She earned 2 associate degrees, one in Glass Fine Art and one in Glass Craft and Design. That relationship went nowhere, but Burns did ultimately fall in love with the act of glassblowing. But I had a crush on someone in the class, so I stuck with it, and tried to make my crush think I was cool.” “I did that at first, and honestly despised it. “Salem’s known for scientific glassblowing – it’s very precise work,” Burns says. But before all of that, she was learning to make scientific beakers at Salem Community College in Carneys Point.

Our mentors are role models for your child, trusted leaders, and are often looked up to as magical wizards that know how to capture your child’s curiosity and engage them with their natural gifts. To read more and to view a list of our partnered charter schools, visit our Homeschool Resource page.ĮverWild mentors are trained through Wilderness Awareness School’s Coyote Mentoring. ![]() Families who are homeschooling generally enroll their children in EverWild no less than 2 days per week but up to 4 days/week while incorporating other enrichment programs into their child’s weekly schedule. Most children who attend EverWild are homeschooled through an online charter school by the time they turn 4.5, homeschooled through a Private School Affidavit, or are distance/online learning through their local school district. With the focus on what is showing up for us on the landscape, projects and activities organically coincide with place-based learning, ecological literacy, and the Next Generation Science Standards. EverWild mentors model their own curiosity and engagement with nature while providing materials and tools to take these observations and inquiries to deeper discoveries. An emergent curriculum allows for children's curiosity, interests, and engagement with nature to lead the day. The rhythm of our day presents a predictable and safe container for children to explore freely within. EverWild's forest school model places emphasis on observation, natural inquiry, environmental stewardship and engagement with place as a source of strength, wisdom, and growth. The history of learning from nature is as old as humankind, yet the pedagogical model of forest schools emerged in Europe and Scandinavia in the mid 1900’s, and eventually made it to the U.S. A nature immersion program is a method of outdoor education, in which the students engage in natural spaces to dive into social, interpersonal, and physical skills that are highly applicable in our 21st century world. ![]() This part-time program provides enriching learning opportunities for children to connect with nature, themselves, and their community. EverWild's Nature Immersion Program is developed using Forest School and Place-based learning philosophies. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Back to the future flux capacitor![]() Every person or organisation wishing to make a bid is required to register with Prop Store before participating at an Auction. ![]() Seller The person or organisation offering the Lot for sale, including their agents or personal representatives Reserve Price (Where applicable) the minimum price at which the Seller has authorised Prop Store to sell a Lot Purchase Price The Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium (plus VAT if applicable) Prop Store Prop Store Limited (company number 08622002) of Great House Farm, Chenies, Rickmansworth, WD3 6EP Lot Each item or group of items consigned by the Seller to Prop Store to be made available for sale at an Auction, as detailed in the catalogue ![]() Hammer Price The highest bid for a Lot accepted by the auctioneer at the Auction or the post-Auction sale price of that Lot Guarantee of Attribution Prop Store’s limited guarantee relating to the provenance of each Lot, given to the extent set out in Condition 10 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale When the following words are used in this Buyers’ Guide, they mean:Īuction A live sale by auction hosted by Prop Storeīidder Any person, properly registered and approved by Prop Store to participate in the Auction who makes or considers making a bid to buy a Lot at Auctionīuyer The person or organisation making the highest bid or offer for a Lot accepted by the auctioneer, including a principal bidding as agentīuyer’s Premium A commission of 23% (plus VAT if applicable) of the Hammer Price for a Lot, payable by the Buyer to Prop Store Conditions of Sale Prop Store’s terms and conditions of sale at auction, from time to time as may be amended, a copy of which appears in the Buyer’s Guide.By registering to bid and participate in a Prop Store auction, you will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by them.

With 40 percent of users under the age of 13 and another 40 percent between 13 and 18, many of those early-aughts passions were what you might expect: The Lord of the Rings and Britney Spears were common themes one guild called “In the middle (school that is)!!!!!” described itself thusly, “Need a help line? One for homework, school, dating, sports, and other stuff as well (even parents)? Well then, this is the guild for you!” Some players swapped tips about the site’s beloved Flash games and how to make personal pages colorful and expressive. But with its emphasis on forums, direct messages, and friend lists, Neopets was an inherently chatty, communal place-in other words, a social network, and a massive one at that.īy 2000, Neopets was dotted with guilds-small, private groups that users could join to chat about shared interests. In the site’s early years, The Guardian dubbed it “ an online hybrid of Pokémon and Tamagotchi,” which made sense: Like its fellow ’90s sensations with similarly youthful fan bases, its central conceit was that a player would adopt and care for digital pets. Neopets, the then-fledgling digital pet website, had rapidly become a hit following its 1999 launch: Just two years later, the site was celebrating 14 million accounts by 2005, that number had climbed to 92 million.

Or, for that matter, any character voiced by Tohno Soyogi in any game. Together, they do a good job in fleshing out the worst part of the original and in expanding even more its setting. Mare’s After Story gives sorely lacking substance to her route (even if that substance is little more than some icha-icha), and also gives a plotline to Ima, who had barely any screentime (if you can even call it that) in the original. It also does an impressive job in making the heroine more likeable after it, my impression of her original route… maybe didn’t got better, but at least I did got to dislike her less. The first one is told in form of flashbacks and covers quite a bit of time, making it similar in some ways to Clannad’s After Story. ![]() The meat of this fandisc that may be actually more of an actual sequel (if short) are the After Stories, one for mysterious girl and one for Mare. Even with that (big) remark, if you like the genre it’s worth playing this. But even if you do mind her, the rest of the game is an above average chara-ge, with good characters and routes, and a developed setting. If you don’t mind the final heroine you’ll probably find her route really touching. However, that doesn’t diminishes the previous routes. There’s also quite a bit of low angles / convenient breezes Voice acting is also good, and a couple of tracks (especially this) that play in special moments make the BGM truly memorable. The graphics are good, and I really like the color palette and there’s a function to zoom into the CGs which is neat. In technical aspects the game doesn’t fall behind. Though from a different perspective it can also be said that Mare shares this final route with its heroine. This route also branches into Mare’s end, but it’s so short and lacking in substance that it’s more of an omake that anything else, and can hardly be called an actual Mare’s route. There’s also a twist in the end that doesn’t make any sense, but at that point I cared so little about the heroine and the route that it didn’t really bothered me. The route itself also has some problems, mainly that for a long bit it goes in circles instead of advancing somewhere, anywhere. Almost all but ignores the protagonist feelings and chastises him for things she herself is guilty of, and that attitude is not only not criticized but even taken as the right and mature thing to do. The main problem here is the heroine, whom I ended up just a bit short of fully loathing. Which tries to be the high point of the game, but sadly doesn’t live up to that. And both settings converge in the final route. 1/29/2024 0 Comments Simple batch file rename script![]() We refer to this BabyShark component as ReconShark. Based on overlaps in file naming conventions, used malware staging techniques, and code format, we assess that the macros implement a newer variant of a reconnaissance capability of the Kimsuky’s BabyShark malware seen targeting entities in the Korean peninsula towards the end of 2022. The lure documents Kimsuky distributes contain Microsoft Office macros that activate on document close. doc file named “Research Proposal-Haowen Song.doc” (SHA1: 86a025e282495584eabece67e4e2a43dca28e505) which contains a malicious macro (SHA1: c8f54cb73c240a1904030eb36bb2baa7db6aeb01) Malicious Document, themed to DPRK / China ReconShark: A New BabyShark Reconnaissance Variant The file downloaded is a password protected. For example, as used against KRG, the lure email contained the OneDrive shared file link: 1drvms/u/s!AvPucizxIXoqedcUKN647svN3QM?e=K6N1gT Most recently, they made use of Microsoft OneDrive to host the malicious document for download. In the malicious emails, Kimsuky entices the target to open a link to download a password-protected document. Notably, the targeted emails, which contain links to download malicious documents, and the malicious documents themselves, abuse the names of real individuals whose expertise is relevant to the lure subject such as Political Scientists. This includes proper formatting, grammar, and visual clues, appearing legitimate to unsuspecting users. Notably, the spear-phishing emails are made with a level of design quality tuned for specific individuals, increasing the likelihood of opening by the target. Initial Access Targetingįor the deployment of ReconShark, Kimsuky continues to make use of specially crafted phishing emails. Our assessment is that the same campaign has been used to continue targeting other organizations and individuals in at least the United States, Europe, and Asia, including think tanks, research universities, and government entities. We applaud KRG’s willingness to publicly share our analysis of attacks against them so the wider cybersecurity community can use this intelligence for expanded understanding of the Kimsuky threat actor and their own hunting and detection efforts. In a recent campaign Kimsuky targeted the staff of Korea Risk Group (KRG), the information and analysis firm specializing in matters directly and indirectly impacting the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). ![]() For example, the latest Kimsuky campaigns have focused on nuclear agendas between China and North Korea, relevant to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. In the groups latest campaigns, they continue their global targeting themed around various ongoing geopolitical topics. ![]() Historically, Kimsuky targets have been located across countries in North America, Asia, and Europe. In 2018 the group was observed deploying a malware family dubbed BabyShark, and our latest observations indicate the group has evolved the malware with an expanded reconnaissance capability – we refer to this BabyShark component as ReconShark. Current understanding of the group indicates they are primarily assigned to intelligence collection and espionage operations in support of the North Korean government since at least 2012. Kimsuky is a North Korean advanced persistent threat (APT) group with a long history of targeted attacks across the world. Recent activity has been linked to a wider set of activity we confidently attribute to North Korea. ReconShark functions as a reconnaissance tool with unique execution instructions and server communication methods.Ongoing campaigns use a new malware component we call ReconShark, which is actively delivered to specifically targeted individuals through spear-phishing emails, OneDrive links leading to document downloads, and the execution of malicious macros.SentinelLabs has observed ongoing attacks from Kimsuky, a North Korean state-sponsored APT that has a long history of targeting organizations across Asia, North America, and Europe.By Tom Hegel and Aleksandar Milenkoski Executive Summary 1/29/2024 0 Comments Pixel 3 just cause 4 backgrounds![]() You also get an IP68 water and dust resistant rating that have been available in other Android flagship phones for years and a 40 percent improvement in volume output from dual stereo speakers, something that makes coherent communication with Google Assistant in Pixel Stand a viable option. The boosted profile saturates colors a bit - particularly on the warmer end of the spectrum - but it doesn’t achieve the vibrancy of phones like the Galaxy Note 9.Īs was pointed out in a specs breakdown by VentureBeat last week, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have many similar specs to their predecessors, but they’re a bit more expensive, a bit heavier, and see a screen size increase of 5 to 5.5 from Pixel 2 to Pixel 3 and 6.0 to 6.3 from Pixel 2 XL to Pixel 3 XL. Compared to LG V40 and the Sony Xperia XZ3, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are much more neutral (and even muted) and in appearance on the default profile. Our in-depth Display Shoot-Out review article will go live here on Monday October 15. The firm awarded the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL its Best Smartphone Display Award in part for “color accuracy that is virtually indistinguishable from perfect.” Impressive viewing angles and an array of calibration options - including three color profiles (Natural, Boosted, and Adaptive) and adaptive brightness, which taps AI to automatically adjust to environments and activities - are icing on top of an already delicious cake.ĭisplayMate has Lab Tested the Google Pixel 3 XL OLED Display which has earned our Highest A+ Rating and a DisplayMate Best Smartphone Display Award. Notch or no, the screen’s dynamic range is industry-leading it’s among the best I’ve seen, and analysts at DisplayMate agree. Some reviewers have found it to be distracting. Notches are a veritable industry trend - Apple, LG, and Huawei are just a small sampling of the manufacturers that have adopted - but the Pixel 3 XL’s is a tad larger than the rest. The Pixel 3 has a lower resolution than its big brother (2,160 x 1,080 versus 2,960 x 1,440 440 pixels per inch versus 522) and lacks its notch - i.e., a carved-out top-middle portion. It’s 5.5 inches and 6.3 inches on the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, respectively, with the Pixel 3’s coming in at 5.73 x 2.69 x 0.31 inches and the larger Pixel 3 XL’s measuring 6.2 x 3 x 0.31 inches. ![]() ![]() (Worth noting is that the Pixel 3 XL’s top speaker, between the front cameras, is slightly smaller than the bottom speaker, resulting in a slight imbalance between the two.)īy far the highlight, though, is the display - for better or worse. They’re joined by an earpiece that doubles as a loudspeaker in conjunction with a second front-firing speaker, it produces stereo sound that’s 40 percent louder than the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL’s two-speaker system. The front of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL bears two cameras instead of the traditional one - both 8MP models, but with different apertures (f/1.8 and f/2.2) and lenses (standard and wide-angle). It’s paired with a flash and positioned above and to the left of the Pixel Imprint fingerprint sensor, which Google says becomes more accurate over time as it reads your finger. Google stuck with a single rear camera this go around, opting for a 12.2-megapixel sensor with 1.4μm pixels, an f/1.8 aperture, autofocus with dual phase detection, a spectral sensor (to aid in color accuracy) and flicker sensor (to reduce banding in low light), and optical image stabilization. The Pixel 3 XL is just wide enough to grasp firmly in-palm, with a few fingers wrapped around the far edge for peace of mind. It’s not quite seamless - there’s noticeable separation between the frame and glass - but it’s impressively ergonomic. Said frame continues the curve, which the protective glass atop the screen completes. The glass - Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 - extends to all four corners and edges of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL’s rears, encircling the matte portion and curving slightly toward the aluminum frame. ![]() And in the Pixel 3 XL’s case, it contributes to a slightly heavier profile (the Pixel 3 XL weighs in at 6.49 ounces versus the Pixel 2 XL’s 6.17 ounces). It feels a bit like ceramic, and testing saw it resist fingerprints and pocket lint in equal parts - a welcome change from the glossy finishes on flagships like the LG V40 and Vivo Nex S. It’s a bit deceptive the bottom portion of the rear cover has a matte coating, giving them the two-tone aesthetic characteristic of their predecessors. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are the first in Google’s Pixel series to ditch aluminum for glass, which enables support for wireless charging - also a first. 1/29/2024 0 Comments Cashflow game review![]() Is cashflow game any good?Ĭashflow is a great game to teach financial and entrepreneurial literacy. It is a great way to gain a deeper understanding of how finances work and how to create a secure financial future. The Cash Flow game provides an entertaining and informative way to learn about managing money and to understand the basics of investing and making wise financial decisions. At this point, the player with the highest net worth (the difference between their assets and debts) is the winner. The game typically ends when 4 rounds of turns have been taken, or when a certain level of financial freedom has been achieved. If a player lands on a special event square they will have to draw a card from the Life Events Deck, which could present opportunities or challenges and cause players to gain or lose money. They can also pay expenses, such as mortgage payments, and take on new investments. They can purchase assets or invest their money which will bring in more income. Players then take their turn by making decisions about how to use the money they have. ) they will receive and the amount of money they start with. They then draw a card from the Money Deck, which will determine the kind of income (salary, income from investments, etc. ![]() To begin playing the game, players determine which “player age” (or life stage) they want to start with on the board and set their starting funds according to the player age. Players use a variety of investment strategies to increase their financial portfolios. Each square represents a different stage in life and can be completed by following the instructions provided in the game. The gameboard consists of a ten-by-ten grid, with spaces corresponding to different life events- such as getting a job, getting married, buying a house, having a child, etc. The goal of the game is to encourage players to learn about investing and managing their financial portfolios.
