No experience is required for our kayak tours! Our adventures are for everyone who is 10 years and older.
All of our trips will begin with a briefing that will give you all necessary skills and information that you will require to participate safely in our adventures.
For our tours you should pack the following items:
Clothing: We generally recommend synthetic fabrics over cotton and other natural fibres simply because they tend to dry faster and don't get as water-logged.
Remember that we're are spending about one hour on a fast moving boat so make sure you can keep warm. Rather bring an extra layer, we can keep extra gear on the boat while we are in the kayaks.
Soft-shells and windbreakers are valuable pieces of clothing as well.
Shoes: Because we are usually not getting on land no special requirements regarding your footwear. Any light shoes, water-shoes will do the job. For tall individuals or for the ones with larger feet we recommend neoprene socks that will improve the level of comfort inside our double kayaks.
Snacks/ Beverages: Bringing snacks is a great idea as well as to bring enough to drink. You can enjoy them during our boat commute as well as a granola bar or some chocolate make a great addition on the kayak excursion. Please note that alcoholic beverages are not permitted on our tours.
Other useful pieces of gear are
Sunglasses, Sunscreen, a hat or cap
We will meet at Tofino's 'First Street Dock' about 10 minutes before the departure. Our boat will be parked on one of the fingers either to the right or to the left at the end of the dock. If in doubt, just look for the only boat with four kayaks strapped to the roof.
Our weather in the Pacific Northwest is always good for surprises but generally pleasant from May through until the end of September.
The best defence against poor weather is excellent preparation.. Therefore make sure to carry a light rain jacket and multiple layers of synthetic clothing in case of cold weather - also you can keep everything in your kayak and only put it on when necessary.
If the weather looks questionable to the point where it could have an impact on safety we will cancel the tour and give you a full refund.
Well, wildlife is fairly unreliable whenever we try to come up with appointments. However, Vancouver Island and Clayoquot Sound have a lot to offer and encounters with some of the most exciting mammals and marine life are very common on our kayak tours.
Without trying to come up with a complete summary of species, encounters with our favourites, the always curious Harbour Seal are almost hard to prevent.
Especially over spring and summer we get lots of Bald Eagles while they tend to move to the rivers in fall, when the Salmon season starts! Besides these majestic birds we are welcoming more than 200 000 shorebirds every season. Among them are Cormorants, Pidgin Guillemot, lazy Herons, hovering Kingfishers, Sandpipers and many more amazing birds.
Beginning October to April, when Tofino gets a bit quieter, our California Sea Lions which usually hang out on the offshore rocks come closer to Tofino again. During these months you might even meet them while taking a sunbath on our dock but generally sightings can happen all year over...and they are always very cool!
The same applies to our River Otters who love the fishery leftovers that get thrown back in the water. This way you might see them cuddling on the docks or playing on the shores of the various islands we explore on our kayaking adventures.
Sometimes we see Porpoises, our 'Westcoast Dolphins' or very rarely even some Orcas (3 times in 2010) might decide to explore the inlet and provide us with unforgettable moments.
On top of that you see various types of Sea Stars, cold water Corals, Sponges, Anemones, Kelp-, Rock- and Dungeness Crab ...etc.
Check out our 'wildlife photo gallery' for more information
At Black Bear Kayak we put a lot of effort in the planning of our tours and we aim to only go out in perfect conditions. This refers e.g. to the time of the day as well as water levels.
Accordingly a tour without any bears is quite unlikely but - of course - can happen. Anyway, we promise to do everything we can to provide you with a black bear sighting but if we're not lucky, we hope for your understanding!
This way or that way, you're going to have an amazing adventure including a remote boat and kayak tour in the most spectacular scenery far away from everybody else.
...is probably one of the most common questions we get on our tours. But no worries, for our mothership tours even though we don't have a bathroom on-board there is never a problem. We can stop at all times and point to something interesting towards to front while you can do your off the boat business at the back. It might sound like an adventure of its own but trust us when we say that in all these years it has never been a problem ;-)
With Black Bear Kayaking we had no prior incidents so far *knock on wood*. However, the possibility always exists.
All guides at Black Bear Kayaking are trained and prepared to handle such unfortunate situations and do their best to ensure an enjoyable and safe kayaking trip.
We will provide all the required gear for participating in our tours e.g. spray-skirts, paddles, PFD's as well as all necessary safety gear. We'll also have some dry-bags for you.
Our mothership 'Das Boot' is a 30ft aluminum cabin boat.
The cabin features a nice and sheltered space as well as you always have access to the viewing platform in the aft with cushioned seating, perfect for viewing as well as a perfect option for taking photos.
Our boat is equipped with two 150hp engines and of course it's registered with Transport Canada and fully insured....
We are going to run our tours until September 15th 2022 and we should be back mid of April 2024 ;-)

It is no secret Everton are facing up to an 'injury crisis' at present.
Everton chief Marco Silva was missing eight players for the visit of Huddersfield Town on Saturday - Idrissa Gana Gueye (knee), Andre Gomes (hamstring), James McCarthy (leg), Bernard (muscle strain), Michael Keane (head), Phil Jagielka (knee) and Yerry Mina (foot) - while Richarlison was suspended.
Silva is hopeful the international break can help ease Everton's growing injury problems, but after signing off with a frustrating draw against the Terriers, the Blues boss will be limited to the amount of work he can do with his players.
Because while the time until the game with West Ham on September 16 will give those injured players chance to recover, the international break also means Finch Farm will be much quieter than usual.
Silva could have has few as SEVEN outfield players to work with until the back end of next week when the international contingent return and injuries begin to clear.
"We will work with the players we have, it is a short number for sure, but we have to work with them," the Everton manager said.
"For sure we will give the players some days to rest but work next week to keep working in our way.

Before getting into commercial real estate, it is important that you know what you are doing. No matter how much you think you know on this subject, it is possible that you are missing something small, or that you were unaware of. Read on to get some insight into commercial real estate investing.
Whether you are buying or selling, don't shy away from negotiation. Protect your interests by standing up for yourself regardless of who is on the other side of the table. Negotiate a fair price rather than accepting one that is too high or too low.
Before you buy or sell a commercial property, find out several key economic indicators for the region, including trends in unemployment and income, as well as major employers in the region. Your house will sell more quickly and at a higher value if it is near a university, hospital or any large employment center.
Use a digital camera to document the conditions. Make certain your photos highlight specific defects such as carpet spots, wall holes and bathroom discolorations.
When deciding between two viable commercial properties, it is best to think on a larger scale. Regardless of whether the property you decide on has twenty units or fifty, the process of obtaining financing will be the same, and in both cases will require substantial effort. By choosing a larger piece of commercial property, you will be getting a better rate per unit, giving you the best potential for success.
Educate yourself about the measurements of NOI: Net Operating Income. In order to be successful, you will have to make sure that you never dip into the negative.
Commercial property has many avenues; therefore, you should never assume you know everything. Maintain a standing assumption that you have room for further education, and apply the advice from this article to build yourself better market positions. Put this advice to work for you, and you will see your investments succeed.

Socialrun Foundation
The Socialrun makes money available annually for projects, that stimulate openness about mental illness and addiction and help reduce prejudice. In 2019, the Socialrun raised 123,000 euros.
This amount has been allocated to new, small-scale initiatives. True or Nonsense (Dutch: Klopt of Kletskoek) is one of them. Read more about the Socialrun and the projects that received a subsidy in 2020 here. #participatingiswinning
PS: Jessica will participate in the Socialrun again this year as an accompanying cyclist.

Jonathan Spaninks
In April 2020 the website of True or Nonsense is given a new look and translated into English. Special thanks to Jonathan Spaninks for his translation work.
Samen Sterk zonder Stigma (Strong Together Against Stigma Foundation)
True or Nonsense started at the end of 2017. At that time the Socialrun was still a project under the Strong Together Against Stigma Foundation. In 2018, the Socialrun continued independently as a Foundation. Since 2018, True or Nonsense has received subsidy to contribute to reducing stigma about people with a psychological vulnerability and/or addiction. I would like to thank the team of Samen Sterk Zonder Stigma for their trust and support.
My friends, family, acquaintances, former colleagues
In all the things I do with MerkVaardig, as an ambassador of the Strong Together Against Stigma Foundation and with the True or Nonsense project, I always feel enormously supported and encouraged by my environment. This touches me, energizes me and keeps me going. Thank you!
* my good friend Erik took the pictures at Maastricht University. Thanx you so much Erik for your support!

Add addition of storage facilities to the home should not be difficult or expensive. You can easily find furniture that not only stays within your budget, but also provides the storage you are looking for and fits in with its surroundings. If you are lucky enough to have a mudroom or laundry room, you could add mudroom benches and cabinets.
The mudroom bench provides a comfortable seating area for you and your family to change shoes and dress up into winter gear. The bench also offers space for luggage under the seat for all the items you want to save. These items could include boots and shoes, other outdoor gear, or even small gardening tools.
For a comfortable seat, you could add cushions for the seat, like most of these benches are carved from hard wood. To further utilize the space within the mudroom or utility room, you could mount mudroom lockers onto the wall. These cabinets are basically cabinets with a kind of the door. Cleaning products could be stored securely within the lockers, preventing children from gaining access to poisonous products.
You can also use the space for linen towels. A highly recommended item that all mudrooms or utility rooms should employ is to have a coat rack. There are free-standing coat racks and coat hooks for the purpose of hanging jackets and umbrellas storage. The wall mounted coat rack takes up less room and can provide space for a number of coats.
The advantage of a free-standing version is that you use for an umbrella stand and.
The umbrellas normally fit into the middle of the stand and at the base there is usually a drip tray for the water. This keeps the floor free of water drips from a wet umbrella.
The free standing coat rack can also be used in other areas of the home, such as near the entrance way.

An MP has demanded answers from the Government about efforts to tackle dangerous laser pen attacks at Leeds-Bradford Airport as figures reveal high numbers of incidents are continuing.
In 2010, there were almost 100 incidents involving planes taking off and landing and some pilots being dazzled and distracted by the lasers near the Yeadon airport, and figures are set to be similar for 2011 with 80 laser pen attacks recorded up to the beginning of November.
The number of incidents has remained at almost two a week since 2009 when there were only 39 recorded incidents and Leeds North West MP Greg Mulholland said he was concerned about the lack of progress in reducing attacks at the Yeadon airport.
"The news that the number of laser pen attacks on flights to and from LBA has remained static for the second year is concerning," Mr Mulholland said.
"I received assurances from Theresa Villiers MP earlier in the year that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is doing all it can to prevent attacks at Leeds-Bradford Airport, including the setting up of a working group on the issue.
"I will therefore be writing again to Theresa Villiers, highlighting the fact that figures have remained the same at Leeds-Bradford Airport and asking what further the department will be doing to tackle the problem and if they will come forward with a plan to address the issue.
"As I have said, a blanket ban on laser pointers is not the way forward because of the effect it would have on legitimate users.
"Something does, however, need to be done to address this serious ongoing issue."
A spokesman for the CAA said the problems at Leed-Bradford Airport were reflected across the country and hit out at the people who were shining the laser pens.
"Nationally we are not yet seeing any let-up in laser attacks on aircraft," he said.
"The people who are carrying out these attacks are either still ignorant of the dangers high-powered lasers present to the safe operation of an aircraft, or they simply do not care.
"Ultimately, pointing a laser at an aeroplane or helicopter at any time could result in the pilot losing control of the aircraft, endangering the lives of all onboard and also people on the ground.
"We urge members of the public to report all sightings of green lasers, particularly in the vicinity of an airport, to the police immediately."
West Yorkshire Police said the force "will continue to take firm action" against anyone caught directing a laser pen at aircraft and a spokesman for the airport said it "continues to be aware of this issue and report as required" to the police and CAA.

The owner of a company proposing a much-contested water bottling plant in Creston in the Flathead Valley won't be compelled to testify before the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.
A September 19 hearing on Lew Weaver's proposed plant saw hours of testimony, but not from Weaver, who was suffering health problems at the time. The hearing record was kept open, however, pending his ability to testify. Yesterday the DNRC's hearing examiner ordered that the record would be closed without Weaver's testimony.
Two years ago Weaver's company applied for a permit to draw up to 710 acre-feet of water a year, which the DNRC preliminarily approved. Neighbors and others in the valley objected, concerned that the permit was for several times larger than the plant Weaver has said he wants to open. Weaver's supporters say that he is facing undue resistance and has followed all requirements in his application process.
Proponents and opponents have until the end of this month to file their closing briefs. After that the DNRC has 90 days in which to issue a final determination on the permit.

Know the Mistakes to Avoid, so Your Wedding Day is Smooth Sailing
The wedding catering for your big day, plays an important role in celebrating your life with your new husband. It's a representative of your tastes and enjoying the catering is a time to sit down with loved ones and re-energise after the stressful exchanging of vows.
Read more
This is why your wedding catering needs to be on point and planned with precision. To help you get the best event catering for your big day, without a hitch, let's take a look at the mistakes you need to avoid.
Going Over Your Budget
It may be tempting to add in those super expensive deserts, or go for the out of your budget champagne as it's your big day, but when the dust settles after the whirlwind of the wedding, you'll wish you'd been a little more conservative with the purse strings. Staying within your budget, even if that's small doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality. Your wedding caterer will be able to work with you, to get the style and taste of menu you love, while staying within your means.
Read more
Getting Hit With Extra Charges at the End
Make sure you're aware of your wedding catering charges as a whole, before you commit to anything. Ask about any hidden charges and these could be; charges for glass breakages and wear, serving staff, extra charges for holidays/weekends and any extra charges for different dietary needs. Be upfront with your wedding caterer and ask for a full roundup of costs/extras and they should be only too happy to oblige.
Not Having Enough Food
The wedding day can be a long one, especially for young guests and as there will be plenty of drinks being poured. There might be long gaps between the ceremony and photos, then there might be speeches. A good idea is to serve canapés, to keep rumbling bellies and grizzly children happy and of course it'll soak up the flowing champagne!
Serving the Wrong Style of Menu
You might want to push the boat out and serve a lavish five course meal, but if your guest list is pushing 100, you have to think of the time this will take. Large wedding catering ideas are to have a more buffet style event, where guests can help themselves and staff just keep the treats stocked up. It doesn't have
to be boring – you could have themed stations like Mexican fajitas, cheese and meat and a range of other grazing tables to fit in with your style.
Not Finding out Specific Venue Regulations on Catering
Each venue will have its own set of rules regarding bringing event caterers into their space. It's best to find this out early, so you don't have to run around changing things at the last minute. Regulations can vary from venue to venue but some will include; fees charged, usage of cutlery and furniture, set-up/clean-up crew, timeframe allowed to serve alcohol and guest capacity. It's best to talk with your preferred venue and get a rundown of their rules ahead of time.

By Jonathan Swan
Tony Abbott's top business adviser has again caused controversy with comments about the ''delusion'' of global warming and an assertion that climate change policy has destroyed Australia's manufacturing sector and competitiveness.
In an opinion piece in The Australian newspaper, Maurice Newman, the Prime Minister's pick as head of his Business Advisory Council, claimed high energy costs caused by the carbon tax and the renewable energy target, introduced by the Howard government, had eroded Australia's competitiveness. Under Labor and the Greens, Australia had been taken ''hostage'' by ''climate change madness'', Mr Newman wrote.
Labor said Mr Abbott should order his business adviser to withdraw the ''ignorant comments'' that had the potential to ''damage Australia's relationship with its trading partners''.
''These extraordinary comments from one of Tony Abbott's closest advisers prove the Coalition is not serious about taking action on climate change and does not accept the overwhelming evidence of a changing climate,'' said the opposition's acting environment spokesman, Shayne Neumann.
Mr Abbott, who was on his last day of leave on New Year's Eve, has not responded to Mr Newman's comments. Neither has acting Prime Minister Warren Truss.
Climate Council chief Tim Flannery said he could make little sense of Mr Newman's opinion piece, which appeared ''at best'' to be a selective reading of the data.
He accused Mr Newman of being driven by a ''denialist ideology'' and of distorting the facts about global warming.
''Professor Newman's gouty festive season ramblings might easily be forgiven as the product of an extra glass or two of port,'' Professor Flannery said.
''But, as they come from the Prime Minister's chief business adviser, they need to be taken seriously.''
In the opinion piece, Mr Newman wrote: ''Climate change madness … has been a major factor in the decimation of our manufacturing industry.
''It is the unprecedented cost of energy, driven by the Renewable Energy Target and carbon tax, which, at the margin, has destroyed our competitiveness.''
Mr Newman added that he believed ''the scientific delusion, the religion behind the climate crusade, [was] crumbling''.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change resorted to ''dishonesty and deceit'' and was ''intent on exploiting the masses and extracting more money'', Mr Newman wrote.
Mr Newman is a former chairman of the ABC and the Australian Securities Exchange. Since being appointed as Mr Abbott's chief business adviser, he has provoked controversy with his public statements.
In November, comments by Mr Newman brought the contentious Howard government industrial relations policy of WorkChoices back to the headlines, despite repeated assurances from Mr Abbott that the policy was ''dead, buried and cremated''.

Deciding to sell is never an easy process, consider these factors to help determine if this summer is right for you.
- Buyer demand continues to outpace the supply of homes for sale. This means that buyers are often competing with one another for the few listings that are available.
- Replacement costs may never be lower. Interest rates remain low now, but are forecasted to increase over time.
- Housing inventory is still under the 6-month supply needed to sustain a normal housing market. This means there is less competition for your house on the market.
- Now may be the time for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire. Personal motivation to move may vary, but it's always meaningful. We're here to help with these big life transitions!
Interested in selling, but want to skip the hassle of listing?

🏌♂ Jayhawks Back in Action in South Carolina
Tournament: Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate
Course: Bulls Bay Golf Club
Par/Yards: 72/7,220
Participating teams: Auburn, College of Charleston, Duke, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Kent State, Louisiana Tech, Marquette, Missouri, NC State, Purdue, South Carolina, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wichita State
Live Stats: BirdieFire
BULLS BAY, S.C. – The Kansas Men's Golf program returns to action for the second time in March on Sunday when the Jayhawks open play at the three-day Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate.
The Jayhawks will play 18 holes a day, teeing off first Sunday morning. Kansas is a part of a competitive 16-team field for the tournament and will be joined by Duke, Iowa State, Kentucky, Missouri, NC State, Purdue, South Carolina, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Auburn, College of Charleston, Kent State, Marquette, Louisiana Tech and Wichita State.
Coach Jamie Bermel's squad will go with the same lineup that got the Jayhawks a sixth-place finish at the Lamkin San Diego Classic earlier this month. Representing Kansas will be Harry Hillier, Luke Kluver, Ben Sigel, William Duquette and Zach Sokolosky. Davis Cooper will join the Jayhawks on the trip and play as an individual.
"We're excited to be playing again," Bermel said. "We've had a couple guys taking care of some health issues, but we are here and ready to go."
Duquette is coming off his best showing as a collegiate golfer in San Diego. He shot a final round 70 to tie for sixth place, marking his best finish as a Jayhawk. He finished -1 for the tournament. Kluver also had a strong showing in San Diego, securing his second-straight top-10 finish, tying for eighth at even-par.
Following their appearance at the Hootie at Bulls Bay, the Jayhawks will play two more regular season tournaments in April – the Aggie Invitational in Bryan, Texas and the Great River Entertainment Intercollegiate in Iowa City, Iowa – before turning their attention to the Big 12 Championships at the end of April.

CARROLL GARDENS — For Brooklyn mom Erin Kelly, her then 4-year-old daughter's infatuation with Cinderella was getting a bit tiresome.
Playing the role of "Cinderella," her daughter Lydia would get on the floor and pretend to clean while Kelly took on the part of the "Evil Step-Mother."
Fed up with this game, Kelly decided to introduce a new princess into Lydia's life.
Enter Cleopatra.
Kelly started to tell her daughter about the iconic ruler of ancient Egypt, known for her intelligence and gift for pageantry. Lydia, Kelly soon found, was hooked.
"This is not, 'I'm passively waiting for a guy in my fancy dress,'" Kelly said.
Lydia is now 13 but her childhood interest in real-life princesses and queens inspired Kelly to share those stories with other parents and children.
"Powerful Princess" is the answer to moms and dads who want their kids to learn about princesses in history and for those in need of a change from Disney's lineup of monarchy.
"Because how many parents are not sick of that 'Frozen' song?" said Kelly, who has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years and has two children.
She started by hosting school clubs and later organized after-school sessions and workshops for kindergarten to third graders with games, crafts, stories, dress-up and activities about royal women from around the world. In May, she expanded her work to include birthday parties for ages 4 and up.
Cleopatra-themed parties, for example, include an arts activity, learning about hieroglyphics, creating a cartouche and a mummy wrap with toilet paper, Kelly explained.
Kelly has since taught little girls about heroic women such as Queen Elizabeth I, Rani of Jhansi, Queen Christina of Sweden and Njinga, Queen of Angola.
While researching these powerful princesses, Kelly looks for stories that she feels would resonate with her young audiences and be fun for them. She also searches for themes that kids might be able to relate to their own lives, like speaking out and standing up for oneself.
"Each princess sort of has a super power," she said.

Reading at Castleton
At Castleton, we are committed to making sure that children become engaged from the beginning of their time with us. When they share stories, their imagination sparks and their curiosity is stimulated. As they learn to read, their vocabulary expands and they gain a greater understanding of the meaning of words. As they gain confidence and independence, they can read about the world, people and places around them. When children become good at reading, they learn more. It improves communication skills and encourages empathy and compassion.
Our 'Reading Spine'
We know that our role in promoting a love of reading is vital and we make sure that we select the right books to help all children to thrive. To achieve this, we have developed our own "Castleton Reading Spine".
This spine contains the stories and books that Castleton children encounter during their journey with us. These texts have been carefully selected and sequenced to reflect stories that will ignite children's imagination, as well as books about the lives of those whose experiences and perspectives differ from their own. These stories are shared, discussed, read, re-read and enjoyed in story times and dedicated reading time as well as across the curriculum. The Castleton Reading Spine also reflects the wider curriculum, including titles that will enhance children's learning in other subjects.
Class Libraries
Our class libraries have recently been replenished with new and current titles as well as well-loved classics and books by established authors. All our children have access to their class library so they can borrow books to enjoy at home.
Reading at home
Children benefit hugely from listening to family members read aloud to them. Watch the film below for top tips for reading stories with your child.
Rhymes, poems and songs help to strengthen children's vocabulary and build their connection to language. By picking up rhythms, their awareness and control of their voices is developed.
Click on the film below to listen to some traditional nursery rhymes.
Reading Challenges
We encourage all our children to read at home, as well as broaden the range of books they read and encounter. Our termly reading challenge rewards children for reading regularly at home as well as setting them additional challenges, for example, reading a book by a Children's Laureate.

Technology has invaded almost every aspect of our lives, and education is no exception. These days, more and more people are taking online or remote courses, thanks to the technology that allows for learning in a variety of ways.
In the last decade or so, technology has begun to play a larger role in education, both in traditional classrooms and in online and remote education.
In this article, we will take a look at 6 of the best ways that technology is used in online and remote education. Keep reading to learn more!
6 Ways The Technology Is Used In Online & Remote Education
Technology has revolutionized the field of education. It has opened new horizons for students and teachers alike. There are many ways in which technology is used in online and remote education.
We will discuss six of the best ways in which technology is used in online & remote education. They are as follows:
- Video lectures and tutorials
- Online language courses
- eLearning platforms
- Online collaboration tools
- Social media for learning
- Mobile learning.
These are the 6 main technologies used in Online Education.
1. Video Lectures And Tutorials
Video lectures and tutorials are one of the most used technologies in online education. Video lectures have become a part of higher education now.
In fact, they are replacing traditional text-based learning materials because they allow learners to visualize what they learn and help them understand better. The technology is also used for teaching via video conferences.
2. Online Language Courses
Technology has made it possible to learn a new language online, without having to go out and attend classes. Online language courses are very popular, and there are many different ones to choose from. One of the best things about online language courses is that they allow you to learn at your own pace and in your own time.
This is perfect for people who have busy lives or who cannot attend regular classes. There are many websites that provide online courses in almost all languages of the world. You can take a course in Spanish or French or German from an institute that is located thousands of miles away!
3. ELearning Platforms
An eLearning platform is a website or software that allows learners and educators to connect with each other and share resources.
There are many eLearning platforms that allow teachers to create online courses, upload content, and manage their students. These platforms also provide features such as quizzes, forums, wikis, and chat rooms. Some of the popular eLearning platforms are Moodle, Blackboard, and Canvas.
4. Online Collaboration Tools
Online collaboration tools allow learners and educators to collaborate with each other in real-time. These tools include chat rooms, video conferencing software, whiteboards, and document editors.
They help educators provide feedback to learners and also help them in group discussions. It has been found that learners who use online collaboration tools perform better than those who don't.
5. Social Media For Learning
Many educators are using social media to engage with their students. They use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., to share resources with the class or answer student queries.
Some teachers even use these platforms as a way of communicating with parents about their child's progress. Also, they can use it to share important announcements with the entire class.
6. Mobile Learning
With the advent of smartphones and tablets, mobile learning has become very popular. Mobile devices allow learners to access educational content anywhere and at any time.
They are also great for problem-solving and have many applications in the field of education. Experiencing mobile learning technology on behalf of the classroom helps students develop skills that will benefit them later in life.
Benefits Of Technology In Online Education
There are many benefits of technology in online education. Some of these include:
- It improves access to learning resources for students and teachers.
- It allows learners to learn at their own pace and in their own time.
- It also helps them to overcome geographical barriers and attend classes from anywhere in the world.
- Students can access educational content on any device they want, such as smartphones or tablets.
- This makes learning more accessible and convenient for all types of students (especially those who are not able to attend traditional classes).
- Technology can also help educators in the assessment of students' learning.
- It allows them to track student progress and identify any areas that need improvement.
Thus, technology has made a significant impact on online education and has helped learners achieve their academic goals easily and conveniently.
Things To Keep In Mind To Get More Out Of Online Education
There are some things that you need to keep in mind if you want to get more out of online education. They are as follows:
1. Choose The Right Program
The key to getting good results from online education is choosing the right program. Make sure that the program is accredited and meets your needs.

You should make a study schedule to stay on track and keep up with your online education. You can use technology like Google Calendar, Reminder Apps, etc to set reminders for yourself so that you don't miss any deadlines or assignments.
3. Be Disciplined And Motivated
Online education is not easy; it requires discipline and motivation. You need to stay focused on your goals and keep working towards them despite all the challenges that come along with them.

Loving Yourself Beyond Lupus
"To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others; you need to accept yourself." –Thich Nhat Hanh
It can be hard to accept and love yourself beyond the pain that lupus can bring. But it is completely necessary. There are some steps that you can take to begin the process of loving who you are beyond lupus.
10 steps to love yourself beyond lupus
Begin your day with positivity
First, start your day in a positive mindset to get through hard days. Spend time focusing inward daily to clear a path to a better day beyond your pain. Remember, how you begin your day is how your day will ultimately be.
Speak happiness over yourself
Yes, it is very difficult to deal with and fight lupus day-to-day. That is the reality. Sometimes positive affirmations help to get your day started. Affirmations can put some happiness over you and create a productive walk in your day.
Get honest with how you feel
Get honest with yourself about how you feel about your battle with lupus. Acknowledge those feelings and begin to process them. This will help you heal emotionally. Remove the mass to deal with lupus positively and purposefully. Realize how important your emotional state is in healing your body beyond the constant pain.
Allow yourself to relax
Breathe, relax, and let go. It is necessary to stop fighting against yourself. To understand and deal with your emotions when you're in pain, let your body and spirit rest. Do this before your body and mind force you to.
Be patient with yourself
Don't blame yourself for things you have no control of. It is not your fault that you have lupus. Be patient with yourself as you go through the process of learning your body and dealing with a chronic illness. You are fighting a hard battle. Give yourself some compassion.
Accept Unpredictability
Lupus is so unpredictable, and as a warrior, it's important to accept that. It's the only way to live in your present moment in peace. Accept the unpredictability, and don't continue to get yourself angered over it.
Forgive yourself
Forgive yourself for being your harshest critic during your most difficult times. Especially since having lupus is no easy feat. Removing self-criticism will help you move peacefully in your moments. Ultimately, you should forgive yourself for judging yourself in the times when you need to love yourself the most.
Be real
Be honest about how you feel at all times. In detail, the time has come to stop hiding behind the masks. Be real with how you allow yourself to be seen, known, and heard. Begin to allow people in your lupus world, so you are not creating a superhuman to those who misunderstand what lupus is. As a result, you will be able to show the realness of lupus to others.
Focus on your positive
Get in your head and your heart that you are amazing beyond lupus. You are still able to fight. You are a warrior that is thriving despite lupus. Therefore, believe it and receive that power into your life.
Seek professional help
Finally, lupus can create self-rejection and neglect. You deserve to be happy beyond lupus. You have the right to be accepted and loved by YOU. If necessary, seek help from a support group, a counselor, a coach, or a minister. It will be the best investment in yourself that you will ever make.
In conclusion, loving yourself can be one of the hardest things to do while battling lupus. At times, we get down on ourselves and notice every flaw. We focus on who we used to be instead of the greatness of who we are in this very moment. In light of that, we need to recondition our love of self. Whenever you can, do what you need to do to make yourself feel good and feel happy. Don't try and be perfect. Just be proud of who you are beyond the limits lupus imposes. Work on these steps and start instilling a love for yourself beyond lupus.

Five years on and three quarters of people say banks still haven't learnt their lesson
Five years on from the day the global financial crisis officially started and the public are more disillusioned with the banking sector than ever before.
As the Parliamentary Inquiry on Banking Standards prepares to get underway, a new Which? survey has found almost three-quarters (71%) of people don't think UK banks have learnt their lesson from the financial crisis – up from 61% in September 2011.
Consumers also have low expectations that the Inquiry will lead to change, with only a quarter of people (26%) confident that it will lead to positive improvements in UK banks.
Since the start of the financial crisis consumers have been bearing the brunt of the recession with the Which? latest wellbeing survey showing that nearly half are worried about mortgage rates (45%) and the level of their household debt (42%).
At the same time, consumers have been hit by a series of bank scandals, which have further exposed the broken culture and mismanagement in UKbanking. These include the mis-selling of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), which is now on course to be the biggest financial scandal of all time, Libor interest rate rigging, and IT system failures at Natwest and Nationwide. Which? is calling for the Banking Inquiry to produce tough new proposals to force banks to work better for consumers by tackling the lack of competition and culture in banking.
Other findings from Which? are:
- 84% of people think that the banks have not done enough to change the banking industry to ensure another credit crunch does not happen again – an increase from 76% in September 2011.
- 71% think the banking culture hasn't got any better since the start of the credit crunch.
- 50% of people think that the government's handling of the banking industry has also got worse.
- 80% think there is a deeper problem with the culture in banks than just a few individuals making bad decisions.
Which? chief executive Peter Vicary-Smith said:
"Five years on from the beginning of the financial crisis, public confidence in the banking industry is at an all time low, with a series of scandals exposing mis-management and corruption at the very heart of the banking system that have cost UK consumers dear.
"The Parliamentary Banking Inquiry must produce proposals for fundamental change to the culture and practices of the banks and put the best interests of consumers back at the centre of reforms. Nothing should be off the table if the Government is to rebuild consumer confidence in this essential service."
Which? wants the Inquiry to focus on the needs of consumers, and to make recommendations for handing power back to bank customers and transforming the culture and level of competition in the banking sector to achieve this.
Notes to editors:
1 On 9th August 2007, the European Central Bank released €95bn of liquidity to prevent borrowing costs from spiralling, marking the start of the credit crunch. The US Federal Reserve followed suit with $24bn, and the Dow Jones Average dropped by nearly 400 points.
2 Populus, on behalf of Which?, interviewed 2000 GB adults online between 3rd and 5th August 2012. Data were weighted to be demographically representative of all GB adults. Populus is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.
3 Our latest wellbeing survey was also run by Populus, who interviewed 2003 GB adults online between 31st July and 2nd August 2012. Data were weighted to be demographically representative of all GB adults.

After the huge emotional high of Saturday night's Motette, which was followed by plenty of delicious and much-needed local beer, it was back to work on Sunday. We began by singing the Sunday morning service at the Stiftskirche, which was a fascinating experience, and one which did a lot to put Bach's music in context. We were up in the spacious organ loft (which meant that the congregation at least were spared the sight of us fumbling around with unfamiliar service books), and our duties were to sing an anthem at the beginning and end of the service, and join in with the hymns. The service is very simple, with congregational hymns playing a big part, each preceded by an elaborate organ improvisation by the Stiftskirche organist Ingo Bredenbach. We are so used to hearing Bach's chorale preludes played as stand-alone pieces, often at the end of services that it's easy to forget what they were actually for: hearing Prof. Bredebach's imaginative improvisations (he worked Francesa's pre-service Purcell into his first one) made a direct connection with what Bach and others were doing.
After the service, the church held a short piano recital by one of Prof. Bredenbach's students of Beethoven bagatelles – serious business when it wasn't even lunchtime yet! The church has acquired a magnificent Bösendorfer piano with an extended range the bass (the keys are coloured black, to alert the unwary player) – apparently this type of piano was originally developed for the pianist Ferruccio Busoni for his arrangements of Bach organ music. And outside, Tübingen city centre was livelier than ever, because not only was the Umbrian-Provençal market still in full swing, but there was also a 10k race snaking its way through the city centre. It was a perfect weekend for us to be there: the city was absolutely buzzing the whole time, and the market was handy for souvenir shopping and quick street-food lunches.
Our afternoon concert venue was a world away from the Lutheran austerity of the Stiftskirche. Schloss Solitude is a piece of rococo confectionary, built as a country retreat by one of the Dukes of Wüttemberg. It's set on a hill just outside Stuttgart surrounded by lovely parkland and with great views over the countryside. The chapel where we sang was completely white – a wedding cake turned inside out, and a dramatic contrast with our black concert dress. As at the Stiftskirche, the audience made us feel very welcome, and were warmly appreciative of our performance: looking around and seeing Germans smiling happily at you whilst you're singing Bach is most encouraging! We were also able to enjoy hearing Francesca playing the organ music based on Nun Lob mein Seel' by Buxtehude and Praetorius, a tune that will now be forever associated with this tour.
After all this, it's possible that one or two beers may have been consumed. But what happens on tour, stays on tour.

With the launch of our 100th store, the company aims to make eye-wear accessible and available to all the consumers in the region and beyond. At Lenskart, our vision is to serve 50% of India over the next 2-3 years and Bengaluru is the first city we want to do it in.

(2013) Iowa Workforce Development Annual Report Fiscal Year 2013. Iowa Workforce Development
FY13_IWD_PerformanceReport.pdf File Size:2MB |
The past fiscal year brought some improvements in the Iowa economy that should position the state for stronger hiring in the year ahead. The housing market is on solid footing, and hiring is broader in scope, including a number of the service-providing industries that had been on hold for some time. State and local government fiscal conditions have also stabilized due to a rise in tax revenues. This means that government cutbacks will be less of a drag on overall job growth. During FY 2013, Iowa's non-farm jobs advanced by 19,200 (+1.3 percent) compared to 23,000 (+1.6 percent) for the prior fiscal year. Although manufacturing continued to post the largest over the year job gain at close to 5,600, job growth shifted away from manufacturing to the service providing industries by mid-year. Annual job gains of 2,000 or more were reflected in professional and business services, education and health, leisure and hospitality, retail trade and financial activities. Statewide non-farm employment averaged 1,517,700 in FY 2013, the highest level achieved since the record of 1,524,800 in FY 2008.

Meeting for the second time in a week, the Philadelphia 76ers were able to get revenge on the Orlando Magic, winning 126-125 in double overtime on Tuesday night. After a fast start, the Sixers faltered some, falling behind the Magic by five at the end of the first period. After the Magic lead grew to as much as nine, Philadelphia fought back and captured the lead for the majority of regulation, leading by as many as 11. A few late blunders saw the Magic claw their way back into it, forcing the game into overtime.
The teams traded buckets in overtime, with the biggest lead being five for Philadelphia. More miscues saw the Magic tie it up late, and an Evan Turner attempt at the buzzer fell short, sending the game into a second overtime period. Philadelphia grabbed the lead early in the second overtime period and didn't look back. An Arron Afflalo three at the buzzer wasn't enough as the Sixers took a one-point win.
Philadelphia was led by rookie Michael Carter-Williams, who impressed once again. Carter-Williams finished with his first career triple-double, notching 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Thaddeus Young, Turner, Hollis Thompson, Spencer Hawes and James Anderson joined the rookie in double figures, finishing with 25, 24, 10, 17, and 19, respectively. The Sixers beat the Magic in most statistical categories, outshining 56-34 in rebounding, 11-6 from three-point range, 58-38 in the paint, 31-16 in second chance points and 18-11 in fast-break points.
Not to be outdone by fellow rookie Carter-Williams, Magic rookie guard Victor Oladipo notched his first career triple-double as well, finishing with career highs in points (27), rebounds (10), and assists (10). Along with Oladipo, guard Arron Afflalo and forward Glen Davis also enjoyed career nights. Afflalo scored a career-high 43 on 14-of-27 shooting, while Davis bounced back from his abysmal game in Washington, finishing with a career-high 33. Afflalo became the fifth player this season to score 40+ points and shoot 50+ percent from the field, joining Chris Paul, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, and Kyrie Irving.
Magic Game Notes
Afflalo Shines Again
Big night after big night, Arron Afflalo continues to impress this season. A night after scoring 21 points in Washington, Afflalo bettered his career high with an efficient 43 points. Afflalo set his career high earlier in the season with a 36-point night against the Milwaukee Bucks, but was not going to be stopped on Tuesday night. From the start Afflalo was feeling it, scoring 18 points in the first half. His sizzling play has garnered attention from people leaguewide, and could lead to his first career All-Star selection.
Rookies Impress
For the first time in the history of the NBA, two rookies finished with triple-doubles in the same game. From the start, Victor Oladipo and Michael Carter-Williams were going after each other and exciting the crowd. Both players had career highs in rebounds, while Oladipo added career highs in both assists and points. The two battled it out for Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honors, which Carter-Williams won. It was one of many exciting matchups on the night, and should be one to look forward to for years to come.
Magic Struggle On Boards
Without rebounding machine Nikola Vucevic, who was out due to a sprained ankle, the Magic struggled mightily, failing to box-out Philadelphia on multiple occasions. The Sixers had a 20-8 advantage on the offensive boards, which led to a 15-point advantage in second chance points. The four Magic big men that played combined for 10 rebounds, getting beat time after time. After rebounding the ball extremely well for the first two weeks of the season, the Magic have fallen to 17th in the league in total rebounding. It's a simple task, but is something everyone must take seriously to be successful.
Short Rotation Causes Problems
On a grueling second night of a back-to-back, only nine of the available 11 Magic players played. As the game wore on, it was evident players, especially Arron Afflalo, began to lose their legs. From lethargic plays to missed opens jumpers, the Magic's tired legs began to show. With five of nine players playing over 38 minutes, coach Vaughn's short rotations proved to be a big problem late for the team. It's early in the season still, but injuries and short rotations could be the death of the Magic.
Stats of the Night
The Magic out-shot the Sixers, shooting 50 percent from the field compared to 47.9 percent for the Sixers.
It was the first time since 1995 two rookies had a triple-double in the same day, and first time ever in the same game.
Arron Afflalo raised his season average over a point to 22.5 points on the season.
The game was also Afflalo's ninth career 30-point game, four of which have come this season.

SAN DIEGO -- Padres All-Stars Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. stood next to each other and said it's all good between them after their weekend shouting match in the dugout during a season that has been spiraling out of control.
Machado shouted and cursed at Tatis during the face-to-face confrontation at the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night. Machado, 29, and Tatis, 22, were separated by teammates before taking their defensive positions on the field.
The dustup came after Tatis struck out looking and then argued the call by umpire Phil Cuzzi. Padres manager Jayce Tingler was ejected when he came out to argue on Tatis' behalf.
Machado could be heard saying, "It's not about you," as teammate Adam Frazier and a Padres coach ushered Tatis away from the angry third baseman.
The Padres blew a 2-0 lead in Saturday night's 3-2 loss and were swept in the three-game series, going 2-8 on a trip that seriously damaged their hopes of returning to the postseason.
Before Tuesday night's home game against the National League West-leading San Francisco Giants, Machado called Tatis "my little brother" and added that "we're always going to be together no matter what. We've got a lot of years here together moving forward. That's done and said. He's got to go. We've got to go as a team, as well. That's what we're going to try to reach in the next 13 days."
The Padres had a one-game lead for the second wild-card spot on Sept. 9. They then were swept in three games at the Los Angeles Dodgers, split a four-game series at San Francisco, lost three straight in St. Louis -- and lost 6-5 to the Giants on Tuesday night.
San Diego is now five games behind St. Louis for the second wild card, with the Philadelphia Phillies a half-game ahead of the Padres and the Cincinnati Reds one game ahead.
Asked his take on what happened Saturday night, Tatis said: "It happened, it's part of baseball, it's a part this game brings out, especially when good players are trying to win and stuff is not going our way. At the end of the day, I'm glad it happened. I feel like that brings us stronger, when you go inside and talk about it and you analyze it and you just come together."
Machado, who has a 10-year, $300 million contract, did most of the talking during the impromptu, three-minute availability with the media after batting practice. Toward the end, when Machado kept repeating that the Padres simply needed to win baseball games, Tatis, who has a 14-year, $340 million contract, covered his face with his glove and appeared to be laughing.
Talking about the incident, Machado said it was "unfortunate it happened inside the dugout in a crucial situation for us as a team. We've also got to apologize to the fans for being able to see that. We handled it internally as a team."
The Padres have struggled since the trade deadline, when they failed to add starting pitching. Their rotation has been hit hard by injuries, and on Tuesday, they designated right-hander Jake Arrieta for assignment. Arrieta, 35, went 0-3 with a 10.95 ERA in four starts after being signed by San Diego following his release by the Chicago Cubs. He left Sunday's start in St. Louis with a groin injury after getting just one out. The Padres reinstated reliever Javy Guerra from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.
Their offense also has gone missing at times during seemingly uninspired stretches, leaving them looking the opposite of the fun-loving team that was playing with swagger early in the season.
"We're the leaders of this organization, of this team, so with the pressure of trying to win, the emotions that go through everything, we've got Fernando over here who's about to win the MVP, we've got a team that's trying to compete and get to the World Series, we haven't been playing so great baseball, so emotions get involved and it gets the better of us at all times," said Machado, who went on to homer twice in Tuesday night's loss. "Those are situations we learn as leaders, as a team, as an organization, and we just get better from that."
Machado said they were putting the dugout scrap to rest for good.
"We're here to take away the distractions from the team," he said. "We've got bigger fish to fry. We've got bigger things to be worrying about now than to be worrying about something that's not a big deal. We're going to go out there and play baseball. We've got 13 more games left. We've got to try to win all of them to get to where we want to be."
The Padres ended a 13-year playoff drought during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and beat the Cardinals in the wild-card round, before being swept in the division series by the eventual World Series champion Dodgers.
While Tatis has led the conversation for NL MVP, he has had an up-and-down season, even being moved from shortstop -- where he started the All-Star Game -- to the outfield due to a recurring left shoulder injury. He has been back at shortstop recently after fellow All-Star Jake Cronenworth broke a finger, but Tatis was back in center field on Sunday and committed a brutal error that led to a five-run first inning in St. Louis' 8-7 win.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
