And just like Laughtons film, Frailty is steeped in Christian lore. Paxton as an adult adopted an attitude somewhere between his Catholic mothers and Pagan fathers, a dash of the genuine and the cynic. Laughton, as evidenced in his film, felt a certain amount of antipathy for the churchhe was in the closet for most of his lifeyet was still soaking in its parables and finding some value there. Both were character actors, oscillating between the evil or fatherly and somehow exceeding equally at both, which may speak to the actors religious backgrounds and subsequent rebellions against thema performer who can sense the struggle between good and evil in their characters is a successful performer.īoth men had mothers who were devout Roman Catholics and fathers who were ambivalent to the Bible. Its worth noting that Paxton and Laughton lived parallel lives of sorts. Of course, Paxton, who played the touched-by-God father Meiks, felt it was clear that his character was an Old Testament hero, though even that qualifier does not answer the question of whether or not Meiks was good. Even now, its difficult to describe this film, which could either be about a serial killer or a savior, depending on how you look at it. Not violent enough to be a full-on horror film, too suggestive for families, and both critical and embracing of religion, Frailty seemed to be a movie of too many paradoxes. The film was pushed to April of 2002 but was buried just as deeply as Laughtons was, with relatively positive but not stellar reviews. Then, of course, it wasnt such a fun time to see misguided men murdering for their beliefs. ![]() The films release was scheduled for September 2001. Finally, eventually, he was able to direct his first film, Frailty, a dramatic thriller starring Paxton himself and Matthew McConaughey, about a man who believes he was told by God to kill demons disguised as humans, and the two sons who wonder if their father is going insane. Acting, to Paxton, wasnt a career path but a last resort to working in the movie business. He moved from Texas to Los Angeles at the age of 18, applied to two film schools, and got rejected from both. Hed always considered himself a filmmaker, never an actor, though hed appeared in some of the most successful films in American history, including Aliens, Apollo 13, The Terminator, True Lies, Tombstone, and so many others. ![]() But that didnt help Laughton, who passed in 1962 and never directed another film. Anyway, the film was largely forgotten or ignored until its rediscovery in the 1970s, when it was hailed a work of great genius. The studio tried to bury it, but Laughton desperately wanted to go in a different route, traveling the country with his movie to build word of mouth the same way he worked in theater. The film had been in the can for a while, but the studio balked at its premise and execution: Was it a romantic drama or a horror film? A childrens fairy tale or adult entertainment? Marketing materials from the time suggest they never quite figured it out. ![]() When actor Charles Laughtons now-classic directorial debut The Night of the Hunter premiered in 1955, itd been a long road to the theater.

I, every person I interviewed, almost without exception, eventually would say, ‘You know, I could never really figure him out.'” Morris decided to use a fictional character in his biography in an attempt to paint Reagan as how one might see Reagan if you had known Reagan over his life and career. As Morris said, “Nobody around him understood him. ![]() Why did he include fictional elements in the biography? Well after years of being around Reagan, interviewing him many times, along with personal acquaintances and people who worked for the President, Morris had a difficult time figuring Reagan out, getting inside his head. Morris had fictional elements in his biography of Reagan. After its release, the biography generated a lot of controversy over the way it was written. Morris was basically hired on as White House staff during the Reagan years so he could research and write Reagan’s official biography. Morris was also the official biographer of President Ronald Reagan. I can’t say enough about Morris’s art and skill as a biographer. The 3 volume biography leaves you feeling like you’ve truly been in the presence of TR. ![]() The first volume, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book award.

So take the calculator, press 6, and then 2. Let’s say, this time you could only hit 6 on the first ball delivery and 2 on the second- a total of 8. Your best possible score of 234 will also be displayed.įrame 7: Now to understand the game better, let’s cool down the heat. This delivery will successfully complete your score on #5 and #6 frame and that is respectively 105 and 114 (also your total score). So, now press the number 9 on the calculator and then 0. Sadly, on your second delivery, you couldn’t pick up the spare. The 1st box from the right will show your maximum possible score of 256.įrame 6: Okay, now you have hit 9 balls on the 6th frame. The second box from the right side will also show your current total score which is 86. Now some new numbers will pop on frames #3 and #4 respectively, they are 66 and 86. ![]() You will see the top right side of the 5th box showing a ‘/’ (slash mark). Now, just press 7 first, which will appear on the left side of the 5th box. ![]() Now your total score will change to 39 and, yes, the number 39 will appear on frame #2 as well.įrame 5: So, on this frame, you have successfully knocked down 7 pins, and on your 2nd delivery, the rest 3 pins. You need to make one more delivery for that.įrame 4: Goodness! Are you the new bowling master? Another strike! Simply press the number 10 and another ‘X’ will appear on the small section of the 4th box. So, just repeat the process as per the frame #2 description. I’m assuming you scored another strike after your first one. To get a 300 score, you have to strike in every single frame.įrame 3: Congratulations! A second strike. But is the highest possible score in bowling possible now? Well, no, you missed the chance of a perfect game on your very first delivery. This is because you will have to wait till your next two deliveries. Now don’t freak out if your total score doesn’t change. It will appear on the small box on the upper right side of the box. This ‘X’ is the roman number, meaning it’s a 10. Your bowling alley’s scoreboard will display an ‘X’. You will also see your current total, which is 9 and the maximum possible score on the last square box (at the right side).įrame 2: Now suppose, you’re on the 2nd frame, and you have scored a strike. Once both inputs are given, you will automatically see the calculation result, which is 9 appearing in the lower part of that first square box. Now, press 4 and you will see 4 appear in the small frame box. So, all you have to do is- press 5 and you will see the number ‘5’ appearing on the upper left side of the first square box of the bowling score calculator. Here we go-įrame 1: On your first ball delivery, you have knocked down 5 pins, followed by 4 pins from the 5 remaining pins. To understand better, let’s picture an entire game you’re playing. Hence, let’s not make any further delay and keep on reading to know how to use the bowling score calculator. It’s easy to understand, simple to use, and definitely time-saving! So how does a bowling score calculator functions? Where do you press and what to type? I’m sure you have a lot of questions in your mind right now. ![]() So what do you think is the best solution for that? Just get your smartphone out and use this bowling score calculator. Indeed, that’s very time-consuming and annoying. But don’t you think that’s a bit of a hassle? You are already concerned about how you are going to throw your next ball, and after every shot, you can’t just pick up a piece of paper and pencil to write down your score. You can do that using a piece of paper and a pencil. That was to make you understand how the bowling scoring system works. But what will you do when your bowling center’s scorer is out of order? How will you keep a record of your score? The best solution to your problem? Bowling score calculator.

If you decide to keep them in a tank, they will require lots of space and hiding places. Males can be distinguished from females thanks to their more elongated claws. They feature a stunning blue that is usually only found in saltwater species. There is no doubt that Blue Crayfish add a level of exoticness that not many other freshwater species do. Naturally, this crayfish is only found in the rivers of Florida but they have been spread worldwide thanks to its popularity in the fishkeeping hobby. They are often mistakenly misnamed the Blue Lobster. “Blue Crayfish” is the common name for the Procambarus alleni species. Make sure to feed them a meaty pellet as the staple, and live or frozen foods to provide variety. If you keep them, they will spend most of their time slowly walking along the bottom of the tank. Their ideal temperature ranges from 60-64☏ (16-18☌). They can be difficult to keep with other popular freshwater fish, because they have a large mouth and they require colder temperatures than most.

Mormon advises his son to accept things he cannot change but, nevertheless, not to give up fighting for other things: “Behold, I am laboring with them continually and when I speak the word of God with sharpness they tremble and anger against me and when I use no sharpness they harden their hearts against it wherefore, I fear lest the Spirit of the Lord hath ceased striving with them. “Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole” ( Job 5:17–18). In one German version of the Bible, the heading for the book of Job reads, “Job’s fortune-Job’s misfortune.” In spite of his misfortunes and initial complaints, Job developed the serenity to accept his God-given fate. Physical and spiritual tests are a part of our lives. He simply could not accept the reality of his accident. He kept asking himself the question, “How could I have had so little control over my life that such an accident could happen to me?” When he started to feel better, he attributed his recovery to himself alone, not to the doctors, and definitely not to the prayers of his faithful wife. At that time, he almost despaired at the fact that others held the reins and had the power to decide what would happen to him. He continually stresses that he is only happy, at least as most people understand happiness, when he himself has control of every situation and has a firm grip on the reins of his life. I know a man who does not believe in God. We often find it difficult to accept things that we cannot change. I would like to illustrate each with an example. I have often thought about these three qualities-serenity, courage, and wisdom. It says: “God, grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference” (adapted from a prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr, 1943, in Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations, 15th ed., p. So here I am!

To know they are not alone, and hopefully give them strength and hope. I started making the jewelry so people would have something tangible to hold and touch when they felt alone, down, or weak. I remember that comfort and empowerment that I felt and wanted to give others that feeling. It seemed to comfort and empower me, as I felt like there was someone or something out there looking out for me and believing in me when I couldn't believe in myself. I wore that pendant every day, and would touch it and hold on to it when I felt weak. And it made me so emotional, as I definitely felt like a lost cause at the time. The man in the movie had said "To him there are no lost causes". Jude pendant, as he is (among other things) the patron saint of lost causes.

There is no iPad app that is a magic wand that is going to make your students amazing Mathematicians. If you take anything away from reading this post it should be this. Keynote – create a narrated presentation on the topic PuppetPals HD – generate an animated learning sequenceĬreative Book Builder or Book Creator – create their own ePub about the topic Garageband– create a song or podcast about a Mathematical construct Other ways in which apps can be used innovatively. Run a quiz at the end of the lesson (or Space Race if using Socrative Teacher / Socrative Student) using Socrative (all free) or eClicker host (£6.99) / eClicker student (free). Screenchomp, whilst handy, is not as good as its counterparts). Whilst Educreations is good – the fact that it exports sequences to a site with a Flash movie makes it unsupportable for sharing on an iPad. Then, to finish off the activity, you ask students to use a screencasting app, such as Show Me, Screenchomp, Educreations, or Explain Everything (£1.99) (for my money, if you can – get Explain Everything, it is the Daddy – if you want a Ronseal app that students will pick up and run with VERY easily, go for Show Me. Then, whilst supporting students with this learning, they practice their learning using the Algebra Touch app which gives students algebraic learning and practice opportunities. If you’re not using a flipped model, you could always demonstrate this in your lesson as you may do normally. Students then arrive at your classroom with some understanding of the process. If you’re running a flipped model, you may wish to show a video on how to solve a simple algebraic equation, either created by you or perhaps from iTunes U or the Khan Academy on the topic. It is much better to get a workflow with multiple apps to support the learning. The best way of working with these apps though is not in isolation. Here are just some of the apps available from the App store related to Mathematics: That said, innovative approaches to using multiple apps can really help with the support of the learning of different elements within the Maths curriculum. It is not going to do the teaching for you. When thinking about using an iPad to support learning, it is important to remember that the iPad supports learning. |
