A video recording will allow a thorough inspection following the test but the coach may choose to assess the tuck jump with the help of a second person, should they not have access to video capture. ![]() The player completes 10 rapid, consecutive tuck jumps while taking off and landing in the one place. Also note a tape placed on the floor level with the player’s toes. Test Set-up: Note the player standing with a wall marker tape at a level of the top of the player’s thigh. The tuck jump assessment should ideally be filmed (smartphones are suitable and easy to use) from both a front and lateral view.įigure 5. Also place a tape marker on the ground representing the player’s feet position the equivalent of shoulder-width apart. To set up a standardised procedure to assess the tuck jump, use wall markers at a height of the top of the player’s thigh when they flex the hip at 90 degrees when standing upright (Figure 4.). The following test administration procedures will allow the S&C coach and the medics to track improvements across the training period in this easily administered test. The same exercise – the tuck jump – can also be used as an assessment to grade improvement in technique during a training period. Tuck jumps are used to train athletes across a wide range of sports to increase lower body power. This reliability means that the test reports consistent results across different administrators and over time (Myer et al 2008, 2011, Herrington et al 2013). In addition, studies have reported acceptable levels of both intra- and inter-reliability for this test. Given this finding across several studies, the tuck jump can be considered a useful test or screen to assess injury risk potential and many clinicians and therapists use this test as part of a return to play assessment protocol. Evidence from Myklebust and colleagues in 1998 suggests that female athletes across many sports demonstrate a 4 to 6 times higher incidence of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury compared to male athletes participating in the same landing and pivoting sports.įurther according to McLoughlin and colleagues in 2019, injuries to the knee are common in both male and female players within the community and amateur club game. ![]() According to Myer and colleagues in 2008, this test was specifically created to assess female athletes who demonstrate “high risk” landing mechanics. ![]() ![]() ![]() QuickTime doesn’t have an option for that out of the box.

Expand Display adapters then right-click and select Disable. ![]() However, the software is indeed really powerful and offers pro-level recording with all sources imaginable for both audio and video. In the Quick Link menu select Device Manager. Screenflick can record any portion of the screen, simultaneously recording audio from internal or external microphones and the system audio. You can drag a rectangle with the mouse to select any specific area, click on a window to record just that window’s area, enter specific sizing, enter an aspect ratio and select a rect of any size, or use one of several helpful presets, such as Full Screen. The reason is that OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) has a very steep learning curve, which makes it unsuitable for an average user. Screenflick features high-performance screen capturing for smooth, fluid motion up to 60 fps. Step 2: Screen Selection After choosing the recording settings, select which area of the screen you want to record. I’ve put OBS Studio at number nine despite it being a powerful free offering with a plethora of features that you would otherwise find only in paid software. Best of all, VLC is free, so what do you have to lose in trying to use it as one of the screen recorders for Mac. VLC allows some basic adjustments like which audio input device to capture, what frame rate to use for videos (it offers a decent max of 30fps), and allows following the mouse for easier focus as well, among other parameters. To access this “hidden” feature, navigate to the File menu and Open Capture Device, where you need to change the source selection to Screen. ![]() ![]() One of the most interesting features of Blynk is the use of virtual pins.

![]() ![]() As such, he sports a very “cool,” laid-back mentality, and is as skeptical of Mumble’s unusual ways as the rest of the colony. His Heartsong is “ The Message,” a hip-hop single by Grandmaster Flash. He almost looks like Mumble and Gloria, but is slightly fat. He is voiced by César Flores as a chick, and Fat Joe as an adult. Seymour is an emperor penguin born of the same generation as Mumble and Gloria. She is the first to notice the radio tracker on Mumble’s back. Gloria “never heard the right song” and remained alone during Mumbles time gone. Mumble thinks that Gloria and Seymour are now a pair, but Gloria introduces the baby penguins as their singing class Seymour teaches rhythm and Gloria teaches the blues. ![]() Mumble sees Seymour with Gloria and baby penguins with them. Angry and happy to see him again, Gloria is just as skeptical as all the other penguins. Three months pass, and Mumble returns to the penguin colony, exclaiming that he has found out what is causing the food shortage. Hurting, but determined, Mumble continues onward. Gloria doesn’t realize that Mumble is only trying to protect her, however – and she takes his words seriously as she turns to leave. But Gloria “doesn’t need an egg to be happy.” In a last desperate move, Mumble then starts insulting her repeatedly, driving her away so he can continue on. Mumble doesn’t want her to come in harm’s way, though – so he trys to get her to go back by saying they would never be able to keep an egg safe out in the unknown. Professing love for her chosen mate, Gloria wants to journey with him. Unbeknownst to Mumble and the amigos, however, Gloria follows them and catches up to the group. When Mumble is banished from Emperor Nation, Gloria greatly protests the action taken, and has to be restrained by her parents as Mumble leaves. According to the elders, Mumble’s “happy feet” are a deviant “ pagan” practice that is displeasing the emperor’s deity, the Great ‘Guin, and the god is withholding the fish as punishment. He calls Mumble’s dancing “unruly nonsense” and scapegoats him for bringing famine to the colony. Their fun is cut short by Noah, the Emperor Nation’s wizened leader. Finally realising the they were meant to be, Gloria joins Mumble in his dancing, along with nearly the entire colony who’ve also been won over. When Gloria starts heading back to the mob of suitors (visibly disheartened by Mumbles lack of a singing voice), Mumble attempts to harmonize with her Heartsong by tapping in rhythm and Gloria immediantly becomes entranced by it. ![]() ![]() Though they are true companions, Mumble simply does not have a Heartsong. Gloria is fooled only for a moment, for she knows Mumble can’t sing and soon sees through his ruse. Mumble attempts to impress her with a lip synced Spanish rendition of “ My Way,”. She sings her Heartsong, “ Boogie Wonderland,” endlessly – but none of the males interest her in the least. By the time Mumble returns, Gloria is nearly overwhelmed by the amount of attention. In subsequent singing classes, Mumble spends his time at the back of the class and daydreams, while Gloria sings more beautifully by the day.ĭuring Mumble’s time in Adélie Land, Gloria gains hundreds of interested suitors, as her reputation precedes her. The entire class laughs at him – all except Gloria, who defends him. When Mumble himself tries to sing, he can accomplish nothing more than squeaky screeching. In Miss Viola’s class in Penguin Elementary, Gloria quickly established herself as a musical prodigy, and Mumble is entranced by her wonderful voice. When the egg moved around and made muffled sounds, Gloria named the chick “Mr. When Memphis feared that Mumble’s egg was stillborn, Gloria tapped on it with her bill – and a pair of feet thumped back. She is slightly older than her best friend, Mumble, and knew him from before he hatched. Gloria is the offspring of Maurice and Michelle, fellow colony members and friends of Memphis and Norma Jean. (No Information: See The Story) Gloria: As A Chick: However, when he is told the Skuas about dark mysterious forces, it leads him on a quest to discover the source of the diminishing fish supplies… Characters: Mumble: Nevertheless, Mumble is determined to make Gloria his friend. This fact alienates him from the rest of the colony and angers the Elder leaders. Fortunately, Mumble is a great tap-dancer. He can’t sing, which means he can’t find a mate. Somewhere in the Snow-land of Emperorland, there is a penguin who is a little different to the other penguins. ![]() ![]() 'File / Search Web' contextual menu allows quick browsing of Google, Genius, MusicBrainz, Discogs, and IFPI websites by Artist, Album, Title, and ISRC tags.'Assign Track Numbers' feature for automatically setting Track# and Tracks Total tags.From Path' contextual menu for batch converting path and filename components into Title, Artist, Album, Genre, Album Artist, Grouping, Comment, Tags, and Initial Key tags.

The prose itself is very simple, but Akira did an excellent job at translating the surreal atmosphere of the game into a text format. ![]() ![]() I found this part of the book fascinating, much of it feeling a lot like poetry. You are the one dreaming and exploring the dream world, just as you would if you were playing the Yume Nikki game. Akira wrote this part of the story in 2nd-person point of view, meaning the viewpoint character is you. The first third of the Yume Nikki novel really caught me by surprise. And Akira seems to be just the right author for such a task, having written a wide assortment of weird and quirky books such as Mushi to Medama, and Biscuit Frankenstein. With all this in mind, how in the world would anyone go about writing a light novel for Yume Nikki? It seems like a task that could only be handled by a certain kind of author–one who is fully willing to experiment and push the boundaries of what constitutes a typical story. This is how the whole game operates, and I believe this is why it attained something of a cult status back in the day–and why it still has its fans even now, still sharing theories with each other and debating the meaning of every small detail. I did feel that it had to mean something though, as the whole scene felt far too specific and intentional to just be something random for random’s sake. It could simply indicate Madotsuki as a social outcast in real life, or it could allude to something more. The game does not explain the point of any of this being in one of Madotsuki’s dreams, so it is up to you to decide if it means anything or not. I couldn’t join in the festivities though, because there were vines that blocked the way. Going a little further, I found a group of three of the tall and lanky bird-faced girls, who were dancing to the music (provided by a boom box) and enjoying a picnic of cake and rice balls. I stumbled upon an area where the music shifted from its gloomy echoing ambience to a lively, happy party tune. To give one small example that stood out to me, there was a time when I was traveling through a large desert-like region that had odd, thick swirling vines in place of cacti. What was it I liked about such an aimless, dull-sounding game? I think it all boils down to the game’s atmosphere, and its abundance of attention-grabbing “moments” that felt well-designed for encouraging the player to attempt some kind of interpretation or analysis. There are even a few people you can run into, but they are hard to find - and without any in-game dialogue, there isn’t much that actually happens in the chance you do run into them. But there is still much to find and see, in terms of strange creatures and unsettling imagery. Much of the game has you walking through large and discomforting empty spaces, making for a slow and lonely experience that is highly unusual for video games. You start by picking one of twelve doors, each of which leads to a unique dreamscape (each of which in turn has doors and hidden passages that lead to even more strange places). In the game, Madotsuki goes to bed and falls asleep, and pretty much all you do control-wise is have her walk around in bizarre dream worlds. From what I understand, the name isn’t a real one, but mado means window in Japanese (and indeed, there is what appears to be a window to her heart, emblazoned on her sweater). In Yume Nikki (“Dream Diary”), you play as a girl named Madotsuki. Yume Nikki was different from all of these titles, and others of their ilk ( Ao Oni, Mad Father, Corpse Party, etc), in that it didn’t really have a story. I enjoyed titles such as Ib, The Witch’s House, and The Crooked Man because they each told an interesting little horror story in a unique way, and I liked the characters. I’ve never been into games too much, but around that time I took an interest in what I’d call “pixel horror RPGs,” most of which were indie titles from Japan I could download on my laptop for free and play through in five or so hours. I first played the Yume Nikki game about… oh, probably 8 or 10 years ago, somewhere around there. The novel I’ll be reviewing is a self-contained volume, and was released in ebook formats by J-Novel Club in January 2018. The game is available in English for free on PC via Steam. The Yume Nikki game was created with RPG Maker 2003, and released in June 2004. It was released in Japanese in August 2013, and is based on an unusual and surreal pixel-based exploration game made by Japanese developer Kikiyama. This review is for Yume Nikki: I Am Not in Your Dream, a novel written by Akira and illustrated by Aco Arisaka. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though ecotone appears as a gradual blend of the two communities, it is characterized by a sharp boundary line. The transitional zone may be local or regional, where the area can be between a field and a forest or amidst a forest and a grassland ecosystem, respectively. This is the region where two communities meet and integrate. The most common example of this condition is seen in Mont Ventoux in France as it acts as a boundary between the flora and fauna of northern and southern France.Ecotone is a transitional ecosystem between two biological communities. A terrain acts as an obstructive boundary which provides a boundary between species. Mainly mountain ranges are responsible for the formation of such ecotones as they show a wide variety of climatic conditions experienced on their slope ranges. When there is any kind of change in the physical environment then, in that case, they may produce sharp boundaries, as an example of the interface between areas of forest and cleared land. For example, the population density of birds is greater in the ecotone between the forest and the desert. In the case of the terrestrial ecosystem, mainly birds show edge effects. And edge species are those which occur primarily or most abundantly in the edge zone. It is seen that sometimes the population density of some species in the ecotone is higher than any other community and this effect is known to be an edge effect. When there is a change in population size or community structure that occurs at the boundary of two habitats then it is known as the edge effect. The flow of an ecoline occurs across the environmental gradient, like gradual change in abiotic factors such as altitude, temperature, salinity, depth, and many more. The zone in which there is a continuous change from one ecosystem to another in the absence of a sharp boundary between the two in terms of species composition is called an ecoline. Climatic changes take place because of the shifting of boundaries between ecosystems. Ecotones also show sensitivity toward global climate change. They offer protections to the bordering of an ecosystem from various damages and that's why they are known to be the buffer zone.Į. They act as a bridge or mode of transportation of gene flow from one population to another as they show larger genetic diversity.ĭ. by providing space for nesting for those animals who roam here and there in search of food or a place for a nest.Ĭ. They provide a comfortable habitat for different organisms i.e. Ecotones show greater variation in an organism.ī. They may also contain those species which are totally different from those found in the bordering systems.Įcotones have so many important roles in the ecosystem, some of them are listed below:Ī. They are known to be zones of tension as they show conditions intermediate to the bordering ecosystems.ĭ. They may vary in size from narrow to wide.Ĭ. Example: agriculture field and forest (it is a man-made one).ī. Some of the major characteristic features of ecotones are discussed below:Ī. ![]() Ecotone can also be seen in the area where one water body meets with another water body like estuaries and lagoons or at the boundary line between water and land like marshes.īoth of these ecotones are differentiated on the basis of the presence of large plants that rise from the roots attached to the submerged substrate and because of this reason they are found in areas where ample light is available at the bottom of the basin to permit growth. Mountain ranges can also create ecotones due to the changes in the climatic conditions on the slopes. Some of the very known examples of ecotones are marshlands (between dry and wet ecosystems), mangrove forests (between terrestrial and marine ecosystems), grasslands (between desert and forest), and estuaries (between saltwater and freshwater). They may also exist along a broad belt or in a small pocket, such as a forest clearing, where two local communities blend together. ![]() They are home to many flora and fauna as they have an area transition between two ecosystems and biomes. They are known to be of great environmental importance as they often contain those species which are not found in the overlapping communities. Ecotone is known to be a transitional area, which is present between two ecosystems or two different pleasant communities like forest and grassland. ![]() |
