In his free time, he headed the school’s physics department - which, incidentally, didn’t exist until Allison founded it. ![]() For the next thirteen years, he would alternate, spending one year working on his science degree at Johns Hopkins University, then one year teaching science at Emory and Henry. He did that for a couple of years until the college president suggested that he pursue an advanced degree. Right after graduating from Emory and Henry College, he became a professor of algebra, history, and English. Why don’t we meet a few of them? 3įred Allison was born on the fourth of July, 1882, and his intelligence was apparent from the start. Many of them are among the most respected names in chemistry, even if they’re not quite household names like the Curies. Much like technetium, element 85 has a long history of scientists claiming its discovery, only for those claims to later be invalidated. While the others in this file are nonmetallic and diatomic, with an existential preference for the gaseous state of matter, there’s a good chance astatine is a monatomic solid, and it sits right in that blurred demarcation between metals and nonmetals. Things start to get a little weird down there. It’s predicted to be a little odd compared to its siblings - pretty much all of the elements near the bottom of the table are. Astatine would probably be a lot like the others, but it’s hard to know for sure - it’s exceptionally difficult to study, thanks to its aforementioned rarity as well as its radioactivity. The element is one of the halogens, those caustic, highly reactive elements from fluorine down. In the entirety of the planet’s crust, there are only a few grams of astatine. The writers at Time were more accurate than they might have known in their assessment of element 85, because astatine is the rarest element to naturally occur on Earth. Today, we’ll peer down the spectroscope at astatine. Each episode, we take a look at the fascinating true stories behind one element on the periodic table. You’re listening to The Episodic Table Of Elements, and I’m T. It even made the pages of Time magazine in 1931, where it was dubbed “the rarest and most fugitive thing on earth.” 1 Thankfully, chemists finally did apprehend the rogue atom, so we shouldn’t have nearly as much trouble learning about it today. It gained notoriety in the early 20th century for being one of the most elusive elements that scientists were looking for. ![]() In very rare instances, theorists sometimes used the prefixes dvi- and tri-, for two or three places lower on the periodic table.īut there exists a world of difference between proposing something’s existence and proving that thing’s existence. “Eka” was the Sanskrit word for “one,” so he was basically calling them “boron-plus-one,” “silicon-plus-one,” and so on. Wherever his predicted elements belonged on the table, he’d take the name of the element directly above and add the prefix “eka.” Eka-boron, eka-silicon, eka-manganese, et cetera. He called it “eka-iodine,” following a common schema for his placeholder names of predicted elements. ![]() ![]() Episode ScriptĪstatine was one of the several elements predicted to exist by Dmitry Mendeleev back when he first drew up a periodic table.

![]() In Ontario, meanwhile, doctors rarely use the SIMARD-MD test, says Shawn Marshall, a doctor who is researching driving habits of seniors for the CanDrive research project. The Ministries of Transportation of BC and Alberta recommend that doctors administer the SIMARD-MD test for seniors they suspect may have cognitive issues that prevent them from driving safely. How doctors decide whether a person’s medical condition should be reported to the Ministry of Transportation varies by province and by individual doctor. Depending on the information in the doctor’s report, transportation authorities may suspend the license immediately (if a person has advanced Alzheimer’s, for example), or they might request further medical or road testing. “If a doctor believes that a patient may harm him/herself and/or others by continuing to drive, they are ethically obligated to report,” writes Kelly Eby, director of communications at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. But even in those provinces, doctors’ professional bodies recommend reporting. In Alberta, Nova Scotia and Quebec, doctors aren’t legally mandated to report unsafe or potentially unsafe drivers. In most provinces, when doctors think someone shouldn’t drive or are unsure, they are required to send a report on that person’s medical condition to their provincial Ministry of Transportation. How doctors decide when to refer a senior who may be unfit to drive Importantly, however, when it comes to the risk they pose to others, teenagers and drivers in their 20s are much more likely to kill other people on the road than seniors are.Ĭurrently, there’s wide variability in how doctors evaluate a senior person’s driving fitness, and whether they assess it at all. In 2013, drivers 65+ made up almost 20% of driver fatalities caused by collisions, compared to 13% in the 20-24 age group, even though the age groups had the same rate of driver injury. Although senior drivers don’t have more accidents than younger drivers, they are more likely to die in a crash due to increased susceptibility to injury and medical complications, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The decision to remove someone’s license can also prevent deaths. When Frank recommended a male patient not drive last week, for example, “his wife was very relieved,” he says. In other cases, however, family members have been pleading with their loved one not to get behind the wheel, to no avail, and appreciate a decision from an objective authority. “They feel they’re a bother to everyone if they ask for rides,” says Carol Libman, a consultant with CARP Canada, a seniors advocacy organization. It can also have negative repercussions for patients. “Some patients don’t go back to a doctor who has recommended they don’t drive,” says Chris Frank, a geriatrician and palliative care doctor in Kingston, Ontario. When doctors recommend a patient not drive, it can seriously damage a doctor-patient relationship. “I feel like I’m going downhill,” he says. He misses being able to go shopping or to the barber on his own, but the psychological blow of losing his license has hit him the hardest. “You can’t win for losing,” says Saltarski.ĭue to the failed tests, Saltarski no longer has a license. And when he took a second test, the examiner failed him for driving too slow. He failed that test because the examiner said he exceeded the speed limit in a school zone (which Saltarski disputes). For one part of the test, he was asked to name some vegetables he would see in a grocery store.īased on the results from that doctor’s office test, Saltarski was referred to the Ministry of Transportation and was required to do a road test. The first doctor he saw in the province administered a test, called SIMARD MD, aimed at detecting cognitive impairments that can interfere with driving. At age 87, he drove across the country to move closer to his son in Chilliwack, British Columbia. A former bus driver, he’d only had one minor accident in his life. Joe Saltarski, an 89-year-old who lost his license earlier this year, thinks the current way doctors test senior drivers is unfair. And as baby boomers age, doctors will increasingly have to weigh the safety of their patient and others, with their patient’s desire for independence and mobility. But the line between fit and unfit to drive is difficult to define, especially for seniors with multiple cognitive, sensory and/or physical issues. Doctors are expected to report people who have a medical condition that prevents them from being able to drive safely. ![]() Several parties will entertain, give a charge of cheerfulness and good mood.Hearts may call to mind card games like spades plus cribbage plus euchre – but if you don’t play those games, don’t worry – this free Hearts game will teach you how to play with our intuitive AI. The game of hearts is addicting, but when fighting virtual opponents, you do not risk losing money. If you do not intend to collect all the bribes or want to prevent another player from doing it, try not to take bribes with hearts and the notorious lady. ![]() ![]() Remember which cards are out of the game, whether there is still a queen of spades and how many hearts are left in your hands. If there are no worms and no queen of spades in the bribe, no points are added during the calculation.Later, the likelihood of collecting worms increases. It is advisable to play cards of high value at the beginning of the game, while the players have these suits.This is especially important if you have an ace of spades and a king left. If you got the Queen of Spades, it is better to get rid of it not during the transfer, but during the game.When transferring three cards at the beginning of the game, discard large ones - aces, kings.The winner comes out with the minimum number of points. The player who first gets 100 points loses. The player who took all the hearts and the queen of spades gets zero points, but the other three add 26 to themselves. When scoring, each heart card is worth one point, the Queen of Spades is worth 13 points. The first card of the drawing is considered the main one, the trick is taken by the one whose card is of the same suit and the highest one. In the first round, you cannot lay out hearts and queen of spades. The players play a card of the same suit in a clockwise direction, and if there is no one, any other. The game always starts with a two of clubs. In a computer game, the transfer occurs automatically, but the choice of cards is yours. In some cases, cards are not transferred. There is a transfer scheme by which cards are sent to the player to the left, right or opposite. At the beginning of the game, each player must give the other three cards of their choice. Rules of the gameĪ deck of 52 cards is divided equally, each receives 13 cards, their value increases from two to ace. The goal of the game is to score the minimum number of points. Hearts is a card game for four participants, in the computer version three of them are virtual. This is a great way to relax, have fun and test your luck. Hearts are not complex card games, but they are not so simple that you could be distracted by other thoughts during the tour. To play together, take a deck of 36 cards. In this case, a two of diamonds is thrown from the deck. A variant of the game of hearts in three is possible.One of the characters calls whist a bridge for fools, and hearts - a bridge for complete fools. The protagonist of the second story and his fellow students are passionate about this game. Hearts are mentioned in Stephen King's book Hearts in Atlantis.Then they replaced the names with the names of the cardinal points and stopped asking for the username. That was the name of the wife of an advanced Microsoft employee, another employee of this company, and the son of a third Microsoft employee. Before Vista, three opponents were named Pauline, Michelle and Ben. Since Vista, the name has changed, the multiplayer function has been removed in Windows XP. Later, the game was included in almost all versions of Windows. The app was called The Microsoft Hearts Network. With this game, Microsoft demonstrated the simultaneous participation of multiple players online. Worms were known long before computers were invented they entered Windows in 1992. Four players try to score as few points as possible, the number of which depends on the presence of hearts in tricks. The payoff does not depend on randomness, but on the ability to assess the situation and form a strategy. The card game of hearts is popular due to its relative simplicity. ![]() But it's a culture you shouldn't join on Wii today, if you missed it on PC years ago. But, strange as it was, it facilitated the creation of some funny Internet videos in which the puppets would decapitate each other, unleashing gratuitous amounts of blood - and that was enough to create an entire, dedicated Toribash culture. What they ended up with, though, was an odd and erratic proof of concept with interesting physics, starring a couple of weird multi-jointed puppet characters wildly flailing against each other. The concept was noble, as its developers had grown tired of the accepted norm of button-mashing mindlessness in one-on-one fighting games and sought to create something more true to actual combat. Physics should at least be fairly realistic, not low grav like in Toribash, wit the Autobalance it should be doable.The game got its start as a independent PC project back in 2006. Graphics shouldn't be state of the art hyper-realistic but it should at least represent actual humans. If you've seen Wanted the final fight scene should at least be partially possible in the game. Weapons should be quite common in the game like swords, pistols and sub-machine guns but with limited ammo. Since you can pause time whenever you want it should be possible to dodge bullets. ![]() Green line means the enemy is just targeting you, a red line means the gun is fired and a bullet is on its way. When an enemy targets you with a weapon you'll see a red line that represents the trajectory of a potential bullet. You could even have a level where you have to do a silly walk.Įnemies will either be unarmed or have swords, pistols or sub-machine guns. Single-player: It could be a set of challenges like being surrounded by X amount of enemies, survive for X amount of minutes, fight in a hallway like Oldboy, Kill X amount of enemies. ![]() If you're happy with your current list of moves you press and hold space to let the time run whatever speed you want, at least in single-player. In principle you can make one long list of moves but since the timeline only affects your character and not the enemies this wouldn't be very smart. On the timeline you see what part moves in what time and how long it takes. Depending on the speed you want certain movements take longer to slow down. Once you're happy with it it shows you a ghost movement in 2 ways, green is the movement and red is how much it needs to slow down again. You can also select a part of your character's body and move to the position you want it to be with different camera angles helping you to be precise. If an action will make him unable to keep his balance you'll get a warning to either turn the auto balance off or not do that particular move. You can also edit the movements after you select them.ĪutoBalance: There should be an option where your character will try to keep his balance with his legs when you make him move around. Legs: Kick, Go to, Jump, Runjump, get up (when on the ground)Īll those presets give you the option of amount (angle) and speed, for attack moves you have to select a destination or target. Head: look up, look down, a whole list of facial expressions In the menus you find preset animations like: Triple camera: top, side, normal view for extra precision. Joints camera: Where the camera shows your character's joint points that you can manipulate, similar to how Toribash looks. Normal camera: Where the camera just shows your character from a third person. The rest of the screen is a view of your character with different camera modes such as: To the left you have menus for the same parts + a way to record and use your own moves. The basic idea: So you have your screen, on the bottom you have a timeline divided in head, arms, torso and legs. With all these flaws I did like the core idea behind it, with some additions and fixes a new game with the same concept could be awesome if done right. While the game had a whole list of modes it all felt a bit flat, weapons weren't really interesting leading to one mode being played most of the time. The characters looked more like crash test dummies and the maps were just empty rooms While it was a good idea it did have some problems.įights didn't look realistic, it mostly just looked like 2 flailing bodies trying to hit eachother. Years ago I played Toribash, it's a fighting game where you stretch or contract the joints of your character during a set time, the game then moves your character depending on how you set the joints. ![]() We have had a lovely, bright and busy week in Year 7, we have so much to be proud of!ģ3 of our year 7’s attended a trip to The University of York on Wednesday.

Xeno first appears in the story as Commander Klaus. Some time between the Kashmistan incident and the beginning of the story, he was appointed Knight Grand Master. Three years before the story, during Hrodulf's betrayal of the knights and murder of the Earth Witch Sayija, he set Kashmistan on fire to implicate the Harbingers and hasten the Anthem Program's execution and therefore the return of Mother Qualia. Seventeen years before the story, he created Giselle as a servant for himself, and some time after that, he must have joined the Regnant Knights under the identity of "Klaus," worked his way into Queen Anastasia's trust, and suggested the Anthem Program. ![]() Not much is known about Xeno's actions in the one thousand years that passed between Elcrest's journey and the time of the story, but he was presumably on Earth carrying out Mother Qualia's wishes and setting the stage for her return. However, after the group retreated, Eve did not kill him, choosing instead to corrupt him into serving her, making him into her "doll." ![]() However, when Elcrest was set on corruptive fire by Eve, Xeno sacrificed himself to save Elcrest, telling Hilda to take care of Elcrest and throwing himself into the flame to push Elcrest out and give time for the rest of the group to retreat. He was meant to stay on Earth to look after the kingdom when Elcrest, Veronica, and the past Witches went to fight Mother Qualia, but he came after Elcrest out of concern and joined them in the journey up and the battle. ![]() He was very close friends with Elcrest and accompanied him on his journey to recruit the Witches and challenge god. One thousand years ago, Xeno was the first king and creator of the Regnant Kingdom. His face is unblackened, but it has cracks running across it, no eyebrows, and a mouth that resembles a totally black void and cracks open at the edges if he opens it too widely. His body is covered with white and blue mechanical armor, the few parts that are exposed blackened and almost skeletal, with glowing red lines running across them. He wore a long red and white cape with gold and while armor pauldrons on it, black gloves, black pants, gold gauntlets, gold armored boots, a white cravat, a long red, gold, and black coat, and a thin belt.Īs an angel, his hair is wavier and, though it's still blond at the top, turns red near the ends his eyes are glowing red with black sclerae. His facial structure was a little different from his in the present day, with deeper- and wider-set eyes, thinner eyebrows, slightly larger lips, a squarer chin, and paler skin. He was around the same height but with a slightly heavier build, and he had chin-length dark brown hair with long bangs pushed out of his face and dark brown eyes. In his original form from a thousand years ago, he appeared to be in his late teens to early adulthood. X clothes, he wears a white suit with a black turtleneck underneath and a gold necklace. He has a long white and gold cape with a large clasp, which his white cravat is tucked into, and black gloves. In his knight outfit, he wears white and gold armor with a long blue, white, and gold coat underneath. Personality Klaus Xeno Past Present Appearance Īs Klaus, Xeno is a tall blonde man with chin-length, slightly messy blond hair with long bangs falling over his face, very bright cyan eyes, and a slender but muscular build. He is composed at all times and has a sharp mind, holding a business-like attitude to everything. He is trusted greatly by Queen Anastasia and her advisors. He is not only a captain of the knights, but a scholar as well. Klaus was the first Grand Master appointed at such a young age.

Poor countries often have no choice but to repay loans in dollars, no matter what the exchange rate was when they first borrowed the money. The most vulnerable face the biggest blowback. “I can’t remember the last time when the issue was that a strong dollar was a way the United States was exporting inflation, extinguishing some of its own, but by adding more of it around the world,” said Jason Furman, an economics professor at Harvard who was a chief economic adviser in the Obama administration. Cheaper imports are helping keep American inflation in check. A €50 box of Belgian chocolates has gone from $58.50 to $48.32. Last year, a £12 tin of tea from Britain cost $16.44, and today it costs $13.03. Today - purely because of the strengthening dollar - that same $100 payment costs 1,950 Egyptian pounds 143,158 won and 43,650 naira.Īmerican buyers, meanwhile, are getting a bargain. Still, they must pay more for essential imports like oil, wheat or pharmaceuticals as well as for loan bills due from billion-dollar debts.Ĭonsider that a year ago, $100 worth of oil or a $100 debt payment cost 1,572 Egyptian pounds, 117,655 Korean won, and 41,244 Nigerian naira.Īssume there had been no price increases or inflation. The dollar is clobbering other currencies as well, including the Brazilian real, the South Korean won and the Tunisian dinar. The euro, used by 19 nations across Europe, reached 1-to-1 parity with the dollar in June for the first time since 2002. Roughly 40 percent of the world’s transactions are done in dollars, whether the United States is involved or not, according to a study done by the International Monetary Fund.Īnd now, the value of the dollar compared with other major currencies like the Japanese yen has reached a decades-long high. So is a lot of the debt owed by developing nations. Energy and food tend to be priced in dollars when bought and sold on the world market. That is because the dollar is the world’s reserve currency - the one that multinational corporations and financial institutions, no matter where they are, most often use to price goods and settle accounts. When it comes to global finance and trade, though, its influence is outsize. The United States is a superpower with the world’s largest economy and hefty reserves of oil and natural gas. Policy decisions made in Washington frequently reverberate widely. At the same time, he said, the Fed has no choice but to act aggressively to control inflation: “Any delay in action could make things potentially even worse.” “For the rest of the world, it’s a no-win situation,” said Eswar Prasad, an economics professor at Cornell and author of several books on currencies. ![]() This is exactly the same size as the original installer app that I can't get to work. The "Disk Creator" app has given me a drive (Sony USB stick) called, "Install macOS Sierra", which only has one visible file on it - "Install macOS Sierra.app", which is 4,965,270,857 bytes in size.

I read somewhere that installing from a recovery partition might do it, but I have none 'cause my spinner's baseline installation was created via an image restoration of Sierra. It remains in this state as long as I leave it. Now that this hurdle has been negotiated, the installation seems to initiate, but the progress bar reads "About 7 minutes remaining" with 0% coloured in. I managed to get around this by setting the time and date to anything around 2 years ago, an action inspired by my El Cap experience where I had to specify a time 1 day after the app's creation date. The installer provided a long message (2 sentences that I can't even remember the gist of right now other than to "try running the installer again") that prevented the installation process' starting. This is the clean installation I've put off for many years, but having deleted my previous full / fat one (the 840 EVO), I'm now stuck in this bare-bones spinner partition, dead-in-the-water and apparently not getting anywhere in a hurry.
