The portrait you paint of yourself is heroic and towers above the world you inhabit. To live up to the level of your inner picture is a lifetime job requiring energy, courage and considerable sense of the drama of existence. Private satisfactions are not very important to you; you are less introspective than most. You want to see the tangible evidence of success, and like it best if the rest of the world can see it, too. You are a bit of a show off, but since you are utterly honest with yourself, you can laugh at your own vanities, even when they remain important. You want valuable possessions, well-groomed children, good clothes, accomplishments and evidences of accomplishment that others can applaud. Your desires are basically simple, and your methods of getting them direct; you know what you want and are willing to make sacrifices for them. You won't sacrifice personal integrity, however, or honor, which are the intangibles that do matter to you. Education, culture, art, music, however, matter less. You can take 'em or leave 'em alone; and ten to one, if you do take 'em, it isn't because they really feed your soul, but because you think evidence of such a soul will in some way add to your prestige. Throughout your life you will strive to fulfill an image of yourself which is less a portrait than a statue dominating the landscape of your life by its size, its beauty, the dramatic quality of its setting and the colorful beauty of its trappings. And in becoming this statue you are likely to become a lot of other more spiritual things which you don't even desire and which are added to you because of the honest workmanship that goes into your self sculpture.

Over the last few years a very wealthy fellow by the name of Rex Sinquefeld has been making St. Louis the chess capital of the United States and his progress in that regard continued when he convinced the third highest rated player in the world, Fabiano Caruana to come play here at the St. Louis Chess Club.
The unarguably best chess player in the world, Magnus Carlsen, made the following comment on his Twitter account: … so they are indeed buying nerds.
I'm certain Carlsen was taking a humorous and good natured jibe at Caruana and Sinquefeld and I took no offense at the statement but I did want to examine the idea that Sinquefeld is indeed buying up all the world's best chess players and loading Team United States to become a dominant player in the world. Is this a good thing? A bad thing? No thing at all?
The fact that an extremely wealthy person bought the land and a building which he turned into one of the finest chess clubs in the world is undeniable. That he lured Hikaru Nakamura to St. Louis with a contract that pays him well is a fact. That Sinquefeld also managed to convince the 7th highest rated player in the world, Wesley So, to come to Webster University to play college chess is undeniable. That Sinquefeld hired Susan Polgar away from her chess coach job at Texas Tech is a fact. That she brought her entire NCAA Championship team with her and won the title in 21013 cannot be denied.
None of these people was born in the United States and here they are leading the charge of U.S. Chess. What Sinquefeld set out to do and what he has accomplished are simple facts.
I've got an oar in this boat as they say because I live in St. Louis and belong to the local chess club Sinquefeld started. I love playing chess and having such luminaries around certainly makes things very nice for me. But is it good for someone to be able to essentially purchase the best players and thus championships?
It's clearly been good for St. Louis. It's clearly been good for Caruana, Nakamura, So, Polgar, Webster University, The Central West End (where the club is based), and a host of others. Money is willingly being exchanged for services and all parties seem satisfied. Of course what is good for one group is often times bad for another. Italy loses its finest chess player. Texas Tech loses its championship chess team, the Philippines loses its best chess player (So).
It is clear that this unbridled capitalism has victims as well as beneficiaries.
My bias is undeniable but I still think what Sinquefeld is doing is not only perfectly acceptable but largely beneficial. He is bringing tremendous publicity to the game of chess although certainly the amazing Carlsen is doing that as well. It's a golden era for chess as computers have found new and exciting variations that liven up the game. The internet has brought players from all over the world together to enjoy the game they love.
What Sinquefeld is doing by assembling this group of players is good for chess in the long run but I do see the danger. There are competition laws for a reason. What if Sinquefeld were to pay all the top players in the world to join his club? What if he exerted such influence that anyone who didn't join was colluded against? What if he then started charging exorbitant rates for appearance fees and tournaments because he controlled all the best players?
My argument is that he has yet to do those things and therefore I don't have a problem. Absolute power leads to absolute corruption as they say. It bears keeping an eye on.
Welcome to St. Louis, Fabiano! See you down at the club.

"Fixing" macOS Bluetooth Headphone Audio Quality Issues with Hammerspoon
When Apple delayed the AirPods release, I was worried that they were vaporware.
Well, they weren't. I got my pair, and I bought in to looking like the San Francisco Tech Model Citizen while walking to work (listening to San Francisco Tech Model Citizen approved music, of course). And then I accidentally got another set of Bluetooth headphones, the noise-cancelling Bose QC35, great for the ambient noise in the San Francisco Tech Model Citizen's Open Office. I wasn't specifically looking for wireless headphones, but it seemed wrong to buy a brand new pair of headphones that required an adapter to work with my phone (Dear Apple: you win).
So, in the course of two and a half months I've switched completely to wireless headphones. It certainly feels like The Future but macOS isn't quite up to the task. Notably, when I connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones, the Mac usually automatically sets those headphones as both the system output device and the input device. Unfortunately, macOS then reduces the audio output samplerate to 8000 Hz, down from the usual 44100 Hz. I think this is a Bluetooth hardware limitation, but I'm not quite sure. Either way: it causes everything to sound like garbage.
There's an easy fix, though: once you've connected your AirPods or other BT Audio device, switch the input device back to the default input device (the "Internal Microphone").
That's annoying to do automatically, but there's a great tool called Hammerspoon that lets you automate lots of things like this on macOS. Here's the Hammerspoon script I whipped up (and on github):
-- Avoid automatically setting a bluetooth audio input device
lastSetDeviceTime = os.time()
lastInputDevice = nil
function audioDeviceChanged(arg)
if arg == 'dev#' then
lastSetDeviceTime = os.time()
elseif arg == 'dIn ' and os.time() - lastSetDeviceTime < 2 then
inputDevice = hs.audiodevice.defaultInputDevice()
if inputDevice:transportType() == 'Bluetooth' then
internalMic = lastInputDevice or hs.audiodevice.findInputByName('Built-in Microphone')
if hs.audiodevice.defaultInputDevice():transportType() ~= 'Bluetooth' then
lastInputDevice = hs.audiodevice.defaultInputDevice()
When you connect a Bluetooth audio device, this script changes the input device to the previously selected input device. If you actually want to use the microphone on the BT audio device, you can manually change the input device to the Bluetooth headphones, because the script only automatically switches away from those input devices within 2 seconds of an output device change.
I hope Apple comes up with a nicer way to manage this, but this is a nice and easy fix in the meantime.
A fast & powerful iTunes replacement with mpd, ncmpcpp, beets, and Alfred
I used Windows until 2009, and I was used to disliking iTunes. I figured that Apple was doing the minimum amount of work required to support iPods on Windows. After switching to OS X (macOS), I realized that iTunes just isn't meant to be just a music player and organizer. It does those things, but it's also a tool for syncing media to your phone, a streaming music service, and a weird social network. It's a music store, a book store, a video store, an app store, a podcast store, a music video store, an audiobook store, and whatever iTunes U is.
All of these functions get in the way of the features that I care most about and use on a daily basis: organizing and playing music. The more recent iTunes redesign is pretty (it's hard to dislike the auto-selected colors for the album view) but overall, the software is a bloated usability tire fire.
I've pieced together a fast and powerful replacement to iTunes using a bunch of open source software (mpd, ncmpcpp, and beets) and my favorite do-everything macOS assistant, Alfred. This all presupposes that you, like me, still care about maintaining a collection of digital music files. Otherwise, just get Spotify and move along.
Getting started
This guide assumes you can comfortably edit files, create folders, and run commands in Terminal.
To install the open source software I reference here, you need to first install homebrew.
Library management
It's hard to maintain a clean library of digital music. When you're ripping your own CDs you generally get accurate tag metadata, but we've all downloaded albums that are mistagged or untagged. I'm not even talking about illegal downloads: I've purchased albums from band and record label websites that have no id3 tags at all.
Beets is an open source music library management tool. It takes care of all the tag gobbledy-gook that we need. To install it, enter the following commands in Terminal:
brew install python
pip install beets
Next, create a folder where you want to keep all of your music. On my computer, I created a folder called
beets in
We need to configure beets. Create or edit
directory: ~/Music/beets # Where does the music live?
library: ~/Dropbox/beets/musiclibrary.blb # Where does the beets database live?
move: yes # Move your files to ~/Music/beets after import
plugins: lastgenre fetchart ftintitle mpdupdate smartplaylist random embedart
auto: yes # Embed album art in the music files
To add an album to your new beets music library, run the following in Terminal:
beet import ~/Downloads/Car\ Seat\ Headrest\ -\ Teens\ Of\ Denial
Beets will match your album to an online database and correct its tags. If beets is unsure about what the album is, you'll get a prompt to verify the information. You can also add a bunch of albums all at once, e.g.:
beet import ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media
Once you have a perfectly organized and tagged music library, you'll probably want some way to play it. This is where mpd comes in. Mpd is a piece of software that runs in the background and plays music. It's fast and lightweight—you're certainly not going to miss iTunes in that department.
First install mpd:
brew install mpd mpc
Homebrew will let you know that mpd successfully installed, and give you a line to copy/paste into Terminal that will automatically start mpd when you start your computer. Do that.
Then create and edit
music_directory "~/Music/beets" # Beets music library folder
playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists" # Where do playlists live?
db_file "~/.mpd/database"
pid_file "~/.mpd/pid"
state_file "~/.mpd/state"
sticker_file "~/.mpd/sticker.sql"
port "6600"
auto_update "yes"
audio_output {
type "osx"
name "My Mac Device"
mixer_type "software"
Next, update your beets configuration (
~/.config/beets/config.yaml) to work with mpd:
host: localhost
port: 6600
Make sure that mpd is updated with all your music from beets:
mpc update
The key thing to remember about mpd is that it runs and plays music in the background. There's no user interface to mpd: you need to use a client to control it. When you use a client, you're sending commands to mpd about what to play; so you can open and close clients freely without stopping playback. It's like if you could quit iTunes and still have your music playing.
You can use mpc to control playback with mpd, but you'll probably want something more user-friendly. Here's a laundry list of players you can use to control mpd. I prefer ncmpcpp, a command-line player, because I spend a lot of time in the terminal anyway. And, as you might have noticed, I want a lightning-fast client.
Install ncmpcpp:
brew install ncmpcpp
Here's my super-complex ncmpcpp configuration file (at
ignore_leading_the = yes # Alphabetize "The Beatles" with "B" instead of "T"
Run ncmpcpp in the terminal:
You'll see a playlist screen. (Pro tip: if you're using iTerm 2 v3 and you see a bunch of q's instead of nice lines in the UI, enable this iTerm option.) To browse your music library, hit tab. You can search this screen by typing
/ and then a search term, and hitting
. to find the next match. To go a level deeper in the folder structure, hit return on a folder. To add a folder or file to your playlist, hit space. If you want more control over how it's added, hit
a instead. There's also a slightly cleaner media library view that you can find by hitting
4. To start playback, hit tab again to return to the playlist screen and press return. There's a more advanced search interface available by typing
3—press return on a category, type your query, and hit
y to see the results. You can find out more about ncmpcpp here. Hit
F1 to see the help screen.
You can quit ncmpcpp by typing
q. But remember: the music will keep playing. If you want to toggle play/pause without opening ncmpcpp, you can use mpc from the terminal:
mpc toggle
Sheesh. You're probably used to using the media keys on your keyboard to control audio playback. Those keys are a bit finicky, but we can whip up a nice subsitute with Alfred.
The mappings are:
- Toggle play/pause: ⌥] -
/usr/local/bin/mpc toggle
- Skip to the next song: ⌥\ -
/usr/local/bin/mpc next
- Restart the current song: ⌥[ -
/usr/local/bin/mpc seek 0
I like listening to whole albums, so I added another workflow that lets me type, for example,
a 808s in Alfred to add the album or albums matching "808s" to my current playlist. Alfred and mpd on an ultralight beam:
You can download my Alfred workflow to control mpd.
Syncing with the iPhone
I've shed my dependence on iTunes using beets, mpd, ncmpcpp, and Alfred, but I still need to use it to sync my music to my iPhone. There's an easy way to manage this. First, make sure you remove iTunes's privilege to manage your music library for you. In iTunes, go to Advanced Preferences and uncheck "Keep Music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
We can automatically create a playlist that contains all of our music every time we import new music into beets. Modify
playlist_dir: ~/.mpd/playlists
- name: all.m3u
query: '' # Matches all music in your library
Now, after you import something with
beet import, open
~/.mpd/playlists and drag
all.m3u into iTunes. iTunes is smart enough to only add the new files to your library. Then you can sync with your iPhone and go about your life mostly iTunes-free.
Bonus: Scrobbling to last.fm
If you're obsessive enough to install and learn all these new tools, you are probably a last.fm fanatic like me. It's easy to setup last.fm scrobbling with mpd. First install mpdscribble:
brew install mpdscribble
and run the command that homebrew gives you to start mpdscribble on login. Edit the last.fm section of
/usr/local/etc/mpdscribble.conf with your username and password:
# The port that the MPD listens on and mpdscribble should try to
# connect to. Defaults to $MPD_PORT or 6600.
#port = 6600
url = http://post.audioscrobbler.com/
username = YOUR_LASTFM_USERNAME
password = YOUR_LASTFM_PASSWORD
# The file where mpdscribble should store its Last.fm journal in case
# you do not have a connection to the Last.fm server.
journal = /var/cache/mpdscribble/lastfm.journal
Mpdscribble will now scrobble everything that mpd plays.
Bonus: Ripping CDs (What's a CD?)
CDs are dumb. If you absolutely must, use abcde to rip CDs. It's great (well, as great as a tool can be for turning a dumb thing into a not dumb thing).
brew install abcde cdparanoia eyeD3
Here's the
~/.abcde.conf that I use for ripping CDs to mp3s. You can run it by inserting a CD and entering the command
to rip the CD in the drive. That is, if you even have a CD drive.
Bonus: Backup
I keep my
~/Music/beets folder synced between all of my computers using Resilio Sync (née BitTorrent Sync). You could also use something like Google Drive or Dropbox if you want to pay for those. The nice thing about Sync is that it keeps everything in sync between all of your computers without requiring cloud storage.
You could also use an open source solution here, like syncthing or writing some scripts around
rsync or something. Resilio Sync is easy to setup and works great for my simple use case.
Wrapping up
We did it! We don't need iTunes anymore except to sync to the phone, grumble grumble. It feels great, doesn't it? We went from this:
to this:
while doing nothing but playing a song.
In addition to the obvious benefits you get from using The Right Tool For The Job, each of these tools has oodles of options that you can tweak to perfect your music organizing and listening experience. For example, we barely used any of the functionality of beets, and look at all these plugins!
speecheditor: an audio story editing tool
Today we've released our speecheditor, a web app for editing and adding musical scores to audio stories. Instead of editing speech using waveforms, the speecheditor allows you to edit audio with text, like a word processor. Likewise, it allows users to easily loop musical tracks and add musical underlays à la This American Life. The speecheditor is described in detail in our paper, "Content-based Tools for Editing Audio Stories."
The speecheditor is research code. To that extent, this release is a polished prototype – there are bound to be bugs that arise (please file those on the github issues page!) but we've had a lot of fun editing audio stories with this system and we believe it's a powerful paradigm for DAWs of the future. We're excited to have other creators try it out!
Browsers, Mechanical Turk, and external HITs
I had a lot of experiments running on Mechanical Turk this summer as ExternalHITs. In MTurk parlance, this means that the tasks were hosted on my research group's server and embedded in Mechanical Turk via an
I started posting tasks again recently, and my external HITs were no longer working. Chrome was blocking the content, because mturk is https and my external content was running on http. Thanks to this U Rochester site for steering me in the right direction.
TL;DR: If your external HITs mysteriously stop working on Mechanical Turk (or if it seems like many fewer people are doing your hits than before), blame it on updated browsers and their
draconian new security settings, and start serving https content from your server.
A web-first research methodology
When I started grad school in the Fall of 2011, I didn't consider myself to be an excellent programmer or a hacker or anything like that. On the other hand, I did consider myself to be an exceptional googler and tinkerer; I could usually scrounge up a solution to my current programming problem without much difficulty.
My first research project in grad school involved a javascript-heavy experiment that we were going to deploy to Mechanical Turk. I had done my fair share of tinkering with client-side (HTML/CSS) and server-side (Rails) web development, but I had always avoided javascript. No, I don't know why.
Eager to show my collaborators that I was capable of writing code that worked and writing it quickly, I dove into javascript's prototypical deep end. My code, hideous as it was, worked fine and allowed for rapid iteration.
Just to expand on the aforementioned hideousness, we're talking a whole mess of global variables and inline HTML:
$('body').prepend('Enter your code: <input style="display: inline" id="turkcode" type="text" name="turkcode"></input><button id="codebutton">Submit</button>');
Oh dear.
My intention isn't to call out how bad I was at javascript a year and half ago. I was inspired by the process. That project necessitated that I build a web app, but my projects since then have been more flexible. But all of my (and your, I'm guessing) research collaborators have a somewhat unbelievable number of devices that can access the web, so ideally, my research should live on the web instead of in some C++ or Java code that may not ever be compiled on anyone else's machine.
This idea of web-first research manifests itself it a number of ways:
- Whenever I'm building an interface, I will try to make it a web app
as opposed to a native GUI.
- Remote collaborators can see what I'm working on without downloading and compiling code, getting the proper libraries installed, debugging platform-specific issues, and so on.
- Everyone wants scientists to release their code. Once published, web-based projects are easy to disseminate because they're already running in-browser.
- For each project, I maintain a private website to track progress, results, and ideas. If someone misses a meeting, they can just check the site to see what's going on.
- I like learning new programming languages and frameworks. The web is constantly evolving, so I have the opportunity to learn and extend tons of cool web-related technologies and tools. So far in grad school: web.py, flask, django, node.js, SQLAlchemy, dojo, jQuery, jQuery UI, underscore, coffeescript, docpad and many more. Being able to learn these tools while I'm doing my research is a highly-motivational mixture of work and play.
- Rapid iteration for the web is, well, rapid. This applies to high- level languages in general. Sure, algorithms are going to run a bit slower, but only invest the time in highly optimized implementations if your research depends on it.
Web-first research doesn't make sense for all areas of research, but I encourage other graduate students (HCI and otherwise) to think about these things as they're working on projects.
Site redesign
I'm working on an (admittedly simple) redesign of my site. I may change things significantly from this form because
- I am indecisive, and
- This is fun.
One obvious difference is that there is a section here for "posts." I'm not sure exactly what's going to become of this section. I might end up scrapping it in the future. But for now, it's here. I have a soft spot for blogging. When I first purchased this domain when I was in 7th grade, I wrote a blog that was horribly written and often banal, but my friends kept reading, so I kept writing.
As a graduate student, I probably have more interesting things to say now than I did back then. Probably.

Obscure reference to an old song. You either get it or you don't.
I dreamed that I was living somewhere I wasn't used to. I think it was a big house, and I was either staying there to look after it or had just moved there.
Anyway, I was walking out to go to my car, and as I keyed my remote to unlock the car, I noticed the lights flash. Walk up to the car, and notice that the wheels are different. They were these really ugly wheels that stuck out from the car. And I thought, this is odd. And then I was struck by the fact that someone had stolen the wheels off of my car…but instead of leaving me up on blocks, they replaced my wheels with these crappy things.
And then I noticed the car. It was red, it was a hatch…but it wasn't my car. Yet, when I pressed the button on my remote, the lights flashed like it was locking/unlocking. And then it struck me that someone had a remote with the same frequency. They unlocked my car, stole it, and replaced it with this really ugly thing.
I was a little confused by the effort that had gone into this. I called 911, and a cop came and told me that this sort of thing happens all of the time. But doesn't that seem a little odd, I thought? Someone manages to get your remote, then replaces your car with something similar but junkier?

If your heating or air conditioning system has a problem, you should first check for faulty or incorrect thermostat settings. The placement of the device can influence the readings on the device. Always ensure its location is away from ambient heat sources, such as ovens or space heaters.
If you've checked the thermostat settings and the unit has a continuously running blower, it could be the relay switch. When it is stuck, the blower fan will keep running until it's unstuck. To avoid losing energy, you need to call our 24/7 emergency repair service technicians immediately.
Another reason to call Mountain View Heating emergency repair service in Bend is if the pilot light is flickering. It could be an indication of ignition problems or clogging within the appliance. An unstable flame may also mean there is excess carbon dioxide, which could be a hazard in your home.
You shouldn't ignore any signs of a malfunctioning unit, such as noise from your equipment. A high-pitched squeal could be from an aging blower belt that will need a replacement. Scraping sounds are signs of a worn-out blower belt or loose components within the system.
Other reasons for emergency repairs:
- Seemingly endless cycling
- Carbon monoxide detector going off
- Your unit is not starting
- Smell of burning plastic from your unit
- Sudden breaker trips during cycling

Actually, I have no problem with the world we live in. Politicians are held to incredibly foolish standards, but the rules are for the most part spelled out, so basically that works out reasonably well. But it is sometimes worth pointing out the insanity of it.
What brings this on is this big campaign gaffe, in which Virginia Democratic Senate candidate Tim Kaine managed to mangle his talking points on taxes during a debate, somehow winding up supporting tax increases for those who don't currently pay income taxes. Who are, as we've been hearing all week, in many cases elderly, disabled, or very poor (although there's also a pretty large group who are just middle class but hit all the incentives which, after all, most people support). As Dave Weigel put it:
This is one of the dumbest ways a politician can get tripped up. No one — literally no one — has a serious proposal that would make "everyone" pay a minimum income tax. This was obvious in 2011, when Michele Bachmann was occasionally asked to explain this concept, and muttered some stuff about even paying "a dollar" would learn 'em about how government cost money. Any Democrat, especially a Virginia Democrat, knows that any statement that sounds like willingness to raise taxes can be turned into 100,000 or so TV ads.
The thing is: it's not really Kaine's position. If he wins, he's going to vote the standard moderate/liberal mainstream Democratic line on taxes, supporting increased rates on wealthy people and status quo or tax cuts for everyone else. In fact, that's what he said before he got tripped up, and that's his official position. He's not going to be a crazed renegade from his party on this issue. He just wandered away from his position during a debate.
What should we take from it? It's possible that he screwed up because he was ill-prepared, or because he's not well-versed in public policy in the first place, or because he performs poorly despite knowing his stuff, or because he's just not very bright at all, or even just because sometimes these things happen and they don't always reveal anything at all.
And so in a sane world, here's what would happen. He'd walk it back (which I assume he'll do soon or has already done). He'd take questions from the press, and demonstrate to them that he actually knows what he's talking about on taxes; indeed, the way they covered it would be informed by their prior coverage of him and by how political insiders who knew him in Virginia thought about him, so press coverage of his walk-back would depend on his (earned) reputation plus how well he showed that it was a meaningless slip. And basically it would either totally go away as a story in the first place, or become part of a larger story about how a candidate for US Senate didn't know what he was doing on major issues.
Some of that will, no doubt, happen. And some of it won't. We'll also have people in the press trying to get inside Kaine's head to assess what it "really" means. We'll have some who treat the whole thing as a chance to judge Kaine on a debate performance standard, instead of, you know, reporting on what he's actually done in government and what he would do in the Senate if elected. That's just the press; George Allen's campaign will no doubt run ads on it right up through election day as long as it tests well, regardless of what Kaine says now. And part of the reason that can be successful is because a lot of the press will consider it fair game because Kaine said it, regardless of what he says before and after or how plausible it is that he meant it.
Note: I'm not saying that Kaine should get a pass. I'm saying that if he deserves a pass, this sort of thing should be forgotten, and there are some pretty good common-sense ways to to determine whether he deserves a pass or not — and that in a sane world, that's what would drive, for example, the press coverage. On the other hand, if he doesn't deserve a pass it's because there's a larger story than flubbing an answer in a debate, and that story really deserves to be covered because the abilities and skills of the candidates is generally a story that should be (but isn't) covered.
(I should add here at some point that I don't actually have any sense at all of Kaine's reputation as far as any of this is concerned).
As I said, I'm not so broken up about it not being a sane world. Kaine knew perfectly well that he's supposed to know give the correct pre-packaged answers to debate questions, and while that's not a very sensible test of whether someone should get good press coverage, at least it's a clear and publicized standard. Still, it's worth mentioning that most of it doesn't really make much sense at all.

It seems that this is an idea that Walmart thinks has potential because the company has since announced a new delivery initiative called InHome Delivery. It is as its name suggests, where the person making your grocery deliveries could in theory make the delivery directly into your home. Given that certain produce might go bad if not refrigerated in a timely manner, this could actually be useful.
According to Walmart, "These associates, whose jobs are focused on this service, will also go through an extensive training program which prepares them to enter customers' homes with the same care and respect with which they would treat a friend's or family's home – not to mention how to select the freshest grocery items and organize the most efficient refrigerator."
While there is no denying the usefulness of such a delivery program, it's hard to deny all the privacy red flags that could popup. Will Walmart be able to convince customers of the safety of its program? We'll just have to wait and see as InHome is expected to kick off this fall in a trial program across Kansas City, Missouri; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Vero Beach, Florida.

If you compare the price of a steak knife with a set of kitchen knives, it may seem like they are a little much. But when you use these special knives for their specific purpose – cutting meat – they make certain tasks much more straightforward.
This article will talk about how to care for and maintain your steak knives to ensure that they last longer and stay sharper longer.
Basic Care and Maintenance for Your Steak Knives:
Steak knives are great tools for fast and clean cuts of meat. However, if you misuse them, the blade will dull faster. As a result, the knife will start to fray and chip. This can make it harder to cut through the meat. If this problem continues over time, the blade can split completely or spread apart. Even worse, if you don't sharpen your steak knives regularly, they may break completely or crack in two.
Caring for your steak knives should start from storage. When you're not using them, you should take them out of the kitchen and store them in a dry, clean place. This will help to prevent food particles or moisture from building up on the blade and causing rust.
Keeping Your Steak Knives Sharp
Keeping your steak knives sharp is one of the crucial steps to maintain them. This is especially important for people who don't use their knives frequently. If they are not sharp enough, you may struggle to cut through your steak with ease. As a result, the blade may get dull and chip more quickly than it should.
-You can maintain your knife edges by honing the blade regularly. This can be done with a honing steel, which holds the knife at an angle and cuts very slowly into the steel. This is done a few times a week to keep your blades sharp.
-Another way to sharpen your steak knives is through oil and water. This method uses an oilstone with water on it. After putting the blade at an angle on the stone, it should be rubbed repeatedly across the stone. This will sharpen both sides of the knife and keep it in good shape for another cooking session.
-Many people also use a diamond sharpener to keep their knives sharp. This is especially convenient if you don't want to spend time honing them yourself. It is also helpful because it takes less time to sharpen than it does with oils and stones.
If you take the time to keep your meats clean and follow the food safety guidelines then, you will not need to scrub your steak knives before cooking or cutting up the meat, but if you notice that the meat is not cutting cleanly or food particles are on the knife, you can use a bar of soap and a dish towel to clean your knife.
You will not need to oil your steak knives after every use. However, it is important that you keep them from drying out by applying oil occasionally. It's also important to keep the lube secure so as not to waste it during daily use. A knife oil guard is a great way to keep food particles and moisture out of your knife.
If your knives develop rust spots, you must remove them. It may be a quick fix to rub the rust off with sandpaper. However, the salt will eventually dry out and leave a stain on your knife, which may not come off. If this happens, you should remove the blade from its handle and polish it with steel wool or another abrasive.
Using Your Steak Knives
One of the best ways to ensure that your steak knives stay sharp is to use them properly. When you use them, always hold the blade at an angle. Do not put pressure on the knife blade while cutting with it, as this can damage the edges. Also, cut through the meat at an angle rather than cutting straight down in one direction. This will ensure that you get a clean cut that leaves little to no meat attached to the knife.
Wash your steak knives by hand immediately after use. If you wait too long, you will need to scrub them thoroughly to eliminate all the leftover food particles and grease. This will ensure that they last longer and don't rust or crack as quickly.
If you follow these guidelines, then your steak knives will last for years to come. You can prevent chipping and crack by making sure that your knives are sharp and well oiled during use.
Steak knives can be an investment for a person who is passionate about cooking. However, if you take care of them and maintain them properly, they will last much longer than an average kitchen knife. Properly storing your steak knives, cleaning them when necessary and keeping the edge sharp are all good ways to ensure that they stay in good condition for as long as possible.

CheckM8 Kernel for most HTC One M8 variants released
While CheckM8 has been around for a couple of weeks, it was just announced that it's working 100% with the Sprint and Verizon CDMA editions of the HTC One M8, so I'm just now getting to it.
CheckM8 offers overclocking, Sweep2Sleep, Frandom support, exFAT support, disabled system write protection, Fsync, forced fast charge USB, F2FS support, added voltage control, and is compiled using the Linaro 4.9.1 toolchain.
For One M8 owners who were annoyed that their versions were clocked slower than the international versions, there's a 2.5GHz "overclocked" board-spec version of the kernel, which behaves like the international versions do, as well as a 2.8GHz truly overclocked monster.
I tested out the 2.8GHz kernel, and the phone booted, 4G/LTE connected, and I discovered that 2.8GHz does not run well with my phone. It will boot and function fine until you put it under load, and then it reboots. Your phone on your carrier may be different. The crash didn't hinder me from flashing the 2.5GHz board-spec kernel.
The CheckM8 kernel also seems to change the boot animation, or I've done something and not noticed it. I went from having a Harmon Kardon boot animation to a little logo that says "Android." I could have just flashed something on the side that did that, though.
CheckM8 in action
The CheckM8 kernel is currently being distributed via Dropbox, which is a nice change from everyone using these hosting sites that have 40 fake download links that are advertisements and make you wait ten seconds.
As for performance on the 2.5GHz overclock, I went from 29K to 34K scores on AnTuTu. The ROM I'm running has been underperforming in the kernel side, and I'm not sure what was going on with that, but 33K AnTuTu scores are about where my phone normally is so this is about 3% faster right off the bat.
I'm not entirely sure how well this translates to real-world performance, but for a kernel that seems to cover all the devices, that's a great start.
CheckM8 install
Take the usual precautions – have either a nandroid backup or a spare working stock kernel handy. This kernel seems to be pretty easy to deal with when it crashes a phone due to overclocking (or I crash it due to overclocking and blame the kernel), so minimal nandroid protection is needed.
If you install this and have some benchmarks to report, I'd love to hear them. I'm not sure if the ROM I'm using was responsible for the 29K scores with the H/K changes, or if the HK audio filter was ROM based or kernel. Basically I'd like to know if you get a 17% increase in speed, which is what I got at 2.5GHz on this ROM, or just a 3% which is what I suspect the case will be.[xda-developers]

By Elise Solé, Shine Staff | Parenting
"When I received the email, I was confused because just a few weeks ago, Kaylee had received an award from her principal for stopping a bullying incident at school," Olsen told Yahoo! Shine. "I confronted Kaylee who explained that she had called another girl 'sleazy' for wearing Daisy Duke shorts and a tank top. We've taught Kaylee to dress conservatively but never expected her to be judgmental."
Olsen said Kaylee was not apologetic so in lieu of grounding her which she felt "wouldn't resonate" she turned to Facebook, asking friends for advice on how to handle the situation. By the next day, Olsen had a plan of action. She took her family, who regularly frequented thrift shops, to a local store, pretending it was a routine shopping trip. As Kaylee deemed various articles of clothing "ugly" and "embarrassing," Olsen had her try them on as a joke, eventually telling the fourth-grader that she was purchasing the clothes for her as punishment. "I wanted Kaylee to truly experience the embarrassing feelings she had evoked in someone else by wearing clothes she felt self-conscious in," says Olsen. "The goal wasn't to select clothes that were cheap; it was to buy things that Kaylee herself said she hated." Also, Olsen told Kaylee that she wasn't going to force her to apologize to her classmate; her remorse had to be genuine.
Although Kaylee cried, the next day she headed to school wearing one of the outfits under a coat that she had zipped up to her neck. "When she came home that afternoon, Kaylee said the kids laughed at her for wearing 'pajamas.' She also felt so guilty that she pulled her classmate aside and apologized for her behavior the previous day." To solidify the punishment, Olsen snapped a photo of Kaylee wearing the outfit (her face was blurred to protect her identity) and posted it on Facebook.
By then, Olsen decided that Kaylee had suffered enough—until she learned that she had gotten into another altercation with a second girl. "When Kaylee explained how she had spoken rudely to a friend who was picking on her clothes, I decided that she needed to wear another embarrassing outfit the following day," said Olsen. Kaylee was also made to attend her father's soccer game wearing the clothing and posed for another photo in the outfit (her face was blurred again), which Olsen posted on Facebook. "We wanted adults to see the example we set."
Kaylee, her face blurred to protect her identity, wearing her outfit as punishment (Photo by Fox13/KSTU-TV)Surprisingly, Kaylee handled her punishment gracefully. "What people don't understand is that Kaylee genuinely learned from this experience. She actually thanked me for making her go through that," said Olsen. "I'm keeping the clothes in case she is mean to other kids again. Hopefully one day, we'll be able to laugh about it."
Shaming misbehaved children is hardly news and there's no shortage of parents who turn to social media to post embarrassing photos of their kids or have them stand in the street holding handwritten signs apologizing for bad behavior. But where's the line between a parent airing their family dirty laundry and being inappropriate?
"On the one hand, it sounds like this mother's heart was in the right place," says Kirsten Filizetti, Ph.D. a San Diego-based psychologist. "She was trying to help this girl understand what she had done and teach her a life lesson.
"However, parents should be careful about introducing shame and guilt onto kids as a form of punishment," she says. According to Filizetti, a better plan of action may have been to sit down with the child and understand the motivations behind the bullying, then use that knowledge to expose him or her to children who are different from them. To further the learning lesson, it may also be wise to have the kid sit down with the peer they hurt and listen to how the behavior was hurtful. "It's less important that the bully explain where they were coming from and more important that the victim feels heard," she says.

It is estimated that some 9.4 million people, approximately 2/3 of South Sudan's population, will require urgent humanitarian assistance in 2023.
7.8 million people continue to experience high levels of acute food insecurity, with thousands living in famine-like conditions. Undernutrition is at critical levels for 1.4 million children.
There are 2.3 million South Sudanese refugees in neighbouring countries. More than 2 million are internally displaced.
The EU is a long-standing donor of humanitarian aid and continues to support humanitarian projects helping South Sudanese refugees.
What are the needs?
The transitional government has implemented the 2018 Peace Agreement only partially. The transitional period was extended by 24 months, postponing in effect the new Constitution, the deployment of unified forces and the elections, now due in December 2024.
The security situation is deteriorating, with increased sub-national violence resulting in civilian casualties, new displacements and a very insecure environment for aid workers.
South Sudan is facing the worst humanitarian crisis since independence due to continued conflict and climate change. Some 4 years of unprecedented floods have led to massive displacement and crop destruction.
9.4 million people (including almost 5 million children) will require humanitarian assistance in 2023. Over 2 million people are internally displaced, and 2.3 million have sought refuge abroad.
Some 7.8 million people (2/3 of the population) are expected to face extreme levels of food insecurity and malnutrition in one of the worst food insecurity emergencies in the world.
The health situation is generally very worrying. Epidemic outbreaks, and water-borne and endemic diseases are reported, particularly in internally displaced persons' sites and congested settlements.
The deteriorating security situation has created a very insecure environment for aid workers. In 2022, 9 aid workers were killed, and nearly 420 incidents were reported. So far in 2023, 5 aid workers have already lost their lives in what seems to be a worrying trend.
How are we helping?
In 2023, the EU allocated €82 million for humanitarian actions covering the response to food insecurity, violence and floods across South Sudan.
This also includes:
- €5 million supporting static and mobile interventions on education in emergencies, focusing on primary education for newly displaced and out-of-school children
- €2 million for disaster preparedness.
Food insecurity and malnutrition are at a record high across the country. The EU contributes to reducing excess mortality and morbidity through emergency food assistance and nutrition interventions, including in hard-to-reach areas.
In addition, EU humanitarian funds support addressing critical humanitarian needs through emergency lifesaving activities, particularly when facing new shocks.
EU-funded humanitarian projects also provide protection assistance to displaced people and those affected by trauma and widespread violence, including children, women and girls. The protection of children and women is a priority for the EU given the extreme levels of violence and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.
The EU continues to strongly support principled humanitarian assistance and advocate for the protection of humanitarian workers and their safe and sustained access to all parts of the country.
In addition, in 2021, the European Commission provided €100 million for COVID-19 vaccination in countries in Africa with critical humanitarian needs and fragile health systems. South Sudan received €2.8 million from this funding.

Unique Ways of Using a Personal Loan That You Never Thought Of
A personal loan is an option if you're dealing with a high-interest debt or other financial expenses like a home improvement project. You can use the personal loan amount to cover all such expenses. Moreover, the interest rates on personal loans are typically lower than credit cards, and most personal loans are unsecured, meaning they don't require a guarantee. Unlike mortgages or auto loans, personal loans aren't set aside for a specific purpose — you can use the loan amount for almost any reason.
With this in mind, let's look at some of the unique ways to use a personal loan.
- Weddings
Every individual dreams of throwing a lavish dream wedding. To fulfill that, people spend years of hard work to match the budget. However, your personal savings solely cannot suffice if you wish for a grand wedding. A personal loan for a wedding ensures that all the resources are managed to provide you with a grand ceremony. Apply for a personal loan online and ease all your needs to make your wedding extra special.
- Car purchase
The swiftly growing car market has led to an increase in demand for cars. Owning a car has now become a basic necessity it is not only about luxury & comfort but more about practicality, convenience, and functionality. However, the money that goes into purchasing a car is enormous. While savings deplete easily, you can think of availing a personal loan.

The Propane Research and Education Council (PERC) reports there are close to 220,000 propane (or LPG) powered vehicles on the road in the United States. These vehicles include school buses, cars, trucks, police cars. Additional equipment like tractors, golf carts and around 670,000 forklifts that are not normally on-road vehicles. Wildhorse Propane, the Paso Robles propane company supplies the propane that keeps these vehicles operating.
Propane powers vehicles similar to gasoline. The propane is stored in liquid form inside a separate tank then converted to vapor inside the combustion chamber or converted to liquid and burned just like gasoline and deliver highly similar performance to conventional gas-powered vehicles.
Propane-powered vehicles are available from original equipment manufacturers or can be converted by means of a converter kit. Most kits that have earned EPA approval and are properly installed by a qualified mechanic won't void a manufacturer's warranty.
Advantages of propane power
Propane is one of the most environmentally friendly fuels in the market and is the most-used alternative fuel in the nation. Domestically produced, propane has been used in vehicles since the 1970s. The United States is the leading producer and exporter of propane in the world.
- In propane injection engines, liquid propane doesn't vaporize until it reaches the fuel injector, delivering more precise fuel control and improved engine performance.
- Propane-powered vehicles often have fuel economy comparable to similar gas-powered vehicles but propane costs less per gallon that gasoline, saving thousands of dollars over time.
- The high octane rating (104 to 112) compared to gasoline results in less wear on the engine reducing maintenance costs and repairs. Because propane burns cleaner that gasoline, the oil is cleaner even when it's time for a change.
- Tax incentives may apply, although the incentives may change from year to year.
Where to fuel up
Because of the growing popularity of on-road propane vehicles, fuel stations are gaining a presence across the country. The United States Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center website publishes a map identifying the location of over 1800 propane fueling stations across the United States and Canada. Specific locations can be found by searching on zip code.
Wildhorse Propane, the Paso Robles propane company, also delivers throughout Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz counties. Deliveries include residential, commercial, farms and ranches and more. As an added benefit, Wildhorse Propane also identifies several local propane fueling stations at the bottom of the home page.
Local, family-owned Wildhorse propane makes propane deliveries as easy as possible with regularly scheduled deliveries to fill home and business tanks and deliver portable cylinders for fueling equipment. The company offers on call and emergency services as well. Serving the four-county area since 1980, the family-owned business has deep roots in their hometown, King City, and practice the principles of fair prices, good service and timely delivery.
Call Wildhorse Propane for propane tanks, propane delivery and check out the propane appliances for your home or office.

WiSe 16/17: Wartime/Peacetime: Physics in Nazi-Germany, World War II and After
Elvira Scheich
The positions of physicists towards the NS-regime featured the full range of conducts and experiences: refugees, collaborators, resistance, followers, survivors. However, with the discovery of nuclear fission and the subsequent efforts to utilize the enormous released energies the physicists left normalcy and be came major players in the further development of World War II. During the first part of the course we will study these historical changes through the biographies of the participants. The war ended with the atomic bombs over the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. In the second part of the course we will look at how the professional memory of the recent past was constructed. How did physicists see their responsibility and what were the actions that were taken? Which differences became acute during the Cold War and how were they related to the events in the past?close

Wild Waters: Inside a Voyageur's World is bound to captivate anybody who has ever canoed, even if you have only canoed the North Saskatchewan between Genesee and Devon. The riverbanks are so high, it often feels and looks like untouched wilderness.
Written by Cree author Larry Loyie with Constance Brissenden, the story features a young hero named Tomma, based on Loyie's real-life, great-great-great-great grandfather. Inspired to write about Tomma after the authors read the original trip diary in Peace River: A Canoe Voyage from Hudson's Bay to Pacific, Loyie completed one-third of the book with his partner and co-author, Constance Brissenden, before his death.
Brissenden says, "Finishing the book was the hardest, most painful writing challenge of my life." She completed the project by sticking to the in-depth outline and by "channelling Larry. He told me, 'Have Tomma say what I would say, and do what I would do.'" Guided by these principles and leaning on the knowledge Loyie shared, she resisted any urges to write text just to sound good. "Even though it is fiction, Larry wanted truth." Loyie was determined to combine his creative vision of Tomma's life with the entries in Chief Trader Archibald McDonald's journal to honour the unacknowledged voices of history.
Tomma, an Iroquois teenager, signs the Hudson's Bay contract and becomes a company man and a voyageur. The omniscient narrator uses Tomma's believable voice and perspective to tell the story of the historical voyageurs. Readers also learn about the competition between the Hudson's Bay and the North West men.
Determined to win the competition for furs and profits, George Simpson, called the Little Emperor of the Hudson's Bay Company, sent two canoes and 16 men to conquer the great Fraser River. Tomma was one of those men. The Cree called Simpson, Okimaw, the King.
It was no secret Simpson held grudges against the 'Nor'Westers' for wrestling the Bay for every inch of profit. Both sides stole from each other's forts, burning them down if they could.
Readers, you will be captivated from the moment four-year-old Tomma learns of the river's spirit and power to when he becomes a voyageur. He trades furs for woollen blankets with the iconic colour strips of red, yellow, green, and indigo, in addition to rifles and copper pots. Read about drownings, hypothermia, broken limbs, and voyageurs left onshore to survive as best they could when they could no longer pull their weight. Enjoy the adventure, competition, intrigue, and conspiracy. While many know vague details of the fur trade, there is much more to know and acknowledge.
The riveting story also helps readers recognize how the fur trade needed the First Nations peoples' skills, strength, and canoeing prowess until the furs were gone. As Loyie often said about Indigenous people, "Then they pushed us aside."
During the height of the fur trade, Tomma and his fellow paddlers coped with gruelling, endless paddling and hefting 90-pound packs of furs to portage through heavy brush and mud bogs. The voyageurs started their days paddling without breakfast, further surviving dehydration, bad water, pesky blackflies, and dangerous animals.
Loyie said, "No matter what the era, people have the same thoughts, interests, and desires."
He wanted to show the perspectives of Tomma and others as thoughtful people seeking to create their own paths in life. You can now experience it all through Tomma's eyes. Purchase your copy at Audreys Books.

Casual talk that the Toronto Argonauts would play their 2008 exhibition game at the outdoor BMO Field in June have been put to rest by the club president Michael Clemons. The idea of the Argos moving to the city-owned (and MLSE managed) outdoor facility has been floated by a number of public officials unassociated with the Argos in the past year. The benefits seen in such a move is providing a outdoor stadium with a more intimate setting for the Argo crowds than the current home, Rogers Centre. An exhibition game at the stadium would be used to gauge fan interest and possibly speed along BMO Field expansion plans.
For any Argo plan to move home stadiums, though, it appears the horse will need to come before the cart. BMO Field lacks a CFL regulation field size (with reports than end zone stands will have to be demolished to accommodate the field) and capacity for the Argos to play there. In 2007 the Argos averaged 31,000 fans at Rogers Centre, so BMO Field would have to be expanded 10-15,000 seats from the current 20,000 person capacity to accommodate their crowds. The stadium may have been built to allow the expansion of another 10,000 seats (which the current tenants, the Toronto FC, may soon need), but that may be short of the capacity the Toronto Argonauts need to grow their revenues enough to continue to be viable.
While an alternative, it is an expensive one at $20 million whether incurred by the public or the Argos. Right now it does not make sense for the Argos to consider, even for an exhibition game. The local owners have made great inroads in expanding their fan base, to the point now where they are averaging over 50% of capacity. Argo owners Howard Sokolowski and David Cynamon will continue to want to grow what they have started, and Rogers Centre provides a place where they can do that. There is no reason to believe that they will not do so.

05 Mar Microsoft tells Bay Area and Puget Sound employees to work from home if possible as coronavirus spreads
Satya Nadella, chief executive officer of Microsoft Corp., speaks during a Bloomberg event on the opening day of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2020.Simon Dawson | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesMicrosoft is encouraging employees in two areas hit by the coronavirus to work from home if they can for the next few weeks. The new rules affect the Puget Sound area in Washington that includes Microsoft's headquarters and California's Bay Area.Several technology companies have been putting provisions in place to keep work going while trying to minimize exposure to the coronavirus, of which there are at least 93,000 cases, according to the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 virus was identified in Wuhan, China, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."Consistent with King County guidance, we are recommending all employees who are in a job that can be done from home should do so through March 25," Microsoft executive vice president Kurt DelBene wrote in a blog post on Wednesday. "Taking these measures will ensure your safety and also make the workplace safer for those that need to be onsite. Please let your manager know that you will be working from home, so all our teams remain well coordinated."The new direction applies through March 25, DelBene wrote.Employees who need to be on site, like those who staff retail stores and data centers, should go to work as usual, except those who are over 60, pregnant or have a compromised immune system or health condition, wrote DelBene, who cited information from Washington state's King County, where Microsoft is headquartered. Such people should consult with their managers, and sick people shouldn't come in, he wrote. Prolonged interaction with others in close proximity should be limited, he wrote.Microsoft is suggesting that people postpone trips to its Puget Sound and Bay Area campuses unless they are essential, and all business travel that isn't essential in areas the coronavirus is affecting should be canceled, DelBene wrote.More than one-third of Microsoft's 151,163 employees work in the Puget Sound area as of Dec. 31, according to the company's website.Earlier this week Microsoft announced the cancellation of a conference that it had planned to hold in the Puget Sound later this month. Facebook and Google have canceled developer conferences that had previously been scheduled. And Amazon and Google have sought to prevent certain employee travel. On Wednesday videoconference software company Zoom said it has told employees as its San Francisco headquarters to work from home. On Monday San Francisco-based Twitter advised employees to work from home if they can.King County and San Francisco have both declared a state of emergency.WATCH: School superintendents on coronavirus precautions

There is no one in the world, who has not been impacted in some ways by ongoing pandemic circumstances. Stress & Anxiety related to employment woes and sickness & the horrific end of human life almost have disrupted the way we use to think & live. Tech Enabled Classrooms have come into light.
All is not bad, however, as someone once has told me, an exit on one side is an entry if looked from another side, and in the same way, the situation had allowed us to look for a shining light amid grips of darkness. We saw that sitting at home means we wanted a way out, and while pre-COVID there was no need for us to be online other than some entertainment & connecting beyond the borders, the COVID crisis pushed us to look at the use of the Internet beyond traditional ways.
Look at the education scenarios in the world these days, for example, The one thing that comes to mind when we talk about education is pen and paper, but today, everything is being done online, studies, use of reading material, even unit tests.
Who had thought education could be paperless one day? But here we are, doing it digitally, learning every day, moving with technology. We still read books, we even write notes, the only difference being, earlier, i.e. before the COVID 19 pandemic, online education was not so relevant, but today it is the only way we can think of study unless we want to risk our lives.
The current infrastructure of schools is not compatible to handle our learning population following social distancing; it is almost impossible to imagine kids following precautions when even adults in India sometimes behave irresponsibly.
Online study is for one very good for saving the environment as it avoids excessive usage of papers, pens, and other stationary stuff but also with the use of different applications those are helping in this endeavour means we understand technology by being more close to it. Not to mention, the cost of infrastructure and maintenance it saves for everyone involved if done well.
The flexibility of timing is one of the most significant advantages of Tech Enabled Classrooms as teachers and students both can do multitasking while learning or teaching online, for example, time management is easy & quick by smart use of the calendar, no worries in parents mind about their kids travelling by unfit school buses and unsafe Indian roads, lots of knowledge at fingertips comes handy when solving online assignments, etc.
Convenience is another advantage of online education. Edutech classes are convenient in many ways such as location, timing, data distribution,
Immediate assessment and results are yet another advantage to online classes. In certain cases like MCQs, True False, GRWs, etc. the results are evaluated immediately. Additionally, the teachers may not have to go through
multiple copies to grade tests if a suitable application is used, which is beneficial for both teachers as well as students in a way that both saves time & helps in the proper evaluation of pupils.
Edutech classes are the need of the hour and soon might be an ongoing process in our daily lives. Pandemic or not, we should get used to the best practices that can help us all make the best out of our own capabilities. Imagine a standard phone vs smartphone (and that is how we can look at regular class vs class enabled with technology.
We at eduTinker offer the most modern cloud based School LMS software for the evolving needs of today's educational institutions. Learn more about us .
