![]() And, frankly, it can strain your neck and your strands, especially if you have fine hair and pull too tight to twist the towel. Balancing a heavy towel atop your head while simultaneously trying to get dressed and ready for the day is not as easy as it seems. In the unabridged version – aka reality – that picture is a little less pretty. Then, she expertly multitasks, rubbing lotion on her legs, dabbing on foundation and powder, swiping mascara on her lashes, without any slips, all while balancing a giant towel on her head. In a hurry, she flips over her head and wraps her hair in a giant bath towel. Is it just me, or do movies and television shows have a way of making the act of getting ready seem oddly glamorous? Picture it: girl hops out of shower. I’ve been using this product for years now and I think just about every hair type could benefit from it.Plus, it makes getting ready and drying hair simultaneously a breeze.

This last part was key for reducing the number of people who accidentally purchased the wrong material. Finally, we created a product comparison chart to clearly educate customers between the cotton towel and microfiber towel. Next, we broke down the information into snippets to make it digestible. We focused on three improvements:įirst, we created a hierarchy of information, making sure the most important product info is presented first. The old Turbie Twist website had long paragraphs of text to describe the products without a clear hierarchy or headings for customers to skim it. When educating customers, it’s important to do it in a quick and concise way. Jimmy Zona, the head of digital marketing and ecommerce at Turbie Twist, quickly realized that the site needed to do a better job of educating customers about the different products and their unique qualities. Because of this, many customers were purchasing the new microfiber towel and expecting cotton, while other customers were purchasing cotton and expecting microfiber.Įven if customers did understand the different options, it was difficult for them to choose which Turbie Twist towel to purchase because the product materials, features, and qualities weren’t shared clearly on the website. With a name so well-known, a lot of customers associated it with the first product ever released (the cotton hair towel), not realizing how many new products and variations of the original product are now available. Turbie Twist has been around since the nineties.

![]() This question is not really answered, but it is pointed out that the crypto winter may slow down investment in alternative Layer 1s, and that Web3 may become a winning market again with Ethereum as the dominant player. “If Ethereum’s entrenched status as the number two blockchain behind Bitcoin is already allowing Ethereum to fend off competitors, it seems especially unlikely that another smart contract-enabled blockchain will challenge it should these changes prove successful”.Īt this point a second question arises: if these new alternative layer 1 blockchains are unable to truly challenge Ethereum, will they survive? In addition, the future move to PoS, and other Layer 2-based solutions, could help greatly in reducing the cost of gas. The competitive advantage of the Ethereum ecosystem.Įthereum still appears to be far ahead in terms of, for example, overall daily transaction volume, including in the so-called Web3 and NFT field. People generally use the term “Ethereum-killer” to identify these alternative blockchains that could overtake ETH, but so far none have been able to do so. The peer-to-peer lending platform enables borrowers and lenders to agree on the loan terms that are then executed using smart contracts. The question Chainalysis is asking is whether any of these will be able to overtake Ethereum in terms of mass adoption. Aave, formerly known as ETHLend, is an Ethereum-powered, decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace for borrowing and lending digital assets. For the most part, these new blockchains have presented themselves as alternatives to solve Ethereum’s very problems with scalability, and especially with the high cost of fees. The report reveals that several new layer 1 blockchains that have emerged lately have grown to gain a role in the growing Web3 ecosystem. Of this amount, nearly 64% is locked on the Ethereum blockchain.ĭespite a higher average transaction cost, Ethereum remains by far the preferred layer 1 blockchain for users of decentralized finance protocols. ĭeFiLlama now has as many as 124 blockchains, with over $74 billion in TVL (Total Value Locked). Knowing the best DeFi coin to invest in 2021 requires up-to-date understanding of the demand/supply pullwhich is often determined by intrinsic and extrinsic factors like world politics, perception, coin stability, and more. Indeed, in the past many new layer 1 blockchains have claimed to want to compete with Ethereum, but as yet none have succeeded, especially in the DeFi arena. The cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, with interesting competition amongst the various DeFi coins. To be fair, layer 2 blockchains, such as those that are themselves based on Ethereum, are also increasing, but in theory it is only the layer 1 ones that could really compete with Ethereum.

The problem was (and why I believe you should’ve taken Robert’s deal) is you were valuing its potential AFTER a shark hops on board puts in work to help it get there. Just how a random viewer in America saw it play out. I honestly couldn’t even believe he gave you the offer he did. Don’t you think if he helped increase your profits tenfold that it would make him deserving of & worth a measly 20% stake? 100% of 100K profit is still only 100k, whereas 80% or 10M would be 8M. ![]() Should’ve given Robert the 20% because, as Mark would say, “would you rather have 100% of a grape or 80% of a watermelon?” You were too focused on that equity, rather than the value he’d provide. I’m not trying to knock you, but how you thought you could realistically strike a deal of 500K for 10% is beyond comprehension. I don’t know how you’re doing now, but it’s been several years & I haven’t heard of your product until watching an episode of Shark Tank tonight. Why would you expect them to pay you both to work for you & for a hypothetical value that their connections & expertise would play a massive role in creating? You presented no real tangible scale strategy & your numbers, as they were, made the 10M valuation absolutely offensive to anyone with even an elementary business sense/acumen. The problem was (& why I believe you should’ve taken Robert’s deal) you were valuing its potential AFTER a shark hops on board puts in their hard work to help it get there. ![]() They laughed and said, “you better not have taken that deal.” A full level of relief went through me.Īnd the rest is history.check out some of our Best Sellers here. Talk about going from being the most stressed to utter relief. The best feeling in the world was when I called the office and told them the story. When I called and told the team, I had no idea how they were going to take the news of no deal. I knew at that exact moment we were going to be alright, both in saying no and the future of the company. We have a good friend and investor who did exactly this for a living. As I inched closer to saying yes, it all stopped. He really wanted me to reconsider and told me that we needed him to get us all these really difficult licenses if we wanted to grow. At the time, I thought that was the only way to show the world proof. I wanted to do it to validate myself and the hard work of my team that brought us to this moment. Now, I knew this going into the show but when it happens on TV and there is no going back, all your practice goes out the window. Robert then countered with $500k for 20%. Robert wanted something cool and I think footwear intrigued him as well. I fought through a few of those questions with Kevin and Lori going out. I knew valuation was going to be an issue. They each took them out of the box and a few tried them on, walked around in them, and commented on how comfy they were to wear. We had a pair of slides personalized for each Shark. I passed out the samples to each shark and they loved them. I thought the opening pitch went really well. "Hello Sharks, my name is." And we are off and running. No one says anything and there are 400 cameras everywhere.įinally, I hear someone yell “3…. Here I am looking at the Sharks and the Sharks are staring back at me. They have you stand in one spot for about 30 seconds to set the moment. It was surreal and crazy walking down to the stage. If they didn't go in together, then I was going to ask them to as part the deal. I went on Shark Tank thinking Daymond and Mark were going to both fall in love with our customized slide sandals and decide to go in together. Barbara Corcoran was a true shark, Daymond John wanted to invest in cool even though he said he didn't and Mark Cuban, well I could never figure out Mark. ![]() Kevin O'Leary is the guy who loves giving everyone a hard time. I also THOUGHT I knew WHY each deal was done or not done. I knew every startup that went on the show and pitched and knew the outcomes. The stress of the moment came from having watched every episode on for the first 7 seasons of Shark Tank. Yes, this includes any test that I have ever taken for school. Going on Shark Tank in September 2016 was far and away the most stressed I have ever been. In July 2018, Twitter deleted 70 million accounts it had deemed spammy, inactive, or which were displaying “erratic” behavior that indicated they were likely bots.Twitter is taking steps to clean up the platform and rid it of fake, spammy, and bot accounts. Tweetbotornot: an open-source package for developers created by Michael Kearney, a professor at the Informatics Institute in the University of Missouri.: a Chrome extension developed by two students at the University of California, Berkley. It specifically detects political propaganda bots.Botometer: an application developed by the Indiana University Network Science Institute ( IUNI) and the Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research ( CNetS).Some applications have also been developed to detect bots and are available for public use. There is often no biography, or indeed a photo, associated with bot Twitter accounts.Short replies to other tweets can also indicate automated behavior.Many bots tweet the same content as other users at roughly the same time.The account may have a high number of followers and also be following a lot of accounts conversely, some bot accounts are identifiable because they send a lot of tweets but only have a few followers.The account’s tweet frequency is higher than a human user could feasibly achieve.The account primarily retweets content, rather than tweeting original content.Many bot user names contain numbers, which can indicate automatic name generation.Many Twitter bots have a relatively recent creation date.Some typical characteristics of bots on Twitter include: Now you know what a bot is, but the bigger question is would you know a bot if you encountered one? Depending on the level of stealth employed by a bot, some are easier to detect than others. The account may include human interaction, but function as a bot at other times, to appear as a regular human user account. ![]() Some bot administrators will employ stealth tactics to conceal the properties of a bot, so it is important to note that some bots may not be bots all of the time. A Knight Research Foundation study published in October 2018 identified a core network of heavily connected Twitter accounts that spread fake news links. Due to the high number of followers this core network has stories can spread quickly. ![]() In a study carried out by Pew Research Center in April 2018, it was reported that approximately two-thirds of all tweeted links to popular websites were attributed to bots. There are entire networks of bots that push content to the public and heavily follow each other to make the accounts appear legitimate. A research paper produced by Indiana University in March 2017 found that 15 percent of all Twitter accounts were bots.Ī lone Twitter bot won’t facilitate the mass distribution of election material, “fake news”, or certain ideas. ![]() In the case of a campaign, however, political or otherwise, they are normally used to generate mass interest in specific content by spreading messages at a rate that isn’t possible with human users. Many are used to perform important functions, such as tweet about earthquakes in real-time and serve as part of a warning system. Twitter bots are automated user accounts that interact with Twitter using an application programming interface (API). These bots can be programmed to perform tasks normally associated with human interaction, including follow users, favor tweets, direct message (DM) other users and, most importantly, they can tweet content, and retweet anything posted by a specific set of users or featuring a specific hashtag. ![]() At the top there's a field named " target", that has the path to the JC4 exe fileĮ.g.

Also, words with six syllables have primary stress on the first syllable. Words with “five syllables have primary stress on the first syllable.” An example is which means ‘stress’. However, when primary stress is marked in a third syllable it can also be consider as a secondary stress according to Canonge’s but an “exception to this case is when both a proclitic and prefix are used.” An example of a third syllable stress is which means 'stopped and lay down'. In the following data where primary stress appears it will be shown as an “acute accent.” Primary stress is found in words or compounds of three, six and five syllables. In addition, “when a pronoun is suffixed by, for instance a postposition, the pronoun does take primary - and initial - stress.” An example is nɨ-pia, which means my mother (my-mother). Primary stress is “marked when it is non-initial stress”. Secondary stress is placed on the second syllable of a two-syllable word, the third syllable of a word with three, four, or five syllables, and the fourth syllable of a word with six syllables. Additionally, possessive pronouns, which serve as proclitics, do not affect the stress of a word (so that nʉ + námi 'my sister' retains its stress on the /a/ in námi). Exceptions to this rule, such as in the words Waʔsáasiʔ, meaning ' Osage people', and aná, meaning 'ouch!', are marked with an acute accent.įor the purpose of stress placement, the diphthongs /ai/, /oi/, and /ui/ act as one vowel with one mora. As with the vowel charts, the basic symbols given in this chart are in the IPA, whereas the equivalent symbols in the conventional orthography are given to the right of them in parentheses and boldface.Ĭomanche stress most commonly falls on the first syllable. ConsonantsĬomanche has a typical Numic consonant inventory. Unstressed short vowels are usually devoiced when /s/ or /h/ follows and optionally when word-final. Short vowels can be either voiced or voiceless. Short vowels can be lengthened when they are stressed. An example of a long vowel is the (ee) in meaning 'turtle'. Long vowels are never devoiced and in the orthography they are represented as (aa, ee, ii, oo, uu, ɨɨ). In the conventional orthography, these vowels are marked with an underline: a̱, e̱, i̱, o̱, u̱, ʉ̱.Ĭomanche distinguishes vowels by length. Note that Comanche also has voiceless vowels, but they are non-phonemic and therefore not represented in this chart. In the following chart, the basic symbols given are in the IPA, whereas the equivalent symbols in the conventional orthography are given to the right of them, in parentheses and boldface. Historically, there was a certain amount of free variation between and (as shown by comparison with Shoshoni cognates), but the variation is no longer so common and most morphemes have become fixed on either /ai/ or /e/. In addition, there is the common diphthong /ai/. Phonology VowelsĬomanche has a typical Numic vowel inventory of six vowels. The college is conducting a language recording project, as the language is "mostly oral," and emphasizing instruction for tribal members. Comanche language courses are also available at the Comanche Nation College. An online class is available from the Learn Comanche organization, and the Comanche Language and Cultural Preservation Committee offers dictionaries and language learning materials. Army to send messages conveying sensitive information in the Comanche language so that it could not be deciphered by the enemy.Īs of July 2013, there are roughly 25-30 native speakers of the language, according to The Boston Globe. A group of seventeen young men referred to as the Comanche Code Talkers were trained and used by the U.S. The Comanche language was briefly prominent during World War II. The second generation then grew up speaking English, because of the belief that it was better for them not to know Comanche. In the late 19th century, Comanche children were placed in boarding schools where they were discouraged from speaking their native language, and even severely punished for doing so. Although efforts are now being made to ensure its survival, most speakers of the language are elderly. Now that we are done with the F2L, we should now orient the yellow pieces to face upwards. This advanced F2L requires a lot of practice, along with looking ahead.ĪLSO READ: “Everything about the Rubik’s Cube – You never knew.” OLL (Orienting Last Layer) Now if we group the algorithm together it will be something likeĬomplete the First two layers using the above steps, whichever you may find easier. U2, it will bring the edge with red color facing front to match with the red centerpiece.There are a total of 42 cases in this step with 42 different algorithms to fix it, but since this is a guide and not an algorithm table, I will give you the tips with which you don’t have to learn all the 42 algorithms. Then we will take two pieces to the top layer, if it’s not in the top layer, and pair them together and push it to their desired location. So, what we do here is find the two pieces which will make the pair, for example the white corner piece with red and blue color, and the 2nd layer edge piece with red and blue color will make the pair. And after making the cross you were supposed to place the white corners and then push the 2 nd layer edge pieces, right?īut in this guide, we will be making the cross and then pair the white corner pieces with their respective 2 nd layer edge pieces and push them to their locations together which will ultimately create the 2 layers at the same time. You know how to make cross, I taught this in beginner’s guide of how to solve a Rubik’s cube. F2L (First two layer)į2L consists of two-part, first making the cross of the Rubik’s cube, then completing the 2 layers at the same time. I say it the shortcut algorithms because they save a lot of time. So, there are a number of algorithms for every type of case we could come across while solving it. We needed to repeat some algorithms many times until we get our result, which was time-consuming enough. The beginner’s guide required just 11 algorithms to solve the Rubik’s cube, which was easy. ![]() The shortcut algorithms or you say the cheat algorithms L: Rotate the middle and the left layer together just like L with the right layer fixed.īasically, all the small letter notations are performed by combining its capital letter notation along with the middle layer. R: Rotate the middle and the right layer together just like Rwith the left layer fixed. U: Rotating the top and the middle layer clockwise together just like U with the bottom layer fixed.ĭ: Rotate the middle and the bottom layer together just like D with the top layer fixed. However not everyone can solve it within 30 seconds, so if you can, then you are different from normal people, which means your eye-hand coordination and muscle memory are way better than that of an average person. ![]() Practicing the advanced guide will make you reach 30 seconds mark in solving time, which is great progress.
