Notice that in all the sets, the proper form of σ/ ς/ Σ is always automatically output: ασ ▸ ἃς ςυ ▸ σὺ ςτερεουσ ▸ στερεοὺς and even the barbarous αβυσςόσ will expand to ▸ ἄβυσσός, the correct form - etc. The other sets, while useful, may be disabled without impairing your ability to type polytonic Greek.ģ) Ἑλληνική 1 is the workhorse. If they are disabled, you will not automatically type polytonic Greek. By themselves, they contain the complete Greek vocabulary you need. If you need to correct any actual mistakes in Ἑλληνική 1, place your supplemental set above Ἑλληνική 1.ġ) As I said, an elementary knowledge of Greek is assumed, but you need not in the least be an expert.Ģ) The only essential sets are Ἑλληνική 1 and Ἑλληνική Capitalized. Because the basic set Ἑλληνική 1 is very large, however, any editing of it is very slow and checking it or unchecking it, or moving it to another position in the list, causes a one-time lag of about 90 seconds before Typinator becomes usable again: it is therefore recommended you not modify that set frequently, but create your own supplemental set, which from time to time you can fold in while you pour yourself a cup of coffee. You will be able to enter polytonic Greek at least about 60% as fast as you do your native language, and you will make far fewer typos.Ģ) If you need Polytonic Greek only in certain applications or wish to exclude it in certain applications, choose "Application Settings" from the Action menu and enable the " Ἑλληνική" sets only for the desired applications.ģ) My sets are by and large best kept in the following order:Ĥ) You may of course modify these sets as needed. Don't let that warning scare you, though when you're using the set, it will keep up with your fastest typing: only the editing is affected, and only if you are somewhat impatient. Ἑλληνική 1 is a very large set and it is recommended you enable it only when you are about to use it, and that you disable it when you are not using it. Unless you rename them, their names all start with " Ἑλληνική". You do proofread, of course.ġ) To disable Polytonic Greek temporarily, open the Typinator window and turn off the checkboxes in the set list. Over 90% of ancient Greek vocabulary is covered, and in terms of frequency, about 99.8% in practice, this means that, subject to the usage detailed below, you will be able to type several pages of polytonic Greek at a run without inserting any other diacritical. The "abbreviations" in these sets are complete words of ancient Greek stripped of their breathings, accents, and subscripts. Unstuff the group and put in the same folder with your other Typinator sets. Download the Polytonic Greek Typinator sets (73‑MB zipfile)

Very challenging to obtain – requires a full raid of experienced players But whenever the exact value matters, sliders are not okay. Thus, Kayak may get away with using sliders for duration and arrival and departure hours, as most users will be fine with a departure time that is, say, midday, and won’t care to specify the exact moment of the departure. Sliders work best when the specific value does not matter to the user, but an approximate value is good enough. Is an Exact Value Necessary?Īllowing the selection of a very specific value is often not necessary, nor very helpful, to the user. Unless you want to render these users helpless, a slider control may not be the best choice. Would they be able to select a value even close to what they wanted? How much effort and how many tries would it take them? Many older users have less steady hands than younger users and would have similar difficulties performing precise gestures to manipulate small UI elements. Think about how challenging it would be to interact with a slider control for users with motor difficulties. The Depart and Arrive sliders only allow whole hour values, but the Duration sliders force users to select a value down to the precise minute.Īnother major consideration when designing a touch interface is the accessibility of various UI elements. The Kayak app uses multiple sliders for filtering based on the time of flights. (The steering law also applies to drop-down menus and horizontal scrollbars.) With mobile devices being, well, mobile, it is not surprising that we see many users accidentally nudge the slider off the value they were attempting to select just as they lift their finger off the screen. Sliders are subjected to the steering law, which describes the time needed to navigate through a tunnel-as you might guess, the longer and narrower the tunnel, the more time it takes to steer through it. In such circumstances it can be daunting to tap and drag a control precisely to a particular spot. For mobile design in particular, users often hold their device in one hand while doing other activities-watching television, walking, or even driving. When designing a usable UI we must consider the context in which the interface will be used. Especially on touch interfaces, the level of control needed to meticulously operate a slider to an exact value is simply not realistic.ĭefinition: A slider is a control element that uses a knob or lever moved horizontally to control a variable, such as volume on a radio or brightness on a screen. However, in practice, sliders are difficult to manipulate. Sliders are often the UI control of choice for letting users select a value or range from a fixed set of options. We won't all agree with the experts online and we don't have to, there are others to watch and listen to. The love for shaving itself came later when I actually started shaving for the first time. It was not even the shaving aspect that made me buy my first razor. I just love everything with great design. In the end, it is just shaving and a fun hobby to explore and share with others. I personally was always fascinated about straight razors because they come in so many different shapes and sized. My hope is that this gives us all a better understanding from the viewpoint of a vendor.

Earlier this month I was in Southern California on (shaving!) business. When pressure is exerted from rocks above, it is balanced from below and sides, and is called confining or lithostatic pressure. Pressure exerted on rocks under the surface is due to the simple fact that rocks lie on top of one another. Under directed stress, some stress directions (forces) are stronger than others, and this can deform rocks. Pressure (or confining pressure) has equal stress (forces) in all directions and increases with depth under the Earth’s surface. Confining Pressure Difference between pressure and stress and how they deform rocks. Strain is the result of this stress, including metamorphic changes within minerals. Stress is a scientific term indicating a force. The pressure that affects metamorphic rocks can be grouped into confining pressure and directed stress. Like heat, pressure can affect the chemical equilibrium of minerals in a rock. Pressure is the force exerted over a unit area on a material. Temperature increases with increasing depth in the Earth along a geothermal gradient (see Chapter 4) and metamorphic rock records these depth-related temperature changes. Higher temperatures would create magma, and thus, would no longer be a metamorphic process. Heat-driven metamorphism begins at temperatures as cold as 200˚C, and can continue to occur at temperatures as high as 700☌-1,100☌. The temperatures of metamorphic rock lies in between surficial processes (as in sedimentary rock) and magma in the rock cycle. In other words, this atom swapping can happen while the rock is still solid. At high temperatures atoms may vibrate so vigorously they jump from one position to another within the crystal lattice, which remains intact. Temperature changes affect the chemical equilibrium or cation balance in minerals. Temperature measures a substance’s energy-an increase in temperature represents an increase in energy. Rock texture is changed by heat, confining pressure, and a type of pressure called directed stress. During metamorphism, protolith chemistry is mildly changed by increased temperature (heat), a type of pressure called confining pressure, and/or chemically reactive fluids. Most metamorphic processes take place deep underground, inside the earth’s crust. Metamorphic source rocks, the rocks that experience the metamorphism, are called the parent rock or protolith, from proto– meaning first, and lithos- meaning rock. Metamorphism occurs when solid rock changes in composition and/or texture without the mineral crystals melting, which is how igneous rock is generated. Because metamorphism is caused by plate tectonic motion, metamorphic rock provides geologists with a history book of how past tectonic processes shaped our planet. And metamorphic rocks themselves can be re-metamorphosed. The rock cycle shows that both igneous and sedimentary rocks can become metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rock material has been changed by temperature, pressure, and/or fluids. Metamorphic rocks, meta- meaning change and – morphos meaning form, is one of the three rock categories in the rock cycle (see Chapter 1).

The genie builds Aladdin and his bride a wonderful palace, far more magnificent than the sultan's. With the aid of the genie of the lamp, Aladdin becomes rich and powerful and marries Princess Badroulbadour, the sultan's daughter (after magically foiling her marriage to the vizier's son). When his mother tries to clean the lamp, so they can sell it to buy food for their supper, a second far more powerful genie appears who is bound to do the bidding of the person holding the lamp. When he rubs his hands in despair, he inadvertently rubs the ring and a genie appears and releases him from the cave, allowing him to return to his mother while in possession of the lamp. Aladdin is still wearing a magic ring the sorcerer has lent him. After the sorcerer attempts to double-cross him, Aladdin finds himself trapped in the cave. The sorcerer's real motive is to persuade young Aladdin to retrieve a wonderful oil lamp (chirag) from a booby-trapped magic cave. He is recruited by a sorcerer from the Maghreb, who passes himself off as the brother of Aladdin's late father, Mustapha the tailor, convincing Aladdin and his mother of his good will by pretending to set up the lad as a wealthy merchant. Īladdin is an impoverished young ne'er-do-well, dwelling in "one of the cities of China". The following is a précis of the Burton translation of 1885. The story is often retold with variations. The Sorcerer traps Aladdin in the magic cave. Bottigheimer and Paulo Lemos Horta have argued that Hanna Diyab should be understood as the original author of some of the stories he supplied, and even that several of Diyab's stories (including Aladdin) were partly inspired by Diyab's own life, as there are parallels with his autobiography. As part of his work on the first critical edition of the Nights, Iraq's Muhsin Mahdi has shown that both these manuscripts are "back-translations" of Galland's text into Arabic. It was purchased by the Bibliothèque Nationale at the end of the nineteenth century. The other is supposed to be a copy Mikhail Sabbagh made of a manuscript written in Baghdad in 1703. One was written by a Syrian Christian priest living in Paris, named Dionysios Shawish, alias Dom Denis Chavis. Payne also records the discovery in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris of two Arabic manuscripts containing Aladdin (with two more of the "interpolated" tales). It was included in his volumes ix and x of the Nights, published in 1710, without any mention or published acknowledgment of Hanna's contribution. Galland's diary further reports that his transcription of "Aladdin" for publication occurred in the winter of 1709–10. According to Galland's diary, he met with Hanna, who had travelled from Aleppo to Paris with celebrated French traveller Paul Lucas, on March 25, 1709. John Payne quotes passages from Galland's unpublished diary: recording Galland's encounter with a Maronite storyteller from Aleppo, Hanna Diyab. Known along with Ali Baba as one of the "orphan tales", the story was not part of the original Nights collection and has no authentic Arabic textual source, but was incorporated into the book Les mille et une nuits by its French translator, Antoine Galland. The games in this list take inspiration from Alenda Chang’s Playing Nature book. These games encourage players to consider the impact of their actions on the environment, as well as their interconnectedness to the world in which they live. There are, however, many games that offer quite the reverse. It’s easy to assume that video games are all about building big cities or running successful economies. So now it’s time to voyage into the digital unknown, here are some easier to navigate game to help you on your way. From the option to swing through the city in high contrast mode, to the large objective icons and pinging backpacks, it’s easy to find your way around the richly detailed environment of New York city. The combination of audio cues and haptic feedback means you can enable constant prompts to help you navigate a dystopian and sometimes terrifying world.Ī game that combines a range of directional information into a fun experience is Spider-Man and the sequel Miles Morales. The standout example has to be The Last of Us Part II, designed with blind and low vision consultants, the game is possible to find your way through even with no useful vision. Some of my favourite games bring together these elements to make exploring a virtual world a treat rather than a chore. As in games like The Last of Us Part II this can include a camera view that will snap in the right direction, arrows or pointers, haptic feedback, audio cues or dialogue. Directional Cues: Once you have reached your destination, prompts or clues about where you might find what you are looking for are also important.Alternatively, making objectives obvious using lighting, key colours or camera views can make a game more navigable without adding complicated HUD mechanics. As in games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, it’s even better when you can customize these symbols so they are larger or appear more frequently. Objectives: Giving objectives, missions, collectables or even key interactions different colours or symbols means you can learn your way around a game quickly.As in games like Horizon Zero Dawn features like a compass, distance counter or radar can all be used to indicate in which direction an objective is. Head Up Displays: Heads Up Display or Navigational Display provides information about the relationship between your character or avatar and the space they are existing in.As in games like Spider-Man, it’s important that the world map is available from the beginning and supported by an easy to follow mini-map permanently on screen. Maps: A great starting point for being able to find your way around a game is a clear and detailed map. The games in this list make exploring a virtual world smoother and finding your next mission fun rather than frustrating! There are some important factors that make games easier to navigate and can support you to improve your way-finding skills: Not knowing where to go or feeling confused about how to move from one location to another can be a challenge for many gamers, including new or younger players, low vision gamers like me and those with cognitive impairments. However, getting unintentionally lost in a game is an all too common and very frustrating experience. Studies have shown that gaming improves both spatial awareness and navigation skills. I often face barriers when navigating the world, so it’s thrilling when I get to experience driving a fast car in the dystopian London of Watch Dogs Legion, swinging through New York as Spider-Man or climbing a mountain on a secret pirate island as Nathan Drake in Uncharted 4. This is particularly important to me as a low vision gamer. One of the joys of gaming are the places you get to explore that you would never be able to visit in real life. As a streamer and disability consultant, Amy passionately advocates for gaming to be accessible for everyone. We invited visually impaired video gamer, activist and campaigner Dr Amy Kavanagh to compile a list of games with helpful, well thought out and intuitive navigation. One of our favorite features is that Coggle lets you format your mind map items and messages with Markdown, so you can get as fancy as you need to while adding your text, images, and links to the canvas. Click the green X icon to hide it and the green question mark icon to bring it back. If you prefer to use keyboard shortcuts during your mind mapping process, there’s a cheat sheet of keyboard shortcuts in the bottom right corner of the canvas. But you can always drag the nodes around to rearrange into a format that fits your layout a little better. Each time you click on the plus sign to create a new child node, Coggle will automatically choose the direction and placement of the new node. The moment you log in to Coggle, you’ll see the central node of a new mind map, along with an enticing plus sign to get started adding new nodes and ideas. These apps all allow you to save your map and re-edit it at a future date, and they all offer the ability to either share maps online or export them. In all of the best mind mapping apps, you can attach links, images, and other files to your mind map.Ībility to save and export. Sometimes text isn’t enough to convey your ideas, or you want to include an external file as part of your brainstorming. Even if you can’t see your entire mind map at once, a practically unlimited canvas allows you to brainstorm until you’re done.Ībility to attach files. If your mind mapping canvas has unreasonable size limitations, it can cut your creativity short just because you run out of room. The app should just fade into the background like your web browser does. A digital approach is never going to be quite as simple, but after a short learning period, you shouldn’t have to dig through menus or stop to think about how to do something basic. Mind mapping with a pen and paper is really easy. The 11 best mind mapping tools What makes for great mind mapping software?Įach of the best mind mapping tools comes with unique benefits, but they all offer at least the following: We’re sure one of them will let you make the right map for your mind. We considered almost 40 different mind mapping tools, and after thorough testing, here we’ll show you the 11 best. You can also easily save your mind maps for later and share them with colleagues. Mind mapping is traditionally done with a blank piece of paper, but there’s a lot of advantages to digitizing the process: it’s more convenient, more flexible, and you’re not confined by the size of the paper you’re working with. You keep going, diving deeper until you’re out of ideas-and the relationships between things appear. You start by writing down a central idea or theme, then draw lines branching out into new “nodes,” each with their own related idea or theme. Mind mapping is a powerful creative exercise for brainstorming ideas and finding connections. In order to maintain an authenticated session with logind and to prevent bypassing the screen locker by switching terminals, Xorg has to be started on the same virtual terminal where the login occurred. Both startx and xinit execute ~/.xserverrc if it exists, startx will use /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc otherwise. The xserverrc file is a shell script responsible for starting up the X server. Prepending exec will replace the script process with the window manager process, so that X does not exit even if this process forks to the background. Note that some programs should instead not be forked, to avoid race bugs, as is the case of xrdb. Otherwise, the script would halt and wait for each program to exit before executing the window manager or desktop environment. Long-running programs started before the window manager, such as a screensaver and wallpaper application, must either fork themselves or be run in the background by appending an & sign. With this method you need to set each application's window geometry through its own configuration files (if possible at all).Note: At the very least, ensure that the last if block in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is present in your ~/.xinitrc file to ensure that the scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d are sourced. For example:Īlternatively the binary can be called directly from the command prompt as described in #Override xinitrc. It is possible to start only specific applications without a window manager, although most likely this is only useful with a single application shown in full-screen mode. $ startx ~/.xinitrc session Starting applications without a window manager # No known session, try to run it as command The following example shows how to start a particular desktop environment or window manager with an argument: If you are frequently switching between different desktop environments or window managers, it is convenient to either use a display manager or expand ~/.xinitrc to make the switching possible. Switching between desktop environments/window managers Tip: This method can be combined with automatic login to virtual console. See also Fish#Start X at login and Systemd/User#Automatic login into Xorg without display manager. If you want to take the risk and remain logged in when the X session ends, remove exec. The exec command ensures that the user is logged out when the X server exits, crashes or is killed by an attacker. You can replace the -eq comparison with one like -le 3 (for vt1 to vt3) if you want to use graphical logins on more than one virtual terminal.Īlternative conditions to detect the virtual terminal include "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1", which does not allow comparison with -le, and "$(fgconsole 2>/dev/null || echo -1)" -eq 1, which does not work in serial consoles. ~/.bash_profile for Bash or ~/.zprofile for Zsh): Place the following in your login shell initialization file (e.g. Make sure that startx is properly configured. See also #Starting applications without a window manager and Running program in separate X display. Tip: This can be used to start regular GUI programs but without any of the basic window manager features. See Xserver(1) for a list of all command line options. Therefore it is recommended to specify vt$XDG_VTNR in the ~/.xserverrc file:Įxec /usr/bin/Xorg -nolisten tcp vt$XDG_VTNR Note: At the very least, ensure that the last if block in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is present in your ~/.xinitrc file to ensure that the scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d are sourced.
