I created Menagerie: Archive to give you something to share alongside the Kickstarter, and so far, I feel like it has hardly reached a fraction of the people who would actually be interested in it. If you care about this happening but can’t support the Kickstarter directly, please just tell people about it. However, not nearly enough people are aware that this is happening, and I’ve been struggling to get the word out. For promoting this third Kickstarter, I actually created a full new free spinoff game, Menagerie: Archive. This is the third and final attempt at launching this Kickstarter, and if it doesn’t get funded in time, the games simply won’t happen. There’s 10 days left now, and only €3979/€12000 have been raised so far.

Friends can be a source of encouragement and support, or they can be like a magnet for your fear. Trust is crucial in any relationship and you really should pick your friends wisely. It’s important when choosing friends or partners that they will be there for you when things get tough. We all need to be around people who encourage us in whatever we are trying to do, which means those relationships need to be supportive and nurturing. When we make a conscious decision to swap old negative beliefs for new empowering ones, we also swap old habits for new ones with ease. That’s because our beliefs are the bedrock of our individuality and our behavior results from those beliefs. When we make the choice to change our beliefs, it changes our behavior. It’s important to note that these fears could be based on a belief system that is not serving you. You can learn to think differently and change your behavior. Second, try role-playing any challenging situation with a friend or parent so you can get comfortable handling these situations.įourth, use the art of visualization to create a mental picture of yourself achieving whatever you are afraid of (imagining the outcome will make it more real to you).įinally, give yourself permission to have a voice that tells you when you’re thinking thoughts that don’t serve you. I think there are five things we can do to work through our fears: first, let your inner child explore what scares her and tap into her joy. If your fear isn’t justified, then you should let it go however, if you’re taking actions in response to fear, you need to let go of that behavior and find a different way to approach life. It’s simply a signal that you should pay attention to and ask yourself whether it’s time for a new approach or idea. How to let your faith be bigger than your fear? The good news is that you don’t have to be afraid of these things instead, you can learn to manage your fears and use them as tools. It’s like having a built-in compass to help you navigate life. Since your birth, you’ve developed an emotional radar for anything that might threaten what you value most. The problem is that when fear takes control of our lives, it can stop us from getting what we want for a long time. When we act in ways that are based on fear, we are simply tapping into the survival mechanisms that helped our ancestors protect themselves. If you allow your fear to guide your behavior, smallness and limitation will rule your life however, if you harness the power of fear to make positive changes in your life, nothing can stop you from achieving success and happiness. When fear is not managed or channeled in a positive way, it can become debilitating, but only if you let it. Fear is a signal of what matters most to you. I think we’re all afraid of something and it’s important that we’re honest about our fears. ![]() But, no matter how difficult things might seem, you can overcome your fear and move forward if you your faith is bigger than your fear. Whether it’s fear of public speaking, fear of asking your boss for a promotion, or fear of letting go of a bad relationship, a little of fear is just natural. Let your faith be bigger than your fearįear is a normal human emotion, but it can quickly spiral out of control and hold us back from trying new things. ![]() ![]() ![]() Professional baseball player, Colorado Rockies and New York Yankees Gold Cup Champion, Four-time Texas State Champion, ABA World #6 ('95) and #4 ('99), Over 25 career National Main Event victories Professional football player - New York Giants, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, San Diego ChargersīMX Cycler - 1991 Silver Medal, Pepsi Games of Texas, Two-time U.S. Professional Snowboarder, Four Time World Champion, Three Time US Champion, Godfather of Freeriding Professional football player - Ottawa, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg (CFL) Silver medal in crew, '84 Olympics and crew member, Stars and Stripes, winner of the America's Cup Professional Football player - Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots NHL defenseman on five Stanley Cup Championships Professional football player, Oakland Raiders Professional football player, Denver Broncos Professional baseball player, Texas Rangers Professional football player, Cincinnati Bengals Professional football player, New York Jets Professional football player, Edmonton (CFL) Professional baseball player, New York Yankees Professional football player - New York Giantsįormer President/COO of the National Hockey League Professional football player - Minnesota Vikings Organizer of the 1984 Summer Olympics and Commissioner of Major League BaseballĬhairman, 1987 Pan Am Games organizing committeeįootball player - Dallas Texans (AFL) and Kansas City Chiefsįormer head football coach, University of Florida Head football coach, University of South Carolina, NCAA Football National Champion as Coach of Notre Dame in 1988 Professional football player - Chicago Bearsġ952 Olympic gold medalist (steeplechase) President, National League Baseball and GM of the New York Yankees Professional football player - Regina Roughriders, Canadian Football League Hall of Famer Member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fameįounder New York Knicks, NBA Hall of Fame coachįormer head football and golf coach at Florida State University Major League Baseball player, Boston NationalsĬanadian Football League - Quarterback, Coach, Hall of Fame World Series pitcher with the Philadelphia A's Representative for Ohio's 15th congressional district.

According to Samsung this is a problem that is solved on the R&D scale but still needs to be scaled to manufacturing. Polarizer redesign - Due to the fact that QDs depolarize light, the 2nd polarizer must move before QDs in the optical path (in cell).Scientists have been working on overcoming these hurdles, many of which have seen significant progress recently. The technical challenges associated with this technology are very different than the challenges required to implement QD films. No new technology comes easy, and QD color filters are no exception. I know what you are thinking, if there are all these advantages, why haven't people already done this? Technical hurdles These are just a few of the advantages of QD color filters over QD films. Thinner panel - Reduced components and in-cell polarizer means an overall thinner display.Lower light flux and temperature - Further from LED source and after the liquid crystal and polarizers means it's a less harsh environment for the QDs to withstand.As viewers we should see a dramatic difference in wide angle viewing. Wider viewing angle - QDs emit in all directions and are closer to the front of the screen.This can bring huge improvements in efficiency and brightness (see table to the right from Nanosys) Brighter/more efficient - Light conversion (blue to red/green) happens after the liquid crystal layer and other optical films.Now, instead of blocking light the color filter is converting light! The two diagrams below summarize the differences in a QD film display, and a QD color filter display (images courtesy of Samsung Display). In a QD color filter, there would be only red and green QD layers, and the blue sub-pixel would be empty which would allow for transmission of the blue LED backlight (remember, displays using QDs have blue LEDs, not white ones). QDs can also be dispersed in polymers and cured (QLED TVs all have films of QDs in a photopolymer after all), so it makes perfect sense to consider replacing the current colored dyes with quantum dots to make an active component instead of a passive one. Each color must be deposited and patterned over a large area independently using a combination of UV-curing, etching, and thermal processing (hard bake) to pattern and harden the photopolymer. Current color filters are made by patterning photoresists (the same technology used to make computer chips). QD color filters coupled with a blue LED could give far better color than current white LED + color filter (potentially even better than QD films, see table below). QDs could act as a direct replacement of current color filter technology, using red and green QDs to replace current colored materials (with the blue sub-pixel being non-colored). If you look very closely at your TV, you might be able to make out individual pixels and sub-pixels (red, green, and blue). It could be useful to refer back to this image throughout this post. The structure below also outlines the various components in a modern display so you can see where all the components are in relation to one another. If you are not familiar, I recommend reviewing this technology in the following video (there are many others out there, this is just one example with good animation, if you want a more in-depth review, look here). This blog post will require an understanding of how an LED/LCD display (like your tablet, computer monitor, or TV) functions. I wrote in the past about quantum dots on chip as a game-changing technology for displays and lighting (which is true) but many people believe that QDs may find their way into color filters before they make it on chip.Ī quick thank you up front to folks at Samsung, Nanosys, and Nanoco who were willing to talk with me about their work on QD color filters in preparation for this blog post. Quantum dot (QD) color filters are becoming a hot topic in the display world lately, so I thought it would make sense to educate people on this technology and how it may change the quantum dot display (QLED) landscape. No, I have not seen one for myself, but you and I may soon have that opportunity. That's what people are saying after seeing TVs that contain QD color filters. ![]() ![]() What is constructivist pedagogy?Ĭonstructivist teaching strategies help students understand the meaning of their learning materials, instead of just passively ingesting content. Here, we outline nine pedagogical approaches that help students develop higher-order thinking skills and provide a more nuanced understanding of how their learnings fit into the world around them. By implementing activities from different pedagogical techniques in your classroom, you’ll ensure students can tackle learning in a way that best meets their needs. There are countless pedagogies that can help you engage students. Others, particularly in the U.K., say “pe-de-gaw-jee,” with more of an “ugh” sound in the middle, and replace the “go” sound with “gaw.” The Merriam-Webster dictionary suggests it should be “pe-de-go-je” (or ga). and U.S., it’s often pronounced “ped-a-gaug-gee” (as in “geese”) though some use the “j” sound and pronounce it “paidag-o-jee” (as in the seventh letter of the alphabet, “g”.) ![]() The International Phonetic Alphabet pronunciation is ˈpɛdəˌɡoʊdʒi/ /ˈpɛdəˌɡɑdʒi/. Pedagogy is pronounced differently in various countries. Students can leverage their preferred learning styles with a teaching process that supports them, and the way they like to learn. ![]() ![]() The proper approach helps students move beyond simple forms of thinking as defined in the Bloom’s taxonomy pyramid, like basic memorization and comprehension, to complex learning processes like analysis, evaluation, and creation. And it can, in turn, impact student perception, resulting in cooperative learning environments. Being mindful of the way you teach can help you better understand how to help students achieve deeper learning. Having a well-thought-out pedagogy can improve the quality of your teaching and the way students learn, helping them gain a deeper grasp of fundamental material. This must be taken into account in order to best support them in retaining new ideas, learning new ways of problem-solving, and strengthening independent thinking. Adults are primarily driven by intrinsic motivation and can solve complex problems relying on past experiences. Andragogy is the facilitation of learning for adults, who are self-directed learners. This means that it is up to the instructor to determine how, what and when course concepts are learned. Pedagogy is the teaching of children or dependent personalities. Paidagogos were slaves tasked with taking boys to school and back, teaching them manners and tutoring them. In a literal sense, the word pedagogy stems from the Greek word that effectively means “the art of teaching children.” More specifically, agogos means leader in Greek, and pedagogue refers to the teacher. It isn’t about the materials used, but the process and the strategy adopted to lead to the achievement of meaningful cognitive learning. Shaped by the educator’s own experiences, pedagogy must take into consideration the context in which learning takes place, and with whom. For educators, the aim is to present the curriculum in a way that is relevant to student needs. The goal is to help students build on prior learning and develop skills and attitudes. Pedagogy requires meaningful classroom interactions between educators and learners. ![]() Pedagogy, meaning the relationship between learning techniques and culture, is determined based on an educator’s beliefs about how learning takes place. Curriculum refers to the material being taught. The definition of pedagogy refers to how we teach-the theory and practice of educating. Pedagogy is often confused with curriculum.

Cmd.exe added additional commands, and implemented existing ones in a slightly different way, so that the same batch file (with different extension) might work differently with cmd.exe and COMMAND.COM. Windows NT introduced an enhanced 32-bit command interpreter ( cmd.exe) that could execute scripts with either the. ![]() Unlike Windows 98 and earlier, the Windows NT family of operating systems does not depend on MS-DOS. The named program can be a script file this is similar to the #! mechanism used by Unix-like operating systems. This passes the batch file to the program named on the EXTPROC file as a data file. OS/2's batch file interpreter also supports an EXTPROC command. IBM and Microsoft started developing this system, but during the construction of it broke up after a dispute as a result of this, IBM referred to their DOS-like console shell without mention of Microsoft, naming it just DOS, although this seemingly made no difference with regard to the way batch files worked from COMMAND.COM. It also included a version of REXX, a more advanced batch-file scripting language. The IBM OS/2 operating system supported DOS-style batch files. Windows 3.1x and earlier, as well as Windows 9x invoked COMMAND.COM to run batch files. bat type file from Windows in the MS-DOS Prompt. In the earlier versions, one could run a. In order to start it, the WIN command was used, which could be added to the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to allow automatic loading of Windows. Microsoft Windows was introduced in 1985 as a graphical user interface-based (GUI) overlay on text-based operating systems and was designed to run on DOS. bat file name extension identifies a file containing commands that are executed by the command interpreter COMMAND.COM line by line, as if it were a list of commands entered manually, with some extra batch-file-specific commands for basic programming functionality, including a GOTO command for changing flow of line execution. Computer users would have the AUTOEXEC.BAT file set up the system date and time, initialize the DOS environment, load any resident programs or device drivers, or initialize network connections and assignments.Ī. When DOS loads, the file AUTOEXEC.BAT, when present, is automatically executed, so any commands that need to be run to set up the DOS environment may be placed in this file. In MS-DOS, a batch file can be started from the command-line interface by typing its name, followed by any required parameters and pressing the ↵ Enter key. Some of the detail in this article applies to all batch files, while other details apply only to certain versions. The detailed handling of batch files has changed significantly between versions. btm in 4DOS, 4OS2 and 4NT related shells. Batch files for other environments may have different extensions, e.g. Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, have a similar, but more flexible, type of file called a shell script. When a batch file is run, the shell program (usually COMMAND.COM or cmd.exe) reads the file and executes its commands, normally line-by-line. Similar to Job Control Language (JCL), DCL and other systems on mainframe and minicomputer systems, batch files were added to ease the work required for certain regular tasks by allowing the user to set up a script to automate them. ![]() The term "batch" is from batch processing, meaning "non-interactive execution", though a batch file might not process a batch of multiple data. A batch file may contain any command the interpreter accepts interactively and use constructs that enable conditional branching and looping within the batch file, such as IF, FOR, and GOTO labels. It consists of a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter, stored in a plain text file. A batch file is a script file in DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A sentinel lymph node biopsy is a surgical. This calls into question the conventional model that the capacity for a primary breast tumour to metastasize increases as the tumour enlarges.īreast cancer Distant metastases Lymph node metastases Mortality Tumour size. The sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node (or few lymph nodes) to which breast cancer cells may travel. The relationship between tumour size, lymph node status and distant metastases in patients with invasive breast cancer is not linear. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs that help fight infection and are found throughout the body. For very small tumours (under 10 mm) and for very large tumours (larger than 60-90 mm) there was little correlation between tumour size and metastasis risk. The incidence of axillary lymph node metastasis in pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is < 1 therefore, in principle, pure DCIS patients do not need to undergo axillary surgery, yet unnecessary axillary surgeries are performed too often 1, 2.Nevertheless, it is estimated that 13.337. For each 1- or 10-mm size group, we determined the proportion of patients with positive lymph nodes at diagnosis, the proportion of patients with distant metastases at diagnosis and the actuarial cumulative risk of breast cancer-specific mortality at 15 years from diagnosis.Īmong 819,647 patients with invasive breast tumours between 1 and 150 mm in size, there was a non-linear correlation between increasing tumour size and the prevalence of lymph node metastases at diagnosis (% node-positive), the prevalence of distant metastases at diagnosis (% stage IV) and the 15-year rate of breast cancer-specific mortality across the entire size spectrum. Primary tumour size was examined as a continuous (1-150 mm) and categorical variable (15 size groups 10-mm intervals). Natalie Stephens, M.D., Medical Director, Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program, explains what it means if breast cancer spreads to the lymph nodes. All patients in the cohort had a known primary tumour size between 1 and 150 mm in greatest dimension. We examined the relationship between primary tumour size, lymph node status and distant metastases in a cohort of 819,647 women diagnosed with first primary invasive breast cancer from 1990 to 2014 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registries database. This coarse classification may obscure a nuanced description of the effects of tumour size across the full range of possible sizes. Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system, which is a complex network of nodes and vessels. This calls into question the conventional model that the capacity for a primary breast tumour to metastasize increases as the tumour enlarges. However, this relation is based on studies which combine all tumours smaller than 1.0 cm in a single category and all tumours larger than 5.0 cm in another category. Conclusions: The relationship between tumour size, lymph node status and distant metastases in patients with invasive breast cancer is not linear. ![]() In patients with breast cancer, increasing tumour size at diagnosis is associated with an increased likelihood of axillary lymph node involvement and increased breast cancer-specific mortality. ![]() |
