Gerda Taro: The Woman Who Invented Robert Capa
Manuel Sechi
Gerta Pohorylle was born in 1910 in the German state of Stuttgart to a middle-class Jewish Galician family. She attended a Swiss boarding school, where she learned English and French and grew up receiving a secular education. In spite of her bourgeois origins, she became part of socialist and labor movements while still very young.
At the age of 19, she and her family moved to Leipzig, just before the affirmation of the German Nazi party. Gerta immediately showed her dislike and opposition to the regime, joining leftist groups and taking an active part in anti-Nazi propaganda activities.
In 1933, she was arrested and detained, charged with handing out flyers. Gerta was released after 17 days and decided — or perhaps her family decided for her — to leave Nazi Germany. She went to Italy for a short period and eventually moved to Paris.
The Legend of Robert Capa
Life was not easy in Paris. Gerta lived with some friends and held several jobs, including waitress, au pair girl, and model. In those days, Paris was the center of a vibrant artistic, literary and political life, and many of the young intellectuals who visited the cafes in the center of the town were immigrants. Gerta's proximity to the left-wing movements helped solidify her anti-fascist views, despite the influence of Nazi Germany beginning to feel heavy all over Europe.
In September 1935, Gerta was attending a shoot with one of her friends when she met a young Hungarian photographer. His name was Endre Friedmann, but he referred to himself as André. Like herself, André was a Jewish refugee fleeing the growing Nazi threat in Berlin.
André and Gerta soon fell in love. They started living together, and André taught Gerta everything he knew about photography. With his help, she got a factotum job in the Anglo agency Alliance. It was there that Gerta learned about photographic and print processes, and she began to become interested in photojournalism, eventually working as a picture editor for the same agency.
In 1936, Gerta received her first photojournalist credential, but André was struggling to find clients for his photo work. They were both determined to find their place in the photojournalism industry. In order to overcome the increasing political intolerance prevailing in Europe and get access to the lucrative American market, they decided to get rid of their Jewish surnames and started to sell their pictures using the fictional name "Robert Capa."
The deal was simple: Gerda would sell the pictures by Capa, an American, rich, famous, and elusive photographer, temporarily living in Europe, who only communicated through his assistant, André.
Using this pseudonym, Gerta and André covered the events surrounding the coming to power of France's Popular Front in 1930. Their secret was soon revealed and, still working together, André kept for himself the artist name Robert Capa, while Gerta adopted the professional name Gerda Taro.

Gera Taro in Spain
In 1936, the Spanish Civil War broke out, and Gerta and André decided to move there to closely follow the events. Gerta soon became very emotionally involved in the Spanish Civil War, empathizing with the suffering Spanish people and cementing her hate toward the fascist ideology of the rebellion, openly supported by the German regime.
They made several trips to Spain, documenting the Republican soldiers' departure to the front and the refugees moving from Malaga to Almeira. Next, they covered the war events in Aragon and Córdoba.
Although Gerta mostly used Rollei cameras and André preferred Leica, they often exchanged their gear — making the pictures indistinguishable based on camera format — and sold the images under the brand "Capa-Taro."
Gerta soon began working more independently. She became publicly connected to a circle of anti-fascist European intellectuals and begun to publish her work, under the "Photo Taro" label, for magazines such as Life, Regards, and Illustrated London News.
In July 1937, while reporting on the Valencia bombing, she shot the pictures which are her most celebrated: the images depict the inside of the morgue where dead bodies from the recent attack lay, as well as the crowd outside filled with desperate people looking for news of their friends and relatives.
A few days later, André went to Paris, France, to discuss business with some photography agencies while Gerta moved to Brunete, Spain, where Franco's troops were preparing to retake the small town from the Republican forces. The battle turned against the Republicans, and Gerta was trapped in the trenches, where she kept taking photographs until she ran out of film. She then joined the Republican army retreat headed toward Madrid, traveling onboard a car full of injured soldiers. On the way, the convoy was attacked by German planes supporting Franco's troops.
In the midst of the attack, a tank lost control and ended up against the car Gerta was in. The photographer fell to the ground and was hit by the tank. Gerta was taken to the hospital, but it was immediately clear that her wounds were too serious. After a brief surgical procedure, the doctor asked to give her all the necessary morphine to relieve the pain in her last hours. The next morning, Gerta passed away at the age of 26.
A funeral was held a few days after in Paris and was attended by thousands of people. News of Gerda Taro's death spread all over the world and caused a great response, particularly in France where the public opinion was particularly sympathetic toward the anti-fascist figure. And because of her dedicated reporting of the Republican effort during the Spanish Civil War, she was declared an anti-fascist martyr. She was buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris on August 1st, 1937, the day that would have been her 27th birthday.
The Mexican Suitcase
After Taro's death, Capa kept shooting pictures of the Spanish Civil War. Another photographer, David "Chim" Seymour, who met Capa and Taro in Paris, was working in Spain, documenting the exodus of the Republican Spanish refugees heading to Mexico. They both sent negatives to Paris, where Imre "Csiki" Weisse, Robert Capa's assistant, cataloged and kept them in special cardboard boxes.
In October 1939, while German troops were moving to Paris, Capa was forced to flee to New York, leaving all his gear and negatives in his lab in Paris. From that point, Capa's negatives of the Spanish Civil War were missing, and so was much of the memory of Gerda Taro.
In 1975, in a letter to Robert Capa's brother Cornell, Imre Weisse remembered the Spanish War negatives. He wrote:
In 1939, while German forces were approaching Paris, I put all Bob's negatives in a bag, then took my bicycle heading to Bordeaux, hoping to find a boat to Mexico and put the negatives on it. On my way to Bordeaux, I met a Chilean who promised me to take in custody the bag and deliver it to the Chilean embassy.
The bag with the negatives eventually made its way into General Francisco Aguilar González's hands. At the time, González was a Mexican ambassador to the Vichy government in France. González then brought back it to Mexico with him when he returned.
Cornell made countless attempts to trace the negatives but with no luck. The negatives finally reappeared in 1995 when Mexican film producer Benjamin Traver inherited them from an aunt who was a close friend of General González's. Traver contacted New York's Queens College professor Jerald R. Green to ask for advice on how to preserve the negatives and eventually make them available to the public. Green was also a close friend of Cornell Capa and informed him about the letter.
In 2003, during the preparation of an exhibition dedicated to Capa and Taro, museum curator Brian Wallis contacted Traver asking to return the negatives. Traver refused. He knew the negatives belonged to Capa and believed the Capa Foundation should take possession of them. But he also knew they represented one of the most important documentations of the Spanish Civil War.
It was only in 2007 that an independent curator and director living in Mexico City, Trisha Ziff, convinced Traver to pass the boxes to the Capa's International Center of Photography in New York, which had more resources to make them available to the world.
The rediscovery of the Mexican suitcase shed new light not only on the events of the Spanish Civil War but also on the personal life and work of Gerda Taro. She was not just Robert Capa's partner: on some occasions, she actually was Robert Capa. She was a figure who was partially forgotten about over almost 70 years. Taro's family lost their lives during the holocaust and Capa met his death in 1954, so there was no one else to testify to her bravery in shooting pictures in extremely dangerous situations, as well as her capacity to empathize with the suffering Spanish people.
Some of the pictures originally attributed to Robert Capa were later discovered to be Taro's. The images in the Mexican suitcase showed her innovative way of working close to the soldiers in the trenches rather than in the offices where strategic decisions were made. But they also showed how her work, with the same relevance as the work of her more celebrated lover and colleague, had made a huge contribution to the definition of the role of the modern war photographer and photojournalist.

I am an orphan. My parents were taken away from me forcefully at the age of 4 1/2.
I am 80 years old. Not one day has passed without thinking of my parents and grieving.
Yes, 75 years later I still miss them.
I remember them the day they were torn away from me by the French police who handed them over to the Nazis. This is my first and only memory of them.
France was at war with Germany and the ghastly enemy occupied France.
Never in my worst nightmare could I have imagined that I would see a repeat of what I have experienced happen today in this country I love so much.
It is inconceivable that our government that has been the beacon of democracy to the rest of the world could conceive such a horrendous plan, a plan that separates the children from their parents to deter others to undertake a very perilous journey to freedom and hope, with no check and balance.
To tear children away for their parents is a crime unless the parents have committed a crime against their children or vice versa.
To add to the immorality of such a deed, the children have been hoarded in cages not for one night but for days, weeks and perhaps months. The incompetent, cruel, Nazi-like architects of such evil did not even keep track of their wrongdoing. Some of these children may never be reunited with their lawful parents.
What are the next steps we may encounter with the continued degradation of our government's morality?
In the last two years, we have witnessed a war on the media, a courageous media doing a difficult job in reporting the true facts despite the constant barriers encountered in the process.
We have witnessed a war on politicians and former government employees speaking about the outrageous lies heard on a daily basis.
The damages inflicted on this country by the incompetence and the moral corruption that this administration has shown will take years, if not decades, to erase.
"If freedom of speech is taken away," George Washington told a group of military officers in 1783, "then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."
This could be the future of America if we do not exercise our voting privilege.
Let's vote this November to stop the hemorrhaging.
Leon Malmed is a Holocaust survivor and a concerned citizen.

The Amazing of 10 Highest Mountains in Indonesia
by Susanti January 31, 2021
Indonesia consists of mountains that surrounded most of the Indonesian islands. The most region in Indonesia has at least one mountain that gives the most beautiful scenery to the city.
Speaking of the mountain, Indonesia has some common active volcanoes with the highest peak of the mount. Most of them spread properly from Sabang to Merauke that makes Indonesia surrounded by them.
This time we will bring you into the highest mountains in Indonesia that incredibly amazing to watch. Let's see some of them below!
1. Puncak Jaya
Puncak Jaya mountain is the highest mountain in Indonesia that has about 4,884 meters above the water sea of height. It is located in Puncak Jaya regency, Kotamulia district, Papua. It becomes one of the UNESCO world heritage sites in Indonesia since 1999.
Puncak Jaya is popular with the Carstensz pyramid with the glacier around the peak. The mountain becomes the only mount that has an immortal glacier in Indonesia. around the mountain, it has a beautiful Lorentz national park with so many floras such as the rarest orchid in Indonesia, and some faunas that you can only find it there.
2. Puncak Mandala
Puncak Mandala mountain becomes the highest mountain in Indonesia after Puncak Jaya. It has about 4.760 meters above the seawater or around 15,620 ft in height. It is located in Bintang regency, Papua, and not far from the border of New Guinea.
Such as the Puncak Jaya mountain, the Puncak Mandala also has a beautiful glacier at the peak. Because of global warming, the glacier seems lesser from time to time.
3. Puncak Trikora
Puncak Trikora mountain is the third highest mountain in Indonesia, located in West Papua, Papua. It has about 4,751 meters above the water sea and surrounded by so many beautiful forests such as Montane forest, the forest of Dipteropkarp hills, Ericaceous forest, and the forest of Dipterokarp Bawah.
Puncak Trikora is popular with the Wilhelmina mountain, the Osua Trikora, or the Wilhelmina peak. The start base towards the peak starts from the Dany city in Lembah Baliem, Wamena that popular with the Baliem valley festival.
4. Ngga Pilimsit
Ngga Pilimsit is the fourth highest mountain in Indonesia, located in Papua around the Maoke mountains. It has about 4,717 meters above the water sea or around 15,476 ft in height. The highest peak near the mount is the Puncak Carstensz of the Puncak Jaya mountain.
Ngga Pilimsit is popular with the Idenburg mountain while the Dutch imperialist came to Papua. Some of the expedition by the Dutch government was sent to the peak at that time.
5. Kerinci
Kerinci mountain becomes the fifth highest mountain in Indonesia that located in Jambi, Sumatra. It has about 3,805 meters above the water sea of height. It is surrounded by the beauty of Kerinci national park that popular with the Rafflesia flower.
The Kerinci mountain becomes the most beautiful border between the Minangkabau tribe in West Sumatra and Kerinci tribe in Jambi province. It becomes the most active volcano in Sumatra so that people more aware of the eruption.
6. Rinjani
Rinjani mountain becomes the sixth highest mountain in Indonesia, located in the north of Lombok regency, West Nusa Tenggara. It has about 3,726 meters above the seawater of height and becomes the most favorable mountain to hike among Indonesian hikers.
Rinjani mountain is surrounded by the Rinjani national park. It has beautiful natural scenery and the Segara Anak lake. Besides, it becomes the second-highest of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia after Kerinci mount. That makes everyone aware of the volcano mount eruption in Indonesia. Even so, Indonesian hikers prefer to hike this mount so much rather than another mountain.
7. Semeru
Semeru mountain becomes the seventh highest mountain in Indonesia that located between the Malang Regency and Lumajang regency, East Java. It becomes the highest mountain on Java island with the popular peak of Puncak Mahameru. It has about 3,676 meters above the seawater.
The Semeru mountain is surrounded by the Bromo Tengger Semeru national park, Montane forest, the forest of Dipterokarp hills, and Ericaceous forest. Ranu Kumbolo and Cemoro Kandang becomes the most favorite spot for hikers to take a shelter while hiking towards the top.
8. Sanggar
Sanggar mountains become the eighth highest mountain in Indonesia that located in West Nusa Tenggara. It has about 3,564 meters above the seawater and becomes the parts of the Rinjani mountain.
Just like the Rinjani mountain, the Sanggar mountain also has epic scenery that every hiker loves the most. Besides, it also surrounded by the beautiful rain forest with so many floras and faunas of Lombok.
9. Latimojong
Latimojong mountain becomes the ninth highest mountain in Indonesia that located in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. It has about 3,478 meters above the seawater with the popular peak of Bulu Rante Mario.
Latimojong mountain becomes the most favorite mountain to hike with a challenging track in about 2 – 4 hours to reach the top. The starts base towards the top is starting in the Karangan village which you should take a registration there.
10. Slamet
Slamet mountain becomes the ten highest mountain in Indonesia, located in Central Java. It has about 3,428 meters above the seawater and spreads among five regencies of Banyumas, Tegal, Purbalingga, and Pemalang. It becomes one of the most active volcanoes in Central Java after Merapi.
Slamet mountain becomes one of the most favorable mountains to hike in Central Java. Besides, it is surrounded by the rain forest and so many beautiful tourism spots such as Baturaden, Guci, and many more.
So, there are some of the highest mountains in Indonesia that has incredible scenery to watch. Have you ever hike towards one of them?

A central area in number theory is the study of special values of L-functions of automorphic forms, which are analytic objects. Many of the problems in number theory can be studied in terms of the L-function of certain automorphic forms. One fruitful way of studying the special values of these L-functions is through the p-adic interpolation of these values, for a prime p. This is carried out through the Bloch-Kato Tamagawa Number Conjecture and the Main Conjecture of Iwasawa theory. These conjectures relate the p-adic interpolation of special values of L-function which are analytic objects with arithmetic objects known as Selmer groups.
In a vast generalization, by considering an infinite extension of a number field whose Galois group is a p-adic Lie group, many deep and beautiful conjectures were formulated relating objects of arithmetic nature, again typified by a Selmer group of Galois representations and p-adic nature of their corresponding L-functions.
We have carried out a study of an important invariant that tells us about the structure of these Selmer groups. We are also interested in studying the p-adic nature of representations of Galois groups which are fundamental in understanding the Selmer groups.

Nearly 1 million Albertans vaccinated this flu-season | CHAT News Today!
Medicine Hat, AB - Since the 2018-19 Influenza Program started in October, 998,842 Albertans have been vaccinated to this point.
Alberta Health Services released their second flu-report for the season and the numbers are still relatively mild for the south region.
To date, a total of 77,206 people have been vaccinated in the south zone. This number is up from several weeks ago, when 67,872 had received their shot.
Within our region, the number of confirmed Influenza A cases has nearly doubled from 33 to 76. The provincial total sits at 1,985.
There is still only 1 confirmed case of Influenza B within the south zone, which is unchanged from the last report.
A total of 4 people have been admitted to hospital due to the flu, contributing to the total of 427 Albertans province-wide.
Since the last reporting period, a total of 6 people have died due to lab confirmed influenza. 5 of those people come from the Calgary health zone and the last person was reported from Alberta's north zone.
Over the past three years, a total of 19 people have died in the southern zone due to the influenza virus. These are the lowest totals per zone over that same time-frame.
One thing we've certainly kept an eye on is the amount of confirmed influenza A and B cases throughout the years.
In 2015-16, there were 272 confirmed cases of influenza A. The next year, this number slightly increased in the south zone to 278. During the 2017-18 season, influenza A impacted a total of 417 people.
Cases of influenza B have also been on a roller-coaster ride over the past three years.
After a confirmed 154 cases in 2015-'16, that number was nearly sliced in half the next year to 83. Just like influenza A, the number of confirmed cases for influenza B rose significantly last year to a total of 214 reported cases within the south zone.
The number of hospitalized patients in the south also fluctuated over the three years. 2015-16 (128), 2016-17 (126) and 2017-18 (192).
The easiest way to prevent the spreading of influenza is to get immunized. People should become accustomed to washing their hands more than normal or using hand-sanitizer.
When it comes to influenza, use common courtesy by covering your cough or sneeze into your arm or a tissue; not your hand. If you're feeling terrible, be sure to not impact others by staying home.
There is one more opportunity to get your flu-shot at Higdon Hall today (Nov. 29) from 2 p.m - 6 p.m.

Citroën C5 Aircross PHEV to be released mid 2020
C5 AircrossCitroënEMP2FrancePHEVPSAUK
Citroën has presented the new C5 Aircross Hybrid, which is offered in the UK at gross list prices starting at £35,340, or in France at €39,950. Deliveries are scheduled to start in mid-2020.
In the compact SUV, Citroën is relying on the smaller of the two possible PHEV variants. PSA's EMP2 platform basically allows the combination of a combustion engine with an electric motor on the front axle and optionally a second electric motor on the rear axle. In contrast to the Opel Grandland X Hybrid4, the all-wheel-drive version is not used here, but rather the one with pure front-wheel drive.
In other words, the plug-in hybrid offers a system output of 165 kW, to which the electric motor contributes 80 kW. The battery with a capacity of 13.2 kWh enables a purely electric WLTP range of up to 50 kilometres. The battery is charged exclusively with AC, but the built-in onboard charger is designed for single-phase only. At an appropriate wall box or public AC charging point, the charging time should be less than three hours; at a household socket, Citroën indicates the charging time as seven hours.
The charging flap itself is located on the left side of the vehicle above the rear wheel, the tank nozzle is on the right side. The charging cable can be stored in a compartment under the boot floor. According to the manufacturer, the PHEV version retains the variability of the boot. Since the battery is installed under the rear seats, the loading capacity remains at 460 to 600 litres. In addition, the individual rear seats can be lowered, moved and adjusted. When the backrests are folded down, a 1.90-metre long storage area is created.
All in all, Citroën has focused on the comfort of the vehicle, according to the press release. The tuning of the "Advanced Comfort Suspension" is intended to filter out disruptive factors and increase driving comfort. The front side windows are also made of insulating laminated glass to ensure that acoustic comfort is maintained in quiet electric operation. Citroën is even so convinced of its development that it is quickly converting the SUV abbreviation of the Sports Utility Vehicle into a "Silent Urban Vehicle".
The new Citroën C5 Aircross Hybrid will be produced in Rennes-La Janais, France, and will be delivered from mid-2020. According to Citroën, the C5 Aircross is the prelude to the electrification offensive. The French company promises to offer electrified versions for 80 per cent of its models by 2023 and for the entire model range by 2025.

Sacha Baron Cohen Being Sued For $95m After 'Lie' He Told A Judge
By : Lucy Connolly On : 14 Dec 2018 15:19
Getty/Showtime
A judge is suing Sacha Baron Cohen for $95 million (£73 million) because of the 'lies' he told to get him on his programme.
Former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore appeared on Cohen's political satire/prank show Who is America? believing he was talking with 'anti-terror expert' General Erran Morad.
Of course, he was actually speaking to an in-costume Cohen. In the segment, 'Morad' waved a 'paedophile detector' across Moore's body as a demonstration. As it beeped, he pretended to look confused, saying the device must be faulty.
71-year-old Moore originally filed a claim for 'Defamation, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and Fraud' regarding his appearance on Cohen's show. And he is now claiming that he was 'fraudulently induced' to appear on the satire series earlier this year, as reported by Deadline.
The former Alabama Senate candidate has claimed this week that the contract he signed regarding his appearance is void, as he states the agreement referenced 'made-up' networks and false characters.
Specifically, Moore states that he was led to believe he was filming with the Yerushalayim TV network on February 14, but this does not exist.
His most recent filing claims that Cohen, Showtime Networks, and CBS use such tactics to dupe guests into appearing on their shows.
The filing by Moore and his wife Kayla Moore states:
There are at least two primary misrepresentations at issue.
The first misrepresentation was that Judge Moore was being flown to Washington DC to receive an award for his support of Israel, when in actuality it was so that he could be falsely portrayed as a pedophile on national television.
The second misrepresentation was that the television segment was being produced by Yerushalayim TV, and not Defendant Cohen, Showtime, and CBS.
The document goes on to say:
These misrepresentations were clearly and admittedly fraudulent and material, and they induced Plaintiffs to sign the 'Consent Agreement'
During his appearance on Who Is America? Moore appeared indignant at the suggestion it was he who had triggered the beeping, as the detector only beeped when it was pointed towards him.
Before walking off set, he informed Cohen:
I've been married for 33 [years] and never had an accusation of such things.
Last November, multiple women made sexual misconduct allegations against Moore, with some claiming he had assaulted them when they were teenagers and he was an adult.
These allegations were made during Moore's bid for the Alabama Senate, which he then lost to Democratic candidate Doug Jones.
Moore has continued to deny the allegations made against him, and previously made the following written statement:
These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign.
Roy Moore is suing Sacha Baron Cohen on the grounds that he defamed Moore's stellar reputation as a twice-removed judge and disgraced pedophile.

Thermal imaging camera technology has dramatically progressed since the first prototypes in 1992. What were initially expensive, bulky, weighty and temperamental pieces of equipment have evolved into essential tools that are small, lightweight and affordable. Originally developed by the military for use in combat it was once an expensive technology with limited application in civilian situations. However, technological advancements have meant that these cameras now serve many other useful purposes but none is more suited than within the fire services. Scott Safety is one of the leading experts and innovators in developments of thermal imaging technology. In particular, its Eagle Attack Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) has generated international interest and arguably sets a strong benchmark for its quality, design and cost.
Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) (made up of Hereford, Worcester, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Malvern, Droitwich, Evesham and Redditch services) attend approximately 9,000 emergency incidents each year, many of which require the use of thermal imaging equipment. With existing equipment coming to the end of its serviceable life, HWFRS decided to review the thermal imaging market to ensure they had the latest expertise and technology. A range of cameras from suppliers on the Consortium Framework were trialled and tested at the Services Hot Fire Training facility. Fulfilling a set of strict requirements involving cost, durability and practicality, the Eagle Attack was chosen, securing Scott safety another successful contract.
Scott Safety understands that TICs are vital to allowing the Fire and Rescue Services to quickly and safely respond to emergency situations and therefore the necessity of a functional, reliable and up to date product is paramount. The Eagle Attack thermal imaging camera fulfils these requirements and delivers the performance, quality and durability that modern day fire fighters demand.
Weighing only 765 grams, the Eagle Attack is one of the lightest and most portable cameras in the industry. Designed for ease of use, the single button operation enables the device to be switched on within two seconds and its ergonomically designed handle is comfortable to hold. Its high resolution and anti-glare display provides users with exceptional image quality and functionality not normally available in lightweight imagers. The innovations in design and production of the Eagle Attack have also allowed for economies in the purchase price too. With its low unit cost, Fire and Rescue Services are able to afford at least one camera for each fire appliance which will undoubtedly improve efforts in search and rescue attempts.

I often ask my parents what college — and, therefore, learning — was like before the Internet came to be.
Because when I enrolled at Indiana University in 2005, the Internet ran the show. My classes were organized, registered and configured online, and assignments were often distributed in virtual environments. Moreover, tests, quizzes and assessments were also often administered via the Web — most of the time as I sat in my underwear with a big bowl of cereal, a side of beef jerky and a healthy helping of Steely Dan. Those were the days.
Point being, my entire adult learning experience has revolved around learning through technology. Much of what I know about learning today (I am 24 years old) is filtered through the use of e-learning, or learning technologies.
So when I sat down to chat with my younger sister, who started her freshman year of college a few weeks ago, I was astonished to find the progress that's been made — particularly in the mobile learning space.
This ADL Mobile Learning Handbook is compilation of mobile learning resources. This is a living document and will be regularly updated. Please send any suggestions for additions or changes to adlmobile@adlnet.gov. There is a condensed version (called the ADL mLearning Guide for demo use on a mobile device) also available through a browser at http://mlearn.adlnet.gov or in various platform stores.
Basics - What mobile learning (or mLearning) means, its capabilities and use opportunities, potential benefits and common concerns.
Planning - List of choices to consider for appropriate use of mobile devices in learning, including questions to assist in planning.
Examples - Examples of mobile learning projects and initiatives of interest.
Best Practices - Lists of tips for instructional designers and developers.
Learning Content - Tips and best practices for mobile learning.
Development Options - Tools, native applications and mobile web apps; pros and cons of both types.
Design Considerations - Information on hardware models, features, operating systems, displays, accessibility, connectivity and other advanced mobile capabilities.
Mobile Learning Tools - Products available for the creation, deployment and management of mobile content.
Resources - Recommended links for additional information on mobile learning.
Note: ADL does not endorse any products mentioned in this handbook. Specific devices and applications are provided for informational purposes only to help introduce the concepts related to mobile development for learning or human performance support.
Think small and not huge when you do your first project. At mLearn, we heard stories from companies such as PwC, Abbott Pharmaceuticals, the Federal Bank of Chicago, and several others.
With one billion devices expected to have mobile broadband Internet connections, the impact of mobile communication cannot be underestimated.
With this growth in mobile devices, it seems appropriate to ask what completely new things might be afforded by mobile media for learning.
Theory aside, it seems common sense that instruction should be performed in the most authentic context possible to practice and demonstrate useful learning, which mobile learning environments can facilitate.
As I walk down State Street, a mile-long strip of eateries and shops near the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus, I decide to try something new for lunch. In an instant, my cell phone is out and I touch a small black icon, launching Siri, a free app I downloaded while riding the bus the previous day. I press the record button and speak into my headset: "What's the best noodle restaurant nearby?" Three seconds later, a list of five restaurants appears onscreen, each with user reviews, online menus, phone numbers, reservation options, and business hours. A single touch yields a map with my current position and the best walking path to the restaurant I select.
While eating, I open the foursquare app with my free hand and touch the "Check in" button. This tells the service where I am and awards me a few points for doing so, continuing a silly competition with a few friends about who can earn the most points this week. Simultaneously, a tweet goes out from Twitter and my Facebook status is updated in case anyone I know wants to drop by for lunch. For five additional points I leave a tip for future patrons of the Vientiane Palace by typing, "The spring rolls are nice but a bit overpriced IMHO."
After dinner, the sun has set and I am in my backyard with my wife looking up at a particularly clear night. We see a very bright point in the north sky and notice that looks more orange than any of the other stars, which begins an ill-informed debate about whether or not it is a planet. A few seconds later, I launch the Star Chart app, and we hold the phone up above our heads between us and the sky so that the screen acts like a small window to the heavens. Full of stars, the screen tracks the sky as we move, turn, and point the device at different areas. In real time, the software connects the dots and superimposes the constellations on the points (see Figure 1). Another touch on the orange dot and we see a photo of Mars displayed as an overlay on the sky with information about its size and distance from Earth.
Wikipedia defines mobile learning as "Any sort of learning that happens when the learner is not at a fixed, predetermined location, or learning that happens when the learner takes advantage of the learning opportunities offered by mobile technologies".
In other words, mLearning decreases limitation of learning location with the mobility of general portable devices1.
Simply put, mobile learning is the acquisition or modification of any knowledge and skill through using mobile technology, anywhere, anytime and results in the modification of behavior2.
• Mobile Technology – refers to any device that is designed to provide access to information in any location, or while on the move.
• Terms such as teaching and training are not used in this definition. It is not suggested that these methods of facilitating learning will disappear; however, greater emphasis will be placed on self-directed learning.
• The behaviorist idea of an 'alteration in behavior' is used because as the information age continues to progress, more people will have access to knowledge, often and easily. However, without an alteration in behavior, it is not deemed to be learning.
mLearning - Viral Notebook | Michael M. Grant, Ph.D.
I am concerned that mLearning is headed down a similar path to eLearning. The saying, "There's an app for that," seems to reflect this sentiment that all mlearning is equal. No matter what you're trying to teach or how you're trying to teach there seems to "an app for that," and mlearning is what we're going to call it. And this is where I think we start to mash-up the meaning (pun intended).
Wikipedia, which funnily doesn't reference any of the others.

Find the right Litigation attorney in Little Falls, MN
Litigation Lawyers in Little Falls
Commercial Litigation in Little Falls, Minnesota is civil litigation that arises out of a business transaction, or some other dispute between two businesses, or between a business and a customer. It can appear out of nowhere, and arise out of almost any business situation.
In Little Falls, Minnesota, you should expect any form of commercial litigation to be expensive and perplexing. While large and sophisticated companies are well-equipped to deal with civil litigation, and are frequently the ones facing it, civil litigation in Little Falls, Minnesota can also arise between those who are not nearly as accustomed to handling it, such as individuals and small businesses.
Common Sources of Commercial Litigation in Little Falls, Minnesota
Commercial Leases: Most businesses in Little Falls, Minnesota operate from a single physical location, despite the rise of the Internet and e-commerce. These locations are often in rented space, which is usually more cost-effective than purchasing real estate just for the purpose of operating a business. These rental agreements are laid out in documents called "commercial leases." Like every other contract, these leases are occasionally broken. If the parties cannot resolve the ensuing dispute amongst themselves, they might have to resort to commercial litigation.
Sales of Real Estate: When buying real estate in Little Falls, Minnesota, a lot of things can go wrong, possibly making commercial litigation crucial. In these cases, things like title defects (when the seller doesn't actually own the land or house that they're selling), physical defects in the property that weren't disclosed to the buyer, or a buyer's failure to tender payment on time, among other things, can all lead to commercial litigation.
Sale of Goods: The sale or purchase of personal property is another common source of commercial litigation in Little Falls, Minnesota. For instance, a restaurant owner might order tomatoes from a supplier, and fail to pay for them. The owner might argue that the tomatoes were rotten and unusable when they arrived, and he therefore does not have to pay. Obviously, if the two parties can't resolve this dispute somehow, they will have 2 options: simply let it go, and likely never do business with one another again, or go to court, and resolve it through civil litigation.
Business Loans: Frequently, when a business gets started in Little Falls, Minnesota, it has to take out a loan from a financial institution. If the business fails to make timely payments on the loan, it's possible that litigation will result.
Breach of Contract: When an individual or business in Little Falls, Minnesota, agrees to exchange something of value for something else of value (such as a product in exchange for money), they have entered into a binding agreement called a "contract." This means that each party can use the law to compel the other party to execute their commitments under the terms of the contract. If someone fails to perform under the agreement, commercial litigation is one avenue to resolve the resulting dispute.
How Can a Little Falls, Minnesota Commercial Litigation Lawyer Help?
If you are operating a business in Little Falls, Minnesota, it's likely pretty clear that commercial litigation can arise from almost any business deal, and that a dispute leading to litigation rarely comes at a convenient moment. So, it's critical to be prepared for any reasonably likely commercial litigation scenario.
A commercial litigation attorney in Little Falls, Minnesota can be very helpful in that regard. Your lawyer can advise you of your legal commitments, as well as your legal rights. Knowing what is required of you, and the individuals you deal with in a commercial context, is the best thing you can do to avoid commercial litigation, and to succeed in a dispute, should one occur.
