A narrator and a modern mathematics teacher introduce and interpret what the scribes are doing, and eight mathematicians from different ages and cultures appear in cameo, giving their names for ‘the unknown’ in equation-solving, while the narrator explains the meaning of the terms involved. ![]() In the play, the problems are related to the cultural context of the time, and the methods include multiplication and division in the Egyptian style, algebraic manipulation and the rule of false position. The scene is set in a scribal school in ancient Egypt, with two scribes solving and recording solutions to problems based on those in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, dating from about 1800 BCE. We aimed to make the case and be inspirational too, by demonstrating theatre in action, involving as many participants as possible in the production and enactment of a short pre-scripted play, followed by discussion and feedback. This workshop provided an opportunity to experience and reflect on the ways that the devices of narrative, dialogue, drama and theatre can bring mathematical ideas and history to life in the classroom.

I decided to take a step back, import the story back into Scrivener, break it down into scenes again and do a “reverse outline” (a trick I frequently use, which is instead of making an outline you intend to turn into a story, take an existing story and reduce it down to an after-the-fact outline - a way of zooming out to take a wide view of your story). Where to cut, what to build up, how to restructure or resequence. ![]() I just couldn’t see clearly what it needed next. I started to feel discouraged about the story, even though I loved the main character and the dangerous female he encounters, and the strangers who cause them problems. ![]() DOC, and I’d been hacking away on that for countless hours. I had worked on the story in Scrivener for a long time, and eventually considered it close enough to a final draft that I moved it to a Word. I was having difficulty seeing what some of the scenes were about, and how to sharpen them, even though the overall arc of the story still made sense to me. I picked it up again recently, and realized it still needed… something. After a while, tired of worrying about this story, I set it aside and worked on other things. The early drafts were something like 12,000 words long, and the story itself didn’t really justify that kind of length, so I spent a ton of time cutting, re-writing, cutting, re-writing and eventually hacked it down to 5,000 words with all the magic gone. I’m trying to finish a story called “Secret Skin,” which I first drafted around the time I started writing again, almost two years ago. Posting yesterday about a couple of my writing tools got me thinking about how the right tool (in this case, Scrivener) can make the right creative choice easier, and thus increase the likelihood that you’ll make that right choice. Even if you don’t “win” you can use the “NaNoWriMo” code to get 20% off Scrivener, so why not give it a go? ![]() You can use this free trial version during November, then if you write a novel with it and “win” NaNoWriMo you’ll get 50% off the purchase of a Scrivener license. Here’s an even better reason: There’s a Scrivener “NaNoWriMo” trial download here. I often tell people who aren’t using Scrivener that they really SHOULD be using Scrivener. But this November, I’m standing out from the crowd by NOT writing a novel. It worked out OK, and I might try it again some time. Waaaay back in my twenties I tried this “write a novel in a hurry” thing a couple of times. That’s what the cool kids call National Novel Writing Month. If you troll around on Livejournal this week (a blog platform used only by fiction writers and Russian revolutionaries, these days) you might think every writer who’s writing anything at all is writing a novel. I’m going to go back and forth for a while and think about hos the process is affecting what I’m doing. I’ve seen other writers who say they always do first drafts by hand and then type them in, or they always re-type every new draft from a new, scratch document (rather than editing into an existing document). When I’ve come to some kind of better understanding about the what’s different about my writing or editing processes when I write by hand rather than when I type on a computer, I’ll post about it again. To my mind it’s similar to an artist stepping back from a painting to get a look at it from too far away to actually work on it. ![]() I still love Scrivener, and consider it my most important tool, but I’m shifting my stories in and out of Scrivener. Recently I work with pen and paper more and more. Lately I’m trying to get a handle on how to take advantage of these variances for different effects. It’s almost as if a different part of my brain engages. Whatever the reason, there’s a clear difference in my output.Įven more pronounced than this, though, is the difference between how I edit using a pen, compared to how I edit on the computer. Maybe because I write more slowly than I type, or maybe because the visual feedback is different, or the tactile experience. I write differently with pen and paper than I do with a computer.

Located on the outskirts of Stuttgart, Germany, the Eichenwalde map features the site where one of the famous battles during the Omnic Crisis has transpired. Photo Source: PlayOverwatch Youtube Channelīastion’s origin story is connected to the new Overwatch map to be released this September. Bastion complied and followed the bird, finding peace in nature. The little yellow bird then returns and convinces Bastion to turn back and return to the forest. It led the omnic to turn back to battle mode and march towards the city with his gun ready. Bastion connected himself to the omnic to gather data and saw a vision of the battle that happened years ago. ![]() After returning to normal, Bastion trudges onward and finds a broken omnic lying in a wide field. While walking through the forest, the omnic robot befriended the yellow bird and began to get curious “about the natural world.” However, the sound of a woodpecker caused him to turn into tank mode and blast everything around him. Bastion activated his system to know his location. Upon the bird tapping his head, Bastion awakens and finds himself alone and in the middle of nowhere. The film starts with a yellow bird finding a dormant Bastion in the forest, covered and foliage. The “Last Bastion” tells the origin story of no other than our favorite Omnic hero, Bastion.

Actually, high-quality screen and video capture will help you improve efficiency and optimize your recording content. That, plus the fact that OneNote is a super competent note-taker/word processor makes it definitely worth considering when it comes to choosing an app for taking notes in class or on the job. OneNote isn’t officially categorized as a recording app, but the app does offer audio and video recording directly into a notebook, making it a great choice for lectures or meetings. Rev Voice Recorder is a free app with all of the features that you would expect from a recording app, but one thing that makes it unique is that human transcription services are offered directly through the app, so for users who require an extra level of precision, Rev is able to offer something that the other apps in this list do not. This cross-platform app offers some interesting features that set it apart from the rest. ![]() ![]() Rev Voice Recorder (iOS, Android, PC) (new window) ![]() The app is free for the basic version, and $8.33 USD per month for the Pro version with advanced features, including the ability to import pre-recorded files.

We’ve tested it in the past, and the transcription is surprisingly accurate. Otter.ai is a great choice for recording meetings, as it simultaneously records and transcribes. While many users may not take advantage of all these features, more advanced users, as well as those with specific audio challenges will definitely appreciate what this app has to offer. The app offers a massive range of sharing and upload options, including direct-to-pc downloads, advanced importing and editing options, and even track effects such as Echo, Gain, Pitch & Speed, Reverb, Distortion, and Equalizer.

Voice Record Pro (iOS + Android) (new window) And while this app may not offer as many options as some of the other apps, Voice Memos still offers recording, editing, syncing, speed adjustments, sharing, and more.

But with so many choices being available, it might not always be easy to know which app is best suited for your needs, so today we are going to look at 5 apps that are worth considering when it comes to recording in-person meetings and lectures.

This being said, there are very few changes in the base game and Just Dance Unlimited is a much better option for most, would be, dancers. It works fine and the visuals and choreography are as good as ever. Just Dance 2021 is exactly what you expect from it. This stayed the same from 2020 to 2021 except the progress I had already made was not kept. Your profile has a level system where you can use a gacha machine (don’t worry, it uses in-game currency only) to unlock new profile icons, slogans, and others. The art style stays the same, choreography similar and even the moments in between songs feel the same. If you put on 2020 by accident, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. It doesn’t help that each year is just so formulaic. The new songs just aren’t good enough for that trade. Now you have to compare 40 news song to over 600 older ones. For the same price as a copy of Just Dance 2021, you can pick up last year’s version and a year of Just Dance Unlimited. Unfortunately, with this amount of songs on offer, it feels hard to justify yet another year with so many songs. This is over 600 songs and a great way of never needing to open up your old games again. For about half the price of the base game, you can get every game in Just Dance history for the year. Just Dance has a subscription service entitled “Just Dance Unlimited”. Unfortunately, this brings us to one of the biggest issues of a yearly release like this. This is part of the charm of each year’s tracklist. About ten of the songs most people knew, a few were known (and loved) by a few excited Kpop fans, there’s a pretty big Latin pop fanbase and the rest weren’t really talked about. The comments on the tracklist reveal sums it up far better than I can. Over the 41 tracks, it features a few very big hits, some lesser-known, and a few selected for a broader appeal. Just Dance 2021 certainly has a decent selection of tracks with the TikTok popular “Say So” by Doja Cat, Lizzo’s huge hit “Juice” to the more jovial songs like the aforementioned “Kulikitaka” or the classic “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Randy Newman. This moves us onto perhaps the most important thing about a new Just Dance title: its song list. This has always worked in its favour with a nice mix of actual dance moves and enough bears, pandas, walking smoothies, and whatever else to keep you somewhat entertained. It seems fairly clear from a single glance at Just Dance it attempts to prioritise a sense of fun rather than any serious attempt at dancing. Potentially, if you’re a coward or cheater, you could just mimic one arm and leave the rest but Just Dance is hardly a serious game. Like all Just Dance titles, dancing like the characters in front of you isn’t required to actually do well. It provides just enough weirdness through the likes of Toño Rosario’s “Kulikitaka” to draw a rather broad appeal to keep most members of a family rather happy. It draws a good balance by making easy tracks fun and hard tracks difficult enough to provide their own challenge. Choreography is as strong as it always has been with the easier tracks providing just enough fun so as to not feel too boring. It is painted with bright colours and distinct from the rest of the dancer, so as to guide you. Dancers have a clearly defined left hand that you are supposed to copy. Performing dances has you grab a Jo圜on with one hand and mimic away. They aren’t a person so much as a tutorial on how to perform certain dances. So as not to make them feel out of place, they are cartoonified with only specific face features like glasses or hair shown to the viewer. In each of these songs, there are a few dancers at the forefront with realistic body proportions and movements, presumably recorded with a green screen. There’s a certain brightness to every inch of Just Dance with the heavy use of pinks, whites, and blues. All of these have a distinct style that ties songs together. The likes of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s “Rain On Me” has an almost retro-futuristic style with tons of dancers in the background, all clad in sci-fi gear, whereas the likes of Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” has a fairly simplistic disco theming. Each song has a concept behind it with unique ideas and choreographed dances. ![]() Just Dance has a pretty addictive formula in place. This is, more or less, exactly what you would expect it to be. Just Dance 2021’s only main difference is not appearing at E3. ![]() It’s sort of tucked away in the background for most of the year, shown out in an awkward display at E3 and – like clockwork – released in the last few months of the year.
