PR Prose: PR pros can help people unite or we can help them divide
Posted May 9, 2019
By Dr. Shannon Bowen, professor in the public relations sequence
Reprinted with permission from PRWeek
As the news illustrates almost every day, the world has become more contentious and divided than in recent memory. As public relations pros we can help people converse, unite, understand, and listen — or we can help them divide.
What is our moral responsibility? How can we help our profession behave more ethically and have a positive impact on the communities and people around us?
Consider the public relations function itself. We strive for a competitive advantage for our organizations and clients, using the communication function to differentiate ourselves and stay connected to stakeholders.
That's how we contribute to our organizations and earn a seat at the table. Competitiveness is key. But what if we also embraced our roles as communication facilitators?
Although being competitive is central, we can also use our roles to help resolve conflict, generate ethical awareness and responsiveness, and to build understanding with stakeholders and even the people who may not even like us.
But what does it take to accomplish this in such a contentious environment?
A communication facilitator listens intently and acts as a liaison between two or more perspectives. Building dialogue is not easy. We must act with good will, listen to understand, not to prepare counter-points, and be willing to relinquish power for a shared understanding.
Sharing power is difficult for competitive businesses. In today's divisive environment, those seeking power seem to outnumber those who try to enhance and enable the voices of others.
One potential solution: Act as a conscientious facilitator for our organizations and clients and engage with the people who are dissatisfied with our organizations. It's a bold move, but one filled with moral autonomy, respect, and dignity.
This must be done with good intent and to help promote understanding and resolve problems, rather than to simply pacify or silence our critics.
It can also be unpleasant. You may be rebuffed, or met with derision, suspicion, and contempt. But, the role of conscientious facilitator offers huge benefits and offers insight into the perspective of others.
In a world full of divisiveness, PR pros can enhance their own worth by being the reasonable voice, the facilitator of accord, and a leader respected by all who creates a zone of understanding.
Being a conscientious facilitator requires us to be active and mindful, rather than simply convinced of the rightness of our causes. And we're required to be flexible, patient and resilient when forging a path through this difficult and divisive terrain.
For example, Bill Nielsen, a leader for years at Johnson & Johnson, once told me he regularly attended animal rights activist meetings so he could talk with them and understand their values and priorities.
He was routinely scowled upon, but he was in the room when others were not. Sometimes it just takes showing up with good intent to improve the world and lessen the divisiveness in our small part of it.
This is the essence of ethical, conscientious facilitation in public relations that leads to true collaboration and better relationships over time.
Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.

The clap of the hands is an important part of both the science and practice of North Indian music. It has a hoary past. An elaborate system of clapping and hand movements is mentioned in the Natya Shastra (circa 200 bc) where it is part of the system of timekeeping known as "kriya".
The clap of the hands is very important for the conceptualization of Indian rhythms. North Indian musicians use the claps to designate the measures (vibhag) which are highly stressed. The most stressed measure is the beginning of the cycle. This is called the "sam", and is the most important beat in the whole cycle.
The clapping of hands is also of great practical importance. It is a convenient means for the singers and other musicians to communicate with the tabla player (tabalji) without having to break the performance.

In Achieve Agility with the Right Batch, we explored how and why to define a batch which delivers value. Now we'll look at how to make your system deliver more batches faster.
Steps to Improve Your Development System
We start by envisioning the development process as a system or machine turning ideas into saleable stuff. Our work is divided into batches, which are carefully defined so each one will deliver value. During development, each batch moves through a series of activities from start to finish. The system can be optimized by applying the tools of queueing theory to this batch-and-activity model.
First, we need to be able to see what is going on. We will:
- Explicitly identify and name the individual batches.
- Map the system. A very simple state map will be enough.
- Set up a way to see batches move through the map of successive activities. For instance, a visual planning board.
Once you can see what is happening, you can improve the progress of batches through your system by applying some standard tools derived from queuing theory:
- Batch size
- WIP Control
- Integration & synchronization using cadence
- Prioritization of batches
Different Solutions for Different Systems
A given tool, when applied to different systems, may recommend different methods. This sometimes makes people think that the methods have nothing in common, when in fact they are based on the same queuing theory tools applied to different types of work.
For instance, agile software development prioritizes its batches by putting them all in a backlog, and periodically choosing which ones to work on next. This is very flexible and responsive way to handle jobs – but it assumes that the batches can be done in any order, delivered at any time, and don't have long lead times.
Rapid Learning Cycles prioritizes its batches at the beginning of the project, and lays them out in a time-based visual planning board. That's because many of the batches are order-dependent, have early deadlines, or have long lead times. A backlog doesn't have any tools to deal with the interdependencies, so a time-based plan is necessary. But at the same time, Rapid Learning Cycles framework achieves the flexibility to respond to newly gained knowledge by using a light-weight to capture the plan, and then reviewing and adjusting the plan every few weeks.
Both Scrum and Rapid Learning Cycles do a minimum of up-front planning by capturing only short descriptions of their epics/user stories on the one hand, and Knowledge Gaps on the other hand. They both expect the plan to change, and provide for that change in planned meetings on a cadence. However, they use different prioritization methods because their batches have different properties.
More examples of when to use different prioritization methods: State-Driven and Date-Driven Planning Boards.

Suggested Answer to Exercise 16.2 (Part 1)
Approaching the Question
The suggested answer contained in these pages is designed to illustrate how to answer Exercise 16.2 whilst also helping you to develop your problem answering skills.
 - It is only an illustration. There is no one right way to answer any question.
 - It is in note form – you need to develop and practice your own style of answering questions.
 - It is easy to be overawed by the complexity of questions like this one. In fact, they are relatively straightforward: primarily you are being asked to address the relative priority of the various interests being claimed in the house.
 - You are expressly told that title to the land is unregistered at the beginning of the question. However, you must also be alert to any events in the question that might trigger first registration of all or part of the title (see Land Law, Chapter 15). Whilst it is best to keep the rules of registered and unregistered land entirely separate in your mind, you must be ready to use both sets of rules where it is appropriate to do so.
Before you go to the next page, make notes under the following headings:
 - What issues are raised by these facts (what do Clive, Lucy and Emma want to know)?
 - What rules will you need to use to answer their questions?

I've seen this flower in bloom for some time now, but only after the arrival of my now favorite field guide, [see references at the end of this post] did I even try to identify it.
It is Lantana camara, a plant known to and named by Linneaus himself. He gave it the genus name Lantana, which is an ancient Latin name for a Verbena species (L. camara is in the Verbena family). The species name camara is a South American common name for the plant, so Linneaus must also have known where the plant came from.
Two questions about this plant: 1) why are there both yellow and red flowers in the flowerhead, and 2) is it a weed or a wildflower?
First, more description:
The flowerheads are dome-shaped, made up of many individual flowers, which are tubular and have 4 petals. The buds are in the center of the flowerhead, the young open flowers are yellow, and the old flowers are red. I'll come back to these colors later.
The plant is a shrub with hairy square stems that may or may not have thorns. This one does:
The leaves are toothed and opposite, a lighter green color below.
What does this plant smell like? My field guide describes the odor as pungent, but I've seen many, many descriptions of the aroma. I first saw the smell described on the web as cat pee. I didn't think it smelled like that, so I began looking for other descriptions. At one site I found different individuals describing the odor as, respectively, "citrus-sage, spicy, [an objectionable] mixture of mint and camphor with a touch of onion, horrible, chicken droppings, none."
This is an amazing list – it makes me wonder whether the soil where it grows doesn't have something to do with the smell. Personally, I found the smell fairly strong but not unpleasant, falling somewhere between the citrus-sage description and spicy. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden recommends including L. camara in a "fragrance garden!"
Now, is it a wildflower or a weed? The eternal question. Here in Central (and northern South) America, where L. camara is native, it can be enjoyed for its own sake. It has been cultivated for more than 300 years so obviously has an esthetic appeal. But L. camara is listed in the Global Invasive Species Database because it can be invasive outside Central and northern South American. In Australia, it is listed as a "Weed of National Significance."
The Global Invasive Species Database does list many uses for L. camara including as a herbal medicine (research in India shows that leaf extracts have antimicrobial, fungicidal, insecticidal, and nematicidal activity.) The shrubs benefit bird species and the flower is a "…major nectar source for many species of butterflies and moths."
L. camara has been described as an excellent hummingbird shrub that seems even more attractive to butterflies. Which brings me back to the red and yellow colors. My field guide says that the "…old, deep-orange flowers, which persist for some time, provide landing surfaces for butterflies, deter nectar-robbing Trigona bees from accessing the bases of the newer, inner flowers…" This sentence is tantalizing. Nectar-robbing bees?
Further searching on the web turned up an article called "Nectar Robbing and Pollination of Lantana camara (Verbenaceae)" [see references at the end of this post]. It turns out that 1) several flowers in the inflorescence open each day, usually about dawn, 2) newly opened flowers are yellow and start to change color after about 9 hours and the color continues to deepen as the flowers age, 3) yellow flowers contain pollen and nectar but by the time they are red-orange, they have "negligible pollen and no nectar," and 4) the stingless bee Trigona fulviventris bites holes in the bases of the stamens of L. camara and robs nectar without performing pollination.
The authors learned that with orange and reddish-orange flowers present, the yellow flowers are not robbed as often as they are in the absence of those flowers. Butterflies are the pollinators of L. camara, and the authors suggest that the flower has evolved to feed both its robber and its pollinators.
I haven't found any studies yet about hummingbirds and L. camara. Here in Panama, birds (flycatchers, honey-creepers, and tanagers) have been seen eating the berries (this according to my field guide), but no word on hummingbirds and nectar or pollination. Many sites that sell garden plants list L. camara as a plant that attracts hummingbirds, but I notice that the Kemper Center for Home Gardening at the Missouri Botanical Garden has not checked the "attracts hummingbirds" box but has checked the "attracts butterflies" box.
Now, at least, I know to keep a close watch on this attractive wildflower/weed. I've seen a moth on it, but no bees, butterflies, or hummingbirds. Time to go take a deeper look.

Learn how to use captive Wi-Fi networks on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Captive Wi-Fi networks are public Wi-Fi networks that you subscribe to or pay to use. These networks are also called "subscription" or "Wi-Fi Hotspot" networks. You can find captive Wi-Fi networks in coffee shops, Internet cafes, hotels, airports, and other public locations. In some countries, captive networks are sponsored and maintained by wireless carriers (like AT&T wireless hotspots in Starbucks).
Join a captive Wi-Fi network
 1. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
 2. Tap the name of the network you want to join. You'll see a Log In screen.
To use the captive Wi-Fi service, you might need to enter a username and password, enter an email address, or acknowledge terms and conditions (or, see what happens if you tap Cancel). Options vary depending on the captive Wi-Fi provider. You might see options like this:
If you cancel before logging in to the network
If you joined the network from the Wi-Fi screen using the button, or you joined less than eight minutes ago, you'll see a message telling you the network isn't connected to the Internet. You can choose one of these options:
Join Wi-Fi networks automatically
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will remember the network and login information so you can automatically reconnect to that network when you're in range.
 1. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi
 2. Tap next to the network name.
 3. Make sure Auto-Join is turned on.
Turn Auto-Join off if you don't want to connect automatically. Turn Auto-Login off to skip the Welcome screen the next time you connect to the network.

Thread profiling in Python - Amjith Ramanujam
Tags: django, djangocon, python
Amjith Ramanujam recently wrote a thread profiler in Python and it was rediculously simple. He works for New Relic, which is all about performance and expecially performance measuring.
Python comes with batteries included, so it also includes a C profiler that works pretty well. But it doesn't work nice for django because the output is so huge. If you use the GUI RunSnakeRun, it is more managable that way.
Additional problem with cProfile: it has about 100% overhead, so you can't run it in production (which they need).
You can do more targeted profiling. For instance in Django. The way a web framework processes requests is normally always in the same way. You can use that during profiling.
There are two important stages: interrupt and inquire.
A statistical profiler looks how often a function is called and by who. For this it needs to interrupt the regular process. You could set an OS-level signal to call your profiler every x miliseconds so that it can do something. It only works in linux, btw. Another way is to create a python background thread that wakes up every x miliseconds. It is cross-platform and mod_wsgi compatible. It is less accurate for CPU tasks and it cannot interrupt C extensions.
You can use sys._current_frames() to get yourself the frames ("stack trace") from the current thread. Here you can extract the filename, line number and so of the most interesting frames. He's building a "call tree" structure, mapping how often a function is called, preserving the parent/child relation between functions. The tricky part was visualizing it :-) In the end they did it with d3.js.
There's some 3% overhead in the thread approach, so that's real good. They can switch it on for a type of request and it'll profile the next 100 requests of that type.

to be asking yourself.
First of all, the standard is to always make that tone change when speaking. It's a given: if you're saying more than one syllable at a time, mind your tone sandhi switches. This is why in Ninchanese our audio automatically includes tone changes. In writing, the
Second, that's not the case in writing. In writing, the characters and sentences you learn do not follow tone changes, and that's the norm. Why is that? There's no simple way to indicate whether the tone you're reading follows or not tone sandhi (i.e those tone changes we've been telling you about). So, it's standard to not change tones in writing. That means you are expected to automatically make the changes in your head when you speak and read a sentence. Now you know.
Getting used to thinking about tone sandhi rules
Getting used to changing tones — in your head — can take some time, let's be blunt. The main issue resides in the fact you have to think about the fact you're going to be stringing two or more characters together and therefore will be needing to apply tone changes. But don't worry and by all means, don't keep yourself from talking if you're not sure what rule to apply! It's something you learn with time.
Yes, believe our experience, with time, applying tone sandhi can become as automatic as knowing when to say "a" and "an" in English.
A summary of the major tone sandhi rules to know
Feeling ready to start changing your tones in natural conversation in Chinese? Good. Before we leave you, here's a summary of the different behaviors tones can adopt based on what they're followed by.
Now you know that tones aren't always very open, and sometimes want to show a different face to others.
- Both 不 and 一 change their original tones when they meet a fourth tone. They either become a second tone or a neutral tone
- A third tone followed by another third tone becomes a "second" tone
- A third tone followed by any other tone (expect a third tone) becomes a low, falling, tone
- Three third tones in a row, or more follow tone changes, but these need to be studied more in depth. In general: keep in mind that the third tone is a low, falling tone in natural conversation.
- Some characters change their original tone into a neutral tone when they are the second character in a two character word.
We hope these explanations will have helped you understand better what tone sandhi is about and when you need to think about changing your tones in conversation in Mandarin. As often, practice, practice, and mirroring others (native speakers preferably) is the best way to fully master tone sandhi changes. Do you have any questions about tone sandhi or specific tone changes? Let us know in the comments and we'll gladly answer! Also, if you want to _TAG_ your own Chinese related question, head here and fire away!

In this post series, we will introduce you to previously published research from the IHOPE network connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The relevance of the research was identified by the OSDG artificial intelligence software, and is subsequently manually reviewed.
Do you want to find out how to connect present, past and future to build sustainable communities and support clean water and sanitation?
In 2016, several IHOPE members co-authored a chapter titled Applied Perspectives on Pre-Columbian Maya Water Management Systems: What Are the Insights for Water Security?. The publication, in a classic IHOPE-manner, draws from the past to tackle present and future challenges. Among the main insights, gathered from the highly varied social region of the Maya Lowlands is the value of institutional and technological diversity. The chapter is part of the book The Oxford Handbook of Historical Ecology and Applied Archaeology in which the reader can find many more examples of past insights for present and future challenges.

All the visible action of the play takes place in the same room in an English country house, a couple of centuries apart. Keeping the action all in the same place underscores the similarities between the two plots, and the two eras in which they take place. While in the present day, Valentine waxes rhapsodic about what the information revolution has done for science, the rumble of Mr. Noakes's steam engine signals another revolution that ultimately made iPhones and Guitar Hero possible: the Industrial Revolution. By focusing on two moments of technological change through the lens of a single room that doesn't change all that much, the play suggests that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Note #1: the play's stage directions say "the present day" rather than a specific year, but elsewhere (not in the play itself) "the present day" has been defined as 1989, which is four years before the play originally opened.
Note #2: For more on the pastoral setting of Sidley Park, see "The Garden" in "Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory."

Both regions have a number of numerous and remarkable natural resources ranging from timber, water and mineral resources. This marked the beginning of industrialization in Canada, USA and Europe therefore, there is emergency of manufacturing sectors. Canada and America share most things in common especially the similarities in the nation identities Even though Europe, Canada and America have similarities, their main difference is in economy systems but very far from each other as they differ on some economical aspects (Climan, 2002). Both United States and Canada have mixed economical ownership of both private and public ownership; however the rate of public ownership is higher in Canada and USA as compared to Europe where the rate of private ownership is lower. The rate of industrialization in Europe is also remarkable and in most cases it is characterized by public ownership, On the other hand, these regions have differences due to economical approach of USA which has given the United States the strongest economy, contrary the economy of Europe is negatively affected by its economy system which has so far made their dollar weaker in the world market however both Canada and USA have had a bigger advantage as compared to Europe but the resent reactions from investors in both countries show that they are in big debts, however in Europe there is low debts hence they have elevated themselves therefore their economy has grown further. Ideally countries from Europe lack enough money settle the debt crisis but Germany took the initiative of settling this issue
The environmental policies of Canada affect US through the international policy making. However, this only comes because of willingness of Canada to work with weaker nation.
European nations are environmental conscious than Canada and USA. this has served as the counter balance of the US which is the world strongest, however they work closely with their southern counterparts in the development of the environmental policies which had a greater effect to the northern parts of America directly and impacting on the other parts of America indirectly. The European nations are constructed in manner that allows their environment to be kept green, for example in countries like Netherlands it is not allowed to throw garbage unnecessarily as an environmental precaution. The environmental goals are set by superior countries through the commission of environmental cooperation (Climan, 2002).
Despite the likeness of these two regions on kinship and manpower, there have been the criteria for the admission of the immigrants. Basically, after a close examination of both the USA and Canada it is evident that the volume occupation and origin of immigration flows in between these two nations (Bukhart & Alm, 2006). On the other hand immigration in Europe is held hostage by the ant-immigration policies which had to lock out foreigners; this caused high level of insecurity in Europe. European nations have to embrace policies like those of Canada and USA which makes them lands of immigrants.
There are several economical similarities between these two regions: basically they both rely on industry as their major economic supporter and the difference is that European nations have lesser investors as compared to US and Canada, as a result debts are lower in Europe and higher in USA and Canada. Basing on environment, European nations are more environmental conscious due to the set environmental policies, but the lack of well established environmental policies in Canada and USA, causes more environmental challenges. Canada and USA have established themselves as lands of immigration but many European nations have set policies which do not allow foreigners in their countries.

The Trick to Learning to Fingerpick
We picked up this golden nugget of guitar playing advice in an interview with Kurt Vile. Like most good advice, it's surprisingly simple but not necessarily obvious.
Featured photo for The Trick to Learning to Fingerpick
Learning how to do some basic fingerpicking can really open up your world as a guitar player. You'll have a great way to accompany yourself as a solo singer, you'll be more welcome at a back porch jam session, and you can even add some hill-country blues licks to you electric guitar toolbox that will quickly have you sounding like Keith Richards.
Luckily for you, there's one simple technique that you can learn to open up this fingerpicking wonderland–the alternating thumb method.
The Alternating Thumb Pattern
Earl Scruggs popularized this style of playing with his self-titled banjo method in the mid-20th century. He called it the alternating thumb pattern. A lot of times you'll hear it called "Travis Style Picking." It's the heart of the Earl Scruggs style of banjo, but it's equally useful on the guitar. It's really simple, and it's not that hard.
All you have to do is keep a steady alternating bassline running with your thumb as you move through a chord progression. Once you have that down, you've got a sturdy foundation that you can use to start building a library of fingerpicking patterns with your index, middle, and ring fingers. But as soon as you have a steady, alternating thumb, you'll have a lot of new options.
Cover of Earl Scruggs and the 5 String Banjo Instruction Album
How to Practice
Start by running through some chords and plucking the lowest string in each chord followed by the second lowest string in each chord with your thumb. Keep alternating back and forth several times then switch to the next chord. I like to practice with the old folk standard "500 Miles," which goes like this:
E > F#m > A > F#m > A > B7
It's a simple progression that sounds great with an alternating bassline. Once you have that thumb steady, then start plucking the chords on the offbeat with your index finger and middle fingers. Once you've got that steady, you can start rolling between the chords with those same three fingers. If at any point you lose track of the bassline, strip it down and get that steady again before moving forward.
If you don't believe us, just listen to our buddy Kurt Vile. Check out this video. Around 3:10 they start talking about fingerpicking and Kurt says:
"The thing people don't know—you gotta worry about the thumb first. People like wanna be able to do it all. But really you can just sit and do the thumb. Just like you could do that forever, and then you could add a finger."
Here's a video illustrating how to practice this:
Lock into this until you zone out. It's great way to meditate. Pick up the guitar everyday and just do this for a few minutes. The goal is to get that thumb rock solid. Once it can't be shaken your options will start to open up.
Now Do Some Tricks
Once you can play through chord changes fluidly and keep the alternating thumb going, you can start to learn different patterns of rolling your fingers and mixing and matching them. A great example is in Bob Dylan's version of "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" on his first album. He uses the alternating thumb along with plucked chords to give it a country blues feel. Just by plucking instead of doing a Scruggs-style roll you've suddenly opened up a whole new way of playing.
As long as you keep that thumb on the alternating bassline steady, you can try anything and it will probably sound good. Just keep that thumb steady.
Recommended Listening
In case you need some inspiration to get you excited about learning this new technique, here are some of my favorite fingerpicking songs:
Josh Ritter & Dawn Lands - "500 Miles"
This is an old folk standard by Hedy West, but this is a beautiful version. It's great chord progression to practice on.
Bob Dylan - "Don't Think Twice It's Alright"
This is pretty advanced, but we're trying to get inspired, right! We'll do a future post with a tutorial on how to play this song.
Bob Dylan - "Baby Let Me Follow You Down"
Great example of using syncopated chord plucking with the alternating thumb technique.
Nico - "Fairest of the Seasons"
Nico - "These Days"
Both of these songs were written and played by Jackson Browne. I used to think he was a cheesy 70s singer until I heard this. Apparently he's the real deal.
Badly Drawn Boy - "Hour of the Bewilderbeast"
This is a great song that combines the alternating thumb pattern with strummed chords. Just another great example of the versatility of this pattern.
Beck - "Lost Cause"
Beck's most beautiful song? Perhaps. We'll teach this one sometime in the future.

Explores theoretical and ethnographic advanced topics in medical anthropology. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
Class Description for *Spring* Quarter, 479: Following from the idea that health is never value-neutral, but responds to and produces inclusions and exclusions, this course examines how the fields of medicine and public health shape politics and cultural practice in Latin America—and how the sociopolitics of Latin America, in turn, affect practices of medicine. Using case studies and films from various Latin American countries and contexts, we look at how local explanations for pain and suffering connect to wider political systems, social orders, and standards for citizenship. "Health" serves as an entry point to critically discuss the construction of the Americas, legacies of colonialism in public health policies, politics of race in clinical practice, and the challenges of care practices in environments of inequality.

Virtual reality has revolutionized the way we experience gaming, immersing us in thrilling worlds where we can engage in intense battles and test our skills against players from around the globe. Multiplayer VR shooting games have emerged as one of the most popular genres, offering heart-pounding action and intense competition. In these immersive virtual environments, players must not only rely on their reflexes and aim but also develop effective strategies to outwit their opponents and claim victory.
In this article, we will delve into the exciting realm of multiplayer VR shooting games and explore the strategies that can elevate your gameplay to new heights. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting your virtual combat journey, this guide will provide you with valuable insights and practical tips to sharpen your skills and dominate the virtual battlefield.
Understanding the Importance of Strategy in Multiplayer VR Shooters
In the fast-paced and highly competitive world of multiplayer VR shooters, strategy plays a crucial role in determining success or failure. While quick reflexes and accurate shooting are undoubtedly essential, a well-thought-out plan can give you a significant advantage over opponents who rely solely on instinct.
Outsmarting the Enemy
In multiplayer VR shooters, you're up against real players, each with their unique playstyles, strengths, and weaknesses. A solid strategy allows you to anticipate their moves, exploit their vulnerabilities, and counter their tactics effectively. By analyzing enemy patterns and behaviors, you can make smarter decisions and gain the upper hand in engagements.
Maximizing Limited Resources
Often, multiplayer VR shooters have limited resources such as ammo, health packs, and power-ups. A strategic approach helps you manage these resources efficiently, ensuring you have what you need when it matters most. Knowing when to conserve, share, or seek out resources can be the difference between survival and defeat.
Many multiplayer VR shooters emphasize team-based gameplay, where effective communication and coordination are vital. A well-devised strategy allows you to work seamlessly with your teammates, executing coordinated maneuvers, flanking maneuvers, and synchronized attacks. By leveraging each player's strengths and covering each other's weaknesses, you create a formidable force that is hard to overcome.
Adaptation to Changing Circumstances
Multiplayer VR shooters are dynamic environments where conditions can shift rapidly. A solid strategy not only guides your initial approach but also enables you to adapt to changing circumstances on the fly. Whether it's adjusting your positioning, altering your tactics, or devising new plans on the spot, being adaptable and flexible is key to staying one step ahead of the competition.
Strategy extends beyond physical actions; it also encompasses psychological warfare. Mind games, misdirection, and baiting techniques can confuse and disorient your opponents, giving you the element of surprise and making them more prone to mistakes. By understanding the psychological aspects of gameplay, you can manipulate your opponents' emotions and decision-making, gaining a strategic advantage.
Enhancing Your Aim in Multiplayer VR Shooters
In the realm of multiplayer VR shooters, having a precise aim is an essential skill that can greatly impact your performance on the virtual battlefield. Whether you're engaged in intense firefights or aiming for that crucial headshot, honing your aim can be a game-changer. Here are some tips to help you enhance your aim and become a formidable marksman in multiplayer VR shooters.
Adjust Your Controller Settings
Fine-tuning your controller settings can significantly improve your aim. Experiment with sensitivity, dead zone, and acceleration settings to find what feels most comfortable and responsive for you. Some players prefer higher sensitivity for quick target acquisition, while others may prefer lower sensitivity for more precise aiming. Find the right balance that suits your playstyle and allows for smooth, accurate movements.
Like any skill, aiming in VR shooters requires practice and muscle memory. Set aside dedicated time for aim training, focusing on both static and moving targets. Many VR shooters offer shooting ranges or training modes where you can refine your aim in a controlled environment. Consistent practice will help you develop better hand-eye coordination, reflexes, and overall shooting proficiency.
Maintain Proper Body Posture
Your body posture plays a vital role in aim stability and accuracy. Stand or sit in a relaxed yet stable position, ensuring that your body and arms are comfortably aligned. Keep your elbows close to your body and maintain a firm grip on the VR controllers. Avoid excessive movement and unnecessary arm extensions, as they can introduce inconsistencies in your aim.
Focus on Crosshair Placement
Pay attention to your crosshair placement and ensure it is positioned at head or chest level. By having your crosshair at the right height, you can minimize the time required to aim at opponents and increase your chances of landing crucial shots. Continually train yourself to instinctively position your crosshair at the optimal spot, even while moving or strafing.
Utilize Virtual Sights and Scopes
Take advantage of in-game virtual sights and scopes to enhance your aim. These tools provide magnification and improved target visibility, allowing for more precise aiming. Familiarize yourself with the different sight options available in the game and practice using them effectively. Remember to account for any bullet drop or bullet travel time associated with long-range engagements.
Find Your Dominant Eye
Determine your dominant eye and use it to your advantage when aiming. Align your dominant eye with the virtual sights or scopes to improve accuracy and focus. This can be especially helpful when engaging targets at longer distances or in situations where precision is crucial.

Irish Fiddle Lessons - Ian Walsh teaches the Irish Hornpipe The Golden Eagle.
Tags:How to Play the Song "The Golden Eagle" on an Iris,Ian Walsh,irish Fiddle Lesson,Learn To Play Fiddle,Learning Irish Fiddle,The Golden Eagle,Violin fiddle lessons
Grab video code:
Hi! Welcome to OnLineLessonVideos.com. I'm Ian Walsh and I'm going to teach an Irish tune today on the fiddle. It's called the Golden Eagle and it's a horn pipe. We'll play it in the key of G.
I'll start off by playing you a sample of the tune along to a quick track that I've set at about 70 beats per minute. So here we go with the Golden Eagle.
Let's begin by leading into this tune with some pickup notes. We'll start on the C, this is on the A string here. You work up A, B, C which plays right next to your first finger pretty much right on top of it. So that could be our first note and we'll start with the triplet here. So three notes and then we'll go to the G. So let's just cycle through that a few times [Demonstration]. Try sliding into your first note, the C and I'll give it a little bit of an aggressive edge [Demonstration].
Let's take a look at another section here, we go down to our B on the g string and we play. So we're crossing three strings, pretty quickly there and I'm not doing anything special with my bow. I'm keeping my bow movement short and I'm working at the top of my bow but I'm not slurring any notes, I'm going straight up and down here. So from B [Demonstration], so those notes are B, D, G, B.
Let's take a look at another section here. We start with the open D. This is a little bit easier, you're only working across two strings and you're using your first and third fingers.
Let's take a look at another one. This is more or less a G arpeggio and it starts on the G on the d string and we play [Demonstration]. So again, you're moving across three strings here ending on the e string on that G note with your second finger.
So let's go back to the beginning here and we'll look at that pickup note, the C, B, A down to your first note of the tune, the G. Take a look at the second little section. You go down to that low B and all the way up to the B again. Then we look here to the low D [Demonstration] and then finally we have that G arpeggio [Demonstration].
Notice I'm leaving my fingers down on the A string here. You can visualize two of the double stamps that are readily apparent here for the G. You can use a G with a D with your A and your E string or you can do the G and the B. Leaving your fingers down can be good practice for getting your fingers just on the individual strings.
Let's put all of these together and see what it sounds like. I'll count us in, one, two, three, [Demonstration] one, two, three [Demonstration]. One more time, one, two, three [Demonstration]

The Green Quality of 3D Printing: HP Printing Celebrates Earth Day
The Green Quality of 3D Printing: HP Printing Celebrates Earth Day
This Earth Day, HP Printing is celebrating by talking about the benefits of 3D printing technology, and what that could mean for an individual, a business and the future of the earth.
For Earth Day's 50th anniversary, it's only fitting that we recognize the many ways we (as people, companies, organizations, countries and a world) are working towards a better earth and not away from it. As a recognized, eco-friendly company, HP Printing is not new to the idea of making supply chains, systems and products environmentally friendly.
Ramon Pastor, Interim Head of 3D Printing and Digital Manufacturing, answered some questions about 3D printing and how it is not only growing, but also becoming an incredibly important technology for a number of reasons.
Not only is 3D printing helping provide healthcare workers with PPE for COVID-19, but it is also helping systems and supply chains simplify and clean their resource use for the good of the earth and the happiness of the customer. HP of all companies can tell you that a company's efforts toward making eco-friendly products and the satisfaction of the customer are no longer mutually exclusive.
3D printing may just be a perfect bridge for those two parties. Here are Pastor's responses:
Why is 3D printing important right now?
"Technology has the ability to make life better for everyone, everywhere. Digital manufacturing enables this by making production faster and increasingly responsive to the immediate needs of people in a particular place or time, and 3D printing technology is being used now to produce the lifesaving supplies our medical professionals and first responders need. While 3D printing requires a relearning process, from conceptualization, to design, to production, to distribution, this time of need has shown us why experts from every industry must rally behind its life-changing potential."
How does digital manufacturing contribute to sustainable impact?
"Technology has the ability to make life better for everyone, everywhere. Digital manufacturing has a transformational role to play in creating a more sustainable, more collaborative world. It circumvents broken supply chains and makes scalability more viable. All of this is in service of people—the creators, the workforces and the customers who benefit from a cleaner, more collaborative way of producing."
Why is collaboration important right now?
"Our industry mobilized quickly around COVID-19, not only because of technology, but also because of partnerships. Businesses working together with government agencies, academics, and changemakers in markets around the world have convened resources and proven to be a powerful ecosystem with a shared vision for saving lives and facilitating a more sustainable future—something that no single entity could have done alone. Through collaboration, our industry has been able to share ideas and transform workflows in a matter of hours or days, not months or years."
How are you working alongside your partners to make a sustainable impact?
"Within the first four weeks of the virus spreading in the U.S., HP produced 50,000 medical parts, like masks and swabs, but our partners amplified that effort with tens of thousands more. For example, one of our partners, SmileDirectClub, repurposed more than 30 of its HP 3D printers to produce face shields at scale—up to 10,000 a day—while its research and development team worked around the clock on innovative filtration masks."
How does community play a role in innovation?
"As we work to protect everyone's wellbeing, we need to think big without overlooking what's directly in front of us. Looking to our own backyards and investing in our communities helps keep our innovations personal. If we aim to create solutions that serve our own people, exponential progress will follow."
How and why is HP contributing to the COVID-19 response?
"To meet the most urgent needs, we've converted our research-and-development facilities in Barcelona, Spain; Corvallis, OR; San Diego, CA; and Vancouver, WA into full-scale production factories for face masks and shields, nasal swabs, respirator parts, and more, and we're collaborating with partners around the world in a coordinated effort to increase production.
This time has been a sobering reminder that we are all linked, regardless of who we are and where we come from. This pandemic has been devastating to communities all over the globe, and we must rely on ingenuity, invention, and each other to contribute to the response. The digital manufacturing industry has been a frontrunner in showing the world what's possible when technology and human creativity are put to the test, and our 3D printing technology can make purposeful change now."
3D printing is in its early stages of development, and there is still so much potential for its capabilities, efficiencies and powers. Still, it has already show benefits to the worlds of academia, corporate, healthcare and more. To learn more about ways that 3D printing is a sustainable option, read this article by 3D Natives.

How do I add a filter to a profile?
Constructing a filter in Urchin requires careful attention to detail. This is important for both performance reasons and to ensure that the filter behaves in a predictable manner. Urchin uses POSIX regular expression for specifying filter patterns, which are quite robust but can also be rather complex. Specifying a regular expression filter pattern incorrectly may not only generate the wrong results, but may significantly increase Urchin log processing times; perhaps as much as an order of magnitude.
Tips for Filtering
The general rule of thumb with filters is "the simpler, the better". Each filter you add increases processing time. Complex filtering patterns also increase processing time.
 1. Use as simple a pattern as possible that matches only what you are trying to filter. For instance, if you want to filter out "googlebot" in the Browsers, just put "googlebot" as the filter pattern, not ".*googlebot.*".
 2. Whenever possible, use a single filter with multiple patterns instead of multiple separate filters. As an example, if you want to filter out PDF files, Flash files, and MPEGs from your Top Pages reports, use a filter pattern of "\.pdf|\.swf|\.mpeg" instead of creating a separate filter for each.
 3. Remember to escape regular expression metacharacters (see below) by preceding them with a backslash if you are using those specific characters are part in your pattern. For example, the dot "." character is a regular expression metacharacter. Therefore, if you want to filter out an IP address you need to specify the filter pattern as "127\.0\.0\.1" instead of "".
Getting Started
Before you begin, you may want to have a copy of your web log file accessible so you can determine exactly how to construct the filter. Why is this important? During report processing, when Urchin invokes the filter you've added, it will attempt to make an exact match between your filter pattern and content found in the log file. So, knowing exactly how the content is displayed in the log file is essential when building the filter.
If you do not have direct access to the log file, you may be able to gather similar information by reviewing content in the report without any filter added. For example, the Pages and Referrals reports often contain enough detailed information to build filters from. However, some information is still not available such as query strings resulting from dynamically generated web pages. That information is available only from the log file.
NOTE: Once the filter is applied, it will only affect the reports processed "after" it is added. Any existing data will not be affected by the filter. Applying a filter to existing reports requires clearing that data and reprocessing the log files.
There are 3 primary components to an Urchin filter.
 1. Filter Type: This determines whether Urchin is to include or exclude specific data from the report, and in some cases (Dynamic URL) how the information will be displayed in the report. If you select "Include Pattern" Urchin will ONLY include log file entries that contain the pattern or patterns you tell it to include in the report.
 2. Filter Field: Determines which field in the log file Urchin should apply the filter to. If you are unsure which field to select, review section below titled "Filter Field Definitions by Log Format Type."
 3. Filter Pattern: Contains the string of characters Urchin will try and match from the log file during processing. Filter patterns applied to the URI-Stem(W3C) or Request(NCSA) field should be written exactly as they appear in the log file. Or, you may truncate the pattern in some cases. All other patterns are subject to POSIX regular expression rules. That means that certain characters will be interpreted differently than they appear. For example a dot "." means "match any single character." A full list of these expressions can be found at the bottom of this article.

|HIFU For Prostate Cancer|
What is HIFU?
HIFU, which is short for high intensity focused ultrasound, is a state-of-the-art technology that utilizes ultrasound energy to destroy targeted tissueÂ during a procedure that is customized for each patientâ€™s prostate cancer treatment. When HIFU energy is delivered
to a specific location within the body, the tissue temperature at that site, or focal point, is elevated to nearly 195 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter of seconds, resulting in tissue destruction, while the tissue outside the focal point remains unharmed.Â
In order to understand the basic concept of how HIFU works an analogy can be drawn between HIFU ablating the prostate and sunrays entering a magnifying glass to burn a leaf. When a magnifying glass is held above a leaf in the correct position on a sunny day the sunrays intersect below the lens and cause the leaf to burn at the point of intersection.
In most cases, Sonablate HIFU is a 2-4 hour, one-time procedure performed on an out-patient basis under spinal anesthesia. Unlike radiation, HIFU uses clean, or non-ionizing, energy so the procedure may be repeated if necessary.
The Basic Concept of HIFU
If you insert your hand into the path of eitherÂ oneÂ of the sun rays individually, away from the point of intersection, there is no significant heat felt or harm caused. Alternatively, if you place your hand at the pointÂ ofÂ intersection you will be burned.Â
TheÂ scientific principles at work in this example are the same as those with HIFU.Â Instead of light as the energy source, HIFU utilizes sound. Instead of a magnifying glass HIFU uses a transducer.Â Just as theÂ individual sunray does not super heat the hand, theÂ individual sound wave does not super heat the tissue it travels through.

Did you know that this tool owned by almost every household has been patented no less than 300 times? There are thousands of models of corkscrews, making it a great collector's item!
The history of the corkscrew
As you certainly know, wine has been around for thousands of years. It is mentioned in writings dating back to antiquity among others. On the other hand, the containers have evolved a lot over time. The history of the corkscrew is by definition linked to the cork and the bottle.
The bottle was a great advance in the history of wine because it allowed it to age safely and made it much easier to be moved around.
In order to close the bottles, the first used process is a system of wooden dowels stuffed with oil soaked oakum, all sealed with wax. This cork could be removed by a fixed cord, but it had some weaknesses. This system was replaced by the famous cork that we know today and which led to the need of the corkscrew.
The first written reference on the corkscrew dates back from 1681 and it is compared to a steel worm. However, it was not until 100 years later that the first patent for the corkscrew was filed by the Reverend Samuel Henshall, an Englishman in 1795.
Various ingenious systems to remove corks
The first principle used to remove corks is the principle of the inserted wick. According to various sources, the corkscrew was inspired by the tool used to remove cannons or to remove unspent charges from a musket's barrel. Based on this assumption, it is likely that the first corkscrews were made by gunsmiths.
Very quickly, the shank of the corkscrew was shaped into a pig tail which allowed to have more support within the cork. Over the years, the device was enhanced providing various methods to uncork the bottles.
The T-shaped corkscrew, probably the oldest of the systems we know. The corkscrew is pulled after having pushed the worm into the cork.
The "Walker Bell", one of the first American corkscrews that pushes the bottle downwards while holding the cork in place and pulling it out.
The sommelier knife, also called "waiter's friend is a corkscrew in a folding body similar to a pocket knife. It was conceived by the German inventor Karl F.A. Wienke in 1882.
The winged corkscrew, also known as the "Charles de Gaulle" corkscrew, which was patented by Mr Heely in 1888.
In 1979; Herbert Allen patented the "Screwpull" corkscrew. The original corkscrew is part of the first MoMa's collection in New-York! And among the modern corkscrews, the electric corkscrew which uncorks bottles with a simple click and the latest born, the Coravin which uses a syringe and inert gas.
Collector's corkscrews
The corkscrew collector or helixophile can collect corkscrews in many different ways: by model, by brand, by period… Here is a small selection of the many beautiful corkscrews you can find on Delcampe.

This work forms part of a collection of 57 paintings donated by the Trustees of Sir Denis MahonÂ's Charitable Trust through the Art Fund to 6 museums in the UK.
Sir Denis Mahon was one of the most distinguished art historians and collectors of the 20th century, and a determined campaigner on behalf of museums into his 90s. Mahon formed his collection over several decades, progressively demonstrating the range, significance and quality of the Italian baroque despite its comparative neglect by previous scholars. His passion and erudition Â– and the sheer quality of the works he brought together Â– changed hearts and minds and had a discernible impact on its very status in the history of European art.

The Role of Functional Metrics in B2B E-Commerce Project Success
- B2B E-Commerce Primer
- Overall Function Point Counting and Estimation Methodology
- Benefits of Function Point Counting and Estimation
- Extensions to IFPUG CPM 4.1
- The Function Point Counting and Estimation Repository
- The Function Point Counting and Estimation Team-based Process
- Function Point Estimation Worksheet Example Segment
- Other Applications
- Internal Challenges at eSell
- Summary and Conclusions
- Final Questions to Ponder
In the winter of 1999, how was a young high-tech Internet startup, with version 1.0 of a new B2B application software product, able to gain enough credibility in the marketplace to attractand do business withits targeted Fortune 1000 customers?
The answer was threefold. First of all, the business functionality delivered in version 1.0 had demonstrated demand in the marketplace (which is discussed in the next section). This at least opened the doors to interested parties. Second, the client's trust was won by leveraging impeccable early references created by using an implementation methodology worthy of corporations that were orders of magnitude larger. Last, eSell Inc.1 deployed only very senior and skilled professionals on all its implementations.
This paper describes the methods and techniques developed by eSell Inc., especially as they pertain to the adaptation and adoption of functional metrics in their project-implementation processes.
We start off with a brief description of how functional metrics have been incorporated into the typical project launch process, with an overview of the major benefits accrued. With success as a backdrop, we describe the atomic parts of the overall program:
Adaptation of the counting techniques
Creation of an Excel worksheet to support the counting and estimation process
A project repository used to calibrate the actual estimates of time, effort, and cost
The team-based process used to collect and verify project data
We then follow this discussion with examples of how functional metrics are used to support other aspects of the project, including:
Initial sale of the product and project
Last, we summarize our findings and experiences and pose a final question concerning the importance of key personnel in sustaining an effective metrics program.

How to Measure a Resting Respiratory Rate in a Dog
In this video, you will learn how to count your pet's resting respiratory rate (RRR). A normal dog's respiratory rate when resting or sleeping is quite low, less than 35 breaths in a minute. The RRR may increase when heart failure develops or with other breathing problems. You can provide useful information for your veterinarian by keeping a RRR diary and bringing it to your next appointment.

The reason why is Data Recovery so High priced?
Data recovery involves recovering data from media that may stop being performing properly. There could possibly be a problem with the hard drive or even any other portion of the storage media. It would be great if we could decipher the design of the issue ourselves with the assistance of a naked eye.
However, the eyes of ours and the technological knowledge of ours have a set of limitations. Data recovery is an incredibly specialized field which can cater to most of the data loss issues. Data loss is able to occur in mysterious and strange means and every data loss incident is able to be distinct from each other. As a result of these variations, the price tag of data recovery is often heavy or light on the pocket of yours. Data recovery, generally speaking, can be a pricey operation.
It may cost you a few 100 pounds to just get the nature of data loss incident examined. This evaluation will simply give you an idea around the list of documents that the data recovery business can recover. Furthermore, this evaluation cost may well not be included in the true cost of data recovery. Therefore, what makes data recovery so costly? To put it simply, data recovery is pricey because it's a difficult process and not many businesses are specialized in this specific field. Though there's odzyskiwanie danych Kraków of organizations that provide data recovery services, the reputed companies are able to of highly effective data recovery. Nonetheless, you can find several factors which contribute towards the expense of a data recovery company, which consequently make the data recovery system an expensive solution. Let us analyse the assorted elements that create data recovery an expensive option.
Factors that Influence the Cost of Services of a Data Recovery Company
Data recovery companies are able to lessen on your business's downtime by giving a fast turnaround time. Most businesses will be in a position to recover your data within the range of twenty four to 72 hours. Imagine the valuable time that could well be wasted whether you make an effort to recover the data on your own. Since complex procedures need to become done within a very short period of time, the fees associated with the solutions are high.
You will find times when folks use DIY software or their own expertise to recover their lost knowledge. In such instances, there's a significant likelihood of losing your data forever. Today, data means information, and info holds the power to make or break a small business. A data recovery company ensures that the data of yours is recovered in the best manner and enables you to recover all or significant portion of your information.
A data recovery business hires experienced workers and utilizes efficient tools to recuperate the data of yours. These seasoned employees include a sound educational background as well as good industry experience. The design of the work of these professionals is usually extremely complicated. Data recovery specialists need to assess and assess the design of the data loss. Their skills are incredibly good at replacing or perhaps repairing fragile components. Therefore, the data recovery company needs to meet the salary of theirs with the experience of theirs. In addition, most data recovery companies use proprietary tools to recover the damaged data. These tools can be very costly.
There are a few overhead costs included for a data recovery business. There are occasions when hard disk parts will need to be replaced. Nevertheless, replacing these parts is extremely tough because the hard disk makers don't sell these parts. Therefore, only a hard disk of the exact same batch and model can be used to make sure that the data can be read off the disk platters in a suitable way. A hard disk that has the same style but is of different batch is going to have different set of parts inside. Therefore, to avoid wasting time in looking for hard disk items, the data recovery organizations usually continue a stock of hard disk components. Towards overhead costs is contributed by these stocks.
Hard disks are prone and fragile extremely to any kind of dust, air, or environmental contamination. Thus, a data recovery company must invest in clean room facilities to ensure that the cold hard disks are controlled in an appropriate environment. Maintaining and establishing these clean storage facilities can be pretty expensive. Thus, the data recovery organizations are likely to charge more for their services.
Since the design of labor of a data recovery specialist is rather technical, the data recovery organizations tend to have extensive training to the employees of theirs to ensure that the data and the media are handled appropriately and the success rate is maximised. Each data recovery company is likely to develop their very own trainings in this discipline because not much instruction can be bought through colleges or even schools. Companies often spend considerable amounts on coming up with their own personal training procedures. These prices are reflected in their cost of services.

Established in 1667 by Margrave Frederick (later to
become King Frederick I), the Orden Pour le Mérite was originally known as the Brandenburg Ordre de la Génerosité (Order of Generosity). Reorganized by Frederick II in 1740, it
became the Orden Pour le Mérite (Order of Merit) and was awarded to military personnel and
civilians. The Order was again reorganized in 1810 by Frederick William III who reserved it solely for
individual military achievement on the battlefield against the enemy. After the Prussian army occupied
Paris in 1814, a total of 1,662 Pour le Mérites were awarded. Of those, 1,470 Pour le
Mérites were awarded to Russians. In 1842, Frederick William IV added a civil class for scholars,
painters, sculptors, and musicians. Following the armistice of 1918, the Orden Pour le Mérite was never again awarded for military service.
During World War I, Prussia's highest military award, the Orden Pour le Mérite, was awarded to officers for repeated and continual gallantry
in action. It was never awarded posthumously and recipients were required to wear the medal whenever they were in uniform.
Of all officers in the German army and navy, the most
frequent recipients of the Orden Pour le Mérite were junior officers in the German Air Force.
During World War I, it was awarded to 81 German military aviators: 76 army aviators and 5 naval
aviators. Of that total, 78 of the recipients were officers who held the rank of Captain or below.

stands for 300. Scit B. trecentum sibi cogntum retinre. And, again, Et B. trecentum per se retinere videtur. But with a line above, it denotes 3,000.
For Becarre and Bemol (French for B sharp and B flat), see BECARRE.
Marked with a B (French), i.e. a poor thing. In the French language almost all personal defects begin with the letter B; e.g. bigle (squint-eyed), borgne (one-eyed), bossu (humpty), boiteux (lame), etc.
Not to know B from a battledoor. To be quite illiterate, not to know even his letters. Miege tells us that hornbooks used to be called battledoors. The phrase might therefore originally mean not to know the B of, from, or out of, your hornbook. But its more general meaning is not able to distinguish one letter from another.
He knoweth not a B from a battledoore.Howell; English Proverbs.
Distinguish a B from a battledore.Dekker: Guls Hornebook.
I know B from a Bulls foot. Similar to the proverb, I know a hawk from a hernshaw. (See HAWK.) The bulls parted hoof somewhat resembles a B.
There were members who scarcely knew B from a bulls foot.Brackenbridge: Modern Chivalry.


Wrong number of arguments (Error 450)
The number of arguments to a procedure must match the number of parameters in the procedure's definition. This error has the following causes and solutions:
 - The number of arguments in the call to the procedure wasn't the same as the number of required arguments expected by the procedure.
 Check the argument list in the call against the procedure declaration or definition.
 - You specified an index for a control that isn't part of a control array.
 The index specification is interpreted as an argument but neither an index nor an argument is expected, so the error occurs. Remove the index specification, or follow the procedure for creating a control array. Set the Index property to a nonzero value in the control's property sheet or property window at design time.
 - You tried to assign a value to a read-only property, or you tried to assign a value to a property for which no Property Let procedure exists.
 Assigning a value to a property is the same as passing the value as an argument to the object's Property Let procedure. Properly define the Property Let procedure; it must have one more argument than the corresponding Property Get procedure. If the property is meant to be read-only, you can't assign a value to it.

The key principles of higher education are significant to your learning at GSA. Whatever course you are on, as you develop your practice you will also need to demonstrate your learning of the scholarly attributes of research and critical thinking.
You will produce work in the studio using these attributes and alongside the work you produce in the studio, you will present documentation of your research: the inspiration and ideas behind your work, the resources for these, and the process of their formation.
You will also demonstrate your critical faculties by evaluating and analysing your own and others' work. Your degree at GSA may also involve doing research into the history and theory of art, design and architecture, and communicating that research in formal assignments. All of this will take place through working with others: your tutors and your peer-group of students.
Rather than approaching these scholarly aspects of learning at GSA as hurdles to be jumped over, they may be seen as intertwined with developing your practice as a designer, architect or artist. They will provide a structural basis for your creative ideas, and enable you to take these ideas further, and communicate them to others.
Both art and scholarship are about making, and skills learnt through artistic practice will come in useful in academic work, and the skills learnt through scholarship will enrich your artistic practice.
