This was improved in Ultimax, which instead splits the story perspectives between P4 and P3 characters, with a True Ending path opening up when you complete both. There is however a notable disparity in structure, where Arena would have you following each character’s plotline only for some scenes to completely contradict another character’s perspective. One note of caution is if you’re a newcomer who wants to play the story in chronological order, select ‘P4A: Story Mode’ first rather than ‘Episode “P4”’ at the top of the menu list, otherwise it’ll be like finding yourself starting an anime’s second season. Part of that DLC is the ability to play through all of the story mode of the first Arena, more organically integrated in this remaster, as more character paths and chapters unlock as you play through the sprawling visual novel-style campaign. Its remaster is then welcome, not to mention at a decent £24.99 / $29.99 price point, including all DLC, while mechanics and balancing are up to date with the arcade’s 2.5 version. Of course, given its original home release in 2014 was limited to PS3 and Xbox 360 one year after the launch of their successors, it also meant it would have flown under the radar of most players save for the most dedicated fans. Except in this case, it was also a proper narrative sequel, while the original Arena itself was also a direct sequel to not only the mainline game but also its predecessor Persona 3. Street Fighter 3: Third Strike), with a smattering of new characters and mechanics to justify the release. That devotion extended to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, which could have been just an iteration like most fighting games (e.g. READ MORE: The best RPGs: The definitive list of the best RPGs you can play in 2022.That much was disproven with 2012’s Persona 4 Arena, which was not only a solid 2D fighter developed by Arc System Works, already with acclaimed anime fighters under its belt such as the Blazblue and Guilty Gear series, but also allowed for Atlus to deliver the rich storytelling that fans loved. When a beloved JRPG gets a fighting game spin-off, it would be natural to assume it’s little more than a cynical cash grab.

Zotero preferencesįirst, let’s walk though Zotero Preferences. We are ready to go through the setup step-by-step. There we need to click the options gear button and select Install Add-on From File option. A separate window for Add-ons manager will pop-up. To install the plugins open Zotero and click Tools -> Add-ons. It will be used later on to sync the database of bibliographic metadata.ĭownload and install the two plugins we’ll need – ZotFile (organizes the database of PDFs) and Better BibTeX (exports the library to. I’ve used win+linux and win+mac – no sync problems ever.įrom the same download page go to install Zotero Connector, a browser extension that helps to retrieve bibliographic metadata.Ĭreate an account on Zotero website. It’s cross-platform and works smoothly with various systems, even when the same database is sycned in parallel on machines with different operation systems. Prerequisitesĭownload and install Zotero. I’ve opened a request on Zotero forum and in two days the style was created. Once I figured out there the style repository does not have a style for Demographic Research, one of the best journals in demography. And the project keeps developing nicely – just look at the recent Zotero blog entries on the new features such as Google Docs integration, Unpaywall integration and a new web service for quick citations.įinally, an example of how strong Zotero community is. As a career-long decision I’m confident in choosing Zotero. Academic community knows a lot about Elsevier in particular and for-profit products in general. There is no similar hack for Mendeley, and with them at some point one is bound to pay for extra storage.Īnother consideration in favor of Zotero is that it’s an open-source program with strong community and outspoken commitment to stay free forever, while Mendeley is an Elsevier for-profit product. It’s the main set-up hack that I’m showing in this blog post. Why do I choose and recommend Zotero then? Because it’s fairly easy to set-up Zotero so that the free 300MB are only used to sync metadata (which in practice means almost infinite storage), and the PDFs are synced separately using a cloud solution of one’s choice (I use Google Drive). Yet, both give some limited storage for free – Zotero gives 300MB, and Mendeley gives 2GB. Both are free to use and make money by offering cloud storage to sync PDFs of the papers. Probably, the most popular two are Zotero and Mendeley. Some of them are free, the others require paid subscriptions. There are dozens of bibliographic managers out there ( see a comparative table). There are more than six thousand bibliographic styles! Why Zotero? All we need is to download a specific journal’s citation style. For different bibliographic styles we just need to re-shuffle those blocks inserting various commas, semicolons, and quotation marks.īibliographic manager keeps track of all the LEGO blocks and knows (learns easily) how to compose proper citation styles out of them. I tend to think of bibliographic metadata as LEGO.įor each paper (book chapter / pre-print / R package) we have a number of metadata pieces – title, authors, date published, etc. Once you start using a reference manager this all becomes a happily forgotten nightmare. I suffer almost physical pain just thinking about colleagues who for some reason never started using one – all those excel spreadsheets with favorite citations, messy folders with PDFs, constant hours lost for the joy-killing task of manual reference list formatting. Finally, I decided to translate it adding some basic information on how to use Zotero with rmarkdown.Ī brief (and hopefully unnecessary for you) intro of bibliographic managersīibliographic manager is a life saver in everyday academic life. This is a funny case of a self written manual which I came back to multiple times myself and many many more times referred my friends to it, even non-Russian speakers who had to use Google Translator and infer the rest from screenshots. The post shows how to organize a personal academic library of unlimited size for free. Here is a bit refreshed translation of my 2015 blog post, initially published on Russian blog platform. 7z – 7zip file – This extension is used to identify compressed files that use a variety of data compression and encryption algorithms. EXE – Since an executable file will operate on a machine as every other application, it is an extension used to describe executable files, making them easier to load. What are the file formats supports in XAMPP? It provides data collection, manipulation, recovery, arrangement, and deletion services through the internet. MySQL is one of the most commonly deployed relational database management systems. MariaDB :- XAMPP used to have MySQL DBMS, but MariaDB has since taken its place.It’s a hybrid of Perl 5 and Perl 6, two high-level dynamic programming languages. HTML, XML, and other markup languages are all supported by Perl. This language is actually used for web creation, GUI development, system management, among other stuff. This Perl language is complex and interpretable. Perl :- Perl is also referred to as the “universal” programming language.It is said to have been inspired by Personal Home Page resources, which describes its ease of use and accessibility. Hypertext Processor (PHP) is an acronym for Hypertext Preprocessor. It was written in the C programming language. It supports a range of database management systems and can be deployed on any computer. Users may use PHP to create complex websites and applications. PHP :- PHP is a common backend scripting language for web creation.MYSQL allows you to organise content, handle it, retrieve it, and refresh it anytime you want. It is the most widely used and best RDBMS for developing web-based software applications. Structured Query Language (SQL) is the acronym for Structured Query Language. It’s a relational database management system, to be precise (RDBMS).
The lithium iron phosphate type is ideal for this specific application. Van der Weerdt: “Lithium batteries have gotten a bad name because of some incidents in the past, but there are many different types of lithium batteries, and we have done extensive research into the composition of our battery. Lithium iron phosphate is ideal for this applicationīecause it is a lithium battery, the energy from the battery can actually be used and thus optimally used. The peak load on the grid is therefore a thing of the past, and the surplus is stored. The total output capacity of the inverter is then twice as original AC-rated power. By connecting a battery to the inverter, the inverter can simultaneously supply 5kW to the grid and store 5kW in the battery. The system is then enormously over dimensioned, so you would normally have a large cap loss. “Suppose you have one 5kW inverter, which gives the opportunity to install a quantity of PV panels with a peak capacity of 10kW. “The great thing about a battery is that the capacity of your inverter is no longer the maximum capacity of your installation,” says Van der Weerdt. And only when the battery is fully charged, it is fed back into the grid. Self-consumption always comes first, what is left of electricity is temporarily stored. The system is scalable from one power module with one battery module (5 kWh) to two power modules with a total of six battery modules and a capacity of 30 kWh.”Ī battery makes it possible to use the generated power from the solar panels efficiently. This prevents unwanted balancing currents from arising, and also ensures that risks of overcharging, deep discharge or overheating cannot occur. Each battery module contains an energy optimizer that regulates the charging and discharging process inside the module. “We call the device a Smart String ESS,” explains Van der Weerdt, “because you could put batteries in a string, just like solar panels, with a maximum of three battery modules. This home battery is modular type, with the power module on the top connected by a DC coupling to one, two and a maximum of three battery modules with built-in energy optimizer. This home battery works with a single-phase inverter or small three-phase inverters up to 10 kW each, optimizers, and an app to monitor the energy flows.”īattery connected to up to three battery modules Solution manager Bouke van der Weerdt: “Our R&D department came up with the LUNA2000 smart string ESS system. Huawei started with the production of an internet router and then became widely known for their smartphones. Bouke van der Weerdt, solutions manager at Huawei, talks about the LUNA2000 smart string Energy Storage System (ESS). Many companies are busy developing systems. Energy storage will play an important role in the energy transition. Brown received his BFA from The Art Institute of Chicago (1993), and MFA from Yale school of Art and Architecture (1997). Brown was born in San Francisco and lives in Oakland. The goal of my work is to make new Black myths and lore that are born of tradition, yet transcend pre-existing archetypes that diminish the Black-imagination.” This is how I build my narratives – like scaffolding around the art history of painting, the cultural history of hip-hop and my personal history. Classic literature and hip hop share the trait of veering between folk and the epic instantaneously, from line to line – even within a single line. Octagon, Howlin Wolf and Sir Nose of Parliament Funkadelic. Within hip-hop and the blues there is use of allegory, metaphor and the modernist persona, like Kool Keith aka Dr. My storytelling functions culturally, the tradition calls for expanding the idiom through improvisation, riffing and rupturing. I articulate my personal history and African Diaspora-multi-threaded history, not precluding the Western cannon of art, locating myself in art history strategically, deploying it anachronistically, and creating new connections and associations. “This work explores scenes and characters form my allegory New Black Myths. If you ever ask Lynda about Rhythmix, you’ll probably hear about the incredible events offered…and how she hopes to be like Janet and Bean when she grows up. Rhythmix holds a very special place in Lynda’s heart as it is the place where she first started teaching a decade ago! It’s been a wonderful journey contributing in all ways possible to all the great work happening at RCW. Today, Lynda runs her independent business as a fitness instructor, accountability wellness coach, and business mentor to others who work in the fitness industry. With the birth of her son, Lynda shifted her work from dance to fitness. Lynda has also worked offstage in administrative, management, and marketing positions for local dance companies. She has performed for various choreographers and companies in the Bay Area, from modern to folkloric dance. Lynda earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance and Choreography at UC Santa Barbara. The culture shock was intense at times, but connecting to the creativity and discipline of dance at a local dance studio really helped her have an outlet from bullying and have a way to express herself in ways that didn’t depend on spoken word. Lynda Gutierrez moved from Colombia to Alameda at the age of 5. Her expertise has helped create systems to streamline the sign-up process, address special needs and organize resources to ensure teachers/students have a smooth and enriching arts field trip experience. In 2017, Michelle joined Rhythmix to coordinate the Performance, Art and Learning (PAL) program. Michelle also volunteered with the Oakland Museum of California’s educational department, assisting teachers with school field trips for tours, workshops and museum performances. After moving to the Bay area, she spent 8 years as a stay at home parent serving on her daughter’s Co-op school Board as VP and volunteering as an art docent, room parent and scheduling STEAM performances for school assemblies and field trips. Art Director/interior designer for over 10 years after earning her degree in Communications and Art History from Northwestern University and Harrington College of Design in Chicago. Michelle Labrador, Youth and Family Director, worked in event marketing and branded environments as a Sr. On the other hand, Newark Academy has an outstanding arts program, with a nationally acclaimed jazz band and great arts faculty that surpasses Pingry’s. However, Pingry probably has the overall edge in terms of athletics. When you look at other things, such as athletics, Newark Academy has some very good teams, such as the famous tennis team or the girls basketball team. In the end, either school is fine in terms of academics. Pingry’s statistics in academics are slightly higher than Newark Academy’s but this is most likely due to a larger student body. Both have very similar rigorous curriculum and course offerings. Newark Academy and Pingry are both very exceptional academic schools in the country. I know this is a late post, but if anyone ends up reading this… And last, but not least, the campus is gorgeous. Another third went to excellent schools like Notre Dame, Georgetown, Vanderbuilt, etc. About a third of his class went to Ivies, top LACs or comparable schools. College placement for my son's class was great. And you always see a lot of these girls at Delbarton athletic events, plays, etc. Delbarton has dances and the like with the all girls schools in the area (Kent Place, etc.). Although there are no girls at the school, this doesn't seem to hold back the boys socially. My son wasn't an athelete but found plenty of stuff at Delbarton he loved including music, theater and community service programs. If your son wants to be a competitive lacrosse or hockey player at Delbarton, he better be very, very good. The last six years Delbarton had outstanding teams in lacrosse, hockey, and soccer, really good teams in football and baseball and some top notch atheletes in other sports such as wrestling. The school also has some very strong athletic programs. My sons classes prepared him extremely well for AP exams and for college. The monks set high standards for decency and morality and the students live up to those standards. And although there are occasional Catholic masses held for the student body, I never heard that students of faiths other than Catholic ever felt uncomfortable. I believe about two-thirds of the student body is Catholic. The monks set the tone spiritually, but almost all the academic teaching is handled by lay teachers. As the other poster noted, Delbarton is run by Benedictine monks. He know attends one of the top universities in America. My son attended Delbarton for six years, graduating last spring. I don't know Newark Academy at all, and only know Pingry to have a strong academic reputation. Albus Dumbledore addressing the Great Hall in The Sorcerer's StoneĪfter awarding Harry, Hermione, and Ron points for their respective courage, logic, and chess-playing skills in battling Voldemort for the sorcerer's stone, Dumbledore makes recognizes Neville Longbottom for his ability to stand his ground against Harry, Ron, and Hermione when they tried to sneak out of the Gryffindor common room to foil Voldemort's plan. During a tender moment in Hagrid's cabin, Hagrid explains his parents' - and his own - philosophy on self-acceptance.Ĭredit: bob al-greene / mashable "If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." 10. Dumbledore refuses to accept Hagrid's resignation, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione tell Hagrid they, too, want him to return to teaching. Rubeus Hagrid to Harry, Ron, and Hermione in The Goblet of FireĪfter it becomes widely known that Hagrid's mother was a giantess, a very ashamed Hagrid attempts to resign from Hogwarts. “Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.” 14. Dumbledore's all-knowing optimism sets the tone for the rest of his interactions with Harry throughout the sixth book. They're dumbfounded, and Dumbledore wastes no time ushering Harry out of the house to begin their fateful journey back to Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore to Harry in The Half-Blood PrinceĪfter Dumbledore essentially tells off the Dursleys for mistreating Harry for his entire childhood, he informs them of the magical protection he placed on their house for the time that Harry lived there. Throughout the seven books, audiences became accustomed to the immensely empathetic knowledge possessed by so many of Rowling's sincere characters.Īnd though most us don't face the same exact situations that characterized Harry's time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the series' many insights can help guide us through whatever tribulations we're facing out here in the Muggle world.Ĭovering an array of subjects, from identity, purpose, and generosity to love and the slim boundary between life and death, here are the 15 most influential life lessons tucked into the pages of the beloved book series. Rowling's inaugural novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (and 10 since she put the book series to rest with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). It's been 22 years since the release of J.K. The Morrigan's passive allows for good damage and clear early gamw, without actual damage and clear. Horrific Emblem can also be used to help you hit your combos if you are just unable to aim too well. Aegis is another solid choice, as well as Puri, due to lack of sustain in Morrigan's kit, she is extremely squishy. Let's say I'm facing an Odin, whos ult is a direct counter to Anubis with 100% healing reduction, however, I've never played Nox, and I'm rank 6 with Anubis, I understand Anubis's combo and abilities much better than Nox, and, even though she is a better choice kitwise, I'm more comfortable with Anubis, so I'll play him instead.Īsk yourself these (as quickly as you can of course) before ulting and you will be much better at using it.Īt the beggining of the game, look at the enemy gods, if they have an Ares, you may want to pick up blink to fully utilize Ares' ultimate, or thorns to completely play with Kuzenbo or Hades as well as possible. Sometimes Anubis is the better choice in terms of kit, but he's building full tank Anubis, with no power, in which case there is no point in becoming him, as you would be less likely to win than if you just used Nox's or even your own kit. However, in a 1v1, or if your facing someone with hard antiheal in their kit, like Odin, Nox's Silence Root combo would be much more useful, as long as you can hit it. Would an Anubis combo be more useful right now? Or would Nox's? It depends on the situation, as if you are in a 1v2 with enemy minions around you, unable to retreat, Anubis would be a better choice, his AoE damage could hit both targets, as well is destroy the minion wave. There are a few questions I've asked myself before deciding who to turn into before the fight Knowing when and who to ult into, takes game knowledge, knowing whether to turn into Hades and try to ult the entire enemy team, or Hun Batz to truly change the team fight. Learning her will take time and practice, especially her ultimate. The Morrigan is a very complicated god to play, there is no way around that. And withour further Adou, let's get into the guide That's perfectly fine, you don't have to listen to me these guides are all IMO, and are not the "best" way to play, but can most Definitly help someone who has never played her, get to know how, or even provides extra insight on veteran players. Why should I listen to you? I'm a rank 10 Morrigan and i play nothing like that! I've been playing smite for quite a while, and in doing so, have learned to play most every god to the competitive level, and so I'd like to share my expertise and experience with the sub, if you want to request any other guides, feel free to PM me, and also add your own knowledge to the guide if you have more! There is always more than one way to play a god, this is just the way I find most effective. They are also quite separate from Archangels or other angel groups, although there is some debate as to whether Archangels are also Guardian Angels, we’ll discuss that more in a moment. Remember that they aren’t the spirit of a dead person. But the nature of Guardian Angels is frequently questioned. If you think about your own life, you’ll undoubtedly be able to recall a time when you were guided by some sort of higher power to make one decision over another.

Instead, they are here to help guide you towards your full spiritual potential by helping you communicate with your spiritual self. They aren’t here to make life easy or protect you from discomfort.

All religions and cultures include beings who bring humanity messages from the Gods or the spirit world.Ī Guardian Angel is assigned to you before birth and will stay with you until death. They simply go by a different name or are understood to help humanity in a slightly different way. But that’s not to say that we don’t find similar beings within other cultures or histories. The notion of Guardian Angels primarily exists within the Judeo-Christian faiths, and perhaps most predominantly within Christianity. What is a Guardian Angel and What do they do? If you are feeling an inner calling to search for your Guardian Angel, to learn their name, and to communicate with them in new and exciting ways, then you might be taking your first steps along your spiritual journey. We all have angels watching over us, but a Guardian Angel plays a slightly more personal role: they are with us from birth until death and likely beyond.
