Different sights, smells and sounds will help engage baby’s senses. Going for a stroll is also a great early way to expose baby to the outside world. Fresh air can work wonders for you and your one-month-old baby. Baby may soon connect the dots and understand that their eyes can follow an object’s motion. To encourage this reaction, shake a brightly colored rattle or move a ball from side to side, and see if baby’s head turns. At this stage, a one-month-old baby may start using their eyes to track moving objects. Before you know it, they’ll join in and begin imitating your silly faces and even trying out their own. For now, you’ll be the star of this one-person show. Babies love to look at faces, so give them what they want! Scrunch up your nose, stick out your tongue or make a puckered face, and your one-month-old baby will think it’s an absolute hoot. What’s more, it offers a sweet bonding moment. Research has found that reading to baby from the get-go can foster early literacy skills. Grab a picture or board book, and introduce your one-month-old to the joys of reading. ![]() And when they start to coo? Reply right back! These early conversations are precious, and baby will adore every moment. Baby loves your familiar voice and is happy to listen to anything and everything you want to say-or sing for that matter. Don’t know what to talk about? Walk your one-month-old through a diaper change, describe different family members or chat about the animal characters on their nursery walls. Use an animated voice, make eye contact and pour your heart out. It’s never too early to start communicating with baby. So keep things gentle-you probably already are!

![]() ![]() We purchased it immediately with an L-300 imagesetter and a couple of Macs. ![]() We were blown away with being able to see the entire document you were typesetting without any pasteup necessary. My mom who was our typesetter was using an Itek Quadritek Photo Typesetting System, which we still have under plastic in the basement. I remember as a young man seeing a demo of Quark back in 1988 down in Kansas City. I am anxious to see if they still have comparability issues with PDFs and files produced by Photoshop and Illustrator. Ideal for places that value warm functionality. It’s warm, it’s friendly it’s like that barista who remembers your name. Using it makes me sad that they didn't stay innovative and remain the top DTP software maker. It’s like the chameleon of fonts, blending into any design while maintaining its unobtrusive design. I must say that after not using it since Quark 10, I am impressed with the responsiveness compared to Indesign. I decided to load Quark 2023 on my machine as I frequently had to wait for our typesetter to get me old files and I wanted to be able to edit them as well. Our biggest clients send in file in Indesign and that is what I have used for decades. Before you import text into Quark, ensure this is disabled by using the Accept All Changes in Document and Delete All Comments in Document functions.We have thousands of old files created in Quark that we use day in and day out, but it is only used for old files and new typesetting done by a specific employee. Many authors collaborate using Word’s Track Changes function.It’s a good idea to get authors to turn this function off in Word. Hyperlinks - MS Word’s automatic hyperlinks come through as blue, underlined text, which you’ll have to get rid of one way or another.This is quite a serious deficiency in QuarkXPress There are Quark XTensions that enable automatic footnotes (such as this one), but realistically you’re probably stuck with inserting them manually. Footnotes - the footnote text is imported, but all the footnotes appear at the end of the text string and not on the relevant pages.If they’re big, it’s worth getting your authors to do them in Excel, as Quark can import Excel tables If the tables are fairly small, then you’re probably better off recreating them using Quark’s table function. Tables - the contents of tables do come through, but appear as characters separated by tabs.MS Word’s automatic bullets and numbers (although there is a workaround for this problem, which is discussed here). ![]()
![]() ![]() Doesn’t pick up nursery rhymes or song lyrics.AFTER developing a rather hefty case of Major Depressive Disorder, dropping out of high school, abusing substances in my rusty old Taurus after work and school, and failing in a few other aspects of my life.What are the signs that a child might have auditory processing challenges? Here are some behaviors you or your child’s teacher might have noticed: Thankfully, I am no longer undiagnosed, but I had no receptive ear from family so I reach out alone as a young adult with zero support. What's the use in trying to convince them otherwise if you can't really do any better anyway? To them it's just an excuse to mask your inherent character flaws and quirks. You get accused of being apathetic too, because /obviously/ you're doing this fun thing that makes you into a fool intentionally, which then results in you becoming apathetic. Your viewpoint is pretty ignorant really and you should do more research on a subject before making dismissive quips about people's diagnosed mental health.ĭid anyone else fail their hearing and eye exams in early elementary and get ripped on by family members only to find out in your teens that both were actually pretty average? It was nice growing up constantly listening to "Hey, deafy" and "Why can't you just pay attention?" and "You only care about yourself!" and "Why can't you just be normal?" It seems people find it easier to question your character and intelligence rather than actually viewing it as a problem that may need some attention, even if in almost the same breath they're telling you you're wise and full of potential. Yet at the same time whilst stating it should require that, you've belittled their professional knowledge within the same statement. ![]() The process to get diagnosed is a thorough process with doctors and psychiatrists, both professionally trained. There is likely an issue within America of young children being misdiagnosed as having it but then there are so many people who go undiagnosed. There are a lot more people who have ADHD than society realises, as the stigma about it is really only just starting to lift just like in the past with things like Depression and Schizophrenia. The process of diagnosis is heavily gatekeeped to steer away people who don't have ADHD and want to abuse the medication, which unfortunately ends up doing harm to those who do have ADHD and could do with help sooner. It's actually difficult to get diagnosed with ADHD, as an adult anyway. Look at their face/mouth and try to use facial expressions to add meaning to the words they're saying, many folks with APD have unknowingly taught themselves how to lip/speechread. My best tips: position yourself so that the loudest thing next to you is the person you're trying to hear. I'll try to repeat the bits I did hear in order to speed up the clarification/repetition process. They've been an absolute lifesaver, and worth every one of the MANY pennies I had to spend on them. I have hearing aids specially programmed to provide a very small volume boost to sounds in the frequencies most used in speech (& programmed to have a TON of noise reduction too) sometimes these are referred to as 'low gain' hearing aids. Whatever part of my brain that filters out important sounds (like your voice) from all the other noise is broken". I've been formally diagnosed with APD (in addition to my ADHD).įor people that want more of an explanation I describe it as my brain having no concept of background noise, it's ALL noise. Like others who've commented, I also say I'm "Hard of hearing" to strangers who demand an explanation. I think we have to swallow our discomfort because displaying it puts us in a vulnerable position. If you feel uncomfortable looking someone in the eye, I believe it's less likely that it's related to your inability to process what they're saying and more likely to be anxiety related. It probably helps with their perception of your character as far as assertiveness and confidence goes. If I have to ask them to repeat anything later it's better that I appeared attentive and forgot rather than that I forgot and also seemed apathetic in the moment. I always make sure I look people in the eyes when they're speaking because it's conveys the idea that I'm really trying to listen, even if my auditory processing is poor. If you are looking them in the eyes only when you have something to say. The unfortunate thing is that some people - especially those with any understanding of body language - might consider that to be a sign of disrespect. ![]() ![]() The Master Collection - Adobe Lightroom Preset Pack Regular price 65.00 Sale price 24.00 / Add to cart Instantly transform.

Holy paladin felt quite different since it’s played in melee. The lock was by secondary most of the expansion, but I really enjoyed learning to heal dungeons on shaman and paladin. I’m not sure which one to even talk about. Yes, it was stressful dealing with a weekly chest, assaults, and horrific visions on a bunch of toons, but actually playing them was so much fun. This was my first expansion playing multiple classes as end game, and I had such a blast. As for other classes, I did m+ on demo lock, holy and ret pali, resto and ele shaman, and a little bit of guardian druid and frost mage. I mainly played disc priest, but I also used shadow a little. It’s great getting challenging content that can be done in small chunks of time as well as with smaller groups of people than raids. I know I was late to the party, but I think mythic+ is a fantastic addition to the game. I ran a few m+ in season 3 but didn’t seriously start until this last season. I wrote previously about earning Battle for Azeroth Keystone Master: Season Four for doing all +15s, but I wanted to recap a little more about m+ this season. Here are character-specific details: Resto shaman For my alts, I was honestly just grinding certain crests to unlock transmog. I stopped on my main when I got the portals. Besides them, I played a little on alts I earned Keystone Conqueror on my frost mage and Keystone Explorer on my hunter, priest, and evoker. I earned Keystone Master on my fury warrior. My normal group didn’t really push at the end, so I pug’d to get the portals, which went very smoothly this season. I got Keystone Hero on my main, a resto shaman, with a rating of 2695.0 and earned all the portals. Now that season is over, I thought I’d recap how the second season went for me. I don’t even remember where these are obtained, but I got three tints. These are the Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms Cups transmog on the left and the Outland Cup transmog on the right. Maybe it’s not the cloth but that it doesn’t look good on a troll. This looks much worse than the other ones. These sets are for all cloth-wearing classes. Three tints of this leather, and like the previous ones, I prefer the red tint. I think these are cooler than the other armor types’ Time Rifts gear. Unlike mail classes, I didn’t unlock the campaign version of the plate sets. Like the mail versions of this set, I like the red tint from Suffusion Camps best. These are the two sets from Time Rifts vendors available to all plate classes. The aspirant set for plate-wearers is cool. I like the red tint from Suffusion Camps. I collected four the Cavern Delver’s Gear tints – time rifts & Dawn of the Infinites (bronze), world quests and world drops, campaign, and Suffusion Camps and PVP. These are the two mail sets from the time rift vendors. ![]() These sets are for all mail-wearing classes. Hm, maybe in the season 3 post… Mail gear Nothing! I didn’t have a monk at max level in season 2. Just LFR! Monk – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible? Demon Hunter – Aberrus, the Shadowed CrucibleĪnd just LFR for Demon Hunter. ![]() Death Knight – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible I think they both look really cool, but surprisingly, I like the LFR best. These are the LFR and normal tints for the druid set. I got the LFR, normal, and heroic tints of the evoker class set. I think they all look great! Evoker – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible I got the LFR, normal, and heroic tints of the hunter class set. If I was going shadow, maybe I’d use heroic! Hunter – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible Unfortunately, I don’t think I’d ever use them. ![]() I don’t like the LFR tint, but I do like the normal and heroic priest tints. I like the pink LFR tint a ton! I don’t think I’d use normal much, but I like the peach vibes from heroic too. I doubt I’d use the LFR or normal ones after unlocking the heroic and mythic ones, but they’re all cool. None of the four Aberrus tints are bad for warriors. The normal is okay, and I don’t think I’d ever use the LFR tint. Let’s take a look Class sets Shaman – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible I know it’s not the most exciting aspect of the game, but I spend a significant amount of time chasing these sets. Season 3 is about to finish, and I never posted about the season 2 transmog I earned. ![]() ![]() Now the problem with PoE compared to other ARPGS is that you can theoretically use every skill/talent/item with every character in every combination. There's a pattern with the best/worst melee skills, the best have the biggest aoe. So the slider for speed is not actually dmg, but range and aoe. Dmg values are so overtuned that even a 50% dmg bonus to all melee skills would change nothing. Melees have to get up close and go from pack to pack so they're inherently less safe but also slower, even if they'd deal much more dmg. If you kill the mobs before they can even hit you, that's the best defense you have. Which means that speed and safety are very intertwined. ![]() And defenses except insta leech and EHP are shit in general. There's nothing that makes melee inherently more safe except fortify which can still be used with whirling blades/shield charge. The things that matter in PoE are speed and safety. We are more likely to see "Wild Elemental Strike" and "Even Heavier Hit". Yet it will never happen, because they don't want to. There have been numerous solutions or at least approaches for all kinds of problems / balance. Nothing about that skill is melee.Įverything in this game is fixable. The first thing that needs rework is the devs' mindset. It wasn't top on clear speed / budget / DDPS, yet it was nerfed into the ground of being barely playable, because it apparently didn't fit into this game's spirit of monotonous uniform grinding. It was innovative, had really great passive and gear combinations. Explosive Mirror Arrow Clones was a great build. PoE on the other hand tries to make everything shit. Torchlight 2 / Titan Quest for example just made (almost) everything good. The reason other games feel better is because they don't care about some weird fringe balance. ![]() Worst case scenario they could just browse reddit and get some starting ideas from there. Don't forget these are the guys who work (probably) fulltime on their project. Yet they made this exact mistake while at the same time weakened the effect on other abilities (CoC). The devs had the foresight to add damage effectiveness to spells, because they knew fast hitting abilities with flat damage / effects can scale out of control. Frostwall is a prime example that took forever. The gem, very specific keystones and a manageable amount of uniques. It's not easier to balance nor is PoE more difficult to. So.back to my dual-class melee monsters in Titty Quest. Not to turn PoE into a hydra when a dragon was enough. But it was always implicit, wasn't it, that we could trust GGG not to let it get away from them? Not to keep adding more and more mechanical complexity when the game even in a beta state was so far ahead of the field in mechanical complexity but far, far behind on polish and user friendliness. ![]() More importantly, it's what GGG should have imposed on themselves back when we loved and supported the game.back when it actually was a much more compact, tight product.ĭid we praise the freedom of choice, the skill gem system and the skilldrasil? Of course. I've always espoused that it is with limitation that we get creative and perform optimally whether it's a deadline, a word count or a limited skill/gear set, defined finitude is what we need, not a vast illusion of choice. But PoE has shown that absolute freedom (or something close to it) is in itself a constraint, both for players with analysis paralysis and devs who are faced with the impossible task of pre-empting a player base literally tens of thousands of times larger than their balance team. I mean, I'm still playing Titan Quest on my tablet months after quitting PoE and it's ridiculously constrained in comparison. There's a reason virtually every other ARPG has skill and class tied: it's much easier to balance. The shitty thing is we really should have seen it coming. ![]() ![]() ![]() Included with the deck is a booklet of instruction, which contains two essays by Lady Frieda Harris and a commentary by Stuart R. ![]() Since its initial publication in 1969, the deck has never been out of print.
