Description
In this video game character creation course you will learn everything you need to create stylized characters with Blender.During this course you will learn how to create PBR characters fully optimized for video games, we will apply different techniques depending on the needs of our project.We will follow the following workflow:1. Blocking: we will make the model with very basic geometries to have a general silhouette of our character with its respective accessories.2. High poly: We will detail completely the high poly model to achieve a clean surface and a high level of detail.3. Low poly: we will make an optimized low poly version using retopology and other optimization methods.4. UVs and bakes: We will do the UV unwrap and extract all the details with the map baking.5. Texturing: We will do the material texturing process in Blender using the node editor.6. Rig and Presentation: Finally we will rig our character to be able to pose it and make the final presentation.This course is aimed for intermediate users who want to deepen in the creation of characters, and has more than 25 hours of content, it is recommended that you already have basic knowledge of Blender but if you have little experience and want to take the challenge you are equally welcome, anyway I will provide you with extra material with all the basics.

You may be familiar with the Christian saints St. Peter, to whom Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom in the Bible; St. Joan of Arc, who led France to victory in the Hundred Years War; and St. Thomas Aquinas, whose philosophy around faith and reason, the existence of God, and the nature of the soul is embedded deeply in Church theology today
You may be familiar with the Christian saints St. Peter, to whom Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom in the Bible; St. Joan of Arc, who led France to victory in the Hundred Years War; and St. Thomas Aquinas, whose philosophy around faith and reason, the existence of God, and the nature of the soul is embedded deeply in Church theology today. There are a host of lesser-known saints, who've been immortalized for the miracles attributed to them and the struggles they endured, including Kateri Tekakwitha, Absalom Jones, Josephine Butler, and many others.
Have you ever wondered who these people were who were named as saints? Or how everyday people around the world have been canonized to sainthood? Who were they, what did they do, and why do they matter for Christianity today? Now, you have the opportunity to unpack these questions with The Surprising Lives of Christian Saints. Over the course of 24 in-depth lectures, Professor Emily Graham, an Associate Professor of History at Oklahoma State University, surveys the global history of Christian sainthood.
As you'll discover, the stories of Christian saints are not just fascinating, but they're also an integral part of Christian history. Through their lives, in particular moments of time, you can trace the historical context that shaped the Church over two millennia, meeting such figures as
Mary Magdalen, an early saint who's been interpreted and reinterpreted countless times over the years;
Perpetua and Felicity, mothers and martyrs in fourth-century Carthage;
Francis of Assisi, a homeless veteran known for ministering to the poor;
Elizabeth Ann Seton, an American convert, founder, and struggling mother; and
Andrei Rublev, an icon painter whose striking artwork married Byzantine and Russian influence.
What these saints have in common is that they were ordinary people who did extraordinary things, from negotiating political strife to championing the poor and the dispossessed. Filled with illuminating stories and a cast of unforgettable figures, The Surprising Lives of Christian Saints takes you on an enlightening journey through time, revealing the profound lives of individuals who've left an indelible mark on our world.
Embark on a Historical Tour
As Professor Graham takes you through the biographies of myriad saints, she also gives you a broader understanding of the historical and cultural context of the times in which these saints lived. She has carefully chosen to focus on saints whose lives are interesting in their own right, but who also reveal something about the history of the Church or civilization around the world.
Take, for instance, the life of Kateri Tekakwitha, a Mohawk native in what is now upstate New York. She is remembered today for her journey to join a new faith community led by Jesuit missionaries, and for her asceticism. A complicated figure who died young, Tekakwitha's life offers insights into the colonization of America.
Another powerful figure is Absalom Jones, a freed slave living in Philadelphia in the 19th-century. Jones was a venerated abolitionist, the first African American to be ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church, and a founder of one of first Black churches in the United States. His story offers a significant development in the Episcopal Church, but it's also inextricably linked to the history of America in the years before the Civil War.
Across the Atlantic, Josephine Butler's story also offers insights into the intersection of religious and political history. A Victorian feminist, Butler was a passionate advocate for women's rights in a society that provided little opportunity for women. Professor Graham walks you through Butler's politically charged, often sensational life.
Discover the Human behind the Halo
The word "saint" likely conjures up the image of an innocent do-gooder or an impossibly kind soul who smiles even under great persecution. While every saint you meet in this course certainly has done something "above and beyond," Professor Graham walks you through historical evidence to reveal the human behind the legend.
The lives of these saints represent an all too human experience. Consider Margaret of Cortona, a rebellious teenager who ran away to live with her wealthy boyfriend. But when her lover died, her fairytale existence came to an end, and she found herself to be a homeless single mother. You'll examine how she reinvented herself as a penitent and ultimately received holy visions from God.
?scar Romero is perhaps best remembered for his dramatic assassination in 1980. His life of political struggle is quite understandable. You'll watch, for instance, as his family mortgages the farm during the Great Depression and he has to work his way into the seminary. The poverty and Cold War interventions in El Salvador inspired him to advocate for the rural poor, which ended up putting his name on government hit lists.
Margaret, ?scar, and the other saints you will study are complex figures. Beyond the virtue of loving one's neighbor, they faced flesh-and-blood challenges and lived "in the arena" of life. They spoke truth to power, fought for justice, and shined the light of salvation in what often were shadowy corners of the world.
Intellectually Fascinating, Spiritually Rewarding
Throughout this course, Professor Graham steps back to survey the bigger picture and asks: How does a person become canonized? From the early cults and legends of saints shrouded by the passage of time to the rigorous investigations of miracles in the 20th century, you'll see how Christianity has evolved over the centuries.
Additionally, you'll see how interpretations of people and events change as each new generation comes to its own understanding of Christianity and world history. Mary Magdalen offers an excellent case study for interpretation. On one hand, we have the figure presented to us in the Gospels (the biblical Magdalen), but medieval Europeans and then Reformation-era Protestants had radically different understandings of her. Which understanding is correct? And what does the historical evidence tell us?
The issue of interpretation is the most human of challenges. How are you meant to understand yourself? Your history? Or is it histories? Whether you're a history enthusiast, a devout Christian, or someone curious about sainthood, The Surprising Lives of Christian Saints is an extraordinary examination of the forces that have shaped our beliefs and our world.
What Will You Learn?
Explore the history of Christianity through its most venerated figures
Delve into the powerful stories of saints from Mary Magdalen to ?scar Romero
Consider how saints are made-and how different denominations view these saints
Reflect on the nature of the Christian Church throughout a changing world

Description
This course is All Things Spring!Do you wish to master Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3? Then this is the course for you. This course is for developers with no previous Spring Framework or Spring Boot experience. You will master developing RESTful APIs with Spring Framework. Spring has three different options of creating RESTFul APIs: Spring MVC, Spring WebFlux, and Spring WebFlux.fn. You will see how to use each, and how to secure each using OAuth 2.0 with JWT. Also covered in the course are popular persistence technologies. You will learn to use Spring Data JPA with Hibernate, Spring Data MongoDB, and Reactive with Spring R2DBC.All examples in the course use Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.3.0.Inside this course, you will learn about:Build a Spring Boot Web AppUse Spring for Dependency InjectionCreate RESTful Web Services with Spring MVCCreate RESTful Web Services with Spring WebfluxCreate RESTful Web Services with Spring Webflux.fnLearn Best Practices using Project Lombok with SpringCreate MapStruct Mappers as Spring ComponentsSpring MockMVC with Mockito and JUnit 5Spring Data JPASpring Data MongoDBSpring Data R2DBC (Reactive)Spring RestTemplateSpring RestClientSpring WebClientSpring WebTestClientSpring Security HTTP Basic Authentication Spring Security OAuth2 Authentication w/ JWTSpring Authorization ServerSpring WebMVC OAuth2 Resource Server Spring WebFlux OAuth2 Resource ServerSpring Cloud GatewaySpring Boot ActuatorSpring AISpring Caching Spring Boot Maven PluginSpring Boot Gradle PluginUse Java Bean Validation with SpringSpring Boot Auto-Configuration with MySQLUse Spring Boot and Flyway for Database Migrations Hibernate Database Relationship Mapping with Spring Data JPABuild Docker Images using Spring BootRun Spring Boot Applications in Docker ContainersUse Docker Compose to run Spring Boot ApplicationsDeploy Spring Boot Applications to KubernetesSpring AI - Learn to use OpenAI with Spring!This is the first major Spring course to include a section on Spring AI. You will learn how to leverage OpenAI's ChatGPT API using Spring AI.Course UpdatesApril 2024 - Introduction to Spring AI added to CourseMay 2024 - Course Updated to Java 21 and Spring Boot version 3.3.0May 2024 - Spring RestClient - NEW to Spring Framework 6.1June 2024 - Using Spring Boot with Docker, Docker Compose and Kubernetes Spring CoreAt the core of the Spring Framework is the Spring IoC Container. Inversion of Control is a design pattern where control is inverted compared to procedural programming. In procedural programming, the software calls reusable components to complete tasks. In contrast, with IoC it is the framework which calls the reusable libraries. Development with IoC becomes very efficient since the focus is more on the custom business logic and common logic is left to the framework to perform.Spring MVCSpringMVC is Spring Framework's original web application framework. Spring MVC implements the model-view-controller design pattern, where a model (data) is shared with with a controller which presents the data to the end user in the view (HTML, JSON, XML, etc). In this course you will learn how to develop RESTful APIs using Spring MVC. Spring WebfluxSpring Webflux was introduced to the Spring Framework in version 5. Spring Webflux is a reactive web application framework using non-blocking Java components for building efficient and scalable web applications. Like Spring MVC, Spring Webflux also implements the model-view-controller design pattern. Spring Webflux closely follows the familiar syntax of Spring MVC. In this course you will learn to use Spring Webflux to create modern RESTful APIs.Spring Webflux.fnSpring Webflux.fn was also introduced in Spring Framework version 5. Spring Webflux.fn follows a functional programming paradigm. Through the use of functional programming, you can rapidly develop API endpoints. In this course you will learn how to use the functional programming paradigm of Spring Webflux.fn to develop RESTful APIs.Spring DataSpring Data is a family of Spring Framework projects for persistence operations to SQL and NoSQL databases. The Spring Data projects implement the easy to use Repository Pattern to persist objects to the database. In this course you will see how to use Spring Data JPA for persistence with SQL databases, how to use Spring Data Mongo for persistence to the NoSQL Mongo Database, and how to use Spring Data R2DBC for reactive/non-blocking SQL database persistence. Spring SecuritySpring Security is commonly used to secure Spring Framework applications. You will see how simple it is to use Spring Security for HTTP Basic authentication. You will also learn how to use Spring Security with OAuth 2.0 authentication. Spring Authorization Server is a recent addition to the Spring Framework family of projects. Spring Authorization server is a lightweight alternative to other identity providers, such as Keycloak. You will learn to implement the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow to obtain a JWT authorization token from the Spring Authorization Server and how to configure RESTful APIs in Spring MVC, Spring Webflux, and Spring Webflux.fn as OAuth 2 Resource Servers.Spring Rest ClientsSpring Framework 6 now has 3 different rest clients which may be used to interact with RESTful APIs. Spring RestTemplate was originally was introduced in Spring Framework version 3. You will learn to use Spring RestTemplate to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and interact with RESTful APIs. Spring WebClient was introduced in Spring Framework version 5. Spring WebClient is a reactive/non-blocking rest client. Like Spring Webflux.fn, Spring WebClient uses an efficient fluent API. In this course you will learn to use Spring WebClient to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and interact with RESTful APIs. Spring RestClient is the latest Rest Client for the Spring Framework. Spring RestClient was introduced to the Spring Framework with Spring Framework 6.1 in November of 2023. Spring RestClient uses the same synchronous libraries as Spring RestTemplate. But Spring RestClient uses the same functional API as Spring WebClient. You will learn to use Spring RestClient to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and interact with RESTful APIs.Spring BootSpring Boot was added to the Spring Framework family of projects in 2014. Spring Boot brings sensible 'convention over configuration' to the Spring Framework. Spring Boot helps minimize configuration tasks by providing an opinionated configuration through the use of Spring Boot starters. For many 3rd party libraries, Spring Boot will automatically provide sensible defaults and configuration of components. Spring Boot also provides production-ready features such as metrics, health checks and externalized configuration.Docker with Spring BootA very common way to deploy Spring Boot applications is to use Docker containers. You will see how easy it is to use the Spring Boot Maven plugin to generate a Docker image for your application. Once the image is created, you can run the image in a Docker container. You will learn the Docker commands to start 5 different Spring Boot applications. Docker Compose with Spring BootDocker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications. You will learn how to start the 5 Spring Boot Applications you build in this course, plus how to run MySQL and Mongo DB inside of a Docker network. Spring Cloud Gateway is used to control ingress to the RESTful Spring Boot services running in side the Docker network.Kubernetes with Spring BootKubernetes is a popular container orchestration platform. Originally developed by Google, Kubernetes is being adopted by companies all over the world. Using the same applications you learned to deploy with Docker and Docker Compose, you will learn how to deploy them in a Kubernetes context.

Mathematics is filled with beautiful theorems that are as breathtaking as the most celebrated works of art, literature, or music
Mathematics is filled with beautiful theorems that are as breathtaking as the most celebrated works of art, literature, or music. They are the Mona Lisas, Hamlets, and Fifth Symphonys of the field-landmark achievements that repay endless study and that are the work of geniuses as fascinating as Leonardo, Shakespeare, and Beethoven. Here is a sample
Pythagorean theorem: Although he didn't discover the Pythagorean theorem about a remarkable property of right triangles, the Greek mathematician Euclid devised an ingenious proof that is a mathematical masterpiece. Plus, it's beautiful to look at!
Area of a circle: The formula for the area of a circle, A = π r2, was deduced in a marvelous chain of reasoning by the Greek thinker Archimedes. His argument relied on the clever tactic of proof by contradiction not once, but twice.
Basel problem: The Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler won his reputation in the early 1700s by evaluating an infinite series that had stumped the best mathematical minds for a generation. The solution was delightfully simple; the path to it, bewilderingly complex.
Larger infinities: In the late 1800s, the German mathematician Georg Cantor blazed the trail into the "transfinite" by proving that some infinite sets are bigger than others, thereby opening a strange new realm of mathematics.
You can savor these results and many more in Great Thinkers, Great Theorems, 24 half-hour lectures that conduct you through more than 3,000 years of beautiful mathematics, telling the story of the growth of the field through a carefully chosen selection of its most awe-inspiring theorems.
Approaching great theorems the way an art course approaches great works of art, the course opens your mind to new levels of math appreciation. And it requires no more than a grasp of high school mathematics, although it will delight mathematicians of all abilities.
Your guide on this lavishly illustrated tour, which features detailed graphics walking you through every step of every proof, is Professor William Dunham of Muhlenberg College, an award-winning teacher who has developed an artist's eye for conveying the essence of a mathematical idea. Through his enthusiasm for brilliant strategies, novel tactics, and other hallmarks of great theorems, you learn how mathematicians think and what they mean by "beauty" in their work. As added enrichment, the course guidebook has supplementary questions and problems that allow you to go deeper into the ideas behind the theorems.
An Innovative Approach to Mathematics
Professor Dunham has been taking this innovative approach to mathematics for over a quarter-century-in the classroom and in his popular books. With Great Thinkers, Great Theorems you get to watch him bring this subject to life in stimulating lectures that combine history, biography, and, above all, theorems, presented as a series of intellectual adventures that have built mathematics into the powerful tool of analysis and understanding that it is today.
In the arts, a great masterpiece can transform a genre; think of Claude Monet's 1872 canvas Impression, Sunrise, which gave the name to the Impressionist movement and revolutionized painting. The same is true in mathematics, with the difference that the revolution is permanent. Once a theorem has been established, it is true forever; it never goes out of style. Therefore the great theorems of the past are as fresh and impressive today as on the day they were first proved.
What Makes a Theorem Great?
A theorem is a mathematical proposition backed by a rigorous chain of reasoning, called a proof, that shows it is indisputably true. As for greatness, Professor Dunham believes the defining qualities of a great theorem are elegance and surprise, exemplified by these cases
Elegance: Euclid has a beautifully simple way of showing that any finite collection of prime numbers can't be complete-that there is always at least one prime number left out, proving that the prime numbers are infinite. Dr. Dunham calls this one of the greatest proofs in all of mathematics.
Surprise: Another Greek, Heron, devised a formula for triangular area that is so odd that it looks like it must be wrong. "It's my favorite result from geometry just because it's so implausible," says Dr. Dunham, who shows how, 16 centuries later, Isaac Newton used algebra in an equally surprising route to the same result.
Great Thinkers, Great Theorems includes many lectures that are devoted to a single theorem. In these, Professor Dunham breaks the proof into manageable pieces so that you can follow it in detail. When you get to the Q.E.D.-the initials traditionally ending a proof, signaling quod erat demonstrandum (Latin for "that which was to be demonstrated")-you can step back and take in the masterpiece as a whole, just as you would with a painting in a museum.
In other lectures, you focus on the biographies of the mathematicians behind these masterpieces-geniuses who led eventful, eccentric, and sometimes tragic lives. For example
Cardano: Perhaps the most bizarre mathematician who ever lived, the 16th-century Italian Gerolamo Cardano was a gambler, astrologer, papal physician, convicted heretic, and the first to publish the solution of cubic and quartic algebraic equations, which he did after a no-holds-barred competition with rival mathematicians.
Newton and Leibniz: The battle over who invented calculus, the most important mathematical discovery since ancient times, pitted Isaac Newton-mathematician, astronomer, alchemist-against Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz- mathematician, philosopher, diplomat. Each believed the other was trying to steal the credit.
Euler: The most inspirational story in the history of mathematics belongs to Leonhard Euler, whose astonishing output barely slowed down after he went blind in 1771. Like Beethoven, who composed some of his greatest music after going deaf, Euler was able to practice his art entirely in his head.
Cantor: While Vincent van Gogh was painting pioneering works of modern art in France in the late 1800s, Georg Cantor was laying the foundations for modern mathematics next door in Germany. Unappreciated at first, the two rebels even looked alike, and both suffered debilitating bouts of depression.
Describing a common reaction to the theorems produced by these great thinkers, Professor Dunham says his students often want to know where the breakthrough ideas came from: How did the mathematicians do it? The question defies analysis, he says. "It's like asking: 'Why did Shakespeare put the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet? What made him think of it?' Well, he was Shakespeare. This is what genius looks like!" And by watching the lectures in Great Thinkers, Great Theorems, you will see what equivalent genius looks like in mathematics.

TTC - Major Transitions in Evolution
Last updated 11/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 12h 48m ) | Size: 10.3 GB
How and when did life on Earth get to be the way it is today?
How and when did life on Earth get to be the way it is today?
Imagine a world without bees, butterflies, and flowering plants. That was Earth 125 million years ago.
Turn back the clock 400 million years, and there were no trees.
At 450 million years in the past, even the earliest insects had not yet developed.
And looking back 500 million years-a half-billion years before the present-the land was devoid of life, which at that time flourished in a profusion of strange forms in the oceans.
These and other major turning points are the amazing story of evolution, the most remarkable force in the history of Earth, the organizing principle throughout the biological sciences, and the most important mechanism scientists use to understand the varieties of life on our planet.
To learn about these major transitions, each of which brought forth new possibilities for life, is to embark on an unforgettable look into the past. It's also a captivating opportunity to get a deeper understanding of how evolution works, to draw intricate connections between living things, and to think about life-not just yours but the lives of everything around you-in new ways.
Major Transitions in Evolution tells this science-detective story in 24 lavishly illustrated lectures that focus on the giant leaps that gave rise to nature's boundless diversity. In a course of breathtaking scope, you study the conditions that led to the first complex cells, flying insects, flowering plants, mammals, modern humans, and many other breakthroughs. And in the process of studying the past, you gain a powerful understanding of the present world.
Given the broad scope of the subject, this course is taught by two professors: Anthony Martin, a paleontologist and geologist at Emory University, and John Hawks, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Each is an outstanding teacher in his field, adept at making the subject interesting and accessible no matter what your background in science. And in the final lecture, the two appear together for an absorbing conversation on common themes in the epic saga of life on Earth.
Giant Leaps that Brought Us to Today
Among the major transitions you cover are these
From simple to complex cells: Life's first major evolutionary transition was the leap from basic prokaryotic to more complex eukaryotic cells, which contain a nucleus and other specialized structures. This was the crucial step that eventually led to plants and animals.
From fish to four legs: The iconic image of evolution is a fish emerging onto land. This transition might not have happened without shade provided by the newly developing forests, whose protective canopy gave the first fishapods protection from the sun.
Dinosaurs become birds: Dinosaurs didn't go completely extinct; they survive today as birds, whose distinctive wings, feathers, and other features are visible in transitional fossils such as Archaeopteryx, from about 150 million years ago.
Modern humans: The evolution of tree-dwelling primates to upright-walking apes later led to the evolution of modern humans-a species that invented agriculture, poetry, computers, and the techniques to trace its own lineage and that of all life.
You also explore many other transitions that occurred between these milestones, and you take an intriguing look ahead to speculate about the future direction of evolution. From the deep past until today, evolution has been a story with countless subplots, false leads, and reversals of fortune. But it has had one overarching theme-that life is wondrous, resilient, and endlessly surprising.

TTC - Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage
Last updated 12/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 12h 12m ) | Size: 10.2 GB
Is English broken? Do bad grammar, slang, and illogical constructions signal a decline in standards of usage? Do e-mail and text messages corrupt the art of writing? In short, is our language going to the dogs?
It's easy to think so, just as it's easy to listen to people speaking a foreign language and think that they're doing something more complicated and interesting than we're doing in speaking English. But English is complicated and interesting too. Consider the real truth behind these widespread beliefs
English is in crisis: False. English has been undergoing fundamental change for centuries. Novelty and caprice have created not just slang but the very foundations of what we think of as the best parts of English.
Latin is more perfect than modern languages: False. By historical accident, Latin became the standard for grammatical rigor. But countless languages, including English, are Latin's equal in precision and expressive power.
Grammar should be logical: False. A double negative is unacceptable in standard English because it implies a positive. But many languages use it without misunderstanding, along with other constructions that defy strict logic.
Texting degrades writing: False. Text messages and e-mail are not crowding out other forms of language. Instead, they fill an important niche-informal writing-that until now had no adequate outlet.
The modern attitude toward English is filled with such misconceptions that obscure the true picture of what a marvelous language it is. Far from being a language in decline, English is the product of surprisingly varied linguistic forces, some of which have only recently come to light. And these forces continue to push English in new directions-in defiance of those who long for an age of formal perfection that never existed.
Taught by acclaimed linguist, author, and Professor John McWhorter of Columbia University, Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage dispels the cloud of confusion that clings to English, giving you a crystal-clear view of why we use it the way we do and where it fits into the diverse languages of the world. After completing these 24 lectures, you will think about how you use English in a new way, listen to others with discernment and fascination, and take joy in speaking such a wonderfully idiosyncratic tongue.
Dig beneath the Surface of English
Like an archaeologist sifting through clues to a vanished civilization, Professor McWhorter highlights the many features of English that sound normal to a native speaker but that linguists find puzzling and also revealing
Meaningless do: The only languages that use do in the way English does (as in "do not walk") are the Celtic languages such as Welsh, which were spoken by people who lived among the early English and influenced their language in many subtle ways.
Fossilized mistakes: The little green legume often eaten with carrots was formerly called pease in the singular. The word was gradually misinterpreted as plural because of the final s sound, and a new singular form was assumed to exist: pea.
"Heritage" Old English: One of the mysteries of Modern English is that it resembles a heritage version of Old English. A heritage language is one learned imperfectly at home, typically by immigrant children who acquire a different dominant language.
Hear English with New Ears
In the first part of the course, you address historical mysteries about English. Your investigation begins 2,500 years ago with Proto-Germanic, the language that gave birth to the Germanic languages. From there, you trace the shifting path that eventually led to English-a Germanic language like no other-which lacks grammatical gender and practically all case endings and conjugation markers. "Something happened to English," says Professor McWhorter, and by the end of Lecture 9 you will have pieced together evidence from many different languages that explain our tongue's unique evolution.
In the second part of Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage, you focus on modern controversies about how English is used, which take on new clarity in light of the historical background covered earlier in the course.
These lectures give you a fresh perspective on the language, allowing you to understand it more fully
Pronoun problems: "Billy and me went to the store" is considered incorrect, because the subject form, I, should be used instead of me. But then why does "Me and Billy went to the store" sound so much more fluent than "I and Billy went to the store"?
Lie/lay confusion: Lie and lay exemplify an old pattern in English, in which the vowel is altered to make an intransitive verb transitive. But as with another such pair, drink and drench (where drench originally meant "to force to drink"), the traditional lie/lay distinction is irreversibly withering away.
Dangling participles: "Driving through town, the crowds looked ominous" is deemed ungrammatical, because it suggests the crowds were doing the driving. But what about "Judging from her appearance, she was quite tired," which has the same construction but is widely accepted?
Terminal prepositions: The rule against ending a sentence with a preposition is largely the work of 18th-century clergyman Robert Lowth, who had so internalized the rhythms of Latin that he wished to impose a similar structure on English, which has a much more flexible relationship with prepositions.
A History of Defying Rules
These examples and many more in the course represent a few of the flash points in English's long history of defying rules, a process that occurs in all languages. In a vivid analogy, Professor McWhorter says that the effort to keep English the way it used to be is like trying to dry off the beach with a towel. One of the jobs of linguists is to pull back the camera and take in the big picture to see how languages naturally evolve, and to predict where they're going next.
As you discover in Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage, the evidence is all around you: in the speech you hear in public places and on television, in the always-innovative slang of the young, on the printed page and Internet, and in your own mouth. "Part of being a healthy society is being proud of one's language," says Professor McWhorter. In this exciting course, he gives you every reason to be a proud, informed, and more self-aware speaker of English.

It's easy to imagine the first modern humans staring up at the heavens in wonder, their eyes and minds dazzled by a beautiful band of light splashed across the night sky, the ever-changing moon so large and bright, and pinpoints of light in every direction. For a few hundred thousand years, our eyes were our primary astronomical tool, and we used them well. We catalogued and analyzed what we saw, filled in the gaps with powerful stories, applied what we knew of mathematics, and then invented complex tools of stone, metal, and glass to expand our knowledge. Everything we knew about the universe was based on light, that small part of the electromagnetic spectrum detectable by human eyes.
Then one day in the 1930s, a young engineer named Karl Jansky was assigned a task at Bell Labs: What were the sources of radio static that could interrupt transatlantic radio communications? After several years of work, he identified one source as radio waves coming from thunderstorms near and far. and another, from something at the center of the Milky Way. For the very first time, we had detected radiation below the visible part of the spectrum emanating from an astronomical object. For years, astronomers had been frustrated by interstellar dust that blocked their view and limited their
Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe takes you on a thrilling journey through the universe with stunning visuals and animations to explain the science of radio astronomy and its astounding discoveries. Your guide is Felix J. Lockman, Ph.D., of the Green Bank Observatory, an active radio astronomer whose great passion for his work is absolutely contagious. As Dr. Lockman explains, radio astronomy is not simply a conglomeration of theories with no practical application to our lives today. While radio astronomy has the potential to one day answer the question of extraterrestrial intelligence, it also allows us to more accurately tell time right here on Earth, study terrestrial plate tectonics, and even get smartphone directions to that great new restaurant.
All about That Hydrogen
Some of radio astronomy's myriad discoveries can be traced to the structure of the hydrogen atom. In hydrogen, one electron is essentially in orbit around one proton and both have a property called "spin," either up or down. The parallel spin "wants" to decay into antiparallel spin-much like two magnets "wanting" to be aligned north to south, or antiparallel. In jumping position from parallel to antiparallel, a photon of radiation is emitted.
This process is certainly not unique to hydrogen. What is unique is that at the dawn of radio astronomy, a scientist predicted hydrogen would emit this radiation at detectable radio wavelengths, and this prediction offered astronomers a new tool for studying the universe. Three teams of scientists from around the world worked to discover the signal, and there it was, exactly as predicted: with a frequency of 1420 MHz, a wavelength of 21 cm.
For more than a decade, hydrogen at 21 cm wavelength remained the only spectral line which radio astronomers could use for their research. Later, signals from other elements and even molecules were identified. Over time, as both theory and technology improved, radio astronomers made discoveries that completely changed our understanding of the universe. Just a very few of these discoveries include
Jupiter's radiation belts;
Galactic non-thermal radiation, now called synchrotron emission;
The birth rate of stars in the Milky Way and the galaxy's rotational speed;
Sagittarius A, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way;
Dark matter;
Neutron stars, pulsars, and binary pulsar systems;
Gravitational radiation, as predicted by Einstein;
Cosmic background radiation, confirming the big bang theory;
Radio galaxies, quasars, and active galactic nuclei;
Giant molecular clouds, the birthplaces of stars and planets; and
Complex organic molecules in interstellar space.
Radio Telescopes, "Seeing" the Invisible
While you might have an optical telescope in your backyard, you will likely never have a radio telescope. Radio telescopes are large-over 100 meters in diameter and beyond-because radio waves contain such a small amount of energy. For example, the signal from your cell phone measured one kilometer away is five million billion times stronger than the radio signals received from a bright quasar! Although each radio telescope is designed for a specific use and often looks very different from others, they are all based on the same physical principles. Each collects, focuses, amplifies, and analyzes radio waves. In Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe, Dr. Lockman takes you on an exciting virtual tour of radio telescopes. From the first handmade telescope built by radio astronomy pioneer Grote Reber to those on the drawing board for tomorrow, you're right there with the scientists
The Green Bank Telescope, West Virginia, where Dr. Lockman does his research. At 17 million pounds and with more than 2,000 surface panels that can be repositioned in real time, this telescope is one of the largest moveable, land-based objects ever built.
The Very Large Array (VLA), New Mexico. With its 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration, the data can be multiplied to form interference patterns, giving scientists a deeper and clearer look at galaxies than ever before.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Chile. With an array of 66 radio antennas located high above much of the earth's atmosphere, ALMA has revealed new stars and planetary systems in the making.
The Very-Long-Baseline Array (VLBA), with multiple locations. The VLBA includes telescopes located thousands of miles apart, all functioning together as one single radio telescope the size of the Earth, allowing scientists to peer deep into the centers of galaxies.
The Biggest Questions
Perhaps the most astounding of all radio astronomy discoveries is this: The dominant molecular structures in interstellar space are based on carbon. That is not what scientists had expected.
We have always labeled these molecules "organic" because life on Earth is carbon based. Now we know that the chemistry of the entire Milky Way is organic, not just our home planet, and it is likely that any extraterrestrial galactic life would be related to us, at least on the molecular level. Will we find other organic lifeforms out there? Radio astronomers don't know. But they're working on it, along with the study of many other objects and processes not yet understood. Dr. Lockman's current research addresses hydrogen clouds in the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. Other radio astronomers are working to answer myriad questions about dark matter, fast radio bursts, and much more.
If the history of radio astronomy is any predictor, discoveries in these new research areas will lead to new questions, new technologies, more discoveries, and more questions. As Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe shows, the field is on the cutting edge of knowledge itself. "Astronomy, by looking outward, leads us to questions that reflect upon ourselves in very deep ways," Dr. Lockman says. "Astronomical discoveries have changed the way we think."
What Will You Learn?
how understanding the hydrogen atom led to the discovery of dark matter.
that interstellar space is peppered with organic molecules.
how radio astronomy contributes to our lives on Earth.

We've all encountered bad writing at some point in our lives. We've possibly even authored some ourselves. And it's pretty clear when writing is bad. Whether you're writing business letters, memos, emails, reports, announcements, or some other professional communication, the pragmatic communicator can be far more effective than the multiloquent one.
Because we are judged by our ability to communicate with direction, focus, and confidence-along with inspiration and empathy, no matter who you are and what your goal is-getting the right message across is absolutely essential to achieving your objectives.
In the 12 rewarding lectures of Written Communications: Being Heard and Understood, Professor Allison Friederichs, Associate Teaching Professor and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the University of Denver, University College, will share the secrets to sharpening your written, oral, and interpersonal communications skills. She will show you how impactful communication isn't really about you: It's about your reader. Once you understand your audience, she'll show you how to target the message, make appropriate word choices, incorporate sound logic, and untangle complex syntax using a combination of examples and activities.
Words Matter
People use words all the time, every single day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. But when you are writing words, you lose the context of vocal intonation, facial expression, and delivery. Your reader has to infer your intent and meaning and can only do so by the words you use. This ability to choose the right language is important because words are the most basic building blocks of communication. With two lectures of this series devoted to language and words, Professor Friederichs will provide you with exercises and toolkits for picking the right words every time. Consider "The Four C's," a framework that suggests your chosen words should be
Correct. It's important to use the correct word. People don't always do this. Malapropisms are an example. They occur when a person uses a word that sounds like the word they mean but isn't quite correct. Yogi Berra was famous for this; for example, he once said, "Texas gets a lot of electrical votes." (He meant electoral votes.)
Concrete. One of the best ways to choose the right word is to understand the difference between concrete and abstract word choices. Choosing a concrete word means picking one with less possible variance in the connotative meaning. For example, if a person says, "I just heard my dog bark," it's fairly obvious that he or she is referring to the sound a dog makes rather than the exterior of a tree.
Clear. This speaks to ensuring clarity. There are three things to keep in mind to help you write clearly: writing concisely, avoiding redundancy, and avoiding jargon.
Contextually appropriate. If you don't consider choosing the right word for the particular context, the risks can be much greater than misunderstanding. The wrong choice can have a profound impact on your professional relationships. When you write, you should place yourself in the context in which your message will be read, not the context in which it is written.
Professor Friederichs will also provide a deep dive into the intrinsic relationship between language and culture, considering an age-old issue about the nature of language, including the descriptive/prescriptive debate, as well as the two levels of meaning every word has: denotation and connotation. You'll discover how meaning is culturally constructed and how meanings of words can shift across times and cultures.
The Misunderstood World of Punctuation
Once you've equipped yourself with the tools and skills to pick the right words, you need to present them in a professional and competent manner. Grammar and punctuation are challenging but important facets of writing. Nothing undermines your message more than the incorrect usage of a word, but even if you use the word properly, incorrect grammar and punctuation can change the entire meaning.
Professor Friederichs dedicates three lectures to ensuring you get it right, starting with the most commonly misunderstood rules of punctuation, such as issues around commas, semicolons, quotation marks, and dashes, as applied to Edited Standard American English. You'll master noun and proper noun grammar rules such as when to capitalize, how to recognize pronoun case-possessive, subjective, and objective-how to spot misplaced and dangling modifiers, and how to untangle the often-confusing use of apostrophes. From there, you'll cover the more complex world of verb and adverb usage-looking at passive and active voices, tense, and mood.
You may have bad memories of diagramming sentences for hours on end in grade school or getting otherwise grade "A" papers back with lower marks due to punctuation and spelling mistakes. Professor Friederichs's manner and delivery will help you overcome any bad feelings you've harbored about grammar. She makes each of these lessons a delight, bringing plenty of humor and enthusiasm to explain the context for some of the rules that feel particularly arbitrary. With plenty of examples that make it easy to remember these often-confusing grammar rules, you'll gain helpful tips to ensure your writing is always effective.
Get Writing Right
The last half of this illuminating course spotlights how to improve your overall message by changing your writing lens to focus on your audience. Most people typically don't take the time to consider their message when they sit down at a keyboard, but Professor Friederichs demonstrates why you must conduct an analysis about what you are about to write before you even hit the first key-and she shows you how.
Professor Friederichs adds another useful tool to your collection with the business-writing process called ACE, which stands for Analyze, Craft, and Edit. For each of these steps, Professor Friederichs provides a helpful checklist that you can refer to each time you sit down to write.
Analyze: Professor Friederichs provides the Analyze Checklist to help you to consider your purpose, your audience, what your purpose statement will look like, and the relevant facts that will be involved. It also provides you with an opportunity to develop an outline of ideas. The analysis stage will save you time by helping you craft strong documents from the start.
Craft: You'll quickly see how the Craft Checklist is immensely useful as you work through writing your purpose statement, introduction, body, and conclusion. Professor Friederichs also outlines eight additional best practices that will help you craft a well-written draft.
Edit: Here is your chance to analyze your document with a reader-centric lens to ensure it says what you want it to say, in an organized, clear, and concise manner. While you are not proofreading your document at this point, the Editing Checklist helps you review organization, proper word choice, clarity and concision, punctuation, and grammar.
Along with activities to help you put this process into practice, you'll soon learn how the ACE process can be an instrumental habit to implement every time you write a professional communication.
The concluding lectures take you through the final steps of the process. They also provide you with valuable techniques for overall writing practices, such as developing your professional writing voice, building or using a style guide, and building strong relationships through your writing. From how to write a subject line for an email to the best choices for a greeting and an ending, Professor Friederichs covers every step of executing successfully written communications with helpful advice, tips, and tools, all geared to help you become a better writer, in any situation.
