![]() ![]() Various Postulates of Thomson’s Atomic Model are mentioned below: The diagram explaining the Plum Pudding Model or the Thomson Atomic model is added below which shows that positive charge is spread throughout the atom and negative charge is embedded in the atom maintaining the electrical neutrality of the atom. We can also compare this with a watermelon where the positive charge is comparable to the edible part of the watermelon, and electrons are like seeds that are embedded in that sphere. Thomson’s Atomic Model, also called the Plum Pudding Model states that an atom can be compared to a plum pudding where electrons are like dry fruits in a sphere of positive charge, representing the pudding. The magnitude of the positive and the negative charge in the sphere is equal according to Plum Pudding Model. In this sphere, the positive charge is spread uniformly and the negative charge is embedded in this positive charge due to electrostatic attraction between the charge. ![]() According to Thomson, an atom represents a sphere of radius of magnitude in Angstrom. Thomson Atomic Model is also called the Plum Pudding model as it represents the Plum Pudding. ![]() Role of Mahatma Gandhi in Freedom Struggle.The nucleus is the tiny, dense, central core of the atom and is composed of protons and neutrons. He concluded that all of the positive charge and the majority of the mass of the atom must be concentrated in a very small space in the atom's interior, which he called the nucleus. In contrast, the particles that were highly deflected must have experienced a tremendously powerful force within the atom. Because the vast majority of the alpha particles had passed through the gold, he reasoned that most of the atom was empty space. Rutherford needed to come up with an entirely new model of the atom in order to explain his results. In a famous quote, Rutherford exclaimed that it was "as if you had fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue and it came back and hit you." No prior knowledge had prepared them for this discovery. Some were even redirected back toward the source. Surprisingly, while most of the alpha particles were indeed not deflected, a very small percentage (about 1 in 8000 particles) bounced off the gold foil at very large angles.

Rutherford found that a small percentage of alpha particles were deflected at large angles, which could be explained by an atom with a very small, dense, positively-charged nucleus at its center (bottom). (B) According to the plum pudding model (top), all of the alpha particles should have passed through the gold foil with little or no deflection. \) : (A) The experimental setup for Rutherford's gold foil experiment: A radioactive element that emitted alpha particles was directed toward a thin sheet of gold foil that was surrounded by a screen which would allow detection of the deflected particles.

I will never get my hair cut at ULTA again, and if you're smart, you won't either. She charges me $30, I tip her $8 and leave feeling like a million bucks. She offers to get me in that same day for an emergency repair job and of course it turns out perfectly. She never asks me if I didn't like the cut, just stands there blinking in disbelief that I won't tip another $10 for a crappy haircut that already cost me $45.Ī few days later I finally get hold of my regular stylist and tell her my woes. ![]() When I decline to leave a tip, the cashier just starts blinking her eyes. ![]() She doesn't ask me if I liked my cut, she just asks if I want to leave the stylist a tip. I take the invoice up to the front and wait another 15 minutes in line before a cashier is ready. So I give up.Īt this point, she's spent maybe 20 minutes on my hair and it still looks like crap. She plays around with the scissors some more but no matter how much I emphasize that I want it angled, it still ends up looking hacked off across the back, just a clean straight line where I want it tapered. I tell her it's not quite there yet, that she should angle it more at the sides. "Mmmm, that's not what I said," I reply, and from there on our chemistry just keeps going downhill.Ībout midway through the cut, she hands me a mirror and asks me how I like it. "Oh, so you don't know what you want," she says grimly. I show the stylist a picture of the style I like, tell her I am wavering between long and short.

The main assembly site of the iPhone is China, but the phones are assembled in many factories. G6T – is the identifier of the factory where the iPhone is assembled.IPhone serial number starts with C, with D, with G Serial number iPhone meaningĪpple serial number meaning, of course you can apply the principle of decoding serial numbers I described for other Apple products as well. From 2010 until 2022, the iPhone serial number has 12 digits and contains some information, the most valuable of which is the information about the iPhone’s build date. Such a serial number contains information about the manufacturer, the date of manufacture of the phone with details up to a week, the phone model number and some technical specifications. The serial number for Apple iPhone smartphones is assigned according to a special algorithm, only phones up to iPhone13. Once the number is written into the phone’s operating system, a sticker is printed, the phone is packaged in a box, a sticker is placed on the box, the box is sealed, and the phone is shipped to the retailer.

If you want to know if there is any information in the serial number, count how many characters. The serial number itself has been reduced from 12 characters to 10.

I’ll go into more detail on phone serial numbers before 2022 and iPhone serial numbers after 2022 in this article. I checked the serial numbers on and I can tell you that the numbers are completely random, there is no longer any pattern to the serial numbers assigned. So it’s now impossible to know anything from the serial number. This affected the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone SE, iPhone 13 mini and the next generation iPhone 14. ![]() You should know that starting in 2021, Apple started assigning random serial numbers to its devices, including the iPhone.

The Dodgers had the right guys at the plate at the right time and they didn't even put the ball in play. Martinez then flew out to strand Wong at first base. They both batted representing the tying run. In the eighth inning Kevin Ginkel issued a four-pitch leadoff walk to pinch-hitter Kolten Wong, giving Betts and Freeman a chance at redemption. They combined to go 1 for 21 with three walks and four strikeouts in the three games, and the one hit was an infield single. That said, Betts and Freeman had a terrible NLDS. ![]() They're both likely to finish in the top three of the NL MVP voting and deservedly so. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman are, inarguably, two of the very best players in the game. Pfaadt did his job and the bullpen did theirs. Things got a dicey in the seventh inning when Los Angeles brought the go-ahead run to the plate, but Saalfrank got Austin Barnes to ground out to end the threat. Lovullo took the 4 1/3 scoreless innings and wouldn't push his luck any further.įive D-backs relievers - Mantiply, Ryan Thompson, Andrew Saalfrank, Kevin Ginkel, Paul Sewald - held the Dodgers to two runs in 5 2/3 innings Wednesday. The manager must do what gives the team the best chance to win at all times in October and Pfaadt had a 5.72 ERA during the regular season. Couldn't let the kid get two more outs, Torey? On the other hand, the D-backs had a chance to close out a sweep. On one hand, Pfaadt falling two outs short of qualifying for the win - a postseason win, at that - despite being staked to a 4-0 lead is tough. Pfaadt threw 42 pitches in 4 1/3 innings. Then again, what manager isn't aggressive with his bullpen in the postseason? Rookie Brandon Pfaadt faced the minimum through four innings in Game 3, but when Will Smith lifted a one-out double to left in the fifth, D-backs manager Torey Lovullo popped out of the dugout and called for lefty reliever Joe Mantiply. The offense didn't have a good series either, but gosh, it's hard to win when your starters do that. Their starters - Clayton Kershaw, Bobby Miller, Lynn - combined to allow 13 runs and get 14 outs in the three games. The Dodgers had rotation concerns coming into the postseason and the NLDS played out to the worst case scenario. ![]() They say solo homers can't beat you, but the people who say that must've never seen a pitcher given up four solo homers in one inning. Lynn allowed 44 home runs during the regular season, the most since Bronson Arroyo allowed 46 homers in 2011, and he allowed 20 homers in 66 2/3 innings with the Dodgers between the regular season and postseason. Alas and alack, Moreno exited Game 3 with a right hand contusion after being hit by a foul tip. Wednesday's homer was his third of the postseason. It sure looks like he's figuring out how to get the ball airborne consistently now. He always displayed tremendous bat-to-ball ability in the minors, but he hit a ton of ground balls. They had 14 homers through five postseason games. The D-Backs have hit four homers in an inning just once in the regular season in their history, according to ESPN, and their 13 homers are the second most ever through a team's first five postseason games. Walker and Moreno went back-to-back, and Moreno went deep one pitch after a near-homer that sliced just foul. Geraldo Perdomo, Ketel Marte, Christian Walker, and Gabriel Moreno all took Lance Lynn deep. In the third inning the D-backs - the D-backs! - became the first team in baseball history to hit four home runs in a single postseason inning. ![]() Here now are our takeaways from Arizona's Game 3 win over the Dodgers. They want that series to go the full five games so their NLCS opponent gets worn out. The Phillies lead that best-of-five series 2-1, though the D-Backs will surely root for the Braves on Thursday. They will take on either the Atlanta Braves or Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS. The Dodgers won 100 games during the regular season and zero in the postseason.įor the D-backs, this is their first trip to the NLCS since 2007, when they got swept by the Colorado Rockies. Wednesday night at Chase Field, the D-backs used a historic third inning to finish the three-game Division Series sweep of the NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers ( ARI 4, LAD 2). The Arizona Diamondbacks are heading to the National League Championship Series. ![]() You must know everything about family members, right?

![]() MathML is a universal format for math that is easily convertible into visible, audible, tactile and machine-readable forms. The RCPD has been using MathML in XML or XHTML documents for several years to make accessible math for our students with disabilities. For Braille users, MathML supports various Braille math formats, subject to Braille translation software support. MathML also allows the synthetic speech user to set different verbosity levels, automatically adjusts for the user's native language, and supports aural navigation through complex math equations for better understanding. MathML equations will, for instance, increase in size as users change font size to increase readability. Using MathML provides the highest level of accessibility to math within digital documents. It describes structure and content of mathematical notation. MathML is a markup language written in XML syntax. MathML (Mathematical Markup Language) is an industry standard adopted by the W3C as the approved way of expressing math on the web. Artificial Intelligence will have access to the math which will enable unlimited ways for users to learn and use these equations.This will also enable researchers to find equations online. This enables users to navigate documents and find the equations or parts of equations needed. ![]() At MSU, this will enable students to give their work back to the professor. The user can create math in the same format.The user can independently edit and solve it.A Braille display can present it in standard Nemeth or UEB Braille.A screen reader can read the equation and sequence through it character by character.While it is possible to add "Alt text" to these images, this does not provide access to manipulate, edit or solve it. Unfortunately, many current applications use image files for displaying equations. The math is visible in a notation that a computer generates from fonts in its character set.What is Accessible Math?Īccessible math is a format with the following characteristics and benefits: The equations can also then be converted to Nemeth Braille on a Braille Display that is typically connected to the computer via USB or Bluetooth. When equations are in MathML they can be read correctly by a screen reader such as Jaws, Read Aloud, and Voice Over. Creating equations using MathType, puts them into the accessible format MathML that can render directly in web browsers. It is now possible, at no extra cost, to embed accessible math equations within Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), Google Docs, Mac Office Software (Pages, Key Note), and D2L using MathType add-in. To recognize their hard work, Cecil and Judi were deservedly named Small Business Persons of the Year in 2007.Ĭecil and Judi are the proud parents of Ashley Murphy, Shane Bowen, and Chelsea Mason, and grandparents of nine. 1, worked with the Young Life Organization for fifteen years, and sits on the board of Abilene Christian University. He served as Chair of the Comal County Water District No. With over 140 funds, the foundation grants monies for causes like senior services, education, and youth programs.Ĭecil has also served his community in other organizations that have benefitted from his coaching and expertise. The community foundation serves as a way for people to create an endowment that outlives them and continues to fund their causes and goals. The New Braunfels Community Foundation has, to date, granted more than eight million dollars to non-profit causes in the community and has assets of more than thirteen million dollars. Four years later, after countless meetings and with critical seed money funding from the McKenna Foundation, the New Braunfels Community Foundation was born. ![]() ![]() The Chamber agreed the project was worthy enough to be an independent undertaking. Armed with the Chamber’s blessing and the addition of David Pfeuffer, the committee spent one year researching and fact-finding. Cecil suggested starting a similar foundation, and fellow committee members Marian Benson, Roger Tuttle, and Doug Toney agreed. A neighbor in Abilene had been a member of a community foundation, and Cecil was surprised that New Braunfels did not have one. In 2009, Cecil attended a Chamber retreat and served as a committee member tasked with identifying community improvements. Cecil became involved with the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, where he served on the Chamber’s Board of Directors for three years and on the Convention and Visitors Bureau for thirteen years, including a three-year stint as committee chair. It was an opportunity that would provide the Eagers with personal satisfaction and new relationships in the business community. In 2000, an opportunity arose, and Cecil and Judi bought the historic Gruene Mansion Inn. In 1996, Cecil accepted an offer from T-Bar-M to serve as president of their camps, and the Eagers relocated their family to New Braunfels. The relationship between T-Bar-M and Cecil also proved significant personally. Cecil arranged with his new acquaintances at T-Bar-M to host tennis tournaments for Abilene Christian over spring breaks, with significant results for his teams. Cecil’s mission of building a nationally recognized tennis program at Abilene Christian lacked the resources for the travel necessary to play ranked teams. The visit proved significant for all parties. He was at the facility when T-Bar-M Tennis Camp in New Braunfels came to research converting their pure tennis camp into a sports camp. While coaching at ACU, Cecil worked summers in Missouri at Kanakuk, a well-known Christian-based sports camp. He coached twenty-five All-Americans and additionally served as Abilene Christian’s Athletic Director from 1990 until 1995. Cecil served as the men’s and women’s tennis coach at Abilene Christian for twelve years, leading the Wildcats to NCAA Division II top ten rankings and seven Lone Star Conference championships. The untimely death of Cecil’s father compelled him to return home to assist his mother and reunited him with Abilene Christian. ![]() He coached high school for a year until he was hired by World Championship Tennis in Dallas, a professional men’s tennis tour. Merwin and Georgia Mae Eager raised their son and two daughters to live their Christian faith and to work as a team - concepts that are the solid foundations of Cecil’s professional and volunteer life.Īfter graduating high school, Cecil earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Abilene Christian University and a master’s degree from Baylor. The Braunfels Foundation Trust is delighted to join in and honor Cecil Eager as a Living Legend of New Braunfels.Ĭecil was born in the small west Texas town of Clyde. Abilene Christian University inducted him into their Sports Hall of Fame and named a tennis facility for Cecil and his wife, Judi. The New Braunfels Community Foundation bestows an annual philanthropy award, “The Eager,” in his honor. The New Braunfels Herald Zeitung honored him as a “Pillar of the Community” and an “Unsung Hero.” The Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce placed him in the Hall of Honor just last year. The Braunfels Foundation Trust is somewhat late to the party in recognizing Cecil Eager’s many contributions to our community. |
