Impossible, and many measurements must be made at different sample orientations to Growing high quality single crystals is at best difficult and often Single-crystal measurements generally yield more information than other XRD techniques, but Individual peaks can sometimes be analyzed to determine details of crystallite sizes, as well as Spots give information on the crystal lattice symmetry and dimensions, while the intensities can beĪnalyzed to determine atomic positions within each unit cell. The resulting diffraction patterns can resemble the one shown to the right. Highest, with larger distances d corresponding to smaller scattering anglesīooks have been filled describing different specialized techniques! But here is a short glossary ofĪ high quality single crystal is grown and placed in different orientations in the x-ray beam. Real materials are more complicated, of course, but the general result holds that there is a relationshipīetween interparticle distances within the sample and the angles at which the scattered intensity is the Θ is half the scattering angle 2 θ shown above. ), λ is the wavelength of the x-ray beam, and For the simplest possible sample, consisting of sheets of charge separated by a distance d,Ĭonstructive interference (greater scattered intensity) is observed when By convention, the angle between the incoming and outgoing beam directions is calledĢθ. In its most simplified form, a generic X-ray scattering measurement is shown below.Ī beam of X-rays is directed towards a sample, and the scattered intensity is measured as a function Provides information about the internal structure on length scales from 0.1 to 100 nm. XRD produces a diffraction pattern, which does not superficially resemble the underlying structure, and (X-ray tomography isĪlso widely used in other fields such as materials science and metallurgy.) In contrast, the Structure inside the body or object (typically a length scales of a millimeter or above), making it an invaluable tool for doctors.

Patterns produced by soap bubbles, in which different colors are viewed in different directions. This is qualitatively similar to the colorful Resulting in a pattern of higher and lower intensities. When X-rays scatter from a substance with structure at that length scale, XRD relies on the fact that X-rays are a form of light, with wavelengths on the order of It works best for materials that are crystalline or partiallyĬrystalline (i.e., that have periodic structural order) but is also used to study non-crystalline materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a non-destructive technique for analyzing the structure of materials, primarilyĪt the atomic or molecular level.

I’ve worked 40+ hour weeks, felt the drudgery of doing the same thing, day after day, but knowing I had to do it for a retirement plan, a pension, medical benefits, a steady paycheck. I have not fully lived my life yet, mostly because I have not loved myself. I will especially regret not loving myself. I’ll regret those days I spent too afraid to reach out to others because I was afraid of rejection. If something happens to me from this injury - excuse my melodrama, but I’m making a point here - I will regret all the love I stifled because I was too closed off to let myself love others more fully. I may have tipped that proverbial cup - the one that held my grey matter together. There’s a fine line between taking risks to enjoy your life and ignoring medical advice. But if I’d permanently damaged my brain, I won’t get another brain. Was this last chance I had to ignore my doctor’s orders, engage in self-destructive activities, be in denial about my condition? Probably not. I see the people there, I know what my folks have gone through, and I know that dementia is some serious shit. They now live in a memory care community. My mom has Parkinson’s and my dad has Alzheimer’s disease. My aunt mentioned that back in the day (early 1960s), they wore soft helmets and tackled with their heads first.īoth of my parents also have dementia. What if I already have the beginnings of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy)? My uncle, who played football for Bowdoin College, died of CTE this year. I’ve tried to work, but any activity involving using my brain is very challenging. I’ve not been able to get much done since yesterday. And I know the more concussions you get, the more compromised your brain becomes. But I also know should have listened to my doctor. I’ve get migraines, so nausea and dizziness are not foreign to me. Since I fell surfing, I have felt nauseaus and dizzy. I felt the sincerity of that concern - for about half a day - then went back to normal activities. My doctor looked genuinely concerned when I told her about my head. Now I have ringing in my ears, I’m dizzy, and have a throbbing headache. I had some wipe-outs, most likely because my balance is off. I felt alright Sunday, though, so I surfed Monday. I was dizzy the rest of the day and night. I was told it was very dangerous to play soccer, surf, run, do all the things that make me happy. Last weekend I had to go to the emergency room because I hit my head and knocked myself out. What would they have done differently if they’d been given warning of their death even a week ago? Most of the 151,600 people who died today did not know that today was their last. What if you were told you had a year to live? A week? How would you live for that short amount of time? What would you do differently? It may be soon you don’t have much control over that.

In the meantime, I would be very appreciative if anyone here at targetdomain could provide me with substitute payment processors/merchants that work with CBD companies.īy way of introduction, I am Mark Schaefer, and I represent Nutritional Products International. I am yet to speak to another lawyer from a US law practice in The city of london to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. I have checked with a barrister from a Magic Circle law practice in London and they said that what PayPal is doing is totally not legal and inequitable as it ought to be applying an uniform standard to all firms. This has restricted my payment options and currently, I am greatly dependent on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. As a result of this restriction, I can no longer accept PayPal on my CBD-related website. It seems that PayPal is applying twos sets of rules to many different firms. I have looked into Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Major Health Retail store and if you take a good look, you will witness that they promote a comparatively comprehensive variety of CBD products, primarily CBD oil and they also happen to take PayPal as a settlement solution. We only provide advertising and marketing services to CBD firms. We do not offer CBD products like CBD oil. A Calendar month later on, PayPal has contacted use to claim that our account has been restricted and have asked us to remove PayPal as a payment method from our vape shop directory. I operate a vape store directory site and we have had a posting from a vape shop in the United States that also offers for sale CBD goods. System Requirements: Pentium III CPU, 128 MB RAM, 72 MB HDD, WindowsXP The addition of a fairly intelligent and scalable bot AI means you can get a good feel of the game before venturing in and potentialy embarassing yourself online. Like the rest of the game, the map design is entirely deathmatch-oriented, with random player spawning, equally dispersed item pick-ups, multiple choke points, criss-crossing architecture that makes it possible to ambush other players or be ambushed yourself – all the works. The original game weighed in at only 19 MB and was bundled with only 5 maps, but years of updates raised the map count to an impressive 36. Map modes are typically deathmatch-oriented, so don’t expect Capture the Flag or CS-style bomb defusals. Unlike CS, however, you’ll also find health, armor and ammunition pick-ups scattered throughout the levels. Weapons have recoil, bullet spread and limited magazine capacities to worry about, and it won’t take more than a few rounds to drop another guy. There are several weapons on offer, ranging from your standard assault rifle, sub-gun, semi-auto rifles (in scoped and carbine versions), handguns and HE grenades. Gameplay is more or less a blend of Quake and Counter-Strike. What’s more, it’s also compatible with Max OS X and Linux. The game itself won’t turn any heads with fancy visuals, but for an installation that takes up less than 100 MB of hard-drive space, it looks great and runs even better. It’s essentially a Counter-Strike clone with a greater focus on deathmatch.

I know CP has made ways, such as, “ship” “duck” “shell” “Cod” etc. There is hardly ANY filter, so if you really want to curse you can always go space out the letters. I thought it was just the word “Club” since it could mean-other things, but Club went through fine. I tried saying Club Penguin, like this article said, and there it was, a little pop-up warning. The only panda related thing is your treehouse, which is surrounded by bamboo and forests, while you can never see any while your walking around town. I know pandas don’t have such a different habitat as penguins, but they could as least of tried. You can turn other pandas into chickens, you throw water balloons, (a lot like snowballs) and the places on the map, don’t look like bamboo forests at all. Club Penguin is perfect snowballs, always a penguin, snowy rooms. This “panda” site is always a little off-topic. Which can get very annoying after a while. Unlike CP, where there is every now and then a little puzzle or maze where you actually see your penguin waddling around with others trying to figure it out, (Like the last medieval party.) While Pandas actually do tasks. And while you look at the miraculous “Golden Panda” videos, the 3D is absolutely fine! I have looked at this site for a while, and the graphics haven’t even gotten a little sharper. You can’t say Club Penguin, so we Penguins-in-disguise find ways. Okay, I know CP has the jerks, but the people who are veterans on Panfu are SO protective of there site they will literally insult the crap out of you if you say “Penguin Cl ub is better”. There is only a few servers, and hopefully at least ONE of them is close to full. Also, Panfu has a serious lack of players. Okay, seriously, emo hair? They are badly drawn, and when you put them on your panda it looks NOTHING like it did in the picture. First of all, I tried it a few years ago, and it had “emo hair” in the catalog when non-members could even GLANCE at what was for sale. Yes, I agree it did copy Club Penguin, but its a whole lot crappier and not worth a dime. I found it, made an account, and looked around. I played Panfu because my buddies on CP told me to look it up. Many people in the Club Penguin forums have already e-mailed CP. I don’t know what Club Penguin can do about it. I don’t know where the fishing place in Panfu is. You use a red helicopter and instead of coins I think you get flying bananas. The ‘Jet Pack Game’ was copied and was called ‘Hubi’. You have to be a member to buy Bollys! And look at the cost!Īnd take a look at this! The game is so slow you can’t have any fun. The pets in Club Penguin were copied, too! Bollys they call them. I just put the background to make it look better. Then it will let you play the game again. It will show a panda doing jumping jacks for 20 seconds then squats then more jumping jacks. “you have been playing for 30 minutes, now stand up and exercise” After playing 30 minutes in Panfu something will come out: But I will continue showing you what they copied in Club Penguin. Besides Club Penguin, they have also copied some other games. They want you to think they’re the only game in the internet. If you say ‘Club Penguin’ or any other game you will get banned. He typed in our computer because he told that to me when he went to my house. He said he thinks he knew why Club Penguin updated last year, remember? I asked him why. There’s this game called Panfu my friend whose name in CP is AlienJMJ(He’s my friend not only CP but for real). Hey ATM Pandanda looks nothing like CP and it has better graphics than Panfu. Share your opinion in the debate!ĪTM Edit: Theres another games like CP too. Aan10 Edit~ Hey, I just wanted to bring this topic back up, because I think it’s interesting and I never saw it before, so most of you guys probably haven’t either.

I thought I was exaggerating when I said his father told him he was allergic to hard work, but this.I don't even know. I can't think of a cohesive response to this question. I mean, how are you going to win the graveyard vote if you don't appeal to the demographic? The only fear nobles possess is the fear that their income may one day fold in on itself. Maybe if you'd paid me with money rather than candy I could afford to quit school and work here full-time. Ken explains that Hiyoko has to go back to school and get studying again. Rabu's frequenting the cafe as usual today. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world of culinary possibility. You've shown me that teacups can be for more than tea. I'm still not sure exactly how much she's been paid, if she's getting paid anything. Today is the last day of Hiyoko's job at Cafe Torimi. Now I need to figure out how a budgie can ride a limousine, too.Ĭareful is definitely one word I can use to describe Azami. Y'know, I had enough trouble figuring out how a sparrow could ride a scooter. He would nap, but time spent sleeping is time he could spend drinking soup out of teacups. Hiyoko wonders to herself what Rabu's actual job is. Not sure why you'd serve it in a teacup, though. Hiyoko helps herself to some tonjiru - basically a pork and vegetable soup with miso. There's something very quaint and personal about how he runs the business that I'm very fond of.Ĭlosing time hits soon afterward, and Hiyoko and Ken clean up shop. Ken comes out to give his biggest customer a fond farewell. I'm sorry, I don't accept dead animals as. Rabu heads home after spending most of his day in the cafe, but calls out to Hiyoko on his way out. Hearing that analogy from a bird feels slightly off. It shall serve as a trophy of this encounter, a sign that I brushed shoulders with the commoners and lived to tell the tale. I'm sure embarrassing my boyfriend in public will only further his affection for me. (I am so in.)Ĭonsidering it's only been held twice since then, I'm not exactly filled with confidence. The sheer hustle and bustle of the festival is enough to bewilder Sakuya. What do you mean you don't want to go anymore? Imagine those big parties you throw every night, except everyone gets to come. Hiyoko: "Today's the festival! Let's go together!" Next time a friend asks me to come out for a drink over the weekend, I intend to respond with this. We have to settle for calling out Sakuya instead. As much as I'd like to build on Hiyoko's girlcrush on Azami, the game doesn't give an option for that. Where will the twists and turns of love take her next? In between courting him Hiyoko has taken a part-time job at a local cafe, and had more than a few run-ins with the mysterious scooter-driver Azami. Sakuya is a racist, lazy, insulting, offensive pigeon, but he's rich and therefore we love him to bits. Then they said to him, “Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamity struck us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?” He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord God of heaven who made the sea and the dry land.” Then the men became extremely frightened and they said to him, “How could you do this?” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. With bewildered and anxious faces, the pagan sailors looked to Jonah for an explanation. This storm, in fact, had been sent by the Lord both to chastise him for his flagrant disobedience and to halt him from running farther away. When the crew cast lots to find who was to blame for angering the gods, Jonah was singled out and his suspicions were confirmed-he was God’s target in the tempest. Once awake, however, Jonah soon found himself in even greater danger. It was only the ship’s captain waking him that brought Jonah to conscious awareness of the chaos and deadly danger of the storm. The boat may have been tossing and turning, but, incredibly, Jonah was not. While the Gentile sailors frantically scurried about, bailing water and tossing any unnecessary cargo overboard, a seemingly oblivious Hebrew prophet was sound asleep in the hold of the ship. But the storm described in the first chapter of Jonah was different. Modern meteorology has documented the destructive power rogue waves, tropical cyclones, microbursts, and other weather phenomena that pose unique threats to ships at sea. The sea is no place to go for peace and quiet. |
