![]() Again, we used my realistic fiction unit and their novel study units. We used Jason Reynolds novel, Ghost for their mentor text. I have since also added a sixth grade example for everything. Take a look at this example with notes a student wrote on her rough draft. ![]() Now we’re on rough drafts too, and they’re seriously amazing. The sample rough draft below shows you an example of just how much more work a rough draft can need, even a really solid first draft. It was REALLY HARD for all of us, especially in the planning stages, but I scaffolded and modeled A LOT. Essentially, I was asking them to write another chapter of the book. Their middle school narrative essays still had to have a plot and climax that was completely developed. With this in mind, my 8th graders had to continue Ponyboy’s narrative. Even more so, instead of them just having to write from the point of view of a character, I actually wanted them to have to do some of that hard thinking that they might be missing out on by not doing a personal narrative. I still did the same thing with my 7th graders this year, and we are just about done writing our rough drafts.įor 8th grade, I had the same students, so I decided we would read The Outsiders. It was honestly perfect as I learned two new grade levels, but that meant I changed things up a lot in the following years. My first year teaching middle school ELA, I taught a lot of the same lessons to both seventh and eight grade. We also focus a lot on thinking critically about the texts we read. I use the novels to teach literary elements and they use that knowledge to write their middle school narrative essays. I used my Realistic Fiction and Literature Terms/Devices unit, along with Freak the Mighty. When we read narrative writing and create our anchor chart, we talk about using transition words like first, next, and last. ![]() I model looking at my picture and label and them using it to write a sentence. ![]() They were some of the best essay I’ve ever read. Once my students have labeled their pictures, I model how to write a first draft. Students had to write from Freak’s or from Killer Kane’s point of view. My first year, we read Freak the Mighty in both seventh and eighth grade. Plus they’re final essay and their writing are just SO FREAKING GOOD. They truly use narrative craft because they have a complete and well done mentor text to constantly reference. I found that when students have to use narrative elements to become a character from a narrative mentor text, they don’t spend days trying to figure out what to write. Plus, sometimes it’s REALLY hard for kids to write something meaningful about the first time they were stung by a bee… or whatever small moment I spend hours and days trying to help them come up with. I just feel like kids have written 8-10 personal narratives by the time they get to me, and we are all over it. ![]()

![]() ![]() Click Add WAD, and browse your newly-created WAD file. ![]() Open WorldCraft, go to Tools -> Options, and click the Textures tab. When you're done, save the WAD anywhere you like (although it will need to be in your 'Half-Life\valve' folder if you plan to use Method 1, below). Double-click a texture to edit it, and press Ctrl+T in this view to see it tiled. To add subsequent textures to the WAD you are working in, press Ctrl+E. Select 'Half-Life Package', and it will create a new WAD and put the texture into it. Pasting into Wally will let you choose the file type. Although Wally is capable of doing some basic image editing itself, you'll probably find the only useful extra feature is being able to see your texture tiled (you can do this in regular image editors, but perhaps less easily).Īll you need to do is copy 'n' paste. Putting your textures into a WAD is where Wally comes in. This just means that each image is stored in 256 colours, and those colours can be anything (as opposed to WAD2, where the palette is the same for all textures in the WAD, restricting the variety of texture colouring). WAD3 format allows each texture to have its own 8-bit palette. Quake uses WAD2, and Half-Life has a modified version of that, WAD3. ![]() of textures, and the idea dates back to Doom. So, having completed your texture, what do you do with it? Half-Life needs all its textures to be in WAD3 format. read through the next couple of sections to find out how to get it working. Remember to give it a thorough in-game testing as well to make sure it fits in with the other textures you're using.256 x 256 pixels is about as large as your texture should end up. Bear in mind that Half-Life's game engine is several years old, so it's not very good at handling large textures.Make your first selection to get rid of stuff you don't want, as I've done below:.Scan or download the photos to your computer.Level the camera carefully so that you get the wall as straight-on as possible. Find a nice wall and take a photo of it (this is quicker with a, ahem, digital camera).Wally is about the only one anybody's ever heard of, so get that ( here).Īs an example, I made my own (rather cheap) tiling wall texture out of a photo. Jasc's Paint Shop Pro will do, although you might have problems with fixing up tiling textures (see below), but your best bet is Adobe Photoshop, providing you can (and want to) afford it. You'll need a few tools as well, aside from WorldCraft. while single are used for more specific objects like vehicles, vending machines and buttons. What style must it blend in with? Is it for indoors or out? Must it tile or be single? Tiling textures are the kind that are used for structures like walls, rock-faces, terrain, glass etc. If you do plan to download all your textures, they'll probably already be in WAD format, so you can skip the next couple of stages.įirst, you need to know what type of texture you're looking for. You could, of course, find the textures you need on the web, but it's always more exciting to make your own. Brand new maps quite often need brand new textures, but how do you do that? There's a limit to what you can do with only the textures provided with Half-Life. ![]() ![]() Cook chicken for 7 minutes then flip and cook an additional 5-6 minutes.Ĭhef’s Note: To make the perfect plate, place cilantro rice on bottom and then add the chicken and top with mango salsa. Cover with lid slightly ajar with Redy-cook valve closed. If it evaporates you need to heat it a bit longer and repeat the process.Īdd your chicken, press it down in the pan.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container. Have trouble cutting mangos? Learn how to cut a mango from our tutorial. Once they reach the ripeness you desire, store them in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process. ![]() Keep not-quite-ripe mangos at room temperature they'll continue to ripen. Mangos will continue to ripen after you bring them home, so if you're not going to make this immediately, choose mangos that are the firmer side, that give just a little when you squeeze them. Ingredients Meat 6 Chicken thighs, boneless skinless Condiments 1 16-ounce jar Mango salsa Pasta & Grains 1 cup White rice, long-grain Baking & Spices 1. If it gives way under the pressure of your fingers, it's on the riper side. Mangos get softer as they ripen, so the key to choosing a mango is to squeeze it before you buy it. Meanwhile, make the salsa: Combine mango, bell. Add tilapia fillets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Make the sauce first, and then add boneless chicken pieces and simmer until just cooked through. Prepare the fish: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, basil, black pepper, and salt in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Our mango chicken curry uses fresh mangoes, full-fat coconut milk for richness, ginger, curry powder, cumin, and vinegar to offset the sweetness of the mango. In India, these dishes would have individual names, and the word curry is not used. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine the chicken, 2 tablespoons olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, cayenne, orange juice + zest, and lime juice + zest. Here, marinated chicken thighs cook in less than 10 minutes under the broiler, and are topped off with a fresh mango salsa. In English-speaking parts of the world, curries are meat or vegetable dishes that have a sauce or gravy that's seasoned with traditional Indian spices, usually served over rice. Chicken thighs are a personal favorite for several reasons: They're flavorful, tender, cheaper, and cook quicker than other cuts. The curry in this recipe's title refers to the type of dish it is, not one of its ingredients (although one of the ingredients is curry powder). ![]() ![]() ![]() It has a fancy style and unique texture that can be used for both display projects and printing projects.

As soon as you remove a suit, arrange the remaining cards into “natural builds”.This will give you a head start and make it more likely that you will be able to win the game. Get as many cards exposed and arranged as possible before dealing the next 10 cards from the stock.This is because you will eventually need to move the lower cards to the foundation piles, and it will be easier to do so if they are already on top of the higher cards. When you have a choice, build on higher cards first. This can be helpful if you are stuck and don't have any other moves available. An empty pile can be used as a temporary storage space for cards. Try to make empty piles as early as possible.So, always look for opportunities to expose hidden cards. When you uncover a hidden card, it gives you more options for making moves. Try to expose hidden cards whenever possible.There are many strategies which can help you to complete the game. Win the game by successfully arranging all cards from king to ace and move them to the foundation. Use empty tableau columns to temporarily store cards and create new sequences.Ĭlick on the stock pile to deal new cards to each tableau column, and continue making moves. Start with two shuffled decks of cards.ĭeal 54 cards onto the tableau in ten columns, with the first four columns containing 6 cards each and the remaining six columns containing 5 cards each.īegin building descending sequences of cards by moving cards onto higher-ranked cards.For example, you can move the 9 of spades from one tableau pile to another tableau pile if there is a 10 of spades already in the second pile. You can move cards from one tableau pile to another tableau pile, as long as they are in descending order. The remaining cards in the deck are placed face down below the tableau piles. The Tableau is a set of ten piles, with one card face up in each pile.You can only move cards to the foundation if they are in a sequence from king to ace. The goal of the game is to move all of the cards from the tableau to the foundation piles, in a descending order from king to ace. ![]()
![]() ![]() Stage 2 of the MU program, which focuses on electronic engagement with patients, begins this year for providers that have participated in the program for at least two years. The patient portal is also designed to help physicians that use the Quest Diagnostics Care360 Electronic Health Record (EHR) to qualify for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) EHR Incentive Program. MyQuest by Care360 Patient Portal and Care360 EHR Enable Physicians to Qualify for Meaningful Use Incentives In addition to lab results, the portal enables users to view other health information, such as provider contact lists and medication reminders, and facilitates online appointment scheduling at any of Quest’s 2,200 patient service centers in the United States. “Our MyQuest by Care360 patient portal represents the next phase of consumer healthcare – where people are empowered with information to play a greater role in their healthcare choices.” Cohen, MD, senior vice president and chief medical officer, Quest Diagnostics. Because most healthcare decisions are based on diagnostic insights, patients who access their lab results may be more likely to have a well-informed dialogue about medical options with their physician,” said Jon R. Quest has provided several channels for patients to request and receive their lab reports in select states where direct patient access had been allowed prior to the new federal rule. Quest Diagnostics is believed to be the first national commercial laboratory to facilitate direct patient access to lab information through a range of free channels which include a patient portal and mobile health app as well as traditional mail, fax and email. To help individuals receive access and track their lab and other health data, Quest Diagnostics has launched MyQuest® by Care360 at /MyQuest, a secure patient portal that enables patients to view copies of their lab test reports from Quest Diagnostics. Although laboratories may directly provide patients access to lab data beginning today under the rule, laboratory providers have until Octoto comply with the rule’s requirement to provide lab data upon request nationwide. Patients can begin to view lab results today under the rule. In combination, these changes require laboratories to provide patients access to their test reports. Department of Health and Human Services amends the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) regulations to give patients (or their representatives) direct access to the patient’s laboratory test reports and eliminates an exception under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule that prohibits an individual from accessing protected health information held by a CLIA-certified or CLIA-exempt laboratory. Under a federal rule that goes into effect, patients in all 50 states and the District of Columbia can now view test results from diagnostic information service providers without first being authorized by a physician. Quest Diagnostics provides diagnostic information services to about 30% of American adults each year. ![]() ![]() MADISON, NJ – For the first time, Americans nationwide can directly access their personal laboratory data through Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX), the world’s leading provider of diagnostic information services.

In this introductory note to operations and supply chain simulation using AnyLogic 7.2, the focus is to introduce the MBA and M.Sc. On the other hand, technical issues in development of optimization and simulation models may distract the attention and time from the real objective, i.e., management decision analysis and decision-making support with the help of simulation and optimization software. On one hand, application of optimization and simulation software implies some background in programming. While teaching management students in simulation and optimization classes, it is a challenging task to combine modelling and management decision-making views. Without relying heavily on statistics and mathematical derivations, this guideline offers applied models and a simple, predictable format to make it easy to understand for management students without engineering background. students with majors in supply chain and operations management as well as instructors giving classes in supply chain and operations simulation for such students.
