![]() ![]() “I don't think it's by happenstance that everything is set up this way at all,” Hopkins says, “Basically you have your endocrine system, which is your adrenals - flight or flight,” she notes. She notes that this chakra is very near the adrenal system. It represents your foundation, safety, and security, Hopkins tells NYLON. The first chakra is the root chakra, or Muladhara in Sanskrit, and is located at the base of the spine. “It’s definitely a tried-and-true guide.” “ is certainly something I recommend to beginners,” Anjie Best, founder and owner of Peach and Pixie, tells NYLON. Each chakra is tied to a color, making it pretty easy to guess a crystal’s general properties or associated chakra even if you’ve never heard of the stone before. Each has a slew of correlating crystals, but luckily, you don’t have to memorize everything individually. While there are hundreds of energy wheels throughout the body, there are seven main chakras: the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third-eye, and crown. “Then when it comes to crystals, they too have their own meanings and vibrations.” You can match up the meanings of different crystals with certain chakras and use the stone’s energy with that of the chakra. You cannot pass go if that's not met,” she notes, explaining that often it’s a good idea to start chakra work with this first base chakra and work your way up from there. “The first chakra and the first base of that pyramid is safety and security. “I almost liken the chakras to like Maslow's hierarchy of needs,” Hopkins tells NYLON. This can be done through a number of practices like yoga, mantras, meditation, and crystal healing, to name a few. The goal with chakra healing is to align and “open” these energy centers for an overall sense of harmony through the mind, body, and spirit. “They’re energetic centers, not things you can see,” Paula Hopkins, founder and owner of Chakra Zulu Crystals, tells NYLON, “and they have emotional ties, everything is connected.” The different chakras rule over various emotions, and this explains why you can physically feel things like guilt, shame, joy, and excitement in certain areas of the body. The word chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit, representing the wheels of energy that flow through the body. Originating in ancient India, the chakra system is a pillar of practice within certain forms of Hinduism and Buddhism. In fact, there are tons of crystals for each chakra to help keep your energy in check. Rose quartz correlates to the heart chakra, aka the energy center for love, while citrine connects with the powerful solar plexus chakra. So what does rose quartz have to do with love? Why is everyone so adamant about getting their hands on citrine to help them manifest? It all comes back to the ancient system of chakras. The earth’s stones are believed to hold all kinds of different properties to harness positive energies and ward off bad vibes. ![]() Natural substances have been used for physical, spiritual, and emotional healing for thousands of years. It’s no marketing gimmick that pretty pink rose quartz is known as a “love” crystal.

In the royal flush event, for example, players launch the driver so that he connects with specific cards to build a winning hand. ![]() Once again you are trying to catapult the driver through the windshield so he hits a specific target. There are now 12 Olympic-style events, up from the first game's six. The wacky, human-tossing mini-games return with more sadistic "sports" to master. The expansive environments also play fast and loose with what is or what isn't destructible, causing some trial-and-error moments as you figure out which structure or fence can be smashed to reveal a shortcut and which will act like a brick wall. ![]() Yet your car will literally plow through boulders or giant fuel canisters without hindrance. While the individual car ratings in categories such as weight and strength influence how much airtime you get during jumps and the amount of power behind hits, vehicles are prone to fishtailing and spinning with the slightest contact from a rival. The problem is that the different vehicle classes don't seem to grip the terrain properly, making it feel like you are racing on glass instead of sand, mud, asphalt, or water. The one aspect that still needs work is the physics, which are extremely loose even for an arcade-style game. Players can also select a single race, single stunt, or a single derby from the menu screen. Earnings can then be used to purchase up to 34 vehicles (including compacts, pickup trucks, and racecars) or parts upgrades in six areas, from engines and exhausts to suspensions and gearboxes. Cash is doled out for each top-three finishers as well as for landing hits on rival vehicles, with bonus points awarded for causing wrecks, flipping cars over, and inflicting the most damage on the track. From that point on, the action involves progressing through a series of themed cup races, mini-games, and destruction derbies to unlock subsequent events and earn some money. Players begin with 5,000 credits and a choice of three slow but stout derby vehicles. The career mode is once again the game's focus, only this time there are three vehicle classes to unlock as you advance through multiple events. The outdoor areas let you do both with reckless abandon. The arcade-style atmosphere wouldn't be complete without the ability to uproot trees and telephone poles like they were made out of papier-mâché, as FlatOut 2 is all about driving fast and hitting hard. ![]() Tires, fences, rocks, oil drums, and other objects will bounce, roll, and fly across the screen as if a hurricane were nearby. The courses have changed for the better as well, with each locale sporting multiple shortcuts, huge jumps, underground tunnels, lifelike scenery, and more flying bric-a-brac than a barroom brawl. Sixty course combinations are divided among forest, desert, field, canal, city, and traditional racetracks. While the core racing action remains the same, the "meat" has been heaped on to gag-inducing levels. ![]() FlatOut 2 aims to smooth out some of the original model's dents and dings, expanding nearly every facet of what made the first game a sleeper hit. It wasn't perfect, of course, but it certainly had some distinguishing features, none more so than the madcap mini-games that involved flinging a hapless driver through a car's windshield to hit bull's-eye targets. With its high-speed crashes and destruction derby events, the original FlatOut struck like a bolt from the blue for crash-crazed consumers. Smoking the competition in a racing game is one thing, leaving the competition in a smoking heap of charred metal is quite another. The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer currently runs at $399 which includes the dryer, smoothing nozzle, styling concentrator, diffuser, non-slip mat and storage hanger. This dryer comes with an ultra-hefty price tag but it 100% exceeded my expectations and to me I think it lives up to the hype. The Sephora set pushed me over the edge and for those who have been contemplating it for the Beauty Insider Sale I hope this review helps you make your decision either way. This dryer has been out on the market for quite some time now and it has caught my eye on numerous occasions but I could not bring myself to splurge as I already own and love several other dryers. After reviewing the new Harry Josh Ultra Light Pro Dryer I was thrilled to see how many of you love haircare posts and especially surprised many expressed interest in a review of the Dyson Supersonic. It’s one of the most expensive beauty tools I’ve purchased and based on my testing I think it 100% lives up to the hype.
![]() If one party is unwilling to share information which must be shared with the other parties under the laws of discovery, the other party might consider filing a motion to compel the discovery. the information is privileged or it is not relevant to the dispute at issue in the lawsuit. In courts in which a full discovery process is allowed, there are certain pieces of evidence and information that each party is required to share, and there are other items of evidence that are protected from sharing in discovery for a variety of reasons, e.g. Regular Trial Courts: In a regular trial court, in which the amount that may be claimed in damages is subject only to a lower limit, but not an upper limit, complete discovery is generally available from the time the lawsuit is filed.Ī person planning to file a civil lawsuit wants to consider the limitations on the amount of money that can be recovered in courts at various levels and whether discovery is or is not available in deciding on the court in which to file their lawsuit.Depending on the state’s laws and the type of case, discovery in these lower courts may be limited or may be available only with a court order This results in the establishment of trial courts that conduct full trials of cases that involve less serious issues or lesser amounts of money. ![]() Lower Trial Courts: Some states also divide their regular civil trial courts into levels based on the amount of money that can be claimed in a lawsuit.In these cases, discovery may be unavailable or may be subject to limitations. Small Claims Courts: In most states, small claims court is for cases in which the amount of money in dispute usually ranges from about $5,000 to $10,000 dollars.In some courts in which the amount of money sought is subject to limits, discovery may not be available as follows: Most states assign civil lawsuits to different levels of its civil court system depending on the amount of money and the kind of legal dispute at issue in the case. Whether discovery is available depends on the state and the court in which a lawsuit is filed. ![]() Each state has laws that regulate the discovery process, and federal courts have their own rules which apply to civil lawsuits in federal courts. The discovery process is required in most state and federal courts. This process of sharing information among the parties to a lawsuit takes place before the trial and is known as “ discovery.” In any type of civil lawsuit, each party usually needs to share vital information with the other party or parties during the course of the lawsuit. ![]() Innishfree (‘Isle of Heather’) is located near the southern shore of Lough Gill, in County Sligo, Ireland. Who among us, especially if we live in a town or city, hasn’t wished to leave the bustle of urban living behind in favour of a simpler existence? In this, one of his most oft-anthologised poems, Yeats describes his intention to go to Innisfree and build a small cabin of clay and wattles, to grow beans and keep bees for honey, and to live on his own there. Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,Īnd a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made ![]() For among other things, ‘Easter 1916’ is about the tension between change and permanence, steadfastness and flexibility ![]() Those words that end three of the four long stanzas that make up ‘Easter 1916’, with each new repetition of them changing them slightly. As Yeats’s famous final line has it, ‘A terrible beauty is born.’ The poem is about renouncing the hold of the world upon us, and attaining something higher than the physical or sensual.Īnother poem about conflicting feelings experienced by an Irishman during the events of the First World War – here, though, the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916, while Britain was busy fighting another war against Germany. Yeats wrote ‘Sailing to Byzantium’ in 1927, when he was in his early sixties, and published a year later in The Tower. This is partly what ‘Sailing to Byzantium’ is about. These are, perhaps, inevitable thoughts once we reach a certain age: they certainly came to Yeats in his later years, and he frequently wrote about growing old. Growing older, feeling out of touch with the new generation superseding you, feeling surplus to requirements, waiting for death. The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,įish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long In one another’s arms, birds in the trees, The idea that soldiers in the First World War fought ‘for King and Country’ made for good propaganda, and was undoubtedly true in the case of many English poets (Edward Thomas, for instance) but it wasn’t true of everyone … Instead, his allegiance is to his Kiltartan Cross, a small parish in the county of Galway in Ireland, a remote part of the British ‘empire’ which is unlikely to be greatly troubled by the war: this Irish airman’s sacrifice (or heroic victories) matter little to the ‘poor’ of Kiltartan, who are likely to remain poor whatever happens in the mighty clash of empires that was the First World War. What was it like to be an Irish soldier fighting for Britain in the First World War, but to be an Irishman longing for independence from the British? This conflict is the focus of this soliloquy, one of Yeats’s finest poems about the fight for Irish independence during, and just after, WWI.ĭespite Yeats’s title, ‘An Irish Airman Foresees His Death’, there is little sense of patriotism at the national level displayed by the speaker. The poem takes in Julius Caesar, Helen of Troy, and Michelangelo, but throughout we find the refrain: ‘Like a long-legged fly upon the stream’.Ħ. Silence is found elsewhere in Yeats’s work – in ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’, for instance, he longs to escape to the tranquillity of the isle mentioned in that poem’s title – but ‘Long-Legged Fly’ is about, in Yeats’s own words, how the mind moves upon silence. ![]() So begins this classic Yeats poem, one of the great poems about silence. And dreams are delicate and vulnerable – hence ‘Tread softly’. But I’m only a poor man, and obviously the idea of making the sky into a blanket is silly and out of the question, so all I have of any worth are my dreams. ![]() ★★★★★ BedanktNet bedrijf goede prijzenMij zien jullie 100% terugWederom besteld hier en weer 5 sterren hoorKeurig bedrijf !!!!3de bestelling weer prima !!!

Council members said that option represented “the best solution to maintain forward progress, support the investments already made along the US Route 50/301 corridor… and address the existing and future traffic capacity shortfalls.”īut Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman (D) said on Thursday “we would have preferred a crossing that would draw traffic to other corridors.” In October, the Anne Arundel County Council approved a resolution to replace the currents spans with a single bridge, with at least eight lanes, at the same location. They complain of being virtual prisoners in their neighborhoods and of emergency vehicles that get delayed in miles-long traffic backups. They argue that Routes 50 and 301 and arterial roads are already jammed with “through” traffic, particularly during the morning and afternoon commutes and on weekends during beach season. Many Anne Arundel and Queen Anne’s residents oppose a third span near the existing crossings. The Federal Highway Administration issued its “record of decision” in tandem with a final environment impact statement on April 14. There would also be an analysis of how traffic and the environment would be impacted by a decision not to expand capacity. ![]() The next study would also consider a broad range of environmental and traffic impacts associated with construction and operation of a new bridge and the state would be required to identify its funding source. A “Tier 2” study would produce an exact location for a third span, “within the two-mile-wide Selected Corridor Alternative.” In approving Maryland’s “Tier 1” analysis, federal officials paved the way for the state to advance to the next phase in the process. The Maryland Transportation Authority studied 14 potential options for a new bridge before selecting “Corridor 7,” the area adjacent to the two spans that connect the Annapolis area and Queen Anne’s County. Photo by khalid/.įederal highway officials have given the go-ahead for Maryland to move forward with plans to build a new Chesapeake Bay crossing near the existing Bay Bridge spans. Bridges are also one of these epic man-made feats - and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is one of the USA's finest examples, which is why we've added even more mind-blowing information about this exceptional structure's fascinating history.Maryland has federal approval to move forward with plans to build a new Chesapeake Bay crossing near the existing Bay Bridge spans. From stupendous skyscrapers to ginormous art installations, the world is full of magnificent spectacles of what humans are capable of creating. Updated by Lauren Feather, February 26, 2022: Modern majesties of technology and architecture never cease to amaze mere morals. However, depending on your take about having the chance to drive across what was once considered one of seven global engineering wonders, it can also be a truly humbling experience. For those who have a fear of heights, open spaces, or open water, it's not destined to be the more thrilling of experiences. The Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel is a modern feat of engineering but it's also considered to be one of the scariest roads - or bridges, technically - in the country. Related: These Photos From The World's Longest Glass Bridge Are Enough To Give You Vertigo By 1940, this instrument became commonly known as the “vibes” and by the 1960s, this musical vibe came to be slang for an “instinctive feeling”. It played a big role in the emergence of the jazz sound.Ī: Good question. Anyway, well into the 20th century, “vibrations” remained just a physical or audio phenomenon – with none of the emotion we assign them today.Ī: It started in the 1920s, with the invention of the vibraphone.Ī: It was also known as the vibraharp – a percussion instrument that looks like a large xylophone, yet has metal tubes hanging below that vibrate when you hit the bars on top. ![]() Q: Oh sorry, it’s just that the fat lady was singing and I assumed…Ī: Uh huh. Then, the Italian word “vibrato” was introduced in the 1860s to describe a tone that oscillates slightly in pitch, famously used by opera singers while holding a note. Long before batteries were invented, the word “vibration” turned up in English – around the 1650s – from Latin “vibratio” or “vibrare” meaning “to shake, brandish or set in tremulous motion”.Ī: Hahaha. Q: So it obviously came from “vibration”, right?Ī: Well, sort of. Macquarie Dictionary defines it as colloquial, “ a dominant quality, mood, or atmosphere”. Of course, the noun “vibe” is not a new thing. I just hear lots of young people these days describing something using “it’s a vibe”.Ī: Ah yes, the youth of today – a constant delight.Ī: So yeah, the phrase “it’s a vibe” (also a 2017 rap song by 2 Chainz and his buddies Ty Dolla Sign, Trey Songz and Jhené Aiko) is typically used to describe something or someplace positive. It’s a celebration of language, masquerading as a passive-aggressive whinge about words and weirdness. ![]() ![]()
![]() Then again, back to new releases with features, updates, and/or fixes as needed. The lifecycle of an app or software system (also known as SDLC) has several main stages: I highly recommend starting with this course. This course is taught by GraphSage author, Jurij Leskovec, himself. It has publicly available slides from lectures, along with well recommended readings. I think this course is a must if you want to grow your knowledge about Graph Neural Networks. 1) Stanford Course: CS224W Machine Learning with Graphs Here’s the list of best resources that you need to bookmark if you want to get hands-on practical experience in this field. Since the GNN field has been growing very quickly, up-to-date knowledge is not always easily available. Best learning resources for Graph Neural NetworksĪfter my first GNN article, I got a lot of messages asking for the best resources to understand this topic. If you use PyTorch, on the other hand, you can learn how to track your runs here. If you use TensorFlow/Keras for model training, check how you can keep track of this process here. If you want a fast, capable library at a relatively established and mature state of development, with the ease of integration of common benchmark datasets to implementation of other papers, then PyTorch Geometric is a good choice. At the same time, it’s a reasonable choice if you’re working on legacy projects. For Graph Nets DeepMind library, I don’t recommend starting a new GNN project with it due to TensorFlow 1. It’s about choosing the library that meets your needs, and this choice is usually influenced by a previous choice of deep learning libraries made by you or by your manager/teammate.įor example, if you’ve worked before, or you’re used to working with Keras and Tensorflow, then Spektral may be a good library for you. Unfortunately, there’s a trade-off for the simplicity of using Spektral, which is the slowness in training speeds for most tasks compared to other libraries like DGL and PyG. This library is designed according to the guiding principles of Keras to make things extremely simple for beginners while maintaining flexibility for experts. It implements some of the most popular layers for graph deep learning. You can use Spektral to classify the users of a social network, predict molecular properties, generate new graphs with GANs, cluster nodes, predict links, and any other task where data is described by graphs. The main goal of this library is to provide a simple, flexible framework for creating GNNs. Spektral is an open-source Python graph deep learning library, based on the Keras API and TensorFlow 2. A graph-wise prediction task could be predicting the chemical properties of molecular graphs. An edge-wise prediction task could be link prediction, a common scenario in recommender systems. For example, a prediction at a node level could solve a task like spam detection. GNNs are neural networks designed to make predictions at the level of nodes, edges, or entire graphs. They’re a class of deep learning models for learning on graph-structured data. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) came to life quite recently. For a more in-depth understanding of GNN basics and applications, feel free to check out my previous article. Prerequisites: This article assumes a basic understanding of Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and GNNs. We’ll describe Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), cover popular GNN libraries, and we’ll finish with great learning resources to get you started in this field. This fuels the growing interest of deep learning researchers in the structure of graph data. Graphs have a lot of practical uses - in social networks, natural science (physics systems), chemistry, medicine, and many other research areas. Lots of learning tasks deal with graph data that have rich relationships and mutual dependency between objects. Graphs are a kind of data structure that models a set of objects (nodes) and their relationships (edges). Judging from the names, they probably used a repertory of camp plans, selecting the one appropriate to the length of time a legion would spend in it: tertia castra, quarta castra, etc., "a camp of three days", "four days", etc. They could throw up a camp under enemy attack in as little as a few hours. Each doorway provides entry to a large room, the sleeping quarters of one contubernium, or "squad" of about 10 men.Ĭamps were the responsibility of engineering units to which specialists of many types belonged, officered by architecti, "chief engineers", who requisitioned manual labor from the soldiers at large as required. Reconstructed barracks of a Castra Hiberna, or "winter camp". as soon as they have marched into an enemy's land, they do not begin to fight till they have walled their camp about nor is the fence they raise rashly made, or uneven nor do they all abide ill it, nor do those that are in it take their places at random but if it happens that the ground is uneven, it is first leveled: their camp is also four-square by measure, and carpenters are ready, in great numbers, with their tools, to erect their buildings for them." To this end a marching column ported the equipment needed to build and stock the camp in a baggage train of wagons and on the backs of the soldiers. Regulations required a major unit in the field to retire to a properly constructed camp every day. The best known type of castra is the camp, a military town designed to house and protect the soldiers and their equipment and supplies when they were not fighting or marching. As the word appears in both Oscan and Umbrian (dialects of Italic) as well as in Latin, it probably descended from Indo-European to Italic. The Latin word castra, with its singular castrum, was used by the ancient Romans to mean any building or plot of land reserved to or constructed for use as a military defensive position.
