Summer is finally approaching, and teachers and learners everywhere are looking forward to a well-earned break. However, lots of students will be preparing for language exams during this time or will want to catch up on lessons they missed during the pandemic and work on their grammar and vocabulary over the summer. In this blog post, we have collected 5 tips to practise their vocabulary and grammar in an autonomous way, even when we are not around to guide them:

Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol is an interesting cannabinoid in the cannabis world.

I’ve jumped on the crystal train, and for very good reason. The more I’ve learned about their power and how to work with them, the more I notice what a big difference they can truly make. Now, you can’t just get crystals (aka stones) and expect them to work like magic.

You have to tend to your crystals. You have to cleanse them, charge them, and work with them to set your intentions and what you want to manifest from them. You’ll see some crystals have multiple uses, and you should use a crystal with similar properties depending on what your intention is. Essentially, choose crystals that have certain properties pertaining to what you are seeking from the crystal.

So, what to do if your water heater fails? While many people would simply call a plumber and have him or her come out as soon as possible, others will try and work out a fix themselves. While some do have the skills needed to install a heater replacement, most will end up doing quite well with the simple task. Here’s a look at what you can do when your heater fails.

The very first thing that you should do is turn the power off to the water heater. This is often enough to make the tank fill up with warm water and cause the device to fail. If the tank isn’t full, there is no hot water to circulate in the unit. If it’s completely empty, the system will stop circulating hot water. Doing this when your water heater is full of warm water will likely result in your hot water not being heated as much as when only a few gallons are left in the tank. 

A free software system like Ubuntu has many advantages over its closed competitors because it allows all kinds of actions to be carried out with commands. One of them even allows you to fix faulty devices, so with that in mind today you will learn how to repair a damaged or unreadable USB memory using Ubuntu and Gparted.

A partnership between Bethesda ANZ and Melbourne Hot Sauce means a new, real-world hot sauce is soon to be available for Aussies to try. Dubbed ‘Hot Sauce of Oblivion’, this collaborative creation has been made to celebrate the launch of The Elder Scrolls Online’s latest expansion, Blackwood. Blackwood has just launched onto PC with its console release following soon on June 8. The expansion is part of the Gates of Oblivion adventure, where the Daedric Prince of Destruction, Mehrunes Dagon, returns as the great evil. As the Prince of Destruction, he is associated with natural dangers such as fire and earthquakes. I suppose the hot sauce comparison isn’t too far off base then!

Here’s a quite amazing post about writing a book when you are stuck. Obviously the exact, detailed methods described here won’t work for everybody. But this is still a fascinating post to read.

I couldn’t write the book. I had to write the book. Readers had bought the first two of the series on the promise that Kim and Will would get their HEA in book 3, and in the romance world, that promise is the kind you sign in your own blood at a crossroads at midnight. I had to write the book. I couldn’t write the book.

OK, so on to the part you’ve been waiting for: What did I do about it?

I will be very brief. Much more at the linked post:

a) Switch to using a visual mapping strategy for essential plot elements.

Here is the realization that generated:

In recently published findings, research by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has shown a significant reduction in cancer incidents and mortality rates in people that cycle to work.

As the Government continues its efforts to encourage greener transport options following the easing of lockdown restrictions, will a boost in bike sales prove to be the start of a new cycling revolution in the UK?

The research

By comparing census records in England and Wales and data from the Office for National Statistics, the NIHR study revealed a 20 per cent decrease in all causes of death for those who cycle to work as opposed to those who commute using personal vehicles such as cars or motorbikes.

We probably say “stress” a lot. Especially in recent times, what with the pandemic looming over us, coupled with several uncertainties and restrictions. There are actually two types of stress: distress (negative), and eustress (positive). We’ll go into a brief overview of stress later on, but suffice it to say that stress, or distress specifically, can lead to a host of mental and physical health conditions, as the immune system can weaken when we experience negative emotions. Therefore, it’s imperative that we handle or manage stress properly, so that we can remain happily functional and healthy as well. Recently, I’ve been trying out colouring, and this is me sharing my colouring experience with you in regards to stress relief!

You don’t have to completely renovate a room to give it a new, updated look. Using certain accessories can help you accent the beauty of any room in your home. No matter what style you prefer, the following accessories can help you achieve it.

Rugs

Rugs are a multipurpose accessory that can completely change the feel of any space. You can use accent rugs to add pops of color to a room, or you can add a runner to a hallway to give it a more comfortable feel. You can choose thick, plush rugs if you want an inviting vibe or choose easier-to-clean varieties for rooms that get a ton of use.

Candles

The Danes are known for a concept called hygge. While not translatable to the English language, it is a word that encompasses their idea of comfort and coziness. Candles are a huge part of how the Danes achieve this.
