![]() ![]() ![]() The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating,” is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds and separate accounts) with at least a 3-year history. There can be no assurances that its objective will be met. The Fund is a recently formed mutual fund and has a limited history of operations. The Fund may experience high portfolio turnover, which may result in higher costs and capital gains. These changes may be caused by governmental or political factors that affect the value of what the Fund owns and its share price. The Fund's currency investment strategy may be impacted by currency exchange rates, which can fluctuate significantly over short or extended periods of time. To the extent that the investment advisor misjudges current market conditions, the Fund's volatility may be amplified by its use of derivatives and its ability to anticipate price movements in relevant markets, underlying derivative instruments and futures contracts. Leverage may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the NAV of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. Short sales by a Fund theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase. The use of alternative investments may not achieve the desired effect.įoreign currencies and emerging markets involve certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. In addition, the performance of alternative investments may be more dependent on a sub-adviser’s experience and skill than traditional investments. Alternative investments can be highly volatile, are often less liquid, particularly in periods of stress, are generally more complex and less transparent, and may have more complicated tax profiles than traditional investments. The performance of alternative investments is not expected to correlate closely with more traditional investments however, it is possible that alternative investments will decline in value along with equity or fixed-income markets, or both, or that they may not otherwise perform in accordance with expectations. The alternative investment strategies that the Fund pursues are complex and may involve greater risk than traditional investments (stocks, bonds and cash). This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a short- to medium-term investment horizon, can accept short-term fluctuations in account value and would like to diversify their portfolio with an alternatives investment option. ![]()

![]() ![]() For example, do you want to create a star, linear, ring, or basic network topology? There are two main types of network diagrams, logical and physical. Here are the things you need to do:īefore designing or planning the Network, consider what type of network diagram you have to create. To draw a network diagram from scratch, you have to make a few preparations. Now that you have decided to work on a network diagram and are now on the stage to plan one for your organization or personal IT system, there are a couple of tips that you should follow before you start designing the network topology drawing. ![]() Preparations for Drawing a Network Topology Diagram Thus, network diagrams are also used for consumer data mapping.Ģ. It is essential to document and present the flow of that data. Various data passes from web services to the rest of the Network. Therefore, they should be accounted for and represented within a network system. These components identify access points and remedial response measures in the event of a breach or malicious intrusion. Therefore, network diagrams should document how printers fit into the company network.įirewalls and authentication tools also form part of a network diagram. Thus, printers are also integrated into an organization's IT network. Many IT personnel forget that printers also send and receive data. Modern printers are wireless and connect to multiple devices. Printers are used to create a hard copy of digital data. Routers have a bundle switch with multiple parts so that you can connect multiple devices using an Ethernet cable connection. Router passes your Internet connection to all of your devices in your home or business and directs it to all of your computers, tablets, phones, etc. Routers are used in homes, small businesses, and larger organizations. Ethernet is a wired system that uses twisted-pair copper and fiber optic wiring. It connects multiple devices so they can create, store and share information with others in the location. Network diagrams are used to track what data passes back and forth from mobile devices.Įthernet is a communication standard developed in the early 80s to network computers and other devices in a local environment such as at home or building. Employees can't carry company computers out of the premises, but it is common for careless personnel to leave mobile devices lying about. Mobile devices also present a significant risk. It is essential to understand and record what data passes between employee computers and the rest of the Network, as employees are your biggest cybersecurity risk. Businesses opt for onsite servers or cloud server hosting, depending on the size and nature of the organization.Ĭomputers are assigned as the personal workstation to employees within an organization. The main purpose of servers is to house your data. They connect to the server for a specific service. So, it is a centralized machine where multiple clients connect over the Internet or in a local area network (LAN). ![]() Here are the main components included in a professional network topology diagram:Ī server is a dedicated computer that provides services on behalf of clients, such as ordinary desktop computers or workstations. Network diagrams commonly use symbols like device, firewall, server, cloud, signal, and router. Essentially, your network drawing needs to account for every device and any digital path that connects each device. Physical network diagrams comprise pieces of hardware in a network, whereas logical network diagrams illustrate information flow in the Network. Network topology diagrams show the components of a network, how they are connected and how they work with each other. What Is Included in a Network Topology Diagram ![]() ![]() ![]()

There are many ways to do this, and the most common one is through using an online raffle generator. People use random list pickers to select winners for raffles and contents. A virtual raffle is a type of contest where a winner is chosen by chance. Input a list of up to 1000 names or other items and the name picker selects any number of them at random. This is where Secret Santa and Kris Kringle (again, derived from " Christkindl") live. The Random Name Picker randomly draws a name from your list. We continue our trip to Canada and Australia. ![]()

They will surely identify their personal and professional influences on us here. We want to thank them for working with us and for enriching our knowledge in pricing. The contents of this book reflect their influence as well. Over the years, our primary research interest has been in pricing, and we have collaborated with many first-rate scholars. We hope that they are still passionate about pricing and that they recognize in this book some of the insights they have contributed in class. For that reason, we want to thank our current and past students at the Wharton School and also at the Olin School of Business, Columbia Business School, UCLA, Indian School of Business (ISB) in India, and at the China-European International Business School (CEIBS) and Cheung Kong graduate School of Business (CKGSB) in China. Most of the material contained in this book builds on some of those discussions, which certainly helped to advance our understanding of those issues. In every chapter, we were reminded of all the students we have taught and who taught us. Writing this book has been a labor of love for us. ![]() Altogether, we must have taught pricing to four or five thousand people-from undergraduates, MBAs, and EMBAs, to professionals and business executives, both here in the U.S. This urge has grown in recent years as the pricing classes we have taught for more than a decade have grown in popularity. However, only in recent years did we realize that we are so indebted to many scholars who had written the ten thousand books that we should repay the debt by contributing one. We must have accomplished both a long time ago. 207 This page intentionally left blank Acknowledgments An old Chinese saying has it that to be a scholar, you must read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles. 119 Chapter 7: Subscribe and Save: Pricing for Marketing Profitability. 19 Chapter 2: Why the Best Things in Life Are Free. xi Introduction: Fingerprints of the Invisible Hand.

Introduction: Fingerprints of the Invisible Hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() Real aircraft do NOT immediately and strongly turn left when power is applied from the takeoff position. I resolved it by going into the in-game Sensitivity settings (small button in the top left corner of the screen) for the controller and giving it a 10% deadzone so that it won't register the slight right input. Real Aircraft Do NOT Immediately Turn Left. I've solved it! In this case, it turned out to be a controller issue where the analog stick resting point was slightly off-center. I was doing this on runway 31 at Blackpool airport EGNH. But it still keeps veering off to the left making any take off in any plane I try very tricky. ![]() It's worth mentioning that I've had no issues with controller drift in any other games using these two controllers, they seem to be just fine.Īny thoughts on what's happening here and how I can resolve this issue? I know getting a yoke is the real solution here, but I'd still like to fly a bit now. and tried to go down a runway centre line in the default cessna. I've performed the joystick calibration procedure several times on two different joysticks: VKBsim Gladiator and Logitech Extreme 3D pro. This is especially annoying on the ground. I tried swapping Aileron control to the right stick on both controllers, unplugging and re-plugging both controllers (which crashes the sim), calibrating both controllers, and restarting my PC, all to no avail. On at 4:20 PM, ejb8969 said: I can't get the yaw setting to zero out. I swapped to my other, less used Xbox One controller and had the exact same issue. I'm using an Xbox Elite controller while I look for a good deal on a yoke, so my first assumption was that the stick on this particular controller started to drift after two years of consistent usage. After checking the controller settings, I confirmed that the input bar for Ailerons was around 55% instead of the desired 50%. However, should the throttle be suddenly advanced with the tail-wheel in contact with the runway, then anticipation of this nose-left tendency is prudent.Hi folks! I managed to download FS2020 on Windows 10 (yay!) but after I loaded into the tutorial, I noticed right away that my plane was constantly pulling slightly to the right. If you would look down in the cockpit you'd see that when you throttle up the pedal moves too. I assure you that the beginning of the ground roll under full power did NOT require the need to overcome a 'left turn. Throttle and pedals both are assigned to the throttle and when you push throttle up it turns left, when you push it down it turns right. When one engine fails, the remaining engine produces more thrust on one side of the aircraft, causing the aircraft to yaw to the opposite side. A symmetric thrust is the result of an engine failure in a multi-engine aircraft. Among the skills developed in preparation for my instrument rating acquired flying a Cessna 172 was taking off under the hood. This effect can cause left turning tendencies, especially during takeoff when the aircraft is rotating. The effect is not so apparent during the landing, flare and rollout, given the relatively low power setting (propeller RPM). Such aircraft should be fitted with a left turn indicator. P-factor is insignificant during the initial ground roll, but will give a pronounced nose-left tendency during the later stages of the ground roll as forward speed increases, particularly if the thrust axis is kept inclined to the flight path vector (e.g. Tail-wheel aircraft exhibit more P-factor during the ground-roll than aircraft with tricycle landing gear, because of the greater angle of the propeller disc to the vertical. Another way to understand the system is as a Lancair (legacy X-Plane) overlaid with a King Air overlaid with a 747 you will then understand how to design many more aircraft types with it: 1. ![]() Pilots should anticipate the need for rudder when adding power or increasing angle of attack. New to X-Plane 11.35 are: GPU bleed, left pack, right pack, wing-anti ice supply, and per-engine shut-off valves. It turned left even with full right, but centered, it went straight. Unfortunately, the square of a negative number is positive. The yaw is noticeable when adding power, though it has additional causes including the spiral slipstream effect. Edit: I tried modifying a steering input, attempting to reduce the sensitivity. The clockwise turning propeller is by far the most common. For a counter-clockwise turning propeller, the aircraft has a tendency to yaw to the right. This must be countered with right rudder. Also, the rudder data output shows the rudder is constantly moving despite no input. If you look closely at the rear of the aircraft, the rudder is oscillating and this is viewable from the cockpit as well. Left : Lockheed ' Lightning ' P - 38 Interceptors are now in production for. If using a clockwise turning propeller (as viewed by the pilot) the aircraft has a tendency to yaw to the left. I have been trying to find a solution the 'wobbling' aircraft in XP12.

There are 350 developed campgrounds and RV boondocking opportunities are available at some locations. Popular activities include boating, fishing, hunting, wind-surfing, sailing, picnicking, wildlife viewing, swimming, and sightseeing. ![]() There are 289 recreation areas, totaling 6.5 million acres of land and water. The Bureau of Reclamation operates dams, power plants, and canals in the western states. Many locations have campgrounds and dry camping or boondocking is often permitted. Fishing, boating, and swimming are popular activities. The Corps of Engineers oversee 12 million acres of land and water in over 2,500 recreation areas. Hunting is often permitted on these lands so you may want to avoid RV boondocking during hunting season. Over 550 National Wildlife Refuges and thousands of wetlands are managed by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. It may be more work, however the rewards of finding a picture perfect campsite along an alpine meadow, mountain overlook, or just amidst a beautiful forest can make it all worthwhile. If you are using satellite TV or RV satellite internet you'll need a clear view of the southern sky, which can be hard to come by in a dense forest. Also, trees and overhanging branches on some roads can be a problem for larger rigs. Forest service roads usually meander through mountainous terrain making them more difficult to navigate. Typically there is a dispersed camping limit of 14 days within a 28 day period, however this can vary depending on the forest or grassland.įinding a place to camp in a national forest can be more challenging than on BLM land. After 14 days you must move outside of a 25 miles radius. Usually the camping limit is 14 days within a 28 day period. Most BLM land is open to dispersed camping and RV boondocking. Finding a place to camp is usually very easy, once off the highway and onto a gravel or dirt road. Much of it is open country where you'll have an excellent view of the scenery. Taken from the BLM website, "Most of the public lands are located in the Western United States, including Alaska, and are characterized predominantly by extensive grassland, forest, high mountain, arctic tundra, and desert landscapes."īLM land makes for some of the best RV boondocking. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) oversees about 245 million acres of land. Here's your guide to parking in paradise. It's best to stick to these established sites. When driving down a dirt or gravel road you will often see turnouts, where others have camped before. When searching for RV boondocking campsites, always stick to roads. And best of all, these sites aren't developed - they come just the way mother nature made them. You will use less water and create less wastewater, you can use solar and wind for electricity, an efficient propane heater for heat, and an energy efficient vent fan or swamp cooler for cooling.įrom mountain meadows, to vast deserts, to picturesque lakes and streams, there are countless campsites waiting to be discovered on our public lands.
![]() ![]() In the wider history of comic book movies, only Steel has a higher drop at 78%, but that released to just $870,068 in 1997. The Flash is now also a DCEU record holder for drops by no 1 debuting movies. ![]() Morbius' 73.8% record was also perilously close to being toppled, which is a narrative in itself. This would see it underperform its predecessor, 2019's Shazam, which finished first at the box office with 53.5 million in its opening weekend and went on to earn 140.5 million domestically. The film continues the story of teenage Billy Batson who, upon reciting the magic word SHAZAM is transformed into his adult Super. On top of that, according to Box Office Mojo's figures, A 73% drop puts The Flash behind only Morbius as the highest box office drop for any comic book movie that debuted at number 1, and even that topped the chart for a second weekend running, which The Flash will not. Box Office Pro estimates that the movie will earn between 43M and 52M in its opening weekend, and between 101M and 130M in total domestically. This would be lower than The Marvels debut (47M), which obviously. If not, all parties better hope for at least Shazam-level box office in North America and at least Rampage-level earnings (which included 153 million in China) or Hobbs and Shaw-level grosses. ![]() Like Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash started low and dropped far. It sounds like Shazam could be flying high once it makes its big-screen debut.According to a new. According to early predictions, Aquaman 2 looks set for a 32 million - 42 million opening weekend at the domestic box office. Other dramatic drops around the 70% mark like Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad at least commanded more than $160m in their debuts. Blue Beetle is currently tracking to make 25-32 million in its opening weekend, which would put it on par with Shazam 2’s 30 million opening. The overall picture makes the drop even more unfortunate: The Flash failed notably against Black Adam's first weekend and will struggle to get recoup enough of its combined production and marketing budgets to not be counted as a major financial loser. The new movie really never had a compelling marketing hook beyond “If you liked Shazam! here is another Shazam.” Based on the reviews and ticket sales, that was not enough to turn Fury of the Gods into a hit.According to Variety, The Flash's box office dropped by a huge 73%, eclipsing every other DCEU movie released so far. The first Shazam! also did a good job of explaining how the film was unique in a movie landscape dominated by superheroes it had a teen superhero who gets powers and gets to have fun figuring them out and turning into an adult. DC has been much more focused on hyping their upcoming slate and new DC Universe Shazam! is a holdover from the previous DCEU and it sort of felt that way if you’re the type of fan who really cares about these franchises’ overarching stories, you could safely skip Shazam! and still know what was going on (a perception that the marketing in the final few days was seemingly designed to address, but revealing the movie’s “surprise” cameo by Wonder Woman).
