So, what were the top New Year’s resolutions? Twitter attempted to answer that question based on users’ tweets. Of course, this is far from a scientific study, but it’s still interesting. And in India, career goals were dominant. In Russia, meanwhile, education was the top priority. Visitors from Australia and Japan were looking for love. Looking at the map, health-related resolutions predominated in the US and Egypt. Then, Google mapped them and analyzed them, breaking them down into the following categories: health, love, career, finance, and education. Internet users from around the world were invited to share their resolutions. Or at least, that’s the conclusion you could draw from a 2013 Google Maps project called Zeitgeist. New Year’s resolutions vary around the world While nearly half of all Americans make resolutions, 25% of them give up on their resolutions by the second week of January. Nowadays 45% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions. Then the Romans also began each year by making promises to their gods. During the festival, the Babylonians made New Year’s resolutions to keep themselves in good standing with the gods. They called it Akitu, and it was a major festival that lasted 11 days. In this article, we will share with you the interesting facts about this resolution and give practical advice on creating an effective list of goals for the next year.Ĥ000 years ago the ancient Babylonians celebrated the New Year on the first new moon after the spring equinox. New Year’s resolutions are the perfect opportunity for all those who have failed to start making the changes that they said they would make next week, next month, or perhaps when winter starts. You might not have had those feelings when you were forced into creating this New Year’s resolution last month, but if you’re willing to do a bit of introspection, I’m confident you can find a reason to truly care about this goal.The New Year is slowly nearing, and with the holiday season already upon us many people are indulging in retrospection and reevaluating some of their life choices. You want an emotional attachment to your goals that gives you the ceaseless energy to pursue them no matter how tough it gets. When you’re waffling on your resolution, and feeling your motivation wane, you need to develop deep feelings about that resolution. In other words, if you can attach your New Year’s resolution to someone you love, and think about how your goal will benefit them, your brain can literally suppress negative thoughts and give you a much-needed emotional boost. And it wasn’t just maternal love creating this effect the same researchers looked at romantic love and found strikingly similar results. The researchers found that areas associated with negative emotions, social judgments and assessing other people’s intentions were suppressed. But perhaps even more interesting than the areas that were activated were the areas that became deactivated. When looking at their own kids, the reward centers in the mothers’ brains were activated as well as an area that’s been linked to pain suppression during intense emotional experiences (like childbirth). Mothers were shown pictures of their own infants and then pictures of friends’ kids, their best friend and other adult friends, all the while measuring how their brains responded. Researchers at University College London used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to demonstrate the neurological power possessed by deep attachments to other people (fMRI measures the change in blood flow related to neural activity in the brain). Based on the thousands of people who have taken the test “ Do You Set SMART Goals or HARD Goals?” we know that people with a strong emotional connection to their goals are anywhere from 1.3 to 1.8 times more likely to successfully accomplish their goals than people with weak connections.Ĭan you actually develop a deeper emotional to a goal even if you didn’t feel one when you first announced it? Yes, and you’ve got to force yourself to first think through “Why do I really care about achieving this goal?” You should look for all the possible ways this goal could benefit you and make your life better.īut then, you need to think through all the ways that your New Year’s resolution could benefit the people about whom you care most deeply.

I hoped for a little, as I said, but I got rather a whole lot, and in some ways this was just about as frightening as the quick, merciful death I'd expected. I never expected any sort of success with 'Mockingbird.' . I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of the reviewers but, at the same time, I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement. In 1964, Lee recalled her hopes for the book when she said, The editorial team at Lippincott warned Lee that she would probably sell only several thousand copies. Īfter the "Watchman" title was rejected, it was re-titled Atticus but Lee renamed it To Kill a Mockingbird to reflect that the story went beyond a character portrait. It was, as she described it, "more a series of anecdotes than a fully conceived novel." During the following two and a half years, she led Lee from one draft to the next until the book finally achieved its finished form. Hohoff was impressed, "he spark of the true writer flashed in every line," she would later recount in a corporate history of Lippincott, but as Hohoff saw it, the manuscript was by no means fit for publication. After finishing the first draft and returning it to Lippincott, the manuscript, at that point titled "Go Set a Watchman", fell into the hands of Therese von Hohoff Torrey, known professionally as Tay Hohoff. Lippincott, who bought the manuscript, advised her to quit the airline and concentrate on writing.ĭonations from friends allowed her to write uninterrupted for a year. Hoping to be published, Lee presented her writing in 1957 to a literary agent recommended by Capote. In 1950, Lee moved to New York City, where she worked as a reservation clerk for British Overseas Airways Corporation there, she began writing a collection of essays and short stories about people in Monroeville. At both colleges, she wrote short stories and other works about racial injustice, a rarely mentioned topic on such campuses at the time. While attending college, she wrote for campus literary magazines: Huntress at Huntingdon and the humor magazine Rammer Jammer at the University of Alabama. She attended Huntingdon College in Montgomery (1944–45), and then studied law at the University of Alabama (1945–49). Lee continued to respond to her work's impact until her death in February 2016, although she had refused any personal publicity for herself or the novel since 1964.īorn in 1926, Harper Lee grew up in the Southern town of Monroeville, Alabama, where she became close friends with soon-to-be-famous writer Truman Capote. To Kill a Mockingbird was Lee's only published book until Go Set a Watchman, an earlier draft of To Kill a Mockingbird, was published on July 14, 2015. Since 1990, a play based on the novel has been performed annually in Harper Lee's hometown. It was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film in 1962 by director Robert Mulligan, with a screenplay by Horton Foote. Author Mary McDonough Murphy, who collected individual impressions of To Kill a Mockingbird by several authors and public figures, calls the book "an astonishing phenomenon". Despite the number of copies sold and its widespread use in education, literary analysis of it is sparse. Reaction to the novel varied widely upon publication. In 2006, British librarians ranked the book ahead of the Bible as one "every adult should read before they die". Despite its themes, To Kill a Mockingbird has been subject to campaigns for removal from public classrooms, often challenged for its use of racial epithets. Lessons from the book emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice. Scholars have noted that Lee also addresses issues of class, courage, compassion, and gender roles in the Deep South. The historian Joseph Crespino explains, "In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its main character, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism." As a Southern Gothic novel and Bildungsroman, the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence. Atticus Finch, the narrator's father, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was ten.ĭespite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality, the novel is renowned for its warmth and humor. To Kill a Mockingbird has become a classic of modern American literature a year after its release, it won the Pulitzer Prize. In the United States, it is widely read in high schools and middle schools. It was published in 1960 and was instantly successful. To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by the American author Harper Lee. I strongly recommend using a PS2 controller. In addition to being easier to configure, they make it easier to play, improving the experience, which gets similar to playing with the console. PS2 controls are plug and play on PCSX2, that is, you don’t need to set them up. There are models with USB cable, others with two cables, USB and PS2, which can be used on both PC and PS2. To play PS2 games on PC, I recommend you to use a controller similar to the PS2 controller. PlayStation consoles are also differentiated from the others with regard to the controllers, which have many buttons. Even if your computer has specs below the recommended (or even below the minimum, as mine), be sure to check the game lists to see which games you are able to emulate with your PC. If your PC has these specs or higher, it’s likely able to play any PS2 game well, with great performance.īut, as I said, all these recommendations are actually highly game dependent. PassMark G3D Mark benchmark rating around 6000 (e.g.that supports Direct3D11 (on Windows) or OpenGL 4.5 (on Linux).PassMark Single Thread Performance benchmark rating near or greater than 2100.that has 4 processing cores (quad core), with or without hyperthreading.Ubuntu 19.04 or newer, it can also be Debian, Arch Linux or other distro (32 or 64 bit).The recommended specs for PCSX2 is as follows: This game is very good, very fun and easy to play, I recommend it! You can check lists of light games (on the forum) and intensive games ( forum and wiki).Īlso fortunately the list of light games includes Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, whose DVD I already had. Some 2D games and others that underutilized the PS2 hardware may run on more modest CPUs, rated as low as 1200 (luckily, my CPU was rated above 1200). At least in theory, I couldn’t play PS2 games on my PC.īut the PCSX2 website also explains that these requirements are recommended for moderately complex games, which pushed the PS2 hardware to its limits. In my case, my CPU’s rating is 1519 and my GPU’s rating is 580.Īs you can see, my computer doesn’t meet the PCSX2 minimum requirements. To find out your computer’s specs, if you use the GNOME desktop (default for Linux Kamarada), open the Settings app and go to the Details section: But I’m going to show you in practice how you can see if your computer fits them. The PCSX2 developers listed its requirements somewhat differently than usual. PassMark G3D Mark benchmark rating around 3000 (e.g. that supports Direct3D10 (on Windows) or OpenGL 3.x (on Linux).PassMark Single Thread Performance benchmark rating near or greater than 1600.that has 2 processing cores (dual core) and hyperthreading.Ubuntu 18.04 or newer, it can also be Debian, Arch Linux or other distro (32 or 64 bit).The PCSX2 website presents the following minimum required specs: To play PS2 games - and, above all, play well, because there’s no point in being able to start the game if it’s slow - you’ll need a computer considered “intermediate” to “advanced” by today’s standards. PCSX2 is a very hardware intensive program. Even now, many years later and with the advancement of technology, not all PCs are able to emulate it. When it was released, the PS2 was a video game with specs far superior to those of its competitors. As usual, here I use the Linux Kamarada distribution, which is based on openSUSE Leap. Here you are going to see how to install and use PCSX2 on Linux. PCSX2 is free software and its source code is available on GitHub. With PCSX2, you can play most PS2 games on your PC. A video game emulator allows your computer to run games made for that video game. An emulator is a software that allows your computer to run software made for another device. Would you like to remember any of those classics? See how to do this with PCSX2. More than 10,000 games have been released for the PS2, some of the best known include: Pro Evolution Soccer (PES), Grand Theft Auto (GTA), Guitar Hero, Resident Evil, God of War, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy X, Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks and others. It was the best-selling console of all time, having sold over 155 million units worldwide. PlayStation 2, better known simply as PS2, was a 128-bit video game console released by Sony in 2000. Plus, due to the growing use of body armor by active shooters I would recommend having the capability of penetrating Level IIIA soft body armor. Ideally, it will be equipped with an optic and white light enabling effective use in low/no light scenarios. If it has a stock or stabilizing brace, it should be designed to allow rapid deployment. Ideally, it would be quick into action, allowing you to draw and immediately engage a threat. The Flux is a modern approach to this age-old problem. × Designers have long sought to make pistols easier to hit with at longer distances, sometimes providing detachable stocks as with this C.96. If it adds too much weight and bulk, it will be left behind, simple as that. The chosen piece, with associated optic, white light and loaded magazines, needs to be light enough to not become an undesired burden as you go about your day. My goal was to find something small enough to fit into a bag of such reduced dimensions no one would suspect it of being capable of concealing a PDW. Based on previous experience, I did not desire to always be saddled with something the size of a messenger bag. The “Grail” I was looking for would need to be compact enough, less than 12 inches in OAL, to store easily in a bag small and unobtrusive enough not to draw unwanted attention. Distance from the rear of the brace to the trigger is approximately 12.2 inches. The Flux Brace automatically deploys by pressing a release. Now, if you want to move even smaller, things begin to get much more difficult. If you wish to move down to a smaller and more discreet bag capable of holding a firearm 16-inches in overall length, your options decrease dramatically. If you are willing to lug a messenger bag or pack capable of stowing something 19-inches in length, you have a lot of options, including in rifle calibers. There are a number of off-the-shelf options, depending upon your size and weight requirements, suitable for carrying in some form of discreet bag. Distance from the rear of the brace to the trigger is approximately 12.2 inches.īefore I jump into Flux Defense’s brace though, let me share what I looked at prior to finding it. Flux Defense now also offers a kit to retrofit a SIG Sauer M17/18 and P320 series, but I’ll focus on their Glock offering in this article. Both of these units install easily with no gunsmithing required. This is a combination light mount and spare magazine carrier for a Gen 3/4/5 Glock pistol. Flux also offers their Flashmag to complement it. So what exactly is the Flux Brace? Basically, it’s an easy to install stabilizing arm brace designed to be mounted onto certain Gen 3/4/5 Glock pistols. As soon as I saw it I was intrigued by its possibilities, but I also had some doubts. A Glock 35 MOS equipped with a Flux Defense Brace and Flashmag will tuck neatly out of sight in a small discreet carry bag for peace of mind.ĭuring my search, I came across Flux Defense’s Brace for a Glock pistol. I envisioned it serving multiple purposes: PDW, backpacking/survival gun, small game hunting, and to stop an active shooter. By being concealed in a discreet bag, you could grab and sling it if you felt the need and go about your day. Why bother with such a piece? It would offer an increase in hit probability and extend the range over a traditional pistol, especially in the hands of your average shooter. I intended it to be a complement to, rather than replacement for, my concealed carry piece. I wanted something small and light enough to be easily carried in a discreet bag when out and about. My hunt was for a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) to meet my individual needs. I started a quest many moons ago for a Grail of sorts.

Traditional sudoku means 81-box sudoku, without any other constraints. Here Guessing means trying an candidate and see how far it goes, if a contradiction is found with the guess, backtracking to the guessing step and try another candidate when all candidates are exhausted without success, backtracking to the previous guessing step (if there is one otherwise the puzzle proofs invalid.), etc. The brain benefits of solving puzzles like sudoku has long intrigued science.

Greblick said she trusts most gyms will do what’s necessary to try and keep clients safe. “It’s better in a gym, if you’re going to use weights, if you’re going to use equipment that there’s a trainer there to help you,” she said. While she feels safe on her own, she said she prefers having a gym where trainers can guide. Not going to the gym during the pandemic was hard, she said, so she has been working out in her basement or outside instead. “I just want to get back to the community and get back to seeing people,” Greblick said. Jill Greblick, 55, of Newton, said she used to work out at Burn Boot Camp six days a week for two years and is excited to go back. “We unfortunately have had to lay off some people.” “Some of our members have chosen, because we are closed, to either cancel or to freeze their membership,” Debin said. “I’d rather stay closed and lose money.”ĭebin said he is trying to be positive and anticipates hiring all his staff back with the help of government assistance. “In my view, until I feel 100 percent safe, and I feel like I can protect parents and their children to the best of our ability - until that time comes, I’m not going to do it.” he said. Ryan Debin, chief executive officer of My Gym Newton, which offers classes for young children, said as a father, he wants to prioritize protecting parents and their kids.ĭebin said he doesn’t want to compromise, and when he will reopen his gym depends on safety. “My guidelines are a little bit stricter, and I just want to make sure the clients are very, very safe,” Anam said.ĭespite the planned reopening in Phase 3, the owners of some fitness centers and gyms, as well as some personal trainers, said they were still concerned about safety. He wants to make sure that his clients feel safe to come back by having trainers with face masks, wiping all the equipment people touch and spacing time between the next clients. “It’s only the trainer and the clients in this big 2,300 square foot space, so I think a lot of clients actually feel very, very comfortable,” Anam said. Larry Anam, owner of Waju Fitness, a Newton-based private training company, said he set strict guidelines and will only allow one client and one trainer at a time. “I am lucky that I received a loan through the Payroll Protection Program to pay myself, and have some dedicated clientele who are sticking it out with me online.” “Unfortunately, online coaching brings in a fraction of the revenue I was getting every month before the pandemic,” he said in an e-mail. Gilmore said online classes brought in much less revenue than in-person offerings. “There is only so much we can do with online bodyweight classes.” “My younger low risk members seem to be excited to get back to it,” Gilmore said in an e-mail. When he opened his doors, he said, he expected some of his younger clients to come back while others likely would remain online. Gilmore said he has been training clients through Zoom meetings since late March. “To comply with social distancing protocols, I will need to cut my class sizes in half,” Gilmore said in an email.

The system blends electric and gas operations quite well, providing an excellent combination of usable power and efficient propulsion for daily commuting. It’s more than adequately powered to keep up with everyday traffic, however, and it motors along quietly when in EV mode and when, at highway speeds, the hybrid system decides it doesn’t need the engine and shuts it off for cruising. The electric traction motor isn’t big, and in order to keep it EV-only, you have to go pretty light on the accelerator. If you keep it in EV mode, though, acceleration is tepid. Making just a combined 200 horsepower, it’s still pretty zippy thanks to the nature of electric motors: All of the torque is available right off the line, making acceleration brisk when you’ve got the whole hybrid system engaged.
