![]() Part of a beginning reading series called “My First I Can Read Book.” this little gem proves that, in the hand of a craftsman, a limited vocabulary book can tell a real story that is of real interest to its readers. Eventually his owner lets him cuddle in her blanket and Biscuit falls asleep. Every time they try to get him to fall asleep he wants something else. ![]() Theme(s): Persistence, caring for animalsīrief Book Summary: This book is about a dog named Biscuit whose owner is trying to get him to fall asleep. For instance, they could act out what Biscuit is doing, and what he may do the next morning to practice their predictive skills. Another activity the students could do is dramatize the story. Then I could have the class echo the word to see if they understand and can read them. I could cover specific words that are repeated throughout this book, such as “time” or “wants”. One activity to do with my students is have them practice saying commonly used words in the books. The writing style also includes a lot of repetition and basic words, guiding the reader to follow patterns and sound more fluid when reading.Ĭonsideration of Instructional Application: This also makes it easier for the reader to comprehend. By having pictures of everything Biscuit is asking for, the reader can follow along with the story without fully reading all the words. The humble pictures help depict the writing within the story. This beginning book is a great start for early readers, because who doesn’t love a cute, puppy? The writing style is very basic and great for early readers. This friendly, yellow dog doesn’t want to go to bed, so he keeps barking at his owner and distracting her so he can stay up. A sweet entry to reading.”īoth reviewers write about the simplicity of the book Biscuit. The very simple, good-size pictures depict the heart of the action. This does just what it’s supposed to – it offers an appealing story with a minimum of words that will encourage new readers. “Part of the My First I Can Read Book series, this very simply book introduces a puppy named Biscuit, who is small and yellow and makes his needs known by barking “Woof! Woof!” At least his young owner thinks she can interpret his barks, but sometimes Biscuit has his own ideas. The added feature is the fuzzy image of Biscuit on the cover with a sign that says Pet Me!” Since the text was originally published in an early reader, it makes a longer than usual board book. ![]() It is a cute story and young kids will relate to Biscuit, but it is unlikely that they will sleep on the floor at the foot of their parents bed. He ends up sleeping on part of his mistress quilt at the foot of her bed. He wants another kiss and a hug and most of all he does not want to be left alone. His mistress does all the usual things – she gives him a snack, a drink of water, reads a story, finds his blanket and doll and even provides a hug and a kiss. “The start of early readers, Biscuit, the little yellow puppy, is like most kids, he does not want to stop playing and go to bed. Finally, when his owner is about to go to bed, Biscuit curls up besides her and falls asleep too. From playing, to a snack, to going outside, however, even after he gets that, he is still not tired. Title: Biscuit (World of Biscuit Beginning Reader)īrief Book Summary: It's time for Biscuit to go to bed, but he isn't tired! As soon as he barks, his owner gets him want he wants. Predicating what Biscuit will ask for next is a good bases for seeking if the child acknowledges the pattern presented throughout. The dominate themes carried throughout the book include, questioning when Biscuit will go to bed. It is important to set a foundationally stable structure for reading and it is equally important for the interaction to be associated with a memorable one. I rated this book 5 stars due to the great exposure from having a child receive a positive interaction with a book they read solely themselves. The words on a page are limited, but it does carry a theme of reaching the ultimate goal of finally going to bed. The genre of this book is k-4 and I would strongly recommend this for a Kindergarten/ 1st grade. The little girl in the book repeats the phrase, "Time for Bed, Biscuit!" but the puppy asks for something different on each page, for example, a snack, drink, or his blanket. This endearing and precious book offers as a great tool to utilize as a book a student can read completely by themselves, acting as a confident booster! The story is of a puppy named Biscuit and refers to getting read for bed.

Changed from Labyrinth a bit the chance for multiple damage now maxes out at 80%, though the multiplier still abides up to eleven and beyond. It removes Lime gems (moving their multi-hit to Red) and adds two more colors, changing the colors thusly: The second chapter, Chasing Shadows, was released to Armor Games in April 2014 and was released to Steam later in 2014. By combining gems correctly, you can create better ones to better fight those evil monsters. Gems are mostly obtained with a spell named Craft Gem (which is basically the source of the game's name), and have distinct colors (which affect the types of powers they possess) and levels (which affect their strength). However, a key difference splits Gemcraft off from other tower defense gamesinstead of being able to upgrade your traps and towers directly, you must power them with gems. You, the Squishy Wizard, must protect your tower ( tower defense, get it?) at all costs, by placing towers next to, and traps on, the path leading to it. Generally, An Adventurer Is You, assuming that said adventurer is always a noble wizard out to reach some goal on the other side of the world, come hell or high wateror in this case, come monsters by the bucketload. It has a distinct Fantasy setting with a rudimentary storyline that varies between installments. GemCraft is a free-to-play Tower Defense series developed by Game In A Bottle and distributed by Armor Games, a major source of Web Games. ![]() Spending less (or earning more) should be your go-to action, when wanting to up your savings percentage, no doubt! But don’t be shy to also consider aiming for above-average investment returns! □ For the average Joe, using a net return of 5% as a base might be more realistic than 8%, but sometimes being average is just really…boring! □ So whatever you do, I’d encourage you to aim as high as your risk profile will possibly allow you! Why settle for 5% if you can hit 7%? It will certainly depend on your ability to pick above-average investment vehicles. ![]() Obviously the higher the return the shorter the journey…40% savings rate with an 8% return will make you FI in 18 years.īut is an 8% return on investment realistic (long term)? Judging from the FIRE community though, it seems like anything is possible if you set your mind to it, and are willing to live less extravagant than the average person □įor some 50% will be achievable, and for others it wont.īut what if we played with (just for fun?!) the idea of an above-average ROI? Let’s just say, 8%? How would the table then look? I’m not going to be the judge of that, as it’s been a while since my salary was average. Which is why I’m now sharing this with you TODAY, so that you can (hopefully) avoid making the same mistakes as I did! □īut what about the average person with an average salary? Is a 50% savings rate for the average Joe at all possible? Had I known about “The shockingly simple math behind early retirement” 5 years ago, I’m fairly sure I would have made a different choice in housing (among other things). – Remember I live in an expensive area in an expensive house with an expensive wife, a kid, two kats, two cars and 6 chickens…). I have an above average paycheck, so for me it would certainly be realistic (my current savings rate is somewhere in the 15-25% range though. How realistic is it, for a regular person to live a normal/half decent life with a 50% savings rate? When i first realized this fact it absolutely blew my mind! 17 years?! So from the table above, we can see that IF we somehow manage to live our lives for 17 years with a 50% savings rate netting 5% interest on our investments, then we’re home free! Shocking indeed, no?! □ Just think of this assumption as a nice generous Safety Margin.

If you’re new to this whole idea of early retirement and are eager to learn “how it works”, I’d urge you to take a gander at the great article from the one and only Mr. Even “good” gamers will have a hard time overcoming the mental exhaustion of repeating the same challenges over and over. Unlike THPS, Airblade makes you complete all of those objectives in one perfect run before the time limit expires. Like classic THPS games, Airblade tasks you with completing a number of objectives in every level within a certain time limit. The biggest offenders here are Airblade’s time limits and the structure of its challenges. Having said that, Airblade could have been a significantly less difficult game if developer Criterion Software had only borrowed some of THPS’ better ideas. While not the most difficult 3D action game of the PS2 era (we’ll talk about those games in a second), it’s sometimes easy to forget just how hard the original God of War really was.Īirblade was unfairly dismissed as a Tony Hawk knockoff at the time of its release, but this game actually had quite a few things going for it that helped it stand apart. If this was a Crash Bandicoot game, it’d arguably be the hardest Crash Bandicoot game ever. While I’ve since seen people beat this game’s toughest time trials, there was a point in my life when I was ready to believe they were actually impossible. Some of Pac-Man World 2’s levels are pretty challenging in their own right, but only those who have tried to 100% this game know how hard it really is. Those who see Pac-Man World 2 on a list of hard games and think “What?” and those who hear the name Pac-Man World 2 and immediately unlock a treasure trove of painful memories. There are two kinds of people in this world. Oh, and this game’s “Hardcore” difficulty mode is even more brutal than the fictional snuff movie you’re supposedly participating in. ![]() While you’re technically allowed to make a mistake in Manhunt, most players will find that the odds of recovering from those mistakes are so low that you might as well hit reset the moment that you’re caught. Manhunt is a grindhouse classic that deserves more love than it typically receives, but like so many stealth titles of this era, it’s also a maddeningly frustrating game that may have chased off more than a few potential fans with its unforgiving gameplay. It forces you to embrace that brand of trial and error gameplay that would be impossible to endorse if the novelty of playing as a movie stuntman wasn’t so appealing. This is an already mechanically challenging driving game made worse by the fact you only have a couple of seconds to react to frustratingly vague on-set stunt requests. Stuntman is defined by the kind of razor-thin margin of error you typically don’t see outside of the toughest bullet hell shooters. ![]() You may also see the link of Bootstrap CSS. These also include jQuery, Bootstrap JavaScript libraries. These are the CDN links that I used for demonstration: Either use the CDN links or download the required files from GitHub site. In order to use this plug-in in your projects, you have to include a few libraries in your web pages. Steps for setting up datetimepicker Bootstrap plug-in See the output after modifying these classes: See the following example, where I simply changed the background color and text color of the plugin by overriding these classes: Just make sure, the modified style must be after including the plug-in’s CSS file that contains all styling.

The following markup is used for creating the textbox with icon: At the bottom, you can see a clock for selecting the time. By default, the calendar appears first for selecting the date. In this example, the date and time can be selected as you click the icon ahead of a text box. So let me start with examples first.Ī demo of simply displaying date and time in textbox After that, you can also see the simple steps of setting up the plug-in to use for your projects. In this tutorial, I will show you the examples of setting up the datetime picker by using the Bootstrap 3 Datepicker plug-in. Fortunately, many awesome developers are working on it to add useful features for Bootstrap framework. In certain scenarios, you may need allowing the visitors to not only select dates but time as well. However, that plug-in is used to manage with dates only. I also showed demos for customizing the look and feel by using the custom CSS for the calendars by overriding the default classes. In the datepicker tutorial for managing with dates in Bootstrap-based projects, I showed how you can use the bootstrap-datepicker plug-in with text fields. Now, he and his family scandal are at the center of their own true crime streaming show. When Death on the Nile, likely to be his final film, came out in July, Hammer was all but erased from the publicity push. The story would lead to Hammer getting dropped by his agent, departing from multiple projects, and apparently starting a new career as a timeshare salesman. They were accusing him of manipulation and psychological abuse. At the time, a casual observer could easily conclude that Hammer was dealing with a low-stakes case of harmless and juicy celebrity gossip.īut as time went on, and women who said they’d had past relationships with Hammer continued to discuss their stories on social media, it became clear that they were accusing the actor of much more serious behavior than a harmless consensual kink. When an anonymously run Instagram account first began to leak what appeared to be Hammer’s sexts in January 2021, early reports tended to linger on the salacious detail that Hammer apparently had a cannibalism kink. Yet Effie’s accusations were only the culmination of several months of cloudy rumors and scandal swirling around Hammer, rumors that at first appeared to be more entertaining nonsense than career-ending and potentially criminal accusations. After Hammer apparently spent some time selling timeshares in the Cayman Islands, according to Variety, he is now reported to be back in LA. In December of the same year, the LAPD wrapped the case without pressing charges after a nine-month investigation. In March of 2021, Hammer, who is most famous for his role in the 2018 film Call Me By Your Name, was accused by a woman named Effie of violent rape and physical abuse throughout their four-year on-and-off relationship. The new series is the latest in a string of ongoing disgraces to Hammer, who went from a Golden Globe nominee in 2018 to a man accused of abuse and sexual assault in 2021. On September 2, Discovery+ will premiere The House of Hammer, a docuseries exploring the alleged misdeeds of the wealthy family of Hollywood actor Armie Hammer.

In his new position, Haydn conducted the orchestra at the count’s home and wrote new music, including his first symphonies, for the group to perform. As Haydn became more well-known he eventually moved up the social ladder until in 1757 he was hired by Count Morzin to be his Kapellmeister, or music director. Haydn’s first patron was Countess Thun for whom he taught singing and keyboard. Sometimes the composer would also be required to teach lessons in singing or on an instrument. ![]() Usually the composer would have to write works to be performed at their patron’s home, often by the composer themselves. In Vienna, at the time, many musicians made their living through patronage, a system where a person of high status and monetary means would pay the composer for their talents. Eventually Haydn’s name became more recognizable and he secured his first patron. Haydn occasionally worked at the Imperial Court on holidays when extra musicians were needed for balls or for church services. He had compositions published, although some were copies of works he gave away, preventing him from earning any money. Haydn began writing his own music and was recognized for his comic opera, Der krumme Teufel, “The Limping Devil.” Although the opera was initially successful, the government censors found some “offensive remarks” in the work and shut down the production. During this time he also taught himself the music theory he hadn’t learned before, working through a book of counterpoint and studying the music of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Haydn had a hard time finding steady employment, instead working a variety of jobs including music teacher, street musician, and accompanist. A friend stepped in to give Haydn a place to stay while he tried to find a job as a freelance musician. Reutter subsequently caned Haydn, then dismissed him from the choir, which also meant Haydn lost his home. Haydn snipped off the pigtail of a fellow chorister. Although this might not have been enough for him to be dismissed from the choir, his mischief sealed the deal. By 1749 Haydn’s voice had changed and he was unable to sing the higher parts. Although he did not receive many formal lessons, Haydn learned a great deal about theory and composition simply by being a part of the choir. Surprisingly, Reutter only taught Haydn two lessons in music theory and composition during his nine years in the cathedral choir. Haydn’s education was somewhat well-rounded he learned Latin and other traditional school subjects, as well as instruction in voice, violin, and harpsichord. Haydn’s younger brother, Michael, became a chorister and moved into the home in 1745. Haydn lived with Reutter and his family and four other choirboys in a house next to the cathedral. A few months later, Haydn, only eight years old at the time, moved to Vienna to join the cathedral choir. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna was in Hainburg, Haydn auditioned to become a chorister at the cathedral and was accepted. ![]() When Georg von Reutter, the music director for St. He apparently had an excellent singing voice. Haydn began learning the harpsichord and the violin and sang in the local choir. Haydn never lived with his parents again. At age six, Haydn moved in with a relative who was a school and choir master in another town, Hainburg, to start his musical training. At an early age, Haydn showed musical talent and his parents realized that he could not receive the training he needed in their small village. Although neither parent had any formal musical training, the Haydn household was filled with music as the family sang and played together. Although he couldn’t read music, Haydn’s father was an amateur musician and taught himself to play the harp. His father was a wheelwright and served as the village mayor. He was born in 1732 in Rohrau, Austria which was near the Hungarian border. Franz Joseph Haydn was the oldest of this group of four composers who lived in Vienna around the same time. ![]() ![]() This boosts lasts for approximately 30 seconds.Īir Double-handed Pound Edit Sonic Wave Edit Homing Soul Arrows Edit.If not interrupted, the upper body of the Demon will glow yellow, signaling a significant increase in damage.*The Demon will be immobilized for several seconds, thus allowing this boost to be interrupted.

These resistances are multiplied by the values in the Physical/Magic/Fire Defense columns before calculation. When the player does damage to the NPC, the raw damage is put into a formula and computed against the NPC's resistances. Damage received by the NPC is slightly more complicated. The NPC's attack multipliers are applied before the damage is affected by the player's defenses and resistances. For example, if the HP multiplier is "x2", the NPC will have twice the health that the player would have if they had identical stats and equipment. Special Effect Multipliers are blanket multipliers that are applied to NPCs, including Black Phantoms. |
