In 1832, Prudence Crandall, a schoolteacher raised as a Quaker, stirred controversy when she opened the Canterbury Female Boarding School and admitted black girls as students. All united with uncommon unanimity in plans for village improvement and public benefit, and it was in carrying out one of these projects that they struck upon the rock which foundered them. Pleasant familiar intercourse was maintained among the village residents. His own tact and courtesy made ample amends for his wife's reputed deficiencies. Her husband, who liked to rally her upon this weakness, once called her down to the parlor to receive a Windham visitor, and most blandly presented to her an intrusive frog, which had hopped into the hall. Judson as a Windham lady assumed superiority over her neighbors.

12/3/2023 0 Comments Copper rivets for leatherI haven't had that problem with any of my #9s from a few different sources. Some guys have said that the domer on Bob's will sometimes overlap a #9 head (I think it is sold as an 8/9?). My wife will tell other makers or look at something in a shop and comment that they should get a set from Bob. There are a few things I would not do without, and my wife says the setters are one of 'em. One sets the burr, one peens the shank after it is cut to length, and the third domes the head. Bob Douglas makes a three piece set for each of the three common sizes. Shameless plug, I am in not way afilliated, etc. Just saw this thread, I set quite a lot of copper rivets. I would also like to make a bag with copper rivets, but then I would also need copper plated double capped jiffys, and I'm not sure if they are even made.Īnyway, I'm calling Hansens tomorrow to get their prices on the solid brass rivets. I would use the double-capped brass jiffy rivets in all other places. I think I may have a solution though: use the solid brass rivets only on those areas that bear a load, three in the handle assembly (backs will be concealed under suede lining) and for each of the two shoulder strap D-ring fobs (if I really want to obsess, I could work out away to conceal this rivet back too, hmmmm). My only concern with the solid rivets is that the rivet backs on my straps and two locations on the back of the briefcase (unless I forgo rivets here) will be exposed, and the look of the smashed down post onto the burr is not the most elegant. ![]() I want to make sure a rivet never pops out on a customer. I get the feel that this is the strongest hold, especially for parts of my briefcases that have to bear a 30lbs load, though thick saddlestitching is also used in these areas. I like the method of using brute force to smash down the rivet post onto the burr. Now I'm thinking of going with solid rivets. For steel tubular rivets I stuck with OTB, about $5 for 100 and about $4 for 100 caps (brass plated only, old stock at that). I was trying to work with them six months ago but they didn't have the sizes I needed. ![]() Can you tell me exactly what head type and size of tubular rivets you ordered from Hansens. 12/3/2023 0 Comments Visual studio example code![]() Using system: These are usually called as Imports, we are importing just one namespace here "System", We can import other namespaces and use them in our program, but here only "System" namespace is required, because of Console.WriteLine method.Īlthough you can see we can easily create a new console application in Visual Studio code and even create.If we didn't use the statement, we would have to use the fully qualified name of the WriteLine() method: ("Hello World"). This line was the reason to import the namespace with the using System statement. Note that Console class is part of the System namespace. The class represents the standard input, output, and error streams for console applications. To print a message to the console, we use the WriteLine() method of the Console class. In this code line, we print the "Hello World" string to the console. Console.WriteLine(“Hello World”): WriteLine is the method used for writing on the console application. ![]() string args: It is string array which is used to store the command line arguments.Main is the method name, in console application, main method is the method which is required and runs/executes first. A method can have a scope, the type of data it returns, a name to be referenced from other code, list of arguments that it can take. Methods can be used to create functionalities for a class. Main: Method is a logical representation of a behavior.void: void is a return type of the main method.We don’t need to create object to access static variable. static: It is a keyword which is used to declare the class variable.A class is a piece of code that defines how a class of objects should behave, and what properties they can have. class: it’s a keyword which is used to define class.These sub namespaces are also namespaces in their own scope, but may have to be referenced using the parent namespace. namespace: Namespace is a collection of collection of classes and sub namespaces.If you are new C# and want's to understand the code, here is the code explanation, which we have explained here So, if you want to run and compile the above code, you can simply type "dotnet run" in the terminal to see the output Now we just need to compile the above code and get the output. Once everything is done, you will see output like below Select and click on "Program.cs" to open it, once you will open it, VS Code might ask you to install "C#" Extension if not correctly installed and enabled on Step 1, then install it. Once the command is executed successfully, you will see new files were generated. Now, Select "Terminal"-> "New terminal" and then run command "dotnet new console" (remeber to select "powershell" as your default shell before running this command) Now open VS Code, navigate to "File"-> "Open Folder", open the folder which we have just created above. I will create it inside "E:\" as "CSharpVSCode" Now, we need to create new C# project,so create a new folder on "Dekstop" or on C:\ or anywhere else on your PC, basically wherever you prefer.

Visual Studio Code, is a great and lightweight code Editor, which has simple and easy interface. In previous post, I have explained how you can create Hello World Program in C# using Visual Studio, and have also explained it in First C# Hello World program of tutorial, so in this post I am going to provide you details of creating C# Hello World program using Visual Studio Code, light weighted IDE. 12/3/2023 0 Comments Palm springs weather december 2016![]() This demonstrates the large amount of heat experienced this winter but not all together disproportionate from standard norms, giving a clear explanation to the large number of tropical specimens grown throughout South Florida. In fact, Miami was nearly triple the amount of growing units experienced in the western United States. South Texas and South and Central Florida were extremely warm with over double the growing units experienced in the western United States. Orlando experienced a winter high temperature in February 2017 of 86☏, a low of 35☏ in January 2017 with total growing units of 1549 for the three months. Brownsville experienced a winter high of 95☏ in January 2017, a low of 30☏ in January 2017 and total growing units of 1713 for the three months. The minimum temperature was 51☏ in January 2017 and total growing units were 2141 for the three months. ![]() Miami experienced a winter high temperature of 87☏ during all three months of the winter. Miami, Brownsville and Orlando all experienced extraordinarily warm conditions this winter. Without question, the cool nature of the winter experienced in the western United States also was created by the high precipitation and attendant cloudy conditions. Phoenix experienced a winter high of 83☏ in February 2017, a low of 35° F in January 2017 with growing days totaling 735 units. Palm Springs experienced a winter high temperature of 85☏ in February 2017, a low of 37F in January 2017 with growing days totaling 778 units. ![]() Los Angeles experienced a winter high temperature in December 2016 of 80° F, a low of 40F in January 2017 and growing days totaling 629 units for the three months. Subtropical regions such as Houston, New Orleans and Jacksonville were also comparatively warm although Houston and New Orleans did experience temperatures in the low 20s F. South Texas and South and Central Florida were extremely warm. Every year is different but this year the Western US was cool. The maximum and minimum temperatures together with the growing days reveal with great precision the climate of each region. Winter is over for the majority of Palm growing regions of the United States. 12/3/2023 0 Comments Cancel blue acorn applicationI receive there infamous Not Approved No funds no appeal final decision email status update within seconds of receiving my complaint. After i complain and advise of local news story. Yet it gets to last days possible to fund then after assured repetitively that if i have a SBA loan # i 100% for sure will be funded. Claimed bank rejected, but bank never received anything to reject. Same response to support tickets or chat with customer service. So that alone is only statement Blueacorn made that was true. I received sba loan # and status to disbursed current within 6 days from applying. After I sent the information back to blue acorn on July 21,2021 that same day I got a text saying we initiated the funds to your account (now remind you this is the 2nd time they initiated funds to my account) and it will be there 7-10 business days! I put a ticket in to blue acorn 10 business days later to see if my card had got sent out yet and a day later they said they couldn’t approve me with funding after I was already approved since and once you’re approved by the sba the funds are supposed to be available to you no matter what! Blue acorn is going to have to come out alot of money when we all sue them especially the ones who lost their business because blue acorn lied about funding! If the sba doesn’t do anything I’ve already contacted a lawyer as well! Nearly two months later on July 19th after not hearing anything from blue acorn I get a text saying they need additional information basically saying They need to see my 1040, so I sent that back and they made me opt out for a prepaid card as well. I’ve contacted the sba and filed a complaint on blue acorn because not only on the sba website shows I’ve been disbursed like I’ve gotten my loan, I’ve been approved since may 11,2021,and on May 27,2021 signed documents and shortly after got a text saying initiated funds to my account and it would take 7-10 business days. And i have sent them all this documentation!!! We all need to speak up. My business is legit i file income tax that proves it. I don't understand how all this can be legal after hundreds of people have had the same experience with this company. I have also put a complaint into Better Business Bureau as hundreds of others already had done. Something needs to be followed up w this knowing what hardship they are causing onto others. I have put emails out to the appropriate people to be looked into it!! Im livid to no end. Then a month later i emailed them wondering what was going on w my funds, i was then told i was no longer approved. ![]() I was later asked to update banking info and turn in more documentation verifying my business income, which i did in THEIR time frame and then again they said i would be funded. I was approved w my SBA number months later funded and then it was rejected and i only used this account because the one i use for my business wasn't excepted by Blue Acorn. I have had the same experience with BlueAcorn that everyone else is having or had with them. ***UPDATE*** I CORRECTED MY REVIEW AS I'M STILL LIVID BUT I'VE CALMED DOWN!! I have given 1 star only because i have to in order to write a review. Only about 30% of people got their loans with BlueAcorn. If you’re are not funded by now, you won’t be funded regardless if they are telling you to be patient and that your funds are earmarked to you. That’s why they have being MASS denial for two months using the excuse of “were unable to fund your loan due to either not being able to verify your identity, wrong banking info, didn’t provide correct documents, etc” when in reality they can’t fund us because it’s entirely their fault but they want to point fingers at us to justify letting us down. ![]() ![]() They got money hungry trying to accept many applications so they could get commission from the government even though they know they couldn’t handle it. The truth is they are NOT following SBA guidelines and your funds are not secured if you are under Blue Acorn. It’s funny they keep telling people on here “once you’re SBA approved the funds is earmarked to you and you are not at risk of losing your funds regardless of time” even though myself and tens of thousands of people waited for 4 months just to get a denial email even though I provided everything they needed and also my bank information was accurate. 12/3/2023 0 Comments Fragments movie 2008![]() The most successful single‐trial MEG classification so far was 60.1% (with cross‐validation) for nine auditorily presented words in a set of 900 trials however, the result was from a single subject only. Previously, single words or phrases have been associated with MEG/EEG responses on the basis of pattern classification either single‐trial or averaged response waveforms were matched to prototype waveforms of each class of words or phrases, created by averaging over tens or hundreds of trials in 3–48 classes. ![]() ![]() Here we introduce a novel signal‐analysis approach that attempts to extract MEG responses elicited by continuous speech and even enables us to identify, on the basis of the MEG signature, the related speech fragment. The main reason has been the lack of suitable data analysis methods for nonaveraged ongoing MEG/EEG signals. magnetoencephalographic (MEG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. The speech sounds naturally leave traces to the listener's brain activity, but still it has remained highly challenging to identify perceptual correlates of natural continuous speech in e.g. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Īs a fundamental prerequisite for speech perception and comprehension, our brains have a remarkable ability to follow the rapidly changing sound sequence of natural speech. The applied analysis approach thus allowed identification of segments of natural speech by means of partial reconstruction of the continuous speech envelope (i.e., the intensity variations of the speech sounds) from MEG responses, provided means to empirically assess the time scales obtainable in speech decoding with the canonical variates, and it demonstrated accurate identification of the heard speech fragments from the MEG data. By splitting the test signals into equal‐length fragments from 2 to 65 s (corresponding to 703 down to 21 pieces per the total speech stimulus) we obtained better than chance‐level identification for speech fragments longer than 2–3 s, not used in the model training. We found shared signal time series (canonical variates) between the MEG signals and speech envelopes at 0.5–12 Hz. Seven healthy adults listened to news for an hour while their brain signals were recorded with whole‐scalp MEG. To relate magnetoencephalographic (MEG) brain responses to the physical properties of such speech stimuli, we applied canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and a Bayesian mixture of CCA analyzers to extract MEG features related to the speech envelope. It is a challenge for current signal analysis approaches to identify the electrophysiological brain signatures of continuous natural speech that the subject is listening to. 12/3/2023 0 Comments Anna nicole smith skyscraper rape![]() Yet despite, or perhaps because of, Smith's ineptitude, there's something oddly likable about her. Gordon gives her a shooting lesson, which segues into a sex-on-the-grass frolic.Īnd of course, before she kills the terrorist who tries to rape her, she "plays along" with him for a few minutes. Smith is hardly modest about exposing her body: a gratuitous shower scene is staged like a centerfold shoot, and the filmmakers earn bonus points for the ingenious way they manage to work in a nude scene during the skyscraper siege-to show that she's a good shot, Carrie has a flashback in which Razor-sharp and bright red, as we're continually shown in hilarious inserts of her hand wrapped around the helicopter joystick.

It also has the added attraction of the wondrous Ms. SKYSCRAPER may be hysterically bad, replete with muscle-bound terrorists delivering laughable lines in really bad German accents, but it's also mindlessly entertaining as long as it sticks to the PM Entertainment Group formula of daredevil stunts, slow-motion gunfights, car crashes, and fieryĮxplosions. ![]() As Carrie and Gordon get into an ambulance, he tells her he's now ready to have a baby.

Connoisseurs of ludicrous plotting, laughable dialogue and poorĪcting will have a field day with this one.Ī Shakespeare-spouting terrorist named Fairfax (Charles Huber) is on a killing spree in his quest to obtain four separate suitcases containing components of a satellite weapons system. Imagine a Z-grade rip-off of DIE HARD (1988), fleshed-out with soft-core sex interludes and starring Amazonian Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith in the Bruce Willis role, and you get an idea of what SKYSCRAPER has to offer. But they’re only marked ‘Small’ and ‘Large’, so exactly how far these two combs cut is something you’ll have to discover by trial and error. In addition to ear and nose hairs, there are also two combs that allow you to groom e.g. The Philips 3000 Series is an upright nose hair trimmer with a protective guard around the blades. The main difference lies in the design – as well as how hot it gets. The Philips NT3650 looks and works like the slightly more expensive models in the 5000 series. This is then compared to the product price to determine value for money before allocating a score. The evaluation is based on the overall experience of the product. When assessing each nose and ear trimmer, we have based our verdict primarily on the parameters below.Ĭutting effect: How effectively does the nose trimmer cut? How comfortable is the cutting process – in other words, does the skin experience irritation and do sharp parts graze the skin? What's the overall cutting result like?Įase of use: Is the nose and ear hair trimmer easy to understand and use? Does t include any useful accessories? How easy is it to clean the nose trimmer?Ĭonstruction: Is the construction robust and of high quality? What’s the grip like and how easy is it to control the nasal hair trimmer? How seamless is it to change accessories and shaver parts? The appliances have been cleaned according to the instructions for the model, and the waterproof models have been tested under the shower. ![]() The models in this test have been tested on several occasions and used on both nose and ear hair, as well as on eyebrows and whiskers. We carry out our tests ourselves and test all products as they are intended to be used in by the consumer. Selection of products and test results are in no way influenced by manufacturers, retailers or other internal or external parties. Make sure you get the best price using one of our Philips discount codes.Our tests are independently conducted and reflect the test editor's honest and objective opinions. This is a decent deal, but the nose hair trimmer included in that is nowhere near as good as this. Please note that Philips also does a Series 3000 5-in-1 groomer. The 3000 is waterproof, so you can take it in the shower and trim, and the rubberised soft grip means improved control, because no one likes completely bald nostrils. Also, do remember to use the combs when doing brows because otherwise, you will look like an alien. The combs, as on Philips otherwise excellent OneBlade, do have a tendency to wear out, however, and you can't buy replacements. The angled ProtecTube blade on the Series 3000 makes it easier to reach those tricky areas, while the design of the cutter and guard ensures that all hairs are rapidly sliced to avoid any painful pulling.Īn angled blade also makes it simple to trim eyebrows, complete with two trimming combs for various lengths, as well as reach those awkward neck hairs or other grooming tricky bits. Trust the grooming grandmaster Philips to throw an almost excessive amount of engineering prowess and tech innovation into its nasal strimmer. If you want a short version of the above, try this: buy the most expensive one you can find. ![]() Secondly, a waterproof construction allows for easy trimming in the shower, while additional features like a built-in LED light, easily removable and washable blade heads and a neat unit stand make the overall package even more appealing. There are a few things any intrepid nose trimmer should look out for in a product and they are namely the construction of the blades, whether or not the trimmer is waterproof and any additional features that will make the whole experience easier.īlade construction is important, as you ideally want silver or carbon coated steel for the cleanest cut because snagging a nose hair is one of the most painful experiences life can throw at you. Prices start as low as £6 for the most basic models, and even the most expensive ones are only about £15 for the more technologically advanced units, meaning they are within reach for even the most miserly shoppers. ![]() Modern technology means there is a simple, pain-free solution to unruly facial orifice manes and it comes in the form of an inexpensive trimmer that can be shoved up nostrils and along ear crevices. How to buy the best nose and ear hair trimmer These require a little more dexterity but the clever shape and razor sharp blades mean both safety and efficacy. The second best option, much as it pains us as the world's leading consumer tech brand to say so, is to buy a pair of slightly curved scissors such as the excellent Tweezerman His. 12/2/2023 0 Comments Applejack hentai comic![]() Semi-pro athlete Rainbow Dash had had a hard day of training.

And “technical hedgers,” including Argentina and Brazil, have technological pieces in place for nuclear program but have not weaponized those capabilities. but still decided not to pursue weapons acquisition. “Hard hedgers,” such as Sweden or Switzerland, are not as close to the U.S. Japan and Germany are “insurance hedgers,” wary of American abandonment. “Seeking the Bomb” actually details three subcategories of hedging. support waver, those countries might be more likely to pursue their own programs. allies who are not eager to make themselves targets for nuclear-armed states, and instead work with the U.S. Then there are “hedgers,” the countries that have potential to develop nuclear weapons but hold off doing so, because of geopolitical considerations or a lack of domestic political support. The “sprinters,” the simplest category to understand, consist of the U.S., Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, China, and India - big countries that could develop nuclear weapons independently, and did. Narang’s book puts all of them into four categories: countries he labels “sprinters,” “hedgers,” those benefitting from “sheltered pursuit,” and “hiders.” “No one had asked how states pursue nuclear weapons, and examined the different ways they have to deal with nonproliferation, their own resource constraints, domestic politics, and states trying to stop them,” Narang says.Īt least 29 countries have made efforts to become nuclear 19 have specifically tried to develop nuclear bombs, and 10 have succeeded. But Narang’s book centers the question of how, not why, countries seek to become nuclear-equipped. In recent decades, scholarship has usually focused on why countries acquire nuclear weapons - with the leading answers being security, prestige, and domestic political dynamics. ![]() “There is a growing likelihood that the United States will have to confront proliferation attempts from not just foes but friends and frenemies as well,” Narang writes in the book. In it, he develops a comprehensive typology of nuclear programs around the world examines why countries take different routes to nuclear development and outlines the policy implications. Narang has detailed these differences in a new book, “Seeking the Bomb,” published today by Princeton University Press. and the Soviet Union are really the only ones who had Manhattan projects, and the rest of the nuclear weapons powers look different.” “We think of proliferators as a stylized Manhattan Project,” says Narang, the Frank Stanton professor of Nucear Security and Political Science at MIT. But that paradigm applies to almost no other country. and Soviet Union did during and after World War II - a swift race culminating in the rapid buildup of arsenals, leaving little room for intervention. Narang believes that too often, we imagine that all countries pursue nuclear weapons the way the U.S. It changes how we think about managing them. “It changes how we think about stopping them. “There’s meaningful variation in how states have thought about pursuing nuclear weapons,” says says Vipin Narang, an MIT political scientist and expert on nuclear strategy. Recognizing these different paths to proliferation is an essential part of arms control: Grasping how one country is pursuing nuclear weapons can help other countries constrain that pursuit. And many wealthy countries, including Australia, Brazil, Germany, Japan, and South Korea, have chosen not to pursue weapons programs. Three other countries - Israel, Pakistan, and North Korea - have developed nuclear weapons while being supported by larger allies. A half-dozen countries with more economic and political clout than South Africa have built weapons on their own timetables. Other countries have gone nuclear in other ways. To this day, South Africa remains the only country to have pulled off that exact trick. ![]() For the first time, a country outside of the elite world powers had obtained nuclear capabilities while keeping matters a secret from almost everyone else. In 1993, South Africa announced to a largely surprised world that it had built nuclear weapons in the 1980s, before dismantling its arsenal. |
