    Becoming critical beings: a thematic study exploring the development, learning and teaching of a group of non traditional adult learners

    Full text link
    The current literature on critical thinking, critical reflection and critical action supports the view that higher education cannot be defined as such without the implicit existence of all three elements in the curriculum. There are many who suggest that, given the changing profile of those now engaging in higher education, these features need to be made more explicit. This study attempts to illustrate how these elements can be made more explicit within a unique teaching and learning context and with a specific non traditional group of adult learners. Barnett (1997) goes further and suggests that these features, which he refers to collectively as the practice of critical being, are an essential requirement for those engaging in higher education. He does not give specifics on how this practice can be taught or how it might find expression in the lives or educational understanding and knowledge of participating students, which is one of the issues this research will attempt to address

    <p><strong>Product Name:</strong> Smart Solar Box: Smart Power 4 All</p> <p><strong>Creator Name:</strong> Ryan Tanner</p> <p><strong>Bonus:</strong> Yes</p> <p><strong><a href="http://bit.ly/smartpowerforall">Official Website: Click Here</a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/smartpowerforall"><em><strong>Smart Solar Box</strong></em></a> is an online system designed to teach you how to create an endless source of self-sustaining energy right here, right now. There’s no need for you to spend a fortune on materials or break your back trying to lift a massive generator. No, you don’t have to go back to school to get an engineering degree nor do you need to have any special skills because everything is provided to you in this step-by-step guide. And I know what you’re thinking – solar panels are expensive. They certainly can be, but they aren’t when you have a book that reveals the solar industry secrets to creating your own solar power station, and one that fits in a toolbox. So, if you’re tired of getting robbed by your electricity bills, finding yourself in the pitch dark when the power suddenly goes out or just want to have your own energy source, you’ve come to the right place. It’s time to learn how to build a Smart Solar Box.</p> <p><strong>About the Smart Solar Box Program</strong></p> <p>If you’re ready to cut your energy bills significantly, it’s time to create your own endless source of self-sustained energy. <a href="http://bit.ly/smartpowerforall"><strong>Smart Solar Box</strong></a> is an online program that provides you with the exact steps to doing just that. This system is more of an instruction manual-tutorial than it is a program, as it doesn’t have all the nonsense that many other “programs” provide. Instead, it gets right down to business – building your own solar power plant in a toolbox.</p> <p><strong>When you start the program, you receive:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The Main eBook</li> <li>3 Video Tutorials on Building the Box</li> <li>10 Easy Steps to Build Your Solar Panels</li> <li>Build Your Own Wind Generator</li> </ul> <p><strong>The Table of Contents for “Smart Solar Box” Guide.</strong></p> <p>The main eBook is where you’ll find the step-by-step instructions needed to create the Smart Solar Box. It covers everything from the tools and electrical components you need, where to get each of them, and of course, what to do when you have all the materials needed. But don’t let this deter you because you don’t need to be a handyman (or woman), nor do you even have to know what a wrench is. The program breaks it down so meticulously that even the most unskilled (ahem, myself) people can make their own energy. Oh, but you aren’t just learning how to make an energy box that sparks a little bit of juice. This toolbox solar system that you learn how to build is strong enough to power up an entire cabin, garage, refrigerator – you name it. You can use it for pretty much everything, and it’s so lightweight and portable, making it easy to do just that.</p> <p>Now, you also receive 3 video tutorials which are pretty much the main eBook broken down into videos. So, if you’re more of a visual person, you’ll definitely like this addition. Just click play and follow along.</p> <p>You also receive 10 Easy Steps to Build Your Solar Panels and Build Your Own Wind Generator which have nothing to do with your Smart Solar Box. However, once you start creating your own energy source (and saving a ton of money from doing so), you’ll want to dive even deeper into it. With these bonuses, you can do just that.</p> <p>The best part? You don’t have to wait for shipping to get started. The guide is entirely online. So, you just download the content onto your desktop, tablet, smartphone or laptop and start following through the steps. I recommend having it on whatever device is going to be in the space where you intend on building your box, whether it’s your office with a desktop or in the man cave or backyard where you’ll need a tablet or smartphone.</p> <p><strong>About the Author of Smart Solar Box</strong></p> <p>What may surprise you is that this solar box wasn’t created by some big tech engineer. Instead, the creator, Ryan Tanner, is just like you and I. After seeing his father creating and using his own energy source while living in a cabin in Wisconsin, he sought out to do the same in his home. And well, here we are!</p> <p><strong>Brief Summary of the Smart Solar Box Guide</strong></p> <p>To help you have a better idea of the steps needed to build your own solar power plant in a toolbox, here is a sneak peek at the sections that you’ll be working through with the Smart Solar Box program:</p> <p><strong>Chapter 1: Introduction</strong></p> <ul> <li>Basic Principle Regarding Solar Energy</li> <li>General Technical Regards</li> </ul> <p><strong>Chapter 2: Tools and Components</strong></p> <ul> <li>Tools</li> <li>Components (electronic parts needed)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Chapter 3: Building The Box</strong></p> <ul> <li>Assembling Solar Panels</li> <li>Preparing the Box</li> <li>Wiring Process</li> <li>Recap – Short Review of the Process</li> </ul> <p><strong>Chapter 4: Testing the Device</strong></p> <p><strong>Chapter 5: List of Places Where You Can By the Components</strong></p> <p>Again, you do have three video tutorials that cover all of this as well. So, whether you prefer to read instructions or thrive on visual instructions, there’s an option for you.</p> <p>Add on the 10 Easy Steps to Build Your Solar Panels and Build Your Own Wind Generator bonus tutorials you receive, and you’re pretty much ready for anything that comes your way.</p> <p>You also receive extra-extra bonus programs at no extra charge to you. Some apply to this energy-saving endeavor you’re embarking on and others, not so much. But they’re free. So, might as well download them while you’re at it. They are:</p> <ul> <li>Personal Home Security</li> <li>Martial Arts for Seniors</li> <li>Backyard Bio Gardening</li> <li>Going Green 101</li> <li>Saving Energy in Your Home</li> </ul> <p><strong>The Verdict</strong></p> <p>Put it all together, and you get a solar power plant that is affordable, portable and small enough that it fits in a toolbox, plus 7 bonus programs at absolutely no extra charge to you, and a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee to figure out whether or not you’re serious about saving money. Certainly, once you see how easy it is to do just that, you’d be crazy to opt to pay for city-electricity when you can have your own brewing in the sun. Oh, which leaves me to one more thing. <a href="http://bit.ly/smartpowerforall"><strong>The Smart Solar Box</strong></a> is designed so well that even the cloudiest of days provide enough power for you to use this box as your primary source of energy, as a generator, or as a backup in case of an emergency.</p> <p>So, do you continue to pay utterly ridiculous prices for unreliable electricity or do you take matters into your own hands and make your own? The choice is yours!</p

    Quasi-cyclic Generalized LDPC codes with low error floors

    No full text
    In this paper, a novel methodology for designing structured generalized LDPC (G-LDPC) codes is presented. The proposed design results in quasi-cyclic G-LDPC codes for which efficient encoding is feasible through shift-register-based circuits. The structure imposed on the bipartite graphs, together with the choice of simple component codes, leads to a class of codes suitable for fast iterative decoding. A pragmatic approach to the construction of G-LDPC codes is proposed. The approach is based on the substitution of check nodes in the protograph of a low-density parity-check code with stronger nodes based, for instance, on Hamming codes. Such a design approach, which we call LDPC code doping, leads to low-rate quasi-cyclic G-LDPC codes with excellent performance in both the error floor and waterfall regions on the additive white Gaussian noise channel

    Abstract: ‘National Socialist Black Metal’ (NSBM) emerged in the early 1990s as a subsidiary genre of the broader Black Metal movement. NSBM is distinguished by its thematic content, which promotes Aryan superiority and an anti-Capitalist stance. This paper explores the history of the early NSBM movement through an analysis of the bands Graveland (Poland) and Absurd (Germany), who have both played vital roles in the establishment of the NSBM genre. The author highlights the resilience of National Socialist ideology within music subcultures and concludes with observations about the diversification far-right extremism within Heavy Metal. </p
