Rounders pathological gambling12/30/2023 ![]() Game-based gambling dates far back in human history as an almost universal activity, in that about 70–90% of people gamble at some time in their lives ( Shaffer et al., 1999 Welte et al., 2014). Note that the number of studies might serve as a limitation. Gambling assessment, age, and sex significantly moderated the magnitude of genetic and environmental influences on gambling. In conclusion, gambling behavior was moderately heritable and moderately influenced by non-shared environmental factors. Shared environment had noticeable effects on female gambling (c 2 = 14%) but zero effect on male gambling. Genetic influence (a 2) was greater for male (47%) gambling than female (28%) gambling. Additionally, the magnitude of the genetic influence (a 2) was higher for adults (53%) than adolescents (42%). The magnitude of the genetic influence (a 2) was higher for disordered gambling assessed with symptom oriented assessment (53%) than for general gambling assessed with behavior oriented assessment (41%). The whole sample analyses showed moderate additive genetic (a 2 = 0.50) and non-shared environmental influences (e 2 = 0.50) on gambling. behavior oriented assessment), age, and sex. We further assessed the moderating effects of gambling assessment (symptom oriented assessment vs. ![]() The correlation coefficients within monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins, along with the corresponding sample size, were used to calculate the proportion of the total variance accounted for by additive genes (A), dominant genes (D), the shared environment (C), and the non-shared environment plus measurement error (E). ![]() We systematically identified 18 twin studies on gambling in the meta-analysis. Pathological Gambling will be the odds-on favorite for anyone interested in gambling in America: policymakers, public officials, economics and social researchers, treatment professionals, and concerned gamblers and their families.Disentangling the genetic and environmental influences of gambling is important for explaining the roots of individual differences in gambling behavior and providing guidance for precaution and intervention, but we are unaware of any comprehensive and systematic quantitative meta-analysis. How do pathological gamblers perceive and misperceive randomness and chance? What are the causal pathways to pathological gambling? What do genetics, brain imaging, and other studies tell us about the biology of gambling? Is there a bit of sensation-seeking in all of us? Who needs treatment? What do we know about the effectiveness of different policies for dealing with pathological gambling? The book reviews the available facts and frames the intriguing questions yet to be answered. Its describes the effects of problem gambling on families, friendships, employment, finances, and propensity to crime. This book provides the most up-to-date information available on the prevalence of pathological and problem gambling in the United States, including a look at populations that may have a particular vulnerability to gambling: women, adolescents, and minority populations. ![]() Treatment approaches and their effectiveness, from Gambler's Anonymous to cognitive therapy to pharmacology.

Recent disney movies not pixar12/30/2023 And when the story of a man whose mind is split into two by powerful narcotic Substance D made it to theaters in 2006, it came in a form that wasn’t available when Dick first wrote it. Dick’s novel to receive a proper adaptation. ![]() “A Scanner Darkly” (2006) “A Scanner Darkly” ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collectionġ977’s “A Scanner Darkly” is one of science fiction’s most indelible works, but it took almost three decades for PhilIp K. Kate Erbland, David Ehrlich, Christian Blauvelt, Steve Greene, Eric Kohn, Jude Dry, Chris O’Falt, Anne Thompson, Zack Sharf, Noel Murray, Jenna Marotta, Michael Nordine, Ryan Lattanzio, Alison Foreman, and Christian Zilko also contribu ted to this list. In honor of the release of one of those contenders, the exquisite “ The Boy and the Heron” from animation master Hayao Miyazaki, we’ve updated our list of the best animated films of the century, with a variety of new entries we’ve overlooked and the gems that have come out since our last update. ![]() Movie,” anime fantasy “Suzume,” Pixar and Disney entries “Elemental” and “Wish,” Netflix comic book adaptation “Nimona,” CGI action film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” the long awaited sequel film to “Chicken Run,” and smaller titles like “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman” or Cannes premiere “Robot Dreams.” This year has been huge for the medium, between smash hit “Super Mario Bros. As few as three movies were nominated per year until 2010, but since then animation’s increased prominence has been reflected in the race’s competitiveness. The genre has grown so much since we entered the current century, in fact, that it can be easy to forget the Academy Awards didn’t even recognize animation until 2001. Animated films have grown ever more artful and affecting as more and more folks realize that, the Oscars comments notwithstanding, it’s never just been a medium for children, with studios and indies alike creating stop-motion marvels, hand-drawn standouts, and CGI spectacles. Just like a movie "based on" anything else will stretch and change the original source material, whether it is non-fiction or fiction.Pixar and Studio Ghibli tend to spring to mind first when discussing great animation, but there’s a world beyond those two giants. But even with all that, the movie is still based on the original fairy tale. Aladdin has three things in common with the original story: the character's name is Aladdin, he goes to get a lamp, and he ends up with the princess. Aladdin does not watch the Princess get undressed in her bathroom like a creepy perv in Disney's version. The Little Mermaid does not turn to sea foam in Disney's version. They keep the main elements and strip almost everything else. ![]() ![]() This is what Disney does with its fairy tale films. This can help you find the plot similarities: īut, if the fact that Disney tried twice before to adapt The Snow Queen and the fact that they tout Frozen as their version of it can't convince you, I doubt anything I show you will. That's a very weird thing to say when a lot of their films, especially their most beloved, are based on fairy tales. Yes, most Disney films are based on fairy tales, legends, and mythology.

Simply sight-in at 50 yards, then use the drop points for your distance. This 2-7x36mm model has a 1' tube diameter, Drop Zone 22 reticle, and black matte finish. Our new Dropzone 22 reticle is a bullet drop compensation (BDC) reticle that gets a 40-grain 22LR round out to 125 yards in 25-yard increments with a 50-yard zero. 50 yards and out would be more suited to target shooting. ![]() If you are trying to shoot rounds through the same hole at short range, not ideal. Our new Dropzone 22 illuminated reticle is a bullet drop compensation (BDC) reticle that gets a 40-grain 22LR round out to 125. This riflescope offers outstanding close. In addition, the top of the reticle’s bottom post (located below the 4th dot) represents a holdover point for a shot at 600 yds. I took several close range critters with it. Bushnell has created the ideal AR-15 optic with the Bushnell AR Optics Rifle Scope. THE DROP ZONE-223 BALLISTIC RETICLE Scopes equipped with the DROP ZONE-223 ballistic reticle are designed to be sighted-in at 100 yds, and provide aiming points in the shape of a dot every 100 yds, out to 500 yds.

Drop Zone-22 - Bushnell Rimfire Riflescope is designed to deliver peak performance for rimfire rifles. I don't know if you read my parallax thread but that was the first scope i shot with. AR Optics riflescopes are available in 6 configurations to equip every AR platform from 22 rimfire to long-range 223/5.56 firearms. The issue i had was my groups would move a little bit with the stock I was using that does not have a cheek riser. I shoot at targets that the center dot is smaller than a dime, the crosshairs are a little too thick. The low light performance is pretty impressive, especially when you consider price. The BDC reticle is quite impressive, and is a Drop Zone-223 that excels at mid-range precision when calibrated for 55-62 grain. Honestly if you mainly shoot 25 yards or less, I would not buy this scope. Click to expand.How? The hash marks can be seen fine. ![]() Affinity Designer could open all my Illustrator files with no further fiddling, so that was all set too. Did I mention that the relationship was dysfunctional? Finally, in April 2022, I went on a conversion spree, exporting all my InDesign documents to IDML even when I didn’t anticipate using them again. Even as I built new documents in Affinity Publisher and discovered that I could export my InDesign files to IDML and open them in Affinity Publisher, I kept subscribing to Creative Cloud, just in case. For $25, I figured it was worth a shot to give the release version of Affinity Publisher a try, and I also decided to pick up Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo for another $50.īetween the pandemic and being busy with other things, I didn’t use the apps that much right away, and it wasn’t until I needed to do more print pieces in 2021 that I dove in. I had played with the beta of Affinity Publisher when it first came out in 2019, and while promising, it was too rough and didn’t compare sufficiently favorably with InDesign. The event that started to dissolve Adobe’s grip was a sale that Serif, makers of the so-called “Affinity trinity” of Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Photo, held during the early days of the pandemic. I was unenthused about the time and effort involved in learning another app and redoing my moderately complex documents, so I kept subscribing despite my increasingly dysfunctional relationship with Adobe’s suite. Entire months would go by without me even launching one of the Adobe Creative Cloud apps. The price was high, but I felt it was worthwhile for the print work I was doing and to maintain my familiarity with that part of the industry.īy 2020, however, the running club was producing fewer print pieces-everything had moved online-and that $54 per month was starting to grate. And while my abilities with Illustrator are minimal at best (Photoshop completely confounds me), I appreciated being able to use it to collaborate more fluidly with designers and production systems. My fingers remembered InDesign’s keyboard modifiers and shortcuts from nearly a decade earlier, and I enjoyed setting up proper documents with carefully designed master pages, character and paragraph styles, and more. Acrobat Pro remained essential for Take Control’s workflow through 2017, and in 2016, I started using InDesign and Illustrator to create posters, sign-up sheets, and similar print collateral for the Finger Lakes Runners Club. ![]() I got pretty good with InDesign and enjoyed using it.Īfter the Take Control-related books we published with Peachpit around 2007, my reliance on InDesign fell off. I then used InDesign to write and edit at least 14 books over the next few years. I first purchased Adobe InDesign in 2003 to write iPhoto 2: Visual QuickStart Guide for Peachpit Press, switching from QuarkXPress because of the move to Mac OS X. The decision was purely financial-$54 per month works out to nearly $650 per year, which was far too much for the value I derived from InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro, and Photoshop, without even considering the other 15 or so Creative Cloud apps that I never installed. ![]() I had no particular complaints about the software, nor did I have any troubles with Adobe. #1684: OS bug fix releases, Finder tag poll results, Messages identity verification, blocking spambots, which Apple services do you use?Ĭonsider Switching from Creative Cloud to Affinity V2Įarlier this year, I stopped subscribing to Adobe Creative Cloud, saving myself $54 per month.#1685: Hidden secrets of the Fn key, Emergency SOS via satellite free access extended, RCS support in Messages, Rogue Amoeba icon evolution.#1686: Please support TidBITS, OS security updates, Apple services poll results, biking with an iPhone.#1687: Feature-rich OS updates, recovering from a crashing bug in Contacts, Zoom for Apple TV, how much do you use widgets?. ![]()
Best crossover suvs12/29/2023 The Escape has a 2.5L four-cylinder engine and two electric motors for a total of 200 horsepower. Today, several generations and new powertrains later, it is still the most efficient hybrid that isn’t a plug-in. Ford Escape Hybrid (40 MPG) (Photo/Ford)įord launched the very first hybrid crossover way back in 2004. It returns an estimated 41 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. The RAV4 Hybrid starts from $29,575, making it the lowest-priced vehicle on this list. It will also tow 1,750 pounds to help handle small utility trailers. A 2.5L four-cylinder engine and two electric motors combine to give this crossover 219 horsepower. Though the Prius is best known for being a hybrid, today nearly all of the company’s lineup gives you the option. Toyota has long been at the forefront of the push to electrify its fleet with hybrids. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (40 MPG) (Photo/Toyota) (If SUVs or pickups are more your thing, check out The 10 Most Fuel-Efficient 2022 4×4 SUVs or The 10 Most Fuel-Efficient 2022 4×4/AWD Pickups.) 10. They blow the gas and hybrid models out of the water for efficiency, so we’ve listed nine of them at the bottom on their own list, separately from our internal combustion engine (ICE) list. Thanks to the popularity of this segment, it also has the largest offering of all-electric vehicle options. So, some PHEV models might sit slightly lower than you’d expect. The EPA sorts PHEVs by combining their PHEV estimate and their gas estimates. Here they are, ranked worst to best, and sorted by EPA combined-cycle fuel economy estimates. The 10 Most Fuel-Efficient 2022 AWD Crossovers We used the EPA’s official fuel economy ratings to find the 10 crossovers that offer the best fuel economy and the all-weather, all-road, confidence of all-wheel drive (AWD). The best part, though, is that you can get AWD traction and car-like fuel economy.įuel economy is important in every segment, but it’s particularly important here, as crossovers are the vehicle almost half of buyers take home. It’s also stiffer, and why crossovers drive more like a car. This integrated chassis makes the vehicles lighter. ![]() You can’t remove the bodywork like you can in a body-on-frame SUV or pickup truck. Like a modern car, a crossover uses a unibody chassis, meaning the body and the frame of the crossover is one big piece - everything but the doors, front fenders, and hood. The crossover was born when automakers decided to blend the capability, size, and 4×4 benefits of their body-on-frame SUVs with the ride comfort, handling, and fuel economy of a car. The car-like models with large cargo areas, tall cabins, and extra ground clearance make up almost half of all vehicle sales in the country, and that share is growing. We’ve got the models that give you AWD and the highest fuel efficiency, for cost-effective capability.Ĭrossovers make up the hottest vehicle sales segment in the U.S. ![]() A fuel-efficient crossover is the choice of almost half of new vehicle buyers.
