Crypto Market Top Four Losers of 2022
by Gideon Geoffrey
As the year comes to an end, we look back at how most assets performed. Further research as it that it is hard to find assets that gained up to 10% during the period under consideration.
This bad sentiment is affecting the global cryptocurrency market cap. We are also seeing a gradual drop in One of the slowest declines in the market worth of all cryptocurrencies was below $800 billion. The market valuation gradually decreased over the last three days without a significant increase in trading volume.
Looking at the chart, we could see that there was a clear downward trend over this time. However, as the year comes to a close, we can anticipate that the value will continue to gradually decline since most traders will be away from the market.
For the majority of traders, 2022 was a rollercoaster experience because they weren't prepared for the kind of turmoil it would bring. The mistakes were numerous. The graphic below provides a visual representation of what happened during the time frame in question.
The market was shaken by so many negative developments, which resulted in a sharp decrease in the sector's worth. It started the year at $2.25 trillion, but as of this writing, it was only worth $798 billion. This is a blatant sign that the sector has declined by approximately 65%.
This also means that more than 60% of the value of the majority of cryptocurrencies was lost. More information is provided by the picture below. We saw that the majority of the assets are tinted gray or red, which denotes losses (not decided).
Looking at the above graph reveals that popular coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum lost more than 60% of their value. In addition to these assets, numerous altcoins had large price declines over the time period under examination.
Most of these cryptocurrencies are down more than 50%, and several are down even more. Let's examine the top losers over the previous 364 days.
In 2021, Solana was among the brightest coins. It was known as the "Ethereum Killer" and endangered the majority of the top 10 assets. Following a positive close the previous week, it was added to most investors' watchlists.
It sparked curiosity for 363 days despite making several press appearances. It made various enhancements to its community and ecosystem while generally being bullish. In March, it made one such adjustment by collaborating with PUBG to develop blockchain games.
The Solana testnet withstood 13,000 TPS in August, which led to another significant announcement. It also passed 3,400 validators, making it the most "decentralized" system. A-listers like SBF and the co-founder of Polygon were among those who became interested in SOL.
Given that it might end 2022 with its largest losses ever, all of these reports have a relatively little long-term effect on the asset. The adverse effect on the altcoin, which is currently down more than 90%, cannot be overstated.
The monthly graphic provides greater insight into what happened. The subject asset had a dismal start to the year, losing more than 40% in January. A closer look at the charts revealed that it had two straight greens.
2022's biggest spike occurred in July. SOL increased by more than 25%, gaining more as the month came to an end. Only three of the year's twelve months produced meaningful advances. A doji was used to represent February.
The coin fell more than 50% in November, which was the most bearish month. There is currently a more than 33% decline, and a late recovery is not in the cards.

COVID-19: All NY Schools Can Reopen Classrooms, Must Post Plans, Brief Parents, Cuomo Says

New York's COVID-19 infection rate has stayed steady and as a result, schools across the state have been authorized to reopen, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced.
During a COVID-19 conference call with the news media on Friday, Aug. 7, Cuomo said that every region is below the threshold established by the state Department of Health, allowing students and teachers to return to the classroom for the upcoming academic year.
The Health Department previously announced that school districts in New York can prepare plans to reopen for in-person schooling in September if COVID-19 infection rates stay at 5 percent or lower in a given region.
In recent weeks, the infection rate has hovered around 1 percent.

'If you look at our infection rate, we are probably in the best situation in the country right now," Cuomo said. "So if anyone can open schools, we can open schools, and that's true for every region in our state.
"They are all authorized to open," he continued. "We're going to watch the infection rate, and if there's a spike in the infection rate, that would be a matter of concern and we can revisit it."
Before reopening, all 749 school districts in New York had to submit their reopening plan that includes guidance on how they plan to handle potential remote learning, testing, and contact tracing for teachers and students.
Districts were supposed to submit their proposals to the Department of Health by Friday, July 31, though Cuomo said that 127 districts failed to do so, and 50 of the plans submitted were either incomplete or deficient.
"The main questions that have been asked are how we're going to contact trace, how we're going to test, and how to do remote learning. Those all need to have separate plans that are posted," he said. "We're asking school districts to post those three components."
Additionally, Cuomo is instructing school districts to host at least three discussions online with parents and one with teachers before Friday, Aug. 21 to allow for dialogue and to offer school administrators a chance to answer any questions that they may have.
"Parents need an opportunity to be heard, and schools should welcome the opportunity to actually explain the plan," Cuomo said. "We also want districts to go through the plan with teachers so they can discuss exactly what the plan is and allow the teachers to air out any questions or concerns."
Cuomo said that each school district is being tasked with coming up with its own reopening plan, said that the only statewide policy is the viral infection rate when it comes to opening or closing schools.
"The school districts are very different," he said. "They're all different sizes, different shapes, different configurations, and different communities. There is no one size fits all, so these have to be done district by district because the circumstances can be that different in each district."
When schools open, teachers and students will be instructed to wear face coverings, and social distancing efforts will be made at all times, though interscholastic sports still have not been approved.
"If any state can do this, we can do this, and it's not just about our infection rate," Cuomo said. "It's because we've been smarter than any other state as a people in dealing with this. I believe in New Yorkers, and they will decide what they want to do, and how they want to do it school district by school district."

Q: Why don't I receive an email using codeigniter email library when using local server? I am using codeigniter's email library on mac os x apache 2 server. The weird thing I am running into is that when I use it on live server which is on hostgator.com the email goes through but when I run the same code on local apache2 server, I don't get any emails(even in spam box). What can be the problem? Here is the code
        $this->load->library('email');
        $this->email->from('your@example.com', 'Your Name');
        $this->email->to('myemailhere@gmail.com');
        $this->email->subject('Email Test');
        $this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
        if($this->email->send())
        {
            var_export($this->email->print_debugger());
        }

On both local and live server, this is var_dump data

Loved it, but had shipping issues.
This is exactly what I needed, however when it was delivered and I opened the box, it was very crumpled and wrinkled and looked terrible. I was pretty disappointed! I was also expecting it to be laminated. Had it not been for this issues this is a good product.
Perfect for our calendar time.
Good quality paper. Cute design. Great product.
Looks great with matching border!
I bought this last year with the matching accessories. I love it! It has held up really well. I was worries about the round numbers because they seemed thin but I laminated them and they look as good as the day I bought them. I really wish there was more in this black and white design. I would buy it all.

Natalie Koga Confronted With Eye-Witness To Her Corruption
NATALIE KOGA CAUGHT RED HANDED ERASING MOM FOR PROFIT
#nataliekoga #exposethecorruption
UPDATE: Corrupt Child Representative Natalie Koga, along with Judge Alfred Levinson & lawyer Elliott Heidelberger all abruptly, simultaneously gave up their lucrative lawyer & judge posts in Chicago to avoid investigation. Meg Jackson, who Koga was caught maliciously conspiring with, changed her name to "Mary Elizabeth" & moved her law practice to Lake County, Illinois. Koga found a County Social Worker/Guardian job in Arizona; though she's no longer licensed to practice law, she still lists herself as an attorney in Chicago. Meanwhile, Cook County Chicago's "Sex For Custody" lawyer David Pisulka, who controlled the lucrative secret list of Guardian ad Litems & Child Reps, has finally been arrested and stripped of his law license, after years of the IL ARDC ignoring grievances filed.
"Just hope Koga can find something else to do besides harming mothers and children."
–A Chicago lawyer familiar with the case
Erasing Mom for Profit: Affidavit Filed Letter from my former attorney Karen Conti to Natalie Koga, Child Representative, dated August 23, 2013. Confronts her with eye-witness to her collusion with my ex's lawyer Meg Jackson (now going by "Mary-Elizabeth"), to have my ex's hired gun Dr. Mark Goldstein write a false report about me. Ms. Conti was my attorney before their legal/financial abuse ran me out of money to continue to afford legal representation.
Dear Natalie:
Although I have just recently become involved in this case, I am concerned with some of your actions which I have witnessed and of which I have become aware.
First, at the last court appearance, my friend was sitting on a bench outside the courtroom and overheard you speaking to Meg Jackson (Father's) attorney (now "Mary-Elizabeth Jackson). You obviously did not know he was my friend. You and Meg Jackson were actively engaged in joining forces against my client and making comments about getting Dr. Goldstein, (Father's Hired Gun Psychologist) involved to 'help out' the problem; the problem being Ms. Nadig-Mehdipour's desire to be a mother to her child. Your disparagement of me personally was also noted which is unprofessional and petty.
Despite the 604(b) evaluator's two reports finding that (Father) is an alienator and that (Mother) should have sole custody, you have ignored these facts and blindly advocated that (minor child) spend as little time as possible with his mother. At trial, you vigorously fought Dr. Finn's recommendations. Bizarrely, in court you advocated that (minor child) be put into "after school" care rather than be allowed to have the option to walk the four blocks to spend time with his mother. Even after Judge Levinson ordered that (Minor Child) attend (High School), and (Father) attempted to sabotage his enrollment, you did not advocate for actions necessary for him to attend school there. On August 22, (minor child) refused to leave the (public library) to come home with his Mother and said "Stay away from me. You are not allowed to be with me. I have spoken with my attorney." If you did, in fact, advise (Minor Child) of that, you have violated all ethical duties as a child representative and attorney. Why haven't you been involved in resolving this problem and encouraging your client that it is better to spend three hours after school at his mother's house than sitting in a public library?
My client advises me of the following additional facts:
You have encouraged (Minor Child) to call you whenever he disagrees with what his mother says or when he does not get his way and then you refuse to communicate with Ms. Nadig-Mehdipour despite the fact that she is the legal custodian. By doing this, you are encouraging disrespect of parental boundaries and assisting in the alienation that has already been established by Dr. Finn. Ms. Nadig-Mehdipour has repeatedly asked for a more orderly means of communication but you have refused to respond.
Dr. Hummel noted that you crossed professional boundaries at (Hospital) interfering with (Minor Child's) (medical) care. In August, 2011, you engaged in wildly inappropriate physical contact with (Minor Child) by forcing him to hug you.
Since September, 2010, you have refused to communicate with Ms. Nadig-Mehdipour, who has historically been the primary caretaker and the sole legal custodian. The vast majority of conferences and telephone calls with (minor child) have occurred only when he was with Mr. Mehdipour.
At Ms. Nadig'Mehdipour's request, you interviewed Dr. Naila Wilcox-Avery, and Dr. Rodney Avery. who told you that they had concerns that (Father) was physically abusing (Minor Child) and coaching him to make false abuse allegations against Ms. Nadig-Mehdipour. Those doctors have reported that your refused to listen to their concerns.
You have been disrespectful and rude to (Mother) in the presence of (Minor child) and have attempted to interfere with (Minor Child's) medical treatment by telling him, "Your mom shouldn't take you for these assessments." You told (Minor Child) "I'll yell at your mom and make her a better mom to you."
You failed to communicate with therapist Stephanie Simpson for 11 months even though Ms. Simpson attempted to contact you repeatedly. Rather than speaking to Ms. Simpson., you filed a Rule To Show Cause against Ms. Nadig-Mehdipour.
I have not seen you once make a negative comment about (Father) despite findings that he is abusive, an alienator, and a parent who sabotages his child's education. Strangely, you have nothing but negative things to say about Ms. Nadig-Mehdipour. While I have not always agreed with GALS and Child Representatives, I have never seen one who is so actively opposed to one parent's involvement in parenting, despite her having sole custody.
I am told that you are not being paid. It defies logic that you are still so actively and aggressively involved despite this fact. Please assure me as an officer of the Court that neither (Father) nor anyone else on his behalf is paying you. Also, assure me that you are not going to use your offices to contact (Minor Child's) high school and poison them against Ms. Nadig-Mehdipour. I do not see that you have any reason to contact them. You are not a parent and have no business asserting your will into this family's issues. Sincerely, Karen Conti

Special Sale–John Howard Wyman's Bood Against her Will — $15 Paypal/Quickpay
MaryGSykes.com
A cautionary tale of elder abuse and the system that perpetuates it. Two years ago John Wyman's mother Carol walked out of a nursing home in Rockford, Illinois. She had been placed there for the convenience of others, not for her own well-being and had suffered mentally, physically and emotionally. When she ended up at John's home outside of Aspen, Colorado his journey began. Hairdresser by trade, rebel at heart, John took on the challenges of dealing with nursing homes, courts and family members to provide the best possible situation for his mother. What he experienced woke him up to the inequities and injustices lurking in the systems which have been established to help our older population. He decided to share his story to make us all aware of the catastrophic possibilities that lie in wait if we don't take action to change these systems. A must read for all…

Another Good Mom Bullied To Death By Family Court
This is a long and emotional read, but for those that have never been a victim of the system or have a hard time believing that an innocent person really can be innocent, even if a court document says otherwise… this story proves otherwise. All it takes is 1 person telling 1 lie that leads to another and another and another…So, sad. The poor mom who is now dead… and the poor children who are now permanent victims of the system and their narcissistic father…. if you can even call him that.
"Dear MSM,
My name is Nikki, I put a gun to my already shattered heart on December 20, 2014 after fighting 5 years, 4 months and 15 days for my children, because of lies, manipulation, & court corruption.
I am dead, so my mom & brother are continuing my fight.
I gave birth to 4 beautiful children and was a stay at home mom. On August 5th 2009 after my ex, Brian, drank 3 Long Island iced teas & more he started beating me up. I called 911 and the cops took ME to jail (I had never been to jail). They did a breathalyzer on me I blew a 0. The arresting officer was a childhood friend of Brian's. The next day Brian ran to the courthouse and got a restraining order on ME against my children and gained full custody. Brian falsely accused me of doing drugs, being crazy abusive, alcoholic, and doing meth while I was pregnant.
Brian had the kids in daycare. I got to see the kids at daycare. My 4 mo. old baby had severe diaper rashes most of the time. Brian would not get medicine from the doctor to bring to daycare. My ex manipulated a young girl that worked at daycare into signing a paper that I was harassing them. I instantly got restrained from daycare & any school function where my kids were for the next 5 years. I was ordered to do hair follicle tests and passed. I was ordered to go to drug and alcohol and passed. I was ordered to go to a psychologist and passed.
I filed 9 contempt of courts on Brian & Judge Scott Collier said, "You didn't do it right." Judge Collier was Brian's mom's attorney for her divorce when her boys were younger! I was my own attorney and asked the judge to recuse himself when I found this out, but the judge would NOT. My attorney I had for my domestic violence got video of my ex admitting he was drunk and couldn't remember most of that first night this all started, but the judge would not allow this in court.
The boys got molested while at my ex's home. Judge Collier ordered both my ex and me to get cps reports, drug and alcohol tests and psychologist reports for both of us. I complied, my ex did not. Cps testified for me, saying my ex was grooming the children. My son's baseball coach testified for me, saying the boys seemed scared of my ex. The boys' counselor testified for me & said the kids seemed afraid of my ex. The forensic evaluator, Dr. Landon Poppleton, and my ex's mom were the only ones that testified for Brian. Dr. Poppleton testified that my ex was 99% a liar yet testified that he would be the better parent. My ex's mom testified that I drank a lot and dressed basically like a prostitute and lots more.
Judge Collier gave Brian full custody.
When I would try to talk with the kids while they were at Brian's he would turn cartoons on so loud the kids couldn't concentrate while talking to me and many more things, he would make excuses to where I couldn't talk with the kids for weeks. It was ordered that Brian record all phone conversations between my children and me and I was ordered into supervised visits. During the visits the boys would do or say things bad about me or to me. Brian would buy them things if they did this to me because it was supervised he would use it as proof.
After a while I did not go see the kids at all thinking he would stop treating them bad if I was not in the picture. I didn't want them to have to go through any more.
Every time I took Brian to court Judge Collier would tear me down. Brian lied in court with no proof and he would allow it. I was too traumatized to go back to court to keep fighting. In the end, the lies & corruption were too devastating.
Brian refuses to this day to allow any of my family to see my children even supervised. He would not allow my children to go to my funeral even after my mom emailed and invited them.
Judge Collier didn't allow me any assets at the end of trial. I lost my children and my assets. My parents lost their 23 year marriage and log home. My bio dad sold his 400 acres to help. He lost everything today and is still homeless. Please keep fighting. Awareness is needed—finally."

How An Abuser Tricks You With Apologies
By Tanya Warrington
I used to assume that any apology from my first husband was a sign that he was willing to change his behavior. As the apologies stacked up, I thought he was trying but just wasn't having much success. Regardless of my conscious thoughts, my emotions took each apology to mean that from now on there was a fresh start, signifying a significant new shift in commitment and behavior.
It didn't matter how optimistic I was, however. Near the very end of our relationship, I knew he'd never change– not unless he sought help and then fully engaged in the healing process. When I went to a domestic violence shelter and began an educational class on abuse dynamics, he began participating in an abuser support group. My battered hopes soared once again. Maybe, this last apology had been real, maybe now he'd change. It turned out that he spent his sessions lying, recoloring what had happened to make himself look like the concerned, overconscientious guy who was married to a paranoid, oversensitive gal. He was committed to damage control, not to repentance and growth.
Perhaps you've been on a similar roller coaster ride that involves apologies. How do abusive people trick normal intelligence people (and even above average intelligence people) into believing insincere apologies? I'm not a psychiatrist, psychologist, or sociologist. I have no studies proving my ideas, but for what it's worth here are some things I've observed. How An Abuser Tricks You With Apologies
Love Letter From Daddy to Will and Addie
By Neil Shelton
I wish I could see their faces or hear their voices.
I wish I could talk their hands and guide their choices.
I wish I could comfort them when they are sad.
I wish I could talk to them and point out things that are bad.
I wish I could sit back and watch them grow. I wish I could point out life is fast so take it slow.
I wish I could hear the word Daddy and give them a kiss.
I wish I could get back time and everything that I miss.
I wish this world was easy and this system wasn't broke.
I wish I had other choices and would not have had to spoke.
I wish I could fix this problem for you and for me.
I hope it will be fixed one day so this nightmare my children one day will not have to see.
I wish above anything that I've endured. That this money for justice and kids for sale is cured.
Will and Addie, as yet another year has past. I just want you to know I love you and hope it is one year closer to the last.

http://pols.uic.edu/docs/default-source/chicago_politics/anti-corruption_reports/report-9—2015-a-banner-corruption-year—3-10-16-final-draft.pdf?sfvrsn=4
This is a yearly report put out by the Univ. of Illinois
The year 2015 was a banner year for corruption in the State of Illinois, the third most corrupt state in the nation. Based on the evidence in this report, it appears that our elected officials, our state and local governments, and society as a whole, are losing the battle against corruption. The most salacious corruption case of the past year is rooted in Downstate Illinois. Dennis Hastert, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and former Congressman from the town of Plano, some 50 miles west of Chicago. Hastert was indicted by federal prosecutors in May for structuring the withdrawal of $1.7 million dollars in violation of bank laws and for lying to the FBI. According to news reports, Hastert gave the money to a former student of Yorkville High School to compensate him for concealing…

Bolshoi Performers Say Dancer's Guilt Not Proven
Performers at the iconic Bolshoi Theater made a last-minute plea for leniency on Monday for a dancer accused of ordering an acid attack on its artistic director, praising his "wonderful human qualities" and saying he was incapable of such an act.
A judge is due to pronounce a verdict on Tuesday in the month-long trial of former soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko, which has shone a spotlight on bitter rivalries behind the scenes at the world-famous theater.
State prosecutors have asked for a nine-year prison term, but he could still be jailed for up to 12 years if convicted over an attack that nearly blinded the Bolshoi Ballet's artistic director, Sergei Filin.
The month-long trial of Dmitrichenko and two alleged accomplices has tainted the reputation of one of Russia's most prominent cultural symbols.
"In the open trial, the public has heard absolutely no evidence confirming his guilt," dozens of performers and other staff at the Bolshoi said in an open letter published on the website of Izvestia.
Dancer Natalya Vyskubenko said it was signed by about 150 people.
A masked assailant splashed acid in Filin's face when he was returning home late in the evening from the Bolshoi last January, leaving him writhing in pain. His eyesight remains impaired after more than 20 operations.
Dmitrichenko, 29, has acknowledged that he wanted Filin roughed up and had given co-defendant Yury Zarutsky the go-ahead to hit him but has pleaded not guilty to ordering an attack involving acid. Zarutsky has said the use of acid was his idea and that he had not told Dmitrichenko of his plan.
Citing what it called Dmitrichenko's "decency, flawless professionalism … and wonderful human qualities," the letter said those who knew him found it "absolutely unacceptable [to say] he could have inspired and ordered a crime that was committed in such a savage way."
"The judge's decision in this case must be proportionate to the real guilt of each participant — or lack thereof," it said.
Prosecutors have asked the court to sentence Zarutsky to 10 years in prison and Andrei Lipatov, who is accused of driving Zarutsky to the scene, to six years.
The prosecution said Dmitrichenko was motivated by a conflict with Filin. In court last week, prominent former Bolshoi dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze told the court that Filin had denied roles to both Dmitrichenko and his girlfriend, a ballerina.
Defense witnesses have attacked Filin's character, portraying him as an imperious hothead and Dmitrichenko as a champion of others who felt slighted by the artistic director, who has considerable power to make or break careers.

Diabetics always have to be careful of what and how they eat. Here are a few do's and don's to help you decide whats wrong and whats right.
Whole fruits and veggies ensure that you get all your needed vitamins, minerals and fiber. Certain fruits and vegetables also include much needed healthy fats. These include avocados and soybeans.
Whole grains are another great source of vitamins and fiber. They are digested over a longer period of time than processed foods, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
I'm not talking about WHAT you should be eating, but HOW you should be eating. Instead of eating 3 large meals a day – where you often get hungry in between and eat unhealthy snacks or over eat at lunch time – break up your daily meal plan into 6 or so smaller, balanced meals so that you feel full throughout the day and can avoid snacking and overeating.
Numerous studies have shown that chemically altered plant-based fats are not good for your heart or your health in general. Stay away from food that contains trans fats as far as possible.
Processed sugar is found in all kind of food today, even the ones that do not taste sweet including sugary soft drinks and potato chips. These processed sugars cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate and can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes.
Found in food like white bread, cookies and cake, these refined carbohydrates act in way that is very similar to processed sugar. They cause blood sugar levels to shoot up and fall back down the whole time, due to the fact that they are digested very quickly. It increases the risk of type 2 diabetes dramatically.

The other thing about performing is you've got well performing in front of an audience, obviously, as you've got them to interact with and feed off of now when it's just you and a webcam, how do you keep the energy up when you don't have that audience? It sucks so he's really hard it's not easy, I get it. I don't love myself rather big audiences feed off that energy, but this is where you say as if one of the performers greatest tools is the concept of acting as if you act as if there's an audience there watch you act as if there's one person that you're talking to a very direct so the changes you see it doesn't have to be an audience doesn't have any one person could go back and forth, it could change your still looking in the same place you got. That is my only over here I was over here because that weird it's just one person or a group of people that you're looking at through one lance but but the key is to put them on the other side of the camp and act as if you are talking to them...
and what that will do is it will raise your energy loves here's the thing often times, and people start a presentation to say, I'm really happy to be here what's what's the alternative that you really pissed that you're there of course you're happy so if you imagine you know you act as if you're happy that energy will start to come across if you act as if you're excited to do this work, the energy will come across if you act as if you care the energy will come across now, it's very important the actors not lie the performers not lie I'm not suggesting that you have to lie to act as if you care or act as if you're curious or act as if not now you are truly but you're amplifying you're bringing it to the surface in a bigger way were powerful way and as a result people feel like you are jumping right through the screen to that you're trying to talk to that theatre thing that's very similar in in the studio now I know a lot of people like to look at the differences, but there are so many similarities one of these you see people do in the theater now on stage where they're where they're trying teo speech alliance I had headphones on so is short here now it's going to take him off for one second, you can see on the back of injustice so there are really hitting their speech and they're adjusting the audience and talking about one story we're here and then the swishy thinks your store and then I look down now tell swarming over here now I'm gonna tell you some war being over here it's every time they have a new thought they looked down at the graph and what happens is they disconnect from the arts is very, very calm certainly seated a lot it's a combination of looking at the ground too teo remember when we were going to say and then of course just wandering around the stage but the same thing happens often on video so you were talking talking, talking and then you come in and then you talk a little bit more in the charles moore and then and you keep disconnecting from the audio so we need to know our material so well we need to stay connected to that audience so we are there with them all the time just like on the radio you don't want dead air no day or down the ringer something tunes in the national there's actually anything going on in the station in a video is similar in a way you don't have a lot of time to just sit and wait now if I said you know I need to check you know follow and said you know and I could go on all that's normally don't have to you know, to feel like you're frozen you know stop solid like a deer in the headlights and you just you need to stay like this and keep talking you be naturally look around that's fine when you think about things, you often will look down, but if it becomes this this habit that occurs each time you were trying to come up with a new thought they get strapping, it looks like you don't know while we're talking, so you often need to know your material even better than think you need to know your material in order for it to work. One of the things is so effective and he's so inexpensive for people to do now is use a telephone. So if you're doing a video interview questions you tell proctor it wouldn't be possible in a sense, it really would be parliament, actually e I michael bay trying to do that on hearing your van where he's being interviewed by the ceo for big tech company and tell ragnar meself and he guns lines wrong, freaked out, walked off offstage? I don't have anybody seen that, but it's really extraordinary. Michael bay with the greatest film directors in the world completely lose it and walk off stage in the middle of a q and a because this teleprompter stop, so if you but if you're doing video, teleprompter is great because you can write a script and you khun you get good at using the teleprompter reading it tell property while he was in a pedal on the floor that I can press to stop it and started to stop started because if you don't have somebody adjusting speed for you often you don't get ahead or you'll be a had million behind so you could stop it then started in south of it started and I find so affected but that's where the actor skills come in no one had read and performed at the same time is a skill that you develop and so you'll wanna work on that continuously ready related you can go to you know I won't mention a store now you know we wanna mention names of stores but go to the big electronics stores that specializing in video photography, etcetera and you could buy a teleprompter that will attach rate to the mount on your tribe and your camera goes on top of that or you just use on ipad users teleprompter happen there you felt with the ipad teleprompter rolls and you're good to go so that's very, very effective if you feel like you have trouble remembering where you're gonna go on ass excellent, I get it I have to interject a quick story here because one of the times I was shooting with somebody and they didn't want to use the teleprompter but they actually had their script written out and taped together like a huge long stream so and then matt, can you get here? You could hear and the person was literally holding that it's like, okay, that teleprompter I've ever seen in my life that's pretty good, but that's just take back this. I mean, you have to get you know, there is a skill to reading a telephone too, and not look like you going like that, right? Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. But the thing is, is that it's a very small screen? So you're not really going like this, you know, you're doing this in your eyes, you're not looking back and forth that much. And really, I think what takes practice is to make it feel naturalistic when you're reading that's really where the work is done and that's its practice, which is different than rehearsed rehearsal is what you do when you're working on a performance practice is just something you do over over again to get there or something that is a skill where technology but then once you're getting better at that, using the technology you develop that skill, then the rehearsal is you're really working on the material you're working on, the delivery you're working on, it said, and that's different than skill of using and telephone, but they're two different skills. So what are the, uh you've seen a lot of these I've seen a lot of these people on google hangouts they're doing videos what are some of the mistakes common mistake so maybe newbie mistakes that you see people make when they're performing on video as a pure one state so what? The one of the basic basic mistakes that you see is is the south set behind the video and the light because if you're not live properly, you know then it's very hard see you and now you know you're my whole oh you look so come in the dark so I gotta keep the lights to a certain level I even have a life underneath my best that's pointing at the wall to create some death with cem back like that it comes up and you know, great thomas was going to say like, you're like stop, you know they got you have approved them and I say absolutely right, so but when you're doing an interview like this there's the they're different bars depending on one your produced so you're producing a very, very high end thirty three minute video like I did for this upcoming course the bar I want I want to reset before I wanted to just I want to blow away a really bar that has been, you know, put it in place when you doing webinar you're not necessarily and set the stage in the same way, you know, for a basic weapon on them you're doing for a small group of people, but nonetheless, you need to have lived properly. You need to make sure that what's behind you represents your brand identity. So on the wall behind me, here on my books, but if I turn and leave you spring about video incenses you have your office of your complete disaster that I changed my office around today and behind on the other side of my computer is a complete disaster, but you don't see it because you only see what's in the frame. But if I turn this, I said, well, I'm going to turn this and maybe this is a little shop. Okay, well, that's not disaster, it's not messy, but it's completely distracting because you see a picture of my girlfriend, the wall there just staring at you in your ridiculous she's a chemical processes that create a life that also which is quite fast it's not gonna reset. Okay, it's pretty close. And so you want to make sure that set behind he was good and the young have cats running back and forth you take you know you like your phone over here might float, my phone is applied and my iphone is off so you're not going to get those kind of interruptions those disturbances you want to make sure that you closed down all the other applications on your computer? Make sure nothing is eating up that band with the reading under processing power because that will slow it down. So this is from the newbie mistakes that we see or for example, you don't wear head for and then you get feedback. So these are some of the basic mistakes that we see. Know what number two aa lot of filler disperses begin. We see azuma sake do. When we were kids, the way that they started a t show was with the credits and it's. So long, you know, like conscience john driving down highway, you know? And then they go in, they rest so guy know they do this whole thing, there's the credits, and then the show starts. So you always knew I could turn it in. Doc, you tune in five minutes late and I'd be fine, okay? That's, how most people that's all most people behave when they watch videos or listen telecenters, because the assumption is also gonna really start right away. The host is going to do two minutes of high who's here, blah, blah. There it is, then it yourself okay, so now that here's how you do the do the pole and then here's how you do this and then did it not a minute before there's a conker if there's anything that actually history so can you start off on something really powerful before anything else you know this hold the old guys you tell him where you're going tell him tell him tell him what you told it makes perfect sense you can get to that in the video but it's not how you have to start it doesn't have to start that way so when you provoke a women are you say look get there on time because in the first two minutes I'm going to be teaching this revealing this demonstrating this showing you this make sure you are there on time because you don't wanna miss it and so as soon as the clock strikes snakes and twelve about whether she's the clock starts twelve you start with that big big giveaway and then you can go into other things always now watching to a pole now in the poll here's how you do it then you teach some more then you might say so let's see who's here do you see you create contrast by changing the way people expect the format to go and that's why there really are no rules the performance job artist's job is to bring the rules that's what you're trying to do break it so who said that women are has to start out way who's here wearing from who decided that who decided that you're supposed to do housekeeping and begin housekeeping just means oh, I don't have to pay attention so break it up changing get people introduce themselves in the middle or quarter it or even three courses or even at the end so at the beginning you catch their attention so the beginner does they create all this pillar of the beginning that's not really necessary and then it doesn't get going the reason I mention the tv show because we have now most tv shows start off with that as soon as the tv show airs, the murderer acts or, you know find out who's been cheating on who or whatever it is and you don't want to miss that it's the it's the most important part that episode and then the rest of the episode unfolds and some shows don't even have anything in in the middle accept anything the beginning except that opening and then like a title aside that's basically the title maybe a star's name the popping a few bill will overlay a few names over the rest of the action, but there's no official title sequence at the beginning so from what I've learned from michael port, we should murder someone at the beginning of our video on that will make them powerful great, bringing it online video for years michael we would love to give our audience here a chance to ask you a couple questions do you mind? Yeah, absolutely great. Fantastic. Anyone in the room have a question here for michael about on screen presentation anything like that? If not we've got some questions coming in from folks online questions everybody except with heart that I miss you man so hi, michael do you have I host a webcast like a web interview style webcast? Do you have any examples that you could give us a ce faras creating contrast during a interview style uh video podcast? Sure so there's different kinds of conflicts there's content contrast there's delivery contrast that's good there's an emotional contrast and then of course there's physical contrast what was the last one physical, physical, physical, physical so when you were when you're planning these interviews one of the places one of the I would suggest starting with content contrast so that the way that you interview them is not as linear as owners may do for example you might want to try you might want to bring out a very personal story from that then you might want to switch right into very specific teaching. I need to know these three things from you mr guest and then you might go back into social story that they're very proud you see so you keep you keep him on your toes he changing it up I think that one of the things that happens and I do a lot of areas I feel the interviews with the same over and over and over again I also think that was the big difference between professional uh diane sawyer type interviewers and and, you know, streaming interviews podcasters, et cetera is the dying stories of the world are alas, you are not you personally but let's just say you asked a question, you don't get the answer that you're looking for, you just move on to the next but you got it don't let him off the hook keep pushing keep driving did did did some things we don't want to do that because we think, well, I rude or you know I'm looking at his guests because you know, there are big star gassed or something, but you've got to make it a great interview for the people at home you have to care more about the people at home, then how your guests feelings this's this is important when when you ask him a question, so tell me a story about you know, you know how you got into this business in the biggest challenge that you face well, often they're going to give you the stock and well, these challenge I have beginning what's getting clients and you know, when I figured out my special system for no it's a stock answer we said no come on honestly like was there a time you couldn't pay your bill? Did you ever want to quit? Did you ever cry when you went to that? She wouldn't feel like you didn't going deeper and deeper deeper because there are very few people that don't have riel oh emotional death and if you if you push them and you get him to go there they'll share but if you just keep just glancing over just glancing over just claims you are you're not going to get so that's that's contracts to keep moving back and forth between different types of questions that'll elicit different types of responses so we reached people intellectually we reason emotionally be reached and physically and so that's where we start and then again on the delivery I really think you can ask your guests to do things physically you can ask him to stand up, turn around, think about a question and then turn around and answer why not? And then what what is he doing what's he doing what's next what these can turn around? Yeah, so? So I just I just encouraged not to follow any rules you know, try push, push, push, push, push, push, try anything that comes to mind don't worry that much about the guest worry about your audience at home I would love to ask a question from somebody watching at home right now in fact because we care about the people who are watching at home uh question from jan do you need to be careful about too many facial expressions or is it okay to just do what comes naturally when you're speaking right into the camera yes if you're not expressing this is what you look like so happy to be here you look thrilled I look like a serial killer not really my serial killer love that that's why I don't that's why I smiled I used to think yes it's gotta be you naturally you don't want to hold yourself back I mean you noticed that I don't know myself back I worry about being perfect you know I'm getting questions here that I don't plan we've planned out questions with blue I don't like to plan our presence because I think it's still there so you think of something it's gonna be really good and I'm gonna think of something else it's not gonna be as good oh but then I'm gonna think of something else down good and I keep finding keep working and trying to get to and your eyes will go into your office would like to see you work to try to figure out the answers that you're looking for, but if you hold yourself back you're not giving in our choppers to give there's the business advice that is often are that you should rehearse in front of a mirror. Okay, that is the single worst piece of advice I had ever heard thinking that if you're sitting in front of a mirror, you're getting back a mirror image, your exact expression while you're saying something and then you're supposed to respond to that it's impossible to do it's literally not figured only because it is literally impossible to do. All it does is make you anxious. I don't use my left ear is higher than my right those little people and she's all I got to cover my rounds, you know, this is where you start picking and what and when you're doing videos, you should think about how you look like we got a fire on a guy I don't like that side of my face loads from my hair wasn't her, then your dog, you are talk video is not gonna work it's just not gonna work because you're thinking about yourself, you're obsessing on yourself, you can't more about yourself than you do about the audience so that's number what I can tell you the second worst piece of advice, if you like, also, but but I also want to make sure that you never hold back because the performers job is to be transparent. The first job is to share how they feel that's why they're up on stage or in front of the camp that's why they're there so one of your guests was doing a creative life and it was after her second session I was watching it not under gets on one of your teachers was doing a bit of black I know a lot of folks who are created life's I love watching what they do because it's just so exciting every time someone created life just upped their game to another level I think it's fantastic and she said she said a number of times are okay just are you gonna share again and you tell a personal story is incredible personal story and the audience loved and have him or crime but then she apologized for saying she's gonna share again so I tested it I said your jobs to share that's why they're there so you can't hold back being afraid that you're gonna share too much that's why you're there that's everyone that you want to know the second worst piece of the bus any performers ever been given yeah cause here it is second worst piece of advice never give is to think of the audience maybe if you're nervous I didn't do that by the way think about this for a second you're supposed to think of your audience naked if you are nervous this advices given all the time you're supposed to I think I know they're just regular people who're supposed to make me laugh I'm sorry, but if you were thinking about the audience naked or even in their underwear, you're not thinking about what you are there to do and I'm pretty sure it's gonna make you more uncomfortable because I was thinking about all of you guys naked this gorgeous as you are and you're comfortable every thinking about something else now the truth is it's the performer who is named metaphorically speaking there are some performers who are literally naked that's a different type of performance metaphorically you're the one who's naked and that's why you're nervous, that is why you're nervous you are there to be exposed, whether it's on stage or in front of the camera and if you're willing to do that, even if you're just teaching content courses, you know it's easy to separate so well, I was talking about, you know, really deep stuff I was talking about, you know, some kind of reform is on another level and that's, exactly right? I am talking about t stop performing something that well, because you can't go to that, you can step it up to that if you just think, well, I'm just here to do you know, here are my three things you can learn to do desperate there's, lots of videos there they're perfect like that you'll do a lot of years that perfect like that but you may want to step it up a little bit you may want to connect with an audience emotionally not just technically from the expert's perspective connect with them emotionally how to do that and that's that's what you want to work toward that's why you're here maybe we have time for one more if that's okay if michael's good with it if you hear the michael so we've spent a lot of time today talking about off camera techniques where you're using video or animation or something like that too uh display information and what things you talked about was voice over so do you have any thoughts on a being expressive with your voice and for people who for example are producing how to type content demos of making arts and crafts etcetera how when you're just narrating something how do you make that interesting so important? So when I was an actor I was also a voiceover artist that's what they call us voiceover artist is we stand in a booth all day long saying the same thing for example I used to do the voiceovers for broad so I stand literally all day in a little booth going brought smartly and do you make it a little bit more right? Okay braun smart thinking yeah I mean it's just all day long you know, just it's kind of I t one hundred calling t the pizza you got so many peaches you do something different every day, so many pieces one great deal coors beer nt these rocket jocks super bowl you know, uh, any home guard music I do this all the time and you really are making love to the mike you really are and in microphones now pick up such subtle tone in your voice, but at the same time you want to work on casing, you wouldn't work on varying tone and pitch you want to use rhetorical devices because you're trying to people to live, so pitch is very important and this is why in the creative life course I taught for you guys, we spent a number off set sentiments on voice pish speech because if your horse stays montel the stays in one place like this the whole time that you're reading it it's going to get very, very boring over time. But if you use a lot of vocal variation even when you're telling that smack talking falsetto and then a little more that's all we're talking about a place its range that you're looking for that's number one, number two pace often a speech coach will tell you to slow down and I understand what they're suggesting I think work most people find resonates more makes more sense to them is the idea of pausing more sometimes I'll speak very quickly and I won't harm because I'm trying to get to the thing that actually makes sense it's because I pause after I see something that doesn't make any sense then you have time to think about the fact that it doesn't make any sense so you're something trying to run over there until you get to the thing that needs to land and then you wait and then you go back again and you are really so you're trying to find the speed to speed the speed you're moving towards something you're moving towards something moving toward something moving towards something that bad you hit and then they wait for and also now I'm using a different sound of my voice but then so you're constantly again contrast is what keeps coming up now the next this speech because if you have a regionalism that is strong me and dialect from within the us some people either may have trouble understanding what you're saying or they'll just connect from you because they don't have a lot of experience with that particular regionalism that particular dialect doesn't mean that you should change it necessary because you're regionalism maybe adore me just fought like louise got his grain accent from new hampshire, you know, so you know it sounds like my grandmother from boston he's a sweet hot I'm talking about so long and it's and it's adorable, but sometimes people are used to when they have a hard time understanding. Now, of course, if you're from another country and trying to speak english, and you have what's called accent, then you really need to work on your speech, because people will have a hard time understanding you're trying to keep up with you all the time. They're not getting the residents that are going to get the content that you're trying to share with. So you're working on both of those things now. Also, when you're doing voice overs, what do you think about your closes? Your freak? It is that these different sounds that we use when we speak. So most of the microphone over here, over behind the computer, the day pop filter on the front, so when I say pop, it doesn't explode overwhelmingly to the mic for you, we're gonna work on our team is so they don't splash too much, so I'm is a tongue tongue in there, you see there's a big difference, you know, those two or if your s is whistle, if you whistle, I can't whistle glasses because I don't recognize it, but if you whistle your asses in, that is something that people keep hearing in the voiceover it'll start to become were welling to that, so part of when your partner your development your skill development as a performer from the camera or on stage is to work on your voice is to work on your speech so you have more control over it and then of course the sounds you make influenced the way people feel the word cut is very different than the word love so we want to use the shots we will use them to people feel what we're saying so I say I say I talked myself is they're different than I love myself was it two very different sounds and he will make you feel a particular way and as a result your audience will also feel that way all right, I want to say a huge thank you to michael for joining us this was amazing let's give a round of applause thankyou on of course if you do want more information about public speaking he did do an amazing course here on creative lives and of course michel don't tell people where folks can find you online sure you don't michael port dot com but you can also go to heroic public speaking dot com and you can get fifty tips oh how to be a better public speaker and in those tips there's even a actually it's not there but there are actually no I don't think it is I can't say this because I'm not sure and I don't like saying something there was not, but I do know that there are fifty tips there free download free. But you can get that and I guarantee have tips this I can promise. Have you never heard so that's? Public speaking dotcom, get yourself that book in. Enjoy. All right, thank you again. My god herself. A wonderful arrested today killing. Do we want to do any other wrap up questions of maybe take away? I'd love to hear one of your final thoughts on the day what we've talked about so far, they'll be fantastic. Yeah, well, it's been great and you guys have been such a wonderful team to work with and good questions. Ah, good interaction. I appreciate it, and yet we've talked a lot about goals. I know, like I said it first, some of that stuff is like gold man, I got to work, but the more you do up front and the more you understand that that foundational stuff, the easier everything else is going to be. And we talked about off camera videos, my personal favorite kind of videos with some pretty cool tools are going to share some more with you in the next session that I'm just going to blow your socks off. Some of this stuff is unbelievable. We also talked a little bit about obviously with michael about performance on camera and that was really kind of an eye opener even for me ondas somebody that does a lot of webinars and does a lot of sort of behind the scenes stuff. It's interesting to see how you can use that small area on the screen and still be really compelling, so I'd like to also hear back from you guys on, you know, sort of any key takeaways or ah huh? Well, how do we say it in boston? Ah ha, moments that you may have had. So the only thing that I have trouble with was his voice not matching the exact words so that's why? I think video would be a little bit easier for me to watch it's hard for me because I'm so visual I want his lips to go exactly the same as this words are coming out and for some reason there's a little delay there and that's that's the only thing that minor limits of the technology you know, with google hangouts and things like that and that's always gonna happen. And I know it's for some people it's just maddening, but, you know, again, if we focus on the content, I'm kind of like hearing yes that's stuff so good yes, great it was great now he was awesome well I didn't know you could do so much with google hangouts I'm really excited about that because I you know I love doing weapon ours and I mean tio take to record a google hangout make mp three put it had to go directly the youtube your youtube channel I find that all amazing so I was really happy about that content you make sure you hook up with john because he's staying out king thank you anybody else funds for today yes I really appreciate lou's simplicity and to not make this really bigger than it needs to know because I'm not that bright just to go off that I thought the pacing was excellent it wasn't overwhelming I think it's easy to overwhelm people with content like I tend to do that when I speak you have talks and stuff and I thought you painted the broad picture enough so that we could see the whole thing and and not be punching holes in us with a lot of overwhelming karan thank you thank you and I have to give props to the creative life focus as well when they really help me structure this so that it wouldn't be an avalanche of information once job tony I just really appreciate the a variety of options that you're providing us with so we can do things they're going to be speedy in easy ways to create and build on personal connections and also consider the the more in depth possibilities and the bigger projects as well. Thank you think. Tony did cem hypnotherapy on me last night so that I wasn't nervous.

Q: How to catch ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID in javascript The Web Application I am developing needs to fetch data from a number of different IOTs within the local network, e.g.,
const response = await fetch("https://192.168.0.245/api/auto/login", options);

Since it is an https connection, and each IOT carries a self-signed SSL cert, therefore, the fetch() above will throw an error "TypeError: Failed to fetch" (since the cert has not yet been accepted), and the application will show the following in the browser's console
OPTIONS https://192.168.0.245/api/auto/login net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

What I need is to be able to catch this error in javascript. Specifically I need to be able to catch different errors like ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID, ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR or ERR_CONNECITON_REFUSED... etc. so I can show different error messages accordingly.
Unfortunately the fetch() function always throw the same "TypeError: Failed to fetch" exception under all these three different errors above.
Is there anyway I can catch this specific ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID exception?
Thank you.

A: I looked at the fetch pollyfill code, which should function the same as the native browser implementation (though the error messages are different). It doesn't include information about the specific error encountered. There are two lines that throw TypeErrors and they both look like this:
reject(new TypeError('Network request failed'))

So you just get an error message and no other information. And looking at the documentation for TypeError, you don't get any extra information beyond what's available with a simple Exception. TypeError is what the spec requires to be thrown in this case.
You might be able to find another library that reports errors more specifically. I searched around a bit, but it's hard to find out whether a library has that feature just from documentation. You'll probably have to try them out and see what kind of error reporting they provide. Here are a couple options:

*

*axios

*superagent
Or you could try implementing a solution using XMLHttpRequest directly. The fetch pollyfill code is a good starting point for that. You could fork that project and add some console.logs to see what kind of errors it reports.

A: If Your Internet connection is not secure then may b it will give this error.means it is not https.
Or you can remove ssl Certificate from your server side. so your request format should be like "http://192.168.0.245/api/auto/login".

LXXXII. (1) R. Isaak Napḥa said Haman worked cunningly against Israel, for it is written, 'And when these days
were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people.' 'The people' here referred to is Israel. Haman said to Ahasuerus, 'The God of these people hates lewdness, for it is written in the Torah, "Thou shalt not commit adultery."' He, therefore, brought together lewd women, and making the banquet for then, decreed that they should comply with any man's wish, so as not to give the accused the excuse of saying that they had been forced to do such a thing by a decree of the king. As soon, however, as Mordecai perceived this, he said to the people, 'Do not go to this banquet, that you may not be led into temptation.' But the Jews disregarded Mordecai's advice, and went.
(2) R. Levi said that 18,560 men went to this banquet, and ate and drank until they were intoxicated with the wine. Our sages say that while they were at the table of this wicked man, Satan appeared before God, and accused Israel in these words, 'O Lord of the universe, how long wilt Thou cleave to this nation, who turn their hearts from Thee, who forsake Thee, and separate themselves from Thee? Moreover, they do not turn to Thee in repentance, although the verse has been fulfilled in which it is written, "I shall scatter you among the heathen." Therefore, if it is Thy will, let them perish from the world.' But God asked, 'What will become of My law?' And he replied, 'Let it remain for the higher beings.' Then said the Holy One, blessed be He, 'My mind is satisfied to destroy Israel.' (3) At that moment He wished to blot Israel out of the world, as it is said, 'I shall cease to remember man.' 'What is this nation to Me,' said the Lord, 'for whom My sorrow increases every day?' And God said to Satan, 'Go, and bring Me a scroll, that I may write thereon their destruction.' When Satan went out to fetch the scroll, he came face to face with the Law, which came forth to meet him in widow's garments groaning and weeping, and at the voice of her weeping the ministering angels cried, saying, 'If the Israelites are to be destroyed, what is the use of us?' And they wept aloud, as it is said, 'The Arēlīm cried abroad, and
the angels of peace wept bitterly.' As soon as the sun, moon, stars, and planets heard it they clothed themselves with sackcloth, and lifted up their voice in lamentation, as it is said, 'The heavens and the earth clothed themselves in blackness, and girded themselves with sackcloth;' as it is said, 'I will clothe the heavens with blackness, and make sackcloth their garment.' Then they all exclaimed, 'O Lord of the universe, shall Israel be destroyed, who go from door to door wishing to study the law, observe the Sabbath, circumcision, and the commandments, and for whose sakes we were created? as it is said, "If not for My covenant, the day and the night and the ordinances of heaven and earth would not have been founded," and now shall they perish from the world?'
(4) At that moment Elijah went to beseech the righteous men of yore, the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and said to them, 'O patriarchs, do ye riot know that the heavens and the earth and all the heavenly host weep in the day, and cry in the night, and that the whole world is now like a travailing woman, while ye remain silent?' 'But why is this?' said they. 'Because Israel has been handed over to the slaughterer like sheep, to be blotted out from the face of the earth, and their name is to perish, as it is said, "Come, and let us destroy them."' Then said Moses to Elijah, 'Is there a righteous man in this generation?' And he replied, 'Yes, there is one, and his name is Mordecai, the son of Jair.' 'Then go, and tell him to supplicate continually for mercy, and I shall do likewise.' 'But,' said Elijah, 'Moses, O faithful shepherd, against thy flock the decree has already been written down, and now they desire to put the seal on it.'
(5) 'Notice,' then said Moses to Elijah, 'whether it has been sealed with clay, for then our prayers may still be heard; but if it is sealed with blood, then what has been decreed will happen.' After this conversation Elijah, of blessed memory, forthwith went to Mordecai, as it is said, 'And Mordecai knew all that had happened,' and when he heard this, he rent his clothes, as it is said, 'And
[paragraph continues] Mordecai rent his clothes.' Then said Mordecai before God, O Lord of the universe, Thou hast sworn to our forefathers to make their seed as numerous as the stars of the heavens, and now we are accounted for as sheep to be slaughtered. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants.'
(6) Then, gathering all the children of the school together, he afflicted them by depriving them of bread and water, and, clothing them in sackcloth, he placed them on ashes, so that they cried day and night, while the wicked Haman went to his house rejoicing, as it is written, 'And on that day Haman went home rejoicing, and with a merry heart, and calling his friends, said, "Thus and thus has Queen Esther done." And he told them of his greatness, adding, "But all this is not enough for me." And Zeresh, his wife, said to him to erect gallows for Mordecai, and it pleased him, and he erected a gallows. Cutting down a cedar from his garden, 50 cubits high and 15 cubits wide, he brought it out, and fixed it near his door, all the while singing praises and songs, and thinking in his heart that at the time of the reading of the 'Shema'' he would hang Mordecai thereon. On the same day that he fixed it, it fell upon him; but Gabriel replaced it in its position, saying to him, 'To thee belongs this beautiful tree, and for thee was it established from the creation.'
(7) Haman then went out to seek Mordecai, and found him sitting at the head of the children, while they sat upon ashes girded with sackcloth, lamenting and crying. Having beaten them with chains of iron, he appointed keepers over them, saying, 'First shall these be slain, and afterwards I will hang Mordecai the Jew.' Their mothers then brought them bread and water, saying to them, 'Eat and drink, my children, before you die'; but they refused, and, swearing by the life of Mordecai, they placed their hands upon their books, and said, 'We shall not eat anything at all, but shall die in our fast.' (8) After rolling up his scroll, each one of them placed it at his heart, and when the hours of the night passed by their lamentation was heard on high,
and the supplications of the patriarchs. The Holy One said, 'I hear the voices of kids and goats;' at which Moses replied, 'O Lord God of the universe, Father of the fatherless, and Judge of the widows, these are not kids and goats, but the young of Thy people of the house of Israel, who sit fasting now for three days and three nights, bound in chains of iron; but to-morrow they are to be slaughtered like kids and goats, while the heart of the enemy rejoiceth.' The mercy of God was then moved for them, so that He broke the seals, rent the decree, and frustrated the counsel of Haman and his plans, causing the salvation of Israel and Mordecai to spring forth, thus fulfilling what is written, 'I shall cut off the horns of the wicked; but the horns of the righteous shall be raised on high.'
Next: LXXXIII


You've probably noticed that your child's education, especially when it comes to learning and excelling in math, is a full-fledged process with many steps and strategies.
Some are concrete ideas: practicing math word problems regularly, taking on extra math worksheets, or hiring a tutor. Others have to do with your student's mindset, which we now know can be just as important as direct math practice.
Some students struggle with math concepts, and as you provide math homework help, encouraging the right mindset can take your student further when the going gets tough and they encounter harder math problems.
If your student can see the value in working through the problem, practicing, and improving, they'll likely put more effort into it and become more confident.
At Thinkster, we believe in the concrete ideas mentioned above and in the value of a math app and online tutoring programs, but we also believe in the small things that can improve your child's mathematical mind.
In this article, we've put together some ideas to help get your student in the right mindset for math homework help. Many of these things you can do at home with them on a daily basis, and they can be scaled up or down depending on the age and skill level of your child.
If you're looking for that something extra, we invite you to read on.
Some students may feel like math is unnecessary, and they don't understand how they will ever use these skills in the future. So it's important to show them how math is used in our everyday lives.
"Everything can have a connection to math, and math connects to everything," as this article from Scholastic points out. The articles goes on to say that all thinking involves mathematics – even if we don't always realize it. If you start looking for practical math ideas to share with your student, you'll start to see them everywhere, too.
You can use skip-rope jumping or climbing stairs to practice counting, drawing to learn about geometry and science, and so on. The grocery store is a great place to use addition and subtraction, and recipes are perfect for talking about the use of fractions.
While getting dressed in the morning, you can talk about the the number of combinations you have for mixing and matching your pants and shirts that you could wear. Counting can be used when brushing teeth – to count the number of times they brush left to right or up and down. Getting kids comfortable with solving these kinds of problems in an informal way will help as they tackle similar problems and equations in school.
While you are looking for more ways to show your student that math is all around them, you will also see that there are many creative ways to give your student math homework help if they're fighting against it. If your student finds regular math problems dry and unrealistic, try adding a little fun to engage them.
For example, let your student teach you what they learned that day in school or turn a math word problem into a short skit. Let them help you shop for and cook something based on a recipe. If your student is more competitive, turn math problems into speed trials or have them compete against you in math challenges. You can keep track of how well they do and use prizes as incentives. For the budding artist, use geometric concepts to give them ideas for drawings or challenge them to use a number of certain geometric shapes in an artistic piece.
The more fun your student has, the more engaged they will be in the work. They may even start to look forward to doing their math homework this way.
In a New York Magazine article from 2007, research showed how students respond to praise about how smart they are, and the results were somewhat surprising. Students who were praised for being smart did not put out as much effort on harder tests and gave up quicker than the students who were applauded for their effort when they struggled.
Whether your student has seen major growth through their math work or is still struggling, it's important to give them praise that is sincere and will help them perform better. If they spent extra time on math worksheets or made huge strides while getting math homework help, praise their specific effort on that. Tell them that you are proud of the extra work they have been doing, and that you know it will pay off for them in the long run.
Just as important as praise is the ability to deal with failure. As parents, we often work hard to keep our students from experiencing failure and sometimes this does them a disservice as they don't have the proper tools or strategies to deal with it.
Parents often want to ignore failure and insist their student will do better next time, but in the New York Magazine article referenced above, scholar Jennifer Crocker says this can lead children to believe that failure is something "so terrible, the family can't acknowledge its existence." Without the ability to discuss mistakes, your student can't learn from them.
Failure is inevitable, but learning to deal with it early can be a great life skill that your student can use throughout their life.
When your child is struggling with learning a certain subject, it's natural to want to push them to do better. This can have positive results when done the right way, but sometimes it can be better to let them take things at their own pace. Too much pressure can cause students to rush and stress over their math work, and this is not conducive to their efforts either.
Everyone learns in different ways and at different rates. Allowing your student to learn on his or her own time, along with math homework help from you or a tutor, can provide that added layer of support they need to excel.
Using some of the tips above to sneak math into daily life can be a great way to prod them into math learning without them even realizing it or feeling any pressure. Freedom to learn in the way that is right for them can be great for their mathematical mind and mental well-being in general.
Another way to impact your child's mindset in a way that is not directly related to math is to have them practice meditation and visualization. There has been a lot of research on the practice of meditation and visualization for success in many areas of life. Meditation can help calm the mind and lead to better focus and understanding, while visualization primes the brain for success.
The benefits of visualization have been seen with sports, and this can be carried over into classroom learning as well. The process involves creating a goal, visualizing yourself attaining that goal, and the acceptance of having what it is you are visualizing.
This can work for performing well on a specific test or doing better in class that day. It may seem silly, but encourage your student to give it a shot. You may be surprised by the results.
These are some great ways to get your student in the right mindset to tackle any math problem and tough concept they will come across in their math education journey. If you're working on the mindset side, we also recommend the more concrete side of math help: math homework help through tutoring.
Our technology-enabled math tutoring program can be scaled to your student's needs, and it even incorporates some of the tips above to make math fun and practical. We also have experienced math professionals available for one-on-one tutoring services for those who need more dedicated support.
We invite you to give our program a try for free through our 7-day trial now.
