Many purple perennials attract certain types of butterflies, bees, and other insects as well as wildlife.Įven household plants can grow fond of your purple flowers, such as cats that have been known to take a particular interest in Lavender plants.

It’s not for, say, setting up a route to your Mom’s house to pick her up, and then carrying on to your grandparents without starting a brand new route. Apple Maps does allow you to add pit stops mid-route, but that’s only really to let you get gas, or have something to eat. However, Google Maps has the added advantage of letting you add multiple stops to your route ahead of time. Regardless of which one you have, you can be sure that the optimal route will get you to your destination in roughly the same amount of time. It’s a bit strange that both apps offer primary routes that are similar, but the alternates were so wildly different. Instead the only alternate routes on offer were so wildly different that all three routes diverged almost as soon as I left home. Likewise Google didn’t have any suggestions that involved leaving the freeway one exit later. Apple Maps skipped the toll road, even when I’d set it to allow tolls, and wouldn’t give me the option of taking it. Neither app gave me much option to alter the routes. Going by train is a little different: Google Maps thought I’d get there in 58 minutes, versus 57 minutes on Apple. It doesn’t matter how you intend to travel either, since Apple Maps and Google Maps can generate directions for drivers, walkers, cyclists, and those travelling by public transport.Īs far as navigation goes, the differences between Google Maps and Apple Maps can be almost identical, or they can be as different as any route between two points can get.įor instance, driving from my house to our London office generated identical 51 mile routes and an ETA of 1 hour and 13 minutes. Both apps will also suggest alternate routes if the one you’re on is particularly congested, though neither of them are as aggressive as the Google-owned Waze. But as soon as you have a turn coming up it’ll change and let you know.īoth services are capable of telling you what current conditions are like on your route, including traffic, road closures, and so on. So if you need to stay on the freeway for another ten miles, that’s what it’ll say. Both services follow your progress as you travel, including travel time and journey distance, your current ETA, and the most relevant instruction at that point in time. ![]() There’s very little difference in how Apple Maps and Google Maps actually gets you places. Google Maps’ excess information can be distracting sometimes, and that’s the last thing you need if you’re lost and struggling to orient yourself. It also has information for complex highway interchanges, something Google Maps has included for some time.īoth apps have the information you need, but Apple Maps’ less-is-more approach makes it much easier on the eyes. As of iOS 15 Apple has also started adding this information, with turn lanes, bus and taxi lanes, and crosswalks. Google Maps had also started rolling out more superfluous, but still useful details, like stop signs, crosswalks, and so on. Likewise both of them use a dark mode that makes it easier on your eyes during any late-night driving you need to be doing. The only real difference is how much surplus information is on display, including businesses, smaller road names, and so on. Roads, locations, landmarks, it’s all there. That said, both of them always show the essentials no matter how you’re viewing the map. ![]() Similarly, Google shows you more information when you zoom further in, but it does start showing a lot of that information much sooner than Apple Maps does. While it has a lot of information at its disposal, Apple Maps doesn’t actually show you very much unless you zoom all the way in. Like its interface, Apple Maps has opted for a more minimalist approach to its map design. All of these things will vanish if you tap the middle of the screen, so you can see a pure uncluttered map, but it’s still all a bit much. Likewise at the bottom of the screen is a menu giving you access to the Explore and Commute features, saved locations, local news, and the option to contribute to Google’s mapping database. If you’re ever needing to find a restaurant or gas station fast, that’s likely to be very useful. At the top of your phone screen is the search bar, which also houses account information and sits above dedicated buttons for finding local amenities. Google on the other hand, has buttons and toolbars all over the place. Left: Google Maps Right: Apple Maps (Image credit: Tom's Guide)Ĭrucially, that search bar stays where it is until you click on a place, and if you want to get rid of it all you have to do is tap the X button in the corner. 1/30/2024 0 Comments The apple garden story book![]() ![]() I think that this book could be used in schools, possibly preschool-1st grade, in order to explain history or just for a fun tale. This story seems to be geared for very young children due to its simple appearance and large amount of illustration. I think that the author did a great job creating the story through both text and illustration. I think that this could help further understanding for some younger readers because it gives an image to go along with everything! Also, I thought that the type of illustrations used were very fitting for the story because of their simplicity. Some of the pages had multiple short passages that were each accompanied by an image. I especially enjoyed the setup of this picture book. ![]() These elements include about what Johnny spent his days doing as a child. I enjoyed how the character, Johnny, was based on a real person but had elements of fiction. I think that this story was a great example of historical fiction. Due to his involvement with apples, he was nicknames “Johnny Appleseed”! He encouraged these families to use the seeds from the apples in order to grow their own trees when they settles. On his journey he planted seeds and sold the apples to other families moving west. Johnny decided to move out west with barely anything besides a pot on his head that he wore as a hat. He learned everything about growing apples and taking care of trees. Johnny eventually goes to work in the apple orchard like his great-great-grandfather. ![]() The story tells about how Johnny spent his days as a child, and progresses to his adulthood. Johnny was born with the last name Chapman. This story tells about Johnny Appleseed and his family. This is an easy book to read and could help ELLs vocabulary grow and expand. Lastly, this would be a great book to use with ESL students to help teach them some of the American history. I would also use the book to bring up the discussion of fruit and to see if my students know the story of apples here in America. This would be a great opening book for this lesson. The simple words in the book make it easy to read and educational at the same time.Ĭonsideration of Instructional Application: One way I would use this book in my classroom is to teach a unit on the environment and famous people who helped conserve our environment. This is very helpful for young students can keep them engaged in the text. I also took notice of the repetition in this book of the little poem starting with “and the sun shone on….”. This is a great book to use in the classroom and was very easy to read.Įvaluation of Literary Elements: This young child biography has beautiful illustrations and I noted on each page how the illustrated almost highlighted and made the apples pop on each page. Response to Two Professional Reviews: These two reviews above pretty much nailed what I would have to say about this book! This book can teach young students a lot about the environment, sharing, and the themes noted above. Showing small acts of generosity and the love of nature can make a big difference, this book is sure to inspire the budding little Johnny Appleseed in every reader. This beautifully illustrated retelling shows how Johnny Appleseed bloomed from a young boy who loved the outdoors into the legendary man who spread apple trees all across the United States. Professional Recommendation/Review #2: Alibris Online This book is good for ecology and environmental lessons, sharing lessons, and for the quiet child who prefers to do things in his or her own manner rather than as part of the group. The muted colors and whimsical nature of the images, while still approximating life-like, brings a sense of peace and contentment, just as Johnny Appleseed found for himself and others. While the words are appropriate for an easy reader, the sentences are long and often compound, which detracts from the reading level, leading the book to be classified as a picture book. Telling not only of Johnny Appleseed but also being grateful for and happy with what you have, this book educates as it entertains. Unlike other narratives, this one begins with Johnny Appleseed’s birth and family, packing much information about the man himself rather than his apple trees into easy-to-read language. This colorfully illustrated book uses simple language to tell about Johnny Appleseed Chapman. Professional Recommendation/Review #1: Sara Rofofsky Marcus (Children's Literature) Johnny Appleseed loved his apples and is a very famous man who left behind tons of apple trees all across America. Opening line/sentence: This is a true story about Johnny Appleseed.īrief Book Summary: This is a short story picture book about Johnny Appleseed and his love for planting apple seeds, tending for the trees, watching the trees grow and eating his lovely apples. Theme(s): Kindness, apples, nature, adventure, independence, sharing, talents 1/30/2024 0 Comments Toast titanium tivoIt works well and provides quick and powerful image enhancements. This is a photo editing application that uses non-destructive editing tools, similar to Photoshop’s layers, but each edit tool sets a new layer so you never affect the pixels being altered. Significantly, with the Pro version you also get a set of other powerful applications including LightZone, my favourite among the apps. Just like the rest of Toast, the Roxio Streamer feature is very simple to set and use but beware, a stable Wi-Fi connection is essential for larger files as it can take long time for large video file streams for example.Īs usual, there’s a lot of additional bundled software in addition to the Streamer software includes automatic back up software Get backup RE, CD Spin Doctor (for digitising LP vinyl records), DiscCatalogMaker RE, TiVo Transfer and Disc Cover 2 RE for creating and printing labels onto compatible CDs and DVDs, plus you also get Toast Video Player too. The Roxio Streamer feature that can stream video from your Mac over a Wi-Fi network to another suitably connected Mac or, say, an iPhone. Other cool kit includes video conversion for an Apple TV, iPhone and batch conversion of TiVo and EyeTV recordings is in there too. In use, the large Toast content area and add or remove buttons (for content from) are straightforward enough while Toast’s signature big red button sits ready at the bottom of the content area once the project's ready to burn.Īn easy to understand visual confirmation runs across the bottom of Toast’s window that indicates the amount of space left on a particular type of disc inserted to burn and you can assess the space needs by clicking on the media type button adjacent to the large red button to see if there might be enough space on a CD rather than a DVD for the project you’re working on. As before in Toast 9, during data burning, the data can be split (or spanned) across multiple discs without breaking it up while the excellent, automatic tagging of unknown audio files, using their audio "fingerprint" remains as well. You must ensure any clip has stopped streaming before adding it to a project, but this works really well and is as simple to use as the rest of Toast 10’s interface.įeatures such as pause and restart a burning job remain for, say, freeing up processor power during a long burn project and disc burning support for streaming video to your iPhone or iPod is included. With a web browser launched and web clip playing or streaming, it appears in the Media Browser window. Photos, audio, movies can all be browsed here ready to drag into the content area depending on the work you want to do while additions to the media browser include a neat Web Video mode that allows you to add web videos for DVD burning or conversion to iTunes, iPhone or iPod formats for example. ![]() ![]() Like Toast 9, there’s a plug-in for supporting Blu-ray disc burning but on the down side, the version 10 has had both DivX and HD-DVD removed from options when burning video.Īnother neat touch is the improved Media Browser, activated by a small icon at the top right of the Toast workspace. Improvements to the key application include better AVCHD format support allowing direct back up of content from high-definition cameras to Blu-ray, archive or DVD. Each provides a set of new tools down the left side of the workspace for you to select from according to your needs. You get single workspace window with tabs for Data, Audio, Video, Disc Copying and finally Convert. The Toast 10 Titanium Pro part of the equation is pretty much business as usual from Toast 9 offering a deceptively simple work space to burn just about any type of disc, or stream video to, say an iPod or an iPhone. The latest incarnation of Toast brings the renowned Mac burning software as a dual set of software that provides for a "Pro" version that adds even more tools for your digital media creation, production and burning needs. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Movie the reader![]() THE READER is a story about truth and reconciliation, about how one generation comes to terms with the crimes of another.

At any time between matches, you can get up and navigate a small cabin, exploring and unlocking its hidden secrets. This horrific, macabre theatre is here not just for the shock value – some of its elements are essential for progress. I also forgot to mention that you weigh the scales with teeth, a resource you also use to purchase animal pelts that you can exchange for cards with the specialized vendor. Like a knife with which you remove your eye and set the scales in your favor. During the fight, you can play dirty to some extent, activating limited supply items like an emergency squirrel bottle, scissors that cut one of your opponent’s cards, or something else. With each friendly death, you’ll receive one bone for the pile, which, unlike blood, persists through turns. Blood cards require 1-4 blood to deploy, which you get by sacrificing other cards, mostly squirrels, drawn from a separate deck that contains only them. Instead of mana, you use blood or bones to play cards, with cost depending on the power of each card. That damage is represented by scales that can shift to either direction, so the upsets and returns from the brink are the rule rather than the exception. You both take turns, hoping to clear the opposing row, enabling you to damage the other side. The cards represent various real and fictional (mostly) woodland animals, differing in power and health, with unique ability or status on the top of base stats. There is one more layer above those, allowing you to see which cards your foe will play next. It is played on a 4×2 table – the bottom row is reserved for your cards, upper for your opponent’s. Inscryption vaguely resembles Hearthstone, but the tug-of-war mechanics of persistent ups and downs make the game more dynamic. Win and, well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Lose the game and die Inscryption is a classic rogue-lite, which means you’ll start from scratch, but persistent unlocks will still be there. Inscryption puts you in the unfortunate shoes of a „volunteer“ that challenges the mysterious, murderous freak to the card game in his woodland cabin. Anyhow, you, the player, are presented with the fourth-wall-breaking setup of (virtually) playing the weird retro game from the 3,5“ floppy disk you had found by “chance”. It is also difficult to untangle the narrative and not sound like I’m describing some cheap trill fantasy. Forgive the riddlespeak, but I’m struggling to avoid the spoilers. |
