College Beyond Grades Getting good grades in college is not as important as developing a creative, integrated and lifelong learning style, writes Ken Bain, a university administrator and professor, in What the Best College Students Do, which will be published next month by Harvard University Press. Bain, who is provost, vice president for academic affairs, and a professor of history and urban education at the University of the District of Columbia, says the book looks at about 30 college graduates from all kinds of institutions -- community colleges, liberal arts colleges and big research universities -- who exhibited a lot of creativity and productivity in their post-college lives. In the book, which is geared toward students, he tries to figure out how their approaches to college explain their behavior. He identifies several factors: “One was that they followed their passions,” he says. What instructors can do These deep learners use intrinsic motivators rather than extrinsic motivators, such as grades.

Bastille - Oblivion (Studio Version) Who will be controlling the 30,000 Drones that Taxpayers pay for? The end to privacy as we know it! ~ Liberty Bell Press Is this a mosquito? No. It represents an insect spy drone. These machines are already in production, funded by the US Government. They can be remotely controlled and equipped with a camera and a microphone. How do they tell wrong from right? So my question is who controls these drones? Why do drones come weapon ready if they are for public use? If an attack by Al Qaeda is imminent why are we arming them openly to fight in Syria?

Adaptive Learning: Why Your Kids Will Be Smarter Than You "Education is a big problem," says Knewton CEO Jose Ferreira. He's spent his whole life in the education space, starting at Kaplan in 1991. He tried to bring adaptive learning to Kaplan in 1993, but it was hard to do so in a brick-and-mortar situation, an environment in which few people even had computers. Education might not be the sexiest of industries, but it's a $7 trillion global industry that's ripe for innovation. Knewton has had students in 190 countries, and this fall over 600,000 students will use the platform. You founded Knewton in 2008 — how did it come about? I spent most of my career in education and technology, I worked at Kaplan, and I was one of the first people trying to bring innovation into for-profit education. “We use data to make your education better, that’s it." So at Knewton, we convince publishers to wire their content properly, and then we can unlock these vast data sets. Learning pathways vary for each student What is the end goal for Knewton?

adidas Basketball 2013 | "Basketball is Everything" feat. D Rose, Big Sean, 2 Chainz & Common To Dab Or Not To Dab? With each passing month, the popularity – and controversy – of butane hash oil (BHO) and the phenomenon surrounding it (known as “dabbing”) continues to grow in the cannabis community. Some hail it as a miracle medicine, a quantum leap forward in stoner evolution. Others criticize it, pointing to the potential dangers involved in both making and ingesting it, as well as possible negative effects on the public’s increasingly favorable attitude toward marijuana. Solvent vs Nonsolvent Extraction The first question to be addressed is: What’s the difference between solvent extracts and traditional hash? “You’re getting a lot of extra goodies that come out in those solvent extracts,” observes Bob Melamede, Ph.D. It’s also widely believed that BHO boasts a higher concentration of THC and is therefore much stronger than traditional hashish. But there are those who disagree – such as Selecta Nikka T, owner and operator of Colorado’s Essential Extracts. So which is better, butane or solventless?

Italian City Gets Super-Creepy Art Inside an Abandoned Mental Hospital - John Metcalfe Abandoned psychiatric hospitals typically don't need much help to be creepy. So you got to respect what Herbert Baglione has done with this shuttered facility in Parma, Italy. If his crepuscular entities sliding over the walls don't give you chills, you might've been born without a nervous system. Baglione is based in São Paulo but has painted these ghostly guys on public walls and in abandoned sites in Paris, Madrid and undisclosed locations. It's part of a project he calls "1,000 Shadows," which seems to be an experiment at keeping urbanites trembling at night over every bump and creak. The sinuous, shape-shifting (and anatomically correct) umbra-creatures bend in impossible positions, slither into darkened rooms and peer out from demonic eye-slits. For the intervention in Parma, a cured meat-loving city in the northern part of the country, the artist invaded an unspecified mental ward and used what was left behind as anchors for his beasties.

Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods. Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug. Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr. John W. What Is Aspartame Made Of? Aspartic Acid (40 percent of Aspartame) Dr. How Aspartate (and Glutamate) Cause Damage Aspartate and glutamate act as neurotransmitters in the brain by facilitating the transmission of information from neuron to neuron.
