![]() Introducing the manifesto on behalf of the Agile Alliance, Jim Highsmith said, Some of the authors formed the Agile Alliance, a non-profit organization that promotes software development according to the manifesto's values and principles. A project plan is important, but it must not be too rigid to accommodate changes in technology or the environment, stakeholders' priorities, and people's understanding of the problem and its solution.A contract is important but is no substitute for working closely with customers to discover what they need.Good documentation is useful in helping people to understand how the software is built and how to use it, but the main point of development is to create software, not documentation.Tools and processes are important, but it is more important to have competent people working together effectively.That is to say, while both sides have value and the items on the right should be considered, the authors felt that the items on the left should have more influence on how people approach their work. Responding to change over following a plan.Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.Working software over comprehensive documentation. ![]() ![]()

![]() ![]() Home often worked in full light, however, and many mental mediums do also. Mediums needed darkness to initiate spirit manifestation- critics would claim to perpetrate fraud-using either moonlight or red incandescent light. Lighting, or lack of it, characterized most early Séances. Modern-day mediums, most of whom are mental, seldom use such props. The medium went inside the cabinet for manifestations or sat outside. This was a piece of furniture, like an armoire, but most often it was nothing more than a corner of the room hung with black curtains. Physical mediums once included a so-called CABINET, a kind of enclosure to attract spiritual energy. The furniture should be simple, preferably wood, and should not be ornamented with cushions or hangings. Places steeped in colourful history, such as castles, catacombs, country houses and old churches, make propitious Séance locales. The furnishings of the Séance room, and its location, set the tone for the sitting. Conversation masks noise, too, but also breaks the fear and tension created by spirit manifestations. ![]() William Stainton Moses found that music harmonizes and soothes the situation critics, however, believe music covers a multitude of fraudulent noises. Most sittings open with hymns and prayers-in many cases, the Lord’s Prayer- and include songs and prayers throughout the Séance. Mediums consider music and conversation to be vital to the success of the Séance. Unwritten codes of conduct forbid sitters to grab the medium in case such a sudden jarring could jeopardize the medium’s return to consciousness, causing illness or perhaps even death. Mediums must guard against extreme swings of emotion and never take stimulants. No more than two or three Séances should be conducted weekly, and each should last no more than two hours unless the spirits ask for an extension. Strangers should be admitted to the Séance circle carefully, introduced only after at least six sittings have been held with the same persons. Several mediums, most notably the Davenport Brothers, conducted Séances for audiences numbering over a thousand. Hands are placed flat on the table, fingers touching, or sometimes clasped. A circular arrangement of chairs around a table seems to work best, with no more than eight sitters. Sitters who are worried about the proceedings or are overly skeptical tend to depress results. Younger sitters often get better results. Participants should be nearly equally divided by gender. General observances are followed to help ensure success. Séances are most often held in the home of either the medium or one of the sitters, but they can take place anywhere two or more people gather for such purpose. Most modern Séances involve mental Mediumship and are more informal. Early spiritualist Séances were dramatic and theatrical, taking place in darkened parlours around circular tables and featuring physical mediumistic feats. Séances were popular during the rise of Spiritualism and continue to be conducted in modern times. Not much else on such spirit meetings appeared until the meteoric rise of the Fox Sisters in the mid-1800s. Dee and Some Spirits, the first recorded Séance. ![]() In 1659 Reverend Meric Casaubon wrote A True and Faithful Relation of What Passed Between Dr. References to Séance communications date back as far as the writings of Porphyry in the 3rd century C.E. Séances are conducted in many paranormal investigations of haunted places in order to produce evidence of Haunting, or to obtain information about Ghosts thought to be present. A Séance is a sitting organized for the purpose of receiving spirit communications or paranormal manifestations via a Medium. ![]() ![]() ![]() The latter involves just setting parameters on the flash units themselves, so that you can mix together manual, TTL and stroboscopic flashes. ![]() There are three different operating configurations for the YN-622N system: master control mode (covered in our earlier article), remote control mode and mix control mode. ![]() Beyond that, you can try ganging together multiple speedlights, or use more flags and “negative fill” (black walls) in your studio to reduce the ambient light falling on your subject. Experimenting with different manual power levels could yield brighter results. On the left there is no flash and on the right is the same scene lit with a remote Nikon SB-800 bouncing light off the right-hand wall. However, at extremely high speeds, above 1/2000 second or so, the contribution from the Nikon SB-800 is reduced since the shutter simply isn’t open long enough to let all its light in — and this is more a limitation of the camera-flash combination than of the triggers. The Yongnuo YN-622N synchronises cleanly at all shutter speeds, as shown. Increasing the shutter speed reduces the amount of natural light in the exposure. Why might you need high-speed sync? In this demonstration, we wanted to shoot our 50mm f/1.8 lens wide-open for a narrow depth-of-field, but this means letting a lot of light into the camera and we weren’t able to black out the windows of our studio enough to eliminate the unwanted extra ambient light. We’ve also been getting to grips with Yongnuo’s so-called “remote control mode” — controlling your flash setup using just the YN-622N transmitter, as opposed to “master control mode” (see first review) where you have a Commander flash sitting on top of your transmitter and make the adjustments from there. In this article we’ll be looking at high-speed sync: the ability to use flashes with your camera at fast shutter speeds without banding in your photographs. Following on from our earlier overview of the Yongnuo YN-622N i-TTL flash triggers, we’re testing out a couple more features that these devices have to offer. ![]() ![]() ![]() Don’t post inquiring on a pending, late, or missing payment.Don’t post inquiring on a partnership application.Don’t post regarding twitch support responses.Don’t post regarding reporting an account.Don’t post regarding an account suspension outside of the permitted Ban Discussion Guidelines.Surveys must follow our Survey Guidelines.Don't post a link to a YouTube video, social media account, blog, or similar website outside the Advertisement Guidelines.Don’t post third party advertisements, without permission.Don’t post a account name / link related to promoting a page.Don't post non-productive complaints about Twitch.No racism, sexism, homophobia, or other hate-based speech.Don't call out others in a negative manner.Don't break Twitch’s ToS or Community Guidelines.Don't encourage others to break the subreddit rules.With files from CTV News London’s Daryl Newcombe and CTVNews.We encourage folks to use the new Reddit design for the Collections feature that houses our Events & Archives. “I want there to be a point in the future where I don’t have to worry constantly about being harassed in this way.” ![]() They want to do everything they can to build a future where we don’t exist,” she said. “They want to push us back in the closet. “This community has given them an outlet to be themselves.” “I’ve seen people come out to their families because of this community, I’ve seen people say this community is the only place they feel comfortable talking about being trans,” she said.

Sorrenti said people have told her to keep her head down and not talk about the incident, but it doesn’t make things better. While she is leaving Canada within the week, she isn’t permanently moving to a new country, and will instead be travelling around for awhile. And that’s why I’m just leaving the continent right now.” “I don’t want to die, but there are people who want me to die and are willing to put the wheels in motion to make that happen. “And this is why, especially after getting swatted, getting doxxed could be a death sentence for me,” Sorrenti said while livestreaming on Sunday. It was this latest incident - and the ongoing threats to her life - that convinced her to leave the country. Sorrenti has been doxxed twice this month alone, the most recent occurrence happening after someone hacked her Uber account and ordered at least $500 worth of food. Sorrenti recently told CTV News London that she has started to receive anonymous death threats.

"Swatting" involves making a false threat that will draw a large tactical police response to an unsuspecting victim’s home.Īt the time of the incident, London police used Sorrenti’s deadname - which refers to the birth name of a transgender person - and her incorrect gender. Sorrenti was arrested during the swatting incident and had her phone and two computers seized, but she was later released from police custody, and her belongings were returned to her days later. ![]() “I thought I was going to die,” Sorrenti told CTV News London on Aug.

We might not be back for a while, but if it’s within a short driving distance for you, it’s worth checking out.The Hotel Grano de Oro houses one of San José's premier dining destinations: a splendid restaurant wrapped around a lovely indoor patio and bromeliad-filled garden. The best that can be said about Ocean Delight is it reminded us of the fun of dim sum on the weekend. Restrooms: Never got around to checking them out, but I held my own until we got home. Parking: Seemed to be plenty in front, around the side and in the back. ThGe amount of good food for a relatively small sum is the main reason for the popularity of dim sum. It was nice to see the owners working the room. ![]() The language barrier between Chinese and English speaking people only arose once ( pork instead of tofu ). Service: The women who manned the carts were friendly and helpful. There’s a case with bottles of wine near the entrance which tells customers “we’ve got wine”, but we stuck with hot tea which was very good. Another dish, asparagus, was requested at the beginning of our meal, but arrived toward the end with dessert. One dish was advertised as bean and tofu, but became obvious it was filled with pork. Other people might rate those same dishes 4 or 5 stars, but there’s no way we could do that after eating top-of-the-line dim sum in other restaurants. Everything we tried was worth 3 or 4 stars. Since we mostly eat fish and vegetables, we focused on those choices. The rest of our lunch moved in much the same way. Within 1 minute of arriving, the first cart was already at our table with a sampling of food in baskets. Since we arrived for dim sum, we never opened the menu and instead focused out attention on the carts of food rolled around the room. The layout, furnishings and atmosphere reminded me of a typical Chinese easant and low key. It looks like the type of place which housed a Bob’s Big Boy in an earlier life. Dining Room: Ocean Delight is in a standalone building along Monterey Road about one block north of Blossom Hill Road. Good friends of our’s were driving through San Jose on their way to Southern California and suggested we get together for Sunday lunch at one of their favorite places for dim sum, Ocean Delight.

Downsize your expectations for something special. Suggestion: It’s a good middle-of-the-road place. The bathroom was not clean either and the floor in the hallway on the way over was gross. THe sesame balls were gummy and not hot, no crispy edge before the pillow of sweet glutinous rice- ours were lukewarm and greasy. The bean curd skin rolls were dry and weirdly chewy, the onion pancake was fabulous, crunchy, tasty, fried skin. The spare ribs were bony and chewy and bland flavored. The dumplings are then steamed causing the aspic to liquefy into a broth that fills the traditional dumpling with savory juicy goodness. Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) By adding aspic to seasoned poultry, moist Berkshire-Duroc pork and fresh crab. The seafood su mai were ground bits of whatever but suspiciously like surimi. MENU House Specials Our house special classic Chinese style dim sum. I had to ask for the picture book three times and it did not include prices either. They do not have an active cart loaded with hot steaming baskets nd when i asked for a paper to write down our choices I was rebuked by the waiter that was not how they did it. Even though we had been once before and were definitely not impressed, based on her review we decided to give it a second chance. One of my former students rated this place highly on her food blog. My dear friend and I like to eat dim sum and have visited several places in the area. ![]() ![]() ![]() Features of Movist ProĮmbedded Subtitles in. ![]() Movist supports many useful features for enjoying movies, including H.264 video decode acceleration, digital audio out (S/PDIF), high-quality subtitles, full-screen navigation, a convenient and beautiful user interface, and so on.

But as we all keep shifting from one universe to another, a wacky byproduct that occurs is certain people might remember history and popular culture from their past timeline, and not the one they are presently in. If you want to get really heady, time is really a byproduct from shifting from one multiverse to another like different frames on the Universe's celluloid film. The multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple universes (including the universe in which we live) together, these universes (universi?) comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. To explain it, you must first accept the concept of the multiverse theory, also known as an omniverse.
