Subject bias: Because your subjects know their responses will be read by you, their answers may be biased toward what seems socially acceptable.Watch out for this when creating questions to ensure your subjects answer honestly and aren’t swayed by your wording. Collection bias: It can be easy to accidentally write survey questions with a biased lean.Something to watch out for when crafting and running surveys is the effect of bias, including: If you wish to target a specific group of people, partnering with a market research firm to get the survey in front of that demographic may be worth the money. They can also be inexpensive running a survey can cost nothing if you use a free tool. While physical copies of surveys can be sent out to participants, online surveys present the opportunity for distribution at scale. This can provide a sense of what attendees enjoyed, what they wish was different, and areas in which you can improve or save money during your next event for a similar audience. One situation in which you might conduct a survey is gathering attendee feedback after an event. Surveys are physical or digital questionnaires that gather both qualitative and quantitative data from subjects. 7 Data Collection Methods Used in Business Analytics 1.

For that, click on the crop icon at the top and select the area that you want to crop. Fortunately, in Snip & Sketch, you can crop the image once it has been captured. In Snipping Tool, you would have to take a new screenshot if the size wasn’t of your choice. Sometimes, the screenshot that we take is too big. On the bright side, you can measure lines and angles with them. While Snip & Sketch isn’t any better, it offers a ruler and a protractor to draw straight lines and a circle. Sadly, all are missing in the Snipping Tool. Any screenshot tool should have basic tools like shapes, arrows, and text. I don’t know who advises Microsoft developers about the features. Also, it offers many colors for all marking modes. In the Snip & Sketch tool, you get a pencil besides pen and highlighter. You only get a pen and a highlighter with limited color options. Snipping Tool is restrictive when it comes to marking tools. That is not possible with the Snipping Tool. On the bright side, each screenshot opens in a separate Snip & Sketch window allowing you to work on multiple screenshots simultaneously. In the Snip & Sketch, the overall process is long if you use the above three methods. But at least, in Snipping Tool, the screenshot would directly open in the app. You need to tap on the notification to open the editor and then only you can save it.īoth the apps don’t save the screenshot automatically. Once you do so, you will get a notification, and the screenshot will be copied to your clipboard. That is, when you use the shortcut WinKey+Shift+S, PrtScn key, or the icon in the Action Center, the screen will be dimmed, and you will find screenshot modes (rectangular, freeform, fullscreen) at the top for taking custom screenshots. On the contrary, while using the New button (or Ctrl+N shortcut) when the app is open is one way to take a screenshot in Snip & Sketch, it also offers a direct, quick way. Fortunately, when you take a screenshot, it will directly open in the app where you can annotate and save it. Even though you can also use the Ctrl+N shortcut, but that will only work when the app is open. In the Snipping tool, as you can open it by one method only, i.e., through the app directly, you need to click on the New button in the app to take a screenshot. On the right, you have the settings and sharing options.įurther, when you change the size of the app, the various icons align themselves to fit in the available space where some even take the bottom bar. You will find the new screenshot button on the left side with various pens in the middle. The Snip & Sketch tool is part of the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and as such offers a modern design, similar to other Microsoft apps for Windows 10. The various icons such as New, Delay, Mode, etc. Snipping Tool has been part of Windows since a long time and hence, has the same old interface with File, Edit, and other options. Turn the toggle on for Print Screen shortcut. For that, go to Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard. Lastly, you can assign it to the PrtScn key too. You can also use the shortcut WinKey+Shift+S to start taking screenshots from any app directly. Secondly, you will find it under Action Center. First, you can launch it from the Start Menu similar to any app. On the other hand, Microsoft offers several ways to launch Snip & Sketch. You can launch Snipping Tool only from the Start Menu or with the help of its shortcut on the desktop. It is currently installed on the October 2018 build too, but the app clearly says that in the future updates only Snip & Sketch will be available. Snipping Tool runs on earlier versions of Windows. Unlike Snipping Tool, you can download and install it from the Microsoft Store too. The Snip & Sketch tool is available on Windows 10 desktops and laptops running October 2018 build and above. You will get your answer in this post where we compare Snip & Sketch and Snipping Tool. You may be wondering what is this new tool and how does it differ from our beloved Snipping Tool. While Screen Sketch is no longer installed on Windows PC, Snipping Tools resides along with Snip & Sketch as of now. That’s because it combines the features of both the tools. Snip & Sketch gives the impression that Snipping Tool and Screen Sketch (another screenshot tool part of Windows Ink Workspace) got together and had a baby. Just when I got used to it, Microsoft pushed a new update, and suddenly, now there is another tool known as Snip & Sketch on my Windows 10-based laptop. Thankfully, Windows 7 arrived with a proper screenshot tool known as Snipping Tool. But, it’s also tedious as you need to paste the screenshot in another tool to use it. The easiest way to take screenshots on Windows is by using the PrtScn key. ![]() ![]() "Theodore, the new King of Kings of Ethiopia, was certainly the most remarkable man that has appeared in Africa for some centuries. Georg Wilhelm Schimper the German botanist had mentioned the following about Tewodros: His beard is very light and his thin lip." His forehead is high and almost domed his slightly aquiline nose is a common trait among Thoroughbred Amharas. Like almost all Ethiopians, he had a slender body and seemed to owe his great agility less to his muscles than to his powerful will. The French explorer, geographer, ethnologist, linguist and astronomer Antoine Thomson D'Abbadie describes the monarch during his stay in Ethiopia: His faith is signal: without Christ I am nothing." He has exercised the utmost clemency towards the vanquished, treating them more like friends than enemies. He is generous to excess, and free from all cupidity, regarding nothing with pleasure or desire but munitions of war for his soldiers. He salutes his meanest (poor) subjects with courtesy, is sincerely though often mistakenly religious, and will acknowledge a fault committed to his poorest follower in a moment of compassion with sincerity and grace. ![]() He is unsparing in punishment - necessary in a wilderness as Abyssinia (at that time). He is fond of splendour, and received in state even on a campaign. Indefatigable in business, he takes little repose night or day: his ideas and language are clear and precise hesitation is not known to him and has no counsellors or go-between. When aroused his wrath is terrible, and all tremble but at all moments he possesses a perfect self-control. He is persuaded that he is destined to restore the glories of the Ethiopian Empire and to achieve great conquests: of untiring energy, both mental and bodily, his personal and moral daring is boundless. "The King Theodorus is young in years, vigorous in all manly exercises, of a striking countenance, peculiarly polite and engaging when pleased, and mostly displaying great tact and delicacy. When being crowned as King, Plowden described him as such: ![]() The British Consul Walter Plowden knew well the political events of Ethiopia during the 1850s and had foretold the rising star of Kassa the freelance warrior from Qwara. Essentially, Tewodros was a talented military campaigner. His confiscation of these lands gained him enemies in the church and little support elsewhere. He also intended to reform the church but he was confronted by strong opposition when he tried to impose a tax on church lands to help finance government activities. He introduced the collection of books in the form of a library, tax codes, as well as a centralized political system with respective administrative districts. He also established a professional standing army, rather than depending on local lords to provide soldiers for his expeditions. He sought to establish the principle that governors and judges must be salaried appointees. Tewodros II never realized his dream of restoring a strong monarchy, although he took many important initial steps. In the first six years of his reign, the new ruler managed to put down these rebellions, and the empire was relatively peaceful from about 1861 to 1863, but the energy, wealth, and manpower necessary to deal with regional opposition limited the scope of Tewodros's other activities. He ultimately committed suicide at the Battle of Magdala, during the British Expedition to Abyssinia. Despite his success against Shewa, Tewodros faced constant rebellions by stiffnecked nobles in other regions not understanding the benefits of modernization. In the course of subduing the Shewans, Tewodros took with him a Shewan prince, Menelik II who he brought up as his own son, who would later become Emperor (or Atse) himself. During the Era of the Princes, Shewa was, even more than most provinces, an independent entity, its ruler even styling himself Negus (Neguece), the title for King. Tewodros II's first task after having reunited the other provinces was to bring Shewa under his control. He sought to restore Solomonic hegemony, and he considered himself the Elect of God. He sought to re-establish a cohesive Ethiopian state and to reform its administration and church. ![]() ![]() Tewodros II's origins were in the Era of the Princes, but his ambitions were not those of the regional nobility. His rule is often placed as the beginning of modern Ethiopia and brought an end to the decentralized Zemene Mesafint (Era of the Princes). 1818 – 13 April 1868) was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1855 until his death in 1868.

In the saleroom the Hopetoun Gutenberg Bible was bought by Bernard Quaritch, who in April featured it, with an unusually long description, in his Rough List no. Tom Hodge of Sotheby’s discovered it in a neglected cupboard as he was packing up the library for shipment to London. Neither he nor anyone else had any idea that the family library included a Gutenberg Bible. In February 1889, the year he sailed to Australia to assume the governorship of Victoria, Hope put the library’s rarities up for sale at Sotheby’s. ANTIQ.’ The Hopetoun books descended to John Hope, seventh Earl and subsequently Marquess of Linlithgow. When Hope acquired this Bible it would not have been thought of as the Gutenberg Bible, but only as an ancient printed Bible: as the spine labels put it, ‘BIBLIA LATINA EDIT. But there must be a kernel of truth, for a number of fine Hopetoun incunables have early Strasbourg provenances, especially of the old collegiate church, turned Protestant in the sixteenth century, of Saint-Pierre-le-jeune. It is more rumor than established fact that the young Charles Hope, granted a peerage in 1704, bought rare books from the Jesuit college in Strasbourg. One is a beautiful copy now at Lambeth Palace Library, of which only the New Testament is preserved the other vellum copy, illuminated in London, survives as a single leaf used as a binding wrapper, discovered in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century by John Bagford and now in the British Library.The next surviving copy that we know to have reached the British Isles is that acquired, at an uncertain date in the early eighteenth century, by Charles Hope (1681-1742), first Earl of Hopetoun, and first resident of the grandly constructed Hopetoun House in Linlithgowshire. Because copies were sent to the Low Countries, it is not surprising that at least two copies, both printed on vellum, made their way across the North Sea to England. The localizing features of illuminations and bindings, and various old ownership inscriptions, document that the Gutenberg Bible was sold widely outside the region of Mainz, with copies going to Southern Germany, Austria, Central Europe, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, and Spain. These features were typically supplied at the places where the various copies were sold, and not in the Mainz printing shop. ![]() If purchasers wanted to pay extra they could further commission illuminated initials and borders. Before they could be used, these Bible sheets had to be finished with hand rubrication supplying book, prologue and psalm tituli, initial letters, chapter numbers, and headlines and then had to be bound. Perhaps 180 copies were printed of this Latin Bible, available for purchase in either vellum copies (about a quarter of the edition run) or paper.Each purchaser received the sheets of an intrinsically two-volume work in what is called Royal folio format, with leaf dimensions of roughly 40-41 cm in height and 29 cm in width: 324 leaves for the first volume, 319 for the second. The Gutenberg Bible (better called Gutenberg-Fust Bible), the first large-scale production of the newly developed system of typographic printing, was completed in Mainz in 1455.

You can do this by adding the double minus sign in front of a Boolean value or a cell reference, e. When writing an 'equal to' logical expression that compares a Boolean value and a number, you need to specifically point out for Excel that a non-numeric Boolean value should be treated as a number. However, this is only partially true, and the key word here is "always" or more precisely "not always" : ) There is a widespread opinion that in Microsoft Excel the Boolean value of TRUE always equates to 1 and FALSE to 0. If you want to compare the length of two text values, you can use the LEN function instead, for example =LEN(A2)=LEN(B2) or =LEN(A2)>=LEN(B2). To get the correct result, you must always wrap a date in the DATEVALUE function, like this =A1=DATEVALUE("") In the above formulas, Microsoft Excel interprets "" as a usual text string, and since "" is not equal to 41974, it returns FALSE. The point is that Excel stores dates as numbers beginning with, which is stored as 1. However, if you try either =A1= or =A1="" you will get FALSE as the result. For example, if the cells A1 and A2 contain the date "", the formula =A1=A2 will return TRUE exactly as it should. You might be surprised to know that the Equal to logical operator cannot compare dates as easily as numbers. Returns TRUE if a number in cell A1 is equal to the quotient of the division of B1 by 2, FALSE otherwise.Įxample 1. Returns TRUE if cells A1 contain the Boolean value TRUE, otherwise it returns FALSE. Returns TRUE if cells A1 contain the word "oranges", FALSE otherwise. Returns TRUE if the values in cells A1 and B1 are the same, FALSE otherwise. The Equal to logical operator (=) can be used to compare all data types - numbers, dates, text values, Booleans, as well as the results returned by other Excel formulas. Using "Equal to" logical operator in Excel But in fact, each logical operator has its own specificities and knowing them can help you harness the real power of Excel formulas. It may seem that the above table covers it all and there's nothing more to talk about. The screenshot below demonstrates the results returned by Equal to, Not equal to, Greater than and Less than logical operators: The formula returns TRUE if a value in cell A1 is less than or equal to the values in cell B1 FALSE otherwise. The formula returns TRUE if a value in cell A1 is greater than or equal to the values in cell B1 FALSE otherwise. The formula returns TRUE if a value in cell A1 is greater than a value in cell B1 otherwise it returns FALSE. The formula returns TRUE if a value in cell A1 is not equal to the value in cell B1 FALSE otherwise. The formula returns TRUE if a value in cell A1 is equal to the values in cell B1 FALSE otherwise. ![]() The following table explains what each of them does and illustrates the theory with formula examples. Six logical operators are available in Excel. Logical operators are sometimes called Boolean operators because the result of the comparison in any given case can only be either TRUE or FALSE. A logical operator is used in Excel to compare two values. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cost-effective: Mailhunt’s pricing plans are affordable, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes.This helps to reinforce brand awareness and build trust with customers.

Most Ethiopian rings combine numerical and non-numerical symbols, and reflections and rotations of characters are common. The Ethiopian symbol repertoire appears to be drawn from Eastern Arabic and possibly Devanagari numbers Arabic letters the Islamic Seven Seals and unique symbols that resist identification. For either material, the symbols are typically arranged evenly around the ring band there are usually two circular series, and sometimes the symbols of the upper circle are a reflection (through the ring’s equator) of those in the lower. Being softer, silver rings may instead bear symbols incised by scratching or engraving. The former are just convex circular bands of hard alloy into which glyphs are stamped using simple punch tools. In Ethiopia, especially among the Oromo in the southwestern highland district of Jimma, smiths inscribe white-metal or silver rings with talismanic symbols. Cryptic apotropaic rings are also found in East Africa. A distinct set of rings also carry Tifinagh-based magic squares recently-made items of this type may be “Tifinagh alphabet” souvenirs made for tourists. Tuareg gri gri plaques also carry magic square designs, but seem to contain mainly Tifinagh letters. With numerical considerations seemingly secondary to aesthetics, none of the magic squares were mathematically competent. No two designs were identical, but it was possible to define sub-groups based on style and content. The magic squares sometimes display complete or partial symmetry, with diagonals containing repeats of a single symbol. Most items combine symbols of different types, and reflections and rotations of stock symbols are common. A survey of 132 Tuareg/Berber items revealed that the symbol repertoire appears to be drawn from overlapping categories that include Eastern Arabic and Perso-Arabic numerals, and possibly Western digits and Indian Devanagari numbers as well Arabic letters Tifinagh and Libyco-Berber characters and the Islamic Seven Seals (the ism al-aʿzam or Greatest Name). A ring with a curved or flat frontal area may be inscribed with a linear cipher or, if large, carry a “magic square” design. The results of this study are presented here to clear up some of the confusion surrounding the talismanic seal stone of Crete.In West Africa, Berber groups such as the Tuareg of Mali and Niger use inscribed silver jewelry – rings, pendants and plaques – as talismans. RTI was performed on 12 seal stones, as a new way of making digital surrogates and learning more information about the stone surface. His idea has been criticized, but today we are no closer to ascertaining how this type of seal stone was used.įor this study, the data on 384 talismanic seal stones was collected and organized. Evans believed these stones were worn as magical charms or talismans. ![]() The talismanic stones, categorized by Sir Arthur Evans, were rarely used in this way. Most of these seal stones were used for their sphragistic properties – that is, authenticating documents or otherwise securing property. By around 2500 BCE, seal stones were in use on the island of Crete. They served several purposes: as identification, as a way of showing ownership, as a magical charm, and as portable art or jewelry. Seals were small stones or pieces of wood or ivory with intaglio, meaning designs were cut into their surface in order to create a relief when stamped in wet clay or a similar substance. Its purpose is to present previous scholarship on these seal stones, introduce the reader to a new way of recording and viewing seal stones through Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), and to offer the data from a study on 384 talismanic seal stones.
