Another letter, from Susan Vance of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, was sent in October to Archbishop Shelton Fabre of Louisville, who oversees the Knoxville diocese, saying that the diocese is silencing victims of clergy sexual abuse. ![]() Apostolic visitations often are a signal that church leaders are concerned about a matter and gives them a chance to speak directly with people involved.Īdditionally, a letter from parishioners in Chattanooga was sent in October to high-ranking church officials detailing concerns about Bishop Richard Stika, who leads the 70,000-member diocese located in East Tennessee. To protect them from retaliation, Knox News is not identifying the two priests and a third person who has firsthand knowledge of the visitation.Īpostolic visitations are ordered by church authorities to dig into the spiritual well-being of a diocese. The visit - known as an apostolic visitation - was headed by Bishops Barry Knestout of Richmond and Michael Burbidge of Arlington, according to one of two priests with direct knowledge of the trip who spoke to Knox News.

Last week, Best was notified that police had a warrant to search him. The phone was used to send sexually explicit text messages and arrange meetings, according to the complaint. In future interviews with investigators, the teen said Best told him to keep their relationship a secret, going as far as to purchase a “secret phone” for them to communicate. In January 2022, the teen was given a forensic medical exam, the results of which were consistent with the reported sexual abuse.Īuthorities including the FBI, the United States Postal Inspection Service and the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General obtained security camera footage of the building, which confirmed the two were inside wearing the same clothes they were seen in later that night. The teen gave police a detailed description of Best’s office, including a poster on the wall and a “cabinet full of keys.” Roughly 10 days later, the teen had an interview with police where he described personal physical characteristics of Best and detailed their sexual activity, including sex inside an empty office at the Post Office facility on Weisgarber Road on the day of the car crash. ![]()

Another appears briefly in the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball.Ī gold 1966 Town Landau was driven by Dean Martin as Matt Helm in the 1966 film Murderers' Row. A white 1964 Thunderbird convertible was used by Felix Leiter in a chase scene in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, starring Sean Connery. The transmission used on early build 390 V8 equipped T-Birds was the Cruise-O-Matic MX, however late build 390 and all 428 V8 equipped T-Birds had the new C6 3 speed automatic installed.Ī black 1964 Thunderbird convertible had a notable role in the TV series Highlander: The Series as protagonist Duncan Macleod’s main mode of transportation. It became by far the best-selling model, accounting for 35,105 units of the 1966 model year's 69,176 units sold. ![]() The Landau trim package added to the Town Sedan a padded roof and landau S-bars. The rear taillights were revised, now a 3 piece unit going the full width across the rear, the backup light now located in the center section replaced the formerly rear roll pan mounted lamps.Ī new Town Sedan model was offered, which featured a roof with blind quarter panels for a more 'formal' look, at the cost of rear visibility, and removed the retractable side window for rear passengers which were offered only on the Hardtop Coupe and Convertible. A flatter hood, re-shaped front fenders, new headlight buckets, new egg crate grille with large Thunderbird emblem, new bumper guards, a single bumper bar, and painted roll pan replaced the previous two model year's two-piece front bumper. The larger 428-cubic-inch (7.0 L) V-8 became optional, rated at 345 hp (257 kW) and providing a notable improvement in 0-60 mph acceleration to about 9 seconds. Opening the trunk on convertibles for storage required that the lid be opened electrically, without deploying or retracting the folding convertible top.įor 1966, the 390-cubic-inch V8's power was increased to 315 hp (235 kW).

The popular "Tilt-Away" steering column continued, and was a Thunderbird recognized feature that was later shared on other upper-level Ford Products. Exterior trim was revised, including a new grille, Thunderbird emblem replacing the block letters on the front edge of the hood, simulated front fender vent trim, revised Thunderbird scripts now located on the rear edge of the quarter panels, and revised taillight lens trim and a single center emblem replacing the dual lens birds and block letters respectively. Several features intended for the new generation were delayed until 1965, when front disc brakes became standard equipment and sequential turn signals which flashed three bulbs in the broad, horizontal tail lights from inside to outside were added the latter had been delayed by vehicle lighting regulations in the United States. 1965 model year saw the debut of sequential turn signals ![]() ![]() We return to consoles with some big changes. Wow, all that and we haven’t even started on the What’s New? and Bug Fixes - let’s go ahead and jump into those.

With a temperature around 330 Kelvin or 140 degrees Fahrenheit, TOI-1231b is one of the coolest, small exoplanets accessible for atmospheric studies discovered thus far. "However, the planet itself is actually larger than earth and a little bit smaller than Neptune - we could call it a sub-Neptune."īurt and Dragomir, who actually initiated this research while they were Fellows at MIT's Kavli Institute, worked with scientists specializing in observing and characterizing the atmospheres of small planets to figure out which current and future space-based missions might be able to peer into TOI-1231 b's outer layers to inform researchers exactly what kinds of gases are swirling around the planet. "Even though TOI 1231b is eight times closer to its star than the Earth is to the Sun, its temperature is similar to that of Earth, thanks to its cooler and less bright host star," says Dragomir. The smaller the star, the less massive the star, the more the effect of the planet can be detected. When the star is smaller and less massive, it makes detection methods work better because the planet suddenly plays a bigger role as it stands out more easily in relation to the star," explained Dragomir. ![]() "Another advantage of exoplanets orbiting M dwarf hosts is that we can measure their masses easier because the ratio of the planet mass to the stellar mass is also larger. TOI-1231 b is pretty similar in size and density to Neptune, so we think it has a similarly large, gaseous atmosphere." "Those values in turn allowed us to calculate the planet's bulk density and hypothesize about what the planet is made out of. "Working with a group of excellent astronomers spread across the globe, we were able to assemble the data necessary to characterize the host star and measure both the radius and mass of the planet," said Burt. NASA JPL scientist Jennifer Burt, the lead author of the paper, along with her collaborators including Diana Dragomir, an assistant professor in UNM's Department of Physics and Astronomy, measured both the radius and mass of the planet. TOI-1231b's 24-day period, therefore, makes its discovery even more valuable. Because 74 percent of TESS' total sky coverage is only observed for 28 days, the majority of TESS exoplanets detected have periods less than 14 days. Exoplanets must transit their host stars at least twice within TESS 's observing span to be detected with the correct period by the Science Processing Operations Center (SPOC) pipeline and the Quick Look Pipeline (QLP), which search the 2-minute and 30-minute cadence TESS data, respectively. In a sense, this creates a larger shadow on the surface of the star, making planets around M dwarfs more easily detectable and easier to study.Īlthough it enables the detection of exoplanets across the sky, TESS's survey strategy also produces significant observational biases based on orbital period. Imagine an Earth-like planet passing in front of a star the size of the sun, it's going to block out a tiny bit of light but if it's passing in front of a star that's a lot smaller, the proportion of light that's blocked out will be larger. Because an M dwarf is smaller, when a planet of a given size transits the star, the amount of light that is blocked out by the planet is larger, making the transit more easily detectable. M dwarfs are smaller and possess a fraction of the sun's mass and have low luminosity. M dwarf stars, also known as a red dwarf, are the most common type of star in the Milky Way making up some 70 percent of all stars in the galaxy. This approach has already proven its capability to detect both large and small planets around stars ranging from sun-like down to low-mass M dwarf stars. The observing strategy adopted by NASA's TESS, which divides each hemisphere into 13 sectors that are surveyed for roughly 28 days, is producing the most comprehensive all-sky search for transiting planets. As the planets orbit their hosts, the measured stellar velocities vary periodically, revealing the planetary presence and information about their mass and orbit. The PFS is a sophisticated instrument that detects exoplanets through their gravitational influence on their host stars. The exoplanet, TOI-1231 b, was detected using photometric data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and followed up with observations using the Planet Finder Spectrograph (PFS) on the Magellan Clay telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The research, titled TOI-1231 b: A Temperate, Neptune-Sized Planet Transiting the Nearby M3 Dwarf NLTT 24399, will be published in a future issue of The Astronomical Journal. ![]() ![]() The big sizes make them particularly good for eye-catching cocktail rings or pendants.

The Best Graphics Cards for Mining Cryptocurrencies The higher the hash rate (computational power) of the graphics card (or a group of cards), the more chances it has to solve the mathematical problem (algorithm) and get the corresponding reward. How does it work? A specific piece of software offers the same mathematical problem to both our GPU and other miners connected to the network at the same time the first mining node to solve it gets a reward in the cryptocurrency being mined. Unlike CPUs that can only run one code in series, GPUs can mine different segments of a cryptocurrency’s blockchain simultaneously and collaboratively operate with different algorithms. In 2021, sales of graphics cards skyrocketed, and not because of an increase in demand for high-quality gaming visuals: it happened because of the ability of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) to mine cryptocurrencies. ![]() How to choose a graphics card to mine Bitcoins and other cryptocurrency? Changelly explains Why Are Graphics Cards Used for Mining? Crypto mining can be expensive, so you need to make sure that you have a budget that can cover the initial investment. You also need to contemplate the price of the GPU and how much you can afford to spend. This is important because the faster it is, the faster the graphics card is able to mine coins. When choosing a graphics card for crypto mining, there are several things to consider.įirst, you need to think of memory speed. By joining a pool, you can share the costs and increase your chances of earning rewards. Because of this, many miners join dedicated mining pools, which are groups of people who come together to mine crypto coins. It is worth mentioning that the prices of these rigs are very high - around 9,000 USD - for this reason, they are not affordable to everyone. Additionally, multiple cards can also help improve stability and reduce the risk of downtime.Īs such, for those serious about making money from cryptocurrency mining, a multi-card rig is often the best option. For one, it can significantly increase the amount of currency that can be mined. While a single card can be enough to get started, investing in a rig with multiple cards can provide a number of benefits.

Both come with your subscription and sync, so you can switch between devices seamlessly.There is a lot of debate on whether or not listening to Spanish music can help you learn the language. The best part? You don’t have to choose between app or desktop. And explore dynamic features, like Seek and Speak, where you can point at an object in the real world and get a translation. Select a 5-10 minute lesson and sneak it in while you wait in line or for your ride to show up. ĭownload a unit and knock it out on the train or a flight. Surround yourself with Spanish whenever, wherever with the Rosetta Stone app. Rosetta Stone’s language lessons are built to help you learn Spanish vocabulary and correct pronunciation for everyday conversations. You’ll first focus on learning basic words, then you’ll move onto learning longer Spanish phrases, and then towards learning to understand and speak Spanish with confidence. Rosetta Stone’s digestible, 10-minute language lessons are designed to lead you along this natural path to learning. Once you have developed the ability to correctly pronounce basic Spanish words and short phrases, you can move onto learning the longer phrases that make up so much of real-world conversation. TruAccent is a powerful tool for helping you learn and speak the Spanish language. It’s also adjustable, which allows you to tweak your accent as needed. TruAccent compares your voice to native and non-native speakers-in real-time-so you get the feedback you need for the most accurate pronunciation. Rosetta Stone helps you dial in your pronunciation with our TruAccent™ speech-recognition engine. Some Spanish language experts suggest new learners practice making the “tt” sound, as it sounds in the English word butter.ĭeveloping the skills to accurately pronounce Spanish requires immediate feedback on your pronunciation efforts. This distinct sound is formed by tapping the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth, about a third of the way back in the mouth. As one example, the letter r is pronounced differently and takes some practice for most new learners. Of note, Spanish does have a few pronunciation distinctions that can make it a challenge for new learners. This practical approach to learning Spanish will help you become a confident and comfortable Spanish speaker. That’s why it’s strongly advised that new Spanish language learners focus on understanding and pronouncing basic words and phrases. This exhausting effort can lead to the undesired outcome of having little ability to participate in everyday Spanish conversation. Unfortunately, new learners tend to get sidetracked trying to memorize lengthy lists of Spanish vocabulary words and phrases. It is a necessary step to understand and be understood by any of the 437 million people around the world who speak Spanish. Regardless of your reason, you can get off to a great start by first learning how to pronounce some basic Spanish words and phrases. Other people choose to learn Spanish due to plans to work, vacation, or volunteer in any of the 20 countries around the world where Spanish is the official language. There’s no question, Spanish does pop up in popular music, movies, and TV shows frequently. One main reason people decide to learn Spanish is because they find themselves encountering the language in their everyday routines. That way, you’ll be ready to handle situations with ease and confidence. So it’s not just about the features, but what you’re able to do because of them. What makes it so effective is that we prepare you to use your new language in your everyday life. Rosetta Stone’s Dynamic Immersion® methodology teaches you to speak the language, not just memorize the words. As you progress on your learning journey, you can slowly incorporate other words with more specific meanings. Especially with common phrases, getting a handle on one option will allow you to communicate in most circumstances. = They listen to music.Īlthough Spanish can seem complicated at the start, remember that you don’t have to tackle it all at once. If you’re talking about someone else listening to music, you can simply conjugate the verb “escuchar” to refer to the appropriate person/people. To say “listening to music” in Spanish you would start with “ escuchando música.” This implies that you are listening to music. ![]() ![]() ![]() The degree measures run in both directions to end at 180°. The outer scale starts at zero (0) on the right near B and the inner scale starts on the left, near point A. The 2 scales on a protractor, allow us to measure clockwise or counter-clockwise angles. Since we're learning to measure angles in this lesson, we'll study how to use the protractor. The table of equivalences is:ġ° (degree) = 60' (minutes) and 1' (minute) = 60" (seconds).Īs always in math, there are symbols ( °, ', and " ) to represent degrees, minutes and seconds. When we measure angles, the largest units are called degrees instead of hours. On the clock, an hour (largest unit) is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds. We still use it today on our clocks to tell time and to measure angles. These tools allow us not only to measure but also to construct angles.Īncient mathematicians and scientists used a sexagesimal system based on the number 60 to measure angles because they most often measured the circular motion of the sun, moon and stars. When we open our first geometry kit, we see it includes a ruler, 2 right triangles, a set of compasses and a protractor (diagram). In triangle XYZ, we know exactly which angle we mean when we say angle X, so in such a case, 1 letter will do. But in the next picture, there are four different angles at B, namely angles ABD, ABE, DBC and CBE, so if I say angle B, which one do I mean? Therefore, it's best to use 3 letters to name an angle if there are many angles at a common vertex. In the diagram above, it's easy to see what angle we mean when we say angle B. Sometimes, we use only 1 letter to name an angle, but that can be confusing when there's more than one angle at the same vertex. The angle above can be named either ABC or CBA - note that B, the vertex, is in the middle, between A and C. We generally name angles like the one in the diagram above with 3 letters and we always put the vertex letter between the other two just the way it appears in the picture. They rotate around a fixed point - (if they didn't, they'd fly off the bus) - through an angle large enough so that together, they wipe enough of the windshield for the driver to see clearly. Think about the windshield wipers on the school bus. Turning is also called rotating - so angles are the result of a rotation or turn. Once we've got the cover of our math book open, we TURN the page. Then we turned BA upwards to create the angle ABC. It's as if BA started out lying on top of BC, pinned down at B. ![]() The line segments AB and BC are the arms.īC is called the initial arm and AB is called the terminal arm. The point where they meet on the book's spine, is the vertex. With our book, the bottom edges of the cover and first page are the arms and The lines that form the angle are called arms. The point at which the lines meet is called the vertex. When you open your math book part way as in the picture, the bottom edge of the cover forms an acute angle with the bottom edge of the first page.Īn angle is formed when 2 lines meet at a point. In more advanced math courses, we'll call this ray a vector. Note: QP is a ray which has direction so we must name it in the correct order. The small black square is used to indicate 90°. Perpendicular lines meet at right angles forming four 90° angles at their intersection. ![]() Intersecting lines cross each other at a single point. We name or label it by the endpoint and any other point on it. X is the midpoint so SX = XT.Ī ray is a part of a line that extends indefinitely in one direction from one endpoint. We name or label a line by indicating any two points on it.Ī line segment is a part of a line precisely defined and named by two endpoints. When we join A to B, B to C and C to A, we haveģ line segments that define a triangle ABC.ĬDor DC is a line - a path of points extending forever in opposite directions. We use a dot - not a potato! - to represent it, then we name or label it with an upper case (Capital) letter. Once we've heard the expression "a ray of sunshine" we know instinctively what it means.Įach ray of sunshine starts at the sun - a point in space,Īnd continues on forever, in one direction.Ī point is a precise location or spot in space. One term we'll discuss that we generally use correctly is a ray. Geometry, however, demands that we use precise terms to define things, so let's learn to call lines, points and angles by their mathematically correct names. In everyday speech, most of us use the word "line" incorrectly. Points turn into lines, then lines become the sides or arms of angles when they intersect each other. The 3-dimensional space in which we live is made up of points, lines and angles. ![]() ![]() ![]() You should end up with something like this: A full spread as generated by the start up wizard. Pick Left Page from the First Page Is dropdown and then change the Number Of Pages to 4 (although you can insert and delete pages as necessary later on) and press Ok. Margin and bleed measurements for your magazine. The final measurements could be something like what you see below. Likewise, you don’t need a bleed on the inside of a page because the cutter only cuts along the outside, top, and bottom of a page. The inside margin will usually be wider than the outside, since the nearer the center a block of text is, the harder it is to read because of how the page bends. You must also remember this is a magazine and the pages will be bound together, so both margins and bleeds will vary from inside (the side of the page nearer the center of the spread) and outside (the side of the page further from the center of the spread) and, sometimes, from top to bottom too. It also means that, anything you want to go over the edge of the page, say for example a background image, must go over by at least 3 millimeters. This means you should not place anything you don’t want cut off less than 3 millimeters from the edge of the page. A usual margin of error for modern day machinery is in the +/- 3 millimeter range, so the cutter’s blade can fall anywhere between 3 millimeters inside the page and 3 millimeters outside of it. There is a margin of error, and that is what the bleed compensates for. As with all things mechanical, the cutters are not 100% accurate. Magazine pages (and flyers, and book pages) are printed on sheets larger than the final page itself. Margins fall within the page and bleeds fall outside the page.īleeds on the other hand fall outside the page. Margins frame the main content on the page, they are limits inside the page itself. You can also set the margins and bleeds for your standard page. While you’re at it, set the Default Unit to millimeters and set the page size to A4, which is pretty standard for a European publications.

However, be advised that this task is far from trivial and the end result may not be very stable or even work at all, so install 1.5 at your own risk. There are two branches: the stable 1.4.x branch will give you most of what you need, but if you’re looking for bleeding edge and more features, you can try compiling the snapshot from the 1.5.x branch. Scribus is available in the repositories of most GNU/Linux distros, as well as for MacOS X and Windows. Today you’ll be learning how to use page templates, known in the trade as Master Pages.
