關於 180 days of reading ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

其實有不少眼尖的網友發現我搬家了
因為今年美國疫情擴散、導致孩子們全面100%遠距上課（今年除了升小二的Robbie之外，增加了幼稚園K的新鮮人Blair）
所以我們不得不重新思考搬家、並以「遠距上班上課」為前提調整家裡空間的分配
讓上班的上課的都有自己的小天地
（對啦！全家沒有自己空間的人只有我😂）

身邊有些朋友知道我計畫性地轉為home schooling （自學），彼此也經常交換意見。

簡單來說，我覺得沒有好或不好
每個家庭home school的經驗也都不盡相同
不論你是因為有四處旅居的需求？孩子有special needs? 宗教信仰？還是因為像我們這樣對於社區/疫情有安全考量，反正就是個決定，看妳覺得是不是適合你家的孩子

我單純只是覺得學區的課程對我來說有點浪費時間，畢竟小孩要學的東西很多，老母我沒有耐心一一盯著😂 希望有效率一點趕快完成。home school比較能針對個別孩子的需求去強化他擅長的領域或補足落後的科目，上課的方式完全由媽媽自己制定where, when and how

自學的教材比你我想像中還多，當然價位高低也不同，有幾家literacy教材很好但數學普通，有的數學好但歷史很無聊，建議不用買全餐，一家一家單點也不錯，每個小孩喜歡的也不同。像Blair就適合Abeka的螺旋式數學教學但Robbie就只吃AoPS這種跳躍性、重視覺的數學方案。網路上也有很多開箱文和評比值得參考喔！

我還是新手幼幼班菜鳥，目前還是跟著學區的課，沒有直接withdraw （但之後會申請改為part time students）
但是下課之後就以我自己制定的課表在學習（嗯⋯沒在管學校功課，只要有交就好，主要以媽媽的功課為重點）。學區其實在你file declaration 之後也有蠻多支援，還是可以參加學校限定時數的課程，所以沒什麼好擔心啦！

👉🏻如果想知道要不要開始？欸⋯只能問自己啊😂 我沒有答案，但很推薦盡量參與自學社團，有很多前輩分享寶貴經驗。

再來就是自己研究一下居住地區的「法律」，對，每一州不太一樣，我覺得WA算是比較麻煩的

（以下只是option 1，Homeschooling under the homeschool statute是我考慮的。還有option 2 Homeschooling with a private or denominational school 大家可以自己研究）

1. Meet the teacher qualifications.

You must be qualified to operate a homeschool program by either:

instructing only your child and being supervised by a certificated person (i.e., the certificated person and the parent together plan the educational objectives; the certificated person has a minimum average of one contact hour per week with the child; and the certificated person evaluates the child’s progress); or
instructing only your child and having either 45 college quarter credits or the equivalent in semester credits (approximately 30 semester credits, since one quarter credit equals two-thirds of a semester credit); or
instructing only your child and having completed a course in home-based education at a postsecondary institution or a vocational-technical institute (these courses generally do not require an extensive time commitment); or
instructing only your child and being “deemed sufficiently qualified to provide home-based instruction by the superintendent of the local school district.”

2. File a notice of intent.

You must annually file a signed declaration of intent to homeschool by September 15 or within two weeks of the beginning of any public school quarter, trimester, or semester. File with the local superintendent or with the superintendent of a nonresident district that accepts the homeschool student as a transfer student. The declaration must include the name and age of your child, specify whether a certificated person will be supervising the instruction, and be written in a format prescribed by the superintendent of public instruction. HSLDA has a declaration of intent form available for our members’ use, which you can find below.

3. Teach for the required number of days.

You must teach 180 days per year, or average 1,000 hours per year.

4. Teach the required subjects.

Your homeschool curriculum must include occupational education, science, math, language, social studies, history, health, reading, writing, spelling, and the development of an appreciation of art and music.

5. Conduct an annual assessment.

You have two options for the required annual assessments. The results of the assessment do not need to be submitted to the public schools but must be retained as part of your child’s permanent school record.

The assessment options are:

Ensure that a standardized test approved by the state board is administered annually to your child by a “qualified” person (i.e. anyone qualified by the test publisher to administer the test), or
Have your child evaluated by a certificated person.

歡迎有興趣一起自學的媽媽可以多交流，但我大概也沒有比大家懂更多就是了😂

【水世界】的前製設定與現場劇照

WATERWORLD (1995)
In celebration of today’s anniversary of this wet mess/epic. Let’s celebrate the hard work this crew put into bringing this world to life. Water movies are never easy but when it comes to this movie anytime you bring it up and a crew member from it is in earshot, the stories pour out. Not always bad, I know a AC that said he had a blast, he loved the boat rides out and all the camaraderie the crew had to have to get thru it. To all the crew that helped bring WATERWORLD to life, We salute you and thanks for the memories. I personally enjoy this hot mess of a movie, it’s one of the last ones of its kind...done practically...in a way.
let’s take a deepest of dives into WATERWORLD

The director, Kevin Reynolds, knew there would be problems before production had even started, “During pre-production. Because having never shot on water to that extent before, I didn’t really realise what I was in for. I talked to Spielberg about it because he’d gone to do Jaws, and I remember, he said to me, “Oh, I would never shoot another picture on water”.
“When we were doing the budget for the picture, and the head of the studio, Sid Sheinberg, we were talking about it and I said, “Steven told me that on Jaws the schedule for the picture was 55 days, and they ended up shooting a 155 days”. Because of the water. And he sat there for a moment and he said, “You know, I’m not sure about the days, but I do know they went a hundred percent over budget”. And so, Universal knew the potential problems of shooting on water. It’s monstrous.”
The film began with a projected budget of $100 million which had reportedly increased to $175 million by the end of production. The principle photography had overrun for at least thirty days more than originally planned due to one major decision.

Whereas today they would film in water tanks with partially built sets, employing green screens to fake the locations, back in 1995 they decided to build everything full size and shoot out on the ocean.

This causes extra logistical problems on top of those that already come with making a major action blockbuster. Cast and crew have to be transported to sets. The camera boats and sets float out of position and will have to be reset between takes taking up valuable production time.

The first draft of Waterworld was written by Peter Radar, a Harvard graduate who wanted to break into the film business. His contact in the film industry was Brad Kevoy, an assistant to the legendary director Roger Corman.

Roger Corman is best known for making films very quickly on a small budget. He also liked to give young talent a chance to direct and write their own films. Brad informed Peter that if he could write a Mad Max rip off, he would arrange to finance and let him direct the picture.

Radar came back and pitched the idea for what would become Waterworld. Kevoy took one look at him and said,

“Are you out of your mind? This would cost us three million dollars to make this movie!”
So Radar kept hold of the idea and decided to re-write the script but, this time, going wild. He wrote what he wanted to see on-screen, limited only by his imagination, not a real world production budget.

He managed to get the newly written script shown to a pair of producers with whom he had made contact with. They loved it and ironically they passed it onto Larry Gordon. He shared the enthusiasm saying it had the kind of cinematic possibilities he was looking for. A deal was signed on Christmas Eve of 1989.

As further script rewrites progressed, it became clear that Waterworld was too big for the Larry Gordon’s production company to undertake by themselves. In February 1992, a deal was signed with Universal Pictures to co-produce and co-finance the film. This was now six years after the first draft had been written.

Universal had signed director Kevin Reynolds to Waterworld. Whilst he was finishing his latest film, Rapa Nui, pre-production for Waterworld was already underway.

The decision was taken that the largest set for the film, known as the atoll, would be built full size. The atoll was the primary location for film and in the story served as the location for a small population of survivors.

The logic behind this decision was due to the high percentage of live action filming required in this location, as well as a huge action set piece. No sound stage would be big enough to incorporate this number of scenes and it was crucial that we see the mariner sail his boat into the atoll, turn around and set out again. A full-size construction was the only way to go as the use of miniature and special effects would be impractical.

The next problem was deciding where to build this huge set. After much research, Kawaihae Harbour in Hawaii was chosen as the location. The atoll could be constructed in the harbour and rotated when needed thus allowing for open sea in the background. Later towards the end of principle photography, the atoll could be towed out into the open sea for the filming of the big action sequences which would be impractical to shoot in an enclosed harbour.

Director Kevin Reynolds also discussed the possibility of using the same water tank as James Cameron’s The Abyss, which had filmed there around five years ago,

“We had even entertained the notion of shooting at that big nuclear reactor facility where they had shot The Abyss, to use it for our underwater tank. But we found it in such a state of disrepair that economically it just wasn’t feasible. We didn’t have as much underwater work as they did. Most of The Abyss is interiors and underwater and model work, ours is mostly surface exterior.”

The production company had originally envisioned building the atoll by linking approximately one hundred boats together and building upon this foundation, just like the characters in the film. The production crew set out to search Hawaii and get hold of as many boats as possible.

During this search, a unique boat in Honolulu caught their attention. Upon further investigation, they discovered it was built by Navitech, a subsidiary of the famous aircraft production company, Lockheed.

They approached Lockheed with the strange request of figuring out how they could build the foundations of the atoll. Lockheed found the request unusual but didn’t shy away from the challenging. They agreed to design the atoll foundation and Navitech would construct it.

Meanwhile, an 11ft miniature model of the atoll was sent out to a model ship testing facility in San Diego. Scaled wave tanks are used to determine the effects of the open sea on large scale miniature models of new untested ship designs. This would help determine what would happen with the unusual design of the atoll when it was out of the harbour.

The atoll, when finished, was approximately ¼ mile in circumference. It took three months to construct and is rumoured to cost around $22 million. As the atoll would be used out on the open sea, it required a seafaring license. Nothing like this had been done before and after much deliberation, it was eventually classed as an unmanned vessel. This meant that all cast and crew would have to vacate the set whilst it was towed into position. By the end of production, the atoll was towed out to sea a total of five times.

Shooting out on the open sea presented a series of logistical problem as Reynolds describes,

“We had an entire navy, basically – I mean, this atoll was positioned about a mile off-shore in Hawaii, it was anchored to the bottom of the ocean so it could rotate. What you don’t think about are things like, you’re shooting on this atoll to maintain this notion that there’s no dry land, you always have to shoot out to sea. Away from the land. So we chose a location where we had about a 180 degree view of open water. Nevertheless, any time when you’re shooting, there could be a ship appear in the background, or something like that, and you had to make a choice. Do I hold up the shot, wait for the ship to move out, or do we shoot and say we’re going to incur this additional cost in post-production of trying to remove the ship from the background.

And at that time, CGI was not at the point it is now, it was a bigger deal. And so, even though if you’re shooting across the atoll and you’re shooting out onto open water, when you turn around and do the reverses, for the action, you had to rotate the entire atoll, so that you’re still shooting out to open water. Those are the kinds of things that people don’t realise.

Or something as simple as – if you’re shooting a scene between two boats, and you’re trying to shoot The Mariner on his craft, another boat or whatever, you’ve got a camera boat shooting his boat, and then the other boat in the background. Well, when you’re on open water things tend to drift apart. So you have to send lines down from each of those boats to the bottom, to anchor them so that they somewhat stay in frame. When you’ve got a simple shot on land, you set up the camera position, you put people in front of the camera and then you put background in there. But when you’re on water, everything’s constantly moving apart, drifting apart, so you have to try to hold things down somewhat.

And these are simple things that you don’t really realise when you’re looking at it on film. But logistically, it’s crazy. And each day you shoot on the atoll with all those extras, we had to transport those people from dry land out to the location and so you’re getting hundreds of people through wardrobe and everything, and you’re putting them on boats, transporting them out to the atoll, and trying to get everybody in position to do a shot. And then when you break for lunch, you have to put everybody on boats and take them back in to feed them.”

The final size of the atoll was determined by the size of the Mariners boat, the trimaran. The dimensions for the trimaran were finalised very early on in pre-production, allowing all other vehicles and sets to be sized accordingly.

Production required two trimarans boats which are so called because they have three hulls. The first was based on the standard trimaran blueprint and built for speed but also had to accommodate a secret crew below decks.

During wide and aerial shots it would have to look like Costner himself was piloting the boat. In reality, a trained crew could monitor and perform the real sailing of the boat utilising specially built controls and television monitors below deck.

The second trimaran was the trawler boat which could transform into the racer through the use of special practical effects rigs. Both of these boats were constructed in France by Jeanneau. Normally this type of vessel requires a year to construct but production needed two boats in five months!

Normally once the boat had been constructed, Jeammeau would deliver it on the deck of a freighter, requiring a delivery time of around a month. This delay was unacceptable and so the trimarans were dismantled into sections and taken by a 747 air freighter to the dock Hawaii. Upon arrival, a further month was required to reassemble the boat and get them prepared for filming.

sets recreating the inside of the tanker were built using forced perspective in a huge 1000ft long warehouse which had an adjoining 2000ft field. In this field, they built the set of the oil tankers deck, again constructed using forced perspective. Using the forced perspective trick, the 500ft long set could be constructed to give the impression that it was really twice as long.

There’s more to a film than just it’s sets and filming locations. Over two thousand costumes had to be created with many of the lead actors costumes being replicated many times over due to wear and tear.

This is not an uncommon practice for film production, but due to the unique look of the people and the world they inhabit, it did create some headaches. One costume was created with so many fish scales the wardrobe department had to search the entire island of Hawaii looking for anyone who could supply in the huge quantity required.

Makeup had to use waterproof cosmetics, especially on the stunt players. As everyone had a sun burnt look, a three-sided tanning booth was setup. The extras numbering in their hundreds, with ages ranging from six to sixty-five, passed through the booth like a production line to receive their spray tan. The extras then moved onto costume before finally having their hair fixed and becoming ready for the day.

In some scenes, extras were actually painted plywood cutouts to help enhance the number of extras on the set. This can easily be seen in one particular shot on board the Deez super tanker.

Filming on the water is not only a difficult and time-consuming process but also very dangerous. It’s been reported that Jeanne Tripplehorn and Tina Majorino nearly drowned on their first day of filming.

Waterworld’s star Kevin Costner reported having a near-death experience when filming a scene in which the mariner ties himself to his catamaran to survive a storm. The pounding water caused him to black out and nearly drown.

Unbeknownst to most of the crew, Kevin Costner’s stunt double was riding his jet ski across 40 miles of open ocean between his home on Maui and the film’s set on the Big Island. When he didn’t show up for work one day, the production team phoned his wife, who informed them he had already left for work. The stunt double’s jet ski had run out of gas halfway through his “commute” and a storm had swept him farther out to sea. It took a helicopter most of the day to find him. The stunt doubles name was Laird Hamilton.

As well as the logistical problems of creating a film of this scale and on water, they also had to deal with the press who seemed intent on wanting the film to fail. Director Kevin Reynolds discusses the situation,

“It was huge, we were constantly fighting – people wanted to have bad press. That was more exciting to them than the good news. I guess the most egregious example of that that I recall was that the publicist told me that one day…we’d been out the day before and we were doing a shot where we sent two cameras up on a mast of the trimaran and we wanted to do a shot where they tilled down from the horizon down to the deck below. We’re out there, we’re anchored, we’re setting the shot up and a swell comes in, and I look over and the mast is sort of bending.

And I turned to the boatmaster and I said, “Bruno, is this safe?”. And he looks up the mast and he goes, “No”. So I said, “Okay, well, we have to get out as I can’t have two guys fall off from 40 feet up”. So, we had to break out of the set-up, and go back in a shoot something else and we lost another half-day.

Anyway, the next day the publicist is sitting in his office and he gets this call from some journalist in the States and he goes, “Okay. Don’t lie to me – I’ve had this confirmed from two different people. I want the facts, and I want to hear about the accident yesterday, we had two cameramen fall off the mast and were killed”.

And, he goes, “What are you talking about?”. And he goes, “Don’t lie to me, don’t cover this up, we know this has happened”. It didn’t happen! People were so hungry for bad news because it was much more exciting than…they just said it, and you know, it hurt us.”
Upon release, the press seemed to be disappointed that the film wasn’t the massive failure they were hoping it to be. Universal Studios told Kevin Reynolds that one critic came out of an early screening in New York and in a disappointed tone said,

“Well, it didn’t suck.”

It is true that during principle photography the slave colony set sank and had to be retrieved. However due to bad press, the rumour became much bigger and to this day when you mention the sinking set, most people assume it was the huge atoll.

During production, press nicknamed the film “Kevin’s Gate” and “Fishtar”, referring to 1980’s box office failures Heaven’s Gate and Ishtar. Heaven’s Gate failed so badly it led to the sale of United Artists Studio and has become synonymous with failure in Hollywood.

As well as the exaggerated set problems and other various production rumours, there were also difficulties with the script. In a risky move, the film was green lit and moved into production without a finalised script.

The final total is a reportedly thirty-six rewrites. One of the writers involved was Joss Whedon. Joss had worked on many scripts before becoming a director having being at the helm of both The Avengers and the sequel Avengers: Age Of Ultron. He described his experience on Waterworld as,

“Seven weeks of hell”
Everything came to a head just three weeks before the end of principle photography. Kevin Reynolds who was an old friend of Kevin Costner allegedly walked off set or was fired. There was no official statement on what happened.

When Reynolds left the production this event caused many changes to be made. Composer Mark Isham had already composed approximately two-thirds of the film’s score by the time Reynolds left and that event ultimately caused him to leave production. As Mark describes in this interview excerpt,

“Kevin Reynolds quit the film, which left me working for Kevin Costner, who listened to what I had written and wanted a completely different point of view. He basically made a completely different film — he re-cut the entire film, and in his meeting with me he expressed that he wanted a completely different approach to the score. And I said, “oh let me demonstrate that I can give that to you”, so I presented him with a demo of my approach to his approach, and he rejected that and fired me. What I find a lot in these big films, because the production schedules are so insane, that the directors have very little time to actually concentrate on the music.”
Rumours report that Costner took control of production. He directed the last few weeks of principle photography and edited the final cut of the film that was released in cinemas.

Reynolds discusses his surprise at discovering that one of the most famous scenes from what is known as the extended version, was left on the cutting room floor,

“…it would have differed from what you saw on the screen to some extent, and one of the things I’ve always been perplexed by in the version that was released, theatrically, although subsequently the longer version included it, and the reason that I did the film, was that at the very end of the picture, at the very end of the script, there’s a scene when they finally reach dry land and The Mariner’s sailing off and he leaves the two women behind, and in the script they’re standing up on this high point and they’re watching him sail away, and the little girl stumbles on something.
And they look down and clear the grass away and that’s this plaque. And it says, “Here, near this spot, 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary first set foot on the summit of Everest”. And that was in script and I was like, “Oh, of course! Wow, the highest point on the planet! That would have been dry land!”. And we got it! We shot that. And they left it out of the picture. And I’m like, “Whaaat?!”. It’s like the Statue of Liberty moment in Planet of the Apes. And I was like, “Why would you leave that out?”

🛫 ใครคุ้ม ใครไม่คุ้ม กับ AirAsia Unlimited Pass

😎 เป็นประเด็นที่ถกเถียงกันเยอะมากทั้งบนเพจติดโปรและเพจอื่นๆ บางคนบอกคุ้มมาก จองไปแล้ว 10 เที่ยว แต่ก็มีบางคนบอกไม่คุ้มเลย จองแบบปกติดีกว่า ไม่ขอเสี่ยง วันนี้แอดมินจะมาเล่าสู่กันฟัง ว่าข้อดีข้อเสียของพาสนี้คืออะไรและตอบโจทย์ใครบ้าง

....
Continue Reading🛫 Who is worth it? Who is not worth it with AirAsia Unlimited Pass.

😎 It's a lot of controversial issues. Both on the pro page and other pages. Some people say it's worth it. I have reserved 10 travel. But someone said it's not worthwhile. Reserve normally. Better not risk today. Admin. I will tell you about what the advantages of this pastel are and who answers the problem.

.
#ขอเริ่มที่ข้อดีก่อนเลย

1. AirAsia Unlimited Pass can fly unlimited. Fly all routes in the country. Whether it's flying out of Bangkok or flying into Bangkok, including flying across sectors which are in many routes.

2. Provide travel time is 20 July-17 December 2563 Overall, around 5 months, average 600 Baht per month.

3. Choose to fly Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It's suitable for those who work on a day. We will fly to Saturday and Sunday. If it doesn't match the long holiday that the airline doesn't reserve. When you watch, there will be a weekend (F-A) that Got all 14 weeks

4. Many people wonder if there is a limit on the number of seats. Will it be similar to redemption of miles? From the answer, if it's not a travel day (around 44 days). You can reserve all flights, all routes and all booking prices. Until it's full, such as A320 plane. There are 180 seats. You can use buffet tickets for all 180 seats. As long as the airline is open for that flight, normal people can buy. People with buffet passengers. I can still reserve it.

5. Once the ticket reservation is completed and cannot be traveled on the booking date, the ticket will not be immediately disqualified. The airline will give 3 chances not to travel or leave the ticket. If the 4st time will be cancelled. Immediately, this condition is to prevent other reserved people.

.
#มีข้อดีก็ย่อมมีข้อเสีย

1. Must reserve at least 21 days before travel. For example, if you book today (30 June), you can choose to travel asap July 21th. If you fly quickly, you can't make reservation.

2. There are days that cannot be chosen to travel such as long holiday or cuddle th public day. All 44 days are made for those who will travel during many holidays. There are only 1-3 left to choose from. 16-17 Dec 16-17 July But as I said, there are 14 weekends flying.

3. Limited to 2 flights per day. Which is why I can listen. Those who go in the morning and evening can still reserve normally. But those who want to book Bangkok-Chiang Mai in the morning and continue to fly to Phuket in the afternoon. End with flying back to Bangkok in the evening. I'm out of rights like this.

4. Airport tax to pay more when booking a ticket, not paying 2,999 baht. This airport tax is not the income of every airline. From this section will be passed to the owner of the airport. It's why we need to have to. Pay every time you book.

5. Booking fees are not avoided if you choose to pay via credit card or cut bank account. But if anyone has credit from airline during the cancellation of many flights, it can be paid. There will be no booking fees. #advantages Of people with credit right now

6. There are other extra charges such as seat selection, loading bag. These additional services can avoid by providing random seats and not loading bags which can carry up to 7 kg. We don't have to pay this part

.
😍 Read here and it's enough to evaluate yourself whether this pass is suitable for us. If you are not sure, consider 1 more issues.

😄 If we are going to fly late July and book now to Chiang Mai. Cheapest ticket price. 1,500 baht per trip. 3,000 baht. We should buy the pastel until the end of July. If we can fly again, it's our profit.

😄 If we are going to fly in September - December, the ticket will be in 900-1,200 baht. Go-back under 2,400 baht. I think that there shouldn't be another flight. The end of this year won't be worthwhile. Immediately but if you think that there is a 2th trip happening for sure. I recommend you to buy a pass because the 2th trip is profit from this past. And if there is 3 trip, 4 more profit, no profit. Need to pay for more tickets, airport tax and booking fees.

.
😘 So who this pass is suitable for.
1. people aged 12 years old on travel day
2. people who have more than 1 trip plans this year and can travel on airline day.
3. people with flexible hours. Not up for a long holiday.
4. people who have a lot of days left.
5. people who like to go home to other provinces. Visit relatives and friends.
6. people are tired. I want to go to other provinces during Saturday and Sunday. If it's more difficult, it will be worthwhile because I can travel on Saturday and Sunday for 14 rounds. (but I'm too tired. Admin can't take this.
7. crazy people (travel) can fly to eat in Chiang Mai in the morning. Stop by to eat snacks in Nimman and fly back in the evening.

.
🤭 and this pass wouldn't suit these people
1. people who like to stay home. Don't go anywhere. Don't like
2. people who have to work full time. Good bye. No days off. Working 7 days a week.
3. people who can't plan more than 21 days ahead
4. people who think they will travel only one trip this year.

.
😚 After reading, you think that you are worth it or not. Share the information to exchange because this pass is limited to the first 100,000 people. It's gone. It's gone. It can help many people decide whether you should buy or not.
