Speech timer light box5/9/2023 ![]() Some of my other clients saw the light table and wanted to play too. I put some colored sand in the bottom of a clear container and we worked on taking turns drawing in the sand, looking at each other and commenting. I brought it back this year to work on joint attention. The light table was fun for my son and in therapy but I struggled with how to use it effectively to target goals. My only suggestion if you go this route is to avoid spraying the paint in the garage next to your husband’s car. I used Testy Yet Trying’s tutorial and bought some of the materials suggested by Play at Home mom. Pretty much any project that could also benefit my speech clients gets a green light. Although now I just justify this as teaching him the skill of being bored and good self regulation.īUT the light table I could do. I bought a sled this year and have taught my young son various ways to express the idea that it is too cold to go sledding. As it turns out, sometimes I prefer checking my Facebook status to whipping up a batch of fresh Kool-aid play doh. Had I used all my fun-ness in speech therapy? I used to be an awesome mom who had great ideas for behavior management, developmentally appropriate activities, and fun outings for the family. This was also around the time that I started having some anxiety about the lack of fun sensory experiences I’d given to my then three year old. I saw postings on Play at home mom, Testy Yet Trying and Speech Room News. Environmental Protection MaterialsThis handwriting light box adopt ABS material one-time molding, no stitching, no sharpness, safe and beautiful. ![]() Last year, there was a plethora of postings about using your own light table during therapy.

Jp morgan writedown5/9/2023 ![]() would take collateralized debt obligation (CDO)-related writeoffs of 18.7 billion US dollars in the fourth quarter, up from his previous estimate of 11 billion. Morgan Chase will need to start wielding its cost-cutting ax to offset losses from poor telecom investments and help out its coming second-quarter. Morgan was awarded the top spot across all global team. 1 According to JP Morgan data, the share of write-downs across the LCBGs. Morgan Markets gives qualified clients of the firm access to world-class analysis on economic and industry trends, timely commentary on current market conditions, as well as key data releases, interactive forecasts and moreall from the J.P. "Although we have seen many firms take the appropriate actions in recent weeks as they relate to write-downs and capital raises, we still believe it will be a couple of quarters before the current credit crisis is fully digested by the markets," the Wall Street investment bank said in a note to clients.Īnalyst William Tanona predicted Citigroup Inc. resulted in the write down of the securities or conversion of the securities to equity. LEVERAGED LOAN EXPOSURES AND MARK-TO-MARKET WRITE-DOWN RISKS OF EURO AREA LARGE. However, the bank is not hurrying to exit these positions. Rising foreclosures resulting from defaults on subprime mortgages - home loans given to people with poor credit histories - has tightened credit sharply since August. JP Morgan has taken an 820m writedown on its book of bridge loans, nearly halving its investment banking revenues for the first quarter. ![]() Goldman Sachs said it expects the financial markets would not fully absorb the current credit crises initially stemming from a US housing slump until mid-2008. Goldman Sachs on Thursday raised its fourth-quarter estimates for billion-dollar asset writedowns at Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase and Merrill Lynch as a result of squeezed credit. JPMorgan Chase provided evidence of more turbulence in financial markets, warning that stormy credit conditions had forced it to take a 1.5bn writedown on mortgage-backed assets in July.

Prayers for sleepless nights5/9/2023 ![]() Monica and I have become best friends over the years and we surely have Psalm 6:7 in common, ![]() But more often than not, it is the challenges of my children, especially my young-adult children that cause sleepless nights of both kinds. Other times of battling both sleep and spiritual struggles have accompanied health or financial worries. Pursue, and seize him! No one will come to the rescue!” My conversations (more like arguments) with God during those dark times echoed Psalm 71:9-11:ĭo not cast me aside in my old age as my strength fails, do not forsake me.įor my enemies speak against me they watch and plot against me. Of course, it took place at night, and for weeks following every night of sleeplessness brought doubts of God’s goodness and protection. I recall a truly difficult time fighting both my insomnia and spiritual challenges following the theft of our family van from our driveway. We also know that nighttime and its accompany darkness can hide real evil. There are ample verses which speak of the spiritual battle between light and dark. Why is it that in the dark of night I can so easily doubt Jesus’ loving protection? Can it be solely because I am meant to be a child of light (1 Thessalonians 5:5)? Maybe. So, it is the spiritual aspect of my late nights that seems to have no source. I know my insomnia can be traced to my gender, family genetics, as well as a side affect of my MS medications. And, for me, it is this spiritual struggle that is my real battle. And if Mom’s late-night musings are full of worrisome thoughts, doubts, and fears, her spiritual life is affected as well. When Mom isn’t sleeping well, the family life will be affected. Whether it comes from hormonal differences or not, it doesn’t matter. ![]() The Sleep Foundation tells us a number of studies prove women suffer from insomnia much more than men. I know I am not alone with this struggle. As a result, the mix of insomnia and a mother’s worries is never good - never. It also doesn’t help that I have a few young adult children trying to navigate this difficult world some with more spiritual success than others. It doesn’t help that the state of the world is what it is. But, when my insomnia makes a visit, it often has the horrible habit of bringing horrible thoughts along for the night. Gemma Galgani I wouldn’t presume that honor at all. Of course, not at all to the level of St. Over the past few decades, I have a battled more than a few nighttime demons. Rachel Watkins ponders the sleep problems she has faced, and the worries and spiritual doubts that go along with them.

Other words for understand5/9/2023 That approach seems like a logical starting point, but consider how well humans would understand the world if the only way to understand meaning was to count how often words occur near each other, without any ability to interact with other people and our environment. And if pairs of words occur together very rarely - like “table” and “planet,” - it learns that they have very different meanings. ![]() When words frequently occur together - “table” and “chair,” for example - the system learns that their meanings are related. It learns to figure out word meanings by “reading” astronomical amounts of content on the internet, encompassing tens of billions of words. The AI system the authors investigated has been frequently used in the past decade to study word meaning. ![]() They found that the AI system they studied represents the meanings of words in a way that strongly correlates with human judgment. The paper, published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, reports that artificial intelligence systems can indeed learn very complicated word meanings, and the scientists discovered a simple trick to extract that complex knowledge. A new study by researchers at UCLA, MIT and the National Institutes of Health addresses that question. Now, a newer problem related to the meaning of words has emerged: Scientists are studying whether artificial intelligence can mimic the human mind to understand words the way people do. The human mind must parse a web of detailed, flexible information and use sophisticated common sense to perceive their meaning. ![]() The study of what words really mean is ages old. In “Through the Looking Glass,” Humpty Dumpty says scornfully, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.” Alice replies, “The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things.”

Cover orange5/9/2023 ![]() Our Correct & Conceal Palette was our first ever product to launch. ![]() We help you transition your way, on your terms. I often felt frustrated that there was not a palette on the market that was designed to give a simple solution to beard shadow. If you have darker skin, use an orange colour corrector instead.īefore launching Jecca Blac as a makeup retailer, I gave makeup lessons to transfeminine clients in my safe space studio. A peach colour corrector gets rid of blue undertones of the skin, such as beard shadow. By looking at the colour wheel, you can see that opposite any dark blue shades are warm, peachy/coral shades with an orange or pinky base.Ĭolour correcting and concealing is the best way to cover beard shadow or under eye darkness. This method can be used for any areas which have a blueish undertone, such as the under eyes and any areas of beard shadow. When choosing a colour corrector, first look at the undertone of the area you’re looking to correct, then choose a pigment directly opposite on the below colour wheel to counteract the undertone and neutralise it, so that it matches the rest of your face. These vary throughout our complexion and because of this, you can layer products that counteract, brighten and neutralise any areas of concern. In our skin, there are many different colours which in the makeup industry we refer to as tones and undertones. Instead of using loads of foundation, I use the technique of colour correcting and concealing, being sure to always use cream-based formulas which are easy to blend and leave a natural finish. Beard shadow coverage was by far the most popular request from my clients. I began Jecca Blac by offering makeup lessons to transgender women and those first experimenting with their gender expression. Lessons in covering beard shadow – by Jecca Blacįor many MTF makeup wearers who wish to feminise their appearance, concealing beard shadow is an important step in a day to day makeup regime. Here, Jessica (Founder of Jecca Blac ) explains how transfeminine people can achieve a flawless base with our MTF makeup guide. We reached out to gender-free, vegan makeup brand Jecca Blac for their top tips. In the mobile version of Red Ball 4, in the costumer change screen, the player can see on the last slot (the one on the right bottom) the skin resembles an orange from "Cover Orange".When we asked our social media followers what MTF makeup tips they would find useful, one question came up time and again: How can I effectively cover beard shadow? How do I get rid of moustache shadow? In Snail Bob 3, one of the pictures in the gallery section, decipts Bob wearing an umbrella while one orange looks crying at him, possibility for thanksgiving him protecting from the stromy cloud. It's a Must Have game for the iPad, especially if you love other great physics puzzlers like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope." GamePro said, "Like other great physics puzzlers on the App Store, Cover Orange consistently adds plenty of variation to its puzzles as players progress." Touch Arcade said "I know it's not the same sort of game, but if you like Angry Birds and its ilk, I think Cover Orange will be worth your while - there's just a spiritual similarity of sorts going on there." SlideToPlay wrote "We were soundly impressed by the level design, animation, and creativity of Cover Orange HD. The HD version has a rating of 85% based on 4 critics. The game has a Metacritic score of 82% based on 8 critics. There are some stars the player can receive that boost their score: one for completing the level, one for placing down all of the stage elements within a time limit, and one for tapping a star during the acid rain downpour when it appears. If the player causes an orange to fall off the stage or get hit by the acid rain, they will be forced to restart the level. The cloud is activated by the last-placed element, so there is no changing the setup once that is done. These stage elements may vary in any way, from a triangular block to spiked balls that destroy ice to the oranges themselves. Throughout each level, the player must place downstage elements to alter the environment and protect oranges from the acid rain of an evil cloud.

Halloween season of the witch5/8/2023 ![]() Tom Atkins and Garn Stephens (who played Marge Guttman) were husband and wife at the time. ![]() The original Halloween film can be seen twice playing on two TVs during the film. The tagline "The night nobody comes home" is a play on the original Halloween movie's tagline, "The night HE came home." After this movie underperformed at the box office, the film-makers decided to bring Michael back to life for future sequels. Trivia ( Provided by IMDB and Halloween: 25 Years of Terror):Īfter Michael Myers died at the end of Halloween II, the plan by John Carpenter was to make a new "Halloween" movie each year, each telling a different Halloween-related story. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran. Synopsis: Kids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. This week we continue to discuss the series with the third, unique entry - Halloween III - Season of The Witch (1982) When a terrified toy salesman is mysteriously attacked and brought to the hospital, babbling and clutching the years most popular Halloween costume, an eerie. Last week we started our Halloween Series discussion. Producer John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) presents the third chilling installment in the shocking Halloween collection. Sure, it's got Ron Perlman head-butting a demon, but is that enough? Afraid not.Welcome back to our weekly slasher horror movie discussion. ![]() Season of the Witch could have been interesting, but it comes off as a bland blockbuster with very little to go for it. they look like cheaper versions of Doctor Who's Weeping Angels, minus the scares. ![]() As for the witches (yes, they do appear in a few scenes), well. A cameo by Christopher Lee - who actually looks more like Max von Sydow - livens things up despite its brevity (even Tim Burton has given him more screen time), and the joy of seeing him and Perlman - lovable as always - in the same movie could make up for the rest if the second half of the picture wasn't so shoddy. The acting is a similar mixed bag: Cage does his usual generic blockbuster shtick, which jars considerably with the gravitas coming from Thomsen and, to a lesser extent, Sheehan, both of whom are taking the film far more seriously than required. Setting aside factual inaccuracies, namely the fact that the Crusades, witch hunts and black plague didn't occur simultaneously (and what's with Cage's sudden bout of modern cursing in a Medieval setting?), the uneven tone kicks in after a moderately promising first half, leaving room for basic plotting that culminates in a ghastly genre switch and a most annoying "twist". The storyline certainly had enough spark to produce an interesting movie, but Sena messes with the final product by not knowing what to aim for: depending on the section, Season of the Witch is a historical drama, a thriller with hints of the supernatural or, at worst, a clumsy meld of horror and fantasy (then again, what should we expect from a film that shares its title with the third Halloween flick?). Assisted by a loyal knight (Ulrich Thomsen) and an eager youngster (Robert Sheehan), they begin a perilous journey that will test their faith in every possible way. They discover a plague-ridden landscape where witch hunts are an everyday routine, and eventually make it to a village where they encounter a priest (Stephen Campbell Moore) who needs help taking a potential witch (Claire Foy) to a monastery, where she will face trial. This time, Cage doesn't play a magician, but a crusader who, having witnessed too much bloodshed, runs off to Europe with his fellow soldier and best friend (Ron Perlman). While the latter was a by-numbers Disney effort (plenty of effects, a general lack of heart), Sena's latest work manages to also be quite a bit boring and occasionally ludicrous. A familiar combination, since Dominic Sena's Season of the Witch hits theaters only a few months after The Sorcerer's Apprentice (whose producer Jerry Bruckheimer, in the oddest of coincidences, worked with both star and director on Gone in 60 Seconds, eleven years back).
