This talk explores some of the properties of the columnar transposition cipher, a classical encryption technique that uses a rectangular grid structure to shuffle the characters of the plaintext. This means that the columnar transposition cipher is a permutation, and the group theoretic structure of the cipher admits some interesting features.
Using The Master Genealogist ― AdvancedTeresa Pask
This document provides an advanced tutorial on using The Master Genealogist genealogy software. It covers topics like the data set manager, accents, focus groups, custom flags, advanced report options, and designing report filters. It also discusses how to create sources and repositories, custom roles, witnesses, sentence structure, source templates, and exporting data. Finally, it introduces companion products like Second Site for generating websites and TMG Utility for modifying databases.

Teaching and learning in the inverted classroomRobert Talbert
Slides from a presentation for a faculty workshop at Lindsey Wilson College, 14 August 2013.
The inverted or "flipped" classroom is a way to design classes so that students have all the time they need in class to engage with the most challenging material *and* get the help they need at the same time. This presentation breaks down the issues with the traditional classroom model, explains what's involved with the inverted classroom, goes through two case studies, and gives some ideas for best practices.

(Keynote presentation given at the annual conference of the Michigan Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges, Detroit, MI on October 5, 2013.)
The way we traditionally design college classes -- with lecture front and center in class and homework outside of class -- suffers from two serious flaws: There is no natural way to find and repair student misconceptions by the end of class, and students' access to expert help is inversely proportional to their need for help. The inverted or "flipped" classroom is a solution to those design flaws. In this presentation we discuss flipped course design, best practices for designing a flipped lesson, and lessons learned from flipping.
Examining the cycle structure and order of columnar transposition ciphers as elements of the symmetric group on L elements (L = length of message). Talk given at Ball State University Faculty Mathematics Colloquium, 2 April 2009.
This tutorial was given at the Society of Genealogists on 1 August 2008. It covered the basics of getting started with The Master Genealogist (TMG), including setting up options, entering data, linking families, project explorer / picklists, finding, searching and sorting. Additionally more complex scenarios is covered, including importing and exporting data, and changing or customising narrative sentences. Also the tutorial includes how to use the companion tool Second Site to publish your TMG data in HTML format to include it on the Web, or share your data with family members on custom CDs.
Version 5 of this popular presentation, relates to five ways to publish your family history. Whilst it is a variation on the theme, it includes up-to-date images.
This presentation was given at the Guild of One-Name Studies (GOONS) Hampshire Regional Meeting at the Hampshire Records Office, Winchester, Hampshire, England on Saturday September 20, 2014.
The synposis reads:
If you can e-mail, or upload files then you have enough knowledge and experience to publish your family history. The presentation focuses on five easy alternatives. The hardest part is deciding what method you are going to use!
The majority of us use the internet for searching, and exchanging information mainly by e-mail. If you have virtual presence the likelihood of others finding you increases significantly.
Please note, this presentation does not include programming, web design, or setting up a website. However, you do not need these skills to publish your family history.
This presentation will be given to the Guild of One-Name Studies (GOONS) at the Guild Computer Seminar in Epsom, Surrey, England on August 7, 2010
This session covers the basics of using TMG including setting up options, entering data, linking families, project explorer / picklists, finding, searching and sorting. Additionally it will show how to create narratives, and family trees. The tutorial also includes how to use the companion tool Second Site to publish your TMG data in HTML format to include on the web, or share your data with family members on custom CDs.
Learning matlab in the inverted classroom Robert Talbert
A look at a use of the inverted classroom model to teach introductory scientific programming to freshmen using MATLAB. (Talk delivered to the Computers in Education Division, American Society for Engineering Education conference, 13 June 2012, San Antonio, TX USA.)
Inverting the classroom, improving student learningRobert Talbert
The traditional classroom model has the transmission of information done in the class and the assimilation of that info done outside the class. But does that make sense? Shouldn't the instructor be the most available to the students when they are working on the hardest tasks? The inverted classroom model says "yes", and puts the lecture outside the class while freeing up time in class to be spent on hard, authentic problems to solve. This talk is all about this inverted model.
