![]() Also, in comparison to Track-o-Bot, it lacks any simple way to distinguish between the decks of your opponent beyond which class they were playing. It offers far fewer in-game features than Hearthstone Deck Tracker, but feels bloated and heavy compared to the elegant simplicity of Track-o-Bot. Hearthstone Tracker is the third popular option for deck tracking software, but somewhat pales in comparison to the two options listed above. This means that although the stats on decks you’re playing will always be very precise, reports on your winrates will be limited to scores vs classes, and not broken down further into specific deck archetypes. The major downside, however, is that Hearthstone Deck Tracker lacks the tools to separate opposing deck archetypes in its stat reports. This is an invaluable tool to any player that experiments regularly with different decks, and is a simple way of dodging the nine deck slot limit currently imposed by Blizzard in the game. Hearthstone Deck Tracker can also export any deck you’ve saved directly into Hearthstone at the click of a button. Thankfully Hearthstone Deck Tracker offers the ability to disable parts or all of this overlay in a very robust settings menu. This can be both a blessing and a curse, as it can become too much of a crutch for your play in the long term, especially if you hope to transition to tournament play where the use of deck trackers is banned. This level of information at your fingertips can allow you to make informed plays without the level of memory, concentration, or calculation that is required to make the same play in a tournament situation. Although this overlay can be intimidating at first, a handy annotated screenshot is available on their GitHub page explaining what each section means. This includes the odds of your opponent holding a particular card in their hand, the odds of you drawing a particular card next turn, which cards were kept in your opponent's hand at mulligan, and which cards have been drawn and played from both player’s decks. So what’s the fuss about? Hearthstone Deck Tracker creates an in-game overlay that provides you with information that otherwise requires a extremely high level of attentiveness and concentration to obtain. Some competitive players have gone so far as calling for it to be banned by Blizzard due to the advantages it provides. Of the three options tested here, Hearthstone Deck Tracker is the most well known and the most controversial. Track-o-Bot also includes other standard features like a built in Arena tracker, game replay playback via a simple text based interface, and import/export functions to allow you to share the same account across multiple devices. The card you’ve added as the new flag may never be drawn in a game, or it may also be a flag for a different build, creating conflicts in the recognition software. You can create a new deck entry by telling the recognition software to look out specifically for the cards you changed, but this is unreliable for a variety of reasons. If you change one or two cards in your build as a response to your data on the meta, it’s difficult to get Track-o-Bot to then provide you with the information on your new deck as a separate entity. Although this works fine in theory, it makes it difficult to track the difference in win rate between slight revisions of the same deck. ![]() The downside of Track-o-Bot is that it uses the same card recognition process to decide which deck you’re playing. That’s why keeping personal stats is crucial for players hoping to improve performance. However, your own experience, depending on the server you play and the time of day, may well differ wildly. ![]() Meta snapshots like those provided by Tempo Storm (opens in new tab) and Liquid Hearth (opens in new tab) can provide you with data on which decks are supposedly common or should perform well. It's also easy to lose track of exactly how well a deck has performed for you over a day's play. So why is objective data important? Well, it's easy to overestimate the amount of Face Hunter you're actually playing against: those losses tend to feel extra painful, and so they stick out in your mind. Importantly, all three of the tested options here are, at the time of writing, deemed safe for use by Blizzard and do not contravene any aspect of their ToS. They achieve this through a background process that records data from the Hearthstone client through various methods ranging from image recognition to software hooks. He also writes guides for Icy Veins, all while finding time to be a national Yo-Yo champion.ĭeck Trackers will take your ladder matches and turn them into easily quantifiable data that you can then base decisions on.

The origins of the Brotherhood of Assassins go back even before they were called "assassins". Other classes of killers include herbalists, tricksters, thieves, rioters, and in the modern era, historians, analysts, and computer technicians. In the modern era, these types of killers have come to be known as "operatives". The Brotherhood often has different classes, and each of them fulfills a vital role, although the archetype remains the most common. Various specializationsĬontrary to popular belief, not all assassins fall under the archetype of being able to run freely, jump from heights, and kill from the shadows. If the situation is right, the Assassins will perform the last rites for those who fall prey to their blades. ![]() When Ezio Auditore refused to honor his defeated enemy, who was his longtime rival, his uncle Mario, reprimanded him. When a member of the Brotherhood died, they were often buried in their respective crypts and large tombs, especially by those considered by the Brotherhood to be the greatest Assassins, such as Altair and Ezio. The Assassins had great respect for the departed, both allies and enemies. Challenges often include contracts to eliminate the enemy and other missions to further the goals of the Brotherhood. Regardless of the method of initiation, all assassins must pass a series of tests and trainingbefore they can become full members. Vivid examples of the descendants of the Assassins - Ezio и Desmond Mileswhose fathers were in the Brotherhood. There are two ways to be accepted into the Brotherhood: to be born into it or to be recruited. Interestingly, Juno considered this a defect inherent in all people.Īltair considered this ideology to be hypocrisy: if "nothing is true", then the theory is based on beliefs? Edward Kenway He considered this principle more of a working theory than an established belief. From this comes the theory underlying the principle of Brotherhood: a person can only know that he knows nothing. Any particular truth on a universal scale is unrealistic and impossible. The principle of brotherhood stems from the idea that true or complete objectivity is unattainable. This forced the brotherhood to improve the mechanism of the blade, which Altair did. Those who played the DLC for Assassin's Creed Odyssey have witnessed this event first hand - the moment when Darius killed King Xerxes I. The very first use of the hidden blade is documented in the XNUMXth century BC. The Hidden Blade is the killer's ultimate weapon, an integral part of the Assassin's image, who work both in stealth and in plain sight. ![]() They - human-Isu hybrids and fought against their creators in the name of freedom, and then stole Apple of Eden An artifact used by the Isu to control people. Adam and Eve can be called proto-Assassins. Although Adam and Eve are not technically Assassins themselves, their actions are seen by the Brotherhood as befitting their own. Longtime fans of the Assassin's Creed series are aware the meaning of the mythology of Adam and Eve in the game world. Why don't assassins have a ring finger?. ![]() ![]() ![]() But, ah, now, what do those note-namers call them? Fillip, twitch, flick? Nope. It comes from Old English cwafian‘quake, tremble’, and is related to German quabbeln ‘quiver’.īut if you think a quaver is quivering, well… If you can add one flag, you can add two, and make a sixteenth note, or three, and make a thirty-second note, or four, and make a sixty-fourth note. Same word.īy the way, does quaver look Latin to you? It looks Latin to me. And then the note that represented a half of an actual four-in-a-bar beat, what the fraction-naming people call an eighth note, was a quaver, because, well, it was a little twitch or trembling in the music. And then half of that was a crotchet, probably because it looks (or looked) like a hook (think of that next time you crochet something). So half a semibreve, what North Americans call a half note, got the name minim, because it was minimal. The hierarchy of rhythm was getting more involved. Yes, during the baroque and classical eras, the composers started adding quicker and quicker notes, partly because there was a good way of indicating them to the musicians, but also, the conception of a bar was changing. And then it came to be that just one of those short ( breve) notes signified a whole bar, and you started adding stems to note marks and filling them in and adding flags to the stems to indicate shorter and shorter notes. That’s right, two whole notes was a short note.Īnd this is where, long before being introduced to physics, I started to understand that time is relative.īack when music first started being written in bars (and drawing rooms and studios, but bars are where the liquid inspiration is), those long notes really were normal notes. Wait, what? So a breve is two whole notes? Yeah! And if you’re a word-oriented person like I was (and am), you will think, “Wait, breve looks like it means ‘brief’, as in ‘short,’” which in fact it does. But then, if you learn as I did, you also learn that they have these fancy-ass names, apparently from the same people who gave us pounds, shillings, pence, halfpennies, farthings, and all that stuff. The ones with tails that are half of those are eighth notes. The notes that are a beat each are quarter notes. But no! It names a note the length of a whole bar. If you’re first learning music in Canada or the US, the odds are not bad that you will think that whole note ought to refer to one of those four black notes with stems that populate a bar. So what would make sense for us to call those? On the other hand, sometimes you split those one-beat notes in half or even quarter. Sometimes you have just one four-beat-long note for a bar. Sometimes you join those notes together to make a double-length note. “common” time, marked with a C that was in fact originally a half a circle) has four notes, right? One two three four, one two three four, and so on. A normal bar of music in 4/4 time (a.k.a. I had the advantage of learning in my childhood both systems of naming of musical notes, and the disjunction between them – not to mention their internal systemic weirdness – was one of my early clues that the established adult world was, shall we say, inconsistent. ![]() Oh, are those words unfamiliar? Depending on where you’re from, they may be. This is not absolutely true all the way, but look: breve, semibreve, minim, crotchet, quaver, semiquaver, demisemiquaver, hemidemisemiquaver. As the notes get shorter, their names get longer. ![]() ![]() Android File Transfer says “No Android device found”, now what?

Nepgear wakes up in the morning, feeling lighter, while Nepgya watches from the side, wondering where she should go. While Nepgear is sleeping, Nepgya separated herself from Nepgear as a spirit, thinking that it is time for her to leave and let Nepgear find her own personality and happiness. Nepgear then looks at the calendar and was disappointed on the fact that the date was April 1. Nepgear jumps in joy, while briefly turning her face into Nepgya. 24 to 26, Neptune tells Nepgear, as a celebration of the comics' second year, that the Nepgya face is banned for the year. 14, Nepgear seems to have her expressions back as she talks to the viewer, only to rip her face mask off and reveal that she is still stuck with the expression.ĭuring Vol. Nepgear tries to revert her face back, only to fail and just settled with a smile. 7, the expression returned to Nepgear's face, shocking Nepgear in the process.

Her personality is very similar to Nepgear's. However, Nepgya is capable of changing her facial expressions depending on her emotions. This facial expression is based on Nepgear's shocked expression since the release of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. Most of the time, sweat drops run over her face. The main difference between her and Nepgear are Nepgya's oval-shaped, white eyes, and - whenever it is open - her square-shaped mouth.

While teacher content knowledge is crucially important to the improvement of teaching and learning, attention to its development and study has been uneven. By using the ecological engineering metaphor, the preparation of mathematics for teaching is presented as a two-sided process that involves both the adaptation of knowledge and the modification of its environment. To promote a more holistic understanding, an alternative metaphor is offered: preparing mathematics for teaching as ecological engineering. ![]() Although these metaphors are powerful and allow for different ways of thinking and speaking about preparing mathematics for teaching, they suggest that preparing mathematics for teaching is largely a one-sided process in the sense of an adaptation of the knowledge in question. The metaphorical language used in these schools of thought is based on different theoretical positions, orientations, and images of preparing mathematics for teaching. Among the metaphors under consideration here are: the unpacking metaphor, which finds its origin in the Anglo-American school of thought of pedagogical reduction of mathematics the elementarization metaphor, which has its origin in the German school of thought of didactic reconstruction of mathematics and the recontextualization metaphor, which originates in the French school of thought of didactic transposition. This paper explores how different schools of thought in mathematics education think and speak about preparing mathematics for teaching by introducing and proposing certain metaphors. ![]() ![]() Commonwealth mission 3 - easy: Complete the third British mission on easy.
