an adult, she had to plead and fight for her own independence while growing up. These are the ‘Two Kinds’ of person she has been: she had to struggle slowly through the years as a pleading child longing for independence and the right to choose what she pursued, but now she has reached adulthood, she is indeed perfectly contented, in a way that her mother never could be. Yet Tan’s title ‘Two Kinds’ does itself have two kinds of meaning: it can also refer to the final section of the story, in which Jing-mei discovers the other piece of music from the talent show, and realises – in a moment laden (perhaps too conveniently) with symbolism – that ‘Pleading Child’ is complemented by ‘Perfectly Contented’. Ironically, her mother has fled a totalitarian state only to set up a petty tyrannical regime in her own home (you can take the girl out of Communism, but …). The story’s title, ‘Two Kinds’, is ostensibly explained by the mother’s comment to her daughter that there are two kinds of daughter: obedient and free-thinking. She wants an opportunity to confront her mother and air her frustration at having to live out her mother’s own fantasies by becoming a child prodigy. It is significant that, after the talent show, Jing-mei is disappointed that her mother doesn’t shout angrily at her when they get home. This becomes obvious when Jing-mei overhears her mother boasting to a friend, Lindo Jong, about her daughter’s natural talent for music, and she realises that her mother is only making her learn the piano so she can brag to other mothers about how talented her daughter is. ![]() Family Computer Disk System) or FDS for short, is a disk drive add-on for the Famicom, released in Japan only on 21st February 1986 for ¥15000 (USD $80). However, the tip on the weight was when Sony in 1984 convinced Apple Computer to use the 3½-inch drives in the Macintosh 128K model, effectively making the 3½-inch drive a de facto standard.The Nintendo Famicom Disk System (a.k.a. The main problems with this format were the high price, due to the quite elaborate and complex case mechanisms. The Yamaha MDR-1 also used 3-inch drives. Other computers to have used this format are the more unknown Gavilan Mobile Computer and Matsushita's National Mybrain 3000. ![]() It was also more reliable thanks to its hard casing.ģ-inch drives were also used on a number of exotic and obscure CP/M systems such as the Tatung Einstein and occasionally on MSX systems in some regions. Unlike 5¼-inch or 3½-inch disks, the 3-inch disks were designed to be reversible and sported two independent write-protect switches. ![]() Each side of a double-density disk held 180 KB for a total of 360 KB per disk, and 720 KB for quad-density disks. The disk format itself had no more capacity than the more popular (and cheaper) 5¼-inch floppies. The sides were termed "A" and "B" and were completely independent, but single-sided drive units could only access the upper side at one time. Since all 3-inch media were double-sided in nature, single-sided drive owners were able to flip the disk over to use the other side. The Oric-1 & Atmos systems from Oric International also used the 3-inch floppy drives, originally shipping with the Atmos, but also supported on the older Oric-1. The single-sided double density (180 KB) drive was "inherited" by the ZX Spectrum +3 computer after Amstrad bought the rights from Sinclair. The PCW-8512 included a double-sided, quad density (720 KB) as the second drive, and later models, such as the PCW-9512, used quad density even for the first drive. Similarly, only three manufacturers of media (Maxell, Matsushita and Tatung) are known (sometimes also branded Yamaha, Amsoft, Panasonic, Tandy, Godexco and Dixons), but "no-name" disks with questionable quality have been seen in circulation.Īmstrad included a 3-inch single-sided, double-density (180 KB) drive in their CPC and some models of PCW. Only Teac outside this "network" is known to have produced drives. The 3-inch floppy drive itself was manufactured by Hitachi, Matsushita and Maxell. the Mitsumi's Quick Disk 3-inch floppies.the AmDisk-3 Micro-Floppy-disk cartridge system in December 1982, which was originally designed for use with the Apple II Disk II interface card.the 3-inch BRG MCD-1 developed in 1973 by Marcell Jánosi, a Hungarian inventor of Budapest Radiotechnic Company (Budapesti Rádiótechnikai Gyár - BRG).Some of these formats included Dysan and Shugart's 3¼-inch floppy disk, the later ubiquitous Sony 3.5" disk and the 3-inch format: The almost-universal use of the 5¼-inch format made it very difficult for any of these new formats to gain any significant market share. They all shared a number of advantages over the older format, including a small form factor and a rigid case with a slideable write protect catch. The thin folded-plastic shell allowed the disk to be easily damaged through bending, and allowed dirt to get onto the disk surface through the opening.Ī number of solutions were developed, with drives at 2-inch, 2½-inch, 3-inch and 3½-inch (50, 60, 75 and 90 mm), all being offered by various companies. Another problem was that the 5¼-inch disks were simply scaled down versions of the 8-inch disks, which had never really been engineered for ease of use. ![]() Originally designed to be smaller and more practical than the 8-inch format, the 5¼-inch system was itself too large, and as the quality of the recording media grew, the same amount of data could be placed on a smaller surface. Throughout the early 1980s, the limitations of the 5¼-inch format were starting to become clear. |
