Next, reserve a table for an early dinner at Crown’s Spice Temple, where you will be treated to a feast of auspicious dishes. For an appropriate conclusion to your NGV Lunar New Year celebration, collect complimentary red envelopes from the Design Store while securing the perfect gifts for family and friends. To relax and recuperate, grab a drink and a small bite to eat and enjoy a live DJ set with Vivian Vo, aka “Small FRY”. This collection, the result of the ongoing efforts of Senior Curator Wayne Crothers, charts more than 5,000 years of history, from the ceramics and jades of the Neolithic Age to the works of leading contemporary artists and designers. To gain a greater understanding of the cultural and artistic practices of the complex and dynamic region of Asia, partake in a guided tour of the NGV’s Asian Art Collection. Two performances are scheduled for 1:30pm and 2:15pm. The Hong De Lion Dance Association will dazzle spectators with its version of the high-energy, cacophonous dragon dance. There is also the opportunity to behold Melbourne-based Chinese artist Echo Wu as she demonstrates a performative Chinese brush-painting technique. Guests are encouraged to get creative by joining drawing activities for both kids and the whole family, alike, in the Great Hall. On Saturday, February 5, from 10am until 3pm, the National Gallery of Victoria invites Lunar New Year revelers to enjoy a day of art, food and music, as well as complimentary art-making activities for kids. With Lunar New Year 2022 officially kicking off on Tuesday, February 1, a quintessential day of celebration has been curated by three of the city’s most popular entities – the NGV, the MSO and Spice Temple at Crown. Furthermore, Tigers possess a keen sense of justice and a commitment to help others so as to foster the greater good. People born in the Year of the Tiger are courageous, brave, active, vigorous, ambitious, daring, enthusiastic, generous, confident and maintain a healthy appreciation for a proper challenge and the more adventurous aspects of life. As such, Lunar New Year 2022 marks the end of the Year of the Ox and the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, the third animal in the Chinese zodiac. Lunar New Year, also referred to as Spring Festival, celebrates the transition from one animal to the next. The 12 animals correspond to a repeating 12-year cycle based on the lunar calendar. In order from first to last, the results were as follows: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. The order in which the animals finished determined their place in the zodiac. According to legend, the Jade Emperor summoned all of the animals to his palace in order to participate in a great race, of sorts. The Chinese zodiac is based on the idea of zoolatry, or animal worship, and dates back to the Qin Dynasty – more than 2,000 years ago.

The wave set-up is proportional to the wave height at breaking. This is a local elevation in the mean water level on the foreshore, caused by the reduction in wave height through the surf-zone. Wave set-up is a very important phenomenon in the surf-zone hydrodynamics. Wave-overtopping of breakwater in nature. This form of breaking takes place when relatively long waves (swell) meet steep shorefaces.įig. Surging is when the lower part of the wave surges up on the foreshore in which case there is hardly any surf-zone.This form of breaking takes place in cases of moderately steep waves on moderately sloping shorefaces. Plunging is the form of breaking where the upper part of the wave breaks over its own lower part in one big splash whereby most of the energy is lost.Spilling breaking is a gradual breaking which takes place as a foam bore on the front topside of the wave over a distance of 6– 7 wavelengths. Spilling takes place when steep waves propagate over flat shorefaces.Breaking waves are generally divided into three main types, depending on the steepness of the waves and the slope of the shoreface: As a rule of thumb, the wave height of an individual wave at breaking is often said to be around 80% of the water depth, but this is a very approximate figure. Friction is of special importance over large areas with shallow water.ĭepth-induced wave-breaking of individual waves starts when the wave height becomes greater than a certain fraction of the water depth. The shoaling causes a reduction in the wave propagation velocity as well as shortening and steeping of the waves.īottom friction causes energy dissipation and thereby wave height reduction as the water depth becomes more and more shallow. Shoaling is the deformation of the waves, which starts when the water depth becomes less than about half the wavelength. 7/24/2023 0 Comments Facts about tokyo towerAt the main deck we were greeted by a robot: The mysterious ball is on display in the museum:Īfter checking out the museum we then took the elevator to the main viewing deck. The antenna had not been replaced since its construction in 1958, so who ever put the ball there did it during its construction period in the 1950’s. There was also a display that showed how a baseball was found 306 meters high inside the antenna during maintenance to replace the antenna in 2012: They also had a model that showed what the small hill Tokyo Tower sits on looked like before its construction: More random facts about Tokyo Tower can be read at this link.īesides facts about the tower the museum also had a model of Tokyo Tower made of jewels: This led to the construction of the much taller Tokyo Skytree which is 634 meters (2,080 feet) high that was completed in 2012. The tower was long the primary source of radio and television signals in the Tokyo area, however it was too small to broadcast digital television. The tower was inspired by the Eiffel Tower, but painted in the colors that comply with air safety regulations. We learned that Tokyo Tower was built in 1958 as communications tower and was 333 meters (1,092 feet) high. I bought a ticket package that let us visit both decks for 3,000 yen for adults and 2,000 yen for children.īefore we headed up the elevator to the main viewing deck we checked out the small museum at the base of the tower. The main viewing deck is 150 meters (490 feet) high while the smaller top viewing deck is 250 (819 feet) meters high. Just like Skytree, Tokyo Tower has different ticket options due to having two different viewing decks. The entrance to the tower is extremely busy and crowded, but we figured out pretty easily where to go to buy tickets. As my family and I walked up the steps from the underground lot we were welcomed with this iconic view of Tokyo Tower:Īfter emerging out of the underground parking lot we then had a short walk up a small hill to the entrance of Tokyo Tower: Even after getting off the highway and parking in the underground lot was not too bad. The tower is located near central Tokyo and I found the drive into town on the Tomei Expressway to be pretty easy. I have been asked before if the Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Tower is the best place to go to get views of Tokyo? I have taken my family to visit the Tokyo Skytree before, so to settle this question I loaded up my family and traveled over to Tokyo Tower. The parking lot is open from 9:00 to 23:00. Parking cost 600 yen for the first one hour and 300 yen for every additional 30 minutes after the first hour. More information about either subway or bus access to Tokyo Tower can be found at this link.įor those looking to drive to Tokyo Tower like I did, I actually found there was plenty of parking at the underground parking garage adjacent to the tower. The closest station is Akabanebashi Station. There are multiple subway stations located within walking distance of the tower. Tokyo Tower is easily accessible via subway.
That upped performance in the Heaven benchmark to an average 58.6 frames per second and a maxed turbo clock speed of 1433 MHz.ĭo you think the Matrix 980 Ti could do better? You bet it could. With about an hour of tinkering, I got the EVGA card to a stable overclock of +100 MHz on the GPU and +400 on the memory, with 56mv of extra voltage. In the Unigine Heaven benchmark, there was a more pronounced difference: 48.8 fps for the EVGA, 56 fps for the Matrix 980 Ti. The Matrix again did a few frames better at 39.6 fps average. In GTA5, the EVGA card turned in an average of 35.9 fps at 1440p with every graphics setting and advanced graphics setting turned all the way up, including 8x MSAA. Storage: Plextor M6e SSD, OCZ Vector 180 SSD Out of the box, the Matrix’s base clock is set at 1190 MHz and it turbos as high as 1317 MHz.Ĭooler: Enermax Liqtech 240 closed-loop liquid It easily blew past my EVGA 980 Ti SC Gaming ACX 2.0, which is already overclocked at 1102 MHz (that’s 102 MHz faster than the reference card’s GPU) and turbos to 1190 MHz. After spending some time testing the Matrix 980 Ti, I can imagine hardcore overclockers having a field day with this thing. Unlike some oversized aftermarket cards that use all that space for three air coolers, the Matrix 980 Ti sticks with two fans and Asus’ tried-and-true DirectCU II copper heatpipe system. And it’s a massive card by modern Nvidia standards, three slots wide and 11.5 inches long. The Matrix is Asus’s roided out top-end version of the 980 Ti, factory overclocked well beyond the average card with more headroom above that. It will ensure that we have consistent results.The Asus Matrix 980 Ti doesn’t just say “look at me: I’m worth a lot of money.” It screams it while flexing the graphics card equivalent of its biceps so hard it threatens to rip its shirt. *** Because that's the default setting, enabling it would be considered a driver tweak, and it might have a significant impact on scores. ** Because that would be considered a driver tweak, and it can have a significant impact on scores. * Because AMD optimized tessellation, shader cache, and surface format optimization are the default settings, and none of them have a significant impact on scores.

7/23/2023 0 Comments Body language examplesWhile you don’t want to stare down your interviewer, eye contact is critical for making a connection and showing respect. Eye contact is a crucial element of business etiquette in general, and it’s essential in a job interview. However, don’t fidget, shake your leg, tap your fingers, or play with a pencil. Hand gestures during the conversation are fine and can even convey enthusiasm. Also, while your handshake shouldn’t be limp, don’t overcompensate with a crushing squeeze. If they extend a hand first, respond immediately so you don’t leave them hanging. Reach out to your interviewer with a firm handshake. It’s OK to practice facial expressions in the mirror to project the visage you want. However, check your expressions in the mirror to see if your “concerned” and “thoughtful” faces look more like scowls. Avoid serving up a big grin when discussing serious topics. Smiles may only be appropriate during part of the job interview. Practice appropriate facial expressions.A warm, genuine smile makes everyone feel more comfortable, particularly at the beginning and end of an interview. Additionally, a slight lean forward conveys genuine interest. Good posture shows you’re engaged and paying attention. Here are some tips for making a positive impression without saying a word. Interview skills are more than telling a compelling story and selling hiring managers on your skills. Body language accounts for 55% of how others see us.Tone of voice accounts for 38% of how others see us.Spoken words account for 7% of how others see us.Mehrabian pointed to three crucial elements that affect how others see us: Psychologist Albert Mehrabian’s research is widely cited when discussing how critical body language and nonverbal communication are in our interactions with others. You may have all the skills employers want but come off as a poor candidate during an interview – and your nonverbal communication may be to blame. In an interview setting, it’s crucial to be aware of your body language in addition to what you say.Įmployers sometimes run background checks on potential new hires to confirm their identity, check for criminal records, verify education, and screen social media profiles for red flags. Nonverbal cues become part of a hiring manager’s overall impression of you. Did you send contradictory messages? Did you shake your head “no” when asserting something is true? Or did you nod your head “yes” when denying something? This behavior can make you appear confused or untruthful.
