![]() “We are way outside the norm we are literally at the far end of the curve,” he added. Staff shortages don’t affect only the number of officers on patrol, because they include other roles such as detectives who investigate crimes, Strachan said. The figure in the new report is also the lowest on record for the state. Washington had a net loss of nearly 500 commissioned officers in 2021, he said.įor 13 years, Washington has had the lowest number of law enforcement officers per 1,000 people among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to Strachan. The new report notes a decline in commissioned law enforcement officers in Washington by 70 individuals, to 10,666 officers total, said Strachan during a news conference on the report. The latest report notes 2,375 assaults against officers last year, up from 1,968 recorded in 2021 and 1,676 in 2018. Meanwhile, the number of assaults against law enforcement officers increased after a dip in last year’s statistics. The figure has grown in recent years, with 4,358 instances in 2020 and 5,665 in 2021, according to a review of previous reports. In 2022 there were 7,216 instances of violent crimes involving a firearm, more than triple the organization’s 2019 tally of 2,318 instances. The new annual report also shows what could be record-breaking use of firearms during violent offenses. There were also 47,448 vehicle thefts statewide last year, according to the new report, up from about 35,400 in 2021. In 2019, the state saw 205 murders, according to the new report. Still, recent numbers are a marked increase from before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Given Washington’s population growth, the overall murder rate is still effectively lower than it was in 1994, according to Steve Strachan, executive director of the nonprofit Association. The data is often debated in the Washington Legislature, where elected officials write and rewrite laws on everything from what should be a crime to directing how law enforcement officers conduct their work. The Association has released a crime report every year since 1980. ![]() ![]() Released Monday, the 2022 Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs’ annual crime statistics report also showed an increase in the number of assaults, thefts and other crimes. Washington state saw a record-high 394 murders in 2022, according to a new statewide collection of law enforcement data, up from 336 murders in the year before. Wolf says rivers have been steadily rising since the warm temperatures began, and forecasters are watching for floods this week in nearby Idaho. Water rushing into rivers causes them to run faster and higher hiking or skiing in melting snow comes with a greater avalanche risk and lakes and streams are still cool enough to cause hypothermia. The National Weather Service issued some safety warnings for recreationists who spend time near water or melting snow. The average spring temperature for early May in Seattle is 63 to 64 degrees. The Service is also expecting temperatures in the 70s in the Seattle area on Tuesday and Wednesday. The National Weather Service temperature outlook for May, June and July suggests hotter-than-average temperatures across the state, including Western Washington. But yes, this was still pretty warm for early in the season,” Wolf says. ![]() “The temperatures themselves weren’t abnormally hot by summer standards, where we often are in the 90s every day, or for several days. The weather this past weekend was 15-20 degrees hotter than average. The Inland Northwest experienced a colder-than-normal April, with temperatures 2 to 6 degrees cooler than average. Spokane had seen its first day at or above 70 degrees only a few days earlier, April 26, when temperatures reached 71. It’s uncommon to see such high temperatures in Spokane after such a cool spring, Wolf says. The Spokane forecast surprised local forecasters like Jeremy Wolf of the National Weather Service in Spokane. (Records have been kept in the Spokane area since 1881.) On Sunday, Spokane tied its hottest April 30 on record: 82 degrees Fahrenheit at Spokane International Airport, tied with that date in 1981. Eastern Washington cities are historically hotter and drier than their Western peers, but this year, some Eastern cities have been getting hotter sooner. ![]() ![]() ![]() Paragraph 1: Introduce yourself and start off with stating your reasons for becoming a social worker. The goal is to get recruiters and hiring managers to reach out to you, to start key conversations that can lead to interviews. This is your chance to reflect on who you are and your why. Tell your personal story on your LinkedIn summary. Keyword/skill examples: Case Management, Biopsychosocial Assessments, Motivational Interviewing, Mental Health (All skills should be related to the role you are trying to seek-check out job posting for the skills the employer wants.) If you have multiple skills endorsed, your profile will appear in more searches. If you endorse other people’s skills, they will return the favor. The more keywords you have listed on your profile regarding your dream role, the more your profile will appear in searches. Suggestions: You can ask previous professors, colleagues, employers for a recommendation.Īs I mentioned before, LinkedIn is a search engine. It is a way for recruiters to see listed references before they speak with you. ![]() Other suggestions: Tap into your alma mater, as well. You can go back to the job description you created for yourself and start narrowing down people in your network who can help connect you to people in their network who can bring you closer to identifying a target company. You must realize that people globally use this platform, and somebody knows somebody. They say your network is your net worth, and this is true to the very core. LinkedIn is a search engine, so the more you optimize and identify your name, the easier it is for others to find you.Įxample: You can find my own URL if you search my name, Harleny Vasquez. When you first create a profile, it is done automatically with many letters and numbers. The photo should be 400x400 pixels.Įxample: You can view my own headshot that I took with my own iPhone: ģ. If your favorite color is red, then wear a red blazer/earring. This is how you develop your personal brand. Don’t be afraid to add a little spark and bring out your personality. No need to hire a photographer-you can simply take out your personal phone and have a clear solid background. Optimize your headline and bring it meaning.ĭon’t just list, “I am a student at this university or currently employed at the following agency.” Think of the following concept: who you are, what you have to offer/scope of practice, and what is your overall goal.Įxample: Social work graduate with a focus on empowering individuals with chronic medical diagnosis through psychoeducation, individual counseling, support groups, and case management services to enhance their quality of life.Ģ. 7 Tips To Increase Your Visibility Using the LinkedIn Platformġ. Linkedin is a sales page for your career. The third step is optimizing your LinkedIn profile to become a lead magnet for recruiters. The same goes for when you are building your profile and establishing your own personal brand. If you create your own job description, you will be able to be direct when navigating the LinkedIn platform. There is so much power in being able to first identify your dream job before you allow the market to identify it for you. The second step is to visualize what you would like your ideal role to look like (age, population, setting, duties). It’s important to always remember your why when navigating the job market. The first step is to identify your “Why” and your reasons for becoming a social worker. Here are some key steps to help you become direct and intentional on the LinkedIn platform. It can give you the opportunity to find the “right” job in your area of focus. ![]() Here’s the secret: when you are direct and intentional on this platform, you will be able to see the success you desire. It’s a platform where you can build key relationships and have real conversations with real people that can lead you toward certain opportunities before they are even created. Using LinkedIn as a job seeker is more than just creating a profile and searching for jobs. The known truth is that LinkedIn is a platform that can lead you toward landing multiple job opportunities if you are on the platform with a specific strategy in place. It led you to going back to submitting multiple job applications on Indeed with no callbacks. You probably already tried navigating this platform and got completely overwhelmed. It’s the power of Linkedin! You have probably heard that statement a million times as a new social work graduate, listening to other professionals inform you that you need to get on LinkedIn to secure your next opportunity.īut let me guess. ![]() ![]() ![]() Contact Editorial To contact our editors, email tips AT or post to Kotaku Australia, Level 4, 71 Macquarie St, Sydney NSW 2000.Essentially, we take the mess of info coming out… Got a game you think we should be looking at?

It’s not enough to see where the enemy is going and move to counter it - if your mech doesn’t arrive in place and perform the right move at the right moment, the dance falls apart. It’s a sequence that needs to be arranged just so, which is where the ballet comparison comes in. You’ll need to use the game’s strategic interface to put your mech not just where it needs to be, but when. Kotaku has been following the game from the jump, calling it a “giant mechanical ballet.” That’s appropriate: the way the game’s interface has been constructed means that, despite getting a glimpse of the future, timing is everything. Phantom Brigade has been in early access for the last two years, using funding from sales to complete the game. ![]() There’s something incredibly satisfying about a game that lets you use your big mech to shoulder-check another and throw it out of position for its next move. Here’s a trailer to show you what I mean. It’s a little bit XCOM, a little bit Into the Breach, and a little bit Battletech. Players can see the enemy’s next moves, and assess their strategic options with real-time simulations, before approving the live fire action. Phantom Brigade is a blend of turn-based and real-time strategy that uses an innovative tactical timeline not dissimilar to Unreal Engine’s switch nodes and flow control UI.

Note that, other two structures didn’t have their atoms with the lowest possible formal charge. Thus structure 3 is the final lewis structure of nitrous oxide.Īs mentioned in the rules, we can see all the atoms in the final lewis structure have their lowest formal charge. So in structure 2, one of the lone pairs of the side nitrogen is turned into a bonding pair of the middle nitrogen.īut still, there is a lack of 2 electrons, for which another lone pair is converted into a bond pair. Here, the octet of the middle nitrogen is not fulfilled. We can see after drawing the sketch, remaining electrons are given around the atoms surrounding ( Structure 1). The following image attached can explain this more clearly, So one of the nitrogen is the middle atom.Īfter this, we need to draw the sketch of the molecule with only single bonds. In this case, nitrogen with the highest bonding sites is the central atom. Next, we need to decide on the central atom. Now let’s find out the lewis structure of N2O, You can calculate the same with the formula given below:. At last, make sure all the atoms are having their lowest possible formal charge.Give multiple bonds if required for fulfilling the octet of the atoms.Keep in mind to start with the electronegative atoms and proceed to the electropositive one. Fillup the octet of the atoms with the remaining electrons.Draw a skeletal structure with single bonds only.Choose a central atom generally the atom with the highest bonding sites.Do take care of +, – signs while calculating. Calculate the total number of valence electrons in the molecule.Have a look at the steps jotted down below:. There is a common way by which we can draw the lewis structure of any compound. How to draw a lewis structureĪ lewis structure helps us to find out about the structure of the compound, types, and the number of bonds, physical properties, and how the compound interacts with other compounds.ĭrawing a lewis structure is pretty simple! So let’s move on to these parts one by one in detail.īefore going into the lewis structure of nitrous oxide, it’s better to know the steps to draw a lewis structure. Now to understand every other reaction involving N2O, we need to know about its lewis structure, hybridization, and bonding. Moreover, nitrification and denitrification are two biological or natural processes that can produce nitrous oxide. Along with these, nitrous oxide is also a major component of the earth’s atmosphere. There are many more reactions that are used for the preparation of N2O. This process is known as the Ostwald process. Ostwald process:- Oxidation of ammonia with manganese dioxide and with bismuth oxide as catalyst gives us nitrous oxide. Heating the mixture of sodium nitrate and ammonium sulfate gives us N2OĢ NaNO3 + (NH4)2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2N2O + 4 H2OĪlso, nitrous oxide can be formed by reacting urea, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid,Ģ (NH2)2CO + 2 HNO3 + H2SO4 → 2 N2O + 2 CO2 + (NH4)2SO4 + 2H2O Laboratory methods:- Preparation of nitrous oxide can be done in the lab as well. Industrial methods:- On an industrial scale, heating of ammonium nitrate gives us nitrous oxide and water vapor. Nitrous oxide can be prepared in more than one way. ![]() ![]() MCO/MCP = is the "identification" of our breed which is prefixed in capital letters to each colour code. Of course we limit ourselves to the colours that are allowed in the Maine Coon - there are also others but they are not relevant to our breed. The EMS code is of course not a genetic code - but it is (and not the gene code) what you get to read in the pedigree of a cat in Pawpeds and many pedigrees of clubs as color. If you know how awkward the colour designations that CFA still uses are, then you know why some, though unfortunately still not all, associations use this system (which is constantly being expanded) besides FIFe and the pawpeds database. Quite a few years ago, around 1990, Dagny Dickens, a Swedish breeder and judge now responsible for the course programme at Pawpeds, developed the EMS (Easy Mind System) code forįIFé - which simplifies and helps with colour determination and memorisation. And I also dare to predict that someday someone will exhibit a cat in "fawn" or "lilac" to establish the other modifier-conditioned colours in the gene pool of the breed and to bring them to recognition, just as many breeders absolutely want to try something new because it is something "new", something "special", something sellable, i.e. However, I think we can wait confidently for a new, recognized modifcator-conditioned color in the Maine Coon, analogous to "amber" in the Norwegian Forest Cat and the "sunshine colors" in the Siberian cat. However, TICA is currently (2019) taking the view that, since it is a "genetic registry", it must recognise all colours that are possible and there is no possibility of exclusion, but there is still a general agreement that no other colours than the "canonical ones" are permitted in breeding. ![]() Also the monochrome - solid - variants are allowed in the Maine Coon.Ĭolorpoint, which is most closely associated with the Siamese cat, like the modifier-induced black varieties "amber", "chocolate", "cinnamon" with their dilutions "light amber", "lilac" and "fawn", do not belong to the Maine Coon and are therefore not allowed. All 4 tabby patterns are also allowed: classic/blotched, mackerel, spotted - which in our breed is probably only a dissolved mackerel, but not an independent gene as in the Bengals - and ticked. But only the classic colours of the Maine domestic cat, the basic colours (full colours) black and red, their dilutions blue and cream and the silver inhibitors are permitted as "colours of the breed" - and of course the complete (epistatic) white, masking any colour as well as the piebald white appearing in various forms. ![]() ![]() Maine Coons come in a wide variety of Colors and patterns. ![]() ![]() Where the Fish Are: A Science-Based Guide to Stalking Freshwater Fish.
