Mystery Shopping is a great way to get out when you usually don't, and talk to people. I always encourage college students and young teens to try mystery shopping because you control your own schedule, which means you control your pay! Unfortunately, everyone can't get out and about like some can, so then I suggest Phone Mystery Shops.
Most companies want shoppers to be at least 18 years of age to be eligible for employment, and most jobs can be completed with just your cell phone. The secret to being a mystery shopper is that your job is, well, a secret! You can't let the company know they're being shopped! Violating the terms regarding discretion will get you banned! So keep in mind other organizations are relying on your accurate feedback and professionalism.
Did you ever think you could be a mystery shopper and never be required to leave home? With these jobs, you will perform your shops from home (if you choose and whenever possible) and do not need to worry about background noise. No one expects you to be a secret shopper because, well it's a secret, so background noise can be a positive in disguising your true identity.
Because you are rarely (some may hire you as an employee, I don't know them all) hired as more than an independent contractor, you can sign up with as many companies as you choose. Some college students have created full time incomes by mystery shopping in their spare time. This is a great opportunity to earn extra income for those who may not be able to leave home for whatever reasons.
Be mindful of sign up and testing instructions in order to be considered for these positions. If the site says NO CALLS, then please do not call or your application may be ignored. All jobs require attention to detail and good written and verbal communication skills. Much success on your journey!

Lovely print, true to colour. A bit smaller than I expected but I think this was influenced by the big packaging. I sort of wish I had had it framed but have left that to the person I gave it to as a gift. They liked it very much. Good efficient communication and delivery service. I think the cost equates to the product.

This runaway was found a few days ago..... missing a leg! After lounging away her days under my protection on the back porch, she had suddenly disappeared. I searched for her and assumed the worst. Now she's pregnant again and resides contentedly alongside a nearby oak tree. I wish her the best of luck as I resume keeping a watchful eye once again.
Here's a peak at her old home: http://carolynhietalanatureartpaintings.blogspot.com/2007/09/portable-housing-for-garden-spider.html

Internal State Department emails reviewed by Fox News reveal that as security unraveled in Yemen, U.S. personnel were scrambling to finalize their exit plan and were so uncertain about what would happen that procedures for safeguarding sensitive information were bypassed — with permission from Washington.
The unclassified emails reveal staff on the ground in Yemen, as well as senior department executives in Washington, were concerned the evacuation might go bad and left a communication network running at the embassy in case staff had to return. The emails point to uncertainty on the ground amid fast-moving developments, even as the Obama administration downplayed any irregularities.
"It wasn't hasty," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki insisted on Fox News' "The Kelly File" on Feb. 12, a day after the evacuation.
But one email reviewed by Fox News showed genuine concern — even panic — in Washington, that an unclassified system exposing emails and day-to-day operations was left up and running at the embassy in Sanaa.
"We need to quickly think about the plan for destroying/sanitizing the OpenNet data that is still in Sanaa," the email from a supervisor said.
"I am a little worried it is still out there."
That referred to a main communication link with Washington, known as OpenNet. The emails show that system — at what was one of the most heavily guarded U.S. embassies in the Middle East — was not shut down, in what was described to Fox News as a break in standard practice.
On Feb. 8, Ambassador Matthew Tueller — with the approval of Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy, one of the State Department's most senior executives — ordered staff to leave the OpenNet link up, in case the evacuation plan failed and they had to return to the embassy for an indefinite period.

text: colocation & outsourcing CLOSER TO THE EDGE As enterprises demand faster access to applications and ever more processing power, Daniel Beazer of Cogeco Peer 1 discusses the range of benefits of storing data in an edge data centre. T he physical nature of Internet infrastructure is changing. The explosion of the cloud, the arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the sheer amount of data we send and stream over the Internet has created the need to move the Internet's 'edge' closer to where the users are. 16 The most recent figures from the Office of National Statistics show that the Internet was accessed every day, or almost every day, by 78 per cent of adults (39.3 million) in Great Britain in 2015, compared with 35 per cent (16.2 million) in 2006, when directly comparable records began. This is putting huge strain on Internet infrastructure and, as a result, has led to the rise of the edge data centre. An 'edge data centre' is a facility located away from the big metropolitan hubs, like Silicon Valley, New York or London, that brings together content providers and major networks, extending the 'edge' of the web.

Volunteering while you are at university makes you stand out in the job market. You will be seen as an interesting and well-rounded individual who has engaged fully, not only with your academic life at university, but also with the wider community and have made a positive impact on the people you work with. It shows that you are able to commit to a project, work with other people in both big and small groups, challenge yourself, learn new things and give something back. It enables you to set yourself apart from your peers by showing skills valued by employers. It's also a great way to meet new people and it's definitely fun!
Volunteering at YUSU is divided into different aspects:
These are long-term, sustainable, entirely student-led projects and run with support from the Activities Officer, Community and Wellbeing Officer and Student Opportunities Coordinator (Volunteering).
We have 15 volunteering projects at present that work in various fields. Please have a look at the projects page to get an idea of what each one does.
As the title suggests, this is something that requires limited time commitment. These opportunities take place both on campus and out and are of a wide range. We currently have a few opportunities that students are able to access via 'Give it a Go'. Have a look at the schedule for next term here.
Most colleges at the University of York have volunteering opportunities for students. This changes every year and includes long-term projects and one-off events. The new Volunteering Officers for colleges have only just been elected and start next term. Watch this space for any developments!
The Volunteering Committee consists of one or two volunteering officers, college liaison officer, projects liaison officer, fundraising coordinator, events coordinator, social events coordinator and communications, PR and marketing coordinator. If you have any questions about volunteering, setting up a project or want to get onto the volunteer mailing list, please email email@example.com
Getting involved in YUSU Volunteering couldn't be simpler:
We're currently in the planning process for National Student Volunteering Week 2016 which is the 22nd-28th of February. Keep an eye on this page for updates on our plans!

From Han Chines perspective of the time, the Manchu Qing Empire was a foreign invader that invaded and occupied China since 1644. To put it simply, it was an Empire of 400-450 million people, ruled by a foreign tribe of 5 million. Regardless of European activities, the empire's subjects would've continued to rebel due to ethnic nationalism. Yuan Shikai pressured the Qing Imperials to abdicate in 1912 not because he couldn't defeat the rebels (he had already beaten them in battle) with the Beiyang Army, but because he knew that regardless of whatever benefits or titles the Manchus were willing to grant him, as an ethnic Han he will NEVER be one of THEM.HouseMD wrote: Also, foreigners were partly responsible for the fall of China. Absent foreign influence that made the monarchy appear ineffective and outdated, China would certainly have remained a kingdom.
An ethnic Manchu from birth enjoyed elite status and government pension for life. The original intent was that Manchus should continue to train as warriors of the banner armies instead of engaging in trade or work. Unfortunately the result from collecting handouts for couple centuries is that the tribal warriors turned into lazy bums that couldn't even ride a horse. That was the reason why the Manchu military weakened and they had to recruit ethnic Han to fight in the armies, which in turn held questionable loyalty to the Qing Imperials.
In effect, not having to work and given too much freedom & free time caused the decline and destruction of the Manchu tribe. After the fall of Qing, the once prominent Manchus were reduced to poverty as they lacked work ethnics, skills, and know-how. Being a fat, lazy poet did not pay the bills, and the once prominent Manchu families fell into poverty without government subsidies.

The Drones at Rosemount
Well I fried some bananas and then went downtown to see The Drones. I'd been thinking all day about this one lyric "You came here on a boat you fucking cunt". When I showed my french housemate who The Drones were I played her that one song, from "Taman Shud". After about sixteen seconds she said through her lipstick and accent, "I can see already they are good". And that is how it happens with all 'good' music – people who 'know' only need a few seconds to know. When Joe Alexander who runs Bedroom Suck Records was watching Peter Bibby for the first time though it took him several songs in, in fact 'til Pete did that one song about Australia/Straya where the whole crowd was whipped into a confused and then riotous fever by the same spirit of "You came here on a boat you fucken' cunt", that he realised why Pete was special. What do bananas and Peter Bibby and refugees on fire all have to do with The Drones playing at Rosemount? Plenty.
So I was frying some bananas for dinner before The Drones show. I was doing them the way my friend's African drug dealer in Paris, who's name means liberty, did them. In France if you rock up unannounced and then declare yourself as a refugee they are not allowed to lock you straight into prison, so this free man without papers was frying up bananas in a Parisian apartment for me and my friend.
And I was here in Fremantle frying bananas his way – just in oil in thick rounds in a very hot pan, while Nick and Tayo made dubby music in the other room. When we visited the Fremantle prison on band camp in high school, all my friends laughed and made jokes about 'garotting', but I as the perpetually serious one burned against them with the words "These were REAL PEOPLE" making the whites of my eyes tattooed and bloodshot in the spirit realms.
What was Gareth Liddiard like in high school? Did he laugh with the garotters or was he already burning up at any mention of injustice, but already mainly impotent except in words? Well, as the bananas fried I kept thinking about what I'd said to Eva the night before, "I feel like The Drones are sort of the only important band in Australia," and was thinking just three songs are needed for our country right now: 'Taman Shud', 'Treaty' by Yothu Yindi, and 'From Little Things Big Things Grow' by Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly. Love songs have some place somewhere in the landscape, but right now mainly it feels beside the point.
So I fried the bananas and went to the show. At first I wasn't allowed in due to some miscommunication, and I stood at the entrance shifting my weight from foot to foot, looking at my phone, looking at the door people doing their job, looking at my phone. I could hear Ben playing, all great but all thin from far off. I just had to imagine everyone getting into it, new fans I assumed would be created, until they let me burst into the scene for the last song and some guy absolutely wild on either music or some highly effective upper/outer was emphatically with his whole body and heaps of fast words exclaiming the injustice of Ben, James, Marc and Brett not getting to continue for hours more. In the front row was our musical city's private photographer Amber Bateup, and members of Rag n' Bone, and of Usurper of Modern Medicine and in the second row members of Shit Narnia and Pat Chow, and Tristan Fidler, always Tristan. We're always amongst friends now, but what are we going to politically do with it, all this friendship? Just keep on having a good time as people literally burn to be there too? Not at the Rosemount ready to hear Gareth repeat "You came here on a boat," but somewhere close by with a free bed to sleep in, able to go to the markets in the morning for bananas or listen to the radio even if it's not Tristan Fidler on RTR, or even watch Masterchef and gradually be able to see things on fire without traumatic memories rushing back in.
I hardly ever get the rush of waiting, waiting for the band to come on and then they come and it's explosive, but that happened.
I rehearsed in my mind the songs they played in order as they played them, so I could do a blow by blow, but it's all muddled in now and all I remember is the power of 'Taman Shud', maybe two songs in, and hearing voices singing the words all 'round, but not knowing if it was the crowd or a trick of my acoustic mind or a bunch of angels on fire asking our country to start a riot. That's what weaved through the whole show, a vision of everyone somehow rising up from apathy to actually break every single thing, set it all on fire until the basic justices are put in place: treaty, free entry for those that need it, someone to answer the fucking phone at Centrelink.
Then there were the songs when the three women came out. Gareth had been the centre-point of all of it 'til then, your eyes moving to the joyous enthusiasm of Christian the drummer, the impenetrable sheen of Dan the guitarist, never a misplacing a note or tone, the guarded and generous mystery of Fiona the bass player, the cheeky monkey keyboardist Steve, holding in his full weirdness for the music (this is all my wild assumptions of personality), which all together is at certain moments the only thing that matters, the realest and most violent and effective way to change everything, feel everything, and at other times is actually just a band. guitar, bass, guitar, keys, drums and one white man out the front singing about his feelings that he might not say to her face.
So, the three women came out, and I looked upon it with a feminist critique, which is to say, just logic, but knowing there was no critique really here. But just in case, three women, dressed the same, singing with one voice, lit demurely, while the man in the middle strains and stomps across his pedal board and still has the spotlight square on his chest. But this is not a band of patriarchy, this is a band like no/every other, pulling at the strings of a dying country knowing that the strings are attached to something living still, even if there's only a twitch of movement to prove it.
(I repeat, I am not making a critique of this band and their set up, I was letting my mind wander to the places it goes, where in other contexts the mud sticks, but here the mud is flinging off everywhere, showing some pearl of great price underneath.)
Prove it. Prove we're not dead. Prove we care that someone's alight. Prove we care all the coral is bleaching white, the shit white of a colonial past and present.
And in between all that, we do fall in love. I didn't mean what I said, that it doesn't matter. Gareth with all the women there singing "To Think That I Once Loved You" made so many tears well and fall. Imagine – everyone knows that thing, that feeling. I cried, I think Tristan cried. The Rag n' Bones singer and bass player touched hand and shoulder from in front and behind me. The room swelled up, as much as with the violence and fire feeling, but with something different. When the three women sung too it was all a mess sonically, my brain couldn't take it all in, but for moments when reached that same place of the Shud, wide, deep, motivating and frustrating and tear pulling.
Jimbo the sound man had given us all bottles of water, all the faces he knew from all our own shows, and to the weaker amongst us – me – gave earplugs which I kept taking in and out. It's a travesty, but I want to hear all this forever if I have the choice. In history class in year 6 our teacher was explaining to us in detail medieval torture methods like 'hung drawn and quartered' and I put my fingers in my ears. I didn't believe we needed to know all of the detail, I knew it wouldn't help me to know the detail then, so I shoved my pointers in and defied Mr Beeck. We want to hear forever, and really hear, so sometimes we have to wear ear plugs for a few moments.
Whatever, the show was amazing. The next night I discussed with Bibby in the backyard how good or not good we reckon The Drones are, Liddiard's solo album, instagram etc. and I remembered the car-sized silver flecked bass amp of Fiona, and Gareth's heaving chest that reminded me of my Polish granddad as a young man, lifting itself up into the lights, the facial expressions of the other three men, and just the same question over and over and over, of how to get everyone to be at least kinda free.

Many owners can attest to the problematic conditions that arise from poor roof maintenance. By utilizing the stuff you've gone over here, you should not need to deal with any bother later. Utilize this excellent data to make sure your roof is properly maintained. When you've got a basic handyman that does work in and around your private home, don't permit him to do anything to your roof. Fixing a roof requires a high degree of expertise and know-how. This is the reason you would be higher off hiring someone that focuses on one of these work.
Make certain your roof is nicely ventilated. Without good air flow, heat and humidity will be capable of do some serious damage to your roof. You'll be able to enhance your roof by adding additional events, or by adding a single power vent. As long as your roof has room to breathe, you will be in good condition. One of many fundamental reasons for roof leaks are on account of clogged gutters. When you don't clean your gutters commonly, you permit water to buildup each time it rains. This in turn, may cause leaks to happen. Be sure and clear your gutters of all particles repeatedly so as to stop this from taking place.
Earlier than hiring somebody to do work on your roof, ask them who their provider is. Make it some extent to name and verify that their account is in good standing. You do not want somebody to fix your roof then someone else comes and tells you that you are liable for paying any remaining balances. Do what you'll be able to to maintain your gutters clear from particles. In case your gutters are clogged it can lead to water sitting in your roof for an prolonged period of time. That may then result in water damage to the roof, which then might result in some very heavy leaking. Forestall catastrophe by keeping up in your gutters through the year.
Some contractors use a magnetic machine to search out stray nails.
Ensure that your roofing contractor has a safety plan. You should ask a contractor for their safety plan before letting them work on your home. These plans are very important for making sure your mission is accomplished. They are also required by OSHA or the Occupational Security and Well being Administration. Hopefully, this text has helped you discover out extra about roofing. Many issues that needs to be thought about have been discussed, and now the ball is in your court docket. It's time to make the precise plans. Your roof is an important part of your house, and a huge part of protecting your family.
If you may be going up on your roof to fix a leak, always work with a buddy. Roofing will be actually harmful and a fall will be devastating. Using a harness will assist to ensure no unhealthy accidents happen. You at all times want to put on rubber soled footwear for further traction too. If you're attempting to hire a roofing contractor, it's worthwhile to be certain that they are in possession of legal responsibility insurance coverage. Insurance coverage is a sign of a reliable contractor. If anything occurs while they work on your roof, the insurance coverage will maintain it.
Always read the fantastic print, and just remember to totally perceive every part before signing any contracts with a roofing contractor. An sincere contractor will need you to totally perceive the phrases and conditions, while being pleased to reply any questions for you. If the contractor doesn't do this, find yourself a brand new one. Is it time for a new roof? A roofing job is just not solely an enormous venture, but is pricey as nicely. That's the reason you need to ensure you rent the correct professional for the job. Do a superb amount of research to make sure that you are hiring the precise firm.
The most effective ways to discover a source of a roof leak is to make use of water itself. It may be difficult to see the place a leak is coming from in the course of a storm, but a backyard hose will mean you can test your roof until the leak has been found. It can be crucial that any roofing contractor you might be considering gives you with the address of their physical location. It shouldn't be a PO box or an condo! When they have workplace house, even whether it is within a house they own, you know the place to go when you've got any problems.
This kind of shingle is rated from 15 to 25 years, and the extra you pay the longer the lifetime of the shingle. You should use these items to guide you to the spot the leak is coming from.

37 Ways To Be Seductive With A Man!!!!
Ideas about art, life, and the American Way of Loneliness
Thirty Seven Ways to be Seductive with a Man—For Men and Women
One of my prime feelings lately is that too many gay men have lost the talent of being seductive. A generation or two ago, it seemed to go with the territory. Maybe too many of us had seen too many old movies and knew the moves that the stars of old used, to keep them stars—but seduction I feel has become a lost art, but one which a little practice we can bring back again.
So to reacquaint you with it, I offer 37 ways to be seductive. You might find more at my website, www.perrybrass.com, but these 37 are good ways to begin.

The restoration of our Lady Chapel begins its final phase this week. We are grateful for your support and contributions that have made it possible for us to restore the ceiling and brick walls of the Lady Chapel, thus completing the works on this beautiful part of the Rosary Shrine church. The work will take about three weeks and during this time we endeavour to maintain access to the church via the Lady Chapel door. The daily Mass schedule is not affected by the works, although weekday Adoration will cease during this period. Adoration will, of course, resume once the works are completed.
Our vision for the Shrine is for it to become an important centre for promoting the Christian faith through the Holy Rosary. We want to welcome many pilgrims from far and wide and ensure they have a valuable experience that deepens their faith and understanding.

Shaylie cracks us up!
Last night Steve was tucking Shaylie into bed and she was just goofing off and playing around with him (like they always do at bedtime) and he was trying to get her to say "good night" to him and she would only nod, so Steve asked her if she remembered how to talk and she nodded yes, then he said "what words do you remember" and she answered back "like onomatopoeia", we laughed so hard because a couple months ago we were explaining that word to Bridger one night when he was reading and their was a word like "meow" in it and he asked why the word sounded like the actual sound; I had no idea that she was even paying attention to the conversation at all, and to just randomly bring it up at that time was so hilarious, that just goes to say that you have to be very careful to what you say around your kids, cause you have no idea what they remember and when they will bring it up.

Teens Mistake Cremated Remains For Cocaine
If you're having a bad day, you can always count on idiots in the news to cheer you up. After all, they're not only having a bad day, but it's published!
Some teenagers in Florida have been arrested in connection with the burglary of a home. Among the items taken were the ashes of a woman's father along with the ashes of her two Great Danes, plus electronics and jewelery. After taking the ashes, the teens snorted some of them, thinking it was cocaine or heroin.
Of course there was no high that followed. When they realized they weren't achieving the high they desired, they threw the urn into a nearby lake.
"The suspects mistook the ashes for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine," the sherriff's report said.
Once they realized their error, the suspects discussed returning the remaining ashes but threw them in a lake instead because they thought their fingerprints were on the containers, sheriff's spokesman Judge Cochran said.
Police divers were trying to recover the ashes. The suspects were jailed onnumerous burglary and other charges.
I've never tried cocaine or heroin, so I probably wouldn't know the difference either. If the substance I'm about to snort, however, is coming out of an urn, I would hope to have enough common sense to NOT try it. Now they not only have an arrest to deal with, but they'll always be known as the kids who snorted cremated ashes and fodder for jokes at their high school reunions.

It's not what you know, it's who you know. It doesn't matter if you have a Harvard MBA; if you're going into business for yourself you need to put yourself out there and make connections. Otherwise, how can you expect your business to succeed?
If you identify yourself as shy and introverted, however, making conversation with strangers can be challenging.
Even the most outgoing people can feel awkward at networking events because it's hard to make conversation with someone when you want something from them, whether it be a sale or a career opportunity. It's always a difficult balance to figure out how direct to be in these situations.
Luckily, here are a few tips for even the shyest person to make valuable use of networking events. (Some of which I myself have learned through trial and error.)
1. Begin with The End in Mind
The first thing you should do before you go to a networking event or meet anyone is to figure out what you want and how the people at the event can help you get it. Do you want capital for your business? Do you want to make sales? Are you looking for potential partners who have skill sets that would be valuable for your business? Whatever it is, define your goal.
2. Do Your Research
While it's productive to talk to as many people as you can, you want to be strategic about it. It would be a waste of time time to talk to every single person, so make sure to research who's going to be there (either through the event's website or through Facebook) and figure out the three or four people who can help you achieve your goals. Is a major venture capitalist that specializes in your industry going to be there? Will there be new potential clients for whom your product or service could really make a difference? These are the people on whom you want to focus your networking skills. Even if you can't find a master list of every guest, chances are that the event is posted to Facebook and you can look at the invited guest list and do your research from there
This erases some of the awkwardness of an initial encounter because you have already done your research about who this person is, what they do, and how you can help each other. This gives you something concrete to talk about from the get-go. In addition, it's more productive to make deeper connections with a few people rather than making shallow connections with a lot of people.
3. What To Talk About
It's both a blessing and a curse of networking events that everyone is strictly there for business. On one hand, you already have a clear topic to talk about. On then other hand, how do you approach this topic without sounding like you're trying to make a sales pitch?
Though it is an awkward balance, the best way to approach this topic is by talking about your passion. Don't talk about numbers and figures (which the other person can probably find on your website anyway), talk about what brought you to where you are. Why this company? Why this industry? What gets you out of bed and going to work in the morning? Not only is that a more interesting story than your sales projections for the next quarter, but it also makes you more human and creates a genuine and sincere conversation because your openness and enthusiasm will make others more likely to open up to you.
As passionate as you are about your business, be sure to ask the person about themselves as well. Maybe you found something in your research that you find particularly interesting and you want to learn more. Not only will this allow you to learn key information about how you can help them when you're making the pitch, but you're also showing the other person that you are interested in them as well, which will make them more likely to want to work with you in the future.
4. Catching Flies with Honey
Now is not the time to make a proposition or a sales pitch. Because the networking event is ostensibly a social event, bringing business into the conversation in an overt way may feel heavy-handed. The networking event is a door to build a connection, so make sure you leave the conversation with their business card and contact information. Chances are that people are more than happy to give you that information because they will have something to gain by sharing it as well.
Don't underestimate these connection building events because it will be so much easier to try and do business with someone with whom you have a personal connection, and this will set you up for business success in the long run.
Final Thoughts
These tips should erase most awkwardness and allow you to feel more confident. When you're the thinking about getting to know someone rather than how they can help your business, things should go much more smoothly and feel more natural. One final tip: even though it's important to identity specific people you want to talk to, don't underestimate or overlook anyone. Who knows? The person who you meet over by the shrimp cocktails could be looking to invest in a company exactly like yours. Also remember to relax and enjoy the free food in the process!

Mike Stern is a jazz / fusion guitarist with very interesting tone and gear. His music has got a lot of really groovy-bluesy-jazzy lines with a dynamic rhythm. I can hear in his work a mix of many techniques of guitar playing.
He's got his signature guitar, made by Yamaha. Stern is an often user of chorus, delay, distortion and few other types of effects. He like to play on solid state amps, Yamaha G100 (yeah, no tube).

We report on a plasmonic light-trapping concept based on localized surface plasmon polariton induced light scattering at nanostructured Ag back contacts of thin-film silicon solar cells. The electromagnetic interaction between incident light and localized surface plasmon polariton resonances in nanostructured Ag back contacts was simulated with a three-dimensional numerical solver of Maxwell's equations. Geometrical parameters as well as the embedding material of single and periodic nanostructures on Ag layers were varied. The design of the nanostructures was analyzed regarding their ability to scatter incident light at low optical losses into large angles in the silicon absorber layers of the thin-film silicon solar cells.

This is the Wiki entry for the ICT fundamentals project appointed to Ibn-i-Rushd and Mohsin Shehzad.
Its contents are as follows:
Table of Contents
Project Description
The term project chosen by us is the use of online resources of Classroom 2.0 (classroom20.com) to enhance productivity and aid in the learning procedure. It involves reviewing the website and going through all the features and resources presented by it and finding their applications in our engineering studies and practices.
Classroom 2.0
Classroom 2.0 (www.classroom20.com) is a social network like facebook or myspace, designed for educationalists interested in the practical application of computer technology (especially Web 2.0) and other collaborative technologies in the classroom and in their own professional development.
It was a project started by Steve Hargadon in March 2007 as a platform for educationalists to utilize the existing networking tools to assist them in incorporation of Web 2.0 and other collaborative technologies in their physical world Classroom environment. It is created using the Ning Create your-own-network web application (www.Ning.com). It gradually became popular for its easygoingness and user friendly interface as well as welcoming environment for newbies. Right now it has more than 18000 educationalists blogging and sharing their experiences from across the globe in more than Eleven (11) languages including Portuguese, Hebrew and Japanese.
The main aspect of this site is to aid the educators, in particular those ones who hadn't had much experience with online tools offered by WEB 2.0.But gradually it has become a site for discussions of other conventional means of teaching and education too.
Since it is a networking site So it provides one with all the networking tools as given below:
All the features which are offered by the CR 2.0 and their applications are explained below in the order that they were researched.
A weblog (usually shortened to blog, but occasionally spelled web log or weblog) is a web-based publication consisting primarily of periodic articles, most often in reverse chronological order." [From Wikipedia]
In Cr 2.0, the blogging is a very rich tool used in a great way to communicate the thoughts, ideas, experiences and the resulting comments and feedback provides great encouragement and morale building. As a result people open up to these Web 2.0 tools and become a part of this online community more actively.
Importance and Uses of Blogging in Education and for Students
• Parents-Teacher interaction:
• Teacher Communication:
• Student's Blogging with each other and across the globe:
• Creates enthusiasm for writing and Communications:.
• Helps them find their Voice:
• Empowers students:
Forum Discussions
The forum or Discussion board is a discussion place for all the educationalists to discuss a particular topic or related topics. This is a great way to discuss problems, difficulties and other teaching related issues with other teachers and educationalists. This way a kindergarten teacher from some central Asian state could suggest a solution to a difficulty faced by some KG teacher in Brazil. This also serves to create bonds between people participating on these forums and interest groups around a group discussion.
In CR 2.0 forums, it was amazing to see how enriched and useful conversations were taking place between people thousands of miles away from each other but they were linking and connecting so easily that the marvels of internet forums couldn't be ignored. It was interesting to see how people from different parts of world with different religious, cultural, ethnic backgrounds approach the same problem or point under discussion.
Importance and Uses of Forums
CR 2.0 forums are the backbone of all the technological innovations being discussed and carried out in their classes by the members of the CR 2.0 because that is where their ideas are given birth to and shared with others.
The forums could be used to:
- Find solutions of problems/issues faced by educationalists
- Discuss any new technology being implemented in classes at other regions
- Find links for resources and multimedia content
- Sharing of ideas of teaching methods
- Compare assignments and exam questions
- Compare the syllabi and course contents
To sum it up the uses and importance of Cr 2.0 forums are observed to have immense value at increasing the efficiency/productivity of educational process.
Media Content of CR 2.0
Like any current networking website, CR 2.0 also lets you upload media content which is quite useful as described below.
1. Audio Playlist
The audio playlist contains interviews, dialogues and audio clips discussing the implementation of the technologies mentioned before in classroom environment, innovative ideas about educationalists growth, technological advances and their increasing role in teaching process and also the general environment of CR 2.0.
2. Video Clips
The learning process becomes quicker with the help of the video clips uploaded on CR 2.0 which range from all topics of science, arts to teaching methods .They involve great clips to motivate educationalists to use Web 2.0, tutor how to use them in an easy way as well as explain the their advantages along the way. It also has video content related with parental guidance for good education of their children. Also there are videos which make even the tough most conceptual lessons a piece of cake for students.
3. Photo Slides
We know that in enhancing the learning process, Visual contents play a great role so CR 2.0 also provides its members with the ability to upload pictures which involve all sorts of content ranging from snaps taken during the usage of technologies in class to lesson related pictures diagrams etc, to photos of the events, seminars, workshops organized by CR 2.0.
Networking and Groups
Since CR 2.0 is originally a networking site so the main purpose of it is to help interconnect people with same interests and objectives. It is observed that CR 2.0 serves this purpose in a very fine way by allowing people to hit up each other with all the networking tools like messaging, chatting, etc.
Further CR 2.0 allows members to form groups with a particular theme or heading where members with that particular interest or field could join it and benefit. The practical use of it is that to make subgroups within Cr 2.0 allows educationalists from a single branch of science or arts subject to congregate and discuss technological innovations in their field of education. This sub grouping technique allows educationalists to concentrate their energies to further improve their skills and bring innovation to impart better education.
In Cr 2.0, many events occur regularly which include real life, online as well as Second life events which are basically to pursue the same cause of incorporation of technology in education process to further improve its productivity. Although sometimes their themes are more conventional ones like environment, scientific etc which are mostly organized by other organizations and CR 2.0 members are invited in them.
Though mostly the real life events occur at USA but their video clips and detailed report of what happened is available so that someone who is unable to attend these events could also benefit from them. While the online events and Secondlife ones are organized keeping in mind the physical distances of the members from each other or their inability to meet due to different reasons.
These events serve great purpose as they are designed to create awareness about technological use in classroom environment at all levels and they have been quite successful in selling the people with their ideas and making them a believer. They also serve as a way to get feedback from people about the work being done.
Live Shows
Classroom 2.0 LIVE is an online event organized for members to get together and interact as in real life all complete with audio, chat, desktop sharing, and sometimes even video. It is usually setup to discuss, ponder over some pre-selected topic using Elluminate technologies. These topics are selected from the suggestions put forward by the members of CR 2.0.
These shows serve great purpose of commenting on great new applications of technology in classroom environment as well as discussion of other education related topics. It serves to ease the difficulty faced by conventional educationalists in overcoming their fear or hesitation of using Web 2.0 technologies like Google Docs, Blogging, Skype, etc.
It is a wiki site that is devoted to collecting resources for the classroom and professional-development use of Web 2.0 and collaborative technologies. It consists of some of the greatest links for the applications of Web 2.0 technologies on learning procedure. Each technology has given description of its application and links to sites which host those tools.
Its importance could be determined from the fact that it is recommended as the single most resourceful webpage with all the entries from the applications of Web 2.0 and other collaborative technologies given. If someone could master all the technologies mentioned on this wiki, his/her learning procedure is sure to become more productive and efficient by many folds.
Classroom 2.0 organizes free workshops around the country in which they openly invite educators and all its members interested in Web 2.0 and collaborative technologies in the education sector. These workshops are held for the beginners with the theme of "free, open, engaging, participative, and highly collaborative" just like the Web 2.0.These workshops consist of presentations, discussions, addresses, all with hands-on experience to remove any hesitation, fear whatsoever from the mind of newbie. They are also helpful for experienced Web 2.0 users as they also get to learn something new and share their own experiences with the beginners.
These workshops are important as they create awareness about the web 2.0 phenomena which is enveloping the entire online world nowadays. Further it also serves as a recruiting and marketing purpose for Cr 2.0.
RSS is abbreviation of Rich Site Summary. It refers to a format for delivering regularly changing web content which includes news related to sites, updates in their weblogs, other online publisher's latest content, and audio content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
CR 2.0 also sends RSS feed to your RSS reader for your convenience with all the latest news and updates regarding the forums, blogs, events, multimedia content, workshops and Live shows being hosted.
They are important as they serve to keep you updated without having to go through all the web pages separately. It saves ones time.
Applications of CR 2.0 Resources in Our NUST Class Environment
While researching for the project, we came across great applications of Web 2.0, Collaborative technologies and other common technologies (that we use commonly in our daily life), in the education process. By using them in our present class environment, we can greatly increase our efficiency in learning procedure. It just requires a little innovative thinking and maybe a little adaptation by teachers. The essence of this project could be described to be the following applications of technologies in our class study environment.
• Use your Camera Phone
Camera phones are very common these days so they could be used to take a high resolution snap of ECA circuit diagrams at the end of class and archive it for later to be studied. Also if one finds it hard to keep up with the pace of teacher writing the solution of questions on white board while trying to understand them, one could just take picture of written material from his/her friend notebook and view it later on PC.
• Online Calendars
Calendars could be maintained online by teachers and students posting the dates of assignment return, quizzes, Laboratory schedules, seminars and other extra curricular activities on classroom level as well just like it's done on SEECS website.
• Students Blogging
Students could blog with each other as well as with teachers to ask questions, discuss topics, setup help sessions, plan trips, etc. As described before it has numerous invaluable uses for a student. Both educationally, personality grooming, mental growth as well as it also serves the purpose of entertainment.
• Maintaining each Course's website
A course website for each course should be created and updated on daily basis by collective efforts of class and teacher .This website should be posted with all the course related content, evaluated marks of quizzes and exams, latest assignments, information about makeup classes, etc.
• Use of collaborative Document
Collaborative documents could be used to create projects while the members of the group are at home. Further it could be used to solve assignments by helping each other out.
• Instant Messaging
IM could help a lot in student-student as well as student-teacher communication. The students could ask questions from the teachers and get answers instantly. They could also chat with their peers to remove their confusion or discuss about their assignment etc.
• Online Meeting
Teacher and students could arrange online conferences by teacher preparing the lecture content and all students being online and they can almost have a real classroom environment by desktop sharing, instant chatting and A/V conferencing going on with Elluminate like software. In this way combined study could also be done.
• Podcasting
Teacher's lectures could be recorded and uploaded and then sent through feeds to students for listening to enhance their learning.
• Lab management software
Lab management softwares like iTALC can be used to regulate the use of computers in computer laboratories by remote controlling computers so that they could be turned on and off, logged on and off and even locked by teacher or Lab assistant to ensure their right usage. Further text messages could be sent to each individual Pc user and their internet access could be restricted remotely.
• Photo Sharing
The photo sharing could be used to upload or send photos to students cell phones through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology of particular events(with their date) in history in Pakistan studies Class to enable students to remember their date and event better by associating it with the picture in their minds.
• Video Lectures
The lectures of teachers if could be recorded, Then they could be later on watched by students helping them understand their syllabus better.
Also, to further broaden or improve your concepts, the students could visit MIT opencourseware to watch video lectures of their eminent professors.
We hope that this wiki proves useful for you guys.Some links for the resources and references have been given below for you to check out for further information.

Yep, you read the post title correct. It's time for my blog to represent my author name, rather then an idea I had over four years ago.
Rise of the Slush will soon be no more, though I'll keep the posts up here for a bit. In the meantime, starting on Monday, February 23rd, all new posts and old ones will be moving over to my new blog site, soon-to-be website.
I've had a lot of fun posting on blogger, and while sometimes the site itself posed some challenges I have enjoyed the years from the early, random blogs to reviews to the more spotlight, interview and promotional posts I've been able to host for other authors.
On the new blog you can expect more of the same. I'll still be posting promo, Interviews with Victoria, and Thursday reads, but the blog will be joining up with a an actual website making it easy for new readers and current readers to locate me.
I guess you could say I'm growing up. Who knew that would happen? Not, me.
Stay safe and warm readers. It's cold in North America right now.
I'll catch you on the flip-side.

All welcome, if you're interested please email us at garageblackboardlectures[at]gmail[dot]com so we can confirm numbers, and so we can send you more info.
Details of the course below:
Modernity and the Birth of the Individual
Modernity and the Birth of the Individual is a class about the differences between Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, community/traditional society and civil society/modernity.
Traditional society is a place of unfreedom, where human beings are locked into rigid roles and social relationships. In communities, it can be said there are no true individuals, no freedom of thought, no 'social mobility'. The monetization of Europe in the 15th Century initiated a time of freedom, internality, of fluid social bonds, of individuality, freedom of thought, and also freedom of movement.
Foucault: Response
In traditional societies, there is greater freedom, because domination is imprecise. Human beings do not exist for the sovereign, as long as they work, pay tax, and do not transgress the law. Communities have some freedom to determine the contents of their collective existence. Also, because the sovereign says 'no', because there are taboos, there are definite places to strike. Communities who are unhappy with the sovereign are able to arm themselves and attack a real site of power. In modernity, power moves from the centre outward, flooding the whole body of society. Disciplinary techniques of power now put every human being under the microscope, and spread out from armies and prisons into schools, workplaces and hospitals. Nobody is invisible to power. For every visible element of societal freedom, there is a dark countermeasure, making human beings docile, impotent, productive, and without targets to attack, should they become unhappy. In short, for Simmel, the trajectory from Gemeinschaft to Gesellschaft is one from unfreedom to freedom. For Foucault, the reverse is true.2) Weber v. Adorno
This is a similar argument.
Weber: Proposition …
Adorno: Response
It is not the case that Instrumental Rationality gives us a chance of being free that will probably not eventuate, due to the wont of Instrumentally Rational means to solidify into autonomous ends, to slip beyond our control. Adorno says, rather: Instrumentally Rational means must solidify into autonomous ends—any attempt at 'world mastery' must lead to the mastery of us by the means we create to master it—and it is foolish to even toy with the idea that we can make rationality 'instrumentally' rational, and use it for our own ends. For Adorno, basically, we have no hope, except to destroy the system and escape from it completely. There is no freedom in modernity. Adorno's most interesting argument, which we will discuss, is that there is more potential for freedom in totalitarianism than in 'democratic modernity'. Adorno's culture industry and Foucault's absence of the sovereign who says no have exciting resonances, as do, of course, Simmel's and Weber's theories of human cultural inventions that develop independent logics.Finally: 3)
Nietzsche v. Castoriadis
This is the strangest argument of the course. It is, basically that for Nietzsche (and Simmel takes this from him) the human being of modernity is nothing like the human being of pre-modernity. They are different animals, who have not been 'trained', or 'civilised', but have been turned into a qualitatively different thing altogether. Castoriadis counters that human beings are always the same, ontologically speaking, but create vastly different worlds and identities depending upon whether there is a space for their innate creative capacity to be operative or not.

Terms would be cash and as the buyer you would be charged any actual shipping charges. Costs for boxes and packing would be charged only if it's necessary for me to purchase same.
Be sure to look through all the way to the end as I will list in no particular order. 73 de Jim
