![]() I haven't read the book, but I have to think that it must be much better constructed and does this fantastic real life story more justice. I take no pleasure in saying this, but it's noble intentions fell utterly short due to awful pacing, and forgettable characters. The Monuments Men isn't even close to the worst movie of 2014 by a long shot, even though it is only February, but it's arguably the most disappointing film of the year as of yet. Albeit all of the actors are exceedingly fun to watch, I assume that just watching all of these actors talk together at a press conference would be just about as entertaining. There isn't a moment in the entire film where it isn't simply John Goodman or Bill Murray dressed as World War II soldiers and not fleshed out characters. I invite anyone who sees the film to wait an hour after finishing the movie, and try to remember even three of the character's names or what their role in the mission was. Secondly, the film's characters are stale and one dimensional at best. It's as if the film is missing large portions of the actual plot to make room for massive amounts of unnecessary exposition. But the flaw with the script is that it seems like the first act eats up almost all of it's running time. There are seemingly continuous laughs coming from quick one liners and witty character interactions, which keeps the audience somewhat engaged, although with such bleak subject matter, it's debatable that a movie dealing with the eradication of an entire culture's achievements should be as lighthearted as it is. The best part of the film, and at the same time, its major problem, is the script. The truth is, The Monuments Men could be, and really should be much more entertaining than it is. It's no secret that The Monuments Men was one of everyone's most anticipated movies of 2013, and looked like a solid awards contender, until it was pushed to a February release date, purportedly due to the need for more time to be spent on the special effects. It tells of a group of soldiers tasked to locate and preserve pieces of art that have been stolen by the Nazis during World War II. Every designer should follow the up-to-date fashion and make something new and original.The Monuments Men is directed by George Clooney, staring himself, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, and Cate Blanchett.

In dentistry, gold combines alloys to create gold crowns. Plating contacts and gold bonding wire in electronics contain gold because of the element’s high electrical conductivity. In jewelry, it forms alloys with other metals to make the jewelry harder and thus more durable. Because of these properties, many ancient decorations, art pieces, and currencies contained gold. The element gold is a very dense, malleable, conductive, ductile, and attractive metal. Gold’s Applications in Today’s World What is gold used for? Mining companies dump the toxic wastes into natural water bodies, where they contaminate the water and have even more adverse effects on the environment. Toxic elements such as mercury and cyanide are byproducts of gold mining. Processes such as open-pit mining strip away at the land, leaving toxic wastes that are harmful to humans, plants, and animals. Gold mining is extremely destructive to the environment. It is usually found in and mined from quartz veins or placer deposits. Gold only exists in the world in its gold-197 isotope form. In nature, it is usually chemically pure or in combination with tellurium, selenium, or bismuth. Gold in the EnvironmentĪs a relatively rare element, gold’s abundance in Earth’s crust is estimated to be around 0.005 parts per million. For these reasons, gold was a form of currency and backed paper currencies internationally. It is also non-toxic and fairly nonreactive, and thus would not tarnish or rust and would still be feasible to store. Compared to other elements, gold was relatively rare in nature, but there was still a substantial amount of it for it to back currencies. In other words, the value of a dollar was based on an amount of gold, and gold could be exchanged for an amount of paper currency.īecause of its malleability, relative ease of melting, and attractiveness, gold was extremely valuable and was a form of currency in ancient civilizations. Until 1933, the United States used the gold standard, in which gold backed the paper currency. The gold atom has an electron configuration of 4f 14 5d 10 6s 1 The Gold Standard Silver and copper are also in group 11, although gold is not that similar to them chemically. It is a very nonreactive transition metal in group 11, period 6, with 1 valence electron. It is located in the d-block on the periodic table, with platinum to its left and mercury on its right. Gold, symbol Au, has an atomic number of 79.

Play multiple TSP signals because their addition reduces background noise and reverberation. Impulse responses are measured in two steps: (1) playing and recording the TSP signal, and (2) calculating impulse responses from TSP signals. Wavesurfer /usr/bin/harktool3_utils/16384.little_endian.tspįigure 5.1: Configuration of wavesurfer needed to read raw files Directions To read the file, use wavesurfer (to install on Ubuntu, use sudo apt-get install wavesurfer) Then, open the file with wavesurfer, This is a raw file, with32 bit floating amplitude data installed in series. Similarly, 16384.little_endian.tsp is also installed to the same path. However, if the environment is noisy, e.g., an air conditioner is running, we recommend to use 16-times TSPs to suppress the effect of the noise. If the environment is quiet, you can use 8-times TSPs which is short. You can decide the number of TSPs depending on the environment of the measurement. Note that NO spaces should be inserted between TSPs. Since this file includes a single TSP signal, it is necessary to cut and paste to make multiple TSPs (e.g., 8 or 16 times) using waveform editing software, such as matlab, or python. Upon installing harktool , a wave file of a single TSP signal is installed in /usr/bin/harktool3_utils the file name is 16384.little_endian.wav. You need a loudspeaker, a microphone array, an audio device that can simultaneously play and record a sound, and a signal including multiple TSPs.

Place the squash cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle just a tiny bit of water inside the foil (fold the edges of the foil up a bit so it won’t leak). Poke a few holes in the top of the squash and roast until it’s soft and a fork easily slides in and out. Let squash cool then scoop the flesh out from the skin and discard the skin.
![]() How could someone so full of life die in such a way? She had so much potential as a writer and as a person, and the Nazis heartlessly cut it short.ĭespite the gut-wrenching ending, this book is a masterpiece of literature, and I recommend it to everyone who has ever been a child, and who has ever been human and alone. ![]() I knew coming into this book what the ending would be, but it didn't make it any less horrifying. Her character and spirit is so vivacious and vivid, making the reading experience touchingly human. She feels cabin fever and longs for outside and for the war to end. ![]() Her experiences with her changing body and mind, her first romance, and her struggles with her parents are something that all teens can relate to. It captures the desolation of war and the power of perseverance against all the odds.ĭespite her extraordinary circumstances, Anne's writing unmistakably reflects also the life of a teenager. Anne Frank is a stunning writer, and her diary is a work of brilliance. Just sharing my opinion)įunny, thoughtful, and heartbreaking, this book is one of the best I have ever read. Seriously? Also thoes who read her diary, and still have yet to know her real name. Who hurt you? Also- People who have no idea who Anne Frank was. (I doubt anyone would still be reading let alone care if I take offense or not.) Also, thoes who think the holocaust was fake. Just know I take personal offense to these statements. To thoes who think that quarantaine is exactly like Anne's life in the Annex, not being able to see other people. Also, dont you think she got uncomfortable in the Secret Annex? Not moving a muscle for hours? I just don't get how someone could 'Rate' her life, esspecially if its anything under 5 stars. We know she dies, as hard as it is to accept it, its true. How can you rate her diary, her LIFE? And just because it made you uncomfortable, or it didn't end the way you wanted it to? We all know what happened to many Jews (At least yall should). A girl that had dreams, just like any other human. To all thoes who didn't like the book : Are you kidding me? (No offense) Its Anne Frank. But any kid, at any age should know her story.Īlright. (And she dreams about a boy she used to like.) But seriously? Also, Peter and Anne kissed. Sure thats awkward and uncomfortable and weird. Theres a part im the book where she recalls when she asked her friend if she could touch her breasts. She talks about periods and bras, and breasts. And best of all, she kept believing people were good at heart. Persevering almost to the end of the war. And to think I didn't want to read it at first!! She became a very important person in my life. I read her book at least 5 times that same month, and I watched every Anne Frank movie that I could. But when I started reading, I couldn't stop. my older brother said it was a weird book. Although she doubted from time to time whether she was talented enough, Anne wanted to write anyway.When I was 12 my teacher required us to read this book. She hoped one day to become a famous writer or journalist. The nicest part is being able to write down all my thoughts and feelings otherwise, I'd absolutely suffocate. It is noteworthy that in The Secret Annex, Anne left out her notes about her love for Peter and her vicious remarks about her mother, such as 'my mother is in most things an example to me, but then an example of precisely how I shouldn’t do things.' What does writing mean to Anne? Since the original diary letters from 1943 have not survived, we do not know anything about them. There, the differences between the original diary and Anne's rewritten version are the greatest. She gave to the texts written during the first six months in hiding an especially thorough going-over. What are the main differences between Anne's diary and The Secret Annex?ġ5-year-old Anne looked very critically at the texts written by 13-year-old Anne. ![]() Orong also established records as a student at Sonoma State University at Rohnert Park, Calif. He qualified for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. National Indoor triple jump and third at the 2007 National Indoor Championships in long jump. National Outdoor triple jump, the 2007 U.S. National Indoor triple jump, he 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials triple jump, the 2008 U.S. The Fallon grad would later become the champion at the 2008 U.S. Wilson competed in track in both the long and triple jumps. Wilson then attended Indiana University in Bloomington. During his tenure as a track coach, Orong also worked with Olympian Aarik Wilson, who graduated from CCHS in 2001 as the state champion and record holder in the triple jump. There have been several attempts to create a Hall of Fame to honor Fallon’s greatest but each time, it has failed.” Orong served as the GWOF’s first president. “One of the first things I noticed was the absence of a Hall of Fame to recognize outstanding individuals and teams who have contributed to this school’s deep history of success, both on and off the field. “I still remember when I arrived in Fallon for the first time almost 20 years ago to help coach football and track,” Orong said. With the dedication of Orong and a number of former Fallon coaches, athletes and contributors from several generations, the GWOF welcomed its first class almost five years ago. When Orong first arrive in Fallon in the 1990s, he was surprised to learn CCHS did not have a Hall of Fame. In addition to track, Orong coached at every level of Greenwave football and also coached in the Fallon Youth Football League. During their time together, they produced two state championships, two state runners-up, three region championships and two regional runners-up as well as coaching numerous state champions. Orong coached the girls track team with Steve Heck, who guided the boys. A fixture in Northern Nevada as a track coach for more than a quarter century, Paul Orong, 59, brought zeal to his coaching as he did assembling other like-minded individuals to begin the Greenwave Hall of Fame (GWOF) with its first induction in 2017. No other information on the cause of death has been released. Contact the Priests at their email listed above.A beloved high school coach and one of the founders of the Greenwave Hall of Fame died in his sleep Monday.

Drop in to the Mission & Ministry office for details on current opportunities. Our campus priests hold lunchtime Bible study and other prayer groups. CCHS often offers rosaries, various prayer interactions (such as Lenten Eucharistic adoration, novenas, etc.). The beautiful Chapel and serene garden areas are quiet spaces for contemplation and prayer. Thérèse Chapel is open and available for students before, during and after school for all members of our community. Classroom prayer at the beginning of each class reinforces the centrality of prayer in our lives and the lives of our students. It provides the framework for our retreat program and is central to our ‘way of being’ on campus and in the world.Įach school day begins with a student led prayer. It is recited as our morning prayer every Friday and included during our Eucharistic celebration at every all-school mass. Our school prayer is part of the lived spirituality of CCHS.

This type of 'water body' is called a Phytotelma. Water can become trapped within the pitcher, making a habitat for other flora and fauna. Once within the pitcher structure, digestive enzymes or mutualistic species break down the prey into an absorbable form for the plant. The linings of most pitcher plants are covered in a loose coating of waxy flakes which are slippery for insects, causing them to fall into the pitcher. Because these families do not share a common ancestor who also had pitfall trap morphology, carnivorous pitchers are an example of convergent evolution.Ī passive trap, pitfall traps attract prey with nectar bribes secreted by the peristome and bright flower-like anthocyanin patterning within the pitcher. Within the family Bromeliaceae, pitcher morphology and carnivory evolved twice ( Brocchinia and Catopsis). This particular adaptation is found within the families Sarraceniaceae (Darlingtonia, Heliamphora, Sarracenia), Nepenthaceae ( Nepenthes), and Cephalotaceae ( Cephalotus). Pitfall traps Ĭharacterised by an internal chamber, pitfall traps are thought to have evolved independently at least six times. The rapid acid growth allows the sundews' tentacles to bend, aiding in the retention and digestion of prey. Meanwhile, sundews are active flypaper traps whose leaves undergo rapid acid growth, which is an expansion of individual cells as opposed to cell division. For example, Triphyophyllum is a passive flypaper that secretes mucilage, but whose leaves do not grow or move in response to prey capture. These traps may be active or passive, depending on whether movement aids the capture of prey.
You can add security drones to your station before unlocking the Security station.Make sure to place Garbage Bots near tube lifts and anywhere the sells food or drink.Consider leaving space for Mech transporters as well. You can set your factory to automatically produce goods when it has the available resources.If the crates you need to produce something in a factory keep disappearing the moment you put them in the cargo bay, they are probably being taken for use by atmosphere filters, to avoid this you can put the crates directly in the factories storage area.Don't forget to keep building more berths as you expand, even with better alternatives on the fun deck these remain popular.Prioritising upgrades to the berth, recycling station, garbage bots, tube lifts and atmosphere filters will allow you cope better with an increasing number of guests.Make sure to set up berths as soon as the game starts, rather than risking running out of energy early with little way to get more.Using decorations, specifically the flooring fancy, can prevent garbage build up around certain areas.They can be acquired in crate form from the VAL shop, from pirate attacks or salvage events. Medical stations needs to be researched to level 3 to allow the addition of z-ray scanners, consider leaving space to expand your existing Medical stations to include these.This is useful to keep toxic waste and contraband building up and the problems it can cause.

If you find yourself running out of cargo space often you can shut down harvesting on the bio deck to give yourself some breathing room.Īlso consider replacing them with their higher level counterparts, the Refreshment center and Casino that can serve multiple people at a time. ![]() The emphasis here is on waiting, and there are periods when I was just staring at the screen since there was nothing meaningful or engaging to do.Oxygen crates will still appear even when harvesting is shut down. Things don’t get significantly better in the long run as successive missions have you waiting for visitors to get healed, or waiting for tourists to finish dancing in the disco. It’s like a tacked-on Whac-A-Mole system.īut what’s even more surprising is the fact that the game’s first campaign mission had you collecting trash until you’ve earned enough credits. Coincidentally, too much garbage will spawn vermin (bugs) that can only be removed by clicking on them. ![]() If you don’t find this system reliable, then you can just click on stuff on the floor to pick up the garbage manually before dumping it in the recycler. The usual process goes like this: Fuzzy bots pick up trash (if ever the AI automation can do that properly), garbage bots collect it, the refuse is dumped in recyclers, and, finally, it gets turned into energy (cash). ![]() Apparently, the aliens love to litter, so you’ll constantly see crap on the floor. Perhaps one of the most ridiculous mechanics in Spacebase Startopia is the accumulation of garbage. |
