Help your children fill in the blanks on the sheet. Dictations are an important pre-writing and reading skill. Being 2 years old, my daughters are focusing on telling me their thoughts as they watch me write the words known as dictations. At almost 5 my son is beginning to independently write using inventive spelling (writing the words as they sound). My children are at different writing stages. The act of pointing and reading is an important pre-reading (and writing) skill. Help your child by slowly reading the words and pointing to the individual words as you read. Now we are going to write about our shape jack-o-lanterns! Let’s read the paper together. You can learn more about process over product here.Īfter your child decides his shape jack-o-lantern is complete, give him a copy of the My Jack-o-Lantern Sheet. The most important thing to do is to give your child access to materials and talk to your child while they are working. Honor where your child is in that moment. If your child wants 7 eyes, a nose, and puts the mouth on top of the head that is fine. Remember when working with children it is important to focus on the process of the art project rather than the end product. How many do you want? Demonstrate how you can use a small amount of glue to stick the shapes on the jack-o-lanterns. What shape do you want for the eyes? Circle, rectangle, square or triangle? (point to each as you name them). We are going to make jack-o-lanterns today! You can choose any of the shapes to make the faces. Introduce the activity by giving each child a large orange circle and access to the black shapes. Print copies of the My Jack-o-Lantern Sheet ( click here to print My Jack-o-Lantern Sheet).

3/2/2024 0 Comments Onyx motoBut good luck explaining this concept to a police officer on the side of the road while jabbing at a print-out of this page.Īt higher speeds, forget about it. Thus, as long as you keep it at electric bicycle speeds (alternatively 20 mph, 28 mph or 30 mph, depending on where you live) and keep it in the 750W power limited mode, it’s theoretically a compliant electric bicycle. But I wouldn’t want to pedal it very far. But on the other hand, it’s a 60 mph motorcycle with a couple of pedals stuck on it. It’s got two wheels, pedals, handle bars, and an electric motor. On the one hand, it’s an electric bicycle in every way. That’s probably the only sticky part about the whole vehicle. Which I’m not sure if we actually did, but hell, we were there. The fire road ended in a dirt bowl, and we got the chance to play around with little jumps and hops over the rim, rocks skipping and dust flying.Īt the end of the joy ride we headed back on city streets, blending into traffic like we belonged. James took me down a fire road at speeds that I probably wouldn’t have selected if I had taken point, but that the ONYX RCR ate up like Skittles. I was having so much fun that I had to remember to focus on my lines as I entered turns at speeds I would have never even considered attempting on an electric bicycle.Īnd with sufficiently long travel suspension, off-road riding is a blast, too. The strong steel frame and motorcycle-style 17-inch wheels give a strong, rigid feel, while the overall size and wheelbase makes carving up a canyon road effortless. The coolest thing about riding such a powerful, lightweight electric moped is how nimble it is. While I never saw the promised 60 mph figure, I got close enough that I can’t complain. I felt this weird, child-like glee as I whizzed off at admittedly dangerous speeds on a vehicle that felt no larger than a standard bicycle, yet rocketed me up to 59 mph. Have you ever heard of the “e-grin”? It’s a stupidly large smile that people get the first time they try an e-bike and experience the thrill of a silent, electrically powered motorbike.Īs something of a professional e-bike rider, I’m on a new model seemingly every week, and it’s been a while since I’ve had a true ear-to-ear e-grin. Make sure you check out my video below to see the ONYX RCR electric moped in action! Extras: Large LED headlight and rear LED tail light, 3 drive modes, backlit LCD display panel, bench seat, wide range of accessories (also accepts many third-party aftermarket moped accessories).Brakes: Front hydraulic disk brake, rear regenerative braking and hybrid hydraulic disc brakes.Suspension: Front suspension fork, dual rear coilover suspension.Battery: 72V 23Ah (1.66 kWh) removable battery.Motor: 3kW continuous (5.4 kW peak) rear hub motor.But before I jump into the review, let’s take a look at the bike’s tech specs so that we know what we’re working with here. Our pair of twin little electric hell-raisers tore it up all afternoon. Yet a chance to actually ride one had eluded me until now.Īnd so it was with a supreme sense of delayed gratification that I finally swung my leg over an ONYX RCR last week.Īnd the fact that the company’s own CEO James Khatiblou was leading me on my joy ride along with his own ONYX RCR made it that much more epic. I’ve covered the development and rollout of the ONYX RCR since the very beginning, starting with the company’s crowdfunding in the summer of 2018. I’ve admired this bike for nearly two years now. If you’re looking for a different pair of gloves, we have plenty more Pando Moto motorcycle gloves available.An electric moped in the truest sense of the word “moped,” the ONYX RCR is a beast of an electric motorbike. These particular gloves come in the color Grey. When it comes to ventilation, they are equipped with Perforated back, Perforated fingers. These gloves are fitted with a Velcro closure for easy and secure fastening. Its Knuckle protector, Palm slider, Protective lining provide ample impact protection in the case of a slide. These gloves are constructed from Cowhide leather to provide you with the necessary protection from abrasion. No matter your riding style, a pair of comfortably fitting gloves is of the utmost importance because having great feel with the handlebars is essential to operate your bike. The Onyx’s features play right into the needs and wishes of Chopper/Retro riders. The Pando Moto Onyx motorcycle gloves are a great pair of Short Cuff Summer gloves.

This is a dominant gene, so if a cat has it, they will be Tabby colored! That’s one of the reasons that you find Tabby cats in a huge range of cat breeds. The gene that’s responsible for grey Tabbies, as well as every other Tabby shade, is the agouti gene. Image Credit: Ysbrand Cosijn, Shutterstock 6. This is a naturally occurring pattern and can be seen in the European Wildcat, African Wildcat, and Asiatic Wildcat, which all have similar coats in terms of patterns and colors. It’s thought that the beautiful swirling patterns on domestic Grey Tabby cats are from genes from wild cats. The Grey Tabby Pattern Is Thought to Come From Wild Cats The specific eye colors of different Grey Tabby cats will depend on their breed, so if you want a Grey Tabby cat with a particular eye color, it’s best to check their breed standard to see if that’s a possibility. Grey Tabbies Can Have a Range of Different Eye Colorsĭepending on the breed of your Tabby cat, they can have different eye colors, including yellow, green, copper, hazel, and blue. Image Credit: OlhaTsiplyar, Shutterstock 4. Patched Tabbies can have any of the above markings, with areas of different colors. They also possess the agouti gene that’s responsible for Tabby markings. They have Tabby markings on their faces and shaded hairs over their bodies. Spotted Grey Tabby cats are covered in spots, which can be oval or striped and bisected by tiger stripes.Ī ticked Grey Tabby is more unusual because they don’t have classic Tabby stripes. They also have a dark stripe along their spine. Mackerel Grey Tabby cats have narrow stripes down their bodies, like tigers. Classic Grey Tabby cats have swirled circular patterns along their sides. Grey Tabbies Can Have Different Coat PatternsĪs well as having many Tabby coat colors, all Tabby cats, including grey ones, can have five coat patterns. The third, non-religious version suggests that the M is a frown caused by a Tabby cat concentrating on a mouse hole! 3. The second says that the Virgin Mary marked the cat’s face in gratitude for them purring when baby Jesus wouldn’t stop crying. The first claims that the M was created when the prophet Muhammad laid his hand on the head of his favorite cat. There are three legends about how this marking came to be, so choose the one you like the best. Look closely at the forehead of any Grey Tabby, and you’ll see a cute “M” mark on their foreheads in a darker fur color. All Grey Tabby Cats Have an “M” on Their Foreheads Image Credit: KDdesignphoto, Shutterstock 2. Grey Tabby cats aren’t a breed but a coat color! Tabby cats can come in several colors, including red, brown, silver, caramel, and of course, our favorite, grey! There are a vast number of breeds with the Grey Tabby coloration, including the American Shorthair, Scottish Fold, Norwegian Forest Cat, and many others. Grey Tabby Cats Can Come in Many Different Breeds The Rough Cut 2x4 was released under this series and featured the ability to fire two darts at once. The Multishot Madness sub-series is part of both the N-Strike Elite series and the Vortex series. The Micro Shots sub-series features Jolt-like blasters molded to look like blasters from multiple series. The BattleCamo Series consists of re-released N-Strike Elite blasters and attachments. The Elite and Rebelle blasters under this series are packaged with spiral headed darts that are designed to be more accurate. The AccuStrike Series is part of the N-Strike Elite, Rebelle, N-Strike Mega, and ULTRA series. Meanwhile the NanoFire release with both green and blue color variants. Interestingly some blasters like the Rampage and FlaconFire still release with white, blue and orange as the primary color. In 2018, the color scheme for all N-Strike Elite blasters changed to blue, black, gray, and orange. Some people might confuse the blaster with the original N-Strike blasters (due to the color scheme). The Rayven Stinger has an alternate yellow, black, and orange color scheme. Multiple blasters have also been released in an orange and black color scheme, such as the Demolisher 2-In-1 and PocketStrike. Some blasters have been re-released with an alternate white, blue, black, gray and orange color scheme in 2014. Most N-Strike Elite blasters feature a distinct color scheme: blue, white, black, gray, and orange. The Elite 2.0 series would later be released in 2020, serving as a successor to N-Strike Elite. The Demolisher 2-In-1 and the Cam ECS-12 were released in fall of 2014 the Rhino-Fire was released later that same year on November 1. The Firestrike, the Strongarm, and the Stryfe were given a soft release in some stores in December of 2013. These blasters, however, were released much sooner than originally expected. On September 8, a Wired article mentioned two blasters that will be released in fall of 2013: the Stryfe and the Rough Cut 2x4. The Hail-Fire was also released early prior to September 9. The Retaliator, Rampage and Stockade were released and given a soft release in some retail stores prior to August 1. Most original releases within the series featured upgraded versions of original N-Strike blasters. N-Strike Elite is a direct successor from the popular N-Strike series. Voltage mods on the flywheel blasters will bring the range on par with the seventy-five feet versions.īecause the fifteen meter direct plunger blasters have near-identical internals to the seventy-five feet versions, any modifications done to fifteen meter blasters will likely have the same performance as an identically modded seventy-five feet Elite blaster. Īll the direct plunger blasters are fitted with a weaker spring and the flywheel blasters are fitted with some sort of "limiter" which prevents the flywheels from spinning at their maximum potential speed. To keep with other countries' safety standards, these N-Strike Elite blasters only have a firing range of fifteen meters (about fifty feet). They received lower performance and gray triggers. Versions of the blasters released in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, China, Japan, Thailand and the Philippines do not have the advertised seventy-five foot firing range. This is achieved due to direct plunger firing systems and the Elite Darts, rather than most of their predecessors' reverse plunger firing systems and most having either Streamline Darts, Micro Darts or Whistler Darts. The N-Strike Elite series is advertised by Nerf that N-Strike Elite blasters feature ranges up to seventy-five feet to ninety feet, compared to N-Strike's advertised thirty-five foot stock range. The series also continues the use of the clip system introduced within the series' predecessor. Most blasters within the series feature the use of tactical rails and attachment points for barrel extensions and shoulder stocks. N-Strike Elite is a Nerf product series heavily focused on "tactical" dart blasters with long ranges that can be customized with various accessories. 3/2/2024 0 Comments Horse animal rescue team“The slaughter of horses for human consumption is a barbaric practice that has no place in America,” Buchanan said. I am proud to reintroduce the SAFE Act with Congressman Buchanan and offer legislation that will finally close a loophole to end the slaughter of American horses for human consumption, both domestically and abroad.” “With such a special place in our nation’s history it’s beyond time that we end the brutal practice of slaughtering these majestic creatures as food for humans. They are our companions, work partners, entertainers, and athletes,” Schakowsky said. “For centuries, horses have embodied the spirit of American freedom and pride. We are grateful to Congresswoman Schakowsky and Congressman Buchanan for their dedication to ending the slaughter of horses for human consumption.” The SAFE Act would ensure that both horses and people are protected. “Some are former racehorses who have been recently dosed with drugs considered unsafe for human consumption. “Each year, a huge number of American horses are shipped to foreign slaughterhouses to be butchered under shockingly inhumane conditions,” said Cathy Liss, president of the Animal Welfare Institute. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), the Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act is supported by leading animal welfare groups, including the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the Humane Society Legislative Fund (HSLF), and Return to Freedom Wild Horse Conservation (RTF). Washington, DC-Federal lawmakers reintroduced legislation today to permanently ban horse slaughter in the United States and end the current export of American horses for slaughter abroad.
3/2/2024 0 Comments Boox nova 3Even keeping the same shape and design as the RM2 so current items work the same such as covers and accessories would be a solid win IMO.The system drop-down menu has been divided into Notification Center and Control Panel. 1) Higher resolution screen, 2) Faster processing, 3) Controlled backlight. These three items would be a solid win for a RM3 device without the need to change anything else. Plus, you can adjust the temperature and brightness I believe to fit your needs. 3) The backlight does not make someone use it further away, and in fact makes it easier to use in lower light situations or when it is dark. 2) The processor is faster and things such as changing pages or anything just happen faster, and it is noticeable. 1) The screen is higher resolution and overall, a shaper and better image to use and write with. The Kindle Scribe is not the same software platform as the Remarkable, but if you look at the hardware there are some advantages. I would also say that the Kindle Scribe is a good look at what some improved hardware would bring. While I can see the value in what is available now with RM2, I do not agree with two of the points on a blacklight and faster internals not being needed. To view my top e-ink tablet recommendations, click here. If you are looking for an e-ink tablet that is more versatile, you might want to check out the Supernote A5X or the Boox Note Air 2 Plus, both of which also support email, calendars and Kindle. It is aesthetically pleasing and has a great tactile writing feel but it doesn’t really do anything else. The reMarkable 2 already fits neatly into the role it was designed for – a focused and distraction-free e-ink note-taking device. In addition, the company’s strategic direction seems to be based around improving the existing experience, particularly in relation to their desktop/mobile app, which I feel is needed to justify the $3-per-month Connect subscription. No new FCC applicationsĪ Reddit user also mentioned that there are no new applications to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from reMarkable to approve a new device for wireless technologies, which is further evidence that they probably do not have anything in the pipeline.įor transparency, I don’t know enough about the FCC processes to say how strong of an indication this is, however, other manufacturers (such as Boox) usually put forward FCC applications two or three weeks before they release a new product. Consequently, over the last several months, manufacture of the A6 X has ceased and it is no longer available to buy on their website as they prepare to release the newer product. They have announced a successor to their Supernote A6 X (which will be called the A6 X2) to be launched in November 2023. I’m guessing that there will probably be some alterations made to their returns policy as a precursor to the release of the rM3.Īs a comparative case study, we can perhaps look at what is happening right now with Supernote. ReMarkable has a very shrewd sales and marketing team who are likely to put a plan in place to mitigate this risk. As you can imagine, the moment the reMarkable 3 goes on sale, almost everyone that bought a reMarkable 2 in the last 3 months is going to send it back – this is going to be a logistical and financial nightmare for reMarkable. The second reason for my doubt is due to reMarkable’s 100-day free return guarantee. Similarly, as smart as reMarkable’s marketing team is, they are unlikely to want to promote anything that doesn’t have significant advantages over its predecessor. ReMarkable has always taken a ‘ less is more‘ approach, and many of the weaknesses of the reMarkable 2 (such as a substandard e-reading experience) could be resolved with better software rather than better hardware. Although the core hardware (CPU, RAM etc.) might be upgraded, there wouldn’t be much point to it because note-taking processes do not need a lot of resources. If it had speakers or a microphone, it would no longer be a distraction-free focused note-taking tablet. I really can’t see how they might improve on the hardware or the build without moving away from their core values.įor example, if the reMarkable 3 had a frontlight, this would increase the pen-to-ink distance, having a detrimental effect on the writing experience. The first reason for this prediction is because the existing reMarkable 2 is already gorgeously designed and performs its core function (note-taking) exceedingly well. CLICK HERE FOR MY E-INK TABLET COMPARISON TABLE rM2 already fits in perfectly with reMarkable’s vision We found the interface, which apes Logic, really helped the free music-composing software ease the transition to the more premium audio tool.

The convention seems to be to make the version two iterations before the current one available to download without charge.
