![]() In addition, it controls eye movement and processes auditory, visual information, and eye movement. It plays a key role in controlling voluntary motor function and transferring messages. The midbrain consists of the tegmentum and the tectum, located in the mouth of the brain stem. The brain stem comprises parts of the midbrain, pons, and medulla, all of which have specific functions. Functions of this area include sneezing, vomiting, swallowing, and movement of the eyes and mouth. In addition, the brain stem coordinates the fine movement of the face and limbs. Brain stem works together to regulate essential life functions, including body temperature, breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure. The brain stem is the posterior part of the brain that connects the brain with the spinal cord. The function of the cerebellum also includes maintaining posture, equilibrium, body balance, and even speech. It can help coordinate the movement of body muscles, especially the fine movement of hands and feet. Just like the cerebrum, the cerebellum has two equal hemispheres and a wrinkly surface.Īlthough the cerebellum is small, it contains numerous neurons. It sits just below the occipital lobes and on top of the pons. The cerebellum, also known as the little brain, is located in the back of the brain. This lobe also helps you understand oral language, general process knowledge and stores your verbal and visual memory. For example, your temporal lobe allows you to focus on one voice at a loud party. Your temporal lobe sits close to your ears and is associated with interpreting and translating auditory stimuli. It also controls our ability to interprets body language like facial expressions, gestures, and body postures. This lobe is responsible for our visual awareness, including visual attention, optical recognition, and spatial awareness. The occipital lobe is located at the rear of our brain. The parietal lobe also relays sensory information from different parts of the body, helps us process and learn a language, and maintains the body’s positioning and movement. This lobe manages our complex behaviors, including the 5 senses: touch, vision, and spatial awareness. The parietal lobe lies at the upper rear of our brain. The frontal lobe rests just below the forehead and controls our reasoning, organizing, our ability to speak, solve problems, pay attention, and our emotions. While the left hemisphere (logical side) controls language and speech, the right hemisphere (creative side) is responsible for translating visual information.Īccording to the function, the cerebrum is further divided into 4 different lobes: frontal lobes, parietal lobes, temporal lobes, and occipital lobes. It can also be divided into 2 parts: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere.Īlthough the hemispheres look identical, the left and right hemispheres have particular functions. It has a rough surface (cerebral cortex) with gyri and sulci. The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain. ![]() ![]() The brain is made up of 3 essential parts: Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Brainstem. Parts of the Brain: Structures and Their Functions

![]() , I’m quite happy with the development tools (Expression Blend & Visual Studio), I love the prototyping capabilities that SketchFlow brings to the table and so much more. Well, I’ve talked about it before, but specifically I love the data binding capabilities, I’ll come back to that… why do I love Silverlight. ![]() I don’t have much against HTML5 but what I’m not a fan of us the development and architecture experience. OK, time to flip ’em and toss my cards down on the table: I love Silverlight & I can’t stand JavaScript. Now let me transition over and talk a little about why I still like Silverlight over HTML5 & my take on where they fit in the picture for us. What I thinks is somewhat interesting and misguided are all the people who are saying Silverlight is dead compared to HTML5. You are free to disagree but I don’t think I’m sticking my head in the sand with this point and acting like an old guy saying “ Why do we need something new, I all this old stuff we have works great!” I’m still happy with Silverlight and plan to keep building with it. ![]() ) to clients and has been used for some major events like the United States Presidential Inauguration in 2009, NCAA March Madness & the Olympics to name just three.

It has incredibly strong development tools in Visual Studi0 2010 & Expression Blend. When is a technology dead? It’s when people stop using it, when you lose critical mass and when you don’t have support for it. Personally don’t think Silverlight is dead and will be around for quite some time. Shawn Wildermuth - Win8, Metro Apps & Silverlight.Laurent Bugnion - My Thoughts about BUILD, Windows 8, WinRT, XAML & Silverlight.Doug Seven - A Bad Picture is Worth a Thousand Long Discussions.There are some great posts on the subject by some leading Silverlight folks out there… I suggest you read them: For me, and from the more Silverlight-in-the-know people that are out there, it seems the consensus is that it isn’t dead. Who knows I’m a fan of Silverlight and loves coming to me and saying “ Silverlight is dead mother f-er!” I don’t get the best vibe from people within Microsoft who seem to think Silverlight is a new 4-letter word which is quite disappointing. So many people seem to think the cool thing is to say Silverlight is dead. Some things are still a bit unclear to me. You’ve got developers, Microsoft’s biggest proponent, being left out in the cold with customers asking “should we do this project on Silverlight?” I wish someone would have stood up and rebutted all the rumors. But with this issue, talk about one of the absolutely worst handled things ever. ![]() Microsoft usually does a fantastic job on marketing their products. Personally I was very frustrated as I wanted instant news, but I decided to hold back my thoughts until I felt like I had a better grasp on what was going on. Everyone was confused and started calling for “the end is near” with Silverlight only to have Microsoft say throughout the summer of 2011 “just wait until the BUILD conference, it will all make sense.” Then only to have virtually the phrase “Silverlight” to get almost zero play and talk about WinRT and Metro apps. Less clear direction from those involved in the development of Silverlight & the tools Little statement by a Microsoft executive I had this post brewing many months ago, back when Silverlight’s future was bright and adoption was great. Earlier in this assignment I stated the members of theeukaryotic cell family, “but the two remaining domains of life, the Eubacteria (also called simplyBacteria) and Archea, contain thousands of species in which each individual is made up of asingle prokaryotic cell lacking a cell nucleus”. “Incontrast, in prokaryotic cells the DNA is loose in the cell’s interior and not separated from therest of the cell’s contents by a membrane”. “Eukaryotes are the organisms whose cells areorganized into complex structures by internal membranes and a cytoskeleton”.Prokaryotic cells, “an organism made up of a prokaryotic cell is called a prokaryote”. “But so are all the members of the animal and plant kingdoms, the mushroomsand other fungi, and the algae and other protists”. “Human cells are eukaryotic and so we as humans are eukaryotes, belonging to thedomain Eucarya”. ![]() “An organism made up of one or more eukaryotic cell is called aeukaryote”. “A typical plant cell (also a eukaryote) is a bit largerat about 35 um across”. “An average sized animal cell could be linedup across the thickness of a sheet of paper”. ![]() ![]() “Because theyhouse nuclei and other compartments or organelles that perform specific tasks, eukaryotic cells Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells2are generally much larger than prokaryotic cells”.

![]() However, Dominic is offered his dream job as the lead chef of a restaurant in Las Vegas. Lauren is offered her dream job the COO of a major business firm out in New York. And after the movie, when come to find out he knocked her up, he just accepts it. In one problem, Jeremy finds it difficult to come to terms with the fact that his long term girlfriend – or wife, as they never really explain that part – wants to have a child. However, the even worse than the film being a cheap rehash of the previous installment, there was absolutely no satisfactory resolution to any of the conflicts. Dominic and Lauren are still dealing with their careers pulling them in opposite directions. Jeremy and Kristen are still dealing with him being afraid of commitment and her being too demanding. Here, every issue that was presented to the couples in the previous film are still present here. A good sequel takes all of the previous development, both plot and character, from the previous film and continues it as new troubles are presented to the protagonist. As time passes and shenanigans ensue, the couples must learn to overcome these issues and either grow together or grow apart.Īlthough the film is a sequel to 2012’s Think Like A Man in title, it certainly isn’t in spirit. However, their luggage isn’t the only baggage that managed to find its way to Las Vegas with them as nearly each of the respective couples bring their own share of problems. They have decided to get married in Las Vegas, and they have brought along their friends. The plot of the movie centers on Michael and Candace, played by Terrence Jenkins and Regina Hall. To avoid them, skip the fourth paragraph of this review! Although it is typically frowned upon, in order to properly convey the level to which this movie failed to tell a story, it has become necessary. Warning: this review will contain a few spoilers. Perhaps director Tim Story should have taken this into consideration before inundating movie goers with a virtually endless barrage of them to create the most superficial and obvious cash-in in recent memory: Think Like A Man Too. Additionally, NBC gave a series order to Taken, Fox has a Lethal Weapon and Behind Enemy Lines series in the works, CBS is developing Training Day, and the CW has The Notebook.There is nothing wrong with clichés in a movie if they’re used properly and, more importantly, sparingly. Think Like A Man is the latest movie remake in the works this TV development season, joining two other projects from Sony TV: My Best Friend’s Wedding at ABC and In The Line Of Fire at NBC. Additionally, Harvey is producing with Ellen DeGeneres the upcoming NBC comedy/variety show Little Big Shots. Harvey hosts a syndicated daytime talk show, game shows Family Feud and its offshoot Celebrity Family Feud and a nationally syndicated morning radio show. Packer’s development slate also includes comedy Bonita & Mechelle, with Eva Longoria producing, and drama Buckhead, both at NBC. Think Like A Man falls outside of Packer’s overall deal at Universal TV, under which Will Packer Prods is shepherding two series: Truth Be Told at NBC and the upcoming Uncle Buck at ABC. They are repped by APA, Writ Large and attorney Mitch Smelkinson. They are writing the remake of the hit Spanish-language comedy Instructions Not Included for Lionsgate and have been working on a production polish for CBS Films’ The Ex Games, which Andy Fickman will direct. In addition to the the two Think Like A Man features, Merryman and Newman wrote Friends With Benefits for Screen Gems. Here is a trailer for the original movie: Henson, Romany Malco and Gabrielle Union. It spawned the 2014 sequel Think Like A Man Too, with the original ensemble cast returning including Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Kevin Hart, Terrence J, Taraji P. Think Like A Man was a box office breakout, opening with $34 million in 2012 en route to a $91.5 million haul in North America on a $12.5 million budget. Featuring both the male and female perspectives, our couples and their friends will realize that it’s easy to fall in love and “be” in love but not necessarily stay in love. Screen Gems’ sibling Sony Pictures Television is the studio, producing alongside East 112th Street and Endemol Shine Studios where Harvey’s company recently inked an overall deal.īased on the movie franchise and Harvey’s book, the Think Like A Man series explores the never-ending battle of the sexes from four very different points of view: newly married, moving in, breaking up and hooking up. ![]() The program works by first analyzing your system and then running the cleaner itself. We started with the Cleaner first, which breaks down your cleaning options into two tabs: Windows and Applications. Its four features - Cleaner, Registry, Tools, and Options - are prominently displayed on the left side of the window. CCleaner is one of the better ones for its ease of use and powerful cleaning capabilities.ĬCleaner's simple and intuitive layout will appeal to users of all skill levels. Thankfully, there are myriad freeware cleaners out there that help keep your system in check. Some of these trackers are useful, while others can be potentially intrusive. After that, Microsoft will resume with its aforementioned strategy.Nowadays, cookies, temporary files, and various other means of tracking your Web footprint are par for the course. Microsoft has decided that the feature drop rolling out in November (with Tabbed File Explorer) is going to be considered part of the 22H2 update and not a separate entity, which means this set of features won't be off by default for Enterprise/Education customers. By the time of the next annual feature update, these new features will be turned on automatically. Microsoft officials said they will be publishing documentation about these features and publicizing their arrival dates ahead of time. ![]() ![]() Administrators will be able to create a Group Policy/Mobile Device Management policy that allows users to turn on these features as a set (not individually). These interim feature updates will ship off by default for those running Enterprise and Education. If you are a Windows 11 Enterprise or Education customer with organization-managed devices - or a domain-joined Windows Pro user - and you want more control of when to get these updates, you are in luck.

Several archetypal stories are affiliated with the Grim Reaper due to their Death-status. ![]() Due to this several culture's variants of the Grim Reaper are expressly female or at-the-least feminine leaning. French, Spanish) the concept of Death is expressly female. British-influenced cultures tend to portray the Reaper as being male or devoid of gender or sex but in languages with grammatical gender (E.G. The Grim Reaper is a near universal representation of demise and is found in a wide variety of different cultures with many different names. Due to this the Reaper is often portrayed as having a Pale Horse. Although the figure is generally devoid of religious ties the Reaper is often affiliated with the Horseman of Death from the Abrahamic faith, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The Grim Reaper embodied the concept of the living being like wheat which the Reaper harvests when they grow too old, hence the reaper's scythe. The origin of the Grim Reaper figure comes from the Medieval Europe during the 14th century when more and more Europeans found themselves dying of the mysterious new plague known as "Black Death" (now known as Bubonic Plague). Ares freed Thanatos and Sysiphus was sent to Tartarus, the Greek Hell. ![]() Thanatos was chained and bound in the castle of Sysiphus resulting in no living being on Earth being able to die which lead to an uproar from the God of War, Ares. In Thanatos's most famous myth, he was captured and imprisoned by the Sysiphus, the mad king of Corinth. Thanatos was one of two twin sons born to Nyx, the primordial goddess of Night with Thanatos's twin having been the sleep-god Hypnos. The oldest Death figure who resembles the Grim Reaper myth is Thanatos, the Primordial embodiment of demise from Greco-Roman myth. Investment Account Manager is a Windows application, but runs on Mac and Linux using a Windows emulator, such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion, or through CrossOver or Wine, which "translate" a Windows application into a Mac or Linux one. But this should be added in a new version 3 of the software, due for release in the next few months, along with a number of other features and improvements. One feature missing from Investment Account Manager compared to both StockMarketEye and Fund Manager (see next column) is the ability to graph the performance of your portfolio. All three offer free trials, so if you're interested we'd recommend you download them all and see which you get on with best. All can perform standard features such as tracking trades and dividends, automatically updating prices over the internet and importing past transactions and existing holdings downloaded from your broker or existing software in standard file formats such as OFX/QFX, QIF and CSV. In this article, we'll look at three of the best-known ones. These are not cheap and we wouldn't recommend that you buy one if you're just starting out, but experienced investors may find them useful. However, there are a few specialist programs for tracking your portfolio. They may be able to tell you what your assets are worth, but not give you much insight into whether you're doing a good job of managing your money and how you could do better. Unfortunately, most personal finance programs treat investing as an afterthought. But if you're an investing enthusiast with money spread across different strategies at multiple brokers, you may feel that you need a better way to monitor what you hold and how well you're performing. |
