![]() The Denton County Transportation Authority operates trains from Denton to Carrollton. Airport shuttles will continue to connect to the CentrePoint Station on that line. Monday’s opening is the agency’s 62nd station and will give it a 90-mile-long system.ĭART also has a commuter train to Fort Worth called TRE, which it jointly operates with The T, Fort Worth’s transit agency. It is the longest light-rail network in the nation. Today, four lines connect South Dallas, downtown, Uptown and several area suburbs. The lines have grown out from the city center since then. The agency’s light-rail network began in 1996 with the opening of 11.2 miles that used downtown as a hub. They were promised from the beginning that there would one day be a light-rail line to the airport. In 1983, voters in more than a dozen cities agreed to create a 1 percent sales tax to form and fund DART. Mounger, a Richardson resident, said he would definitely make use of the Orange Line once it was operational. Joe Mougher waits for a ride home outside of the A Terminal at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. “Great, international cities are connected cities,” said Rawlings. While those options are left to residents to consider, the opening leaves the region - and particularly Dallas - with a new set of bragging rights. And because the station is on the western side of DART’s network, folks along the northern and eastern lines will have to weigh lengthy travel times against potential savings. Taking the train will force many area residents to navigate the airport’s shuttles and people mover system - transit modes they may have never had to use before. “It takes me longer to drive to DART than to get to D/FW,” said Cal Lacasse, who lives in Flower Mound. Of course, not everyone sees the station as a game changer, especially those who don’t live or work along rail lines that are spread out across great distances outside of downtown. “It’s hard to drive there it’s hard to park,” said Ashley Brown, who lives in East Dallas. Many are excited at the prospect of forgoing costly airport parking or cab trips in favor of a $2.50 train ride. On a personal scale, it now gives North Texans a key option to consider when it comes to getting out of town. “Imagine what that’s going to do for the region,” said Faye Moses-Wilkins, a DART board member since 1999. They say it will dramatically bolster North Texas transit options, attract more conventions and provide a smooth welcome to international visitors. The way officials and regional leaders see it, the airport-rail link brims with promise. It is undoubtedly DART’s biggest accomplishment in its 31-year history. ![]() “Strategically, this is a major accomplishment,” said Mayor Mike Rawlings. Here’s a look at how to navigate the airport once you get off the train – or how to get back on DART once you’ve landed in North Texas. Now that DART goes to the airport, travelers may want to use some airport transportation they don’t usually need when driving. Navigating Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is the nation’s fourth busiest airport and the region’s biggest economic engine.

![]() Don't be surprised if you get shot after entering a room or going through a door. ![]() This means that you might be rushed almost immediately after you spawn be on your toes right from the start and don't loot anything at the beginning, relocate quickly instead (yes, there are more than 6 spawns currently which makes spawning safer, but many players know all of them and they will go for you right from the get-go). ![]() On a map as small as Factory, spawns are located close to each other.You still have to beware of Scavs and player Scavs that can spawn later in the raid, however. If you count 5 PMC bodies, that means you are alone on the map and can loot freely.Because of the low Player limit (maximum of 6 PMCs), there is a chance that you will be alone against a squad of 5 people Players queue in 5-man squads if they want to easily farm Scavs (all they have to do is eliminate a single PMC and cover known Scav spawns).There are few things to be expected from a Factory Raid: Now, these shelters are used mainly by Scavs and PMC operators that still dwell in the city. After the UN intervened, Factory's premises were converted into civilian shelters. Later, when the Tarkov conflict broke out, it was a stage of multiple BEAR vs USEC engagements (as a part of the industrial district, the Factory was of high strategic importance). Lore wise, the Factory was a chemical plant that was illegally rented out by the Terra Group. It features many enclosed and semi-opened areas with many elevated spots (inside Tarkov's Factory you have to have your eyes not only behind your head but also on top of it) that promote fast-paced, close-quarters engagements. The Factory is the smallest and the most dynamic of all Escape from Tarkov maps.

Even though I’m almost seven years into my minimalism journey, I still have work to do in this area for sure. But we can control how we “live our dash” – and my grandmother lived hers to the fullest.īirthdays are a good time to reflect on how we are “living our dash”. ![]() It was her body that eventually gave out. In the end, her mind was still as sharp as ever. Like all of us, my grandmother couldn’t control the dates on her tombstone. ![]() What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.

He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning… to the end. I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. ![]() I am reminded of a poem that I am planning to have read at my own funeral called The Dash by Linda Ellis. But through it all, my grandmother stayed true to her faith, her values, and her family until her last days on earth. The things that changed in her 102 years on earth are mind-boggling. As I wrote the poem that I recited at her funeral, I was in awe at what a full, amazing life she lived. After all, memories as well as thoughtful words become treasures to cherish when trying to come to terms with someone who has died.My grandmother passed away on September 8, one week before my 41st birthday. There are so many poems and readings to choose from its good to spend time considering which one reflects the person's personality, or if the words resonate with the family. Would you be proud of the things they sayīy Linda Ellis, Inspire Kindness, Final Comments Might only last a little while So, when your eulogy is being read Know what that little line is worth For it matters not, how much we own,Īnd how we spend our dash.

The poem was originally written by Linda Ellis and now the ownership of its rights is with Inspire Kindness I understand. While some people dont like the poem as they feel its dictating how to conduct our lives, it does bring comfort to others when thinking of a person who has lived their life the way they wanted to - after all, isnt that a positive thing? Change of Ownership of the Poem : The Dash For those still living, it’s a reminder how we wish to spend our life. It resonates when reflecting on life as that dash looks quite small doesn’t it, but when reflecting on that person’s life, that dash can represent so much. It’s a poem about the little dash symbol, often seen on funeral order of service pamphlets or on gravestones, between the date of the person’s date of birth and date of their death. When searching for suitable grief words for a funeral or memorial service, many turn to a reading entitled ‘The Dash’.

Add in a dangerous rage mode - which will turn the screen red and give your giant prey a frightening burst of speed and agility - and there’s plenty of to keep you on your toes. With these characters spread across each area, you can interchange the members of your squad once you’ve worked out which ones work best with each Titan. You’ll need to make good use of your AI-controlled squadmates (you can have up to four fighting alongside you), and each one has a unique ability that can be unleashed in battle. Not only are these myriad Titan types more authentic to the original manga and anime, they also require far more tactical prowess to bring them down. With a simple press of ‘R’ you can lock and flick between body parts, using ‘X’ to attach your ODM and zoom in, hitting ‘X’ again as you strike to deal plenty of damage. There’s a greater variety of types to contend with now, and each one has its own weak spots and areas to avoid. Talking of Titans, those mean ol’ giants have been given something of an update since the first game. There’s also the added need to monitor and replenish your gas (which powers your ODM) and the sharpness of your blades, which feeds in an extra dimension of tactics when facing down those Titans. The movement can take a little getting used to, especially with a camera system that often takes too long to correct itself (usually when fighting in the confines of a busy street or building complex), but once you’ve nailed the mechanics it's truly exhilarating as you traverse long distances in a manner not too dissimilar to web-slinging of The Amazing Spider-Man. ![]() With its focus on melee combat (you’ll always be armed with a pair of swords for some up close and personal butchery), the ODM enables you to swing around buildings, escape danger at a moment’s notice and zone in on those titular giants that keep invading your home and eating people. The ODM (or Omni-Directional Mobility gear, if you'd prefer) - a pair of waist-mounted grappling hook launchers - have been noticeably tweaked since the first game, and a simple press of ‘Y’ will attach them to any nearby buildings, trees or Titans, launching you into the air like a catapult. The big difference between the two is verticality, and it’s here that this sequel confidently sets itself apart. Both series task you with taking down giant beasts, targeting body parts and using the resources dropped to build stronger and downright nasty new weapons. It’s impossible to say anything about Attack on Titan 2 without discussing its similarity to Capcom’s world-dominating franchise. The result is as action-packed Monster Hunter-aping romp that’s true to its smash hit licence, but one that’s so authentic it sometimes leaves you feeling like an outsider, looking in.Īnd yes, we said the ‘M’ word. Attack On Titan 2 does just that, sticking rigidly to the story of the dystopian show’s first two seasons. ![]() Fans aren’t just clamouring for stories set in those familiar worlds they want the stories from those hallowed vaults, rebuilt in interactive form in all their polygonal glory. If the recent barrage of Dragon Ball games has taught us anything, it’s that games based on popular anime/manga are at their very best when they embrace their source material with the passion of an obsessive cosplayer. ![]() He discovered a link between the elements' atomic masses and their physical and chemical qualities, as well as a periodic recurring trend with comparable physical and chemical attributes. He began his investigation with just 63 known elements. Mendeleev's Periodic Table: In 1869, Russian scientist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev developed a Periodic rule. As a result, the remaining components and their attributes did not adhere to the law of octaves. When Newland issued this legislation, there were only 56 elements in nature, but since then, many elements have been found. The disadvantages of the octaves law are that it is only relevant up to Ca, and after Ca, every eighth element does not have attributes identical to the first. As a result, it is known as Newland's Law of Octaves. He linked these parallels to musical octaves. He found a pattern in every eighth element that had qualities identical to the first one. The Law of Octaves by Newland: In 1866, John Newlands, an English chemist, organized the 56 known elements in order of increasing atomic mass, beginning with hydrogen and ending with thorium. The disadvantages of Dobereiner's Triads were that these were inapplicable to elements with extremely high and low atomic masses, and this categorization was not applicable to all of the elements. Na, the middle element in this triangle, has an atomic mass of 22.99. As a result, these groupings are known as 'triads.' For example, Li has an atomic mass of 6.94, while K has an atomic mass of 39.10. He demonstrated that three elements might be arranged in a triad so that the atomic mass of the middle element is about equal to the average of the atomic masses of the other two elements. The Origins of Periodic Classificationĭobereiner's Triads: In 1817, Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner, a German scientist, attempted to organize substances having similar characteristics into groups. Scientists are looking for a systematic technique to rearrange and organize knowledge by categorizing it in order to solve this dilemma. ![]() As a result, studying the chemistry of all the different elements is extremely challenging. In the beginning, just 31 elements were known, but currently, 118 elements are known. Elements’ Positions in the Modern Periodic TableĬhemical periodicity has been described as the characteristics of elements showing a pattern and recurring variation with increasing atomic number.Figure 2.24 “Electron Affinity on the Periodic Table.” Values are in kJ/mol. However, the general trend going across the periodic table should be obvious. The trend isn’t absolute, especially considering the large positive EA values for the second column. Figure 2.24 “Electron Affinity on the Periodic Table” shows EA values versus position on the periodic table for the s– and p-block elements. There is not a definitive trend as you go down the periodic table sometimes EA increases, sometimes it decreases. Where Z is the nuclear charge (equal to the number of protons), and S is the screening constant which can be approximated to the number of non-valence or “core” electrons.įor example: try to approximate the effective nuclear charge of magnesium.įirst, we must determine the electron configuration of magnesium to determine the number of core electrons: The effective nuclear charge is always less than the actual nuclear charge, and can be roughly estimated using the following equation: This net nuclear charge felt by valence electrons is known as its effective nuclear charge, Z eff (pronounced “z-effective”). Valence electrons are simultaneously attracted to the positive charge of the nucleus and screened (repelled) by the negative charges of other electrons. Many of the periodic properties of atoms depend on electron configuration in particular, the valence electrons and their level of attraction to the nucleus. There may be a few points where an opposite trend is seen, but there is an overall trend when considered across a whole row or down a whole column of the periodic table. There is no other tool in science that allows us to judge relative properties of a class of objects like this, which makes the periodic table a very useful tool. The variation of properties versus position on the periodic table is called periodic trends. One of the reasons the periodic table is so useful is because its structure allows us to qualitatively determine how some properties of the elements vary versus their position on the periodic table. Be able to state how certain properties of atoms vary based on their relative position on the periodic table. ![]() Life Saver Pool Fence of Nevada is the most trusted name in pool fencing.

On the other hand, if you’re a loyal Gap or J.Crew or Anthropologie lover, try those brands on ThredUp – you’ll know what their sizing means and you’ll have a good feel for their style and fit. If Banana Republic clothing never fits or flatters you when you buy it new, it’s very unlikely to start magically fitting when it’s secondhand. I’ve bought some amazing pairs of shoes on there that look brand-new. The thing I look at most often is shoes because I know exactly what size I am, and shoes aren’t as tricky to figure out online as other items. Their inventory turns over all the time and they have so MUCH inventory that you never know what might pop up. I don’t look every single day, but I probably browse through a couple of times a week. ![]() You know how some people unwind for the day by looking at Facebook for twenty minutes? That’s what I do with ThredUp. On the other hand, as a business owner myself, I understand that shipping isn’t free (even if Amazon wants to make us all think it is) and that restocking things all has a cost.Įven with the restocking fee, I’ll still be shopping at thredUP, but I’ll definitely be less likely to take a risk on something I’m not sure about and I’ll be more conservative about the size of my orders.Īnyway! With all of those disclaimers aside and with more experience with thredUP shopping than I should probably admit to, here are my secrets: My Best Tricks for Scoring Deals on ThredUp I personally think it’s not the best business decision, since I think it makes most people less likely to pull the trigger on making a purchase at all or take a chance on something that they might like but aren’t sure about. ![]() Then, as of August 28, 2018, the thredUP restocking fee was made permanent, so now for any item under $50 you return, you’ll receive the full amount back in cash or credit, minus $3.99 per item. It was completely random who was given which return charge, so eventually I did see a return show up with those restocking fees. One third of returns were charged no restocking fee, one third were charged 99 cents per item that they returned and one third were charged $1.99 per item returned if those items were under $50. I sent an email to one of the team members I’ve worked with and asked about the restocking fee and she told me that it was a test. They started testing it in Summer of 2018 – I didn’t see the thredUP restocking fee for a while, but I started getting comments on this post about it, plus some emails. One caveat about shopping with thredUP is that they now charge a restocking fee. There are, as usual, some affiliate links, plus if you make your first purchase on ThredUp through my link, you’ll get 45% off your first order plus free shipping.
