![]() ![]() The power Grelsch has over Luisa as his employee – it shows Luisa’s awareness of the balance of power in this conversation.‘I phoned the precinct where Sixsmith’s case was processed.’ David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas (2004). I can’t batter you, I can’t fool you, I can only hook your curiosity. Her boss is berating her for missing a meeting: The character Luisa Rey, an investigative journalist, has found out about a dangerous environmental coverup. Here’s an example from David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. Yet you can also create immediacy by making characters’ actual thoughts intrude on the scene. Or, if you’re using third person limited point of view: ‘Luisa was apprehensive when she approached the building.’ Often a protagonist-narrator will simply state how they feel in narration.įor example: ‘I was apprehensive when I approached the derelict building.’ Use inner monologue to reveal unspoken thoughts Let’s explore these ideas on writing inner monologue further: 1. Use inner monologue to reveal unspoken thoughts.How and why might you use internal monologue? How to use inner monologue in stories: In prose, inner monologue typically reveals a character’s private impressions, desires, frustrations or dilemmas. In a play, especially in Shakespeare, a monologue (such as when the villain Iago in Othello expresses his wicked plans) is often used to reveal a character’s secret thoughts or intentions. Learn more on how to use inner monologue effectively: First, what is ‘inner monologue’?Ī ‘monologue’ literally means ‘speaking alone’, if we go back to the word’s roots. Inner monologue gives readers more private feelings and dilemmas. Dialogue reveals character relationships, their converging or competing goals. Internal or inner monologue is a useful literary device. ![]()

![]() You should probably just go say thanks to Gianluca in his blog post comments now. You’re gonna need this technique someday, trust me. Then, your ALTER TABLE still needs locks, but it’s only for a really short amount of time (think milliseconds.) If I’d had an index on OwnerUserId, I could immediately start creating that index again (even with ONLINE = ON to minimize the outage.) People can still be deleting/updating/inserting into the table while the REBUILD runs. So what this means is that you just need to prepare the ALTER TABLE command for a time window where you can deal with the higher writes due to data & log file work, buuuuut it doesn’t need to be a zero-load window. If I try to do a SELECT against the same table, it’s going to be blocked until I commit the ALTER TABLE command: The change does finish instantly and does no page reads, as evidenced by SET STATISTICS TIME, IO ON:īut it isn’t pain-free: we still do need a schema modification lock in order to do this, as shown by sp_WhoIsActive. In my case above, I did it in a transaction because I wanted to show you the locks that are required in order to make this change. (If there are indexes on that column, I still have to drop that index first – but now at least we’re talking about a smaller outage window, because I only need to drop the index at the moment in time when I need to alter the table – not when I do the rebuild and rewrite all the 8KB pages.) ![]() Let’s say I want to alter the OwnerUserId column on the Posts table, which would normally be a giant pain in the rear. Let’s see it in action on the Stack Overflow database. I’m not happy about that, but I’m just writing it out here because I’ve hit that myself when trying this trick. If you use page compression or if you try to downsize a datatype, it’s a size-of-data operation that scans the entire table. Just a couple of gotchas: it only works with row compression (not page), and it only works for upsizing datatypes, not downsizing. (although it does require a schema modification lock) Second, alter the datatype, which will be instantaneous.First, turn on row data compression on the table (which can be done ahead of time, and on Enterprise Edition, can even be done with ONLINE = ON, and even works when there are indexes on OwnerUserId).However, Gianluca Sartori ( on Twitter) wrote about a brilliant technique: ALTER COLUMN OwnerUserId BIGINT WITH ( ONLINE = ON ) ![]() ![]() ![]() But Peter Krentz has argued for much lighter shields. Hanson) argues for a massively heavy shield, as you say, around 19 pounds. Most importantly, the weight of the aspis needs careful thinking. the fact that *we can't do it doesn't mean *they couldn't- the limitation of experimental archaeology, our bodies are not theirsģ. maybe someone should try with a counter-weighted spear Ģ. I, too, have tried to fence overhand in formation (Dark Age reenactor shield-wall), and found it clumsy and difficult (to the point of getting shouted at by other reeanactors). much, Dithyrambus, Keep cool ! (no wearing corinthian helmets at work) Interesting post Thearos! I always enjoy discussing hoplite warfare, off to bed for now though, another hot day at work tomorrow! I also believe that single combat happened more often than most care to admit, of course the phalanx was the primary force, but at some point one side or the other would collapse resulting in a melee/rout/slaughter and at this point there would have been pockets of fighting between smaller groups and (gasp!) single combat. It would be quite difficult to "fence" with a 7'-9' spear, especially held in one hand, I have one and have determined that very little finesse is possible while also carrying a 16-20 lb shield on the left arm (thrust and withdraw is about all one can manage), however, with both hands the hoplite spear may can be handled quite easily and parries, blocks etc become easy to perform. The weighted butt-spike is certainly interesting, I agree that the purpose for such would likely be balance, but it would also seem plausible that it could be used as a "mace" in the event of the spear being broken (I am in the camp that believes this happened often, especially for the front rankers during and shortly after the initial clash, resulting in front rankers fighting primarily with swords while the second and third ranks stabbed with spears over hand). Thearos Colonel Posts: 1311 Joined: 10:16 And one consequence is the phalanx fight did involve real "spear fencing", and the spear was not a discardable weapon. ![]() In any case, thought and trouble has been taken. I assume the point (no pun intended) is to balance the spear for fighting, one-handed, in (I assume) overhand positions- to allow the fighter to seize the spear further back, to get that extra reach, or to make his moves quicker ? To give the thrusts with the butt spike more weight or even armour-piercing energy ? To be wieldable as a blunt weapon ? Note the spike on the right of the photograph: it's a "square" type, big and beautiful example and someone has taken the trouble to add on a big ball of lead, which is quite refined (its shape is not a sphere, but nicely modulated, and it's got fins or stripes, so that this was cast in a mould- cast on the bronze spike ?). Nick Sekunda's recent Osprey on hoplites). (Victor Hanson has very blood-thirsty, pornography-of-violence pages on this).Īll this is well known (e.g. Plutarch, Life of Aristeides, on the death of the Persian cavalry commander at Plataia or Plutarch on the death of Machanidas, killed by Philopoimen), the butt-spike was also used as a secondary weapon. For, as attested by literary sources (e.g. It probably is responsible for round holes surrounded by depressed fractures in skulls, as attested at Chaironeia. The second type ("chair leg) is a tapering cylinder, with a flaring ring just before a long spike. There are two types of spikes: one is square in section and pyramidal in shape it may be responsible for square holes in armour found at Olympia (if those holes are not left by nails). The spear point is iron, but the butt-spike is bronze (it serves to stick the spear in the ground, so must be rust proof). 2.5 m long spear used by the ancient Greek "kitted out" fighter, the hoplite (the spear and the big shield are the main components of this style of fighting all the rest, helmet, armour, greaves, can be progressively lightened or dropped). ![]() These are the spikes that go on the bottom (butt) end of the ca. ![]() The picture is from the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, the new section on bronzes on the ground floor this particular case no longer exists, because the material was transported to the new Akropolis museum.

Bear hound training is allowed from 4:00am to 10:00pm daily, and raccoons may be hunted until 2:00am on Sundays.īobcats, foxes, raccoons, and opossums are not protected for any fixed time period. However, the authorized hours for some activities are set by the clock rather than the sun. For most species, hunting must end by one-half hour after sunset. For nonmigratory birds and game animals, hunting is illegal if it starts earlier than one-half hour before sunrise. The time of sunrise and sunset is significant for the state hunting regulations, established by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The clock showed 6:16am whe the sunrise finally occurred at the southwestern tip of Virginia. At Cumberland Gap, it was still dark for more than another half-hour. On June 21, 2018, sunrise was at 5:39am Eastern Daylight Time at Chincoteague. 2īecause of that difference, on the longest day of the year the sun shines on the eastern edge of Virginia about 37 minutes earlier than on the western tip. The longitude at the eastern edge of Assateague Island on the northeastern corner of Virginia is -75.2861889°, while the longitude at Cumberland Gap is -83.6756599°. The width of Virginia is reflected by the difference in longitude. Those workers may be the most aware that the sun is located at a different place of the sky at any time of the day in eastern vs. Some people, including construction workers and farmers, set their work schedules to start at daylight or end at dusk. The US Department of Transportation determines when Virginians will set their clocks to "spring forward" and "fall back" to maximize the hours of daylight in the summer when people are active. The state follows Daylight Savings Time as established in the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Greenwich Mean Time (Zulu time) served as the basis for "standard time" in Virginia until the switch in 1972 to Coordinated Universal Time based on atomic clocks. After the International Meridian Conference in 1884, the United States defined the "prime meridian" for longitude and timekeeping based on the location of the Greenwich Observatory. ![]() Since time was standardized in the United States on November 18, 1883, all of Virginia has been within the Eastern Time Zone.Įach time zone covers roughly 15°'s of longitude.

Note: calorie estimates are from the USDA. Added sugar or syrups? PILE ON THE CALORIES!Īre calories necessarily bad? Of course not, if you’re drinking and eating in moderation and have room for the calories, enjoy! But if you’re watching your weight and food intake, you need to take this into consideration. Most coffee shops won’t serve you 6 ounce cappuccinos, though, as their sizes will be more like 10-12 ounces, in which case you can double to 60 calories straight to 120. Note: If you tend to drink 16 ounce coffees(or any other large serving), you’ll need to multiply the figures provided here accordingly.Ĭompare that with cappuccino: along with the espresso shot, which is 1-2 calories, you’re adding 4 ounces or so of steamed milk, so the total calories comes out more to around 60 per single serving. If you decide to add one tablespoon of 2% milk(steamed milk, of course) and one teaspoon of sugar, you’re looking at 25-26 calories per cup. There’s just no doubt here – and this is especially true if you’re buying the stuff from fast food coffee chains.ĭrip coffee is usually enjoyed black, in which case, you’re looking at just 1-2 calories per 8 ounce cup! What about cappuccino calories?Ĭappuccino has more calories than drip coffee, period. If you were to use enough coffee grounds for just one shot of espresso and pulled 5 shots from it, you’d have a very diluted beverage.īut if you pulled 5 shots from 5 servings of coffee grounds, you’d get the 400mg of caffeine. It also depends on the amount of coffee grounds that you use. The same volume of drip coffee gets you just 160mg. If you were to drink the same volume of cappuccino or espresso – almost 5 shots to get to 8 total ounces, you’d have consumed a whopping 400mg of caffeine. ![]() One cup of drip coffee(or filter/french press/what have you) is 8 ounces and contains 160 mg of caffeine. ![]()
