![]() ![]() I get much more enthusiasm for spelling practice with these games. Feel like stacking (a la Upwords)? That’s ok with us too. We score 1 point/tile laid down, another point for each tile in a word you crossed and I give an extra five if you create a word that uses (and you verbalize) a spelling rule we’ve worked on. We’ll each take 15 tiles to start and spell words, allowing crossovers. For my advanced students, I can use the soup tiles for a free form Scrabble game (similar to Bananagrams ). In short, there are lots of ways to work on manipulation of sound.Īdvanced Tailoring: One of the tough aspects of commercial spelling games is the jump from super, super easy (in essence, strictly a matching task) to shockingly complex. For instance, if our word was “bed” and they spelled “b-blank-d” we might talk about how that could also represent “bid” or bad.” The blank “wild” tiles are awesome since we had a chance to talk about what other word that spelling might represent. Having me spell the same word also allowed me to make some “errors” that they would later correct. Regardless, we both spelled the same word (there are plenty of tiles for this). I simply grabbed a dry erase board and we did some decoding, or maybe we tried a few sight words. Scooped a fly? All of your tiles go back in the pot, even those you had in your spelling line.Ī Tailored Approach: The issue I was having is that the word choices either weren’t easy enough or hard enough or specifically targeting the rules we had addressed. Each player draws a card, decides which of the five words they plan to spell and then you’re off! Players scoop tiles with their ladle, sort the letters, take what they need and dump those they don’t back in the pot. The “Real” Way to Play: There’s a big soup pot of letter tiles, including several blanks (“wild”) and two orange flies (ick). Spell the biggest word (legitmate words only) (1 pt for each letter used). ![]() Spell any animal name (ex: dog, cat, turtle, etc.) (10 pts). ![]() Spell I love my mommy (or daddy) (25 pts). With a couple of modifications, it’s been perfect! Spell the name of two people in your group (5 pts). I bought the Scrabble Alphabet Scoop game a few years ago, used it a few times and then it just sort of got lost in the back of the closet.īut I’ve been working on spelling with some students and I hunted it down to see if it would work for my current kiddos. ![]()

![]() ![]() Keen to recalibrate your career, business or life balance? Let’s turn the wheel together (excuse the pun!).Sometimes I think we coaches get so used to seeing “ The Wheel of Life” that we forget it’s still new for most of our clients. ![]() Like activist and writer Thomas Merton I’m convinced that “Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.” I’m a fan of small but significant steps over sweeping changes. ![]() Once we’ve identified the need to do things differently we can impose some pretty rigid new rules in our quest for quick results. Many of us are inclined to give ourselves a hard time about the things we see as flaws or failings. Be gentle with yourself as you rebalance your time and resources. Choosing to take a positive perspective also prompted me to pat myself on that same back for my many personal and business achievements since my last birthday!ĭoing the wheel of life can energise and motivate you to change. It worked! I found myself feeling especially grateful for my lovely generous spirited partner and the skilful, caring health professionals who are helping me manage my back injury. Knowing I’m prone to lapsing into negatives around goals I haven’t met in the previous year I was curious to test the ‘positives only’ approach. I did this at my recent birthday review with great results. I also find a pre birthday review often reveals some interesting insights.Īs an experiment, ask a friend to work with you on only talking about the positives in each life area. I recommend a review every few months as well as whenever something major shifts in your life. Repeating the wheel of life can help you keep track of your bigger picture while staying focused on the details. This infographic illustrates the steps very clearly. Set some SMART goals to help you bridge the gap. Reflect on what you need to do to get there. Having marked where you are for each area, mark where you want to be in terms of fulfilment or time spent. NOTE: How happy or fulfilled do you feel given the amount of time you spend in each area? Do you need to review some areas? Reflect on whether you have the right balance between the segments you shaded as important. Once you’ve completed this initial review: NOTE: This will help you assess if you are spending enough time on the most important areas of your life. The closer the line is to the centre, the less time you are spending. The less shading outwards, the lower score for that area.ģ. Bolding the line on one of the inner circles in each area of the wheel to show how much time you spend on each area. Shading each pizza slice from the inside outwards showing how important each area is to you, or how happy or fulfilled you currently feel there. NOTE: Alternatively you might examine a single area such as how you spend your working day.Ģ. Labelling the segments with key areas of your life such as career, friends, family, finances etc. Working on my health has to be a regular thing, not just something I pick up when back pain strikes.ġ. Straight away, I knew I needed to shift my mindset. This triggered a wheel of life review to discover where minding my health sat as a priority in my busy ‘business focused’ life. Recently my ongoing back injury flared up. It can also confirm where you’ve got the current balance right. The wheel of life can highlight where change will give you better balance. If you feel your life is out of balance, marking up a wheel of life template can give you a blueprint for setting things to rights. This simple, flexible tool helps you identify where you spend most of your time and how satisfied you are with this arrangement. My career and entrepreneur coaching clients also find it really useful for recalibrating their personal and professional balance. I use it often to check for gaps and overload in key areas in my life. ![]() The Wheel Of Life is a much-loved coaching tool. ![]() ![]() ![]() Outriders studio People Can Fly laid off more than 30 employees in January, and League of Legends company Riot Games laid off 530 employees. Also in January, Destroy All Humans remake developer Black Forest Games reportedly laid off 50 employees and Microsoft announced it was laying off 1,900 employees across its Xbox, Activision Blizzard, and ZeniMax teams as well. ![]() At the end of January, we learned Embracer Group had canceled a new Deus Ex game in development at Eidos-Montréal and laid off 97 employees in the process. These job cuts join a string of other disheartening 2024 layoffs, which total more than 5,500 in just the first two months of the year. Supermassive is, however, developing Little Nightmares III, which is due out this year. Last month, PlayStation announced that an Until Dawn remake is coming to PS5 and PC later this year, although UK developer Ballistic Moon is the primary team working on that. Despite developing PlayStation exclusives like Until Dawn, Supermassive is part of Nordisk Games. 9GkgIrYQvtīloomberg reports that Supermassive is made up of 300 employees, meaning laying off 90 people would equal a roughly 30 percent reduction in staff. It would be good if you listened to the community, and especially if you started playing your own game.A statement from Supermassive Games. The Warrior Awakening is almost at the same level as it was 5-6 years ago. Meanwhile, all the classes have evolved enormously. It's been 5-6 years that the Warrior Awakening has been nerfed or had useless spells added to it. There are also the Ninja, Kuno, the Striker well, he buffs almost every week, we see the result whether we have gear or not, we die just as quickly. The Berserkers, you have to be full AP to deal damage to them, they touch us once and we disappear (even though they have a double Cadry set, but with 10 times the damage of the Warrior). The Valkyries are unkillable we combo them, they get up and heal themselves, like the Drakania. For CC or grabs, it depends more on RNG (or the FPS level they have, congratulations to Nvidia Inspector and Lasso). The other classes, let's talk about them, they've been buffed and not just a little. With the Warrior Awakening, we have to ruin our fingers to play, while a large part of the other classes can almost be played by hitting their head on the keyboard. ![]() We're certainly a rather mobile class, but how do we manage to be mobile currently when you've increased the distance of everyone's spells, you've increased the movement speed of almost all classes in the last 3 years. In invincibility, we have 0.2s on a dash every 3s. Among the block classes, it's the one with the least protection in S.A. You've added excessive S.A.s and invincibilities to other classes. You've buffed the other classes so much that we're left with a very difficult class to play with a crappy kit. The Warrior Awakening was a fairly balanced class, it just lacked a complete S.A. The 100% last time I used it was 5 years ago, it was crap, well it hasn't changed. Our block is like a piece of paper, great for a class heavily dependent on guards before. So it's like 99% of the additions you have for the Warrior Awakening, it's crap. We can't combo because we only have guards before. The spell activates when we hit someone against 3 or 6 people currently, either we die standing or we get CC'd. We don't have the kit to be in the midst of 3 or 6 people. However, for the Warrior Awakening, we're experiencing an old change: the passive on Flaming Will is a nerf in 1v1 since we lose 5s of speed buff, against 3 or 6 enemies it's crap. Hello, when are you going to properly buff the Warrior Awakening? All the classes in the game are being excessively buffed, even the Warrior Succession. ![]() ![]() ![]() These resources are fully earned in Gate of the Void game modes, which unlock when any of your heroes reach E5, and each hero also gains a new passive skillset. It is entirely predictable as you can use the original heroes to switch to Void heroes if there are enough resources. ACCESS TO GATE OF THE VOIDĪs mentioned above, Void heroes are new members of the list of Idle Heroes heroes, but they have entirely familiar names like Xia, Halora, and Asmodel. The arena will help you meet many powerful enemies who are other players. In addition, you’ll also be able to test your team’s strength with modes like the Tower of Oblivion, where each floor will have monsters waiting for you that you must overcome. Some other modes that can help you get some five-star heroes if you’re lucky, like Brave Trial when you compete with other opponents in the server, Raid gathers resources to change heroes. At the same time, the primary mode you will often find is a campaign where you will need to overcome many different levels and defeat many enemies to find better resources to mine automatically. An interesting point about this game is that each mode will require a specific aspect of strength such as survival level, team strength, and many other factors. ![]() The challenges that you experience in Idle Heroes are completely diverse, and you will need to take time to overcome them. OVERCOME MANY CHALLENGES TO FIND RESOURCES AND HEROES In addition, they also consume a copy of the heroes you want to upgrade and many other materials. At the same time, the higher the level, the more you will unlock more powerful skills to confront other enemies in the game modes. In addition, you will use the resources you have to upgrade their level quickly, and when the five-star heroes reach 100, things do not stop there.Īn interesting feature for five-star heroes is that they will continue to upgrade to higher tiers, such as six stars representing a purple star or E representing a yellow star. Also, the basic summoning mechanics or through the Compass of the Transcended give you the chance to summon powerful five-star characters. Specifically, you can collect their puzzle pieces, and when enough, they will be sent to your team. UPGRADE YOUR CHARACTER’S STRENGTHĬharacters can be summoned in different ways in Idle Heroes. It can be said that this is a battle of strength and tactics. In addition, the yellow energy bar at the bottom of each character’s health will be filled through regular attacks and activated immediately after. At the same time, you will not need to be too concerned about the control element because these characters will automatically attack until one side is defeated. You will see a team’s front and back rows to choose the characters suitable for different positions. In addition, a system that appeared later has only three characters, Void, and the number of characters of this faction is also increasing. At the same time, these systems all have certain relationships that you will need to pay attention to when choosing a character when confronting the enemy. The lineup includes six characters of different factions: shadow, fortress, abyss, and many others. Players will overcome various challenges in Idle Heroes with the heroes they own and summon through various mechanics. At the same time, some characters have been balanced in terms of strength, so you will need to update their strength to find a suitable new strategy when many new characters appear in the game. New limited skins have just been added for you to collect, and of course, these skins can add up to an impressive power for the character wearing them. In the new version of Idle Heroes, players will find many exciting bonuses and mechanics that they will not be able to ignore. At the same time, you will certainly not be able to ignore the Void characters and related modes to own this impressive form of power. You’ll spend time uncovering these characters’ strengths and letting them take on a variety of enemies in different game modes. Idle Heroes is a game where players will find many heroes with different strengths to form a team of six. ![]() ![]() Researching Jobs & Internships Open sub-navigation Close sub-navigation.Search for a Job or Internship Open sub-navigation Close sub-navigation.Short-Term Experiences for Summer Open sub-navigation Close sub-navigation. ![]() Jobs & Internships Open sub-navigation Close sub-navigation.Industry Guides Open sub-navigation Close sub-navigation.Graduate School Guide Open sub-navigation Close sub-navigation. ![]()
![]() According to this data microprocessor compares the results and chooses the correct angle of servo that controls the direction of UGV. Compass module also calculates the current heading value that shows the angle between north and course. The working principle of unmanned ground vehicle is as follows: At the beginning, waypoints or earth coordinates are loaded to PIC microcontroller, GPS module calculates the new position for every 200 ms to find current angle between North and line between the current position and destination\waypoint. For this purpose, designed and constructed unmanned ground vehicle location is obtained by using GPS and compass and the microcontroller is utilized as a control / decision makers. In this study, tracking of waypoint by autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) have been studied. Unmanned vehicle has to do all operations without operator and has all capabilities as the operator controlled. In recent years, unmanned vehicles have been quite popular for the researchers and that vehicles are still being developed by the researchers and engineers. The two modes of navigation are AUTONOMOUS AND MANUAL navigation. It receives commands from the PC and acts according to the command to navigate. The Microcontroller is used to control the DC, Stepper motors and read values of the IR sensors and ULTRASONIC sensor. All the above systems are controlled by the Microcontroller. The infrared sensors are used to avoid obstacles. The project is mainly used in the DEBRIS for Earth quake rescue and in war fields internally it consists of IR sensors. Here we are using PIR sensor for detection. This Robot follows which is drawn over the surface. This Project deals with live personal detection robot is based on Microcontroller. ![]() So the project proposes an autonomous robotic vehicle that moves in the earthquake prone area and helps in identifying the alive people and rescue operations. ![]() Detection by rescue workers becomes time consuming and due to the vast area that gets affected it becomes more difficult. A timely rescue can only save the people who are buried and wounded. Hence a lot of times humans are buried among the debris and it became impossible to detect them. ![]() Earthquakes produce a devastating effect and they see no difference between human and material. Still there are lots of disasters that occur all of a sudden and Earthquake is one such thing. But humans are becoming increasingly aware in the concept of intelligent rescue operations in such calamities so that precious life and material can be saved though calamities cannot be stopped. Natural calamities do occur and they are unstoppable. ![]() ![]() ![]() It also does not come with a LiPo battery or charger. With the Ultra shocks that come on the VXL, the truck would nose down when it would leave the jump. ![]() I find that adjusting the rear suspension can help the truck pop off jumps nice and level. This will allow you to lower or raise the ride height. The GTR shocks are really nice! You can adjust them by twisting the spring collars at the top of the shock. All you need to worry about is charging the batter and hitting the road. You don’t have to try and figure out which part number you need, how to take apart the truck, and put the new parts in. The best part is the Slash 4×4 Ultimate arrives fully assembled with all the upgraded parts pre-installed. Anodized 6061-T6 aluminum rear hub carriers.Anodized 6061-T6 aluminum steering blocks.ProGraphix body in various pant schemes.Telemetry-ready 5-channel 2.4GHz micro receiver.Performance-optimized dark charcoal gray low-CG chassis.The Slash Ultimate comes with the following upgraded parts installed: Finally, the chassis is not the low CG chassis you will find on the Ultimate. It comes with Ultra shocks and plastic shock caps. The VXL does not have metal steering components OR adjustable aluminum GTR shocks. The key difference between the VXL and Ulmitate are the shocks, chassis, and metal steering parts. The Ultimate model also has the same motor and ESC powering it. The VXL Slash is a brushless four-wheel drive truck that comes with the Velineon VXL 3S motor and ESC. But, each model will cost more because of the upgraded parts. ![]() So the Slash 4×4 is good, the VXL is better, and the Ultimate is best. When you compare the VXL to the base model Slash (4×4 version, not the 2WD version), the motor and the ESC is the main difference. The Slash VXL 4×4 comes with an upgraded motor and ESC. They call it the “Ultimate Edition” because it has almost every hop-up part Traxxas has to offer. The main difference between them is the Ultimate has a lot of upgraded parts. Traxxas Ultimate vs VXL: Whats In The Boxīoth the Ultimate Edition Slash and the VXL 4X4 are 1/10 scale 4WD short course trucks. ![]() ![]() If that's not the case, you still have options.

Traditionally, mood boards were made from foam board. When it comes to making a physical mood board, don't be afraid to get, well, physical. Think about how a person viewing your mood board solely via email would view it, and make sure that they will be able to follow its flow.

This can make it much easier for a client to interpret your ideas.
