Marcus Hummings, interim executive director of HU Counseling Services, said that, “With global issues, with current political issues, with current societal issues in this country and from recent events on this campus, everybody’s focus on mental health is becoming more and more important.”ĭue to heightened focus on mental health, there is a severe imbalance of access to social workers, counselors and therapists because of the number of people reaching out to them at once. The heightened state that this country is in feels like we’re always on the verge of having a civil war, civil unrest,” Willis said.ĭr. “You got to campus this year you had a cyber-attack, you had an insurrection last year, now we have repetitive bomb threats. In addition to the COVID-19 environment, students on campus have been experiencing numerous other stress-inducing occurrences.

The sound from the audio source behaves accordingly to how you set the graph of roll offs. The further away from the audio source you go, the less you can hear it. The sound is loud when you are close to the audio source, but when you get away from the object it decreases significantly fast. The higher the value, the closer the Listener has to be before hearing the sound. Beyond this point it will stay at the volume it would be at MaxDistance units from the listener and will not attenuate any more. The distance where the sound stops attenuating at. Increase the MinDistance of a sound to make it ‘louder’ in a 3d world, and decrease it to make it ‘quieter’ in a 3d world. Outside MinDistance it will begin to attenuate.

He's a regular old bookworm who is able to tell if the paper he eats has letters on it and if said letters form words. In Bookworm Adventures, Lex himself speaks in this.Making longer words also causes fire tiles to appear less often. ![]() Words can have up to twelve letters, for the record. The whole point of the game is to get into this way of speaking so as to score higher.Picky Eater: Lex will only choose to eat scraps of paper that have a single word on them.Oh, Crap!: If a fire tile reaches the very bottom of the board (meaning you have only one chance to remove it, or it will end the game), Lex will say something like "Careful!", or "Watch out!", while sweating profusely with an extremely worried expression on his face.When you get past level 10, it's not uncommon to get bombarded with fire tiles if you make so much as two three-letter-words. Numerical Hard: Fire tiles spawn much more liberally as the game progresses.Lex -> Lexicography -> Dictionaries -> Words The premise of the game is to feed Lex by creating words with the tiles given to you. Literal Bookworm: We have the titular bookworm Lex, who is an intelligent green bookworm with glasses and a red bowtie.Gasshole: Lex will burp if you make a word that contains multiple fire tiles.Endless Game: Like Bejewled, you can be playing for a good while, until you're too late to spell with a fire tile that is.If you're on a very high level, scrambling will sometimes cause the entire top row to turn into fire tiles. However, doing this causes a bunch of fire tiles to appear, and makes existing ones move down. Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Lex can shuffle the entire board if you click on him.Should someone obtain a score higher than the cap ( extremely unlikely), the score would become the opposite of the score i.e. This is because the game cannot correctly interpret numbers higher than that. Cap: According to the PopCap Games website, the largest score attainable in the original PC version is 2,140,000,000.In this game, he's just called "Bookworm". All in the Manual: Subverted, we know Lex's name from Bookworm Adventures.It has been released on several platforms (each version varying in small ways) throughout the years with the latest release on the Nintendo 3DS (2011) and was successful enough to get a Spiritual Successor with Bookworm Adventures. Making small and/or low scoring words causes flaming tiles to appear which if left unused will eventually destroy the board and end the game while making large words causes special, high scoring tiles to appear. The object of the game is to feed Lex the Bookworm by creating words with adjacent tiles on a board, which gives you points based on the length and which letters not unlike Scrabble. Bookworm is a word puzzle game released in 2003 by PopCap Games. ![]() Buyers are responsible for returning the items in their original conditions within 2 weeks of delivery of items at their own expense through registered mails with the online delivery tracking number.ģ.

![]() When you go book shopping, print your list and take it along. Later, you can then type this into a document or spreadsheet that’s easily editable and searchable in the future. Go through your shelves and write down what you own. It’s probably also the most time consuming. This is the most obvious (and old fashioned). If you’re stuck at home right now thanks to Cornanvirus and social distancing recommendations, here’s a task you can take on that will get you organized and might even be fun! There are many options for this task, so I’ve summarized a few for you here. I’m especially guilty of this at the book sale bag day, when they only cost a few cents a piece! Most often, I’m tricked by different editions of the same book. Or I simply forget I have it, and don’t check my list before I buy. Me and Brittany volunteering at the library book sale bag dayįirst of all, I consider my home library finely curated, and I STILL have bought duplicates unintentionally. She asked me to do a post on the topic of cataloging one’s home library to hopefully avoid this in the future. My friend was surprised to discover multiple duplicates among her collection. After our last shift volunteering at the library book sale, she went home to do the first ever cull of her shelves. Pre-2005 bar code and ISBN often do not match – this seems more common with US books than UK ones.Today’s post is coming to you at the request of my bookish friend Brittany. ![]() I have just put over 3500 books from my collection into this and here are a few notes: In many cases, books are double-stacked on the shelves, so you can’t even see them all (and this isn’t even all my piles!): This is a work in progress! Here are some of the piles of books in my house that I need to scan into my Libib library. You can then go to the “tags” tab and add an “ARC” tag, which is a great way to keep track of the ARCs I own. However, to get around that, I can find the ISBN on the ARC and MANUALLY enter it, and the book will pop up in the system. The other thing it won’t do is indicate if a book is an advanced reader’s copy, because ARCs don’t have bar codes. That isn’t ideal for me in terms of book collecting, but it still does the job and includes the book as part of your library. Also, if you have a paperback version of a book that came out in hardback first, when you scan the paperback, it will upload the hardback cover art, not the paperback cover art. I do have some books with old ISBN numbers, and it won’t pick up all of those. I have noticed some limitations to this system, which is that sometimes the bar code just won’t scan. You can also add your own information with the “tags” and “notes” features, review the book, add a rating and lots more! ![]() It automatically adds a cover photo of the book, date of publication, publisher, number of pages, the ISBN number(s) and a description of the book. Now, simply click on the title to see all the information about the book: You can also see the total number of books I’ve entered under the name of my library, “Tammy’s Physical Book Library.” Obviously, I still have lots of books to scan:-D (click on the image to make it larger).Ĥ. It even instantaneously shows up on your computer! Now that I’ve scanned The Time Machines, you can see the computer screen shot below, where the title is now part of my library! You can see it under the letter “T” where it belongs. Once the scanner picks up the bar code, the book is immediately added to your library. |
