![]() The other two sides are then x (opposite the 60°) and 2 x (opposite the 90°). The side opposite 90° is the longest side (hypotenuse) and is 2 or 2 x.Įxample 4: If the shortest side of a 30°−60°−90° right triangle is 4, what is the measure of the other two sides? The side opposite 30° is the shortest side and is 1 or x (Figure 5).įigure 5 The ratios of the sides of a 30°−60°−90° triangle ![]() The ratio of the sides of a 30°−60°−90° right triangle is 1 : : 2 or x : x : 2 x placed as follows. A 30°− 60°− 90° right triangle has a unique ratio of its sides. Therefore, this is an isosceles right triangle with the ratio of sides x : x : x Because one leg is 10, the other must also be 10, and the hypotenuse is 10, so y = 10 and z = 10. Therefore, each side of the square has a measure of 6.Ĥ5° + 90° + x° = 180° (The sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°.) x = 45° 6 represents the hypotenuse.Įxample 3: What are the measurements of x, y, and z in Figure 4 ?įigure 4 Finding the unknown parts of this right triangle So x = 6, and each side of the square has a measure of 6. The ratio x : x : x for isosceles right triangles can now be applied where x = 6. Look at Figure 3 .įigure 3 A diagonal of a square helps create two congruent isosceles right triangles. Method 1: The diagonal of a square divides it into two congruent isosceles right triangles. Using the Pythagorean Theorem and the fact that the legs of this right triangle are equal,Įxample 2: If the diagonal of a square is 6, find the length of each of its sides. Method 1: Using the ratio x : x : x for isosceles right triangles, then x = 3, and the other sides must be 3 and 3. The ratio of the sides of an isosceles right triangle is always 1 : 1 : or x : x: x (Figure 2 ).įigure 2 The ratios of the sides of an isosceles right triangleĮxample 1: If one of the equal sides of an isosceles right triangle is 3, what are the measures of the other two sides? (The right angle cannot be one of the equal angles or the sum of the angles would exceed 180°.) Therefore, in Figure 1 , Δ ABC is an isosceles right triangle, and the following must always be true. It has two equal sides, two equal angles, and one right angle. An isosceles right triangle has the characteristic of both the isosceles and the right triangles.

One of the things about moving a significant distance from the plants and animals I’m so familiar with is that I am also a long way from the kind knowing that is only possible when one has lived somewhere for a long time. Spring in West Marin - and the Pacific Northwest in general - always meant the return of Swainson’s Thrush singing their hearts out: Pacific is bigger / than I ever knew / until I got in her / and the water it moved / yeah it moved me / and if I was frightened / out there on the shore / well I had good reasons / but I don’t anymore / yeah it moved me / there’s nowhere to go where the earth doesn’t quake / it moved me The internets claim that the artist herself now lives and surfs in this same small town, so I like to imagine it’s her I captured in the photograph above exactly two years ago today. This song - and even the lyrics, which I finally “got” after playing the song over and over on trips to and from the Buddhist Centre - evokes a similar feeling for me. I’ve experienced a particular magic that is very difficult to describe, and it happened to me regularly while surfing this spot at sunset, on days when there was just enough haze in the atmosphere to blend the pastel colors of sea and sky seamlessly into one another to such an extent that distinctions themselves felt meaningless… in fact the difference between me, bobbing gently amongst all that wonder, and the vast expanse itself seemed to disappear entirely. ![]() But more importantly, particularly regarding the ThinkVision M14t Monitor, is what other functionality is supported – especially when it comes to video signals. Speeds can range anywhere from 5Gbps to 20Gbps. At a high level, the generation of USB that the USB-C port support determines both the functionality and the speed. It’s important to note that not all USB-C ports are the same (this PCmag article has many good details). I tested this out, and it seems to work quite well. So, depending on your devices, you could plug power into the ThinkVision and then connect the ThinkVision to your laptop or Chromebook. The beauty also about USB-C is that it has pass-through charging capabilities. So, conceivably, if you have a USB-C plug, you could plug it into the monitor to power it, but the better way to do this is to use a device that can provide power over USB-C. The ThinkVision M14t Portable Monitor does NOT have a power supply! How is this possible? Well, obviously, it uses one of the USB-C ports for power. So what is missing? A port for a power supply. On the left side are another USB-C port, a Brightness rocker switch, and a Low blue light button (which also activates the on-screen touch-enabled menu). On the right side are the Power Button, a lock slot, and a USB-C port. On the sides of the adjustable base/foot are ports and buttons. But as I started thinking about other use cases, I did find some scenarios which worked and a couple that surprisingly did not.īut first, let’s talk about the available ports and the one port that is missing (on purpose). The ThinkVision seems to be a match made specifically for the Chromebook Duet. Earlier, I reviewed the Lenovo Chromebook Duet, I nice little 2-in-1 Chromebook/Tablet. The ThinkVision M14t Monitor has been carefully designed to support multiple use cases. In fact, you can fold it up and easily travel with it with your laptop – perfect for business travel or sharing a display at a family gathering. Lastly, when you fold up the base/foot into the monitor’s body, it is quite flat. It also has a Low Blue Light mode to allow you to reduce eyestrain. It supports 16.7 million colors, a typical 300 nit, and a 60 Hz refresh rate. I truly found the display to be exceptionally crisp with good color balance. What does that mean? Well, in simple terms, you get great high-definition resolution for videos or other on-screen work. This is an FHD (Full High Definition) IPS monitor that supports 1920 x 1080 resolution. The adjustable foot will not allow for it to be seated in a stable way in a portrait mode. Importantly, however, is the fact that this portable monitor is designed primarily to be seated in a landscape manner. In the base is a tilt-adjustable foot that allows you to adjust the angle of the display between -5° and 90°. The design of the ThinkVision M14t Portable Touch Screen Monitor is truly aligned with portability as well. The ThinkVision M14t weighs a mere 1.54 lbs! That is definitely lighter than most laptops and even some ultra-portables. If it weighs too much, it isn’t portable in my mind. That is thinner than many tablets and much thinner than most desktop monitors.Īnd, when you talk about something being portable, you must talk about how much something weighs. The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Portable Touch Screen Monitor, in my opinion, truly defines portability. And there are some things you should know about in terms of compatibility as well. There are some really nifty features built into the Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Portable Touch Screen Monitor that I will go into later on in this review. At the dining room table, I quickly attached the 14″ ThinkVision monitor and instantly I had two monitors (my laptop and the ThinkVision) extending me desktop – and I’m using it as I write this review. But, my regular monitor remained seated on my desk. So for me, mobility means moving from my usual desk to the dining room table. I got my hands on the ThinkVision M14t Portable Touch Screen Monitor several weeks ago and incorporated it into my “mobile lifestyle” – which actually isn’t that mobile since we are all still quarantining at home. This ultra-portable touchscreen monitor extends your viewable desktop with just ONE cable! (*Disclosure below.) That is where the Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Portable Touch Screen Monitor comes to save the day. But I can’t just pick up my desk monitor and move around with my laptop. My work desk has a minimum of two monitors (more if they would fit). For me, though, I enjoy having multiple screens and monitors. ![]() A larger screen and a keyboard make writing much easier. ![]() But sometimes, having a laptop (or a Chromebook) can be quite beneficial. These ultra-portable devices let us be productive and connected in places we never dreamed we could before. We now have supercomputers like smartphones and tablets that we carry in our pockets, purses, bags, and backpacks. ![]() PSA 10 Charizard VSTAR Rainbow Star Birth Pokemon Japanese Sword & Shield GEM.

The map’s small size means that you’re almost always guaranteed to run into other players which, although terrifying, has done a far better job at getting me comfortable with the combat mechanics than trudging around a seemingly endless forest without so much as seeing an enemy player ever could. The spoils of my first raid (Image credit: Battlestate Games) This included an absolutely incredible ambush in the central street, where Jake and I mercilessly pulverized two clueless level 10 players while we were perched on a sneaky vantage point at the top of an elevated walkway which resulted in me gaining a whole loadout of valuable plundered gear. It seems like it’s been designed to facilitate close combat encounters and I got into a handful of memorable firefights in my first run alone. Called Ground Zero, the map is planned to have a separate matchmaking pool for lower level players and consists of a small city block with a handful of abandoned buildings to explore. Under the watchful eye of our resident 3,500+ hour Tarkov expert and Editor-in-Chief Jake Tucker, I managed to get a decent grip of the basic mechanics without too much frustration - even if he hasn’t quite forgiven me for that one time I accidentally shot him in the back in the middle of a firefight.Įven though we had our fair share of memorable matches, the formula never really clicked with me until the game’s most recent update which features a brand-new map geared specifically towards newcomers like me. The only thing that stopped me from ditching the game entirely was the enjoyment of playing with friends. My first priority was to try and get to grips with the sprawling Woods map, but my experience mostly boiled down to catching a last-second glimpse of a heavily armored player crouched in a distant bush before immediately dying of a shot to the head. These systems meant that I didn’t have the best time back when I initially started playing about a month ago. Throw in a very fiddly inventory system, tricky weapon handling, and the need for your character to frequently eat and drink, and it is an awful lot to deal with at first. Sound and positioning is also vitally important and, as a less experienced player, it took a good few hours and a surprising amount of concentration to stop myself from inadvertently revealing my position by accidentally brushing past foliage or stepping on broken glass. Any injury can be lethal too, meaning that you’re highly likely to find yourself bleeding out in a nearby ditch if you sustain a serious wound without immediate access to any healing equipment. Firefights are almost always fast, brutal, and intense, with enemies (or you if you’re not paying attention) going down after just a couple of well-placed hits. The stakes are already high when your entire loadout is on the line but Escape from Tarkov takes things to an even more punishing level than most with its unforgiving commitment to realism. ![]() The origins of structuralism are connected with the work of Ferdinand de Saussure on linguistics along with the linguistics of the Prague and Moscow schools. Īccordingly, the so-called "Gang of Four" of structuralism is considered to be Lévi-Strauss, Lacan, Barthes, and Michel Foucault. Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida focused on how structuralism could be applied to literature. This included such writers as Louis Althusser and psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, as well as the structural Marxism of Nicos Poulantzas. Lévi-Strauss' work in turn gave rise to the structuralist movement in France, also called French structuralism, influencing the thinking of other writers, most of whom disavowed themselves as being a part of this movement. Jakobson was a decisive influence on anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, by whose work the term structuralism first appeared in reference to social sciences. Russian functional linguist Roman Jakobson was a pivotal figure in the adaptation of structural analysis to disciplines beyond linguistics, including philosophy, anthropology, and literary theory. By the early 1960s, structuralism as a movement was coming into its own and some believed that it offered a single unified approach to human life that would embrace all disciplines. The initial popularity of structuralism in France led to its spread across the globe. ![]() Structuralism rose to prominence in France in the wake of existentialism, particularly in the 1960s. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, existentialism, such as that propounded by Jean-Paul Sartre, was the dominant European intellectual movement. His linguistic approach was also a refutation of evolutionary linguistics. Saussure conceived language and society as a system of relations. Īpart from Durkheim's use of the term structure, the semiological concept of Ferdinand de Saussure became fundamental for structuralism. Emile Durkheim based his sociological concept on 'structure' and 'function', and from his work emerged the sociological approach of structural functionalism. As such, the movement in humanities and social sciences called structuralism relates to sociology. The term structuralism is ambiguous, referring to different schools of thought in different contexts. Many proponents of structuralism, such as Lacan, continue to influence continental philosophy and many of the fundamental assumptions of some of structuralism's post-structuralist critics are a continuation of structuralist thinking. Though elements of their work necessarily relate to structuralism and are informed by it, these theorists eventually came to be referred to as post-structuralists. Along with Lévi-Strauss, the most prominent thinkers associated with structuralism include linguist Roman Jakobson and psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan.īy the late 1960s, many of structuralism's basic tenets came under attack from a new wave of predominantly French intellectuals/philosophers such as historian Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser, and literary critic Roland Barthes. The structuralist mode of reasoning has since been applied in a range of fields, including anthropology, sociology, psychology, literary criticism, economics, and architecture. French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss was arguably the first such scholar, sparking a widespread interest in structuralism. After World War II, an array of scholars in the humanities borrowed Saussure's concepts for use in their respective fields. As an intellectual movement, structuralism became the heir to existentialism. Structuralism in Europe developed in the early 20th century, mainly in France and the Russian Empire, in the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure and the subsequent Prague, Moscow, and Copenhagen schools of linguistics. These relations constitute a structure, and behind local variations in the surface phenomena there are constant laws of abstract structure." "The belief that phenomena of human life are not intelligible except through their interrelations. It works to uncover the structural patterns that underlie all the things that humans do, think, perceive, and feel.Īlternatively, as summarized by philosopher Simon Blackburn, structuralism is: Structuralism is an intellectual current and methodological approach, primarily in the social sciences, that interprets elements of human culture by way of their relationship to a broader system. ![]() If you outline your relevant experience and skills, display what unique benefits you offer to the company and match yourself to the position, you grab the employer’s attention.

Some of her tracts were written in simple English so that they could easily be understood by those with poor literary skills. In her lifetime, much of her published work was concerned with spreading medical knowledge. Nightingale was a prodigious and versatile writer. This diagram is still regularly used in data visualisation. She is famous for usage of the polar area diagram, also called the Nightingale rose diagram, equivalent to a modern circular histogram. Nightingale was a pioneer in statistics she represented her analysis in graphical forms to ease drawing conclusions and actionables from data. Her social reforms included improving healthcare for all sections of British society, advocating better hunger relief in India, helping to abolish prostitution laws that were harsh for women, and expanding the acceptable forms of female participation in the workforce. In recognition of her pioneering work in nursing, the Nightingale Pledge taken by new nurses, and the Florence Nightingale Medal, the highest international distinction a nurse can achieve, were named in her honour, and the annual International Nurses Day is celebrated on her birthday. It was the first secular nursing school in the world and is now part of King's College London. In 1860, she laid the foundation of professional nursing with the establishment of her nursing school at St Thomas' Hospital in London. Recent commentators have asserted that Nightingale's Crimean War achievements were exaggerated by the media at the time, but critics agree on the importance of her later work in professionalising nursing roles for women. Nightingale gave nursing a favourable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture, especially in the persona of "The Lady with the Lamp" making rounds of wounded soldiers at night. She significantly reduced death rates by improving hygiene and living standards. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople. įlorence Nightingale OM RRC DStJ ( / ˈ n aɪ t ɪ ŋ ɡ eɪ l/ – 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. ![]() Recorded to wax cylinder on 30 July 1890, to raise money for veterans of the Charge of the Light Brigade. |
