Cottleston pie tao of pooh11/29/2023 Please give me a slice of Cottleston Pie. Please give me a slice of my inner nature. I’m not quite there yet at realizing my nature as an invaluable resource for accomplishment, but I’m working on it. In time, you will realize that it is an invaluable resource for accomplishment, for you have a calling in the world.” Prior to this you will resist your nature, thinking it is a limitation upon you. In other words, you are made specifically for something that you have not yet comprehended. This will erase all cause you have for self-condemnation, for your nature represents a usefulness that you have not yet realized. As your calling emerges, you will realize why you think and act the way you do, and all of this will be brought into true balance and harmony. It is for this reason that your mind is the way it is and that you have a specific nature that is distinct from others. “You have a calling in this world because you were sent here to do something. Steps to Knowledge makes such a promise in Step 231, “ I have a calling in this world.” I trust my deepest inclinations, and it seems to help. In the world of Knowledge, I find things to be good for, and they find me. But in the world of Knowledge, it is as if people rest under my sheltering branches, and stroll beneath me, enjoying the bumps on my branches. I sometimes feel like I have been like Hui-tse’s crooked, tough, bumpy tree, not good for being made into things. I have felt utterly uncooperative in not responding to their efforts to make me into something. People have had beautiful dreams of making me into something all my life. Since it would not be endangered by an axe, what could threaten its existence? It is useless to you only because you want to make it into something else and do not use it in its proper way.” But you could make use of the shade it provides, rest under its sheltering branches, and stroll beneath it, admiring its character and appearance. “You complain that your tree is not valuable as lumber. But for all its strength, it cannot catch a mouse.” It stands like a stone, or a cloud in the sky. On the other hand, a huge yak is not easily caught or overcome. But when its attention is focused on such things, it can be easily caught with a net. Crouching low, it can leap in any direction, pursuing whatever it is after. “As you know,” Chuang-tse replied, “a cat is very skilled at capturing its prey. Therefore, no one pays attention to them.” Your teachings are the same–useless, without value. No builder would turn his head to look at it. Its branches and trunk are crooked and tough, covered with bumps and depressions. Hui-tse said to Chuang-tse, “I have a large tree which no carpenter can cut into lumber. “What has disappointed you but the misappropriation of your abilities? What grieves and angers you but the misappropriation of other people’s abilities.”īenjamin Hoff connected this song to a passage from the writings of Chuang-tse: If a fish judges itself by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. It merely pinpoints the real purpose behind your individuality and its great promise for the future. “This distinction does not elevate you above or place you below anyone else. Step 12 of the 365 steps of Steps to Knowledge is “ My individuality is to express life itself.” Steps to Knowledge, the book of spiritual practice of the New Message from God, addresses this subject. It sounds a little unfair to the fly to me. The chapter that resonated with me is the chapter titled “Cottleston Pie,” a song that Winnie-the-Pooh sang in the 1926 children’s classic “Winnie-the-Pooh” by A. A particular chapter in this book spoke eloquently to my condition. The universe recommended “The Tao of Pooh” by Benjamin Hoff to me in this way. I consider this a small nudge from the universe. Every so often people in two unrelated corners of my world recommend a book to me.

A proton charge11/29/2023 Mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of a system that is, K + U = constant. For conservative forces, such as the electrostatic force, conservation of energy states that mechanical energy is a constant. The total energy of a system is conserved if there is no net addition (or subtraction) due to work or heat transfer. Nuclear decay energies are on the order of 1 MeV (1,000,000 eV) per event and can thus produce significant biological damage. ( 30,000 eV ÷ 5 eV per molecule = 6000 molecules). If a proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 30 kV, it acquires an energy of 30 keV (30,000 eV) and can break up as many as 6000 of these molecules ( 30,000 eV ÷ 5 eV per molecule = 6000 molecules). For example, about 5 eV of energy is required to break up certain organic molecules. The electron-volt is commonly employed in submicroscopic processes-chemical valence energies and molecular and nuclear binding energies are among the quantities often expressed in electron-volts. These simple relationships between accelerating voltage and particle charges make the electron-volt a simple and convenient energy unit in such circumstances. Similarly, an ion with a double positive charge accelerated through 100 V gains 200 eV of energy. A potential difference of 100,000 V (100 kV) gives an electron an energy of 100,000 eV (100 keV), and so on. It follows that an electron accelerated through 50 V gains 50 eV. Īn electron accelerated through a potential difference of 1 V is given an energy of 1 eV. (Note that in terms of energy, “downhill” for the electron is “uphill” for a positive charge.) Since energy is related to voltage by Δ U = q Δ V Δ U = q Δ V, we can think of the joule as a coulomb-volt.ġ eV = ( 1.60 × 10 −19 C ) ( 1 V ) = ( 1.60 × 10 −19 C ) ( 1 J/C ) = 1.60 × 10 −19 J. The electron gains kinetic energy that is later converted into another form-light in the television tube, for example. An electron is accelerated between two charged metal plates, as it might be in an old-model television tube or oscilloscope. It is useful to have an energy unit related to submicroscopic effects.įigure 7.13 shows a situation related to the definition of such an energy unit. The particle may do its damage by direct collision, or it may create harmful X-rays, which can also inflict damage. For example, even a tiny fraction of a joule can be great enough for these particles to destroy organic molecules and harm living tissue. But on a submicroscopic scale, such energy per particle (electron, proton, or ion) can be of great importance. The energy per electron is very small in macroscopic situations like that in the previous example-a tiny fraction of a joule. How many electrons would go through a 24.0-W lamp each second from a 12-volt car battery? The Electron-Volt To have a physical quantity that is independent of test charge, we define electric potential V (or simply potential, since electric is understood) to be the potential energy per unit charge: But we do know that because F → = q E → F → = q E →, the work, and hence Δ U, Δ U, is proportional to the test charge q. d → and the direction and magnitude of F → F → can be complex for multiple charges, for odd-shaped objects, and along arbitrary paths.Calculating the work directly may be difficult, since W = F → Therefore, although potential energy is perfectly adequate in a gravitational system, it is convenient to define a quantity that allows us to calculate the work on a charge independent of the magnitude of the charge. (The default assumption in the absence of other information is that the test charge is positive.) We briefly defined a field for gravity, but gravity is always attractive, whereas the electric force can be either attractive or repulsive. Recall that earlier we defined electric field to be a quantity independent of the test charge in a given system, which would nonetheless allow us to calculate the force that would result on an arbitrary test charge. Apply conservation of energy to electric systems.Describe systems in which the electron-volt is a useful unit.Calculate electric potential and potential difference from potential energy and electric field.Define electric potential, voltage, and potential difference.By the end of this section, you will be able to:

Top rated crossover suvs11/28/2023 Clever touches like a grocery bag hook integrated into the glove box door and an in-car trash bin make a big difference when you’re on the road. It makes time spent traveling in the XC40 less of a chore. We’ve driven the Swedish firm’s smallest soft-roader, and we walked away impressed with its human-centric, driver-friendly interior. The best compact crossover is the Volvo XC40. Who it’s for: Those who want the nicest and easiest compact crossover. Why you should buy this: It’s practical, stylish, and high-tech. Our full Subaru Ascent first-drive review The best compact crossover: Volvo XC40 Ronan Glon/Digital Trends It handles twisty back roads like a much smaller car and even offers a useful 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. While not a sports car, the Subaru Ascent is also quite nice to drive, and Subaru makes all-wheel drive standard. A head-up display that shows safety warnings is available. The Ascent comes with Subaru’s EyeSight bundle of driver-assist features, which includes adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane-keep assist. Similar to versions offered on certain General Motors and Nissan vehicles, it displays a feed from a rear-mounted camera in the mirror, giving the driver a view unobstructed by rear pillars or passengers’ heads. In addition to plenty of space (including a headline-grabbing 19 cupholders), the seven- or eight-seat Ascent boasts a solid array of tech features and impressive driving dynamics.Īvailable tech features include built-in Wi-Fi that can support up to eight devices and a rearview mirror that displays streaming video. The Ascent was designed primarily to keep Subaru owners who needed bigger vehicles from defecting to other brands, but it’s a solid choice even if your current ride isn’t a Forester or an Outback. Why you should buy this: It’s a big vehicle that doesn’t feel big. Read our full Toyota RAV4 review The best midsize crossover: Subaru Ascent Image used with permission by copyright holder Toyota also offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants for better efficiency. These figures are impressive, considering the RAV4’s size and weight, and they illustrate what often makes crossovers more attractive than traditional SUVs. Front-wheel drive comes standard and helps the Toyota RAV4 return 30 mpg in a combined cycle, while all-wheel drive is offered at an extra cost. Yet, it’s more efficient than its footprint suggests. The best iPhone car mounts in 2023: top 10 best ones you can buyĢ022 Infiniti QX60 aims to make school runs more stylish The best electric cars you can buy in 2023 There’s even a TRD-badged variant that’s better off-road than the regular model. It’s reasonably big, so it can carry five adults and their gear with ease, and it offers a relatively generous amount of ground clearance, so it’s not afraid of light off-roading. The Toyota RAV4 is exactly what a car-derived crossover should be. Who it’s for: Anyone with gear or people to carry. Why you should buy this: It’s all the crossover you need.

Best budget dash cam11/28/2023 What To Look For When Buying For Best Dash Cams Under 50? Pro Tips.Best Dash Cams Under 50 Dollars – Our Top Picks In 2023.Our Testing Process and Selection Criteria For Best Dash Cams Under 50 Dollars.Otherwise, you can take it to a car audio and accessory shop or Best Buy’s Geek Squad. That’s not a difficult procedure as long as you have a basic familiarity with automotive electrical systems. To connect the dash cam to a car’s fuse box, you’ll need a hard-wiring kit, which is commonly available from any major dash-cam company. That said, a few dash cams, like Garmin’s, include an extra USB port in the 12-volt plug, letting you charge your phone while the dash cam is plugged in. Powering the dash cam through the 12-volt outlet is the easiest solution, but it may prevent you from plugging in other devices unless you use a 12-volt splitter. Some dash cams include a tool that makes it easier to tuck the cord into molding for others, you can buy a separate kit. If you’re installing a rear camera as well, you’ll also need to hide the cord running between the front and rear cameras, usually by routing it under the car’s trim and carpet. For step-by-step details, check out this how-to guide. For a forward-facing camera, you can typically tuck the cord into the molding along the edge of the windshield and then run it under the dash to the power source, which can be the car’s 12V power outlet (aka cigarette lighter), the fuse box, or, for some dash cams, the vehicle’s OBD II diagnostic port. Hiding the long power cord(s) can be more challenging. Mounting the dash cam on the windshield is easy (see “Is it legal to use a dash cam?” for placement options). We carefully sifted through the huge selection to bring you our top five dash cam picks. Increasingly, these features are found at lower price points. Many include features like parking incident and collision detection, GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity with smartphone app integration, expandable microSD-based memory and up to 4K video quality for the forward-facing cameras. Today, dash cam systems with both a forward- and rear-facing camera are common, affordable and accessible. Fitting one to your personal vehicle is easy, can be very reasonable and could be considered insurance against having your actions misrepresented if a crash or traffic stop ends up in court. Cheaper and improved camera technology have allowed them to become mainstream accessories. It can act as an electronic eyewitness that provides instant video evidence in the event of a collision or wrongful run-in with law enforcement.ĭash cams were once considered professional gear for truckers and others who drive for a living. Having a dash camera in your vehicle can be an incredibly valuable tool.

Fet transistor measurements11/28/2023 Why Field Effect Transistors are named so, or what is the meaning of FET? The symbol is slightly different for two different types of field-effect transistors FETs, they can either be N channel FET or P channel FET, you will learn the symbols of different FETs in their respective sections of this article.The direction of the arrowhead reflects the direction of the electric field.Three terminals can be seen in the figure namely gate, source, and drain represented by D, G, and S.The following figure shows the symbol of a field effect transistor.Unipolarity of the field effect transistor means that the transistor uses either holes or electrons for working, depending on the type of material being implied for making, unlike the bipolar junction transistors which employ both the electrons and holes for their functioning. All these successful and unsuccessful attempts led to the formation of the modern-day Field Effect Transistor. In successive years several attempts were made and different types of materials were introduced for making field-effect transistors and their related types.In 1945, the Junction field-effect transistor was the first FET device to be constructed by Heinrich Welker.In 1934, Oscar Heil tried his luck but failed to make a successful attempt.The first attempt to make a field-effect transistor was made by Julius Edgar in 1925, and sadly he failed miserably but he was lucky enough to get the concept patented. To know how the field effect transistors evolved throughout the ages, let us have a quick trip to history, the days when we did not have a large amount of resources to materialize our concepts."The Field effect transistor is a unipolar transistor made up of semiconductor material, which uses an electric field to control the current flow.".Let us define field effect transistor first, If you have a brief idea about transistors, you must be aware of the field effect transistor or you might have heard or read about it somewhere, it is one of the earliest known types of transistors which is our topic of discussion today.įield Effect Transistors were made to cover up the lacking of previously known transistors which occupied large space and produced a lot of noise, another major problem was the low reliability of previous versions. We have been discussing transistors lately, from the basic definition to the types and characteristics of transistors we have covered it all. Hello friends, I hope you all are happy, healthy and, content.
