  1. Abecedarian updating materials, adding in more Kilpatrick PA things. http://www.abcdrp.com
  2. I have one but haven't updated for months. The way I make my videos takes a lot of time, I make slides first and do some animations. ThePhonicsPage
  3. The Bradykinin storm is interesting. From the supercomputer Bradykinin article, "Vitamin D as a potentially useful Covid-19 drug." "If indeed the vitamin proves effective at reducing the severity of bradykinin storms, it could be an easy, relatively safe way to reduce the severity of the virus."

  5. Here is one for $153.00, much cheaper than $10K fridge or a new house. https://www.amazon.com/BOSALY-Machine-Electric-Perfect-Kitchen/dp/B088LYGYS5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1TVZ1EYYXR7LB&dchild=1&keywords=ice+makers+countertop&qid=1598773277&sprefix=ice+maker%2Caps%2C239&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyOVVUODBSRzdOUktQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTA0NDMwRkg1T1JJSjQ1WjIxJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxNjEzNjcxMVFWWlBNQVo0RTFNJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== This one looks serious, still cheaper than $10K: https://www.amazon.com/GE-Profile-Countertop-Nugget-Maker/dp/B07YF9SGBW/ref=sr_1_8?crid=2V2H79OXOEAE2&dchild=1&keywords=ice+makers+countertop+shaved+ice&qid=1598773518&sprefix=ice+makers+countertop+shaved%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-8
  6. They are all online, also the anti-federalists are online, the anti-federalist papers are even more relevant and interesting than the federalist papers. I have a book I like with both, but they are all online: https://www.amazon.com/American-Constitution-Against-Federalist-Anti-Federalist/dp/0809001691/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=pole+federalist+antifederalist&qid=1598156193&sr=8-5
  7. If you oil them after, they are already beyond fixing, they will still pull, we learned that the hard way. You need to oil from day 1.
  8. Even a good clipper set can start pulling if you don't oil it regularly, you need to use a tiny bit of oil after every cut; good practice whatever you get, applies to Flowbee as well.
  9. My son hates going to the barber. We got him a Flowbee several Christmases ago, it actually works very well and no mess, much easier to cut longer hair with than clippers. My husband just uses $20 clippers, he cuts it all off every few weeks. We were prepared for pandemic haircuts!! We've had people half jokingly want to borrow the Flow Bee. They are out of stock new but there are several on eBay.
  10. There might be more you can do in Google classroom? You could try that out with a few test subjects. Jamboard? It is interactive for Google classroom, I think, I don't know if it works with Zoom, here is an article about it with Zoom: https://help.lsit.ucsb.edu/hc/en-us/articles/360044724291-Best-Practice-Collaborative-Whiteboard-using-Zoom-and-Jamboard It looks like Jamboard is more integrated and easier to use with Google Classroom.
  11. It is that high in very crowded situations. Cruise ships are actually more spread out. High in prisons, meatpacking plants, etc. In normal conditions, the number is looking smaller. They're actually also not sure if T cell immunity means very mild case or asymptomatic case or not infected, from what I can tell.
  12. My daughter's college is doing the same. It makes sense--they want everyone that travels to stay home, that would be a lot of mixing to fly/drive home and then come back for just a bit, but some people will need to stay on campus for various reasons, so they keep it open, they can go virtual from their dorm. The fly drive home back after 1st semester will likely cause a bit of a spike, but at least they won't be having that twice.
  13. I also have a video playlist of reading in the brain, mostly Dehaene but a few others. His hour long video, #2 in the playlist, is especially fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYZBi_07vk&list=PLJLxBWdK_5l1u9v4FTXD3CXgCBIGeSZpM
  14. Dehaene's book "Reading in the Brain" was fascinating. He has a bunch of articles, #71 Illiterate to Literate is one that applies. https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/matt.davis/cmabridge/
  15. Here is one link, there are several others, I can't find the best one now, I didn't bookmark them. https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/matt.davis/cmabridge/
  16. Yes, it is an oversimplification. It doesn't work with shorter words because there are too many possibilities, and only certain letter swaps work in longer words.
  17. I can't find the explanation, there is one other there, but it's not really whole word reading...we do, like Dehaene and other researchers have found, process every letter and letter team, just very fast; they are processed in the same area of the brain as spoken language is processed. It only works with certain letter swaps in certain length of words, and not shape, but letter swaps in certain positions, and it can't be too many letter swaps, it's quite small the cases it will work for.
  18. I have a recipe for most stains that is hand dishwashing soap, a bit of water, baking soda. Vinegar might be better for paint, you could follow vinegar with my recipe. My recipe works best for lighter carpets, you wouldn't want to use too much baking soda on a darker carpet. Works better than anything you can buy and more environmentally friendly than chemicals for most stains. If the paint is just on the top and you can't get it out and it's a bunch of small spots, you can trim the carpet a bit with scissors, cutting off the paint top of the carpet "hairs" and then fluff, usually paint just gets on the top part of the carpet "hair." This won't work for a large single spot, not enough left to fluff around.
  19. Most online things encourage guessing, which is a balanced literacy habit. There is Read, Write, Type which is good but just the basics of phonics and spelling. https://www.talkingfingers.com/read-write-type/ I would suggest my syllables lessons, designed for a child her age and older that has been taught poorly, free, videos make it easy to teach. http://www.thephonicspage.org/On Reading/syllablesspellsu.html My phonics concentration game is a fun way to practice: http://www.thephonicspage.org/On Phonics/concentrationgam.html This article explains what is being taught in schools and how it promotes guessing: https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-how-schools-teach-reading I have an article about how to combat guessing habits and other things besides my program that work for older students: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/building-good-reading-habits-liz-brown/
  20. There is likely less obesity and diabetes in most of Africa, also probably outside more getting vitamin D. It is interesting, though.
  21. Yes, COVD. Screen for everything while you're there, there are a lot of different things besides tracking and convergence, but those are most common.
  22. Barry Garrelick just did a video about some of the downfalls of this called "misunderstanding about understanding." https://researchedus2020.wordpress.com/2020/08/11/evidence-supported-instructional-practices-misunderstandings-about-understanding/
  23. Not many: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/words-that-start-with-anti
  24. You did make me curious, though, and so I'm looking into it...there are often actually reasons and patterns for these type of things.
