![]() The certificate of exemption must be kept in the vehicle at all times.Installing window tints can be one of the best decisions you make. The exemption would become void if the vehicle is sold to another person. To apply for an exemption on medical grounds, the medical certificate must state that ‘the applicant or any other person is suffering from a medical condition listed in the Schedule which renders the person susceptible to harm or injury from exposure to sunlight’ and that the vehicle will be used regularly for transporting this person. Vehicles used to transport the President and Prime Minister are also exempt. Section 6 states a person ‘who is issued an exemption certificate on medical grounds’ would not be subject to window tint restrictions. It is also possible to apply for an exemption on medical grounds. Ambulances and funeral hearses are also exempt. The vehicles of some public officials and some state agencies are exempt from window tint restrictions, such as the Licensing Division, police service, fire service, prison service, defence force, Customs and Excise, Strategic Services Agency or protective service agency. ‘The reading of the light transmittance measuring device shall be deemed to be the visible light transmittance of the specified windscreen or window of the vehicle at the time of the alleged occurrence of the traffic violation, unless the owner, driver or operator of the vehicle proves that the visible light transmittance of the specified windscreen or window of the vehicle, exceeded the permissible percentage of the visible light transmittance at that time.’ This statement can also be used as evidence ‘in proceedings for a traffic violation under regulation 3 or 4’. Under the Regulations, the official measuring a vehicle’s window tint would issue a written statement showing the measurement along with the ‘regimental number, rank, name and signature of the constable who operated the device’. Under Section 4 (1) of the Regulations, vehicle owners may be liable to a $1,000 fine for any window tint or overlay which appears to ‘have a metallic, reflective or mirrored effect sufficient to dazzle motorists’.Īdditionally, Under Section 4 (2), vehicle drivers found with scratches, defects or ‘bubbling’ of window tints which impair the driver’s vision might result in a $1,000 fine. Information on the approved measurement device used will be published in the Gazette. The Regulations said a ‘margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points shall be allowed in relation to the measurement of the visible light transmittance of a windscreen or window’.

![]() The aim is to make each "patient zero" an unwitting carrier who will help spread and transport the weapon on flash drives into the protected facility and the Siemens computers. To get Stuxnet to its target machines, the attackers first infect computers belonging to five outside companies that are believed to be connected in some way to the nuclear program. So the attackers have designed their weapon to spread via infected USB flash drives. Because the computers are air-gapped from the internet, however, they cannot be reached directly by the remote attackers. Their weapon this time is designed to manipulate computer systems made by the German firm Siemens that control and monitor the speed of the centrifuges. They unleash it just as the enrichment plant is beginning to recover from the effects of the previous attack. As Iran prepares for its presidential elections, the attackers behind Stuxnet are also preparing their next assault on the enrichment plant with a new version of the malware. Uranium gas flows through the pipes into the centrifuges in a series of stages, becoming further "enriched" at each stage of the cascade as isotopes needed for a nuclear reaction are separated from other isotopes and become concentrated in the gas.Ĭountdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World’s First Digital WeaponĪs the excerpt begins, it's June 2009-a year or so since Stuxnet was first released, but still a year before the covert operation will be discovered and exposed. At the time of the attacks, each cascade at Natanz held 164 centrifuges. Centrifuges are large cylindrical tubes-connected by pipes in a configuration known as a "cascade"-that spin at supersonic speed to separate isotopes in uranium gas for use in nuclear power plants and weapons. An early version of the attack weapon manipulated valves on the centrifuges to increase the pressure inside them and damage the devices as well as the enrichment process. In this excerpt from the book, which will be released November 11, Stuxnet has already been at work silently sabotaging centrifuges at the Natanz plant for about a year. Rather than simply hijacking targeted computers or stealing information from them, it escaped the digital realm to wreak physical destruction on equipment the computers controlled.Ĭountdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon, written by WIRED senior staff writer Kim Zetter, tells the story behind Stuxnet's planning, execution and discovery. Stuxnet, as it came to be known, was unlike any other virus or worm that came before. That is, until the researchers found a handful of malicious files on one of the systems and discovered the world's first digital weapon. Again, the cause of the problem was a mystery. A computer security firm in Belarus was called in to troubleshoot a series of computers in Iran that were crashing and rebooting repeatedly. The cause was a complete mystery-apparently as much to the Iranian technicians replacing the centrifuges as to the inspectors observing them.įive months later a seemingly unrelated event occurred. In January 2010, inspectors with the International Atomic Energy Agency visiting the Natanz uranium enrichment plant in Iran noticed that centrifuges used to enrich uranium gas were failing at an unprecedented rate. ![]() ![]() Finding complementary angles is not difficult anymore!Ĭan we determine which one is a complementary angle and which one is not? Not so easily. Mathematically, if angle BXC plus angle CXD is equal to 90 degrees, they are complementary. Speak like this: angle BXC complements angle CXD and vice versa. When these angles are considered separately, they are referred to as complementary angles.Īs a result, angle BXC and angle CXD are complementary angles or complement each other. On the right-hand side, angles BXC and CXD make a right angle when joined together. On the left side, the angle AXB is a right angle, i.e., the value of angle AXB is equal to 90 degrees. The former is incorrect, while the latter is correct.Ĭonsider the figure as shown. Many make mistakes and spell complementary instead of complementary. Moreover, be careful while spelling the word. How fascinating is that!Īccording to Merriam Webster, the definition of the complementary angle is two angles that add up to 90 degrees. That is not what we want, right? Yet, the look-up popularity in Merriam Webster for complementary angles is top 7% of words. So it is clear why the right angle is known as a complete angle.ĭo you refer to Merriam Webster while looking for any definition of an unknown word or phrase? For example, while looking for complementary angles, one will see complementary air and complementary cell. More fascinating though is, cutting a slice of bread into two triangles will yield two right angles having a pair each of complementary angles. So, can we say a right angle is a complete angle? Think it over. The word complementary comes from a Latin word, completum, meaning completed. In other terms, angles making a right angle can be termed complementary angles. We have arrived at the point where we will define complementary angles? One common question in everyone’s mind – what are complementary angles? In that case, complementary angles are those whose sum is equal to 90 degrees. Complementary Angles: More than complementing angles So what exactly do complementary supplementary angles mean? Let us understand more about them. Complementary angles might be sounding like we are complementing an angle, right? But, no! The complementary angles definition is different when it is learned under Mathematics. Therefore, it is important to learn in-depth about complementary supplementary angles. While dealing with Mathematics, a normal brain will be confused in its initial stages about what complementary and supplementary angles are. ![]() ![]() They have been together for five weeks exactly when Fjord and Jester and Yasha are kidnapped. They have known each other for three weeks when Caleb tells Beau and Nott about the worst thing he’s ever done in his life for two weeks when they watch the Zauber Spire come crashing down and the world change for a week, when they’re proclaimed the heroes of Allfield and give themselves a nonsense name and decide that maybe there’s something to this mercenary business after all. Or: the Mighty Nein arrive in Hupperdook and throw themselves into a drinking competition party together on the one-month anniversary of meeting each other, to the day. Two weeks, and the whole first week of it is just dealing with the Trickfoots and jumping off of cliffs out of sheer boredom. Pike’s family swings through Whitestone while Keyleth and Vax are having a quick weekend trip to bother family and help out at the bakery, and sixteen days later–that’s it. It’s a whole ten days after that when Vax dies in the pit of a kraken’s stomach, and it’s all so fast. (Percy signs a contract with a devil a whole four weeks after he wakes up from Orthax’s private hell.) Vex dies twice in the space of six and a half weeks, and Percy dies twice in the space of a week and a half, and Scanlan dies twice in two days. Nine days between Percy’s resurrection and the Thordak battle. They get four weeks between Grog’s death and Percy’s. Three weeks after that, they bury Tiberius it has been eight weeks since they last saw him alive, and four and a half weeks since the Conclave descended, which means he lived less than a month after leaving them on the road to Whitestone.

Half of Tal’dorei is razed and then freed again in less time than it takes to get some things off of Amazon backorder.

There are less than four months between the night Vox Machina sits down for dinner in Emon with Lord and Lady Briarwood, and the morning Vex’ahlia returns Castle Whitestone with the severed hand of a Gray Render and the whole world fades to montage for a year. And then looking at date counts on Critrole Stats and just…thinking about it. I spend way too much time thinking about timelines in Critical Role, how fast everything happens (and even the cast doesn’t always realize). Saying the writers just suddenly realised/didn’t realise yet the POC women “stole” the show is doing them injustice. Every single part of it, every single character is relevant. Orange is the New Black is brilliant writing. Janae, Tucky, Flores, even Alex (though she deserves most of what she gets) are a few of the women who have suffered solely because of Piper’s selfishness, insensitivity and self-righteousness. She may care about others, but for the most part she’s oblivious to the injustice done to others and the privileges she herself enjoys and her being oblivious has serious consequences for others. And while she thinks of herself as educated, she lacks immensely in awareness of the world around her. But she’s also much more selfish than she thinks she is. She thinks of herself as a good person who cares about others. Piper is a mirror held to that section of the audience that enjoys the same privileges she does. But she’s also white, upper class and educated. You can never dismiss the injustice of what happens to the others by saying “well they’re criminals”, because Piper is there to show that they don’t all get treated the same way. Piper does have an important role in the show though. But their actual story was always about the other women in the show. That’s how they got the show accepted by producers and audiences alike, by telling them it’s a fish out of water story about a nice educated white lady. The writers said Piper was their trojan horse. ![]() I know the md5 algo is weak compared to sha-2, or sha-3, but ‘md5’ is still better than ‘password’.

It is the perfect first step for the beginners to enjoy the painting artwork. Painting By Numbers kit is an ideal introduction to the pleasures of painting, regardless of experience or age. For example, using a warm pinkish-red colour underneath a winter cool blue/purple scene will add warmth to an otherwise cold-looking image.Plants Oil Paint By Numbers Kits Canvas Picture Wall Art DIY Craft Coloring Drawing Home Decoration Gift for Adults Children No Frame Another example would be to use a green colour for the ground of a painting consisting of many bright red poppies (the red poppies will look brighter against a green ground).Īnother method is to use the opposite temperature of your intended painting. An example would be using a peachy colour for a base of an underwater scene (the orangey-peach complements the upcoming blue tones of the painting). This will promote balance and will increase the perceived intensity and saturation of your colours. Generally, using the complementary colour to the main colour of your intended painting is a good idea. Really, though, the choice of a ground colour depends on what you’re painting and how you want your painting to feel. That depends on you! …actually, wait, there is one true answer: anything but white! Well, this question really has no true answer. What is the best colour to use as a ground? ![]() Especially if you’re painting an abstract, the ground could simply be the initial layer of your paint, as long as it’s applied with the intention of fully covering the white canvas before the next layer is started. Tip: Your ground doesn’t always have to be a flat colour. Related Post: How to Mix Skin Tones with Acrylics (+ a Secret Hack!) This means that as you’re gliding your paint across the canvas, it will not be thick enough to fully cover the texture bumps of the canvas, and that stark white will shine through your paint, giving it an amateur, unfinished look! It will take many layers of paint to fully cover this glaring white, leading to frustrations and bad colour choices. We also generally start painting with thinner paints and work our way up to thicker applications. Your poor paint colours have no chance competing against that bright stark white! This is the exact reason we shouldn’t start a new painting on a white ground! White is incredibly bright – it will alter the perception of the colours you put on the canvas…making colours seem duller than they really are. It is the brightest, purest colour you will put on your canvas, and we generally save our pure white for the very last step to add that pop of brightness. In acrylic and oil painting, white is the highlight colour. ![]() The problem, however, lies in this: White is the worst colour on which to start painting. This is all well and good, because cheaper costs mean a cheaper price for us as artists to buy our canvases. It is also the least expensive colour to use as a ground, and simply making all canvases have white grounds is much cheaper than making canvases available in a variety of colours. This is due to a couple reasons: these canvases are always primed, ready to accept paint, and the most popular colour of gesso is white. All purchased stretched canvases have a white ground. A ground is simply the initial flat colour of your canvas before you begin your actual painting. ![]() Should you encounter a problem with enrollment, call an IBC representative at 1-21.
