All Posts By Joey DavidsonGarbageman ReviewiPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPadGive this app a little time to grow and develop through updates and it may jump from base to best quickly. Read The Full Review » Without this one indespensable app, the world may have fallen into complete chaos. In fact, now that it's here we're almost positive that we'll never be able to even consider a time when we weren't able to locate the nearest Girl Scout Cookie sale on our phones. It's like thinking of an age without the internet, TV, electricity or even fire. Unfathomable. What's obviously been done in good spirit by the Kellog Company, makers of this application, is so very easy for us to tease. But this is certainly a fun, easygoing application meant to entertain and take shots at boosting sales. Sure, we jest, but the Girl Scout Cookie lovers that download this app for a simple chuckle may actually use it once or twice to find their nearest fundraising pack of children. They'll even be presented with the reserved hours of said cookie sale with this application. They'll run out to buy the baked treats by the box, and when that happens: mission accomplished. Beyond just finding cookies, this application lets users look up nutrition facts and remember the tricky names that belong to the treats they love so much. You'll also be able to take a personality test that links you to your destined cookie (look to the cookie…). Useless for some, incredible for many, this Girl Scout Cookie locator is an excellent, if not a slightly ridiculous, addition to the App Store. Before you go criticizing too hard, just remember that this product is little more than a marketing tool. And a good one at that. We only wish the entire thing was presented with more of a sense of urgency. Perhaps even a simulated cookie radar would have been a nice touch. Just spitballing here. Hit the "Find Cookies Nearby" button and go enjoy a Samoa. You earned it. FREE! iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad Released: 2011-01-13 :: Category: As the world awaits the 10 billionth app download and the subsequent $10k iTunes gift card prize to follow, Apple has released lists ranking 40 of the most successful apps of all time. Each list comes from a specific section of the App Store: Free iPhone/iPod Touch, Paid iPhone/iPod Touch, Free iPad and Paid iPad. Each list stands as a microcosm of purchases, rash decisions and cultural oddities. We still can't get over the fact that the 7th most successful paid application for the iPad is a fart generator. A fart generator. What does that say about the majority of people that on the device? What does it say about me? Also ranking among the surprising facets is the spread between Angry Birds and Doodle Jump. Doodle Jump is the most successful paid iPhone and iPod Touch app of all time, while Angry Birds stands in the fourth position between Pocket God and Tap Tap Revenge 3. We'll attribute that to the amount of time that's passed since each app's release. Doodle Jump saw birth on the iOS in April of 2009. Angry Birds? December of 2009. The lists!
Free iPhone/iPod Touch Apps
Free iPad Apps
What about iBooks? iBooks is actually a suggested download. Users are physically prompt by a notification with the option to download iBooks. Everyone is. So why is it only ranked 9th? It just seems odd. Application developers will likely take two things away from these rankings: a sense of pride (or disappointment) and the urgency of competition. Sure, Apple likely used these lists as an opportunity to add another layer of exposure for their marketplace, but a potentially unintended side effect could actually be a spurred sense of competition amongst developers. Angry Birds beaten by Doodle Jump, you say? I bet Rovio and Lima Sky are working hard because of this new spotlight. [via TechCrunch] Chillingo has updated two apps from their catalogue of titles. Ice Age Deluxe: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is seeing the much improved and sought after Retina display upgrade. But Guerrilla Bob? Well, this announcement comes with a lot more than just improved visuals. Guerrilla Bob now packs in wi-fi co-op action so that players can team up across several platforms. You'll be able to pull each other up by the boot straps on your iPhone, iPod, Mac or PC. This kind of cross-platform play is mind blowing. We're giddy with geek anticipation. Beyond just co-op, this update also includes Retina support, two new characters, faster app switching, Game Center support and improved controls and balancing. All of that makes this jump to version 1.3 well worth the wait. There are, however, some hanger-ons suggesting that this title still lacks a definitive, true version of online multiplayer. By that, we think they mean one that doesn't require a wi-fi connection. We're not But, to those folks that are still somehow disappointed, Chillingo has offered up a sacrifice. Guerrilla Bob is currently on sale for just $0.99. If you're unfamiliar with Guerrilla Bob, well, just know that it's positively ridiculous. And we mean that in the most wonderfully complimentary ways. See for yourself with a trailer tailored specifically for this update below. Explosions! $0.99 iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad Released: 2010-01-26 :: Category: Games $0.99 iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad Released: 2009-11-14 :: Category: Games As Comcast updates their interesting Xfinity app, TiVo delivers on their long awaited iPad promise. TiVo for the iPad makes use of the massive real estate, the touch controls and the snappy navigation potential within the device in order to deliver, according to them, "the world's most amazing remote control." The app has been designed specifically with the TiVo Premiere and Premiere XL boxes in mind. The whole pitch with this application is that you can now search, browse and share without ever interrupting your television viewing. From the application, users will be able to browse channel listings (up to 14 days in advance), set and manage recordings, view actor and actress bios and even comment on specific shows, events and movies. TiVo's also included the ability for users to post to Facebook and Twitter from the application in relation to what they're currently watching or doing. The TiVo system has always been designed to work in conjunction with users' home television setups. Its purpose is to complement the experience customers already receive. With the Xfinity app from Comcast and this new TiVo iPad app, the marketplace is getting tougher and tougher to manage. Comcast keeps adding functionality to what they offer, at a cost, as they try to push competitors like TiVo away from the market. It actually looks like the only thing TiVo's application does that Comcast's doesn't is the ability to discover and learn more about programming and actors. And with the potential addition of live streaming to the Xfinity application, is TiVo's wonder remote enough to keep the device relevant? Our guess: probably. People do love their TiVo. [via TiVo] The first person to download the 10 billionth application, or submit the first free entry after the 9,999,999,999th download (more on that in a second), will win a $10,000 gift card to the iTunes store. We'll consider that victory marginally better than the free balloons you get when you're the millionth shopper at your local market. It's absolutely absurd to consider that in the span of only two and a half years (the App Store launched on July 10, 2008) there are more application downloads in a single marketplace than there are people on Earth. Nearly double the amount, in fact. That is, if you consider being shy by two billion a small margin of difference. Those interested can head to the contest's page on Apple.com. There you'll see a scrolling ticker representing how close the world is to seeing that 10 billionth download. Is the ticker an accurate representation of the actual apps downloaded? Probably not. One would assume that Apple took the time to figure out how many apps are downloaded in a given span of time and then applied that rule to the ticker itself. But why is that important? It's only important if you plan on using the no purchase necessary form of entry. For those that don't want to download the 10 billionth app or, alternatively, even for those that don't have an iOS device, you can simply enter using this form within the contest page. You can do so 25 times a day. Obviously, it's not fair to let non-purchasing folk walk away with the prize by just entering a bunch of times. So, the factor that contributes to the entrants eligibility is the timing of said entry. The gift card will go to either the person that downloads the 10 billionth app or the person that uses the entry form immediately after the 9,999,999,999th download, whichever comes first. Ramps ReviewiPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPadChallenging, straightforward and good for both long and short gaming bursts. Read The Full Review » Say goodbye to your free time, MMO fans. Empire Online, the iPhone MMORPG that's been taking Asia by storm is now available Stateside. We predict a forecast of dropping battery life and too much time spent in the bathroom, because this Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game is free. And it's huge. Fans will find exceptional graphics, over 300 maps, 1000 quests, 5000 items and 6 million avatars. There's more to do here than we could even begin to comprehend. Moreover, it's likely that the game's developer, Lakoo, has even more in store for their gargantuan product. This next crazy fact almost blew our minds. The app description lists that players will be able to interact with over 5 million people. For perspective: that's nearly twice the population of Chicago, IL and more than the entire population of New Zealand. The game itself centers around questing, turn-based combat and PVP action. And all of it, like the game's vast presentation, is done with huge presence in mind. You'll be able to group together with other avatars, or even take part in 20 person battlefields. The action happens over great looking maps in front of well created NPCs. The presentation has this nice 32-bit feel of rich color and simplistic design. Players will be able to change their equipment constantly, and the new equipment will alter the look of their avatar. This gives each player a unique feel and fashion. The folks from Lakoo are obviously excited about the further expansion of their title. In the press release, Kin Ko, CEO of Lakoo, offers that "the Lakoo team has been anxiously awaiting Empire Online's expansion into the North American market. Now English-language players have the keys to the kingdom, and you won't believe how many MMO elements we can fit on a smartphone." If the screenshots, factsheet and trailer are to be trusted, then no, we won't believe how many MMO elements Lakoo can fit on a smartphone. This game seems humongous, and RPG fans better be salivating over what's being offered here. Empire Online released on Saturday, January 11th 2011 and is slated to be free for good. FREE! iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad Released: 2011-01-15 :: Category: Games Rimelands: Hammer of Thor is now officially a universal application. Dive face first into the turn based action on both your iPhone, iPod and iPad with this single purchase. For those unfamiliar with this massive title, here's a bit from our review: This update packs more than just the universal upgrade. Now users have Retina Display graphics for the iPhone, native resolution for the iPad and, supposedly, fixes for all of those game-breaking glitches. Since the game's initial release, some users have complained about balancing issues, freezing cutscenes and awkward bugs throughout the title. Here's some bullets from the press release we received regarding the update itself.
This update rolled out on January 15, 2011, only a few days ago. Since then, some users are still complaining about awkward freezing during cutscenes and pivotal moments during the game. Issues likely to be addressed quickly by Crescent Moon, the company behind the title. One has to assume that such a massive game is due to release with problems, but we're more than sure that the frustration from the fans is being listened to and addressed as you read (and I write). The final portion of this update, and the one that will likely earn a little more forgiveness for the remaining glitches, is the addition of some new content. All of this is available after completing the game, so here's hoping that the fix the bugs during the final cut scene as soon as possible. Players will find two new levels with unique textures, three new tough bosses, six new enemies and new items. $4.99 + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2010-09-02 :: Category: Games Here's an interesting little application for your iPhone, iPod or iPad that takes a simple concept and makes it completely horrifying, though I'm sure that's not exactly what the fine folks at OwenMobile were going for. Before You Buy is a financial calculator that will run you $0.99. The premise goes like this: when you're about to make a purchase, of literally any size, you can whip out your iOS device and enter a few parameters in order to see what sort of long term ramifications the product will cost your retirement fund. This app makes the assumption that you already have a retirement account, so don't forget to take that into account should you decide to pick it up. You'll enter your current age, your retirement age, your retirement fund growth rate and both the cost and frequency of your purchase. With that information, this app crunches the numbers and returns the exact amount of money said purchase will drain from your retirement fund. That's how you'll be able to find out exactly how much that daily trip to Dunkin' Donuts is hurting you in the long run. For me? That's about $752,632.36. Consider the financial slam dunk above and you understand exactly what I meant when I said that this application has the potential to be positively terrifying. Yes, you could get the same results with a calculator and an easy formula, but Before You Buy makes it all too easy to find yourself scared of buying anything. As I said, not having a retirement fund renders this application nearly useless. Then again, it's probable that the only people considering this app in the first place are the types that currently have retirement accounts. For those folks, Before You Buy may be an absolutely perfect source of reminders and gentle nudges. Rather than making this application one dimensional by focusing on what purchases do to retirement accounts, why not let users build a simple savings engine? Most 25 year olds, despite the advice given by financial advisors, don't have retirement accounts. Let these people customize the time frame and nature of their savings account. This application will instantly go from limited to well rounded. $0.99 iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad Released: 2011-01-05 :: Category: Finance If you love to knit and regularly cruise the internet, odds are you've stumbled over or become a regular reader of Knitting Daily, Interweave's site centered around yarn, needles and whatever surrounds them. Interweave is the masthead of a network of craft related magazines, web sites, books, television shows and communities. It's massive. I don't even knit and I know about this conglomerate and their products. Perhaps that just means I'm a bit more nerdy than I like to admit. Knitting Daily is now available as an app for the iOS. However, don't just expect to download it and boot up a simple regurgitation of the web site you tend to frequent. This app is a collection, updated weekly, of the latest knitting videos and blog posts. The good folks at Interweave explain that users can expect to regularly learn new tips and tricks from knitting experts as they keep this mobile collection with them at all times. Those that download the app will also be informed of new, free knitting patterns and catch exclusive expert interviews. Users will be kept abreast to information from Knitscene and Interweave Knits (magazines from the publisher). There's even a handy glossary of knitting terms for people that may fall into the beginner or intermediate categories. This app has been designed for the iPhone and iPod. It's free and available as of January 11, 2011. This less-than-novice knitter discovered something completely wonderful while reading up on this old craft: Yarn bombing. The act of surprise knitting objects in an urban environment is nothing short of legendary, and it explains the sweater wearing bull statue in New York on Wall Street. For some examples of yarn bombing, or guerrilla knitting, hit the Googles. Otherwise, get out your needles and this new app, and start a new project, why don't ya? FREE! iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad Released: 2011-01-11 :: Category: Lifestyle CBS Sports has updated their football app specifically for the playoffs. And as another playoff weekend arrives, football fanatics and iPad owners both may want to hit the App Store and snag this free application. Even those that aren't much for the game with that weird oblong ball may need to check this one out. What better way to stroll into that Super Bowl party you usually only enjoy because of the commercials than to do so sporting your iPad, a sweet new app and all the random season and playoff stats you've memorized along the way? Next time you slam dunk those nachos into your pie hole, you'll do it with a new air of confidence and unending justice. With CBS Sports Football for the iPad, you'll be privy to live drive charts for each game, constantly updating stats, play-by-plays, relevant headlines, video clips, message boards and more. All of that content can make this application's presentation a little too chunky and crowded for some folks' likings, but stat junkies and those that need to be up-to-date on every playoff moment will likely rejoice. Be warned, however, as some users complain about a little screen lag. Those among us a bit resistant to change are probably pointing towards their currently installed sports or football specific application as their go-to for gridiron glory. To those fans we toss out this nugget of logic: this application, like many others of the same variety, is completely free. That earns you a free perspective on all the action on the field, post-game, pre-game and throughout CBS' current football headlines. That's right, "it's good." FREE! iPad Only App - Designed for the iPad Released: 2010-09-09 :: Category: Sports PressReader attempts to give users an excellent way to ingest their Newspaper subscriptions from around the world. Its first iteration was bold, if not a bit wonky in delivery and style. Customers dug the idea, but were a bit split when it came to the execution of the app itself. PressReader 2.2 has been released. This update features a fresh new look and a slew of changes poised to make users old and new extremely excited. Champion among them, in this news reader's opinion, is the much smoother navigation. Reading news quickly, effortlessly and effectively is what makes the iOS and tablet era a thrilling one. In fact, one probably wouldn't be too hard pressed to argue that stuttering scrolling is a major detriment to news and reading apps that could otherwise be incredible. According to the release that accompanied the update to PressReader, users can expect smoother operation, faster navigation, simplified downloading and delivery of newspapers. Additionally: As an aside, while the app may be free, the newspaper subscriptions are not. PressReader was designed to complement the PressDisplay service previously available. PressDisplay is the service you subscribe to in order to actively read and download newspapers in PressReader for your iOS device. See the app in motion below. FREE! + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2009-10-20 :: Category: News One of America's classic pulp heroes from the 1930s is coming, again, to the silver screen in January of 2011. That's right, in, like, a few weeks from today. In honor of and preparation for the film's release, Dynamite Entertainment (publisher of the comic series, that's plural) and comiXology (makers of an exceptionally good comic book reading app and subscription site) have come together to release an app centered around the Green Hornet's fiction. Those familiar with the comiXology site and application will certainly feel right at home with this little collection. The presentation, the reading software and the fluid navigation are all present except they've been done up in green and black in honor of the Green Hornet and his trusty sidekick, Kato. Download the free app and you'll get access to free samples and full issues (for purchase) across six different series. In total, 29 books are here for nerds new and old, while even the samples typically come in at about 10 pages in length. Fans of the old Green Hornet lore should know that these new runs by Dynamite rock in with new plots and a new rogues gallery. And, yes, the Kevin Smith you see listed as an author on some of these titles is really that Kevin Smith. Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob, Zak and Miri. That guy. Bet you didn't know he wrote comics. And, like that, it's all coming together. Sure, you could absolutely write this production off as nothing more than comiXology in green, but where's the fun in that? The project serves as a great launching point for fans looking to dive deeper into the Green Hornet story than what will be offered in theaters later this month.

Associated Press June 24, 2013 Comments NEW ORLEANS (AP) — NASA officials in New Orleans have publicly unveiled a new, three-story-tall cylindrical structure that is a key component in constructing heavy-lift rockets for the nation's space program. It's called the "vertical weld center." It's a heavy metal framework holding state-of-the-art automated welding equipment, around which the Boeing Co. will build a major section of rockets for NASA's new Space Launch System.

In the Public Interest
Usually, when I develop an update of Public Interest Directorate activities, I write about its governance overseen by the Board for the Advancement of Psychology in the Public Interest (BAPPI), its seven committees and the several staff offices. Typically, there is a recitation of the general charge of public interest (PI), part of the APA purpose "to advance psychology...as a means of promoting human welfare."
Often, a summarization of the various PI activities would follow to help the reader understand the scope and depth of our efforts. Somewhere in either a restatement of the PI goals or discussion of its work during a particular year, there is usually a reference to George Miller's APA presidential address in which he used the phrase "giving psychology away" as a means of providing psychological knowledge and expertise to the public at no charge.
Most updates reaffirm that the directorate, its governance and staff are in fact continuing to promote human welfare by giving psychology away.
Our scope of issues
Even the casual visitor to the room in which Public Interest documents, brochures, books and others publications are stored is usually impressed by the variety of materials. Implicit sometimes, explicit at others, is the idea that "human," as used in the APA purpose, should be broadly interpreted to include diverse peoples, groups and populations.
Over the years, APA leadership and member constituencies have attempted to expand the notion of "advancing human welfare" to include women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, gay men, lesbians and bisexuals. Each time, Public Interest has been the directorate assigned to process the issues, recommend policy, and ultimately, to give that aspect of psychology away. The PI publication room contains documents that organize psychology in ways that help to combat sexism, racism and homophobia. Most single copies of these publications cost nothing. Multiple copies cost more.
In recent years, the directorate's responsibility for "advancing human welfare" has grown to include aging, urban initiatives, violence, workplace issues and adolescent health. Publications have been developed in each of these areas and are available to the membership and public at little or no cost. In some instances, external funds have been provided to support distribution of these materials.
Virtual PI tour
APA members and the general public can visit the APA/PI Web site and the PI publications room at www.apa.org/pi. Except for the archived publications, brochures, pamphlets, books and other documents have been developed by PI governance groups and staff on a variety of issues. These are available to the public and members.
A sample of what can be found:
A disability pamphlet, "Enhancing Your Interactions With People With Disabilities."
A recently passed Council of Representatives resolution, "Guidelines for Psychotherapy With Lesbian, Gay And Bisexual Clients."
A public policy position paper, "Hate Crimes Today: An Age-Old Foe in Modern Dress."
Further explorations of the Web site yield an announcement of an upcoming conference, "Enhancing outcomes in women's health: translating psychosocial and behavioral research into primary care, community interventions and health policy," scheduled for Oct. 46, 2001; an AIDS Office, CDC-funded, community-based project, "Behavioral and Social Science Volunteer Program," and a biomedical, National Institute for General Medical Sciences-funded project newsletter, "Pipeline."
Further clicks on the Web site take one to the "Aging and Human Sexuality Resource Guide," and to a Maternal and Child Health Bureau-funded project on "Adolescent Health." All pages offer complimentary Public Interest publications.
These titles represent only a sample of publications available from the directorate via the Internet. It is anticipated that they will be downloaded, copied and made available to students, members and, as appropriate, the public.

Big Lots coming to Middle
Written by Alex Davis Friday, March 15, 2013 04:37 pm
< Prev |
MIDDLE TOWNSHIP -- People filled out applications in the former Super Fresh store in Cape May Court House Friday for the Big Lots store coming in.
The large building has sat empty since Super Fresh shut its doors in 2011, causing about 80 people to lose their jobs.
On March 15, the building was lined with empty shelves and workers were getting the store ready for opening.
It's unknown when the store will open or how many employees will be hired. The manager declined to comment, referring questions to the corporate level. No one was immediately available for interview from the corporate headquarters Friday.
Gage Cope, 19, of Rio Grande, said he was applying for a part-time job at the store. He works at Arby's in Cape May Court House, down the street.
He is looking for a job stocking shelves and heard about job openings on the Big Lots website.
Big Lots is looking for cashiers and stockers, according to a job description listed on its website. The store has food, seasonal products, furniture, housewares, toys and gifts and there are hundreds of Big Lots throughout the country.

Linked list detection through memory accesses pattern analysis
Flavio Mutti
DEI PhD Student
DEI - Aula 3B
15 novembre 2011
Ore 11.00
One of the most interesting challenges in reverse engineering is the reconstruction of the data structures used by programs. The most promising techniques proposed work dynamically, by inspecting the memory accessed at runtime by the program under examination. These approaches identify simple data type such as integers, floats, and arrays by using a set of heuristics. Unfortunately, these approaches cannot detect more complex data structures and, as a side limitation, are difficult to generalize because they are based on rules and heuristics.
We hereby present a technique that can identify dynamic linked list and can be generalized because it is based on standard machine learning algorithms. We implemented our technique in a tool that first detects the opcode execution flow and the memory accesses at runtime and extracts relevant features (e.g., spline parameters and memory address).
Secondly, we train an SVM classifier on the extracted features. Third, using this classifier, we can tell whether the accessed memory cells at runtime are part of a list node. We validated our technique on our implementation using a testbed application that we developed to generate node structures and random high-level list operations. The classification results, obtained from experiments with 8 different node structures, show the effectiveness of the technique.
Our technique is useful in different domains beyond reverse engineering itself. For instance, security researchers often need to solve the issue of understanding what malicious binaries do and what data types they work on. In this domain, static analysis is inapplicable because binaries are often obfuscated; instead our tool can be used as it work at runtime, when the binary code is accessing the memory.

It can't really be much of a surprise that Kodak has decided not to make digital cameras any more.
The writing was on the wall at last month's Consumer Electronic Show, when Kodak had the biggest flashiest stand we ever did see. This is the famous inverse square law of marchitecture – when your back is against the wall, stick your chest out like a pigeon and go strutting just to show what kind of a creature you are. A pigeon.
I busied myself collecting as many free pens as I could, conscious of the fact that Kodak had snapped and was showing off at CES, crackling and popping like a crackling and snapping and popping sort of a thing.
Rather than sell digicams any more, Kodak will concentrate its efforts on inkjet printers but we can't really see that it has a snowball's chance in hell there, either.
That writing was first on the wall for Kodak in the early years of the 21st century, when it was clear it didn't stand an earthly re-aligning its business to compete against the up-and-coming giants such as Samsung, LG and other more thrusting businesses.
It's somewhat strange that the price of silver remains relatively high, seeing as that market relied to a great extent on that old fashioned concept called "film". It is very sad. Harrow, in North West London, relied on a big Kodak factory there almost forever, while don't mention Rochester in the USA.
Kodak, which entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month, reckons that shuttering the digicam biz will save it $100 million but few will take much satisfaction at this latest move. Historically, it made snapping photos available to all – I first cut my teeth on a Kodak Brownie, but it just simply failed to adapt to existing market conditions, like many a dinosaur.

I started Crossfit exactly one month before my 29th birthday in August 2010. I was living in North Lake Tahoe and had been hearing about Crossfit from a number of friends, including one friend who was able to finally quit smoking and who totally transformed himself all in a couple of months. His results were inspiring, and I had also heard you got to jump around on things, swing on other things, and get upside down. I was so in! Those first couple of days I wasn't sure I'd be able to make that five minute stroll home because I was so frickin' sore.
I've always been active in a variety of different types of exercise, including cycling, triathlons (I can barely swim and I hate to run) Tae Bo, P90X, and more, but none were able to garner my short attention span for long. Crossfit has complemented my A.D.D. perfectly because there are literally hundreds of skills, movements, and lifts not just to learn but also to get the technique right. There's little time for boredom with Crossfit and I always have a list of things I want to accomplish; some of it is improving technique, some of it is doing a skill for the first time, and somewhere on that list is to run more, too. Basically, there is ALWAYS something that I will pretty much suck at doing, so there is always something to improve and whatever it is, I will hammer it until I get it, get better at it, and then own it. That first month I started, it was double unders, clearing the jump rope twice in one jump. I couldn't do those things to save my life, but after every workout I'd go out into the parking lot and keep trying. This process included thousands of failed attempts, and so, so many painful leg lashings. The first time getting consecutive double unders was like a rite of passage (you know, because people call it a cult). High fives abound! Soon instead of 4 or 7 DUs it was 34 and when I broke 50 I pretty much threw a party. That, in the CF world, means proudly writing my name up on the board, "Michelle M: Double Unders: 52". Oh the glory! The support from everyone has always been and continues to be incredible and never ceases to amaze me. Only four months after I started CF, I moved to Oakland. I missed the trainers, I missed the friendships, and I didn't think there was any gym that would be able fill those shoes. And then I found Crossfit Oakland. I was surprised to find the same high quality trainers and high quality people with whom to surround myself and I remember on my first visit I watched (from afar) the two strongest women in the gym back squatting, thinking, "damn, they are strong" and subsequently, "I could never do that." Fast forward to now, and I am proud to call them my friends and I am back squatting not only with them, but also at almost the same level! In March 2011, with much hesitation, I signed up for my first Crossfit competition, The Crossfit Open. At one point, I went through a bout of "my muscles are getting too big" thoughts but that lasted about a minute. I decided I loved seeing and testing what my body was capable of doing, what my muscles allowed me to do much more than anything else. Individuals from different gyms submitted their scores online and then can see the rankings at the end of each week. By doing these competitions I learned, or remembered, rather, that I can be crazy competitive, and that I pee A LOT before any competition. While I absolutely believe that this is all about improving the person I was yesterday, to find someone else who's at a similar skill level as me can offer some unique opportunities to challenge myself and push past what I previously thought I could not do. It's just another element that makes going to the gym fun. I'm competitive, I want to beat the girl next to me. Always. But when she beats me, I turn around and don't hesitate to congratulate her, because she pushed me, and that was the goal. Since that first Open, I've competed in a couple other competitions, with a couple more on the horizon. The last one was the Nor Cal Regionals team competition. Regionals were a great experience for me. They did a great job of exposing my weaknesses (pull-ups, for the love of God, pull-ups!), but I found I can do well under pressure and I got a PR along the way (140# snatch). It was a 3 day roller coaster of highs, lows, and wtf's...I love to hate that anxious panic attack in the minutes leading up to the 3-2-1 GO! The best moment is that split second after "GO!", right when all that nervous energy gets transformed into kinetic energy; which I'm pretty sure is, like, a law of physics or something. Crossfit has transformed me in ways I couldn't imagine. For starters, I'm no longer afraid to walk over to the "men's side" of the gym. It's also not unusual if I'm picking up a heavier weight than the dude doing his bicep curls, and start doing some dumbbell thrusters if I need a quick workout. That in itself has been a mini transformation for me. And recently I tried rock climbing for the first time outdoors in Kings Canyon National Forest. I had the opportunity to do a multi-pitch climb and was shocked that my arms weren't shaking – at least not from lack of strength. Being able to trust and use my legs and pull my body up with my arms was an amazing application of the functional fitness I train for inside the gym. In short, I've found what works for me. Any gym where the clientele applauds a 31 year old woman walking on her hands down the length of the gym is my kind of gym. Literally, no weird looks, just an actual round of applause for a little handstand walking. How cool is that? I just want to play, challenge myself, and stay healthy in the process and I get to do that every day. If you or someone you know has an inspiring story to share about achieving goals, overcoming obstacles or stepping outside the comfort zone, send them our way. That's how we found Michelle!

Life Lessons in a Years Worth of Roller Derby
Finding Oneself in Leading Others
Every person experiences life changing events (LCEs) in their life – both positive and negative. As a social worker and runner, I firmly believe in the power of exercise to undo the negative effects of LCEs. I started running after I got married not only because I needed to lose weight, but to do something that was just for me, amidst the togetherness of a committed relationship. I continued to run through the pre-mature deaths of my twins, Lucas and Larissa, and then after the births of my daughters, Sophia and Samantha. As a mom, running took on new meaning. I wanted my kids to know that "being healthy" doesn't just happen – you work hard for it, like everything in life that's worth working for. I thought I would be done with any significant LCEs until my kids went off to college. Wrong!! Last year, my husband got a job in the heart of Silicon Valley, San Jose, CA. The stress of moving across the country and being away from all our family and friends took a toll on me – I gained 15 lbs and had the hardest time adjusting to our new life here. So, I started running again after the holidays. The problem: running alone is not my forte and the runs for the local running groups didn't fit with my schedule. If I were to run first thing in the morning or after work hours, I would have to bring sleepy and/or hungry kids in the jogging stroller. And who wants that at their 7 AM run or 6 PM run? Not me – and they're my kids! What was a running mom to do? Enter Moms RUN this Town (MRTT) – a FREE nation-wide running club for moms, by moms. The name intrigued me because I believe moms (and women in general) run the world and if we had the opportunities to do it on a larger scale, the world would be a much better place. Since there was no chapter in San Jose, I contacted the founder and found myself as the new chapter leader of Moms RUN this Town-San Jose! At first, I recruited moms who I became friends with through my kids. Mid-morning, we would run with our jogging strollers, then let the kids out to play and have lunch. Exercise time for mom and the kids get a play date - a match made in heaven! My first consistent running partner was Ellen, mom of 2, who hadn't run for over 5 years. Yet, after only 2 months, we completed a 5K in less than 35 minutes – a PR for both of us! After that race, MRTT took on a whole new meaning for me. I made up some fliers and put them out at local running stores, coffee shops, supermarkets. Then, I got really bold and started handing them out to women I saw running or walking with a stroller or with kids. I became part of a larger group of like-minded, strong moms who did RUN their corner of the world. Junella, has young four kids, works part-time, and gets up at 5 AM to run since she is training for a marathon and a 5K obstacle run in October. Patricia, who has grown kids, has run/walked a half marathon every month since June of this year. Melanie is mom to a 4-legged "kid" and is training to run her first marathon this October. Truc-Co last ran in college (over 10 years ago, but she'll tell you it was only 5 years ago!), yet since joining MRTT, she has been running 3-4x/week while pushing her 2 year old in a jogging stroller! She has signed up for the Title 9K (her 1st race), a half marathon and a 5k obstacle race. She has also perfected the art of opening snacks and juice boxes and picking up various toys that have been tossed out of the jogging stroller all while maintaining a 9-10 min/mile pace. In the 3 months since our group started, we've grown to include 30 women with varying running backgrounds (1st time run/walkers to experienced racers) and in various stages of motherhood (1st time moms with new borns to older moms with grown kids). We've created a community of running moms who inspire and support each other. Every time I log on to our Facebook page and read their posts and comments, I am humbled by their strength, dedication and kindness. We each know what it takes to make the time to run when you're a mom. For me, MRTT was what I needed to get back on track to the healthier life I wanted to have. It was not just the physical act of running that helped to mitigate the negative effects of my LCE. It was the social, mental and emotional connections made through running (and specifically from running with other moms) that contributed to my life adjustment and satisfaction. When I found out about the Title 9K race series, I thought it would be a great first race for our newer-to-running moms but also for our seasoned-running-moms. The fact that it was for women only and accommodated strollers was a bonus! Most of us have only run with strollers and most races don't allow them. Also, having it be all women gives it more of that community, "we're all in this together, no matter what your pace may be" feeling. Lastly, since 9K is not usual race length, we're all sure to PR!! MRTT, Title Nine and the Title 9K Race Series all have the ideal of women as powerful and influential at their core. We matter – to our families, our communities, our countries and the world. Our lives are full of LCEs that can threaten to stop us, but the rhythm of running keeps moving us forward one step at a time.If you're interested in joining Mom's Run This Town San Jose you can find their information here.

"Ten Thousand Reasons" is Newest Summit Public Art Sculpture
Tuesday, June 17, 2014 • 9:26am
SUMMIT, NJ - New Jersey artist Willie Cole recently installed his latest sculpture on Summit's Village Green, entitled "Ten Thousand Reasons."
The large piece is constructed from 10,000 recycled water bottles, which were collected over the past several months by school children in Summit as well as by the artist.
On a recent morning, a class of elementary children from Brayton School met with the artist on the Green as he was beginning the assembly of the piece. They asked him all sorts of questions, from how he would put the actual sculpture together to why he became an artist.
The sculpture will remain on display for at least a year, and should be viewed in both sunlight and lamplight, as well as when the wind is blowing, since it is a dynamic piece.
Commissioned and funded by Summit Public Art, "Ten Thousand Reasons" is one of many pieces that can be seen and enjoyed all over Summit. Summit Public Art receives no public monies and is funded solely by private and corporate donations.
If you wish to contribute, donations can be made through the secure site Network for Good, located at donatenow.networkforgood.org/1391655.

Very great location, safe all the time. Clean, friendly staffs.
There was only one thing that I can't stand. One lady across thr hall way makes noise all the time. But I think this was her problem not hotel's falut. Because I didn't hear nothing from room right next to me.
Price and location are good. Quick checkin and checkout process.
Rooms are too small. If you are traveling with many luggage youay have trouble. The rooms on 3rd floor seems to be slightly bigger than the ones on the 5th floor.
Location is the only good thing of this hotel
Tiniest hotel room I ever saw! Wifi doesn't work except for a few minutes and then it looses reception. You can't get a decent sleep because when you put on the heating, it gets very loud and the bed keeps on moving When I complained they said its normal as they have some weird heating system.(I was on 3rd floor). Even YMCA has bigger rooms. When you put yr suitcase next to yr bed there is no room left to move. And no closet for yr clothes. It's that tiny. Any other place you get will be better value than this place
It was the only hotel I could find in this area.
I paid extra for a two bed room, since I was planning to travel with someone else. When I arrived alone, they put me in a one bed room that was about 3 feet bigger than the bed. I was too tired to go back and argue.
If you are familiar with the transportation in the city location is pretty good. Clean rooms.
Staff did not leave a good impression on me at all. Rooms are very, very small. You can barely move throughout the room. If you are tall then you will not fit in the bed, your feet will be sticking out
good location - close to subway, huge room, good services, little kitchen with fridge and hot water
slow wifi (i had to go to Starbucks for sending the work, but luckily one is behind corner), staff is helpful but not very friendly
What a hidden gem! Small, tidy, cheap and in a brilliant location. Sure, the rooms are small but if you are looking for a base from which to get out and about, the room size is not an issue.
A kettle and bar fridge in the room would be nice so we could make a cup of tea at the end of the day. Only a small issue, to be honest!
Good for the price though I catch a promotion fare ($101 with taxes). Very clean, close to Central Park. Downside, very tiny rooms, no breakfast.
Tiny rooms
Price and location.
The bed needs a blanket - not just the bed spread.
The location is excellent. Close to both subway and Central Park. The bed was firm & the room/bathroom very clean.
I think the computer kiosk should be complimentary for paying customers. I was there w/out computer access & that would have helped a lot.
The location - close to public transportation, restaurants, shops, and attractions. The hotel is clean and comfortable; though rooms are small and fairly basic, the Belnord represents a good value for Manhattan.
No bad experiences. I couldn't access the WiFi but other nearby locations - including the Barnes and Noble at 81st Street - have excellent WiFi.
location and transport access were great. not in tourist country per se and so food prices were very acceptable with good quality
bed a bit short, even for a 5 ft 9 inch adult. we preferred the twin bed room.larger with more storage
- The hotel is located in a nice neighborhood. Location is 15 min walk to the Museum of Natural History and the subway. - The first room we got, we could not sleep because the floor literally shook because of some machine working. We ask to get a different room and the second room downstairs took care of the problem. Thanks to the receptionist for this.
- For 2 persons, the room is super small, I cannot open luggage comfortably. - Wifi Internet not working properly in laptop but OK with phones, there is a timeout so you need to login frequently and periodically. - The walls are thin, we can hear people walk because the hall is literally 3 meters from our bed. - Beware that they automatically take out 100% of your first night the day you booked the room. I did not check this was confused why they charged my credit card twice. Additionally upon arrival you are asked to pay the whole bill already.
Though small the room had been well thought out and planned. Immaculately clean. Good space for clothes and all other items. Good beds (very comfortable), a great district with shops, restaurants, and very good transportation. Near Central Park and numerous museums. Loved it and can't recommend it highly enough. I am originally from the upper west side so know what I'm talking about. My British husband also was extremely impressed.
location close to city center wi-fi worked good most of time
noisily at night, couple of times i woke up hearing the loud speech, even you'll hear ordinary conversations of other guests clearly because of thin walls
the hotel is clean and at a nice location
the front desk is poor ...just two men and one grl are nice.....at night they had a guy that seems to be mad when has to hel people but just one ....
Very clean and quiet hotel--everything worked and the other guests were well behaved. Staff was good, but it crowded the computer room, used it as a lounge.
No chair in my room, which meant that I had to lie in bed or stand up, making it very hard to read. No place in bathroom for my things, had to keep moving them back and forth. Room very cramped.
I was very pleased with the location of the hotel. the subway station at s short block away was the best.
the staff was not very friendly. did not sugges. inform us of coffee ice machines etc. gave us or key without a word. hotel maintenance insisted to be let in to measure a side table. I asked him to return n he didn't. My husband was furious.
The Belnord is like small European hotels. It is located in a great neighborhood with brownstone, small family restaurants and bars on Central Park. A quick walk across the park by the reservoir puts you on the east side with great museums of ART. The 1 subway expresses downtown to every location for locals and tourists in NYC. I especially liked the low key, private and quiet atmosphere of the Belnord. It was an exceptional value but the very big or very tall would find the configuration of the bathroom uncomfortable and maybe impossible to accommodate largess.
The linens and comforters were not white crisp, laundered sheets. The comforter had definitely seen better days about a decade ago. Believe me, the management would be responsive if there were bedbugs. The floors are old polished wood, no carpet, and quiet without all the sirens and traffic of midtown.
Decent location. Good value. Free Wi-Fi. Modern bathrooms and rooms.
Air leaked through windows, necessitating stuffing towels under them. Bed was way too soft, giving one of us severe pain.
Very good place out of the noise and the good employees, they are very respectful
When I get in the hotel , I use my debit card I normally had to be charged $81 but I've been changed $100 and after that they $48 extra money, I am still asking my self .
The location was perfect. Our room was small, but very nice.
The comfort of the bed.
There is no microwave available. The front access doesn't have a ramp for wheelchair guests.

A great way to let the whole world see just how cute and wonderful your pet is! We reach over 50,000 people per month, so this is your chance to shine!
Pomeranians are sometimes called "Puffballs with feet" and require careful grooming. Poms do not need as much grooming as some other long haired dogs, however you should brush your Pom 2 or 3 times a week. Brushing and then combing will be important to keep tangles away. Be prepared to do extra brushing when your dog is shedding.
Ear mites will cause your pet to scratch at his/her ears, which will cause the hair in that area to matt very quickly. A quick run down is that you should bath your Pomeranian on a regular basis. It is very important to wash your Pom often because dirt and dust are abrasive to it's coat.
Show dogs should be bathed weekly and at 4 to 6 week intervals during winter months. Bathing is helpful in stopping many of the skin irritations that Poms can have. It is recommended that show dogs be bathed 2 to 3 days before a show. The use of talcum powder should be done very sparingly.
Nails should be kept as short as possible on this toy dog. Trimming should be done at least every 3 months. If your pet has any unremoved dewclaws, keep those trimmed short also. If nails are not trimmed regularly, they will become overgrown and continueb to grow inside the dog's flesh. Read Pomeranian grooming

President Calls for Equal Treatment for Gay & Lesbian Service Members in State of the Union
For immediate release:

202-621-5406 or firstname.lastname@example.com
President Calls for Equal Treatment of Gay & Lesbian Service Members in State of the Union
(Washington, DC) Army Veteran and OutServe-SLDN Executive Director Allyson Robinson released the following statement in response to tonight's State of the Union Address by President Barack Obama:
"President Obama was very clear tonight in his assertion that lesbian and gay service members and their families must be treated equally by the nation they serve. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta opened the path to equal recognition, benefits, and support to gay and lesbian service members this week. To finish the task, the Supreme Court must strike down the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. Secretary Panetta's successor must enact equal opportunity and non-discrimination policies that protect LGBT troops and ensure America's military can attract and retain America's best. And outmoded, obsolete policies that bar qualified American patriots who are transgender from military service must be eliminated. At OutServe-SLDN, we and our 6,000 LGBT members in uniform stand ready to work with the President, Congress, and the Pentagon to make this vision a reality."
ABOUT OUTSERVE-SLDN: OutServe-SLDN is the association of actively serving LGBT military personnel with more than fifty chapters and 6000 members around the world It works to support a professional network of LGBT military personnel and create an environment of respect in the military with regard to sexual orientation and gender identity. It is a non-partisan, non-profit, legal services and policy organization dedicated to bringing about full LGBT equality to America's military and ending all forms of discrimination and harassment of military personnel on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. OS-SLDN provides free and direct legal assistance to service members and veterans affected by the repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law and the prior regulatory ban on open service, as well as those currently serving who may experience harassment or discrimination.

Good men, women should join trek toward freedom
Unfortunately, freedom and liberty for all remains an elusive prize for some. Earlier this month, a statue of Jackie Robinson sitting outside MCU Park in Coney Island was vandalized with spray-painted swastikas and racist slurs, as reported by CBS.com. At AmericanNaziParty.com readers are warned time is running out to save the white race.

quote:what difference does this make, at this point?
quote:Since UHC only has about 2% of the market, what difference does this make, at this point?
quote: Which really means there will be a two tiered healthcare system analogous to private and public education system. The haves will pay for the public and private healthcare and receive excellent healthcare. The percentage of people that will be able to afford this will probably max out at 10%. The rest of the 90% will enjoy the fruits (mostly rotten) of public healthcare. The tragedy is that before Obamacare 84% of the people were enjoying excellent healthcare for the most part. Now to cover that 16% without healthcare (they still got emergency room care) we need to down grade the healthcare or make it more expensive for the 84%.
quote:I thought that was against the law?
quote:Hopefully the carriers that are not participating will think about experimenting with a plan that is offered regionally or nationally.
quote:I had heard BC has 80% of Louisiana.

1/ We just released the first version of Chat Center on the App Store. https://t.co/JvQ3Ftm9oh …
— Keith Teare (@kteare) June 28, 2014
Downtown launches in Palo Alto
With today's launch of Downtown, Palo Alto residents will be able to purchase goods from a curated list of high quality local stores. Their purchases can be delivered for free or picked up the same day.
Local shopping can be frustrating and time consuming. Avoiding the travel and the point of sale has been a primary driver of online ecommerce growth. Local retailers have suffered a decline in sales to cloud based vendors as a result. But Downtown plans to change all that.
The two decades long decline of the high street, due to too little innovation discovery and purchasing of goods is set to end.
Downtown simplifies commerce by offering customers a curated list of high quality local stores. Ordering is as simple as just 2 taps from their mobile device. They can pick their purchase up at the store, or get same day delivery for free. The chosen stores now have the ability make their top items mobile and available.
Downtown has built an app for the store to manage their inventory and an app for the consumer to discover, purchase and take delivery. Pricing can benefit from demand knowledge, extending dynamic pricing to the high street for the first time.
The Downtown team is design-driven and strongly believes in a curated shops approach to create a truly great shopping experience.
Co-founder Phillip Buckendorf said:
Most of the existing e-commerce solutions have their roots in a website driven experience. We have built a mobile-first experience that takes into account the opportunities smart mobile devices provide. We have made it available to both merchants and customers.
Today, Downtown is announcing the roll-out of its first city – Palo Alto – featuring a great mix of local stores including Alegio Chocolate and big brand retailers like Keen Garage.
Downtown's launch is its first move in making local stores mobile, and providing consumers with the ease of shopping of Amazon, together with same day delivery of pick up – customers can now make purchases efficiently and seamlessly without physically being in the store.
Downtown also announced its seed round of funding led by Archimedes Labs – investors in Quixey, M.dot, QFactor and others. Archimedes Labs founder Keith Teare said:
We invested in Downtown before Christmas and are announcing it today. We will also participate in their current round. Downtown is not a local delivery business or a local payment platform for brick and mortar shopping, Nor is it a local version of Amazon. It is all of those and then some. Once the high street becomes shoppable from home, the small guy makes a come-back. Phillip and his team have a great vision and the ability to execute. We expect great things.
DownTown is available now in the iOS App Store.
Chance by just.me – new version goes live.
Chance by just.me is the first app to be produced by the new just.me (just.me 2014 Inc).
After a successful launch on 1 January the app has had tens of thousands of downloads, has a highly engaged user base with average session times above 15 minutes, and is truly global, having established users in more than 100 countries. Almost 2 million messages have been exchanged in the first 3 weeks.
Here are a few screen dumps from Google Analytics that show the initial launch statistics.
QFactor raises $6.5m Series A
TechCrunch is reporting that one of the Archimedes LAbs portfolio companies – QFactor – has raised a $6.5m round of financing from Sigma Prime Ventures and Venrock.
I first met Subhash Roy in March 2012. He was a former associate of Archimedes CEO Kambiz Hooshmand. Subhash had licensed and developed a new algorithm that on the face of it was like magic. It could enable a bad wireless connection to perform almost perfectly, thus re-invigorating unused bandwidth. We helped with product planning and positioning and are now happy investors in Subhash's company. Congrats to the entire team.
Quixey launches App Search on Android
xTV launches Network Builder and receives funding
We are excited to be partnering with xTV as the first investor in their new funding.
xTV is a business to business platform enabling any owner of video assets to create their own branded TV Network, with an always on, 24/7 presence. The Network leverages both on-demand and live programming by integrating YouTube and other video sources, Ustream, LiveStream and other live sources, and feeds, such as a Twitter feed. The end result is a Computer, Big Screen or mobile viewing experience. A mobile device also has "second screen" capabilities.
xTV has set up several experimental networks, including one for TechCrunch TV (which I originally set up). I have to say that the ability to watch TCTV on a big screen (say in a lobby) or at home whilst working, makes me see a lot more of the content that I otherwise would. It also screams out for more real time content from TCTV. I can't wait for the editors to make video production a matter of reflex every time they write a story. Perhaps interviewing the person via Skype along with their written notes. A regular news show would also sit well with me.
As we move to a world of connected TV's, set top boxes and other "Over the Top" delivery mechanisms, those who invest in video content, especially live content available on-demand too, will reap the rewards as audiences grow and distribution expands. xTv is a great set of tools to begin the work of moving into this space. It adds brand coherence to otherwise dispersed video assets, whilst improving discoverability, watchability and engagement.
You can check out the experimental Networks at http://xtv-inc.com

Painting of scenes from everyday life, of ordinary people at work or play, depicted in a realistic manner. In the 18th century, the term was used derogatorily to describe painters specializing in one type of picture, such as flowers, animals, or middle-class life. By the mid-19th century it was being used more approvingly, and it is still popularly used to describe works by 17th-century Dutch and Flemish painters such as Jan Steen, Gerard Terborch, Adriaen van Ostade, and Johannes Vermeer, and later masters such as J.-B.-S. Chardin in France, Pietro Longhi in Italy, and George Caleb Bingham in the U.S.

Integrating the 16 Habits of Mind. In outcomes-based learning environments, we generally see three elements in play: 1) learning objectives or targets are created from given standards; 2) instruction of some kind is given; and then 3) learning results are assessed.
These assessments offer data to inform the revision of further planned instruction. Rinse and repeat. But lost in this clinical sequence are the Habits of Mind that (often predictably) lead to success or failure in the mastery of given standards. In fact, it is not in the standards or assessments, but rather these personal habits where success or failure -- in academic terms -- actually begin. Below are all 16 Habits of Mind, each with a tip, strategy or resource to understand and begin implementation in your classroom. Instructional Strategies for Gifted Learners.

In addition, Katie and I have co-authored a piece for Education Week Teacher on the topic that will be appearing there soon (it's appeared: The Five By Five Approach To Differentiation Success), and an upcoming post in my blog there will be talking about it, too (that two part series has also appeared).

Direct Address to this Page: Anyone who has worked in education for any length of time knows just how important it is for teachers to create differentiated classrooms.
If schools are truly working to ensure success for every student, learning experiences need to be customized and aligned to student interests, needs, and unique learning styles. The challenge, however, rests in making differentiation manageable. Digital Differentiation. Technology is a tool that can be used to help teachers facilitate learning experiences that address the diverse learning needs of all students and help them develop 21st Century Skills.
At it's most basic level, digital tools can be used to help students find, understand and use information. When combined with student-driven learning experiences fueled by Essential Questions offering flexible learning paths, it can be the ticket to success. Here is a closer look at three components of effectively using technology as a tool for digital differentiation. Note: The interactive graphics you see below have been updated. Differentiation - tools, tips and resources. Differentiation is an important aspect of education.
Students learn differently, have different needs, different backgrounds, different skills, different ability levels, different interests and more. As educators, we try to create engaging lesson activities that provide a variety of learning experiences and allow students to demonstrate their learning in different ways. Differentiation should occur in both how students learn and gain knowledge and skills, and in how they demonstrate and are assessed on what they have learned.
"In the practice of education, differentiation is defined as working to address the abilities, interests, and needs (both perceived and real) of individuals. Differentiation provides students with opportunities to approach curriculum from their strengths, as varied as these might be." Differentiating Using 21st Century Tools - Mahara.
