![]() We’re encouraged that experts see the value of these features, including Boris Radanović, UK Safer Internet Centre, who said, “ We welcome Instagram’s new Take A Break feature, which we hope will be a meaningful way to encourage healthy social media use, particularly among younger users. The Take a Break reminders build on our existing time management tools including Daily Limit, which lets people know when they’ve reached the total amount of time they want to spend on Instagram each day, and offers the ability to mute notifications from Instagram. We’re launching this feature in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand today, and we’ll bring it to everyone by early next year. ![]() Early test results show that once teens set the reminders, more than 90% of them keep them on. We’re encouraged to see that teens are using Take A Break. To make sure that teens are aware of this feature, we’ll show them notifications suggesting they turn these reminders on. We’ll also show them expert-backed tips to help them reflect and reset. If someone has been scrolling for a certain amount of time, we’ll ask them to take a break from Instagram and suggest that they set reminders to take more breaks in the future. It’s important to me that people feel good about the time they spend on Instagram, so today we’re launching Take A Break to empower people to make informed decisions about how they’re spending their time. We’re also starting to test a new experience for teens to better manage their digital footprint on Instagram.We previously announced the development of Take A Break, and we’re launching it in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and Australia today.Providing Teens with More Tools to Better Manage Their Instagram Experience We’re also developing a new educational hub for parents and guardians that will include additional resources, like product tutorials and tips from experts, to help them discuss social media use with their teens. This is the first version of these tools we’ll continue to add more options over time. We’ll also give teens a new option to notify their parents if they report someone, giving their parents the opportunity to talk about it with them. Parents and guardians will be able to view how much time their teens spend on Instagram and set time limits. Parents and guardians know what’s best for their teens, so we plan to launch our first tools in March to help them guide and support their teens on Instagram. We’re introducing a new educational hub for parents and guardians.We’re launching our first tools for parents and guardians early next year.Involving Parents and Guardians in Their Teens’ Experience on Instagram This includes developing new tools for parents and guardians and launching Take A Break. Today, I’d like to clarify some of the work that we’ve been doing for a long time, and also lay out a few new things that we’ve been developing to meaningfully improve the experience on Instagram for teens, parents and guardians. We’ll continue doing research, consulting with experts, and testing new concepts to better serve teens. I want to make sure that it stays that way, which means above all keeping them safe on Instagram. I’m proud that our platform is a place where teens can spend time with the people they care about, explore their interests, and explore who they are. And we’ll have a new educational hub for parents and guardians.Įvery day I see the positive impact that Instagram has for young people everywhere. We’ll also launch our first tools for parents and guardians to see how much time their teens spend on Instagram and set time limits.We’ll take a stricter approach to what we recommend to teens on Instagram, we’ll stop people from tagging or mentioning teens that don’t follow them, we’ll nudge teens towards different topics if they’ve been dwelling on one topic for a long time, and we’re launching the Take A Break feature in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.As part of our ongoing youth safety work at Meta, today we’re announcing new tools and features to keep young people even safer on Instagram.

![]() Virtual reality and three-dimensional worlds and interactions are becoming increasingly common in consumer products and services. This, in turn, will help you design better products, services, or systems that enhance people’s lives. These courses will help you see that there are different factors at play in each of these areas and that these factors might be different from one person to the next. Naturally, understanding the various ways in which the processes of learning, perception, and thought unfold will help you be a better human factors and ergonomics psychologist. Humanism – which theorizes that we are all striving for self-actualization, and that functioning within a hierarchy of needs influences the way in which we learn, perceive, and think.Cognitive – which explains that human behavior is the result of the way we think.Connectivism – which posits that learning, perception, and cognition are influenced by the connections we make with other people and by the connections we make socially, at work, and in life in general.Constructivism – which is the idea that we learn and behave the way we do because of past experiences.Behaviorism – which espouses that we behave the way we behave because of our interactions with the environment.This course takes the concepts of learning, perception, and cognition and explores the various theories and perspectives that underlie their study.įor example, you might study the five primary psychological perspectives of learning, which include: As a result, you’ll need a deep understanding of these concepts if you are to have a successful career in human factors and ergonomics. Perspectives in Learning, Perception, and CognitionĪt the root of nearly all areas of human psyche are the components of learning, perception, and cognition. The list below will give you some insight into a handful of the most common classes that might be required to get a degree in human factors and ergonomics. While degree programs in this field vary somewhat from one school to the next and from one level to the next (i.e., bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate), there are some classes that are highly common. Of course, to have a career in the human factors or ergonomics space, you’ll first need to get a degree. Where buttons are located and how a person utilizes the app (i.e., via taps, swipes, or both) could be components that an ergonomics specialist oversees. The physical aspects of the app – how users interact with the interface – might instead be the responsibility of an ergonomics specialist. A human factors psychologist might be responsible for the aspects of the app that involve it being user-friendly and intuitive, pleasing to the eye, and enjoyable to use. ![]() So, let’s say you’re evaluating a case study in which a new smartphone app is being developed.

So much for that consistency.Īll this app did was help me learn how to use files and Google drive together to get what I need without any purchases or apps at all. Completely whimsied itself into thin air. Well, not even a full month in and anything I downloaded from The WinZip transfer files just vanished. But I figured if I use it a pretty long time I should still support it. So I wasn’t inclined to pay for free any more for that reason. I needed a difference, as well as consistency. So I stuck with free, deciding if the program made my zip-life significantly easier, I’d support with a subscription. I think the asking price isn’t much but I wasn’t ready to immediately pay for the program.

I was slightly interested in Alisa’s character due to the mech integration, but I’m trying to cut back on my figure spending so I picked getting Christie over Alisa. Christie was sculpted by Busujimax, who also sculpted Alisa from the Tekken series too. The detail in her outfit is superbly done as well, all the little honeycomb pattern is done neatly and well textured. I think the sculptor did an amazing job on Christie’s body sculpt, it is very detailed and very… tempting. If it sounds like a rant, it really isn’t – I can appreciate a girl’s decision in what she wears, especially if she has the body to show it off. Christie’s 1P outfit is definitely unique – it looks like she wrapped herself up with disco ball material but ran out. I guess one could argue this is less constricting for her when she’s fighting, as well as a decent distraction for an opponent of the opposite sex. You’d think someone that is trained in the fighting arts of Capoeira would wear something a little less revealing… all that movement and prancing about, mishaps must happen. That said, there’s also a lot of eye candy from the frontal view, and looking at her face may not be the first thing your eyes would pay attention to. I think the head position matches her body language, it looks as if she’s moving forward but looking back at an attack she just dodged. While I agree this hides her pretty face, but I don’t mind it much. One general complaint that people had (or have) that I’ve seen is the fact Christie’s head is pointed towards the back and looking downwards. The face here is really cute and matches her body language well. But I do have to admit I really like Christie’s face, maybe even moreso than her original realistic look. Well, maybe not boring, but it’s getting typical – they all look the same, just different bodies. Christie has the undeniable signature face by Yamashita Shunya, which I typically (or starting to) find boring. One look at the face and you know who the artist / designer is for this figure. And I thought Mai Shiranui’s bouncing boobs were distracting… Second, OMG is her fighting animation is ever annoying! All that bouncing and prancing around made my eyes so dizzy, but I guess that’s the point given her fighting style is Capoeira. ![]() ![]() The style and look is very similar to Christie’s design from Tekken 5 and up, though this version is supposedly based on Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Two things came to mind when I started playing Christie’s character: First, I can say that Kotobukiya did a great job pulling this one off. At least not until I got Christie’s figure, I thought I’d take a look at the game and see what this fighter was like. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a Tekken game until Tekken 6, which I got for Christmas a couple of years ago – even then, I never played the game. While I’m familiar with the title of Tekken ever since it came out, I was never all that into the game and story. I’m not that familiar with Christie myself, other than the fact that she’s one of the characters in the Tekken series (Tekken 4 and on). If you’re not familiar with Christie then don’t worry, you’re not alone. If you’re here reading this, then you probably already know who Christie is and are probably wondering whether this figure is a good buy or not. Yup, that’s how I’m gonna roll with this one. Don’t expect any witty comments (not that I had much to begin with) nor pretty pictures (not that I had much of that to begin with either) – that’s right, it’s all about the figure, plain and dry. As you follow through this review, please keep in mind I haven’t taken figure photos for awhile and I haven’t been writing much, so I’m really rusty with it all. The first figure I’m going to review will be Kotobukiya’s Christie Monteiro, from the Tekken game series. Particularly with all the interesting figures coming out this year, I just can’t sit back and do nothing anymore. But now that’s finally behind me, it’s time to get back on the saddle and write some reviews. I think it’s been about half a year since I’ve posted a figure review, after Skyrim was released, things were just a little different around here. ![]() Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely.

![]() The coastal taipan has two subspecies which are the Papuan taipan or the Oxyuranus scutellatus canni found throughout the New Guinea island’s southern portion and the coastal taipan or the Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus which is found in parts of Queensland, Northern Territory, and Western Australia. Untreated victims are sure to die since the coastal taipan hardly fails to deliver a lethal dose at a single bite. Death can occur 30 minutes to 2.5 hours after envenomation. The venom of this snake contains taicatoxin, a potent neurotoxin that damages the nervous system of the victim and also inhibits the blood clotting system. The snake feeds mainly on warm-blooded animals like small mammals and birds. The coastal taipans can be found in a wide range of habitats including monsoon forests, woodlands, wetter temperate to tropical coastal regions, etc. The ventral surface is usually creamy-white to pale light yellow in color. The body color of the snake varies from uniform light olive to reddish-brown to dark gray and black. Research has revealed several similarities between the black mamba of Africa and the coastal taipan including the long and narrow head of the species. Adults of this species can attain lengths up to 6.6 feet. The coastal taipan is Australia’s largest venomous snake and the world’s sixth-most venomous snake based on its murine LD50 value. ![]() The coastal taipan or the common taipan ( Oxyuranus scutellatus) is a big and extremely venomous snake that is native to northern and eastern Australia’s coastal regions and is also found on the island of New Guinea. The Central Ranges taipan is a large and agile snake that like the other taipan species possesses a highly toxic venom. This snake was recently described in 2007 by four Australian researchers Mark Hutchinson, Brad Maryan, Paul Doughty, and Stephen Donnellan. One of the three species of taipan is the Central Ranges taipan or the Oxyuranus temporalis. Here, we discuss the different species of taipans and their distinguishing characteristics. Currently, three species of taipan have been recognized of which the coastal taipan has two subspecies. The snakes are endemic to Australasia and are known for their large size, high agility, and toxic venom. The taipans are highly venomous elapids belonging to the genus Oxyuranus. ![]() Install the Split APK installer app and then install this hack APK using that.Get the hack mod apk file of European War 5 from the above download link.How to Install the mod apk or European War 5 Hack on Android?

There is no guarantee that deepening a well will yield water if the well has dried up. Hydrofracturing is another method used to increase water flow and costs $1,500 to $3,000. The average cost to redrill a well deeper is $3,000 to $6,000, or between $35 and $84 per foot, which is the same as drilling a new well. Shallow water sources have a high potential for contamination if there is surface water runoff from a higher elevation. ![]() Water has to be pulled slowly to reduce clogging. Only for intermittent use, not for regular water supply or irrigation. With certain strata, they clog easily, as do the screens. Requires a shallow water table not suitable for depths beyond 25’. Groundwater in aquifers between layers of rock is a pressurized body of water, causing water to flow naturally without pumping or electricity when tapped by a well. Geothermal well drilling for residential heat pump Artesian Well CostĪn artesian well costs $35 to $85 per foot or $5,000 to $15,000 for drilling and casing to an average depth of 150 to 450 feet to hit an aquifer. In summer, heat is taken from the house and transferred to the ground. During colder months, the solution brings the heat back to the house. Geothermal wells work by sinking pipes filled with an ethanol solution into a drilling location with a drill rig as a source of heating and cooling energy for a home. The largest cost is getting the equipment to the job site, and experienced contractors are sparse. Installing a vertical geothermal heat pump costs $22,000 to $35,000 on average, including the drilling. Most homes need 3 to 5 boreholes on average with 300’ to 500’ of piping per ton of HVAC capacity. Geothermal wells are 4” to 8” wide, 100’ to 500’ deep, and spaced 10’ to 20’ apart. Geothermal well drilling costs $5 to $40 per foot or $3,500 to $5,000 per well. High pressure irrigation well flooding agricultural field Geothermal Well Drilling Cost Add additional costs for solar powered pump, power supply, water treatment, deeper drilling, or larger pump. Irrigation or Agricultural Well Cost Item Most states require a permit to drill and place limits called allocations on the amount of water that can be pumped out over time. Residential irrigation wells cost $9,000 to $15,000 on average, while many high-yield commercial wells cost $50,000 to $100,000, which typically includes the pump.Ĭommercial agricultural wells require a larger borehole and are drilled deeper to increase water volume to at least 6 gallons per minute per acre for a center pivot. ![]() Well company digging a shallow water well Irrigation or Agricultural Well Costĭrilling an irrigation or agricultural well costs $25 to $50 per foot or $85 to $105 per foot for a complete installation. Drilling is the most common method of well construction. Shallow wells produce less yield and are more difficult to protect from contamination. Shallow wells are typically 25' to 50' deep, 3 to 10 feet in diameter, and are best in areas without rocks or any bedrock.ĭug wells capture water from shallow aquifers close to the surface and are lined with brick, stone, or concrete tiles to prevent the walls from caving in.
