Utterly horrifying: ISIS militants gun down hundreds of CHILDREN in most sickening video
A SICKENING video has emerged appearing to show depraved Islamic State (ISIS) militants gunning down hundreds of Syrian children in a horrific new low for the twisted terror group.
The video appears to show Islamic State (ISIS) militants gunning down children
The distressing footage shows around 200 bound children being forced to lie face down in a line as they await the mass execution.
The corrupt killers are then seen opening fire on the children with automatic rifles, ending the terrifying video.
While the authenticity of the footage has yet to be verified, ISIS have been known in the past to film their barbaric executions before posting them online as a sick warning to the West.
The evil militants have also boasted about killing children as part of their evil terror regime and self-declared Caliphate.
One of the terrorists pointing a gun in the video
The video - which Express.co.uk has decided not to show - first began circulating online earlier today by a Yemen-based anti-ISIS activist, and has since sparked fury across the world.
One commenter wrote: "God burn Daash [a derogatory Arabic term for ISIS] and their supporters."
Another added: "Lack of ethics and humanity, under the guise of religion."
The sick footage is believed to have featured around 200 children
The sickening video is the latest in a long string of ISIS propaganda
The latest ISIS propaganda comes just months after the evil group released footage appearing to show caged prisoners being lowered into a swimming pool to drown.
Other sickening killing methods filmed for the world to see include prisoners being beheaded and burned alive.
Currently the group have control of large swathes of land in both Syria and Iraq, with Russia in the middle of a blitzing campaign against the terror group in Syria.
It also emerged today that the United Nations are anticipating large numbers of Iraqis to flee the war-torn country as forces prepare to reclaim the northern city of Mosul.
It is not clear when the Iraqi offensive against ISIS will take place.

How to become a Diving Instructor with one of the recognised organisations is a challenging and rewarding task. There are a few routes to take in order to gain all of the qualifications needed, and the one you take depends on several factors like time, personal preference, and to some extent, weather conditions and this article will look at the direct route to becoming a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor or OWSI.
Become an 'Open Water Diver'. This is the first step on how to become a Diving Instructor and it teaches you the necessary skills and methods for you to become a competent diver. The course will start with academic sessions in which you will learn the basic information required to understand what happens to your body when you dive and how to plan your dives safely. This is followed by the confined water sessions in a swimming pool or other controlled environment where you will be introduced to the skills you must complete in order to progress. You will then complete four open water dives and complete many of the skills that will form the basis of your continued development through to instructor level.
After completing your 'open water diver' course, progress onto the PADI advanced open water course. This course consists of five open water specialty dives; deep diver, navigation, and three dives of your choice. The dives you choose will be down to your personal preference but guidance will be given by your instructor.
After completing your five advanced dives, move on to the rescue diver course, where, as the name suggests, you will learn to be of assistance to instructors and dive masters in an emergency situation. The course begins with a first aid standalone course called Emergency First Responders course, or EFR. You will learn basic first aid, useful in everyday life and also how to deal with dive related injuries such as decompression sickness. The course will then move to the pool where, once again, you will learn the skills to enable you to aid other divers that may be in trouble. The course then culminates with open water dives, in which situations will occur and you will be expected to use the skills that you have learned over the course to rescue the diver or divers in trouble.
Take the Dive Master Course. At this point, you will be a competent and experienced diver, able to deal with many situations that may occur in day-to-day diving life and well on your way to be learning how to become a diving instructor. The next major milestone on your progression of how to become a diving instructor is the dive master course. This is a structured course in which you will learn new skills and methods, how to run a dive boat and lead dive trips, as well as assisting instructors with their courses and providing support for students on their open water, advanced or rescue diver courses. You will sit exams and gain further knowledge in the science of diving, such as physics and biology. You will also cover the basics of teaching skills such as with a scuba review for those that have had a gap in between diving. The course will enable you to dive as much as you want, which is beneficial as you will need at least sixty dives in order to be signed off as a PADI Divemaster.
Take the Instructor Development Course or IDC. This final course takes about three weeks and consists of the PADI Assistant Instructors course, the Instructors Development course or IDC, mock exams and final practical exams. Once you have completed and passed this final course you are now ready to take the Instructor Examination or IE. This is a program that is administered by PADI headquarters and may be done at their headquarters building in Rancho Santa Margarita, or an Instructor Examiner may travel to your area on a set schedule. The IE consists of a closed book five part Dive Theory Exam, an open book PADI Standards and Procedures Exam, giving a classroom presentation, a confined water skill presentation, confined water skills assessment to demonstration quality, two ocean skills presentations, and an ocean Rescue assessment. After successful completion of the IE, you are awarded a certificate of completion and are designated an Open Water Scuba Instructor or OWSI. And that's it on how to become a diving instructor!

Elementary Robotics
View the "Engagement" video below to see our budding roboticists in action.
Class periods for Robotics in grades 2-5 are 1-2 hours in duration, once a week for 8 weeks. During the first class, students are introduced to breakthrough technologies, trends, and current issues in robotics and they are presented with a problem to solve collaboratively.
For the next 7 weeks, partners share a robot and a computer, and teams progress through the four levels of programming and engineering challenges at their own pace. Students receive certificates when they accomplish the benchmark tasks at each level. Students receive mission points for certain tasks and earn a Learner's Permit and Operator's License. Finally, they have the opportunity to become a Robotics Engineer. Second and third graders use LEGO Mindstorms NXT, and fourth and fifth graders use the EV3 robots and software.
Click the links below to view the Robotics Scope and Sequence for Grades 2 – 5 and examples of the mission task sheets for earning Mission Points, a Learner's Permit and Operator's License, and finally, Robotics Engineer.
View the video below to watch CFSD teachers as they collaborate to learn the strategies and skills to engage in and help facilitate Robotics missions.
Collaboration is an essential component of a problem-based educational robotics program. Challenging, open-ended tasks encourage students to work together and share ideas. Peer support and interaction lead to increased confidence, deeper learning, and new and better ideas.
The skills for effective collaboration must be taught, modeled, and practiced over time. In Robotics it starts with how to share a computer and a robot. The metaphor of a "driver" and a "navigator" provides a framework for defining and understanding the expectations for proficiency. Robotics is the "vehicle" in which students can learn how to discuss and disagree, negotiate and compromise, fail and succeed, when to take turns, and when to take charge.
Collaboration skills in Robotics are measured using the rubric below. The performance areas in the Collaboration rubric are the same as those found in CFSD's deep learning proficiency (DLP) rubric for Collaboration.

Sterling's Post
Dr. Ur- Drone Photography and Photogrammetry
Students and staff at the Berry Site were excited to welcome Dr. Jason Ur to the 2019 Field School. Dr. Ur, a Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University, specializes in landscape archeology. His archaeological work is usually done without a shovel or a trowel as he produces maps on a massive scale, sometimes involving surveys of hundreds of square miles of land. Dr. Ur tries to answer the big-picture questions, such as how people changed their landscape. These massive surveys search for ancient canals, roads, burial mounds, and other clues that provide insight into the lives and cultural values of the people who once lived in these ancient settlements.
Traditionally, archaeological maps that archaeologists such as Dr. Ur prepare have relied upon three methods: satellite imagery, released spy photos, and ground surveying. There are advantages and disadvantages to all three.
Satellite imagery is the most popular method because it is not labor intensive and can cover a large area. However, satellite photos are very expensive to buy, even more so if the satellite must be commissioned to perform a flyover of the site.
A more accessible method is spy plane photography. Released government photos from spy planes provide an inexpensive birds eye view of the ground. While cost is not an issue with this tactic, archaeologists have found that these images tend to focus more on military installations rather than archeological features. Unless a spy plane happened to be recording an archaeological site between military installations, then there is almost no chance that they took relevant photographs of any archaeological sites.
The most familiar technique is ground surveying, which always must be performed. It is often performed in conjunction with other methods. With ground surveying, archaeologists trek across the ground, marking geologic and human-made features on maps. The process is labor-intensive and time-consuming but it is extremely accurate and vital to understanding and helping to date the features and sites within the region.
While these three techniques are staples of modern archaeology, archaeologists are always looking for even better techniques and strategies. New advances in technology have revolutionized the site-mapping process, providing a cheaper and more efficient system than any of the more traditional methods. Dr. Ur visited the Berry Site to discuss and demonstrate an exciting and innovative new system: drone photography and photogrammetry.
Drone photography could be the key to mapping large areas quickly and inexpensively, which is crucial for sites that are operating on grants and donations. For instance, Dr. Ur didn't need to go through the expense and process of contacting officials to attain a satellite fly-over. Dr. Ur only needed a camera-equipped drone to take photographs, and an iPad to see the feed from the drone camera. While these items are not exactly cheap, they are inexpensive compared to the costs of commissioning a fly-over of a satellite.
Drone photography is helpful to archaeologists in several ways: multiple, detailed photographs of the archaeological site are made, along with a record of the GPS coordinates of each photo. The archaeologists can input the photos and their locations into a computer software program which then "stitches" them together into a 3D image of the site with accurate lengths, widths and depths. This method is called photogrammetry.The detailed 3D images are helpful to archaeologists and laypeople to visualize and understand the site. The photographs and GPS coordinates are also very useful to the archaeologists when it comes time to actually excavate the site.
Technological development in the field of landscape archaeology will revolutionize the way that archaeologists view sites and their surrounding landscapes while also providing the public with a glimpse of bygone societies. The Exploring Joara Foundation extends its deepest gratitude to Dr. Ur for his work at the Berry Site and the significant impact that his work will have in increasing public understanding of the Native American town of Joara and Fort San Juan as well as assisting archaeologists in future exploration of the site.

EJCN Diabetes Day 2018 Web Collection
As the escalation of diabetes continues globally it is more and more critical that we work together to combat its impact on the world
The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition is delighted to bring you a web collection to mark World Diabetes Day 2019. November is Diabetes awareness month and the 14th is always marked as World Diabetes Day. While there are other forms of diabetes, this web collection focuses on type 2 diabetes. In the summer of last year we pioneered a special issue on T2DM in India and China; two nations that will feel the brunt of this escalating disease. Eighty percent of cases of T2DM are preventable through the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.
In this EJCN web focus we offer the reader a range of interesting research covering newer perspectives, clinical nutrition and genetic/molecular insights into the problem. We hope this will enable a better understanding of mechanisms and thereby stimulate pragmatic lifestyle approaches in combating the escalation of this disease worldwide.

The Berkeley Yacht Club was the perfect setting for "A Day of Irish Information" on Wednesday, July 9, 2008. The waterfront location served up cool breezes on a hot East Bay day. And what better place to discuss the Emerald Isle then at the water's edge?
President Jane Lindsey started things off with a few society announcements, including an overview of upcoming speakers and workshops. Many of the 116 in attendance were not members of the California Genealogical Society but by day's end eight attendees took advantage of a $5 discount offered by Jane, and joined CGS.
Nora Keohane Hickey presented four entertaining lectures on several aspects of Irish genealogical research in her lilting Irish accent. A natural storyteller, Nora often included colorful anecdotes which added interest and humor to a subject which can be dry and overwhelming. Ms. Hickey talks fast so the full day of information was a bit challenging for some of the beginners in the audience.
Nora's first talk was "Debunking Some of the Myths of Irish Genealogy" - a humorous and informative list of common fallacies including "All the records were burnt" and "I found the location on a Surname Map." Using her own KEOHANE as an example, Ms. Hickey explored the "Of course I know how to spell my surname!" myth with some surprising variants, including COHAN and COHEN. (The famous "Yankee Doodle Dandy" George M. COHAN is a cousin.) Nora told of once reading a ship passenger record that listed eight COHENs – one came from Germany but the other seven were from Ireland. She summarized this first part of the day in two words: "Question EVERYTHING!"
One interesting inside story from Nora concerned the loss of the 19th century Irish census records (some surviving snippets are available on microfilm at the Family History Library.) The 1821, 1831, 1841 and 1851 records were destroyed in the Dublin Four Courts Fire of 1922 and the 1861 - 1891 records were pulped (recycled to make paper) during WWI. Nora explained that the order to pulp was meant only for the second, duplicate sets that existed for the countries of Great Britain, preserving the original records. Unfortunately, the fact that Ireland had only one set somehow escaped notice (!) and the sole source was lost for 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891.
Nora got right into fundamentals with her second session, "Extracting All the Important Information from Griffith's Valuation." This was a thorough discussion of the 1848-1864 tax valuation records whose significance to Irish researchers is elevated due to the loss of nineteenth century census records. Griffith's lists every house and land holding in every townland and includes the names of landowners and tenants alike. Nora explained the meaning behind the map reference numbers in the first column of the property listings and stressed that the real value of Griffiths is that it serves as a guidepost to further avenues of research. Nora presented a case study demonstrating how knowing the surnames of a couple can often help to narrow the search for a parish of origin using the surname distribution data from the valuations. She ended the morning session by providing information about the Valuation Maps, the House, Field and Tenure Books and the Valuation Cancellation Books.
After the lunch break (the box lunches got great reviews!), Nora launched into "Little-known and Under-used Irish Genealogical Sources" which she prefaced by noting that she defines a genealogical source as "any document containing a name and a date." Her handout contained scores of publications, arranged by century, that focused primarily on her own family counties of Kildare and Cork. The general message of this talk was that you never know where you will find valuable information, especially since many records were removed from Ireland, taken to England and may be available in Irish, British and American repositories.
The final session of the day, entitled "A Discussion About Common Problems in Irish Genealogy," asked two key questions: 1.) "Are you looking for the correct surname?" and 2.) "Are you looking in the right location?" Due to time constrains, Nora referred the audience to three pages of her handout which summarizes the development and evolution of Irish surnames and gives clues to help the researcher find possible variations. She spent considerable time defining the administrative divisions of Ireland which are complicated because of the way they overlap. Nora explained how the various ecclesiastical and civil divisions developed and why it is imperative to know the divisional category that describes each record type.

When marketing a mobile app, it's important to prioritize your goals and objectives. It helps you narrow your focus and develop a successful plan of action.
Does the number of downloads or installs an app receives indicate whether or not a mobile app campaign has been successful?
It might seem logical, but we believe that metrics that focus on retention like cost per daily active user are far more useful key performance indicators (KPIs) to judge the success of your efforts.
The long-term success of an app is not marked by raking in installs, but having loyal users that are regularly engaging with the app, purchasing, converting, and incorporating it into their daily lives.
It is certainly healthy to set long-term goals, but when it comes to app marketing, its necessary to think in the short term, too. When doing so, think beyond the install and cost-per-install targets. Instead, think about what you really want to see from users. Is it engagement? Active use? Revenue? Figuring that out will help you gain a clear picture of what your short-term objectives should be and develop a plan to balance focusing on the short and long term.
Though every app is different, a few key performance indicators tend to be shared amongst most of our clients. They are:

Our integration is fully compatible with WooCommerce bundles, which are a separate product type (vs simple, variable or grouped.) It's important to note that you need the Woocommerce.com Product Bundles plugin to build a bundled product in WooCommerce.
In QuickBooks Online, it's entirely possible to create a Bundled product – much like you do in WooCommerce. First, you create your base/standard products, then you create a new product – and choose the Bundled type. Then, you choose the base/standard products to include in this bundled product.
With our integration, we support the mapping of a WooCommerce bundle to a QuickBooks Online bundle. By supporting this mapping, when a bundled product is ordered in WooCommerce, the mapped bundled product will be correctly listed in the QuickBooks Online invoice/sales receipt – to properly record the sale/inventory for that order.
Here's a simple guide of what you can accomplish with bundled products using our QuickBooks Sync:
You are able to:
- Map a WooCommerce bundled product to a QuickBooks bundled product
- When a bundled product is ordered in WooCommerce, the mapped bundled product in QuickBooks Online will correctly be shown in the order synced to QuickBooks Online.
- Sync inventory between base/standard products in a bundled product between WooCommerce and QuickBooks Online.
You are unable to:
- Push WooCommerce bundled products to QuickBooks Online. You must manually create bundles in QuickBooks Online.
- Pull QuickBooks Online bundled products into WooCommerce. You must manually create bundles in WooCommerce.
As discussed above, the only requirement in our integration regarding bundles is to map them correctly. You may do so in MyWorks Sync > Map > Products. This can easily be done in several ways:
Auto-Map by SKU (recommended): As long as the WooCommerce Bundle and QuickBooks Online Bundle have matching SKUS, you can scroll to the bottom of the page and click the button to AutoMap by SKU. This will scan both WooCommerce products and QuickBooks Online products and automatically match the ones with matching SKUs to save you time manually matching them.

Got a secret, can you keep it? Well, turns out that Riverdale showrunner isn't as great at keeping secrets as Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa posted a teaser trailer for his new Pretty Little Liars reboot to Instagram, and two things: 1. "A" is back, bitches. And 2. According to new plot details, this isn't the PLL you used to know.
Yesterday, September 24th, Aguirre-Sacasa posted a 10-second teaser trailer for the "new generation" of Pretty Little Liars to his Instagram page. No, there's no shot at the cast or even any footage (we have to assume they haven't cast or filmed anything yet), but there is a reveal of the new title and some hints about the plot.
The PLL reboot will be called Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, according to the teaser.
The video begins with red lettering across a black screen. "It's not what you think, bitches," it reads before the screen is signed, of course, with "A." In his caption, Aguirre-Sacasa wrote, "Secrets to die for. Sins to kill for. A new generation of little liars." But, just as important, his hashtags seem to reveal some of the mysteries at the core of Original Sin.
"#kiss-and-kill #coming-of-RAGE #where-is-angela-waters?? 💅🏻👠🔥💋💄💃🏻🌹🎭🎟🚑☠," he wrote.
First of all, "coming of rage" is some excellent wordplay. Secondly, it seems like "where is Angela Waters?" is this generation's "where is Alison DiLaurentis?" As for the emojis, we've got nail polish, heels, fire, lips, lipstick, dancing, flowers, theater, tickets, an ambulance, and a skull. Draw what you will from all of those, but the energy definitely feels throwback Pretty Little Liars.
According to Deadline, the plot centers on a new set of girls, a new, much different town, and, of course, loads of new secrets. Here's the reported plot summary:
"In the dark, coming-of-rage, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe—in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars."
In the existing Pretty Little Liars universe? Does this mean Angela Waters knows Alison DiLaurentis exists? That "A" has been in the news? So. Many. Questions.
In his post, Aguirre-Sacasa also noted that he's "very honored and excited to be working on this, especially with #CAOS super-writer and #PLL savant" Lindsay Calhoon. (CAOS is the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which was recently canceled.)
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin has already been picked up for at least a season by HBO Max. The teaser said that it was "coming soon," but truly it can't come soon enough.

I'm a Yankees fan, so my standards for baseball stadiums are impossibly high.
That's why I didn't expect much when I came to St. Petersburg for the summer. I'd heard all the negative things people here said about Tropicana Field (someone at work called it "the black hole of doom" ), but then the Yankees came to town and I decided to go see for myself.
The night before I went, with the Red Sox in town, a foul ball shattered a catwalk light and ESPN's Orel Hershiser called the Trop the worst ballpark in Major League Baseball, which I'm sure didn't help the dome's self-esteem issues.
I had tickets for the first game of the Yankees series. I was sitting in Section 301 when lightning struck, knocking out a bank of lights behind first base and setting off another round of Trop bashing.
I, however, couldn't have been any happier to be there.
It seems no one can see past the rough edges when it comes to this ballpark, with complaints about everything from the color of the dome to the catwalk lights. But every stadium has problems — even the seats at historic Wrigley Field are said to be too narrow.
But it's not an accident that the July 18 game was the first time I'd watched the Yankees in person since the old stadium was retired. Believe me, I have wanted to see my team in action at the new stadium, but I can't afford it. I'm living on a college student's income.
Our tickets for the Trop were $20.50 each, and that includes a $3 charge from Ticketmaster. We were in the upper deck right behind home plate, and we were shocked to find that we could actually see the frown on A.J. Burnett's face from some of the highest seats in the stadium.
Those seats in Yankee Stadium would be considered mezzanine, with another deck above that. For any of those tickets — mezzanine or upper deck — you could pay from $63 to $340, depending on where along the field you'd like to sit. If you're lucky, you can find something for $25 in the upper deck in the outfield where batters appear to be the size of a flea . As far as I can tell, there's no such thing as a bad seat in the Trop.
Not only are the tickets affordable, but the stadium-provided parking is a luxury in itself. It's $20 to park just 50 feet from the entrance. Yankee Stadium parking runs anywhere from $35 to $48 — and that can be as far as a block from the stadium. If you don't want to pay that much, you risk having your car broken into in some random lot in the Bronx. Here in St. Pete, it only took me five minutes to drive from my house just north of downtown to the stadium.
Tickets and parking are not the only ways that the Trop outscores Yankee Stadium. Say you get hungry. A hot dog and a beer at the Trop will cost you $5 and $6.50, respectively. That's how much they were in New York almost three years ago. And the restrooms in St. Petersburg are cleaner. In my final old Yankee Stadium restroom encounter, the stalls were covered in vomit. Thanks for the rancid parting memory, New York.
Here in St. Pete, you can always run across the street to Ferg's before or after the game for a bite and a brew. Try running across Grand Concourse for a beer.
The Trop is hardly old as stadiums go. Yes, it may need a few renovations, and I'm not talking about removing the dome, which isn't plausible in a state known as the lightning strike capital of the United States. But moving the Rays out of St. Petersburg means tossing away the team's history there — and this includes Wade Boggs' 3,000th hit and home games in the 2008 World Series.
The old Yankee Stadium is gone. No longer can I set eyes on the baseball Holy Land where Babe Ruth pointed to the centerfield bleachers, where Lou Gehrig told the world he considered himself "the luckiest man on the face of the Earth," where Paul O'Neill attacked water coolers in the dugout.
Many have suggested that a move to Tampa would boost the number of fans who attend games, but would it really? The Great Recession has put a damper on recreational spending everywhere, and, well, it's not the Rays' best season. But baseball is baseball, regardless of where it's played.
The Trop may not be perfect, but it's good enough for one of those picky Yankees fans. I'll happily come back even if my boys in pinstripes aren't in town.

How About a Little Love for the Trop
I'm a Yankees fan, so my standards for baseball stadiums are impossibly high.

Free LPN Training Programs in Indiana
You can become an LPN in Indiana by attending a nursing program or attending a college offering an LPN Degree. You can have a very good career as a nurse and will have room for advancement in your career. It is a good idea to look for free LPN training options and other ways to help you cover the cost of your education.
Nursing Education Loan
If you already hold a degree as an LPN, you might be able to recover some of the money you invested to obtain your degree. Some areas have a high need for qualified nurses. Depending on the area where you work, you might qualify for the nursing education loan program. If you qualify for this program, you might have up to 60% of your student loan balanced paid back for you. This is a big help if you used student loans to become a nurse.
Tuition Reimbursement
You might qualify for tuition reimbursement if you are an LPN who is about to be hired by a new employer. Some healthcare facilities will reimburse you for some of the tuition cost you paid out to become an LPN. You should ask any potential or new employers if they offer any tuition reimbursement programs. You have nothing to lose by seeing if an employer will pay you back for some of the amount you paid for your degree.
Free LPN Programs with Student Aid
Complete a Federal Application for Student Aid to determine what types of grants and work study you might qualify for to help pay your education. You will enter information about your financial situation so that a determination of the amount of money you can be awarded can be made. You can receive grants and other aid from your college, the state and the federal student financial aid programs. In some cases you will actually receive enough financial aid to cover all of your educational costs.
Indiana State University Scholarships
The university offers a range of scholarship options for nursing students at different levels. One example is the Mildred R. Bennett Scholarship. This scholarship is for nurses who are looking to further their career by going for a Bachelor's Degree. The focus of the scholarship is students who wish to have a career as a teaching nurse, nursing educational administrator or a nurse working in the operating room. Other nurses will also be considered depending on the applicants and the availability of funds.
If you are attending another nursing school in the state, you should talk to the financial aid department so that you know if there are nursing specific scholarships provided through the school itself.
Indiana Healthcare Foundation
The scholarships through this Indiana Healthcare Foundation help individuals to achieve their goals to become a nurse. Students will need to live in the state of Indiana if they are to qualify. They will also need to have been accepted into a nursing program to become an LPN, RN or higher. Three letters of recommendation are required and students can be interviewed. This is not an income based scholarship. It is one that is more merit and recommendation based. Find application information at: www.ihca.org.
Free LPN Programs in Indiana with WIA
Brightwood College (Kaplan College)
The Practical Nursing Diploma program at Brightwood College also formerly known as Kaplan College in Indianapolis combines classroom instruction with practical, hands-on training in both laboratory and clinical settings. Graduates of the Practical Nursing program learn to provide basic patient care, give injections and perform routine laboratory tests. Applicants must satisfy all admissions requirements as outlined in the school catalog before being accepted into the program. An applicant must submit all paperwork the school requests along with completed financial aid forms before acceptance is official. Most students receive financial aid packages, which include grants, loans, work-study and sometimes need-based scholarships to help finance their education. The types of financial aid for which students may qualify to receive are based on eligibility.
Marion Community School of Practical Nursing
The Marion Community School of Practical Nursing in Marion, Indiana is a full-time Practical Nursing program that extends over a 12-month period. The program is designed to help students develop practical nursing skills and prepare for the state nursing board exam. Classroom instruction is scheduled during the day.

Innovative startup business, Union Oriental Foods, tasked 21 Digital with creating an online store for their new business venture. Of course, we jumped at the chance to work with such a fantastic, unique brand that was clearly set for big things!
The website was to be aimed exclusively at Warwick University's international students. It was to offer them authentic oriental produce delivered direct to campus. With the company's new service, there would be no need to lug shopping bags for miles and miles – as you can imagine, this was a real bug-bear for many students on campus! And whilst the website was aimed at the needs of international students, there's no doubt that the more confident chefs and foodies at Warwick University would be indulging in Union Oriental Foods produce too!
After an initial consultation with 21 Digital's marketing director, Sam Fletcher, we had a clear brief in mind. We started with a brand design, defined by market research and ideas generation, which we then developed to give a polished final design that brought Union Oriental Foods' brand to life.
Once this had been designed, we were able to focus on the company's website – presenting a variety of website options to the team to further enhance their business objectives. After taking into consideration our ideas and plans, the online oriental convenience store opted for a Magento eCommerce platform, which would offer greater flexibility for future development as the business grew.
There are a number of benefits of the Magento eCommerce platform that led us to recommend it to the client:
The platform also included useful features such as search engine optimisation, analytics and reporting, mobile optimisation, order management and much more.
The 21 Digital creative agency team took advantage of the suite of features Magento had to offer. The result? A fully customised and responsive website tailored to Union Oriental Foods' requirements. Of course, a responsive website was a key objective as we envisaged that more and more students would browse and shop online on the go, using smart devices like iPhones and iPads.
Commenting on the project, Michael Cain said:
"It was a challenging brief to produce a responsive website using the most popular ecommerce platform, Magento, but we're extremely happy with the result.
"The site also incorporates a fully translated Chinese variant of the main site to cater for the client's primary customer base."
Union Oriental Foods add:
"The style and features of our new website have exceeded our expectations. We're looking forward to fulfilling orders online in the upcoming weeks!"

The long-term objectives of this project are to understand how stress signals are transduced to control cellular metabolism, and how dysregulation of specific stress response pathways contributes to human disease. The checkpoint kinase mTOR is an essential regulator of cellular metabolism in all human cells. Dysregulated activity of the mTOR protein complex I (mTORC1) has been associated with a wide variety of human diseases, including diabetes, autoimmune disease, and many types of cancer. Activation of mTORC1 orchestrates cell growth and cellular proliferation in large part by promoting protein translation and by inhibiting a process of self-catabolism known as macro-autophagy. The complex interplay of signaling pathways to mTORC1 and the resulting physiologic outputs remain poorly understood. Studies in the previous funding cycle identified the stress response gene REDD1 as an essential inhibitor of mTORC1 activity in response to hypoxia and energy stress. We elucidated the mechanism whereby hypoxia inhibits mTORC1 activity, in which REDD1 functions to activate the tuberous sclerosis (TSC1/2) tumor suppressor complex. We demonstrated how mTORC1 via REDD1 regulates translation of key proteins including p53 to control the DNA damage response in vivo. In the absence of p53, genetic loss of REDD1 is potent driver of tumorigenesis, in keeping with the silencing or loss of REDD1 observed in several human tumors. REDD1-dependent tumorigenesis is associated with glycolytic reprogramming and suppression of oxidative metabolism in cells and tissues of REDD1-deficient mice. Preliminary data suggest these effects are attributable to a critical role for REDD1 in promoting both autophagy and mitochondrial activity, functioning through distinct mechanisms upstream and downstream of mTORC1. These findings position REDD1 as a critical control point for metabolic homeostasis and tumor suppression. Here we propose a systematic approach to pursuing the biochemical and physiological role of REDD1 in controlling mTORC1, autophagy, and mitochondrial function in human cancer. We will first determine the molecular mechanism of REDD1-mediated regulation of autophagy and oxidative metabolism independent of mTORC1. Second, we have established a novel primary cell/in vivo orthotopic model, which we will use to functionally dissect the contribution of these individual REDD1-controlled pathways to cellular signaling, metabolism, and tumorigenesis in vivo. Finally, we will uncover specific tumor genetic contexts in which REDD1 silencing activates autophagy and the glycolytic switch to drive tumorigenesis, through genetic crosses and through analysis of our established repository of thousands of genotyped human tumors. These studies will provide new insights into tumor metabolism and its relationship to specific oncogenic driver events. Our findings will thus contribute directly to the knowledge base required to therapeutically target de-regulated metabolism and cellular signaling in human cancer.
Metabolic activity within individual cells must be carefully controlled, as abnormalities of metabolism have been linked to diabetes, cancer, and other common diseases. We have identified and studied key regulators of cellular metabolism, and have begun to uncover exactly how their malfunction can promote human cancer. By discovering precisely how these regulators and normal metabolism become re-wired and subverted in disease states, we seek to find new and more effective ways to diagnose and treat many common diseases.

ŠKODA is expanding its petrol engine line-up and meeting strong demand for petrol power with the addition of a new 1.5 TSI engine to the Octavia range. Available to order now, the new four-cylinder 1.5 TSI unit develops 150PS and features Active Cylinder Management (ACT) and common rail direct injection.
A substantially updated version of the existing 1.4 TSI unit, it develops 250 Nm of torque from just 1,500 rpm and is packed with a host of new technologies designed to boost efficiency and performance.
Available on SE, SE Technology and SE L models, the engine features a new, fully-variable, map-controlled oil pump, and a polymer-coated first main crankshaft bearing and more efficient indirect intercooling unit with improved cooling performance.
The ACT system was first introduced to the ŠKODA range on the new Superb, and is activated between 1,400 and 4,000rpm, at a torque of between 25 and 100Nm and speeds of up to 70mph. If the driver presses the accelerator pedal hard, both cylinders begin to work again automatically. The cylinder shut-down has no effect on the smooth running of the engine and the mechanical switchover processes take place within one camshaft rotation. Depending on engine speed this takes between just 13 and 36 milliseconds. Accompanying interventions in ignition and throttle position smooth the transition.
Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, customers preferring the convenience of an automatic can opt for a seven-speed DSG that replaces the six-speed unit offered with the 1.4 TSI engine.
Like all ŠKODA petrol engines, the new 1.5 TSI engine combines exceptional fuel efficiency with strong performance and low CO2 emissions. In manual hatch form, the Octavia 1.5 TSI returns 57.7mpg on the combined cycle and has CO2 emissions of just 113g/km. When specified with DSG, the 1.5 TSI also returns 57.7mpg and emits 114g/km of CO2. Estate models return 55.4mpg (Manual) and 56.5mpg (DSG) and emit 116g/km and 115g/km respectively.
In terms of performance, the new engine can sprint from rest to 62mph in as little as 8.2 seconds (manual hatch version) and has a top speed of up to 136mph.
Prices for Octavia models equipped with the new 1.5 TSI 150PS ACT engine range from £19,830 for the SE Hatch version, to £24,315 for the SE L Estate model. Order books are open now.

Protect Your Software Development Web Interfaces - Information Lumps: A Case Study of Jenkins !
Automation of software development practices through applications has become the defacto standard in the security industry. Organizations are using support applications to reduce the workload in building and updating software. The basic idea behind this post is to check how security is structured for software management applications such as Jenkins in a real time scenarios and what we need to look into while performing security assessments. Before discussing further, let's talk about Jenkins. According to the software website: "Jenkins is an application that monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron.". For more details, you can read here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Meet+Jenkins.
From software development perspective, Jenkins provides an integrated system which developers can use to manage software changes made to specific projects. It has been noticed that, although organizations use this software, but misconfigured interfaces (not running inside firewall and improper access rights) could have substantial impact. From security perspective, exposure of an integrated system that manages software development model could become a sensitive risk. To prove this fact, a case study of Jenkins application is discussed in which it is shown that how misconfigured and exposed interfaces could result in potential security glitches.
These tests are conducted in an open environment. It has been found that several of the big companies use Jenkins and with no surprises the interfaces are exposed and running with improper authentication. In addition to this, there are numbers of Jenkins systems that are Internet facing and expose plethora of information to the attackers (remote users). A misconfigured Jenkins server results in disclosure of critical information that can be used in different set of attacks. A number of misconfiguration issues are presented below that result in information disclosure:
Note: Based on this security issues, a few vulnerabilities have been reported to industry leaders (organizations) which have recognized the issue. I will release the details once the issue is patched.
Developers Information: Exposed Jenkins interface reveals information about the developers participating in the software projects. It is possible to extract userids of the registered accounts with associated names. This is a substantial point of gaining information about the users of a specific organization. An example of the exposed user details is shown below:
|Exposed Developers Information !
Software Builds Information and Source Codes: It is possible to gain information about the software builds without any authentication (misconfigured scenarios). Information about the changes in the software over a passage of time reveals information about the development flow of the components. Jenkins application does not ask for any explicit permission from the administrators to validate the user before accessing the ongoing software builds. An example is shown below:
|Exposed Software Build and Version numbers !
In certain scenarios, it is also possible to download the source code from the Jenkins without any authentication. Although for making changes to the code, you require credentials but the fun part is you can download code without them. Take a look at the example shown below:
|Source Code Files !
Server-side Information Disclosure in Environment Variables: Access to environment variables also provides plethora of information. Example presented below shows the significant information about the configure MySQL (JDBC) database server. The attacker can easily glean username and password of the database (SONAR_JDBC_USERNAME & SONAR_JDBC_PASSWORD) including the internal IP address with port number on which JDBC service is running.
|Revealed Environment Information !
Exposure of Application Secret Data: During analysis, it has been found that a number of server side scripts have hard coded critical information such as secret-keys and credentials which can be exposed when console-output operations are performed. The underlined example shows how a secret key is extracted by accessing the console-output. In this example, the curl command uses a secret key to connect to a specific domain for fetching JSON data through GET request. Once this information is exposed, the attacker can directly perform queries with the target domain.
|Revealed Secret Key !
Cron Jobs Execution: It is also possible to start the cron jobs which reveal plethora of information due to the usage of debugging calls. The majority of the time cron jobs produce a heck lot of output showing the success of running software. The example shown below presents the creation of database by a specific cron job in one of the vulnerable Jenkins configuration. It reveals how the table of OAUTH tokens is created and index is generated.
|Information Leakage through Cron Jobs !
Information Disclosure in Debug Errors: During a quick check in certain Jenkins configurations, it has been noticed that the Jenkins server does not handle the requests to restricted resources in a secure manner. The attacker can perform additional steps to request access to restricted resources to generated debug errors as shown below:
|Information Disclosure in DEBUG Errors !
Some of the standard requests specific to Jenkins are shown below:
- For verifying whether anonymous access is allowed or not in Jenkins, the link can be fetched as: http://www.example.com/pview/
- To retrieve the system information, the attacker can try for: http://www.example.com/systeminf
- For accessing the script interface (command line access), one can try for: http://www.example.com/script
- To retrieve the Jenkins account signup webpage: http://www.example.com/signup
- For creating account, send a direct request to:http://www.example.com/securityRealm/createAccount
Explicit CSRF Protection: It is always a good practice to analyze the design of the application from security standards. Some security standards should be deployed in the application by default. For example: - Jenkins provides a global security option in which protection against CSRF attacks have to be explicitly checked. If this option is not checked, the Jenkins application fails to deploy the protection globally. During our analysis, it has been noticed a number of Jenkins systems are running without CSRF protection which makes them vulnerable to critical web attacks.
|Explicit Security Configuration !
SSH Endpoint Disclosure: Jenkins implements a SSH random port feature in which the software randomize the port selection for running SSH service. Typically, when a client sends a GET request, Jenkins replies back with "X-SSH-Endpoint" HTTP header which leverages the information in the form of host: port. It means SSH service is listening on following host with given port number. If the system is already exposed on the Internet, the attacker can easily glean information about the port number on which SSH server is listening. A real time example of a server running Jenkins is shown below:
|SSH Endpoint Disclosure !
This information discussed in this post only provides a glimpse of security risks associated with the poorly administered software managing applications. These applications can provide a potential beef for the attackers to gain substantial amount of information about the organization and server side environment which facilitates the additional attacks.
For replicating the issues, trigger Google dork as: intitle: "Dashboard [Jenkins]" for getting a list of Jenkins server available on the Internet.
Impacts: As shown above, the misconfigured software management applications can have severe impacts as discussed below:
- Information about developers can be used to conduct Phishing attacks including social engineering trickery to launch targeted attacks.
- A common mistake for not enabling the CSRF protection exposes the Jenkins environment to number of critical web vulnerabilities such as Cross-site File uploading.
- In appropriate error handling discloses information about the different stack traces and internal components of the software.
- Unrestricted cron jobs will result in successful running of different builds of the software. As shown above, information disclosed in the console output results in leakage of sensitive data such as secret keys. The attacker can use the secret keys to attack target servers.
- Disclosure of software build information provides an attacker with a complete knowledge of the updates and modification that have taken place in the software. This information is beneficial for hunting security vulnerabilities or design analysis.
- For software development and management interfaces, restrict the access completely. It is highly recommended that the server should be configured with complete authentication. It means no functionality of the application should be allowed to be accessed without authentication or in a default state.
- Simply removing the HTTP links from interfaces is not a robust way to restrict access. The links can be fuzzed easily to gain access to hidden functionality. Deploy security features using a global configuration.
- Standard security protection mechanism should be enabled by default without asking any preferences from the users or administrators.
- Administrator should verify the new account creation in software like Jenkins before an access is granted to the registered user.
Configure Well and Be Secure!

(Pentest Apache #2) - The Beauty of "%3F" and Apache's Inability | Wordpress | Mod Security
Tested Apache Version: Apache 1.3.37(Unix) (with different modules)
I was doing an open research and came across an interesting issue which helps a penetration tester to gather more information about the files present (directory listing) on the web server (specific web folder). I tested only one version of Apache for this. Let's understand this issue. The problem is present in Apache's ability to process the encoded value of "?" which is "%3F".
Testing: During the validation, I found that wordpress was running on Apache 1.3.37(unix). Due to misconfiguration, it was possible to access the /wp-includes/ folder, which resulted in directory listing as shown below:
So, when I accessed the /wp-admin/ directory, it redirected me to the login page as presented below:
Tthe above presented screenshot shows the correct behavior of the wordpress or the Apache server when /wp-admin/ directory is accessed. Now, when I accessed the http://www.example.com/blog/ , the web server displayed the contents of wordpress blog such as posts and entries.
Question : Is it possible to get the directory listing on accessing the /blog/ directory?
Answer : Yes, It can be done in some web servers such as Apache.
Question : How can it be possible?
Answer : I exploited the behavior of Apache in processing the encoded "?" character whose value is
"%3F". Amazingly, it worked. I constructed the payload as: http://www.example.com/blog/%3Fpage_id=34. [One can use any id number or parameter]
Other examples:
When I used the above stated payload, I got the response as follows:
This allowed me to get the listing of the /blog/ directory which really helped me to understand the presence of different files on the remote web server. But, If I used the payload as: http://www.example.com/blog/?page_id=34 without encoding, it did not work. So the encoding of "?" character resulted in failure of processing the request as desired by the Apache web server thereby resulting in directory listing.
Let's have a look at the HTTP response headers:
Request 1: http://www.example.com/blog/%3Fpage_id=34.
(Status-Line) HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:22:59 GMT
Server VHFFS / Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) mod_lo/1.0 PHP/4.4.4 with Hardening-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_chroot/0.5
Content-Type text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Transfer-Encoding chunked
Date Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:22:59 GMT
Server VHFFS / Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) mod_lo/1.0 PHP/4.4.4 with Hardening-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_chroot/0.5
Content-Type text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Transfer-Encoding chunked
Request 2: http://www.example.com/blog/?page_id=34
(Status-Line) HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:23:48 GMT
Server VHFFS / Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) mod_lo/1.0 PHP/4.4.4 with Hardening-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_chroot/0.5

Content-Type text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Transfer-Encoding chunked
Date Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:23:48 GMT
Server VHFFS / Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) mod_lo/1.0 PHP/4.4.4 with Hardening-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_chroot/0.5
X-Powered-By PHP/5.1.5 with Hardening-Patch
Content-Type text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Transfer-Encoding chunked
In the request 2, the response contains X-Powered-By as compared to the first request. So, the PHP preprocessor plays a part in it.
Constraint: In this technique, one can only get the directory listing but will no be able to access those files
until unless there is misconfiguration issue.
Background: I forced Google to provide me with related information and I got the related links as follows:
Solution: Configure appropriate rewrite rules using mod_rewrite to prevent these types of vulnerabilities.

Roberta Meyers shares her insight on "walking in the light" and thriving just like a tree.
By Roberta Meyers
Categories: Abundance, Gratitude
We have a rubber tree - at least, I think it's a rubber tree. It's a palm-type tree that's been in our building here for years. I first noticed it in the old ladies' room, before the restroom was remodeled several years ago. It was by the one tiny window. It was a healthy-appearing tree, straight and beautifully green. After the remodeling, it was moved to a spot next to the doors of our fellowship hall -- on the east wall, right by a window, where it continued to thrive.
I noticed recently that it had been moved yet again - to a place on the west wall, near the missions' table. Sunlight never touches it now. In recent weeks, I have watched it slowly sag to the right, eventually bend over completely, and I would have seen it flop all the way down to the floor if the table hadn't been there for it to rest on.
The problem with the tree is that IT WAS MOVED AWAY FROM THE LIGHT.
I have been pondering this scene and am struck by how much I am like that tree. Sometimes I move away from the light, and when I do that, discouragement, discontent, and feelings of futility set in. Jesus said, "I am the light of the world" (John 9:5). In Psalm 119, God's Word is referred to as a "Light unto my path." Like that plant in our fellowship hall, I need to "remain in the light" if I am to be healthy, upright, and growing. I don't want to be spiritually droopy and weak....or JOYLESS (that, for me, always happens when I move out of the Light).
The wonderful thing I have to report is that, simply by placing the rubber tree back by a window, where it receives light, it gradually straightens out and is restored to health. The same is true with me; When I get back into God's Word, and spend more of my thoughts and activities each day on my purpose of serving God and other people, my spirit is lifted, enlightened, and my joy returns.
Are you walking in the light? Hope so.

Thamesmead's Nathan 'Sugar Boy' Weise (11-5-2) will face Geiboord Omier (3-18-1) on July 9th on a Goodwin Promotions event at the York Hall in Bethnal Green.
The South Londoner will clash with the Nicaraguan national on the packed 'Epsilon' show that features the highly-anticipated headlining fight between Wadi Camacho (17-6) and Arfan Iqbal (11-0) for the vacant English cruiserweight championship.
The 32-year-old's 19th professional fight will be a four three-minute rounds contest at welterweight at 'The Home of Boxing' and will serve as just his first bout of the year.
Weise has previously challenged for the Southern Area title on three occasions and aims to get back in the title mix as soon as possible, hopeful a win on the 27th weekend of the year will set up another shot soon.
He commented, "All I want to do is get this fight out of the way. I'm not looking past this fight, it's only a four-rounder, but I know what I want to do after this fight."
First of all for Weise is the 28-year-old Central American, now residing in Barcelona, who travels to the UK for the second time this year, making it his sixth paid bout in Britain in his six-year-long professional career.
Weise observed his upcoming opponent, "He's tough, done well against Johnny Garton. I'm not going to try to stop him, just going to outbox him and get the rounds in."
The Thamesmead puncher has only managed to fight seven times in the past five years but has high hopes that a title shot is looming and will have one eye on the Southern Area welterweight contest taking place on the same show.
He confirmed, "I'll be watching the Erick Ochieng and Freddy Kiwitt Southern Area title fight on the same night because that's the fight I want next.
"I like and rate them both but I want that belt. I've got a few good fights left in me before I retire, I'll be 33 this Friday and I want to capture the Southern Area title and then I can look back and be happy."
Guided by Barry Smith and Harry Andrews in the thriving West Ham Gym in Plaistow, the facility is also home to Sonny and Pauly Upton, Larry Ekundayo, and Philip Bowes.
"This camp has been the best one in my entire professional career," Weise enthused. "Nothing's ever perfect, there's always niggles, but I've been training with Larry Ekundayo and it's been brilliant. We've been in the gym together and been going to the running track every Sunday.
"I can sometimes be hot and cold in training, and in fights, but I've been looking so good in sparring lately, been consistent, really focused, and I feel so strong and fit. "I also want to thank Pauly Upton, Siar Ozgul, Bradley Smith, Robert Asagba and Larry for all the sparring and getting me into shape."
He concluded, "It's only a four-rounder but I feel ready for the 10-rounds and the title fight now, so I know when I do fight for the belt that it's going to be spot on."
The main event promises to be an explosive clash between "Macho Man" Wadi Camacho and "The General" Arfan Iqbal for the English cruiserweight title.
Two-time Southern Area titlist and Prizefighter winner Camacho gets his second crack at English title glory after an unsuccessful challenge against China Clarke way back in 2013 in just his seventh bout.
Now under the tutelage of Terry Coulter and having won five of his last six fights, Camacho has enjoyed a career renaissance.
Iqbal is undefeated in 11 and has previously featured on Channel 5 when despatching former Southern Area Champion Leon Senior inside the distance. He has publicly promised to hurt Camacho in his first ever title fight.
The Southern Area welterweight title is up for grabs when Erick "The Eagle" Ochieng (16-7-1) takes on Freddy Kiwitt (11-1) for the vacant strap.
Kenyan Ochieng lost a split decision against John O'Donnell for the English title in his last fight and is confident of defeating the talented Liberian Kiwitt in what is a 50/50 clash.
The vacant Southern Area lightweight title is on the line when Jumaane Camero (4-1), 22 from Surrey, takes on former professional footballer David Birmingham (5-0), 36 from Portsmouth.
Camero's long, rangy arms and awkward style takes on the come-forward, aggressive Birmingham in another close contest.
Super-welterweight Adrian "A Star" Martin (4-0) takes on the experienced Jan Balog (11-35-1) for the International Challenge Belt.
Middleweight Diego Burton (4-5-1) tackles "The Genie" Justin Menzie (3-1-1) over 10-rounds in a non-title fight.
Two highly-rated talents make their pro bow in the form of welterweight Sam Gilly, from Rod Julian's RJ Gym in Loughton, and London's Tunji Ogunniya, debuting in the super-welterweight division.
A stellar undercard featuring undefeated prospects in welterweight Joe McCory (4-0-1), light-heavyweight Chris Davies (4-0), cruiserweight Mikael Lawal (1-0), middleweight Lewis Syrett (1-0), lightweight Liam Dillon (1-0), and welterweight Billy Allington (3-0).

How does your school support and develop the fundamental skills of creativity, problem solving and communication?
Flexible learning spaces are still one of the hottest topics in education. Critics often argue that schooling, both in structure and outcome, has not adapted sufficiently to meet the needs of today's learners and consequently we are failing our students. As educators, we identify creativity, problem solving and communication as some of the essential skills that learners need but ask yourself this: how does the learning environment in your school support and develop these fundamental skills?
Blogger Leslie Harris O'Hanlon highlights the major role that a classroom's physical space can play in fostering creativity, productivity and collaboration. Moreover, she advocates listening to the student voice when planning classroom design/the design of the classroom as "so often we know what we want, but not necessarily what the kids would like…..as a teacher, you are one person. The students are 20 to 30 people using the space. They are the ones the classroom is for."
The creation of flexible learning spaces is hardly a new concept. Whether the space is catering to adult or student learning, many educators have explored alternate ways of supporting innovative learning and thinking through classroom design. Areas or zones designed specifically for student collaboration might include an informal floor plan with casual seating arrangement whilst a structured setting may be better suited to direct instruction and individual student work.
When exploring the concept of flexible learning spaces, we take the view that there should be an equal emphasis on flexibility, consultation and adaptive thinking when designing learning spaces.
What has been your experience where the physical environment in your school has transformed learning and what recommendations would you offer?
