![]() ![]() “Why are we doing geometry? What’s the point of this? What do I do with the values in the table? How do I graph them? And then I connect the dots? Okay.” I wonder what other variables are related this way. My data points don’t lie in a straight line! How can this be? This is like nothing I’ve seen before! Well, since I’m working with a physical shape with which I’m quite familiar, and have proven for myself that these two variables are related in this curved way, I must accept the reality and strength of this kind of relationship. This is a neat-o activity. Okay, now I’ll plot the ordered pairs I found and…wait a minute! Something’s weird here. “Gee, I wonder how the base length of a rectangle with constant perimeter is related to the rectangle’s area. The collective student response I anticipated: When you graph a function, it has to be straight! This can’t be right.Īs for the two quadratically related variables, I figured it would be good to work with a physical shape, so I went for the base-length of a rectangle with constant perimeter and the area of that shape. This plan was also influenced by my own experience in 9th grade of being utterly confounded by seeing the teacher graph a parabola for the first time. From reading different blogs I had the idea that it would be cool for the non-linearity of the relationship to be a surprise that they would discover and therefore take to heart by exploring the relationship between two quadratically related variables. Quadratics were the first non-linear functions my students ever encountered. Quadratics are the first non-linear functions my students study so their introduction deserves to be genuinely meaningful. At the end of last year I set a primary goal to improve the way I taught logarithms, with the result that this year the logarithm unit was one of the best of the whole year. **Number 4 is my primary curricular goal. * 7/10/13 After coming across the illustration of inverse functions that I featured here, I’m not sure if I’ll continue to use the function box. But at the end of the school year, the bulleted eight were the goals that seemed big, essential. Make sure homework assignments are worthwhile. Allow them to critique their own presentations. ![]() Follow through on promise of notebook checksħ/10/13 Of course there are others, it seems hundreds more.Make better intro learning activity for quadratic functions**.Support the “function box” concept better*.Trigonometry is not bathroom and drinking fountain time (yeah, it was a problem this year).The notebook sections I required this year were basically useless. Set better sections for student notebooks.Until now, that is!Ġ5/23/13 Here are some goals I jotted down for improving Trigonometry next year. I remember drafting this post in May, but I guess it never made it out of my drafts folder. The expectations in the test were high to match the value I intended it to have. We spent time throughout the year, plus a good chunk there at the end, building student retention of important skills and information, making my final an opportunity for students to take pride in having actually learned things. My final this year was not a test designed to congratulate those with natural retention and punish those without it. How else will they train their minds to hold on to things? I’m an equal proponent of intelligently designed cumulative finals. I find I’m a big supporter of the cumulative final, even and especially for students who struggle with long-term retention. The sides of the deck are 8, 15, and 17 feet.I organized this year’s trigonometry final according to theme. Since \(x\) is a side of the triangle, \(x=−8\) does not It is a quadratic equation, so get zero on one side. Since this is a right triangle we can use the We are looking for the lengths of the sides Find the lengths of the sides of the deck. The length of one side will be 7 feet less than the length of the other side. Justine wants to put a deck in the corner of her backyard in the shape of a right triangle, as shown below. \(W=−5\) cannot be the width, since it's negative.

![]() ![]() ![]() If you have a suggestion, question, or feedback for Mark, send him an email to If you appreciate his work, consider rating the app on the app stores and leaving a review so others may discover and enjoy it too. The Open Library team was extremely welcoming and supportive, and really made this app possible.įirst, try downloading the Open Library Read App from the Apple store or Play store. ![]() I spent a lot of time exploring the Open Library and Internet Archives APIs to figure out the best way to get at the data I needed, and even submitted a few updates to the Open Library codebase to support features I wanted to build. I was amazed at how fast it was to assemble a simple app with just a few lines of code, and then it was just a matter of layering on the functionality I wanted. After some reading, I picked Google’s Flutter tool, which allows easy cross-platform app development. Mark: I’m a retired web developer, so interface design, user experience, APIs and that sort of thing are nothing new, but I’ve never built a native app. Open Librarian: What was your experience like developing the Reader? With the high-resolution page scans expanded to fill the screen, it’s almost like reading a physical book. But the full-screen reading mode is probably my favorite. Periodically, I’d think “that’s kind of annoying” or “I wish I could…” and I’d go code for a while until I was happy with the experience. Every feature is the result of me reading in the app every day for months before I released it. Mark: That is cool - that’s another example of centering the needs of the reader. Open Librarian: What is your favorite part of the app? I like how it shows the return time Open Librarian: What does it feel like to use? Can we have a tour? I also added a swipe gesture, so it’s easy to turn pages if you’re holding your device with one hand on the couch. You can hide all the controls with the single tap, and the book expands to completely fill the screen. The reading interface is still the familiar Internet Archive BookReader, but I’ve overlaid some additional functionality. Everything you need is just one tap away. So the Reading Log shelves and the reading interface are the core of the app, and everything else kind of happens at the edges. Mark: I thought about some of the good tablet-based reading experiences I’ve had, and imagined what it could look like if the interface were centered around the individual reader and the small set of tools they need to find, manage, and read books. Open Librarian: What were some of the approaches Open Library Reader used to solve these problems? I just wanted to sit down and read, and not have to be reminded of the fact that I was looking at a website through a browser. There was a lot of scrolling and clicking around, a tap in the wrong place could send me off somewhere else, and the book I was reading was always surrounded by browser and bookreader controls. Open Library has a lot of great reads, but I was getting frustrated trying to manage my Reading Log and read books in the tablet browser. Mark: I read a lot of books on my iPad, especially old, hard-to-find mystery novels. Open Librarian: “Why did you find the need to build an Open Library Reader?” We sat down with Mark for an interview to learn why he created the Open Library Reader and which of its features may be appreciated by book lovers who are on the go.Ī picture of a patron’s personal library when logged in to the Open Library Reader app We applaud Mark, not only for the time he invested and showing what’s possible with our APIs, but - true to the spirit of Open Library - for sharing his app for free with patrons, in such a way which seems to respect patron privacy. While Open Library Reader is an unofficial app which is not maintained or supported by the staff at Internet Archive, we’re ecstatic that talented volunteers within our community are stepping up to design new experiences they wish existed for themselves and others. It’s a great way to take your personal library with you on the go. This lite app, which is available for free from the Apple store and Play store, emphasizes the mobile reading experience and showcases the books within a patron’s Open Library reading log. This year, a volunteer within the Open Library community named Mark developed an independent mobile app, an unofficial companion to the website called the Open Library Reader. But for millions of readers across the globe who rely on their phones for access, this hasn’t always presented the ideal mobile reading experience. ![]() For nearly 15 years Open Library has been giving patrons free access to information about books in its catalog, direct to their computers. ![]() ![]() ![]() The something I succeed at is to not prepare. How much have you listened to the recording in preparation for the release? I've thought about calling you a few times to check in, and then I had an excellent excuse, because ECM is about to release Bordeaux Concert. Compared to what I have now, which is a right hand I try to assume is capable of something. Well, that was the pure feeling of: if I look at my piano, I shouldn't play it. When you say that you relate this to chronic fatigue syndrome, how would you differentiate the two experiences? My mother having, and father having been that - and my grandmother. And I usually was fairly Christian Scientistic about it. The only thing I can relate this to is the chronic fatigue syndrome problem that I had. Well, I know that with these things, progress comes slowly. My right hand is not like my right hand was, and my left hand is not at all. So today I went walking down our private road to the beach across from the road, where there's a lake. And walking with and without a cane in different circumstances. Well, I don't know if I'd call it therapy, but I've been using my legs more. And how has recovery been? Have you been doing a lot of physical therapy? ![]() It's a beautiful place in the summertime. We've got flowers, plants, butterflies, birds, everything. I'm presently sitting on my front porch, which I now have called my office. Nate Chinen: It was September of 2020 when we last spoke. Recorded on July 6, 2016, a few days after Budapest, it's another balancing act of consonance and dissonance from a pianist whose blank-slate solo improvisations have always been valorized. Now, in addition to those bookends, ECM is preparing to release Bordeaux Concert. The conclusion of that tour had already been chronicled the previous year, on an album titled Munich 2016. Jarrett's longtime label, ECM Records, cushioned the devastating news with some extraordinary music: Budapest Concert, recorded at the beginning of his final European tour. That revelation, which I reported in a piece for the New York Times, shook Jarrett's worldwide audience, eliciting sympathy and concern along with sorrow over the end of an illustrious concert career. "That's what I remember."Īlmost two years ago, pianist Keith Jarrett shared publicly that he had suffered two strokes in 2018 and would likely never perform again. And I walked along that," Keith Jarrett says of the tour stop captured on Bordeaux Concert. "I remember there was a river next to the hotel, or across the street. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pins and sockets can be arranged in any combination in a single housing, and each housing can be either male or female. The connector typically has 2 to 24 contacts and is polarized or keyed to ensure correct orientation. The pins and sockets are held in a rectangular matrix in a nylon shell. In such a connector, cylindrical spring-metal pins fit into cylindrical spring-metal sockets. Molex has since discontinued the 8981 series, but the original Mate-n-Lok connectors remain available from TE Connectivity. The Molex 8981 series was only produced in a 4-position option, unlike the Mate-n-Lok family which includes many other contact arrangements. In 1983, Molex introduced the 8981 connector under the trademark Disk Drive Power Connection System, which was fully compatible with the AMP Mate-n-Lok connector. This connector became the standard for 5.25-inch format peripherals such as hard drives and was used until introduction of SATA drives. The first 5.25-inch floppy disk drive, the Shugart SA400, introduced in August 1976, used the AMP Mate-n-Lok connector part number 350211-1. Both were widely used in the computer industry and the term "Molex connector" is often used to refer to all nylon plugs and receptacles. ![]() The AMP connector was similar to the patented Molex connectors but not interchangeable. In October 1963, AMP (now TE Connectivity) introduced the Mate-n-Lok connector. First used in home appliances, other industries soon began designing it into their products from automobiles to vending machines to minicomputers. Molex developed and patented the first examples of this connector style in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Mate-n-Lok connector design led to several connector types that have become established for connecting power in desktop PCs because of their simplicity, reliability, flexibility, and low cost, and is more widely known as a "Molex connector" despite not being from the Molex company. It featured improvements such as being keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Developed by Molex Connector Company in the late 1950s, the design features cylindrical spring-metal pins that fit into cylindrical spring-metal sockets, both held in a rectangular matrix in a nylon shell.ĪMP (now TE Connectivity) introduced the Mate-n-Lok connector in October 1963, which was similar to Molex's patented design but not compatible.

These are all the rumors we've heard about Grand Theft Auto 6 thus far. It doesn't take a dedicated trickster to make up rumors involving a setting we've already seen in the series, like Vice City or Liberty City, but a few others have been mentioned, as well. These vary wildly, with some touching on who you will play as-possibly including a playable woman for the first time in the series' single-player mode-to where the game will take place. Little, if anything, is concrete regarding Grand Theft Auto 6's details thus far, but there have been a whole bunch of rumors. Game development can take a very long time nowadays, compared to the early and mid-2000s when four Grand Theft Auto games released in just seven years. We also have some reported details coming in that could make the game very interesting Rockstar Games finally confirmed its development in 2022, more than eight years after the release of GTA 5, and given the studio's tendency to only release games when they're good and ready, it's difficult to tell when we'll actually be able to play it. In fact, we don't even know if that will be the game's official name, but we do at least know it's in active development.

Joy is an emotion characterized by a state of happiness, pleasure, or satisfaction. Along with naming each associated emotion, we'll also describe it so you can identify them within yourself. To help you better understand your emotions, let's dive deep into each subcategory of the main categories. Plutchik has used both two-dimensional and three-dimensional models to show the relationship between primary emotions, the spectrum in which they sit, and the combination of emotions that we may experience at once. On either side of the primary emotions, Plutchik listed “degrees” in which these emotions can be felt. Some days, you’re jumping out of your set with joy! Other days, you are simply feeling calm and happy. Saying that you feel “joy” doesn’t always feel like enough to cover the full spectrum of that one emotion. In between each emotion is an emotion that combines two adjoining emotions: Maybe you’re waiting for a check in the mail or are particularly excited about the year to come. You feel joy, but you also feel anticipation. You have probably found yourself in between two emotions. But there is more to the Emotion Wheel than just eight primary emotions. Disgust, and its opposing emotion, trust.Īlready, this wheel begins to resemble a color wheel.Anticipation, and its opposing emotion, surprise.Joy, and its opposing emotion, sadness.Plutchik believed that humans experience eight primary emotions, and each of these emotions has a polar opposite that is also included on the wheel: His theory of emotion expanded on previous theories, some of which had labeled six primary emotions that all human beings feel. ![]() Robert Plutchik, an American psychologist, created the Emotion Wheel in 1980. ![]() |
