![]() Social Studies, History & Geography (CD)ĭevelop Thinking Skills Essential for Learning Success!.Social Studies, History & Geography (DL). ![]() Teachers can use the "grow slide" to see what their students are learning, to set a particular level, or select a particular exercise. Thinkin' Things assesses a student's capabilities as they participate in activities and automatically adjusts the difficulty level as students progress. Is a particular student more likely to remember what is seen or what is heard? How do they approach learning? Do they “guess and test?” Once something is “discovered,” do they use that information in another way to “see what happens?”ĭo they, for example, prefer to take Fripple orders at the door (both auditory and visual), on the phone (auditory only), or by mail (visual only)? Thinkin’ Things promotes learning in each student’s areas of strength while encouraging growth and building skills in other areas as well. Thinkin’ Things also focuses attention on how students learn. In areas that may not come as naturally to some children, Thinkin’ Things offers warm, friendly experiences in which self-confidence is built, exploration and creativity are fostered, and persistence is rewarded with success. A student’s musical and rhythmic intelligence may shine when working with Toony the Loon and his xylophones, or visual and spatial intelligence in creating with BLOX, or logical and mathematical intelligence with the Fripple Guides and Feathered Friends. Thinkin’ Things celebrates intellectual diversity. Students blend music, art, science, and play as they experiment with motion and the illusion of depth, creating works of kinetic art as they control the motion of shapes and the sounds they make.įOR EDUCATORS - MORE ABOUT THINKIN' THINGS Students will learn about attributes, differences, patterns and analogies.įor a fun-filled lesson in Boolean logic, students visit the Fripple Shop and fill customer orders for Fripples while learning to observe, compare, contrast and recognize relationships. Young learners will need to put on their thinking caps to create the missing bird in the series. For an even greater auditory challenge, students can ask Oranga to play in the dark! Students need to watch and listen carefully as Oranga Banga plays on his funky drum set, and then repeat what he plays. They create their own memorable melodies with Toony’s wacky xylophones: glasses, strings, hollow logs, and even squawking chickens! Students build auditory and visual memory as they repeat Toony the Loon’s musical patterns.

Set in Toony the Loon’s Lagoon, early learners encounter colorful, fun characters as they complete challenges that are automatically adjusted to meet individual learning needs. As they master the basic skills of the three R’s, they must now also develop a broader, higher-level set of thinking skills that will transfer to the workplace of the future.Įdmark® Thinkin' Things was designed to offer young students experiences with a variety of just such thinking skills: memory, critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity - in short, all the twenty-first century skills that today's young learners need. Our children will live and work in an Information Age that we can only begin to imagine. ![]()

To create a split form by using the Split Form tool: For example, you can use the datasheet portion of the form to quickly locate a record, and then use the form portion to view or edit the record. Working with split forms gives you the benefits of both kinds of forms in a single form. ![]() You can add, edit, or delete data from either part (as long as the record source is updatable, and you have not configured the form to prevent these actions). Selecting a field in one part of the form selects the same field in the other part of the form. Create a split form by using the Split Form toolĪ split form gives you two views of the data at the same time - a Form view and a Datasheet view.Ī split form differs from a form/subform combination in that the two views are connected to the same data source and are synchronized with one another at all times. If there is more than one table with a one-to-many relationship to the table that you used to create the form, Access does not add any datasheets to the form. ![]() You can delete the datasheet from the form if you decide you do not need it. For example, if you create a simple form that is based on the Employees table, and there is a one-to-many relationship that is defined between the Employees table and Orders table, the datasheet displays all the records in the Orders table that relate to the current Employee record. If Access finds a single table that has a one-to-many relationship with the table or query that you used to create the form, Access adds a datasheet to the form that is based on the related table or query. For example, you can adjust the size of the text boxes to fit the data, if necessary. In Layout view, you can make design changes to the form while it is displaying data. On the Create tab, in the Forms group, click Form.Īccess creates the form and displays it in Layout view. In the Navigation Pane, click the table or query that contains the data you want to see on your form. You can start using the new form immediately, or you can modify it in Layout view or Design view to better suit your needs. When you use this tool, all the fields from the underlying data source are placed on the form. You can use the Form tool to create a form with a single mouse-click. In this articleĬreate a split form by using the Split Form toolĬreate a form that displays multiple records by using the Multiple Items toolĬreate a form by using the Blank Form tool Note: This article assumes you have already created a table (or a query based on one or more tables), and that you want to build a form to view or manipulate the data. A visually attractive form makes working with the database more pleasant and more efficient, and it can also help prevent incorrect data from being entered. An effective form speeds the use of your database, because people don't have to search for what they need. Think of bound forms as windows through which people see and reach your database. You can also add command buttons and other features to a form to automate frequently performed actions. Providing those users with a form that contains only those fields makes it easier for them to use the database. For example, certain users might need to see only several fields in a table with many fields. ![]() You can use bound forms to control access to data, such as which fields or rows of data are displayed. This article focuses primarily on bound forms. Alternatively, you can create an "unbound" form that does not link directly to a data source, but which still contains command buttons, labels, or other controls that you need to operate your application. A "bound" form is one that is directly connected to a data source such as a table or query, and can be used to enter, edit, or display data from that data source. ![]() A form in Access is a database object that you can use to create a user interface for a database application. ![]() ![]() TV and Media Work Being one of London’s leading dive centres we have been privileged to work with several television and media companies.Motor Yacht Services As the UK’s premier PADI scuba diving and travel centre, we have experience of working with local Yacht owners to some of the world’s largest super yachts.Financial Protection Financial protection is essential when booking a holiday.Travel Insurance We can recommend the best deals on travel insurance.Bucket list ideas What would you most like to see underwater?.UK Enjoy the fabulous dive sites of the UK.Liveaboards Take a look through our liveaboard diving holidays.Resorts and Hotels We have a huge range of resorts around the world that we make use of for our holidays.Design a Holiday You can design your own holiday with our trip selector.Hall of Fame We congratulate our divers for outstanding achievements in our ‘hall of fame’.Pub Nights & Lake BBQ's We have regular pub nights in Central London and for BBQ’s at the lake.UK Dive Trips We have diving trips across the UK.Oyster Club Holidays Take a look through our diving club holidays.Membership Benefits The NEW Oyster Dive Club is for people who enjoy diving and wish to mix with fun and lively people.We have partnered with to use this huge lake.

![]() ![]() Warp drives are a very interesting concept and are actually seen in a variety of science fiction franchises. Everyone is coming from far and wide to this central hub. Second, it represents the central planet of the universe in many respects. In the beginning, the landscape of the city is preserved. Coruscant is interesting for many reasons. When we explore foreign planets, we will encounter new cultures and alien races. It’s part of what’s so fascinating about these shows and movies. But, if you are a fan it should be easy to answer the quiz questions.Īny science fiction company like Star Trek or Star Wars will have a variety of interesting worlds, understandably. And in fact, the Wookies are physically more powerful than the Klingons. Klingons speak a language that is a bit more intelligible than Wookies. But as we look closer, the two alien races are very different. They both have relatively short temperatures and unparalleled strength. At the end of the day, photon torpedoes will always be a wonderful breakthrough in technology.Īt first sight, Klingons and Wookies are like beings. Over the years, we’ve seen all kinds of odd photon torpedo methods, and some are pretty smart. It’s the kind of stuff you’re using when you need a little more firepower. The word “photon torpedo” is definitely familiar to fans of a particular franchise, and this technology is highly advanced in the war against ships. How much can you score in this Star Wars quiz What are you thinking? You must try to play this quiz. The first glimpse we had on the new Star Wars movies came in the form of Finn. I an individual like how Daisy Ridley made the character. ![]() Sadly, the mere presence of Rey has pushed away some Star Wars fans as she is a Mar-Rey-Sue in their words. Starting with the young Jedi, Rey, let’s switch from the original trio to the current trio. They’re both unique and convincing, and fans of both franchises have their personal opinions on which one is better. But maybe this honor goes to the phaser in the Star Trek universe. A lightsaber is probably the best hand-held weapon in the Star Wars universe. There’s a huge difference between Star Wars and Star Trek. But what was going on in which universe? This culture represented all the themes of the unique universe of science fiction: the battle between the cold, the computational, the empiric, and the natural-traditional. These tiny creatures populated the Moon of Endor and gave the main characters a helping hand when it came to one of the biggest battles ever. What does the princess-turned-general think of you? This quiz will help you remember certain details.Įwoks was one of the best contributions to any science fiction film. Without Leia’s snark and kindness, we will always recall # OurPrincess and Star Wars will never be the same. What does the famous Jedi Knight think? Are You Sith or Jedi? He’s one of the most famous and popular fictional characters in any form, which makes us think his story in the Star Wars movies isn’t over yet. Also, we will test your knowledge in this quiz.Īlthough Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ren are the new film’s main characters, for one reason everything still goes back to Luke Skywalker. But which one will you be, Sith Lord? It can be found by taking this Star Wars quiz. That being said, there is every justification you might want to become more of a Sith Lord than you would ever want to be a Jedi Master. Who doesn’t remember this legendary scene? Not all too many Jedi with a pretty cool past that hasn’t flirted with the dark side at one time or another. And even if you’re a bigger Jedi fan and/or the rebels I’m pretty sure you can see just how much better the Sith is anyway. There’s so much interesting about the dark side that the Jedi just don’t have. This quiz is for those who want to tap into the dark side of the Force for those who want nothing more than a red lightsabre, shoot people with Force lightning and scare those who manage to survive through the lightning. Did you? If you have that, then this is certainly not your quiz, that’s for sure. You have never really cared a lot about what the rebels are doing to their lives. But you shouldn’t waste any more time and start this quiz. We will leave characters introduced in Solo off. Asking how much a character I dislike is not.Īll the characters in here were important to their films, so you won’t have to score Dexter Jettster and his 1950s cafe or Porkins, the X-Wing pilot who died in the original Star Wars. It’s true to say The Last Jedi has divided many fans. Yu Gi Oh Quiz: Don’t Get Send To The Shadow Realm.Marvel Quiz: Are You Ready For Phase 4?. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just a very disappointing trip in regard to the downhill of service, hospitality & quality of the hotel. The pool & hot tub were also closed but we were told we could pay to get massages. (The buffet was closed the whole time we were there). The places to eat were very high priced for the quality & quantity of food that was served. Cashiers were rude and you were lucky if you got through a line in 10 minutes as usually only 1 or 2 is the most, we ever seen working in the 3 days we were there. Absolutely no comps even though it had been 11 years since we had been there, we were told because they are affiliated with other casino's we had been too but yet would not use our comps from there saying they are non-transferable. Personally, they need to be like most of the other Casino's and put in the beverage machines. Upon entrance from the hotel into the casino the Employees there were very rude and trying to get a drink while at a machine unless you tipped them $5.00 each time was like going to the dentist, they were rude about the soft drinks or coffee. and we found a pair of socks in the dresser which tells us the room was never cleaned properly from the previous guest! YUCK. The wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling off the wall. ![]() The bathroom & room were outdated, the wood part on the furniture was really beat up, there was mold around the tub faucet & in the caulking on the tub. We arrived at the Hotel entrance looking the same however when we entered our room the floor was sticky and after trying all 3 lights, we finally found the bedside lamp worked, we had to call and ask for new light bulbs to be put in. We loved it so much from before and since Bus's are not taking groups decided to make this our Anniversary trip. We have stayed at the Gold Strike in previous bus trips. You did not tell me that before i booked hotel.I may add that i plan on sending a email to owners who purchased hotel about my injury and my stay at this hotel. also i went to go eat at the sports betting food place and was turned away because they said only reservations this weekend. well you owe me much more.my confirm # was 41006s3007186. by the way guest services person who only respond to these post by saying we apologize we would like a second chance to make it up to you. no nothing.i was told by a employee that new owners bought the hotel and changed a lot that explains why MGM sold it too much needs to be done and major complaints.if you care about quality and clean hotels don't stay here if you just want to gamble and don't care its for you.I have stayed here when MGM Grand had the hotel it was much better. this hotel is falling apart and in need of a full renovation.i reported my injury and room conditions to the front desk clerk who simply stated well guess services only works mon-fri she never apologized for conditions or offered a report.the casino is filled with smoke you can taste the nicotine in your mouth.the carts for your luggage is handed by the bell hops unless you get them you will not get a cart.i called back to speak to guest services whom stated the person was in a meeting and will call me in a hour 5 days later no call. there was a piece of marble tile sticking out from the wall i hurt my foot on it and took pictures. the rooms carpet is filthy its brown so unless you open the blinds you will not see the dirt.Now the bathroom toilet is so low a toddler could sit on it when you sit down you are almost on the floor. I was here for a wedding and first of all the customer service was horrible upon checking into my air clean room on the 22second floor we found that the refrigerator had food in the bottom. ![]() ![]() ![]() The vulnerability found is a Session Variable Overloading vulnerability (aka session puzzling). The vulnerability identified in the PaperCut software stems from an access control issue within the SetupCompleted java class in the pcng-server-web jar file. More on PaperCut Vulnerability CVE-2023-27350 The software is used by organizations of all sizes, including schools, universities, government agencies, and businesses. PaperCut can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud and supports a wide range of printers and operating systems. ![]() The software can be used to monitor and control printing activity, set printing policies, and generate reports on printing usage and costs. It provides features such as print job tracking, quotas, rules-based printing, and cost accounting. PaperCut is a print management software that helps organizations manage their printing environments. It is recommended that affected systems be patched immediately by updating to one of the following versions: 20.1.7, 21.2.11, or 22.0.9. It affects PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF, and is currently being exploited by threat actors. This vulnerability is a critical remote code execution flaw with a severity score of 9.8. Today, we will focus on CVE-2023-27350, which was reported by the Zero Day Initiative ( ZDI-23-233 ). ![]() On March 8th, PaperCut released new versions that contained security updates and addressed two recently discovered CVEs – CVE-2023-27351 and CVE-2023-27350.

In this screenshot from immediately after loading the font file you can see that the UI has rerendered using the downloaded font. If you see a change in the UI you can look at the requests section to identify what network request was holding back the UI update. For example, this screenshot shows the Stripe homepage just before a font finishes loading. The network timeline is especially useful to correlate requests to UI updates or CPU activity. The network section shows a request waterfall, starting with the HTML request at the top and then showing additional requests below it.Ĭlick on each request to see additional information like the full URL, request duration, resource priority, and download size. I also used network throttling to make the page render a little more gradually. The page now starts from an empty page and then gradually renders.

Starting the recording from a blank page You can hover over the filmstrip to see a screenshot from that point in time. The filmstrip recording shows the rendering progress of your website in an intuitive way. Especially on slower devices this could make the page slow to interact with. The example below is from the Asana homepage, and you can see that the CPU remains busy after the initial page load. This chart shows how busy the CPU is with different types of tasks, usually mostly JavaScript (yellow) and Layout work (purple).ĬPU activity normally becomes fairly quiet after an initial burst of activity, as you can see on the Stripe homepage. The next few sections will look at a few key components of the Performance tab and how to interpret the data in them. Overview of the the Performance tab Ī Performance profile in Chrome can get pretty complicated! But having a wide range of information available means you can correlate different types of page activity and identify the cause of a performance problem. You might prefer running performance tests in Incognito Mode, as Chrome extensions can impact site performance. The profile will stop automatically once CPU and network activity on the page stops. The easiest way to capture a performance profile is by clicking the Start profiling and reload page icon. Select the Performance tab inside Chrome DevTools. To access the Performance tab, navigate to the website you want to profile, then open Chrome DevTools by right-clicking and selecting Inspect. This article explains how to use the Performance tab to profile your site and interpret the results. You can use it to test both the initial load of your website as well as how quickly it responds to user input, as measured by Google's Interaction to Next Paint metric. The Chrome DevTools Performance tab is packed full of features that let you audit page performance in depth. ![]() ![]() ![]() According to the data, the recordings were made at different times as well as in the different African regions.

At the Phonogram Archives, I was able to access abundant audio recordings made during fieldwork by mainly European scholars and researchers, while on the other hand by travellers may also be mentioned. The saxophone, or just sax, is one of my favourite instruments and is popularly used in the genres of jazz and blues.

Can musicians pursue the legacy-and legitimacy-of classical repertoires or do they necessarily have to embrace Arabic pop culture? Finally, (3) while they were part of the elite in their home countries, how are Arab musicians considered outside their musical institutions, in their new countries such as France and the United States?

Gameplay-wise, nothing has been compromised. Which is good! For hardcore fans, OlliOlli World is still an OlliOlli game despite the major change in aesthetics. Thing is, this has been true to the first two OlliOlli games. But behind that flowing, flawless run is someone that has entered the Fujiwara Zone, flicking those analog sticks with intent, with precision and without missing a beat.
