The player must decide which actions to take based on a wide variety of criteria-each enemy is assigned one of eight different personality types, and transforming Chou-Chou into the same type offers an immediate affinity boost. Each time her turn comes up she can charm anyone within her attack range by choosing from three menus of different flirting techniques. 'Moe Killing' is how the game allows the player to use Chou-Chou's flirtiness to instantly defeat foes. Two elements separate Mugen Souls from the average JRPG combat experience-the Moe Kill system, and just how largely character placement fits into the proceedings. Each turn-based battle takes place in a small arena, with the player being free to move their characters around and attack within a certain radius. On the upside, the game's combat engine is both fascinating and surprisingly deep. The only option is to guess a random amount of gold-with a forced fight being the punishment for any wrong guesses. It's this last one that causes problems, as most of the items whose price the player is asked to match aren't available for purchase until long after that area has already been cleared. To woo the various key spots on the planet, players are required to either flirt using a specific personality type, to have defeated a certain number of monsters, or to make an offering of gold equal to the price of a certain item or weapon. It's a cute idea, but hampered by some bad game design. The one additional task posed to players is to flirt with the map itself, and thereby convince it to move closer to the next map, allowing movement between them. Other than moving from one scripted plot sequence to the next (all helpfully noted on the in-game map), there's nothing to actually do-I played through the game twice and didn't see the barest hint of a sidequest anywhere. There are no secrets to discover, or rewards for exploration, just respawning monsters that wander around aimlessly while looking to pick a fight. Each one is broken up into three maps that are almost entirely linear. Mugen Souls's greatest strength is probably the fact that the storyline is presented in such a breezy and upbeat fashion that it's almost possible to completely overlook all of the creepy things going on in the text.Īfter descending to one of the planets, I was disappointed to discover how stripped-down the game is from a content point of view. (Note: none of what I just wrote is a joke.) It was then that I realized I would have to reset all of my definitions for craziness.Ī brisk and wacky JRPG, Mugen Souls follows Chou-Chou on her journey to bring seven planets (each one representing a stereotypical video game setting) under her rule, gathering teammates as she goes by using her powers of transformation to better conform to her subject's fetishes. How does she intend to go about this? By flirting with them! Then I booted up Mugen Souls and discovered that I was going to be playing as Chou-Chou, a god not simply satisfied with having created the various worlds of a galaxy, but who also wants the denizens of those worlds to bow before her awesome perfection. I even began to accept that as I started each new game, I was inevitably going to be submerged in strangeness. I had gotten used to it for the most part. I thought my experience with Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs) had inured me to their flights of fancy-the bizarre plots, the random settings, the excessively sexualized female characters. LOW Do "something" do get a better ending? What does that mean?! HIGH Charming an entire group of enemies at once, turning them all into adorable bunny creatures!

![]() Like the Japanese abacus (which was based on the Chinese abacus), it has two decks of beads. The abacus pictured above is a Chinese abacus. The Japanese abacus has two decks of beads on each wire-one rank contains four beads, and the other a single bead. The abaci used in many Western classrooms generally have 10 beads on each wire. A Russian abacus has ten beads on each wire, with one or two wires containing four beads in order to calculate quarter ruble and quarter kopek quantities. Most abaci consist of a wooden frame which contains several rows of beads strung on stiff wires. While there are many different kinds of abaci, which come from diverse parts of the world, the general form remains relatively constant. They were probably initially developed by merchants in Asia or the Middle East in order to speed transactions along, and are still commonly taught and used in some parts of the world. ![]() Abaci are designed to mechanize the processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in order to quickly perform arithmetic with few errors. Of course, now I have to figure out how to use the damn thing.Īn abacus is a kind of calculator, similar to the four function calculators that are used in many elementary school classrooms. In this spirit, I recently picked up an abacus. I think there is value in learning to use tools that are now obsolete, but which were once vital. While I eventually moved away from the social sciences and into mathematics, I still have an abiding interest in archaeology, and often think like an archaeologist.įor instance, I am fascinated by material culture-I love the various things that people use in order to carry their daily tasks. In fact, I nearly completed a bachelor’s program in anthropology, and I spent several summers working for the BLM and Forest Service conducting archaeological survey and excavation. There was a time when I thought I was going to be an archaeologist. ![]() Dell may impose a purchase quantity limit (for example, 5 units per order).

Triangular Prism Volume Formula The volume of a triangular prism can be found by multiplying the base times the height. S 1, S 2, and S 3 are the three sides of the base triangle Using the formulas for the volume of triangular prism and cube to solve some solid geometry problems. According to the volume of triangular prism formula, V B x h By substituting the values, V 12 x 6 V 72 (cm3) So, the volume of the triangular prism is 72 cubic centimeters. Lateral Surface area is the surface area of the prism without the triangular base areas. Example 2: Determine the volume of a triangular prism in which the base of the triangle is 8 inches, the height is 6 inches and the length of the prism is 12 inches. It is the sum of all the areas of the vertical faces. Thus, the lateral surface area of a triangular prism is: The base area of a triangular prism is equal to half of the product of the triangular base and its altitude. Formula V (1/2) × b × h × l where, b is the triangular base, h is the altitude of the prism, l is the length of prism. Lateral Surface Area = (S 1 + S 2 + S 3 ) × LĪ right triangular prism has two parallel and congruent triangular faces and three rectangular faces that are perpendicular to the triangular faces.Īrea of the two base triangles = 2 × (1/2 × base of the triangle × height of the triangle) which simplifies to 'base × height' (bh). Thus, adding all the areas, the total surface area of a right triangular prism is given by, Lateral surface area is the product of the length of the prism and the perimeter of the base triangle = (S 1 + S 2 + h) × l. The surface area of the prism is 2 0 4 u n i t .S 1 and S 2 are the three sides of the base triangleĪlso Read: Angle Sum Property of QuadrilateralĪ right triangular prism with equilateral bases and square sides is called a uniform triangular prism. Where □ and □ are its two parallel sides and ℎ its height. Let us work out the area of the base of the prism. We can of course work out the area of each rectangular face individually and sum up all together we find the same result. Its area is given by multiplying its length by its width. We clearly see on the net that they form a large rectangle of length the perimeter of the base and width the height of the prism, The lateral surface area of the prism is the area of all its rectangular faces that join the two bases. Rectangle whose dimensions are the height of the prism and the perimeter of the prism’s base. The surface area of a prism: on the net of a prism, all its lateral faces form a large In the previous example, we have found an important result that can be used when we work out The surface area of the prism is 7 6 u n i t . t o t a l b a s e l a t e r a l u n i t To find the total surface area of the prism, we simply need to add two times the area of theīase (because there are two bases) to the lateral area. We do find the same area however we compose rectangles to make the base. We can of course check that we find the same area with adding the area of two rectangles Or as the rectangle of length 5 and width 4 from which the rectangle of length The base can be seen as made of two rectangles, We need to find the area of the two bases. ![]() ![]() Prism, which is given by multiplying its length by its width: ![]() Now, we can work out the area of the large rectangle formed by all the lateral faces of the The missing lengths can be easily found given that all angles in the bases are right angles. The width of the rectangle formed by all lateral faces is actually the perimeter of the base. Where □ and □ are the two missing sides of the base of the prism. They form a large rectangle of length 3 and width We see that all the rectangles have the same length: it is the height of the prism, On the net, the rectangular faces between the two bases are clearly to be seen. ![]() ![]() Yet, HCPs do not receive adequate communication skills training and report feeling unprepared for difficult conversations with patients.

The Catholic Faith is more than just reading stories and dogma. Together, these three resources provide an excellent foundation and explanation of the Catholic Faith. It is friendly for teens and those new to the Faith as it also offers sidebars with quotes and definitions. The YouCat returns to the question and answer format referencing specific paragraphs from the Catechism. The USCCB’s publication is an adaptation of the Catechism and includes in each chapter a story/lesson of faith, the teaching, relationship of the teaching to culture, doctrinal statements, and a meditation and prayer. To make the Catechism more approachable, I suggest the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults (published by the USCCB and recognized as a “definitive text”) and/or the YouCat(which has the nihil obstat and imprimatur). It can be read cover to cover and probably should be. It is divided into four parts: what we believe, sacraments, life in Christ, and prayer. The updated version dispenses with that format in favor of paragraphs. The Baltimore Catechism of the pre-Vatican II era has a question and answer format and, while difficult to find, is an excellent resource. ![]() The Catechism is what I lovingly refer to as the rulebook. This, together with the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: New Testament-which has fantastic explanatory notes, cross-references, and a concordance-will have any one who is new to the Bible in a good place. Also included is a reading plan to help you get the main meat of it in ninety days. When broken down like this, the Bible’s story becomes clear. Joshua, Judges, and the beginning of 1 Samuel tell about the Conquest & Judges period. It then explains which books of the Bible tell the story of each period and which books are supplemental.įor example, the Early World and Patriarchs time periods are covered in Genesis with Job as a supplement. It breaks salvation history into twelve periods: The Great Adventure Catholic Bible makes reading and understanding the overarching story of salvation easy. ![]() (According to The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Church recognizes the New Revised Standard Version – 2nd Catholic Edition and the New American Bible-Revised Edition as the gold standards.) To solve that, Jeff Cavins and the good people at Ascension Press came up with The Great Adventure Catholic Bible. When a reader gets to Leviticus, the story goes from being a grand journey to a book of laws that feels remote. The Bible is a challenging tome in that it doesn’t lend itself to starting on page one and slogging through to the end. “Hmmm, very nice,” replies the Creator of the Universe. There’s a joke that tells of a person who greets God at the pearly gates and is asked what he enjoyed while on earth. How could I lead with anything else? It can be read over and over and the reader gets new insights every time. ![]() If you, like me, are a devoted reader, here is a list of thirteen books I consider absolutely necessary for the journey of faith. Maybe heaven has a library …įor now I am constrained by time. The array of available Catholic books is vast and I wish I could hit pause on my life, curl up on my patio, and read for eleven years.

I still have the weird wrinkling at the corners of my mouth, which is probably not what you'd like to hear. I am conducting an experiment, using this technique with the hoped for end result of lightening the scar to the point of non-existence. The scar has lightened to the degree that people don't notice it unless they look closely. I have been using this technique for 2 years with success. If I can't avoid windows, I put my special band aid on. In the winter I keep my face covered with a thick scarf and avoid windows. Hi Salpeaks, I have been covering my hyperpigmentation with a piece of vinyl and a band aid in the summer and near windows in order to lighten the pigmentation. Well, I'll let you know if I meet with success. There have been times that I couldn't protect my skin in the sun and the damage wasn't too bad (a 20 minute swim in a lake), and a few 15 minute conversations outdoors during day light hours, that is in the whole year. Probably not what you want to hear, but I still have hope that I can fade my skin enough so that the scar won't come back. I am still sticking it out so that at least I can present a dignified appearance at work. With the scar I face ridicule and without the dark hyper pigmentation I face ridicule for my methods of protection. So, although I get great results with my special band aid and keeping the windows covered, I have had to receive insult to injury. Because they don't see a pronounced scar (thanks to my diligent efforts to protect it), they don't understand that without these measures, the re-darkening will occur. I have been ridiculed and called crazy and obsessive by "friends" and family who complain about me keeping the windows covered when I'm in the room. Thank you for acknowledging my braveness. All of his methods are high risk for further scarring and even disasterous scarring (ochrinosis or blackening and death of the skin). Oh and yes, I am still using my "special band aid." Sadly my dermatologist recommends this over any treatments because it is the safest way to temporarily lighten the scar. ![]() Software File Name: PhotoStage-10.45.rar.Software Name: PhotoStage Professional for Windows.Preview feature with many other powerful features.Create DVD movie or data disc from the presentations.Share files on different social media websites or save the clips.Redo and undo functionality with other customizations.Add black, white, sepia, negative, and oil painting effects.Shuffle clips and save the current frame as an image.Fade, reveal, circle, wipe, heart, and diamond transitions.Add background audio with a specific length.Adjust speed and duration of the slideshows.Adjust brightness and crop, rotate, zoom the slideshows.Drag and drop support for adding media files.Create slideshows using different images, videos and audio files.Intuitive user interface with straightforward options and different customizations.Powerful application for creating professional slideshows. ![]() All in all, it is a very reliable application by NCH Software for creating professional-looking slideshows from images, videos and audio files.
