The cheetah’s rapid acceleration allows it to quickly close the gap and catch its prey. Comparatively, a cheetah is around 2.7 times faster than the quickest human runner. Unfortunately, the cat’s sprinting distance is only about 0.28 miles. A cheetah can reach speeds of 69–75 miles per hour. In terms of ground speed, the cheetah is unrivaled.

There are more electricity providers than just Synergy who can supply electricity in Western Australia. The second network is anything else outside the SWIS.Īre there More Electricity Provider in Perth WA other than Synergy? We called the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) covering the area from Albany to Kalgoorlie. We have our own market, regulations and two networks. We are so remotely located we are not even connected to the national energy market. Regardless of how the other states in Australia are handling the electricity, Western Australia is a unique market. There is no need to upgrade the meter or the infrastructure, just like changing mobile providers from Telstra to Optus or someone else. The transfer process from one retailer to another is seamless and cost-effective. But, is this true in WA?įor instance, people on the east coast can take advantage of cheaper electricity contracts due to having abundant choices from electricity providers, such as Energy Australia, AGL and Origin Energy. Having choices is important, and there is a perception choice come with lower prices. As prices keep increasing every year and it’s getting increasingly more challenging to manage. Utility bills are one of the main concerns in people’s minds. The freedom to choose means competition among energy retailers to give competitive deals to win the customer’s business. In contrast, most residents in other parts of Australia enjoy the freedom to choose their preferred electricity providers. But is it? The answer is YES.Ĭurrently, people think that Synergy is the only electricity provider in Perth. ![]() As a Commercial Energy Specialist, people often ask me if it is possible to switch to another electricity provider.

![]() Alice regains hearing and a voice she never had and performs miracles through a power granted by the Virgin Mary. Fenn realizes it’s a hoax but winds up stumbling upon an even bigger case through a series of events that lead him to deaf, mute teen Alice ( Cricket Brown ). Cut to the present, where disgraced journalist Gerry Fenn ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan ) ventures into the small town of Banfield, Massachusetts, to investigate a strange case. From the POV of an unseen yet terrified woman, the viewer looks through an iron mask as men surround her, hammer the mask into her flesh, then set her ablaze. The Unholy removes all mystery behind its Virgin Mary-like entity from the opening scene set in 1845 New England. ![]() From the opening moments, though, it becomes evident that this latest entry in religious horror commits the cardinal sin of inducing boredom by way of tired tropes. At first glance, The Unholy, an adaptation of James Herbert’s 1983 novel Shrine, teases a new direction thanks to a town inundated by miracles attributed to a malevolent Virgin Mary. ![]() Mostly, these films tend to feature a lead character reclaiming their faith through a frightening confrontation with evil of the demonic or biblical variety. ![]() Solid 6 IMO due to acting and overall theme.Since The Exorcist’s release and subsequent success nearly fifty years ago, religious-based horror hasn’t deviated very often from the formula. But, hits a wall halfway through and never recovers. Entertaining for at least half the movie. It's like they spent a year recording the first half and a month on the second. Second half of the movie ignores the setup, ignores the characters and goes straight to the source of the problems. First half of the movie does a good setup job for the characters and direction. It provides the conclusions verses letting the audience figure them out. Even though the story felt like one we've seen a million times, I liked the premise and overall theme but the movie veers off and hits walls, then takes off at full speed before veering off into more walls. Directing and Editing were just OK and could have been better IMO. Of course, the movie didn't feel connected to itself after 52 minutes and goes wildly into warp speed conclusions. At times, it felt like the cast was not as connected to the movie as they could be. Cricket Brown was especially impressive because I believe this movie is one of her first larger productions and she gives the impression of being a pro in this department. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, William Sadler, Cary Elwes and Cricket Brown were all great. ![]() That all said, I think the cast was good. I'll admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for horror movies based around religion as generally they seem to be more interesting to me. However, it's definitely a fairly original take on the classic horror genre (demonic/possession). likely had an issue with the script and pacing. I think people that are genuine and gave the movie a low score. Almost like two different directors made this movie. Second half, feels like a rush to the finish line. First half sets things up and it's creepy and exactly what you'd expect. First half of the movie feels like a different flick than the second half. While The Unholy is DEFINITELY not a 10 or a 9. ![]() ![]() ![]() how much time and money i am given for a project. There are projects that I have worked on which required the application or website to be more user friendly and easy to navigate, and that's where manual testing usually takes priority since I can get a first hand experience as a user. When it comes to testing fundamental and important parts of an application or website I would also use automation rather than manual as it is usually more reliable. Manual testing is great when I'm running only one or two testsAutomation testing saves me a lot of time and effort when running the same tests over. Manual vs automated testing automation is usually the best to use. They can be a little time consuming to write but are essential to keep you organized and possibly avoid retesting and debugging. I write my test cases in a spreadsheet using microsoft excel. ![]() I make sure to include the purpose of the test, any software or hardware requirements, specific setup requirements, description of how I perform the tests, and the results that are expected. It usually consists of the three parts: information, activity, and results. What is a test case A test case is a set of conditions and inputs that are developed to meet a goal for a certain application so that we can determine its capabilities. The two types of scopes which a variable can have is global scope and local scope What is a framework? Framework is a set of guidelines. The scope of a variable is affected by where and how it is declared. It also helps determine which functions and objects have access to that variable. What method do you use to check the existence of an object on the screen? Object Repository OR (I use the GetROProperty Method) If script A has to be called in Script B and Script C what do you mark Script A as? Reusable action What is Scope of a variable The scope of a variable in a function helps determine where that variable can be used in the function. To retrieve properties for a TO and RO object is by performing GetROProperty and GetTOProperty. RO (runtime object) is the actual object in the app, during run time. How can unexpected popup messages be handled using QTP? By either utilizing recovery scenario or adding 'optional step' to test script line What is the difference between TO and RO? How do you retrieve properties or a TO and RO project? TO (test object) is an object created by QTP to represent the actual object in the App. A function processes the argument and gives you a return. A sub is helpful for performing a part of a test multiple times and instruction purposes as well. What is a function? What is the difference between a function and a subroutine/sub? A function is the same as a subroutine, the only difference being that it returns a value and a sub does not. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for your insights on this - I'd really love an authoritative explanation. However, I don't think they would be a big effect until you get to extreme designs and very fast beams. I can see these possibly giving a small color shift with focal ratio (and also with field position). ![]() You also change thickness of the glass through which the beam travels. As you change the focal ratio, you change the distribution of angles at each surface. However, coating efficiency changes with incident angle. I think you'd see something this large with your naked eye, looking at the lens from the front, and it should certainly be visible with a macro lens. For a 50/1.4, the aperture is about 35 mm in diameter, so we're talking about a 1/3 mm difference in radius between red and blue. However, quantitatively, in order for this to be noticeable the effect would have to be say 2% in area and so about 1% in radius. You can imagine a large chromatic aberration between the object and the iris that, effectively, means that the iris appears to be bigger in the red and smaller in the blue. I can understand qualitatively what you're describing, but I don't think it makes sense quantitatively. I've not got your vast experience with old lenses, but I do have a fair bit of experience with laboratory and astronomical optics. I find this odd and at odds with the constant demand for “better” kit. At least B&W can be acknowledged for its technical capture objectivity without our brain needing to see a happier cast or saturation level to fully appreciate it. That is why happy more saturated warmer images are so popular.Īnd here we are constantly fussing over the ability to make perfect images. The human eye-brain relationship is quite happy to believe that any image within reason is “correct” as far as cast and saturation is concerned no matter how “unreal” to the actual true life it might be. But good “art” nevertheless and a worthy challenge winner. The side screen image in Finished Challenges of an excellent (posed?) kite-boarder in action without a drop of water in sight, perfect flowed hair and over-saturated over-hdr applied style is a very fine image but “real life”? Maybe not. Maybe it is better but one might wonder if this was simply swayed by popular demand for something a little warmer than natural. To the point where Panasonic has more recently revised its saturation levels and has now received plaudits for their excellent colour balance. Similarly Olympus has always been praised for its slightly over-saturated images whilst Panasonic has been criticised for its less saturated colours. He had a run-away popular business and he explained to me that the demand for the big bright highly saturated prints was so high that he was having trouble fitting a matte finish sequence in. In any case within 12 months he was having his matte finish product reduced to once per week when he had saved up enough film to be worth changing his chemicals. He charged much the same and introduced me to the matte finish product which was more true to life colours. Many years ago when photolabs were in their infancy the first one in our little city was started by a client of mine and probably pushed my interest in photography off to its first floundering start.īut in any case he produced two types of prints - cheap bright finish glossy highly saturated ones that quickly showed fingerprints, and also matte finish with more subdued much more natural colours that had a harder surface and fingerprints could not be seen. Maybe it is inbuilt into our genes - warm and comfortable with richer colours is “happy”? This is a subject in its own right - not the one of just why sensors and lenses give different casts and staturations - but the one on just why most people prefer more saturation and warmer casts than real life representation. The interesting thing is that many of us likethe incorrectly warm coloring. In such a case, stopping down trims off the rays that are missing blue, thus restoring the natural coloring of the scene. It is thus fairly common that blue light from the edges of the lens doesn't get where you want it, causing a warm color shift. Index of refraction isn't the same for all wavelengths. Lenses are designed for two or more visible wavelengths to focus at the same point in the same plane, but that doesn't ensure things are well-behaved between or before or after those wavelengths. I'm not knowledgeable enough about optics to really explain it, but here goes - please somebody correct whatever I get wrong. Oddly enough, it's pretty common that lenses show less blue near wide open - you might see a significant color shift simply stopping down the same lens! ![]() ![]() ![]() The median and interquartile range of nursing knowledge, attitude, and practice on COVID-19 were 8 (2), 16 (3), and 14 (2), respectively. Each question is scored on four levels, ranging from 1 point to 4 points. There are four nursing practice questions. The practice section includes implementing nursing in accordance with the nursing requirements of infectious diseases, preventing cross-infection consciously, changing daily manner of work to meet the needs during COVID-19, and adapting to psychological changes of patients actively. Each question is scored on five levels, ranging from 1 point to 5 points. The attitude section includes a self-assessment of knowledge mastery, the desire to learn more knowledge, the influence of emotional state on nursing quality, and the ability and confidence to nursing care for COVID-19. ![]() There are 10 knowledge-related questions, 1 point for each correct answer, with a total score of 10 points. The knowledge section includes suspected patient care, confirmed patient care, specimen collection, psychological care, and discharge guidance. The second part assessed the KAP of nursing staff. The first part is general information including age, educational background, work experience, hospital rank, and workplace (outpatient clinics and emergency departments, fever clinics, isolation wards, and general wards). The questionnaire is composed of two parts. The questions were designed based on “COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment scheme (seventh edition),” “COVID-19 prevention and control program (sixth edition),” “COVID-19 laboratory testing technology guide (fifth edition)” and “COVID-19 psychological counseling work plan,” which were issued by the National Health Commission of China and were revised and verified by five frontline medical experts from a designated hospital of COVID-19. The self-designed questionnaire includes basic information, nursing knowledge, nursing attitude, and nursing practice on COVID-19 care. The purpose of the study is to understand the nursing staffs' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) on COVID-19 and its influencing factors, which can provide a basis for further targeted improvement measures, and provide references for subsequent relevant training or policy-making to improve the quality of clinical nursing. Attitude and practice of nursing staff also affect the progression and prognosis of the disease. As a new respiratory infectious disease, COVID-19-related nursing care involves new knowledge and contents. The model of KAP is divided into three continuous processes that help to explain human behavior. As of February 18, 2020, when we conducted the survey, a total of 1,173 confirmed cases were reported in Zhejiang province and 544 were discharged from hospitals ( 4). The first case of COVID-19 reported by the Health Commission of Zhejiang Province was on January 21, 2020. It is located between 118☀1′-123☁0′ E and 27☀2′-31☁1′ N, is economically developed, with an area of 105,500 km 2 and a population of about 50 million, and consists of 11 municipalities. ![]() Zhejiang province locates on the east coast of China, which was one of the regions hit hardest when COVID-19 broke out in China. As of April 29, 2020, there were nearly 3 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 202,733 deaths according to the WHO, reported by 213 countries around the world ( 3). The World Health Organization (WHO) named it Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and declared it a pandemic ( 2). It is necessary to take measures to enhance the training on COVID-19, especially for KAP of junior nurses in general wards.Īt the end of December 2019, a novel coronavirus pneumonia case appeared in Wuhan, China ( 1). However, the accuracy of psychological nursing knowledge was much lower, 14.3% only. The findings indicated that KAP of nursing staff scored well. The survey was conducted on February 18, 2020, among 7,716 voluntary participants from 143 medical institutions in Zhejiang, China. The aim of this study is to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) care among nursing staff and analyze its influencing factors. ![]() ![]() ![]() One experiment, designed to accelerate the rate of cell regeneration seen in some species of lizards, turned disastrous - the "Biolizard" subject grew ten times its normal size and became violent, nearly killing several scientists before being contained. ![]() The top-secret "Project Shadow" (as it became to be known due to the secrecy of the research) took place on the Space Colony known as ARK and began researching the effects of Chaos Emeralds on living tissue. But when his niece, Maria Robotnik, contracted the terminal (and as-of-yet incurable) disease NIDS (Neuro-Immuno Deficiency Syndrome), Gerald reconsidered the project as a means to extend her life. Gerald initially refused, comparing it to to playing God. A summary of the report follows:ĥ0 years ago, the current President of Nations contracted Professor Gerald Robotnik to research the possibility of immortality. Rouge's ReportĪfter Sonic Adventure 2 hit retail, SonicTeam published the Official Sonic Adventure 2 Strategy Guide in Japan, which contained "The Last Report on Project Shadow", written by the in-game character Rouge the Bat, in an effort to uncover the mystery of who - or what Shadow is, and where he came from. Before Sonic can engage Shadow in battle, however, Shadow vanishes in to thin air using a power called "Chaos Control", leaving Sonic surrounded by dozens of fully-armed G.U.N soldiers. Putting two and two together, Sonic assumes the Military is mistaking Shadow for Sonic (and vice versa), and this "fake" Hedgehog is the reason Sonic is in so much trouble. Unaware of what is going on, Sonic attempts to avoid capture when he encounters Shadow the Hedgehog, who is in the middle of stealing a Chaos Emerald. "I'm outta here!"Ī week later, Sonic the Hedgehog finds himself on the run from the Military Organization, G.U.N (Guardian Unit of Nations), who claim Sonic is a dangerous criminal. Now free, Shadow promises to grant Doctor Eggman one wish - but first he must meet him at the Space Colony ARK. What he finds instead is a black hedgehog, claiming his name is Shadow. Eggman unseals his grandfather's greatest invention, Project Shadow, for the first time in 50 years. After some time, Chao can evolve to adult forms that depend on what type of character, Hero or Dark, was used to raise it and what stat is the highest. To do so, players can collect Chaos Drives, animals, or feed the Chao fruit. In order to do well, it is important to raise the Chao's skills. After hatching Chao, they can participate in Chao Races and Chao Karate. After unlocking Chao World, it can also be accessed from the mission selection screen. After levels, players are able to find Chao Boxes that contain a key to enter Chao World after completing the level. ![]() In terms of gameplay, both sport similar styles (though Dark assumes that the Hero campaign has been completed first, and is noticeably more difficult in comparison) Sonic/Shadow stages focus on running through stages that have been streamlined for speed, Tails/Eggman stages feature their characters piloting mechanical walking units with ballistic/missile capabilities, and Knuckles/Rouge stages deal with their characters flying around enormous stages to find objects (usually shards of the Master Emerald) in groups of three, usually to eclectic and interesting music.Īn additional feature of Sonic Adventure 2 was the inclusion of an improved Chao Garden from the original Sonic Adventure. Where Sonic Adventure 2's predecessor was focused on telling a multilayered story with numerous protagonists, this game took a more refined approach instead of selecting which individual character to play as when starting the adventure, the choice was only between which faction to play, "Hero" (featuring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) or "Dark" (featuring Shadow, Eggman, and Rouge), and experiencing the same events from the perspective of either set of characters. The game most notably introduced two major characters: Shadow the Hedgehog, a black hedgehog with upward-curled quills, amnesia problems, and a singular focus on finding out his reason for existence, and Rouge the Bat, a large-breasted treasure hunter who harbors a healthy obsession with jewels, both of whom appear in more subsequent games than any new character introduced afterward. Sonic Adventure 2 was one of the final Dreamcast releases to come directly from Sega before the system was discontinued in 2001 the game was slightly tweaked and ported to the GameCube shortly afterward, sporting new battle modes and Game Boy Advance connectivity, and furthered the precedent set by Sonic Advance of Sonic the Hedgehog appearing for the first time on a Nintendo system. ![]() ![]() ![]() The mixed fertilizer should be used in a day or two.
