I did want to post the playlists I've been maintaining for this year, however. While I'm not writing about music at the moment, I am, as always, collecting, collating, curating these.

For 2023, I'm breaking things down a little more granularly, with two new playlists, "Clurb" and "Calm," being added to the regular offerings of "Classic" (at least ten-ish years old) and "Current (mostly from this calendar year, but maybe some 2022 material makes it past the censors).

A full archive of all these can be found on the Playlists subpage.

Nearly twelve months have passed without a peep from me, and I think—think!—that's going to change in short order.

I've new, albeit modest, things coming via Nilo soon (a sequel to the "Please Honk" bumper sticker), and I'm contemplating ways to more efficiently and quickly publish and distribute all the gobbledygook that is suffocating in my mind and crammed into my notebooks. I am certain some or all of it will live on or be connected to BBBD, though whether this twenty-year-old blog is a hub or spoke remains to be seen.

At any rate, I'll start jottings things down here again, in more typical journal format. In the meantime, follow the four playlists I'll be maintaining as per usual (they're embedded below) and behold my latest "product," a song-a-day experiment. There's an RSS feed for it if that's your jam. (There's something intoxicating about rejiggering a Spotify playlist into, essentially, a microblogging platform, and I'm happy I finally hacked it. This is something I've been wanting to make for ages.)

The Show:

Back when I was half joking about the acumen with which Better Call Saul was going in its second season, you knew that it would head down a sad yet inevitable road, right? Jimmy (its second season) would become Saul eventually, despite his best efforts otherwise.

There are two big changes that have occurred since I wrote a lot of words down about the show; one being the death of Jimmy's brother Chuck (Michael McKean, This is Spinal Tap) and the introduction or reacquainting if you will of Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito, Breaking Bad), both of which occur in Seaso...Read the entire review

Skip It

Sesame Street was one of the only things I was allowed to watch on TV in my early years, and it's no question that it helped to shape me. It was one of the first times that TV had been used to educate children on things like numbers and spelling without being either boring or silly. Its creators had noticed that children memorized TV commercials easily, so they thought the same approach could be used to make them learn things that were actually important. The resulting show has been in a format of clips, primarily focusing on Sesame Street itself with its Muppet and human inhabitants, but also interspersed with separate sketches featuring those characters and some live-action or animated segments that I always felt took place in another universe- having some educational value and a unique quality to them, but having absolutely nothing to do with the main characters or setting, and they were never co...Read the entire review

This second DVD release from Shout Factory Kids celebrating Sesame Street's 50th anniversary consists of a special made this year for prime time on both HBO (where the show has moved for its first run episodes) and PBS (which still presents the show delayed after the HBO showings, and with an annoying "E/I" symbol at the top of the screen to count towards the FCC's required hours of "educational programming" each week- in that regard it's likely for the better that its new primary home is HBO.) Like the 25th anniversary special, which was one of the very first DVD releases back in 1997, this focuses mostly on songs from the show but most of them are new performances, done on the show's set, rather than archival clips. There's a number of celebrity appearances but for some reason Joseph Gordon-Levitt, born after I had already outgrown the show on TV, was chosen to be the main "star". He takes a cab t...Read the entire review

In this introduction to a sub-series in our wider study on 'The Holy Spirit', we consider: what exactly is the Fruit of the Spirit? Whose life is it anyway? Here in 'The Fruit Of The Spirit - God's Personality' we find the answer to why the Christian life is impossible to live in the flesh. This sermon is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

Is 'Self-control' nothing more than merely exercising will-power? If not, what is it then? How is it different from just 'trying harder'? In this concluding message in our mini-series on 'The Fruit of the Spirit', find out how self-control is a key to effectively accessing the other fruit of the Spirit. Also find out what Paul meant when he said of the fruit of the Spirit, 'against such there is no law'. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In Part 30 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit', we continue our look at the gifts of the Spirit by asking: Is there a difference between the gifts of healings and the gift of 'Miracles'? If so, what are the differences? What is the purpose of miracles? What is the best atmosphere for miracles to take place? In this episode, David seeks to help us answer these questions from the truth of scripture. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In the concluding session of 'Helping Others To Freedom', we look at how the principles of personal healing and deliverance apply to whole regions, and are essentially the same principles that can prepare a region for revival awakening. This is 'Revival And Deliverance - The Bigger Picture' - God sets individuals free in order to heal and deliver the world.

This year I will have 4 children to teach:

Kate - 4th grade
Claire- 3rd grade
Henry - 1st grade
Jack - K4

I will also have:

Sims-3
Miles-18 months (right now)
Baby 7-due in October

I do a little for K4 only because I think it's good practice for both of us. I don't think K4 needs to be taught. However, most children, especially those with older brothers/sisters, are itching to start "school" like everyone else. It's good practice for me to slowly get used to teaching another child. I can see what it will look like and how it will effect our schedule. We do handwriting, phonics, and basic, fun math. I do also include them in our Science reading but do not require them to do anything and most of the time do not require them to sit and listen the entire time.

With that being said, here is what we'll be using this year:

Jack- K4

Math-Singapore Essentials
Handwriting - ABeka
Phonics/Reading - Reading Made Easy (I really love this book but obviously I did not pay $1000 for it at amazon-more like $5)

Henry-1st grade

Math-Horizons 1
Grammar-First Language Lesson
Writing-Writing with Ease
Handwriting-ABeka
Phonics-Explode the Code
Reading-Heart of Dakota Emerging Readers set and selections from Veritas Press
Science-Apologia with Claire
History-History for Little Pilgrims - we will just read through this together

I don't really start official spelling until 2nd grade

Claire-3rd grade

Math-Horizons 3
Grammar/Writing-Rod and Staff
Handwriting-Classically Cursive - Veritas Press
Spelling-Rod and Staff
Reading-Selections from Veritas Press Literature and History
Science-Apologia with Henry
History-Veritas Press self-paced online course-Explorers to 1815

Kate-4th grade

Math-Saxon 6/5
Grammar/Writing-Rod and Staff
Handwriting-Classically Cursive-Veritas Press
Spelling-Rod and Staff
Reading-Selections from Veritas Press Literature and History
Science-Apologia Anatomy
History-Veritas Press self-paced online course-Middle Ages, Reformation, and Renaissance

Together-

Bible-Veritas Press
Greek-Song School Greek, and other products from Classic Academic Press


We've made a few changes but kept our favorites too. We LOVE Veritas Bible and the reading lists. We also love the history but this year the girls are doing their own separate courses online. So far, they have been very interested in them and I don't have to do anything which makes me excited. They include map work, quizzes, tests, and outside reading.

Kate is becoming more independent which is why she is doing her own science this year. I let her pick it out and she picked Anatomy. I do love Apologia but was having a hard time combining children so I think this will work out well. She has finished up her first section and loves it so far. She reads by herself and then comes to me to narrate. After that, she works in her notebook to record what she has learned and does the experiments. I have had to help her very little.

I switched math for everyone this year and I think it will be a good switch. I haven't found a math I love yet but I really like the look of Horizons for K-3 so I think this may be the keeper. I then plan to switch the kids to Saxon at whatever level they place into. Kate placed into 6/5 this year. I almost pulled her back to 5/4 but I just decided to let her do 6/5 and slow it down if needed. It lends itself to independent learning as well so I think she will thrive on it. Rick and I both love math and so we're not afraid to "teach" it though.  And yes, I have looked at Teaching Textbooks but so far I am not interested in it. I might change my tune at some point.

I think that's about it! I'll post about our schedule/routine on another post.

We went to the park back in November to enjoy the nice weather and because Rick took the day off of work. This is one of my new favorite pictures of the kids. Little Luke (exactly 1 month old at the time) was in his little car seat. Maybe he can climb on the slide with everyone this summer. :)

Postano: 13.11.2024. 8:06 (GMT 1) Rukometni klub Baranja u suradnji s Udrugom BIT organizirao je drugi XIXO kup, turnir u mini rukometu, u sklopu obilježavanja Dana Grada Belog Manastira.

Na sportskom terenu Nastavno-sportske dvorane u Belom Manastiru, snage su odmjerile najmlađe rukometne ekipe, uzrasta od 9 do 10 godina s područja Osječko-baranjske, Vukovarsko-srijemske, Brodsko-posavske i Požeško-slavonske županije. Sudjelovalo je 12 klubova s 20 prijavljenih ekipa. Ukupno oko 200 djece.

"Turnir nema natjecateljski karakter, a cilj mu je da djeca razviju ljubav prema rukometu, i sportu općenito. Izuzetno je važno da djeca nauče i usvoje pravila rukometa, a najvažnije da postanu timski igrači i dio ekipe jer, rukomet je timski sport", objašnjava cilj i smisao XIXO kupa, turnira u mini rukometu Dalibor Dodoš, dopredsjednik Rukometnog kluba Baranja iz Belog Manastira.

Autor: Redakcija 031 Naslov: 3. Simpozij zdravstva "Tvoj dodir, njihov puls" [2024.]
Postano: 13.11.2024. 9:23 (GMT 1) Treći po redu Simpozij zdravstva (SIZOS), koji je posvećen edukaciji šire javnosti našega grada držat će se 15. i 16. studenog 2024. u prostorijama Fakulteta agrobiotehničkih znanosti.

Prošlogodišnji simpozij obilježio je listopad kao Mjesec ženskog zdravlja, tijekom kojeg smo obrađivali ključne teme vezane uz žensko zdravlje. Događaj je privukao više od 150 sudionika, među kojima su najveći dio činili studenti, ali i svi ostali zainteresirani za ovu temu.

Tema ovogodišnjeg simpozija je „Tvoj dodir, njihov puls“. Studenti Medicinskog fakulteta Osijek, profesori i doktori KBC-a Osijek, kao i udruge poput Crvenog križa, jednostavno će i pristupačno prenijeti znanja o spašavanju ljudskih života. Neke od tema uključuju prepoznavanje i postupanje u slučaju infarkta, pravilnu reakciju kod stranog tijela u oku te najčešće prijelome i načine pružanja prve pomoći u tim situacijama.

Sudionici će imati priliku postavljati pitanja stručnjacima tijekom okruglih stolova, na teme kao što su anestezija i intenzivna medicina te hitna medicina, kao i stjecati praktično znanje kroz radionice, uključujući osnove održavanja života, održavanje života u pedijatrijskoj populaciji i mnoge druge.

Cilj ovogodišnjeg simpozija je pružiti osnovna znanja i vještine studentima i široj javnosti u prepoznavanju i pravilnom postupanju u hitnim stanjima.

Uronite u mračni svijet paranormalnih istraživanja s mlađim Hellboyem, smještenim u 1955. godinu, u rane dane B.P.R.D.-a (Biro za paranormalna istraživanja i obranu). Hellboy (Jack Kesy) se pridružuje istraživačici Bobbie Jo Song u misiji transporta opasnog pauka. No, kada pauk pobjegne, njihov lov kroz divljinu Apalačkih planina vodi ih do Toma Ferrella (Jefferson White), vještca koji se vraća nakon dugo vremena kako bi ispravio svoje grijehe. U njihovoj potrazi nailaze na Coru Fisher, djevojku koju je Tom davno napustio. Zajedno se suočavaju s nizom zlih sila koje prijete njenoj duši. Dok mračna magija i zlokobna stvorenja preplavljuju ovu atmosferičnu priču, Hellboy mora iskoristiti svoje vještine i nadnaravnu snagu kako bi porazio sile tame. Za sve ljubitelje Hellboy stripova i filmova, ova avantura donosi mješavinu horora, akcije i okultnih tema, te vraća omiljenog junaka u novom, mračnijem svjetlu.
