![]() At the end of the story, Frog and Toad’s altruism has amounted to nothing more than the feeling they each got from it. Its mirrored structure is simple yet ingenious: the gust of wind disrupts the course of what might have been a more traditional and didactic children’s tale about two friends who benefit from mutual gestures of kindness. This story, called “The Surprise,” appears in “ Frog and Toad All Year,” an illustrated book of children’s stories by Arnold Lobel that was first published in 1976. ![]() But Frog and Toad both feel satisfied believing that they have done the other a good turn. Neither has any way of knowing of the other’s helpful act, and neither knows that his own helpful act has been erased. But, unbeknown to either of them, after the raking is done and as they are walking back to their respective homes, a wind comes and undoes all of their hard work, leaving their yards as leaf-strewn as they were at the beginning. The frog and toad (conveniently named Frog and Toad) see each other every day, and are particularly synchronized: rather than clean his own yard, each decides to go to the other’s house to rake up the leaves there as a kind surprise for his friend. On a cool autumn day, a frog and a toad awake in their separate houses to find that their yards are filled with fallen leaves.

![]() We prefer it over the bottom-firing speakers on the iPhone XS or the Note 9, because half the sound is usually directed away. The Pixel 3 XL sounds richer and more robust than its predecessor, and it easily got loud enough to fill a room. Google said the speakers are 40-percent louder than last year’s Pixel 2, and the difference is noticeable. The great screen and speakers make watching movies and videos on the Pixel 3 XL a joy.ĭual front-facing speakers return, which is why there’s a chin (the bezel below the screen) on the front. The screen delivers deep black levels, which helps the colors pop out even more. Colors are vibrant, and there’s an option to tone down the saturation in the display settings if it’s too much for you. Otherwise, the screen has a sharp 2,960 x 1,440 resolution, and it’s bright enough to see in direct sunlight outdoors (though you’ll need to max the brightness). We’ll be keeping an eye on this to see if it develops into an actual problem, but there’s nothing to worry about with the screen on the Pixel 3 XL. We thought the Pixel 2 XL problems were overblown, and we believe that to be the case here (we’ve seen this in other smartphones before, including those from Samsung). In fact, we are certain most users won’t even notice - you have to really look hard for it. This is something we never would have noticed if we hadn’t seen reports of it online. With the Pixel 3 XL, we do see a very faint line of screen burn-in at the top of the screen surrounding the notch. ![]() Last year’s Google Pixel 2 XL suffered some issues with its screen, as some owners complained about a blue tint issue, as well as some other quality control problems. Great display, speakers, and included USB-C earbuds We do love the larger screen real estate, but if you want to comfortably reach all parts of the phone’s screen, you may want to look at the 5.5-inch Pixel 3. We frequently found ourselves repositioning the phone up and down in our hand, in order to access the top or bottom part of the screen. Like most big phones, the Pixel 3 XL can be a little unwieldy to manage with one hand - even for someone with large hands. You can also swipe up and down on it to access the notification shade, which helps with usability on such a large-screen phone. The fingerprint sensor on the back is in a good position, and it’s fast to react. The Pixel 3 XL feels far more high-end than the Pixel 2 XL, but it’s still not as alluring as Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 or the iPhone XS. We have read complaints about the back being easily scratched up, but we haven’t seen this on our unit. Google managed to matte out the entire surface, so it’s not as slippery as other phones and hides fingerprints, which is a frequent complaint we have for all-glass phones. Google is sticking with the two-tone look, but instead of mixing glass and metal, it’s all glass on the rear. It juts into the screen way too much and looks distracting. The only design difference this year is the massive notch on the top-front of the Pixel 3 XL, whereas the smaller Pixel 3 opts for chunky bezels around the screen. The larger form-factor also allows for a larger battery. The Pixel 3 XL has a larger screen - 6.3 inches versus the Pixel 3’s 5.5 inches - offering space for more pixels. But, physically, the phones aren’t identical, of course. It means you don’t need to sacrifice features over which model you choose. The Pixel 3 XL has mostly the same features as the Pixel 3, a strategy Google started with earlier Pixel phones - and one Apple is using for the iPhone XS and XS Max. Looking for the notch-free, smaller Pixel 3? You can read our review here. If you want the best Android experience, this is the best smartphone to buy - just try to ignore the notch. Not to mention it’s one of the best Android phones that will get consistent software updates for quite some time. As a cherry on top, you get a great screen and speakers, good performance, and a stunning camera yet again. You also will not find comparable artificial intelligence features anywhere else. ![]() It has the absolute best software experience on any Android phone, period. Battery life is mediocre, especially when pitted against phones in this price range as well.īut there’s so much else that’s right with the Pixel 3 XL, we are willing to accept these shortcomings. When compared to the rest of the smartphone market, it sticks out like a $900 sore thumb. Google got the design of its new Pixel 3 XL almost right this year, except for the ugly notch on the front of the phone. Google’s Pixel devices often come so close to being the perfect Android phones, but they falter on the same two things: design and battery life.

She guards the Court of Hypnos in the Underworld, alongside the Gods of quietness and forgetfulness. The Greek goddess Aergia (pronounced AIR-gee-a) is the personification of inactivity or slothliness. Overgrown claws are much easier to break, and this is why sloths living in captivity often have damaged or deformed claws! Sloths in captivity often have overgrown nails on their fingers and toes 2- There is a Greek Sloth Goddess In these cases, the underlying bone is the same size, but the fingernail sheath is overgrowing because it isn’t being worn down by climbing as frequently or as intensely as their wild counterparts. In captivity sloths often have overgrown claws which curl painfully into the pads of their hands and feet, making climbing and feeding difficult. A two-fingered sloth with deformed fingers from a previous injury. In the wild, this can put the sloth at a great disadvantage as their claws are vital for life in the canopy. However, the claws will rarely regain their original shape, often growing back deformed. If they get broken or damaged, sloths can actually regrow their claws thanks to their low metabolic rate (in a similar way to when reptiles regrow their limbs). Sloth claws achieve their shape and sharpness by constant use climbing trees. Three-fingered sloth skeleton showing the claws/fingers. These bones are covered by a sheath of the same material that makes up our fingernails and hair (keratin). While sloth claws look like overgrown nails, they are actually formed by elongated and curved distal phalange bones protruding from their limbs. Here we bring you eight surprising things that you (probably) didn’t know about sloths!ġ- Do sloths have nails? Or are their claws made of bone? Because so little is known about sloths (and much of what we do know is admittedly bizarre), people are eager to believe whatever nonsense they hear or read on the internet This ‘fact’ was actually invented in the book ‘A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’ and is definitely not true. You will be surprised to know how much of this information is untrue.įor example, many people believe that the leading cause of death in sloths is when they fall out of the tree after mistaking their own arms for tree branches. What is the skeleton of a Sloth like? What are their claws made of? The internet is full of ‘facts’ about sloths. Unlike other large sloths, which had four fingers including two or three claws, this sloth had five fingers and four claws, evidence of a primitive stage of development, Webb said.8 Facts You (probably) Didn’t Know About Sloths’ anatomy Their findings were published as a 20-page paper in the December issue of the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society of London.Įvidence of similar creatures has been found in South America, which makes researchers suspect that Florida's sloth could have migrated across the Panamanian land bridge. Castor Cartelle, a zoologist from the University of Belo Horizonte in Brazil, and Gerardo De Iuliis, a zoologist from the University of Toronto in Canada, studied the bones for a decade before concluding this was a new, huge find. In 1989, Webb invited two of the world's leading specialists on such animals to examine the bones. Over the years a dozen of the sloths have been found at the same site, some with fully articulated skeletons, Webb said. ![]() The bones were found by a geology student in 1986, in a limestone quarry west of Gainesville. "This is a great, wonderful animal unlike anything in existence, whose huge size is almost reminiscent of the dinosaurs," Webb said. They used enormous claws to strip leaves from branches up to 20 feet long, Webb said, and entwine them in their long tongues. ![]() Beamer denies providing the information to the coaching staff or players but was fined $25,000 by Georgia for his part in the scandal. The accusations came to light in 2016 when Beamer had moved on to an assistant coach position at the University of Georgia. Virginia Tech eventually lost the game 6–3 in overtime after a 0–0 tie in regulation. The information was provided by Demon Deacons radio analyst Tommy Elrod, a former Wake Forest player and assistant coach who was at the center of what became the "Wakeyleaks" scandal. Wilson was subsequently drafted in the first round by the New York Giants.īeamer accepted Wake Forest game plan information prior to Virginia Tech's game against the Demon Deacons in 2014. In his first year, he coached the school's single season rushing record holder, All-American and ACC Player of the Year, David Wilson. Virginia Tech īeamer joined his father in Blacksburg in 2011 as the running backs coach. Both the 20 recruiting classes ranked in the top 25 and included future South Carolina stars and NFL players Marcus Lattimore and Connor Shaw. The 2009 class was ranked 12th best in the nation by and and included future NFL Draft picks Stephon Gillmore and Alshon Jeffery. In his final two years in Columbia, Beamer also served as the recruiting coordinator for the Gamecocks. His 2009 special teams unit blocked five kicks, tying for the SEC lead and ranking eighth in the nation, while the Gamecock defensive unit finished third in the SEC in total defense and fifteenth in the nation. In 2008, the Gamecock defense finished 2nd in pass defense and 13th in total defense nationally. In 2007, Shane was hired by Steve Spurrier at the University of South Carolina to coach outside linebackers and to serve as the special teams coordinator. In 2006, he assumed the role of recruiting coordinator and brought in a class that included Anthony Dixon, who would go on to play for the San Francisco 49ers and the Buffalo Bills. In 2004, Beamer was hired by Sylvester Croom at Mississippi State to coach cornerbacks, three of whom earned All-SEC Freshmen honors. Tennessee įrom 2001 - 2003, Shane served as a graduate assistant under Phillip Fulmer at the University of Tennessee. Beamer's team was scheduled to play against his father in the 2000 Black Coaches Association Classic to open the season, but the game was canceled because of lightning and Georgia Tech refused to reschedule it. Coaching career Georgia Tech įollowing Beamer's playing career, he became a graduate assistant at Georgia Tech under George O'Leary. Later, he moved to long snapper, the position he played during the Hokies' 1999 season, in which they played for the national championship. College playing career īeamer chose to walk on as a wide receiver at Virginia Tech over an offer of a partial scholarship from Division I-AA Charleston Southern. He and his wife Emily have three children. He attended Blacksburg High School where he lettered in both football and baseball, was first-team Group AA all-state receiver, and played in the 1995 Virginia high school all-star football game. In 1987 his father was named head coach of Virginia Tech, and the family moved to Blacksburg, Virginia. Beamer was born on Main Charleston, South Carolina to Cheryl (nee Oakley) and Frank Beamer, at the time defensive line coach for the Citadel Bulldogs. ![]() Gorbach may be the weaker stylist, at times insightful while at other times too reliant on academic jargon and theory, but his is the deeper dive, and he comes up with a surprising amount of fresh material on Hecht’s activism.īy focusing on his politics, both biographies create a richer portrait, yet still struggle to fully explain Hecht. “Action - Not Pity Can Save Millions Now!” was a typical headline. In order to make an end-run around the political and media establishment and bring the story directly to the American people, the Bergson group bought full-page ads in major newspapers, usually written by Hecht himself. These were, Gorbach says, “the only substantive coverage” of the Holocaust “to appear in mass-circulation magazines.” “That’s what we need,” Groucho wrote, “a little more belligerency, professor, and not quite so much cringing.”) Hecht also wrote a long exposé in The American Mercury called “The Extermination of the Jews,” later excerpted in Reader’s Digest. (His friend Groucho Marx congratulated him after one particularly angry screed. Hecht wrote furious columns for the short-lived liberal newspaper PM, excoriating the passivity of American Jews. Jewish-owned newspapers like The New York Times and The Washington Post agreed, burying news of Hitler’s Final Solution. Their efforts were fought not only by Roosevelt and the State Department, but also by establishment Jewish groups, fearful that Judaizing the war would trigger more anti-Semitism. Later, galvanized by news of the mass exterminations taking place in Europe, the team mounted a bold campaign to pressure the United States government to make the rescue of European Jewry a wartime priority. She describes Hecht’s awkward lunch at the “21” Club in New York with a young Irgunist, a Palestinian Jew named Peter Bergson, who persuaded Hecht to help him create a Jewish army to fight against Hitler. What follows is a brisk, readable tour through Hecht’s wartime alliance with the right wing of the Zionist movement - the Revisionists led by Ze’ev Jabotinsky - and his support for the Irgun, their clandestine paramilitary affiliate, led by Jabotinsky’s young lieutenant Menachem Begin. Jean-Luc Godard said “he invented 80 percent of what is used in Hollywood movies today.” ![]() He helped establish the ground rules for entire genres, including the gangster film, the newspaper picture, the screwball comedy and postwar film noir. Uncredited, he script-doctored countless others, including “Stagecoach,” “Gone With the Wind,” “A Star Is Born” (1937) and “Roman Holiday.”Īcross four decades, Hecht worked on about 200 movies. The year was 1927.) “Scarface,” “The Front Page,” “Twentieth Century,” “Design for Living,” “Wuthering Heights,” “His Girl Friday,” “Spellbound,” “Notorious.” And that’s just films with his name on them. (Not his first Academy Award, the first Academy Award ever given for best story. And why wouldn’t they? Consider a few of his credits: “Underworld,” directed by Josef von Sternberg, for which Hecht won the first Academy Award.

Players have a fun time checking answers and the judge keeping score. Each player completes the Scattergories list in their chatbox, and then sends it to the host or to whoever acts as the predetermined judge. Players can play Scattergories on Zoom with one player as host doing a share screen, showing the random letter and 12 categories for which suitable words must be provided. It is possible to play Scattergories Online for free using websites such as Swellgarfo, Catergories and City, Country, River. The online version looks like the following: FREE Websites to play Scattergories This is a great activity to use, even when unprepared. It’s fun to play in normal or online classes. You can let students do it individually, in pairs, or place them in groups. If the student can’t think of a vegetable starting with D, they leave the category blank and continue to the next category, sports, where they can write ‘darts’ or ‘diving’. The names could be donkey, dove, or dolphin in category one, where students have to decide if birds and fish are animals. For example if the random letter is “D”, students must write down words starting with D next to each of the categories, which could be “types of animals kinds of vegetables kinds of sport” etc. Players then have 3 minutes to write unique answers to each category starting with the chosen letter. In Scattergories, the websites picks a random letter and 12 categories. |
