![]() The metal is heavily patinated & proudly shows it's age. ![]() The angel on the right side however, is missing it's turquoise.(See photos) In the center is a table cut, cut of turquoise that is framed by small red coral cuts that lay in a cross pattern. ![]() Off the sides of the cross, hang the kneeling angels that have a twisted wire halo & a candlestick in hand.A tiny cut of turquoise sits in the candlestick. The Paloma's that face inward at the top of the cross are one of her earlier styles that you can see in the way they are tooled.At all points of the cross,there is a soften "U" shape of little turquoise beads that sit in her signature 'garland' style, where they lay side by side in one bezel rather than being individually set.A pear shape cut of turquoise sits outside this area. This is a very old & very rare stand that may only be 4" tall in height, but has a 10 feet tall presence when it comes to design, workmanship & history! Matilde brought her "Kneeling Angel" design to the industry just under 100 years ago & is signature to only her & her alone. Unlike this amazing artist's jewelry,Ms Poulat's ornate religious stands are not the easiest to come across,since they are highly collectible & have gone into the hands of collectors. To this day, her work is HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! Her jewelry was worn & collected by celebrities in Mexico(Including Frida Kahlo) & the 'elite of America. Every piece made, are literally works of art. Another one of her signature styles was her time consuming 'chasing' work in the metal,as well as using 'pyramidal' cuts of amethyst. She was known for laying round turquoise or coral cabochons, all in one bezel that was then crimped' to hold the stones in, rather than setting them individually & you will see the perfect example of this style in this stand,which gives her piece's a whole different look, because of this. Each designer during the Mexican Silver Renaissance days had their own unique style,but it was Matilde,who brought the beautiful motifs of doves, flowers, tiny bells & angels that are reminiscent of the whimsical subjects of contemporary Mexican folk art.The beauty of her metal work,was so time consuming & was considered Baroque in style with a undeniably "Mexican" look. She produced some of the most ornate jewelry that was being produced in Mexico back in the day.The inspirations she fell back on were inspired from the Mixtec people of Monte Alban, Oaxaca area. She opened shop in 1934 & ended up having her own 'signature look",which to this day people still pay homage to her designs. Matl produced some of the most ornate jewelry in Mexico.Designed by Matilde Poulat (AKA "Matl" (Aztec for "Water") who is & always will be one of my personal favorites that made her fame during the "Mexican Silver Renaissance Days" & later.She was a painter & designer 1st & was born in the Yucatan & later on went to study at the San Carlos Academy in Mexico City at the same time the famous muralist & husband to Frida Kahlo,Diego Rivera was studying there.One of her 1st teachers was a "P.OCHOA",a man whose works you rarely come across & you will find Matl's earliest works,emulating Ochoa's,which was nothing like the style she ended up owning. Matl opened her shop in 1934 and created her own signature look which people still emulate to this day. Rivera's wife, famous painter Frida Kahlo, was a patron of her work. Matilde Poulat (aka Matl) was born in the Yucatan and later on went to study at the San Carlos Academy in Mexico City at the same time as the famous muralist Diego Rivera. Signed to the verso with Matl, Mexico, 925. The full centerpiece measures 2.17" from top to the bottom of the middle drop. The necklace measures 18" long and weighs a total of 46.2 grams. ![]() Below is a dangling embellishment with three coral cabochons, leading to three silver drops each with a turquoise cabochon. The focal point of the necklace is a centerpiece with bezel-set turquoise and a large center kite-shaped amethyst. The decorated box clasp is handmade as well. This necklace, circa the 1950s, features linked panels of hand-chased silver dotted with turquoise cabochons and accented with two pyramidal amethysts. A very fine example of Matl (Matilde Poulat)'s incredible jewelry design and handworked silversmithing talent. Claris purchased Nashoba to round out its software suite. Shortly thereafter, Apple Computer formed Claris, a wholly owned subsidiary, to market software. Microsoft negotiated with Nashoba for the right to publish FileMaker, but Nashoba decided to self-publish the next version, FileMaker 4. Microsoft had introduced its own database application, Microsoft File, shortly before FileMaker, but was outsold by FileMaker and therefore Microsoft File was discontinued. When Apple introduced the Macintosh Plus in 1986 the next version of FileMaker was named FileMaker Plus to reflect the new model's name.įorethought was purchased by Microsoft, which was then introducing their PowerPoint product that became part of Microsoft Office. Nashoba found another distributor, Forethought Inc., and introduced the program on the Macintosh platform as FileMaker in April 1985. Leading Edge was not interested in newer versions, preferring to remain a DOS-only vendor, and kept the Nutshell name. With the introduction of the Macintosh, Nashoba combined the basic data engine with a new forms-based graphical user interface (GUI). Nutshell was distributed by Leading Edge, an electronics marketing company that had recently started selling IBM PC-compatible computers. It is also available hosted by Claris, called FileMaker Cloud.įileMaker began as an MS-DOS-based computer program named Nutshell – developed by Nashoba Systems of Concord, Massachusetts, in the early 1980s. ![]() Since 1992 it has been available for Microsoft Windows and for the classic Mac OS and macOS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.įileMaker Go, the mobile app, was released for iOS devices in July 2010.įileMaker Server allows centralized hosting of apps which can be used by clients running the desktop or mobile apps. It was rebranded as FileMaker Pro in 1990. ![]() It is available in desktop, server, iOS and web-delivery configurations.įileMaker Pro, the desktop app, evolved from a DOS application, originally called simply FileMaker, but was then developed primarily for the Apple Macintosh and released in April 1985.

Ounce to Kilogram Conversion Table Ounce ġ5 oz = 15 × 0.0283495231 kg = 0.Before we dive into the conversion formula, let’s first understand the difference between pounds and kilograms. ![]() This is evidenced by the fact that the mass of the original prototype for the kilogram now weighs 50 micrograms less than other copies of the standard kilogram.Ĭurrent use: As a base unit of SI, the kilogram is used globally in nearly all fields and applications, with the exception of countries like the United States, where the kilogram is used in many areas, at least to some extent (such as science, industry, government, and the military) but typically not in everyday applications. Prior to the current definition, the kilogram was defined as being equal to the mass of a physical prototype, a cylinder made of a platinum-iridium alloy, which was an imperfect measure. The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of one liter of water at its freezing point in 1794, but was eventually re-defined, since measuring the mass of a volume of water was imprecise and cumbersome.Ī new definition of the kilogram was introduced in 2019 based on Planck's constant and changes to the definition of the second. This is at least in part due to the inconsistencies and lack of coherence that can arise through use of centimeter-gram-second systems, such as those between the systems of electrostatic and electromagnetic units. SI is a system based on the meter-kilogram-second system of units rather than a centimeter-gram-second system. Unlike the other SI base units, the kilogram is the only SI base unit with an SI prefix. History/origin: The name kilogram was derived from the French "kilogramme," which in turn came from adding Greek terminology meaning "a thousand," before the Late Latin term "gramma" meaning "a small weight." The changes were intended to improve the definitions of SI base units, not to actually change how the units are used throughout the world. ![]() Even though the definition of the kilogram was changed in 2019, the actual size of the unit remained the same. The meter and the second are defined in terms of c, the speed of light, and cesium frequency, Δ νCs. It is currently defined based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, h, which is equal to 6.62607015 × 10 -34 in the units of J Kilogramĭefinition: A kilogram (symbol: kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is however, still used in some settings in the UK, such as restaurants. Due to metrication, the United Kingdom (UK) no longer officially uses the ounce. The ounce is still used in some other countries around the world that have roots in British history and culture. It is mostly used in the United States for measuring packaged food products, food portions, and postal items, among other things. The current definition of the ounce, the international avoirdupois ounce was adopted in 1959.Ĭurrent use: The ounce is still a standard unit of mass in the US customary system of measurement. Examples include the Dutch metric ounce (100g), French ounce (30.59g), and the Spanish ounce (28.75g), among others. The ounce has been used as a standard of mass throughout history for different applications and with different definitions. This relationship between the Roman pound and foot eventually contributed to the uncia being the basis of the modern inch as well as the common ounce. The copper bar was divided into twelve equal parts, called unciae. History/origin: The origin of the term ounce stems from the Roman uncia, which means a "twelfth part," and the use of a standardized copper bar which defined both the Roman pound and foot. The avoirdupois ounce (the common ounce) is defined as exactly 28.349523125 grams and is equivalent to one sixteenth of an avoirdupois pound. Definition: An ounce (symbol: oz) is a unit of mass in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. ![]() ![]() I did this for the apes, and I have updated the table and chart to include current numbers & the addition of the cats. One metric I use to determine the strength of a project is the % of unique holders, or the average NFTs per holder. Not to mention there are plenty of apes like me who also love the cats. Cats were perfectly positioned to create a new community out of these people. I wrote about why I think the market was ripe to jump on the cat bandwagon in this twitter thread but the cliff notes version is that there are a lot of people who feel like they missed out on the BAYC bandwagon and are now priced out of jumping on. One of the most notable/interesting things with GutterCats is that their mint count was significantly lower than any other similar project, and the mint price was also on the low end being at 0.07. It’s still a bit too early to tell how the cats are going to play out but we can look at everything that has happened since launch (and even pre-launch) and try and make some educated guesses. There is value in being a part of a community, but only if that value is created by the community members and the team behind it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I think NFT avatars are a multi billion dollar industry, and this is just the beginning. There is room for more than one successful avatar project in this space. The BAYC clearly have a winning formula, so why not copy them (or to phrase it more kindly: “take inspiration from them”). The concept is essentially a complete knock-off of the Bored Apes - a bunch of NFTs that can double as avatars as well as serving as some sort of membership to a club or community, with full rights granted to the owner. Ownership includes creative & commercial rights of your Gutter Cat as well as initiation into the Gang. The Gutter Cat Gang is a collection of 3000 unique Gutter Cat NFTs who live in the post-apocalyptic shatters of society on the ETH blockchain. One crime-ridden, nondescript inner city is inhabited by a group of cats collectively known as the Gutter Cats. Humans are an interplanetary species and have all but abandoned the post-apocalyptic shatters of society on earth. Here is how they describe themselves on their website : You’re forgiven if you don’t know what the Gutter Cat Gang is because they are very new to the NFT space, although they made one hell of an entrance. in the year 2050… and this is basically my full time job now. I just had a look at the picture above and I thought to myself: what on earth has my life become? I’m sitting down to write an in-depth letter on a whirlwind 48 hours surrounding digital cats. ![]() Congress appropriates funding and provides oversight for policy initiatives with implications for piracy in the region, including maritime security assistance to regional governments, support to peacekeeping operations in Somalia, and funding for U.S. Congress has examined options to address piracy both diplomatically and militarily. The Obama Administration has initiated a new “dual track” policy toward Somalia, where some contend that international efforts to build a credible central authority have failed. The United States has sought to prevent, disrupt, and prosecute Somali piracy through a range of interagency and multilateral coordination and enforcement mechanisms. The trend of the increased levels of violence employed by the pirates as well as their expanding reach is disconcerting.” Some suggest that a perception of impunity exists among pirates and financiers 9 out of 10 Somali pirates apprehended by naval patrols are reportedly released because no jurisdiction is prepared to prosecute them. Secretary-General warns that “while the effectiveness of naval disruption operations has increased and more pirates have been arrested and prosecuted, this has not stopped piracy. Increased patrols and proactive efforts by ships have reduced attacks in the Gulf of Aden, but the U.N. arms embargo on Somalia, support for the TFG security forces.Ĭounter-piracy patrols by multinational naval forces near Somalia are intended to complement mariners’ self-protection measures. The Council has authorized international navies to counter piracy both in Somali territorial waters and ashore, with the consent of Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government (TFG), and has also authorized, as an exemption to the U.N. The U.N Security Council has issued a series of resolutions since 2008 to facilitate an international response, which is coordinated by a multilateral Contact Group. ![]() The annual cost of piracy to the global economy ranges from $7 billion to $12 billion, by some estimates. These revenues may further exacerbate the ongoing conflict and undermine regional security. Somalia’s “pirate economy” has grown substantially in the past two years, with ransoms now averaging more than $5 million. The apparent motive of most pirate groups, however, is profit, and piracy has proven to be lucrative. Some allege that the absence of Somali coastal security authorities has allowed illegal international fishing and maritime dumping to go unchecked, which in turn has undermined coastal communities’ economic prospects, providing economic or political motivation to some pirates. The lack of law enforcement capacity creates a haven where pirates hold hostages during ransom negotiations that can last for months. The absence of a functioning central government there provides freedom of action for pirates and remains the single greatest challenge to regional security. The increase in pirate attacks off the Horn of Africa is directly linked to continuing insecurity and the absence of the rule of law in war-torn Somalia. Hostage taking for ransom has been a hallmark of Somali piracy, and the IMB reports that more hostages, over 1,180, were taken at sea in 2010 than any year since records began over 86% of those were taken by Somali pirates. Using increasingly sophisticated tactics, these pirates now operate as far east as the Maldives in good weather, and as far south as the Mozambique Channel. Somali pirates have attacked ships in the Gulf of Aden, along Somalia’s eastern coastline, and outward into the Indian Ocean. According to the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), at least 219 attacks occurred in the region in 2010, with 49 successful hijackings. Pirate attacks in the waters off Somalia and the Horn of Africa, including those on U.S.-flagged vessels, have brought renewed international attention to the long-standing problem of maritime piracy. ![]() Silver has a density of 10.5 g/cm³ (.379 lbs/in³) and nickel silver 8.4 g/cm³ (.

Unfortunately for me, it was a full room that day. ![]() I remember swaggering up to the yulgar, with the Chaotic dragon lord armour, the tentacles of overlord cape and the stalagbite dragon pet, and entering a random room. But I was 15, impulsive and full of misguided pride and childish innocence. Which roughly translates (I failed French at GCSE's sooo) think about your actions before you do them. My Grandmother used to say (in her atypical broken French) rechercher une action avant de le faire. For some unknown reason, I then I wanted to share this "achievement" with other players in yulgar because I thought it was a rare and unheard of occurence.

I felt like I had reconnected with some lost piece of my soul (oh god, I use hyperbole to the tenth degree). Jumping into the game the tutorial put in place by AE bright me up to speed. I chose Warrior because to me, it looked the coolest out of the four that and I had no bearing/insight into the current AQW fashion at the time :D. The base classes (mage, rogue, warrior and healer) looked completely different and better to (in my own opinion). To my surprise, the entire interface had been re vamped, a very nice touch from AE.

Minutes turned into hours - after suffering a migraine from staring at my screen blankly frantically trying to remember my password, a searing throbbing pain in my hands from typing the wrong password repeatedly, I finally reached a decision. After many back and forth emails between myself and AE, they finally ommitted that they couldn't recover my account. I decided I was going to give AQW a try agin, so I sent my first email to AE tottery to recover my account. I remember it vividly because that was the moment that had ignited my interest in the game again. I played the game casually in 20, and that was mainly comprised of me hoping in and out of Yulgars because I was showing off my purchase of the tentacles of the overlord and Vath's chaotic dragon lord armour (I think I thought the armour was cool and rare, forgive me, I was around 11 :D).Īround 2015, I had been huddled up on a cold Saturday night shifting through the weird side of youtube, wilfully watching an endless amount of bizarre videos when the AQW trailer popped up as an ad to the right side of the screen.

Then, read aloud from the curriculum for 20 minutes or so per day, depending on what your students can handle. How to teach Superflex to kids ages 8+ (with average maturity): First, read the introductory Superflex storybook to introduce students to the characters. With ages 8 and up, if kids are able, encourage them to use self-regulation strategies to defeat the Unthinkables. When teaching about Superflex to kids ages 5 to 7 or older kids who are immature, focus on developing awareness that their brains generate the powers of the Thinkables and Unthinkables. The curriculum is intended to be taught to children ages 7 to 10+, but can be tailored for use with younger and older kids. The Superflex Curriculum was designed to be used only after students have practiced being a “social detective”. Superflex empowers and motivates students to self-regulate-reducing meltdowns and anxiety as students develop their own inner superhero.Ĭhildren with diagnoses who respond well to Superflex teachings often have autism levels 1 and 2, ADHD, social communication disorders, and others.įirst, teach You are a Social Detective! to help kids develop a solid foundation of social awareness so they can get the most out of using Superflex teachings. the Unthinkables) helps students learn about their own behavior in a non-threatening way.

The children enter Superflex’s hometown, Social Town, and learn about the cast of sneaky Unthinkables who are trying to invade the brains of everyone who lives there. Introductory Storybook: Superflex Takes on Rock Brain and the Team of Unthinkables, is a 21-page storybook that tells the story of how Superflex came to be a superhero. The curriculum outlines the powers of each of the 14 Unthinkables and teaches strategies to help students subdue each Unthinkable as it invades their brains. Superflex helps them take on the Team of Unthinkables* (we are officially changing Unthinkables to UnthinkaBots over the course of 2021-22), cartoon-like characters who embody different behaviors and challenges such as Rock Brain, who makes people get stuck on their own ideas, and Glassman, who makes people have huge upset reactions to small problems. Kids learn they each have Superflex (a flexible-thinking superhero) inside their brains. Superflex Curriculum: The 106-page curriculum contains lessons, activities, character profiles, and materials to create a personalized Superflex Superhero Training Academy for your students. Please spend time teaching You are a Social Detective! before using the Superflex Curriculum with kids. IMPORTANT: The first book in the Superflex series is You are a Social Detective!, which builds social awareness-the foundation of self-regulation. Looking for an engaging way to teach social awareness and self-regulation? Superflex, to the rescue! Kids around the world are having fun learning strategies and practicing new skills to boost their “Superflex powers,” so they don’t realize they’re improving their self-regulation and flexible-thinking abilities!
