Cennino D' Andrea Cennini's Il Libro dell' Arte (The Craftsman's Handbook, translated by Daniel V. Thompson) is available for free online in what appears to be the full text. The Il Libro dell' Arte was written in the 15th century and is basically a late Medieval art how-to book.

I'm hoarding it for the helm crest making part, but it also has:

Making Glue out of Lime and Cheese

How to Paint a Dead Man

Actually quite a lot on making coloured pigments

I feel like the Primaris should have been the catalyst for like, an imperial civil war. At the very least, much unrest in the house of Guilliman. Their existence, let alone rollout/integration, should have had many chapters absolutely rioting. It should be beyond the pale by several orders of magnitude and be seen as an enormous overreach by the more autonomy loving chapters, a blasphemy by the more orthodox chapters, and an existential threat to chapters with geneseed quirks. Plus anyone with any awareness of the thunder warriors should take one look at them and recognize the writing on the wall. Guilliman should absolutely recognize what they represent, what they imply. Like they're the leading wave of a paradigm shift that doesn't bode well for what came before. And I say this as someone who's not averse to Primaris, I just think they could've, should've, been a waaaay bigger deal. I know they loathe changing the status quo and we're never getting rid of the posterboys but I think we missed out on something interesting.

I need to stop watching medical dramas. It hurts to see doctors trying everything they can to figure out someone's symptoms when that really doesn't happen in the real world.

Okay, used https://ballotpedia.org/Main_Page and https://www.vote411.org to pick my votes for today. Going after work.

You can put in your address and see the races you’ll be voting in, and you can get the biographies of the candidates and see their answers to some questions. Vote411 lets you select your candidates and then you can see the list and print it out to take to the polls with you.

Also there's TurboVote: https://turbovote.org/ This site can help you get registered and find your polling place, and I'm signed up to get reminders of elections that I can vote in.

The closest character to Kokomi in terms of similarities is Alhaitham. They both want to essentially do what interests them the most (read) and be left alone. Both are quite intuitive about understanding and predicting situations and people. The difference is that Kokomi feels a higher level of responsibility over her environment then Alhaitham. She feels more obligated to do what she doesn’t want to do while Alhaitham just cannot be bothered.

Building Strong Sentence Structure in Young Children: A Guide for Parents and Teachers

Building strong sentence structure is foundational for a child's language development, paving the way for clear communication and academic success. This guide will equip parents and teachers with effective strategies to help young learners master this essential skill.

Why is Sentence Structure Important?

Well-formed sentences are crucial for a child's overall development:

Improved Reading Comprehension: Understanding how sentences are constructed enhances reading fluency and comprehension.

Enhanced Writing Skills: Strong sentence structure is the bedrock of effective written communication, from simple sentences to complex paragraphs.

Cognitive Development: Learning to organize thoughts into coherent sentences strengthens cognitive skills like logic, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Foundational Strategies

Building a strong foundation for sentence structure begins with understanding the core components:

Subject (or Doer of the Action for simple sentences): This is the noun or pronoun that performs the action in the sentence. For example, in "The cat sleeps," "cat" is the subject.

Verb (or Action Word for simple sentences): This is the word that describes the action being performed by the subject. In the example above, "sleeps" is the verb.

By introducing these fundamental concepts early on, children can begin to grasp the basic structure of a sentence.

Engaging Learning Activities

Learning should be an enjoyable experience. Here are some fun and effective ways to engage young children:

Play Games:

"I Spy": "I spy with my little eye something blue (adjective)."

"Go Fish": "Do you have the red (adjective) card (noun)?"

"Simon Says": "Simon says jump (verb)!"

Sing Songs and Rhymes: Many nursery rhymes and children's songs utilize simple sentence structures, making them excellent learning tools.

Tell Stories: Encourage children to retell simple stories using their own words, prompting them to use complete sentences.

Real-World Applications

Connecting sentence structure to everyday experiences reinforces learning:

Describe Everyday Activities: "We are eating (action word) breakfast (noun)."

Give Simple Instructions: "Please put (action word) your toys (noun) away."

Engage in Conversations: Ask open-ended questions that encourage children to use complete sentences in their responses. For example, instead of "What did you do at school today?" ask, "Can you tell me one thing you did at school today?"

Visual Learning Aids

Visual aids can make abstract concepts more concrete for young learners:

Use Picture Cards: Flashcards with pictures of objects, actions, and adjectives can help children visualize and identify key elements of a sentence.

Draw and Write Together: Encourage children to draw pictures and then write simple sentences to describe their drawings.

Use Sentence Strips: Cut strips of paper and write individual words on each strip. Have children arrange the strips to form complete sentences.

Educational Apps: Many educational apps incorporate interactive games and activities that teach sentence structure.  

Educational Videos: Engaging videos can introduce sentence concepts, demonstrate sentence building, and provide visual examples. Here's a Youtube video that spark sentence structure awareness:

Interactive Whiteboards: In a classroom setting, interactive whiteboards can be used for collaborative sentence building exercises and games.  

Creating a Supportive Learning Environment

Praise and Reinforce Efforts: Celebrate every attempt to form a sentence, even if it's not perfect. Positive reinforcement encourages continued effort.

Be Patient with Mistakes: Children are still learning. Avoid harsh corrections. Focus on guiding and supporting their language development.

Focus on Communication: The primary goal is to encourage clear and effective communication. Grammatical perfection will come with time and practice.

The Power of Reading Aloud

Reading aloud provides invaluable exposure to language:

Choose Books with Simple Sentence Structures: Picture books and early reader books are excellent resources.

Discuss the Stories: Ask questions about the characters, plot, and the way the story is told. Guide children to identify different sentence types (e.g., "Look, this sentence tells us what the dog is doing!").

Conclusion

By incorporating these strategies into daily routines, parents and teachers can effectively guide young children in their journey of language development. Remember to keep learning fun and engaging, and celebrate every milestone along the way.

Ok also it's something that I've been thinking about and I think something that would have helped Gridania a lot is a rival faction. Like Ul'dah, you instantly have two factions that function pretty effective as good guys and bad guys. Limsa is less clear cut, but its made clear that while the Admiral is the leader, there's a bunch of pirate crews and trying to get them all to work together is like herding cats, because they all have their own priorities and rivalries and such. Gridania has...Kan-E-Senna, who's the boss, and then....nothing. Nobody for her to play off, nobody for us to contrast her against and go "oh, so this is what she's dealing with and why she can't just solve every issue." Like if there was some kinda powerful, entrenched Hearer community that was opposing her, or a faction propping someone else up as Elder Seedseer, or just any kind of force that makes us go "oh no! we're in your corner, Kan-E-Senna!" instead she's just the figurehead for a system where Bad Things Happen- and unlike everywhere else, where we can point to causes or reasons why solutions wouldn't work so easily, the takeaway from most of Gridania's issues has to be "Kan-E-Senna is just bad at doing her job."

it's actually gotten to the point where i scroll through online shops and get increasingly frustrated because i want nothing they have. i want nice fabric and a nice pattern and the time and skills to make a nice dress to my own measurements, not a plastic garment that will sit on my body uncomfortably. the options i have for buying stuff when i do need it are so dissatisfying

I will always be somewhat angry that the US gay marriage debate overwhelmingly focused on "well actually the Bible DOES support homosexuality!" instead of "your religion should not dictate whether I have the legal rights granted by marriage"

I forgot to post that I graduated from residency in September and I just started working last Friday. I love my community health center. I'm so glad I made it and I want to be the best doctor I can be.😊��🏽‍⚕️

If you do primary care or psychiatry in Massachusetts and at least 40% of your patients have MassHealth or are uninsured, then you can apply for MassHealth student loan repayment programs. They offer PCPs up to $100,000 in loan repayment for working with this population for at least 4 years! Application opens today, November 14th!

I'm obviously applying! I was considering National Health Service Corps, but they only pay up to a maximum of $75,000 if you work for an FQHC for 10 years. MARepay will give you up to a maximum of $100,000 for serving for 4 years. But apparently, you can't be enrolled in any other loan repayment program to participate in MARepay.
