A woman was considered to be a possession of the family that she marries into, being passed to a brother if her husband died or the family having rights to the children she bore (Johnson). A woman’s place in society was once based on her being a daughter of her father and one of the In Yoruba, marriage is expected of each sex at the socially deemed appropriate age, women in their twenties and men in their thirties. Speaking of domestic roles, one interesting place to study is the Yoruba culture’s marriages and traditions in regards to gender roles. In a review of McIntosh’s book, another scholar Insa Nolte, concluded that, “Yoruba women adapted their skills to support more widespread cultural notions as well as continuing their domestic roles” (Nolte). According to McIntosh in her book Yoruba Women, Work, and Social Change, she summarizes that independent roles were played by women on agriculture and trade until colonial ideas about “female professions” changed the career paths of women (McIntosh). I don’t think that they shifted negatively for women, I believe it gave women more opportunity to have careers that they wished. In Yoruba I found that as time has changed and more outside influences were in contact with the Yoruba, the more the gender roles in Yoruba shifted. I found that in over sixteen countries people believe that men have the first right to jobs, that they believe males are more fit for political positions, and that women should have children to be fulfilled (Weziak-Bialowolska). At the completion of the demo, a splash screen touted an American release as "Coming Soon", but ChainDive was never released outside of Japan.To get these answer, I began to read about the differences in gender normality’s across different countries. on a demo disc packed with the Official PlayStation Magazine, Volume 79, in April 2004.

Many stages end with boss encounters and are capped with in-game and illustrated cutscenes with Japanese voiceover. Though most levels are based on grappling and swinging through stages, one level sees Shark snowboarding down an icy mountain, another running towards the screen from a huge monster while carrying a female companion over his shoulder. ![]() A combo counter slowly dwindles and when it finally times out Shark is awarded points for his successive moves and his health is even restored upon touching down on the ground for a moment. The gameplay and combo system is designed to encourage fast, non-stop flying action as Shark freezes a series of enemies, latches on and dives through them and continues bounding forward to the next batch. ![]() With swift timing, the sword can also be used to deflect enemy fire, freezing them in their tracks. Once frozen, Shark can latch onto enemies with the Plasma Chain, diving straight towards them with his sword, and destroy them for points and a boost in momentum. The particular enemies in ChainDive can be frozen just by approaching Shark's swinging, spinning blade but cannot be destroyed by it. ![]() Shark also has a double jump that can be activated at any time.įor attack and defense, Shark carries a glowing purple-blue, double-ended sword. For example, latching onto an orb from below will propel Shark upward but his trajectory can always be influenced by moving the left analog stick.

Good tower damage and can shove quick with E. you can even go boneplating if your super tryharding and he wouldn't even be able to poke you early. just Q him whenever he jumps into the team fight and R him if necessary. honestly and great vs zed in team fights. zed can never W otherwise he will have to miss CS or get chased down by garen Q. after 1 item you can pretty much just dance around minion wave. as long as you don't get too reckless and die to zed poke before your first back.

In this tutorial, we will be using data from the Copernicus Climate Data Store and more precisely a reanalysis ERA5-Land monthly averaged dataset for 2019. netcdf.įor climate and forecast data stored in NetCDF format there are (non-mandatory) conventions on metadata ( CF Convention). It is self-describing and machine-independent data format that supports the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data. NetCDF data format is a binary format and to be able to read or visualize it, we would need to use dedicated software or libraries that can handle this “special” format. We will learn to use panoply to visualize the sea ice area fraction over the poles (southern and northern poles) and surface temperatures for two different years (19). We will be using a freely available dataset containing Essential Climate Variables (sea ice area fraction, surface temperature) from Copernicus Climate Data Store. Therefore in this tutorial, we will be focusing on the usage of Climate data in Network Common data Form (netCDF) because it is the most common data format for storing Climate data. There are many online services to get climate data, and it is often difficult to know which ones are up-to date and which resources to trust.ĭifferent services provide different Application Programming Interfaces (API), use different terminologies, different file formats etc., which make it difficult for new users to master them all. There it goes! A spark forms as the electrons jump across the gap. You can discharge a charged object by giving it a way to drain its electrons into the ground, like via this conductive rod. But without any way for the charge to escape, it builds up in the dome. Negative charge flowing into the pie cases causes them to repel one another. Like these aluminium pie cases from my recycling bin! Electrons are picked up by the rubber belt and transferred into this conductive metal dome, and anything that’s touching it. This Van de Graaff generator helps to build up electrical charge so we can see its effects. Holding it near this uncharged wall, it repels the electrons near the surface, leaving a slight positive charge, which allows it to stick. When I rub this balloon on a jumper, it becomes negatively charged. These are non-contact forces, so the objects don’t need to touch. The combination of charges in nearby objects can create attractive or repulsive forces. So the atom has no overall charge - it is neutral.īut when you rub one, neutral, electrically insulating object against another, some of the electrons are transferred across, leaving an excess of negative charge on one of the objects, and a deficit on the other. Normally, the positive and negative charges cancel out because there are the same number of each. ![]() See, everything around us is made up of atoms which have a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Static electricity is a build up of electric charge on an object, and it can have some pretty strange effects. And it’s all because of static electricity.
