![]() ![]() The Two Queens, coiling around each other, make a loud proclamation in unison with a voice like wild thunder. ![]() Anyone (save cohorts) who happens to be in the throne room screams in terror and flees before these otherworldly horrors. The two marilith and the other three glabrezu arrive together in the center of the Throne room. “Bow, mortals! Beg for mercy! For the Court of the Two Queens has come!” The Glabrezu drops his illusion moments before they appear. Then, the entire cadre will arrive in one dramatic flourish. One of the Glabrezu slaves will use their veil to conceal themselves in the upper gallery of the Throne Room and the Queens will scry upon their slave, watching it until finally their quarry is in the Throne Room. They have been given the location of the Throne Room of the Old Palace. No, the Two Queens and their slaves are pure agents of destruction. These are not subtle agents of chaos, who infiltrate the populace and slowly learn about their targets. S’zara and Iggerath are only too eager to fulfill the whims of their nameless masters. A band of demonic assassins called “The Court of the Two Queens” is hired and sent to the prime material plane to slay our villains so that hell’s influence will be curtailed and so that the kingdom of Talingarde, leaderless, will descend into utter chaos. Thus is born the second crisis of rulership. ![]() But in Talingarde, one of them sees an opportunity. For centuries, the countless lords of the abyss have been trying to gain a foothold upon this world. Our villains may not realize this, but by helping Hell gain so solid a foothold on this island, they have made more enemies than just celestials. ![]()

All of the shoes have been tested, with feedback from Runner’s World staff and our team of wear testers. Here are our picks of the best Nike running shoes, listed by type of run or runner. Throughout its history, the Swoosh has shown an ongoing commitment to creating shoes that help runners go faster, farther and more comfortably, and today Nike produce some of the best running shoes you can buy. None more so that the Vaporfly 4% in 2017, the first racer to feature a full-length carbon fibre plate in the midsole to increase energy return. ![]() Since then Nike has launched a host of innovations, changing the face of running. Then, in 1978, followed the Air sole – an air-filled pod in the midsole designed to absorb impact. Taking it off to the garage to experiment, he ruined the waffle iron but eventually created the waffle sole, still in use today. In 1970, Bowerman – while trying to devise a way of improving traction on newly designed track surfaces – caught side of the family waffle iron. The first official Bowerman-engineered design was the 1967 Cortez, which featured a full-length foam midsole – displaying the kind of innovation that has become the brand’s hallmark ever since. Bowerman had long been tinkering with the designs of his athlete's shoes in an attempt to get the edge on their rivals. When the relationship with the Japanese company became tricker, they started to develop their very own running shoe designs. In 1964, he partnered with his former coach at the University of Oregon, Bill Bowerman, and Blue Ribbon Sports, the precursor to Nike, was born. When Phil Knight decided to start importing Japanese Onitsuka shoes (a company that later become known as Asics) in the early 1960s, he did so with a loan from his dad and out of the back of his car. ![]() Not breathable as expectedĪlthough this model is made of mesh, it is fully lined with textile that hampers ventilation.Now that Nike is a global powerhouse, involved in virtually every sport, it's easy to forget that they started out as a running shoe company. Though it takes a while for your feet to feel accustomed to this sneaker's fit, many buyers love how this kick hugs their feet almost perfectly after passing the break-in point. It offers tons of support, minimizing ball of foot and heel stress even when walking on concrete the whole day. Homey strides are almost always guaranteed with this Nike model. It has an admirable one-of-a-kind repurposed and contemporary style. Wearers feel much more balanced while traversing the city pavements thanks to its broad heel base and fabric overlay on its midfoot. Nike did not add tissue wrappers as well to reduce trash.Īlthough it looks volumetric, this sneaker is surprisingly lightweight, even lighter than the Nike Air Tuned Max. Even its shoebox is made from recycled cardboard and also works as the sneaker's delivery box. The Pinwheel logo depicts that this model is made from at least 20% recycled materials. The straight-edged overlays are another move by Nike to help reduce scrap and improve construction efficiency. Its recycled Nike Grind outsole boasts superb grip and robustness. It has a slightly sculpted design which is similar to another eco-friendly collection, the Space Hippie kicks. Its uniquely speckled Crater foam is made from waste found on the cutting-room floors, thus reducing waste. Here are some of its essential specifics: This running-inspired sneaker brags about its robust construction and environmental-friendly materials.

Then, it was Ines Stephani of Drake giving Drake their first point with a 6-1, 7-5 victory over Zlatanovic at no. Then in singles, Kolarevic kept it rolling as she was almost unstoppable, picing up a 6-0, 6-3 victory as she pushed ISU's lead to 2-0. "We came out swinging in singles and kept the momentum for picking up the doubles point which was huge in order for us to win." "Getting the doubles point was huge for us especially as we headed to singles," Kovacek said. 2, it was ISU's tandem of Alexandra Abyasova and Silivia Pomarolli who clinched the early advantage off a 6-4 win as the action shifted to singles. The visiting Bulldogs would pull even in doubles as Mille Haagensen and Darinka Stepan knocked off Tara Damnjanovic and Tijana Zlatanovic by a final of 6-3. 3 duo of Elena Jankulovska and Nevena Kolarevic got the 'Birds on the board first with a 6-2 win, as the next match to finish came at no. The Redbirds scored the first point of the day after securing two wins in the doubles competition. "We knew we would need that confidence and focus from the beginning to perform in every spot possible." "Energy was great from the beginning and the focus was on par with how the past matches have gone against Drake," ISU head coach Maja Kovacek said. – In their first conference home match of the spring, Illinois State (9-6) picked up a 5-2 win over Drake (8-7) Saturday afternoon at the Evergreen Racquet Club to remain perfect in MVC play and win their fifth straight home match this spring. at East Campus Tennis Courts.BLOOMINGTON, Ill.

Google also encrypts your data whenever it is in transit within its internal network. This is the very same encryption standard used to secure browser connections to HTTPS websites, and a quick check with the independent encryption auditing tool Qualys SSL Labs reveals that Google’s TLS connections are rated A+ (which is as good as it gets). To mitigate this threat, Google encrypts your data using TLS encryption before it's uploaded. When you upload data to Google's central servers, it must travel there via the internet, and this means that it could be intercepted while in transit. The first potential security risk your data can encounter is during transmission. So, what kind of security does Google Drive really offer its users? If you want the full story, or are considering Google Drive as an option, you'll want to check out our Google Drive review. Evidence of Google Drive working hand-in-hand with the NSA on its PRISM surveillance program has already surfaced, after all. However, anyone using Google Drive to back up sensitive documents may have concerns about how secure the service really is. Google Drive is an easy and efficient way to back up data to the cloud, and, because it is available for free (up to 5GB of storage) with a Gmail account, it's extremely popular. In this guide, we'll take a look at these popular storage solutions to figure out just how secure their service is.

There have even been reports of users losing their entire photo library when updating their Windows operating system, much to their dismay. Hard drives can become corrupt, making local storage risky, and a mobile device can similarly be lost, stolen, or broken. All of us have a huge amount of documents, photos, videos, and music that we want to keep safe – but doing so isn't always a straightforward process. ![]() ![]() ![]() The third angle is called the vertex angle. The congruent angles are called the base angles. In order to understand the isosceles triangle theorem well, it is important that you know about triangles and conditions and properties of congruence and similarity between two triangles. Knowing which of the sides in an isosceles triangle is equal to another (a leg), or whether it is the third side (the base), gives us a way to reference these sides, and, as we will see later, to consider important properties of the angles. In this article, we have been given some useful terminology for the sides of an isosceles triangle. The isosceles triangle theorems establish a relationship between the different angles and sides of a triangle. A triangle in which two sides (legs) are equal and the base angles are equal is known as an isosceles triangle.Īs mentioned above, the isosceles triangle theorem is a set of mathematical statements related to the isosceles triangle that can be proven with mathematical proof. The name isosceles triangle is derived from the Greek words ‘iso’ which means same, and ‘skelos’ meaning legs. In this article, we will learn all about the isosceles triangle theorem, its converse with proofs and some solved examples. ![]() The isosceles triangle theorem will help you to solve any maths problem related to the isosceles triangle. Together with their properties are called isosceles triangle theorems. As a result, the isosceles triangle has some properties that set it apart from the other polygons in general. ![]() ![]() ![]() It secures your account, and gives you a way to reset your password should you get locked out.

The result is a larger central area, a couple of outside stables, as well as a hen house. While retaining the wooden design of the previous build, this design by Zaypixel brings it up to scale. The all-wood design makes it easily accessible, and the aesthetically pleasing design means you won’t have to tear it down later. Rather than sheer storage space, this more reasonably-sized build is meant to serve as an early game storage area.

The unfortunate part is that these sorts of farms focus on quantity: jamming as many mobs as possible into as small a place as possible. It also helps that they’re a consistent source of food (along with other passive, farm-type mobs). Whether it’s a simple crop farm, a mob farm, or anything in between, the near infinite ways to automate tasks (making resource gathering easier in the process) is a driving force behind the seemingly indefinite lifespan of the game.Īnimal farms are also important: Cows are the most consistent, risk-free source of leather, which is an important part of the decorating/aesthetic process, if not for the upgraded enchantments offered by bookshelves.

Several studies published about Regenerative medicine demonstrate the efficacy of Regenerative treatments. We eliminate this risk by performing the procedure in a sterile environment. Like with any injection , there is a little risk of infection at the sample collection site. Studies also show that there are no safety issues with fat-derived autologous (from self) cells, thus eliminating any risks of rejection. Your immune system has no reason to attack cells harvested from your body, hence there is no risk of rejection or cross-transmission of disease. Safe procedures with No risk of rejection and No communicable disease transmission For some patients, however, the complete procedure involves a series of injections in several treatment sessions. In some cases, it may be a combination of more than one treatment protocol. Based on the reports, the Consultant will decide which line of Regenerative Therapy is most suited to your case. These tests help to establish a baseline for your pre-existing condition. Same day procedureĪfter a comprehensive examination and review of your case, the Consultant advises a few blood tests & radio-imaging scans. It provides a safe, increasingly effective non-surgical alternative to treating medical conditions using the body’s own natural ability to repair itself without the use of medication. No use of general anaesthesiaĭo you get anxious at the thought of anaesthesia? Regenerative Therapy may be just what you need as it does not require the use of general anaesthesia. With Regenerative therapies, there is far less risk involved than rotator cuff surgery and recovery time is much shorter compared to surgery. One of the most time-consuming factors of any injury is not always the treatment itself, but the recovery time. ![]() Also, you can resume physical activity much faster than after invasive rotator cuff tear surgery. No general anaesthesia is required, and most patients don’t need post-operative pain medication. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and only takes 1-2 hours. Regenerative treatment for rotator cuff is a, minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure, which gives patients an alternative to painful shoulder surgery and a lengthy recovery. Regenerative Therapy is an alternative treatment option and has been proven successful not just by scientist and researchers in labs, but also by doctors who utilise this treatment for a variety of conditions clinically.Īvoid surgery and its risks and many complications While surgery and pain-killers have their uses, there is another treatment method that provides efficient pain relief, Regenerative Therapy. Regenerative Treatment method is often overlooked, but you may benefit from Regenerative Medicines like Adipose-derived Cell Therapy or Platelet Rich Plasma – PRP therapy. Rehabilitation after surgery helps to strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the shoulder and results are not guaranteed and time-consuming. Surgery usually keeps you away from sports as it has a long downtime post-surgery and with extensive rehabilitation. In cases of complete rotator cuff tear surgery is indicated. Doctors mostly suggest ice pack, rest, pain-killers and exercise to manage symptoms of pain. Conventional treatment for rotator cuff tear mainly focuses on managing symptoms. Traumatic injury to shoulder also sometimes causes rotator cuff tear. Rotator cuff injury is prevalent in older adults and sportspersons, especially in athletes who repeatedly need to move their arms overhead. Sadly, rotator cuff injury is common and leads to a rotator cuff tear or a torn rotator cuff altogether. These structures facilitate to keep the two parts of the shoulder, the shoulder blade and the upper arm, stabilised. The rotator cuff is a musculotendinous structure formed mainly by muscles, tendons and ligaments that surrounds the shoulder joint. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Martina Ibanez-Baldor and Calvin Alagot / Los Angeles Times) They successfully convinced a generation that candy is actually a good thing to eat when you’re hungry and that it may even fuel your Olympics and discus-throwing aspirations.īut peanuts, caramel and nougat are a combination that’s hard to argue with, and the classic brown-and-blue design remains attractive to the eye after all these decades. Snickers, introduced in 1930, has a done a great job with its marketing over the years, etching the slogan “ Packed with peanuts, Snickers really satisfies” into my television-addled brain at a very young age. The chewy center can get to be a little much, but it’s a small price to pay for this candy bar par excellence. Why more companies haven’t keyed in to the magical Salt + Sweet = Good equation is confounding, but it makes it all the more satisfying when you find a bar as good as a Payday, a caramel core rolled in salted peanuts. And for that reason, and nearly that reason alone, the Payday bar is extremely good. It’s saltier than Twitter whenever Bret Stephens publishes a column. I used to nibble off the waxy chocolate outside as a kid and eat the candy core in one go. Remember the good old days when our favorite TV shows used to sell out? Not the sneaky sponsored content of today but, like, very obviously, shamelessly sell out? Bart Simpson shilling for Butterfinger created some pretty good commercials back in the ’80s and ’90s, such as when he illustrated for his friend Milhouse the four food groups: sandwich group, cow group (milk), jungle group (banana), and Butterfinger group.īutterfinger remains one of the best candy bars out there: the thin, brittle candy layers taste strongly of peanut butter, and there’s a great saltiness to the bar. The rest of the bar combines seemingly every other good thing you find in other bars: chocolate, caramel, peanut butter and peanuts. Pretzels! Of course! The simple, modest pretzel does so much by adding salt and texture, two essential components to a great candy bar. We’ve now got the unrelated Take 5 candy bar, which manages to crack the candy bar code with the addition of pretzel. We already loved Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five,” the jazz piece in 5/4 time that is really, really hard to whistle. ![]() ![]() Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes more.

Perhaps, this will help you mentally imagine the magnitude of a force stated in newtons. How: Equation (3.5) with g c = 1 (since we are using SI units). Know: Newton's Second Law applies using MKS units. Need: Weight in newtons on a mass of 0.102 kg accelerated at 9.81 m/s 2. What is the weight in newtons of a mass of 0.102 kg? It is convenient to give this set of units a unique new name (mainly to keep from having to write the combined mass times acceleration units for every force), and in the SI system, the force unit is called the newton (abbreviated N). 3 The unit of force must then simply be equivalent to the units of mass times the units of acceleration. ![]() The ratio F 1/ m 1 a 1 was chosen so that its numerical value is exactly “1” and so that it effectively has no (i.e., ) dimensions. The SI system is somewhat similar to the slug system with the choice for the constant of proportionality g c being both easy and logical. Its disadvantage is that you have little “feel” for the size of a slug. Its obvious advantage is that Newton's Second Law constant of proportionality g c is exactly 1, so the law can be written in the familiar form of F = ma, with the stipulation that mass m is in slugs and the acceleration is in ft/s 2. In fact, the slug system is still preferred in the United States in some engineering fields. G c = m 1 a 1 F 1 = 1 slug × ft lbf × s 2 Hence the two components of force are of the same size, as long as the pipe diameter is constant round the bend, and the resultant force on the bend will be outwards and at 45° to each of the two arms of the pipe. The liquid is brought to rest in the original direction and accelerated from rest up to full speed in the final direction. The calculation for such a situation is similar to that for the curved vane above except that pipe bends are usually right angles and so the working is easier. In practical terms this is important because the supports for the pipe must be designed to be strong enough to withstand this force. Therefore if a liquid flows along a pipeline which has a bend in it then a considerable force can be generated on the pipe by the liquid even though the liquid may keep the same speed throughout. This means that a force will be required to change the direction of a flowing liquid, just as it is required to change the speed of the liquid. ![]() Velocity is a vector quantity and so it has direction as well as magnitude. ![]() ![]() Newton's second law relates to the forces caused by changes in velocity. Bill Bolton, in Mechanical Engineering Systems, 2001 Forces on pipe bends And indeed, as illustrated in Figure, the same net external force applied to a car produces a much smaller acceleration than when applied to a basketball.Richard Gentle. In other words, the larger the mass (the inertia), the smaller the acceleration produced by a given force. Now, it also seems reasonable that acceleration should be inversely proportional to the mass of the system. It is a tremendous simplification not to have to consider the numerous internal forces acting between objects within the system, such as muscular forces within the child’s body, let alone the myriad of forces between atoms in the objects, but by doing so, we can easily solve some very complex problems with only minimal error due to our simplification Once the system of interest is chosen, it is important to identify the external forces and ignore the internal ones. The techniques are the same as for the addition of other vectors, and are covered in the chapter section on Two-Dimensional Kinematics.) This proportionality states what we have said in words- acceleration is directly proportional to the net external force. (The net external force is the vector sum of all external forces and can be determined graphically, using the head-to-tail method, or analytically, using components. ![]() |
