In Australia, pole dancing classes for under 12’s have taken off in recent years. “We need to be very cautions of imposing adult ideas on young girls,” said Professor Lumby. They enjoy gymnastics and the big danger here is that maybe it’s the adults who are sexualising them rather than them sexualising themselves.” ![]() “Pre-teen girls love dancing, mucking around and showing off. I did my own form of pole dancing, improvised around a Hills hoist when I was eight years old,” quipped Professor Lumby. “We know we need to encourage young girls to exercise. On the other hand, Professor Catharine Lumby from Macquaire University says that pole dancing is increasingly seen as a legitimate form of exercise. “Surely these feed child predator’s fantasies?” “The slow-mo crotch-cam type shots in the promotional video for Gympole do make me feel uncomfortable,” said Miller. Parenting author and teen girl educator, Dannielle Miller said that adults should not view innocent childish play through a sexualised lens, or shame girls or women based on clothing choice, but still had concerns with the production elements of the advertisement. ![]() It helps to take away the negative associations that society has, while showing it is a fun and good sport.” These girls are innocently having fun and have no idea that men may be getting off on this,” wrote one commentator on Facebook.īut others defended the advertisement saying “it makes me happy to see this commercial done with children. “Pole dancing originated in strip clubs and men - rightly - associate pole dancing with sexual arousal.

The board size (90) can't fit 64-bit integer either, the number of columns 9 can't help quick devices. However its programming is a bit harder to gain high levels due to some reasons:Ī) The board is significantly larger (90 vs 64, 40% larger)ī) Even there’s no diagonal slide moves (such as Bishops), its pieces have more limitations, been blockable, Cannons have a special way to capture. to new ones using NNUE, AlphaZero methods. It can use almost all chess techniques, from traditional methods using Board Representation, Alpha-Beta search, Evaluation, Opening Book, Endgame Tablebases. Here is FEN of the starting position: rheakaehr/9/1c5c1/p1p1p1p1p/9/9/P1P1P1P1P/1C5C1/9/RHEAKAEHR w - 0 1Ĭhinese chess is quite similar to chess in multi-aspects thus its software can be developed and tested in similar ways. FEN: Chinese Chess can use Forsyth-Edwards Notation to save down positions, ignored some fields such as Castling and En passant target square.Ruling the game when 3 forks happen is the hardest thing for fully understanding, installing for both players and software. If no side violates the forbidden, game will be ruled as a draw. a perpetual check 長將, perpetual thread of capture 長捉, a check and then a threat of mate 一將一殺, or a combination of these). However, partly due to the freedom and power of the Rook over other pieces, and the limited freedom of the King, it is forbidden to repeat perpetually a direct thread (i.e. When a position repeated 3 time (3 folks) the game will be terminated too. The object of the game is to checkmate or stalemate (is a win as well) the opponent King aka General. Instead it has some limitations such as King, Advisors must move inside their own Palaces, Horses and Elephants can be blocked (from moving), two King cannot “face” each other (stands in the same column without any piece between). Xiangqi doesn’t have rules such as castles, en-passants, promotions. Pieces can move and capture according to their individual ability and restriction along the lines including the “Riverbanks”. Once crossed the river, also one point sidewaysīasic rules are similar to chess with some modifications. Ĭannon is the most interesting piece in Chinese chess. They are the same pieces, but names on the White side are subtly more noble than those on the Black side. As the Chinese characters, pieces on the white side may use different characters than their counterparts on the black side. Typically those pieces are made from small, simple wood pieces which some symbols (new way) or Chinese characters (traditional way) written on them. There are 7 types: King, Advisor, Elephant, Rook, Cannon, Horse, and Pawn. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, the spreading of light waves around the corners of the obstacle is the diffraction of waves. So, keep scrolling through this page.Ī light wave when encounters a hindrance in its way, bends around the corner or edges of the opaque object. You will get the answer to these questions on reading further. What happens to water waves when they encounter a stone along their path? Do they revert or continue moving on their way? What occurs to the shape of waves when they pass through a narrow gap? Do waves possess the same shape as before? If in an electric circuit, electrons passing through a narrow wire approaches a big container (as a wire), these electrons spread all around, and this scattering is the electron diffraction.Ĭonsider the below diagram to understand the cases mentioned above:ĭo you know what happens to water when you put a finger under the tap? Does water revert to the tap or it continues falling down? Or If the direction of water remains the same as before putting the finger under the tap? As the light is spreading all around the area, this spreading is the diffraction of light. Now, you switch on the flashlight of your mobile phone, and the flashlight emitting at the opened end of the tunnel spreads around. Let’s suppose that you are stuck in a tunnel and there is no one around to help you come out of it, so you try to call people moving around the tunnel but they can’t hear you. In a loudspeaker, you speak through a small hole, but the voice coming out spreads around the vicinity and that too modulated, i.e., the diffraction of sound. The diffraction of light is similar to the concept of using a loudspeaker. Here, we have discussed the types of diffraction like diffraction grating, Bragg diffraction, double slit diffraction, and electron diffraction. ![]() Diffraction Meaning: It is the process by which a stream of light or wave is spread out as a result of passing via a narrow area or across an edge, generally accompanied by interference between the waveform produced.Ĭonsider a train crossing the tunnel, inside the tunnel the rays of the headlight will remain converged however, as the train comes out of the tunnel, the same light spreads around the area. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've had to pay someone else to clean the stains even though I paid for this service.Design projects rely heavily on visual tools that illustrate the project's features and overall atmosphere, and whether you are an architect, interior designer, furniture designer, or engineer, the term 'mood board' has definitely come up at some point during the early stages of the design process. There are hundreds of complaints with the BBB against them. So I had to call Guardsman who had to snail mail me a form to complete to mail back, but then the 30 days had past. Well, it took me HOURS to resize the photos and I NEVER got them right. The very first claim I tried to file on line REQUIRED me to upload photos that had strict size requirements (this has now changed). The claim never made it to them, then the 30 days had past after I called and called and called. The online claims process is completing an online form then having to mail it in via snail mail. Guardsman said they don't clean pet soiling. I filed a claim when a dog rubbed dirt onto the front side of the sofa.literally just dragged his body on the front cushion. They have found every excuse to not actually address a single claim. I purchased a $7K custom sofa and thought this would be a good investment. I've had a guardsman plan for 3 of 5 years and it's been a waste of time and money. ![]() So, I'm not an expert, but I would not spend money on this type of warranty. Lastly, I'm going to point this out: after you contact the warranty person with a stain, and the stain has set there for a few days or a week, then what do you think that person knows about stain removal that you can't find out yourself on the internet with a couple searches? The trick with stains is to get them out right away before they become set. But I chose the fabric VERY wisely, after reading up on every attribute. ![]() If something does spill on it, I would probably dab it all up, and maybe spray some Resolve on it. In a house full of teenagers (who do not always obey the rule about no food and drink in the TV room), and a lot of rambunctious dogs, the sofa fabric looks great! No visible stains, no rips. ![]() We bought a custom huge sectional maybe 4-5 years ago. Breakdown of cushions or frame, poor choices about depth and comfort of sofa, tears (puppies anyone?), and the ever-popular whatever-it-is that is "not covered under the warranty". Such as: choosing a fabric with a "W" designation instead of "S" (I believe that means cleanable with water-based cleaners instead of solvents) choosing a fabric that perhaps isn't a true solid, so that stains won't show so much (some fabrics appear to be gray, for example, but close actually have flecks of other colors) choose a fabric that has a very high Wyzenbeek double-rub number, so it will last.īe aware that stains are only ONE thing that could determine the eventual death of the sofa. Instead of this, I recommend (depending on the cost of the sofa), using your own good sense to prepare for how long the sofa might last. But I generally believe that this type of insurance/warranty service plan are generally money-wasters instead of money-savers. ![]() ![]() “Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!” ~ Maya Angelou.“I know why the caged bird sings.” ~ Maya Angelou.Then when you know better, do better.”~ Maya Angelou “Do the best you can until you know better.“Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” ~ Maya Angelou “If you don’t like something, change it.“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ~ Maya Angelou.“I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t laugh.” ~ Maya Angelou.You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I’ll rise.” ~ Maya Angelou “You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lines.“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” ~ Maya Angelou.“If you’re always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.” ~ Maya Angelou. ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() I thought it was coincidence, but I realized I keep getting horrible draws when I pay money. and Ofcourse they will give you an Ace of spades to make a nil impossible.

Three consecutive wins was perfect! 5 straight wins with medium-high connectivity issues is kinda messed up! ![]() Sometimes you go through DAYS of the worst dealt hands by the game and we have zero control. There are some talented spades players on this app which is great for someone like me but come on, FIVE wins in a row for a player regardless of their skill level is a bit much to ask for. I just think the game now went and made it less likely for me to keep playing the knock out challenges. I won't lie that when your on your 3rd game and u get the option to pay for another chance that I haven't been tempted once or twice and $1-$3 wasn't a big issue for me BUT NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN you have to win 5 games in a row! I mean come on! Did u notice u we're getting us with the scenario I just mentioned and u decided to take advantage. I have been really loving the KnockOut Challenge where u have to win 3 games in row to double your bet amount and that was challenging enough. The app is definitely superior to the other ones I've tried except lately I keep getting thrown out of an active game when my next move is either critical and/or it's my last game$$ to play which can really be infuriating.

Instead of comparison against fixed thresholds for underweight and overweight, the BMI is compared against the percentiles for children of the same sex and age.Ī BMI that is less than the 5th percentile is considered underweight and above the 95th percentile is considered obese. It is calculated in the same way as for adults, but then compared to typical values for other children of the same age. The BMI (Body Mass Index) in (kg/m 2) is equal to the mass in pounds (lbs) divided by the square height in inches (in) times 703:īMI(kg/m 2) = mass(lb) / height 2(in) × 703 Children (aged 2 to 20)īMI for age percentiles for boys 2 to 20 years of age.īMI for age percentiles for girls 2 to 20 years of age.īMI is used differently for children. The BMI (Body Mass Index) in (kg/m2) is equal to the mass in kilograms (kg) divided by the square height in meters (m): BMI was designed to be used as a simple means of classifying average sedentary (physically inactive) populations, with an average body composition. For such individuals, the value recommendations as of 2014 are as follows: a BMI from 18.5 up to 25 kg/m 2 may indicate optimal weight, a BMI lower than 18.5 suggests the person is underweight, a number from 25 up to 30 may indicate the person is overweight, and a number from 30 upwards suggests the person is obese. Lean male athletes often have a high muscle-to-fat ratio and therefore a BMI that is misleadingly high relative to their body-fat percentage BMI formula When the term BMI is used informally, the units are usually omitted.īMI provides a simple numeric measure of a person's thickness or thinness, allowing health professionals to discuss weight problems more objectively with their patients. If pounds and inches are used, a conversion factor of 703 (kg/m 2)/(lb/in 2) must be applied. The BMI is universally expressed in kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres. ![]() Nevertheless, due to its simplicity, it has come to be widely used for preliminary diagnoses. Additional metrics, such as waist circumference, can be more useful. Keys explicitly judged BMI as appropriate for population studies and inappropriate for individual evaluation. The interest in an index that measures body fat came with observed increasing obesity in prosperous Western societies. In this paper, Keys argued that what he termed the BMI was ".if not fully satisfactory, at least as good as any other relative weight index as an indicator of relative obesity". HistoryĪdolphe Quetelet, a Belgian astronomer, mathematician, statistician, and sociologist, devised the basis of the BMI between 18 as he developed what he called "social physics". The modern term "body mass index" (BMI) for the ratio of human body weight to squared height was coined in a paper published in the July 1972 edition of the Journal of Chronic Diseases by Ancel Keys and others. The dashed lines represent subdivisions within a major class.īMIs under 20 and over 25 have been associated with higher all-causes mortality, with the risk increasing with distance from the 20–25 range. Commonly accepted BMI ranges are underweight (under 18.5 kg/m 2), normal weight (18.5 to 25), overweight (25 to 30), and obese (over 30).Ī graph of body mass index as a function of body mass and body height. That categorization is the subject of some debate about where on the BMI scale the dividing lines between categories should be placed. The BMI is a convenient rule of thumb used to broadly categorize a person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on tissue mass (muscle, fat, and bone) and height. The BMI may be determined using a table or chart which displays BMI as a function of mass and height using contour lines or colours for different BMI categories, and which may use other units of measurement (converted to metric units for the calculation). The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres. Body mass index ( BMI) is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of a person. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, if BUN and creatinine are both elevated significantly and the ratio is 20 is a sign of inadequate hydration. So, to summarize, the high BUN-Creatinine ratio, particularly if it is more than 20 and the person has a normal creatinine, usually indicates dehydration. Notice, in this case, the BUN/Creatinine ratio is not higher than 20 and BUN and creatinine have normalized. Now if the same person had about 1 liter of water to drink during that run, the laboratories would look something like this: BUN of 16 mg/dl and creatinine of 0.95 mg/dl. Notice, that the BUN/Creatinine ratio in this case is higher than 20 indicating dehydration. If we sampled his laboratories, his chemistry profile may look something like: BUN level of 28 mg/dl and creatinine of 1.1 mg/dl. Let’s take an example of dehydration below-Ī 70 kg individual who is 40 years old just ran 2 miles in the hot sun, and did not have anything to drink. In this regard, both BUN and creatinine are elevated modestly or proportionately, and the ratio hence is not necessarily higher than 20. Drinking enough fluids can improve the high BUN: Creatinine ratio.Ī high BUN/Creatinine ratio can also be due to an ongoing kidney problem. A high BUN: Creatinine ratio in this case indicates dehydration but the good news is that it is reversible. ![]() When the body is in a negative state of fluid balance, the kidney function gets affected. What causes a high BUN: Creatinine ratio?Īmongst a few others, one major factor is dehydration. But since kidney function is determined to some extent by a person’s fluid intake, a dehydrated body can lead to a high BUN: creatinine ratio. Together, both BUN and creatinine are used to estimate the kidney function. There are relatively few things that can affect the creatinine level hence the majority of fluctuations can be attributed to a change in kidney function. Hence, it is commonly used as a kidney function test as most adults make the same amount of creatinine every day. The measurement of urea in the blood is done via Blood urea nitrogen test or simply referred to as BUN.Ĭreatinine, on the other hand, is a molecular protein produced by the muscle and is relatively freely filtered by the kidneys. As the peptide bond breakage creates nitrogenous waste products, ammonia is produced which is converted into a nontoxic waste called urea by the liver. These are then absorbed through the gut and are the building blocks for protein. Normally, when we eat protein, the peptide bond gets broken to yield amino acids. One of such biomarker sets is that of the BUN: Creatinine ratio. However, when you consider this objectively to define how much a person is dehydrated, some laboratory biomarkers can help. For the most part, dehydration is a clinical diagnosis, from signs and symptoms that signify loss of water and electrolytes from the body. One of the many incomplete tasks in the hydration space is using biomarkers to objectively identify dehydration.
