Overview A rhombitrihexagonal tiling: tiled floor in the Archeological Museum of Seville, Spain, using square, triangle, and hexagon prototiles ![]() It corresponds to the everyday term tiling, which refers to applications of tessellations, often made of glazed clay. The word "tessella" means "small square" (from tessera, square, which in turn is from the Greek word τέσσερα for four). In Latin, tessella is a small cubical piece of clay, stone, or glass used to make mosaics. Other prominent contributors include Alexei Vasilievich Shubnikov and Nikolai Belov (1964), and Heinrich Heesch and Otto Kienzle (1963). Fyodorov's work marked the unofficial beginning of the mathematical study of tessellations. Some two hundred years later in 1891, the Russian crystallographer Yevgraf Fyodorov proved that every periodic tiling of the plane features one of seventeen different groups of isometries. He wrote about regular and semiregular tessellations in his Harmonices Mundi he was possibly the first to explore and to explain the hexagonal structures of honeycomb and snowflakes. In 1619, Johannes Kepler made an early documented study of tessellations. ĭecorative mosaic tilings made of small squared blocks called tesserae were widely employed in classical antiquity, sometimes displaying geometric patterns. Tessellations were used by the Sumerians (about 4000 BC) in building wall decorations formed by patterns of clay tiles. ![]() ![]() History A temple mosaic from the ancient Sumerian city of Uruk IV (3400–3100 BC), showing a tessellation pattern in coloured tiles Tessellations form a class of patterns in nature, for example in the arrays of hexagonal cells found in honeycombs. Tessellations are sometimes employed for decorative effect in quilting. Escher often made use of tessellations, both in ordinary Euclidean geometry and in hyperbolic geometry, for artistic effect. Historically, tessellations were used in Ancient Rome and in Islamic art such as in the Moroccan architecture and decorative geometric tiling of the Alhambra palace. Such tilings may be decorative patterns, or may have functions such as providing durable and water-resistant pavement, floor, or wall coverings. ![]() A tessellation of space, also known as a space filling or honeycomb, can be defined in the geometry of higher dimensions.Ī real physical tessellation is a tiling made of materials such as cemented ceramic squares or hexagons. An aperiodic tiling uses a small set of tile shapes that cannot form a repeating pattern. A tiling that lacks a repeating pattern is called "non-periodic". The patterns formed by periodic tilings can be categorized into 17 wallpaper groups. Some special kinds include regular tilings with regular polygonal tiles all of the same shape, and semiregular tilings with regular tiles of more than one shape and with every corner identically arranged. In mathematics, tessellation can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries.Ī periodic tiling has a repeating pattern. An example of non‑periodicity due to another orientation of one tile out of an infinite number of identical tiles.Ī tessellation or tiling is the covering of a surface, often a plane, using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps.

![]() If you’re confused, the effect of G-Max One Blow doesn’t help with that. The last thing G-Max One Blow doesn’t ignore is anything that does not directly change the damage being done, or which reside on Single Strike Urshifu VMAX. Resistance also still applies in the vernacular of the Pokémon TCG, Weakness and Resistance are “game mechanics”, not “effects”. ![]() ![]() So yes, with this attack your Single Strike Urshifu VMAX can one-shot an Eternatus VMAX. There are things that G-Max One Blow does not ignore, and one of them is in your favor: Weakness still applies. Without protective effects, only Pokémon VMAX and the larger TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX have the raw HP to survive it. Ideally, though, you’re using this on something like a Zacian V that has Metal Goggles and the effects of Lucario & Melmetal-GX’s “Full Metal Wall-GX” attack protecting it. Even on a small, single Prize target it may be worth it if you need to cut through a protective effect. You just cannot afford to use G-Max One Blow unless it is doing something important. Not just because it is four Energy versus three, but because most of those Energy need to be Fighting and the effect of G-Max One Blow discards all Energy attached to Single Strike Urshifu VMAX. There are even high profile targets such as Crobat V, Dedenne-GX and Pikachu & Zekrom-GX!īeatdown is also good for easily OHKOing or 2HKOing smaller Pokémon, which becomes more important, given the drawback of G-Max One Blow. Beatdown, without any other buffs, is only good for a 3HKO against most Pokémon V, which isn’t good… but Fighting Weakness is found on most Lightning types, as well as many Colorless and Darkness types. I don’t know if you should, but at least it is an option. 100 for three is decent, and being an Evolution you could cover the entire cost for Beatdown with a Triple Acceleration Energy. For it can use “Beatdown” to do 100 damage, while pays for “G-Max One Blow” to do 270 damage, with the attack’s damage ignoring effects on your opponent’s Active but it also requires you discard all Energy attached to Urshifu VMAX. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX knows two attacks. A Retreat Cost of is high enough you’ll need to work around it, but not quite high enough to qualify for support like Buff Padding. No Resistance is the worst, but also the norm. Psychic Weakness could be an issue, but mostly due to Mewtwo & Mew-GX. 330 HP is just 10 shy of the printed max, and should be very hard to OHKO outside of Weakness. There’s some good Fighting support in Standard and some great examples in Expanded. Urshifu VMAX is a Fighting type, which is great for exploiting Weakness, though it does crash into Resistance a little often. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX is a Gigantamax Pokémon, but this term currently has no game mechanics or effects that reference it. They do still count as Pokémon V, though, so any support that excludes Pokémon V won’t work for it, while any counters that specify Pokémon V still apply. This makes them about as demanding as Stage 1 Pokémon, but they don’t actually count as Stage 1 Pokémon for the purposes of card effects. Pokémon VMAX are the evolved form of Pokémon V, and evolve only from Basic Pokémon V. As a Pokémon-VMAX, it counts as as Rule Box Pokémon, it gives up three Prizes when KO’d, can access VMAX support, and has to deal with anti-VMAX effects. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX being a VMAX covers familiar territory. You can get a general idea and list of the relevant cards here. They do not have Rule Boxes: they are worth however many Prizes when KO’d as their other game mechanics dictate, you put them into play the normal way, etc. What being a Single Strike Pokémon actually entails is access to a new family of cards and their support. Most Single Strike cards don’t have “Single Strike” in their names, but they all have the label. Technically, this does not make it a Single Strike Pokémon it is the “Single Strike” label in the upper-right corner of its card art (just below its HP and type). Single Strike Urshifu VMAX has a Battle Style in its name. Until or unless that happens, though, they’re just two Pokémon VMAX with the same Pokémon type, nothing more. It is possible some future card effect could reference both of them, or all cards with “Urshifu” in their name. Not unlike with the Galarian or Alolan forms of Pokémon that do not share the same lower Stage(s). Let us start by me pointing out that, from the game’s point of view, Single Strike Urshifu VMAX is a totally separate, unrelated entity from Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX. ![]() It has quite the mouthful of a name, one that calls for some explaining as it references two game mechanics. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX (SW – Battle Styles 086/163, 167/163, 168/163) is our 13th-Place Pick for the latest set. ![]() Granddad fought in World War II? Wow – there’s a whole different side to life and of granddad being revealed. Having a history makes grandchildren feel important and more connected to the rest of the world. The children can feel a part of something more significant than their own lives. This provides the children with a sense of history and belonging. Grandchildren generally learn more about family traditions from their grandparents than from their parents. They can shine a different light on the parents that are raising them. But grandparents can fill in plenty of missing information, much to the grandchildren’s amusement. Parents may not share stories of their bad report cards or other embarrassing incidents with their children. Understanding how the grandparents grew up and how they raised the children’s parents can clarify any number of issues for children. Grandchildren learn when grandparents tell their stories, including tales of family hardships and misfits. Grandparents Bring Their Unique Perspective to Life But the children know they are loved whether they master the teachings or not. Grandparents also take on the role of role models and teachers. Children usually revel in unconditional acceptance and love when around their grandparents. Their “job” is to spoil the grandkids and make them happy. Grandparents are often not required to disciple or correct the child. That is why grandparents play such an important part in a grandchild’s life. ![]() Parents are responsible not only for loving their children, but for discipline. Grandparents Provide Unconditional LoveĬhildren are accepted by their grandparents in a wholly unique and important ways. There are several reasons grandparents are so important in a child’s life: 1. As such, younger generations look up to them to learn. To grandchildren, everything about life is fresh and new, while grandma and grandpa have lived through it all. Grandparents have a special place in that hierarchy. ![]() Why We Choose to Remember GrandparentsĪny expert will confirm that being surrounded by family is important for children’s emotional wellbeing. Here we are going to look at the latter, memorial tattoos dedicated to grandma and/or grandpa. This is true for any loved one, from unborn children to grandparents. Tattoos are exceptionally popular, and it’s no surprise that people look to ink a memorial tattoo after the passing of a loved one. ![]() A small business that still reflects the personality of its founders and employees can be a highly attractive option to a customer – they know their business is important to you, and they won't be treated as just a number or as one income stream among many.Īs Taylor & Hart’s team describes on their business “About Us” page, founding a company isn’t a 9 to 5 job and often involves a compelling story. The more personal you are on your “About Us” page, the better. Giving the customer a firm vision of what your brand will do for them is a key step in motivating them to make the purchase. As Raymond Cloosterman, CEO of Rituals, explains, selling experiences and a story is what really sells a product. By integrating clear details about why you were driven to create such a beneficial product or service and how it helps customers, you’re subtly selling your product by illustrating what it can do for them.Ī good example of this is Rituals Cosmetics and their online presence. See each page of your online presence as a chance to let potential buyers know more about your product – and your business’ “About Us” page is no different. ![]() This creates a tangible sense of identity while connecting on an emotional level to potential customers.Īs you can see, the crucial element of good marketing copy on an “About Us” page is that it is benefit-led: Always remember to speak about what matters to the customer, rather than to yourself. Alongside their standard “About Us” biography, they include images of their team, awards and even their charity projects. Simply Business understands the importance of using content to connect with customers and have a great “About Us” page example. What people have experienced with your company (testimonials, etc.) How you’re contributing to improving your industry Your history is only of interest insofar as it contributes to a compelling story and how it sets you apart from your competitors, so it is important to include: ![]() ![]() If you want to include this background information – for example, in a company timeline – make sure it’s relevant to the customer. They might quickly get bored if you simply rattle off the chronological story of your company. Remember that the pitch must be relevant to your potential customers. Indeed, you might decide that this is the only thing your ‘About Us’ page needs. It is basically the same sales pitch you've been busy perfecting for your small business networking events. By including photos of the team among the more detailed information on the company, readers get to see the humans behind a largely technical product.Ģ. Your business ‘About Us’ page is your storyĪnother important element of your “About Us” page should be your elevator pitch – the short, snappy version of your company story that explains: Take Salesforce’s “Our Story” page, for example. Whether you want to use something as simple as team photos with names, roles and some additional info outlined or an introductory video, this is an easy way to get your customers to connect with the brand on a human level. You can create an instant connection by showing your customer the “real people” behind your brand. ![]() Surrounded by lush, forested landscapes, Bar Harbor comes alive again in the spring. March eases up with highs in the low 40s and lows in the mid-20s. Certain areas of Acadia National Park remain open during the winter for activities, such as snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing and more. The upside to this weather is that the area will be covered in powder. From December through February, you can expect highs in the low 30s and nighttime temps to dip down to the teens. November is the warmest month of the bunch, with highs in the high 40s and lows in the low 30s. ![]() You'll certainly be rewarded with little to no fellow visitors and likely lower travel rates, but the cold does get intense. Acadia Night Sky Festival (September-October)Ī word to the wise: only come if you are able to embrace the truly frigid temperatures that pass through during this season.If you want to witness the whale migration that happens along the Maine coast, it's best to visit Bar Harbor during September, the tail end of the whale watching season. October certainly gets chillier, with daytime temperatures in the high 50s and lows in the low 40s. During September, expect highs in the 60s and lows in the high 40s. However, because of the region's stunning fall foliage, the area still draws visitors. Once September hits, the summer rush that floods Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park will be gone, making it the perfect time to visit if you're hoping to avoid the crowds. And if you plan on going whale watching (the season runs from mid-April to September), bring your layers with you on the boat as the temperature is not only colder on the water but wind is more prevalent. Though temperatures during the day may be pleasant, it's wise to bring layers because nighttime dips down to the high to low 50s throughout the season. If you want to plan a summer trip that dodges the peak seasonal crowds, consider visiting in early June. June daytime highs rest in the low 70s, while July and August see highs in the high 70s. Prepare to rub elbows with plenty of other visitors and understand that due to demand, travel rates may be higher than other times of the year. As such, it should come as no surprise that this is the most popular time to visit. This is the only time of year when you'll get to experience Bar Harbor in consistent 70-degree weather. ![]() I wish I could look down past the burning chandelier inside of me. On the plane, I dip in and out of consciousness, reading and rereading the first poem from Brother, over and over, as if for the first time, until my eyes settle on one particular phrase and I put my hand against the page, touching the words to make sure they’re real: My dream house: books on the shelves, mangoes ripening on the counter, bunches of lavender drying above the dresser. The image of the apartment remains fixed. Liza’s care and attention clings to every surface. On the way out the door, I turn around for one last look at the apartment. It feels like the kind of thing a person would take on a trip that they might never come back from. It’s filled with ticket stubs and Polaroids-souvenirs. I grab a book from the shelf: Brother by the twin poets Matthew and Michael Dickman, about the suicide of their older brother. This silence is a trash compactor, pressing me down into myself. But that kind of silence is expansive, an infinite canvas to paint our dreams on. Usually, silence this pure only comes to the city in a blizzard. No one else is home but the silence in this place is so concentrated, it has a physical presence. I don’t think I could stand to see myself right now. One of Liza’s scarves has fallen from its hook to cover the mirror, extinguishing the last reflective surface in the apartment. In the apartment, all the blinds are closed, all the curtains left shut. I pull a Thursday tour laminate from the stack in my closet and loop it around my key chain. When she turns the corner, I run in to grab my passport and fill a small backpack with a sweatshirt, some underwear, and three pairs of clean socks. Taking stock of myself-a man hiding behind an old Toyota Corolla with a garbage bag in his hands-I know it isn’t true. I tell myself, Sometimes appearances are all we have. When she finally steps out, she looks incredible-armored in a lightweight, thigh-length, chain mail dress, shoulders draped in a chic, black trench coat, makeup sophisticated and smoky. I’ve kept track of them in my calendar so I know which nights I’ll be able to use openly in the comfort of my own home. Huddling behind a parked car across the street from our apartment, I watch our front door, waiting for Liza to leave. ![]() To purchase Someone Who Isn’t Me, visit the Rose Books website.

The next on our list is one of my personal favorites and one of Season 1’s main antagonists, the assassin Jinn. Awakening with a full flame set for the HP bonus and damage reduction is recommended. She is valuable as a general to build a national team around with strong damage dealers in the Estoris Republic, and the synergy with Jinn and Banga team. ![]() Having a gold fatecore that is highly relevant in the current speed meta, even more so when the Green Land signature force is unlocked, makes her future proof as a hero to invest resources toward awakening. As she was the latest general to receive a gold level fatecore, those lucky enough to recruit her fatecore can enhance her fatecore to reach a higher attack stat as well. Given her low base attack, it is significantly harder without awakening to reach 3,000 attack or higher. Given this requirement, it is important to prioritize Jinai for awakening to reaching the attack required to apply the mark. The mark is applied to all enemies with lower attack than Jinai and decreases the attack speed on all marked enemies by 20. Similar to all the other Generals, Jinai is on this list as she has the ability to apply a mark known as Charm.

If you do not own enough fated level ranked armor to equip 2 or pieces on a single unit, do not awaken more than 1 unit at a time.A 2 machine set/4 flame guard stone set is viable for final hit types to bypass provoke tanks, but not necessary with Signature Force level 1 upgrade. A full 6 flame guard stone set is highly recommended for awakening due to the HP bonus and damage reduction. ![]()
