![]() ![]() The luminous intensity distribution on the right is from a glass lens with a typical refractive index of 1.5.Displayed on the left, a lens with a refractive index of 1.6.It could be made from a higher index of refraction glass or plastic, such as polycarbonate. The luminous intensity distribution of light traveling through a lens depends not only on lens shape but also on refractive index. ![]() This can be seen in the example below, where light travels through two identically shaped plano convex lenses with different refractive indices. Even a small change in the refractive index can affect the candela distribution of the transmitted light. When designing a lens that transmits light, it is necessary to consider the material’s refractive index. For normal incidence (Θ i = 0°), the amount of light reflected is found byįor most glasses with a refractive index of 1.5, reflection losses at the surface result in an approximate 4% decrease in light intensity. The reflection of light at the surface occurs due to an instantaneous change in refractive index between glass and its surrounding medium. Larger indices of refraction in glass result in greater differences between the angle of incidence and transmission of light. The angle of transmission can be calculated using Snell’s law: The index of refraction of the glass determines not only how much light is reflected and transmitted, but also its refracted angle in the glass. When a beam of light hits a glass surface, part of the beam is reflected and part is transmitted. For normal incidence, approximately 4 % of the light is reflected this value is determined by the refractive index of the glass. Light that is incident on a glass surface will be reflected at an angle equal to the angle of incidence and transmitted according to Snell’s law. The refractive index ( n) of a material is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that of light in the material. This is why light travels fast in glass, faster in water, and fastest in a vacuum. Typically, higher electron densities in a material result in lower velocities. You’re probably familiar with the concept of “traveling at the speed of light”, but did you know that the speed of light can change? Light’s speed is reduced when it travels through a medium due to the interaction of photons with electrons. In this article, we review refractive index, transmission, absorption, and wavelength dependency and discuss how these properties impact product design. Still, familiarity with a few fundamental optical properties will help engineers pick the right material for their application. Today, most engineers use advanced software tools to simulate the properties of a material and their impact on optical performance. The optical properties of a material determine how it will interact with light. They ask “Can I use my existing lens design with the new glass material? Will the resulting light output have the same chromaticity, distribution, and intensity?” The answers to these questions are rooted in understanding the optical properties of materials. For example, they may be switching from an existing polycarbonate lens design to glass due to concerns about durability in harsh environments. ![]() We often hear from engineers who are evaluating the impact of a design change from one lens material to another. We will define common glass properties and explain their application and importance in component design. This is the second article in a three-part series that reviews the thermal, optical, and mechanical properties of glass. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If a player gets permissions on a plot and then leaves, they will still have permissions on their plot unless the other player also leaves.Few games on Roblox are as popular as Bloxburg.If a player is carried into a blocked plot by somebody who is unblocked, the player will remain in the game unless the player jumps off which will result in them getting kicked.Players cannot set a family permission as Blocked.However, if the player step foot onto the plot, they will be kicked from the game.If a player leaves and rejoins a server while blocked, the force field around the house that blocked the player will appear to be gone.The player can use phones to invite other players to their plot, which will automatically set them to 'Guest'.Blocked people can be invited to parties, but this will not change their permission.The game will automatically toggle everyone's permission to "Guest" unless they already have a previous permission.Parties will allow everybody (except for players who have party invites set to off) to teleport in front of your plot.You can also set the default family permission level in this menu. It also allows the player to see what players other family members have invited into their family. With the Bloxburg family tree, the player can see who is in their family. If they remove someone from the family, they will keep the permission that was granted to them.Īdded in version 0.12.1, the Bloxburg family tree allows the player to do several different thing. If a player were to change a family permission, people already in their family will keep their old family permission. Other than roleplaying, there is no other usage for family permissions. If they accept, both players will be granted the family permissions for each respective house. Whenever a player requests to add someone to a family, they can accept or deny. At the "set permissions & family" part of house management, there are + next to other people's names and a "family permission" (from none to co-owner). Unlike other roles, family can be with another role. Permissions and Family menu, with family features. Players are recommended to only give this permission to trustworthy people. Trolls who have been given the Co-Owner permission can delete the Owner's house with individual selection (meaning they don't have to bulldoze). This is currently the highest permission. They can build on plots with a set budget given by the owner and can also sell items in Build Mode, but they cannot buy Blockbux items. The Roommate permission is considered to be halfway between the "Guest" and "Co-Owner" permissions, meaning only trusted Guests should be granted this permission.Ĭo-Owner has almost every permission the Plot Owner has, with the exception of being unable to pay house bills, change the house's name (file name), kick other players out, change plot permissions, and bulldoze. By disabling Roommate Building in the settings menu, they had the same permissions as a Guest but can access all doors whether they are locked or unlocked by the owner. They could use vehicles, open/use doors, see contents of a fridge, and store food in a fridge. In previous versions, Roommates had the highest permission level. Roommates have the ability to change pictures in the Owner's house, move objects and place items from the owner's inventory. This is the only permission where there is an option to lock various doors and prevent players from using certain items.Ĭurrently, Roommates have an additional ability to edit a plot in Build Mode, given a set budget by the owner only if "Roommate Building" is enabled in Settings. Guests cannot open doors that are locked for guests by the owner, and they cannot build on plots. Guests can take food items, snack items, or flowers from display cases as well. They cannot see the contents of a fridge or store food in a fridge. Guests can open doors and interact with items, such as sitting on a couch or playing games on a computer. This permission is automatically set for everybody, as it is a neutral permission. They do not have access to the house, but sometimes they can find ways to glitch inside. Players with this permission can only knock on doors and ring doorbells. ![]() The Blocked permission is the lowest permission. This will prevent them from walking on a plot, as well as interacting with any nearby facilities. Players who are blocked cannot access the Owner's plot, and a black force field like the one in build mode will surround their plot. ![]() ![]() Up next we have Amimi Amour’s recreation of social media star Kylie Jenner’s 37 million $ mansion in Los Angeles.

![]() ![]() Transitions are always challenging, but I honestly feel like coming to work at WSD is a bit like coming home. While I do not have prior work history as a school finance manager, I am fortunate to have a substantial network of colleagues around the state whom I could call upon for support if needed. I am excited to learn those systems, and to work with the other members of the finance and leadership teams to identify opportunities to strengthen and improve them. Thanks to Rebecca Goulet’s years of dedicated service and leadership at WSD, I know there are strong systems and procedures in place to ensure WSD’s resources are protected and well-managed. While I believe my experience at the state level regarding education finance and policy will be useful in terms of understanding the fiscal pressures and policies that WSD will have to navigate, I am most excited about developing and applying my skills “in the real world” of a school district. Are you excited about learning certain aspects of your new role? How are you handling the transition? You clearly have impressive leadership experience understanding and explaining Vermont’s education funding system but this will be the first time you manage day-to-day school district financial operations. I also developed substantial technical expertise in special education funding, and familiarity with the various state and federal grant programs that school districts are accountable to. In my work delivering training and support to school board members, I developed an ability to translate Vermont’s extremely complicated system to school board members and communities, so that they understood how decisions at the local level regarding budgets and investments translate into statewide and local tax rate impacts. Understanding Vermont’s education funding and finance system was also a big piece of my job at the VSBA. Providing strong fiscal oversight and budget management was a key focus of my work as Executive Director. I oversaw all aspects of the organization – finance, policy, personnel, member services, and advocacy – while reporting to a 23-member board of directors and managing a staff of four and more than a dozen consultants serving approximately 1,400 school board members across the state. Most recently, I had the pleasure of serving the Vermont School Boards Association (VSBA). I started out as an Instructional Assistant at Essex High School in 1999, and since then have worked in a variety of different roles in public education and human services. ![]() I have spent my career dedicated to the firm belief that all Vermont students should have access to high quality educational opportunities that will equip them with the knowledge and skills they need for success in career, citizenship, and life. We asked Nicole a few questions so we could all get to know her better. Nicole will be filling the vacant position left by Rebecca Goulet, who served the WSD with integrity and persistence for more than two decades. “I have known Nicole for several years and admired her ability to analyze complex educational challenges in a clear, collaborative manner with an eye on student-centered results.” “We are very excited and fortunate to welcome Nicole into the WSD team! She brings proven leadership, vision and financial skills to our organization combined with a deep understanding of the Winooski schools and the broader community,” said WSD Superintendent Sean McMannon. Throughout her career she has proved herself as a tireless advocate for equity through sound public policy. ![]() ![]() Nicole served on the Winooski City Council for four years and was briefly mayor. Nicole is a long-time Winooski resident, and her daughter, Olive, attends JFK Elementary. “I knew I wouldn’t have another opportunity like this, to be part of such a wonderful team,” said Nicole. While she was looking forward to practicing law, when the finance manager position opened up, she felt she had to apply. Last year she left her position with the VSBA to practice law with a private firm that represents school districts in Vermont. Nicole worked for eight years at the Vermont School Boards Association (VSBA), first as the General Counsel and then as Executive Director. Nicole Mace will be joining the Winooski School District (WSD) as Finance Manager. ![]() ![]() ![]() Successfully completing a crossword puzzle definitely boosts the ego-but there are even more tangible benefits to crosswords than self-admiration. No matter how you approach the crossword puzzle, this remains the same: There's not much in the world more satisfying than filling in that very last square. Gather 'round the Sunday puzzle with friends, helping each other with clues. Fill 'em out on an app, and make the commute whiz by. Do' em at the dining room table on a slow weekend morning, pencil in hand (or pen, if you're feeling reckless). Maybe all the people wondering about this are solving it under 12 minutes and not getting Time Bonus and the people taking more than that are getting the bonus.There are endless ways to tackle a crossword puzzle. If someone wants to test it, they should intentionally do it in more than 12 minutes and see if they get a higher score. The sign should not be minus, but a plus.ĭoes the formula written here have the wrong sign or is the actual formula programmed wrong? If you solve it in 720 (12 min) it's value is - (0) = 0 points If you solve it in 0 seconds it's value - (720) * 10 = -7200 points. However the part of the formula " - (720 - Solve Time in Seconds) * 10" will subtract points the faster you solve it because of the leading minus sign. ![]() I see the magic number for a bonus is supposed to be 12 minutes (720 seconds). I presume the idea is giving more points the faster you solve it. I understand this an attempt to give points according to the time to solve the puzzle. If this is a formula, what is "The Daily Crossword" value?Ģ. The Daily Crossword - (720 - Solve Time in Seconds) * 10ġ. I still see posts with lots of doubts from many people. People have arthritis and eye issues others cognitive issues. Many r slow with response or struggle to hit the small keys inadvertently hitting wrong keys so must slow down. ![]() I’ve resumed playing and am trying to just enjoy the puzzle but ultimately do look at the scores only to see nothing as changed their r people with outrageous scores if speed is calculated I personally think this is wrong. I finally stopped playing for weeks as the scoring made no sense. Then I began feeling pressured competitive stopped enjoying it as much. I used to do it just to enjoy it until I scrolled down one day and saw I was listed with others as top scorers again never as high as mentioned above. If so many people r saying this something must clearly be wrong. As others have stated the scoring seems to make no sense. But I never have scored as high as others who score 440,000 how is this possible? There must be more to the scoring as I’m referring to puzzles done the same day. Even when I do well my scores r not as high as others scores then there r days I do not do as well and I’m shocked at how high my score is. If possible, could you share the puzzle’s date and what was your score? That would help us to look into it further to see if you're possibly experiencing some sort of bug. You mention a “very low score” below despite completing the puzzle without help and in reasonable time. Subtract the 42 black squares = 183 total cells X 10 = 1830 achievable score

The boards are also available when the Hangout ends on Conceptboard’s website for those who create a free account and via a unique URL. Essentially, the company has just packed its current online whiteboarding service into Hangouts, allowing users to freehand scribble, use drawing tools, import other files (including images, PDFs, Office docs), write notes, create tasks and take screenshots and share their screen area and cursor with others (i.e., presentation mode).

The devteam behind this release wanted to make things as easy and accessible as possible, so they included download links to the Twilight Hack, The Homebrew Channel, and even a homebrew software bundle to get you started. We did run into a problem where it failed to load any of our homebrew apps or even reboot properly if a Gamecube memory card was in the slot, but it’s an easy fix, just pull it out. We tested it ourselves, and found that everything loaded properly from the SD card (we didn’t try the other sources). The Wii will reboot and then the channel will appear in the list. The Homebrew Channel can be loaded onto the Wii by running the Twilight Hack (don’t worry, it’ll probably be for the last time) with the Homebrew Channel Files in the root of your SD card. There is no USB flash drive or DVD support at the moment. It can access apps stored on an SD card, a computer on the same network, and even USB Gecko. The Homebrew Channel lets you launch various homebrew apps with a useful GUI instead of performing the hack every time you want to run them. Up to this point, the only way you could run homebrew on an unmodded Wii was the Twilight Hack, which leveraged a flaw in Twilight Princess save games. Especially not now that the doors to the homebrew scene have been blown open by The Homebrew Channel. Had enough Nintendo homebrew action yet?
