  • Better Living Through Technology

    The computer age has generated strong advancement for many field of work. Along with leading to a stronger global economy it has also started a sense of global academia. Online college courses have not only gained popularity over the past decade, but they have also increased in the subjects and degrees that are offered. Many brick and mortar universities now include an internet based component, whether this is a full four year or graduate level curriculum, or part of a campus based program.
    While the benefit of flexibility is often seen as one of the major factors in considering online college degrees, a number of other aspects also make this path attractive to potential students. This style of learning cuts out the cost of campus living, while still opening the door to many established schools. There is no relocation that is involved, and no need to change employment while completing a degree. This has also helped to make university graduation a stronger possibility for a larger number of candidates.
    Connecting With People
    Perhaps the most attractive aspect of this route of study is truly resources. This includes not only texts and library articles but also the human component. While online colleges do give students a vast amount of knowledge at the tips of their fingers, these institutes also give individuals the chance to connect and grow with others from many walks of life. Interactions not only help to heighten the learning experience, but can also facilitate decision making in regards to life paths.
    By enabling many more possible graduates to share with one another along the way, experiential learning processes promote greater knowledge retention and higher critical thinking skills. People are positively challenged to grow interpersonal skills and intrapersonal examination, and these are highly regarded traits for any line of employment. Further sets that become more practiced and refined include technological literacy, research abilities, and writing and communication clarity.

    The choice of earning an online college degree is worth more than the eventual diploma. This classroom setting is geared towards modern trends in business and social relations. This prepares students for tasks that are required in any career.

  • Funding A Future

    When considering to seek a higher education or even return to college there are many considerations to take into account. While degree programs, accessibility, and convenience are all valid choices when searching for a university, financial concerns are also a part of this equation. Sadly, many students to be end up opting for an institution that is not always their first choice, simply because it is the affordable solution.
    Financial aid and FAFSA loans are one way to attend the ideal educational program, but these paths do require that the money is paid back starting six months after graduation. In some cases, this can become a fairly large debt, and any amount that helps to reduce this can lead to greater overall success for graduates. Scholarship money can be an ideal solution, as it is essentially a gift grant that reduces tuition fees for the student.
    Many Sources
    Scholarships may be offered by a variety of organizations. This will sometimes include the academic institution that is being attended, but can also come from outside sources. For many students, the task of locating these sources may seem overwhelming, and that is one of the main reasons that people do not apply. However, a vast majority of individuals can qualify for scholarships that may offer several thousand dollars to cover a semester, to amounts that can cover tuition for a full year.
    Sorting through the different funds that are available and how to acquire them can become a streamlined process. Universities will frequently have online resources that allow students to peruse grants that are attainable internally and from outside organizations. Other choices include online databases that can match individuals with possible awards, and this is often the most efficient way of locating and qualifying for the money.
    Discovering Strengths
    While scholarships are certainly beneficial in the practical sense of reducing overall costs, they also play an important part in academic development. Many of these awards will include essays and activities within the application process. This can help people discover greater interests in their field of study and also develop better skills for their college career. By cultivating these talents, the organizations that supply the awards are also grooming better students and future leaders.
    Applying for a scholarship can be as much of an educational experience as going to college. The synergy of this process and the academic path results in benefits for students and for institutions. Furthermore, attendees are also enabled to truly pursue their dreams, both in the halls of learning and into their careers.

  • Math.Net Numerics

    I’ve been a fan of doing numerical computation on the.NET platform for a very long time. This interest landed me an internship at Microsoft Research with Don Syme’s team in 2007 where we investigated F# suitability for scientific computing. After the internship, I joined the open source community helping out with writing a kick-ass numerical library for the.NET platform.

    Today, I am quite proud to announce that we are releasing the final beta of our open source project: Math.Net Numerics. Moreover, with this announcement, we are also kicking off a competition to find the fastest implementation of matrix multiplication in purely managed code. The winner of this competition will receive 1500$ and we will integrate his code into our open source codebase. I’m excited to see some creative coding in the next few weeks!

    SSCE GRADUATE JOB AT THE US EMBASSY

    A diplomatic mission is a group of people from one state or an international inter-governmental organization (such as the United Nations) present in another state to represent the sending state/organization officially in the receiving state.
    In practice, a diplomatic mission usually denotes the resident mission, namely the office of a country's diplomatic representatives in the capital city of another country. As well as being a diplomatic mission to the country in which it is situated, it may also be a non-resident permanent mission to one or more other countries. There are thus resident and non-resident embassies.
