![]() To the front of the eye, this could cause photokeratitis, which is akin to a sunburn on the cornea. Q: Why shouldn’t you look directly at the sun during the eclipse?Ī: Excess UV radiation from the sun can damage the eyes. Specifically, there should be clear labeling on the viewer that says ISO 12312-2. The viewers must be in compliance with the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization to be considered safe. ![]() This applies not only during an eclipse it is NEVER safe to look directly at the sun without proper filters.Įclipse viewers have special filters that blocks out the harmful levels of light and radiation from the sun and allow only a small fraction of that through the filter - limited solar ultraviolet A and B radiation to a maximum of 0.0032%, and solar infrared radiation to a maximum of 3%. The American Astronomical Society has more instructions on their website if you’re interested in a “do-it-yourself” project that could be fun for the family.ĭirect viewing means you’d look directly at the sun, and the only safe way to do this is through an eclipse viewer. There are other ways to create a pinhole projector or a sun funnel to view the eclipse indirectly. As the eclipse occurs, you’ll see the projected image of the sun going from round to a crescent shape. One easy way is to form a waffle pattern with your fingers, with your back toward the sun the small holes between your fingers form a pinhole effect, and that projects an image of the sun on the ground. Question: How can I protect my eyes during the eclipse? How can I safely watch it?Īnswer: The best way to protect your eyes is to either view the eclipse indirectly using a pinhole projector, or to view it directly with an eclipse viewer.įor indirect viewing, do not look at the sun, but instead look at a projection of the sun or a shadow of the eclipse. Hin Cheung, a clinical assistant professor at the Indiana University School of Optometry, explains how to prepare to view both eclipses safely. The path of totality includes Indiana University campuses in Bloomington, Columbus, Kokomo, Indianapolis and Richmond.ĭr. On April 8, cities in 13 states will experience a total solar eclipse.

![]() Like the one above, it glows green when the door is unlocked and red when unlocked. ![]() This part also doubles up as the indicator. ![]() August’s backlit logo breaks the otherwise the lock’s plain look at the bottom. And well, it also helps in uplifting the looks of the lock. It’s worth noting that the lock’s sides have subtle ridges that help in a better grip. All you need to do is turn it left to unlock and right to lock. Unlike the one above, there’s no concept of a keypad or fingerprint reader. It’s small and compact and measures just about 3.4 x 2.22 x 3.4 inches. Though it’s a small device it needs a continuous power supply, meaning that one of your power outlets near your front door will be occupied by the bridge.Īs opposed to the sci-fi looks of the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro, the August Smart Lock Pro bundles a simple look and looks much like any knob out there. The Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro is not an independent device and needs a bridge to connect to your home Wi-Fi. During their test, the folks at Tech Hive had some difficulty in mounting the lock to the door frame. The installation process is easy though it requires a bit of patience and knowledge of house tools to get it assembled. At the same time, the reader is a 360-degree reader that reads registered fingerprints with ease regardless of the placement. The good thing about the Ultraloq’s smart lock is that the keys are easy and soft to press. Apart from the turn knob, it bundles a fingerprint reader, making it easy and simple to unlock the door. You can see the compact nature in the interior escutcheon as well. Here, the faceplate slides down to reveal the keyhole. The small escutcheon also bundles a physical key slot, should you be more comfortable using a key. And as you may have guessed, it glows red when you punch in the wrong PIN or when the fingerprint is not registered. And guess what, the fingerprint reader is surrounded by a LED strip, which glows green to allow entry. The exterior escutcheon looks out of s sci-fi movie (okay, I may have exaggerated things a little) and bears a fingerprint scanner as well as several keys to punch in the PINs. The Ultraloq’s U-Bolt Pro measures just around 2.95 x 2.95 x 1.22 inches and fits over most standard doors.
Appearance ĭuring the development of XIA YU YAO's UTAU voicebanks, it was noted that the design was meant to be based on the voice. In Japanese, her kana spelling is "シャ・ユーヤオ". Her logo and references to her Synthesizer V voice database used "YAO" or "YAO AI". Her full name was usually stylized as "XIA YU YAO" or "Xia Yu Yao", however, "Xia Yuyao" is another official way to write her name. Thus, her name could be read as "to spread the passionate, summer-like voice further". "Xia" was chosen with hopes that the sound can be as energetic as summer while "Yu Yao" was chosen with hopes that the sound would be widespread. Combined, it refers to her carrying her voice from a very far distance closer to people's ears.Īccording to an article written on November 8, 2014, XIA YU YAO's name was specially chosen so that it could be written the same for Chinese and Japanese. Her given name is formed by two characters: " Yu" ( 語 Yǔ), which means "to speak", "words", or "language", and " Yao" ( 遙 Yáo), which means "distant" and "far away". ![]() Her surname, " Xia" ( 夏 Xià), means "summer". Her age was changed to 18 on June 22, 2016. When YU YAO was first introduced, she was noted to be 17 years old. After passing her ability test, her instructor asked her to leave and explore the world to train herself, broaden her horizons, and find other people with special abilities, hence the start of her own series of adventures. According to later lore when UTAUs OSCAR and JOAN were released in August 2016, it was noted that YU YAO's singing can attract people with special abilities similar to her own. She was noted to have a "WIND" attribute, meaning that once the magic was integrated into her voice, it would cleanse people's hearts and make bad emotions drift away into the wind, comforting sad people and bringing them hope. She enjoys taking care of others and making them feel warm. According to her character page, XIA YU YAO is a gentle, caring, and empathetic person who has confidence in her own voice. ![]() You might lose interest in things you once loved because they become sources of stress, not joy. Over time, this pressure might lead to anxiety or stress. The fear of failure creeps in because you believe you’re supposed to be the ‘gifted’ one. You feel the need to be perfect all the time. People start expecting more from you, and soon, you start expecting more from yourself. Sounds great, right? But with that label comes a lot of pressure. You’re so good that you’re labeled as ‘gifted’. Imagine being a kid who’s really good at something, say math or music. Gifted kid syndrome refers to the struggles that kids, who are labeled as very smart or highly skilled at a young age, often go through. In this article, we’ll dig into what gifted kid burnout is, common misconceptions, and what we can do to help. Over time, this pressure can cause burnout, leaving you exhausted and losing interest in what was once loved. There’s this immense love for learning, but you also carry the weight of high expectations. It’s not simply a hashtag trend or meme material but is a problem many gifted kids face. As a gifted kid who later discovered I also have ADHD, I understand firsthand how difficult the journey can be.Īmong them, one issue is becoming increasingly evident – gifted kid burnout, and trust me, it’s real. It simply serves as a reminder of what I’m capable of when I work hard and happen to love what I do.We often hear about the benefits of being gifted, but the struggles are less talked about. After all, being gifted isn’t an accurate depiction of who I truly am. I don’t necessarily resent my past because it allowed me to discover my passion for writing, but now I know that experiencing true growth as a creative in the craft of my choice couldn’t have happened if I didn’t break free from this restrictive and one-dimensional label. As I leafed through its pages, I couldn’t help but laugh at how I had allowed this test to hold so much weight in my life, like my worth as a human being could be appraised in a 20-page report. ![]() In the process of putting this essay together, I inevitably came across a copy of the results and diagnosis from when I was 5 years old. “I’m not the best - I probably never was and never will be - and that’s OK.” I’m not the best - I probably never was and never will be - and that’s OK. But looking back, this process is what taught me to become receptive to feedback. There was always so much to revise and remove at the start, which was admittedly disheartening for someone who just wanted to get published. Sending my lifeblood out to editors far superior in terms of experience and eloquence meant I agreed to have my pieces scrutinized and corrected as necessary. Surrounded by the titles of some of the articles I’ve published. Seeing fellow former overachievers ditching hobbies they don’t immediately excel in or biting off more than they can chew was supposed to comfort me instead, it made me realize that I was living my worst nightmare - I was average. This self-sabotage associated with gifted child burnout is actually a popular phenomenon that has inspired numerous sociological studies and even TikTok videos. So when I failed, I sank into a period of stagnation and disillusionment, refusing to write anything outside of academic requirements. The crippling pressure to prove my worthiness was difficult to navigate because I never had to compete against anybody. Over time, I struggled to contribute to class discussions and produced subpar papers, which reflected in my mediocre first semester grade point average. I remember finishing a midterm exam for my Filipino literature class and expecting to get the highest score after penning a thoughtful essay likening the fable we just read to President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs, only to find out that every single classmate I spoke with wrote the same thing. Everything I wanted to say, or write, or do had already been executed better. That was until I slowly realized that it was impossible for me to come up with a single original thought in a class full of brilliant minds. “I grew up surrounded by people telling me that I was the best, so I believed it too.” ![]() I grew up surrounded by people telling me that I was the best, so I believed it too. In fact, as a kid, I would crumple the page I was writing on if I did so much as misspell a word or botch my own penmanship. I was used to nailing everything on the first try that to me, mistakes were unnatural and indicative of incompetence. Made to believe that I was a genius for most of my life, I do not take failures like this well. The first essay I submitted for English class was deemed “underdeveloped” and “lacking in focus” and had a big fat C on the top right corner. ![]() ![]() It's target points to an activation on top of the activation where the message was invoked from.

Use cases are often refined into one or more sequence diagrams. As sequence diagrams can be used to capture the interaction between objects in the context of a collaboration, one of the primary uses of sequence diagrams is in the transition from requirements expressed as use cases to the next and more formal level of refinement.

Numerous unusual diameters have been produced since the early 1900s ranging from 2 to 19.7 inches. In other areas, flexi discs were usually square and often included in a magazine (see Unusual materials and uses below). The 7-inch size was also used for flexi discs which were popular in Japan where they were known as sound-sheets and were often in traditional round format. Ten-inch children's records were made as well, but the 7-inch size was more compatible with small hands. In the late 1940s, small plastic records, including some small picture discs, replaced them. 7-inch children's records were sold before World War II, but nearly all were made of fragile shellac, not an ideal material for use by children. In Europe, early 10-inch and 12-inch shellac records were produced in the first three decades of the twentieth century. By 1910, other sizes were retired and nearly all discs were either 10-inch or 12-inch, although both sizes were normally a bit smaller than their official diameter. Early American shellac records were all 7-inch until 1901, when 10-inch records were introduced. The most common diameter sizes for gramophone records are 12-inch, 10-inch, and 7-inch.

Those injury question marks, plus the addition of Damian Lillard, have hurt Middleton's draft stock, but a bounce-back season could be in store. It was expected to be a minor surgery, but nothing is insignificant when going under the knife. We're not off to a good start, though, with Middleton undergoing knee surgery after Milwaukee's first-round playoff defeat.
