The side pocket also fits a S’well water bottle – score! Skip Hop Greenwich Simply Chic Diaper Backpack: Skip Hop has always been good, but they’re killing it now! This blush pink faux leather backpack is so amazing I’m thinking of getting it as an everyday/work/laptop bag (inside pocket holds up to 15-inch laptops or tablets).Stokke Changing Diaper Bag: Love this unique convertible tote/messenger bag/backpack in always-good grey. Skip Hop Chelsea Diaper Bag Backpack: Fancy backpack from Skip Hop – the attached stroller straps mean you’re never searching for them.My current favorite style is backpack because I need all the hands I can get. I chose these diaper bags from the overwhelmingly large selection online because they’re versatile and functional – the styles don’t scream “I’m holding seven kinds of wipes because each kid body part needs a different type!” (Seriously though, much love to boogie wipes, especially during allergy season). As you can imagine, I was super excited to do the research for this round-up – there are so many different styles since last time I shopped for a diaper bag! I also included sections on diaper bag accessories and stroller organizers especially for you type As, plus diaper bags for dads, totes, backpacks and diaper clutches for light packers. One I’ve repurposed as a library tote, and another one is a carry-on or small weekend bag since I gravitate towards versatile styles that look more like a mainstream bag than baby bag. Over the last six years I amassed a bit of a collection I’ve donated most and have a few tried and true faves left, but not all of them are still on diaper duty. But from my experience, diaper bags tend to take a bit of a beating so this may actually work in their favor as faux leather is known to be more durable.Diaper bags are maybe my favorite thing to buy, second only to shoes. Now to be fair Burberry’s version is made from a very luxe leather, while the Timi & Leslie bag uses a PVC free faux leather. It also has a shoulder strap, top handles and stroller straps so you can hang your bag from your stroller. Their Charlie bag is 15.5”H x 17”W x 4.75”D x 7”HD, and comes with an insulated bottle tote, a zippered sac to put away soiled clothes, a changing pad with a front mesh pocket, six interior organizational pockets and an additional clutch that you can use as your purse. Sounds perfect right? It is – except one little detail…. It measures 12″W X 12″H X 8″D, includes a change pad, lots of pockets inside to keep your items organized and has two carrying options shoulder strap or top handles. This gorgeous ‘calf leather carryall for baby, topped with notice-me buckle straps and signature goldtone hardware, is a mom on-the-go’s best friend.’ I have also been a Burberry fan for a very long time, so I was surprised to find that Burberry and Timi & Leslie had something in common – their diaper bags look very similar!īurberry’s Carolina Pebble-Grain Leather Diaper Bag(left) is flawless. It was also given some star power a few years ago when Jessica Alba carried it just after the birth of her first child Honor. It is stylish, functional and perfect for the day out, with or without your kids. I have long loved Timi & Leslie’s Charlie bag. Every mom wants to look fresh and fashionable when they are out with their babes, but we don’t all have the budget for designer items.

Children can investigate whether rotational symmetry is more likely to occur when using this toy. This is where photographing real features is different from looking at a toy kaleidoscope where there is a tube, a triangular prism of mirrors and coloured pieces of plastic at the end. Saying this, the reverse challenge is to create an image which has rotational symmetry. In the photo below, you can use a mirror to clarify that the symmetry is indeed reflective rather than rotational. Photographing my dog gave the best illustration of the difference. But unless you target your feature carefully, it is unlikely to have rotational symmetry, even if the original feature has – as indicated by this lifebuoy station which has a rotational symmetry of 2. There will always be 3 lines of reflective symmetry. Also, there are more challenging activities to undertake which are probably suited to children in older classes.įor example, does the kaleidoscope app create photos which have rotational or reflective symmetry? This will really test a child’s peers of observation and understanding of rotational symmetry. For young children, this is the level I would be working at.Īs well as learning about photography and seeing features in a different way, other useful discussions may arise. With classes, group of children can have fun creating “pairs” of objects for others to match up or to play “snap” with. As I was at the beach, I went around photographing different features in a normal frame and a kaleidoscope one.Įven the most mundane features take on a new form and life when photographed through the kaleidoscope feature. Photo (#6) is an example of construction paper I photographed using a kaleidoscope made with front surface mirrors, and you can see that all of the reflected facets are sharp.I decided to undertake a very simple “Guess the Feature” activity. You can find outlets for this specialized type of mirror online by searching for front surface mirror. You must handle this kind of mirror gingerly because once you get a fingerprint on it, it is very difficult to remove without smudging or scratching the mirror. In fact, it’s very difficult to distinguish which of the facets are reflections and which one is the view straight through the kaleidoscope. A front surface mirror doesn’t have the protective glass surface, and therefore the image is not degraded. The way around this, if you want to spend the money, is to use front surface mirrors instead of the glass covered mirrors. This glass is not of optical quality, and looking through it at severe angles distorts and degrades the image. This happens because the mirrored surface we use is covered by glass (just like the typical bathroom mirror) to protect the delicate reflective surface. The surrounding facets are less sharp, and near the edges of the frame the quality of the image is significantly degraded. If you look at the kaleidoscopic images #1 through #5, you will see that there is a center triangular facet that looks very sharp. If you have a wider angle lens, that’s great. I would recommend using at least a 24mm lens (on a full frame sensor camera), or an 18mm lens on a camera with a smaller sensor. The number of facets in the resulting photos increases as the width of your lens increases. To take a picture, I simply put the lens of the camera inside the triangle of mirrors, as you see in (figure A). I used duct tape to hold the unit together, and voila!, a kaleidoscope was born. To construct the kaleidoscope, I simply stood the mirrors on their ends and arranged them in a triangle such that the mirrored surface was inside. I had them smooth the edges of the glass so it wasn’t so sharp (this is important because cut glass is razor sharp), and now it was much safer to handle. I went to a glass shop and asked them to cut three pieces of mirror measuring 6x12”. To take pictures, it’s necessary to add a third mirror to form a triangle. The cost is around $5-$10, and it can be put together in just a few minutes.Ĭommercially manufactured kaleidoscopes have two mirrors inside of them set as a “V”. Several years ago I figured out how to construct a kaleidoscope that would permit photography, and I’ve always had a lot of fun with it. I have long been intrigued with kaleidoscopic images, but it’s virtually impossible to photograph into a traditional kaleidoscope because the hole through which you look to see the beautiful designs is too small. He is making do in the big, bad world as a miniature, self-sufficient guy, and that’s the bravest thing of all. The little fella isn’t prey to insecurities of size, nor does he puff himself up to intimidate. It’s a way of reversing his modest stature, his comfort in his skin. At most, we are urging others to “look at” or “check out” a little fella, although there is one interesting twist to this formula: declaring that someone or something is “just” a little fella. Our approval is implicit in the very act of recognition - if he didn’t please us, he wouldn’t acquire the title. When you’ve encountered enough little fellas, you start to notice that people rarely have much to say about them.

I have no idea why, either. He may have something of the kawaii aesthetic, originating in Japan - cute for the sake of cuteness - though many little fellas are naturally occurring: vegetables, animals, babies and so on. “Little fella” is the exact phrase with which you greet him. He could be cuddly, sweet or otherwise friendly in appearance. However, a little fella is always unassuming and unbothered. That said, a little fella needn’t actually be little or a fella. Garden has gone crazy with these little fellas. But no! Someone putting together the art for this document said to themselves, “How can I jazz up this cover a bit?

The average person opening their microwave egg cooker for the first time won’t even pause to take stock of him indeed, he seems almost an afterthought of the designer. The anthropomorphic egg wearing sunglasses on a kitchen appliance manual is, to me, a platonic ideal of the form. If 2020 was all about discovering “ new kinds of guys,” then 2021 is a bonanza for little fellas, which come in a staggering variety - you just have to know where to look. Have you guys seen this little character? He has sunglasses on. Nowadays, a “little fella” is the thing to be. The same era saw a trend of championing enormousness: Remember the “ absolute unit”? But in the years since, the internet has pivoted to celebrating the small, short and diminutive. The memes that grew out of the game referenced the latter quality, and none was so rankling as a two-panel comic where Cuphead himself addresses the reader as “little fella.”Ĭlearly, “little fella” is used in patronizing fashion here - it targets the frustrated and petulant gamer on the point of bricking their console. Back in 2017, a video game called Cuphead was all the rage for a couple of reasons: It was 1) a visually sumptuous ode to the “rubber hose” style of animation seen in 1920s cartoons and 2) quite difficult. When you cut a specific section in a video and join the remaining segments together, the audio carries on in synchronization with the new video.

Shaun Jooste Updated a month ago Effortlessly cut and join videos on PC!įree Video Cutter Joiner is designed for people interested in cutting large video files, thereby allowing them to remove specific sections in videos, especially commercials. Some of the developers behind Sleeping Dogs were previous developers on certain Need for Speed titles, and that shines through. Speaking of driving, this is going to be one aspect of the game some people will have a problem with. You’ll have punk, rock/metal, Asian, classical, hip-hop/RnB, electronic, jazz and others – a good mix overall, but nothing too exciting (to me, personally). When in a vehicle, you’ll be able to peruse eight or so stations of varying genres. Throughout the game you’ll also be required to lockpick or hack something, with the mechanics for each being rather simple (and mostly unneeded, but it does “add” a little interactivity).Ī mainstay of many open-world games can also be found here: radio stations. As with any good open-world game, there are many things to distract you from your main quest, such as street racing, betting on cock fights, gambling in a game of poker mahjong, singing karaoke and more. You’ll be able to drive cars, trucks, bikes and boats – and even have the ability to leap from one to another while driving. Even then, I die a fair bit, so it just goes to show that skill and very quick reflexes will help you out a lot here.Ĭombat aside, the game features many other mechanics to help keep things interesting. Because of this, I actually spent time perusing the world just to find Health Shrines, as every five will increase your health by 10% (to a maximum of +100%). If you’re caught in a bad situation where you end up getting hit three or four times in a row, you’re almost as good as dead. I’m generally a person who loves challenge, never playing a game on anything below “normal” and most often on “hard”, and even I find some of the combat damage inflicted on you to be overkill. The combat difficulty here can’t be understated. If you save your game before such a mission, reloading it will start you back at your apartment, requiring you to run or drive back to the mission if you want to try it again. Death during side missions, such as those that help increase your Face level and “Drug Busts”, will spawn you at the hospital. Weapons can usually break someone’s block after a few whacks, whereas your fists cannot.Īdding to the difficulty also is that if you die (which is easy), you won’t be able to retry the challenge again immediately unless it’s an official Triad or Police mission. If there’s a crowbar or knife on the ground, pick it up, because while it’s in your hand, you’re literally three times as effective (rough estimate, but seems accurate to me). This is where I tell you that weapons are important – not guns, but anything that your foe might drop. On one hand, you’re regularly being ganged-up on by four or more people, and to make things worse, you lose health fast. That all said, the combat in Sleeping Dogs is difficult, in turn making the game difficult. If you master them, though, you’ll be able to clear through packs of thugs a lot easier than if you were simply punching and kicking. For the most part, these are easy to execute – if you’re not being ganged-up on. Much like the combat in the just-reviewed Darksiders II, you have a range of combos that can be performed here, with some to be unlocked as you earn XP or when you return a lost Jade Statue to a fighting master. The combat in Sleeping Dogs is also quite a bit different than the norm, as guns really aren’t a major focus. Each district has a “home” for you, so if you die there, you won’t be brought all the way back to your original apartment (and it’s a good thing, as it’s dingy). For the most part, you’ll spend a lot of time in each district, one at a time, but you will end up going from one to the other on a regular basis. While the world is based on Hong Kong, and the four district names are based on real-life locations, the layout and design is purely fictional. Overall, the in-game world isn’t particularly large (I’d say it might be a tad larger than the in-game world of Saints Row 3 and 50% larger than Mafia II – rough estimates!), but what space is there is used very effectively. Near the start, you’ll find yourself in a night market, and throughout you’ll visit commercial districts, touristy spots, off-shore gambling dens, slum-like areas, docks and so forth. Given the location, you can probably already guess what sorts of environments you’ll stumble on in the game. You’ll need enough evidence to break into Simon’s house and collect the last pieces of evidence in his basement.

The troops initially set out on a mission to capture or kill a leader of ISIS in the Greater Sahara without properly informing their chain of command, which thought the eight-vehicle convoy was on a mission to meet with village leaders. The soldiers did not spend enough time training together before deploying, did not properly prepared for their mission with Nigerien troops and were not properly equipped to fight a well-trained enemy, Cloutier determined in his investigation. Roger Cloutier, the AFRICOM chief of staff who led the probe into the incident, blamed systemic problems for the soldiers ending up in a fight where they were outmanned three-to-one and outgunned.

Well, the protagonist was able to use any and all those secrets. At his emperors command, Ryner Lute and his longtime comrade Ferris set out on a search for heroic relics in this Japanese anime series. The Legend of the Legendary Heroes SAVE Edition contains episodes 1-25. The protagonist is a stereotypically lazy do-nothing that is sent to find legendary magical relics. The problem with Legendary Heroes is how it doesn’t focus on the interesting magic system or show any character changes. Every episode of The Legend of the Legendary Heroes ever, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. Instead it focuses on political hijinks that often left me wondering what was going on. The series had a poor habit of introducing characters and kingdoms suddenly and resolving the “conflict” in a single episode. Supposedly the conflict lasted for weeks or months although, the viewer would never guess this without the characters mentioning it. What happens in just a single episode could easily span a season if done well. It felt like Heroes was aiming for Code Geass level complexity but didn’t have the running time or focus.Ĭharacters were regularly introduced seemingly at random without any foreshadowing. Yet, the way they entered the story and knew the main characters left me feeling like I was missing something. Not to mention some of the political moves involving this characters made little to no sense. To be fair, I only watched 8 out of 25 episodes. However, there wasn’t enough to hold my attention. I didn’t really see the next 4 episodes furthering the main story or even clarifying the main story. I couldn’t feel anything for the characters other then mild annoyance for several of them. Side characters entered the stage, died, and left no imprint on me. Often I just felt confusion: who was that? Why was he important? And the story left me without answers much of the time. I’ve seen worse anime, but Legend of the Legendary Heroes just couldn’t hold my attention.

In this Skyward Sword HD Skyview Temple walkthrough, we’ll guide you through this area with tips on finding items, rupees, and collectibles and completing every quest and side quest. Now that we’ve upgraded our shield, we’re better prepared to tackle it. Skyview Temple is deep in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’s Faron Woods. |
