Light repeating crossbow 5e3/10/2024 ![]() ( September 2021) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources in this section. This section needs additional citations for verification. According to the Tiangong Kaiwu, also written during the 17th century, the repeating crossbow is only useful against robbers. The functions of the repeating crossbow listed in the text are primarily non-military: tiger hunting, defending fortified houses, and usage by timid men and women. The Wubei Zhi, written during the 17th century, says that it was favored by people in the southeast but lacked in strength and its bolts tended not to harm anyone. Īlthough the repeating crossbow has been used throughout Chinese history and is attested as late as 19th century Qing dynasty in battle against the Japanese, it was generally not regarded as an important military weapon. ĭuring the Ming dynasty, repeating crossbows were used on ships. This misconception is based on a record attributing improvements to the multiple bolt crossbows to him. ![]() The invention of the repeating crossbow has often been attributed to Zhuge Liang, but he in fact had nothing to do with it. Amidst the obviously great confusion the rebels fired back furiously in self-defense, decimating each other before Yang's forces came up and largely exterminated them. Directed into the enemy's heavily obscured formation, their repeating crossbows (powered by linkage with the wheels) fired repeatedly in random directions, inflicting heavy casualties. Then, deploying them into a fighting formation, he exploited the wind to engulf the enemy with clouds of lime dust, blinding them, before setting rags on the tails of the horses pulling these driverless artillery wagons alight. Yang's solution was to load several tens of wagons with sacks of lime and mount automatic crossbows on others. 180 when Yang Xuan, Grand Protector of Lingling, attempted to suppress heavy rebel activity with badly inadequate forces. In 180 AD, Yang Xuan used a type of repeating crossbow powered by the movement of wheels: Although handheld repeating crossbows were generally weak and required additional poison, probably aconite, for lethality, much larger mounted versions appeared during the Ming dynasty. The Ming repeating crossbow uses an arming mechanism that requires its user to push a rear lever upwards and downwards back and forth. Unlike repeating crossbows of later eras, the ancient double-shot repeating crossbow uses a pistol grip and a rear-pulling mechanism for arming. This is corroborated by the earliest archaeological evidence of repeating crossbows, which was excavated from a Chu burial site at Tomb 47 at Qinjiazui, Hubei Province, and has been dated to the 4th century BC, during the Warring States Period (475 - 220 BC). Complete Classics Collection of Ancient ChinaĪccording to the Wu-Yue Chunqiu (history of the Wu-Yue War), written in the Eastern Han dynasty, the repeating crossbow was invented during the Warring States Period by a Mr. The earliest archaeological evidence of the repeating crossbow is found in the state of Chu, but it uses a pistol grip that is different from the later and more commonly known Ming dynasty design.Īlthough the repeating crossbow was in use throughout most of Chinese history until the late Qing dynasty, it was generally regarded as a non-military weapon suited for women, defending households against robbers, and even hunting. The repeating crossbow ( Chinese: 連弩 pinyin: Lián Nǔ), also known as the repeater crossbow, and the Zhuge crossbow ( Chinese: 諸葛弩 pinyin: Zhūgě nǔ, also romanized Chu-ko-nu) due to its association with the Three Kingdoms-era strategist Zhuge Liang (181–234 AD), is a crossbow invented during the Warring States period in China that combined the bow spanning, bolt placing, and shooting actions into one motion.

It isn’t just the time you lose on distractions it also takes time and energy to refocus your attention. While it would be nice to blame technology for everything, recent studies suggest over half of all workday distractions are self-inflicted - meaning we pull ourselves out of focus. Yet, the constant stream of information pouring in via emails, team chats, and social media notifications demands more and more of our attention. If you’ve ever been interrupted when you were in a flow state, you know how difficult regaining focus can be. Don't worry about the outcome - just take it one pomodoro at a time. It keeps you hyper-focused on the next thing you need to do rather than get overwhelmed by the enormity of what you're taking on. That procrastination-busting strategy is exactly what the pomodoro technique asks you to do: break down your big tasks, projects, or goals into something you only have to do for the next 25 minutes. Doing something small for a short period of time is a whole lot easier to face than trying to take on a big project all at once. Still too hard? Try just sitting down to edit a paragraph. For example, instead of sitting down to write a novel, sit down to write for 5 minutes. Luckily, studies have also shown an effective way to break out of the avoidance cycle: shrink whatever it is you're putting off down to a tiny, unintimidating first step. So we turn to Twitter or Netflix instead to boost our mood, if only temporarily. ![]() It's uncomfortable to stare down a big task or project - one you may not be sure how to even do or one that involves a lot of uncertainty. Rather, we put things off to avoid negative feelings. Research has shown that procrastination has little to do with laziness or lack of self-control. Here's what makes the method uniquely suited to boosting productivity: Making it easy to just get started The arbitrary silliness of using a tomato as a stand-in for units of time belies the Pomodoro Technique's serious effectiveness in helping people get things done. The Pomodoro technique is all about getting your mind in the zone to finish your tasks. If the system seems simple, that’s because it is. Keep an "Overlearning" project in Todoist with a list of tasks you can quickly choose from the next time you find yourself with pomodoro time to spare. For example, you could spend the extra time reading up on professional journals or researching networking opportunities. Use the rest of your time for overlearning, or improving skills or scope of knowledge. The rule applies even if you finish your task before the timer goes off. Cirillo recommends that you track interruptions (internal or external) as they occur and reflect on how to avoid them in your next session. In the event of an unavoidable disruption, take your five-minute break and start again. A digital task manager like Todoist is a great place for these, but pen and paper will do, too. Any ideas, tasks, or requests that come up should be noted to return to later. The pomodoro is an indivisible unit of time and can not be broken, especially not to check incoming emails, team chats, or text messages. For example, "write rent check," "set vet appointment," and "read Pomodoro article" could go together in one session. Any tasks that will take less than one Pomodoro should be combined with other simple tasks. Sticking to this rule will help ensure you make clear progress on your projects. If a task requires more than four pomodoros, it needs to be divided into smaller, actionable steps. The 25-minute work sprints are the core of the method, but a Pomodoro practice also includes three rules for getting the most out of each interval:īreak down complex projects. When your session ends, mark off one pomodoro and record what you completed.Īfter four pomodoros, take a longer, more restorative 15-30 minute break. Set your timer for 25 minutes, and focus on a single task until the timer rings. Though Cirillo went on to write a 130-page book about the method, its biggest strength is its simplicity: Encouraged by the challenge, he found a tomato (pomodoro in Italian) shaped kitchen timer, and the Pomodoro technique was born. ![]() Feeling overwhelmed, he asked himself to commit to just 10 minutes of focused study time. Cirillo was struggling to focus on his studies and complete assignments. The Pomodoro Technique was developed in the late 1980s by then-university student Francesco Cirillo.

It can be used to make difficult intervals and notes easier to sing, and can add a more fluid and legato quality to the voice. Overall, slurring is a technique that can be used to make a singing voice sound more smooth and connected. Slurring can also be used to make difficult intervals or notes easier to sing, by connecting them together in a smooth way. Portamento slurring is less common, and involves sliding between two pitches, usually in a smooth and gliding manner.īoth legato and portamento slurring can be used to create a more fluid and connected sound in a singing voice. Legato slurring is the most common type, and involves smoothly connecting two or more pitches without any break in between. There are two main types of slurring: legato and portamento. Slurring is used to make a singing voice sound more legato, or smooth and connected. ![]() Slurring is a technique used in singing, whereby the singer smoothly connects two or more consecutive pitches. In this excerpt from the theme from "The Simpsons," the hammer-on and pull-off slurs create a fast, rhythmic effect. In this excerpt from Bach’s Goldberg Variations, the portamento slurs create a smooth transition between the notes.ģ. In this excerpt from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, the slurs create a smooth transition between the notes.Ģ. So what is an example of a slur in music? Here are a few examples:ġ. In order to play a hammer-on or pull-off slur, you need to be able to play a quick succession of notes. There are also hammer-on and pull-off slurs, which are used to connect notes that are played on different strings. A portamento is a type of slide, so the note should be played with a smooth transition from the first pitch to the second pitch. If you’re having trouble playing a slurred note smoothly, you may need to practice more.Īnother type of slur is the portamento slur, which connects a note to a note that is a different pitch. A slurred note should be played with a smooth, connected tone. The most common type is the legato slur, which connects two or more notes of the same pitch. There are a few different types of slurs. Slurs are used to create smooth transitions between notes, and they can add a lot of expressiveness to a performance. In other words, it connects the notes so that they are played as if they are one long note.

In other words, the notes should not be played legato when they are played at different speeds. It’s important to note that slurs should not be used to connect notes that are played at different speeds. In this case, the player should play the first group of notes and then smoothly transition into the second group of notes. Slurs can also be used to connect two groups of notes. This type of slur is often used when playing melodies. In this case, the player should play the first note and then slide into the second note. You can also use a slur to connect two notes of different pitches. In this case, the player should play the first note and then smoothly transition into the second note.

Let us think about 2 routers, routerA and routerB who want to become BGP neighbors (it might be IBGP or it might be EBGP, same things apply to both). It seems that was not so clear so let me try again from a slightly different perspective. I tried to explain about BGP neighbors using loopback addresses or not in a previous response. I hope to see you continue to be active in the community. This community is an excellent place to ask questions and to learn about networking. It has been a long discussion and I am glad that our explanations have been helpful. By changing the IBGP neighbor address to the vlan interface rather than the loopback interface we remove the requirement for OSPF and make the configuration more simple. But those reasons are not present in this network. There are some good reasons why you might choose to make the IBGP neighbor address be on a loopback interface. This is one example of making things more complex than they need to be. If the neighbor address is the vlan 15 address then the router knows how to reach that address (it is in a directly connected subnet) and there is no need for OSPF. I suggest an alternative: configure IBGP so that the IBGP neighbor address is the vlan 15 address of the peer router (rather than as the loopback address). So OSPF is necessary for this implementation of IBGP. If OSPF did not advertise that address then IBGP would not work. So this is the basis of my statement about OSPF and IBGP. So how does this router know how to reach 10.2.52.240? That address is advertised by OSPF. To form the IBGP peer relationship the router must know how to reach the peer address. This address is the loopback interface address of the peer router. Looking into the configuration of IBGP we find that one router defines the IBGP neighbor as 10.2.52.240. Then let me try to clarify my statement about OSPF and IBGP. (note that the loopback interface address is used both as the OSPF Router ID and used as the IBGP peer address. It is not the vlan 15 address that is advertised but is the loopback interface address that is used. Then let me address this statement that you make " OSPF is having two routes - the vlan 15 interface and ISP address" This is not correct. A vlan interface can not be a loopback and a loopback interface can not be a vlan. A vlan interface is a particular type of virtual interface. A loopback is a particular type of virtual interface. First you ask this question " Cant we use simply the VLAN 15 address as loopback." Perhaps it is simply a confusion about terminology. There are several things I would like to address. Ip prefix-list FILTER-OUT seq 40 permit 10.2.5.0/24 Ip prefix-list FILTER-OUT seq 30 permit 10.2.4.0/24 Ip prefix-list FILTER-OUT seq 20 permit 10.2.3.0/24 Ip prefix-list FILTER-OUT seq 10 permit 10.2.2.0/24 Neighbor 22.2.22.12 prefix-list FILTER-OUT out Neighbor TEST_GROUP soft-reconfiguration inbound Neighbor 10.2.2.11 peer-group TEST_GROUP > this IS router 2 loop back address in DC2 Neighbor TEST_GROUP update-source Loopback0 ![]() Neighbor TEST_GROUP password 7 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 7 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ![]() In OspF it have defined the redistribute connected and static plus network address for4 subnets also. īoth the router have a default route pointing to their respective ISP. I want to understand how the failover will work in case ISP link goes down. BGP is also configured between two routers. īetween Router 1 and Router 2, we have defined a VLAN 11 where we run OSPF. The DCs are connected over a Physical underground link. Similarly router in DC2 is connected to Core switch in DC 2 ( again L2 connection) The router in DC1 is connected to COre Switch in DC1 > This is a Layer 2 connection FOr one of our customer, they have two router one in each DC Warriors a vision of shadow 3 pdf3/9/2024 ![]() Onewhisker used to be one of my favorite characters of all time, and I absolutely hate his leader story arc. When Onestar died in the end of book three, I’m not going to lie, I was happy, and that made me super sad. (I will say this is becoming a nightmare with all of the clans being butthurt over stuff). RiverClan: What the bloody heck are you doing in this book. Finally–FINALLY–Sk圜lan is back with the clans! You guys have no idea how excited I am that this has happened in the books. I have been waiting for this moment since Firestar’s Quest. ShadowClan warriors are still acting disrespectful to him (gee, isn’t that why Darktail was able to come in so easily?), and I honestly cannot understand why they acted that way in the beginning. They’re down to less than half of their clan, and Rowanstar is losing his courage. until the first Gathering meeting, I thought they still had a fairly good number of warriors left, but no. I was not expecting ShadowClan to be as destroyed as it was. She is still acting like a brat (yes, I think she’s a brat in the other books–after how she behaves in ShadowClan and her “superior” attitude over the situation with Darktail nearly got her killed). I didn’t like it, and half of her conversations felt stupid, I’m sorry. I get why her feelings are so mixed about being either Sk圜lan or ThunderClan, but most of her POV felt like it was simply a way for us to see into Sk圜lan while everything else was happening. ![]() Firstly, my complaints against this: Sk圜lan gets their new territory (not surprising), but I feel like Twigpaw’s arc in this entire book was useless.

She glared at Sunsetsplash before storming away. " All you care about is yourself, Sunsetsplash! You're so selfish." Splashtail growled. Her russet-and-white pelt bushed up in anger. " Why do you ask? You don't care!" Splashtail hissed. Her sister flinched, and a guilty expression flashed across her face before being replaced by anger. She WAS hiding something!! " What are you doing over there, Splashtail?" She demanded. Sunsetsplash felt the ground away beneath her paws. " But I covered." Splashtail's barely audible whisper died away. I smelled RiverClan scent on you, not the Thunderpath." When the pigeon was almost done, Splashtail pushed it towards her. Sunsetsplash did the same, chewing slowly. She bent down and took a bite of the pigeon. " I went by the Shadowclan border, near the Thunderpath." Splashtail meowed. Splashtail unsheathed her claws and fidgeted with the feathers on the pigeon's wing. Sunsetsplash sat down in front of the pigeon, facing her sister.

I didn't catch one, so it must've been Cherrybud." They had reached the fresh-kill pile, and Splashtail ignored her question as she studied the pickings. " Where did you go hunting earlier?" She said casually, or what she hoped sounded casual. " Did you.where did you." Sunsetsplash stumbled on her words as Splashtail blinked at her in confusion. Splashtail looked at her with clear blue eyes that didn't betray a thing. " Splashtail." Sunsetsplash started tentatively, and right away she wished she hadn't said anything. It was something else.something that made Splashtail feel guilty about it. The smell of scent lines didn't rub off like that. She noticed the fresh-kill pile was well stocked again before her thoughts consumed her again. Why did Splashtail have RiverClan scent all over her? Did she come across an enemy patrol while hunting? Or did she just get too close to the scent line? No. Her mind reeled with unsaid questions and possible answers.
