For now, however, the visual tools appear to be illustrative only. Perhaps someday a court will rule that a meeting of the minds and mutual assent have been demonstrated with pictures and signs in a written contract. This raises a question: What if the words and the illustration do not match? Which takes precedence? It will be up to a court to determine how the ambiguity should be decided. The written contract word, as the expression of the parties’ bargain, is unlikely to be wholly replaced by images and pictures. Source: Royal Dutch Shell Replacing the Written Word Airbus and others are joined in similar efforts. In an effort to create stronger vendor relationships, simplify general terms, and avoid prolonged negotiations, Shell developed an illustration that clearly depicts the topic of delivery and risk of loss in a variety of product delivery methods, using colors and images. Some companies are at the forefront of the visual-contract initiative, and Shell Marine, a division of Royal Dutch Shell, is perhaps the most widely cited. And who can argue? How often do consumers and business partners simply ignore dense legal jargon, sign on the dotted line, and hope that things will work out? Contracts are written by lawyers for lawyers (and judges), the saying goes, not for regular people to read and understand. Standard contracts are more readily accepted by counterparties if they are clear, transparent, fair, and understandable. Easily understood contracts generate trust in the reader and confidence in the process. Understanding and Acceptanceīetter user experience and better perception by business partners lie at the heart of these recent efforts. They contend that plain language and user-friendly formats enhance trust and speed-to-completion in commercial negotiations. Some forward thinkers now believe that contracts can provide added value by adopting similar types of design change. Using pictures and signs, comprehensive directions are depicted in a language that, like music, can be understood by all audiences. Take, for example, the safety instructions in an airplane. Better design, plainer language, and more pictograms make the written transmission of ideas easier to digest.

He had claimed her as his daughter, in which she hesitated and called him father. When Leo insists on helping her take down Shredder, she deceives him, going to do it on her own, despite Splinter telling her not to do so.Īs a mutant, she has forgotten most things, since she nearly killed Splinter. She had admitted that she was raised to want revenge all her life-something that was hard to let go. Karai had never been heard to giggle or laugh happily before, but when watching the turtles train, she had done it a few times. She still has a flirtatious attitude, however. Even though she was raised to be cold and ruthless, Karai seemed to have controlled her temper slightly more. Now that she knew she was lied to, she claims that she has a personal vendetta against Shredder, and the rest of the Foot-notably Tiger Claw-though it is believed she feels the same to all other allies of the Shredder. When discovering the truth, Karai was shown to be quite cold and angered. Karai will do anything to impress her "father", even if that means going behind his back. Even if she has a great respect for her father, she will not be afraid to say what she wants. If they don't fight back, she will angrily insult them, but will remember to get her vengeance. If she sees one she truly hates, she will lose it and angrily attempt to kill them. She is also shown to have a fierce temper. When the turtles betrayed her and tried to kill Shredder, she was hurt that Leo did that to her and told him she was to kill him. She is protective of those she loves, and if they are threatened, she will want them dead. One time she was seen smiling as she gazed down at a picture of her mother, showing how much love and affection she has for her. Karai is barely ever seen truly happy as well. She is barely ever seen saddened or upset - only whenever her mother is mentioned or reminded on her death. She enjoys teasing and toying with the turtles, purposely aggravating them. Karai is a rebellious teenager, who is always looking for some fun. Personality " I'm not good at saying ‘thank you’."
Denon uses the same processing found in their high-end receivers to simulate a roomful of speakers in “Surround” mode. The sub adds powerful bass for explosive, realistic effects.

Simply upgrade to Level 10 and then ship it. This is where Scrap Metal is very useful. You needn't use good ingredients to make the upgrades. After making one or discarding one that you made previously in favour of a more powerful Weapon or Tool, ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU FORGE IT TO LEVEL 10 before you sling it into the Shipping Bin. Your Shipping List includes every Weapon and Tool. It is impossible to make good weapons if you do not have experience at the Forge. In any Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game, the best players always look ahead. As previously stated, once made successfully, the Recipe WILL be added to your Recipe Book. If, however, the Item you wish to craft is one that requires a low level of Experience and you have a high Level, there should be no problem in making the Item without having the Recipe in your Book. The ingredients were transformed into Scrap Metal, which made the entire business a waste of time, energy and materials. Without the other Recipes in her book, however, the RP required to forge the highest level of Fishing Rod, Hammer and Waterpot was double that of her maximum RP and thus, even with the proper ingredients, she met with failure again and again. With Forge Level 82 and a total RP of 1685, Freya had no trouble whatsoever forging the Blessed Hoe, the Legendary Sickle and the Miracle Axe, as she had found the Recipes for these on the mountain on which Leon Karnak was built. An example of this is the highest level of Farm Tools that can be crafted at the Forge. Note, however, that any item made without a Recipe, even if you know the ingredients that are required, will use far more RP than a comparable item made WITH the Recipe. Once you have made any Recipe successfully, it will be added to your Recipe Book. This is where a Recipes Guide can be very useful. If you have the required Experience Level for forging a Weapon, even if you do not have the Recipe in your Recipe Book, you can choose: 'Do not use Recipe' and then make the Weapon if you know what ingredients must be used to be successful. Even at Forge Level 79, you will not have ANY Gloves Recipes, for example, if you never made any Glove Recipes. You need to make that type of Weapon repeatedly in order to be able to learn new Recipes for it. This can be rather frustrating if you were saving those for something specific.Īlthough any Craft whether in the Kitchen or at the Forge depends upon Experience Level, eating Recipe Breads will add only certain types of Items to your Menus, especially where Weapons are concerned. In other words, even if you place the least valuable ingredients in each slot, if you make 2 of the item instead of 1, the second will take your BEST ingredients. You can make multiple items but a warning here: the default in every case will use the BEST ingredients or materials that you have. As with any Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game, a huge number of items miust be made, again and again, in order to make significant progress. Forge better weapons and equipment for the Character and give them as gifts (Choose Hold instead of Equip) to improve their usefulness as allies in battle.Īnother reason to equip your Allies is to advance your level of Experience at the Forge and Crafting Table. Usually the default with which he/she is armed at the start is not the best of its kind. It is only when you have made that invitation that the information will be added to the Character's Description.Įvery Character has a Weapon type of choice. Note, however, that you will NOT be able to see the Weapons/Accessories Menu if you never asked the Character to accompany you on an advanture. When you access the description for any Character, you can press the L Button to see that Character's Weapons, Armour and Accessories. One is for people and the other for Pets/Monsters. There is a Friendship/Love tab that has two different pages. When you press the Select Button, you will see many tabs at the top of the screen. Press the R button during any conversation to obtain the option, which begins with your Character saying, 'By the way.' (There are options to ask the individual for a date as well.) Each Character has his/her own weapon of choice. There are many differences between RF4 and prior games in the series but here are some that deal with weapons.īasically, whenever you talk to some one, even when that individual is officiating behind a counter in a shop, you have the option to ask him/her to accompany you on an adventure.

In this article, we discuss the best speech to text software available today in various categories of machine learning solutions. It allows you to type without your handsQ and use your voice to create documents. Fortunately, there exists technology by the name of speech to text software. However, physically transcribing audio recordings, personal notes, verbal brainstorming ideas, and other documents is a tedious and time-consuming task that severely impacts the level of brainpower you can apply to other activities. The quicker you can produce results, the more you can focus on improving the more strategic aspects of your work. In the workplace, efficiency is crucial for success. Noticing little had changed, he then hired computer forensics experts, who found that the errors were "not credible threats to a computer’s functionality." James Gross' action states specifically in the case of Registry Mechanic that his computer displayed "high priority" errors and that he paid the $29.99 fee to resolve the problems. Accordingly, consumers duped into purchasing software that does not function as advertised, and in fact, has very little (if any) utility." Furthermore, the scareware does not, and cannot, provide the benefits promised by Symantec. "Instead, Symantec intentionally designed its Scareware to invariably report, in an extremely ominous manner, that harmful errors, privacy risks, and other computer problems exist on the user’s PC, regardless of the real condition of the consumer’s computer. His complaint (made against Registry Mechanic and two other tools, Norton Utilities and Performance Toolkit) asserted that “The Scareware does not conduct any actual diagnostic testing on the computer.” The most famous case is probable that of Washington State man James Gross, who took legal action (ultimately defeated) against Symantec with regard to Registry Mechanic. Once the software has completed scanning your registry (which it can seem to do almost constantly), it will often inform you of issues – but tell you that there is a charge to fix them. With Registry Mechanic running on your PC (you might have installed it on the recommendation of a friend, bundled in with other apps or on the instruction of a website popup) you may notice a reduction in system performance. This as an impact of generating a code less optimized for speed and as a consequence less optimized for power consumption. This is obtained by selecting it with the gcc option -Os. The first simple option you have to use to reduce the code size is to tell the compiler to optimize your compilation for this. Memory region Used Size Region Size %age UsedįLASH: 149540 B 192 KB 76.06% Flash size optimizationīasically, the default settings on STM32 Cube IDE are good, most of the optimization are already set but we can get some more. You pass to the linker is an interesting one because it prints the result even if your code base or memory footprint is too large. There are some option to get a report during link step to have these information. Display the sizeīefore optimize something we need to see it. In this post I want to share what I found and how it helped me. In a recent project I was looking for some optimization I could apply on top of the basic existing settings to reduce the FLASH and RAM size. This suite is based on Eclipse and GCC and it works quite well. So I never could teach him how I did cube roots or explain how lucky I was that he happened to choose 1729.03.I’m using STM32 Cube IDE suite for STM32 development. So we're slower at basic arithmetic, but we know numbers.įurthermore, the whole idea of an approximate method was beyond him, even though a cubic root often cannot be computed exactly by any method. You don't have to memorize 9+7=16 you just know that when you add 9, you push a ten's bead up and pull a one's bead down. With the abacus, you don't have to memorize a lot of arithmetic combinations all you have to do is to learn to push the little beads up and down. I realized something: he doesn't know numbers. He picks up his abacus: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz "Oh yes," he says. I started to explain that it was an approximate method, and had to do with the percentage of error. "Tell me," he said, "how were you able to do that cube-root problem so fast?" So I was able to pull out a whole lot of digits that way.Ī few weeks later, the man came into the cocktail lounge of the hotel I was staying at. So all I had to do is find the fraction 1/1728, and multiply by 4 (divide by 3 and multiply by 12). The excess, 1.03 is only one part in nearly 2000, and I had learned in calculus that for small fractions, the cube root's excess is one-third of the number's excess. I happened to know that a cubic foot contains 1728 cubic inches, so the answer is a tiny bit more than 12. He was completely washed out, and left, humiliated. They tell the man, "Look! He does it only by thinking, and you need an abacus! He's got more digits!" He finally lifts his head to say, "12.01!" He buries himself again, grunting " Rrrrgrrrrmmmmmm. "More digits! More digits!" I know that in taking a cube root by arithmetic, each new digit is even more work that the one before. The man with the abacus wipes the sweat off his forehead: "Twelve!" he says. One of the waiters says, "What are you doing?". He starts working on it, mumbling and grumbling: " Mmmmmmagmmmmbrrr" he's working like a demon! He's poring away, doing this cube root. He writes down a number on some paper any old number and I still remember it: 1729.03. It must have been his topnotch exercise in abacus-land. It's hard to find a more difficult fundamental problem in arithmetic. Cube roots! He wants to do cube roots by arithmetic. " Raios cubicos!" he says with a vengeance. The bothered the hell out of the Japanese man, because he was apparently well trained on the abacus, and here he was almost beaten by this customer in a restaurant. What he didn't realize was, the harder the problem, the better chance I had. The man then made a mistake: he proposed we go on to division. He beat me again, but not by much, because I'm pretty good at products. However, the man got a little bit excited: he wanted to prove himself some more. I suggested that the waiter write down two identical lists of numbers and hand them to us at the same time. He beat me hollow, because while I was writing the numbers down, he was already adding them as he went along. The man asked a waiter to call out some numbers to add. I protested, "But I don't speak Portuguese well!" Why don't you go over and challenge the customer over there?" The waiters didn't want to lose face, so they said, "Yeah, yeah. He started to talk to the waiters, and challenged them: He said he could add numbers faster than any of them could do. I had seen him before, wandering around he was trying to sell abacuses. The setting is Brazil the narrator is Richard Feynman.Ī Japanese man came into the restaurant.
