Resources for Watershed Restoration Projects by the BMWCĬlimate Justice Summer: Another program that INVST and the BMWC work on together is, INVST students explore energy issues during their annual visit to the Diné (or Navajo) Nation in Northeastern Arizona. ![]() It includes general information and examples of watershed restoration, information about effective community engagement in restoration projects, information about water laws on reservations, and helpful contacts to reach out to, both at CU and around the United States. INVST presents this report to Black Mesa Water Coalition, to support them in fulfilling their mission. Linked below is a report created to assist BMWC in learning how to engage in community-based restoration projects. Watershed restoration is a key component to the work that INVST does with Black Mesa Water Coalition. On this visit, students learned about Navajo culture, dry land subsistence farming and permaculture, preparing fields for planting and the harvesting of food, and reclaiming the ways we live on the land and regard the air and water that sustains us with honor and respect. Sustainability Spring Break: Students from Boulder engaged in experiential education with Black Mesa Water Coalition. ![]() Below are the programs we participate in together: Through the following programs, INVST works with the BMWC in order to learn how to incorporate compassionate action into the realms of social and environmental justice. Black Mesa Water Coalition (BMWC), under the leadership of Roberto Nutlouis, is a grassroots organization that works to bring about social and environmental justice, in the process of creating a just transition.

![]() In people with Meniere’s disease, the buildup of fluid interferes with the signals sent between the brain and the ear, leading to symptoms like vertigo. This part of your ear, called the labyrinth, contains receptors that send signals to your brain about the position of your body. Problems with the inner ear allow fluid to build up in a part of the ear responsible for balance. You can develop Meniere’s at any age, but it most commonly develops between the ages of 40 and 60. Vertigo is a common symptom of Meniere’s disease, a disorder of the inner ear that affects balance and hearing. While the attacks are often brief, they can cause significant distress. People with BPPV often experience sudden, intense dizzy spells that are triggered by certain head positions. ![]() Once there, these particles can interfere with the normal movement of fluid in the ear and, thereby, with the motion signals sent to the brain. It occurs when calcium crystals normally found in the vertebrate of the inner ear breaks apart and ends up in the ear canals. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigoĪ mechanical problem with the inner ear known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo. Vertigo is often associated with an inner ear problem. Some people experience vertigo severe enough to make it difficult to maintain balance when performing everyday tasks. In people with vertigo, attacks can develop suddenly when sitting or standing and may last for just a few seconds, or they may last longer. This disorienting feeling subsides when you stop spinning. If you’ve ever spun around in a circle and stopped suddenly, then you’re familiar with the sensation of the world around you spinning. Here’s what we think you should know about this condition. If you experience vertigo, an otolaryngologist - also known as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor - can diagnose and treat your condition to improve your quality of life.Īt Southern ENT Associates, we treat patients with vertigo at our seven Louisiana locations. Persistent vertigo can have a major impact on your daily life and can lead to depression and anxiety-related symptoms. These dizzy spells can be temporary or chronic.

The app is an innovative 3-in-1 Rest Stop Locator for road trip planning, driving, and navigating. The RestStopsAhead App Addresses Driver Road Trip Needs Supported by accurate and proprietary rest stop data (no out-of-date internet-sourced data).Supports road trip planning, driving, and navigating on one app.Comprehensive and innovative functionality (but no tedious or complicated features).Able to filter user-preferred amenities (no need to have to visit the rest stop to find out what services are offered there).Simple to use (no complex functions or dropdowns, no non-intuitive processes).To accomplish this, the app had to have five major attributes: ![]() In this case: REST STOPS for road travelers. We wanted to create a robust yet easy-to-use POI (point-of-interest) locator. If creating a road trip with the Route Map/PLANNING VIEW, use the Long-Press feature to scroll and pan along the route and select preferred rest stops as needed. If your rest stop search proximity scale is set to 500 miles, you will see all facilities within 500 miles of the specified location, if the scale is set at 50 miles, you will see only those within 50 miles, etc. Here’s how it works: when you press and hold your tap on a map location for a few seconds, rest stops around that location will be displayed. When in DRIVING VIEW, the driving distance and navigation to these rest stops will be available in the rest stop info popup. This feature aids the user in selecting preferred rest stops prior to an actual road trip to minimize stress and maximize knowledge of the road ahead. Neither driving distance nor navigation is available when the user has activated the Long-Press. In a PLANNING VIEW, activating the Long-Press allows you to locate and select rest stops thousands of miles away as part of planning a lengthy road trip, or just to examine rest stop locations near a place or destination of interest. ?’s Only Friend and Ludovico Technique this ain’t. “But you can move him around and get him close to enemies!” It sometimes freaks out if there are too many enemies around. It has an auto-fire effect if enemies get into it’s line of sight. If Robo-Baby was awesome, then Robo-Baby 2.0 should be even more awesome, right? Kinda. The result? A way to snipe from across the room while still keeping your own murderweapons intact. Although he doesn’t syngergize with Isaac’s tear effects, he doesn’t replace his tears either. ![]() Rating: 4.5/5 if anyone but Cain, 3/5 if playing as Cain. For Cain, then, Tech 2 is completely inferior to Tech 1, although still quite good (see below for awesome seed!). Now, some of you may be wondering – what makes it worse than Technology if you’re playing as Cain? Don’t they both cause you to lose your tear ability? Tech 2, since it still allows for tears normally, is balanced by only being about half as strong as a regular tear. It makes for really good damage output…unless you’re playing as Cain.Ĭain only fires tears from his right eye, which happens to be the eye that gets replaced by Tech 2. It replaces one eye with a continuous Tech laser, but still allows for you to fire tears off. Technology 2 is a hybrid between the other two Tech pickups. Of the three Tech pickups, this is my favorite, due to its consistent damage and synergy with my go-to character (we’ll see more on this below). ((Seed: EALF GOL6)) Technology plus Inner Eye One pro of using Technology (and the other Tech pickups), is that they will synergize with tear effects, giving you such shenanigans as: This completely replaces your tears, however. When using Technology, you fire a rapid-fire laser from your left eye. Technology itself, like Tech 0.5, is a good idea with a liability that you may not want to take. However, it doesn’t affect your tears, so it is essentially extra (if unreliable) damage. ![]() That’s a big con if you’re interested in sustained damage. Isaac gets a laser shooting from the center of his head! However, it only sporadically shoots lasers, as the technology is still in a beta phase. There are five items in Binding of Isaac that give the Technology effect: three pickups (Tech 0.5, Technology, and Technology 2) and two familiars (Robo-Baby and Robo-Baby 2.0). As a tradeoff, it has a very narrow hitbox compared to normal tears. Technology is a thin laser beam that is shot full screen and pierces through enemies. Before I get into looking at various Technological ‘marvels’, however, we should first discuss what Technology is in Binding of Isaac. This time on BOI: S, I’ll be talking about Technology, when its awesome, and when it’s not. I was really craving GIFs for some reason!

You can easily connect your preferred headphones or earbuds to a Raspberry Pi. The advantage of using a Jack port is that the Raspberry Pi will recognize the plug-in as a device to play audio over on its own, so no additional setting is required. If you don’t have a USB speaker or simply wish to hear the sound through another device, the Raspberry Pi also has a jack connector. Learn all of the necessary abilities in the proper order. I’m here to assist you in getting started with the Raspberry Pi. Today’s Raspberry Pi Bootcamp Sale is 10% off. In any way, you can test USB devices on your Raspberry Pi if you already have them.

If you need help getting started with Raspberry Pi, I’ve created a full course to guide you through the process. Audio can be connected in a variety of ways. Raspberry Pi can be physically connected to a speaker via an audio connector or a USB port, or wirelessly via Bluetooth.Īlthough the Raspberry Pi lacks a built-in speaker, attaching one to the computer is simple. However, you can connect a speaker to a variety of audio output options. They do not, however, have all of the functions of other computers, so it is crucial to understand what they can do. ![]() They are an excellent teaching tool for individuals learning to program, and they have a wide range of features. If you know how to use a Raspberry Pi, it’s a fantastic machine. The Raspberry Pi has an audio connector, but it appears to only take digital information, rather than analog, so how does sound come out of that? This is a question that has been asked around the web the last few years, but it has always been a mystery. It’s not as if they will just suddenly make one, but there is a possibility that you could purchase an extra speaker for the Pi at some point in the future. It sounds silly to say this, but I have been asked this question a lot over the last year. The Pi officially does not have a speaker. I’ll assume you have a working Raspberry Pi, and either Raspbian OS installed or whatever OS you prefer to run on your Pi. This blog post is about how to configure the audio output of the Raspberry Pi to allow you to play audio files from your computer, which is very similar to the way you would connect a normal speaker to a normal sound card. ![]() Overseas commitments were no longer sustainable or particularly popular. They were also more or less broke: American loans had kept the economy afloat and needed to be repaid, and even India was owed a sizable debt. OPINION: India and Pakistan’s independence day farce ![]() The British – terrorised by German bombing, demoralised by various defeats and large numbers of their soldiers taken prisoner, shaken by the desertion of Indian soldiers and the mutiny of Indian sailors, shivering in the record cold of the winter of 1945-46, crippled by power cuts and factory closures resulting from a post-war coal shortage – were exhausted and in no mood to focus on a distant Empire when their own needs at home were so pressing. But the devastation of World War II meant that only one-half of the phrase could survive: bled, bombed and battered for six years, Britain could divide, but it could no longer rule. No one in any responsible position in Britain as late as 1940 had any serious intention whatsoever of relinquishing the Empire or surrendering the jewel in His Majesty’s Crown to a rabble of nationalist Indians clad in homespun. The seeds of division were sown, to prevent a unified nationalist movement that could overthrow the British. When restricted franchise was grudgingly granted to Indians, the British created separate communal electorates, so that Muslim voters could vote for Muslim candidates for Muslim seats. ![]() A systematic policy of fomenting separate consciousness among the two communities was launched, with overt British sponsorship. “Divide et impera was an old Roman maxim, and it shall be ours”, wrote Lord Elphinstone. The British had been horrified, during the Revolt of 1857, to see Hindus and Muslims fighting side by side and under each other’s command against the foreign oppressor. This was all part of the policy of divide and rule, systematically promoting political divisions between Hindus and Muslims, defined as the monolithic communities they had never been before the British. UPFRONT: India and Pakistan – Forever rivals? (25:22) They openly helped the Muslim League take advantage of this unexpected opportunity to exercise influence and patronage that their electoral support had not earned them and to build up support while their principal opponents languished in jail. When the elected ministries of the Indian National Congress quit office in protest against the British declaring war against Germany on India’s behalf without consulting them, the British thought little of appointing unelected Muslim Leaguers in their place and, in many cases, assuming direct control of functions that had supposedly been devolved to Indians. The experience of the elected governments in the last years of the British Raj confirmed that the British had never been serious about their proclaimed project of promoting the responsible governance of India by Indians. Before World War II, they had no intention of devolving power so rapidly, or at all. In that last, mad, headlong rush to freedom and partition, the British emerge with little credit. Muslim League National Guards stand to attention in honour of the departure One of 30 special trains leaving New Delhi Station to take the staff of the Pakistan government to Karachi in 1947. More than a million people died in the savagery that accompanied the freedom of India and Pakistan some 17 million were displaced, and countless properties destroyed and looted. T he killing and mass displacement worsened as people sought frantically to be on the “right” side of the lines the British were to draw across their homeland. Partition was the coda to the collapse of British authority in India in 1947. The British liked drawing lines on maps of other countries they had done it in the Middle East after World War I, and they did it again in India. READ MORE: Memories of Partition – One man’s return to Pakistan The creation and perpetuation of Hindu-Muslim antagonism was the most significant accomplishment of British imperial policy: the colonial project of “divide et impera” (divide and rule) fomented religious antagonisms to facilitate continued imperial rule and reached its tragic culmination in 1947. Friendships were destroyed, families ruined, geography hacked, history misread, tradition denied, minds and hearts torn apart. Within months, India and Pakistan were embroiled in a war over Kashmir, the consequences of which still affect us today. Follow Al Jazeera’s coverage of the 70 years of India-Pakistan partition |
