![]() The house gets trashed, you feed your kids, they finally go to bed (after a loooong bedtime routine), and you feel both completely exhausted AND like you accomplished nothing. ![]() Like you’re in a time loop a la Bill Murray in Groundhog’s Day. Don’t throw all routines and rules out the window but be prepared to adapt and-most importantly-be kind to yourself.When you’re at home with kids, everyday can start to feel the same. Your kid has a hankering for Rice Krispies squares.on a Tuesday? Check out these easy baking recipes for kids. Got a conference call in the afternoon? Forget the playdough making you had planned, and cue up an online story time for your mini instead. Think: virtual field trips, crafts for toddlers, STEM activities for kids or brain-busting puzzles. When your kid’s virtual playdate gets canceled or you have an unexpected work call, have a few things to do in your back pocket that you can whip out at a moment’s notice to keep your kid occupied. Have a couple of back-up activities ready to go.To feel better about it, stream some educational shows for your kids (like Sesame Street or Wild Kratts) and set reasonable limits. These are strange times and relying more on screens right now is to be expected ( even the American Academy of Pediatrics says so). “They can be changed around as needed, but the visual is a great reminder for children and helps them be more independent.” (Tip: A drawing or printed photo from the internet will work, too.) “Take photos of each activity of the day, label the photos and put them in the order of the day,” suggests Robertson. If your kids are too young to read a schedule, rely on images instead. “A good breakfast activity would be reviewing the schedules and moving things around so schedules match up,” advises Robertson. Does your daughter get antsy sitting down for too long? Schedule a five-minute stretch break at the end of every activity-or better yet, make it a family affair. ![]() But otherwsie, let your children have a say in how their days are structured. Some to-dos are non-negotiable (like tidying up her toys or doing his math homework). Your son misses his friends and wants to FaceTime with them instead of doing crafts? Give the kid a break.) “Your schedule doesn’t have to be rigid, but it should be consistent and predictable,” says Robertson. (Toddler on a nap strike? Move on to the next activity. Use them as a starting point to plan an itinerary that works for your family. “Routines and schedules help us all when we know generally what to expect, what happens next and what is expected of us.”īut before you roll your eyes at another color-coded, Insta-COVID-perfect schedule that accounts for every minute of your mini’s day (including a back-up plan for inclement weather), keep in mind that these are sample schedules created by real moms. “Young children get comfort and security from a predictable routine,” Bright Horizons’ vice president of education and development Rachel Robertson tells us. So what can you do to reign in the mayhem? Create a daily schedule for kids to help give them some structure. Add in the fact that so many of us are juggling childcare with working from home and days can quickly spiral into chaos. This would be a challenge under normal circumstances, but it’s even more difficult now that the usual go-tos-parks, playgrounds and playdates-are out of the picture. In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, schools and childcare providers across the country have ceased operations, leaving many parents wondering just what the hell to do with their kids all day long. ![]()

![]() It inhabits moist woodlands in the warm habitats of Central America. Reaching a size of around 4 inches, this species is found in tropical and subtropical forests. While they have a darker yellow color, they still lack the orange head of the males as they have yellow crowns. Yellow and black color patterns dominate the appearance of females. This is a species with a black upper chest, a black face, and black wings. Spot-breasted Oriole Spot-breasted OrioleĪ bright orange head and bright orange underbellies are seen on male Spot-breasted Orioles (Icterus pectoralis). Much of their lives are unknown to humans due to their remote living areas and due to their solitary habits. Their presence is high in areas of Mexico along rivers and streams. The living area of these birds includes areas around water in almost arid territories. Juveniles of the species have a similar color pattern but they are mostly yellow before becoming orange. When they reach adulthood, Altamira Orioles also show a black face and a black bill. They also have a dark orange body and contrasting black and white wings. Altamira Oriole Altamira OrioleĪ colorful head is characteristic of the Altamira Orioles (Icterus gularis). It also has a migratory status in The Iberian Peninsula in Europe.ĭistribution – North America, Europe, Asia Some of the parts of the world it migrates towards include Eastern North America from The Rockies to The Atlantic. The species is partially migratory across the world. The name of these birds is inspired by their crossed bill shape, an adaptation towards easier feeding. These birds have continuous orange coloring from their heads to their underbellies.įemales of the species are also colorful but dominated by yellow with additional white and gray contrasting areas. Rusty orange heads are characteristic of the male Red Crossbills (Loxia curvirostra). These hummingbirds eat both insects and plant nectar.ĭistribution – Northwestern North America, Gulf of Mexico, Central America For example, the migration process is started by males which move out first. The differences between the males and females of the species are further visible in their habits. However, most female Rufous Hummingbirds have a base brown color and a green crown. This is a type of iridescent orange color that may sometimes be spotted on some females as well. Rufous Hummingbird Rufous HummingbirdĪn orange head and a brown crown are characteristic of the male Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) in its breeding season. Their diet includes large fruit such as oranges. ![]() They eat small insects and a wide range of fruit. This species has a vivid orange head with a black crown and an orange-black color combination across its body.įemales are brighter, dominated by a white chest and underbelly with a yellow back and head.īullock’s Orioles are present in a wider Western territory across North America compared to Hooded Orioles as they even breed in Canadian territories as well as along The Rockies.īirds of this species have a diverse diet, specific to orioles. Bullock’s Oriole Bullock’s OrioleĪ darker orange nuance (compared to Hooded Orioles) is specific to the male Bullock’s Oriole (Icterus bullockii) head. Some of the best times to see these birds include the period between the beginning of spring to August.ĭistribution – Southern California, Rio Grande Valley Texas, Southern Arizona, Mexico They eat all types of insects but may also pick fruit from unusual positions such as when hanging upside down. Sometimes seen in North America, these colorful birds are acrobatic omnivores. They also exhibit darker wings but lack the orange nuance seen in males. The orange coloring is further seen on the chest and underbelly.įemales of the species are dominated by olive or olive-yellow colors. Its head can be bright orange or dark orange, with a black contrasting face and bill. ![]() Hooded Oriole Hooded OrioleĪn orange head of various shades is characteristic of The Hooded Oriole (Icterus cucullatus) male. ![]() Some of these groups may reach Mexico to overwinter before making their way back North.ĭistribution – Western North America, Central America Western Tanager females are marked by an olive color and dark gray wings with white marks.īreeding in North America along The Rocky Mountains, Western Tanagers may also migrate, typically in very small groups. Males also exhibit yellow marks across the wings. ![]() A colorful orange head inspires the name of The Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana), together with its North American range.īright orange heads are specific to males of the species which are contrasted by yellow chests and belies and by black wings. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Overtake events are when u have to go against very slow ai cars which aren't racing, the point is to overtake as many of them and meanwhile score points, the points at the top are going up after an overtake and always getting smaller and smaller if ur not overtaking, a scale from 100 to 1000. Touge is usually on tight tracks around cliffs same with faceoff. Lot of Games modes more than Grid Autosport! It has modes like Touge (i cant pronounce that yet by the way :D) Overtake, and face off.Now personally Touge is my favourite and prefer it over faceoff because u dont need to complete the full race if u pull away 5 seconds or drop back 5 seconds behind ur rival of course if u drop u lose lol.

From here, I just inverted the color and maximized the saturation and value of the color to make it as bright as possible. If I was analyzing multiple maps, I computed the colors for every map, then averaged all of those averages together (this makes sure that each map equally contributes to the average "game color"). This color was then collected for every frame in the map and averaged to get the overall "color of the map". From there I used OpenCV to load each video frame by frame, then used PIL and K-Means to extract the dominant color from a specific cropped section of the image (usually a square crop around the center of the image). I collected the videos by running around in customs without a crosshair and recording the video with OBS you could get colors from game files but I'm not nearly that smart. Long story short, it's a bunch of OpenCV, PIL, and NumPy thrown together in an abomination to all software engineering. Ok, a bit of a crash course in how I actually wrote this script. The data I gathered was pretty sparse and it'd be interesting to see how these choices fare when considering smokes/util/etc., but I digress.Įnd of the day I may still suck at this game, but it's not because my crosshair is bad. ![]() In any case, the crosshair colors I found work well enough, so it'd be cool to see if anyone else can find a better solution based on this. However, the blue trend is enough to noticeably shift the overall color to a sky blue, which is cool to see. Icebox and Pearl are the only real exceptions to this rule, using bright yellows/reds respectively. There's a couple of interesting patterns here Cyan/Blue is a very common choice of color, especially for Ascent, Bind, Breeze, Fracture, and Haven. ![]() Split: may or may not have gotten too lazy to collect data here Too many custom games and a quick Python script later, I came up with a list of crosshair colors that contrasted as much as possible with each map, as well as an overall crosshair color that attempts to work for every map. So instead of playing the game and finding my preferences like a normal person, I recorded myself in customs looking at every angle I could think of on every map (except Split RIP) and wrote a Python script to look through that video find the best crosshair color for me. When Patch 5.04 dropped and crosshair craziness happened, I decided to try and find the best possible crosshair color in Valorant based on video from actual Valorant gameplay. ![]() ![]() ![]() The time would advance from 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 of the next day, skipping 23:59:59. However, it has both a time error and a frequency error with respect to legal UTC time during the adjustment period, which often extends for several hours.Īlthough negative leap seconds have never been used, the realization of a negative leap second is simpler in principle. This has the advantage that the clock never stops or appears to run backward. That is, the time tag associated with the leap second is 00:00:00 of the next day.Ģ) Some systems implement the leap second by a frequency adjustment that smears the leap second out over some longer interval either before or after the event. This has the same ambiguity problem of the NIST standard method, and also puts the extra second in the wrong day. There are other ways of realizing the leap second:ġ) Some systems implement the leap second by repeating second 0 of the next day instead of second 23:59:59 of the leap second day. A calculation of a time interval across the leap second has a similar ambiguity. It can be difficult to establish the time-ordering of events in the vicinity of a leap second, since the time 23:59:59.2 in the leap second occurred after 23:59:59.5 in the first second with that name. The time tag corresponding to23:59:59 is therefore ambiguous, since two consecutive seconds have that name. That is, they repeat the binary time equivalent of 23:59:59 twice, and the next second is second 0 of the following day. The NIST time servers add the extra leap second by stopping the clock for one second at 23:59:59. The name of a positive leap second is 23:59:60, but digital time formats, which represent the current time as the number of seconds that have elapsed since some origin (NTP, for example), cannot represent that time. The Internet Time Service and Leap Secondsįor more detailed information about leap seconds, see Leap Seconds FAQs. There are some steps you may have to take when accessing the NIST Internet Time Service through a firewall. Here are the server names, locations, and IP addresses and current status. Other sources of time are not monitored or certified by NIST. NIST operates several stratum-1 network time servers, which means their time is directly linked to UTC(NIST), the official NIST time. This option is different on different versions of the operating system, and you should consult the help messages for the version that you are using. In the settings, you may be allowed to pick which NTP server the time comes from. Mac: Applications > System Preferences > Date & Time You cannot select the time server in the newer versions of Windows. Your system will contact a time server and adjust the system clock, if needed. Windows: Right-click the system clock in the lower right-hand corner of the display and click on the “sync now” button. If you have administrator (or “root”) privileges, you may also set the clock manually at any time, although this is generally not necessary. The process generally does not require any manual intervention. This synchronization process normally starts automatically when the system is bootstrapped and runs in the background. Most operating systems, such as Windows, MacOS, and Linux have an option to automatically synchronize the system clock periodically by sending queries to an NTP (network time protocol) server. You may also get client software and documentation for many operating systems from the Network Time Foundation at Manually setting the system clock: There are a number of third-party programs that can access this site from a Windows system.
