You remind me of a sunday back home1/15/2024 Of course, I'm familiar with the concept of yearning, which is a very common grief reaction. It just seems to make sense that people would look for those they love and miss in the appearance, personality traits, values, abilities, roles and tendencies of others. Don't others have this experience? Maybe I am weird. This morning I looked around the Internet to see if I could find anything about seeing your loved one in other people after they die. In fact at one point in the interview Diane Sawyer actually said to Julie Andrews something to the effect of, "You know, there are people on the internet who say they wish you were their mother." For a second this made me think that Julie-Andrews-Mother-Envy was really a thing. I can tell some of you are starting to think I'm weird, but I'm not. I don't have the usual tabloid fodder to prove she's anything but what I idealize my mother to have been. I don't know how it was in the days when she was front-and-center, but if she was a part of rumors or gossip or scandal it was way before my time. I guess maybe that's part of the reason why it works, Julie Andrews von Trapp is kind of a blank slate to me. It's remarkable how much I've allowed my mind to project my mother onto a woman I don't even know. Her short hair, her love of children, her guitar, her singing, her values and idealism - which 'her' am I talking about? Doesn't matter, they're the same person! I'm only slightly exaggerating. I think I underestimated just how much my mind has confused Maria von Trapp, as played by Julie Andrews circa 1965, with my own mother. Remember when we told you that grief triggers tend to pop up when you least expect them? Well, thats exactly what happened when last night my delightful romp through Salzburg, Austria with Diane Sawyer and Julie Andrews turned into an hour long sob-fest. Last night I watched ABC's special "The Untold Story of 'The Sound of Music.'" I stopped on the special because I thought it would be a harmless and happy break from the murder and deception of HBO's, The Jinx, which I had just finished watching. Also check out the raw live performance at the bottom.Coping with Grief Triggers, Is this Normal? This is flawless songwriting and execution, and it never fails to flood me with nostalgia for the past, and for the future. This is beautiful poetry, and it doesn’t hurt that his voice truly great on it’s own and is twisted up with emotion when he breathes life into this. This is something I severely lacked in the past and am just starting to find with every year that passes.Įvery word here hits me personally in one way or another. It’s a desperate, last chance plea, completely void of ego and foolish pride. The chorus brings in a strong sense of realizing he is wrong and that he needs to change in order to keep the person he so beautifully describes his love for in the both verses. Regardless, feeling that way is something I have an intense wistful affection to potentially feel in the future. I’m not sure I’ve ever loved someone like the mountains love the way the morning opens to a soft a bright greeting from the sun, but doesn’t that sound truly amazing? Maybe I have and I just didn’t know it at the time, which is perhaps another story. The words in this song paint vivid pictures of love, regret, and nostalgia. These are the songs I end up repeating the most, hoping to feel it every time, and with much success. There are many songs that evoke this feeling for me a longing for something I’ve never had or haven’t had for a long time, and I could go in depth about every single one of them if free time wasn’t scarce. “Wistful for the future” is a phrase I saw, and I don’t suppose that’s incorrect, but, to me, nostalgia represents a very specific, deep feeling, much stronger than just “wistful”, and so even though it is technically incorrect, I’m choosing to rebrand it as “Nostalgia for the Future”. Now, as far as I know, due to my very brief online research just a moment ago, there is not a word that represents having that same feeling for the future. I am very lucky to have many great memories and experiences with family and friends, so many that it brings me to tears at times. “A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.”įor the past. Now, the definition of nostalgia is as follows: There’s something inside of me that is very susceptible to the feeling of nostalgia.

Utopia bagels utopia parkway queens ny1/15/2024 That's less than $3 per slice-which sounds like a steal these days!Īlthough Spellman and Utopia Bagel's 56 employees have been making the giant pizza bagel for over five years already, a recent marketing and (duh!) social media push have drastically increased the amount of requests that the shop receives weekly. Photograph: Brandon HayesĮach $85 order actually includes two pizzas (there are two sides to each bagel, after all!) for a total of, more or less, 30 slices. Recently, explains 22-year-old co-owner Jesse Spellman, the shop has also been using the scooped out portions of the bagel to make garlic knots that are served alongside each order. After retrieving the cooked bread and scooping it out to prevent the pizza from becoming too thick, it's time for the sauce (a homemade one prepared following a "secret" recipe), the cheese and another round in the oven. A post shared by Brandon Hayes explained in the clip by its creator Brandon Hayes, who happens to be a friend of the shop's owners, the 10-pound bagel takes about 24 hours to make, so customers are advised to order their treat a day or two in advance.Ī bit about the process: After rolling the dough, the staff at Utopia lets it sit in the fridge for 24 hours and then cooks it the same way they would a bagel-on a board (albeit a custom, huge one) inside a rotating oven that allows for easy flipping.

We don't have a fix yet but I have a feeling it's going to involve firewall rules to stop DFS from acting this way. Silent install / uninstall Hi, I want to know whether auto cad 2019LT supports Silent Install / Uninstall Please Thanks Solved by mlatz. IMO this isn't a viable workaround because I'm not going to create a separate deployment for each office we have and for each Autodesk software package. If I "bypass" DFS by pointing the PDQ deployment directly to the local server share, it works fine. In the case of these Autodesk deployments, the initial installer at some point calls the "ProcessManager.exe" which requires admin rights, and was causing windows to freak out and flag it as "outside the network" since it was sometimes trying to open that file from an office across our WAN and not the server down the hall. This usually works, except DFS doesn't always pick the server local to the machine getting the deployment, it picks the one that responds first. We have PDQ Central server set up along with DFS so we can push deployments from one PDQ server to all of our remote offices. This installer and BAT files can be stored on a server and run by the administrator to install the product, with its customized content, onto users’ computers.So I think I tracked down the reason I'm having trouble with this, figured I would follow up here in case it helps anyone else. When run, no input is requested, the app is simply installed.ħ. A Windows BAT file is created with all customized options embedded. When run, the installation files are downloaded onto the computer to C:\Autodesk. For a completely silent install, comment out the first line in the batch file and remove the comment from the second line. The necessary data was also copied to the network drive and unpacked as set and when I run the 'Install Autodesk Custom Installer.bat' from there, everything works without problems. This downloads a small EXE file which is used to create the installer. Hello, I have created a custom installation of the type Deploy with the help of the Audodesk website. These include installation path, custom file paths, security settings, LISP options, Express Tools, custom profile selection, and other settings.Ħ. choose the version and set the serial number.ī.

Do not regress meaning1/14/2024 In Thinking Fast and Slow, Kahneman recalls watching men’s ski jump, a discipline where the final score is a combination of two separate jumps. The effects of regression to the mean can frequently be observed in sports, where the effect causes plenty of unjustified speculations. And it may take a long time before it happens.” - Peter Bevelin Regression to the Mean “Regression to the mean is not a natural law. (The ratio of skill to luck also impacts regression to the mean.) It’s also why James March argues that the longer someone stays in their job, “the less the probable difference between the observed record of performance and actual ability.” Anything can happen in the short run, especially in any effort that involves a combination of skill and luck. This is one of the reasons it’s dangerous to extrapolate from small sample sizes, as the data might not be representative of the distribution. If we switch from one way of doing something to another merely because we are unsuccessful, it’s very likely that we do better the next time even if the new way of doing something is equal or worse. Chance is likely to contribute less on the second time we measure performance. When the measurements are extreme, they are likely to be partly caused by chance. All measurements are made up of one true part and one random error part. Why? Testing measurements can never be exact. Extreme performance tends to get less extreme the next time. Our performance always varies around some average true performance. Their true ability perhaps hasn’t changed. And there could be many reasons for their earlier performance - stress, fatigue, sickness, distraction, etc. Since these individuals were measured as being on the low end of the scale of skill, they would have shown an improvement even if they hadn’t taken the skill-enhancing program. Their higher scores could be the result of regression to the mean. John’s conclusion: “The skill-enhancing program caused the improvement in skill.” This isn’t necessarily true. Their scores are now higher than they were on the first test. In Seeking Wisdom, Peter Bevelin offers the example of John, who was dissatisfied with the performance of new employees so he put them into a skill-enhancing program where he measured the employees’ skill: The rule goes that, in any series with complex phenomena that are dependent on many variables, where chance is involved, extreme outcomes tend to be followed by more moderate ones. The notion of regression to the mean was first worked out by Sir Francis Galton. One of the errors that he examines in Thinking Fast and Slow is the infamous regression toward the mean. It turns out there is a whole set of logical errors that we commit because our intuition and brains do not deal well with simple statistics. Nobel prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman wrote a book about biases that cloud our reasoning and distort our perception of reality. Learning about regression to the mean can help us. It is important to minimize instances of bad judgment and address the weak spots in our reasoning. Learning to recognize when regression to the mean is at play can help us avoid misinterpreting data and seeing patterns that don’t exist. Regression to the mean is a common statistical phenomenon that can mislead us when we observe the world.

The Effects tab provides you ways to add echo effects, reverb, and chorus to your tracks. The equalizer lets you choose between three and eight bands, as well as a preset.

The Edit tab is where you can find the basic tools of trimming, merging, splitting, and reversing. The free version lets you export your files only as WAV, but upgrading will give you access to more audio formats. Starting with the tools in the Home tab, you'll find the options to import, save, and export tracks, as well as undo and redo edits. Right above it, you can find all the tools available in the tab you're in. This is a tool you can use to zoom in on specific parts of a track.

Face2face cast1/14/2024 I grew up watching David Williamson movies, Don’s Party, The Club, Traveling North, Gallipoli, Emerald City, and this particular play, Face to Face, I believe, is one of his best. By systematically exposing each person to one other and forcing them to see the consequences and effects of their actions, the characters are able to transcend their own subjective view, and understand that they are part of a “tribe” where everyone’s actions affect everyone else. “But if this really works, then you’ve cracked the way to solve global conflicts.” My friend shrugged humbly, “That’s what we’re hoping, yes.” And if not so completely, at least the individuals take away some new personal skills and understanding”. There’s no way these things work out so… completely.” My friend responded, “Actually, they almost always do. I said to my friend “This is really amazing, but the ending’s a bit hard to believe. When I read the play, I laughed, I cried – I couldn’t believe that I could ever care so much about such an ordinary scenario. I came upon this when an old friend was trying to explain this revolutionary work he was doing – he then emailed me a copy of a play that David Williamson had written on this very material. I just look at neighbors and work colleagues and wonder, “If we can’t get past these smaller grudges and animosities, what hope do we have for the bigger ones?” When I see the terrible violence that’s inflicted on one generation against their enemies, ensuring the next generation will dish out the same in kind. With all the strife in the world, human nature being what it is, and history not really offering any positive examples, I’ve often wondered if there’s any way out. Be warned, this is a little movie, with big ideas.
