![]() It is only when someone knows differently that they can use the correct variation for a particular database or website. Why? With almost everyone I observed at the reference desk–both patrons and the other librarians on duty–one normally defaults to using the lower case due to typing simplicity (usually, lower case does work in popular databases). However, most of the time these variations, when they occur, are not obvious and cause searches to be hampered because the operators will not work properly. Occasionally, you can find them in a sidebar on the advanced search menu. These variations can usually be located under the “Help” menu. Some might even recognize multiple variants. Still others might use symbols instead of words (ex. Others use upper case letters (the original version of Boolean was all upper case). Some require the letters all be lower case. What the non-librarians may not know is that databases sometimes vary how Boolean operators are used. These skills are not only useful when locating data, but are often the first information literacy skills taught to patrons, especially in K-12 schools and higher education. While not Boolean, enclosing phrases in quotations marks (” “) means the searcher is looking for an exact phrase instead of those two words anywhere in the document. Just to recap, “AND” combines terms to limit a search (ex. ![]() Knowing how to use “AND,” “OR,” and “NOT” are keys to searching digital data. Every librarian knows their Boolean Operators.

The straight sections are those in which the drilling hole curvature is ideally zero. The straight lines are referred as tangents. The designed drilling profile consists of a series of straight lines and curves. Curvature requirements are dependent on the site’s geometry (crossing length, required depth to provide safe cover, staging site location, etc.), but the degree of curvature is limited by the bending radius of the drill rod and the minimum elastic bending radius of the pipe. Higher tensile stresses reduce the pipe’s collapse resistance. The capstan effect is the increase in frictional drag while pulling a pipe around a curve due to a component of the pulling force acting normal to the curvature. Small radius of curvature induces bending stresses and increases the pullback load due to the capstan effect. One of the key considerations in the design of the drill-path is creating as large a radius of curvature as possible within the limits of the right-of-way. ![]() Although these are good general rules, the number, depth, and location of boreholes are best determined by the engineer. A thumb rule is to take borings at least 10m to either side of bore path. The borings should be near the drill-path to give accurate soil data, but sufficiently far from the borehole to avoid pressurized mud from following natural ground fissures and rupturing to the ground surface through the soil-test bore hole. For short crossings (which are less than 300 m length), as few as three bore logs may be sufficient. For big crossings, bore logs are typically taken at 200 m intervals. Soil strata investigation is performed by analyzing the soil sample extracted from bore-holes drilled along the pipeline route - called bore log data. Soil identification is done to locate rock, rock inclusions, gravelly soils, loose deposits, hard morum, boulders, brittle rock, black laterite, pebble stones, mountain blend, fast stak and bluff stones, etc. Soil Samplings Investigations during pedological survey The geo-tech information governs the determination of best crossing route, along with selection of drilling tools and execution methodology. If the strata becomes very hard (>90 MPA) then one has to use the rock cutting tools accordingly - like Mud Motor, Air Hammer, ARMOR etc. The purpose of soil testing is not only to determine the feasibility of HDD crossing, but also to establish the most efficient way to accomplish it. Selection of drill bit depends on the type of soil strata.
You don’t need us to tell you what to do here now, do you? Fusion Recommendations Yes that’s right, Thoth comes with the ability to more than double the power of your next magical attack, and comes equipped with an Almighty AOE attack. It becomes available around the fourth palace section of the game, and immediately catches your eye by displaying an incredibly high Magic statistic… Ok so it’s the spell it learns at level 37 – Megido – that you’re looking at really, but we’re pleased to report that it actually has some other benefits, chief among which is the Concentrate ability. Fuse with Regent to get the strong Gun and Support based Persona, White Rider.įull disclosure here: Thoth is one of our favourite Persona in the whole of Persona 5 Royal.Fuse with Orobas to get Kaiwan, a strong Psy based Persona.A party of three physical attackers and Joker casting these buffs can deal an insane amount of damage in the mid game. Both of these combine to make your whole team into physical damage behemoths. Thirdly, and by far the most importantly, it comes with a tremendous selection of buff and debuff skills: Get it to level 35 and you’ll gain access to both Marakunda and Matarukaja, which debuff all of your enemies defence and buffs all of your parties attack respectively. Second to this is it’s trait, which halves the cost of Nuke skills – again just a nice thing. Firstly, it comes with a strong single target Nuke attack, and whilst a certain new party member comes with this already, it’s never a bad thing to have choice. There are a great many reasons why Ara Mitama is a fantastic mid game Persona. Fuse with Regent to get our final choice in this list, the Power Persona.Fuse with Pixie to get Anubis, a strong Bess and Curse AOE Persona that has no inherent weakness.Fuse with a Mandrake to get the Legion Persona, a fan favourite with plenty of ailments.Principality will last a few palaces for sure, and we’d recommend passing some of it’s skills on if you can. Keen eyed readers will note the weakness to Curse attacks of course, but we’d argue that these really don’t become too relevant until the fifth palace or so, by which time you’re likely to have moved on. Keep it around for a bit and you’ll also gain access to a powerful group heal, and even Bless Boost at level 34, which increases the damage of your Bless attacks by 25%, bonus! Out of the box it comes with a strong AOE Bless attack, whilst also coming with the Blessed Bloodline trait, halving the cost of these spells. ![]() Towards the mid game, the Bless spell category will really start to become active, and there are no better options than the Principality Persona to take advantage of this. Fuse it with a Hua Po to get the fan favourite Persona, Legion.Fuse with the level 10 rare Persona, Regent, to get one of our next choices, Ara Matama. ![]() Regenerate 1 is a nice little bonus too, albeit a little superfluous. Vajra Blast is a strong AOE attack that demolishes random battles, and given a few levels will see you learn Sledgehammer for single targets. This is mainly due to two things fantastic physical statistics and a great selection of skills. There are earlier examples of strong physical Persona, but for us Kin-Ki is the first with which a physical damage Joker truly arrives. That being the case, why not get Joker in on the action? His main role up to this point has been plugging the spell weakness holes that your team is missing, but with attack up buffs and new equipment available, surely it’s his turn to shine? Towards the end of the second palace, which we consider the end of the ‘early game’ portion of P5R, you’ll start to note just how powerful physical attacks can be. Hopefully we can help to guide you through this turbulent portion of Persona 5 Royal! more in this series Today we’ll be writing about some of our favourite choices that helped us through the third, fourth and fifth palace. You’ll be bending and moulding Joker into various shapes to fit the current requirement, and the amount of choices of offer can be deafening. Your Persona choices in the mid game are absolutely critical then. Adapting Joker becomes a more and more complex affair. As the game progresses however, things tend to get a little more complicated, thanks to even more party members, new spell types and a rising prominence of buffs and debuffs. ![]() The early portion of the game is quite easy: You get some party members and adapt Joker to plug any holes depending on your team of choice – nothing too difficult there. Tackling the mid game of Persona 5 Royal can be a tricky proposition. The coming age secrets like what the Tuck family has would be harder to keep.Īnd the Tucks have a secret well worth keeping. One of the things that I liked about Tuck Everlasting is that it conceded that in I strongly recommend this movie to people of all ages. I told my cousin the end of the movie and she said it was a terrible ending. (I know I said 'no spoilers', so I'll be as discreet as I can.) Don't let the ending disappoint you. In the movie, TMITYS is presented as a villain, and we find out more about what he wants and how he knows about the Tucks. All we know is that he wants to find the Tucks and their spring. He doesn't even seem to be a villain until later in the book. He has no superpowers, but his mere presence can send super humans (immortals) running for cover. TMITYS is a great villain in the same league as Lex Luthor. Ben Kingsley plays the Man in the Yellow Suit (TMITYS). Sissy Spacek was great as Mae Tuck, showing her character's motherly side toward Winnie. William Hurt didn't strike me as someone old and wise, but he portrays Angus Tuck very well. Like Rory on Gilmore Girls, Winnie is very serious, but wants to have fun. (Sorry, no spoilers) It was a good change. In the movie, he's extremely bitter because of what happened to him due to his immortality. For example, in the book, Miles is a mild mannered person. There were a few changes that surprised me. The movie stuck pretty close to the book, right down to several quotes taken from the book. I will start by saying that I have read the book and it is one of my all-time favorites. If you can forget the flaws, forget the question you might have, you must be able to fully enjoy this. All this together with a very nice score and some beautiful images make this a very good movie. This and three other respectable actors like Hurt, Spacek and Kingsley make sure the movie does not fail on that level. Jonathan Jackson, who I only know from a small part in 'Insomnia', is a good choice for Jesse. Although you sometimes see the Rory Gilmore of 'The Gilmore Girls' Bledel does a nice job with her Winnie Foster. They are sweet together, have some nice scenes. Another reason you don't want to ask questions is Alexis Bledel together with Jonathan Jackson. Although that is not a good thing in most movies it works perfectly here. It does not really focus on the reason of immortality, it does not really focus on the relationship between Jesse and Winnie and it does not really focus on the outsiders like Winnie's parents and the Kingsley-character. First of all it is a good thing the movie keeps the attention in the middle of everything. There a couple of reasons we don't really want to ask too many questions. You can probably understand how many flaws a movie like this must have. He knows how the Tucks have found their immortality and has plans for himself. A man in a yellow suit (Ben Kingsley) is actually looking for the Tuck family but thinks he will find the girl with them as well. In the mean while we have Winnie's parents (played by Amy Irving and Victor Garber) looking for her. Winnie becomes a new member of the family. Although at first the family thinks Winnie needs to be killed, things change when Jesse Tuck and Winnie start to have feeling for one another. The young teenager who is taken by the family so she can not reveal their secret is Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel). The immortal family exists out of father Angus Tuck (William Hurt), mother Mae (Sissy Spacek) and two sons named Miles (Scott Bairstow) and Jesse (Jonathan Jackson). The story about an immortal family and a young teenager that comes into their lives is probably a well known story for some audiences, but I didn't know it. You could ask question after question but I did not find a reason to do so. 'Tuck Everlasting' is one of those sweet movies with a lot of flaws you don't care about. This failed at the box office but it really should be rediscovered. This is beautiful-well-directed and acted with a sweeping music score. ![]() And Elisabeth Shue narrates and does an excellent job. But Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Amy Irving and Scott Bairstrow also turn in very good acting. This is also a rare film where virtually every performance is good-especially Bledel and Jackson. They don't overdo the sentimentality (as they could have) and make the story quite moving and engrossing. Disney made a quiet, beautiful, charming fantasy film. ![]() I never saw the 1980 version of this and when I heard Disney was going to redo it I expected the worst. I love it! I thought it was just incredible. I read this book in college as part of a Children's Literature class. The problem is that he's part of a family that are immortal. A young rich girl (Alexis Bledel) in the early 1990s, meets and falls in love with Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson). The letter E keyboard shortcut will not work for any of the other create vector tools. So that is the quick keyboard shortcut to edit objects.īut keep in mind, that only works for the first row of closed vectors. And there we go, it updated on the screen. And let's say we change the size to five inches. And then once again, we can right click to exit the tool and you can even select another shape like the circle, click the letter E.Īnd that will edit this object. Let's say we did a radius external and let's say we did 0.5 and click apply.Īnd you can see whatever we change in this form is going to update onto that rectangle that we selected. And then in here, you can either change the location, the corner type or the size within this form. When you click the letter E, it will open up the draw rectangle tool. But instead of looking for the tool in the panel, you can just select the rectangle and click the letter E for edit. ![]() And to do that, you can either select the rectangle and go in your drawing tab and look for the create rectangle tool. We either wanted to change the size or change how the corners look. And you can see, for instance, let's say if this rectangle. Now, the next keyboard shortcut I'm going to show you is how to quickly edit objects that you already have drawn. So that is the keyboard shortcut to quickly open your last used create vector tool. And then if you wanted to get quickly back to that tool, just click spacebar again and you can go right back into drawing some more curves. Do any other kind of edits you needed to do to something. So you could see if we were drawing a curve, I could draw a curve on the screen. It's also helpful for the draw line and arc and curved tools. So those are just some quick ways to get back to your last used tool. Right click and spacebar, and you can draw another rectangle. But you could see if we draw an ellipse, right click to close.Ĭlick spacebar, that will now open the ellipse tool again and you can draw another one. It does not work for the text tools, however. And the spacebar keyboard shortcut works for all the first two rows and the last row of create vector tools. And you can see we can draw another circle and then you can either right click to close it or click the close on If you want to quickly open that create circle tool again, instead of going back and clicking on that, you can just click the spacebar on your keyboard and that will open that tool up again. So we can see if we go to draw circle and we just create a circle and then click close. ![]() And for this lesson, we're going to be focusing on the create vector tools. 'υ' (Upsilon) press 'u' and then shortcut.Hey everyone, in today's quick tip, we're going to show you some keyboard shortcuts to quickly edit objects and quickly open last used tools.

![]() Still, genetic studies show that they evolved from platypus-like ancestors tens of millions of years ago, as Helgen explains. (Photo : Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)Įchidnas are only two million years old in the Australian fossil record. These fossilized monotremes, the earliest of their type, have only been discovered in southeast Australia, probably because they were so specialized to their polar niche that they couldn't have survived anyplace else.Īnother exciting discovery, according to Helgen, is the possible migration of echidnas from New Guinea to Australia.Īlso Read: Prehistoric Eagle: One of the OLDEST RAPTOR Species Found in South Australia Echidnas ![]() "Imagine it dipping its snout into moss and snow in search of food it can't see and hasn't touched yet." most likely had an electrosensitive mechanism for feeding on insects in the seasonally dark Early Cretaceous arctic woods," says Flannery, a well-known paleontologist who is credited with the discovery of more than 30 mammal species.Īccording to Flannery, this is a remarkable survival adaption for this small monotreme, which estimates its body mass to be at 40g - about the same as a slice of bread. Surprisingly, this chilly northern terrain nevertheless retained woods that could withstand at least three months of freezing darkness each year. While their young may be a bit easier to carry than that 200-pound baby elephant, platypus moms still deserve a round of applause for their nesting, dancing, and motherly instincts!īy Julia Tilford, contributor for Ripleys.According to the researchers, the oldest known monotreme, Teinolophos trusleri, lived 130 million years ago when south-eastern Australia was near the South Pole. They are considered fully grown at about a year old. After this, the babies are ready to leave their burrow and start looking for their own food. Nourished by their mother’s milk, the puggles will increase in weight by a factor of twenty over the first four months of their lives. Rather than having teats like most female mammals, the platypus instead oozes milk out of mammary glands under their skin like sweat. However, even the way they do that is weird. Usually it’s one or the other-many reptiles lay eggs, but do not produce milk and mammals produce milk, but (usually) do not lay eggs. Platypus moms are extra special in that they both lay eggs and produce milk. Baby platypuses, or puggles, require extra help from their mothers in order to grow. They also aren’t much bigger than jelly beans! Their tiny size is due to the lack of nourishment in the eggs themselves. When platypuses hatch, they are blind, deaf, and hairless-in other words, completely vulnerable. The incubation process can last six to ten days, depending on the individual platypus. To keep them warm, she creates a bit of a nest, curling around the eggs with her tail touching her bill. The female platypus typically lays two or three eggs. Not exactly father of the year, but we’re focusing on dear old mom today! At this point, the male platypus has moved on to find a new mate to “dance” with, maintaining no contact with the female, nor with the babies. Once the female is ready to lay her eggs, she will build a burrow in which to do so. This dance can happen up to six weeks before any mating actually occurs. An uninterested female will flee at the initial bite if she’s not ready to mate, but interested parties return the favor, biting onto the male’s tail as well.įrom here, the two participate in a bit of a courtship “dance.” They swim together, diving, and rolling through the water like a pair of synchronized swimmers. ![]() The male lets his potential mate know that he is interested by biting onto her tail. Wooing a female platypus can take quite a bit of time. ![]() However, their reckless fighting isn’t enough to win over a lady. Male platypuses use these spurs to fight one another for dominance during the mating season. The females’ spurs drop off as they grow, while the males’ spurs stay put and eventually become venomous. While all platypus babies are born with spurs on the back of their hind legs, they either use them or lose them as they mature. |
