![]() ![]() That pushed the jackpot even higher, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Multi-State Lottery Association. Tickets sold at a rate of 130,000 a minute nationwide - about six times the volume from a week ago. The $587.5 million payout represents the second-largest jackpot in U.S. The numbers drawn Wednesday night were 5, 16, 22, 23, 29. Winners in both states have 180 days to claim their share of the prize money. "That's nice, especially at this time of year." "The response from the owner was, 'I guess we'll be able to give out Christmas bonuses,'" Gilbert said. Kenny Gilbert, the general manager of Trex Mart, suggested his staff would be sharing in the $50,000 bounty that the store will be awarded for selling one of the winning tickets. "This really puts Dearborn on the map," he said. Store manager Chris Naurez said business had been "crazy" for Powerball tickets lately and that the store had sold about $27,000 worth of tickets in the last few days. "Even the truck drivers who come around, we see them every day, so they all feel like all locals to us," he said. Interstate 29 connects Kansas City to the Canadian border, so it's a busy thoroughfare in both directions. The store was swept up in a nationwide ticket-buying spree preceding Wednesday's drawing, with the big money enticing many people who rarely, if ever, play the lottery to buy a shot at the payout.Ĭlerks at 4 Sons sold 986 Powerball tickets Wednesday, which Chebat said was well above average.īaron Hartell, son of the owner of the Missouri store, said if the winner isn't a local resident it might have been a truck driver. "I'm glad that all that work yesterday wasn't for nothing." "I think it's crazy, and I also think it's great," said Bob Chebat, who manages the 4 Sons. Customers poured into the store, to check their tickets and share in the big moment. The winning ticket sold in Arizona was purchased at a 4 Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills near Phoenix, state lottery officials said. He said the only other local lottery win he could remember was when an area farmer won about $100,000 in scratch-off game years ago "and bought himself a combine." "When I heard it was sold here in Dearborn I about fell over," Bryan said, as he hung Christmas lights outside his mother's home. Kevin Bryan bought his ticket at the Trex Mart and made an extra trip to his mother's home in Dearborn to verify that the ticket he left on her counter wasn't, in fact, the winner. "It's a small town where everyone is really nice." "I think it's wonderful! I hope someone local won it, not someone just passing through," she said. Karen Meyers, a server at the Cook's Corner Cafe, where the daily special was roast beef and potatoes, said she didn't believe it at first when she heard the winning ticket had been sold nearby. No one had come forward to claim the prize by late Thursday morning, Missouri Lottery officials said. Speculation had many of Dearborn's 500 residents buzzing about who had won.Ĭashiers Kristi Williams and Kelly Blount greeted customers with big smiles and questions about whether they had bought the winning ticket. ![]()

![]() It was and is through their suffering that the obscene concentrations of wealth we see in those societies came about and continue to perpetuate themselves. When you treat the modern, developed West as the logical endpoint for any successful society, you do a disservice to the victims of colonialism. Why can't I build a society that looks like that? Why does "progress" always have to look like concrete apartment blocks and 5000 TV channels full of corporate advertising and row after row of smog-belching refineries? It speaks to a troubling worldview if we say that one way is universally better, or more "advanced" than the other. The indigenous nations in what are now the Pacific Northwestern United States knew how to cultivate salmon runs that produced more high-quality protein per square meter-with far less labor, pollution, and ecological disruption!-than the best farming techniques of the European settlers that displaced them. Maybe I don't even need to build factories. I'd love to see a Civ game that acknowledges this, and allows me to build a non-imperialist society that takes good care of its land and its people, values sustainability over pure productivity, and preserves its sovereignty against imperialist powers. "That is totally not in concert with our traditional ways and world view." ![]() "It perpetuates this myth that First Nations had similar values that the colonial culture has, and that is one of conquering other peoples and accessing their land," Headman Milton Tootoosis said. ![]() The emphasis on the destination distracts from the journey. Everything from the dawn of my civilization to the very end is in pursuit of launching a rocket, or conquering the world, or making everyone buy my blue jeans. It no longer feels like I have the freedom to build whatever kind of society I want. This might be good for competitive players, but it takes some of the feeling of "roleplaying history" out of the series. Let me set my own goalsĬiv 5 and 6 represent a departure from their forebears by evoking neatly-packaged board games focused on bespoke win conditions that everyone is racing toward. So here's how Firaxis can keep Civ relevant. But as our standards for historical strategy games change, and new devs and players come onto the scene to mix things up, I think this would be a major missed opportunity. Firaxis could probably keep doing what it's doing and skate along for another decade or more. Civ 6's DLC has been well received, and the series maintains a large, dedicated fanbase. I may be making the situation sound gloomier than it probably is. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, from 2000 to 2006 the American Red Cross withheld its dues (a total of $42 million) to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) because of its refusal to admit MDA this ultimately led to the creation of the Red Crystal emblem and the admission of MDA on June 22, 2006. They reasoned that a proliferation of red symbols would detract from the original intention of the Red Cross emblem, which was to be a single emblem to mark vehicles and buildings protected on humanitarian grounds.Ĭertain Arab nations, such as Syria, also protested the entry of MDA into the Red Cross movement, making consensus impossible for a time. The Red Cross & Red Crescent movement repeatedly rejected Israel's request over the years, stating that the Red Cross emblem was not meant to represent Christianity but was a color reversal of the Swiss flag, and also that if Jews (or another group) were to be given another emblem, there would be no end to the number of religious or other groups claiming an emblem for themselves. This emblem is the one used by Magen David Adom (MDA), the national first-aid society of Israel, but it is still not recognized by the Geneva Conventions as a protected symbol. Unrecognized emblems The Red Star of David (Magen David Adom)įor over 50 years, Israel requested the addition of a Red Star of David, arguing that since Christian and Muslim emblems were recognized, the corresponding Jewish emblem should be as well. Though the Red Lion and Sun has now fallen into disuse, Iran has in the past reserved the right to take it up again at any time the Geneva Conventions continue to recognize it as an official emblem, and that status was confirmed by Protocol III even as it added the Red Crystal. In 1980, because of the association of the emblem with the Shah, the newly proclaimed Islamic Republic of Iran replaced the Red Lion and Sun with the Red Crescent, consistent with most other Muslim nations. Though that claim is inconsistent with the Red Crescent's history, that history also suggests that the Red Lion and Sun, like the Red Crescent, may have been conceived during the 1877-1878 war between Russia and Turkey. However, some report the symbol was introduced at Geneva in 1864 as a counter example to the crescent and cross used by two of Iran's rivals, the Ottoman and the Russian empires. The Red Lion and Sun Society of Iran was established in 1922 and admitted to the Red Cross & Red Crescent movement in 1923. Recognized emblems in disuse The Red Lion and Sun Įritrea has said it is planning to use the new symbol, because it has a mixture of Christians and Muslims in the country. As of 14 January 2007, Protocol III is in full effect, and the Red Crystal emblem is now fully recognized under the Geneva Conventions by the nations that have ratified the protocol. On 22 June 2006, along with its recognition of the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and Magen David Adom (MDA), the ICRC announced the formal adoption in its statutes of the Red Crystal as a third official symbol. Alternatively, the emblem can be used alone, which may be useful in areas where religious strife may lead to confusion over the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems. Societies that use other emblems may, with prior approval, use their own emblems alongside or inside the Red Crystal at present, the only such society is MDA. Societies can choose to use the Red Crystal emblem alongside the Red Cross and/or Red Crescent emblems, or as a border for a Red Cross or Red Crescent emblem. No country or national society is obliged to change their emblems, and none are obliged to use the new one but all are required to respect it in the same manner as the other emblems. The new emblem was designed to be easily recognizable and, to make it more universally acceptable throughout different cultures, devoid of religious connotation (contrasting the Red Cross and Red Crescent, which are often associated with Christianity and Islam, respectively). On December 8 2005, partly in response to growing pressure to accommodate MDA as a full member of the Red Cross & Red Crescent movement, a new emblem (officially the Third Protocol Emblem, but more commonly known as the Red Crystal) was adopted by an amendment of the Geneva Conventions known as Protocol III. ![]() ![]() If you haven't installed Decky Loader nor PowerTools yet, stay on Desktop Mode.Under CPU, change the setting to Accurate, then go to Graphics > Advanced and here enable Force maximum clocks.

Q: Do you know the nationality of the tanker they seized? KIRBY: The only seizing that was done was by Iran. That undermines freedom of navigation in the free flow of commerce.

This is the simplest type of crystal structure and is not associated with any of the materials used for engineering purposes. Therefore, the average number of atoms in a unit cell of a simple cubic structure is 1.Ĭontrary to the BCC and FCC (explained below), the simple cubic structure does not have any atom(s) present at the center of the cube or at the center of each of the faces of the cube. However, since each corner of the cube is shared between 8 other cubes in a 3-dimensional lattice, the total contribution of the combined 8 atoms to the reference unit cell is 8 (atoms) x 1/8 (contribution of each atom). Since a cube has 8 corners, there are 8 atoms present to be displayed in one unit cell. The simplest type of crystal structure has atoms present at each corner of a cube. The types of crystal structures are explained in terms of the cubic crystal system: 1. Concepts Berg Types of Crystal Structures.Crystal Systems – Reference to Crystal Structures.These lattice points are arranged in a three dimensionally ordered manner. These patterns are located upon the points of a lattice. In a crystal structure, there is a pattern of arranging the atoms or units.When a group of molecules tends to arrange each unit repeatedly at a lattice point, a crystal is made. Lattice describes the structure of crystals.What is the difference between Lattice and Crystal? Crystals have an aesthetic value, and it is believed to have healing properties thus, people use them to make jewelry. ![]() Crystals can have different shapes and colors. sodium chloride) and molecular crystals (e.g. Crystals can be categorized according to their physical and chemical properties. There are water-based crystals in the form of snow, ice or glaciers. For example, calcite is produced by mollusks. Crystals are formed by living organisms too. Crystals are naturally occurring on earth as large crystalline rocks, such as quartz, granite. The atoms, molecules, or ions in crystals are arranged in a particular manner, thus have a long-range order. Both of these covalent lattices have a very high melting point, and they cannot conduct electricity.Ĭrystals are solids, which have ordered structures and symmetry. (Diamond is known to be one of the strongest minerals.) Quartz or silicon dioxide also has covalent bonds, but they are between silicon and oxygen atoms (lattice of different atoms). Diamond, by forming a structure like this, has gained a high stability. Therefore, each carbon atom has the tetrahedral arrangement. Diamond is composed of only carbon atoms, and each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms to form the lattice structure. Normally lattice enthalpy is exothermic.ĭiamond and quartz are two examples for three-dimensional covalent lattices. Lattice energy or enthalpy of lattice is the measure of the strength of the ionic bonds in the lattice. The number of ions present in the lattice varies with the size of it. Due to all the attractions between ions, the lattice structure is more stable. In the lattice, each sodium ion is surrounded by six chloride ions, and each chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium ions. Chlorine is a nonmetal and has the ability to form a -1 charged anion. Sodium is a group 1 metal, thus forms a +1 charged cation. For example, sodium chloride can be taken. When ions joined with ionic bonds, they form ionic crystals. Lattices are crystalline structures with these repeated basic units. The basic unit can be an atom, molecule or an ion. It can be defined as a solid, which has a three- dimensional ordered arrangement of basic units. In chemistry, we can see different types of ionic and covalent lattices. These two words are interchangeably used, but there is a small difference between the two. Lattice and crystal are two words that go hand in hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is available online and in the classroom.

Thankfully, virtually all major parcel carriers allow you to reroute a package to another address for delivery – provided you make the request online and the parcel hasn’t been delivered yet. You Wrote the Wrong Address – This “oops” typically happens when you are in a hurry or you unwittingly transpose the numbers of an address.You Noticed a Scam – eBay, Poshmark, Etsy, and other users of central marketplaces sometimes recognize that they’ve shipped an erroneous order before the money has cleared and need to suspend the delivery.You’ll Be Out of Town – With the freedom to travel luring us away, balancing shipping schedules with vacation time is often challenging.You’ve Moved – You thought you filled out all the correct forms and made the necessary delivery changes, but invariably a package delivery is en route to your old shipping address.There are myriad reasons for needing to reroute a package. Whatever the reason, here’s how you can contact the major couriers to have your packages rerouted (in most cases). You might be going on vacation, or you recently moved and forgot to provide the correct address to the sender, or maybe the sender has the incorrect address. Rerouting a package can feel confusing, particularly when every carrier does it differently. ![]() ![]() ![]() The glow-in-the-dark stickers shine for a considerable amount of time, perhaps the whole night.
