A task is discontinued if the client takes longer than ?240 seconds to complete it. The CTT manual reports that it takes 3-8 minutes to complete the CTT. near misses, prompts required, sequencing “The coordination and proper ordering of the steps that comprise the task, requiring a proper allotment of attention to each step” (Lezak, 1989 as cited in (Baum, Morrison, Hahn & Edwards, 2007))Įrrors for colour and number) are also recorded. Qualitative aspects of the performance that may be indicative of brain dysfunction (e.g. Time taken to complete each part of the CTT is recorded in seconds and is compared to normative data. Untimed practice trials are completed for both the CCT1 and CCT2 to ensure that the client understands the task. start at pink 1, avoid pink 2 to select yellow 2, avoid yellow 3 to select pink 3, etc.). Numbers are presented twice, once in pink and once in yellow, so the client must ignore the distracter item (e.g. CTT2: Must follow the CTT1 and requires the respondent to connect numbers in an ascending sequence while alternating between pink and yellow colors.CTT1: Must be administered first and requires the respondent to connect circles in an ascending numbered sequence (1-25).Versions B-D are experimental and should be used in research only (Mitrushina, Boone, Razzani, & D’Elia, 2005). There are 4 versions of the CTT (forms A, B, C, and D) but only the first version (form A) has normative data and is the only version that should be used in a clinical setting. ![]() The Color Trails Test (CTT) (Maj, D’Elia, Satz, Janssen, Zaudig, Uchiyama et al., 1993 D’Elia, Satz, Uchiyama & White, 1996) is a language-free version of the Trail Making Test (TMT) that was developed to allow for broader cross-cultural application to measure sustained attention and divided attention “The allocation of attentional resources across more than one task” (Ponsford, 2008, p.

It’s thus a fairly elegant solution.īefore beginning, you’ll need to head over to the uberOptions site and download the program – it’s a relatively small download at only 6.3 MB and so shouldn’t take too long. Thus, you won’t have another program that must always be running in the background, which should cut down on system resource usage, if you’re concerned about that sort of thing. Thankfully, a nice fellow by the name of Richard Lowens has written a nifty program, called uberOptions, that changes the configuration files of SetPoint to enable all of the “disabled” options for almost all Logitech mice! Since all this required was modifying some XML files that stored the configuration information for each mouse (and thus determined which had application-specific settings and so forth), once the program has been installed, it doesn’t need to be run again. Or, perhaps they have just forgotten to update their SetPoint software, but I find this hard to believe. To me, this sort of intentional limitation is mind-boggling – but perhaps it’s part of Logitech’s market strategy to set apart certain mice as having “features” that others do not. For example, the G7, G5 and MX610 mice from Logitech will have application-specific settings available, but other mice, such as the MX1000 won’t have this option available. However, this is an intentional software limitation, not a limitation of the mice themselves. Furthermore, most Logitech mice don’t “support” application-specific settings through SetPoint – so once you bind actions to certain buttons, they persist no matter what program or game you are using, thus limiting the mouse’s functionality since different programs or games might use different keystrokes or actions. ![]() Most of the buttons can be bound to a range of options, but some buttons are limited to certain functions. SetPoint does an alright job of allowing customization of your mouse. But, for the rest of us, mostly tech-saavy people who enjoy and use their computer a lot, having a mouse with extra buttons can be a useful time saver, akin to learning keyboard shortcuts. Most people don’t have a mouse with more than three buttons (the standard left/right and wheel configuration), and most won’t care for or need one. I originally wrote a short blurb about using uberOptions and SetPoint to get more out of your Logitech mouse, but decided to turn it into a longer guide with more information uberOptions is a neat program that modifies some of SetPoint’s configuration files in order to allow all application-specific settings for many more Logitech mice than just a select few, and allows for almost any option or command to be assigned to any mouse button, and thus makes it possible to customize your mouse much more.Ī lot of people might be wondering what all this fuss is about. Please ignore any outdated or broken links in this article as I work to fix them. The uberOptions site is back online at a new URI. 1/4/2024 0 Comments Avernum 6 stealing![]() action SETSDF 128 6 1 begintalknode 5 state -1 nextstate -1. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023. text3 Like all of the remaining cities of Avernum, Dharmon is very busy. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. ![]() While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. ![]() The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. They swing between uneasy peace and brutal war with its other inhabitants some native like the Slithzerikai lizard-people, and some brought with them like the Nephilim cat-people. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. Avernum is an underground world settled by humans exiled from the all-powerful Empire on the surface.

Check out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. ![]() The purpose of this study was to understand how the unique social, historical, cultural, and Indigenous knowledge contexts of Aboriginal communities in British Columbia shaped high school to university transitions for Aboriginal youth. Other factors that contributed to positive persistence decisions were scale of the environment and structure of course content. Further, the results highlighted the importance of a one-to-one relationship with the instructor and student expectations about this relationship. The results of this case study demonstrated the complexity of community membership for Indigenous students. Data collection took place over one academic year and consisted of interviews with student and faculty participants, as well as observation of online activities within two required biology courses. Scholarly literature on persistence and community models such as Tinto’s (1975) Student Integration Model and Wenger’s (1998) Community of Practice were evaluated for their applicability to non-traditional students. The case was positioned within the first year of an Indigenous Pre-Nursing Transitions (PNT) program in a western Canadian university. The goal of this exploratory case study was to determine what attributes of the design and structure of a hybrid learning environment encouraged positive persistence decisions. ![]() Despite investment in these programs, more than thirty years later there still exists a considerable gap between Indigenous students’ graduation rates and those of their non-Indigenous counterparts, with significant numbers of students dropping out of university programs within the first year (Statistics Canada, 2011). Scholarly research in the success of such programs is frequently presented in terms of institutional directives such as retention and attrition and success is is typically measured by graduation rates. Transitions programs to support non-traditional students have been in existence in Canada since the educational reform movement of the 1970s (Malatest & Associates, 2004). Findings of this study suggest that experiential/cultural knowledge of WOC is valuable, and important for further research in higher education and that academic supervisors and administrators should consider using cultural knowledge as a guide and tool for practical mentorship, academic development, and supervision to ensure successful outcomes for current and future diverse students, especially for WOC in doctoral programs. The majority of the participants interviewed acquired grants, publishing and funding opportunities, possessed all six components. These elements were: 1) Mother's Influence, 2) Age Capital, 3) Survival Strategies, 4) Navigating Academic culture or " Know-How " 5) Mentorship, and 6) Spirituality. An analysis of the data revealed six categories of cultural wealth that were significant and instrumental in graduate student achievement. The aim of the survey was to assess how these diverse students cultivated unique forms of CW through the telling of their stories. A six-item structured instrument was utilized to examine the educational experiences of 10 WOC doctoral students who were attending an elite Canadian university. To thoroughly analyze this assessment, a theoretical framework that included: critical race theory, cultural capital theory, and Womanist theory was implemented. Yet, even without this prior familial knowledge, WOC still succeed because they depend on their developed cultural wealth (CW) to navigate through their doctoral studies. Graduate students who come from a background where neither parent has pursued higher education or specifically, who are Women of Colour (WOC), lack important cultural capital that could otherwise threaten or derail their pursuit of a doctoral degree. 1/4/2024 0 Comments Animated tumbleweed gif![]()
1/4/2024 0 Comments Reign of fire![]() As always, however, that depends on their age, level of maturity and tolerance for such material. Some of those violent moments, others involving dragon attacks and people trying to hide and/or avoid being killed, and the general sight of the huge and menacing dragons might be unsettling, suspenseful or downright scary to some viewers, particularly younger ones. While some blood is present, most of the deaths are not gory, and two men get into a brief fight. Various people and dragons are killed in some violent encounters, but many of the human deaths take place off camera or are seen from a distance. OUR WORD TO PARENTS: Here's a quick look at the content found in this action/adventure film that's been rated PG-13. (Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below). GERARD BUTLER plays Quinn's best friend and confidant.Ĭurious if this title is entertaining, any good, and/or has any artistic merit?.IZABELLA SCORUPCO plays a more compassionate chopper pilot who works with him.MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY plays an American dragon slayer who's so cocky and determined in his quest that he doesn't care whose toes he steps on or feathers he might ruffle.Having taken in a bunch of orphans, he's determined to protect them and not allow Van Zan's plan to endanger any of them. CHRISTIAN BALE plays the initial survivor of the dragon attacks who's now grown up and serving as the leader of a small group of other survivors.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13 For intense action violence. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're fans of anyone in the cast, dragon-related movies or killer monsters on the loose types of plots, they just might. Armed with such knowledge and the belief that the creatures can't see that well at dusk, Van Zan and others then head off toward London in hopes of accomplishing their goal. It seems that they've discovered that one male dragon is fertilizing the eggs of the many female dragons and have concluded that if they kill him, they'll wipe out the species. Quinn is suspicious of such claims, but when the Americans not only fend off an attack but also kill a hostile dragon, they begin to believe them and take some stock in their theory about how to kill the beasts. One day American Denton Van Zan (MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY), chopper pilot Alex Jensen (IZABELLA SCORUPCO) and Van Zan's small army arrive at Quinn's compound looking for supplies and claiming to have killed dragons. With the aid of Creedy (GERARD BUTLER), Quinn and others have taken in many orphans including Jared (SCOTT JAMES MOUTTER), but must contend with dissenters such as Eddie (DAVID KENNEDY) who want to harvest the latest crop before it's ready. In the ruins of a remote castle, Quinn (CHRISTIAN BALE) is the ruler of a ragtag group of survivors who are simply trying to get by. PLOT: It's the year 2020 in Northumberland, England and a large number of huge, fire-breathing dragons - accidentally unleashed twenty years earlier - have laid waste to most of civilized society. QUICK TAKE: Action/Adventure A small group of English survivors in a post-Apocalyptic world must contend not only with the fire-breathing dragons that have decimated the planet, but also the gung-ho Americans who've arrived and are intent on killing the beasts.
