![]() ![]() This entry begins with an introduction to integration in mixed methods research. These features will be reflected in the depth and/or breadth of conclusions drawn and in the way in which evidence for those conclusions is presented. Mixed methods research is therefore distinguished by (a) use of more than one approach to data collection and/or analysis and (b) the manner in which those approaches are combined to produce a cohesive, enhanced whole. Mixed methods research is an approach in which the researcher purposefully integrates varied types of data (usually including both numbers and text) and/or varied approaches to analysis of data so that they become interdependent in achieving a common theoretical or research outcome-an outcome that might not have been achievable using a single qualitative or quantitative approach (Bazeley, 2010, 2018).

![]() ![]() ![]() She initially lost even more weight than the program called for - a good thing, she says, because she was a bit overweight after her first pregnancy. The loss put her in better shape for a second pregnancy (during which she took a break from the study). Tamarra Crawford, 37, a psychologist from Sheridan, Wyoming, was among those who tried large changes. One, dubbed “small changes,” asks people - regardless of their starting weight - to shave 100 calories off their diets and burn an extra 100 calories through activity each day. ![]() These are the people who end up having high blood pressure and diabetes and having the most heart attacks and strokes.”īut there might be some fairly simple things people can do to prevent all that. In an ongoing study of nearly 500 normal-weight and overweight (but not obese) people enrolled at ages 18 to 35, Tate and Wing are testing two promising strategies. “Those who gain the most rapidly end up being the most obese, with all the associated pathologies. “The rate at which you gain weight in the period between 18 and 40 is the major determinant of obesity,” says David Levitsky, a professor of nutrition at Cornell University. Stopping or slowing those gradual gains might be the best hope for controlling the obesity epidemic, Tate, Wing and other researchers say. The result, Tate says, is a daily “energy gap” - the difference between calories burned and calories consumed - that slowly adds up. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Smultron's GN Beam Rifle can be changed into the small GN Submachine Gun by removing the rifle's long barrel, GN Condenser, sensor, etc. At the same time, aiming of the rifle and adjustment of its GN Particle compression rate are all controlled through Quantum Brainwaves, making the weapon specifically designed for the Smultron. Like the normal Ahead's GN Beam Rifle, the Smultron's GN Beam Rifle is a beam firearm that utilizes GN Particles, but it is larger and developed with the goal of becoming the next generation standard equipment, featuring enhancements such as improved adjustability of its GN Particle compression rate. Its data was later utilized alongside other Ahead variants, such as the GNX-704T/AC Ahead Sakigake, in the development of the next generation Ahead unit, the GNX-Y802T Neo-Hed. Besides being a custom Ahead variant, the Smultron also served as one of the test machines made for the further evolution of the Ahead. Additionally, it seems the mobile suit’s developers chose this name as a related Swedish word, "Smultronställe", carries the meaning of "ideal place", reflecting their wishes for the machine. ![]() It should also be noted that "Smultron" means "wild berry" or "wild strawberry" in Swedish, and this fruit-based name follows that of the Tieren Taozi, with "Taozi" meaning "peach" in Chinese. ĭevelopment of the Smultron utilized data from an earlier Super Soldier-use mobile suit, the MSJ-06II-SP Tieren Taozi. However, the GN Beam Rifle and its GN Submachine Gun form, as well as the GN Shield, are all specifically designed for Smultron's use. The Smultron's armaments are similar to the standard Ahead's, consisting of a GN Beam Rifle that can be converted into a GN Submachine Gun, GN Beam Sabers, GN Vulcans and a GN Shield. Additionally, large thrusters are added to both shoulders to further boost the Smultron's mobility. The turning of the backpack to either sides also facilitates the charging of the GN Drive Tau. This backpack can rotate 360 degrees around the cone of the mobile suit's GN Drive Tau, as well as turn 90 degrees to the left and right sides. To improve the Smultron's turning performance and mobility, it is fitted with a large, uniquely shaped, thruster-equipped backpack. Since the use of Quantum Brainwaves enabled control of the mobile suit via thoughts, which are faster than reflexes, the Smultron is designed as a high mobility unit to capitalize on this characteristic. Louise Halevy is able to pilot the machine as she has weak Quantum Brainwaves due to a side effect of her medication. As seen from its official name, the Smultron is meant for pilots who can use Quantum Brainwaves, such as the Super Soldier Soma Peries, and it incorporated a control system whereby Quantum Brainwaves can be used to partially operate the mobile suit as well as its equipment. One of the custom machines developed from the GNX-704T Ahead, its official name is "Ahead Quantum Brainwave Type", but it is more commonly known by its development codename of "Smultron". ![]() ![]() bash_profile exists in your home directory, edit that file. For development versions, substitute /usr/local/graphviz-devel for /usr/local/graphviz below. For stable Graphviz versions, you'll need to have made a symlink as described earlier. Open the Terminal and type echo $SHELL and follow the correct set of instructions depending on the result. ![]() Instructions on how to do that vary depending on what shell you use. That's easy to arrange by modifying your PATH environment variable. You must be an administrator of your computer to do this, and you will be prompted for your password. To create this symlink, do this (substituting whatever version of Graphviz you're actually installing where I put 2.12): You may want to create a symlink at /usr/local/graphviz pointing at the most recent stable version of Graphviz you installed, so that you can run dot more simply as /usr/local/graphviz/bin/dot. How can I avoid having to use the version number in the path? If you encounter any problems with a Graphviz.app patched in this way, you should probably contact me, and not Glen at Pixelglow we shouldn't bother him about patched versions of his software that he's never seen before. You can freely move or rename your Graphviz.app, but note that it will not function if you later uninstall my Graphviz package, or if you copy this Graphviz.app to a machine on which my Graphviz package is not installed. This will permanently modify your copy of Graphviz.app to use my updated version of Graphviz. fix-graphviz-app "/Applications/Graphviz.app" Drag Pixelglow's Graphviz.app to /Applications, and then open the Terminal and run this (using graphviz-devel instead of graphviz-2.12 depending on which of my packages you installed): To do this, download and install one of my Graphviz packages, then download Graphviz from Pixelglow. However, you can patch it so that it makes use of a newer Graphviz from one of my packages. It uses its own built-in version of Graphviz, which is several years out-of-date. If you want a GUI for Graphviz, there is one that's provided by Pixelglow. (See above for where things do get installed.) My Graphviz packages do not include a GUI, so there's nothing to install in the Applications folder. Why isn't there a Graphviz.app in my Applications folder? Is there a Graphviz GUI? If you don't like having to type the path at all, you can update your PATH environment variable.ĭevelopment versions (odd-numbered versions) since 0307 get installed in /usr/local/graphviz-devel. If you don't like the version number in the path, you can make a symlink. For example, Graphviz 2.12 gets installed into /usr/local/graphviz-2.12, so you can run dot by running /usr/local/graphviz-2.12/bin/dot. Stable versions of Graphviz (even-numbered versions) get installed under /usr/local in a directory named for the version of Graphviz that's being installed. ![]()
![]() ![]() However, when you sit down with a budget and add up the cost of 30 Chipotle burritos each month (yeah, I said 30), those seemingly insignificant lunch bills add up to way too much spending. I mean, sure, buying one lunch out to eat at a time doesn’t feel like a big deal in the moment. From going out to eat, to taking trips to the mountains, without a budget it was hard to correlate our daily spending to our less than optimal financial situation. Before my wife and I started budgeting, we spent money like it wasn’t a big issue. Sure, you might have a general idea about how much money you can spend each month, but without hard, accurate numbers, it’s easy to lose control of your spending habits. ![]() Let’s be honest, when you operate your finances without a budget, you don’t really have anything holding you back from spending beyond your means. Budgeting Helps You Control Your Spending In fact, for the rest of this post, I am going to take a much deeper dive into the importance of budgeting, and why it is such a vital part of your financial well-being. Put simply, living on a budget is a fundamental component of proper financial management. Additionally, budgeting can help you make better financial decisions, prepare for emergencies, get out of debt, and stay focused on your long-term financial goals. In short, budgeting is important because it helps you control your spending, track your expenses, and save more money. But if you’ve never lived on a budget, or haven’t experienced the all the benefits that budgeting has to offer, it’s easy to wonder why it’s such a prominent aspect of personal finance. Add a reasonable amount to your expenses for these items.Budgeting is one of the most important financial habits you can adopt. Consider auto insurance, gasoline, utilities (for example, gas and electric, internet access, cable), phone, renter’s insurance, college tuition, clothes, haircuts, charity, a vacation, your daily cup of coffee, and maybe longer term savings to buy a home. Once you’ve chosen a car, add 6 percent for interest cost and divide it by 48 to estimate the monthly payment for a four year loan. Find the automotive section and find a new or used car you’d like to buy. Find a restaurant ad and deduct the cost of dinner for two plus a 20 percent tip. Remember to add in costs for non-food items, too, like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and laundry detergent.Įating Out. Estimate the amount of food you will need each week and then multiply the cost by four to estimate your monthly expense. Choose a place to live and record the monthly rent on your budget sheet. Then, create a budget of how much you might spend on the following, and subtract these costs from your income.Ī place to live. First, subtract 30 percent for taxes to determine your net monthly income. Using the hourly wage or yearly salary in one of the ads, determine how much you will earn each month. ![]() Then make a list of your knowledge and skills to determine if the job might be right for you. Read each job description carefully, noting the skills required for each position. These should be jobs for which you are qualified. Trying It OutĬhoose five “Help Wanted” listings from five different categories of the classified ads. In addition, computer software programs can be useful tools for developing and maintaining a budget, balancing your checkbook, and creating plans to save money. Your public library, bookstores, and online resources have information about budgeting and money management techniques. The goal is to make sure you can make ends meet on the basics: housing, food, health care, and insurance. You can use our budget worksheet to get started. Writing down all your expenses, even those that seem insignificant, is a helpful way to track your spending patterns, identify necessary expenses, and prioritize the rest. Next, list the expenses that vary - like entertainment, recreation, and clothing. Then, list your “fixed” expenses - those that are the same each month - like rent, car payments, and insurance premiums. Start by listing your income from all sources. The first step toward taking control of your financial life is to evaluate how much money you take in and how much money you spend.

This is not a reading guide it is a complete 28-week (400+-page) curriculum, including lessons, assignments, exams, lectures, and supplemental materials. In science, we dive into Biology, focusing on evolutionary biology. We’ll explore the constantly changing cauldron of history, literature, philosophy, and geography of these periods with an emphasis on amplifying voices that have been historically marginalized. Our YEAR 1 curriculum focuses on the European world through two key periods of major historical change: the Enlightenment and the Victorian empire. (So sorry about that!) Shipping may take up to six weeks please plan accordingly! We can only ship within the United States. This is a printed product that you will receive in the mail. (This is not a curriculum that asks you to track down a hundred different books!) Your curriculum includes evaluation information, class descriptions, and scheduling and credit recommendations. (For some people, these are the highlight of the curriculum.) You may need to procure books for some curricula, but 95% of the readings are included. You’ll also get access to lectures and videos for every subject, recorded by Amy specifically for each week of the curriculum. Just be aware that you might want to spend a week in the online orientation boot camp to get comfortable with the tools and structure of this curriculum, including our recommendations for annotations and how to use the philosophy toolkit.Įvery year comes with a master guide that walks you through weekly lessons. That said, chronology isn’t that important: You can jump right to year three if you’re passionate about anime or to year four if you can never get enough of the ancient Romans. All the subjects in this curriculum intersect and complement each other to form a meaningful whole. Language grows organically with our understanding of the world. ![]() Writing isn’t something you do only in writing class. History, literature, philosophy, and science don’t happen in a vacuum. (Finding the answers is less important than asking good questions, which is why our curriculum is named after the computer in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that can answer the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, but can’t quite figure out the question behind the answer.)īecause subjects overlap in meaningful ways, this curriculum is not available in individual units. This is a genuinely challenging program - you will probably work harder than you ever have! - but you will be rewarded with an education that well prepares you to ask the big questions. With those skills, they can learn anything they need to and tackle any task they’re faced with in the future, including college and career. Its indirect action on arousal, mood and concentration contributes in large part to its cognitive enhancing properties.This rigorous high school curriculum is built around the idea that, ultimately, students need to learn how to think, read, and write critically. In conclusion, it appears that caffeine cannot be considered a pure' cognitive enhancer. Caffeine has also been reported to prevent cognitive decline in healthy subjects but the results of the studies are heterogeneous, some finding no age-related effect while others reported effects only in one sex and mainly in the oldest population. ![]() The larger improvement of performance in fatigued subjects confirms that caffeine is a mild stimulant. At low doses, caffeine improves hedonic tone and reduces anxiety, while at high doses, there is an increase in tense arousal, including anxiety, nervousness, jitteriness. The ingestion of caffeine does not seem to affect long-term memory. Most studies, however, found improvements in reaction time. Caffeine facilitates performance in tasks involving working memory to a limited extent, but hinders performance in tasks that heavily depend on working memory, and caffeine appears to rather improve memory performance under suboptimal alertness conditions. ![]() Caffeine facilitates learning in tasks in which information is presented passively in tasks in which material is learned intentionally, caffeine has no effect. Caffeine does not usually affect performance in learning and memory tasks, although caffeine may occasionally have facilitatory or inhibitory effects on memory and learning. The effects of caffeine on cognition were reviewed based on the large body of literature available on the topic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hackers can use this backdoor to take control of your computer, copy data from your computer or to use your computer to distribute viruses and spam to other people.

Once the preview loads, make sure to select “Spherical” as the projection type, and then click “Merge” and select where you would like to save the new RAW image. Now select all of the images, right click, and select “Merge to Panorama.” It can take a couple of minutes to load the preview because the RAW files are so large. It is important to make sure you enable profile corrections so that the images stitch together smoothly. Edit one of them however you would like, then select all of the images and use Alt + S to synchronize those settings to the rest of the photos. ![]() ![]() To start stitching these photos together, open up your RAW photos in Camera Raw. You should have a group of photos that looks something like this: In post production, a lot of warping and distortion can happen if your photos aren’t evenly spaced out, and these apps will eliminate a lot of that distortion. These apps take a lot of the guesswork out of shooting, and provide really accurate results. These apps do this exact same process, but all you have to do is press a button and your drone takes it from there. If you would like to use an automated app, I recommend DronePan (free) or Litchi ($).Make sure that there is about 40-50% overlap in each photo, so that Photoshop has enough information to stitch them together. Do this again at about 60 degrees, then point the camera straight down and take one photo. Then tilt the camera down about 30 degrees, and repeat the same process. Repeat this until you have reached your starting point. To do this, take one photo, then rotate your camera about 45 degrees, and take another photo. If you are shooting manually, start by taking a regular panorama. Tip: Watch the red arrow in the bottom corner of your screen to know which direction your camera is pointed. From here you have two options: you can either shoot them manually or with an automated app such as DronePan or Litchi, depending on personal preference. I find that it works best when shot at about 100-200 feet, but these photos can really be taken at any height. When shooting, set your camera to manual mode and fly up to the desired height. There are many different programs and software that you can use that will do a lot of the work for you, but rather than download a bunch of new programs, I’m going to show you how to make and share them using only Photoshop and other free resources. Later, we will be able to step inside the sphere and look around. Imagine your drone is in the middle of a sphere, and you shoot images to cover the inside of the sphere. This process can seem tricky at first, but, with practice, can become fairly straightforward. Because most drones don’t have 360 degree cameras, I’m going to show you how to make a 360 degree image by stitching several photos together. And with interactive 360 degree panoramas, we can make viewers feel as though they are inside of the photo. Shooting, Stitching, and Sharing Interactive Panoramas Using Only Photoshop and Free Resourcesĭrones can capture stunning landscapes from a bird’s eye view, and panoramas are a great way to capture a vast landscape that cannot fit into a single photo. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since the Mac requires administrator privileges in order to make the new boot drive, you’ll be reminded that the admin user name and password will need to be entered (see below) and then a standard Mac login dialog appears. Once the blue button has been clicked, a lot happens very quickly. When you’re sure, click the “Erase then create the disk” button (see below): One last chance to cancel the erasure of the target boot drive This is your last chance to make sure that you really want to erase the disk and turn it into a bootable drive. Select the disk volume for your boot disk, then click “Choose this disk” As seen in the following screenshot, the drive “RAID1” was selected by clicking on its name, and then “Choose this disk” was clicked. Which disk will you use? A thumb drive, or a connected HDD or SSD?įor this example, we’re using a small RAID device so clicking “Another kind of disk” is appropriate. Note that if you’re using a 8GB (or larger) USB thumb drive, it will be completely erased. DiskMaker will erase any complete volume that you signify, so if you wish to make a disk that can install Yosemite, El Capitan, and Sierra, consider using Disk Utility (found in the Applications/Utilities folder) to partition the drive into three separate volumes, one for each operating system version. Next, DiskMaker X 6 asks for the type of disk you’ll be using for your bootable disk (see image below). The copy we are using is in the Applications folder, so click the highlighted (blue) button marked “Use this copy”. When the installer is on your Mac, DiskMaker X 6 displays a dialog asking which copy of the installer you want to use: DiskMaker finds the macOS Sierra installer If the “Download the macOS Sierra installer” step was bypassed, DiskMaker X 6 responds with an error message and quits, so make sure that you have the installer on your Mac. ![]() In this example, we’re making a macOS Sierra boot disk, so click the highlighted (blue) button. As you can see in the screenshot below, DiskMaker X 6 allows the creation of bootable disks for Mac OS X Yosemite, Mac OS X El Capitan, and of course macOS Sierra. Make sure that your drive is attached to your Mac and visible from the Finder, then launch DiskMaker X 6. If you plan to use the same drive to carry other utilities or tools, or to serve as a backup drive, you’ll need to do that after the bootable install drive is created. Note that whatever is on the drive when you create your bootable macOS Sierra Install Drive will be erased. Likewise, a fast 500GB OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro USB 3.0 drive ($94.99) is a lot speedier for installation, the same drive in a FireWire 800 version ($119.99) is handy with Macs that support that connection, and for the best possible speed while performing mass installations of macOS Sierra from the drive, you’ll want to look into something like this 1TB LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt drive ($179.99). USB thumb drives are adequate for the task this OWC 16.0GB Dual USB Flash Drive (see image above) is perfect, and it’s only $9.99.

A copy of the installer is downloaded and saved into the Applications folder. That’s OK - you can download it by launching the Mac App Store, locating and clicking on the link for macOS Sierra in the right sidebar, then clicking the “Download” button. But don’t double-click that app icon yet…Ĭhances are good that when macOS Sierra was installed on your Mac, the installer file disappeared. Within seconds, the app is installed and ready for launch. Installation is simple - just drag the DiskMaker X 6 icon to the Applications folder alias as shown on the installer screen. The disk image is mounted, and the following screen appears: DiskMaker X 6 Installer Screen To install DiskMaker X 6, find the installer disk image file - usually in the Downloads folder - and double-click it. Note that although DiskMaker X is free of charge, donations are accepted - you can help support a useful utility by sending the developers what you feel the app is worth.
