Yesterday, I held a WiZiQ session on the use of online tech in higher education:
Enthusing Higher Education: Getting Universities and Colleges to Play with Online Tools and Services
[slideshare id=528283&doc=enthusinghighered-1217010739916970-8&w=425]
(Full multimedia recording available here)
During the session, Nellie Deutsch shared the following link:
Diffusion of Innovations, by Everett Rogers (1995)
Haven't read Rogers's book but it sounds like a contextually easy to understand version of ideas which have been quite clear in Boasian disciplines (cultural anthropology, folkloristics, cultural ecology…) for a while. But, in this sometimes obsessive quest for innovation, it might in fact be useful to go back to basic ideas about the social mechanisms which can be observed in the adoption of new tools and techniques. It's in fact the thinking behind this relatively recent blogpost of mine:
Technology Adoption and Active Reading
My emphasis during the WiZiQ session was on enthusiasm. I tend to think a lot about occasions in which, thinking about possibilities afforded technology relates to people getting "psyched up." In a way, this is exactly how I can define myself as a tech enthusiast: I get easy psyched up in the context of discussions about technology.
What's funny is that I'm no gadget freak. I don't care about the tool. I just love to dream up possibilities. And I sincerely think that I'm not alone. We might even guess that a similar dream-induced excitement animates true gadget freaks, who must have the latest tool. Early adopters are a big part of geek culture and, though still small, geek culture is still a niche.
Because I know I'll keep on talking about these things on other occasions, I can "leave it at that," for now.
RERO's my battle cry.


text: Geothermal Heating Makes For a Greener Home April 01, 2011 Looking for a Greener Way to Live? Geothermal heating and cooling is a "homegrown" green energy resource. It isn't imported and cannot be outsourced, so it reduces our dependency on foreign oil and the use of fossil fuels like coal. Greener means providing the same comfort as conventional heating and cooling options while generating jobs right here in Olive Branch; and saving the environment all at the same time! Like most homeowners around the Olive Branch area, you're searching for energy-saving ways to meet your comfort needs. Geothermal heating falls in line with this line of thinking. Our systems are environmentally friendly and a cost effective choice in home heating and cooling. The Evidence is Compelling A joint study, "Space Conditioning: The Next Frontier" (EPA 430-R-93-004), from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) concluded that geothermal heat pumps are the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective way to condition our nation's buildings and homes. You're not alone if you value the Energy Star label and the energy-efficient products it represents? Nearly 70% of Energy Star purchasers reported being influenced by products that carry it. When you add to these benefits... a great 30% geothermal tax credit for total installation costs until December 2016 numerous utility rebates and state incentives It's easy to see why geothermal has been growing at a rapid pace. Choose a greener way to save "green". Contact Air & Heat Service Co. today and take advantage of these superb benefits. Join the millions who've already switched, and found a smarter, greener way to heat and cool their homes and businesses. Back To News

One of the most interesting discoveries made so far by the Opportunity rover on Mars has been the small round spherules or "blueberries" as they are commonly referred to, covering the ground at the rover's landing site. Typically only a few millimetres across, some lie loose on the soil while others are imbedded in rock outcrops.
Analysis by Opportunity indicates that they are most likely a type of concretion, which are also found on Earth. These Martian concretions have been found to contain the mineral hematite, which explains its detection in this region from orbit, and one of the main reasons that the rover was sent to this location in Meridiani Planum in the first place. They are similar to the Moqui Marbles, iron-oxide concretions in the outcrops of Navajo Sanstone in Utah, which formed in groundwater.
Now, the rover (eight years later and still going!) has found what may be a different type of spherule. These ones generally resemble the previous ones, but are quite densely packed in an unusual rock outcrop that is on the eastern side of Cape York, the small island-like ledge on the rim of the huge Endeavour crater. With brittle-looking "fins" of material, the outcrop is an an area that from orbit has been identified as containing small clay deposits. There are also more substantial clay deposits farther south along Endeavour's rim at the much larger Cape Tribulation, the next major destination of Opportunity.
Whether this outcrop actually has any clay in it isn't known yet, but the examination of it by Opportunity continues at the time of this writing. Some spherules have apparently broken off the outcrop, exposing their inside structure. The new close-up images of the spherules were taken by the Microscopic Imager (MI) on the rover.

What makes these spherules of interest is the possibility that they may be connected somehow to the clay deposits. Their dense concentration in the outcrop and the physical nature of the outcrop itself may indicate a different origin than the other spherules seen previously, as well as the fact that no hematite signature has been seen from orbit in this specific area (although there may be smaller amounts of hematite here as well). We will just have to wait for the results of the rover's analysis to come back, but they should be interesting.
Opportunity is specifically looking for the clay deposits in this area, as they could have formed in non-acidic (or pH neutral) water as often happens on Earth. As we have seen in just the last few days though, the origin of Martian clays is itself still a subject of debate.
The whitish gypsum veins already seen at Cape York and examined by Opportunity also indicate the presence of liquid water at this location in the distant past. There are some interesting light-coloured veins in this same outcrop as well; whether they are also gypsum or something else isn't known yet.
Thanks also to Stuart Atkinson for his excellent mosaic images made from the original Opportunity photos.

Sun Bicycle are known mostly, I think, for their industrial trikes and bikes for warehouse use, along with their line of low cost recumbent bikes designed by Easy Racer.
I didn't realize until today that Sun is the cost leader in longtail cargo bikes with their Atlas Cargo, which is available (complete) for $679.
For that price you get a decent, Xtracycle-compatible frame and low-end components. Joe's Bike gives you the run down of Sun's Atlas Cargo positives and negatives. Clever Cycles also took a look (read the comments on that post). Some of the takeaways:
- This is a really inexpensive cargo bike!
- Xtracycle stuff plugs right in!
- It's ugly – paint, welds, frame design.
- Handles pretty nicely.
- A little bit heavy, maybe, compared to some other more expensive longtails.
- 400 lb load capacity.
- Too bad it doesn't have side decks.
- Low end components, but they'll do the job.
- Kickstand could be better, but at least it's standard equipment on this bike.
- Dirt cheap!
More about the Sun Atlas Cargo Bicycle here. I think Sun is still a part of J&B Importers, one of the big bike part distribution channels, so you can probably order one from any bike shop that has the J&B catalog. H/T to Chris.

We've lived in Western New York about seven years now. Out time here hasn't been without travel, but neither have we had as much time to explore as we might like, especially since The Batavian became our full time job.
People were always surprised when I told them, I'd never been to the City of Buffalo, nor to Niagara Falls, nor to Letchworth State Park. Now, in the space of just a couple of weeks, I've been to all three.
First, was Buffalo. A few Sunday mornings ago, I was asked to appear on a Sunday morning talking show on WGRZ. After the show, I took a little time to drive downtown. I was in a big city, but it was a Sunday. The streets were nearly deserted. I found myself before long driving around the McKinley Monument and impressed by the Gotham-city heft of Buffalo's City Hall.
A week later Billie and I glided into our 20th Wedding Anniversary. We stayed at a Downtown Buffalo hotel (in the slide show, two more pictures of Buffalo City Hall and of an old car on the street below taken from our balcony) and the next day, visited the Martin House (a Frank Lloyd Wright design) and Niagara Falls.
Rounding out our WNY bucket list was a drive through Letchworth last week. This came about because I was hired to photograph a dairy farmer in Great Valley, which is about two hours south of here with Letchworth more or less on the same route. Time was short on the return trip, but we did manage to see the great falls and stop at a couple of lookout over "the Grand Canyon of the East."

Argument recap: A lift for the mandate? (FINAL UPDATE 5:12 pm)
on Mar 28, 2012 at 6:56 pm
The Supreme Court spent 91 minutes Wednesday operating on the assumption that it would strike down the key feature of the new health care law, but may have convinced itself in the end not to do that because of just how hard it would be to decide what to do after that. A common reaction, across the bench, was that the Justices themselves did not want the onerous task of going through the remainder of the entire 2,700 pages of the law and deciding what to keep and what to throw out, and most seemed to think that should be left to Congress. They could not come together, however, on just what task they would send across the street for the lawmakers to perform. The net effect may well have shored up support for the individual insurance mandate itself.
The dilemma could be captured perfectly in two separate comments by Justice Antonin Scalia — first, that it "can't be right" that all of the myriad provisions of the law unrelated to the mandate had to fall with it, but, later, that if the Court were to strike out the mandate, "then the statute's gone." Much of the lively argument focused on just what role the Court would more properly perform in trying to sort out the consequences of nullifying the requirement that virtually every American have health insurance by the year 2014.
The Wednesday morning argument offered the Court three mutually exclusive options: strike down all of the Affordable Care Act along with the mandate (the challengers' position), strike down only two core changes in the way the health insurance system works (the government position), and strike down nothing but the mandate (the position of a Court-appointed lawyer). Not one seemed to be especially appealing to members of the Court, and each of the three lawyers who came to the lectern faced tough and often skeptical questioning, from across the bench.
Congress's capacity to react in a sensible way also came into some question, particularly from Justice Scalia and, in a way, from Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, both of whom seemed to harbor doubts that the lawmakers would be up to the task of working out a new health care law if this one failed, either totally or partially. Scalia noted the problems in the filibuster-prone Senate. Kennedy wondered whether expecting Congress to perform was a reference to "the real Congress or a hypothetical Congress."
In the past, the Court has not spoken clearly about what is called the doctrine of "severability" — that is, if one part of a federal law is struck down as unconstitutional, can most or all of the rest of it be "severed" from the dead part and thus salvaged. At the end of the morning argument, it was not evident that the Court will do very much clarifying in the health care case. Of course, it could leave the doctrine as it stands if it were to uphold the mandate, and it would not have to solve the struggle that it encountered over the fate of the ACA without the mandate.
The Court also could avoid settling the severability issue in this case if it were to take the government's suggestion that, for technical legal reasons, none of the challengers had any right to ask that other parts of the ACA be struck down along with the mandate. That argument, advanced by Deputy Solicitor General Edwin S. Kneedler, found no support on the bench. If the severability issue has to be faced, due to a nullification of the mandate, the Court appeared determined to try to work through it, however distasteful — or even disorienting — that task might be.
Washington attorney Paul D. Clement wanted to make that task very easy for the Justices: after you take out the mandate, then declare none of the remaining provisions can stand — however unrelated they may seem to be to the mandate. Though some parts of the law may be worthwhile, said Clement, "you are going to have to take the bitter with the sweet."
When Justice Sonia Sotomayor became the first to ask "why don't we let Congress fix it," the challengers' lawyer said that Congress would have to get involved no matter what the Court decided, but he said the Court would have to decide what task to leave to the lawmakers: "Do you want to give Congress the task of fixing the statute after something has been taken out, especially a provision at the heart, or do you want to give Congress the task of fixing health care?" It was clear that he thought the better result would be to make it so that Congress would have to start all over to fix the nation's health care system.
Justice Scalia then set out on what would become a dominant theme: the difficulty of figuring out, after the fact, what Congress would have wanted stricken from the law if it knew it could not have the mandate. If there were one small provision that had to be stricken, perhaps because Congress wrote it into the law to help win votes for the overall measure, Scalia asked, why would the entire law have to go? But that simply enabled Clement to make his basic point that, it was not some small provision that caused the constitutional problem, it was the mandate, the package of provisions related to it, and many other sections of the law that would be linked directly or indirectly to the mandate.
The more liberal members of the Court began joining in, suggesting that they were interested in salvaging as much of the remainder of the law as they could — with the possible exception of the basic reforms that Congress had sought to impose on insurance companies to assure that they provided coverage even for unhealthy persons and to assure that they did not raise premiums unreasonably. If the Court could preserve "half a loaf" rather than taking away the entire loaf, Justice Elena Kagan said, that would be preferable. And Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told Clement that "there are so many things in this Act that are unquestionably okay." So, she said, why make Congress reenact those? Pointedly, she wondered if the Court were being asked to make a choice "between a wrecking operation…or a salvage job."
Clement, though, insisted that if the Court did salvage everything but the mandate and its immediately related provisions, nothing would be left but "a hollow shell." Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., countered that it would not be a hollow shell, since many are things that Congress has put in the law to keep long-standing provisions of federal law intact, and those would have nothing to do with the mandate.
Justice Kennedy pressed Clement to spell out the kind of severability standard he wanted the Court to apply, noting that the Court did not want to be drawn into trying to make an "intrusive" inquiry into what was on Congress's mind in adopting one provision or another as part of the ACA. "What test," Kennedy asked, "do you suggest that we follow if we want to clarify our jurisprudence?" The "objective test" the lawyer suggested was that the Court determine whether the law "can operate in the manner that Congress intended" if a part (like the mandate) were stricken.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor countered that no statute ever operates as Congress had intended, if part of what Congress had put into it is taken out. So she said the test had to be something more than congressional intent. Why not, she asked, start out with the presumption that Congress would have wanted everything but the invalid part to be salvaged. If Congress has not explicitly said that nothing else is to be salvaged, she suggested, the Court should not do away with any other part. "We should let them fix their problem….Why, in a democracy structure like ours," should the Court be drawn into "making the legislative judgment."
These exchanges gave Clement an opportunity to make what he called a broader point. Looking back to a 1976 campaign finance ruling, in which the Court had drawn unusual distinctions between giving and spending, striking down limits only on spending, Clement said that set off four decades of effort by Congress to try to fix what was left of the law, "largely unsuccessfully." That, he said, illustrates why the Court should give Congress a chance "to actually fix the problem" by striking down the entire law and thus set the stage for the lawmakers to start all over on health care.
The Justices, though, did not seem to be seeing in Clement's argument for sweeping it all aside an answer to the judicial dilemma. "What do your propose that we do," Justice Stephen G. Breyer asked, "other than spend a year reading all this…" Breyer seemed to be assuming that the Court would not strike down everything else, as Clement wanted, but follow a more selective path. Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., also pressed Clement for a "fallback position" if the Court were not to strike down the remainder of the ACA. He slightly modified his view, saying that the Court could use its own judgment, but he wound up again arguing that the best route would be to wipe the slate clean, and let Congress respond.
Deputy Solicitor General Kneedler ran into immediate difficulty as he opened his argument with the point that the Court should not even address severability. But that led the Justices into a series of questions about how anybody feeling wronged by something in the law would go about challenging it in court. Kneedler responded that, just because no one might be able to sue, there was no obligation to give them that chance. Justice Ginsburg chimed in to repeat her comment that it should not be for the courts to sort out what happened, but that should be left to Congress.
Justice Scalia also argued in favor of leaving it to Congress, but he made it clear he was talking about doing so only after the entire Act had been voided along with the mandate. Justice Kennedy seemed to agree, by arguing that the Court would be seen as exercising judicial activism, not restraint, if it allowed some part of the law to remain intact but that wholly changed what Congress had intended to happen in the health insurance industry.
When Kneedler insisted that the Court look closely at the text of the ACA and decide what to keep and what to save, several Justices rebelled, suggesting that that would be an irksome and very difficult and time-consuming process. "We are going to go through this enormous bill, item by item, and decide each one?" Justice Scalia asked incredulously. "Is this not totally unrealistic?" It would be a revolution in the Court's severability approach to have to do that, Justice Kagan added.
Justice Breyer offered an un-judicial approach, in which Kneedler and Clement would get together and work out between them what parts of the law to save and what to have cast aside.
Near the end of his argument, Kneedler moved to a broader argument, discussing some of the consequences of a decision to nullify all of the Act, including throwing millions of people who had newly obtained insurance off of the rolls. Many changes in the Medicare program for the elderly also have gone into effect, he added. But the Chief Justice interrupted to say that all of that occurred on the assumption that the mandate was constitutional, and those developments would not keep the Court from making its own decision about the mandate and the consequences of nullifying it.
The final argument on severability, by Court[-appointed Washington lawyer H. Bartow Farr III, was in favor of salvaging all of the Act if the mandate had to go, disagreeing even with Kneedler's suggestion that two provisions closely related to the mandate would have to go if it did. But that part of the argument seemed to bog down in a dispute over whether the insurance industry would be bankrupt if it lost the mandate as a generator of a huge new pool of premium payers whose money would make the required expansion of insurance coverage work.
Congress, Farr said, had adopted a half-dozen other provisions that would help offset the costs of the expanded coverage, including a system of very generous subsidies to encourage people to obtain insurance even if they were no longer required to do so by a mandate.
It did not appear that Farr had any success in trying to explain away findings by Congress that the mandate was "essential" to make the other changes in the health insurance market work as intended. The definition he offered of the word seemed too exotic for the Court.

Gen Con 2016 was great and I had a blast. This year was the busiest year that I have ever had with three True Dungeon runs, seminars, hobby events, and other craziness. My biggest three highlights for the show were:
- Going in with the rush at the opening of the vendor hall and buying the new Malifaux Crew Box, The Queen Returns for Neverborn.
- Doing the Hirst Arts resin casting class. Short and fast, but I learned so much about resin casting. Both safety tips and product tips.
- Being a part of the Infinity Seminar for what's new that was done on Saturday and then walking away with a model for free. I had no idea how cool the seminar would be and actually walked out of their pumped about my PanOceania troops (which then got me to buy more models…..hmmmm…I see what they did there!!! Hahaha)
So we'll be talking about this on the show I am sure, but in the mean time here are a ton of really quality pictures to tie you over!!!

First and fourth ingredients are named meat products, good amount of meat in the food, good quality ingredients throughout
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product. There is a second meat ingredient fourth on the ingredient list, but this is meat inclusive of water content (about 80%) and once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight and would be more accurately placed somewhat further down the ingredient list (ingredients are listed in order of weight). It is thus unlikely to be a significant contributor to the overall meat content of the food. As there are only two ingredients ahead of the fat content (itself around 20%), and the meat ingredient is the greater of these two components, we can have a reasonable amount of confidence that the product contains a good amount of meat irrespective that it is a single ingredient.
We note that fat is the third ingredient in this food and that research at Purdue University has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
This is an entirely grainless dog food. The major carbohydrate source is potatoes, which are a good source of vegetable protein. The food contains whole eggs, a good range of probiotics and fruits/vegetable ingredients.
This food is excellent in containing no grains. Grains are not a natural part of a canine diet and it is pleasing to see dog foods on the market that exclude grains completely from the diet. This is a more natural food concept and combined with high meat content and a complete lack of any low quality or controversial ingredients is the reason this food is placed in a class above the more conventional form dry dog foods.
The only caution we would make on this food is that the high protein content may make it suitable for adult dogs only, particularly in the case of large breeds.

Forget about the bond bloodbath in 1994. This is shaping up to be the worst year in history for bond funds.
Investors have pulled out $72 billion from bond mutual funds this year through the first week of December, according to data from TrimTabs.
This is the first time in nearly a decade that investors have taken more money out bond funds than they've put in -- and it tops the previous record from 1994 when investors withdrew almost $63 billion. That year, the 10-year Treasury yield rose from just under 6% to over 8%. (Bond yields rise when investors are selling bonds and pushing prices lower.)
Rising interest rates have also been the catalyst for the rush out of bonds this year.
"The 'taper talk' that started in May proved to be a huge inflection point for the credit markets," said CEO of TrimTabs David Santschi, referring to Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke's hints that the central bank could begin to scale back, or taper, its $85 billion a month in bond purchases.
Related: Tapering or tap dancing?
The Fed began the first of three massive bond buying programs at the end of 2008 in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The goal of this quantitative easing was to keep long-term interest rates low, and in turn, stimulate the economy and the stock market.
But ever since Bernanke mentioned the possibility of tapering, bond investors have been spooked. The 10-year Treasury yield rose from 1.6% May to almost 3% by September, when economists and investors initially expected the Fed to take action. In fact, investors had continued to plow money into bonds up until May. The outflows have all occurred in the final seven months of the year.
When the Fed chose not to taper, the 10-year Treasury yield fell back to around 2.5% by October. But rates have crept higher again as taper talk has resumed. The 10-year currently is yielding around 2.88%.
"The reaction to the prospect of 'tapering' among retail investors has been pretty violent even though the Fed hasn't made any changes to its bond buying program," said Santschi. "What will happen when the Fed actually takes action?"
Related: Improving economy: Is it for real?
Citing the recent strength in the economy, particularly the job market, some experts think there's a chance the Fed could announce plans to begin tapering at its next policy meeting on December 18. But most anticipate the central bank will wait to pull the trigger until early next year, after Bernanke's term is up and Janet Yellen assumes the role as Fed chair.
Bond investors aren't the only ones getting hurt by the tapering fears. Big investment firms with a focus on the bond market have suffered too -- especially Pimco and its "bond king" Bill Gross.
His Pimco Total Return fund (PTTRX), which is down 1.6% in value this year (see correction below), has lost nearly $37 billion of its assets this year. That's the most among bond funds according to Morningstar.
The second biggest loser, Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities fund (VIPSX), has lost almost $14 billion in assets.
Earlier this year, Pimco Total Return lost its title as biggest mutual fund in the world to the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VITSX), which now boasts nearly $300 billion in assets.
But Gross isn't the only bond guru having a tough time.
Rival bond fund manager Jeffrey Gundlach's DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund (DBLTX) has lost nearly $4 billion this year.
But while bond mutual funds have been bleeding assets, bond exchange traded funds have managed to pull in $6 billion. Still, that's the weakest level of inflows since 2007, when ETFs, and bond ETFs in particular, were still in their infancy.
Correction: An earlier version incorrectly stated the change in Pimco Total Return's Net Asset Value as its year-to-date return.

One of the highlights of working at Myth and Symbol has to be meeting creative people and getting to share their beautiful work with others. When I bought a bowl last year from an event at the craft center, I knew I had to track down whoever made it. By coincidence, Angel happened to come by the shop before I could contact her down and everything came together from there. Soon after, I got to know Anne, her best friend and another local talent. So we brainstormed a little bit and next Saturday, they'll be at the store with all their goods. If you are around, please come visit before I buy everything!

I wanted to give all of my fans something extra
because this album was so special to me
and it came so effortlessly.
after I finished the film of my life dream girls
because I was so inspired by Deena
I wrote songs that were saying all the things
that I wish she would have said in the film.
and I wanted to give you an extra special song
that Dina sings it's a pivotal moment when Dina finally does,
get the strength to stand up for herself and does,
know who she is and knows what she wants.
Im sure all of you women can relate to the lyrics.
This is, listen.

Foreword: Token economy is a part of blockchain technology, and tokens play an important role in the token economy. The current token economy will bestow value on token, so the blockchain technology must first land in the financial field.
CE will launch with glory, and it will burst with great value based on solving industry pain points.
Circular Economy, the first one-stop platform for decentralized circular economy supported by the Ethereum network, will be officially launched on November 7, 2020. The purpose is to solve the disadvantages and pain points of the current traditional centralized finance. As we all know that the traditional centralized financial institutions have gathered a large amount of social wealth and social resources, but at the same time, it has very serious drawbacks.
1. The centralized structure occupies a large amount of social trust, but its internal operations and decision-making are very opaque.
2. The centralized giant company monopolize oligarch dividends, and it is difficult for the public to participate in the development dividends of inclusive finance.
3. The centralized financial institutions have redundant processes and high operating costs.
The original intention of CE is to establish a set of scientific and secure decentralized financial inclusive smart contracts, allowing users to get the monopoly dividends originally occupied by centralized institutions. At the same time, the organization is operated by a third-party smart contract with open sources. So users can safely deposit assets to smart contracts for management.
CECOIN-Ecological Token of CE
In the CE ecosystem, tokens play a very important role. As an important link to maintain the operation of the CE ecosystem, CECOIN is a guarantee for the formation of a closed loop of the large ecosystem, carrying the important role of value circulation, purchasing services, obtaining returns, and encouraging interaction. It can be used in a variety of scenarios under the CE ecosystem. At the same time, the combination of CECOIN and CE shows the innovative highlights of CE:
- Catering to the trend of DEFI, the financial protocol built on Ethereum has a more systematic and secure basic carrier than TRON. Currently, Ethereum is the world's largest ecological blockchain project, which can eliminate the hidden dangers of centralization and realizing the true decentralization autonomy.
2. It is the first time to combine financial experiments with governance tokens, so that participants can obtain CECOIN tokens for free and enjoy excess financial benefits while enjoying CE benefits.
CE is a circular economy protocol built on the Etherum network, aiming to allow global participants to have a fantastic experience of inclusive finance under the blockchain revolution with blockchain smart contracts. CE has established a set of scientific and secure inclusive financial participation protocol through blockchain Distributed Ledger Technology. Users can participate in the benefits of CE in the layout of economic cycle system under the security guarantee of blockchain technology. Due to the immutability and transparency of blockchain technology, users' assets will be fully delivered, managed and distributed by smart contracts, and can be deposit or withdrawn at any time. No one (even the CE founding team) can tamper with and take away the assets of users on the blockchain. CE really enables the public to participate in global Inclusive Finance simply and safely.
In addition, circular economy has a clear business planning layout, and will create a one-stop platform for Defi business such as decentralized lending, asset on chain and DEX!
Conclusion: For the CE ecology, this is just the beginning. As it continues to evolve, more and more partners will participate in the CE ecology, such as traditional industries, authoritative institutions, etc., which will continue to add more values on CE and CECOIN. Although its development is still in an early stage, there is still a huge space of CE and CECOIN for value growth. CE is supported by technology. When it is about to go online, it has attracted close attention in the market, which is enough to show that CE is bound to burst into great value in the near future!

My last two posts summarized the underpinnings of Shulman's pedagogical content knowledge and Deborah Ball's early work building upon and extending Shulman's theories. Now we jump from Ball's 1988 article to one she co-authored in 2008 with University of Michigan colleagues Mark Thames and Geoffrey Phelps, titled Content Knowledge for Teaching: What Makes It Special?
This article starts by looking at the 20+ years we've had to further develop Shulman's theories of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Despite the theory's widespread use, Ball and colleagues claim it "has lacked definition and empirical foundation, limiting its usefulness" (p. 389). (See also Bud Talbot's 2010 blog post and related efforts.) In fact, the authors found that a third of the more than 1200 articles citing Shulman's PCK
do so without direct attention to a specific content area, instead making general claims about teacher knowledge, teacher education, or policy. Scholars have used the concept of pedagogical content knowledge as though its theoretical founcations, conceptual distinctions, and empirical testing were already well defined and universally understood. (p. 394)
To build the empirical foundation that PCK needs, Ball and her research team did a careful qualitative analysis of data that documented an entire year of teaching (including video, student work, lesson plans, notes, and reflections) for several third grade teachers. Combined with their own expertise and experience, and other tools for examining mathematical and pedagogical perspectives, the authors set out to bolster PCK from the ground up:
Hence, we decided to focus on the work of teaching. What do teachers need to do in teaching mathematics -- by virtue of being responsible for the teaching and learning of content -- and how does this work demand mathematical reasoning, insight, understanding, and skill? Instead of starting with the curriculum, or with standards for student learning, we study the work that teaching entails. In other words, although we examine particular teachers and students at given moments in time, our focus is on what this actual instruction suggests for a detailed job description. (p. 395)
For Ball et al., this includes everything from lesson planning, grading, communicating with parents, and dealing with administration. With all this information, the authors are able to sharpen Shulman's PCK into more clearly defined (and in some cases, new) "Domains of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching." Under subject matter knowledge, the authors identify three domains:
- Common content knowledge (CCK)
- Specialized content knowledge (SCK)
- Horizon content knowledge
And under pedagogical content knowledge, the authors identify three more domains:
- Knowledge of content and students (KCS)
- Knowledge of content and teaching (KCT)
- Knowledge of content and curriculum
Ball describes each domain and uses some examples to illustrate, mostly from arithmetic. For my explanation, I'll instead use something from high school algebra and describe how each domain applied to my growth of knowledge over my teaching career.
Common Content Knowledge (CCK)
Ball et al. describe CCK as the subject-specific knowledge needed to solve mathematics problems. The reason it's called "common" is because this knowledge is not specific to teaching -- non-teachers are likely to have it and use it. Obviously, this knowledge is critical for a teacher, because it's awfully difficult and inefficient to try to teach what you don't know yourself. As an example of CCK, my knowledge includes the understanding that \((x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2\). I've known this since high school, and I would have known it whether or not I became a math teacher.Specialized Content Knowledge (SCK)
SCK is described by Ball et al. as "mathematical knowledge and skill unique to teaching" (p. 400). Not only do teachers need this knowledge to teach effectively, but it's probably not needed for any other purpose. For my example, I need to have a specialized understanding of how \((x+y)^2\) can be expanded using FOIL or modeled geometricaly with a square. It may not be all that important for students to understand both the algebraic and geometric ways of representing this problem, but I need to know both so I can better understand student strategies and sources of error. Namely, the error that \((x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2\).Horizon Content Knowledge
This domain was provisionally included by the authors and described as, "an awareness of how mathematical topics are related over the span of mathematics included in the curriculum" (p. 403). For my example of \((x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2\), I need to understand how previous topics like order of operations, exponents, and the distributive property relate to this problem. Looking forward, I need to understand how this problem relates to factoring polynomials and working with rational expressions.Knowledge of Content and Students (KCS)
This is "knowledge that combines knowing about students and knowing about mathematics" (p. 401) and helps teachers predict student thinking. KCS is what allows me to expect students to incorrectly think \((x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2\), and to tie that to misconceptions about the distributive property and exponents. I'm not sure I had this knowledge for this example when I started teaching, but it didn't take me long to figure out that it was a very common student mistake.Knowledge of Content and Teaching (KCT)
Ball et al. say KCT "combines knowing about teaching and knowing about mathematics" (p. 401). While KCS gave me insight about why students mistakingly think \((x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2\), KCT is the knowledge that allows me to decide what to do about it. For me, this meant choosing a geometric representation for instruction over using FOIL, which lacks the geometric representation and does little to address the problem if students never recognize that \((x + y)^2 = (x + y)(x + y)\).Knowledge of Content and Curriculum
For some reason, Ball et al. include this domain in a figure in their paper but never describe it explicitly. They do, however, scatter enough comments about knowledge of content and curriculum to imply that teachers need a knowledge of the available materials they can use to support student learning. For my example, I know that CPM uses a geometric model for multiplying binomials, Algebra Tiles/Models can be used to support that model, virtual tiles are available at the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM), and the Freudenthal Institute has an applet that allows students to interact with different combinations of constants and variables when multiplying polynomials.Some of the above can be hard to distinguish, but thankfully Ball and colleagues clarify by saying:
In other words, recognizing a wrong answer is common content knowledge (CCK), whereas sizing up the nature of an error, especially an unfamiliar error, typically requires nimbleness in thinking about numbers, attention to patterns, and flexible thinking about meaning in ways that are distinctive of specialized content knowledge (SCK). In contrast, familiarity with common errors and deciding which of several errors students are most likely to make are examples of knowledge of content and students (KCS). (p. 401)
In their conclusion, the authors hope that this theory can better fill the gap that teachers know is important, but isn't purely about content and isn't purely about teaching. We can hope to better understand how each type of knowledge above impacts student achievement, and optimize our teacher preparation programs to reflect that understanding. Furthermore, that understanding could be used to create new and improved teaching materials and professional development, and better understand what it takes to be an effective teacher. With this in mind, you can gain some insight to what Ball was thinking when she gave this congressional testimony:

[ NOTE: this is my beta preview. I also have a release post on playing the Barbarian 1-60 and a separate one on the Barbarian in Inferno Mode. ]
Finally, the Diablo 3 beta invite showed up in my mailbox. Unfortunately, by the time I got it downloaded and installed I was headed to Vegas for the weekend (which wasn't so bad, really). But as soon as I returned, I fired it up, rolled a toon, and cranked through the 1.5-2 hours it took to defeat the Skeleton King and "finish" the beta. Then I rolled another class. Then another and another until I'd played them all.
General Impressions
Not surprisingly, for a Blizzard game, and one that is only a month from launch, the game looks "finished" and is seemingly bug free. I didn't have any problems. I didn't try any multiplayer but I'm looking forward to it in the release.
Graphics wise, D3 is kinda dark, which wasn't a problem playing at night, but during the sunny hours it was hard to see a lot of detail. I play on a Mac Pro with an Apple 30″ monitor. At full 2500×1600 resolution the game ran fine (I have a ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB). There was occasional slight slowdown as new textures paged in (I think that's what it was because it wasn't during big fights but moving into new areas).
The art is fantastic and everything is modeled in detailed 3D, yet the classic three-quarters pulled back viewpoint limits the options for dynamic camerawork or even the simple ability to show enemies at any real scale. Overall, this substantially reduces the visual drama in favor of more approachable gameplay.
But in that regard, Blizzard does it's usual slick job of babying you into the game. This is in complete contrast to a hardcore RPG like Dark Souls, which does no coddling. Here, you start each class with just one skill, gaining them incrementally as you level. The early quests are easy and straightforward. By the time you get into the depths of the cathedral and to level six or so, the real flavor of the class starts to emerge.
The overall gameplay is, as one of my friends said, like the Diablo II you remember, not as it actually was. If you boot up the aforementioned classic you'll find a 2D game that runs in 800×600 (and that only with the expansion pack installed!). Sure the gameplay is slick, but the late 90s graphics are very dated. The new Diablo brings the same basic experience but updated to perhaps 2007 level technology. And really, it's that great gameplay that matters.
The Barbarian
I'm normally drawn toward dark wizards, and so in D2 I mostly played a Necromancer. In D3, that niche is filled by the Witchdoctor, but neither the pet based nature or the class style really appealed. I decided to try out the Barbarian. Big and plate wearing, this is a very straightforward class. The few skill choices available in the first nine or so levels basically seemed to oscillate between heavy hitting on a single target and non-quite-so heavy hitting on multiple targets. I haven't studied the skill system in detail but it seems to have been simplified, moving away from the elaborate talent trees. Each skill can be powered up or tweaked with runes, and there are several completely distinct skill slots (primary, secondary, defensive, etc) that you can swap in and out skills that belong exclusively in their particular category. For the Barbarian, the primary is a fury generating basic attack and the secondary a harder hitting fury sink.
Progression with the Barbarian was a piece of cake. In the limited scope of the beta I barely even had to chug a health potion, perhaps once. I didn't die at all. Even the Skeleton King was pretty easy. The attacks definitely got more satisfying as they leveled up, but some felt lackluster like the bleed-causing whirlwind. Maybe it gets cooler later. Maybe they aren't done with it.
Still, all and all a very fun class to play.
For my discussion of leveling 1-60 in the final version, see here.
The Wizard
Next I tried out the wizard. This is the ranged magical damage dealer. Overall, this class is much squishier than the Barbarian and I died in one spot (right on returning to the Cathedral where there are three big sub-bosses). You have to watch your health and make sure to kite, mostly using the freeze ray or the frost nova to slow down the badies. I liked the feel of the freeze ray, it's pretty fun. If you tune the skills toward the electrical discharges and the spark-like exploding fireball the wizard can do some serious AOE damage. On one middling outside area I collected a rather large collection of undead and then obliterated them in a big firefight (earning a 60 enemies killed at once achievement). I think there is more pure DPS output here than with the melee classes — in exchange for being fragile.
You have to pay more attention to your resources than the Barbarian. The defensive skill (on the 1 key) is crucial. With the Barbarian it was a sweetener, here, it's key to getting out of the middle of a big cluster of foes (or blasting them down quick if you are using Crystal Armor). Although harder, it was a fun class to play and I'll be torn what to try first in the release version.
Third up I tried the Monk. Squishier than the Barbarian for sure, but fairly similar in that you get right in the thick of thinks and wallop. At the earlier levels the different skills didn't seem as differentiated. Theoretically the Barbarian would be slower and the Monk more nimble, but the Barb is plenty fast, so I'm not sure I yet see a compelling advantage. The teleport TO an enemy rune is kinda cool though.
At about level 7 or 8 things power up a bit and the excitement level rises. The spinning circle of fire and triple punch are real nice. Overall this was an easy class too. I didn't die and pretty much never needed a health pot.
Witch Doctor
A few days after finishing the monk I felt it was my duty as a Necromancer player and diehard WOW Warlock to try the Witch Doctor. It was immediately obvious that this was a seriously squishy class, even more so than the Wizard. It's harder to kite with too. A lot of the early skills are pets of one sort or another and you have to toss them out there and run. This is true of the spiders and bats. I really didn't like trading the snaring hands for the bats and quickly went back to it. The spiders were okay though. Like the other classes, by the time I got to level 8 or so he was getting fairly powerful. The dogs were fun. The runed version of the grasping hands was a really solid snare and the machine gun blow gun too. Fun to play, but despite the cool theme, I think the Wizard was more straightforward as a ranged caster.
Demon Hunter
This is the last class I played and thematically the least interesting. The Hunter in WOW never held any interest whatsoever for me and it's the only class I've never rolled. But the D3 Demon Hunter turned out to be pretty fun. Its long range and rapid fire is satisfying and I put an epic? (yellow) bow I got from another tune to good use right from the beginning. The problem with this class, like the Witch Doctor and Wizard, is that it's very squishy. But even more than those other two it becomes problematic when you get mobbed by mobs. The Demon Hunter can go down fast. Now, even given that, I only died on the Skeleton King, but it was the only class where the boss gave me some trouble. Once I learned to kite and stun him and run back and forth for the health balls it was okay, but still harder and slower than the other classes. Up until that point I often felt I was really kicking ass with the DH, but the problem seemed to stem from the classes' lack of AOE. I ended up having to use the "trap" as my slowing and AOE device, laying them down (up to five) in advance. I didn't like the invisible skill very much. The Wizard, while also a ranged squishy, has much better AOE (at least at these early levels).
I enjoy the gearing up minigame in Diablo, always have. My only complaint is the still present need to manage your inventory. It's not as bad as in D2 where one spent a ridiculous amount of time combing the trash from your inventory and leaving it on the dungeon floor, but you still have to do this. The more readily available town portal(s) makes flipping back to sell your crap much easier.
I also don't exactly get what gear you really want for each class. Classes can use a large percentage of the items, which I guess is a good thing, but it's hard to know if a 15.5 dagger is better for a Wizard than a 12.0 wand.
I spent about an hour playing the last two dungeons and the Skeleton King with a pickup group of one other person. This does not represent any exhaustive survey of D3's four player coop mode. Overall, it was fun, and slightly easier. It was also slower as one often had to wait on the other person. That player clearly hadn't run through the whole beta four times already and didn't know exactly where to go like I did :-). I'm assuming multiplayer is the most fun with a good or pre-made four man group. I was playing my monk (repeating the dungeons and she was level 9-11) and they were playing a Demon Hunter about two levels lower. There is no increased loot or particular advantage to playing multiplayer, either. There should be. It's also not very competitive anymore because everyone has their own loot and there is no PVP (that's in a separate non PVE mode like the WOW arenas).
The consistent naming and art elements in Blizzard style are an amusing note. While Diablo is darker and more gothic than WOW there are quite a number of common enemy archetypes. The grotesques (abominations in WOW) are one example. These are a distinctly Blizzard baddie. Many of the spell names (and even the class archetypes) are overlapping. The Demon Hunter fires arrows and drops traps and bombs like the Hunter. The Wizard is like a WOW Mage, even down to having a Frost Nova with nearly identical effect. There was even a skeletal sub-boss with the same name as a Scholo boss.
I can't wait for May 15. In the meantime, watch the Wrath animated short.
