Enhancing students’ level of geometric thinking through Van Hiele’s phase-based learning. Student input will help teachers change their teaching methods to suit the needs of the students. ![]() Furthermore, teachers should give students an opportunity to evaluate the teaching approaches used in mathematics classrooms. The use of unconventional teaching approaches such as Van Hiele theory-based instruction in the teaching and learning of Euclidean geometry is therefore recommended. It was concluded that the Van Hiele theory-based approach seems to meet students’ needs better than conventional approaches in learning Euclidean geometry. Students who were taught using a Van Hiele theory-based approach reported positive learning experiences in Euclidean geometry, while those who were taught using conventional methods reported negative learning experiences. Data were obtained using focus group discussions and student diary records. This research, therefore, examined the Euclidean geometry learning experiences of 16 Grade 11 students from four South African secondary schools. The teaching of Euclidean geometry is a matter of serious concern in South Africa. ![]()

![]() Each league will have 16 members and, in the Big Ten’s case, television rights deals that could exceed $1 billion annually. At a maximum, it could create a class of schools with huge influence over the future of college athletics.Īnd the chasm is only going to get bigger due to changes in membership: the SEC is adding powers Oklahoma and Texas from the Big 12 by 2025, and the Big Ten is expanding to California with the additions of USC and UCLA by 2024. ![]() As the gap widens, at a minimum, it could mean better facilities, more recruiting muscle and more national exposure for the universities across their athletics programs. The money is seen as critical for long-term financial health of the conferences, a key to stabilizing membership and keeping the most successful schools in the league. Donor contributions make up 28% of ACC athletic department revenue. The ACC is at 36%, but the Big Ten is at 50% and the SEC is at 61%, according to 2021 data from the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. About 37% of athletic department revenue across the FBS comes from conference distributions. The differences in those annual payouts, starting small and growing larger each year, is the revenue gap. The Big Ten, with football stalwarts Ohio State and Michigan and huge numbers of alumni from large Midwestern state schools, generated $679.8 million and distributed an average of $48.7 million to its 14 members in the 2020-21 fiscal year, even as the conference played an abbreviated football schedule. The Southeastern Conference, with football powerhouses such as Alabama, Georgia and Florida, generated $833.3 million and distributed an average of $54.6 million to its 14 members in the 2020-21 fiscal year, the last year for which financial data is available. Two of its competitors, however, have grown even quicker. Twenty years later, the league reported making $578.3 million in revenue during the 2020-21 fiscal year and distributed an average of $36.1 million to its 15 members, which included Notre Dame as a full member during the pandemic football season of 2020. The ACC brought in about $84 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001, distributing almost $8 million to each of its then-nine league members. S-XLĪll of the information above also applies for the gray shirt, expect for the fact that, well, it’s a different color.Over two decades, the ACC has seen its revenues soar as television rights have increased exponentially, not only directly for the conference-held rights to regular-season games but for postseason games in football and men’s basketball.
![]() ![]() Little Devil Inside is being developed for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Seven years later, its still not out, but thats apparently changing sometime this winter. Obviously, years have passed since then, and there was still no release date given today. It was a pretty good year for gaming, and its when Little Devil Inside was announced. ![]() Neostream originally pitched Little Devil Inside as a Kickstarter project, successfully bringing in over $230,000 to fund the game, including a stretch goal to release on Wii U. Little Devil Inside was the indie standout from last year's PlayStation Future of Games' stream, but its history goes back quite a bit further. ![]() To survive in the wild, Billy will have to fish, cook, and struggle through blizzards. Billy, the name given by the narrator, encounters all kinds of dangers like an octopus-infested indoor pool and a mechanical contraption that chases him through a tunnel. You'll talk with residents and roam around towns to find more information on your mission. In the new footage, we were treated with a view of what it's like to set out on one of these journeys, complete with a narrated train ride and traveling around the world map. This is the kind of game you should play after a long day at work :)Watch Little Devil Inside Trailer & Gameplay before you buy. After falling off the radar, it finally resurfaced last month with a brand new trailer. We then heard at the end of 2017 that the team had interest in bringing the game to Switch. Though, the critters and beasts of Little Devil Inside are more extraordinary than those in the real world, many of which are supernatural. Back in 2015, Neostream announced its action adventure RPG Little Devil Inside, and successfully raised funding through Kickstarter, which included a Wii U stretch goal. Set in a somewhat Victorian world, you'll set off into the wilderness on research assignments at the behest of a university professor. We will be announcing further plans and details as they become unlocked.Today's PlayStation State of Play showcase ended with Neostream Interactive's quirky action-adventure game Little Devil Inside. With over 40 party members to meet, people and dimensions will intertwine in this epic. So to clarify, a release for PS5/PS4 and PC is our top priority with other console platforms to follow after the exclusivity period expires. CHRONO CROSS is an RPG that transcends time and space, unfolding across two interlinked parallel worlds. This move DOES NOT affect our plans to release for PC and we will do our very best to release for PC at the same time as PS5. We have also received direct inquiries where many of you are confused about how this affects the release for PC.

Little Devil Inside is in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox One. Unfortunately, we are not able to disclose the actual term of the exclusivity yet.Īs many of you know, we originally hoped for an all platform, concurrent release but for many reasons which we learned the hard way, this just was not possible. The world of Little Devil Inside is set in a Victorian-like era when industrial advancements are well underway. With the partnership in place with PlayStation, Little Devil Inside will be coming to the PlayStation 5 Systems (PS5) as a PlayStation "Timed" Exclusive title which means that the game will be available only on PS5 and no other consoles for a limited time, after which, it will be available on other consoles. ![]() ![]() Most combined gas mask filters will last around 8 hours in a biological or chemical situation. The gas mask only protects the user from digesting, inhaling, and contact through the eyes (many agents affect through eye contact). Most gas masks are also respirators, though the word gas mask is often used to refer to military equipment (such as a field protective mask), the scope used in this article. The mask forms a sealed cover over the nose and mouth, but may also cover the eyes and other vulnerable soft tissues of the face. Army soldier ( USAWC photo) Indian muleteers and mule wearing gas masks, France, FebruA Polish MUA gas mask, used in the 1970s and 1980sĪ gas mask is an item of personal protective equipment used to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne pollutants and toxic gases. 1915 Zelinsky–Kummant protivogaz, designed in 1915, was one of the first modern-type full-head protection gas masks with a detachable filter and eyelet glasses, shown here worn by U.S. For peacetime uses, including masks designed to filter gasses and particles, see elastomeric respirator. Most of these camps used Zyklon B as the killing agent in their gas chambers.For the mask used to inhale the gas through, see Mask § Functional masks. The gas chambers were relatively small, constructed to kill those prisoners the Nazis deemed "unfit" to work. Gassing Operations: Oral History Excerpts Concentration CampsĬoncentration camps like Stutthof, Mauthausen, Sachsenhausen, and Ravensbrück, although not designed specifically as killing centers, also had gas chambers. They proved the quickest gassing method and were chosen as the means of mass murder at Auschwitz.Īt the height of the deportations in 1943–44, an average of 6,000 Jews were gassed each day at Auschwitz. Zyklon B pellets, converted to lethal gas when exposed to air. At the Auschwitz camp in German-occupied Poland, they conducted experiments with Zyklon B (previously used for fumigation) by gassing some 600 Soviet prisoners of war and 250 ill prisoners in September 1941. The Nazis constantly searched for more efficient means of extermination. The tighter the gas chambers were packed, the faster the victims suffocated. As victims were "unloaded" from cattle cars, they were told that they had to be disinfected in "showers." The Nazi and Ukrainian guards sometimes shouted at and beat the victims, who were ordered to enter the "showers" with raised arms to allow as many people as possible to fit into the gas chambers. These gas chambers used carbon monoxide gas generated by diesel engines. In 1942, systematic mass killing in stationary gas chambers began at Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka, all in German-occupied Poland. Jews from the Lodz area of German-occupied Poland and Roma were killed there in mobile gas vans. In 1941, the SS concluded that the deportation of Jews to killing centers (to be gassed) was the most efficient way of achieving the " Final Solution." That same year, the Nazis opened the Chelmno camp in German-occupied Poland. Einsatzgruppen gassed hundreds of thousands of people, mostly Jews, Roma (Gypsies), and mentally ill people. ![]() ![]() Use of gas vans began after Einsatzgruppe members complained of battle fatigue and mental anguish caused by shooting large numbers of women and children. Gas vans were hermetically sealed trucks with engine exhaust diverted to the interior compartment. Gas VansĪfter the June 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union and Einsatzgruppe mass shootings of civilians, the Nazis experimented with gas vans for mass killing. These killing centers used pure, chemically manufactured carbon monoxide gas. Six gassing installations were established as part of the Euthanasia Program: Bernburg, Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hadamar, Hartheim, and Sonnenstein. Euthanasia ProgramĪ Nazi euphemism, "euthanasia" referred to the systematic killing of those Germans whom the Nazis deemed "unworthy of life" because of mental illness or physical disability. The Nazis began experimenting with poison gas for the purpose of mass murder in late 1939 with the killing of patients with mental and physical disabilities in the Euthanasia Program. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, with a bit of timing you can stay out past 2am and avoid this unfortunate circumstance. You know how the moment 2am arrives on the clock your character yawns and passes out? You know how it's super annoying, because whoever comes and "saves" you also takes a portion of your funds for the trouble?

Stop time while fishingįor this trick, you'll need to have an active quest in your journal. Now you can leave, and - because the game inexplicably thinks you're still swimming - you'll have infinite Energy. Do this by exiting the game's boundaries in the Spa, heading to the pool, placing down a post of any kind in the water, and then touching it. There are all sorts of uses for this glitch, but one of the most useful is to give yourself infinite Energy by tricking the game into thinking you're swimming. You can use this to glitch yourself beyond the boundaries of certain places, by pressing yourself up against the edge and swinging your weapon rapidly until you eventually break through to the "other side". Infinite Energy glitchĮvery you swing a weapon, your character moves forward very slightly.

"Bicycle crunches are a core exercise that helps activate and strengthen your rectus abdominis, obliques and hip flexor muscles," Wickham says."Those that have low back pain or a low back injury or neck pain should typically avoid performing the bicycle crunch exercise," Grayson Wickham, DPT, CSCS, physical therapist and founder of Movement Vault, tells. Press your lower back to the ground, engage your core to lift your shoulder blades off the ground, and bring your right. Who can do bicycle crunches? This move is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to strengthen their obliques and rectus abdominis (the "six-pack" muscle) with one exercise. How to Do Bicycle Crunches Lie on your back with your legs out straight, and interlace your fingers behind your head, gently resting your head on.This exercise incorporates both trunk rotation (side-to-side motion) and flexion (the ability to bend forward). To do a bicycle crunch correctly, lie on your back with your hands behind your head (elbows out wide) and rotate your torso as you touch your elbow to your opposite knee, all while your legs move in a pedaling motion.

![]() ![]() If I'm in Lightroom and want to apply effects, then I need to open Photoshop or another external editor. What this does for me is it presents me with opportunities that I might not have thought to explore otherwise. Similarly, there are some tools that Lightroom has, or work differently than Luminar. What I mean by that is that Luminar has certain tools at hand that Lightroom doesn't. I've mentioned before that I feel like editing images in Luminar creates a more organic workflow for me. While that might be interesting if you wanted to pixel peep, for me it's far more about how is my style changing and how using a different tool can influence the results. I have a memory of what the original edit looked like, but otherwise, try to approach things from the perspective of what do I feel the image needs, and where do I want to take it? What this means is that my comparisons are deliberately meant not to be as close a match as possible. ![]() As much as this exercise is an exploration of a new tool, I'm also using it as an opportunity to let my style change and to see how I chose to process the images today. It's important to note that I deliberately don't look at the old image while I'm working on a re-edit. Because of the heavier edit, as well as using another Macphun product I thought it would be interesting to see how I would approach things today in Luminar. I'm pleased with these results, and I feel like it's an evolution of my style.įor the Peggy's Cove shot, I'd originally edited the photo in Lightroom, touched it up in Photoshop for removing some of the garbage in the water, and then finally applied a dramatic effect using Macphun's Intensify. I'd shared my previous editing steps for that shot on this blog already, and it was the start of a move to a more heavily post-processed style that I seem to be moving toward with my Florence shots and using Luminar. As part of my explorations of Luminar, I wanted to take another look at my Peggy's Cove shot from earlier in the year. ![]() |
