![]() ![]() ![]() Apollo further learns what it means to be human and we see an expansion of the world we’re already familiar with. Trials of Apollo: The Dark Prophecy does feel like it’s a stepping stone to the next book, but it offers plenty on its own. He has a way of making his stories about people first and foremost, not the labels society places upon them. It never feels forced in fact it feels like a truer snapshot of the world than most books ever attempt to display. There are plenty of new characters as well, and the author continues his trend of portraying life’s diversity, whether that’s to do with skin color, sexual orientation, or religion. He always finds a way to balance the silly with the serene. They pose a powerful threat, although they’re instilled with Riordan’s typical humor. We also get more history lessons in the form of the Roman emperors of old. We meet new gods with interesting quirks and formidable powers. It wouldn’t be a Rick Riordan book without plenty of mythology, and you get that in The Dark Prophecy. Apollo and Calypso’s relationship is particularly interesting, especially as we see them grow as friends. Leo and Calypso’s greatest moments are when they’re together, although Riordan does a fine job of reminding us they each have their own personality and talents. He’s a work in progress, and this book continues that journey for him. Apollo leads the charge as an arrogant albeit good god-turned-human. The second book in the Trials of Apollo series is here and it brings back the faces we’ve gotten accustomed to for the latest installment in the Percy Jackson world. Come along for what promises to be a harrowing, hilarious, and haiku-filled ride…Īmazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound | Goodreads Fortunately, what he lacks in godly graces he’s gaining in new friendships–with heroes who will be very familiar to fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series. ![]() What is affecting the Oracles, and how can Apollo/Lester do anything about them without his powers? After experiencing a series of dangerous–and frankly, humiliating–trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester must now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and embark on a hair-raising journey across North America. The only way Apollo can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have gone dark. Zeus has punished his son Apollo–god of the sun, music, archery, poetry, and more–by casting him down to earth in the form of a gawky, acne-covered sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of a now-mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar demigod faces from Camp Half-Blood.Read our review of The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan and enter a giveaway to win a copy of the book, along with a Trials of Apollo journal and pen!

Somewhere in the American Midwest is a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his quest to become a god again. He and his companions seek the ancient oracles - restoring them is the only way for Apollo to reclaim his place on Mount Olympus - but this is easier said than done.

As much as head-to-head matchups can prove to be meaningless in debates, it is still a fun stat to look at who had the worst luck against an all-time great.If KU football had any chance of pulling an upset in Morgantown, the offensive line would have to make a statement with their performance. That is just the way it worked when you battled with the greatest to ever do it. If you got the best of him once, you could expect an all-time great performance the next time you saw him. He was the ultimate winner, leader, scorer, and soul crusher. There are only a handful of players in NBA history that can say they own a winning record against Jordan. The point is it didn’t matter who you were, Michael Jordan was going to find a way to will his team to victory more often than not. In 48 games head-to-head with Dominique Wilkins, Jordan notched victories 62.5% of the time. In 56 games against Reggie Miller, Jordan and the Bulls won 64.3% of the time. In 70 games against Patrick Ewing and the Knicks, Jordan won 70.0% of the time. Jordan sported some great winning percentages against Hall of Famers as well. The players above that Michael Jordan has undefeated records against are not ones that jump off the page and make you say “Wow! Jordan dominated the greats!”. ![]() Jordan’s Dominance On The Court Is Not Limited To Big Names He averaged 11.3 PPG and 6.8 APG on 45.5% shooting from the field. Jordan and the Bulls won all 16 matchups while Richardson struggled. In 16 games against Richardson, Jordan averaged 29.7 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 6.0 APG, and 1.9 SPG. He followed it up in 1992 with 16.5 PPG and 8.4 APG in 82 games played once again. In 1991 with Minnesota, Richardson averaged 17.1 PPG and 9.0 APG on the season in 82 games played. Richardson was a decent point guard in the early 90s for the Timberwolves, Pacers, and Clippers. Michael Jordan also had a perfect 16-0 record versus point guard Pooh Richardson. Jordan met Gatling 6 times in the postseason as well and was victorious in all 6 meetings. MJ’s opponent had some success too as he averaged 12.9 PPG and 5.7 RPG in the matchups. Jordan averaged 30.2 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 4.8 APG, and 2.1 SPG in his 16 wins versus Gatling. He averaged 19.0 PPG and 7.9 RPG in the 1996-97 season for the Mavericks and Nets. Gatling was a 1st round pick to the Warriors in 1991 and earned an All-Star appearance in 1997. Michael Jordan also went 16-0 against Chris Gatling during his NBA Career. Most of the games were when Douglas was with the Heat early in his career in 19 when Jordan was at his very best and it showed. Douglas started 20 of those contests and averaged 10.4 PPG, 5.0 APG, and 1.3 SPG. In 30 games against Douglas, Jordan averaged 29.7 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.4 APG, and 2.1 SPG on 53.3% shooting. Douglas’ presence in the East had him crossing paths with Michael Jordan more often than he had hoped. Sherman Douglas played 12 seasons with 5 different teams in his career, including the Heat, Celtics, Bucks, Nets, and Clippers. Nevertheless, Jordan has an undefeated record of at least 9-0 against 13 players throughout his NBA career. This list is not exactly a list of All-Star talent that furthers the GOAT conversation in Jordan’s favor. individual players.Ĭondition: Players must have played at least 9 games vs. ![]() Here are Michael Jordan’s best head-to-head records vs. ![]() In other words, ∠1 has a measure of 60° also. We know that lines l and m are parallel and crossed by transversal n, so alternate interior angles are congruent. First, we can extend these side lengths to better see the parallel lines at play here. Even if we don't know much about hexagons, we sure know about parallel lines and transversals, so let's use what we know. Since it's a regular hexagon (six-sided polygon), we know it's made up of sets of parallel lines. ![]() What is the total measure of all interior angles of this regular hexagon? Seeing these relationships among segments and angles makes it possible to find angle measures and side lengths in polygons. If we take another look at the perpendicular lines, we'll see that we have four sets of parallel lines here as well: a || d, b || g, c || f, and e || h. If two lines are perpendicular to the same line, we know that they're parallel. So perpendicular lines managed to sneak their way into shapes that don't even have 90° angles. Just the same, lines c and f are perpendicular to b and g. We can see that lines a and d are perpendicular to both e and h. If we extend the sides out, we can see clearly how the segments are related to each other. How many sets of parallel and perpendicular lines are there in a regular octagon?Ī regular octagon is made up of eight sides of the same length, and eight congruent angles (all of which measure 135°). A regular pentagon has no parallel or perpendicular sides, but a non-regular pentagon might have parallel and perpendicular sides. Lots of polygons will have no parallel or perpendicular sides, but some will have some.Īs we mentioned before, right triangles have perpendicular sides, rectangles have both perpendicular and parallel sides, but other quadrilaterals might not. Sample Problemĭo non-regular polygons have parallel or perpendicular sides? Parallel lines are equally popular, since every regular polygon with an even number of sides is made up of sets of parallel line segments. Rectangles, right trapezoids, and loads of other polygons have perpendicular line segments (including right triangles, which are special enough to have an entire chapter named after them). Many polygons have parallel and perpendicular sides. Squares are made up of two sets of parallel line segments, and their four 90° angles mean that those segments also happen to be perpendicular to one another. But what do they have to do with parallel and perpendicular lines? Parallel and Perpendicular Lines in Polygonsįine, polygons are everywhere.You already know this stuff, so we won't bore you with it. Triangles have 3 sides, quadrilaterals have 4, pentagons have 5, hexagons have 6, and so on. ![]() If we need to get more specific with describing polygons, we usually do so by the number of sides they have. Seriously, it's illegal not to, and traffic school ain't all it's cracked up to be. Don't forget to stop by and say hello when you pass it. We've seen regular polygons all our lives, from that triangle in music class, to the friendly red octagon around the corner. For any shape that has more than 4 sides, just put "regular" in front of the name (regular pentagon, regular hexagon, etc.) to indicate that it has routine bowel movements. Regular polygons include shapes like equilateral triangles and squares. If polygons have sides that are all equal in length, angles that are all equal in measure, and daily trips to the loo, we call them regular. Of course, that last one isn't specific to mathematicians. There are two things mathematicians simply can't stand: uncertainty and waiting in line at the DMV. Can you figure out why?Įven splitting up shapes into categories like "polygon" and "non-polygon" leaves a lot of room for uncertainty. Triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, and other more complicated shapes like the ones below are all examples of polygons. In order to be a polygon, a shape must be: A polygon is a closed two-dimensional shape that's made up of only straight line segments. ![]() Kathy's beautiful smile could light up the whole room.

In verifying she let me know that I bought my dehydrator on January 2, 2010. After explaining my problem, she verified that I had bought the machine through them by looking up the order records, all within seconds. Luckily, I had bought my dehydrator straight through the company and despite the initial 10 minute hold time the woman that helped me was, in fact, super helpful. I’ve always loved figuring how things work on my own and really hoped it was that kind of a fix. I consider myself lucky to have come from 2 crafty/mechanically inclined people. Extreme sad face! Three weeks ago, I finally called Excalibur to see if there was a quick fix they could trouble shoot with me over the phone. Starting back in December, I noticed my 5 tray Excalibur dehydrator’s timer was no longer counting down. I’m talking about knowing my dehydrator wasn’t quite working but just ‘hoping’ it would work itself out. Over time, you’ll be able to focus on your work for longer, because you are training your brain to work when you’re in the space you’ve set up for doing work.If you’re like me it means you put off projects that you know you can do and I’m not talking like my Dad that may take 20 years to finish the kitchen renovation he started.

![]() By reducing the amount of contact that the seat has with the disc, sealing becomes more efficient, and the life of the valve is extended. This seating surface creates a cone shape of the disc and seat that wedges into the seat with minimal contact between the sealing surfaces until the valve is fully closed. The third offset is the geometry of the seating surface. Exactly like a double-offset valve, the stem is located behind the disc and offset to one side (double offset). Triple-offset valves (TOVs) are applied in difficult services in which reliable performance under harsh conditions is required. Resilient and high-performance butterfly valves are used mainly in the water, chemical, and petrochemical industries and can also be used in fuel handling systems, power, and many other applications. These devices move the valve disc to the optimal position for complete shutoff or fully open the valve. Their corrosion-resistant, single-component thrust bearing and disc spacer reduces body wear and helps ensure positive centering of disc in the valve bore.īoth resilient and high-performance butterfly valves can be operated by handles, gears, or actuators. WKM valves include high-performance butterfly valves that are ideal for handling water, oil, steam, and gas in a cost-effective, lightweight design. The disc is positioned in the center of the pipe bore and arranged to increase sealing ability and decrease wear to the valve. The double-offset butterfly valve is used in systems requiring higher pressure resistance. This offset geometry enables the 90° disc rotation to rub over the seat for only 1° to 3° of the 90° rotation. With the high-performance butterfly valve, the second offset’s stem is moved once more off the center of the disc to one side. Similar to a single-offset design, the double-offset butterfly valve has a stem which is located behind the disc. The single offset of the stem causes the disc to contact the seat with 3° to 4° left to travel this design was enacted because less seat contact is thought to enable longer valve life.ĭouble-offset (high-performance) butterfly valves have a disc with two offsets and can be rated up to 1,480 psi. There are few, if any, valves of this type on the market today because of the development of the double-offset, or high-performance, valve. A great prep pose for bound/supported headstand is dolphin pose, so having a strong foundation in dolphin helps with feeling confidence in the full inversion.Single-offset butterfly valves have a stem that is located behind the disc. ![]() If headstands make you nervous, feel free to use a wall for support until you’re ready to invert on your own. If you’re more comfortable in a tripod headstand, come into that variation and then arrange your legs into butterfly. To get a deeper stretch in your hips, try to draw the knees further apart as you press your feet together.To take the butterfly variation of the pose, bend your knees out to the side and bring the soles of your feet together. When you’re ready, extend your legs up into a full headstand position.You can stay here for as long as you wish. Try to keep your bum in line with the rest of your body, keeping a long line in your spine and keeping your shoulders up and away from the floor. You can start by lifting your feet off the floor and bending your knees, bringing your heels towards your bum.As you inhale, lift your knees of the mat and walk your feet in closer towards your head so that you are in an inverted V position with your body.If this pose is new to you, your palms may be more tightly bound leaving little room for your head, and that’s ok! Set the crown of your head (the top of your head) on the floor so that the back of your head is cradled in your palms.Make sure that your elbows are shoulder width apart (you can check by releasing your hands and making sure you can touch each elbow with the opposite hand) and press your forearms into the mat. Bind your hands together, interlacing the fingers.Cat/cow pose is a great way to open up the body in preparation for this pose. Please note that if you have any heart conditions, back/neck injuries, high blood pressure or are menstuating, then inversions like sirsasana are not recommended. If at any time the feeling of being upside down gets to be too much, sit back, take a breath or two, and come back if and when you’re ready. Stimulates the lymphatic muscles and decreases fluid build up in the lower extremities.īefore attempting an inversion, make sure that you are warmed up. Strengthens the core, shoulders, and back. For this week’s guide, we’re going to go through the bound or supported variation of headstand salamba sirsasana, rather than the tripod version that we did previously. We’ve already done one variation of headstand in our pose of the week, but this time we’re adding a little extra flourish with butterfly legs bada konasana. ![]() However, we now know more about her than we do Gar and Kory in-universe. What she has with Dick feels shallow in comparison, but so much time is spent on it, and to what end?īringing Conor Leslie on as full-time Donna Troy was a great choice, and I really enjoyed getting to spend so much time with her. In fact, her entire relationship with Dick really rings false to me, especially because she and Hank have so much chemistry and we’ve spent an entire episode seeing their love story. At the same time, it doesn’t make Dawn look great. I do love that after Garth is dead and the team decides to get revenge, Dawn tells Dick to “be Batman” because Batman is the vengeance and the night, so that’s a good person to channel. If this were a 22-episode season, I could get it because there’s enough time to develop each character and give them their own episode, but so far, it feels like we’re only getting slivers of everyone’s story who isn’t Dick, because he’s the connective tissue of both timelines. While I’m glad we got an episode that focused on Donna, and it was a surprising twist that she has a “fridged” man in her backstory, I feel like this was a lot of episode dedicated to a character we are never going to see again. Natalie Gumede is supposed to be showing up as Lex Luthor’s henchwoman Mercy Graves, Olunike Adeliyi will be appearing as an “undisclosed” character who I’m 99% sure is Blackfire, and we still have to do stuff with Beast Boy, Raven, Rose, Kory, and Jason Todd. All this is going on and we are already on episode 4, without having properly been introduced to Conner Kent/Superboy (Joshua Orpin). ![]() The episode is all flashback, and it provides a lot of backstories that are interesting, but we all know the conclusion to the storyline, and that it includes Robin in some way manipulating Slade’s son Jericho (Chella Man). In the previous episode, when the old Titans return to Titan Tower, we learn that they shuttered the Tower due to Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, and in “Aqualad,” we find out that it’s because Slade killed Garth/Aqualad (Drew Van Acker) in front of Donna Troy right after they had their big love confession moment. ![]() **Spoilers for Titans S02E04 “Aqualad.”** There’s a noticeable lack of connectivity between storylines for a show that has so many characters and an episode where a chunk of the main cast isn’t present. Still, as I watched the latest episode, “Aqualad,” I checked to see how long this second season of Titans was going to be, and it’s only a 13-episode season. I’ve honestly been finding the newest season to be really fun and entertaining, plus more Jason Todd makes my heart soar. Despite the fact that I have a lot of criticisms about it and its tone, there’s something about it that keeps drawing me back in. DC Universe’s Titans is a really weird show for me. One thing to keep in mind is that the total amount of land appropriated this way has been under a couple percent of total land grabs - The perception here is a lot worse than the reality, and enterprising explorers have been getting land legitimately the whole time. We have already implemented changes that have prevented some of those hacks - including one of the major housing land-grab hacks. It’s important that actual players get the opportunity to obtain land when it is available, so we’re working closely with XLGAMES to prevent the bots and hacks. ![]() Is Auroria going to have enough space for everyone? while others just believe the game is actually successful enough to have that much land claimed. Players are bummed that there isn't much land available and there is a huge argument going on in the community right now about bots, hacks, land hacks, etc. You’ll also need some Thunderstruck logs for the Farm Cart. The hard-to-get materials in the Farm Wagon are the Farm Cart, Thunderstruck Trees and Flaming Logs. We are too! We were thrilled when XL liked the idea as much as we did for this vehicle back when we suggested it as a part of our westernization, and keeping it quiet as long as we did was quite a challenge. We don’t have details to release yet as they’re still iterating on it, but we’ll definitely let everyone know as soon as we can! We know their heart’s in the right place here.Įveryone is super excited about the Farm Wagon - while not that interesting of a detail, could you let us know what major materials are going to be needed to put together this amazing 4 trade pack vehicle of farming madness? The submarine is a cool part of ArcheAge and XLGAMES wants to make it fun to use! We really appreciate that they wanted it to be both fun and a solid investment before releasing it with us. As it stands, it’s rather slow and not worth the effort that goes into making it. XLGAMES did a pass on normalizing the mount speeds, and they realize that in the process they accidentally nerfed the submarine too much. Can you share a little bit more about what's going on with the submarine, an ETA on when we can get it, and any cool details about changes Trion hopes to see? It's noted on the forums that the submarine won't be coming on launch day and the community has pretty much made mention that the submarine isn't specifically "fun" on the KR servers in its current iteration. Of interesting note - we have a quasi-timeline finally (not affirmative, but it's better than nothing) for Diamond Shores and level 55! All answers courtesy of Victoria Voss, Lead Producer, ArcheAge, Trion Worlds. One of the interesting tidbits is that Trion confirms what everyone thought - the "hacked" land takes up a small portion of the consumed land in the world, but hopefully today's update will help free some of the land up. The critical questions are about the submarine and how that is going to be handled, some quality of life questions about Thunderstruck Trees, and the ongoing struggle to find land in the world. I had the chance to ask Trion some really cool and important questions about the Auroria update that launches today and here is the answers for all of you ArcheAge fans. |
