![]() Stuart has published more than thirty books, many of which now appear in several foreign-language editions. In 2010, he co-founded Valley Spirit Arts with Patrick Gross to publish his books and DVDs and is the head teacher at the Sanctuary of Tao in Phoenix, Arizona, where he focuses on translating various Taoist texts, conducting lectures, leading retreats, and teaching. He has studied and practiced Taoism and Chinese Buddhism for more than forty years. Stuart Alve Olson is a teacher, translator, and writer on Taoist philosophy, health, and internal arts. These new editions of the Book of Sun and Moon provide a distinctly Daoist perspective on the work, which sets them apart from the majority of other translations of the I Ching that contain commentaries based on Confucian ideals and philosophy. Volume II contains the translations of the original Book of Sun and Moon, along with specific correlations for the hexagrams and trigrams for interpretation, as well as Stuart Alve Olson's commentaries derived from various Chinese sources. Volume I contains background historical information and explanations of the I Ching's construction and uses for divination and calculation. Without applying both intuition and logic, however, you are only receiving half the picture and limiting the amount of information the Book of Sun and Moon can provide. Some questions put to the Book of Sun and Moon may only seem to need an understanding of the oracle portion, while others may only seem to require the use of logic and calculation. ![]() Hence, the Book of Sun and Moon provides the main tools for both. ![]() The images are the clues and tracks, and a good detective or tracker needs not only tools of deduction and observation, but also a strong sense of intuition. Using the Book of Sun and Moon is like being a detective or tracker. Its ability to calculate and determine possible outcomes for any situation involves examining the logical correlations associated with each of the hexagrams and what images they change into and head toward. Its use in divination means to apply intuition concerning the oracle of the hexagrams (the sixty-four images of broken and unbroken Yin-and-Yang lines). The Book of Sun and Moon, an alternative-though accurate-translation for the title of the I Ching, is both a book of divination and calculation.

![]() Thus there is no possible way to be work independent of the path for a given state of the system. This means the state of the system has changed. This equation is derived by simply dividing both sides of the equation for work done by the time taken. SI Unit: Watt (W) Power can also be defined in terms of force and velocity. Formula: Power Work done (J) / Time taken (s) Simplified formula: P W.D. If you change the path, you change the temperature of the system (since for an isothermal process $PV=constant$). Power is mathematically defined as the work done divided by the time taken. The above equation states that for a given temperature, work depends on initial and final volumes only along a single path. I.e., the work done is equal to the heat added to the system and is hence non-zero (since for an isothermal process heat transfer takes place so as to maintain a constant temperature) which means it is not a function of state. On completing a cycle, the internal energy returns to the original state so that $dU=0$. This can be proved by first law of thermodynamics which states that: This means it is not a function of state. i.e., when you return to the original state, the work done is not zero. The area enclosed by the curve gives the net work done over a complete cycle. As you can see the wok done along the two paths is clearly not the same. Here the area under graph gives the work done for the process. ![]() Now you return along some another path, say, path 2. The area under this graph gives the work done. Suppose at first you go along path 1 from $(P_2,V_2)$ to $(P_1,V_1)$. But when you consider a reversible cyclic process and draw a $P-V$ diagram of it, as shown below: $$W=\int_\right)$$Īt first sight one may see that the work done depends only on the initial and final states of volume and hence is path independent and is a state function. The work done is (assuming an isothermal process) Where $P$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $T$ the temperature and $n$ the number of moles of gas particles.

The paper then presents several data-embedding algorithms, with examples, based on these fundamental methods. Given objects consisting of points, lines, (connected) polygons, or curved surfaces, the algorithms described in this paper produce polygonal models with data embedded into either their vertex coordinates, their vertex topology (connectivity), or both.Ī description of the background and requirements is followed by a discussion of where, and by what fundamental methods, data can be embedded into 3D polygonal models. This paper discusses techniques for embedding data into 3D models. Applications of such data embedding include copyright identification, theft deterrence, and inventory. The recent popularity of digital media such as CD-ROM and the Internet has prompted exploration of techniques for embedding data, either visibly or invisibly, into text, image, and audio objects. ![]() How to wear the common medical/surgical masks: You ideally want IIR but type 1 is better than nothing. Level 3 is best but level 1 should still help.ĮN14683 Type I, II, IIR.

Viruses are smaller than bacteria so if the mask my not offer sufficient protection if it only lists a BFE but no PFE. You want a high PFE (Particle Filtration Efficiency) for your medical/surgical mask. These can protect from some viruses but unless they specifically advertise that they protect from virus, they are expected to be less efficient than standard medical/surgical masks but can decrease likelihood of getting disease.īFE/PFE ratings. If you're regularly working in tear gas, you'll want a proper respirator. ![]() Unless you happen to be a journalist who got one through your company, you'll probably get in trouble with the police for having one (note that it is not illegal but that doesn't really matter to the police).įor the standard person, surgical masks are probably the best bet but if you are slightly more concerned about tear gas, you can get the appropriate N95 variant. NBC full face respirators - The best possible tear gas protection you can reasonably buy. Full face respirators by 3M offer more protection for your face from tear gas irritants but may prevent you from using eyewear, helmets, etc that offer ballistic protection. You will also attract police attention for having one in your possession so it is not a good idea to wear these unless actually working in tear gas. N95 mask with exhale valve - Provides slightly better protection than the non-valve N95 masks against tear gas and air pollution but it is unclear if they are better or worse than N95 healthcare masks against pathogens.ģM half face respirators - With the correct filters that are certified for P100, organic vapor and multi-gas, you'll get good protection against tear gas, air pollution and pathogens. N95 healthcare masks (usually green) - These masks have equivalent protection from tear gas and air pollution to the construction masks but are slightly better at protecting from fluid borne pathogens. Protection against dioxins, cyanide and other non-particle chemicals released by tear gas is almost nonexistent. N95 construction masks without exhale valve (usually white or labelled OH&ES) - These masks can protect from approximately 99.6% of pathogens and are slightly more effective against tear gas particles and air pollution than surgical masks. Check for a BFE or PFE rating on the packaging. Some molded masks and tissue masks may be branded as surgical or medical exam masks so be careful. They will often indicate having multiple layers and/or protecting from fluids. These are the easiest to find and probably the safest to wear in terms of not attracting police attention. Soft medical/surgical masks - These can protect from approximately 95% of pathogens and are better than nothing when facing tear gas and air pollution. The main advantage is comfort but protection is almost nonexistent.Īctivated charcoal or cotton masks - These have a bit of protection against air pollution but almost zero protection against pathogens and tear gas. Black ones are usually worn to conceal identity and show solidarity with the protest movement. Pitta and other polyurethane masks - These are designed to protect from pollen and provide little to no protection from viruses, air pollution and tear gas.
