Do not confuse this cable with similar-looking RCA to XLR cables and adapters! Benchmark Adapter Cablesīenchmark Adapter Cables combine the best cable, connectors, and construction techniques in order to offer high performance and excellent durability. This cable provides the best method for directly interfacing an unbalanced output to a balanced input. This star-quad configuration provides immunity to hum-inducing magnetic fields produced by nearby electronic devices. To reduce magnetic interference, the audio signal is carried on two twisted pairs arranged in a star-quad configuration. This wiring leverages the common-mode rejection of the balanced XLR input to reduce conducted interference. The separate connection from the RCA ground to pin 1 of the XLR provides a dedicated path for the audio ground reference. This keeps ground-loop currents out of the critical signal lines and greatly reduces the potential for interference. Using this special wiring, a ground-loop between the two audio devices will produce a current in the braided shield, but not in the audio signal lines. The braided shield ties pin 1 of the XLR to the shield of the RCA. The other half of the star-quad ties pin 2 of the XLR to the center pin on the RCA. This adapter cable extends balanced wiring to the RCA connector using star-quad wire to maximize the effectiveness of the balanced input: One half of the star-quad ties Pin 3 of the XLR to the shield of the RCA connector. RCA center pin to star-quad + to XLR pin 2.Dedicated shield connection - for immunity to ground loop problems.Star-quad conductors - for magnetic immunity.

It was in Freud’s work ‘Project for a Scientific Psychology’ ( Freud, 1895) that he first laid down the radical (at the time) idea that cognitive processes are intrinsically unconscious. Once this root-cause could be identified and explained, Freud thought, the physical and psychological symptoms would be alleviated ( Breuer & Freud, 1893). His treatment – the talking, the hypnosis, the hand on the forehead, the free association, the couch – all were designed to try and access this so-called ‘unconscious’ world, to find the root-cause of distress. What was the connection to her current symptoms?Īt this time Sigmund Freud had begun to develop a psychoanalytic theory that physical symptoms could be caused by thoughts not available to the conscious mind. What then did these past events in Frau Emmy’s life signal to Sigmund Freud? Later, after she had calmed down a little, she seemed better… Freud’s interpretation He let her give full vent to her emotion. Then Sigmund Freud did something more unusual. He hypnotised her and soon she began to speak of her frightening experiences – being a maidservant in an asylum, nursing her dying brother. To Sigmund Freud the symptoms she showed were typical of hysteria and he soon set about treating her with his strange new methods. was one of the earliest patients to be treated with the nascent techniques of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theory.įrau Emmy suffered from a series of tics, some facial, the most obvious of which was a loud ‘clacking’ noise. The case of Frau Emmy von N.įrau Emmy von N. Imagine travelling back to the 19th century and here is a smartly dressed young man looking at you with bright intelligent eyes and there is a pungent smell in the room of cigars. To really understand the revolutionary nature of Sigmund Freud’s work you need to do something for me: to forget you’ve every heard of him or his ideas. Indeed, Sigmund Freud made some startling contributions to psychology only accepted into the mainstream of academic research in the last few decades. One of the main reasons his work is not considered ‘scientific’ is the apparent difficulty of testing his theories.Īctually there is plenty of scientific evidence for his most important finding – the cognitive unconscious – but it has taken some time to be acknowledged. The strange thing about Sigmund Freud is that, amongst psychologists, his stock is relatively low. He thought there were accidents and that every behaviour had a meaning, if only it could be correctly intepreted. In other words, we sometimes say what we really mean by accident. Sigmund Freud believed that aspects of people’s unconscious mental processes were revealed by slips in speech. This often involved saying a word to the patient and asking them to respond with the first thing that comes to mind.įragments of the true repressed problem are supposed to emerge through this method. Sigmund Freud used free association as another method to access the unconscious. Since dreams often make little sense, they need interpretation - Freud and other practitioners of psychoanalysis need to work out what they mean. While were are asleep, he though, ideas that we would normally repress come to the surface. The interpretation of dreamsįreud thought that the interpretation of the dreams was the ‘royal road to the unconscious’. So, Sigmund Freud had to develop a series of techniques that he thought could reveal hidden neuroses. The problem for Sigmund Freud’s method was that if the key to mental healing is in the unconscious, how can it be accessed?
8/24/2023 0 Comments Next step chessSo which King is safer and why? It might be surprising to some of you, but there’s actually a huge difference in King safety. Always try to first think for yourself before reading my evaluation.īoth Kings castled and still have a lot of pawns in front of them. Now let’s look at two examples of King safety. If your King is less safe then try to trade off material If you King is safer then avoid trading pieces. Especially when it comes to trading pieces. Knowing which King is safer will help you with many decisions. If there are weak squares around your King.The amount of attacking power aiming towards your King.The number of pawns in front of the King – (generally the more pawns in front of the king, the better – just don’t get yourself back ranked!).If both Kings are castled, then you can go with more sophisticated parameters such as: So how exactly do you define a safe King? An easy way to start with is to see if the King is castled or still in the center. Sadly there’s also a lot of bad advice out there that tells you to do so. So the thing you should start with when evaluating a position is King safety. This is where most people already go wrong! If you see beginners play, they usually count the value of the pieces on every move. If your King gets checkmated, the game is over. As Nigel Short stated nicely, checkmate ends the game. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Queen up, or you have the nicest pawn chain in the world. The most important thing in any game of chess is your King’s safety. ALWAYS do it in the right order, because this is the order of importance. That’s why I present you with 5 key points to assess whenever you want to evaluate a position. And those factors can have a different level of importance. But there are different factors that appear in every position. The 5 steps to formulate a basic chess evaluation of a positionĮvery position is different and it’s very hard to give a one size fits all scheme that works all the time. But also "good winning chances" or "small winning chances but no risk" can be nice ways to evaluate your position too. Thinking your position is “better” or “worse” works well. What you should strive for are evaluations that are more tangible for humans. Believing that a position is +0.4 does not really help you in any practical way. In the era of chess engines, it’s important to mention that I do NOT mean evaluation in a numeric sense. Your evaluation of the position is your guide to finding moves that fit this evaluation. If you do not evaluate your position at all, you do not have an anchor for your future decisions. It goes without saying that you should avoid repetition of moves if you evaluate your position as "better". If you evaluate your current position as "better" you should look for moves that end up with the evaluation of "better". The current evaluation is needed as a compass for this future evaluation. The goal should always be to play the move that has the best evaluation for you by the end of your calculation. So how do you decide which move you should play? But first.īefore going into details, I want to explain why it is important to evaluate positions. Usually, you have more than 1 option on every move. I’ll explain the solution later in the article. And just so you don’t miss this important detail: they’re a piece up. How would you evaluate it? To start it off, I’ll give you a fascinating position to evaluate. It’s easy, logical, and over time, should become an automatic part of your thinking process. In this article, I’ll teach you my step-by-step process to evaluate chess positions. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past or what will happen in the future. The evaluation of a position is a simple assessment of the current situation on the board. So what is an evaluation of a chess position? And why do you need to do it? More of an "I attack this Knight, you move it away" kind of thing.īut once you make it past this phase, it’s essential to start evaluating your game positions. When you just start out, you usually calculate 1 or 2 moves ahead. Chess can be extremely difficult – especially when it comes to evaluating positions. 8/24/2023 0 Comments Yankees red sox head to head 2021April 27 – Acquired left-handed pitcher Wandy Peralta and infielder Connor Cannon from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for outfielder Mike Tauchman.April 6 – Acquired second-baseman Rougned Odor from the Texas Rangers in a trade along with cash considerations and minor-league outfielders Antonio Cabello and Josh Stowers.Patch worn in memory of Whitey Ford, who passed away on OctoTransactions 2021 February 23 – Acquired left-handed pitcher Justin Wilson from the New York Mets to a one-year, $4 million contract while in free agency.February 22 – Brett Gardner re-signs with the Yankees to a one-year, $4 million contract while in free agency.February 10 – Signed sidearm right-handed pitcher Darren O'Day (coming off a season with the Atlanta Braves) to a one-year, $1.75 million contract while in free agency.January 27 – DJ LeMahieu re-signs with the Yankees to a six-year, $90 million contract in free agency.January 27 – acquired Cy Young right-handed starting pitcher Corey Kluber from the Texas Rangers signs a one-year, $11 million contract with the Yankees.January 24 – Acquired starting pitcher Jameson Taillon from the Pittsburgh Pirates for four prospects ( Miguel Yajure, Roansy Contreras, Maikol Escotto, and Canaan Smith).January 6 – Acquired outfielder Greg Allen from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for James Reeves.December 2 – Luis Cessa re-signs with the Yankees for a 1-year, $1 million contract.įrom September 6–9, the Yankees never led in the 4-game series against the Blue Jays, the first time since 1924 they never led in a 4-game series in the regular season.
