    1. Magical Secrets

      Can a bard replace spells gained through Magical Secrets?

A spell learned through your Magical Secrets feature counts as a bard spell for you, so it can be replaced upon gaining a bard level later. But it must be replaced by a bard spell, according to the rule in the Spellcasting feature.

      Which spell scrolls can bards understand—spells from the bard list only, or spells from the bard list plus spells from Magical Secrets?

    2. Cutting Words

      Is the intent that a bard gets to know the number rolled on an attack roll or ability check before using Cutting Words, or should they always guess? If used on a damage roll, does Cutting Words apply to any kind of damage roll including an auto-hit spell like magic missile? You can wait to use Cutting Words after the roll, but you must commit to doing so before you know for sure whether the total of the roll or check is a success or a failure. You can use Cutting Words to reduce the damage from any effect that calls for a damage roll (including magic missile) even if the damage roll is not preceded by an attack roll.

    2. Naturally Stealthy.

      Do the lightfoot halfling and wood elf hiding racial traits allow them to hide while observed? The lightfoot halfling and wood elf traits—Naturally Stealthy and Mask of the Wild—do allow members of those subraces to try to hide in their special circumstances even when observers are nearby. Normally, you can’t hide from someone if you’re in full view. A lightfoot halfling, though, can try to vanish behind a creature that is at least one size larger, and a wood elf can try to hide simply by being in heavy rain, mist, falling snow, foliage, or similar natural phenomena. It’s as if nature itself cloaks a wood elf from prying eyes—even eyes staring right at the elf! Both subraces are capable of hiding in situations when most other creatures can’t, but neither subrace’s hiding attempt is assured of success; a Dexterity (Stealth) check is required as normal, and an observant foe might later spot a hidden halfling or elf: “I see you behind that guard, you tricksy halfling!”

      Can a dragonborn sorcerer with a draconic bloodline have two different kinds of Draconic Ancestry? A dragonborn sorcerer can choose a different ancestor for the racial trait and for the Dragon Ancestor feature. Your choice for the racial trait is your actual ancestor, while the choice for the class feature could be your ancestor figuratively— the type of dragon that bestowed magic upon you or your family or the kind of draconic artifact or location that filled you with magical energy.

    1. Naturally Stealthy

      Do the lightfoot halfling and wood elf hiding racial traits allow them to hide while observed? The lightfoot halfling and wood elf traits—Naturally Stealthy and Mask of the Wild—do allow members of those subraces to try to hide in their special circumstances even when observers are nearby. Normally, you can’t hide from someone if you’re in full view. A lightfoot halfling, though, can try to vanish behind a creature that is at least one size larger, and a wood elf can try to hide simply by being in heavy rain, mist, falling snow, foliage, or similar natural phenomena. It’s as if nature itself cloaks a wood elf from prying eyes—even eyes staring right at the elf! Both subraces are capable of hiding in situations when most other creatures can’t, but neither subrace’s hiding attempt is assured of success; a Dexterity (Stealth) check is required as normal, and an observant foe might later spot a hidden halfling or elf: “I see you behind that guard, you tricksy halfling!”

    2. Trance

      Does the Trance trait allow an elf to finish a long rest in 4 hours? If an elf meditates during a long rest (as described in the Trance trait), the elf finishes the rest after only 4 hours. A meditating elf otherwise follows all the rules for a long rest; only the duration is changed.

    1. Sau giai đoạn giảm sốc vừa qua, có nhiều NĐT đã bị thua lỗ nặng nề. Đây là điều đáng buồn, nhưng chúng ta nên bình tâm lại. Tôi xin chia sẻ một số quan điểm về giai đoạn hiện nay:1. Đáy thường chỉ nhận biết khi đã qua, nhưng chúng ta phải nhận ra, chứ không nên bảo thủ 1 chiều. Mốc 1157 là đáy 1, mốc 1203 có thể là đáy 2. Cả 2 mốc này đã được confirm.2. Thị trường đã bình tâm trở lại, không chỉ là vấn đề tâm lý, mà cả bao gồm cả về những vấn đề khác như trạng thái Margin, short sell, ...3. Thanh khoản giai đoạn tới sẽ không còn như trước vì lý do dòng tiền rút ra (một phần từ Trái phiếu DN, một phần tiền SX-KD, một phần do thua lỗ, một phần do quá sợ CK, ...). Nhưng nếu quan sát kỹ, chúng ta có thể nhận thấy mức 10k-11k tỷ / phiên là đáy thanh khoản. Kịch bản có xác suất cao trong thời gian tới là tăng dần đều, ổn định ở mức 14k-15k tỷ/ phiên.4. Vĩ mô thế giới có nhiều bất lợi, nhưng vĩ mô trong nước lại không quá bi quan. Gói hỗ trợ LS được tung ra kỳ này khá lớn, hy vọng có thể giữ ổn định TT về khía cạnh dòng tiền. Bên cạnh đó, giải ngân đầu tư công cũng kỳ vọng thúc đẩy tăng trưởng để GDP năm nay vẫn đạt mức 7%. Đặc biệt, dù siết chặt hơn nhưng vấn đề Trái phiếu DN, nợ xấu ngân hàng vẫn có chiều hướng "ném chuột không làm vỡ bình". Cho nên chỉ cần TT Mỹ đừng quá xấu (chẳng hạn DJ đừng thủng 30k), thì Vn-index hoàn toàn phù hợp với điểm 13xx. Nếu dòng tiền mạnh hơn (chẳng hạn lên lại 20k tỷ / phiên), thì rật có thể sẽ chinh phục được 14xx. Rõ ràng, nội tại vĩ mô được định giá lại ở mức 1200-1400 là phù hợp, chứ không còn câu chuyện 1600-1800 cho năm nay được, nhưng cũng rất khó xuyên thủng 1200.5. Với thị trường bình ổn hơn, sẽ không còn câu chuyện "ăn bằng lần" hay "lỗ sấp mặt" nữa. Sẽ có từng giai đoạn các nhóm ngành mạnh yếu khác nhau. Trong giai đoạn này tôi ưu tiên nhóm bank, vận tải biển, bán lẻ, năng lượng. Tôi sẽ bỏ qua các nhóm có tính chu kỳ như thép, phân bón, ck. Còn một số nhóm ngành tương đối khó hơn như bđs, kcn, thủy sản, hóa chất, tôi sẽ hành xử rất thận trọng.188Like

    2. Trong kỳ báo cáo gần nhất về chỉ số CPI của Mỹ đã có nhiều ý kiến cho rằng đã tạo đỉnh ở mốc 8.3%. Có nhiều khả năng khi báo cáo mới sẽ ra khoảng 10 ngày nữa sẽ nhìn thấy con số giảm rõ rệt. Dù ở VN luôn có độ trễ nhất định, nhưng khả năng CPI của VN cũng vẫn trong tầm kiểm soát, khoảng 5.0%-5.5% cho năm nay. Còn về Vn-Index thì rõ ràng sự điều chỉnh mạnh về đến dưới 1200 vì nhiều lý do khác nhau, nhưng có lẽ cũng đã phản ánh đầy đủ những gì xấu nhất. Việc TT có tăng trở lại hay không là khó dự báo, nhưng có thể tự tin rằng vùng 1200 đã confirm là đáy của Vn_index trong năm 2022. Còn sẽ tăng đến bao nhiêu, khi nào tăng, tăng ở dòng nào, lại là câu chuyện cần sự tư vấn chuyên sâu hơn.62Like

    3. Trong ngắn hạn mọi dự báo đều có xác suất sai rất cao, tuy nhiên cá nhân tôi vẫn duy trì các dự báo này dựa trên cơ sở lập luận của mình. Không hẳn để hô hào (vì chả để làm gì), để câu view vì tôi không cần điều đó, cái chính là vì quá đam mê và luôn sống trong nhịp đập của thị trường. Có nhiều người lôi các tus cũ của tôi đã từng ngợi khen VCI, TCB, HPG, ra để bêu riếu, hoặc giả lôi những nhận định lạc quan của tôi về Vn-Index lên 1600, 1800 trước đây để "dìm hàng". Thực lòng mà nói, tôi cũng rất đau lòng khi những nhận định của mình gây ra những điều chưa tốt cho mọi người, trong đó có cả bản thân tôi. Nhưng bên cạnh đó, tôi nghĩ rằng đó là cuộc sống, đó là sự vận hành của thị trường mà chúng ta luôn vui mừng học hỏi từ những thất bại. Tôi sẽ tiếp tục đồng hành, tiếp tục chia sẻ những tâm huyết của mình, đặc biệt chú trọng các vấn đề về học thuật, về phương pháp và các bài học từ kinh nghiệm của bản thân. Bạn nào thấy có ích có thể đọc và theo dõi, thấy vô bổ chỉ cần bỏ qua là xong, đừng bận lòng mà chửi bới vì chả có giá trị gì.149Like

    1. En somme, les études sur la communication des élèves atteints d’autisme permettent de mettre en évidence l’importance d’un contexte riche en stimulations appropriées (sons et images), mais également une évidente « stabilité » de l’information à décoder, le suivi des émotions des personnages, le rôle de l’imitation dans les apprentissages. Ces résultats encouragent donc l’usage d’outils informatiques adéquats pour améliorer la communication sociale chez les enfants atteints d’autisme.

      L'association de deux sujets qui n'ont pas de corrélation vérifiéé, revient dans la conclusion en contradiction avec la conclusion de l'étude de Ramdoss, S et al.

      Results suggest that CBI should not yet be considered a researched-based approach to teaching communication skills to individuals with ASD. However, CBI does seem a promising practice that warrants future research. Les résultats suggèrent que le CBI ne devrait pas encore être considéré comme un approche fondée sur la recherche pour enseigner les compétences en communication aux personnes ayant Troubles du Spectre Autistique. Cependant, le CBI semble être une pratique prometteuse qui justifie des recherches futures.

    1. Innovation in Customers' Hands at New 7-Eleven® Lab Store Retailer Celebrates New Sylvan | Thirty Location with March 22 Grand Opening News provided by 7-Eleven, Inc. Mar 27, 2019, 09:30 ET Share this article IRVING, Texas, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Made-to-order smoothies and agua frescas … street tacos on handmade tortillas … a growler refill station pouring local craft beers … baked-in-store cookies and croissants … patio and inside dining areas … The newest 7-Eleven® location is a lab store and an experiential testing ground, where customers can try and buy the retailer's latest innovations in a revolutionary new store format. The newest 7-Eleven location in Dallas is a lab store and an experiential testing ground, where customers can try and buy the retailer’s latest innovations in a revolutionary new store format. 7-Eleven, Inc. celebrated the grand opening of its new lab store in Dallas – and the only one in the U.S. – March 22. The store is located at the Sylvan | Thirty retail and restaurant development on Sylvan Avenue, north of Interstate 30. This location is less than two miles from the original Southland Ice House in Oak Cliff where 7-Eleven pioneered the convenience retailing concept more than 90 years ago. "Convenience retailing is light years away from the days of bread and milk being sold from ice docks in 1927, and the industry is changing at a faster rate than ever before," said Chris Tanco, 7-Eleven executive vice president and chief operating officer. "7-Eleven stays at the forefront by pushing the boundaries and being unafraid to try new things. This new lab store will serve as a place to test, learn and iterate new platforms and products to see what really resonates with customers and how we can use those learnings to influence future store designs."The lab store is also the first 7-Eleven location to incorporate the Laredo Taco Company® taqueria, and the first Laredo Taco Company location in Dallas. 7-Eleven acquired the taqueria along with Stripes® convenience stores in South Texas as part of the 1,000-store acquisition from Sunoco in 2018. Laredo Taco Company is famous in South Texas for its handmade tortillas made from scratch in stores every day as well as its popular salsa bar with on-site, daily prepared salsas, guacamole and pico de gallo. Tacos, quesadillas and plate meals include specialties not always seen in quick-serve Tex-Mex restaurants such as carne guisada, barbacoa, picadillo bistec, carnitas and breakfast tacos made with hand-cracked eggs.Some of the other innovative ideas customers will see at the new 7-Eleven lab store include: Made-to-order coffee drinks, cold-pressed juices, smoothies and agua frescas that give customers the option to customize their drinks in a full-service beverage format. Additionally, it carries novelty beverages on tap such as nitro cold brew, kombucha and organic teas. "The Cellar," an alcove dedicated to an expanded selection of wines and craft beers, with a nearby growler station that features a rotating selection of local craft beer, cider and ales on tap. At the growler station, customers can enjoy a draft of their favorite beverage with their meal onsite or fill a growler to take home. A cold treats bar with frozen yogurt, ice cream and multiple toppings Cookies, croissants and more baked-in-store daily Digital initiatives that enhance the shopping experience. Scan & Pay technology that allows customers to skip the checkout line and pay for their (non-age-restricted) purchases on their smartphones. Indoor and patio restaurant-style seating in the Laredo Taco Company portion of the store as well as bar-seating across the front windows in the retail space. Many of the new items in this 7-Eleven "innovation station" are limited-time offerings. "A lot has changed in retail and continues to change rapidly, especially the shopping experience," Tanco said. "This lab store is customer-focused and will explore new ideas that weren't even on the retail radar a few months ago."The new 7-Eleven lab store is also providing local jobs, and the company is looking for outgoing, customer-service-oriented employees for this innovative new retail-restaurant concept.

Then came the innovation of some of our most popular menu items: the SLURPEE® drink, the BIG GULP® and then the BIG BITE®. Now, we continue our history of innovation and power it through digital initiatives. We Will From our humble beginning as the world’s first convenience store, 7‑Eleven continues its pursuit of innovative ways to cater to a new, digital-savvy generation of shoppers.

    1. 7-Eleven moves to support animal welfare By Nick Hall | 17 Feb 2019 View comments Global convenience chain, 7-Eleven has made major changes to its supplier sourcing agreement, eliminating caged eggs for the first time. The move follows ongoing criticism of the Australian cage egg farming industry, with several brands and chains making the early decision to move to wholly sustainable sourcing in-line with welfare standards. Working closely with suppliers across all states, 7-Eleven has now ensured that only free range eggs would be available for order by all stores. Clayton Ford, General Manager Corporate Affairs, 7-Eleven said the decision to phase out cage eggs was developed in accordance with franchisee wishes, with the convenience giant announcing it will increase support to assist in the transition. “Whilst our franchisees are free to engage with alternative suppliers due to our franchise agreement, we will continue to work alongside them to encourage their involvement in this initiative by sourcing free range eggs via our centralised supply chain,” Ford said. “We recognise that this is just one step, and we will continue to review animal welfare commitments in our supply chain and 7-Eleven branded products as opportunities arise.” Want to launch a convenience store of your own?
