The spinner in the middle takes as many entries you have on the left and fits them into different colored pies in the middle. If you enter a new set of names (without resetting the right column), you can continue to fill this one up as much as you like. When it is completely empty, the random name picker will either reset, or you will have to enter more names. You can do this as many times as you have names in the left column. However, if you choose to remove the name from the left column, it will automatically appear in the right one and cease to exist in the left. If you choose not to remove the name after it appears in a wheel spin, then this column will remain empty. The second column features names that have been selected in the spinning process. When you are satisfied with the number of names available to you can move on to the wheel wheel spin part. If you press “spin” on the spinner when the first column is empty, it will automatically reset and you will lose your choices.

Let me share my favorite way of doing this. People often wonder how to explain 3D shapes to kindergarten (especially when they have to be able to tell the difference between 2D and 3D shapes). These 3-d geometric shapes would be fun hanging up by a string as a decoration, too! How to Explain 3D Shapes to Kindergarten By Leslie Simpson About 5 minutes to read this article. To fold this up, you just start folding the triangles and it sort of just bends into the shape. You could probably fit a 2.5 inch one on a paper. The 3d octahedron I made 2 inches per side, but it ended up very small. Six of them are in a row facing opposite directions The other two are hanging off the ends. It is a series of 8 equilateral triangles. How to Make a 3d Octahedron: The octahedron was the trickiest. I made this by cutting into the other parts and removing the sections. ![]() Then one of the sections needs a square cut-out. How to Make a 3d Cuboid: For the cuboid, I divided the paper into fourths. You have to make sure each side of the triangle is equal to the sides of the square. How to Make a 3d Square Based Pyramid: A Square-based Pyramid is started with a square and then triangles coming out from each side. It ended up being 2 3/4 of an inch per side. I measured the sides of my paper sections to make the triangle side the same length. How to Make a 3d Triangular Prism: The Triangular Prism is made by dividing the paper into thirds. Then in the center section you will make your triangular cut-outs. You need four squares going down and three going across. How to Make a 3d Cube: For the 3d cube, you need a cross-like shape with even squares. Wrap it up and add a piece of tape to secure it. How to Make a 3d Cone: For the cone, I traced a large circle, then cut a wedge out of the circle. To make each of these 3d shapes I used an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper to make them. There are 6 common 3d shapes that I am going to teach you about today. I also have printable templates with a few more 3D geometric shapes, if you want a simpler way to make them!

Another document, this time dated 1596, clears up any possibility of there having been both a Robin Hood’s Well and a St Ann’s Well by alluding to ‘Robynhode Well alias Saynt Anne Well’. There is no dispute about St Ann’s Well having been called after Robin Hood in the 14th century, for it is so styled in a legal document dated 20 July, 1500. The only record of this being the site of the ancient healing spring is a tiny plaque high up on the pub’s wall, though this carries no reference on it to Robin Hood. However, a proposal to restore it as the focal point of a St Ann’s heritage centre came to nought when the City Council refused financial assistance for the scheme. ![]() An exploratory excavation carried out in 1987 at the rear of the new public house relocated the spring, which was found to still flow. Some years ago the railway itself became a victim of a programme of railway closures, but while the tracks have now been removed the embankment remains with a public house, The Gardeners, once more occupying the approximate site of the inn demolished in 1855. Unfortunately the garden became a dumping ground for rubbish and in 1887 it was sold to a company who demolished the monument and buried the spring site under an embankment intended to carry a railway track. The spring water, though, had never been consumed for its healing properties, but bathed in, so the tap was a meaningless gesture. Initially access to the spring water was not possible, but later it was piped to a tap from which samples could be collected. This took the form of a mini-tower set centrally in a small garden, the whole being enclosed by a decorative iron fence. However, the fame and antiquity of the spring itself was recognised, the town council voting a sum of £100 to erect a monument over it. The spring continued to attract sick people from the Nottingham area and beyond until the early years of the 19th century but then it went into a rapid period of decline which ended with its closure in 1855 and the demolition of the inn and other buildings on the site. Eventually St Ann’s developed into a healing-cum-entertainment complex which I have described elsewhere as a ‘mini Vauxhall Gardens’. However, as the spring continued to attract large numbers of sick people because of its considerable reputation for curing rheumatic complaints, it is not surprising to find that the occupants of the house started to cater for the stream of visitors. Following the suppression of the priory the well site came into the possession of what passed for a town council in Nottingham (it may have been their property prior to seizure as the town owned woodland in the area) and a house was built there with stone taken from the now-disused chapel for a woodward, this individual having charge of the town’s forest land in the area. Some time during the early years of the 15th century the Nottinghamshire spring site was ‘seized’ by an unrecorded monastic order which I believe to have been the Cluniacs of Lenton Priory, Nottingham who built a chapel next to the spring which they dedicated to St Ann, following which the spring itself became known as St Ann’s Well. The Yorkshire spring is near Skelbrooke and was in a similar setting, in Barnsdale Forest. It is not my intention to become involved in this debate but to confine myself to a question which may have, indeed has, some implications in respect of the historical debate, namely, which of two springs, one in Nottinghamshire, the other in South Yorkshire, has been called after the outlaw longest?Īlthough now within the bounds of Nottingham, the site of the Nottinghamshire spring (I use the terms spring and well synonymously) was, when first recorded as bearing Robin Hood’s name in the 15th century, in Sherwood Forest, being about two miles north-east of the town (Nottingham did not become a city until 1897), at the side of a well-used route to the north. The stories of Robin Hood originated in the medieval period, though whether he was historical, a quasi-religious entity or a composite character are issues about which scholars have long argued and will, no doubt, continue to do so. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition, the date board contains “broken heart” tiles to trip you up as matching these will decrease your date score. You can also match the “joy” tokens, represented by bells, to increase your available moves and the heart shaped “passion” tiles to increase the multiplier for matches. ![]() Using date gifts requires “sentiment” though, which is obtained by matching teardrop tokens on the board. This means that bringing along date gifts such as peach perfume, which increases the amount of romance tokens that fall by 50% for the remainder of the date and orange cosmos, which consumes all romance tokens on the grid will be beneficial. For example, the most desired trait of the yoga teacher, Beli, is romance, which is orange tiles, while her least desired trait is flirtation, which is the green tiles. As you are only given a limited amount of moves in which to accomplish the required score you have to focus on matches using the color favored by the girl. The goal is to match the tile colors in pairs of three or more in order to gain points, but just matching random colors won’t help much. The dates, which take the form of a match-three style puzzlegrid, start off relatively easy, but the points needed to make the date “successful” increases after each one. They can turn the tide during dates though, so it is a good idea to take along gifts that will help with the type of traits favored by the girl. Date gifts are unlocked by buying girls presents that they like, but you can only take six with you on the date. Before each date it pays to check out the girls profile to determine which traits she favors and which ones she dislikes and then selecting appropriate date gifts to take with you on the date. You can take a girl on a date, once per day, giving you a chance to impress her even more and earn some “munie” in the process. These all come into play during the “dating” part of the game. Talking to girls and buying them unique gifts that they love will reward you with “Hunie Points” which is used to boost your character traits such as talent, flirtation, romance, sexuality, passion and luck. They all have their favorite types of food and if you can’t afford these or there are none left in the shop that match their taste you’ll have to move on to another girl for the day. The girls are all a hungry lot though and if their food meter is empty they will refuse to interact with you until you have fed them. In turn they will quiz you about information they already told you and ask probing questions where you have to select the answers that closest match their personalities. The girls all have their own personalities and you can ask them about facts such as their age, birthday, weight, hobbies and even cup size. Instead, you encounter eight gorgeous girls and must woo them by paying attention to what they tell you, showering them with gifts and taking them on successful dates. ![]() HuniePop might look like a visual novel at first glance, but doesn’t really feature the same kind of character progression and focus on story.

(for example, Dre’s foster mother in the episode before 6 seemed a lot more cold and reserved, almost as if she didn’t care much for Dre. Everyone in episode looks different, hell, there are even portions of the episode that makes me think some events didn’t go down like they did in the last episodes. Nearly all of Dre’s killings, her backstory, even details about Marissa’s funeral were displayed, but there appeared to be slight differences in the events that don’t line up with what we previously saw within the mockumentary, in particular, the physical appearance of all the characters. In the 6th episode, we’re treated to a mockumentary that details the events that we saw in previous episodes. And by the time anyone took a genuine interest in her. Whatever family records or lineage Dre had were lost or undocumented, she was completely and irrevocably abandoned. It's a sad thought because unfortunately at that point, it's already far too late for Dre. The detective ponders on this coincidence, wondering if it means anything, and if there's even the slightest possibility that Dre could be related to her through some kind of distant familial relationship.
