Proton charge and electron charge12/7/2023 They all appear in the far-right column of the periodic table: helium, neon, argon, etc. Elements that have a full outer shell are inert in that they do not react with other elements to form compounds. The electrons in the outermost shell play an important role in bonding between atoms. Subsequent shells can hold more electrons, but the outermost shell of any atom holds no more than eight electrons. In other words, a helium atom’s electron cloud is about 100,000 times bigger than its nucleus.Įlectrons orbiting around the nucleus of an atom are arranged in shells - also known as “energy levels.” The first shell can hold only two electrons, while the next shell holds up to eight electrons. The darker the shade, the more likely that an electron will be there. The dot in the middle is the nucleus, and the surrounding cloud represents where the two electrons might be at any time. Its atomic number is 92 and its atomic mass is 238 (92 + 146). The most common isotope of uranium has 92 protons and 146 neutrons. Its atomic number is 14 and its atomic mass is 28. For example, silicon has 14 protons and 14 neutrons. For most of the remaining elements, there are more neutrons than protons, because extra neutrons are needed to keep the nucleus together by overcoming the mutual repulsion of the increasing numbers of protons concentrated in a very small space. For helium, it is 4: two protons and two neutrons.įor most of the 16 lightest elements (up to oxygen) the number of neutrons is equal to the number of protons. For hydrogen, the atomic mass is 1 because there is one proton and no neutrons. The number of protons is the atomic number, and the number of protons plus neutrons is the atomic mass. The positively charged protons tend to repel each other, and the neutrons help to hold the nucleus together. All other elements have neutrons as well as protons in their nucleus, such as helium, which is depicted in Figure 2.2. The proton forms the nucleus, while the electron orbits around it. The element hydrogen has the simplest atoms, each with just one proton and one electron. Table 2.1 Charges and masses of the particles within atoms Elementary Particle Both protons and neutrons have a mass of 1, while electrons have almost no mass. The negative charge of one electron balances the positive charge of one proton. As summarized in Table 2.1, protons are positively charged, neutrons are uncharged and electrons are negatively charged. 9 2.1 Electrons, Protons, Neutrons, and AtomsĪll matter, including mineral crystals, is made up of atoms, and all atoms are made up of three main particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.

How Long Do West African Cichlids Live For? Hap species need to be chosen carefully to avoid fighting but can typically live for around 7-10 years when well cared for in a suitable aquarium environment. Popular species include Electric Blue Hap (or Electric Blue Cichlid), Blue Dolphin Cichlid, Tangerine Tiger Cichlid, and Venustus (also known as Giraffe Cichlid). Haplochromis, or “Haps” as they are commonly known, are the largest genera of Cichlids, with many species residing in Lake Malawi and Lake Victoria. The Lemon Cichlid (life expectancy of 8 years), Fairy Cichlid (life expectancy of 8-10 years), Daffodil Cichlid (life expectancy of 8-10 years), Frontosa Cichlid (life expectancy 8-10 years), and the Blue Goby Cichlid (life expectancy 3-5 years). Ranging in size from 2 inches to over a foot long, the most popular aquarium species of this diverse group include: There are more than 150 different species of cichlid hailing from Lake Tanganyika, the second-deepest lake on our planet. Like their cousins, the mbunas, Peacock Cichlids tend to live for between 8-10 years, but it has been known for specimens to exceed 15 years on rare occasions! How Long Do Lake Tanganyika Cichlids Live For? Popular species include Butterfly Peacock Cichlid, Blue Peacock Cichlids, Sunshine Peacock Cichlid, and Dragonblood Peacock Cichlid. How Long Do Peacock Cichlids Live For?Īlso from Lake Malawi, Peacock Cichlids are an incredibly striking type of African cichlid. When given hard, alkaline water and a healthy tank environment, mbunas typically live for 8-10 years. Some of the most famous species include the Livingstonii Cichlid, Bumblebee Cichlid, Auratus Cichlid, Electric Yellow Cichlids, and Yellow Lab Cichlid. Mbuna cichlids are a popular group of cichlids from Lake Malawi. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular varieties. Species from other parts of Africa are more genetically diverse and can vary in age considerably. But, of course, there is some variation between species. African CichlidsĪfrican Cichlids are simply members of the Cichlidae family that are native to the African continent.Īlthough most of them hail from the East African lakes of Lake Malawi, Lake Victoria, and Lake Tanganyika, there are also a few from other parts of Africa, such as the glorious Jewel Cichlids and Kribensis from West Africa.Īfrican Cichlids from the Great Lakes usually live for around 7-10 years when treated well in an appropriate environment. If there were a dating website for fish, Cichlids would have a great profile!īut are cichlids so lucky when it comes to longevity? While their lifespans vary considerably, most cichlid species will live between 5-10 years in captivity when treated well.īut since there’s so much variation, let’s take a closer look at the different lifespans of the most popular types of cichlids and what you can do to help your fish live for as long as possible.

When one cow gives birth to a mutated calf, born with parasitic fetuses of her own, the place becomes ground zero for a terrifying bid not only to survive but to prevent the parasitic contagion from getting out into the populace. This Irish horror feature by writer/director Billy O’Brien takes place on a rural farm where a bio-genetics experiment is well underway with the cows. Isolation – AMC+, Crackle, freevee, Shudder, Tubi As such, The Deadly Spawn is far from the most obscure title, but that devout following still could grow even more prominent in the coming years.

Travellers rest motel12/7/2023 I don't suppose anyone from Booking.Com or Trip Adviser will read this about the safety issues as above nor act upon it. A terrace, barbecue grills, and an arcade/game room are. Definitely no rest at The Travellers Rest, would never go back again, other paying customers that we talked to were also very unhappy, on arrival one lady told us we missed the two fights outside the night before. Event space at this motel measures 91 square feet (3 square meters) and includes a conference center. Impossible to social distance, and didn’t seem to matter anyway. Next is, at the back of the Motel there are 4 large Static caravans hidden ( squashed) very close together, 3 occupied as sky lights lit at night and we could hear foreign conversations, if one of these caught fire they all would burn, and no one would get out of the upstairs Motel rooms, as there is NO FIRE ESCAPE from the rooms, one way in same way out. Safety issues:- Poor shower system, every time someone flushed a toilet or ran the cold water in the building the shower became scalding, not good for us, never mind children. The Management were very noisy, constantly slamming doors, thumping up and down the corridors, The Manageress was Screaming & shouting using foul language, arguing, constantly from when we returned back, from 21.30 to 3.00 am in the morning, Constant noise outside our side window as it was used by management & others as a smoking & a Video phone point, so our windows were closed 24/7.

Comodo firewall linux mint12/7/2023 But i should be able to turn off the service nativily. But I found the app called winpatrol which might let me do that. And nowdays the antivirus makes it so you can't turn the service to manual. I would use an antivirus if but i Don't want that real time protection crap(Turning it off the service is still in the background ). I use Sandboxie,Superantispyware,and the windows firewall and keep windows7 Patched. As for without an antivirus i would recommend some layer of protection. As for the Antivirus with the Camera the app probable had a way for you to troggle the flashlight on and off but that is only a guess. Yea some apps on the Play store do ask for strange permisson sometimes but as long as the rating is good, You read the description (If the app is fake sometimes the "developer" will flat out tell you) and some of the comments and they are postive all should be fine. let's hope we will never see terminals and command lines again in the future Mint releases. That should be included in the main distro for the sake of noobs like me. I better be hacked by a single individual, poor russian or whatever the nationality, than the whole US goverment who sells my personal contacts to advertising companies.ĭaveinuk wrote:Reorx said it all very well in his reply to you, but as an addition if it makes you feel better - install the GUI front end of the firewall that's already built in to your OS - this is called UFW.Ī firewall GUI. That's a good point I have to take account. Spieng (spying maybe) is the worst problem.Īt least android asked me. Viruses is a risk I can fix when it hits me. I got suspicious with the antivirus programs since I tried to install one on my android mobile phone. But something tells me that using an antivirus is even riskier. Using windows 7 without an antivirus is risky. Windows 7 seem a lot safer to me than Google Android. Caveat Windows user.īut I 'll be honest with you. When you say "no problems so far" what you really mean is "no problems (that you know about) so far" - that is one of the big problems with Windows - malware can get on your machine and do its dirty work completely transparently (invisibly). No problems so far.So you currently do online banking from a Windows machine without an antivirus or internet security software (other than an "aftermarket firewall" (which you probably don't know how to configure well)). Neftis wrote.Truth is I use windows 7, without antivirus, no updates, only an "after-market" firewall. I always do my online banking with Mint,and feel safe in doing so, between that and the built in firewall and the routers protection, you'd be hard pushed to get much safer, bar the live method already detailed, I also bank online with my android phone, as with all things, safety can be down to sensible usage and care, I don't think a lot more can be added to this subject, enjoy your new OS and it's freedom ! Open up the firewall from your menu, click the padlock to unlock, enter password, turn on, close lock and exit, you now have a firewall GUI. If you open up synaptic package manager from the menu, type in GUFW and right click and choose to install (check UFW is already there, there should be a green box indicating it's already installed otherwise repeat to install) then apply and install. Reorx said it all very well in his reply to you, but as an addition if it makes you feel better - install the GUI front end of the firewall that's already built in to your OS - this is called UFW. this will protect you if you use your head. The nice thing about Linux - one of the things that make it so secure that is significantly different from Windows - is that NOTHING happens transparently in background. if you are not trying to install something, click "Cancel" and smile, you just prevented an infection. Nothing will happen (in the background) until you type the PW. if you are surfing and it pops up looking for the admin PW when you are not specifically trying to install something - lift your hands up from the keyboard and mouse and look at the screen and think for a second. That "authentication" dialog that pops up when you are altering the system is your friend. The vast majority of the time, you can find software you seek in the mint repositories either through Synaptic (GUI), Software Manager (GUI), or the terminal (command line). Learn smart computing habits - never install software from a dubious source. no command line stuff) and you'll be fine. Do a little reading and set up your router firewall intelligently (it has its own GUI - i.e. Most routers have some sort of firewall on them. Neftis wrote:Anyway, am I right to be so worried?In general - No, your not right - Linux is pretty secure all by itself and if you use a router, you're even safer.

Famous edwin meese speech12/6/2023 5, at noon, The Heritage Foundation will host an event, “ The Originalism Revolution Turns 30: Evaluating Its Impact and Future Influence on the Law,” featuring Meese. And in a speech to the Knights of Columbus, the largest Catholic lay group in America, Meese argued that it “begs credulity” that American values cannot be “religious in nature.”īy removing from public education and discourse all references to traditional religion and substituting the morality of the cult of self, he warned, “we run the risk of subordinating all other religions to a new secular religion which is a far cry from the traditional values … which underlie the American people.” Wade decision legalizing abortion on demand be overturned. The Department of Justice under Meese kept up the pressure by filing a “friend of the court” brief with the Supreme Court asking that the 1973 Roe v. Roosevelt to question how the Constitution ought to be interpreted and to recognize there is a role for the executive branch in “shaping the form of jurisprudence.” In challenging the Supreme Court, legal scholar Bruce Fein pointed out, Meese was the first attorney general since Robert Jackson under President Franklin D. It is fair to conclude, he said, that far too many of the court’s opinions were “more policy choices than articulations of long-term constitutional principles.” Instead, Meese said, the high court should employ a “Jurisprudence of Original Intention”-a return to the intent of the authors of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In a July 1985 speech to the American Bar Association, Meese declared that the Supreme Court had engaged in too much policymaking in its latest term and showed too little “deference to what the Constitution-its text and intonation-may demand.” Meese, the Ronald Reagan distinguished fellow emeritus at The Heritage Foundation, began by targeting the most visible violator of the principle of originalism. His goal was to persuade judges, even Supreme Court judges, to agree they should respect the text of the Constitution and the intent of the Founders who wrote it. Three decades ago, then-Attorney General Edwin Meese III initiated a spirited national debate about the proper application of our most important governing document-the U.S. |
