Solar Radiometer, blue This Solar Radiometer is made by traditional Thuringian hand-blowing in Germany, of Lauschaer bottle glass - blue-tinted for the globe, clear for the top and foot. In the glass body is a 4-vane drive assembly, which turns under the influence of light. One side of each vane is black, the other is silver. Height: ca. 15cm. (6 in) Globe diameter: ca. 8cm. (3.25 in) The Crookes radiometer, also known as the light mill or solar engine, consists of an airtight glass bulb, containing a partial vacuum.
Split On Delimiters Split Text On Multiple Delimiters This page describes two functions that are logical extensions of the VBA SPLIT function to allow splitting a character string using multiple delimiter characters and/or multiple-character delimiters. With VBA Version 6 (Office 2000), Microsoft introduced the Split function, which splits a text string into an array, using a delimiter character or characters to indicate the separation between words in the input string. You can download an example bas module here. The SplitMultiDelims function is used to split a string into substrings using any of the supplied characters as delimiters between the substrings. If Text contains a|bc$def:ghij, and DelimChars contains the string :|$, the result is the array {a, bc, def, ghij}. The function SplitMultiDelimsEX function is an extension of the SplitMultiDelims function. The code below allows you to split one o rmore multiple-character delimiter strings. This allows mutiple delimiters of different lenghts.
ipad - Any way to completely disable iOS passcode We’ve got the FEAR: Fantastic expectations; Amazing revelations I love this song by Ian Brown. Play it as you read on…is there a better acrostic song?! It is better sung than written down but here is a sample: For each a road For everyman a religion Forget everything and remember For everything a reason Freeing excellence affects reality Fallen empires are running Fantastic expectations; Amazing revelations Final execution and resurrection Free expression as revolution Finding everything and realizing We’ve got the FEAR This post is meant to be more than an excuse to post one of my favourite songs. I believe that too much of our discourse in education is characterised by fear, to an extent that holds us back from taking the steps we need to improve our teaching, to improve our schools and to improve the system. Headteachers scared of: results going down, losing their jobs, public humiliation, OfSTED reports, a critical Chair of Governors, pushy parents, newspaper headlines, union action, being unpopular: Failing. What is the answer? But who starts?

Codecademy Builds ‘Labs,’ A Web-Based Code Editor Smoking hot startup Codecademy, a service which teaches you how to program online has launched its Labs feature today, as a sign of things to come. Codecademy founder Zach Sims tells me that Codecademy, and specifically new hire Amjad Masad, built the feature because it wanted people to be able to play with what they’ve learned on Codecademy without having to download a desktop-based code editor or integrated development environment (IDE). He says that most other online code-learning environments (like Treehouse) don’t yet offer a way for students freeform write and run the code they teach in-browser. In addition to Javascript, which Codecademy already offers courses in, the interactive coding console allows you to program in both Python and Ruby as a way to practice languages and implement curriculum you may have learned elsewhere. In addition to editing, Codecademy Labs allows you to run, and download executable files so your programs can run elsewhere.
Here and there G++ for Google Plus Teaching Kindness: More Than a Random Act It's been a long time since I was in elementary school. But I can remember it like it was yesterday. I wasn't the cutest, skinniest or best-dressed girl. I wasn't even a popular girl, but I had an advantage; I could sing like "nobody's business," and my teachers loved that about me. Times were tough in the late '60s. Not true for all girls in my class. I'll never forget one who was not spared the pain, the hurt and the bullying. I did my best to defend her when I could. The Kind Campaign Recently, I ran across a post about the Kind Campaign and their film, Finding Kind, and I knew that I had to share it. Take a minute to watch an excerpt of this moving film: In Finding Kind, filmmakers Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson, who met while in school at Pepperdine University, set out in a cross-country journey of discovery and education. Finding Kind is a document of that journey, and of the filmmakers' quest to take these experiences and find a common ground of kindness and mutual respect.
