![]() I wanted to hold her and make her tears go away. That she recently lost her husband and father to her young child and that without her two sisters she could not have gotten through it.Īt this point, we were both crying. That her sisters were the most amazing people on earth. She then began to tell me that she actually had 2 sisters. ![]() I became flooded with emotions all over again. Sure enough, there on that 5 foot projection screen there it was. I went into the room hoping for the best (the tech before was wrong), yet expecting the obvious. ![]() This baby could still be a boy, she did say she couldn’t with 100% certainty after all. I went into their office still in denial. They were gracious enough to agree to see me the next morning. I called a local imaging center and asked for them to please make time to see me ASAP. I completed the rest of the routine questions and went to cry in my car. He proceeded to remind me about how this decision was definite and there was no turning back. Ahhhhhh! Now cue the additional tears. He then said I didn’t need to make up my mind at this present moment, but I needed to make up my mind soon. Why would you ask me that? Who knows? Yes we’re done, but wait should we try again. ![]() He said “so now that you know you’re having another girl, are we still planning to tie your tubes at your c section?” One that I thought I would never have to answer again. One that I thought I had already made up my mind about. I was basically scolded for even using “one of those tests” and told how I never should’ve relied on such a thing. My guess is that this wasn’t his first rodeo, but also the bedside manner could’ve used some work. He saw my face and had heard about my breakdown. It wasn’t my usual Doctor, it was one from his practice. Shortly after I managed to somewhat compose myself the Doctor came in. She went on to tell me she had 2 girls and a little boy. That my feelings were valid and understandable. She kept saying I didn’t need to be sorry. I kept apologizing to the nurse, because in the back of my mind I thought, what if she is currently struggling to get pregnant and here I am complaining about which one I got. A nurse came in to take my blood pressure and asked if I was okay. I sat there numb and staring off into space. The tech stated that we could do another scan but it wouldn’t be possible for a few weeks because of the holidays. I was then moved into an exam room to meet with the doctor. We shot blue confetti into the sky for freaking sake. We had a gender reveal party, with all of our friends and family. There are no other males in my house that could’ve skewed the test. He wasn’t even home when I took the test. I followed all the instructions to the T. The company said that they were 99.1% accurate with their tests. She must be wrong! She has to be wrong! It must’ve been the angle. After what felt like forever, she said “I can’t say with 100% confirmation…but I’m sorry to tell you, I think that your blood test was incorrect.” The entire time we were doing the anatomy scan I kept seeing her go over the area and then back. We said that we already had a blood test, we are having a baby boy, but a visual confirmation would be appreciated. The tech asked if we wanted to know the sex of the baby. So I’ll get to it! A few weeks ago we were doing a routine ultrasound. I am so lucky that I have been blessed with the ability to create another life. I will start by saying that I am so very grateful to be carrying a healthy baby. This is slightly controversial and I want you to hear me out… I’ve learned that there are many like me. I put my trust into a company that was supposedly reliable and only to learn that after doing some research- I’m not the first to have this happen to them. Unfortunately, I have been duped, deceived…I just feel like I’ve been lied to. I’ve emotionally had to process this whole thing for some time. One that I never thought I would be making. So it’s time for me to make an announcement. ![]() ![]()

Go through the computational details, I offer here an alternative “wrap around” when reaching a certain value – the modulus – so thatġ − modulus is not a negative number but 1 (think of aġ2 hour clock where the modulus is 12: here 1 − 12 = 1). What's important to know is that in modular arithmetics the numbers You can see the math in action in Nick Gammon's Mathematically inclined, some familiarity with this concept is very Rollover problem is to think of the unsigned long number returned by The correct way to manage (or rather, avoid having to manage) the Then, and even if the program is meant to runįor years at a time, the millis rollover should not be a concern. Programs only have to manage events that span relatively shortĭurations, like debouncing a button for 50 ms, or turning a heater Measures, chances are you are doing something wrong. If you try to detect the rollover in order to implement corrective Your example code from the tutorial is fine. Short answer: do not try to “handle” the millis rollover, write More significantly in the context of Carma's 15 year absence, the concept of the vehicle-as-weapon is now so evolved and so commonplace as to be secondary to the immersiveness of the game worlds they occupy. These days we expect a game's ability to display impairment to be not just realistic but applied universally, whether it's as a result of a collision between a vehicle and a building, or a bullet and a human skull - and if we can get a lingering slow motion repeat and some kind of award to go with it, so much the better. Back then, damage modelling in your typical racing game involved slapping a few scuffs on the paintwork and maybe a crack in the windshield, while the idea of aiming your car at helpless screaming bystanders and having their viscera sprayed at the screen in exchange for added time was seemingly - if the brief period of tabloid hysteria was anything to go by - beyond all common decency. Much has changed since Carmageddon first crashed onto the scene in the spring of 1997. ![]() ![]() ![]() The new Carmageddon offers a bloody good ride, but too often it's a danger to itself. ![]() Every item in the 300 page Khan Academy Psych/Soc document.

![]() At the time “Happy Old Age” was classified as 50 people live a lot longer these days than they did back then. Players moved their game tokens along the board according to the spins of a teetotum - a multi-sided top that functioned similarly to how we use dice (dice were rejected for the Checkered Game Of Life because they were considered too closely connected to gambling) - and hopefully, although not necessarily, ended up in the upper right hand corner, at Happy Old Age. Called the Checkered Game Of Life, it looked more like… well, checkers than anything else: The board consisted of alternating black and white squares, with players starting in the lower left hand corner at the square marked Infancy. The Game Of Life goes back much further than most people probably think: Milton Bradley - the person, not the company that would later bear his name - came up with the first iteration of Life in 1860, according to The Atlantic’s thorough history of the game. The player with the most money after everything’s been tallied wins. The Pet cards come into play again here they’re worth additional money, and could be the difference between paying all your debts off or staying in the red. The end of the game is “retirement” once everyone gets there, they pay their debts, add up their wealth, and see who’s got the most money. Why the bank would give you $20,000 because your cat had kittens continues to be a headache for the more logical among us in real life, we don't automatically get money when we have human children (we're lucky if we get a week or two of paid parental leave), let alone fur children, so… why does this game mechanic exist? It’s anyone’s guess. ![]() The Game Of Life: Pets Edition, $20, Amazon Drawing a Pet card could yield anything from “passing obedience school” to “eating homework” - and, as one image of the game illustrates, a Pet card might even result in your pets having offspring of their own: The decks of cards that help determine your fate now cover five categories: House cards, Action cards, College Career cards, regular Career cards, and Pet cards. It’s adorable, and I am here for it.Īs in the standard version of the Game Of Life, you spend the Pets Edition going to school (or not), having a career (or not), getting married, and having a family this time, though, you can also adopt a pet as you go. The pet pegs come in two varieties, Cat and Dog pegs while the downside about that is that people who would prefer, say, an iguana as a pet are out of luck, on the plus side, the pegs actually look like cats and dogs. ![]() In this version, each player starts with one car, a “Spin to Win” token, one pink or blue peg, one pet peg, and $200,000. I’ll confess that I don’t think I’ve ever managed to finish a complete game of the Milton Bradley board game the Game of Life - but maybe I will now: The newly released Game Of Life: Pets Edition includes all the hallmarks of the classic game, while adding - what else? - pets to the equation. ![]()
![]() Failure is defined as loss of intimate contact between the ACB unit and subgrade. The design procedure accounts for additional forces applied to the unit when protrusions above the matrix occur, such as subgrade irregularities or due to improper placement (see Figure 3). This ratio defines the factor of safety against uplift. The size and weight of the ACB units, as well as performance data from full-scale laboratory testing, are considered in evaluating the ratio of resisting to overturning moments (the “force balance” approach). For cases where the revetment is placed on steep side slopes (2H:1V or steeper), the design should evaluate the potential for slip shear failures along geosynthetic-ACB unit interfaces induced by hydraulic and gravitational forces (i.e., potential slope instability).įundamental principles of open channel flow and rigid body mechanics are used along with hydraulic test results supplied by manufacturers. ![]() The revetment system is more apt to fail as a result of overturning about the downstream edge of the ACB unit, or downstream corner point when the ACB unit is located on the side slope of a steep channel. In typical channel and spillway applications, failure due to sliding (slipping) of the ACB revetment along the bed is remote. The design method involves balancing the driving and resisting forces, including gravity, drag and lift as illustrated in Figure 2. Similar to many rip rap sizing methods, the Factor of Safety method quantifies hydraulic stability of ACB systems using a “discrete particle” approach (see ref. These topics are covered in design manuals such as references 5 and 6. This TEK does not address geotextile filter and/or subgrade filter design, minimum installation guidelines critical to the proper performance of ACB revetments, or minimum upstream or downstream toe treatments. This TEK addresses the structural stability of ACB revetment systems as a function of site-specific hydraulic conditions and unit characteristics. Units must conform to minimum compressive strength, absorption and geometric specifications tested in accordance with Standard Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Concrete Masonry Units and Related Units, ASTM C140 (ref. Figure 1 illustrates a variety of ACB systems, but is not all-inclusive of available systems.ĪCB units are concrete block produced in accordance with Standard Specification for Materials and Manufacture of Articulating Concrete Block (ACB) Revetment Systems, ASTM D6684 (ref. Systems with openings in the blocks can typically be vegetated to provide a “green” channel and facilitate infiltration/exfiltration of channel moisture. Systems may be connected through geometric interlock and/or other components such as cables. ![]() Because it is composed of individual units, the ACB system can conform to minor changes in the subgrade without loss of intimate contact. ACB systems are a matrix of individual concrete blocks placed closely together to form an erosion-resistant overlay with specific hydraulic performance characteristics. Articulating concrete block (ACB) systems provide erosion protection to soil exposed to the hydraulic forces of moving water. This TEK is intended to help designers understand the ACB design methodology and the different variables influencing the design and safety factor selection.
