Mercury was also used by several chemists, including Carl Wilhelm Scheele, Joseph Priestley, and Humphry Davy to discover other elements. The total electrical charge of the nucleus is therefore +Ze, where e (elementary charge) equals to 1,602 x 10-19 coulombs. Total number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number of the atom and is given the symbol Z. Most of the remaining 40 radioisotopes have half-lives that are less than a day. Mercury is a chemical element with atomic number 80 which means there are 80 protons in its nucleus. The longest-lived radioisotopes are 194 Hg with a half-life of 444 years, and 203 Hg with a half-life of 46.612 days. It is often used as a symbol of medicine, especially in the United States, despite its ancient and consistent associations with trade, liars, thieves, eloquence, negotiation, alchemy, and wisdom. There are seven stable isotopes of mercury (80 Hg) with 202 Hg being the most abundant (29.86). The smallest planet in our solar system and nearest to the Sun, Mercury is only slightly larger than Earths Moon. It was also used by the miners to obtain gold from the New Almaden Mines during the California Gold Rush in 1848. The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around an often winged staff. In ancient times, mercury was known as quicksilver, and it was believed to be able to shift between liquid and solid states. Although the Rod of Asclepius, which has only one snake and is never depicted with wings, is the traditional and more widely used symbol of medicine, the Caduceus is sometimes used. In either case, this alchemy symbol represents the mind, as well as a state that could transcend death. The caduceus is also used as a symbol representing printing, again by extension of the attributes of Mercury (in this case associated with writing and eloquence). The Spanish conquerors in the Americas obtained cinnabar from the mercury deposits at Huancavelica in Peru to extract gold. Mercury (which is also one of the seven planetary metals) can mean both the element and the planet. As a liquid, the mercury would dissolve gold that could be recovered through distillation of mercury. The metal was widely used by the ancient people as a liquid to extract gold from the sediment of rivers. The early humans used cinnabar (mercury sulfide) to decorate the caves in France and Spain with paintings during the Paleolithic era about 30,000 years ago. Who discovered it: The element was probably discovered thousands of years ago and used by the ancient people in India, China, and Egypt, as it has been found in trace amounts in the 3500-year-old Egyptian tombs. Origin of its Name: It is named after ‘Mercury’, the fastest planet in the solar system to revolve around the Sun while its chemical symbol is derived from ‘hydrargyrum’, Greek for “liquid silver” (tesla altfire < bomb altfire, and autoaim can sometimes screw u up) Yeah, it's not the most broken weapon, not the most powerful one, but it's a fine weapon, and I'll take it over the tech version anyday. In the end it depends on how u play, but just saying this rifle is bad is meh. I feel this gun is way better than let's say sniper, even though sniper has its own advantages. You can crowd control by just shooting 1 bullet on a drone every 1sec (and 98 bullet, so u can stun them for quite a while), and you can do the explosion when horde or whatnot. (though yeah, in normal you can just punch anything, so no need any weapon xD)Īll in all, yeah it's not the most efficient weapon, not the most "kill them all" weapon like grenade launcher, nor the most crowd control like tesla/flamer, but it's an ok jack of all trades: Also, in non asbi, non brutal games, this is very fine gun. It's a pretty reliable rifle, my go to in lvl 1 challenge (over pistols any day). Originally posted by WTF-8:In 4 minutes you could explain how it's a bad gun with low DPS and high ammo consumption, how it fails to do the job when anything serious shows up (especially in 8-marine games with twice the enemies), how altfire will often harm yourself instead of the enemies due to teammates magnetting into the barrel, the ages it takes to kill a shieldbug even with several marines shooting at it. Though the video does illustrate the last point.

Essentially just repeating "this is a good weapon" for 4 minutes without even making an attempt to support that statement in a supposedly informative video won't make it a good video. Lyoya is seen resisting the officer’s touch and quickly backs away from the officer, running away from him before the officer tackles him to the ground. No charges will be filed in fatal police shooting of Amir Locke, killed during no-knock warrant service “No, no, no, stop, stop,” the officer is heard saying, and puts his hands on Lyoya’s shoulder and back.ĭemonstrators hold photos of Amir Locke during a rally in protest of his killing, outside the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 5, 2022. He then shuts his door, turns his back to the officer and appears to walk toward the front of the car. He opens the driver’s side front door and speaks to an unidentified passenger in the car. Lyoya confirms he speaks English and says his license is in the car. “I’m stopping ya, do you have a license? Do you have a driver’s license, do you speak English?” he asks. Lyoya is seen exiting the vehicle and is instructed by the officer to “get back in the car … dude, I’m stopping ya, do you have a license? Do you have a license?” The videos include the approximately two minute and 40 second interaction, which begins with the officer walking toward the car. Lyoya, who was driving, gets out to talk to the officer, videos show. The officer has been with the department for seven years, according to police.

People near police headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, protest the death of Patrick Lyoya. “The outcome of the course will be a polished short screenplay and hopefully a substantial understanding of cinematic storytelling and an ability to connect deeper with themselves and their own writing,” Schwartz said. Schwartz says students will explore the dynamics of cinematic storytelling through writing exercises and watching fantastic films. This summer, Schwartz will lead a course called “Beginning Screenwriting” as part of LMU’s Summer Programs, a two-week pre-college experience for rising junior and senior high school students that aims to transform and enlighten. His current slate of courses includes “Intermediate Screenwriting,” “Screenwriting Thesis” (undergraduate and graduate level) and “Adaptation,” for which he created the curriculum. “I remind my students of things they already know and open myself up to learn from them and then express it back,” Schwartz said. Schwartz adds that he aims to cultivate a classroom environment that encourages full creativity without bounds and a keen appreciation for the First Amendment. “People don’t realize what an extraordinary village this is.” “Our support of independent student voices, the small class sizes and sense of closeness that evolves between faculty and students in their working relationships really fits in with the mission,” Schwartz said. “As a professor, I feel that if I can open a student up to confidently express themselves creatively and honestly, then I’ve done my job,” Schwartz said.Īrriving on the bluff in 2000, Schwartz began his career in the classroom with an already impressive industry track record, having worked as a screenwriter for horror auteur Roger Corman, a production assistant for legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and as a story and development executive, helping bring such film classics as “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride” to the screen.īut Schwartz calls his decision to begin teaching at LMU the best career move he’s ever made, and says that the nationally-ranked School of Film and Television stands out from the pack. A native of Gastonia, North Carolina, Schwartz came to LA to make movie magic – little did he know he’d also be making it in the classroom. LMU Professor of Screenwriting Mark Evan Schwartz doesn’t just set the scene for his students, he draws out their voices, enabling them to tell stories that resonate and ring true. Screenwriting Professor Mark Evan Schwartz Draws Out Talent in Students We’ve compiled a list of the top routers and included links to disable the Application Layer Gateway, which can interfere with VoIP calls. Popular brands of routers include Cisco, Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, Asus, and TP-Link. Your router can also function as a modem for some broadband gateways. To disable SIP ALG, you will need to log into your router. Pictured below is an example:ĭisabling SIP ALG is often as simple as unchecking a box. Thanks to easy and simple web interfaces, simply check or uncheck a box. Many routers default SIP ALG to on within their device’s firmware. This traffic is essential to maintaining the phone’s availability and selecting the proper audio codecs. This interruption is happening because of router firewalls. What’s happening is that some VoIP traffic is lost between the phone and the VoIP service provider.
“When my lord the king took my hands, he brought me back to life.” In an early second millennium Babylonian seal, a minor deity takes with his right hand the hand of a supplicant, leading him before a major god. , 'in strength,' full of strength, because, however feeble in body, he is wise in counsel, firm in purpose, brave in conduct, thoroughly to be depended upon, and supported by his perfect trust in God (comp. Gods and other people took one’s hand in order to assist them. I shall support your right hand,” apparently the hand used in battle. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock. The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation my fathers God, and I will. A similar word of encouragement is given several times to Esarhaddon from the goddess Ishtar of Arbela, and to Ashurbanipal by Ishtar. Isaiah 26: 3-4 Those of steadfast mind you keep in peacebecause they trust in you. Psalm 34:10b Those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. In an Egyptian Aramaic liturgical text, the chief god, Mar, says: “Be strong. Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Psalm 9:9-10 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 18:1-5 I love you, Lord, my strength. In the Seleucid period, a property mark was inscribed on a slave’s right hand. Psalm 103:2-5 Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from. Being the dominant hand, the right had special significance. Such cases, like that of Isaiah, promise divine intervention on behalf of someone in trouble. A similar word of encouragement is given several times to Esarhaddon from the goddess Ishtar of Arbela, and to Ashurbanipal by Ishtar and Ninurta, “Don’t be afraid!” Naram-Sin similarly exhorted the readers of his stele not to fear. Played straight by a newscaster pony named Karen.

Cake who were the original owners of the Sugarcube Corner in Friendship is Magic are absent here as Pinkie Pie runs the Sugarcube Corner by herself. Here, he's closer to a slightly nicer but no less dangerous Mr. Adaptational Personality Change: Discord, in this continuity, is still a Wild Card, but less of an antagonist and more of a Friendly Enemy / Sitcom Arch-Nemesis to the group than a true villain as he was in Friendship in Magic.Adaptational Nice Guy: Discord the draconequus who was an antagonist in Friendship Is Magic is far nicer, but still a trickster nonetheless, with his Jerkass tendencies softened.Adaptational Comic Relief: Discord was quite scary at times in FIM, but here he's a plain ol' goofball, at least from his single appearance.This is still the first time the new name has been spoken by a character, though. Her "new" name was still used beforehand in the credits of the Friendship Is Magic episode, "Slice of Life", as well as some merchandise.
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Low Amniotic Fluid? Maternal Complications: Factors such as hypertension, preeclampsia, maternal dehydration, diabetes, and chronic hypoxia can affect the levels of the amniotic fluid.In such cases, a woman can have low amniotic fluid levels that could be a result of the decline in the placental function. Post-Date Pregnancy: This refers to a pregnancy that goes beyond 42 weeks.Problems with the Placenta: If a woman’s placenta is not able to provide enough blood and nutrients for the baby, the baby may stop recycling the fluid.A premature rupture of the membrane can also result in lower levels of amniotic fluid. Leaking or a Rupture of the Membranes: This refers to a gush of fluid or a slow trickle of fluid that occurs because of a tear in the membrane.Congenital Disabilities: This includes problems with the development of the kidneys or the urinary tract that could cause lesser production of urine, leading to lower levels of amniotic fluid.If a woman has passed her due date by two weeks or more, she may be at a high risk for this condition as the fluids can decrease by half, after she reaches 42 weeks’ gestation. However, it is most common during the last trimester. The condition of low amniotic fluid can occur at any time during pregnancy. If the AFI shows the fluid as less than 5 centimetres, the absence of the fluid pocket 2-3 cm in depth, or the fluid volume of less than 500 ml at about 32-36 weeks’ gestation, then oligohydramnios is suspected. While you are pregnant, doctors can measure the amount of amniotic fluid present through various methods such as deep pocket measurements or the amniotic fluid index (AFI) evaluation. Oligohydramnios, commonly known as low amniotic fluid is a condition in which, a pregnant woman has too little amniotic fluid. If the measurement of the fluid is too low, it is called oligohydramnios while, if it is too high, it is called polyhydramnios. Sometimes, this fluid may measure too high or too low. As the baby grows, she or he will move in the womb with the help of this fluid, and in the second trimester, the baby will begin breathing and swallowing the amniotic fluid. It is first made up of water which is provided by the mother, and by about 20 weeks the foetal urine becomes the primary substance. This fluid is produced soon after the amniotic sac forms, i.e., about 12 days’ post-conception. Your doctor may want to see you more often.The amniotic fluid is a part of a baby’s life support system that protects the baby and assists in the development of the muscles, lungs, limbs and digestive system. You may be asked to drink more water, or you may be given fluids through an intravenous (IV) needle into a vein. Depending on what's causing low amniotic fluid and how close you are to delivery, your doctor may want to try to start (induce) labor. If you're near the end of your pregnancy, you may not need treatment. This index is a way of measuring the amount of fluid in your uterus. A problem with the baby's kidneys or urinary tract.ĭoctors use ultrasound to calculate the amniotic fluid index.It supplies your baby with nutrients and oxygen through the umbilical cord. The placenta is a large organ that grows in your uterus during pregnancy. A health problem such as high blood pressure or diabetes.It may lead to problems during labor and delivery. The fluid helps your baby move around in the uterus.Ī low amount of this fluid can affect how the baby grows. And it keeps your baby at a healthy temperature. The medical term for this problem is oligohydramnios.Īmniotic fluid protects your baby from being bumped or hurt as you move your body. Low amniotic fluid means that there is too little fluid around your baby in the uterus during pregnancy. Topic Overview What is low amniotic fluid?
