Eddie aikau12/31/2023 The Aikau boys worked their way up the classic Hawaiian food chain, from the Wall to Queen's to Ala Moana to Haleiwa, borrowing the family truck for weekend North Shore runs.Īikau's first experience in bigger waves came through John Kelly and Sammy Lee, who took him out to big Sunset in early 1967. By the age of 16, Eddie - never a committed student - had left school and was working at the Dole pineapple cannery, earning enough money to buy his first real board - a big, thick Velzy. Eddie and younger brother Clyde made themselves boards from marine ply and began surfing the Waikiki Wall. By then, there were six kids, and he wanted to offer them better opportunities than he'd had on Maui. In 1959, the family moved to Honolulu on Oahu. Eddie learned to surf in the harbor shorebreak, which has since been dredged. On weekends, Sol would take the kids down to Kahului Harbor with his old redwood board. Sol worked as a truck driver for the Kahului Railroad Company, and the family lived in a dirt-road compound of 15 houses and fellow railroad workers. He came into a world of few material goods. Perhaps because he embodies the twin themes - the stoke and the tragedy - of Hawaiians, the people who gave surfing to the world and took so little in return.Įdward Ryan Aikau was born on Maui - the third child of Solomon and Henrietta Aikau. And his very life becomes a myth.Įddie Aikau is one. Every now and then, a surfer comes along who transcends the desires, dreams and expectations of others. There are surf stars and there are surf stars.

Positive and negative infinitesimals12/31/2023 So why is a negative zero valuable in computing? I'm sure I'm just missing something. The more mathematical resources I've been able to find state that there is no distinguishing between the two from a mathematical perspective, and the Wikipedia article seems to suggest that this is rarely seen outside of computing aside from describing limits. (Although, the particular example of the complex square roots looks flat out wrong, since the two numbers are mathematically equivalent, unless I have a misunderstanding.) But I have been unable to find a clear statement of the kind of trouble you would get into if it wasn't there. This answer lists a couple of functions that behave differently, and perhaps something could be inferred from the examples if you're familiar with how they might be used. Wikipedia's article on the concept isn't especially helpful it only makes vague claims about signed zero making certain mathematical operations simpler in floating point, if I understand correctly. I've never had the opportunity to write code involving complex numbers, so I'm a little baffled about why this would be the case. I vaguely recall reading claims that having a negative zero representation is extremely important in programming that involves complex numbers. I'm confused about why we care about different representations for positive and negative zero.

Shadwen mac steam12/31/2023 Be sure to take a look at it before the sale ends to keep yourself occupied until Overwatch comes out. Shadwen is available now for PC, Mac, Linux, and PS4 through their various outlets. This gives players the freedom to observe and plan their every step, trap, and kill. However, now time itself only moves when you do. Rewinding time to correct mistakes is still a major part of it. It brings the concept from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and takes it to the next level. While Steam is compatible with Mac, some games just dont work with Macs OS.This has become increasingly problematic for Mac users who want to play popular games like Among Us and Phasmophobia. The game also throws in a creative time mechanic. In the years since its inception, Steam has proved itself to be incredibly popular with computer gaming fans. The game includes a physics engine and conveniently provided structures for environment kills. Shadwen can hide in the shadows, distract guards, stage unfortunate accidents, and also craft items into useful tools. About This Game Streets of Rogue 2 is a procedurally generated open-world game about player choice, freedom, and anarchic fun. Familiar genre elements make their contractually obligated appearances. That gives us all plenty of time to explore its gritty, medieval streets before the next big game release.įocusing on stealth, gadgets, and moral choices, Shadwen follows the story of the titular assassin on her mission to kill the king. Thanks to a community event, the game typically retails at $16.99, but will be available on PC for $14.44 and PS4 for $15.26 until May 24. Shadwen, the stealth-action game by Finnish developer Frozenbyte, dropped today with a substantial discount.

Into the wilderness12/31/2023 Due to the Wilderness being a site of ancient battles, it is also a place where dragons reside. There are still many creatures wandering around in the Wilderness, like many species of giants and demons. They started wandering the Wilderness, attacking anything alive they would encounter, these spirits became known as the revenants.ĭuring the Fourth Age, there were many attempts to recolonise the Wilderness, none known to be particularly successful. Today, many ruins of the once mighty cities still remain in these lands, barely recognisable as the great cities they were but rather piles of bricks and spirits of the creatures who died during the God Wars who were forced to look after the Wilderness. The Wars ended, but the damage was done many races like the aviantese, icyene, ourgs, and wyrms were almost wiped out of existence, and all of Gielinor suffered from the effects of the wars, but not one kingdom suffered as heavily as Forinthry.įorinthry is today known as the Wilderness and is now nothing but a cursed wasteland feared by adventurers. Guthix went deep into the depths of Gielinor and wept, saddened by the effects the God Wars had had on the world that he had shaped and loved. Once awoken Guthix led his army to the scarred land of Forinthry to end the war, which led him to establish the Edicts of Guthix, which banned all gods from ever directly influencing Gielinor again. The massive destruction caused Guthix to awake from his long slumber. In the last years of the war Saradomin forged a temporary and fragile alliance with Armadyl and Bandos to defeat Zamorak, and in a following battle Zamorak brought destruction on the entire land by causing a massive explosion that swept across the continent turning it into the cursed wasteland today known as the Wilderness. Years later he returned to Gielinor with an army so big that he could conquer the world and declared war against all the other gods, starting the God Wars.ĭuring the God Wars, Forinthry was under constant attacks of Zamorak and Saradomin's armies and soon started to crumble, the fortresses were dominated and many of Zaros' remaining followers sided with Zamorak to not be his victims, and soon, the remaining settlements of Forinthry were destroyed with the exception of Ghorrock. After that Zamorak supposedly disappeared. When Zamorak got his hands on the Staff of Armadyl, he attacked Zaros' palace and after an intense battle, a large part of Zaros' powers were transferred via the staff to Zamorak, leading to his banishment. Those included (but were not limited to) the Elder Demon Thammaron, the vampyre Lord Drakan, the human warrior Viggora, and the Mahjarrat Zemouregal and Hazeel. Near the end of the second age, Zaros' Mahjarrat general Zamorak wanted to overthrow Zaros and was able to collect a group of followers. Forinthry formed a very big part of Zaros' mighty empire, which was the most powerful of Gielinor at that time, and stretched from northern Forinthry, through Asgarnia and Misthalin, to the north-east of Morytania. Many settlements were built, whose most powerful were Dareeyak, Carrallangar, Annakarl, and Ghorrock. Zaros, a god who entered Gielinor after Guthix entered his sleeping state at the end of the First Age, fully conquered this area during the Second Age. It was a lush and green land by the time Gielinor was discovered by Guthix.įorinthry was very rich in resources, and so a perfect place to build settlements. The area that is now the Wilderness was formerly known as Forinthry.

The vault jackson ms12/30/2023 The large worries of one day were suddenly insignificant on the next. The annual Blue and White game was scheduled for last Saturday night at Hughes Field. The team was supposed to reassemble on Tuesday of last week for the final days of spring practice. A series of tragedies had not only continued, but multiplied. In July 1989, the call was about running back Earl Eatman. Killed in a crash on his way home to Prichard, Ala. In March 1988, the telephone call was about defensive back Antonio Rogers. You think to yourself, well, they're on vacation.but, jeez, this is when the stuff happens." I have two grown children of my own, and I'm responsible for 95 football players. "I got the call at 3:35 on Monday morning," said Jackson State's football coach, W.C. What can be taken for granted? Not even tomorrow. Pictures of the victims are spread across the morning newspaper, and all of the bulletproof feelings of adolescence are challenged. Football is important.Īny fatal crash involving any number of kids is a shock to any undergraduate environment. Tradition is deep at Jackson State, the pro scouts arriving every year to weigh and measure and take two and three and four players to the big cities and the big noise. Willie and Gloster and Thomas Richardson. Harold Jackson caught passes Lem Barney defended against them. Walter Payton ran here before he was a Chicago Bear. He was a 250-pound linebacker.įootball is a large part of the soul of this predominantly black state school. Michael, 18, his friend from Whitehaven High in Memphis, was red shirted last year. Charles, 20, also coming off a red shirt freshman year, was a free-talking cornerback, expected to start. Casey, a red shirt freshman last season, had grown so large he was expected to take Darion's job next fall, creating a family succession at the position. His older brother, Darion, was last season's star, drafted on Sunday by the Atlanta Falcons as the second pick in the second round. Who didn't know Casey and Charles and Michael? Casey, 19, was a linebacker. Word of the crash was a somber greeting as students returned from their four-day weekend last Monday night. 'Wasn't that what I was thinking? Here it is. The young too often take media thoughts as truth. "You say something like that-'a curse against the Jackson State football team'-and it's almost like documentation to your deepest thoughts," says Dr. They said three young men were dead, and that there was a curse on the Jackson State football team. The news reports put the events into a convenient package. She stopped and looked inside and went screaming to Howard Hill, ran straight into Casey's parents' bedroom at 2:30 in the morning. Sharon recognized the white 1983 Ford Mustang that had crashed against the tree.

The general election ballot in Mississippi this year has the presidential race, one U.S. Those allow absentee voting by someone with a temporary or permanent disability that may include “a physician-imposed quarantine due to COVID-19” or by a person who is “caring for a dependent that is under a physician-imposed quarantine due to COVID-19.” Legislators tweaked the law this year with provisions that expire at the end of 2020. People who have to work on Election Day when polls are open also are allowed to vote absentee. Instead, state law says absentee voting is available to anyone 65 or older, or for voters of any age who are permanently disabled or will be out of their home county on Election Day. Mississippi does not allow widespread early voting. The process is similar at circuit clerks' offices around the state. Wallace said the ballots are stored in a locked vault next to his office. “That’s something we’re doing on a daily basis-a roll call of all the ballots that we have to make sure there’s nothing misplaced or nothing is out of place,” Wallace said. Hinds County Circuit Clerk Zack Wallace told WAPT-TV that completed ballots remain in sealed envelopes and are sorted by precinct. (AP) - An official in Mississippi's largest county says absentee ballots are kept in a locked vault after they are filled out and returned.

Types of knotes that hold spheres12/30/2023 And lots of breakthroughs in knot theory have come from researchers just thinking about it in their own unique way. Like, you don’t have to be great at calculus to get your head around the problem. Although things do get pretty complicated, thinking about the shape of knots is actually something you can do without always needing advanced math. Compared to some other branches of mathematics, like algebra and geometry, which have been studied for thousands of years, the math of knots is only a couple centuries old. But Kelvin’s imaginative suggestion did kick-start a new kind of thinking about knots, one that was rooted in mathematics rather than aesthetics. There is no ether, and atoms turned out to look nothing like knotted strings. Like, hydrogen would be one kind of tangle, oxygen would be another, and so on. Back in 1867, the scientist Lord Kelvin even suggested that the various chemical elements were actually different kinds of tiny knots suspended in the mysterious ether. When the two ends are joined, that’s another mathematical knot.īoth of these are simple examples, but there are lots of ways that knots can get more complicated. Your very own mathematical knot! Of course, you could save yourself the effort and go out and buy a pretzel. Throw away the box and you’re left with a continuous loop of string that’s entangled in the middle. Then take your two loose ends and fuse them together. To make a mathematical knot, imagine looping a string around a box, and tying a loose half knot across the top. The string can have crossings and intertwinings, but there can’t be any break. Unlike our shoelaces, or the rope hitching a boat to the dock, a mathematical knot has no loose ends. It’s worth mentioning at this point that a mathematician’s definition of a knot is probably different from what yours or mine is. That’s the goal of so-called knot theory, a relatively new branch of mathematics which-you guessed it-is all about the surprisingly complex study of knots. By understanding how knots really work, we can use them as a tool to explore some important problems in science today. Like, when you’re just trying to get your headphones out of your pocket, darn it.įortunately, knots are more than just wire-based mortal enemies. Of course, sometimes they are too everywhere. Today, knots are everywhere you look: in the ribbons around gifts, in the rope netting of children’s playgrounds, and all over traditional boats and ships.Īnd they can even be in some unexpected places too, like the ornately carved Celtic braids that decorate old buildings, and the cable ties keeping Mars rovers neat and tidy. And, about five hundred years ago, the Inca are believed to have used knotted ropes as a way of storing huge amounts of information. It turns out that that simple act has a surprisingly deep history.Įarly humans learned to tie knots before they invented the axe, or even the wheel. Tying our shoelaces is one of those lifelong skills we’re all proud to master as kids. Knot theory fundamentals and applications Looking for SciShow elsewhere on the internet?

Screw extractor for car12/30/2023 Once the snapped bolt is removed, it can be freed from the extractor using a pair of locking pliers, or a bench vice to spin the broken thread clockwise. music center 2022 schedule ryobi screw extractor cobia 240 cc for sale. The snapped bolt should start to come free with a little pressure. Car carrying three people in 20s crashed into stationary Tesla and ended up on. Thread the extractor anti-clockwise using a hand tap, adjustable spanner, sockets or locking pliers. The more pressure you apply anti-clockwise, the harder they bite in. Screw extractors feature opposite threads which are tapered, and lock into the drilled out bolt. Be careful not to hit the sides of the hole and ruin the thread, and only go deep enough to allow the extractor to bite. Start with a small drill bit, and work your way up to the correct size for your extractor bit. Choose an extractor from the kit as close to the bolt size as possible that won't ruin the thread on the sides and drill a hole in the centre of the snapped bolt. Start the job by marking the centre of the snapped bolt with a centre punch, so the drill bit doesn't walk. A worrying issue at first, but with help from a screw and bolt extractor set from Supercheap Auto, you'll have it fixed in no time. So you've snapped a bolt in the engine block. When youre undertaking some vehicle maintenance, its vital that youve got the right tools for the job.
