I particularly liked this email as it was from someone who didn't usually read fantasy but was enjoying what he was finding in What Lies Beneath. I'd like to use this post to respond to one of the questions this correspondent had about the role of the Caliban's End wiki.
"In googling your work, I just came across the wiki with maps, character charts, etc. I think these will come in handy as I continue reading, but I am a major spoiler-phobe. I see all the enticing links on the right of the page (specifically overview, places, races) and they are begging me to click them but I'm worried about giving away anything from the actual story line itself (i.e. character deaths, outcomes of conflicts, etc.) If you have a moment, could you please let me know which, if any, of these links I can safely click without ruining any surprises?"
Denys' concerns are totally understandable and I'm surprised I haven't commented on this until now. I thought I'd post some of my response to Denys as I'm sure that other readers would have similar feelings when confronted with the wiki for the first time.
|One page of hundreds from the Caliban's End wiki
The primary reason for the wiki is to flesh out this world I have created and to provide a backstory that would otherwise slow down the narrative if included in the story proper. Quite a few pages of the wiki contain things that aren't in the books, including flora, fauna and events (and plenty of accompanying images). If I remember rightly, the aardwolf (for example) isn't discussed anywhere in the books.
In compiling the wiki I have tried to avoid spoiling the story which has been a bit of a challenge. The wiki teases, and implies things, but it shouldn't give away major points such as characters' deaths, plot twists/reveals or the outcomes of battles in the trilogy. For example, the character of Remiel, who is introduced in Chapter Two and is clearly a significant character, receives the following account in the wiki:
Shortly after the catastrophe that befell The Melody on the fateful day Caliban was being taken to Sanctuary, Remiel disappeared from all knowledge. He was seen briefly in Pelinore, but following his father's death, he vanished from all reckoning. The family home on Pelinore Hill was boarded up and the last trace of Remiel was in the ship log of a merchant ship called The Broken Promise bound for Terminus via the ports of Findias, Gobnet, Garlot, Tamesis, Corineus and Ceres. If Remiel moved to one of these cities, no record was made in any census taken in the period after 1799, the year of Gideon Grayson's passing.
In some cases, I have been quite playful and there are a few non-critical points revealed in the wiki that are not covered in the books. These are whimsical and are not 'required reading' to fully appreciate the books. For example, in Chapter Fourteen a minor character with a rather offensive disposition is thrown overboard and that's the last you hear from him in the tale. In the wiki it is revealed that he can't swim.
I'm particularly proud of the wiki and believe that it will enhance a reader's enjoyment of the Caliban's End saga. The map for example does much to convey a sense of the geography and scope of the Myr.
|Map of the Myr
HOWEVER, although I've endeavoured to make the wiki relatively safe, it is inevitable that it will provide extra information that may not be revealed at the same time in the books. In a way these could be considered minor spoilers, but in the context of the larger tale and all that comes to pass, it's my opinion that these shouldn't affect a reader's enjoyment of the yarn. Perhaps the safest links to click are the more general ones such as Places. The Characters links will contain information that may be better served by being revealed in the course of the narrative, but I don't think there's anything there that could be considered critical in terms of major plot points.
Some readers of the books have told me that they are picking up things on their second reading that were missed on the first, little things that perhaps are more obvious when one knows the outcome. Ultimately though, for all the hints and suggestions, I hope the central story is what readers find most fulfilling. I have attempted to do what good fantasy should do and explore the human condition under extraordinary circumstances.
On a completely unrelated note, I have just put the finishing touches on another site http://paulstewart.me/ which is where my various interests and activities have been brought together in one place.

Optimas Solutions has signed a new long-term agreement with Dura Automotive Systems to further streamline the manufacturer's component supply chain.
Dura Automotive Systems offers an extensive range, incorporating vehicle control systems, exterior trim, structural vehicle systems, interior products and windows. The business focuses on continuous improvement, centring on reducing weight, promoting performance and increasing safety. This philosophy has seen Dura Automotive Systems become a key player in the automotive and transport sectors, with a range of premium customers who cumulatively represent the majority of the industry.
As an accomplished global tier 1 automotive systems supplier to OEM manufacturers, Dura Automotive Systems operates to stringent delivery timescales, with any small component shortage resulting in downtime on the production line. A clear methodology from initial purchase to final point of use regarding fasteners is therefore vital – a clarity of approach that defines Optimas' service. With Dura Automotive Systems operating 36 facilities in 15 countries – the importance of fastener supply efficiency is brought into sharp focus.
The expansion of the relationship between Optimas and Dura Automotive Systems has been enabled by several factors. Firstly, Optimas offers a single point of contact for all fastener applications, consolidating every external supplier into a fully integrated framework. This offers reduced logistical costs and increased inventory efficiency. Optimas can liaise with Dura Automotive Systems' purchasing and development teams to help specify fasteners to engineering standards that also simultaneously minimise the Bill of Materials. By operating a global component portfolio, Optimas has the capability to service Dura Automotive Systems' requirements over multiple European facilities. This combination of complete supply management; close contact with Dura Automotive Systems' engineers; and the capacity for expansion; meant that the new long-term agreement was a logical step for both businesses.
"This agreement extends our relationship with Optimas, who we already know as a proven, reliable supplier. Increased reliability of supply allows us to operate a lean supply methodology, whether in the physical delivery of fasteners or specifying for a particular project. Expanding this approach will serve to compound the tangible benefits that Optimas is currently delivering to our operations," said Patrick Mathias, commodity purchasing at Dura Automotive Systems.
"We are pleased to be building on a long-standing customer relationship we have had for a number of years. We will be working even closer with Dura Automotive Systems and its specialists to define suitable fastener strategies for these European facilities, a task that we are well positioned to execute with operational excellence," added David Kessler, vice-president of northern Europe at Optimas.
Having joined the magazine in 2012, Claire developed her knowledge of the industry through the numerous company visits, exhibitions and conferences she attended both in the UK and abroad.

Killing Us Softly 4
Advertising's Image of Women
This highly anticipated update of Jean Kilbourne's influential and award-winningKilling Us Softly series, the first in more than a decade, takes a fresh look at American advertising and discovers that the more things have changed, the more they've stayed the same. Breaking down a staggering range of more than 160 print and television ads, Kilbourne uncovers a steady stream of sexist and misogynistic images and messages, laying bare a world of frighteningly thin women in positions of passivity, and a restrictive code of femininity that works to undermine girls and women in the real world. At once provocative and inspiring, Killing Us Softly 4 stands to challenge yet another generation of students to take advertising seriously, and to think critically about its relationship to sexism, eating disorders, gender violence, and contemporary politics.
Sections: Introduction | Ads Everywhere | A Constructed Beauty | Objectification | Judged by Looks Alone | Thinness | Dieting | Eating & Morality | Global Impact | Infantilization & Powerlessness | Advertising & Sex | Experienced Virgins | Consumerism & Sexualizing Products | Masculinity | Violence | What to do?
Jean Kilbourne
Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D. is internationally recognized for her groundbreaking work on the image of women in advertising and for her critical studies of alcohol and tobacco advertising. In the late 1960s she began her exploration of the connection between advertising and several public health issues, including violence against women, eating disorders, and addiction, and launched a movement to promote media literacy as a way to prevent these problems. A radical and original idea at the time, this approach is now mainstream and an integral part of most prevention programs. Her films, lectures and television appearances have been seen by millions of people throughout the world. Kilbourne was named by The New York Times Magazine as one of the three most popular speakers on college campuses. She is the creator of the renowned Killing Us Softly: Advertising's Image of Women film series and the author of the award-winning book Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel and co-author of So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualized Childhood and What Parents Can Do to Protect Their Kids.

Sakurada Reset Episode 10: Back from the beginning
Published on June 9, 2017
I still can't decide whether I like this series overall or not. I think I'm starting to come around as more information is put on the table. This week's episode did a pretty good job of putting things from the past episodes together to bring back Sumire. I was quite surprised that they handled it so quickly. I thought for sure it would end up being some kind of climax for the series. Instead, it looks like we're headed towards some other kind of story before the first half of the series is finished.
I liked Kei's flashback this week too, because it seemed to say something similar to what I've said about this series in the past. This series can be strange and confusing, but that tends to lead me to a few explanations that can possibly make any sense. Kei does the same when he deduces why the Bureau is interested in him.
I was wondering why we're seeing this scene again for the third time, but this line is new. It either suggests that Kei will change the future with the knowledge he gets from the Witch or that Misora's resets are changing the future. I'm personally guessing that it's the latter. I'm getting tired of hearing about Sumire in these repeats, though. That part of the scene hasn't changed.
Ahh, I see what you're trying to do here, Kei. If you can bring a petal out of the photograph by using this combination of abilities, you might also be able to bring out a human. I thought he was just testing to see if he could go into the photograph more than once using Misora's reset ability.
I feel like I should know who this guy is...
I think I understand what they're trying to accomplish here, but it still feels weird. It feels like a paradox for Kei's power to supersede the rules of the town, but Kei's introduction to the town of Sakurada heavily features the idea of breaking the rules of the world with abilities. Kei then proceeds to break the rules of the town himself with his own ability.
How exactly does the Bureau erase someone from existence without leaving the town?
Sakagami? That's the power sharing guy, right? I see...he's trying to share Murase's power with Sumire since she can't hold Sumire in her hand like a petal. I was wondering how that would work.
So, I guess we finally have confirmation that the MacGuffin was an actual MacGuffin in this series. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that this was all Sumire's plan.
This line reminds me of conversations I've had in the past about the concept of knowing the future. I've said something similar where either you can have perfect knowledge of the future, trapping yourself into a deterministic chain of events, or free will exists and the future you see is constantly changing.
This idea of using the message power to determine whether this Sumire is real or fake is interesting and also a bit confusing. It only makes sense if Sumire can see anyone's future. If she can only see the future of someone she touches (like the Witch), then she should be able to test her theory by looking at her own future. If she can see events past her own death, then the clone version of herself is real. But maybe that delves into a level of identity philosophy I'm not equipped to explore. Personally, I would argue that the clone is a different "self", but these concepts are admittedly quite complicated.
Perhaps Sumire wanted to create a fake version of herself. That might be why she goes to such great lengths to confirm whether or not she's the real Sumire. Maybe she's trying to break the Bureau or something. She makes it sound like we'll find out soon, but it's hard to tell with anime time.
This last line is interesting. It initially sounds like she's answering Kei's question about hearing the message from herself, but then she bounces the question back to Kei. It's like she wants him to decide whether he will consider her to be the same Sumire or not regardless of what is ultimately true.

Why Your Worldview Matters
By Jonathan Lewis on February 02, 2018
Although the subject of worldview has become a hot topic among Christians, there are many in the church who still don't understand what a worldview is and why it matters. At best, it can often seem like an entirely theoretical topic with little bearing on the practical realm. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
What is a Worldview?
A worldview is simply a framework of beliefs we use to interpret the world around us. Charles Colson and Nancy Pearcey, in their book How Now Shall We Live?, write that any worldview addresses three issues: Creation, Fall, and Redemption. In other words, they say, a worldview answers these fundamental questions:
Where did we come from, and who are we?
What has gone wrong with the world?
What can we do to fix it?
It's easy to see that different worldviews will answer these questions in very different ways. Christianity teaches that sin is the problem in our world. Marxism, on the other hand, teaches that private property is the problem. While the first two questions above are largely philosophical in nature, they lay the foundation for the third question which is intensely practical.
The Impact of Worldview
Worldviews aren't simply theoretical constructs that have no impact on the world around us. Hitler had a worldview and used it to wreak havoc on the world and exterminate millions of people for no better reason than their ethnicity. William Wilberforce had a different worldview and used it to stop the slave trade in England and put an end to untold human suffering. These two men—with their different worldviews and world-changing legacies—show us that when worldviews are put into action, they can either do great harm or tremendous good.
Why Your Worldview Matters
It's easy to see why the worldviews of leaders and influencers—whether in business, politics, the arts, or education—matters intensely. These individuals wield enormous influence over the culture and impact the destinies of men and nations.
But what about you and me? Most of us don't hold the fate of the world in our hands. Why does our worldview matter? Let's look at a few reasons.
Because You Can Vote. In a representative republic like ours, we have the freedom to help decide who governs us. An understanding of a Biblical worldview will help us understand the proper role of government, which will help us stand up for these principles at the ballot box. If the worldviews of our leaders matter, our worldview also matters.
Because We're Raising the Next Generation. I don't know what my children will grow up to be. Perhaps one will be a future president or Supreme Court justice. Perhaps one will become an extraordinarily successful entrepreneur. Perhaps one will write books or make movies that will influence millions. If so, I want them to have a Biblical worldview, and it's up to me to teach them. But even if they grow up to occupy quietly ordinary roles, it's important for them to have a Biblical worldview because they'll still have some level of influence on those around them.
Because We're Supposed to Live Out Our Faith. If we believe that Christianity is separate from the practical realm—in other words, that some things are sacred and other things are secular—we're not going to successfully live out our faith on a daily basis. Implementing a Biblical worldview essentially means bringing our faith into our daily lives in every area—from family life, to finances, to the workplace, and so on.
The Bottom Line
Our worldview matters because, as the saying goes, ideas have consequences. If they didn't, it wouldn't matter what we believed or what worldview we held. But if we really want to live out our faith on a consistent basis, we need to understand a Biblical worldview.
The balanced Christian life consists of both a personal relationship with a personal God and a proper understanding of how His truth impacts everything in our lives. Having a Biblical worldview is an indispensable part of that equation.

If you plan on breeding your ringneck doves or if you just want to give them gender-appropriate names, figuring out who's male or female isn't an easy task. Unlike some birds, the male and female ringneck dove look exactly alike. Some breeders claim even the doves can't always tell which is which.
Ringneck Doves
The most common pet dove species, ringneck doves are found only in captivity. Any free-ranging members of this species are feral, not wild, doves. These, or their immediate ancestors, escaped from cages or aviaries. At maturity, ringneck doves are about 1 foot long whether male or female. They're not the easiest birds to tame, as they prefer members of their own species to humans. Well-cared-for ringneck doves can keep you company for 12 to 15 years.
Pelvic Bone Testing
You can attempt sexing your doves via pelvic bone testing. Hold the bird upright, running your finger between its legs to its vent -- the bird's elimination hole. A male dove's pelvic bones should almost touch each other at the top, feeling stiff and pointed. The female dove's pelvic bones should feel curvy and flexible, rounding at the top. In females, your finger should come close to fitting in between the ends of the bones. You've got a pretty good chance of figuring out the gender by this method, but it's not 100 percent accurate.
If you've sexed them correctly and put a male and female dove together, they can start breeding between the ages of 9 to 12 months. However, it can take up to a few months for the breeding cycle to begin, so you might not know whether you have an opposite-sex or same-sex pair in the cage. If you have a breeding pair, you'll see the male doing his best to impress his potential girlfriend. He'll do a lot of cooing, along with bow cooing, which is bowing to his beloved and cooing at the same time. If the female appears interested, the pair will copulate. This scenario repeats itself until she lays eggs, about a week later.
Same-Sex Doves
If you pair two same-sex doves by accident, sooner or later you'll figure out no chicks are in the offing. If you have two males, no eggs will ever appear in your cage. However, females will eventually lay eggs whether or not a male is present. If you've paired two females, these eggs can't be fertilized, so they won't hatch. If you never see breeding behavior -- the cooing and bowing -- between the birds, suspect that the eggs don't contain chicks. On the other hand, you never know with ringneck doves. If the eggs are going to hatch, the chicks will appear within two weeks, give or take a day or so.

in partnership with presents
Written by Christopher Chee | Directed by Grace Kalaiselvi
TheatreWorks' Performance Tour is back in March this year! We bring to the community The Good Farmer, a winning play from TheatreWorks' well-established 24-Hour Playwriting Competition in 2017.
Touring since 2009, the Performance Tour has featured social issues that resonate with audiences in the heartlands. In the past years, we have dealt with issues such as mental health, mixed marriages and their prejudices, and inter-generational relationships, to name a few. With The Good Farmer, TheatreWorks continues its commitment to raise awareness of human and social issues through the arts and to provide an open and inviting platform for the discussion of these topics.
The Good Farmer explores sibling rivalry and favouritism in the family. Tensions arise when twin brothers Jacob and Joseph are placed into different streams after Primary Four, and Jacob begins to feel that their father favours his twin, Joseph.
Playwright Christopher shares, "The Good Farmer is partly inspired by my experience growing up as an elder sibling, as well as by conversations with relatives and friends about their opinions of being treated or treating themselves according to the order of their birth. The position of the elder sibling is rather paradoxical; you are expected to perform better than your younger siblings despite your parents' lack of parenting experience and the lack of older siblings to learn from. As an older sibling you are expected to be taller, wiser, stronger and more responsible just on the basis of age".
It's inevitable that siblings are compared to one another, but where do you draw the line? Is sibling rivalry considered healthy competition? What if that's mixed together with favouritism? Will Dad ever admit that he has a favourite?
The Good Farmer brings up questions about family, relationships and attitudes that many people choose not to answer…
As part of the performances, post-show discussions after each performance will be held. We hope that the performance becomes a catalyst for audiences to reflect and discuss the issues brought up during the play.
Jacob Teo and Joseph Teo, identical twins but born minutes apart. Jacob on 30th June and Joseph on 1st July.Out of convenience, their birthdays were celebrated on the same day each year on 1st July… starting from when they were 11, the year they were separated into EM1 and EM2, all the way till adulthood.
One child excelled in his studies while the other struggled to keep up. Average Jacob Teo versus Public Service Commission scholar Joseph Teo.
Was it favouritism or inferiority complex that made them different? And what happens when one child goes missing? The Good Farmer, brings up questions that many people choose not to answer.

Over the past few months I have been noting down all the beauty recommendations of my favorite beauty bloggers. I only included skincare items (and two hair products), I admit, the list is HUGE. But bear in mind that I already scrapped half of the items from as they weren't really needed. And yes, the remaining products are vital for my skincare routine – that's what I keep telling myself. 😉
But lately my skin has been changing a bit. I used to have a very oily complexion, very acne-prone. And lately I feel that I have combination skin, only oily around the nose/chin area, and (very) dry on my forehead, between my brows, jawline. I think this is because I have been taking medication to fight my acne battle for a while – about 6/7 months now. And I can say it is working! I'm "only" left with some hyper pigmentation, and get a few blemishes around that time of the month.
So a large part of my skincare routine is to basically cleanse and fighting the oil in my skin, which isn't there anymore. I don't use very drying skincare products anyways, because that just aggravated my acne, but they are not moisture sealing either. The beauty items I included in the list are basically restoring/maintaining moisture, fighting hyper pigmentation and keeping the skin clean and clear.
I was actually planning to post the items down below, but as I was writing, the blog post became a little too long. I'm sorry, I tend to ramble on a bit. So I have decided to split it into two posts, which will be more pleasant to read for you guys (I hope). And gives me a bit more space to describe the products. It will be up either today or tomorrow!
So what are the beauty items on your wish list?

Help stop catchment logging, make a donation to MWCN.
How much water is lost from logging?
A very significant amount of water is lost when water catchments are logged. This occurs because the thick regrowth that follows logging uses significantly more water to grow than existing forest uses. This water is then not available to the people of Melbourne.
In July 2008, after 16 years of debate and public concern, the State Government finally released hydrology research that looks into the impact of logging for all the Melbourne catchments .
The hydrology research was done as a part of the Water and Wood project and found that logging has a big impact on water output from the catchments both in terms of volume and economic value.
Key findings are:
order Combivent online
- l By ending logging in 2009/10, water gained would be equivalent to the annual 16GL water consumption of a city the size of Ballarat (94,000 people)* in 40 years time. This would increase to 40 GL per year over time.
- The hydrology report** recommends that the best option for Melbourne water users is to end catchment logging by 2009/2010 .
- The report acknowledged that this water is very valuable.
Executive summary** :"While these figures may seem small in relation to Melbourne current usage (~480 GL per annum), it might be noted that Melbourne Water is currently spending $100 million on the Tarago Treatment Plant to augment Melbourne's current water supply system by a comparable 16 GL per annum."**

Firefighters are primed to rush to an emergency at Lincoln's iconic Cathedral tomorrow evening (Wednesday) - but it is all in the name of training.
Residents in the area are being advised not to be concerned despite the possibility of seeing smoke coming from the building and up to five fire engines and 30 firefighters, turning up at the world-famous landmark.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue is merely taking part in 'Exercise Lightning' - an exercise designed to help firefighters deal with the unique nature of the historic building.
Crew Manager Richard Pullen said: "A fire at Lincoln Cathedral would create some unique problems for firefighters due to the nature of the building, so it is vital we are aware of these difficulties.
"There are many nooks and crannies and little rooms and areas that the public don't see within the Cathedral structure.
"These will be the areas we are mainly working in for this exercise.
"I have been with Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue for 14 years so I have practiced responding to incidents at the Cathedral many times.
"But there are many firefighters and new starters who have not and this exercise will massively help them understand the lay-out of the building, and the problems a fire here could cause."
The exercise is being held by the services' West Division and will take place between 7pm and 9pm on Wednesday evening.
• Most of the action will be concentrated inside the building and will work on the possibility of a lightning strike causing a fire in the Cathedral roof space.

- Congressmen Bill Keating (Massachusetts) and Bob Latta (Ohio) at the French Ambassador's Residence in Washington DC.
The Economic Department of the French Embassy in the United States just published the 2018 France-U.S.A. Economic Report. This report shows the strong economic ties between France and the United States through economic data (trade, employment, foreign direct investment) and a mapping of the French business footprint state-by-state.
The 2018 edition confirms and surpasses the figures shared a year ago: trade in goods and services between France and the United States reached $139 billion in 2017 (up 16 percent from 2016). In 2017, new FDI by French companies created 50,000 jobs in the United States, making France the fastest growing foreign source of employment in the U.S. that year.
French companies are now the 3rd largest source of foreign employment in the United States (678,000 jobs created by 4,800 companies) while U.S. companies are the number one source of foreign employment in France with 481,000 jobs.
For this new edition, around forty French companies shared their success story in the United States, illustrating the geographic and sectoral diversity of the French footprint in the U.S. These stories cover fields such as food, manufacturing, pharmaceutical products, tech and services.
The report was presented to around twenty U.S. Senators and Representatives at an event organized by the Congressional French Caucus on September 12th at the French Ambassador's Residence. Members of Congress stressed the depth and balance of the French-American economic relationship and the key role played by French companies in the economies of all fifty states.

Following directions of the Punjab and Haryana high court, the Huda chief administrator has passed a speaking order to refund the excess amount, with interest, that it had collected from allottees as enhancement. It will benefit 1,784 allotees, including 1,400 plot owners and 384 flat owners in eight group housing societies.
It is estimated that plots owners will get Rs 5-25 lakh, plus interest based on plot size. The interest is yet to be decided by Huda. Flat owners, on the other hand, will receive around Rs 7 lakh per flat. The amounts will be refunded to allottees by Huda directly, after receiving their refund applications.
The order is a big blow to the cash-strapped authority struggling to raise funds to complete pending projects.
"Huda has suffered earlier because of callous and unprofessional approach, when they had to refund Rs 250 crore to Sector 52 allottees. This speaking order, to refund excess amount collected due to wrong calculations, will put an extra burden on the authority," said Sector 51 allottee Pankaj Yadav.
Ever since plots were allotted in Sector 51, Huda had levied three enhancements, citing separate courts orders asking it to pay higher compensation to land owners. Huda's first enhancement, of Rs 2,104/sqm, came in March 2010. The second, of Rs 3,984/sqm was announced in September 2011 and the third, of Rs 5,581/sqm, in February 2012. Soon after, allottees alleged all enhancements were wrongly calculated, and began challenging the orders through representations and petitions in high court.
Yadav said the court accepted their argument that the enhancement they had to pay was based on faulty calculation. He said initially, the price was calculated based on a tentative plan released in 2003. Since then, there were big alterations that drastically reduced proposed open spaces, schools and hospitals in the area, for which allottees had already paid up. Some portions of Sector 51 had also been acquired under Sector 46. Cost of this pre-acquired land was also levied on Sector 51 allottees.
"After acquisition and sale of land in Sector 51, much of its open space was sold to builders, but allottees were made to pay for these," he said, adding proposed parks, schools, colleges etc were sold as plots.
The order said a new policy to calculate enhancement was formulated in July 2016. "The allotment cost in Sector 51 was calculated afresh," said the order. It mentioned the first and second recovery of enhancements will remain intact, but the third compensation was revised. It worked out to Rs 260.80 per sq yd, though Huda collected enhancement at Rs 4666.06 per sq yd in January 2011.

Expert Understanding as well as MOOCs: Utilizing Technologies to maximise Worker Understanding
Just how much of the important work abilities as well as understanding tend to be individuals inside your business understanding in one an additional? 10%? 20%? Most likely nearer to 80%. Are you aware exactly what they're understanding? Will it line up using the objectives of the training course? Nicely, which may be hard to evaluate, however something is for certain: they'll keep in mind this. It doesn't matter how a lot time and effort a person put in making content material as well as creating your own instruction, your own workers may find out more using their friends. Inside a prior group of content articles, all of us looked over the benefits of utilizing a substantial open up on the internet program (MOOC) to add casual understanding in to instruction applications. Right here all of us may concentrate much more particularly upon expert understanding as well as what sort of MOOC may be used to help, framework, as well as evaluate this.
Expert understanding is really a effective understanding device, however one which is basically unharnessed in a structured method, frequently due to the perception which it doesn't permit really restricted manage. 1 technique that lots of businesses possess accepted is actually mentorship, as well as investigation indicates which workers who've teachers really feel much more backed through the business, display more powerful organizational dedication, as well as may remain. However expert understanding happens in several additional ways-people provide each other guidance, views, as well as random training all the time, more than e-mail, the telephone, as well as water chillier. Even though these types of relationships tend to be informal, these people nonetheless take into account a lot of organizational understanding, as well as businesses may take advantage of not just motivating but additionally assisting all of them.
There are lots of causes of businesses to consider expert understanding:
Individuals keep in mind much more associated with exactly what these people study from each other compared to through hearing the address or even reading through the record.
Expert understanding is actually undoubtedly the lowest priced instruction choice.
Expert understanding is usually much more centered on "just-in-time" compared to "just-in-case" understanding as well as results in much more instant overall performance outcomes.
Individuals frequently choose understanding using their friends.
Expert understanding enables businesses in order to pull on the bigger understanding bottom as well as can result in brand new, revolutionary methods to problem-solving.
The primary problem with regard to businesses may be much associated with expert understanding happens within an unstructured atmosphere in order that it is actually not possible in order to evaluate precisely what understanding is actually happening. Nevertheless, because much more instruction techniques on the internet as well as begins to add social networking, much better resources have become open to help, monitor, as well as carry out high quality manage upon expert understanding. Among the best methods to incorporate expert understanding straight into the actual official instruction encounter is actually via a MOOC.
Within their brief existence, MOOCs have developed quite a bit. The very first MOOCs had been depending on the connectivist construction, in which the creating associated with individual understanding systems had been regarded as much more essential compared to content material discovered. After that, using the delivery associated with Coursera, MOOCs began to much more carefully look like conventional class encounters, along with talks composed of the primary understanding exercise. Right now, the actual pendulum is actually dogging back again towards much more effort, as well as initial outcomes through brand new collaborative MOOC supplier NovoEd claim that college students may stay with programs which stress interpersonal conversation.
We now have formerly investigated the actual technology-enabled understanding resources which help interpersonal conversation within MOOCs. Here are a few organised as well as assessable methods to make use of these types of resources to ensure expert understanding is actually consistent with your own organizational goals.
Social networking and also the MOOC dashboard. The actual MOOC dashboard is much like the actual program homepage-it consists of program routing control keys, the actual program diary, as well as hyperlinks towards the program webpages as well as actions. Numerous MOOCs additionally combination college student blogs as well as program Tweets rss feeds straight on to the actual dashboard to ensure that college students can certainly entry their own peers' efforts. This can be a method for teachers to determine exactly what problems students tend to be referring to and also to emphasize the very best or even the majority of appropriate college student articles.
Community forum voting. Numerous MOOC community forums right now add a function which allows customers not just to publish remarks, but additionally in order to election in the remarks which are probably the most useful or even the majority of appropriate. "Voting up" techniques the actual remark nearer to the actual the surface of the dialogue line, that allows teachers to recognize as well as react to well-liked queries, clean up any kind of misunderstandings, as well as bring about conversations upon essential problems. Additionally, it enables teachers to recognize exactly what expert info is actually garnering probably the most interest in addition to that workers tend to be supplying the actual highest-quality info. Additionally, teachers may proper any kind of incorrect info prior to it's spread as well broadly.
Content material discussing as well as social bookmark submitting. Individuals search for solutions in order to work-related queries on the internet all the time as well as your business may take advantage of workers discussing these details. Motivate workers to locate, curate, or even produce their very own assets as well as reveal all of them by way of content material discussing as well as social bookmark submitting websites.
Collaborative problem-solving. A number of research through Kyle Emich as well as Evan Polman shown that individuals tend to be more innovative and supply much better options once they focus on resolving other's difficulties compared to by themselves. Make use of this to your benefit through determining team problem-solving tasks to become finished within digital areas. Mix this method along with community forum voting with workers publish their own difficulties, provide options, after which election about the greatest options.
Peer-led quests or even programs. Expert understanding enables businesses to construct considerable organizational understanding angles as well as make the most of their own human being funds. One method to increase this particular possible would be to permit outstanding workers to provide their very own mini-MOOCs. For instance, in case your business comes with an superb sales rep or even a powerful motivator, think about getting that individual style as well as provide his / her personal MOOC in order to additional workers.
Gamification. Expert understanding is a superb method to include gamification components to some MOOC. Students may generate factors with regard to adding to discussions, requesting as well as responding to queries, as well as getting their own community forum articles voted upward. Badges may be used in an effort to identify as well as incentive efficient expert instructors. The options tend to be huge.
The benefit of integrating expert understanding straight into the MOOC is actually this understanding could be monitored. Utilizing analytics resources, you can observe who's training, who's understanding, as well as exactly what they're understanding. You are able to determine that individuals are the majority of important with regard to various kinds of content material and also the techniques workers make use of the majority of in order to request as well as solution queries. In this manner, MOOCs provide actually drinking water chillier discussions below tight manage.
Additionally you may be amazed in the reaction. Following a current MOOC which urged college students to utilize a number of social networking resources, the actual teachers mentioned inside a statement which "the fireplace which became popular burnt with a energy laying latent among a wide array associated with individuals, that pounced, as if getting already been waiting around for a while with regard to this chance. inch Would not this end up being good to determine which type of enthusiasm in regards to a training course?
How you can MOOC: Significant Evaluation Via Real-World Issue Resolving
we now have looked over methods substantial open up on the internet programs (MOOCs) possess brought teachers as well as coaches in order to re-think exactly how content material is actually shipped and also the part associated with social networking within the business class. This short article targets a subject which has in the past already been a good albatross round the neck of the guitar associated with instruction as well as improvement: evaluation.
Evaluation within business instruction is actually complex through a few elements. Very first, there's a common misunderstanding which contact with info equates to understanding. The end result may be a good excess associated with goal screening techniques which evaluate info remember however small otherwise. This particular exercise is most likely accountable for the truth that workers keep no more than 10 in order to 15 % associated with exactly what these people discover within instruction sessions-information is actually very easily overlooked; only if all of us utilize which info will it turn out to be understanding. The 2nd complicating element is actually much more unpleasant: numerous businesses do not evaluate worker understanding whatsoever. Within an job interview using the Walls Road Diary this past year, business instruction investigator Eduardo Salas mentioned which one of the greatest errors companies help to make within instruction is actually faltering to judge worker understanding. When they perform, he or she states, "they generally visit the very first degree of evaluation-the response information. Businesses believe that when there is an optimistic a reaction to working out, individuals may discover. However what we should understand is actually how the relationship is extremely 7 days in between a reaction to instruction as well as real understanding. inch
Ough. Utes. businesses presently invest regarding $160 million each year upon instruction as well as improvement. Without having analyzing exactly what workers are in fact understanding, just how can these people figure out regardless of whether which instruction works well? What's the actual RETURN ON INVESTMENT about this considerable expense?
MOOCs possess brought teachers to build up a few brand new viewpoints upon evaluation, as well as business instruction includes a great deal to understand from their store. To begin with, MOOCs tend to be altering the area associated with evaluation within programs generally. Because Cathy Sandeen authored within the Might 2013 concern associated with Investigation as well as Exercise within Evaluation, "within the actual MOOC globe, evaluation is really a main function associated with style in the beginning. With this brand new framework, evaluation is actually much less regarding conformity compared to regarding helping college student understanding final results as well as eventually college student achievement as well as attainment-directly within the middle because it ought to be. inch
Any kind of regular evaluation could be put in place inside a MOOC. Goal checks, such as multiple-choice as well as fill-in-the-blank queries, could be given as well as rated (with suggestions optionally provided) utilizing the majority of understanding administration techniques. Very subjective checks will also be feasible: composing projects could be expert rated, dental delivering presentations could be provided by way of webinars, as well as organizations may work with others upon tasks within digital workspaces. Therefore the query gets "What kinds of evaluation may meaningfully assistance understanding final results, achievement, as well as accomplishment inside a instruction as well as improvement framework? inch The solution may be the kinds which greatest result in enhanced work overall performance.
A current Forbes post recognized the very best 10 abilities which businesses are searching for within brand new workers. It might shock you to definitely discover which difficult abilities for example computer-programming did not actually break the very best 4. Actually, the actual 4 the majority of in-demand abilities tend to be crucial considering, complicated issue resolving, common sense as well as decision-making, as well as energetic hearing. These types of abilities can't be evaluated utilizing regular goal steps.
A number associated with brand new MOOCs tend to be discovering the actual possible from the substantial structure to build up these types of abilities as well as result in significant final results utilizing problem-based understanding. With this design, college students discover this content inside a real-world atmosphere and therefore are evaluated utilizing real-world difficulties. These types of programs, including the actual College associated with Washington's "Introduction in order to Information Science" and also the College associated with Virginia's "Foundations associated with Company Strategy" increase the benefits of the actual MOOC structure through concentrating on used understanding instead of info move, assisting cable connections as well as collaborations amongst college students, as well as crowdsourcing methods to complicated problems. The actual programs tend to be operate within co-operation along with Coursolve, a business which links college students along with businesses which have difficulties to resolve, therefore the college students will work upon actual difficulties confronted through actual companies. The actual businesses involved with this particular effort vary from business owners, small businesses, as well as non-profits in order to international titans such as Common Electrical, Manley & Manley, as well as Walmart.
Therefore, how could you greatest assess exactly what your own workers tend to be understanding?
Once we pointed out, MOOCs are designed for any kind of evaluation, as well as for many programs screening info remember while using screening component inside your understanding administration program might be adequate. However if you would like your own workers in order to convert which info in to significant understanding they'll keep in mind and may utilize, think about utilizing problem-based checks.
There are many methods for you to put into action problem-based understanding:
With regard to open public MOOCs operate on the web, you are able to style difficulties because situation research, simulations, as well as video games.
With regard to personal MOOCs operate on a good intranet, you should use actual problems your organization is actually dealing with as well as crowdsource expertise through over the whole business.
You could have workers style or even choose their very own problems to resolve.
You are able to think about becoming a member of along with Coursolve in order to crowdsource your own company's problem-solving with an actually bigger size.
If you don't create grading rubrics, problem-solving checks might not lead to regular ratings such as goal checks perform. However will it issue? The web as well as cellular systems supply limitless use of info therefore all of us no more have to keep in mind every thing all of us discover. Evaluation is just significant if it's associated with significant final results, as well as the aim of instruction is perfect for workers to enhance their own primary work abilities, along with numerous programs targeted at building the abilities within the Forbes best 4. The potency of these types of applications ought to be calculated not really through ratings on the check, however through enhanced efficiency as well as overall performance as well as their own effect on the actual company's main point here.
There are lots of other available choices with regard to evaluating understanding, however the aim of this short article had been to obtain a person taking into consideration the part associated with MOOCs as well as issue resolving within instruction applications. Within the last post with this sequence, all of us may check out various ways to identify as well as incentive MOOC accomplishments.

INDIANOLA, Iowa – Dillon Gretzky knows how to make a good first impression.
Making his first career start, the freshman hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:53 left and secured a key rebound in the closing seconds as the Simpson men's basketball team got a much-needed 75-70 win over Central on Wednesday night.
Gretzky – who finished with six points after coming into the night without a varsity point – secured a long rebound off a Spencer Bakerink miss with eight seconds left, starting a fast-break that ended with an emphatic, two-hand slam by Austin Hennings. The dunk brought the crowd to its feet and provided the perfect exclamation point for the Storm (6-12, 2-5 Iowa Conference), who were coming off back-to-back, double-digit losses.
Olu Rotibi led the charge with a career-high 20 points off 10-for-12 shooting from the free throw line. AJ Arrington added 18 points and Elijah Knox had 14 and five assists.
Branden Stubbs had 22 points and five assists and Jacob Winkler had 14 points and six rebounds before fouling out for the Dutch (9-8, 2-5).
Gretzky's 3 gave Simpson a 69-68 lead with 1:53 left before Stubbs knocked down a pair of free throws. Knox – who hit a game-winner against Loras a week ago – gave Simpson a 71-70 lead when he hit a pull-up jumper from the short, left corner with 36 seconds left.
The next Central possession provided some fireworks.
Winkler fouled out of the game when he was called for an illegal screen and hit with a technical after the subsequent argument. Knox made one of the two technical shots before Gretzky was fouled on the ensuing inbound. He also hit one of two to make it 73-70 with 20 seconds left.
After a Central timeout, Kevin Kaerwer missed a difficult layup and Bakerink missed the put-back, allowing Gretzky to set the final sequence in motion.
The cliffhanger featured 12 ties and 13 lead changes.
Simpson will try to keep the momentum going when it faces Coe for the second time in four days on Saturday, Jan. 26 in Cedar Rapids. The Kohawks (10-8, 3-4) lost to Buena Vista 70-64 at home on Wednesday.
Tipoff is set for 4 p.m.
