The entire mechanism is surrounded by a thick lead shield. A cool oil bath surrounding the envelope also absorbs heat. A motor rotates the anode to keep it from melting (the electron beam isn't always focused on the same area). The high-impact collisions involved in X-ray production generate a lot of heat. This "braking" action causes the electron to emit excess energy in the form of an X-ray photon. Like a comet whipping around the sun, the electron slows down and changes direction as it speeds past the atom. An atom's nucleus may attract a speeding electron just enough to alter its course. In the next section, we'll see how X-ray machines put this effect to work.įree electrons can also generate photons without hitting an atom. The calcium atoms that make up your bones are much larger, so they are better at absorbing X-ray photons. The soft tissue in your body is composed of smaller atoms, and so does not absorb X-ray photons particularly well. Smaller atoms, where the electron orbitals are separated by relatively low jumps in energy, are less likely to absorb X-ray photons. A larger atom is more likely to absorb an X-ray photon in this way, because larger atoms have greater energy differences between orbitals - the energy level more closely matches the energy of the photon. Some of the energy from the X-ray photon works to separate the electron from the atom, and the rest sends the electron flying through space. They can, however, knock an electron away from an atom altogether. X-ray photons also pass through most things, but for the opposite reason: They have too much energy. Radio waves don't have enough energy to move electrons between orbitals in larger atoms, so they pass through most stuff. The energy level of the photon fits with various energy differences between electron positions. The atoms that make up your body tissue absorb visible light photons very well. Immediately after discovering X-rays themselves, he had discovered their most beneficial application. Finally, he put his hand in front of the tube, and saw the silhouette of his bones projected onto the fluorescent screen. Roentgen placed various objects between the tube and the screen, and the screen still glowed. Roentgen assumed this would have blocked most of the radiation. This response in itself wasn't so surprising - fluorescent material normally glows in reaction to electromagnetic radiation - but Roentgen's tube was surrounded by heavy black cardboard. Roentgen noticed that a fluorescent screen in his lab started to glow when the electron beam was turned on. In 1895, a German physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen made the discovery while experimenting with electron beams in a gas discharge tube.

This X-ray is of the hands of Queen Mary and King George and was taken just a year after the monumental and accidental discovery of X-rays in 1895.

This report measuring the impact on global warming considers production through disposal and concludes that a cotton bag would have to be re-used 171 times to emit a similar level of global warming potential to re-using a plastic bag once. Surprisingly, this option has been attacked using a study showing that the manufacture of totes and their commensurate life span have a larger carbon footprint than using plastic bags. Kroger, the largest retail grocer in the United States now has signs in its parking lots reminding shoppers: “Did you remember your reusable bag?” Totes are used widely in Europe and are beginning to be encouraged by grocers in the United States. This is probably the best solution today and is being embraced by governments and conscientious consumers alike. Paper recycling is a widely available alternative. įurthermore, the production of a paper bag requires four times as much energy as it takes to manufacture a plastic bag and generates 70 percent more air pollutants and 50 times more water pollutants than plastic bags. įew municipal facilities are collecting compostable bags and the ones that end up in landfills emit an inordinate amount of methane in the natural decomposition process. Īs an example, the box for biobag food scrap bags offered for sale for home use by Wal-Mart, one of the largest retailers in the United States contains the following caveat: “Compostable – For use in municipal facilities where applicable. But this is not the perfect solution! As crop production demands new cropland, often clearing trees that would otherwise absorb carbon. And crop production at the industrial level is one of our largest environmental problems contributing to global warming as well as fertilizer and pesticide runoff in the water supply.įurthermore, this solution is proving infeasible as the decomposition requires very specific conditions of high temperature over an extended period of time at an industrial composting facility and this is simply not cost-efficient for the facilities that technically do not have this capacity. It sounds like a perfect eco-solution: plastic from plants, not petroleum. What can we do? – The solution to the plastic bag environmental crisisĪn alternative that has arisen in recent years is a “compostable” or bioplastic bag made from biodegradable materials such as starch, soy protein cellulose or lactic acid. These small pieces easily enter the food chain when animals accidentally ingest them. You have probably heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, one of five huge whirlpool currents of garbage in our oceans. Read our article about how plastic in the ocean is endangering sea turtles or watch this “mockumentary” narrated by Jeremy Irons. The plastic breaks into smaller and smaller pieces. Photodegradation happens when the sun’s ultraviolet rays strike plastic, over time making it brittle, breaking the binds holding its molecular chain together. These conditions do not exist in a landfill where many plastic bags end up. The plastic bags in a landfill will neither decompose or biodegrade. As far as we know, they will remain intact as plastic bags through eternity. This is not the same as decomposing. It simply means that the plastic will break into smaller and smaller pieces. It does not reabsorb or transform into the natural elements like carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that make up life on our planet. Given the right conditions and in some cases, a thousand years, plastic bags can photodegrade. Most of the one trillion plastic bags disposed of annually worldwide are not made of organic matter, but are made from a petroleum byproduct which microorganisms do not recognize as food. Do plastic bags ever decompose?ĭecomposition is a biological process where microorganisms fed on organic matter and eventually transform it into humus, a rich soil. Stressed plastic, even the low-level toxicity type required for use in plastic bags by grocers, releases chemicals that seriously alter the structure and function of human cells. Ingesting plastic can cause serious adverse health effects. Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) - open-source scanner API for Unix, Windows, OS/2.
Jessica Jonesĭirector and motion graphics designer Arisu Kashiwagi was lead designer on the title sequence for Marvel’s Jessica Jones, which, like the Anne with an E titles, uses paintings brought into the 3D space to convey something of the essence of the show’s protagonist.įor the initial concept design, Arisu and the team at Imaginary Forces sought to depict the nature of Jessica’s work as a private detective, sneaking around and peeping through the windows of Hell’s Kitchen. The result of this restraint, plus the presence of Brad Kunkle as art director, is a 3D sequence with beautiful movement and light that preserves the natural feel of the original works. We even rigged and animated our Anne character but found it no longer read as a painting, feeling digital and uncanny.” Yes, we could have had the camera move more dynamically throughout each scene – and we tried – but very quickly Brad’s perfectly composed scenes felt off, fighting against the overall authenticity and cohesiveness of the piece. “It was our CG teams’ ability to practise restraint that I am most proud of. There was a bit of digital painting needed to fill in portions of the paintings due to the addition of camera movement,” Williams explains. Once modelled, we then projected these painted elements onto them. “Our CG artist used Cinema 4D and Maya to sculpt geometry that matched the contours of the objects in Brad’s work. Brad Kunkle created additional paintings especially for the sequence and also served as art director, helping the team to ensure that his style was preserved. “We were always trying to find a balance between retaining the beauty of Brad’s artwork and introducing dimensionality, moving reflections and dynamic lighting through CG,” Williams tells us. The work of artist Brad Kunkle was selected for its depth and realism and also its use of gold and silver leaf, which creates interesting reflections. “Looking outside the standard pool of Photoshop artists in NYC, we wanted to find an authentic, handpainted style that would speak to the humanity of this character,” says Williams. For this sequence Williams sought to bring the natural texture of real paintings into the 3D space. Alan Williams worked as creative director on the title sequence for Anne with an E, a TV show based on the novel Anne of Green Gables about an imaginative girl who loves to immerse herself in nature.

Unlike Ukraine, Israel has one of the most advanced and well-resourced militaries in the world, and shares deep ties with American companies who produce military hardware. The differences between Ukraine and Israel mean they will restock at different speeds, making it difficult to predict if or when ammunition production falls short. The Pentagon is expected to announce another $150 million shipment of weapons to Kyiv this week that includes those 155mm shells, along with Patriot and other air defense missiles.Īrmy officials have committed to increasing the output of 155mm shells to 100,000 per month by 2025, up from about 14,000 per month at the start of this year. But those investments take time to bear fruit. arsenal continues to churn out munitions for allies and partners, and has pumped more money into the defense industry to increase production of items such as artillery shells and Patriot missiles. “We have not seen anything like that, and the scale is incredibly daunting, especially when you’re in those meetings and you talk about what we need to do to increase our artillery production.” “The scale is phenomenal when you look at the consumption of 155 rounds,” he told an Army conference last week. The sheer volume of munitions being fired in Ukraine alone has been a wake-up call for America’s defense community, according to Patrick Mason, a deputy assistant secretary of the Army. Department of Defense, leading to a problem of ‘empty bins.’” use of munitions would likely exceed the current stockpiles of the U.S. Ramping up to wartime levels means opening new production lines, signing contracts quickly and hiring more workers - a tall order for a country not actually at war. In January, Seth Jones, an analyst with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, released a study saying the Pentagon would quickly face some major weapons shortages if it were to fight a major power such as China due to the current peacetime-levels of production of precision weapons. can handle Ukraine and Israel at the same time, there is increasing skepticism about the base’s ability to keep up, especially when the Ukraine demand was already straining the system.Įxperts have warned that this problem is coming, if not already here. While Defense Department officials, including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, say the U.S. It’s not something the system is designed for but needs to change if we’re serious about supporting partners.” “We need to figure out how to put the defense industry on a wartime footing even if U.S. “There’s frustration on both sides as DoD and industry seem to be talking past each other,” Kirshner said. The idea is a reversal of the infamous “last supper” dinner meeting then-Defense Secretary Les Aspin held with defense contractors in 1993 warning them that big budget cuts were coming and urging them to consolidate. military warehouses, said Josh Kirshner, managing director at Beacon Global Strategies, a national security consulting firm. Given these competing priorities, it is past time for Pentagon leadership to have a “first supper” with industry leaders to speak frankly about what can be done to increase production to restock U.S. continues to ready itself for any potential clash with China. Those include 155mm artillery shells, along with air-launched small diameter bombs, joint direct attack munitions and Hellfire missiles, demands that will only grow as the two wars grind on and the U.S. While Ukraine is fighting a different type of war than Israel, there are weapons that both countries want from the U.S. Within a day of Hamas’ initial attack on Israel, the Biden administration told lawmakers that Israel desperately needed more interceptors for its Iron Dome air defense system, along with artillery shells and precision-guided munitions. “There has not been a time in the past 30 years where you essentially have had two real conflicts happening at the same time with a potential third one in three different regions of the world,” he said, referring to a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. The need to shuttle supplies for the Ukraine and Israeli wars is creating an “inflection point” for America’s defense industry, said Dak Hardwick, vice president of International Affairs at the Aerospace Industries Association, an industry trade group. Many of those same munitions are also key to American war plans in the Indo-Pacific and elsewhere and have been rushed to Ukraine over the past year. Israel has already used up more than 8,000 precision munitions, and with Hezbollah looming on its northern border and the war showing little sign of ending, the government is eager to restock. 1st day sorted the moves half on a rope, 2nd day refined some foot beta and climbed it in 2 overlapping pieces but fell a couple times going for the far right crimp, 3rd day was a known gamble without enough time to recover from day 2 and sure enough ran out of skin and energy after my 1st go as a high point. Whooo! 4 full days of work on this baddy. Gotta find the names of the problem in the corridor and the white face lines! The sit moves obviously go and will add some pump factor. Fantastic movement with crazy double toe-cam drop knees, amazing holds, immaculate stone and the only line on the boulder in a beautiful setting. Send of the original on : This problem is outstanding. I abhor slash grades but probably is legit 10/11, will give it 8A until someone gives it the downgrade -) It now feels complete and is unquestionably my all time favorite with a proper sit start, incredible sequence all by itself and a brilliant block. While not a tight weather window in general, was my last day off before a string of nights that would end in more precipitation. It never seemed to be the right time: how long does the slot take to stop seeping? When am I up for the hike? Am I in good enough shape? Pads? Came out with Kory, Jeremy x2 and Chill but only had enough energy to suss the rad bottom sequence. Half the holds seem to be facing the wrong direction, on an at-first-glance impossibly steep angle, yet the trickery makes it work. Since then, it lingered as a side note in the back of my mind, as the original has always been my all time favorite boulder. YES! Roper had tried the bottom moves yearsssss ago but I dismissed it at the time as both silly and too hard. Sorted the sit moves but way too hot in the sun to attempt further. Sent the middle start on 2/25/21: Barndori chicken. And, acquired a left radial collateral ligament injury. Bashed the back of my thumb trying to pull my dragon off while standing on top post send. Not a proud line but in the sweet spot of difficulty. The grade is hard for me on this one, hard v8 into hard v8 but with 12 moves to the 15ish moves to the "jug" the power endurance factor seems to bump it a grade for me. Haven't fought this hard at the end of a line for a long time, thought I was going to drop every move. A few goes, each slightly better than the previous, a punt and finally the send burn. rolled out that door at 8a on a sunny but cold Sunday after a brutal 3 day work stretch, and STILL didn't beat the sun which popped around the trees around 0930, furthering my anxiety of quickly abating send conditions. I guess it gave me the boost I needed when they reneged and started to drop the water back down. Thought my window of opportunity was snatched from me by the 2+ inches of rain and I'd have to wait til fall. Major disappointment when the water came up 55 that's FIFTY FIVE FEET in 3 days including dropping some large drift wood under this boulder. The traverse in from the start of Davey Jones' Locker. Maybe something to try more in the fall or if we get a freak 50 degree day soon. Glad Kenny B got to come out today! And Odin! I think I sorted my beta for Cheshire Cat although never actually did the 2nd or 3rd moves but felt close and was pretty tired. I could see both of these being really specific, high end 11s for small crimp masters, but will defer to Marley's assessment for now. It is once again my style although maybe a bit less so than March Hare. Hard to believe I would be able to do a 12 with one real day of work, even if I'd gotten the 1st two moves (nearly) dialed for March Hare, they are not the crux. Feels maybe a hare (lol) easier than March Hare, a bit less friction dependent although I think overall the styles are similar. Maybe worth it? Quite a warm day today high in the mid 70s but waited for prime day-time temps at about 730p to take her down. Amazing I got this done although I'm not sure at what expense, another round of finger injuries coming to light as they seem to do each spring.

The muscular focus of the exercise is somewhat dependent on the orientation of the upper arm bone within the shoulder joint, and which direction the elbows are pointed. What is the benefit of pullover exercise?ĭumbbell pullovers are a great exercise for the upper body with variations to target the chest, predominantly, and also the back muscles. The dumbbell pullover works muscle groups throughout your upper body, including your latissimus dorsi, your pectoralis major, the triceps on the back of your upper arms, and the serratus muscle on the side of your rib cage. What are the benefits of doing pullovers?ĭumbbell pullovers can build upper body strength in your shoulders and back. That’s a great payoff for hard-training athletes with shoulder issues. It improves your shoulder mobility: The dumbbell pullover doesn’t directly target your shoulder muscles, but since it hits your lats and triceps-two muscle groups which assist in shoulder mobility-your shoulders ultimately benefit. It spans the width of your back and helps control the movement of your shoulders. It’s sometimes referred to as your lats and is known for its large, flat “V” shape. The latissimus dorsi is one of the largest muscles in your back. Next, engage the core to ensure a neutral spine, and begin pulling the rope in a reciprocal fashion continuously for 20-30 seconds. “It works your back and biceps, but if done at the right intensity, it’s also a good cardio workout,” adds Rob Deutsch, founder at F45 Training.īegin in a half kneeling position with the left leg up and right knee down. “It is a great functional way to train your back and core.” As you pull the rope, it just keeps coming, and it requires strength and cardiovascular endurance to keep at it. There are many shoulder injuries that can occur to the joint and muscles including tears, tendonitis, and impingement to name a few. That said, dumbbell pullovers should be avoided, as this places great stress on the shoulder joint and also puts the shoulder in a position in which it can easily become dislocated. But if you do any of the following: Arch your back. The pullover can be an awesome move for CRUSHING the abs and enhancing shoulder mobility, assuming that your technique is on point. Should you arch your back when doing pullovers? Pulldown is a great way to target and isolate your lats and rear delts giving you a better more well rounded physique. Adding variety into your workout is an important factor to continue building strength and lean muscle mass. The rope pulldown/pull over is a fantastic accessory strength training movement. Strand and Tracy keep bickering about Troy. They keep Tracy blindfolded so she can’t reveal to Troy PADRE’s location. June calls out to Troy on the radio and wants to hand his daughter over, if they can make an accommodating deal for both parties. Fear the Walking Dead season 8, episode 10 recap: He’s a sociopath on a revenge tourĭirectly following the events at PADRE, June and her posse have Strand and Tracy on the boat. With or without a daughter to protect, revenge is always on his mind. Those people don’t know Troy the way he does. June is naive in thinking that will be enough. June plans to take Tracy and her captor Victor, to Troy and hopes that will be enough to keep him off of PADRE. Neither have a superior footing in this matter. The bickering, back and forth about who has changed for the better and who hasn’t, got old quickly. I get her anger with Strand, but she too has done some things to get people killed, and Victor calls her on it. June has become increasingly annoying this last season. But Strand does make a very good point, currently Troy does not know where the island is. She wants to take Tracy back to Troy in exchange for security. Victor thinks that keeping Tracy at PADRE is the perfect leverage to keep Troy from attacking and taking over the island.ĭwight and June think the opposite, believing it could be the perfect reason to attack. Right off the bat, June comes into PADRE acting as if she owns the place. This episode is all about testing Strand’s leadership and seeing how much he has changed. Nevertheless, let’s dive into season 8 episode 10. They are wasting far too much time on repeated tropes. At this point, I just don’t see how Fear the Walking Dead can go out in a good way. This doesn’t leave a lot of promise for the remaining two episodes. After the previous episode “No Sanctuary”, I was expecting a much more entertaining and heightened episode. With only three episodes left of Fear the Walking Dead, “Keeping Her Alive” leaves much to be desired. |
