Here’s a picture of my projects together… Besides featuring the colors, my card uses the Best Day Ever SAB set and the Best Year Ever Accessory pack for the ribbon and button. Such a fun technique and if you don’t know how to do it you can find a TON of tutorials – just ‘Google it’. I used these colors to create the background panel (on Whisper White), then cut out some circles from a window sheet to create my ‘lights’ using White CRAFT ink. I decided to base my colors on the SAB colors in the accessory pack – Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, and Coastal Cabana. The Bokeh technique is all the rage right now and the other day I wanted to sit down and play with it! (I had a little break from school work!). I made mine a little smaller than what was shown but you can get 8 (size 2 1/2 x 6) out of a sheet of dsp which is wonderful! I used the Best Year Ever SAB dsp, Simply Wonderful Stamp Set for the greeting, the Bouquet Bigz Die, and the Best Year Ever SAB buttons (LOVE THESE!!!). They really did enjoy it! Here’s a picture of how I cut it and the cutting/scoring directions. I didn’t get a chance to go but I thought this would be so much fun for my group that met Tuesday night. ![]() These fun ‘triangle’ favors were shown at Leadership this year.

8/18/2023 0 Comments Party panic rematch![]() Online presets a lot of technical challenges, and because I'm the only person working on this game, it's important I decide where time is best spent. It's difficult to find players to play against automatically unless the game takes off and has a huge player base. It's built around the idea of a couch-multiplayer game, and at this point online can't really be shoe-horned in without a major rework of the game, gameplay mechanics, and the underlying code - and while I'm not opposed to doing this, online easily doubles the amount of work that needs to be done.Įven if there was some way to make all these issues disappear, unless you were to set up an online game with specific friends, the game would need active players for you play against. Party Panic has also grown and changed a lot since the prototype that I implemented online with months ago, it's become more fast-paced, and lots more physics-based interactions between players. Additionally, since each minigame only lasts 30 seconds, if one player does begin to lag it doesn't have very much time to try and catch up and correct itself, These kind of things begin to happen even when there is a slight drop in network latency, and snowball pretty quick. This is just a few examples of what happens, it makes the game feel unfair, and it's not fun. You end up trying to punch a character that you see in front of you but miss because they're not actually there, or get punched by someone who is all the way across the map on your screen - all because the game is out of sync. If two people see your character getting up from ragdoll in two different places because the physics are out of sync, and then try to go punch them, frustrating things begin to happen. But in Party Panic when you get ragdolled, you get back up on your feet and get back in the game. In some games (like a FPS) ragdolls are not synced over the network because it doesn't matter if two players see the ragdoll land in different places (and they will because non-deterministic physics), and it doesn't affect gameplay. Trying to sync physics online makes things worse. PhysX is NOT deterministic, which means if you run the same simulation with the exact same parameters twice on same computer, it's not guaranteed to have the same outcome, even when the simulation is super simple. Party Panic is built with Unity, which uses PhysX. Because the physical state of the game is tightly related to the outcome, it's important to keep the physical state of the game as in-sync between clients as possible, and this is hard. ![]() Regardless of the server structure (central servers, private servers, p2p, etc) because data transmission isn't instant, issues arise trying to keep the players sync-ed fast enough, especially in a game like Party Panic which relies heavily on physics, ragdolls, has fast gameplay and lots of physical interaction between players (e.g., punching them in the face). Months ago, when Party Panic was in a very early state and only had a few games, I spent some time networking it so I could see if there was a possibility to have online multiplayer, but because of a few issues (outlined below) the game became more frustrating than fun, and that conflicted with the core ideas I was after. I know for many people this is difficult, and sometimes online is the only way they can play together. My goal with Party Panic was to create first and foremost a really solid local multiplayer party game, one that you can get together with your friends and have a good laugh on the couch. Unfortunately there are no current plans for online multiplayer. 8/18/2023 0 Comments Mystic messenger emails betagro![]() It’s an extravagant and elegant party.A law must be implemented that protect reporters.Leonardo Fancy party!

The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreens with nanoparticles do stay on the surface of the skin where they should be.Īll in all, Titanium Dioxide is a famous sunscreen agent and for good reason, it gives broad spectrum UV protection (best at UVB and UVA II), it's highly stable, and it has a good safety profile. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. The main concern with nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbed into the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). ![]() The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improve both spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problem and the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. ![]() Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint. The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, "unspreadable" mess. Regular sized Titanium Dioxide also has a great safety profile, it's non-irritating and is pretty much free from any health concerns (like estrogenic effect worries with some chemical filters). Its protection is very good between 290 - 350 nm (UVB and UVA II range), and less good at 350-400 nm (UVA I) range. Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, aka Uvinul A Plus, a new generation sunscreen for UVA protectionĪnyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable.Ethylhexyl Triazone, aka Uvinul T 150, another new generation sunscreen agent with super-high UVB protection.Tris-Biphenyl Triazine, aka Tinosorb A2B, the newest addition to the Tinosorb family that protects strongly in an in-between wavelength that most other filters miss.Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, aka Tinosorb M, the good buddy of our current molecule Tinosorb S.Overall, we think Trinosorb S is one of the best sunscreen options available today.Īre you into sunscreen agents? We have shiny explanations (along with product lists) about others as well: Regarding Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine side effects, we have good news here as well: it has a great safety profile and unlike a couple of other chemical sunscreens, Trinosorb S (and M) does not show estrogenic activity. This is good news for a sunscreen agent as it needs to be on the surface of the skin to do its job properly. It is an oil-soluble, slightly yellowish powder that is not absorbed into the skin too much. It's a new generation sunscreen agent that was specifically designed for high SPF and good UVA protection and based on a 2007 study that compared 18 sunscreen agents available in the EU it really had the best SPF protection (they used the highest concentration allowed by EU regulations from each 18 sunscreens and Trinosorb S gave an SPF 20 all by itself).

Nonparametric statistical tests are used with nominal data. Inferential statistics help you test scientific hypotheses about your data. Since most participants in your study identify as Democrat, the mode is Democrat. ModeTo find the mode of your nominal data set, look for the most frequently appearing value in your frequency table. Therefore, the central tendency of nominal data can only be expressed by the mode – the most frequently recurring value. While nominal data can be grouped by category, it cannot be ordered nor summed up. For the mean, you need to be able to perform arithmetic operations like addition and division on the values in the data set. To get the median of a data set, you have to be able to order values from low to high. However, only the mode can be used with nominal data. The mode, mean, and median are three most commonly used measures of central tendency. The central tendencyof your data set tells you where most of your values lie. Each slice of the pie represents the proportion of the data set of a category. ![]() You can use your percentage frequency distribution table to create in a pie chart. To organize this data set, you can create a frequency distribution table to show you the number of responses for each category of political preference. Your data set is a list of response values. Example: Nominal data setYou distribute a survey with a question asking respondents to select their political preferences from a list. But not all measures of central tendency or variability are applicable to nominal data. ![]() These help you assess the frequency distribution and find the central tendency of your data. Then, you can gather some descriptive statistics about your data set. To analyze nominal data, you can organize and visualize your data in tables and charts. If your variable of interest has many possible labels, or labels that you cannot generate a complete list for, use open-ended questions. Examples of closed-ended questions What is your gender? If the variable you are interested in has only a few possible labels that capture all of the data, use closed-ended questions. Nominal data can be collected through open- or closed-ended survey questions. See editing example How to collect nominal data Since the order of the labels within those variables doesn’t matter, they are types of nominal variable. yes/no or employed/unemployed) are called binary or dichotomous. Variable types that can be coded in only 2 ways (e.g. In social scientific research, nominal variables often include gender, ethnicity, political preferences or student identity number. But even if there are numerical labels for your data, you can’t order the labels in a meaningful way or perform arithmetic operations with them. ![]() Nominal data can be expressed in words or in numbers. Examples of nominal dataĪt a nominal level, each response or observation fits only into one category. It does not have a rank order, equal spacing between values, or a true zero value. The word nominal means “in name,” so this kind of data can only be labelled. Nominal data is the least precise and complex level. The higher the level, the more complex the measurement. There are 4 hierarchical levels: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. The level of measurement indicates how precisely data is recorded. 8/18/2023 0 Comments Blood flow 7![]() ![]() This, together with its dependence on intracardiac hemodynamic forces, makes klf2a expression an early and reliable indicator of proper valve development. Thus, klf2a expression appears to be necessary for normal valve formation. Experimentally knocking down the expression of this shear-responsive gene with morpholine antisense oligonucleotides (MOs) results in dysfunctional valves. Using this manipulation, we determined that klf2a is normally expressed in the valve precursors in response to reversing flows, and is dramatically reduced by treatments that decrease such flows. Here, we exploit the relationship between oscillatory flow and heart rate to manipulate the amount of retrograde flow in the atrioventricular (AV) canal before and during valvulogenesis, and find that this leads to arrested valve growth. As reversing flows are particularly strong stimuli to endothelial cells in culture, an attractive hypothesis is that heart valves form as a developmental response to retrograde blood flows through the maturing heart. When functioning normally, mature heart valves prevent intracardiac retrograde blood flow before valves develop, there is considerable regurgitation, resulting in reversing (or oscillatory) flows between the atrium and ventricle. ![]() Heart valve anomalies are some of the most common congenital heart defects, yet neither the genetic nor the epigenetic forces guiding heart valve development are well understood. 8/18/2023 0 Comments Mutual fund yield calculatorInformation herein is believed to be reliable but PrimeInvestor Financial Research Pvt Ltd does not warrant its completeness or accuracy and expressly disclaims all warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied.
