Microsoft detours1/11/2024 When an update targets the NT kernel or additional core components, a restart is always required because it is not possible to unload those binaries while their code is executing. When binaries such as these are patched as part of an update, a restart is required for the patch to be successfully installed. Certain kernel and user-mode binaries, like win32k.sys or ntdll.dll, are always loaded into memory and some others, like Explorer.exe, are loaded when there is an active user session. The reason a reboot is almost always required is because a binary that must be updated is usually actively mapped in one or more processes so its code may be currently executing. Usually, many binaries from all over the system are accessed and changed when a patch is applied. While technologies like Kernel Soft Reboot and VM preserving host updates already exist to minimize VM downtime while changing major OS releases, security patches are applied frequently enough that even this technique impacts downtime. However, we also require these operating system instances to be secure. For example, the instances of Windows Server that power the Azure fleet are required to be highly available. Some scenarios require continuous or near-continuous availability. Within each patch, both user mode (application) and kernel mode (system) binaries can be updated, and typically this requires a reboot. By providing these security patches, we aim to make the Windows OS more secure and eliminate the opportunity of malicious actors to exploit vulnerabilities. These patches are developed by feature teams as a fix for various security vulnerabilities in the OS. Traditionally, security patches have been deployed on the second Tuesday of every month, known as Patch Tuesday. To fix these vulnerabilities, Microsoft has historically combined a group of security fixes into what is known as a security patch. Every day, many malicious actors attempt to find vulnerabilities. Like many operating systems, Windows has a large codebase, a driver ecosystem, and a complex set of dependencies. A core priority of the Windows Kernel team is to keep the operating system, applications, and users secure.

Anemometer measures1/11/2024 The number of bucket-tips are counted and the precipitation is calculated. Specifically, our ECONet rain gauges are known as tipping bucket gauges (Figure F) – when the gauge fills to a certain level (0.01″), the gauge tips and empties so as to avoid overflowing or clogging. For our ECONet towers and other officially recognized weather stations, the instruments are more precise than the bucket & ruler method. In its most basic form, a rain gauge can be a bucket that collects rain water to be measured by a ruler (Figure E). Because propeller anemometers measure both speed and direction simultaneously, they are considered to be more accurate than the two separate instruments.Ī rain gauge is an instrument used to measure the amount of precipitation over a certain amount of time. Many weather stations, including our ECONet towers, use a tool that combines these two instruments into one called a propeller anemometer (Figure D). It is important to note that wind direction is always given by where the wind is coming from, so a west (or westerly) wind is blowing from west to east. As the wind blows past the instrument, the wind vane will point in the direction that the wind is coming from. A wind vane can help us to measure which direction the wind is coming from (Figure C – left side). This is great for measuring wind speed, but doesn’t help us measure the wind direction. As the wind blows, it pushes the cups and causes the arms to rotate at a rate proportional to the wind speed. There are a few different types of anemometers, one of the most common being a cup anemometer (Figure C – right side). The temperature sensor on this device is contained within a vented unit which allows air to flow freely across the sensor and measure the temperature while keeping the thermometer shaded from the direct heating of the sun.Īn anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed and they’re very common at weather stations. At modern weather stations, like our ECONet towers, an electronic temperature sensor is used to measure the outside air temperature (Figure B). As the temperature of the instrument changes, so too does the volume of the liquid inside of the thermometer – the red liquid rises as the temperature rises due to the liquid expanding up the tube, and falls with the temperature due to the liquid contracting back into the bulb at the bottom. Chances are you probably thought of the classic glass tube filled with red-dyed alcohol – replacing toxic mercury-filled instruments (Figure A). Think about what a thermometer looks like. You’re probably familiar with thermometers as they’re very common in our daily lives (indoor & outdoor temperature, body temperature, oven temperature, etc.). Aku shaper help1/11/2024 my advice is if you diont know the design aspect is suposed to do then dont use it. i shape a deep single through to the tail when required. from my experience speed is mostly about volume and rocker. as yet no one has satifactorily proved to me that they make the board go faster. Ĭoncaves feel squirty and can offer a bit more control on steep faces. huie told me you cant really have to much tail rocker ina shortboard and i believe him 2 1/2 to 3 inches is great for snaps under the lip. but feel a bit slugish for snap cutbacks and also i catch rail on roundhouse cutbacks with wide tail boards. i find these wide tails boards are good for top to bottom surifng 80s style. however i do require a board to snap cutback under the lip so for this reason i pull the tails on all my outlines. i dont mind putting effort into turns and drawing them out. it would be easy to turn and in that respect my turn would be less drawn out with less power. but i would not enjoy surfing this kind of board. it would be a 6 6 by 19 with a rocker of about 5 5. i can ride a modern outline shortboard designed for my hight and ability. if your rocker entry is around 22 to 26 mm at the 12 inch mark you should be in the ballpark. i tend to ride boards my hight or less and prefer these sort of retro outlines. 5 1/4 is plenty for just about as hollow waves as you want. I keep my shortboard rockers around 4 1/2 to 5 depending on waves. a fish nose rocker can be as low as 3inches. fish have wider tails lower tail rockers and straiter rail in the tail and very different fin setup. A modern thruster can have a fish rocker entry but go nothing like a fish. i really didnt start making noiticeable inroads into speed tunning until i looked seriously at rocker entry in relation to surfers center of gravity and stance width. its hard to really work it out on a program as i shape it by eye and measure. Hi mike i have found over the years and i got this stuff from mike daniel, was to look at rocker entry more closely. If anyone happens to have copies of these that is willing to share that would be great! I have been working on a POD sort of design and something similar to the RNF, which I will submit soon! It's a very exciting era of surfing that we live in, despite the ever growing popuarity of the sport, and we all know there is nothing better than surfing that "magic" board! So if you have knowledge you would like to share, feel free to post your ideas on this thread! Look forward to seeing what you guys are working on! Off this topic, I offer accomodation to surfers that want to travel to South Africa. In specific I am interested in Designs similar to some of the Lost boards, such as the RNF, Monkfish, Rocket etc. I think this will be a great way for shapers around the world to share their knowledge with each other. I was wanting to start a platform on this site to exchange designs of surfboards designed on various sofware packages such as AKU shaper, Shape3D etc. Outset cast iron shrimp pan1/11/2024 Make a risk-free purchase as this product comes with a 3-year exchange or money back manufacturer warranty.

Macronutrients and Caloriesįrom the viewpoint of macronutrient compositions, these vegetables are similar however, yam is a little denser in nutrients, consisting of 70% water and 30% nutrients. The average serving size per person is one cup of cubed vegetables, which weighs 136g for yams and 200g for sweet potatoes. The information below is presented for 100g servings of sweet potato and yam, baked without salt. It seems essential to emphasize that sweet potatoes and yams are also different in terms of nutrition. It first started in the 30s of the 20th Century, when Louisiana farmers had marketed their sweet potatoes as “yam” to differentiate them from the other types of sweet potatoes growing in other states.Īccording to another version, enslaved Africans in the US had called the local sweet potatoes “nyami,” which became yam, owing to the resemblance with the true yams they had known in Africa. There are a few reasons for the sweet potato and yam confusion. Yams originated in Asia and Africa nowadays, they are common in the Caribbean and Central America. The skin is rough and bark-like, while the flesh is white, yellow, purple or pink, starchy, dry, and less sweet. Sweet potatoes originated in South and Central America. The flavor of the flesh is sweet, and the texture is moist and juicy. The flesh also varies depending on the type, from purple and orange to white. Sweet potatoes are tapered and prolonged vegetables covered with smooth skin, the color of which varies from beige, yellow, orange, or red to purple or brown. Main Differencesīoth sweet potato and yam are tuber vegetables. So, as you can already guess from what has been said, sweet potatoes and yams are completely different vegetables, although they have some similarities, and their names are sometimes used interchangeably. Furthermore, there’s a chance you’ve never tasted or even seen real yam unless you bought it in specialized ethnic or international markets. Most people have at least once seen a tuberous root vegetable named yam in US supermarkets, but oftentimes it is actually a type of sweet potato.

Keystrokes per hour average1/11/2024 Activity analysis has shown that people who type faster than average tend to practice 3 times longer than those who have average or below average wpm speeds. Let's repeat that, just to make sure it sinks in. Practice is the key factor in becoming a professional typist, or a typist of any appreciable skill. The desired accuracy for professional typing positions is around 97% or higher. The average accuracy for a typist is around 92%, meaning they make 8 mistakes for every 100 words typed. You can take a typing test online at any time to test your skills and find out if you are faster than the average typist. This seems a little odd, because statistics show that girls actually enjoy practicing their typing skills more than boys do. This is slightly faster than for girls, who clock in at 37 wpm, a full 7 word per minute slower. The average typing speed for boys is 44 words per minute. However, it is considered a good typing speed. This is far below the speeds of the record holders, or even the speeds that are needed to be successful in the working world. The average wpm speed is only 41.4 words in one minute. Currently, the fastest English language typist is Barbara Blackburn, who reached a peak typing speed of 212 wpm during a test in 2005, using a Dvorak simplified keyboard. The highest typing speed ever recorded was 216 words per minute (wpm), set by Stella Pajunas in 1946, using an IBM electric typewriter. What is the average typing speed on the keyboard? Who types the fastest? How can your typing speed help you get a better job offer? You will get the answer to all these questions and more in this infographic. Caffeinated hot chocolate1/11/2024 If you’re looking for a chocolate substitute that doesn’t contain any harmful substances, carob is an excellent choice. Cocoa is naturally caffeinated, whereas carob is not. It is difficult for people who are caffeine sensitive or who want to reduce caffeine consumption to cope with this. When dopamine and caffeine combine to form caffeine withdrawal symptoms, caffeine and theobromine can both raise anxiety levels. Coffee has a lot of health benefits, including the prevention of chronic diseases such as liver disease and Type 2 diabetes.īecause the stimulants found in Nestle Cocoa Powder can be harmful to some people, it may be beneficial to them. Many foods and beverages contain flavonoids, plant-based vitamins found in cocoa beans. Cocoa’s nutrition benefits over coffee in a head-to-head comparison. If you consume more than 400 mg of caffeine per day, it is possible that your coffee consumption will be reduced. Starbucks’ hot chocolate contains 25 milligrams (mg) of caffeine per 16-ounce cup. When it comes to the caffeine content of your cup of chocolate, the brand of hot cocoa mix you use determines how much caffeine you get. Caffeine can be reduced by adding decaf to chocolate powder or other drinks. Cocoa beverages are frequently thought of as calming during the winter months, but they can also be used as an afternoon pick-me-up. According to the Nestle website, one envelope of Nestle Hot Cocoa Mix contains 10 mg of caffeine.Ĭaffeine, a naturally occurring stimulant, is used to provide you with a sense of energy. Is There Caffeine In Nestle Hot Cocoa Mix?Ĭredit: Yes, there is caffeine in Nestle Hot Cocoa Mix. White hot chocolate is a caffeine-free beverage that is made with cocoa butter rather than chocolate solids, as indicated above. Because cocoa beans contain caffeine, a large mug of hot cocoa can provide you with up to 25 mg of caffeine. Cocoa powder is thought to have a higher caffeine content than regular hot chocolate. Powdered hot chocolate mixes contain a very low caffeine content, ranging from 0 to 5mg, making them ready-to-drink. Despite the fact that it contains far less caffeine than hot chocolate mixes, it is still significantly more caffeine than other energy drinks.Ī cup of Stephen’s Mexican Hot Chocolate contains approximately 1 mg of caffeine, comparable to a cup of coffee. Starbucks serves hot chocolate that contains approximately 15 mg of caffeine per 8 oz serving (approximately 155 mg of caffeine in the same serving size as their Pike’s Place coffee). Caffeine is found in Abuelita hot chocolate. Caffeine content in Nestle’s Hot Chocolate ranges between 190 and 200 milligrams. A cup of Starbucks hot chocolate contains significantly more caffeine than a cup of chocolate made only with cocoa. Cocoa powder is generally used to make hot chocolate that is less caffeinated.

So if you’re looking for a hot chocolate that won’t keep you up all night, Abuelita is a good choice. This is still relatively low compared to other caffeinated beverages like coffee, which can contain upwards of 100 milligrams of caffeine per cup. So, if we assume that the average Abuelita hot chocolate bar contains the same amount of caffeine as a milk chocolate bar, we can estimate that a cup of Abuelita hot chocolate contains about 27 milligrams of caffeine. A 1.55 ounce bar of milk chocolate, for example, contains about 9 milligrams of caffeine. The main ingredient in Abuelita hot chocolate is chocolate, which contains caffeine. But how much caffeine is in Abuelita hot chocolate? While the exact caffeine content of Abuelita hot chocolate is not publicly available, we can make some educated guesses based on the ingredients. This Mexican chocolate brand has been around for generations, and is beloved for its rich, intense flavor. When it comes to hot chocolate, there are few brands more iconic than Abuelita. Sumdog game play junkpile1/11/2024 Since Sumdog is configured to follow a typical, standards-based progression of skills and topics, such as might be found in a public school, it can theoretically place a student in the beginning, middle or end of a grade level based on their performance, which is fairly impressive.Ī student with a score of 4.5, for example, means that the program believes them to be at about 50% of the way through a 4th grade curriculum and will start them off somewhere in the middle of a grade level by default. This is essentially an assessment of the student’s performance compared to a standards-aligned curriculum in math or language arts. In these placement tests students are given a series of questions to answer.Ībout an hour or so in maximum length, the diagnostic begins with 15 or so pre-test questions and then moves on to a 40 question portion.Īs long as their accuracy stays above 80%, students are given increasingly challenging questions until the program reaches a point where accuracy begins to reliably drop below this threshold, at which point a level is found.Īt the end of the diagnostic, a placement is given. Sumdog PlacementĪs an adaptive practice program, by and large Sumdog will place students at what it considers the appropriate level of difficulty in math, spelling and grammar based on their performance on diagnostic placement tests. Similarly, at least with the family editions, parents can also set the grade level, skills and topics that students should be working on.Īs a result Sumdog can naturally be used by students learning outside a typical grade progression, such as by precocious students and those in upper grades who are a bit behind or who need a skills refresher. The algorithm will analyze student responses and increase or decrease the level of difficulty, pace or even change the topical coverage based on their actual performance. That said, due to its adaptive algorithm, Sumdog is largely skills-based, focused more around a student’s actual demonstration of topical knowledge and ability rather than grade and age. What Ages Or Grades Is Sumdog Intended For?Īlthough founded in the UK, Sumdog has been adapted to the US market as well and offers Common Core and standards-aligned question banks for K-8 math, as well as K-6 language arts. Founded all the way back in 1994 in Scotland, Sumdog is an interactive, online drill and practice program that uses video games to help students sharpen key skills in a more enjoyable manner.Ĭovering math and language arts, Sumdog provides a personalized learning experience through a sophisticated adaptive algorithm, changing the level of game difficulty and topical practice to match a student’s individual skill and ability.
