IT Won't Kill You If You Fall

One of our favorite movies of 2018 is the Alex Honnold rock climbing documentary Free Solo. It's one of five films presently in contention for the Best Documentary Feature Oscar, and a must-see for anyone who's the least bit intrigued by big wall climbing. If you haven't seen it yet, then check your local theater listings quick! There's a special one-week IMAX release that begins Friday, and this is definitely a film that would be more enjoyable on a massive IMAX screen.
As Real as Real Can (Almost) Be

Some of you out there have probably watched the "old" TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's a successor to the even older TV show Star Trek. By the way, are we overexplaining this? It's hard to know. There are still Star Trek spinoff shows in production, after all, even if the newest (and only current) iteration of the long-lived franchise is locked up behind a paywall at CBS.com where only subscribers can actually watch it.

A refrain one often hears in educational circles is that U.S. universities and colleges are the “envy of the world.” Based upon the number of foreign students attending each year, there does appear to be some validity to that claim. These institutions are certainly doing something right.

Technology has made a lot of things simpler, more effective, and more efficient. There are many different ways that all of us benefit from ongoing advances in the functionality and versatility of smartphones, tablets, and laptop and desktop computers. When you reflect that the weight of some early computers was measured in tons, it's clear that there's been a great deal of progress.
It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's ... LabSim?

All of us here at TestOut Continuing Education are big fans of LabSim, the training platform that supports all of our certification and training courses. To us, LabSim is sort of like Superman or Wonder Woman. Maybe it's not from a far-off dead planet, or a hidden Amazonian island. It does have more or less magical superpowers, on the other hand, and it is dedicated to protecting mere mortals (from humdrum and ineffective certification training), and serving their interests (by providing them with a fantastic educational experience).
