The greater number of games won, excluding games won in Overtime or by Shootout (i.e., "Regulation Wins"). The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage). If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order: In the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final, home-ice advantage goes to the team that had the better regular-season record - regardless of the teams' final standing in their respective divisions. Home-ice advantage through the first two rounds goes to the team that placed higher in the regular-season standings. First-round winners within each bracket play one another in the Second Round to determine the four participants in the Conference Finals. The teams finishing second and third in each division will meet in the First Round within the bracket headed by their respective division winners. In the First Round, the division winner with the best record in each conference will be matched against the wild-card team with the lesser record the wild card team with the better record will play the other division winner. It is possible for one division in each conference to send five teams to the postseason while the other sends just three. The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference, based on regular-season record and regardless of division. The top three teams in each division will make up the first 12 teams in the playoffs. The format is a set bracket that is largely division-based with wild cards. 16 teams will qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

![]() Their only chance was to surrender or hunker down, hoping the Marines would pass them by. If they waited until the Marines were on their doorstep, the Marines would swarm their position and not back off until everyone in the house was dead. They would be pounded with 40mm grenades, AT4 rockets and Javelin missiles. Fifty-caliber and 7.62mm-machine guns would spray their position. M1 tanks would fire at point blank range. Sixty-millimeter mortar shells would rain down. If the enemy remained inside and waited for the Marines and soldiers to get closer, they learned quickly what it was like in Hell. American snipers silently brought instant death. If the enemy waited for the Marines to approach, or if they fired on the Marines when they came into view, artillery and mortars would be quick to respond – usually bringing the building crashing down around them. Their bullets plinked harmlessly against the armor plate like rain on a tin roof.įour battalions of Marine infantry swarmed into the city behind the tanks and Bradleys. Some insurgents were foolish enough to stand and fight. The Americans just kept pouring into the city. Any enemy fighters remaining at the barricades at the edge of the city must have been scared silly as they watched an entire mechanized battalion roll through their flimsy barricade – tank after tank, Bradley after Bradley. Rainey’s Bradleys followed his tanks through the breach and fanned out to the west. There seemed to be no end to the armored assault. ![]() Swarms of insurgents tried to maneuver around in back of the tanks, only to find more tanks and Bradleys pushing into the city through the gap in the barricade. Smith and Reyes waited nervously at the first major intersection for the battalion’s tanks and Bradleys to fill in behind them. Slowly, the two tanks ground forward into the maelstrom. Smith and Reyes were ordered to push forward to make room for the rest of Jim Rainey’s tanks. The tank’s main guns were belching fireballs the size of a house, momentarily lighting the street like it was daytime and shaking the ground as their supersonic projectiles shattered buildings and killed any insurgent in their path. The tankers responded with coax machine gun fire, spewing streams of steel. They thought they could take on the tanks and win. Once inside the city, the enemy unleashed everything they had. They plowed through a minefield and slammed through barricades at the edge of the city. Staff Sergeant Anibal Reyes followed Smith with a roller attached to the front of his tank. Sergeant Matthew Smith led RCT-1’s attack through the breach with a tank-mounted plow. It ended badly for those that thought they could defeat American tanks and Bradleys. Four battalions of Marine infantry swarmed into the city behind the armored juggernaut. They mowed down fanatic fighters in the streets and blew through barricades as enemy RPGs bounced off their thick skins, leaving little more than black scorch marks. The 70-ton armored vehicles were unstoppable. Task Force Blue Diamond, the 1 st Marine Division, led with their tanks. Most of the four-thousand jihadists were there to fight and die. They had built barricades, set IEDs and dug in deep. The enemy had been preparing for the inevitable assault for months. To the east, Lieutenant Colonel Peter Newell’s 2-2 Infantry attacked south on the eastern edge of the city alongside Colonel Craig Tucker’s RCT-7 Marines. Lieutenant Colonel Jim Rainey’s 2-7 Cavalry led Colonel Mike Shupp’s Regimental Combat Team (RCT-1) into the northwestern Byzantine neighborhoods. The actual attack would come twenty-fours later, at sunset on November 8, 2004, as two Marine regiments swept into the city. Two Army mechanized task forces and four reinforced Marine infantry battalions were preparing to inundate the enemy, all along the northern edge of the city. The Wolfpack’s attack was a battalion-sized diversion. As the Wolfpack was moving to secure the Fallujah Hospital and the western approach to the Euphrates River bridges, a massive military force was assembling, north of the city. It is hard to believe that it has been five years since the beginning of the largest, and most important, battle of Operation Iraqi Freedom. An angry mob had strung up the bodies of two Blackwater contractors on the older footbridge in spring of 2004. Two bridges spanned the Euphrates River, connecting the Shark’s Fin with downtown. The Beginning of the End of al Qaeda in IraqĪt sunset on Sunday, November 7, 2004, the soldiers, sailors and Marines of Task Force Wolfpack raced north in their Light Armored Vehicles, tanks and trucks to secure the "Shark’s Fin," a large peninsula west of the insurgent stronghold in the ancient Iraqi blue-collar city of Fallujah. Operation Phantom Fury – Beginning of the End of al Qaeda in Iraq By Richard S. ![]() They meet at a point which is the centre of a circle through all three vertices. ![]() In an equilateral triangle, each vertex angle bisector is the perpendicular bisector of the opposite side − we proved in the previous module that in any triangle, these three perpendicular bisectors are concurrent. The symmetries of an equilateral triangleĪn equilateral triangle is an isosceles triangle in three different ways, so the three vertex angle bisectors form three axes of symmetry meeting each other at 60°. Suppose by way of contradiction that AC < AB.Ĭhoose P on the interval AB so that AP = AC, and join PM. [Hint: For part c, let BAM = CAM = α, and let C = γ. Use congruence to prove that ABC is isosceles with AB = AC if: a the perpendicular bisector of BC passes through A, orī the line through A perpendicular to BC bisects A, orĬ the angle bisector of A passes through the midpoint M of BC. The first two are easy to prove, but the third is rather difficult because simple congruence cannot be used in this ‘non-included angle’ situation. The theorem above suggests three possible tests for a triangle to be isosceles. See the module, Construction for details of this.Įxtension − Some further tests for a triangle to be isosceles In general, they are four different points. It has, as a consequence, the interesting property that the centroid, the incentre, the circumcentre and the orthocentre of ABC all tie on the line AM. This line is an axis of symmetry of the isosceles triangle. The perpendicular bisector of the base.The line through the apex perpendicular to the base.The line joining the apex and the midpoint of the base.In an isosceles triangle, the following four lines coincide: ![]() ![]() These basic facts of about isosceles triangles will be used later in this module and in the module, Circle Geometry: Moreover, this fact means that AM is an axis of symmetry of the isosceles triangle. It also establishes that the angle bisector AM is the perpendicular bisector of the base BC. This congruence result, however, establishes much more than the equality of the base angles. To prove that B = C in the diagram opposite, we constructed the angle-bisector AM of the apex A, then used the SAS congruence test to prove that In the module, Congruence, congruence was used to prove that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal. The axis of symmetry of an isosceles triangle We begin by relating the reflection and rotation symmetries of isosceles triangles, parallelograms and rectangles to the results that we proved in the previous module, Paralleograms and Rectangles. Symmetries of triangles, parallelograms and rectangles The tests for the kite also allow several important standard constructions to be explained very simply as constructions of a kite.The reflection and rotation symmetries of triangles and special quadrilateralsĪre identified and related to congruence.In addition, two other matters are covered in these notes. This is typical of more advanced mathematics. This means that the reader must understand a whole ‘sequence of theorems’ to achieve some results. If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then it is a parallelogram.Ĭongruence is again the basis of most arguments concerning rhombuses, squares, kites and trapezia, because the diagonals dissect each figure into triangles.Ī number of the theorems proved in this module rely on one or more of the previous theorems in the module.If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other.For example, a typical property−test pair from the previous module is the pair of converse statements: We have seen that a test for a special quadrilateral is usually the converse of a property. Many of the key methods of proof such as proof by contradiction and the difference between a theorem and its converse arise in elementary geometry.Īs in the module, Parallelograms and Rectangles, this module first stresses precise definitions of each special quadrilateral, then develops some of its properties, and then reverses the process, examining whether these properties can be used as tests for that particular special quadrilateral. These analytic skills can be transferred to many areas in commerce, engineering, science and medicine but most of us first meet them in high school mathematics.Īpart from some number theory results such as the existence of an infinite number of primes and the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, most of the theorems students meet are in geometry starting with Pythagoras’ theorem. Logical argument, precise definitions and clear proofs are essential if one is to understand mathematics. ![]() Like the OG Beachwaver, this model features arrow buttons for easy rotation control and an ergonomic handle for comfort.īut what really justifies the added cost of this rotating curling iron is that it comes with three interchangeable ceramic barrels, so it's like having multiple hair tools for the price of one. With a better understanding of how rotating curling irons can seriously upgrade someone’s hairstyling game, here are 10 impressive options that sport enticing features across various price points and boast hundreds of glowing reviews.īeachwaver does it again with their latest (and most stylish) innovation: the Multi Barrel Beachwaver rotating curling iron. Since I’m obsessed with the simplicity of automatic rotating curling irons, most items on this list boast that capability for the most effortless styling. As for the others, I considered the key specs mentioned earlier, including the number of barrels, material, and temperature of each rotating curling iron. I have experience using several of these hot tools, while some earned snaps from Hurtado. 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit is beneficial for medium to coarse hair.340 degrees to 370 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal for fine or color-treated hair.Some heat tools only have an off and on button, so Hurtado advises opting for a rotating curling iron that has adjustable heat, so users can have ultimate control of the heat. Tourmaline rotating curling irons are compatible with both thin and thick hair.Titanium rotating curling irons are best for thick, curly, or coarse hair.Ceramic rotating curling irons are ideal for fine or thin hair.Here's a quick guide to the different materials that are best suited for various hair textures and densities. MaterialĪccording to hairstylist Raven Hurtado of Maxine Salon in Chicago, it’s good to know about the material of the barrel. It includes three interchangeable barrels in different sizes and silhouettes, which I'll touch on in a bit. Speaking of barrels, Beachwaver, a brand at the forefront of the rotating curling iron game, recently launched its next generation of rotating curling irons: the Multi Barrel Beachwaver. Opt for barrels that are 1.25 inches or more for someone who has longer hair or prefers loose curls.Use barrels that are 1 inch or less for someone who has shorter hair or wants tighter curls. ![]() ![]() This will be determined by hair length and the desired hairstyle. Barrel Sizeīefore ordering a rotating curling iron, consider the size of the barrel. However, it may take a few tries before users get used to twirling these irons. There are also curling irons with a manual rotation, which is just as effective as automatic. It's an incredible feature because with a push of a button the barrel will seamlessly curl the hair for users. Through my research, I've found that most rotating curling irons at reader favorite shops - like Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, and Walmart, to name a few - boast an automatic rotation. ![]() They will create that same sensation but not cloud your brain with distracting lyrics and other sounds. If you like music, consider binaural beats instead. If you need background noise, try a machine that plays white or soothing sounds like rainfall. In the evening, put all your electronic devices away an hour before sleep. Keep the room dark and cool in the evening to set the stage for going to bed. There should be no bright lights or loud noises to disrupt your sleep. You want your mind to associate this room with only sleep and maybe a few extracurricular activities.Īlso, make the room as sleep-friendly as possible. It shouldn’t be where you eat, for example. Your bedroom should be a place with limited activity. You may also practice what’s known as non-sleep deep rest (NSDR), a meditative state of deep rest that can help reduce stress and re-energize your mind and body without interfering with your sleep process. If you feel like you need a nap, try to make it very short, and only lie down if it’s necessary to catch up from a night of inadequate sleep. On the contrary, high-performing athletes are often encouraged to nap. Naps tend to interfere with that process. The body has a clock that tells it when to sleep and when to be awake. Naps are designed to help you catch up but are more like a habit that interferes with the quality of your nighttime sleep. You might be surprised how much more you get done on those days when you don’t sleep through them trying to catch up! 5. Only Nap When Necessary Someone else’s night routine might be writing in a journal, petting the dog, or drinking chamomile tea.īy creating a routine for bed, you put your mind on a schedule, so you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on your days off. For you, it might mean taking a hot bath or reading a book. That will mean something different to everyone. Do something that helps you cycle down, though. The exact routine is less critical than you doing the same thing at the same time each day. ![]() By developing a healthy nightly routine, you tell your body it is time to sleep. Our bodies are programmed to look for patterns, instructing us on how and when to function. Have a Sleep RoutineĪs humans, we thrive off routine. What started as a single nightcap can progress into hours of drinking in the evening. So, you need more of it over time to get the same effects. Yes, alcohol may help you drift off to sleep, but it affects the overall quality of your sleep, including your ability to reach that deep sleep state.ĭrinking to help you sleep is a double edged sword in another way, too. If you like having a nightcap because it helps you sleep, think again. If you want to know how to get more deep sleep, then alcohol is something you should avoid. Make your late afternoons and evenings caffeine-free. So do your homework, determine what has caffeine and what doesn’t, and plan accordingly. You’ll find it in tea, chocolate, and some sodas. Keep in mind, too, that caffeine exists beyond the realm of coffee. So, even if you are the type of person that can drink coffee all day and go right to sleep, you may not be getting the same quality of sleep. There is evidence that caffeine later in the day can reduce your deep sleep by as much as one hour. What we are saying is to limit the hours you drink it. We’re not saying throw your cup-o’-joe out the window that would be criminal. For instance, don’t exercise before bed, as exercising too late in the day can make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. The timing of your exercise matters, too. It also relieves stress, which helps you fall asleep faster. However, they have proven that it will increase the amount of slow-wave sleep (the medical term for deep sleep) you get every night. Medical science hasn’t fully determined why exercise is essential for deep sleep. Exercise isn’t just about managing your weight or building muscle. When planning how to increase deep sleep, exercise is an excellent place to start. Here are six things you can do to improve your sleep quality and get the right amount of deep sleep to wake up refreshed and ready for the day. If you manage to sleep through the night but still wake up feeling tired, chances are you are not getting the deep sleep you need. Just because you go to sleep doesn’t mean you get the right amount of deep sleep. Deep sleep is also critical to memory, cognitive function, language, and motor skills. It helps to regulate glucose metabolism and replenish your energy. What you really need to know about sleep is that certain stages are more critical than others, such as deep sleep.ĭeep sleep is when your body gets to work repairing muscles and tissues. Each cycle has phases, and each phase has stages. It is a complex process that occurs in four to six cycles. Sleep is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle, but not all sleep is the same. ![]() Residents become part of a community and use community resources, including self-help groups and employment.

It just requires focus, commitment, and consistency on your part. But, in reality, it actually is done fairly easily. Meet the underlying need, and the excess barking will stop. And what is it that one dog will try to communicate to another, or to its human pack leader? Needs. It may seem like something that’s impossible to control, but you have to remember why dogs bark in the first place. The other causes, whether there are people at home or not, can be excess energy, which a dog will try to burn off through excitement and hyperactivity or it can be due to anxiety, which leads to the dog perceiving every little noise as a possible threat to be scared away. It can also be their way of trying to call you back, especially if the dog is experiencing separation anxiety. So when a domesticated dog barks all day, what are they trying to communicate? Generally, if they do it when no one is home, it’s a sign of boredom or frustration. But when your dog barks constantly at home, what is it they need? Why Do Dogs Bark Too Much? They save it for when they really need it. In the wild, though, dogs don’t bark all the time. When it comes from the dogs at the front of the pack, it can a way to scare off a threat. In the wild, the message can be a warning of danger or a call to the hunt. Simply put, they bark to communicate, particularly in situations where they cannot immediately see the rest of the pack or when they want to get a message to the entire pack.
