Feil, Ed.D. Assistant Editor Tammy Feil, Ed.D. When the coronavirus hit our shores no one imagined the effect it would have on our society, let alone our educational system. Flu season came and went every Book Editor year and it was no big deal, so why should this be any different? The number of Enrico Pelazzo online forensic experiences has been growing for years, and their sophistication and level of engagement has been climbing, but not to the point where any could Science Editor substitute for hands-on, in person labs. I mean, it’s not like our schools are going to T. Ann Kosloski close and instruction would move online, right? Fast forward to March, 2020 when everything changed. Suddenly, we were all Copy Editor online and scrambling to finish the school year in some sort of coherent fashion. Tammy Feil Some districts had resources in place so the transition was smooth, albeit awkward. Contributing Editor Other districts stumbled forward like a tourist wearing scuba fins.And most of the Jeanette Hencken others were somewhere in between. However, nearly all teachers were able to finish the school year in a reasonably orderly fashion because of the relationships already Layout/Graphic Design in place with their students. Everyone breathed a deep sigh relief when the school Mark Feil year finally, officially ended. But you already know this. Circulation What you don’t know is how you’re going to teach forensics in the fall. Certain Don Penglioni topics and labs will have to be simplified or skipped because students at home don’t have the resources they need to get the full experience. There are videos to Editorial Assistant show viewers how to roll a fingerprint, but I can’t imagine many households with Sandy Weiss microscopes, Superglue fuming hoods, or ninhydrin. Plus, you’re going to have to find new ways to build relationships with students you’ve never met. In many ways this is going to be the hardest part about starting the next school year. Without one to one interactions between students and teachers, Editorial Advisory Board and students and students the classroom dynamic is going to be very different from anything you can imagine. For example you won’t be able to assign the student a role in a small team that investigates the crime scene. Lt. John R. Evans Fortunately, we have each other.

  • Firearms & Tool Marks Comparison Microscope
    Firearms & Tool Marks Comparison Microscope LCF3 The LCF3 Firearms & Tool Marks Comparison Microscope is a robust and powerful system offering outstanding performance, ergonomic comfort, and incredible versatility. Leeds has designed the system incorporating feedback from the first hand experience of forensic examiners. PERFORMANCE • The LCF3 is built with world-class Olympus apochromatically cor- rected optics, providing crisp, aberration-free, high-resolution images. The macro bodies, with a 16:1 zoom ratio and built-in aperture diaphragms, provide the examiner with 14 matched mag- nification positions to choose from. The optics are parcentric and parfocal throughout the zoom range. Leeds’ technicians align all 14 of the click stop settings to assure that the magnification of the right and left zoom bodies are matched. This matching is complet- ed using N.I.S.T. (National Institute of Standards and Technology) traceable standards and includes an ISO 17025 accredited Certificate of Calibration with each LCF3. Optional objectives are available to provide alternate magnification ranges and working distances for the examiners. • Low profile stages help maintain an ergonomic viewing position and places the X and Y controls near the coarse and fine focus knobs. These mechanical stages and focus units are positioned to minimize repetitive hand-over-wrist motions. The stage mounts are placed on adjustable posts, allowing the stages to be remove from the work surface, to accommodate large samples. • The LCF3 optical bridge produces an erect, un-reversed image with a large 22mm field of view. Compared images can be viewed as 100% right, 100% left, and divided or overlapped into any ratio.

  • An Access-Dictionary of Internationalist High Tech Latinate English
    An Access-Dictionary of Internationalist High Tech Latinate English Excerpted from Word Power, Public Speaking Confidence, and Dictionary-Based Learning, Copyright © 2007 by Robert Oliphant, columnist, Education News Author of The Latin-Old English Glossary in British Museum MS 3376 (Mouton, 1966) and A Piano for Mrs. Cimino (Prentice Hall, 1980) INTRODUCTION Strictly speaking, this is simply a list of technical terms: 30,680 of them presented in an alphabetical sequence of 52 professional subject fields ranging from Aeronautics to Zoology. Practically considered, though, every item on the list can be quickly accessed in the Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (RHU), updated second edition of 2007, or in its CD – ROM WordGenius® version. So what’s here is actually an in-depth learning tool for mastering the basic vocabularies of what today can fairly be called American-Pronunciation Internationalist High Tech Latinate English. Dictionary authority. This list, by virtue of its dictionary link, has far more authority than a conventional professional-subject glossary, even the one offered online by the University of Maryland Medical Center. American dictionaries, after all, have always assigned their technical terms to professional experts in specific fields, identified those experts in print, and in effect held them responsible for the accuracy and comprehensiveness of each entry. Even more important, the entries themselves offer learners a complete sketch of each target word (headword). Memorization. For professionals, memorization is a basic career requirement. Any physician will tell you how much of it is called for in medical school and how hard it is, thanks to thousands of strange, exotic shapes like <myocardium> that have to be taken apart in the mind and reassembled like pieces of an unpronounceable jigsaw puzzle.
