“Loving you was like going to war I never came back the same.” - Warsan Shireħ. Sometimes I think it would be better if we died when they did, but we don't.” ― Stephen King, Hearts in AtlantisĦ. “I have not broken your heart-you have broken it and in breaking it, you have broken mine.” -Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heightsĥ. “The most terrible thing about it is not that it breaks one’s heart-hearts are made to be broken-but that it turns one’s heart to stone.” -Oscar Wilde, De ProfundisĤ. I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here, 'cause I remember it all, all, all too well.” -Taylor Swift “All Too Well”ģ. “And you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.” ―L. You break your heart, it hurts.”Īs she wraps up the audiobook recording of Heartbroken and mulls a new memoir, Pratt says she is grateful to the King’s MFA for helping her find “a whole different writing voice… It just nudged me into a whole different world. It’s not metaphoric… You stub your toe, it hurts. So, in fact, you can die from heartbreak. The discovery that our emotional pain follows the same neural pathways as our physical pain. Pratt says, “The science was what shocked me most. In the end, Heartbroken explores the literature, philosophy, and science of heartbreak. And so I started to shy away from making the focus too much on me.” After a conversation with an agent during the New York residency, she realized “the value of this book would be writing about the experience of heartbreak, not my experience of heartbreak-although of course that’s the thread that takes us through.” “Who the hell cares about me and my breakup?” Pratt says. “But I still wanted people to be able to take comfort from it, and to find solace in it by hearing my story and understanding that they’re not alone.”Īs Pratt worked with mentors Jane Silcott and Harry Thurston, the vision of the book shifted, becoming broader. “I did not want it to be ‘how to get over somebody,’ you know, like scented candles and a warm bath,” Pratt says. Her intention was to write a memoir-a book that could be helpful, without being self-help. After talking to Moncrieff, “I got it in my head, and I decided I could make something good out of something terrible-that I could write the story of it,” Pratt says. Then she ran into King’s MFA grad Helena Moncrieff (2016) at the library (they live in the same Toronto neighbourhood), and Moncrieff encouraged her to consider the creative nonfiction program.Ī longtime magazine journalist and book editor, Pratt has ghostwritten business books, done reams of service journalism (“the kinds of stories with the little icon of the scissors with the dotted line, like you might want to cut this out and put it on your fridge”) and published a memoir that, nearly 20 years later, she dismisses as a “pretty clunky early-in-my-career kind of book.”īut as a busy freelancer, it was hard to carve out time to work on a project like Heartbroken. “I guess you could say the book is the lemonade I made from the lemons of my breakup,” Pratt says.Īfter being dumped, Pratt wanted to write about her heartbreak, and took a memoir course in which she began to develop the idea. On January 28, 2014, Laura Pratt’s (2020) partner of six years ended their relationship out of the blue, at a train station, and “took his furious leave.” Nine years to the month later, her book Heartbroken: Field Notes on a Constant Condition is being published by Penguin Random House Canada.

Jim Murphy, is not only a legendary skateboarder who rode for Zorlac, Alva, Toxic and Shut, but he is also the founder of Wounded Knee Skateboards and the Skateboard Programs Director for the Stronghold Society, as well as being the Skate Editor of Juice Magazine. His creativity has not only been seen by George Powell, but by everyone he has come in contact with around the world, constantly inspiring everyone’s imagination when it comes to skateboarding. Andy reps Powell Peralta as well as his Mind Control helmets and wears his jean vest covered in patches in honor of his longtime shop sponsor, PD at Skull Skates, representing the hardcore scene and attitude in Vancouver. With massive respect for skateboarding history, he will always tip his hat to skateboarders like Bill Danforth, Stacy Peralta, Grant Taylor and Rodney Mullen, as well as Canadian heavies like Colin McKay, Ryan Decenzo, Kevin Harris, and his first skate sponsor, Hippie Mike, and his Red Dragons mentor, Sean Hayes. We think he looks for more things that haven’t been on a skateboard, so he can do them on vert, street or freestyle with no holds barred. Andy knows no bounds in his skateboarding abilities and his outlook on what can be done on a skateboard. He’s as passionate about freestyle as he is vert and he rips both. For the first time in history, skateboarding is in the Olympics. In order to commemorate the occasion, skateboarding icon, Jim Murphy interviewed Skateboarding Olympian, Andy Anderson.Īndy’s individuality and unique outlook on skateboarding all around, drew George Powell’s attention as someone whose expression needs to be seen and heard. Then, each year the reality of a middle school classroom set in…lost papers…question after question…confused and unprepared students. We simply just told them to stay organized and make sure to keep track of our important assignments and notes that were completed in class (because surely they would know what was important, right?) By giving our students choice, we would ultimately empower them to become more independent in the learning process. In addition to bringing the obvious supplies such as a pencil and paper, we gave our students the option to bring a binder, spiral notebook, folder, or whatever they felt worked best for them. During our first few years as teachers, we thought we would be those “cool” teachers who allowed students to decide what they wanted to bring in order to be prepared for our class. As a husband and wife who both taught science, we obviously bounced a lot of our classroom ideas off of each other. It actually increased the effectiveness of our lessons and helped our classrooms run much more efficiently. We quickly realized that this process did not take as long as we thought. We were extremely hesitant to give them a try because, well…if we’re being completely honest, we felt that all of the cutting and gluing was such a waste of our valuable classroom time. However, we’re the first to admit that it took us quite a while to jump on the interactive notebook bandwagon. They are a powerful tool to help students compartmentalize important science content through the use of guided notes with pre-made templates. Interactive notebooks are widely used in science classrooms all over the nation.

The skill progression reduces the penalty to mobility, blunt damage to parts covered by the armor, and wear of armor when repairing. The skill progression reduces the penalty to mobility, wear of armor when repairing, and damage from melee weapons when struck in the armor. For other items with durability points it is Intelligence. For weapons it is Weapon Maintenance, for armor it is Light Armor and Heavy Armor. Now the value of the removed max durability of an item when repairing via repair kits depends on the corresponding skill. The Intelligence skill now affects the amount of repair points that will be spent on repairs The enhancement and its value affect the value of the item - the selling price, insurance, Flea Market fee The enhancement is effective within a certain range of the item's technical condition (or armor points) and will be removed in case of another repair The first is a decrease in malfunction chance, and the second is an accuracy increase Weapons can have two kinds of enhancements at the same time.

The server maintenance for Escape From Tarkov is expected to end at 7:30 am ET/12:30 pm UTC, but the downtime might be extended if developers need more time to implement the new changes to the servers. Also, you can expect some improvements and reworks to the sound mechanics as well as dozens of bug fixes. Nvidia users already had access to DLSS in the game. Technical-wise, patch 0.13 will add FSR 2.1 support to Escape From Tarkov for players using an AMD graphics card.

Welcome to the Administrative Office of the Pennsylvania Courts' (AOPC) eCommerce Website. To get access to my most used folders quickly, I've created workflows which just open that folder: Open Common Folders #Įventhough Alfred comes with a backed in file browser, I often still use good old Finder.app. They are quite simple but save me a couple of seconds every day. So first I would like to show you some of my own workflows. "Search and play Spotify playlists" however is quite complex and needs a lot of scripting work. For example "search this folder for that file type and open the file in that app" is quite easy to accomplish. They can wary between very simple and very complex. You define the event that triggers the workflow (a hotkey, a snippet, a file action), define its input (keyword, file filter) and then take action it (open a file, run a search or run a script). Workflows allow you to write basic programs with a drag and drop editor. Next let's cover the most famous and powerful feature of Alfred: Workflows.
To view the saved copy, double-click the item or the snapshot in Zotero.ĭouble-clicking a Web Page item without a snapshot in your library will take you to the original webpage. You can also save a snapshot with this setting disabled by right-clicking (click-and-hold in Safari) on the Zotero save button and choosing the relvant option. If “Automatically take snapshots when creating items from web pages” is enabled in the General tab of the Zotero preferences, a copy (or snapshot) of the webpage will be saved to your computer and added as a child item. If the page does have a recognized translator, you can force Zotero to save a Web Page item instead by right-clicking (click-and-hold in Safari) on the Zotero save button and choosing “Save to Zotero (Web Page with/without Snapshot)” If the page isn't recognized by a translator, you'll see the gray webpage icon. With Zotero, you can create an item from any webpage by clicking the save button in the browser toolbar. If all else fails, you can click Manual Entry in the Create Parent Item window to enter metadata manually. Alternatively, if you have a DOI, ISBN, or other identifier, you can right-click on the attachment item, choose Create Parent Item, and enter the identifier to retrieve metadata. If you can find a source for metadata online, you can save a regular bibliographic item using the Save to Zotero button and drag the attachment item onto the new item. If Zotero isn't able to retrieve metadata for the PDF, you'll be left with just the standalone attachment. For other documents, while Zotero can sometimes extract basic information (title, author), you shouldn't expect that - anything can be distributed as a PDF, but that doesn’t mean there’s any standard metadata available for it. This should work well for most academic PDFs (though it may sometimes yield lower-quality metadata than using the Save to Zotero button on the article page). When you add a PDF directly, Zotero will initially save it as a standalone attachment and then automatically attempt to retrieve metadata for it and create a parent item. Standalone attachments can't have bibliographic metadata or child notes, so in most cases you'll want to convert them to child items under regular parent items. You can also add an attachment to an existing item by clicking the paperclip button in the Zotero toolbar and selecting “Attach Stored Copy of File…” or “Attach Link to File…”, or you can add a standalone attachment by clicking the green plus sign ( ) and choosing “Store Copy of File…” or “Link to File…”.Īttachments can be either child items or standalone attachments. If you have a local PDF or other file on your computer - for example, if you received a file via email - you can drag it to Zotero, either onto an existing item to create a child attachment or between items to create a standalone attachment. If there's no primary webpage, you can click the Save to Zotero button while viewing the PDF in your browser to save the PDF directly. The Save to Zotero button will usually save high-quality metadata and also automatically download the relevant PDF if you have access to it. If a website isn't importing properly, please report it on the Zotero Forums and provide the webpage URL.Īs explained above, when possible, we recommend saving items using the Save to Zotero button in your browser from the primary webpage (e.g, a journal article's abstract page) rather than adding PDFs directly. You can choose an alternative translator by right-clicking on the Zotero save button (or the page background in Safari) and choosing one of the supplied options. Zotero will generally choose the best translator available for each site automatically. For example, importing an item from the publisher website will generally yield much better data than importing from Google Scholar. Metadata for the same item may vary in quality across sites providing it. (For more information, see our compatible websites list.) By default, translator updates are automatically installed, independent of Zotero updates. Zotero recognizes almost all library catalogs, most news sites, research databases and scientific publishers. For many sites, Zotero has website-specific “translators” to obtain the best quality metadata. Other websites provide only limited metadata (e.g., only the title of a blog post) or no metadata at all. Some websites provide very high-quality data using a standard way to provide Zotero with data (via embedded metadata). The quality of the data Zotero imports is determined by the information supplied on the webpage. |
