Even passing over the lack of a request for it, we disagree. Defendant, of course, claims that the ruling came too late. To the contrary, it was the court itself which eventually ruled that the impeachment had become "cumulative, that it might be prejudicial" and should not be pursued any further. We could dispose of any claim respecting the wife by pointing out that extremely able counsel for defendant, who made numerous objections throughout the trial, never claimed that the cross-examination with respect to the inconsistent statements to the police became prejudicially repetitive. There was no error committed with respect to either witness. At the trial he too recanted when called by the prosecution and later, as a defense witness, claimed that S. had confirmed this in his statement to the police. had testified that on occasions when defendant came home early in the afternoon, he would send D.

The next morning defendant's wife questioned S. During that discussion defendant made some statement about his relationship with S. The background to this claim is as follows: during the night of May 1, 1969, defendant and his wife had a discussion concerning his going out in the evening. In particular defendant claims error in repetitive questioning concerning statements they retracted when called as witnesses by the People.

Children playing in areas where the slag was used as fill might also have been exposed through skin contact with chromium-contaminated dust, dirt, and puddles and /or ingestion of contaminated soil. In soil and roadways, these particles might have been eroded by wind and foot traffic and carried as chromium-laden dust into homes and workplaces. Chromium compounds leached by rainwater could have migrated through cracks in soil, asphalt roadways, and masonry walls, forming high-content chromium crystals on their surfaces. Wind erosion of the soil could have made slag particles airborne, increasing the opportunity for inhalation of chromium. Ĭommunity exposure from this fill occurred in a variety of ways. Persons living or working in the vicinity of the sites may have been exposed through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact with contaminated soils and dusts. Ĭhromium waste slag containing potentially hazardous levels of Cr(VI) compounds was used as fill material at more than 160 residential, industrial, and recreational sites. Forty-eight crossbreed Red Angus Nellore, with body weight of approximately 200☑4 kg and 10 months old, were used. Total chromium has been identified in 939 soil and 472 sediment samples collected from 1,036 National Priority Lists (NPL) hazardous waste sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate organic sources of chromium and the level of inclusion of these sources on the growth performance and rumen fermentation of Nellore Angus crossbred steers with low protein diets. Īccording to the Toxics Release Inventory, in 1997 the estimated releases of chromium was 30,862,235 pounds to soil from 3,391 large processing facilities accounted for about 94.1% of total environmental releases. However, the exact nature of such atmospheric reactions has not been studied extensively. Cr(VI) in the air eventually reacts with dust particles or other pollutants to form Cr(III). Ĭr(III) in the air does not undergo any reaction. In contrast, chrome-plating sources are estimated to contribute 700 metric tons of chromium per year to atmospheric pollution, 100% of which is believed to be Cr(VI). Ĭoal and oil combustion contribute an estimated 1,723 metric tons of chromium per year in atmospheric emissions however, only 0.2% of this chromium is Cr(VI). The estimates of atmospheric chromium emissions in 19 in the Los Angeles, CA and Houston, TX areas indicate that emissions from stationary fuel combustion are about 46-47% of the total, and emissions from the metal industry range from 26 to 45% of the total. According to the Toxics Release Inventory, in 1997, the estimated releases of chromium were 706,204 pounds to the air from 3,391 large processing facilities which accounted for about 2.2% of total environmental releases.Ĭr(III) and Cr(VI) are released to the environment primarily from stationary point sources (facilities that are identified individually by name and location) resulting from human activities. he continues to work and can be found on the True-VFX discord channel.

In addition to this we will show how easy it is to manipulate and use normals, noise, Lerps, and velocity to achieve procedural greatness through scripting! We will cover a broad range of topics in this tutorial teaching you how to harness the power of scripting to control variables such as color, p-scale, point counts, and vectors. If you've ever wanted an introduction into scripting in Houdini, then this is the tutorial for you. Hello Everyone, this is Timothy Hanson from, and I'm excited to bring you our latest and greatest tutorial "Houdini VEX for VFX." It’s also lightweight enough (less than 5 pounds) to carry one-handed without strain. The folding process isn’t difficult-a few clicks on the adjustment lever underneath the seat, and you’re good to go. It can fully flatten for transportation or storage, with 4 inches being its highest height when folded. One of our favorite features of the BabyBjörn Bouncer Bliss is how compact and portable it is. The seat has great depth, and the straps on the restraint system can be changed effortlessly between two sizes for babies 8 pounds and up-though we wish the straps could tighten more to accommodate smaller babes. We also tested the stability in chair mode and received the same result it never felt like the chair would tip or fall over. During our test, the bouncer felt incredibly sturdy and secure at all recline levels, with just enough natural bounce to relax a little one. When empty, the bouncer feels shaky and unstable, so we were surprised by the night-and-day difference when we added a sandbag to the seat. In order to use it right out of the box, we had to unfold it (but that’s it). There’s no assembly necessary with this baby bouncer-it arrives fully assembled. Plus, all fabrics are OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they’ve undergone testing for harmful substances. Pulling the seat cover off to wash it is a piece of cake, and putting it back on is just as easy by securing the fabric with two hooks to keep it in place. However, the seat cover should be line-dried only. We appreciate that all three materials are machine washable (separately) in warm water with mild detergent. The seat cover comes in three materials-3D jersey (polyester, cotton, and elastane), 3D mesh (polyester), and quilted fabric (cotton)-and tons of stunning neutral colors (and a few patterns) to match any nursery decor. We found it helpful to hold the bouncer on its side or upside down to make the adjustment. In both modes, the bouncer reclines to three different positions, but the levers to make it lounge were tricky to adjust during testing. To turn it into a chair, remove the seat cover and flip it around to re-secure. Its sleek design transforms from a bouncer to a toddler chair and doesn’t take up much space in either arrangement, measuring 31 x 15.5 x 22 inches. The BabyBjörn Bouncer Bliss wins the top spot on our list for its versatility, style, and straightforward functionality. Harness could use extra security for small babies Lastly, we folded the baby bouncers and carried them across the lab to assess their portability. We also adjusted the recline and reexamined stability and ease of use on each incline level. Our team of experienced parenting editors nudged the seats and bounced them repeatedly manually, with and without sandbags, to determine stability and ease of use. We then narrowed our list to 16 baby bouncers, which we put through multiple tests at the Verywell Testing Lab in New York City.ĭuring our test, seven parenting editors assembled the baby bouncers and strapped 15-pound or 20-pound sandbags into the seats' harnesses to replicate a child's weight. With their guidance in mind, we researched dozens of top-rated baby bouncers in the market and considered their safety features, design, and value. Moreover, we tested baby bouncers in the lab with the help and input of Ebony Barrett, PNP, a board-certified neonatal nurse practitioner. We also spoke to parents and medical professionals, including Elizabeth Murray, DO, MBA, FAAP Benjamin Hoffman, MD, CPST-I, FAAP and Molly O'Shea, MD, FAAP. To find the best baby bouncers, we researched safety guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Sleeping in a baby bouncer poses a risk of suffocation, which can lead to a potentially deadly outcome. It's important to note that bouncers keep littles entertained during supervised awake time and are not for children to sleep in. The calming motion mimics what they experienced in the womb, which ultimately helps soothe them, especially if they're fussy. Many bouncers rely on a baby's natural kicking movement to bounce the unit, while others are electric or battery-powered. Before graduating to gross motor skill-enhancing toys like tricycles and scooters, babies love the feeling of being gently bounced. Called “divided attention,” this theory relies on the brain’s inability to focus on all things at once, which means it has the tendency to momentarily “forget” about other actions or events that are happening in real-time.Īccording to this theory, it is not necessary for people to actually have experienced an event or a stimulus in the past for déjà vu to occur. CAUSES OF DÉJÀ VU: ‘DIVIDED ATTENTION’ THEORYĪnother theory suggests that déjà vu could be triggered by things that we have seen subliminally but we just haven’t registered on a conscious level yet. Should the second transmission get delayed by just slightly longer, then the brain might put a later timestamp on that information and consider it as a different memory from the previous memory already processed by the first transmission? This neurological delay is what could possibly explain the sudden sense of familiarity people feel on certain experiences or events. The information arrives once directly, and a second time after its detour through the right hemisphere of the brain. In testing his theory, not only did he find the temporal lobe of the brain’s left hemisphere to be responsible for sorting incoming information, he also discovered that the temporal lobe receives this incoming information twice, but with a milliseconds-long delay between transmission. According to him, because information enters the processing centers of the brain via more than a single path, it is likely that there are instances that the blending of information might not synchronize correctly. In 1963, Robert Efron at the Veterans Hospital in Boston tested his proposed idea that a delayed neurological response is what causes déjà vu. Essentially, the theory holds that déjà vu happens when two cognitive processes are momentarily out of sync. The dual processing theory is based on the way the human brain processes new information and how it stores short-term and long-term memories. This theory is called “dual processing,” and it is the most widely accepted take on this mysterious phenomenon among psychologists. One theory suggests that déjà vu is caused by memories failing to form correctly in the brain. For those who are fascinated by this phenomenon and want to try to get to the bottom of this psychological mystery, here are three psychological theories that have been proposed to explain déjà vu! CAUSES OF DÉJÀ VU: DUAL PROCESSING THEORY (FALSE MEMORIES) Though not fully proven, some experts in the field generally agree that déjà vu occurs because of a communication issue between the short term and long term memory, a rare occurrence that functions like a circuit breaker.Īlthough the actual cause of déjà vu has yet to be confirmed by science, there are many different theories that attempt to explain how it happens, and they each have interesting implications for the mechanisms of the human brain. Then, there’s the psychological standpoint, which generally considers déjà vu to be caused by a memory mismatch that in turn, causes people to feel that they’ve already experienced a specific event that they know is completely novel to them. Several psychoanalysts, on the other hand, attribute the phenomenon to nothing more than simple fantasy and wish fulfillment of our desires and dreams. To many parapsychologists, this occurs when things and experience from our past lives merge with our present life. There is much speculation as to how and why this phenomenon occurs in people. Déjà vu is a common intuitive feeling that has happened to around 60 to 70 percent of people, and it occurs more frequently to people between 15 and 25 years old compared to any other age group.ĭéjà vu is a rather complex phenomenon, and like many unusual phenomena involving the brain, it has yet to be fully understood. This phenomenon is called “déjà vu,” which in French literally means “already seen.” Essentially, it is a sensation that something we’re experiencing at the moment has happened before, whether it’s just a single element such as a taste, a sight or a sound, or whether it’s an entire sequence of events. Did you ever get that odd and unsettling feeling or sense that you’ve been in an exact situation before? Or you’ve already experienced something that you know for certain you are doing for the very first time? Have you ever felt that overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that you shouldn’t be familiar with at all? WHAT IS DÉJÀ VU? During flood events, it can survive by producing aerenchyma – a tissue that allows roots to exchange gases while submerged in water. Roots: The strong, persistent taproot becomes woody with age and stores nutrients which provide the plant with reserves of energy for spring or stressful periods. Flowers are pollinated by insects, mostly bumblebees and honeybees, which promotes cross-pollination between floral morphs. Populations contain three floral morphs that differ in style length and anther height, a condition known as tristyly. Flowering time is climate-dependent, but in Ontario, purple loosestrife typically flowers as early as June and sometimes continuing into October (mid-June to mid-September is typical). The petals appear wrinkly upon close inspection. Each flower is made up of 5-7 petals, each 7-10 mm long, surrounding a small, yellow centre. Leaves are green in summer but can turn bright red in autumn.įlowers: Very showy, deep pink to purple (occasionally light pink, rarely white) flowers are arranged in a dense terminal spike-like flower cluster. Leaf size, typically 3-12 cm long, will change to maximize light availability – leaf area increases and fine hairs decrease with lower light levels. Leaves are stalkless (attached directly to the stem), broad near the base and tapering towards the tip. Upper leaves and leaflets in the inflorescence are usually alternate (one per node) and smaller than the lower ones. Leaf arrangement is opposite (two per node) or sometimes whorled (three or more per node) along an angular stem. Leaves: Leaves are simple, narrow and lance-shaped or triangular, with smooth edges and fine hairs. New, actively-growing shoots are green, while older stems are reddish to brown or purplish in colour. The form of the stems is somewhat branched, smooth or finely hairy, with evenly-spaced nodes and short, slender branches. Stems are woody, stiff, and square-shaped, with 4-6 sides. Stems: Annual stems arise from a perennating rootstock (underground organ which stores energy and nutrients in order to help the plant survive over winter and produce a new plant in spring). The plant mass grows on average to be 60-120 cm tall, although some plants may grow over 2 m tall and form crowns of up to 1.5 m in diameter. Size and shape: Plants average 1-15 flowering stems, although a single rootstock can produce 30-50 erect stems. These size and life cycle differences should be taken into account when identifying the plant and choosing a management option specific to your region (Purple Loosestrife BMP). Plants in northern regions are smaller and flower earlier than those in southern regions. Purple loosestrife has evolved to tolerate the shorter growing season and colder weather of the central and northern parts of the provinces.

Blackmore confirmed that all of his marriages were celestial marriages in accordance with FLDS rules and practices.” “He spoke openly about his practice of polygamy,” Donegan said. Blackmore even made two corrections to a detailed list of his alleged wives, she said. Donegan disagreed with assertions by Blackmore and his lawyer that the records should be given little or no weight, saying she found them reliable.ĭonegan said Winston Blackmore’s adherence to the practices and beliefs of the religious group were never in dispute, nothing that he did not deny his marriages to police in 2009. Much of the evidence in the trial came from marriage and personal records seized by law enforcement at a church compound in Texas in 2008. “There was nothing contrived or rehearsed in her answers. “She was a careful witness,” Donegan said. Justice Sheri Ann Donegan praised Jane Blackmore as a highly credible and reliable witness. The mainstream Mormon church renounced polygamy in the late 19th century and disputes any connection to the fundamentalist group’s form of Mormonism.Īt the 12-day trial earlier this year, witnesses included mainstream Mormon experts, law enforcement officials who worked on the investigation and Jane Blackmore, a former wife of Winston Blackmore who left the Canadian community in 2003.

The use of permissible consumer fireworks is allowed: The sale of permissible consumer fireworks is allowed: Under current Arizona law, firework usage is permitted 27 days of the year around the holidays of Cinco De Mayo, Independence Day, Christmas and New Year's. Arizona Revised Statutes Section 36-1606 regulates when permissible fireworks can be bought, sold and used in Arizona. The law does not apply to novelty items: snappers, snap caps, glow worms, snakes, party poppers and sparklers. However, during specific dates, state law supersedes this requirement and allows the sale and use. The Phoenix Fire Code prevents the sale and use of consumer fireworks in the city of Phoenix.

In 2019, for example, Glendale police responded to 735 calls for service related to the illegal use of fireworks, but only wrote up one offense report. That's because, in Arizona, police must actually witness the use of the illegal fireworks to issue a citation. They said the increase was intended as more of an education campaign than anything else. Glendale City Council members, when increasing the fines a couple of years ago, said they wanted to send a clear message: Illegal use of fireworks won't be tolerated. The citation for a first offense is $1,500, and $2,000 for the second offense. Glendale's fines are the highest in the Valley. If you're caught setting them off in certain cities, you could face a hefty penalty. In general, the kinds that are illegal are those that are most likely to annoy your neighbor - the ones that shoot up in the air and make loud noises. Those are considered unsafe for at-home use.

General Motors’ Australian subsidiary Holden also produced a Chevrolet coupé utility in 1935, and Studebaker produced the Coupé Express from 1937 to 1939. Bandt went on to manage Ford's Advanced Design Department, being responsible for the body engineering of the XP, XT, XW, and XA series Ford Falcon utilities. Ford designer Lew Bandt developed a suitable solution, and the first coupé utility model was released in 1934. įord Australia was the first company to produce a coupé utility as a result of a 1932 letter from the wife of a farmer in Victoria, Australia, asking for "a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays". The concept of a two-door vehicle based on a passenger car chassis with a tray at the rear began in the United States in the 1920s with the roadster utility (also called "roadster pickup" or "light delivery") models. Renamed Caballero in 1978, it was also produced through the 1987 model year. GMC's badge engineered El Camino variant, the Sprint, was introduced for the 1971 model year. Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978–1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform.Īlthough based on corresponding General Motors car lines, the vehicle is classified in the United States as a pickup. Introduced in the 1959 model year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its first run, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body.
