#2. Incendiary Ajna of a One Magdalena to Ignite High Psychic Union with Solaria
Story snippet #2 excerpted from
The Aqueous Transmission by
MIKE EYE
…from Episode One / Chapter 7…
…A bruised, miserable Magdalena wearily pushed herself up, dusted herself off, and again looked around, trembling despite herself. In the Moonlit darkness, she could see piles and piles of wrecked mortar, broken cement structures, and pieces of bricks and wood, completely destroyed, all coated with a dark, slimy, shadowy substance. She dared not imagine the types of foul odors that were wafting through the air beyond her helmet. Nor the powerfully activated energies of intense radiation poisoning the spoiled atmosphere. The detonation of the mighty, most momentous sperm-bomb of Fletcher Munsin had no doubt hit within the past hour, the woman surmised.
Noxious gases of a sick symphony plumed up from the hot surface of Earth's black opera, dancing to a Damned discord with the thick rhythm section of a murky sky, whirling around with effervescent particles of filth fiddles, adding their high-pitched staccato shrills to the overly melodramatic, but oh-so-empty theatrics. Blood and oil and other various expedient liquids seemed spread out over the surface of everything. Unidentifiable junk was scattered everywhere. Lina saw deep craters blown into the surface of what had Once been the Earth, dared not look into them. No structures remained standing; no trees nor any other life-forms were still existing. Death and decay had seized everything.
As far as she could remember, Mother Magdalena had never seen anything like this before.
As soon as her Heart-rate decreased a bit, the Mother paused to contemplate her updated predicament. Where was she to go? What was she to do? Why was she even to have any desire of living in a post-apocalyptic world of such sheer devastation? "Because your purpose is to procreate prolifically, no matter what!!" she answered her question aloud, remembering what Solaria had demanded of her. She had done a rather good job at that, she thought, up until the fission had fortunately finally finished off the family circle of the fatherland…
….The front-end of the ship was buried beneath the ruins, appearing as if it had made a direct nose-dive, smashing full-force into the devastated planet. It was a disturbing sight to behold, and Lina for some reason felt that there must be some special explanation for her having survived the crash. Wincing as a pulse of pain flared up through her head-wound, Magdalena continued to question her purpose in the renewed world. A thickening dark smoke was drifting upward from the downed craft, and she could see a fierce, hungry blaze overtaking the greater part of it.
"Wow, I made it out just in time," she thought to herself.
Turning her back to the blazing wreckage, she trudged aimlessly through the dark slimy gook of her dead land with a heavy sigh. She started to feel severely depressed.
After having trudged through the ruins for about fifty yards, she heard a loud explosion behind her. She turned around to see her destroyed spaceship engulfed in flames, which had just ignited a combustion as it had come in contact with the ship's fuel supply tank. She stood and watched as the flames grew thicker and thicker, the dense black mushroom puffs they produced bellowing upward, dispersing with the morbid exhaust in the sickened sky to create a sinister smog of gloom that offered the Mother a swoon.
Magdalena stared through the dome around her head at the menacing blaze flaring upward, her Eyes bulging. She felt a forceful urge to immerse her vision within the fire, its flickering flames reflecting themselves over her glassy Eyes as she glared at it in a trance.
"Thank you," she murmured faintly.
Then, the Mother felt forced to focus her glance to the center of the largest of the beckoning flames which was bluish-white and brilliant and at the heart of the wreckage. She instantly felt a powerful connection with it. And abruptly, the dread Lina had been feeling instantly turned to bliss, and she looked on in wonder. She felt as if she were hallucinating, but she knew she wasn't. At least she didn't think she was.
The flames possessed her and she became One with them.
Her consciousness now spiraling inside an enchanting void, Magdalena could feel the bluish-white naval of the flame communicating with her. Through her Eyes, it spoke to her in the language of infernal malice. And through her slashed forehead it shot a heavy stream of radiance, un-tapping a supreme, archaic, psychic knowledge…

…."MOTHER MAGDALENA!" it spoke out, not with words, but with a voice of pulsating, psychoactive, telepathic illumination. Her spirit was directly locked onto the center of the flame, embracing its offerings…
[{<<# SEKRET SKRIPTURE STATED HERE BY SOLARIA, SPECIFICALLY SECLUDED FROM ANY ONLINE SOURCE #>>}]
….Fixed in an endless reverie, a blank expression on her face, Magdalena's Ajna chakra had become fully stimulated, and blood now gushed outward from the gash in her forehead, bursting through the bandaging, squirting all over the inside of her helmet's transparent dome, completely obstructing her view with a crimson flush. Proving that she could not be disconnected in any way from the almighty nexus now communicating with her, the triple optics of the Mother then pierced through the ruby veil of her helmet's dome with activated brainwaves of eternal intent, physically parting the obstructing splattered blood outward from three small, perfectly rounded areas of the blood-soaked dome around her Head, correlating to her three beams of vision.
Magdalena continued to listen to Solaria, staring, all-Eyes, directly into the depths of the inferno……
"WHAT THE F*@# DOES SOLARIA SAY NEXT TO THE ONLY WOMAN NOW LEFT ON FUCKED-EARTH??? 😲 'NOTHING,' YOU SAY??! WRONG!! I, MIKE EYE, CAN TELL YOU FOR A SOLID FACT THAT SOLARIA DOES INDEED 'SAY' SOMETHING NEXT!!!!" 🌞

Why Rich Americans Are Fleeing To The Caribbean This Winter
Rich Europeans and Americans are flocking to the Caribbean, but not for the usual winter sun. More and more wealthy individuals are moving for longer periods than usual.
Citizenship advisers, government agencies and real estate developers say they have seen a rapid increase in business over the past few months. Even luxury hotels say they are booking in guests for long-term stays.
The increase in American arrivals has been most stark, they say. Mohammed Asaria, whose Range Developments is working on a new Six Senses resort, says U.S. citizens are coming to "hide it out.
"You've got the election coming. That's number one. You've had Covid and certain places in the U.S. have been challenged through that, and more working remotely."
U.S. inquiries for residential villas at Secret Bay in Dominica have jumped 66%. "It's the first time the U.S. has gone through a period like this and it's not just the Covid-19 situation," says Gregor Nassief, its proprietor. "It is the fear of what an extreme outcome on the left or right may look like after the presidential election."
Secret Bay in Dominica
Others are keen to escape with new-found working from home freedoms. "Digital nomad is not a new thing," says Petra Roach, head of Global Markets for Visit Barbados. "Before we didn't really think about it."
But then in July Barbados launched a new 12 month "Welcome Stamp" designed to attract remote workers to the country. Since its launch there have been around 1,100 applications, 42% of which are from the U.S. British and Canadians are the next largest nationalities to apply.
Hotels Run Out Of Rooms
Barbados's new temporary residents are checking into Airbnbs while real estate agents rush to find rental properties. Hotels are even offering long stays. Both the Hilton and Marriott in Barbados have announced month-long packages.
But the wealthier clients want something more than just a hotel room. Many want actual citizenship of the islands where they are staying. Barbados does not offer this but Grenada, Dominica and other Caribbean nations do.
"Citizenship By Investment," or CBI as it is known, first started in St Kitts and Nevis in 1984. Traditionally it attracts Chinese and Middle Easterners who want a passport with more travel freedoms.
But in the past few months it too has seen an increase in U.S. inquiries. "We have seen an uptick in applications from the U.S. for people who want an alternative passport," says Les Khan, chief executive of the St Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Normally the two-island nation hands out passports to investors who never visit their country. This year is different: Its new citizens actually want to come to the islands. Some want to stay.
A house on St. Kitts
This is putting a strain on the supply of government approved real estate projects that qualify for citizenship. A minimum of $200,000 must be spent on real estate to access citizenship, but currently only approved developments count and most of these are linked to hotels.
"We're looking at alternatives outside of our hotels," says Khan. "Individuals are looking for opportunities outside of those hotels and get access to our citizenship through private homes. It's something that we're exploring."
This is largely due to a change of lifestyle, he says: "Individuals who are from the U.S. apply for St Kitts passport are doing so to want to come and change their lifestyles and live on the island."
Six Senses Residential Villas
Grenada is also having to come up with more room. Range Developments Six Senses resort will include a branded residential component in Grenada. "People want a second or third home in a place where they're not going to be affected by any of this should a second or third wave come," says Asaria.
More Americans Renounce Citizenship
Real estate is not the only path to Caribbean citizenship. St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica and Grenada allow a contribution to a sovereign fund as an cheaper route. Citizenship advisers tout Caribbean passports for their visa-free travel freedoms, or, in Nassief's words, "A useful insurance policy" should things at home go awry.
However, more and more duel national Americans are renouncing their U.S. citizenship. A total of 5,816 Americans gave up their citizenship in the first half of this year, a 1,210% jump on the previous six months and more than double 2019's total says Bambridge Accountants.
"The huge increase in U.S. expats renouncing from our experience is that the current pandemic has allowed individuals the time to review their ties to the U.S. and decide that the current political climate and annual US tax reporting is just too much to bear," says Alistair Bambridge, partner at Bambridge Accountants New York.
Tax reporting plays a large part in this: The U.S. is unique in requiring its citizens to pay tax wherever they are domiciled. Most of those renouncing are likely to have moved abroad several years previously. However, some now armed with a Caribbean passport and the power to work from wherever they want may have decided to take the leap.
Mohammed Asaria is Managing Director and Board Member of Range Developments, an international luxury hospitality development company that develops luxury resorts in the Eastern Caribbean under Citizenship-by-Investment programs. Mr. Asaria has a dual background in law and investment banking.

The Black Parade takes listeners on a journey through the death of a man dubbed "The Patient." This track reveals the driving force behind the protagonist's death — cancer. It expresses his agony as he asks to be told the truth.
In an interview, frontman Gerard Way said that, while the song is literally about cancer in one sense, it is being used as a metaphor at the same time.
A little-known fact about the song is that lead guitarist Ray Toro played bass on the studio track instead of Mikey Way.
In an interview with NME Gerard Way spoke about the tragic, bleak tone of the song.
It's not a poetic track. It's very direct, very brutal, but that's the way disease is. Obviously, cancer is being used as a metaphor.
But I also wanted the song to be directly about the disease because it's something that the patient has gone through and it's a very powerful thing. For me, it was almost like an attempt to write the darkest song ever, and I think we achieved that.
In an interview, Frank Iero said that "Cancer" was his favorite song on the record.
Other than vocals and piano everything just really supports that and it's just a very intense song. […] A very sad story. It's hard not to listen to that song.

Shillelagh, coal, and Brexit!
In a week that has been dominated by Brexit, it is interesting to reflect on the unlikely connection with a charming little village in South Wicklow – Shillelagh. This is one of the prettiest villages in Ireland and is very much a "estate village", with the houses and main buildings all having been built by the local "big house", in this case, Coolattin, Irish home of the Fitzwilliam family until the 1980's.
The Fitzwilliams were, by the standards of the time, liberal, progressive and fair landlords, and provided employment and education for their tenants. However, it is interesting to see how the family fared in the twentieth century when social changes swept through Europe, following two World Wars.
Their wealth was immense. At one stage their Irish holdings amounted to over 85,000 acres – more than a fifth of Wicklow, and their Irish home, Coolattin was no small house, but it paled in comparison with their main house – Wentworth Woodhouse, the largest privately owned house in Britain. Consider this – 300 rooms, over 250,000 square feet with five miles of corridors! And stuffed to the gills with wonderful furnishings, paintings, sculptures and surrounded by a large park with a famous pink shale avenue. One of the reasons for their wealth was the fact that their lands were built on large coal seams and at one stage they employed over 115,000 miners and Peter, the Eighth Earl, was considered to be the richest man in England and offended Labour Party Minister, Manny Shinwell by paying 8,000 guineas for a race horse during the second world war. He was to get his revenge on the Fitzwilliams by requisitioning their mines and insisting on open cast mining taking place right up to the back door of Wentworth House, tearing up the park lands, as illustrated by this photo, published in The Sphere.
Peter Fitzwilliam was a colourful figure. He was married at a young age to Olive Plunkett, a member of the Guinness family . Theirs was a large wedding in St Patrick's Cathedral, followed by a reception in St Anne's, Raheny, now a large public park in north Dublin. The marraige produced one daughter, Juliet, but Peter seems to have had a roving eye, and the couple became estranged. In 1946 he met Kathleen 'Kick' Kennedy, sister of John F Kennedy and widow of the heir to the Duke of Devonshire. Their affair caused a rift between Kick and her family who disapproved of Fitzwilliam, his past, and the fact that he was Protestant. In an effort to gain the approval of Joe Kennedy the couple agreed to meet him in Paris and chartered a private plane to fly to France. They flew into a storm and all on board were killed.
Both the 9th and 10th Earls were childless and the title died with the death of the 10th earl in 1979. By this stage Wentworth had become a teacher training college and was sold on the death of the tenth Earl. Today, moves are afoot to restore the house and parkland to its former glory.
And what of the link between Shillelagh and Brexit? Juliet, daughter of Peter and Olive Fitzwilliam, consistently appears in the rich lists – currently estimated to be worth £45 million. Her daughter, Helena De Chair married one of the most ardent Brexiteers – Jacob Rees Mog. Occasionally referred to by fellow parliamentarians as the "right honourable member for the Eighteenth Century", he is socially conservative, extremely wealthy, and has been a controversial figure in the chaos that is the run up to Brexit. And who knows what the future holds for the United Kingdom after March – the Rees Mog family might yet be in the queue for Irish passports!!

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the Ghana's health infrastructure hard and many hospitals do not have the capacity to adequately serve their communities. The government has commenced a vaccination program and many restrcitions have now been lifted.
Our local church parnters in Ghana are starting to resume normal program activities for registered children and their families. Many continue to meet with children in small groups or at their homes in order to slow the spread of the virus and keep staff, families and children safe. Letters and gifts are now being distributed normally.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, local workers have distributed more than 274,000 food packs and over 243,000 hygiene kits to families in poverty. Check out the video below to hear a recent update from Compassion in Ghana.

How is Compassion currently operating in Ghana?
Are Compassion centres open?
Many child development centres in Ghana are meeting in small groups to hold classes on a rotating basis, take updated photos and write letters, while some have been able to resume normal activities.
Some centres have been able to work with local radio stations to air curricula for students at home. Others make home visits and phone calls to check on children and their families. Staff continue to handle health screenings, emergency medical care, child protection interventions and disaster response for children as needed.
Are children receiving letters?
Letters are being delivered normally in Ghana. We encourage you to continue sending your sponsored child letters of encouragement and hope. Letters are the best way to get to know your sponsored child and their family!
Are gifts being delivered?
Gifts continue to be distributed in Ghana. Staff members have been given the option to disburse monetary gifts to caregivers, where appropriate. This applies to family gifts and child gifts (including birthday and final gifts). Families may spend the gift on whatever they consider most important to meet family needs. The caregiver will decide the best use of the money, recognising that sometimes purchasing food or paying rent is in the best interest of a child.
How you can pray
Thank you for praying for children and families in Ghana who have been impacted by COVID-19—and the local staff and churches who continue to serve them in difficult circumstances.
Please join us in praying for the following:
Pray that each child would experience God's love in a life-altering way.
Pray for the physical, emotional and spiritual protection of each child.
Pray that God would provide the right volunteers to serve and care for the children in their communities.
Pray that God would bring peace and discernment to the leadership team in Ghana.
Pray for the continued healing and quick recovery of those who have been feeling unwell.
Pray for God's continued peace for the nation of Ghana.
Pray for Ghana's leadership as they actively work to utilise resources to support and care for the Ghanaian people.
Success for a survival project in Ghana
When Comfort fell pregnant at 17, she not only faced fear and confusion at the prospect of being a parent, but her family disowned her. "My father had plans for me to further my education, but he was disappointed in me for getting pregnant. He washed his hands of me and did not care what became of me," says Comfort.

When Comfort fell pregnant at 17, she not only faced fear and confusion at the prospect of being a parent, but her family disowned her.
"My father had plans for me to further my education, but he was disappointed in me for getting pregnant. He washed his hands of me and did not care what became of me," says Comfort.
Comfort and her partner, Robert, were left to endure a pregnancy in poverty. It wasn't long until Comfort became very weak—although she never drew attention to it, as she was worried her family would taunt her for falling pregnant.
Despite her condition, Comfort agreed to carry one of her aunt's twins to the local child development centre so that she could register in the survival project. Unbeknownst to her, this would be a decision that changed her unborn child's life. God intervened.
As soon as she arrived at the child development centre, concerned staff noticed she was anaemic and highly malnourished, and immediately registered her in the survival project. "If I had not been registered, I would not have been sent to hospital and I would not have been alive to give birth," says Comfort.
With medication and ongoing checkups, she recovered and soon gave birth to a healthy baby girl she named Emmanuella—meaning 'God is with us'.
Survival project staff regularly visited Comfort, offering her lessons in health, hygiene and preparing nutritious meals, and encouraging her to attend the clinic to monitor Emmanuella's growth and development. She also received monthly food supplements such as rice, beans, oil, milk and fish. The program staff even paid for her hospital bills.
Though fathers don't normally join survival project activities, Robert made a point to attend with Comfort to show his support and gratitude. The local church was also able to counsel and guide Robert and Comfort to improve their marriage.
Emmanuella is now a healthy and vibrant seven year old. She transitioned from the survival project into the Child Sponsorship Program; she's now able to gain an education and has a new hope for her future. And Comfort has saved to meet her goal of becoming a hairdresser to support her family—with the child development centre pitching in to see her dream come true.
Both Robert and Comfort are thankful to the local church and Compassion for helping them to realise a brighter future.
Please note: Due to the current pandemic, some Compassion child development centres are still meeting in smaller groups or conducting home visits. Many have now resumed normal activities.
A snapshot of Compassion's Child Sponsorship Program in Ghana
Compassion's program is contextualised across countries and communities, as well as age groups.
Children aged 1 to 3 receive home-based care.
Children aged 3 to 11 visit the Compassion centre for eight hours on Saturdays.
Children aged 12 to 14 attend the centre for eight hours per week and serve as peer mentors to younger children for two of those hours.
Students aged 15 and older attend the centre for four hours every Saturday.
Compassion Program Activities in Ghana
Compassion assisted children in Ghana typically attend program activities at their local child development centre on Saturdays. Here is an example of what a typical program day looks like for children in Ghana.
9:00am - A time of prayer and devotion and breakfast. A typical breakfast usually consists of maize porridge, milk, sugar and bread.
9:30am - Spiritual lessons, when children sing songs and learn Bible stories.
10:30am - Break time, when children can play in a safe environment and develop friendships.
11:00am - Social-emotional lessons ranging from conflict resolution to developing healthy self-esteem and godly character. Children often come from challenging home environments and are taught social and personal skills.
12:00pm - Lunch and social time. A typical lunch generally consists of rice with sauce and either chicken, fish or meat, with seasonal fruit. Food is usually provided as children don't always have access to nutritionally balanced meals at home. Parents are educated to provide nutritious food for their children, and highly malnourished children are given extra support, including a package of nutritious food such as eggs, milk, beans, rice and oil, once a month.
1:00pm - Health lessons, in which children learn practical health and hygiene tips including how to prevent malaria and HIV.
2:00pm - Letter writing and career planning. Older children work with local staff to identify their strengths and interests and set goals for their future.
Older sponsored children also take part in skills training workshops such as bead and batik making, soap preparation and basket weaving. Parents and caregivers are offered health education classes as well as quarterly training on children's rights, parenting, and business and financial management.
The greatest needs impacting children living in poverty in Ghana
of people live below the poverty line
of people lack access to improved sanitation
mothers die from pregnancy related causes per 100,000 births
Ghana was the first sub-Saharan nation to throw off colonial rule and the first to halve its extreme poverty rate. It continues to be a leader in West Africa as more children pursue their education and living conditions improve. Yet growing inequality means that the poorest are falling further behind.
Ghana has changed significantly in the past few decades. More people are moving to live in urban areas; more children have the opportunity to stay in school longer; the economy is diversifying away from subsistence agriculture (although agriculture remains an important source of employment and income) and it continues to grow.
Despite fluctuations in the economy, millions of Ghanaians have risen out of poverty, particularly from extreme poverty. Between 1991 and 2012, the poverty rate dropped from 52 per cent to 21; the extreme poverty rate fell even more sharply, from 37 per cent to nine. The under-5 mortality rate in Ghana has also come down in that time.
But economic conditions have worsened in the past five years and these gains are under threat. A gap is widening between the richest and poorest. Those left in rural areas bear the brunt of low incomes but the people crowding into expanding cities face the problems of rapid urbanisation: greater congestion, dangerous pollution, lack of access to safe drinking water and other basic necessities.
Nana Akufo-Addo won the presidential election in December 2016 and recently declared that his nation would be a "shining example" when it came to meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals and lifting people out of poverty. He also announced 2019 to be the "Year of Return", marking 400 years since African slaves were taken from their homeland and shipped to the USA—and encouraging the African diaspora to return to Ghana.
At the coming 2020 election, President Akufo-Addo will face off against the opposition party's John Mahama (himself a former President) for the third consecutive time. A key issue will be who has the stronger plan to restore a faltering economy and help the most vulnerable Ghanaians to overcome the challenges of poverty.

With almost universal access to the internet and the rise of the online archive it may appear that the entire history of recorded sound is only a few mouse clicks away. However, the 2008 discovery in a Paris archive of a phonautograph recording of Au Clair de Lune from 1860 demonstrated that fragile treasures remain to be discovered by the dedicated explorer.
Felix Kubin has spent the last 5 years investigating, tracking down and collecting a stunning selection of hitherto neglected recordings from archives and private collections. With an eye for the antique curiosity, and an ear for the curious dusty beauty of abandoned transmissions from the past, he is now proud to present this first collection of historical recordings.
The recordings presented here offer many and diverse pleasures from the analogue realm. Amongst the jewels offered are chronicles of eccentric machines, alleged occult occurences on telephone exchanges, drunken whalers, marine plankton, music hall entertainers, Nazi attempts to play proto-synthesizers, uncategorisable oddities, and lost documents by originators of the avant-garde.
This deluxe vinyl only edition is presented in lavish packaging including a booklet which contains an essay by Felix Kubin, extensive notes on each track and illustrations.

Is the Blue Jays' new draft strategy cause for celebration?
On Monday, Major League Baseball (MLB) held it's (oddly in-season) amateur draft. This has become an important annual event for Blue Jays fans, who have had more to cheer for at the draft (because the team has spent buckets of money to purchase talented players other cost-conscious teams have shied away from) than during the rest of the season itself (since the Jays have not spent on the free agents that might have pushed them to contention). Sadly, this year, even this small pleasure has been snatched from us with the revised rules to the MLB draft that limit the amount teams are allowed to spend on players. Or so I thought. In fact, Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopolous seems to have found a sneaky way around these pesky rule changes.
The devilish little fan version of myself masquerading as a Blue Jay perched on my shoulder tells me (chirps to me?) that I should be delighted by the new Blue Jays draft strategy. Has Anthopolous found a new market inefficiency ? Is drafting college seniors and then paying them a fraction of what MLB says they should get for their draft slot--in order to conjure enticingly over-slot offers for high-upside high school seniors--not exactly the sort of wizardry a fan should celebrate? Well, yes... and no.
This is why the fan on my shoulder has a distinctly satanic quality: over and over again, fandom produces and legitimises behaviour that would (I hope) otherwise be viewed as unethical. In this case, as it so often does, the fan lens conveniently transforms human, labouring athletes into objects that can be manipulated by a team towards the goal of winning. College seniors who want to play professional baseball have no choice when confronted by a low-ball offer but to accept it (unlike high school players or college juniors, who may reject the offer and re-enter the draft in a subsequent year). This means that they will labour for the team--risking debilitating injury--for an even lower wage than they previously would have received. These are precisely the sort of professional athletes who put the lie to the notion that athletes should not be seen as exploited given their multi-million dollar wages. Most professional athletes will have careers, like these college seniors, which pay little and leave them with damaged bodies.
In a sense, the Blue Jays have found a way to twist a system engineered to improve equity between teams of varying market sizes (previously, big market team paid big bucks to sign high-upside players with later draft picks who fell to them because poorer teams feared being unable to sign those players) into one that is even more inequitable for the players themselves. Top prospects will continue to reap huge signing bonuses, only now, this money will come from the pockets of other players instead of the coffers of mega-corporations.
Clearly, this is a structural problem with the MLB slotting system more than an insidious product of Anthopolous' imagination. Nevertheless, as a human agent with considerable power, the Blue Jays GM has the ability to treat these young men right. That he won't is little cause for celebration.

Hybrid Format Solves Online's Student Engagement Challenges
Robert T. Monroe | Director of the Online Hybrid MBA Program at the Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University
The hybrid approach provides a best-of-both-worlds approach to graduate education for students and faculty.
As students become increasingly non-traditional, the demand for highly convenient, flexible approaches to degree completion is rising. However, it's critical that, in providing such flexible options for learners, institutions don't ignore the non-academic elements that make their programs truly great. In this interview, Robert Monroe reflects on his own experience launching the Tepper Online Hybrid MBA and discusses the challenges in creating a student experience for hybrid learners that matched the on-campus offering.
The EvoLLLution (Evo): What is the Tepper Online Hybrid MBA and why did you decide to launch it?
Robert Monroe (RM): Carnegie Mellon has been an innovator and leader in education for decades. About five years ago, it became clear that online communication and collaboration tools had improved enough to substantially recreate and enhance a student's experience in the classroom. We had developed substantial infrastructure and expertise in using these technologies to improve students learning in our on-campus classes and effectively delivered classes remotely to students on Carnegie Mellon's satellite campuses throughout the world.
After extensive evaluation and focused experimentation, we developed the Online Hybrid MBA, which allows us to deliver the same MBA program at a distance as we do on campus: the same classes, taught by the same professors, to the same standards. We saw an opportunity in the MBA market for a highly selective MBA program delivered part-time and at a distance. Once we had proven that we could deliver a program that met our high quality standards, we launched the Online Hybrid MBA.
Evo: What are the advantages of running a program in a hybrid model rather than entirely online?
RM: Fundamentally, human interaction drives learning. We have found that our students greatly value the direct, personal interactions they have with their instructors and peers. The hybrid model, which requires students to meet in person six times per year and participate in live online sessions with their professors weekly, provides students the flexibility of an online program as well as the rich human interactions and intangibles of a traditional in-classroom program.
The Online Hybrid MBA has three different modes that students use for their coursework—live classes and sessions during Access Weekends on Carnegie Mellon campuses, live weekly online classes and discussion sessions and asynchronous online modules. These three distinct delivery formats provides a variety of tools for professors to create quality learning experiences for students—each delivered in the manner that is best suited for the task at hand.
Neither a purely online nor a purely on-site approach provides that flexibility, but a hybrid model can.
Evo: What were some of the challenges you faced in taking the program from concept to reality? How did you overcome these obstacles?
RM: Initially, we had expected the biggest challenge to be delivering high-quality classes. However, that turned out to be relatively straightforward given the quality of our professors and their existing use of technology. Faculty who have taught in the Online Hybrid MBA have enjoyed doing so and found the process of adapting their courses to a new format not only allowed them to deliver a quality online course but also improved how they taught on-campus.
What we underestimated was the importance of the intangibles of an MBA program and how difficult it is to recreate them when your students are located around the country (and to a lesser degree, the world). The Access Weekends are the solution and provide an invaluable opportunity to bring the student cohorts together for the networking, leadership development, professional development, corporate visits and alumni talks that round out an MBA education. Feedback from students is that Access Weekends are the best part of the program. We have also developed a variety of ways for hybrid students to interact, both virtually and in person, with on-campus students through student clubs and global recruiting treks.
Evo: How have students responded to this hybrid model?
RM: Resoundingly well. Our current Online Hybrid MBA students are the program's biggest supporters. Our students chose the Tepper program for a variety of reasons, but ultimately their decision was to enroll in a top-tier MBA program that does not require them to take two years off of work or move to a different city. The Online Hybrid MBA program provides the flexibility they need to continue working and advancing their careers, wherever they may be living, while still earning a degree from one of the top-ranked MBA programs.
Evo: From an administrative perspective, what are some of the key differences between managing a hybrid program and managing a traditional, face-to-face program?
RM: From an administrative perspective, our biggest challenge was recreating the intangible experiences outside of the classroom. In our on-site programs, a lot of learning takes place through students spending time together outside of class—in student clubs, leadership development seminars, guest speakers, case competitions, etc.
We provide similar experiences for our hybrid students and have been more deliberate in coordinating these experiences for the online hybrid program in comparison to our on-campus programs, where these events tend to happen more organically.

The blend of convenience and interpersonal connection makes the hybrid approach an ideal learning option for working professionals.
Bringing cohorts together on weekends is critical to create the non-academic learning environment so crucial to a successful graduate program.
Mimicking the face-to-face students' connection to campus in the online and hybrid format is a major challenge that directly impacts the student experience.

Christie hug of Cowboys owner costly
Christie known as a big spender but secretive about how much public money used for travel.
Christie hug of Cowboys owner costly Christie known as a big spender but secretive about how much public money used for travel. Check out this story on app.com: http://on.app.com/1IfpYmm
Bob Jordan, @BobJordanAPP Published 5:42 a.m. ET Jan. 5, 2015 | Updated 10:57 p.m. ET Jan. 5, 2015
Gov. Chris Christie (right) hugging a group that includes Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones Sunday night.(Photo: Twitter)
In Christie's first campaign for governor in 2009, travel expenses became a campaign issue. Democrats criticized him for spending beyond federal guidelines on business trips as U.S. attorney.
TRENTON – Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones paid for Gov. Chris Christie's trips to watch the team play, his office said Monday, adding that the gift does not violate state ethics laws.
However, New Jersey taxpayers remain on the hook for undisclosed expenses incurred by Christie's security detail.
Christie and his family were flown to Texas for Sunday's game by private jet. The cost to Jones for the transportation and game tickets was not available. That was Christie's third Cowboys game with Jones picking up the tab. Christie went to the Dec. 21 game in Dallas, but Jones didn't pay for flights; Christie's family was already traveling in the area. Christie was also a guest of Jones when the Cowboys played in Philadelphia a week earlier.
Christie said he plans to keep following the Cowboys when they face the Green Bay Packers Sunday in the second round of the playoffs.
"I hope to," Christie said Monday on WFAN's "Boomer & Carton" radio show.
Jones and the NFL received benefits when Christie and New Jersey hosted last year's Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium — the stadium and all parking were made available rent-free to the NFL, for instance. But things are not entirely cozy between Christie and the NFL: Attorneys for the league and Christie are currently in court on a lawsuit over sports betting. The NFL opposes legal betting on its games.
Christie spokesman Kevin Roberts said the governor's acceptance of gifts from Jones complies with the Code of Conduct for the Governor, adopted under then-Gov. Jim McGreevey in Executive Order 77.
Roberts cited a passage that says a governor "may accept gifts, favors, services, gratuities, meals, lodging or travel expenses from relatives or personal friends that are paid for with personal funds."
Another passage reads: "The governor shall not accept any personal gift, favor, service, or other thing of value under circumstances from which the governor knows or has reason to believe that such personal gift ... is offered with the intent to unduly influence him." The Governor's Office has said Jones and Christie are merely good friends.
The trip to Texas on Sunday resulted in Christie's awkward hug of Jones when the Cowboys clinched the victory with a sack of Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Stafford. The Cowboys have long been marketed as "America's Team," but they are held in less esteem by local NFL fans.
Running for president:What is Chris Christie waiting for?
During his political career and while serving as U.S. attorney for New Jersey, the governor has gained a reputation as a big spender when traveling at public expense. He also has been secretive about how much public money is used for his travel.
Christie strayed outside New Jersey frequently over the past year on Republican Governors Association-funded political trips. There has been no full accounting of costs incurred by New Jersey taxpayers on those trips. State Police officials say they have no records detailing the cost of protecting Christie when he goes away. Christie has upcoming political trips to Florida, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Ohio, Maryland, Iowa and Illinois.
In Christie's first campaign for governor in 2009, travel expenses became a campaign issue. Democrats criticized him for spending beyond federal guidelines while on business trips as U.S. attorney.
Christie occasionally billed taxpayers more than $400 a night for stays in luxury hotels. He exceeded the government's hotel allowance on 14 of 16 business trips he took in 2008.
Quiz: How well do you know Chris Christie?
As governor in 2011, Christie initially refused to reimburse taxpayers for $2,500-an-hour flights he took on state-owned helicopters to watch his son's high school baseball games. One trip included a leg from Montvale, where a baseball game took place, to the Drumthwacket governor's mansion in Princeton, where Christie and his wife, Mary Pat, met with a group of wealthy Republican donors from Iowa.
Under pressure, Christie eventually changed course and said that he would reimburse the state $2,151 for helicopter transportation to the baseball games, and that the state Republican Party would pay $1,232.29 for the trip from the game to Drumthwacket.
When Christie went to the 2013 Super Bowl in New Orleans, it cost New Jersey taxpayers $8,146 in airfare for Christie and his wife and two aides, plus $7,583 for three hotel rooms. The governor's room at an unidentified hotel cost $3,372, according to documents released in response to a lawsuit by The Record of Bergen County.
Government watchdogs often have a difficult time learning how much Christie's trips cost taxpayers, with his attorneys arguing in court filings that Christie and his staff are exempt from New Jersey travel rules that govern state employees, or that the Governor's Office does not have the records.

WHO IS LIZ GIBBONS? Liz Gibbons grew up in the Boston area where she earned a BA with an Art History minor from Newton College, followed by a Certificate of Architecture from the Boston Architectural Center. Liz received her March from the University of Oregon, and practiced in Massachusetts and California. She served as 2009 AIASCV President and 2008-2010 AIACC Board Member. In 2017, Liz was elected a national Strategic Counselor by the American Institute of Architects.
Liz moved to San Francisco, and for 10 years was an Associate with Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Quade and Douglas working on major transportation projects including BART extensions and Light Rail systems for Santa Clara County, Baltimore, Austin and Denver.
In 1990, Liz was tapped to take on the conversion of Campbell Avenue. The project would be a game changer for the city. The redevelopment of Historic Downtown Campbell would ultimately revitalize the downtown core and create an undeniable sense of place. Once again downtown Campbell Avenue became a two-way street. New sidewalks, parking, street lighting, parks and landscaping were all part of its economic development, which would include the creation of Ainsley Park and the Orchard City Green.
Liz's life changed as well. She had moved to Campbell and her connection with Campbell took root with the "Great Gatsby Event", a benefit for the newly relocated Ainsley House. Liz volunteered on the Ainsley House and Historical Museum Board and joined the Country Women's Club. All punctuated with her chairing the successful 'Save Our Library' campaigns in 2005 and 2013.
For Liz, Campbell proved to be a community committed to its heritage, quality of life and future, a place Liz proudly calls home. A place Liz has served, in various roles, for more than two decades.
As licensed California Architect, with more than 35 years of business experience, Liz's core skill is working with people to define the problem and identify a range of solutions. Previously, Liz was a Senior Architect and Project Manager covering master planning, design and construction of community colleges, residential high-rise towers, and the design of art museums. Prior to joining the San Jose team, Liz ran a sole-proprietor firm. Her clients included Silicon Valley Fortune 500 and pre-IPO companies.
DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN GOVERNMENT: In 2014, Liz Gibbons became the fourth woman elected to the Campbell City Council. In 2017, she became Mayor. During her years of service, Liz has developed extensive working relationships with elected officials in Silicon Valley, throughout Santa Clara County, State officeholders and federal legislators. As a Campbell City Councilmember, Liz has served on various county and regional boards.
Prior to 2014, Liz served 17 years as the Campbell Planning Commissioner. In this capacity Liz garnered significant understanding of city codes and ordinances, which included time on the General Plan Committee in 2000, and the 2009 and 2015 Housing Element updates. Recognized for her leadership and depth of knowledge, her colleagues on the Campbell Planning Commission elected her Chair for a third time in 2010. It's this depth of knowledge that enables Liz to ask the tough questions, as the city explores the current General Plan Update.
As Councilmember, Liz tracks the budget annually for consistencies and abnormalities. She questions how revenue will meet projected expenditures, and identifies potential new revenue options such as Commercial and Traffic Impact Fees.
Liz understands how all the pieces — budgets, ordinances, guidelines and codes – must fit together to maintain Campbell's stability and quality of life. She wants to be ready for any economic fluctuations or potential natural disasters. Liz is deeply engaged in the politics of addressing affordable housing and homelessness. Most importantly, she wants to make sure our neighborhoods thrive.
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Liz has the professional background to make sure Campbell carries positive momentum into the future. This includes Bond Measure O, which the city placed on the November 2018 ballot to upgrade Campbell's public library and police facilities both constructed in the 1970s. With 40 years of professional experience, Liz understands the complexity of what needs to be built and at what cost. She consistently questions assumptions and requires the facts to assure that our tax dollars are well spent. As a licensed architect, Liz managed design and construction budgets from $5M to $100M. Under her direct supervision, teams of 5 to 25 staff produced exceptional on-time and on-budget work resulting in repeat clients. Additionally, Liz was LEED AP certified in 2004.
Outside of work Liz has volunteered with Rebuilding Together and the San Jose Museum of Art on the facilities committee. Over the years she volunteered with S4CA in San Jose's Yerba Buena High School, working with students interested in architecture and engineering.
Making decisions about the future of Campbell requires integrity, innovation and inclusion.
To get there means asking the tough questions, studying the issues and being transparent. Why? Because nothing is more important than ensuring Campbell retains its unique sense of community; its innovative thinking; smart growth philosophy, and inclusive spirit.
To date, the city's governing has a proven track record.
· Campbell has award-winning financial management.
· Public Safety Services have been vigilant in balancing safety with positive community relationships.
· Our prized parks are well maintained and updated, and thanks to a $1M Santa Clara County grant, we will have an 'Inclusionary Play Area' at John D. Morgan Park.
· Road replacement and resurfacing continues to receive significant funding increases from local and state resources.
Yet, we must not become complacent with these achievements. We must build on these accomplishments and remain educated and prepared as we guide our city into the future.
Land Use Planning envelops our entire future. What we build, and where we build, determines sources of revenue and our sustainability. Campbell must not wait for the General Plan update to address the impacts of the mega development – spearheaded by tech-giant Google and the City of San Jose – around Diridon Station and San Jose's Urban Villages. We must be proactive and involved. The outcome will affect all Campbell residences. We need to plan, now.
Implementation of Measure O results in functional and safe facilities corresponding to the needs of the 21st century. Tangible and intangibles contribute to the quality of life in Campbell, chief among these a sense of safety and a place to experience new things. To meet our expanding population, Campbell's Police Department personnel have increased over the years. Expansion space is in a triple wide modular located in the parking lot. Restrooms are in the main building. Likewise, the Campbell Library has not been updated or expanded since constructed in 1975. The configuration of rooms does not meet the program requirements for the range of relevant activities and resources now part of every library.
Campbell needs to learn from the successes of other Silicon Valley cities, like Cupertino, San Jose, Sunnyvale, that commercial and traffic Impact Fees provide local funding for affordable housing and traffic mitigation. I recognize that Campbell shares many situations and solutions with our surrounding communities. Because we are often at the mercy of state governance, I've established strong relationships with state legislators to make sure Campbell has a seat at the table. I serve on numerous county-wide and region-wide boards to achieve our city's short- and long-term goals. Veterans and foster youth, as well as hard-working families and mentally challenged individuals caught in the tornado of high-paying job growth.

Tibetans celebrate the beginning of a new year with Losar festival
ANI, March 2, 2006
Dharamshala India -- It was a joyous occasion for all Tibetans, as the people from Tibet are colloquially addressed, who conducted special prayers to mark "Losar" or, the beginning of a new year this Tuesday.
Dressed in traditional colourful costumes, the Tibetans living as refugees in Dharamshala, participated in various religious ceremonies held to pray for the prosperity and well-being of the entire world. It is a significant day for all.
The word Losar has been derived from the Tibetan word "Lo" which means "Year" and "Sar" stands for "New". The celebration of Losar can be traced back to the pre-Buddhist period in Tibet. During this time, when Tibetans practiced the Bon religion, a spiritual ceremony was held every winter, in which people offered large quantities of incense to appease the local spirits, deities and protectors.
This religious festival later evolved into an annual Buddhist festival, which is believed to have originated during the reign of Pude Gungyal, the ninth King of Tibet.
Samdhong Rinpoche, Tibet's exiled Prime Minister, lauded India for supporting them in preserving their culture and customs.
"We are in exile but we have all the freedom, and we are able to preserve our culture and spiritual tradition and we are doing everything and I think this is only possible in India because we are in India. We are grateful to the people of India for giving us this support and freedom," heaid.
Meanwhile, Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetans, could not attend the new year celebrations as he was observing a spiritual retreat. But the people here prayed for him.
Legend has it that this ritual of celebrating Losar commenced when an old woman named Belma introduced the measurement of time, based on the phases of the moon. This festival took place during the flowering of the apricot trees of the Lhokha Yarla Shampo region in autumn.
It is widely believed to be the first-ever celebration of what has become the traditional farmers' festival. It was during this period that the arts of cultivation, irrigation, refining iron from ore and building bridges were first introduced in Tibet.
The ceremonies, which were instituted to celebrate these new capabilities, are also viewed as precursors of the Losar festival. Later, when the rudiments of the science of astrology, based on the five elements, were introduced in Tibet, this farmer's festival got transformed into Losar or New Year's festival.
In Tibetans' new year, the calendar is made up of twelve lunar months and Losar begins on the first day of the first month. In the monasteries, the celebrations for the Losar begin on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth month. That is the day before the Tibetan New Year's Eve. On that day the monasteries conduct the protector deities' puja (a special kind of ritual) and begin preparations for the Losar celebrations.
The second day of Losar is known as King's Losar (gyal-po lo-sar) because officially the day is reserved for a secular gathering in the hall of Excellence of Samsara and Nirvana. His Holiness and his government exchange greetings with both monastic and lay dignitaries, such as representatives of China, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Mongolia and other foreign visitors.
Then from the third day onwards, the people and monks begin to celebrate and enjoy the festive season. In Tibet, before the Chinese invasion, Losar used to be celebrated for fifteen days or more. Today, it is joyously celebrated for three days in India.


But hate to see its spoilation almost week by week.
But hate his silly penchant for felling lordly trees.
But hate his marring vacant plots with bottles, crocks and cans.
But hate the nasty sticky stuff these minima attain.
But hate to plod the branching paths with clods on toe and heel.
But hate the crimson patches they paint upon the toes.
There is no hatred in me then, I want to shout aloud.

Cubs have just as good of a shot at the NL Central as anyone else
By Nicholas D. Blazek
Mandatory Credit: David Banks-USA TODAY Sports /
It seems like no one, including the Cubs, actually wants to win the NL Central.
So who is going to win the NL Central this year? The Cubs? What about the Brewers or Reds? Heck, even the Cardinals are a question mark. The Pirates? Well, no because they're awful.
Everyone in the division seems to be entering 2021 in a weaker spot than they were a year prior, the Cubs included. Chicago traded Yu Darvish and Victor Caratini to the Padres, with Willson Contreras potentially available on the block, as well. That would leave the club with no catchers, by the way – just some food for thought.
On top of that, the Cubs let Kyle Schwarber and Albert Almora walk. Jose Quintana, too. I don't know what's going on with Jon Lester. Despite earlier reported interest in a reunion on both sides, there's been little in the way of progress. Given the club's dire need of arms, maybe they can bring him back on a one-year deal with an option for 2023. After all, he's heading into his age-37 season.
That means, once again, you're betting heavily on Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javier Baez and Contreras offensively. Hopefully, Jason Heyward and Ian Happ can build on their performances from a year ago. On the mound? At least in the rotation the only familiar faces are Kyle Hendricks and Alec Mills.
Cubs might have uncovered a diamond in the rough in Franmil Reyes
Nelson Velazquez has a long-term role to play for the Cubs
Do the Cubs really need to go spend on a superstar shortstop?
Gazing into our crystal ball to see the staff of the 2026 Cubs
Cubs: Erich Uelmen's lack of usage has been puzzling
Chicago netted Zach Davies from the Padres, and he's probably your number two starter right now. The bench isn't great. Sure, you have Phil Ervin and Max Schrock. But neither are even sure-things to make the roster out of camp.
And what about the division opponents? Cincinnati is going to lose Trevor Bauer and are actively shopping Sonny Gray. Milwaukee has to have Christian Yelich rebound and their pitching is pretty suspect. The Pirates? Call me in five years and we'll see where things stand.
Which brings us to St. Louis. A perennial contender, the team went just 30-28 in the shortened 2020 season. The problem is since non-tendering Kolten Wong, the team has done little to improve – and are yet to bring back franchise icons Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright.
Next. Cubs will be fine without a GM. dark
It's a toss-up. The Cubs clearly aren't spending. Rather, they look like they're poised for a significant sell-off. The good news? No one else in the division seems to be putting any effort in improving either. Get ready for a whole lot of pedestrian baseball in the NL Central in 2021.


What is education if it can not help develop imagination and curiosity in a student. AR helps bridge this gap that our current education system has brought in where innovativeness takes a back seat for better grades. AR provides real-time experience to its users. In a learning environment, AR can help promote critical thinking by stimulating multiple sensories of students' brain. This not helps in better understanding of concepts but also motivates learners to study further.
Making classrooms and reading materials interactive means the users are more involved in the learning process and can fire up 3D-models and other AR experiences using their mobile phones, which helps in better understanding of concepts at the same time helps learners assimilate new information faster and easier. AR can facilitate playing around with the material, rotating it and instantly read facts and useful information about it.
Using 3D physical models and artefacts is very expensive and more often than not needs regular replacements to do away with the ones which have wear and tear, most schools do not have enough budget and funds to buy all the additional learning material that is required. AR becomes cost effective as its buy once use forever, it can be used by each student individually. Since it works off a mobile device, AR is ubiquitous.
In subjects like chemistry and biology, Augmented Reality can help students view models more naturally, moving them around to view it from various perspectives, rotate or scale it as one pleases. This helps in examining properties of various shapes etc. with more precision.
Using Augmented reality, storytelling can become very powerful, it will help students visualise and interact with the story itself. It can not only motivate students to learn but also make it effective. This will stimulate imagination of the students and will help them discover things about themselves that they didn't know existed. Every lesson becomes a new journey which helps students be interested in it and curious to discover this new AR world.
A chinese proverb when translated to english means "Tell me and I'll forget, Show me and I may remember, Involve me and I'll understand." Learning is way easier when multiple senses are involved. By creating AR experiences for classroom lessons, classes can be used to develop stronger memories and better understanding, it is not same to hear or read than to touch and experience it.
Augmented reality in education can improve the learning curve by offering practical knowledge. Students often need a hands-on experience to completely understand a concept, which where AR can pitch in. It can motivate and make students more interested in learning.

Mornings around our house typically involve a lot of bleary-eyed animal wrangling with infrequent interludes of serene calm involving both breakfast and the news. Last week, Paul upped the ante when he started classes for his second Masters degree, this one in Public Health. Between full time work, a 2 hour commute each day and now evening classes, we needed a new weekday breakfast strategy. Enter Strawberry Rhubarb Baked Oatmeal in jars. In this smartly conceived dish, Strawberry Rhubarb Baked Oatmeal is cleverly baked up in small canning jars, which, when cooled, can be lidded and refrigerated for up to a week for later reheating. This is a winner breakfast that we warm-up in the morning with a dash of milk, perfect for eating on the go. For those of you who are unfamiliar with baked oatmeal, it is somewhere between a less sweet fruit crisp and porridge (oatmeal) and thanks to being chock full of whole grains and nuts, it makes for a substantial breakfast. We found the addition of strawberry and rhubarb at the bottom of the jar to be a good incentive to keep digging into our baked oatmeal. Warmly spiced with cinnamon and orange, Strawberry Rhubarb Baked Oatmeal is a filling, healthy, and make-ahead way to tackle morning meals for busy week-days. This recipe is adapted from The Sprouted Kitchen.
Preheat the oven to 375. Set out six small mason jars (1/2 pint or pint size) with their lids.
In a small bowl, mix together the fruit bottom ingredients (rhubarb, strawberries, sugar and orange juice) and divide the mixture evenly between the 6 jars.
Mix together the dry oatmeal ingredients (oats, walnuts, cinnamon, powder, sugar, salt and orange zest). Divide the oat mixture between the jars, putting approximately 1/3 cup oat mixture in each jar on top of the fruit.
Whisk together the wet oatmeal ingredients (maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, butter and milk). Pour approximately 1/2-1/3 cup over the oat mixture in each jar, you want to soak the oat mixture completely without excessive liquid pooling around the top. Pour slowly if your jars are getting full at this point, the mixture will absorb and seep to the bottom. This is a very forgiving recipe, you can easily use less of the egg mixture if your jars are getting too full, or simply add more milk to the jars if you don't have enough of your egg mixture to fully cover the oats.
Place jars on a baking sheet and slide onto the oven's middle rack. Bake for 30-35 minutes. The baked oatmeal is done when the liquid is absorbed and tops are beginning to brown.
Remove your baked oatmeal from the oven, let cool and sprinkle the tops with strawberries and toasted coconut, pour over any additional milk or maple syrup to your taste and dig in!
Once cooled completely, put lids on any leftover jars and refrigerate for later use. When we reheated ours we added a bit more milk to moisten the oatmeal.
Note: If you'd like to serve this dish as a breakfast for a crowd, it can be baked in a 9 x 13 baking dish. No other changes are needed.
