Backward digit span task5/29/2023 The results of the Study 1 show that tense arousal activated during expressive suppression of disgust fully mediates the negative effect of suppression on working memory as measured with a backwards digit-span task. Third, the results support our prediction that expressive suppression decreases cognitive performance through its effects on subjective tense arousal. Second, the results indicate that expressive suppression leads to a significant increase in subjective tense arousal. First, the results reveal that expressive suppression degrades memory of the events that emerged during the period of expressive suppression and leads to poorer performance on working memory tasks, as measured with a backwards digit-span task and anagram problem-solving task. The results of these experiments lead to three conclusions. disgust in Study 1 and a combination of sadness and anxiety in Study 2) under the instruction to suppress those negative emotions or (in the control condition) to simply watch the film. Both studies were conducted in a similar design: Participants watched a film clip which evoked negative emotions (i.e. In addition, in Study 2 we tested whether expressive suppression degrades memory of the events that emerged during the period of expressive suppression. In both studies we tested the effect of expressive suppression on working memory, as measured with a backwards digit-span task (Study 1, N = 43) and anagram problem-solving task (Study 2, N = 60). Two experiments were performed in order to test this prediction. ![]() Specifically, we examined whether the deteriorating effect of expressive suppression on cognitive functioning is caused by tense arousal enhanced by suppression. The aim of this paper was to contribute to a broader understanding of the cognitive consequences of expressive suppression.

Carbon copy cloner free mac5/29/2023 ![]() While the fix is not rolled out yet, CCC recommends erasing the destination only when you establish the initial backup, then use the built-in file copier to maintain your backup of user data, applications, and system settings. CCC is only waiting for the implementation from Apple. Because of this, CCC has to erase the whole destination volume, including the existing snapshots on that volume, whenever a macOS update is released, in order to update the system on the destination.įix: CCC has reached out to Apple to request that the ASR be allowed to clone the System volume only. Unfortunately, the ASR only copies entire volume groups, which includes System and Data, not just the System volume. To create a bootable macOS 11 System volume, CCC uses the ASR tool mentioned above. This means that when you clone the System volume, they are not bootable copies because they do not have Apple’s seal. And this seal is applied by Apple itself. With the release of macOS Big Sur, the system is now located on a cryptographically sealed “Signed System Volume”. Creating a bootable backup requires erasing the destination drive You can also employ the help of Migration Assistant to restore all of your data and files to a clean installation, without having the need to install macOS on your backup drive. Make your backup drive bootable by directly installing Big Sur onto the backup disk. If installing this update does not fix the problem for you, you can try the workaround suggested by CCC. However, CCC is still testing whether this patch has resolved all errors and if CCC is now able to create bootable backups. But with Big Sur, ASR no longer creates a bootable copy of the macOS System volume.įix: Apple has recently released the macOS 11.0.1 which resolves some of the issues with Apple Software Restore or ASR utility. The Signed System Volume has been implemented starting macOS 10.15.5, but CCC was able to work around this restriction by using Apple’s APFS replication software. ![]() Apple’s Signed System Volume, which is very proprietary in nature, is preventing ordinary system calls and copy software from cloning the macOS System volume. But with Big Sur, the Apple Software Restore does not have the capability to close the Big Sur startup disk because of a broken seal. This ensures that you never lose your data if an accident ever occurs. With CCC, users are able to create advanced backups of your hard drive while keeping it functional and bootable. Let’s discuss them one by one and the workarounds offered by CCC. There are three main issues that users have to be aware of when using CCC 5 on macOS Big Sur. Compatibility Issues with Carbon Copy Cloner on Big Sur Let’s look at some of the known issues and what you can do about them. CCC has reported these issues to Apple and they are still waiting for an official response. With the upcoming public release of macOS Big Sur, Bombich Software, the developers behind Carbon Copy Cloner warns of compatibility issues with macOS Big Sur. CCC 4 only works up to High Sierra (10.13). It also prevents potential issues and keeps macOS performing at its best.ĬCC 5 is the latest version of this software and it works with macOS version Yosemite (10.10) up to the latest Big Sur (11.0). Tip: Avoid copying unnecessary files to your backup drive and save some storage space by regularly cleaning your computer using a. About Outbyte, uninstall instructions, EULA, Privacy Policy. In case your hard disk fails or becomes inaccessible, you can boot from your bootable backup in no time. You can also use Carbon Copy Cloner to create bootable backups. This means that the app will only update the newly added or modified files. You have the option to choose what time you want the backup to be processed - hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and others.ĬCC is equipped with a smart update function, which prevents you from copying all the files every time the backup is initiated. It is capable of creating bootable backups and booting from your backup if a disaster strikes your hard disk. ![]() ![]() This tool is quite flexible because you can either back up the whole disk or just a part of it to your external hard drive. What Is Carbon Copy Cloner?Īside from being used to create file backups, Carbon Copy Cloner can also make complete images of your computer or clone your hard drives. Among the many backup tools available for Mac, Carbon Copy Cloner or CCC is one of the most reliable. Whenever you encounter an error, file corruption, or any problem that prevents you from accessing your files, you can always rely on your backup to avoid data loss. Creating a backup of your important files can be a lifesaver.

2001 a space odessey hal 9000 replica5/28/2023 I rarely message back, when I do it's usually just asking them to fuck to see what their response is. A good amount of them have messaged first. I started the account a few months ago or so. I made a tinder account using pictures of Finn Balor, a professional wrestler and a fit conventionally attractive good looking dude. Not really going for data analysis or anything, but just to see how much more matches a hot dude gets really. If you want to be a hot guy on Tinder, become a hot guy. Seeing girls be all nice and flirty with someone who is not you is a very bitter experience, and on the long term I am worried this is the kind of things that turns good people into incels. On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend using this kind of fake account, or at least not for too long. I matched with really attractive people, but not too much that I couldn't remember them, I regularly received messages but not too much that I felt annoyed by it, people were actually nice and friendly without feeling harassed, it was fine. Not as boring as my usual Tinder experience, but not as overwhelming as that week as a Hot Girl that literally killed my phone. Next test should be "Average girl", to complete the analysis This would mean that while "Being attractive" and "Being a girl" are both very important factors, the latter has a stronger effect than the former. I expected it to be somewhere in the middle between a normal looking guy and a hot girl, but actually it was way closer from the "Average Guy" experience. This was interesting, and very different from what I expected. too many swipes), I miscounted (very possible), or it is normal for all accounts to drop a bit after a couple days. Either Tinder somehow realized this account was a bot, I did something that lowered my ELO (e.g. I was surprised to see the swipe limit drop again after a couple days, especially considering I was getting a lot of matches and conversations. The swipe limit on the first day is very short, probably to push people to come back later. And it is definitely not as much as the super-like flood the Hot Girl has to deal with The amount of superlikes wasn't that different for the Hot Guy than the Average Guy, and would need to be extended on a longer time period to be more significant. ![]() 3/ I'm grossly overestimating how many replies I had on my real account. 2/ A girl who swiped right on an Average Guy is already more invested than a girl who swiped right on a Hot Guy, as she had to think about it beforehand. This can be due to three things: 1/ Again, low effort on first messages from the Hot Guy VS a lot of overthinking and reading bio and sass from the Average Guy. More surprisingly, girls were more likely to reply to an Average Guy than to a Hot Guy. The Hot Guy had surprisingly a lower chance of getting a reply than the Hot Girl had of receiving a first message, which was surprising but can probably be attributed to the lack of effort in those first messages. ![]() The Hot Guy is ~15x more likely to match than the Average Guy, but ~11x less likely than the Hot Girl If we compare to the data obtained the previous time, we got the following: Matches % I color-coded every message, to be able to sort different types of conversations I slipped a couple times when bored, or when I saw a too good opportunity to do a direct sexual advance, to see what happened. I mostly stuck to a formula of " you're ".Ĭonversations: Rule was to never pursue conversation after a reply, since my interest was only to see how many replies I would get with a low effort first message. I received one super-like.įirst messages: The rules were to make the lowest effort possible when sending the first message. Unlike my personal Tinder, I totally ignored the bio and swiped only based on pictures.įor super-likes: Like before, I carried a notebook with me, and kept track of the notifications as they popped-up. Mostly on attractive girls, never on prostitutes, never on girls with no picture or confusing picture. Who to swipe on: I swiped the same way I swipe with my personal Tinder. When to swipe: No rule, I did it when I got time. ![]() It started at 40/day, and increased from there (full results below). However I noticed pretty early that I wasn't allowed 100 swipes per day at the beginning. Number of swipes: My plan was to use the "100 swipes/day" limit as a standard to measure how many times I was swiping doing (reach the limits 10 times, done).

Pathfinder ostiarius kyton5/28/2023 From within their giant processing stations they mutilated souls with practiced precision, and were so famous for their work that the archdevils outsourced most of their soul-torture to them. As its police, kytons enforced the city's edicts while tracking and punishing criminals. The city known as Jangling Hiter laid within Minauros and was the primary dwelling place of the chain devils. Both types bitterly schemed to undermine each other and excruciarchs were noticeably hated within the main city of the kytons. The main rivals of the kytons were the excruciarchs, another type of torturer devil. Kytons and other devils specialized in pain formed teams of relentless torturers that eviscerated the souls of mortals until both their hope and magical energy was completely drained. Kytons were the wardens and tormentors of Baator, called upon to torture the souls of mortals damned to the Nine Hells. When met with blessed weapons, kytons immediately retreated. They only used the Gift of Chains if sorely pressed, or if they believed doing so would strike terror in their targets. When seriously fighting, they danced around the battlefield wildly swinging their weapons and nimbly dodging any attacks made against them. Combat Īfter chain devils had finished stalking their foes they attempted to capture them alive in order to continue torturing them later. Only weapons made of silver or those with stronger enchantments could harm them, but blessed weapons were capable of slowing their regenerative abilities. They could not be harmed by the cold nor weakly enchanted weapons. Kytons constantly regenerated from any injury, never bleeding and regenerating lost limbs when not simply reattaching them. ![]() Through this unnerving ability, chain devils temporarily caused their prey to run in terror or stand still in shock. Although all one could see was the lower half of their faces, it was often enough for the victim to recreate the intended visage. Kytons also had the ability to assume the faces of deceased individuals known by those that saw them, whether they be loved ones or hated foes. ![]() Animated chains could restrict and lash out at opponents on their own, but could still be broken and would revert to normal after sustaining enough damage or if the chain devil that created them was incapacitated. Ĭhains within the possession of others could be mentally restrained to prevent the kyton from taking control, and if more than one kyton tried to control the same chain, it would not move until one kyton established dominance. The chains also increased a kyton's mobility, letting them freely move and climb along the metal ropes. Up to four chains near the kyton would be animated, causing them to rattle, dance, extend by 15 feet (4.6 meters) or gain jagged spikes. While kytons normally could move only their own chains, a ritual known as the Gift of Chains, allowed them to manipulate chains not attached to their bodies. Abilities Ĭhain devils animated the chains on their body and swung them around to rend and restrain their targets. Whether through a foreboding direct chase, fleeting between the shadows or stalking their prey for hours, kytons hunted with whatever method induced the most terror in their targets with barely contained glee. Kytons savored the terror of their prey so greatly that they carefully deciphered the best way to inspire dread in their victims through an enigmatic methodology. Their love of torture made them easy to work with for any entity willing to let them indulge in their brutality. Sadistic and cruel, chain devils gained great pleasure from inflicting pain. It was often difficult to tell a kyton from a regular human draped in chains, although they were frequently mistaken for undead as they matched the traditional idea of a shackled spirit. Their normal weight combined with that of their chains made kytons weigh about 300 lbs (140 kg). ![]() ![]() The spiked shackles were covered in barbs and iron scraps that had been welded on, with each length ending in a hook, blade or weighty ball. The areas where a kyton's eyes, ears, nose and hair would be were also wrapped in chains, with the only visible areas being their throats, grinning mouths and the occasional glimpse of a single, glinting eye. The chains wrapped tightly around the kytons like a shroud, rattling as they moved and slithering around their bodies as if they were alive. Kytons were 6 ft (1.8 m) tall humanoids that wore chains as opposed to regular apparel.

Imagej colocalization analysis5/28/2023 Accordingly, analyzing the data can represent a major bottleneck in the research pipeline. Advances in multi-fluorescence imaging, including automated whole section microscopy and three-dimensional imaging, have generated increasingly more complex data sets. With the exception of axonal tracing, the same techniques are also used to study molecular diversity in many non-neuronal tissues. Tissue samples can be processed with combinations of these techniques and subsequently imaged, allowing researchers to directly relate the different labeled components. RNA expression can also be visualized by fluorescence in-situ hybridization 11. Multi-fluorescence imaging involves the differential fluorescent labeling of neurons using a variety of techniques, including retrograde axonal tracing, immunolabeling, transgene-driven expression of fluorescent reporter proteins, and fluorescently tagged endogenous proteins 8, 9, 10. Multi-fluorescence imaging is used extensively to study the correlation of molecular, structural and functional features in neurons 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. However, the full molecular diversity of neuron types is far from completely described, even in intensively studied model organisms. Much progress has been made in relating distinct patterns of gene and protein expression to neuronal structure and function. The central nervous system (CNS) is characterized by the exceptional molecular, morphological and physiological diversity of its constituent neurons 1, 2. Here we demonstrate their utility in immunohistochemical analyses of the developing central nervous system, which is characterized by complexity in the number and distribution of cell types, and by high cell packing densities, which can both create challenging situations for OBCA. The tools are well suited for experiments involving complex and large image data sets, and can be used in combination or as individual components, allowing flexible, efficient and accurate OBCA. The Excel macro and the MATLAB script enable data organization and 3D visualization of object data across image series. One ImageJ plugin enables customizable processing of multichannel 3D images for enhanced visualization of features relevant to OBCA, and another enables semi-automatic colocalization quantification. Here, we present a novel set of tools for OBCA using a semi-automatic approach, consisting of two ImageJ plugins, a Microsoft Excel macro, and a MATLAB script. Object-based colocalization analysis (OBCA) tools can employ automatic approaches, which are sensitive to errors in cell segmentation, or manual approaches, which can be impractical and tedious. This is particularly important when investigating the biology of tissues with diverse cell types. Differential fluorescence labeling and multi-fluorescence imaging followed by colocalization analysis is commonly used to investigate cellular heterogeneity in situ.

Valor christian academy5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The group has sent the school a list of demands that focuses on accountability and systemic change. Recently, students, alumni and former faculty have recounted stories alleging discrimination, punishment, bullying, harassment, and ostracism of students and teachers who are LGBTQ+, including a “disregard of the Valor community’s safety and mental health as a direct result of the school’s policies,” according to a letter sent last week to the school’s board and faculty by the nonprofit Valor For Change. Others, however, disputed the characterization of Valor Christian as welcoming, safe and affirming for all students. “I commend all our Blue Ribbon honorees for working to keep students healthy and safe while meeting their academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs.” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in recognizing 325 schools nationwide. “This year’s cohort of honorees demonstrates what is possible when committed educators and school leaders create vibrant, welcoming, and affirming school cultures where rich teaching and learning can flourish,” U.S. Schools are also recognized for creating safe, welcoming and affirming environments, according to a U.S. It completed its review process in June, according to a U.S. CAPE must make sure schools reach a certain threshold for test scores and other criteria.

Music of the deep wildermyth5/28/2023 ![]() It’s an RPG from a small studio, Worldwalker Games, that’s been toiling away in Early Access for a few years. I have dozens, scribbled in my notebook and recorded in screenshots, across just the handful of hours I’ve spent with it so far. Wildermyth is a veritable factory for these kinds of stories. As the others settled into relaxing pasttimes and wistful new ventures in the years of peace the Gorgon’s demise earned us, Baladvia knew there was more on the horizon. She had seen the coming danger, and had been subject to it herself. But in her heart, there was now a deep-seated thirst for revenge. She might die on my watch.īaladvia physically recovered, as the rest of the squad sprung into action to save her. She was new to the party, and not as endeared to me as Anwell, my half-wolf Hunter Junythien, or my elemental Mystic Ullis, but she was part of my company, The Swan Order. So when Baladvia was reeled in by the Gorgon, to be used as a mouthpiece for some vague threat of a coming doom for the human race before having half her face turned to stone, I panicked. She was the headstrong counterpart to my other Warrior, Anwell, and the two developed a chemistry as the hot-and-cold, sword-and-shield of my frontline through several battles. She was a new addition to the company: bright-eyed, ambitious, and eager to prove herself. Then, at the last second, it grabbed one of my Warriors, Baladvia. We faced off in a barn, in a town turned silent by the Gorgon’s stone gaze, and fell the beast alongside its many minions. In my first campaign, my band of merry adventurers had tracked down the source of a Gorgon infestation, led by a genuine, in the blue-flesh Gorgon. It might be easiest for me to explain the appeal of Wildermyth through an anecdote. The story feeds into the battles, and those battles feed back into the story, in ways that hooked me in and kept me playing until I declared aloud (on Twitter) “oh shit it’s 3 a.m.” Time has to be managed, and battles take place on a field familiar to anyone who’s spent some time with XCOM, only with fantasy weapons and monsters. They fail, fall in battle, and the years take their toll. You start out with an idealistic band of adventurers, hoping to make their mark on the world, and maybe save it in the process.Īnd then party members journey, bond, and build. Just as other games have used them to create their own narratives, Wildermyth uses procedural systems to tell its story, generating different paths from the hooks your characters have, either by choice or through randomization. It takes some clear inspiration from tabletop role-playing games, except-at least in single-player mode-you play the whole party. It’s got enough familiarity to its tactical combat and strategy meta-layer that it might be easier to fall back on the “X by way of Y” method of game description. It has a number of systems, all interlocking and affecting one another on various degrees. Wildermyth can be a tough game to describe. Losing sleep to weave the legacy of generations

Glow in the dark moonlight pendant5/28/2023 ![]() Only the red, yellow and green light is absorbed by the water, leaving blue light to reflect back to us. The entire visible spectrum of white light touches the sea water, but not all of it is absorbed. ![]() The absorption and scattering of light is what makes all the difference when we talk about the different colors of the sea. The ocean is so deep that the light from the sun is unable to reach the ocean floor, resulting in little or almost no reflection off the ocean bed. Let’s begin by appreciating the depth of ocean water. Why does the sea look blue-green in color, rather than red, pink or yellow?įinding this answer requires that we venture into the world of wavelengths. People might think you’re a bit odd if you told them that you saw a couple of sea ghosts at the beach last night, but it’s easier than remembering the name Noctiluca scintillans!Īlso Read: How Do Squid Use Bacteria As Camouflage? Contrary to the picture perfect image they create, some of their popular names include ‘sea ghost’ or ‘fire of the sea’. Dinoflagellates are found all over the world in coastal waters. Bioluminescence is used as a defense mechanism to startle predators. ![]() The dinoflagellate species Noctiluca scintillans, also known as sea sparkle, is one of the many dinoflagellate species that express bioluminescence when disturbed. While multicellular organisms are more popularly recognized for this ability, unicellular organisms (algae) called dinoflagellates are marine creatures that are commonly bioluminescent. Hawaiian bobtail squid (Photo Credit : Nick Hobgood/Wikimedia Commons) The Hawaiian bobtail squid is one such example. In many cases, some marine animals are known to engulf bacteria or other bioluminescent organisms and thus gain the ability to glow. The ability to glow is not limited to algae, but also displayed by other marine organisms like certain species of bacteria, jellyfish, worms, crustaceans and fish that also possess this unique feature. Which Marine Organisms Possess Bioluminescence? The process of producing light as the result of a chemical reaction occurring within a living organism is called bioluminescence. Bioluminescence is an important form of communication in the sea and is also widely studied to understand predator-prey interactions. What makes these particular beaches glow like fairy lights? The simple answer is bioluminescence.Ī common example of animals that possess this ability to glow are fireflies. (Photo Credit : Isabella Miller/ Shutterstock) However, this is not something that you see at every beach. You may take a closer to look to see what’s going on, and while you won’t be able to see the individual glowing sources, let me tell you that they’re nothing but friendly algae! ![]() You can appreciate nature for all its beauty, but just as you are about to walk in deeper, you realize that the water below you is glowing like stars, as if the night sky had fallen down! The waves touch your feet as you walk along the coast, completely carefree and happy. Imagine taking a romantic walk on the beach, the soft calming sound of the waves and the sea breeze playing with your hair. This is a type of chemical reaction that occurs in some living bodies and produces ‘cold light’, as less than 20% of the light produces heat.
