Te Kaitaka is situated amongst the tussock covered hills of Roy's Peninsula on the shores of Lake Wanaka
Our clients, originally from the South Island, split their time between their homes in Auckland and Wanaka.
They asked for a generous and sociable home to accommodate their family and friends.
The outstanding natural environment required a sensitive approach to the design, with the local council imposing restrictions on the size and location of the building platform and the materials used. Our design employs an architectural language of triangulated geometries and origami-like cuts and folds to create a sculptural form that relates strongly to the mountainous landscape. The structure of the house is pre-cast concrete, raw to the interior, with an external cedar rainscreen to the walls and roof selected to weather into the natural environment.
Location: Lake Wanaka, New Zealand.
Architect: Steven Lawson Architects
Photography: Simon Devitt
Text: www.stevenslawson.co.nz
The mass of the concrete and stone interior gives a sense of protection in the face of the power of the landscape and the extreme regional climate. The materiality of the building is earthy and textured with natural finishes but it is assembled with craft and precision. The primary pitched roof plane echoes the slope of the land, forming an sheltered verandah to the lake-front and a double storey back section with garaging below and bedrooms above.
The lifted triangular skylight allows natural light to penetrate into the living spaces throughout the day. These interconnected spaces are unified by the timber roof above but individually defined by the stepping floor levels and the geometry of the perimeter walls.

Laughter is the best medicine and luckily I find it everywhere I go.
I love funny Twitter pages and when someone can laugh at themselves when they've just done something silly. I could watch endless episodes of You've Been Framed on a Saturday evening and re-watch all my favourite vines before bed. Play fighting is the best and even though I hate being tickled, it does make me giggle.
I will laugh at inappropriate times and when someone tells a really bad joke because I'm just socially awkward that way. I laugh when I'm scared and when I tell the truth (then people think I'm lying but I'm not I swear 😂).
The best laughs I've ever had, have always been with my family.

Records of ancient civilizations contain innumerable references to weather and climate and rudimentary but ingenious instruments were devised by different cultures to observe the basic meteorological parameters, often in conjunction with astronomy and astrology.
Every year, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the international meteorological community celebrate World Meteorological Day, commemorating the coming into force of the WMO Convention on 23 March 1950, precisely 30 days after the date of deposit of the 30th instrument of ratification or accession by Members.
Every year on 23 March, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the international meteorological community join in celebrating World Meteorological Day, to commemorate the coming into force of the WMO Convention on 23 March 1950, precisely 30 days after the day when the thirtieth instrument of ratification of the Convention was deposited by countries wishing to join the new Organization.
According to Titus Livius (~ 59 BC – AD 17) and his History of Rome, the lustrum was in ancient Rome a five-year period between two successive censuses, the first of which was established by ancient Rome's sixth king, Servius Tullius, in the 6th century BC.

How to navigate the AWS Management Console
This tip reviews the multiple services available through the AWS Management Console and the features available to help navigate it.
The AWS Management Console is becoming increasingly more difficult to navigate as the number of services increases. A few useful features of the AWS console can help streamline the time you spend navigating to find what you really need. These include high-level services grouping, a history list, a permanent menu bar and the option to perform tasks from multiple locations within the console. Here are some points to keep in mind as you navigate the AWS Management Console.
The AWS console is organized by types of services. The core types are compute, storage and content delivery, database, networking, administration, and security and analytics. Additional services fall into application services, deployment and management, mobile services, and enterprise applications.
The top level navigation page of the AWS console lists the several groups of services. Hovering or clicking on the name of each group displays a list of services. For example, the Storage and Content Delivery Group includes Amazon S3, Glacier, CloudFront and Storage Gateway. Some categories have up to six loosely related services. The Application Services Group contains Simple Queue Service, Simple Workflow, AppStream, Elastic Transcoder, Simple Email Service and CloudSearch. If you seem to use a trial and error approach to find the services you need, it is probably worth using one of the console features that offer more apparent access to services.
One of these convenient features is the history list which contains up to six of your most recently used services. If you regularly use several services, you can add them to the menu bar at the top of the management console. The top menu bar remains visible regardless of where you navigate in the console. This makes it especially useful if you find yourself routinely navigating to a particular service, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
Some common tasks, such as managing security groups, are performed from multiple places within the management console. The IAM page is a logical place to manage users, roles and security groups. If you are working with security groups applied to EC2 instances or Relational Database Services then you have the option of creating and managing security groups for those services within their specific areas of the management console.
Not all services follow the same user interface design patterns for performing some of these common tasks. For example, in the EC2 area of the console, a menu on the left side lists AWS components that you can manage from that page -- this menu includes security group management. Other services do not always follow this useful side menu design. When you are working with the Elastic MapReduce console, you have to set up a cluster to display a configuration page that includes security group management options.
One of the most important pieces of information displayed on the management console menu bar is the AWS region. You must select a region in order to view and manage resources in that region. When you work with multiple regions, it is easy to forget to switch regions to view your full complement of allocated resources and components. Some services, such as S3 and IAM, are global resources and do not require a specific region.
The AWS Management Console is easy to use once you are familiar with the location of particular services and operations. It is especially useful when you are deploying new sets of services, or monitoring and reviewing the status of currently running instances. However, there are times when the management console is not the best tool to use. If you need to perform an operation repeatedly it is probably more efficient and consistent to write a script that employs the command-line interface. If you prefer to work with your favorite scripting language, you can use cloud scripting libraries, such as Boto for Python and Fog for Ruby.

The Binary House by Christopher Polly Architect is a crafted lightweight volume that has been carefully connected to the retained and refashioned rear of an original 1960's yellow brick envelope.
This critically acclaimed project enacts clear planning, cost and environmental values in an articulated binary composition. Ultimately it is a cellular and private front, with an open and public rear that expands to its setting.
The original bungalow maintains its modern heritage values, enabling the cultural memory of its suburban type to be preserved within its locality, while also supporting environmental and budget outcomes. Its interior carefully configures an ambitious program of bedrooms and utility spaces, while vaulted skylights carved within the original roof form expand several spaces to light and sky. A sharply folding intermediary form spatially unlocks a compressed front hall while allowing the location of interstitial courtyards for light, ventilation and multiple aspects at the center of the plan – in turn promoting a spatial interplay of private and public rooms across front and rear zones.
The two-storey pavilion provides a volumetrically expansive double-height living area enabled via surrendered upper floor area and rigorously organised circulation, and serves as a generously proportioned 'garden room' with large apertures capturing sky and landscape views.
The stair element extends the established circulation condition from the original front entry, while also marking a loose threshold for the arrangement of two smaller rooms at one end of its volume – a ground level kitchen and a flexible upper floor sitting room that is adaptable as a bedroom or future study.
Glazing arrangements harness natural light and promote passive cooling and heating, while external retractable blinds temper direct sunlight when required. It employs an approach to enable a strong focus of the memory and character of the existing fabric within the palette of new rear spaces, and celebrates its modest domestic intentions with enhanced amenity for meals preparations, dining and direct connections to outdoor spaces.
An opaque southern face mitigates significant overlooking from an adjacent neighbour, while a northern blade screen and a pinched rear profile enable greater solar access onto the generous thermal mass of a reverse concrete-veneer wall and ground floor slab – with a cantilevered terrace edge and sculpted step element doubling as seats for enjoyment of the garden.

Factors To Put In Mind When Choosing Limo Services
A limo is the abbreviation of the word limousine. The vehicle is driven by a chauffeur. There is a compartment where the driver dwells and a section for the passenger. The vehicle limousine is rented by customers for different occasions. renting the vehicle can be done by the owner or a company who conduct this kind of business. A limo is hired during weddings and other parties that could be fun. To ensure that you get the best services, there are some aspects that you should keep in mind so as to ensure that you get the best service.
You should weight the cost of this service rendered by the company. Do your research on different companies that are giving the same service and eventually come up with the company that charges best. You should not shy off from asking for discounts from the companies especially on the peak season. the cost may differ depending on time that you will have the vehicle. The cost may be determined by the distance that you cover.
Check the insurance cover of the vehicle or the company offering the service. Insurance ensures safety when you are using the limo. You can insist to the company so that they can show you their insurance documents. There are some insurance companies who display their insurance documents in their offices hence making it easier for the clients to see. insurance covers you when you are using the vehicle against any kind of risk.
Before you buy the services in a company, make sure that you know enough about them. You can get this by checking online reviews. Make sure that the customers have reviewed positively about the company. The reviews could be the best lead of you getting to know how the company is. Ensure that the company has reliability and safety for the customers. You can also take reviews from friends who have received the services from the same company. You can also get information from family.
You can opt for a company that offers a contract that is written down. Read through the documents so that you can be sure of what it states. This can offer important info about the contract. Choose another option if the company does not offer written contracts.
Opt for a company that has been in business for a longer time. This can reflect that the company is experienced. An experienced company knows how to deal with issues.
Be aware of the process of hiring the driver. The driver should have the driving skills and also experienced. You do not want to deal with traffic offence cases while you are enjoying your trip or holiday. The driver should have skills on how to deliver high end client services.

I've thought about that one before, and I figure that could be mitigated with a difficulty setting. Easy uses maxxed out stats, hard uses new-character stats, etc... with extra magic potions... maybe a little play-testing to find the right balance between hard and impossible.Or, if you're working on the formulae/at the source level, simply redo the formulae without any reference to player stats. Find something reasonable/playable.
I don't know what Shivers 2 ran on but I know SCI32 is C++.Shivers 2 used external (C++) DLLs for all the rooms, but was actually SCI32 underneath. They had a glue layer making the innards of the interpreter callable from the DLLs. Shivers 2 is one of the reasons why I don't believe for a minute that

It is much more likely that it was being rewritten because they needed to shoehorn that in. Some of the internal changes corroborate it.

cramming things like the game's icon bar, control panel, and inventoryAll of these will be required often to semi-often in normal use. There's a risk in not being able to pull them up if you're low on memory because their memory footprint was not accounted for earlier. What if you're prevented from saving/restoring/quitting? Putting up a death message? Using a critical object?
I wonder why the demos for GK1, QFG4, and PQ4 used SCI1.1 instead of SCI2? My guess is that the 32-bit engine was not yet ready to be used, so the designers used the older 16-bit engine during development, then ported it to SCi2 when the full games were completed.Well, things like the polygon editor do not work in SCI2. If you try, you're told to use SCI16 (i.e. SCI1.1), so they definitely had to use it for some things. And we all know how buggy QfG4 was on release (we are getting script patches for the QfG4 bugs in ScummVM, but the number of patches is crazy).

If you're sure you have a proper Android Nougat phone that can support high-demand virtual reality tasks and have a Daydream View headset destined for the mailbox (if it isn't already taken out of it already), then you're almost ready to experience a whole new suite of VR apps on Android.
One of them is YouTube VR, an app that is 360-degree all ways from the user interface to the viewing experience — no more fumbling with your phone on the regular YouTube app before clumsily trying to dive that phone back into its proper Cardboard slot. And in addition to immersive videos (with 3D, if the creators fancy), you've got access to plain 'ol squares and rectangles, too. Spatial audio is also implemented into your experience to weird your ears out when you whip your head around.
The app is available from the Play Store and from mirror sites if you feel mischievous with your other VR solutions.
Oddly enough, the only featured review for the app so far has a one-star rating and pleads with Google to just "add the functionality to the YouTube app", though the thought of bloating up the regular app with all the infrastructure these VR features need is just unpleasant, especially if there's a limited device compatibility pool in the beginning.

Invasion ecology is saturated with many hypotheses (Catford, Jansson & Nilsson, 2009). One of these is the Enemy Release Hypothesis (ERH) (Keane & Crawley, 2002), which posits that exotics become more abundant and distributed through relative release: greater natural enemy impact on natives than the exotic, in the introduced range. Despite the intuitive nature of the ERH, evidence for the hypothesis remains equivocal it (Jeschke et al., 2012). To the detriment of the ERH, studies are heavily driven to identify traits of invasiveness (Colautti et al., 2004). Studies have thus been rendered unable to fully explore the ERH. It is concluded that the ERH is in need of long-term exclusion experiments in invaded plant communities to address this issue. Exclusion experiments must be designed to investigate all the assumptions of the ERH, using population dynamics as a measure of enemy impact whilst long-term studies are highly desired to achieve greater certainty in the dynamics observed (Allan & Crawley, 2011).
What is the ERH?
The ERH states that exotic plants can become invasive by experiencing less regulation, than native plants, by enemies in their introduced habitat. This relative release allows the exotic species to increase in abundance and distribution (Keane & Crawley, 2002). Although widely used, the ERH remains a controversial topic in invasion ecology and no general consensus has been established on how to test it (Jeschke et al., 2012). How can such a seemingly simple hypothesis baffle the scientific community for so long? The aim of this literature review is not to debate the place the ERH has in invasion ecology, but to address the issues the ERH is currently facing. It is imperative that a consensus is reached on how to study the ERH, however, so that its viability as a tool in invasion ecology can be established. Ultimately, understanding the processes of invasion is vital to secure global biodiversity, as invasive plant species are regarded as one of the major culprits of global biodiversity loss (Vitousek et al., 1997).
Figure 1. A guide on exploring the assumptions of the ERH. Regulation refers to the regulation of population dynamics. Competitors are the native species in the introduced community. Positive changes in abundance and distribution are true measures of invasiveness.
Exploring the assumptions
The ERH has three assumptions: (1) natural enemies are important in the regulation of plant populations; (2) in the introduced community, the impact of enemies is greater on native plant populations than on exotic populations; and (3) exotic populations capitalise on this relatively lower enemy impact (relative release) through increased abundance and distribution (Keane & Crawley, 2002). When studying the ERH it is vital to incorporate all three assumptions into the experimental design (figure 1), otherwise the study would lack a full analysis of the ERH.
(1) Enemy regulation of plant population dynamics
There is a distinct lack of studies in invasion ecology that investigate how herbivores regulate plant population dynamics. Instead, enemy impact has often been measured by its effect on plant performance. Yet, Crawley (1989) has highlighted that although herbivores may lower the performance of their host plant, there may be no effect on plant population dynamics. The extrapolation of performance to population dynamics is unreliable, as it is highly context specific. For instance, the effects of granivory have no effect on plants whose populations are not seed-limited. More recently, Allan & Crawley (2011) have shown that the exclusion of insects in an English acid mesotrophic grassland decreased total plant species richness from an average of 12.5 species in 4-m2 control plots to 9.4 species (p = 0.019). Holcus mollis, by increasing in abundance, was the only species to benefit from insect exclusion. Therefore, insects regulated the abundance of H. mollis and this had positive effects on other grass species. Although molluscs and vertebrates were also excluded, the study did not aim to exclude all possible natural enemies, such as nematodes and fungal pathogens. These natural enemies could have significant effects on plants (Reinhart et al., 2003 and Callaway et al., 2004). The broad-spectrum nature of fungicides and some pesticides, however, risks upsetting mutualist and commensal interactions above and below the soil. Most illuminating of all, the effects of invertebrate exclusion only became apparent after 8 years (Allan & Crawley, 2011). In future, studies must aim for long-term investigation to ascertain the importance of insect regulation.
Studies of the ERH are short-term, focussing on damage (herbivore damage, attack rate, load and diversity) or performance of plants (usually expressed using population parameters) (Colautti et al., 2004; Liu & Stiling, 2006 and Chun, van Kleunen & Dawson, 2010). For example, a short-term insect exclusion by MacDonald & Kotanen (2010) has investigated the impact of insects on seedling germination and survivorship; and adult survivorship, growth and fecundity on common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia). They have concluded that natural enemies are likely to be ineffective in controlling common ragweed. As a short-term study, the certainty of their conclusion is doubtful, as previously shown (Allan & Crawley, 2011). Additionally, without linking performance to the population dynamics of the common ragweed, any conclusion on the effectiveness of insects controlling common ragweed is premature. The same can be said for all other short-term, damage and performance driven studies of the ERH.
(2) Relative release
The impact of natural enemies is assumed to be greater on native populations than on exotic populations because natural enemies in the introduced range lack the evolutionary history with which to locate, utilise the resources and tolerate the defences of the exotic. Studies testing the preference of native herbivores for exotics or natives have not found a consistent pattern (Agrawal & Kotanen, 2003; Parker & Gilbert, 2007; Proches et al., 2008; White, Sims & Clarke, 2008; and Parker et al., 2012). As for impact, studies are superficially equivocal (Agrawal & Kotanen, 2003; Cincotta, Adams & Holzapfel, 2009; Chun, van Kleunen & Dawson, 2010 and Jeschke et al., 2012). Unfortunately, population dynamics in response to herbivory were not used as a measure of impact.
(3) Relative release leads to invasiveness
To establish that a species' invasiveness is caused by the ERH, it is vital to demonstrate that relative enemy release has led to increased abundance and distribution. Keane & Crawley (2002) have proposed an empirical model by which to encompass all assumptions of the ERH. The model proposes that enemy exclusion can be used to measure enemy release (table 1). Since the ERH provides exotic species with a competitive advantage when enemy regulation is relatively lower than natives, there should be no competitive advantage for the exotics when all enemies in the community are excluded. Thus, in an exclusion plot, expect the invasive to have a lower abundance relative to the control plot, if it benefits from ERH.
Table 1. Keane & Crawley's (2002) empirical model for testing the enemy release hypothesis. Exclosure treatments must exclude all enemies. The abundance of exotic species is compared between control and exclosure treatments. The level of enemy release is determined when the abundance of the exclosure exotic species is subtracted from that of the control exotic species. The role of enemy release in the exotic plant invasion is revealed when the level of enemy release is compared to the abundance of the exotic as found in the introduced community.
Impact in biogeographic and community studies
Over the last decade, studies have not employed the empirical model (table 1). Instead, the usual biogeographic and community studies have persisted (Colautti et al., 2004; DeWalt, Denslow & Ickes, 2004; Genton et al., 2005; Liu & Stiling, 2006; Ebeling, Hensen & Auge, 2008; Adams et al., 2009; Chun, Kleunen & Dawson, 2010; and Jeschke et al., 2012). Biogeographic studies compare native and introduced populations of a species and have the potential to answer: does a species have an intraspecific difference in natural enemy impact in its native and introduced range (Liu & Stiling, 2006)? The intraspecific nature of biogeographic comparisons mean that biotic interactions in the introduced community cannot be studied, thus assumptions 2 and 3 are left unsatisfied. Community studies compare the invasive species to other native species in the introduced community and have the potential to answer: does an invasive species have an interspecific difference in natural enemy impact in its introduced range (Liu & Stiling, 2006)? In the light of the ERH assumptions, it becomes clear that only community studies have the potential to explore them all, because community studies have the potential to explore biotic interactions between the invasive and the species in the introduced community (figure 1).
To date, all ERH studies have been short-term and use population parameters as indicators of impact (Chun, van Kleunen & Dawson, 2010 and Jeschke et al., 2012). A point and a fault much laboured; no matter how intriguing the trait differences may be, whether intraspecific or interspecific, they do not fit in the scheme of the ERH because these traits do not necessarily grant increased abundance and distribution (Crawley, 1989). With respect to intraspecific trait comparison, trait differences may occur due to enemy release or various other competing mechanisms: phenotypic plasticity, founder effects, evolution of increased competitive ability, abiotic factors or a combination of these (Liu & Stiling, 2006). Finally, the use of traits as opposed to population dynamics renders current community studies only able to answer: do invasive species have different traits than native species?
The empirical model
The empirical model (Keane & Crawley, 2002) is able to study the population dynamics of the invasive species and of the native community. Being able to track the population dynamics of the invasive allows one to determine whether the invasive species satisfies assumption 1. Through the use of enemy exclusion, one can determine whether enemy release granted the invasive species a competitive advantage or not, assumption 2. Finally, assumption 3 is determined through the determination of the level of enemy release (table 1) (Keane & Crawley, 2002). However, exclusion treatments must attempt not to interfere with commensals and mutualists (Allan & Crawley, 2011). Exclusion of vertebrates is easily achieved through fencing. However, species-specific pesticides are lacking and so the exclusion of arthropod enemies without non-target influence may be difficult to achieve for some plant communities. Furthermore, exclusion treatments may require almost a decade to illuminate population dynamics (Allan & Crawley, 2011).
The long-term nature of the empirical model is most pressing in a world of rapid globalisation and species loss (Purvis & Hector, 2000). Despite this, future studies in invasion ecology should focus on employing the long-term empirical model because the fruits of its research will aid in determining whether the use of biological control may be feasible on a given invasive, especially when the risks of biological control are not yet fully understood (Simberloff & Siling, 1996). There is no need to risk a community with biological control, if the invasive species is unlikely to be regulated by natural enemies. Ultimately, the empirical model will yield full evaluation of the ERH after which it becomes possible for the invasion ecology community to answer: how useful is the ERH in predicting invasion?
The focus of ERH studies must shift away from intraspecific biogeographic comparisons and the habit of measuring enemy impact using population parameter or other traits. Studies must begin to focus on: long-term community studies of the population dynamics of the invasive and its competitors in response to the inclusion/exclusion of natural enemies. When enough data accrues, the usefulness of the ERH in predicting invasion can finally be determined.

One of the goals of an organizational learning program is to empower employees to improve their job performance, which in turn will drive results that support business objectives. Today, there is a need to train more employees more often due to rapidly changing systems and policies. All this must occur with training budgets that are constrained. One solution is blended learning.
In 2015, a Training Magazine learning survey reported that 31.9 percent of all training was delivered in a blended format.[1] This was based on defining blended learning differently than it has been in the past. The definition has changed in recent years from a blend of classroom training and eLearning to more complex learning solutions that include synchronous and asynchronous modalities.
What are some of the new modalities? They include eLearning as well as coaching, mentoring, job aids, simulations, web-based courseware, online references, games, Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS), and other forms of e-based information sharing. This approach also supports informal on-the-job training where 70 to 90 percent of workplace learning occurs.
There are some blended learning best practices that aid organizations in implementing programs to boost employee performance and inject some excitement about learning technology. Examples include:
- Focus on the objective first and learning technology tools second. The technology should fit into the training plan and provide interactive scenarios, simulations, gaming, and exercises that enhance the experience. Never use technology merely for the sake of demonstrating modern advancements in learning technology.
- Set goals and expectations in advance. Learners must know why the technology is there and how they can benefit from it.
- Develop effective online assessments that help learners test their understanding.
- Research employee needs and preferences. Use surveys and interviews to find out what they need to get out of a training experience.
The challenge of blended learning is to strike a balance between the instructional advantages to the learner and the learning objective. Advantages of blended learning include allowing learners to pick and choose how they want to learn plus offering greater flexibility and convenience on when they want to learn. For the organization the benefits include:
- Reduction in training costs in the form of less facilitator fees, less classroom expenses, and no travel and accommodation expenses
- Enhanced employee engagement as employees gain control over their training with the ability to use mobile devices or laptops when and where it is convenient
- Enhanced corporate training effectiveness with the addition of new elements in the learning process
- More effective and efficient training feedback by allowing collection of valuable data through online quizzes, tests, and monitoring of activity
- Learning can occur over a longer period of time
When compared to their lower-performing counterparts, high-performing organizations (HiPOs) do a much better job of delivering blended experiences for their employees. HiPOs repeatedly demonstrate annual increases in key performance indicators such as revenue, customer satisfaction, and market penetration.
Here are some things that HiPOs do to create positive learning environments in their blended programs:
- HiPOs are 43 percent more likely to initiate coaching and mentoring programs.
- Subject matter experts are easy to find within the organization.
- Special projects are available to learners on specific development paths.
- No-consequence scenarios and simulations are created to allow employees to learn a process or skill.
- Content is easily shared between learners.[2]
There have been several studies and reports over the last 15 years that concluded a blend of learning methods is better than any single learning delivery modality on its own, regardless of content. One study, the Thomson NETg Job Impact Study showed that blending of any type increases mastery of skills:
"Regardless of the specific instructional components used, a well-defined learning solution designed around scenario-based exercises heightens overall on-the-job performance (speed and accuracy) over non-blended learning."[3]
Though important to carry out a blended learning program, technology infrastructure alone cannot make blended learning effective. However, having a Learning Management System (LMS) available to track the completion of each component of the learning solution is very important. With Experience API (xAPI), the successor to SCORM, every aspect of the blended learning solution can be tracked in the Learning Record Store (LRS). The LRS does not replace the LMS since the LMS manages other things like users, enrollments, class sessions, facilitator assignments, documents, and discussion groups in addition to running reports. The LRS is usually embedded in the LMS or alongside it.
In conclusion, it is important to understand that an effective organizational training program rarely involves an all-or-nothing approach. In order to meet learning objectives, certain training is better suited for a classroom setting. To meet other learning objectives, some subjects are best delivered through an online environment. Blended learning merges both classroom and online plus many other modalities. To be successful, it is important to design a program that considers the full spectrum of learning modalities.

A little stress during examination time can be a good thing, it inspires you to put in hard work. However, stress levels can often get out of hand, specifically at the end of an academic year.
What is stress?
It is the body's natural defence towards predators and danger. It flushes the body with hormones to prepares systems to confront or evade danger. This is identified as the "fight-or-flight" mechanism.
Being in a state of stress can be noticed through many changes, including changes to the body such as; blood pressure rises, breathing faster, digestive system slows down, muscles become tense and a lack of sleep.
There are also emotional and behavioural indications of stress. Emotional indicators include; anger, anxiety, burnout, lack of concentration, depression, nail-biting, sadness and many other facets. Some behavioural fluxes may be food cravings (eating too much or too little), drug and alcohol abuse, social withdrawal and crying.
The examination period for a student may cause Acute stress. This is short-term stress and is the most common way that stress occurs. Acute stress is usually caused by thinking about the pressure of an event that has recently occurred or is an upcoming demand in the near future. For example, an examination period is a temporary event where students need to be in a clear and focused frame of mind but also put in an immense amount of hard work and effort into doing well.
What can you do?
The first step is to establish a plan of action by well organising and preparing your time and workloads. This will help the "out-of-control feeling". The second step is to start to understand the physiological responses occurring in your body and try to adjust them.
There are 21 tips to minimize or eradicate examination stress.
Prior to the exam:
- Study in conditions similar to your test room
- Make use of past exam papers for revision
- Manage your study time wisely by having a work plan to guide you on what to study and how much time you have on it
- Start a study group
- Use flow charts and diagrams
- Take frequent breaks
- Stay hydrated
- Reward yourself for your study time, for example, studying for 3 hours the talking an hour to watch your favourite show
- Exercise
- Eat healthy foods
- Get enough sleep
On the exam day:
- Arrive early for your exam to avoid rushing
- Read instructions carefully
- Recognize test anxiety
- Remember to breathe
- Stretch your muscles
- Review all your answers when complete
- Don't think about it
- Take time off
- Treat it as a learning experience
- Treat yourself to something nice
In conclusion, dealing with stress is very imperative, particularly exam stress. For students' exams are a crucial part of their education. It is important to approach these exams with a clear mind and comprehension of how to deal with stressful situations more broadly. Exam stress is all in one's mind. Mental discipline is a large facet of what is required to succeed.
Keep Calm and Study Hard


text: We present a direct measurement of trilinear gauge boson couplings at gamma WW and ZWW vertices inWW and WZ events produced in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1:96 TeV. We consider events with one electron or muon, missing transverse energy, and at least two jets. The data were collected using the D0 detector and correspond to 1:1 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity. Considering two different relations between the couplings at the gamma WW and ZWW vertices, we measure these couplings at 68% C.L. to be kappa(gamma) = 1.07(-0.29)(+0.26) lambda = 0.00(-0.06)(+0.00), and g(1)(Z) = 1.04(-0.09)(+0.09) in a scenario respecting SU(2)(L) circle times U(1)(Y) gauge symmetry and kappa = 1.04(-0.11)(+0.11) and lambda = 0.00(-0.06)(+0.06) in an "equal couplings'' scenario.

I was thinking it might be time to "phone a friend" on this
I think (correct me if I'm wrong @Gregolas and @Hunter) - we're all pretty good with OS of Physics, Failure/Good, Change character.
And I think at the element level Help/Hinder make a lot of sense.
There have been some questions of whether the MC might be in Mind rather than Universe, since it does seem that he has kind of fixed attitudes about a lot of things. I am not convinced, mainly because I have trouble seeing him as a Be-er. In our original (MC in Universe) storyform, we have his Issue in Preconception, which I think kind of covers the things that might look like Mind issues.
But that still leaves us with the question of how to illustrate how his personal issues are in Universe, from the very beginning of the story.
And the Decision vs. Action driver which we never resolved.
That works for me! I think it fits the whole thematic argument of the movie too.
Mmmaybe? Except, I don't really see how having a lame sponsor is a problem. The closest it gets it "I don't like rusty cars, but being the spokesperson for Rust-eze means being around rusty cars." I guess that's a problem, sort of, but...hm. And it's never really said that he has a crappy pit crew, or that the crew is causing him problems. It's more like his attitude that he is a one-man show causes his crew to get angry and quit. It's also suggested several times that no one wants to work with him because he thinks he's a one-man show.
I think it may be starting to click for me after reading through some of your suggestions. If the Goal is to Obtain the Piston Cup, then OS SP 1 probably isn't also Obtaining the cup, but, rather, obtaining first place. I can see that as being problematic because every time someone does something to get in the lead (first Chick, and then Lightning) it ends up with them falling behind (when Lightning doesn't pit and gets into first, and then when Lightning passes on tire changes and lets Chick and the King catch up). So that does feel like Obtaining (Goal) through Obtaining (Sign Post). And then SP 4 problems are less about trying to get into first and more about dealing with being pushed off the track and drifting and driving backwards. (Again, hindering Lightning by pushing him off the track isn't a problem for Lightning who drifts into first place, but a problem for Chick who is then in third). So that could be Obtaining through Doing.
So still thinking about MC in Universe, I looked back at the theory book.
If the Main Character's Througline is Situation ... questions like the following would arise: What is it like to be in my situation? What is my status? What condition am I in? Where am I going to be in the future? What's so special about my past?
Thinking aloud:
Lightning is driven by his self-perceived status; his desire for status and his attitude toward it creates all of his problems, and that starts at the beginning of the movie. He thinks he's above everyone, especially his crew, which is how missing the first pit stop is an MC issue as well as an OS one. As an OS character, his goal is to win the Piston Cup. His personal goal, however, is to change his status.
This still feels very internal to me. But I can see that there is some status there with him being the rookie and the media flocking to him after the race rather than Chick and wanting to see the bolt.
But if everything in the first race were OS, then it shouldn't matter that Lightning isn't having Universe problems because at that point he would be an OS character and not the MC character, right? On the whole, I want to say he has more Universe problems than mind problems, but those Mind problems still feel very present. If lots of other people are also feeling this Universe/Mind mix, maybe that could be part of the reason for the lower RT score (though I think it has more to do with that slow SP 3).
Don't forget that both Issues we've chosen (Attitude and Preconception) are Mind-oriented Variations.
This thread just keeps on going, doesn't it?
Okay, so I'll start thinking of all the mind problems as being thematic in mature. Preconception/Attitude - "I'm a race car, dang it! Treat me like a famous person!"
Could problems of the Past have anything to do with the appearance at the Rust-eze tent? Lightning wants this high profile status, and that's a problem because he's stuck being a spokesman for a lame, small medicated bumper ointment company where he must be surrounded by rusty cars?
(Edit: this would have to do with the past in that he has a past relationship with Rust-eze that he contractually can't get out of)
Cool! Plus, isn't using ointment to cover up your rust kind of like covering up your past, hiding your age, that kind of thing? "Ughh. I hate rusty cars. All this Past is not good for my image"
Question for you guys. If you're still a bit stuck on Do-er vs. Be-er MC (and I can see why), can you look at the IC? Not sure if that's mostly Doc or anyone else, but maybe it would be simpler to see if they're a Do-er or a Be-er.
This brings me back to a question I've had before and never asked because it didn't seem like a very important distinction when I could just go for the most dramatic option available. But my first thought was "the Past is not good for my image" seems like conflict, but not necessarily a problem. As far as Dramatica and Jim and all are concerned, are conflict and problem interchangeable? Are problems worse than conflict? If they aren't the same, is conflict enough, or does it need to be a bigger problem? Or am I getting it backwards and it's not enough to have a problem because there needs to be more conflict?
This is a good idea. Except I would get into all the nit picky overthinking just as much. Is the IC supposed to be a Be-er, or is it more about how he's influencing the Do-er MC to be a Be-er? Does Doc have a fixed Mind, is he influencing Lightning's Mind? He seems to be influencing Lightning's Situation. He's the one that sentences Lightning to fix the road and makes sure he only has a gallon of gas. Isn't that an IC throughline of Universe?
By the way, I definitely think Doc feels like a Be-er. "Get that race car out of my town! What? Have him fix the road? Okay, whatever. Have him fix the road!"
I figured the King's speech was OS Attitude v Approach. I feel like I may be reaching rather than using what's in the movie, but I'm thinking when Doc comes into the court room and sees Lightning, he remembers being a race car and what it was like for him and wants Lightning out of his courtroom. The audience wouldn't know until later in the film that it was a memory behind this-as opposed to a preconscious reflex stemming from a prejudice against race cars or something-until it's revealed in a later SP.
We've gone deep into this analysis, and despite my best Conragonistic efforts to talk us out of it, I'm feeling pretty happy with our MC Universe, Problem of Hinder storyform. Even if Jim were to come say, no, you're all wrong, I still feel like we've got some great arguments and I've learned some good stuff from the interactions in this thread. Thanks, @Lakis, @Hunter et al for going so far into it with me!
That said, we still haven't figured out those darn drivers! I've just about argued myself into seeing it as Action, but all the choices we've made force Decision. So now I'm wondering, can the Decision driver be the LACK of a decision? As in, the three way tie failed to offer a decisive champion? (Did someone bring this up already? I feel like I got this idea from someone else)
Actually, we can enter Changed, Stop, Do-er, Linear, Spacelock, Failure, Good, Physics, Obtaining, Attitude, Hinder in 11 of the 12 Questions and get everything but the Signposts filled out. So, our major Storyform choices don't actually force anything.
That is an excellent question. I wish I knew.
Honestly, I like the Signpost order a bit better for Decision than for Action, but only so much. Originally, I was having a hard time pinpointing the decisions or deliberations that could mark turning points. But, now I have some.
The problem is that I can also pinpoint actions near the same locations as these...Plus, most of these feel more like they were forced by a previous Action, as indicated.
*Throws things on the floor in frustration*This is the biggest part of the theory that I just can't wrap my head around. Driver is more difficult for me than the RS seems to be for most everyone else. (Interestingly, I actually understand the RS fairly well, I think, due to knowing some non-English words for various relationships.)
Ah, maybe I was thinking of one of the forms I was trying to get that kept forcing decision.
Perhaps you could, if so inclined, start a new thread to share some insights?
I would say refusing tire changes and getting flats don't drive the story. They lead to a tie, but it's the tie that drives the story. And though I've waffled on this, I think refusing the change could be a decision followed by the flats that lead to the decision of a three way tie.
The decision to roll through the night led to tearing up the town. Also, tearing up the town doesn't change the course of the story. Doc dismissed the case, after all. It's only after the decision is made to make him fix the road that the story changes.
The King crashing doesn't stop Lightning from crossing the line. Making the decision to go back and help stops him, and the action that follows-pushing the King across the line-solves all the story problems.
That's it. I'm sold on Decision now. Same thing we had about 100 posts ago!
Drivers are super hard for me too! The whole chicken-egg thing makes it super hard.
But hold on, I think a race ending in a three-way tie has to be an Action driver, not a Decision driver.
(Yes, I think lack of a Decision could be a legitimate Decision driver, like a jury coming back and saying "we're hopelessly deadlocked". But, I'd say that rolling a die or picking a name from a hat or deciding a winner based on a sporting contest are all almost certainly Action-driven. Still, this question is worthy of a separate thread.)
Meanwhile, Lightning refusing a tire change could be a decision (though that wouldn't necessarily make it the driver). It could be the First Driver if it feels like it really forced the three-way tie and that it really was a decision, not something he "just did".
I would definitely agree that coming in first is an Action. But being unable to decide who was first seems much more like a decision. It even forces the action of another race.
Look at Rocky. If he goes down in the first round by knockout, that's an action. But that's not how the winner was decided. After twelve rounds both boxers were still standing and Apollo Creed only won by decision. And Rocky, despite all the boxing and training, is a Decision-driven story.
Here are the two instances that really confuse me with the drivers in this movie:
With that said, the lower score on Rotten Tomatoes, and the seemingly easy Signpost orders for both Action and Decision, I'm wondering if this is a Story Point that didn't fully make it into the movie. (Other than the virtually absent OS SP 3). If that's the case, then perhaps the story isn't entirely complete but comes darn close.
I think we might need some additional help for this point...
Wow, this has been a long thread! Very instructive though--I feel like I've learned a lot. Thanks @Hunter and @Gregolas for all the good discussion.
Reading the last few posts, I kept bouncing back and forth between Action and Decision myself.
I argued earlier that Decision makes for a better signpost order (especially when we were looking at the PSR) but that's only true for parts of it; I actually think Action makes more sense in places. I also think there are places where neither option makes sense. For example, I think the discovery that Doc is the Hudson Hornet happens right in the middle of the movie, which would suggest that either Signpost 2 or 3 should have something about Memory or the Past in it, but there's no option for that with either Decision or Action.
So I guess I'm throwing my hands up on this too.
OS Signpost 3 is Learning - Lightning learns how to drive on the dirt track, he learns who Doc really is, and the media learns (from Doc) where Lightning really is. Do those count?
