![]() ![]() And so, suddenly, in my junior year, I find myself in this college preparatory track. Somebody found out that somewhere along the line, my entrance tests to high school got confused with somebody else whose last name was Rose. Those were the days when schools were pretty rigidly tracked, right? And then a remarkable thing happened. I just didn’t do that well in school.Īnd so then when I went to high school, I ended up in the vocational track. o I could read, and that was immensely helpful, but I was horrible in mathematics I couldn’t diagram a sentence if you held a gun to my head. I could read, which was really fortunate, since that’s the sort of meta tool. I’ve got to say that it began, for me, in my senior year in high school. And you’re right, I wouldn’t have talked about it that way at the time. How would you start to tell the story of how and when you became attentive to what you would call the “spirit of education” - maybe you wouldn’t have called it that then, but what you now think of as the essence of education? His father was chronically ill, and his mother supported their family as a waitress. He grew up in Pennsylvania among Italian immigrants. He authored several books, including The Mind at Work and Back to School: Why Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Education. Mike Rose was a professor in the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. Tippett: I’m Krista Tippett, and this is On Being. You know, the miserable lawyer, the unhappy neurosurgeon, right? Meaningfulness is a more fluid and rich and variable concept, I think, than we tend to imagine. Mike Rose: You and I both know people who are doing work that the culture at large, from a distance, would say is really meaningful, and they’re miserable. culture, and the deepest meanings of intelligence and of vocation. His insights from our 2010 conversation, a conversation I cherished, offer much to enlarge our civic imagination on big subjects that are newly alive about the heart of who we are, including class dynamics we still scarcely know how to speak about in U.S. He argued with care and eloquence that we risk too narrow a view of the way the physical, the human, and the cognitive blend in all kinds of learning and in all kinds of labor. Yet the particular way he saw the world resonates more than ever before, as our debates about standardized testing, the information economy, and the future of school only intensify. This, then, is something I know: the thought it takes to do physical work.” Mike Rose died after a short illness, in August. ![]() Krista Tippett, host: Mike Rose once wrote this: “I grew up a witness to the intelligence of the waitress in motion, the reflective welder, the strategy of the guy on the assembly line. ![]()

Other options that could be deleted from the original design in Option 1, but added later, include making the bus ramp and covered area for pick-up not as long for a savings of $57,000, deleting the locker rooms for savings of $800,000 and deleting cubbies from elementary school classrooms for savings of $126,000 - among other things that can be adjusted later. However, the option of making the hallways more narrow and the classrooms four feet smaller would result in a permanent situation. But both the cafeteria space and the kitchen could be added when enough money is found. If the cafeteria is not included in the first construction budget, the savings would add up to just over $1.2 million.ĭeleting the kitchen from the design saves $857,00, in itself. When furnishings are factored in, the cost goes to just over $35 million. Without furnishings, the cost of construction when taking into consideration cost per student station for the Elkhart school would be just over $30.2 million, as originally planned. He said the media center and cafeteria services are not tied to student stations, and the rest rooms are not. Wyrosdick said the state allows $25,572 per student station for construction costs, but not everything is tied to student stations. But if we are getting close to getting the school complete and have money left over, then we can add some of these alternatives and the cafeteria would be the first priority to add back into the plan.” “For example, do we get a month and a half in rain - like we did for the Benny Russell school construction - and they have to add laborers to get the school done on time, we could be in trouble if we don’t have enough contingency built-in. Harrell explained that there are so many unknown factors, they do not want to get too close to that cost per student station limit. ![]() Wyrosdick and Assistant Superintendent Joey Harrell presented the school board with a second option, which included a cafeteria, but that plan cut the savings in half. The law passed in 2016 by the state legislature says that if any school district surpasses the allowed student station cost, which Wyrosdick told the school board is based on numbers from 2006 construction costs, the state would not allow the school district to repay any of the borrowed amount with any of its local or state funds. But it is what we have to work under right now.” – Tim Wyrosdick Santa Rosa Superintendent of Schools “Is this the school we want to build? No. But it is what we have to work under right now.” This is a bad state law, outdated and punitive. We are, right now, looking at the school opening in the fall of 2022 for a school needed three years ago. Superintendent of School Tim Wyrosdick said, more than once during the meeting, “We have other options, but this option gives us the best chance at building the school with the most savings to be able to come within the state law and open it on time. The food would be prepared at other schools and brought into the Elkhart school. The option would use the media center doubling as a cafeteria/ feeding area for school meals. ![]() The option that would save just over $2 million would make the hallways and classrooms smaller than originally planned, with four feet off each classroom, and would eliminate a cafeteria or kitchen, at first. The Santa Rosa County School Board reluctantly voted unanimously last week to move ahead on the new school being designed with a cost saving option presented by the administrative staff that no one really likes. An artistic rendering of the planned school which will be built between Gulf Breeze and Navarre. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once that was down, it was time to fold and compile them into the signatures for the book. As you can see by the before and after picture, the effect was perfect. I was able to do two pages at a time and repeated my way through the stack of pages (all 104 of them ^_^). I then laid the soaked page out on a clean sheet and baked it in the oven, using a spray bottle of coffee to give them interesting stain patterns while drying. I did this by filling a baking sheet with cold coffee and soaking a page in it. Next I cut the pages down to the size that I needed and printed out the printed pages. With all of that prep work done, I went and found sketch pads with the weight of paper that I wanted and removed the pages from it. I took all these and laid out my designs in InDesign the first third of the book with crossed out names, the next third with uncrossed names, and the final third with blank pages. The fonts I used I bought from DriveThruRPG. This gave me a list of 3526 names (WOW) that I just randomized a few times to use. To solve this (and because I am a big nerd) I decided to generate my list of names from all the characters who died in Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and (to fill out the list) all of the assassination targets from the Assassin’s Creed series. I was feeling a bit superstitious though and using a list of real names seemed a bit too much like a monkey’s paw situation to me. I wanted the pages of the book to be printed with a list in a creepy font. If after seeing the basic steps involved here, you decide that you want to try your hand at bookbinding, you can get access to their course through their Patreon. With that in mind, I headed over to Nerdforge’s site and checked out their amazing bookbinding course. Regardless, I hope you enjoy and on to the build!įor the Book of Names, I thought it would be cooler to actually make and bound a real book then to make a fake book prop. Maybe you’ll take this and recreate what I did, or maybe it will just give you some new ideas for your own projects. This is more of a teaching by example I will show the steps I took with my thought processes behind this build for you to follow along. With all of that decided, it was time to get to work.īefore we begin, I want to say that this won’t be an Instructable where I give precise detailed steps and measurements for you to duplicate. I liked that idea a lot more and decided that was what I was going to make. I had the thought to make a glowing hourglass but then I thought “What about a book of names? A nice thick leather bound tome that tells the Reaper who is the next soul to reap”. I could have left the build here but I wanted to make something else to go with the scythe. ![]() Obviously, a Grim Reaper needs his trusty scythe to go out and reap souls, so I had to come up with an appropriately cool scythe design. Only a cloak and face does not a Grim Reaper make (^_^) so I needed to make some props to go with them. Second, a Grim Reaper needs an appropriate hooded cloak, so I needed to get out my sewing machine and put my basic sewing skills to use. Since I love using facial prosthetics for Halloween, all I needed to do is find an appropriate mask online. So with that idea in mind, it was time to plan out what would be needed for this build.įirst off, a Grim Reaper has a skull for a head. After looking at some of my past costumes (and maybe with a little influence from watching “Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey”), I decided that a Grim Reaper would be a great choice. As Halloween rolled around, it was time to decide what I would dress as for this year. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Bizuayehu Tesfaye/Las Vegas Review-Journal) lane restrictions in the Resort Corridor are on the way as work continues on the $305 million Interstate 15/Tropicana Avenue interchange project.

This will interest your readers if they are interested in knowing more about your company or services. Have you ever thought about using infographics to tell a story? You can! Consider using your information about your business, such as creating an attractive infographic timeline that shows the inception of your business up to the present time. Just make it attractive and include stunning visuals that will catch and keep their attention. The devil is in the details, and you can provide value to your customers by creating a nice, clean-cut infographic with the information they crave without being overly elaborate with your design. A great invention doesn’t have to be complicated to be great. You’ve heard this line before, but it bears repeating. There’s nothing worse than data that is missing or outdated to aggravate a potential customer who is looking for information. Look up your data in several sources if you need to verify it. Think of an infographic as something that is helping you create credibility for your brand while providing valuable information that will help your customers in some way. If you use information or data that is outdated, incorrect, or just plain wrong, you will lose credibility fast, and you may lose customers in the process. One of the main features of the infographic is that it contains clear, accurate, and timely data. You should strive to create your graphic in such a way that the pictures speak louder than words. Remember that an infographic is meant to be mostly about the images and less about the text. Try not to blend too many ideas together in one as this may confuse the reader and defeat the purpose. You can always create another infographic later on another topic. Exclude data that may be confusing or that is not related to your theme. Use information and data that is sure to appeal to your primary audience and speak to the pain points that resonate with these users. Like writing a book, creating an effective infographic requires that you create the infographic with your target audience in mind. Once you have figured out the essential elements of your infographic and have brainstormed ideas, you will want to weed your garden by cutting out the non-essential elements and focusing in on the primary message. Use a large yellow legal pad and feel free to express your ideas and sketch out possible graphics that you can use for your creation. You will also want to consider the details that you will include within the work and how it will be presented visually.ĭuring this phase of the creation process, you should not restrain yourself, and you should think of as many ideas as come to mind, without hesitation. Just like writing, painting, or any other activity that requires unique thought and expression, creating an infographic takes some time to think about what you should include and what the overall theme should be. Remember that creating an infographic is a creative process. Take a look at what others have done to get some starting inspiration for your designs. ![]() Some places you may find some excellent examples of infographics include Pinterest, Visual.ly, and others. However, it does help to see that types of layouts and illustrations, as well as the actual type of content that others in your field put within their infographics as a type of inspiration.

One of the first things you will want to do before designing your infographic is to see what others in your industry have come up with. These seven content ideas may help you to figure out what to include within your infographic. When you first set out to use an infographic, you will want to consider some factors that will help you plan your work so that the final work will yield you the results you want.

Owing to the exposure of Afrikaans speakers to English, Dutch words like computer, lift and appartement are more readily understood by them than Afrikaans equivalents like rekenaar, hysbak and woonstel are by Dutch speakers. Intelligibility of Dutch to Afrikaans speakers Loanwords vs purisms Īfrikaans uses purisms or calques where Dutch would use loans from French, Latin or English. In Dutch, "now there is" would be translated as nu is er, using the unmarked forms, which do not exist in Afrikaans. Unmarked and marked forms of words Īs Afrikaans no longer has unmarked and marked forms of words, instead using words derived from the marked forms in Dutch, the Afrikaans words for "there" and "now", daar and nou, are more intelligible to speakers of Dutch than the unmarked Dutch forms er and nu are to Afrikaans speakers.įor example, nou is daar, meaning "now there is" in Afrikaans, is sometimes encountered in Dutch although nou is used more colloquially for emphasis, in the sense of the English "well". Similarly, the resemblance of Afrikaans verbs like lees ("to read", Dutch lezen) to the first person singular and verbs like gaan ("to go") to infinitive forms in Dutch means that julle lees ("you read") or ek gaan ("I go") would be understood by Dutch speakers more readily than jullie lezen or ik ga would be by Afrikaans speakers. The simplification of verbs in Afrikaans, with almost all verbs being regular and the near absence of the simple past tense, means that while the phrase ek het gehelp ("I have helped" or "I helped") would be recognisable by Dutch speakers, the Dutch phrases ik heb geholpen and ik hielp would not be as readily understood by speakers of Afrikaans. wees genadig, meaning "be merciful" or "have mercy"). Conversely, wees, meaning "to be" in Afrikaans, is used as the imperative in Dutch, although it is used as the imperative in religious contexts in Afrikaans (e.g. In Afrikaans, het is the inflection of the verb hê ("to have" from Dutch hebben) although sy (cognate with zijn) is used as the subjunctive of "to be", while we in Dutch is cognate with "we" in English, a language widely understood by Afrikaans speakers. Intelligibility of Afrikaans to Dutch speakers Cognate words Īlthough Afrikaans borrows some lexical and syntactical structures from other languages, including Malay, Portuguese, Khoisan languages, Bantu languages, and to a lesser extent Low German, Dutch speakers are confronted with fewer non- cognates when listening to Afrikaans than the other way around. Mutual intelligibility tends to be asymmetrical, as it is easier for Dutch speakers to understand Afrikaans than for Afrikaans speakers to understand Dutch. Research suggests that mutual intelligibility between Dutch and Afrikaans is better than between Dutch and Frisian or between Danish and Swedish. There is a high degree of mutual intelligibility between the two languages, particularly in written form. An estimated 90 to 95% of Afrikaans vocabulary is ultimately of Dutch origin, so there are few lexical differences between the two languages, however Afrikaans has considerably more regular morphology, grammar, and spelling. ![]() ![]() Light green (right): primary Afrikaans speaking regions – South Africa, NamibiaĪfrikaans is a daughter language of Dutch mainly spoken in South Africa and Namibia it is a separate standard language rather than a national variety, unlike Netherlands Dutch, Belgian Dutch and Surinamese Dutch.Dark green (left): largest Dutch speaking regions – Dutch Caribbean, Suriname, Netherlands, Belgium. ![]() ![]() ![]() Standard Car keys – that don’t control the central locking.Transponder keys – most keys after 1995 are transponder keys with a chip inside.Remote key fobs – most will need programming.Types of vehicle keys that can be repaired My car key has snapped in the ignitionĪ auto locksmith will be able to extract the part of the vehicle key left in the ignition and provide a replacement car key for you.
