Scientific Speed Reading: How to Read 300% Faster in 20 Minutes (Photo: Dustin Diaz) How much more could you get done if you completed all of your required reading in 1/3 or 1/5 the time? Increasing reading speed is a process of controlling fine motor movement—period. This post is a condensed overview of principles I taught to undergraduates at Princeton University in 1998 at a seminar called the “PX Project.” I have never seen the method fail. The PX Project The PX Project, a single 3-hour cognitive experiment, produced an average increase in reading speed of 386%. It was tested with speakers of five languages, and even dyslexics were conditioned to read technical material at more than 3,000 words-per-minute (wpm), or 10 pages per minute. If you understand several basic principles of the human visual system, you can eliminate inefficiencies and increase speed while improving retention. First, several definitions and distinctions specific to the reading process: You do not read in a straight line, but rather in a sequence of saccadic movements (jumps).
A Guide to Designing and Building RESTful Web Services with WCF 3.5 Aaron Skonnard, Pluralsight October 2008 Overview From the point of view of REST, a “real” Web service is a service designed to embrace the “Web” from the ground up. The Web has become the most successful distributed computing platform ever developed, thanks to years of investment and widespread usage. REST defines an architectural style based on a set of constraints for building things the “Web” way. Before immersing ourselves in the world of REST, we should review the essence of the Web platform as we know it today. Resource-Oriented Architecture On the Web, every resource is given a unique identifier, also known as a universal resource identifier (URI). Since a given URI uniquely identifies a resource, it can be saved for future use and shared with others. Now, the reason it’s called the “Web” is because resources can contain hyperlinks to other resources, thereby creating a Web of resources.

Tumblr ZAP Reader LINQ Study Material: LINQ-Hour 2 (LINQ to SQL) Written By:-Isha Malhotra(malhotra.isha3388@gmail.com) if you find this article useful then leave your comment LINQ to SQL SQL is a structured Query Language. When we need to interact with database using LINQ then we mapped our relational database to object oriented language using LINQ to SQL. To interact with database we use Datacontext class which is in System.Data.LINQ. this class contains the constructor in which we have to pass the connection string. Steps to work with LINQ to SQL Step 1:- Add LINQ to SQL Class by using Add New Item. Figure 1 Step 2:- Now add class by using Add New Item. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Data.Linq.Mapping; [Table(Name="prod_rep")] public class Class1 [Column] public int prod_year; public string dept; public int no_of_prod; Prod_rep is table name in the database and others are columns. Step 3:- Now create the object of DataContext class and pass the connection string in the constructor. Figure 2
MyLifeIsAverage - Life is pretty normal today How to Improve Your Reading Speed Article - GradSchools by Dr. M. Dennis Jackson, author: A Programmed Study of Accelerated Reading SkillsPublished by R.A.P.I.D., Inc., 1975 Do you want to receive tips on how to increase the speed in which you read without decreasing the amount of information you absorb? In recent decades the Internet has overwhelmed all of us with information we must somehow assimilate quickly, and there has been no end to the making of books, magazines or newspapers. Those of you in graduate school likely feel that you have more than the average number of "words" to assimilate and understand in order to pass your grad courses. Ads for commercial speed-reading companies often claim that their software will help you read at phenomenal new speeds. I offer here are a few realistic tips that could help you double or triple your reading speed, and that could be a significant help as you tackle the grinding assignments in your grad courses. 10-Minute Speed Drills Your Words-Per-Minute count would thus be 195.
Just Over the Horizon: Bloodless Glucometers - A Unique Health Blog with Unique Contents - Health Blog Is it possible to check your blood sugar without a finger prick? Believe it or not, it might be possible in the not-so-distant future. Right now, there are several companies testing bloodless glucometers. Grove Instruments It seems incredible that you could use a bloodless glucometer to monitor your blood sugar, but that’s exactly what Grove Instruments promises. The product doesn’t have any accessories, and it’s battery operated like a traditional meter. How does it fare on accuracy?
