200 universities just launched 560 free online courses. Here’s the full list. If you haven’t heard, universities around the world offering their courses online for free (or at-least partially free). These courses are collectively called as MOOCS or Massive Open Online Courses. In the past six years or so, close to 800 universities have created more than 8,000 of these MOOCs.

And I’ve been keeping track of these MOOCs the entire time over at Class Central, ever since they rose to prominence. In the past three month alone, more than 200 universities have announced 560 such free online courses. I’ve compiled this list below and categorized the courses into the following subjects: Computer Science, Mathematics, Programming, Data Science, Humanities, Social Sciences, Education & Teaching, Health & Medicine, Business, Personal Development, Engineering, Art & Design, and finally Science.

“lollipop” is the longest word typed with your right hand. The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. “Dreamt” is the only English word that ends in the letters “mt”. The sentence: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” uses every letter of the alphabet. The words ‘racecar,’ ‘kayak’ and ‘level’ are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes).

There are only four words in the English language which end in “dous”: tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: “abstemious” and “facetious.” A “jiffy” is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

How to Make a Kiln - Build your own Kiln for Pottery

A small homemade kiln can be cheap and easy to build - a great solution for homeschooling pottery classes. Sponsored Links You will need : An old oil drum or metal dustbin with lid.Ceramic fibre blanket (such as Kaowool)Refractory CementA burner from a hardware store (the sort used for soldering).A kiln shelf that will fit inside.A propane gas bottle. The shelf, cement and fibre can be bought from a pottery supplies store. If you are using an oil drum then you need to cut a lid in the top. Then cut and glue the fibre to the inside of the container. The best video I have found that explains this process is this one from Simon of Sleachpots Simon says you should get about 20 firings from the gas bottle depending on the duration and number of pots you are firing.
