![]() ![]() Bright images, lots of potential magnification. ![]() Schmidt-Cassegrain scopes have a native f/10 focal ratio and are very good for deep space, dim objects, as well as planetary and lunar. A fairly long focal length can be made into a very short telescope. ![]() The primary mirror is the big one at the rear, is either concave or parabolic there is a hole in the middle of it The light reflected from the primary bounces back toward the front, where there is a convex or parabolic mirror that captures the light from the primary, focuses it some more, and reflects it don through the hole in the primary, to the eyepiece. The Schmidt-Cass is a folded optic telescope, has two mirrors. I have an Apochromatic refractor, and two Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. Higher f/-number means longer scope, and more magnification, at the expense of a slightly dimmer image. That's just the scope, you'll need a mount to hold and aim it. You can get a decent achromat for $400 or so, if you're just going to observe. Downside is that they are heavier, and way more expensive than a good achromat. They use three lenses, and can pretty much eliminate chromatic aberration. Achromats have gotten very good in the last few years. Achromatic telescopes can eliminate one and decrease the other. When light is bent by a lens, the component colors bend at different angles, creating a small "halo" around the image, usually a red or blue one. It will have better coatings which help decrease reflections, add clarity, and decrease what is called "chromatic aberration". I wouldn't even consider one, that's your garden variety "toy" telescope that kids get for Christmas. Refractors come in three main types the most basic is a simple two-lens with minimal coatings. Seems like when you're a noobie looking for a first scope, there's a lot you need to know in order to find what's best for you. The main reason is that mirror type scopes have to be collimated occasionally, meaning the mirrors have to be properly aligned. You might want to look at refractors for your first telescope. A 6" would still give you some great viewing, an f/8 would be about 5 feet long and 1/2 the weight of the 8". The downside to that is, less maximum magnification for small or very distant objects. If you go with a faster (optically) scope, such as a f/5 or f/6, it will be shorter. An f/8 will be about 6 feet long, and weigh about 2/3 what the 10" does.

The Cowboys canceled the appointment, she says. A tall, stylish woman with a powerful build that, at the age of 53, gives away her past as a college volleyball player, Dorothy tells how she made an appointment with two people “at the top” of the Cowboys organization in 2012 to inform them about the pending release of her self-published book and to ask for support in creating awareness about domestic abuse. The NFL is being pressed hard to crack down on domestic violence. Images from the cases went viral online, impossible for the NFL or anyone else to ignore. Though an earlier, self-published version of the book told the same story, media are paying attention this time, thanks to a pair of horrific domestic-violence incidents involving NFL players: Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy, accused of battering his former girlfriend from head to toe, and former Ravens star Ray Rice, caught on video decking his fiancée (now his wife) into unconsciousness in an elevator in an Atlantic City casino in 2014. In a fascinating addendum to the book, Nate Newton allows himself to be interviewed by Dorothy’s collaborator, and he acknowledges the abuse while insisting he is regretful and, today, a changed man. Long divorced from Nate, she released a book last month called Silent Cry: The True Story of Abuse and Betrayal of an NFL Wife, chronicling her abusive marriage, eventual escape and recovery through faith. Now, more than 15 years later, Dorothy Newton is speaking out, and people are listening. But like his mother had for so many years, Tré remained silent. The kitchen window shattered.ĭorothy dropped to the floor and screamed as Nate hustled outside.Īs he got in his car and drove away, he had to have seen the terrified little boy hiding behind the barbecue grill, popping his head up to peer inside, in front of the same window that had just been blown to pieces. He held the barrel in place for a moment, observing her fear, then shifted it just a few inches to the right. ![]() Nate seized the rifle and leveled it right between his wife’s eyes. The thick, glass tabletop jarred loose and slammed onto the floor, grazing her stomach.ĭorothy erupted in anger. Nate shouted again, then grabbed the table and shoved it toward his wife. Then she spotted the rifle lying on the counter. ![]() “What the fuck are you doing?” he shouted.ĭorothy sat down stiffly at the kitchen table, bracing for a lengthy rant. Then, strangely calm, she stepped inside. Stay in the car till I come and get you, she told Tré. She knew Nate would never hurt Tré - or would he? She arrived in the afternoon at their home, set on six wooded acres where no one around them could see or hear anything. So she left Ingrid that day in 1997 and drove to Argyle, in Denton County, her son Tré beside her. Assuming Dorothy was responsible, he ordered her to come home - or he would kill her. Someone had informed the Cowboys organization about Nate’s personal “business,” and he was enraged. This time, Dorothy had finally decided to leave Dallas Cowboys superstar Nate Newton. But he also shoved her, choked her and kicked her, all 325 pounds of him, sometimes leaving her on the floor, beaten so badly she was unable to move. The words, in fact, cut deeper than anything. The verbal abuse was relentless, with every sentence containing a barrage of B’s and F’s. Not her family in Louisiana, not her friends. Dorothy always stood by her famous husband’s side, but she paid for it dearly in private. And the latest in a series of women who’d emerge, claiming they’d been fondled or assaulted or just jilted. And the drinking, the clubbing, the DUIs. There were the inevitable setbacks on the field, even in the midst of a record-breaking, three-Super Bowl run. No one knew the breadth of the abuse she endured, in a sick cycle that hewed to her husband’s ups and downs as an athlete and celebrity. Of course it made no sense, looking in from the outside. “You should not go back there,” she implored her. Ingrid was scared for her friend but too tense to cry. In another room, Tré, Dorothy’s 8-year-old, played with Ingrid’s twin boys. If anything happens to me, she told her, you must promise you will raise Tré. It named her killer.Īn emotional mess but still lucid, Newton pressed her friend Ingrid Ford for a promise. ![]() So first, she stopped at her best friend’s house and drafted a letter to secret away, to open in the event of her murder. The sense of doom forced a frigid clarity of mind. Dorothy Newton knew she and her unborn child were going to die. ![]() ![]() ![]() The standing position may be relaxed, on tiptoe, or, at the most.

High School Math Solutions Quadratic Equations Calculator, Part 2 Solving quadratics by factorizing (link to previous post) usually works just fine. So in conclusion, there are only general formulae for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th degree polynomials. It's that we will never find such formulae because they simply don't exist. Each of the equations we have solved in this section so far had one side in factored form. So it's not that we haven't yet found a formula for a degree 5 or higher polynomial. The Abel-Ruffini Theorem establishes that no general formula exists for polynomials of degree 5 or higher. In fact, the highest degree polynomial that we can find a general formula for is 4 (the quartic). ![]() We guarantee that this term will be present in the equation by requiring a 0 a 0. ![]() The only requirement here is that we have an x2 x 2 in the equation. First, the standard form of a quadratic equation is. Both of these formulas are significantly more complicated and difficult to derive than the 2nd degree quadratic formula! Here is a picture of the full quartic formula:īe sure to scroll down and to the right to see the full formula! It's huge! In practice, there are other more efficient methods that we can employ to solve cubics and quartics that are simpler than plugging in the coefficients into the general formulae. So, we are now going to solve quadratic equations. These are the cubic and quartic formulas. The calculator solution will show work using the quadratic formula to solve the entered equation for real and complex roots. There are general formulas for 3rd degree and 4th degree polynomials as well. This online calculator is a quadratic equation solver that will solve a second-order polynomial equation such as ax 2 + bx + c 0 for x, where a 0, using the quadratic formula. Similar to how a second degree polynomial is called a quadratic polynomial. A third degree polynomial is called a cubic polynomial. A trinomial is a polynomial with 3 terms. First note, a "trinomial" is not necessarily a third degree polynomial. ![]() ![]() ![]() It offers some features similar to Melodyne, the numero uno Autotune VST plugin.

Once there has been penetration or forced oral sex, the jacket is on his back, as being a punk, sissy, queer, etc. You will be lebled as a bisexual, or homosexual, pretty boy, gay, little girl, queen. What starts the biggest problem is when that vicitim get into it with an official, and that official because of his attitude will give out information like the inmate was a childmolester. The ones who get raped here are mostly the weaker prey, or someone who's in debt, or looking protection from someone else. If a vicitim is scared enough, he may never tell what happen to him, it depends on what the victim is focused on, like embarrassment, shame, escape, pain, aids, suicide, or living with a scar the rest of his life as a homosexual or bisexual, not letting go of the abuse in there minds. I hear about rapes off and on, most are not known and not reported, cause most of them take place behind closed doors. B.E., Vermont, 10/26/96 (he later committed rape himself)ĭuring my time in prison, I have seen 19 violent rapes. My behavior changed to such cold heartedness that I resented anyone who found reason to smile, to laugh, and to be happy. When I came out of prison, I remember thinking that others knew I had been raped just by looking at me. So I recieved the same thing the rapist did, it doesnt make any sence. They would rather lock me in seg than put me on P.C. He said Im locking you up for assult with a weapon. went in front of the disciplinary committee. You can buy a kid for 20 or 30 dollars on most wings!! They sell them like cattle. The punks or kids that they turnout they are like a flag to tell every one that this is mine I own this cause when they do turn out a guy they actually own them, every penny they get it goes to there man. When they have a punk or a kid that they've turned out they treat them like trophies it makes them feel important or somebody with status! They thrive on the status they couldnt get in the free world. The only time there is really a group of people doing the actual rape is when the victim is fighting back and then they will beat him up and hold him down and rape him, but that is rare. Most of the time the victim doesnt even fight because he's scared. The actual assult is mainly done by one person but the victim knows if he defies that one person then 10 to 15 other people will jump on him when he goes somewhere. Most of the assults are done through threat of violence. ![]() So after that, I would not, did not tell again. Because I tolded on him, and he got even with me. ![]() And I saw my attacker again not too long after I tolded on him. All they did was moved me from one facility to another. ![]() |
