Resolving "The procedure entry point ... library vulkan-1.dll" error when launching Hyper Scape

Hi. As the title says, I resolved the following error. What I tried There were two. When you try these, you will need to take full responsibility for your action. Backup is important. The first one is a GPU driver update. Valkan will be installed along with the driver update, so I tried this method first. However, changing the driver sometimes causes instability, so I recommend checking the current version from the device manager. The second one is installing the latest version of Valkan Runtime. I referred to this nice Japanese article. https://emulog.net/ps3-emulator-rpcs3-cant-run-missing-vulkan-1-dll/ In my environment, the problem was resolved.  However, my GPU was too old to play :(  I hope these information helps you. Bye.

What is “Concentration”?

Hi. Good morning / afternoon / evening. I’m ponpokorin (@ponpokorin_24).

In this article I would like to introduce Pomodoro technique first. This is one of the effective tools when you can’t concentrate. The name was given because the inventor used a timer in the form of a tomato (in Italian, tomato is "Pomodoro").

However, the specific method can be found by searching for "Pomodoro technique", so it is omitted here.

So, what do I introduce? In Pomodoro Technique, you set the timer for 25 minutes and “concentrate”. In this place, how do you concentrate? It is a today’s topic.

Being unable to concentrate on studying seems like a general problem. I think that there are people who listen to background music or favorite songs, prepare rewards, or use some other ways to study. I've tried many these methods, but I couldn't concentrate.

That’s why I considered and wrote the following my methods, so if you already concentrate on studying in the ways listed above, you do not need to read it.

Today’s TOC
  • What is “concentration”?
  • Set up the environment
  • Set up the mind
  • Afterword

What is “concentration”?

In the first place, in studying, the word “concentration” is not clear, so I would like to determine the “concentration” in studying personally as follows.

Concentration

(Meaning) Don't worry about anything else, just think about what you're working on.

This is my definition of “concentration”.

Based on this, I'll write below how we can keep our attention on one task without distracting.

Set up the environment

First, let's prepare the environment. Roughly listing…
  • Study in a comfortable space
  • If you want drinks etc., prepare these too.
  • Do not lie down. Please sit down and work in a correct posture.
  • Leave some space on the desk.
A comfortable space depends on the person. Some people like quiet places, others like fast food restaurants. Favorite temperature is also different for each person. If you are in a comfortable space, there are few uncomfortable factors, so you should not be distracted.

About the background music I mentioned earlier, if you hear it and feel comfortable, I think it would be good for you.

The important thing is "Is it comfortable for me?". Even though it is generally said that you can concentrate, some music may not suit you, I think. Please be careful this.

(As an aside, I have a habit of listening to music profoundly, so I don't play music while studying. For me, intense tunes (such as Rock) and songs seem less suitable for concentration.)

The reason why you do not lie down is to prevent you from falling asleep. Also, if you are not in the right posture, for example, your shoulders may be stiff and your attention may be turned on.

The other three are for you not to stand up or look for things for 25 minutes. Result of that, you don't get distracted by other things.

Set up the mind

After setting up the environment, the next step is to set up the mind.
  • If you think about something other than studying, look at the timer and go back to studying.
  • Think that "I don't have to worry about anything other than studying during this time."
With that above in mind, let's get to the task. I think these minds is more important than environments.

Even after the environment is set up, you can end up looking at your smartphone or thinking about other things, so you need to prepare minds to prevent that. The above two minds are more specific and effective than thinking vaguely "Let's study".

Afterword

How was that?

Personally, if you keep the above two (set up environment and mind), it is enough for the entrance. If you become accustomed to "concentration", you can use it not only for studying, but also for finishing work faster and for thinking. In addition, I think that you will be able to work efficiently with concentration.

Furthermore, the more things you can do efficiently, the more free time you will have, so you'll be able to live more comfortably.

Thank you for your reading! See you again!

Japanese education system and problems of university and employment system

Hi, Good morning / afternoon / evening. I’m ponpokorin ( @ponpokorin_24 ). In this article, I will briefly explain the Japanese education system, then explain the internals of Japanese universities and the connection between universities and occupations. I am currently attending a university in Japan, so I can write more realistically. I would like to know about the state around Japanese universities. Table of contents Japanese education system Current state of Japanese universities Japanese employment system Afterword Japanese education system First, I would like to see the flow from kindergarten to university and 専門学校. Until children enter elementary school, each family can take a different choice, but after entering elementary school, children will generally go to elementary school, junior high school, and high school in six, three, and three years. Please see the image below for a rough overview. Reference: Ministry of education, culture, sport, science, and tec

Molting and Secondary growth of Apple tree

Hi. There are various discoveries when you grow plants by yourself. Today I took a picture of the molting (maybe there is a formal name...) of the new shoot of an apple tree in the second year of seedlings. The above picture is hard to look the "molting", so I expanded. If you look closely, you'll find a skin that is transparent and can be peeled off easily. When I first raised an apple tree, I thought it was an illness, but it is growing without dying. So now, I'm thinking it's one of the physiological phenomena. By the way, "Secondary growth" is another phenomenon. The trunk becomes thicker with vertical cracks as shown in the image below. At the beginning, I was worried about various things. For example, I thought my apple tree got sick by seeing the white hair (trichome) of the buds (I didn't know the buds has it). But after a year, I get used to raising apple trees. In how many years will apple trees grown from seeds bear fruit? I can't wait
