Cost of a Degree
When considering ability to pay for college, the annual cost is often discussed but it's the "all in" multi-year degree cost which matters in the end. Let's take a look at what it could really cost for four years at University of Cincinnati Clermont College.
Estimated 4 Year Cost at Published Tuition
At the current published rates, an estimated total tuition, fees and living expense price for a 4 year bachelor's degree at University of Cincinnati-Clermont College is $93,088 for students graduating in normal time. This methodology for estimating the 4 year cost is a straight multiple of the most recent reported annual total cost and does not factor in tuition increases during the time you're in school. It also assumes you receive no grant or scholarship aid and pay the full list price.
A potentially more accurate but less conservative estimate of a degree cost can be made by using the school's annual $12,381 in-state net price as the basis. Applying this cost over 4 would estimate the cost of a degree at $49,524**
If you end up on the "five year plan" and need an additional year to graduate, your five year cost could be as high as $116,360 or $61,905 using an average net price.
**Based on a 4 year multiple of Average Annual Net Price for in state students receiving grant or scholarship aid reported to the U.S. Department of Education's 2019/2020 IPEDS Survey. Financial aid is only available to those who qualify. Consult this school's net price calculator for further understanding of your potential net price.
Cost Per Credit Hour and Cost for a Class
Some schools offer the ability to take single classes by paying on a per credit hour basis. The reported price per credit hour and estimated cost for one class at University of Cincinnati Clermont College are as follows. Per credit costs are for reference only as many schools will not allow students to pay by credit hour.
Cost per credit hour and per class at University of Cincinnati Clermont College
Price per credit hour for Ohio residents $209
Cost for one class for Ohio residents (3 credit hours) $627
Price per credit hour for out of state residents $510
Cost for one class for out of state residents (3 credit hours) $1,530
at University of Cincinnati Clermont College
Student Loans and Debt
The second consideration after understanding the cost of college is determining how to finance it. Some students are fortunate enough to have some form of family financial assistance, but student loans end up financing a significant portion of higher education in the U.S. 46% of University of Cincinnati Clermont College students receive U.S. Federal Student Loans with an average annual Federal Loan aid amount of $4,334.
Example Loan Payments and Costs
How much are student loan payments for University of Cincinnati Clermont College? Obviously this varies based on a number of factors - offsetting financial aid you receive, percentage of fee you pay upfront while enrolled and the interest rate on your loans. We've modeled a sample student loan based on current Stafford loan rates to give you an approximate idea.
The following are the costs for a loan if you borrowed $49,524, 100% of the estimated average net price for a four year program and paid nothing while enrolled. The total of all payments including interest would sum $59,409.13. This could be your effective total out of pocket cost of an education at University of Cincinnati Clermont College. Note that this calculation assumes you don't pay full list price tuition, are part of the reported 86% of students at this school who receive financial aid and you are paying an average annual net price of $12,381. If you do not financially qualify for a reduced net price, your student loan payments could be significantly higher than this example.

Affording Student Loan Payments and Post Graduation Salary
Can I afford to attend University of Cincinnati-Clermont College? In the end, the answer comes down a determination if you will earn enough to comfortably pay back a student loan with your post graduation salary. This is an extremely important point to consider. In order to afford student loan payments and still meet all your other costs of living, it is recommended not to borrow more than you can pay back using 10% of your monthly income earned after graduation. If you're considering attending University of Cincinnati Clermont College, you need to carefully consider if it will be realistic to make the post graduation loan payments based on your expected salary.
Using the 10% of salary threshold, an annual income of $59,409.13 would be needed to afford a $495.08 monthly payment in the example $49,524.00 loan modeled above. You will need to determine if it is at all realistic that you will be earning this type of salary after graduation. This assumes a loan payback over 10 years. You can change the terms of this example loan using the student loan calculator below.

Recommendations: I have to admit to being a bit of a non-fiction nerd. I'm currently, and seemingly perpetually, rereading various Bill Bryson books (at the moment "One Summer: America, 1927") as I find him to be endlessly amusing and I often find I need some blatant amusement in my life. I have also recently discovered a podcast by Nadia Sirota called Meet The Composer where I've really been enjoying discovering so many new and brilliant and inventive composers from all kinds of differing corners of the composing world. If you have a passion for music and modern composers then this should not be missed.
If you enjoyed our interview with composer Jamie Forsyth, you can find more information about him at his website.
When did you start composing film music - and what or who were your early passions and influences? What is it about music and/or sound that drew you to it?
For some reason music was just something I got the hang of. I just understood it. Relatively late in life I would say, I didn't really find music until high school. I think my attraction to music was being able to organize something from start to finish - a complete thought, a fully realized thing - before pushing it out into the world. I guess it's a control freak thing maybe? Wanting to be sure your intent is understood. I'm sure you've heard many an artist fairly break out into hives at the thought of their in-progress unfinished work seeing the light of day, I guess I sometimes just felt that way about life in general. Creating music gave me end to end control of the final result.
I still emulate. I still admire. (Sometimes I envy too and those are never good days!) I think it's a critical aspect of creativity. Building on someone else's thing or style or ideas. There is of course, in our day and age, a raging debate over sampling and stealing and that's not what I'm talking about at all. I just mean that even if you were emulating someone else it's likely going to come out sounding like you anyway. But you might learn something, some trick, some insight, and widen your world a bit.
I think the biggest thing, apart from the artistic / dramatic lessons I needed to learn, was just the technological aspects of creating fully matured scores, orchestral and otherwise, with, essentially, just a couple of rooms full of computers and microphones. These days being a "composer" means a lot more than manuscript, paper and a piano. It means facility with software, with computer hardware, all kinds of technical know-how and being a multi-instrumentalist is also a huge huge help. Along with advancing technology has also come advancing expectations. The lone tv composer today is not just a musician, an arranger, an orchestrator, but he is also a programmer, a sound engineer, a mixing engineer. The knowledge base is very diverse and you need to be comfortable switching gears from right to left brain and back again seamlessly and constantly.
I suspect almost all film composers have been guilty at one time or another of getting a little too attached to their own work; being a little too dazzled by their own brilliance only to have a producer or directer shoot you down in flames. It's a horrible feeling. You suddenly feel like you're in the this creative cul de sac wondering "what else can I write here?". It's always the times that I forget that the story comes first, that the characters are more important than the music, that I get myself into that place. In tv and film the music is really there in support of the other elements and it's important not to try to push your way to the front, so to speak. Conversely there are these wonderful times when you shoot an arrow into the forest and really try something different and 'out-there' and it resonates with the creative team. But "artistic integrity", I've always thought, is an unfortunate term. It suggests that the only creative philosophy worth subscribing to is: "I have the right to do whatever I want" and somehow if you don't have the freedom to exercise your slightest whim then somehow you have failed to reach the brass ring as an artist. The tv + film world just doesn't work that way. It's always a collaboration. So much of art is collaboration or commission. Young and aspiring artists who like to throw around the term "artistic integrity" recklessly seem to forget that so many of the masterpieces we all know and recognize as timeless were commissions and existed at the pleasure of a overseer. Mozart, Michaelangelo, Gehry, etc. Artists just trying to pay the bills or please the king or feed the kids. And there is great integrity, I think, in finding the director's voice and amplifying it and improving it and still finding space in there to be yourself and make your voice heard.
My first "studio", laughably called, was a simple keyboard workstation that I had with me while I was working on a cruise ship for two years. Just a tiny LCD screen and analog synthesis. Now, nearly 20 years later, I hate to even imagine how many times all the studio cabling would circle the equator. But the complexity of the whole system is, as much as anything, out of a need to move quickly and have everything available to me at once right up until the last possible moment of creation. So every sound is loaded, every microphone is ready to record, every instrument and every sound has it's own separate environment where it can be manipulated and tweaked independent of everything else. It's a nimble and versatile setup but I don't mind admitting it can be unwieldy as hell sometimes and glitches always seem to strike at the worst moments. Computers can be vindictive and petty things. Usually at one in the morning on a Saturday.
Technology is really an instrument unto itself to me. Some people think of technology as a means of building something they have conceived in their mind, I definitely use technology to generate ideas, to take risks. It's a bit like being a cyborg, the available technology does so many things that are just beyond the brain's ability to imagine. Of course it's not exclusively like that, a huge amount of the composition happens internally (sometimes at a traffic light or during a nap), but certainly I make use of technology to surprise me, to inspire me, to launch me off in unexpected directions.
There is no doubt that without the studio-as-an-instrument model I don't know if I would be doing this work. For me the tactile experience of trying things and throwing things out and starting again and tweaking and fiddling… it's all very much a part of the process. It's not like I sit down with a pen and a pencil and write out this fully realized score and then set about recording it. The recording is so much a part of the building process. Sometimes a cue will come from a melodic idea. Sometimes I lean on the keyboard in a particular way and a strange blrrrrrt comes out because I had some odd instrument loaded at the time and something is born of that. I've kept piano plinks and plonks that my cats created whilst wandering in and out of the studio (and onto the keyboard) while I was recording.
I love collaboration. While it can be fun to bring a project into the world myself, on my own, and all the pride in accomplishment that entails, the collaborative process is so much a part of what music is about for me. There is nothing quite like the anticipation of seeing how another artist responds to your contribution and then the sinister joy of seeing what madness you can create with their work. The back and forth, trying to surprise and delight and engage with each other, what could be better than that?
"These days being a "composer" means a lot more than manuscript, paper and a piano. It means facility with software, with computer hardware, all kinds of technical know-how and being a multi-instrumentalist is also a huge huge help."


Craig Sinclair is a British photographer from the South West of the UK. Currently studying a degree in photography with the Open College of the Arts. He got his first Nikon DSLR in 2010 as a Christmas present and has always had an interest in photography.
The rucksack has a very solid, robust design. Compared to other rucksacks I own, this bag has phenomenal padding, using memory foam throughout the pack and on the arms of the bag. Why is this important to me? I injured my spine some years back, so comfort is essential for me and this bag delivers 120% in that field. I am used to carrying fairly heavy camera gear on long treks and up mountains, you very quickly realise if a bag is suitable or not as it can get very uncomfortable and you will be miserable, unable to focus on taking great shots. This bag is designed to carry heavy loads for a sustained period of time in comfort.
One piece of advice I would give with any loading up for a trek, don't be tempted to overload your rucksack simply because you have the capacity. Just because you can take everything doesn't mean you need to. Try to think practically about your load up. This rucksack does deliver on capacity. I am able to go with a variety of different configurations depending on the shoot and how long I intend to be out for a trip or shoot. You could easily do a couple of days trek or longer with this setup, there is also the option for attaching some additional gear to the bag. There are ample pockets and compartments throughout the entire bag. The 3L capacity hydration compartment on the side is a great addition. I found the front pleated pocket, which runs the length of the bag from top to bottom, the best place to store my raincoat; easily accessible and keeps a wet coat separate from my camera gear.
The deluxe version of the bag which I have, comes with some great accessories, notably for me these were the photo insert and the top pocket. The photo insert enabled me to put my Nikon 200-500 lens securely in the main compartment of the bag along with a second Nikon D7200, there was also room for more gear if I needed it. The top pocket gives you that little bit of extra storage for things like your SD card holder, keys, snacks and i-Phone.
One of the little quirks I discovered was the way the arms of the rucksack move freely and independently with your walking movements as opposed to being really rigid like other rucksacks, this is a really key design feature.
Whilst testing the bag out on a trip to a local nature reserve, I had mistakenly forgotten to clip the belt pack's waist belt around my waist. Whilst walking through the woods listening to my friend talk about the array of wild orchids on show, I saw this fascinating little red cardinal beetle, I had to get a shot! I went to whip around the belt pack and nearly dropped the whole belt pack on the floor, much to my friend's amusement. Thankfully no beetles were harmed in the making of this review! It's just an observation but always remember to clip the waist belt. Thankfully MindShift Gear have thought of everything and the belt pack is actually attached to the bag using a small clip in latch clipped to the inside of the bag (which can be unclipped to use the pack independently), so the waist pack didn't fall to the ground.
I found it takes some getting used to releasing the latch to pull the waist pack around to your front and I found sometimes I couldn't get the latch to release so I left the side flap up. I think this was mainly down to me using the wrong motion to release the latch.
TIP: Here's a an overview of the MindShift Gear r180 Professional Deluxe backpack, you'll see a nice demo of releasing the magnetic clip within the first 30 seconds.
On another trip to a different nature reserve we were out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a thunderstorm, a great chance to try out the rain cover! I found it was a little tricky initially to work out how to get the rain cover on, to be fair it was bucketing it down with rain with thunder and lightning overhead. So my advice is to try out the rain cover before you need to use it, so you know how to put it on properly. It's a really good design now I have tested it out and keeps the bag dry, which is the point! The rain cover allows you access to continue using the waist pack. The waist pack also comes with its own independent rain cover.
TIP: Here's a demonstration on how to attach your rain cover, it's definitely worth testing before heading out!

Taken at Sakrisoy late one evening as the setting sun kissed the tops of the mountains across the water. A 1 minute exposure smoothed the water and captured some movement in the clouds.
Taken at Uttakleiv I set the camera up to capture the sweep of the bay with the rocks in the foreground. It was then a case of waiting an hour or so for the clouds to co-operate and give me some interest in the sky. As I was stood in the shade I was grateful for the several layers of clothing I'd put on that morning!
One of my favourite images from my trip to Lofoten. We found this little abandoned cottage just off the road and I loved its character and the mood it conveyed. We were also blessed with an interesting sky (not typical of this visit unfortunately).
I'm a great advocate of having a clear purpose about what I'm trying to communicate via an image before firing the shutter. However there are times when I'm drawn to a scene but I'm not sure what I'm trying to say no matter how long I ponder what's before me. In these situations I've learnt to trust my instinct. This scene at Unstad was such a situation. I've since grown to understand the photograph and the meaning behind it (the clue is in the title).
My MindShift Gear Rotation 180° Professional has been around the world with me from Europe to the USA to Antarctica and it's still my favourite backpack. However there are rare occasions when it's just too large to take on some aeroplanes – it doesn't fit into the overhead compartments of the smaller planes used by some regional airlines. For example, earlier this year I went to the Lofoten Islands off the coast of Northern Norway and this required 3 flights from the UK to my destination and the last leg was in a plane not much bigger than a local bus (OK a bit of an exaggeration, but it was small!). Knowing how well made the MindShift Gear bags are constructed I looked for an alternative in the range and came across the Backlight 26L. Like the Rotation 180° Pro the outer is of a robust material and the compartments are well padded to protect my kit. It also comes with a rain cover for those times when the elements take a turn for the worse (something I was anticipating in Northern Norway in February). One advantage it has for me and the gear I travel with – it has a dedicated pouch into which I can place my laptop and/or iPad. There's also an additional compartment in the front to put my gloves, scarf, hat etc.
Although the MindShift Gear BackLight 26L does not have the rotating belt pack of its larger sibling, it does still enable me to access all of my gear without removing the bag and placing it on the floor. This can be done by swinging the whole bag to the front and accessing the main compartment from the rear (see photo). This is great when I'm working in locations where I don't want to put the pack down and the rear access means that the back of the bag doesn't get covered in mud or sand on those occasions when I do put it on the ground.
I have encountered two minor problems with the backpack in use. The first is that any large gear located right at the bottom of the compartment is difficult to access when the backpack is swung to the front. Not a big deal – now I'm aware of this I pack the bag to avoid the issue by locating smaller items at the bottom. The second issue requires some attention from MindShift Gear – the grab handle at the top of the backpack is not as substantial as the one on the Rotation 180° Pro although the bags are capable of carrying similar load weights. I have heard of some cases where the grab handle has failed – thankfully not a problem I've experienced but then I don't just rely on the grab handle when picking up my kit.
With those two provisos I can highly recommend the MindShift Gear Backlight 26L. It's not replaced my Rotation 180° Pro as my go to backpack but when I need something smaller it fits the bill ideally.
Travelling to a location within the Arctic Circle in February I expected extreme weather conditions – wind, rain, snow & ice. In the days immediately prior to my trip photographer friends of mine were there and experiencing regular snowstorms – fantastic for moody images. I was full of anticipation. Of course I took suitable precautions for me and my gear. In terms of clothing several layers were the order of the day – Merino wool base layers for top & bottom halves, thick socks, liner gloves, waterproof & windproof outer gloves, down filled jackets and a thick waterproof outer layer. Fully dressed I resembled the Michelin man – not a pretty sight but functional.
Sods Law of course determined that we arrived to sunshine and blue skies (still very cold though!) – weather conditions that dominated most of our week there. Holiday weather I call it and not my favourite for atmospheric landscape photography. In years gone by I would have driven myself into a spiral of negativity – wandering around, chuntering to myself about my misfortune, letting the frustration build up to a point where my creativity diminished to zero. But as I've got older I've acquired both the hairstyle and the philosophy of a Buddhist monk. I've learnt to accept that what will be, will be and I can't change the weather. My approach these days is to adapt, to be flexible and respond to what I find, forgetting any predetermined notions of how I'd like things to be and instead going with the flow. This is better for my creativity, my blood pressure and my sanity!

Sam Mossop – a great photographer who works at one of our specialist photographic retailers – Wilkinson Cameras in Kendal, gave us his thoughts on the MindShift Gear UltraLight Dual 36L.
Broken jetty at Pooley Bridge, Ullswater, sunshine and warmth during the pre sunset, temperature dropped drastically when sun set but I had all warm clothing in my bag with all the gear.
Isthmus Bay, Keswick at sunset, balancing on rocks in the water was helped by slinging back on to shoulder to set up tripod and filters for long exposure of sunset.
Rydal Water at night, Milky Way visible, short hike to the water itself, plus climb up to Rydal Caves and Loughrigg Fell.
What does Sam think of the MindShift Gear UltraLight Dual 36L?
I have been using the MindShift UltraLight Dual 36L for some time now and have found it to be an incredibly versatile bag for general photography trips and longer walking in the hills. The first thing that strikes me about this bag is just how light it is for a 36L bag, this is even with the additional inserted case for camera equipment, it really lives up to the UltraLight name. The camera bag is split into two main sections, an upper section for personal equipment or photographic gear and a lower section with a removable padded case intended for photographic equipment. This insert can be removed to function as an external camera bag in its own right slung over your shoulder with the supplied strap, I found removing the insert and using it as a base to swap lenses quickly was very useful especially in wildlife and scenic areas where you never know what is round the next corner and are changing lenses frequently.
I have been using the bag for walking in the Lake District and for photography trips around the local area. Being able to pack in all the photographic equipment I need including my camera + 1-3 extra lenses along with my filter system and a tripod and then be able to also carry a 3L water bladder and waterproof coat and trousers, food, first aid and survival equipment is absolutely invaluable. The weather on higher ground is incredibly variable and so packing everything you need is essential especially for winter walking. The tripod holder is on the outside centre of the bag which is key for longer walks as the weight of the tripod is not pulling down on one particular side.
The Mindshift UltraLight bag is made of a lightweight but tough, water resistant material on the outside and a high quality durable inner material. The advantage of the bag being made of rugged water resistant material is that even if you do need to put the bag down you know it will be fine on any wet ground and will not soak through in the minute or two you need to access the bag. With the adjustable chest and waist strap you can really tailor the fit of the bag to make it comfortable for long periods of time. The bag comes supplied with waterproof covers for the bag itself and the removable case so you can be safe from rain in all scenarios, the waterproof cover will also fit over a tripod mounted on to the bag.
How much gear does Sam pack?
It's like winter clothing for your gear… .
I used the bag for a night time walk to Rydal up to Rydal caves and then on to Loughrigg in just below 0 degree temperatures. The bag kept my equipment relatively warm even though the outside of the bag was actually being coated in condensation when I stopped, due to the temperature. For several shots and extended periods of time the bag was on the floor and no moisture got inside the bag, I could just rely on the bag and carry on taking photographs.
Whilst walking up Helm Crag and around the Easedale Horseshoe as thick cloud and snow closed in on me being able to carry all my photography equipment comfortably and safely, being protected from the elements and still able to navigate with map and compass and keep warm in the winter clothing I was able to pack meant that a potentially miserable situation was actually fairly enjoyable. Even if there was very little photographic opportunity with 5 metres visibility.
If you'd like to meet Sam you'll find him at Wilkinson Cameras Kendal. Where you can also find stock of MindShift Gear bags and accessories.

Despite this, it is BUSINESS AS USUAL for the team who are all passionate photographers too!
Think Tank Photo – Glass Taxi – houses his Canon 300 f2.8 with the Think Tank Photo SpeedChanger (now the SpeedChanger v2) on the front of the Glass Taxi to hold one of his Canon bodies.
Andy also has the Mindshift Gear Filter Hive for his LEE filters (pictured below).
I love wildlife photography, birds and mammals, and I'm often found talking to animals when no one is looking! I also love Aviation photography, Cityscapes, Landscapes and a little bit of Motorcross… Basically anything that isn't a human being!
AND… if you venture past the scaffolding into LCE Reading you will see some of his super shots adorning the walls of the store!
Mark has loads of Cable Management bags and DSLR Battery Holder 2 & DSLR Battery Holder 4 for all his accessories.
If you're interested… it's not too late to enter the 2015 International Light Painting Award – closing date is 1 August 2015.
Mark recently participated in the OPEN FOR ART 2015 event in Reading – from 3-5 July 2015. "It's a three-day Town Centre arts festival to showcase Reading's hidden talent and creative industries." 29 venues in Reading town centre volunteered to host a trail of pieces from local artists – on the streets, in shop windows and disused buildings. Along with the art trail there were heritage walks, workshops and events for everyone to participate in throughout the weekend event. Perhaps this is one for your 2016 diary!
If you'd like to meet Andy, Mark and find out more about their photography passion, you can visit them at the LCE Reading store, and of course you can also get a great range of Think Tank Photo and MindShift Gear from the store too!

We met up with Pete from LCE – London Camera Exchange – Winchester branch to find out which backpack from the Think Tank Photo range is the smallest fit for the DJI Phantom quadcopter and accessories.
We found that the DJI Phantom Series 1 fits very snugly in the Think Tank Photo Airport Commuter backpack, with room for the controller, monitor, action camera, some spare batteries and the blades.
The Airport Commuter backpack weighs in at 1.5 to 1.9kg, depending on the number of dividers used. The external dimensions are 31.6 x 21.6 x 45.7 cm (12.5″W x 8.5″D x 18″H) and the shape is rectangular, so this is an ideal bag for airline travel. Of course you'll need to check out your preferred carrier for their carry-on allowance!
For those of you that prefer more space around the DJI Phantom quadcopter, then the larger Airport Accelerator backpack is ideal. With external dimensions of 35.6 x 22.9 x 52.1 cm (14″W x 9″D x 20.5″H) and weight of 1.9 to 2.5kg (depending on dividers used) it provides even more space for accessories too. There is also a separate pocket for your laptop and tablet.
As you can see, compared to the Airport Commuter there is more space around the quadcopter, and greater capacity for accessories. The special dividers allow for storage in between the quadcopter arms, and also the divider kit comes with x4 protective rotor mount thread caps.
The organiser pouches pictured between the arms are the Cable Management 20 V2 – other sizes and types are also available, and you can see the full range HERE.
Find out more about the DJI Phantom quadcopters and Think Tank Photo Airport Commuter and Accelerator backpacks from Pete at London Camera Exchange in Winchester.
FYI: We filmed the video of the DJI Phantom 1 fitting in the Airport Commuter using Canon, Sony and GoPro cameras.

We're heading out to Santa Rosa, just north of San Francisco to join the Think Tank Photo (TTP) team in their 10th anniversary celebrations and looking forward to catching up with all their team on their home turf.
Deciding upon public transport to get to the airport, the big question: what bag or bags to take?!
For me I decantered my lighting equipment and stripped the dividers out of my Airport Security roller, then filled this with clothes and personal gear for the hold. Thankfully the built in TSA zipper lock for the main compartment saved me scrabbling around in search of a padlock at home.
Flying with British Airways this roller fits perfectly in their carry-on bins, and even when heavily laden with big glass I've yet to exceed their 23kg carry-on limit with it. Also having the ability to put the laptop inside the roller (utilising the low dividers) gives peace of mind and ease of access for security checks.
However, as this trip is a short one I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to road test the new Urban Approach 15 (UA15) backpack and Urban Approach 10 shoulder bag… oh and take less stuff!
It's not until I try out each bag that I really appreciate the little nuances that really make the TTP bags stand out from the crowd.
Gear wise I opted for my Fuji mirrorless system, Lee filters, iPad, Bose music system, chargers of course, and last minute thankfully remembered my plug adapters for the USA!
The UA15 backpack, with its tapered front, is incredibly deceptive in size and I was really surprised at just how much gear can be comfortably configured in this slim, smart, neat little bag.
The big bonus with this is the ability to slide it over the extendable handle of a roller, thanks to the addition of a fabric strip across the back of the bag, which doesn't affect the comfort when wearing it. This made my walk to the train station and the change to the bus pretty smooth running.
Breaking with habit I also packed the Urban Approach 10 (UA10) for the small bits I was likely to want quick access to on the flight, and also for fitting the Fuji gear and iPad in when wandering around the town. Like the back back this is incredibly light and surprisingly capacious.
Now my fellow traveller and business partner, aka my Pa, opted for one bag as carry on and a small Stuff It pouch on the belt for necessities.
His choice bag was the Airport Accelerator – a rectangular backpack equivalent size to the Airport International roller and fits the BA luggage bin perfectly, yet fits so much more as there's no extendable handle to cater for. Weighing in at 2.3 kg (check this) prior to packing and having dedicated pockets for both 15″ laptop and 10″ tablet, this provided the perfect solution for him to maximise his carry-on.
Pa finds this bag extremely comfortable to wear, and the easily adjustable straps make for best fit and easy to get on and remove without having to contort your arm. Oh and it's cool and he likes it!
As well as these bags, the Travel Pouches both small and large make for great toiletry and clothes carriers, and the new CF/SD & Battery wallet keeps the small camera bits together.
So, prior to catching up with the TTP guys we're heading to the the Schultz Museum and a pit stop at Willy Bird's!

Wildlife photographer Roger Hooper is passionate about both wildlife and the environment and through his photography communicates the extraordinary aspects of our planet and the frailty of the world around us.
His work has also been published in these books: Art in the Wild and Dotted Plains – Spotted Game.
Roger works closely with the WWF – World Wildlife Fund – and has regular exhibitions entitled 'Art in the Wild' at the gallery@Oxo, Oxo Tower Wharf, Southbank, London, SE1 9PH, in support of the WWF.
His next exhibition at the gallery@Oxo will be from Friday 9 August to 1 September 2013 – having been to see a couple of his exhibitions I highly recommend making a visit to see his fabulous images.
Roger takes his trusty Think Tank Photo Airport TakeOff to ferry his gear around on his travels.
Having both wheels and a backpack is essential for Roger to work across the varied terrain, from the smooth airport terminal floors to the plains of Africa and beyond.
However, when trekking into the jungles and across other tough terrain, the Shapeshifter provides him with a great lightweight solution for carrying his gear.
In addition to this the Peak Design Capture Clip & Plate has become an essential addition to Roger's equipment.
Clipped firmly onto his Shapshifter Peak Design Capture Clip & Plate leaves both hands free for trekking and has proved to be invaluable when climbing up to the tree tops, holding his 500mm lens on the Canon 1DX body securely in position and leaving both hands free to climb!

Deaths From Falls by Older Adults Sharply Increase
The CDC reports a 31 percent jump over a decade among Americans 65-plus
by Kent Allen, AARP, May 18, 2018 | Comments: 0
Fluctuating blood pressure can increase falls, especially among the elderly.
Deaths from falls among adults age 65 and older have increased dramatically, from 18,000 to 30,000 per year, a government study has found. Adjusting for the growth in population of older adults, the rate went up 31 percent over the period studied, from 2007 to 2016.
"If deaths from falls continue to increase at the same rate, the U.S. can expect 59,000 older adults will die because of a fall in 2030," said lead researcher Elizabeth Burns, a health scientist at the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "The chance of falling increases with age, and risk is higher with certain chronic diseases, such as a history of stroke, arthritis, diabetes, dementia and Parkinson's disease," Burns told HealthDay News.
According to the CDC, "Deaths from unintentional injuries are the seventh leading cause of death among older adults, and falls account for the largest percentage of those deaths. Approximately one in four U.S. residents aged 65 years (or older) report falling each year."
The fastest-growing rate was for adults 85 and older.
The National Council on Aging has issued a list of tips on how to prevent falling.
* Begin a regular exercise program, such as tai chi. It can improve balance.
* Ask your health care provider to review your medications. People who have multiple prescriptions may be more susceptible to falls.
* Have your vision checked.
* Make your home safer.

Penguins Hand Wings First Loss of Season
The Pittsburgh Penguins certainly are not the most talented team in the league, but they could be the most opportunistic. The Penguins capitalized on mistakes by Detroit in a choppy game to get their first win of the season, 4-3.
During the first period, the Penguins didn't look as if they would be able to capitalize on much of anything. The Red Wings killed off five of six Pittsburgh power plays and managed to hold the Penguins to only six shots during the first twenty minutes.
The Penguins were first on the scoreboard, during a roughing penalty to Chris Chelios. Ramsey Abid was waiting at the side of the net in just the right spot to tip a point shot by Drake Berehowsky past Dominik Hasek at 5:34.
The penalties continued, so the Red Wings scored a goal the only way they could: shorthanded. Ray Whitney made a clearing pass which sent Henrik Zetterberg speeding down the ice on a one-on-one against Martin Straka. He faked to his right, then spun around Straka, moved the puck from his backhand to his forehand, and snapped the puck past rookie goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
The Red Wings finally got a full power play chance of their own near the end of the period when Rico Fata was sent to the box for hooking. Brendan Shanahan took a shot on net which bounced off of Fleury, but Tomas Holmstrom, facing away from the net and being shoved around as usual, whacked at the puck until it went in and gave Detroit the lead.
The number of penalties subsided in the second period, and the Wings increased their lead with the first even-strength goal of the game. Kirk Maltby carried the puck behind the net. Two Pittsburgh defensemen went after him, leaving Darren McCarty all alone in front of the net. Maltby sent a pass out front to his linemate, and McCarty had his stick down on the ice ready to direct the puck to Fleury's left.
Another shorthanded goal brought Pittsburgh back within one point before the end of the period. Brian Holzinger had been sent out for a high-sticking double minor penalty. The Red Wings were trying to set up their power play when Whitney mishandled a pass and Ryan Malone was able to steal it and head up the rink. Whitney followed and cut Malone off so that he wasn't able to get much of a shot against Hasek, but Rico Fata was trailing the play and got to the rebound to flip the puck into the net.
Straka tied the game just eleven seconds into the third period after a two-on-one rush. Konstantin Koltsov carried the puck up the left side. Straka kept up on the right. Jiri Fischer used his stick to try to take the passing lane away, but the puck got through to Straka and he put it in the net just under the crossbar.
The Red Wings thought they had regained the lead a few moments later. Shanahan took a shot which deflected into the net off of Mathieu Schneider's skate blade. The video goal judge, however, ruled that Schneider had kicked the puck into the net, so the goal was waved off.
Fata put the game away for the Penguins with 8:29 left to play. Malone's pass sprung Fata on a clear breakaway up the right side of the rink, and he beat Hasek with a high wrist shot.
The Red Wings controlled the rest of the game, doing what they could to tie the game back up and force overtime. Even though they pulled Hasek for an extra attacker in the last minutes, they were unable to put the puck past Fleury again.
Detroit outshot Pittsburgh by a count of 34 to 17. The Red Wings' next game will be Monday night when they visit the Montreal Canadiens.
Wings Hand Wild First Loss of Season Before Record Crowd
19,344 people, the largest crowd ever to watch a hockey game in the state of Minnesota, gathered at the Xcel Energy Center to watch the Minnesota Wild attempt to defend their season-long unbeaten streak against the Detroit Red Wings. The Wild fans went home disappointed, because the Red Wings had other ideas, eventually gaining a 5-3 victory.
Hull's 3rd Place Goal Lifts Wings over Kings
It was another milestone night for Brett Hull, and this time, the goal counted towards a win. Hull scored his 732nd career goal 1:51 into the overtime period to lift the Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings and move into sole possession of third place on the all-time goals scored list, behind only Wayne Gretzky (894) and Gordie Howe (801). The Red Wings started the scoring early in the first period. In fact, they scored on their first two shots of the game. Brendan Shanahan got the crowd in the right mindset to see milestone goals by scoring his 544th career goal 2:27 into the first period. Mark Mowers made a sharp pass from behind the net, and Shanahan snapped off a shot which bounced off the left leg pad of goalie Roman Cechmanek and into the net. The goal tied Shanahan for 19th place overall with Maurice "Rocket" Richard.
Canucks Hand Wings First Loss of the Season
One night after the Detroit Red Wings scored five power play goals in nine chances, they were unable to score with the man-advantage on six chances and lost to the Vancouver Canucks, 4-2.

Pure Technology What is Computer Vision?
Hey there, this is Subham from Technical Virus. Today I am going to write about an interesting thing that is, COMPUTER VISION.
In today's article, I will explain what is Computer Vision and how it is used.
So, what is Computer Vision?
Computer Vision is a field of computer science that provides a Computer to See.
Let me explain to you in simple words.
We are Human and we all can see, feel, and do anything. Like that, Computer Vision is a field of Computer Science that provides a Computer to See, Feel, Identify and Process images as Human vision does and gives an appropriate Output.
But it is really tough to do. It is a difficult task to recognize images by a Computer.
But for the blessings of Technology, we did it by various methods.
You can also say that it is related to AI (Artificial Intelligence). As AI does the same workings as a Human being does approx in everything. I wrote an article about AI and its effects and Usefulness. You can simply read that from HERE.
Computer Vision is a field of Computer Science that works like Human Vision. It can see, feel, Identify and Process Images as Human Vision does.
In the Cars, if we apply Computer Vision then it can sense the inside behavior of the Driver. Means, it can sense through its vision that where is the hole in the road is situated.
It can actually sense where is the Road Blocker is present and can do many more things.

Will Twitter Ignite The App Install Wars?
Mobile app install ads have proven to be lucrative for Facebook, and sources say Twitter is close to releasing its own version of such ads along with a new mobile app install partner program.
"Given the prevalence of Twitter app usage in mobile, which has an even higher percentage of mobile vs. desktop than Facebook, it's no surprise to see Twitter move forward with mobile app install ads," said Paul Steketee, head of paid social and emerging media at CRM agency Merkle.
As originally reported by Bloomberg, sources identified ecommerce and game industry marketers as viable users of a prospective Twitter mobile app install product.
App developers represent an attractive new ads opportunity for Twitter because of built-in demand. Such a product could help satisfy the classic need for more visibility and engagement in crowded mobile apps marketplaces. Additionally, advertisers could potentially buy more directly from Twitter, instead of going through a salesforce or intermediary.
Steketee recalls recently spotting an app install ad placement in his newsfeed and observed how the unit provides a direct link to download the app along with a media-forward preview image for the app.
The success of these ad units will depend on how well they're integrated into the native Twitter experience.
"Mobile app install ads on Twitter should be colorful, engaging, graphically focused ads to compete on the same level [as Facebook]," said Andrew Foxwell, cofounder and CEO of social media consultancy Foxwell Digital.
Twitter's release of an app install product and partnership program (should it go through) comes at a time when Twitter is formalizing its marketing services. In the past month, the social network consolidated its once-separate partner programs for targeting, measuring and APIs into the Twitter Marketing Platform Program. Additionally, Twitter's acquisition of mobile ad exchange MoPub also marked its first real move into direct response advertising.
These moves also mark a shift in Twitter's ad offerings philosophy. Alex Andreyev, director of omnichannel marketing at global media and performance marketing agency Neo@Ogilvy, said historically Twitter targeted brand and TV budgets. However, he noted Twitter has recently focused on direct response advertising, a move underscored by Twitter's app install initiatives.
"If Twitter can prove they can play in the DR space, especially mobile DR, we should continue to see Twitter roll out more offerings for all other DR advertisers," he said.
Although Twitter is in tight competition with Facebook, Jeremy Leon, senior social strategist at social media agency Laundry Service, said Twitter has the potential to surpass Facebook in this race because it can offer more stability. For instance, he noted increases in Facebook CPM rates. As CPMs increase, he said, CPIs tend to follow.
In contrast, Twitter's CPMs have remained stable, which indicates its CPIs may not fluctuate either. While Facebook's increases might be due to higher engagement rates, in the long run, Leon said, Twitter's steady CPMs and CPIs could appeal more to advertisers.
Twitter declined comment on the mobile app install ad units and the partnership program.

Q: passing date argument to store date in object variable in c# how can i initialize t1 object which has start and end dates as parameters? the error line is t1.store("task1","gui design",2014 01 01,2014 04 04,"completed") . how can i pass date argument to store method... can anyone help me to find out?
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Task t1 = new Task();
        Task t2 = new Task();
        t1.store("task1","gui design",2014 01 01,2014 04 04,"completed");
    }
}

class Task
{
    string _Tid;
    string _tn;
    DateTime _sdate;
    DateTime _edate;
    string _status;
    public void store(string tid,string tname, Date start,Date end,string sts)
    {
        this._Tid = tid;
        this._tn = tname;
        this._sdate = start;
        this._edate = end;
        this._status = sts;
    }
    public void print()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\n {0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}\t{4}",this._Tid,this._tn,this._sdate,this._edate,this._status);
    }
}

}

A: You can create DateTime via these methods
            var dt1 = new DateTime(2014,10,25);
            var dt2 = DateTime.Parse("2014/10/25");

and change the method signature to this
public void store(string tid,string tname, DateTime start,DateTime end,string sts)

and if you want to be sure that you only use the Date part of DateTime object you can use start.Date or end.Date

A: t1.store("task1","gui design",Convert.ToDateTime(01/01/2014),Convert.ToDateTime(04/04/2014),"completed");

A: your parameter is incorrect.
you must use this figure:
new Date(2014 01 01) and  pass tow method;
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
         Task t1 = new Task();
         Task t2 = new Task();
         t1.store("task1","gui design",new DateTime(2014, 01, 01),new DateTime(2014 ,04 ,04),"completed");
    }
}

class Task
{
    string _Tid;
    string _tn;
    DateTime _sdate;
    DateTime _edate;
    string _status;

    public void store(string tid, string tname, DateTime start, DateTime end, string sts)
    {
        this._Tid = tid;
        this._tn = tname;
        this._sdate = start;
        this._edate = end;
        this._status = sts;
    }

    public void print()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\n {0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}\t{4}", this._Tid, this._tn, this._sdate, this._edate, this._status);
    }
}

A: Since you're using a custom Date implementation, the correct way to call that method is like this:
t1.store("task1","gui design", new Date(2014, 01, 01), new Date(2014, 04, 04) ,"completed");

It's common in many sales and recruiting industries to have incentives and contests. Typically, these are earned by the top performers in the company. Many people have had experience working with these highly competitive salespeople. We refer to them as "sharks" and describe them as "cut throat".
However, at Executive Staffing Solutions, Aaron Wandtke, our Senior Partner, has decided it makes more sense to win or lose as a company. Contests are company wide, and when we hit our goals, we celebrate together. This strategic decision was made to support our core culture and values. At ESS, we believe that "a rising tide raises all boats" and wanted to create an environment where our team could collaborate and rally together to reach goals, versus the traditional competitive environment that is more commonly associated with recruiting and sales.
At Executive Staffing Solutions our contest themes are sparked from reflecting on which behaviors we want to reward as well as goal of bringing our team closer together. We typically have 5-6 competitions a year with incentives for time off work. We often have contests before holiday weekends because the only thing better than a 3-day weekend is a 4-day weekend!
Every year we tally our recruiters individual goals and add them up to come up with a company goal. If we reach this goal, then the whole office goes on an all-inclusive, international trip with a guest of their choice. Everyone is invited – including admin staff, management and recruiters. Either the whole company goes, or no one goes. This amazing contest requires that we all succeed together. Throughout the year we check in on our goal and share ideas on achieving them.
Instead of looking at the individual recruiter goals, we look at ESS goals. This encourages our team to support and push one another throughout the year.
We love to support our dedicated employees. After you've worked for Executive Staffing Solutions for 10 years, we present you with a generous travel credit to travel as your choose. Instead of being incentive based, it is our way of appreciating our committed recruiters.
We love hosting, encouraging, and motivating our team through different contests. What is a company contest you can share with our company? How will you grow your office culture through these competitions?

It's undeniable that today, human beings have more access to information than ever before. Whether this is coming through 24-hour news channels, social media or other internet sites, information is constantly flowing and waiting to be consumed by avid observers. People then go about their daily lives, having formed opinions about political, economic, environmental and social issues defined by their particular media diet. Yet one thing we often fail to address is the quality of this information. I won't spend time explaining the drawbacks of information emanating from social media or television, because most people are already aware of these deficiencies, especially given the recent revelations about Russian agents influencing the American election.
The problem is that quality is often confused with quantity. A preponderance of media consumption doesn't make up for a lack of literary and empirical knowledge. In other words, we must not forget to return to the original, and, if I may boldly say, superior, technology: the printed book. It never needs to be recharged, it lasts forever and it's incredibly cheap to produce and purchase. Books are the bailiwick of wise and learned people. Books show us how to run companies, lead countries, rescue economies, harness our creativity and promote the well-being of our bodies and souls.
The issue with books is that they require a deeper level of concentration, and a longer commitment of time. Books are an investment — but they pay incredible dividends. By reading, you not only gain a superior quality of information about whatever you're studying, but you also force yourself to hone your reading and writing skills in the process. Like any exercise you might do at the gym, reading helps create (and then reinforce) positive feedback loops, making you come back for another dose of fantasy, excitement, and analysis.
Above all else, being able to read and write at a higher level is not only rewarding and pleasurable, it provides you with power. In a world where power games and competence dominate nearly all social hierarchies, failing to read published and peer-reviewed works promises to hinder individuals on the path to self-improvement, wisdom and enlightenment. Studies have also demonstrated that the number of books read per year is directly correlated to financial success, career development, as well as personal happiness and fulfilment. Whether this correlation can always be interpreted as causation is up for debate.
Depending on the studies you look at, the average Canadian spends between 350 and 450 minutes a day consuming modern media: that's between 5.8 and 7.5 hours per day. Every day. Conversely, the average Canadian spends less than 6 hours per week reading — that's around 50 minutes per day, at most. And roughly 18% of Canadians (and 28% of Americans) haven't read a single book in the past year. These numbers have been relatively stable over the past decade, so it would be foolish to infer an epidemic of illiteracy. Furthermore, millennials are actually reading slightly more than their older counterparts (admittedly, excluding 50 Shades of Grey and Harry Potter might drastically alter this finding). Yet, while reading rates remain flat, more and more time is being devoted to the consumption of inaccurate and algorithm-driven information. This is what worries me.
Today, everyone seems to have an opinion about everything, but once you dig around and begin to test the structure and first principles supporting said opinions, most don't hold water. This isn't to suggest that people are becoming less intelligent, quite the opposite is true (average IQ scores having been slowly but steadily rising over the past several decades). What this does suggest is that citizens have now become nodes in a network of billions of connected individuals, instead of being relegated to some obscure and mundane task, as millions of serfs, slaves and peasants had been for thousands of years. Today, virtually anyone with an internet connection can access the near-infinite amount of knowledge gathered since the dawn of time with the click of a button. This is obviously a massive improvement over what Hobbes called the "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short" nature of life before the turn of the 20th century.
Yet we cannot take this growth and improvement for granted by forgetting to crack open a good book on a daily basis. How can our opinions and arguments survive the opposing philosophies and theories without a solid foundation of history, literature, economics and science to act as a bulwark against fear, greed and oppression? Notable polemicist and author Christopher Hitchens best defined the value of first principles and autodidactism in a Hart House debate back in 2006: Why do you know what you already think you know? How do I know that I know this, except that I've always been taught this and never heard anything else? It's always worth establishing first principles; it's always worth saying, 'What would you do if you met a flat-earth society member?' Come to think of it, how can I prove the earth is round? Am I sure about the theory of evolution? I know it's supposed to be true; here's someone who says there's no such thing, that it's all intelligent design… don't take refuge in the false security of consensus.
A final caveat: read things you vehemently disagree with. For example, I disagree with about 99% of what conservative commentator Ben Shapiro talks and writes about. Nonetheless, I still plough through his work so that I can be better prepared to debate a neo-conservative on issues of abortion, capital punishment and many other subjects, should the opportunity present itself. Read fiction and non-fiction, from Dickens to dummy books. Read everything you can get your hands on, and then make up your own mind about the world, instead of receiving your information in seven-second soundbites and retweets. In a world where Kylie Jenner's tweet leads to the obliteration of 1.5 billion dollars worth of Snapchat's market capitalization in a single day of trading, new forms of media wield incalculable amounts of power over our daily lives. Perhaps it might do us some good to spend some of those 450 minutes reading Orwell, Faulkner, and Atwood instead.

Q: When dealing with spinor indices, how exactly do we obtain the barred Pauli operator? In the set of SUSY notes I'm following, the Pauli operator is given as:
${(\sigma^\mu)}_{\alpha\dot{\alpha}} = (I_2, \sigma^1, \sigma^2, \sigma^3)$.
The antisymmetric tensor that lowers and raises indices is defined as:  $\epsilon^{\alpha\beta} = \begin{pmatrix}
0 & 1 \\
-1 & 0
\end{pmatrix}$
When we define the barred Pauli operator by applying this twice,
${(\bar{\sigma}^\mu)}^{\dot{\alpha}\alpha} = \epsilon^{\alpha\beta}\epsilon^{\dot{\alpha}\dot{\beta}} {(\sigma^\mu)}_{\beta\dot{\beta}} = (I_2, -\sigma^1, -\sigma^2, -\sigma^3)$.
I really struggle with Spinor indices, and keep trying to think of them as matrices and which I'm sure is incredibly wrong. For example, acting on this for ${(\bar{\sigma}^0)}^{\dot{\alpha}\alpha} = \epsilon^{\alpha\beta}\epsilon^{\dot{\alpha}\dot{\beta}} {(\sigma^0)}_{\beta\dot{\beta}}$, I have written
$\begin{pmatrix}
0 & 1 \\
-1 & 0
\end{pmatrix}^{\alpha\beta}\begin{pmatrix}
0 & 1 \\
-1 & 0
\end{pmatrix}^{\dot{\alpha}\dot{\beta}}\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1
\end{pmatrix}_{\beta\dot{\beta}} = \begin{pmatrix}
-1 & 0 \\
0 & -1
\end{pmatrix}^{\dot{\alpha}\alpha} = (-I_2)^{\dot{\alpha}\alpha}$,
whereas looking at the notes I should not have a minus sign. How does applying the epsilon tensor leave the first element of the Pauli operator ($I_2$) intact but applying a minus sign to the rest of the barred tensor? Or is this just a convention that we define?
Apologies if there are any errors in the TeX, still learning! Any help on this area would be great, really think I'm doing this wrong by trying to write things out in matrices and contract Spinor indices.

A: I know this post is old, but I just wanted to remark that it is possible to use matrix multiplication here, provided one is somewhat careful. The equation
$(\bar{\sigma}^\mu)^{\dot{\alpha}\alpha} = \epsilon^{\alpha\beta} \epsilon^{\dot{\alpha}\dot{\beta}} (\sigma^\mu)_{\beta\dot{\beta}} = -\epsilon^{\alpha\beta} (\sigma^\mu)_{\beta\dot{\beta}} \,\epsilon^{\beta \alpha}$
can be written using matrix multiplication as
$(\bar{\sigma}^\mu)^T = -\epsilon (\sigma^\mu) \epsilon$
or, equivalently,
$\bar{\sigma}^\mu = -\epsilon (\sigma^\mu)^T \epsilon$
since $(A^T)^T = A$, $(ABC)^T = C^T B^T A^T$ and $\epsilon^T = -\epsilon$ ($\epsilon$ is skew-symmetric) for any square matrices $A$, $B$ and $C$ of the same size.
A short calculation shows that, if
$A = \left( \begin{array}{cc} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} \right)$
then
$-\epsilon A^T \epsilon = \left( \begin{array}{cc} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{array} \right)$.
Thus $\bar{\sigma}^0 = I$ and $\bar{\sigma}^i = - \sigma^i$ using matrix notation.

A: Multiplying matrices is not correct here. You need to work these things out using the definition, $(\bar{\sigma}^\mu)^{\dot{\alpha}\alpha}=\epsilon^{\alpha\beta}\epsilon^{\dot{\alpha}\dot{\beta}}(\sigma^\mu)_{\beta\dot{\beta}}$. We have, for example,
$$(\bar{\sigma}^0)^{11}=\epsilon^{12}\epsilon^{12}(\sigma^0)_{22}=(\sigma^0)_{22}=1,$$
while
$$(\bar{\sigma}^1)^{12}=\epsilon^{12}\epsilon^{21}(\sigma^1)_{21}=-(\sigma^1)_{21}=-1.$$
This shows how the negative sign is obtained in $\bar{\sigma}^1$ but not in $\bar{\sigma}^0$. The other cases can be worked out similarly.


It has been noticed that more and more CPAs are going for online CPE programs fairly than in-particular person lessons or webinars lately. Attending in-person courses is a time-consuming choice that quite often requires the CPA to sacrifice his treasured and most productive business hours. Furthermore, there may be a number of problem concerned in commuting with a view to attend these lessons. The case is hardly any different with webinars, as then you need to be current at a set time (when the webinar is scheduled). The charge can also be quite high for both the choices. On the other hand, with ONLINE CPE, CPAs are free from the strain of attending lessons at peak business hours. The online courses are fairly cost-effective as properly.
