![]() What we do is definitely with project-based learning and real world experiences. And then being that they’re going through that cycle understand that there is, they’re solving some type of problem and coming up with alternative solutions for that. And then being able to do that, they are coming up with solutions and going through the engineering design process to be able to do that. And with that project-based learning, we look to solve a real world problem. – Well, generally, when we do any STEM, we do project-based learning. So just more specifically, what are some of your favorite ways to help your learners relate STEM to the world around them? – That’s actually a great transition into this next question, because like you said, part of STEM education is linking the learning experience as it you’re having in school to the real world. So being able to expose young people to those opportunities and then just having a knowledge base for that has been something that I look forward to each day, every day. Because in the urban environment, they have limited opportunities to even know an engineer, a doctor, or scientist, or anything that may live in their community. But just the exposure and the knowledge, especially through the internet and various other medias, that being able to expose young people to these opportunities. But the focus of with regards to needing more computer programmers, needing more engineers, needing more individuals in the biomedical engineering fields, those industries have become much more popular since I was in school. – Well, I think when we talk about problem solvers from being working in team, teamwork, and everything, I think that hasn’t changed. So in your experience, how has STEM education changed over the course of your career? To be able to convert those into opportunities for them to be able to change their livelihood and change possibly the community around them. And wanted to expose them to the various opportunities through robotics, through animation, through game design, and all the other platforms that they’re interested in. And transitioning from engineering and coming into education, I saw that there was a lack of opportunities for a Black and Brown children. So everything that I’ve touched has that focus in mind that that’s been something that I’ve been doing for the last 20 years. So, being a STEM teacher or coming out as a STEM teacher, I always look to inspire the next generation of technology leaders. I mean I always, I studied the discipline of engineering and engineers are what we call problem solvers and problem solvers in various disciplines. – I mean, well, STEM, when we talk about creativity, we talk about problem solving. In your opinion, how has STEM different from other academic subjects? So, I’d love to dig into that a little bit more. But for this part one, we’re just focusing on your role as a STEM teacher. And I’m excited to get into all of those job titles later. Also the founder of New Jersey’s only black comic book and black animation film festival called KHEM FEST.

Plus, online baby registries are just easier for most family and friends. It might be fun to walk through Buy Buy Baby to see things in person, but their prices are almost ALWAYS more expensive than online options, and their selection is more limited.

![]() Thank goodness there are no vocalizations of pain or groans from the boy….just the occasional splat, or sizzle. After seeing the boy get eviscerated, decapitated, or fall to his 'death' over and over, you can get a grin at how such events can serve you as entertainment. ![]() This is not a game for young children, as the graphics can be unsettling. But thanks to the ingenious creators, everything does make sense in the end. It's great to have the walkthru's avaliable to guide you, since sometimes you would swear that some of the puzzles can't be done. There was only one puzzle that completely baffled me, even when I saw the walk thru solution. In some cases, it requires several attempts to get the correct result. What pleases me the most is the 'Aha Factor'…after almost giving up on some of the puzzles, you get that moment where it all makes sense, and try to show your solution. It also tests your hand-eye coordination.altho' the controls are simple, you must have perfect timing to execute some of the maneuvers. It is the type of game that requires patience to work through all the puzzles. So get ready to blast off in a rocket fuelled Starfield performance preview.I was looking for a game to intrigue me with its design, challenge, and physics. We also compare the improvements over the previous showing, enhancements within the engine, and much more. The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps. With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation. ![]() I wouldn't say touch controls are the ideal way to play Limbo - nothing yet invented will beat a controller on a platformer - but they work better than I could have imagined, and in doing so make iOS devices yet another way for people to enjoy this incredible game. ![]() I also appreciate that you can input these commands almost anywhere you like onscreen, so you don't have to worry about your finger slipping off of a virtual button that's getting in the way of your view. But the fact that I figured it out in a moment or two speaks to its clever design. It makes sense - which is good, because there isn't any tutorial to show you the ropes. And simply holding your finger on the screen when he is near something he can interact with will signal him to grab hold. A quick flick upwards will make him jump. The farther you drag your finger, the faster the boy will run. A slight swipe anywhere on the screen in the direction you want to walk will get you going (except the upper left, which is for accessing the chapter select menu). There is no HUD or onscreen buttons blocking your view. While the controls take a moment to get used to, it's kind of brilliant how intuitively they've been designed. From beginning to end, it never stops surprising, delighting, and horrifying the player. ![]() No cut scenes or loading screens will interrupt the action, making it easy to be swept away by Limbo's disturbing world. You set out to explore this bizarre environment but soon find it to be a dangerous place, at which point your motivation becomes clear: you need to get the hell out of there. You control a young boy who wakes up in a forest with no indication of who you are, how you got there, or where you're going. It is content-identical to the iOS version - only the controls are different.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While attending the Three Rivers residency for filmmakers, it was pointed out to him that he had to visualise the ugly and darker side of the story for the audience to comprehend the extent that his repression had warped his physical desires. His first draft of the story didn't show explicit sexual scenes. The whole issue of sexual mores and sexual violence in India was a subject that was tricky for Behl to face. "I didn't set out to break any taboos, but the subject forced me to do so," he says. In reflecting on this dark subject matter through the story of one disturbed man, Bhel has made a film that has broken many taboos, even if that wasn't the director's intention. Rape reports have risen, and many more are scared to come forward. In the aftermath of the incident, the Indian parliament introduced stiffer penalties for sexual crimes, but it seems to have made little difference to the crime rates. In 2012, a brutal gang rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi ensured India's high sexual violence rates were brought to the world's attention. Although the film doesn't try to look at the broader picture of sexual violence in India, the subtext is that men's sexual immaturity is one of the drivers making India "one of the most dangerous places to be a woman", as a 2021 Guardian report suggested. "There was this sexual repression that I had felt growing up as a boy in northern India, and not just me, I had seen so many people struggling with the delayed sexual maturity," Behl adds.īehl's film examines the problem of sexual repression, and suggests that it is connected to India's especially high sexual violence rates. "The film looks at certain secret spaces in everybody's lives, which no one wants to talk about," says the 42-year-old director. It's shocking and, at times, unbearable to watch as the Indian director tries to take the spectator inside the dangerous mind of a very sick man fantasising about overpowering women and asserting his masculinity. While this scene has an air of the absurd, Behl doesn't shy away from showing some of Guru's more angry and violent fantasies. It's a bold film where the first sex scene ends with a woman turning into a giant rodent, and we begin to realise that Guru is a fantasist. There is a touch of American Psycho's Patrick Bateman in how Guru's obsessions and delusions blur fact and fiction. Wildly frustrated, Guru spends his days addicted to dating apps and acts out a series of violent sexual fantasies, though Behl never makes clear whether these are real events, or figments of Guru's imagination. There is no space for him to have a partner or a sex life without everyone in his cramped household knowing and commenting, so he wants to have an extension built. There is the much more popular Bollywood version of Indian cinema, which a lot more people know about, and there is also the parallel independent film world where a lot of interesting work has happened, not just now or in the past 5 or 10 years, but over decades.Īgra tells the story of a repressed call centre employee named Guru, who lives in a small house with his parents and married siblings. As Behl himself says: "There are so many films made in India, and there is a split personality, almost like two different ideas of Indian cinema that are there. It is also the latest addition to a lineage of transgressive, alternative Indian cinema that barely gets talked about. Director Kanu Behl's Agra, which played last Thursday in the Director's Fortnight sidebar section, is a shocking and forthright look at sexually repressed men in India that is replete with nudity and explicit sex scenes. – Cannes review: The Zone of Interest is 'a masterpiece'īut anyone who imagines that all Indian cinema is so innocent was in for a big surprise at this year's Cannes Film Festival. – The power of Cannes hit How to Have Sex Indeed, Bollywood directors over the last century have had to find ways to depict sexiness in understated, suggestive ways that get past the disapproving glare of the controlling censors – like a big number featuring a demure actress in a white sari running through a fountain, for example. One of the things Indian cinema is known for all around the world, as well as song-and-dance numbers, is its chasteness, as a result of popular Bollywood productions, which historically didn't even allow for kissing on screen, let alone sex scenes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The most important ones are agar, alginates and carrageenans that are produced in industrial quantities and presented in the form of clear colored powders.Īgar main structure is chemically characterized by repetitive units of D-galactose and 3- 6, anhydro-L-galactose, with few variations, and a low content of sulfate esters. Phycocolloids are those gelling products extracted from marine algae that are utilized in several ways solely because of their colloidal properties. In addition, we can add that agar is also a mixture of polysaccharides made of dextro and levo galactoses united linearly.Īgar-agar, also called simply agar, was the first phycocolloid used as a food additive in our civilization having been employed in the Far East over 300 years ago. Agar is called Kanten in Japanese, which means ` frozen sky' referring to the way it was first manufactured by artisans based on freezing and thawing of the extracted agar gel in the open fields.

It’s an emotionally charged zone, full of clothes that no longer fit us (that we cling to in the hopes they will again), shirts and sweaters we begrudgingly accepted as hand-me-downs from family members, and gifts from friends we haven’t worn once (that balloon-sleeve crop top from Aunt Shirley wouldn’t even look good on Beyoncé!). You see, the clothing closet is not a receptacle for junk (although it can certainly turn into one!). Or perhaps you would understand fully what I meant and would allow the healing to commence. With your newly cleaned closet, there will be lots of room for new items as you shop for spring clothes at Turn Style.If I told you your closet needed to be healed the way a cold or spring allergies needed to be healed, you might look at me with puzzlement or an eye roll at the woo wooery of it all. Now that you’ve fully cleaned out your closet, you can bag up clothes to donate and toss, and prep clothes for consignment, starting with a fresh run through the laundry, if needed–unless of course, the tags are still on them. Then, neatly fold or hang all the clothes in your Keep pile. Unpack spring and summer clothes into your clean closetĪs you pull your items from storage containers, instead of loading them into the closet, sort them into your piles of spring and summer clothes. Before you start loading clothes back in, take time to vacuum the floor, dust shelves, and discard any broken hangers or other trash. Once you’ve removed your winter items, sort everything left in your closet into the four piles of Keep, Donate, Toss and Consign. When you are done, set these clothes aside. As you pack away your winter things, you can start sorting out your winter items into your piles. Pack away your heavy, bulky sweaters, but leave lighter cotton or linen sweaters on the shelf for cool spring days. In many locations, spring comes slowly, and the transitional weather between the seasons can be a real wardrobe challenge. Spring closet cleaning is ideal because you can also make a seasonal switch. Think stretched-out elastic waistbands, old tights or undergarments, and single socks.Ĭonsign: High-quality and well-known name brand clothes that are in like-new condition are the best choices for selling clothes to consignment shops. Toss: Clothing that is worn beyond repair or reuse. You can make a separate pile for clothes to keep that need mending or repair.ĭonate: Items you haven’t worn for the last six months, do not fit, or are in less than like-new condition (but still look good and aren’t beyond repair). Keep: Items you love, that fit you well, make you feel great, and are in good condition. How will you know what pile to put your clothes in? We advise you to add a fourth pile: Consign. Traditionally, when giving tips for cleaning out your closets, professional organizers advise you to create Keep, Donate, and Toss piles. Reserve from two to four hours to clean your closet. Once you’ve sorted out all your clothes, you can consider selling your clothes to a consignment shop… like Turn Style!
