3 scientific habits of mind11/24/2023 Purposeful Communication is a Habit of Mind characterized by the construction of meaning through interactions with texts and people and the creation of new messages. In this General Education program, the following Habits of Mind are developed in meaningful contexts. They will equip students well for life and work after college. Habits of Mind are a set of four usual ways of thinking or ways of engaging with the world. The HoME program at Plymouth State University is designed to help students develop and practice four Habits of Mind. ![]() Courses taken to ensure breadth of knowledge emphasize the relevance and application of methods of inquiry and content to students’ lives. The HoME program is meant to ensure that students develop the skills and dispositions necessary for academic success and lifelong learning, an appreciation of the various ways scholars consider and understand human experience, an appreciation of the process by which different approaches to scholarship can be brought to bear on the same problem, and an action-oriented approach to engagement with the world. The undergraduate Habits of Mind Experience (HoME) program gives students a broad perspective on ideas, an awareness of diverse human experiences and cultures, and the opportunity to develop the skills, confidence, and ways of engaging with the world that will allow them to make a difference. Because of this commitment, Plymouth State University believes that every student must engage with learning experiences that help them to develop strong Habits of Mind. The University measures its excellence, not by the quality of students who enter its doors, but by the quality it adds to those who graduate. Plymouth State University provides opportunities for students to cultivate the mind in ways that will lead them to full awareness as adults, and to lives in which occupational achievement is balanced by social responsibility, cultural experience, and personal happiness.

Adult mesenchymal stem cells11/24/2023 ![]() ![]() The isolation of MSCs from various tissues and their re-implantation at other sites raises questions about the natural in vivo MSCs and their ability to normally repair endogenous tissues, a process that clearly diminishes with age. MSCs grow readily in the culture dish, have intrinsic differentiation potentials not found previously in other cells, and produce an abundance of useful growth factors and cytokines. MSCs have become widely studied over the past ~30 years for their interesting cell biology, broad-ranging clinical potential, and as a central building block in the rapidly growing field of tissue engineering. The expansive and growing field of MSC research is teaching us basic human cell biology as well as how to use this type of cell for cellular therapy in a variety of clinical settings, and while much promise is evident, careful new work is still needed. Developing further methods to understand and unlock MSC potential through intracellular and intercellular signaling, biomedical engineering, delivery methods and patient selection should all provide substantial advancements in the coming years and greater clinical opportunities. ![]() There has been much progress in understanding MSCs over the years, and there is a strong foundation for future scientific research and clinical applications, but also some important questions remain to be answered. The medical utility of MSCs continues to be investigated in over 950 clinical trials. At present, these provide the greatest focus of human MSCs in clinical testing however, the properties of cultured MSCs in vitro suggest they can have broader applications. The MSCs have broad anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory properties. Here, we have focused on human MSCs whenever possible. MSCs were isolated and described about 30 years ago and now there are over 55,000 publications on MSCs readily available. The MSCs can differentiate to important lineages under defined conditions in vitro and in limited situations after implantation in vivo. The terms MSC and MSCs have become the preferred acronym to describe a cell and a cell population of multipotential stem/progenitor cells commonly referred to as mesenchymal stem cells, multipotential stromal cells, mesenchymal stromal cells, and mesenchymal progenitor cells. Raws take a peek11/24/2023 The jpg has exactly the same resolution (number of pixels) as the raw file. If you've set your camera to save your photos as jpg's, then your camera does all that decoding and adjusting for you, creating ready-to-use image files which (if set to the highest size and quality) can be perfectly good enough for most end uses - even selling to a magazine. tiff for super quality) which can finally then be printed or shared online. From this edited raw file, the photographer would then create and save an image file (usually a. A photographer would then carefully adjust things like colours, brightness, sharpness, noise-reduction etc to enhance the image. Different brands and models save this info differently, and it needs to be decoded (using software such as Photoshop, Lightroom etc) before you can even visualise it. It's not really even an image file yet – just a matrix of numbers. A raw file is simply the raw, unedited data collected by the camera's sensor. The most important thing to realise is that inside your camera, all photos basically start life as raw files, even in a compact camera. jpg, and the filename extension for raws is brand dependent (.cr2 for Canon. The choice of saving your photos as jpg, raw (or both) is usually set inside your camera's menu settings, often labeled 'Quality'. The correct answer for you depends on several factors and to make the right decision, you need to know some basic differences – they can be super technical, but I've simplified things here to get you on your way.įor this tutorial we'll start with some general differences and then move on to examine just how much better raw files actually are, using some examples I took with my Canon EOS-1D X set to save both raw and jpg simultaneously, so my comparison photos are identical. ![]() Many people shoot raw when they shouldn't, and others could enjoy better photos if they did. Should I be shooting in raw or jpg, and what's the difference anyway? It's a VERY COMMON and VERY IMPORTANT question we're asked at our courses and safaris. Wacky packages series 4 200611/24/2023 Volition would go on to work on a franchise that would go on to define the developer for the foreseeable future. But that success was mostly short-lived as its sequel, Red Faction 2 didn’t achieve expected sales – which led to both the IPs being put on hold. Given the popularity of open world games where players can do whatever they want and create mayhem, Volition would go on to create a new IP in the form of Red Faction, and this mayhem-focused action-adventure game released in 2001 proved to a turning point for Volition. The studio has left a long legacy of great hits and went through some troubled times during its long lifespan, so let’s take a look at how the studio rose to greatness and eventually shut its door. We have seen many promising studios fall due to such unfortunate scenarios, and the recent closure of developer Volition is the latest in the line of many such cases. And if that risk doesn’t end up paying off, publishers and investors usually resort to strict measures which could range from canceling future projects to downsizing employees to even outright closing the studio itself. ![]() As the cost of development continues to rise with each new console generation, each project comes with a massive amount of risk for the stakeholders. The games industry can be a truly turbulent place, and there’s no telling what may become of a game development studio in a few years’ time. 1972 el camino for sale in texas11/23/2023 ![]() Certain Texas fees may still apply.All sales are subject to a $125.00 Documentation Fee, a 0.217% Texas State Inventory Tax, a $5 Temporary Tag Fee and a $55 Texas State Inspection Fee. ![]() Out of state buyers may register and title vehicle in their home state (same as driver license), however all fees are collected by AutoAmerica and forwarded to buyers home state tax and registration agencies.

This will need to need to include not only what is technically ‘safe and serviceable’, but also what its customers want. During the government’s Road Period 2 (2020-25) Highways England will need to measure its success at delivering good road surface. Transport Focus will continue to work with Highways England to help develop a better way to measure road users’ views about what is smooth and what is not. Highways England should look to increase road users’ awareness of when they are on a road that it manages, working with satellite navigation and mapping providers, and introducing Highways England branding to roadside signage in a safe, cost effective way. ![]() We will be looking to see if we need to revisit a recommendation we made to Highways England in 2019: It seems many drivers aren’t sure who to contact if they want to report a problem. I always report a bad pothole on Waze as it helps me when others have done so.” Male, 35 “In truth I don’t know who to report concerns about a road to, but I’m going to do my research now and make sure that a pothole has been reported. Clarity about who is responsible for the road you are using and how to get in touch to report issues if you need to. Looking ahead, there was also a sense that technology should come up with longer lasting materials that makes this problem go away.Įxploring road surface quality with members of our community highlighted an issue Transport Focus has raised before. A more pleasant, less stressful journey experience is also a factor. It is also partly a sense that these roads are important and ought on principle to be maintained properly. And our other research shows that drivers want road surfaces without dips, bumps and potholes.įor members of our community, worry over road surface is partly about safety – 70 mph roads need to be in tip top condition to be safe. ![]() This is something we know from Transport Focus’s priorities for improvement research. Most felt that the motorways and major ‘A’ roads managed by Highways England were in better condition than roads managed by councils. We recently asked members of our Transport User Community about how road surfaces affect them. But you will always experience the road surface. You might be delayed by roadworks or a crash, or you might experience poor driving by others. What do road users experience on every journey on England’s motorways and major ‘A’ roads? The surface of the road. I reckon it damages tyres as well.” Female, 36 I absolutely hate driving over this and my children hate the noise of it end up covering their ears. “If I could wave a magic wand, one thing I would definitely change is the M25 unsmooth bumpy surface.

Final cut pro vs adobe premiere pro11/23/2023 ![]() The subscription not only gets you program updates, which Adobe delivers semiannually, but also 100GB of cloud storage for syncing media.Īpple Final Cut Pro: Apple's pro video editor costs a flat, one-time price of $299.99. If you want the entire Creative Cloud suite, which includes Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, and a raft of other Adobe creative software, you need to pay $52.99 per month. There are additional student and business pricing tiers. There are three basic options: an annual plan paid up front, which costs $239.88 (working out to $19.99 per month) an annual plan paid monthly, for $20.99 per month or a month-to-month plan, costing $31.49 per month. PricingĪdobe Premiere Pro: Adobe's pro-level video editor requires an ongoing Creative Cloud subscription. ![]() If you beg to differ or strongly agree with the points made along the way, feel free to chime in via the comments section at the bottom of the article. The goal is to help you make a decision based on what's important in your professional or hobbyist video editing projects. The intention of this comparison is not so much to declare a winner as to point out the differences between the two apps and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Both applications are eminently suited to the highest level of movie and TV production, each with extensive plug-in and hardware support ecosystems. But all of the missing elements have long since reappeared in later Final Cut releases-often in ways that improved on the standard tools. When the 64-bit version of Final Cut Pro (then called Final Cut Pro X) was released in 2011, it lacked some tools that pros needed, prompting a market-share shift towards Premiere.
None of my business meme science11/23/2023 ![]() And, as you know, children under age 12 still are not eligible to be vaccinated. So, here in Hamilton County, the vaccination rate remains at about 50 percent - and you talked about the virus that’s spreading. ![]() The most important, thankless job in the world: being on a school board. She’s a Democrat currently running for her local school board. She’s a community resource director for a charter school. I want to introduce you to Andrea Granieri. You’re not going to be in a position where you - where your life is in danger. If you do, you’re not likely to get sick. If you’re vaccinated, even if you do catch the “virus,” quote, unquote - like people talk about it in normal terms - you’re in overwhelm- not many people do. This is overwhelming evidence to sustain that.Īnd so, what I say to people who are worried about a new pandemic is: Get vaccinated. And that’s come to a screeching halt for those who’ve been vaccinated. You know, we’ve lost more people in the United States - over 630-some-thousand people than in every major war we’ve ever fought, in the United States of America. You know, the - this pandemic was out of control. THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m saying - look - (laughs) - it’s a little bit like when I got elected. LEMON: But what do you say to people who are worried about a new round of restrictions and mask mandates and so forth? We’ve made sure that since I got in office, we - we’ve inoculated over 160 million people 85 percent of people over the age of 50. To get - there’s legitimate questions people can ask - that they worry about getting vaccinated - but the questions should be asked, answered, and people should get vaccinated.īut this is not a pandemic. So it’s gigantically important that you act like - we all act like Americans that care about our - our fellow Americans. There’s a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die. Ten thousand people have recently died 9,950 of them, thereabouts, are people who hadn’t been vaccinated. THE PRESIDENT: Well, the virus - look, here’s the - it’s real simple: We have a pandemic for those who haven’t gotten a vaccination. Do you still feel that way? Is that still the case? So, you said last month that this - that the virus is in retreat. New cases are up three - you know, three times since last month. LEMON: Because you know the pandemic is a big concern for everyone, really, around the world. But I have a couple questions I want to ask you. ![]() LEMON: We’re going to get to the audience questions in just a moment. THE PRESIDENT: I’m going to go out in the audience. LEMON: You’d rather stand here and talk to these guys. And I know you don’t want to sit down, right? So, listen, I’m going to get to the audience. THE PRESIDENT: How you doing, pal? Good to see you.
