He wrote about a “secret meeting, which should have been public” concerning a development project in Schaumburg, Ill., that angered advertisers of the paper. ![]() In a story he told to the Chicago Tribune, Weege embarked on a career in Hollywood in 1976 after he was fired from his job as a reporter for a suburban newspaper. The play won the Illinois state drama competition. Shelley Pierce, his high school girlfriend whom he later married, portrayed Lady More. In 1968, his senior year at Prospect High School in Mount Prospect, Ill., Weege played Cromwell in A Man for All Seasons opposite future Babylon 5 star Bruce Boxleitner as Sir Thomas More. He created the short-lived sitcom Park Place, which was set in a legal aid clinic and starred Harold Gould and Alice Drummond, and wrote and directed TV’s Nikki and Alexander, with Tim Matheson and Irena Ferris. He also received four WGA nominations and a Humanitas Award nom for his work.Ī native of Chicago, Weege also wrote for the TV adaptations of M*A*S*H and Semi-Tough as well as for Fish, the Barney Miller spinoff that starred Abe Vigoda. Needing a break from the intense demands of a weekly sitcom, “Reiny” retired from the show after six seasons. Night Court often walked the line between lunacy and reality, and its edginess pushed the envelope of network television at the time. Tweeted Larroquette on Friday: “In life there are those who impact us with such force everything changes. (In an inside joke during the third season, it was revealed that his character’s real first name was Reinhold, but he changed it to Dan out of embarrassment.) Larroquette collected a then-unprecedented four consecutive Emmys for best supporting comedy actor for playing Fielding before withdrawing his name from consideration in 1989. Weege captured his first Emmy nom in 1979 when Barney Miller was up for best comedy series but lost to Taxi. ![]() With Weege receiving a writing credit on 105 of the comedy’s 193 episodes, Night Court received best comedy series Emmy nominations in 1985, 19 - losing out to Cosby, The Golden Girls and The Wonder Years, respectively.

ACT is all about flexible movement towards your values.Ĭognitive defusion and Self-as-context then, are here to help you when difficult or unhelpful thoughts, sensations, and emotions pop up on your journey to complete your resolutions.įinally we get to committed action. And, it helps you reward yourself better when you act in alignment with your values. That increased awareness helps you more quickly recognize when you have fallen out of alignment. Mindfulness helps us better recognize what is going on in the moment. You can begin to use present moment awareness (or mindfulness practice) to assist you. Now that you are equipped with acceptance and some self-compassion. Do yourself and favor and practice some experiential acceptance. The body and mind often reject new behaviors even if they are “healthy” ones. No one starts a new behavior and sticks to it perfectly from beginning to end. Now, accept that you are going to fall off track. Exercising might be in alignment with the value of vitality or health. For example, the resolution to read more books might be in alignment with the value of growth. Once you have figured out your top 5 values, you can then select a New Year’s Resolution that is in alignment with one of your values. At any moment you should be able to ask and answer this question: What is the value I am working towards right now? Go back and revisit your top 5 values if you can’t answer that with confidence. I would suggest completing an online values card sort exercise. To create an ACT style New Year’s Resolution we must begin with understanding personal values. This describes the 6 core processes of ACT.Īcceptance and Commitment Therapy can give us a better chance at fulfilling our resolutions for the upcoming year. We can do better, but how? Let’s look at New Year’s resolutions from the perspective of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).Ībove is the ACT hexaflex. Relying on willpower alone is a sure fire set up for failing. But, like the survey says, only about 7% of people will actually stick to that exercise routine until it becomes an ingrained behavior that is part of their regular routine. It is much easier to stick with a regular exercise routine when our motivation is high right in the beginning. One of the most common resolutions is to exercise more. We come up short or give up on our resolutions a lot of the time because we fall into the trap of trying to rely on willpower. That is very saddening to see as a therapist. In that same survey, 57% of people chose to not even make a resolution. A 2019 survey found that only 7% of people stick to their New Year’s resolutions. Even those who set them with the best intentions and planning. New Year’s resolutions fail at a pretty high rate. Only to forget about it or fall off track a month or two into said new year. One thing leads to another and you find yourself setting a resolution for the upcoming year. Someone begins talking about their New Year’s resolution.

These can also be used when formatting numeric values (for example when using the to_char() function to return a formatted string representation of the number). Postgres includes plenty more template patterns and modifiers. Full List of Template Patterns & Modifiers So to_number() was mainly designed for situations such as this one. Result: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: "$7,000.25" SELECT cast('80' AS NUMERIC) īut we start to run into trouble once things get a bit more complex. So the first example on this page could have been done using cast(). Using the TONUMBER(), CAST(), and :: operator, we can convert a string into a numeric type such as an integer, double, or decimal. It is therefore generally unnecessary for standard numeric representations. In PostgreSQL, the :: operator and CAST operator are used for converting/casting one type to another. ![]() The to_number() function is provided mainly to handle input formats that cannot be converted by simple casting. Just to be clear, here it is again when compared to the correct template. So because I forgot to include the L template pattern (for the currency), this put the whole template out of sync with the number, which resulted in the G being ignored, as well as the D. Here’s an example of what happens if I simply forget to include the L template pattern from the earlier example. Otherwise you could end up with unexpected results. It’s important to get the template right. You can check the return type with the pg_typeof() function. The return value of the to_number() function is numeric. The L template pattern represents a locale aware currency symbol. So the previous example could be rewritten as follows: SELECT to_number('7,000.25', '9G999D99') These are G for the group separator (thousands separator), and D for the decimal point. ![]() The second option is to use the locale-aware versions. The first option is to literally type out the comma and decimal point. When working with larger numbers and/or numbers with fractional seconds, you’ll need to include template patterns that specify the group separator and/or the decimal point. So it’s important to include the correct number of template patterns in the template. Here’s what happens if I remove one of the 9s. I used two, because I wanted both digits to be included. The 9 template pattern represents a digit position. Each 9 is referred to as a “template pattern”. ![]() Where the first argument is a string representation of the number, and the second argument defines the template that the first argument uses. The syntax goes like this: to_number(text, text) More specifically, it converts the string representation of a number to a numeric value.įor example, if you have $1,234.50 as a string, you can use to_number() to convert that to an actual number that uses the numeric data type. In PostgreSQL, you can use the to_number() function to convert a string to a numeric value. ![]() The talos principle 2 reddit12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() All the while, the puzzles become evermore difficult, with coloured lamps that block your ability to clone and rooms that reverse gravity. The derelict spaceship setting and the constant death – of both the real you and of your clones, if you can even remember which one the “real you” is – provide a ponderous backdrop to the puzzling, and make you think about the nature of consciousness. By switching between them you can fling your soul across entire rooms and walk your creations off sharp drops if necessary, all in the name of reaching the next puzzle. You can generate up to four clones, and they’ll all mimic your actions exactly, which is handy for pushing blocks and pulling levers. With its titular Swapper, you create a clone of yourself with a single click, and warp your consciousness into that clone with a second. The Swapperĭeveloper: Olli Harjola, Otto Hantula, Tom Jubert, and Carlo Castellano And thanks to the release of the Ultra Deluxe version, there's more to discover and experience.

The Stanley Parable isn’t even really a puzzle game, but if it’s the interaction between Portal’s protagonist and G.L.A.D.O.S. The Stanley Parable shares a game engine, some locations, and even dialogue lines with Portal, but what reminds us most of Valve’s puzzler is its narrator - a sarcastic, funny, all-seeing voice that is both your friend and enemy.

A variety of new abilities, such as gravity manipulation and mind transference, join the established mechanics of the original Talos Principle, creating a fresh but familiar experience. Finish the game without solving every puzzle, or pursue the rewards of complete mastery. A New Generation of PuzzlesSolve a wide array of puzzles with varying difficulty levels, including clever metapuzzles and highly challenging Gold puzzles. The broken promise of a better tomorrow, the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes, faith in reason or renouncing humanity altogether - the choices you make and the sides you take will determine the course of events. The more you discover, the more you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization. Born into a new world where biological humanity is extinct but human culture lives on in a city of robots, you find yourself swept up in a mind-bending adventure involving a mysterious megastructure hiding enormous powers. ![]() Shift differential meaning12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() In the healthcare industry, employers will typically vary the calculation based on what shift it is and when it is worked.įor example, working a second or third shift on a weekend might attract a higher rate than doing the same during the week. In other roles, the employer may pay a fixed rate that is lower but covers all extra shifts equally. In nursing, there may be extra shift differentials calculated for taking on extra responsibilities as well.Īll of this depends on the employers and their policies.įor example, some employers might pay a lower base rate per hour but pay a higher percentage of shift differential for shift work so that employees are encouraged to work these hours. Normally, a shift differential is calculated based on a percentage of the normal wage. How do Nursing Shift Differentials Work? How to Calculate Shift Differentials In that particular situation, it’s being used as a form of recruitment and retention benefit. ![]() ![]() Sometimes they’ll give it to workers who work in specialty areas.įor example, a hospital may choose to offer a shift differential to transplant ICU nurses and not to med surg nurses because of how specialized transplant ICU nurses are. It’s not always just about the nights and weekends. The employer can assess how bad the need is and may adjust their shift differential to try to motivate more nurses to pick up night shifts or weekend shifts.Ī differential rate may also vary based on the shift worked, such as on a public holiday, on a Saturday or Sunday, or overnight. Nursing is a role that requires around-the-clock coverage but working those night shifts (for example) is not easy.Ī shift differential can offset this lack of desire by encouraging more nurses to work those shifts by offering monetary compensation. In the most fundamental terms, shift differential is extra pay for working a shift that isn’t quite so desirable for the bulk of employees. What are jobs that normally have shift differentials? What is the average shift differential for nurses? Do nursing shift differentials really make a difference in your paycheck?

Safe to delete: The iTunes XML file can safely be deleted - it is only written to disk and is never modified by SuperSync or read in by iTunes. iTunes creates this file when iTunes starts up, and any time you update your library (by adding a track, playing a track, changing a rating, or many other operations.)
