![]() ![]() ![]() If you're also in the mood for more on Perfect Dark and Rare, be sure to read our piece on why it's a good time for a Perfect Dark revival and our new interview with former Rare composers David Wise and Grant Kirkhope. The entire oral history is a great read if you're at all interested in Rare, the Nintendo 64, and what it was like trying to get out from under the shadow of James Bond. It was like, yep, I am minimally offended by that choice. And then eventually it was like, yeah, some pun on Joan of Arc. "The name was a massive stickler," according to Duncan Botwood, game designer. A fine name, ultimately, but one that's also the product of a prolonged and arduous process. The test of a name was, if you printed it out on a piece of paper and stuck it to the wall and you didn't hate it in two days' time, then maybe that was okay."ĭoak is also credited with coming up with Joanna Dark's name, a cross-lingual pun ("perhaps the most painful possible," says Hollis) on Joan of Arc, nee Jeanne d'Arc in French. Perfect Dark: Sources Falcon 2 - A pistol based on the design of a Colt 1911 and a HK USP Joanna Darks signature weapon. It had a database of 200 words, and it just used to run and spit out names.

The ' dark ' continent, the source of slaves and tribes and beasts and jungles. Originally developed under the name Covert Ops, and then Alien Intelligence, the process that led to "Perfect Dark" eventually turned to the help of randomness. There's also a handful of very relatable stories about how hard it is to settle on a name for, well, just about anything. There's talk of the pressures of following up GoldenEye 007, of ubiquitous overtime before "crunch" entered the gaming vernacular, and the decision by some team members (Doak included) to leave and form Free Radical. In a new oral history compiled for Perfect Dark's 20th anniversary, Lead Designer David Doak recounts how Rare actually arrived at the name for its lauded FPS game: a "hilarious" process involving a name generator.ĭoak and several other key figures from Rare's Perfect Dark team spoke with our sister site Eurogamer for this new look at the game's storied development. According to a recent report from VGC, there are more than 20 Nintendo 64 games that modders are working to bring to PC. No word yet on platforms of a release date for the new Perfect Dark, although The Initiative say it’s still “early in development," so we'll probably be waiting for a while yet.Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email in a name? In the case of Perfect Dark, it's explained to be protagonist Joanna Dark's code name, but it seems that that was something of a retroactive justification. With the full backing from Xbox Studios to re-imagine one of the best loved IPs from gaming history, we couldn’t be more excited to share some of our early ideas.We’re working hard to deliver on the promise of the next generation of game making. We have built the Perfect Dark team at The Initiative by bringing in some of the most talented game makers from around the industry who all share a passion for storytelling, world-building and creating memorable game experiences. With Perfect Dark, we’re aiming to deliver a secret agent thriller set in a near-future world. Two years ago, we announced the formation of a new Xbox Game studio in Santa Monica, The Initiative, and today at The Game Awards, we announced our first project, Perfect Dark. Its clear that this Earth is the same as those in the Justice League have found themselves trapped in. Finally, here's what The Initiative head honcho Darell Gallagher had to say about the new project. Perfect Dark Source is a Half Life 2 modification that recreates the Nintendo 64 game Perfect Dark. Tim Drake, Conner Kent and Bart Allen all disappeared in the last issue, and Dark Crisis: Young Justice 2 (by Meghan Fitzmartin, Laura Braga, Luis Guerrero and Pat Brosseau) shows them diving deeper into the world they found themselves in.

Everyone has their strengths and their weaknesses: for me, artwork and movement were strengths, while speaking to others using words was a weakness. I felt comfortable drawing out my thoughts and feelings, instead of verbalizing them, so I’d often draw out storyboards-sometimes eight pages long-to explain to my parents or teachers what it was that I wanted. It felt so much more natural to express my- self that way. Words didn’t come to me as a child, so I used my body to communicate. For entertainment I had only nature-bird-watching and berry picking and, best of all, stargazing.įor as long as I can remember, language has been a struggle for me. ![]() My whole childhood I knew nothing of shopping malls or (gasp!) the internet. I didn’t have dogs or cats as pets, instead I had baby tigers and monkeys as close friends. I mean, can you even? Picture this: baby Lele running barefoot through cornfields miles and miles away from civilization. I was born in Caracas, a major city in Venezuela, but quickly moved to the countryside where I-get this-lived in a barn. Of course, part of your essence comes into this world with you at birth, but it’s really what happens next that starts to shape you into you. So I shall now tell you how I came to be truly Lele, a person I love for better or for worse. My point is: I believe that YOU-ness is something very special, no matter who you are, and it ought to be celebrated. Of course, you wouldn’t call it Lele-ness, you would call it Sara-ness or Jason-ness, or whatever your name might be. Ancient Greek philosophers would refer to this as the “soul”-but I am not an ancient Greek philosopher, I am a teenage girl, and so I will call it Lele-ness. See, every human being (and most animals, I find) have their own unique essence, an essence comprised of deeply rooted qualities that make them who they are. Before I tell you the story of how I vowed to survive high school, I’d like to talk about something near and dear to my heart.

If a spillage has dried and hardened, it is possible to remove it from a Granite or Quartz worktop, even if it is something extremely stubborn like grease or chewing gum. Then all you need to do is wipe away any residue with warm water and mild soap, and your worktop should be as good as new! The baking soda paste and the stain should hopefully lift with it. Once the cloth has dried completely, lift it up. If you do encounter a stubborn stain, consider using baking soda as a gentler alternative.īy mixing baking soda with water, you can make a thick paste, which can be applied directly to the stain using a soft cloth. The surface will be eaten away, ruining the appearance of your worktop and reducing its value when you come to sell your home.Įven natural cleaners like vinegar or lemon can be too harsh to use on Quartz or Granite, as they are highly acidic, so they could damage the surface. As these are natural stone surfaces, they can be damaged by bleach and similar cleaning chemicals, which are highly corrosive. Soak up as much of the spillage as you can with a clean sponge, soft cloth or paper towel, and wipe clean.īleach and other harsh chemicals regularly used in household cleaning products should never be used on a Quartz or Granite worktop. ![]() It’s particularly crucial if the substance which has been spilled has high colour and staining properties, such as tea, coffee or red wine. This is why any spillages should be cleared up straight away as soon as they happen. While Quartz and sealed Granite are non-porous, they can still stain if food or liquids are spilled on them, and the stains can be difficult to remove. Be sure to rinse off any residue thoroughly, so your worktop maintains its shine. Warm water with a small amount of a non-abrasive cleaner such as regular dish soap should be enough to keep your worktop clean and fresh-looking, providing it has no stubborn stains. Use a clean, soft cloth with no rough areas that could scratch the surface. Your Quartz or sealed Granite worktop should be wiped down at least once every day if you want to keep it looking its best. This is the only way to ensure it will stay clean and free of stains and germs with appropriate care. Granite, on the other hand, can absorb moisture, so it should always be sealed before being used as a kitchen worktop. Quartz is a non-porous material, so it doesn’t absorb moisture. ![]() Here are some essential cleaning tips to keep your Quartz or Granite worktop looking as fresh as the day it was installed.

Regardless of the material, wiper blades leave residue on the windshield silicone is inherently hydrophobic, which should help water bead off your windshield. The material is much more resilient to the elements, performing better and lasting longer. While the blades on some wipers are rubber, silicone wipers are vastly superior. Along with better performance, the beam design isn’t as vulnerable to the elements in winter and allows for an aerofoil to stop the wiper from lifting off the windshield in heavy gusts. These levers push the wiper onto the windshield, often leading to streaking where they meet together.īeam-style: While frame-style wiper blades have a series of levers, these newer blades use a steel beam that runs the length of the wiper to provide consistent contact.

Third, students meet the communicative demands of different interactions. Second, students use a range of registers, from everyday registers in conversations with peers to specialized registers in more formal presentations. Modalities, or the diverse channels through which communication occurs, include both linguistic modalities of talk and text as well as visual modalities like gestures, drawings, graphs, symbols, and tables. First, students use multiple modalities in increasingly strategic ways. Third, students’ learning builds over the year as the unit design scaffolds their learning over time.įrom a language perspective, the SAIL curriculum focuses on three key aspects of language use in the science classroom. Second, students engage in three-dimensional learning, as each lesson includes science and engineering practices (SEPs), crosscutting concepts (CCCs), and disciplinary core ideas (DCIs). Students’ interest in local phenomena sustains their engagement over a unit. As students use science knowledge to make sense of phenomena and figure out answers to questions, they experience the work of scientists and engineers and have a purpose for learning science. First, students explain phenomena (science) and design solutions to problems (engineering). From a science perspective, the SAIL curriculum leverages three design principles. Our conceptual framework (fully described in Lee et al., 2019) includes science and language design principles. Now, after five years of iterative cycles of field-testing and revising, the full fifth-grade curriculum is available for free download here. Our curriculum was aimed at engaging all students, and ELs in particular, in three-dimensional learning to explain local phenomena. In 2015, a team of researchers, teachers, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) writers, science content experts, and applied linguists began designing a yearlong, fifth-grade, NGSS-aligned science curriculum. In this excerpt, our fifth-grade English learners (ELs) are developing a model to explain how the hydrosphere interacts with the geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere in order to answer the driving question of the unit, “Why does it matter if I drink tap water or bottled water?” How does this engagement in sense-making and purposeful classroom talk happen?
