Bee with white and black stripes1/17/2024 The name “bumble bee” accurately describes their buzzing and sometimes clumsy movements while collecting pollen and nectar from flowers. There are 250 individual species of bumble bees, most of which have similar identifying features. Depending on the bumble bee species, they may have red or yellow tails. Bumble Bee ( Bombus)īumble bees can be identified by their fuzzy appearance and large black and yellow body with a white tailīumble bees are easy to spot with their round fuzzy bodies with black and yellow stripes and white tails. Honey bees can grow up to 1/2” (1.2 cm) long. Look for pollen baskets (corbicula) on their black hind legs. Western honey bees have a hairy brown-colored thorax and black and dark orange bands on their relatively smooth abdomen. These include the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana), the giant honey bee (Apis dorsata), and Koschevnikov’s honey bee (Apis koschevnikovi). Out of the 20,000 bee species worldwide, only eight belong to the honey bee genus Apis. Beekeepers prefer them for their non-aggressive behavior and abundant honey production. Western honey bees are also known as European honey bees, and they are the primary species used for honey production. Female honey bees have hind legs with pollen pouches used to transport pollen to the hive. Like all bees, honey bees have a body composed of three segments: head, thorax, and abdomen. Honey bees have three pairs of fuzzy black legs, a pair of antennae, and two pairs of wings. Western honey bees are easy to identify as they have a honey-colored look and a relatively smooth abdomen. Western honey bees have black and tan-yellow stripes on their slender bodies. The Western honey bee has black and orange-yellow bands on the abdomen and hair on the thorax Fascinatingly, there are even bee species that showcase captivating shiny green metallic hues. Certain bumble bee species exhibit black coloration, while others feature a combination of black, white, and yellow markings. Meanwhile, larger carpenter bees tend to be predominantly black. Many honey bees, for instance, display shades of brown or tan. The colors exhibited by bees vary across species. On the other hand, carpenter bees resemble bumblebees but are predominantly black, with shorter hairs. They have fuzzy bodies with black and yellow stripes and are larger compared to honey bees. While differentiating between bumble bees and honey bees may be relatively straightforward, distinguishing other bee species can be more difficult. However, bee identification can pose challenges as many species share similar characteristics. The identification of bee species relies on key factors such as shape, size, color, and habitats. With over 20,000 species, the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most well-known, renowned for its honey production. Most bee species are identifiable by their fuzzy bodies, often adorned with black and yellow or orange stripes. Our comprehensive bee identification chart will assist you in recognizing and distinguishing the identifying features of various types of bees.īees are small flying insects commonly found in summer gardens, buzzing from flower to flower.

Disco culture amp1/16/2024 That kind of gender play and refusal of gender and sexual categories, that overt homosexuality and sexuality, seemed strange, and here we are 30 years later and the world is starting to catch up. There’s a quote from him, when he was on stage, something like, ‘Folks think we’re strange but they’ll catch up.’ It feels to me that’s what’s happening. He was about being as fabulous as you can be, so I felt pushed to make the book the best I could get it to be. “There’s something about what he was about – being free and being fabulous – that is a very powerful energy that can linger,” Gamson says. He was part of it and produced the soundtrack to it.” (Much like he built off the Cockettes, others springboarded off his success – his backup singers, Two Tons O’ Fun, would later rename themselves The Weather Girls and record one of the all-time gay anthems, “It’s Raining Men.”) With disco, people were celebrating a kind of freedom he came to represent. He was in and around the Cockettes in the early ‘70s, and they were doing outrageous countercultural stuff. “He took what was going on in the communities he was a part of and elevated and exploded it for other people. There was Bowie, Grace Jones, and he came from communities of people doing some version of that - they just weren’t doing it in front of huge audiences,” Gamson says. He had hits on his own queer, gender-fucky terms. “He was certainly a pioneer, doing something people hadn’t been doing publicly, getting recognized for it and making it work. But if you were at a gay bar and he was in boy drag, that’s how you saw him. A lot of people first met him and thought he was a woman. He was not easily classified in terms of gender. Most people experienced him as male or just Sylvester. When I was interviewing people, they would sometimes refer to Sylvester as she and he. Sometimes he was male identified, other times Sylvester was full-on drag queen, but mostly it was some combination. “It was a fluid gender more than anything else. Sylvester’s gender identification “depended on what day you caught him,” Gamson says. Sylvester Was One of the First Openly Gender Fluid Musicians He turned things that were used to stigmatize him into assets.” “All these things that were the basis for marginalization, he turned into superstardom for a minute. “He was black, gay and some form of gender queer before there was that term,” Gamson says. Sylvester Turned Others’ Prejudices Into Assets To close out Pride Month, Billboard spoke with Joshua Gamson, author of the wonderful biography The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend, The Music, The Seventies in San Francisco, for a primer on the many ways Sylvester was a pioneer and remains an inspiration. But even 29 years after his death, his fearless, pioneering life remains a source of inspiration. Jennifer Lopez, Halsey, Brendon Urie, Senator Elizabeth Warren & More Pen 'Love Letters to the…īeing black and queer, Sylvester is often unfairly relegated to the status of minor footnote in pop history.

Just in time inventory1/16/2024 In another, they had full information about inventory quantities at every level in the channel. In one simulation, students had little knowledge of inventory levels other than those for the company they were managing. Fluctuating demand at the retail level would generate exaggerated fluctuations-a “whipsaw” effect-in expected demand and inventory planning at the back end, or manufacturing level, in an effort to meet possible future demand. In my approach, my Ohio State students managed inventory at various levels in a distribution channel. One thing that may have helped generate the HBS offer was an experiment I performed using my own crude version of what would become known as the “beer game.” One of my interests: The value of improved inventory information in a distribution channel on overall inventory levels and costs. "The result, of course, was what came to be known as 'just-in-time' inventory management, as championed by firms such as Toyota." In those days, there was fascination with air freight and the trade-off of inventory and transportation costs-as in spending more for air transport in order to spend less on owning inventory, thereby optimizing what we called the “total cost curve.” (I can still draw those curves in my sleep.) A plentiful supply of “safety stock” was the order of the day for those using slower forms of transportation. I was invited to join the HBS faculty not to teach marketing, service management, or general management, among my later teaching assignments, but to help breathe life into efforts to teach logistics. It’s a throwback to the days when railroad management was all the rage in the original Harvard Business School curriculum among those interested in studying business in 1908. Logistics issues have taken on unexpected and possibly unwanted “glamour” among those who study business and economics, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and its global aftermath.

Dota 2 new hero1/16/2024 If you're up against enemies with a lot of summons, then Maelstrom is also a good alternative. Your boots of choice will be Power Treads for the attack speed and your go-to item will be Witch Blade for attack speed and a lot of damage. Your item build for Muerta should focus on building attack speed and survivability. Of course, level up Pierce the Veil whenever possible. However, if your lane is relatively safe and you are free farming, then go with Gunslinger. If you are playing in a lane with a lot of action, then Dead Shot should be maxed first. The choice between maxing out Dead Shot or Gunslinger first will depend on your lane situation. Your skill build for Muerta should prioritize Dead Shot and Gunslinger with one value point in The Calling. Level 25: +25% magic resistance or +20% Gunslinger chance Level 20: The Calling summons 2 additional revenants or 2 Dead Shot charges Level 15: +25 damage or +250 Dead Shot cast range Level 10: +8 Strength or +100 Dead Shot damage While new heroes are often released alongside major updates, Muerta came with the 7.32e letter patch that only tweaked the numbers for certain heroes. Those points can then be traded for the new Dead Reckoning Chests, which includes new event-themed cosmetic item sets. Players will get an assigned target at the start of every game and will score points for kills and assists on their targets. Primal Beast, the game's 123rd hero, was released in the 7.31 update back in February 2022.Īccompanying Muerta's release will be the Dead Reckoning minigame, which will be active in the game from 6 March to 4 April. She is now the 124th hero in Dota 2's expansive roster of unique playable characters. Muerta was first teased in the final day of The International 11 (TI11), last year's iteration of Dota 2's annual world championship tournament that was held last October in Singapore. She can then use her ultimate and transform into a fearsome revenant of death that deals magic damage and is immune to physical damage. Muerta is an intelligence carry hero that can deal damage to multiple enemies through trickshots, summoned spirits, and gunplay. (Photo: Valve Software)ĭota 2's latest hero, Muerta, has finally been released alongside the 7.32e update, titled the Dead Reckoning Update, on Tuesday (7 March). This new update will cost 1.89GB data.ĭota 2 is now available on Steam for free.Muerta has finally joined Dota 2's expansive roster of heroes in the 7.32e update.

Sign up for Us Weekly's free, daily newsletter and never miss breaking news or exclusive stories about your favorite celebrities, TV shows and more! “When they announced at the reunion that they had broken it up - it was a bit empowering because when you’re trying to figure out what to do and you see other people be strong and their convictions like that, you’re like, ‘All right, I can do it, I can do it,'” the Utah native exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2022. Maloney’s decision to focus on her own future became more clear after costar Raquel Leviss ended her engagement to James Kennedy. I felt like I was drifting further and further away.” That’s just what everything inside of me was saying, I thought it got to a point where I just felt like I was going to burst,” she explained on her podcast. “I realized that I had to really start prioritizing myself and my happiness as well.

Solving systems by graphing1/16/2024 If we represent these answers as ordered pairs (x,y), then we have (5,2) and (3,4) as two points on the plane that represent answers to the equation x + y = 7.Īll possible answers to this equation, located as points on the plane, will give us the graph (or picture) of the equation. Also, if x = 3 then y = 4, since 3 + 4 = 7. For instance, if x = 5 then y - 2, since 5 + 2 = 7. In other words, we will sketch a picture of an equation in two variables.Ĭonsider the equation x + y - 7 and note that we can easily find many solutions. In this section we will discuss the method of graphing an equation in two variables. Graphs are used because a picture usually makes the number facts more easily understood. You can usually find examples of these graphs in the financial section of a newspaper. There are many types of graphs, such as bar graphs, circular graphs, line graphs, and so on. Draw a straight line through those points that represent the graph of this equation.Ī graph is a pictorial representation of numbered facts.Locate these points on the Cartesian coordinate system.Find several ordered pairs that make a given linear equation true.Check each one to determine how they are located. The first number of the ordered pair always refers to the horizontal direction and the second number always refers to the vertical direction.Įxample 1 On the following Cartesian coordinate system the points A (3,4), B (0,5), C (-2,7), D (-4,1), E (-3,-4), F (4,-2), G (0,-5), and H (-6,0) are designated. The numbers represented by x and y are called the coordinates of the point (x,y). Ordered pairs are always written with x first and then y, (x,y). Second, from the point on the x-axis given by the first number count up or down the number of spaces designated by the second number of the ordered pair. Points are located on the plane in the following manner.įirst, start at the origin and count left or right the number of spaces designated by the first number of the ordered pair. The ordered pair (5,7) is not the same as the ordered pair (7,5). This is called an ordered pair because the order in which the numbers are written is important. Points on the plane are designated by ordered pairs of numbers written in parentheses with a comma between them, such as (5,7). These are numbered in a counterclockwise direction starting at the upper right. The plane is divided into four parts called quadrants. Thus the plane extends indefinitely in all directions. The arrows indicate the number lines extend indefinitely. Positive is to the right and up negative is to the left and down. The zero point at which they are perpendicular is called the origin. The horizontal line is the x-axis and the vertical is the y-axis. Study the diagram carefully as you note each of the following facts. Perpendicular means that two lines are at right angles to each other. This system is composed of two number lines that are perpendicular at their zero points. This scheme is called the Cartesian coordinate system (for Descartes) and is sometimes referred to as the rectangular coordinate system. Rene Descartes (1596-1650) devised a method of relating points on a plane to algebraic numbers. Note that this concept contains elements from two fields of mathematics, the line from geometry and the numbers from algebra. We have already used the number line on which we have represented numbers as points on a line. Given a point on the Cartesian coordinate system, state the ordered pair associated with it.Given an ordered pair, locate that point on the Cartesian coordinate system.Represent the Cartesian coordinate system and identify the origin and axes.Upon completing this section you should be able to: We will now study methods of solving systems of equations consisting of two equations and two variables. In previous chapters we solved equations with one unknown or variable.

Cvs covid vaccine booster appointment1/16/2024 WCAG is a set of voluntary industry guidelines for making information on a website accessible to users with disabilities. Under today’s settlement, CVS will conform web content about the COVID-19 vaccine, including the forms for scheduling an appointment to get the vaccine, to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Version 2.1, Level AA. “This office is committed to vigorously enforcing the ADA to eliminate unnecessary barriers that stand in the way of lifesaving care.” “While web accessibility is always important, when it comes to critical health services like COVID-19 vaccination, making sure that everyone - regardless of disability - can access information and care is essential,” said U.S. We will continue to work towards the ADA’s promise of equal access during the ongoing global pandemic.” “We are working aggressively to identify and remove barriers that prevent people with disabilities from privately and independently securing potentially life-saving COVID-19 vaccines. “Now more than ever, we must ensure web accessibility for people with disabilities seeking access to critical needs and services,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. Additionally, people who use the “Tab” key instead of a mouse to navigate websites were not able to navigate past a request for insurance information in the registration process. Further, on the page where users pick a time for their appointment, screen reader users were told that all available times were “checked,” even though the user had not made any selection. For instance, the types of vaccine appointments offered (which included influenza, pneumonia, and others, in addition to the COVID-19 vaccine) were not read audibly to screen reader users at the beginning of the scheduling process. The department found that CVS’s COVID-19 vaccine registration portal, currently located at, was not accessible to people with certain disabilities, including those who use screen reader software or have trouble using a mouse. Today’s resolution is the department’s fifth agreement on the critical issue of COVID-19 vaccination website accessibility, following settlement announcements with Rite Aid Corporation, Hy-Vee Inc., The Kroger Co. CVS is the country’s largest retail pharmacy, with nearly 10,000 locations. Attorney’s Office for the District of Rhode Island today announced a settlement agreement with CVS Pharmacy Inc., under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that will eliminate barriers preventing people with certain disabilities from getting information about COVID-19 vaccinations and booking vaccination appointments online. |
