I ching meaning of the hexagrams3/10/2024 ![]() The act of creation having found expression in the two attributes sublimity and success, the work of conservation is shown to be a continuous actualization and differentiation of form. Time is no longer a hindrance but the means of making actual what is potential. Thus each step attained forthwith becomes a preparation for the next. Here it is shown that the way to success lies in apprehending and giving actuality to the way of the universe, which, as a law running through end and beginning, brings about all phenomena in time. " The six steps are the six different positions given in the hexagram, which are represented later by the dragon symbol. "Īpplied to the human world, these attributes show the great man the way to notable success: "Because he sees with great clarity and cause and effects, he completes the six steps at the right time and mounts toward heaven on them at the right time, as though on sic dragons. This is indicated in the word success, and the process is represented by an image from nature: "The clouds pass and the rain does its work, and all individual beings flow into their forms. But the Creative furthermore has power to lend form to these archetypes of ideas. The beginning of all things lies still in the beyond in the form of ideas that have yet to become real. " For this attribute inheres in the other three as well. " This is why Confucius says in explaining it: "Great indeed is the generating power of the Creative all beings owe their beginning to it. The Chinese word here rendered by "sublime" means literally "head," "origin," "great. The specific meanings of the four attributes became the subject of speculation at an early date. When an individual draws this oracle, it means that success will come to him from the primal depths of the universe and that everything depends upon his seeking his happiness and that of others in one way only, that is, by perseverance in what is right. In relation to the human world, it denotes the creative action of the holy man or sage, of the ruler or leader of men, who through his power awakens and develops their higher nature.Īccording to the original meaning, the attributes are paired. In relation to the universe, the hexagram expresses the strong, creative action of the Deity. The power represented by the hexagram is to be interpreted in a dual sense in terms of its action on the universe and of its action on the world of men. Thus the hexagram includes also the power of time and the power of persisting in time, that is, duration. Time is regarded as the basis of this motion. Its energy is represented as unrestricted by any fixed conditions in space and is therefore conceived of as motion. The hexagram is consistently strong in character, and since it is without weakness, its essence is power or energy. ![]() These unbroken lines stand for the primal power, which is light-giving, active, strong, and of the spirit. The first hexagram is made up of six unbroken lines.

Infant daily schedule child care stages3/10/2024 ![]() Routines such as feeding and eating, diapering and toileting, and sleeping or resting provide multiple opportunities to support physical growth and development. As you watch children and observe what they do and say, you are able to learn more about their strengths and needs which provides you with information for developing responsive routines. Ongoing observation is an important part of your role as a caregiver and it is an essential piece to the daily care and experiences you offer in your classroom. Learning from families and through observations remain as two important strategies that you will continue to use when supporting the physical development of infants and toddlers during daily routines. You also learned about key caregiving strategies that help you create responsive routines. This lesson will focus specifically on supporting physical development during particular daily routines. ![]() In the Learning Environments course, you learned the importance of daily routines and ways of supporting infant and toddler development throughout routines. Supporting Physical Development During Daily Routines These experiences provide opportunities to grow and develop. ![]() By participating in everyday routines, a child is better able to learn about the world around them and begin to understand what is important within their environment, and how it effects them. These consistent routines should offer emotional security, which in turn helps children feel safe to explore and learn. The best thing is that I am able to concentrate on my work during the day because I know that my daughter is being cared for so well and I know she is happy and having fun.High-quality supportive early-learning environments include responsive routines that support infant and toddler physical development. The center itself is always clean and well maintained. The director is organized and approachable and sets the positive tone that the entire place has. My daughter runs to give several of them hugs in the mornings when she gets there and hugs in the afternoon when we are leaving. The staff is amazing - they are able to be educational while still being supportive and caring. It is a place that my daughter absolutely loves to go to every day.

The purble place game3/9/2024 All rights reserved.There is a joyous, spirited appeal to the realm of colorful, brain-building video games that challenge and amuse simultaneously. Thank you, Jason York!Ĭopyright 2007-8 © Tech Paul. Odds are good you can use it (and be glad you did). See what this wonder does (and doesn’t) do. PC Decrapifier is a blessing to everyone who has recently bought a new PC, (or still has all that “Try AOL Dial-up free!” and “Gateway Games” crud still on-board) and is one of the best freeware tools/ideas to come down the pike. ![]() You might find yourself with a new “addiction” (like me and Spider Solitaire). and definitely don’t try any of the new games there. Well, in conclusion, if you have a new PC and it came with Vista, stay away from the Games folder. ![]() You might be surprised at how much simple diversion this new game provides (or, you might hate it. For adults, try setting the Options to “difficult” and select the “Advanced” difficulty at the beginning of a game, and then try playing this “child’s game”. In the screenshot below, I am in a cake factory “building” a cake (I am adding the icing in the shot) and I have to match the “order” by choosing the right ‘component’. There are actually 3 games inside Purble Place. I believe that it teaches problem-solving skills as well. It has a lot of matching, and it uses simple mechanics. This colorful and cartoonish-looking game is clearly aimed at children, but I am not (too) ashamed to admit that an old dinosaur like me enjoys its simple distraction from time to time. And a big improvement over the stock games we’ve been used to since Windows 95.Īnd then there’s something totally different (for Microsoft)– Purble Place. You have to be quick, and have an eye for angles. But instead of using a “cue” to direct your “shots”, you are given a pen, with which you draw lines on the “table” which act as “bumpers” and deflect the ball’s path. The object is to get the moving balls to drop into the appropriate holes. This animated game is a bit like bumper billiards. Tile matching is not as easy as it sounds.Īlso new, and worth taking a look at, is a weird game called InkBall. Several members of my family are Mah Jong mavens (and seem to win every time). Sometimes I play Mah Jong (which now comes Standard), but only when I want to be frustrated and unhappy… I have the durndest time defeating that thing. From what I understand, chess is rather popular right now. I am particularly pleased with the inclusion of a chess game (I have been playing chess since I was knee-high to a grasshopper and, no, I’m not very good). Microsoft has added some new games in Vista, which I for one welcome. It takes a little brain work and calculation to win. and it takes your mind off of your troubles, and fast. Next thing I knew, it was 1:40 a.m.! Yikes.Īddicting. Well, being all grown up and conservative and everything, I decided I better play it, and make sure I didn’t like it, before I took the step of deleting it forever. As odd as this may sound, (and I have been running Windows since Win 95) I have never, ever, not once, played Spider Solitaire. Spider Solitaire was going to be the first to go. I also thought about removing the Windows games that I never play, (I was killing time: business was slow.) such as Minesweeper. I don’t usually do that until the Norton trial expires.) ![]() from Wild Tangent (I have not yet run the excellent tool, PC Decrapifier, on this particular machine. you know the ones trial versions of Penguins, TradeWinds, etc. While I had my Games folder open, I decided to also open Add/Remove Programs and get rid of the crapware games the manufacturer provided as a “value bonus”. (release the right-click/drag, and select “Create shortcut here”.) The story goes like this: kinda late last night, I went into my new Vista machine’s Games folder so that I could right-click-and-drag some icons to my Desktop and create shortcuts for Solitaire and Chess Titans, my two favorite built-in time-wasters. I am absolutely wiped out this morning, and the reason for that, well.

![]() They hit head on, but in the split second before they do, they slow to a few miles per hour. Two cars are traveling toward each other at 100 miles per hour in some twisted version of a demolition derby. It’s not written in a way that is even close to enough. But when she finally delivers the blows that level him, it’s not satisfying enough. It’s even revealed long before he introduces Ainsley to the reader. The narrator makes no secret of this throughout most of the book. To make a long-winded story short, Ainsley does to him what he did to women in London. His paranoia continues to grow when he visits New York City on business and meets the beautiful Ainsley. Among other crazy things, he believes his employer is out to get him. Instead, his narcissism continues to shine through, along with a large dose of paranoia. At this point in the story is when the narrator might have had a ‘come to Jesus’ moment or redeemed himself in some other way. While in Minnesota, he’s sober and woman-free. When his narcissism fuels a career move, he relocates from London to Minnesota, USA. He seemingly gets off on his ‘power’ to get women to fall hard for him, knowing he will subsequently break their hearts and scar them. Not physically, as he explains, but emotionally. It’s simply the story of an alcoholic, sadistic narcissist who admittedly enjoys hurting women. Reading more like a fiction novel, the book is nothing spectacular in its writing or content. “Diary of an Oxygen Thief” was first self-published in 2006 as a purported autobiography by an unknown author.

Resolution breakpoints are set up to target ranges that define specific types of displays. Responsive web design targets the width of each user’s web browser to determine how much space is available and how it should display the website. Responsive design principles, including fluid layouts, benefit users with disabilities on desktops as well as on mobile devices.Įffective RWD uses responsive (multiple fluid grid layouts) rather than adaptive (multiple fixed width layouts) design. One size fits all sites do not fit the needs of users with disabilities. Because reflow is a user-blocking operation in the browser, it is useful for developers to understand how to improve reflow time and also to understand the effects of various document properties (DOM depth, CSS rule efficiency, different types of style changes) on reflow time. To view the effect use the zoom feature, or change the window width of your browser. Similarly, tables and non-fluid pages used to lay out content cause reading order issues for users of screen readers. Using media queries and grid CSS to reflow columns The objective of this technique is to be able to present content without introducing horizontal scroll bars by using layout techniques that adapt to the available horizontal space. Additionally, fixed, non-fluid sizes cause overlapping or cutoff text when a web page’s text is resized. Since the creation of the web, users with low vision have sought ways to resize text without adding horizontal scrolling to the page. Instead of building multiple sites for multiple device types, RWD allows designers to create one site that responds to each type of device that accesses it and delivers the appropriate output. ![]() RWD allows for easy reading and navigation on a variety of different-sized devices - from oversized desktop monitors to mobile phone screens – with a minimal amount of resizing and scrolling. The first image in the list will be placed in the design in Reflow, and the other will be generated and will hang out in the assets folder. Following our Responsive images and preventing page reflow article, we’ll now work on implementing this responsive images fix in WordPress. Responsive web design (RWD) is a web design approach aimed at delivering flexible web page layouts to provide optimal viewing across a wide range of devices. If you name a layer something like image.png, 200 image2x.png, then two images will be generated.
