![]() Katherine Johnson was at the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton, Va. Currently, the NASA archives contain more than 25 scientific reports on space flight history authored or co-authored by Johnson, the largest number by any African-American or woman. In 1960, her efforts helped her become the first African-American and the first woman to have her name on a NASA research report. She also had to be “assertive and aggressive” about receiving credit for her contributions to research at NASA. ![]() In 1940, she agreed to serve as one of three carefully selected students to desegregate West Virginia University’s graduate program. Long before psychologist Angela Duckworth called attention to the power of passion and perseverance in the form of grit, Katherine Johnson modeled this stalwart characteristic. She used these analytical skills to verify the computer calculations for John Glenn’s orbit around the earth and to help determine the trajectory for the 1969 Apollo 11 flight to the moon, among others. Mathematics concepts build on one another and the mathematics she learned in this class helped her in her work at NASA many years later. Once Johnson completed the standard mathematics curriculum at West Virginia State College, Claytor created advanced classes just for her, including a course on analytic geometry. In the 1930s, a little over 100 American women counted themselves as professional mathematicians.īarack Obama awarded Katherine Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015. Claytor encouraged Katherine to become a research mathematician. Schieffelin Claytor, the third African American to earn a Ph.D. While there, she had the good fortune to learn from W. Johnson graduated from West Virginia State College at the age of 18. ![]() Thirteen years older than Johnson, she modeled a life of possibility. King taught Johnson geometry and encouraged her mathematical pursuits. King taught at the laboratory high school while she worked to become one of the first African-American women to earn masters degrees in math and chemistry. While at West Virginia State, Johnson took classes with Angie Turner King. Johnson entered West Virginia State College High School as a preteen and enrolled at the age of 14. Because there was no high school for African-American children in their hometown of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, the family relocated to Institute, West Virginia, during the school year.

There’s also a replaceable B-knuckle cover and outer link. These new XX SL, XX, and XO derailleurs are “engineered as integrated, interdependent Transmission components the T-Type derailleur mounts around the wheel axle itself, contacting the cassette directly with a first-of-its-kind Hangerless Interface.” This, as SRAM point out, creates a far stronger connection as the mech mounts directly to both sides of the bike frame and the axle.Īll three levels feature an integrated overload clutch, which essentially decouples the motorized internals in an impact to prevent damage. Should you choose to use just a few parts on their own – like just adding a Transmission derailleur to your existing Eagle AXS drivetrain – SRAM claims that Transmission will not function properly for reasons described below. To maximize and optimize the capabilities of Transmission, you must outfit your bike with the complete component suite-an ecosystem, if you will-consisting of derailleur, crankset, chainring, chain, and controllers. ![]() Instead, the derailleur is attached directly to the bike frame and tensioned through a straightforward setup method as seen in this video and/or with the assistance of SRAM’s new mobile app which bases tension on a number of factors including bike model, chainstay length, chainring size, etc. This isn’t just a few tweaks to the existing Eagle AXS, rather, it is an entirely new system with all new parts in-as SRAM describes-a rethinking of “the entire interface between frame, wheel, and drivetrain.” With no derailleur hanger or adjustment screws, the aim of this system is to allow “flawless shifting under maximum power.” That’s right: no separate hanger and no limit screws. Well, Eagle Transmission is that something. ![]() With SRAM’s adoption of the Universal Derailleur Hanger a few years ago, we knew something new was coming. Today, however, let’s take a look at product highlights and some initial thoughts about these new components after a few rides on a Santa Cruz Megatower test bike that SRAM sent us a couple of weeks ago. As such there’s a lot to unpack here, which we expect to dive deeper into during the next few months of Transmission-equipped bike reviews. SRAM also released an all-new Stealth lever body for their Level and Code brake lineup. This hefty product launch encompasses derailleurs, cranksets, cassettes, shift controllers, and more across XX SL Eagle, XX Eagle, and XO Eagle levels along with power meter and e-bike-specific components. After months of leaks, spottings, and speculation, SRAM unveiled their newest wireless mountain groupset, Eagle Transmission, along with a collection of Stealth Brakes. 9/28/2023 0 Comments Atera online backup![]() Advanced Disaster Recovery - Acronis Hosted Public IP Address.Advanced Disaster Recovery - Acronis Hosted Compute point.Advanced Disaster Recovery - Hybrid Storage.Advanced Disaster Recovery - Acronis Hosted Storage.The two main products are (for both per-workload and per-GB plans):Īdditionally, you can purchase the following Advanced Protection add-on features (for both per-workload and per-GB plans): The per-workload plan is based on the total number of workloads (physical servers, workstations, virtual machines, etc), as well as native cloud storage used. ![]() There is no limit on the number of devices you can protect.
9/28/2023 0 Comments Disappearing messages viberThe Disappearing Messages feature is another example of Viber’s commitment to offering a secure messaging app where users can be confident in the privacy of their conversations at every touchpoint. Personal and group chats on Viber are end-to-end encrypted, so users can be sure that their communications are always private and secure. The feature can be applied to any type of message, including photos and stickers.įor example, if a group of people have been invited to a house party, the code to get in the gate can be sent in a group chat as a message set to disappear one minute after users have read the message. For earlier versions of Android and all iOS users, group chat members will be automatically notified if any member takes a screenshot of a message set to disappear. On devices using Android 6 or newer, Viber will completely disable forwarding, copying, or taking a screenshot of a message when the disappearing option is activated. ![]() With the expanded functionality, Viber users can set messages in a group chat to disappear 10 seconds, one minute, one hour, or one day after being read, offering more options than with the disappearing message features of other apps. While other messaging apps offer the same option for all messages in a group chat, Viber allows each group chat member to decide whether they want a message to disappear right before sending it or not-the setting is not automatically applied to all messages. This is why Viber, a leading app for free and easy communication, has expanded its Disappearing Messages feature to include group chats within the app, giving users more control over their data and privacy.Ī feature that was previously available only for one-on-one chats, Viber’s Disappearing Messages in group chats is unlike others. It won’t hurt to add another layer of protection to our safe spaces. ![]() Amid increasing cases of identity theft and other online threats, we can never be too careful.

They have been generated elsewhere and sometimes previously. Swell consists of wind-generated waves that are not significantly affected by the local wind at that time. A noteworthy example of this is waves generated south of Tasmania during heavy winds that will travel across the Pacific to southern California, producing desirable surfing conditions. After moving out of the area of fetch, wind waves are called swells and can travel thousands of kilometers. Wind waves will travel in a great circle route after being generated – curving slightly left in the southern hemisphere and slightly right in the northern hemisphere. When directly generated and affected by local wind, a wind wave system is called a wind sea. Wind waves on Earth range in size from small ripples to waves over 30 m (100 ft) high, being limited by wind speed, duration, fetch, and water depth. Waves in the oceans can travel thousands of kilometers before reaching land. The contact distance in the direction of the wind is known as the fetch. In fluid dynamics, a wind wave, or wind-generated water wave, is a surface wave that occurs on the free surface of bodies of water as a result of the wind blowing over the water's surface. ![]() A man standing next to large ocean waves at Porto Covo, Portugal Video of large waves from Hurricane Marie along the coast of Newport Beach, California For other uses, see Ocean Wave (disambiguation). These events serve as reminders that motion in our seemingly tranquil universe can unleash great violence with little warning."Ocean wave" redirects here. And just the other day, in cosmic terms, a vast stretch of forest near the Tunguska River in Siberia was flattened in 1908 when some object-probably a small comet-detonated in the air with the force of a 10-megaton bomb. A mile-wide crater in the Arizona desert bears witness to an impact 50,000 years ago by a rock as wide as a football field. However, an asteroid did sneak through 65 million years ago, gouging a deep hole near Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula and probably dooming the dinosaurs. Without Jupiter's tendency to sweep aside intruders such as incoming comets, Earth almost certainly would be more heavily bombarded. In one of the ironies of nature, Jupiter's disruptive presence in our solar system is also a blessing. Scientists think the destroyer came from space, probably a small comet that detonated in midair. If any of the 12 largest pieces had struck Earth, the human race probably would have been obliterated.Ī blast with the force of a 10-megaton bomb flattened trees in the Tunguska region of Siberia in 1908. The seventh fragment exploded with an energy equivalent to 6 million megatons of TNT-nearly 1,000 times the power of all the nuclear weapons on Earth-and created a fireball 2,000 miles high. ![]() Several of them carved dark, long-lived scars in the atmosphere while blasting plumes of gas thousands of miles into space. The fragments took a week to slam into the planet, one after the other. By July 1994 the chain was over a million miles long. Astronomers eagerly set up their telescopes for the first recorded collision of objects in the solar system. Orbital calculations revealed that these pieces would plow directly into Jupiter on their next pass by the planet. The planet's intense tidal forces had torn the comet into 21 pieces, each about a mile wide, and stretched them into a 100,000-mile-long chain that looked like a string of pearls (page 58). They and their colleagues soon realized that the comet, named Shoemaker-Levy 9, was trapped by Jupiter's gravitational field. In 1993 the planetary scientists Eugene and Carolyn Shoemaker and the astronomer David Levy discovered a comet that looked strangely flattened. If you think that's frivolous, you need look no further than Jupiter itself. Nevertheless, astronomers hope to spot most of the truly dangerous ones-those measuring a half mile across or more-by early in the twenty-first century. Finding them is no easy task because they are faint and move quickly across the sky. An impact of this magnitude would have created huge ocean waves and a global dust cloud that blocked sunlight for years.Īpproach it closely.

The maximum copayment that Medicaid may charge is based on what the state pays for that service, as described in the following table. Maximum Nominal Out of Pocket CostsĬost sharing for most services is limited to nominal or minimal amounts. In addition, Medicaid enrollees may be denied services for nonpayment of alternative copayments. Alternative out of pocket costs may be higher than nominal charges depending on the type of service, and they are subject to a cap not exceeding 5 percent of family income. These charges may be targeted to certain groups of Medicaid enrollees with income above 100 percent of the federal poverty level. States have the option to establish alternative out of pocket costs. Because Medicaid covers particularly low-income and often very sick patients, services cannot be withheld for failure to pay, but enrollees may be held liable for unpaid copayments. Exempted groups include children, terminally ill individuals, and individuals residing in an institution. Generally, out of pocket costs apply to all Medicaid enrollees except those specifically exempted by law and most are limited to nominal amounts. Out of pocket costs cannot be imposed for emergency services, family planning services, pregnancy-related services, or preventive services for children. All out of pocket charges are based on the individual state’s payment for that service. States can impose copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and other similar charges on most Medicaid-covered benefits, both inpatient and outpatient services, and the amounts that can be charged vary with income. ![]()
