Last stop on market street activities4/30/2024 ![]() I want to live on Market Street, a testament to the beauty, amid the “dirt,” that its creators witnessed there. ![]() Rogers’ Neighborhood (and Sesame Street)–celebrations of vibrant city life and loving communities. This book made me think of Ezra Jack Keats’ The Snowy Day, another beautiful story about a simple day, as well as Mr. Narration features rhymes and rhythms that float across pages like improvisational jazz, perfectly suited for reading aloud again and again. The language conveys CJ’s and Nana’s voices in realistic, imperfect syntax, capturing spoken word. Simple shapes, gestures, and details convey surprising depths of emotion with what appear to be a few strokes. The mixed-media art looks like cut paper layered and painted or colored to create a bright, textured cityscape. Answer key included.The Last Stop on Market Street Word Search highlights these important words from the text:CJNanacitybutterfliesMr. With 15 key words relevant to the text, it would be fun as a bell ringer, early finisher, or post-reading activity. “Sometimes when you’re surrounded by dirt, CJ, you’re a better witness for what’s beautiful.” This is a FREE word search for the picture book Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pena. My favorite line comes after CJ asks about “crumbling sidewalks and broken-down doors, / graffiti-tagged windows and boarded-up stores.” The illustrations show a cityscape, but a flock of grey and black pigeons flying across the front of buildings and a fence prepare for Nana’s answer: He wondered how his nana always found beautiful where he never even thought to look. On the bus, CJ and his Nana interact with a variety of people, and Nana sees the beauty in each person. ![]() Dennis the bus driver has a magic trick for CJ.) In the illustration, the bus has the image of a fire-breathing dragon along its side, merging imagination with reality the way young children do. Dennis, who always has a trick for you.” (Sure enough, Mr. His grandmother answers with grace: “We got a bus that breathes fire, and old Mr. Along the way, CJ asks his grandmother questions like “How come we gotta wait for the bus in all this wet?” and “Nana, how come we don’t got a car?” This deceptively simple story, with equally deceptively simple pictures by Christian Robinson, chronicles the journey of a little boy, CJ, and his grandmother across town by bus. Apparently, some commentators think that diversity can’t exist simultaneously with quality. With 35 print-and-go reading activities to choose from, this resource is ideal for customizing learning to your student’s specific needs and academic abilities. Of course, even with a book this lovely, there’s controversy. This picture book companion is a complete supplemental resource for the read-aloud book Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Peña. ![]() If you haven’t, pick it up, because it’s gorgeous. Have you read Last Stop on Market Street yet? It’s the first picture book AND the first Latino author, Matt de la Pena, to ever win the Newberry medal. ![]()

Nier automata 2b ass hentai4/30/2024 ![]() ![]() I don't agree with complete censorship, no. Tl dr, He knew people would be pissed off about it, he knew people wouldn't for ~reasons~, and he knew people would talk about it, and that conversation about our culture of objectification was actually the goal.Ĭlick to shrink.When I say "balanced", I'm referring to games with strong, non-sexualized characters, like Horizon: Zero Dawn vs games that feature sexualized women for no apparent rhyme or reason other than "the developer likes girls", such as Automata. It makes a person post a forum post asking why this is okay, but everything else isn't.Īnd that's why nobody gets up in arms about it. It makes those who might ask themselves questions about what sexualization means. It makes those who don't care see exactly what they always see. It is the very abstract of that objectification and sexualization. The reason people don't get up in arms about 2B is that it is not the same as women being sexualized and objectified in media. Or perhaps, with context, but bereft of culture.ĩS sees "kill." Because killing feels to them as fucking feels to us. Banging their would-be-groins against other robots. The robots do the same thing near the beginning of the game. But culture as it is has sex fully ingrained within. Maybe it's not women, maybe it's not men, maybe it's just an abstract. YOU think "fuck," because you, like all humans, sexualize things as a matter of course. They might understand, at an academic level, how babies are made, but lack the cultural context to turn "sexual intercourse" into "fuck," or even turns "Sexual intercourse" from something we do for its explicit purpose (make babies) to something that we do for recreation. To the outsider, and to the player immediately seeing it, they would think "****" means "fuck," but the androids lack that capacity, they do not know what that is. "You want to **** 2B, don't you?"īut it's made clear to the player (well before then, but maybe not immediately), what "****" doesn't mean. And critique involves establishing in words what he does in abstract.Īnd the reason I know that is the question posed to 9S. Yoko Taro doesn't pose an answer to this, here. Bereft of that context, they continually make androids that look like the quintessential abstract that is beauty as it was, before humanity went effectively extinct. They fight and kill and die to satisfy the urges that were programmed into them, to serve humans. And her presentation throughout the game is exactly that. And I have absolutely zero doubt that it was on accident, or only because "Taro Yoko likes girls."ĢB was made FOR the controversy, as an addendum to it, a representation of objectification. The androids' designs are what they are because they are pleasant to look like. Beauty for humans' sake, for they do not understand it. But the androids do not know beauty, they cannot understand, explicitly, the abstraction that it is. It is fitting, then, that the sexualized beauty that is 2B and A2 and YorHa in general, and all of the other androids, bear that same standard of beauty as we have today, as cultural norms stopped changing after the White Chlorination stuff.Īndroids were designed to serve, and serve humans they do. The Venus of any particular time is a window into what beauty was to those cultures. So his answer to the question here is that he likes girls, but it is borne out in-game as "humanity likes girls," and that is undeniable. Our history is full of expression of beauty in female form, and androids throughout the game were made for that in particular. It's not just that Taro Yoko likes girls, it's that culture glorifies beauty. But we also just had a thread on this ( Why women criticise sexualised character designs)that delves a little deeper into why devs feel the need to design women as they do.īecause this is a deconstruction of that trope. So why did Taro design her this way? Yeah, he likes girls. Shouldn't she be in, like, a combat uniform? Armor, maybe? The mobility aspect I understand, but that doesn't mean her skirt should be so revealing as to allow the player (and give them an achievement for it) to look up her skirt, or simply pan the camera around to the front to see her underwear. The lower half is just.where do I start? The slit in the side is pretty tasteless, considering the history of sexualized women in games and women in games in general, and it's also pretty non-functional for a combat android who prides herself in her physical prowess and fighting ability. The top half of her design is great, even though I don't really understand the blindfold or how that works. ![]() I get it, but I don't agree with it, nor is the game as a whole less deserving of criticism. Taro put android ass in the game because he likes it. Even though I loved Nier: Automata and I find 2B's overall aesthetic to be ace, her design is stupid and the panty shots are unnecessary. ![]()

Tut’s Tomb (aka King Tut): Players deal 3 cards at a time from the stock & can repeatedly shuffle through the deck.Relaxed Pyramid: Games can be won with cards left in the stock.This game does not have an undo button, so make sure you look the board over before eacy play.In other cases you may make pairs on the deck in order to access cards you have already went past so that they can be used on new parts of the pyramid which have been exposed.If you know you will not be able to complete the pyramid then it can make sense to score a few extra points by making pairs from within the deck you shuffle through.In some cases it can be beneficial to look one or two rows up on the pyramid to see what pairs you will be able to make using those cards and which side of the pyramid you should work on first.In most cases it is generally better to make pairs off of cards that are on the pyramid rather than using cards from the deck, as you can go through the deck 3 times to revisit cards, but the pyramid is 7 levels deep.The time limit encourages you to quickly work your way through this game.Across the top of the game there are 5 buttons with the following functions: developer info, full screen mode, play advice, restart game, and quit game.The bottom center of the screen shows how many deals you have left inclusive of the current deal up until the last card, then exclusive of the current deal.When you beat a game or lose it will show your score and offer buttons to replay another round or go back to the game’s welcome screen.Underneath the cards at the bottom of the screen it shows how many deals you have left. If you have already went through the deck 3 times and can not make any more plays and there are still cards left on the pyramid you lose. You can shuffle through the deck up to three times.When all the cards are removed from the pyramid you won.Finishing the game quickly can also score bonus points.The bottom left corner of the game shows your current score (exclusive of time bonus).Each row you remove from the pyramid is also worth additional points.You can score points from making pairs on the pyramid, pairs in the deck, or a combination of the two.Each pair you make (or king you click) is worth 5 points.When you are at the end of the deck click the rounded arrow button to reshuffle.Unlike Microsoft solitaire this game does not have an undo button, so be careful not to double click and accidentally scroll past a card you need to play.When no pairs can be made click the blue button with a white arrow on it to shuffle the deck of cards. ![]() Click on kings or pairs which add up to 13.Remove all cards from the pyramid by joining cards which add up to 13.The game welcome screen also has 3 buttons across the top with developer information, enter or exit full screen mode, and sound control.You can scroll through them using the left and right arrows near the instructions, or click the blue and white play button again to start the game. This will bring up the game overview help instructions.Click on the blue and white play button at the bottom of the screen.Click on Kings (valued at 13) and click on pairs of cards which sum up to 13 to try to remove all cards from the pyramid starting with the exposed cards in the bottom row. ![]()

Compressed video file formats4/30/2024 ![]() This is where multi-format encoding comes in handy, allowing us to produce video content that is compatible with a wide range of platforms and devices – smartphones, tablets, desktops, and smart TVs – making it easier to reach a broader audience. Not all platforms and devices support the same containers, codecs, or compression formats. In other cases, we may limit the video quality to optimize our storage and throughput, especially when we have limited storage space and bandwidth resources. In some cases, we may prioritize video quality over file size to provide high-quality video content to viewers with strong internet connections. Video encoding allows us to choose between the tradeoffs of video quality and file size, depending on the specific needs of our audience and the resources available to us. By reducing the size of the file, video content can be transmitted more quickly over the internet, making it possible to stream high-quality videos with low bandwidth requirements. Video compression is the primary technique used in video encoding, which involves the removal of redundant frames from the video stream to reduce the size of the file. Let's find out the several that incorporating video encoding techniques in our video production can provide. Video encoding: How does it empower your video production? By utilizing these techniques, you can easily address critical factors such as smooth streaming over any network and issues related to quality, compatibility, and storage.

Elevation map camino de santiago4/29/2024 ![]() ![]() Having got wise to the germanic devotion to the 'Pine Plantation Plod" I started to take evasive action and struck out on my own. ![]() After a few weeks on the German leg of my journey I got fed up with being repeatedly diverted to go up (very UP) hill or rack up additional kms simply to walk through more interminable blooming 'Foret'. If you like the trail, stick to it, but be open to modifying the route a bit to suite your taste." "You need to ask yourself here and there, what would the original pilgrims have done? Would they climb up to that radio tower for the view or continued walking along this perfectly fine river? There are some places where the marked route goes out of the way simply because a pre-existing hiking trail was there. ![]() Just remember that paper, especially coated paper used for color printing, is the heaviest substance known to man. Am I still going the right way? Did I miss a turn somewhere? So, a map can be helpful. Lastly, there were a number of points on the GR65 where, owing to the occasionally long interval between marks, one is unsure whether one is on the right track. So, when another route crosses the GR65, as the GR 6 does, the marks are not differentiated.Īdditionally, one will encounter regional and local walking routes, marked with the same shapes but in different colors (blue/white, red/yellow) which may be confusing and distracting, at a time when you are having quite enough difficulty following the main route. This style of routing is driven by the preponderant French recreational walking style: walk a GR for two weeks while on holiday with a group of friends.Īnd I will also point out that every French GR route is marked with exactly the same red-and-white balises. The French are notorious for walking around three sides of the square when one side would have sufficed. No, it will not be clear when you are being sent on a scenic route. ![]()
