For each murdered guest, players have to guess who did the murdering by using the calling card drawing as a clue. The mechanics come together like so: by guessing which player named a particular guest, you "murder" that guest and leave your drawing as your calling card. Players also "bring guests" by giving their guest a name. Players are given prompts to draw, but have to incorporate a random letter from their name in drawings (the letter shape is random and provided). Weapons Drawn is a surprisingly complex social deduction game that requires several playthroughs to really understand its complexities. I'll review the games in each pack and explain my thoughts on each one using the following evaluations: When you're just starting out, you'll want to stick to just one or two of them-but which ones?Īs of this writing, there are nine Jackbox Party Packs available. You have to buy them as Jackbox Party Packs.Įvery Jackbox Party Pack contains five Jackbox games, and each pack retails for around $25 a pop. This is a shame because, for the most part, Jackbox games can't be bought a la carte. The best Jackbox games have incredible replayability that can keep you entertained for hours, but some are terribly dull and others may only be fun a few times before they lose their luster. If you've played party games like Balderdash or Wavelength, you'll feel right at home!Įvery Jackbox game is different, but the driving element behind the entire franchise is a heavy emphasis on party play: games that are simple, creative, and downright hilarious with the right people. Most Jackbox games involve typing answers or drawing images on your device, and the results of the game are shown on the TV. Related: How to Play Jackbox Games Remotely: A Step-by-Step Guide So you have a bunch of players sitting in front of the TV (or computer) and the game plays out on the TV but players are interacting with the game's prompts using their own mobile phones. Everyone else then joins the game as a player using their mobile phones. The game is hosted on a TV, computer screen, or what have you. Only one person needs to own a particular Jackbox game. Jackbox games are bite-sized party games that usually only take about 15–20 minutes to play, and they're often best for groups of four or more.

THE DANISH GIRL isn't a masterpiece but it's certainly a very good movie with some excellent performances. I thought the flow of the film was quite good and there's no question that it nails the costume design and sets. The story itself drags a tad bit during the first portion but I think it asks a lot of really good questions about what love is and of course what one feels about who they really are. The film features some beautiful cinematography, a great music score and I also thought the screenplay was very good. Vikander is also excellent as the woman who finds the man she love slowly turning into someone else. Whenever the Lili character was on screen you really did feel as if you were watching an actress and not just a man playing a female. It was really remarkable seeing how well Redmayne played both the male and female character and he was certainly believable as both. In my mind the greatest was Dustin Hoffman in TOOTSIE but that there was a comedy whereas this here certainly isn't. A lot of actors have played male/female characters to perfection. I think the real draw here are the performances with Redmayne once again delivering a remarkable piece of work just a year after his Oscar win for THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING. It also doesn't hurt that we've got some excellent performances and a rather interesting and conflicted love story. Like that film the director has no problem with the visual look of the film and Hooper certainly knows how to put you in the period setting. She took the stand and testified that Depps drug addiction was far worse than he admitted. THE DANISH GIRL is another beautiful looking film from Tom Hooper, the director best known for his Oscar-winner THE KING'S SPEECH. 311 Play trailer 1:09 33 Videos 99+ Photos Biography Crime Drama A fictitious love story loosely inspired by the lives of Danish artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener.

The Danish Girl (2015) *** (out of 4) The semi true-story of painters Einar (Eddie Redmayne) and Gerda Wegener (Alicia Vikander), a married couple who find their lives changing when Einar dresses as a woman so Gerda can have someone to paint but it brings something out in him.

Very glad to receive the Copenhaver Associate Professor appointment from the School of Engineering! So we are definitely going to switch from mod_php to PHP-FPM when upgrading to Moodle 3.2.Īs we have a lot of third party plugins, we don't want to go with PHP 7 yet. Thanks Jonathan for the valuable information. Once in place, as root user on the server, and located in the directory where the rpms reside try a global rpm install command using wilcards: Sneakernet those to the server and place into one directory. Then, from a linux/mac/or pc that has wget on it, wget the list. Might have to build a text file that is nothing more than a series of links to the rpm files needed - call it phprpms.txt Then use the rpm -qR command to find dependencies. Install php on it via yum - include the php54-php-pecl-zendopache. You'd have to find a linux box connected to the internet that had yum/rpm on it. But, different strokes for different folks, but dunno what to say about 'paraniod folks'. what good will it do to run a Moodle if it's only available at that location? Kinda defeats the purpose. have been working on a rebuilt Centos 6 box to Centos 7 using MySQL Community version and am finding the new environment a bit of a learning curve (all those years of CentOS 5 and 6 are burend to brain! :\).įirst, have to comment. IF I re-call correctly, that method of install, gave a message at the end about the ini file in /etc/php.d/ and something the OP had to do manually to make sure php knew of the plugin. Heiko is correct it can be installed via pecl. If worse comes to worse, I can provide out on the web where you could acquire. There are quite a few settings in a opcache.ini and am hesitant to post one from a CentOS Linux release (Core) as there could be a differences (don't have a commercial RHEL 7 to look at). If no response, you are missing the opcache.ini file that should be present in /etc/php.d/ If that responds and shows it's there, then do another find: To check for existence of the opcache.so file as root user located anywhere:įind /usr/lib64/php/modules/ -name opcache.so Check with sysOP.Ĭould be that you have the opcache.so file but have not told apache/php that it exist. If not, the repo has been disabled from normal checking, and one has to adjust the yum commands to enable it on the fly. Since you've said the sysOP wants to use RH only repos, wonder if the SCL is active in your repo list.Īs root user from any location: yum repolist The installation won't let me continue until I resolve these issues. I can probably enable those in the cfg file, but that would leave two items uncompleted. Along with that, it says I must enable full unicode (file_per_table and large_prefix). I ran admin/cli/my sql_compressed_rows.php -list, and it says no issues. Under other checks, it says I am using the Antelope format and must convert to barracuda. (That is the only server item in the first portion which remains in CHECK.) Moodle docs says that for 5.3 and 5.4, it can be safely ignored. However, I can't enable opcache, because I don't have the. I was able to install soap and xmlrc from the distro release. I downloaded php-mbstring and php-intl from redhat. I'm wondering if you ran into the same issues, and how you resolved them. I am having issues with the installation, though. I chose to install the 3.1 version because of the php issues you are currently experiencing. I am in the process of building a moodle server on rhel 7.3 to replace one on Ubuntu which is no longer supported. We would be especially interested in using PHP-FPM with Apache's event MPM as it is said to perform better.Īny insight would be greatly appreciated. * PHP 5.6 as PHP-FPM (rh-php56-php-fpm) with Apache's event MPM.ĭoes anyone already have experiences with a similar setup? * PHP 5.6 as mod_php (rh-php56-php) with Apache's prefork MPM. So at the moment we are considering two options: We are aware that there are many third party repos providing newer versions of PHP (Remi, Webtatic, IUS), but our system admins would rather rely on Red Hat's support and get PHP 5.6 from Red Hat Software collections (RHSCL). Minimum PHP version is now 5.6.5, so all RHEL users will need to find a newer PHP from somewhere. Starting with Moodle 3.2, the minimum requirements for PHP have increased. Our Moodle currently runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo), which comes with Apache 2.4.6 and PHP 5.4.16. We are currently planning our upgrade from Moodle 3.1 to 3.2. Has anyone here successfully updated to Moodle 3.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux yet?

I'd let them soak for 10-15 minutes, then I rinsed the berries off thoroughly with cold water (to get rid of the vinegar smell and taste). In a bowl, I filled it with 1/4 cup vinegar and 1 1/2 cup of water. The second method I tried with these airtight Rubbermaid containers was pre-washing my berries using the vinegar and water soaking trick. I found this method worked well, but it still required me to wash my berries every time I wanted to eat them. If there's any moisture, it will promote mold growth. Food Network recommends not pre-washing your berries and keeping them in an airtight container to avoid moisture in the container. I've used two methods for keeping berries fresh for longer and I found both worked well. How to keep fruit freshĪ perfectly pre-portioned snack of strawberries. Having my snacks prepared made it even easier to eat everything as planned. I started this on a day I was going to be out of the house and needed to bring my snacks with me, but I continued doing it even when I was home. This makes meal prepping my snacks very easy. I keep my bulk items in the larger containers and then daily portions of snacks in the smaller containers. My strawberries haven't gotten shoved to the back of the fridge to rot and die. No more food waste! For the last month, I've been on a strawberries and carrots kick, and so far, I finish them all within a week. Now, with these Rubbermaid containers, I can see exactly what I've got to eat and I'm actually finishing my food. At first, things would always go well, but after about two weeks, I'd fall off and need a new method for keeping my fruits and vegetables, because I'd forget about them. I've used the crisping drawer in my fridge. I've kept the fruits in the plastic containers they come in. I've used a few methods of storage for fruits and vegetables.
Below are descriptions of PMI certification options. Each certification serves its own purpose within the realm of project management. NOTE: PMI assumes a 40 hour week so someone could not be full-time on Project A during August and full-time on Project B at the same time.PMI certifications help project management professionals learn new skills and grow in their careers. They get to count the overlapping hours but not the months. So the totals for those two projects on the application are 12 unique months and 2,000 hours. However, the total hours for those two projects do count. The months of July-October cannot be double-counted so Project B does not get credit for those months. Project A would count as 10 months toward the 36 unique months. How does this get reported on an application? Project B went from July - December 2012 for a total of 800 hours. Let's say Project A went from January - October 2012, for a total of 1,200 hours. For the PMP application, they need to demonstrate at least 36 unique months of working on projects and a total of at least 4,500 hours. Let's assume someone has a Bachelor's degree. The required quantity of months and hours depend on whether someone has a Bachelor's degree or equivalent but the two categories remain. Earlier posts handled the leading and directing issue so I'll skip it here. PMI is looking for two things regarding work experience on the application: a number of unique months and a total number of hours of leading and directing. Here’s the simplest way I’ve found to explain it: The bottom line is that you need to be comfortable with yourself - if you have made every effort to honestly document your management experience & have records to back up your claim in case of an audit, you'll be fine.Īn aspect of the work experience documentation that is often confusing for people has to do with overlapping projects. On a software project, perhaps you were the software lead, which gave you experience executing, etc. My interpretation of leading and directing is that you don't have to be designated as "the PM", but you do need to have been performing some sort of leadership activity on the project. At least that's how it was in 2009 when I documented my experience. Not every project you document needs to cover every process group, but the sum total of all your experience needs to cover all the PMBOK processes. is a slightly dated version of the type of template you could maintain if you wanted to get a leg up. Fortunately, we are typically pretty good about setting up charge numbers for various activities on a project, so the translation from charge numbers to PMBOK process area.Īlso this way, if I was audited, I already had the source material I could use as justification. Since I wasn't as forward thinking as you, I ended up asking my company financial admin staff to print me a report of every project I had billed for the last 5 years. managing the project and what percentage of that time was spent on various activities in each Process Area, organized by the process groups. When you fill out the experience portion of the PMP Application, you will be asked to provide the total number of hours you spent "leading and directing", i.e. Most of your hours will probably fall into the execution area that's probably what they expect. Project manager, sponsor, developer, and customer on X small project.I passed the audit, and I had projects like: That makes it easier to subdivide into the process areas and processes later you can "budget" those hours until they add up to approximately the same amount.īy the way, PMI really wants just project work experience, whether leadership or not. do you agree with this? (Yes/No) and any other comments?" So no real documentation is necessary as long as you are honest, your experience is valid.Īlso, for tracking, I would do it in a spreadsheet list projects and an approximate number of hours spent on each project. It will say "XYZ said they worked on this project for these many hours (by process area). Once you enter your hours, if you get audited, you will get a letter to sign for each project, from the manager of that project (or co-worker, or subordinate). I was also audited, so I know that they accepted my experience. I'm a software developer by experience, so I had to scrounge various projects to get my 4500 hours. They will ask you to break the hours down into five process areas (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing) and then into various process activities. Documentation required is pretty scant on the 4500 hours.

With many connections open, this can be a performance bottleneck. Without those DLLs we don't do "live" previews for the Thumbnail view. * Also in the Options dialog under " Troubleshooting", check the " Delete EasyHook DLLs" and click on Reset Settings. Make sure " Enable Taskbar Thumbnails" are unchecked. * Open the View -> Options dialog and navigate to User Interface -> Tabs. * Under Advanced -> Performance: check Hardware Acceleration Make sure the option " Force Smart Reconnect on all Sessions" is disabled. Open the Settings of the Remote Desktop Protocol Connection. * Alternatively: Go to the View ribbon tab and click on Plugins. The Smart Reconnect option requires a background thread which will check for size changes on a regular basis. If so, please change it to Smart Sizing or Scrollbars. * Check if all your RDP connections are setup to use Smart Reconnect in the connection properties under Display Options. But I checked the code and there are some things which you can tweak to maybe speed things up. I'm still struggling with reproducing the issue using 15 or more connections. Maybe the connection accepted input a bit quicker? I resized the window to be much smaller and if it did help it wasn't much. The action lags behind the mouse quite far. The whole RoyalTS window will "flash" as it resizes and you can see the screen redrawing. With "Show window contents while dragging" enabled then it's very difficult to resize the window. Also, the menu tree on the left will freeze and become unresponsive at the same time. If I switch tabs in succession it will lag bad enough that sometimes three of the tabs are "lit up" like I'm hovering over them. If I turn off the "Show window contents while dragging" then I can resize without too much of an issue - it still "freezes" for 5 seconds or so after I resize the window. I tried resizing the main RoyalTS window and it was very laggy. However, just a couple hours ago I had 10 or so open and it was slow. Right now I'm working with only two and it's perfectly acceptable. So, it seems to be the number of connections open. However, The other day I opened ~15 RDP sessions within a few hours and it was very slow. I think I was bringing time into it because as time goes on I would add more and more connections. So, time doesn't seem to have as much of an effect as I thought. Just moving the cursor back and forth over the tabs will cause CPU to stay at 10-12%. Switching between tabs CPU usage would move to 14% or so for the 5 seconds until the tab would accept input. With 14 tabs memory usage was ~3400MB and CPU usage stayed at 0%. This RoyalTS window has been open for 3 days with the number of tabs varying from 7-14. As I close them the performance gets progressively better until it becomes acceptable with 3-4 tabs open. When switching between RDP sessions I counted ~5 seconds from the time I click on a tab to when that session will accept input. If I move my mouse up to the bar then it's a good 2-3 seconds before the tab will highlight and can be clicked. For example, just moving the mouse across the tabs you can see the tab highlighting following far behind the cursor and it skips most of them. When the issue happens anything to do with that bar becomes very slow. I've been monitoring this some more and it seems to be the tab bar where the issue lies. If you were exercising on a warm day, your rising core body temperature would trigger several homeostatic mechanisms, including increased transport of blood from your core to your body periphery, which is typically cooler. Recall that body temperature is regulated via a classic negative-feedback loop. This protects the body from further blood loss. When damage to the vessels results in bleeding, blood platelets and certain proteins dissolved in the plasma, the fluid portion of the blood, interact to block the ruptured areas of the blood vessels involved. Other WBCs seek out and destroy internal threats, such as cells with mutated DNA that could multiply to become cancerous, or body cells infected with viruses. Many types of WBCs protect the body from external threats, such as disease-causing bacteria that have entered the bloodstream in a wound. For instance, blood moves carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation from the body, and various waste products are transported to the kidneys and liver for excretion from the body in the form of urine or bile. Blood also picks up cellular wastes and byproducts, and transports them to various organs for removal. Moreover, endocrine glands scattered throughout the body release their products, called hormones, into the bloodstream, which carries them to distant target cells. Oxygen from the air you breathe diffuses into the blood, which moves from the lungs to the heart, which then pumps it out to the rest of the body. Most of these travel in the bloodstream directly to the liver, where they are processed and released back into the bloodstream for delivery to body cells. Nutrients from the foods you eat are absorbed in the digestive tract. The specific functions of blood also include defense, distribution of heat, and maintenance of homeostasis. The primary function of blood is to deliver oxygen and nutrients to and remove wastes from body cells, but that is only the beginning of the story. This fluid, which is mostly water, perpetually suspends the formed elements and enables them to circulate throughout the body within the cardiovascular system. The extracellular matrix, called plasma, makes blood unique among connective tissues because it is fluid. The cellular elements-referred to as the formed elements-include red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and cell fragments called platelets. Like all connective tissues, it is made up of cellular elements and an extracellular matrix. Recall that blood is a connective tissue. Identify the composition of blood plasma, including its most important solutes and plasma proteins.Discuss the unique physical characteristics of blood.Name the fluid component of blood and the three major types of formed elements, and identify their relative proportions in a blood sample.Identify the primary functions of blood in transportation, defense, and maintenance of homeostasis.By the end of this section, you will be able to: |
