![]() A bright yellow made from crocoite became a colour in fashion. The use of Siberian red lead as a paint pigment developed rapidly. In 1770, Peter Simon Pallas visited the same site as Lehmann and found a red "lead" mineral that had very useful properties as a pigment in paints. Though misidentified as a lead compound with selenium and iron components, the material was in fact lead chromate with a formula of PbCrO 4, now known as the mineral crocoite. In 1761, Johann Gottlob Lehmann found an orange-red mineral in the Ural Mountains which he named Siberian red lead. In medicine, as a dietary supplement or slimming aid, usually as chromium (III) chloride or chromium(III) picolinate.In well drilling muds as an anti-corrosive.Chromium(IV) oxide (CrO 2) is used to manufacture magnetic tape, where its higher coercivity than iron oxide tapes gives better performance.It is also used as a mordant (i.e., a fixing agent) for dyes in fabric. Potassium dichromate is a chemical reagent, used in cleaning laboratory glassware and as a titrating agent.Chromium salts are used in the tanning of leather.Chromite is used to make molds for the firing of bricks.also makes a brilliant yellow for painting. ![]() Chromium is what makes a ruby red, and therefore is used in producing synthetic rubies.Chromium salts colour glass an emerald green.Chromium(III) oxide is a metal polish known as green rouge. ![]()

![]() To charge, disconnect the cable from the adapter and plug into the front of the mouse. Turn mouse on via the switch on the bottom of the mouse At this point, we give the Silver Award for the overall package to the fresh wind in the market – with the mentioned points as the only limitations.A wireless receiver attached to the USB adapter can be found in the accessory box Plug one end of the cable into your PC, and the other end into the USB adapter and receiver – The receiver can also be used plugged directly into your PC However, using the cable and adapter when in wireless mode is recommended and allows for better connectivity and easy access to the cable for recharging. Go for it! However, we wouldn’t recommend it unreservedly for everyone – unfortunately, it’s simply too expensive for that. Do you want permanent wireless charging, the mouse pad size is suitable for you and you have the necessary change at your disposal? Then. In summary to the G PowerPlay – check out the product. You can also clearly see online that the demand is there – in various online forums users show their modifications with third-party mouse pads. ![]() ![]() It is probably the technical limitations here, but even if the mouse pad only charges in one (large) section, this would be a great update. Additionally, we would wish for a larger mouse pad. This honestly makes you wonder – how much do I mind having to briefly plug in a cable every 35h-60h? All mice that are compatible have little to no issues with battery life. ![]() We support that and innovation in the market is always a great thing! Nevertheless, we cannot ignore the fact that the mouse pad costs € 101.00 * (test time: 129€). It is also clear that this form of wireless charging did not exist before, Logitech has developed a completely new product. Of course – what it advertises and is supposed to do, it fulfills without restrictions. The Logitech G PowerPlay, on the other hand, is much harder to rate. In our test, the G703 achieves the very good Gold Award and has definitely earned it! Especially on offer, the mouse is a wonderful companion. If you still need a lower weight, you should check out our review of the Logitech G Pro X Superlight – definitely worth a look, too. The Logitech G403 was popular for a reason – the shape of the mouse feels good, plus Logitech has gained enough experience to accommodate requests. Just in the current time many mice with honeycomb structure for weight reduction are on the market, with the new releases there are less and less “standard mice”. We especially like the placement on the market – a “normal” mouse. The response times are great, and the sensor is very accurate. A high-end sensor paired with convincing workmanship, a good feel in the hand and solid software is fun. The overall picture of the Logitech G703 Lightspeed convinces us. Never have to charge it with a cable again? Check! Conclusion There’s not much more to say – the mouse pad’s benefits are obvious, and the claims are fulfilled. Pairing with the mouse is very simple – connect the mouse pad, turn on the mouse and you’re ready to go. To save the battery, the battery level is kept between 85% and 95%. The mouse charges slowly, but constantly. In everyday use, the mouse pad does very well. Integrated receiver for mouse, shape for right-handed users only Logitech PowerPlay Dimensions (L x W x H) PowerPlay compatible, LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting, rubberized grips, mechanical switches Up to 35 h, up to 60 h without illumination Specifications Logitech G703 Dimensions (L x W x H) ![]() But can the duo also convince in everyday use? We tested it for you. Sounds like the perfect harmony – a wireless mouse that is permanently charged. Unlike other solutions that have a QI charging pad integrated on the side of the mouse pad, here the mouse is fully charged across the entire mouse pad. This is Logitech’s mouse pad that charges the wireless mouse while in use. PowerPlay? Never heard of it? Never mind, we have tested that for you as well. The G703 wants to convince with some upgrades – the wireless functionality is clearly in the foreground – but beyond that, smaller adjustments have been made: new surface material, the HERO sensor (like the G403 Refresh), improved switches for the primary buttons, PowerPlay compatibility. Logitech G PowerPlay – sensible expansion?. ![]() ![]() Big Ben was the largest bell in England for over 20 years until “Great Paul,” an even more ginormous bell, was put into Saint Paul’s Cathedral in 1881.Īnd while the bell was never repaired after its big crack, the four clocks have been repaired, including at least 6 paint jobs over the last 160 years. Big Ben continues to ring to this day, although with a slightly different sound since cracking. They turned the cracked bell slightly to one side so the hammer would strike in a different place on the bell – and, thus, it was never repaired. ![]() After that bell was installed, it cracked, too! The engineers weren’t about to remove a 13-ton bell and lower it 300 feet to the ground for repairs, so they did something else. The first bell made for the tower cracked before it was even installed, so a new one had to be made. Then a team of workmen spent 18 hours pulling on ropes to raise the humongous bell 300 feet in the air and place it inside the tower. When it was installed in the 1800’s, it took a cart and 16 horses to bring it to the site. ![]() The fifth and largest bell, called Big Ben, weighs over 13 tons and bongs every hour. Inside the tower, there are four bells that chime every 15 minutes. They even use pennies as weights! The clocks are wound inside the tower by hand every three days, taking 1.5 hours each time, kind of like winding large metal hamster wheels. So, we now know that the tower and the four clocks are big – and so are the clock hands! The hour hands are almost 9 feet (or 2.7 meters) long and the minute hands are 14 feet (or 4.3 meters) long! Can you imagine if you had to set those clocks by leaning out of a window 300 feet in the air? Luckily, the clocks are run by mechanisms, like pendulums, wheels, gears, and rods. There was no sneaking out early when Queen Victoria was watching those clocks! It is said that Queen Victoria used to look out of Buckingham Palace at night and see the clocks lit up, meaning that her ministers were still working late into the night. How tall or wide is that? Well, take four or five of your friends and have them stand on each other’s shoulders! That’s a tall stack – and a tall clock! The clocks are lit by electric lightbulbs but in the 1800’s they were lit by gas lamps. It has four sides measuring 40 feet each, and to get to the top of the tower you need to go inside and climb 393 steps.Īt the top of the tower are four clock faces measuring 22.5 feet in diameter. It was completed in 1859 and stands 316 feet – or 96 meters – tall. Give up? It’s Big Ben – the massive clock tower in London, England! Actually, Big Ben is the large bell INSIDE the tower, but most people now call the tower “Big Ben,” too!īig Ben, the tower, is one of the most iconic – or recognizable – landmarks in the world, just like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Great Sphynx of Giza in Egypt, or the Statue of Liberty in New York. ![]() ![]() It has appeared in many films, including Peter Pan, the Great Mouse Detective, Young Sherlock Holmes, and A Christmas Carol. Need some more hints? Well, it has been around for over 150 years and has been seen by millions of people but is not alive. What is over 300 feet tall, has a pointy cap, eight hands, and four faces? Did you guess a monster, a space creature, or a huge robot? Nope, guess again. Do you like riddles? I know I do and I have a tricky one for you today. ![]() ![]() The 4 energy of 2011 is going to expose just how set in our ways we are (stubborn) – how entrenched we are in certain beliefs. If our desires are shallow to begin with, we cannot evolve. But our shallow materially-based system has caused a terrible numbness (dumbness) that has seriously jeopardized the growth and progress of humanity. ![]() We are evolving on all levels, emotions included. ![]() Desire is not a mental concept, it is an emotional reality. We are talking about beneficial change – healing – that is generated from the inside out! We have to desire it, which means that we have to FEEL it on a much deeper level than we are accustomed to. We are talking about real transformation which starts with the desire to change. We must regain our ability to DESIRE, and keep it balanced between the deadly extremes of greed on the one hand and total self denial on the other.ħ7/14/5 implies change on a grand scale – not just waiting for others to change things or merely re-arranging the status quo so that it looks like change. 2 is the number of emotion – feminine energy. We will never be able to make the changes we must make unless we are emotionally driven to do so. However, at this stage of our journey, willingness to learn is not enough. This major karmic influence implies that we must LEARN from past and present mistakes, let go of outdated ideas and practices, and be willing to learn new things as we go. 77/14/5 indicates the fall of monarchy and the very shallow concept that some people are ‘born’ superior to others. 14/5 Karmic energy arises from wasted or misused freedom, irresponsibility and unwillingness to account for one’s actions. While 77 can generate much wisdom when it comes to making the changes humanity need to make, we must first deal with its karmic compound which is 14 – affecting matters of freedom, change, expression, the physical body, sex and fertility, different cultures, sudden, unexpected or unusual experiences, and commitment. We are moving from the masculine 1000s to the feminine 2000s, from 1 to 2, from ‘I AM’ to ‘WE ARE’, and it does seem that for some time to come, it is not going to be a smooth transition.ġ8 March, 2011 is the 77 th day of the year. Creative Numerology is based on this transition, because that is the direction our evolution must take. We must learn about 11’s total, which is 2 – (the square root of 4).

The world itself is in a very karmic 16/7 vibration on 18 March.Īs I pointed out in my previous article, “ Earthquake 11-3-11”, there is a distinct connection between the ‘circle within a square or box’, as reflected in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and Japan’s flag.

It's a huge file, though, so patience will probably be required. Please note, the file you'll download here is Adobe's Download Manager, which will then fetch and install Illustrator for you. Is it worth the upgrade, then? Tricky: the performance enhancements and UI tweaks are welcome, but may not be enough to justify the outlay. There's a new image tracing engine to help you convert raster images to vectors, for instance, and the program can now easily create seamless tiled vector patterns, but that's about it. You're looking for something more? Illustrator CS6 is relatively short on the big new features. And you can dock tools horizontally or vertically to organise your workspace just how you'd like. So even options which were previously hidden away, such as the Shape and Pen tools, can now be torn off and docked. There's an obvious new look (you can even tweak the UI brightness to your personal taste), but Adobe report making more than 40 usability tweaks to the Illustrator interface, from easier font changes to inline editing of layer names.Īnd workspace management just generally works a little more like you'd always hoped. The previous Gaussian blur implementation wasn't the best, for instance, but it's been optimised for CS6, and as a result Gaussian blurs (and effects which depend on them, such as drop shadows and glows) are now much, much faster. True 64-bit support and Adobe's Mercury Performance System play a big part in improving responsiveness, but Adobe have also been identifying and resolving bottlenecks all around the package.

They may memorize a calculus formula (which I’ll stipulate is beyond difficult), but it doesn’t represent rigorous thinking. Level One may be difficult for some students, but it isn’t complex. Karin Hess says, DoK is not about difficulty, it’s about complexity. Use other sources to analyze and draw conclusions. Tasks that require Level Four thinking include words like connect, analyze, and prove. Level Four: Extend conclusions and analysis (which might be the result of Level three) to new situations.Use a voice that is appropriate to the purpose, task, and audience. Tasks that require Level Three thinking include words like hypothesize, differentiate, and investigate. Level Three: Analyze and draw conclusions about the text.‘How’ and ‘why’ are good questions to bump an activity into Level Two. Tasks that require Level Two thinking include words like compare, infer, and interpret. Level Two: Show a relationship between an idea in the text and other events.Tasks that require Level One thinking include words like memorize, state, and recognize. Level One: Identify details in the text, specific facts that result in a ‘right’ answer.With Webb’s DoK chart, not only can you figure out how to teach a subject more deeply and expect students to demonstrate complex understanding, but teachers can evaluate where students are in the four-step process starting at the rote application of knowledge to its synthesization from various sources that is then transferred to other uses.Here are general details about Webb’s DoK: Like the SAMR Model, involvement grows with each level from a basic recall of knowledge to the ability to use that information in new circumstances. Depth of Knowledge (DoK) is arguably the most thorough with its four concise levels, each supported by a collection of words that contribute to delivering content at that level. There are several concepts that address this reform in teaching (such as Art Costa’s Habits of Mind, Bloom’s Taxonomy, the Hess Cognitive Rigor Matrix, or the tech-oriented SAMR Model). Now, exemplary teachers focus on blending learning into the student’s life knowledge base with the goal of building happy, productive adults.
