Technology-Enhanced learning in Engineering Education
Case studies of eLearning in Engineering Education
Enhancement in student learning experience is achieved through the use of eLearning by offering students an alternative learning experience via improved electronic or technological applications. As a teacher, you can enhance students' learning by initiating certain teaching activities that engages students.
Five Technology-Enhanced Learning Tools in Engineering Education
- Video Game-Based Program for Teaching Dynamic Systems and Control (at Northern Illinois University, USA)
At Northern Illinois University (Chang et al., 2011), one of the most difficult courses to teach in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum is Dynamic Systems and Control (DS&C) offered to undergraduates. Students find the Laplace-domain mathematics very unnatural and confusing (Coller, 2009) because the mathematics are abstract (Chang et al., 2011).
In 2008, components of the course such as the assessments and other learning activities were redesigned by incorporating the use of a video game called "EduTorcs". EduTorcs is a video game of a sophisticated vehicle (car or bicycle) simulation that runs in real-time (Coller, 2009). The design of the video game sought to embed real engineering challenges that would require students to devise creative control strategies and deeply explore the dynamics of the vehicles.
The rationale for introducing the video game to students was to encourage them to learn the material. Problems typically found in the textbook are narrowly focused, oversimplified, and bear little resemblance to the actual engineering practice. However the challenges embedded within the game require real engineering problem solving skills. Students solving the problem need to think, act, and value as engineers. Thus the game is used to create a notably different type of learning environment compared to that of the textbook (Chang et al., 2011; Coller, 2009).
Unlike the traditional method of playing video game (such as using joystick), students have to write algorithms in C++ to control the car or bicycle. Students model the vehicles' dynamics and then design and implement feedback controllers that are sufficiently robust to handle system non-linearities and measurement errors. The algorithms are directly linked to the game at run time. Feedback is given immediately as to whether the algorithms are successful in navigating the car or bicycle under specific scenarios (such as can the algorithm make the car do a sharp turn at 150 mph or make the car crash).
Through teaching DS&C with the video game, students could explore the input/output behavior of the car more deeply, develop more sophisticated steering algorithms, path-following algorithms, and speed control algorithms. By embedding the theory into an engaging context that builds on students' prior knowledge, the game aims to help students clarify abstract computer science concepts. However, the teacher needs to make informed decision on what and how relevant concepts are to be incorporated into the video game (Coller, 2009).

- Simulator Software for Experiential Learning in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia)
The simulator software ("NI Multisim 10") has been used to teach a first year course on electronic systems at Swinburne University of Technology (Chang et al., 2011). The interface lets students wire up any electronic/electrical circuit using the included simulations as though it is like completing the task physically in the laboratory using authentic electronic/electrical components.
In addition, students enrolled to the course will have ownership to a copy of the software, which they can use at their own convenience.
The software has been used as a tool for students in verifying assignment solutions, submitted laboratory preliminary results, answers to tutorial exercises and text book exercises with corresponding simulation in hope of encouraging students' development of critical thinking and analytical skills.
Having this software available for students supports both academic-driven and learner-centered experiential learning, thereby encourages student engagement that leads to deeper levels of understanding and students attaining desirable attributes.
Furthermore it is also encouraging to know that students used the simulator software to check their calculations even though it was not part of their assessment requirement to do so. In another words, the software encourages students to learn on their own by allowing verification of assignment solution at one's convenience.

- Online Roleplay Simulations for Developing Generic Graduate Attributes and Preparing Engineering Students for Multidisciplinary and International Practice (at the University of Adelaide, Australia)
The online roleplay simulation ("Mekong eSim") is hosted at the University of Adelaide using the Blackboard LMS (Maier & Baron, 2005). The "Mekong eSim" is an online roleplay simulation set in the Mekong region of South-East Asia which seeks to inform participants of the issues faced in the Mekong region and involve them in the hypothetical management of some of these conflicts (Helpdesk for MyUni, 2013).
The simulation involves 60 - 140 students (second year civil, environmental, and mining engineering students; and students from geography and Asian studies) from a number of universities apart from the University of Adelaide (Maier & Baron, 2005).
It serves to develop students' generic skills and attributes that have been recognized as being important by professional accreditation bodies of engineering degree programs, but are generally difficult to develop in a traditional classroom setting, which includes (a) an understanding of the concept of sustainability; (b) an understanding of the ability to communicate and work in teams; and (c) an understanding of social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of engineers (Maier, 2007; Maier, Baron, & McLaughlan, 2007)
The roleplay simulation (Maier & Baron, 2005) involves interactions between multiple learners, who adopt the roles of stakeholders with different responsibilities and point of view. They have to interact with each other about some complex issues without a single correct outcome. The question for discussion is delivered through media announcement ("Mekong TV news"). In response, students attempt to reach a better understanding of the investigated issue or problem through private reflection and sharing of information and opinions. During the process of exploration and integration, students move repeatedly between critical reflection (private) and discourse (shared with community of inquiry).
The roleplay simulation (Maier & Baron, 2005) used in engineering education involves the investigation of an issue through a proposed engineering project. In the context of preparing engineering students for multidisciplinary and international practice, the project should be set in an international context and exploit areas of potential conflict, such as opposing emotions or motives, perpetual differences and/or clashes over limited resources. It is hoped that through this form of activity, it will assist engineering students to see engineering developments from multiple perspectives, and to highlight the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of professional engineers. In addition, students have the opportunity to develop both communication and teamwork skills.
The use of such online environment also enabled students from different geographical regions and disciplinary backgrounds to share the same interactive space by using an online environment. Accessibility along with thoughtful learning design and relevant features shifts student learning from mere involvement to active engagement. A number of online quizzes with deadline were developed in order to motivate students to take initiative in logging into LMS.

- Java Applets with Computer Aided Teaching in Geotechnical Engineering (CATIGE) (at the University of Adelaide, Australia)
CATIGE Suite (Chang et al., 2011) has been usedasa wayof deepening undergraduate civil engineering students' engagement in undergoing geotechnical engineering experiments in the laboratory because experiments measuring soil behavior can generally take several hours to perform, as a result students might have the tendency to feel disengaged from the material and learning. Thus educators have attempted to address such factor, which led to the design of CATIGE Suite. CATIGE Suite's design philosophy relates to soil types. The suite contains fifteen separate programs such as Mohr's circle, triaxial test, vertical effective stress calculation, and a geotechnical engineering unit converter. Eight of those programs have been further developed as Java applets.
CATIGE is used in lectures to assist with the understanding of fundamental geotechnical engineering principles, in practical classes to enhance student engagement and reinforce key learning outcomes, and as an alternative study resource. The software enables students to examine the variables that influence soil behavior, where instant responses and feedbacks are provided. Students engage with the program because it is more responsive compared to laboratory equipment, which facilitates their deeper learning.

- Remote and Virtual Laboratories (at the University of Melbourne, Australia)
The remote and virtual laboratories were introduced to third-year engineering students for a laboratory class on data acquisition at the University of Melbourne (Chang et al., 2011). Students in this class were required to calibrate a piezoelectric accelerometer using a Doppler laser. Students were randomly assigned to one of the three modes: (i) a traditional face-to-face laboratory, (ii) an internet-based remote control mode, and (iii) a full virtual simulation of the experiment.
Results gathered suggested that the remote and virtual access mode inherently changes the nature of students' engagement because it not only changes how they learn, but also what they thought they learn. The students in the remote mode were more reflective in their practice. They thought about their data as they gathered it, instead of just writing down the figures. They also proved better at dealing with unexpected results. Apart from the changes in student engagement, students also have changed perceptions of their learning outcomes in the remote and virtual access mode.

A Computer Aided Drawing Program implemented for Engineering Design and Construction at the University of Adelaide, Australia
The following computer aided drawing software (Willis & Doherty, 2012) is used to create a document on a multi-storey building. An interactive virtual tour of the building and construction was developed based on the technical drawings of the structure. The software allowed the section of the different structural components of the buildings, such as beams and columns, to be displayed in corresponding photographs along with descriptions of details and challenges related to its design and construction. In addition, the tour offered the students the freedom to explore the entire building's construction process and showed examples that accommodate the mechanical and electrical services that affect the arrangement and type of structural elements possible in a building.
Before the face-to-face teaching session, students were required to review the software tool as part of their independent study. This offered students the opportunity to get familiarized with the course content before meeting the teacher and offered students alternative means of learning in which active learning strategies are covered such as situational learning.
A qualitative survey was administered to students regarding the tool. The results showed that students felt that the teaching strategy of using the tool improved their understanding of the intricate relationships between engineering design and construction. In addition, students expressed that the tool improved their appreciation of the inter-disciplinary requirements in engineering practice. They also appreciated the opportunity of flexible learning because it allowed them to study the course materials according to their own pace. They believed that having course materials presented electronically gave them more time to think about the content, thus lecture time could be spent more interactively and effectively instead of just reciting the course materials.

A Configurable eLearning System for Industrial Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU)
At the University of Hong Kong (Lau & Mak, 2005), a generic interactive multimedia eLearning system (IMELS) for industrial engineering is created. The following system uses a problem based learning approach and is designed to be a learning program that facilitates users in hosting and delivering knowledge and other web-based materials. The purpose of designing a system that incorporates a problem based learning approach is: (i) to revitalize the teaching and learning process of industrial engineering and (ii) to create a learning platform that transcends the limits of space and time. The content covered in the system includes "a multimedia introduction to industrial engineering", "an electronics knowledgebase" and "a platform that facilitates interactive problem-based learning through real-case problems". The major objectives of the system are: (i) to use the computer-based materials along with traditional teaching; (ii) to use the system as an "up-to-date repository" for practicing experts in the field; and (iii) to update existing materials and to build up new information.
The design of the IMELS also offers the following features: (i) the IMELS is generic such that the computer based material is able to integrate perfectly with the existing curricula. The content and resources developed will also be used to support the teaching of courses within the department including developing video lectures, laboratory sessions, and tutorials to replace or act as a complementary to the existing material; and (ii) the system has the ability to continue developing in the ever evolving industrial and business sector. The system should be reconfigurable without requiring major effort in redesigning it. However activities like withdrawing information and creating new case problems need to be taken care of.
The design of the IMELS in the following study has focused its attention on the "architecture of the virtual company" that supports the problem-based learning model and facilitates teachers in tracking students' learning activities and facilitates dynamic reconfiguration.

Evaluating Learning Experiences in Virtual Laboratory Training through Student Perceptions: A Case Study in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU)
In this ever evolving world of information technology, virtual laboratory (Chan & Fok, 2009) has started to revolutionize engineering education. The development of virtual laboratory has generated discussion about the fundamental learning outcomes of laboratory training courses and has sparked an interest in the consequent changes to the students' learning experiences.
The following study (Chan & Fok, 2009) is an initial phase of a research agenda that focused on investigating the effectiveness of virtual laboratories in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at HKU. The long term goals of the agenda are to explore how effective virtual EEE laboratories are (in terms of: (i) delivering specific learning outcomes; (ii) engaging and motivating students; and (iii) engaging and motivating teachers) and to discover whether the laboratories can ultimately become a replacement of the traditional laboratory training by providing an equivalent and comparable learning experience for students.
In engineering, problem solving, designing, creating and building are critical elements that students need to acquire. In order for students to acquire such elements, theoretical knowledge (through lectures and tutorials) and practical experience (hands-on laboratory sessions) is a must for their education. Laboratory training is absolutely vital in engineering and in most science-related disciplines. It facilitates students to understand and reinforce their theoretical concepts and targets a range of learning outcomes (including experiential learning process that cannot be delivered through lectures and tutorials).
Although there seems to be general consensus that laboratories are indeed necessary, most studies on engineering education tend to focus on curriculum design and innovative in-class or laboratory learning activities and technologies. Therefore the following investigation explores students' perception about laboratories.
The investigation is conducted through the use of a survey that explores students' perceptions in an intensive one-month compulsory summer EEE laboratory training session (that uses both traditional hands-on (3/4) and virtual laboratory (1/4) session). The survey targeted second year students majoring in a three-year honours degree in Computer Science, Industrial, and Electrical Engineering, who are enrolled into the EEE laboratory training session. It contains both open-ended and close-ended questions that explored elements evaluating student perceptions of traditional and virtual laboratories, and on the usage of laboratories. Results were collected from 50 students (13 females and 37 males), with forty-six local students, one international student and two mainland Chinese students, and one who did not indicate either attributes.
Results revealed that students' attitude towards virtual laboratories were generally well-received. However they felt that the traditional laboratories were easier to operate and understand, flexible to use in relation to time and place, and satisfying compared to virtual laboratories. They felt that virtual laboratories are more suited for senior students than first years. In general, students tend to prefer longer laboratory hours for traditional laboratory session rather than virtual laboratory session. Some students also perceived the use of both traditional laboratory and virtual laboratory to be equally important thus the virtual laboratory may not yet be a replacement of the traditional laboratory. However virtual laboratories can serve a supplementary role in addition to the traditional laboratories by facilitating enhanced study outside of laboratory hours.

A Comparison of MCQ Assessment Delivery Methods for Student Engagement and Interaction Used as an In-Class Formative Assessment at the University of Hong Kong (HKU)
In engineering education, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are often widely used for both formative and summative assessment. MCQs are popular to use among engineering practitioners because: (i) they are relatively less time consuming to design; (ii) to answer; (iii) to correct; (iv) to provide feedback; and (v) to administer. They have high reliability, validity, and manageability. Such characteristics along with changes in the higher education environment such as large class size, curriculum changes towards student-centered approach, and the possibility of administering MCQs through the use of technology-enhanced tools are also elements constituting its popularity.
The following study conducted by Chan, Tam, and Li (2011) was designed to compare three different methods of delivering MCQs namely pen & paper, online eLearning (or WebCT Online), and Clickers in terms of their effectiveness on student engagement and interaction used as an in-class formative assessment. The results were also compared to classes not using any in-class formative assessment.
The study was conducted on an elective course (ELEC2601: Human Computer Interaction) offered to Year 2 and 3 students. For each delivery methods, sets of ten non-credit bearing MCQs were written to assess students' knowledge on the topics. The investigation was conducted through administering surveys after the end of each class to examine student perceptions on these different assessment methods. Teachers were also part of the investigation as they were interviewed to gather their experiences and attitudes towards these MCQ methods in relation to the pedagogy used, the learning outcomes, and their perception of students' reaction towards these methods. Apart from the surveys and interviews, an external participant was invited to oversee and evaluate the student's and teacher's attitude during the assessment.
Results were analyzed with respect to these aspects (i) effectiveness of these learning tools and students' engagement towards these tools; (ii) student-to-student interaction (in-class and out of class); (iii) student-to-teacher interaction (in-class); (iv) critical thinking and classroom behavior; (v) assessment; and (vi) overall satisfaction.
Results revealed that among the learning tools introduced, students agreed that Clickers (69%) were highly effective as a learning tool for teaching and learning followed by Web CT online MCQs (63%). However unexpectedly, students also agreed to a large extent that pen & paper (63%) also had such an effect. Regarding the level of engagement, students were neutral about WebCT online MCQs and pen & paper. In fact, 25% of the students disagreed that WebCT online MCQs could improve engagement.
82% of the students agreed that Clickers increased student-to-student interaction in class; however 56% of them were neutral about whether its use in class improves student-to-student interaction out of class. Students who agreed that WebCT online MCQs and pen & paper increased student-to-student interaction in class are only 44% and 37% respectively. Even fewer students agreed on its increase in interaction out of class.
Both Clickers and WebCT online MCQs helped students feel more connected to the teacher. 44% of the students agreed that they seemed to know the teacher better as a result of the in class interaction with the use of these respective tools compared to a class conducted without the use of these tools. For pen & paper, there were only 25%. In terms of increased interaction and discussion with the use of Clickers, students (69%) felt that they themselves achieved increased interaction and discussion using Clickers, whereas 81% of the students felt that the teacher achieved that.
In addition, using Clickers and WebCT online MCQs enhanced students' critical thinking in classroom and improved their attention during lecture. Half of the students agreed that Clickers increased their willingness to ask questions in class. While fewer than 20% agreed for WebCT online MCQs and pen & paper. Students agreed that Clickers (69%) and WebCT online MCQs (62%) motivated them to question and monitor their own understanding of the concepts during class. Although there are slightly more than half of the students who agreed that Clickers helped improved their attention in class similar to that of WebCT online MCQs, for pen & paper the reception was fairly low in comparison to the two previous methods.
Regarding assessment, 50% of the students were neutral about using Clickers, WebCT online MCQs, or pen & paper as an assessable in-class exercise. Based on the findings, students would prefer answering the assessment using pen & paper (60%) more than Clickers (44%) and WebCT online MCQs (57%) if the in-class exercise was assessed because pen & paper may seem more formal.
Among the methods introduced students ranked Clickers to be their first choice followed by WebCT online MCQs and pen & paper. Students (51%) were both satisfied and extremely satisfied with the use of Clickers and pen & paper. However for WebCT online MCQs the satisfaction rate is lower.
Apart from students' responses, results from teachers' interviews indicate that teachers found that students paid more attention when Clickers were used and were certainly more engaged in the class. Although the person overseeing the assessment process noticed that there was minimal interaction among students about the discussion of the questions because the teachers did not encourage students to interact or discuss the questions, however, students did interact among each other during the distribution of the Clicker.
Even though the MCQ designed targets lower-order cognitive level knowledge, the external participant agreed that students were all engaged during these non-credit bearing MCQ sessions. However with WebCT, teachers found little interaction in class as the opportunity of giving and receiving feedback is not as good as that of Clickers. In fact, the use of WebCT as an in-class formative assessment seems to have negative effects as observed by both the teacher and the participant.

Try to not let the title ruin the read for you, I kind of made it on the fly and didn't think about changing it until I was done. Alas.
This idea came up in my head just today after some random documentary about archaeology popped up on TV. Read it and let me know what you think.

Our Adult Formation Book Club will begin "White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide" by Carol Anderson, Ph.D. The first discussion will cover the Prologue and section one.
About White Rage
As Ferguson, Missouri, erupted in August 2014, and media commentators across the ideological spectrum referred to the angry response of African Americans as "black rage," historian Carol Anderson wrote a remarkable op-ed in the Washington Post showing that this was, instead, "white rage at work. With so much attention on the flames," she writes, "everyone had ignored the kindling."

I was low on trans points so to avoid getting kicked out of the cabal, I made a Twine game. It's called Explain Menstrual Periods To Me Like IAMA [Cis] Man and it's based on that thing I never talk about even though it got on the front page of reddit. Here are some of the totally sincere adjectives my twitter friends have had to say about it:
- Excellent
- Truthful
- Intelligent
- Brilliant
No download necessary, the link should take you right there. Be warned that the period described is a heavy one with side-effects somewhat reminiscent of depression and social anxiety.
*kisses hormone blockers*
Update: it was featured on FreeIndieGames! Porpentine played my game! Eeeee!
I'm working on two more, just in case the first one doesn't satisfy the trans gods. One's a Derren Brown fanfiction and the other involves tentacle monsters. Exciting times.

The OBRS Series is a range of six highly cost effective HD-SDI and HDMI routing switchers, each in compact 1RU, rack mount chassis with a front control panel. These routers are ideal for edit suites or in engineering racks, saving time by switching signal at the press of a button, negating the need to patch or remove cables when signals need to be shared amongst numerous devices. The combined SDI and HDMI routers have 8 SDI inputs and 8 SDI outputs and either 2, 4 or 6 HDMI inputs with real-time signal conversion, converting SDI signals to HDMI and vice versa, allowing, for example, an HD-SDI signal to be output as an HDMI signal.

Tom Jurich Had To Go
There is no way to start a story you thought you'd never write. Uncharted territory doesn't begin to describe it.
"You can't make this up," Board of Trustees chair, David Grissom, told the media.
Et Tu, Brute?
I stood on the Louisville campus and felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. Tom Jurich arrived, dressed in all black and was flocked by reporters. It was the most surreal moment of my life.
Jurich has always been in control of the moment, always calm, cool and collected. And for the brief five-minute walk from Grawemeyer Hall to his all-black sports car – he wasn't. It was poetic, in a sense. Here it was, his final moments of total control dissolving under the shadow of the iconic 'Thinker' statue – the most recognizable feature of a campus he helped overhaul.
It's worth mentioning that Jurich hasn't been exactly relieved of his duties, but that's a simple contract formality. After 30 days of due process has passed, he will be.
This day for the University of Louisville had to come. To think otherwise is to show the same blind loyalty that may have doomed Jurich himself. On multiple occasions over the last few months, Jurich has reportedly been asked to fire Rick Pitino. He refused then and this week was no different. Kendrick Lamar said it best: "loyalty, loyalty, loyalty." Even when the price to pay was the highest.
Yes, Louisville has had unprecedented athletic success under Jurich.
Yes, Louisville largely received the invite to the ACC because of Jurich.
His results are unmistakable and his place in the Mt. Rushmore of Louisville athletics is cemented. There is nothing that can ever change that, no matter the size of the scandal. But make no mistake about it: Tom Jurich is not bigger than the University of Louisville.
"Doing nothing is a tacit approval of criminal behavior," Interim Louisville President Greg Postel said on Wednesday.
I couldn't agree more. Doing nothing would continue to smear the degrees of Louisville alumni. It would smear the fans who have given everything to the program. It would continue to damage the reputation of the many who surround a school that is much more than sports. They don't deserve it. You don't deserve it.
There were coaches hired by Athletic Directors before Tom Jurich, and there were milestones achieved by those Athletic Directors. There were no FBI investigations or hooker scandals. The hire of a legend in Rick Pitino was made by Tom Jurich. The hires of legends in Denny Crum and Howard Schnellenberger were made by others. There was a National Championship in basketball while he was here. There was a National Championship stripped away in basketball while he was here. There were two National Championships in basketball before he arrived. There were two National Championships in basketball that weren't stripped away before he arrived. Louisville will be fine.
One could ask what Tom Jurich has done and you could tell them to drive down Floyd Street to look. You can't ignore that, and it would be foolish to do so.
You also can't ignore Tom Jurich praising Adidas for its loyalty to Louisville. Then Adidas being at the forefront of the biggest scandal in college basketball history.
You can't ignore a guy bullying representatives that surround the University of Louisville. You can't ignore a guy refusing to consider different viewpoints, ever.
You can't run from facts. You can't ignore a culture of arrogance.
There may not be a community tied more to its basketball program than the one of Louisville. There assuredly isn't a state tied more to its basketball programs than the state of Kentucky. When you grow up here or when you move here, at any age, you realize that basketball is the lifeline of Louisville. It represents a beacon of hope and an escape for people who may not have much in their lives. For too long, it's been full of shame. Enough is enough.
Louisville fans suffered through three of the most embarrassing years in memory. Maybe even more embarrassment than any fan of any college program has ever suffered. Today was their validation. Today somebody stood up for them.
They had to watch a team not play in the postseason and took constant jabs from those around them. How did Louisville respond? They rose basketball ticket prices. They had audits that revealed a lot of cash going to every place that it shouldn't. They had two assistant coaches conspiring to cheat in a Las Vegas hotel. All of this only 35 days after being labelled the first team to be stripped of a National Championship. Jurich was at the forefront of that. It happened under his watch. You don't get to celebrate all the accomplishments and have no blame. That's called leadership. That's why Tom Jurich made a different salary than the equipment manager.
You cannot allow a person who refused to be held accountable or to hold others accountable to be the face of a community. One of them has to happen, or you have to go. The basketball program and its years of legacy are more important than one, two, or ten people. The University of Louisville is better than that and the city of Louisville is better than that.
I'm not sure where Louisville goes from here. It is a dark day for the University. Yet the sun has to set before it can rise again. Had Louisville continued down the path with Tom Jurich, they would have been prolonging darkness. It's time to put Louisville back in the bright light. The only way to get there is to get through the night first.

Every frugal nut (like me) says they'll do a no-spend month… some people even extend the no-spend challenge to a quarter or whole year!
But it's easier to say you'll try it than actually try it. There's always just that one little thing we want to treat ourselves to. I know that's the main reason I was putting off a no-spend month.
However necessity forced me to take the plunge and do a no-spend month in May. Here's my no-spend Month in review to encourage you all to take the challenge. It wasn't THAT bad.
Since my Childcare Rebate was unexpectedly cut off in late March as I had hit the threshold for the financial year (thanks for the warning, Family Assistance Office!) I needed to find an extra $300 per month for the three days that I send my daughter to childcare.
Covering the extra $300 for the next three months was going to be tough. So, I decided to try 'No-spend May.'
I get paid monthly. Money goes in, money goes straight back out as I pay all the bills straight away, set aside the monthly budget for groceries and travel to work. What is left on day one of my pay-cycle must last me an entire month, including direct debits.
I used this expense tracker to keep track of all of my income and expenses. It allowed me to see how much spare cash I had left after bills were paid
The rules of no-spend month:
These are simple. No spending on non-essentials.
What are the essentials, you ask?
It's simple. Groceries in the weekly shop, public transport for work, fuel, my dentist appointment and any emergencies for Ella (if she needs new shoes for a growth spurt or medicine if she gets sick). I had also allowed myself the one meal (entrée size) for my best friend's birthday lunch at a winery that I had committed to weeks before deciding to do no-spend May.
This means, random coffees on the way to work, impromptu lunches with colleagues, a new skirt because it was on sale… These are all out this month, and maybe next month too. I am even making my mum's Mother's Day present from the fabric I have in my stash.
What was difficult?
About one week into my no-spend month, I smashed my contour kit. I was getting ready for work at 5am (YAY for 7am starts) and in my sleepy stupor I tripped over the bathmat and dropped the contouring palette when I was doing my makeup.
SMASH! All six shades (it has face powder, under eye powder along with bronzers and contour shades,) were completely unsalvageable. So I had to wait three weeks to purchase a new contour kit.
One of my colleagues asked why I looked so pale…Trust me, it wasn't by choice.
How did I track two weeks in?
Apart from not being able to replace the smashed makeup palette, it was been surprisingly easier than I thought. Probably because there is a Nespresso machine in my building at work and I can drink all the coffee in the world there.
HAHA. All jokes aside though. I was so focused on where I could pinch pennies and reduce waste in our house that I didn't have time to be miserable about not being able to treat myself to a coffee or purchase that essential oil kit I really wanted that month.
How did the rest of the month go?
Although it got harder, it wasn't as bad as a thought.
The worst thing was, all those little ad hoc purchases built up and I had a few things to purchase once my next pay came in.
I ended up with $105 left in my account the day my next pay came in because I had to add fuel to my car after an emergency car drive to my mums (mums house is 100km away from us). This is more than I ever have in my account on my next payday.
For June, I managed to scrimp a few extra pennies by putting my gym membership on hold for 3 months. That saved an extra $75 a month. I wish I had thought to do that for my No-spend May.
Would I do no-spend month again? MOST DEFINITELY. I enjoyed having a little buffer in my account on payday. A few months of that is a nice tidy deposit into the savings account.
Have you done a no-spend month? How did it go? Did you find any tips and tricks to make it easier? Leave your comments below and share your experience.

Our lodge is a beautiful one, away from the general array, it overlooks the courtyard if you can call one, the swings and the walking area, the pool was away, so no sight of any nymph and Eliot's morbid men who plunge to kill the hangover after a good drink in the trickle of a bugging rain which is so Matheran -specific!!Our room was the deluxe bedroom on top, we had to climb a flight of steep wooden stairs to get there, one step you miss and you land on your derrière which can be pretty painful and dangerous if you have water and monkeys around. Caution, caution!!
We met a bunch of monkeys near our door and shoo-ed them like shoo-shoo, go away boys and girls!! Small puddles of water everywhere, yayy, we have a room!!
The disaster only began, you wont believe all our bags got heavier by 3 kilos because of the rain water that seeped so happily!! either we were naive not to pack our clothes in plastic bags or we were dumb not to expect rain!! or both!!
So, the unpacking was an agonizing experience, all of us looked like drowned rats!!Everything in my bag was not spared save some unmentionables and my toiletries, the picture in the room is well, like this,
3 girls who switched all the fans on to dry their clothes from the bag and outside the bag, no electricity and no hot water, no country coal iron,no what more, :( :( :(
The room was damp-ish, were we imagining or the room was actually cold?? switched off the AC, tried to keep our trekking shoes in suspension so that the water runs down and the shoes get lighter, the exhaust of the AC was slightly helpful, thank god for small mercies!!
Took pains to hang/peg our clothes in every possible place, including the fridge door and TV, tried to get the dryer guy to dry our damp/wet clothes, he will come in the evening, :(
entered the bathroom, spacious slanting like the roof, I thought, but good when I just thought that was some private space, the monkeys broke my reverie and outside the commode window, touching the roof, I can see my lesser fortunate ancestors screeching!! I waited for them to disappear.
Ramya enjoyed some sleep in her unchanged train attire, Supi went shopping for some essentials, wore fresh wet clothes and asked us to be ready for breakfast at 11:30 am.
Looked presentable, went downstairs to check on the male Hakunas, the situation was even worse there, thick heavy jeans oozing with water and jackets and tees gone! How much can you squeeze water from already wet clothes to make them wearable, but body heat is also something, I reckon, ready for breakfast??
Breakfast was pleasant and we gulped quite a lot, travel plans announced and also the social bit.
Hakunas decided to travel/explore on our own.
Let me mention this before I forget, this is to do with Gowtham's new talent of remixes. He happened to hum a song from Dil Chahta Hai and the 2nd verse went wrong, he was trying to recover that badly but no luck for quite sometime, not to say that his efforts were not genuine and sincere :)
He happened to share umbrella space with me, when I found his notes going to rapper Akon's Lonely song!! That's blasphemy, of course now he knows the song by heart!!
We got plastic raincoats for 15 bucks and hats to act as rainguards, very Mexican in cut and taste!! We trekked for almost 2 hours. Echo point is breathtaking and also, an old bungalow full of moss and lichens before losing our way ,courtesy Luqman and coming to the lodge for lunch, lunch was forgettable, coz after that, I was very de-motivated to travel in a weather which was my usual fare in Shillong daily during the rainy season.So, Ramya and I decided to give the slip and acted very pricey, we managed also!!
We slept the entire afternoon and watched TV, can you beat that??!!! We had lot of similar tastes and views about so many things, bitched a little too much, at least I did!! and the near horrors of the trip!!
Sometime at 5:30-6 in the evening, Suparna came back, exhausted in the rain-walk and snoozed and Krishna came to give us company chatting.The dryer guy came, cajoled him to taking all our clothes and return them by 9pm that evening, he fleeced us bountifully, but musibat ke samay mein gadha ko bhi baap banao.Pardon the not fitting idiom!!
Lot of PYTs in the pool, our male Hakunas also had their voyeuristic moments :) when we find out something happened to Mallik, Gowtham and Ram, now what?? So Krishna fed them with brownies, stale or not stale, let's not get into the details ;)
Gowtham is also very accident prone, btw!! He and the rest used to tease me and my bag, potli baba ki bag, that bag had medicines and all the 1st aid he required for himself and also a couple of others, ahem ahem he offered help very gallantly. Seriously,they all looked all so duh! Somuda, Ramya and I went to the male bastion to check on the seriousness, Ram looked in some kind of stupor, not actually induced but the brownies did it!So, Ram, the photographer had himself locked out coz his roomies left for a walk and he was there, lying on a small diwan, absolutely knocked out by a brownie, zzzzzzzzzzz!
Mallik tried to look controlled but you can't hide for long, the brownie gave him a royal ache!!
Gowtham probably resigned to his fate that such things happen to him only, haha!!
Some newfound friend of Vardhman is also amongst us, I especially don't like the person concerned's awwwful presence, big pseudo-moofat he is!!So, before these guys assume it's a food poisoning case, I give my gyan on the presence of rum in the brownie preparation, the chap does not like me or my two cents, he makes the mistake of opening his mouth and saying something that is not very Kiran happy or worthy!! I was not in a barraging mood, so I spared him with a gentle but snide remark on his ignorance and his geographical limitations! He has never spoken to me after that :D, he did try to make amends at some other time, but a royal ignore is hard to miss and if it comes with an arrogant dismissal, it's worse!!
I get worked up pretty fast and after that to ward off unnecessary nuisance, we hit the dance floor and jigged a lot, Ramya and I danced and danced, Supi slept and slept!
Never saw the guys dance so much and yeah, the moves were scary!! ;)
Retired to sleep with a pledge to wake up early for a possible walk to Lake Charlotte. I refused giving my umby to some insignificant soul and my dried clothes came back, yay!!

National crisis calls for more than sweet FA
According to the FA, it is "a routine" board meeting on Thursday. Routine like another wretched performance by England at the World Cup finals. Routine like the FA operating as a dysfunctional mess.
"Routine" may be one way of describing this week's gathering of English's football leaders but the rest of us hoped it might be something rather more significant. Historic, even.
The English game has been revealed, perhaps as never before, to be in need of a long, painful period of self-examination. The World Cup has underlined how the Premier League boom has no correlation to a strong national team, and may undermine it.
The tournament has also revealed, with 19 million watching England's round-of-16 defeat by Germany, that this country remains passionate about…

Hucknall's guide to good parenting
SIMPLY RED singer MICK HUCKNALL has the answer to the U.K.'s youth crime explosion - tough-love parenting.
The Stars hitmaker has blasted mums and dads who try to be "best mates" with their children, insisting guidance and reasonable discipline are needed to keep kids from going off the rails.
Hucknall, who has a 19 month old daughter Romy, says, "I would like to see the end of this God-awful state of affairs with too many parents wanting to be their child's best mate - 'I go out drinking with my son' or 'I go out pulling men with my daughter'. That is doing incredible damage.
"Parents should be giving guidance to their kids about who they will be when they grow up. That doesn't mean disciplining them all the time but it does mean that you have to explain the realities of life."

Sit back and get ready to take a tour of some of the hottest Latino celebs to grace your screen — a lot of them picked by you in these comments, lovingly organized in list form by us. Thank you/you're most very welcome.
Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars, né Peter Gene Hernandez, stormed onto the music scene back in 2010 with the release of his "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" album, which brought us hits like "Just The Way You Are" and "Grenade." Jump to 2014 and the release of "Uptown Funk," and it was clear that this man had swag for days. Like, literally, so much swag just drips of him and his smooth moves that we don't know how to handle it.
Jesús "Chino" Miranda
Lo mejor de la vida consiste en tener siempre algo que hacer, alguien a quien amar y un sueño por el cual luchar. ?✌

If you've never heard of Jesús "Chino" Miranda, then you have been severely missing out. This walking statue of perfection is part of the wildly popular Venezuelan reggaeton duo Chino Y Nacho. Though he has gotten rid of his flowing locks of hair, this Venezolano will still make your heart melt when you catch a glimpse of his beautiful smile. ?
Ricky Martin

All the way from Puerto Rico, Ricky Martin has been driving women and men crazy with his gyrating hips long before he had the U.S. dancing to "Livin' La Vida Loca." Now a father to twins, he's the perfect example of Latino men aging like fine wine. Every year gets better and better, and we will continue to be here for this man.
Tristan Wilds

You might think that Tristan Wilds got his big break thanks to Adele's music video for "Hello," but this Dominican slice of heaven has been in the game long before that. Do you remember a little movie called "Red Tails" or the CW revival of "90210"? Either way, Wilds has proven to be a damn good actor with a smile that could light up all of Hollywood.
Rafael Amaya
Pórtense mal y cuídense bien, Felices Fiestas!

Don't look at Rafael Amaya straight on unless you are ready to deal with his sultry eyes piercing through to your soul. This Mexican telenovela star has made quite the name of himself as a telenovela tour de force. From his uncredited appearances on "Ugly Betty" to playing Aurelio Casillas on "El Señor de los Cielos," there is never a time when women and men don't swoon over this 6'2″ drink of water. ????
Thiago Silva
É hoje o grande dia … sorteio da Copa do mundo .. Bom dia a todos

This Brazilian-born futbolista might look like just another boy next door, but don't let that fool you. Thiago Silva is all over the place, literally, playing fútbol for the Brazilian national team, as well as Paris Saint-Germain. The best part about this sexy af athlete are those plump and pouty lips. Like, who wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a Silva kiss?
Mauricio Ochmann

Another Mexicano from the "El Señor de los Cielos" cast, Mauricio Ochmann has the kind of attitude and temperament suitable for a future hubby. Not to mention he was the total heart throb in "7 Mujeres 1 Homosexual Y Carlos." Those puppy dog eyes are enough to make us weak in the knees and fall into his oh-so defined arms. Plus, who doesn't love a good-looking straight man who is totally down for complete and total equality for the LGBTQ community? Answer: NO ONE.
Oscar Isaac

Guatemalan-Cuban actor Oscar Isaac is just the right amount of no-f*cks-given rolled into a very handsome package. Not only has he proven his acting chops over and over again in movies like "Ex-Machina," this dude has so many other talents. Remember when he showed the world the best way to eat Flamin' Hot Cheetos? Sorry, I seemed to have lost the ability to breathe.
Carmelo Anthony
"The struggle of life is, and always will be, a struggle against your own weak¬nesses. Will you become cowardly and think, "I can't do this. I'm certain to fail"? Or will you challenge the difficulties that lie ahead with the conviction, "I am strong. And I can become stronger still"? Your destiny in life will vary greatly depending on the spirit that you maintain." #StayMe7o

Carmelo Anthony, a prolific scorer in the NBA, is the 6'8″ puertorriqueño dreamboat the New York Knicks needed when he was traded over from the Denver Nuggets in 2011. But it isn't his reliable shooting record we care about, no. We are here for this rugged good looks and those ever-so-sexy tattoos he has creeping up around his jersey.
Aarón Díaz
El que se meta con mis carnales se las tendrá que ver con Arturo Gallardo. No se pierdan #TierraDeReyes esta noche 9:00PM por @Telemundo

This studmuffin all the way from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, has always had a way of stopping people in their tracks and taking the breath right out of 'em. Even when Aarón Díaz is posing with his adorable daughter, dude knows how to put those hypnotizing eyes to work. We are all still trying to figure out why in the hell Kate del Castillo let this prime hunk of man out of her life.
Laz Alonso
Turn that frown upside down… With brown…. #transformationtuesday #pregala #shenanigans #gala #greenroom

Laz Alonso, a first generation Cuban-American, has been heating up screens both big and small. Not only did this Cuban vision of beauty play Fenix in "Fast & Furious" (still waiting for him to handcuff me, if we're being honest), but he's also been in "Avatar" and, most recently, "The Mysteries of Laura." ? *sets DVR for a show I've never heard of*
Édgar Ramírez

What is it with these hunky Venezolanos all over the place?! You might recognize Édgar Ramírez from "Joy," where he acted alongside Jennifer Lawrence. Does he have great acting skills? Sure. But can we take a minute and just admire the sexual appeal that comes from being a hairy and buff Latino. Seriously, there is nothing better than finding that perfect, cuddly teddy bear, even if you have to stand outside looking through his window. #NotPersonalExperienceOrAnything ?
Romeo Santos
Feliz Navidad y Prospero año Nuevo

Every girl, guy, dog and cat just could NOT get enough of Aventura, especially the Dominican-Puerto Rican Romeo Santos. Not only can we not stop looking at his trademark dimple, we also just want one or two hours holding his muscle-bound arms. Just imagine how great it must feel to have him hold you like you were the only person in the world. ? Tell me that you love me / And you need me ? Please!
Alexis Sánchez
Momento de alegría , rabia , tristeza etc… Después del penal ???? disfruten ?? .. moment of joy, anger, sadness etc… Enjoy???

If you're not a football fan, get ready to start caring. Arsenal fans really lucked out when Alexis Sánchez started to grace their pitch in 2014. This Chilean dreamboat is everything you could ever want in a futbolista fantasy. How can you NOT watch an Arsenal game when you get to keep your eyes on those rippling shoulders and perfectly styled hair? Seriously. #TeamAlexis or GTFO.
Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez
Me encanta NYC. Nos vemos en unos minutos. I love NYC. See you all in a few minutes #TEAMCANELO #CaneloKhan
A photo posted by Saul Alvarez (@canelo) on
Credit: @canelo / Instagram
Yes. Gingers exist in every race and ethnicity, and Mexican pro boxer Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez is one of them. The World Boxing Council middleweight champion has been killing the boxing game just like he is knocking us all out with his chiseled jaw and shredded abs. Tbh, it's a little hard to watch him in the ring. Not because we don't like his boxing style or kickass performance, but because we just don't want to see that pretty face damaged.
Laith Ashley De La Cruz

If you've never heard of Laith Ashley De La Cruz, well, now you're welcome. De La Cruz is one of the hottest Latino Instagrammers, with more than 70,000 followers. This Dominican model first made his appearance in Barney's "Brothers, Sisters, Sons & Daughters" campaign celebrating the beauty of trans models. De La Cruz was only one month into his transition when he was photographed by Bruce Weber. But, like, for real. Those lips are perfection!
Kid Cudi
Credit: @kidcudi / Instagram
Kid Cudi is probably what all your dreams are made of. Not only does the man know how to get you and all your amigos dancing and vibing, he is also the most adorable musician on Instagram. The best part is this Mexican-American singer doesn't take himself too seriously, and he isn't so self-involved that he just fills his social media with selfie after selfie. Instead, this man sticks to giving the fans what they want… a good mix of sexy selfies and sexy performance photos. #Range
Michael Peña
I'm doing the squinty eye thing that I told myself to never do. #waroneveryone

We all fell in love with Michael Peña when he played Cesar Chavez, and he sure knew how to scare the hell out of us in "The Vatican Tapes" as Father Lozano. Tbh, he was probably the main reason you went to see "The Martian." Every time this Mexicano hits the big screen, we are all reminded that the "boy next door" look never looked so good. It's a good thing we don't live in his neighborhood or we would seriously never get anything done. *peers through blind*
A photo posted by Miguel (@miguel) on

Seriously. Can anyone, ANYONE, point out a moment in his career when Miguel didn't ooze sex appeal? Didn't think so. So, instead of trying to figure out if his sexuality and appeal have any restrictions, let's just sit back and stare intently at this gorgeous smile and beautiful hair. Maybe if we stare heard enough he'll eventually Adorn us with some of that loving. ?
Adam Rodriguez
Can't thank you guys enough for joining in on my Facebook Q&A tonight! We'll definitely have more of them in the near future, so stay tuned, and make sure you check out the latest episode of @cwjanethevirgin on Monday and my new podcast @officialrodcast on Soundcloud (http://bit.ly/rodcastsc5) and iTunes (http://bit.ly/rodcasti5).

Adam Rodriguez is the professor we ALL wish we had while we were in school. Attendance would be high and consistent af if this Puerto Rican/Cuban papi was the one dropping all that knowledge. And that adorably cock-eyed smile just makes it all the better, amiright? Does anyone know if the "Jane the Virgin" sex bomb does private tutoring? I promise not to kiss his sweater. ?
Mario Lopez

A photo posted by Mario Lopez (@mariolopezextra) on

Since his "Saved By The Bell" days Mario Lopez has cornered the market on sexy Latinos in mainstream media. And while he might always have a clean-shaven look, his swole arms and come-over-here smile are EVERYTHING. Ahem, did I mention I love the Dodgers? This picture had no sway on that opinion.

The whole world collectively cried when this Chilean heartthrob was (spoiler alert?) violently killed off on HBO's hit show "Game of Thrones." It's like the creators of the show just wanted GoT to lose all of the sexiness he brought to the television screen. Thankfully, Netflix jumped on the opportunity to have this man up their sexy Latino content with his role in "Narcos."
Prince Royce

Is there anyone left who hasn't fallen head over heels for this Dominican singer? Seriously. Those lips and smile are enough to make any woman or man drop everything and hang on every last word he sings. Plus, it's not easy to out-sexy Jennifer Lopez like Prince Royce did in the "Back It Up" music video. All you need to do is call and I will be there to stand right by you, boo!
Ezequiel Lavezzi

Hebei China Fortune is definitely fortunate (?) with the addition of this smoking Argentine vision of beauty. While he is drop-dead gorgeous in his soccer uniform, his fashion sense makes him the best dressed player to ever grace your computer screen. Like, what was Paris Saint-Germain even thinking by letting this guy go? Though, you can't really blame him for going after the offer to make him the richest soccer player in the world.

You no doubt know about this man from his Emmy-nominated role on "American Crime," but this dude has a past that would make most people scared. The former gang member has really been able to turn his life around and, in turn, has become an inspiration to millions. It also doesn't hurt that Richard Cabral is so damn fine! There is something about a skinny dude with long hair and tats that gets your attention.

Al Madrigal gave all Latino Jon Stewart fans someone they could finally relate to. As the senior Latino correspondent, he was able to give his reporting that Mexican twist we didn't even know we were missing. As his career has grown and we've watched him report story after story, we have slowly and surely fallen in love with this adorable goofball's cute looks and sense of humor. #TeamAlMadrigal

No sexy Latino list is complete without everyone's favorite futbolista, Chicharito. This man has brought so many people over to the world of fútbol (this writer included). From his playful smile to the funny videos he's been part of, there is nothing this guy can't do. There's just one question: When are we going to Germany to watch our favorite Mexicano fútbol star take on Europe?!
