11/14/2023 0 Comments Storytelling naked![]() Once he was asleep she took a very sharp knife and gently cut one single whisker from the lion’s muzzle. Finally, after weeks of bringing the lion good things to eat and ever so slowly reaching out to pet him, he finally was so comfortable with the woman that he fell asleep under her stroking hand. She didn’t move but the lion saw her anyway and ran away. One morning she sensed the lion’s presence before she saw him. On the second day, she stayed a little longer and found a comfortable place to sit. On that day she saw nothing more than monkeys fighting in the trees and birds flying in the air. She was distraught, “How can I possibly get a whisker from a beast as fierce and powerful as a lion?” The shaman shrugged and left her to her tears.The next day she went to a place where she had once seen a lion. Then he told her to get a whisker from a live lion. I will make you a love potion - but you must go find one of the ingredients.” She said she would. When she was finished, he said, “I think I can help you. He listened patiently to the woman’s story. The more she tried to hug her husband, tease him, and draw him back to her, the worse it became. But since his return he was angry, distant, and humorless. She explained that before her husband fought in the war, he was warm, loving, and he laughed easily. Here’s another story:Ī woman begged the shaman for a potion to make her husband love her again. My impatience is making things worse.”Īnd who amongst us doesn’t need more patience? Yet, preach “Be more patient, be more patient,” to a bunch of smart executives, and I’ll guarantee increased patience will not be the first change you begin to notice in their behavior. Instead of telling someone, “You should be more patient,” you invite your listener to come to that conclusion independently: “Hey, I know what the problem is. Story is one of the most respectful ways to share knowledge, and thus, one of the most effective because it allows people to come to their own conclusions. ![]() My first ten years in management experience I worked that way. People don’t have flip-top heads that open up for you to shove information down. If it did, any of us who wanted to lose weight would only need to read one diet book. We need stories because cognitive learning doesn’t always cut it. They invited her to eat at their tables and warm herself by their fires. Clothed in story, Truth knocked again at the doors and was readily welcomed into the villagers’ houses. There, she dressed Truth in story, warmed her and sent her out again. Taking pity on her, Parable gathered her up and took her home. When Parable found her she was huddled in a corner, shivering and hungry. Truth, naked and cold, had been turned away from every door in the village. But how do I describe it? With a story of course. There’s something important going on here, I realized. I first began to study storytelling so that my presentations wouldn’t be boring - but as I worked on storytelling, storytelling started to work on me. That’s when I understood the power of storytelling. We were trained on every single word that came out of the storyteller. Jaws slackened, whole bodies became receptive. I can still recall sitting inside the festival tent and noticing the rapt attention of the people around me as a story was told. My dad thought it would be a great place for the family to get together, so he sent us all tickets. I went to my first storytelling festival as an adult. Annette Simmons spoke at the February 2002 APPL Masters Forum. We hope these features illuminate why ASK contributors use the story form to share their knowledge, and how you can do the same. This article by Annette Simmons marks the first in a series by authors whose work on storytelling has been widely recognized. Several other practitioners have successfully introduced this approach to knowledge management within organizations.
11/14/2023 0 Comments 1205 lock wait timeout exceeded![]() Preventing the “Lock wait timeout exceeded” error requires a combination of good database design and careful application development. How to Prevent “Lock Wait Timeout Exceeded” Error in MySQL Amazon RDS If multiple transactions are waiting for the same lock, you may need to modify your application code to reduce the likelihood of lock contention. To identify lock contention, you can use the MySQL command SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS to look for transactions that are waiting for locks. This can result in a deadlock, where neither transaction can proceed. Lock contention occurs when multiple transactions are attempting to acquire the same lock simultaneously. The thread ID can be obtained from the output of the SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS command.Īnother possible cause of the “Lock wait timeout exceeded” error is lock contention. To kill a transaction, you can use the MySQL command KILL. Once you have identified the long-running transactions, you can either optimize them to reduce their runtime or kill them if they are no longer necessary. Within this section, you can look for transactions that have been running for an extended period of time. This command will display a wealth of information about the current InnoDB status, including a section on transactions. To identify long-running transactions, you can use the MySQL command SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS. If a transaction holds a lock for an extended period of time, other transactions will be unable to acquire the lock and will eventually time out. ![]() One common cause of this error is long-running transactions. When troubleshooting the “Lock wait timeout exceeded” error, the first step is to identify the cause of the issue. How to Troubleshoot “Lock Wait Timeout Exceeded” Error in MySQL Amazon RDS If the transaction is unable to acquire the lock within this time frame, it will result in the “Lock wait timeout exceeded” error. By default, the maximum amount of time a transaction can wait for a lock is 50 seconds. The “Lock wait timeout exceeded” error occurs when a transaction is unable to acquire a lock within a specified amount of time. Other transactions that want to modify the same data must wait for the lock to be released before they can proceed. When a transaction modifies a piece of data, it acquires a lock on that data. MySQL uses locks to ensure that multiple transactions do not simultaneously modify the same data. In order to understand the cause of the “Lock wait timeout exceeded” error, it’s important to understand how MySQL handles locks. ![]() What Causes “Lock Wait Timeout Exceeded” Error in MySQL Amazon RDS? In this article, we will discuss what causes the “Lock wait timeout exceeded” error message, how to troubleshoot the issue, and how to prevent it from occurring in the first place. This can be frustrating, but fortunately, there are ways to handle this issue. ![]() This error message indicates that the query was unable to obtain a lock on the necessary table or row due to another transaction holding the lock for too long. As a data scientist or software engineer working with MySQL Amazon RDS, you may have experienced the error message “Lock wait timeout exceeded” while trying to execute a query. ![]() 11/14/2023 0 Comments Hp photosmart c3180 driver software![]() ![]() Browser - Google Chrome 10+, Internet Explorer (IE)10.0+, and Firefox 3.6.x, 12.Browser - Google Chrome 10+, Internet Explorer (IE)10.0+, and Firefox 3.6.x, 12.0+.Operating System - Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Download the latest drivers, firmware, and software for your HP Photosmart C3100 All-in-One Printer series.This is HP’s official website that will help automatically detect and download the correct drivers free of cost for your HP Computing and Printing products for Windows and Mac operating system.Remove "HP Support Solutions Framework" through Add/Remove programs on PC.Please help HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One Printer personal information removed Product Number Q8160B.

Of course, that could change quickly – I’ve no idea what LL / Zenescope have planned but right now it does feel like a hollow promise, and combining it with the sweepstake event leaves one feeling the whole LL / Zenescope / Epik partnership is decidedly lopsided and lacking in reciprocity¹. But as noted, the “Zenescope Metaverse” revealed itself as a tepid environment, and even now, some 2.5 months later shows no sign of delivering on hyperbole surrounding its launch, or present itself as a gateway into SL for Zenescope readers. When it was launched, the Second Life / Zenescope / Epik partnership was framed by LL as a part of a drive to expose SL to potential new audiences. One of the character image / NFTs purchase pages on the Epik Marketplace – Gretel is one of the characters for which NFTs are being offered as prizes in the sweepstake ![]() It is the uniqueness of the data in the NFT that generates its value, not the item to which is bound, which can still be copied and shared just like any other file on the Internet. VERY simply put for the purposes of this article: an NFT is a digital “certificate of authenticity” created using blockchain technology that represents an easily-reproduceable digital item (a piece of art or music, a game, a document or photograph, etc.), recording the provenance of that item – its origination (creator, date + time of creation, etc), and its subsequent chronology of ownership / custody location in the digital ether. So, for example The Gretel and Belle images each have 1,000 NFTs (with each NFT having a minimum price of $27.00) while the Sky Mathers image only has 125 NFTs (with each NFT having a minimum price of $147.00.įor sweepstake prizes, I believe LL has taken 10 each of the NFTs bound to the Belle, Gretel and Cinderella images, and a further 10 from a “Halloween” image to be issued on October 25th. As a part of this partnership, October saw Epik start to offer through their Epikprime marketplace, NFTs tied to nine individual Zenescope character images (apparently sponsored by LL) in various quantities. The sweepstake is a continuance of that partnership, and marks a further extension of it that many SL users may not have been aware of, so I’ll just dip into here to offer a little more context. ![]() Some may recall that Zenescope (and Epik) are in a partnership with Linden Linden that launched on August 4th with the opening of the “Zenescope Metaverse” in Second Life a place promoted by LL as “bursting with magic and mystery” where people could “Experience storytelling and comic books in a whole new way”, a “huge” region “ so highly detailed that it might just take several visits to see everything”, but which I found decidedly underwhelming. The NFTs concerned are produced by Epik, and are focused on a series of digital images related characters from the Zenescope Entertainment’s “Grimm universe” (that is, characters somehow connected to stories associated with the Brothers Grimm). Featuring some 40 NFTs – non-fungible tokens – the announcement met with a certain amount of “WTH?” reactions, my own among them. ![]() On Thursday, October 21st, Linden Lab took to their blog and to social media to announce the Zenescope x Second Life Sweepstake. ![]() 11/14/2023 0 Comments The pathless path![]() ![]() Your career choices get appropriated from your Ivy League cousins. You tacitly agree to play the gospel as a karmic payback duty for your parents' lifetime of sweat and hard work.

As the cards of my life had played out, my parents were much older than most of my friends’ parents and I wanted to race up the ladder to jobs and good life faster than anyone else. I wanted to be that special creamy one at the top. ![]() I was naive enough to believe a myth floating around that my school gave exclusive double promotion for its crème de la crème. I wasn’t content spending the best part of my childhood with didactic books that bored me to death and extra-curricular classes that gobbled up my social life. I wasn’t content securing the top rank in a farcical joke called examination to assess my “academic performance”. There was a time in my life when the only thing that mattered to me the most was a double promotion. In order to explore these questions, I will have to tell you my life story. What has been my relationship with work? How does my dharma and artha play out in my relationship with work? Dharma and Dharmasankata is an attempt to make sense of the four purusarthas - Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha for the times we live in.

Namaskar! Welcome to the sixth edition of my newsletter: Dharma and Dharmasankata: Infrequent Meditations to Discover the Best You Can Be Using Indic Wisdom. What has been my relationship with work? And why am I talking about this book in this blog about discovering indic wisdom? Let’s dive in. It was a moving conversation about the similarities of lives lived across Mylapore and Connecticut, the struggles involved in quitting full-time jobs and choice-making frameworks that stem from inherited life scripts that he calls “Default Path”, and the opportunities that present themselves when we move from default paths and embrace the “pathless path”. ![]() I chatted with him earlier this week and dialogued about the book. It’s a profound, radioactive book that will make you re-examine the choices you have made in your relationship with work and life. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been slow-reading Paul Millerd’s book, Pathless Path. Even though kindle estimates that I should be done with the book by 2.5 hours, it’s almost impossible to breeze through the book in one shot without pausing and reflecting on what each of the reflections means to me in my life context. What is your relationship with work? Who are you when you are not working? ![]() 11/14/2023 0 Comments Caves france dordogne![]() ![]() ![]() Finally, the international center of cave art Lascaux IV was born in 2016. This replica, itinerant, has made it possible to discover the famous cave abroad. Since 2012, Lascaux III also reproduces the parts of the original cave called the Nave and the Well. The facsimile Lascaux II allows you to discover a part of the cave identically: buried underground, this reconstruction concerns the room of the bull and the axial diverticulum, whose walls contained the greatest density of paintings and the most impressive works.īefore the visit, two airlocks trace the history of Lascaux and explain the prehistoric artistic techniques reproduced for the creation of the twin cave. Today, visitors to the famous cave have a set consisting of the first facsimile, an international exhibition and a center of cave art: Lascaux II, Lascaux III and Lascaux IV are located in Montignac, in the valley of the Vézère. In 1970, work began on the construction of a facsimile: Lascaux II opened its doors in 1983. In 1963, the colonization of the paintings by green algae forced the closing of the cave to the public. Opened to the public in 1948, the cave suffers from overcrowding: from the following year appear the first signs of deterioration of the walls.Ī disturbing change in the air balance (carbon dioxide, humidity, temperature) was also noticed in 1955. Like the National Museum of Prehistory in Eyzies in the Périgord Noir, the Lascaux cave is one of the most important prehistoric sites in France. Recommended.Nicknamed the Sistine Chapel of cave art, the Lascaux cave in Montignac in the Dordogne was discovered in 1940 by 4 teenagers from the region. It is a pretty cool experience and, considering very few people can visit the actual cave (not even Macron), it’s as close as you can possibly get. The workshop follows the “caves” where you can get a better view of some of the art work in the “caves” and take pics, as there are no pictures allowed in the reproduction caves. All understanding is interpretive as pre-historians have been unable to conclusively nail down all the info. Wandering through the reproduction, the guide points out various features in the art work. A tour guide does a good job of immersing you in the history of Lascaux, from its discovery, through the current day. Everyone is provided with a set of headphones and a receiver. French pandemic rules were in play requiring the sanitary pass and masks indoors. There are one to two tours daily in English. You need to book tickets online and for specific time. As faithful a recreation as possible, via the use of 3D imaging and printing, it is as good as you’re ever going to see. They built the first replica, Lascaux II in the seventies. ![]() The real Lascaux Cave was closed to the public in 1963. It was delightful with incredible paintings including a beautiful one of a woman’s face peering out at you from 16,000 years ago, We went to another more famous cave with maybe more “dramatic” paintings but getting herded by them was nothing like our incredible tour with Michael as our personal guide, One of the best things you will do in the Dordogne. Michael has very good English and is quite knowledgeable explaining the paintings and the history of the cave. Michael spent almost two hours with just me and my wife taking us through the four dark caverns with only a flashlight to illuminate over 100 cave paintings. This family-owned cave is an experience like no other. The cave is only open when you owners are free to give you a tour, PLEASE NOTE that GPS will take you to a parking area that is then a 15 minute walk through the woods with tiny hand written signs pointing you to the cave entrance where you will find a locked steel door, We were about to leave at 5:20 when a man pulled up on a scooter and introduced himself as Michael. I was told it was not possible but a tour could be arranged at 5pm. On a whim during lunch, I called the number listed for this cave to see if they might have a tour available at 2:30. ![]() 11/14/2023 0 Comments 12 dobsonian telescope![]() ![]() Dobsonians can’t track the sky for long exposure astrophotography.A subtle difference: SCTs and Maksutovs tend to have larger obstructions than Newtonian reflectors, which slightly reduces contrast and resolution.Finding objects by star-hopping with a manual telescope mount will help you learn the night sky by doing.Dobsonians and Tabletop Dobs can be almost rock-steady, reducing wobble and vibrations. Many beginner telescopes are on wobbly, undersized tripods and mounts. No counterweights, clutches, slow-motion-knobs, locks and switches and dials, no hand controllers–just a big tube that you shove where you want it to go. For example: compare the price of an 8” Dobsonian to an 8” SCT, or if you really want a shock, try finding a price on an 8” Refractor. There’s no cheaper way to get a functional large-aperture telescope on a sturdy mount. ![]() Books like “Turn Left At Orion”, star maps, and practice will get you pushing your telescope wherever you want. Computerization in the imported Dobsonians is never really at the same level of quality as the computerization in dedicated astrophotography mounts–though they are, to be fair, quite a bit cheaper–and in large part, they take out the fun of observing, the thrill of the hunt. They took off so much that it is now cheaper to buy a completed Dobsonian than to make one yourself until you reach about 12 inches or so in aperture.īecause part of the beauty of the Dobsonian is its simplicity and ability to be pushed around manually, I will not be touching on the computerized Dobsonians available. They were originally introduced by sidewalk astronomer John Dobson as a cheap and affordable way to build a large telescope to show the universe to people. Traditionally, this is done with large Teflon bearings, but some commercial telescope manufacturers have come up with different solutions.ĭobsonians combine easily manufactured large-aperture reflector optical tubes with dirt-cheap but very functional mounts, making them the absolute best bang for your buck of any telescope design. A rockerbox has to be able to smoothly move left and right, up and down, and smoothly enough that you can push it in a diagonal motion without it sticking. The OTA is the reflector telescope itself, and the rocker box is the mount. To look through a Dobsonian, you usually set the telescope on the ground, aim the telescope, and sit in a chair next to the eyepiece.Ī Dobsonian is made up of two parts (in fact, these parts usually ship in separate boxes) the Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) and the Rockerbox. It’s the simplest way to aim above the horizon, as it eliminates the need to mess with an equatorial mount’s complicated and expensive hardware.Ī Newtonian telescope has a paraboloidal mirror at the back, a flat diagonal at the front, and an eyepiece at the front of the side. Very good, but not that great What’s a Dobsonian and how does it work?Ī Dobsonian reflector is a Newtonian reflector mounted on a simple, strong, and easy-to-use mount that moves up, down, and left and right. ![]() 11/14/2023 0 Comments Book by book bible study guide![]() Try finding the information in the Bible first, then turn to commentaries or Bible dictionaries. Study Bibles often include a short introduction of the book that will include important facts as to who, where, when and even why the book was written. Some of this information for the New Testament can be found in the book of Acts. Look into who wrote the book, who the original audience was as well as the setting and time period of the book. Book backgroundĭiscover the book background. Key verses may offer a summary of the sections you’ve identified in the outline, or some authors even tell you the reason they have written. Consider how the theme is developed, described or how the readers are expected to react to the theme. Note the main theme, ideas, and key verses. You may consider doing a word study on these. These are likely related to the overarching ideas of the book and are important to notice. Look for keywords or often repeated words in the book. It may also be helpful to summarize each section of your outline. Also try not to be too detailed here, start with the main ideas and one or two subpoints. Try not to be influenced by the published dividers, your outline may have several traditional chapters in one section. Now that you are familiar with the book, make a general outline of the book. Remember that the book was not originally divided into chapters, subchapters, and verses, so let it just flow over you. Since some books are quite long, on your first go I’d suggest starting small, like with one of Paul’s letters, say Philippians. Allow yourself the time and know that it will be a blessing. It may take a month or longer to complete this type of study. This method of study requires a bit of time. Studying the book may help us understand how it fits into the grand arch of the Bible story. It also offers a glance at the threads that run throughout the Bible rather than in just individual passages. Study of a whole book also allows for a look at the style of the book, or the type of literature it is, letter, poetry, history, etc. ![]() This offers a look at the word in context, even well-known verses may come to new light when read in context. Many other studies break books down into pieces, but that may mean that forest is lost for the trees. ![]() ![]() Studying a whole book of the Bible will offer a look whole message, its overall content and purpose. Usually, personal discoveries are better remembered and more easily recalled in times of need. But, studying a book of the Bible on our own may give us opportunities to discover on our own. It is easy to pick up a study guide for any given book of the Bible as well. Most of us spend time reading our Bibles as part of our regular quiet time with God. ![]() |
