Picking an LMS system is overwhelming. There are hundreds and hundreds of choices, starting at $29 a month and going up to $25,000 plus. Where do you start? Well, dollars and cents in your budget is a great place. Decide at the onset of your LMS shopping what you can afford for the setup of your system and the annual cost to maintain it. And yes, LMS systems do have ongoing costs. The second decision is what kind of course are you going to make, a video course or an interactive course. Interactive courses will be created in a course authoring tool like Articulate Storyline or Rise and are exported in a SCORM or 10KN file. These files are uploaded into your LMS system so you need a learning management system that accepts these interactive files. LMS systems have built-in authoring tools that allow you to design and host the course all in one place. The third decision is whether you want an LMS that is open source or closed source. Open source systems make the source code freely available to anyone to use, modify, and distribute. Open source LMS systems tend to be less expensive, more flexible and customizable, and have open development communities. On the downside, they can have security vulnerabilities and tend to require more technical expertise. Examples of open source LMS systems include Moodle, LearnDash for WordPress, Canvas, and Blackboard Learn. Closed source LMS systems are run with proprietary software that have restricted access to the underlying source code. Typically, you're not allowed to make modifications to those systems. Closed source LMS systems tend to be easier to set up and more secure than open source systems, but they are usually more expensive. As a user, you have less control over the development process and you'll have to wait for new features and updates. Now you have a working knowledge of the types of LMS systems there are to choose from. I'll be back with a list of key LMS features that you can use as you start to narrow your choices. Thanks for watching.


Hi everyone, Joe for jasmiescasebrakes.com coming at you with 2019-2020 Chronicles Basketball. Blaster break number 10 with four mixer spots being given away. What's the basketball mixer today? It's a 12 box multi-year basketball mixer with a LeBron stained glass and a Jimmy Butler. It's an appropriate time for that. That's pretty nice. So that's the giveaway there. So you can still buy spots straight up and I think we're probably gonna have to do a couple of these, maybe even a few of these little filler breaks here. So make sure you get into those when you see them. Alright, big thanks to these folks right here for getting into the action. Appreciate it. There are the teams right here and let's roll it and randomize it two and a six eight times for each list. So we're obviously gonna do the break itself first and then we'll do the re-randomizing at the end with a new dice roll. Two, three, four, five, six, seven and eighth and final time. After eight times we've got Ben all the way down to Richard. Now let's assign you a random team. Eight times for the teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eighth and final time. After eight times we've got Nets down to Rockets using a Serif font this month. Okay, so there's the first half of the list right here. Just a quick little blaster box where I'm not gonna read off all the teams but there's Brian and the Gris right there and there's Brian and the Pelicans right there too. So Brian T with the Gris, Brian C with the Pelicans. What other team should we highlight? Nancy with the Heat. That's pretty good too. Andrew you've got my Lakers. Could be some LeBrons in there. Anthony gets all of the Yannises. All right, so let's sort that and let's print and rip. They're racing in a rainstorm? NBC? Let's check that out for a second. Is that even safe? I've never seen it this crazy. The rain like this just changed to rain tires and you just go I guess. I think NASCAR said that they're gonna put a, they're doing some big changes here in California. Racing fans, they're making the track smaller and maybe a road course? Are they adding dirt tracks to the schedule next year too? I think they're adding a dirt track next year too. Let's flip back to that Tennessee Georgia game. All right, Colton, what's going on? How are you? Ooh, nice rookies and stars Zion. Kendrick Nunn, Deandre Hunter. All right, Pelicans. That's gonna be for Brian Crouch. There you go, Brian. Not too bad for a little blaster filler break. There he is once again right there. There you go. There's the official printout right here. Luka Donchich going to the Mavs, Andrew, and a pink Luka Donchich right there and John Moran and Tyler Hero. A lot of fun stuff out of this little blaster box here. Pink RJ Barrett, pink Steph Curry. I think those are exclusive to the set. LeBron James, John Morant, Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, another Luka, Hachimura, Tyler Hero, Jimmy Butler, and another Zion right there, Cam Reddish and a pink Jackson Hayes. Wow. All sorts of fun stuff. Thank you, Colton. You know, one round down, two more to go. Long way to go. Another Zion again for Brian, Tyler Hero, and the Heat playing some good basketball against by Lakers. It's definitely making a series of it. Not going down quietly. John Morant, that's for the Grizz. That's the other Brian. Brian T. Nice John Morant. There's LeBron James. Lakers don't lose two games in a row very often, so let's see how they come out tomorrow. There's pink Steph Curry that's exclusive to this blaster box set. Pink RJ Barrett, he certainly has a lot of upside, high ceiling. There's Tyler Hero again. There's the rookies and stars, John Morant. That's pretty great. That goes to Brian T. And there's the pink playbook, Luka Donchich. Nice. Nice little parallel there. All right. Nice blaster box, folks. Those are very nice blaster box. All right. Now it's going to be top four. All right. There's the next one up on the website right now. Here's, we're doing break 10. Top four on this list. Top four after, top four after eight, three and a five, eight times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eighth and final time. After eight, big thanks everybody for giving this a shot. I appreciate it from five down to 30. And the top four, congrats to you, Jason, Richard, Pat, and Brian. The four of you are in that basketball mixer. Congrats to you. We'll see you for that one. I think we have to do a few more of these filler breaks. So let's just get them knocked out, knock out the spots straight up, and next thing you know, we'll be breaking some basketball and giving away some great LeBron's and Jimmy Butler. So check it out on jaspyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.


Did your part today? A lot of other guys got involved. Michael over there, Taje, and that. It seemed like it was kind of a game where everybody got there. I definitely feel like it's a team win, not an individual win. Everybody did their job to help out each other. And we was just going from one catch to another, and one runs from another. 21-1 piece at the half, you guys, that's going three touchdowns in a second. What were you guys doing well there in the second half? I was kind of trying to slow the game down a little bit. I was scoring pretty fast, keeping up. So I sold it down a little bit, ran the ball a little bit with the play-action. What has been the key for you? Is that crossing around the slant of a play-action?  What's the key for you on that? Most of the time we get that call as man-to-man. So just beating our man. I mean, regardless of who we are, with me, Taje, Corey, Khalif, no matter. How are you guys at a lot of confidence that, I mean, is that something that really helps you carry him from play to play after you make him plays like that? Of course, of course. Whenever you get the ball in your hand, you've got a lot of confidence. It's like a thrill. So it's definitely with me. I'm trying to get my next catch after my first one. Taje, you guys have had a lot of long drives today, 91, 86, 89 yards. What's the key to extending those drives and getting points the way you did? Just converting on third down. Being in third in the manager.


Hi there and welcome to Little Garden on the Prairies. If this is your first time joining me on my channel, my name is Tracy and I am a small scale gardener living on the prairies in Saskatchewan Canada. So here on the prairies it is getting cold outside at night. We are having freezing temperatures and the outdoor gardening season has come to an end. But that doesn't mean that you can't still grow food all winter long and in my videos here for the next few months I'll be showing you how I grow food indoors using the cracky hydroponic method. So I have all sorts of different vegetables started here in my indoor growing space and in today's video we're gonna look specifically at my strawberries and peppers. I'm gonna show you how I've done some refreshing of the nutrients and treating some root rot with my strawberry plant here dealing with a bit of algae on some of my pepper seedlings and also give you a sneak preview of all the other things that I've got started here in my indoor garden and I've also just received a grow tent that I just got set up so I want to show you all the different vegetables that I want to try growing in there as well. So let's get started. Okay so check out this strawberry plant that I am growing hydroponically using the crack key method. This was a strawberry that I dug up from the garden this fall and I gave the roots a good washing. I set it up in a net cup with some nutrients and it is really taken off the roots are growing good. I'm starting to see a lot of blossoms all over the plant here. So I think it's time to give this a fresh batch of nutrients. I'm gonna show you how I'm gonna clean this container give the roots a cleaning and set it up with some fresh nutrients and hopefully see some strawberries soon. So these roots look fairly healthy they do have a bit of a brown tinge to them which sometimes is a sign of root rot and I'm not sure if it's just because these this plant was an outdoor plant growing in the dirt if that's why maybe I'm not seeing some really healthy white roots but I'm going to start off by giving these roots a little bath and some hydrogen peroxide. So I'm going to be using 3% hydrogen peroxide to give these roots a bit of a cleaning and disinfectant and help prevent any root rot in the future. So I've just poured a few tablespoons of peroxide into this dish and while I clean the container and refresh the nutrients I'm just going to set the roots gently into here and let them soak in the peroxide. So I'm going to be mixing up a 2 liter batch right into this container and I'm going to be using the Holland secret blend which is a three part formula for this and based on the measurements on the back I'm going to be using the amounts needed for plants that are going to be at the kind of the blooming stage so it's a little bit stronger formula than what these strawberries were originally in. So I'm just using the measurements on the back of the container making sure to stir in between each to blend it in really well. So I'm just going to remove the strawberry now from the hydrogen peroxide that it's been soaking in and give it a little rinse under the tap. Okay so we are ready to put the strawberry plant back into its container here. I'm just going to check the level of the water because you don't want to put the roots in too deep so I might have to remove some of the water out of here. So you want to make sure that some of the roots are in the solution but you also need air up here so that the plant can continue to breathe and develop some more air roots. So I'm going to take a little bit of this water out of the container so hopefully this plant is going to flourish and the nutrients that it's getting now will help it produce some fruit. For now we are just going to go put it back under the lights and I will show you the roots and see how they look after a few days. So I just want to do an update here on the strawberries about six days later since we changed out the solution in the water and give the roots a bit of a treatment with some peroxide. As you can see there's still lots of green healthy leaves. There's more blooming happening so that's a good sign. I am concerned though about the roots. They aren't looking very healthy. They kind of have that dark brown look that is usually a sign of root rot. But you know I can see the odd little white root coming through so maybe that's a good sign. We'll keep going here because like I say the plant looks really healthy and is shooting out some blossom. So I just wanted to show you the progress of some of my seedlings that I have started in Rockwall. These are my lettuces here and I got one tomato. They had some really good roots going. These ones I had sprouted under the grow lights from my arrow garden and they have some pretty good roots going here. So I just moved them into net cups so that they're kind of ready for before they get moved into their permanent containers. But I wanted to show you something here that I was just concerned about because these are my peppers. As you can see the Rockwall has got lots of green algae on it compared to this. These lettuces and tomatoes that do not. So I was trying to figure out why these got so green and I think the reason is I was not only just keeping these wet with plain water but I was also giving them the odd dose of some of my hydroponic solution water that has the nutrients in it just because I thought maybe it would just give it a little extra boost. And I think that nutrient water being exposed to air the LJ grows a little bit faster. So that's my conclusion as to why this is happening. So I think it's time to get these put into their net cups. I'm going to try and block out the Rockwall so that the algae will stop growing. I think that's just something these plants are competing with now is this algae that's forming on the Rockwall. And I'm not seeing you know a lot of healthy roots popping out yet. So I think before these start to weaken and die I'm going to try and save them by putting them in some net cups with some clay balls around them, block out the light, keep watering them with just plain water and they should be ready to go into their containers in the next week or two. Okay so I'm going to be using three inch net cups for my peppers and they will be going into a folders container like this. So I have these ready but for now I'm just going to get the peppers into each of these Rockwall containers and put some clay balls around them. So this is the the most healthiest looking one I think of my peppers. This is called the candy cane. It's a sweet pepper but as you can see there's lots of green algae and I'm not seeing any roots coming out yet which kind of concerns me because they should be shooting out a lot of roots by now. So I'll just put some clay balls in here, kind of give it a little bit of elevation, end up with a lot of clay balls on the floor down here. Okay so you can see there now that I've kind of covered up pretty much all the Rockwall so that there's not much light getting to it and the plant is still sticking out the top here. So I will be just keeping it in a container with a little bit of water at the bottom and still keeping it moist from the top and hopefully this will start shooting out some more roots in the next couple weeks. Okay so have all the peppers now in a container here with a little bit of water on the bottom and I will continue to keep them moistened from the top with a spray bottle here with just plain water. No more hydroponic nutrients for these plants right now and we'll check back in a few days and see if that's helped with their growth. As you can see here I've got some new stuff started. I have more lettuces growing here, some arugula, spinach and kale and I've also started some herbs here. I got oregano basil and some thyme. Okay so we will check back in a few days. I'll show you how everything's progressing. So here is the Mars Hydro grow tent that I've just received and got set up this week. It is a three by three size tent and the light that comes with this was a Mars Hydro T2000. I ordered the two together directly from the Mars Hydro website here in Canada and received it within less than a week. The cost to me for the two items together was $334 and that included shipping and taxes. So a bit of an investment but I think that it is going to give me a lot of fruit and vegetables over the next few years. So excited to get something growing in here this weekend. So it has been about 11 days now since we gave the strawberry a little refresh and treatment. It's still got a lot of green, lively looking leaves on it but I noticed a lot of the foliage that was on here. When we did the treatment it seems to have died off and I'm not seeing a whole lot of new root action right now but you know the plant's still alive. It's still shooting out blooms so I'll just keep you updated and let you know how the progress is going with my hydroponics strawberry plant. And here are my peppers five days after I've planted them up here in the net cups. They seem to be doing okay. Still pretty slow growth I'm seeing but they are alive. They're starting to shoot out more leaves looking for some signs of roots coming out the sides. Haven't seen any of those yet. So we'll just keep them under the lights here and keep them moist and hopefully they'll be ready to pot up in a couple more weeks. So stay tuned for that video. So I hope you enjoyed watching this video and found it informative. I would love if you'd continue to follow along with me on my channel to see how I grow food indoors. Hopefully you will be giving it a try as well. There's going to be some lettuce coming here soon. We've got lots of herbs coming. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, onions. Pretty much everything you can imagine growing indoors here so that you can have fresh salads, fresh veggies all winter long. So thank you for watching and we'll see you on the next video.


Hello, and welcome to a screencast today about absolute convergence. All right, today we're asking the question, does the series converge absolutely, not just converge, converge absolutely. So our series is n goes from 1 to infinity of negative 1 to the n plus 1 all over n squared. Okay, now by the alternating series test, because this thing's definitely going to be alternating with this negative 1 to the n plus 1, we do know that it converges, okay, so that's nice. But our question is, does it converge absolutely? So that's where we need to look at the series of the absolute value of this stuff. So let's look at n goes from 1 to infinity, and then we want the absolute value of negative 1 to the n plus 1 all over n squared. Okay, so what's this absolute value going to do for us? Well, it takes anything that's negative and changes it to positive. So then this numerator is going to be alternating between negative 1 and positive 1. So these absolute values are just going to make it just a strict positive 1. So I've now got this series n goes from 1 to infinity of 1 over just n squared. Okay, well that's a p-series if you remember what that is. So p is 2, this thing's obviously going to converge. Otherwise you can do an integral test on this one, or you know, there's probably lots of other things too. But we know that this series converges. So because that's the same thing as the absolute value of our original series, that means our series negative 1 to the n plus 1 all over n squared converges absolutely. And there we go. Okay, so basically absolute convergence, it gives us a little bit stronger of a case of convergence, and then all we really have to do then is just test the absolute value of your function. So it's really not much more to test for this stuff, but like I said it gives you a much stronger case of convergence. Alright, thank you for watching.


Hello everybody, E here. E here. Welcome back to another book review. Today we're talking about a book that I buddy read with my buddy Brad Proctor. I'll leave his channel down there in the doobly-doo. If his review is up already, I will link you to that review. For today we're talking about The Boatman's Daughter by Andrew Davidson. Andy Davidson. I apologize, it's Andy Davidson. Um, real quick story right off the bat. I was watching Booktube Goddess doing her, uh, The Shelveter Shove It, which is my favorite, my favorite show on her channel. But this, this one popped up in her, uh, these are, she was going through trying to pick the books that she was going to read that month. And she ripped this cover apart. I love the cover and the way it ties into the story makes me love it even more. Um, but I love the, the creature with the tree coming out of it. Oh, the man. I guess the, I don't want to spoil anything, but, um, and then the way this comes around, like a fishing hook. I love it. There's so much subtext just in this. And then there's snake skin. It feels and looks like snake skin. I know you guys probably can't see it very well, but yeah, it looks and feels like snake skin. Um, awesome design. I think, sorry, sorry Goddess. Sorry. Anyways, um, the writing in this is absolutely fantastic. Um, in fact, Goddess, if you're watching this, uh, you always talk about how, uh, you like a strong narrative voice, a strong, you know, authorial voice, this has it. Uh, the writing in here is absolutely gorgeous. It is pitch perfect. The atmosphere also is spot on because it happens in a swamp area. Um, the characters are amazing. Uh, that there's one character that I liked more than anybody else. If I'm honest, and that was John Avery. He was my favorite character in the book. Um, the boy was another favorite of mine. Uh, Little Fish is his name. And then there's the, uh, the main character and then there's the sheriff and all that stuff. But my two favorite characters were Little Fish and John Avery. Those two just completely, because they were so different. I like reading stories about either characters with like, uh, uh, afflictions or characters that maybe got a shorthand in life or any number of things. And this book deals with two characters that I guess you want to call them outcasts, kind of that kind of thing. I don't want to call them freaks because, you know, of course that's not PC, but the kind of characters that you might see in an old, you know, in a freak show. Um, and I like reading about those type of people because I've always felt like an outsider myself. That's probably another reason why I like stories about carnivals and carnies and things like that. I've always felt like an outsider and, you know, there's a bit of solidarity there. Um, so with this one, I want to stress this as much as possible. This book is beautifully, beautifully written.  I don't know. Um, but we, we read it very, very slowly and then I disappeared for four weeks. Um, and I came back and I ended up finishing up the last 100 pages. But man, this was, this was so good. I wish I could do it justice with this review, but come for the writing, stay for the quirky characters and the plot. The last 200 pages of this book does not stop. Um, for it to be as literary as it is, um, when you're reading the first half of the book, it's like the, the language is beautiful, but then the carnage starts happening and it is non-stop action until the end. Fantastic. Uh, there are some, uh, more surreal aspects to the book also that I really, really loved. Um, but if you know me, it's all about the characters and the writing man and this easy five stars, I would say it's in my top five books of the year. Um, I don't know. Let's see what my mid-year wrap up looks like. Let me see what the end of the year looks like because there's some great stuff coming. So yeah, this is The Boatman's Daughter by Andy, uh, Davidson. I liked it, gave it five stars. If you've read it, let me know, uh, if you liked it or if you disliked it, especially if you disliked it down there in the doobly-doo. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U, this has been another book review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye!
