On the other hand, he utterly despises cowards and considers them unworthy of living, even when they are of use to Vearn. No matter which side they are in, Myst-Vearn always commends those with courage and determination, thus supporting Hadlar after he displayed renewed resolve and praising the allied force who opposed the demon armies. He has no uses of the weak Darklings such as Zaboera when he deserted him. He has strong pride as a high-ranked warrior of the Dark Army and hates being told that the might he is so proud of is not his own. Yet, he also harbours great respect and admiration for powerful fighters, mixed with a bit of envy stemming from his own inability to fight without a support. He also always finishes his enemies off, not bothering with surrenders. ![]() He is absolutely ruthless, being willing to use any mean to defeat his foes, although he prefers direct battles. Myst-Vearn is highly prideful and contemptuous towards creatures of the surface. Whenever he considers that someone has disrespected Vearn, expect Myst-Vearn to jump into action and take the offender's life. The only way to send him over the edge is to make him feel like he failed his liege. He is blindly devoted to Vearn, to the point that even when he disapproves what his liege decides, he puts his feelings aside without a shred of remorse. Myst-Vearn is cold, callous, imposing and threatening, only speaking when he absolutely must. ~ Myst revealing his hidden envious nature to the Heroes. While I can become strong simply by stealing the body of others, I cannot grow strong through my own efforts. As such, his cloak is a kind of container, inside which his Dark Aura expands, hiding his vessel in darkness. When covering his vessel with the hooded cloak called his "Dark Veil", he shrouds it with his Dark Aura and assumes his "regular" aspect. His possessed victims turn black and exude his Dark Aura, unless their living functions are halted as Vearn's young half, and a shadowy crest looking like horns appear on its forehead in fact Myst-Vearn's face. Myst is a wraith-like mass of Dark Aura (life-force stemming from Evil), who needs to possess others to sustain himself (ideally a vessel compatible with his dark powers). In English, he is voiced by Alex Zahara as Myst-Vearn. In Japanese, he was voiced by Keiichi Nanba in the 1991 anime as Myst-Vearn, Takehito Koyasu in the 2020 anime as Myst-Vearn, and Toshio Forukawa in the 2020 anime as Myst. He mostly remains silent and never lets anyone who saw his face live to tell the tale. Although he is first introduced as one of the six Commanders of the Dark Army under Hadlar, he is revealed to have always been Vearn's real right-hand man. ![]() He is the first, foremost and most devoted servant of Vearn. Myst-Vearn, originally called Myst, is the secondary villain in the Dragon Quest spin-off manga Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. ~ Myst elaborating his connection to Vearn to the Heroes. And King Vearn told me, "It was your destiny from birth to serve me." King Vearn needed my abilities. Thanks to this accursed body, I was able to meet King Vearn. ~ Myst-Vearn's absolute devotion to his liege. The Dark King's words take precedence above all.

Try sharing this video with them so they can see the area method in action and help their kids as needed. Sometimes parents say they’ve given up on so-called “new math.” It’s so different from the way they learned that they can’t even help their kids with their homework. Help parents understand how area model multiplication works The lower right corner will always match the number of blocks they’ve laid out. Help students see the connection between arrays and multiplication facts by laying arrays over the multiplication table itself. Visit the link for more array ideas from Miss Giraffe. We love the idea of using cereal to demonstrate arrays (and have a snack too). Multiplication arrays are the basis for the area model method. Here are some activities for introducing this method and using it at a variety of levels. Once students get the hang of area method multiplication, they can use it as a primary problem-solving method or a way to check their answers. Balcomb’s Class Area Model Multiplication Activities shared an example that shows that while the area model may seem overly-complicated for simple problems, it actually becomes an easier method (and one that avoids mistakes) for more complicated equations. On a WeAreTeachers HELPLINE discussion, Nico O. ![]() Yes, the area model looks very different from the math many of us did as children, but the mechanics are the same. The standard algorithm is often the most efficient way to solve a problem, but it often hides the reasoning of the math from students learning to do more complicated work at younger and younger ages. Methods like area models are developed with the purpose of gaining a lasting understanding of the mechanics of math rather than simply the answer to a quick math problem. Lauren of Leaf and STEM Learning puts it this way: And as the equations they solve become more complicated, the purpose behind area models becomes much more clear. More importantly, the area model method helps students understand how math works. When you give them more ways to approach a math problem, they’re more likely to succeed. Not all kids (or adults) think in the same way. Area model multiplication gives students another way to visualize a math equation, which is extremely valuable. Many people’s first thought on seeing the area model method laid out is, “Oh, that seems so complicated! Why can’t they just do it the old-fashioned way like I did growing up?” Turns out, there are some very good answers to that question.

Call Putman Plumbing if You Suspect a Blocked Sewer Vent or Any Other Plumbing Problems To prevent this problem from happening again, your trusted Middletown plumber can replace your vent pipe with a longer one so it’s less likely to become blocked. More water in the traps prevents that gas from entering. As water is pulled from the traps to replace existing water/air flow, it will allow sewer gases to enter the home. This helps because a blocked vent stack causes water to siphon from water traps in the drain line between each fixture and the main stack. An immediate way to prevent gases from entering your living space is to add water to basement floor drains, empty shower stalls and unused basement toilets. Of course the best solution is to clear snow away from the vent and melt any snow that has made its way into the vent, but that may not be possible right away during a snow like we’re expecting. You may even experience headache, nausea, dizziness and drowsiness due to these gases. Sewage Odors. If you smell rotten eggs coming from your drains and toilets, you’re probably smelling air escaping through the drains due to blocked sewer vents. Slow Drains. A single slow drain may just mean the drain or pipe is clogged, but if all of the drains in your home are slow and you’re also noticing the other issues we’re describing, blocked sewer vents are very possible. ![]() In some cases, gurgling noises indicate that there is no vent for that drain or fixture. This indicates that these two plumbing fixtures share a vent-and it is blocked. For example, if you flush a toilet, you may hear gurgling in the tub. If your sewer vent is blocked, you may even hear gurgling in drains other than the one you’re using. This happens because air that should be flowing up and out of the sewer vent has nowhere to escape but through the drains. You may even hear gurgling in your toilet after you flush. Gurgling in drains. You may hear gurgling or see water bubbling up and out of drains. ![]() Smelly, potentially dangerous gases can back up into your living space if the problem isn’t addressed quickly. ![]() After a really heavy snow, that vent can become blocked and prevent air pressure from regulating your system. Your sewer releases gases through a vent stack located on your roof. How can snow on the roof cause plumbing problems? It may be the first day of spring, but it clearly doesn’t feel like it in Frederick County! With up to 12 inches of snow expected in parts of Maryland, there’s a possibility that too much snow could settle on your roof and cause plumbing problems. ![]() The dashboard animation does show when it's loaded first on the page, but does not show the animation when I click from products to dashboard.

When the user clicks on the button with the it shows the animation. I'll use the example below to simplify my problem. ![]() Specifically, what I want it to do, is when a button is clicked, the page will show and a fade-up animation will show every time I switch between pages. The expected result is when the user click on a button, it will show a certain div with the page content, and it will show a fade up animation. additionalSafeAreaInsets since its not necessary at all!

That way the layout calculations for the animation get correct, and the correct safe area is set.īelow is the code for my custom UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate with the workaround. Since UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate.animationController(forDismissed.) is called right before UIViewController.viewWillDisappear and UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning.animateTransition(using transitionContext.), I start the dismiss animation already in that method. My current workaround is somewhat hacky, but it gets the job done. additionalSafeAreaInsets is ignored (since these insets modifies the safe area of the view controller's view). In short, it looks like the safe area is not updated after UIViewController.viewWillDisappear is called, and hence any changes to. ![]() The code for the custom UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate is provided below.Īfter some debugging I managed to find a workaround to this problem. ![]() But UIKit/Auto Layout use these properties when calculating the frames)Īny thoughts on how to battle this issue is great welcome! (I'm quoting "animates", since its actually the view's frame that is animated. So that the effective safe area starts at 0 and "animates" to the expected value during presentation, and starts at expected value and "animates" to 0 during dismissal. So, what I want is: use additionalSafeAreaInsets to diminish the effect of the safe area during animation, by setting additionalSafeAreaInsets to the "inverted" values of the safe area. The red box is the safe area (plus some padding) of the presented view - which I'm trying to compensate for during animation, using the additionalSafeAreaInsets property of the view controller owning the view.Īs the gif shows, the safe area is properly adjusted during presentation but not during dismissal. It looks like this property is not accounted for when I'm trying to animate the dismissal of the view controller and its view. And it works great! Except when I try to adjust the additionalSafeAreaInsets of the view controller owning the view during dismissal. Im doing this by creating UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning-objects that animate the presented view's frame. I've created a custom UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate that I use to animate a view from one view controller, to full-screen in another view controller. ![]() Our luggage was taken from us when we got off the bus and they assured us it would be in our room soon and it was! We registered pretty quickly in the preferred lounge and was offered two glasses of champagne while we registered. If you are going for the full package, ask for him.įrom the minute we arrived we felt at home. I was in the Preferred section this time and was assigned Juan. The most amazing part of this trip was my butler. And I found the service in all restaurants and bars to be polite and efficient. But I found the hotel, ground, rooms, and facilities to be well kept and clean. It's not really my thing so I can't do an in depth comparison of this resort to others. So if quiet is what you are looking for, you may not want to go to a preferred room. The Preferred (more expensive) rooms are less private. I stayed in both - once in October and then in January. These are preferred rooms - they cost extra. Then there are pools that are connected to the main pool. The wait staff will still attend you in these pools. There are some smaller more private swim up pools that are shared by 6 rooms and aren't connected to the big main pool. If you want a swim up room, check the layout of the resort. On a tour with a specific stop for snorkeling, I saw a grand total of 6 species of fish and a few pieces of coral. If you are looking for a good diving/snorkeling experience, go to another island. For those looking for shade on the beach, there is lots of chairs/palapas. The pools are clean and well maintained as is the beach. The fitness center is well equipped - cardio machines on the first floor and a weight room on the second. If you want to drink and party later than 11, there is a nightclub next door with golf cart shuttle service to get you there - although it's not a long walk. ![]() It's an adult only resort that guests of Dreams Onyx have complete access to. This resort has a sister resort next door called Breathless. There are plenty of places to get a drink as well - although most places on the resort close pretty early. If you like fries and burgers, the best place is on the beach at the barefoot grill or in the burger bar near the lobby. And I was able to get bacon there even though the buffet said there wasn't any. Since I was in a Preferred room, I often ate in the preferred restaurant that is part of the buffet. But it never appeared in the buffet for the remainder of the week. For example, on the first day, there was bacon in the buffet. On the following days, some of your favorite items might not be there. On the first day, the main buffet had tons of stations with lots of selection. I ate at most with my favorite being the French, although they were all pretty good. Even in high season, you don't need to reserve for most of the a la cartes. 6 a la carte (steakhouse, italian, mediterranean, french, asian and mexican). There are plenty of places to eat on the property. Not to mention the many swim up rooms on the property. There is one main pool with a swim up bar, a water park with another swim up bar, and a preferred pool area. This one with about 800 rooms seems just right. The check in process for wedding guest wasn't as seamless as it should be. I ended up at this resort because I was attending a wedding. Since I am a scuba diver, I wouldn't generally choose Dominican Republic as a destination. The rooms look nice in pictures but ours was very used and worn so that plus the AC not being very good is the reason I wouldn’t come back. Also a huge stain on one of the mirrors behind the glass. Shower grate was also not screwed to the floor and another part of the shower was broken. Not a big deal but maybe should have been done before check in. A cabinet was broken when we got to the room and our butler, Franklin, called someone up and they did fix it. The room was also very worn looking, the door to the balcony was like 1000 lb to slide open because it was so old and worn. I like to sleep cold and the room really didn’t get cold so that and the stickiness of the bed was kind of hard for me to fall asleep. It was very sticky and damp and the air conditioning was limited so you couldn’t put it down very low. I actually liked the restaurants and buffet, the grill food on the beach was ehh. The grounds, pool and beach were all nice. We were preferred club so at check-in we were greeted with the drink of our choice and some snacks. Stayed at this resort for a family member’s wedding. ![]() To stop the enemy in their tracks and prevent the contagion from spreading, having reference guides on hand for dependent systems can make this process exponentially faster. The top priority is to cut off affected system whether what means physically unplugging network cables, powering off machines or terminating account access, the sooner the better. When the alarm bells ring and the digital ramparts are breached, swift action is your primary defense. Creating the most effective monitoring plan is creating clear and defined criticality levels, alert chains to the proper stakeholders and tailored thresholds to mitigate alert fatigue. The key to early detection is good infrastructure monitoring and reporting. In the midst of an attack, time is everything in terms of damage, time to recover and revenue lost. Take time to consider the “If-Then” scenarios you might encounter example being, if law enforcement or your insurance carrier confiscates your hardware for investigation, then does your company have another site with servers to recover to or can your plan utilize cloud-based resources? How will you transfer the data to this location and what are the expected time to cost ratios in these options? Engagement: The Cyber Battlefield Unleashed ![]() ![]() Redundant systems, failover mechanisms and off-site resilient data backups are your secret weapons to ensure that business goes on. To ensure continuity of operations, you must have contingency plans in place, a strategic fallback to maintain momentum. ![]() In an attack, your digital infrastructure may be compromised or confiscated by the authorities. Develop Contingency Plans - A Tactical Reallocation Keep in mind it’s not just your internal teams that need to be aware of these alternative forms of communication but also the external resources helping in the mitigation and recovery process, especially senior leadership and public relations. These alternate channels are your lifeline when the primary network crumbles under the attack. Establishing redundant communication channels is necessary in ensuring that critical messages and communications can still flow through the chaos. When the first shots are fired in the digital skirmish, communication lines are often among the first to be severed due to compromised and downed VOIP, email services or the underlying ‘plumbing’ (e.g., DNS/AD) for connecting users to their normal communications platforms. Establish Redundant Communications - The Battle for Connectivity Beyond the resources provided during and after attacks, these insurance providers generally require companies to meet minimum baseline security which in itself will enforce hardening methods and other best practices across an organization’s environment. Many of those industry experts are first line contracts to service the insurance providers, so the providers may be able to get you independent experts faster or who are better than the individuals you may have the ability to engage directly. Even more than financial benefits, cyber insurances companies employ and contract the top security experts to be on hand in times of attacks. Cyber insurance can provide some of the resources needed to recover from the aftermath of a cyberattack or at least lessen the losses. Acquire Cyber Insurance - Your Financial BastionĬyber security insurance is your financial nest egg, your safeguard against financial ruin. In this case, the best place to start is to contact your vendors and ask for both hardening and recovery documentation - to ensure you are following the best practices to mitigate attacks and recover faster. Preparation: Fortify the Cyber Arsenalīefore any battle, you will want to have as many allies and resources on your side as possible but knowing where to find accurate and helpful information can be difficult. This strategic guide unfolds in three critical phases: Preparation, Engagement and Triumph - each vital to successful business continuity. In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber warfare, organizations must be fully equipped, prepared for the subduing incursion and swift in their response to emerge victorious. These stealthy assailants are relentless, exploiting every vulnerability to breach digital fortresses, wreak havoc and compromise the integrity of business-critical data. In the digital age, where information is power, and the battle for data integrity rages on, cyber threats loom like shadowy adversaries, ready to pounce on unsuspecting organizations. ![]() It's great for someone maintaining class lectures, but I much prefer individual single notes, like Notability. My biggest gripe with GoodNotes is the entire notebook approach. For project planning, I really like using a mind mapping tool, then once I am done with it I export the data to a common file format. I don't really care what tool I use to generate a particular note, as long as they are all easy to find and are saved in a common format I can use on any device. If I have to generate dozens of notes, and I am at my desk, I just use Word. All of my backed up stuff was there, and it was only a minor hiccup thanks to the GoodNotes backup feature.

Unfortunately, Evernote's handwriting support. One cool thing that Evernote has, and no one else seems to have, is the ability to recognize text from multiple languages at once. I've got a blog post about the app - my poor handwriting is clearly shown there There's no particular integration with Evernote, as far as I know (don't use it that way), but it is easy to "open" notes in Evernote, where the OCR is still readable (of course). You can also select some handwritten stuff, have that converted to text, and paste that somewhere. My English handwriting (native speaker, but poor handwriting) is a little less effective. The OCR works in the background. I easily get 90% recognition with Japanese / Chinese. GoodNotes is amazing, especially with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. Basically, as I understand it, the OCR text in PDF is handled by a special layer, so the result should be the same as with a typed PDF that has that OCR layer embedded. I only still have Evernote free which I am not even using, just keep it around so I could use this forum (lots of good data organization info here that is more or less universal) so no comments there - I think you need a paid membership to search through PDF files ? I can however find text in my handwritten PDFs when searching in GDrive. So if it works for me, it should work for anyone I seem to be one of the few people left who still write in cursive, plus English is not my native language and my handwriting is probably affected by this (different learned strokes). ![]() I'd say I get well over 90% accuracy with a decent stylus, and my handwriting is terrible.
