![]() And there's a parent fish and a baby fish. So there's a cartoon that I show often, when I give talks, of a fishbowl. RAZ: So here's the thing, I hear that and I'm thinking, OK, this is about as American as it gets, right? I mean, you can choose whatever you want. And what I got was good, but it wasn't perfect. The reason is that with all of these options available, my expectations about how good a pair of jeans should be went up. Why? I wrote a whole book to try to explain this to myself. So I spent an hour trying on all these damn jeans and I walked out of the store - truth - with the best-fitting jeans I had ever had. My jaw dropped and after I recovered, I said I want the kind that used to be the only kind. And the shopkeeper said: Do you want slim-fit, easy-fit, relaxed-fit? You want button fly or zipper fly? You want stonewashed or acid washed? You want them distressed? Do you want boot-cut? Do you want tapered? Blah, blah, blah. SCHWARTZ: This hit me when I went to replace my jeans after years and years of wearing these old ones. It just turns out not to be true, psychologically. SCHWARTZ: And that's perfectly sensible, logically. SCHWARTZ: And so the logic here is that when you add options, you don't make anybody worse off because you can ignore them, and you make somebody better off. The fact that there are alternatives makes my life better. SCHWARTZ: I don't like Rice Krispies and Corn Chex. I mean, imagine you have cereal for breakfast every morning, and you alternate between Rice Krispies and Corn Chex. It's paralysis rather than liberation, which sounds. ![]() RAZ: Too much choice actually makes us less free. ![]() The more options there are, the easier it is to regret anything at all that is disappointing about the option that you chose. The second effect is that even if we manage to overcome the paralysis and make a choice, we end up less satisfied with the result of the choice then we would be if we had fewer options to choose from. Why? Because with 50 funds to choose from, it's so damn hard to decide which fund to choose that you'll just put it off till tomorrow, and then tomorrow and, of course, tomorrow never comes. You offer 50 funds, 10 percent fewer employees participate than if you only offer five. A colleague of mine got access to investment records from Vanguard, the gigantic mutual fund company of about a million employees and about 2,000 different workplaces.Īnd what she found is that for every 10 mutual funds the employer offered, rate of participation went down 2 percent. I'll give you one very dramatic example of this - a study that was done of investments in voluntary retirement plans. With so many options to choose from, people find it very difficult to choose at all. One effect, paradoxically, is that it produces paralysis rather than liberation. SCHWARTZ: So I'm going to talk about what's bad about it. The mistake that we've made is to think that since choice is good, it's only good. SCHWARTZ: Absolutely, and it is a good thing. RAZ: How - how can that be? I mean, choice is what we all want, right? I mean, choice is a good thing. This, I think, is so deeply embedded in the water supply that it wouldn't occur to anybody it is not true. And the more freedom they have, the more welfare they have. The more choice people have, the more freedom they have. The way to maximize freedom is to maximize choice. SCHWARTZ: The official dogma of all Western industrial societies runs like this: If we are interested in maximizing the welfare of our citizens, the way to do that is to maximize individual freedom. ![]() Why we are happy, why we live more fulfilling lives because of our limitless choices. SCHWARTZ: A hundred and seventy-five salad dressings in my supermarket, if you don't count the 10 extra virgin olive oils and 12 balsamic vinegars you could buy to make a very large number of your own salad dressings, in the off-chance that none of the 175 the store has on offer suit you. RAZ: This is Barry Schwartz, a social psychologist, and this is from his TED talk. 5 - who doesn't like to have lots of choices, right? Like, say, for example, salad dressing.īARRY SCHWARTZ: I want to say just a word about salad dressing.

![]() Placing this stone in our homes or wearing it as a charm welcomes good luck to enter our life. This black stone also helps enhance the feng shui energy of success in our career or business. This volcanic glass keeps us connected with the earth, allowing us to be mindful of the things around us. It provides a sense of stability in all aspects of our lives. Keeps you groundedĪs a stone connected to the root chakra, obsidian helps keep us grounded. It also offers psychic protection, clearing psychic smogs that have accumulated due to stressful and traumatic events in our lives. They are also believed to protect us from harmful EMFs emitted from our phones, TV, and other gadgets. Many use it to defend themselves against evil spirits, bad luck, and misfortune. Obsidian is highly valued as a protection stone. The obsidian meaning and the use as a healing stone comes from its properties that can affect our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Obsidian has a wide range of metaphysical benefits is used as a protective crystal in Feng Shui and is aligned to the root Chakra. Those with high enough reflective properties are also transformed into beautiful glass mirrors. Today, this rock has become a popular gem to use in jewelry and other artisan crafts. The stone was often turned into knives and arrowheads used for hunting. In ancient times, obsidian was used as a weapon because of its edges. When broken down, obsidian usually forms very sharp yet smooth edges. Thus, it’s not a true mineral but a mineraloid made of natural glass. While obsidian is often thought to be a crystal, it is actually a glass-like igneous rock that solidified without crystallization. The stone is also known for being brittle. As a type of volcanic glass, it has a glassy texture and a vitreous luster. It is naturally dark in color due to the presence of magnesium and iron. Obsidian is a natural stone that formed from quickly cooled volcanic lava. ![]() With thousands of products available for sale on our website and the nature of supply and demand fluctuations with fast moving goods, it is impossible to keep all items 100 per cent in stock, 100 per cent of the time.

In general, drainage core widths of 1/4 to 1/2 inch provide drainage flow rates 3 to 5 times the rate of commonly used natural backfill materials. Many drainage mats also include a polyethylene sheet backer to uniformly disperse the loads imposed on the membrane and reduce the potential for damage caused by non-uniform profiles (dimples) in the composite core.ĭesign considerations include selecting an appropriate design to achieve the required flow rate. The fabrics are available in various forms including non-woven for clay type soils and woven or small opening geotextiles for sandy or high-silt type soils. The geotextile fabrics retain sand, soil, concrete, or grout allowing water to migrate into the free draining core. The plastic composite "dimpled" drainage cores are available in various configurations and are typically constructed using polypropylene, polystyrene and polyethylene. Prefabricated Synthetic Drainage Layers-These products consist of a combination of plastic composite drainage cores with adhered geotextile fabrics. Gap-grading the sand provides uniform grain size, which accelerates drainage flow rates. Graded pea gravel refers to naturally rounded stone between 3/16 inch and 3/8 inch in diameter. Prefabricated Synthetic Drainage LayersĪggregate Drainage Layers-Aggregate drainage layers include graded pea-gravel aggregate or coarse sands.Descriptions and guidelines are provided on the following topics:ĭrainage Materials for below grade enclosures include: This section provides specific description of materials and systems common in foundation walls and below grade building enclosure systems in general. Expert advice may also be necessary when dealing with field conditions. Readers are advised to obtain expert advice when designing systems which are below the water table or which are enclosing particularly vulnerable occupancies. ![]() In the upper areas of the foundation wall thermal loading considerations must be addressed. However, water removal measures around foundation walls below the water table may be impractical and expensive over the long-term and the waterproofing strategy becomes critical. For most portions of the foundation wall, water removal and control is of prime importance. ![]() The foundation wall system may include an earth retention system of soldier piles and wood lagging or shotcreted rock requiring consideration of waterproofing applied to the earth retention system. Materials used may be concrete or reinforced masonry. The foundation wall of a building may be a cast-in-place concrete retaining or basement wall or a structural wall complete with load-bearing pilasters. But the face in the nun form does have hints of what her original image was.ĭouble is speculated to have been created by the Trinity as she shares a few physical traits from each member. Double's true form has been long forgotten. Double chooses a nun form in order to manipulate people with religion. The nun form that she takes is based on no one in particular it's just a form she takes to blend in at the cathedral. Despite her taking on a female form as a disguise and her combat stance being female like, her gender is still listed as Unknown on the official site which may be because she's not actually human and as such has no true gender. Her home stage is the Grand Cathedral, but Gehenna is also referred to her "domain" and is even implied to be an extension of herself. 8.1 Skullgirls Mobile exclusive palettesĭouble is one of the eight original playable characters in Skullgirls.Sekhmet's armor reduces damage by 25%, half of standard armor.Running out of meter forces Sekhmet back to Eliza with the same animation as Hathor's Return (214 P), which manually returns her.She can use these, along with her 1 crouching and 3 jumping normals, in relatively easy chain combos but has no specials, throws, supers, or other moves of any kind. The LP, MP, and HP attacks from Sekhmet's Turn summons Sekhmet as she attacks with the corresponding button.Keeping Sekhmet out drains meter at a rate of one level of meter per 590f, she receives no meter for getting hit, and all of her attacks consume meter on start up instead of generating it for the team.A button on the bottom left of the screen can easily cancel this, returning Eliza to normal before the time is up. After the 10 seconds is up, Eliza will return to normal. In the mobile version of Skullgirls, if the skill tree node is purchased, Eliza will stay in her Sekhmet form for 10 seconds if a blockbuster (Sekhmet's bite, Sekhmet's turn or Lady Of Slaughter) is used.She only crouches in pain before returning to normal. Sekhmet does not suffer from attacks in battle.Hitting Sekhmet with a snapback always gives a bounce back for a punish rather than forcing her off screen, but causes 75% scaling. The opponent can break the armor and send Sekhmet back to Eliza only by landing a throw, snapback, or burst. Sekhmet has unlimited armor, even against sweep attacks.Sekhmet is also unable to perform a Blockbuster alone if Eliza hasn't used her taunt move first. She will retreat when grabbed by the opponent or if Eliza's meter is empty, but can also be called back manually. Sekhmet moves much faster in addition to having the ability to lunge, and posses an armor that prevents flinching while under attack for a certain number of hits. Her general lack of speed is balanced out by a second form of attack that allows Sekhmet to act alone, and make use of several perks that drain Eliza's meter over time. While Eliza displays a more calm and collected, but still psychotic, personality, Sekhmet is much more feral and brash. ![]() Once the Medicis found out about all this, though, they blackmailed her into using her unusual, and bloody talents to retrieve the Skull Heart for them. For years Eliza has always held charity blood drives, but what nobody knows is that the blood is to feed Sekhmet and preserve her beauty. However, that doesn't mean she still doesn't need to be fed. Sekhmet is entirely internal and cannot be seen. Eliza has been the host to the skeletal Parasite Sekhmet for ages. ![]() It’s not determined by how good you think you’ve built the systems to communicate with each other. You have a better idea of the green and the red and a lot less in the middle where you’re willing to balance the equation. You’re enabling those services to make really good judgments and reduce that whole idea of the grey. You’ve got passive behavioral biometrics with profiling and all the data analytics on the backend. You see when they’re coming in, when they’re resetting it, what they’re trying to do. And what that means is you’re continuously looking at information along the journey of the individual. So instead of just having the green at the front door zero trust identity is in there. You’re getting a lot more analytics and information. So we’re going to try to figure out how we want to run within that space. We don’t know enough about this middle, and it’s gray. When you try to figure out your risk posture, you say, okay, this is green we know that. Matt: You can’t limit the idea on credentials as being the only thing that determines whether or not something is risky. How do you see that? Is that a silver bullet that’s going to help address 80% of the risk? So let’s introduce FIDO2 and Webauthn, what everybody is talking about. There are still many areas in the identity lifecycle that you were thinking about - from account origination and KYC processes to continual risk and analysis. So if you are still limiting yourself to something that no longer makes sense to secure at scale, get out of that whole routine.Ī lot of other passwordless solutions bring them in by saying, “Here’s a password, reset it, and this will be your fallback anytime you have an issue, and if you forget how to get into your account, we’re going to reset with a password.”Ĭraig: Also, passwordless is one piece to strengthening credentials. We’re in a different place now with our devices, services and analytics and on the backend. So if we’re thinking about passwordless, the idea is to expand the scope past that limitation. Matt Nunn with Citigroup: If you think of why we had passwords and pins, the reason is: the only interface you had in the computing environment for the individuals to use was a keyboard, right? And you had to have something to try to identify what was going on and how they were interacting. It’s trimmed down to give you the most valuable information from their Q&A:Ĭraig Currim with Transmit Security: Matt, tell us, why do you think passwordless matters? Or keep reading to get the best highlights of their talk. ![]() If you have an all-access pass to Gartner IAM, you can re-play their full session. How to start with one pain point and expand further.Advice on shrinking the gray area between “good” and “bad”.Why and how to secure the full identity journey.Matt Nunn gave attendees illuminating and tactical advice, loaded with real-world scenarios. We certainly couldn’t do it without a customer like Citi, willing to share their story. Gartner organizers said it was in the top three talks at the event. In a conversational session, “Rolling Out Passwordless to 200 Million Banking Clients in 160 Countries,” Transmit Security’s SVP Field CTO Craig Currim sat down with Citi’s Director and Global Head of Identity & Access Management Engineering Matt Nunn. And that’s certainly the case with Citigroup. It’s a journey that warrants strategic tips and insights from security experts with hands-on experience, preferably those who’ve achieved large-scale success. If drawing a crowd at Gartner IAM is proof, it’s fair to conclude: identity professionals are hungry to hear from other companies that have crossed the chasm - from risky passwords to passwordless customer authentication. ![]() The video refresh rate on both is variable and up to 120 Hz (twice the previous speed).

There was no shutdown during the terror attacks of Sept. Las Vegas is a city known to persist through tough times. Ethan Miller / Getty Images Ripple effects "We've never seen anything like this before." The Paris Las Vegas was dark on Thursday, March 19, 2020, including its 50-story replica Eiffel Tower. "It's unprecedented," said David Schwartz, a gambling historian and a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The last time the Las Vegas Strip closed was in 1963 during President John F. "We're trying to get everyone the help that they need," Rosa Mendez, a spokeswoman for the agency, said. The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation increased its hours to accommodate the influx. In the third week of March, 6,356 initial unemployment claims were filed in Nevada, nearly triple the number of the previous week and the largest week-to-week spike in claims since 1987, when record-keeping began, state officials announced Saturday. As of Monday afternoon, there were 245 reported coronavirus cases in the state and four deaths.Īccording to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, about 367,900 jobs were supported by tourism in southern Nevada, equal to 37.6 percent of the workforce, in 2018. ![]() ![]() Steve Sisolak's statewide order last Tuesday shutting down casinos and restaurants for 30 days - which police began enforcing Friday - came after health officials reported the state's first coronavirus death, a Clark County man in his 60s. According to the American Gaming Association, at least 973 commercial and tribal casinos - or 98 percent of all gaming properties in the United State - have closed, directly affecting about 649,000 casino gaming employees. The pandemic has caused a wave of restaurant, bar and casino closures across the country, as state officials from California to Vermont have scrambled to reduce large gatherings of people to limit the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. Alex Campagno An 'unprecedented' shutdown "Everything that should have been lit was dark." Roshy Rivera worked as a bartender for 12 years at Casa Di Amore. "Be that nosy parent, that's all we ask," he said."Everything was just dark," Rivera said. Check their backpacks and their social media profiles. Have conversations with your children about what is right and not right, Zink urged. He also recommended writing down the serial numbers of all your weapons so if they are stolen, you can more easily report the theft. Specifically, he cautioned against leaving your gun in your car overnight. Parents who want to prevent similar incidents can be responsible gun owners, he said. Zink urged parents to talk to their kids about guns and encourage them to notify an adult if they see something at school that shouldn't be there. If there had been an emergency, parents blocking the road could have delayed first responders getting to the school. He added that, in these situations, rumors can spread quickly on social media and cause concern for parents, but parents should not drive to their child's school when it's on lockdown. So far this school year, Zink said CCSD Police have recovered 23 firearms brought to schools. ![]() Bryan Zink, public information officer for the Clark County School District Police Department, gives an update after Desert Oasis High School was placed on lockdown Wednesday, Mawhile police investigated reports that a student brought a gun to campus. |
