Appearance: Rosamond has long black hair, parted to the left. Her hair is wavy, and falls to the small of her back. Parts of her hair are pulled back, away from her face, and are held back in place by a bright red hair ribbon. Her eyes are bright green, and she has a very slender physique, with a modest bust.

Style: She has a very formal and girlish style of dressing, and her clothes are normally in muted shades. Examples of her outfits can be found here and here.

Makeup: Very light eye makeup. Usually seen with red lip tint.

𝓥𝓸𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓼

Voice actress: Kudou Haruka

𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪

Personality: A serious and fussy girl, Rosamond rarely diverts from a stern expression. Far too serious for her own good, she often seems somewhat cold and intimidating because of her stoic nature, in which she displays a strict emotion most of the time. She tends to stubbornly deny liking or being fond of certain things, and also denies smiling or laughing, if she’s caught making such gestures. She also has a blunt side to her personality and can come across as cold or condescending.

Rosamond is fairly stiff and sharp, and is highly stubborn when trying to do what she believes is best for others. She is polite and very formal, and addresses upperclassmen as “senpai”, and her peers by their last names. She does not look kindly upon nicknames, but tolerates them when given by people she is close to. She is prone to making snide or rude remarks when annoyed and angered, or if she feels that people are not performing up to their standards.

She can be kind and caring as well, but doesn’t flaunt that side of her, nor does she draw attention to it. Kind acts are done by Rosamond in secret and usually without being asked, such as by turning on the lights when someone is reading, or setting a plate of fresh-cut fruits down for them after they’ve been studying for a while.

Alignment: Neutral Good

Strengths: Persistent, loyal, caring, reserved, self-reliant, independent, solemn, diligent, level-headed

Flaws: Haughty, prim, stubborn, overly-serious, feisty, prideful, distant, sharp-tongued, a perfectionist

𝓟𝓪𝓼𝓽

The Khan family have been soldiers and warriors guarding the Land of Flowers for generations, and to the Khan family, being called to serve is the highest honour. Rosamond was expected to follow in their footsteps as well, and she would train diligently, determined to make her family proud. However, no matter how hard she trained, she would never be able to meet the high standards and expectations imposed by her father, a fact which still pains her, as she wants nothing more than to be acknowledged by her family. Her inferiority and lack of self-confidence would further be emphasised when her magic developed, further proving that she was not made for war, as her father had told her, his words cruelly ringing out in her head.

Rosamond would later enroll in Night Raven College, and would be surprised, and a tad upset when the mirror placed her in Khan Zhao, as the atmosphere reminded her a little too much of home. At first, she is reluctant to interact with her dorm mates, and is even more reluctant to ask for their help, but slowly, after getting to know them, Rosamond tries to act more kindly to her dorm mates and tries to get to know them more.

𝓢𝓹𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓼

Rosamond’s magic is plant and flower-based and is suited more for support and recovery. Her current goal is training until she can master attack spells. She views her magic as being a source of shame to her family, and rarely uses it if she can avoid it.

Healing Cradle, Balm of Gilead: The user summons a plant called the balm of gilead, and uses them to form a spherical cradle around the user or another target. The user is able to generate multiple cradles to heal multiple people at once. However, each cradle can only contain a single person. One of the disadvantages of the spell is the requirement of the user or anyone to stay within the cradle for a period of time until the injuries are healed. During this time, they are defenceless against any attacks. The spell has been proven to be quite powerful as it can heal someone from dying of a critical injury in a short time.

Healing Shower of Apple Blossoms: The user grows a tree, and by standing under the falling blossoms, the user and the targets are able to be healed of their injuries. However, the spell takes a considerable amount of time to heal injuries and is unsuitable to be used for critical and life-threatening injuries.

Cherry Blossom Blizzard: The user generates a large amount of cherry blossoms that can obscure the vision of enemies on the battlefield.

Thorns of The Briar Rose: The user conjures vines with thorned roses, forming a barrier that can protect or confine people.

Unique Magic: The Dark Side of The Moon. Invoking her unique magic casts a shadow around the target, and whoever steps into the shadow will have their five senses (sight, taste, hearing, feeling and smell) cut off.

𝓣𝓻𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓪

- Rosamond prefers tea to coffee, but has to add at least three cubes of sugar into her tea. She also enjoys drinking bubble tea, and frequently tries new flavours.

- She wears combat boots, and keeps knives tucked away in them, just in case.

- Rosamond has a pet dog, but had to leave him at home.

- Rosamond is a skilled rider, who loves to ride. Her riding is the one thing that her father could not find fault with.

- She wakes up at five every morning to train.

- Rosamond gets cold easily, and suffers most during winter. She rarely leaves the dorm without being bundled up in a heavy jacket.

- Although her best subject is PE, she maintains A grades in her other subjects as well.

- Her favourite fruits are apples.

- Her favourite dessert is tanghulu.

Item #: SCP-023

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-023 is to be contained in a standard 5 x 5 m Containment Unit. SCP-023 is to be contained in a walled-off intersection of two (2) corridors at Site ██, with at least three (3) meters of space in each direction, and false doors at three (3) of the four (4) ends, in addition to the real door. Security cameras will be placed and maintained above all four (4) doors.

At all times, SCP-023's eye sockets are to be filled with spherical inserts made of hard rubber. Eye inserts must be replaced as they degrade. Degradation can be monitored by measuring the brightness of the "burning" effect as observed by security footage. Brightness greater than 12 candela requires that the inserts be replaced within twelve (12) hours. Eye inserts are only to be replaced individually, and only after the sun has completely set. Personnel are not to look directly into eye sockets of SCP-023 at any time.

Following Incident 023-27 all reflective surfaces, including displays, monitors, and eye-wear of any sort are not permitted within 30 meters of SCP-023's cell. This includes monitors linked to security cameras within its enclosure. Security personnel posted at checkpoints outside both corridors will enforce and adhere to this measure.

Experimentation involving SCP-023 has been suspended indefinitely.

Description: SCP-023 is a large, sexless shaggy canine (1.5 meters at the shoulder) with black fur. It has bright orange-red eyes and prominent teeth (see Incident Report 023-26). Any time an individual makes eye contact with SCP-023, either that person or a member of their immediate family will die exactly one (1) year after eye contact is broken. Research into the method of selection is incomplete due to a moratorium on experiments, but the available data suggests that having a larger immediate family lessens the chance of the individual making eye contact themselves dying, and neither a pattern nor a preference in victim types has been found. This may indicate that SCP-023's victim is designated entirely at random, but it is unknown whether this selection occurs at the beginning or at the end of the one-year time period. Attempts to terminate an individual who has made eye contact with SCP-023 and their entire immediate family before the one-year time period has ended [DATA EXPUNGED].

Autopsies of individuals killed by SCP-023's effect show that, while outwardly appearing unharmed, their remains have been 'filled in' with highly compacted ash, including but not limited to all organ systems and the circulatory system. Muscle tissue, bones, and brain tissue universally show signs of exposure to temperatures above ██°C.

If not contained in a setting that at least superficially resembles a "crossroads", SCP-023 will phase through walls to get to the nearest suitable location, incinerating all materials it passes through.

SCP-023 was first brought to the Foundation's attention when it attacked a church in ███████ while it was in session, killing █ civilians directly and [REDACTED] as a result of eye contact. Following retrieval of SCP-023, Class-B amnestics were administered to all witnesses and surviving victims. The incident was covered up as a case of arson.

Addendum 023-001: SCP-023 broke containment on ██/██/████ by passing through its cell wall (Incident 023-01). SCP-023 was later discovered at the intersection of two (2) corridors elsewhere on Site-███. Agent █████ noted SCP-023's similarity to a [REDACTED]. Special Containment Procedures for SCP-023 updated. Assistant Researcher ███████ issued a reprimand for negligence.

Addendum 023-002: SCP-023 has been responsible for the deaths of ███ personnel and ██ civilians since it was first brought into containment on 10/12/██94.

Addendum 023-003: Request for reclassification to Keter pending.

Addendum 023-004: Due to both anomalies focusing on specific geographic spaces, their destructive capabilities, and canine appearance, it is possible that SCP-1111-1 may be a variant of the same phenomenon observed in SCP-023, or vice versa. Investigation into the origin of both anomalies is ongoing. Due to the inability to capture SCP-1111-1 for study, investigations are currently focused on SCP-023.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Incident Report 023-26

SCP involved: SCP-023

Personnel involved: Dr. ████████, 5 D-Class personnel

Date: ██/██/██ - ██/██/██

Location: Site ██

Description: In an attempt to curtail the danger posed by SCP-023, Dr. ████████ has approved the removal of both 023's eyes and teeth. Immediately after both its eyes were removed, SCP-023 breached security by vanishing completely. SCP-023 was re-obtained on a stretch of Interstate ███ at 4:37 P.M., and brought back into containment, where D-Class personnel finished pulling out its teeth. While the total number of civilians exposed to SCP-023 during this period is unknown, death record monitoring has tied 9 civilian deaths to this incident.

Timestamps confirmed over the course of the next 48 hours that SCP-023 vanished only while the sun was visible in the sky from outside Site ██.

Addendum-023-026-1: As of ██/██/████, Dr. ████████ has been suspended pending disciplinary review for contributing to, if not being directly responsible for, Incident-023-26. Dr. ████ is now in charge of SCP-023.

The increased difficulties in containment that have been incurred as a result of Dr. ████████ should serve to remind all personnel of The Foundation's purpose. Secure, Contain, and Protect. Research, experimentation, convenience, and even the safety of Foundation personnel are secondary concerns. We are not working to protect ourselves.

O5-██

Addendum-023-026-2: A total of █ bodies with a time of death exactly one year after Incident 023-26 have been identified as consistent with SCP-023 exposure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Incident 023-27

SCP involved: SCP-023

Personnel involved: Dr. ████, [DATA EXPUNGED]

Date: ██/██/██

Location: Site-██

Description: Timeline of events:

00:00:10 – A pair of glass eyeballs are inserted into the eye sockets of SCP-023 by two D-Class personnel.

00:00:15 – Glass eyes take on an orange-red glow, similar to what SCP-023's real eyes looked like before removal.

00:03:13 – Molten glass begins to run out of SCP-023's eye sockets.

00:05:54 – [DATA EXPUNGED] appear on all lenses, windows, mirrors, monitors, and glass surfaces at Site-██.

00:06:12 – Evacuation of Site-██ ordered.

06:54:07 – Sun visible over horizon. D-class personnel sent in to check area around SCP-023's enclosure. [DATA EXPUNGED] gone. Only trace of SCP-023 is a burnt section of floor around a puddle of colored glass.

Personal Log of: Dr. ████

Date: ██/██/████

It's my fault. I have doomed my research team, and possibly the rest of the facility. All that's left is to keep trying. We must contain SCP-023.

Note: On ██/██/████, one year after Incident 023-27, ███ personnel were interred in an unmarked mass grave outside Site-██.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How Did US Stimulus Checks Impression On-Website Visitors and Conversions? [Case Study]

New Post has been published on http://tiptopreview.com/how-did-us-stimulus-checks-impact-on-site-traffic-and-conversions-case-study/

How Did US Stimulus Checks Impression On-Website Visitors and Conversions? [Case Study]

As a Senior Analytics Strategist working at an company with shoppers throughout industries, I’ve seen wildly contrasting efficiency all through the pandemic. Sure online retailers and auto websites have been far surpassing any historic efficiency, whereas others needed to in the reduction of budgets considerably. The variances in income performances additionally empirically correlated with time frames when the general public acquired extra assist, within the type of stimulus checks.

My staff at Portent performed the research detailed under to confirm our hypotheses that the pandemic precipitated income will increase in online retailers and auto industries, and that these spikes correlated with stimulus distributions. We found just a few particular elements that elevated the chance of confirming our speculation alongside the best way.

“Unprecedented” has undoubtedly been the phrase of the 12 months, and it’s touched all features of life and enterprise. There have been adjustments in shopper habits throughout all industries — we’ve sadly seen swaths of shutdowns particularly markets whereas others have sustained or are even thriving. This publish will present some observations in online habits together with some shopper knowledge that needs to be used as predictive indicators by means of the remainder of the pandemic.

The research

The observations of adjustments in online habits have been pulled and anonymized from 16 of our shoppers throughout eight totally different industries. We narrowed these eight industries down to a few classes outlined by Google Analytics for the needs of this evaluation: Purchasing (10), Journey (three), and Autos & Automobiles (three).

The websites included on this evaluation have been restricted to the US the place potential and ranged in month-to-month income from $16Ok to $103Ok and in month-to-month periods from 4K to 44Ok.

Remark #1: Stimulus checks resulted in will increase in online habits

Stimulus checks initiated the primary revival of spending for the reason that begin of the pandemic. Granted, it was solely a couple of month between the primary discover of a lockdown and the start of stimulus funds. Nevertheless, that improve in spend remained at increased ranges after nearly all of stimulus checks have been distributed for many websites on this evaluation—in fact, excluding the Journey websites.

The primary spherical of stimulus checks offered some type of aid to single Individuals that made lower than $99Ok a 12 months, with those that made lower than a $75Ok wage receiving the total $1,200. There were differences in limits depending on whether you have children or how you filed your taxes.

There was a noticeable leap in each periods and income throughout the (1) week of April 13th, when $80M value of stimulus funds have been deposited for taxpayers who had direct deposits arrange. By the (2) week of April 20th, extra rounds of deposits have been made to those that manually arrange direct deposits by means of the IRS. And by the (three) week of June third, the IRS had delivered $270B in stimulus checks to Individuals. At this level, income and periods started to normalize under that interval of stimulus distributions till the plain Black Friday gross sales occurred.

Remark #2: The affect relies upon in the marketplace

There have been apparent industries that have been impacted most by the adjustments in shopper habits and are nonetheless barely recovering: journey, in-store retail, and eating places, to call people who have been hit the toughest. However, some industries are literally performing higher than earlier than, akin to online retail gross sales and meals and beverage shops.

The analyses from S&P Global and the U.S. Census Bureau have been precisely mirrored in our research as properly. By the tip of November, the typical income for the Purchasing websites in our evaluation was 27.5% increased than our dip seen in March whereas periods have been 24.four% increased.

What got here as a shock, nonetheless, was that the Autos & Automobiles websites really sustained increased averages than the Purchasing websites. The websites on this business noticed 26.eight% increased periods and 36.eight% increased income in comparison with the dip seen at first of the pandemic and likewise properly above prior ranges at first of the 12 months.

The stark leap in periods and income additionally aligned with when the distribution of stimulus checks started. In hindsight, the rise in shopper spending on this business might have been anticipated contemplating the restrictions and worry related to touring by aircraft. On-line habits is increased in the summertime months as properly, as those that have been turning into stressed from quarantining started to take highway journeys to fulfill their wanderlust.

There have been just a few different predictable traits that we recognized in our research:

There was one fast spike in athletic put on purchases with the typical sustaining increased than pre-pandemic ranges.

There was a protracted spike in income and particularly site visitors for baking items and flour purchases, which remained at a lot increased ranges in comparison with prior numbers. Then there was the seasonal inflow of curiosity throughout the holidays. Apparently, the conversion charge was 123% increased throughout the holidays in comparison with its peak at first of the pandemic.

With mother and father and households caught at house, there was an exponential and prolonged development in online habits for kids’s toys. Though the expansion has tapered, it continues to see an upward pattern.

As anticipated, journey websites have taken the most important hit out of our research with a major drop that has resulted in little to no restoration. The rise in income and periods in the summertime is nearly fully attributed to a resort that noticed an identical improve in curiosity from the wanderlusts of the Autos & Automobiles websites.

Remark #three: There’s a optimistic correlation between AOV and % change in income

There was a reasonably sturdy correlation of zero.76 between common order worth (AOV) and % change in income YoY* for Purchasing websites solely. The patron habits on Autos & Automobiles websites was extra depending on stimulus checks and climate whereas the habits on Journey websites was depending on the sensation of security.

*The info on this chart was pulled with the next notes:

YoY comparability was for November 2019 vs. November 2020 (November being the very best performing month primarily based on seasonality)

Two anomalies have been excluded from this knowledge: (1) A flour firm and, (2) An organization with an AOV of almost $2K

This one makes intuitive sense if you concentrate on who’s been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Industries which can be nonetheless thriving are ones that have been capable of extra simply transition to 100% distant work and ones that had sufficient funds to climate some dropoff in clientele. Those that have been lucky sufficient to be employed in these industries throughout this time are additionally extra prone to be paid increased than the median. Actually, only 30% of parents earning $200K or more lost their jobs for the reason that pandemic, in comparison with 65% of oldsters incomes lower than $25Ok. Those that misplaced jobs in increased revenue brackets have been additionally extra possible to have the ability to discover work once more.

Excessive-income spenders weren’t considerably impacted by the pandemic except for the primary few months, throughout which the change in shopper spending got here from uncertainty. Though high- and low-income brackets each noticed important drops in spending initially, high-income customers returned to ranges corresponding to January 2020 whereas low-income customers have been nonetheless about 10% under on common by means of September 2020.

Issues to forecast future efficiency

There’s fairly truthfully nothing novel on this evaluation that hasn’t been surfaced by means of market analysis, and these observations have been corroborated by financial knowledge. The important thing takeaways listed below are to concentrate to the traits we’re seeing, take into consideration how they relate to your audience or buyer, and take note of new developments which will sign a shift towards normalcy as soon as once more as you re-enter the digital marketplace.

Keep knowledgeable of financial traits

Sustain-to-date with economic research published by S&P and monitor news releases from the Bureau of Economic Analysis to determine traits in Private Earnings, Disposable Private Earnings (DPI), Gross Home Product (GDP), and Private Consumption Expenditures (PCE). The PCE started dipping in July, which correlates with the adjustments in shopper habits we noticed in our research. Though the stories don’t come out instantly, staying up to date on the route of those traits might inform your efforts.

Think about your audience

It’s essential to slim down your analysis to your audience. If your enterprise is worldwide, you possible received’t be as impacted by future stimulus checks within the US. Nevertheless, totally different worldwide markets will get well at differing charges.

Equally, it’s essential to maintain your business in thoughts. S&P is already estimating that the most-affected industries may not recover fully until 2022. Because of this industries like in-store retail, journey, and repair should discover other ways to pivot throughout this time to return to regular ranges.

When you’ve thought of your market and business, weigh the dangers primarily based in your AOV and the revenue degree of your common shopper. The upper the typical revenue degree, the extra possible it’s that your market has already recovered or the upper your chances are high of having the ability to alter efficiently.

Extra federal assist

Though the assist from the US authorities all through the pandemic has been lackluster at finest, there’s a chance of extra assist. The current spherical of stimulus checks have been extra restricted than the primary, that means the affect on shopper habits could be much less noticeable. Economists are guessing that buyers would quite save this smaller quantity than put it again into the financial system. Nevertheless, these payments needs to be accounted for in forecasting with the hopeful potential of extra (and extra important) federal assist.

The distribution of vaccinations is prone to take at the least a number of months to be impactful and probably even longer to succeed in herd immunity. Throughout this time of ahead motion within the pandemic, we’ll all want to watch and predict shopper habits in unprecedented methods till we start to see normalcy once more.

Fox news Brooks: Four lessons I learned from the draft - NFL.com

Fox news

In case you are into the roster construction task, the NFL draft is equivalent to the Immense Bowl. The league's biggest player acquisition tournament gives deal of classes that aspiring group builders can consume to place their very gain philosophies down the street. Given time to think on likely the most significant happenings that took purpose this past weekend, right here are four classes that I learned from the 2020 NFL Draft:

1) By no manner too early to procure the subsequent franchise QB

The Inexperienced Bay Packers gain been perennial contenders at some level of the final three decades attributable to their stability on the quarterback purpose. The group transitioned from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers without skipping a beat, with a pair of Immense Bowl wins, 13 division titles and 20 playoff berths with No. 4 or No. 12 on the helm.

Even although the hand off from a 3-time MVP to a young quarterback who emerged as a two-time MVP himself used to be considered as controversial on the time, it be arduous to dispute the outcomes now. With that in mind, I'm in a position to't understand why the football world is miffed by the group's option to make consume of a first-spherical select on Utah Notify quarterback Jordan Treasure.

Obvious, the switch prevented the group from theoretically adding one other offensive weapon to the mix within the short timeframe, but the quarterback is largely the most impactful purpose within the game (and potentially in pro sports). And bringing in a young passer to learn within the support of certainly likely the most finest to ever enact it gives the Packers a chance to extend their championship window deep into the 2020s.

Sounds acquainted, finest-wanting? Here is precisely how the Packers proceeded when Rodgers surprisingly fell into their laps in 2005, with Favre quiet within the midst of a Hall of Standing profession. Despite Favre coming off certainly one of his worst seasons as a expert (NFL chief in interceptions with 29) on the age of 36, his decorated resume and legendary space as a Immense Bowl winner made Inexperienced Bay's different of Rodgers a huge shock.

On the opposite hand, historical Packers GM Ron Wolf established an organizational philosophy of valuing the quarterback purpose at a top price, and he passed on those classes to his successor Ted Thompson when Thompson worked as certainly one of his assistants. Paradoxically, Packers total supervisor Brian Gutenkast worked as a longtime scout below Thompson, and those quarterback classes are indubitably embedded in his group-building philosophy.

"Ron (Wolf) traded a first-spherical select for a quarterback that no-one wanted," Gutekunst acknowledged support in February on the NFL Scouting Combine, relating to Brett Favre. "Ted (Thompson) drafted a quarterback when he had a Hall-of-Standing guy sitting there who used to be going to play at least three more years. That is produce of how I've viewed it. My first 10 years within the league, it used to be (Matt) Hasselbeck and (Aaron) Brooks and all those guys. Ron used to be in a purpose to flip those guys into picks down the street.

"I factual think the quarterback purpose is so significant that it's good to well be by no manner no longer handle it whenever you happen to think you've a chance to gain interaction a player that could well play within the league."

And so remaining weekend, the Packers scooped up a young quarterback with a ton of doable. I gain no longer think somebody expects Decide to play finest-wanting away, but he can even scrutinize game action earlier than some some are willing to admit attributable to Rodgers' injure complications over the remaining several seasons and the truth that he'll be 37 in December. While No. 12 can even indubitably earn his MVP produce with more time in Matt LaFleur's plan, the percentages are in opposition to the passe quarterback taking half in a renaissance on the purpose in Year 16 and beyond.

True to be lunge, I'm no longer hating on Rodgers or brushing off his skills or esteemed purpose in NFL history, but we shouldn't ignore the passe's declining production and output since 2016. No. 12's completion proportion and passer rating gain been neatly beneath his lofty standards (65% completion price; 100.0-plus passer rating). Furthermore, it be been five seasons since he hit the marks in support-to-support years.

With Rodgers shedding some of his trademark athleticism, which performs a vital purpose in his game as an improvisational playmaker, the Packers wished to gain interaction a long, arduous watch on the 2020 quarterback class to gain a look at if there used to be a young quarterback worth taking as an apprentice.

Studying Treasure throughout the pre-draft task, there's a lot to love about his game and his doable as an eventual QB1. The Utah Notify product tests off a form of boxes as a mobile playmaker with A-plus arm skill and a artistic game. Treasure's been loosely when put next to Patrick Mahomes (who used to be when put next to Rodgers at some level of his pre-draft review) consistent with his capacity to carry out unheard of off-platform throws interior and outside of the pocket. Even although his turnover woes and disappointing 2019 campaign gain led critics to skedaddle holes in his game, a long, arduous watch at his sophomore season gives a undercover agent of what he can even turn out to be on the next stage with more self-discipline and a focus to detail.

Put in mind, Rodgers wasn't considered as a definite thing in 2005 and there gain been even questions about his long-timeframe doable following the vital two seasons of his profession in Inexperienced Bay. This capacity that of this the Packers' gamble on Treasure and his upside can even pay off handsomely down the street if he develops into a solid quarterback after likely serving a two-year apprenticeship within the support of Rodgers. The wage cap implications connected with dumping No. 12 earlier than the discontinue of the 2022 season makes it likely that Treasure will procure at least two seasons to work on his game below LaFleur's tutelage and the philosophical shift to a more speed-oriented manner (scrutinize AJ Dillon and Josiah Degura picks) could well support the youngster excel in a "stretch-bootleg" plan that mirrors the system speed by the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams with quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jared Goff, respectively.

Pondering about Treasure's athleticism, arm skill and playmaking capacity when put next to the aforementioned QB1s, the Packers could well even gain a Immense Bowl-caliber quarterback in purpose to carry them via the next decade.

The Treasure select can even honest no longer unhealthy as a most normal one within the indicate time, but adding a young franchise quarterback to the roster paid mountainous dividends in Inexperienced Bay sooner than. It is some distance going to also happen all another time with the Utah Notify product in purpose as the heir obvious.

2) Eagles increasing a QB manufacturing facility

Treasure the Packers, the Eagles gain been met with quite the outrage over their components to draft a young QB with a top price select.

Presumably the indignation stems from who the Eagles took (Jalen Hurts) with their second-spherical different or hearing GM Howie Roseman's bodacious desire to make a "quarterback manufacturing facility" in Philadelphia, but the funding within the quarterback purpose is a finest switch must you see the panorama of the league. It be no longer a accident that the groups with the finest quarterbacks are routinely in playoff contention attributable to the QB1's impact on the of video games. Investing in a backup quarterback is love taking a undercover agent for insurance coverage in your condominium -- you gain no longer desire to pay the premiums, but you are grateful for the coverage when ache strikes.

Pondering about the Eagles' fresh history with their starter and his backups, the group indubitably understands the worth of a quality QB2 and the plan in which a succesful hold-in could well support title hopes afloat in dire conditions.

In 2017, Reduce Foles guided the Eagles to a Immense Bowl LII have interaction while incomes Immense Bowl MVP honors alongside the manner after Carson Wentz suffered a season-ending knee injure in Week 14. The following season, Foles all another time stepped in and engineered one other playoff speed after the franchise quarterback used to be sidelined in mid-December for the rest of the season with a support injure.

Even although Wentz started each game at some level of the 2019 odd season, he used to be knocked out of the Eagles' wild-card contest, forcing a 40-year-former Josh McCown into action to test out and spark the offense as an emergency hold-in.

With those recollections freshly etched within the minds of the total supervisor and head coach, the Eagles wisely made the QB2 purpose a priority this offseason. Nonetheless quite than spending gigantic money on a passe in free agency, they opted to search out a quality (and more cheap) backup within the draft. Pondering about the going price for high-discontinue backup QBs is within the $3 million-plus differ with the doable to succeed in into double digits, the Eagles are saving money and securing label lunge bet by investing in a young quarterback.

Imagine it this plan. For rather over $6 million, the Eagles gain locked up their QB2 for the next four years. Hurts will depend for factual below $1.1 million in opposition to the wage cap in 2020, per Over The Cap, which is a discount for a marquee purpose on the roster.

"For better or worse, we're quarterback developers," Eagles total supervisor Howie Roseman instructed newshounds after selecting Hurts. "We desire to be a quarterback manufacturing facility. After we accomplish these forms of choices, we always proceed to our suggestions and who we're and what we predict in, and excellent-wanting or wicked, this is who we're."

That assertion can even very neatly be laced with a twinge of conceitedness, but I understand and accept as true with Roseman's rationale in relation to devoting sources to the purpose. Quarterback play sooner or later determines the winners and losers on this league, and the wise groups gain a deep bullpen. The Eagles are simply going about their alternate in an unconventional plan.

That acknowledged, we gain viewed the New England Patriots succeed with a identical manner when they'd Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett backing up Tom Brady. The invested Day 2 picks (No. 62 total for Garoppolo in 2014; No. 91 total for Brissett in 2016) but gain been in a purpose to procure solid performance and label for his or her investments. The young quarterbacks helped the Patriots assemble a 3-1 file in 2016 at some level of Brady's suspension, and their particular particular person flashes as transient starters helped the group flip them for a draft select (Garoppolo traded to San Francisco for a second-spherical select) and a player (Brissett traded to Indianapolis for Philip Dorsett).

In Hurts, the Eagles are getting a twin-threat playmaker with a winning pedigree and impeccable personality. He led a pair of blue-blood functions (Alabama and Oklahoma) to the College Football Playoffs, while exhibiting unhurried improvements as a passer alongside the manner. With the Eagles intent on discovering a mobile playmaker to groom within the support of Wentz, Hurts used to be a logical different as a prospect.

"The keep the league is going, when he gets trip and instructing, he's going to be a precious player," Roseman acknowledged. "Our job is to carry out as many resources as we can and consume them to procure more label. That is indubitably what the draft is ready. It be about label."

While some Philly sports followers can even very neatly be pissed off that their group didn't handle more pressing desires with the different, the Eagles are hoping that their commitment to fortifying the quarterback purpose will pay dividends down the street.

"The draft is no longer about factual doing whatever is healthier for a bunch within the transient," Roseman acknowledged. "The draft is ready making wise, long-timeframe choices for your group consistent with the priorities that you just think [are] key to winning football video games. We gain received a form of football video games spherical right here the remaining three years, and I feel very assured that the decisions we accomplish are going to abet us neatly for the transient and the long-timeframe."

3) Teams building energy on energy

As a young player with the Inexperienced Bay Packers, I take into accout Hall of Standing government Ron Wolf telling me how he believed surplus at a purpose, particularly a purpose that is significant to the group's form of play, used to be serious to future success. He acknowledged stacking "energy on energy " permits a bunch to take in a vital injure to a key player, and besides gives the total supervisor with some doable alternate chips if they favor to them down the street.

From a game-planning standpoint, the addition of a blue-chip player at a purpose of depth enables the offensive or defensive coordinator to place in power a rotation that sooner or later wears opponents out. Final year, we watched the San Francisco 49ers add Reduce Bosa with the No. 2 total select to a line of defense that already featured four historical first-rounders. The 2019 Defensive Rookie of the Year enhanced the unit with his savage circulation flee talents and fanatical effort on discover how to serving to the 49ers field the NFL's second-ranked protection.

This offseason, total supervisor John Lynch tapped into the line of defense's superior depth and skill to swap out an rising celeb (DeForest Buckner) for a first-spherical select from the Indianapolis Colts that was the Reliable Bowler's change (Javon Kinlaw). Even although the passe's dominant performance received't be straightforward to change, the 49ers can even've landed an identical skill at a mighty more inexpensive label (Buckner signed a four-year, $84 million handle the Colts; Kinlaw's rookie contract is projected to be a four-year deal for spherical $15 million).

The Niners weren't the finest group to plan energy on energy within the draft. Here's a undercover agent at four different groups that added blue-chip avid gamers to already-loaded purpose groups:

Washington Redskins: DE Lumber Young. The pinnacle-ranked player within the 2020 draft didn't basically hold a purpose of want for the 'Skins consistent with the presence of Montez Sweat and Ryan Kerrigan on the perimeters, but Ron Rivera could well no longer circulation up a chance to add a premier circulation rusher to the rotation. As an A-plus athlete with a superb combination of size, energy and capacity, Young has gold jacket doable and his disruptive presence can aid the 'Skins shut the gap on their NFC East competitors. With four historical first-rounders joining Young on the frontline, the Redskins can even very neatly be in a purpose to gain a look on the blueprint that enabled the 49ers to switch to from doormat to contender in a pair of years.

Baltimore Ravens: RB J.Okay. Dobbins. It be arduous to upgrade a working game that is already considered as the finest within the alternate, but Dobbins will give the Ravens' offense plan more explosiveness within the backfield. The 5-foot-9, 209-pound workhorse is a dynamic runner with excellent imaginative and prescient, steadiness and body management. He completed his Ohio Notify profession as the second-leading rusher in faculty history on the energy of a junior campaign that culminated in a 2,000-yard season while leading the Buckeyes into the College Football Playoffs. Despite the presence of Worth Ingram, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill within the backfield, the addition of a blue-chip runner to a read-chance assault spearheaded by the reigning MVP (Lamar Jackson) can even accomplish the Ravens' working game downright frightening to shield in 2020.

Dallas Cowboys: WR CeeDee Lamb. When the Cowboys re-signed Amari Cooper to a lucrative extension, the group's work at huge receiver perceived to be completed. On the opposite hand, Lamb's finest-wanting draft-day slide keep the Oklahoma giant title squarely within the group's crosshairs, and Jerry Jones bypassed more pressing desires to add one other level scorer to the lineup. Lamb is a pure WR1 with unprecedented ball talents, hand-view coordination and working capacity. He's a rare playmaker in a position to snagging 50-50 balls alongside the boundary or taking a bubble cover the gap. With Ezekiel Elliott commanding attention as the Cowboys' major offensive weapon, Lamb can even join Cooper and Michael Gallup within the 1,000-yard club, with defenses forced to make a selection their poison when figuring out whether or no longer to discontinue the speed or circulation.

Miami Dolphins: CB Noah Igbinoghene. The Dolphins added Byron Jones to a defensive backfield that already featured a Reliable Bowler in Xavien Howard, but that did no longer discontinue GM Chris Grier and coach Brian Flores from selecting one other cornerback in Spherical 1. Igbinoghene is an explosive straight-line athlete with the tempo, quickness and burst to speed with vertical-stretch avid gamers on the perimeter. He's a brave competitor willing to switch nostril-to-nostril with the receiver on the street but quiet desires some skill refinement to be a high-discontinue playmaker on the island. That acknowledged, the Dolphins' components to make consume of an early select on a cornerback is one other example of a bunch stockpiling skill at a key purpose.

4) A 'avid gamers over system' manner

Most NFL groups title, have interaction into consideration and unhealthy prospects consistent with the avid gamers' particular particular person skills and traits (bodily and psychological) and the plan in which neatly those attributes align with the group's offensive or defensive schemes. Pondering about how most coaches and executives (in most cases stubbornly) adhere to this philosophy, it used to be refreshing to gain a look on the Dallas Cowboys' scheme for the 2020 draft continue their fresh transition to a "avid gamers over system" manner.

In theory, the components to label a player's skills over plan fit makes the review task so mighty simpler for scouts on legend of they will select avid gamers love they're filling out their Turkey Bowl squads on the park. Evaluators can simply give attention to figuring out the blue-chip prospects within the category and select out the "BPAs" (finest avid gamers on hand) when the group is on the clock.

The utilization of this philosophy locations the emphasis on movie undercover agent and the creation of real game plans to maximize a player's impact doable. Scouts are expected to bring the instructing workers the finest football avid gamers, and the instructing workers is predicted to plan or develop the playbook to swimsuit the influx of real blue-chip avid gamers.

Abet in January, Mike McCarthy clarify his group-building philosophy when he used to be requested how he would proceed about discovering avid gamers for his most neatly-appreciated defensive plan.

"I believe whenever you happen to've a system of protection where you wish a undeniable player to fit your plan, you are limiting your personnel division," McCarthy acknowledged at a press conference in January rapidly after his hiring. "We know what a Dallas Cowboys football player looks love. The length, the athletic capacity. Let's procure as many correct football avid gamers as we perchance can."

The coach used to be adamant about building a roster that facets as many stud avid gamers as likely -- irrespective of fit -- and his words gain been bigger than factual coachspeak consistent with what Cowboys government vp of player personnel Will McClay shared with newshounds this week.

"When he joined the group and we started speaking about avid gamers, certainly likely the most important issues out of his mouth used to be 'avid gamers over system,' " McClay acknowledged on Tuesday, per the group's web map. "Effectively, that rung a bell with me finest-wanting away."

One reason we can even honest no longer scrutinize as many groups deploying a avid gamers-over-system manner is that it locations a perfect bigger burden on the instructing workers to adapt in talk in self assurance to maximize the particular particular person and collective skill on the roster. Head coaches must be in a purpose to think outside of the sphere to make alternatives for the finest avid gamers to procure on to the sphere and must venture their assistants to gain interaction into consideration how a prospect can even impact the group in a purpose that can even honest no longer exist already within the fresh playbook.

"That used to be a definite thing to hear a coach articulate (avid gamers over system), on legend of most of it is system-based when they watch at issues," McClay acknowledged. "In suppose that opened the door for a form of issues."

Pondering about how many talented prospects are dismissed or devalued by groups attributable to strict schematic standards, the Cowboys' in opposition to-the-grain manner to the draft can even give them the leg up on the competitors. In a skill-pushed league with razor-skinny margins setting apart the winners from losers, the Cowboys are relying on their coaches to flip a series of blue-chip prospects into a championship-caliber group via schematic tweaks and on-field building.

If McCarthy and his workers can pull it off, we can even scrutinize more groups originate following the "BPA" mannequin.

Viking to Launch Expedition Cruises in Great Lakes, Arctic

Viking has announced plans to launch a new expedition product, called Viking Expeditions. In addition to itineraries in Antarctica in the Arctic, the brand will also sail the Great Lakes, as the two new ships planned will be built small enough to navigate the Welland Canal Locks. Plans call for the plans to launch with its first ship, the Viking Octantis, in January 2022, sailing voyages to Antarctica and the Great Lakes. A second expedition vessel, Viking Polaris, will debut in August 2022, sailing to Antarctica and the Arctic. As part of an exclusive preview, past Viking guests have been able to book select Viking Expeditions polar itineraries since October 9. Now, all expedition voyages—including the new Great Lakes itineraries—are available to the public for booking. To develop the new expedition voyages, Viking teamed up with scientific institutions including the University of Cambridge’s Scott Polar Research Institute, its lead partner. This relationship is underpinned by a major Viking endowment for scientific research into the polar regions, The Viking Chair of Polar Marine Geoscience, a Cambridge University full professorship based at the Scott Polar Research Institute, as well as a sponsorship fund supporting the Institute’s graduate students. As part of this endowment, the Institute’s scientists will undertake fieldwork on board Viking’s expedition vessels and join voyages to share their expertise with guests. Viking has also partnered with The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a globally recognized bird research facility, whose ornithologists will regularly be on board the expedition ships, providing guest advice and interaction. Additionally, Viking has partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), whose scientists will join expeditions in the Great Lakes to conduct research focused on changes in the region’s weather, climate and ecosystems. NOAA scientists may also offer lectures about the Great Lakes’ unique environment to Viking guests during these voyages.

Each ship's Owner's Suite will have a private garden with a traditional Norwegian badestamp (wood-sided hot tub) and outdoor dining table.

The New Expedition Ships

The two new expedition ships are currently under construction and will be delivered in Norway by Fincantieri’s VARD. They will be Polar Class 6-rated, and they will each have a capacity of 378 guests in 189 staterooms. Designed by the same nautical architects and engineers behind Viking’s ocean ships, the new vessels will be built small enough to navigate remote polar regions and the St. Lawrence River. Viking said that the ships’ public spaces will be “familiar to Viking’s ocean cruise guests,” but “reimagined for expeditions.” The ships will also have new public spaces purpose-built for expedition cruises. In addition to a Polar Class 6 ice rating, the ships will incorporate straight bows, longer hulls and fin stabilizers for smoother sailing, as well as U-tank stabilizers that Viking said will be able to decrease rolling by up to 50 percent when the ships are stationary. Highlights of the new ships include: The Hangar: This enclosed, in-ship marina permits the launch of small excursion craft through the ship’s multiple shell doors. An 85-foot slipway allows guests to embark on RIBs from a flat, stable surface inside the ship, shielded from wind and waves. There is also a FerryBox, a set of instruments continuously collecting and displaying data on water quality, oxygen content, plankton composition and more. The Laboratory: Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, while hosting guests, will also be working research vessels with an onboard team of Viking Resident Scientists working on a variety of studies. Developed in consultation with Cambridge University and Viking’s other academic partners, The Laboratory, at 430 square feet, is designed to support a broad range of research activities and is equipped with wet and dry laboratory facilities, a sample processing area, fume cupboard, freezer and cool storage, comprehensive microscope optics and extensive bench space for analysis-specific instruments. Guests will have supervised access to The Laboratory, which is located in a glass-enclosed mezzanine above The Hangar, to learn from and participate with scientists undertaking primary research. Expedition Equipment: Viking will offer a variety of ways for guests to experience their destination, according to their interests and activity level, at no extra charge. With a program of complimentary experiences, expedition equipment available for guests on Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris will include a fleet of Zodiacs; a fleet of two-seater Arctic-tested kayaks; and two 12-seater convertible RIBs. Each ship will also have two six-guest submarines with revolving seats and 270-degree spherical windows. Guests will also receive a Viking Expedition Kit with items such as boots, binoculars and waterproof pants; each excursion will also carry a full range of Safety Equipment, such as satellite phones, VHF radios, ropes, life jackets and a comprehensive shore survival kit; and all guests will receive complimentary use of Viking Excursion Gear, which includes specialty items like trekking poles, snowshoes and skis. The Aula & Finse Terrace: A venue for learning at sea, The Aula will be a panoramic auditorium at the stern. Inspired by the University of Oslo’s famed ceremonial hall where the Nobel Peace Prize was historically awarded, The Aula will serve as a venue for lectures and entertainment, with floor-to-ceiling windows and 270-degree views. Adjacent to The Aula through sliding glass walls is the Finse Terrace, an outdoor lounge area with comfortable couches and warming lava rock “firepits” whre guests can take in panoramic views of the surroundings. Together the two spaces can be combined to create an indoor-outdoor al fresco experience. Nordic Balcony: All staterooms onboard Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris will have a Nordic Balcony, a sunroom that converts into an al fresco viewing platform. The balconies will have floor-to-ceiling, distortion-free glass windows at the very edge of the ship, the top of which will lower to transform the stateroom into a sheltered lookout, with an observation shelf at elbow level to stabilize binoculars or a camera. Guests can choose from six stateroom categories that range from 222 square feet to 1,223 square feet: Nordic Balcony, Deluxe Nordic Balcony, Nordic Penthouse, Nordic Junior Suite, Explorer Suite and Owner’s Suite. All staterooms have a Nordic Balcony, as well as a king-size bed and large bathroom with spacious glass-enclosed shower, heated bathroom floor and anti-fog mirror. Every stateroom is also equipped with a floor-to-ceiling drying closet that circulates warm air to dry and store clothing and expedition gear. Expedition Ship Suites: Nordic Junior Suites (322 square feet) and Explorer Suites (580 square feet) on Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris will aim to be comparable to those on Viking’s fleet of ocean ships, with wood detailing and amenities that include additional storage and seating, an expanded bathroom with extended shower and double sinks, welcome champagne, a fully stocked mini-bar replenished daily, complimentary laundry and shoeshine services, priority restaurant reservations and more. Explorer Suites have two separate rooms, a Nordic Balcony and a full outdoor veranda. Additionally, each ship has one Owner’s Suite, which at 1,223 square feet, is twice the size of the Explorer Suites. With the most exclusive accommodations and amenities on board, it has two separate rooms—a living room with a six-seat dining table and a bedroom – as well as a 792-square-foot private garden with a traditional Norwegian badestamp (wood-sided hot tub) and outdoor dining table. Aquavit Terrace & Pools: Located at the stern and with a retractable glass dome, this indoor-outdoor heated sanctuary will have three different temperature-controlled pools, including an “inside-out” swimming experience. The Nordic Spa & Fitness Center: In keeping with Viking’s Nordic heritage, The Nordic Spa onboard is designed with the holistic wellness philosophy of Scandinavia in mind—with a thermal suite that has a Sauna, Snow Grotto and chaise lounges, as well as a warm hydrotherapy pool and badestamp (hot tub), surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. It will also have a fitness center. Explorers’ Lounge: Similar to Viking’s ocean ships, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris have a two-deck Explorers’ Lounge at the bow of the ship for taking in the scenery through double-height windows over a mug of mulled wine or glass of Norwegian aquavit. Dining Choices: Viking’s expedition ships will offer an array of dining options that build on the venues from Viking’s ocean ships, but which have been redesigned for expeditions. The Restaurant will offer fine dining serving regional cuisine and always-available classics; the casual World Café will be a new “market” concept that offers live cooking, an open kitchen, bakery, grill and premium seafood and sushi choices, as well as a range of international flavors; Mamsen’s, named for “Mamsen,” the Hagen family matriarch, will serve Scandinavian-inspired fare; Manfredi’s will offer Italian cuisine; and 24-hour room service will be complimentary for all guests. Enrichment Onboard and On Shore: Viking’s exclusive partnerships with the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge University and The Cornell Lab of Ornithology will match researchers and educators with each expedition. The onboard expedition program is designed to prepare guests for their onshore experiences, with more than 25 experts accompanying each journey—the Viking Expedition Team (expedition leader and staff, photographer and submarine pilots) and Viking Resident Scientists (biologists, botanists, geologists, glaciologists, oceanographers, ornithologists, polar experts and researchers). Onboard, guests will enjoy daily briefings and lectures about their destination—and engage with working scientists from renowned academic institutions in The Laboratory or participate directly in citizen science programs. On shore, guests can assist in fieldwork or interact through experiential activities during landings—such as monitoring birds to help identify migratory patterns; accompanying scientists to collect samples; or taking their cameras ashore alongside a professional photographer to learn how best to capture scenic landscapes. Sustainable Features: Compliant to all guidelines and regulatory requirements from AECO, IAATO, the Antarctic Treaty System and the Governor of Svalbard, Viking’s expedition ships minimize environmental impact and meet the most stringent emissions and biosecurity standards, the cruise line said. Additionally, the straight bow reduces fuel consumption, and a dynamic positioning system enables the ship to hover over the seabed without anchoring, allowing access to pristine environments without damage. Fare Inclusions: Every Viking Expeditions cruise fare includes a Nordic Balcony stateroom or suite, virtually all shore excursions, all onboard meals, and all port charges and government taxes. Just as with Viking’s ocean cruises, guests will also enjoy many complimentary amenities as part of their fare, including beer and wine with lunch and dinner service; premium dining reservations; lectures; Wi-Fi; self-service laundry; access to The Nordic Spa; and 24-hour room service.

Ray Optics and Optical Instruments for Higher Secondary School Physics

Nature has bestowed us with vision to see the beautiful world. Human eye can detect electromagnetic waves within a small range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation belonging to this region is called light. We are able to see and analyse things around us due to light and a sense of vision. The light travels very fast in seconds. It can travel from one point to another along a straight line. This path is called a ray of light. This is a very important chapter in physics for 12th standard students of CBSE Board. Solutions to all the questions in this chapter can be easily found in any good solution key that provides NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Physics. Reflection and refraction are true for all surfaces. The detail information is mentioned below:

Reflection

The laws of reflection states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The incident ray, reflected ray and normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence lie in the same plane. The geometric center of the spherical mirror is called its pole while spherical lens is called its optical center. The line joining the pole and center of the spherical mirror is known as principal axis.

Refraction

The direction of incident ray of light that enters the other medium changes at the interface of two media. This phenomena is called the refraction of light.

The incident ray, refracted ray and normal to the interface at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

The ratio of angle of incidence to the angle of refraction is constant.

Demonstration of total internal reflection

All optical phenomena can be demonstrated at home with a simple technique by using laser torch Take a glass beaker with clear water. Stir the water with a piece of soap a few times, so that it turns a little turbid. Take a laser torch and shine its beam through the turbid water. You can observe that the path of the beam inside the water shines brightly. Also shine the beam below the beaker so that it strikes at the upper surface. Here you can see a partial refraction and reflection.

Natural phenomena due to sunlight

The colour that we see around is possible only because of sunlight. For example, blue sky, green landscape, rainbow etc. Let's discuss this with an example, a rainbow is formed due to dispersion of sunlight by the water drops in the atmosphere. This happens due to the combined effect of dispersion, refraction and reflection of sunlight. This is usually observed during the rainy day.

Scattering of light

When the sunlight travels through the earth's atmosphere. It is scattered by the atmospheric particles. The shorter wavelength of light is scattered more compared to longer wavelengths. For example, Sky. The sky is blue as it has shorter wavelength scattered more than the other colour red that has longer wavelength.

Optical Instruments

Eye

The most important optical device nature has bestowed is the eye.They are organs for the visual system. They provide vision to animals and humans. They detect light and convert to electrochemical impulses in neurons.They have rods and cons that have a sense of light and colour. The interior parts of the eye include cornea, iris and retina. Light enters through the cornea through curved surface then passes through the pupil, a center hole in the iris. The light is focused by retina. The retina contains rods and cones that can sense the light intensity and colour. And finally transmit electrical signals via optic nerve to the brain.

Microscope

It is a converging lens of small focal length. They are used to see micro objects such as cells, tissues of plants, animals and humans. In this the lens is placed near the object, and the eyepiece is positioned close to the lens on the other side. This gives a clear image of the object at a distance. There are two types of microscopes such as:

Simple microscopes: it consists of limited magnification

Compound microscope: it consists of two lenses objective and eyepiece for larger magnification.

Telescope

It is used to provide angular magnification of far away objects. This instrument consists of objective and eyepiece. The objective has a large focal length. The light from the distant object enters the objective where the real image is formed in the second focal point. The eyepiece magnifies the final image. Telescopes are generally used to see distant objects such as stars and the moon, specifically by researchers in the field of astronomy.

Viking to Launch Expedition Cruises in Great Lakes, Arctic

Plans call for the plans to launch with its first ship, the Viking Octantis, in January 2022, sailing voyages to Antarctica and the Great Lakes. A second expedition vessel, Viking Polaris, will debut in August 2022, sailing to Antarctica and the Arctic. As part of an exclusive preview, past Viking guests have been able to book select Viking Expeditions polar itineraries since October 9. Now, all expedition voyages—including the new Great Lakes itineraries—are available to the public for booking.

To develop the new expedition voyages, Viking teamed up with scientific institutions including the University of Cambridge’s Scott Polar Research Institute, its lead partner. This relationship is underpinned by a major Viking endowment for scientific research into the polar regions, The Viking Chair of Polar Marine Geoscience, a Cambridge University full professorship based at the Scott Polar Research Institute, as well as a sponsorship fund supporting the Institute’s graduate students. As part of this endowment, the Institute’s scientists will undertake fieldwork on board Viking’s expedition vessels and join voyages to share their expertise with guests. Viking has also partnered with The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a globally recognized bird research facility, whose ornithologists will regularly be on board the expedition ships, providing guest advice and interaction. Additionally, Viking has partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), whose scientists will join expeditions in the Great Lakes to conduct research focused on changes in the region’s weather, climate and ecosystems. NOAA scientists may also offer lectures about the Great Lakes’ unique environment to Viking guests during these voyages.

Free Luxury Travel Newsletter

Luxury Travel Advisor’s only newsletter, covering unique destinations and product news for affluent travelers. Delivered every Tuesday & Thursday.

Each ship’s Owner’s Suite will have a private garden with a traditional Norwegian badestamp (wood-sided hot tub) and outdoor dining table.

The New Expedition Ships

Viking said that the ships’ public spaces will be “familiar to Viking’s ocean cruise guests,” but “reimagined for expeditions.” The ships will also have new public spaces purpose-built for expedition cruises.

In addition to a Polar Class 6 ice rating, the ships will incorporate straight bows, longer hulls and fin stabilizers for smoother sailing, as well as U-tank stabilizers that Viking said will be able to decrease rolling by up to 50 percent when the ships are stationary.

Highlights of the new ships include:

The Hangar: This enclosed, in-ship marina permits the launch of small excursion craft through the ship’s multiple shell doors. An 85-foot slipway allows guests to embark on RIBs from a flat, stable surface inside the ship, shielded from wind and waves. There is also a FerryBox, a set of instruments continuously collecting and displaying data on water quality, oxygen content, plankton composition and more.

The Laboratory: Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, while hosting guests, will also be working research vessels with an onboard team of Viking Resident Scientists working on a variety of studies. Developed in consultation with Cambridge University and Viking’s other academic partners, The Laboratory, at 430 square feet, is designed to support a broad range of research activities and is equipped with wet and dry laboratory facilities, a sample processing area, fume cupboard, freezer and cool storage, comprehensive microscope optics and extensive bench space for analysis-specific instruments. Guests will have supervised access to The Laboratory, which is located in a glass-enclosed mezzanine above The Hangar, to learn from and participate with scientists undertaking primary research.

Expedition Equipment: Viking will offer a variety of ways for guests to experience their destination, according to their interests and activity level, at no extra charge. With a program of complimentary experiences, expedition equipment available for guests on Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris will include a fleet of Zodiacs; a fleet of two-seater Arctic-tested kayaks; and two 12-seater convertible RIBs. Each ship will also have two six-guest submarines with revolving seats and 270-degree spherical windows. Guests will also receive a Viking Expedition Kit with items such as boots, binoculars and waterproof pants; each excursion will also carry a full range of Safety Equipment, such as satellite phones, VHF radios, ropes, life jackets and a comprehensive shore survival kit; and all guests will receive complimentary use of Viking Excursion Gear, which includes specialty items like trekking poles, snowshoes and skis.

The Aula & Finse Terrace: A venue for learning at sea, The Aula will be a panoramic auditorium at the stern. Inspired by the University of Oslo’s famed ceremonial hall where the Nobel Peace Prize was historically awarded, The Aula will serve as a venue for lectures and entertainment, with floor-to-ceiling windows and 270-degree views. Adjacent to The Aula through sliding glass walls is the Finse Terrace, an outdoor lounge area with comfortable couches and warming lava rock “firepits” whre guests can take in panoramic views of the surroundings. Together the two spaces can be combined to create an indoor-outdoor al fresco experience.

Nordic Balcony: All staterooms onboard Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris will have a Nordic Balcony, a sunroom that converts into an al fresco viewing platform. The balconies will have floor-to-ceiling, distortion-free glass windows at the very edge of the ship, the top of which will lower to transform the stateroom into a sheltered lookout, with an observation shelf at elbow level to stabilize binoculars or a camera. Guests can choose from six stateroom categories that range from 222 square feet to 1,223 square feet: Nordic Balcony, Deluxe Nordic Balcony, Nordic Penthouse, Nordic Junior Suite, Explorer Suite and Owner’s Suite. All staterooms have a Nordic Balcony, as well as a king-size bed and large bathroom with spacious glass-enclosed shower, heated bathroom floor and anti-fog mirror. Every stateroom is also equipped with a floor-to-ceiling drying closet that circulates warm air to dry and store clothing and expedition gear.

Expedition Ship Suites: Nordic Junior Suites (322 square feet) and Explorer Suites (580 square feet) on Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris will aim to be comparable to those on Viking’s fleet of ocean ships, with wood detailing and amenities that include additional storage and seating, an expanded bathroom with extended shower and double sinks, welcome champagne, a fully stocked mini-bar replenished daily, complimentary laundry and shoeshine services, priority restaurant reservations and more. Explorer Suites have two separate rooms, a Nordic Balcony and a full outdoor veranda. Additionally, each ship has one Owner’s Suite, which at 1,223 square feet, is twice the size of the Explorer Suites. With the most exclusive accommodations and amenities on board, it has two separate rooms—a living room with a six-seat dining table and a bedroom – as well as a 792-square-foot private garden with a traditional Norwegian badestamp (wood-sided hot tub) and outdoor dining table.

Aquavit Terrace & Pools: Located at the stern and with a retractable glass dome, this indoor-outdoor heated sanctuary will have three different temperature-controlled pools, including an “inside-out” swimming experience.

The Nordic Spa & Fitness Center: In keeping with Viking’s Nordic heritage, The Nordic Spa onboard is designed with the holistic wellness philosophy of Scandinavia in mind—with a thermal suite that has a Sauna, Snow Grotto and chaise lounges, as well as a warm hydrotherapy pool and badestamp (hot tub), surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. It will also have a fitness center.

Explorers’ Lounge: Similar to Viking’s ocean ships, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris have a two-deck Explorers’ Lounge at the bow of the ship for taking in the scenery through double-height windows over a mug of mulled wine or glass of Norwegian aquavit.

Dining Choices: Viking’s expedition ships will offer an array of dining options that build on the venues from Viking’s ocean ships, but which have been redesigned for expeditions. The Restaurant will offer fine dining serving regional cuisine and always-available classics; the casual World Café will be a new “market” concept that offers live cooking, an open kitchen, bakery, grill and premium seafood and sushi choices, as well as a range of international flavors; Mamsen’s, named for “Mamsen,” the Hagen family matriarch, will serve Scandinavian-inspired fare; Manfredi’s will offer Italian cuisine; and 24-hour room service will be complimentary for all guests.

Enrichment Onboard and On Shore: Viking’s exclusive partnerships with the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge University and The Cornell Lab of Ornithology will match researchers and educators with each expedition. The onboard expedition program is designed to prepare guests for their onshore experiences, with more than 25 experts accompanying each journey—the Viking Expedition Team (expedition leader and staff, photographer and submarine pilots) and Viking Resident Scientists (biologists, botanists, geologists, glaciologists, oceanographers, ornithologists, polar experts and researchers). Onboard, guests will enjoy daily briefings and lectures about their destination—and engage with working scientists from renowned academic institutions in The Laboratory or participate directly in citizen science programs. On shore, guests can assist in fieldwork or interact through experiential activities during landings—such as monitoring birds to help identify migratory patterns; accompanying scientists to collect samples; or taking their cameras ashore alongside a professional photographer to learn how best to capture scenic landscapes.

Sustainable Features: Compliant to all guidelines and regulatory requirements from AECO, IAATO, the Antarctic Treaty System and the Governor of Svalbard, Viking’s expedition ships minimize environmental impact and meet the most stringent emissions and biosecurity standards, the cruise line said. Additionally, the straight bow reduces fuel consumption, and a dynamic positioning system enables the ship to hover over the seabed without anchoring, allowing access to pristine environments without damage.

Fare Inclusions: Every Viking Expeditions cruise fare includes a Nordic Balcony stateroom or suite, virtually all shore excursions, all onboard meals, and all port charges and government taxes. Just as with Viking’s ocean cruises, guests will also enjoy many complimentary amenities as part of their fare, including beer and wine with lunch and dinner service; premium dining reservations; lectures; Wi-Fi; self-service laundry; access to The Nordic Spa; and 24-hour room service. As part of their fare, Viking Expeditions guests will also receive charter flights for hard-to-reach locales and the use of Viking Expedition Gear specialty equipment for land and sea excursions. On polar itineraries, guests also receive their own Viking Expedition Kit, which includes everything needed to be comfortable—as well as a Viking Expeditions Jacket to keep.

The Aula will be a panoramic auditorium at the ship’s stern.
