Instead of sitting in a classroom with his peers, David Diaz, a ninth grader, wants to attend Coava. The laptops are on their way - but Beutner said Friday that the district has not secured a deal for more hotspots.LOS ANGELES This year, the Los Angeles Unified School District is offering the entire ninth and tenth grade curriculum through Coava, the City of Angels Virtual Academy. ![]() Zwiers isn't certain how many of his students will have difficulty, but LAUSD officials have estimated that one in four students lack internet access at home.īeutner had pleaded with state officials for emergency funding to help pay for more laptops and hotspots from mobile internet providers that students could take home. "Most students," Zwiers said, "have a phone with some internet access where they can access Schoology and Schoology assignments."īut OneNote, he said, could quickly max out a student's data plan if they don't have a solid internet connection at home. The one flaw in Zwiers' plans? Internet access. But in a distance-learning scenario, that chat feature will be invaluable, Zwiers said. Under normal circumstances, OneNote's chat feature is a liability when used in classrooms middle schoolers, after all, aren't always on-task. ![]() On that platform, Zwiers said he can convene students for large group discussions while also tracking their progress on individual assignments. With the closure, he's now going to ramp up his use of an app called Microsoft OneNote. This year, Zwiers is already piloting a new curriculum that's already entirely digital. We want to keep things going remotely so that we can keep them motivated." "What I don't want to do is give them a big stack of papers and say, 'Start working on this until we come back,'" he said, "because I think a lot of students would get stuck and frustrated. Zwiers hopes to come as close as he can to recreating the structure of a classroom environment in a virtual setting. "We're going to be taxing the bandwidth of the systems we used in a way that was never intended," he said. He's worried less about kids failing to master Schoology, and more that Schoology might break down on teachers or students during the closure. Smiley said his class materials, including textbooks, have been "completely digital" for the last few years. "The vast majority of students throughout the district are in that position where they are using that every day in at least some of their classes." " is what we use every day," said Smiley. Already, many students and parents regularly log on to the secure website to check grades and download assignments. LAUSD has been ramping up its use of a "learning management system" called Schoology for the last five years. For them to be told, 'Look guys, I don't know what's going to happen, so prepare for the worst,' it was really disappointing." Lemos worries a closure longer than two weeks will hurt these projects. They're expected to film these projects - using professional actors and high-end production equipment - over spring break. Kennedy High School in Granada Hills are assigned to complete a 20-minute film. Other teachers are bracing for more-detrimental disruptions.Īaron Lemos' seniors in the film program at John F. "We have to do something different because of a crisis," said Zwiers, "but this is an opportunity to try something that might work." He's treating the shutdown as an unexpected golden opportunity for LAUSD to experiment with online learning platforms. One of those teachers - Smiley, an eighth-grade social studies teacher at Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies - said his principal asked well before Friday morning's announcement for teachers to be ready with their distance learning materials by week's end.Ī second teacher, Walter Reed Middle School math instructor John Zwiers, got similar "be-prepared-just-in-case" instructions from his principal. Three teachers from across LAUSD told KPCC/LAist they received directives from their principals to be ready - just in case of a coronavirus-related closure - to either deliver lessons online or send printed course materials home with students.

Some blow dryers use metal or plastic elements that cook (as in literally boil) the water out of your hair. Look for a blow dryer that uses ceramic heating. If you’re not willing to splurge on the Buttercup or don’t have roommates you can split it with, you can still find cheaper blow dryers that will be better for your hair than a $20 one. It might all be in my head, but I am completely convinced that this button is the difference between a good hair day and a day where I'm rocking the top bun by 3 p.m. One of the neatest features is the self-locking cool shot button, which means you can get a quick shot of cool hair without pressing the button down. I have medium-length, curly, hair, prone to frizzing, but it works just as well for me as it does on my roommate's long, straight, color-treated hair. The three temperatures and two speed settings mean that it works for me and my three roommates, despite all of us having incredibly different hair textures. It has left my hair much smoother and frizz free, and cut my dry time in half, which is maybe the best thing about it, as I am a lady who loves her sleep. I've been using the Buttercup for about a month now and, I admit it: I'm in love. When I got home, I spoke to my three roommates and we agreed that it made sense to split the Buttercup, both fiscally and because we would all be using it anyway. ![]() I asked if she was lying, but she insisted that she wasn't and it seemed to be mildly offended that I accused her of lying about blow dryers.ĭespite the Buttercup's impressive claims, adorable (albeit slightly too adorable) name, and pretty, yellow hue, I left Sephora, resisting the temptation to make an impulse purchase. "A better dryer equals better hair," she said. She explained to me that the Buttercup contains conditioning nano beads that seals your hair's cuticles, leaving hair noticeably more silky than, say, my broken $20 blow dryer. I asked the sales associate if she honestly and truly believed that the Buttercup was worth the steep price point, and, if so, why. The Buttercup Blow Dryer rings in at $195, which is a bit more than I'm willing to spend on a blow dryer.ĭrybar Buttercup Blow Dryer, $195, Sephora You pay at least $60 for a blowout at a traditional salon, so why not pay a fraction of that? I've never actually been to a Drybar, but I have friends who rave about it, so I figured I could trust their product. The first time I heard about it, it sounded to me like something out of a Saturday Night Live skit, but the more I learned, the more it made sense. For those who don't know, Drybar is a blow dry bar in Manhattan that does blowouts (and only blowouts) for $40. The sales associate at Sephora pointed me to the Drybar Buttercup Blow Dryer. So, I headed to Sephora to see if expensive blow dryers are actually worth the dent in my bank account. I splurged on my hair-straightener, but I’ve always sort of assumed that blow dryers were one of those beauty items you could save on. What I didn't tell my hairdresser is that, not only did I cheap out on a drugstore blow-dryer, it is five years old and has a two-inch hole burnt in the diffuser. When she asked what kind of blow dryer I was using I just shrugged and said, "I don't know. I sat in humiliation as my hairdresser remarked how damaged my hair was. Recently, though, I took one look at the frizzy mess of split ends that had become my hair and decided it was time to bite the bullet and take a visit to the salon. For nearly a year, I swore off scissors, becoming more fearful of my hairdresser than my dentist. Ever since I impulsively chopped off all my hair last spring, I have been (not so) patiently waiting for my hair to grow back. ![]() 8/19/2023 0 Comments Ge space saver microwave![]() ![]() The control panel is large and the slightly raised buttons are easy to press. In our tests, we did find the door to be quieter than other microwaves we tested, but cannot confirm that it is 80% quieter. A mute button turns off all beeps and the soft-close door claims to be 80% quieter than most microwaves on the market. We love the thoughtful construction of Breville appliances - and this quiet and attractive microwave lives up to the brand's reputation. We love the handlebar design for opening the door - rather than a button you push - because it's more ergonomic. This pick also offers a mute button to turn off beeps and alerts when the cooking time ends. It completely and evenly melted cheese, produced four perfectly cooked baked potatoes and reheated a large casserole of mac and cheese more evenly than 11 other models we tested. In our recent testing, this microwave had the most even heat distribution out of all microwaves tested. This model has inverter technology which according to Lab Assistant, Nikolas Greenwald, "distributes energy continuously, ultimately resulting in a more efficient application of energy to your food." If you use the "sensor cook" preset, it will utilize the microwave's built-in humidity sensor to adjust power and cooking time accordingly. This model offers seven different ways to cook - microwave, air fry, convection, broil, defrost, sensor cook and “combi” cook- making it a true multitasker in the kitchen. It has all the necessary features and more including food presets (that are listed on the interior), a child safety lock and a plus-30-seconds button. This Toshiba has the perfect combination of size and power – it’s smaller than most of the other high-power, 1000-watt microwaves we tested but still fits a dinner plate nicely. When we evaluate countertop microwaves, we appreciate when they do not require any special installation, can be moved around easily but don't slide around on your countertop and are generally affordable. We assessed everything from ease of opening the door to popping popcorn and if they offered air fry, toast or convection settings, we tested those as well.

This kind of plug is used for RVs that require lower power consumption, usually ones with only one RV air conditioning rooftop unit. Your 30 amp plug is usually shorter and has 3 prongs.

It’s the first time two Black quarterbacks will face each other on the NFL’s biggest stage. Super Bowl history is on tap here.īut unlike David Tyree’s helmet catch or Malcolm Butler’s interception at the goal line - both of which happened here - State Farm Stadium will be home Sunday to a different kind of landmark moment. (Photograph of Jalen Hurts by Seth Wenig / Associated Press photograph of Patrick Mahomes by Ed Zurga / Associated Press photo illustration by Tim Hubbard / Los Angeles Times) He spent nine days in the hospital, six months on disability, and still has titanium rods in his back that stabilize his spine. He landed with such force, he broke two of the seats and uprooted them from the concrete.Īstoundingly, Meers survived, although his injuries were severe: seven broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a fractured tailbone, a crushed sacrum and a broken T-12 vertebrae. There was a malfunction, however, and instead of falling 25 feet, he tumbled 75 feet into the seats on the top deck of the stadium. He was going to jump out of the lights at the top of the stadium on a bungee cord that would transition to a zip line carrying him safely down to the field. 23, 2013, when Meers was practicing a stunt at Arrowhead Stadium for a game against the San Diego Chargers the next day. Meers, who plays KC Wolf for the Kansas City Chiefs, nearly lost his life on the job. ![]() ![]() As Dan Meers can tell you, it’s not all fun and frivolity being an NFL mascot. Rihanna opened the show, her first in years, on a suspended platform high above the field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., with the throbbing rap track “Bitch Better Have My Money” before segueing into a series of her uptempo EDM cuts: “Where Have You Been,” “Only Girl (In the World)” and “We Found Love.” Backed by an expansive cast of dancers in white hooded coats, she also performed parts of “Rude Boy,” “Work,” “Wild Thoughts,” “Pour It Up,” “All of the Lights,” “Run This Town,” “Umbrella” and “Diamonds.” Thirteen minutes or so of quick-cut pop bangers minus the type of special guest that halftime typically features, Rihanna’s show also raised immediate speculation on social media that the 34-year-old superstar - who appeared in a billowing red jacket over a form-fitting vinyl-ish bodice - is pregnant for the second time, less than a year after she gave birth to her first child with rapper ASAP Rocky. Rihanna made her long-awaited return to the stage - on the biggest stage in all of pop music - with her fiery halftime performance at Sunday’s Super Bowl LVII. There are so many plays that contribute to the end result of the game, and today they were better than we were.” “I know it always appears to be that it’s one call. “Those guys got to do that in split-second scenarios. “It’s not my job to make the call,” Sirianni said.

Choose whether you're writing a half-hour or hour long show. You don't have to know everything yet, but be sure to start jotting down ideas and plot lines for everyone. And if you're writing a TV series about humanity's inclination to murder each other and go to war ( Game of Thrones), you're writing a serial.Īdditionally, before you move onward, start exploring your main character/s and themes, and eventually your side characters. If you are writing a series where every episode the characters solve a murder ( CSI, Criminal Minds), you're writing an episodic series. This only matters for the first two types of television shows, where a conflict must be able to sustain the series the entire way through.įor instance, if you are writing a show that is about solving one murder case, you are likely writing an anthology ( American Crime Story) or limited series ( The Night Of). ![]() You might be wondering why these differences matter. If you've read my post on why Game of Thrones works for television when Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter never could, you'll understand the notion of renewable conflict, something Rabkin details well in his book. Examples of limited series are The Night Of and Over the Garden Wall, though I'd argue Stranger Things is a limited series as well, though the writers seem to think otherwise (and I believe they will get themselves in trouble for this!) A limited series is in many ways the closest thing to a novel, each episode existing as a sort of chapter and most of the plot lines coming to a close in the final episode. They tell one story in one "season" with no promise of a following season or connection in any way. Much like anthology series, limited series only average about ten episodes or so, though there is no set number. Examples include American Horror Story, Fargo, and True Detective. AnthologyĪnthology series differ from the first two in that each season or episode, a new story or set of characters is presented, but they all exist under the same themes or worlds. Most episodic shows are comedies like Friends or SpongeBob Squarepants, though even things like Adventure Time fit into this format because each episode can stand on its own without previous context. EpisodicĮpisodic TV shows are series where the previous episodes' events do not effect the next ones nor does the main conflict of that episode continue to the next one, though there might still be grand overarching changes like characters leaving the show or things in the world changing. It is usually what people think of when they think about a classic drama. Some examples of serial shows are Breaking Bad, Lost, Mad Men, and so forth. This is part of (in my opinion) what makes coming up with a strong pilot so difficult. SerialĪ serial TV show is much like a novel series or movie series in that the major plot and conflict span the entire duration of the show. Below the four types are listed with examples to help you decide which TV show you are writing. As of now, there are four main types of television shows, each one offering something different. Determine whether your TV pilot idea is either a serial/episodic or an anthology/limited seriesīefore you even begin to start outlining your TV show, you need to understand what type of TV show you are writing in the first place. It's worth noting that almost all of this knowledge in terms of what makes a strong pilot (for a serial show) come from the short and well-written book, Writing the Pilot by William Rabkin, which I highly recommend should you wish to write for TV, and my knowledge of television structure comes from my pilot writing professor in undergrad, Beau Thorne. ![]() (Note: this post contains affiliate links. So with that in mind, read on to see how to get started writing your first pilot. When you write a pilot you can submit it to competitions and networks without working tirelessly over an entire series and further demonstrate your ability to tell a story, albeit a slightly different one. While there's no "right answer" here, there certainly is a solid starting point - writing a pilot. Do you write a Bible for your show first? Do you map out the entire series? Or do you just write the entire thing like that True Detective guy did? In fact, screenwriting classes only recently began to offer television writing as a course, yet with the growing market it's become an essential skill as a screenwriter to have a TV pilot in your arsenal.īecause of that, it's hard to know where to start. However, despite this big moment, TV writing can be incredibly baffling to some, especially given that most shows are written by not just one person but a huge team of people. ![]() ![]() They moved Arthas's entrance to the Culling of Stratholme to the southern entrance to showcase the familiarity to the WoW dungeon version from Wrath of the Lich King.The focus right now is getting the existing game right, but there is potential for new stories and campaigns in the future.There is a possibility you will be able to que as a group of 2 and matched with 2 strangers for a 4 v 4.
