![]() ![]() I find it beneficial to make sentences disappear as we read them, so that the student, being unable to rely on displayed previous content, is forced to work from memory. ![]() Am I missing something? I had been thinking of tinkering with a listener in the API, but is it necessary to go at such length ? However, if I try to add the class highlight-blue to the span element, it “breaks” : the entire sentence appears, and on the next step tree is highlighted in blue. → SOLVED : I needed to edit the HTML file generated by Pandoc, of course, what a fool !Īllows me to have my student guess the word “sky” before presenting him with the solution. How do I install a plugin such as Reveal menu, which needs to be added to the dependencies of the presentation with a script block ? Adding such script block in the note.md file itself results in it being misplaced.Would anyone be so kind as to enlighten me? Although I must admit it’s now slightly more about reveal.js than Obsidian… (the first and third points do not need to be addressed, the only real questions are n☂ and n☄) However this open door has led me to new problems. Thank you so much for your answer, the syntax of reveal.js fragments is much more advanced than anything else I had seen! It worked wonders and I was able to give my latin class the way I intended : it proved a blast for both the student and myself! As mentioned, I’d like to use that functionality outside of lists. Just to make sure I am making my self understood : when referring to “steps”, I mean this or what’s described as " incremental lists" in the Pandoc documentation. Would it be possible to script my way to the solution ? Make a list where each element consists in a line of code that will fill in the blank in the originally displayed structure ? I have some very limited competence in Javascript, if that matters. Or a declension chart which you could fill progressively, while having set in the first step of the slide all the rows and columns.Īny idea how I could make that happen while retaining my ability to edit notes in Obsidian ? I am open to paid solutions as well.Imagine for instance showing a full sentence with blank, asking your student to fill it, and then showing him the solution not by showing the whole sentence again, but by making the missing part appear inside it.Different parts of my slide, even if not a list, would show up successively. But I’m willing to explore other solutions in order to achieve the following : something akin to cloze deletion in Anki.Given that the native “Slides” plugin does not, I have for the moment switched to Deckset (because of its simplicity). Quite a few external tools, such as Pandoc, Fusuma, or Deckset allow you to build (the terminology varies) lists that will show up element after element when presenting your note.Contact, Privacy, RSS feed.I have been using Obsidian with much gusto over the last few days, it’s truly a fascinating, fluid and delightful tool (or should I say set of tools). Made with □ in 2022 by Florian Herlings. Instead, I would love for you to get in touch with me to let me know if you liked it or if you have any suggestions or questions. This website does not use any tracking or feedback mechanism. I will definitely make good use of this in the future! Now there is a new tool, which is super similar to Deckset, called Marp! It surely misses some of Decksets features, but it is available on more platforms, and comes with it’s own vs code plugin. I even use it to create presentation slides for my lectures, using the awesome Deckset.

Stan Lightfoot grew up in Michigan and Wisconsin. This blog post explains our spam policy.ħ. StockTwits Etiquette: Here is a great video from Howard in which he explains a bit about how people behave on our site.Ħ. The Pop Out: In this video, Soren provides a nice description of how you can use our pop out feature to organize your desktop with various StockTwits streams.ĥ. This is far from an exhaustive list of great talent but provides a way fro you to get started building a group that you like to follow.Ĥ. The Recommended Stream allows you to follow the StockTwits members that we recommend. The Friends Stream allows you to follow only those whom you have chosen to follow. The Portfolio Stream allows you to choose which stocks you would like to follow. Often, Commentary tweets relate to macro views, economic takes and opinions etc. One former law clerk has been appointed to help prepare 29. The Commentary Stream gives you only Stocktweets that are not associated with a specific ticker. With his docket exploding, Judge Alan Albright says the only way to get cases to trial in two years is with help from technical advisers. You will get a ton of information from this and see tweets on everything from daytrading to currencies to global macro etc. The All Stream gives you an automatically refreshing feed of all tweets that get posted to StockTwits. You can find and choose these streams on the drop down menu right below the tweet entry box on. The StockTwits Streams: There are 5 different streams on StockTwits that you may choose from which give you different filters so that you can customize which StockTweets you want to see. Here is Howard explaining how to post in a video.ģ. Second, if you are not mentioning a specific ticker but talking about the market in general or producing some market commentary then you simply put two dollar signs at the very end of your tweet like this. How To Post to StockTwits: There are two ways to get your tweets picked up by the StockTwits Stream and both involve the $ as a tagging system.įirst, if you are tweeting about a specific stock, you simply add the $ to the begining of the ticker like this $AMZN Make sure you are following StockTwits on Twitter.

A seal is a stable sigil, in a sense - anyone who draws it, makes it, will benefit from its effects in some fashion: some of them more subtle than others some of them practically undetectable. You can have seals without writing in other cultures, I suspect - even in cultures that are non-literate - but it’s simultaneously the act of making the seal, and knowing its purpose, that are important. This is why so many seals include Biblical quotations, at least in the West/Latin-empire derived cultures). Some of it has to do with the intentionality of the text which explains and frames the seal. Fifth Pentacle of Mercury – an example of a seal, or stablized/general-purpose sigil?Ī seal, though, seems to be a stable sigil, that means the same thing to whoever copies it. If I want the same intention as you, that’s fine… but I still have to go through the same design process of removing the vowels and the doubled letters and then I have to find the set of squiggles and arcs and curves that mean that to my unconscious. But the sigil’s effects aren’t going to work out on me - it’s not my squiggle, apparently, but yours. My efforts might make the likelihood of your sigil working, more likely. I’m copying your work, but I’m not copying your Work, if a capital letter can express the difference - I haven’t invested sufficient intentionality with the pen on (tracing) paper to take your intentionality and transfer it to my own sigil. But if I draw the same sigil as you do, that sigil isn’t going to do for me what it does for you. I think these are kind of like sigils, in that they’re an expression of magical power. Gordon has a multi-part course behind his paywall for premium members, and it’s excellent, I recommend it.īut then there’s things like the Pentacles of Solomon. Leave them up until they no longer seem active. Use a robofish to create a decisive movement. Make a shoal of several such sigils together. Rewrite them in some fashion, like gold ink on a black surface so they look definitively wyrd in candlelight, or so that they resemble Chinese characters (without actually being Chinese characters) in black ink, maybe stamped several times in red with a sufficiently-impressive looking seal. ![]() Take the remaining letters and wobble-wobble them together sin several different ways until they don’t mean anything, exactly, but still look significant. Take a phrase that represents something that you want that’s magical… remove all the vowels from that statement. ![]() See, Gordon’s variations on Sigil Magic work. I wrote it as a comment on her blog, but I want to expand on it here. something that’s been percolating in the back of my mind for some time: the differences between Sigils, Seals and Emblems. Keri mentioned that she was contemplating the difference between sigils and seals in magical practice, and I instantly ‘got a hit’ on something…. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nominal 1.5-inch-diameter stone weighs approximately 27 times more than 0.5-inch-diameter stone. The mass of an individual stone increases by a factor of eight when the diameter is doubled. Since round stone is roughly spherical in shape, the mass of it is proportional to the diameter cubed. RP-4 requirements were again validated during the RICOWI inspections following the 2004 Florida hurricanes and Hurricane Katrina. The tables in RP-4 have a large safety factor, and there have been additional safeguards added to prevent systems being installed using small aggregate in hurricane-prone areas. 4 stone, and those of about 2.5 inches in diameter or No. The standard considers two common-sized stones, those of about 1.5 inches in diameter or No. The key reason for developing RP-4 was to eliminate improper use of stone ballast. The wind performance of this material was extensively studied in wind tunnels and by field inspections during the 1970s and 1980s, resulting in the development of ANSI/SPRI/RP-4. ![]() The stone used for (single-ply) ballast has been sized using ASTM D448. Built-up roofs are designed to be fully adhered to the underlying roof matrix, either the roof deck or insulation that is above the roof deck. It can perform well in high winds if it is adequately embedded into the asphalt matrix, or is on a roof with a high parapet. This is relatively small in size usually less than 0.5-inch in diameter. The aggregate used for BURs has been well defined in ASTM D1863 and incorporated into the code. Since the late 1970s, the roofing industry has separated the aggregate used in BUR from the stone or other ballast used in single-ply. The most authoritative documentation is contained in ANSI/SPRI RP-4, available free from SPRI.įor clarification, David Roodvoets, former technical director at SPRI, explains the difference between common roofing gravel and ballast stone:įor the last few cycles of the IBC code-change process, the roofing industry has been trying to educate the structural committee on the differences between aggregate as used in asphalt built-up roofing (BUR) and stone and other materials used to ballast single-ply. First, ballasted roofs have been used for decades and blow-offs are not a problem – the same can be said about wind scour. The answers are documented and available. Why would you use all that heavy rock in the first place?.How do we test these systems at Factory Mutual (FM) or Underwriters Laboratories (UL) since they use pressure tests that reach 75 or more psf, while the ballast application is in the 10 to 20 psf range?.What keeps the rocks from being wind-scoured, blowing off the roof and causing impact damage below?.What keeps the roof on? Theoretical uplift forces can reach in excess of 45 pounds per square foot (psf), so how can 10 pounds of gravel keep the membrane from billowing and ultimately tearing itself apart?.market, there were a number of obvious questions raised: When the concept was first introduced to the U.S. As a contrast to conventional roof membranes, both the thermal insulation and membrane may be un-adhered to the substrate. Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 15 January 2002.The concept of installing a roof membrane without anchorage has been around for decades. The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative.

My documents folder is not something I will post here, because it contains subfolders for every project or topic I am currently working with or on, or items that have a personal value. I don't see My music, My videos, My pictures, Downloads and for that matter anything in the Adobe folder, as 'Documents'. My own documents folder doesn't contain anything (anymore) that I don't also want to sync to the cloud. A decade ago, this looked almost inevitably like the one you posted, but nowadays all the junk folders have been moved elsewhere. With 'default' documents folder I mean the C:\Users\Keith\Documents folder, the default location for a user to store his documents. Since it seems to backup from local files to the cloud? Iwant to keep everything in the cloud and off my pac except what I am working on, but photoshop will not allow me to do that. So anyway, my question is: if I stop the backup, I am not really sure what that will do. For now I have kind of given up and accepted it because I don't want to wear out my hard drive freeing up space, only to have it reappear 10 times a day. ![]() It's all or nothing have to be stored on the pc at all times. You can never just work with one photo, or folder of photos. ![]() Then, it downloads everything in in the My Photos file onto my pc. It works perfectly well until, the software insists on depositing that aforementioned folder into onedrive (always after their upgrades). Ordinarily, I oculd have a sub-folder with 100 photos in it, click on one photo, and ONLY that one will be made available locally (as is indicated by a green check mark in onedrive). This is accomplished by selecting "Free Up Space). I try to keep all my photos in the cloud (unsynced locally. I mean, I am not happy with it, because I have to then delete it from light room (after I have exported copies with the metadata embedded). This is working okay (because when I am done working on the photos I move them off the hard drive. My workaround was to move photos I am working on to a local folder that does not get backed up to the cloud. This might be an interesting solutin but I am not sure I completely understand. The final step was to swap out the official windows library 'Documents' folder with the one that I actually use under QuickAccess in the navigation pane.įrom what I can tell you're not losing anything by having, using and syncing a seperate documents folder from the official windows library folder, other than when Applications use the Documents folder to save preferences. The official windows 'Library' version of the Documents folder then reverted back to its old, now blank, location C:Users/Me/Documents but all my actual Document files stayed within the E:OneDrive/Documents folder.įrom there, when I loaded Premiere, it created a new Preferences folder inside C:Users/Me/Documents, which was no longer being managed by OneDrive, meanwhile, my folder E/OneDrive/Documents still contains the rest of my documents files, and is still being synced with OneDrive. To get around this, I went to OneDrive settings, then to 'Back Up' then hit 'Stop backup' on Documents. I'd moved my 'Documents' Library to be inside OneDrive E:/OneDrive/Documents and everytime I'd use Premiere, I'd get issues with OneDrive syncing duplicates of preferences etc, and that in turn causing lag in Premiere. You can't change the preference file locations:įor the people specifically having an issue with the Adobe folder in 'Documents' causing issues with OneDrive where your 'Documents' folder is synced as part of a OneDrive Backup, I found a *sort of* work around for this. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Merit, in most cases, is determined by education and can prove to be unaffordable in some countries.It prioritizes performance and uses it as a scale for promotions, bonuses and other rewards.It endorses efficiency and effectiveness of governmental organizations.It promotes equal grounds for people from different races and castes.Meritocracy ensures smooth running of the system.Advantagesįollowing are some of the advantages of meritocracy: Since then it has been used by many governments and organizations. The concept of meritocracy spread from China to British India and then to Europe during the 17 th century. While philosophers like Voltaire, Aristotle and Plato have also advocated meritocracy. Chinese philosopher Confucius is believed to be the first person who described the concept. Meritocracy has been advocated by many philosophers over the time, but the earliest practical example of meritocracy was found in Ancient China. The merit is usually decided by an examination. Meritocracy ensures that individuals employed in the system are merited for the position and that these employments are not used as political favors. Therefore, meritocracy is the term given to a system by individuals characterized by their ability, skill and education (or, in short, merit) to hold the power positions. The word ‘merit’ has Latin origin meaning ‘to earn’ whereas ‘cracy’ stems from Greek word ‘kratos’ meaning strength or power. The word ‘meritocracy’ finds its origin in both Latin and Ancient Greek. ![]() ![]() GrandVJ comes preloaded with a set of great Quartz Compositionsfrom selected Artists, you can easily find tons of other. ![]() On top of all this, Mac OS X users can mix Quartz Compositions(.qtz files) as Sources with all their other visuals, but also asEffects, with GrandVJ automatically mapping the composition inputsas effects parameters.

No, it's not the cheapest tripod in this round-up by far, but buy Gitzo's Series 1 model and you'll likely never need to buy a tripod again. ![]() We've picked out the 8 best options to suit a range of budgets and needs. The type of tripod you pick will depend on your specific needs, from a simple table-top option you can sling in your bag to large, heavy-duty supports. This can be unscrewed from the spider and attached to the removable center column, to serve as a monopod. To add yet more versatility, an increasing number of tripods feature a removable leg. The center column can often be removed and inverted for ultra-low level shooting, while some tripods come with a low-angle adapter that replaces the center column. Low-level shooting might also be required, so most modern tripods feature legs that can be locked at multiple angles. This typically cuts about 20cm off the folded height. Another crafty trick adopted by some modern tripods is that the legs swing completely upwards for stowage, with the feet encircling the head. To help them stand tall, but fold down small, some tripods have four or five telescopic sections in each leg, rather than the more traditional three. Three-way heads are relatively cumbersome, but enable more precise, individual adjustments in each of the three planes of movement independently. Many recent designs are very sophisticated, with an adjustable friction damper to suit a wide range of camera and lens weights, along with an independent pan-only release. Ball heads are quicker and far easier to set up, and are more streamlined for stowing away while hiking. Up on top, the main choice for stills photography is between a ball head and a three-way head. ![]() ![]() Indeed, make-for-make and size-for-size, carbon tripods can be as much as twice the price of aluminum models. The only drawbacks are that if your tripod takes a hefty knock, carbon fibre is prone to shattering, and it’s relatively expensive to manufacture., so if it shatters or cracks, I'm afraid it's kaput. Carbon fibre also tends to be slightly better at absorbing unwanted vibrations and isn’t so cold to the touch when the temperature drops. ![]() |
