Embrace a well paid, intensive yet enjoyable career by undertaking this comprehensive and practical course. It is delivered by live distance learning and presented by some of the leading Plant Engineering instructors in the world today. There is now a critical shortage of senior Plant Engineers around the world due to retirement, restructuring and rapid growth in new industries and technologies. Many industrial enterprises throughout the world comment on the difficulty in finding experienced Plant Engineers despite paying outstanding salaries. Often universities and colleges do not teach Plant engineering as a core subject. Much of the vital knowledge (e.g. practical maintenance planning and procedures) you need when commencing work as a qualified Plant Engineer is missing from their curricula. However, there are a few notable exceptions with some highly dedicated practitioners. Many of those universities and colleges that do teach Plant Engineering do so mainly from a theoretical point of view.
Furthermore, lecturers often have insufficient experience in industry due to the difficulty in attracting good engineers from the highly paid private sector. The aim of this 18 month eLearning program is to provide you with core Plant Engineering skills. The course gives extensive coverage in the various fields of Plant Engineering. Subjects are covered such as Plant Operations, Facility Management, Instrument Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Safety and Financial Management. Practical knowledge is not neglected; a Plant Engineer should also be well informed about metal forming, joining, heat treatment and protection.
This course avoids over emphasis on theory. This is rarely needed in the real industrial world where time is short and immediate results are required. Hard-hitting and useful know-how, are needed as minimum requirements. The format of presentation, live, interactive distance learning with the use of remote labs, means that you can hit the ground running and be of immediate benefit to your company or future employer.

Live Webinars
The webinar schedule is not put together until after registrations close. The reason for this is that the program is promoted globally and we often have participants from several time zones. When you register, you will receive a questionnaire which will help us determine your availability. When all questionnaires are returned we create a schedule which will endeavour to meet everyone's requirements. Each webinar runs 2 or 3 times during each presentation day and we try our best to ensure that at least one session falls into your requested time frames. This is not always possible, however, due to the range of locations of both instrcutors and students. If you are unable to attend the webinars scheduled, we do have some options available. Contact us for more details.
Practical Exercises and Remote Laboratories
As part of the groundbreaking new way of teaching, we use a series of remote laboratories (labs) and simulation software, to facilitate your learning and to test the knowledge you gain during the course. These involve complete working labs set up at various locations of the world into which you will be able to log and proceed through the various practical sessions. These will be supplemented by simulation software, running either remotely or on your computer, to ensure you gain the requisite handson experience. No one can learn much solely from lectures, the labs and simulation software are designed to increase the absorption of the materials and to give you a practical orientation of the learning experience.

Mechanical Engineering encompasses the conceptualisation, design, manufacture, control and maintenance of machines ranging from a conveyer, space shuttle to nanotechnology based objects. In broad terms, mechanical engineering channels the energy and forces in nature to the service of people. The fields in which mechanical engineering professionals operate are wide - ranging from oil and gas, power generation, water utilities, process plants, mining, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and defence.
A diploma in mechanical engineering is ideal for anyone wanting to get involved in the general engineering (whether design or maintenance) of large plants, especially as a plant engineer. Recently, mechanical engineering has begun to include many new systems in the electronics and control arena such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and SCADA as these are critical to the control of mechanical devices.
Students in the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) School of Mechanical Engineering can study an Advanced Diploma of Mechanical Engineering with subjects that include: mechanics, structural engineering, drive systems, rotating equipment, hydraulics, pneumatics, lubrication engineering, HVAC, pumps, compressors, machinery safety, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.
The focus in EIT's School of Mechanical Engineering is in providing students with both deep and broad skills in mechanical engineering technology, focusing on real systems. Whilst there is probably not a shortage of theoretically orientated practitioners in mechanical engineering, there is a need for highly skilled, practically oriented engineers, technologists and technicians, due to the rapidly increasing use of new technologies which are becoming a key component of all modern plants and equipment. Studying our mechanical engineering diploma online means you don't have to take extended periods away from existing work commitments.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The "conspiracy of silence" that protected Jerry Sandusky extended all the way to the top at Penn State, prosecutors said Thursday as they charged former university President Graham Spanier with hushing up child sexual abuse allegations against the former assistant football coach.
Spanier was charged with perjury, obstruction, endangering the welfare of children, failure to properly report suspected abuse and conspiracy.
Prosecutors also added counts against two of Spanier's former underlings, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, who were already charged with lying to a grand jury.
Curley and Schultz face new charges of endangering the welfare of children, obstruction and conspiracy.
"This was not a mistake by these men. This was not an oversight. It was not misjudgment on their part," said state Attorney General Linda Kelly. "This was a conspiracy of silence by top officials to actively conceal the truth."
Spanier's lawyers issued a statement that asserted his innocence and described the new charges as an attempt by Gov. Tom Corbett to divert attention from the three-year investigation that began under his watch as attorney general.
In Miami, Stephen Morris threw for two early touchdowns, both set up by Virginia Tech special-teams miscues, and Miami took a step forward in the chase for the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coastal Division title by beating the Hokies.
Duke Johnson had a 7-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter and finished with 217 all-purpose yards for the Hurricanes (5-4, 4-2), who snapped a three-game slide.
Logan Thomas had a 73-yard scoring run on a quarterback draw for Virginia Tech (4-5, 2-3), which lost to Miami for only the third time in the past 10 meetings.
ALABAMA: Steve Spurrier says Nick Saban and powerhouse Alabama have what it takes to compete at the highest level.
"Alabama, gosh, they look like they could beat a couple of those NFL teams that I've watched on Sundays," Spurrier said on The Dan Patrick Show.
"I think a lot of the oddsmakers out there that usually know what's going on, I'd guess Alabama would be favored by a little bit."
Spurrier's notion that Alabama would be favored over a pro team is not shared by oddsmakers in Las Vegas. According to RJ Bell of Pregame.com, the Crimson Tide would be a 24-point underdog against the 1-6 Jacksonville Jaguars on a neutral field.

Zortac gives people power without guns, richness without debt, spirituality without fanaticism, knowledge without diplomas and governance without insanity. He shows why there is abuse, ill health, poverty, unhappiness and who profits from this misery.
Zortac's Key unlocks the real reason there are wars, terror attacks, racial hatred, famines, abuse, political lies, corruption, financial collapses and discontent in a simple, easy to read format.
If you are having the most wonderful time on planet earth, congratulations, this is not the book for you.
If however, you are struggling personally or financially and wonder why governments are ineffective, pursue warfare, lie, increase taxes, sell national assets, become more secretive and abusive, then The Key will provide the answer to your questions simply and easily.
If you are or have been part of an abusive, violent relationship, The Key will help you understand and recover your life from your dangerous situation. If you are a victim of racial or religious persecution, The Key will unlock the secret door of prejudice.
This true, short story follows the journey of a young, abused boy who ultimately discovered The Key to controlling social structures. Like a scalpel, it surgically slices through the onion skins of society to reveal the black heart of humanity's problems.
The answer to ancient and modern social and environmental problems is so sickly simple it will make you wonder how you didn't think of it yourself. Not only does The Key answer the questions you may be asking about your current society, it provides solutions. The knowledge you gain gives you an immediate answer to all social problems. You will be able to predict what world leaders, local politicians and economies will do in the future. You will have the knowledge to improve the way the world is controlled.

All the doors that prevent you from seeing the truth will swing open.
You will have the key to unlock every secret of your society. Your world will look refreshingly different and exciting when you finish reading and you will discover a four-letter word that terrifies your leaders.

If you are looking for the Hollywood mantra of sex, violence, murder and intrigue, all of that is in The Key, just not the Hollywood formula. In fact, even Hollywood hasn't thought of a few of the twists in this book.
It is impossible for a normal, feeling human to believe that a mother could hate her daughter to the point of murder and reward the rapist of that daughter with extravagant gifts, houses and have sex with him. It is nearly impossible for a normal human to believe the colossal untruths unleashed by religions, corporations and governments. The Key unlocks the vault of knowledge available to you and reveals how these extraordinary events occur. This isn't a science fiction novel, yet the answer to human enslavement is far more bizarre and unbelievable than any fiction writer could ever imagine.
If you miss reading this extraordinary book, you may still have your head stuck in the sand as the tsunami of global abuse sweeps over you. This book will provide you with the tools you need to clearly identify and nullify the few socially adept monsters that have controlled societies for centuries.

The Key shines the spotlight of truth on the people who feast on your pain and frustration and delivers the understanding that allows you to break free of their strange and twisted world. The Key is literally the key to unlocking the reason your world seems on a collision course with catastrophe. It is the key to understanding the way all societies are engrossed in controlling you.
We are born into the society around us and it is difficult to see the fire because of the smoke.

You will discover the real and powerful you.
The Key makes sense of the nonsense around you.
What would you pay to know the real reason your society makes things more difficult every single day. What would you pay to know the real reason there are wars and stock market crashes? What would you pay to find out the real reason money hungry governments suck you dry? When you finish reading The Key, you will have the X-ray vision to see the real reason your society is rotten to the core. You will easily understand why governments are focused on warfare and money.
I believe, the information I have accumulated over a lifetime of intense research is worth well over $50,000 per copy. I would have paid anything to discover the real reason I was conscripted to fight in the Vietnam War and later surrender my life to soulless Corporations. The information I discovered is priceless, but to get the information to the people who need it the most, I will not charge
$20,000 and not even $200 per copy. This book is FREE.

पञ्च- वाही वहति अग्रम एषाम , प्रष्ट्यो युक्ता अनु सं वहन्ति ।
We have our experiences in present time,through sense organs.All the process of senses become invisible in the meditation no one knows where they have gone.Which was so far becomes the nearest,and the nearest becomes so far. Here the memories which were so far now coming nearer to nearer after this chitta zone the realization becomes the nearest.
In the meditation the nearest objects senses like smell,touch,taste etc now go away far and far.
So for meditation it is very essential to use the Panch Pranas.
Pranayama has the fire.This fire takes in deep meditation.This fire is responsible to produce introvert nature and connect to the glory of the Agram.The highest peak of meditation.This Agram catches the Pranas .Now the perceptions of physical body and process of senses merge in its own origin.So they remain far.Agram handles the Pranas and energizes with purity.

PATRICK ROBERTS cursed Celtic's sluggish start against PSG that left the Scottish champions with the toughest of mountains to climb on Tuesday.
But the Manchester City winger, who made his first Parkhead bow after returning on loan for the season, insists confidence in the Celtic camp over their European progression has not been dented as a result of the 5-0 thrashing.
Neymar put the Parisians 1-0 ahead on 19 minutes but even before that point the French outfit had the ball in the net only for the flag to go up to deny Edinson Cavani. In truth the home side never recovered from a whirlwind start by their visitors, and Roberts said: "I thought we could have made it more difficult for them from the first whistle but that is something that we need to learn. we need to go for it from the start.
Loading article content
"The first half was sloppy. We knew their quality, the game plan was to try to keep the ball as much as we could but at the end of the day they are world class players and they punished us.
"You could sense that fter the game. We let ourselves down. We should have plated more of our game."
Turning his attention to the game with Anderlecht on the horizon, the winger added: "It doesn't damage confidence they are a top side who spend millions on their team. People expect to come here and put in a performance like that.
"We need to be at our best. And if you are not at your best they are going to punish you. It is not going to knock our confidence, we will be sharp as ever going into the next game. We will recover and go again.
"Every game in this group is important - they are all tough teams, we know that. We need to be 100% all the time. We have to be at it rom the first whistle or else they will punish us and PSG did that today. Whether it is Anderlecht, PSG or Bayern Munich we have to be at our best."

Lauren Snouffer and John Holiday Featured in Ars Lyrica Houston's A VIENNESE NEW YEAR, 12/31
The Grammy-nominated early music ensemble Ars Lyrica Houston envelopes its guests with festive music by the legendary composers of the Viennese royal court at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, December 31, 2012 at 9 p.m. at Zilka Hall, Hobby Center for the Performing Arts. The concert program featuring two rising stars of the opera stage - soprano Lauren Snouffer and countertenor John Holiday – will include arias and duets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Christoph Willibald Gluck. The magnificent instrumentalists of Ars Lyrica Houston will perform works by J.H. Schmeltzer, Johann Joseph Fux and Johann Strauss, the "Waltz King."
The concert is followed by the Ars Lyrica Annual Gala at 10:30 p.m. in the Grand Lobby of the Hobby Center. Guests will enjoy flowing champagne, delicious hors d'oeuvres from Artista Restaurant, Viennese waltzes, and the opportunity to bid on a distinctive silent auction. At the stroke of midnight everyone will join in singing "Auld Lang Syne."
Tickets for the performance are $35, $40 or $45 per person. Student tickets for the performance are $22 with valid ID. A separate ticket for the Annual Gala is $60 per person. This magical New Year's Eve experience can be enjoyed for as little as $95 per person. Tickets for the concert and Gala may be purchased on the Ars Lyrica Houston website at http://www.arslyricahouston.org or by calling the Hobby Center Box Office at 713-315-2525.
A Viennese New Year Guests will enjoy an enchanting evening of Viennese music including a suite by Fux; a programmatic work by Schmeltzer that depicts a fencing lesson; the Pizzicato Polka by Strauss; and operatic excerpts by Mozart and Gluck featuring soprano Lauren Snouffer – a 2012 finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and currently a member of the Houston Grand Opera Studio– and countertenor John Holiday, a native Houstonian who makes his Carnegie Hall and Metropolitan Opera debuts this season.
Founded in 1998 by harpsichordist and conductor Matthew Dirst, Ars Lyrica Houston is a Texas-based ensemble that performs world-class Baroque music on period instruments. Ars Lyrica's world premiere recording of J.A. Hasse's Marc Antonio e Cleopatra brought the ensemble its first Grammy nomination for "a thrilling performance that glows in its quieter moments and sparkles with vitality" (Early Music America). Ars Lyrica's distinctive programming, drawn from the rich chamber and dramatic repertories of the 17th and 18th centuries, "sets the agenda for imaginative period instrument programming in Houston," according to the Houston Chronicle. The ensemble's first commercial release, on Naxos International, features the world première recordings of Alessandro Scarlatti's La Concettione della Beata Vergine and Euridice dall'Inferno. This disc brought international recognition to the ensemble: Gramophone, the leading journal of the classical recording industry, praised this CD for its "exemplary skill and taste," and Ars Lyrica's musicians for their "impassioned performance" of never-before recorded works. Ars Lyrica's latest Sono Luminus recording, of Domenico Scarlatti's comic intermezzo La Dirindina and his chamber cantata Pur nel sonno, was released in August 2012.

Ms. Snouffer spent the summer of 2012 covering the role of Agnes in George Benjamin's Written On Skin with the Aix-en-Provence Festival and will revisit the piece in 2013 with Maggio Musicale in Florence; the Royal Opera, Covent Garden; and the Vienna Festival. She completed undergraduate studies at Rice University, where she sang Zerlina in Don Giovanni, and earned her master's degree at Juilliard. Future engagements include her Lyric Opera of Chicago debut in 2014.
In repertoire encompassing George Frideric Handel's 'Giulio Cesare in Egitto' to Jonathan Dove's 'Flight' and beyond, countertenor John Holiday's expressive and richly beautiful voice has made him an increasingly sought after artist, possessing a "vocal instrument that threatens to equal the name artists in his range." (Herald Times)
In the 2012 – 2013 season, Mr. Holiday makes his Carnegie Hall debut as soloist in Bernstein's 'Chichester Psalms' with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under Robert Spano, as well as in performances for audiences in Atlanta. He will also join the roster of the Metropolitan Opera to cover Nireno in 'Giulio Cesare' under Harry Bicket in David McVicar's new production. Mr. Holiday made his company debut with Portland Opera in Phillip Glass's 'Galileo Galilei' in the 2011 – 2012 season and will reprise his roles in the same work at the Cincinnati Opera in the summer of 2013. He was soloist in Handel's Messiah with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra and performed with the Chorus of Westerly (Rhode Island) in their concert of Purcell's Come, Ye Sons of Art. He was also seen in a benefit concert at Dallas Opera having recently been the first place winner of the Dallas Opera Guild Vocal Competition.
Recently, Mr. Holiday was an apprentice artist at Santa Fe Opera where he covered the role of Corrado in Peter Sellars's production of Vivaldi's 'Griselda'. Additionally, he was seen as Tolomeo in 'Giulio Cesare in Egitto' at the College Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, soloist with Bourbon Baroque in Louisville, and soloist in Handel's 'Messiah'. A career highlight includes an invitation by Pope John Paul II to sing as soloist for High Mass at St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel in 2002.
In addition to the Dallas Opera Guild Vocal Competition, Mr. Holliday recently received a first prize from the Sullivan Foundation for 2012 and was also awarded fifth place in the Palm Beach Opera Competition in 2011. In 2007, he was the first place winner in his district of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. From 2004 to 2006, Mr. Holiday was a first place winner of the TEXOMA region of the National Association of Teachers of Singing.
In addition to the classical repertoire, Mr. Holiday excels in jazz music having opened for Grammy award winner Jason Mraz in concert. He is a graduate of the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University, where he earned his Bachelor of Music in voice performance and received his Master of Music degree from the University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music.

A Single Shard tells the story of a 12-year-old boy named Tree-ear. He is an orphan and lives under a bridge in Ch'ulp'o, a small village in 12th Century Korea, with Crane-man, a crippled old man. Tree-ear scavenges for food most of the time, but after a full meal, Tree-ear loves to watch the potter, Min, make his pottery. One day, when no one is around, Tree-ear sneaks into Potter Min's house for a closer look at his creations. There are many objects, but one object particularly interests Tree-ear: a rectangular, lidded box. It is undercoated on the outside, but Tree-ear suspects that the inside is more spectacular. Out of curiosity, Tree-ear decides to look inside the box and finds five smaller boxes. They fit perfectly around each other. Potter Min shouts when he finds Tree-ear, who dropped the box in fright, breaking it. To repay the potter, Tree-ear offers to work for Master Min, and it is agreed he will work nine days, as the box took three days to make. Min assigns Tree-ear the task of collecting wood and clay for his nine days of work. Tree-ear is dismayed, for he secretly wants to make a pot. After his work days are completed, Tree-ear offers to work for the potter for free in hope of getting to make his own pot. Tree-ear is assigned various tasks including chopping wood and digging clay but never has the chance to make a pot. Tree-ear eventually learns that Min will not teach him how to make a pot because Min says that it passed down from father to son, and Min's son died of fever years ago. Emissary Kim arrives and inspects the pottery. Kang is chosen for the commission. Min begins work on a new set of pottery, but smashes them because they are not as good as he wants. Min makes two vases and tells Tree-ear to transport them to Songdo. During his journey, he is attacked by a few thieves.
When the thieves smashed the pottery, he is left with just a single shard to display his master's skill (hence the book's title). The emissary is able to see Min's great skill, even from the small, broken piece, and grants him a commission. After Tree-ear returns to Ch'ulp'o, he learns from Min that Crane-man has died. Min and his wife adopt Tree-ear, giving him a new name and finally teaching him the art of pottery.

COUNCIL leaders have vowed to look into problems with pedestrian crossing lights as a matter of urgency.
Several complaints were made about the lights in Bridge Street taking too long to allow people to cross since the new Telford Bridge traffic signals were introduced.
And resident Frank Rescigno said it is causing particular problems for disabled people. "My wife uses a guide dog and it is extremely difficult for her getting across the traffic lights," he said.
"Before, it would be maybe a minute or two after pressing the button prior to the beep so she could go across. Until recently there wasn't even a beep. That is in now, but the problem is the lights aren't synchronised and anyone with a wheelchair or a guide dog can't get across even when the pedestrian lights let them because the traffic is built up, blocking the crossing.
"That should be improved rather quickly. Guide dogs are trained not to go across areas of obstruction so if nobody comes to help, my wife is stuck at the crossing. She can't go across the street unless she gets someone to assist her."
Others complained that people are taking their life in their hands as they get fed up with waiting for the lights to change and cross between traffic. Denise Short said: "People are risking their lives at that crossing. They think there is nothing coming and just go. It is an accident waiting to happen and you will have their blood on your hands."
Another man raised a number of concerns about the signals, saying: "St George's corner is an absolute nightmare, someone is going to get killed there. That is the priority, road safety above all," he said.
Coun Andrew Tebbutt promised to look into the issues with officers.

"How cute is these tic tac themed gift idea! This deserves a five star for ease, affordability and it is really fast to make them. I would love a mistletoe cutout too. Are those available too? I wish the were printable so that I could wrap something bigger than a Tic Tac"
"I came across an envelope clutch, and since I DIY my through life, I just had to make, but i didn't want a zipper on it, so i got stuck on the last step. I followed every step of this tutorial, and it was seamlessly easy, and now i have my classy DIY clutch. Thanks"
"I would just love to say thank you to this crafter! If you havent tried this craft yet, you are in for an extremely fun afternoon with your little ones. We made these on wednesday after a trip to the mall with my cousins and they havent been able to sleep at bedtime since then."
"Well, this was pretty straightforward. What makes this easier is a newspaper is cut out into a rectangle and if you have a square box, you have plenty of leftover the newspaper to wrap your gift properly and tuck those edges in neatly. If you have a larger box, you might need two newspaper pages."
"Love the use of buttons for any craft! I would use various shades of green buttons with a few smaller red ones here and there and a gold or silver one in top! If you find a star shaped button, that would be so nice on the top! Add a strand of small red twine or cording and entwine around the tree shape to resemble garland for an extra touch. And sew down with h hand zigzag stitch, unless you did the garland first. Very nice and creative craft!"

Type: Improvement
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Component/s: contrib - LangId, contrib - Solr Cell (Tika extraction)
Tika 1.0 was released November 7th and includes a number of improvements: http://tika.apache.org/1.0/
Issue Links
- is required by
SOLR-2930 Allow controlling an important PDF processing parameter in Tika that splits the words in text and is now suppored in version 1.0 of Tika.
- Open
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
First patch version.
- Tika 1.0 removes previous deprecations, so this patch changes how the API is used in a few places.
- For MailEntityProcessor we also improve detection by passing part's fileName in as MetaData
- For ExtractingDocumentLoader we now provide stream's content type as hint in MetaData, but this is not tested extensively..
- Added tests for new languages detected
- Updated eclipse classpath file to point to the new jars. Nothing done for other IDEs
One place still uses a deprecated method, that is in ExtractingDocumentLoader where we say parser = config.getParser(mediaType) - did not find the new equivalent.
If you want to try this patch, you also need three jars to be put in contrib/extraction/lib:
Patch seems to work... though the test is more evidence in addition to Mike's experiments
that something is seriously up with spanish/galician and tika's detector
Thanks for looking at it. I'd prefer if the old spanish text would still have been detected as spanish Yet another proof that the Tika algorithm is not super strong with short texts of very similar languages, but as you say, "we knew that"..
Could someone fix the classpath config for IntelliJ IDEA in dev-tools?
Could someone fix the classpath config for IntelliJ IDEA in dev-tools?
IntelliJ IDEA effectively grabs **/lib/*.jar for its classpath (where ** refers to all modules with lib/ directories), rather than referring to explicitly named jar files, so as long as you rename jars (or add or remove jars, for that matter) in library directories that were already there, nothing needs to be done.
However, the Maven configuration will need fixing, since dependencies' versions are by contrast explicitly declared: In dev-tools/maven/pom.xml.template, the tika.version property setting should be changed from <tika.version>0.10</tika.version> to <tika.version>1.0</tika.version>. (This property is used in both the tika-core and the tika-parsers dependency version declarations in the <dependencyManagement> section in the same file.) The commons-compress dependency is handled through Maven's transitive dependency mechanism, since it's declared as a dependency in the tika-parsers POM, and so no configuration changes are required for it.
New patch. Bumps Tika version in CHANGES files. Replaces deprecated getParser(mt) (2nd take, this time DefaultParser):
- parser = config.getParser(mt); + parser = new DefaultParser().getParsers().get(mt);
Small change - respect potential custom tika config also when loading parser for stream.type. Added a few exceptional tests for wrong stream.type.
Re-opening, as the jdom-1.0.jar must also be included, as a dependency for Rome used by FeedParser
Checked in jdom-1.0.jar with LICENSE and NOTICE files in both 3.x and trunk.

How much do you really remember from school?
I took 2 years of French in high school and another two years in college, and now I remember very little. I finished high school having completed AP classes, honor classes, scoring high on my ACT's, having a GPA over 4.0, and being in the top 10% of my class. Today, I have trouble helping my 8th graders in study hall with their Math homework. I keep my iPhone close at hand when writing a blog post, so I can look up the proper use of a comma (It doesn't help…I still use them incorrectly.). I know who our first and sixteenth presidents were, but trying to figure out any of them from twenty to thirty would be pretty tough. And while my brother is a science teacher, and I took Organic Chemistry, the whole world of science seems magical to me! What I remember and value from my time in school are not the bubbles I filled in on a multiple-choice test. They are not the vocabulary or dates or equations that I once put to memory.
Here's my point…I don't remember a lot from my middle and high school days, and I would guess that when it comes to content knowledge, neither do you. Sure, if you entered a certain field of study, you may be thankful for that subject in school. However, for most of us, the content we learned in school, the endless tests we studied hours for, the countless papers we wrote, and the piles of books we read have added up to a whole lot of "kind of remembering", "almost got it right", and "lucky guesses".
What I do remember from school are my experiences, my feelings, and my passions. My favorite class was sophomore English because our teacher did not accept anything less than our best. I remember dissecting a frog. My group named him pig, and we thought that was very funny. I clearly remember the excitement of band tours, the pride of Key Club service projects, and the challenge of Driver's Ed. Above all, I remember stepping out onto the stage for the first time as a chorus member in Fiddler On The Roof, and I knew that it was where I belonged. School gave me a lot of memories. However those memories are not content knowledge based.
So the question we need to ask as teachers is…
What are students going to remember about our classes?
Join #Edbean on Tuesday, February 17th at 9pm CST to discuss what we are teaching and what are students are really learning. Reflect on the questions below and join us on Tuesday.
Q1: Let's start tonight's chat by looking back! What are some of your strongest memories from your years in school?
Q2: Looking specifically at "learning" memories – What are some memories you have of WHAT you learned and HOW you learned in school?
Q3: We all have different opinions on WHAT should be taught. Please share your views on what needs be taught in today's classrooms for students to find success.
Q4: "We HAVE to get through FILL IN THE BLANK!" Many teachers feel bound by national standards, state testing, and curricular guidelines. How can teachers meet these educational requirements without having to be content-focused?
Q5: Content is what teachers are trained to teach. If we are not going to focus on content, what should the focus of our teaching be?
Q6: In these types of chats we can get very theoretical. What are practical steps teachers can take to move beyond a content-focused classroom?
Q7: Assessment is essential! If the focus is not on content, tests based on content-knowledge cannot be the only form of student assessment. What else needs to be assessed and how can teachers assess it?
Q8: Some of us have taken steps to change the purpose of our classroom. Please share stories of how a change of focus has allowed for greater student growth and learning.
Want to learn more about how you can take the focus of your teaching off of content?

- I traded some email with a representative of The Last HOPE this morning. MARCH will NOT have to pay for access to the conference on Saturday, July 19. So, we're back on! Let's have a Trenton-style presence there, minus the PDP-8.
Who can commit to going that day? HOPE needs me to supply names as soon as possible.

I personally feel you're making a mistake settling for one girl. Local men have many girls on the go. How do you know you won't find a girl you like better? This is the problem with silly, "loyal" guys - you're just dummies who don't look for better girls, while girls in the US are always looking for a better guy - this is called hyperagency.
I wouldn't be so quick to assume that he is making a mistake. She is graduating from college (intelligent and ambitious) and is a decent looking girl, assuming she is the one pictured in the avatar. I realize that many HA posters feel threatened by intelligence and ambition in a woman, but some see those as positive qualities.
Loyalty does not necessarily equate with being easily manipulated. If loyalty is silly then disloyalty must be smart. But only for a male. If a female is disloyal then she would be a slut. Gotta love that HA logic.
Not at all - if you're spending thousands travelling, its dumb to go all that way for one girl - you might hate eachother when you meet. I didn't mean to be a "slut" - just to have several girls to meet so there's chance one will be right. He's not married yet so he can meet other girls. I got this idea from one of Steve Hoca's interview and the ebook on the Phillippines.

Make it happen please.
Then name your price. I'll literally buy it.
Make it happen please.
Then name your price. I'll literally buy it.
Observation: Hours and hours of YouTube
Hypothesis: If I do nothing other than stop YouTube entirely, except for Dan Kennedy's Wealth Attraction seminar, I'll make money this week.
Experiment: No more YouTube this week and month, except for Dan Kennedy's Wealth Attraction.
Observation 1: Watched Dodger and Cry play video games all day.
Observation 2: No TotM done for sales or copywriting.
Observation 3: No appointments made or even people contacted.
Hypothesis 1: My irrationally long penis… err I mean my irrational consumption of YouTube videos results from a negative use of Cialdini's Influence principles.
Hypothesis 2: Fear of unknown and ambiguous
How will I prove this false or true?
Break commitment to it. Imagine that everyone is doing the Theater of the Mind experiment. Like myself as a salesman-prospector. Doubt the length of time I have to get appointments. Authoritatively tell myself to enjoy the Theater of the mind.
Haven't made a million dollars yet.
If I devote 30 minutes a day to improving my copywriting skill AND 30 minutes a day to improving my sales ability through Psycho-Cybernetics's theater of the mind, will I make the $200,000 in sales for Dan by Dec 31, 2014?
One 60-60-30 a day. First 10 minutes prep the TotM experience. 30 mins of TotM.No moving from a spot is allowed. Nothing besides nature sounds or Mike Oldfield is allowed. One cup of coffee is permitted. 10 mins improving the TotM experience–Psycho-Cybernetics on Psycho-Cybernetics. Ten minute break repeat for other skill, Cw or Sales.
Fear enables an acid-like, turning situation in your gut. Your legs feel like stone. The vision blurs. An almost screeching-like static coats the edge of your vision. But not in an obvious way. Like in a subliminal way–such as the 'buy popcorn' way movie theaters experimented with.
Maybe you write down the experience in your journal, hoping it'll pass through observation. Maybe you use an anchoring technique from NLP or Tony Robbins. Maybe your just do the thing you fear, so that the death of fear is certain. Or maybe you just sit around, watching fear transmogrophy into regret–the heavy, poisonous feeling of possible pleasure gone forever.
Whatever you do. In most cases, there's a thing you do that makes it so much harder on yourself. An it's ironic because it IS what you need to think like when you handle your fear: simple.
Fear often comes from the unknown. But regardless of fear, it usually stems from the feeling that it's too much. We won't be able to do it because there's too many moving parts.
"Complexity is the enemy of action," as Tony Robbins says in an interview with Joe Polish. If that's the case, then we can reasonably deduce that:
Simplicity = Action, and
Action = Confidence (or death of Fear)
Granted, there are thousand variables I've yet to tell you about. I know for a god-damned fact that THIS ALONE WILL NOT HELP YOU.
But you must do this whenever overwhelmed by fear. You must simplify what you're trying to do. Our brains, while magnificent, IS limited in the regard of how many things we can focus on AND reasonably act on.
Final tip: Focus on simplifying ACTIONS and PAYOFFS.

Session 8
In today's episode, Ryan and Bryan talk about how much stuff is actually on the MCAT. If you're scared about taking the MCAT thinking about how much of a beast it is then it's time to face your fears and start with listening to this episode as Ryan and Bryan give you a little taste of what the MCAT is really like in terms of its depth. Honestly, it's not as bad as you think it is. However, that doesn't mean you can rest on your laurels because then again, you need to understand that the MCAT is a unique beast of its own.
Here are the highlights of the conversation between Ryan and Bryan:
The outline itself is 126 pages long. It's intimidatingly broad, but extremely shallow (a classic mile-wide but an inch-deep)
Yes, you have to know Physiology. Physics, and Organic Chemistry but you don't have to know the level of detail that you probably had to know for your college classes.
MCAT Prep books are much slimmer than your stack of college books. It looks like a lot, but it's not that bad.
The real trick:
The breadth creates a variety of material that can be tough to juggle all at once.
What you need to equip yourself with:
Coming up with learning techniques to amalgamate all different kinds of information.
How do you work through so much information?
Challenge yourself and ask yourself, what are you the most terrified of?
What topics really scare you? Then those are the things that you need to start with.

AAMC MCAT Guide
Dr. Ryan Gray: The MCAT Podcast, session number 8.
A collaboration between the Medical School Headquarters and Next Step Test Prep, The MCAT Podcast is here to make sure you have the information you need to succeed on your MCAT test day. We all know that the MCAT is one of the biggest hurdles as a premed student, and this podcast will give you the motivation and information that you need to know to help you get the score you deserve so you can one day call yourself a physician.
My name is Dr. Ryan Gray from the Medical School Headquarters. I also host The Premed Years Podcast which has been out for four years now, and I host the Old Premeds Podcast for nontraditional premed students. So if you haven't checked out those podcasts or everything that we're doing in the future, including a couple new podcasts we're working on, you can see all of that at www.MedEdMedia.com.
As always I am joined by an awesome member of the Next Step Test Prep team, this week I am again joined by the Bryan Schnedeker, Vice President for MCAT content and tutoring. So Bryan we talked a couple weeks ago about running out of time, we talked last week about some tips and tricks and- we don't want to use that word 'tricks,' I'm sorry. It's not a magic trick, right Bryan? We talked on how to work through passages, but at the end of the day let's talk about the 800 pound gorilla in the room, and talk about how much stuff is actually on the MCAT. I think if I were to go into the AAMC MCAT guide, that book that we talked about several weeks ago, and just look at all of the topics, I think I would have a heart attack because it looks like 1,000 times more information than was on any of my tests in college.
Amount of Information on the MCAT
Bryan Schnedeker: Yeah the outline itself is 126 pages long, and the outline is a pretty superficial outline. So yeah, it's certainly intimidating. And like you said, you compare it to your college classes where maybe you had a final exam where you were expected to learn- or relearn one semester's worth of material for one subject, and then along comes the MCAT and says, 'Haha, here's two and a half years' worth of stuff all at once,' right? The thing to remember about the MCAT is it's intimidatingly broad but it's extremely shallow. You know it's the classic a mile wide but an inch deep. And so yes, you do have to know your physiology, and yes you have to know physics and organic chemistry, but you certainly don't have to know them at the level of detail that you probably had to know them for your college classes. So you don't need to have that heart attack because you're not being asked to stack up a set of college textbooks. I mean imagine if you took all your science textbooks from your first two and a half years of college and stacked all those up, that'd be ludicrous, right? But MCAT prep books are obviously much, much slimmer than that, they're much more streamlined. So you know, first you've just got to kind of take a deep breath and go, 'Okay it looks like a lot but it's not that bad.' The real trick comes in from- even at a shallow level the breadth creates a variety of material that can be tough to juggle all at once. Like in studying for an immunology final exam let's say, everything kind of hangs together, right? Even though it's hyper detailed, everything is within the context of the immune system so the information fits better. Whereas with the MCAT there's almost nothing in say the sociology that you have to memorize that's somehow going to tie back into, I don't know, an inclined plane in physics, right? So you have to be really, really good about coming up with learning techniques to amalgamate all that different kind of information.
Dr. Ryan Gray: I know for myself and just from human psychology that we tend to avoid things that are painful, and when there's a subject that is tested on the MCAT that we find painful and we're not good at, my assumption is that students would try to avoid that because it makes them feel bad, it makes them feel depressed, and they want to go study things that they are good at learning, and they do show results on the test. How do you work through that knowing that there's so much information? That breadth, even though it's shallow, how do you dive into that stuff that you're not so comfortable working with?
Bryan Schnedeker: Yeah there's a couple of things to think about approaching that. I mean number one, I know with my own tutoring students, I just don't cut them any slack. I mean one of the very first things I always do in chemistry is electrochemistry because every college freshman chemistry class in the world puts galvanic and electrolytic cells at the end of the school year, and maybe your teacher drops your lowest grade so you're like, 'Oh I've already got an A, I'm not even going to study for this last test.' So I think we really just kind of have to buckle down and challenge ourselves and say, 'What am I the most terrified of?' And here's how I put it to my students. I say you're sitting there taking the real MCAT, let's imagine, let's picture a little study carrel and an uncomfortable chair, and a 10,000 year old Dell desktop computer that you're taking this computer on. You hit that little button that says 'Next' in the corner of the screen, and a passage pops up. What is the topic that makes the pit of your stomach just fall out from underneath you? Makes you feel like you're on an elevator going down at 1,000 miles an hour? What is that topic? And then the kid will say something like, "Titration curves," or something they really hate and I say, "Great you just told me the very first subject we're going to study in the tutoring." Then of course our listeners can do that for themselves, right? They can ask themselves, 'What's the thing I'm terrified of? Okay well I know what I'm starting with.'
Final Thoughts
Dr. Ryan Gray: Alright there you have it. So much information on the MCAT, but as Bryan said it's wide but not deep, or shallow but not wide. I forget what he said but it was pretty good. It's a lot of stuff but it's very shallow. That's the word he used, very shallow. You don't have to dig deep like your midterms or finals for your classes in undergrad. The MCAT, the AAMC, the people behind the MCAT can't expect you to know all of the nitty gritty on every topic that they want you to know. So they just want you to know a little bit about all of it.
So there you have it. I hope you got a ton of great information today. Do you want to help us here at The MCAT Podcast? Go tell your advisor, go tell your classmate, go tell fellow premeds, go scream from the SDN forums and your Facebook groups that you are in. Let them know that we are here and we are here to help every week at www.TheMCATPodcast.com. And The MCAT Podcast really, that's what we do. If you are interested in checking out everything that Next Step Test Prep has to offer you, go to www.NextStepTestPrep.com, use the promo code MCATPOD all capital letters, and that will save you some money off of tutoring, off of their new MCAT course, off of their books and practice tests, a little bit of everything. Go check them out, again www.NextStepTestPrep.com. And I hope you join us next week as we are going to talk about pre-req's and what you need to worry about with the MCAT.
Have a great week and we will catch you next time here at the Medical School Headquarters and The MCAT Podcast.

Health Insurance needed more during Diwali
Posted by Royal Sundaram on 05 Nov 2015
Why Is Health Insurance Needed More During a Festival Like Diwali?
With the beginning of the new festive season, the propensity for extravagance gradually comes to the fore for many Indian families. Being the busiest time of the year when it comes to gatherings, the festival of Diwali is perhaps one of those times when people spend and revamp more than they do during the rest of the year. And since plenty of domestic or external tasks and chores beckon at this juncture, the amount of safety and precaution one must maintain is also important. While the idea of having options like health insurance may hardly rank high in your list in Diwali, here are a list of valid and compelling reasons why holding a bankable health insurance can really come handy during a time like this!
A shot in the arm during spending highs
Being a truly important time in the usual year with its cultural and religious significance, your role as the breadwinner (or the better half) of the family will have you undertaking several tasks such as overseeing household renovations, tweaking the family car, consulting specialists for any changes, planning a new business or large purchase (such as a second home), organizing a family reunion and so on. Such a hectic schedule will obviously entail not just plenty of man-hours relentlessly spent into this, but also have your expenditure hit an all-time high. Thus, in this regard, having health insurance will be the saviour to any kind of medical assistance that you or anyone else urgently requires during this period. Letting the insurance firm tend to this, will not only give you peace of mind but also allow you to avoid paying through your nose at a time when your coffers are depleting faster than ever.
It keeps you prepared for any eventuality
Right from a family elder's blood sugar shooting up abnormally to one of your nephew sustaining burns from an ill-timed cracker, the amount of activities that we pursue in Diwali can lead to an umpteen number of calamities. Holding some form of health insurance can provide a cushion that blunts the impact of something unannounced occurring like this, giving you more room and options to tackle the problem right when it occurs.
Fast-tracking treatment in an inopportune time
Due to the universality of Diwali and its impact on businesses and society, dispensaries may remain shut and doctors could be off-duty. Having your usual family physician away can be problematic to deal with, especially when any untoward incident requires immediate attention. This should be reason enough for you to purchase a health insurance in order to avail immediate treatment in the event of any hospitalisation during times such as these.
Always remain alert and have your backup in place not only during such auspicious times but at all times. Remember to consult providers such as Royal Sundaram that offer Lifeline Health Insurance Plans, catering to the needs of you and your family. Be safe and celebrate in peace!
