My hypothesis was confirmed when the beetle let out a loud click and landed right into my hair. I showed the group the beetle, thinking it could be one of a few things. They were in for a treat as the number of different invert species was off the charts! There was azure damselflies, green lacewings, orange tip butterflies, hoverflies, and my favourite out of them all – a click beetle! Finding the click beetle was truly hilarious, if you are a sad old bug walker like me. Groups were whizzed in and out as they surveyed different parts of nature throughout the reserve. The day after was the school nature day in Robroyston. This was located next to one of my favourite places – the time capsule in Coatbridge! I was slightly disappointed to learn from them that the big dinosaurs had been removed but we found something to make up for it – a huge beetle grub! A few classes came out on the day but they were all very well behaved and they learned about the lovely park area that is only 100 meters away from their school and the importance of the buttercups in the area for the pollinators that visit it. The next stop was St Augustines primary school. Shouting aside, this proved valuable information for the pupils who have their own solitary bee nests in their school garden which they now know more about as a result of finding the solitary bee aggregation. ![]() The kids got a bit weirded out by this at first, but after explaining about the solitary bee life cycle and their awesome wee furry bodies, the pupils got it and we all ran around screaming with delight. I was so chuffed and couldn’t stop screaming with delight. We went sweeping netting in the local area and the pupils managed to catch a green veined white butterfly! The sun was shining and all the pupils noticed how in the heat butterflies where able to fly. My first bug walk took place at Woodlands primary, Cumbernauld. And you dear reader are so lucky because I am about to amaze you with tales of daring do and sweep netting. It feels like my feet haven’t touched the ground as I interpret wee beasties for all and sundry. ![]() Pdf printable blank resume form8/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Remember resume templates often have a professionally accepted resume format and using them is more likely to get you to the interview door. ![]() Classic to edgy or modern we have a resume template for you.

Another has a secret door identical to one on a corner closet-it could be opened from within the room, but not from without, and the closet drawer didn’t open at all.ĭetails are designed to confuse. One room has a normal-sized door next to a small, child-sized one. A linen closet as big as an apartment sits next to a cupboard less than an inch deep. ![]() Cabinets and doors open onto walls, rooms are boxes within boxes, small rooms are built within big rooms, balconies and windows are inside rather than out, chimneys stop floors short of the ceiling, floors have skylights. A staircase, one of 40, goes nowhere and ends at a ceiling. At first glance I was deflated, for the unusual reason that from the outside, the house wasn’t entirely weird.īut the drama of this house, like the drama of Winchester’s life, was unfolding on the inside. I must have been hoping that the house would yield up its secret to me. I keenly anticipated my first visit to the Mystery House. Eventually, Winchester became the muse for my book on the history of the American gun industry and culture.Ī postcard showing the Winchester Mystery House circa 1900-05Ĭourtesy Flickr/ San Jose Public Library California Room When I heard her ghost story from a friend in graduate school, I was enthralled. Haunted by conscience over her gun blood fortune and seeking either protection or absolution, Winchester lived in almost complete solitude, in a mansion designed to be haunted. A relative said many decades later Winchester fell “under the thrall” of a medium, who told her that she would be haunted by the ghosts of Winchester rifle victims unless she built, non-stop-perhaps at ghosts’ direction, for their pleasure, or perhaps as a way to elude them. A spiritualist in the mid-1800s, when plenty of sane Americans believed they could communicate with the dead, Wincehster became terrified that her misfortunes, especially the death of her husband and one-month old daughter, were cosmic retribution from all the spirits killed by Winchester rifles. The answer: Her building is a ghost story of the American gun. In 1911, the San Jose Mercury News called Winchester’s colossus a “great question mark in a sea of apricot and olive orchards.” Over a century later, the San Francisco Chronicle was still baffled: “the Mansion is an ornately complex answer to a very simple question: Why?” She had apparently forgotten about it and built over it. It had two chairs, an early 1900s speaker that fit into an old phonograph, and a door latched by a 1910 lock. Winchester hastily sketched designs on napkins or brown paper for carpenters to build additions, towers, cupolas or rooms that made no sense and had no purpose, sometimes only to be plastered over the next day. She built her house with shifts of 16 carpenters who were paid three times the going rate and worked 24 hours a day, every day, from 1886 until Sarah’s death in 1922.Īn American Penelope, working in wood rather than yarn, Winchester wove and unwove eternally. After she moved from New Haven, Connecticut, to San Jose, Winchester dedicated a large part of her fortune to ceaseless, enigmatic building. Her father-in-law Oliver Winchester, manufacturer of the famous repeater rifle, died in 1880, and her husband, Will, also in the family gun business, died a year later. Winchester had inherited a vast fortune off of guns. In this provocative and deeply-researched work of narrative history, Haag fundamentally revises the history of arms in America, and in so doing explodes the clichés that have created and sustained our lethal gun culture. ![]() The Gunning of America: Business and the Making of American Gun Culture ![]() Becoming a starfall member8/6/2023 ![]() Short Vowel Pals (interactive online early readers).ABCs (wonderful for letter recognition and to help kids practice letter sounds).With your Starfall annual membership, you have access to all interactive lessons and resources that are divided into prek-Kindergarten and then first grade/second grade/third grade.

Making Learning Fun for Your Kids Does NOT Have to Be Hard I am, however, eternally grateful for this interactive learning platform for younger kids. (Those early years with preschoolers, toddlers, and babies are a blur.) I don’t exactly recall how I found out about Starfall Education site. As Captain got older (and we added more boys to the crew), I searched for easy yet powerful ways to boost learning at home and keep him engaged. Most of our early resources consisted of songs, nursery rhymes, and books. And looking for meaningful resources to weave into his development.

When he is active he can appear anywhere, except when you’re in a safe room, but since all you can do is slow him down there’s zero point hanging around when he turns up, reducing him to more of a mild inconvenience than the unstoppable menace he was intended to be.Īs in the original, you also get to play as good-hearted mercenary Carlos Oliveira, but much more than before and to the point where his sections take up at least a third of the game. ![]() Except, for various story reasons, he’s not actually around all the time and if you do the sensible thing and run as soon as he appears you actually see surprisingly little of him. Nemesis works like a more athletic and heavily armed Mr. The area of city you can explore is very small though, with most roads blocked off with crashed cars and debris, and so everything still works very much like a traditional Resident Evil as you tussle with zombies using only limited ammo and solve absurdly impractical logic puzzles – although there are far less than the original. Resident Evil 3 looks and plays almost identically to the previous remake, right down to the same graphical glitch affecting some reflections, with an over-the-shoulder camera view rather than the original’s pre-rendered, fixed camera angles. And that’s equally as obvious in the remake as it was the first time around. With Code: Veronica – which did much more to move the plot and gameplay forward – a timed Dreamcast exclusive and Resident Evil 4 still years away, Capcom were worried that the franchise would lose visibility on the PlayStation and so Resident Evil 3 was rushed through to completion. Like almost all the Resident Evils, the original 1999 game had a fraught development and was originally planned to be merely a standalone expansion to Resident Evil 2. Obviously, Capcom didn’t know anything about the coronavirus when they first started work on the remake, but apart from a bit of exposition at the beginning it’s barely a factor in the story and Resident Evil is far too shlocky and silly for anyone to take offence. I was precisely in the mood for a fairly linear, day-long series of setpieces, and that's exactly what I got.įor a second opinion, here's Matthew's video review, which also touches on things like Capcom adding more connections to the Resident Evil 2 remake: To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Given how good last year’s Resident Evil 2 remake was it does make complete sense to try the same trick with its immediate sequel, since both games are set just a few hours apart, after Racoon City is ravaged by the T-virus and almost everyone is turned into a zombie. And there's certainly a huge replay potential to RE3 for completionists, and folks who are fond of difficulty challenges. I could have spent more time finding secrets and backtracking for loot. ![]() The spider labyrinth was astonishing, but it's not really a mess I'd get myself in twice, when the real joy was in escaping it. ![]() But at the same time, after six hours of it, I've had enough. Our Nate, who's not had much experience with RE, said in his Resident Evil 3 review that he wasn't sure he £50-liked it but he did like it.

It also includes Resident Evil Resistance, a new 1v4 multiplayer mode where survivors face off against monsters directed by a naughty Mastermind. The remake gives the whole game a fresh new look, with modernised controls and some story tweaks too. At times we play as an Umbrella merc too, but a good one. RE3 is actually set shortly before RE2, at a time when there are more citizens still alive - though not many. There's Jill Valentine again, saddled with the Umbrella Corporation's mistakes again, which this time include a burly lad in a bin bag who pops up every now and then for a rumble.

How to Make Peach Crisp: Prepare Peaches: Peel peaches, then slice into about 3/4 thick slices and place the peaches in a colander, resting over a bowl. Preheat the oven to 350F, and lightly coat an 8×8 inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess.

Bake until the filling is bubbling at the edges and the topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Arrange peaches in the bottom of a shallow baking dish set aside.
