In an academic paper, we find the following example: “A Chinese student told her Western-cultured classmates who were struggling to understand indirect confrontation: The indirect confrontation may also rely upon stories, metaphors, or images to cue associative logic intended to provide enough insight such that the other party can craft an appropriate response. Indeed, taking responsibility for resolving problems is the social obligation of a higher-status party in hierarchical cultures. It often involves third parties with the authority to make decisions so that lower-level people do not lose face. Indirect communication dislikes direct confrontation or critique. Both claim and justification are formulated in terms of Aristotelian logic, which is characteristic of Western culture’s analytic mindset. It consists of making a direct claim, then justifying it. This term was first introduced by Edward T. ![]() People from these cultures analyze multiple alternative solutions by debating their pros and cons from a self-interested, possibly a win-win perspective.įreely proposing and debating solutions requires an egalitarian society where disagreeing with someone who has more power, won’t affect your position.ĭirect communication is also referred to as low-context. Proposing and debating alternatives is characteristic of low-context and analytical cultures. They tend to propose solutions and value their validity. In these cultures, individuals care about performing actions and finding solutions. Indirect communication is typical for Eastern cultures which tend to be collective, and hierarchical.ĭirect communication is consistent with the individualistic self-interest. Since direct conflict must be avoided at any cost, indirect speakers will express disapproval or unease by non-verbal communication, vague questions or even complaining to a third party.Ĭultural origins of direct vs indirect communicationĭirect communication is usually considered to be characteristic of Western cultures, which tend to be individualistic, egalitarian, and analytical. They will find more convoluted ways to reply to avoid saying “no”.įor them being polite and “ saving face” – avoid hurting another person’s self-esteem is more important than giving an honest answer. Indirect speakers usually don’t make a direct statement if it may cause tension or conflict. Indirect communication is when true intentions are not verbally expressed but come from context or non-verbal communication. This communication style is considered more “ task-oriented” because criticism is expressed more freely and it is taken less personally.ĭirect people are not afraid of conflict and are used to disagree with others openly. They value direct answers, honesty and frankness. Direct communicators’ messages usually don’t have an underlying meaning. Direct communicationĭirect communication is when the speaker communicates true intentions directly in the verbal message. ![]() One of the most important insights for successful cross-cultural communication is being aware of the level of directness (or indirectness) people use in their messages. ![]() An Eastern European who moves to Germany will have to eventually adjust to a more straightforward communication. For a German who asks one time and expects to receive an honest answer, this might sound strange. You have to decline a couple of times, saying you don’t want to bother the host, then eventually continue declining but with less emphasis, which means that you actually want a cup of tea. In many Eastern European countries, if you come to somebody’s house and they offer you a cup of tea, it is considered impolite to accept immediately. ![]()

Grab the JPEX free flash decompiler here:Īfter that just follow the guide I posted a few link from Fallout 4, that's what I did. #Skyrim se missing swf containermenu magicmenu inventorymenu archive(credit to johnwd7 at for the bsa extractor)Īfter opening and extracting all the files within the interface.bsa archive you will need to edit the *.swf files. We had to wait for a BSA extractor that could read the new Skyrim SE BSA v2 archives but it arrived just recently, grab that here: (Credit therefore to johndoebowler at for that info which lead to my fix for Skyrim SE.) I found this guide pertaining to Fallout 4 UI editing and this is what I used as a place from which to start. I thought, do the Fallout 4 owners have the same issue so I started searching, apparently they do (Bethesda, do you really not like 21:9 monitors?). #Skyrim se missing swf containermenu magicmenu inventorymenu how toI found out how to do this when I heard (read) that Skyrim SE was updated to the Fallout 4 Game Engine. I am also not sure how well it will play with mods that overwrite UI elements, logic tells me they will overwrite these custom UI files and therefore break it again, will have to wait and see. I am simply editing the SWF files included in the interface.bsa file to correct the layout ratio so the UI elements in general are displayed on the screen, this does not also automatically prolong interface elements such as bars etc. I know some of the UI elements such as bars don't run the full length of the screen, that I am looking into but not sure what i can do as I'm not an artist nor do I have much experience with this. Most of the info on the panels should be visible.Īs I have not yet played much there might be some screens or info missing, if you notice anything let me know (with a screenshot).Īlso, this has been only tested by myself on 2560x1080 so those 3440x1440 users, fingers crossed this works for you (confirmed by several that it does). Note that this is my first time modding ever so consider this really early alpha quality and I am releasing just so that people can see something on the most commonly used panels. He/she has done a few more screen fixes than I have but also seems to have a lot more play time in Skyrim judging by his level which is a bonus. The end result will be the same because there is really only one method for fixing now anyhow. When I tested it he was on v1.3 and it was working fine, just the same. I will leave my original post below but go ahead and try out his version.

Virtual pinball code#You have to go to AtGames' website to buy these packs, and once you do, it's a matter of claiming a DLC code from their site then tapping on the system's unwieldy d-pad to pick through an on-screen keyboard and type that entire code out on your table. Williams classics, these ain't, but their digital versions are decent enough. Right now, they're limited to tables made by Zaccaria, an Italian manufacturer that made dozens of tables in the '70s and '80s. Paid DLC packs are the system's most obvious path to expandability, and each pack includes roughly 11 additional virtual tables. Yes, you can add games-in a bunch of waysĪtGames clearly wants you to add content to this thing. The kit's updated price at AtGames' official store is $150 more-and that's coincidently how much you would've paid for the platform's biggest downloadable table pack, which is now included in the $750 SKU. Shockingly, AtGames' superior construction launched earlier this year at the same $600 price as Arcade1Up's tables, but once the sets began selling out, AtGames changed its tune. Arcade1Up's backglass, on the other hand, has a print-out of a single, static picture. Lastly, AtGames' backglass includes a second LCD monitor, which changes its art based on whatever pre-installed game you play. (Arcade1Up's product doesn't include these nifty nudge buttons.) Fourth, the flipper buttons aren't alone next to each is a "nudge" button, so you can virtually bonk your table and nudge a pinball where you want it to go instead of relying on an imprecise accelerometer. Virtual pinball full#Third, this screen is covered in a full sheet of glass, which looks handsomer than Arcade1Up's plexiglass topper. Second, that screen natively renders at 1080p, compared to Arcade1Up's 720p, and it sports much better color calibration. First, its playfield screen is 33 percent bigger: 32 inches versus Arcade1Up's 24 inches. While that basic description applies to both of the cabinets we recently tested, AtGames wastes no time differentiating itself from the competition. Tap some buttons to page through an on-screen menu and pick a game, then use a real, physical plunger to launch the ball and side-of-cabinet buttons to work the flippers. Put it all together, plug it in, and a monitor lights up across the top to display virtual, pre-installed pinball tables. While I would definitely recommend that savvier virtual pinball fans choose AtGames' product between these two options, that recommendation comes with a few crucial asterisks-along with the fact that less-picky players (particularly families) may be better off sticking with Arcade1Up. You want expandability? You want more options by default? The $600-and-up AtGames Legends Pinball delivers. And after a recent testing period, I'm glad they reached out. Soon after, I got a friendly email from rival manufacturer AtGames that pointed to its own virtual pinball product. But its great virtual table selection and solid physical construction were marred by enough issues to make it a tough sell to anyone beyond families. Still, I saw its potential as a moddable machine, whether to add more virtual tables or to use its $600 base as a cheap path to a dreamy homemade system. ![]() I don't have the cash or space for a fleet of classic pinball machines, however, so I like the idea of a single system that emulates dozens of tables while maintaining the genre's physicality-staples like flipper buttons, nudge options, and a plunger.įurther Reading Arcade1Up pinball cabinet review: Fine for families, interesting for moddersLast month, this led me to test the Arcade1Up Williams Pinball table, and I was left amused, if not charmed. But pinball's orientation, form factor, and tactile nature have always precluded it from feeling authentic when virtualized on something like an Xbox. When I play classics like Pac-Man or Donkey Kong on a console, I generally feel like it's the same experience as standing up with chunky joysticks (your mileage may vary, in which case, there are tons of products for you). Yet while stand-up arcade multi-cabinets have rarely gotten me excited, virtual pinball is another story. A replica arcade experience seems like a great antidote for any nerd going stir-crazy in a pandemic. ![]() If you'd told me at the beginning of 2021 that I'd review not one but two virtual pinball options for the home, I would have nodded and said, sure, that sounds entirely unsurprising. ![]() ![]() ![]() The purple loosestrife plant, also called garden loosestrife, is a beautiful plant that can grow 3 to 10 feet (1-3 m.) tall with its woody angular stem. Control measures have also been hampered by local gardeners who take the plant home. It has an aggressive growth habit and because it has no natural enemies (insects and wildlife won’t eat it), there is nothing out there to stop the spread of purple loosestrife. Purple Loosestrife InfoĬoming from Europe, purple loosestrife was introduced to North America some time in the early to mid 1800’s, probably by accident, but attempts at purple loosestrife control did not begin until the mid 1900’s. Purple loosestrife info is readily available from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in most of the states affected and is considered a noxious weed. It has become a menace to the native plants in the wetlands of these areas where it chokes out the growth of all its competitors. Two species of Galerucella beetles can provide effective biocontrol for purple loosestrife, but will die off when the population of purple loosestrife goes down, allowing it to grow back again.The purple loosestrife plant ( Lythrum salicaria) is an extremely invasive perennial that has spread throughout the upper Midwest and northeastern United States. #Purple loose strife Patch#Mechanical removal is not recommended, but if done on a small patch and done very carefully (making sure that all parts of the plant are removed) it can work. The best thing to do is monitor natural areas and work to remove purple loosestrife as soon as it is spotted. Once it is established, purple loosestrife is very hard to control and likely won’t completely disappear in a large patch. Purple loosestrife is in bloom July through October and the flowers are a vivid purple that are very easy to spot from a distance. Purple loosestrife has a square, woody stem and opposite leaves. It has a woody root that can have from 30-50 stems coming from it. The leaves of purple loosestrife start out with lance-shaped leaves, but can become very variable in shape as the plant grows. ![]() ![]() Furthermore, the stems of purple loosestrife are very unwelcoming to waterfowl and as a result waterfowl do not frequent areas with purple loosestrife. ![]() This can dry up a shallow water habitat and make it into a terrestrial area, destroying the habitat for native aquatic animals that have been living there. When purple loosestrife enters an area its stiff stems can collect debris such as silt (sedimentation). This makes it very easy for it to out-compete native species. Not only do purple loosestrife seeds germinate very rapidly, purple loosestrife grows faster than almost any wetland plant. Like most invasive plants on the Top 12 list for the Grand Traverse region, purple loosestrife forms monocultures that replace native plants in high quality natural areas, which in turn reduces critical food resources for birds, butterflies, and other wild creatures. What problems does purple loosestrife cause? ![]() ![]() Note that I didn't test the content-search option, which promises to be slower. All the scans were completed in about a minute, and searches for specific categories of dupes were completed in seconds. On an 80GB Vista installation (on a 180GB partition) with the file-size limit disabled, Duplicate File Finder reported many more file multiples, but only 97MB of storage space would be recovered. ![]() Duplicate finder and remover windows 7 windows 7#When I used the default settings to search for duplicate files on a complete 50GB Windows 7 setup installed on an 80GB disk partition, fewer than 50MB of dupes were identified. The program's default is set to ignore files smaller than 1MB. Auslogics' Duplicate File Finder lets you search for copies by name, date, size, and contents. Other matching criteria include file name, date, size, and contents. Unfortunately, you can't limit the search to specific file types. The program presents a sequence of dialogs for choosing the folders to scan for duplicates and the categories of files to include (such as images, video, audio, or everything). Duplicate finder and remover windows 7 software#There's a lot to like about simple software - especially simple utilities such as Auslogics' Duplicate File Finder. Duplicate File Finder features a clear interface and speedy operation, while Duplicate Cleaner identifies more types of doubled-up files but is trickier to use, which means you're more likely to delete a file your system needs.įast and friendly way to spot file copies The two I tried - Duplicate File Finder from Auslogics and Digital Volcano's Duplicate Cleaner - take very different approaches to dupe removal. Several free utilities promise to hasten the file-cleanup process. If you rely on the file-management tools in Windows to root out unnecessary, space-clogging files, you're in for a long day of folder hopping. ![]() When my year-old laptop started running low on disk space, I knew one of the fastest ways to recover some lost hard-disk storage was to give the machine's duplicate files the boot.

The program is not new to the Ernst family, who started the Eldon Academy several years ago in Petoskey and have long operated camps and instruction facilities in Lansing. Plans call for two teams of 15 basketball players – one a prep school and one a post-graduate school – to live on campus, go through academic classes and, yes, play basketball.
