![]() ( 5) Here’s a rough range of how much sleep we need depending on what stage of life we’re in, so you can use the sleep calculator based on age: (6) When to Wake Up: How Much Sleep Do I Need?Īs we journey through our own cycle of life, our bodies change, and we need different amounts of slumber. The difference between six hours and six hours 30 minutes can be huge you don’t want to wake up in the middle of a cycle. Rather, the key factor is the number of sleep cycles we complete. ( 4) This is why the length of sleep is not what causes us to feel refreshed when we wake up. ( 3) Many scientists recommend going through 4-6 of these waves, which would provide six to nine hours of shut-eye (remember, each cycle is roughly 90-minutes long). Instead, we move from being awake, to stage one, two, three, four, and then three, two, one, before going into REM sleep! This cycle, which we like to think of as more of a “wave,” repeats over the course of the night. Which brings us to how we actually move through the sleep cycle! It’s important to note that each cycle isn’t, well, cyclical. It’s important to remember that we don’t go from being awake to being in REM sleep rather, we must pass through all the stages of NREM first. Even though this stage is the most similar to being awake, it’s the furthest point from wakefulness in terms of the sleep cycle.Blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing all begin to increase This is when, as the name suggests, our eyes dart up and down and all around, and is most likely when dreaming occurs. REM sleep: At the end of our cycle, we actually enter a light stage of sleep. Your blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing are all very low. Stage 4 is “deep sleep,” a stage that doesn’t want to be disrupted.Stage 3 is “slow wave sleep.” Here, blood pressure drops, heart rate further slows, and our breathing becomes slower and more rhythmic.Stage 2 is the “light phase,” which is when our heart rate slows down and our core body temperature decreases.Stage 1 is considered the “transitional phase,” when we’re drifting in and out of consciousness.( 2) Here’s a little bit more about each stage: By stage 4, it will be really hard to wake someone up. Across them, the body moves from really light sleep (Stage 1) to a super deep sleep (Stage 4). These four stages are building up intensity towards our REM sleep. However, the name does hint at the importance of NREM. NREM sleep: This is more than just our eyes staying still. Let’s look a little bit more closely at each one. The first four stages comprise our non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, while the fifth stage is when we move into rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. There are five cycles in total, each lasting around 90 minutes. Instead, our bodies go through a series of waves, called sleep cycles. ![]() It turns out we don’t just fall asleep and wake up eight hours later, with no critical happenings charging through our system (how we wish it were that simple). Let’s take a step back to explain what a sleep cycle actually is, along with what happens when our heads hit the hay at night. Instead, it’s characterized by length, quality, and timing, along with the absence of disturbances and disorders. While getting a certain number of hours of shut-eye is indeed important, normal sleep goes far beyond just clocking in and out. “Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night!” This recommendation is pounded into our heads day after day, night after night. Hold the Foam (Mattress): How Can I Optimize My Sleep Cycle? If you know what time you are falling asleep, and want to know the best time to wake up, look no further! Simply add your bedtime into the wake calculator, and it will give you several options for a wake up time and tell you how many sleep cycles you will achieve.

![]() Against the idyllic backdrop of a horse ranch in the foothills of the Rockies, devotees around the world watched their relationship progress from an on-and-off teen romance, to marriage and eventual parenthood. After all, the relationship between Marshall’s Amy Fleming and Wardle’s Ty Borden had arguably become the true heart of Heartland over 14 seasons. She also knew long before writers were forced to come up with a satisfying way for Wardle’s character, Ty, to exit the series, which he did in decidedly dramatic fashion this past Sunday. It was no easy task. So Marshall knew Wardle was leaving before producers of the long-running series did. I understood the journey he was on and that nobody should stand in the way of someone who wants to pursue what their true heart’s desire is.” But then, as I had time to process it, I understood it. ![]() When he first told me, it stung a little bit. “He and I have a very close relationship, we’ve been great friends for a number of years since the show began. “He wanted to let me know before he told anybody else,” says Marshall, in an interview with Postmedia late last week. He had some surprising, and somewhat unsettling, news for his co-star. Roughly two years ago, Amber Marshall received a phone call from Graham Wardle, the actor she worked closely with for 14 years on the CBC show, Heartland. WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS ABOUT THE SEASON 14 OPENER OF HEARTLAND ![]() ![]() Ultimately, one thing management has done really well and something I genuinely believe applies to all the guys above, is that our roster has good at-bats I think they have the luxury of that in 1 run games in mid-August I would agree with you in terms of Gleyber recently, and even Hicks and Donaldson trying to do too much at the plate We have a top 3 relieving staff statisticallyĪnd we’re injured rn - we should be rooting for our team, we have an exceptional roster, not wishing our downfall We have a top 3 starting pitching staff statistically We have a top 3 offensive roster MINIMUM if not comfortably the strongest when healthy If we hit our average in runs per game in any of our recent losses, we win That is ignoring us at #2 in runs per game at 5.28 and #1 at homers and xbh per game Our bullpen ERA is 2nd in Baseball at a 2.98 currently, our starting ERA is 3rd at 3.29, this is the best pitching we’ve had in a decade and frankly more than we could ever hope for with our offense - which is our real breadmaker If we allow a max of 3 or 4 runs through the post season which we’ve done the past several games then we are in an EXCELLENT position to win post season games It’s a perfect example of the doomsday mentaltyĮffross also actually shined and will be huge for us in the post Our starters have allowed a combined 4?

When T2 turns ON, it shunts the supply voltage to ground thus regulating the supply voltage at the desired level. The 1K preset is adjusted such that the TL431 just conducts at around 56 V which is optimal level for charging a 48 V battery.Īs soon as the TL431 conducts, the T1 shuts off, causing T2 to turn ON. In this design, the TL431 IC is well protected with 12 V zener diodes to ensure the internal circuitry of the device is not subjected to extreme breakdown voltages. The following image shows how the TL431 device can be used for controlling windmill generators for charging upto 48 V batteries. Making a Precision Shunt Regulator using TL431 for Windmill Applications ![]() The resistor at the base of the transistor is not critical and may arbitrarily selected anything between 1k and 4k7. This resistor protects the transistor from burning due to short circuit at the output. This will lead naturally to our discussion of digital systems. We will conclude this chapter by looking at how transistors can be used as logic devices. In the case of both devices, we will talk about the nonlinear models, load line analysis and applications. This can be calculated in the same way as discussed previously for the first TL431 regulator diagram. Next we will talk about diodes, followed by the bipolar junction transistor. The resistor at the input side limits the maximum tolerable current that can be sinked or shunted by the PNP transistor. In the above diagram we can see two resistors whose values are not mentioned, one in series with the input supply line, another at the base of the PNP transistor. The output current will depend on the magnitude of current the transistor is able to sink. In the above diagram most of the parts placement is similar to the first shunt regulator design, except that here the cathode is provided with a resistor to positive and the point also becomes the base trigger of the connected buffer transistor. However this device can be configured to shunt higher amount of currents by adding an external shunting transistor with the output of the TL431.įor working with higher current a transistor buffer may be used, as shown in the following circuit. Normally, the TL431 adjustable zener diode cannot used with currents over 100 mA. Making a High Current Shunt Regulator using TL431 The above configurations are restricted to a max 100 mA current at the output. The parts can be identified through the formula shown in the diagram.

From museums that celebrate the city’s industrial and transportation past to beautiful natural sites, there’s a lot to see and do in Scranton and the rest of Lackawanna County.Īfter visiting the area many times over my years writing this site, here are a few of my favorite things to do in Scranton, PA. There are many great things to do in Scranton, PA. You might know Scranton as a former coal town or the setting for the TV show, “The Office,” but if that’s all you know about this great city, you’re missing out. Typically, you would connect the line voltage to the Line pair, and you would run from the load pair to any downstream outlets and or lights. One pair is marked LINE and the other marked load. GFCIs come marked with two sets of terminals. Most of these have holes or notches for two wires per terminal and they're very secure. This works perfectly fine if you use "EZ-Wire" GFCI outlets they have a plate that clamps down with the screw to hold wires so you don't have to curl around the screw terminal. The following will also work but licensed electricians may cringe firmly screw both the line and load wires onto the line terminal (I see this all the time when working with daisy-chained switches in multi-gang boxes so it can't be THAT bad). The best way to do this is to wire-nut the line and load wires together (hot separate from neutral of course) along with a third piece of insulated wire to connect to the GFCI terminal. You will not be able to use the "load" terminals to connect wires as those will cut out when the GFCI does. If you really do want it this way, it's accomplished by connecting both line AND load wires to the "line" terminals on the GFCI outlet. As GFCIs start at about $11 and run up to $25 depending on a variety of factors (15/20A, TR/WR, EZ-wire, color, style, brand, region) putting multiple GFCIs on a circuit can become an expensive way to wire your home (though probably less expensive than rewiring the circuit completely). So, if bypassing GFCI at any given point would make any downstream outlet non-compliant, you'll need to either suck it up and protect the whole line, or install a second GFCI further downstream to protect the needed outlet. However, code does apply to individual outlets any receptacle outlet within 6 feet of a sink, tub, toilet, shower or other "wet" area MUST be GFCI-protected either by having a GFCI outlet there, or having one upstream that has this outlet as part of its "load". Even the fridge should probably have GFCI protection if it has water/ice dispensers it should just have its OWN GFCI, which trips when the fridge itself shorts and not the toaster next to it.Ĭode does not specifically require everything downstream of an installed GFCI outlet to be protected by that GFCI outlet, and so technically, bypassing protection is allowed. BUT, most devices, such as your DW and disposer (those can be on the same branch as the countertop outlets IF the home was built or last reno'ed before 1996) require GFCI protection anyway along with all countertop outlets. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, you can often keep the fridge running by strategically placing unchained GFCIs in the circuit around the fridge outlet, bypassing protection for the fridge. If the GFCI for countertop outlets trips while you're away from home, you don't want your fridge cutting out. ![]() Sometimes it's a no-brainer say your fridge is on your kitchen appliance branch circuit (perfectly acceptable). You have to ask yourself if that's what you REALLY want the design of a GFCI outlet is such that it will protect everything "downstream" of it and 99% of the time this is a very good thing.Īgain, consider whether you REALLY want to not have GFCI protection on these outlets (and whether it's allowable by code). ![]() Money market accounts are designed to speed up saving, and Capital One 360’s is among the best with its high interest rate, automated savings programs and no fees that eat away at your deposits.

![]() ![]() However, NTFS also has a few disadvantages, such as the fact that it is not compatible with all operating systems (e.g., Linux) and that it can be more difficult to recover data from an NTFS drive if it becomes corrupted. NTFS has a number of advantages over FAT, including better support for large hard drives, more efficient file management, and file compression. NTFS also supports file encryption, which can help protect sensitive data from being accessed by unauthorized users. One of the key features of NTFS is that it supports file compression, which can help save disk space. NTFS is the default file system for Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Vista. NTFS is an improvement over the older FAT (File Allocation Table) file system and is designed to provide better support for larger hard drives and more efficient file management. NTFS (New Technology File System) is a file system that was introduced by Microsoft in the early 1990s. Other new features include a redesigned Dock, a new Mission Control interface, and support for AirPlay 2. One of the most notable new features is the addition of a new file system that is designed to be more resistant to data corruption. It is designed to be more stable and reliable than its predecessors and comes with a variety of new features and improvements. MacOS Ventura is a new operating system from Apple that is based on the UNIX platform. If you are the one like me who want to read or write a NTFS drive on Mac Ventura 13, please follow the guidelines in this post. This is a bug you could come across regularly after macOS upgrade. I recently upgraded my Mac from macOS Monterey to Ventura 13.0 (stable) and found out my NTFS app failed to write the NTFS drive since them.
