7/31/2023 0 Comments Ravio no maskAnd then there's the possibility you could transmit the virus to others at risk of severe COVID and death from the virus.Īnd what if you test positive and have risks: say, you're older, immunocompromised or have underlying health conditions such as obesity, heart disease, a compromised immune system or diabetes. So is it ok to just blithely dismiss a case of COVID?Įven if you're an individual with no health risks and you catch the virus, there are things to worry about: just plain feeling awful is possible even if you're not high-risk. And the truth is that the world now has better tools and treatments for COVID than for some age-old diseases: from the readily available self-tests to vaccines and boosters to the paxlovid pill to lessen severity for higher-risk patients. a health policy epidemiologist with the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute in Dallas, who writes the blog Your Local Epidemiologist. "WHO now sees COVID-19 as a threat in our regular repertoire of things-trying-to-kill-us," says epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina. Nonetheless, the reassuring message from CDC and WHO is that you're less likely to catch COVID-19 because case counts have dropped due to vigilance and treatments. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, "People don't need a public health emergency to take something seriously." "HIV doesn't have a public health emergency declaration, tetanus doesn't have a public health emergency declaration, and yet people stay up to date with vaccinations and treatments," says Dr. Then again, so are diseases like malaria and cholera.Īnd just as we take those diseases seriously, we should take COVID-19 seriously, say the experts. It's still infecting thousands – and killing thousands – each week. Wafa El-Sadr, director of the Global Health Initiative at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. The announcement that the emergency is over doesn't mean the virus been vanquished, says Dr. "If the public can't see progress, it will be harder to convince them next time that these emergency measures are necessary," says Bollyky. Well, the quotes from the CDC and WHO are clear.īut Bollyky says articulating the targets and goals for the ending the pandemic all along - such as how low the case and death counts would need to be to lift mask mandates or school closures - would have helped the public understand why the agencies felt that May 2023 was the right time to conclude the public health emergency. Public Health Emergency was ending because "as a nation, we now find ourselves at a different point in the pandemic – with more tools and resources than ever before to better protect ourselves and our communities."ĭid those agencies do a good job explaining themselves? In the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the U.S. Last week when the World Health Organization ended its 3-plus year Public Health Emergency of International Concern, the emergency committee advising the WHO's Director General said it was time to do so because of "the decreasing trend in COVID-19 deaths, the decline in COVID-19 related hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions, and the high levels of population immunity to SARS-CoV-2. Thomas Bollyky, senior fellow for global health, economics and development at the Council on Foreign Relations, says that a public health emergency is "really designed to spur international cooperation around a public health event that is serious, sudden, unexpected and requires immediate attention."Īnd what makes this an appropriate time to end the emergency state? So remind me, what was the purpose of the emergency state? We'll be answering a sampling of questions in a follow-up FAQ. Dear readers, if you have questions about this new phase of the pandemic, write us at and put "FAQ" in the subject line. As the world enters a new phase of the pandemic, we talked to public health gurus about how to move forward since the disease appears to be here to stay even as the emergency is lifted. The FAQ series published in the Goats and Soda blog was a cornerstone of NPR pandemic coverage, touching on everything from transmission via pets ( possible but unlikely ) to whether a glass of wine after a vaccine is advisable ( seems ok ).

Vintage Seth Thomas Metronome #10 #206647. 7/31/2023 0 Comments The colossusCastlevania: Lords of ShadowĬastlevania Lords of Shadow is a game that arguably tries a little too hard to emulate Shadow of the Colossus. The game is less about taking down knights and other fantastical creatures and more about fighting against otherworldly, almost alien monsters.īoth of these games are great fun and, if you like boss rushes, Bloodborne is the game for you. Shadow of the Colossus, arguably, aligns more with the world of Bloodborne than it does with other Soulsborne games. Here, the fantasy elements are nonexistent and, in their place, there is a rich and morbid Gothic aesthetic. These games tend to do away with traditional narrative structure and moment-to-moment gameplay, in favor of creating vast open worlds that players can venture across to take on a series of boss battles.īloodborne is a strict departure from the other Soulsborne games. BloodborneĪs mentioned already, the Soulsborne library of games offers some of the most similar games to Shadow of the Colossus. Okami and Shadow of the Colossus are both wonderfully fulfilling and artistic experiences, and Okami is worth picking up if you haven’t already. The boss battles are just as grandiose here as they are in SotC as well. Traveling through the world of Okami is an adventure in and of itself. Additionally, the game world of Okami is glorious to look at and is better in the HD remake, too. This is such a unique idea that has never been replicated to the same effect. Okami uses traditional Japanese brush painting as a means of engaging in combat with enemies. No other game on this list fits that criteria better than Okami. Many folk think of Shadow of the Colossus as a piece of art, rather than a video game (as are the other titles in Team Ico’s collection). If you enjoyed the design of the Colossi and the unique take Team Ico took on each inspiration point, Nioh does the exact same thing with its bosses! This is one of the best games like Shadow of the Colossus to check out. It is a game that also utilizes compelling boss fights to keep players hooked much like Shadow of the Colossus does. In Nioh, almost all of the boss battles take inspiration from traditional Japanese Yokai (monsters from folklore). These creatures add a level of complexity and mystique to the game, and Nioh has a similar approach to boss design. Several of the Colossi in Shadow of the Colossus take inspiration from mythical creatures such as minotaurs, Cerberus, and Kirin. Nioh is a game that focuses on taking down unique bosses. In Shadow of the Colossus, the eerie silence and lack of any other life make every situation feel just as tense. In Dark Souls, any lowly enemy could spell the end of your playthrough if you aren’t being careful. However, both of these games totally nail the sense of dread and loneliness while traversing through their respective worlds. Shadow of the Colossus delivers the same approach, albeit with a much more barren world to explore. Much like Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls is another FromSoftware game that perfectly blends open-world exploration with insanely brutal battles.ĭark Souls is a game devoted to its boss battles with the open-world exploration being a conduit through which the player can, you guessed it, reach more boss battles. For more of a challenge, be sure to check out Demon’s Souls. Whereas in Shadow of the Colossus, exploring the world, increasing your stamina bar, and defeating time attack bosses, will grant you new equipment like the bomb arrows.īoth of these games incentivize exploring a new world and taking on tricky boss battles. The combat system is complex, and similar to Shadow of the Colossus, it offers some hard-hitting boss battles.įending off bosses in Demon’s Souls will continue to make your character more powerful. The difficulty of Demon’s Souls isn’t for everyone, but this game is truly rewarding for folk who like to sink their time into tricky games. 7/31/2023 0 Comments Adwords editor xpI cannot for the life of me find any reference to where adwords editor stores the data on the local machine.Ĭan anyone kindly point me in the right direction as to where this file(s) may be so I migrate all data from old HDD to the new one.

No, learning how to use a slide rule makes sense in an algebra course for ~15-year-old secondary math students who are learning about logarithms, and for 15–17-year-old secondary science students. > Learning a slide rule as you say makes sense in a history of maths course In the 1960s and before it might have made sense to get students performing the role of human computer, but nowadays it is anachronistic. The important thing for numerical analysts about different root-finding methods (etc.) is their convergence speed, numerical stability, computational complexity, and so on. In a post-introductory-calculus “numerical analysis” course, the exams should consist of writing proofs, not performing algorithms. If you want a nice introductory calculus book organized along more computer-focused and conceptual lines, take a look at (For example you could give the students rulers and printed graphs of a function – without any symbolic expression written down – and ask them to sketch approximately what a solution using Newton’s method would look like). On a timed in-class exam in an introductory calculus course, there are much better ways of judging someone’s understanding than making them perform a bunch of tedious and error-prone number crunching. If a general-purpose programming language seems too much, get them implementing these simple tools in desmos or geogebra. That time is much better spent than doing 4 or 5 examples of each with a handheld calculator. Both of these are very simple and students can learn enough of some simple programming language to implement them both in a very short amount of time. There’s really not much pedagogical value in using a handheld calculator to apply Newton’s method to some root-finding problem or apply Euler’s method (forward differences) to model a differential equation. I could plausibly believe that upper-division engineering courses benefit from handheld calculators – I have no experience with those – but foisting $100 calculators on every high school student is a tremendous scam.Ĭomputers are plenty available in “study groups and tutorials” (for one thing almost all college students and many high school students now have smartphones, and most college students also have laptops and/or tablets, but if you want a cheap computer just for math class, get a netbook or cheap android tablet and external keyboard or something made from a raspberry pi or. The students might even learn something about significant figures. If you want something portable a slide rule is entirely sufficient for anything that might come up in high school or intro undergrad level science courses. If people need to process data resulting from physical experiments they should use a machine with a full-sized keyboard and a real programming language. Without an electronic calculator students can’t be expected to do as much mindless number crunching, so instead the problems can be made much more interesting, unique, and conceptually challenging.įrankly the same goes for science courses. The point of math courses is learning to think, not learning to avoid fat-fingering tiny buttons or learning the specific crappy interface of some anachronistic antique machine. There is no reason for any math course at any level to ever need a calculator, period. Now the math department? They were a different story. What erupted from this limited palette of opportunity is, frankly, unbelievable. For one, you’re reliant on quick saves because progression through the far-spread checkpoints alone is gruelling. JK2’s story is an enjoyable and nostalgic story – despite some frustrating moments, such as a failed attempt at a stealth mission – but it certainly shows its age 20 years on. Once you’ve retrieved your lightsaber, you’ll gradually learn new force powers and improve the ones you know. Kyle takes a trip to the Valley of the Jedi for some quick force power acquisition and visits Luke Skywalker to earn back his lightsaber in a set of Jedi Trials, which are actually surprisingly tricky puzzles. He captures Jan Ors and orders his apprentice, Tavion, to kill her. This Sith serpent, who Kyle describes as an “overgrown Kowakian monkey lizard” – ouch – throws you around a landing pad and force chokes you to near-death. What’s supposed to be a swift raid of a remote Imperial outpost reveals the Imperial’s sinister plans to overthrow the New Republic and Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy using warriors jacked up with artificial force powers from the Valley Of The Jedi (let’s not overthink this one, eh?).Īfter you’ve ploughed through a couple of infuriating planets with blaster rifles, thermal detonators, rocket launchers and vaporising sniper rifles, you’ll confront Desann, the antagonist. JK2’s story starts out as a first-person shooter, with Kyle Katarn and his partner Jan Ors fulfilling a “blue milk run” tasked by Mon Mothma – you might remember her from Return Of The Jedi and Rogue One. JK2’s reign was a period of Star Wars fans at their nerdiest – and at their best. Even now, you can still find the dozens of ‘movies’ that show off mindboggling lightsaber acrobatics, bunny-hop chases, trip mine explosions, and force battles. But, more intriguingly, for its unique online multiplayer experience that spawned clans, player-made maps, custom game modes, and baffling combat techniques. Initially released on PC, Xbox and GameCube – and remastered for PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch in 2019 – JK2 garnered a cult following for its rewarding campaign. It also tests your puzzle-solving skills and promises nostalgic fan service moments with Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian and, briefly, your two favourite droids R2D2 and C3PO. In the campaign, you take the Jedi Trials and become free to dismember stormtroopers, force choke Dark Jedi, and clash sabers with a Sith Lord that’s half-man, half-lizard (that doesn’t seem so weird after The Rise Of Skywalker, does it?). In 2002, LucasArts and Raven Software’s Jedi Knight 2 ( JK2) put mercenary-turned-Jedi Kyle Katarn in your hands.

It switches to whichever weapon the player is using and will attack NPCs with their team set to "NEUTRAL" or "ENEMY."
