![]() ![]() He replied: “When a man marries his mistress, a vacancy is created.” I remember a philandering politician was asked at his latest wedding whether he would now be a faithful husband. But when they talk about things that have gone wrong, they use words like “it was considered that…”, or “it was felt necessary….”, distancing themselves from the decision-making process through use of the passive voice. Notice that when politicians describe their successes, they say “We took swift action to deal with the situation”. It is the skilful use of the passive voice to evade accountability. ![]() Because of the way he has phrased his statement, we cannot tell. In the latter case, the politician leaves open the possibility that the mistakes were made by someone else and his regret could easily be about someone else’s error. “I made mistakes and I’m sorry” is a very different statement from “mistakes were made and I regret them”. From the politicians’ point of view that is better than “I made mistakes” because it sets up uncertainty about what happened. ![]() The classic example is “mistakes were made”. People in the public eye, particularly politicians, sometimes use the passive voice to obfuscate, confuse and mislead. They do not just affect style and impact, they can also affect meaning. So the starting point for news writing is to favour the active voice – and to recognise the comparatively rare occasions when it will be better to use the passive.īut there is another reason to understand the use of the active and passive voices. The passive voice serves better in this case. This is because the overwhelmingly important subject of the story is the president, not the lion, and you want the president mentioned at the beginning of the story. “A lion has eaten the president” is much less effective than “The president has been eaten by a lion”. But the passive voice is not all bad! Sometimes it is the right choice. It is the default way of writing an interesting story. So the active voice is a basic part of a journalist’s toolkit. The active voice works better – it is less wordy and it puts the human interest angle first. Passive voice: After several months of better trading conditions, the annual bonus to staff at the Fred Smith store group will be paid for the first time in four years.Īctive voice: Staff at Fred Smith stores will get their first annual bonus in four years, after the group reported better trading conditions. Here are two ways of writing the same story: There are exceptions, which we will come to later, but in the vast majority of cases, the active voice gives your story impact and vitality. They are both perfectly correct, grammatically, but the active voice is shorter, stronger and more direct. In the passive voice, something is being done. In the active voice, somebody is doing something. In the passive voice: This module was written by me. ![]() In the active voice: I wrote this module. And verbs have two “voices”: the active and the passive. Strong verbs are the best words for suggesting action: run, leap, hit, accuse, rescue, build, explore, kick, ride, catch, etc. One of the ways is by choosing the active voice. You want to capture that in your writing and seize the attention of your audience. Passive and active voice graphic by Anders Behrmann, Photo by Andrew Medhat on Unsplash ![]()

![]() ![]() (Later got a GED and attended college, although I settled for an Associate's degree) While it's not anything to brag about, I DID take a couple of courses in journalism back in the 70s in high school before I dropped out. "News stories" had gotten to be nothing more than poorly done press releases. I used to read the local paper until I realized the sorry state of today's journalism. The national stuff trickles in via other means, even if I don't deliberately seek it out. When I do read news articles I focus solely on local media. that's a big part of how the modern right-wing machine operates in the US of A, by duping people who let their guard down. ![]() Social media forces us to question everything we read, as opposed to the olden days where trust was a critical factor in keeping a broad enough audience if we don't keep a healthy dose of scepticism at hand, well. It took our existing decline in journalism and made it a thousand times worse by cluttering up everything, and I do mean everything, with opinions, noise, and deliberate misinformation. We have one news company in Hawaii that still conducts what I consider journalism on a national level in the US we have NPR, but that doesn't have nearly the same impact.Īnd don't get me started on social media. We don't have nearly enough time dedicated to people investigating and collating information into real stories, as opposed to the he-said-she-said drivel we get 99% of the time today. I miss journalism as opposed to casual reporting. There’s only one ‘local’ and its anything but. He’d call the reporter sometimes and tell him that his parents wasted their money sending him to college. I remember my father sitting at the table reading and getting mad at op-Ed’s and especially furious about the news articles about his administration. I enjoyed the word games and on Sundays did them all with my sister while my mom cut coupons from the circulars. There was more on college and high school sports as well. Sports were extensively covered, even though there were fewer professional teams. The Newark Star Ledger was filled with comics, far more than the others. The NY Daily News had a liberal view, The Post was very critical and seemed conservative, The Daily Mirror was more neutral, bland, and The NY Times was great for world and national news.Įven the comics among all those papers were different. I devoured them, and very early realized that they all reported differently, much differently. My father was a mayor and loved all levels of politics so we had three area daily newspapers delivered to the house and he brought four home from NYC every night. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other robotic arms have singularities that are impossible to describe without the use of lengthy and complex formulas. Some robot arms have singularities that are extremely easy to identify. (Actually, the correct term is six-degree-of-freedom, but let’s stick to the popular, unscientific term six-axis). “A robot singularity is a configuration in which the robot end-effector becomes blocked in certain directions.”Īny six-axis robot arm (also known as a serial robot, or serial manipulator) has singularities. A robot singularity is a configuration in which the robot end-effector becomes blocked in certain directions. In contrast, try jogging the same robot in Cartesian space and the robot will frequently stop and refuse to go in certain directions, although it seems to be far from what you think is the workspace boundary. Try jogging a six-axis robot arm in joint space, and the only time the robot will stop is when a joint hits a limit or when there is a mechanical interference. Singularities arise when this calculation fails (for example, when you have division by zero) and must therefore be avoided. To find the necessary joint positions along the desired Cartesian path, the robot controller must calculate the inverse position and velocity kinematics of the robot. For Cartesian-space motion commands, you specify a desired pose (position and orientation) for the end-effector AND a desired Cartesian path (linear or circular). For joint-space motion commands (sometimes incorrectly called point-to-point commands), you simply specify - directly or indirectly - a desired set of joint positions, and the robot moves by translating or rotating each joint to the desired joint position, simultaneously and in a linear fashion. Hence, there are two sets of position-mode motion commands that make an industrial robot move. In general, it is impossible to cross a wrist singularity when controlling the robot in Cartesian spaceĪn industrial robot can be controlled in two spaces: joint space and Cartesian space. You must therefore know how to keep away from robot singularities by properly designing your robot cell. If this is the case, then you must learn about robot singularities, because these special configurations will often impede the Cartesian movements of your robot end-effector. You will likely also need the end-effector to follow prescribed paths as in gluing, or when inserting a pin. If you intend to use a six-axis robot arm, such as Mecademic’s Meca500, the example featured in this tutorial, you will probably need to do more than just position and orient the robot end-effector in various poses. ![]() ![]() ![]() This vehicle benefits from: AMG Exterior Carbon Fibre Package, Electric Rear Blind, Sun Roof, Harman Kardon and so much MORE!

Somehow having oatmeal in them makes them seem healthier, so I’ve been making them more and more! I doubt these are any healthier, but it’s a nice change from chocolate chip cookies. They didn’t last long and my kids and neighbors ate them up fast. I decided to make up a batch of the best eggless oatmeal cookies EVER, take a picture, type it up and it was the best decision I made this weekend. I had a comment on that webpage about an oatmeal cookie recipe and I realized I had never put my recipe up here. Next, add in the vanilla pudding mix, the vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Proceed to let the mixture boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir occasionally, melt ingredients, and bring the mixture to a boil. My most popular post is my eggless chocolate chip cookie recipe. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and milk, cook over medium heat. I prefer old-fashioned over quick oats for this recipe because they give more texture. Make oatmeal bars instead of oatmeal cookies for an easier recipe. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with foil. Stir oats into batter and allow to rest for an hour on the counter before baking. Check out my privacy policy for more info.

The reason for this is that debug info does not contain information on these methods, so the profiler is unable to analyze them.Ĭalls to properties are displayed as calls to property’s read or write methods ( get_PropertyName and set_PropertyName). Solid arrow heads represent synchronous calls, open arrow heads represent asynchronous messages, and dashed lines represent reply messages. The profiler ignores calls to abstract and interface methods. It will ignore all other routines, even if they are specified in the “Including” areas. Lifeline Entities of participants in a collaboration (scenario) are written horizontally across the top of the diagram. The profiler analyzes only routines that are located in the module, to which the start-point routine belongs. ![]() If a routine was not included in profiling, the profiler does not parse it and does not parse calls to its child functions. The profiler supports routine-level areas only. The profiler has the following specifics: Note that these are potential links between routines, since the profiler statically analyzes your application and it cannot predict whether conditional calls will be performed. After both of these messages are done, the hungryPerson object is returned yummyFood from the oven object.The Sequence Diagram Link profiler is a convenient tool to trace links between methods and functions without running the application. When the oven object receives that message, it sends two messages to itself at the same time (nukeFood and rotateFood). the sequence diagram should describe a sequence (as the name hints). The sequence goes like this: A hungryPerson sends the cookFood message to the oven object. i dont think its appropriate for a sequence diagram. While the figure below may not illustrate the best computer system example of an object doing activities in parallel, it offers an easy-to-understand example of a sequence with parallel activities. Drag and connect shapes to build the sequence of steps or elements that make up the. I have seen switch-case recommendations for activity diagram, however I can not find an example for sequence diagram. Each operand in the frame represents a thread of execution done in parallel. In this video, watch how to get a flowchart diagram started in Visio. You then break up the frame’s content section into horizontal operands separated by a dashed line. The parallel combination fragment is drawn using a frame, and you place the text “par” in the frame’s namebox. ![]() The parallel combination fragment element should be used when creating a sequence diagram that shows parallel processing activities. When the processing time needed to finish portions of a complex task takes longer than previously thought, some systems handle parts of the processing in tandem. ![]() Where there is a break combination, which is part of an alternative or a loop, then only the alternative or loop is exited. Once all the messages in the break combination have been sent, the sequence exits without sending any of the remaining messages (e.g., addDebitTransaction).Īn important thing to note about breaks is that they only cause the exiting of an enclosing interaction’s sequence and not necessarily the complete sequence depicted in the diagram. However, in cases where the balance is less than the amount, then the sequence enters the break combination fragment and its messages are sent. If the balance is not less than the amount, the next message sent is the addDebitTransaction message, and the sequence continues as normal. When the sequence gets to the return value “balance,” it checks to see if the balance is less than the amount. The figure below uses a break combination fragment since it treats the balance < amount condition as an exception instead of as an alternative flow. First, a break’s frame has a name box stating “break” instead of “option.” Second, when a break combined fragment’s message is to be executed, the enclosing interaction’s remainder messages will not be executed because the sequence breaks out of the enclosing interaction.īreaks are utilized to model exception handling. The break combined fragment is similar to the option combined fragment. If you do recall, back in the post called – The Basics & the Purpose of Sequence Diagrams ~ Part 2 – there was information on combined fragments known as “alternative,” “option,” and “loop.” While these combined fragments are what most people will utilize the most, there are other combined fragments, such as break and parallel, which a large share of people will find useful. While we did spend some time discussing Gates and its use or relevance to Sequence Diagrams, we now concentrate on just two elements known as Combined fragments.

The Portrait d’une femme noire, painted in 1800 by Marie Guillemine Benoist - a supporter of women’s causes. The strong black empowerment message in “Apeshit” hinges on one rare piece of art. Most notably, “Single Ladies”, “Run The World (Girls)” and “Formation” follow that trend. The theme of female empowerment is weaved throughout Beyonce’s solo albums over the years. Those familiar with biblical teachings know that Mary was a strong young woman of virtue chosen to be Jesus mother. The classic painting depicts the virgin Mary nursing the baby Jesus. This could be a reference to Beyonce and Jay-Z as the Queen and King, heads of their own empire.Īlso in the introduction is Madonna with the Green Cushion. The gallery features paintings of the sun god Apollo, a symbol associated with fertility. Prior to the first appearance by Beyonce and Jay-Z, the video starts with images of the Galerie d’Apollon, a royal gallery built for King Louis XIV (Louis The Great), who reigned in France during the ’s. Images of rare art at Louvre create the opening scene of “ApeShit”. Carter allow the audience to enjoy the visuals without restraint of opinion. It’s the same experience you get when visiting a museum or art show.

For those who don’t love the art experience, the music beats, designer wardrobe and well choreographed dance scenes are enough to keep you interested. If you love art and visiting museums, watching “Apeshit” is an enjoyable experience. The couple speak about achieving fame, success and keeping it in the songs lyrics. The strong female and black empowerment themes are throughout “ApeShit” single and Everything is Love album. The couple, who wed a decade ago and have three children, use the rare art to follow the songs lyrics flaunting gratitude for success, wealth and fame. The song follows the gratitude, dynasty building, crazy crowds and luxury lifestyle of Beyonce and Jay-Z. The art in “Apeshit” is very intentional. Here’s a breakdown of the creative detail and my thoughts on The Carters (Jay-Z and Beyonce’s real last name and band name for the joint project) Everything is Love album. The video’s popularity earned it 41 million YouTube views in one week. The theme of female and black empowerment are weaved within the artistry of the video. There hasn’t been a video with this kind of interesting detail captivating audiences since TLC’s “Waterfalls” released in 1995.Īt first glance “Apeshit” it looks like another music superstar filming a video on location, until you examine the combination of the lyrics, wardrobe and art. Beyonce and Jay-Z just released the best music video of both careers spanning two decades of Hip-hop and R&B. Hip-Hop Icons Beyonce and Jay-Z used famed Paris-based Louvre Museum as the backdrop for the hit single “Apeshit” video. This isn't the first time the couple posed together in front of the Mona Lisa, but it is a little more polished than the selfies they shared during their 2014 visit.Most musicians film videos on private jets, boats and dance clubs. Vulture notes that the Louvre wouldn't comment on how much the couple paid to rent out the museum for the shoot. As The New York Times points out, around 500 shoots take place at the Louvre every year, with Wonder Woman and Fifty Shades Freed among recent notable examples. ![]() It's not all that surprising that the Louvre would agree to the super-famous couple wanting to shoot there, but it is pretty shocking that the museum reportedly costs about $17,500 for people to get the privilege to film there. “The deadlines were very tight but the Louvre was quickly convinced because the synopsis showed a real attachment to the museum and its beloved artworks.” During their last visit in May 2018, they explained their idea of filming,” a spokesperson explained to Vulture. “Beyoncé and JAY-Z visited the Louvre four times in the last ten years. The album, which was released by the duo under the name The Carters, was accompanied by a lavish video for the Quavo-featuring single "Apeshit." Filmed on location in the Louvre in Paris, the Ricky Saiz-directed video also acts as a very effective commercial for the iconic museum, so it makes sense that the Louvre agreed to it. Over the weekend, Beyoncé and JAY-Z surprised the world with the sudden drop of their first collaborative album, Everything Is Love. ![]() |
