Chemical Information Sources bloger

This chapter of the internet. Chemists and chemical information specialists now have a myriad of tools their disposal to communicate, share and collaborate. Online communication greatly increased in the with the rise of Usenet groups, widespread use of email and of the World Wide Web. The next decade marked the rise of blogs and other social networking tools associated enabling communication to an even greater degree. Wireless networks offer internet access without being tied to wired connections and desktop computers. Internet users have even more mobility through the use of smartphones and tablet computers, while publishers, companies and developers are creating "apps" and mobile-enabled websites to support chemists' information needs on these devices. While chemists still attend conferences to present their research and to network, people not attending can follow the conference as attendees using blogs and Twitter to report on the sessions, and even watch presentations as they are live-streamed.The principal list for chemical information is. Started by Gary Wiggins in it is currently managed by Brian subscribers including chemists, chemical information specialists, publisher and vendor representative as It is currently sponsored by major chemical information units of several professional societies American Chemical Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Chemistry Division of the Special Libraries serves as a forum for discussion of chemical information sources and an information source for chemistry reference A now common way of communicating in the Web 2.0 world of social computing is through reading or maintaining blogs. A blog short for web log is a website where entries of content are written and posted online, generally in reverse chronological order. Blogs can have a personal or professional focus, or a mix of the two; they can be written and maintained by one author or a group of bloggers. Many bloggers allow others to comment on their posts to create two-way communication between the writer and readers. Readers can keep up with new content by visiting the website, setting up e-mail alerts, or subscribing to the blog by adding its feed to an reader. Many bloggers also have Twitter accounts they also use to promote their blogs when there's a new posting. There are ample resources available to help people get started with blogging, which became popular with the advent of authoring tools like Blogger, and WordPress (hosted and download options).The easiest way to find science blogs is to start with the blog networks, listed here at Science Blogging. The first two science blog networks were Nature Network (now at nature.com and and Scientific American, Discover,The Guardian, National Geographic, Wired Science and Double Science are also homes to prominent science bloggers. There are also a number of science blogs outside of these networks, like Galileo's Pendulum, as well as science blogs that are part of broader news networks, like Bad Astronomy at Slate or The Science Consumer at Forbes.also includes to track independent bloggers; one of these, Research Blogging, tracks bloggers who write about peer-reviewed research.You could use a Web service such asoGroups to find or start a group that shares your interests.Thousands of news groups were developed to be read through Unix news readers. They were distributed to organizations only through network Therefore, you may have to request that a subscription be added if your organization utilizes newsgroups. The news feed is read by newsreader client software or newsreaders included with network browsers. They have names that start with:

Bloger Introduces a Touch-Screen Laptop

   Bloger Introduces Touch-Screen

The company introduced the Pixel on Thursday, a new version of its Chromebook laptops that store everything online without desktop software. The latest version has a few major distinguishing factors. Google designed and manufactured the laptop itself, and it has a touch screen.It is also much more expensive anthropomorphous. model selling for will begin shipping next week, and a model equipped with an cellular network selling ship in April. By contrast, the Chromebook that Google introduced last fall cost co-and was marketed as an inexpensive, extra device for the home.The Pixel, meanwhile, is for power users, said Sunday Archaic Google’s senior vice president for Chrome, at a news media event in a San Francisco design studio.Translation: Google is going directly after Apple and Microsoft to try to sell its own high-end devices.The question is whether customers will buy a laptop at this price from an untested manufacturer, especially when it requires people to do all their computing in the cloud. There are a host of competitively priced computers on the market with similar and additional features. Analysts say that in the near future, most laptops will have touch screens.“For people who have committed to the cloud and really want a good laptop, this is the best laptop from a hardware standpoint,” Mr. Archaic said. “Some of them buy Macs, some of them buy Windows 8 machines and we wanted to make sure you could see Chromebooks in that segment.”said that Google’s engineers paid obsessive attention to the laptop’s design. Its touch screen is brighter, taller and higher resolution than most laptops, though it also drains the battery more quickly. 

                                                                                                   The keyboard responds differently based on how hard or soft you type.Then there are little things the screws are hidden, there is a microphone under the keyboard so the computer can mute your typing when you are on a video chat and the base of the computer stays put when you lift open the top.The new Chromebook is a big step in Google’s transition to hardware company. It acquired Motorola Mobility and has teamed up with other manufacturers to build previous Chromebooks and Android Nexus devices. It has already built the ill-fated Nexus Q home entertainment device and Google glasses.“It’s been a long time in computing since weave had this rate of change, it probably hasn't happened since the birth of personal computing,” Larry Page, Google’s chief executive, told analysts in January. “That’s why weave put so much focus on devices.”When people use Google devices, the thinking goes, they are more likely to use Google’s other products like-search docs and photo sharing and see more ads.Chromebooks can store a small amount of data, like a file someone sends you to download. But the idea is that users will do their computing in the cloud. Instead of using Microsoft Word or Outlook, for instance, people use Google Docs That offers immediate backup and the ability to access digital files from any Internet-connected computer“Even people like my mom and dad live in the cloud, they just don’t know what the cloud is,” .The problem is that few people are ready to live entirely in the cloud, and even many of those who are ready cannot do so because applications like Word are such a big part of their computing lives.Google added a few features to make that easier with the Pixel. If a user plugs in a camera’s memory card, the photos upload to Google Plus and the user can share them with a click. With the help of Quickfire a start-up Google acquired last year, a way to seamlessly open, edit and send files was created on the Chromebook.These features are an acknowledgement that Google Docs is nowhere close to taking on Microsoft Office.“All of us deal with Word files, Excel files. “It’s here to stay.”To help people make the cloud transition, Google is offering one terabyte of Google Drive storage for three years with the Pixel. That amount of storage is worth-the more expensive model of the Pixel can also tap into Verizon‘s cellular network when there is no WiFi available. The cellular model will not require a subscription to a monthly data plan. Instead, users will have various options for connecting to the cellular network, like buying access for a day or adding their device to their monthly Verizon plans Chromebooks also come megabytes of free data traffic each month for two year that the lines are blurring between Google’s two operating systems Chrome, used on the company’s laptops, and Android, typically used for touch-screen phones and tablets. He said that did not matter because users of either operating system used the same Google services.The Pixel, which is made in Taiwan, will be sold and online at the Google Play store.Best Buy says it will start on Sunday a two-week promotion on purchases of touchscreen laptops and desktop computers running Windows 8, the latest operating system from Microsoft intended to spark a new wave of touch-friendly computers.Microsoft has pretty much bet the company that touchscreens will migrate from smartphones and tablets to become prevalent in PCs, televisions and other gadgets used in homes and businesses. The stakes are high for others, too.Intel, whose chips are used in most Windows-based computers, has predicted that convertible, touch-enabled designs will erase the boundaries between laptops and tablets. Microsoft rival Google also unveiled Thursday touchscreen laptops powered by its software.But touchscreen PCs have not exactly been flying off the shelves since Windows 8′s release in late October. One reason is that the cost of their displays adds to the price of computers; touchscreen laptops typically start at roughly-and-up for those that equipped for touch. The discount may help offset the generally higher costs of Windows 8 computers with touchscreens.Best Buy said it is absorbing the cost of the discounts along with PC makers, Microsoft and Intel. The retailer said Friday it decided to launch the promotion after recent surveys the company conducted showed the consumers who bought touchscreen Windows devices the price  homes and businesses. computers were significantly happier  PCs with a typical screen.

Bloger Science Projects

Bloger Science Projects

The World Wide Web has changed the world by providing the cheapest information sharing network ever seen. And the development of blowing software, now powerful and free to use, allows anyone to share their thoughts instantly with anyone else in the world with an Internet connection.That personal link is at the heart of blog er The very word blog comes from web log, in other words a diary. Just as diaries can have many forms, so can blogs, but they tend to differ from conventional media in their focus. Riparian Huffing ton, founder of the highly successful blogger uses a medical analogy. She describes the mainstream media as suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder always looking for the next new thing and leaving yesterday's stories unfinished. Bloggers, in contrast, are more like obsessive-compulsive persistently and doggedly pursuing single topicality might be a scientist who wants to blog about your own science or issues facing scientists. You might be a science journalist wanting to report on science in a way that is different to the more conventional publications that you write for. Or you may be a wannabe political commentator, monitoring science police and its potential impacts. All of these could come under the umbrella of science blogging, which follows many of the same rules as other types of blogs.First, choose a subject that you are both passionate and knowledgeable about. Keep it focused. Choose too broad a topic physics, say and you will find it very hard to add something unique and interesting to the web that will attract readers. The risk of picking too narrow a topic is far lower there may be few people in your organisation who care deeply about , for example, but there are likely to be many more around the world.What you choose to blog about and how will also depend on your intended audience, be they scientists in that field, scientists from other disciplines or the general One of the very best, and most successful, science blogs is called, written by biologist. Myers, who works at the University of Minnesota. He describes it as "evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal", and it has been a powerful pro-science voice in the creationism debate in the United States.The blog is one of many excellent blogs on ScienceBloger. The site's founder, Adam Ply aims to make science as central to culture as politics or the arts, and Science shows how the engaging and conversational style of blogs can help make that happen.So how personal blog er.Here's a rule of thumb if you start writing about your pet dog, you have probably crossed a line. But anything short of that is not only fine, it's essential. Your personality is what will make your blog stand out from others, and will bring you that all important connection with your readers.This can be uncomfortable for academics and professional journalists, who spend their careers sheltered by the use of the third person struggling to begin n I started blogging). But persevere, you will quickly adapt and find it liberating. If you don't, then what you are writing isn't a blog, it's an article.How regularly should you blog? The short answer is every day. Readers want to feel the blog is alive, and frequent posts show this. A minimum is twice a week. Any less and you'll need to be a very influential person to get away with it.One way of getting around having to post frequently yourself is to set up a group blog. But this can be difficult, unless the group shares a clear sense of purpose and similar attitudes. One successful example of this approach is Effect Measure, run by a group of public health professionals.If the prospect of posting daily seems off-putting, remember that each post does not have to be a thousand words of carefully argued and finely crafted prose. Quite the reverse in fact think of it as having a conversation with your readers.Short observations on news events that use your expertise, for example to point out misconceptions, are great. Posts that link to new or interesting information elsewhere on the web are also very valuable.You are using your special knowledge to filter the vast amount of content on the web for others. By aggregating material, you are editing the web for your readers. articles. Video, pictures and graphics can be even more interesting. If I was blogging about be linking to this video. I won't try to give a step-by-step account of how to blog here there are plenty online. But if you can use a word processor and web browser, you already have per cent of the skills you need. The other ten per cent are very simple, for example using basic or the buttons in your blog software, to make key phrases bold or to add web links.There is a wide variety of blog software available, all with on how to use them. 

                                                                                        The simplest host the blog for you, with the most popular being Blogger, WordPress and Telepathy downside with these blog sites is that you have less control over the If you want to host your own blog, check out Movable Type, for example.The Guardian's blogging guru, Kevin Anderson, recommends guides to the pros and cons of different options available on these sites: Pro blogger,readwriteweb and Computerworld bandwidth and Internet access in some areas of the developing world may limit all forms of blogging.Jonathan Nosier a software developer living in Kampala, Uganda, describes blogging from a developing country as "a lesson in patience, endurance and ingenuity". On his blog on Apprifca he recommends ten applications that can ease the challenges of dealing with power cuts, unstable Internet connections and potential data loss.Getting a readership Once you have your blog up and running, you'll need to get people coming to visit. This can be hard at the start, but be patient. There are a number of things you can do, and the key is linking.First, you need to include lots of links in all that you post. This helps with 'search engine optimization , that is, it helps search engines understand the sorts of site your blog is like, and this means people searching for your topic will be more likely to find your blog.Even more important is encouraging links from other sites to your blog. You can do this by leaving comments on other sites you like, which include links back to relevant posts on your blog. Note the word relevant if your links are not relevant, they will annoy people, which is not a way to become popular.You can also list the other blogs you like this is called a blogroll. It's worth asking those bloggers if they would like to link to you they will if they like your blog. Lastly, it's worth sending details of your blog to Technorati, which acts as a search engine specifically for blogs.If you intend to blog about peer-reviewed research articles, you could register with Research Blogging, a website which highlights the posts of its registered users when they write about new journal papers.Generating discursiveness's another important difference between blogging and conventional journalism and science communication. Writers of conventional media must not leave questions hanging their stories need a beginning, middle and end. But blogging, being a conversation, means you can ask questions, as my food writer colleague Jay Grayness did recently on the topic of genetically modified foods.A truly great science blog, also connected to the Guardian, is Science, written by the medical doctor Ben Gold acre His conversations with his readers often posts.Discussions with your readers is an essential hallmark of a good blog. A blog without discussion is like a radio talk show without callers a lecture in fact. The simplest way to create a discussion is by asking for one what do you think of what I have written?" When someone does comment, make sure you reply to them on the blog. After all, you wouldn't ignore someone who spoke to you in person.Not all comments will be interesting or constructive, and moderating the comments on your blog is a difficult balance. If you are oversensitive in deleting comments, readers will soon learn that you are not really interested in having a debate. On the other hand, if you let anything go, you will soon find your blog infested with trolls people who post irrelevant and provocative comments to disrupt discussions and this could bore or intimidate interesting people, driving them away.Many trolls will back down if you reply personally to them. Their aggression  when they reseal  is a real person behind the screen.

I wrote about collecting and preservingt century librarians are integrating the collection and preservation of digital items such as eBooks, datasets, and websites into their traditional analog collections. For example, the Library of Congress has been involved i since the We traditionally collect websites based upon a theme or a 2013, and Papal Transition 2013.I also wrote, in Scientific Treasures, about the Science 2013) conference sponsored by the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation . This conference provoked me to think about the different objects that are created by century scientists (and scholars) and what libraries and institutions will (should) be collecting and preserving for current/future generations.These aforementioned blog posts motivated me to question my responsibility as a science librarian at the Library of Congress. Am I doing all I can to collect and preserve scientific knowledge for Congress, our current users, and future generations? Is there something at risk of not being collected and can I do something about itI don’t need to convince you that the communication of science has expanded outside the realm of print and we are increasingly ingesting science information from the web, such as websites, blogs,  social media, etc. In response to these questions I came up with a proposal to collect and preserve science blogs. I am happy to report that the Library’s web archiving team approved it, and nominations have already begun!The main goal of the Science Blogs Collection will be to capture a representative sample of science research, writing, teaching and communication, as well as scientific discourse in the United States. The project will target science blogs that produce original thought and observations in all major scientific disciplines (earth sciences, physical sciences, and life sciences) for all audience levels, and in all categories (press, non-profit, personal, The exception will be health and medicine related blogs, which are being captured by the National Library of Medicine.?What is the usefulness of this information?: does it help explain will this blog supplement a preexisting collection?Does this blog have research value? This is a hard one to answer, but I look at the main topic of the blog and the author. For example, a blog written by a scientist researching the melting ice caps includes data, photographs or other observations. I would consider to have research value.Is the blog at risk? For example a blog from a funded science project that lasted a year could be at risk of being lost as new project blogs replace it, or when a publisher upgrades its software/website, it might not migrate the older content (e.g., blogs) to its new site.Last, but certainly not least, Can the blog in.

It’s the people’s library. So if you were a science librarian who wants to preserve a selection of science blogs that would benefit Congress and the American people, what would you collect and preserve for posterity? What are your selection criteria? What makes a good blog? What topics are important to collect?@Nancy Thank you for taking time to comment. You raise important questions that must be discussed and which there might not be just one solution/ answer. I, a science librarian, am one of many who are preserving science blogs (and other type of material). Are you familiar with the Science ? There has been discussion of archiving of blogs and other type of online digital media at this conference. Some push for self archiving and some rely on the archiving by publishers/institutions/ libraries. I am sure paid companies will come into play as well. If you haven’t already you might want to take a look at In short, the LC Science Blog collection is a selected representation of science blogs that follow a selection policy that is used by the Library of Congress to build its collections. In addition to collecting books, I am collecting blogs.I wish I knew the solutions, but by making these issues a priority and talking about them- we can help the online science community create a game plan.

The vaccine, designed to protect against several types of sexually-transmitted papillomavirus, was first administered to Aussie girls in 20013. Since then, total prevalence of the virus among young women has dropped from among girls who actually got the vaccine. These girls are also protecting their partners and reducing overall circulation of . Infections among young men, who were not even vaccinated, dropped from percent.

I thought the best “back to normal” post I could do today would be an amazing giveaway, to spread some cheer and happiness to others. So here it is! Matouk is an amazing luxury bedding company, as you may know, and they happen to be a Massachusetts based company as well (Boston Strong, people!) Andrew and I have never spent a lot on sheets because 1) we have dogs who sleep on the bed and are, well,  we are apparently gross. Between self-tanner and “I am too lazy to take my makeup off” nights, my sheets never stay crisp white. But the other night I happened to notice that my sheets from a discount store were pilling after just two washes! So I was so excited when Matouk asked to partner up for a giveaway, because (full disclosure) I got sent a set of their Lowell sheets to try.  So smooth and crisp and hotel-like- so much nicer to get into at night! I made the bed up all nice (Baxter and Oliver got yelled at and tossed off several times in the process) and snapped some pictures even though my bedroom is not nearly “done”.

I know that life must goes on, but to me, it still doesn’t feel right to go back to normal posts today. My heart just wouldn’t be in it, and I don’t feel like faking it- not only for myself, but for you too.

It’s amazing that complete strangers felt worried about someone they never have even met.In Boston the outpouring of love and support is amazing. A friend posted on Facebook that when he went into one of my favorite coffee shops in the South End he was told someone had paid for everyone’s coffee yesterday. Isn’t that just lovely? It’s just one example of the acts of kindness spreading through the city in the wake of this horrible act. It made me think, as I was wide away at  that what this evil, cowardly person did .It did not destroy us, it made us stronger.It did not breed hate, it birthed MORE love.We did not run away, we ran towards.We were not shattered, we were united.People are not evil, they are good.It’s very easy to feel helpless right now, and I want to use this small platform of mine to do something but am not sure what. So for now I’ll just share the information for the One Fund Boston, set up by our governor and mayor to assist victims with medical expenses and other needs.I know that there are scads of people looking for whoever did this today. And while they cower and hide, I hope they realize that they failed miserably. And I hope that when they catch them, and they will, their destination is Suffolk County Jail. Because Boston takes care of it’s own.

Popular Bloger Design

 Popular Bloger Design

Even the most unique blog designs usually follow, at least in part, some sort of predefined or established style. And there are plenty of design styles to choose from if you’re looking for inspiration. Whatever your personal style, there are design patterns out there that can be adapted to suit your own aesthetic ideal and the needs of your site. And often working within a predefined pattern can enhance your creativity by helping you focus.Below we’ve rounded up eleven common design patterns seen throughout blog designs on the web. But just because they’re commonly seen doesn’t mean they aren’t unique and filled with plenty of individuality and creativity. Figuring out how to make your own unique mark on a widely-recognized style can prove to be a creative challenge for nearly any designer. Read on for inspiration and ideas for your next design projects.Hand drawn blogs are all over the place. Some of these designs are very doodle-esque, while others are more like fine art. They can lend a more relaxed feeling to a blog’s design, as well as a healthy dose of creativity. One of the best parts of this style is that it’s so customizable. The illustrations used can really reflect the style of the owners or writer.Grunge style has been around on the web for a few years now, and it’s still going strong. A couple of big trends in grunge design include minimalist grunge, where the theme is very minimal with the exception of the grunge elements, and more refined grunge that isn’t as messy as early incarnations. Again, this is a style that has tons of room for creativity and individual expression.Minimalist designs can be some of the hardest to pull off well, despite their simplicity. When less is more, every single element becomes vitally important. Some of the hallmarks of miminalist design are lots of white space (or negative space), simple typography and few images.Grid and magazine-type themes have also been around for a few years now.                                                           They’re excellent when you have a very information-heavy site (like many blogs) and add a sense of order and structure to a design. But they also leave plenty of room for creativity, as is illustrated in some of the designs below.Collage styles are as varied as the blogs they style. Basically, these are designs that take a number of elements (often photographs or realistic illustrations) and combine them to form a background that might resemble a bulletin board or messy desk. It’s a unique style that allows for a lot of individual expression through what’s included in the collage.Gallery blogs aren’t limited to just displaying images. Many blogs that focus mostly on text are using gallery layouts for their home pages, as a way to fit more information in a smaller space and leave things looking uniform and organized. Of course, there are plenty of sites out there using gallery layouts for what they were originally intended: photos, illustrations, and design work.Unique combinations of textures and patterns can lead to a very creative and exceptionally beautiful theme. There are thousands of textures available out there, many free for personal or commercial use, so this style is largely accessible to all sorts of designers.Transparency can add an extra bit of polish to any blog design. When combined with a unique background, transparency creates a whole new level of elegance many blog designs lack. Some blogs use transparency throughout their designs, while others use it only in select locations to add a little extra..

Do you teach qualitative methods, text analysis, data mining or mixed methods at undergraduateThe Internet is an integral part of blogs, Twitter and others all create enormous quantities of data – texts, images and video – that social scientists are now beginning to analyse. But traditional methods of qualitative analysis that are used to do this and that are still taught at undergraduate level are not always up to the task. Fortunately, the development of software to assist in qualitative data analysis now includes functions that can complement standard approaches with techniques adapted from textual analysis and data mining.The use of software in qualitative analysis is common in postgraduate training and many researchers are now using its new functions of word frequency counts and cluster analysis to complement their analyses. However, at undergraduate level there is so far little use of software in teaching, unlike the standard use of statistics programs in quantitative analysis.The project is surveying the state of activity in qualitative research teachers’ use of these approaches and will identify examples of good practice. It will try to tackle one of the barriers to the development of teaching in research methods which is the lack of good resources and data sets by making available those in use by teachers who are ‘leading the field’.Can you help? The questionnaire will take between to complete but it can be saved part way through if you want to complete it later.The event aimed at discussing the use of participatory approaches in creating a shared pedagogical space in the form of an Early Childhood Resource and Research Room by consulting and listening to students’ views, within a Higher Education Institution. The room is being developed as a curriculum enhancement space for the Early Years and Early Childhood Studies degree courses within the Department of Education, at Anglia Ruskin University. The project offers opportunities for students’ participation and sustained education experience.Mallika Kanyal has carried out similar work in using participatory approaches with young children to understand their perceptions of the learning environment. The event was an opportunity to extend this work and consider the application of participatory approaches in Higher Education with an emphasis on developing a pedagogically and socially relevant space for students. Her work with young children has been published in the following two books:The event started with an overview of the work of ‘Early Childhood Research Group’ within the University and an outline of the inception and value of Early Childhood Resource and Research Room in our curriculum. Kathy , emphasised the importance of students’ voice work and its recent addition as one of the main ‘strands’ i work. This led to the introduction of the students’ participation project in Anglia Ruskin University, with Mallika Kanyal outlining its aims and objectives, and also sharing the evidence of the work being done in consultation with students. There was contribution by student participantswho also shared their experiences and perspectives on their involvement in the project.Mallika’s presentation can be accessed Being a participatory project, both students and staff shared their ‘stories’ and perceptions of an Early Childhood Resource and Research Room within a Higher Education Institution. This opened up discussion on making links with the wider community, for example, with Early Years settings, schools, Further Education colleges and neighbouring Universities. Networking continued over lunch time where delegates exchanged ideas and contact details for any future work.Presentations continued after lunch and Judy van Heerden, one of the external speakers for the event, from University of Pretoria, South Africa, gave an inspiring online presentation on ‘Using a Model Class in the Training of Undergraduate Early Childhood Development Students at a University’. The presentation was extremely helpful as it gave examples, through the use of images, of a similar room being used in action in another university.

                                                                                       There was discussion on using the ‘room’ for curriculum enrichment by making it an integral part of modules delivery.Vickie Thomas and Nicole Rippingale from Early Years Workforce Development team, Essex County Council, presented another interesting dimension to students work by giving an overview of the Essex Early Years support for training. The talk was especially targeted for student practitioners and Further Education and Higher Education tutors, who teach current practitioners. This instigated discussion on the support and funding available for student practitioners, highly relevant for their Continued Professional Development.The discussion continued with yet another thought provoking presentation by Dr Gerry Czerniawski and Warren Kidd, from University of East London. They opened a wider debate on participatory work by reviewing the landscape of student voice. Issues related to policy and trust in students’ voice work were reviewed and raised, for example, the need for radical pedagogy and critical consideration of problems for research, practice and democracy.The event concluded with a short presentation on the impact of students’ participation on their learning and personal development by Mallika Kanyal and student participants, Dominic Abbott and Gemma Lewis.Mallika Kanyal gave a general account of the possible impact of participatory work on student learning and personal development and Dominic Abbott and Gemma Lewis gave specific examples of the impact at a personal level. The presentation finished by opening up a debate on the critical use of participatory approaches and their claim to be empowering, participative and transformative.Malika comments “I found these two pieces of work very helpful while working on students participation project”: Doing student voice work in Higher Education: an exploration of the value of participatory methods. British Educational This work discusses the use of participatory methods in a UK Higher Education Institution, illustrated with the help of two case studies. The case studies give examples of student’ voice work and how it can help to ‘transform the familiar’ and ‘empower students’ by listening to the explicit as well as implicit voices of students. Hearing the student voice: promoting and encouraging the effective use of the student voice to enhance professional development in learning, teaching and assessment within higher education.Available Accessed SeptemberThis work encourages the use of students’ voice for effective academic professional development, including learning and teaching and assessment, and students learning experience. It is an ESCalate project and represents the work of four universities who collaborated on the project.I would like to further develop this work and document and share the outcomes in the form of a ‘working’ Early Childhood Resource and Research Room. I would like to document continued participation by students and also explore the challenges of sustaining students’ participation in similar projects.I would also like to further explore the links developed with other academics, for example, Warren Kidd Judy van Heerden (University and Manabu Sumida (Ehime University, Japan), who have either engaged with students voice work or opened up similar Practice and Research based room(s) in their education institutions. It will be great to develop some collaborative project(s) and share our passion for participatory work in Higher Education.If you are interested in being updated about future developments, please contact Malika via the email address above.The model of initial teacher educatios changing in England, with a shift in the philosophy around the leadership of This shift is moving away from providers (often located in universities) and towards ‘school-led provision’. At the same time as the changes the school curriculum is undergoing change with a relaxation on the direction of content for some school subjects; Design and Technology is one of these subjects. Teacher Educators this is an exciting time of change. More flexible ways of delivering ITE are being developed, with an emphasis on the three way partnership between university, school and the students. On-line learning tools are also being developed to enables trainee teachers (students) to personalise their learning within and outside the university. This event was designed to provide a space for D&T Teacher Educators to come together and discuss ideas related to the above: how universities are engaging with changes to ITE and the curriculum fo within secondary education; and how blended learning can be used to support these changes.The event was opened with an engaging panel-led discussion on the theme of ‘new ways forward in the changing environment’. The panel consisted of important education. John Everson, Partnerships Manager Owen-Jackson, Senior Lecturer in Educationat The Open University and David Spendlove, Senior Lecturer at The University of Manchester. The panel raised a variety of points for discussion around the move for ITE towards ‘school-led provision’. After the panel-led discussion, groups discussed the various implications for university providers under the themes of: funding & fees; school led routes; qualifications for the profession; the new teaching standards; and the role of Of sted.and third editions, the new text combines the best of the old, while also reflecting important changes in ways of thinking critically about, understanding and responding to crime and deviance. Chapters begin with box text outlines of key themes subsequently covered, thus setting up signposts for the reader and preparing them for what follows. Selected further readings are suggested at the end of chapters.Tierney adopts a linear approach to discussion, helping to demonstrate how theories evolve and are refined over time. The book is divided into six parts (Preliminaries and Early History; World War Two to the New Millennium), enabling the reader to consider criminological thinking in relation to social, political and economic contexts. If the reader wants to follow the development of a particular strand (e.g. feminism) they can do so with ease. In terms of pitch and writing style, discussion is generally pitched at a level that should be accessible for most students, although for some aspects of theory new students may find preliminary reading of a basic introductory text enhances their understanding.Presentation is monochrome, unlike many recent texts that use colour for emphasis. Sciences Bloger

Science-Based Bloger

People are sometimes surprised to learn that all the heavy hitters of alternative medicine, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy, etc., are inflicted on animals as well as humans. I’ve written about veterinary homeopathy, and the associated manufactroversy, in a previous post, and today I thought I’d take a look at veterinary chiropractic.In most states, chiropractic is defined in terms of treatment of humans and chiropractors are thereby licensed only to treat humans. However, there are a variety of ways around this for people who want to subject their animals to this therapy. Some chiropractors will simply treat animals and ignore the fact that it isn’t technically legal for them to do so. And some veterinarians will take one of the many training courses available in animal chiropractic and then employ it as part of their practice of veterinary medicine. A previous SBM article has discussed the lack of consistency or legitimate scientific content in most of these courses.If there’s a characteristic that’s common among proponents of alternative medicine, it’s tenacity. The willingness to stick with an idea, no matter the evidence, must give one a certain clarity. The naturalistic fallacy is often the foundation. Natural is good, synthetic is bad, no matter the evidence. In some cases, in spite of the evidence. How one deals with contradictory evidence is an effective tool to differentiate between medicine and alternative medicine – given sufficient convincing evidence, medicine changes its practices. The same can’t be said for alternative medicine, where few treatments are ever discarded. Otherwise practices like homeopathy, acupuncture, reiki, and chiropractic would have disappeared long ago. It’s also why disproven products continue to have occasional resurgences in interest. Cranberry is one. It has been touted as a treatment and a preventative for urinary tract infections for years. And it doesn’t seem to work not well, and not reliably, if you look at all the trials. And that’s being generous, considering the work.                                                    
                                                                                  I know a dead parrot when I see one. Yet its advocates, mainly manufacturers keep insisting it’s alive, supported by the occasional positive report that appears. With a new systematic review and meta-analysis that declares it’s effective, it’s time to update our review. Continue Reading The integrity of the scientific basis of medicine is under attack from numerous fronts. It is not only the intrusion of pseudoscience and mysticism into mainstream institutions of medicine, but also attempts to distort or game the scientific process for ideological and financial reasons.Ideological groups such as the anti-vaccine movement, or grassroots organizations promoting pseudodiseases such as chronic Lyme, electromagnetic sensitivity, or Morgellon’s often misrepresent the scientific evidence while they lobby for special privilege to avoid the science-based standard of care within medicine.Pharmaceutical companies, with billions on the line, have been very creative in figuring out ways to optimize their chances of getting FDA approval for their drugs, and then promoting their drugs to the medical community. Ghost-writing white papers, hiding negative trials, and designing trials to maximize positive outcomes have all beendocumentedAs usual, I was impressed with Mark Crislip’s post on Friday in which he discussed the boundaries between science-based medicine and what we sometimes refer to as woo or what Mark often refers to as sCAM. It got me to thinking a bit, which is always a dangerous thing, particularly when such thinking leads to my writing something for my not-so-super-secret other blog. Of course, this is not my but that doesn’t make it that much less dangerous. Be that as it may, I started thinking about a gambit I started noticing a few years ago being directed at me by the targets of my logorrheic deconstructions. Actually, I noticed it from the very beginning, when I first started blogging about versus quackery way back and even before, back when I was one of a doughty band of pro-science types who waded into the Wild West of online forums known as Usenet, in particular the misc.health.alternative newsgroup.I happen to be in Washington, DC as I write this. In fact, as I write this I’m here to attend the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research the better to soak in all that cancer science goodness andbe pumped up to go back and keep trying to do good science and, hopefully, manage to get my lab funded. Of course, the latter task is a really daunting these days, a truly depressing thing to contemplate, given that the current payline for the National Cancer Institute is around the 7th percentile, which makes me worry about how much longer my lab will be open. My self pity aside, Mark got me to thinking about the characteristics of purveyors of non-science-based medicine compared to. More precisely, I started thinking about a difference that what Mark calls sCAMmers try to pin on those of us who try to defend against the forces of pseudoscience. To introduce this concept, I think it’s worth going back a few years to a comment I got a long, long time ago on a blog far, far awayVacation then taxes have consumed my focus the last two weeks, and I have had little time to devote to issues of infectious diseases, much less SBM, so I will instead meander around a more philosophical terrain. I feel guilty when I do not have a substantive, data driven post evaluating a paper or essay in detail, but some weeks there just is not the time.Being involved with SBM has been, like all intellectual endeavors, a process rather than result. I keep experimenting with conceptual frameworks with which I can understand the differences between a SBM approach and a SCAM (supplements, complementary and alternative medicine) approach. Nothing clarifies thoughts quite like writing them down. Or maybe not.The motto of the blog is “exploring the relationships between science and medicine” but it is often more about non-overlapping boundaries* than relationships. We are often separated more by Berlin walls than Venn diagrams.There are perhaps four boundaries that separate science-based medicine from those check.

He managed to include all articles monographed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States in the definition of drugs within the although why he did so remains in dispute.

No matter the result with that tool, the only way to be secure is to change your password on other sites if you also used it here.ScienceBasedMedicine.org was recently hacked, and user account information may have been stolen: usernames, passwords, and email addresses. Most of the potentially stolen passwords were strongly encrypted that is, extremely difficult to read. About random accounts, roughly of the total, were not protected as effectively and may be at greater risk.If your SBM password was used for any other service, website, or account, you should change that duplicate password as soon as possible. (For example: if your SBM password is the same as your password for Gmail, you should immediately go to When hackers get your password from one place, they often try to use the same password with other services and websites. Unfortunately, this is a fairly effective strategy, because many people use the same password for many of their logins. This is why all security experts strongly recommend using unique passwords for all critical services.On Sunday, March 10, hackers successfully gained access to the SBM server, and attempted to use it to attack other servers. Eventually it gave itself away by using too much computing power.On Monday, April 1, our hijacked server was shut down by the service provider. We remained offline for a full day as we repaired the damage and strengthened our protections against hackers. SBM is now back online but all users will have to reset their passwords before commenting again.There is no way to know if the attacker actually took any data from ScienceBasedMedicine.org itself, but the safest course is to act on the assumption that they did. However, most of that data was strongly protected by encryption standard practice for user account information on WordPress blogs for exactly this reason. You can find details on this encryption hereNevertheless, we know that some of the passwords again, only aboutwere less protected. pecifically, they used an older-based encryption.) Therefore, we strongly urge all users to make sure they are not using their password anywhere else.For many years I have been using Continuing Medical Education programs offered by the American Academy of Family Physicians . The FP Essentials program consists of a monthly monograph with a post-test that can be submitted electronically for 5 hours of redit. Overhj-year cycle, a complete family medicine curriculum is covered to prepare participants for the re-certification board exams. Some examples of typical subjects are skin cancer, hand and wrist injuries, valvular heart disease, and care of the newborn. I rely on these programs to learn, review, and keep up-to-date in my specialty. Imagine my dismay when I opened the latest package to find a monograph on Integrative Medicine.First it was called various names like folk medicine, quackery, and unproven/untested treatments, then all of those (the less rational right along with the more rational were lumped together under the umbrella term “Alternative Medicine,” then it became “Complementary and Alternative Medicine” and now it has been re-branded as “Integrative Medicine.” The term is designed to make unscientific treatments seem more acceptable to science-based doctors. “Integrative Medicine” is a marketing term, not a meaningful scientific category. It is a euphemism for combining Complementary and Alternative Medicine with mainstream medical practice, unproven with proven, magic with science. It has been critiqued many times on this blog. We have stressed that there is only one medicine, and that when a treatment is proven to work by good evidence, it is just “medicine.” When the evidence for a CAM treatment is not good, it essentially amounts to experimental treatments and/or comfort measures. Worse, sometimes CAM even persists in using treatments that have been proven not to work or that are totally .
                                                                                                        

Blogger i pad system

 Blogger i pad system  

The iPad is a line of tablet computers designed and marketed by Inc., which runs Apple's operating system. The first iPad was released on the most recent iPad models, the fourth-generation iPad and iPad Mini, were released on The user interface is built around the device's mufti-touchscreen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad has built-in and, on some models, cellular connectivity.An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Blogger online functions such as webs browsing and emailing. Other functions games, reference,navigation, social networking, etc.can be enabled by downloading and installing apps; , the App Store offered more than 700,000 apps by Apple and third parties.There are five generations of the iPad. The first generation established design precedents, such as screen size and button placement, that have persisted through all models. The iPad 2 added a dual cor processor and VGA front-facing and rear-facing cameras designed for Face Time video calling. The third generation added a Retina display, the new Apple A processor with a quad-core graphics processor, a 5 megapixel camera, HID 1080 video recording, voice dictation, and . The fourth generation adds the A apple A processor and replaces the 30-pin connector with an all-digital Lightning connector. The iPad Mini features a reduced screen size of 7.9 inches, in contrast to the standard 9.7 inches, and features similar internal specifications as the iPad 2. It also uses the new "Lightning" connector as the iPad adds Sir to the third and fourth Apple's first tablet computer was the introduced in 1993, which led to the creation of the processor core with Acorn Computers. Apple also developed a prototype Power Book -based tablet, the Pen-lite, but decided not to sell it in order to avoid hurting Message Pad sales. Apple released several more Newton-based PDAs; the final one, the Message n pad, was discontinued in 1998.Apple re-entered the mobile-computing markets in 2007 with the iPhone. Smaller than the iPad, but featuring a camera and mobile phone, it pioneered the multitudinous finger-sensitive touchscreen interface of Apple's SOS mobile operating system. By late , the iPad's release had been rumored for several years. Such speculation mostly talked about "Apple'sblogger tablet"; specific names included i Tablet and i Slate. The iPad was announced on January Apple press conference at the Francisco.He later said that Apple had begun developing the iPad before the iPhone but had temporarily shelved the effort upon realizing that its ideas would work just as well in a mobile phone.The iPad's internal code name was which was revealed in the court case surrounding leaking of iPad information before launch.Apple began taking orders for the first-generation iPad from American customers on March 12, 2013 only major change to the device between its announcement and being available to order was the change of the behavior of the side switch from sound muting to that of a screen rotation lock. The WI Fe version of the iPad went on sale in the United States on April 3, 2013.The WI-Fe version was released on April 30. service in the United States is provided by AT&T and was initially sold with two prepaid contract-free data plan options: one for unlimited data and the other for 250 MB per month at half the price.On June 2, 2013, AT&T announced that effective June 7 the unlimited plan would be replaced for new customers with a 2 GB plan at slightly lower cost; existing customers would have the option to keep the unlimited plan.
