Online exams and evaluation, digital classwork, and homework make the Mastermind E-learning platform the best choice for teaching abacus to kids from the convenience of their homes.ĥWhat is your Online E-Learning platform like? The entire practice is in form of game exercises which makes learning a fun-filled experience for kids. The interactive portal of Mastermind Abacus having an integrated screen of video conferencing with content video ensures excellent learning of kids without any workbooks. With the introduction of the E-learning platform by Mastermind Abacus, the scenario has completely changed. Checking classwork and homework, taking exams and evaluating students and at the same time making the classes interesting and engaging for kids was a real uphill task. As a result of this, the child performs better in all the subjects.Įarlier, teaching abacus to kids at home was a big challenge as it was practically very difficult to take classes on video conferencing and making the kids practice on workbooks. Abacus works on the principle of simultaneously activating both the hemispheres of a child’s brain resulting in improved concentration, listening ability, photographic memory, recall, mental calculating skill, and overall performance. While the left or logical brain is responsible for logic, numbers, calculations, and identification of black & white colors, the right or creative brain is responsible for creativity, imagination, concentration, recall & photographic memory. Different responsibilities have been assigned to both parts of the human brain. The left or logical brain and the right or creative brain. The human brain can be considered to be divided into two parts or hemispheres. About thirty years back it was discovered that this simple calculating instrument can be an important brain development tool for kids between 6 to 14 years of age. Kids who have done abacus courses up to certain levels are able to visualize the abacus instrument and do long calculations mentally with astonishing speed.Ībacus is an ancient calculating instrument that was primarily invented for doing calculations. Mental math is the technique of doing calculations mentally without using any pen paper or calculator. To understand abacus mental math and its benefits, we have to first know what Abacus and mental math is. There are certain formulas that have to be implemented for doing calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.Īlthough invented with the objective of doing calculations, the abacus since the last three decades is widely used as a math improvement and complete brain development tool for kids.ģWhat is Abacus Mental Math and how it will help my child? Every bead has a certain value and calculations are done by moving the beads on rods. Thus a child doing abacus not only shows improvement in mathematics but also excellence in all the subjects.Ībacus is a frame having rods and beads. On activation of both the parts, a child gets excellent calculating skills and number sense along with improved concentration, photographic memory, recall, and listening ability. The left hemisphere is responsible for logic, numbers, and calculation. The right hemisphere is responsible for creativity, concentration, recall, and photographic memory. Predominantly only one part or hemisphere of the human brain is more active which in 90% of cases is the left one. The abacus primarily is a complete brain development program that simultaneously activates both left and right hemispheres of a child’s brain. It is imperative to understand that math is only a tool in abacus learning and math improvement is only one of the many benefits of this wonderful program. This lead to the discovery of an instrument that used beads for doing calculations and thus came into existence the tool Abacus. This method had its limitations and was not usable for higher calculations. In ancient times when calculators were not there, people used fingers for counting. 1What is an Abacus and What are the benefits of learning abacus?Ībacus is an ancient calculating device that was invented for the sole purpose of doing higher calculations.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks.Return the strained cranberry puree to the saucepan, then stir in the butter into the cranberry puree.Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mash the cranberry mixture into the strainer, draining all the liquid/puree into the bowl and leaving the pulp behind. Pour the cranberry mixture into a strainer that is set over a large bowl.Cook the cranberries, sugar, orange zest and orange juice in a saucepan over medium heat for about 10 to 12 minutes until the cranberries get soft (pop, pop, pop!).Here’s how to make the rich, creamy filling of the cranberry curd tart: This is my favorite part! There’s some sort of sweet satisfaction when I hear the popping of cranberries cooking. How to make the curd for a cranberry curd tart Bake at 350☏ for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly toasted.Press the dough into your tart pan (we recommend this type of tart pan) and use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust before placing it in the freezer for 30 minutes.Add sugar and butter, then pulse it until it looks like damp sand.After they’ve roasted and cooled, place them in a food processor with the flour and salt, processing until the mixture is fine like sand. Toast pecans about 10 to 12 minutes in the oven, set to 350☏ (make sure to stir the pecans about 5 minutes in, to make sure they toast evenly). Since cranberry curd has a tang to it, this sweet, pecan brown sugar crust pairs wonderfully. The pecan brown sugar crust is the perfect type of crust for this cranberry curd tart! It’s buttery and sweet, with a hint of pecan flavor. I love any kind of curd, and this one, with its deep fuchsia color, will be a beautiful addition to your holiday table! a delightful pair: pecan brown sugar crust and cranberry curd Cranberry curd is simple to make and has such a deliciously tart, rich and creamy flavor to it. In Lua, you can join one string to another using the. They behave similarly to the variables in algebra, but can store any kind of data, not just numbers.Īnother simple data type in addition to numbers is the string, which represents text and is defined with quotes. Variables, data types, arithmetic, and logicĪ variable is the name of the place where you store data. You can find many good resources for learning Lua on the page. On the advice of some people who helped proofread this tutorial, I've vastly condensed this section, as it is not the main focus. This section will briefly introduce basic programming concepts using Lua. I recommend frequently referencing the documentation provided in the Aegisub user manual. If you already know Lua, or if you'd rather start writing macros right away and learn Lua as you go, then you can skip to "The Aegisub Environment". If you already know a programming language (HTML doesn’t count), you can skip to "Lua for Experienced Programmers". The next section will cover basic programming concepts for people who have never programmed before. This tutorial should provide a solid starting point, but advanced users will have to do their own research. There are many features of the Lua language and the Aegisub API that I've never used and won't cover. This tutorial is based on my own knowledge and experience. In most cases, these tasks can be automated using macros written in Lua code, and often quite easily. If you’ve worked on an advanced substation alpha script, especially if you’re a typesetter, you’ve probably encountered tasks that are tedious, repetitive, and/or require more calculations than you’re willing to do. This tutorial is meant to serve as a basic guide to creating Lua automations for use in Aegisub. Creating Lua Automation Scripts for Aegisub
The adequacy inquiry concerns the “interests and incentives of the representative plaintiffs.” Dewey v. “Adequacy” commands that the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.” Fed. at 311, and to avoid situations where the legal theories of the named plaintiffs conflict with the legal theories of the absentees. Though the concepts of commonality and typicality are analytically similar, the typicality requirement is specifically "designed to align the interests of the class and the class representatives so that the latter will work to benefit the entire class through the pursuit of their own goals," Id. However, class members are not required to have identical claims or underlying factual circumstances if the claims at issue arise from the same practice or course of conduct, or are based on the same underlying legal theory, the typicality requirement will be satisfied. The “typicality” requirement is satisfied if the claims of the representative parties are typical of the claims of the class. A common question is one that, when answered as to one class member, will advance the resolution of the claims of the other members of the putative class. This provision ensures that there are shared factual or legal issues among claimants such that it is efficient, fair and sensible to permit a single adjudication of similar claims. Generally, a class will not be certified unless “there are questions of law or fact common to the class.” La Fata v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 446 U.S. The United States Supreme Court has stated that, “he numerosity requirement requires examination of the specific facts of each case and imposes no absolute limitations. To satisfy the requirement of numerosity, a Plaintiff must demonstrate that the class is so “numerous that joinder of all parties is impracticable.” Fed. See generally Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 and New Jersey Rule of Court 4:32. For a class action to proceed, a court must conclude that: (1) that the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable (the “numerosity requirement”) (2) that there are questions of law or fact common to the class (the “commonality requirement”) (3) that the claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of those of the class (the “typicality requirement”) and (4) that the representative parties will adequately protect the interests of the class (the “adequacy of representation” requirement). The core issues facing a court when deciding if a class action is the appropriate way to resolve a multitude of similar claims is to determine: (1) whether common issues of law and fact predominate over individual ones concerning the putative (proposed) class members, (2) whether the class action is superior to a myriad of individually litigated cases, and (3) whether a class action-given the number of individual claims involved is manageable. Unlawful employment practices can take the form, among others, of misclassifying employees as exempt from being eligible for overtime pay or employers misclassifying its worker as independent contractors instead of employees to illegally avoid paying overtime, employer required payroll taxes and providing employee fringe benefits. Class actions can also be brought for consumer and securities fraud, and unlawful employment practices. Examples include “mass tort” claims where recovery is sought for defective products such as pharmaceutical drugs, medical devices, motor vehicles and other consumer products that have injured consumers. There are many different types of claims that can be well-suited for a class action lawsuit. It has been stated that a class action, “is a procedural device that was adopted with the goals of economies of time, effort and expense, uniformity of decisions, the promotion of efficiency and fairness in handling large numbers of similar claims.” In re West Virginia Rezulin Litigiation, 585 S.E. Mashel Law Represents Litigants In Class Action And FLSA Collective Action LawsuitsĪ class action is a procedural device of the courts permitting one or more persons to act as a plaintiff(s) representing the interests of a larger group of persons with similar claims. Note that I repeated this using a Windows Acer i7 2.7 GHz Quad-Core notebook with very close results, so clearly it was not a hardware or operating system issue.Īnd to complete, MP is a 32-bit application that will not run on OSX 10.15 and up. It's a 2.7 GHz i5-2500S Quad-Core iMac with 32 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD. My computer is (was) not new but perfectly adequate for my work. Of course, being in a network server slows things a lot, at least 10-20 times slower than if it was stored on a local drive, even more, if this drive is an SSD. The MP catalogs were stored in the computer internal HD, an 1 TB Samsung EVO 850 SSD, and the images on an external USB-3 LaCie storage or on a CentOS Linux NFS server with a gigabit Ethernet connection capable of a high-speed transfer (about 100 MB/s sustained). I got corrupted catalogs more than once and I was saved by the backups I did periodically. I also noticed some instabilities with High Sierra. MP also is notorious for catalog corruption.Īt the migration time, my MP catalog had 140K images, it took almost 8 minutes to load the catalog. The problem is that Capture One is mainly a photo editor and raw converter with some DAM features and the once excellent user interface was changed to a form I don't like it.įor a long time, MP worked well with my image library, but it started to be very sluggish and slow to start when my catalog passed 75K images. The perpetual license of Capture One Pro 12 cost at this post date, 299 Euros, or if you're crazy enough, you can join the subscription plan for 20 Euros/month. Phase One sort of merged it with Capture One, but of course, if you want to still use it, you must pay for a full license of it and it's no cheap. This last update still works on OSX 10.13 High Sierra and I have no intention to test it on higher versions since Media pro was discontinued killed about one year ago. It worked very well with OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion and then an update was launched in late 2016 to address compatibility with OSX 10.12 Sierra and 10.13 El Capitan, but it was a PAID update that was offered for 39 Euro, a total absurd since it didn't offer any improvements. It was reasonably priced from 139 Euros in 2012 when I started to use it. All posts here reflect my personal impressions and experiences with products, programs, and equipment.įoreword For a considerable time, Phase One Media Pro was my favorite digital asset management program (DAM). I'm not affiliated with any software maker aforementioned in this blog neither monetize sellings from them. The most common – albeit still rare – form of cat melanoma occurs in the iris, the colored part of the eye. These tumors may appear as dark patches on the side, usually occurring in only one eye, not both. These spots can indicate cancer, but they could also be benign. The best is always a visit to our vet. Lentigo, we have already pointed out, is not a medical problem, but cats can develop skin cancers (melanomas) and we must therefore check if a black spot is a freckle or something more serious. So, just to rule out any more serious problems, we have our cat checked by the vet so as to be safe.Įven in the case of each new discovery of spots on the cat, it is worth checking these spots with the vet, especially if the spots are inflamed, raised, or bothersome to our cat. There are several more serious conditions on the nose and lips of felines, which should be checked for any possible disease. Obviously though, it cannot be assumed that every single dark spot is harmless, but let’s talk about the most common scenario. In fact, lentigo may hide melanomas, and dark spots are certainly more likely to be cancerous than flat spots. It is not in fact a form of cancer, freckled spots do not become melanomas over time, it is totally harmless just like human freckles and no medical treatment is needed. No reason to worry, then. There is no known reason why some cats have a genetic predisposition to lentigo, but it appears to be more common in orange colored cats (occasionally, silver and cream colored cats may also have lentigo, however).Īs we said at the beginning, lentigo is harmless. These dark spots on the cat’s nose are the result of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells), which produce more melanin than the skin cells around them. Furthermore, unlike freckles, they do not increase or darken when exposed to the sun but despite this we always remember that excessive exposure to the sun can cause burns in cats that could lead to melanoma of the skin. Lentigo lesions are not freckles, and are distinguished from this type of spots by their darker color, sparse distribution, and some scarcity. These lesions appear flat, do not itch or cause pain, and do not have redness or other discoloration. If our cat has these lesions on the face it is likely that he also has them elsewhere, such as on the eyelids or on the palate. Small lesions of a millimeter or less may appear close together, making an area up to 10mm wide discolored. On the other hand, when more lesions appear in the area, in large numbers, we will have the so-called profuse lentigo. Some cats may also be prone to freckles. If our cat falls into this category, we should expect that as it ages more freckled lesions will appear. Usually the cat has a single lesion or a small series, and this is precisely the characteristic of this pathology. We usually notice in these cases of lentigo simplex the black spots on the cat’s nose first, and we begin to worry even more if more spots appear or if some grow in size. When our cat shows black or brown spots on the lips, nose and near the eyes, we could certainly worry, as we often do not know what they are and if they are threatening or not. They are actually harmless and the reason they appear is usually the so-called lentigo simplex, a genetic condition common in orange, tabby (striped), flame, tortoiseshell and calico (tri-colored) cats. Often these spots, real freckles, appear when the cat is now middle-aged or elderly, but there are cases of cats in which they begin to appear at one year of age. If while we pet it we notice some strange black spots on the cat’s nose, or on its lips, it could be the sign of some problem. If you need to keep an IP address for an extended period, you can use the sticky function to keep it as long as you want. Rayobyte’s rotating ISP proxies are the best on the market. To the website you’re accessing, it looks like 200 users sending one request each instead of one user sending 200 requests. So if your bot sends 200 requests, each one will come from a different IP address. These proxies help you avoid getting blocked by attaching a new IP address to each request. If all of those requests come from the same IP, and not rotating, the website would automatically block the IP address! For example, if you’re using a web scraper to scrape data, it will send requests much faster than any normal human user. Rotating ISP proxies are a pool of ISP proxies that will rotate through with each request. Because ISP proxies are still hosted by data centers, you get the speed of data center proxies combined with the authority of ISP proxies. Rayobyte offers ISP proxies with five ASNs, so if you do get banned, you can automatically rotate to another ASN to avoid being blocked. ISP proxies avoid this by using the autonomous system numbers (ASNs) associated with trusted ISPs such as Verizon and Comcast. Most people use IP addresses issued by ISPs to access the internet, so IP addresses associated with data centers are automatically suspicious. Many websites block data center proxies automatically. This gives them more authority and reliability. Unlike data center proxies, ISP proxies are not easily identifiable as coming from a data center. ISP proxies are issued by internet service providers (ISPs), but they’re not associated with an end user. There are several different types of proxies you can use to bounce your IP address. Using proxies for IP hopping requires a pool of proxy IP addresses that you can rotate. How To Bounce Your IP Address With a Proxy Server However, it allows you to access proxies only from a specific country or even city, depending on the geo-restriction you set. You set this up similarly to a proxy network. You can do this by using a backconnect node for a specific country. A good practice for bouncing your IP address is to stick with proxy IP addresses from the same country. Forgetting to clear your cookies and using IP addresses from different countries can raise a red flag. Websites that detect unusual changes in IP addresses of the same user account may ban the user. Security measures on many websites are increasing, so you may run into problems if you aren’t careful about IP hopping. Because this mimics normal human behavior, it lets your bot avoid detection. To get around this software, you’ll need to bounce your IP address frequently.īouncing your IP address with each request makes a website think that each request is sent by a separate user. Most websites have built-in anti-bot software that automatically detects bot-like behavior and blocks the offending IP address. However, if you’re data scraping or using a shopping bot, one proxy IP address will quickly get banned and become virtually useless. You’ll simply just trade your real IP address for a proxy and carry on as normal. If all you want to do is shield your IP address while you surf the web, using a single, static proxy IP address may be the perfect solution. IP hopping is also used by people who want to scrape data for analysis or use shopping bots to obtain limited-edition items that sell out quickly.įor some use cases, IP hopping may be more than they need. This highly technical form of IP hopping is beyond the scope of this article, but it is discussed in detail here.Īnother, less technical form of IP bouncing is used by people who want to keep their true IP address hidden for security and privacy reasons. This method is called fast IP hopping and involves using a pattern of changing IP addresses that are known to both parties but are kept from everyone else. IP bouncing is used by everyday professionals to securely transfer data. IP bouncing lets you hide your real IP address and avoid getting flagged or banned from the websites you visit. IP hopping is when you use one IP address for a while and then switch to another one.
