![]() ![]() This repetition hadn’t been planned, and his first instinct was to change the details to make the “echoes” less noticeable. When Chaon was developing the collection, he began to see images repeated throughout. I think the stories are surreal in the way personal tragedy often feels like some cosmic joke, while the tragedies they contain are very much a part of reality. And he thought “maybe we need the uncanny to find a way to express the way it feels to be alive right now.” So Chaon read the stories of Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Bowen, and Shirley Jackson. I felt like “The Bees,” was a breakthrough for me, and after that I set out to explore that ghostly/horror story element…It opened me up to the idea that “literary” didn’t necessarily mean “realism.” “Chabon’s project was to combine so-called literary writing with pulp and genre storytelling elements, and I was very much inspired by what he had to say. He wrote the first story for McSweeney’s Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales, edited by Michael Chabon and published in 2003. Chilling.Īt the back of the collection, there’s an interview with Chaon where he talks about the collection’s genesis. The cover of the collection depicts a typical suburban house in a dreamscape darkness with only a single light glowing in the window of the attic. Dan Chaon’s collection of short stories, “Stay Awake,” has been described as “eerily beautiful,” “powerful and disturbing,” “superbly disquieting,” and “mesmerizing and gripping.” The book cover’s blurb describes the stories as filled with “scattered families, unfulfilled dreamers, anxious souls–lost, fragile, searching characters who wander between ordinary life and a psychological shadowland.” ![]() A caveat: watch out for the champagne headache if you have more than one.Ģ) I discovered an author who’s view of life is simpatico with mine. Others agreed, though, that it was very drinkable. It wasn’t bad, but my taste buds may have been influenced by the extremely salty enchilada dinner that left me parched and wanting something to wash away the bad taste in my mouth. ![]() ![]() ![]() visor on your helmet, motorcycle glasses, or goggles. Eye protection should be worn regardless of the laws, and it should be either a D.O.T. The eye protection laws are thankfully a little easier to understand than the helmet laws in every state. They are in the middle of the United States, so unless you live in them, you’re potentially going to need a helmet to get to them before you can take the helmet off and let your hair blow in the breeze.
![]() ![]() Later generations of ferries still run from Hoboken's piers. This innovation would be employed by ferries to Manhattan. In 1784, the land now occupied by Stevens Institute of Technology was purchased by John Stevens, who would later reverse-engineer the British steam locomotive to American standards for domestic manufacture. The Stevenses influenced American engineering for decades, designing steamboats, locomotives, railroad tracks and a host of other technical innovations that powered the early United States. Stevens Institute of Technology is named for "America's First Family of inventors" - the Stevens family. Stevens Institute of Technology Campus Tour History Establishment and the Stevens family External video ![]() Two members of the Stevens community, as alumni or faculty, have been awarded the Nobel Prize: Frederick Reines (class of 1939), in physics, and Irving Langmuir (Chemistry faculty 1906–1909), in chemistry. Stevens is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity." The university is home to two national Centers of Excellence as designated by the U.S. Graduate students can pursue advanced degrees in more than 50 different designations ranging from graduate certificates and master's degrees to Ph.D. At the graduate level, Stevens offers programs in engineering, science, systems, engineering, management and the liberal arts. For undergraduates, Stevens offers the Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). Schaefer, Jr., School of Engineering and Science, School of Business, School of Systems and Enterprises, and College of Arts and Letters. Stevens comprises three schools and one college that deliver technology-based STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees and degrees in business, arts, humanities and social sciences: The Charles V. The 55-acre campus encompasses Castle Point, the highest point in Hoboken, a campus green and 43 academic, student and administrative buildings.Įstablished through an 1868 bequest from Edwin Augustus Stevens, enrollment at Stevens includes more than 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students representing 47 states and 60 countries throughout Asia, Europe and Latin America. Founded in 1870, it is one of the oldest technological universities in the United States and was the first college in America solely dedicated to mechanical engineering. ![]() Stevens Institute of Technology is a private research university in Hoboken, New Jersey. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even if you don't, the impact of that turn-based confrontation will still change things.Īs you take more territory, you get more resources that can be spent on your troops. When you engage with an enemy on the map, you get to exchange fire before jumping into an RTS battle, and if you do enough damage you can wipe them out before the main fight. ![]() Everything you can do in a real-time fight, you can do on the turn-based map, whether it's using your air force to scout an area, your engineers to remove mines or your artillery to demolish enemy units. Relic has created a 'holistic loop' that keeps the campaigns feeling inextricably linked to the RTS battles. You'll have discrete objectives, but otherwise you can explore and conquer these maps however you want, letting you make your own route to victory. How do Company of Heroes 3's campaigns work?Ĭompany of Heroes 3's campaigns are turn-based and take place on huge maps evocative of Total War. I had to liberate some partisan forces first, and then by making choices that favoured them, I unlocked a bunch of convenient perks. Instead, you'll use them on the campaign map to create traps and snatch up enemy intel. ![]() The partisans are a special faction in that you won't be commanding them like a normal army. The cooperation and tension between the Allies is a big part of the campaigns, so you'll need to juggle the desires of your subcommanders, who include an Italian partisan liaison. Importantly, you will actually be able to command both at the same time, giving you a very large toy box to play with. You'll be able to play as the German, UK and US forces, though on the campaign you'll just be playing the Allies. What Company of Heroes 3 factions will be playable? Interestingly, we've also heard that the selection of Italy as a setting was a choice made by the player council Relic is working with. "So the players are going to go through and play each mission one after the other and experience that whole story start to finish as we tell it to them." "The North African operation is a linear story," senior mission designer David Milne told me during its reveal. The North African campaign is a more straightforward RTS campaign than the open map of Italy. What I could have done in four hours took me 11. I played through a small slice where I had to take Monte Cassino, giving me a road to Rome, but along with my main objective were countless other battles, side missions and territory to conquer. We've only seen Italy, and it seems massive. You'll duke it out in a campaign set across Italy, and North Africa has now been confirmed as well, where you'll conquer territory, get into skirmishes and fight bespoke battles. After fighting through the Western and Eastern Fronts, Company of Heroes is now heading to the Mediterranean. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was originally sold to Moonrise Crystals as just “Jasper” but the next year was sold as “Picasso Jasper.” In the 2020s it was renamed Huanucite by a new Peruvian lapidary, because the Jasper is mined in Huanuco, Peru. It can be a very deep blood red or can be pink and is usually mixed with white Snow Quartz. Picasso Jasper can be considered a type of Red Jasper or Brecciated Jasper. Because so many different types of stones may be referred to as a Jasper, it is difficult to know exactly which stone is being referenced in ancient and medieval writings. The name Jasper is also given to a variety of spotted rocks, most often a form of Rhyolite, for example, Ocean Jasper. However, non-spotted chalcedony is often sold using the name Jasper, as is the case with Red Jasper. It comes from the French word jaspre, which literally means “spotted or speckled stone” Some Jaspers are “true Jaspers,” meaning they are an opaque variety of spotted Chalcedony, like Brecciated Jasper. The name “Jasper” is a generic name given to any spotted or multicolored stone. ![]() Try it in combination with Barite, Mangano Calcite, Pyrite, and Rhodonite. Picasso Jasper’s energy works well with its “friends” – crystal associates formed in the same geological environment. It is mainly composed of Red Jasper and/or pinkish Jasper and Snow Quartz. Picasso Jasper is a type of Brecciated Jasper that has a specific deposit. ![]() If the trace minerals are larger, able to be viewed with the naked eye, the Jasper will be spotted like Brecciated Jasper. If the trace minerals are microscopic, the Jasper can have a single uniform color, as is the case with Red Jasper, which gets its vibrant coloring from iron. As the water flows, it picks up an assortment of other trace minerals which give Jasper its coloring and patterns. Jasper is formed long afterwards, when silica-bearing water permeates the rocks and begins to fill these crevices. Following volcanic activity, magma and lava are slowly transformed into igneous rocks broken up with cracks, fissures, other hollows. Most Picture Jaspers are found igneous rocks. Jaspers typically form in the cavities of igneous rocks, but it can also be found in metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Try it in combination with Bloodstone, Brecciated Jasper, Desert Jasper, Mookaite Jasper, Picture Jasper, and Yellow Jasper. Picasso Jasper’s energy works well with its family – other true Jaspers. These are typically grouped together under the name Chalcedony, or it’s subcategories Agate and Jasper. Microcrystalline quartz has crystals so small they can only be seen through a microscope. Macrocrystalline quartz has well-formed crystals that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye, for example, Amethyst or Clear Quartz. The Quartz family can be further divided into two categories, macrocrystalline and microcrystalline, all of which can be colorless or appear in every shade of the rainbow. There are six main groups of Silicate minerals, and these main groups are further subdivided into secondary subdivisions, such as Quartz and Feldspar. These tetrahedra connect with other chemical structures, in six different ways, to form various minerals and rocks. Together, these two elements form a tetrahedron – a shape similar to a pyramid – with a Silicon atom in the center and Oxygen atoms at each of the four corners. Silicates are minerals which contain the elements Silicon (a light gray shiny metal) and Oxygen (a colorless gas). LEARN MORE ABOUT ROOT CHAKRA CRYSTALS HERE.Picasso Jasper is a Silicate mineral.

![]() Assuming weight of 70 kg and a tidal volume of 6 ml/kg, minute ventilation for an adult is 12 breaths/min X 70 kg X 6 ml/breath*kg = 5040 ml/min or 72 ml/kg/min.Īs can be seen, a newborn uses, and therefore has to humidify, 3.5 times as much air every minute as an adult. Wth a weight of 3 kg and a tidal volume of 6 ml/kg, the minute ventilation is 40 breaths/min X 3kg X 6 ml/breath*kg = 720 ml/min, or 240 ml/kg/min. Unless the ambient humidity is 100%, inspired air has to be humidified. Respiratory losses are dependent on the respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume. Of course, these statements assume normal body temperature and identical ambient temperature and humidity.ġ. Transcutaneous evaporative water loss/kg follows the same pattern. The BSA/kg body weight is highest in newborns and lowest in adults. Transcutaneous evaporative water loss depends on body surface area (BSA).Respiratory water loss/kg follows the same pattern. MR/kg is highest in newborns and lowest in adults. The MR does not rise linearly with increase in body weight. The amount of air breathed depends on oxygen need and carbon dioxide production, which in turn depend on the metabolic rate (MR).Unless the ambient relative humidity is 100%, this air needs to be humidified, and the water used for humidification is breathed out. Respiratory water loss is a function of the amount of air that is moved in and out of the lungs, or breathed, per unit time.Note: water loss in normal stool is inconsequential. What is the other major insensible route of water loss? Check out the cards below. This is water that is used to humidify inspired air and is then breathed out as water vapor. Urine, of course is a "sensible" loss - it can be seen, felt, and measured! You've lost it, but you don't know that you've lost it (and, of course, you do not know how much you have lost.) "Insensible" losses can neither be perceived nor measured directly. If you've lost it, you know you've lost it! "Sensible" loss is loss that can be perceived by the senses and can be measured. Water loss from the body is said to be either "sensible" or "insensible". Photo by Konstantin Tavrov from Photospin For this, we need to know the routes of water loss and be familiar with the physiologic and pathological determinants of the rate of loss from each route. To be able to calculate daily water requirement, we need to be able to estimate daily water loss in individuals of different ages. Conventionally, water requirement is calculated in daily, or 24-hour, increments. The need for water over any period of time is equal to the loss of water over that period of time. The only absolute reason to drink water is to replace losses. So how much water does a person need in a day? To answer this question, we must ask another. Maintenance fluids are necessary to maintain homeostasis when a patient is unable to intake the required water and should be prescribed, ordered, dosed, and delivered like any other drug. You, the prescribing physician, must decide how much fluid to administer. But what about a person who is receiving only intravenous fluids or gavage feeding? In this individual, the thirst mechanism has been bypassed. So, we rely on thirst to guide water intake. The thirst-creating mechanism is exquisitely sensitive to an increase in plasma osmolality and as long as there is free access to water, intake will never be less than the need. We do not have to keep track of our fluid intake. We drink water, or a water-containing beverage, five to ten times a day.

However, during times when you have your CPU loaded up, you will see a dramatic increase in responsiveness if the problem is CPU bound and ProBalance is able to cope with it. So if you are barely taxing your system, you aren’t going to see much difference in responsiveness. ProBalance also does not act just to pretend to be doing something. However, ProBalance does always keep you protected from that ‘worst case’ scenario, which you may encounter at some point, and it will save you from an improper shutdown.
