The Starfall Education Foundation is a publicly supported nonprofit organization that has both free and low-cost resources to make learning fun. Like to know the nitty-gritty of a resource before using it with your kids? Same! Instead of worrying if you’re doing enough, you can feel good about what and how your kids are learning. Outsourcing with an online educational resource is beneficial for your kids AND you. Having additional activities for younger children to use on a mobile device or via Starfall website on a desktop is amazing! While it’s wonderful spending special time with your kids snuggling over a good book, you do NOT have to do it all – especially when you’re busy, like being a WAHM, homeschooling other kids, dealing with special needs, or other situation that requires attention. Oh, and we often think we have to do it all. Adding more instructions, time, or details, however, isn’t the best way to help your kids master concepts. Starfall interactive games and videos are short and engaging, with songs and music in a colorful presentation.Īs parents, we tend to overcomplicate and think that more is better. I call those views the 3 S’s of Learning Fun: Starfall Education site shares my views for keeping learning fun. One of the ways that I did that was remembering how how effective it was to use resources that we could relax with and enjoy.Īnd I bet you can guess that Starfall was one of those resources □ I learned to let go and not fuss over every little detail. I put together a schedule crammed with lessons and activities. When we started our official homeschool journey (back in 2012), I thought I had to replicate public school at home. Making Learning Fun for Your Kids Does NOT Have to Be Hard I am, however, eternally grateful for this interactive learning platform for younger kids. (Those early years with preschoolers, toddlers, and babies are a blur.) I don’t exactly recall how I found out about Starfall Education site. As Captain got older (and we added more boys to the crew), I searched for easy yet powerful ways to boost learning at home and keep him engaged. Most of our early resources consisted of songs, nursery rhymes, and books. And looking for meaningful resources to weave into his development. But, that’s a lie.Īctually, our homeschool adventures started as soon as our oldest (Captain) was born – 18+ years ago.įrom the moment our first boy entered this world, I started teaching him. I’ve been going around saying that we’ve been homeschooling for over 10 years. My Favorite Way to Make Learning Fun: A Starfall Review.Making Learning Fun for Your Kids Does NOT Have to Be Hard.How Our Family & Homeschool Has Grown with Starfall. At least the boys got a little thrill for the holidays, though, and isn’t that what it’s all about? In true anime tradition, I’m secure in my prediction that any advance made by the guys in this episode will be lost and they’ll start back at square zero whenever the series decides to bring the romance angle back in again. The scenes provides a bit of kawaii romance of the holidays, topped off by a couple of cute bookend scenes between the potential couples, including one where Shouta gifts Aya a pair of mittens. The pairs line up just right, so it’s very cute-and this being anime, Emilia plays the very forceful mate to Midori’s male moneymaker. I think we already knew that the extremely loud Shouta likes the extremely loud Aya, but there’s a revelation here that shy Ryuuji likes quiet Miki. The purpose here, at least in terms of the Christmas episode, is to bring some romance in. It’s kind of cool because the guys are playing on one side of the table at the same time as the girls play on the other, and then they come together to see what each pair is able (and willing) to purchase. Players pair up, boy and girl, with the guys having the objective of making money by flipping these coins representing commodities and selling them with cards that give values, and the girls shop, determining which dresses and accessories they want to wear. Ladies & Gentleman (Boys and Girls)Īt the actual Christmas party, Emilia (Who doesn’t have a last name? What is she, a secret gaming agent?) whips out Ladies and Gentleman, the most sexist game this side of the U.K. Think of broken relationships as you play. Troubles should arise, as they do, even if the conclusion is wrapped up a little too cleanly with a bow on top.īy the way, I highly encourage you to purchase Blokus for yourself. Aya also doesn’t know how to react-she has all this emotion pent up, both in bitterness and a need for affection. Aya’s father really feels like a genuine, clueless Dad, and one that is also parenting like an absent father, one without experience. I should note that there’s actually some authenticity in the relationship here. The analogy is heartfelt and eventually taken, as daughter and father reconcile. He’s absolutely right with his explanation, as you need their pieces so that you can curl around them and into whatever spaces you can find. It’s simple yet strategic, as the owner notes: At first, you’re trying to extend into others’ territory, but you win by letting others into yours. Up to four players can play, each taking one side, and whomever uses the most total blocks wins. If you’ve never played, the objective is to use block pieces that look like they’re out of Tetris and fill in as many blanks as possible on a large square board. We love playing Blokus around my own home. This part of the episode was why I tuned in originally. The game store owner is able to imbibe some wisdom into the situation, however, by having Aya and her father play Blokus along with Miki and Midori. Aya, ever the tsundere, is furious (BAKA!). However, in the worst Clueless Dad fashion, Aya’s father spends about one full day with his daughters before taking another assignment, totally forgetting about the Christmas party. She’s of course super excited and wants to invites him to a holiday party hosted by another of the club members so that he can meet her friends. But after being away on assignment for two years, Aya’s father finally makes it home for a visit right around the holidays. In typical anime fashion, Aya apparently lives without either of her parents she and her sister make it quite fine on their own, thank you very much, with mother MIA (someone can perhaps fill me in on this) and her father traveling the world as a wildlife photographer, and especially absent since divorcing Aya’s mom. The episode is split into two halves: Blokus and FamilyĪya Takayashiki and her father are the focus of the first part. I’d only seen one episode of After School Dice Club previously and armed with that light context, I was able to get about 95% of what was going on, while my wife filled me in on the rest. This episode is quite nice, actually, and you can go into it without having to know much about the series. Okay, maybe it doesn’t go into anything particularly deep (and we do hope that you’ll find time this year to really consider what Christmas is really all about and celebrate it in a meaningful way), but light and fluffy isn’t necessarily bad, and it’s at the better end of what we can expect out of anime. Episode 10 of After School Dice Club, appropriately titled, “”Happy Holy Night,” is a clever episode, using two board games, Ladies and Gentleman and Blokus, to explain the true meaning of Christmas: family and shopping. One of football’s great nomads, Morata has already completed four major transfers between some of Europe’s biggest clubs. Just Philippe Coutinho doing Philippe Coutinho things □ #GoalOfTheDay /zjh5m98YAz It’s lovely to see a player of Coutinho’s ability playing with a smile on his face again but we can’t help thinking this wasn’t part of the plan… He’s now in the process of becoming a cult hero at Aston Villa. The Brazil international has failed to live up to expectations at the Camp Nou and the transfer was summed up when Coutinho scored two goals against Barcelona during his loan spell at Bayern Munich in 2019-20. All I can say is that he is a player I really like.” 7. Philippe Coutinho – £150.5mĬoutinho joined Liverpool from Inter Milan for just £8.5million in 2013 and was sold to Barcelona for a £133.5million profit five years later. His deal is up at the end of the season and depends on him and the club. He trains well and he is positive around the group. “That he has not been professional, that he doesn’t take care of himself… it is the opposite. “I have not had a single problem with him and I have heard all sorts. “He is an exemplary professional,” the Barca boss said. Matters appeared to come to a head in January 2022 when Barca instructed Dembele to find a new club after rejecting all offers of a contract renewal.ĭembele was jeered by Barca supporters during recent matches against Atletico Madrid and Napoli but Xavi has hinted of potential reconciliation. He has been plagued with injury problems over the last few years, while Barcelona have reportedly had several concerns about his attitude off the pitch. Ousmane Dembele – £148.5mīorussia Dortmund have an exceedingly great eye for young talent and signed Dembele from Rennes for just £13million in 2016.Īfter just a year in Germany, the winger joined Barcelona as a direct replacement for Neymar in a £135.5million deal, helping Dortmund to fund six brilliant transfers. With Barca desperate to rectify their eye-watering debt, Griezmann was loaned back to Atletico in August 2021 with a £33.4 million permanent deal in the offing at the end of the season. The France international then developed into one of the world’s best forwards under Diego Simeone’s guidance, scoring 133 goals in 257 appearances.īarcelona activated his £107million buyout clause in 2019, but the 30-year-old struggled to replicate his Atletico form at the Camp Nou. I've been particularly impressed with Aaronson, who scored his first goal of 2022/23 against Chelsea at the weekend.After coming through the ranks at Real Sociedad, Griezmann completed a £24million move to Atletico Madrid in 2014. Lee Bonfield ( decent start to the season has seen a few of their midfielders jump on to our FPL radars. I feel we have missed the boat with Rodrigo, and I also question his future minutes. Paul Gee ( player who stands out for me is Jack Harrison (£6.0m). The fixtures are there for both and the likes of Aaronson, Rodrigo, Danny Welbeck (£6.5m), who is owned by only 1.5 per cent of managers, and Lewis Dunk (£4.5m) are on my Watchlist. Have Leeds found their Raphinha 2.0? Pranil Sheth ( and Brighton are two teams who definitely interest me. He seems to have continued in the new campaign with some impressive returns. Sonaldo ( signs were there for Rodrigo after his hot pre-season form. He takes their set-pieces, although he is not on penalties, as we found out this weekend. Rodrigo (£6.3m) and Brenden Aaronson (£5.5m) are both excellent options with a good run of fixtures.Īnother player with a great schedule is Brighton & Hove Albion’s Pascal Gross (£5.7m).

FPL team news: Marsch provides Rodrigo update The love Donnie has for his family translates into every part of their lives, including battle, even when it isn't immediately obvious to anyone else.

However, this is far from the case, Rise demonstrates time and time again that Donnie deeply cares about his family, but instead of expressing it outwardly, Donnie's affection comes through in his inventions. Throughout the show, Donnie repeatedly tells us that emotion and affectionate gestures are difficult for him, which could make it seem that he has little care for his family. The GIF dimensions 384 x 288px was uploaded by anonymous user. Donnie puts all his focus on dealing strong singular attacks, but if those fail, he ends up being more exposed to the enemy as his tech has very few defensive capabilities.ĭonnie's role as a Support may not be very obvious since he tends to fight more offensively, but the way he supports his team in a fight aligns very well with how Donnie expresses his care and affection for his family. Open & share this gif hopefully, use, with everyone you know. This is Donnie when he is fighting at his most offensive as these attacks can be VERY powerful and can deal a significant amount of damage, but they also leave him rather vulnerable. With this fighting style, Donnie tends to forgo the close-range, technical combat, instead more ranged attacks that rely solely on his tech. However, in Donnie’s case, his fighting style changes in such a way that he becomes a glass cannon "But wait, ‘Glass Cannon’ describes the attributes of a character, not their fighting style,” and yes, it does. For those of you unfamiliar with it, the term 'glass cannon' comes from video games and TTRPGs and is used to describe a character that can deal a lot of damage, but has very little health and defense in return (think of wizard or ranged classes). iPhone The process to use a GIF as Apple Watch wallpaper is pretty simple.

I gotta get off.” I remember saying: “You can’t be a Byrd if you can’t fly.”ĭavid Crosby, singer-songwriter/rhythm guitar We’d get on a plane, and he’d be in a cold sweat, standing up in the aisle, saying: “I can’t stay on this plane, man. Gene left the band the month Eight Miles High was released. We put out a statement refuting those claims, but it was the end of our commercial success. When the song came out, some DJs did the sums and realised that, since commercial airliners only flew at six miles, we must have been talking about a different kind of high. Gene asked: “How high do you think that plane was flying?” I thought about seven miles, but the Beatles had a song called Eight Days a Week, so we changed it to Eight Miles High because we thought that would be cooler. It was our first time on a plane, and I had the idea of writing a song about it. The previous year, 1965, we’d been on a trip to England. That wasn’t the case: it was a collaborative effort between myself, Gene and David Crosby. In later years, Gene started to fantasise that he wrote the whole song. I was in love with his saxophone playing: all those funny little notes and fast stuff at the bottom of the range.Īt the same time, Gene Clark had some chords and a vague melody, which went into the more regular structure of Eight Miles High. It had a recurring phrase, dee da da da, which I picked up on my Rickenbacker guitar and played some jazzy stuff around it. There was one Coltrane track called India, where he was trying to emulate sitar music with his saxophone. By the end of the tour, Coltrane and Shankar were ingrained. It was the only music we had, for the whole time on the bus. But I had some blank tapes so recorded the Coltrane albums, along with some Ravi Shankar, and took them on tour. I had just picked up a cassette recorder – it was such a new thing, you couldn’t buy any tapes to play in it. We were on a tour of America, and someone played us the Coltrane albums Africa/Brass and Impressions.
In focusing on the dynamics between first-generation immigrants and native nurses, Ham’s findings clarify how immigrant’s caring practices are adapted to expectations in a Dutch context. Ham (2020), looking specifically at the Netherlands, notes that first-generation immigrants from East Africa experience refusal and noncompliance from elders in the nursing home where they work. experience both overt forms of racism such as receiving derogatory racial slurs from patients, as well as more subtle forms of racism, including patient non-compliance and questioning of authority ( Cottingham et al., 2018). reported more stress and were three times more likely to say they wanted to leave the profession than white nurses. (2007) found that nurses of color in the U.S. Nursing scholars have examined the underrepresentation and experiences of racial/ethnic, or “visible minorities,” in Europe and North America ( Berdes & Eckert, 2001 Ham, 2020 Institute of Medicine, 2011 Jefferies et al., 2019 Premji & Etowa, 2014 Tuttas, 2015). We ask, how do Dutch female nurses of color experience their work? What role might sexism, racism, and nativism play in their daily experiences as nurses? This study aims to examine the experiences of female nurses of color in the Netherlands. Whiteness is generally normalized in the Netherlands ( Dyer, 2002) and the Dutch emphasis on tolerance and progressive values often masks continuing forms of overt and subtle racism ( Wekker, 2016). While racial categories are widely recognized by scholars as a social construct without biological foundation, the social ramifications of phenotypical differences (namely, skin color) remain relevant for shaping social interactions, including interactions that result in differential treatment ( Golash-Boza, 2016). Nursing scholars argue that experiences of discrimination and racism are key barriers to successful recruitment and retention of diverse nurses and can hinder the provision of culturally competent care ( Tuttas, 2015). A legacy of associating nursing with white, middle-class women continues in North American and Europe ( Glenn, 1992 Premji & Etowa, 2014 Puzan, 2003 van Riemsdijk, 2010 Wooten & Branch, 2012). In Canada, “visible and linguistic minorities” remain “under-represented in managerial positions and over-represented in lower ranking position” in healthcare occupations ( Premji & Etowa, 2014, p. registered nurses ( Institute of Medicine, 2011), while they make up around 27 percent of the total population ( Humes et al., 2011). Racial and ethnic minorities make up roughly 17 percent of U.S. In the Netherlands, where non-Western migrants make up 13 percent of the population ( Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, 2019), less than 7 percent of nursing graduates have a non-Western background ( Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, 2015). Nursing is one form of care work that is predominantly performed by white women in North America and Western Europe. Globally, the nursing profession remains an occupation marked as feminine, with women making up the majority of nurses throughout Western and non-Western countries ( Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, 2016 Institute of Medicine, 2011 World Health Organization, 2020).
