![]() Anyhow I thought I'd keep this second question in here so other might benefit, but I still am still stumped by what I can't get high resultion time from time.time() which still only reports in hundredths of a second even on this newer version of python. Maybe that's just part of the learning curve. Looks like setitimer is not available with my version of python but how can I tell from the error message? Shouldn't it be saying the module has no method? Calling the missing method an attribute is pretty confusing. So I have to believe it is titmer itself that is having issues.Īha! I just figured out the problem by trying this on a VM with a newer version of python and it works just fine. Is it complaining that it can't find titimer OR is there something wrong with the attributes I'm passing? I was wondering if it couldn't resolve signal.ITIMER_REAL and so tried calling it with a 0 just to see what would happen and now it's telling me: python]#. (See the Unix man page signal(2).) titimer (which, seconds, interval) Sets given interval timer (one of signal.ITIMERREAL, signal.ITIMERVIRTUAL or signal.ITIMERPROF) specified by which to fire after seconds (float is accepted, different from alarm()) and after that every interval seconds. ![]() Today we have one single system call to catch all signals but that only appeared in version 4 of Unix and before that there were. For many reasons in fact, they’ve gone through many iterations of development and ideas. They were just a bit different from what we know today. Perhaps part my the problem is that as a new python user I'm still not 'one with python' and perhaps am not understanding what the error message it trying to tell me. Signals have been there since the very first version of Unix. titimer(signal.ITIMER_REAL, 2, 2)ĪttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setitimer' But when I make an exact copy of that example, I get this: python]#. In fact, according to this - python timer mystery it looks pretty easy to use. My second question has to do with setitimer, which according to the docs says it will deliver alarms and the time can be specified as a floating point number. The only thing is when I do this all I get as 2 significant digits and am wondering if I need to import something else or set something in my environment or what. Marketing (current) Powerpoint Pro V2 Presentation Maker. It is also possible to activate an interval timer so that it sends just. ![]() I did find answers this questions elsewhere to use using time.time() in python. The timers cause Unix signals (see Chapter 10) to be sent periodically to the process. I'm trying to get the current time as a high resolution number, something easily done with the Time::HiRes module in perl. This is a 2-part question and the first part is simple.

![]() While some of the dad apps lean toward masculinizing parenthood with lumberjack imagery (lol), ProDaddy offers articles and tips that focus more on equal parenting responsibility, like encouraging dads-to-be to get in on the baby shower, asking for and using paternity leave, and more. ![]() Why should expecting moms get all the pregnancy app goodness? While there are a few dad-centric pregnancy apps out there, ProDaddy is one of the highest-rated ones for good reason. ![]() Just remember-these are only supplementary to actual advice and insights from your doctor, mmk? But if you just want a place to track baby’s first kicks or look up weird cravings, these pregnancy apps can serve as day-to-day companions to some of the meaningful-and change-filled-months of your life. When in doubt, contacting your doc is always the best move. So use these apps to track your pregnancy symptoms or journal some mems, but don’t use them as an excuse to skip doctor’s appointments or avoid going in if something feels off. “The only medical advice you should take is from your doctor-not social forums and certainly not app developers,” says Daoud Yilmaz. No matter which app you choose, it’s important to note that these aren’t replacements for legitimate medical care. Nwegbo-Banks likes the Ovia app (#18 on our list) since it offers all of the above, plus info on what to expect each week. To help you stay organized (because pregnancy brain is real), Peace Nwegbo-Banks, MD, an ob-gyn at Serenity Women’s Health & Med Spa in Pearland, Texas, suggests looking for apps with features like a calendar for appointments and information on basic embryology, plus mood, food, and water intake tracking. Lastly, she says to avoid apps that try to sell you something (other than premium features on the app itself) like prenatal vitamins or baby products, and to steer clear of ones that claim to monitor fetal heart rate since they’re “rarely accurate.” Daoud Yilmaz also recommends looking for apps that give you trimester-specific information written by professionals-like doctors and midwives-with links to reputable medical sources online. These will give you the most accurate information regarding due dates, clinical guidelines, etc. She suggests apps made by reputable sources, like the ACOG (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) app (#1 on our list). "There are so many pregnancy apps out there, and the app overload is certainly real,” says Daoud Yilmaz. ![]() While it comes with full-on Google Assistant, the Lenovo Smart Clock 2’s display experience is a pared-down version of what you’ll find on Google Nest smart displays. Still, the Smart Clock 2’s more typical ambient light sensor did a fine job of dimming the display when the lights went down, and when the room went completely dark, the screen switched to a night mode with a dim clock face. ![]() Unsurprisingly, the Smart Clock 2 lacks the Ambient IQ feature on Google’s pricier Nest displays, which does a superb job of adjusting the color of the display according to the ambient light in the room. ![]() If you want to charge a second device at the same time, you can do so using the rear USB-A charging port. I was also able to remove my iPhone from the MagSafe charger without lifting the dock itself. Testing it with my iPhone 12 Pro, the handset snapped right into place and the screen displayed the MagSafe charging symbol, just as expected. To the right of the clock cradle is the Qi-compatible charging surface, which supports Apple’s MagSafe charging standard. The combination of the Smart Clock 2 and its optional charging dock has roughly the same footprint as the Google Nest Hub. ![]() On its own, the Smart Clock 2 is a compact device, but sitting in its charging dock, it has roughly the same footprint as the Google Nest Hub. A pair of rubberized feet on the bottom help keep the dock from sliding, while a cradle on top connects to the clock’s base using a series of pogo pins. The optional charging dock, meanwhile, is nearly twice as wide as the clock itself, measuring 8.65 x 3.26 x 0.96 inches (WxDxH). Also in back is a switch that mutes the microphone. In the rear is a barrel-shaped power port for the roughly five-foot power cord, which terminates in a chunky wall wart. Tactile volume buttons sit on the top of the Lenovo Smart Clock 2’s fabric-covered shell. It will still turn everything on and off… the non-voice controls are just a little bit naff.Available in Abyss Blue, Shadow Black, and Heather Gray flavors, the Lenovo Smart Clock 2 arrives with a cozy fabric covering, with volume up/down buttons on top. The only thing it’s not good for is your main control panel as it runs Google Things… and not the full version of Google Home. The Lenovo smart clock will turn completely off if you want it to until you say the wake word again. It also has a camera on it, which is the last thing you want in a bedroom. The Echo Show 5 is not good for the bedroom as it uses some kind of cheap TN panel, with a backlight that will light up your entire room at night, that you can’t turn off. The first time it will dim the screen to night mode… the second time, it will turn the screen completely off. That’s pretty much all it does… but it does it well.

The good news is that it’s a low stakes game. In many ways, For the Acquisition of Knowledge from the Dream World reminds me of the Shoebox Telephone, except that you’re not contacting someone else - you’re contacting yourself. Some people have some things lurking up there that you don’t really want getting out. One of the chairs is your “throne,” with the mirrors occupying the other chairs acting as your “queen” and your “fool” the idea is that if you have questions going into the whole thing, you’ll walk out with answers.Ī few warnings, though: One, just because it doesn’t claim to summon an actual spirit doesn’t mean nothing gets summoned two, from your perspective, you’re the king, but your queen and your fool have their own perspectives, too, and they might not think of themselves or you the way you yourself do (that’s why the name of the game is Three Kings) and three, even if all you’re doing is walking around in your own mind, that doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. It involves setting up a couple of chairs and two mirrors in a particular way and taking steps to put yourself in the right frame of mind for the experience. Instead, it’s probably best described as a meditative ritual. It’s more involved, for one thing also, the reason I like it is that it doesn’t say specifically that its goal is to summon any spirits or demons (because as much as I might want to believe in ghosts and other worldly beings, I don’t - I’ve just never experienced enough proof from a first hand perspective). ![]() I mean, sure, we’d all heard of Bloody Mary and what have you this one, though? This one is… special. I would argue that these days, Three Kings is the mirror game to end all mirror games ever since its appearance on the r/NoSleep subreddit four years ago and the subsequent creation of r/ThreeKings, mirror games have been de rigueur for digital natives in a way that I don’t think they really were previously. We worry that, if we break a mirror, we’ll be cursed with seven years of bad luck.Īnd we like to play games with them, largely, I think, because we have a deep-seated psychological need to tempt fate. We wonder if mirrors might actually be more like windows, or perhaps even doors, and if so, what they might let in (or out) - and whether we should cover them up in order to keep them closed. We’re fascinated by our reflections, and whether or not an exterior image might accurately show what a person is like inside - or not. Mirrors have long been associated with the otherworldly in superstition, folklore, and literature. ![]() To be fair, many of them are recent inventions, stories spun in order to shock and delight in the same way the urban legends we told each other as children were in that sense, they’re not steeped in lore or grounded in reality. Many of us grew up shutting ourselves in the bathroom with the lights off during sleepovers and chanting the name “Bloody Mary” into the mirror 13 times - but there’s a whole host of creepy mirror games out there that our pre-adolescent selves never even dreamed might exist. ![]() ![]() Processor: 2.0 GHz Intel i7 or equivalent Requires the "Windows Media Player", Windows N requires the 'Media Feature Pack' from Microsoft.

Richard John "Dick" Grayson / Robin / NightwingĪn orphaned child acrobat who originally served as Batman's first sidekick, Robin, and became Bruce Wayne's ward and later adopted son. It is also worth noting Batman is widely considered "the world's greatest detective", possessing superior skills in observation, critical thinking and problem-solving. In the DC Universe, Batman is viewed as an outlaw, but holds a high reputation with many people due to his status as a member of the Justice League. ![]() ![]() Recently, Wayne revealed to the public that he had been secretly funding Batman's activities for years (falling short of admitting that he is Batman) and would use a new corporation, Batman Incorporated, to take Batman and his mission worldwide. The "patriarch" and leader of the team, young Bruce Wayne witnessed the brutal murder of his parents as a child and used this trauma and his vast personal wealth to travel the world and acquire the skills needed to wage his war on crime. It has also been implied through Batman's history that this network serves as a surrogate family for Batman and keeps him from slipping too far into his ruthless vigilante persona. In a 2002 storyline in which Bruce Wayne is accused of murder, Batman's friends gather to prove his innocence. Most of the members also have a strong rapport with Batman. Although some members occasionally resent Batman's intrusion into their lives, all respect him as a legend within the superhero community and rarely dare to challenge his authority.

The group consists of similarly minded superheroes who operate in the Gotham City area and work towards achieving common goals.

They are generally masked vigilantes who either have been trained by Batman or operate in Gotham City with his tacit approval. The Bat-Family (sometimes referred to as the Gotham Knights) is the informal name for Batman's closest allies. He also has several love interests, including Catwoman, Talia al Ghul, Silver St. They are commonly referred to as Batman's rogues gallery and include the Joker, the Penguin, and the Riddler, among others. In addition, Batman has perhaps the most well known collection of adversaries in fiction. Others such as Jason Bard, Harold, Onyx, and Toyman work for him. Some of the other notable allies of Batman include his vigilante partner, Robin, introduced in 1940 his butler, Alfred Pennyworth, introduced in 1943 and Barbara Gordon introduced in 1967.īatman also forms strong bonds or close working relationships with other superheroes, including Justice League members Superman, Green Arrow, Zatanna and Wonder Woman as well as members of the Outsiders superhero team. The first Batman supporting character was Commissioner James Gordon, Batman's ally in the Gotham City Police Department, who first appeared in the same comic book as Batman in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939). Since the Bat-Family's introduction in 1939, Batman has accumulated a number of recognizable supporting characters.

Although the club’s darkrooms are used, you’ll likely see fornication in the bathrooms and even the queue for the ice cream bar (well, you need to cool down somehow!) The Main Room: Today it is open to all genders, and it is commonplace to see open engagements of sexual acts. A hallmark that is firmly in place today in Berghain.

Jimmy Wells was the beat cop that Bob had been talking to earlier, and he tipped off his colleague to allow him to move in and arrest his old friend. Then, the mood changes completely there is no more mystery, no more secrets. Indeed, the true nature of the relationship between Bob and the beat cop who strikes up a conversation with him won’t become clear until Bob and the man he wrongly thinks is his old pal Jimmy Wells walk past a drug store on the corner and are suddenly bathed in brilliant electric light. Yet there’s an air of mystery about the man as he stands in the doorway of a hardware store. This makes the lone figure of “Silky” Bob all the more conspicuous. It’s 10 o’clock at night on a damp, windswept street, and adding to the atmosphere of mystery, the street is eerily quiet, as the inclement weather has cleared the streets of people. Initially, the mood of the story is quite mysterious. Jimmy’s actions highlight his thoughtful character. Students read the passages, underline the words that help to create the mood, and then explain their answers. It will give students practice with interpreting and expressing literary mood. In this way, Bob will never have the memory of being arrested by a former treasured friend. Here is a double-sided mood worksheet with 9 problems. Instead of arresting his former friend, Jimmy sends someone else to do the job. Yet, we are touched by Jimmy’s words in the letter. Instead of having a nice reunion, Bob gets arrested. At the end of the story, the mood is reflective as well as tragic. We get the idea that something ominous is heading our officer’s way.Īnd we aren’t mistaken in our emotional reaction: Bob gets apprehended by a police officer masquerading as Jimmy Wells. In response, people look for shelter away from the elements. As the story progresses, we discover that the wind has picked up and the rain is now falling steadily. At the beginning of the story, we learn that a little wind and rain has contributed to the night chill. The mood changes in the middle of the story, however. The police officer is described as “strong and important.” He’s also a “fine-looking cop, watchful, guarding the peace.” The police officer (who we later learn is named Jimmy Wells) is a figure that inspires trust. Based on the diction, the writer has full confidence in the officer’s abilities. The writer introduces us to a police officer on his rounds. “Mood” also inspires an emotional reaction in readers, so it’s quite an important story-telling element.Īt the beginning of the story, the mood is pleasant, upbeat, and positive.

Simply putting on a pair of specially-tinted lenses is a much better option.ĭesigned by neuro-ophthalmology and optics researchers, Avulux lenses have a neutral tint that isn't created for the sake of color, but for clinical effectiveness. But this can adapt eyes to the dark and actually make them more light sensitive. Some light sensitive people tend to retreat to a dark room, keep the blinds closed, or even wear sunglasses to get some relief.
