Speaker(s): Michael O'Sullivan | The liberal, globalised world order is withering according to Michael O'Sullivan in his new book The Levelling: What's Next After Globalization which he will talk about in this lecture. The levelling is the process of ironing out imbalances like indebtedness and inequality, and proposing new ideas and frameworks to kickstart the next world order. The Levelling will involve the levelling of political accountability and responsibility between political leaders and "the people", the levelling of institutional power—away from central banks and defunct twentieth-century institutions such as the WTO and IMF and toward new treaties (on risk and monetary policy) and new institutions (for example, a truly effective and powerful climate body and an institution or agreement that oversees cybersecurity). It will also involve the levelling out of wealth between rich and poor countries and between the very rich and "the rest," preferably with "the rest" enjoying both better organic growth and a greater share of this growth. Then the levelling out of power between nations and regions is what the concept of the multipolar world is about, and within it, different regions will have different reserves of power. Michael O'Sullivan, is the former chief investment officer at Credit Suisse. Michael joined Credit Suisse in July 2007 from State Street Global Markets. Prior to joining Credit Suisse, Michael spent over ten years as a global strategist at a number of sell-side institutions and has also taught finance at Princeton and Oxford Universities. He was educated at University College Cork in Ireland and Balliol College in Oxford, where he obtained M.Phil and D.Phil degrees as a Rhodes Scholar. He was an independent member of Ireland's National Economic Social Council from 2011 to 2016 Thomas Sampson is an Associate Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics at LSE.

Speaker(s): Professor Sudhir Anand, Professor Amartya Sen | To ensure that people live long and healthy lives it is important to know what kills different groups of people in different places. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) based on the Disability-Adjusted Life Year has been developed to do this. This lecture shows how this measure leads to various anomalies and biases, in particular it underestimates the health problems experienced by women and children. Sudhir Anand is Research Director of Global Equity Initiative at Harvard University and Centennial Professor at the International Inequalities Institute, LSE. Amartya Sen is Thomas W Lamont University Professor and Professor of Economics and Philosophy at Harvard University and an LSE Honorary Fellow.

The International Inequalities Institute (@LSEInequalities) at LSE brings together experts from many LSE departments and centres to lead cutting-edge research focused on understanding why inequalities are escalating in numerous arenas across the world, and to develop critical tools to address these challenges. The Eva Colorni Memorial Trust was established by Amartya Sen to commemorate the life and work of Eva Colorni and to reflect and further her belief in the possibility of social justice. Eva was an excellent teacher and writer whose work and passion were concerned with analysing and redressing inequality. The main activities of the Trust are to award bursaries to undergraduate students of economics who are experiencing hardship at London Metropolitan University, where Eva taught for many years, and to hold lectures on the theme of social justice. The first five lectures were published in a book, called Living As Equals and includes an essay by Amartya Sen on "Social Commitment and Democracy".

Speaker(s): Valerie Jarrett | Join Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama in conversation with LSE's Peter Trubowitz about her new book. When Valerie Jarrett interviewed a promising young lawyer named Michelle Robinson in July 1991 for a job in Chicago city government, neither knew that it was the first step on a path that would end in the White House. Jarrett soon became Michelle and Barack Obama's trusted personal adviser and family confidante; in the White House, she was known as the one who "got" him and helped him engage his public life. Jarrett joined the White House team on January 20, 2009 and departed with the First Family on January 20, 2017, and she was in the room–in the Oval Office, on Air Force One, and everywhere else–when it all happened. No one has as intimate a view of the Obama Years, nor one that reaches back as many decades, as Jarrett shares in Finding My Voice. Valerie Jarrett (@ValerieJarrett) was the Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama for his eight years in office. She now serves as a Senior Advisor to both the Obama Foundation and Attn:, Senior Distinguished Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School, and President of the Board of When We All Vote.

Speaker(s): Dr Marjolein Degenaar, Barry Ginley, Dr Brian Glenney | William Molyneux posed the following question: Consider a person who has been born blind and who has learnt to distinguish a globe and a cube by touch. If this person could suddenly see, would they be able to distinguish these objects by sight alone? This seventeenth-century thought experiment, known as 'Molyneux's problem', received attention from some of philosophy's greatest minds.

Speaker(s): Dr Jonathan Hopkin | At this year's Annual Lecture, which marks the 10th anniversary of LEQS and follows just days after this year's European parliamentary elections, Jonathan Hopkin will discuss the recent ruptures in the politics of the rich democracies, signalled by electoral instability across Europe, as well as dramatic events like the election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency and the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union. Dr Hopkin argues that these tumultuous political developments are a consequence of a longer-term crisis of market liberalism, resulting from the abandonment of the post-war model of egalitarian capitalism in the 1970s. This shift in politics entailed weakening the democratic process in favor of an opaque, technocratic form of governance that allows voters little opportunity to influence policy. With the financial crisis of the late 2000s, these arrangements became unsustainable, as incumbent politicians were unable to provide solutions to economic hardship. Electorates demanded change, and it had to come from outside the system. Jonathan Hopkin (@jrhopkin) is Associate Professor of Comparative Politics in the Department of Government at LSE.

Speaker(s): Professor Alexander Bird, Dr Laura Fortunato, Professor Marcus Munafò | The hallmark of good science is often supposed to be experiments that produce the same results when repeated. But over the last number of years, scientists have replicated a number of established, high-profile experiments and produced different results. Does it point to serious flaws and biases in the sciences? Or is it evidence of the power of science to self-correct? And what can be done to make science more replicable? We explore whether the replication crisis undermines our trust in science. Alexander Bird is Peter Sowerby Professor of Philosophy and Medicine, KCL.

Speaker(s): Dr María Ana Lugo, Professor Branko Milanovic, Dr Paul Segal | The panel discuss the evolution of the global distribution of income and political implications, highlighting endogenous forces of rising inequality in liberal capitalism embedded in globalisation. The last quarter century of globalisation has witnessed the largest reshuffle of global incomes since the Industrial Revolution. The global Gini index declined by about 2 points over the twenty-five year period 1988-2013, while within the global distribution of income three changes stand out. First, China has graduated from the bottom ranks, creating an important global "middle" class that has transformed a twin-peaked 1988 global distribution into the single-peaked distribution we observe today. The main "winners" were country-deciles that in 1988 were around the median of the global income distribution, 90% of them representing people in Asia. Second, the "losers" were the country-deciles that in 1988 were around the 85th percentile of the global income distribution, almost 90% of them representing people in OECD economies. Third, the global top 1% was another "winner" whose incomes rose substantially. These three changes open up the following three political issues. In the developing world the big question is how to manage the rising expectations of meaningful political participation in emerging countries like China. In the rich countries, it is how to "placate" the relative losers of the last 30 years so that they do not turn away from globalisation and towards populist anti-immigrant policies. Cutting across all countries, and directly implicated in both of these questions, is how to constraint the rising economic and political power of the global elite. The increasing gap between the Western "top 1 percenters" and the middle classes that is at the origin of many of recent political developments may not be a temporary glitch, but may be driven by endogenous forces of rising inequality in systems of liberal capitalism embedded in globalisation.

Speaker(s): Professor John Ikenberry, Professor Mary Kaldor, Professor Peter Trubowitz, Professor Vladislav Zubok | How and why has the liberal promise of the post-Cold War world not been realised? Where is the world now heading? Is the post-Cold War era over? In 1989 the Cold War ended. American pundit, Francis Fukuyama, confidently announced the end of history with the complete victory of liberalism word-wide. Globalisation and democracy represented the wave of the future. But thirty year later the tide of history appears to have turned. Fukuyama now talks bleakly of the crisis of democracy and the possible demise of the liberal order. Book after book proclaims the return of a 'new' Cold War between Russia, China and the West. And globalisation itself is in question.

Speaker(s): Professor Daniel Markovits | Merit is not a genuine excellence but rather a pretence, constructed to rationalise an offensive distribution of advantage. Merit, in short, is a sham. The meritocratic ideal—that social and economic rewards should track achievement rather than breeding—anchors the self-image of the age. Aristocracy has had its day, and meritocracy is now a basic tenet of civil religion in all advanced societies. Meritocracy promises to promote equality and opportunity by opening a previously hereditary elite to outsiders, armed with nothing save their own talents and ambitions. But today, middle-class children lose out to rich children at school, and middle-class adults lose out to elite graduates at work. At the same time, meritocracy entices an anxious and inauthentic elite into a pitiless, lifelong contest to secure income and status through its own excessive industry. In spite of its promises, meritocracy in fact installs a new form of aristocracy, purpose-built for a world in which the greatest source of income and wealth is not land but human capital and free labor. And merit is not a genuine excellence but rather—like the false virtues that aristocrats trumpeted in the ancien régime—a pretense, constructed to rationalize an offensive distribution of advantage. Daniel Markovits is Guido Calabresi Professor of Law at Yale Law School and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Private Law. Markovits works in the philosophical foundations of private law, moral and political philosophy, and behavioral economics. He publishes in a range of disciplines, including in Science, The American Economic Review, and The Yale Law Journal. Markovits's latest book, The Meritocracy Trap, places meritocracy at the center of rising economic inequality and social and political dysfunction. The book takes up the law, economics, and politics of human capital to identify the mechanisms through which meritocracy breeds inequality and to expose the burdens that meritocratic inequality imposes on all who fall within meritocracy's orbit. Oriana Bandiera (@orianabandiera) is the Sir Anthony Atkinson Chair in Economics and Director of STICERD. This event is the Morishima Lecture.

After giving the world (and us) a brand new Vanquish, Aston Martin's continued by facelifting its four-door wonder, the Rapide. And it just got better. And mouthier, which you may or may not consider better.
A 17% power rise comes thanks to CNC machined combustion chambers and lighter, hollow camshafts in the overhauled 6.0-liter V12, meaning that from now on, 558 horsepower helps get the kids to school in time after you sleep in. Dual variable camshaft timing, knock sensing, and fully catalysed stainless steel exhaust system are the other gizmos under the hood. There is also more torque at lower revs, while the peak output climbs to 457 ft-lb. That gives the Rapide S sub-5 second sprints to sixty with its Touchtronic 2 six-speed transmission, while the top speed is now 190 mph, making this the fastest four-door Aston ever.
The redesigned grill is so massive that the Rapide S probably won't fit in your rearview mirror. No worries, it won't stay behind you for long anyway. Hidden by that terrifying cooling device, the V12 also sits 0.74 inches lower to the ground, which should make the car handle even better than before, especially when coupled with the Adaptive Damping System. In case you turn it to "track mode" and make a mistake, the great news it that its scary face is not only better for pedestrians, but also features a new patent-pending construction which aids in saving your butt, too.
The interior is as luxurious and customizable as you would expect, while on the outside, you will have to go to Mansory for more bits made of carbon fibre. But the most important Rapide quality remains the same:
It looks like a two-door Aston, something no Maserati Quattroporte or Porsche Panamera can say.

Positively fun, absolutely useful DIY. There's something for every skill level, from super-easy felted wool balls and a bag-holder that attaches to a leash to a cozy crocheted bed and a folding feeding stand—little comforts that make life more pleasant for both you and your dog. (We'll let you in on a secret: You can also purchase the ball kit, leash bag and bed from the craftswomen who provided the instructions; see the contact information.)
• Uncarded wool (Merino is the easiest to felt)
• Long piece of roving (washed and carded wool)
• Tights/pantyhose
• Bowl of hot soapy water
Finished size: Comparable to a tennis ball
Note: For safety, balls intended for use by small children or dogs should be at least the size of a tennis ball and used under supervision.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
Press the uncarded wool together, shaping it into a ball, and wrap the roving tightly around it. Holding the ball, slip your hand into the tights down to the toe. As you hold the ball inside the tights, use your other hand to pull the tights over your hand, leaving the ball of wool inside.
Gently soak the ball in the hot soapy water. Leaving the ball inside the
tights, toss it from hand to hand; you may also roll it between your hands
and squeeze it softly. Do this very gently for about 20 minutes. Next, take
the ball out of the tights. Now you can squeeze it much harder; do this for
about 10 more minutes. As you work, the ball should get smaller and harder.
Rinse the ball in cold water, squeeze out the excess water and let air dry.

Janice was a super babysitter. She was completely focussed on the baby as soon as she arrived, and checked with us about his normal routine. She was very calm and confident, and made us feel immediately comfortable about leaving the children with her. We were very impressed, would like to use her again and would have no hesitation about recommending her to others. Thank you!
I felt very relaxed leaving her with my son he enjoyed having her there he said she was lovely and would love her to to come back and see him. so in the future i will be asking for her again. Thank you sitters for having 2 super sitters that i have met so far. keep up your good work.
My first time using your service i had janice i found her a very lovely warm person. Jack took to her very well and constantly asked me when he would be seeing her again. i certainly would love to have janice come back into my home again.

Stocks are just one of the many ways you can invest money. Simply put, stock is a share in the ownership of a public company or corporation. When you own stock (often referred to as shares or equity), you have stake in every asset and dollar the company earns – which means if the company does well, you can benefit financially from its success. Stocks are traded on exchanges around the world, including the well-known New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.
When it comes to stock investing, knowing your investment goal is crucial. That, along with your investing time frame and how much risk you're willing to take when investing in stocks, will help you determine how your stock investments should work with the rest of your investment portfolio. Stocks can provide potential growth, income from dividends or a combination of growth and income. It's important to keep in mind that the value of any stock can fluctuate – so if and when you sell your stock it could be worth more or less than what you bought it for. Additionally, dividend income is not guaranteed, as dividends are at a company's discretion and can change or stop at any time.
Stocks can be risky, so it's not always easy to decide which stocks to invest in. You should consider your financial goals, investing time frame and how much risk you're willing to take. Look for stocks that align with your investment approach and help create a diversified asset allocation strategy.

Hello KiumaruHamachi, greetings and welcome to the Narutopedia! Thanks for your edit to the Talk:Kakashi Hatake page.
We do hope that you will stay for a long time. Enjoy your stay as we work to become the best Naruto info site out there. BELIEVE IT!
If you're looking for something to do why not look over the Forums or more specifically Narutopedia Collaboration for a list of projects we're working on. And the Community portal has a lot of recent discussions and places to go listed on it.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- ShounenSuki (Talk) 22:03, 31 August 2009
Re: (i now i ask alot when it comes to stuff like this) creating a fanmade timeline
I don't have the ability to just say "you can" to anything (that would destroy the community orientation of the wiki). If the community is ok with it, then ok. In the past we've normally deleted those kind of things. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 8, 2009 @ 03:34 (UTC)

Re: question about the caution symbol next to age
I don't think it will disappear until we have something to add. You could talk to Dantman, he knows more about the infoboxes then I do. And aout the sign, have you tried to not use space between the symbols? Jacce | Talk 18:54, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
- You mean "how do I get rid of", your statement confused me for a bit. That's there because Age inside the generic character infobox was never supposed to be anything but a number. (deceased) was never intended to be part of that, so because the age parameter is invalid SMW puts a sign there to signal that the input is invalid. That's just something to ignore until the new character infobox is ready. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 6, 2009 @ 19:06 (UTC)
I have no clue where you saw that. The new character infobox looks much like the generic one we are currently using, but it is properly setup to have relevant parameters to the wiki, and it uses a easy to use form just like the jutsu infobox currently does. You don't even need to copy a infobox boilerplate. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 6, 2009 @ 19:20 (UTC)
- Naw, there is no way in hell we're using any of Wikia's bad stock templates. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 6, 2009 @ 19:31 (UTC)
w:c:anime:Template:iBox is the system being used to create the new infoboxes. It's a system I designed awhile ago to make creation of infoboxes elegant, clean, and easy to use. It does depend on a number of templates and css styles. You could try to copy stuff over, but the easiest thing to do is just have the wiki added to the sync que. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 6, 2009 @ 20:55 (UTC)
Re:(Off Topic) Learning Japanese

Re: Format of Episode Guide
I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm not too familiar with the episode articles, though.
I have a question for you, as well. Two, really:
- Is "Even Fiction has its own boundaries that can not be crossed" a part of your signature? If so, would you be so kind as to remove it? It is highly disruptive.
- Could you please link to your user page and talk page in your signature? It makes it a lot easier to reply to you.

- I think what you want to look at is: Semantic Forms and Semantic Search. Simant (talk) 22:12, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
Re: New infobox
I didn't make it on another site... It uses Semantic Forms and Semantic Search along with basic parser functions. Simant (talk) 18:10, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
- If you need help making an infobox, i can try. Just tell me which wikia. Simant (talk) 18:18, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Not the right Arc
there is really no way of telling what this current arc will focus on. As it is now, it seems to have a dual focus on both the SWWIV and the Nine-Tails training. We should wait until we have more information, really. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 23:27, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Check for missing CSS on my wiki (please)
Those templates are not ment to be imported into a wiki like that. They are part of the sync queue, and depend on the shared repo of css and js we use. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 6, 2010 @ 17:38 (UTC)
- That would mean that the easiest way to get the templates on the wiki is to add the wiki to the sync queue. Anything else I don't bother to help with. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 6, 2010 @ 17:45 (UTC)
- I'd have to add the wiki to the queue, AnimeBot would need a bot flag, some MediaWiki: pages would need tweaking. Though firstly, what's that wiki about? ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 6, 2010 @ 18:03 (UTC)
- I generally do not add personal/fanfic wiki to the queue. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 6, 2010 @ 19:04 (UTC)
Maybe he was just lying. doesn't it sound fake to you?

Fair use
I noticed that you had problem with fair use and license a pic. License are chosen when you upload. The fair use code for pictures from the manga is:
==Summary== {{Characters in image|}} {{Fair use rationale | Description = Single frame snapshot of [[]]. | Source = The [[Naruto Series|Naruto]] manga, chapter | Portion = A single panel from the manga [[Naruto Series|Naruto]]. | Purpose = For the illustration of the character [[]] | Resolution = Low/High | Replaceability = Only by a similar snapshot with the same license status. | Other Information = Character design by [[Masashi Kishimoto]]. }}
- And for pictures from the anime, use:
==Summary== {{Characters in image|}} {{Fair use rationale | Description = Single frame snapshot of [[]]. | Source = [[Naruto Series|Naruto]] Episode | Portion = Single frame from the [[Naruto Series|Naruto]] Anime series. | Purpose = For the illustration of the character [[]]. | Resolution = Low/High | Replaceability = Only by a similar snapshot with the same license status. | Other Information = }}

Re:Help with Italian Wiki
Hello, First off, let me thank you for noticing my messages about the Italian wikia. Even though you said you do not know Italian at all, I'm still happy I found a template editor. I do not know much about them at all, but I do agree with your reasoning. It would be much better if those templates could hide the parameters that are not needed. I may be selfish, but I'd gladly accept your help in making them as good as the ones on the English or Spanish wikia, and also, if you could link me some sites in which it's possible to learn how to modify the templates, I'd be really grateful. Sorry if my English isn't perfect ^_^ --JOA20 (talk) 10:39, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Even though it's a work in progress, it already looks much better! But there's something that may be a bit of a problem: there are some parameters in the English language (like "Tailed Beast Information": in italian, it would be "Cercoterio", or maybe "Bijū" to keep the original word ^_^). If you need my help about these kind of things, please say it! Anyway, if this is a work in progress I can't wait to see how it turns out!--JOA20 (talk) 17:16, August 13, 2013 (UTC)
It's been a while, Hamachi ^_^ I read your message on SimAnt's talkpage just now. If you think you could make an infobox that is similar to the ones on the english Narutopedia, I'd really be in your debt. Go to this one[1] if you feel like giving it a try.--JOA20 (talk) 15:51, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

First look: Richard Thieriot in off-Broadway's "Children"
Richard Thieriot, a National Theatre Conservatory grad and alum of both the Denver Center Theatre Company and Colorado Shakespeare Festival, made his off-Broadway debut on Friday in the TACT/The Actors Company Theatre revival of A.R. Gurney's "Children," playing through Nov. 18 at Theatre Row's Beckett Theatre.
The timeless story is loosely based on a short story by John Cheever, a Chekovian look at a privileged American family dealing with shocking surprises over the course of a July 4 weekend in 1970.
The play is getting mixed reviews, but critics have had kind things to say about Thieriot's portrayal of good-hearted but immature and sports-obsessed older brother Randy:
Jennifer Farrar, Associated Press: "Thieriot is puppyish and quite appealing."
E. Meredith Young, Exeunt Magazine: "Here, our foursome are aware of – without playing slavishly to – the obvious stereotypes. Thieriot in particular – his jumpy performance, while broad, shaped Randy into a doltish man-child."
David Barbour, lightandsoundamerica.com: "Richard Thieriot's Randy has a naturally boyish charm, even when stomping around like a spoiled child; he's a charming prisoner of his own immaturity."

Charting new courses for learning and teaching - Edinburgh, 23rd – 25th June 2020
Coronavirus - creative ideas to keep the learning wheels turning when students need to keep their distance.
We believe that students who are encouraged to extract all they can from each and every step of their learning journey are the ones most likely to succeed. The PebblePad Learning Journey Platform offers universities award-winning technology to help educators support, guide and develop students from induction to graduation, and beyond.
Developing a learner-centred approach for today's tech-savvy generation.
Discover more about scaffolding effective teaching, learning and assessment.
How to deliver learning-centred portfolio development and assessment at scale.
Whether it's to support graduate employability, evidence professional competency, or support talent management in the modern workplace, creating beautiful, shareable portfolios to showcase experience, skills and capability is simple with the PebblePad Portfolio Builder.
"PebblePad portfolios stand out as little jewels of creativity and, most importantly, they can be designed by any user, without the need for specialised skills."
University of Edinburgh
Learning can take place anywhere - online, in the classroom, in the queue for a bagel. The point is, it can be tricky to capture and make sense of experiences as they happen, and opportunties for learning and reflection often slip by. Unless, of course, you are making the most of PebblePad templates to record and reflect on any device.
"We use PebblePad to deliver and track 100's of courses. We chose PebblePad for its unique ability to track real world learning with continuing personal and professional development."
Institute of Swimming (British Swimming)
Imagine mapping out a detailed framework for supporting placement students or designing an onboarding programme for engineering graduates joining a business. Now imagine being able to create those frameworks easily in digital form, share them across an entire progamme, and monitor progress - this is what PebblePad workbooks give you (and lots more besides).
"PebblePad helps our students reflect on what they are learning by documenting curricular, co-curricular and community learning and the relationship between."
McMaster University
No matter what the context or subject area, PebblePad's intuitive Template and Workbook Builders let you design and share resources exactly as you need them. From a single, reusable lesson plan template to a comprehensive professional development workbook, you have full control over how your resources look, behave, and how they are shared and collaborated on. What's more, you can easily update content in real time and push the changes out to entire cohorts.
Whether you need to embed a video from Vimeo for your programme, add a placeholder for employees to upload media evidence for appraisal, or enable progress tracking and digital signatures for students' clinical observations - you can do all of this using simple drag and drop features.
"The availability of templates and workbooks allows us to introduce structure, without frustrating learners' creative exploration and self-reflection."
Duke University
Out-of-the-box integration with popular file stores as well as badging and learning platforms makes it easy for organisations to put PebblePad at the heart of a learning culture and offers individual users greater flexibility.
PebblePad is all about recording learning and experience as it happens. That's why PebblePad works on any device and even supports offline working. It means the swimming coach, the trainee paramedic, and the aspiring journalist on an internship, all working without an internet connection during their shifts, still have the opportunity to record evidence, which can later be added to a module workbook, a competency template, or even just a simple personal reflection.
"PebblePad is very impressive. Clean, responsive, and HTML5. What's not to like?"
University of Northampton
The PebblePad asset store keeps every record of learning and experience together in a single, secure online store. This means a learner's personal reflections, placement journals, collaborative blogs, activity logs, completed module workbooks, uploaded media, performance reviews, feedback, and more, is always available to them. PebblePad can even collate records automatically to make it easier for learners to pull together records by type, for example - CPD hours or learning activities relating to a specific project or course.
Supporting personalised learning at an organisation-wide level requires more than a little help on the administration and assessment side. Thankfully, we've got things covered on this front too. PebblePad includes a fully integrated assessment engine to facilitate timely feedback and conversations, as well as a host of clever tools to support formative and summative assessment, including integrated rubrics, feedback templates, scorecards, peer review, multi-level approvals and much, much more.
"PebblePad will help us achieve our ambition to move assessment and student achievement beyond grades. "
Spring Arbor University
"The reporting features in PebblePad have blown us away in how we can show graphically the stage where learners are, specifically in relation to clinically accredited courses."
Edith Cowan University
I can say that the support provided by PebblePad is great - tailored to the organisation's needs, flexible, and thorough. These guys really know their products and having the technical side covered by PebblePad, given that they host the data and regularly upgrade the system, makes life so easy for us.
LMS and Integration Project Manager, Brunel University.

Dierdre is Dirk's girlfriend in the Sesame Street soap opera "The Sounds of Our Lives." One day in her living room, Dirk intends to pop the question to her, but he never gets to because she keeps getting up to turn of a dripping faucet, toss out a ticking alarm clock, and open the door for the 829 Express, the sounds of which are cutting Dirk off mid-sentence. Finally, Dirk loses it and ditches Dierdre, who then reveals that she has never before heard the sound of a slamming door.
In a preview of the next episode, Dierdre expresses delight over the sound of a jackhammer tearing up the sidewalk.

There's a new season germinating in gardening when neighbors work together to create, keep, grow and harvest a bountiful community garden. The community and urban garden trend is growing with homeowners and renters alike. Along with growing fresh fruits, flowers and vegetables, the gardens might help with beautifying vacant lots, strengthening social connection, instilling a sense of community pride and encouraging upkeep of homes and apartments.
A Few Benefits of Urban and Community Gardens.
Community vegetable and flower gardens might offer physical and mental health benefits regardless of the size and location by providing opportunities to:
- Beautify the neighborhood.
- Eat healthy fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Engage in physical activity
- Beautify vacant lots.
- Revitalize communities in industrial areas.
- Revive and beautify areas like public parks, rooftops.
- Provide fresh flowers for decorating your home and apartment.
- Improve social well-being through strengthening social connections.
If you've seen a shared urban gardening space in your neighborhood or heard others rave about their experiences, you may wonder about the ground rules and how to get involved.
Things to Consider When Starting an Urban Garden.
These basics can help you get your foot in the gate:
- Garden plots can be raised beds or in-ground. Different families or individuals can maintain each bed.
- Look for a sign listing the garden's name and a contact person. Reach out to the organizer to inquire about open or soon-to-be-available spaces.
- Often, the garden community shares the basics: tools, water and upkeep of common areas, including pathways, gathering spaces, fencing and composting.
- There may be ground rules such as conditions for membership, organic gardening practices, minimum maintenance, cooperative work and time limits for planting and harvesting.
If no space is available, ask how you can lend a hand, such as maintain a plot while a family is on vacation or pitch in on volunteer tasks such as fall cleanup. Inquire about where excess produce is sold or donated; you may be able to shop the garden's bounty.
When you become an official community gardener, be certain you respect your fellow growers:
- Keep your plot planted, weeded, watered and in good shape all season long. If you need to abandon the project, notify the garden organizer as soon as possible.
- Contribute to the shared maintenance by keeping your space — and the adjacent pathways and any common spaces — free of weeds and litter.
- Refrain from planting tall crops that may shade adjacent plots. Stick with hardy, easy-grow plants that require little hands-on maintenance. Life gets busy, and when your garden isn't right outside your door, daily visits can be difficult. Harvest only your own crops.
- Shun fertilizers, insecticides, chemicals and any substances that potentially could harm other plots or that other gardeners might not welcome.
To find a community garden near you, as well as tools and resources, visit the American Community Gardening Association's website.

Though both of these errors are related to missing classes in the classpath, the main difference between them is their root cause. ClassNotFoundExcpetion comes when you try to load a class at runtime by using Class.forName() or loadClass() and requested class is not present in classpath for example when you try to load MySQL or Oracle driver class and their JAR is not available, while in case of NoClassDefFoundError requested class was present at compile time but not available at runtime. Sometimes due to an exception during class initialization e.g. exception from static block causes NoClassDefFoundError when a failed-to-load class was later referenced by the runtime.
From last few weeks I have been facing a cluster of ClassNotFoundException and NoClassDefFoundError while setting up a new project in Java. This new Java project has lots of dependency on various jars and some of the jar even contains the same name of file which makes my problem even more problematic.
While working with NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException I thought to document my experience and I have already shared some on 3 ways to resolve NoClassDefFoundError in Java and how to resolve ClassNotFoundException in Java. in this article though focus will be on similarity and differences between java.lang.ClassNotFoundException and java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in Java.
NoClassDefFoundError vs ClassNotFoundExceptionBefore seeing the differences between ClassNotFoundException and NoClassDefFoundError let's see some similarities which are main reason of confusion between these two errors:
1) Both NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException are related to unavailability of a class at run-time.
2) Both ClassNotFoundException and NoClassDefFoundError are related to Java classpath.
Now let's see the difference between NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException :
1) ClassNotFoundException comes in java if we try to load a class at run-time using with Class.forName() or ClassLoader.loadClass() or ClassLoader.findSystemClass() method and requested class is not available in Java. the most of the time it looks like that we have the class in classpath but eventually it turns out to be issue related to classpath and application may not be using classpath what we think it was using e.g. classpath defined in jar's manifest file will take precedence over CLASSPATH or -cp option, for more details see How Classpath works in Java. On the other hand NoClassDefFoundError is little different than ClassNotFoundException, in this case culprit class was present during compile time and let's application to compile successfully and linked successfully but not available during run-time due to various reason.
2) ClassNotFoundException is a checked Exception derived directly from java.lang.Exception class and you need to provide explicit handling for it while NoClassDefFoundError is an Error derived from LinkageError.
3) If you are using ClassLoader in Java and have two class loaders then if a ClassLoader tries to access a class which is loaded by another classloader will result in ClassNoFoundException.
4) ClassNotFoundException comes up when there is an explicit loading of class is involved by providing name of class at runtime using ClassLoader.loadClass(), Class.forName(), while NoClassDefFoundError is a result of implicit loading of class because of a method call from that class or any variable access.
Please let us know if you are aware of any other difference between NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException in Java , I would be happy to incorporate those.

What is Snap Judgment?
Snap Judgment is a themed, weekly storytelling show. We focus on presenting compelling personal stories - mixing killer beats with real drama to produce cinematic, dramatic and kick-ass radio. We are produced in partnership and distributed through WNYC Studios.
Glynn Washington…where have I heard that name?
Our host Glynn Washington has been spreading the storytelling gospel and hobnobbing with interesting folks around the world for years, so you may have shared a Singapore Sling with him once upon a time. But he got his start in radio when he beat out thousands of contestants to win the CPB and PRX Public Radio Talent Quest.
Where can I hear Snap Judgment?
Snap Judgment is broadcast on numerous public radio stations across the United States. We are working on creating a complete list for our website, but in the meantime, the only way to know for sure is to call your local public radio station and ask! And if they don't carry Snap Judgment, demand it! With respect, of course. Respect is due.
You can also download our free podcast on iTunes (link) or stream our full Snap Judgment shows and segments on the website, SnapJudgment.org.
Why Oakland?
Because Oakland is home. Because down the street from our office, there's a school where black and Latino kids speak Mandarin to each other while playing tag. Because our office loves to eat Spices Szechuan food for lunch. Because of the scraper bikes and stunner shades. Because of the Fox Theater and the barbershops. Because of the weather. Because we believe that public radio should be for the young and the old, for listeners of every race and background, and you can find them all, living and thriving, here.
Do you guys need more stories? Would you like to hear mine?
Hell yes! We sure as Snap want to hear it! Tell it, record it, write it, videotape it, photograph it, then put it up on our Browse Stories section. We check the stories there every day, and based on community response and how much we love your work, we may just pick your story to air on our show. If you need help producing your story and would just like to give us a pitch, or if you are a radio producer who would like to get your work on our show, please email us at "pitches (at) snapjudgment.org".
Are all the stories true?
Our reported stories must be true to the teller. They rely largely on the recollections and experience of the individuals we interview.
Performed stories must be rooted in fact and real experiences. These stories are allowed a degree of poetic license. Names and places are occasionally changed, composite characters and timelines are sometimes allowed, if they do not threaten the essential truth of the story.
We also do feature fiction stories. All Snap fiction has an element of the fantastical, mythological or supernatural, so as not to confuse them with our non-fiction pieces.
Do you have any resources to help me get started?
We really want you to produce awesome Snap Judgment-type stories, so before you start, we suggest you run your story by our "Is Your Story Right for Snap Judgment" flow chart.
Transom.org also has great resources for radio n00bs including manifestos from the greats to reviews on recording equipment and tutorials.
Can I purchase Snap Judgment CDs and merchandise?
We will be working on getting our store up very soon! Keep checking back! In the meantime, just write SNAP JUDGMENT in orange Sharpie on your t-shirt.


text: Click to viewEngineers at Carnegie Mellon University have paired a 3D laser camera system, capable of mapping out terrain and obstacles in real time, with an unmanned Yamaha helicopter, creating an autonomous, incredibly low-flying UAV. Once loaded with preexisting topographical data, the sighted UAV is able to hug the ground at altitudes of 5m, fly around obstacles with just 3m of clearance and sense oncoming obstructions as small as 6mm. Though the ability to hover at extremely low altitudes has some obvious military applications, the fact that drones may now be able to dodge unanticipated barriers could help UAVs fly in civilian airspace, something which regulatory authorities in this country don't traditionally allow unless they have a reasonable guarantee against the surprise pulping of unsuspecting bystanders.

The Trendy Purse - http://thetrendypurse.com
We are a purse search engine featuring the largest selection of purses from all the major purse merchants online. Our goal is to be the definitive source to find great purses online.
This website should appeal to women online shoppers who love purses.
We want the site to be fun, clean, uncluttered, and convey a sense of class / style. The color-scheme should complement our logo (pink and brown). The goal of the site is to showcase the large selection of purses and make it easy to browse various purses.
- We definitely want some more color and personality on the homepage.
- We'd like 2-3 banner images on the home page that we will cycle through (we will use Javascript so no animation needed) that show purses and optionally happy women and some text. Just use the text "Largest selection of purses online!" as a place holder. These images will be for promoting specific features / promotions on the site. The key here is they should be appealing to the eye and be easy to place text on top of in at least one portion of the image.
- We'd like all of the current elements on the homepage but please re-arrange them in a way that makes it easy to navigate and appeals to the eye. The goal is to show as many purses images as possible without being too cluttered. Please feel free to experiment with pulling in more purse thumbnails (130x130) into the design for items such as Recent, Hot, Category and Brand links.
- Please place follow buttons for Twitter and Facebook and a newsletter signup form on the homepage

In this series, NerdWallet interviews people who have triumphed over debt using a combination of commitment, budgeting and smart financial choices. Responses have been edited for length and clarity. In
In this series, NerdWallet interviews people who have triumphed over debt using a combination of commitment, budgeting and smart financial choices. Responses have been edited for length and clarity.
In college, Natalie Tomko racked up credit card debt worth $50,000 across eight cards. Despite never missing a payment, Tomko didn't pay more than the minimums and avoided looking at her bills, afraid of the high balances.
After graduation came the harsh reality of student loan payments on top of the credit card debt. Tomko couldn't afford both kinds of debt. In a panic, she asked her creditors for lower rates and was put on a five-year hardship program. She picked up side hustles and used the debt snowball method to chip away at her balances, determined to �pay off the credit cards by age 30.
While on her honeymoon earlier this year, Tomko, 29, made her final credit card payment. As a member of the #debtfree community on social media, she connected with NerdWallet to share her story and inspire others who want to live debt-free.What was your total debt when you started and what is it now?
$110,000 ($50,000 credit card and $60,000 student loans), and my salary �as a web editor was $35,000 in 2012. Today, I have $20,540 of student loan debt; $0 credit card debt.How did you end up in debt?
I got my first credit card when I was a sophomore in college. It was a Discover card and it was pink, with flowers. For the first year, I diligently paid it off every month with money I made babysitting, working as a barista and on the school newspaper. �My parents taught me never to carry a credit card balance.
My junior year, I got two more credit cards. [Tomko received her cards before the 2009 passage of the Card Act that placed restrictions on the issuing of credit cards to those under 21.] That's when things started getting out of hand. I spent more than I could afford on silly things like concert tickets and trips.How did you deal with mounting debt?
My statement would come in the mail, and I would dread opening it. I put my cards on auto-pay, so I wouldn't have to look at the balance. I didn't understand how interest worked; every six months I checked my balances and they didn't go down, which was so frustrating.What made you decide to tackle your debt?
I've had many triggers that made me want to get out of debt, but one moment stands out. It was after graduate school in Kansas. I went to the store for laundry detergent. Five of my credit cards were completely maxed out. I ended up splitting the transaction between the few dollars I had in my bank account and the few dollars I had available on my credit card.Why did that moment stand out?
It was truly so memorable because I felt so pathetic. I felt like the only person in the world who had been bad with money. It made me feel like a failure, like I would never get out of debt.How did you find out about a credit card hardship program?
In 2013, I called �[my credit card issuer] �to ask about a lower interest rate on two of my credit cards, which had balances of about $15,000 each. The woman on the phone asked me why I wanted a lower rate.
I told her my student loan payments had just come due and that I couldn't afford both. She transferred me to someone who asked about my salary, bank balance and monthly bills, and if I wanted to enroll in a hardship program.
On the program, my rates dropped to 2%, and I had to make fixed monthly payments for five years. My cards were closed immediately and I couldn't apply for another card. If I was late on two payments, I would be removed from the program and my rates would go back up. I finished the program in 2017, a year early.Tell me about using the debt snowball method to pay off your cards.
(Under debt snowball, you pay off the smallest debt first, then roll the amount you used to pay off that amount toward your bigger debts.)
I found Dave Ramsey when I was searching how to get out of debt online. For my birthday I asked my parents for Financial Peace University [Ramsey's money management class]. I built up my emergency fund and started the debt snowball. In the next two months, I paid off the first credit card and those small victories were so satisfying. Last year, I transferred the balances from my remaining cards to a 0% card from my credit union and paid it off.Did your income change while you were paying down debt?
I picked up a second job waitressing in 2013 because I didn't have enough money to meet my basic living expenses. Then I started babysitting, dog-sitting, and helping people pack and move. I sold stuff online and started freelance writing after graduate school. I put this income toward my debt.
I changed jobs, moved [from Kansas City] to Texas and got promotions [between 2013 and 2018], so my income eventually went up to $85,000.What would you tell someone starting out on their debt payoff journey?
Find other people [in the same situation] because having a community is the most important part of being successful. And take care of yourself " you have to support your physical and mental health in order to support your financial health.What are your financial goals now?
My husband, Michael, and I want to buy a house in the next year. Right now we have a year's worth of [combined �income] �saved up. We also want to pay off our student loans as soon as possible.HOW TO TACKLE YOUR OWN DEBT
Ready to face your own debts? Here's where to start:Try talking to your creditors. If your debt is concentrated on credit cards, it's worth asking for lower rates or checking if you're eligible for a hardship program. Banks offer these programs on a case-by-case basis.Build a budget to stay on top of expenses. Tomko says following a budget can be freeing, rather than limiting. NerdWallet recommends the 50/30/20 budget.Choose a payoff method that works for you. Tomko used debt snowball, but there are other ways to pay off debt, such as debt avalanche, which prioritizes debts with the highest interest rates first.Ask for help. You don't have to face debt alone. Seek out informal support from family and friends or, if your debt is overwhelming, reach out to a nonprofit credit counselor for guidance.

They were hush-hush about the updated projection clock, but it still looks nicer than the blocky DP100.
