![]() She was a comic-book nerd: first DC and then Marvel. Le Guin, Frank Herbert’s Dune, and Zenna Henderson, whose book Pilgrimage she would buy for her friends to read. She especially liked Theodore Sturgeon, Ursula K. She found a refuge at the Pasadena Public Library, where she leaped into science fiction. She went home and wrote stories of wild horses that could shape-shift and that “made fools of the men who came to catch them.” Children’s capacity for cruelty stayed with her. When she saw an old pony at a carnival with festering sores swarmed by flies, she realized the sores had come from the other kids kicking the animal to make it go faster. She loved horses like those in The Black Stallion. ![]() “But when I wrote, I wasn’t.” By the time she was 10, she was writing her own worlds. “I usually had very few friends, and I was lonely,” Butler said. She did dream a lot, and she began to write her dreams down in a large pink notebook she carried around with her. ![]() In her elementary-school progress reports, one teacher wrote that “she dreams a lot and has poor concentration.” That was true. It was the only time in her life she really considered suicide. “Instead, I grew six feet tall.” The boys resented her growth spurt, and sometimes she would get mistaken for a friend’s mother or chased out of the women’s bathroom. The first time she remembered someone calling her “ugly” was in the first grade - bullying that continued through her adolescence. Her youth was filled with drudgery and torment. She broke down in tears when she had to speak in front of the class. In her family, Butler went by Junie, short for Junior, and in the world, she went by Estelle or Estella to avoid confusion for people looking for her mother. She was quiet and deeply religious, and she read Butler bedtime stories until she was 6, at which point she said, “Here’s the book. Octavia Margaret’s dream was to have her own place where she could tend her garden. Later, her mother would rent a spot for the two of them in Pasadena and work as a day laborer for wealthy white women. Her father, Laurice James Butler, worked as a shoeshiner and died when she was 3 years old. When Butler was very young, her family used to “stay on the place,” meaning they lived on the property of the family they worked for. ![]() ![]() Octavia Margaret worked from an early age she attended school in California but was pulled out after a few years to help earn money. As far as Butler could tell, her grandmother’s life wasn’t far removed from slavery - the only difference was she had worked hard enough and saved enough money to move everyone out west during the Great Migration, to Pasadena, California, in the early 1920s. There was no school for Black children, but Estella taught Octavia Margaret enough to read and write. She raised seven children on a plantation in Louisiana, chopping sugarcane, boiling laundry in hot cauldrons, and cooking and cleaning, not only for her family but for the white family that owned the land. Her grandmother was an astonishing woman. Octavia Estelle Butler was named after two of the most important people in her life: her mother, Octavia Margaret Guy, and her grandmother, Estella. ![]()

![]() Or you’re a boat person, so you go 100% nautical to create various vessels and related objects. So you’re 100% focused on creating libraries of various containers and drink types from around the world. This will involve a little research of current online 3D libraries to see what is selling well, what is not, and if you can identify any holes to be filled.įor e.g maybe you carve your own lane as the 3D drink modeler. Think about what that person may need to make their work more efficient and effective, what could you provide them to achieve this? Instead of beginning to model random objects around your home, envision the end customer in your head. While selling 3D models is not my first recommendation, there is still a need and opportunity here. How many people in the world would that apply to? Your audience is distilled down to the person who is in need of a dining room table, in that style, configuration, and resolution needed for their project. If you were to model a computer desk or dining room table. The challenge with selling 3D models online is your audience is incredibly small. Which means, it’s saturated and less likely to be fruitful. While arguably the lowest barrier to entry to get started, it’s one of the most popular ways 3D artists first try to earn money with Blender. It can be as simple as designing 3D graphics for holiday cards, and social media avatars, or building models for them to use in Second Life or Roblox. It comes in handy if you have a family member doing a remodeling project, offering to visualize in 3D what their project will look like. If you’re a fan of Roblox perhaps offering to create 3D models for people who play Roblox would be a successful niche market to get yourself into.įor family and friends, 3D opportunities are plentiful. ![]() This is where some creativity will go a long way. ![]() Creating accounts on sites like and is a simple way to put yourself out there for an available 3D commission. It’s just a matter of checking these or filtering the daily job emails you’ll receive.īeginning with a few simple commissions is a great way to gain some experience.Įarly commission work helps grow your network, build your portfolio, and figure out what is working for you. There are mainstream sites you could begin keeping a pulse on for work related to Blender such as Indeed or ZipRecruiter, though you’re likely to have more luck sticking closer to the 3D community sites such as:Įither way, casting a wide net here cannot hurt. With the worldwide embrace of remote, opportunities as a 3D Blender artist are plentiful if you know where to look, and can be a bit creative with your approach. It’s an exciting time to be involved in technology and computer graphics.

Yet many preppers either overlook them entirely, think N95 is the answer to everything, or buy a cheap gas mask while believing they can bug out to Chernobyl. Respirators have a nice cost/weight/volume to benefit ratio, especially the smaller disposable ones, and should be in every emergency kit. Don’t forget to protect your eyes, too, and that exhalation valves on masks means you could be spreading the virus via blowing it out of your mask. Here’s a collection of DIY mask instructions, tips on safely putting on and taking off your mask, and you can follow COVID updates and analysis here. But in this case you can still make a meaningful difference protecting yourself and others with simple face masks. Bandanas, dust masks, and surgical masks are not respirators and are not something you should rely on in emergencies!ĬOVID editor’s note January 24 2020: It’s basically impossible for a consumer to find a proper respirator after the initial panic buying and severe lack of government/hospital preparation. The best masks for emergencies are respirators because they prevent bad stuff from getting into your respiratory system. ![]() ![]() ![]() They were able to recover the original file from her email and were able to save and edit the new copy of the document without Word crashing. The only way to break out of the cycle was to get the saved state out of the loop, which allowed Word to launch without trying to open the corrupted file.įortunately, the document in this case was a file that the user had received that day via email from a colleague. Saved state told it to open this file CRASH. On restart, it queried the saved state again. When Word tried to open the file, it crashed instantly. When Word launched, it queried the saved state which told it to open this file. In the initial crash, the file had somehow corrupted.Īfter that, Word got trapped in a cycle. When I asked her to open the file in question, Word instantly crashed with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error. My user had been editing a file when Word initially crashed. After that, Word launched without a single error. Then I went into /Users/username/Library/Saved Application State and moved the folder to the folder on the user’s desktop where I had been storing the other files that I had moved. I stopped at that point and just thought through the process for a minute or so. Why? How? All the work I had done should have cleared out Word’s listing of recent files. But this time, I caught a small “opening file” screen that was gone in an eyeblink because Word crashed immediately after the screen appeared.

The prospector repeatedly adds water, swishing and draining. Because gold is heavier than dirt, it sinks to the bottom of the pan. While swishing the dirt-water mix, he slightly tilts the pan to pour out a small amount. He then adds water to the pan and performs a slow, swishing motion to thoroughly mix it into the dirt. The prospector goes to the water’s edge, scoops dirt from the five-gallon bucket and puts it into the gold pan. (A half-inch mesh classifier has four holes per square inch while a quarter-inch mesh has about 16 holes per square inch.) The prospector checks the larger rocks remaining in the classifier for the extremely rare possibility they are made of gold.Īfter several scoops, the bucket becomes full of filtered dirt and is ready for an additional filtering process. The classifier sifts the larger stones and pebbles through mesh, allowing smaller dirt particles to collect in the bucket. Using one popular technique, the prospector will scoop large sections of dirt believed to have gold deposits into a five-gallon bucket covered by a classifier. A very small vial is used to collect what are usually only flecks of precious gold found after hours of effort. Old-school prospecting tools include a shovel, a large bucket, a classifier (sifter), a gold pan, and access to water-usually a nearby pond or stream. Though mining is more industrialized today, many still use traditional methods of gold prospecting. ![]() You can learn to find delight in searching God’s Word. ![]() Like prospecting for gold, a purposeful searching of the scriptures makes discovering priceless bits of spiritual and practical information worth the effort. Recognizing the value of the wisdom, knowledge and understanding contained in God’s Word can motivate you to put forth the effort. The promise to get to it when we have “more time” usually never materializes, or at best results in a superficial look at Scripture. Though we recognize that in-depth study is important, “cares of this life” ( Luke 21:34) can make it difficult to make time to research and probe verses. Our schedules can also make it challenging. If we are not naturally bookish or scholarly, it takes additional motivation to sit and focus on the pages of a book, even God’s Word. Several reasons could explain a lack of delight in Bible study. We all occasionally find it difficult to muster excitement in studying Scripture. If this describes you, take solace in the fact that you are not alone. It could have been when first learning the truth or perhaps after hearing a particularly inspiring sermon or reading a thought-provoking Pillar article.īut this zeal can turn into the exception instead of the norm. ![]() We have all experienced interest and excitement while examining scriptures. Once prospectors identify an area with gold, they will do almost anything to secure control of it and mine it thoroughly.Ĭhrist’s analogy is spot on. Reserves below ground are estimated to be only another 54,000 tons. This includes all the gold in jewelry, private investment and the government sector. To give an idea of how little this is, if all the gold ever discovered were melted into one cube, it would only be about 70 feet on each side-enough to fill 100 tractor trailers. Despite being discovered on every continent (except Antarctica), only 190,040 tons of gold have been discovered. It is valued highly because it is so rare. Gold collects beneath the Earth’s surface when molten rock containing the precious metal and other materials circulates toward the surface and cools, forming deposits. Similarly, searching God’s Word is like prospecting for gold. A man discovered this fortune and exuberantly sold all he had to buy the property and mine as much treasure as he could. 1:2 112:1)?Ĭhrist likened His message to a treasure hid in a field ( Matt.
