![]() ![]() They audience knew they would hear about Apple Computer, the Wright Brothers, and Martin Luther King Jr. It is important to note that in addition to hooking his audience, Simon’s introduction established the 3-part architecture of his speech. All I did was codify it, and it’s probably the world’s simplest idea. And it’s the complete opposite to everyone else. ![]() ![]() As it turns out, all the great and inspiring leaders and organizations in the world - whether it’s Apple or Martin Luther King or the Wright brothers - they all think, act and communicate the exact same way. And this discovery profoundly changed my view on how I thought the world worked, and it even profoundly changed the way in which I operate in it. Simon also hooked his audience by teasing them with the delights of secret knowledge:Ībout three and a half years ago I made a discovery. And, moreover, the answer to these questions was his central idea. Importantly, he made sure that all of these questions had the exact same answer. How do you explain when things don’t go as we assume? Or better, how do you explain when others are able to achieve things that seem to defy all of the assumptions? For example: Why is Apple so innovative? … Then why is it that they seem to have something different? Why is it that Martin Luther King led the Civil Rights Movement? … Why him? And why is it that the Wright brothers were able to figure out controlled, powered man flight when there were certainly other teams who were better qualified, better funded … and they didn’t achieve powered man flight, and the Wright brothers beat them to it?Īs I discussed in a previous post ( 3 Best Ways To Start Your Speech), Simon opened with not one, but an entire series of thought-provoking questions. The first is that he started with a series of compelling questions that left the audience hungry for an answer: Simon hooked his audience immediately in two ways. Simon’s idea worth spreading is: ‘To encourage leaders to start with why (then share how and finally reveal what), so that they can inspire others.” In this post, I deconstruct the factors that make his TED Talk so powerful and viral. Business guru Simon Sinek became a TED super-star by combining a simple yet compelling message – “start with why” – with an artful narrative. ![]()

![]() While the Bond films were and are produced with conventional action-film shooting and editing, Furie employed an idiosyncratic approach to filling the wide screen. ![]() Caine played an anti-James Bond, the spy as bespectacled everyman, working in a grimy job with unforgiving bosses. To this day, The Ipcress File remains a textbook demonstration of how the textbook rules can be broken.įurie’s breakthrough film was The Ipcress File two years later, which also made an international star of the British actor Michael Caine. In The Leather Boys in 1963, the kid from Canada delivered a classic of the then popular subgenre of working class tragedies. His reward was a chance to work his way up through the British film industry from low budget horror to rock and roll films to dramas of his own choosing. At the same time, he sold himself as an emerging talent. A Cool Sound from Hell two years later offered a disapproving look at Toronto’s beat generation.įurie worked tirelessly to sell his self-made features to distributors at home and abroad. A Dangerous Age in 1957 was based on his own ill-fated attempt to elope with his girlfriend. Moonlighting from that job, he produced, wrote and directed two of the first English-Canadian features of the current era. He followed that ambition into the nascent CBC television studios, where he soon found himself churning out episodes of a drama series. Although Canada had almost no film industry during the 1930s and ’40s, Furie decided early in life that he wanted to direct films. The story begins in Canada, where Furie was the only child of a Toronto Jewish family. Furie: Life and Films, a lengthy and detailed study that spins fact, commentary and anecdotes galore into a story in itself. Daniel Kremer, a fan, has addressed that neglect in Sidney J. Yet until now, no one has thought to write a book about him. Most people-at least most people of a certain age-have seen his better known films: The Ipcress File, Lady Sings the Blues, The Boys in Company C. The most influential critics of his time have praised or condemned him. He has worked in Canada, Great Britain and Hollywood, rubbing shoulders with the on-screen stars and the off-screen movers and shakers of the business. Furie has directed 50 or so films over the last 60 years. ![]() Intriguingly the film is helmed by director Josie Rourke who an admirable pedigree in directing women in serious drama with the National Theatre and whose feature film debut was 2018’s Mary Queen of Scots.Sidney J. Nan had a one off special in 2014 which was met with generally positive reaction and The Nan Movie trailer looks as thought its adopted the road movie format. Whilst Steve Coogan’s ‘Alan Partridge Alpha Papa’ was a critical success the same can’t be said for ‘ David Brent : Life on the Road‘ which may have been in part to do with Ricky Gervais writing the film without his Office co-writer Stephen Merchant. ![]() TV sitcom to film adaptations have had a notoriously rocky history even more so for stand alone comic characters. Militant vegan arsonists, raucous rugby teams, all night raves and crazed cops on motorbikes all make for a proper day out. An origin story that mixes Nan’s present with her past where we finally find out what’s made her the cantankerous old b*****d she is today. Nan hits the big screen as she goes on a wild road trip from London to Ireland with her grandson Jamie (Mathew Horne) to make amends with her estranged sister Nell (Katherine Parkinson). Catherine Tate’s TV series ran from 2004 – 2009 with its most popular characters being school girl Lauren and cantankerous potty mouthed pensioner Nan and its that OAP who is to get the big screen treatment with the release of The Nan Movie trailer ![]() ![]() (If your flirc application says 'Recorded Successfully', then it worked, even if it suspended your PC.)ĭone!

Different profiles have different defaults in this regard, and I know people use different ones, so I'm just going to tell you how I configured mine:ġ. ![]() ![]() What you'll want to do is tell your Harmony that in fact you do want to control the power of your Shield TV, and then set the Flirc to recognize your profile's power off button. In case anybody is interested, I have figured out how to turn off the Shield TV with Harmony 650+Flirc (or more precisely, put the Shield TV to sleep.) Yes, I'm THAT OCD about keeping my power bill down (not to mention keeping my house cooler in Phoenix summers.) Spent way more time on this than I would like but feel that the solution is close.

I even erased the button and tried to rerecord it but it still doesn't work. All other buttons I have recorded work fine. I hit the button on the remote and nothing happens. I recorded F8 to one of the buttons on my remote but it doesn't seem to work. ![]() Is there any way to do this?Ģ) By connecting a keyboard to the Nvidia Shield Pro TV I discovered that F8 brings up a text (not voice) Search which is perfect. However I would like to better emulate the behavior of the original remote where a quick press of the button instead of a long press of the button brings up the Settings. I captured the Esc key to my remote and when I hold that button down I did in fact confirm it works. From other posts I figured out that I can get this button to work with a long keypress of Esc. However there are three things I have not been able to figure out:ġ) The new Nvidia Shield Pro TV remote has a Settings button on it.

The missing frames didn’t make a huge difference to the final outcome of the video. We found that importing video was easy but it did drop a few frames. The simplicity of this program lies in the media window because that is where you get everything you need. Underneath both windows is the timeline where all the editing takes place. On the top are two windows, the video preview window with the media window next to it. Here you will see a simple three window setup.

With simple yet effective menus and an easy to understand timeline, this would be a great tool for the beginner editor. This is a simple introductory editing software straight from across the pond – the United Kingdom. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s so relieving to actually be able to reasonably know what to expect in terms of experience and character growth.īeyond that, the old EXP system is also in place, but this time around, EXP is not applied to one class at a time, it’s applied to one attribute at a time. If a character is deployed and takes action, that person will get the class experience at the end of a battle, so long as he/she wasn’t captured - and you know this. Characters gain these class level-ups by participating in battles - and you know this. A character who gained a few levels as one job before becoming another will usually keep better stats in the transition - and you know this. Once again unlike Valkyria Chronicles 2, there is reliability and predictability in the growth system, which was sorely missed. ![]() It also improves the game as a whole, thanks to the amount of strategy in the class changes. This isn’t simply making the game “easier,” but more streamlined it fixes a broken system. Didn’t like how that worked out? Then change him back to a shocktrooper, or try something else. Want to make Kurt a sniper? You can, right away, without having to spend any points. In Valkyria 3, however, class changes can be done by any character at any time. This somewhat broken system led to a frustrating amount of badge grinding. The problem with the second game’s system was that changing classes required spending “badges,” which were earned almost completely at random among battle participants. The second featured a deeper class system and enables class changes and upgrades among individual members, in addition to the first game’s EXP system. As players may recall, the first game had players using EXP to give all-encompassing level-ups to all members of any given class, which worked well enough. Soldier progression in Valkyria Chronicles 3 is the best it’s been in the series. (After clearing either battle A or battle B, the unpicked fight will become unavailable, because doing both would be nonsensical Back to the Future fodder.) This is a welcome touch of non-linearity for a series that hasn’t had much of it. ![]() The player can look over the terrain, enemies, items up for grabs and winning conditions before choosing, but only one path can be picked. For example, sometimes there will be options like “Cut the enemy off and fight head on, in the woods” appearing on the map as A, whereas battle B is “Go around the hills and meet them in town” or some similar scenario. One could replay skirmishes, and in the epilogue could redo story battles, but never were there two clearly different paths before the player. In the first two games, the story battles happened at set times and places, and that was that. Players will often be given options as to what course of action they’d prefer en route to the story goal - something completely new to the series. At the end of a chapter, players are presented with a new map featuring a different part of the war zone, but at any time between segments, one can turn back to previous maps and replay its skirmish or story scenes. Things must move in chronological order though, so not all cutscenes or battles will be immediately available. Each chapter begins with a section of a map, upon which a home base, battle locations, and story points are marked. While the first game used a story book as its base of navigation, and the second went with an overhead view of a military school campus, the third now goes with maps of battlefields. This is partially thanks to the quality of Sega’s concept, but also thanks to new twists that continue to keep things fresh. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and just like before, it’s easy to sink in a lot of hours without regretting a moment. ![]() The first game put a genre-changing spin on tactical RPGs, and the sequels thankfully haven’t looked back. The main attraction to Valkyria Chronicles 3 is the same thing it’s been in all Valkyria games: the battle system. ![]() ![]() ![]() Final Thoughtsįinding a good pair of speakers is a task. The drummers have done a commendable job in this song. The wonderfully played instruments should sound coming from a wide stage. With Space in Mind by Mark Nauseef is a contemporary percussion recorded in a live space and on the right speakers, the lows should sound killer.

Xavier Slim Updated 22 days ago A powerful remote access application ![]() ![]() Today, neuropsychologists often use the idea of working memory instead of short-term memory. And if a sentence is too long, readers may have much more difficulty understanding the meaning of it. For example, it requires short-term memory for a reader to understand what this sentence is about, because the reader’s brain has to retain information about the words that construct this sentence. Short-term memory has a limited capacity. Information in the short-term memory remains in the consciousness after it has been produced. Short-term memory is the retention of information for a short period of time (which is comparatively longer than the transient sensory memory). Sensory memory also allows our brain to select the aspects of inputs to be processed in our short-term and long-term memories later. Sensory memory is the momentary retention of information in our sensory organs (less than two seconds) after the external stimulus has ceased. ![]() The model states that there are three types of memory stores dominating a human brain: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory (3). In 1968, psychologists Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin proposed their multi-memory model. In the former case, it is likely that you are going to forget the series of numbers after having a little stretch and going out for a meal in the latter case, however, you probably would not forget your address even after months of journey away from home.įigure 1: Schematic diagram of long-term memory Even more drastic is the difference between long-term and short-term memories: hearing a series of numbers and trying to reproduce them after a few seconds is different from retrieving your house number from long-term memory. Remembering an event or a person’s face is very different from recalling that five plus five equals ten, which is also distinct from the memory of how to brush one’s teeth. It is intuitive to see that memories exist in different forms. Following Milner’s footsteps, modern neuroscientists started looking into the precise functions of neurons and their contributions to different types of memories. This syndrome is a type of amnesia in which the patient is incapable of acquiring new long-term memory, but the patient’s past memories and other cognitive abilities such as language, short-term memories, perception, and reasoning are intact (2). However, rigorous inquiry into the neuropsychological function of the brain began with Brenda Milner, a British neuropsychologist who conducted a series of tests on patients suffering from “medial temporal lobe amnesic” syndrome. Few discussions related memory to the biological processes inside the brain. These writings were largely based on philosophical and psychological theories. One of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century, Bertrand Russell, said that “this analysis of memory is probably extremely faulty, but I do not know how to improve it” (1).Įarly writings about memory from the nineteenth century focused on different types of learning and memory processes and disagreed on whether an integral system of memory exists. This idea of memory as a “wax tablet” was disagreed with later by many other prominent thinkers. To Plato, memory is analogous to the impressions on the “wax tablet” of our malleable mind left by the weight of our experiences. ![]() As early as around 400 BC, Plato wrote about his view of memory in Theaetetus. Memory has been an enigma to philosophers and scientists throughout human history. Memory is the ability to retain, reactivate, and reconstruct experience-dependent information. Too good to be true? Research into memory and its enhancements tell us that the Memory Bread may not be too far from reality. When the bread is pressed into any page of a book, the bread owner will develop immediate photographic memory of the book. Born from Japanese science fiction anime Doraemon, Memory Bread captures every Asian student’s fantasies. Ever hoped Harry Potter had an instantaneous memory spell for you right before exams? Well, there is currently no memory spell, but what you really need is Memory Bread. ![]() |
