When it comes to HD TVs and Plasma televisions, you have to look into more than the outer appearance of each to understand the differences between the two types of televisions.
They both utilize different technology to deliver nearly the same results.
Plasma TV technology is based in part on the fluorescent light bulb.
The display of the Plasma TV is composed of cells and within each cell there are two glass panels that are separated by a thin gap where during the manufacturing process the neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form.
The gas is electrically charged at certain intervals when the Plasma set is being used and the charged gas then hits green, red, and blue phosphors which in turn produce the TV image you see.
Each group of green, red, and blue phosphors is referred to as a pixel.
Getting a plasma TV means you do not have to have the electron beam scanning and bulky picture tube of the traditional television since this TV uses the burning of phosphors to produce the image. However, plasma televisions are susceptible to heat generation and screen-burn of static images. The benefits of plasma TVs are the larger screen sizes, better contrast ratio and deeper blacks, improved color accuracy and saturation, and improved motion tracking.
As well, Plasma TVs display up to 16.
77 million colors to provide a highly lifelike picture.
Another advantage of the Plasma TV is its thin, flat-panel design and they are very light.
The Plasma TVs space-saving design allows you to move it easily as well as placed in areas that no other type of TV would fit.
Plasma TV prices have fallen and are now very affordable.
HDTV is the next step up from digital television.
HDTV stands for High Definition Television.
HD TVs provide clearer image signals.
There are about two million pixels being delivered through this digital signal.
You will receive more precise and sharp images. HDTV has a higher resolution and this enhances the image sharpness. HDTV offers a wider image than traditional televisions which enhances the experience of watching movies and other specials. HDTVs have excellent sound as a result of the digital signals present in HDTVs referred to as Dolby Sound.
This is beneficial for users as the sound quality is enhanced and refined which is ideal as most CDs and movies are created using this particular sound.
HDTV transmits more than six times the information resulting in an enormous improvement in sound and quality. HD programming and films will be presented in 16:9 wide-screen format. The colors will generally look more realistic due to their greater bandwidth.
Through using a HDTV, users can watch numerous programs on one channel.
They can also check the program guide while watching a show and change subtitles. HD's greater clarity means the picture on screen can be less blurred and less fuzzy.
Recently, prices have decreased for HDTV-ready TV sets, and most likely will continue to decrease.
The question of whether you should get high definition television (HDTV) or Plasma TV will depend on your budget and television needs.

Important Thoughts For Your Child's Development
There are several things which a child has to learn when he or she is growing up.
Every day is a new learning experience.
Every day you will see your child grow and you will start enjoying those little experiences.
.
Parents are parents after all and after a while they will want everything from the child.
They want him to stand and sit on his own. If the child has accomplished that task then they will want him to learn to walk all by himself.
If that is accomplished then they will want him to start speaking.
This is nature and it is nothing wrong to be anxious about everything.
But in reality you are putting undue pressure on the child.
There will be an atmosphere of tension in the house as you are now trying to monitor and control each activity. Beware that this can be detrimental to the kids development.
You need to be aware that the person you are dealing with in this case is a little child and not a grown up person. The child does not know how to handle pressure. Allow him to be more mature to tell him a few things.
Till age 2 or 3 you should not be putting pressure on the kid.
In reality, the parents need to go slow and be very patient. The best way to understand how the kid's behavior will be is to read books on child development.
Those books will tell you what you need to do in a particular situation.
In case the kid is not responding then consult your pediatrician for help. Do not panic as each and every kid is different. It is this difference which also leads parents to think that their kid is not up to the mark.
As a parent you will keep hearing stories that someone else's kid has started walking at age one. A distant friend will tell you that his kid was talking before he was 15 months old.
Ignore all these stories and work assiduously with your kid to gauge his pace of learning. Never try to compare two kids and that will help.
You will be more relaxed and patient as that will result in an environment where he can develop all his faculties without the extra pressure.
The key to remember is that the child's mind is like a blank clean piece of slate and whatever you do will be etched on that. I am sure that you will not want bad things to be etched on that.
Be focused and you will see amazing results.

What Is Involved In Setting Up A Website?
How do you get a website up and running? This is a question I find myself answering over and over again.
It is a very good question too that not too many people explain.
We have all visited a website at one time or another in search of information or to shop. It is very simple on our end to do this but when you stop to think about how that website came into existence does anything come to mind? Start a website by picking a name, registering that name, and then hosting the files it contains. After all this is complete content is added.
I know this sounds like a lot of steps however; after you build your cool website and see people gravitate to it, all the work is worth it. Step One - Select a website name.
This is what will be typed in search engines or directly into the HTTP bar.
This is how people find you site.
Make a list of names you like; I suggest you choose ten.
Give some thought to what names you are picking and work towards making them relevant and easy to spell.
Remember, you are working towards attracting visitors.
If a name you chose is already owned you will have to pick another one; this is why I suggested you write down ten.
The price charged for a website name (domain name) depends on the extension you choose (.com, .
me, .org, etc) Step Two - Register your name.
Now that you have a website name (domain) you will need it registered.
This consists of finding a domain name registrar.
Registrars are organizations that manage internet names.
They are also accredited.
Once you have a domain and it is registered you now need to host it.
Step Three - Website hosting.
Hosting is where your website addresses lands.
Website (domain) hosting is a computer that stores files and is connected to the internet, where web surfers (people) can access them. This includes the pages that make up the website.
Some companies offer hosting, registration, and design as a package.
Sometimes this comes with a higher price than purchasing the services separately.
Hosting companies will offer different plan and allocate a certain amount of space on their server for webpage's and content. Make sure to research how the hosting company handles uploads and changes to a website.
Once all the steps above are complete you are now ready to add content. You can either learn to do this yourself with tools or pay someone to design it for you.
Adding content is not the only step left to complete.
You still need to get this website noticed by search engines. This is done by marketing.

My Kids - Take 1! Ashutosh
I teach in a low income school in Pune. My life is mostly about lesson planning and visiting my students in their communities.
I have thirty five really adorable third graders, and I owe them so much, for making me love my job insanely.
My class is a mix of students who are non performers, as well as excellent performers.
As a teacher, I am not supposed to be partial, because let's admit it, that's just highly unfair.
But I do have my own set of favorite students. One of them is Ashutosh..
.
So, Ashutosh is not really great when it comes to academic excellence. OK, honestly, he's really low when it comes to scoring.
I guess he comes to school just so that he could share his lunch box with his friends and add to the laughter in the class.
My nagging hasn't helped.
He doesn't study.
He never reciprocated to my lessons and that has often made me want to quit whatever I am doing. His aim is not to take straight 'A's back home, like many focused students in my class, but to have fun with the others kids.
He doesn't miss school on Wednesdays; because that's the day our school permits all the kids to bring their favorite snack in their lunch boxes.
There have also been times when he has hated school so much, that he went to the extent of eloping. Most of the teachers have completely ignored him in the past, and maybe that's why he feels so discouraged.
Ashutosh is a third grader who couldn't even spell his name until recently and is way behind the other students of my class. He doesn't answer any questions, doesn't participate and has got nothing to do when it comes to learning.
But he has one love.
Colors! He loves to color, paint, draw and sketch. There was this one time when I had asked him to color a drawing and he was quiet for about forty minutes, which, by the way, is really difficult for a guy who jumps around so much.
And that's when it struck me.
Probably, this was the way he learned.
These forty minutes of engagement that Ashutosh displayed changed my entire approach towards him.
I got a multiple coloring sheets for him. I also got stuff like 'connect the dots'. This way, he started practicing the basic alphabets and numbers.
His homework includes learning only two or three words every day, and writing them down in his favorite color. It's been hardly two months that I have known him, but the level of trust he has in me amazes me. We both are partners in his progress.
The pace is slow, but it is happening.
He is on task and is making an effort to improve. He loves it when I tell stories. The other day he came up and said he wanted to narrate a story to the class.
For a guy who is almost never present (mentally) in the class, this was a great achievement. I was almost in tears when I saw his level of confidence.
A third grader being able to spell his name correctly might be nothing in the eyes of most of the people. But he's making me believe in myself. The motivation I give him is making him believe in himself.
And, I guess, we both are doing just fine there.
So, that's Ashutosh.
We watch animated movies together, tell stories, solve crazy puzzles and laugh for no big reason.
My journey of a 'teacher in a low income school' has just started, and he's making it a little easier.
There hasn't been one day when he has begun to eat before feeding me.
I have always been someone who hates being fed. But, as they say, there are exceptions to everything. He refuses to eat unless I eat.
Ashutosh is undoubtedly one person who never fails to make me smile. I owe him for teaching me what patience is. And I'm sure, with all the patience, he'll certainly make it big one day, even in the eyes of the other teachers.

What to Look for When Potty Training Your Toddler
Potty training your toddler can be one of the more difficult jobs you have as a parent as it is fraught with nervousness and uncertainty over whether your son or daughter is truly ready and what the best method is to train them effectively.
It's also difficult to deal with the mess and embarrassment that is caused by the frequent accidents, especially in public places.
That all said, there are a few simple things to look out for as a parent that can help you know when your toddler is ready to be trained and thus will greatly increase the chances that it will go smoothly.
One of the essential things to look for when potty training toddlers is that they are "ready" to be trained.
While this can be extremely subjective and difficult to ascertain, there are a few things you must be looking for or you might miss the window where they are most appropriately ready to be trained. Be on the lookout for the first time they wake up with a completely dry diaper. For the first few years of their lives they've woken to a fully wet diaper, so a dry diaper is a sign to you that they have the ability to 'hold it' for an extended period of time.
You also need to be looking out for their increased awareness of their own bathroom activities and their increased interest in your bathroom habits.
In order to potty train your toddler and take that step to take the diaper off them, you have to feel comfortable with them telling you when they have to go to the bathroom and trusting that they are correct. That's why telling you when they are going to the bathroom is a great sign that they are ready to be trained themselves.
Lots of toddlers also pick up an interest in their parents going to the bathroom when they are ready to be trained.
They like to emulate you in many respects and that's often how they learn, and this situation is no different.
You'll find that they like to open the toilet seat for you and grab some toilet paper and even flush the toilet when you're done.
If you look out for these signs that your toddler is giving you, you'll be well on your way to effectively potty training your child.
It can be a frustrating experience, but an extremely rewarding one to see them grow up and take this important step.

Marketing for the Confused Beginner
Marketing techniques have changed drastically in the past twenty years.
Posting physical advertisements and posters has become a thing of the past.
Today, billboards are technological and advertisements are able to be viewed on mobile devices.
But, the principle remains.
Marketing is more than just pictures and words sent out into the universe to generate revenue.
It's about branding, networking, evolving, growing. I know, you're wondering what my point is. Well, I'm merely trying to point out the important aspects of marketing for you and help you understand WHY it makes a difference.
Let's pretend there is a small restaurant near you called Antonio's. Antonio's is brand new and has never dealt with the hiring and firing process let alone the marketing process.
He doesn't understand the importance of knowing audiences, gearing marketing strategies, logos, networking, and so on and so forth.
Antonio makes flyers for his opening debut.
Each flyer is a different color and has a different photo of him cooking.
He thinks this is a great way to draw in a crowd and advertise his business. On the night of his opening, two couples came in for dinner, all night.
I'm here to tell you what could have improved the outcome of this scenario. First and foremost, online marketing is essential for new businesses.
People want to see a website.
They want to be able to visualize themselves in an establishment and have confidence in a business.
Antonio should have considered utilizing social media marketing in addition to investing in a top-of-the-line website.
Social media platforms are an essential aspect to networking and bringing in new customers/clients.
Now, let's talk about the flyers.
. The problem with using different colors and different pictures on every flyer is this...
BRANDING.
For branding, that was a terrible decision. A business must stick with one branding image- to create a lasting impression. When you think of Starbucks, what comes to mind? Yes, that logo. The green woman.
Now, anytime you see that logo you immediately know what business is being advertised.
How about Facebook? The blue square with a lowercase, white "f".
Every time you see that logo, you know the topic is Facebook. This concept is imperative.
Establishing a logo and a brand image is one of the first steps to forming a phenomenal business.
Antonio should have came up with a unique, fun branding concept and implemented it on all of his flyers! Also, he should have used this branding image on his new, exciting Social Media platforms, his new website, and incorporated it into his physical restaurant.
I realize these are small, seemingly insignificant notions. But, in reality, they make a difference.
Stay tuned for more marketing tips and hypothetical scenarios!

Cozy Coupe Turns 30
With the Christmas season soon approaching, many parents are starting their Christmas shopping, hoping to get some of the hottest toys for the Christmas 2010 toy season. While some of the toys that are on the list are the hottest crazes at the moment, others are true classics that have been around for decades, like the Cozy Coupe.
More than likely, you remember this classic toy from your own childhood, which is now being sold this year as the Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Edition. Like previous years, this toy is still one of the hottest toys on the market and is guaranteed to sell out in most toy stores throughout the United States and Canada.
Looking at the Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Edition, you will more than likely remember your own Little Tikes car.
Similar to the one from your childhood, this adorable plastic car is completely child powered, allowing children to move at high speeds throughout the back yard using their own legs as an engine.
Due to the cars high top being parent friendly, many children also love the idea of parents pushing them around in this fun child sized vehicle, allowing them to steer and honk the horn at anyone that passes by, including older siblings.
The features that children love in these Cozy Coupe cars are lovely smiling faces, high back seats, a storage area at the back, and a driver's door that opens and closes.
For parents the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Edition has a removable floorboard that allows children to be pushed in the car without getting their feet jammed between the seat and the floor.
There is a cutout at the back for adults to use as a handle to push the car. However the high roof of these cars makes it easy to glide the Cozy Coupe just by resting your hand on top of it. While the Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Edition car is designed for children 18 months to 5, it is highly recommended that you do not purchase this vehicle for children over 4.
Even though the car itself is made to withstand their weight, most five year olds will quickly lose interest in this car, mostly due to the fact that they are developing the balance to ride bikes and scooters.
Younger children will cherish this fun car, making it the most exciting gift for your child this Christmas.
If you are wanting to get a Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Edition vehicle for your favorite boy or girl, make sure you buy this toy sooner rather than later since many stores are already running out of this classic toy. To learn more about this hot Christmas toy, make sure to check out Cozy Coupe turns 30 where you will find reviews on this hot toy, as well as information about suppliers who still have this great toy in stock for the Christmas season.

How to Plan Out Your Cyber School Work Week
It's important to space out your classes so you don't get stuck at the end!
Last marking period I decided I would try to finish up my easy classes first and then worry about my harder and more time consuming classes later.
Needless to say that didn't work out very well, and I ended up with a couple tough weeks where I had to just do six Math or English reports each day.
So after learning my lesson I've found a pretty good method for getting all of your work done efficiently with less stress.
My method is a five step process 1.
Identify your easy and hard classes.
For me I would say my easy classes are Health, Fitness, History and Sociology and my hard classes are AP Psych, English and Math.
2.
Find out your schedule for the week I'm usually busier on Wednesdays and Thursdays with youth group and Christian club and freer on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
With that said there are a lot of times where events come up on those days that take up a lot of time.
3.
Create weekly goals A weekly goal is a certain assignment or amount of work that you want to get done each week.
For myself I try to shoot for about five Math lessons and at least one English report each week.
This then allows me to keep up with my hard classes instead of falling behind my easy classes. 4. Place your classes appropriately With the information you just put down above make good decisions on how to schedule school work. Plan to do your weekly goals on days when you don't have as much on your plate.
For myself I usually do a report on Monday or Tuesday and then the math on Friday. On Wednesday and Thursday I try to take more of a break and do easier lessons. Another thing I sometimes do is complete my harder lessons on any day, but if I don't have enough time to finish all of the assignments for that day then I simply carry them over and do them the next day.
I can do this because my attendance is determined by how many lessons are complete at the end of the week.
If your cyber school doesn't run this way then I would recommend not putting off the work. 5.
Do It Step five is the hardest and most important step of them all. You can plan all you want, but if you don't have enough self-discipline to carry out the plans then you've just wasted your time, and are going to be in a pickle later.
If you are just starting cyber school please make sure you try to follow this plan or a similar version because you won't regret it! Also if your thinking about cyber school make sure that you factor this into your consideration.
Sure cyber school is a little bit easier sometimes, but you are still learning and it is still tough at times.

World of Darkness - Mortal to Lost
The World of Darkness role-playing game focuses on mortals that become inexorably caught up in the shadows of the supernatural in a darker reflection of the real world.
Sometimes these mortals poke a little bit too far and they end up being drawn into the shadows themselves.
With Changeling: The Lost mortals are not just drawn into the shadows but bodily removed and taken away to be slaves in the distant realm of Arcadia.
Changing your chronicle from mortals to changelings is possible, and quite easy, within the new World of Darkness rules.
All it requires is adding the supernatural template and the character is ready to go - from a purely technical side. From the dramatic side there is a much greater shift that needs to be taken into account.
Taking your troupe and turning them all into changelings requires a bit of effort and will definitely change the tenor and mood of your chronicle in ways you may not expect. When the Gentry kidnap a mortal and drag him or her through the Hedge to a life of servitude they undergo an experience that is quite unlike any of the other supernatural lines. The Embrace, while harrowing, is quick.
The First Change was just waiting to happen.
Awakening brings wonderment and confusion but rarely distress. The Durance experienced by changelings, however, is a physical and emotional turmoil that can last for what feels like decades.
The character doesn't change because they want to or because of some inherited gift; their bodies changes in an effort to survive or through the cruel magic of their Keeper. And after all this it is only those with enough of their humanity left that manages to escape back through the Hedge to the world they once knew. Changelings come back to earth battered, bruised and abused.
Even if they hope to just pick up their lives where they left off it might not be possible.
Time has moved on, a fetch might have replaced them or they may have aged but she escaped at the same time they left.
From a dramatic perspective this is very important.
How do the characters react to their new existence? There is no way character can return from their Durance the same as they were before they left. Sure some measure of their personality remains but their time in Arcadia should have changed them in fundamental ways.
The once intimidating bruiser may have found himself treated to the same abuse he once visited on others. Does he gain sympathy for the people he once tortured or did his Durance make him even more callous? The handsome jock once had all the girls at his feet until a Lady of Arcadia stole him away and kept him as a beautiful prize that she used as she desired. Does he still cherish his good looks that got him noticed or does he rather try to keep a low profile in case she comes back? These are just some examples of how a character can change and these are questions the storyteller has to ask the players.
As this is an important part of the character's new existence it is a good idea to run personal sessions with each of the characters.
In these sessions you can detail the escape, meeting up with old friends and joining one of the seasonal courts. If the troupe escaped as one then run it with all the players.
Just be careful not to run personal character stories with the other players present. Depending on the player these stories could take some time and there is nothing worse than waiting idly by while one character relives his entire Durance. While these details are important they shouldn't be favoured above the actual chronicle. Some players don't care too much about how they escaped and how they joined their court. Others like taking their characters through this process. Don't bore action-focused players with dramatic details, but don't gloss over the details for characters that like the melodrama. Generally learning contracts, meeting other changelings and getting to know the local freehold should be glossed over in downtime unless these are important to the chronicle arc. It is easier to assume that the characters went to the trouble of getting to know their neighbours than sitting for hours role-playing every little meeting the characters have with a new face. The transition from mortal to changeling is a profound one.
Players should realise that their characters have undergone a fundamental transformation and that the mortal self has been left behind. With a transition to changeling it is important to highlight the changes but also the wonderment of their new existence.
Don't harp on too much on the suffering - after all, that is one thing all changelings are trying to forget.

How Companies Benefit by Enrolling Employees in Executive Courses
The biggest resource and asset for any company is its people.
Therefore, it only makes sense that they invest prudently in its employees. In today's fast paced corporate environment, everything changes and grows steadily, and it thus becomes even more important for employers to provide the right platform for further learning and development of its employees. More and more people are opting for fast track learning through executive education programs today in order to enhance their skills and better their technical know-how.
This is helping them keep up with the competition and even surpass it to some extent.
If a person stops learning, he stops growing too, thus becoming stagnant, both professionally and personally. Continuing to learn while pursuing a job not only provides the person an edge in the market, but also helps him acquire a holistic approach to solving problems. It makes the person better equipped to working on his weaknesses and optimally utilizing a company's strengths.
A person can understand the classroom concepts better and relate it directly to himself and his organization. More and more companies are waking up to the benefits of executive education in best-training and preparing their employees to become thought leaders who would take their company forward.
They feel the need to safeguard the future of their company in talented hands, who are well versed with the latest happenings in their field of work.
The practical approach, field expertise and novel management thinking developed due to the executive programs tends to inspire a person to think out of the box and tactically steer his company out of thick situations. An executive program helps build contacts and share experiences with like minded people that work in similar industries or have a similar job role.
This benefits the person immensely and helps supplement his skills in problem solving, business model implementation or even employee motivation.
Executive MBA students are entrusted with increased level of responsibilities and seniority within their roles in their respective organizations in lieu of their education advancement and development of a new global outlook.
The possibilities with the use to which their newly acquired skills can be put are endless.
Executive programs also benefit people who are already serving in the function of managers by expanding their skills and assisting them in evolving the methods used by them in different job requirements.
An executive program thus brings about a paradigm shift in the way a person thinks or performs his role and makes it more efficient.

The CDC reports that the teen alcohol epidemic in this country is rising at an alarming rate. The trend over the last three decades shows dramatic increases in underage drinking and there are no indications that the trend will reverse.
Contrarily, research shows that underage drinking continues to escalate.
In a survey conducted in 2009 by the Center for Disease Control the results show that of all the alcohol that is consumed in the United States every year, 11% is consumed by underage youth, ages 12-20 years of age. Technology is keeping up with this epidemic by protecting convenience stores, liquor stores, and supermarkets and their respective liquor licenses by use of the ID scanner. An ID scanner electronically reads the information directly from the magnetic stripe to verify state issued information.
Without this type of security device retailers are often defrauded with altered identifications resulting in state punitive damages, possible suspension, and fines or loss of license.
Collectively law enforcement and license regulators know that the majority of underage alcohol users purchase some form of fraudulent identification.
In an effort to combat the underage drinking national epidemic state legislatures have sweepingly increased penalties to store owners, and establishments for serving and selling to minors.
So how can these proprietors protect their liquor licenses? In some states liquor licenses are no longer available to purchase as states self-regulate the number of licenses issued.
The ID scanner can fill this natural void and is an expense that could save these establishments their legal licenses to serve alcohol.
Bars and nightclubs were the first adopters of the ID scanner.
ID scanners can hold up to 4,000 records of the previous scans. With this much data the establishment can quickly report to any inspections conducted by state regulators.
Now that the underage drinking is disproportionately growing ID scanners are being put into use by retailers.
Bar owners and nightclub proprietors were using ID scanners that functioned in complete darkness, but many different options of ID scanners are on the market now. The ID-E-01 is an ID scanner that scans licenses identifications to verify the information on the form of identification presented at the time of purchase matches that of the state issued information. This point of sale ID scanner security device requires the proprietor to swipe the identification through the machines scanner like a credit card.
The ID scanner then displays the date of birth, the age, and the expiration date of the id as it appears on record with the state's driver's license bureaus at the time of issue.
The age display on the ID scanner is three times the size of the other data.
Sellers of alcohol can confirm with one swipe instantly if the identification is legitimate or has been altered in anyway. Security devices such as the ID scanner will go a long way in protecting the liability of the alcohol proprietor in ensuring their licenses and livelihoods are never at risk.

Reasons Why Online Training Should Be Branded
The Learner's Perspective
When a learner launches your online training do they know that it belongs to your company? Could a customer recognize your company by looking at your course?
I've always thought that training material should mimic the branding of the company and/or organization.
So why do I think this way? Most companies spend a lot of time and money to develop a brand and a look/feel that they want to portray to the public. Often these are marketing professionals that team up with designers to create all sorts of electronic images/video and print collateral.
If they've hired the professionals and spent so much money, why are we trying to recreate the wheel? On a different note, many times our instructional designers are not multimedia gurus.
Too often we waste time trying to create an interface, buttons, color scheme, etc.
when in the end it still doesn't look as good as what we could have gotten from marketing. One other thing to consider is if your courses are for external customers or internal employees.
It may be more important to use the appropriate branding if you're targeting external customers. However, I'd recommend that even internal courses look similar to the overall company's brand.
How to start branding content? The first thing I'd do is talk to the marketing / advertising department.
This could also include the website team.
Most likely they have all of pieces that you need. (and in the file types that you need also).
Many different layouts, images, colors, etc could be based on those corporate branding files.
A few things that I'd look for: Color schemes Most companies have established color schemes. You don't have to limit yourself to just those colors but they could be the base for what you design.
Or maybe use the main colors and add another one for accents and highlights.
If you're in a large company each division may have it's own color scheme.
Fonts Does your company have certain fonts used for tag lines, annual reports, and /or presentations? These may not end up being your main content fonts but they could be used for headings or within various image layouts.
Layouts Marketing may have various PowerPoint templates that they use for presentations. This could be tweaked and used in many different rapid eLearning development tools. Images Does corporate have an image library? Have they purchased images in the past or maybe they have a stockpile of ones they've taken themselves? For example, if you work for a bank you could find pictures of branches, lobbies, employees, ATMs, etc that could easily be used in courses. Don't forget about the website team.
They may subscribe to a monthly image library that you could tap into. (added a user may not cost very much.
) Logos Make sure that you get as many logo sizes, shapes, colors, and transparencies as possible. Logos are great because not only can they be used at the beginning of the course they can also be integrated into images.
For example, does your company logo have a symbol? If so it can be used throughout various components of your course. What other things should be considered when branding courses? How can you find what you need?

Perhaps, you have a full time job already and/or a family to take care of when you get home and having a deadline would be really difficult.

Once you have completed a module, you send it back, via email, to your course tutors who will then grade your work accordingly.
This process continues until you pass your course and receive a shiny new diploma, signifying your qualifications and achievements. Many online courses, also offer comprehensive tutor support, so if you have any questions or problems with some of the work or some of the documents, you can email, or in some cases enter into live chat, with your tutor, who will then provide you with the assistance you need.

Sticky Fingers
Sticky fingers and children.
Yes I know - the mess! Better to give them a computer console or a DVD.
They will definitely stay clean that way. But at what cost? Everything we do in modern society revolves around a gadget or computerised piece of equipment.
Many of us sit in front of a computer five days a week and eight hours per day.
At home dinner comes out of the microwave and then the rest of the evening is spent in front of the television, sending text messages at intervals.
We only communicate via machines.
What ever happened to verbal communication with others. What ever happened to social interaction without the props of modern day society? Imagine this, a whole week without access to any techie gadgets.
Has panic set in yet? What will you do with your time? Here is one idea for you and the children and it might even be fun! Return of the rice krispie buns! All you need is chocolate, rice krispies, some jelly sweets, bun cases and aprons.
Break the chocolate into pieces in a heat proof bowl (this next bit is for the grown-up to do) and sit into a saucepan of boiling water.
Allow to melt, stirring occasionally.
Kids: Place the bun cases in rows on a tray.
Put the jellies on a plate ready for the decorating.
Pour the rice krispies into a big bowl.
When the chocolate is melted (grown-up again) pour into the middle of the bowl of rice krispies.
Kids: Stir the chocolate and the rice krispies until they are all mixed together. The best thing about this part is that the rice krispie mix gets everywhere. You will find it all over the counter top and on the floor. There is something very wrong if at this stage the children do not have sticky fingers. It will definitely find its way into pockets and the childrens hair.
This to me is a gauge of how much fun you have had.
Loosen up - it doesn't matter if the mix spills out. Accept there will be a mess.
The more places you find rice krispies after the event means that you had lots and lots of fun.
Kids: The next bit is very important and should be done by the children. Spoon the mix into each of the bun cases.
Next put the jellies on top of each bun.
Carefully place the tray of buns into the fridge.
It will take about an hour for them to set. The most important part is next.
The bowls and spoon need to be licked.
Yum, the is the best part.
This is only a success when all participants finish with sticky fingers!

Homeschooling: Do You Have Any Idea Where To Begin?
"So what's your homeschool philosophy?" Are you Charlotte Mason or Classical? Do you believe in unschooling?
Many new homeschoolers have found themselves staring blankly at the well meaning person who just asked them one of these questions.
How bad is it to really have no idea what in the world they are talking about? Breathe easier.
It is not bad at all.
Being new to homeschooling is like the new reality series One Car Too Far.
Having a house full of boys dictates that we have watched this show a few times so far.
The point is that a survival expert and an off road enthusiast are dropped in the middle of nowhere.
They then have to locate their abandoned Jeep by GPS signal and figure out how to drive it back to civilization. It can be an amusing adventure, especially if one of the wheels falls off the vehicle or the temperature drops to below freezing.
Jumping into homeschooling for the first time is very much like this adventure.
You purposefully jump out of the normal that civilization has to offer and travel deep into unknown territory.
You then have to rely on your instincts and hopefully some expert advice to help you navigate back into the "real world" while doing so on your own terms.
The boys trying to get their Jeep out of the South American Jungle honestly do not car what kind of roads someone else is traveling at that moment.
They simply have to concentrate on navigating their own way.
As a homeschooler, you will need to recognize that you may feel like you are on your own for a while.
You may even feel a bit stranded. It doesn't matter what your personal teaching style is called by others.
What matters is that you are teaching your children.
Embrace the adventure.
Do not compare you or your children to any other homeschooler.
Find a "homeschooling survival coach".
You'll recognize her because she is still smiling after a decade of teaching her own children and will not think you are crazy to want to teach your own children.
You may not know the way to travel just yet (like the guys in the jungle) but you can pick a direction and work your way through it.
Focus on your basics.
Math, Language (which includes reading, writing, spelling, and grammar), History, and Science.
Famililarize your self with your local library.
Do you need to know if you are Charlotte Mason or Classical style? No. You simply need to really want to teach your children.
Approach homeschooling with passion and purpose and you will find yourself out of the jungle!

Online Teaching Positions Create a Positive Academic Career Trajectory
The academic employment turmoil on today's college and university campuses can be identified as a direct result of severely declining public education budgets that are needed to pay full time salaries for post-secondary instructors.
Teachers still working on the traditional college and university campuses have a right to feel apathetic about their career trajectories.
After all, there is real pain associated with declining faculty salaries and the benefits associated with them. While there is little hope of budgetary funds for public education increasing in the near term, there is an alternative available for clear-sighted academics with computers skills.
To put a sharp point on this set of circumstances the act of searching for online teaching positions can cure academic apathy. This release from the despair of constantly worrying about the next round of teacher layoffs results as a growing awareness of the sheer number of online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs being developed constantly by post-secondary academic institutions.
The popularity of online college degree programs is high among academic administrators that are sincerely worried about successfully meeting the educational needs of the swelling student populations at community colleges, universities and for-profit colleges.
The reason the administrators and department heads of traditional college and universities are so eager to offer online college courses to students instead of physical classrooms is because their jobs and their state incomes depend on continuing to operate the academic institutions with fewer dollars each year from the state.
The cost of providing online degree programs that can be enrolled in by students quite familiar with digital media is much lower than maintaining and building college and university classrooms and the absence of students on traditional campuses means lower cost to maintain the campus grounds. All of this means that the chances to become an online professor and actually make a real living from teaching online are better than ever before in academic history. For example, as more online college classes appear on the Internet, the greater the need for technically and academically qualified online adjunct instructors to incorporate them into an online teaching schedule.
The individual with an earned graduate degree is a great candidate for online teaching as a career choice. For example, if a corporate employee with a master degree or Ph.D. wants to stay in front of the looming layoffs it would be a very good idea to start locating colleges and universities that have online bachelor degree programs needing academically qualified online instructors for a particular academic discipline. The prospective online instructor that learns to think more broadly about the subject area in which the graduate degree was earned might be surprised to identify online classes in a related discipline.
This means that the aggressive online instructor can learn how to quickly identify online adjunct positions in related academic fields and take advantage of them.
Eventually, an online teaching schedule and the technical skills needed to coordinate the schedule will permit the alert educator to continue earning a real living despite ongoing industry and academic layoffs.
Of course, the inherent mobility of teaching online college courses that can be accessed from any geographic location at any hour of the day or night is a perk, so to speak, that can be extremely beneficial as time goes on.
Many educators feel they have been left twisting in the wind, so to speak, as financial budgets for public education fall further than at any time in recent memory.
Worse, there doesn't seem to be any end to the budget cuts being visited each semester on teachers at every level of the academy.
In order to dispel the unease associated with confusion as to why events on the traditional college and university campuses are occurring as they definitely are it is very important to grasp the emergence of distance education technology and its impact on the careers of academics that actually want to begin or continue providing academic instruction as a way to earn a decent living.
The simplicity of deploying online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs was first recognized by the for-profit colleges; now the traditional academic institutions are engaging this mature technology.
This adoption of online college classes as an affordable engine for the distribution of academic instruction can be observed by the simple fact of every community college, state university, four-year state college and technical school providing at least some level of distance learning to their enrolled students.
There can be no doubt that the popularity of online college degree programs is here to stay, so it is only a question of how educators with earned graduate degrees interact with them. Of course, there are myriad anxieties inherent in being a participant in an academic employment sea change such as the transition from the physical college or university classroom to teaching online from a personal computer. For example, it may be discovered that a college instructor is uncomfortable working solely from a laptop computer all day. It may become evident that having to constantly evaluate the cost benefits of teaching online classes for a particular college and university is actually profitable, and if it is discovered not to be profitable for the online professor having to sustain an ongoing application process so that it will be possible to replace the non-profitable online course, at least if it is non-profitable form the online instructor's point of view, as quickly as possible.
Granted, there is a great deal of personal and professional freedom associated with teaching online for a living, but there needs to be some serious consideration to the parameters of deliberately constructing a full time online teaching schedule. The intellectual imbalance being felt by many educators as the prospect of additional teacher layoffs in public education becomes manifest can be effectively corrected by online adjunct positions.
The variety of online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs grows each academic year as practically every conceivable area of post-secondary academic study is offered in a digital form accessible from a personal computer.
The simple reality is that distance education technology makes is easy and inexpensive for academic administrators to provide educational instruction to ballooning post-secondary student populations, and along with this increase in online college degree programs comes a dramatic increase in online adjunct positions for teachers with a master degree or doctorate and enough technical skill to access an online college class located on the Internet. Now, it must be apprehended that distance education is the natural product of the universities and colleges themselves.
The burden of paying tenure salaries and the associated benefits will welcome as long as there are sufficient funds to pay the required amount.
However, as all college professors know all too well the administrators are constantly searching for ways to not pay any more than absolutely necessary to keep the professors teaching each day.
As every academic now knows the development of the Internet and associated technologies are the result of a great amount of academic research carried out on physical post-secondary campuses.
Obviously, the administrators recognized the cost efficiency of offering college and university students an opportunity to earn an online bachelor degree from their personal computers instead of having to occupy the physical classrooms.
Once this cost savings became available the same administrators saw that it would be less expensive to use online adjunct instructors that teach from their personal computers instead of delivering instruction in a physical academic setting.
This epiphany caused the furious move away from tenure-track and tenured academic positions and towards online adjunct instructors that could be hired and fired according to the number of students in online college courses.
Now that the transition from expensive tenured college teaching positions to cheap online professor positions is complete the educator working at the post-secondary level of public education can feel justified in making every effort to learn how to interact in a positive fashion with distance education technology, and this positive interact needs to be strictly defined as the ability to earn a decent living by teaching college and university students. The best way to start building an online teaching schedule and reduce the uncertainly of how to earn as living as an educator is to make multiple applications for online faculty positions in the faculty application sections of community college, for-profit school and state university websites.
The effort to apply for enough online adjunct faculty positions is not something that can be done without focus and determination, but in the end the ability to earn a full time academic salary from a personal computer located in practically any spot on the globe is worth it. The point put on this benefit of mobility cannot be too fine because the ability to determine for oneself where to work in invaluable in a period of time when there is little reason to believe that any physical academic institution will continue to function while experiencing deep, irrevocable budget cuts.
To put this benefit in focus it would be good to imagine a situation where a college instructor teaching four of five physical college classes on a traditional university campus and is informed during the summer that there will be no classes offered for the coming semester. The instructor will be forced to move to another geographic location in order to secure academic employment as a college professor. Many educators now find themselves without any income after years of teaching in a traditional academic setting.
The reason for this is the deep cuts to public education budgets.
These cuts are being made simply because the physical plant known as the academic campus and the classrooms on it is too expensive to continue maintaining in the future.
Fortunately, distance education technology has matured to the point that it offers a viable alternative to spending dwindling budgetary funds on keeping the physical classrooms and the physical campuses maintained by allowing the distribution of educational instruction on the Internet.
This ability to deploy new online college degree programs every academic semester also produces many new online teaching positions that can be compiled into an online teaching schedule that can generate a handsome amount of online adjunct income for teachers that have lost their traditional academic salaries.
The most productive search strategy for finding available online faculty positions is to start visiting the faculty application sections for post-secondary academic websites. It does require concentration and determination to land enough online college classes to teach each semester to produce a full time salary, but the good news is that the emergence of distance learning programs actually makes it possible to teach college students from a personal computer located practically anyplace on the globe. It goes without saying that it would first be necessary for the academic to secure employment on a physical campus before making the move because as expensive as moving is with employment on the horizon, the cost of moving without securing academic employment in advance is simply something that can be afforded by the ordinary college teacher. It is important that academics do not disregard adjunct online teaching jobs if they wish to continue earning a living from the delivery of educational instruction.
The teacher layoffs recently experienced as a result of the budget cuts to traditional public education is merely a harbinger of further academic unemployment on the traditional campus.
Obviously, an educator with an earned graduate degree, a master degree or doctorate, should be aware enough of the current financial landscape both inside and outside the academy to understand that the real problem with continuing to consider traditional education employment, acquiring a tenure-track positions that evolves after years of research into the treasured tenured position as a career path is the cost of maintaining the physical classrooms on the physical campuses. In response to the diminution of funds to actually operate the campus the administrators are deploying online college classes and online college degree programs as quickly as possible.
Distance learning technology is making that effort very successful, and for the academic the positive result of making large amounts of post-secondary instruction on the Internet is exponential growth of online instructor positions that simply did not exist a decade ago.
The best way for an educator to take advantage of these relatively new online adjunct faculty positions is to use a personal computer to begin building an online teaching schedule populated with six to eight online college courses. It is a serious mistake for any educator to think there is any way to avoid being part of an online faculty since the academic administrators have no ability to increase the number of full time tenured faculty positions in the traditional sense of the position. Educators with bachelor degrees may wonder if it is worth the expense and time to earn a master degree just in order to teach online for community colleges.
The answer is certainly positive since the two-year post-secondary schools comprise a vast network of independent physical campuses.
The necessary transformation from state employee at a public college or university into an academic entrepreneur that can grasp the online teaching opportunities at even the two-year school level of the academy is well worth developing as online college classes replace ever more physical classrooms as the setting for post-secondary education.
Teachers still working on the traditional college and university campuses have a right to feel apathetic about their career trajectories.
After all, there is real pain associated with declining faculty salaries and the benefits associated with them. While there is little hope of budgetary funds for public education increasing in the near term, there is an alternative available for clear-sighted academics with computers skills.
To put a sharp point on this set of circumstances the act of searching for online teaching positions can cure academic apathy. This release from the despair of constantly worrying about the next round of teacher layoffs results as a growing awareness of the sheer number of online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs being developed constantly by post-secondary academic institutions.
The popularity of online college degree programs is high among academic administrators that are sincerely worried about successfully meeting the educational needs of the swelling student populations at community colleges, universities and for-profit colleges.
The reason the administrators and department heads of traditional college and universities are so eager to offer online college courses to students instead of physical classrooms is because their jobs and their state incomes depend on continuing to operate the academic institutions with fewer dollars each year from the state.
The cost of providing online degree programs that can be enrolled in by students quite familiar with digital media is much lower than maintaining and building college and university classrooms and the absence of students on traditional campuses means lower cost to maintain the campus grounds. All of this means that the chances to become an online professor and actually make a real living from teaching online are better than ever before in academic history. For example, as more online college classes appear on the Internet, the greater the need for technically and academically qualified online adjunct instructors to incorporate them into an online teaching schedule.
The individual with an earned graduate degree is a great candidate for online teaching as a career choice. For example, if a corporate employee with a master degree or Ph.D. wants to stay in front of the looming layoffs it would be a very good idea to start locating colleges and universities that have online bachelor degree programs needing academically qualified online instructors for a particular academic discipline. The prospective online instructor that learns to think more broadly about the subject area in which the graduate degree was earned might be surprised to identify online classes in a related discipline.
This means that the aggressive online instructor can learn how to quickly identify online adjunct positions in related academic fields and take advantage of them.
Eventually, an online teaching schedule and the technical skills needed to coordinate the schedule will permit the alert educator to continue earning a real living despite ongoing industry and academic layoffs.
Of course, the inherent mobility of teaching online college courses that can be accessed from any geographic location at any hour of the day or night is a perk, so to speak, that can be extremely beneficial as time goes on.
Many educators feel they have been left twisting in the wind, so to speak, as financial budgets for public education fall further than at any time in recent memory.
Worse, there doesn't seem to be any end to the budget cuts being visited each semester on teachers at every level of the academy.
In order to dispel the unease associated with confusion as to why events on the traditional college and university campuses are occurring as they definitely are it is very important to grasp the emergence of distance education technology and its impact on the careers of academics that actually want to begin or continue providing academic instruction as a way to earn a decent living.
The simplicity of deploying online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs was first recognized by the for-profit colleges; now the traditional academic institutions are engaging this mature technology.
This adoption of online college classes as an affordable engine for the distribution of academic instruction can be observed by the simple fact of every community college, state university, four-year state college and technical school providing at least some level of distance learning to their enrolled students.
There can be no doubt that the popularity of online college degree programs is here to stay, so it is only a question of how educators with earned graduate degrees interact with them. Of course, there are myriad anxieties inherent in being a participant in an academic employment sea change such as the transition from the physical college or university classroom to teaching online from a personal computer. For example, it may be discovered that a college instructor is uncomfortable working solely from a laptop computer all day. It may become evident that having to constantly evaluate the cost benefits of teaching online classes for a particular college and university is actually profitable, and if it is discovered not to be profitable for the online professor having to sustain an ongoing application process so that it will be possible to replace the non-profitable online course, at least if it is non-profitable form the online instructor's point of view, as quickly as possible.
Granted, there is a great deal of personal and professional freedom associated with teaching online for a living, but there needs to be some serious consideration to the parameters of deliberately constructing a full time online teaching schedule. The intellectual imbalance being felt by many educators as the prospect of additional teacher layoffs in public education becomes manifest can be effectively corrected by online adjunct positions.
The variety of online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs grows each academic year as practically every conceivable area of post-secondary academic study is offered in a digital form accessible from a personal computer.
The simple reality is that distance education technology makes is easy and inexpensive for academic administrators to provide educational instruction to ballooning post-secondary student populations, and along with this increase in online college degree programs comes a dramatic increase in online adjunct positions for teachers with a master degree or doctorate and enough technical skill to access an online college class located on the Internet. Now, it must be apprehended that distance education is the natural product of the universities and colleges themselves.
The burden of paying tenure salaries and the associated benefits will welcome as long as there are sufficient funds to pay the required amount.
However, as all college professors know all too well the administrators are constantly searching for ways to not pay any more than absolutely necessary to keep the professors teaching each day.
As every academic now knows the development of the Internet and associated technologies are the result of a great amount of academic research carried out on physical post-secondary campuses.
Obviously, the administrators recognized the cost efficiency of offering college and university students an opportunity to earn an online bachelor degree from their personal computers instead of having to occupy the physical classrooms.
Once this cost savings became available the same administrators saw that it would be less expensive to use online adjunct instructors that teach from their personal computers instead of delivering instruction in a physical academic setting.
This epiphany caused the furious move away from tenure-track and tenured academic positions and towards online adjunct instructors that could be hired and fired according to the number of students in online college courses.
Now that the transition from expensive tenured college teaching positions to cheap online professor positions is complete the educator working at the post-secondary level of public education can feel justified in making every effort to learn how to interact in a positive fashion with distance education technology, and this positive interact needs to be strictly defined as the ability to earn a decent living by teaching college and university students. The best way to start building an online teaching schedule and reduce the uncertainly of how to earn as living as an educator is to make multiple applications for online faculty positions in the faculty application sections of community college, for-profit school and state university websites.
The effort to apply for enough online adjunct faculty positions is not something that can be done without focus and determination, but in the end the ability to earn a full time academic salary from a personal computer located in practically any spot on the globe is worth it. The point put on this benefit of mobility cannot be too fine because the ability to determine for oneself where to work in invaluable in a period of time when there is little reason to believe that any physical academic institution will continue to function while experiencing deep, irrevocable budget cuts.
To put this benefit in focus it would be good to imagine a situation where a college instructor teaching four of five physical college classes on a traditional university campus and is informed during the summer that there will be no classes offered for the coming semester. The instructor will be forced to move to another geographic location in order to secure academic employment as a college professor. Many educators now find themselves without any income after years of teaching in a traditional academic setting.
The reason for this is the deep cuts to public education budgets.
These cuts are being made simply because the physical plant known as the academic campus and the classrooms on it is too expensive to continue maintaining in the future.
Fortunately, distance education technology has matured to the point that it offers a viable alternative to spending dwindling budgetary funds on keeping the physical classrooms and the physical campuses maintained by allowing the distribution of educational instruction on the Internet.
This ability to deploy new online college degree programs every academic semester also produces many new online teaching positions that can be compiled into an online teaching schedule that can generate a handsome amount of online adjunct income for teachers that have lost their traditional academic salaries.
The most productive search strategy for finding available online faculty positions is to start visiting the faculty application sections for post-secondary academic websites. It does require concentration and determination to land enough online college classes to teach each semester to produce a full time salary, but the good news is that the emergence of distance learning programs actually makes it possible to teach college students from a personal computer located practically anyplace on the globe. It goes without saying that it would first be necessary for the academic to secure employment on a physical campus before making the move because as expensive as moving is with employment on the horizon, the cost of moving without securing academic employment in advance is simply something that can be afforded by the ordinary college teacher. It is important that academics do not disregard adjunct online teaching jobs if they wish to continue earning a living from the delivery of educational instruction.
The teacher layoffs recently experienced as a result of the budget cuts to traditional public education is merely a harbinger of further academic unemployment on the traditional campus.
Obviously, an educator with an earned graduate degree, a master degree or doctorate, should be aware enough of the current financial landscape both inside and outside the academy to understand that the real problem with continuing to consider traditional education employment, acquiring a tenure-track positions that evolves after years of research into the treasured tenured position as a career path is the cost of maintaining the physical classrooms on the physical campuses. In response to the diminution of funds to actually operate the campus the administrators are deploying online college classes and online college degree programs as quickly as possible.
Distance learning technology is making that effort very successful, and for the academic the positive result of making large amounts of post-secondary instruction on the Internet is exponential growth of online instructor positions that simply did not exist a decade ago.
The best way for an educator to take advantage of these relatively new online adjunct faculty positions is to use a personal computer to begin building an online teaching schedule populated with six to eight online college courses. It is a serious mistake for any educator to think there is any way to avoid being part of an online faculty since the academic administrators have no ability to increase the number of full time tenured faculty positions in the traditional sense of the position.
