Many people think that they can't make tasty popcorn at home. They don't know about the plenty of popcorn machines available on the market. These are available in different flavors to suit your taste and also stay as a fashion statement with a wide array of colors and sizes.
Popcorn machines have been around for around 4000 years and have improved greatly since. They are now available in heat oil, electric and air batches of corn kernels at a time. However, the previous versions are looked nothing like they do now. Some of the old day popcorn machines are;
- Cart popper
- Theater style popper
The cart popper is the most popular old fashioned machine that is mostly recognized and the later style popper has not really changed all that over the years. They almost look the same since invention. Anyway, these old day popcorn machines are not made to use inside home, they are meant for commercial usage with their big and bulky design.
Apart from these two, there are also other styles in old day popcorn machines, such as stove stop or fire pit maker. These models are meant for home use and would not make a big amount of popcorn for commercial use. But, they do work excellent when around a bonfire or out camping.
Modern day popcorn machines
There are many different contemporary popcorn machines available in the market to choose from. Some of the most popular ones include;
- Microwave bag popcorn
- Stir popper
- Air popper
- Oil popper
- Microwave dish popper
These are a few important popcorn machines that are widely used, these days. They are equipped with some of the techniques of old day poppers. They are redesigned for home use. You can use these poppers in your home, either on counter top or inside microwave. Modern day poppers do not look like their earlier counterparts and they are also available in virtually all sizes and in many different flavors and varieties. They come with sleek and customizable styles and let moms to produce popcorn in mere minutes.
Best popcorn makers of modern times offer a variety of flavors to suit all kinds of people. Some of them include plain, toffee, salted, strawberry, apple, sweet and much more. As a low fat snack and without artificial colors, preservatives and flavorings, popcorn does not cause health issues. Popcorn flavors generally suit vegetarians, however you should check the packaging. Many interesting trends are emerging in night clubs with popcorn, such as popcorn parties! Event organizers may go for popcorn suppliers that render a bulk load of plain popcorn for nigh parties.
Hope you have recognized the difference between the old day as well as modern day popcorn poppers. With developments in technology, popcorn poppers have evolved a lot and made it possible for moms to get their kids hot popcorn as and when needed. There are many different brands and companies supplying popcorn machines with sophisticated features and facilities.
You will want to choose the most suitable and affordable machine for your use at home. Online is the best place to buy a good quality and low-cost residential or commercial popcorn maker of your choice. A lot of companies have online shops where you can make a comparison shopping by checking the price rates of different models and also with different shops.
Besides this, you will also be able to buy products from the comfort of own home. You just need to use your credit or debit cards to pay the amount and the product will be delivered at your door steps. So, do a thorough research and choose a better model.

Nielsen: 17% of U.S. telephone households rely on wireless
More than 17 percent of U.S. telephone households (more than 20 million) are "wireless substitutors," meaning they rely solely on a mobile phone for their home telecommunications, according to new research from Nielsen Mobile.
The research suggests that one in five U.S. households could be wireless-only by the end of 2008.
Nielsen's study reports that:
- U.S. cord cutters tend to have lower income levels – 59 percent have household incomes of $40,000 or less.
- Smaller households, with just one or two residents, are more likely to cut the cord than larger households.
- Moving or changing jobs are the biggest life events associated with cord cutting – 31 percent of cord cutters moved prior to cord cutting and 22 percent changed jobs.
- Wireless substitutors tend to use their mobile phones more than their landline peers, 45 percent more per phone, but still save an average of $33 per month in a household of one subscriber, less $6.69 for each additional wireless resident, when they cut the cord.
"As wireless network quality improves and unlimited calling becomes increasingly pervasive, we expect the trend toward wireless substitution to continue," said Alison LeBreton, vice president of client services for Nielsen Mobile. "In a tightening economy, every dollar counts, and consumers are more and more comfortable with the idea of ditching their landline connection."
But 10 percent of landline phone customers have experimented with wireless-only in their household and then returned to landline service, the research found. Nielsen reported that needing a landline for another service (security system, satellite TV, pay-per-view, fax machine, etc.) is the primary reason people mend the cord.
"Landline wireless substitution may just be the start," says LeBreton. "As wireless data networks improve and speeds become more and more competitive with broadband, some consumers may cut the Internet cord, as well, favoring wireless data cards and other access through carrier networks."
"Call My Cell: Wireless Substitution in the United States" is available as a free download here.

Frozen fundraiser coming soon to Hampton Beach
The event is the most popular and profitable of Special Olympics New Hampshire's annual fundraisers.
People of all ages dressed in costumes will plunge into the Atlantic Ocean at Hampton Beach to benefit athletes with intellectual disabilities.
The weekend begins with the high school plunge on Saturday followed by the official costume parade and Penguin Plunge on Sunday morning.
Activities will be centered near the new state pavilion, across from the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom where the annual after party will once again be held with music, drinks, food and prizes for participants.
This year's theme for the high school plunge is "Greek Olympics," and for the main event the theme will be "Goin' to the Chapel."
Each high school plunger must raise $175 to compete, and each Penguin Plunger must raise $350 to participate.
All proceeds directly benefit athletes in local programs around the state who practice and compete in 14 sports year-round.
In 2012, the Penguin Plunge weekend raised more than $500,000 for Special Olympics New Hampshire.
Any high school student can plunge on Saturday, and anyone over the age of 15 can plunge on Sunday. Registration is open through Jan. 27 online and then in person at several area locations in the week before the event.
For more information, go to sonh.org.

Hi all,
I'm trying to initialize a 4-vector and promote it as a tensor in Maple 16 using the Physics package. My attempt so far has been unsuccessful :)
This 4-vector needs to be a function of the coordinates X. What I'm trying to do is to allocate terms by terms my tensor as indicated in my attempt below. Everything looks fine (the query is telling me F2 is a tensor) but when I'm trying to compute contravariant quantities, I can't obtain an answer for a given coordinate (here F2[~n](X) is not equal du v_1(X))... Finally, the last line, computing the sum over all the indexes is not giving me an answer...
restart; with(Physics):Setup(mathematicalnotation=true):Setup(coordinatesystems = cartesian):Define();g_[]:
Surely, something is wrong in my way of defining a spacetime tensor. What would be the solution to obtain a decent contravariant F2?
Another more or less related question would be to know how to compute a taylor expansion of a function itself i.e. 1/(1+f(X))~ 1-f(X) since f<<1? Would there be a built-in fonction to do such a thing?
Many thanks!
I have been trying to compute the analytical solution of two dimensional diffusion equation with zero neumann boundary conditions (no-flux) in polar coordinates using the solution in Andrei Polyanin's book. When I use 2d Gaussian function as initial condition, i cannot get the result. If I use some nicer function like f(r,phi)=1-r; there is no problem.
Any idea why this happens? or any suggestion to compute the analytical solution?

I need to build a multibody model in MapleSim 6.4 in which with few global parameters I can describe all the other parameters. In other words the final user will enter this few parameters, that are coordinates of specific points, and then the model will calculate all the relative distances on the base of those coordinates.
The problem is that if I apply trigonometric function and square root (like in the screenshot) the model is not calculating any value. Is it possible to make those calculculations?
this is the model (don't worry about the nonsense plots, it's because it's not ultimated):
Let Poly2 denote the vector space of polynomials
(with real coefficients) of degree less than 3.
Poly2 = {a1t^2+ a2 t+ a3 |a1; a2; a3 €R}
You may assume that {1,t; t^2}is a basis for Poly2.
(1) Show that L1 = {t^2 + 1; t-2 ; t + 3}and L2 = {2 t^2 + t; t^2 + 3; t}
are bases for Poly2.
(2) Let v = 8t^2- 4t + 6 and w = 7t^2- t + 9. Find the coordinates for
v and w with respect to the basis L1 and with respect to the basis L2
I have a question concerning the initial conditions.
One interest of MapleSim is to enable to model a multibody systems with different kinds of coordinates : namely relative and absolute coordinates.
For a complex system, it seems to me that the determination of the initial position is not an easy task.
Consequently, I wonder if it is possible to determine the initial positions for the system in absolute coordinates thanks to the knowledge of the initials positions in relative coordinates.
In other words, I have already determined the initial positions of my system in relative coordinates but as I would like to simulate my system with absolute coordinates. I wonder if I can have a process to deduct the initial positions for the absolute coordinates for the initial positions in relative coordinates.
Thanks a lot for your ideas and help.
In the book "Challenges in Geometry" of the author Christopher J. Bradley at p. 32, the triangle with three sides a := 136, b := 170, c := 174 has three medians ma := 158, mb := 131, mc := 127. I checked
Now I want to find coordinates of vertices of a triangle like that (in plane). I tried
restart; DirectSearch:-SolveEquations([(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 = 136^2, (x3-x2)^2+(y3-y2)^2 = 170^2, (x3-x1)^2+(y3-y1)^2 = 174^2], {abs(x1) <= 30, abs(x2) <= 30, abs(y1) <= 30, abs(y2) <= 30, abs(x3) <= 30, abs(y3) <= 30}, assume = integer, AllSolutions, solutions = 5);
but my computer runs too long. I think, there is not a triangle with integer coordiantes.
How can I get a triangle with coordinates of vertices are rational numbers?
Level: Idiot (Me)
I have a matrix of 3 columns and lots of rows M
So I set lambda:=M(..,1) and phi_g:=M(..,2) giving me two column vectors.
I want to convert lambda and phi_g to polar coordinates theta and phi
theta:=90-lambda produces "Error, (in rtable/Sum) invalid arguments"
I also want to convert phi_g to phi where phi=phi_g when phi_g is 0...180 and phi=phi_g +360 when phi_g <0
How do I create a conditional function like this?
Is there a fairly straightforward method for obtaining an array of coordinates from an implicit equation? I have an ellipse defined implicitly (by a horrendously involved expression) and can't figure out how to extract a set of coordinates from an implicitplot. I'm reluctant to use seq and fsolve with a fixed stepsize.
Would be grateful for some insight!
I am making something for my math prof as a token of appreciation. It is a spiral slide rule designed to fit in a watch face, but it can be made bigger. I threw together a program to show what I mean:
https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/spiral-slide-rule/5831476045152256I was told that maple can be used to create things like this, but since I am new to the software, I really don't know how to put something like this together. The best I could do was to make a spiral in polar coordinates, and plot my lists of points on top of it. However, this does not annotate the points and I can't make nice looking lines (the only point options in polarplot are stars, crosses, and other things that aren't what Im looking for).Does anyone know how I could model this, and then export it as a format where I might be able to send to a printer to get it printed on specialty paper?Thank you very much
EDIT: I uploaded my plot here, in case you want to see it:http://randomwrites.wikispaces.com/file/view/mediumspiral1.bmp/508315780/mediumspiral1.bmp
In that attached file is a multip step problem that involves graphing a right circular cylinder using transtion matrices and orthonormal basis. I have completed the hole question minus the very last part which is asking for new parametric equations for the cylinder if its center point is located at (-2, 10, 3) instead of the origin.
Any ideas on how to do this will be greatly appreciated.
Please advise as to the proper coding entries needed in the triple integration palette to transform from the Cartesian placeholders x;y;z to spherical coordinates rho; theta; phi so that the triple integration palette can be used in spherical coordinmates. Dr. Lopez alreadyb has a standalone template which does this but I would like to set a palette option for spherical calculations.
I have a diff equation in cartesian coordinates I need to transform to a certain cylindrical system. The de looks like this:
I define my new system with addcoords like this:
addcoords('AccCylinder',[r,theta,y],[r*cos(theta),y,r*sin(theta)]); # Note: y is the longitudinal axis here!
and also do
VectorCalculus:-AddCoordinates('AccCylinder'[r,theta,y],[r*cos(theta),y,r*sin(theta)],overwrite) assuming r >= 0;
and note that I had to overwrite as my system was already known, so maybe addcoords is reduncant(?)
I then do the transformation ("(7)" is the label of my above de):
and get
This may be correct, but it has the expressions in the differentials, which diff does not know how to handle. I need to convert things like diff(xpr,r*cos(theta)) = diff(xpr,x)*diff(x,r) where x would be r*cos(theta). I can do this "by hand", but that seems overly tedious and error-prone. Somehow I'd expect the coordinate transforms to be able to do this but I can't figure out how.
Any idea?
Mac Dude,
I've been having trouble plotting in polar coordinates. My code is included below:
The ouput prints the 10 terms of the sum but the plot does not produce anything. I also would like to know a method that I could use to plot with a going from zero to the size of the radius.
Thank you for any help.
In multibodies system, there exists many kind of coordinates namely joint (or relative) coordinates and absolute coordinates. Moreover, for the joint (or relative) coordinates, it is possible to choose strict, simplified, or complete coordinates.
For the moment, i only find in the tutorials system modeled with complete joint (or relative) coordinates. I will give the example of a 4 bars mechanism. The kinematic scheme with this complete joint coordinates is the following :

Science Faux Pas #4: Nature wishes their dog ate this advertisement
2 comments:
I guess I'm not seeing the problem. Even if it *was* deliberate, what's the issue? If it had been a picture of a dog and a human, the candidate who was being "represented" in canine form could see it as an insult, but two dogs?ReplyDelete
Well, you may not get it, but Nature saidReplyDelete
"The journal swears they were not being deliberately cheeky. "We didn't know until the issue landed on our desks," Nature pleads. "It just goes to show that editorial and advertising aren't working in cahoots.
So that is what I was kind of trying to convey. I am not saying this is a huge screw up. Just a funny slip. Maybe "Freudian Slip" would have been a better title.

Highlight Reel: "Big Baby" Davis Offseason Workout on NBA Fit
Big Baby (@iambigbaby11) tweeted this morning that he had just completed a 5:00 am workout. This clip comes from NBA Fit, a program on NBATV about the workouts of various NBA players. Big Baby's offseason workout aired on the show a few seasons ago. Big Baby may be a goof-off who clowns around, but he puts in the work, too. Just check out the video if you don't believe me.

This off season has been great but a few things still erk me…
1) why didn't we draft Henry if we did are roster would be complete now
2)why did we sign Semih Erden , o.k i know why we signed him but why did we sign him so early , after he came we got 2 REAL centers and he is unnecessary if we didn't sign him we could get West AND Jarvis Hayes(or other SF) infact when i put it that way i think we should drop Semih Erden now …

With hit team down two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, third baseman Alex Liddi smashed his third double of the game to clear the bases and lead the Chattanooga Lookouts to a 6-5 win over the Montgomery Biscuits, Thursday night at AT&T Field.
After a scoreless first inning, the Lookouts (37-64) got on the board in the bottom of the second, when Alex Liddi drove in O'Koyea Dickson, who reached earlier on a walk. The team's lead was short lived as Montgomery (53-50) knotted the game up 1-1 on an RBI double by Jake Hager in the third.
Darnell Sweeney aimed to continue the back-and-forth affair when he singled up the middle to begin the bottom of the third. The infielder managed to advance to second on an error, but got picked off at third base by catcher Jake DePew. After Sweeney got thrown out, slugger Scott Schebler launched his 18th home run to give the Lookouts a 2-1 lead.
An inning later, Chattanooga continued to build upon its lead when Dickson scored his second run of the game on a single by Liddi.
In the fifth inning, the Biscuits took their first lead, on a bases-loaded walk and a two-run single by Willie Argo. Montgomery added a run in the top of the eighth inning on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Brett.
Chattanooga seemed destined for its sixth-straight loss, but the team's offense had other plans. With one out in the eighth, Biscuits' pitcher Samuel Garrido walked Daniel Mayora then loaded the bases on back-to-back singles by Corey Seager and Dickson. With the bases loaded, Liddi smacked a double to earn the title of Nutrition World Player of the Game and secure the team's 37th win.
The two teams combined for 19 walks. The 14 by Lookouts pitchers is the most this season and the eight by Matt Shelton is also a team high.
Tonight, the Looks will look to build on today's win when they send lefty Southern League leader in strikeouts Chris Reed (4-5, 3.19) to the mound against fellow lefty Grayson Garvin (0-4, 3.92) at 7:15 p.m.

(ARC Review) The Truth about You and Me by Amanda Grace
Title - The Truth about You and Me
Author - Amanda Grace
Pages - 264
Expected Pub date - Sep 2013
Publisher - Flux books
Source - Netgalley
This was a spur of the moment request on netgalley and I am so glad I clicked that button.
The Truth about You and Me is a relatively short book but it's sure worth a read. Its the story of Madelyn and Bennet told from Madelyn's point of view. It's written in the form of a letter directed to Bennet after the story takes place.
Madelyn is 16 but so super smart that she has started college early. Bennet is her biology professor. Things soon turn when they start to spend time with each other out of college hours. Madelyn is besotted with Bennet and we soon find out that he feels the same way. He says they won't even Kiss until the end of the year and he is no longer her teacher. Though he is unaware of her age, believing she is 18/19 years old.
This is a really refreshing story. We always hear these unfortunate stories on the news where a young girl has been 'taken advantage of' and seduced by a teacher. I like many others think what horrible man can do this. This book really delves into the situation and tells us what it can really be like, that the young girl isn't always necessarily the victim but the one that can pursue the teacher. Of course an adult should know better and do the right thing but here we have the story of a 25 year old professor falling for what he thinks is an 18 year old young woman.
We know from the beginning that the relationship doesn't end well, Madelyn is writing the letter to Bennet because they are no longer in contact and she makes it perfectly clear that she wishes it hadn't happened for his sake.
It's a difficult one to describe without giving away anything that happens without giving away the details of what happens.
If you like a good controversial story one that really makes you question your opinions then this is for you. Then get your friends to read it so you can have a good old natter about what you all think.

Single painting illuminates old feud
|John Scarlett Davis' 'The Interior of the British Institution Gallery,' from 1829. Paul Mellon Collection
One might call John Scarlett Davis the Rodney King of 19th-century British art. He is the guy who just wants everybody to get along — a harmony that could do wonders for his own career.
John Scarlett Davis will not go down in anybody's annals as a brilliant painter. He was at best, a B-grade Richard Bonnington. He is known largely for one striking painting, "Interior of the British Institution."
It might seem a bit of a stretch for a museum to mount an exhibit around a single, largely forgotten painter, but you can thank Cornell University's dissertation committee and the Yale Center for British Art for doing just that. This is a small, clubby exhibit and British art aficionados may get a chuckle or two out of the allusions and inferences, but many viewers may walk away scratching their heads.
That's not because Davis' painting is bad or that the exhibit is abstruse. On the contrary, "Seeing Double" is a clever, charming exhibit that asks viewers to put together a visual puzzle and gives them ample tools with which to do it. It's just that the crux of the exhibit concerns a historical feud so arcane it's hard to believe anybody could muster the enthusiasm to care.
The heart of the matter is this: In 1805, a group of art collectors and patrons established the British Institute, ostensibly to encourage living British artists. Such an institution seemed well-meaning enough, but for two points. First, there already was an institution for the promotion of British arts, the Royal Academy, established in 1768 by and for artists. Many of those artists must have found it a little cheeky for aristocrats to set an agenda for what and how art should be created. Second, the British Institute particularly championed artists who adhered to the Old Master creed of valuing history paintings and landscapes as the highest genre of painting. That was a tough swallow for many British artists who made their mark in portraiture.
Into this tempest burst Davis, a failed landscape artist and pretty good copyist who had worked under Sir Thomas Lawrence. In 1829, in what curator Catherine Roach calls his "go big or go home" moment, Davis saw an exhibit of (naturally) Old Master paintings at the British Institute and created his masterwork, "The Interior of the British Institution Gallery."

Scott, 24, is survived by his mother, longtime hospital board member and trustee Jaynie Studenmund, his father Woody, his sister Connell and a half brother. After graduating from Flintridge Preparatory School in 2008, Scott played football for Pitzer College for a year before joining the military, where he served in the Army's Special Forces unit, known as the Green Berets. Our flag will remain at half-mast until after his memorial service next weekend.

Delicious and easy to make with ingredients on hand; great way to use summer veggies
This was delicious and easy to make. I used soy milk instead of light cream and served it on spaghetti instead of farfelle. Next time I'd make a lot more of the sauce, maybe twice as much.
Delicious, very easy . Did not have light cream so I used half and half. It tasted just as good. Dbaker

Movie Info
Richard Roeper(Richard Roeper.com): "Reaches fit through you and chills you to the bone."
Adam Nayman(Globe and Mail): A deeply silly and mildly effective horror movie over two young-adult siblings coping with the mysterious deaths of their parents.
James Berardinelli(ReelViews): For a dismay movie, Oculus is surprisingly lean put ~ the scares. It's in addition interested in playing tricks with sensation and bending reality.
Stephen Whitty(Newark Star-Ledger): It's equitable a little vague, a little friendly, a little fake.
Tom Long(Detroit News): "Oculus" is haunting since it messes with your head. That's whither the ghosts are.
Tirdad Derakhshani(Philadelphia Inquirer): What makes Oculus inventive is how Flanagan and co-clerk Jeff Howard take this hackneyed storyline and winding it – round 'n' through a circle – ad infinitum into a dizzying corkscrew of a rehearsal.
Mark Kermode(Observer [UK]): This unpretentiously operator affair handles its dual-narrative above/present intercuts with aplomb and keeps a two of nicely nasty tricks up its sleeve.
Jason Best(Movie Talk): The action isn't always as classical as the camerawork and the legend feels a tad over-extended, excepting with his mix of sharp shocks and entangled choreography Flanagan has come up by an impressive and effective chiller.
Ed Whitfield(The Ooh Tray): There's a sustained vein of eerie anticipation, and the committed leads vend it.
George Byrne(Irish Independent): Flanagan in the room gradually ramps up the dread and in the train delivers one of the finest horrors of recent years.
MaryAnn Johanson(Flick Filosopher): The eerie atmosphere of psychological upset is intriguing and curious, but it's not as a matter of fact all that scary.
David Edwards(Daily Mirror [UK]): There's a gross sense of dread instead of due the usual cheap boo! moments.
Sarah Dobbs(SFX Magazine): An intent, devastating experience that relies as heavily without interrupti~ its character-building as its scary phantom.
Rich Cline(Contactmusic.com): While using every horror movie cliche in the part, this film cleverly tells a bracingly primitive story that will have genre fans squirming in their seats.
Alan Jones(Radio Times): The haunted-model scenario gets an impressive workout in scrivener/director Mike Flanagan's distension of his award-winning 2005 brief.
Stella Papamichael(Digital Spy): The essence that brother and sister experienced the identical events through different eyes is a able one, but Flanagan doesn't be in possession of behind it with any conviction and the continuous flashbacks only keep flipping the top off the pressure cooker.
Allan Hunter(Daily Express): This decent shocker messes with your head to the characteristic of surrender. I can't bring forth been the only one who left the cinema pacify confused as to exactly what had honorable happened.
Peter Bradshaw(Guardian [UK]): Smart, scary eat greedily.
Martyn Conterio(Little White Lies): Irrationality and quietism take guide the action in a characteristic style reminiscent of Italian splatter maestro Lucio Fulci in his Artaud-riffing show.
Tim Evans(Sky Movies): Flanagan has constructed an ingeniously compelling thriller, cleverly using his protagonists' unsound grip on what is really happening to submit them to more really nasty moments.
Tim Robey(Daily Telegraph): The film's pushed on by a overcast-smart performance from Gillan, who be possible to rattle her way through reams of dead-dangerous exposition without making heavy weather of it.
Andy Lea(Daily Star): Director Mike Flanagan has unequivocal that bending our minds is well-nigh more effective than drenching us in buckets of blood or jolting us out of our seats by loud noises.
Anton Bitel(Film4): Psychosis? The that exceeds the laws of nature? Either way, Mike Flanagan's hallucinatory chamber of mirrors is intelligent, subtle loathing for those who want more than pool bumps in the night (although it has those also).
Stefan Pape(HeyUGuys): A shrewd, well-structured relation that has been deftly executed.
Sarah Dobbs(Total Film): A heartbreaking test-lesson in creeping dread that'll permission you feeling slightly nervous around mirrors during the term of days (or longer…) afterwards.
Siobhan Synnot(Scotsman): Gillan invests her habitual conduct with energy but the film struggles to procreate enough shocks and twists to approve its length.

There are a lot of bad movies and this comes a close second under: the day the earth stood still. Do not even contemplate buying, this is what bad movie is defined by.

thanks for the love today. obviously we're happy to have kirk around here at nbx.com. the guy kicks ass and he's a hell of a nice guy.
it's also great to read a real, honest take on what went down with kirk and the 9ers. kirk's one of the best guys you'll ever meet and it was a shame to see him abused on the front pages when he doesn't have a sexist/racist/prejudice bone in his body.

If you're like most people, when you remember your school or university days, you'll agree than the biggest obstacle in getting good grades was not some innate learning deficiency or a lack of skills in some particular subject but simple lack of attention.To put it bluntly most of the time you were bored out of your mind.It's ok. We all were. Escaping boredom though is an art that we can master.

Part 1: Using Facebook as a learning platform
Let's start this post by stating that Facebook was not actually created as a learning platform, it can however clearly be used to enhance and support elearning. Facebook is STILL the most convenient way to get connected to friends, get updated on existing friends, find new people, build relationships and express identities – so the big Facebook advantage is that your audience is most definitely there. Facebook makes it easy to network and interact with other virtual students, and because most people know how to use Facebook they don't need to become familiar with a new platform.
It's also relatively easy to create apps for Facebook, making it a great canvas for developers to add cool new functionality and get users involved pretty quickly. We have written about Facebook apps for elearning before in this post!
For those interested in using Facebook with students the following links may be of use: [Resource: Facebook as an "interactive learning resource"?]
1) Stephen Heppell: Using Facebook in the Classroom This page outlines the dos and don'ts of using Facebook with students. Examples include the following (and much more):
- Do – build a separate teacher page for your "teacher" presence.
- Do – keep your teacher and personal page very separate
- Do – post pictures of school/lessons/trips – even diagrams you put on the board (snap them with your phone and post them) – it reminds students that you are there, generates a pride in the school and reminds them that this is not a vacuous space!
- Don't – 'friend' students yourself – not even as your "teacher" presence.
- Don't – accept complete ignorance of Facebook as an excuse for dangerous school policies like blanket bans. Instead offer to be an action researcher, and try it out for a year. Continue reading

From information to knowledge and the democratization of learning
We live in a changing world. We live in the era of the 'Information Revolution'. For the first time in history billions of people around the globe have access to tons of information digitally stored in what we already call "the cloud". One could reasonably expect unprecedented growth and prosperity for the global economy!
So, what about the global financial crisis? What about recession and poverty in the most developed economies of the planet, the US and the EU? What went wrong? Continue reading
Learning through Curiosity
I can see this thing working amazingly in practice. Every time I watch a documentary on History channel about a person or a battle, I find myself checking on Wikipedia the related article. Every time I have a conversation that brings up a new and interesting word or concept – even common words like marketing and leadership that I do not 100% grasp – I do the same. Googling and reading has become the natural extension of my everyday learning.
How would you go about converting a face to face course to an eLearning format?
Joan T. Cook raised an interesting question at the Instructional Design and eLearning Professionals' Group "How would you go about converting a face to face course to an eLearning format?" Several professionals in the Learning industry want to convert their f2f courses into an eLearning format. However, several of them do the same mistake again and again. They believe that by simply moving their content such as PowerPoint presentations, videos, audios, and documents to a Learning Management System that they have converted their face to face courses to an eLearning format. In my opinion, they have converted their traditional courses to an electronic format.
In this post I will present you the TOP 5 tips to Convert your Traditional Course into an eLearning format.

Success Stories
Career Prep Class: 2008
Undergraduate School: University of Massachusetts (c/o 2009)
Current Employer: PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
"MLT has helped me tremendously. MLT helped connect me with companies that were of interest and gave me the resources and network to gain an internship and full-time offer. MLT open a lot of doors for me that wouldn't have been open otherwise. MLT helped me develop a huge network of professionals. It taught me the importance of networking, how to write a resume, cover letter, the do's and don'ts of interviewing and financial planning."
Career Prep Class: 2004
Undergraduate School: Princeton (c/o 2005)
Employer(s): US Department of Energy and Accenture
"Without MLT, I would have never thought of consulting or business school. I would have been off to med school. When I started the Career Prep program, I was participating simply because an MLT rep came to school, and its program seemed interesting. At that point, I knew I was going to medical school so I wasn't very interested in business.
"After the first session about i-banking, consulting and media, I was intrigued by consulting. While I knew of consultants, I never really understood what their jobs entailed. The CP program gave me the opportunity to interact with industry professionals and thus, gave me the exposure to a field that would really challenge me, while allowing me to be creative and implement novel ideas and thinking.
"I am truly indebted to MLT for the many hours I spent with my career counselor discussing the strengths and weaknesses of my resume. If I hadn't had that experience, I'm sure it would have been hard to get my foot in the door at most firms."
MBA Prep Class: 2008
Graduate School: Columbia University, Graduate School of Business (c/o 2010)
Undergraduate School: Columbia College (c/o 2005)
Employer(s): UBS
"MLT was an integral part of my successful path to business school. The MBAP Prep program provided a platform that not only challenged me to derive answers to my difficult business school application essay questions, but also prepared me for other equally important facets of the application process.
The support I received from my coach, peers, and the MLT staff facilitated my growth throughout the program, and has prepared me for my first few weeks as a business school student. Arriving on campus with other MBAP fellows has given me a built in network that will complement the bonds I will forge with other classmates here at school.
Through MLT's professional partnerships, I secured significant Wall Street experience via a Pre MBA internship. The business knowledge I gained during my Pre MBA internship will be an asset during the competitive recruiting schedule."
Career Prep Class: 2004
Undergraduate School: Ohio State (c/o 2005)
Employer(s): Citi, GE and Bank of America
"MLT's mentorship was invaluable. Through my interaction with Laurence Latimer, I was able to gain a strong understanding of the recruiting, interviewing and networking process. Without his individualized commitment to my development, I would not be where I am today. As a student from The Ohio State University, the opportunities provided by MLT to interact with prominent leaders from leading investment banks, consulting firms as well as the media and entertainment industry were life changing. I can say candidly that the idea of attending business school would not have crossed my mind before joining the MLT family. While I loved finance, economics and computer science, I had no true direction. Through the many networking events I attended, I developed lasting relationships with recruiters at Citigroup, leading to an internship in their investment management division. This opportunity exposed me to the city of New York, a competitive and fast-paced environment, and sharpened my communication and interpersonal skills. One of the mentors I met over that summer, Elizabeth Baldwin, exposed me to GE's financial management program. I knew, after many interviews, that corporate finance was what I wanted to pursue and I accepted an offer from GE before the end of the summer. I also look forward to pursuing my MBA in a few years."
Career Prep Class: 2005
Undergraduate School: Georgetown University (c/o 2006)
Employer(s): Goldman Sachs and Columbia Asset Management
"MLT exposes Fellows to a wide-range of industries including finance, consulting, and sports management, so that when interview time comes, program participants are able to make an informed career decision."
Career Prep Class: 2004
Undergraduate School: University of Pennsylvania (c/o 2005)
Employer(s): PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
"My mind was closed when it came to my career; I had my heart set on accounting and nothing else. Working for PriceWaterhouseCoopers was my dream. MLT opened my eyes to other areas of accounting and finance. For example, I received a job offer from GE/NBC. MLT also introduced me to the world of consulting via a trip to McKinsey."
Career Prep Class: 2004
Undergraduate School: Stanford (c/o 2005)
Graduate School: Harvard Business School
Employer(s): Monitor and McKinsey & Co.
"Thanks to MLT, my long-term career potential has been improved because I am motivated and committed to succeeding in whatever fields I choose to pursue. MLT encouraged me to explore my options and preferences and to avoid choosing a career without fully understanding the implications of my decision.
The skills I learned through Career Prep have become deeply ingrained, and it is difficult to determine if I could have acquired them without the program. The most useful skill was understanding my goals, current strengths and past experiences. This understanding informed my decisions about which careers to pursue and made me confident in communicating my worth as a candidate. All of this was reinforced by the general attitude of support, feedback and encouragement that I felt at all the workshops."
Career Prep Class: 2004
Undergraduate School: Yale (c/o 2005)
Graduate Schools: Harvard MPP (c/o 2008) and Georgetown Law (c/o 2011)
Employer(s): Texas Research Real Estate
"Career Prep helped me realize that banking and consulting were fields that I might be cut out for. I did the program because I had no idea what the industry was all about. I always thought those jobs were only for the people at schools who were 'connected' to such industries through family or others. Doing the program, I felt connected.
"However, after completing the program, I determined I wanted to focus more on public sector work than private. I applied to, and was accepted to a Master's of Government Administration (MGA) program at UPenn. It's much like an MBA, but with an emphasis on managing public funds. What I learned through CP spurred my interest in that program in the first place."
MBA Prep Class: 2014
Graduate School: Duke University - Fuqua School of Business (c/o 2016)
Undergraduate School: State University of New York at Binghamton (c/o 2009)
Employer(s): Moody's Investors Service
"MBA Prep was amazing. I uncovered so much about myself and have definitely built my confidence level. The Fellows pushed me to be better and my coach served as a mentor throughout the entire process. The access to admissions officers and insight gained from them throughout the business school process was also an incredible experience."
MBA Prep Class: 2014
Graduate School: The Wharton School (c/o 2016)
Undergraduate School: Rutgers University (c/o 2009)
Employer(s): Edna McConnell Clark Foundation
"MBA Prep was tremendously helpful in providing structure to the largely unstructured process of applying to business school. Often other priorities force us to not focus as deeply or implore the same thoughtfulness require by MLT in our business school applications. In my case, I am certain that MLT made the difference not only in my acceptance into business school but also the caliber of school in which I was accepted."

Actuate Names FirstBank, And LACSD, As Winners Of 2012 Customer Excellence Awards
Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT), The BIRT Company™ – delivering more insights to more people than all BI companies combined – today announced that it has recognized FirstBank of Denver, Colorado, and County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County ( LACSD), with 2012 Excellence Awards in the "BIRT Implementation" category.
FirstBank: Cost Savings and Time Savings for Thousands of End Users
FirstBank was recognized for its implementation of BIRT and ActuateOne ® to develop a single-environment, highly efficient and integrated enterprise reporting structure that can be managed by BI developers to ease the burden on the company's Java and Windows developers. The solution – built for thousands of FirstBank users – reduces integration complexity and development costs by increasing speed and ease of report development. It provides the flexibility to integrate and combine data sources, and supports planned future enhancements including mobile delivery and a self-service platform. The solution includes ActuateOne v11 with Oracle Advanced Security in a VMware virtualized environment.
By deploying this solution among thousands of users and multiple branches, FirstBank has estimated they were able to cut run time by 90% on long-running reports and saved development time by up to 50%. Further, by leveraging Actuate resources like BIRT Exchange, they were able to pull LDAP information, along with related information from a web service and a database. Prior to the adoption of ActuateOne, FirstBank could not combine all of these data sources into one report, nor make all that information seamlessly available to the end user."With Actuate, we found a platform that is easy to learn, incredibly fast, and scalable to all of our needs – we were able to improve efficiency with quicker report deployment and time to market," said Ryan Buerger, Distributed Applications Manager for FirstBank. "In the future, we expect to streamline further, by converting or eliminating all non-Actuate reports, including 200 Crystal reports, with the help of Actuate's Professional Services team."

"A yummy, easy to make applesauce/raisin cake from an "Old Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook"."
Serving Size: 1 (109 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 9
"This was superb! I used a jar of applesauce for this, the batter is thick as mentioned but the cake is sooooo moist! The blend of spices produced such a delicious flavour, it disappeared in no time!! I'm off to make another one! Thanks."
"This was really good...I made it and brought it to the barn to share with everyone. It has the right amount of spices....for some reason it sorta tasted like pumpkin pie.....but it was gooooood!"
"This is THE moistest cake i've ever eaten! The smell is heavenly! I only used 1/4 tsp clove, but added 1/4 tsp ginger. I also had an apple i had to use up so I peeled and cut it into chunks and folded them in at the end (omitted the raisins) Yum, yum, yum!!!! **100 stars**"
"This was fabulous. The smell alone when it was baking was wonderful and rich. After I got it into the oven I looked over and saw my raisins sitting on the countertop, and I thought oh dang!! Forgot the raisins! But it was delicous nonetheless. I can only imagine how good it will be with raisins the next time I make it! Thanks for a wonderful recipe."

Each treatment is specifically tailored to individual conditions, such as wrinkles, dryness, and excessive oil. Meanwhile, Aveda makeup and Shavasana eyelash extensions are called upon to ready clients for nights on the town.
Terra Spa's small boutique lends itself to one-on-one attention as the staff balances chakras through massages. Combining deep-tissue techniques on the back with reflexology on the feet and Aveda's Chakra Balancing blend, the treatment leaves patrons walking away stress-free and energized.

Can anyone help advise us on what software would be most suitable?
We're a secondary school, with a significant number of pupils who like to use the internet to play on games when they should be working.
We need software on the teacher's PC that automatically connects to the PCs in a room (this could be based on PCs beginning with e.g. "Room10" or it could be an INI file or something), and lets the teacher easily restrict them to NO internet access, or to restrict to just a selection of appropriate websites of the teacher's choice. Obviously, we also require the other standard stuff like ability to blank screens, log off etc. We also want to be able to see the username of the user logged on. A room plan would be nice, but less important if you can see the students names.
Also for the network manager's PC, we get emails saying e.g. "Can you see what Joe Bloggs is up to?" so we need to be able to connect to any PC in the school easily.
We used to have NetSupport but it was unreliable. Blocking internet access sometimes didn't work and we don't know why. Also, pupils also got round it completely by rebooting their PCs! So a teacher would blank all PCs to talk to the whole class but someone would re-boot and start playing on games! Unless the teacher pressed refresh, then the rebooted PC would not be picked up. And refreshing would take ages. And it didn't show the username of who was logged onto the PC (you could ask pupils to enter their names using a log on option but they could type anything into that).
I downloaded a demo of iTALC but it doesn't appear to limit internet access.
I also looked at a school that uses SycronEyes but it appears to be quite limited and is of little use to a network manager. It only connects to a specific list of PCs and you can't easily connect to a PC just by knowing it's name or who is logged on. The school that used SyncronEyes told me they were not impressed with it and recommended something they saw at another school called Study Skills 100 Tutor but I searched the web and couldn't find it!
I have looked at Classroom Management Software | LanSchool and AB Tutor Control - remote monitoring software for the classroom, office and home and they look good, can anyone say if they'll do what we want?
We have around 450 workstations, and we'll need the tutor program on about 10 teachers PCs.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
