![]() It’s comforting to know routines and rhythms during the day! Not in a cruel, unfeeling, or rigid way…but in a loving, thoughtful, intentional way that can often only be brought about by a caring adult. I also want to provide hope for those of you who have little ones, too!Īs an elementary teacher, I firmly believe that children thrive on knowing boundaries (whether they’re behavior or time boundaries). The reason I’m sharing this schedule today is just to show you what we’ve been doing and what has been working for us. What works for one household may not be workable or wise in another household. Her advice and insight has been amazing, and now I can say I feel a lot more confident with Sophie’s schedule!Ī quick note about schedules: different families like to structure their time in different ways, obviously. ![]() The fact that I can bounce my concerns and questions off of Stacey has been the biggest blessing these past couple of months. I can’t write this blog post without saying a huge, huge thank you to Stacey - the mother of an Instagram friend of mine, who teaches baby sleep classes to new parents. As Sophie has grown, her nap schedule has changed, and her eating habits have changed as well! (Some of these changes have just naturally occurred for Sophie on her own, and others are what we’ve decided to implement.) I mentioned in Sophie’s 6 month update that I have been working really hard to structure a better schedule for her lately. It feels like I just wrote about our daily routine, but things have changed! Sophie was about 4 months old when I described our daily routine last time, and now she’s 6 months old! It’s been requested that I share our new daily rhythm, so here goes! Time sure flies, doesn’t it? Somedays, I’m blown away when I realize just how long Sophie’s been a part of our family! With that in mind, here at Babywise.life we want to provide you with highlights from sample baby sleep schedules that will help you improve baby's sleep habits and get baby started on a sleep routine, particularly as it pertains to that every important first year.Hey friend! Are you hoping to create a household full of peaceful productivity? Then make sure you get on the waitlist for upcoming exclusive motherhood content! We just went through an in-depth series full of motherhood tips & tricks, and I can’t wait to dive into even more tips with you in the future! But what exactly are parents supposed to manage? The short answer is the continually evolving, changing, and growing needs of their baby. ![]() The first represents a baby's day and the second speaks to Mom and Dad's involvement in their baby's day-they are to be the managers. The two relevant thoughts contained within this definition include: "24-hour" and "management." PDF is a 24-hour infant management strategy designed to help parents connect with the needs of their baby and help baby connect with everyone in the family. Parent-Directed Feeding (PDF) is also critical to that routine. Returning to its original shape is perhaps the most critical element of flexibility. The root word, "flexible," means "the ability to bend or be pliable." To think of a flexible item, think of something with a particular shape that can bend or be pulled and then return to its original shape. Part of the answer comes from understanding the meaning of flexibility. ![]()

For example the commands used when setting up a new project, coupling the remote repositories to be tracked by the local ones and so on. Although this was a choice in order to learn Git with the command line and the Git messages you receive are quite verbose, I kept on forgetting the commands you do not use every day. Although we are pro-opensource code, the websites and apps we develop for our clients should remain private off course.Īt first we did all our Git development using the command line. This in sharp contract with Github which lets you only save five private repositories. We use Bitbucket to store our online repositories because they offer an unlimited number of free private repositories.

![]() “That’s the interesting thing about land art, is that its meaning changes as the world changes around it,” Coolidge said. It would decay and change, just as its surroundings would decay and change.Īccording to Smithson’s writings, though, that was kind of the point. ![]() ![]() He knew a piece like “Spiral Jetty” wouldn’t stay pristine. Smithson wished to explore that duality in his work. According to Matthew Coolidge, president of the Center for Land Use Interpretation, Smithson fundamentally understood the dual relationship between construction and destruction - “sides of the same coin, and you couldn’t have one without the other,” Coolidge told the Deseret News. Smithson was also fascinated by entropy - a concept about decay that gained increased prominence during the middle part of the 20th century. Interacting with such a huge piece requires a shift in perception, which then shifts how one experiences the entire world that surrounds it. In an artistic context - and especially with a work like “Spiral Jetty” - phenomenology is about interacting with art works much larger than one’s own body, and having one’s senses heightened because of it. Robert Smithson was becoming increasingly well known in the New York art world during the 1960s when he conceptualized “Spiral Jetty.” Smithson wanted to make art that wasn’t confined to a normal gallery space - an extension of the “phenomenology” concept that previous artists like Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cezanne had explored. Holt/Smithson Foundation, Licensed by VAGA at ARS, New York “I think it was just unimaginable to so many artists that had been working in their studios and creating works that you hang on a wall, or smaller sculptures.” “Just the amount of work, and how can that many tons of basalt and earth be pushed and shaped along a shore? How can an artist do such a thing these days?” she said. And the piece’s sheer magnitude inspired numerous artists who got sucked into its orbit. Its construction, Kivland said, was an enormous feat. “The magnitude of the effort, I think, was also part of (‘Spiral Jetty’ creator Robert Smithson’s) legacy,” said Kelly Kivland, a curator at the Dia Art Foundation, a New York-based nonprofit that oversees care for “Spiral Jetty” and numerous “land art” pieces around the world. It’s a strange piece of art, with an equally strange history that continues to evolve. The Deseret News spoke with a few experts on the enormous landmark. ![]() That piece of art is the “Spiral Jetty” - a swirling, 7,000-ton landmark off Rozel Point in northern Utah, built of salt crystal, mud and basalt rocks, that stretches more than 1,500 feet into the Great Salt Lake. There’s something underworld about this particular spiral.” SALT LAKE CITY - The New York Times called it “the most famous work of American art that almost nobody has ever seen in the flesh.” The artist who designed it said it was “the edge of the sun, a boiling curve, an explosion rising into a fiery prominence.” And the woman who financed it said it was “very primal, almost a kind of Luciferian sort of art. ![]() ![]() Invite your team to your workspaceĬreating a Slack team is really straightforward – Choose a unique name and password for your workspace, and then you will be able to invite other coworkers and collaborators.

Not only that, a new viewer to Bebop today might very well find familiar parallels to modern productions, as there are now creators whose work is inspired by their growing up with the show (for example, Knives Out and Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson, whose first feature-length film Brickstars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a teenage detective heavily inspired by Bebop’s leading man).įurthermore, it’s not like Cowboy Bebop is lost media from the past. It feels familiar because, even if you haven’t seen any of the films Bebop takes direct inspiration from, you’ve almost certainly seen the conventions these films established pop up in other films and shows. Though animated and sci-fi-set in a dystopian future in which humans have colonized the planets and moons of our solar system- Bebop mostly cribs from classic cinema, primarily Westerns, noir, gangster, and kung-fu films. However, probably the main reason many people take to Cowboy Bebop so easily is that it speaks in tropes we’re all familiar with. Also, for English-speakers, the dub is so good it’s widely accepted as being as valid as the original Japanese. Yoko Kanno’s jazzy soundtrack swings so hard that people who don’t normally listen to jazz find themselves downloading the soundtrack (guilty!). The beautiful, high-quality animation looks as awesome now as it did when it premiered in 1998. The series was and remains a great gateway title for numerous reasons. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Cowboy Bebop, the anime directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, is what got me into anime. This article spoils much of Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop adaptation as well as the original anime series. ![]() ![]() Thankfully, the DA’s office reviewed the case, agreed that there was no remaining victim to represent, and decided to drop McBride’s felony charge, according to Fox-25. ![]() “I have never watched that show in my entire life, just not my cup of tea…Meanwhile, I'm a wanted felon for a VHS tape…I mean, I didn't try to deceive anyone over Samantha the Teenage Witch. He had two kids, daughters that were 8, 10 or 11 years old, and I'm thinking he went and got it and didn't take it back or something,” she said. “I had lived with a young man, this was over 20 years ago. This girl is kidding me, right?' She wasn't kidding,” McBride said, confessing to the local outlet that she had no memory of ever renting - or even watching - Sabrina. The DA’s office “told me it was over the VHS tape and I had to make her repeat it because I thought: 'This is insane. After contacting the district attorney’s office, McBride was reportedly informed of the cauldron of late-return trouble that’d been brewing for more than two decades. that I had an issue in Oklahoma,” McBride told the station. “I went to change my driver's license, during this COVID thing you had to make an appointment, and so, I sent them an email they sent me an email and they told me. But Salem the cat must’ve been silently following McBride around the whole time, because the overdue charge reportedly came up when she recently tried to apply for a driver’s license in Texas - and was told she was wanted by law enforcement. Running into a felonious road block after trying to renew her driver’s license in a new state, former Oklahoma resident Caron McBride learned she was the subject of an arrest warrant for forgetting to return a rental copy of Sabrina the Teenage Witch - not the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Netflix version, mind you, but the old-school ABC show starring Melissa Joan Hart.Īlong with the entire VHS industry, the “Movie Palace” rental outlet, where the tape had been reported missing, apparently went out of business sometime in the mid-2000s. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for one seemingly-cursed Oklahoma woman, who, according to Fox 25 News of Oklahoma City, just found out she’s been hexed by a 20-year ghost of video memories past…all for allegedly failing to return a VHS copy of a witchy 1990s sitcom. Captain Marvel may have wrecked an entire Blockbuster Video - but at least she didn’t commit the truly cardinal sin of forgetting to return her rental tape. ![]() ![]() ![]() Next to the sandy Golden Beach, also known as Chrissi Akti, this Paros family beach hotel has been one of the most favorable sea view Paros hotels for family holidays in.

These mats include 4 different sets: CVC words, CVCe words, short vowel words, and long vowel words. Then they will record the rhyming words on their recording sheet, giving them an opportunity to practice writing and spelling the words. #3: Rhyming Matsįor a hands-on rhyming activity for kindergarten, rhyming mats are perfect! With these rhyming mats, students will look at the mat, say the name of a picture, and cover it with a rhyming picture card. This is a fun activity for students and is a great way to expose them to more words and give them ample opportunities to practice listening for those same ending sounds. Play continues in a circle until all students in the circle have said a rhyming word. The next person says a word that rhymes with that word. Pass the rhyme is a fun circle time activity for students and requires zero materials or prep! The first person says a word out loud. This option is a bit more advanced as they will use their phonics skills as well as their phonemic awareness skills. This gives them a little more practice with decoding CVC words. The second option is to have students match the picture card to a rhyming word card. They can match pairs of pictures or make a whole stack of pictures that rhyme. The first option is to have students match pictures based on if they rhyme. There are a couple of different ways you can play this game. You can draw simple pictures on notecards if you don’t have picture cards in your classroom and save them for future activities!

One product that may be a little better at bonding to rubber is acrylic tape. You will know you are getting the top-quality product when you stretch a little piece of tape a long way, and it does not break. If you want to get the good stuff, you have to insist on it in some circumstances. They will sell you putty tape, calling it the same as Butyl tape even though the two products are not necessarily the same thing or of the same quality. The problem here is that many hardware and other stores that sell these kinds of tape do not claim any difference. Butyl tape may be harder to work with, but it does not dry out on you, and you get a great seal every time. ![]() In comparison, the putty tape is a little easier to work with, but it does dry out relatively fast and can ruin any seal you have created. The tape will distort a little and fill in the grooves of the screw. It works fairly well when you are screwing down vents, etc. The former competitor in this competition has been around for a long time. They are long and wide enough to cover fiberglass insulation and seal off any leaks the insulation fails to cover. Also, Butyl tape-like products are large enough to help with insulating your home. It is just not as good or as effective as Butyl tape. The latter is still a good product and works well for those people on a limited budget. You are paying more for the Butyl tape because it is better and of higher quality than the putty tape. But the cost difference here is reflecting the level of quality between the two products. That will be the key difference between the two tapes, except for the cost, of course. They are essentially the same product with different quality levels. ![]() This may be one reason people use the two names interchangeably. It is said that long-term exposure to this tape can cause cancer. ![]() That makes it fairly dangerous to use.īut, Butyl tape is also known for having toxic chemicals in it. That product doe shave some harsh chemicals added to it in order to get it to stick to your windows or RV. Many people make a big thing about petroleum products in regular putty tape. What is the Difference Between Butyl Tape and Putty Tape? That makes it a convenient product to have around when you are traveling. Then this material can be applied to rubber, glass, galvanized metal, plastic, wood, and aluminum surfaces. You can keep the water out of those expensive RVs with a little Butyl tape. From household fixes to RVs to vehicles and windows, this tape is your friend. Then the different application options are many. Application is the same as this tape does come in rolls, and those rolls are straightforward to unwind. This allows you to really get into those tiny holes and cracks that you need to seal.Īlso, it is said to withstand all heat levels and not dry out on you. The advantage this tape has over the previous product is that it can stretch to a fine hair’s width and still not break. It is at least double the cost of regular putty tape. That application superiority is reflected in the price of this product. This tape type does the same job as putty tape, only better. ![]() ![]() ![]() This thirty year gap reflected my experiences as a reader and person. There is, cunningly, a thirty year gap between the publication of the first in the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn and The Last King Series, and also a parallel thirty year gap in the actual narrative of Simon and Miriamele. It is possible that you might want to plunge straight into The Last King of Osten Ard trilogy. ![]() It starts just after the end of the action of To Green Angel and introduces some of the characters who will appear in The Witchwood Crown, 30 years later in the series timeline… At 100,000 it’s a relative minnow in the Tad writerverse. As a bridging book between To Green Angel Tower and The Witchwood Crown, the first book of the second trilogy, we have The Heart of What Was Lost. By the time you get to Dragonbone’s climactic scene, a battle with a dragon in the frozen north, it’s quite inconceivable you won’t be fully paid up for the rest of an amazing trip.Ī quick introduction to Osten Ard: The Heart of What Was Lost (An Osten Ard Novel)īut there is now a shorter way into the Osten Ard world. Both are now major actors in a cosmic battle between good and evil and the stage is perfectly set for the two further parts of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, Stone of Farewell and To Green Angel Tower (the latter so vast it is divided in two in paperback form – Siege and Storm ). He encounters Miriamele, John’s granddaughter, on the road. Simon is the unwitting dupe caught up and then cast out in the upheaval. All is not well in the succession to the throne and there are dark forces conspiring to topple the empire. Simon is a kitchen boy serving his time in the feudal household of the good King John in the Hayholt, the fortress at the heart of the Osten Ard empire. As at the beginning of any journey, there’s a bit of familiarisation before we can properly get going on the epic quest behind this book and its two (or three depending on how you read them) successors. The inspiration of George RR Martin’s later, multi-character, relationship-based epic fantasy is the starting place for many, maybe the majority of Tad fans. So where to begin? Where it all began: The Dragonbone Chair (Book One in the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series) ![]() I’m not sure if anyone has tried adding up the number of published words but if we assume the minimum length of any of his series books is 300,000 ( and many are much longer) my guess would be in excess of 5 million words all told. When discussing the work of Tad Williams, three words tend to crop up: ‘beloved’ (as in best-loved author) ‘warm hearted’ (his delight in creating empathic heroes and heroines) and ‘immersive’ (his ability to conjure massive, sweeping worlds rivalling Tolkien). ![]() |
