12/27/2023 0 Comments Saturnalia cake![]() It is possible that this date was chosen to coincide with the festival of Sol Invictus (and certainly the winter solstice) however, there is little evidence that the birth of Sol Invictus was celebrated on the 25th before the mid-4th century, so it may be the other way around. Early Christians didn’t celebrate Christ’s birth at all (primarily because the gospels don’t give a date), but the 4th century had seen a gradual focus on its importance with the first celebration of the nativity taking place in Alexandria on the 25th of December, 432 AD. That same calendar also gives this date as the birth of Jesus. Although long worshiped in ancient Rome, the importance of the sun as a deity increased with Syrian influence in the 4th century AD and the festival of Sol Invictus was marked in the Philocalian Calendar of 354 AD as taking place on the 25th of December (the day of the solstice, according to Julian reckoning). Its close proximity to the winter solstice meant that Saturnalia had merged with the later festival of the birth of Sol Invictus – the ‘Unconquered Sun’. The trading of gifts, feasting and the lighting of candles in the darkening days of December influenced modern Christmas traditions as Saturnalia continued to be celebrated as a secular holiday long after it was officially removed from the calendar. It was also described as a festival of light with widespread use of wax candles which were sometimes exchanged as gifts.Ī dedication made to Sol Invictus (the ‘unconquered sun’) whose birth was celebrated on the 25th of December in the late Roman Empire It was a riotous holiday marked by eating, drinking, dancing and gambling. Businesses, courts and schools would close and people would go home for several days of private merrymaking with the 19th a day of gift giving. Saturnalia began with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn on the 17th followed by a public banquet. ![]() In mimicry of this mythical age, there was a role reversal between slaves and masters with the former treated to a banquet and, in some instances, even served by their masters. It was in honour of the god Saturn, an agricultural deity who had reigned over the world during its Golden Age which was marked by peace, harmony and bountiful harvests. Mustacei were eaten during the Roman festival of Saturnalia which began December 17th and could last until December 23rd. Fresco from the House of the Dioscuri at Pompeii, Naples Archaeological Museum. The Roman god Saturn with his scythe signifying his role as an agricultural deity.

12/27/2023 0 Comments Civil strife![]() The party remained consumed and narrowly focussed on power and not the people of Zimbabwe. Zanu PF appears to have failed to introspect both after the November 2017 coup as well as the July 2018 election. The state, as Dr Ibbo Mandaza often says, has become the biggest source of access to economic means and political power is simply a tool for rent seeking, influence peddling, deal making, nepotism and corruption. Change was not defined beyond parochial political interests. Zanu PF’s blundering is now coming to haunt the party. Mnangagwa had the opportunity to rise above the politics of self-serving power to set Zimbabwe on a new economic and political trajectory by pronouncing a broad-based agenda of economic, social and political reforms that reached out to all political, civil and business sectors. The definition of success within the ruling elite must go beyond the self to embrace the national. ![]() It is important to note that broad-based reforms are not synonymous with “Zimbabwe is open for business” sloganeering it is putting an end to systems and structures that have bred this malaise and that includes the state-and-party confluence, an end to undemocratic laws, abuse of the security sector for political ends, and an end to election cheating, corruption among other issues.īusiness cannot work nor can capital flow into Zimbabwe when we have such primitive modes of governance. This would have reset Zimbabwe on a new path. President Emmerson Mnagangwa had an opportunity to institute broad-based reforms twice, that is in 2017 when he came back from brief exile to take over from Mugabe and post the July 2018 election. And what they know is what was taught and practised by Mugabe. Zanu PF’s failure to reform and introspect has constrained the party’s ability to realistically think of politics and governance outside what the ruling elites know. While Mugabe is no longer Zanu PF and Zimbabwe’s leader, the new leadership in Zanu PF has in practice maintained his legacy even as they speak a different language in public. ![]() This is in the form of the continuation of what others now call Mugabeism, that is Zanu PF maintaining Mugabe’s style of governance, style of leadership and structures both in the government and party and security sectors. While Mugabe is off the scene, the legacy of his years in power is what is still obtaining. The key factors towards this stasis that we find ourselves in are a crisis of legitimacy and a crisis of expectations from citizens, wearied by years of misrule under former president Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF. THE events of the past few weeks indicate that Zimbabwe’s national risk remains high and that neither the coup of November 2017 nor the July 2018 elections have provided a lasting solution to our national political and economic crisis. 12/27/2023 0 Comments Keyboard maestro reset trialDEVONthink To Go will pull the contents from the old location to upload to the new sync location.

12/27/2023 0 Comments Logitech g915 clicky![]() This weight, combined with the ample rubber footing, keeps the board in position on the desk all day long. Like all quality mechanical keyboards, it’s heavy, weighing over 800g. The aluminium, steel, and plastic case is robust and stable, negating bounce and flex even on the highest position setting. Next to these controls, there’s the Game Mode button, which deactivates the Windows key for disruption-free gaming, and an RGB brightness control.Īmazingly, the ultra-thin profile of the 915 TKL hasn’t meant sacrificing any of the advantages typically associated with bulkier keyboards. This adds great versatility to the G915 TKL, as it can be connected to multiple devices, including tablets and smartphones. The two leftmost buttons control the wireless connection, allow the user to switch between the 1ms LIGHTSPEED connection and a regular Bluetooth connection. The four buttons on the right are dedicated media controls, and the roller bar allows for quick, on-the-fly volume adjustment. We don't doubt that the FPS and competitive nature of these switches also aided in the smooth and rapid performance of the keyboard.Īcross the top of the G915 TKL, you’ll find eight soft-touch buttons and a metal roller. Our tester keyboard was carrying the GL Tactile switch, which is the range’s equivalent to the Cherry MX Brown. The reviewer has been a steadfast standard mechanical switch user for many years, and though it took a few hours to get used to the reduced depth, they found that the low-profile design allowed for a quick and easy keystrokes that operated well in both day-to-day PC use, and proved responsive when gaming across several genres. This combination is unconventional, and the result is astounding. The low-profile GL switches are topped with an equally low-profile cap to match. The G915 TKL features Logitech’s GL mechanical switches, which offer all the benefits of a standard gaming switch at half of the height and boast an actuation distance of only 1.5mm. The G915 TKL also features a specialised low-profile body, long-life battery, Bluetooth connectivity, RGB lighting, and macro key storage. The keyboard is a meeting point for two of Logitech’s most recent developments: the low-profile GL switches, and LIGHTSPEED “pro-grade” wireless. The Logitech G915 TKL mechanical gaming keyboard is said to be a “ breakthrough in design and engineering”. Just so you know, while we may receive a commission or other compensation from the links on this page, we never allow this to influence product selections. Now available from Amazon UK and Logitech G. Its thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed low-profile design takes a moment to get used to, but soon reveals its power to enhance gamer comfort and speed. The G915 TKL feels like it’s leading the industry into new and exciting territory. ![]() Verdict: The Logitech G915 TKL is an excellent product at the bleeding edge of gaming keyboard technology. 12/27/2023 0 Comments Los angeles skyscraper slide![]() Journal Media does not control and is not responsible for the content of external websites.

Can I stream/watch SSF2 Beta live?Unfortunately, Twitch does not list us as a game. Why does your game have a Wikipedia page? – I have no idea but we’re really excited about it. (tl dr stop calling for Flash to die, jerks) Flash is incredible for creating video games and animations with a low barrier to entry and an incredibly simple interface. No other programming interface would allow us the kind of convenience and workflow that we have with Super Smash Flash 2 without custom tools. If we can make a console-quality game with controller support, online mode, and 10 years worth of custom art, so can you. Is this actually made in Flash? – It is, and one of our major product goals here is to show that Flash is underestimated and underappreciated. It will be one of the biggest Smash bros fan-games – no. Super Smash Flash 2 is a game made by hundreds of people over several years. Super Smash Flash 2 is not a game made by one person in a month, like SSF1. Now, with the knowledge we’ve picked up along the way, we’re striving for the utmost quality this time around. It showed very few similarities to the actual Smash Bros gameplay as it was our first game, yet still somehow attracted large crowds of people. …Super Smash what? – Super Smash Flash is back! You do remember us, right? The original Smash Bros fangame, most popular for content and difficulty, rather than gameplay, Super Smash Flash was…well, Super Smash in a Flash. If you’d like to assist with the development, please click here. NOTE: This game is still very much a work in progress. The most popular Smash fangame on the internet has received its biggest update yet – 3 years in the making!Īre you ready to experience…SUPER SMASH FLASH 2 BETA? See below for some possible solutions (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK):Temporarily set your system clock to the year 2020 (Easy but may cause other system problems and will not work after most future browser updates) There a few temporary workarounds for continuing to play Flash games in-browser, however these are not guaranteed to work forever. Currently only ActionScript 2.0 games are supported and functionality isn"t perfect yet, but since writing this Super Smash Flash 1 is already mostly functional! If you"d like to support the development of Ruffle we urge you to check out its Open Collective page. However, thanks to a project called Ruffle significant strides are being made to emulate Flash. SSF2 development is still continuing regardless, however if you typically play SSF2 in the browser you will unfortunately have to switch to the downloadable version of SSF2 until a solution comes around. Due to the Flash Player reaching end-of-life, it is no longer possible to play this game directly on this page the traditional way in most browsers. 12/27/2023 0 Comments Ifactor tempe interview![]() It also identifies a child’s strengths and weaknesses and provides a solid foundation for intervention planning. reception scale, are straightforward to administer and have been successfully used in other African countries, such as Uganda. The Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) extend from birth to 68 months, contain five separate subscales including receptive language, expressive language, gross motor, fine motor and visual. South African speech-language therapists have identified the need for culturally valid and sensitive assessment tools that can accommodate multiple languages and cover a reasonable age range. Instructors are the most silent while professors are the least silent. Findings of the study showed that instructors, research assistants and lecturers are more silent compared to assistant professors, associate professors and professors. Causes of faculty members’ silence were found to differ according to age, level of education, academic title and duration of employment in the organisation. In this study, we determined that faculty members remain silent due to organisational regulations, acquiescence, fear of damaging relations with co-workers, fear of damaging relations with supervisor, self-defense and lack of self-confidence respectively. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test. The population of the study includes faculty members of Kocaeli University, Sakarya University and Namık Kemal University (except Faculty of Medicine), and the sample includes 459 faculty members. This study aims to research the causes of faculty members’ silence and whether they differ significantly according to some demographic variables. Much like at universities, usable and accessible school databases are being established, encompassing data on students, teachers, employees, classrooms, grade Ievels, courses, student achievements and behavior, school space, curriculum, finance, inventory, transportation, etc. MIS/DSSs are being implemented with the aim of providing meaningful support for school employees in their daily activities, and to improve their performance, etfectiveness and efficiency. Presently, successful implementation depends on adequate software and on human factors. The term "IT" includes three main components: hardware, software - mainly management information systems (MIS)/decision support systems (DSS) and human factors. A computer on the desk of every educational management statT might become a reality in the near future. A massive and rapid computerization process in schools, school districts and throughout the other Ievels of the educational system, including universities, has made computers an integral part of the educational management scene. Schools, which until recently were lagging behind in the implementation of information technology (IT) in their administration and management, are now attempting to close the gap. Based on the interviews conducted and analysed, international students reported attainment of positive academic experiences in their engagement with Uganda’s education system.Įducational institutions in which administrators, managers and teachers will be working in the late 1990's will be far different from those oftoday. In respect to citizens’ hospitality, the study found that international students are attracted to study in Uganda due to the citizens’ friendliness and safe living environment which they experience during their academic and social life. The key question that this chapter addresses is: What legal-regulatory framework and policy instruments exist that directly or indirectly influence international student’s decision to study in Ugandan universities? The findings indicate that specific policies, legal frameworks and citizens’ hospitality directly and indirectly attract international students’ inflow into Ugandan higher education system. GOU recognizes that implementation of this objective requires the participation of the individual learner, the family, higher education institutions and the respective national government. This phenomenon is attributed to Government of Uganda’s (GOU) goodwill and desire to implement the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4 on ‘Quality Education’. International student mobility in Uganda predates the precolonial period. 12/26/2023 0 Comments Online bible journal![]() You may download and print a copy of content for your personal, non-commercial use.As a user of 2017 Hymnal, you agree to be bound by the Terms and Privacy Policy of the Site, including the Permissions Page which contains the following specific use information about content (such as sheet music, audio recordings, hymn texts, notes and other text) found on 2017 Hymnal: There are no perfect journals it’s all about the way you want to respond to the Word as you’re reading it.Welcome to "2017 Hymnal," a part of Christian Science JSH-Online (the “Site”), owned and operated by The Christian Science Publishing Society. Typically, Bible journaling is done in a Bible, but you can also use a journal, notepad, or devotional. “Bible journaling is your creative response to the Word. Some choose to journal as an expression of private devotion, others journal as an act of worship and there are even some who consider it a creative outlet that can be shared.” Lifeway ![]() With pen in hand, you can visually capture Scripture, meditate on God’s Word and memorize the text. “With Bible journaling, you will find a creative and fresh approach to the age-old discipline of Bible reading. Over time, as you analyze and study the Bible, you can apply what you’ve learned to your life experiences, which may make it easier to overcome difficult situations.” Penzu “A Bible journal is a hybrid diary where you keep both notes on your study of the Bible and a record of things that happen in your everyday life. The end.įinally, this page is the landing page for all things related to the Catholic Journaling Bible and will be updated as new posts are written. Ignore the haters and their supposed idea of what your personal time with Jesus should look like. If you enjoy writing, doodling, drawing, scrapbooking, or being creatively artistic in your Bible, do it. Telling someone they can’t journal or create in their Bible is the equivalent of telling someone they have to drink coffee and sit in an overstuffed chair first thing in the morning to properly spend time with God in His Word. I will only address this briefly because any more would be giving too much attention where it doesn’t belong. There are tabs, washi tape, bookmarks, margin cards, and tip-ins we can add to our Bible the possibilities are as varied and endless as each one of us.Īs with all things in this life, Bible Journaling is not without its detractors. It can be as creative as using Gesso to prep a page and acrylic paints to creatively express ourselves within the pages of our Bible. This time can be recorded by simply marking a date in the corner of the page or underlining a verse or passage. After all, you’ve seen the art supplies, the highlighters (by the way these are my absolute favorite!), the fancy pens, the online classes, the scrapbooking supplies to use in your Bible, and the Youtube videos explaining all the tips and techniques there are for Bible journalers.īible Journaling can be all of the above and even more, but at its foundation, it’s simply spending time with God. But some may argue my definition is oversimplified. ![]() I know, short, sweet, and definitely to the point. ![]() Bible Journaling is spending time with God. To get started, let me share my definition of Bible Journaling. And finally, you can’t mess Bible Journaling up because there is no right or wrong way see my first point. Second, some people use a journaling Bible, in my case I use the Blessed is She Catholic Journaling Bible, but just as many use some type of journal or notebook instead. But before we dig into Bible Journaling, I want to remind you of a couple of things, first, Bible Journaling is as varied as there are people. If you haven’t heard of Bible Journaling, I found a couple of explanations around the internet that I’ll share farther down in this post. Although this page is going to focus on using the Catholic Journaling Bible, the posts are for everyone who practices the spiritual discipline of Bible Journaling. 12/26/2023 0 Comments Separation studio full crackNew Job Proof module for creating a quick Job/Artwork proof to show the customer.Greatly improved CMYK Process color routine with spot and halftone blacks and cleaner colors. ![]() New Custom Color routine that lets you pick the colors to use from your imge. ![]()

Let’s take a look at some of best idea board software organized by ideational style: I have scoured the web in search of the best idea board software for 2022, so you don’t have to do it yourself. Templates, libraries, and integrations have made idea boarding fun and easy. You can create boards within boards and link content across multiple projects. You might take audio notes or attach links, which would not be possible on a physical board. What’s great about digital idea boards is that the ideational capabilities stretch beyond traditional idea boards. To take it to the next level, use a digital idea board. Instead, we recommend keeping track of them by creating mind maps, flow charts, mood boards, spider diagrams – any visualization method for your ideas. These are hard to flesh out, let alone be displayed in a methodical manner that makes sense to everyone. During a meeting or a brainstorming session, your team may contribute ideas, concepts, experiences, visuals, or fleeting thoughts. So, consider putting them on a blank page or a whiteboard instead of stashing them in your mind. What is an idea board?Īs the originator of the Getting Things Done® method, David Allen, put it, “your mind is about having ideas, not holding them.” There are a plethora of options for idea board software that you and your team can use for idea management. Yet where do you put all those ideas that come in swarms when you least expect them? It’s a skill that you cultivate and hone. They result from the conscious and constant pursuit of ideation, of making insightful connections.Ĭreativity is not a mystical talent. Dispel the myth that brilliant ideas just happen. |
