Will keto coffee break my fast7/27/2023 So even though the MCT oil contains calories, it’s not spiking your insulin and is not processed like regular calories.ĭoes MCT oil help you lose weight? The ketones converted in your liver from the MCTs are the same fuel source your body makes from your fat stores when you run out of carbs for fuel. Your liver then converts MCTs into ketones as a fuel source. Instead of being processed by your digestive tract, it’s instead sent to your liver. But once you start having too many carbs or sugars that spike your insulin, it’ll kick you out of ketosis.ĭoes MCT oil spike insulin? MCT oil will not spike your insulin since it’s a pure fat that your body processes differently than other foods. Ketosis is a proven way to switch your body from burning sugars and carbs for fuel to body fat stores. While you might still get some of the autophagy benefits with fasting (especially when working out fasted), you shouldn’t expect the same amount if you have anything other than water. If you want to maximize your autophagy with fasting, then it’s best to stick with 100% water. It’s thought to help prevent chronic diseases while also delaying aging. In addition, any xenobiotic can create some biochemical reaction in your body that can alter autophagy.Īutophagy is the process in your body that clears out bad and damaged cells. Yet if you’re fasting to increase autophagy, then putting anything other than your water in your body can significantly negate your results. For example, if your main goals are weight loss, burning fat, improving insulin sensitivity, and boosting mental clarity, then taking MCT oil during your fast can speed up your results. You have to ask yourself why you’re fasting and what you want to accomplish. So if you’re following a strict zero-calorie water fasting diet, then it can technically break your fast. MCT oil has many health benefits, such as improving liver health, reducing inflammation, and improving gut health.īut MCT oil also contains calories.

Cf 252 spontaneous fission rate7/27/2023 Since 1984, FTC has built a reputation as a trusted neutron-emitting source supplier and manufacturer of radioactive shipping containers for diverse industries across the globe. At Frontier Technology Corporation, we offer high-quality, single- or double-encapsulated nuclear capsules that meet USDOT IAEA Special Form certification requirements. However, as a highly radioactive isotope, Cf-252 requires specialized neutron-designated shipping containers for transport. With the short half-life of Cf-252, it stands as a suitable initiator of the nuclear fission process in reactors. Nuclear energy has a low carbon footprint with no emissions, and it’s reliable yet economical. Nuclear power usage is up worldwide, and so its generation is important in modern operations for safe and efficient power supply. Work With Frontier Technology for Your Nuclear Needs Researchers determined that, for Cf-252, the half-life is 2.647 years. This method measures the rate change in emissions over 1.77 half-lives for the Cf-252 source. Scientists determined the half-life of californium-252 by examining the ratio of activity in a manganese-sulfate bath via the isotope’s spontaneous fission neutron source with the photo-neutron source of the National Bureau of Standards. This is referred to as bound neutron decay. For neutron decay to occur, protons need an available lower energy state than the initial energy state of the neutrons. The term can also refer to the time that it takes for there to be a 50% reduction of a radioactive material’s per-second disintegrations.Įven though a free neutron’s average half-life is 10.2 minutes, most are stable within nuclei with specific energy levels. It will spontaneously become a different nuclear species, giving off energy and particles as this occurs. Half-life is the time period needed for half of a radioactive sample’s atomic nuclei to degrade. Determining neutron lifetime would also assist scientists in the study of physics and determining other subatomic particle measurements. They particularly would like to know the volume of light elements such as hydrogen and helium that formed within the next few minutes after the event. This can help them understand how the universe came into being after the Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago. In another test, however, the neutron life span came in at 14 minutes and 47 secondsĭespite the discrepancies, it is important for researchers to narrow down the life of a neutron. In one of their attempts, the average lifetime came to 14 minutes and 39 seconds. Physicists have used various laboratory approaches for years to determine it but they continue to yield differing results. There’s no definitive answer as yet on the exact time period of a neutron’s lifetime. Cf-252 began as an isolated sample of Curium that was neutron-irradiated, and, while it is rare because it is not naturally occurring, particle accelerators and high-flux isotope reactors can utilize neutron bombardment to produce it.Ĭontinue reading to learn more about neutrons and Cf-252, half-life, and the special considerations required for handling or transporting radioactive isotopes. One of californium’s 20 isotopes, radioactive californium-252 (Cf-252), has proven helpful in various commercial, industrial and nuclear applications for its stability and efficient neutron-emitting capability. Then, in 1950, the radiation laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley discovered a synthetic radioactive element that became known as californium.Īn isotope occurs when an element’s atoms all have the same amount of protons but a differing amount of neutrons. Who discovered the neutron? Theorized in the 1920s, it wasn’t until 1932 that Sir James Chadwick, a British physicist, gathered evidence from experimentation that provided more definitive proof of the existence of these particles. However, some of these neutrons float freely, degrading radioactively into other particles within a short timeframe-though physicists disagree on the exact timing. But what do neutrons do? Together with protons, neutrons make up an atom’s nucleus. Every atom save hydrogen contains neutrons, or electrically neutral subatomic particles.

Submarine 2010 scenes7/27/2023 I feel the film puts this very well… ‘Submarine is an important film. This is a movie for when you’re feeling deep, you don’t want to watch it halfheartedly you need to fully appreciate it because boy it’ll open your eyes. Photograph of this will matter when I’m 38 but … The two characters are incredibly different to each other and yet they still somehow manage to find love in each other’s company.Ĭolor Wheel Pro – See Color Theory in Action (accessed: 25/12/16) These colours completely contrast each other, they’re at opposite ends of the colour wheel, yet this furthers the notion of opposites attracting. Whilst Jordana is often represented through the colour red, Oliver is represented through the colour blue. You pick up pieces of each other whether you intend to or not.įinally it’s worth pointing out the contrast between Oliver and Jordana. I’m guilty too – I’ve picked up a lot of things from my partner that I never used to do before I met them. This shows his devotion to Jordana and how easily it is to start sharing personality traits with someone who you spend your time with. There is also the use of red sneaking into Oliver’s outfits as the film progresses – the main item of clothing being the red jumper. There are also a few odd points that include red – such as Jordana ‘editing’ the relationship rules in a red pen, and the final shot of the film where the protagonists are stood on the beach in front of a red sunset. However like flares, the passion doesn’t last for very long and their love is extinguished as the fire goes out. Since this is during the ‘two weeks of love making’ it could be argued that the flares represent their burning love for each other. In the scene where Oliver and Jordana are laughing with flares whilst running through the abandoned fairground, the overlay of colour in the shots is red. Linked to the idea of violence is the idea of aggression. Although the act is never shown, it’s pretty clear to the viewer that Oliver has just been punched in the face. When he takes his hand away the brilliant red contrasts with his white hands. This leaves the protagonist lying on the floor clutching his nose. This can be seen most clearly in the scene where Jordana’s ex-boyfriend tries to force Oliver into admitting she is a ‘slut’. Red is also used in the film to represent violence. Oliver was attempting to seduce Jordana, even if it didn’t quite work out the way he thought it was going to. The entire bedroom is filled with red – the balloons, the blanket, the candles, even the lighting is red. The same idea can be applied to the, admittedly, uncomfortable scene where Oliver and Jordana have sex for the first time. Secrecy is often used to imply seduction – which is a key connotation of the colour red. He spends the beginning of the film working out what she likes and tries to act upon this (an example – bullying in moderation). Jordana is a very secretive character which is what draws Oliver towards her. The next is her red heart shaped sun glasses. The most striking thing about her visual appearance is her striking red coat, which she appears to always be wearing. Red is mainly linked to the character of Jordana, Oliver’s love interest. The film follows 15 year old Oliver Tate through his relationship with first girlfriend Jordana, and his complicated relationship with his parents. It cast list includes Craig Roberts as Oliver Tate, Yasmin Paige as Jordana Bevan, Sally Hawkins as Jill Tate, Noah Taylor as Lloyd Tate, and Paddy Considine as Graham Purvis. Submarine is a coming of age romantic comedy based on the novel Submarine by Joe Dunthorne. This is exactly what Richard Ayoade (Director) and Erik Wilson (Cinematographer) have done in Ayoade’s debut film, Submarine. Directors and Cinematographers often use this to the For example light red is associated with passion, love, and sexuality whereas dark red is associated with anger, wrath, and rage. However different shades of red can often arouse different emotions within us and therefore have different connotations. Collectively we associate red with intense human emotions such as love and anger, which are perhaps two of the most powerful. It has many different meanings and allows people to feel a variety of emotions depending on the context in which it’s used -hence why it’s my favourite colour. Firstly, let’s discuss the connotations of the colour red.

About ceebot7/26/2023 Their control systems vary anywhere between remotely piloted to fully autonomous systems. Lockheed Martin's knowledge of manned aircraft has produced a variety of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) based on size/wingspan, ranging from a micro-UAV (MicroStar) to a hand-launched UAV (Desert Hawk) and up to larger platforms such as the DarkStar. Since then, aircraft design has drastically evolved in many areas including the evolution of manual linkages to fly-by-wire systems, and mechanical gauges to glass cockpits.

The three assessment indices were correlated with behaviors of independent study and peer collaboration, but were only weakly associated with attendance. Thus strong module performance was not a reliable predictor of programming ability. Ordination diagrams and summary statistics for canonical analyses suggested that logbook grades (the basis for module assessment) and code understanding were weakly correlated. Acceptance and opinion factors (such as perceived enjoyment and effectiveness of Ceebot) were treated as expressions of motivation to engage with the learning environment. Behavioral characteristics (such as attendance, collaboration and independent study) were regarded to be indicative of learning activity. Response data included Likert expressions for behavioral, acceptance and opinion traits. Environmental factors are represented here by three "assessment" gradients one for the overall module mark and two independent tests of programming knowledge and skill. Multivariate ordination approaches are widely used in ecology to explore species distribution along environmental gradients. This uses "Ceebot", an animated and immersive game-like development environment. The subject of evaluation is a first year BSc module for computer programming.

Dynasty forge bushi folded o katana7/26/2023 A little personal info here seems appropriate. I am not trained in any bladed martial arts let alone Iaido but I will give my impression on the moving blade. I'm sorry, I had nothing else to cut that wasn't furniture and I live in a villa without an enclosed backyard. A little ragged and I couldn't get it to cut the subsequently smaller pieces. I picked up a piece of paper towel and ran the blade across it and it cut it on my first try. The tsuba is a deeply relieved and etched design of crashing waves and is quite attractive as it is the theme throughout on the kashira, fuchi and kojiri as well. I am enthralled with this blade's appearance and with light playing across it could sit staring into it's O-Mukume pattern and meditate. To be sure, there is a flowing to the grain near the ha but it doesn't cover the entire length of the blade. I am looking for the hamon that Marc described but I must conclude I am not competent enough to see it. This is what made me choose the Bushi over the Musha, the hada which covers the blade in what I believe is called O-Mukume pattern of grain. Now I really got some lights on and inspected the blade. I grabbed a clean cloth to wrap the blade in and from the mune tried to wiggle the blade in the habaki. I tried to spin the fuchi but it and it's seppa remained solidly in place. I used one hand and one thumb to loosen the katana from it's saya and got my first look at the blade, but more on that later because I first wiggled hard on the kashira and the tsuba without effect. I would not shake the saya so hard if I were running full tilt with it tied to my side so I think it would be absolutely silent under any condition short of 'paint shaker' mode. First thing I did was shake it and there was no sound going front to back and only a little when shaken vigorously from side to side. I untied it and let the bag slide to the ground while holding the saya. 9th to today, the 19th it made its way here and USPS delivered the katana.ĭouble boxed and double bubble wrapped, well done! After that was all removed there was a long plain cloth black bag tied at the top. Everything went very smoothly and I began the wait. He did a good job in informing me of what to expect time-wise on shipments through customs. Richard, at Keener Edge, let me know he did not have these in stock and that it would be coming direct from DF in Canada. I found it at the Keener Edge, who I have no other connection with, and ordered it at a slight savings over factory direct. My first katana and I jumped head first into what I considered the deep end. At twice the price of where I thought I'd be but like Marc and some of the other commentators, I too, saw it as a "must have" piece. I ran those models down and found something I did not like about each of them whether it was reported tsuka issues or poor balance until the last thing I found was the above mentioned review by MKR and I was done and done for. Then I saw a katana with shobu zukuri and I was hooked on the look. Good blades were found with so-so fittings and vice versa, at least to accounts I found through reading. I kept looking at other brands and many models with many starts and stops in choosing. I had a company picked out and was just trying to settle on a model when I read a review where the reviewer immediately started seeing damage to the edge( should I say ha?) upon cutting. The more I looked and saw the more I got caught up in gathering reviews and other information in forums, particularly this one. No doubt I could have been but alas it was not meant to be. I looked at many swords and was sure I would buy a $300.00 sword and be very happy with it. I followed that with a little probing search, which in turn led me to SBG. So I got caught up in the idea of a katana by watching a review of katanas by a guy who I normally watch for his gun reviews. If not I refer you to the stunning pictures and excellent (made me want one!) review by Marc Kaden Ridgeway found in our very own Sword Reviews. I took some but I have not tried to figure out how to upload them, so we'll see. I am not sure if I will have pictures or not. Several members who were helpful in answering my questions asked that I give a review of the sword when I received it.

Torres strait islanders7/26/2023 The Committee took into account the Islanders’ close, spiritual connection with their traditional lands, and the dependence of their cultural integrity on the health of their surrounding ecosystems. On Masig Island, for example, the rising sea level has caused saltwater to seep into the soil and coconut trees to become diseased, subsequently killing off the fruit, and its coconut water, which are part of the Islanders’ traditional diet. The Islanders also argued that changes in climate with heavy rainfall and storms have degraded the land and trees and have consequently reduced the amount of food available from traditional fishing and farming. In addition, the most important ceremonies, such as coming-of-age and initiation ceremonies, are only culturally meaningful if performed in the community's native lands. They argued that maintaining ancestral graveyards and visiting and communicating with deceased relatives are at the heart of their cultures. The Islanders indicated that severe flooding caused by the tidal surge in recent years has destroyed family graves and left human remains scattered across their islands. In their complaint brought to the Committee, the Islanders claimed that changes in weather patterns have direct harmful consequences on their livelihood, their culture and traditional way of life. “This decision marks a significant development as the Committee has created a pathway for individuals to assert claims where national systems have failed to take appropriate measures to protect those most vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change on the enjoyment of their human rights,” Committee member Hélène Tigroudja said. The Islanders claimed their rights had been violated as Australia failed to adapt to climate change by, inter alia, upgrading seawalls on the islands and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They are all indigenous inhabitants of Boigu, Poruma, Warraber and Masig, four small, low-lying islands in Australia’s Torres Strait region. The Committee today issued its Decision after examining a joint complaint filed by eight Australian nationals and six of their children. Human Rights Committee has found that Australia’s failure to adequately protect indigenous Torres Islanders against adverse impacts of climate change violated their rights to enjoy their culture and be free from arbitrary interferences with their private life, family and home.
