*** ~ The Invisible Problem: Video As The Best Medium For Most Things ~ ***
Do you know how to learn? I don't think you do. Because we've all learned the same way. From school. The broken school system that we all know, and that some are reinventing.
Let's elaborate. When learning anything (that isn't invisible), we don't need to know awkward, confusing, and strange words. That do not mean anything, in and of itself.
~ Hard Words ~
What I mean by the invisible? Take 1+1. That's arithmetic, a branch of mathematics. That's invisible. We don't know what 1 is. What don't know what 1 means. It's just a line that goes up and down on the right wall in a cave of a caveman's drawing.
Until, of course, some inventive educators (not necessarily the traditional concept of "teachers") decides upon themselves, and say, "Hey let's show what 1 means. These 1st graders doesn't understand what 1 means. Here's 1 apple, and here's another apple. 1+1. We've shown it. Then we're golden.
That's what seems to be invisible, but is not. Is it? Of course the idea is invisible. 1 does not designate 1 apple. Clearly 1, as a concept/idea, is invisible. 1 is "1 of a unit". But a unit could be anything. How do you really define a unit? Not all units are physical objects. And if they aren't physical, you cannot show it, on a physical level.
So, that's a little bit about what I mean by the invisible.
~ Love, as invisible ~
You can show love to someone. You can hug them. But you can still show things, in a physical way, when the idea/thing, love, is still invisible. Love is an emotion. Emotions are invisible. You can draw it, and symbolise an emotion. But is never truly what the emotion IS. You can show something invisible by representation. As a concept, the idea is still invisible.
How do you explain things that are invisible to someone? Like love. Really? I've no idea. I'm sure someone far smarter and knowledgeable would though.
The emotion is in the neuroscience of our "mind". So until neuroscience, as a scholarly field, advances where they can show in the brain via an MR or whatever machine/device they use. Then they can show emotions. Or maybe they cannot, and emotions are more complicated than that. And they would need to explain how an emotion like love works via no more than mere words.
I'm sure there's a more academic word for the "the invisible", in this linguistic sense. Not sure what field of study, or more likely, what fields of study, this would be categorised under. Categorised wrongly, obviously, as that's how all categories/genres are.
But I'll run across it one day.
~ What I say again? ~
So what did I say again? When learning anything (that isn't invisible), we don't need to know awkward, confusing, and strange words. That do not mean anything, in and of itself.
So these words.
First of all, why do we need words? To communicate with one another. But I said we don't need words when talking about things that aren't invisible. You may ask, "Well then, how can we communicate with one another without words?"
Images. Moving images. Like video.
A little bit of words, when necessary, help though.
So let's rephrase. We don't need complicated words. That doesn't mean anything.
Nonverbal communication accounts for safely 90% of the message.
How poorly designed text, as a communication medium, really is. We need to understand that.
~ Origins Of Stuff & Histories ~
If it's so bad, why do we use words, on topics that video can do far better?
Like much of what is wrong with the world, they stem from the outdated past. During a time period where that was the best option, and the best invention, humanity could make -- for the times -- for the times, I repeat.
~ The Video Age ~
Today, we live in a video-dominated age. When did video first start? Recently when the Web became more developed? Of course not, they had films back then if you really think about it.
~ Teachers: People That Speak Words ~
So teachers are like a video, only worst due to less flexibility in what you can do (if they were a software, they lack of many features)
But better in the way that they can give immediate feedback. That two-way system that video (premade videos only) doesn't have. Live video is an example of videos that aren't premade. Combining video with a live person is another example. I'm sure there are more.
But teachers are basing their teaching on the textbook, and little to none from their own base of knowledge, and any of that base of knowledge would've been from textbooks anyway.
~ The Video Age ~
If video is really so good, we doesn't everyone use it??
You know what? They do. The proportionally few good ones that is. You haven't gotten around? Live in that caveman's cave?
~ Pixels ~
Pixels, that topic, is a great example of how clearly video is the best medium ever to show. We don't need representation of words to confuse and clutter the physical objects that these digital objects and button are.
Video is the best medium, at this current point in time, to teach/show anything related to pixels. This could be photoshop, or whatever.
~ Results ~
So we live in this world where we now have video. But so much of society is outdated. With outdated practises.
I hate words when we don't need them When there is better mediums to communicate 100x more effectively than words ever could.
You fail to see how significant 100x really is. How many orders of a magnitude is that anyway? I don't know. I don't know enough.
You also fail to see how much of what was said is about invisible, highly abstract, things/ideas. And some things aren't. So which ones were the things I could've shown far better in video, or maybe everything could've expressed better on video?
Video = moving images + still images like diagrams, slides with charts & infographics + sounds (like music, etc.) + maybe words +
~ Ends ~
Look, the point is that words are bad in so many ways. SO. MANY. WAYS. I shouldn't have to say it any more than once if you actually knew how to learn. I shouldn't have to say it -- at all -- if you knew at this moment how to learn. And you need to understand that. That words are bad in SO MANY WAYS. And to stop using them. Especially when you're trying to teach (or give answers, solutions, etc.)
Words are easier, sometimes, though. So that could be why I'm using it.
I'm not using complicated words though. And this was about complicated, strange, and meaningless words. So get that straight.

    Yes, your entire family can use one AppleID just for purchases in the iTunes and App Stores, then each of you can use your own unique AppleIDs for all other services (iCloud accounts, iMessage accounts and so on).
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), and you can use a different one for each service Apple offers, if you wished to.
    By doing what you suggest, you also limit the number of AppleIDs with payment information associated with them, so there is only one single AppleID that can be compromised that way.  Keeping one AppleID for purchases and another (with no payment information tied to it) for everything else is not a bad practice for anyone to follow.

    I want to reformat my external hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted ) but before formatting it, I want to make sure that if I loose the hard drive or the hard drive get stolen, no one will be able to retrieve or recover the information on it so could you tell me what kind of encryption will be used or is there any way to recover the information?
    Thanks!

    I think FileVault is used to encryp internal hard drive but I wanna encrypt an external hard drive with Mac OS Extended Journaled Encrypted which is completely different!

  • White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it?

    Help!!  I'm in Belize (not a good place to be with an Apple, as international as you may claim to be!) and my computer decided to "quit" thusly:
    White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it? (I do have my recently backed up data with me, but no loading discs for my computer.
    Hoping there is a solution,
    Diana

    The make of the disk doesn't really tell us how your data is being backed up onto that disk. Do you know what software it uses?
    For example Time Machine copies files every hour in a way that is not bootable, but you can extract those files & get all your data back into a working OS.
    Carbon Copy Cloner duplicates a disk in a way that is bootable - it would appear when holding alt at startup so you could use that to boot & inspect the state of the internal disk.
    It may also be Seagate's own software that does something different.
    Please try recovery mode, if that works you can try repairing the disk in Disk Utility.
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    If that works, select Disk Utility & see if the internal disk can be repaired in the first aid tab.
    Recovery mode can also download OS X & reinstall it, however you really need to know if the backup contains everything before that is attempted, otherwise you may lose data. The OS is also around 5GB so you may have issues if your internet is capped or unstable etc.
    P.S.
    I have no idea if this is helpful, but there may be help out there…?

  • Dont read this if you dont want to make money

    MAKE LOTS OF MONEY QUICKLY, GUARANTEED 100%, NO SCAM!
    Turn 6.00 into 42,000! This is true!!.... Read this carefully to find out how!!....
    READING THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
    I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing
    through newsgroups, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands
    of cash within weeks with only an initial investment of .00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this<br />
    must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading.
    Before you get skeptical, just take a few minutes to finish reading.
    HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
    WITH THIS PLAN, YOU REALLY CAN MAKE TONS OF TOTALLY LEGAL, FAST AND EASY CASH MONEY!! IT WORKS!!!
    BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT CAREFULLY FOR IT TO WORK CORRECTLY AND IN YOUR FAVOR!!!! WITH ALL
    THE MONEY YOU ARE GONNA MAKE, YOU WILL SOON GET EVERYTHING YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF!!!!
    ALL YOU DO IS...
    All you do is send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then
    place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at
    least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands.) No catch, that was it . So after thinking it over,
    and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, what have I got to
    lose except 6 stamps and 6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little
    worried about the legal aspects of it
    all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that
    it is indeed legal!
    AND THEN GUESS WHAT...
    Then I invested the measly 6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!!... Within 7 days, I started getting money
    just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about 25. By the end of the second week I had
    made a total of over 1,000! In the third week I had over 10,000 and it's still growing. This
    is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over 42000, and it's still coming in
    rapidly. It's certainly worth 6. and 6 stamps. By the way, I have spent more than that on the
    lottery in the last month!! Let me tell
    you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... also, make sure you print a copy of
    this article NOW, So you can get the information off of it, as you need it.
    SO LET'S GET STARTED AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
    STEP 1:
    Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on eash piece of paper, "PLEASE PUT MY<br />
    NAME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Also, be sure to include your name and address. Now, get 6 U.S.
    $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen
    through the envelope, to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes
    and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the
    above phrase, your name and address email
    , and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
    STEP 2 :
    Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
    #1 Randall Hines 22 Stature Dr. Newark DE 19713
    #2 Mike Sharrer 921 West State St. Coopersburg PA 18036
    #3 Travis Montgomery 2211 Elmers Lane Norfolk NE 68701
    #4 James Adair the third 22 Over Rd. Feasterville PA 19053
    #5 Michael Lescault 123 Rhode Island Ave. Pawtucket, RI. 02860
    #6 Michael Hendrock 106 S.academy St. Lodi, Ohio 44254
    STEP 3:
    Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5,
    5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
    STEP 4:
    Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible.
    If you do not live in the U.S. or there is a foreign address, you must put an international
    stamp on your envelopes. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. ( I think
    there are close to 24,000 groups in all.) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post,
    the more money you make!!
    DIRECTIONS FOR POSTING TO NEWSGROUP BULLETINS
    STEP 1: You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put you
    cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this letter. Then
    select 'copy' from the edit menu.
    This will copy the entire letter into the computer's temporary memory.
    STEP 2: Open a blank 'notepad' or word processor file and place your cursor at the top of the
    blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into
    notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
    STEP 3: Save your new notepad file as a *.txt file. If you want to do your postings in different
    sittings, you'll always have this file to fo back to.
    STEP 4: Use your Internet provider and search engines to find various newsgroups (on-line forums,
    message boards, chat sites, discussions).
    STEP 5: Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by higlighting the
    text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, and this will
    be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular
    group. Then click the post message button. You're done with your first one!
    Congratulations...
    THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the
    hang of it, it will only take about 30 seconds for each posting!!
    ** REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! ----BUT YOU HAVE
    TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**----- That's it!
    You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to
    rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
    you can invent a name to use , as long as the postal service will deliver it.
    JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT
    WITH 200 POSTINGS
    Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies ( a very low example). So then I made 5.00
    with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
    MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5, and only 5 persons repond to each of the original
    5, that is another 25. Then those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4, and only
    5 relies to each, and I will bring in an additional125! Now, those 125 persons turn around
    and post the MINIMUM 200 with my
    name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, and I will make an additional 625! OK, now here
    is the fun part... Each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2,
    and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me 3125!!! Those 3,125 persons will all
    deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1, and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups
    react, I will receive an amazing 15625!
    With an original investment of only 6! AMAZING!
    DO IT OVER AND OVER
    When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups,
    and send out another 6 to names on the list, putting your name at #6 again. Then start posting
    again. That's it! Do you realize that thousands of honest people just like you all over the
    world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everday? So can you afford 6 and
    see if it really works?? I think so..
    People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money?" So what!
    What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users who are joining
    the Internet and newsgroups everyday? So, are you willing to give it a try? Estimates are about
    20,000 to 50,000 new bulletin board users everyday, with thousands of those joining the Internet
    itself. ---Remember please play FAIRLY! This ensures a huge circle of wealth that grows with
    the Internet audience!!! Everyone
    benefits!!! Remember To Send The Six Envelopes To The Above Addresses, In Order To Create The
    Legal Service. At first I was scared to try this, but once I research it, I found that it is
    totally legal. When you send the six envelopes out, you create a service, a legal service.
    The Internet audience is expanding all the time. The audience is like an equity stock on the
    stock market, continuously going up. If you still think this is a fraud, take a few minutes
    to check it out, then.... you can start
    raking in the
    cash!!
    THIS CAN WORK IF WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER!!!!

    What a pile of dreck !
    ROTFLMAO

  • How can I make multiple quizzes within one Captivate project?

    Hi guys! Really liking Captivate 5.5, especially the way random question slides can lift questions out of a question pool...very elegant!
    Sadly though, I've come up against a bit of a wall. In my project, I want to have 3 separate quizzes that all use the same question pool; a 10, 30 and 50 question-long quiz. Each one needs to have its own results page.
    It's easy enough to see what I mean by looking at the screenshot below:
    The idea was to have about 105 slides in total, with slides 10 - 20 being the 10 quiz slide, 21 - 51 being the 30 question quiz and 52 - 102 being the 50 question quiz.
    There are three invisible buttons placed over those 10, 30, 50 text boxes. In the picture, the '10 question' button would jump to slide 10, the '30 question' button would jump to slide 21, and the '50 question' button would jump to slide 52, jumping the user to the start of their designated tests.
    Though I can create the 10 random question "block" easy enough, when it comes to adding the 30 question "block" it just adds the new random questions to the existing random questions. I want three separate quizzes, each with their own results screens please. (I don't want to daisy-chain to external projects, because the results of each test need to be used within the homepage.)
    It just adds them on to the existing block!! Argh!!
    Little bit ticked off with Adobe...the reason their products are so incredible is because they put no constraints on the user, and you can use their tools to create things even the developers never dreamed of. Like in Photoshop for example, I bet when the dropshadow fx was created, the developers never realised that it would be used to give a metallic 'stamped' look to text by turning it to white and applying it just inside the text.
    Captivate, though amazing most of the time, has a nasty habit of stomping on my toes. You can't set grade boundaries and have quizzes give out grades A+ to F- for example. You can only have 'pass' and 'fail', thus making it rather pointless for use in schools, contrary to how the program is advertised. Another example would be when I wanted to create a replay button. I thought that a button that jumped to the slide it was on would be a simple, no-BS replay button, but for some reason you can't make a button jump to its current slide. I downloaded a widget that worked in the end, but I wish Adobe would get off my back and let me do what I want!
    Anyway, if you could help me out here it would be grand

    I must say I have a little sympathy for the Captivate developers on this occasion.  As you say, they've created an application that does so much, that when you eventually run into a hard boundary of some kind, the effect is somewhat jarring.  However, every application, no matter how good, has limits.  I'm probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to asking the Adobe Captivate Development Team for enhancements (I think I've logged over 70 enhancement requests for Captivate 6 alone).
    In your case, you want to have three different quizzes in one project file, each with it's own separate Quiz Results page.  Lilybiri's blog explains how to set up your own faux Quiz Results pages using system variables and custom user variables, but you're going to find this to be quite a lot of trouble.  Even if YOU want to consider these as three separate quizzes, as far as Captivate is concerned they're just one big quiz with 50 questions.  So Captivate will calculate it's internal results based on a 50 question quiz, even if your users select the 10 question version.  So achieving a final Pass/Fail result is going to be problematic at best.
    As Lilybiri suggested, your better strategy would be to break this up into separate modules so that you can get your three separate quiz results (all done in standard Captivate) as well as correct results based on the actual number of questions done by the user.
    As far as grades A-F is concerned, there's nothing to stop you from using Advanced Actions and User Variables to calculate the user's score as a grade.  You need a user variable that stores the user's grade (e.g. var_Grade). And you need a fairly complex Conditional Advanced Action (e.g. caa_CalculateGrade) with several clauses each of which goes something like:
    If
    cpQuizInfoPointsscored is lesser or equal to [highest score for a particular grade]
    AND
    greater or equal to [lowest score for a particular grade]
    Actions
    Assign var_Grade with [the appropriate grade for that range of scores]
    Your conditional action will need one of these clauses for each separate grade.  Once your variable has been assigned a grade based on the user's score, you can display it in a text caption somewhere on the quiz results page or on a slide thereafter with suitable commendations/ commiserations.

  • Can I make a calendar that works like the "Birthday Calendar" that updates for something like an anniversary?

    I would like to have a calendar called Anniversaries that updates like Birthdays. Is there a way to do this? I like the way it shows the age of the person and would like it to show the number of anniversaries. This would be most helpful for many types of anniversaries. I have it now as a birthday but it is somewhat cumbersome and would seem to work better as a separate calendar.

    Here's what I've done which may work for others.  I've scrapped the idea of using the birthday reminders function.  Instead, I created a new calendar (click the settings icon in the upper right of the icloud website) called "Birthdays-Non Contact".  Then I entered the missing bdays as all day events (repeating every year) on this calendar.  So now all my birthdays show on my main calendar....some come from the birthday field in the contacts database and the rest come from my newly created "Birthdays-Non Contact" calendar events. 
    Interestingly, if I choose to show only my "Birthdays-Non Contact" calendar, all my contact birthdays appear on it as well, so it gives a complete list of all my birthdays and nothing else....cool.
    I should say, everything I'm talking about is what I see on the ICloud site.  My husband has the phone at the moment which I presume will show the same picture.

  • I want to build a drop down menu like the one featured here

    Hi there, I am wanting to build a drop down menu exactly like the one on this site (see college information button, top right)
    http://www.barnsley.ac.uk/index.php
    I have a lot of content, and really like the idea of hiding behind a button at the top, and when the user clicks on it it opens up and pushes the rest of the page down!
    Anyone know how?

    jQuery isn't a program as much as a collection of tools and effects built in JavaScript, a "framework".
    Here's a tutorial that will help you build what you're looking for:

  • HT1430 I tried to upgrade to ios 4 by plugging my Ipad into Itunes on my desktop.  I got an error report and now my Ipad won't work at all.  I can only get a screen with a plug and an arrow pointing to the Itunes logo.

    I tried to upgrade to ios4 by plugging my Ipad into Itunes on my desktop.  I got an error message as it was downloading.  Now my Ipad won't turn on at all.  All I get is a pic of the plug and an arrow pointing to the Itunes logo.  I tried to reset, but nothing works.  When I try to plug the Ipad into my desktop and access Itunes, my Ipad doesn't show up on the Itunes screen.

    You need to restore your iPad using recovery mode and the process is covered in this article.
