What I found personally was that the children really responded well to sensory input and sensory stimulation. We started a sensory center - we still do it to a certain degree. Our goal is to find places to be innovative. The agency has been blossoming since then. Then we added on the kindergarten program (at Spotted Zebra). When my children were kindergarten age, I felt they needed one more year to be solid to enter public school. By the fall of 2006, we had three classrooms up and running with 14 children in each. In 2006, I decided I wanted to be here, this is where my heart was. Q: I'm a twin, so I can relate to a parent trying to find care for two kids at the same time.Ī: In the first class, we had five sets of twins and a set of triplets. and then transitions to a child care service who may not be familiar with them, or may not be using the protocols or techniques to bring out the best of them. Even to this day, before- and after-care when children are approved for specialized care is hard to find. Q: In a sense, starting Spotted Zebra was inspired by your own children, correct?Ī: Like every person, I had the dream for my kids going to a typical preschool and having that typical experience.

The following section gathers key elements of DXOMARK’s exhaustive tests and analyses. More details on smartphone camera scores are available here. For more information about the DXOMARK Camera protocol, click here. Photo, Zoom, and Video quality are scored separately and then combined into an Overall score for comparison among the cameras in different devices. Testing a smartphone involves a team of engineers and technicians for about a week. The scores rely on objective tests for which the results are calculated directly by measurement software on our laboratory setups, and on perceptual tests in which a sophisticated set of metrics allow a panel of image experts to compare aspects of image quality that require human judgment. Test summaryĪbout DXOMARK Camera tests: DXOMARK’s Camera evaluations take place in laboratories and in real-world situations using a wide variety of subjects. ![]() In the case of the Pixel 7, this was 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, with the HDR10+ option disabled. However, temporal noise was visible, especially in HDR and low-light scenes.ĭXOMARK tests video at the settings that provide the overall best quality. Detail was good, especially in bright light, and the stabilization did a good job of keeping things steady. The autofocus reacted swiftly and kept moving subjects in focus. In video clips, the Pixel 7 delivered good exposure and a wide dynamic range. Zoom performance was where the Pixel 7 lagged behind the Pixel 7 Pro, due to the lack of a dedicated tele lens and a narrower field of view on the ultra-wide camera. On the downside, some noise was noticeable in the shadow areas of the frame. The autofocus was fast and accurate, test images showed high levels of detail, and artifacts were well under control, with only some aliasing noticeable. Target exposure was accurate, with a wide dynamic range and nice contrast, making the Google device a great option for portrait photography. In still images, the Pixel 7 delivered nice skin tones and natural white balance in most test conditions. But as our results showed, that didn’t deter from the Pixel 7’s excellent camera experience. With both two models having the same primary camera and a nearly the same ultra-wide camera, the major difference in the setup is that the Pixel 7 is not equipped with a tele module like the Pixel 7 Pro.

Just a bunch of incomprehensible drug addicts. In which case, however you would expect that the director would shoot the film with the subjectivity of the drug-taker so that we know what’s it like to be wrapped around the nonsensical impulses of that stimulant. Maybe we are to believe that it’s because they’re all off their faces on khat. Despite the $50 million budget and a century of Hollywood, none of the Somali characters are given consistent motive or character. Instead, it is the man who was sleeping in the room earlier who emerges as the central character and apart from the fact that he sleeps on the floor of his home and has a little brother / nephew / cousin, there is no back story. The middle aged bearded pirate captain disappears from the story when his boat turns around mid-pursuit, scared off by Phillips’s ploy of radioing on a channel that he knows the pirates will pick up (they all understand English) as if speaking to a waiting crew of US fighter pilots. A central Somali character with a back story comparable to Captain Phillips’s. In a normal, standard Hollywood film here you would have had a counterpoint. We seem sure that he will have a part to play later. There is a man picked for being big and strong. He is about Hanks’s age and appears to be set up as a counterpoint to him. The man with a beard seems to have a less wild, more intelligent look to him. The men form a circle and shout at each other a lot. They offer bribes – in the form of khat of course (Somalis are all desperate drug addicts) – to be chosen: “This is a good khat. Suddenly, the people who had been so terrorised by these motiveless and shadowy milita and begging not to have to be pirates anymore are all competing desperately to be picked for the pirate crew. “We got you one last week,” says a bearded fisherman-looking bloke. The invisible people in the car shout and fire rifles in the air. A boy runs into a room and wakes up an unidentified sleeping man. People shout (there’s lots of shouting in Somalia). The camera is even shakier and grainier than before. So we leave Hanks worrying about the fading American dream and move to the heart of modernday darkness and the visualised nightmare of his nation’s insecurity. I’m not sure our son is taking school serious enough.” That kind of thing. In my day you just got your head down and you could become a ship’s captain. ![]() We will empathise with this good family guy.Īs he rides the freeway to the airport with his wife, we straight away get the anxiety in the American psyche that will become a feature of the whole film: “I just don’t know anymore, it’s going to be so hard for our kids now. It starts with Tom Hanks at home, packing his bag while Paul Greengrass’s ‘trademark’ shaky camera gives us a poignant close up of Hanks’s hand lingering over the family portrait he is going to take with him on his dangerous voyage. ![]() Even an intelligent critic like Mark Kermode in the Guardian writes optimistically (picking up on the language of the film’s official blurb quoted above) “For all its action aesthetics and nail-biting, gut-wrenching tension, this is on some level a film about globalisation, about what happens when the paths of the very poor and the very rich intersect in the crossfire of world economics.” Indeed, on ‘some level’ it is, but it is only about that on the level that the very rich in the world wish their people to view the very poor. You wouldn’t have thought it given the reviews. ![]() It wasn’t that I expected it to be great, it just turned out to be even worse than I had imagined. What we get is a boring film full of American end-of-empire angst with a not very subtle portrait of Somalis as entirely subhuman. Tom Hanks plays the captain of the title, and we are promised, “simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization”. “The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years”, is how it is sold. I got some free tickets this week to see Captain Phillips at the cinema. ![]() 10/18/2023 0 Comments Walmart pharmacy technician training![]() EarningsĪccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, pharmacy technicians can expect to earn between $10.95 and $18.98 per hour. Pharmacy technicians who go on to pursue an education at an accredited pharmacy school are also eligible for scholarships at organizations like the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS), the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP). Wal-mart pharmacy technicians are eligible to pursue multiple career paths within the organization and scholarships at accredited pharmacy schools and to receive medical and dental benefits. Touch screen and radio frequency technology maximize the time Wal-mart staff spends with pharmacy patients. According to the Wal-mart Corporate, Connexus improves efficiency and accuracy in the pharmacy through ease of use and the creation of a paperless work environment. Connexus is Wal-mart's internal pharamacy management system that allows Wal-mart pharmacy staff to provide better service to its customers. Wal-mart's pharmacy technicians are trained on how to use Wal-mart's proprietary software system, Connexus. Certification may also provide technicians with a competitive advantage over noncertified technicians through the creation of a knowledge base relevant to the position. The same report also states that certified technicians may earn more than noncertified ones. ConsiderationsĪlthough Wal-mart provides its pharmacy technicians with comprehensive, on-the-job training, according to the 2010-2011 edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook, employers favor applicants who have already completed formal training and certification programs. Pharmacy associates also benefit from free continuing education through the company's intranet site, StoreNet. If there are not already experienced pharmacy technicians at the location where the new technician will be working, the new technician may be sent to another Wal-mart store for observation and to complete the live practice there. ![]() Wal-mart's pharmacy technician training consists of a mix of computer-based learning, with an exam following each section, and live practice. ![]() 10/18/2023 0 Comments Father and son duo meaning![]() For anyone reading this who is considering going back to school, it really is never too late.” “When you go back to school because you want to – not because you feel like you have to – it takes on a different meaning,” Sean said. “I felt like I had a zest for learning when I came back to school, whereas, when I was younger, it did not have much appeal for me. His advice to anyone considering going back to school later in life is simple: “Do it!” Sean attributed Logan approaching high school graduation as the driving factor to go back to school. “My dad has always let me make my own mistakes, so I could learn from them, but also is a helping hand when I needed him.”Ī Florida real estate broker and property investor, Sean said going back to school to obtain his degree in finance has helped him learn more about investing, capital budgeting and cash flows, all of which will help him get to the next level in his investments. “Whether he realizes it or not, it has helped tremendously,” Logan said. Sean says Logan is more organized and driven academically, but Logan attributes that to having his dad there to push him. While the Parkes don’t have any friendly wagers on grades, they are admittedly super competitive. This has led us to meet different people and be able to introduce the other to that person, effectively doubling our connections and deepening our relationships with people we meet.” “He helped me navigate campus, showed me shortcuts to class, the best garages to park in, what professors to take and how to study effectively for each class,” said Logan, who hopes to pursue a career in personal finance. “While our experiences have been largely the same, there are, of course, differences. This has provided Logan – who refers to his dad as his unofficial advisor – valuable insight for his college career. With Sean having started his UCF journey earlier than Logan, they didn’t get the chance to be in the same classes at the same time. Sean has been enrolled at UCF since 2020, with Logan joining in Fall 2022. “I grew up going to UCF football games, and we have been season-ticket holders multiple times. ![]() “I was born at Arnold Palmer Hospital and haven’t moved outside a 20-mile radius in my life,” Logan said. ![]() The Parkes have been around UCF their entire life, so the decision on where to go to school was a simple one. Sean and Logan attended local community colleges before arriving at UCF, but both agree that UCF has always been home. Logan, 21, is wrapping up his junior year and was recently named the Chair of the Student Ambassadors for the College of Business. On Friday, Sean, 47, graduated with his bachelor’s degree in finance after going back to school to continue his education. For the past two years, Sean Parkes and Logan Parkes have been able to do just that. Choosing to attend the same college a parent once attended is nothing new. Attending the same college at the same time is something most don’t get the opportunity to do. ![]() 10/18/2023 0 Comments Checkmate industries magazines logo![]() ![]()

I wish they used a bigger sized clams but the dish still worked for me. They do give you quite a bit of clams but they use the smaller sized clams. ![]() The presentation is unique for chinese restaurants but definitely contemporary/upscale. If it was even thicker, I would have liked it as well. Frog legs have a lot of bones to begin with but luckily, the meat just came right off the bones.

So definitely let your tea sit there for awhile before pouring, otherwise you'll just get colored hot water.Ībalone & Frog Congee - I thought this dish would be bland and tasteless but to my surprise, the dish was well seasoned. For the tea that they give you, it's made from tea bags, not tea leaves. As of now, their lines are long so they are getting good business so I don't think they will be dropping their prices anytime soon.Īs with other reviewers, this is not a dim sum place. Then again, their lines would be even longer. I don't blame them for charging more but if they could cut their prices by $2-3 for each dish, they would be in the ball park as other places and it wouldn't get such a low review rating. It is located in SkyFoods mall, hence the rent must be quite expensive. Reason for this is reflected in the location and pricing of their items. This is probably due to the fact that they are tailoring to their "higher end" clientele.

You might want to spend time laying out the UV islands in a way that makes sense for how you plan to texture it. The size of the squares should be somewhat consistent across the model though some slight inconsistency is acceptable and sometimes unavoidable. One way to check for stretching and if the texel density is consistent, is to use a checker texture, like the one shown on the hammer, and making sure the squares retain their shape.
