Building a Contact Listĭozens of application types require the storage and retrieval of contact information for other people, such as a CRM system, a time tracking app, accounting, or any of a number of other things. Beyond this, it doesn't make much difference what people call it. It's easiest to call Backbone.js a member of the MV* family. But it doesn't quite fit into an MVC pattern, or MVVM pattern, or MVP, or anything else. It provides a set of objects that help to organize models and views, after all. Backbone.js fits within the Model-View- MV family of patterns quite clearly. Looking beyond the individual pieces of Backbone.js, there is some debate about what to call it from an architecture and patterns perspective. For a high level overview and for most applications, though, these six objects are the most important. ![]() ![]() There are other small parts of Backbone.js, still, that become important to understand if and when they need to be customized. Routers and the History object allow an application state to be bookmarked or linked, reloading the page to exactly the place where it was left.

It took more time that I hoped but think I've also learned a lot in the process too. I finally got my second animation complete and it's rendering right now. Something so people can give when I actually deliver rather than at regular time intervals. I will have look into some alternative way of accepting support. I want to continue working on this project, I think I just need to be able do it my own pace, without pressure, what ever that pace happens to be. Obviously this is none of your fault, you have all been amazing, this is pressure I can't help but put on myself. ![]() I've accepted all your support over the years as its the only way I have been able justify spending the as much time working on this project as I do. I try my best not to promise anything as not to feel guilt when I can't deliver. I feel a massive obligation to keep working each month as to not let you all down. I think it is partly down to the way I accept support through patreon and it's monthly billing cycle. As much as I enjoy working on this project, when I start to struggle I begin to hate it too. So far I've been able to keep working productively but it's finally starting to catch up with me. Right now it pretty much consumes most of my free time, If I ever take some time for myself to relax I only end up feeling under more pressure catch up. I think I will also reassess how much time I spend working of this project. I think after the update is done I'm going to take a break, at least until the new year. Instead it's been a bit of an unenjoyable grind which then only seems to make it harder to think creatively and productively. I would say I've been struggling for motivation but motivation is not the right word, I've really wanted to get this update finished but I've been lacking the creative spark or inspiration to make it happen. I hate to make excuses but I feel at least an explanation is needed. I really hoped to have it done by now but It's been a bit of a struggle the past few weeks. I just want to say sorry the current update is taking so long. That's all I can think of for now so I'll leave it there. I made a little comparison image, let me know what you think. I've never been 100% happy with her original hair style and I'm considering changing it. You may notice Captain Stewart has a different hair style. Speaking of things to share, I haven't been completely idle, I did still play around with Daz a bit and I created the above renders. I also won't be making regular weekly posts anymore, I'll just make them as and when I have something worth sharing. As for an ETA on the next update, at this point I have no idea. I'll be sure to let you guys know before I do so. I'm am going to continue to do that until I have the next update ready, at that point I will look at un-pausing the billing. I've been pausing the monthly billing every month since last year. I don't want to get into the situation again where the joy is gone and It feels more like a non stop grind. I'm going to take it easy and work as I feel happy doing so. That said I'm not going to be working at the pace I was before. I created a little scene last weekend and it felt good doing it. ![]() I'm feeling much happier now and want to start working on the game again. I haven't read anyone's I'm afraid, however I'm going to get around to it asap. I can see a lot of unread messages, if you sent me one and I didn't reply, don't worry, I wasn't ignoring you specifically. I just really wanted a break and to be able to forget about this project for a while. The teachers with whom I was working that day suggested including tracking sheets to keep students accountable as well. Automaticity AND retention are improving and that’s ALWAYS something to celebrate!!! One thing we’re loving about these fluency cards is that we’re able to provide students with repeated exposure & opportunities to see and read these words in a variety of ways. Love that idea, too! SIGHT WORD FLUENCY -– FIRST -FIFTH HUNDRED FRY WORDS Some of my teachers are even saving these fluency cards for small group warm-ups so that they can personally check for accuracy in real time. The teacher will later watch the video to check for accuracy. ![]() The student will read aloud the number on the card they’ve chosen, set the timer, and read while being recorded. Basically, these teachers are encouraging their students to record themselves reading the fluency cards. How do we really know if they’re practicing something the right way?! Some of my teachers who are using these fluency cards in their classrooms are monitoring student accuracy using video! Yes! I love the idea of adding a little tech into the mix. That’s ALWAYS a concern with any activity we choose to allow students to complete independently, but especially with activities like these that don’t necessarily have a paper/pencil component. “But if we’re allowing our kids to read these cards independently without any teacher support or assessment, how can we be sure that they’re even reading the words accurately?” The teacher can modify reinforcement by providing students with different time increments in an effort to challenge students or provide additional time & support. Ideally, students would start with the single word fluency cards and then gradually work their way up to the three word phrases. The fluency cards are organized into sets of cards with words in isolation (one word only), two word phrases, and three word phrases. SIGHT WORD FLUENCY -– FIRST -FIFTH HUNDRED FRY WORDS Students will continue to read the set of words until the time runs out. Each time the set has been read, the student will mark a bubble at the bottom of the tracking card. The student will start the timer and read each word on the card accurately and quickly. These sight word fluency cards can be paired with sand timers in varying time increments ( teacher OR student choice). Starting with the First Hundred Fry Words, students will be given the opportunity to repeatedly practice reading a set of 10 sight words in a given amount of time. These sight word fluency cards were created in an effort to scaffold learning & practice and provide students with repeated opportunities to increase their word base and improve retention. SIGHT WORD FLUENCY -– FIRST -FIFTH HUNDRED FRY WORDS One of the ideas we discussed was implementing sight word fluency activities to help students improve both retention and automaticity while improving their overall reading fluency as well. I shared a lot of ideas that have worked for me through the years (you can read about some of those ideas in this blog post) as well as a few new ideas that have been very successful implemented in several different classrooms. We talked a lot about improving automaticity with these words as well. At this particular campus, the teachers were using Fry Words as the basis for their sight word instruction, but were looking for more ideas to help students retain & apply what they were learning. It always fascinates me how the expectations differ from school to school, district to district. Professional development days are always my favorite…especially when teachers are eager & excited to learn more in an effort to provide kids with every learning opportunity they possibly can.ĭuring this particular PD, we talked a lot about sight words. ![]() ![]() We discussed a lot of different strategies, best teaching practices, and activity ideas.

The foundation stone for the new opera house was laid in 1863. ![]() The competition was won by architect August Sicard von Sicardsburg and interior decorator Eduard van der Nüll, whose slogan was “Fais ce que dois, advient que pourra” (essentially, “Do your best, no matter what happens”). A competition for the design of the new opera house required that the entrants identify a slogan capturing the essence of their design. In 1857, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I authorized using public funds to build a new opera house near the existing one along the Ringstraße (Ring Road). By the middle of the 19th century, the scale of popular operas had outgrown the capacity of Heinrichshorf.

This preowned game is in excellent condition and comes complete with case, cover, and game disc. Do yourself a favor and download the original game on iOS or Android if you get the Carmageddon itch before you throw yourself into Max Damage.Excellent condition & 100% complete with contents: Carmageddon Max Damage for SONY PlayStation 4 / PS4. A lack of direction, sub-par graphics and physics, disappointing gameplay and $40 price tag make this game a tough sell and an easy skip. The game is able to recreate a modicum of the originals luster through these choices, but ultimately falls flat.Ĭarmageddon: Max Damage is another in an increasingly long list of games and products that sound amazing, get crowdfunded and then fail to impress or deliver on their promised grandeur. And a light offensive, nimble bladed vehicle is ideal for slaughtering pedestrians. A light, defensive vehicle will be your choice for completing the race laps. With an offensive, heavy vehicle you will go after opposing drivers. Your vehicle choice will have a strong influence on how you complete your missions. With over 30 customizable cars to choose from you can truly set yourself apart from everyone else with your selection of mobile pedestrian crusher. The highest point of the game is without a doubt the vehicle selection. Had Carmageddon: Max Damage come out a decade ago, it would have been a good sequel, but the game?s premise has lost its luster in an age where mods and expansions for games like Grand Theft Auto 5 let you do the same basic things but in a way that is far superior. The power ups lose their ?Wow? after multiple uses and the game is plagued with bugs and glitches - clipping through walls, the ground and other cars to name a few. The game is amusing and enjoyable for the first hour then drops off as you repeat the same actions over and over. Driving though the city and launching old ladies with their walkers into oblivion is no doubt an enjoyable experience, but it cannot be the basis upon which a game is built. The gameplay itself is adequate, even fun at times. A game?s graphics can be overlooked if they aren?t quite to taste if there are other redeeming elements to the gameplay/story that show where the time and effort were put in, but this game lacks such redeeming qualities. The soundtrack follows suit, trying to pull the nostalgic feelings out through music but falling quite short. ![]() ![]() The physics in the game are over the top, but not in the good way you would want in a game like this. The environments, the people, the cars, all of it is very last gen. Grand Theft Auto 5 this is not, the game looks like its running on an engine from a decade ago. Allow me to elaborate.įirst, let me address the graphics. Now here we are in 2016 getting the crowdfunded sequel, Carmageddon: Max Damage, a game that would have been perfect? in 2004. ![]() The graphics are good, but the gameplay is fantastic, a classic arcade driver with over the top violence and insane stunts that fit the needs of the masses at the time. It?s 1997, you just picked up Carmageddon for the PC and you are sitting down thrashing fellow drivers and pedestrians are exploding in little fountains of gore. Lines and shading help to form the disturbed eyes. Also, the mouth of the devourer was formed by geometric lines. Geometric lines are used for buildings and organic forms shape the torture spines seen from the head demonic devourer. Tone creates a lot of contrast to create shadows of buildings. To see the pure wickedness of the piece you to magnify it. The use of warm/ hot colors to display the light of hellfire is awesome the abstract nature of the piece only adds to drive home the notion of eternal suffering. However, I can appreciate the creativity in the artwork. It is to horrific in nature for my taste. “Hieronymus Bosch | Christ In Limbo (about 1575) | Artsy.” Artsy – Discover, Research, and Collect the World’s Best Art Online. ![]() “Christ in Limbo.” Indianapolis Museum of Art Online Collection.

This painting uses a lot of dark colors which gives an emotion of fear and sadness.īosch is an artist that has deep insight to humanities fears and desires. ![]() There is so much happening in this picture that you could spend a lot of time looking at it just to identify the smallest details. You are able to look at each person/demon in this painting and are about to figure out what they are doing. This picture uses exemplary detail and depth throughout the painting. In this painting you can find demons, people killing each other, as well as demons expanding hell so it can hold more souls, but just to the left of the giant face you can see Christ coming to save the lost souls. It truly is a disturbing image with all of the chaos going on. This painting is called Christ in Limbo by Hieronymus Bosch and was completed in 1575. |
