![]() There was so much that resonated with me, and I highlighted quite a lot. Kate Murphy’s words can revolutionize your conversations and relationships in a meaningful and powerful way. The message of true listening in You’re Not Listening serves to emphatically renovate the way we interact with each other. This is one of the most impactful books I have read all year. How do feel when you leave a conversation feeling like the person really absorbed what you shared with them? How do you feel when you leave a conversation feeling like the person wasn’t paying attention or didn’t care what you were saying to them? It’s time to stop talking and start listening. While we might take listening for granted, how well we listen, to whom, and under what circumstances determines who we are and the paths we take in life.Įqual parts cultural observation, scientific exploration, and rousing call to action that’s full of practical advice, You’re Not Listening is to listening what Susan Cain’s Quiet was to introversion. Listening is something we do or don’t do every day. It’s how we connect, cooperate, empathize, and fall in love. While listening is often regarded as talking’s meek counterpart, Murphy discovered it’s actually the more powerful position in communication. She makes accessible the psychology, neuroscience, and sociology of listening while also introducing us to some of the best listeners out there (including a CIA agent, focus-group moderator, bartender, radio producer, and top furniture salesman). In this illuminating and often humorous deep dive, Murphy explains why we’re not listening, what it’s doing to us, and how we can reverse the trend. A listener by trade, Murphy wanted to know how we got here. And it’s making us lonelier, more isolated, and less tolerant than ever before. Many admitted that they, themselves, weren’t very good listeners, and most couldn’t even describe what it meant to be a good listener.ĭespite living in a world where technology allows constant digital communication and opportunities to connect, it seems no one is really listening or even knows how. People struggled to come up with someone, anyone, who truly listened to them without glazing over, glancing down at a phone, or jumping in to offer an opinion. New York Times contributor Kate Murphy asked people on five continents this question, and the response was typically a long, awkward pause. ![]()

The size of the asteroid is important because not only will it determine how much damage it does, but it will also determine what measures need to be taken to divert it, or whether this would be possible at all. The size of 2023 PDC is calculated as being between 720 and 2,200 feet (220 to 660 meters), but it could be as wwide as 1.3 miles (2 km) if the surface of the asteroid is dark. As a result, there can be a large uncertainty in the size of asteroids. That means a small light-colored asteroid could have a greater albedo than a large darker one. ![]() The difficulty with this measurement (opens in new tab) comes from the fact that the albedo is also determined by the reflectivity of the asteroid's surface. ![]() The more light reflected, then, in principle, the larger the asteroid is. NASA says (opens in new tab) that this is done by measuring the amount of light reflected by the asteroid back into space, a quality called the albedo.

Assessing the size of the asteroid 2023 PDC problem ![]() But, there are still several uncertain aspects, some of which are characteristics of the 2023 PDC asteroid itself, that will be key to how humanity deals with the threat. The potential impact date is calculated as October 22, 2036, and despite this decade-plus preparation time, the NEO program manager explains that important decisions have to be made now. "The potential impact is 13 years from now, so it's not imminent, but we already can predict the date at which the impact is possible." The blast-off was shown live on Nasa TV and on the SpaceX Twitter account."Today is Epoch 1, the impact probability has now reached 1%," Chodas said. The team behind Dart chose the Didymos system because its relative proximity to Earth and dual-asteroid configuration make it ideal for observing the results of the impact. But scientists say smaller asteroids are far more common and pose a greater theoretical danger in the near term. The asteroid being targeted by Dart poses no actual threat and is tiny compared with the cataclysmic Chicxulub asteroid that struck Earth 66m years ago, leading to extinction of the dinosaurs. Cameras mounted on the impactor and on a briefcase-sized mini-spacecraft to be released from Dart about 10 days beforehand will record the collision and beam images of it back to Earth. Once there Dart will test its ability to alter an asteroid’s trajectory with sheer kinetic force. The Dart payload, about the size of a small car, was released from the booster minutes after launch to begin its 10-month journey into deep space, some 6.8 million miles (11 km) from Earth. If the mission is successful, it will mean that Nasa and other space agencies could deflect an asteroid heading towards Earth and avert an Armageddon-style impact. The plan is to crash the robot spacecraft into the moonlet Dimorphos at 15,000mph (24,100km/h) and change its path by a fraction. ![]() ![]() ![]() Residents also voiced opinions online by filling out a project input form.

The proposed location for the new concept is ideally situated east of the Dallas North Tollway and north of Panther Creek Parkway. Universal Parks & Resorts selected the city of Frisco, in North Texas, as the area for this new concept given the city’s growing population and ability to attract businesses to the area. The entire area is intended to have a completely different look, feel, and scale than Universal’s existing parks and will appeal to a new audience for the brand.

Also, the tracking is enabled by default. When you clone the repository both the branches, main, and dev will have the respective upstream branches (remote branches) because these branches are present in both the local copy as well the remote or upstream repository. git merge upstream/main Setup Git Upstream For a Branchīut when we talk about an upstream branch, it refers to the specific upstream of a branch in the remote respository.įor example, let’s say you clone a git repository with two branches, main and dev. In this example, it’s the main upstream branch. Then, merge the changes from the upstream branch to the local branch. To sync an upstream repo, first, you need to fetch the upstream changes.

Then you would raise a PR to the actual project repository from your forked repository.You push your changes to a branch in the forked repository.Meanwhile, to keep up with the main open-source repository, you pull the changes from it through your git upstream config.Then you clone from the forked repository.You would fork the actual project repository.This workflow is common in open-source development and even in normal project developments.įor example, If you wanted to contribute to an open-source project, this is what you do. When you clone a Forked repository to your local, the forked repository is considered as the remote origin, and the repository you forked from is upstream. So, for your local copy, the actual repository is upstream. Whenever you clone a git repository, you get a local copy in your system. Let’s take a look at different types of git upstreams. For example, when you clone from Github, the remote Github repo is upstream for the cloned local copy. In the git world, upstream refers to the original repo or a branch. Like the literal meaning, upstream refers to something which points to where it originated from. Note: We are following the name “main” instead of “master” considering the removal of terms like “master” and “slave” in the IT community. Have you wondered how to keep the forked repo in sync with the main repo? It’s done by adding the main repo as the upstream.

It can be observed from the chart that there are more neutrons than protons in nuclides with Z greater than about 20 (Calcium). This chart shows a plot of the known nuclides as a function of their atomic and neutron numbers. Also to help understand this concept there is a chart of the nuclides, known as a Segre chart. To determine the stability of an isotope you can use the ratio neutron/proton (N/Z). To identify the stability of an isotope it is needed to find the ratio of neutrons to protons. Nuclear stability is a concept that helps to identify the stability of an isotope. Neutron and Atomic Numbers and Nuclear Stability On the other hand, nuclei with an odd number of protons and neutrons are mostly unstable. Heavy nuclei with an even number of protons and an even number of neutrons are (due to Pauli exclusion principle) very stable thanks to the occurrence of ‘paired spin’. For example, actinides with odd neutron number are usually fissile (fissionable with slow neutrons) while actinides with even neutron number are usually not fissile (but are fissionable with fast neutrons). It must be noted, especially nuclear cross-sections may vary by many orders from nuclide with the neutron number N to nuclide with the neutron number N+1. Properties of atomic nuclei (atomic mass, nuclear cross-sections) are determined by the number of protons and number of neutrons (neutron number). Neutron and Mass Numbers and Nuclear Properties For example, the neutron number of uranium-238 is 238-92=146. We can determine the neutron number of certain isotope. Therefore, we cannot determine the neutron number of uranium, for example. Each nuclide is denoted by chemical symbol of the element (this specifies Z) with tha atomic mass number as supescript. The various species of atoms whose nuclei contain particular numbers of protons and neutrons are called nuclides. Nuclides that have the same neutron number but a different proton number are called isotones. Neutron number is rarely written explicitly in nuclide symbol notation, but appears as a subscript to the right of the element symbol. The difference between the neutron number and the atomic number is known as the neutron excess: D = N – Z = A – 2Z. Neutron number plus atomic number equals atomic mass number: N+Z=A. The total number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is called the neutron number of the atom and is given the symbol N. ![]() ![]() Mass numbers of typical isotopes of Lithium are 6 7.
