``sufficient for the vexation it is, that men should grieve for it, at the time that it comes upon them.'' This proverb is thus expressed in the Talmud F20, ( htevb hrul hyd), "sufficient for distress", or "vexation, is the present time" which the gloss explains thus, Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. The morrow is here introduced by a "prosopopeia", as if it was a person sufficiently thoughtful and careful for the necessaries of it: every day brings along with it fresh care and thought, being attended with fresh wants and troubles and therefore, it is very unadvisable, to bring the cares and troubles of two days upon one as he does, who is anxiously concerned today, for the things of tomorrow ``( rxm tru rut la), "do not distress thyself with tomorrow's affliction, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth" perhaps tomorrow may not be, and thou wilt be found distressing thyself, for the time which is nothing to thee.''Īnd should it come, it is unnecessary to be thoughtful of it in a distressing manner before hand įor the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. This is expressed in the Talmud F19, nearer the sense of Christ's words, after this manner: "Boast not of thyself tomorrow": a man cannot promise or assure himself, that he shall have a morrow, and therefore it is great weakness and folly to be anxiously thoughtful about it.

Together with the active yet efficient suspension, the Full Stache will get you up the steepest and most technical climbs with ease. Thanks to the 3.0″ wide Bontrager XR4 tires, you won’t have any issues with the back wheel losing traction either. Even with the Full Stache in the slack setting, you’ll never have to worry about the front wheel lifting. Due to the long stem and the low stack height, the front of the bike stays nicely weighted on steep passages. The riding position is aggressive and slightly stretched. The Full Stache offers the right mix of comfort and efficiency for extended expeditions. When the next adventure calls, long hours in the saddle are inevitable. It only has space for one water bottle in the front triangle. However, bikepackers will be disappointed – the Full Stache doesn’t feature Trek’s usual mounts on the top tube to carry additional gear. Fortunately, the much-criticised Bontrager Line dropper post has been updated and delivers 150mm travel without any issues. Trek’s in-house Bontrager cockpit comes with a 60 mm stem. The raised chainstay keeps the chain nice and quiet. Peace and quietĮnjoying nature and the trails to the fullest is what the Full Stache is made for. With this combination, the braking power of the Full Stache 8 isn’t reliable enough for long descents. Trek combine SRAM Guide R brakes with 180 mm rotors front and rear. Rims/Hubs Bontrager/SUNringlé Düroc 40 29″ Shifting is taken care of by a SRAM GX-Eagle drivetrain. The rest of the componentry of the beautifully finished Full Stache is spot on though. Combined with 180 mm rotors front and rear, the SRAM Guide R is neither reliable nor powerful enough for this bike. One obvious weakness we spotted before we even rode the bike was the underpowered brakes. The FOX FLOAT EVOL shock provides 130mm travel at the rear, matching the 130 mm RockShox PIKE at the front. To create the clearance necessary to accommodate the bulky tires, the pivot point of the rear linkage has been moved far forwards on the aluminium frame and the driveside chainstay is raised above the chain. The € 3,499 Full Stache 8, is fitted with 3.0″ Bontrager XR4 tires mounted on 40 mm wide 29″ wheels, bringing the bike’s total weight to 15.31 kg. The Stache is an attempt to bridge the gap between long-distance bikepacking and fun on the trails. While plus tires never really got rolling in Europe, they have long become an established MTB trend in the United States. The Stache hails from the USA, the land of both endless possibilities and bikepacking. To understand the Trek Full Stache, you first have to understand where it’s coming from. This was a setup where you have a Distribution switch and below are all the Access switches. I was able to make it work with the following. Thank you for the Good information and the links to the good data. Our models idealize the behavior of a transistor as a switch if we decide to study electrical engineering, we will learn many transistor models that describe them more accurately, but for our purposes, our toy model suffices. In our model, we can think of the base as a remote control of the switch between points A and B. Remember that the job of a model is to describe how something works, not how something really is. In both cases, though, we place the transistor in saturation when we create a current that flows through both the emitter and the base of the transistor.Īlthough physically the base of a transistor is connected to the emitter and collector, our toy model shows the base always disconnected from the emitter and the collector. The NPN and NPN transistors operate in opposite ways: the NPN transistor is in saturation when the base receives a logical 1, while the PNP is in saturation when the base receives a logical 0. Ideal behavior of NPN and PNP BJTs in the saturation region This is the TO-92 package pin configuration of the two transistors: The spec sheets of these transistors areīoth the 2N2222A and the 2N2907 come in the same TO-92 package so they look the same if our circuit is not working correctly, one of the first things to do it to make sure we are using the correct transistor. We are going to use the 2N2907 PNP transistor, which is a complementary PNP transistor for the NPN 2N2222. NPN and PNP transistors that have similar specs and operate in the same voltage range are called complementary. However, we are not designing an integrated circuit but instead working with discrete elements on a breadboard, so for that effect they are equivalent. NPN transistors have certain advantages at the time of designing integrated circuits, e.g., they are faster than PNP ones and use less silicon area. In our lab circuits, we used 2N2222 transistors, which are NPN. The sandwiched region is called the ‘base’, while the regions on the sides are called the emitter and the collector. An NPN transistor has two n-type semiconductor material sandwiching a p-type one the PNP transistor is the reverse. There are two types of BJTs: NPN (n-type/p-type/n-type) and PNP (p-type/n-type/p-type). BJTs operate faster than most other types of transistors, but for our purposes, their particular advantage is that they are fairly resistant to static electricity, so we are less likely to damage them with the static electricity of our bodies, and we can handle them with our hands without having to be grounded be aware that most other types of transistors are not so forgiving and touching them without being grounded are likely to damage them. There are several types of transistors one of such types is called BJT (Bipolar Junction transistors). In practice, even simple designs are likely to use standard transistor models that take into account voltage drops at the junctions, leaked currents, βs, and so on, but for us that have no background in electronics, our simple functional models are enough. In this page, I describe a bare-bones model for the transistors, which has no use other than to make clear how an ideal transistor would replace a physical switch. I’ll try to write something unusual each time I write one of these supplements. This material supplements section 1 – circuits. The "per" was often abbreviated as "p."-eventually disappeared entirely. The sign for "percent" evolved by gradual contraction of the Italian term per cento, meaning "for a hundred". The term "percent" is derived from the Latin per centum, meaning "hundred" or "by the hundred". Main article: Percent sign A percent sign By the 17th century, it was standard to quote interest rates in hundredths. Many of these texts applied these methods to profit and loss, interest rates, and the Rule of Three. Computation with these fractions was equivalent to computing percentages.Īs denominations of money grew in the Middle Ages, computations with a denominator of 100 became increasingly standard, such that from the late 15th century to the early 16th century, it became common for arithmetic texts to include such computations. For example, Augustus levied a tax of 1 / 100 on goods sold at auction known as centesima rerum venalium. In Ancient Rome, long before the existence of the decimal system, computations were often made in fractions in the multiples of 1 / 100. For example, it is common to refer to 111% or −35%, especially for percent changes and comparisons. While many percentage values are between 0 and 100, there is no mathematical restriction and percentages may take on other values. Expressed as a percentage, this is a 6% increase. If there are 500 students, then 250 of them are male.Īn increase of $0.15 on a price of $2.50 is an increase by a fraction of 0.15 / 2.50 = 0.06. If 50% of the total number of students in the class are male, that means that 50 out of every 100 students are male. (Similarly, one can also express a number as a fraction of 1,000, using the term " per mille" or the symbol " ‰".) Percentages are often used to express a proportionate part of a total. Examplesįor example, 45% (read as "forty-five per cent") is equal to the fraction 45 / 100, the ratio 45:55 (or 45:100 when comparing to the total rather than the other portion), or 0.45. A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number), primarily used for expressing proportions, but percent is nonetheless a unit of measurement in its orthography and usage. It is often denoted using the percent sign (%), although the abbreviations pct., pct, and sometimes pc are also used. In mathematics, a percentage (from Latin per centum 'by a hundred') is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. For the unit of currency, see cent (currency).Ī pie chart showing the percentage by web browser visiting Wikimedia sites (April 2009 to 2012) How much more can they take? What will these cereal corporations tell them next? That they allowed that poor rabbit to have Trix once in a while? Just ask his therapist if that's really true. They're already being hypnotized by the Cap'n's blank, soulless stare every time they go to the grocery store. Their young and impressionable minds don't deserve to be subjected to these lies. Not only is this a serious offense for the U.S. "We have notified NCIS and we’re looking into whether or not he’s impersonating a naval officer - and that’s a serious offense." Navy’s news desk at the Pentagon, told WSJ. Commander Chris Servello, director of the U.S. "We have no Cap’n Crunch in the personnel records - and we checked," Lt. The Wall Street Journal decided to probe deeper into this monumental scandal by launching an investigation with the cooperation of the U.S. So what's the deal, "Cap'n" Crunch? Is Crunch even your real last name? Three stripes! A Naval captain's uniform actually has four stripes. Most brand icons in those days had full names, whether they were ever explicitly mentioned, or not. Since the cereal was introduced in 1963, its jolly mascot has been going around calling himself a captain and saying captain-y things like "All hands on deck!" Last year, a food blogger discovered that he doesn't deserve to be called Cap'n at all.Ī Foodbeast blogger made the history-changing discovery that Cap'n Crunch's uniform only has three stripes on the cuffs. He is a widely known figure within the computer programming world and the hacker and security community, and generally lives a nomadic lifestyle. In a scandal that might shatter your entire existence, it's been revealed that celebrated breakfast hero Cap'n Crunch is living a lie and dragging all of us down with him: Cap'n Crunch is a commander, not a captain. John Thomas Draper (born March 11, 1943), also known as Captain Crunch, Crunch, or Crunchman (after the Capn Crunch breakfast cereal mascot), is an American computer programmer and former phone phreak. The idea is to hide in one place and let the target come to him. Even though he knows the dangers in taking one last big job, Billy agrees to the assignment. Two underworld associates offer Billy the biggest payday of his career as a sniper, a cool $2 million that would allow him to retire comfortably from the killing business. This is also true on the road of life, where people veer all over the place and drive the wrong way on the turnpike.” “You don’t use it because you expect to be in a crash, but you never know who you might meet coming over a hill on your side of the road. “It’s like a seatbelt,” he says of his dumb self. In his business, being underestimated often proves safer than being clever. Billy likes to put his “dumb self” on display, leaving those who hire him with the impression that he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. “Billy Summers” opens with the title character awaiting a client while reading Emile Zola’s “Therese Raquin,” switching the novel for an Archie comic book when the potential customers arrive. Rather, he’s a 44-year-old sure-shot assassin, albeit one who shoots and kills only “bad” people. Billy, however, isn’t an earnest young creative writing student at some community college. King’s new novel, “Billy Summers,” goes all-in in its depiction of a neophyte learning to craft a story. In March’s “Later,” the protagonist’s mother works as a literary agent, her livelihood dependent on the output of a single best-selling author. This year, King has already delivered one novel with a strong connection to the world of books. Write what you know, right? If only it were that easy.

The time-stuck Romans, meanwhile, are a likeable, or at least interesting, bunch, even when they're being antagonistic. That knot was Greek, but you get the point.įraser: Anachronistic ziplines and magical timeloops aside, The Forgotten City still revels in history and makes you feel like a time-travelling archaeologist-an enviable job. The wonderful Galerius greets you each day, and when you barrel up to him shouting instructions to save the lives of people you figured out how to save in the previous loop, he just gets on with it. The Forgotten City gets around that with two inventions: an arguably anachronistic zipline, and a sensible human being. Timeloop games seem like a great idea, but it turns out redoing the same thing even more than videogames usually demand is actually super frustrating. You're in a timeloop, reliving a single day in ancient Rome. There's only one gladiator, but you get the point. The battles themselves are entertainingly over-the-top, but it's the experimentation and strategising that keeps me coming back. You construct a roster, ideally based around the major synergies of that season, and watch them battle your opponents' teams. Nevertheless, as someone who's also terminally bad at MOBAs, Teamfight has been a welcome excuse to explore the peripheries of Riot's most popular game. Phil: Fraser, you're going to get emails for calling LoL "rubbish". I love the constant reinvention of characters and mechanics, and building my loadout of heroes mid-battle, but the real appeal is how easy it is to just hang out and shoot the shit with friends while my diligent little warriors duke it out or die. Teamfight Tacticsįraser: TFT is one of the last autobattlers left standing-the product of a short-lived trend that no doubt benefited from sharing a launcher with the rubbish but immensely popular League of Legends. It's inherently cool, as you painstakingly plan out multiple takedowns, to hit a single button and watch the synchronised action play out. Shadows Tactics' coup de grace is Shadow Mode, which lets you queue up moves for your whole team to perform at the same time. This leads to myriad options within a single level, creating a playground of possibilities. Others are stuck to the ground, but bring traps and tricks to help clear a path. Some are nimble, able to navigate rooftops and tricky terrain. Your motley crew brings a variety of different ways to distract, dispatch and disappear your foes, and it's these asynchronous abilities that make the difficulty so satisfying to overcome. The real pleasure here is being dropped into large maps full of guards, and slowly picking apart the puzzle of their intricate patrol routes as you work your way through. Phil: One of the most rewarding stealth games of recent years, embracing the hardcore, unforgiving attitude of the genre but still modernising it where it counts. Every mission is a lovely puzzle and there's an immense joy in meticulously setting up and pulling off the simultaneous kill I envisioned using all of my party members. Lauren Morton, Associate Editor: Shadow Tactics is the immaculate tactical stealth success that proved Mimimi Games had the chops to take up the Desperados series. I can't think of a suppurating psychic wound I'd rather spend my time in. It's the perfect cyberpunk setting: grimy, dank, and claustrophobic, soundtracked by the thrum of distant machines, and always, always raining. Josh Wolens, News Writer: Dragonfall is my favourite Shadowrun game, but Hong Kong's take on Kowloon Walled City is a triumph. It's a great magical cyberpunk yarn, but just as great as a story about cities, and how they-and the people living in them-can become victims of the machinations of the wealthy and powerful. Hong Kong, and especially the Walled City, are messy, chaotic and feel even more alive thanks to the magic that alters them in ways both subtle and significant. Robin Valentine, Print Editor: The excellent Shadowrun: Dragonfall has been in our list for a few years now, but I definitely prefer Hong Kong for its brilliantly evocative setting.įraser Brown, Online Editor: I've got a big soft spot for urban fantasy, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong does it a lot better than most. They're one of the best RPG parties around. Your whole crew is made of misfits, including a rat-spirit shaman who treats garbage like gourmet. Bringing him along on heists and infiltrations means fast-talking guards and civilians to convince them he's an actor or a cosplayer. Jody: One recruitable companion in this cyberpunk-fantasy RPG is a Japanese ghoul samurai. And adding insult to injury, the lenses that are crimped into the rubber are small and easily fog up. As effective as that may seem, it’s very uncomfortable for the wearer. The latex rubber adheres to the skin and creates a seal, preventing contaminants from inhalation. The GP-5 is a helmet-type gas mask with white/black rubber that stretches over the head. To this day, if you really wanted a GP-5, you could potentially go to the site of the Chernobyl disaster and you’d likely find several in the debris, scattered amidst the disaster zones. Since most Soviet Union civilians were expected to have a GP-5 gas mask (including the children but with a longer hose), they were cheaper than most, simple to produce and easy to obtain. The Dicey Design of the GP-5 and GP-7Īs mentioned, the GP-5 was specifically designed to counter a possible nuclear war with the U.S. After the GP-5m (the upgrade which came after the GP-5), the Soviet Union then began production on the GP-7 gas mask which was distributed in 1988. It was used as a way of preventing the inhalation of toxic and radioactive substances, including bacterial agents.Īs stated, the GP-5 would cease production in 1990, and so if you find one today, it’s likely it will NOT be as effective against nuclear disaster or a respiratory hazard. All civilians were advised that these gas masks would last up to 24 hours. What mattered then was that it was (1) super cheap and (2) super simple to manufacture. When COVID-19 hit the U.S., people fled to many alternative means of safety, and I mean VERY alternative means, as you can see below: So, before you click “buy” on that Israeli gas mask you saw on eBay, let’s look at your other options… TABLE OF CONTENTSĪre the GP-5 and GP-7 a Health Hazard or a Safety Net? Of course, it’s at your own discretion to buy these products, but in this article we discuss the origin of these surplus gas masks, why they’re such a concern, the reason they’ve become so popular and why the more modern alternatives are not only safer, but guaranteed to be safer. These masks are likely to be outdated, unreliable and unsafe. (Image source: Courtesy of JustOneSuitcase)Īs mentioned in our Definitive Gas Mask Buyer’s Guide, there are several types of surplus gas masks still on the market today that are best avoided. |
