DISTANCE LEARNING: Will You Succeed with Distance Education?
In the past few years the popularity of distance learning has skyrocketed. Almost everyone has heard of online schools and distance education, and you may be wondering if it is a good choice for you. Whether you are interested in completing your high school diploma, getting a university or college degree, or upgrading your career skills, distance learning may be an option for you. But distance education shouldn't be undertaken lightly. It is important to consider both the benefits and drawbacks when trying to decide whether distance learning is for you.
Distance learning is the name given to any type of information exchange that takes place across a physical distance. Also known as distance education, distance learning occurs when a student learns from a teacher who is located in a faraway place. It can be associated with existing schools or colleges, or distance learning can take place online, over the phone, or through the mail. Distance learning is now used commonly in education, and there are distance learning programs for those in elementary, secondary, higher, or continued education.
How is Distance Learning Achieved?
Distance learning can't take place in the same way as traditional learning does. Because traditional learning takes place in a defined space, students and teachers can more easily exchange information, both orally and visually. But with distance learning, students and teachers are not in the same physical space, and thus need to find another method of communicating.
Voice: Information in distance learning can be relayed by voice over the telephone or radio. Distance learning often involves telephone seminars or conferences in which students can discuss information and assignments with their instructor.
Video: Video is regularly relied upon when it comes to distance education. Tutorials and classes can be given to the student in the form of slides, film, or video.
Computer: With the help of recent technical advances, distance learning often takes place on the Internet or by using special learning management software. Files can also be sent and received over the computer.
Print: Using mail or fax machines, necessary reading materials can be sent directly from a teacher to a student. Assignments can then be submitted via fax or mail to the instructor for grading.
How Effective are Distance Learning Programs?
According to recent studies, distance learning is equally effective as traditional learning is. When students are motivated to participate and guide their own learning, distance education can provide them with a lot of skills and information that they can use to further their careers, study interests, and other life goals. The key to having a successful distance learning experience also relies on the abilities of the instructor to make full use of the technologies at hand to provide support to students.
Who Participates in Distance Learning?
the chance to maintain a flexible schedule.
the chance to use different technologies to learn new information.
the opportunity to meet new people in an online forum.
the opportunity to learn from home or from work.
the opportunity to design your own learning schedule.
Before you sign up for some distance education, take some time to consider whether or not it's really for you. Distance learning can be very effective for some people, especially those who learn well in a less structured learning environment. In particular, distance education is suited to those who can learn on their own and who have the dedication and time to put towards their learning. If you enjoy classroom settings and one-on-one interaction, distance learning may not be your best option. To find out if you will enjoy distance learning, ask yourself these questions?
Do I enjoy working by myself, or do I prefer working with others?
Will I miss the classroom atmosphere?
Can I motivate myself to fulfill my educational goals?
Do I have the skills to complete work that arrives in print, over the telephone, or via computer?
Am I self motivated, or do I prefer being motivated by others?


In the Christian life, we should be making progress that will be visible for others to see and notice. Are you making spiritual progress on your way to heaven?
How can we pray that with confidence? Because God's unlimited resources are available for the believer's holiness and conformity to Jesus Christ.
God writes His name on His people, and the name He writes is one that reflects His own righteousness and holiness. Believers are repeatedly called saints.
When you're around unbelievers and your lost family members, what kind of impression are you giving them of Christianity? One of Jesus or one of a Pharisee?


The number of violent incidents at work has declined over the last decade, with the incident rate remaining stable over the last four years. Findings from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) show that in 2012/13.
The risk of being a victim of actual or threatened violence at work has remained similar in the last few years with an estimated 1.4 per cent of working adults the victims of one or more violent incidents at work (CSEW).
In the Crime Survey for England and Wales 2012/13, 323,000 adults of working age in employment experienced work related violence including threats and physical assault.
There were an estimated 649 000 incidents of violence at work according to the 2012/13 CSEW, comprising 332 000 assaults and 317 000 threats. This compares to an estimated 643 000 incidents in 2011/12, an increase of 1 per cent. This change is not statistically significant.
The 2012/13 CSEW found that 1.2 per cent of women and 1.6 per cent of men were victims of violence at work once or more during the year prior to their interview.
It is estimated that 60% of victims reported one incident of work related violence whilst 16% experienced two incidents of work related violence and 24% experienced three or more incidents in 2012/13.
Strangers were the offenders in 60 per cent of cases of workplace violence. Among incidents where the offender was known, the offenders were most likely to be clients or a member of the public known through work.
Victims of actual or threatened violence at work said that the offender was under the influence of alcohol in 38 per cent of incidents, and that the offender was under the influence of drugs in 26 per cent of incidents.
Call Avensure if you require any further guidance and to assist with your procedures and policies for the event of harassment and violence at your workplace.

Q: UI-Router $stateChangeStart promise function As you may already be aware I'm using UI-Router with my AngularJS app. I have a page which accepts user input, lets call it a profile page for this matter. Within this page I have a save button where the user can save the information they inputted. That part works great there are no issues.
What I want to do is save the page/ information on state change. What I was thinking of doing is, within my controller is something like this:
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams) {

        saveFile();

    });

// Save Document
    function saveFile() {
        $(".page-loading").removeClass("hidden");

        html2canvas($('#main_page'), {
            // When image is rendered proceed with saving the file
            onrendered: function (canvas) {
                //$rootScope.contentJson.image = canvas.toDataURL();

                var html = $('#main_page')[0].innerHTML;
                for (var x in tmpList) {
                    if (tmpList[x].saveText === 'true') {

                        tmpList[x].element = tmpList[x].savedElement;
                    }
                    if (tmpList[x].saveText === 'tabs') {
                        for (var y in tmpList[x].tabType) {
                            tmpList[x].tabType[y].tabText = tmpList[x].tabType[y].savedElement;
                            tmpList[x].tabType[y].header = tmpList[x].tabType[y].savedHeader;
                        }
                    }
                    if (tmpList[x].saveText === 'table') {
                        for (var y in tmpList[x].layout) {
                            for (var z in tmpList[x].layout[y].row) {
                                tmpList[x].layout[y].row[z].text = tmpList[x].layout[y].row[z].savedText;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if (tmpList[x].saveText === 'accordion') {

                        for (var y in tmpList[x].accordion) {
                            tmpList[x].accordion[y].title = tmpList[x].accordion[y].savedTitle;
                            tmpList[x].accordion[y].content = tmpList[x].accordion[y].savedContent;
                        }
                    }
                }

                var data = {
                    'html': html,
                    'image': canvas.toDataURL(),
                    'json': JSON.stringify({"content": tmpList, "gallery": $scope.img, "audio": $scope.audio})
                };
                editorData.saveContent(data).then(function (response) {
                    $scope.pushAlerts('Saved');
                    $rootScope.lastSegment = '';
                    $(".page-loading").addClass("hidden");

                    // If its a new content
                    if ($rootScope.newElement == 'new-content') {

                        // Set Content ID
                        $rootScope.contentID = response.data.id;

                        // Set cookie for contentID
                        $cookies.put('contentID', $rootScope.contentID);

                        // Set new element to empty
                        $rootScope.newElement = '';
                        $cookies.remove('newElement');

                        // Redirect and populate contentID
                        $state.go('editor', {
                            topicID: $stateParams.topicID,
                            contentID: response.data.id
                        });
                        $state.reload();
                    }

                    var currentTime = new Date();

                    $scope.timeSaved = currentTime.getMinutes();

                });
            }
        });
    }

Which in my mind makes sense (maybe it doesn't in yours :) ). But the problem is the saveFile() function doesnt finish and state changes. Has anyone come accross a way for example to wait until this function finishes and only then continue with state change? Maybe create a promise?
Thanks

A: You can use event.preventDefault() to stop the state change from happening, save your file, then continue with the state change.
You can also modify your saveFile() to return a promise. (Check out documentation for $q)
(I've not tested this. There might also be a neater way to only prevent the change on the first stateChange.)
var savedFlag = false;

$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams) {
  if (!savedFlag) {
    event.preventDefault();

    saveFile().then(function (response) {
      savedFlag = true;
      $state.go(toState, toParams);
    }, function (error) {
      // handle error
    });
  }
});

function saveFile() {
  var deferred = $q.defer();

  html2canvas(..., {
     onrendered: function (canvas) {
        ...
        return deferred.resolve('success!');
     }
  });

  return deferred.promise;
}

Downtown Boys' Victoria Ruiz Is Probably Watching Beyoncé Live Videos Right Now
Photo by Farrah Skieky
Our interview series Icebreaker features artists talking about things—some strange, some amusing, some meaningful—that just might reveal their true selves. This edition features Victoria Ruiz, frontwoman for the fearlessly political punk band Downtown Boys.
How do you describe yourself as a dancer?
As a mix of Selena, Bruce Springsteen, and my 14-year old "discovering punk" dance self. I love dance so much. I spend a significant amount of the day watching Beyoncé Formation Tour videos.
If you could be in any band ever, which one would you choose?
The E Street Band
Who is an artist you love that people might not suspect given the music you make?
Kendrick Lamar. To be honest, I would rather play with Kendrick Lamar than, like, Bikini Kill or Nirvana.
What's a song you've heard recently that made you believe in the power of music?
"Young, Latin & Proud" by Helado Negro. I actually got to see him live last week, and seeing people's reaction to the song and the lyrics—there was just this feeling of desperation. And those are such simple words. When that urgency gets felt in such a heavy way—when someone finally puts sound to that thing that you've felt forever—that's when music gets really powerful.
Do you think your life would be better or worse without social media?
It would be worse because so many people of color, and punk people of color, rely on social media to find out about each other. I wouldn't have as many friends in real life as I have now without it.
What is your life motto?
Power concedes nothing without demand, but power does not concede.
What would you want to have written on your epitaph?
"Lived and died angry and happy."
What's the last song that made you cry?
"So" by War. It was one of my godfather's favorite songs. It was actually the last song he heard as he died. I really love the words to that song: "She went away, she broke my heart/Didn't you know?/I love you so."
What do you think is the worst aspect of modern music culture?
Just how there's this idea that you should be producing something constantly—and if you're not producing something, you should be in the media or playing a show with a band bigger than you. That if you're not climbing that hierarchy, you're not doing as much as you could. It's really hard.
What's the best advice anyone has given you?
My grandma told me: "Whatever you feel like you can do, that's enough." It's about remembering you aren't always starting from step zero, so just keep going at it.
What fictional character do you relate to the most?
What YouTube video have you watched the most times?
There's a really old "I'm on Fire" performance by Bruce Springsteen from the '80s that I've watched hundreds of times.
Do you believe in ghosts?
For sure. I definitely have ghostly interactions from family members, and a lot of historical ghosts. We feel the ghosts of people who have struggled for freedom. Their ghosts are present around me.
