Smith, HarperBusiness press 1994, page 149.)Įxample □ Long, run-on sentence: We all agreed that we ought to eat at the new Greek restaurant in town, then see a movie, and, before going home, we should stop at the grocery store to buy milk for breakfast, because we ran out of milk earlier in the day and cold cereal doesn't taste good without milk, especially not with orange juice, which gives cereal a tart, citrus flavor which is fine for drinking from a glass, but not so fine for eating with flakes of cereal. Indeed, working through the obstacles made the team stronger. Any of these obstacles could have derailed the team's progress and performance. It also faced bad weather, intense competition, and a poor economy when it had to prove its strategy with the two new hubs. The Burlington Northern Intermodal Team, for example, encountered weak support from management, policies against advertising, distrust of truckers, and mediocre talent in the intermodal department. Obstacles also differ as much as the teams, performance challenges, organizational settings, and business contexts that produce them. They occur from the moment a potential team gathers until the team comes to an end. Obstacles are a continual fact of life for teams. The other sentences support this main idea. The first sentence clearly states the main idea of the paragraph. The following paragraph presents an idea about teams. ![]() Baldness allows for some under-appreciated conveniences in life, in terms of haircuts, styling, and windy days.Review and Conclusion (Tell them what you told them).Even on windy days, bald people never get hair in their eyes or mouth, at least not their own hair, which makes windy days more bearable for most people who don't particularly like the taste of hair.They only must dry their head with a towel after showering and are then free to move on to other more relevant activities, like reading the comics, practicing yoga, or climbing trees. Bald people don't have to style their hair.They can cut their own hair (what remains of it) with a razor or clippers. ![]() Bald people don't have to worry about the cost of haircuts.Not everyone appreciates baldness as they should.Introduction (Tell them what you're going to tell them).In a simplified format, here is a structural analysis of ideas for a paper about baldness: The guidelines presented below will improve readability for many, but not for all. Reading disorders, memory disorders, attention deficit disorders, and other conditions which affect the brain's cognitive processes can compromise a person's ability to understand text. Not everyone reads or understands text content at the same level, even when presented clearly and simply. This article offers general guidelines for writing clear and simple English, primarily from an American English perspective. Many cultures value verbal efficiency and directness others may feel that this style is too blunt or even insulting. To complicate matters, the "rules" vary across languages, and even across cultures that share a language. Anthony Hope Hawkins Language and cultural differences matter. Ernest Hemingway “Unless one is a genius, it is best to aim at being intelligible.” “My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.” Unclear or confusing writing is an accessibility barrier to all readers but can be especially difficult for people with reading disorders or cognitive disabilities. Clear and simple writing is essential to the understandability of web content. Writing clearly and simply can be one of the most difficult of all writing tasks.

4/30/2023 0 Comments Avast cleanup free![]() ![]() That's based on Avast One Essentials and without using any of Avast's speedup tools, either. Previously Avast slowed us down a little more than average, but this time we found no measurable difference at all. We tested Avast One's impact on system performance by running top benchmark (opens in new tab) PCMark Professional before and after installation. ![]() The end result was a speedy and hassle-free installation on our normal review system. The installer doesn't try to set Avast Secure Browser as your system default, for instance (in fact, Avast One doesn't include Secure Browser at all.)Īvast One Essential doesn't require registration, either, so there's no need to create accounts or hand over any personal information. This certainly keeps life simple, though, and the setup process has improved in other ways. Previously you could clear a checkbox if you didn't need the firewall, say, or the cleanup tools, and they wouldn't be installed. This makes it easier to take action and see what the scan finds without having to reboot again.Īvast One (opens in new tab) is the new name for Avast's revamped and redesigned consumer security range, and combines antivirus (opens in new tab), VPN (opens in new tab), privacy and security tools to keep you safe online.Īvast One Essential is one of the best free antivirus apps, but stuffed with features: antivirus, ransomware protection (opens in new tab), anti-phishing and a simple firewall (opens in new tab), with apps for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.Īvast One's installer isn't as customizable as the last edition.
4/30/2023 0 Comments Tormentum dark sorrow badges![]() While no excuses are being made, the game was clearly made on a very low budget, as seen by their IndieGoGo campaign. It has a distinctly used feel, with the other portions of its audio doing its best to providing a unsettling and timeworn experience, although some of the actual audio sounds distinctly low-budget, such as walking up and down stairs or noises that are made when some items are picked up. It's soundtrack is also one of those things, with each piece of music for each separate area perfectly suited for whatever the player faces, whether it be sad, dreary, angry, or just there. ![]() Most of the time they are outlined in a soft white glow, but this is not always the case.Īs you search for usable things to aid your escape, it is quickly realized that there are few actual options for this game, as shown in the two pictures below.Īs you begin the journey, the game's overall direction can be somewhat confusing, but this quickly fades away as each unique room quickly becomes burned into your mind. ![]() Sometimes usable items are hard to pick out, and as a result you may find yourself traipsing from room to room, looking for items that should have already been found. These characters are never constant, but they help to weave together a fiction that is never completely laid out, making you want more of this universe in the end. Thankfully, Tormentum boasts no characters that have distinct black and white code of morality, but rather characters that are all composed of varying shades of grey. The player never does speak during the game, but there are NPC’s (Non Player Characters) that do, and what is said by these characters are believable, showing a visible layer of distrust while sometimes offering players (mostly depending on the actions of said player) of different subtleties that lie underneath. This is brought forth in its writing as well, and if the player so desires, a number of disturbing and intriguing backstories are brought to life through scattered notes and intimate conversations that can be found throughout the game, while having a silent protagonist as the 'hero'. While they are as previously described, it cannot be denied that the settings and backgrounds are stunning, almost as if they are paintings brought to life through sheer malevolence and despair. There is a free demo included here that allows players to glimpse the beginning of the story for this title and the graphics, which are indeed gorgeous.įrom the screenshots that are littered throughout this review, there is one thing that should be quickly obvious: the aesthetic of OhNoo’s title are like the rest of the game – bleak and depressing. Overall, Tormentum has a simple story, and to go into it in any more detail would risk spoiling the narrative experience. ![]() 4/30/2023 0 Comments Vowel sounds![]() ![]() I’ll write a special lesson about French accents & Pronunciation. Sometimes in French, you’ll have an accent to change the pronunciation of that letter. In French like in English, some vowels will combine in writing to make a sound, like in A and Y in “May” / the A and I in “mai”. Letters Combine to Make Sounds Combination of vowels But sometimes, a vowel will combine with another vowel or another letter to make a different sound. ![]() The French vowels are named after their most “plain” sound. In French like in English, letter have a pronunciation of their own.įor example, the letter B in French is pronounced. So you need to think about your breathing when you speak French. The shape of your lips and the amount of air you let out is the key element to pronouncing your French vowels. They don’t drag nor modulate: your mouth is in one position when the vowel comes out, you don’t change the position of your lips or anything as the French vowel comes out.Įxample: the French “o” as in “ coco” never does the fluctuation of “toe” or even “cow” where your mouth opens and clothes on the o sound. On the contrary, it’s the A sound that stands out.Ĭontrast the French & English pronunciations : Papa (FR), Papa (English). The P doesn’t stand out like in the English word Papa. ![]() French Vowels Tend To Be Stronger Than English Vowels In other words, your lips form the consonant shape, but the air that comes out of your mouth is the vowel sound.Įxample: Papa. I like to say that consonants often “jump start” the vowels. Julie a dit : “au dodo !” – Julia said: “go to bed”! Consonants Jump Start The Vowels Tu as eu la vie que tu voulais – you had the life you wanted Natasha et Henri étudient – Natasha and Henri are studying French words often end on a vowel sound, even verbs. So strong that they really stand out in French. ![]() How To Pronounce The French Vowels? French Words Often End On A Vowel Soundįrench vowels are strong. Practice again with more words that have "r" in them.There are 6 vowels in French : A, E, I, O, U and Y (i grec). Explain to the students that the "r" sound distorts the vowel sound and can make learning how to spell the word confusing. Watch how they spell the words and then write the correct spelling on the board. To teach this, read some of the previous sample words to the students. The words bird, hair, fern, torn and burn are all r-controlled vowel words. R-controlled vowels are vowels that are next to the letter "r" in a word and you cannot hear the vowel sound in the word because of that. Write examples of these words on the whiteboard, then practice reciting and spelling the words together. Explain that vowel pairs like "oo" or "oi" make a different sound then other long vowels, so they are special. To teach this, introduce the vowel patterns in one of the words previously mentioned. In each word, the vowels do not follow the rules of short or long vowel words. Words with special vowel sounds are boy, coin, cow, book and moon. Instead, the vowels make another type of vowel sound when paired together. Special vowel sounds are words where the vowel sounds do not follow the typical patterns of long and short vowels. For extra practice, have the students make long vowel words in groups. Tell the students to point out the long vowel words and circle them. In order for a vowel to be long, it must be paired with another vowel in a word or the word must end in "e." To make sure students understand this, write some long and short vowel words on the whiteboard or in chalk outside. For example, rain, like, paint and lake are all long vowel words. A "hard" vowel sound is when a vowel says its name in a word. Long vowel sounds are "hard" sounds vowels make. ![]() 4/30/2023 0 Comments Video to gif free![]() ![]() ![]() Each frame in the animation is restricted to a palette of just 256 colors, and over the years, advances in compression technology has made leading to several improvements the way animations and video files are compressed and used. Netscape Navigator 2.0 was the first browser to added the ability for animated GIFs to loop, which lead to the rise of animated GIFs as we know them today.Īs an animation platform, the GIF format is incredibly limited. By default, the series of frames that constitute the animation was displayed only once, stopping after the last frame was shown. Later, basic animation capabilities were added which allowed the various images (frames) in the file to be painted with time delays. The original design of the GIF format was to provide a way to compress multiple images inside a single file using a lossless compression algorithm (called LZW compression) which meant they could be downloaded in a reasonably short space of time, even on slow connections. But the GIF format was not originally intended for animation. Rachel Andrew, on behalf of the Editorial TeamĪnimated GIFs have a lot going for them they’re easy to make and work well enough in literally all browsers. I’m sorry that we failed to do the right thing this time. Recognizing and crediting the work of people in our community is something I - and the whole team - care very much about. I’d like to personally apologize to Jeremy for not identifying this as a copy of his work. The original piece can be found here, and we would recommend it to you. It has been brought to our attention that this piece is a reworded version of an article published on the Google Web Fundamentals site, written by our friend Jeremy Wagner. With HTML5 video, you can reduce the size of GIF content by up to 98% while still retaining the unique qualities of the GIF format in the browser. However GIFs are a terrible format for storing video and are often huge in size leading to slow page load times and high data usage. ![]() They provide more engagement than an ordinary image, while remaining more digestible compared to a typical video. Animated GIFs are popular on the web for good reason. ![]() 4/30/2023 0 Comments House of night book series![]() ![]() ![]() The past few years have been a whirlwind for those who love anything supernatural – we’ve had werewolves, vampires, witches and more come to the fore in popular culture, and it’s been a thrill a minute!

If swelling occurs, apply ice or a cold, damp cloth.If possible, take a photo or capture the spider in a container. However, the following tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can help a person deal with a spider bite that may be poisonous: There is no specific treatment for a hobo spider bite. Share on Pinterest A person can speak to their doctor if they are concerned about a spider bite. They do not live inside buildings.Ī hobo spider is unlikely to bite except when catching prey or in self-defense, for example, if it becomes trapped against a person’s skin. At this time, male hobos may enter ground structures of buildings as they roam around and look for a mate. Mating season lasts from June to October. They are not good climbers, so they usually stay near ground level. Hobo spiders build funnel webs with an escape tunnel at the back that often goes into a crack or other protected area.

The "E" can also be written as "e" which is what is used by this calculator. Below is a comparison of scientific notation and E-notation: Scientific notation Where b is the base, E indicates "x 10" and the n is written after the E. For example:ġ23.4 × 10 6 (engineering notation) E-notationĮ-notation is almost the same as scientific notation except that the "× 10" in scientific notation is replaced with just "E." It is used in cases where the exponent cannot be conveniently displayed. Note that the decimal place of the number can be moved to convert scientific notation into engineering notation. For example, 10 3 would have the kilo prefix, 10 6 would have the mega prefix, and 10 9 would have the giga prefix. ![]() This is so that the numbers align with SI prefixes and can be read as such. If, for example, the solution had instead been 0.179×10 -2, by convention, we would shift the decimal to the left such that the first digit left of the decimal point wouldn't be 1, then change the exponent accordingly:Ġ.179×10 -2 = 1.79×10 -3 Engineering notationĮngineering notation is similar to scientific notation except that the exponent, n, is restricted to multiples of 3 such as: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, -3, -6, etc. is faster than applying a scientific calculator and the solution obtained is. By convention, the quotient is written such that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal. Divide the digits normally and subtract the exponents of the powers of 10. To divide numbers in scientific notation, separate the powers of 10 and digits. The digits are multiplied normally, and the exponents of the powers of 10 are added to determine the new power of 10 applied to the product of the digits. To multiply numbers in scientific notation, separate the powers of 10 and digits. Once the numbers are all written to the same power of 10, add each respective digit. To add and subtract in scientific notation, ensure that each number is converted to a number with the same power of 10. Scientific notation can simplify the process of computing basic arithmetic operations by hand. In scientific notation, numbers are written as a base, b, referred to as the significand, multiplied by 10 raised to an integer exponent, n, which is referred to as the order of magnitude:īelow are some examples of numbers written in decimal notation compared to scientific notation: Decimal notation It is commonly used in mathematics, engineering, and science, as it can help simplify arithmetic operations. Scientific notation is a way to express numbers in a form that makes numbers that are too small or too large more convenient to write and perform calculations with.
