![]() My only complaint is that the antivirus scanner slowed down my PC during a full system scan, but you can easily schedule full scans during the night or when you’re not using your PC. If you’re looking for reliable protection against both known and zero-day threats, McAfee is a really good choice, with perfect malware detection rates, fast scans, and simple scan scheduling. Overall, McAfee’s antivirus scanner is among the very best on the market. That said, some competitors like Avira and TotalAV don’t impact a system’s performance during system scans. But McAfee lets you schedule scans whenever you want, so you can schedule a full system scan to run when you know you won’t be using your PC. When McAfee was scanning my PC, it ran slower than normal - I could still browse the internet and use word processing programs to get some work done, but watching a video or playing a game was out of the question. The only thing I don’t like about McAfee’s scanner is that it does cause some system slowdown. I also ran McAfee’s quick scan, which took under 2 minutes to finish, and the duration of McAfee’s custom scan depended on the types of files I chose to scan (from a couple of minutes to 1 hour). McAfee’s full system scan took around 1 hour to complete - this is on par with competitors like Bitdefender, but both Norton and Avira’s scans are faster, taking only 40 minutes to finish. McAfee is one of the rare antiviruses with consistently excellent results against all kinds of malware - the only other brands that can compete with McAfee include Norton, Bitdefender, TotalAV, and Avira, which all successfully identified and removed all malware samples during all of our tests. The scan detected 100% of my test malware. But I can’t say I was surprised with the result. Then, I installed McAfee and ran a full system scan. I tested McAfee’s antivirus scanner by downloading a massive database of malware files onto my PC - including viruses, trojans, rootkits, ransomware, and spyware. McAfee’s antivirus scanner uses traditional malware detection methods, which check files against McAfee’s huge virus database, as well as heuristics, which identify potentially dangerous files based on their behavior. McAfee Security Features Antivirus Scanner McAfee has a 30-day money-back guarantee on all of its plans, so there’s no risk in trying it out. McAfee offers 1-year subscriptions for all of its plans as well as a discounted 2-year plan for its Plus plan, which has coverage for up to 5 devices. It has a high-quality malware scanner, provides a wide range of security features, and is easy to use - and all of this for a very low price. That said, I still think McAfee is one of the best-value antiviruses out there. I also think the VPN could use some improvement - it doesn’t allow torrenting, and it’s unable to access some popular streaming sites (it works with Netflix and Amazon Prime, but not with Disney+ and Hulu). On the other hand, I don’t like that the full system scan often causes system slowdown (but you can schedule full scans when you’re not using your computer), and I’d like to see all of McAfee’s features integrated into a single dashboard. I also think McAfee’s firewall and Wi-Fi protections are better than similar protections offered by premium competitors like TotalAV and Avira. Most of McAfee’s features work exactly as promised - I’m a huge fan of McAfee’s anti-phishing and anti-exploit browser extension, which blocked more dangerous sites than Chrome or Firefox in my tests. McAfee also offers more additional features than most other antiviruses, including: ![]() It was able to identify and block both simple and sophisticated threats, including viruses, trojans, spyware, ransomware, and cryptojackers. McAfee’s antivirus scanner scored an impressive 100% malware detection rating in all of my tests across Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. McAfee also has a ton of useful extra features and is one of the few providers that allow you to cover an unlimited number of devices. McAfee provides excellent real-time malware detection along with some of the best web protections on the market for an excellent price.

Furthermore, if teens stay upset, they may resort to harmful behaviors to cope with their emotions.Īfter reconnecting with the child or adolescent, I personally revert to reviewing the importance of showing respect and consideration for authority figures, including therapists.įor some, this part of parenting is the most difficult, and it seems like a quick fix to have someone else fix/discipline our children. It can take more work to earn the privilege of connecting if they are consistently angry. Teens often require more time and effort than younger kids. It seems both children and youth mostly understand genuine love and care more than anything else. When kids are little, reconnecting can be more straightforward because giving attention and kind words are the primary solutions. These kids also tend to struggle significantly with anger. I also do not judge caregivers who have spoiled their kids with a lack of discipline, thereby losing their respect. Did I say many? For this reason, I do not judge parents and caregivers who struggle. It requires us, caregivers, to reach beyond the anger for their HEART.Īs a mom of six children (plus a few extras), I understand the many many challenges of parenting. It’s much harder to connect first than to demand kids fix their actions and attitude. ![]() “it is better to connect before we correct.” Family-based counseling therapeutic methods taught me a great saying: Anger among caregivers is an area I struggle with, from being and working with Parents. ![]() This way, you can avoid any overlapping and all your crops will be watered quite easily. It can water all 8 spaces around it, so you can place each sprinkler in a 2 tile gap. Unlike basic sprinklers, these sprinklers are quite easy to install. Let’s take a look at the ingredients needed to keep this sprinkler on your farm. That means you can water 8 tiles of the crop with just a single quality sprinkler. It takes only one tile to run this sprinkler but it gives water to all the crops placed around it. Now, this is scattered farming that you will get after reaching the farming level un Although it takes some time to unlock, it is definitely worth the wait. The columns of three iridium sprinklers will give you 2 water spaces that you can dedicate to a crop, or you can go to the whole hog and make a huge square of six sprinklers that water 144 spaces. They need to be placed four places away from each other to get the most efficient coverage. It is easy enough to plan an efficient layout with their 5×5 layout. Iridium is located at the bottom of the cave so make sure you have strong weapons, ladders and bombs to reach them.Įven with all the ingredients, you need to reach 9 levels of agriculture to start crafting. Even to get access to the cave, you need to reach level 120 in the mine and repair the vault in the community center which will bring you back the full 423200g. To get to them you have to go to Skull Cavar located in the desert. However it is the iridium bars that are more difficult. The battery pack is also straight, you need to put a few light rods on your farm. Gold is not so hard to find and can be found in mines. These sprinklers are the best in the game, but it takes work to gather resources to create one. This is a huge area of your farm for bulk watering. Iridium sprinklers are one of the best agricultural tools in the Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley Iridium sprinkler ingredients So I suggest you keep your bars for these tasks without using the Basic Sprinkler which is not of much use. Copper bars are very mandatory for the advance of the East and also useful for the CAG which is the most profitable item in the Stardew Valley. ![]() Now what I think is, the player should know that Basic Sprinklers is the first thing you will be able to get your hands on but it is a waste of valuable resources and it is not worth it.Ĭopper bars are very important and valuable in early play because it is necessary for silos, upgrades of copper tools, mayonnaise machines, and tappers. If you put your basic sprinkler in the wrong place, you can hit it with an ax and return it to your nest. So scattering a basic can be tactical and tedious at the same time. If you want to place them in a clean square, there will always be gaps. There are different layouts for Basic Sprinkler but they all involve placing it diagonally, which looks weird. However, I recommend saving your copper and iron bars and missed to make this sprinkler perfectly crafted to create better tools. Placing this sprinkler can be a bit therapeutic but don’t worry if you put your sprinkler in the wrong place, you can just hit it with your wrinkles or pix to get it back to your nest. If you want to keep them in a neat square, there are always gaps. There are different types of layouts for basic sprinklers but it involves placing them diagonally which is a bit awkward. Although they can scatter what you can craft first, these are the most difficult to place because of their cross size. There are four spaces in total, sprinkled directly on top, bottom left, and right. The basic sprinkler is the first one you will be able to craft and it is locked in 2 stages of agriculture. Stardew Valley Basic Sprinkler Ingredients Let’s take a look at the Stardew Valley Sprinklers, the Stardew Valley Sprinkler range, and how sprinklers work. Stardew Valley Sprinkler helps you easily irrigate your crops.ĭifferent Stardew Valley Sprinklers have different capabilities. It is used to irrigate agricultural crops, landscapes, lawns, and other areas. Stardew Valley Sprinkler Layout GreenhouseĪ sprinkler is a device that sprays water. ![]() Through a little help from old friend Yoda (Frank Oz), Luke realizes that, while the structures of the Jedi can become shackles, it is their failure - and the wisdom that comes from failure - that speaks to the true power of the Jedi. “But if you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Jedi is failure. “Now that they’re extinct, the Jedi are romanticized, deified,” Luke says. The Force Awakens sets up Luke as a mythic figure who had gone to find a legendary temple, and The Last Jedi subverts that, revealing him to be a hermit, fearful of the Force to a point that he shuts himself off from it, not wanting to cause any more harm after his mistakes with his nephew Ben. The entire Skywalker saga had focused on the significance of that one family’s bloodline - until The Last Jedi. In that essence, anyone can be a Skywalker - and Rey can represent what the characters of Blake and Morales do. “ Anyone can wear the mask,” Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) says. ![]() “Batman could be anybody.” More recently, the idea was echoed in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. “The idea was to be a symbol,” Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) tells Blake. A new dark knight rises, not a Wayne, but an orphan who knew the same struggles. The title for Christopher Nolan’s third Batman film applies to a number of moments, but one of the most striking is the very last shot in which John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) steps onto the platform in the Batcave, which then rises and fills the screen before cutting to the title card. The Rise of Skywalker recalls a similar title for a film that focuses on heroic symbols and how legends live on: 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. But the subtitle could apply to no one in particular, as, especially after Johnson’s film, the name “Skywalker” has become a symbol. There are a few characters in The Rise of Skywalker with Skywalker blood - Kylo Ren/Ben Solo (Adam Driver), Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) and, assumedly, force ghost Luke - and this film could be about the redemption of Ben. It would be cool to tell some new stories in this galaxy…but Luke Skywalker showed up in The Book of Boba Fett literally earlier this year, so I’ll believe it when I see it.But title surely doesn’t have to be literal. That’s what’s taking a lot of time, discussion, and thought right now. But we are moving on from the Skywalker saga. It’s our job to step away now, but still have a connection to the mythology that George created. Just staying within the construct of storytelling, to keep chipping away at that, I think would be wrong. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy recently said that they’re looking to leave behind the Skywalker saga: Might Dathan and Miramir ever show up onscreen again? That’s hard to tell. In a new excerpt, it’s revealed that the names of Rey’s parents are Dathan and Miramir.ĭathan is the dad and Miramir the mother, if you were wondering it’s not always clear with these names from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. ![]() For instance, what were their names? That question is answered in the new Star Warsnovel Shadow of the Sith by Adam Christopher. Then we found out in The Last Jedi that they were “no one”…but then we found out in The Rise of Skywalker that her dad was actually the son of Emperor Palatine (or rather an imperfect clone of him, to be specific), which makes her related to the greatest force of evil in the galaxy.Īnd through it all, we learned very little about Rey’s parents. ![]() At first we heard that Rey (Daisy Ridley) was abandoned by her parents as a child, presumably because they had some secret we would learn in later installments. The Star Wars sequel trilogy was famous for making up the story as it went along. And getting that feeling right is really important to making your home feel “right” for you. Color can play an important role in providing that feeling. People with different personalities tend to have different ideas about how they want their home to feel. Step 1: Figure Out If You Are a Warm or Cool Color Person This is because almost all neutral colors in decorating have a color as a base, so you can choose them later as part of your color selections. You will also notice that there are no neutral colors (white, black, gray or brown) in this selection. There are no rules about which colors you can choose at this stage…so don’t limit yourself…it’s okay to choose colors that you think won’t go together at all. ![]() You will NOT end up with bright purple, green and orange walls (unless that’s the look you’re going for). To create your whole house palette, you are going to pick 4 colors from the basic color wheel, using the steps below.ĭon’t worry…these are just the color families that you will be using to decorate your house, not the actual colors themselves. For example, choosing the Red color family includes all of the colors that are derived from red such as pink, burgundy and fuchsia.Īlso, these aren’t necessarily wall colors…just colors that you will be using in the rooms, so don’t get too worried that it will be too much color. You may be saying this sounds good in theory, but how do you choose which colors to use? However using color families still gives you some flexibility to update your colors as you go.Īnd, if you like to move your furniture around as much as I do, you get an extra bonus! A lot of your furniture and accessories will “go” in most of your rooms…so you’ll have lots of ways to rearrange them. A whole house color scheme makes that process so much easier and faster. When it comes to choosing color, the biggest problem is usually that there are just too many options available. Why Do You Need A Whole House Color Palette?īesides making your house look good, there are actually a couple of other benefits to having a whole house color scheme.įirst, it reduces the number of color choices you have when you are updating a room. Instead, I pick color families and then use a few rules to apply those colors to my rooms when I’m decorating. Because I love color so much, I would find that impossible to do for the whole house all at once. My version of choosing a whole house color palette doesn’t actually involve picking specific colors. This repetition of color is what helps to make sure that your house flows from one room to the next. What Is A Whole House Color Scheme?īasically, a whole house color scheme is a selection of colors that you use in varying amounts to provide a cohesive look throughout your home. So what makes the rooms in my home look like they belong together even though they aren’t the same? ![]() Or you use the same neutral color palette everywhere.īut that’s definitely not the case in my house (my walls are blue, purple, pink, black and silver). It’s not that hard to do if all of your walls are painted the same color. One of the things that people always comment on when they come into my house is how all of the rooms seem to flow from one to the next. ![]() ![]() For more information, click here to see our disclosures.

The receiver signal can be observed through a voltmeter or as an auditory signal. Both receiver and transmitter are connected to a control box, which allows for transmitter signal amplification and for receiving signal options. In this experiment a microwave transmitter and receiver are used to study the properties of electromagnetic waves. A phase adjuster allows the incident wave front of one slit to be thrown out of phase with respect to the other slit to illustrate the interference pattern. Model has a variable slit width of 4.5 micron and 2.25 micron. This model graphically demonstrates the wave phenomena of double slit interference. The grating corresponds to a spacing of 6000 lines/ cm illuminated by sodium light at wavelength 5892 Angstroms.ĭimensions: width: 56 cm, height: 40.5 cm. This model demonstrates the principles of constructive and destructive interference as produced by the diffraction grating. The diffraction patterns are projected on a screen using a HeNe laser as light source (the same set-up used in the previous demonstration). The diffraction pattern of an opaque disk demonstrates the Poison's spot. One can also show the complementary diffraction patterns of a pinhole and an opaque disk. Slides with pinholes, gratings, different widths wires, and straight edges, circular and square apertures are available. With the double slit slide on, the single slit diffraction pattern can be recovered by using an opaque edge to carefully block one of the slits. ![]() ![]() The single slit slide has four different widths, and the double slit has four different spacing. O.2(5) - Single and Double Slit DiffractionĪ HeNe laser is used as the light source in the projection of diffraction patterns due to single slit and double slit slides. As the centers of the two plates are moved relative to one another, the interference patterns appear. Wave fronts are represented by concentric circles drawn on transparent plastic plates that fit in the overhead projector. This demonstration model gives a large graphic display of how interference occurs. A HeNe laser beam is also used as a light source. The same pattern appears but it is not as stable since as you move the contact point the pattern moves and distorts. One can also show that this interference pattern appears when a simple glass plate and a watch glass are set together and slightly pressed against each other. An interference pattern can be viewed off screen using other light sources. The projection can be made large enough to be seen by the whole class. The circular interference fringes can be projected on a screen using a HeNe laser beam. This apparatus consists of a flat plate and a convex lens of long focus, both 8.5 cm in diameter, mounted in brass frames fitted with three knurled compression screws. There are discharge tubes of: He, Xe, Ne, Ar and Hg. Spectral lines of 5 different gases and for white light are identified by the students with the help of individual transmission-type grating glasses. One can also shine the laser beam on a compact disk as an example of reflection-type diffraction grating. ![]() They are mounted between glass plates in a 3 cm x 9 cm slide card. This demonstration slide has three 9 mm x 16 mm gratings with 100, 300, and 600 lines per mm. The transmission-type diffraction grating flints on a stand just in front of a HeNe laser, and is brightly projected on the lecture room screen. Interference patterns produced by a diffraction grating are projected on a screen. ![]() ![]() Instead of immediately stating that his great-grandmother is a role model, he alludes to her strength and importance in his life: “In a place devoid of laughter and hope, this room was the one bright spot in this whole mess of concrete and cement that could make me smile.” Though the applicant was only eleven years old at the time, he showcases his maturity: “Yet, despite her appearance of good health, I knew that her time was drawing to a close.” The success of the essay is based largely upon its gradual style. The applicant employs a powerful event-witnessing the death of his great-grandmother-to show the great effect the woman had on his life. This essay is done in a narrative style but also involves an obstacle the writer has faced. ![]() The writer’s acceptance of her identity is executed well, using a steady flow and precise language to evince that she is a confident and mature women ready to take on future challenges: “I have inherited their strength and conviction to overcome a struggle based on prejudice and to believe in myself each day I go forward.” Gradual Approach Though her feelings of exclusion could have led to self-pity, she shows her maturity by focusing upon her strength, noting how the struggles of past African-Americans have paved the way for her and her fellow Black Americans. What makes her essay unique is her focus on an ironic issue: “I find it ironic, however, that my greater struggle has been, not to be considered equal to the majority society, but rather to be included by the Black American community.” More importantly, she examines issues of identity, personalizing the struggle of Blacks. The writer goes on to examine issues of racial stereotyping, including the oft-associated traits. The theme of this essay comes down to the following: “Experiencing color prejudice on both sides of the race line and struggling to remain connected in the African American community have been some of my greatest struggles.” This sentence comes at the end of the first paragraph and outlines the ensuing material. ![]() Below we will use examples to illustrate these two tactics: Upfront Approach Then the conclusion wraps these individual themes together and includes some kind of encapsulation of the material that preceded it. The second approach is to ensure a strong flow between paragraphs, connecting each point with previous ones so the underlying theme gradually emerges. At this stage, since you haven’t explored your concrete evidence, the theme should subtly indicate the direction the essay will take rather than try to tell the whole story. The first is to bring it up in the introduction, usually at the end of the first paragraph. There are essentially two ways to set forth your theme. Instead, your theme should introduce complexities, as in the following: “While Experience A demonstrates my commitment to B Aspect of journalism, Experience C drives me toward Objective D.” A strong essay will never boil down to a statement as simple as the following: “My reason for wanting to study journalism is X.” That kind of theme would invite a repetitive structure that merely includes a series of paragraphs offering evidence for a single point. When we use the term “theme,” we mean something that usually has multiple layers. This theme is analogous to the thesis of an academic essay, though it’s often less explicitly stated. The overarching theme you decide on will inform the manner in which you organize the rest of your content. |
