The day before genres1/26/2024 For example, if you like rock music, you might prefer classic rock or hard rock instead of alternative rock. Musical genres can be both broad and narrow, just like literary genres. What type of music do you like? Pop? Rock? Country? Classical? Reggae? There are similar genres within music, too. A very specific literary genre within these narrower genres might be, for example, short stories for teens about the zombie apocalypse! For example, some common narrower literary genres include comedy, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction and biographies. Of course, within those broad genres, there are many other narrower genres. ![]() The broadest literary genres are fiction and nonfiction. Some become unpopular and go away while new ones spring up as trends emerge. A genre is a category of literature or other form of art or entertainment (such as paintings or music) based on certain defining criteria. These are all different examples of genres. Still others might prefer to read a biography of a famous scientist or inventor. Perhaps thrilling zombie stories are more your speed. If you think about it, you're probably reading all day long!īut what do you really like to read when you have the time to sit down and relax with a good book? Maybe you like real-life stories about sports heroes. ![]() You read the television guide to find when your favorite show is on. You read the menu at your favorite restaurant. You read the signs you see along the road. ![]() But there are many other times throughout the day that you need to read. You may also have a favorite book that you like to read on the bus or before you go to bed. Just think of all the reading you do in a typical day. Do you love to read? We hope so! It's so important to be able to read well.

Jumped from log flume ride1/26/2024 One of the quirks of log flume design is that it's remained relatively static for 50 years now. And it's also an attraction that Walter Knott rode on opening day, giving it particular importance to the devoted fans of this park. Despite its age, this water ride remains one of the most popular and trafficked rides at Knott's Berry Farm. Built in 1969 and then refurbished in 2013, it's a classic log flume attraction that is more modern thanks to its (relatively) recent makeover. ![]() Timber Mountain Log Ride embodies all of these elements, which is understandable given its age and status. It's especially true since each of these rides must either start at or add enough height to build to a satisfying splash at some point, ordinarily the end, of the journey. There's only so much that a theme park designer can do to differentiate a boat in water from other rides that have boats in the water. Otherwise, the entrants here are largely similar for the most part. This rules out a few surprising entries such as Journey to Atlantis and Grizzly River Run. The other is that Wikipedia’s ginormous list of log flumes must include the entry. One is that I’m only considering theme parks, not water parks. I only need two rules in place before I start today’s list. Timber Mountain Log Ride – Knott’s Berry Farm Which ones are the best, though? Here are my choices for the best nine log flume rides in the world. It’s a cheap ride to construct and maintain, and so everybody has one. The log flume is a staple at every self-respecting theme park on the planet. The rejuvenating aspect of such rides explains why they are ubiquitous at theme parks. ![]() A refreshing splash of water can change your temperature and your mood. You’re exercising a lot, and your body naturally warms due to the activity combined with the sunlight. You’ll bask in the warming glow of the sun as you cherish time spent with friends and family. A theme park visit is a timeless way to spend a spring or summer day.

Biomutant review embargo1/26/2024 ![]() Sometimes people want to play the game asap and mat have slow internet connections.įinances. ![]() Again you may think this is a shitty practice, and I agree that the bonuses are often not worth taking the chance, but it's still a reason. And yes it made way more sense when you were securing a physical copy of which there would be limited availability.īut there are definitely still reasons to preorder, whether you personally agree with them or not. I get why people are so against preordering now. They can't always have a spirit of positivity, thinking "let's release the best thing ever, who cares about money" because reality hits then. Video game companies are companies too, they have employees, shareholders, subsidiaries and families to feed. The only issue is that a news embargo does not necessarily help a company because it needs consumers (players in this case) and hyping to make more sales is a strategy to increase the numbers or the odds at the very least. OJ Simpson when many other games did the same thing in the past decade : No Man's Sky, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Silent Hills (almost did but cancelled), Zelda, Detroit, Civilization.Ī news embargo until release is in my opinion very important if you want to side with the players and help them choose their games wisely or to criticize at least more objectively and without being influenced by external factors such as ads or people's words. You act like the Cyberpunk case was the People v. Just because the evidence isn't in your favor does not mean it cannot be taken seriously. If you have to judge the necessity of something you must take them all into account, or else you will not be fair. This means you know the game is done and in scope, that its good and that the marketing team has confidence in consistently building hype, which actually only can happen if the game is very good, better than most. So it's very appropriate to trust games that have review embargoes lifted weeks ahead. Reviews before that patch is finished aren't representative of the game available on release date, so that would be kinda dumb for them to release that kind of thing.Īnd then, yes, on top of this, games that aren't good also get hidden this way, and indeed, we lose accountability on making good games because Day 1 sales can still go high even when a game is trash. This has a domino effect, even videos/youtube ads (since it's release time, those are out), shopping listings and any algorithms used by individual sites to control content (including just having newer articles first) all come together to make 'making a big splash' more impactful than two smaller splashes a month or so apart.Įven beyond the marketing reasons, games just aren't finished, because scope has outpaced deadlines so badly cross industry, that people are putting 80 hour weeks just to get a release day patch out to make the game work. 'video games' is so generic that its hard to rank for, but anything more specific, 'new video games' or 'best rpgs' might have a shot if everyone is talking about it, on various websites, etc. r/CoOpGaming - A community for co-op gaming r/xboxone - Xbox-specific subreddit for general Xbox news and discussion r/playstation, /r/PS4 & /r/PS5 - PlayStation-specific subreddits for general PlayStation news and discussion r/pcgaming - PC gaming-specific subreddit for general PC gaming news, discussion and gaming tech support r/nintendo - Nintendo-specific subreddit for general Nintendo news and discussion r/shouldibuythisgame - Find out what's worth getting. r/gamingsuggestions - Go here to help you find your next game to play r/gaming4gamers - Discussion, bar the Hivemind Top-level comments must be at least 100 characters in length. ![]() Accounts must be at least one month old.External Links must follow these guidelines No topics that belong in other subreddits ![]() This subreddit shouldn't be used for advice of any kind.

Emotion color wheel1/26/2024 ![]() The following are some feelings wheel PDFs: The darker colors reflect a higher intensity and the lighter shades show a lower level of emotions.įor example, rage in the wheel of emotions is annoyed at the minimum level of strength, represented by a lighter shade, whereas rage, which is the highest level of anger, is portrayed by a darker color. Within this wheel of emotions, various shades of colors are used to signify the strength of emotions. The wheel of emotions revealed basic emotions in the middle and surrounded by secondary emotions, the intensity of which increases as we move towards the center of the circle and decreases as we move to the opposite side, towards the outer side of the ring. Plutchik ‘s wheel of feelings was a tremendous success because it was very effective in understanding the interaction between various emotions. Importance of Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions ![]() While his wheel of emotions can often seem elusive, it is a great tool to explain concepts about emotions. He said what emotions are the opposite emotions, and he also discussed how one emotion is converted into another. ![]() In his wheel of emotions, Plutchik explained how these eight basic emotions relate to one another. These eight core emotions include happiness, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, excitement, frustration, and disgust. He invented the wheel of emotions, based on his theory, presenting eight basic emotions. Rober Pluchik was a psychologist who introduced the psycho-evolutionary theory of emotions. There is much more to learn from this blog so let’s start with the main definition of feelings wheel, also known as Plutchik’s wheel of emotions. This blog lays emphasis on the feelings wheel PDF.

Stereogram band1/26/2024 ![]() Users may find this information useful in the form of X-Y-Z vector directions. The angle bands are defined as azimuth and zenith angles for each product’s spectral band. For example, the whiskbroom scanner of Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), Landsat 4-5 Thematic Mapper (TM), and Landsat 1-5 Multispectral Scanner (MSS) instruments, to Landsat 8 and 9’s Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) pushbroom focal plane. The results look significantly different depending on the instrument architecture. The architecture of the imaging instrument, including the focal plane placement and layout, influence the results.The z-axis is represented by a vector perpendicular to the Earth ellipsoid at the point, the y-axis is geodetic north, and the x-axis is geodetic east. ![]() ![]() The sensor and solar angles are defined with respect to a local coordinate system centered on the imaged point on the surface of the Earth.The sensor viewing and solar illumination geometry vary with time and location due to the position and movement of the sun the position, orientation, and movement of the satellite and the location of the imaged object on the (rotating) Earth’s surface.The following technical details determine the outcome of the view angle bands for the product in which they are generated: Users of these tools, particularly those who rely upon the sensor viewing angles, should download and use the updated versions of these tools. Please visit the Landsat Sensor Viewing Angle Bands Known Issues page for more details about this issue. The Landsat 4-7 Angles Creation Tool has been updated to correct for this issue. This has been corrected in Landsat Collection 2 and will not impact the angle bands which are bundled as part of the Collection 2 Level-1 products. Collection 1 Landsat 8 data products are not impacted by this issue. The more widely used solar angle bands which are used to perform per-pixel solar corrections for Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance conversion are impacted, though it is less visible. In April 2020, the USGS identified an issue with the Landsat Angles Creation Tools which are provided to help some users generate solar illumination and sensor viewing angle bands from the angle coefficient file provided with Collection 1 Landsat 4-7 Level-1 products. Under certain circumstances, there can be discontinuities in the sensor zenith and azimuth bands generated by these tools. Some applications require additional information about the scene geometry – including elevation, slope / aspect, sensor viewing angles (elevation and azimuth), and/or solar illumination angles. The data are precisely registered to a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) (or for Antarctica, Polar Stereographic (PS)) map projection grid, making it straightforward to construct pixel ground coordinates from the product corners. These can be converted to at-sensor radiance or reflectance using the additive and multiplicative scaling parameters contained in the metadata file that is delivered with the products. Landsat Collections Level-1 products contain radiometrically and geometrically corrected image data for each spectral band and are delivered as fixed point digital numbers (8-bit for Landsat 4-5 and Landsat 7 16-bit for Landsat 8-9). The sensor and sun viewing angle generation tools and documentation can be found at the bottom of the page. This page describes the architecture and dependencies of sensor and sun angle viewing angles. The output files of these tools, termed as “angle bands,” are images that contain the solar and sensor viewing angles. The angle coefficient file is used as input into tools that allow users to generate sensor and sun viewing angles.

Msdn ipicture picturechanged1/25/2024 ![]() Have questions or feedback about Office VBA or this documentation? Please see Office VBA support and feedback for guidance about the ways you can receive support and provide feedback. Actually, just on a hunch I searched for IPicture in the VS.NET 2005 object browser and I discovered the following method: .GetIPictureFromPicture () Take a look at some of the other AxHost methods that deal with IPicture as well. Me!Visible1.Left = Me!Visible1.Left + 200 If (Me!Visible1.Left > gfrmWidth) Then Me!Visible1.Left = 0 Me!Visible1.PictureData = Me!Hidden2.PictureData Me!Visible1.PictureData = Me!Hidden1.PictureData The value of gfrmWidth is set to Me.Width in the form's open event. The visible image control is moved back to the left side of the form when its Left property value is greater than the width of the form stored in the public variable gfrmWidth. Each time the Timer event occurs, the picture in the image control Visible1 is changed by using the PictureData property of the hidden image controls, and the visible image control is moved 200 twips to the right. The TimerInterval property is set to 200. Both image controls have their Visible property set to False. The Hidden1 image control contains a picture of a butterfly with its wings up, and the Hidden2 image control contains a picture of the same butterfly with its wings down. The following example uses three image controls to animate a butterfly image across a form. You can also use the PictureData property together with the Timer event and the TimerInterval property to perform simple animation on a form. For example, you might open a Customers form by using a different background picture, depending on whether the form is opened for data entry or for browsing. Use this property to display different background pictures in a form, depending on actions taken by the user. The PictureData property setting is the PictureData property of another control, form, or report. SyntaxĮxpression A variable that represents an Image object. Use the PictureData property to copy the picture to another object that supports the Picture property.

Rough draft1/25/2024 ![]() In such a case there was (and is) no place for a rough draft. It had to follow a prescribed format according to prescribed procedures. In my previous profession, as an HM Schools Inspector, I had to produce two kinds of document. You might start with a "rough draft", edit it into a "reasonable draft", edit it again into a "final draft" and then turn it into a "published version". A "draft" might be preliminary, but a "rough draft" is very preliminary. "Rough" here isn't redundant, it's an intensifier. I added in a few chapter titles which Alice hadn't included, but I haven't put any detail in it's still a rough draft. Manager: Bob, did you manage to do anything with the rough draft of that report which Alice started?īob: Yeah, but I only had 10 minutes for it last night. ![]() Therefore a "rough draft" is "a draft that is not perfected in any detail". not polished or perfected in any detail rudimentary not elaborate.I don't see "rough draft" as a compound noun, I see "draft" as a noun and "rough" as an adjective, meaning: Instead of nitpicking, concentrate on cementing your undeveloped ideas.From a quick google I found that some other dictionaries agree with Merriam Webster that a "rough draft" is a first draft: and oxford dictionaries. After the initial draft, finessing the technical, finer parts of writing like word choice and syntax is easier, so compartmentalize and keep them for later. This is because focusing on finding the appropriate word or double-checking your grammar implies that you’re not looking at the overall picture. The purpose of a rough draft, as previously said, is to get all of your ideas down on paper, not to write everything perfectly on the first try. Allowing oneself to write clumsily is the most crucial tip for producing rough drafts. Now you may confidently begin your first draft. Consider your outline to be the rough draft for your rough draft-a map of where everything will go. The outlining phase follows brainstorming and is critical for arranging your content and putting everything in a logical order. While you’ll come up with new ideas as you write the rough draft, it’s always a good idea to gather as many as you can ahead of time. Whether it’s fresh ideas for fiction or supporting evidence for nonfiction, starting with the brainstorming process is critical for extracting and organizing all of the stuff you want to put in your writing. To begin with, the first draft is not the first step. Certain defects, like organizational issues or plot gaps, aren’t obvious until they’re written down. Finding the right term and arranging pieces in the ideal order is considerably easier after you’ve completed the first draft, although doing so without one can be quite difficult and time-consuming.Ī rough draft also aids in the identification of problematic areas that are difficult to recognize through outlining and brainstorming alone. The ultimate purpose of your rough draft is to get your thoughts down on paper and give yourself a place to start. Remember: It doesn’t have to be perfect it simply has to be. When approached with the appropriate perspective, the rough draft might assist in overcoming these challenges by relieving pressure. Even if you have a knack for stringing words together, you’re not immune to the worries that plague all writers, such as impending deadlines, creative blockages, or a variety of personal issues. We know that writing is a difficult process. Because it involves the majority of the actual “writing,” it’s frequently the most time-consuming and laborious phase. ![]() The rough draft is step three of the five-stage writing process that is recommended. ![]() The aim is to have a substantial amount of your project written first, then worry about the issues later. A rough draft is never meant to be perfect it’ll be riddled with grammatical errors, poor choices of words, and structural flaws. It serves as a foundation for the final product. A rough draft, often known as a first draft (or, according to some experts, a “sloppy copy”), is an unfinished piece of writing that represents your first attempt to put all of your thoughts on paper.
