Painted: An Adventure in Stop Motion Body Art
Painted is an experiment in stop motion face and body painting that plays with the idea of giving paint it's own life and personality on a living canvas. The whole project was initially inspired by BLU's stop motion video MUTO.
The video is imagined, painted, modelled, photographed and edited by Elvis Schmoulianoff.

Millie Brown Paints With Her Vomit
I have to say, that this completely gross me out! And yet I find it interesting. And odd. And disgusting. And, like, trying too hard to stand out. I seriously get sick to my stomach just looking at it.
Performance artist Millie Brown uses her body in an uncomfortable way in order to create bright splashes of color on canvas – and sometimes clothes and people. She mixes colors into soy milk before regurgitating the milk onto her preferred canvas, akin to the drip-color style of Jackson Pollock.
Responses to her work have varied, ranging from laughing to crying, declarations of love, and even death threats, but Brown maintains that art is supposed to inspire powerful emotions in people.
"I have an inherent desire to push my own boundaries within my art… By creating art from the very depths of my own physical being I am able to challenge people's perception of beauty, expressing raw elements of human nature and in turn challenging myself both physically and mentally", Millie Brown says.

Portraits by Andrew Salgado
Artist Andre Salgado wows us with a new body of work completed in the last few months for exhibitions at Le Petite Mort Gallery, and an upcoming solo show titled "The Acquaintance" at the Art Gallery of Regina. Salgado's large-scale figurative paintings are comprised of deftly placed smears and drips of spray paint that charge each work with gritty, almost intangible hints of energy.

Professor Claudia Diaz Teaches Human Anatomy By Painting Students Bodies
At RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, lecturer Claudia Diaz has implemented an unconventional project in order to inspire her anatomy students. After teaching human anatomy for over 20 years, Diaz decided to try something new as she found the regular routine of anatomical memorization boring and uninspired. Over the past 3 years, Diaz has explored human anatomy with her students by having them paint the bodies of 10 students, revealing tendons and bones that would be visible if the person's skin were stripped. Featured in these photographs is chiropractic student Zac O'Brien who patiently sat for around 18 hours while fellow students painted him. The finished result is what Diaz likes to call "anatomical man," first brought to one of her classes in 2010.
"We walked him in and I still remember the looks on the kids' faces. They were just in awe," she said. "I realised it shocked them, it inspired them and it motivated them." Previously shy about taking off their clothes so classmates could study their bodies, the students began to shed their inhibitions through this painting exercise. "I couldn't get the kids to keep their clothes on. They were all throwing them off," Dr Diaz said.

Portraits by KwangHo Shin
All the figures appearing in Korean artist KwangHo Shin's works are individuals and self-portraits.
"The spirit he wanted to inspire the figures with is that of a distorted hero's or another character unidentifiable with eyes. Majority of specific people are the figures whom he depicts. He distorts a figure trying not to transform the mind and social environment unique to him. It is not the transformation from a person to no person, but from a specific to an ordinary person. He himself is flown into it. It is the method to include his own artistic experience and value. Though it is not clear where to use, works of arts become the criteria in grasping the reality. They reveal thinking while making the figure seen thinking. A specific person is thought while lump of dyes are loaded on a canvas. It's inefficient to say 'painted with a brush'. The lump moves freely all over the canvas without staying at a point. A face is treated as the spirit of common people who gaze at the world, rather than as a person. The biggest significance is put on the expression of the inner mind when facing an empty canvas. It is a way of revealing it as a thing to the world rather than representing a person. This is his second characteristics."

Timelapse Video of Hundreds of Snails Tagged with LEDs at Night
As part of ongoing research into the transmission of lungworm from snails to dogs, a team of researchers from the Ecology department at the University of Exeter lead by Dr. Dave Hodgson created an experiment to track the movement of snails through a garden at night.
The team tagged hundreds of live snails with an array of LEDs and UV paint and then tracked their speed and patterns of movement at night. Apparently lungworm infections are potentially fatal in dogs and nobody is exactly sure how the organisms make the leap from snails to dogs in the first place, though the assumption is accidental ingestion.
If you want to skip the research story, and jump straight to the snail, which glows in the dark, start the video around 2:15.

Read a F*cking Zine: 50 Zines by Queer People of Color
Inspired by this year's International Zine Month activities and Allied Media Conference, POC Zine Project founder Daniela Capistrano collaborated with artist/activist Nia King, Queer Zine Archive Project and Barnard Zine Library to curate a list of 50 zines made by QTPOC (Queer and/or Trans-Identified People of Color).
As QZAP notes on their website, "people of color started the radical queer revolution and kick started the queer zine scene." There are many QTPOC zines on qzap.org, nearly a hundred at Barnard and thousands more out there in the world; this list is not meant to represent all zines created by QTPOC. Use it as a rabbit hole of sorts on your path toward discovering more queer zines by people of color.

Welcome to the MN Society of Costumers Web Site!
MNSOC is going to be hosting several events coming up and we want you to be there! Put these on your calendar:
October 18, 2014: MNSOC Steampunk Sale of the Century
December 13, 2014: Fezziwig's Steampunk Christmas Carol
We will be posting more information once we have the details figured out. We will be looking for vendors for the sale, so stay tuned for more information about selling your wares!
We hope to see you all there!
Hello from the MN Society of Costumers!
Welcome to the website for the Minnesota Society of Costumers, or MNSOC. MNSOC was formed in 2010 as a place for Minnesota costume enthusiasts to learn from and support one another. MNSOC is not just a place for people who make costumes, but also for people who like to wear them as well.
In the past year and a half we have seen amazing growth in terms of members, benefits and dedication to our organization. Our Facebook page currently boasts over 325 people.
We have monthly "Sewing & Crafting" gatherings for folks to share info, ask questions, etc. in regards to costuming they are working on. We are supportive of other area groups, events, and conventions. MNSOC itself hosts costume mixers, educational classes, costume/textile sales, as well as other costume related events.
The website and forums are free to all who are interested in costuming, but paid membership in MNSOC is even BETTER. You get discounts at area sewing supply stores like Joann Fabrics, bead stores like Bobby Bead, discounts on tickets to MNSOC events and your own private forum on the MNSOC website.
We are excited and proud to be a chapter of the International Costumer's Guild (ICG), and hope you will join us as an official member.

Poor people:
There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy's father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.
On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!
Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.
It wasn't long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn't lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn't wait to tell his father.
Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.
Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
"You have done very well, my son," he smiled, "but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same."
The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.
"When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wounds will still be there."

paper marbling
fill a tray with water. blow, fan, stir, dab, and drag paint or colored ink across its surface. put a sheet of washi paper on top to stain it with the floating art.
though called "turkish" paper marbling by europeans, this design technique was developed in east asia, central asia, and the islamic world. it is an important part of turkic, tajik, indian, and other asian and middle eastern cultures.
this just gave me such an arts&crafts boner.

Lip-lockers look to break last year's record
By Candace Sipos -- firstname.lastname@example.com
WINCHESTER -- "All you gotta do is carry your lips."
That's the message Ben Weber, coordinator of the city's Big Kiss event, wants to get out.
He came up with the idea to set a Virginia record for the most people to kiss simultaneously last year, and 97 couples came out to the downtown pedestrian mall for the cause the Saturday before Valentine's Day.
"I was just trying to think of what can we do for Valentine's Day," Weber said. "Why not? Listen, things don't have to be complicated in this world. Sometimes the beauty of a simple kiss is the most exciting."
He plans to expand the event every year. For this year's try at breaking last year's record, which will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Weber has secured blood pressure screening and other health checks. If participants donate to the American Cancer Society or the American Heart Association, they will receive raffle tickets to win prizes donated by local merchants, he said.
All proceeds will go to the American Heart Association.
The actual kissing will occur at 2 p.m. in front of the old courthouse.
"This is going to last a long time because we will continue to break the record every year," he said, adding that he expects much more participation this time around.
He has been in contact with representatives from Hershey's and Chapstick about possible sponsorship for future years. While the event doesn't make any money for the city or merchants, it's designed to draw people into downtown.
Weber emphasized that any couple can come out -- whether it's a romantic or family oriented couple. Last year, some parents kissed their children on the cheek or forehead.
"It was the ultimate public display of affection," he said. "Some people just aren't that into that, but in this case, it was like a free pass."

Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published
I was looking through some of my old D&D modules last night, and I came across The Forest Oracle, what I think is the worst TSR module ever published. It is so bad you have to read it to beleive it. So, just for the fun of seeing your reaction to it, here is one "encounter area" of the module.
Adventure module (AD&D1):
The Forest Oracle
by Carl Smith
c. 1984
The below is quoted exactly -- I've inserted nothing, changed nothing, and removed nothing. The "boxed text" is for the DM to read to the Players.
Note: the lake is called "Quiet Lake", and is minimally described before the below text as "strangely different" with no bird song or animal movement. "It does not seem as ominous as sad."
A deer lies at the water's edge. Further south stands a small pavilion. (See Area 3A Map.)
The pavilion sits at the edge of the lake, small and slightly raised on stilts. It does not appear to have been lived in for some time. The wood is old, and a few cobwebs hang across the windows. Curtains keep out the sun and block the view inside. The door is tightly closed.
The pavilion on the lake shore was built for the nymph's lover. The front door to the pavilion is not locked, nor is the back door. Party members going up the steps to the front door will step on a squeaky board. This alerts no one, but it was here to let Chloe, the nymph, and Evan, her lover, know if they were about to have unannounced guests. The only access to the back door is to go into the water and swim to the door.
The front door is not locked. The sound of gentle breathing comes from inside.
When the door is opened, sunlight illuminates the room (Map 3A). A young man sleeps on the bed. The room is furnished with two wooden chairs, a table, couch, pantry, bed, chest, and a stack of firewood for the fireplace.
In the pantry, the party finds an old, moldy sack of flour, a corked jug of wine, three wooden plates, four wooden spoons, and two pewter mugs. In the chest lie blankets, two candlesticks, tinder and flint, and a dried-out wreath of water lilies which Evan kept as a remembrance of Chloe.
The fireplace has no secret compartments. There is no treasure in the room. Evan owns a longbow and a dagger. The longbow and quiver of 10 arrows rest in the northeast corner of the room. Evan wears his dagger on his belt.
Chloe, the nymph (AC 9; MV 12"; HD 3; hp 15; #AT 0; Dmg nil; SA Blind/kill if victim sees her; SD Dimension Door), regretted her actions after she caused Evan to sleep. If the party manages to awaken Evan, Chloe shows her gratitude by giving them 100 gp each and a potion of invisibility. But she will not choose to appear until the party has searched the pavilion or unless the party tries to leave without attempting to awaken Evan.
If the party does not wake Evan, Chloe approaches them and pleads for their help. She offers them the invisibility potion for helping her. Chloe appears as a young, innocent girl of sixteen. She cries and wrings her hands, telling the party that her lover needs their help. She cannot awaken him and is obviously too distraught to think of a clear solution to her problem.
After the party awakens Evans, Chloe gives them a potion to pour into the lake. This is the antidote for the sleep enchantment on the lake. She gives them enough to purify the whole lake, but the entire potion must be poured in. Once the potion is poured in, the area around the lake seems to revitalize and become more pleasant. The birds sing, and the area appears as wild as the rest of the woods.
And this is not the worst encounter scenario in the module. The whole thing is like this, just non-sensical encounters, screwed-up stat blocks, and contradictory descriptions. God this is so bad.
When I played this adventure (as a PC 3rd-level fighter), our party got all kinds of sidetracked because of encounters like this. We saw conspiracies in every encounter because the setup made no sense and explanations were so flimsy ("Why don't you pour that potion in the lake, yourself?"). We never finished the adventure. After getting about 1/3rd through it, the DM just couldn't go on because we were completely confused by the nonsense.
I'm interested in seeing text from other adventures that you think are really bad.

Now I certainly don't mind minor details included in an encounter description, especially when it may pertain to the reasons behind an encounter, but going into the minutiae of Nympho and Sleepy's relationship and history seems like a waste of time. It seems like the author really wants to be a novelist or something.

It's also funny how there is this note: "The fireplace has no secret compartments."
Earlier in the adventure, the party is accepted into a mage's home to spend the night before going on the quest. There is this note in the text: "The party will not find anything worth stealing in Delon's quarters."

Wait, I'm confused. The deer must be dragged away from the lake to be awakened, but..does Evan? It seems from the text that he can just be awakened in 1 round just be shaking him. Are we to believe that the nymph hasn't thought of this?
Also, doesn't looking at a nymph have a chance of killing you? Does she have control over that ability?

I didn't even notice the stat blocks (mainly because I didn't really pay attention to them). What I did notice though is that it says Evan can be awakened as per the rules for the sleep spell. Slapping him should be enough to wake him up. So, why couldn't the nymph figure that out? Did she not even try to wake him up?

So, uh, why couldn't the nymph wake up Evan herself?
Yeah, this is just bizarre ...

What we like best:
What you should know:
Ready, get set … define! If you're looking for supplemental vocabulary practice, Core Curriculum First Grade is an educational, entertaining option.
Brightly colored, age-appropriate graphics help create an inviting interactive space for first graders to study and learn new words. Set-up isn't super intuitive, so expect to spend initial time on player profiles and adjusting the settings to meet targeted needs. The ability to add unlimited players combined with tracking capabilities that allow parents and teachers to zero in on problem areas make this app very appealing for classroom use. Budding wordsmiths will appreciate the ability to choose between four different gameplay modes to sharpen vocabulary skills. From Matching to Multiple Choice, different templates appear to provide a range of ways to work, but are actually quite similar, and err on the side of being more academic than fun.
Despite a cute game frame with adorable monster avatars, individual graphics that illustrate each word or definition look a bit dated and contrast the background and "world" artwork. Still, the cheery colors, easy-to-understand definitions and visual vocabulary cues make this app a great addition to any first grader's study rotation.

1. No advertising other rp's here!!!!! You're welcome to join, but no websites or other rp links posted.
2. Nothing beyond hugging or kissing. No cybering allowed.
3. Not too much violence. There can be blood, no gore.
4. No godmodding. That means you can't be unhittable, undodgeable, be able to land every blow on your opponent, etc...
5. No controlling other people's chars without their permission. This especially goes for fighting.
6. To join, you have to PM me with the title "Project Freelancer" for the person you want to be or your profile.
7. No upgrades until the AI's are given out. Considering that the upgrades apparently do damage without a connection to control it.
8. If you want a relationship, you can flirt, but if the member asks you to back off, do so. Tucker I know makes a ton of sex jokes, that's fine, that's Tucker. But if members are starting to feel uncomfortable, back off. If you want a relationship with another member, ask the other member in advance, beyond a bit of flirting. I will ask you to stop if a member asks me to stop it.
9. Alright, due to the amount of upgrades that are NOT Project Freelancer related, I'm NOT going to accept any more that's not used by A: An AI, even if it's outside the program. B: not attached to your armor. This is mainly due to people coming to me with: "genetically and mechanically modified" body upgrades. Freelancer is NOT the Spartan program. It is a program that uses AI and armor upgrades like speed/cloaking/domed energy shields in the battlefield. Be creative, but DON'T come to me with any more non-armor upgrades.
10. Considering Freelancer has/uses Spartan/ODST armor... Please stick to that or some form of it. You can design it if you like, but NOTHING that's not canon to the series for the armor. This is from Halo. I can, despite my disclaimer, tell.
11. Have fun. biggrin

Instead of using a sniper he prefers to get up close and personal with his enemies.
Name: Jacob Nion

He always had a knack for copying people including trying to copy their voices although of course he could never get it perfect. Freelancer found him and recruited him at the age of 20. Jacob has worked there since.
Other (optional): Jacob is a very kind and generous person (most notably a gentleman), but you screw with those he cares about and he won't hesitate to rip out your arm and feed it to you while he beats you to death with the other one.

He didnt care the reason all that mattered was that he was here and he loved his new job.He was quickly put up for implantation and with that came something else he had to lose he right arm so they could give him a new experimental weapon a built in Spartan laser he was happy he was a leftie.

Though he was cleared for active duty by psychiatrists, UNSC command saw it fit to put "Ace," giving him that codename, in Dr. Leonard Church's program. They saw it as a little experiment and wanted at least one soldier, even if he was technically broken, in the program to satisfy the politicians. He is normally seen with several knives/daggers on his armor and two out of armor.
Other (optional): He is a bit of an alcoholic hence his Freelancer codename.

AI/Personality: Tetris (Handmade AI) - A basic AI with an odd personality. It's main functions are to help hack into the computer games that Leo loves playing twenty four seven however it can be useful because it's very glitchy and can disrupt technology
Upgrade: His upgrade is called the "Virus" it can destroy, control and erase information within minutes in a super computer, on opponents it causes their armors to either lock down or he'd take them over and use them like puppets (I would obviously ask before using this on anyone) However if he uses more then twice in twenty four hours his suit with short circuit and his internal computer systems will shut down due to the power overload.
Specialty: Computer Surveillance, Hacking (He's an extreme Hacker), Computer coding, Mechanical expert, tactical/navigational expert, Video game expert
History: Leo was a bit of a spoiled brat back on earth. He comes from a rich family, his dad is a high official in the UNSC, and Leo did little with his life. He just stayed home and played video games, hacked, and tormented numerous high end businesses, internet sites, and even military compounds by screwing with their technology. Eventually he started getting paid for his actions and joined an underground group of hackers that used their abilities to steal information and money. They pretty much ran a digital black market. However they got selling top secret military information to terrorists and were put behind bars. With the help of his father he was released and worked as a UNSC computer expert. Though soon after he began his devious hacking once more and found out about a very secretive operation called freelancer. He was caught again, but this time instead of being condemned the Director found his skills useful and offered him a spot in freelancer rather then being sent to jail for a very very long time.
Leo didn't have a choice.

North steps off the ship, he watches South stagger out, glaring at the pilot who rolls her eyes. "It ain't my fault you can't take a bit of turbulance..." 479'er snaps, heading off to get coffee.
North looks at his twin, putting a hand on her shoulder. "We just got here, we should make a good impression and at least not deck anyone." He says with a chuckle, sensing her hostility.

Alexa watched as the pair came out of the ship before walking up to them. "And who might you two be?" Strapped across her back was her sniper rifle and her assault rifle was strapped to her leg. She crossed her arms and her AI came to life then.'New freelancers i bet.' Alexa ignored her AI and waited for a response.

At this point, we probably all know how many health world things I've tried. Like… all of them. So of course homeopathic herbs and remedies have been utilized multiple times. But I had never actually gone to a homeopath. I didn't really "get it". Plus it sounded expensive.
Well I met a lovely homeopath at an event Sprout was a part of. I decided to give it a try because… well, I give everything a try.
I talked a little bit about my experience in this post, because I also ended up cleansing after seeing her. That was a fail, but she was not.
She definitely was not. In fact, she has completely and utterly changed my life. No lie. And you know why? Because she hasn't completely and utterly changed my life. Lemme explain. First of all, our first session lasted TWO HOURS. Have you ever had a health practitioner talk to you for anywhere near that long? Me neither. Secondly, without any medicine, I felt healed. She listened, she empathized, she supported. It was just so nice to have someone listen to ALL of the things I struggle with, treat me like I'm not crazy, and like they're all connected! Finally.
Then she gave me a homeopathic remedy that had nothing to do with my symptoms (or so I thought). Instead of treating a specific symptom, she treated my Type A brain. She didn't try to change me, or tell me that I was doing anything wrong. She just gave me something to calm my brain and body down, to help me become stronger and more adaptable. And it worked! I'm happier, more relaxed, and all of the challenges I face no longer feel completely overwhelming. Plus, every single symptom has also calmed down tremendously. I mean of course they were all caused by my brain, it was only a matter of time before that was confirmed. But I am extremely grateful to have met a patient, caring practitioner who actually listened to what I needed and helped me get there, even if I didn't know how (but thought I did).
Who has given homeopathy a try? What did you think? Was your experience like mine?
PS- If you're in NY and curious, this is where I went, and met with Karen Lawson.

He looks like a tool..

LMAO who the hell dresses like that to a game?? They both need help!!
Maybe it's his Euro look but the boy sure doesn't look straight to me.
Ok he's foreign. All foreigners dress like that. America is the only country that wears baggy pants. Look at all the young kids its the new style. Its horrible YES but he's foreign
Cristiano, I can see what you had for breakfast
Ronaldo looks gay. He's like a feminine version of Beckham.
The pants are fine... it's the gay chain hanging from his pocket. Ctfu
The shirt and vest are too tight, the pants are just pretty damn fitted.
He's not wearing skinny jeans you people at TMZ are so lame!
I love these two together! They are a beautiful couple and he is a stud on the soccer field. (Pitch) Actual Bad Boy def not gay. And has full custody of his son, the mother totally signed her rights away. She basically sold her son.

The Quest for Answers - Week of Dec. 2
What's so great about Abram's faith?
Verse: Genesis 15:6
The Bible makes Abram's faith the model for us all. (See, for example, Ro 4; Gal 3; Heb 11; Jas 2.) The surprising thing is that Abram never saw a Bible, had no church, possessed no creed, took no sacrament, heard not even one of the Ten Commandments and perhaps knew little about life after death.
Yet Abram's faith shows us what really matters. He heard the voice of God and dared to simply believe he could trust him when he spoke. He risked his life, his security, his reputation, his future and even his son on the word that came from the God whom he could not see but in whom he believed. Can there be anything better to demonstrate that it is by faith, and faith alone, that we are saved?
We now have the Bible, the church, the creeds, the sacraments and the Ten Commandments. But God still looks for the basics—God still looks for hearts that will risk all to trust in him.

With Kyle Lowry rumored to be off the trading block, I have two trades to offer. The suggested trades have been approved by the NBA Trade Machine, and are both independent thoughts on the Toronto Raptors options.
The first trade involves the Raptors and Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets seem willing to take offers for Kenneth Faried, according to David Aldridge who was interviewed here prior to the All-Star game. The Raptors would send Denver Terrence Ross, Greivis Vasquez and Steve Novak for Kenneth Faried, Andre Miller and Jordan Hamilton. This gives Toronto more strength and physicality from the starting Power Forward spot, and an experienced leader as a backup point guard to Kyle Lowry. The Nuggets get a young Ross, full of potential to start at the Small Forward, moving Wilson Chandler to the Power Forward spot, a backup point guard they sorely need in Greivis Vasquez, and some outside shooting in Steve Novak.
The second trade that would need to be made to replace the loss of Terrence Ross is with the Atlanta Hawks. This trade sends Amir Johnson to Atlanta for Kyle Korver. This gives the Raptors one of the best outside shooting threats in the NBA, gives Atlanta more size, and someone who can start at the Centre position during Al Horford's recovery. To replace Korver, Atlanta have Demarre Carroll who has been playing well enough to earn a starting position. The loss of Korver can be mitigated for more size. The Raptors will then have a starting lineup of Jonas Valanciunas, DeMar DeRozan, Faried, Korver and Lowry. The bench rotation would likely be Chuck Hayes or Tyler Hansbrough, Patrick Patterson, John Salmons, and Miller. This would build the Raptors for a playoff push, but could all quickly crumble in the off-season if Lowry is unwilling to resign (or the Raptors are unable to resign him at an amount that is reasonable). The move is also risky due to Korver's age (32) with 4 years on his contract.
Verdict: I believe that all teams win with these trades, in fact Denver might be getting too much in this deal. The Hawks improve up front, while the Raptors round out their squad, filling in the holes lost from the Nuggets trade.
Likelihood: 25%. We are talking some pretty big if's here, getting both teams involved to agree to these trades. I think Denver is more likely to agree than the Hawks, but stranger things have happened during the NBA Trade Deadline.
WWMD [What Would Masai Ujiri Do?]: I think if these trades are both available Masai Ujiri will pull the trigger on them, however he might try to insist on a first round draft pick instead of Jordan Hamilton.
What do you think Raptors Rapture, have I lost my mind? Do you think I'm making sense? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

ICTs transforming Nigeria's schools
DEVELOPMENT| July 11, 2012, 12:10 p.m.
In the past, twelve-year old Samuel Jacob would wake up in the morning, put on his school uniform and suddenly feign illness in order to be allowed to stay home from school. At other times, the Akwa Ibom State-born primary six pupil of Saint Andrew's State Primary School in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, would go to school and sleep most of the day in class owing to boredom.
Now, Jacob's attitude to learning has changed dramatically. These days, he is punctual to school, very active and always eager to learn.
What has so dramatically transformed his life is the introduction of ICT into his school by the governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi.
Jacob is not the only child showing a new interest in learning.
Silverline Wike, head teacher, State School, Okoro-Nu-Odo, Rumuokoro, Port Harcourt, says she has seen many similar cases of revived learner interest recently.
She recounts that before the primary school education renaissance that brought about the renovation of some 500 primary schools and gave a face-lift to all the secondary schools in the state, she used to wake up and reluctantly prepare for school.
But with newly renovated, well ventilated and tastefully furnished classrooms, an ICT laboratory with 31 desk top computers, e-library, a 300-capacity auditorium, race tracks, football and basketball pitches, a school farm, standby generator as well as a nursery section all equipped with a sick bay, schooling has become an attraction of a sort to all and sundry.
ICTs a 'magic wand'
"The computers have affected the learning and teaching process positively in the school, especially in the life of the children. The children get so excited when it is their turn to come to the computer lab to work. They are so much excited and have demonstrated unprecedented zeal and eagerness to learn such that my seven-year old daughter, Beauty, in primary two, scored higher marks than I recently when the computer instructed set a test for us," Wike explains.
For her counterpart, Kpugikwa Dorman Nwizuga, head teacher, St Andrews State Primary School, Ikwerre Road, Mile 1, Diobu, introducing ICTs into the school is like a magic wand that has had a dramatic impact on the teaching and learning atmosphere in the school.
"It is amazing how the pupils are responding to instructions. They come to school punctually and are ever eager to learn. In the past, when our pupils went on holiday, they stayed back one or two weeks before resuming school. The story has changed. If you ask them to come to the school on Saturday and Sundays, you will be shocked at the number of pupils that will be around. As a matter of fact, some of them wished they could come here all through the week to operate the computers," he says.
According to him, with a pupil population of 361, at 30 per classroom in primary grades one to six, the school timetable is designed in such a manner that each class has a time allocated to it for computer studies.
"There are 31 computers in the school. Each of the 30 pupils will man a computer while the instructor uses the last one to instruct them. It is incredible how the pupils rush out enthusiastically to the computer lab each time it is their turn to go in," he added.
He said this has also impacted on the teachers who hitherto were not computer literate, as they too must learn how to operate computers.
Wike says the introduction of ICT into the school has also affected the morale of the teachers psychologically as they now see themselves as impacting knowledge under a congenial environment. This has also affected the way the teachers dress.
"We now wear suits like our counterparts in the banks, we no longer feel inferior. Generally, we are grateful that Governor Amaechi has restored the dignity of the teaching profession," she said.
The pupils, feel similarly inspired to greater ambitions.
Seven-year old Beauty Olunwa, daughter of Wike, who is in primary two at State School Okoro-Nu-Odo, Rumuokoro, says she is happy about having computers in her school. "I wish to become a medical doctor and help the sick and needy. Now that there are computers in my school, I operate it and feel very happy sitting down there operating it. I am sure this will help me to realise my ambition," she says.
Prince Friday Nna, age 12, whose initial ambition was to become an electrical engineer, says with the introduction of computers in his school, he is beginning to change his mind. "I am interested in how the computer was made. So, I am going to work hard so that I can make my own computer," he says.
Other pupils of the school who spoke to Biztechafrica.com are Mary Onyesoh, Chid Nwanele and Rachael Austin.
Twelve-year old Gladys Misominah, said she would want to be a teacher. Asked why, she says likes sharing knowledge with people. "I wish to become a teacher. Look at all the people teaching us in the school. They are all teachers. If they are not here, who will teach us?
The computer has made me to want to become a teacher more. I enjoy the class each time the computer instructor is teaching us," she says.
Nwanele says he would wish to become a psychiatric doctor to attend to the mentally sick. "There are so many sick people out there. I like to be able to help them by putting their brains back to normal. Governor Amaechi has done well by giving us computers. It is helping us a lot because we are now more serious," he says.
Wike says her day now begins as early as 5 am. "I now wake up as early as 5 am, do my morning devotion, prepare and the family for the day and hit the roads by 6.30am. Ten minutes after, I will be in school preparing for the day," she said adding that the introduction of computers has changed the face of teaching and learning in the school.
Looking forward to the transformation
Prudent Comprehensive College is a private secondary school located on the outskirts of Lagos. Constrained by paucity of funds but aware of the place of ICT in the 21st century, Musa Abdulsalami, who is a director and principal of the school, told Biztechafrica.com that efforts are on to fully equip the school's computer lab.
According to him, the school has placed order for 20 additional desktop computers to support the few ones available.
"You can see our computer lab and you can also see that we have limited numbers of desk top computers now. Hopefully, at resumption in September, this lab would be filled with computers. We will also go a step further to put internet connectivity in in the lab so that students can do guided research on the internet. This will assist us pedagogically," he said.
Like his colleagues in Rivers State, the principal said the use of ICT in the school has whipped up the interest of the students, some of whom have gone beyond what the instructor teaches and broken new grounds in computing.
A 14-year old senior secondary school (SS1) student of the school says her first contact with physical computers was in the school. "Before now, our computer instructor, Anty Abimbola, would teach us the basics like key board, mouse and other components.
Now that the school has purchased some computers, I am so excited that I can put into practice, those things she has taught us," she said. With an ambition to study medicine, Elizabeth says early exposure to computer will assist her realise her dreams while her counterpart, 15-year old Lateef Akinyemi, an SS2 student, says early knowledge of how to operate computer will smooth his way to becoming a petroleum engineer in the future.
"With what I have been taught now, I usually visit a local cybercafe in my neighbourhood to check my email, Google some topics in chemistry, biology and physics. Sometime ago, I read about DNA test and did not know the meaning, what I did was to dash into a cybercafe, Google it and I was amazed with the result I got. I am happy that the school is making efforts to get internet connection for the school with a promise of strict supervision to avoid abuse," he says.
Growing internet penetration
Availability of computers for schools will no doubt deepen internet penetration in the country. Speaking at a one-day workshop on Domain Name Registration and Management, organised by the Nigerian Internet Registration Association (NIRA), the Director General of National Information Technology Development Agency, (NITDA) Professor Cleopas Angaye, observed that the level of ICT penetration in the country also called for development of efforts to serve the indigenous market, attract foreign investment and contribute to the gross domestic product.
Speaking on the current internet penetration in Nigeria, Angaye said: "The Nigeria internet population witnessed tremendous growth with a boost from 2,418,679 users in 2005 to an estimated number of about 10 million users in 2008 and currently over 44 million internet users, thereby, positioning Nigeria as one of the fastest growing internet users in sub-Saharan Africa."
