![]() ![]() This method has a resistor at the base such that one end of it is connected to the terminal base whereas the other end will be connected to the collector. Transistor Biasing with Collector-Feedback Resistor The negative path of feedback followed makes the voltage gain smaller.If the RL gets short-circuited the value of stability becomes large.The change of Q-point is less when compared to the base bias method.This results in an increase in the value of the voltage at the collector-emitter terminal and the current at the base get reduced. If the current at the collector tends to increase the voltage at the load resistor gets increased. This indicates that voltage is shared among the base and collector terminals. Hence to obtain an intended outcome biasing plays a major role.įrom VCC, the current supplied flows through RL then it reaches the resistor present at the base. If the transistor is not biased appropriately, it may lead to the poor amplification of the signals resulting in the gain being very low. This type of technique is known as transistor biasing. To achieve the desired switching or the amplification effect a transistor must be supplied with the control amounts of voltages and currents through it. To enter into various modes of operation transistor biasing is done. Transistors are designed to operate in various modes among which active mode is preferred for amplification. The establishment of the operating points will be based on the selection of bias and load resistors. To make the transistor function convincingly it must possess certain conditions to operate. The transistors are one of the most frequently used semiconductors utilized in the applications of switching and amplification. But the complexity of designing vacuum tubes, more amount of power consumption paved the way for the inception of transistors in modern electronics. Before the use of transistors, vacuum tubes used for the purpose to control electronic signals. Transistors are developed in the year 1947 by the physicists of America named John Bardeen. ![]()

As you do this, notice how your body sensations change. Tense up one part of your body at a time, and then slowly release your muscles. Lay on a soft surface, such as your bed, a carpet, or a yoga mat. Releasing any physical tension can help relieve stress in your body and mind. When we feel mentally stressed, we often feel physically stressed as well. Repeat five times, or as long as you need to feel relaxed. Feel your belly rise and fall as you breathe in and out. Breathe in to a slow count of three, and then breathe out to the same slow count of three. Sit or lay down in a quiet and safe place such as on your bed or the floor in your home and put one of your hands on your belly. Breathing exercises are one of the simplest relaxation strategies, and can effectively calm your stressed-out body and mind anywhere at any time. THERE ARE SO MANY ROADS LEFT= Life will bring more possibilities.When it comes to relaxation strategies, the easier the better! If you can find five minutes of your day for yourself, you can easily slip in a simple relaxation strategy. Maybe I’ll be with you because I love you, or I’m with you because the problem affects both of us or because we are both responsible for what happened. WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER= You’re not alone, I will support you. "The last thing on my mind" = Something I will never think of. THE LAST THING ON MY MIND IS TO LEAVE YOU= A very emphatic way to say: I will never leave you, I have no intention to leave you. ![]() The saying goes that “ if you play with fire, you’ll get burnt”, because when you do something dangerous you’ll probably suffer the bad consequences of it. I’M PLAYING WITH FIRE= I’m in a very dangerous situation, very risky. This change is more common in BrE than in AmE but it happens in both. So in modern pronunciation the words fire and far may sound the same, also the words tower and tar, etc. The same process also happens to both triphthongs: /aɪə/ and /aʊə/, so the word POWER may also sound /pɑ:ə/ or /pɑ:/. It’s as if it’s going to rain = I’m not very sure but I think it’s going to rain, it looks like it.įIRE= In "perfect English" this word is pronounced /faɪə/ but people usually pronounce it /fɑ:ə/ and sometimes (like here), it is pronounced /fɑ:/. It’s going to rain = I know it or I believe that. The phrase “it’s as if” doesn’t mean anything really, or it means the same as “more or less”. IT’S AS IF I’M SCARED= I think/feel I’m scared I’m very afraid. Note the preposition ON.īLAME IT ON ME OR BLAME IT ON YOU= It doesn’t matter whom you blame because it is nobody’s fault, so nobody is to blame, things just happen. Consider that the fault is mine, I’m the culprit. THE LONGING= A strong persistent desire, especially one impossible to fulfil.īLAME IT ON ME= Put the blame on me.

It's really effective - you can't tell if it's a full dance track or really laid-back. And we picked up the strangest pedal combinations to get all these weird sounds. We used some great session musicians who had worked with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. So when I came into producing 'Relax' I made sure that most of the sounds we used were actually made by real instruments. "I always wanted to write a dance song that wasn't a really full dance track, that felt organic*.

But this is for the general public, not specific to diabetes. The government’s 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and associated Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report mainly focus on the nutrition and health implications of all added sugars (including agave and other calorie-containing sweeteners) and nonnutritive sweeteners. ![]() And you’ll also find some scientific evidence that low-glycemic foods are generally better for you. If you do a search, what you’ll come up with are several NIH (National Institutes of Health) and ADA (American Diabetes Association) studies on the negative effects of fructose: how it induces dyslipidemia (high triglycerides) and insulin resistance and stimulates something called hepatic de novo lipogenesis, or DNL (disruption of the enzymatic pathway for synthesis of fatty acids). This fact was corroborated by all the experts we queried. Surprisingly, there is very little research on agave, or on the use of sweeteners in general. There’s a lot of research on the negative effects of fructose, including evidence that fructose-sweetened beverages can cause weight gain and insulin resistance - certainly things we PWDs want to avoid! Basically, the fructose is converted into triglycerides which get stored as white adipose tissue (fat) - the kind of fat that the body CANNOT use for energy. She explains that large doses of fructose are harsh on the liver, which when forced to metabolize it, develops a syndrome called fatty liver, which contributes to chronic liver disease called cirrhosis. ![]() Most of us have heard the warnings about High Fructose Corn Syrup, and seen the corn industry’s slimy commercials purporting that it is “safe.” Is fructose from the agave plant really much different than from corn syrup? Especially in such large (concentrated) quantities? Many agave brands contain 70-95% fructose, whereas even HFCS itself contains just about 55%, while a piece of whole fresh fruit contains just 5-6%. They get acne or worse diabetes symptoms even though blood glucose is OK.” ![]() Many people have fructose intolerance like lactose intolerance.

![]() ![]() ![]() Bid sniping is most commonly seen in online auctions, and the practice is not without controversy. Some people swear by sniping, arguing that it's the best way to bid for items they like, while others find sniping very frustrating because they routinely lose auctions to snipers. Welcome to hands-free auction bidding and winning.In a classic timed auction, people participating in the auction can see whenever a new bid is made, and decide whether or not to match it. With the improved Auction Sniper app you can: Back and better than ever, Auction Sniper will place an automated bid, based on your preferences, in the last seconds of an eBay auction to increase your chances of a winning bid. ![]() Save time by no longer having to watch the end of an auction.Import eBay watches and easily place, edit and delete snipes.App Notifications to let you know when you have been outbid, lose or win an Auction.Sort searches by price, end time or newly listed.Directly fund your Auction Sniper account with PayPal.Plus, you can try Auction Sniper for free! After you sign up, open the Auction Sniper activation email and click the "account activation" link to receive your 3 free snipes. After your first 3 winning snipes, you will be charged only 1.5% of the final auction price with a minimum fee of $0.35 USD and a maximum of $14.99 USD for only the auctions you win. Pssst….Auction Sniper is a secret buying weapon….pass it on…. I buy and sell a lot of music instruments and gear and tow friends recommended that I download snipes as a way of saving money when bidding on eBay items. I used to needlessly bid up items only to get out bid at the last minute or I would save a favorite item to bid on later but miss the bid altogether.Īuction sniper helps me plan and execute my bids by enabling me to confirm the item that I want, my max price, and time I want to place the bid. The more that I buy on eBay the more I need a tool like Auction sniper to help me stay organized and make a fair bid. I have used them for several years know and am a huge fan. i have recently started using their Second chance bid capability that allows you to make extra bids at the last second -even when you have met your maximum. If you have ever lost a bid at the last second when you were at your max, you will realize that you were sniped and that you should definitely use this cool tool to go the extra-mile with a bid or two. Of the massive number of apps that I use-this is definitely in the top 5 in the ability to save me time and money on eBay.īids still fire as designed GUI needs work I trust their app with my credentials which they need to act on my behalf just like I trust eBay. I first used AS right at its infancy-where bid-based auctions were plentiful, seller’s & PP fees were cheap, and those that understood bidding were handsomely rewarded. The auction site today is the antithesis of it’s original self. Stated-price (or BuyNow) formats appear to dominate the high-traffic categories and the speciality/rare items continue as they have. It’s been well over a year since AS was updated and the most noticeable issue is its non-conformity with the mega-sized device generation, followed by the broken Bid Category feature (that cancels other auctions once one is won) that perhaps only a few use. That being said, the app still works as confirmed this morning. It isn’t visually appealing and browsing auctions via its interface is on a YMMV basis, but it still does work and given the incredibly cheap fees it provides great value.Īs a primarily free site I suspect this is more of a hobby to the developer than a commercial interest but I wanted to write this review to ensure he/she was aware that it still provides value to me at least. This is a great app to snipe, the act of putting in a higher bid in the last few seconds in the hopes that no one can put in one later than your bid. This is a VERY powerful feature that groups all bids for items you want to bid on, but only win a fixed number. For example, buying an iPad, and there are 12 available. Here, you set the max bid on each item you are willing to bid, and then group them. ![]() ![]() ![]() The actor was Kit Harington, who at the time was just concluding his eight-season run as the sword-wielding warrior Jon Snow on the HBO behemoth “Game of Thrones.” Similarly, Dane Whitman has a rich and complicated history in the Marvel Comics, with a lineage that dates back to the medieval legend of King Arthur and a legacy as the superhuman warrior the Black Knight - whose abilities come from a cursed sword called the Ebony Blade. “I go, ‘Who’s that? Black Knight? Oh, there’s an actor who’d be great to play that!'” she said. When looking for a contemporary love interest for Sersi in the film, Zhao says she gravitated to one of the character’s historic boyfriends in the comics: Dane Whitman, a.k.a. “And then to see him come on set and just bring Eros to life, it was great,” she said.Įros wasn’t the only major new character Zhao introduces in “Eternals” through a post-credits scene, either. Zhao shot the scene in one day, with Styles hiding his face in hoodie when he was walking to and from set. “I think everyone loves working with Marvel,” she said. I just was very, very excited when Kevin, ‘Let’s do it.'”Īccording to the filmmaker, it did not take much convincing to get Styles to sign on to the play the role. I had this whole thing made up in my head, what their backstory is. “Seeing his career, where he’s going, what he’s representing, him as an individual - he’s very interesting, unique,” Zhao said of Styles. ![]() Given Styles’ willingness to explore less-than-honorable behavior on screen - and his gender-bending music persona as an omnisexual object of desire - Zhao thought the 27-year-old was a perfect fit for Eros, whose ability to stimulate and control the emotions of others makes him the ultimate galactic Lothario. Zhao says she’s been following Styles’ nascent acting career ever since he made his feature debut in Christopher Nolan’s 2017 World War II epic “Dunkirk,” playing a morally questionable British soldier desperate to escape the invading Nazi army. “It wasn’t like I created this character and I think about different people. “The idea of Eros and Harry came to me at the same time,” she said. Wearing a similar uniform to his fellow Eternals, out steps Eros, as played by music superstar and budding actor Styles, who warns Thena, Makkari and Druig that their friends are in danger - and he knows how to help them.Īccording to Zhao, when she pitched introducing Pip and Eros to Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige as a mid-credits scene, she already knew she wanted Styles to play the role. ![]() Suddenly, a small, swirling vortex appears in their ship, and out pops Pip the Troll (voiced by Patton Oswalt), who, with a rhetorical flourish, heralds the impending appearance of Eternal - and brother to Thanos - Eros, a.k.a. Unaware of Arishem’s wrath, they’re worried that they haven’t heard from their compatriots on Earth in weeks. ![]() The mid-credits scene opens on the Eternals’ spaceship, where Thena (Angelina Jolie), Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) and Druig (Barry Keoghan) are traveling to find other Eternals to tell them of the Celestial’s deception. As he looms over the Earth, Arishem announces he’s putting them on trial for the death of a Celestial, and their experiences with humanity will decide whether the planet will ultimately survive. After Sersi (Gemma Chan) successfully leads the Eternals to stop the emergence of a Celestial from inside the Earth - which would have obliterated the planet - the lead Celestial, Arishem (David Kaye), arrives on Earth and yanks Sersi, Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry) and Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani) into space. The first post-credits scene follows the movie’s cliffhanger ending. “I still can’t believe it happened,” she said. After Zhao was assured that any story about the post-credit scenes would publish after “Eternals” debuted in theaters, she loosened up. ![]() ![]() CardWorks provides servicing operations and portfolio management to bank and non-bank consumer and small business lenders through CardWorks Servicing, LLC and Carson Smithfield, LLC.
