To make users feel the Reddit experience, the owners allow Redditors (users) to customize the mascot’s appearance. Its minimalist outlook, pleasant and all–smiling mascot has contributed to the astronomical increase in its daily visits, active users, and the growing trends in its communities. This consistency in appearance across all marketing mediums has impacted positively on its revenue. #REDDIT SIMBL UPDATE#Somehow, the wordmark reduced in size, and the circle above the ‘i’ took on an orange color instead of white in the previous logo.įor nearly fifteen years, the Reddit mascot has undergone just a slight update once since its appearance in 2005. Still featured in white with an orange mouth and eyes, the mascot lies in an orange circle frame. The designer eliminated all the parts, leaving only the head. The Second Official Reddit Mascot-2017 to PresentĪn update took effect in 2017 to give the mascot a modest appearance. This original mascot served the company for nearly twelve years. The mascot is neither a male nor a female, and it’s all white with a black outline and orange eyes. The antenna identity it has an alien from a different space. The famous mascot has an antenna, an oval head, semi-circle ears, and circle eyes: It also has a mouth, semi-oval torso, arms, and legs. Reddit’s mascot comprises two major elements-a complete alien and lower case wordmark of its name. The First Official Reddit Mascot-2005 to 2017 #REDDIT SIMBL PROFESSIONAL#Later, a graphic artist added a professional touch to the mascot, and it becomes the official Reddit Logo. #REDDIT SIMBL PORTABLE#In 2005, Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, had a moment of inspiration in a boring marketing class at the University of Virginia to doodle the alien image that has become one of the most popular social networking trademarks.Īt home and using an old jail-broken PlayStation Portable 5.0 Console, he transferred the sketch from his notebook into a digital format. The mascot is an adorable alien named Snoo instead of S’new (meaning something new) and registered under the alias kn0thing. It’s also featured on the company’s promotional merchandise. Its brand ambassador, the celebrated alien, called Snoo, is used on all company’s products and the above the line marketing collaterals-internet, television, radio, and billboards. It’s now one of the preferred traffic powerhouses for entrepreneurs. With about 2.2 million subreddits worldwide (Reddit Metrics, 2020), Reddit is the fifth most visited social networking mobile app in the United States (Reddit, 2020) and the seventh globally. The Reddit logo, drafted from a boring marketing class in a notebook, witnessed about 1.5 billion visitors in September 2020, making it one of the most celebrated social brand ambassadors on earth. Its black lowercase wordmark also has an orange color on its letter-i. The mascot, which most people identified as an alien, has a white oval head, ears, antenna, and orange eyes and mouth. The current Reddit trademark is a genderless mascot nicknamed Snoo with the brand’s name boldly beside it in lowercase letters. To try a monochromatic color scheme or show sincere solidarity to the “Black Lives Matter” campaign in the United States, Reddit Logo went neutral without its orange color. This is a look at the Reddit Logo and some history behind the business. ![]()

![]() And what a fortuitous sequence of events that proved to be, as the LP was to be one of the biggest successes of the band's tenure. Song: "Hotel California" Band: Eagles Album: Hotel California (1976) Rock Out: Eagles founding member Bernie Leadon had left the building by the time the album Hotel California debuted in 1976, while Joe Walsh was only just joining the outfit for the first time. The complex guitar sound and Vedder's intense delivery made for an iconic sound, and Mike McCready's Hendrix-tinged six-string solo stands as a perfect fit for Guitar Hero strummers and pickers everywhere. Song: "Alive" Band: Pearl Jam Album: Ten (1991) Rock Out: Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam's distinctive mix of alternative/grunge and rock first came to the attention of many soon-to-be-clad-in-flannel new fans in 1991 when "Alive," the debut single from their album Ten, was released. Would make for a great counterpoint to the band's Black Hole Sun, which is already available on GH's distinguished competition, Rock Band. Lyrically an environmental cautionary tale, the track works through an extended instrumental opening with Kim Thayil's guitars rising and falling on a one-note riff before Chris Cornell's howling vocals kick in for the evocative middle section. Song: "Hands All Over" Band: Soundgarden Album: Louder than Love (1989) Rock Out: Purveyors of the sound known as grunge, Soundgarden's heavy "Hands All Over" comes from their mainstream debut record for A&M, 1989's Louder than Love. With the typical wink, wink, nudge, nudge lyrics of Steven Tyler ("I'm calling all the shots tonight/I'm like a loaded gun/Peelin' off my boots and chaps/I'm saddle sore") and a hard but catchy rhythm section, it's no wonder that the song remains a band fave after all these years. Song: "Back in the Saddle" Band: Aerosmith Album: Rocks (1976) Rock Out: The highly influential Aerosmith LP Rocks is said to have inspired everyone from Slash to Kurt Cobain, and one of the key tracks on the record is "Back in the Saddle," the rough-around-the-edges-sounding lead guitar section of which was penned by Joe Perry on a six-string bass. ![]() ![]() PIH/PIP parts should also be placed on the second side of the furnace, unless the length of the solder fillet does not exceed the thickness of the board, otherwise the foot that protrudes from the surface of the PCB will interfere with the steel sheet on the second side, which will make the second side The solder paste printed steel plate cannot be flat on the PCB, which causes the solder paste to print abnormally.ģ, Some components may have soldering work inside. If there are small and small BGA parts, it can also be placed on the first side of the reflow oven, as long as it can effectively avoid PCB deformation.Ģ, parts can not withstand too much high temperature parts should be placed on the second side of the reflow oven, this is to avoid parts too much temperature and damage. LGA and BGA parts should be placed on the second side of the furnace as much as possible, so as to avoid the unnecessary risk of re-soldering during the second pass to reduce the chance of empty/false welding. Which SMD parts should be placed on the second side of the reflow oven?ġ, Large components or heavier components should be placed on the second side to prevent the parts from falling back into the furnace. Some boards may require a re-return to the furnace because of the maintenance relationship. The general resistance and capacitance are usually required to be reflowed at least three times, in order to meet the requirements. Again, the parts on the first panel must pass through the reflow oven twice, so the temperature resistance must be able to withstand the temperature of two reflows. For more information on designing PCBs, please visit ANDWIN CIRCUITS CO.,LTD. Because the first surface part will be placed directly on the bottom surface of the circuit board when facing the second side, when the board enters the high temperature of the reflow area, it will not fall off the board because of excessive weight. Second, the smaller parts do not risk falling when the second reflow oven is over. So, what should you think about when manufacturing double-sided reflow? Which SMD parts should be placed on the first side of the reflow oven?įirst of all, the smaller parts are recommended to be placed on the first side of the reflow oven, because the deformation of the PCB will be smaller when the first side passes through the reflow oven, and the precision of the solder paste printing will be higher, so it is better placed Smaller parts. For example, when the board goes to the second reflow furnace, the parts on the first side will fall due to gravity, especially The board flows to the furnace where the reflow zone is hot. Because of the limitations of the process, some problems may occur. Single-sided reflow is used less because double-sided reflow saves board space.ĭouble-sided reflow requires two reflows. Introduction to PCB double-sided reflow process (SMT)Ĭircuit board assembly technology, now popular in the industry is full-board reflow soldering (Reflow), this technology can be divided into single-panel reflow and double-panel reflow. ![]() ![]() Glutes: One of the most powerful muscle groups in the body for hip extension and pelvis stabalization, the glutes (maximus, medius and mininus) are activated strongly during planks.ġ) Doing planks will shrink your waistline.

Transversus abdominus: Located under both obliques, and is the deepest of the abdominal muscles. This muscle works in side-bending and rotation (in the opposite direction of the external oblique on the same side). Internal abdominal oblique: Located underneath the external obliques and the fibers run in the opposite direction. This muscle works in side-bending and rotation. The muscle fibers run on a downward and inward direction. This is the muscle everybody likes to work and show off.Įxternal abdominal oblique: Located on the side and front of the abdomen. Rectus Abdominus: Located in the front of the abdomen, the most well-known and visible abdominal creating the “six pack”. We’ll look at 7 benefits to doing planks, but first let’s do a quick refresher on our abdominal and core muscles: Planks should be the mainstay of your abdominal trimming and toning exercise program, even more than crunches! They are also one of the most time efficient, and effective exercises which yield substantial results quickly, and burn more calories than any other single ab exercise because so many muscles are activated. Planks are key cornerstone in anyone’s program, and well see why in a second – but at the top of the list is that the plank works your abdominal muscles in a way like to other and can shrink the circumference of your waist like no other exercise. She held a plank for a whopping 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 55 seconds! I can’t even imagine! Hard as buzzard lips they are! Hood is a 60-year-old veteran who served in the Marines and is a retired DEA agent. And, one of his students Dana Glowacka, is the World Record holder for the female title.

What’s the longest you can last with perfect, flat, rigid form? Did you know that the World Record in an abdominal plank position (for a man) is 8 hr 15 min 15 sec, and was achieved by George Hood (USA) in Naperville, Illinois, USA, on 15 February 2020. In the world of exercise, where movement is king, would you be shocked to learn that the core and postural muscles (surrounding your waistline) respond to isometric tension exercises extremely well? It’s true! I’m referring to the single best core exercise of all: planks. Who wouldn’t want a smaller, tighter waist?

But rather than dismissing the concept of net-zero, we have been working since 2020 with an independent Expert Advisory Group to define how companies can get net-zero right. The SBTi shares many of the concerns about weak corporate net-zero targeting, which will not accelerate the immediate decarbonization needed to limit global temperature increases to 1.5☌. This has generated significant criticism of net-zero as a concept. This has created a loose collection of variable targets, many focusing more on the ‘net’ part of net-zero. The definition of net-zero itself, as well as the path to get there, is interpreted in different and often inconsistent ways. In 2019, net-zero pledges covered 16% of the global economy, but now nearly 70% is committed to net-zero by 2050.īut not all net-zero pledges are created equal. Within the last couple of years the concept of net-zero has moved from relative obscurity to the centre stage of efforts to halt dangerous climate breakdown. The Standard will clarify the key role of decarbonization in corporate net-zero strategies. Revelation 21:27), and in this we ought to “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:3,4).On October 28th, the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is launching the first science-based framework for companies to set net-zero targets - the Net-Zero Standard. Those who are written in His book will enter into the glories God has prepared for His saints (cf. So let us be people of faith who fully trust in God as Creator, Sustainer, and Savior. Indeed, we will be completely forgotten by the world and even by our own descendants but what matters is that our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. We do not need to be noticed by the world to have meaning and significance in life. The Apostle Paul assured Timothy, “The Lord knows those who are His” (2Timothy 2:19). Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd and I know my sheep” (John 10:14). Saints are not going to get lost or otherwise overlooked by God in the mass of humanity. Most saints are relatively obscure (even to other saints), but Scripture assures us that Jesus knows those who are His. The word saint is not used in Scripture as a superior class of Christians known to many for extraordinary accomplishments. Those who have been sanctified (cleansed from sin and made holy) through Jesus Christ are called saints (e.g. We can finish our races strong and have an eternal impact for good in relative obscurity. Obscurity in the human annals of history does not at all mean that our time on Earth has been wasted. Therefore, we who are similarly unnamed need to run our races with faith and endurance, looking unto Jesus. We are told that the generally ungodly world was not worthy of these unnamed people of faith whom the world ignored or mocked or otherwise persecuted. Yet notice that the chapter closes with more general descriptions of anonymous people of faith (11:35-12:2). The New Testament book of Hebrews lists relatively famous people of faith by name in chapter 11. Do not fear therefore you are of more value than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:29-31). But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Jesus said, “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. The writer of Hebrews similarly observed, “there is no creature hidden from His sight” (Hebrews 4:13). ![]() ![]() The purpose of our study was to develop a useful and reliable scale, and to use it in clinical practice. In contrast, a new scale has been recently proposed for assessing function in patients with neuromuscular disorders with more severe functional impairment but this was designed to be used in non-ambulatory patients only. but although they all undoubtedly have their uses, none has been shown to be sufficiently sensitive when assessing functional change in weaker, non-ambulant children. There are also other scales, such as the Vignos scale 7 which determines levels of mobility and others assessing ability in function and ‘activities of daily living’,8., 9., 10. The scale is also useful when assessing children with other neuromuscular disorders who have deteriorating ambulation but it is not a reliable indicator of change in ability for many of the weaker non-ambulant children. The scale helps to monitor disease progression and gives an indication of when boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy are about to lose independent ambulation. In our department, functional motor scoring was based almost exclusively on the scale developed by Scott, Hyde et al published in 1982 6 devised for boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. There are numerous functional motor scales that can be used for patients with neuromuscular disorders, but these cannot always be used in non-ambulant children or in those with limited ambulation. As a result a significant proportion of children with SMA type 3 can lose the ability to walk independently.4., 5. Long term survival is expected for children with the type 2 and type 3 and currently available medical treatment is directed at secondary complications such as respiratory problems or management of deformities.Īlthough the weakness itself does not progress in SMA, several studies have documented a deterioration in functional abilities due to increased body size without an increase in power to cope with these extra demands. Prognosis is dependent on severity and almost invariably children with Werdnig–Hoffman disease will die of respiratory complications by the age of 2 years. Children with the intermediate form (SMA type 2) are, in contrast, able to sit but not to walk independently.2., 3. The mildest form is Kugelberg–Welander disease (SMA type 3) in which independent ambulation is achieved but mild to moderate proximal muscle weakness may be experienced, causing difficulty with stairs and rising from the floor. There is a wide range of severity, the most severe form being Werdnig–Hoffman disease (or SMA type 1), in which affected children are unable to sit unsupported. 1 It is the second most common neuromuscular disease of childhood affecting approximately 1:10,000–12,000 children. SMA is a neuromuscular condition due to the degeneration of the anterior horn cells, inherited in an autosomal recessive way. ![]() ![]() It is focused on selfishness and instant self-gratification. The id acts as a pleasure principle: if not compelled by reality it seeks immediate enjoyment. The Id comprises the unorganized part of the personality structure that contains theīasic drives. The term "das Es" was borrowed from Georg Groddeck, a German physician to whose unconventional ideas Freud was muchĪttracted. Freud himself wrote of " das Es," " das Ich," and " das Über-Ich"-respectively, "the It," "the I,"Īnd the "Over-I" (or "Upper-I") thus to the German reader, Freud's original terms are Originating from his translator James Strachey. The terms "id," "ego," and "super-ego" are not Freud's own but are latinisations The concepts themselves arose at a late stage in the development of Freud's thought: the structural model was first discussed in his 1920 essay " Beyond the Pleasure Principle" and was formalized and elaborated upon three years later in his " The Ego and the Id." Freud's proposal was influenced by the ambiguity of the term " unconscious" and its many conflicting uses. According to this model, the uncoordinated instinctual trends are the "id" the organized realistic part of the psyche is the "ego," and the critical and moralizing function the "super-ego." Įven though the model is "structural" and makes reference to an "apparatus", the id, ego, and super-ego are functions of the mind rather than parts of the brain and do not necessarily correspond one-to-one with actual somatic structures of the kind dealt with by neuroscience.

During a time filled with major crises, Roosevelt directly met Americans’ call for leadership through his fireside chats, strengthening public confidence.Fireside Chats, an Unusual Way to Improve Company Communication The content of the chats moved from bolstering Roosevelt’s New Deal policies to discussing various aspects of America’s involvement in World War II. Although Roosevelt’s New Deal policies were often quite complex, his chats used common language to construct the radio address as an informal conversation between himself and the American public. They were delivered by Roosevelt from the White House, with him sitting behind a desk with multiple microphones from various radio networks.Īn important characteristic of Roosevelt’s fireside chats was the simple language he used. The chats were scheduled sparingly so as to maintain their importance among his other frequent radio and public addresses. Fireside chats were constructed by a committee of Roosevelt’s speech writers and advisers, but Roosevelt was an integral part of the process he often wrote the conclusions and even changed some of the text while speaking on-air. He regarded these broadcasts as instruments of public education in national affairs as well as a way of enlisting support for his program. As president, Roosevelt set up the “informal chats” to convey the success of his policies via radio to the American people. Roosevelt understood the importance of radio as a medium and first used it to pressure the New York state legislature during his governorship from 1928 to 1932. Fireside chats reinforced the importance of broadcast media and the use of common, everyday language when addressing the American people. The chats were influential in reformulating the American worldview from one of despair to one of hope during a time of multiple crises, including the Great Depression and World War II. Although the chats were initially meant to garner Americans’ support for Roosevelt’s New Deal policies, they eventually became a source of hope and security for all Americans.

This incessant and often misguided want for characters to remain true to the original comics leaves little room for diversity, even though the characters themselves are rarely realistic to begin with.
