![]() ![]() Penguin Random House relaunched Book Country, Penguin's online writing community, on July 29, 2013. Markus Dohle was named CEO of the new company, which had more than 10,000 employees worldwide with over 250 imprints and publishing houses and a publishing list of more than 15,000 new titles a year. Jane Ciabattari of Library Journal has referred to this merger as the publishing industry's response to the increasing dominance of in the book market. Bertelsmann and Pearson, the parent companies, initially owned 53% and 47%, respectively. Penguin Random House was formed on July 1, 2013, by Markus Dohle upon the completion of a £2.4 billion transaction between Bertelsmann and Pearson to merge their respective trade publishing companies, Random House and Penguin Group. ![]() The deal formally collapsed on November 22, 2022. Department of Justice sued to stop the deal on antitrust grounds, a suit that eventually succeeded on October 31, 2022. On November 25, 2020, The New York Times reported that Penguin Random House was planning to purchase Simon & Schuster from Paramount Global for $2.175 billion. Penguin Random House comprises Penguin and Random House in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, and India Penguin in Brazil, Asia and South Africa Dorling Kindersley worldwide and Random House's companies in Spain, Hispanic America, and Germany. These titles include fiction and nonfiction for adults and children in both print and digital. As of 2021, Penguin Random House employed about 10,000 people globally and published 15,000 titles annually under its 250 divisions and imprints. ![]()

If you do not feel brave enough to open space for a deep spiritual cleanse, then wait for a moment when you feel stronger in your energy. Unlike many crystals which are “candy for the eyes”, visually, Obsidian emanates silent energy which doesn’t automatically attract us towards it. When the time is right in your life, you will naturally feel a calling to work with Obsidian. Working simultaneously with crystals with polar energies will help you appreciate the beauty of balance! This law of polarity can be clarified through the consciousness of different crystals.įor example, the contrast between the darkness and density of Obsidian and the lightness and grace of Selenite, the crown chakra crystal, linking us to the angelic and spiritual realm. As one state cannot truly be understood without a polar experience of the other. For one to understand the ying energy, one must experience the yang, and vice versa.Įach individual must first-hand experience the law of polarity as part of their spiritual evolution. In order to expand to new levels of enlightenment, ground work, or earthly lessons must be learnt. One’s spiritual journey to ascension can only continue to rise when the shadow work has been complete. Truth, the best expression to articulate Obsidian’s energy. But if you set the intention to face your shadows and prepare yourself for overcoming your most traumatic fears, it can be the stone that brings you the most transformational experience to your life. This experience can be frightening if you are not ready. Obsidian isn’t for the faint-hearted, its powerful gravitational pull gives it the ability to draw our deepest and darkest insecurities and demons.įor myself, it is one of the most intense stones to work with, so much so, I can sense it’s energy through my body on a physical level, like a heavy electric current, trying to unleash Pandora’s box by force! The dark sorcerer of the crystal world, Obsidian’s penetrating energy will take you on a deep-rooted journey of the underworld. The spiritual meaning of Obsidian is that it is the ultimate stone to confront your shadow self and enter the realm of darkness. ![]() Let’s explore its spirituality and wisdom a bit deeper, shall we? ![]() ![]() ![]() And you can track the status of your charge on the Lock Screen.

![]() The dialect is 19th century rural Hoosier). But no, there was a real model for Annie, Mary Alice "Allie" Smith, an actual white orphan who lived with the Riley's when the poet was growing up. (Reading the original 1885 poem made me also wonder whether Annie was originally black, which would nudge Raggedy Ann into the realm of cultural expropriation, like Elvis stealing the blues. Reading over tales of the Raggedy story origin, I start to suspect whether Gruelle's daughter ever played with the old doll at all, or whether it was all a commercial sham. Maybe that's my problem with Raggedy Ann and Andy-they have the aura of something borrowed, something artificial. It's like seeing the sun flash off water and suddenly remembering rafting down the River with Jim 'n Huck. It's a shocking memory to discover, this James Whitcomb Riley moment in early 1960s suburban Ohio. ![]() ![]() I had an odd, deja vu moment when I re-read "Little Orphan Annie." It begins:Īt which point I almost tensed up, because here my mother would tickle us and we would writhe with glee. That began in 1924, speaking of borrowing. Gruelle was a James Whitcomb Riley fan-everybody was, at the time-and the concept was something of a mash-up of his poems "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphan Annie." (The anti-vax movement sometimes uses Raggedy Ann as a symbol, another reason not to like the character). to honor Marcella after she died of an infected vaccination at 13. He told his daughter stories about the doll, supposedly, and set them down in a book to honor the girl. So where did this red, white and blue abomination come from? Raggedy Ann came first-star of a series of books, the outgrowth of an old doll decorated for his daughter by cartoonist Johnny Gruelle, a political cartoonist in downstate Arcola, Illinois. It was like a tattoo before tattoos were popular. It's all very jarring, as was the "I love you" written on a heart on his chest-adults consider it sentimental, but I seem to recall, as a child, viewing it as somehow risque, if not shameful, maybe because the doll had to be naked to see it. Plus he seems to be a sailor-he's got a sailor's hat, perched atop his head. Who doesn't hate clowns? With the triangular nose adding a jack-o-lantern effect, and while people might be okay with jack-o-lanterns, at Halloween, no child is so frightened as to want to cuddle up with one. So what's wrong with Raggedy Andy? Very clownlike, and clowns are out-of-fashion. You'd have to really hate a child to give him that. I immediately found the woebegone creature at right for $14.99 on the Target web site. While the Raggedy siblings, well, honestly, their continuing existence would have never crossed my mind if I hadn't come across this pair of Andys-Andi?-at the cute little resale shop that the Northbrook Historical Society runs in its basement. ![]() Okay, not "never."

Verstappen's win secured his first Formula One World Drivers' Championship of his career by eight points from Hamilton, and Red Bull Racing's first since 2013. That inquiry subsequently concluded that the race officials had misapplied the then-regulations due to human error, but confirmed the results. The FIA thus conducted an inquiry into the race which led to a restructuring of race control including the replacement of Michael Masi as race director and amendments to the safety car rules. However Verstappen was the eventual winner, overtaking Hamilton on the final lap after a controversial safety car restart in the last moments of the race. Hamilton led most of the race and appeared on course to win what would have been a record eighth World Drivers' Championship, having taken the lead at the start of the race at turn 1 on the first lap.

On a similar note, you can make a snowball if you take stone and snow, a banana by combining money and fruit, canvas by fabric and paint the list goes on for countless combinations. For example, if you take a tool and gardener, you will get a shovel – an item that is actually the product of these two similar elements. Little Alchemy 2 is an educational game, and it takes root in the real world. Secondly, combine similar elements to maximize the chances of creating items. Hence, practice making items using two elements only first in Little Alchemy 2, then crank it up a notch once you get the hang of it. Of course, the more elements you start combining, the less will be your chances of creating an item. There are so many easy-to-predict outcomes if you just start taking two elements and combine them.

VBE – Base voltage with respect to ground minus emitter voltage with respect to ground (VB – VE)Ģ. Some NPN Transistor Principles and Technicalities:ġ. VC – collector voltage with respect to ground VE – emitter voltage with respect to groundġ3. VB – Base voltage with respect to groundġ2. Emitter current (I E) – current flowing through the emitterġ1. Collector current (I C) – current flowing through the collectorĥ. Base current (I B) – current flowing through the baseĤ. Current gain – the ratio of two currentsģ. Do not be confused as both of them refer to the current gain of a transistor particularly the ratio I C to I B.Ģ. Beta or HFE – Beta and HFE are used interchangeably by manufacturers. These rely on the amount of base current. Once the NPN transistor is ON, you can set its operation mode whether amplifier or switch. The base and collector current of NPN transistor is related by the term beta (β). The amount of collector current will strongly depends on the level of the base current as long as the operation is in active region. ![]() Once VBE is overcome, being a current controlled device will take place. However, the variation on the VBE if not properly considered will jeopardize the transistor operation as the base current will change and then there will be change on the collector current as well, when operating in the active region. In usual applications the applied voltage to the base is always much higher than the VBEsat, thus the VBEsat variation may not a problem. (Some datasheet uses VBEsat to define base-emitter voltage). For instance BC817-25 of NXP semiconductors, VBEsat varies with temperature and collector current. In actual application, VBE must be based on the datasheet of the transistor used. The voltage needed to overcome the base-emitter junction (VBE in short) is same with a diode drop around 0.7V. To turn on a transistor, the base-emitter junction must overcome. With this property, it is now obvious that you need a resistor in series with the base to set the level of current flowing through the base.Īctually, there are only two general things to remember in dealing with NPN transistor principles:Īt first, you need to turn on the transistor before the current can flow to the base. It is not the level of the voltage applied to the base but the amount of current flowing to the base that makes the transistor to operate. What this means? This means, it needed a current flow to its base for it to function normally as expected. NPN Transistor Principles and Electrical Propertyīipolar junction transistor in general is a current controlled device. NPN transistors are useful in logic implementations, electronic switches, relay drivers, motor drivers and amplifier applications. For instance the popular small power, NPN transistor BC817 by NXP has several packages as below.Ĭredit to the owner of this photo Some NPN power packages are: NPN transistor nowadays comes in variety of packages. ![]() For a diode, anode is basically the positive terminal while cathode is the negative terminal and NPN transistor has two diodes with connected anodes as the P type material is sandwich by two N type materials. NPN transistor is can be viewed as two diodes with connected anodes as below figure. In the N type material, negative charge is dominant while positive charge is dominant in the P type material. There are two N type materials sandwiching the P type material. NPN transistors are using below structure to define its material composition. NPN transistors are using below schematic symbols. NPN transistor is the name given to a bipolar junction transistor with two N type materials or negative carriers while there is only one P type material or positive carrier. Universities are covering this topic very well but despite I still attempt to discuss NPN transistor principles that I think easier to understand for non technical people. ![]() ![]() If a field value is a number, it is assumed that the distance is in the linear unit of the input's spatial reference (unless the input is in a geographic coordinate system, in which case, the value is assumed to be in meters). If a field from the input is used to obtain buffer distances, the field's values can be either a number (5, for example) or a number with a valid linear unit (5 kilometers, for example). A warning message will appear, and no null geometry features will be written to the output feature class. If the negative buffer distance is large enough to collapse the polygon to nothing, a null geometry will be generated. Using a negative buffer distance will reduce the polygons' boundaries by the distance specified. When buffering polygon features, negative buffer distances can be used to create buffers inside the polygon features. If a Dissolve Type value of All or List is used, the output will not include this field. If a field named ORIG_FID exists in the input, its values will be overwritten in the output. The output feature class will include a ORIG_FID field that contains the feature ID of the input feature for which the buffer was created. If a field named BUFF_DIST exists in the input, its values will be overwritten in the output. When using the Geodesic method to create buffers, the buffer distance entered will be converted to meters. The output feature class will include a BUFF_DIST field that contains the buffer distance used to buffer each feature in the linear unit of the input's coordinate system. If you project circular arcs, use the Densify tool to convert the circular arcs to straight lines then project the densified buffers. The shape of the buffers will not change, and the projected buffers will not accurately represent the area covered by the original buffer. If circular arcs are projected to a different coordinate system, the location and size of the original buffers will be transformed. When the input is a point feature class, the output will always be circular arcs. If the input is a projected coordinate system and the output is a geodatabase feature class, the output may contain circular arc segments. When using the Planar method, you can improve the accuracy of buffers created with projected inputs using a projection that minimizes distance distortion, such as an Equidistant Conic or an Azimuthal Equidistant projection, and is geographically appropriate for your input. You can change the coordinate system of a feature class using the Project tool, or you can set the Output Coordinate System environment before executing the Buffer tool, and this coordinate system will be used when creating buffers. However, the result is a buffer that more accurately matches the shape of the input feature. In some cases, this option may take more time than a geodesic buffer created using the Planar option. The input features are densified to create buffers that more accurately represent the shape of the input features.
