Pathological lier meaning12/30/2023 The impulsive-reflective scale is ingrained in our genes, and it's very hard for someone highly impulsive to take the time to think things through, just as it is a challenge for a reflective person to jump into something head first. Psychologist Linda Blair, an author of many psychology books, told Business Insider some compulsive liars are simply too impulsive to tell the truth. And if you bring it up to the person and they say it's your fault, or no it didn't happen, just know there's something very wrong going on."Ĭompulsive liars are not necessarily bad people "If somebody lies, don't try and make an excuse about it," Orloff said. It may start with a small white lie, and a few months later the victim's life with be a mess of confusion because of the web of tall tales that has been woven. Unfortunately, people tend to doubt themselves, because the lies can escalate subtly. The only way to escape the clutches of a pathological liar is to be strong enough to say "no this is not my fault, this is not ringing true to me, so I can't really trust you," she said. Someone who is a pathological liar will not say I'm sorry for doing it. It's like a moral deficit, and there's no accountability. "The great power of relationships is when you can tell the truth to one another, and trust each other, and be authentic - and with pathological liars you can't trust them," Orloff said. Once the lies start, it can end with the victim being gaslighted, which is essentially when they are told over and over again that their version of reality is incorrect, and they begin to believe the warped truth of the abuser. Then when they see someone is lying, they try and figure it out, or blame themselves. This is extremely dangerous for highly sensitive people, because they attract narcissists. It's not so much about the fact itself, she said, as it is about wanting to have power over somebody. Orloff said they actually believe they are telling the truth a lot of the time. In fact, they may not even realise they are lying half the time, because they're not conscious of it. "So many people get into relationships with pathological liars, or just can't understand why they're lying, because they're trying to fit these people into the ordinary standards of what it means to be empathetic."īut they don't fit. "When they lie it doesn't hurt them in the same way it would hurt us," Orloff said. A lack of empathy essentially means a lack of conscience, which is a hard concept to grasp for a lot of people. When you don't care about other people, lies don't seem to matter. "Because narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths have what's called empathy deficient disorder, meaning they don't feel empathy in the way we would." "I think it comes from a defect in the neurological wiring in terms of what causes us to have compassion and empathy," psychiatrist Judith Orloff, author of " The Empath's Survival Guide," told Business Insider. The psychological reasons for why some people are this way is a bit of a mystery, but in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, pathological lying is a disorder in its own right, as well as a symptom of personality disorders like psychopathy and narcissism. We all have to lie sometimes.īut some people are pathological liars, meaning they can't stop spreading misinformation about themselves and others. But if Jim Carey's "Liar Liar" taught us anything, it's that this just isn't feasible. Sooner or later we learn that lying is "bad," and we shouldn't really do it. At this point in our brain's development, we learn that we have an incredibly versatile and powerful tool at our disposal - our language - and we can use it to actually play with reality and affect the outcome of what's happening. It often indicates a user profile.īy the age of three or four, we all start to lie. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.

D.va overwatch12/30/2023 ![]() This change may seem minor, but it could may be a necessary clarification before an eventual D.Va animation or cinematic. The idea of D.Va’s skills being more directly applicable to war is definitely intriguing, especially since some fans would like to see the war hero aspect of D.Va explored over the meme loving, Mountain Dew chugging, dorito gobbling gremlin. This is an extremely interesting premise, actually, and it’s one we’ve seen in stories like Ender’s Game. D.Va’s esport of choice has yet to come up, but it is apparently made with future tech that allowed players to simulate war combat. This is actually interesting because it’s a minor change, but some D.Va fans feel as though it’s a clumsy retcon. ![]() Ultimately, I totally recognize that with the way we initially teased D.Va and since we didn’t specifically say otherwise in her official backstory, the distinction was pretty unclear. Bonus fact: StarCraft is one of D.Va’s father’s favorite games! And he was pretty good at it. That said, D.Va has definitely played more than her fair share of StarCraft (as she references in some of her lines in Overwatch) and a slew of other games. We imagined that she was most known and specialized in a game with a skillset that was closer mapped to the skills that she (and the other MEKA pilots) utilized while piloting their mechs. However her best game wasn’t StarCraft (which was what I was attempting to clarify). pretty confusing.ĭ.Va is absolutely a world champion professional gamer which was what got her recruited into MEKA in the first place. At the time, I actually worried that it would be taken as canon, but I was hoping elements like the fact her preferred race was listed as “random” and the fact she couldn’t have competed in the current series would help defray that. We thought it’d be fun to use the StarCraft WCS site and slip D.Va in as she had a background as a pro gamer (this all happened before she was officially announced). Going back to when we announced D.Va as a hero, we had been experimenting with using different methods of teasing new characters. I think the best I can do here is give the backstory (har har) on how we got here: Misconception probably wasn’t the right way to describe it, more like something that we haven’t clarified properly. It's a common misconception, but wasn't a StarCraft pro before joining MEKA.- Michael Chu January 31, 2018Īfter some Twitter outcry and the phrase “retcon” being tossed around, Chu took to the Blizzard forums to elaborate on D.Va’s past:

Blank physical activity pyramid12/30/2023 ![]() A recent survey of children and teens in the United States found that they watch TV for an average of nearly four hours a day. The pictures below the pyramid are meant to discourage too much sitting and excessive screen time during the day. A person is sedentary when doing low-energy activities such as lying down and sitting. Just below the Physical Activity Pyramid (see figure 6.2) you’ll notice three pictures intended to emphasize the importance of avoiding sedentary and inactive behavior. For optimal benefits, you should perform activities from all steps of the pyramid each week, following the FIT formula for each step.įigure 6.2 The new Physical Activity Pyramid for Teens. To meet the recommended 60 minutes of daily activity, you can choose from the different types of activity. A summary of the FIT formula is provided for each type of activity to help you decide how much activity to perform. Each step of the Physical Activity Pyramid includes descriptions and examples of the five types of physical activity. To make it easy for you to remember the different types of activity, the Physical Activity Pyramid was developed (see figure 6.2). ![]() For each type of activity, there is a FIT formula. The second T in FITT is for the type of activity that you perform. Dietary intake behavior.This is an excerpt from Fitness for Life 7th Edition Cloth With Web Resource by Charles B. A 34-question nutrition knowledge and a 30-question physical activity knowledge questionnaire-based on the intervention curriculum objectives-were developed by the senior researcher, reviewed by a reading specialist, and given as a pretest and a posttest. To assure confidentiality, code numbers were assigned to each student for all data collected. To our knowledge, no one has documented the use of this integrated approach to date therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the impact of an integrated curriculum using the Food Guide Pyramid and the Physical Activity Pyramid to improve the dietary and physical activity knowledge and behaviors of 7th grade students (approximate age range: 13 to 14 years) at a mid-Atlantic, rural middle school.Īpproval was obtained from the superintendent of the school division, the school board, the principal, the district school foodservice coordinator, the school's health and physical education teachers, and the university's Institutional Review Board.Īll students were required to enroll in a combined health and physical education curriculum. This approach may decrease the prevalence of obesity and, in turn, decrease the risk for developing chronic diseases associated with its occurrence. Implementation of an integrated approach to promote increased physical activity and improved dietary intake among children and adolescents may enable and encourage lifelong, healthful habits. The American Dietetic Association has partnered with the President's Council on Physical Fitness and the International Food Information Council to release a poster containing both the Food Guide Pyramid and a Physical Activity Pyramid from Park Nicollet HealthSource (14). Similar to the Food Guide Pyramid (12), a Physical Activity Pyramid has been developed to promote physical activity recommendations, a concept only recently introduced to physical education curricula (13). Educators are challenged on how to integrate effective nutrition and physical activity education into the existing curriculum without taking away from core classes. Only two thirds of adolescent boys and one half of adolescent girls participate in moderate to vigorous activity at least 3 times per week (11). In addition, physical activity declines dramatically with age among adolescents and continues to steadily decline into adulthood (9-11). Diet quality as measured by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Healthy Eating Index (HEI) suggests that adolescents, aged 11 to 14 years, have dietary intakes that need improvement, based on total HEI score as less than half meet the recommendations for grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat, total fat, saturated fat, and sodium (7,5). Research indicates that children and adolescents are not eating a healthful and balanced diet (4-6). To some degree, educators and other school employees play a vital role in positively influencing these factors and the behaviors associated with them. Although genetics may increase a person's susceptibility to obesity, environmental factors-such as dietary intake and physical activity-are also likely to be influential (3). Overweight during childhood and adolescence is often associated with the incidence of overweight in adulthood (2). Overweight and obesity increase morbidity and mortality risk in adults and are associated with several chronic diseases (1).

Movavi video editor 1412/30/2023 ![]() Any DLCs I already have in version 14 will NOT work on future versions of Movavi Editor Plus regardless if I acquired it through Steam or from your online store, is that correct? This will then require a re-purchase of the DLCs (and/or effects pack/plugins) if I want to use them on any new version of the Video Editor right?ġ. Will those effects packs listed in your official website store work with the this Steam Edition of Movavi Editor Plus? That is granting the required version indicated per effects pack is met which is version 14.4? And if so, how do I use those graphical elements packs in this software edition especially those with motions?Īlso, just to clarify further. While you’re considering, though, why not try Movavi Video Editor? You can download it for free and try it out before you make a purchase.Originally posted by RendCycle:I am still using Movavi Video Editor 14 Plus and planning on getting more Titles and/or Plugins for it. With these factors in mind, and the information above, you should have everything you need to make the right decision. However, whenever possible, opt for a free trial before you commit. Try out free options first to see if you like them, and if you don’t have a big budget, consider a monthly subscription that you can cancel when you aren’t using it.Ĭan you try before you buy? The information in this article hopefully gave you the details you need to make informed decisions about which software options are best for your projects. What’s your budget? Some pro video editing software comes with a free download and trial, while other options come with monthly subscriptions or a one-time purchase price. So, start by narrowing down your list to the software that works best for you. What OS are you using? If you’re a Windows user, you won’t have much luck with Final Cut Pro, and Mac users will be disappointed if they try to download and use Magix Video Pro, as it’s only compatible with Windows machines. So here are a few things to consider before you make your decision: Now that you have info on all of the top software used by professionals available today, how do you choose? The best editor for one project may be terrible for another. Advanced color correction and enhancement tools.Compatible with multiple video editing plugins.Lightworks does not include these features. However, if you’re looking for professional video editing software with video stabilization features and the ability to split or merge videos, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Users have had consistent success with support and education through online forums, and many video editors prefer Lightworks for short ads and video clips. However, even if users have trouble with learning how to use Lightworks, there’s help. However, professionals and other experienced editors sometimes run into more trouble because the interface is so different from the software that they’re more accustomed to. Beginners have found that the learning curve is very easy with Lightworks, and its interface is highly intuitive. While it’s been around for a long time and is used by many video editing pros, Lightworks has a very different interface in comparison with most other editing software. ![]() Lightworks was one of the first applications available for non-linear video editing on PCs and Macs. 360-degree editing for VR video projects.This software is one of the most used and has been a go-to for post-production pros in the film and video industry for years, but the cost and time to learn can present a significant financial and labor commitment. However, once you get the hang of the interface, you can use it to create professional-level videos with titles, opening and closing credits, transitions, filters, color gradients, and all the features that make cool videos really stand out. While it’s very robust, though, Adobe ® Premiere ® Pro is not the easiest software to learn for beginners. The application includes a wide range of features, including animations, filters, color correction, splitting and merging clips, and others. Pro editors and video makers use Adobe ® Premiere ® Pro for full-length films, YouTube videos, social posts, and TV shows.

Airflow icon eco 30 extractor fan12/30/2023 In fact, it has a sensor for everything, even odour. Aside from shifting up to 39l of damp air per second, this bathroom extractor comes crammed with more sensor tech than any other model on the market. Vent-Axia has really pushed the boat out with this brand-new model. Vent-Axia PureAir Sense: The best odour-detecting bathroom extractor fan READ NEXT: The best shower heads you can buyĦ. Most of our recommendations below are intended for use outside of Zone 2, but the layout of your bathroom may dictate your options. Be aware that there are regulations governing where your fan can be located: if you want to put a fan in Zone 1 (the area within a shower or 2.25m above a bath) or Zone 2 (60cm from Zone 1), it must be a low-voltage SELV fan with a transformer, or an AC-powered model that’s IPX5-certified. If you don’t already have a fan, you’ll need to get in a qualified builder to make the hole and install the wiring. Before you remove the old fan, it’s a good idea to take a photo of its wiring for later reference – and make absolutely sure you shut off the mains power before you take the old one’s front housing off. If you’re replacing a standard-sized extractor fan, this hole will already be present and you should be able to install the new one yourself. Most domestic bathroom extractors attach to a 100mm hole in the outside wall. How do you install a bathroom extractor fan? A higher-quality fan should last longer, but if you value quietness then at some point you’ll probably need to repair or replace your fan. Even the cheapest fans are usually very quiet out of the box, but as the motor bearings start to wear – typically after about two years with low-end models – the blades can start to oscillate against the main housing, producing an annoying rattle in the process. In a survey carried out by ventilation specialist Vent-Axia, 40% of respondents said that they or their children had been woken in the night by a noisy bathroom fan. This sensor may need occasional cleaning, though, or the accumulation of dust or grime will hinder its effectiveness. This automatically activates the fan when the level of moisture in the air exceeds a certain threshold. ![]() The downside to these is that windy conditions can cause the shutter to clatter against the wall if your outlet is exposed to the elements, it may be better to simply leave the shutter off.įinally, if you think you (or anyone else in the house) will forget to turn the fan on, consider a model with a humidity sensor. Most fans also come with a backdraught shutter to prevent cold air from blowing in from outside. ![]() ![]() You might as well tend towards the latter end of the scale as the cost is very low: on average, a fan like this uses around 8W. The precise duration of the overrun is normally configured during installation, with most fans offering a range between 30 seconds and 30 minutes.

![]() The reason I don't is that these tools are used to manage stamp appearances, not stamp files. My general rule is to never use these options for importing, creating, or managing stamps unless absolutely necessary. This button is just a shortcut to the "Create" option on the "Custom Stamps" tool (also not shown). The next tool, the "Stamp Palette," is another way to select stamps for placement, but it also contains a button for importing stamps (not shown).

But while the Acrobat/Reader applications are similar, the file systems on each platform are very different, and this is where the details of stamp file installation get a little complicated (on both platforms). One other similarity is that the user folder doesn't exist when Acrobat/Reader is first installed. And in both, a stamp file is installed by copying it into one of two file system folders, the user folder or the app folder. They even look the same on both platforms. Both have the same menus and tool buttons, so the Stamp and Commenting tools are accessed in the same way. MacintoshĪcrobat Professional and Acrobat Reader are nearly identical on both platforms. These steps are similar, but different for the Macintosh and Windows platforms. It's not difficult, but there are a few steps you need to follow. But if you acquired a stamp file from somewhere else, or want to share a stamp you've created, then it gets more complicated. If you are making your own static stamp with the Acrobat stamp tools, then Acrobat does the installation for you. To add a new stamp to Acrobat's list of stamps, that stamp file has to be installed into Acrobat. In Adobe Acrobat/Reader and most other PDF viewers, that custom image is a page in a special kind of PDF file, called a stamp file. And like a rubber stamp, a PDF stamp has a custom graphic/image. A PDF Stamp is a type of PDF markup (comment), just like a rubber ink stamp for paper.
