Clark State Community College Finds Students Perform Better with Online Science Classes
Last year, 7.1 million students at colleges and universities in the United States took at least one online course, according to a recent survey. But for students who enrolled in online science classes, how did they get their lab experience to complete the course?
At Clark State Community College in Springfield, Ohio, students taking Introduction to Chemistry can conduct hands-on "wet lab" experiments in their own kitchens. Using chemistry kits produced by LabBridge Solutions, the students can create chemical reactions with solids and liquids poured into test tubes after learning the step-by-step instructions on a website.
The kits, which were upgraded in January, cost less than $300 and include the scientific equipment and materials needed to conduct 14 labs for the course. The LabBridge website also offers background material and illustrations for each experiment, instructions on how to conduct the labs, and an evaluation section where the students can apply what they've learned to real-world problems.
What's surprising about these online science courses at Clarkson State Community College is that students who take the online version earn higher grades than those who take the equivalent course on campus. An analysis of grades in both formats of the course in Fall 2013 showed that 44 percent of those enrolled in the online version with LabBridge earned an A or B, compared to only 18 percent of those in the bricks-and-mortar course.
Fewer student also failed the online version of the course. Only 11 percent of the LabBridge students earned an F, while 21 percent of those taking the course on campus did so, according to Midge Hall, a professor of chemistry at the college.
Hall firmly believes students using LabBridge with an online course learn better than their counterparts who take the course on campus.
"If you observe students in a lab situation, they have lab partners and a lot of times, one person does all the work and the other person fetches," Hall says. "One person is a pair of hands, and the other person is thinking and giving directions. When people are home doing it by themselves, they have to do all the thinking. It makes them interested and excited about it."
What demonstrated the students' interest in the online course were two students who asked Hall if they could complete two of the labs they missed after the course was over. The requirements in Hall's course is for the students to complete 12 out of the 14 labs. "I've never had a student come to me and ask to make up a lab," Hall says.
While Hall is convinced that online science classes are as good as those on campus, not all science professors share her view. At a recent meeting of science faculty in Ohio, many argued that online science courses were not an acceptable alternative.
"There's a big hurdle there," Hall says. "I think that introductory science courses are very appropriate online. The faculty in the sciences need to recognize this is a valid alternative."

"Joker's Favor" Knit Hat
My friends, Au'na and Carey, got married in Joker and Harley Quinn colors. When we found out they were expecting and that they were expecting a boy, I thought a baby's hat in Joker colors would be a lovely gift for him.
Vanna's Choice, olive
Sugar N' Cream, hot purple
US 9 bamboo knitting needles
Tapestry needle
The pattern I found was a variation on the one originally posted at Red Heart, using k2p2 rib stitches for the entire design and k2tog to shore up the curve for the top of the hat.
Once all the rows were complete, I left an 8″ tail of yarn free to pull in the top of the hat. I then used the remaining tails to mattress stitch the two ends of the hat together.
This is the first of two hats I'm working on for them. Look for a Baby Jayne hat closer to Gen Con, browncoats!
One Response to ""Joker's Favor" Knit Hat"

It's been a long time coming, but Bethel Baptist Church in Westville is finally putting the finishing touches on a new wing to their church building.
"God has been very good to us and we've needed more space for some time," said Pastor Ryan King.
Construction began about two and a half years ago on a 4,800-square-foot addition that will allow them to seat about 240 people in a new auditorium. In their current auditorium they've been averaging about 140 on their Sunday mornings. The former auditorium will be used as a fellowship hall once the new one opens.
In addition to a new auditorium, the expansion includes more bathrooms to accommodate the growing congregation as well as a baptismal tank. New roofing and new siding were also applied to the entire building.
Part of the reason the process took so long, King says, is because the church did the construction almost exclusively with volunteer labour from within the congregation. This allowed them to complete the project for just the cost of materials.
"We're a church that attracts people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Because of that we're not a very wealthy church," King said.
Given that and uncertainty in the economy, it was important for the church not to borrow money.
"We were able to do it ourselves and pay for it as we went along, but it took a long time to do."
He said the church was fortunate to have many skilled labourers able to do the work, including red seal carpenters and a red seal electrician. These people spent many weekends and evenings working away to make the project a reality.
"The people have been so good to use their talents," he said. "Whether it was high skilled work or general labour, everyone has pitched in to some capacity."
King said the church is also grateful for support community businesses have given, including a rental company that lent them what they needed for free, a crane company that donated boom work and a painter who did all the labour for the ceiling free of charge.
"We've had incredible blessings from the community that see a non-profit work that is trying to make a difference in the community."
For all those who contributed to the project, he said, they want to extend a heartfelt thank you.
Want to see it?
On Saturday Oct. 27 between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., the church is inviting people in the community who have seen the expansion happening and want to have a look, to come and check it out for themselves. There will be face painting and balloon animals for the kids as well as hot dogs which will be given away free. There will be no preaching that day. Then, on Sunday Oct. 28, the opening church service will be held at 11 a.m. with an evening service at 6 p.m. as well. The church is located at 1948 Temperance Street in Westville and can be seen from Drummond Road.

Crime damages people, communities and relationships. If crime is about harm, then the justice process should emphasize repairing the harm.
Restorative practices encourage offenders to take responsibility for their actions and to repair the harm caused to the victim and community. Victims and the community assist in setting the terms of accountability and monitoring and supporting completion of the offender's obligation. In the end, the offender is held accountable to the victim, community and state.

Patel renews contract
Caption: Coach Dipak Patel, S&C Coach Billy Ame and Hebou Barramundis Fast Bowler Norman Vanua pictured after Kenya victory.
CRICKET PNG (CPNG) has announced the renewal of Hebou PNG Barramundis head coach Dipak Patel's contract for another year.
The announcement was made by CPNG chief executive officer, Greg Campbell,
"Cricket PNG is fortunate to have Coach Patel on board with us as Head Coach…he is our longest serving coach and has done a tremendous job in shaping our cricket players into professional athletes both on and off field," said Campbell.
"His experience and coaching method is invaluable to our sporting code's strive for excellence."
The former New Zealand cricket great made his decision to renew his contract for another year with Cricket PNG last week,
"As a coach I still have unfinished business especially with the Hebou Barramundis following our disappointment in missing out for the World T20 in India … however qualifying for a World Cup would be on the list and I've been very impressed with the huge progress made," said Patel.
A coaching style described as "democratic",Patel began his tenure as Head Coach of CPNG in 2014 with the task of shaping emerging amateur players to fully fledged professional athletes.
"I believe in sharing responsibilities with the whole group and empowering the players and coaches. The expectations at all times at trainings and practices are to become the best in the world as individuals and as a team. I explain to my support staff and players what is required and the objectives to achieve to become the 'Best in the World' and ultimately base my decisions on the player's suggestions and needs…This allows me to define what to do and how to do it."
Following an impressive home victory against Kenya in PNG's first ever International Cricket Council (ICC) sanctioned match in May of this year, Coach Patel has more expectations in his long term vision for Cricket PNG,
"There are a number of areas that the Hebou Barramundis have excelled in, the players are a lot more professional on and off the field and we've increased our winning ratio consistently in all forms of the game which has been my main objective. The Barra's individual records are always improving particularly in the I-Cup (4 Day Internationals),"
"I'm always looking for challenges and to become a better coach than what I am at present both on and off the field. My philosophy is to always put higher expectations on myself than what I expect from the players."
Cricket PNG is an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and is currently No.1 ranked country in the East-Asia Pacific Region & 15th in the World.

Fine Art Friday: Henry Hargreaves - "No Seconds" Photo Series
Photographer Henry Hargreaves's body of work "No Seconds" documents the final meals requested by death row inmates, some famous serial killers among them, and pairs the images with text describing the requested meal, the name of the criminal, and the crime he/she committed. Using the style of a visual survey, the images tap into the psyche of the criminal minds and give a bit of insight into their brains . Leaving the viewer stewing about the how and why some of the inmates considered the food, very specific or none at all, makes one ponder about the act of killing and the preference for a favorite meal, as an extension of a very compartmental mind.

Video: Raw Poetic X Kev Brown - "Super"
Underground producer favorite Kev Brown recently linked with the emcee Raw Poetic for the collabo album "Concentrated Maneuvers" with Redefinition Records / Low Budget. Building with authentic and honest rhymes and Kev Brown masterful "grimy soul" production, the duo is pushing a brand of positive hip hop and true school music that underground heads claim to have been missing from the game forever. Always a fan of album length collabos in the spirit of Gangstarr (one mc, one producer), Here's hoping that the LP shares the same quality as the single and video above!

Listen: staHHr - "On My Gonzales" ft. John Robinson + Ekundayo
"On My Gonzales" is the latest video and track from Atlanta-based female emcee staHHr and her "Mother Nature with a Molotov: Molotov Season" album. Joined by underground favorites John Robinson (Scienz of Life) and Ekundayo (L.I.U.N.S. Den), the trio illustrate a track from Floyd the Locsmif with true school lyrics and subject matter. The title of the song comes from a line in staHHr's verse, where she coins the phrase "on my Gonzales" in reference to one "being focused, handling biz, doing their job, etc".
Listen: Mattic - "An Introduction To Doctor Outer" Album
Mattic is back with a new album "The Adventures Of Doctor Outer" sixteen new tracks at the crossroads of 90s Hip Hop and psychological rap. Mattic puts his frank and authentic texts on Mighty DR's skillfully crafted beats. His rhymes illustrate his flow of thoughts and his emotions conduct the flow.
"The Adventures Of Doctor Outer" project was born of an encounter after a concert, a discussion that lasted hours germinated the lyrics of the album. Mattic plays with the mind, wanders in the maze of his thoughts, while keeping firmly grounded. It is in order to illustrate the labyrinth of the mind that he reworked the sound texture of the tracks adding Fx, vocal samples, and cuts with Stab from Berry Weight and recorded Cello with Marina Quaisse. Out now on Phonosaurus Recs.

It took me a couple of years, but I feel I lastly came up with the best homeschooling curriculum. There is so much excellent curriculum to choose from that it can get overwhelming – order lots of catalogs so you can mark in them and go back and appear at stuff. It really is not till high school that the subjects are split into U.S. Literature, Grammar, British Literature, Physical Science, Chemistry and Biology. Homeschooling expenses what you choose you can afford for it. For instance, for core courses, math, science, language arts, history, we usually spend beneath $100.00 for textbooks on … for higher college level kids. Comprehend that if you home college that there will be alterations as you and your kid adapt to each and every other and the program.
If you're lookig for a a lot more religion/bible based education getting supplied then a Christian homeschool program might be correct for you and your household. Winston Grammar – I actually like this plan as a hands-on, kinesthetic way of teaching parts of speech. When feasible, borrow a curriculum so that you and your youngster can look it over and see if it fits your teaching style and their finding out style. THE sponsors field trips, a high school choir, junior varsity and varsity sports applications, and quite a few other activites.
Nevertheless, most homeschool parents typically evolve into a significantly less rigid methodology as they turn out to be a lot more confident with their lesson plans and their teaching capacity and style. Don't overly invest in a curriculum until you see if you like it. Remember that easy is normally greater, and that some subjects are much better learned in real life rather than just with a book.
To accurately spot your kid into our Christian homeschool curriculum, we offer you cost-free placement test sources for Monarch, LIFEPAC, and Horizons. I will have a 9th & 10th grader this year, and 4 other grade school students, a 3yrold, and a newborn! I do not use it but I believed it was fascinating, it is a complete, cost-free curriculum online.
Moving Beyond the Web page () – This curriculum provides packages with a concentrate on crucial considering and comprehension for ages five by means of 12. It requires into account the student's strengths and understanding style, and delivers project-based instruction that meets or exceeds state and national requirements. Sign up for Time4Learning , and construct your personal personalized homeschool curricula K-6.

All I can say about this book is WOW! Just a stunning look at how the movies where made. Daniel Falconer has done a fantastic job in his research to bring this book to life.
He covers everything from the original storyboards, to the different ways the movies were filmed over the fifteen years it took to make the films. There's a lot of interviews with the people behind the scenes that brought the massive movies to life. And the pictures are breathtaking. There are some many stunning looks at everything involved with Tolkien and his Hobbit world. THe book also has a forward from Peter Jackson, the man in charge of the movie franchise.
I know this may seem like a very short review (which it is). Words cannot describe how awesome this book is. And it must weigh about 5 pounds, it's heavy!
If you're a fan of the series or know someone that is, you have the perfect holiday present for them! It's in stores on Tuesday, November 21st.

Perfect balance of sweet and tart with white chocolate and cranberries. And the colors add a festive holiday feel to any cookie tray or table. And the perfect cocktail to pair with this dessert….Champagne! Garnishing your glass with mint adds to the holiday season colors.
If you haven't tried candied cranberries, you are in for a treat. Tart with added sweetness is the perfect snack for your holiday cocktail party.
Cranberry Cookie Bars
Makes 16-20 bars
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 stick (8 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate
- ½ cup dried cranberries, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line an 8 or 9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, with excess over the sides. Spray with nonstick spray.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat melted butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined (do not over mix). Fold in the white chocolate chips and cranberries. Spread into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
(If you prefer to make cookies instead of the bars, drop dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are golden and continue with instructions)
To make frosting: In a bowl using an electric mixer beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Melt chocolate using a double boiler method or microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing in between each interval, until melted. Add in half of the melted chocolate and continue to beat for a few minutes. If you prefer a thicker frosting, you can add more powdered sugar.
Once cookies are cooled, spread frosting on top and sprinkle cranberries or additional chocolate chips if desired. Drizzle the remaining half of the white chocolate using a fork and cut into bars.
Candied Cranberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 inches of fresh ginger (optional)
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- Sugar for garnish
Heat sugar, water and ginger in a sauce pan until sugar has dissolved, but not boiling.Turn off the heat and stir in the cranberries.
Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight. This helps loosen the skin of the berries and the liquid also clings to the berries to help with the sugar coating.
(If the cranberries do not submerge, you can top the cranberries with another bowl or plate to keep them submerged overnight)
Strain the cranberries and discard the ginger.
* If you are making the cranberry cocktail, do not discard the liquid as this is the simply syrup needed for the cocktail. You can also save the liquid for up to a week in the refrigerator if you are making a cocktail at a later time.
Add sugar to a dish/bowl, add cranberries and shake the dish to coat cranberries. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet to dry at least an hour.
Cranberries can be kept in an air tight container for a week.
Cranberry Bliss Champagne Cocktail
- 1 oz. cranberry juice
- ½ oz. ginger cranberry simple syrup reserved from candied cranberries
- ½ oz. cointreau, or grand marnier (optional)
- Champagne
- Optional garnish: candied cranberries and mint
In a champagne glass, add cranberry juice, simple syrup, cointreau/grand marnier and top with champagne. Add candied cranberries and mint as garnish, if desired.

Mary Tsukamoto, a small woman of sixty-six when I interviewed her in 1982, described to me the sufferings of her Japanese immigrant parents during the first decades of the twentieth century. She cried unself-consciously as she talked about the life of her family when she was a child.
"Then, on a Sunday morning on December 7, 1942, we heard over the radio the news of Pearl Harbor. Because we knew of the long, ugly background of anti-Oriental sentiment in which [my siblings and I] grew up, it was a frightening thing to realize that Japan was at war with the United States. We sensed something very, very foreboding and frightening."
Mary had short, softly waved black hair that was edged with streaks of white around her face. Her brown eyes revealed her kindness, and she spoke with a gentle, young voice that nevertheless expressed much emotion. I gradually realized that her left arm was totally immobile, stuck as a ninety-degree angle.
Shortly after the beginning of WW11, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 commanding Japanese and Japanese Americans to be evacuated into concentration camps for the duration of the war. Mary's family were poor, strawberry and grape farmers in the rural community of Florin outside of Sacramento in California.
". . . By the middle of May, the sign went on the telephone posts. The [sign] asked people to be ready to be evacuated." The people, desperate to get their affairs in order, rushed around, trying to prepare their farms for their departure.
Mary continued, "The last day was on May 29. Strawberries were red in the fields; in the peak of our season, we left our berries to rot!" Mary cried hard. "And many farmers depended on that crop to pay back debts they had borrowed in the stores and shipping companies, because each year they had to borrow in advance to make it. That was the kind of life we were living; they were just poor farmers. And so they didn't get to harvest their strawberries and their grapes that year and they had debts they left, and the stores and businesses had great losses they could never claim. . . Some families were in the middle of their lunch, eating, when the military came running and said, "You've got two hours to catch the train."
During the rest of the interview Mary described the sufferings at the camps she and other they endured. Decades later, she and other Japanese Americans tried to get an apology and reparations from the government. Finally, in 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed into law an official apology and provided both compensation of $20,000 to each survivor of the camps and funds to promote Japanese American culture and history. By then, many of the survivors were dead.
In Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do, philosopher Michael J. Sandel (2009) gives insight into the questions of reparations. Sandel talks about three approaches to justice. The first is the view that whatever maximizes the welfare of the greatest number of people is just. For example, one might say that it was just for FDR to imprison Japanese Americans during WW11 because it might have kept the rest of the population safe. The second approach to justice emphasizes rights. Basic human rights are important to this understanding, and it was against their basic rights to imprison the Japanese Americans. The third idea says justice evolves around promoting goodness and reasoning about the common good. (260) In this understanding, imprisoning Japanese Americans did not contribute to the common good because there was no Japanese American sabotage.
Sandel also talks about questions of the claims of community and collective responsibility, the idea that members of a group are somehow responsible for the actions of other group members, even if these actions took place in the past. (210) For example, are white people in the United States somewhat responsible for what happened to African Americans during slavery and the era of Jim Crow, a time that ended only forty-seven years ago? What about the promises made to slaves during the Civil War that they would receive "forty acres and a mule?"
One approach to these questions is the idea of "moral individualism." In this view an individual is only subject to obligations he or she voluntarily undertakes through some idea of consent.(212) It says that as moral agents we are free and independent selves. Thus, whites alive to day bear no responsibility to Japanese Americans or blacks for what happened in the past.
Sandel believes that the concept of moral individualism is flawed, and we have "obligations of solidarity and loyalty, historic memory, and religious faith–moral claims that arise from the communities and traditions that shape our identity." (220) However, these encumbrances can be oppressive. The idea of moral individualism developed in response to the abuse of class, caste, custom, station of life, and traditions of inherited status. He asks, "how is it possible to acknowledge the moral weight of community while still giving scope to human freedom?"
Sandel presents the arguments of Alasdair MacIntyre. He says that we humans are storytelling beings. People need to ask: "'Of what story or stories do I find myself a part? . . I inherit from the past of my family, my city, my tribe, my nation, a variety of debts, inheritances, rightful expectations, and obligations. . . [These are] my moral starting point. . .I am born with a past." (221-223)
According to Sandel, both pride and shame are moral feelings that assume we have a shared identity. "You can't really take pride in your country and its past if you're unwilling to acknowledge any responsibility for carrying its story into the present, and discharging the moral burdens that may come with it." With belonging comes responsibility.(235) It's more than human rights.
Mary Tsukamoto's story and the story of her Japanese American companions warns that justice is not what is good for the greatest number. Also, just thinking of human rights is often inadequate. We must concern ourselves with our obligations to communities with whom we share a past. They are part of our narrative, a story that continues into the present.

You should buy shoes that are well made and will last. If you are looking to expand your shoe collection with some great styles that will stand the test of time, then you are in the right place. Read on to learn about buying shoes effectively.
Try not to wear athletic shoes when you aren't wearing socks. If you do, your foot will come into direct contact with your shoes, possibly hurting your feet. In addition, you could experience foot fungus. Wear socks made of cotton and put some foot powder on in order to ensure dry feet.
Don't buy some shoes if you haven't tried them both on and have also tried to walk around in them for a bit. It may be hard to know if a shoe is going to slip or rub if you fail to try it on first. This will ensure you purchase a shoe that fits perfectly.
Flip-flops are not a shoe that can be constantly worn. The kinds of shoes aren't going to offer you support, and that can make you more vulnerable to getting a sprained ankle, blisters, or stubbed toes. Limit the times you wear them to when you are at places that include water.
Determine your arch height prior to getting new athletic shoes, because one type does not suit all. Wet your foot and then step onto white paper. This helps you determine your arch. If you can see the entire footprint, your have a flat arch. If you can't see the middle, then you have a high arch. This allows you to choose a more comfortable shoe.
Beware of falling into the "breaking in" trap. Many people think that shoes should be broken in to feel comfortable. It doesn't always work that way. Many times, shoes feel great when you wear them the first time. Search for a different shoe even if it's the style you like.
Are you buying shoes online? Does the store have a return policy? This is important so you're not stuck with shoes you won't wear. You need to make sure there's something to protect you so you can return or exchange them in this situation.
If you are buying shoes for young kids, a good choice to get them on and off much faster is get them ones with velcro straps. It can take a while for a beginner to tie their shoes and the Velcro will help speed things up a bit. This can help on crazy mornings.
Don't pay too much or too little for your shoes. High quality walking and running shoes constructed from durable materials are expensive, but they are usually worth the money. Don't make the mistake of spending more than necessary on a pair of shoes "designed by" or endorsed by celebrities.
Shoes are just a necessity today. This does not mean they need to be boring and merely functional. Shoes are an accessory which pass the time test, and should be some kind of a fashion statement. Remember the tips from this article when you go shoe shopping. Wearing the right shoes will help you feel more comfortable and will definitely boost your self-confidence.…

Recently I was able to download another book by Bev Pettersen on Kindle. Having read Riding for Redemption not too long ago, I was keen to read another horse mystery romance by this author. Color My Horse didn't disappoint.
Once again with a focus on the racing world, it brings together two very different characters. Mark is a promising thoroughbred trainer who is just hitting his prime at 31 years of age. Having a colt that could run in – and even win – the Derby is a highlight for him. He can even handle the difficult owner. That is, until said owner insists that Mark takes on his granddaughter in an attempt to break her spirit – and rebellious streak.
Jessica is in her late twenties and has suffered early retirement as a skier due to a knee injury. She makes a bargain with her grandfather. He will fund her planned dog grooming business if she can last working at the racetrack for Mark for a set period of time.
Mark chooses to ignore his immediate attraction to Jessica – she's an heiress to a fortune. Plus, she doesn't know horses. He just wants her to do her job quietly – once she learns to do it competently. The fact that she is very green with regards to racing is a time wasting frustration.
Jessica is determined to show her worth at the track. She'll work hard, learn all she can and get her grandfather off her back. What she didn't factor in was falling for the head boss – or his lack of interest in her. Used to getting her way because of her looks, Jessica is surprised to find that she wants to earn Mark's respect as well as his interest.
Color My Horse
As the upcoming Breeders Cup meet draws closer, Jessica finds an unexpected love for the racing industry. Throw in an orphan boy, a foreign man with a knife who is out to get her and a scheming grandfather and Jessica doesn't know where to turn.
Color My Horse is an aptly named, entertaining mystery that wraps up nicely. I loved how Jessica's character developed and learned what she really wanted in life – with a little pushing from Mark. Toning down the language and crude descriptions would make this book almost perfect.

After my initial hazing, I have decided I'm in love with Vim.
It turns out that learning Vim is a lot like learning to type properly. At first, it really slows you down because you have to teach your fingers what to do. Later on, after your brain gets the heck out of the way and lets your fingers take over, the investment really pays off.
I'm not yet to the real payoff stage, but I can see it on the horizon.
Here are a few tips for anyone wanting to learn Vim:
Why should I learn Vim?
Because once your fingers learn the keys, you will be able to move through your programs much more quickly, use shortcut commands for every action you can possibly think of, and understand what's going on if you pair program with someone who uses Vim.
When should I learn it?
Whenever you can afford to temporarily cut your productivity in half while your fingers learn the movements. In other words, NOT when you are in the middle of learning a new coding language or have a major work or school deadline coming up.
How should I start learning?
1. Try out VimAdventures for a fun adventure-game-style tutorial. I only did the 3 free levels, since I didn't like the idea of a 6-month subscription. (I go through that kind of thing in a week, so I'd want either a 1-month subscription or a permanent download that I could come back to for review.)
2. Download Vim and then open the Vim Tutorial. Apparently that's as easy as typing
on the command line. If you read my last post about Vim, you'll know that I spent a good long time trying to figure out how to get into VimTutor from inside Vim. Do not try that at home.
3. Get more practice by downloading these excellent Vim Exercises. If you have Git installed, you can run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/skilldrick/vim-exercises.git
(If you don't have Git installed, you would probably be better off investing your time learning Git.)
4. Start coding in Vim. Do some Project Euler problems to some other code exercises using Vim.
What else should I know about Vim?
Vim has several different modes that it helps to be familiar with:
|help page
|For navigation and manipulation of text. This is the mode that vim will usually start in, which you can usually get back to with ESC.
:help Normal-mode
|For inserting new text. The main difference from vi is that many important "normal" commands are also available in insert mode – provided you have a keyboard with enough meta keys (such as Ctrl, Alt, Windows-key, etc.).
:help Insert-mode
|For navigation and manipulation of text selections, this mode allows you to perform most normal commands, and a few extra commands, on selected text.
:help visual-mode
|Similar to visual but with a more MS-Window like behavior.
:help select-mode
|For entering editor commands – like the help command in the 3rd column.
:help Command-line-mode
|Similar to the command-line mode but optimized for batch processing.
:help Ex-mode
The 2 modes you will probably use most at the beginning are Normal Mode and Insert Mode.
Normal mode is where the keyboard keys are interpreted as shortcuts. For example, the letter "j" would move the cursor down. From here you can move into insert mode with several different key commands, such as typing "i" or "a". The only difference is where the text is inserted. 'i" will insert text starting at the current position of the cursor. "a" will insert text starting at the position after the cursor.
Insert mode is where whatever you type is interpreted as text. The letter "j" would just put a "j" wherever your cursor is. To get back to Normal mode, you press Esc.
And that's it. That's pretty much everything you need to know to get started.
I got some excellent tips from readers on my last Vim post, and they helped me out a lot.
If anyone else has tips or questions, please leave a comment. Thanks!

Bridgeport orchestra brings season to a close with explosive 'Stars & Stripes'
The Greater Bridgeport Symphony brings its 2017-18 season to a rousing conclusion on Saturday, April 28, with "Stars & Stripes," featuring three of the most important American composers from around the turn of the 20th century — George Gershwin, Scott Joplin and Aaron Copland.
The season, "Revolutions and Revelations," has focused on music produced in response to civil wars in France, Russia and Spain. American music moves into the spotlight on Saturday, April 28, at the Klein Memorial Auditorium in Bridgeport.
It had been initially announced that violinist/composer Jeremy Kittel was to compose "Touch of Nature: Music of the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars," and star as guest soloist, however, Kittel recently broke his arm and that portion of the program needed to be tabled.
Instead, the concert, under the baton of Eric Jacobsen, will feature Jay Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell" from Ken Burns' documentary, "The Civil War." Also on the program are: Copland's "Appalachian Spring" and "Fanfare for the Common Man" and Joplin's "Treemonisha," with an arrangement by Connecticut composer Rex Cadwallader and chorus parts sung by Bridgeport's Harding High School choir. The concert ends with Gershwin's "Cuban Overture."
Klein Memorial Auditorium, 910 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport. Saturday, April 28, 8 p.m. $59-$15. Free parking. 203-576-0263, bptsym.org

EUGENE, Ore. -- A longtime printing business in Eugene is closing its doors after more than 90 years, leaving 27 people without a job, according to Interim President John Boytz.
Boytz said the other 14 employees at Shelton Turnbull have been given job offers to work for Morel Ink, a printing company from Portland that's planning on opening a new location in our area soon.
Morel Ink spokesman Scott Ballo said the decision comes after months of trying to buy Shelton Turnbull but failing to reach a deal.
Boytz told KEZI 9 News the business closing after all these years comes down to not having enough money. He said expenses continued to add up, and they were unable to stay afloat. The company ended up selling the building for less money than it was initially worth, he added.
Jerry Thenell, a previous owner, worked at the company for 42 years. Thenell said it's not about the expenses piling up: it's about who took over since he retired.
"I sold it, and they took over. All three of them did not do their job well. That's what started the downfall of the company," Thenell said.
Thenell said he is sad to hear the news of the company closing but not surprised.
Employee Angel Burch said the workers have had a feeling the company was going to go under for the past year.
"We used to be amazingly busy all the time, and as computers came in, it just changed everything. So as that happened you just have to change with the times, and sometimes we did and sometimes we didn't," Burch said.
Boytz says they will have the Shelton Turbull building and all the employees cleared out by the end of the month.

Are YOU on the list?
Sep 8, 2008 | Blog, Copyright, File Sharing
An increasing number of broadband end users are being approached by law firms such as Davenport Lyons under suspicion of illegal file sharing and, if you are a broadband provider, you need to know what's going on and how this issue affects you and your customers.
What's been going on?
No-one denies that illegal file sharing is an issue that should be pursued by the courts however the way in which it is currently being tackled is far from perfect. Over recent months there have been cases where opportunistic law firms identified illegal file sharers, obtained court orders which require the ISP to provide the customer's details and then sent letters to those customers demanding payments of £300+ or risk being taken to court.
Unsurprisingly, many customers when faced with one of these letters may simply choose to pay up in the hope that this will be the end of the matter. But how accurately are these customers being identified? There have been numerous cases of inaccuracies resulting in the wrong customers being served with these intimidating letters. Just one example of this is Euan MacLay who received an email from firstname.lastname@example.com accusing him of illegally downloading an episode of Stargate Atlantis six months after he moved away from the company. It was eventually found that his IP address had been reassigned and the service provider's records had not been updated.
- External link: Now Hollywood is chasing UK downloaders
This issue appears set to escalate as we now receive news of Hollywood based companies investing in the services of similar legal firms to pursue offenders on their behalf and Davenport Lyons alone have been quoted as saying they are targeting at least 500 individuals.
- External link: Court slaps UK Bittorenters with landmark damages award
What should I do?
Entanet is taking this issue and its associated responsibilities very seriously and is one of several ISPs that has been forced to disclose customer information by court order. If any of your customers are suspected of illegal file sharing, you (or your service provider) may receive a similar court order which you must comply with.
If a customer approaches you regarding this issue it would be wise to advise them that ISPs have legal obligations. Entanet treats the confidentiality of its customers seriously and will only ever disclose customer information in accordance with a court order or in compliance with a properly served RIPA notice from the Police.
If you use an alternative service provider, you may wish to contact them to discuss their stance on this issue.
Customers should be reminded that peer-to-peer file sharing of this nature is a copyright infringement and is illegal. Upon receipt of one of these letters, or for further legal advice, they should consult a legal professional.
Update (5th January 2009)
It appears Davenport Lyons may finally be forced to account for their intimidating actions! Which? (formerly known as the Consumers' Association) has reported the company to the SRA (Solicitors Regulatory Authority) on behalf of broadband consumers. For details of the actual complaint and for further information see:
- Which.co.uk: Which? challenges bullying letters

One Response
to "Are YOU on the list?"
What worries me is will they start targeting legal P2P file shares? I use a P2P program to share legit files such as concerts by taper friendly groups such as Grateful Dead and videos that produces have urged people to share along with music and video that artists have stated they want people to share, copy etc. Yes, there are artists like that.From what I understand it is impossible to know what is being shared unless it is a set up, it is possible to guess with high probability that someone may be using a P2P program by Internet activity. There are already instances of legal file sharers being accused of illegal sharing just due to their activity.
Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.

You are here:
The NSW Government is making significant investment in regional NSW, including $1.3 billion funding commitment in the 2017-18 Budget. To ensure that this investment is successful in growing business confidence, creating and encouraging business investment, maximising the potential for jobs growth and securing a strong future for our region, the NSW government, through the Centre for Economic and Regional Development (CERD), is working with our local councils to develop Regional Economic Development Strategies (REDS) for a selection of regions, including the Lower North West – which includes Liverpool Plains, Tamworth Regional and Gunnedah Councils.
CERD has engaged economic consultancy, Sapere Research Group, to assist Lower North West Councils and our communities in the development of the Lower North West REDS. The project involves the application of an internationally recognised approach which includes a support team with strong economic expertise to ensure that the Strategy is underpinned by robust data and genuine, effective community consultation. The application of the same approach to REDS across the state means that evidence based comparisons can be made and prioritising areas of greatest need for future funding will be easier.
The Lower North West REDS will provide a clear picture of where we stand in terms of economic opportunities, challenges and strengths. It will also become a vital tool in providing evidence to support applications to Government and other funding bodies for implementation of specific economic development, infrastructure and other related projects.
Local engagement and ownership of the process and outcome is critical to success. We work together as a community to ensure that we capture our existing local knowledge, skills and expertise and broader competitive economic advantages. A set of strategies to address the specific priorities for the Lower North West will only be authentic with the collaboration of local industries, businesses, not-for-profit organisations and the broader community.
Development of the REDS also provides an opportunity to continue working toward a regionally integrated Lower North West area working together toward a strong and sustainable future.
The final document will provide the NSW Government with a clear vision for the Lower North West region and way forward to support economic growth, job creation, investment attraction and community strengthening.

Chris Jackson/PA Wire
George Clooney has had a lot of reasons to thank his agent over the years, what with all the stellar projects he's helped secure for the Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker since they've been together.
But amid all the plum roles Clooney procured with his help, none has meant more to him than the role of Amal Clooney's husband.
The Clooneys, who were introduced by his agent, are celebrating five years of marriage Friday, and they've been as close to idyllic as their lavish wedding weekend in Venice suggested the rest of their lives would be. They've since settled down in South Oxfordshire, about an hour's drive outside London; became parents of now 2-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella; attended a royal wedding; hosted the Obamas and, on numerous occasions, poured time and money into various humanitarian causes.
Or as they call it, a day in the life.

It is puzzling to witness the saga of Gabriel Michael Fisher, arrested last week by Saskatchewan police and charged with eight child pornography-related offences.
Gormley: Name change for sex offender leaves community members in the dark
It is puzzling to witness the saga of Gabriel Michael Fisher, arrested last week by Saskatchewan police and charged with eight child pornography-related offences.
Fisher is the new legal name for Kevin Daniel Hudec, whose long record of child pornography convictions and high risk earned him a long-term offender designation, placing him under constant police supervision.
Just over a month ago, Hudec legally changed his name to Gabriel Michael Fisher. At about the same time, the police were closing in on him for alleged online offences from January.
According to eHealth Saskatchewan, the agency responsible for Vital Statistics, a legal name change can be made within weeks if someone is at least 18 years of age, a Saskatchewan resident for at least three consecutive months and eligible to remain in Canada. No other questions are asked.
Because Hudec/Fisher is a registered sex offender, the Sex Offender Information Registration Act requires him to notify the RCMP about his changed name, so presumably the police know when convicted criminals take on a new identity.
But members of the community, like vulnerable children and their families, do not know.
The Registrar of Vital Statistics may refuse a name change if is not "in the public interest." Is it in the public interest to have a sex offender still serving a sentence hide under the radar by doing an identity makeover?
We deserve better.
Since its 2015 report, the "calls to action" from Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools have been largely practical and instructive in re-shaping the relationship with Indigenous people and finding a way forward.
But as the 94 recommendations assume commandment-like status, it is worth pointing out that some of them are problematic, like the implications on law and policy making by imposing the United Nation's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People on every level of government.
Ditto for ordering the CBC's already bloated state funding to be further boosted. This does little to end the legacy of residential schools.
One recommendation calls on the Pope, as head of the Roman Catholic Church, to issue a detailed apology related to residential schools and to personally deliver the apology in Canada.
As Pope Francis declined and the predictable furor ensued, there was a sense of déjà vu.
In the early 1990s in Saskatchewan, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops came to a national meeting on residential schools and issued an unqualified and thorough apology and promised reparations for their church's role in residential schools.
But the bishops are not the Pope. So, in 2009 Pope Benedict met at the Vatican with a delegation of Canadian Indigenous leaders, personally apologized to them and "expressed his sorrow at the anguish caused by the deplorable conduct of some members of the Church and he offered his sympathy and prayerful solidarity."
At his side, Canada's Assembly of First Nations Grand Chief Phil Fontaine accepted the apology, calling it the "final piece" in the process and saying that it should "close the book on the issue of church apologies."
Surely a time comes when instead of demanding repeated apologies, they be accepted and then built on.
And as Rod Stewart rolled through Saskatoon for the first time in a dozen years, I'd admitted to never having seen him in concert. So, the date night was on.
I am married to a Rockin' Rod super fan. I cannot remember the number of times she's seen him in concert. She can — six, and has travelled to see him in Vegas, even danced on stage with him once years ago.
As we entered SaskTel Centre, me: "Sure are a lot of old people here." Her: "You fit right in."
It was a great night, singing every word from every hit from the eighth row on the floor, a terrific 13-piece backup band and chorus — all led by a consummate showman who had the crowd in his hand. It was an evening to remember, if a few decades late.

Early History of Lane Website
The Lane Community College brand / font was incorporated by Thad Cowdin color scanning Bill Fletcher's business card.
The IT staff at LCC, fought hard for the domain name "lanecc.edu" resisting the trend to use the more cumbersome "cc.or.us" lexicon.
The LCC IT staff took a very controversial academic position to put the college network behind a security "firewall". That decision was pivotal toward the decision to use the CERN httpd web server software, because it was designed to be used as a Proxy Server.
The LCC IT staff registered their web presence with CERN; we not sure exactly where we came in at but suspect LCC's web presence was within the first few thousand or so global web servers with our presence in May / June 1995.
Depending on the timing of our web presence (unofficially the page was visible March - April 1995) LCC's presence was within the first 23,500 global web servers. It is estimated there were around 10,000 servers by the end of 1994. Test mounts of the code were in late 1994 / early 1995. Ref: http://www.mit.edu/people/mkgray/growth/ Google.com alone is estimated to have between 900,000 and 1,000,000 servers as of 2011.
The original web server software came from CERN as source code, had to be compiled and customized on brand new network servers Thad and Bill were in charge of, but they had absolutely no "software" to run anything on the internet. We had retrieved the CERN code shortly before CERN transitioned its invention and support to the W3C..org organization.
The WWW graphic was retrieved from the CERN web site. The creator of that graphic was created by Mr. Robert Cailliau, a key CERN resource, proponent of the nascent WWW, and author of the Samba (MacWWW) browser for Macintosh ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacWWW
The web search references on the lane home page for historical preservation those URLs' went to; one such location has been resurrected: http://info.cern.ch others included:
* Altavista
* Web Crawler
* Meta Crawler (actually searched multiple search engines with a common query)

Are you bothered by the stinky smell in your home? Who isn't? The reality is, your HVAC units are the culprit for this circumstance most of the time. Here are 5 possible reasons why you are having bad smells in your indoor air.
- Failure To Change Air Filters
Air filters should be replaced or cleaned regularly. Depending on the type and design, you may need to do it once every 1-3 months. However, with so many things that keep homeowners busy, they tend to ignore this important maintenance task. Dirty air filters cause different HVAC and indoor air quality problems including bad odors. If not given urgent attention, it can lead to mold and mildew buildup which leads to a very discomforting smell inside your home.
- Lack Of Maintenance
Lack of proper tune-up and maintenance can lead to shorter lifespan of your HVAC units. If not a system breakdown, what you are mostly likely to face is tremendously discomforting smells of your indoor air. This is mostly caused by the accumulation of dirt, dust, and sometimes dead animals trapped inside the system. Never forget to schedule maintenance services to keep your unit in shipshape.
- Dirty HVAC System
When your heating and cooling unit lacks proper cleaning, it is prone to the so-called "Dirty Socks Syndrome". All the dirt and dust stuck inside the unit for a long period of time can develop into bad odor. This is then pumped out of your home when your air conditioning unit or furnace operates. HVAC systems need to be checked regularly to ensure that only clean and breathable air comes out of your vents.
- Dirty Air Ducts
Aside from dirt, moisture can also find its way to your system's air duct. This becomes a perfect place for molds and mildew to grow in large populations. The result, your house can become musty and more risky for allergy-sufferers. Do not wait until a member of your family experiences breathing difficulty before considering a professional duct cleaning. This check-up can improve your safety and comfort big time.
- Electric And Gas Problems
Sometimes, bad odors are caused by faulty electrical wrings and leaking natural gas. Be sure to examine electrical wrings to prevent accidents and issues with your system's motor. If your gas is leaking, do not delay system repair to prevent the dangers of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Whatever it is that is causing your indoor air to smell bad, the experts at Rhino heating and Air Conditioning know just what to do. Call us now to set up your maintenance or check for needed HVAC repairs.

The other day I shared on my snapchat (@keshnadonia) that I'm doing a major clean up.
Here's a little of the progress I've made with the clothes.
I was getting ready to give my shoes away but I was convinced by someone to sell them on eBay. I'll see how that goes and share that update with you.
