And, then came this black woman Henrietta Lacks who was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Before the scientists found HeLa, no other human cells could live by themselves in culture. In science, whatever discoveries, medicines & research is being done since 1951, is because of HeLa cells. I won’t add a Goodreads description with this article, because I would love to describe the book in brief myself. Want to know why? Read below! ~~WHAT IS HELA?~~ It was mentioned somewhere in the book, “It would make a great story for Rolling Stone – the perfect mix of science and human interest.” I couldn’t agree more. Because I decided to venture more into nonfiction, I came across this & I will eternally be grateful that I read it. It stayed on the Bestseller List for 6 long years. Rebecca Skloot worked on it for 10 years after which it was finally published in 2010. This is a nonfiction book lasting 370 pages, which is a combination of science, medicine, biography & history. This is a book about science & ethics & ethics in science & the life & story of Henrietta Lacks. ![]() The amazing book is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Hi Readers!

The water in the well is the inexhaustible source of life. Or the Jug breaks, it brings misfortune (185).Ī further commentary on the hexagram goes on to explain how to interpret the image of the well: it is the center of the village or town, for without a well, the community could not exist. The I Ching explains the meaning of the image and so makes this judgment concerning the situation: The wood goes down into the earth to bring up water, as in water drawn into a bucket, or roots reaching down into the earth for water. Searching in the table of 64 hexagrams, I found that the top trigram= “K’AN, the abysmal, water,” and the lower trigram=”SUN, the gentle, wind, wood.” Together they form the hexagram CHING/ THE WELL, hexagram # 48 (185). ![]() Even number totals are broken lines odd numbers are straight lines.

For about a decade I was quite enthralled with the I-Ching and frequently consulted the oracle by casting the yarrow sticks or coins to conjure up the hexagrams that would show me the current configuration of my state of being, what forces were bringing themselves to bear at that moment, and what I should and should not do before my situation evolved or “changed” into another configuration of forces and events.Īs Jung did before he wrote his forward to my Wilhelm translation of the I Ching into German (subsequently translated from German to English by C.F. ![]() When I was asked if I might write a review of Stephen Falconer’s new collection of poems, I thought I’d at least take a crack at it, being somewhat familiar with the I Ching, discovering it through the writings of Karl Jung and his theory of synchronicity, (a hypothesis that the coincidence of events in time and space, even subjective and objective ones, can be more meaningful than mere chance), though I do not know Chinese and am not a scholar of Chinese history with a knowledge of ancient texts.

Interestingly, the game lacks the dynamic resolution option that was present in titles like Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus and Assassin's Creed Origins.

The Quest Pro’s hand tracking isn’t good enough to make us put down the controllers, either we’re still waiting on a headset maker to make it feel truly intuitive.Oculus Quest is a virtual reality headset developed by Oculus, a brand of Facebook Technologies, LLC, released on May 21, 2019. It was difficult to orient a pen correctly to write on a whiteboard, and it was easier to pull off the headset to chat in Slack than navigate back to the app inside the headset (I also was late to a Zoom meeting in the real world when I became too immersed in VR). ![]() We found it frustrating to even log into Adobe Acrobat-we had to check our email for a code, but the Quest Pro’s cameras for augmented reality-which now display color instead of the Quest 2’s black and white-are so bad we couldn’t read our phone’s screen from inside the headset (AR games felt like a gimmicky bust, too). We’re also curious about who exactly is spending all day working in VR. But the fact is you can do all of these things in a Quest 2 headset for a third of the price given the way people use VR headsets today, tracking expressions and a sharper screen for reading documents just doesn’t justify the higher price tag. You can edit documents in Adobe Acrobat or meet with coworkers, draw on a whiteboard, and type on your computer in Meta Horizon Workrooms. Meta has marketed the Quest Pro as a solution for the workplace. The lack of external sensors that a headset like the HTC Vive Pro 2 uses to carefully replicate your hand movements in VR might be missing here, but we found the Quest 2’s controllers still accurate enough to fly through difficult levels of Beat Saber without frustration. In practice, we didn’t notice a change in quality between the controllers. While Ars Technica reports that the newer controllers are less accurate than those that came with the original Quest, Tested notes that they seem to simply operate in a different way. The Quest 2’s controllers are intuitive to use and easy to hold for long periods. Sensors built into the headset track the location of the controllers, so moving your hands physically moves them in VR. Your thumbs can reach a small joystick, plus A, B, and home buttons. The two controllers are molded to sit in your hand, with your pointer fingers resting on triggers and your middle fingers resting on “grip” buttons. The Quest 2’s Touch controllers, which are similar to the original Rift Touch controllers, are among our favorite styles of VR controllers. Headsets with high-quality built-in headphones or speakers eliminate an extra accessory to buy and still leave open the option of swapping in your own pair if you care to. Built-in sound: Although audiophiles who already own high-end headphones will appreciate a headphone jack, most people don’t already own headphones that are nice enough for VR (and good sound really does make VR more immersive).Good controllers: The controllers should be comfortable to hold, and they shouldn’t have overly complicated button layouts.Good display specs in particular assist in creating a better VR experience because they help you forget that you are looking at a screen instead of something real. Industry-leading specs: The screen resolution, sensors, weight, and size should be in line with those of other top VR headsets.While we usually conduct a test panel to check for fit on different face shapes, during the pandemic we’ve relied on forums and other journalists’ reports instead. It shouldn’t feel too heavy or get too hot. Comfort: The headset should sit snugly on a variety of face shapes without being painful.There should also be evidence that developers are continuing to develop for the headset. ![]() Variety of content: Games and applications should be available across a variety of genres.Freedom of movement: The headset can switch between corded and cord-free experiences, which allows for maximum freedom of movement and portability.Room-scale tracking: Whether the sensors are built into the headset or meant to be mounted on a wall, the headset you buy should come with the ability to track you across an area the size of an average living room. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Ac unit calculator india![]() Thus, BEE defined a new seasonal EER rating standard called ISEER in India. Air conditioners consume a lot of energy, resulting in high electricity bills. Since the temperatures across India vary and see extreme changes through the seasons, the EER standards method of calculating performance were less than ideal. This BTU number tells you how fast an air conditioner can cool a room, with a fixed temperature outside. Air conditioners are rated in BTU (short for British Thermal Unit) regardless of their capacities and tonnage. This is meant for home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and other electrical equipment. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has a grading system called Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). We shed some light on the different aspects of EER, ISEER, star rating standards and tell you why they are so important when you are buying an air conditioner. In comparison, using star ratings is one of the easiest ways to determine and compare energy efficiency of home appliances. Terms such as EER and ISEER are used especially for air conditioners and refrigerators but what do they mean? We have read about it on the web, and even heard people talking about higher star rating being better. Please enter the information in the calculator and see an estimate of your monthly electric bill because of your treadmill.Most of us have heard about star ratings for home appliances. To make the process of buying a treadmill easier, we’ve created a simple calculator that you can use to determining the approximate cost of using a treadmill. Treadmill Power Consumption and Bill Estimate Calculator Please note that these are approximate values, and the real-world usage will be different depending on the other factors that we’ve discussed. So, it will consume 2.237 Units of electricity per hour. So, a 3 HP treadmill will use 2237 Watts or 2.237 KiloWatts. ![]() So, it will consume 1.491 Units of electricity per hour. So, a 2 HP treadmill will use 1491.4 Watts or 1.491 KiloWatts. So, a 1 HP treadmill will use 745.7 Watts or. Once we have that, we have to determine how much KWH (or units) it will consume. So, to answer the question, how much unit of electricity consumed by a treadmill in India, all we have to do is convert the HP to watts. HP can be easily converted to watts with a simple formula.Ī unit of electricity is measured in kilo-watt hour, which means 1 kilo-watt (1000 watts) power consumed for one hour. A can have a motor capacity anywhere from 1HP to 5HP. So, we will first calculate the approximate electric consumption of a treadmill based on the motor’s capacity.Ī motor’s capacity is expressed in HP (Horse Power). Now that you understand the factors that affect a treadmill’s power consumption, let us determine how many units of electricity will be consumed by a treadmill.įrom the factors that we discussed, the only constant predictable factor is the motor capacity, the rest depends on person to person.
