Cite prophets prey12/4/2023 On the other hand, she further notes, there are places in the Hebrew Bible where nvy is used as an apparent abbreviation for prophet. Mazar does not know if the remaining parts of the bulla will be found, but notes that nvy by itself could be part or all of a personal name, one that did not belong to the prophet. Thus, the seal would have been used to make bullas as a form of receipt from the prophet Isaiah. It starts with "nvy."

Examples of nerve endings12/4/2023 ![]() Muscle spindles that detect changes in the length of this muscle. Proprioception relies on two, primary stretch receptors: Golgi tendon organs and muscle spindles. Proprioception is the sense of the position of parts of our body and force being generated during movement. There are fewer Pacinian corpuscles and Ruffini endings in the skin than there are Merkel’s disks and Meissner’s corpuscles. Pacinian receptors detect pressure and vibration by being compressed, which stimulates their internal dendrites. Pacinian corpuscles, located deep in the dermis are rapidly-adapting mechanoreceptors that sense deep, transient (not prolonged) pressure, and high-frequency vibration. These are slow-adapting, encapsulated mechanoreceptors that detect skin stretch and deformations within joints. They respond to fine touch and pressure, but they also respond to low-frequency vibration or flutter. Deeper in the dermis, near the base, are Ruffini endings, which are also known as bulbous corpuscles. Meissner’s corpuscles are found primarily in the glabrous skin on the fingertips and eyelids. They are slow-adapting, unencapsulated nerve endings, which respond to light touch. Merkel’s disks are densely distributed in the fingertips and lips. Merkel’s disks are found in the upper layers of skin. Pacinian corpuscles detect transient pressure and high-frequency vibration. Ruffini endings detect stretch, deformation within joints, and warmth. Meissner’s corpuscles respond to touch and low-frequency vibration. Meissner’s corpuscles, Ruffini endings, Pacinian corpuscles, and Krause end bulbs are all encapsulated. Merkel’s disks, which are unencapsulated, respond to light touch. Primary mechanoreceptors: Four of the primary mechanoreceptors in human skin are shown.

Chicken noodle soup recipe12/4/2023 Heat olive oil and butter in a large soup pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat.8oz gluten free spaghetti, broken into pieces (or any short-cut pasta).1 chicken breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces.64oz chicken stock, plus more for reheating.1 large or 2 medium carrots, peeled then sliced.Gluten Free Homestyle Chicken and Noodles.Ladle the steamy soup into bowls then devour. The chicken should be perfectly cooked by that point too. Turn the heat down to medium then simmer until the pasta is cooked through. Thinly sliced Gluten Free Egg Noodles are an excellent choice too! Isn’t that great?! I’ve used pretty much every pasta under the sun in this soup over the years, but for this batch I broke gluten free spaghetti into small pieces in honor of my Grandma. My Grandma always added spaghetti noodles broken in half in her soup. Meanwhile, chop chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, then add to the boiling chicken broth along with gluten free or regular pasta. Next add chicken stock then turn the heat up and bring to a boil. If I’m making this soup for someone who’s under the weather I’ll usually double up on the butter to make it extra decadent and comforting. Add minced garlic then saute for 1 more minute. Add carrots, celery, and onion or shallot, season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper, then saute until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Start by heating butter and olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Ready to enjoy in no time, and perfect for pairing with Gluten Free Focaccia or Gluten Free Cornbread! It’s probably my all-time favorite soup recipe here on IGE. Like a little black dress, everyone needs a go-to, committed to memory, Chicken Noodle Soup recipe to pull out at a moment’s notice, and I hope this will become yours. No herbs, no fuss – just everyday ingredients coming together to create one of the best bowls of soup on the planet. I first shared my Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup recipe way back in 2009, just a few months into my IGE journey, but with soup and sick season upon us I thought this would be the perfect time to re-feature it.īack then I shared that we ate this soup every time we visited my Grandparent’s house in Ohio. It’s the most simple homemade chicken noodle soup you could ever imagine, ready in 30 minutes, made with fridge and pantry staples, and soothes the achy/sick/sad soul. That’s right, this Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is so good that the recipe has been handed down through three generations. It’s actually hers…or rather, her Mom’s aka my Grandma! My Mom got hit with the flu a couple weeks ago and the second I hung up the phone with her sounding weak as a kitten I sprang into action making a huge pot of Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup from memory, which I delivered less than an hour later to her doorstep.

Corona virus vaccine los angeles12/4/2023 Just half of Americans say they want to get vaccinated, while about a quarter don’t and the rest are unsure, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Health Research. Plus, the shots can cause temporary fever, fatigue and aches as they rev up people’s immune systems, forcing hospitals to stagger employee vaccinations. “We’re also in the middle of a surge, and it’s the holidays, and our health care workers have been working at an extraordinary pace,” said Sue Mashni, chief pharmacy officer at Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. hopes for enough of both vaccines together to vaccinate 20 million people by the end of the month, and 30 million more in January, there won’t be enough for the average person to get a shot until spring.įor now the hurdle is to rapidly get vaccine into the arms of millions, not just doctors and nurses but other at-risk health workers such as janitors and food handlers - and then deliver a second dose three weeks later.

Getting vaccinated is “a privilege,” said Dr. Health experts know a wary public is watching the vaccination campaign, especially communities of color that have been hit hard by the pandemic but, because of the nation’s legacy of racial health disparities and research abuses against Black people, have doubts about the vaccine. It just represents a moral failing,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, a public health researcher at Johns Hopkins. “To think, now we can just absorb in our country 3,000 deaths a day as though it were just business as usual. It is equal to a 9/11 attack every day for more than 100 days. It is more than five times the number of Americans killed in the Vietnam War.

Basic differential geometry12/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Curves that are not (pieces of) circles or lines will have a curvature varying from point to point. Circles and lines have constant curvature. A circle with a small radius is more ”curved” than a circle with a large radius. Well, a line is not curved at all its curvature has to be zero. They can be derived from the geometry of a solid body or particle. These are properties that do not change under congruence. Geometric Properties are properties that solely depend on the geometry of an object, not of how ![]() Source: Wikipedia What are Geometric Properties? When curves, surfaces enclosed by curves, and points on curves were found to be quantitatively, and generally, related by mathematical forms, the formal study of the nature of curves and surfaces became a field of study in its own right, with Monge’s paper in 1795, and especially, with Gauss’s publication of his article, titled ‘Disquisitiones Generales Circa Superficies Curvas’, in Commentationes Societatis Regiae Scientiarum Gottingesis Recentiores in 1827. The general idea of natural equations for obtaining curves from local curvature appears to have been first considered by Leonhard Euler in 1736, and many examples with fairly simple behavior were studied in the 1800s. These unanswered questions indicated greater, hidden relationships. Mathematical analysis of curves and surfaces had been developed to answer some of the nagging and unanswered questions that appeared in calculus, like the reasons for relationships between complex shapes and curves, series and analytic functions. Differential Geometry is the study of geometric properties using Differential and Integral Calculus. It is a branch of mathematics dealing with geometrical forms and the intrinsic properties of curves and surfaces as related to differential calculus and mathematical analysis.ĭifferential geometry arose and developed as a result of and in connection to the mathematical analysis of curves and surfaces.

Adonit dash 3 palm rejection12/3/2023 This means the Jot Dash is still a viable option for such apps although perhaps not the optimum choice if you are serious with your creativity. When it comes to art applications, you are still limited to manually selecting different brush widths due to the lack of pressure sensitivity but the stylus still offers the precision a fine tip provides in place of a fingertip. I tested this with Notability, Notes Plus and One Note on the iPad and all of these apps do a very respectable job of automated palm rejection, to the point where I could relax my hand on the screen and take notes and only the stylus input was captured. The lack of official palm rejection and pressure sensitivity may be seen as a limiting factor in some usage scenarios but this can be a non-issue when used with the right application. Again, this is down to the screen technology and is exactly the same when a finger is used it is just more apparent with a fine stylus tip because your fingertip largely obscures this on screen delay. There is also some detectable lag which manifests itself in the line on screen being drawn behind the tip. This is a product of the screen technology employed and not a failing of the stylus itself. This is down to the way a capacitive screen uses a matrix to detect contact and is essentially calibrated for a fingertip. On the iPad, the screen responds the exact same way with perhaps the only small deviation being drawing slow, diagonal lines where a small stepping pattern appears in the line. Performance of the Jot Dash during my testing was every bit as good as using a finger. If you are going to be taking a lot of notes with a stylus, you want it to be comfortable to hold and work with and this definitely ticks that box! It is sized just like a normal pen and feels great in use. This is great battery life for such a small stylus and it's great that there have been no compromises in the design to achieve that battery life. The Jot Dash takes around 45 minutes for a full charge and lasts for around 14 hours of continuous use. If it works with your finger, it will work with the Jot Dash. This means that there is no additional requirements and this should work just as well with any touch based application. The whole purpose of this stylus is to replicate what you would do with your finger without the need for an additional Bluetooth connection. This stylus should work with pretty much all capacitive touch screens including iOS and Android devices. The tip is smooth and very hard wearing, designed to glide effortlessly across the screen while being durable to last the course of ownership. This composite polymer plastic tip measures just 1.9mm across which is the main benefit of this type of active stylus - it offers up a higher level of precision over a fingertip to the user because they can see exactly where they are interacting with the screen. The whole reason for this stylus requiring an internal power source is that it generates a small electrical charge around a very small tip that replicates a fingertip interacting with a capacitive touch screen. ![]() Thankfully, Adonit do offer additional or replacement chargers on their site. The charger is small, only protruding 25mm and lightweight thanks to its plastic construction although I would be wary when carrying this around as it could easily be lost. This magnetic hold benefits with the safety net of easily disengaging when the user needs or when knocked to ensure neither the stylus nor charger are damaged. Included in the package is the USB charger which is a small but clever design allowing the stylus to sit magnetically in place whilst charging. There is also power saving at work and the stylus will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity. Whilst charging, the indicator will pulse red and turn to solid green when fully charged. ![]() Further down from this clip is the power indicator which briefly lights up in green when powered on, and red when powered down. It features a simple click power button on top and a handy shirt clip on the side. It measures in at 141 x 8.5mm and weighs 12g. The Jot Dash is a classy looking device, fashioned from Aluminium and coming in either a silver or black finish. For those who must read up on every last detail though, there is good information available on the Adonit support pages. Included in the package is the stylus and USB charge dock - there is no true documentation included but it really isn't required. This forgoes some of the higher end features such as Bluetooth support for palm rejection and pressure sensitivity to bring a capable stylus at a respectable price point. With the recent announcement of the Apple Pencil, now is a great time to discuss styli and the Jot Dash is the latest from Adonit. |
