![]() ![]() While I think this is a fun and interactive app, I can see the benefit of taking this practice daily in addition to some other language learning practices. You can definitely learn a thing or two, as they provide you with new words, phrases, translations, and pronunciations for you to know. I feel this is a little misleading and may cause some insecurities in English language learners.Įlsa Speak gives you “daily challenges” based on your learning needs and the time you have each day. My pronunciation is quite clear, but it isn’t an American-English accent. It’s a little weird being told I sound 88% like a native speaker when I am a fluent English speaker. Despite being a native English speaker (and English language tutor!), I could only score about 70-80% in the speech grader tool for conversation practice most of the time. While testing out the app, I did notice a few flaws. There is also a Whatsapp group and forum you can message to keep up with the learning community. While clear pronunciation is the aim of the game, it also incorporates listening and speaking practice.
![]() Some examples would be having a unit with a 70% chance to dodge on a specific type of terrain, and then have them get hit by everything. Keep that in mind and you'll have more fun. Which I can understand, but that's just RNG for you. Most people will only remember the bad luck and rage about it. Over a long period, the luck tends to balance out, but on some occassions you'll experience brief streaks of extreme bad or good luck. If you jump in without understanding the mechanics, you could possibly get frustrated. ![]() Once you learn the mechanics, everything tends to make sense and it's quite enjoyable. The game rules are pretty simple, but not all of them are obvious, so you have to poke around a little. Some matches are a lot longer than others, you just have to find out which map types and game modes align with the amount of time you want to spend in a match. The game isn't perfect, and you'll get the occassional error message during multiplayer, but it usually isn't gamebreaking. The day/night cycle is nice and the variety of maps and game modes keeps things fresh (Although I usually just do Isar's Cross). I enjoy the variety of units and the races. Never done single player, just multiplayer. I've played it off and on more than a few times. The only thing you'll lose is a few hours if you don't like it right? I recommend the standalone you can get off their site since no strings attached and all that. Toss in some good factions with strengths/weaknesses, decent campaigns that range from easy to know your wesnoth or die hard, a TON of add-ons/mods/whateveryouwannacallits, it's got some hefty life in it.īesides that it's completely free. It's not darkest dungeon levels BS about that though where everything is literally stacked against you though, just sometimes dice gods want to laugh at your suffering. When the targets in the 40% range or lower. Attacks are done off RNG but you can seriously stack them in your favor with good positioning and knowledge of battle mechanics.Ībout the only thing is the instability but that normally crops up after hours of extended play on my rig, and the sometimes comical nature of RNG making you pull your hair out when it decides your 80% hit rate needs to whiff on that 20% miss chance and you get wailed on in return. ![]() You can also challenge up to 8 friends - or strangers - and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.Solid if you can enjoy a turn based strategy game of decent depth and unit progressions in the longer matches/campaigns. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and limited only by your creativity - make your own custom units, compose your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. ![]() ![]() get revenge on the orcs by utilising the foul art or necromancy.Ģ00+ unit types. guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home. vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage. lead a brutal quest to unite the orcish tribes. step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir. Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition. Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. ![]() ![]() ![]() A parking study was completed to gain an accurate understanding of ADA parking inventory, align resources to barrier-free paths and develop future programming for the Mobility Ride program. New this year was the launch of the Commute Concierge program, where the Vanderbilt community can contact a commute specialist to help plan sustainable commute alternatives, group excursions and parking options. Campus Dining also completed planning for a reusable container program - Fill it Forward - which launched in fall 2022 and provides students with a free reusable container that can be used in all residential halls and returned for cleaning.Īdditionally, Vanderbilt continued to make significant progress on MoveVU, the strategic transportation and mobility plan that falls under larger FutureVU planning efforts. Since the “No More Plastic” campaign began in 2019, plastic equivalent to more than 430,000 bottles has been saved. ![]() Vanderbilt continued to make significant efforts in reducing the campus’s overall environmental impact by eliminating single-use plastic bottles in all athletics venues across campus this is the latest step taken in a series of waste-reduction initiatives. In line with FY2021 efforts, sustainability was a key focus, with a big emphasis on Campus Dining initiatives. That framework gives direction to campus projects and considers core themes such as community enhancement, connectivity, inclusion, accessibility and sustainability. FutureVU is a high-level, holistic framework for the development of campus’s built and exterior environments. Vanderbilt University made significant progress toward its FutureVU goals in fiscal year 2022, as outlined in the annual progress report. ![]() ![]() The slack is picked up by the heavily increased use of synthesizers and keyboards, courtesy of then-longtime unofficial member Geoff Nicholls. This is alright for me, as the music doesn't really call for super active bass lines as it did in the older, significantly more stripped down material from the band. Nods to classic Sabbath exist here, such as the title track's heavy resemblance to the "Heaven and Hell" from the eponymous album, the chorus riff of closer "Nightwing" still retaining that doomy, proto-stoner feel to it from old Sabbath, and the song "Black Moon Rising" practically being a classic-style Sabbath song, but for the most part this is a new sound performed with the passion of a group that's trying as hard as they can to make a great record.īass here, while prominent, isn't as much a driving factor to the music as it was on the older material. Some songs are more active than others, with special mention going to the catchy as all hell swing of "Devil and Daughter" and "Black Moon Rising". The music here, as a rule, is driven primarily by the vocals, with the rest of the music serving as the backdrop for Martin's voice to sail above it. What we've got instead is an album that strives to be as grandiose as it possibly can be, what with Martin's impassioned, powerful wailing soaring over Tony Iommi's guitar work which, while still being very clearly Tony Iommi, takes a more epic, rocking turn. When you think of Black Sabbath, generally what comes to minds of most are stripped down production values, Iommi's proto-doom riffing style, heavy, thumping bass lines, and Ozzy's signature crooning, right? Well throw all that out the window, because Headless Cross is, for the most part, the opposite of the classic Sabbath sound. With Martin at the forefront, the band would release a string of criminally underrated albums, none moreso than 1989's Headless Cross, an album that combines the majesty of Ronnie Dio's albums with the evil, black magic overtures of Ozzy's albums, dumps a big fat pile of "80s" on it, and gives us an absolutely magnificent album in the process. ![]() Amid the bedlam of lineup changes in the lead up to 1987's The Eternal Idol, Iommi enlisted the services of Tony Martin, who would go on to be the longest running singer in the band's history aside from Ozzy Osbourne. ![]() For a number of reasons (the negative critical reaction to Born Again, the bumping up of Tony Iommi solo record Seventh Star to Sabbath album and its subsequent tour falling to pieces, the constantly rotating lineup from the points Bill Ward and Geezer Butler quit in 19 respectively up through the first original lineup reunion, among others), for nearly 15 years the band was critically and commercially ignored save 1992's Dehumanizer, which featured fan favorite vocalist Ronnie James Dio fronting the classic Mob Rules lineup, which later went on to form Heaven and Hell in the mid-2000s. ![]() Simply astonishing.īlack Sabbath past 1983 is not a topic you generally see brought up in discussions about the band and their 40+ year history. ![]() ![]() ![]() as well as manual, semiautomated, and fully automated segmentation tools. When combining the FA values of efferent 1 with disease duration, the present DTI tractography analysis could be useful for differentiating MSA-C and CCA patients. Features: MedINRIA provides a GUI environment for diffusion imaging analysis. It is the successor to the programs DTI Track and. It provides an easy to use interface to a number of visualization and analysis algorithms. MedINRIA is a modular visualization and analysis program specializing in neuro imaging and particularly diffusion tensor (DT) MRI analysis. The present DTI tractography newly showed that the FA values of two afferent fiber tracts showed significant declines in MSA-C patients, and afferent 1 showed good diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Advanced image visualization and analysis for Windows/Mac/Linux. ![]() Fiber tractographywas performed using MedINRIA 2,which includes arobust tensorestimation. Linear regressions showed strong correlations between FA value and disease duration in CCA patients (efferent 1, r = -0.466 afferent 2, r = -0.543 both p<0.05), and between the FA value and the ratio of the standardized scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA)/disease duration in MSA-C patients (afferent 1, r = -0.407 p<0.01). Inthispaper,we set these parameters manually, whereas they. Receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis showed 85.7 % sensitivity and 75.0 % specificity of FA values in afferent 1 (cutoff value 0.476). Manual placement of markers on ana- tomical landmarks allows transformation of anatomical. Compared with CCA, MSA-C patients showed significant declines of fractional anisotropy (FA) values of afferent 1 and 2 (p<0.01, respectively) and a significant increase of the radial diffusivity (RD) value in afferent 1 (p<0.05). medInria is a multi-platform medical image processing and visualization software. ![]() Forty-one MSA-C patients (62.7 ± 8.1 years old, mean ± SD) and age- and gender-matched 15 CCA patients (63.0 ± 8.6 years old) were examined.Tractography was performed using the DTI track module provided in the MedINRIA version 1.9.4, and regions of interest were drawn manually to reconstruct an efferent fiber tract and two afferent fiber tracts via the cerebellum. The objective of this study is to determine whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography analysis is a potential method for differentiating cerebellar ataxia patients with multiple system atrophy with predominant cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C) and cortical cerebellar atrophy (CCA). MedINRIA is a free collection of softwares developed within the Asclepios research project. ![]() ![]() ![]() I need to touch him so I push back, away from the door. I reach up, my hands finding his, our fingers intertwining. He brushes his lips over my cheek and then down the side of my neck. He steps closer, his body pressed against mine. "I noticed." I say, and then we both sort of laugh. "I've been wanting to kiss you all weekend." He says softly and my eyes go to his mouth. I bump up against the door almost immediately, and he rests his hands by the sides of my head, blocking me in. He's just so tall and sort of imposing, and he's staring at me like I'm made out of something delicious. Tom steps toward me, and then I step back, almost without thinking. He has a big bed, which is neatly made and covered in a dark blue feather comforter. He has a lamp on, but it's not much more than a golden glow from the far end of the room. He stares at me for a moment and then pulls me inside his room. Tom is standing there, the door open just enough to see his face. I knock softly and the door opens immediately. If I was a character in a holiday movie, my name would be Slutty Christmas. The door is closed, but I can see a bit of light coming from underneath it. I make it up the stairs to the top floor without running into anyone, and then down the opposite side of the hall toward Tom's room. Hiddleston, I am sneaking off to go defile your son. On the main floor, I can hear Mrs Hiddleston and the ladies laughing and carrying on during their card game. Tom isn't in the hallway, so I make my way softly through the corridor, back up the stairs. I count to ten and then slip off the couch, and out the door behind me. I take a deep breath, squeezing the muscles in my thighs together. He gets up then and disappears from the room so quickly that I'm not even sure he was there at all. Good night, Gracie." He presses his thumb into the tender spot on the arch of my foot and a strange mixture of pleasure rolls up my leg. My mind stutters, like a record skipping. "I'm going to bed soon." He says so softly, I'm not sure if I hear right at first. He's watching me, and it makes me feel nervous and alive. My hand rises to my mouth, and I run a finger over my bottom lip. "You've got a point." He tilts his head to the side. ![]() ![]() He moves his hand, running his thumb down and over the arch of my foot. He smiles softly and then looks back at me. ![]() She'll have lots of fun cursing your name." I grin. "I wasn't trying to ruin her Christmas." He says, glancing back at the movie. I don't know that he even realizes he's doing it. Tom's hand is still on my ankle, and he rubs his thumb slowly back and forth across my anklebone. Tom nods, imperceptibly at first, but then he turns his head and looks at me. "Are you all right?" I whisper, sitting up a bit. Tom's aunt and uncle are thoroughly engrossed in the movie, as are Emily and Mark. I'm not sure anyone else even noticed Tom has come in. Every time I breathe, I feel as if the whole world knows it. I was almost asleep a moment ago but now I am fully awake. He's got on hand resting on my ankle under the blanket. I settle back onto the couch, far too aware of the warmth of his legs against mine. I lean down, throwing a bit of the blanket toward him, and he arranges it over my feet and his legs, without looking away from the movie.
