In my Teaching Grammar and Mechanics Grades 4-8programs, my subject and predicate lessons focus on removing prepositional phrases, interjections, and expletives from the hunt for the sentence subject. Example: There are many students who do their best. To eliminate the unnecessary “here” and “there” words at the beginning of a sentence of clause, revise to place the subject of the sentence at the beginning. The “here” and “there” + “to be” verb constructions are frequently followed by a noun or pronoun and a relative clause beginning with that, which, or who. The unnecessary “here” and “there” words begin sentences or clauses and follow with “to be” verbs ( is, am, are, was, were, be, being, and been). Our language application task is to delete the unnecessary “here” and “there” words. My Writing Openers Language Application Grades 4-8 programs provide this instruction in one of 56 lessons: Students (will a little of your prompting) will eventually revise as “Darling, we have ways to fix this mess.” Help students brainstorm deletions of the there interjections and expletive. If the word or phrase does not contribute meaning, get rid of it!ĭemonstrate the difference between padded and concise writing with this example: There, there, darling. ![]() I remind students that we shouldn’t use padded words or expressions because readers like concise writing. When teaching Jerry’s here and there memory trick, I teach students that even though the trick works only for there adverbs, good writers learn to avoid the other uses of there in their writing. In my Differentiated Spelling Instruction Grades 4-8, I provide the words for students to sort into the “ere” spelling categories and the spelling test focuses on this spelling pattern. The best spelling practice is to create a spelling sort to compare and contrast the “ere” spellings. Unfortunately, the adverbial usage and its spelling memory trick does not work with the interjection (definition 5) and expletive (definition 6) meanings. Conversely, these here and there or here and where relationships help students remember to spell here to indicate location and not hear. Students have fewer problems with the here spelling, and so the memory trick works to connect the unknown there and where spellings to the known (and rule-conforming here spelling (a silent final e making the preceding vowel before a single consonant into a long sound). Doing so reminds students that the adverbial meaning and usage (definitions 1-4) of the word there refers to location, so here and there or here and where establish memorable connections and so assist spelling memory. Jerry writes the word there on the board and underlines the here within the word (t here). Jerry Lebo, author of numerous phonics books, suggests a spelling memory trick to help students remember the there spelling. The following memory trick works with both there and where. I suggest introducing the where spelling along with the there. The where is also a top 100 sight word and is often confused with were by poor spellers. Because there is a rule-breaker, it must be memorized as such. Edward Fry’s top 100 list of high frequency sight words. Teach students that one of the reasons that there is such a difficult spelling is because it is a sight word, often called an outlaw word. The word does not follow spelling rules. The online dictionary, Merriam-Webster, provides the following definitions (with my own formatting, revision, and additions): Follow this lesson plan, and I guarantee that your students will make fewer there, their, and they’re errors. I suggest teaching word relationships in the context of meaning and usage, spelling rules, and writing application. Additionally, we fail to help students place the learning into their long term memories. My take is that students fail to master proper usage and spelling of tricky word relationships because our instruction lacks conceptual depth. So, how can we teach and help students remember the proper usage and spelling of the troublesome there, their, and they’re words? However, we have no excuses for failing to proofread something that will be published (or tweeted, Mr. Now, to be fair… most of us have misused a there, their, and they’re word at one time or another. If not, there blood, sweat and tears was a waist of time. ![]() “Looks to me like the Bernie people will fight. The reaction to President Trump’s mistake in his Jtweet was speedy and judgmental: Indeed, linguists tend to classify the misuse of there, their, and they’re as high stake grammatical errors. The Copyblogger site includes these three words in the article, “ Five Grammatical Errors That Make You Look Dumb.” Students (and even presidents) have problems using the there, their, and they’re words appropriately and spelling them correctly. Anything worth teaching is worth teaching well.

One of the highlights was an opportunity to meet with three of the lead cast members from the show: Clinton Greenspan (Aladdin), Kaenaonalani Kekoa (Jasmine) and Colt Prattes (Kassim). In addition, campers worked on craft projects and learned to dance and sing with sign language to “Aladdin” songs, which they performed for the Music Hall staff on the last day of the camp. “We related that song to how the children can indicate when they need devices or when they might need extra help in class,” Thibodeau said.Īdvocacy discussions at the camp were mixed with several sessions that featured performers, costumers and technicians from the touring “Aladdin” show, which was in Dallas for 2½ weeks. She told the Aladdin campers that the song “Speechless,” sung by Princess Jasmine in the show, had a great message about speaking up when they need help.

I think it’s very important for them to know that they are not the only ones, and they can be reassured that there are other people out there going through the same thing. “This is a place where the kids feel uniformity - where they feel the same as everybody else. Linda Thibodeau, a professor in BBS and camp co-director. “This was a great opportunity to teach children about behind-the-scenes theater while also educating them about how they can enjoy theater performances with hearing-assistance equipment,” said Dr. Twenty-five children, ages 5 through 17, attended the camp, held at the Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas. The camp was a collaboration between Callier, the audiology doctoral program in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), Dallas Summer Musicals and Disney. The Aladdin Camp is one of several camps offered for children with special needs by the Callier Center for Communication Disorders. A recent University of Texas at Dallas Aladdin Camp, however, was extra special because the children - most of whom wore hearing aids or cochlear implants - had the opportunity to learn about theater from the Broadway touring company for Disney’s “Aladdin.” A Disney costumer told camp participants it takes a full semitrailer to transport all of the show’s costumes.Īrts and crafts, learning new songs and having fun with friends are the usual stuff of summer camps.

With five years of data, SSDs are doing very well overall. ![]() This supports the anecdotal stories and educated guesses made by our readers over the past year or so. However, such exceptions only affect a small number of people.īackblaze concludes its report by stating, "At this point we can reasonably claim that SSDs are more reliable than HDDs, at least when used as boot drives in our environment. It's still possible for other factors like excessive writes or poorly designed firmware and controllers to cause earlier SSD deaths. While this isn't that surprising, given SSDs have no moving parts, it is good to finally have some hard details based on thousands of drives showing that average SSD life expectancy will far outweigh hard drives, especially once storage starts to get old. That translates into a 3x reliability improvement for SSDs over hard drives. Meanwhile, Backblaze's SSDs head in the compete opposite direction, declining from 1.05% to an impressive 0.92% average. HDD boot drive lifespan results take a drastic uptick in failure rates, jumping from just under 2% to 3.6% within a year. The charts start to change drastically in favor of SSDs at year 5. At year 4, HDDs are hovering around the 1.8% mark while SSDs have barely passed the 1% mark. This linear increase in failures duplicates itself in year 3 and year 4 as well, with both SSDs and HDDs showing similar failure rate curves - though with SSD's being lower overall. Year two steps things up in an almost perfectly linear fashion, with HDDs and SSDs seeing a roughly 0.85% increase in failure rates. Year 1 by far shows us the lowest failure rates of all, with under a 0.66% failure rate for HDDs and no failure rate at all for SSDs. However, due to the newness of the drives, it has taken five years for the company to really being seeing any noteworthy differences in overall average SSD lifespan behavior compared to its HDD boot drive lifespans with the same age.Ģ018 all the way to 2021 sees average SSD lifespan records that are nearly identical to hard drive failure rates. ![]() But this time, Backblaze's new update confirms that SSDs are more reliable than hard drives.īackblaze began recording SSD lifespans when it started switching from HDD boot drives to SSD boot drives in its backup servers.

Most of the shades lasted me at least 5 hours with minimal eating and drinking. The colours are mostly opaque but they all tend to be a lot lighter and duller on the lips than hand swatches, so it’s best to look at lip swatches before you making your purchasing decisions. Application is a breeze as you can easily line and fill your lips with the doe foot applicator which provided a consistent flow of colour. To sum things up, the lighter shades definitely look more streaky than darker ones. Then, using a damp towel (or cotton puff), remove the product off your lips. Vaseline) and let it sit for a few minutes (in the meantime you can remove the makeup on other parts of your face). To remove matte liquid lipsticks, dab your lips with some petroleum jelly (e.g. If you’re facing the same problem, here’s a tip: The very first time I use these matte liquid lipsticks, I didn’t know how to remove them! Some of them have such great staying power, even my regular makeup wipes couldn’t work. I had to constantly rub my lips (which explains the powdery texture along the corners because I didn’t want to retouch it) so that some colours would transfer to the areas where the lipstick had worn off. There was still quite a fair bit of product left on my lips after spending close to 9 hours outdoor under the sweltering heat, eating and drinking. But as anxious as I was, my excitement soon took over when the delivery man came knocking on my door! That’s 16 days of agonizing wait and also the longest I’ve experienced so far. However, due to high volume of orders being received during that period, my order took a whole 6 business days (as opposed to the usual 3-5 days) to be processed and shipped and another 10 days for it to arrive at my doorstep. Using a freight forwarder (because it’s cheaper that way), I placed my first order with ColourPop early last month when new shades were launched for its matte liquid lipstick range. I am particularly interested in their matte liquid lipsticks because public reception of it has been mainly positive and I was enticed by the promising swatches on Instagram.

YP, a non-drill rapper who frequently collaborates with drill heavyweights like Lil Durk and King Louie, signed a major label deal in the months before Keef broke. Chicago's hot right now, and I'm what's different." People are looking for something different. "I think the window of opportunity for artists such as myself is bigger. "I feel like drill is dying down because there's only so much you can take of the same stuff just over and over," says Logan, a 19- year-old rapper from Little Village who headlines a show at Reggie's Rock Club Sunday night (Saba will also perform). In the wake of Keef and Chance (Chicago hip-hop's "yin and yang, so to speak," says Barber), the national spotlight remains on Chicago, and local artists are jockeying for position.

"Not in the sense of sound, but (in) subject matter, the only difference between me and most of the drill rappers is perspective. "I like to think of myself as somewhere in between," says Saba, a member of the influential Pivot Gang crew, who landed a career-making feature on Chance's "Acid Rap" mixtape. Many of them, in the time-honored tradition of artists everywhere, draw from both sides, incorporating elements from drill and from Chance's unclassifiable, soul-and-psych-heavy sound, but also from drill antecedent trap, and the clattering industrial beats of West's "Yeezus." Nerd-like, experimental and controversy-free, Chance and Mensa have in turn helped foster a new wave of rappers. ![]() Non-drill artists like Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa, leveraging the increased attention from journalists and label executives, became nationally known much faster than they would have otherwise.

Our sockets and wrenches always end up in a mess at the back of the drawer. Compare this with something like the Monster Work Bench which was recently reviewed at Shop Tool Reviews. The mechanism then sucks the drawer in all the way without bouncing your tools. It allows you to shut the drawers with some force while not tossing your tools all over the place. ![]() If you’re not doing a positive handle lock, then soft-close is the way to go. I’m often surprised why more toolboxes don’t feature this. The drawers have a really nice soft-close feature. After attending the 2016 SEMA Show, I’ve seen more than a few tool boxes, and these look and feel nicer than most. They’re definitely going after at least the casual mechanic or serious DIY shop guy. It’s honestly a better look than most other toolboxes I’ve seen. Both have replaced the shiny handles with gloss black, giving them a new “black on black” look. Husky Tool Box and Workbench Features & Build Quality Husky Tool Chest and Husky Workbench Aestheticsīoth the new Husky Tool Box and the Husky Work Bench share a lot of features. Since the three tool boxes we received share so many features, this is a comprehensive review that covers them all. Getting them in for review was a natural next step, and we’ll go over my thoughts on that in detail below. My initial impression was: They nailed it-at least on first inspection. I first saw the new Husky tool chest and Husky work bench at The Home Depot’s Holiday Media Preview event in New York City. While color isn’t everything-in this case it mattered. While the red Milwaukee steel chest was a top performer-it was very…well, red. Our DeWalt 36″ tool chest was the same-only yellow. We also wanted them to hold our assortment of tools without a problem. When we were setting up our Shop for video reviews, we wanted a set of tool boxes that would work well as a backdrop. They’re tougher tool chests, they have better drawers, upgraded slides, and all models sport a new look that’s stunningly subdued. I have to tell you, the new Husky tool boxes and work bench that came out this year absolutely blow all that out of the water. Where they may have been lacking was in the area of drawer slides, and how the handles connected to the drawers. I also loved the 46″ Husky workbench and continue using it even today. Those Husky tool boxes were priced competitively, and had some features that made them a pretty good value. It was black, so it didn’t stick out like a sore thumb. It had nice secure-latch drawers that kept them closed. This may be the best tool box value you will find anywhere. Our favorites are the soft close drawers and tough slides. You really need to see the new Husky tool chests and workbench to believe how well they’re made. ![]()
