So, in honor of this growth-focused season, we bring you our finest play on Julius Caesar’s infamous fall from power: BEHOLD. But the process is hard and takes practice to execute on consistently. And those who do it take immense pride, often in the face of profound imposter syndrome. It feels like magic, right? Especially with intangible ideas swirling around in the ether and a seemingly-elite group of courageous spirits who are able to capture them creatively. ![]() Then you execute on that plan using those ideas. Here’s the reality with content marketing: you identify a problem, make a plan to solve it with content, research the bejeezus out of it, and form ideas that resonate with your audience. Nor does success hinge on mystical forces. It starts with an outlandish promise of success and fortune, requires you to believe in a seedling of an idea, and seems to involve a fair amount of what one might call creative magic.īut – stop us if you’ve heard this before – creativity is not magic.

As the demand for ion-based mobile devices increases, the choice to use a more flexible and remote desktop web portal for managing nuclear facility information increases. While Supremo may not be the first choice for your business, it is becoming a more popular choice for IT managers. ![]() This includes the emails, applications, contacts, and passwords. One of the most important aspects of this application is the ability for you to control all of your company's information. This piece of technology can be used in conjunction with other technologies and services to provide your company with the edge in today's competitive market place. Nanosystems SRL offers many options for managing your company's network, including remote desktop web portal, centralized email, application access management, and remote access licensing. The ability to use the Specially Designed Application (SDA) interface to view information in real time from any location on the world, at any time is a remarkable feature for the business of nuclear facility operators. The ability to allow IT managers to access their IT manager console from remote locations around the globe is also a major attraction for this technology. This is a vital piece of software as it allows nuclear facility owners and operators to quickly find out the status of key personnel associated with key facilities and to make informed decisions about inventory, budgets, inventory levels, and inventory tracking. In July of 2021, Nanosystems launched the IT Management Console (ITMUS), which enables users to manage and track uranium backup customers and simultaneously manage, synchronise and activate their nuclear facilities. ![]() ![]() Target organs of potential toxic effects of Cs are the liver, intestine, heart, and kidneys. Cesium may be used in industry for the production of photoelectric cells, vacuum tubes, spectrographic instruments, scintillation counters, DNA biochemistry, in various optical or detecting devices. Radioactive Cs isotopes may contaminate soil at nuclear waste sites. Non-radioactive cesium chloride may be advertised on the internet as "high pH therapy." Currently there is no support in the scientific literature for that purpose as advertised. The cesium-137 isotope is used in cancer treatments, for ventricular function and pulmonary imaging studies, industrial radiology, and for food and instrument sterilization Cs137 agents may contain small amounts of Cs133. The biological half-life of Cs in humans ranges from 15 days in infants to 100-150 days in adults. Cesium is readily absorbed across the brush border of the intestines in a manner similar to potassium and most is eventually excreted through the urine and feces. Cesium may occur naturally in mineral waters one study analyzed the Cs concentration in 163 mineral and thermal waters and found the level ranged from 4.5 to 148 μg per liter.Ĭesium can be absorbed after oral ingestion, upon breathing contaminated air and through contact with the skin. Cesium may be used in high-density drilling fluids (oil and gas industry) and may contaminate local water and vegetation Cs has been found in cow's milk. Cesium may bio-accumulate in aquatic food chains higher levels of cesium have been found in Pacific deep-sea fish and local shellfish since the 2011 Fukoshima reactor accident. Natural deposits of Cs ores occur in Main, South Dakota and Manitoba (Bernic Lake), Canada. It is present in the environment only in the stable form of Cs133 the radioactive isotopes 134Cs and 137Cs are not measured or reported by Doctor's Data.

The purpose of this article is not to insult Bungie’s. This will include plot, characters, themes, and more. Otherwise, I’ll be solely focusing on discussing the storytelling mechanics of the expansion. ![]() Gameplay mechanics will only be brought in when narratively relevant. Destiny 2's Lightfall expansion releases on Tuesday, February 28, and it marks a significant development in the story that Bungie has been telling for almost a decade. I love Destiny, something like 3200 hours according to Steam. This is an analysis and critique of Destiny 2: Lightfall as a story. The team at Bungie made this enemy with the goal of being the most horrifying and intimidating combatants in the Destiny universe. Between the numerous open plot threads that have been established years ago, and the presentation of the lore since WQ, Im hella unsatisfied. Non-craftable weapons can also be enhanced, allowing you to level up randomly rolled weapons in much the same way you can with crafted weapons.Ī new challenge: The Witness isn’t the only new foe you’ll face in Lightfall the Tormentors are ready to present a new challenge as well. The penultimate chapter in the Light and Darkness saga, Lightfall introduces the hidden Neptunian city of Neomuna to Destiny 2s collection of patrol zones. While fewer total weapons will be craftable, many new weapons will have reliable long-term sources, with you receiving value from random perk roles. Updated weapon crafting: Weapon crafting gives Guardians the opportunity to customize their arsenal and Lightfall is giving players a fresh look at weapon progression and selection. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s some crossover with the ‘Dirt & Scratches’ filter (which I’m not using this time), and again you’ll need to spend a little time with the different styles to see which one you like best – use the Strength slider in the tools panel on the right if the effect isn’t strong enough. This creates the appearance of various textured, corroded or stained glass plates. 07 Photo Plateįinally, I’m going to add the Photo Plate effect. Light leaks take a little more trial and error because you really can’t tell how the ‘leaks’ are going to interact with the picture until you try them out. Here again I can choose from different types of light leak with the pop-up menu in the panel in the right sidebar, then click on a thumbnail to see the effect on the image. The Frames panel has a pop-up menu for different frame types, and I’ve gone for one of the ‘Film Strip’ frame effects. They’re combined ‘in parallel’ rather than one after the other. You can re-edit these effects at any time, and they’re always stacked in the same order, by the way, so you don’t have to worry about which one you do first. Again, the right sidebar now displays the Frames panel, with the Film Type and Bokeh panels collapsed. Next, I’ve added the Frames effect from the Camera Kit panel on the left. Over in the Bokeh panel on the right I can use the Blur Slider to get just the right amount of defocusing around the edges. I’ve decided the radiator grille and headlamps are the focal point for this picture, so I’ve dragged the bokeh gadget to the centre of the grille, elongated it vertically and narrowed the sides. You need to try to image where the plane of focus would be if the picture had been shot on a camera with limited depth of field. Analog Efex Pro is brilliant at analog/darkroom effects, while Color Efex Pro is a hugely. The Bokeh effect displays an on-screen gadget for controlling the shape, position and fade/feather for the blur.

Now I’ve added the Bokeh effect (circled) in the Camera Kit panel on the left, and the Bokeh tools panel now appears in the right sidebar. ![]() ![]() ![]() The divemasters were awesome, but the other two crew members on each dive boat seemed to have little experience. The deck of the ship and the platform by the hot tub (which is really only salt water, sun heated, and luke warm at best) are extremely slippery, causing three dangerous falls that left huge bruises. Then they got stuck on a reef and the boat did not have reverse to get off the reef. The crew who was on board the boat did not know how to run the boat. One evening, the dive boat drifted away from the dive site and three of our group had to swim long distances in rough water to get to it. One of the dive boats broke down several times, stranding our divers. Also, the toilets only flushed sometimes. During our stay, the air conditioning only worked part of the time. Captain Lance has amazing knowledge of the wrecks and gave us detailed briefings before every dive. It is not to be missed if you're a diver! We were on the SS Thorfinn, and unfortunately did not have a very good experience. Blue Lagoon: Some damage but still operating divesĭiving is currently very silty and there is some slight damage to the shallower wrecks (one of the Fujikawa masts is now leaning at 45 degrees) but still very much a world-class dive site!!Įverything you may have read about the wreck diving in Chuuk is true. ![]() Check with the operator regarding future bookings Siren - currently sat up on the reef and reporting extensive damage. Check with the operators regarding future bookings Not currently operating, no injuries reported. Odyssey - currently sat up on the reef and reporting extensive damage. (some sites say Thorfinn is missing - it's not - I'm a guest on board and we're currently sat highly visibly in the middle of the lagoon) Built for open oceans, there was no damage or injuries and dives were operating the following day - no impact on ongoing operations. SS Thorfinn rode out the storm and is fully operational. The intention of this review is to update, and dispel some myths about the status of the dive operations after Typhoon Maysak ploughed through on 29th March 2015 3 days in and each of my dives has been 'the best ever' - the wrecks are out of this world! Go to Truk Stop if you need trimix for technical dives, but otherwise, you'd be mad not to spend the diving trip of a lifetime aboard the Odyssey.įirst of all - Truk is incredible. There are three other main options (the Thorfinn, Blue Lagoon Resort, and Truk Stop). And if you are going to do it, you really should do it on the Odyssey. Most people travel for nearer to 36 hours.īut Truk really is somewhere that every scuba diver should go to at least once. Even Australia, which is comparitively close, is more than a 24 hour journey. Secondly, wherever you live in the world, Chuuk is a heckuva trip to get there. Firstly, it isn't cheap but even given the price, I do think it represents good value for money (try costing out 4 or 5 nitrox dives a day from a land based operation in Chuuk.). ![]() And I have been around the proverbial block a few times. I fully appreciate that gushing reviews always look a bit suspicious, but I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable week's diving of my entire life. The Odyssey keeps a reasonable set schedule, rotating around the key wrecks of the lagoon (a typical week takes you across 13 different wrecks), but if you have a burning desire to visit somewhere off the beaten track, they will launch the skiff and take you. ![]() Whatever you want.) What is even more amazing is that they accomplish this in Chuuk, which (if you spend any time on land) you quickly realise is a pretty backward place. First timer who wants a guide holding your hand? No probs. The crew is extremely relaxed about letting you dive your own way (Deco? No probs. 16 guests is a very modest number for the total space available. But the Odyssey is more like living off a mini cruise ship. Liveaboards usually have a well-deserved reputation of being cramped places, with dodgy food, that give you a positive incentive to spend as much time underwater as possible. There are really four ways to diveTruk Lagoon - stay in one of the two hotels (Truk Stop and Blue Lagoon) and dive from shore, or stay on one of the two liveaboards (ss Thorfinn and Truk Odyssey). It was the quality of the Truk Odyssey that was a real shock to me. So I won't waste time here gushing about the quality of the diving. Let's get something out the way first - the diving in Truk Lagoon is spectacular. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s not all of who I am, and I’m not here just because I’m a woman. However, even though I may not still be running with a track team, I still hold the values and mentality that my high school track team has taught me. (I wasn’t being lazy, I have a double major and minor, so there was virtually no way for me to give 100% to both). It broke my heart when academics got in the way my freshman year of college, and track no longer became an option for me to participate in. To be on a team like that is also to be a part of an incredibly supportive and talented community. It not only taught me physical strength but emotional strength and the importance teamwork as well. Track, at N.P.H.S., was honestly one of the best things to ever happen to me and I wish I would have joined soon in high school. As it turned out, not choosing to run high school track and field earlier in my high school year was a big mistake. I ran track in middle school and figured why not try it out in high school as well. I played soccer for a solid thirteen years and never made it off of the junior varsity team. ![]() Sometimes life can be disappointing, though. Soccer quickly became my favorite past time, and actually lasted with me up through my sophomore year of high school. I thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of putting on the shin pads, the jersey, lacing up my soccer cleats and playing out with all my friend on the field. My favorite childhood athletic activity was soccer. As the only fourth grader who was 5’9’’, the gymnast life was also not the right fit for me. I even tried out gymnastics for a few years. I wasn’t terribly coordinated, patient, or quiet, so golf was also not the sport for me. I tried ballet, but little three-year-old me got bored too quickly and decided to terminate that route, (kudos to my friends who stuck with dance because it really is a beautiful thing). So rest assured, you'll steal everyone's attention while trick-or-treating on October 31.I started out my athletic career trying out multiple different options.

When on is the subject of an active sentence, we don’t use par or de to add an object to the passive sentence, because this also has a passive meaning Example: On a volé des diamants chez le bijoutier. The driver of the car is known to the police. Some examples of verbs used with de in the passive are: accablé de overwhelmed by, aimé de loved by, bordé de bordered by, connu de known to, craint de feared by, décoré de decorated with, detesté de hated by, entouré de surrounded by, estimé de esteemed by, étonné de shocked by, frappé de shocked by, haï de hated by, ignoré de ignored by, oublié de forgotten by, respecté de respected by, surpris de surprised by Example: Le conducteur de la voiture est connu de la police. If the passive sentence includes a verb that describes a state or a feeling, we use the preposition de to introduce the agent. Example: Un homme a été renversé par une voiture. ![]() The agent of the sentence is usually introduced by par, similar to the English by. It’s terrible that a man is hit by a car. Subjonctif – Il est terrible qu’un homme soit renversé par une voiture. Passé composé – Un homme a été renversé par une voiture. Futur simple – Un homme sera renversé par une voiture. Examples: Imparfait – Un homme était renversé par une voiture. (As opposed to the passive: Cross country is run by Michela.)

The passive can be used in all tenses as well as in the subjunctive mood (le subjonctif). Use active voice when you want to be clear. The statements are taken down by the police.
