[ [ "Early Space Race Era\nI agree it can be doable (with a lot of luck) at steam power era but will need a massive effort akin to put the man on moon, maybe even requiring a international task force. Below I will list some challenges were are not pointed in previous answers.\nWhy not in the age of sail?\nBecause we never got an age of sail for start. At sec XV we unified some kingdoms and they started a tech race akin to the space race to finally develop oceanic navigation. At sec XVI we founded colonies in the new world and it pushed the navigation development and with the growth of the colonies culminated in the \"Age of Sail\". Without those elements OP super earth most likely skiped it entirely.\nA Fearsome Sea\nThe size of this Ocean will bring a lot of weather and climate challenges. You can expect winds, tides and currents to be way bigger. Also expects typhoons to be cataclysmic. The tides per se will be a good challenge for the building of ports. The tsunami size weaves can make even fishing impossible in large coastal areas. The sea conditions will be nasty, even in good weather and impossible in bad weather. Navigation will be a really dangerous business. Also the sea conditions will make coastal erosion a thing. I ever wonder if most of coastal will be of massive cliffs.", "308" ], [ "All those factos summed make me wonder coastal cities will be almost entrenched in big natural harbours and important sea trade routes will be exclusively between cities in bays (the only place where is possible to build a big port anyway) and where the route travels along a, most time, very peacefull chunk of the ocean.\nLots of Trains & Planes but no Fleet\nThe size of the continet this points out railroads will be in demand early ans planes too but navigation will be very limited in all aspects, speacially in tech. This leads to a strange scenario where we will hit industrial age and even space age skipping sail age.\nThe Dark Side\nThe Moon is a great target for mankind aspiration, from dawn of time we can see it but we cannot reach it. We dreamed to land here a million times. But what if for millenia we do know Super-Terra has a dark side out of reach? Once scientist proves we can launch a object in orbit and retrieve it the first thing to be flung out will be a camera to take pictures of the uncharted lands. Once the first pictures are retrieved be sure it will trigger a space/exploration/colonization race.\nAge of New World\nThe reason the new continent will spring a sort of space race is to gather data from the land, not only a coastal line but weather a major biomes, moutains ranges, rivers. Everything necessary for future settlers. Also a new tech race on navigation will sprung. Visionaries will dream of under-water-boats, starting the project of the (probably first) submarine. Long-range-any-weather-transocenic ships will gain the status today we grant to a mission to Mars. It will bring a new age.\nWhat if there already people here? They are probably in another phase in tech development, even using a different \"tech tree\" but fact we reached them first. Also yes its unlikey but possible small grups can end strained here but OP can wave a complex geologial/ice age to explain it. Maybe thermals isles of heat making a sort of ring of fire connecting boths continents in immemorial times. What in that case the answer instead can be Ice Age", "99" ] ]

[ [ "In a complete general framework, probably as you know, you can define an hamiltonian system as a dynamical system whose vector field reads: $$[X_{H}(x)]{i}= {x{i},H} $$ where $$x=(q_{1},...,q_{n},p_{1},...,p_{n})=(q,p)$$ is a vector of the phase space $\\Gamma$ (that is practically always an Hilbert space), ${ ; }$ is a Poisson Bracket that satisfies the usual properties and $H=H(x)$ is the Hamiltonian of the system, defined on the phase space. A really important object that one can define, is the so-called Poisson tensor, defined as: $$J_{jk} = {x_{j},x_{k}}$$ Note that from this definition is obvious that $J$ has got the same skew-symmetry property of the <PERSON> brackets: this is fundamental in order to redefine a formulation of any Hamiltonian system in terms of $J$. At this point, without enter a lot in details, one can develope what is written above redefining the <PERSON> brackets in terms of the Poisson tensor and in this way one can write a complete general form of the <PERSON> equation of ANY Hamiltonian system: $$\\dot{x} =J(x)\\nabla_{x}H(x)$$ where $J$ is the Poisson tensor and the notation $\\nabla_{x}$ means that the gradient acts on a vector of the phase space $x$.

These functions describe the invariace of your system. The main point (that i hope can answers to your question) is easy to understand just from the definition of a <PERSON> invariant and is that ANY Hamiltonian system that is described by the same Poisson tensor, has got the same <PERSON> invariants (i.e the same symmetry)! Is not correct the way in which your are posing your question, beacause every Hamiltonian system has got a well defined algebra of functions $A(\\Gamma)$ whose bilinear product is a <PERSON> bracket that satisfies the usual properties that you know: if is not possible to define a <PERSON> bracket you can't have any Hamiltonian system. It's not meaningful what you are asking for beacause the definition of the classical Hamiltonian algebra is really general and , i repeat, well-defined in any case. In other words, the Hamiltonian algebra defined on the phase space doesn't count if you are talking about invariance and symmetries of an Hamiltonian system but, as i wrote to you above, the main instrument in order to characterize this fact is the Poisson tensor of the system: the same Poisson tensor -> the same Casimir(symmetries)", "976" ] ]

[ [ "For those who have never had the pleasure of personally doing this, see this video. It has been known since 1807 that dissolving sodium in liquid ammonia results in a beautiful color. It was originally thought the color was due to some familiar complex instead of a solvated electron. A similar phenomenon happens with other alkali metals in ammonia.\nResearch in the field says that it takes, at least, forty some ammonia molecules to solvate a given electron. Metstable cavities form and their stability could depend highly on electrostatic interactions to solvate our electron. Ammonia will slowly react by evolving hydrogen gas,\n$$ 2NH_3 + 2e^- \\rightarrow H_2 + 2NH_2 ^-$$\nDifferences in solvent can play a huge role in the stability of our solvated electron. An analogous decomposition occurs in water, $$ 2H_2O + 2e^- \\rightarrow H_2 + 2 HO^- $$\nFamously the latter occurs faster than the former, see here in comparison to my earlier link.", "979" ], [ "We could say that these differences in rate reflect different stabilities of our solvated electron. Although, the addition of an appropriate catalyst to our ammonia will result in rapid evolution of hydrogen.\nA more quantitative description for the difference in energies is obtained by measuring the UV-vis spectrum for a solvated electron in both water and ammonia. One will quickly notice that the band appears at higher energies in water than it does in ammonia and there are considerable differences in the band shapes (the band is wider in ammonia).\nSo Why Do They Differ\nSo here I have to make the disclaimer that no current theories quantitatively reproduce the observed phenomena, such as the absorption spectrum for a solvated electron. This question has no established/accepted answer as it is an ongoing area of research.\nThe self-ionization of water has an equilibrium constant on the order of K = $10^{-14}$ and that of ammonia is on the order of $10^{-30}$. Hydronium formation occurs in the case of water and ammonium in the case of ammonia. Hydronium has a considerably lower pKa than ammonium and so it's reasonable to see why a reaction in water would be more likely with an electron. (Ammonia rarely produces a weakly acidic species, but water often produces a strongly acidic complex.)\nA slightly deeper reason may be that water forms more ordered local domains/structures in solution than ammonia and this influences the rate by resulting in a larger entropy of activation when the hydrolyzed electron breaks up these larger structures, recall that $k \\propto \\exp (\\Delta S ^\\ddagger /R) $.\nJust speculation though.", "979" ] ]

Diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria have a greater detrimental impact on the poorest countries of Africa and a lack of investment in products targeting these diseases by pharmaceutical companies is a major problem.\nSecondly, research conducted by African scientists will serve to develop research capacities in Africa and an increased role for science and technology can only be beneficial to the continent's economic development.\nDr. <PERSON> is the director of the Central Laboratory at Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ). He grew up in Lusaka, Zambia in the 1990's just as the AIDS epidemic began to take a major toll on the national health. He left Zambia to pursue higher education in the United States in Louisiana, then Indiana. He conducted his own research on the HIV virus as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania before deciding to go back home in order to make an impact on Zambian healthcare.\nGlobal Voices discussed both the future of medical research in Zambia and the things that the media gets wrong about such research in Africa with Dr. <PERSON>.

Supplies are expensive and take months to be imported from other countries.\nGV: What are the public’s opinions towards science and scientists in Africa?\nRW: There is interest, but an extremely limited understanding of the scientific method.

If you enjoy a fun game that requires some thinking, this is for you 👍\nSupplies\n1 x Qwirkle game\n1 x Router, ideally mounted in a table\nAppropriate sized router bit or bits in my case (more info to follow)\nWood glue, I used Gorilla\n5 Minute epoxy glue, again I used Gorilla\nOhhh, don't forget the 432 magnets, I bought mine from www.first4magnets.com\nStep 1: The Problem & the Brainwave.\nThe problem (as I saw it) is that the pieces when laid don't always line up correctly, they can get knocked out of alignment very easily and when you're trying to slot a piece into a gap somewhere all sorts of non-alignment carnage can ensue.\nNow I do realize that I can be more than a little picky at times but this does bother me.\nBut I had a brainwave, 'I know, I'll just add magnets'...\nI did a little working out (sketch) just to check that no matter the order of placement a North Pole would always line up with a South Pole. I'm pleased to say my thinking was correct.\nStep 2: Magnet Choice\nOne of my concerns about adding the magnets was that as you move a piece into place the other pieces would move to meet the new piece.\nWith this in mind I went for one of the smallest magnets I could find that would still have enough strength to hold the played pieces in place.\nThe Qwirkle pieces are 12 mm (0.47 inch) wide, so I went for a 4 mm (0.16 inch) round magnet as this would give plenty of space either side of the routed hole. On the website I was searching there were three different thicknesses, I went for the 1 mm (0.039 inch), there are then two different strengths, N42 or N35 I went for the slightly lower strength N35 version.\nThis is the exact magnet I went for 4 mm diameter x 1 mm thick N35 Neodymium Magnet, with 0.16 kg Pull\nAs this was a complete guess I'm very pleased to say that this strength was perfect.\nStep 3: Making the Router Jig\nFor repeatability but more importantly safety I decided to make a quick jig for routing out the holes.\nIn my router table I have a T track which I used to secure a piece of 5 mm (0.2 inch) plywood over the router, to make the hole in the plywood I raised the router up through the ply while turned on. This makes sure the bit is perfectly centred.\nNext was to mark up and attached the guides for the locator, this was done by measuring the pieces width and depth and marking that out on the ply.\nI used some pieces of thinker ply offcuts as the surrounds, these were stuck down using Gorilla wood glue.\nStep 4: This Is Where the Madness Starts...\nWith 108 individual Qwirkle pieces there are 432 sides that need routing.\nThis is where I made my first mistake, I originally tried using an 8 mm (0.31 inch) router bit but this was way too big and allowed for too much inaccuracy in the magnet placement.", "622" ], [ "Thankfully I checked this before routing out too many pieces only doing 7.\nI changed the router bit out for a 6 mm (0.24 inch) one, this was much better for magnet placement accuracy but had a different issue. The cutter has a blade on each side but these don't meet in the middle, leaving a small nubbin in the centre of the hole. This meant that after routing out 432 sides I had to change out for a 3.2 mm (0.13 inch) bit and re-route all 432 side again.\nThe trick here was to make sure that the face of the piece was always facing towards myself, this ensured the hole was always in exactly the same place. After all, the most important part about this whole thing was making the pieces line up when played.\nStep 5: Madness Part 2... Glueing\nWith all 864 routing passes done it was now time for the glue up.\nThis took more than a bit of practice but check out the video for the final process.\nFirstly I aligned all the magnets so they were all north to south, this meant I was able to take one off the bottom of the stack and know it was correctly orientated.\nNext mix up a blob of two part epoxy.\nThe procedure was then as follows...\n1.", "599" ] ]

[ [ "Catalan Clock\nIntroduction: Catalan Clock\nIn Catalan time is read a bit differently than in most other languages. At 00:00, is twelve o'clock, but after that time is not said as \"amount of time that passed or that is missing until the next hour\", but as \"fraction of the current hour (which by english standard will be the next one)\".\nSo at 00:15, is *un quart d'una* which translate to \"a quarter of one\"\n00:30 -> \"dos quarts d'una\" -> \"two quarters of one\"\n00:45 -> \"tres quarts d'una\" -> \"three quarters of one\"\nThis implies that from 00:01 to 01:00, we are living in the hour 1, and next minute we start the hour 2, and the in-betweens are tipically refered as one quarter, two quarters and three quarters of that hour.\nSo 02:30 will be \"dos quarts de tres\" -> \"two quarters of 3\".\nTo be a bit more precise, we also use \"i5\" and \"i10\" which translates to \"and 5\" and \" and 10\", but can be used with each number between 1 and 15.\nSo\n03:20 -> \"un quart i cinc de quatre\" -> \"one quarter and five (minutes) of 4\".\n03:25 -> \"un quart i deu de quatre\" -> \"one quarter and ten of four\"\n04:42 -> \"dos quarts i dotze de cinc\" -> \"two quarters and twelve of five\"\nThe hours o'clock are called \"en punt\" that would translate literally to \"on point\", and will follow the same system, but if it is not exactly the o'clock you will drop the \"en punt\" qualifier.\n05:00 -> \"les cinc en punt\" -> \"five on point\"\n05:02 -> \"les cinc i dos\" -> \"five and two\"\nSome times you can say it substracting minutes instead of adding them, using \"menys\" as in \"minus\"\n05:10 -> \"un quart menys cinc de sis\" -> \"a quarter minus five of six\"\n06:56 -> \"les 7 menys quatre\" -> \"seven minus four\"\nThe \"i X\" and \"menys X\" qualifiers can also be applied after the amount of quarters of the hour, so\n07:17 can be both\n-> un quart i dos de vuit (one quarter and two of eight)\n-> un quart de vuit i dos (one quarter of eight and two)\n08:42 can be both\n-> tres quarts menys tres de nou (three quarters minus 3 of nine)\n-> tres quarts de nou menys 3 (three quarters of nine minus three)\nSupplies\nPrintable paper, clock mechanism, some meterial to make the needles.\nStep 1: Print the Base of the Clock\nTake the image, and print it on a rigid surface (or on a regular paper if you have already a clock with a surface where you want to place it).\nCut the paper in a shape that fits the clock you want.\nStep 2: Cut the Needles\nThe trick with this clock is that the needles rhat clocks usually work with will not be good, so you will need to make an extension for the short one, as we want it to reach the limit of the clock, and make a small one to change the original long one for it.\nIn this case I added a piece of cardboard to the shord one, and made a new one with a piece of plastic, but any material will work, as long as it sticks to the mechanism.\nStep 3: Check the Time\nCheck which time it is, and put your new clock acordingly, now you can start reading the time in catalan, and leave your friends astonished!!!", "312" ] ]

It seems that you are still confused by some basic concepts in Coq.\nI would suggest you start with Software Foundations. Most of your questions would be answered there.\nBut, basically:\n* Definition and Fixpoint are like OCaml's let and let rec, respectively. They are used to define values and functions (and, of course, propositions).\n* Inductive is like type in OCaml, or datatype in SML. They are used to define algebraic data types (or \"inference rules\").\n* Prop is the sort of propositions, so Definition and Inductive that return Props are defining propositions (i.e., \"proof rules\"). The Definition and Inductives are not themselves proofs.\n* <PERSON>, Theorem, Corollary, etc...are used for proofs.\n* Coq is based on the <PERSON>-Howard correspondence: a proof of the proposition $A \\rightarrow B$ is a function that takes something of type $A$ and produces something of type $B$, a proof by induction corresponds to a recursive function, etc.", "904" ], [ "A proof of $A = B$ is obtained by transforming both sides and applying the only constructor of the type $=$, which is Refl of x * x (not Coq syntax, but you should get it).

You can use Definition and/or Fixpoint to write proofs, or use Proof to write programs. Of course, you should not do so; but you can.\n* CompCert is indeed proved against a formal specification. Which one? The official C programming language specification! Of course, you can't really prove anything against the text of the specification, so they encoded the specification in Coq using Definitions and Inductives.\nIn Software Foundations, there are examples of verifying a few toy interpreters and some toy programs, as well as more serious examples of verifying algorithms like red-black tree insertions and graph coloring. It does a pretty good job of explaining what and how to prove when you are writing programs in Coq. I would suggest that you start from there.", "904" ] ]

You can make the whole 26 letters set or choose alphabets of your choice. The kids can learn their alphabets or learn to spell. And it is washable.\nJoin me on another super easy and fun project. Turning something forgotten into something fun!\nSupplies\n1-Any Colored cotton T-shirts for the alphabets.\n2-White and Black Tshirts for the eyes ( optional).\n3-Printed Fonts on a paper\n4-Polyester fiber fillings for stuffing\n5-Needle and white thread\n6-Bobby pins\n7-Measuring tape / ruler\n8-Thin cardboard\n9-Glue gun or fabric glue\nSewing machine\nScissors\nStep 1: Prepping\nFind a font that you like. Preferably one with a thicker stroke. It is easier to sew something that is bigger vs a thinner or smaller design.\n1-Print it to the size you like. I used 650 font size on a A4 paper.\n2-Cut out the font. Turn your Tshirt inside out.\n3-Pinned the design onto the Tshirt.\n4-Follow the font design and cut the Tshirt. Be careful, as you are cutting both layers. Give yourself generous allowance seam. I gave myself about ½ - 3/4 inch width. Sewing with stretchy cotton can be tricky. Having more seam allowance makes it more forgiving of not running out of seam width while sewing.\n5-When you are stitching both design pieces together, remember to leave a section open to turn the right side of the material back to the front. Look at my green letter T, I left a small section the top unsewn.\nThis opening also allows you to stuff your stuffing for your stuffed toy.\nStep 2: Stuffing\n1- After stitching the letter together, trim off excess seam and thread.\n2- Make a slit ( a straight small cut) on corners and turns section.", "316" ], [ "This will make it easier to flip the right side back out.\n3- Start stuffing the letter and finish it with simple whip stich. **Note - Begin the whip stitch by tying a knot in the end of your thread and poke from between the two pieces. This way the knot will be hidden between the two pieces of fabric. Next, poke the needle up through both layers of fabric so the needle and thread come up in almost the same place as in step 1. Pull snugly and start stitching in a slight angle. repeat till you are done with the section you wanted to seal off.\nStep 3: Making the Eyes\nTo make the eyes ( optional) for your alphabets, I used white and black Tshirts.\n1- for larger circle, I can draw on the fabric. Cut out 2 white circles with 2 inches diameter. Draw a smaller circle to guide you with stitching.\n2- for smaller circle and dark colored fabric, I cut out ½ inch diameter circle from the card board and then use it as a guide to cut 2 circles on the black tshirt. Using a cardboard makes it easier when you are cutting small designs.\n3-Use your thread and needle, sew a running stitch ( a basic stitch that goes in and under and in and under on the fabric). I stitched on the smaller circle I drew onto the fabric. It is to help me stitch it more evenly.\n4-Once you have all the stitches done, pull the thread snugly, you can see the seams gathered together to form a ball. Open it back slightly to place a small portion of stuffing inside. Then pull the thread together. Finished with a knot. Do not cut of the thread and needle, we will need it to stitch the eyes onto the alphabet.\n5-Turn the white ball over and glue the black circle on it. The placement of the black circle will give you different characteristics of the finished alphabet.\nStep 4: Finishing the Alphabet\n1-Lastly, stitch the eyes to the alphabet.\nNow if you have enough letters, you can use it to form a word.

Essentially working with the compiler/interpreter to reduce errors and improve processing time.\nThe question comes down to, what benefit does a human brain have for a computer when the two are combined.\nOne situation I can see is a brain greatly aiding a computer is in verifying NLP confidence values when running analysis on a sentence.

[ [ "Convert Old Display Panel Into Sleek Monitor\nIntroduction: Convert Old Display Panel Into Sleek Monitor\nI’m a huge fan of retro gaming and it’s really been a long time playing any sort of games, So I was wondering if I can build a retro gaming setup with raspberry pi and an old display panel. But while building, the idea just spiralled out and I had other ideas to build the retro setup, which I will discuss in the future Instructable.\nSo, instead of shredding down all the work I did so far, I converted the old monitor into a thin-bezel secondary monitor. Already there are plenty of videos/articles around the internet explaining how to convert the LCD panel into a Monitor or a Tv. So we'll focus more on the design and making the display sleek. I think this would be a great project if you are just getting started to work with wood just like me.\nSupplies\nThis is the list of products that can help you do this project with ease\n(Affiliate Link)\n* 3d printer: https://amzn.to/3trVWKw\n* printer upgrades: https://amzn.to/3hbK3Ga\n* Black filament: https://amzn.to/3orgpiA\n* Glue gun:https://amzn.to/2WiuKUa\n* Screws: https://amzn.to/3vdF1zj\n* drill: https://amzn.to/3yYFA0S\n* jigsaw: https://amzn.to/3zweaRD\n* Isopropyl alcohol: https://amzn.to/3BdokHS\n* Black Spray paint: https://amzn.to/3z3Wxaf\n* V59 universal board / inverter / LVD cable: https://amzn.to/3J1e9YN\n* TV base stand: https://amzn.to/3otKnTi\nStep 1: LCD Panel\nI got this LCD panel from an old LG monitor that I borrowed from a friend. If you like you can also buy the same LCD panel directly from various vendors, but that doesn’t seem too exciting and it doesn’t do any justice for a DIY project so, I highly recommend getting a used monitor or a monitor with a broken display controller.\nThat’s right, I mentioned broken controller because in this build I will use a v59 universal driver board to control the LCD panel, by which we get a variety of options like HDMI, VGA, audio port , USB media, etc. To confirm if the driver is compatible with your LCD panel just look at the back, for the model number.", "33" ], [ "Which will help in confirming the compatibility with the universal driver. After confirming the compatibility, make sure to get an inverter as well, which will supply the power for the back light. If you like to buy the similar driver and the inverter I have given the link for both in the on the supply section.\nStep 2: Wood Working\nFor the rest of the construction I’m going to use a ¾ inch wood, which will act as the support, frame and the housing for the driver and inverter. Start with cutting the support frame with the same dimension as the LCD panel [Might vary depending on the display you have], to keep the footprint, small as possible. Then make a small cut out in the middle which will act as the housing for the electronics [Also depends on the size of the circuit you have].\nThen don't forget to drill a few holes in the bottom for the plastic stands which we’ll later include in the build.\nTo separate the LCD panel and the electronics between the cut out, I’m going to use this 3mm wood [from one of my old project] and make some slots and holes to pass through wires between the driver and the LCD panel.\nOnce you have placed everything in place and feels good move on to painting.\nStep 3: Painting\nFirst, start with masking the LCD panel with newspaper and painter's tape. In my case, I used insulation tape, which was a very bad idea because of the marking that was left on the LCD panel.\nI used black acrylic paint for the panel and the wooden frame.\n[Note: Be careful not to get the paint on the display]\nStep 4: Cleaning\nOnce the painting is done, remove the newspaper carefully without damaging the LCD panel.

That's when i got the inspiration to make the flames on the back of the balrog glow from flexible LEDs filaments and use silicone glue to shape the flames. The balrog model is holding a flame sword and i modified the file so that the balrog will be holding his glowing flaming whip which we can also use the flexible LED filaments.\nIn order to power all the LEDs, im going to modified the balrog base and put a powerbank with a switch on it. As usual all modifications was done using Tinkercad and 3d printed. This time i'm using a mix of normal FDM 3d printer and a DLP resin 3d printer. Im using DLP resin printer cause the model is only 18cm-ish and the detail will be lost if im using FDM printer.\nDifficulty level:\n1. 3D printing - Easy\n2. Assembly - Intermediate (we'll be using hot glue gun.. need to be careful of hot silicone glue)\n3. Wiring - Easy\n4. Painting - Intermediate (we'll be using a mix of airbrushing and normal brush)\nP.S. getting the wiring to fit into the model channel is gonna be challenging..\nSo lets get started..\nSupplies\n1. LED flexible filaments- 26cm long x 2\n2. TP4056, DC-DC buck converter - USB to lithium battery with protection\n3. Lithium battery 18650 3.7v\n4.

Both flexible LEDs will be wired parallel to the USB lithium converter.\nThere are 3 body parts that will need wiring running throught them\n1. Tail & body - AWG24 or AWG18\n2. Right hand - AWG24 only\nYou can use AWG24 wires to run all the channel but you cant use AWG18 since the wire is too big to feed into the right hand.\nWhen you wire the body to tail to powerbank, make sure to have a lot of slack for easy wiring later on.. i added like 15cm extra wire that came out of the tail..\nRun a set of wires from the right hand to the back of the body and run another set of wires from the tail to the back of the body. The right hand channel is slightly small so you'll have to wiggle the wires until it runs though the channel\nThe wire that comes out of the tail needs a lot of slack so it can go thought the base and connect to the powerbank.\nStep 3: Base With Powerbank\nMaking the powerbank is quite straight forward.\nBase on the picture you should be able to understand how i wired everything.\nMake sure to solder all the wires connected to the USB charger first before anything else.\nThe rocker switch should be last.\nI glued everything down using silicone glue to keep them in place.\nOnce done..", "996" ] ]

Idle fantasies of terrorizing various denizens on the island of Honshu while battling other titanic monstrosities which are just as ridiculous as you, then you likely live a life of disappointment in a long line of games that have promised you heady excitement, only for it to miserably fail to deliver after you have listened to its slowly expressed box fart.\nYou may have even likely grown to believe that since you are a daikaiju fan, that you don't deserve anything more than garbage shoveled on to you. Always waiting for this dysfunctional cycle to end in hopes of a healthy relationship to finally come your way after enduring such sublime pain, for so very long.

The list is as limitless as the human desire to convey imagination and creativity.\n\"But, what about me?!?\" I hear you cry, dear kaiju enthusiast?

Thus, they make a poor foundation for programming languages. You are also not correct that the TM is the basis of imperative PLs: in reality, good imperative programming languages are much closer to $\\lambda$-calculus than they are to Turing machines.\nIn terms of computability, $\\mu$-recursive functions, Turing machine, and the untyped $\\lambda$-calculus are all equivalent. However, the untyped LC has good properties that none of the other two have. It is very simple (only 3 syntactic forms and 2 computational rules), is highly compositional, and can express programming constructs relatively easily. Moreover, equipped with a simple type system (e.g., System $F\\omega$ extended with $\\mathsf{fix}$), the $\\lambda$-calculus can be extremely expressive in that it can express many complex programming constructs easily, correctly and compositionally. You can also extend the $\\lambda$-calculus easily to include constructs that are not lambdas. None of the other computational models mentioned above give you those nice properties.\nThe <PERSON> machine is neither compositional nor universal (you need to have a TM for each problem). There are no concepts of \"functions\", \"variables\" or \"composition\". It is also not exactly true that TMs are the basis of imperative PLs - FWIW, imperative PLs are much, much closer to lambda calculi with control operators than to Turing machines. See <PERSON> \"A Correspondence Between ALGOL 60 and Church's Lambda-Notation\" for a detailed explanation.

Moreover, the $\\mu$-recursive functions only compute over $\\mathbb{N}$, and to compute over anything else you'd need to encode your data into natural numbers using some sort of <PERSON> numbering, which is painful.\nSo, it is not a coincidence that most programming languages are somehow based off the $\\lambda$-calculus! The $\\lambda$-calculus has good properties: expressiveness, compositionality and extensibility, that other systems lack. However, Turing machines are good for studying computational complexity, and $\\mu$-recursive functions are good for studying the logical notion of computability. They both have outstanding properties that the $\\lambda$-calculus lacks, but in the field of programming $\\lambda$-calculus clearly wins.\nIn fact, there are many, many more Turing complete systems out there, but they lack any outstanding property whatsoever. Conway's Game of Life, LaTeX macros, and even (some claim) DNA are all Turing complete, but no one programs (i.e. do serious programming) with Conway or studies computational complexity using LaTeX macros. They simply lack good properties. Turing complete per se is nearly meaningless when it comes to programming.\nAlso, many non-Turing complete computational systems are very useful when it comes to programming. Regular expressions and yacc are not Turing complete, but they are extremely powerful in solving a certain class of problems. Coq is also not Turing complete, but it is incredibly powerful (it's actually considered much more expressive than its Turing complete cousin, OCaml).

As you all know that we have different sized planets... Some are really big like jupotar... And some are like very small like venues... And we have the sun.. Which is way larger than any other planet in our solar system in size comparison..... So it's almost impossible to make all the planets in their actual proportion.... With the sun in original proportion.... To solve that problem I have scaled every planet and the sun in manageable and quite OK sizes.....

If the clay isn't mixed well... It will cause problem in the hardening process... So make sure that the clay is mixed well.... And if you are using epoxy clay like me.. Then it will start getting warmer and will start to solidify....\nSo be quick...\nStep 3: Forming the Planets\nMake a long piece from that mixed epoxy clay.. And then simply take a part from it...\nStart rolling the clay and form a sphere..... The diameter should be 23 mm (roughly)... If you are using my dimensions..\nThis will be the sun.... At first the sphere will not be perfect...", "733" ], [ "Make a rough shape.. And then shape it later...\nAs like the sun...

You can occasionally roll them further to make them more round...\nStep 5: Start Preparing the Base\nTake a circle of cardboard with a radius of 7 cm...\nAnd matching cardboard stripes with a width of 3.5 cm\nNow... Using hot glue... Attach the outer ring around the circle... Use a 2nd piece of needed...\nStep 6: Drilling Into the Planets\nTake a drill bit of the same size of the wooden sticks..\nDrill in the spheres...\nDrill only halfway.... Dont drill through the planets....\nI will suggest you to leave Mercury and other small planets....\nAfter drilling take 9 equal sized small wooden sticks (1.5 cm each)\nUsing hot glue... Fix the sticks in the planet...\nAnd for the smaller planets.... Just simply stick the planets in the sticks using superglue\n. Let the glue dry for some time...\nStep 7: Prime the Planets\nAfter the planets are on their respective sticks....\nPrime the planets with white acrylic paint...\nUse 2 coats.... And dry them as well\nStep 8: Finish the Planet Colouring\nNow... It's the fun part...\nDownload some reference images of the solar system and the individual planets...\nTake your time and paint the planets as shown in the pictures.... I'm not perfect... But I tried...\nAlso in this step you have to do 2 more things...\n1. Add a outer ring around the Saturn.... Made with normal paper.. And paint that as well...\n2.

Many animal models and cell lines have served as gold standard tools for biomedical researchers to investigate biological functions in laboratories. Yet, many vital bio-activities such as hormones production rely on fluid dynamics to propagate signalling molecules at the right place and time throughout the body. In investigating such long-range communication mechanisms, a need exist to precisely mimic and control physiological fluid environments in laboratory settings. As a result, many commercial pumping systems are now available:\n* Programmable syringe pump system *\n* Peristaltic Pumping system *\n* Pressure controller system **\nYet, commercial solutions come highly expensive and are difficult to customize based on application requirements. As a result, various low-cost open source solutions have recently emerged in the literature:\n* Open-source syringe pump system **\n* Pressure controller *\n* Piezoelectric pumping system *\nAlthough being low cost and easily customizable, open-source solutions lack an intuitive user interface allowing to easily adjust pumping parameters without modifying the underlying source code of the system.\nProject Objectives / Scope\nThe present project aims to improve the design of the PiFlow system by designing a graphical user interface to be displayed on an LCD touch screen display to adjust flow rate parameters easily.

Orbital Sander\n4. Putty Knife\n5. Shop Vac\n6. Mop\n7. Floor Scrubbing Broom\n8. Lots of Patience\nStep 1: Remove Carpet & Pad\nIn my case, the carpet was in good shape, and I didn't want to throw it away, but keep it if we ever chose to put it back down (or sell the house and leave the option for the next owner). So, I simply pulled it away from the tack strips, rolled it up, and put it in the attic. (The room is slightly larger than 10'X10')\nTIP: If your area is larger and you want to keep the carpet, you can cut the carpet into more manageable pieces by cutting into rectangular shapes and mark the backing with a Sharpie to show how it goes back together. Any good carpet installer can put it back down and seal the seams.\nFor the pad, there's really no reason to try to save it, especially if its glued down as in my case.\n(Forgot to take pictures before removing the carpet.)\nStep 2: Remove Carpet Tack Strips\nI wished I had Googled this before I did it, but there are some techniques to help minimize the size of divets inflicted on the concrete as the masonry nails are pulled free. I recommend looking those up as it will simplify some later steps and help minimize the negative cosmetic effects. I simply popped them off with the 90 degree side of a claw bar.\nStep 3: Prep the Floor\nThis step is mainly just cleaning.", "726" ], [ "Vacuum as you go using a floor scraper to remove as much glue, foam, and drywall texture over spray as you can.\nTIP:Don't put a huge amount of effort into removing the drywall texture over spray by scraping or sanding. Wait till the next step.\nStep 4: Wet Clean\nGet the entire floor fully wet. This will dissolve the drywall mud over spray and you can simply vacuum it up. Repeat this step several times until fully clean.\nStep 5: Detailed Cleaning\nThis is the tedious step where you need to go over every square inch of the concrete surface to remove marks and glue residue. I found 120 grit sandpaper and a lot of elbow grease was needed particularly to get the stubborn glue residue off.\nNOTE: Avoid using cleaners of any kind throughout this entire project. (I was tempted to use some Goo Gone to get the glue off). Any chemical residue, especially acidic residue if you were to use muriatic acid to clean, will react with the sealer, and cause the sealer to become cloudy and not clear. If you read the bad reviews for Wet Look Sealers where the people say it ruined their project; its because they didnt clean it well and had some type of leftover chemical residue.\nWetting the floor as you go helps to show where there is bare concrete and where there is still concrete with some kind of gunk stuck on the surface. This is by far the longest and most tedious step, but also the most important.\nTIP: Wet concrete will show much more details of the surface than dry concrete. Similarly, the sealer will show even more. So what may look like a faded red mark in dry concrete will look like fresh lipstick after sealing, so you can't spend too much time on this step.\nStep 6: Fill Divets\nUse vinyl concrete patch like this from Quikrete. Again, the cleaner the surface the better, so ensure there is no loose debris or dust in the divets. Also, lightly wetting the surface helps the concrete to bond. Use a putty knife to fill and flatten the surface. Let dry overnight.\nTIP: Once the holes are all filled in, use a pressure sprayer or spray bottle with plain water to gently mist the surface every hour or so. The slower concrete dries the better.\nPictures above were some very large holes that were filled in for some reason. (They were actually filled in with drywall mud to make them flush to the surface.) Mistake on the original slab? If anyone knows I'd be interested to learn. It wasn't from an old remodel either. (Use the same patch material and technique used there as for the smaller divets around the perimeter.", "353" ] ]

[ [ "BEAM Solar Powered Pummer (Heart Shaped PCB)\nIntroduction: BEAM Solar Powered Pummer (Heart Shaped PCB)\nThis is a project that I have been meaning to finish for over a year now. it is a heart shaped, BEAM based pummer circuit I made to charge up during the day and flash like a heart beating at night. The solar engine is a SIMD1 solar engine by <PERSON> and the pummer is a modified version of his power saver flasher which flashes 2 LEDs off the one oscillator.\nSee:\nhttp://solarbotics.net/library/circuits/bot_pummer...\nhttp://solarbotics.net/library/circuits/se_noct_SI...\nMy final design lasts about 3 hours from when the sun starts to go down.\nI personally love creating PCBs as a step up from breadboard or perfboard circuits, and I especially like designing PCBs that go a little beyond just connecting components. Hopefully through this Instructable you will see that while a PCB designer such as Eagle can be superbly powerful, creating a functional and aesthetic circuit such as the one presented here can be quick, fun and really accessible. I spent a day designing it all and only spent around $30USD on the PCB and components! Granted I already had assorted resistors, caps, and a soldering iron.\nStep 1: EDIT: What Is a Pummer?\nIt seems in the comments that there is a little confusion as to what a pummer is, which is very fair.\nBEAM robotics is a \"style\" of analogue circuit building, popular in the late 90s and early 2000s. BEAM circuits use minimal, analogue components, often to complete simple and very organic tasks. In BEAM robotics, a pummer is a type of circuit that displays a pattern of lights or sounds.\nSee the Wikipedia pages for a broader overview here:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEAM_robotics\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitter_(BEAM)\nStep 2: Prototyping\nThe first step is to prototype the circuit on a breadboard.", "982" ], [ "I used a design almost exactly the same as Wilf's pummer from the link in step 1 however I replaced a 100k resistor at the output of the pummer with an LED and added a resistor between the output capacitor and the output LEDs to get a less bright, but longer flash. You can see here in the second photo the waveform at the node between the output LED and resistor in Wilf's original design. The peak above 2.2v is where the LED lights and the dip below just dumps charge through the 100k resistor. In my revision seen in photos 3 and 4, both the peak above 2.2v as well as the lower peak create a flash (because the voltage is being regulated to ~2.9v by the blue LED, in photo 4 you can see the other 2.2v difference, this time between the 2.9v rail and the node between the output LEDs). This revision does mean that the reference voltage LED does have to be a higher voltage than your output LEDs (and hence the circuit will run for less time) however there is less wasted charge. I like this way better however 2 oscillators, with the second acting as a slave to the first and using something closer to <PERSON>'s original circuit would also work. Just let me know if I can clarify any of this and excuse the photos of the oscilloscope screen, I had some trouble saving to USB.\nAs I was almost following <PERSON> design exactly, I mostly used this step to calculate what value components I was looking at using to make the flashes beat at a heart-like rate.\nOnce I had the circuit operating as expected I used this circuit to calculate roughly how long my pummer would last once it started flashing at night.\nTo calculate how long our circuit will last we can use 2 formulas based on the charge stored in, and the charge leaving the storage capacitor.\nFirst we know that Q=CV that is, the charge in the capacitor, \"Q\", is equal to the capacitance x the voltage across the capacitor.\nWe also know the formula for current I=Q/t where \"I\" is the current, \"Q\" is charge and \"t\" is time.\nRearranging these we can get I=(C*ΔV)/Δt where \"ΔV\" represents the change in voltage and \"Δt\" change in time (in seconds)\nHence, by measuring the voltage at one point in time and then measuring it again a certain amount of time later (I usually go about half an hour for more accurate results) we know have all the numbers on the right half of the equation and we can see how much current the circuit is drawing from the capacitor on average.", "552" ] ]

Known for his flamboyant style of tossing packets of nuts with great accuracy to spectators scattered all over the stands, <PERSON> has been a fixture of Caribbean cricket since 1971.\nNo sooner had the 2019 CPL tournament started, however, than he put out a video, widely circulated on social media channels, which registered his discontent at being told he could not sell his nuts at the event because Sunshine Snacks, a local conglomerate, was the official sponsor:\nSocial media erupted in support of him, with some posts entreating the Oval to “reinstall this landmark”.\nFacebook user <PERSON> mused:\n[The] Thing is, fellas like Jumbo and Nuts Landing [another nuts vendor] have a grassroots ad campaign that would destroy SS [Sunshine Snacks] in the Oval in an open market…which technically is what capitalism claims to be based on.

For my application, I need to have a specific FOV and I have been trying to build this FOV using off the shelf Fresnel lenses. (my FOV is 200x200mm high at 300mm away from the lens system, I am trying to reflect this to a 2.5x2.5 detector)\nI basically, take an image of my FOV (i.e. assume my FOV is an image) at target distance, I ray trace through three fresnel lenses (F=15, F=15, F=10.2 all same diameter), I position the lenses such that each one is 1 mm away from each other on the same axis.", "791" ], [ "Each one is 2mm thick. The final image of FOV falls on to the detector.\nWhen I measure each lens individually, they all adhere to their spec (ie. focal length), however when I construct my system (really putting one after the other with 1mm gap), I think there is a problem:\n1. The energy collection is not what it is supposed to be (the diameter of the first lens is 10mm, so I expect roughly 10x amplification but I only see around 5)\n2. I take a bright light (white LED) and shine to lens system (at this moment system is in my hand and I am reflecting to a surface) hoping to see a bright image of the source. I do not see the source brightly, if anything it is very weak.\n3. I take out the third lens and use the first two and repeat the bright light experiment and same result, image is brighter compared to three lens but not as bright as a single lens experiment. I assume the loss is about 5% on each surface so this loss on brightness is puzzling.\nNow, does it make sense to do what I am trying to do with Fresnel lenses? Assuming my trace is correct (I am pretty sure it is), where else I should be looking?\nWhat other methods you recommend, I really need a very low cost optical front end to reduce the FOV to detector.", "791" ] ]

Today I'm presenting my version of a custom Macropad with a Raspberry Pi Pico....\nI named this as \"Infinity Macropad 1.1\"....the project is based on the adafruit Circuit Python and runs HID functionality onboard....\nThis Macropad has\n* 20 individual tactile push buttons\n* 3 Rotary encoders\n* 1 Joystick\n* 1 Ws2812b Status RGB LED\n* Micro usb port\n* Inclined kickstand\nI want to make this project completely open source and share the whole setup with everyone free of cost... And for that purpose I need a good amount of help from people who are expert in circuit python programming... Pls help...\n. So without wasting anyone time..lets get started...\nStep 1: Understanding the Project and Chossing Right Microcontroller\nI wanted to make a macropad.. Which will have enough buttons for almost every programs and applications...\nFow which I decided to include 20 buttons, 3 rotary encoder and a joystick... (these encoders and joystick also have their own push buttons...)\nNow.. For making the project... The most powerful but compact microcontroller was the Raspberry Pi Pico...\nStep 2: The Parts We Are Gonna Need...\nFor making the project... We will need these parts. 👇\nComponents\n* 20 tactile switches...(12*12*12 switches)... I could have gone with cherry mx switches... But they are much pricer\n* 3 rotary encoder modules\n* 1 XY joystick module\n* 1 ws2812b led module\n* 20 4148 switching diodes\n* Raspberry Pi Pico\n* 10 * 10 cm zero pcb\n* 5 screws (3mm thick)\n* My 3d files or your own...\nTools\n* 3d printer\n* Fusion 360 or any other CAD software\n* PLA or favorite plastic roll\n* Spray paint (optional)\n* Some random tools\nStep 3: Preparation of the PCB...\nFirstly print my given template for the PCB board...\nCut it out and carefully allign with the board and stick it...\nAfter that using the guide lines... Cut the PCB board... I used my small coping saw... You can use whatever available...\nAfter the cutting is done.. Carefully place the switches in their places... And mark their location on the board...\nStep 4: Adding the Push Buttons...\nNow with the previously made markings... Place the switches in their corresponding places....\nMake sure the placements are perfect.. Otherwise it will be very hard to rectify it later...\nDouble check their placements...\nNow.. Bend 2 legs of the buttons and solder them on the board... You can solder all 4 legs.. But it will increase the confusion...\nStep 5: Placing the Matrix Diodes...\nWe are making a 4*5 button matrix...", "848" ], [ "And for that purpose... We also need some diodes...\nYou can use normal 4007 diodes... But everyone suggest to use 4148 switching diodes... So.. I'm going with them also...\nThe circuit would be look like this... 👇\nMake sure of the polarities of the diodes and the directions of them...\nIn my project.. I places them in two orders... But the wiring is same... It's just to make them tidy...\nUse thin copper wire.. I used 26 gauge wires.. And connected all the columns together..\nThen the drain of the switches to the diode...\nThe output of the diodes together in series... To form 5 individual rows...\nUse reference pictures for better understanding...\nStep 6: Drill the Mounting Holes...\nI did this step after the wiring is done.. Because I'm obviously a professional dumb...\nYou should do this step before the wiring....\nI dodged the bullet in first chance due to my prior thinking and because it's my design.. But it might be devastating for you...\nSo don't make my mistakes...\nI simply drilled the hole with 4 mm drill bit... And as always I messed up the holes... They were not in right spot..anf not perfect round... So I used my rotary tool with a tungsten carbide bit.. And fixed those issues...\nStep 7: Remove the Header Pins... and Paint the Case...\nIt's the time.. When you should remove the male headers from the rotary encoder modules and the joystick modules...\nAlso it's a good time to add wires to them... So you don't have to do them later...\nAfter the wiring is done... It's time for painting the macropad body...\nThough it's a optional step... You can directly print in your desired colour...

[ [ "As @AlexP calculated, the atmosphere needs to be replenished with Radon at 1.25e16 kg/day = 1.45e11 kg/s. Let's have a look at all the numbers.\nThe planet's surface area is around 5.11e14 m^2; for most quantities, it makes sense to consider them per square meter of surface area.\nAt 1.3 atm pressure, Radon gas has a volume of ~ 7.9e-2 m^3/kg, giving a replenishment rate of 1.15e10 m^3/s; each square meter needs to vent 22 milliliters of Radon gas per second.\nThe decay chain of Radon-222 involves many tasty heavy metals and eventually ends in Lead-206, which will accumulate at 1.34e11 kg/s, or 2.63e-4 kg/s per m^2; lead dust will sediment at 2.31e-8 m/s = 2 mm/day or 0.73 m/year.\nThe decay chain starts at U-238, which has a half-life time of 4.5 billion years. To produce 1.45e11 kg/s of Radon-222 would require 3.16e28 kg of U-238 -- 3.1e4 times the mass of your planet, so... U-238 cannot be the origin of the Radon.\nThe next-longest-lived element of the decay chain is U-234 with a half-life time of 245k years, you'd need 1.70e24 kg of that -- still heavier than the planet.\nThe next option is Thorium-230, with a half-life time of 75k years. We'd need just 5.14e23 kg of it, or 51 % of the mass of the planet. As a bonus, its density is around 1.17e4 kg/m^3, very close to the density of the planet. Of course, this means that the planet must be very young - at most 75k years old, and its radon production will greatly reduce in the next tens of thousands of years.\nFinally, decay heat. Over the entire decay chain from Th-230 to Pb-206, a fraction of 1.87e-4 of the mass is released as energy. Some of that will be carried away by neutrinos, but must will heat the planet (inside or in the atmosphere).\nThis is a mass-energy conversion rate of 2.81e7 kg/s or 2.52e24 W, or 0.66 % the power output of the sun.", "921" ], [ "Per area, it's 4.93e9 W/m^2. Earth provides around 8.2e-2 W/m^2.\nAssuming a perfect black body, this means the surface temperature of your planet is 1.72e4 K (T^4 ~ P/A). Of course, this means that the planet will be made entirely of plasma, and evaporate quickly, so unfortunately your idea looks impossible.\nHowever, Radon is a very heavy gas, heavy enough not to mix with the atmosphere too much. On Earth, it likes to accumulate in basements. Conceivably, if your planet has no wind for some reason, Radon might accumulate in the very lowest layers of the atmosphere, maybe just in the lowest 2 meters. If you limited yourself to that, you'd need much less radon, which would mean less heat, less accumulation of lead dust and fewer geothermal vents. Just scale all of the numbers down accordingly - except for temperature. Due to <PERSON>'s law, if you reduce the amount of radon 10000x, you can only reduce temperature 10x.\nIf you're happy with a still-extremely-deadly* 1 ppm of Radon instead of 8.3%, and just confined to the lowest 1/1000th (by mass) of the atmosphere, your planet will be somewhere around room temperature. You could even go for the longer-lived U-238 as source material. You should move the planet well away from the parent star to avoid any extra heating.\n*) 1 ppm of Radon at 1.3 atm has an activity of 1.94 Ci/L, a comfortable 4.9e11 times the EPA action limit.\nIf you really want a radioactive gas that makes up a single-digit percentage of the atmosphere, may I interest you in some other gasses, like H-3? Kr-81? Ar-39?\nI also hear that Unobtainium, a recently-discovered element in the Island of stability, has a density and half-life similar to that of U-238 while decaying directly into a gas that has properties that happen to be exactly right for your story.", "921" ] ]

(If you treat volumetric flow rate as akin to current, and pressure as electric flux density, then using <PERSON>'s equation neglecting gravity, assuming constant area and velocity along a pipe/wire, it all works out).\nvoltage\nWe have a device that can measure \"voltage\" between two points (not just in a circuit but in the air, on the ground, wherever you place the terminals).\nThe first thing is that if we measure the \"voltage\" between A and B, and then between A and C, the voltage between B and C will be the difference between these two—if you freeze time, at least. So this means you can pick whatever reference point you like, then any other point in the universe has a certain electric potential (measured in volts) relative to the reference point. So, there is something in the fabric of space that can be \"stronger\" or \"weaker\" than other parts of space. This is what we call the \"electric field\".\nNote that this is not about electrons. It is possible to have a positively charged plate and a negatively charged plate and a total vacuum in between, but this vacuum will linearly transition from one potential to another. (I.e. the voltage across the left half equals the voltage across the right half.)\nIn a simple electric circuit, each point has a fixed voltage (usually measured relative to \"ground\"). Any loop through the circuit will involve exactly the same amount of \"going up\" as \"going down\".\ncurrent and resistance\nCurrent and resistance are probably more intuitive in the context of electric circuits.", "395" ], [ "Current is roughly speaking a count of how many electrons pass through an area (e.g. the cross-section area of a wire or resistor) per unit time. Resistance is how many volts will produce 1 amp of current flowing \"across a resistor\". Technically this means measuring the voltage between both ends of the resistor, and the current at some cross-section anywhere before, in, or after the resistor. The current will be effectively the same anywhere you you section (not beyond branches in wires of course).\n(Obviously we also have devices that can measure current and resistance; I made a point about measuring voltage because electric fields are the hardest thing to grasp.)\nmore on current and resistance\nWhen electrons are free to flow, they are driven to equalise electric fields. The stronger the field, the more electrons will flow. However, different materials will resist electron flow to different degrees, hence differences in resistance (or rather resistivity). And electrons can be forced to flow the other way—batteries use chemical reactions, and generators use electromagnetism.\nOne way to see how current is proportional to surface area is this: assume you have 1A traveling along a wire, and you have 1A travelling down another wire, that's 2 coulombs per second. If you squash the two wires into one, the surface area will double and you will still have the same number of coulombs per second — 2.", "395" ] ]

[ [ "How to Make a Wood Carved Clock\nIntroduction: How to Make a Wood Carved Clock\nIn this Instructable I will be making a wood carved clock, with a wood spirit's (also known as an old man of the woods) face.\nSome wood carving terminology I will be using:\nA Carving burr - This is the bit that goes in the end of your rotary tool, that actually carves away the wood. There are lots of different brands, but I recommend Kutzall burrs.\nFeathering away - This means if you have cut a valley in the wood, you smooth out the transition from the valley to flat wood.\nIn the first steps I kept the carving as one large log, but if you want to cut a slab to carve straight away, skip to step 6, and then back to step 1.\nSupplies\nTools:\n* A rotary tool, sometimes known as a Dremel.\n* Carving bits/burrs.\n* A drill and drill bit.\n* Orbital sander (optional, but makes sanding much faster), or sandpaper.\nOther supplies:\n* A log or piece of wood.\n* A pencil or pen.\n* Clock module - these can be purchased off an online website like Amazon or e-bay.\n* Epoxy (this is optional, but can be useful for filling cracks).\n* Varnish (this is optional, but it makes the finished carving look much more glossy).\nStep 1: Selecting a Log\nThere will probably be lots of spare wood around you if you or someone you know has a firewood store, or you could carve a piece of store bought wood if you wanted.\nI selected a log that was fairly circular and was a relatively soft type of wood.\nI sanded the top of the log down a bit with an orbital sander, this is an optional step, but makes drawing on the design easier.\nStep 2: Drawing the Base Design\nFirst mark the approximate centre of the log, and then find the direct line across the log that splits the log into two equal parts, or as near as possible to it. This means that the face will not look lop-sided due to the shape of the log.\nMark the place you want your mouth to be, which is where the clock will be coming out of, and place the centre of the clock over this spot. Draw around the outside of the clock module, this is the area that will be recessed out from behind, so you will not be able to carve too deep in this area, or else you will penetrate through and create a hole.\nDraw a line where the eyebrows will go, the eyes will be underneath this line.\nNext draw a line where the base of the nose will be, in the next step we will draw the nose.\nThe eyes will be drawn on later, when the rest of the carving is started, to make it easier to plan out what the eyes are going to look like relative to the whole face.\nStep 3: Drawing the Moustache and Nose\nDraw the outside of the nose by drawing diagonal lines to create two triangles, one on each side of the nose.", "431" ], [ "Now do the same thing but upside down, joining the lines up with other ones.\nFor the moustache, draw two sweeping lines, starting from the bottom of the nose and the top of the mouth and joining them up further down the face to create a moustache. Repeat this process for the other side and tweak the lines and change them until they look even. This is why you draw the lines with a pencil, to allow for changes.\nIf you cannot get the moustache to look even, you can trace one half like I did. If you draw one half of the moustache, it is fairly simple to trace it on to the other half, and bear in mind that you can adjust the moustache while you are carving.\nStep 4: Carving the Outline of the Eyes and Nose\nTo carve the outline of the eyes and nose you carve around the outside of the lines we drew for the nose and carve below the line that we drew for the eyebrows.\nAt the moment you are just carving a valley in the wood, you can take a few passes to get the depth right if you need to, gradually getting deeper and deeper into the wood.\nThe next step is to 'feather away' the wood, by holding the carving burr at an angle to the wood, this will smooth out the transition from the valley to flat wood.\nFeather away the wood that is on the outside of the valley you just carved, this will raise the nose out of the face and carve the eyes deeper.\nStep 5: Carving the Outline of the Moustache\nTo carve the outline of the moustache you repeat the steps for the eyes and nose.", "36" ] ]

[ [ "Okay, I think I am satisfied that the \"partial answer\" I included in the question is the correct answer. The proof of the WW theorem involves matrix elements of the form $$\\langle p|T^{\\mu\\nu}(x)|p'\\rangle, $$ where $|p\\rangle$ is a momentum eigenstate of the spin-2 particle and $p,p'$ are two nearly equal null momenta. The proof relies on this matrix element being nonzero, while it does equal zero for my case of two collinear photons. The operator $T^{\\mu\\nu}$ cannot change the momenta of two different photons, because it is only quadratic in the photon field $A^\\mu$.", "298" ], [ "Therefore the proof does not apply, and such states can of course exist.\nThe reason I was dissatisfied with the answer, and called it only \"partial\", was that I didn't understand why we should be so confident that the above matrix element does not vanish when $|p\\rangle$ is a single-particle state such as an \"emergent graviton\" that is a bound state of other fields. If it can vanish when the underlying particles are not bound, then how do we know that creating a bound state will change things?\nNow I think I get it: the condition $\\langle p|T^{\\mu\\nu}(x)|p'\\rangle\\ne0 $ is basically an intuitive physical requirement. It means that if (hypothetically) there was a an interaction of the form $T^{\\mu\\nu}h_{\\mu\\nu}$ (and of course there is such an interaction, namely gravity, but we do not require this), then a background field $h_{\\mu\\nu}$ with a small gradient could cause slightly changes in the momentum of our particle, making it move along a curved trajectory. This can be taken as a reasonable definition of what is meant by the particle being \"charged under $T^{\\mu\\nu}$\", and this is what is required for the WW theorem to apply.\nThis behavior is also pretty close to what we mean by a state being \"bound\", namely that the different components maintain a shared trajectory when \"pushed around\" by mild forces. But it does not describe particles that just happen to be collinear; in that case the force will tend to spread the trajectories slightly apart.", "298" ] ]

[ [ "Flat Foldable Paper Lamp\nIntroduction: Flat Foldable Paper Lamp\nFor a long time i have wanted to make a paper lamp. When one of my teachers showed me Instructibles and that there was a contest for making something out of paper, I finally got the motivation to sit down and make a proper lamp design. I found some cheap flexible LED lights and used thick paper so that the lamp wouldn’t be too strong. My goal was to create a decent sized mood light for my bedroom. I ended up with this design which i am quite happy about.\nThis is the first time i make an instructables. If there are any steps that are unclear, please let me know and i will try to clearify.\nSupplies\nTools needed:\n* Cutting mat, preferably one with 30- and 60-degree angles marked, if not you will need a protractor.\n* Steel ruler, for cutting along.\n* Plastic ruler, for creasing along.\n* Craft knife.\n* Some tool to crease the paper with.\n* ~160-220g A3 paper. (The LED lights i used where quite strong so 220g paper worked for me). I use 8 pieces in my lamp, but you can make it taller or shorter by adding or removing 2 pieces of paper.\n* Double sided tape. Glue works, but i strongly recommend tape.\n* Pencil and eraser.\n* Pencil compass.\n* Flexible LED strip or any other light source you'd like. I used a 3-meter strip of flexible LED lights.\nStep 1: Cutting the Paper Into Shape\nThe first step is to cut the paper into a parallelogram. If you have a cutting mat with a 30-degree line on it, place the paper into the corner and cut along the line. Turn the paper 180 degrees and repeat. For my lamp I made 6 pieces like this.\nStep 2: Dividing the Paper\nNext up is dividing the paper into 4 sections along the longest side.", "294" ], [ "3 of the sections need to be the same size and the last one is for glueing the papers togheter. For the A3 paper i used, i made a mark at 11 cm intervals, leaving a bit more than 1 cm for tape. I then marked on the other side and drew connecting lines.\nThe drawn lines where only creased in the actual lamp. If you choose to mark the lines with a pencil, there may be marks showing when done if you put a lightsource inside.\nStep 3: Making the Diagonal Screases\nNext up is creasing the diagonal lines. If you’re using a mat with angles marked, just place the paper in the corner and crease along the 30-degree line.\nYou will see that the diagonal creases cross the creases from the previous step. Crease lines along these connecting points. You will want to end up with a piece similar to the last picture in this step.\nStep 4: Finishing the Units\nThe green area is where tape or glue should be applied.\nFor all the pieces i cut off this small corner part. This is optional, but makes connecting the units\nFor 2 the 2 top units i cut away the long part for tape or glue. Since they won't be connected to any more units above, this part is unnecessary.\nThe red lines indicate where to make a mountain fold and the blue lines are valley folds. Fold these lines before connecting all the units togheter.\nMake 6 units. You could make more or less, but i recommend at least 4 units.\nStep 5: Connecting the Units\nAfter folding all the units, it is time to connect them. Make sure that the finished connected paper has exactly 6 horizontal sections pluss the one for glue.\nTape or glue so that the flaps are hidden inside the lamp for a clean look.\nTake your time and make sure the creases align.\nStep 6: The Hard Part\nWhen you have finished connecting all the units, it is time to make the collapsable cylinder.\nI higly recommend testing how it will connect before applying glue or tape. It is impossible to connect it without collapsing it a bit.\nI split the tape into segments so i can glue a bit at the time.\nTake your time and make sure that the edges align properly and the paper doesnt tear.\nThe video shows how the body should be able to be flat folded.\nStep 7: Add Light\nThe flexible LED strip I bought had tape in the back side, so it was easy to just attach on the inside. I worked in a spiral pattern, constantly making sure that I did not prevent the lamp from being flat foldable with the tape.\nStep 8: Making the Top and Bottom\nTo make the top and bottom, take the lengt of one segment from step 2 and use a pencil compass to create a circle with that lenght in radius.", "6" ] ]

These are frightening figures when considering that the total population of Yemen is 24 million.\nA truce is being discussed during the holy month of Ramadan or what is left of it, to allow the 99-percent Muslim country to at least fast in peace. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims fast in commemoration of when their holy book, the Quran, was first revealed to Prophet <PERSON>.\nBut long before the crisis and the conflict-hit the country, Yemenis used to enjoy Ramadan nights. The country was also famous for its cuisine, and this post is a tribute to the culinary traditions of Yemen during Ramadan. What is also interesting is that every city in Yemen has its own specialties even for Ramadan. So if you one day get the chance to be invited to an Iftar (fast-breaking meal) by someone originally from Aden, it might differ from if you were on a table prepared by someone from Sanaa and so on.\nLike many other Muslims, Yemenis first break their fast in the evening by eating dates, which have been known historically for helping people in the desert sustain long hot days as they are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, sulfur and chloride and various vitamins.\nThe dates are followed by soup and salad, and then the main meal. <PERSON> or Yemeniyah has a section dedicated only to Ramadan recipes on her food blog.\nThere, for instance, we can learn how to cook a shurbah baydah, literally meaning white soup or the Adeni oatmeal soup in reference to the city of Aden.\nWhile in the Yemeni capital Sana'a this soup is sweet, the <PERSON> variation is rather salty with curry and oatmeal. Copyrights reserved to Yemeniyah Blog\nShe says:\nThis is a staple during Ramadan. Very hearty soup, that is a meal in and of itself. In Sana’a they make it sweet and they add milk. But in Aden ours is very different and we make it either plain which we call Shurbah Baydha which literally means “White Soup” or we add a red sauce to it that we make with onions, tomatoes and spices and hence call it Shurbah Hamra meaning “Red Soup”.\nYou will need:\n1) 1/2 pound of lamb cut into small pieces with bone in [you can also use chicken which will cut down the cooking time]\n2) 2 cups of rolled oats [or you can use Old Fashioned Quaker Oats]\n3) 3 sticks of cinnamon\n4) 1/2 tblsp of peppercorns\n5) 1/2 tsp of curry powder\n6) 1/2 of a medium onion finely chopped\n7) 1 small tomato finely chopped\n8) Salt to taste\n<PERSON>, from the blog Sheba Yemeni Food’, shows us in this video how to make a Yemeni yogurt salad, which is spicy:\nFattah is a common main meal on a Yemeni table during Iftar.", "926" ], [ "As explained in the blog “ Yemen Food” it is made of:\nFatta, meaning crushed or crumbs, is a sort of bread soup made with pieces of the Yemeni bread bits mixed with meat broth and cooked vegetables making it soggy and mushy. As flatbreads quickly tend to get stiff when exposed to air, it is indeed a way of using stale bread. Fatta can also be made as a dessert with sweet ingredients including dates and honey. In Yemen, fatta is a common meal during the month of Ramadan.\n<PERSON> too shares with us the recipe of her own version on YouTube:\nAnother thing you are very likely to find on any table during Ramadan would be red meat. Try the lahma mahshoosha (lahma being meat in Arabic) using this recipe shared by <PERSON>:\nFirst wash and separate the fat from the meat. Cut the meat into small pieces. Heat the fat (if there is not a lot then add butter) in a pot over medium heat until it melts.Then add the meat, onions, garlic, spices and salt.

Ultimately, <PERSON> is responsible for Britain turning into a gigantic Ren Faire*, and after our protagonists talk to him he agrees that there isn't a crisis, that Britain should be allowed to rejoin the world, and everyone sort of wakes back up into understanding modern technology. Maybe <PERSON> goes back to sleep.\nAt the end, it's raining, and the sister asks her brother to make it stop, but he can't.\nDoes this sound at all familiar to anyone?

I have to say that the demo table for Tribune was constantly occupied over the 4-day period, so I guess even though the news have been scarce, people have definitely took notice of it.

You must discard a card from you hand to collect the set of card(s) you have claimed.\nAt the beginning of every round, each set is dealt out from the deck until a total value of 5 or more is reached OR if a leader (a 0 value card) is turned over .\nAtrium\nTwo spots available.\nInitially placed face down , the first player here gets to turn over 2 of the 3 cards of his choice . If he is the only person here by the end of the round, he gets those 2 cards for free .\nHowever, if and when a second player is present, the third card is also revealed , both will then participate in a blind bidding for all of the cards. Winner pays the coins he bid to the loser and tie is resolved in favor of the first player .\nThe same player may not occupy both spaces !\nCatacombs\nThree spaces designated 2, 3 and 4 .\n5 cards are dealt faced down at the beginning of each turn.\nThe player on the 4 spot gets to look through the stack of cards first.

The card here is initially placed faced down . When resolved, you may discard a card with the same faction as the revealed card here to gain a permanent favor of the God , with the condition that you must either be in possession of the temporary one OR if you own the group token for the Vestal faction .\n<PERSON> spots available.\nAll players involved discard 2 cards of the same faction from his hand, the person with the highest total value receives two laurels . Everyone else receive only 1 . In the case of a tie, no additional laurels are given, all participating players get only 1 .\nNo player may occupy more than 1 space here .\nFaction Track\nThis is where you can attempt to gain control of the 7 factions . Each factions has two spots up for grabs. Please remember that you resolve this track twice . First to claim the control , then to give out special favors to those controlling them .\nThe factions are resolved in order from left to right : So it goes Gladiator -> Legate -> Praetorian -> Plebian -> Patrician -> Vestal -> Senator.\nIf you are the only player at a particular faction, you may then attempt to take control by playing cards of that respective faction . You must play at least 2 cards , but if another player is currently in possession of the faction in question , you can beat it by either playing more cards or have a total value that is higher than the ones in front of him.

When I make a permanent projects like clocks, whether stations. I have to keep my Arduino there forever I have to break that project or buy another one for another project. With this I can easily make any project with it's circuit. all I have to do is solder the components to this one.\nand Hope this will be a cool and fun project.\nSupplies\nFor this project we need some Supplies.\n* ATmega 328 -1\n* 22pf -2\n* 16 MHz crystal -1\n* USB ASP programmer -1\n* pin hedders male,femail\n* Ic bace(for atmega 328)\n* Double side PCB( I used Dot board )\n* 7805 IC -1\n* 0.33uf capacitor -1\n* 10uf capacitor -1\nNote: When you buy the USBASP programmer make sure to by the small 10 to 6 pin adapter.\nThese are for the circuit and I brought them via alixpress website.\nI took these Supplies images from the internet.\nAnd we need Basic Soldering skills, soldering iron, etc.\nStep 1: Video\nCustom Arduino board\nStep 2: Gather All the Components\nWhen you are going to make this project. gather all the components to your table. It will be easy to you.\nStep 3: Make the Circuit\nRead the diagram and build the circuit.\nIt explains how to connect vires, components etc.\nPlace the components according to diagram on the dot board. Then check them again. After checked them, begin to solder the circuit.\nCheck where the components placed and how It will also help you just like the diagram.\nAdd a LED to your Board. The built in led Is on the D13 pin. Make sure to add a resister otherwise led could burn.\nStep 4: Make the Digital and Analog Pins\nNow Get the pin herders and place them on both sides of Microcontroller as Arduino. These will allow you to Connect sensors etc.\nJust like normal Arduino.\nPlease check Images. These will help you to understanding.\nAnd you can label your pins if you like.", "611" ], [ "Ex: A0 , A1\nStep 5: Power Section\nAdd a 5v power regulator circuit to the project.

Now mark one side.(make it GND or VCC so it will easy to remember the side of your pins). Solder six pins to the Microcontroller. Then begin to make the connections.(check carefully images).\nStep 7: Prepare the Programmer\nTo Use the Programmer we need to Install some Drivers to our Computer.\nFor that go to this site :<PERSON>\nClick on download.\nAfter download it. Open it.\nPlug the USBASP programmer to the computer.\nGo to Options -> List all devices (tick on this)\nSelect Usbasp on the select bar.\nSelect the driver\nInstall it.\nThere are 6 drivers and to many people it worked only two of them. They were : . So I recommend to install one of them.\nThen go to device manager. You will see A device called Usbasp that successfully installed our driver.\nI included images of these steps.\nStep 8: Upload the Bootloader\nIf we want to work with our Arduino we need to install a Arduino bootloader. Its like our computer OS. It only need to install one time.\nThere are several ways to install bootloader to atmega 328 and you can find many tutorials from the internet.\nConnect the Programmer to the our board\nSelect the board as Arduino Uno.\nProgrammer as Usbasp.\nIn tools click the Burn bootloader.\nThis will burn the bootloader to our atmega328.\nStep 9: Lets Make It Work\nNow place the micro controller on the IC base.", "379" ] ]

Do this step connecting all of the rings.\nStep 8: Carve Designs (optional)\nSo for this next step you can carve whatever you want in the pumpkin rings.

Meteorologists have predicted that the storm could ramp up to Category 5 as it heads for Florida:\nThis is about as perfect as a hurricane gets in the Atlantic Ocean.\nHurricane #Dorian is a strong Category 4, and possibly will become a Category 5 later today.\nThis is a looming catastrophe for the northern Bahamas. pic.twitter.com/oG3c0hkz15\n— <PERSON> (@EricHolthaus) August 31, 2019\nSince its journey through the region, Dorian has grown in both strength and intensity. The Bahamas has hunkered down and is bracing for rough weather, as the storm's path is expected to continue along the northwest of the archipelago. Hurricane-force winds are estimated to extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the storm's centre, bringing 10 to 15 inches of rain to the northwest Bahamas and 2 to 4 inches in the central Bahamas—conditions which have the potential to cause flash flooding and loss of life.\n<PERSON>, curator at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, posted on Facebook:\nThe Bahamas is not ready for any storm–much less a significant cat 3/4 hurricane–we are not even ready for a few inches of rain.

Then I put a few coats of acrylic craft paint on and cut the wheels out to the desired size.\nStep 2: Making the Wheels and Mounting Them.\nNext after getting the basic body structure and frame I cut the wheels out of cardboard.

Once finished I put several coats of acrylic paint letting the base color dry before adding the black and gold trim using gel and paint pens. I also did lots of little finishing details such as the instrument cluster which I use a toothpick to paint the small numbers and details on before putting a plastic sheet over it to give it a more realistic look. I make the steering wheel and shifter and all the other little details you can see in the final pictures and video.\nStep 4: Complete With Video\nSince this needs to be handled carefully I secured it inside a display case as you can see in video.

Some literature fans simply posted their picks in comment threads, while others created their own posts and videos.", "941" ], [ "We'll feature some of the most interesting choices.\nTrinidadian book vlogger <PERSON> kicked things off by explaining how the initiative worked and selecting a few picks of his own:\nMany of the books <PERSON> chose had the shared theme of the inner creating the outer, including <PERSON> “Anna In Between,” in which the heroine learns that “home is not a place, but rather, the people that you love and care for,” and <PERSON> “The Beast of Kukuyo,” a tale about a girl who learns that the true monsters that plague our fears […] are, in fact, the ones that live within us.”\nPoet and blogger <PERSON> also posted a video with his choices:\n<PERSON>'s list was an eclectic one. It included Caribbean literary classics like <PERSON> “The Dragon Can't Dance,” <PERSON> “Growing Up Stupid Under the Union Jack,” which looks at “the coloniality of education and Barbadian social life,” and Jamaican <PERSON> poetry collection, “I Am Becoming My Mother,” which <PERSON> says helped shape him.\nHe also deemed <PERSON> “A Small Place” a “very important piece of work” as “a contestation of space, place [and] power” in the region. As a spoken word poet, Sanatan was also drawn to “The History of the Voice,” by <PERSON>, who believed that poetry, just like Caribbean culture, must be experienced through the region's rich oral tradition.\nAuthor <PERSON> also weighed in, with picks that included Caribbean crime fiction in the form of <PERSON> “The Bone Readers”, and <PERSON> acclaimed novel, “The Dew Breaker”:\n<PERSON> also chose Trinidadian poet <PERSON>'s startling debut, “Everyone Knows I Am a Haunting,” which she calls “poetry that shows us the best and worst of ourselves.”\nAnother Trinidadian poet, <PERSON>, chose Trinidadian writer <PERSON>'s “Aelred’s Sin‬” as a book that had a profound impact:\nLook closely, it is as though <PERSON> has ripped out the spine of <PERSON> “The Name of the Rose,” the yearning root, the bones beneath tender flesh and transplanted the same mood and energy, the same series of baffling yet dazzling antinomies into the heat of the islands— in all senses, across geographies. A book that is bold in its willingness to explore a hidden struggle which, even in all its particulars, manages to be universal. An incredible feat not only of art, but also, in its own way, restitution, justice and song.

[ [ "Light Palate--Selective Lighting for Your Next Feast\nIntroduction: Light Palate--Selective Lighting for Your Next Feast\nThe permutations that fine food has gone through in the last 20 years has been quite amazing. Every nuance has been tweaked and romanced over. Growing up in the midwest where food was taken in merely to prevent bodily collapse until that one day when we went to McDonalds for the first time and I inhaled a burger that was so beyond the usual taste limits that my whole world changed. Things could taste really good! Older with kids I found the burgers nearly intolerable--they had descended to the lower edge of the taste spectrum over the years supplanted by deep dish pizza, barbecue and fresh salmon on a cedar plank.\nIn this instructable I wanted to up the game slightly by extending our taste spectrum with a light spectrum tweak. You can think of it as a Phillips light for food. I built a hanging light outfitted with Neopixels that are controlled by a light sensor that is primed by the food that we place underneath it. In this way the color of the presented food is augmented by a color boost along with the usual wavelengths additional LED's are recruited to bring up its color subtleties. The Microcontroller presents the color spectrum that was analyzed and using an algorithm balances out the best frequency. You can also subtly adjust this level with a manual override. The system also works for flowers, objects of art and anything else you might want to appear more tempting.\nStep 1: Gather Your Materials\nThe hanging lamp is made out of 52 mm aluminum speed-rail which can be found in any large city with a metal supplier. This is not a requirement and it can also be fabricated out of PVC or any other tube material but of course it would suffer from ugliness.\n1. Aluminum Speed Rail--52mm X 26 Inches $20\n2. TTGO T-Display ESP32 CP2104 WiFi bluetooth Module 1.14 Inch LCD Development Board $11\n3. Adafruit AS7262 6-Channel Visible Light / Color Sensor Breakout $19\n4. Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - White 60 LED - WHITE $24 about 3 m\n5. 1/16 in. x 50 ft. Galvanized Vinyl Coated Steel Wire Rope $10\n6. Aluminum Alloy Coupling Shaft Coupler Motor Coupler Connector - 7# $5\n7.", "769" ], [ "Power Supply--ALITOVE 5V 8A 40W AC to DC Adapter Power Supply Converter Transformer 5.5x2.1mm $18\nStep 2: 3D Print Your Parts\nOnly a couple of parts need to be 3D printed for the lightPalate. The two end plates--one that contains the Microcontroller and the other a blank disc. One baffle to cover the parts connections on the microcontroller end and the cable attachments inside the housing. They keep the power cables that the unit hangs from making connection with the aluminum housing and shorting it out. They also have built in channels to allow for better cable wrangling. The other part is the insulator that hold the head of the touch control screw from contacting the aluminum housing. The parts are all printed without support out of standard PLA and then painted with Aluminum spray paint to match the housing.\nStep 3: Build Your Housing\nThis type of aluminum is very soft and can be easily cut with a metal blade saber saw in a freehand fashion. A straight outline is done of the horizontal cutout. The ends gentle curves are usually outlined with a flexible french curve template to make them smooth. The smoothing of the final curves was done with a dremmel drum sander and a bench sander. Final smoothing was done with a random orbit sander. The housing was then sandblasted with fine grit to give an overall smooth finish both inside and out. Holes were drilled in the top to accommodate the support wires. Additional holes were drilled to fit the opening for the AS7262 6-Channel Visible Color Sensor and the touch control screw-head. These were done with a step-drill. Final painting was done with Valspar top coat flat finish to the outside of the housing and the inside was painted with a flat white spray paint to reflect light.\nStep 4: Add Neopixels\nThe Neopixels are stripped of their silicon covers to allow them to be directly mounted to the inside of the lightPalate housing. Approximately 3 meters of neopixels was used in the project but you can increase this to bolster the lighting intensity as much as you want. The NeoPixel strands are glued directly to the painted inner liner with E7000 glue. You don't really have to worry about the strands shorting out with contact with metal except at the ends where the wires are attached. These areas are problematic and should be covered heavily with liquid electrical tape insulator fluid--a great product.", "996" ] ]

[ [ "You'll be scooping up interstellar medium at significant kinetic energies.\nThere's two problems: The atoms that hit you will actually accelerate you away from your position (pressure measured in Pa), and of course they'll impose a radiation hazard as you absorb them (radiation dose measured in Gy).\nLet's do some math. Let's assume an interstellar medium consisting of one hydrogen atom per cubic centimeter.\nThis gives a density ρ = m/V = 1.7e-21 kg/m³.\nYou'll scoop up the ISM at dm/dt/A = ρ·v = 1.5e-13 kg/s/m². Note that this depends on the area of your body that is facing into the stream; you might want to go head-first or feet-first depending on if you're still planning to procreate.\nThe pressure that the ISM exerts on you is p = F/A = dm/dt/A · v = 1.3e-5 Pa.\nThis is pretty negligible, you won't even feel it. At an exposed area of 1m² and a mass including the EVA suit of 100kg, the acceleration is just 1.3e-7m/s², enough to displace you by less than a meter in one hour.\nThe radiation hazard is another thing, though. The kinetic energy at relativistic speeds is calculated by multiplying the relativistic gamma factor, minus one, with mc². The relativistic gamma factor in your case is 1.04828.\nThe kinetic energy of the mass stream is calculated by P/A = (relativistic gamma factor - 1)·dm/dt·c^2/A = 653W/m².

Well, because it's the beginning of this instructable idea.\nI started with fusion 360 and I needed to design something which is not too complicated, but still useful. I draw a tube and somehow it reminded me of my Kindergarten time when we used to craft a lot with wool and spool knitting. I didn't spool knit or french knit (or used the Strickliesel, how it's called in german) for an age but I still remembered the fun I had doing it. But what to do with the created wool-worms?\nIf you google \"wool and wire\" you can find a lot of nursery decor signs.\nIt's not new, but it's new to me.\nAnd I like the outcome :-)\nA nursery decor sign for a friend's grandniece, I hope she (and her parents) like it too.\nI hear you saying \"But I don't have a 3d printer\" or \"But I don't want to wait until the print is finished\"? Quickly jump over to step 4.\nStep 1: Tools and Material\nMaterial:\n* Wool in your preferred color ( I used 50g/165m (1oz3/4 / 180yds.))\n* Wire (I used 1mm/0.039\" but I would use 1,2mm/0.047'' the next time, because it's a little bit wabbly)\n* scotch tape\n* thread for stitching the parts together\n* opt: an old pen with big diameter\n* opt: heat shrink tubing\nTools:\n* side cutter\n* small plier\n* 3d printer\n* crochet needle fitting to your wool size (I used a 3mm hook)\n* needle\n* paper\n* pencil\n* opt: lighter\nStep 2: The French Knitting Spool Tool\nMy spool knit design doesn't look fancy, but you can believe me, it took me a long time until I got it into the shape that I imagined.\nThe design is also attached, so feel free to print your own.\n1. Print your tube (I used black pla)\n2. Cut of 5cm /2\" of the wire and bend it to an u-shape\n3.

Stick the \"U\"s into the holes in your tube (if they don't fit well enough, add a tiny drop of super glue to fix it)\n6. Bend the upper part of the closed \"U\"s a little bit apart, this will help you later with not losing your stitches while knitting\nCreate a knitting helper\nWhile you could just use a simple piece of wire, or a small hook, I created myself a little helper (as you can see in the pictures)\nStep 3: How to French Knitting\n1.

[ [ "How can the shortest traveling salesman tour be found in $O(2^n poly(n))$ time and less than exponential space?\nI'm stuck on problem 9.4 from The Nature of Computation which reads:\nDynamic Salesman. A naive search algorithm for TSP takes $O(n!)$ time to check all tours. Use dynamic programming to reduce this to a simple exponential, i.e., to solve TSP in $O(2^npoly(n))$ time. Can you do this without using an exponential amount of memory? Hint: work out Problems 3.31 and 3.32.\nThe first part is relatively straightforward. Given a graph, a set of previously visited vertices, a start vertex, and a target vertex, go through all neighbors of the start vertex that haven't been visited already and recursively solve the TSP starting from the neighbor. Then add the distance between start and neighbor to each and return the minimum. The base case, which returns $0$, occurs when $start = target$ and all vertices have been visited.\nThere are $2^n$ possible inputs for the set of previously visited vertices and $n^2$ possibilities for the start and target vertices. Since each call performs $O(n)$ work we get a dynamic programming algorithm with time complexity $O(2^n \\cdot n^2 \\cdot n) = O(2^npoly(n))$.\nThe tricky part is the exponential amount of memory, since the cache used by dynamic programming might grow exponentially large. What do the hints suggest? Problem 3.31 asked to solve Hamiltonian Path in $2^npoly(n)$ time, which could be done with the same idea I presented just now.\nProblem 3.32 is more promising. It asked to show that the number of Hamiltonian paths from $s$ to $t$ can be computed in $2^npoly(n)$ time and $poly(n)$ space by evaluating the following expression:\n$$\\sum_{S\\subseteq V}(-1)^{|S|}|q(S)|,$$\nwhere $q(S)$ is the set of paths from $s$ to $t$ of length $n-1$ not visiting any vertex in $S$.", "180" ], [ "($|q(S)|$ can be computed relatively easily by iterating the adjacency matrix of $V\\setminus S \\quad n-1$ times.)\nTo prove this claim first observe that the number of Hamiltonian paths can be expressed like so:\n$$|q(\\emptyset)| - |\\bigcup_{v_i}q({v_i})|$$\nwhich is the total number of paths minus the number of non-Hamiltonian paths, i.e. the paths not visiting some vertex $v_i$ (all of length $n-1$). Using the inclusion-exclusion-principle the second term can be rewritten as\n$$|\\bigcup_{v_i}q({v_i})| = -\\sum_{S\\subseteq V\\setminus \\emptyset}(-1)^{|S|}|\\bigcap_{v_i\\in S}q({v_i})|$$\nSome further thought will then reveal the equivalence $q(A) \\cap q(B) = q(A \\cup B)$. (A path that avoids everything in $A$ and everything in $B$ also avoids everything in the union of $A$ and $B$. Similarly a path that avoids everything in $A$ or $B$ also avoids everything in $A$ and everything in $B$.)\nWith this our expression then becomes\n$$|q(\\emptyset)| + \\sum_{S\\subseteq V\\setminus \\emptyset}(-1)^{|S|}|q(S)| = \\sum_{S\\subseteq V}(-1)^{|S|}|q(S)|\\qquad \\Box$$\nSo how does this help finding the shortest traveling salesman tour? I see two options. Either use the algorithm laid out just now as a subroutine. Or reuse the ideas from the proof.\nThe first option seems pretty fruitless to me. Any instance of TSP that isn't defined on a fully connected graph can be converted to such an instance by adding in the missing edges with astronomically large weights. Counting the number of Hamiltonian paths on any subset $S$ of such a graph then becomes trivially easy. Every permutation of vertices is a Hamiltonian path so it's $|S|!$. Problem 3.32 seems of absolutely no help then.", "180" ] ]

However, finding one that fit my desk, was the right height, and looked the way I wanted proved to be harder than I thought. So I decided to make my own!\nI wanted to make the stand with as few materials as possible. Ideally, I would have made it with just plywood; no glue, no nails, and no varnish or stain. However, I wasn't a huge fan of my early designs, since they all used plywood fasteners that weren't flush with the outer faces. Since plywood is made with glue anyway, I decided to bend my rule a little and use some wood glue to hold everything together.\nI've been using the stand for the past month, and I couldn't be happier with it! I designed it to help with my cable management as well; the cutaways on the sides are meant to hold my various cords in place.\nSupplies\nMaterials\n- 1/4\" plywood\n- Wood glue\n- Felt pads (optional)\nTools\n- Rotary tool with wood cutting wheel or hand saw\n- Sandpaper\n- Two 3\" (or greater) C-clamps\n- Two to three 9\" (or greater) bar clamps (or one bar clamp and a workbench with a large built-in vise)\n- Laser cutter, CNC/manual milling machine, or a jigsaw/bandsaw/hand saw and lots of patience!\nStep 1: Set Dimensions\nThis really depends on what you're looking for; you might want something taller or wider than I did. However, there are three key dimensions everyone will need to consider:\nMonitor base diameter (or depth and width): decides the minimum depth and width of the top of your stand\nStand height: personal preference; it's recommended that the top of your monitor be directly at, or slightly below, eye level\nStand base width: depends on the space on your desk and the design you want; more on that later!\nFor me, the key dimensions were:\nMonitor base diameter: 8 1/4\"\nStand height: 3 1/2\"\nStand base width: 18 1/3\"\nStep 2: Design the Stand & Prepare the Data\nI've attached a .pdf of my design; if you want to use it, feel free! Note that the drawing scale is ANSI C, and the sheet size should be 17\" x 22\". The \"D\" pieces are the support pegs, and do not need to be duplicated for cutting; you only need four total.\nHow you design the stand depends on how you plan to make it.

Since there are so many programs available, I'll just provide a rough guideline for designing the stand and preparing the data for laser cutting.\nDesigning & Preparing:\n- Figure out how many layers of plywood you'll need for the stand. You can do this by dividing the monitor base diameter from the previous step by the thickness of the plywood you're using. For example, I was using 1/4\" plywood, and my monitor base diameter was 8 1/4\", so I needed 8.25 / 0.25 = 33 layers.\n- Decide how you want the stand to look; do you want it to be a continuous shape with identical layers, or do you want to have different profiles? I wanted to use two alternating profiles; a solid one made from the \"A\" pieces and one with \"cutaways\" made from the \"B\" & \"C\" pieces.\n- If you want different profiles, you need to decide how many pieces you'll need for each profile and the thickness of each profile. This depends on how easily you can break the total number of layers you need into whole numbers. Note that you need an odd total number of profiles, otherwise the two outer-most faces won't be the same.\n- I had 33 total layers. Since 33 is divisible by 11 and 3, I could either have 11 profiles that were 3 x 0.25 = 3/4\" thick, or 3 profiles that were 11 x 0.25 = 2 3/4\" thick. I chose to have 11 profiles; six made from piece \"A\" and five made from pieces \"B\" & \"C\", with two \"C\" pieces per profile.\n- Use a CAD program (Fusion 360, AutoCAD, etc.) to sketch the pieces you'll need.

A rough calculation:\nMass of atmospheric O2: 1.4 × 1018 kg O2 (Table 1)\nMass of atmospheric CO2: 1.4 × 1018 x (0.04/20.9) x (44/32) = 3.7 x 1015 kg CO2\n[The line above converts current O2 mass to current CO2 mass via two ratios: their relative % of the atmosphere, and their relative molar masses.]\nAnnual oxygen production: 3 x 1014 kg O2 (Table 2)\nOne year of respirated CO2 not converted back to O2 via photosynthesis: 3 x 1014 kg O2 x (44/32) = 4.1 x 1014 kg CO2. (This is the annual increase in CO2 if there is no natural production of oxygen.)\nCO2 is now 0.04% of the atmosphere. It needs to grow by a factor of 12.5x to reach 0.5%, by which point we would certainly feel the effects (see ISS astronauts above).\nThis requires adding 11.5 x 3.7 x 1015 = 4.25 x 1016 kg CO2 in total.\nAt an increase of 4.1 x 1014 kg/yr CO2, this would take 104 years.\nShort answer: We would all suffer \"headaches, lethargy, mental slowness, emotional irritation, and sleep disruption\" no later than 104 years from now. In reality, people already experience these things after a couple of hours in closed bedrooms, offices, and meeting rooms with poor ventilation, as ambient CO2 increases, so such problems would become commonplace far sooner than a century.\nSo without technological intervention (say, reducing CO2 levels indoors), we would suffer serious effects even with abundant oxygen all around us.\nIt would be analogous to floating in a lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific: \"Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.\"", "279" ] ]

I will answer the question according to the wording it had in the first versions:\nMany people now practice \"earthing\", physically linking themselves to the earth ground plug of their home's electrical system. They go as far as sleeping on mesh wire sheets plugged into ground to protect from stray EMF. [...] If a hot wire from, say, a washing machine, suddenly shorts to its chassis, doesn't that route to ground, and isn't our happy \"earther\" suddenly now part of a deadly circuit involving the hot wire?\nBasically, yes. As pointed out in <PERSON> answer, all or most devices with a conducting chassis have this grounded for safety reasons. In these cases, it should make little difference if the person is grounded.However ...\nLet's look at another scenario: Your alarm clock is (not your cell phone but) an older model with an AC connection. You managed to damage the cable near where it enters the (plastic) chassis and touch the live wire when fumbling for the thing one early morning.\nCase 1) You are not grounded in any special way, but lying on a cotton sheet on some mattress on a wooden bed.", "75" ], [ "Resistance for electric current to the ground will be very high. Electrically, you are - grossly simplified - now a capacitor connected to an alternating current via a 1k$\\Omega$ resistor (your arm).\nCase 2) Same as before but you lie on a grounded mesh. This time you are a 1k$\\Omega$ resistor between the live wire and ground. Far more current will flow.\nHigh resistance towards grounding plays a minor role in safety around eletricity. The normal case is that a device is built safely as described. For work on electrical equipment, there's 5 basic rules:\n* switch the power supply to the device you work on off\n* secure it against switching on,\n* confirm by measurement that there's indeed no voltage\n* first ground then short circuit the live wires so if the device is switched on the circuit breaker will engage\n* cover nearby devices, if still connected to power supply\nSo you consider how not to touch a life wire in the first place, not about where the current will go when you do or what the resistance is. The only instance I know of where this was given serious consideration is safety shoes, these need a high resistance according to the relevant industry codes.", "71" ] ]

Most of the time these boxes are already filled with stuff so I thought why not make my own with 3D Printing.\nSo I searched for containers for SMD components on Thingiverse but I couldn't find an existing model so I made my own version by modeling the container after BB-8 Bot.\nIn this Instructables, I'm gonna show you guys how I made this container in few easy steps.\nLet's get started!\nSupplies\n* PLA Filament Orange and Grey (or white)\n* Patience\n* Truss 2.5mm x 5mm screw\n* 3D Printer\nStep 1: Basic Intro\nSo the Beebee-Ate or BB was a BB-series astromech droid that operated approximately thirty years after the Battle of Endor.\nHe had a dome head, similar to that of R2 series astromech droids, with the bulk of his body made up of a ball on which the droid's head rolled. BB-8 was mostly white, with some silver and orange on his body, as well as a black photoreceptor.\nHis first appearance was in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). He later appeared in the other two films of the sequel trilogy, Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).\nApart from the whole lore of star wars, this BB-8 Droid is one of the cutest characters in the whole series, It's basically a rolling ball droid with his head not permanently attached to the upper part, its head stays on with magnets.\nBut this Instructables isn't about making a BB Robot, it's about making a dumber version of the BB-8 Bot which isn't related to robotics at all.\nSMD Components Box which is modeled after BB-8 Droid.\nFor this project, I first searched a BB Droid side view image which can be used for tracing it in any Cad software.\nStep 2: Fusion360 Editing Part\nAs For the Modeling Part, I used Fusion360 for this project.\n* First, I imported the image of Droid in the sketch environment and first calibrated the image to set the size of the image to 80mm wide.\n* then sketch its outline with a three-point arc and splines.\n* I made the base first and then modeled the lines inside the base afterward.\n* Then after making the base, I molded its Lid by copying the bottom outlines on the top side, the thickness of Lid is 1.5mm and the lines are just a few more millimeters extruded in length to give this whole structure a 3D Feel.\n* On one side, I made a stopping pin in the base so the lid only can rotate in one direction.\n* In the end, I exported the 3D Files for 3D Printing in 3mf format.\nI've added the Fusion360 files for this project so you can even edit this project completely according to your preferences.\nStep 3: 3D PRINTING\nAs for 3D Printing the parts, I used two different colors for making this project more aesthetically pleasing.\nTwo-color tone Orange and grey look pretty nice together.\nBoth Filaments are PLA and I printed both of the bodies with the same parameters which are-\n* Nozzle used- 0.5mm Nozzle\n* Infill- 20%\n* Layer Height - 0.2mm\n* Speed - 50\n* Wall thickness - 1.5mm\n* No support required\n* No built place Adhesion\nStep 4: Assembly\nThe Assembly of this project is pretty simple, like really really really simple.\nI added a 2.5mm x 5mm Truss Head screw in the screw mount from the TOP lid side and that was pretty much the assembly part.\nOnly one screw is needed.\nThis Screw acts as a rotation Pin for the LID and Body, it keeps the LID permanently attached to the body and lets it rotate freely as well.\nStep 5: Placing Stuff in It\nAll the empty same in the Bottom Part is to be used for keeping SMD components safe and well organized.", "949" ] ]

[ [ "Read the full review with pictures on our blog: https://hesaidshesaidgames.com/2017/10/09/game-review-photos...\nIn a small forest, several varieties of trees compete to grow and spread their seeds. As trees grow, leaves that are exposed to the sun and cast shadows on smaller trees around it. Over time, the larger trees will reach the end of their life cycle, falling to create room for new trees to grow in the small forest.\nDesigner: <PERSON>\nArtist: <PERSON>\nPublisher: Blue Orange Games\nGenre: Area Control, Abstract\nPlayers: 2-4\nPlay Time: 30-60 Minutes\nNumber of Logged Plays: 4\nGame Overview\nIn Photosynthesis, players will be controlling a species of tree growing in a small forest. Players will try to position their trees in the forest to gather the most sunlight, even if that means blocking opponents’ trees from gathering precious sunlight. Sunlight will be turned into light points that can be used to get more trees, seeds, spread seeds, and grow trees.\nLight points will vary quite a bit as the sun rotates around the board, so players will have to decide when is the best time to do certain actions. The goal of the game is to get the most amount of victory points, which can be gained by putting a tree through its full life cycle. After three full rotations of the sun around the board, the game will end and the player with the most points is the winner.\nGame Play\nPhotosynthesis starts with sun segment being placed on the sun symbol on the board and players taking turns placing a small tree on any open space on the outer ring of the board. The remaining two seeds, two small trees, and one medium tree are placed in the player’s available for use area in front of them. The game is now ready to begin. Each round in Photosynthesis takes place over two phases:\nPhotosynthesis Phase\nThe player with the first player token will move the sun to the next position in a clockwise direction. (This step is skipped in the first round).\nEach player then gains light points for any trees that aren’t in the shadow of another tree (Only a maximum of 20 Light Points can be stored).\n- Small Trees = 1 Light Point\n- Medium Trees = 2 Light Points\n- Large Trees = 3 Light Points\nLife Cycle Phase\nDuring this phase, players will spend their light points to perform actions starting with the first player. The number of light points required by each action is listed on the player board.", "581" ], [ "The possible actions a player can take are below:\nBuying – Buy trees and plants off of their player board and put them into their available for use area in front of them.\nPlanting a Seed – Plant a seed from their available area onto the board from an existing tree. The distance a seed can be placed away from a tree is based on what size it is:\n- Small Tree – 1 space away\n- Medium Tree – 2 spaces away\n- Large Tree – 3 spaces away\nGrowing A Tree – Grow a seed into a tree or grow a tree to the next size up. Only trees from a player’s available area can be used to grow seeds and trees. When a tree is grown to the next level, the smaller version of that tree is returned back to the player board to the topmost spot of the corresponding column. If there are no available spaces for it, then it is removed from the game (this will be the case for the starting seeds and trees players begin the game with).\nCollecting – Once a tree is at it’s largest size, it can be collected for points. The large tree will be removed from the board and placed back on the player’s board (topmost open spot of the corresponding column) and the player will take a scoring token with the same symbol that the Large Tree was growing on.\nPlayers can perform any of those actions as many times as they want as long as they have the light points to pay for it. The only thing players need to keep in mind is that a space on the board can only be activated once per turn. So if you plant a seed, the tree the seed came from and the space the seed is planted on would both be activated for the round. The tree wouldn’t be able to be grown this turn to the next level because that would require activating the space again. This also prevents growing the same tree twice in one round as well.\nOnce the sun has gone around the board three times (18 rounds), the game is over. Players will add the points up they receive from the score tokens and will also get points for every three unused light points. The player with the most points is the winner!\nAdvanced Variant\nThe advanced variant adds one more sun rotation to the game which extends the game out to 24 rounds.", "597" ] ]

And their connection is as below:\nI used two communications in this project to control four DC motors of a RC car:\n* M5StickC gets Blynk joystick command from smartphone via WIFI and converts it to car direction and speed.\n* After that M5StickC transmits these converted commands to Attiny85 via I2C protocol. Finally, after receiving command, Attiny85 send its output signals to Quad motor shield to control direction and speed of car DC motors.\nNotes:\n* In the schematic, I used 2 pull-up resistors R10K on the SDA and SCL line.\n* For the quad motor shield, I connected each group consisting of 2 DC motors in parallel at the M1 & M2 screw terminals. DIR signal of motor M1 & M2 has been connected together at motor shield pin 4 & 12. So I have controlled four DC motors with only 3 signals.\nStep 3: Car Assembly\nAfter using stepper motors for mini CNC projects, there are still some DC motors left in the CD/DVD player. They are used to insert or eject CD/ DVD plastic tray.\nI disassembled four DC motors, soldered them on the double sided protoboard 7x9cm.\nI found some wheels from small toy cars that have a center bore equal to the 2mm motor shaft diameter.\nI used another protoboard 7x9cm then soldered on it a step-down power supply module LM2596, a power switch, a 2-pin screw header and 4 male header groups that match correspondingly to all the pins of the Quad DC Motor Shield for Arduino.\nThe LM2596 output terminals were connected to male headers at pin 5V and GND.

I hope that it helps you nonetheless — indeed, that's the whole thing I am advocating here: it is easier to begin filling emptiness with the right brain and to tend it later with the left brain — rather like as I said in another of my answers here.\nIf you are any good at writing nonsense or disconnected fragments, then you could attempt that. I do it all the time whether I am writing introductions or simply something which I could possibly use later.\nErgo, there are three situations:\n* You have a concept for project, and you wish to begin producing usable assets.\n* You come up with a scene in your head, or you are walking along a field and are suddenly moved to describe it poetically, or you want to capture an emotion suddenly expressed.\nCarry a notepad or other such device with you at all times.\n* You are in the mood to produce something, but don't have any context or scenario in mind.\nSee this:\nThe air was fetid and cold. My breath turned to a damp cloud which settled back on the open book beneath my face.

When they are interested in the setting, then I can show them how the character of a person contrasts or meshes with that setting. I do this because although a setting is vast, a person is intricate.\nOf course, I usually do all this introducing in less than 7 sentences. The sequence is the necessary thing.\nOftentimes, I will move that introduction to somewhere else, or rewrite it entirely. Not often will I simply delete it, but by the time I decide to do that, I've already written other stuff.\nThat brings me to the next bit of advice: sometimes I will begin writing descriptions or dialogue while I've not yet done a proper introduction.\nDepends on whichever is ready in my imagination.\nThat is where the bit about always writing down those loose fragments comes in handy: if you want to begin a new project, but have some trepidation as to how exactly to plant the seed in the blank page, then you can look through your collection of notes.\nIf you have something there which can be appropriated, then take it and begin. It doesn't need to be the beginning, either. Write in both directions.\nMaybe, with you, it would help to see the blank page as somewhere in the middle, rather than at the beginning of your story.", "487" ] ]

[ [ "Leather Soled Toddler Slippers\nIntroduction: Leather Soled Toddler Slippers\nWelcome. I am a stay at home mom that loves all things crafty. Instead of buying everything, I like to figure out how to do it myself. That is why I learned to crochet. My instructor was Youtube.\nI also love to be cozy. I have been wearing slippers for as long as I can remember. I like the \"padraig\" style of slippers and they look so cute on babies so I learned how to make them myself. This year I also gifted slippers to some of the people on my list and they were all a big hit.\nI am going to share with you my pattern of how to make slippers with leather soles for a toddler. My toddler's foot is 5 inches long and he is 2 years old. This pattern is quite quick and easy to crochet. It only took me about a half an hour to crochet each slipper.\nStitches Used\nCh - chain\nSt - stitch\nSlst - slip stitch\nSC - single crochet\nHDC - half double crochet\nSC2tog - single crochet two together\nHDC2tog - half double crochet two together\nNOTES:\nAll rows start in the same stitch as the chain stitch in the beginning of each row.\nThe chain stitch at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.\nThe last slip stitch in each row does not count as a stitch.\nMake sure your slip stitch is nice and tight so the back of the heel looks nice and clean.\nIf you want to make the slippers a bit bigger or smaller, add or subtract evenly to the SC in each row.\nSupplies\nYarn: Super Bulky #6 (I used Lion Brand Yarns in Milwaukee Midnight)\nCrochet Hook Size: 4.5mm hook and 5.0mm hook\nTapestry Needle\nScissors\nLeather Hand Hole Puncher\nLeather scraps\nSherpa like scraps (or something warm and similar)\nRubber Cement Glue\nCording\nFoot template\n*All these supplies can be found at your local craft store.\nStep 1: Making a Template\nFor this step, I measured my toddlers foot. I found out that his foot was 5 inches from top to bottom. So I drew out a foot on a piece of paper that was 5 inches long. There are many foot patterns online. You just need to pick the right size.\nAfter I drew out his foot, I drew the shape approximately 1/4 inch bigger. That way there is space for the holes and the leather will not easily tear.\nNext, I marked the holes to be punched out with the leather hand puncher. These were approximately 1/4 inch apart. I had 36 holes in total. I also marked the middle hole on the heel. That is my starting point for both slippers.\nStep 2: Preparing the Leather Soles\nUsing the template you just made, trace it out on to the smooth side of the leather.", "557" ], [ "You want the suede side to be on the outside for more traction. Also mark the dots. Trace out two for both feet. Make sure you trace the right shapes for the left and right foot. I had to flip my template over for that.\nNext, cut out the leather sole and punch out the holes with the leather hand puncher.\nFor the padding inside, I used a scrap piece of sherpa-like material. Cut out another template of just the inside of the foot where you want the padding to be. Trace that onto the wrong side of the sherpa-like material. Then cut that out.\nUsing the rubber cement glue, paint both the wrong sides of the sole and the padding you just cut out.\nPlace the glue side of the sherpa-like material on top of the leather material and press down.\nYou are now ready to crochet onto your soles.\nStep 3: Crocheting the Slipper Tops\nThis is the pattern for the top of the slippers.\nRow 1: Insert your 4.5mm hook into the hole marked in the middle of the heel of your leather sole. Pull the yarn through. Yarn over and pull through loop. Ch 1. SC in the remaining holes of the sole. Slst to first ch. I weaved in the tail of the yarn as I did the single crochets.

[ [ "I recently purchased Fields of Fire, a solo only winter GMT wargame release. I’ve played about 4 missions of the game, all in the WWII era, and I think I can safely say that it is a game of interest for some individuals here, with some major qualifications. I cannot stop playing it and have been playing it most nights for the past week or two.\nIt has the strongest narrative of any game I've ever played. We talk a lot about narrative on the F:AT, but this really is the ultimate form of narrative in a game, through a simulation. I can remember 3-4 amazing, movie quality (not in an action hero way) moments in my mind's eye from my last game as I sit here. It presents a viewpoint on combat that is far, far different than anything I've ever played. And not in a gamey way a la Combat Commander. It also has an insane amount of replayability. Having 3 eras, WWII, Korea and Vietnam, that all play differently in the box means there is a lot of gameplay to be had.\nI am still not sure I can recommend it in good faith to most here, however. But if the description sounds interesting, and you do not mind doing some major rules wrestling to get there, you will find a very rewarding game. It seems I am always writing these wargame reviews for BGG and F:AT---fight through the rules and you will be rewarded. Nevertheless, I think good design ideas should be rewarded and are worth fighting for. Fields of Fire counts as one of those designs.\nWhat is the Game About?\nFields of Fire is essentially a solo tactical game, designed by <PERSON>, who has experience commanding in the Marines. Units represent squads and individual assets (heavy machine gun, artillery observer, etc). The player sets up the terrain, then comes up with a plan and assigns assets for his given forces (an infantry company, usually). The player then attempts to accomplish whatever the goals are (attacking, defending or patrolling) against an uncertain enemy in a given time.\nThere is no traditional map. In fact, the map is generated at the beginning of the mission dynamically by drawing terrain cards and placing them on the table. Each war has a different terrain deck (Vietnam has lots of jungles and nasty terrain, while Normandy has a lot of bocage and farmhouses). The map can be drastically different from mission to mission, even when replaying the same mission. You might draw a mostly forest and bocage Normandy mission, or you might draw more urban farmhouses and villages.\nThe enemy forces are similarly dynamically created; there is no simple mission scenario setup or anything of that nature.", "993" ], [ "Enemies are simulated not by placing enemies on the board at the start, but through placing various strength potential contact markers. These resolve differently whether you attack or defend. Resolving a contact chit means the potential of enemies appearing in cards. The placement and units vary dramatically. You may resolve several markers without any enemy forces appearing but it is more likely forces will appear in front of you and begin firing on you, oftentimes unobserved. There is a rhyme and reason to encounters, however, as dangerous markers yield enemies far more often and tend to produce more dangerous unit types.\nCombat results and the like are handled by a similar mechanism to the legendary game Up Front. No dice. There is a card deck that has various random indicators on it, a random number generator for truly random draws, and various icons on the cards that indicate things such as the results of hits, if shots hit. Etc, etc. All attempts to follow orders and act are handled with this deck. This means lots of reshuffling, which is a definite annoyance of the system. And unlike Up Front, which has a truly massive action deck that takes a while to cycle through, Fields of Fire has a much smaller deck that you burn through quickly and reshuffle.\nA Simulation of Commanding, Not Controlling\nI must say Fields of Fire is quite a unique experience. In particular, it has a singular viewpoint of combat that bears no resemblance to current tactical wargame systems (ASL, Company of Heroes, Combat Commander, etc). That viewpoint is command, not control. Everybody who plays wargames constantly talks about command, what it means and how it is one of the most important things in simulating war. But in practice, command generally just means units have to be X number of hexes from a commander or, more commonly, the leader adds combat power to the army since he is so smart.\nThe viewpoint here is different. It is simulating commanders as the actors. All other units, outside of commanders, behave with some manner of AI. The best example is friendly units. Basically, friendly AI is pretty rudimentary. It will fire at units it sees and even continue fire into the brush if the enemy leaves.", "100" ] ]

[ [ "It was a dark time for the Rebellion. Their champion <PERSON> had fallen at the hands of the Emperor. A rampaging Rancor had already demolished two of their once hidden bases. And the terrible Death Star was nearing completion.\nThen a figure emerged from the shadows -- small, green, powerful. With a wave of his four-fingered hand, <PERSON> distracted the Rancor using an old Jedi mind trick, leaving the Imperial headquarters on Courascant open to attack. <PERSON> led the charge along with with a fellow Jedi who had been in hiding. Just as they were about to reach the base, the Jedi felt his throat tighten. The Dark Lord of the Sith <PERSON> was choking the life out of him, and without his help the mission could not possibly succeed.\nBut <PERSON> wasn't out of tricks yet. With the power of the Force, he was able to deflect <PERSON>'s attention, and the Dark Lord took out his fury on one of his own men instead, killing a TIE Fighter pilot who had let the Jedi slip through their defenses unnoticed. With the path clear, <PERSON> and his team laid the charges to destroy the Imperial headquarters, bringing the promise of peace to the galaxy once more...\nAnd therein summarizes my first experience playing Star Wars: The Card Game. An eye-opening experience, not just for the story the game told, but for the whole package. Theme, mechanics, interaction... I was impressed across the board. So why are you only seeing this review now, months after the game was released?\nMy story is a fairly common one. I'm a huge Star Wars fan... like, named my daughter <PERSON> so I could have a little princess huge. Okay, so maybe my story's not THAT common. But like so many others I was very excited when FFG first announced they were doing a Star Wars LCG, and I salivated over the initial offerings of original artwork. And then came the waiting...", "605" ], [ "and more waiting... and the original project for a co-op was scrapped and the game was redesigned. More waiting... And finally the release. But by then I'd waited so long and things had changed so much that I didn't jump on the game right away. The initial reviews came in, and one common thread rose above the rest -- \"The game doesn't feel like Star Wars.\" \"The interaction of the cards is downright goofy.\" \"The theme makes no sense.\" \"How can you have a <PERSON> battling the Millennium Falcon\" And so on and so on. But then more reviews started to come out touting the gameplay, and so I finally made the leap and bought in. And boy am I glad I did...\nTo thoese who eschew the theme, let me quote my review title: \"I find your lack of imagination disturbing.\" In my first game I had no trouble whatsoever getting into the theme of the game, and I totally agree with those who say it has a strong Star Wars feel. At times you need a little imagination, but to me that just makes the game more fun and thematic, not less so. In my lead-in passage, my opponent played Force Choke which does 1 point of damage to a character, and I responded with Lightsaber Deflection, which redirects a point of damage to a different target. Strictly speaking does that make any sense? No, but from my write-up you can see it wasn't hard at all to envision another way in which those cards might interact, and to me that kind of creativity is fun.\nBut theme aside, the most important thing is that the theme doesn't matter... Because the mechanics are THAT good. In my time as Games Editor for InQuest magazine I played and reviewed probably around 200 trading card games. For whatever that's worth. (Note: I think it's worth at least something... if for no other reason than I have a pretty large basis of comparison.) And even after just one play I could tell that Star Wars: The Card Game was a special game. There are mechanics I haven't seen before, and that alone is saying something. Once you learn the rules (I highly recommend watching the [thread=http://boardgamegeek.com/video/24209]Team Convenant video[/thread] and then reading through the rulebook as I did), the game flows smoothly and easily. The goals are clear and you can jump right in, and since you start with most of the resource-production you'll ever need already in play, there's no slow buildup or \"mana screw\". You can hit the ground running, which is no small feat for a balanced and strategic card game.\nRather than rehash the gameplay and rules, which you can easily find elsewhere, let me just touch on the high points:\n* Edge battles.", "304" ] ]

Photo: Vision2020 IAPB\nWe start with Dr. <PERSON>, an eye care specialist, university professor and researcher. Dr. <PERSON> informs that The University of Malawi's College of Medicine has recently introduced a graduate training program in Ophthalmology. The number of ophthalmologists in the country has also increased, with three new ophthalmologists trained within the last two years. One of them is Dr. <PERSON> himself. The new Minister of Health, who is also a new member of parliament, Dr. <PERSON>, is himself an ophthalmologist, and for many years was the only one in the whole of Malawi.\nThe new developments in the training program and increase in specialists are a result of a program known as Vision 2020 Right to Sight, which Malawi has been pursuing for a number of years now.

Her 15 years as a midwife-nurse, she writes, have taught her about the simple, free things that matter to women whether in Malawi or in Norway:\nAs an experienced para 3, i really missed the support of a midwife who could greet me and put herself in my shoes during antenatal, labour and postnatal periods. Having travelled miles away from my home and live in this scandinavian country, i have really appriciated that there are some things that cost nothing but are important for all midwives to do in the whole world. A smile, greetings, giving of comprehensive information, explaining procedures, respect, empathy, sympathy.With these little non costly commodities, our hospitals will be wonderful places for women.\nMalawian Nurse-Midwife, <PERSON>\nBut health care in Malawi also presents difficult problems especially to ordinary Malawians who cannot afford expensive private doctors. <PERSON> writes about a distant relation of his who recently hanged himself to escape deep financial problems he was ensnared in. According to <PERSON>, the man was still alive when people found him. They quickly took him to the hospital, where they found nurses and other medical personnel having their dinner.\nThey reporterdly went on with their business of eating the evening meal as <PERSON> lay in poor condition. By the time the medical staff had finished enjoying dinner and started to check on <PERSON>, he was no more.\nSadly, <PERSON> writes, such stories of negligence are not uncommon in Malawian hospitals, as per an incident he personally witnessed.\nOn one occasion I personally saw a mother holding a very ill young son rush into the hall of the referall hospital in Blantyre, QECH, to alert medics about the need for a trolley or a wheel-chair. Nobody seemed to care and the woman ended up handling the trolley herself…she was later assisted by a minibus conductor whose vehicle had kindly agreed to make a diversion to the hospital!\nAnother blogger, <PERSON>, expresses his frustration with a Government plan to study the feasibility of turning an old ship on Lake Malawi, the MV Chancy Maples, into a mobile hospital. According to <PERSON>, the idea has been proposed by some Scottish donors, who want the Malawi government to pay for the study at a cost of MK50,000,000 (US$357,143).\nAs much as I have respect for the Ministry officials K50 million can do a lot. Train at least 10 doctors, 200 medical assistance and 100 Nurses. Or better still can equip Lifuwu Hospital with drugs for five months.\nHow we lay our priorities should reflect the poverty and needs of Malawians.", "830" ] ]
