1-12 the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference is on in Glasgow, UK. Countries are working to meet their 2015 Paris Agreement pledges.World large-scale CCUS facilities operating and in development, 2010-2020 The 16 projects at advanced stages of planning, including several facing a final investment decision within the next 12 months, represent a total estimated investment of more than USD 27 billion. If all these projects were to proceed, the amount of global CO2 capture capacity would more than triple, to around 130 Mt per year. The vast majority are in the United States and Europe, but projects are also planned in Australia, China, Korea, the Middle East and New Zealand. After years of a declining investment pipeline, plans for more than 30 new integrated CCUS facilities have been announced since 2017. In 2020 only 40 million tonnes pa of CO2 was being captured from power and industrial facilities globally.ĬCUS costs have been declining, new business models that can improve the financial viability of CCUS have emerged, and technologies associated with CO 2 use and carbon removal are advancing and attracting interest from policy makers and investors. Oxyfuel combustion - The fuel is burned in pure oxygen instead of air.The resulting CO2 can be captured and the H 2 can be used as fuel. The CO from the resulting syngas (CO and H 2) reacts with added steam (H 2O) and is shifted into CO2 and H 2. Pre-combustion - The fossil fuel is partially oxidized, for instance in a gasifier.Post combustion capture is most popular in research because fossil fuel power plants can be retrofitted to include CCS technology. Post-combustion - the CO2 is removed after combustion of the fossil fuel- this is the scheme that would apply to fossil-fuel power plants.As of 2020, about one thousandth of global CO 2 emissions are captured by CCS.Ĭlearly, there is massive growth potential for those companies that can succeed in CCS. Usually the CO2 is captured from large point sources, such as a chemical plant or biomass power plant, and then stored in an underground geological formation. Carbon capture and storage - needed at our coal fired power plants - usually involves capturing the CO2 and injecting it into the groundĬarbon capture and storage or carbon capture and sequestration is the process of capturing emitted carbon dioxide (CO2), transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere. CCUS involves the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of this CO2 via ship or pipeline, and either its use as a resource to create valuable products or services or its permanent storage deep underground in geological formations. Note: CCUS refers to carbon capture, utilisation and storage. Note: Sequestration means removing, separating, or seizing anything from the possession of its owner. Carbon capture and storage ("CCS") (also sometimes called carbon capture and sequestration, or carbon capture, utilisation and storage "CCUS") is a sector with an enormous need given the world is still a long way away from closing all coal powered power plants.

It’s fascinating to see which great directors have chosen to make bio-pics (whether one as an exception or many as a habit) and what that choice reveals of their art. The list that follows is thus also a parade of great directors. Unlike with melodramas or comedies, it takes greatness to advance the art of bio-pics. The genre poses challenges of scope and psychology akin to the stringent visual challenges posed by musicals. But bio-pics are different, because they are about extraordinary people, and fewer directors, writers, and actors are able to successfully imagine their way into this level of extraordinariness. Part of the long-standing collective lament for the demise of the mid-budget dramatic movie-essentially, realistic movies featuring movie stars-is that it’s a form that even middling directors, writers, and actors have always done well. Most directors, like most people, have interesting observations about their daily lives, their communities, their fields of endeavor-and plenty of directors have, as artists, the practical skill to convey such observations. I suspect that this inability, for novelists (and for filmmakers), goes beyond the limits of the artistic sphere to extend, over all, to exemplary achievers in any field. I’m reminded of an aphorism that I have long recalled as being written or said by Norman Mailer-please crowdsource me-to the effect that the one kind of character that no novelist can successfully imagine is a better novelist. Perhaps the hardest thing about making bio-pics, at least ones regarding figures of actual greatness, is the inability of most directors to consider such heroes face to face, to share in the grandeur or the enormity of these protagonists’ inner lives. With all the overt and tacit calculation that goes into the production of bio-pics, it’s something of a miracle that any of them are any good at all, yet indeed some of them are even great. If the makers of bio-pics freely elaborate (i.e., distort, bowdlerize, even falsify) the facts of their heroes’ lives, they don’t do so any more than the average Hollywood movie falsifies human experience at large, but they do so with an imprimatur of authenticity. Nonetheless, the connection of bio-pics to ostensible reality is the hidden power of their success. (Fear not: by the time Hollywood gets done with these lives, they’re rarely any stranger than the usual fictions, and may not even be that true.) Presenting real-life stories as extraordinary adventures, bio-pics embody the axiom that truth is stranger than fiction. Bio-pics bathe the producers, the studios, and the filmmakers in the reflected renown of their protagonists’ achievements, and, because the enterprise inherently involves a good deal of research, it also conveys an air of studious seriousness. That attracts stars, which in turn attracts audiences. Robert Oppenheimer may be the exception that proves the rule he’s less famous than Freddie Mercury, but the atomic bomb is more so.) And the illustrious people who inspire bio-pics offer great showcases for actors. The protagonists are people who audiences are already familiar with and interested in. For producers and studios considering which projects to green-light, bio-pics check a lot of boxes. The form’s peculiar place in the art of movies is inseparable from the reasons for its exceptional prominence in the business. The trouble isn’t only that of inflated prestige bio-pics are disproportionately prominent during awards season and therefore ballyhooed nearly to oblivion. The best ones share a uniquely powerful artistic authority, but merely ordinary ones are truly disheartening.

In similar lines, let’s try to generate and capture the SSH packets from the loopback interface: $ ssh password:Ġ6:30:52.419160 IP localhost.43398 > localhost. As it stands, I can connect my loopback adapter to a virtual router interface and capture ping, arp, etc. When setting up a web server or software on a web server, 127.0.0. For example, typing ping localhost would ping the local IP address of 127.0.0.1 (the loopback address). Interesting, something is blocking traffic. The localhost is the default name describing the local computer address also known as the loopback address. This is a potentially very useful tool/feature that I will be testing further in the weeks to come. ping gateway from both computers ping 192.168.1.254 then try to ping comp1 to compt2 and comp2 to comp1 then post results of arp -a from BOTH boxes. In the first session, we initiate the packet capture on the loopback interface, then we will execute a simple ping to localhost: $ ping -c 1 localhostĠ6:24:36.453843 IP localhost > localhost: ICMP echo request, id 19865, seq 1, length 64Ġ6:24:36.453854 IP localhost > localhost: ICMP echo reply, id 19865, seq 1, length 64 I am now using the loopback adapter to capture traffic that I source into a Dyanmips/Dynagen virtual router network. If we want to monitor the packets from the specific interface, we can use option -i.įor the sake of demonstration, let’s open two PuTTY sessions. For Mac OS 10, this command won’t work, what command you actually would use to ping ::1 Please do on Mac. Once you’ve added the loopback network card, hit the OK button to keep the changes. After you choose the GNS3Loopback adapter, hit the Add button. In the Cloud1 window, pick the Loopback card you added in the Ethernet Interfaces part. I can ping the loopback IPs locally on each respective router. Type ping ::1 (for local loopback address) and press ENTER. Right-click and select Configure to set up Cloud1. Es gibt vielerlei Anwendungen für den Loopback. Sender und Empfänger sind beim Loopback identisch. Tcpdump has many options to parse, search and filter the network interface traffic. I can ping the link local ips from each respective router to the other but I cannot ping the loopback interface IPs from the either router to the other. Ein Loopback oder eine Schleifenschaltung ist ein Nachrichten- oder Informationskanal mit nur einem Endpunkt. The power start has never worked never even made a sound indicating some sort of electrical connection. Overall I would give this pressure washer a 5 out of 5 stars mainly because it features 3100 PSI at $300 with Costco’s lifetime warranty. I could also just buy a better one, but I will wait until this one fails. I am guessing it will uncoil more over time so its not that big of a deal. The only thing that I do not like is the included hose it tangled really easily and liked to coil up. I also used a surface cleaner to finish it 10x faster. With 3100 PSI it did an amazing job at cleaning it. I needed to clean it so that I could seal it. The first use with this power washer was to pressure wash my concrete driveway. All I had to do was attach the arm to the frame, plug in the hoses, add the included bottle of oil and lastly add the gas. I really enjoy it even though you have to play with the choke every now and then, but I guess that is expected. Starting the PowerStroke Subaru engine is a breeze with the electric start. I figured it was still a great deal all because of the excellent warranty. In the Costco coupon book there was a $30 off coupon for this pressure washer. I paid $300 for this unit and missed the sale that they had a week before. Most pressure washers only have a 1-2 year warranty, but since Costco has a no questions asked satisfaction guarantee warranty, you basically have a lifetime warranty. I would have to say that for the price I paid and Costco’s lifetime warranty this was a great buy. Oyster Creek rose rapidly and did escape its banks after it crosses Hw圓5 near Angleton. In some places north of Holiday Lakes the Brazos River flood water rose high enough to flow into Oyster Creek via low spots in its banks. The flood waters along both sides of Oyster Creek flowed parallel with Oyster Creek over the farmland and forests after flooding out of the Brazos River starting near Sienna Planation and on down to Harris Reservoir. The Brazos river rose higher than its banks in central Brazoria county and flooded the fields and started flowing south. In 20 Oyster Creek and Bastrop Bayou watersheds filled up with Brazos River water from the north (plus local rainfall) and that water was trapped by roads and levees and flood gates from taking its ancient routes into the marshes and down to the Gulf of Mexico. We see the different grass where the swimming pool used to sit. We see the back yard where our daughter got married. We see the track where we raced our motocross bikes. Looking out the kitchen window we see the tree the kids used to climb. We will find a way to be sure our home has a very long future. We don't want to see brown flood water cover our land ever again. 40 years ago we moved into the house we built (no contractors) in Sugar Mill and we raised our family in that house. My property got flooded in 2017 because of changes made to the land and roads around us over the past 40 years - levees and roads were added and raised higher and they now block the natural water flows. The living room floor in my house is surveyed at 23.28 feet elevation. Later, the prison farm buildings were placed on the highest ground. The settlers in the 1800s picked the highest ground for the plantation houses and sugar mills. This was one year after Tropical Storm Claudette set the record for the highest rainfall in Texas and the 5 acres we bought was not flooded during Claudette. My cars parked on the 21ft high bank of McFadden Bayou.Ī little history: I built my house on the highest lot I could buy near Lake Jackson in 1980 (21ft elevation). We have now learned the hard way that "it's not nice to fool Mother Nature".Ĭounty Road 682 pavement at 20ft elevation is under a foot of water.Ģ307 White Tail Lane, Sugar Mill Subdivision Those counties and Brazoria county are now criss-crossed with elevated roads that act like levees and block the historical natural water flow. Big subdivisions in southern Fort Bend and Harris counties have built miles of levees to try to divert Brazos river flood waters. the big picture of where Mother Nature designed the big water to flow. Big floods like that can only be mitigated if we pay attention to the historical hydrology of Brazoria county. No organization can stop floods like the 20 Brazos River overflows. Notice that the name is "Drainage District", not "Flood District". Their primary mission is maintaining the levees and pump stations built in the 1960s to protect the Dow plants and facilities in and near Freeport. You have probably heard of the Velasco Drainage District. Improving "drainage" so the road ditches and yards don't fill up during a rainstorm is good, but has no relationship at all to the flooding we saw in 20. Drainage is 'little' and flooding is 'BIG'. The primary purpose of this website is to educate residents that "drainage" is totally different from "flooding". And those original settlers were smart enough to pick the high ground and not build levees and tall roads. Austin land grants for his settlements and the plantations of cotton and sugar cane and many records exist from that era. We know this fact because the land was part of the Stephen F. Because this land has never before in the history of Texas been flooded. The purpose of this website is to reveal why thousands of acres in central Brazoria County north of Lake Jackson were flooded with one to six feet of water two years in a row, 20, and also in June 1992 (which most people have forgotten about).

Most tweets about the game are bragging about high scores, but one player tweeted the “games actually sick.” Its location is based off the iconic blue slide in Pittsburgh’s Frick Park. You can’t get it at the market, but it is also available on Miller’s Facebook page, and he’s encouraging fans to tweet about it using the hashtag #MacMillerGame. Miller jokingly bragged that he’s racked up a score of “50 million” already. Blue Slide Park is the debut studio album by Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller, released on November 8, 2011, by Rostrum Records.The album is named after a section of Frick Park, in Pittsburgh.It. While tricky to get the hang of at first, the game gets easier the more you play it. The game dropped Tuesday in tandem with the album’s worldwide release, Miller acknowledged in a YouTube video, adding that he hopes it prevents you from being bored. The goal is to travel down a blue slide while dodging obstacles (piles of poop), collect points (ice cream, oddly enough), and see how long you can do so without falling off. The tracks are unlike anything Miller has produced, at the same time staying true to his authentic style. The album features hit singles Smile Back and Frick Park Market. Titled Blue Slide Park: The Game, after his recently released album, the colorful game’s premise is as simple and mildly entertaining as Miller’s lyrics. An up-and-coming hip hop artist from Pittsburgh, Mac Miller has finally graduated from high school mix tapes and released his highly anticipated freshman album, Blue Slide Park. Toke up, jam out, and now slide down with rapper Mac Miller in his new video game. However, they may be forming because of joint irritation or mechanical changes. The cause for the cyst is usually unknown. Ganglion Cysts - Ganglion cysts are very common lumps that occur in a person’s hand or wrist.The most common symptoms are described as numbness, soreness, tingling, and all around pain in the hand. When this is pinched or compressed you have carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve runs through this passageway along with tendons to the fingers and thumbs. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Your carpal tunnel is the narrow passageway on the palm side of your wrists.Pain due to osteoarthritis of the thumb is most often described as a swelling of the joint and discomfort when using the thumb. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage of your thumb begins to wear away. Osteoarthritis - Osteoarthritis is the form of arthritis that most commonly affects the thumb or basal joint.To help you decipher which thumb condition you have read the most likely problems and their most common symptoms: However, there are conditions outside of trigger thumb that may occur to your thumb joint and be described in a similar way. People often describe the pain they are experiencing in their thumbs as: How do I know if the Pain at the Base of my Thumb is from Trigger Thumb? Stenosing tenosynovitis is the medical term for trigger thumb and is often used in the medical world. Stenosing tenosynovitis and trigger thumb or finger are the exact same condition. To better understand what’s happening if you have trigger thumb check out the graphic of your thumbs anatomy below:įUN FACT: Trigger Finger Thumb is Also Called Stenosing Tenosynovitisĭon’t freak out if your doctor told you have stenosing tenosynovitis but you thought you had trigger thumb. This condition can happen to all of your fingers including your thumbs, index, middle, ring, and pinky. This has the potential to be a very painful and frustrating condition, as you lose the full function of your thumbs. Essentially, your fingers get stuck in a non-relaxed position. When this happens, the base of your fingers may lock up, click, or pop. Because of this inflammation or swelling, your tendons are no longer properly gliding through your sheaths. If you have trigger thumb, your tendons have become inflamed. The tendons in your thumb and fingers are covered in a tunnel-like structure of tissues that are called sheaths. So next time when you think how to draw a hand, use this knowledge for drawing a hand from memory.As you’ve just heard in the video, trigger thumb is a common and debilitating condition. The knowledge of the hand’s anatomy and the relationship between its bones, joints and muscles can be used for drawing hands accurately without the model. The thumb can be abducted quite widely to enable a good grip. The metacarpal bone of the thumb is quite short compared to the other fingers’ metacarpal bones. The inter-phalangeal joint of the thumb is on the same level as the knuckle of the index finger. The thumb’ proportions can be defined as follows: the length of the thumb aligns with the metacarpo-phalangeal joint of the index finger. – and (IP) Inter-phalangeal joint of thumb. – (MCP) Metacarpo-phalangeal joint of thumb – (PIP) Proximal inter-phalangeal joints – (MCP) Metacarpo-phalangeal joints, also known as the knuckles of the hand They are named after the bones they connect: This finger ends at the joint between the middle and distal phalanges of the fourth finger. The little or the fifth finger is the shortest. The fourth finger ends where the nail of the middle finger starts. The second and the fourth fingers have similar length, which may vary slightly depending on the individual and gender. When you consider how to draw a hand, remember that the middle finger is the longest. These bones form the wrist channel through which the tendons go from the arm to the fingers.įive metacarpal bones are located between wrist bones and phalanges of fingers.Įach of the four fingers has three phalanges. – And the thumb has 2 phalanges – proximal and distal. – Each finger has 3 phalanges – proximal, middle and distal – The hand block is constructed of 5 metacarpal bones of a noble gas, the atom of an element tries to gain or lose electrons. In order to achieve the most stable configuration i.e. Without the symbols, it would have been a herculean task to represent all these 118 elements and the umpteen numbers of compounds they form. Chemical formulas and equations are also represented using those symbols. For example, the element with atomic number 110 was named as ‘un un nilium’ with the symbol 'Uun', now it is named Ds.Īs far as students are concerned, it is important to study all the 118 elements with their Symbol and Valency. The elements which are new are temporarily named according to their atomic numbers. When the symbol representing an element is denoted by one letter only, it is written in uppercase.Įxample: 'N' represents Nitrogen, 'O' represents oxygen, etc. Example: 'Ca' representing Calcium, 'He' representing Helium, etc. The first letter of a symbol is capitalized with the second (or third) letters being in lowercase. Rules or Conventions followed to denote the Element using Symbol The symbol 'Fe' is used to denote Iron, as the Latin word for Iron is "Ferrum". Hence gold is denoted by the symbol ‘Au’. Some symbols of a few elements are derived from their Latin or Greek names. One may ask, ‘How is the symbol of an element derived?’ We can see in the table above that most of the symbols are derived from the elements’ names, by taking either the first or first two letters from the English name of the element. Some symbols have three letters, they generally represent synthesized elements newly, with some being temporarily named like that. Example: Elements in group 1A are soft metals that react violently with water.Ī symbol representing a chemical element is a 'sign' or 'notation' that generally consists of one or two letters. Elements arranged vertically in columns are called ‘Groups’ and elements arranged horizontally in rows are called ‘Periods’.įurther elements are grouped as per periodic trends and properties. Key Characteristics of the Periodic Table:Įlements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.Įlements of the Periodic Table are denoted by a unique symbol and not its entire name, as some elements’ names can be long and complex in nature.Įlements are arranged vertically and horizontally. I connected the serial converter to the Nanos RX/TX and power, and successfully uploaded a new sketch.īecause I couldn't find anything on the internet about using an USB to Serial converter(USB to TTL) to upload sketches to all Arduino boards, I decided to write my own instructable. I had an USB to serial converter laying around to upload sketches to my Pro Mini and I thought: "If it's possible to upload sketches to the Pro Mini with this thing, it is probably also possible to use it to upload a sketch to other Arduino boards(the Pro Mini doesn't have an USB to Serial chip on board)." For this you need an other Arduino board and it's not that easy to do. The last solution I found on the internet is to upload sketches using an other Arduino as ISP. Other solutions I found are replacing the diode, but it's a very small SMD diode and not everyone can solder SMD components. I found out it is possibly to send the Nano to a company for repair, it's free but you have to pay for the shipping and it's only for original Arduino boards. then I heard the famous sound of a disconnecting USB device and all leds went dark.Īfter some research on the internet, I found out it's a diode which is probably broken and because of this it is no longer possible to power or upload sketches using the USB port. I put one end on the 5V pin on the sensor and the other one on the ground pin, but some threw something on the table on with I was working and I accidentally short circuited the Arduino 5V and ground. Some time ago, I had a sensor connected to my Arduino Nano but the sensor didn't work, so I decided to get my multimeter to check the connections. |
