![]() The life of people is like Sisyphus’s climbs and our every achieved goal resembles every Sisyphus’s step. What seems to be senseless to one man requires a deep meaning for another man.Īccording to Taylor each human life resembles the myth about Sisyphus. The difference is that the notion of meaning may be interpreted in different ways by every man. Every human deed may be explained and has certain goals and as a result, it has meaning. Every new generation differs from others but all people try to find the meaning of their valuable life.įactually, all human activities have the point but this point may be difficult to understand by other people at sight. The mankind has the history while the animals do not. ![]() The only difference is that we have consciousness about what we do and how we do and this consciousness claims to find the meaning in everything done by us. Factually, we have found the meaning for these actions and they seem to be meaningful for us. For example, the sunrise and sunset or regularly rains are repeated regularly and it may seem to be meaningless for the essence of action itself but we understand the importance of these actions. There are a lot of examples of endless repetitions surrounding us. The life that seems to be meaningless may acquire a meaning for a particular person. We may explain the essence of existence if we find the meaning of human actions. It helps to observe the myth about Sisyphus in another way. Any activity has meaning if there is a resultant culmination of it. Taylor provides the definition of meaninglessness in his work: “meaninglessness is essentially endless pointlessness” (p. Factually, the essence of toil is not changed from this point of view but Sisyphus’s attitude is presented in another way in this presupposition. Sisyphus may be presented as a happy man who likes to roll stones and he wants this work to be endless. In this case, the gods are presented by Taylor as merciful towards the fate of Sisyphus. In this case, if Sisyphus likes to do what he is doing his life is happy.įrom this point of view, it is not the punishment for Sisyphus to roll the stone as far as he wants to do it. He imagines that the gods making such punishment to Sisyphus may inspire him to do his work. Another presupposition provided by Taylor is the desire to work. As far as we do not observe such results of Sisyphus’s work the conclusion of meaningless seems to be justified. If they do not find them they make the conclusion that everything has been done in vain. People are accustomed to see the results of their work. He imagines if “all these stone instead of rolling back to their places as if they had never been moved, were assembled at the top of the hill and there incorporated, say, in a beautiful and enduring temple, then the aspect of meaningless would disappear” (Taylor, p. Taylor presents another picture of this myth. It is a well-known truth that “A cat in gloves catches no mice”. The results may be achieved only if people work hard. Taylor interprets the myth in another way.įactually, he points out that Sisyphus has the aim namely to roll the stone to the top of the hill but the gods make this toil pointless as a kind of punishment for him. It has been believed that it symbolizes the perpetual rising and setting of the sun, others understand it as man’s eternal struggle and unquenchable spirit (Taylor, p. His every day is a sort of struggle and this struggle is for nothing. Sisyphus does not have any sense of life doing the repetitive toil. This myth presents the meaningless existence of a human being. He rolls the stone to the top of the hill and the stone then immediately backs down and Sisyphus has to do one and the same work all his life. His punishment is senseless about his work. Sisyphus is known to be punished by the gods for his betrayal. Richard Taylor’s point of view is opposed to the ancient myth of Sisyphus that presupposes the meaninglessness of life.

You can do anything you could do with a normal mouse and keyboard, plus much more. Mobile Mouse instantly transforms your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch into a wireless trackpad, remote, keyboard, and MUCH more for your Mac or Windows PC ![]() Fighting, or gathering resources is done with the a single button, and the rest of the screen in both your browser or on your phone is filled with inventory, character statistics, and other useful hotkeys. ![]() The game is pretty straight forward, you either walk with the joystick or use the WASD buttons on the keyboard. The controls aren’t very difficult to use either. Jumping into the game you are thrown right in the Newbie Village, and you are given small tasks to learn the basics of the game. This game is a bit of a mixture between Minecraft and Runescape, while the farming elements in Mystera Legacy also remind me of the likes of Stardew Valley. Mystera Legacy is a 2D MMORPG sandbox game that is very familiar, made in the style of a lot of the iconic Game Maker Pro games, or other flash games. But sometimes you find a game that has very basic controls, ones of the likes that remind you of a lot of handheld games, and Mystera Legacy falls right into that category. Despite MMORPGs taking off on this quickly growing platform, I just really dislike the controls and how small the screen is. I never really look at the Play Store and just download random games to check them out. I have to be honest, I am not a huge fan of games that can be played on your mobile device. Mystera Legacy is another one of these games, that I personally wouldn’t have found if I weren’t told about it, even though they are on the Play Store and the game is fully playable in the browser! Yet the majority of their players ran into these games by blind luck, and it shows how incredibly difficult it still is for smaller studios and development teams to have their game advertised and shown to every fan. Many of these games look very charming, and definitely have found a niche to be successful in. A lot of the major MMORPGs we can look forward to are either delayed, or still heavily being worked on, so there isn’t quite a lot to look forward to unless you check out the many indies you can find around. ![]() The application also allows you to synchronize it with your Google Reader account, if you have one. All your feeds are available on the left panel (for testing purposes we'll use the Classic layout). They can easily be arranged in any order by using drag and drop, if needed. Right clicking one of them will give you access to options like Mark as Read, Search or Filter the selected feed and will also allow you to share the selected feed on 26 social media websites, including Facebook, Twitter or Delicious. This is an interesting feature, since it allows you to spread hot news right from your feed reader (before the feed is posted, the application will open a browser window and ask for your permission). The layout type that feels a little awkward is the List view, mainly because the user doesn't receive any summary for the selected news. By default, double clicking any article will open it in your default browser, however you can change this by going to the Preferences panel, in Browser settings. RSSOwl comes with an integrated browser, that will allow you to open the selected news right within the application. While this is an interesting feature, adopted by more and more feed readers, it's really generic and doesn't really bring anything new to the table. At times, it can prove to be a nuisance, especially when trying to open items while feeds are updated (It worked after clicking the item 5-6 times). ![]() The menus above the news window allow you to filter your feeds. For example, the first menu enables users to view certain types of news, based on various criteria like new or unread, sticky, labeled or the ones from the last 5 days. The second menu lets you create news groups using different criteria such as author, date, feed, state, stickiness or label. ![]() News groups are an interesting feature because they allow you to sort the news any way you want to.Ībove the Feeds and News windows you'll find the application toolbar. PROBLEMS TO START RSSOWL UPDATEįrom here you an can add new feeds, create feed folders, batch update the feeds or update them individually, search feeds, mark them as read, or sticky. RSSOwl's toolbar basically contains the same items which are available by right clicking news or feeds. The View menu, accessible from the menu bar, brings some interesting features, like zooming text in or out, or changing the number of columns (by choosing only relevant columns: Tile, Date, Author or Category, among others). ![]() SDFX's works 100% locally on your device, so your photos & data never exits your device at all.

It is expected that the intern will be a coauthor on at least one major publication that includes data collected in 2022. The intern would be expected to work 6 days a week with one full week off at some point during the internship. The intern will also benefit from working at STRI, which hosts scientists from all over the world in a premiere research setting. On our project, the intern will be part of a diverse, international group of scientists (undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and professors) from several different institutions. These may include: live capture and handling of lizards, habitat surveys, lizard activity surveys, behavioral assays, estimating thermal tolerance and performance, respirometry (measurement of metabolic rates), handling and operating a small boat, mark-recapture techniques, measurement of morphological traits, blood and tissue extraction, dissection, molecular techniques including PCR and microbiome studies, controlled photography and analysis of coloration, use of drones, and captive care and maintenance of lizards. The intern will learn a set of diverse skills. The intern will have the opportunity to get involved in a range of projects that we are conducting as a part of the broader goals of our research. ![]() We are tracking survival and reproductive success of lizards on each of these islands to understand how phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation may affect their probability of extinction in a warming world. We have established a long-term field experiment whereby we have transplanted hundreds of slender anole lizards (Anolis apletophallus) to small islands in Lake Gatun (Panama Canal) which vary in their thermal conditions. Unfortunately, we know little about how these processes will play out as climate change progresses and whether they can meaningfully reduce extinction probabilities. However, it is possible that adaptive processes such as phenotypic plasticity and genetic change may help mitigate the negative effects of a warming environment. Tropical ectotherms, having evolved in the relatively stable climate near the equator, are considered especially vulnerable to climate change. ![]() At least one mentor will be at STRI at all times, though the day-to-day operations will be led by postdoctoral researchers and graduate students. The internship will be located primarily at the Gamboa Lab in Gamboa, Panama (and nearby Soberania National Park), and will also involve occasional trips to Barro Colorado Island (BCI) and the surrounding smaller islands in Lake Gatun. Phenotypic Plasticity, Evolution, and the Response of Tropical Lizards to a Rapidly Warming World Mentor name That year, my friend Danielle Esposito came in first and I got a second. Like this year, I had just stepped up into a new age group then too (guest star, 11-13), as an 11 year old and was intimidated by the awesome dance of the 13 year olds. I went back and looked at a post I wrote in 2014 when I attended Hollywood Connection as an 11 year old. I did not expect that I would be good enough to compete with older dancers who have had many more years of training. I was overwhelmed.Īs a 15 year old dancer, I am now one of the youngest of the Producer (Senior) group – 14-19 year old dancers. I am happy to say that five of my dances were given Titanium scores at Hollywood Connection. It is the highest award that the judges give for dances. One of my goals for the year is to get a double platinum or Titanium score (perfect or nearly perfect score). If you know my mom and dad or my mentor Liz Imperio, they are into strategic planning and goal setting. On a personal level, I accomplished one of my goals for this year as a dancer. It worked out great! They loved it and she won! I had no clue how the judges would react to the dancer I helped train do perform the choreography that I created. Watching your choreography on stage for the first time is a completely different experience. This led to me choreographing a hip-hop solo for a 12 year old dancer, and assistant choreographer to our production hip-hop dance. DPAC has allowed me teach 5 classes a week at the studio. This year was an entirely new set of firsts for me. I am so thankful for the encouragement and opportunity to do what I love. This core group was teaching there back in 2012-2014 when our studio first introduced me to them. ![]() I can gratefully say that those many weekends of working with Executive Director Kimberly Rhinelander, Executive Director and Agent Bill Bohl, Jazz teacher Lindsley Allen, Lyrical Mitchel Federal, Jazz Funk Brooklyn Jai, Musical Theater Bonnie Story, Tap Jason Kalish, and Hip Hop Gigi Torres shaped by love of dance and introduced me to the industry as a professional dancer. As Icon of the Year, I spent a year touring with them as their DOTY. ![]() In so many ways, going back to Hollywood Connection was like a family reunion. They were my first agents, and sent me out on my first auditions as a 10 year old, launching my professional dance career. Hollywood Connection is also owned in part by my first talent agency, MTA. Hollywood Connection was the convention that awarded me my first National Dancer of the Year Award in 2012, an award they call Icon of the Year. I am pretty sure that Hollywood Connection was the first competition that I ever went to. It was the first time that Dellos Performing Arts Center (DPAC) has returned to HC since 2014. Hollywood Connection in Burbank was fantastic this year. New music, unit art, and voice lines were also added. Released on October 15th, 2020, this DLC added content for Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria updating their National Focuses to better interact with one another based on historical and possible paths. Portugal got a new national focus tree, France's tree was updated, and Spain also got an update for its civil war tree. Countries can now build up their spy agency, recruit spies, and better prepare themselves. Released on February 25th, 2020 that focused on adding a new espionage system.

Released on June 14th, 2017, and focused on new national focuses for Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia and the ability to update old equipment and utilize captured enemy equipment. Released on December 15th, 2016 this DLC added new mechanics between puppet states and the nations that control them, new content for Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the British Raj, and Canada. Since launch HOI4 has added on several pieces of DLC which expands the base games scope and content. Every country can also join a faction, once they reach the requirements, that can assist them in conquests or provide a common defense against the belligerents of the world. Each country will also have its own industry, army, navy, air force, production, construction, and resources to manage in order to make the country and bigger threat or provide an improved defense. Each major country has its own set of national focuses that can keep the country on a historically accurate path or defy and alter history. Players take control of a country during the ramp-up towards World War 2 and guide the country throughout the years of conflict. The world in 19 scenario begins on January 1, 1936. The game has an easier learning curve than its predecessor and incorporates the concept of national ideas from Europa Universalis IV. Hearts of Iron IV offers two scenarios for the player, either one where you start in 1936 or 1939, whichever one you decide to pick, it will ultimately determine what type of start you will get. Hearts of Iron IV is a real-time strategy game developed and published by Paradox Interactive, and is the sequel to Hearts of Iron III.
