PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT BY STEVE BARRETT Cold Plasma for Tumor Eradication T H E F D A H A S G R E E N L I G H T E D a phase 1 clinical trial for cold atmospheric plasma technology that kills remaining microscopic tumors following tumor resection. Researchers at Purdue University and other institutions developed an electrosurgical scalpel to spray cold plasma on lingering cancerous cells or tissue. The two- to seven-minute process targets tumors exclusively, sparing surrounding healthy tissue, according to findings of in vitro and in vivo tests as well as use of cold plasma in compassionate-use cases. That contrasts with lasers that could also kill cancerous tissue but would permanently harm nearby healthy tissue. Highlighting the technology's potential uses, Purdue points to the 20%–40% of women in the U.S. who currently must undergo additional surgery following partial mastectomy because of marginal tumors missed during the initial procedure. n Wearable Sensors to Analyze Sweat S C I E N T I S T S AT T H E University of California, Berkeley, and VTT-Technical Research Centre of Finland have developed sweat-analyzing, wearable skin sensors. The goal is to provide real-time information about conditions such as dehydration and to make blood draws or other invasive procedures less necessary. The team of researchers tested the skin-adhering sensors on volunteers during exercise and on another group of participants in whom perspiration was chemically induced. According to findings published in Science Advances, the sensors monitor concentrations of metabolites, such as glucose, and electrolytes, such as sodium, as well as the rate of perspiration. "Traditionally what people have done is ... collect sweat from the body for a certain amount of time and then analyze it," Hnin Yin Yin Nyein, a lead author of the paper, says in a news release. "So you couldn't really see the dynamic changes very well with good resolution. Using these wearable devices, we can now continuously collect data from different parts of the body to understand how the local sweat loss can estimate whole-body fluid loss." n Intact-Ring Removal for Swollen Fingers "O N T H E O T H E R H A N D, there's a golden band," a country tune reminds us. The dilemma is, clinicians often have to remove rings before certain procedures — such as cautery, during which rings can cause sparks and burns — but patients with swollen fingers are loath to see their wedding bands or other rings snipped off. FDA-cleared RingRescue, designed by Canadian scientists, seeks to resolve that issue. RingRescue incorporates a tube that fits over the swollen finger and creates air pressure to reduce swelling and permit removal of the ring without damaging it, according to the manufacturer of the device. Potential applications include use on patients whose fingers have swollen because of anything from pregnancy to bee stings to sports injuries. n M D N E W S .

egnomac They may be video games but they really left the players feeling saddened by the outcome of the journey.
Come one, the entire premise and the central themes are centered around wasted life opportunities. For God's sake the main character is a depressed College drop-out suffering from dissociation, anger issues, and possibly much more colorful emotional turmoil.


Only in the People's Republic of California could such idiocy happen.
I had heard about this case before, but I hadn't heard of the outrageous stupidity of the city of Riverside in actually having the gall to sue a gun manufactuer because a couple trigger-happy cops pumped off 23 shots at a black woman.
Riverside, CA: On December 28, 1998, Tyisha Miller, a 19 year-old black woman, was fatally shot and killed by three white and one hispanic police officers.
Early Monday morning, Tyisha Miller was in her car waiting for relatives to come help her change a flat tire. When the relatives arrived at the Riverside gas station shortly after 2 a.m., the two cousins were unable to wake Miller in her locked car and called 911. Officers responding to the call found the white Nissan Sentra locked and the engine running. According to The Associated Press, police said Miller was unconscious and foaming at the mouth, presumably as the result of an epileptic seizure, and appeared to be unconscious. Officers then saw a handgun in Miller's lap, which according to later police reports, belonged to a friend, and was inoperative. Relatives said she probably had the gun to scare off would-be muggers because it was late at night and in a dangerous part of town. The officers decided that paramedics would not be allowed on the scene until Miller's gun was retrieved. Police attempted to rouse Miller by ''screaming and hollering'' and pushing and banging on the car.
Police say Miller reached for the gun and that was when they opened fire. District Attorney Grover Trask told a news conference that of the twenty-three shots fired by the police, Miller was hit 12 times. Four of the bullets struck her in the head. A coroner's report indicated all the bullets entered her body from the back. The officers were subsequently fired and Police Chief Jerry Carroll later stepped down from his position. Attorney Johnnie Cochran said he will file a wrongful death lawsuit and civil rights action on behalf of the family. Several reports are available about the killing at Yahoo!News and www.Channel2000.com.
Follow up: Incredibly, the city of Riverside claims in a lawsuit filed 4/06/00 that the police murder of Tyisha Miller is the fault of the manufacturer of the handgun! The city's attorney said that "This whole thing would not have occurred but for the presence of this loaded Lorcin L380." The lawsuit claims that by failing to educate users, "Lorcin proximately caused any and all harm sustained by Miller and her parents resulting from her tragic death" in spite of the fact that Tyisha Miller was not the owner of the handgun. This kind of pathetic excuse is tantamount to "The dog ate my homework" or "The Devil made me do it." Whenever city government officials begin trying to use outrageously lame excuses like this for their own evil actions, you begin to suspect that something is seriously wrong with our government officials. If they win the case in court on that basis, it's time to start rounding up the militia.

Drinks trolley by George Freedman, Sydney
Made by Freedman, George in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 1988.
The trolley is an example of the work of George Freedman, one of the most influential interior designers to work in Sydney. It is also an artefact of the 'designer' restaurant boom of the 1980s.
George Freedman and Tony Bilson were leaders in Sydney design and hospitality. Bilson's Berowra Waters Inn, designed by Glenn Murcutt during the late 1970s, set the mould for the marriage of creative food in carefully designed settings. Bilson brought this concept to the city in 1982 when he commission...

Drinks trolley, steel / glass / Customwood / rubber / granite, Bilson's (Quay) Restaurant, designed and made by George Freedman, Tim Allison and Mark Shamburg, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 1988.
A restaurant drinks trolley, comprising a plated steel frame supporting two platforms. The upper platform is glass, the lower is covered with non-slip rubber (usually used for flooring) with a black granite edging. A pair of spoked bicycle wheels with inflatable tyres support the rear of the trolley; the front is supported by a castor concealed by a cylindrical Customwood shield.
At lower rear is an opening Customwood box for openers, discarded corks etc.
George Freedman (b.1936) grew up in Brooklyn, New York and studied architecture at Syracuse University. During the 1960s he worked as an interior designer for architect Ely Jacques Kahn, whose work spanned the decades from Art Deco to the post-War International Style.
Feedman then worked for Knoll International; in 1969 Knoll sent Freedman to Sydney to design corporate rooms for the Bank of NSW. He stayed in Australia and formed a partnership with Neville Marsh, establishing Marsh Freedman in 1973. Freedman's early work in Sydney was mainly commissioned by corporate customers but he quickly established a reputation and wide connections. During the 1980s Freedman became a Sydney celebrity for his designs for Kinselas and Bilson's restaurants; other Freedman restaurant projects included Chez Oz and Senso Unico. From 1986 to 1988 Freedman supervised the interior design of the Powerhouse Museum.
In partnership with Ralph Rembel as Freedman Rembel, Freedman's recent projects have included the refurbishment of the Queen Victoria Building, Sydney, and set designs for the Sydney Dance Company. This partnership was dissolved during 2010, when Freedman joined PTW Architects.
Freedman, George Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 1988
In 1988 Tony Bilson opened an a la carte restaurant in the newly renovated Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay West. Aimed at a more affluent and touristic market than Bilson's previous projects, the new restaurant was designed by George Freedman.
The drinks trolley was designed and used at Bilson's and in its later incarnation as Quay restaurant.

Anyone who knows me will know my obsession with boots and how I've always been opposed to wearing any sort of ballet flats at all. It's been a strong opinion of mine for a very long time, but then so was my hate for pointed shoes and now I won't shop for a pair of heels that are without a point to them. These flats (along with pointed cut out pairs) have changed my mind about the ballet flat style shoe.
Melissa is a brand that I've admired from afar for quite some time, seeing my favourite bloggers don them for events and even their wedding (shout out to Milly ♥) has made me crave them and I often find myself lusting over a pair of the Ultragirl peep toe heels.
The Campana Fitas are so unique, I feel as though I could wear them in any colour that these rose cut out design is available in Though the bronze and rose gold shades are calling me the most, I feel like they are the perfect flat for a dressy outfit where heels are just too much or simply not required. The rose gold pair would especially go with so many different colours and styles and so I think they're my favourite of all and so will be the first pair of Melissa Shoes that I'll add to my ever-growing shoe collection.

Unter Schriftgutverwaltung (auch Aktenführung, -haltung) versteht man die systematische Aufzeichnung insbesondere von Geschäftsvorgängen und -ergebnissen. Synonym werden die aus dem Englischen stammenden Begriffe Recordkeeping und Records Management verwendet; zum Teil wird der Begriff auch mit "vorarchivische Schriftgutverwaltung" übersetzt (in Abgrenzung zur dauerhaften Archivierung (englisch records preservation or archiving)).

Definition
Im internationalen Standard ISO 15489 sind die Grundsätze und Verfahren einer systematischen Aktenführung umschrieben und normiert. Die Norm bietet einen Leitfaden für die Verwaltung von Unterlagen von öffentlichen und privaten Organisationen.

In der Norm ISO 15489 wird Schriftgutverwaltung definiert

PricewaterhouseCoopers definiert Schriftgutverwaltung als Methode

Zentral für Schriftgutverwaltung sind die Prozess- und Dossiersicht sowie die Betrachtung des gesamten Lebenszyklus von Akten. Damit ist gemeint, dass neben dem eigentlichen Inhalt von Records (Content) auch der Entstehungszusammenhang (Context) von der Entstehung bis zur Vernichtung oder Archivierung gegen Ende des Lebenszyklus berücksichtigt und dokumentiert wird.

Schriftgut (Unterlagen/Akten) sind alle geschäftsrelevanten Informationen, unabhängig vom Informationsträger, welche bei der Erfüllung von Aufgaben erstellt oder empfangen werden. Dazu gehören auch alle Hilfsmittel und ergänzenden Daten, z. B. Metainformationen wie Eingangsdatum oder Historisierungsdaten, die für das Verständnis dieser Informationen und deren Nutzung notwendig sind. Die Verwaltung und Organisation des Schriftguts ist eine Daueraufgabe die bereits bei der Aktenproduktion ansetzt. Eine organisatorische Herausforderung ist die Verwaltung und Nachweisführung der hybriden (digitalen und physischen) Geschäftsunterlagen.

Elemente der Aktenführung
Funktionale und technische Mindestanforderungen an eine systematische Aktenführung sind nach Staatsarchiv Basel-Landschaft folgende Elemente:
 Organisationsvorschriften
 Organisationsvorschriften regeln verbindlich den Aufbau und den Ablauf der Aktenführung (Aufgaben, Zuständigkeiten, Verfahren und Mittel). Sie müssen von der Dienststelle laufend nachgeführt werden und werden vom Staatsarchiv regelmäßig auf ihre Einhaltung hin überprüft.
 Zugriffs- und Bearbeitungsrechte
 Die Zugriffs- und Bearbeitungsrechte müssen klar geregelt sein in Bezug auf die Dossiers beziehungsweise die Unterlagen und die Metadaten. Als Metadaten gelten die beschreibenden Merkmale zu Ordnungssystem, Dossiers und Unterlagen.
 Ordnungssystem
 Das Ordnungssystem muss nach dem Aufgabenprinzip aufgebaut sein und alle Tätigkeiten der Dienststelle umfassen. Es muss angemessen detailliert und ausbaufähig sein sowie eine einheitliche Systematik aufweisen. Bei Änderungen des Ordnungssystems muss die Konsistenz der Ablage gewährleistet sein. In der elektronischen Ablage werden alle abhängigen Objekte (z. B. Aktenzeichen) automatisch angepasst.
 Dossierbildung
 Alle registrierten Unterlagen (konventionell oder elektronisch) sind in Dossiers abzulegen. Alle Dossiers müssen einen eindeutigen Titel, ein Eröffnungs- und ein Abschlussdatum enthalten sowie dem übergeordneten Ordnungssystem eindeutig zugeordnet sein. Bei Bedarf können die Dossiers weiter unterteilt (z. B. in Unterdossiers) oder zusammengeführt werden. Organisatorische und technische Maßnahmen müssen sicherstellen, dass die geschäftsrelevanten Unterlagen eindeutig zugeordnet und nur einmal registriert werden. Die Zuständigkeiten für die Eröffnung und den Abschluss der Dossiers müssen entsprechend klar geregelt werden.Ein Dossier respektive Subdossier kann sowohl elektronische Unterlagen als auch Papierdokumente enthalten. Zusätzlich können Dossiers respektive Subdossiers Referenzen auf Objekte enthalten, die physisch an anderer Stelle – z. B. auf Bild- oder Tonträger – aufbewahrt werden.
 Metadaten
 Ordnungssysteme, Dossiers, Subdossiers und Unterlagen müssen mit Metadaten versehen sein. Diese werden zur Abwicklung von Geschäften benötigt und sind Grundlage der Nachvollziehbarkeit der Geschäftstätigkeit. Metadaten helfen bei der Verwaltung der erhaltenen beziehungsweise erstellten Unterlagen über deren gesamten Lebenszyklus, liefern zusätzliche Informationen über eine Unterlage und erleichtern deren Auffinden. Die Dienststellen können die für sie notwendigen Metadaten selbst definieren.Bei der Einführung von elektronischen Aktenführungssystemen muss dem Staatsarchiv Basel eine Auflistung der Metadaten zur Beurteilung unterbreitet werden.
 Aufbewahrung und Verwendung der Unterlagen
 Die Unterlagen müssen so aufbewahrt werden, dass sie während ihres gesamten Lebenszyklus jederzeit bei Bedarf für autorisierte Benutzer rasch auffindbar sind und in ihrem Kontext zur Verfügung stehen. Der Lebenszyklus umfasst das Erstellen beziehungsweise Empfangen, die Registrierung und Ablage sowie die Archivierung oder Löschung der Unterlagen. Den konventionellen und elektronischen Dossiers sind eindeutige Ablagestandorte zuzuweisen. Abweichungen von diesen Standorten müssen nachgewiesen werden. Ablagestandorte können sein: Zentral-, Abteilungs-, Gruppen- und Arbeitsplatzablagen.Die Bewegungen von Unterlagen sind bedürfnisgerecht zu protokollieren. Dadurch kann jederzeit der Standort der Unterlagen nachgewiesen und die Verantwortung definiert werden.
 Schutz und Sicherheit der Unterlagen
 Die Dossiers und Unterlagen müssen den Sicherheitsanforderungen entsprechend mit organisatorischen, technischen und baulichen Maßnahmen vor unautorisierter und unprotokollierter Veränderung sowie vor Verlust geschützt werden.

Aktenbildung
Die Geschäftstätigkeit beruht auf dem Prinzip der Schriftlichkeit und findet ihren Niederschlag in der systematischen Aktenbildung mit Dokument, Vorgang und Akte.
Die Aktenbildung unterstützt die Geschäftsbearbeitung und gewährleistet die Nachvollziehbarkeit der Geschäfte. Sie basiert auf den Elementen:
 Erstellen und Empfangen von Unterlagen
 Registrieren der geschäftsrelevanten Unterlagen

Grundsätzlich sind drei Arten von Ablagen möglich: Reine Papierablagen, hybride Ablagen und rein elektronische Ablagen, die grundsätzlich durch eine buchmäßige oder eine geschäftsmäßige Ablage unterschieden werden.

 Elektronische Unterlagen
 Wird die elektronische Unterlage als die maßgebliche bestimmt (Master), muss mittels geeigneter organisatorischer und dem technischen Stand entsprechender Maßnahmen sichergestellt sein, dass sämtliche Änderungen protokolliert werden.Bei der Konvertierung von Papierdokumenten in ein elektronisches Format (Scannen) muss das ursprüngliche Originaldokument detailgetreu reproduziert werden. Die Rechtsgültigkeit von Unterlagen muss berücksichtigt werden.
 Unterlagen erstellen heißt
 Dokumente während der Geschäftsabwicklung verfassen (z. B. Briefe, Berichte und Protokolle)
 den Dossiers Informationen beifügen (z. B. Anmerkungen)
 bereits bestehende, registrierte Unterlagen bearbeiten (z. B. neue Versionen generieren)

Von Unterlagen können mehrere Versionen vorhanden sein. Ausgewählte Versionen können speziell gekennzeichnet werden (z. B. Schlussversionen). Frühere Versionen können nicht verändert, aber reaktiviert werden

 Unterlagen registrieren
 Sämtliche erstellten und empfangenen (Briefpost, Fax, E-Mail) geschäftsrelevanten Unterlagen müssen registriert werden. Registrieren bedeutet:
 Unterlagen einem Geschäft zuordnen (Dossierbezeichnung)
 Unterlagen mit weiteren Metadaten versehen
 Unterlagen ins Ordnungssystem integrieren (Amtsablage)
 Dossiers und Unterlagen archivieren
 Archivieren beinhaltet die Übergabe archivwürdiger Dossiers und Unterlagen in unverschlüsselter Form an das Archiv. Der Zusammenhang der Unterlagen (Dossierstruktur, Metadaten) muss erhalten bleiben.Die Ermittlung der Archivwürdigkeit erfolgt durch das Archiv. Zur Erleichterung der Archivierung kann das Archiv zusammen mit den Dienststellen geeignete Instrumente erarbeiten (Kassationslisten, Archivierungsvereinbarungen).Nicht archivwürdige Dossiers und Unterlagen sind zu kassieren (Papier) respektive zu löschen (elektronische Unterlagen).
 Dossiers, Unterlagen und Metadaten löschen
 In elektronischen Aktenführungssystemen müssen die Dossiers, die Unterlagen und die Metadaten nach Ablauf der administrativen Aufbewahrungsfrist unter Berücksichtigung des Archivierungsvorbehaltes gelöscht werden können. Allfällige spezialgesetzliche Regelungen (z. B. Datenschutz) sind zu beachten. Sämtliche Löschungen müssen protokolliert werden.

In an try and understand the complexities of the current and get ready for the uncertainties of the long run, many southern farmers looked for order and which means of their stories of the previous. In Southern Farmers and Their tales, Melissa Walker explores the ways that a various array of farmers keep in mind and recount the prior. The booklet tells the tale of the modernization of the South within the voices of these most influenced through the decline of conventional methods of existence and paintings. Walker analyzes the habitual styles of their narratives of swap and loss, filling in gaps left via extra traditional political and financial histories of southern agriculture. Southern Farmers and Their tales additionally highlights the tensions inherent within the dating among historical past and reminiscence. Walker employs the concept that of "communities of reminiscence" to explain the shared experience of the earlier between southern farmers. heritage and reminiscence converge and form each other in groups of reminiscence via an ongoing strategy within which shared meanings emerge via an complex alchemy of recollection and interpretation. In her cautious research of greater than oral historical past narratives, Walker permits silenced voices to be heard and forgotten types of the earlier to be reconsidered. Southern Farmers and Their tales preserves the shared stories and meanings of southern agricultural groups no longer purely for his or her personal sake yet for the capability good thing about a quarter, a state, and an international that has a lot to profit from the teachings of earlier generations of agricultural providers.

It's Thanksgiving time and (if you can resist the pressure from the malls and media to ignore it in order to push Christmas shopping) its lesson of GRADTITUDE is one that is vitally important for us today.
Ironically , the image of the pilgrims celebrating, in the wake of such unimaginable hardship, is sometimes difficult to comprehend. Nonetheless, it stands as an important reminder for us that , in even the worst of times, there is always something for which to be grateful.
Today, especially, when the threats and uncertainties of the world can be overwhelming, it is important to understand that getting in touch with our sense of is an gratitude is not only a nice thing to feel but that it is an integral part of our mental and spiritual health. That said, in the midst of difficult times, accessing a sense of gratitude is not easy. It is important to understand the obstacles that keep us from feeling gratitude so that we may re-capture this profound awareness. Here are some observations and tips to help us to increase our awareness and deepen our appreciation of our blessings.
— Depression , Anxiety and Stress can leave us with a distorted sense of reality which feels worse than it actually is.
— Disappointment, Fears, Angers and Resentments can narrow our focus to only the negative things of life and make us lose a balanced perspective which includes the good.
— Taking life for granted and forgetting how challenging our existence can be as well as just getting too comfortable when times are good creates a false sense of entitlement and makes us less appreciative of the good things we enjoy.
Become Intentional — Make it a conscious goal to be more appreciative and grateful. Pay attention when good things happen. Write them down in a "Gratitude Journal".
Take time — On regular basis review and reflect on your blessings and give thanks .
Don't forget Your Past — Take time from time to time to think about and recall the tough times and challenges that you have been through. Remember the times that you thought were hopeless but that turned out okay.
Regain a Balanced Perspective on Life — Stepping back provides a larger panorama on you life which puts things into a better perspective. A balance perspective helps you to see things in more accurate proportion. Bad thing don't seem so big and good things stand out in sharper detail.
Do a Reality check of your Expectations — Life is hard but it's not impossible. People who experience gratitude realize how treacherous life can be understand that it could be a lot worse. People who have trouble with gratitude either have false sense of entitlement or they so trapped in a pit a negativity that trusting positive developments is difficult. It is critical to realize that either falsely optimistic or negative expectations can distort the way we experience life and mislead us, Challenging our assumptions can open our eyes to blessings that we have overlooked or missed.
Taking good times for granted or feeling skeptical that good times even exist are extremes that are easy to fall into. Appreciating that life is very difficult but NOT ALL THE TIME. True gratitude arises from the discovery of the contrast of how wonderful good times our when seen in the context of loss and pain. While it is easy to lose a sense of gratitude, it is important not to let these feelings of indifference harden .
Fortunately, there is hope and there are effective techniques to help you recover a more appreciative outlook on life and to experience a deep sense of appreciation for the good that is real and present there.

I had a mad idea.
I had been asked by the Computers in Education Society of Ireland (CESI) to present a keynote speech with my good friend and colleague Elizabeth Oldham at the CESI conference on 10th March 2018 at Dublin City University. I told Elizabeth about my idea and suggested we dramatise disagreement from time to time in the speech and then ask the audience to settle our dispute. She agreed!
So, Keith started me off with a first go at a program for each Microbit. Then I tried at our CESI•CS meetings to get participants to try and solve the problem – they all came up trumps within only an hour or so, some with no experience at all – amazing!
In each case, we discussed design processes, collaboration and the project work proposals in the Leaving Certificate for Computer Science. There were good discussions about foundations, progression and continuity, since all the CESI•CS meetings included primary and post-primary teachers.
So, having established feasibility, I set about making something Elizabeth would be prepared to wear, so cut up an old shirt and got stitching and glueing according to this fabric flower design.
Behind her flower (and with no adornment on my wearable) was a Kitronix Zip Halo fixed to a Microbit, and with a safety pin provided by Adrienne Webb (thanks!) Elizabeth pinned it to her cardigan, and I mine to my shirt.
The final task was to complete the programming. With Keith's inspiration and the many design conversations and prototypes made by CESI•CS participants, I finally completed the code with two hours to spare – I only had time to test with three audience voting Microbits, so there was no certainty it would work. Once in the room and with minutes to spare, we set about downloading the audience program to a pile of Microbits generously lent to me by Stephen Howell of Microsoft. It couldn't be done without the generous help of Stephen Howell, Keith Quille, Tony Riley and John Hegarty. We think we had over fifty voting in the room!
I leave it to the reader to puzzle out how it all worked and will welcome suggestions for improvement!
I recently worked with colleagues to offer similar workshops at two conferences – SCoTENS 2017 in Dundalk (with Pamela Cowan from Queens University Belfast and Elizabeth Oldham from Trinity College Dublin), Ireland and ATEE 2017 in Dubrovnik, Croatia (with Nina Bresnihan, Glenn Strong and Elizabeth Oldham, all from Trinity College Dublin).
The workshops introduced our ideas about using a version of paired programming to give confidence to novices in programming. We had developed these ideas, together with colleagues Mags Amond and Lisa Hegarty, also from Trinity College Dublin, through the CTwins project funded by Google's CS4HS – Computer Science for High School.
The workshop slides for ATEE 2017 also included 'Art' in the title, since it was my notion that developing an art project would be personally fulfilling.
Nevertheless, I feel that as well as considering the tool design, we must also shift attention to the activity and mental models that I believe learners symbiotically develop alongside their use of the Scratch tool. The Logo programming language developed in 1967 and its turtle geometry microworld is one of the most potent developments to recognise such activity and mental modelling – although I believe not the earliest (I believe sentence generation using lists preceded it?).
In the turtle geometry microworld, the computational object is a robot turtle on a stage, equipped with a pen to trace out lines as it moves according to program steps.
Scratch starts with a different microworld sporting a cat rather than a turtle and is a particular kind of computer game with interacting sprites. It leaves in the jigsaw blocks for a turtle geometry microworld but they are somewhat spoiled by the sideways view of a stage rather than the top down view of the space that the turtle inhabits.
In the conference workshops we asked completely novice learners (adults using Scratch and ScratchJr) to program knock-knock jokes, with two sprites and message passing to synchronise the joke-telling activity.
Ghost: No need to cry!
Secondly, we asked the adults to humanly perform their own jokes working in pairs, so that one adult would be the first actor in the joke and the other the second. I was building on the concept of 'body syntonic' which is so powerful in the turtle geometry microworld, but in this case, it is the act of interactive joke telling that forms the mental model of the problem, to be then expressed formally in programming and debugged.
In the Scratch turtle geometry microworld, the pen jigsaw blocks are the foundations of formally expressing the acts of an imagined turtle with its pen. Children (and adults) can 'be' the turtle and act out the actions either bodily or in their heads, exercising their mental model of the turtle, which may then help them debug their formal expressions in code (jigsaw blocks).
In one instance of the workshop, to my delight, one learner added other blocks, using repetition to tell a more complex joke.
So perhaps the set of immediately available jigsaw blocks should reflect the microworld the learner's imagination and mental models are anticipated to inhabit? I would go further and propose microworld-appropriate stages (and stage views, as we have in Turtlestitch and Beetleblocks), sprites and costumes. In Turtlestitch I would propose a spider sprite/costume and indeed rename it Spiderart or some-such. Perhaps there should be a choice of microworld, "I'm doing turtle geometry today" which leads one to the set of jigsaw blocks most appropriate to that microworld? I emphatically do not mean that this means restricting access to the wider set of jigsaw blocks, simply that it provides the best recommendations from the menu for the kind of restaurant you want / are ready to eat in.
To extend an already overworked metaphor, after the learner has been eating at diverse restaurants, each founded in the same underlying elements of heat, ingredients and combination, perhaps they would begin to strengthen their knowledge of the invariates which inform the mental models that underly their understanding of notional machine and programming language?
I presented at the third annual Computing at School conference, reporting Nili Naveh's research in a seminar I proposed to discuss the research into childrens' conceptions in computing. The central issue is the contrast in the attention paid to children's conceptual development in maths and science compared to computing. In maths and science, research has established a Piagetian analysis based on data of what percentage of children can achieve which conceptual understanding at a range of ages, and this is the basis for the National Curriculum levels. Clearly this should not be used as a straitjacket – there is a diversity in attainment and children are often underestimated. Teachers have excellent tacit knowledge of this, but I argued it may be helpful to articulate this more clearly and to construct a data-gathering exercise from schools across the country. We had a good discussion, thanks to some really good presentations earlier in the day which gave good fuel for our debate. Here are my slides: Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs.
The second annual Learning on the Beach unconference #lob11 has just scattered – I am blown away, boiled, invigorated and inundated – and that was just the weather. We were a self-select group of 'old lobsters' like me @richardmillwood and some fresh faces like @squiggle7 – the value of this mix in challenging the norms of indoor education was enormous.
This enjoyable meeting to share research got me talking about the effort to build a National Archive of Educational Computing and the issues for research, practice and policy.
The slides are here, although they were woven from a pretty odd set of threads!
A real buzz of learner-centred excitement surrounds the reports of iPod projects presented here – especially the desire to create rather than simply consume resources. Interesting reports of large and small scale use including ESSA Academy's 1 to 1 roll-out. Working with Friezland's Year 3 was a treat and reinforced what I learnt from listening to delegates, that iPod and App store had simplified the whole management issue so much that kids and teachers could take charge and feel empowered.
More at the iPodTouchConf2010 Ning.
This TeachMeet was brave enough to throw the rules up in the air and try a new plan – and mostly it worked! I enjoyed the way the break-outs gave more intimate discussion and flexibility, but I missed the quickfire and serendipitous action of the random speaker. Most of all there was a mature relationship with commercial sponsors who were very much present, but respectfully supportive – thanks to all of them.
There were great talks from Drew, Tom and Ollie and others I didn't hear, but I also loved the Max's 'next thing coming' talk with augmented reality, Blue Peter style. As ever with Teachmeet there was a mix of old-timers (I mean you Penny) and newcomers (Edith) and enthusiasm in buckets.
I'd like feedback on this mind map.
You can also download an A3 PDF poster of it.
This conference is taking place on Wednesday with about 50 folk – I know many others would have liked to come, but this is only a start and there'll be more. For those unable to be there, there will be plenty of reporting to come, and you can download the conference pack and archive leaflet right here.
More importantly, if you have a story to contribute about your experiences with educational computing over the last four decades, contribute it in the stories section of the National Archive of Educational Computing website and if you want to do more, fill in the form in the support section.
The JISC Regional Centre South West recorded and webcast my closing keynote to their conference using Adobe Connect and you can find the recording here. Thanks to Melanie Roberts at JISC RSC SW for managing the slides & chat and to her colleague who filmed and recorded sound so expertly. It was interesting to go back over the transcript from the four remote participants and see what worked (and not) for them – movies seem to be a bit of a problem, a shame since I had taken the trouble to transcribe and dynamically subtitle some of them using Quicktime text tracks – how does that get routed out to Adobe Connect?
The Learning Through Enquiry Alliance conference at Sheffield University is a breath of fresh air – practitioner led, but research oriented, but above all a sense of camaraderie with many others struggling with the ideas we have been exploring for the last five years.
A 'world café' exercise to break the ice led to my re-draft of an action inquiry model on the tablecloth, adding my latest concern for 'feeling' based on my interest in John Heron's work. I have added a 'FEEL' aspect – feeling the need to improve, feelng curiosity which relate to Heron's ideas of zest and interest around delight. We have for a long time talked about exhibiton as a mode of assessment – I have clarified in this diagram by adding the word 'celebrate', that this is as important to feeling as it is to knowledge and communication.
My first post about TeachMeet was a hurried blog in case Ewan offered a prize for the first person to Blog the event!
More reflection, and waiting until the end, allows a more thoughtful blog which fills in some of the blanks.
Blank 1 – why speak about delight?
It was delightful to be able to speak about delight, and to discuss with colleagues in the breaks to 'orient' my thinking about this important topic.
I feel the need to put some intellectual effort into a mantra, 'delight is important in learning', which I have been chanting uncritically for over fifteen years.
I believe delight is one of the sources of motivation, perseverance and retention which softens the pain of the 'hard yards' in learning.
I believe delight (and more generally fulfilment) is an entitlement for learners, as they learn, not when they pass exams.
Blank 2 – what a stonking set of presentations!
I failed to mention the wealth of speakers and the high quality of their ideas and practices on parade. Egocentrically, and only after Drew Buddie had pointed it out, I was struck by the chickens coming home to roost from Ultralab's and Apple Teacher Institute work in the early 'noughties', such as movie making and stop-motion animations around social and serious issues. More moving were the confident presentations from folk like Sarah Hackett on using Moodle to teach folk fiddle and Tom Whitehead on animal shape poetry workshops, both researchers from Ultraversity, these along with many others were inspiring.
I had volunteered to be the meeting end of an online video-conference for those who couldn't be arsed couldn't get to Redbridge. 🙂 Thanks to David Noble, Anthony Evans and Nic Hughes for making it all so easy. It seemed to work well, using FlashMeeting and connecting my Apple MacBook Pro to a Canon digital video camera with a firewire cable and using a directional microphone to get the best quality – I rely on reports from participants as to whether this was effective and I apologise now for the time through the break when I went to get a beer and got cornered in the bar – I came back to find the camera pointing at the ceiling! I only regret not carrying through my original plan to use a second data projector so that the audience in the building could see the participants out there and perhaps respond to their questions and comments. Next time.
I have been speaking on the issues surrounding Social Software in learning here at the Heads of eLearning Forum meeting in Coventry.
The participants in Learning@School have brought so many laptops it broke the wireless! I am here in New Zealand with Patrick to present at this massive teachers' conference organised by Core Education. I have two workshops on 'Delight in Learning' and a keynote to present on 'Learners at the Centre' at the end. In fact I have just finished the first workshop and learnt some really useful ideas of how delight happens in learning, which will be reported on the conference web site (I will edit this post then to include a link).
Here at TeachMeet enjoying the liveliest set of presentations and most enjoyable debate – more fun than the rest of BETT put together.

Vincent Trocheck's line leads Panthers to 4-1 win over Bruins and into first place
By Harvey Fialkov

BOSTON — Last week Panthers general manager Dale Tallon told a reporter that Vincent Trocheck saved the season with his emergence as a top-tier centerman.
On Thursday night in the Panthers' house of doom, Trocheck, with some help from his linemates, continued to prove Tallon right when the trio carried his team to a 4-1 victory over the dreaded Boston Bruins in a playoff-like battle for Atlantic Division supremacy.
Trocheck, Jussi Jokinen and Reilly Smith each scored goals, including a game-winning shorthanded tally, to help the Panthers snap a nine-game losing streak in TD Garden where they hadn't won since Dec. 8, 2011.
More significantly, the two points enabled Florida to leapfrog over the idle Lightning back into first place of the Atlantic Division and set up inarguably the most critical meeting in the history of this budding intra-state rivalry on Saturday night in Tampa.
"They had a tough road trip and played last night so we tried to take advantage of them and keep on them the entire 60 minutes,'' Trocheck said. "This was huge for us. [Saturday] is just another game like tonight, the biggest game of the year to date.''

Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo, who has undergone his share of anguish in the TD torture chamber dating back to losing the Stanley Cup Finals with the Canucks in 2011, was sensational in net with 34 saves.
Luongo, who had gone 0-6-1 in his last seven games here, robbed a point-blank baseball-like shot by former teammate Jimmy Hayes in the closing seconds of the second period to preserve Florida's 2-1 lead. And then he taunted Hayes with the puck.
"It was a big win, especially in the standings, things are tightening up,'' Luongo said. "Most important we played a big third period. We didn't sit back, we kept pushing, scored another goal and didn't just try to defend the lead; that's why we won.
"It's a hockey rink like every other one and they all play the game the same way.''
The Panther opened up a five-point cushion over third-place Boston, who they just may be on a collision course with in a first-round playoff encounter.
But not before a riot almost broke out. The fans booed vociferously and littered the ice at 8:03 of the third period when after a lengthy review from the Situation Room in Toronto ruled that the evidence was inconclusive regarding Patrice Bergeron's stuff-shot on the goal-line that would've forged a 2-2 tie.

"When it first happened I thought it was a goal because it happened so quick and Lou's pad was coming across,'' Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. "When I seen the replay in our video room I said, 'No, it's not a goal.' ''
Less than three minutes later Jokinen redirected Dmitry Kulikov's shot from the point for a huge insurance goal, his 16th. Jonathan Huberdeau applied the frosting with an empty-netter with 20.9 ticks left.
The Panthers reached 91 points to match last season's output with eight games remaining, and could possibly clinch a playoff berth next week.
The Panthers were outshot 15-5 in a scoreless first period. The closest anyone came to scoring came on Matt Beleskey's wrist shot that squibbed past Luongo, only to have Panthers defenseman Steve Kampfer smother the puck before it crossed the goal-line.
"It was a collective team effort,'' said Kampfer, who sported his first Spacey in Space MVP hoodie. "It's definitely fun to beat them, but more importantly it puts us up further in the standings.''

The Bruins continued to dominate puck possession until Ryan Spooner unleashed a wrist shot from the top of the circle at 7:42 of the second. Then the Trocheck-led line took over. Jokinen crossed a pass to Trocheck, whose snapper caromed off goalie Tuukka Rask right to Smith, the former Bruin, for the rebound goal.
"We focused on if we do end up playing them sometimes in the playoffs we put in a good effort tonight and show who we are,'' said Smith, whose 24th goal tied Trocheck and Jaromir Jagr for the team lead.
Tied at 1-1 with Jiri Hudler in the box for goalie interference, Trocheck snared a turnover in Boston's zone and soared up ice before spinning Loui Erisson around for his trademark wrister, the Panthers' fourth shorty of the season.
The Bruins, who had gone 13-1-1 versus the Panthers in their last 15 meetings, including 3-0 this season, was coming off a brutal road trip in which they scored five goals in a season-long four consecutive defeats, including a 5-2 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday night. Make that five straight losses for the first time since 2010.

"SEO – What Is It? A Beginner's Guide To SEO" written by Mike Marko.
Do you ever wonder how websites manage to appear on the top page of a Google search result?
SEO is the answer to that.
That's the question that comes to the mind of every person who is only beginning to learn online marketing. SEO is an aspect of online marketing that is quickly gaining recognition due to the longevity of its effects.
SEO is not as easy to understand as search engine marketing. Rather, the method employed is complex and requires a better understanding of how search engines works.
In this article, we'll be discussing what SEO is and how it can be used to improve your own website.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO What Is It?
To make your web page rank higher in search results organically, you will need to use SEO.
The advantage of this is, unlike SEM, basic SEO can be free (though good SEO costs money). However, it is also a lot more complex than one may think.
SEO – what is it? SEO stands for search engine optimization. This refers to a group of techniques employed by website owners to improve their ranking on search engines.
Using SEO involves using keywords, improving site speed and creating a richer and more mobile-friendly interface. Search engines typically rank websites based on these factors, alongside other on-page and off-page factors.
However, the criteria for ranking can often change depending on updates done on the search engines.
For example, updates on Google can result in your website rank fluctuating despite your efforts. It is then important to stay informed of updates and to make changes accordingly to stay on top.
If you don't want your competitors to get ahead, you need to keep your website at the top of search results. To do this, ensure that your website is SEO-optimized.
SEO increases your website's visibility to people searching relevant keywords. This means that the higher your rank is, the more traffic your website will get.
Yes, SEO always works on any webpage unless you're doing it wrong. I've even used SEO to rank social media pages.
Keep in mind that SEO changes frequently to adapt to a search engine's algorithms. Google constantly tweaks the way it ranks websites in order to give its users the best possible results. You must be able to respond to these changes instantly.
If the SEO that you're using isn't working, then you're probably using an outdated technique. This can have a negative impact on your website that can result in a lower website rank or removal from the first page of the search results.
SEO is the fastest way to get traffic on your website. But before you proceed making optimizations, you need to index your site to Google. Doing so makes your website visible to Google's search results.
To index your website, submit a sitemap to Google through Google Webmaster Central. You can visit http://www.google.com/webmasters/ for more information.
Once you have completed this step, you can proceed with optimizing your website. There are different ways and processes involved but starting your optimization with on-site elements is recommended.
The page title and meta description make up the backbone of SEO. These are important as they inform the users and the search engines the focus of each page in your website. These greatly impact how your site will rank on the search engine.
Meta tags are also important in SEO. These are snippets of what is included in your webpage, but can only be seen on the backend as part of the website code.
You need to utilize inbound links or backlinks to have a SEO-optimized website. These are text links that lead to other pages or websites.
If you have inbound links, your website will receive referral traffic from other websites. A website that has many inbound links typically rank better.
There are very few services that provide quality inbound links. IM Consultant Services is one of those service providers that can help your website rank.
A website should have high-quality content that is relevant to the keywords used in searches. The content should also be original and not auto-generated.
It's important for you to showcase yourself as an expert to knowledgeable about a particular topic or subject.
When using keywords on your content, make sure they are well-written and not overused. Overusing keywords can result in a lower website rank as the search engine can read this as spam.
Ensure that keywords are strategically used.
It's also important to be consistent in posting content. This increases website traffic and informs the search engine that you are active.
In addition, the more you have on your website, the more opportunities you have for deep links.
Utilizing the wrong technique of SEO can negatively affect your website.
Avoid buying cheap links to convince Google that you have a worthy site. Instead, focus on earning them by having high-quality content or by outreaching to other websites. Consider hiring a company that are trained to use quality SEO service, such as IM Consultant Services.
Avoid stealing content from other websites just to have more posts. Create high-quality content to increase your engagement rate and ranking.
Never overuse the keywords in your posts. While this tactic used to be effective few years ago, it is now considered as a major no-no in SEO.
Final Thoughts on SEO – What Is It?
Although the concept of SEO has been around since the rise of the Internet, it's not until recently that it gained recognition as a crucial aspect of online marketing. However, it is still not a strategy that is as common as social media marketing or search engine marketing.
In this blog post, we tackled the most common question asked by many new marketers: SEO – what is it?
SEO is a technique employed by website owners to organically increase their visibility on the search results page. The ultimate goal of any website is to appear at the top of the page or, at the very least, on the first page.
Although it takes a lot of time and effort before results can be seen, SEO is effective when used properly. It also requires being aware of any updates being made on search engines as inability to respond to changes can mean lower website rank.
To ensure effectivity, focus on your website's page titles, meta descriptions and tags, content, inbound links and keywords.

This lens is made by Fuzhou Feihua Optoelectronic Technology (F&H), the company behind the Fujian branded 25mm F/1.4 and 35mm F/1.7 lenses. They make a large selection of cctv lenses including two 50mm F/1.4 lenses that are of interest to users of mirrorless cameras. One of the lenses is visually very similar to the 35mm and the other which I am reviewing here is of a different design and has been likened to a flashlight or a trumpet thanks to it's very large front element.
It's pretty well put together considering the price, it's all metal which is a good start and while the finish isn't perfect there's only so much you can expect from such a cheap lens and it certainly feels more solid than some of the plastic kit lenses the big companies bundle with cameras these days! The lens will fit an C-mount to NEX adapter fine and gives moderate vignetting on an APS-C sensor. On micro four thirds the image circle covers the sensor but the rear of the lens is slightly too large to screw fully into an adapter and the lens will require modification. On some lenses the entire rear of the lens needs attention but with this lens it's just the focus ring which should simplify matters, I haven't attempted to modify the lens yet but the focus ring appears to be held in place with some small screws so it may even detach entirely in which case it could either be left off or certainly trimmed much more easily.
The lens is similar to the F&H 35mm in a lot of ways, it has the same small circle of focus in the central portion of the frame giving way to much swirliness around the edges. With the 35mm lens I found it was extreme field curvature causing this and that the lens could be focused with some degree of sharpness towards the edges but never at the same time as the centre. With this lens I find the edges are soft even if you attempt to focus specifically at the edge so you could say it was somewhat inferior in this aspect.
The lens has very nice bokeh and highlights are rendered in a more neutral fashion than with the 35mm which tended to have rings around circular highlights, a quality I found appealing but I can understand that some will prefer the smoother look this lens provides. The lens is very prone to flare and loss of contrast when the sun is in or near the frame so a hood might be something to consider if this bothers you. The colours from this lens are very vivid and well saturated but the contrast can be somewhat weak at times especially when flare rears it's head.
Overall the images this lens delivers are very imperfect but very fun, the more I use lenses like this the more I realise that they are tools that have much creative potential, you can achieve a look to images with theses lenses that you just cannot match with more expensive conventional optics so a direct comparison is not only unfair but also inappropriate, there are relatively mundane objects that you can make interesting with a lens like this, in fact I find that I look at everything differently when I use this lens and other similar lenses because I know that subjects that would often look plain if captured with a normal lens suddenly look interesting or have something to offer that they didn't before. You see the world differently through these kind of lenses and that is a good thing, don't look at them as a cheap alternative to conventional glass but as something different and fun but not necessarily less worthy of being on the front of your camera!
Compared to a conventional photographic lens this lens is very poor or even pathetic but that would be missing the point and this lens can do things no expensive conventional lens can do. The images it makes are different and fun and distinctive and that helps to fuel creativity and for that reason I think it's a great buy! Never approach these lenses as a rival to a conventional lens but instead see them as something entirely different that can live alongside your conventional glass and not compete with it!
Some of the Tessar designs for 135 format, also have this look? The sharpness they achieve in the centre, sacrifices the edges and corners. The Domiplan versus Zeiss 50mm lenses show correction is possible but may cost more.
If you've tried also the 35mm f/1.7, which one would you recommend for being used on a Lumix micro 4/3 (G2)?
I've found this sold with Mount Adapter + Micro Ring to EP1 EP2 EP3 GF1 GF2 GF3 Camera, do you think it will have the same problems with the adapter you were talking about?
