Covid deaths in us 2020 and 20213/2/2024 Year over year, however, Covid death rates declined among Hispanic, Black and Asian people. Meanwhile, suicide became the 10th leading cause of death last year, up from 12th the year prior.Ĭovid death rates in 2021 were highest among older Americans, men, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, and American Indian and Alaska Native populations, according to the CDC report. Coronavirus Symptoms Outbreak Reporting Wastewater Surveillance Data and Modeling Updates Archived COVID-19 Data. The US recorded 31.8 million new COVID-19 cases in 2021, up 59 from just under 20 million in 2020. An early analysis, which has not yet been peer reviewed, found that the country's life expectancy dropped even further in 2021, following a loss of around two years in 2020.Īlthough flu and pneumonia together ranked as the ninth leading cause of death in 2020, they dropped out of the top 10 in 2021. ![]() ![]() saw its highest overall age-adjusted death rate since 2003, with nearly 842 deaths per 100,000 people - a slight increase from 2020. The Covid tally also doesn't include 45,000 deaths for which the coronavirus was a contributing factor rather than an underlying cause. image icon COVID-19 became an official cause of death in 2020 rates for 2019 are not applicable.

String of hearts plant care guide3/2/2024 ![]() Keep the soil evenly moist for another week or so to encourage further root development, then begin to water the plant as normal. Once the roots are at least an inch or so long, you can plant the cutting in well-draining soil and water. Ensure the bare end remains submerged in water and the roots should emerge within a week or so. Give the cuttings enough bright indirect light and monitor the plant for evaporation. I like using test tubes to propagate and even made a test tube propagation station to keep things organized. Then place the bare end of the cutting into a small container of water. This is the same problem string of pearls plants have when propagating! Be really careful when removing the leaves the stems are so thin and fragile, and you don’t want to break them. Remove the bottom set of leaves so that the bottom few inches of the cutting are bare. The vine should be roughly 6 inches long with a few sets of leaves. Propagating string of hearts cuttings in water The first step to propagating cuttings is to take a good cutting from a healthy plant. Propagation can be done through cuttings in water, cuttings in soil, or through tuber/leaf propagation. Much like many other houseplants, string of hearts is fairly simple to propagate. Dry, crispy leaves? You don’t want to overwater this plant, but it does need some water! How to propagate string of hearts If your plant’s leaves are a faint green or are yellowing, you could be overwatering, not giving the plant enough light, or both. However, overwatering can lead to fungus gnats, and the plant can be host to the whole range of normal household pests. The string of hearts is fairly resistant to pests. A drainage hole in the bottom of the pot also helps-you don’t want your plant’s roots sitting in water! Here with its friend the string of turtles! Pests and problems Planting your string of hearts in a well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix helps to ensure that the soil doesn’t retain too much water. Soil and drainage are big parts of ensuring your string of hearts has an adequate amount of water. If you’ve got your string of hearts outdoors in higher heat, you’ll obviously need to water it more often. It doesn’t need much water at all through the winter. ![]() ![]() I’ve got mine indoors, so that means I water it once every 7-10 days in the summer, once every few weeks once things cool off. It’s best to let the soil dry out between waterings. This plant behaves a lot like succulents behave, so sparse watering is an essential part of string of hearts care. Extreme heat in the summer and cold in the winter can really hurt the leaves. Indoors, make sure you don’t let the foliage rest directly on window panes if you’ve got this plant in a windowsill. You definitely want to make sure your plant doesn’t get too much direct sun or else the foliage can burn. This spot also gets supplemental light from a hanging grow light I’ve got on the stand. That is the corner of the plant stand closest to the windows, and those windows get bright light in the afternoon well into the early evening. I’ve got mine on my tiered plant stand I made on the top tier, front-left corner. Enough light helps the string of hearts plant keep its deep green color. String of hearts plants enjoy bright indirect light. How much light does a string of hearts need? Since the stems are so thin, the leaves can easily “hook” onto one another, tangling the plant up. The stems are very thin and delicate, sprouting leaves every inch or so. These little leaves stay small, but the veining on each heart-shaped leaf helps to give it a more textured, dimensional look. It’s easy to think it is, though-the leaves do look quite succulent. As a houseplant, it typically can grown a few feet long. Many think it is a succulent, but it isn’t. String of hearts is a trailing succulent-like vine that doesn’t grow very tall but can trail well over 10 feet when grown in the right conditions outdoors. ![]() How large does a string of hearts plant grow? String of hearts is from South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. It’s a lovely little plant that is also sometimes referred to as rosary vine, hearts on a string, or chain of hearts. This plant is part of the ceropegia genus, woodii variety. Although it’s been around for a long time, houseplant lovers have recently discovered what an adorable little trailing vine it is. The string of hearts plant has become super popular in the last year, and for good reason. Ceropegia woodi is a trendy plant these days, but string of hearts care couldn’t be easier! Learn how to care for this cute little plant, as well as how to propagate it! String of hearts care: All about ceropegia woodii

Path Finder for mac download3/2/2024 Posted in Default Folder X, ForkLift, Path Finder, Ventura | No Comments » This works with ForkLift and Path Finder as well as the Finder. ![]() While in the file dialog, you can click on any open Finder window behind it, and the file dialog will switch to show the contents of that folder. * For those that don’t know, Default Folder X’s Finder-click feature is available in the Open and Save dialogs of any app. Like the ForkLift 4 icon on the folder in the screenshot above.Ĭhoose “Check for Update” from Default Folder X’s menu in your menu bar to get the update, or download it from the Default Folder X “What’s New” page. If you’re running ForkLift or Path Finder alongside the Finder, you’ll see an icon indicating which of those apps “owns” the window you’re currently hovering the mouse over. I’m sorry it took so long to get to the root of the problem, but honestly, it’s a pretty weird one.Īnd in other news, version 5.7.8 of Default Folder X also adds badged icons to the Finder-click interface. So – all you folks who restore files and folders from Time Machine on a regular basis, you can reliably use Finder-click without resorting to hidden settings in Default Folder X. Normally the Finder happily complies, but if an app asks that question after you’ve been browsing Time Machine backups, the Finder just says “nothing to see here!” Luckily, there’s another way to coax that info out of the Finder, so I’ve sidestepped the bug entirely while waiting for a fix from Apple (the bug is filed as FB12199998). Default Folder X uses the macOS Accessibility API to gather information from the Finder – it’s essentially a way to programmatically say “hey Finder, give me a list of your windows”. Hurray for smart, detail-oriented customers! □Īnd what an odd bug it was (and still is) – not in Default Folder X, but in the Finder. Then Andrea’s careful observation gave me a reliable way to make it happen, and I could finally test and debug a true fix. And people that reported it said it would come and go, so I couldn’t rely on them to test potential fixes either. I didn’t know how to reproduce the problem on a Mac here, so I never had a way to test locally. I tried numerous fixes based on the information I could collect from people that reported the issue (and discovered a few weird edge cases along the way), but the reports kept coming. ![]() I’ve been getting sporadic reports of Finder-click failing for quite a while, but was never able to isolate the cause of it.

Thus, it takes much more energy than just overcoming a larger ionic charge would suggest. And the element which has the lowest ionization energy is Caesium in 3.8939 eV. The first ionization energy refers to the energy it takes to remove one electron from an atom. The element which has the highest ionization energy is Helium with 24.58741 eV. P A: (a) First ionization energy of P > first ionization energy of I. which element of the following pairs has the higher first ionization energy and can you show me how you know O vs. Between Mg and Ca, the element with the higher first ionization energy is - 3. You can print the list of elements by hitting the print button below. Q: Choose the element with the higher first ionization energy in each pair.a. Between Kr and Br, the element with the higher first ionization energy is - 2. Why is it so much larger? Because the first two electrons are removed from the 3 s subshell, but the third electron has to be removed from the n = 2 shell (specifically, the 2 p subshell, which is lower in energy than the n = 3 shell). To list the elements order by ionization energy, click on the table headers. Based on trends in ionization energies across a row and down a column, identify the. Strategy: Locate the elements in the periodic table. Asked for: element with lowest first ionization energy. The first ionization energy for an element, X, is the energy required to form a cation with +1 charge: X(g) X+(g) +e IE1 (3.3.1) (3.3.1) X ( g) X + ( g) + e IE 1. ![]() ![]() The third IE, however, is over five times the previous one. Use their locations in the periodic table to predict which element has the lowest first ionization energy: Ca, K, Mg, Na, Rb, or Sr. ![]() Ca (Calcium) will have high ionization energy. The second IE is twice the first, which is not a surprise: the first IE involves removing an electron from a neutral atom, while the second one involves removing an electron from a positive ion. Question: Which of the following elements has the smallest first ionization energy A) S B) O C) Si D) Sr E) Cs.

Area of an isosceles triangle sides3/1/2024 So, if any one of the angles of an isosceles is known to us, then we can easily deduce the rest of the angles by using the angle sum property of the triangle.įor example, let the measure of the unequal angle of an Isosceles triangle be 80°. The unequal angle of a right isosceles triangle is always 90°. The third angle, also known as the apex angle, is unequal. The perpendicular line from the apex angle to the base divides the isosceles triangle into two congruent triangles, thus this perpendicular line is also known as its line of symmetry.Īs mentioned above, the angles opposite to the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal in measurement. ![]()

Classic lolita coords black3/1/2024 In the first place, its illicit nature will both shock the reader into paying attention and prevent sentimentally false sympathy from distorting his judgment. He has afflicted poor Humbert with a special and taboo variety for a couple of contradictory reasons. The author, that is, is writing about all lust. Humbert is every man who is driven by desire, wanting his Lolita so badly that it never occurs to him to consider her as a human being, or as anything but a dream-figment made flesh 3/4 which is the eternal and universal nature of passion. “I can only say that Humbert’s fate seems to me classically tragic, a most perfectly realized expression of the moral truth that Shakespeare summed up in the sonnet that begins, ‘The expense of spirit in a waste of shame/ Is lust in action’: right down to the detailed working out of Shakespeare’s adjectives, ‘perjur’d, murderous, bloody, full of blame.’ Humbert is the hero with the tragic flaw. Lolita stands up to it wonderfully well, though even its author has felt it necessary to contribute an epilogue on his intentions Is it shocking, is it pornographic, is it immoral? Is its reading to be undertaken not as a simple experience but as a conscious action which will place one on this, or that, side of a critical dividing line? What does the Watch and Ward Society say of it? What does Sartre, Graham Greene or Partisan Review? I mention this personal reaction only because Lolita is one of those occasional books which arrive swishing behind them a long tail of opinion and reputation which can knock the unwary reader off his feet. ![]() (This was the abbreviated version published in the Anchor Review last year.) The second time I read it, uncut, I thought it was one of the saddest. “The first time I read Lolita I thought it was one of the funniest books I’d ever come on. Writing in the Spectator, Lucky Jim author and angry young man of mid-century British letters Kingsley Amis called it “bad as a work of art, and morally bad…a Charles Atlas muscle-man of language as opposed to the healthy and useful adult.”įor the most part, though, American critics saw the novel for what it was: a masterpiece. ![]() Lolita‘s place in the pantheon has been secure for decades now, but as you’ll see below, upon its initial release, some, like Prescott, were less than captivated by the monstrous machinations of Humbert Humbert. ![]() The shocking subject matter, gleefully punning unreliable narrator, and Nabokov’s spellbinding sentence-level prowess combined to create a book as repulsive as it was inviting-comic and horrific and utterly absorbing. A damning review from Orville Prescott in the New York Times (in which he famously called the novel “dull, dull, dull in a pretentious, florid and archly fatuous fashion”) failed to dampen the public’s enthusiasm. Lolita-the story of a verbose, middle-aged literature professor, sexually obsessed with pre-pubescent girls, and his perverse and destructive relationship with 12-year-old Dolores Haze-became a near-instant bestseller in the US, shifting over 100,000 copies in its first three weeks alone. ![]() Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the American publication of Vladimir Nabokov’s most controversial and iconic work.

Blender 2.79 grease pencil animation3/1/2024 ![]() But the workflow to facilitate their use for a 2D style purpose is still in construction although 2D animations can be delivered with 2.79. To resume, as a 3D animation software suite, Blender has already a lot of tools. Through compositing node editor, you can give any style you like to your render. These things can be distorted by many ways or just rotated around a pivot by a bone.īlender have several render engines supporting toon shaders and one NPR renderer called Freestyle to render 3D objects as stylized lines. Lines can be Grease Pencil, an UVtexture on a Mesh plane or Curves. But it will require using other tools than Grease Pencil, you will use same bones armature for 2D or 3D animation. But the reverse operation is only possible through addons and it is not supported, yet in 2.8 version.ĭoes Blender offer the same types of animation styles (cut-out, cel, etc…)? You can convert Grease Pencil Strokes to Meshes or Curves. So, actually, editing of Grease Pencil strokes is a weird thing in-between editing a mesh and editing a curve but the ability to sculpt strokes is a great sensation that allows to overtake lacks that you can feel in edit mode. Is grease pencil vector or raster based (or both)?īlender will render raster images of your Grease Pencil animation.īut inside blender, Grease Pencil strokes are made of points and segments like meshes without faces or curves without interpolated segments and control points handles. But it is the future and currently, the greasepencil-object should be regarded as an experimental work-in-progress. In 2.8, UI and workflow should be more fluent and designed with 2D animation using a 3D space in mind. So, basically, in 2.79, the workflow is specific to Blender related to the fact that a tool not thought for that task grew up. What is the general workflow like between either program, how different (or similar) are they? Grease Pencil will become a 3D object with modifiers and UI is completely redesigned by this change.Ĭurrently, a grease pencil block is a data of a window. Support of interpolation between drawn frames was only supported in 2.79.Īnd the progress will continue in future 2.8. ![]() In 2.78, layers and fills were improved with addition of color palettes and bones parenting. ![]() The tool was used to make annotation and draw some lines.ĭrawing experience was improved by adding brushes and sculpt mode in 2.77. 2D Animation with Grease Pencil is a relatively recent WIP.

GetContentPane().setBackground(Color.YELLOW) Īs in previous tutorials, the creation of a JPanel object. String month = Ī String “month” is declared and initiated to be passed to a Spinner object as argument. The tutorial uses an example to illustrate its functions and actions that can be associated with it.ĬODE BLOCK spinner Class import java.awt.* This is where this tutorial comes in handy. You may use the same line of code to create objects of these constructs, but making them function requires different methods of coding. ![]() If you follow previous tutorials, you will notice these Swing Constructs are created the same way, however, their functionalities differ. This tutorial is done in assumption that the user follows through previous tutorials and is familiar with the coding terms used therein, also, have basic Java programming knowledge. In this tutorial, we will create two classes Ĭlass 1: We will create three JSpinner objects to simulate the user entering Date of Birth details First object, the user enters day, second object user enters month and third object user enters year.Ĭlass 2: Contains main method for run instructions. JSpinner(SpinnerModel model)Ĭonstructs a complete spinner with pair of next/previous buttons and an editor for the SpinnerModel. Constructors in JSpinner JSpinner()Ĭonstructs a spinner with an Integer SpinnerNumberModel with initial value 0 and no minimum or maximum limits. The JSpinner's editor stays in sync with the model by listening for ChangeEvents. The editor is created by the JSpinner's constructor and can be changed with the editor property. SpinnerModel classes for some common types are provided: SpinnerListModel,SpinnerNumberModel, and SpinnerDateModel.Ī JSpinner has a single child component that's responsible for displaying and potentially changing the current element or value of the model, which is called the editor. The model can be specified as a constructor argument and changed with the model property. Although combo boxes provide similar functionality, spinners are sometimes preferred because they don't require a drop down list that can obscure important data.Ī JSpinner's sequence value is defined by its SpinnerModel. The user may also be allowed to type a (legal) value directly into the spinner. The keyboard up/down arrow keys also cycle through the elements. Spinners typically provide a pair of tiny arrow buttons for stepping through the elements of the sequence. The tutorial introduce another interesting construct JSpinnerĪ single line input field that lets the user select a number or an object value from an ordered sequence. This tutorial follows from previous tutorials, on the topic of Swing constructs in GUI beginning with ‘J’. An Integrated Development Environment(IDE) such as Eclipse or NetBeans is required to be installed on your computer.Java Software Development Kit(JDK) must be installed on your computer.A computer System is required for this tutorial. ![]()
