You aiming to switch from from a more toxic (Type II) personality (dubbed, “Covert Social Curiosity by Kashdan et.Wow! So the research suggests that greater curiosity brings along with it, greater professional, social and psychological success.* But all of these gains from having a healthy level of curiosity are subject to at least two actions on your part, including: Greater sensitivity to the feelings and concerns of others.More open-ness to inventive thinking and less defensiveness.More humorous, playful and adaptable dispositions and better adaptation to to stressful situations.Healthier, more positive social relationships.Greater success in attaining goals and in positive feelings from achieving them.Greater job satisfaction, engagement, work relationships and innovation.In a series of research papers, Kashdan and his co-authors have shown greater curiosity among subjects predicts, for example: Here are the implications of your raw curiosity type, based upon the research. But before jumping to conclusions, let’s examine the implications. It seems somewhat clear that raw curiosity types 1 through 3 are “positive” while type 4, the “Avoider” is both the least curious and least desirable. That will help you out personally if not professionally. You’ll probably never be a genuine Empathizer, but you might become a Problem Solver or actually learn to see challenges as learning opportunities and take joy from them. With some work, you might learn your toxicity is getting you nowhere, so you’ll emulate Type I’s. That’s largely because, even if you’re “curious” about what others are doing, as a Type II, you’re potentially a problematic colleague. From a curiosity point of view, you’re probably in the worst place. However, you’re also a bit anti-social and potentially catty, petty or critical of others. You hate uncertainty and you absolutely need have the right answers. The Avoider - You’re a Type II in Social Curiosity and you scored Low (1 or 2) on all the dimensions-and lowest on Stress Tolerance. You might or might not be the innovator, but you are certainly the “glue” that can get the team to stick together.Ĥ. This means you’re probably high in emotional intelligence and intuition and, socially, you’re in tune with what others want, need and are interested in-though curiosity about them is secondary. The Empathizer - You’re a Type I in Social Curiosity and you scored Medium (3 or 4) on the other questions. It all depends upon whether you’re toxic and Type IIs can be toxic!ģ. However, if you’re a Type II, some social interactions are a problem for you and that means you’re not necessarily the best innovator or team lead. Your the go-to person when it comes to making sure a challenging issue at work is resolved or being tackled. The Problem Solver - You’re a Type I or Type II in Social Curiosity (Question 5) and you scored high (5 or above) on Deprivation Sensitivity, but Medium (3 or 4) on the other questions. You could be a leader or a vital person to support the team lead.Ģ. Uncertainty doesn’t bother you and sometimes, you even thrive on it. You’re not overly self-centered, so you realize what's challenging to others and incorporate that in your search for answers. However, you also love exploring and tackling new challenges. You’re the type of person who simply loves knowing more about new people, new places and new things. ![]() The Fascinated - You’re a Type I in Social Curiosity (Question 5) and you scored high (5 or above) on all the other questions-particularly in Joyous Exploration. Thus, based on your scores, you fall into one of the following raw, curiosity types:ġ. That’s an important point: You can improve, and nothing here is meant to suggest you’re an incurably, incurious person! Your raw curiosity type is how curious you are right now, before you set to work on improving in the direction you’d like. Now, let’s figure out where you are on the curiosity scale in terms of what we’ll call, “raw curiosity type”. Ask them to answer the same questions in reference to you. Now send these questions to friends, colleagues or loved ones who knows you well. Are you a Type I or Type II? ( Social Curiosity type)ĭone? Make sure you write down your answers. ![]() A Type II loves a bit more gossip, wants to know what people are discussing and likes finding out about people behind the scenes. ![]() Question 5: A Type I loves asking other people lots of questions, finding out what they’re into and knowing what drives them. Now, for this next question, answer whether you’re a “Type I” or a “Type II”.

As some of the levels can take a while, that’s quite the tall order. There’s even a difficulty mode that doesn’t offer checkpoints. ![]() So, there’s some replay value here, especially for anyone that wants to get 100% completion. These are in hard-to-reach places, and doing well on these levels will take many players more than one try. Yes, it’s the bread from I Am Bread, still. If you want to unlock I Am Fish‘s bonus level, you’ll need to obtain not only 40 stars, but 40 of the game’s collectible: bread pieces. The piranha, on the other hand, obviously bites things. It controls like a plane, and you have to be quite careful with it. The flying fish is fun too, although its controls are a bit on the finicky side. I especially love the pufferfish, which rapidly rolls down slopes. As such, their levels all feel quite different from one another. The goldfish can’t do anything of note, but the piranha can bite things, the pufferfish can turn into a spiked ball, and the flying fish can glide. Three of the four fish have unique abilities that their levels are built around. You can either control the characters via yet another convoluted, tricky setup, or you can use a ‘normal’ style, wherein the analog stick or keys move the fish directly instead of having to carefully positions its tail. As for controls, I Am Fish can still be played like other Bossa Studios games, but there’s a choice now. On my AMD card, I had some crashes that shut my entire computer off on more than one occasion, further causing me to regret not buying Nvidia. The game runs quite well too, although it can be fairly demanding at times. Initially, you play as the goldfish for the first three levels before unlocking more for the other three. It’s a cute setup and the fish themselves are all adorable. ![]() But, missing their friends, they all decide to escape and meet back up in the ocean. Shortly after, the four are sold to new owners. They’re totally normal fish at first, but then the store owner inadvertently gives them some of the magic bread from I Am Bread and they become hyperintelligent. I Am Fish starts out with four fish living in a tank at a pet store. ![]() Between its wonderful visuals, fantastic art direction, tight controls, clever premise, and strong level design, it’s hard not to get swept up in its current. I Am Fish can be rage-inducing and questionably designed in spots, but it’s honestly a strong release. Would it be another trollish title, or is it a game that people could actually, y’know, enjoy? The answer is somewhere in between these two extremes. With I Am Fish, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I don’t always like them, mind you, but I appreciate them. I generally appreciate games made by Bossa Studios. ![]() The extension will start blinking orange, but is not muted. Set an extension offline (multicast command as well).

What’s Scholar Collars, you ask? I created collared dickies for those last-minute oh-my-God-I’m-still-wearing-pajamas Zoom meetings. This was a bit tough as the account I was using - Scholar Collars - was a silly fashion line I launched at the beginning of the pandemic.

Step 2: Growth SettingsĪfter signing up, Plixi asked me to set my growth settings. Essentially, they’re crawling Instagram and using machine learning to find and interact with like-minded accounts, engaging with them, and encouraging followers. Plixi’s home page bragged about having a “patent-pending” model. I used an old account that only had 51 Followers, so the only way to go was up! I linked my Instagram account and put in my credit card information. I started off by doing what you probably did to get here - I Googled “Instagram automation.” I landed on Plixi, one of the first advertised Instagram automation offerings on Google. Now that we’re on the same page with what “Instagram automation” means, we can get into the nitty-gritty. What happened when I tried Instagram automation We’ve listed a few of our favorite tools and software at the end of this piece. The legitimate tools we know and love don’t fall under this umbrella. In the context of this article, we’re discussing Instagram automation practices that are black-hat tactics. They do the groundwork for you, letting you focus on tactics that can authentically scale your social efforts, like creating content your followers want to see. ![]() Let me be crystal clear: There are excellent, legitimate Instagram automation tools and software out there. We tried that too, and it left us with an inflated follower count, zero engagement, and a long list of obviously fake followers. ![]() It’s in line with buying Instagram followers. Instagram automation is one of those pesky black-hat techniques, like engagement pods, which we tried and, spoiler alert, they failed. They want their real users to happily spend as much time as possible on the app, so they take black-hat social media tricks pretty seriously. It’s impersonal, and people tend to know when a bot is pretending to be a person, and people hate it.Īnd when people on Instagram hate something, Instagram tends to hate it too and bans quickly follow. This way, you’ll be building a following with real people by using a bot to do the work.īut, much like friends in real life, you can’t use a robot to foster relationships for you. The idea is that by engaging with other accounts, those accounts will turn around and engage with you. They interact with them using parameters you’ve set beforehand in a hopefully natural way. Then, those bots go out and find accounts they think you’ll like. Ideally, you train your bots to sound and act like you. To be clear, the kind of Instagram automation we’re discussing are bots that like posts, follow accounts, and comment on your behalf.

We recently purchased a new Epson scanner, the Perfection 850 Pro as our previous one wore out. At that time I had never heard of it, had just used the software that came with previous scanners. Included with that scanner was the SilverFast program. In 2003 we purchased an Epson 2450 scanner. John Gittens, professional photographer - As a lifelong but now retired Professional Photographer I have scanned many images though most in recent years. I can definitely recommend both, scanner and software, unconditionally. The reason being that I always had trouble with i1 and in SilverFast the IT8 calibration works automatically.

We’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to help you understand the water hammer effect more thoroughly, along with potential causes, solutions, and preventative measures you can take to combat water hammer. A water hammer, especially when left untreated, can cause damage ranging from minimal to dangerous. Loud, knocking sound in your pipes? Chances are you just heard the initial precursor to the water hammer effect. We’ll send one of our technicians to diagnose and fix your issue as quickly and efficiently as possible.Have you ever shut off your dishwasher, shower, or toilet and noticed a Treating that water hammer sound and the damage it may be causing is a win for you and your home’s plumbing. If you’re wondering how to stop banging in your water pipes, give Mike Diamond a call. Leaving small plumbing problems alone only leads to more significant plumbing problems down the line. They absorb and stop the shockwave created when water slams against closed valve walls, neutralizing it before it can reverberate through your pipes. Mechanical water shock arrestors do exactly what their name implies. They’re a device consisting of an air bladder and spring that you install around affected plumbing joints. Mechanical shock arrestors are the best solution to severe hydraulic shock problems when you can’t install an air chamber. Install mechanical water shock arrestors. ![]() A professional plumber can retrofit plumbing with pipe air chambers quickly and easily. It gives water and excess force a place to go when you close your valves. An air chamber is a short section of vertical pipe installed near potentially-problematic valves. If you install an alternate route for water to rebound after the valve closes, then that water won’t slam into the valve wall. The water slams against the pipe valves that just closed and creates a shockwave that travels back through the pipe. Water hammer happens when flowing water suddenly stops inside a pipe. This solution won’t fix extreme cases, but it will help prevent damage from mild cases. Tighten loose pipe straps or hangers, wrap segments of pipe in pipe insulation to act as shock absorbers, or install additional straps or hangers to secure your pipes at the stud or joist. Securing loose pipes is the easiest and most cost effective way to address the problem. If your pipes aren’t secured, even mild water hammer could force them to bang and shake. We’ll list the most commonly used and effective solutions. There are a number of ways you can fix water hammer and stop water pipes from banging every time you use your faucet. High water pressure can physically harm people who don’t expect a shower that’s too hot or too forceful. If your surge occurs because of high water pressure, it might also pose a physical risk. Worn out pipes may burst, start leaking, or detach from their connections. Water hammer damage can wear away at pipe joints and valves over time. If you’re unsure about your water pressure, a licensed plumber from Mike Diamond can help test and regulate it for you. You can determine if your water pressure is the cause by checking your water pressure gauge and adjusting it as needed. We’d like to note that sometimes water hammer happens for simple reasons such as high water pressure. ![]() Water hammer gets its name from the sound of water “hammering” into the valves and pipes. This sudden momentum change causes a shockwave that leads to water banging and shaking pipes. Water hammer is a pressure surge that occurs when a fluid is forced to stop or change direction at a fast pace. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about hammering pipes, the potential problems they can cause and how you can stop them in your home. Fortunately, we’ve since developed ways to deal with them. when Roman architect, Marcus Vitruvius Pollio noticed them in the public water system. Water hammer in pipes has been around since the first century B.C. ![]() When this happens, a shock wave goes through your pipes, causing them to move, shake, and bang together. Referred to in technical circles as hydraulic shock, water hammer is the result of water stopping or changing direction very quickly. Unfortunately, this sound, commonly referred to as “water hammer,” isn’t just annoying – it could damage your plumbing system. It’s not unusual to hear the metal pipes in your home plumbing make loud banging noises when an appliance draws water or you turn off a faucet.

There’s a huge number of vintage synth emulations out there, and it would be a bit misleading to say that any one is definitively the best of them. ![]() An exemplar of 21st century synth design, it remains nothing short of essential.Ī mammoth synth with no in-plugin tutorial It would be impossible to write a ‘best plugins’ list without a mention for Serum, though. ![]() NI’s Massive X, for example, is a deeper if less user-friendly instrument. In 2023, there are arguments to be made that other wavetable synths have overtaken Serum in terms of sheer power. And the sound? Think punchy, animated basses, scintillating modulated pads, searing leads and evocative FX. There’s so much good stuff here that it’s hard to know where to start, but the headlines include dual wavetable oscillators with a variety of blending and morphing styles, spectacular unison voicing, a full-on wavetable editor, a huge menu of filter types, an intuitive but supercharged modulation system, and a rack of ten stunning effects modules. Native Instruments’ Massive might have been the synth that made wavetable synthesis the de facto approach for modern electronic music, but Steve Duda’s Serum took Massive’s blueprint and ran with it, becoming the go-to for producers of EDM and bass music. In 2023 it still looms large over the plugin landscape, though. Xfer Records’ Serum has been around for almost a decade now, which makes it somewhat ‘vintage’ in plugin terms. If you’d rather not get bogged down in complex sound design, the synth also offers a broad array of highly usable presets and a stripped-back Play View, which enables you to adjust just the core elements of your chosen sound.Īrguably outstripped by some more recent wavetable synths There’s a lot to get your teeth into here, including a multitude of modulation tools and a vast array of effects. Pigments’ biggest selling point, though, is its balance of depth and approachability. This means that the virtual analogue elements are top-notch, evident in the meaty VA engines and an assortment of vintage filter emulations. Its multi-engine design enables users to mix and match a multitude of synthesis approaches, including virtual analogue, wavetable, additive, sampling and granular, in order to create hugely rich and complex sounds.Īrturia made its name emulating classic hardware with the V Collection, and much of what the French brand learned from doing so has been deployed in the development of Pigments. In terms of sheer bang for your buck, Arturia’s multi-faceted synth plugin is hard to beat. Some other synths go deeper into their specialist approach An absolute bargain given its sub-£50/$50 price point. It’s relatively affordable and accessible in its design, but there’s plenty of depth to get stuck into once you venture beyond the presets, making it suitable for beginners and advanced synthesists alike.įor those on a tighter budget, Cherry Audio’s Sines (opens in new tab) is a wonderfully characterful and unique synth that comes equipped with a wealth of inspiring presets. That being said, if your budget only stretches to a single synth plugin and you want something that will cover a lot of bases, Arturia Pigments (opens in new tab) is probably the best all-rounder out there right now. Trying to decide on one outright ‘ best synthesizer' is like trying to make a definitive call on what the best type of food is - there are so many fantastic choices out there, and much of what makes any of us prefer one over another comes down to personal taste. Typically, you’ll find banks of presets, too: pre-programmed sounds that can simply be loaded up and played or used as starting points for further editing and sound design. You can also program notes for it to play using your mouse, and each synth will come with its own set of controls for adjusting the sound. |
