3 Ways Chatbots are Transforming the Entertainment Industry
Artificial intelligence has transformed since it's early days as a science fiction fantasy. As the technology has continued to evolve, so has it's uses.
Today chatbots have become one of the most common everyday uses of AI.
In fact, 40% of millennials engage with chatbots on a daily basis and 80% of businesses are expected to integrate chatbot automation by 2020.
Chatbots originally were designed by companies as a basic means of communications with customers. Early adopters of the technology would mainly use it for retrieving phone numbers, storing email addresses, and addressing basic questions.
Nowadays the abilities of chatbots are virtually limitless as their use has expanded across verticals in nearly every field. The entertainment industry is no exception as leaders have become chatbot pioneers for using AI conversational technology.
Leveraging character personas, influencers/celebrities, musicians, TV show properties, films, sports teams, and more—entertainment brands can now see the value of a best-in-class, engaging experience for fans and audiences alike. By creating emotional and meaningful conversational connections, entertainment brands can create a sense of intimacy with users across multiple platforms.
In the entertainment world, chatbot technology has the potential to impact the industry in a number of ways including:
Enhancement of lead generation
Improved conversion for subscription services
Successful brand sponsor integration
Increased audience growth and engagement
The key is to develop an experience rooted in goals and leveraging a multi-platform strategy centered around engagement platforms such as messenger services, websites, voice assistants, SMS, MMS, and more.
Conversational understanding is the key to establishing trust between the bot and user especially when it comes to beloved character representations, artists/musicians, TV shows, movie franchises, and other forms of intellectual property.
Let's dive deeper into some ways chatbots are changing the entertainment industry.
OTT Customer Acquisition and Retention
OTT's (over-the-top) are streaming media services offered direct-to-consumer. Companies such as Netflix have placed OTT streaming at the epicenter of consumer entertainment.
In fact, 60% of Americans use streaming as their ideal method of entertainment consumption and this figure is increasing rapidly.
These types of companies are either subscription-based or ad-supported mediums that provide instantly streamed content at the touch of a button.
The number of OTT streaming services has increased immensely in recent years creating additional space for chatbot integration. The number of media options currently on the market or launching soon include:
NBC's Peacock
CBS All-Access
Apple+
PlutoTV and more
Although the number of media choices is continually growing, customers are beginning to experience signs of "subscription and service fatigue." As such, they will continue to evaluate which services are worth keeping and which ones will be canceled.
To help improve customer retention rates, OTT's have begun to search for impactful and efficient methods of retaining and increasing their subscriber and viewer base. Given current market saturation rates, people have begun searching for better access to immediate information as well as instant customer support.
Existing customers have stated chatbots are a preferred method of communication and issue resolution compared to alternatives such as emails and phone calls. Creating intelligently designed multi-platform chatbot solutions can help companies stand apart from competitors and help to increase business revenue as a byproduct.
Brand Sponsor Integration
Product placement has become king as entertainment companies are leveraging relationships with brands more than ever before.
According to recent research, 71.4% of product placements occurring on television are paid. Growth rates have doubled as it has become a multi-billion dollar industry designed to help increase brand recognition with specific target demographics.
Some of the entertainment conglomerates currently integrating brand sponsorship include:
Gaming publishers
eSports and more
Entertainment companies have developed sophisticated and impactful methods of integrating their brands in various content platforms that resonate with consumers better than traditional direct advertising. Think how the judges for The Voice all happen to have the same brand of drinking cup.
Entertainment content elicits emotional connections with audiences and brand partners want to maximize this relationship with consumers.
Chatbots and voicebots represent a tremendous opportunity to add value to brand sponsor integration. Chatbots have the ability to deliver a variety of multimedia assets including GIFs, images, HD quality video, audio files, custom emojis, and more.
These brands can choose to directly sponsor entertainment events or go the route of discrete product placement surfaced directly within the content as we discussed earlier.
Brands can even use specific messaging techniques through direct conversation flow i.e. texting a hamburger emoji to unlock a burger chain offer. The possibilities related to brand sponsor integration are virtually limitless.
Engagement Enhancement and Audience Development
The entertainment industry has always relied upon engaging content that resonates with audiences. From the early days of gladiatorial combat to the CG technology presented in theaters today, consumers have always used entertainment as a temporary escape from their daily lives.
New shows, films, music, video games, and sports all vie for competing attention on a daily basis.
What's more, is that the attention span of people is diminishing at an all-time high rate.
As smartphones and social media platforms have invaded our daily lives attention spans have decreased. The average human has an 8-second attention span today compared to twelve seconds in the year 2000.
In order for entertainment content to stand apart, marketers need to innovate by creating personal conversations with fans to help drive product awareness while increasing engagement.
Fans seek instant gratification through entertainment specifically optimized for mobile platforms.
Social media, messaging platforms, text messaging, websites, and devices such as Amazon Echo and Google Home all contain conversational interfaces for brands to leverage. New and innovative connections between fans and content can be developed within these conversational platforms.
Entertainment brands use beloved characters, stories, and worlds for fans to engage with. Conversational interfaces provide a massive opportunity for brands to interact with their patrons. The problem is the chatbot experience must come across as authentic, trustworthy, and engaging while retaining a sense of intimacy.
Chatbots have the unique ability to provide a new level of storytelling and immersion previously unseen with other forms of technology.
How Imperson Has Changed the Game
The success of AI chatbot technology can be measured in numerous ways. A few of the metrics Imperson has helped quantify include:
Unique users per platform (e.g. voice, messaging, websites, SMS, etc.)
Voting and polling performance for live events, reality shows and more
Overall bot engagement time
Number of messages exchanged
Content engagement (e.g. videos, pics, GIFs, audio/voice files, etc.)
Leads generated
Sentiment analysis and meaningful connections
Re-engagement rates
Valuable data can be retrieved through the continual measurement and monitoring of bot performance. Developing a feedback loop based around performance and the ability to update your bot can help create an experience fans and audiences will enjoy alike.#bloggingtips #WixBlog

Following my Star Wars lightsaber series I tried a bit different approach this time and instead of highlighting the lightsaber I made the character main act.
I chose Kylo because I think he will be my new favourite character. Its known very little about him, some even say he might be the son of Han Solo and Leila. But for sure we know he is powerful sith with extra ordinary lightsaber, he joined the knights of Ren and he worships and idolises Darth Vader.

Q: Excel VBA, Sort Dates via list I am trying to sort a list of Sales Orders (on a pivot table) and filter to find the entries that are scheduled to ship on a holiday (a list of ~12 dates).
Considering this pivot table is Dynamic, but the list of dates is not, is there a way to apply these filters via a VBA macro, so i do not have to do so manually?
I have tried using the Macro recorder, but it just sets all of the existing dates to
actual list came up much, much, larger
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SalesOrders").PivotFields("Due Date")
    .PivotItems("2/28/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("5/22/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("7/17/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("7/18/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("8/7/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("8/16/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("8/19/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("8/22/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("8/28/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("8/29/2019").Visible = False
    .PivotItems("8/30/2019").Visible = False

End With
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SalesOrders").PivotFields("Due Date")
     .PivotItems("5/25/2020").Visible = True
     .PivotItems("7/3/2020").Visible = True
     .PivotItems("7/6/2020").Visible = True
End With

This doesn't really work, because the dates will change...
I'm not really sure how to progress, any help would be welcome.

A: If you can add a new column to your data, you won't need to use VBA, you can get this incorporated in your pivot table. Add a new sheet that contains only the dates of the holidays in one column and True in the second column. Then add a new column to your Sales Order data and in that column use the Vlookup function to see if the date in your Sales Orders date is found in the list of holidays. You can add this new column to your pivot table as a filter. The screen shot below shows an example.

Supreme Court justices grilled by high school students in Winnipeg
In: News, News/Canada/Manitoba
Supreme Court justices were on the hot seat Monday, facing a barrage of tough questions from Winnipeg high school students on issues ranging from First Nations land claims to the essence of legality and morality.
At Miles Macdonell Collegiate — one of nine schools that got visits from a justice Monday — an auditorium full of teens grilled Justice Russell Brown, joined by Manitoba Court of Appeals Justice William J. Burnett.
"Are we getting any softballs this afternoon?" Brown joked, after a student stepped forward with a question about consensus and conflict between Supreme Court justices.
The nine Supreme Court justices are in Winnipeg this week to meet with the public and hear two cases; the first time in the court's 144-year history justices will hear a case outside of Ottawa.
Each justice also visited a Winnipeg high school on Monday.
"It was incredible. I was really surprised and really shocked," said Sara Mueller, 16. The Grade 11 student at Miles Mac helped organize Brown's visit.
"They haven't left [in] 144 years, and now they're coming here? Crazy."
Mueller said she's considering law as a career, and wants to see an overhaul of the family law system.
"Honestly, I just want everybody else in our school to have a good experience," said fellow organizer Lochlan Lubinski, 16. "That's what I want the bottom line to be: I want everybody to learn at least one thing today."
The Winnipeg visit is part of an effort to make the Supreme Court more accessible to Canadians. Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner told reporters on Monday morning he insisted on visiting high school students to engage the younger generation. The justices will also meet with Indigenous, Métis and French leaders.
Ahead of the Q&A at Children Of The Earth High School, Grade 9 student Cornelius Kakegaemic said he'd like to see an Indigenous justice.

"It would be pretty cool if a First Nations person could make it up to Supreme [Court] judge," the 14-year-old said. "We're all equal, right? So why not have a First Nations person up there?"
Wagner told reporters earlier he'd welcome more diversity.
"It's a question of respect. I think that Canadian people should see themselves in their courts and in the Supreme Court. If only for that reason, I would hope that one day we would be able to sit with a colleague of Indigenous origins," he said.
In its history, the court has had 79 male and 10 female justices. It has never had an Indigenous justice.

Children Of The Earth Grade 9 student Crystal Garson, 14, said she hoped to ask Justice Andromache Karakatsanis about the court's thoughts on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
Karakatsanis later said the students asked excellent questions.
"I think they probably will think a little bit more carefully next time they hear about the Supreme Court of Canada or about a case or a belt law. I hope I sparked an interest," she said.
"They've clearly done a great deal of thinking about it."

The lure of backcountry fishing isn't simply the fish, but where the fish are — remote spots, accessible only by foot, canoe, or kayak, with nary a car or camper in sight. This essential guide has all the information backcountry anglers need to fully prepare for both day trips and longer excursions. It covers the necessary equipment, plus repair and maintenance; types of watercraft; campsites and cooking; safety; a list of fish and where to find them; and much more.
1. Food, where food is plentiful and easiest to catch — minnows, crayfish, insects, etc.
Yep, food and shelter, just like us!
While floating downstream on a river you should be constantly scanning the forthcoming water for holding spots, where a fish will be waiting, in search of a tasty morsel coming its way. Don't worry so much about spooking the fish by boat as you would by foot, canoes and kayaks glide over the water and are much less obtrusive than a motorboat.
When casting toward the shore, try to get as possible to the nexus of land and water. At the shore, fish will think that your offering may be a bug or something that has come from the land, such as a grasshopper, as well as potentially being something that lives in the water such, as a minnow. Try to get a little bit of an arc while casting so the lure will plop down on the water, alerting the fish of potential food. However, don't arc it so high that its landing will scare the fish away. Sometimes, low branches and such prevent the ideal presentation. Other times you may throw a little too far and hit land — go ahead and pop your lure back into the water and continue your retrieve.
Before casting, look for underwater obstructions, such as rocks or fallen trees. You will want to throw your lure to avoid these obstructions, but you want to cast your lure near the obstructions to take advantage of their fish holding potential. When casting as the boat is floating downstream, you must calculate the speed at which to retrieve the lure with the speed at which the boat is floating downstream, while simultaneously factoring in these water structures. Do not cast somewhere that will force a retrieve through fallen trees, or over exposed rocks. You will likely get hung and if you catch a fish you won't be able to get it back to the boat. An ideal cast would plop the lure down within 1 foot of the shoreline, in front of where you think a fish might be, not on top of its head. A fish will strike something presented in front of it before it will atop it. If a fish doesn't strike immediately, begin retrieving your lure on either side of the obstruction, whether it be a rock or log. Each side of the obstruction, whether upstream or downstream has its own advantages. When a lure that is being retrieved on the upstream side of an obstruction makes the curve to get around the end of the obstruction this is where a fish from behind the obstruction will strike, making an ambush. If you are retrieving your offering on the downstream side of the obstruction the fish will be more likely to see your lure and can also strike then. Be very careful when casting your lure onto the far side of a log — if the fish strikes you will have a hard time pulling it over the log with ultra light tackle normally used by backcountry anglers.
Other times you will want to stop the boat entirely to fish. This is often done at a rapid. Once safely through the rapid turn the boat and eddy out as soon as you can find some still water. Then cast into the rapid, or other still water areas adjacent to the moving water. If you are catching fish and having a lot of action be patient and work the area thoroughly. It may be the highlight of your day.
A good cast doesn't have to be long to be a good cast. Whether you are in an eddy or moving, look for fish holding areas close to the boat and don't be dissuaded from tossing as close as 5 feet away for a fish. Remember that placement of your boat to get yourself in the right position is as important as placing your lure in the right spot. The stern paddler should always be thinking about keeping the boat the proper distance from the shoreline and also looking downstream for potential hazards as well as potential fishing spots.
Fishing on foot is an entirely different story. You always want to fish upstream on moving water. This way you are coming up from behind the fish, therefore all fishing techniques assume wading upstream. The general wade fishing technique can be broken down into three steps: approach, position, and presentation. When wade fishing you are stalking fish, just as the fish you are stalking are stalking their prey. Wear clothes that blend with the environment. Try to be as quiet as possible when working upriver. Always look ahead to see where you think the fish might be, then work your way upstream in order to not give away your presence. When in the water move slowly, making the least amount of turbulence. Try to stay on the edge of pools, so your reverberations will not reach the fish. Do not stare into where you think the fish might be. I fully believe that creatures can sense one another's presence. And your presence can be given away by focusing too hard on where the fish is. Instead, size up the pool then appreciate the surrounding scenery until you are ready to make your cast. Here are some other approach thoughts: stay low — the higher you are the more likely a fish can look up to see you; avoid disturbing overhanging tree limbs and brush — the movement of this vegetation will put fish on alert; stay behind the fish — if you walk to the head of a pool then fish downstream then fish will be alerted to your presence.
Once you have made your way to a good fishing hole, look for the best spot to drop your lure, then find the best position to make the cast. Does your chosen position have good footing? This is important because when you hook a fish you don't want to slip and fall. Are there obstructions in the way such as limbs overhead or beside the stream? Can you make multiple casts into multiple potential holding spots in the hole from the position? Can you land a fish from your spot? Can you get your chosen spot without alerting the fish? All else being equal you want a relatively shallow spot adjacent to a gravel bar or dry land of some sort, a place without any nearby vegetation obstructions and a place where you can maneuver around in case you hook a big one. Do not fish from atop a high rock — you can't get a good cast in the water and the fish will see you as well.
A good approach to a good position should be followed by good lure presentation. Look over the fishing hole and make your first cast your best one to the best spot – the money cast. The biggest fish will be occupying the best spots in the pool per the pecking order of fish size. After your best first cast you can then try to cover all the other potential areas. By the way, if you think a fish is in a certain spot and it didn't hit on the first cast , try again, but most strikes will occur on the first cast.
When casting remember that fish will be holding on the edges of moving water or in deeper holes looking toward the moving water for a tasty morsel to float by. Therefore you will want to cast your lure into the moving water then run it by the places where fish may be holding, such as the downstream side of a rock, amid a fallen tree, or the base of a deep pool. For warm water species you can cast directly into the still waters with more success.
In general, while retrieving a lure I will reel slightly faster than the flow of the current. However, you may vary the speed your reel within one cast, reeling slow in a slower section then as your lure crosses a faster section speeding up your reel. If the fish aren't biting, vary your retrieve, alternating fast and slow to make the lure rise toward the surface, then dip down back toward the bottom, in jig fashion. You may want to work some lures slowly, or in a herky-jerky fashion, to replicate a wounded critter, which means easy pickings for game fish! And if you see a fish following it speed up! This is the natural reaction of prey to a predator and if you slow down, waiting for the fish to bite it will sense something is wrong and give up the chase.
Fishing is a numbers game. The more casts you make the larger number of fish you will catch. You can definitely catch fish with the less than ideal catch. Be active to maximize results. Fishing is also a mind game. Believe you are going to catch fish, believe in your techniques, expect to catch fish. Be confident. Those who expect to catch fish catch more fish than those who don't.

Dr George Musgrave (1921 – 9 February 2006) was an elder of the Kuku Thaypan clan and a famous Australian bush tracker.  He was an Agu Alaya speaker.
.
He was born in his own country, near Rinyirru National Park. As children, he and Tommy George Senior were hidden in mailbags by the station owner, Fredrick Sheppard, to avoid removal by police and welfare officers.

As a result, they were able to grow up with their own people, and learn traditional law and language, management practices of their country and how to live off the land. Recently, they were able to successfully claim continuous ownership of traditional lands, and retain custody of some land at Gno-Coom (Saxby Waterhole).

George's senses were so sharp he could follow a week-old trail through dense scrub at night.   He could identify tracks that were up to two months old.  In August 2005 he was asked to track an off duty policeman who had become lost while pig hunting.  Despite being 84 years old, he found the man in less than a day.

He also worked as a community policeman and musterer.

Together with Tommy George Senior, he founded the Ang-Gnarra Aboriginal Corporation at Laura, Queensland, the biennial Laura Festival of Traditional Dance and Culture, the Traditional Knowledge Recording Project and the Cape York Land Council.

They campaigned to protect the world-renowned Quinkan rock art near Laura, where they carried out custodial duties for special places, including the rock art galleries.

They shared their knowledge of the bush, their language and their customs with researchers and visitors.  It would be difficult to find a piece of scholarly work on traditional language, culture or country in Cape York Peninsula that does not credit their expertise.

In 2005 he and Tommy George were each awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters by James Cook University for their knowledge of traditional Aboriginal Law.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday at the White House.
Scully retired last month after spending his entire 67-year career in the booth for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He turns 89 on Nov. 27.
Scully is one of 21 recipients of the Medal of Freedom announced Wednesday, including NBA Hall of Famers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan.
The award is the nation's highest civilian honor, given to individuals who have made meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the U.S., to world peace or cultural or other major public/private endeavors.


The historic, local African-American Episcopal congregations: St. Philip and St. Thomas, having recently merged–and looking for a new home–procured the services of 4RM+ULA to facilitate this process. 4RM+ULA led them through a comprehensive visioning process which challenged the century-old congregations to unite by (re)defining themselves and exploring who/what they endeavor to be in the next century.
This process led the congregation in several unexpected directions–ultimately guiding them to the decision that the individual parishes would collaborate on a selecting a site for–and building a new facility to house their new, collective entity.


ISLAMABAD: Chairman Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) Lt Gen (retd) Muzammil Hussain Monday informed the Senate Standing Committee on Water Resources that the Mohmand Dam would be completed within a period of five years through latest technologies.
Briefing the Senate body, the Chairman WAPDA said that the proposed time for the completion of dam was 5 years and eight months which would be reduced.
"Unfortunately, the project has been halted for the last 50 years and 9 cases got registered against the Government of Pakistan for constructing Mohmand Dam," he said, adding, "All of the cases have been finally decided with verdicts in favour of the government."
The dam has gross capacity of 1.9 million acre feet (MAF), live capacity 0.67 MAF with power generation potential of 800 megawatts (MW) and annual energy production of 2862 GWh.
However, the dam had command area of 16,737 acres, the chairman WAPDA added.
Referring to propaganda against the dam over the media, he said that it was falsely reported that WAPDA issued tender of the project through single bidding process.
WAPDA clearly went for open competitive bidding, Hussain asserted.
During the presentation by WAPDA, it was revealed that the bidding process was held from November 23, 2017 to June 26, 2018. Almost 23 firms purchased bidding documents, 15 attended pre-bid meeting, 10 firms visited the dam site and only 2 firms on Joint Venture submitted bids for the project.
"The tribal people of Mohmand Agency deserve great applause and appreciation for their cooperation and enthusiasm for the dam," the WAPDA chairman said.
"They asked the officials to start work at the project as soon as possible and even proposed that they do not want compensation for their lands."
He said that 40 percent local engineers would be hired to work on the project whereas 60 percent expert engineers would be incorporated from around the world.
"This will help in capacity building of our skilled youth like fresh engineers and graduates of local universities and will also assist in fortifying indigenous technical manpower," Hussain remarked.
WAPDA officials further briefed the Senate Standing Committee that Chiniot Dam was proposed at an ideal location for flood mitigation in the area at Chenab River.
"The main objective of the dam is to cope with inundation occurring at the upstream areas," the officials said.
It was also being built due to having 0.9 MAF water storage capacity, 80 MW power generation potential, domestic water supply, ground water charge, recreation tourism and socio-economic development of the area objectives, they mentioned during the presentation.
The officials informed that three alternative sites were under consideration as its concept paper PC1 has been approved and PC2 was under process. They added that the process would be expedited to get the project initiated without any further delay.
On the PSDP releases for Noulong Dam, Ichar Dam and Machura Dam, the allocated and released funds were not compatible for in time development of the projects which should be assisted by the Planning Commission, they suggested the Senate Body.

About Jamgön Tenzin2019-08-11T12:52:43+02:00
Awam Gesar Monastery follows the great Padling lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and works under the compassionate guidance of H.E. Khenchen Lama Rinpoche. Rinpoche is the reincarnaion of an important Terton (treasure revealer), Padma Dagnag Lingpa, who was the reincarnation of Nubchen Sangye Yeshe, one of the five main disciples of the great indian master, Guru Padmasambhava, the second buddha. Nubchen Sangye Yeshe was the founder of the Yogi lineage of tibetan buddhism.
In early 2018 H.E. Khenchen Lama Rinpoche had an auspicious dream in which he saw a vision of a wonderful monastery, established in the country of Slovenia, Europe. Rinpoche said that there is the right karma for that and that it will greatly benefit many sentient beings in Europe. Rinpoche is an accomplished Dream Yoga master and his visions are always correct.
Rinpoche has given the monastery the name "Awam Gesar". Awam means union of wisdom and compassion. Gesar is the name of the victorious enlightened King Gesar of Ling in Tibet and a powerful Dharma protector, a Nirmanakaya emanation of Guru Padmasambhava.
Following his compassionate advice, Rinpoche's faithful students in Slovenia succesfully registered Awam Gesar Monastery in June 2018 as a Buddhist community at the slovenian government (at the Office for Religious Communities).
Rinpoche very kindly visited Slovenia in April 2018 and compassionately bestowed upon members of Awam Gesar monastery and other attendees many precious empowerments and transmissions of H.H. Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, his predecessor's (Padma Dragnag Lingpa's) and his own termas, spiritual treasures, from this lifetime. Following Rinpoche's advice, we started organizing weekly group practices and meditations in the capital city.

One of my beliefs about the education is that teaching is built on a delivery based model. If teachers take certain steps the learning will happen – an educator's version of Field of Dreams. Often the result is a focus on having students assimilate into the teacher's class environment.
I subscribe to the exact opposite approach. Teacher's should accommodate student needs as the focus of the classroom environment.
Below is a quote from a parent whose child benefited from my effort to be hyper responsive to her daughter's instructional needs. The child had veto power over any activity or strategy I attempted. If what I used didn't work for her I would try something else.
"Working with Randy has been life changing for my daughter.
Math was her biggest source of frustration and no matter how hard she worked it never made sense. Teachers would tell me she was 'doing awesome' but she was really just following steps without understanding any of it. I thought she was going to go through life unable to even buy a candy bar without being taken advantage of.
Ask employers what skills are desired in graduates and you will not see academic competence at the top of the list. In schools we talk about creating life long learners and similar qualities but the major focus in the 7+ K-12 schools in which I have served is academics, or more appropriately grades as a proxy for academic mastery. Add to this the focus on exit exams for graduation and you see major disconnect between the desired outcomes and the focus.
I have taught math at 5 colleges or universities and have seen first hand students struggle with content but also with independent study skills. Manchester Community College in Connecticut conducted a survey of students and asked students to cite reasons why students struggle in their classes. The second most commonly cited responses by students themselves is that students don't know how to study (see below). In high school we talk about study skills. Teachers will share they expect students to be independent but often the focus is on academic mastery and not the study skills.
At Manchester Community College I serve as an instructor at a highly successful (based on objective outcomes) bridge program for first generation students. A major emphasis is a focus on student academic discipline with a mantra that discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment (see below). Learning how to BE a good math student, especially academic discipline, is as important as developing the prerequisite skills to be successful. This could be a major focus in the IEP for students who have a goal of college or post-secondary training..
I have posted on how to effectively provide support for current math topics. Here is an example (below) of how support can focus on both the current topic and prerequisite skills.
For example, on the 22nd in this calendar the current topic is solving equations. The steps for solving will include simplifying expressions and may involve integers. The support class can address the concept of equations, simplifying and integers which are all prerequisite skills from prior work in math.
This approach allows for alignment between support and the current curriculum and avoids a situation in which the support class presents as an entirely different math class. For example, I recently encountered a situation in which the support class covered fractions but the work in the general ed classroom involved equations. Yes, equations can have fractions but often they do not and the concepts and skills associated with the steps for solving do not inherently involve fractions.


(Egg: weh, weh, weh) Oh little Eggwin, what's the matter?
(Egg: weh, weh, weh) Oh little Eggwin, are you sad?
(Egg: weh, weh, weh) Perhaps you'd like these teeth that chatter?
(Egg: weh, weh, weh) They always seem make me glad!

How Serious Is Global Warming?
Category: Nature, Chemistry, Fuel, Climate, Atmosphere, Global Warming
This report will cover Global Warming and its effects on people. Also, this report will look at different ways that Global Warming affects humans as well as animals. This research report will cover climate change, greenhouses gases and evidence to support Global Warming.
There is a lot of evidence to support the Global Warming; however the significance of the source depends on the reliability of the source.
One of the most reliable methods of collecting data to show Global Warming is ice-core dating. Ice cores are samples dag up from accumulation of snow and ice over a period of time that recrystallized and trapped air bubbles.
Measuring temperature of the Earth's surface with thermometer can only provide data for past two or three centuries. Another sources of information about the past, is studying peat bogs or dendrochronology. Plants produce pollen in vast amounts, and each species of plants has a distinctive type of pollen. When looking at peat bogs. Differences between species and between the ecological conditions needed to flourish best, their pollen allows scientists to determine temperature and humidity levels of past years.
Tree ring analysis is also used by scientists when looking at Climate change. Each year, tree produces new layer of xylem vessels. The diameter of xylem depends on the season2. The width of the tree ring can tell the scientists about the growth of the tree. This evidence is reliable as tree is dependent on the environment, the temperature and the humidity.
All methods produce reliable data, however validity of the evidence can be questioned. The validity depends on whoever carries out the research. If the research is carried out by a private company (e.g. (BP) British Petroleum) will show only some of the data the most reliable to the question or to prove a certain point. The most reliable researches are carried out by independent companies or universities.
The solar radiation in form of light waves passes through the atmosphere. Most of it is absorbed by the earth and warms it. Some of the waves are reradiated back into space in form of infrared waves. However, some of the Infrared radiation is trapped by the Earth's atmosphere and it warms it. As the composition of atmosphere changes and it thickens, more infrared radiation is trapped causing the raise in global temperatures.
In natural cycle the concentration of CO2 in the air should equal the composition of carbon dioxide in the soil. However human activity changed that by releasing extra CO2 from the fossil fuels into atmosphere. The natural cycle is out of equilibrium and can not get rid of the excess of the gas.
Causes of global warming
One of the main causes for the Global Warming is human activity. The human needs and populations becoming lazy caused everything to be computerized and the energy use is great. To supply great deals of energy more fossil fuels are burned and more greenhouse gases are given off to the atmosphere. Also the lack of commitment of human race to healthy life styles caused the car manufacturers to increase the car production in recent years. Everyone wants to own at least one car, but they don't think about consequences of that. Many more cars cause a lot of emission of CO2 into the atmosphere.
The raising temperature causes more water to vaporise, which leads to more UV light being trapped by the atmosphere, therefore the increase in the average temperature. The increase is around 1oC, which could suggest a fast increases in surface temperatures.
Environmental Implications
The increases in the concentration of greenhouses gases in the atmosphere, the possibility of acidic rains increases. Acid rains are caused by emissions of compounds of ammonia, carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. The below diagram shows the damage to the European Forests caused by Acid rain and Air pollution.
The data shows on the above diagram was collected in 1988, which means that by now there would be more damage made to the European forests over the past 20 years as the concentration of gases increases in the atmosphere.
Economic Implications
As the climate changes and the surface temperature increases, the food companies may find it tricky to grow crops in certain parts of the world where they did before. This means that rice for example may not grow in Asia and this may lead to big scale starvation. This could also be seen as a social implication to the Global warming.
On the other hand, car industries may have planned rises in sales. There are two reasons for that. One of them is the fact that everyone now want to own a car, however that will only increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in air. Car industries are coming with new ways of overcoming the CO2 emission and are producing hydrogen powered cars. Many hybrids have been designed by many different car manufactures, however they are not widely available for public use as they are more expensive than the petrol powered cars.
Prevention of Global Warming
To help prevent Global Warming, the emission of Carbon Dioxide has to be lowered and emission of other greenhouse gases. One of the ways in which gas emission can be lowered is use of renewable energy sources.
One of the powers that we could use is solar power or wind power, however in England there is a problem with solar powering as there is not a lot of sun and it is not reliable. Many hot countries in the developing world, for example countries of South America could use sun light as their source of energy. However when using sun light energy, back up batteries or generators are essential as sunlight is not a reliable source of energy. In the UK not many houses are solar powered as the installation of PV cells is very expensive.
It is important that the developing countries lower their gases emission and start to use renewable sources of energy as the consumption is going up along with the CO2 emission. The industrialized countries are around 24% of world population and use about 75% of energy. Along with that they account for 73% of CO2 emission in the combustion of fossil fuels. Meanwhile, it is projected that energy consumption will increase primarily in the developing world related to the population growth and the ongoing industrialization in the future.
Another way of lowering carbon emission was introduced by the car industries which introduced hydrogen powered cars. In hydrogen combustion water is given out when hydrogen is used as a fuel. It can be seen that Global Warming is a serious issue even to the government, as the mayor of London decided to have 8 hydrogen powered buses by 2012. It sound like it is not a lot but still developing hydrogen powered engines are very expensive.

The news of Susan's death was for me a shock; as the progress reports posted here and my telephone calls with Andreas had been so full of hope.
But I have deliberately kept my distance from this thread of supporters, preferring to deal directly over the telephone or through personal e-mail with Susan and Andreas. I was fortunate enough to have known Susan first hand. Nevertheless, I understand the love and support she most gratefully received from this group.
I had been of such a mind set that Susan would pull through the operation, that I had been planning ways for her to fill her time during her recovery from the transplant. She would have been holed up in a foreign apartment in Los Angeles until she was able to return to Sacramento. Being a voracious reader like myself, I concluded that the girl needed cookbooks. Susan loved cookbooks. She would take them to bed with her to read late into the night and early morning. Rare was the time she left my house without a few of cookbooks under her arm to take home to read.

Senate president apologizes for saying salary can't fill petrol tanks
by Alice Boyd September 28, 2011
Colombia's Senate president, Juan Manuel Corzo, publicly apologized to the country Wednesday for complaining that his monthly salary of $11,500 was not enough for him to be able to fill up his two cars with petrol.
Corzo sparked a controversy with his statements in defense of a proposed gasoline subsidy for members of the Senate, saying that it was necessary because it was "physically and economically impossible, with our salary, to pay for the gasoline of two cars."
The senate president publicly announced to the press, "I made an improper statement, which has caused me to apologize to the state and of course to the Colombian people."
Corzo also made the apologies on his Twitter page, despite having condemned Twitter users for making negative statements against him on the social networking site in regards to his support of the gasoline subsidy. Corzo went on to say, "my words produced an affront to the Colombian people in general and for that reason in particular I will not make use of the gasoline subsidy."
An ongoing protest against the Senate leader, known as the "Corzoton," continues to demand the resignation of Corzo over his controversial statements.

Victoria Coren Mitchell - Blog - Only Connect! Back! Monday! The 13th!
Only Connect! Back! Monday! The 13th!
Yes, tomorrow night. Or tonight, if you're reading it tomorrow. By which I mean today. If it's yesterday, all I can say is: I hope you have iPlayer.
Anyway, the new series of Only Connect starts on Monday 13th May in its usual 8.30pm slot on BBC Four and continues for… dammit, I can't work out the number of weeks. Normally, I can calculate backwards from the number of episodes you'd need to make to turn 16 teams into one set of champions. But this time round, the series has a NEW TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE, which I will be explaining at the beginning of the first episode. I hope. I shall be tuning in to listen to myself, and see if I can understand how it works.
Like University Challenge? - with the repechage for those losing for the first time. That would make 14 with a 3rd place playoff.
Excellent first prog. Surprised when you appeared to pass over the chance to comment on testicles then delighted that you didn't disappoint. Ridiculously happy to get two questions and ¾ of one wall.
Simple. And if you've printed out the diagram as a kind of World Cup Wall Chart, tonight's show was 'B'.
I prefer the new system which is not as complicated as it looks. It never seemed fair when a good team got knocked out by an even better one in the first round, and you also get a rapport going when they make multiple appearances. It's a variation on the Swiss system where you always play a team with the same record as you in the next stage and guarantees that the best two teams will in theory at least both make it to the semis.
The spectacles question derives from an old Jewish joke.
Jan, how can you get three quarters of a wall and not the final quarter?
Thanks, DavidB. To put it simply once you've won two matches you get to the semis, once you've lost two you're eliminated. If you win and lose or visa versa the last match is effectively a knockout quarter final.
I didn't get one chuffing question right. I was so furious that I had to go and have a bath.
It says in the Radio Times that there's going to be further series in the Autumn - are you able to confirm this?
Hi Tim. Yes, this series is slightly shorter than usual, but there'll be another one in the autumn after a summer break.
You always look great and Weir great clichés. Where do you buy them from.
Excellent as usual. Great show.
Have both series already been recorded or are will they be recruiting for series 8?
Hi Applicant. Both of this year's series are full I'm afraid - but we will be looking for more contestants for next year's series, probably in the autumn, and I will certainly advertise the search on this site when it starts.
Loving the show as always and really liked the dress you wore in last nights show. Where did you get it from?
Great programme; been watching from the first series. Now, have the questions become easier in this series? I seem to be getting a lot more correct! I'm pretty sure they are. There was one tonight where the fourth in the series was 'biennial'. That was ridiculously easy. It could almost have been a question on the Weakest Link! Tell me you have dumbed down ... please!

International Mack Brings That East Coast Sound

Moral Thinking is critical of mainstream academic ethics for being pretty nearly stuck on Kant and Mill, for neglecting nonviolence (Gandhi and King), for nearly neglecting the women's movement (it is not yet central to most ethics texts and courses), for largely neglecting the anti-racism movement (also marginal in academic ethics), and for almost totally neglecting the anti-imperialism movement. Moral Vision suggests an integrated approach that includes these often-neglected elements and also recognizes aesthetic and experiential dimensions of ethical reflection. This book will be of interest to anyone wondering what philosophy may contribute to our contemporary struggle with conflicting values and value collisions, personal as well as cultural.

10 Most Stressful Quests, Ranked
The recent release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's next-gen update has given many fans the perfect reason to dive back into the game, including the plethora of unique quests it has to offer. While this RPG isn't on the scale of something like FromSoftware's Souls-like games in terms of nail biting challenges, the nature of several of The Witcher 3's quests and the difficulty options available can make them tense affairs.
That can mean anything from tough boss fights to difficult story decisions to make and everything in between. The Bloody Baron's portion of the story is an excellent example of the latter, while the DLC expansions have some characteristically tough monsters to beat.
10/10 Collect 'Em All
Having fun, addictive minigames within the greater game itself has long since become common practice in this medium. In the case of The Witcher 3, it's the surprisingly engaging card game Gwent. But in a similar vein to player shunting down riddles and trophies in the Batman: Arkham series, the side quest "Collect 'em All" is easily one of the toughest and biggest stressors in the game.
RELATED: 10 Best Games Set In The Wild West, According To Metacritic
As the name implies, it tasks players to hunt down every Gwent card in the game. That alone is enough to incite the ire of completionists, but things get even more grueling considering that there's no in-game way to check which cards Geralt does and doesn't have.
9/10 Jenny O' The Woods
The Witcher 3 begins to truly open up to the player when Geralt of Rivia arrives in Velen. And while there are many compelling main quests to progress through, there are some equally captivating side stories, including the DLC quest The Witcher 3's next-gen update includes.
"Jenny o' the Woods" is an early-game side quest that tests players' early mettle, tasking Geralt to quell a wraith from ruining a village's fields. The titular wraith herself deals some heavy damage for such an early quest, heavily incentivizing players to learn how to properly use the Yrden sign to exploit these monsters' natural weaknesses instead of brute-forcing their way to a kill.
8/10 A Towerful Of Mice
For as grim as it is, "A Towerful of Mice" is one of the best side quests in The Witcher 3. It perfectly fits into the dark fantasy world of The Continent and plays with supernatural European folklore. This quest's stress comes twofold: a rather tough boss fight and a brutal decision to make at the end of it.
As with any wraith, these can be dangerous for newcomers – and those playing on high difficulty – as these monsters can easily sap Geralt's health. Likewise, as with many compelling quests in the game, it requires making an imperfect choice when deciding to accept the wraith's deal or reject her – along with the fallout it results in.
7/10 Carnal Sins
In the world of The Continent, Geralt of Rivia effectively functions as a detective in his duties as a witcher, as well as a tracker. And in "Carnal Sins," players must be at their sleuthing best to uncover the identity of a serial killer running around the medieval urban jungle that is Novigrad.
RELATED: 10 Things To Do In The Witcher 3 Players Don't Discover
It's not stressful in the conventional sense, but where that factor certainly kicks in is in what choices Geralt makes along the way. Someone attempted to murder Priscilla, though she was not the first victim. If certain wrong choices are made, the killer's identity will never be discovered and can prematurely end the quest.
6/10 For The Advancement Of Learning
Following up on "A Towerful of Mice" is the side quest "For the Advancement of Learning." This is another one of the side quests in The Witcher 3 that injects stress through tough decision-making. After joining Keira Metz on the former quest to uncover the secrets of Fyke Island and what led to its demise, she reveals that she was always after the sadistic mage Alexander's experiments to try to buy her immunity from the mad witch-hunting King Radovid.
There, Geralt is faced with the choice of trying to stop her or be lenient with her. One path leads to the monster hunter having to fight and kill Keira, while the other would make her an ally at Kaer Morhen for the greater fight ahead. It's another shining example of how The Witcher 3 is an RPG with some of the best side quests available.
5/10 The Whispering Hillock
Phillip Strenger – better known as the Bloody Baron – is far from being the most likable of The Witcher 3's cast of characters, but he's certainly one of the most tragic and well-written. In "The Whispering Hillock," Geralt finds a mysterious tree spirit hidden in a cave that's been driven there by the Crones of Crookback Bog.
Decision-making is another key component in this story's tension, as whether Geralt chooses to help or kill the spirit can result in several gruesome ways. An incredibly high-stakes affair, this will indirectly decide the fate of the orphans in the bog, the woman who cares for them, the residents of Downwarren, and the Baron himself. What's more, the outcome of the Baron's side story also depends on when players take on this quest.
4/10 Return To Crookback Bog
Naturally, after the main questline moves on from the Bloody Baron's bleak corner of Velen, Geralt can still see through the finale of his and his estranged family's story in the side quest "Return to Crookback Bog."
RELATED: 10 Best Medieval Fantasy RPGs, Ranked By Metacritic
Once again, having Geralt make the right call in this story makes this an intense development from start to finish, and depending on what players chose in "Whispering Hillock," they're already locked into certain events transpiring. In one of the darker outcomes, Geralt and co. discover that the Baron's wife has been turned into a water hag and the witcher must choose the right doll that's possessing Anna to free her.
3/10 On Thin Ice
In the second-to-last quest in The Witcher 3's main questline, players will need to deal with two difficult boss fights back-to-back. The aftermath of the Battle of Kaer Morhen left the band of heroes devasted and physically exhausted, and "On Thin Ice" throws the two highest-ranking members of the prophetic Wild Hunt.
First, players need to power through Caranthir – the second in command – and almost immediately follow up with Eredin, the final antagonist himself. It's a mentally draining but immensely cathartic fight, especially for those that challenge themselves by playing this quest on Blood and Broken Bones or Death March difficulty.
2/10 Evil's Soft First Touches
Among several other things, The Witcher 3 was widely acclaimed for its DLC expansions. Both Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine were so rich with content that they arguably could've been their own standalone games. And as such, it brought a new batch of pulse-pounding quests.
Evil's Soft First Touches is the first quest to kick off the former expansion, and once it takes Geralt to its main area, it will pit players against a variety of tough enemies. The Toad Prince is one, with the massive frog constantly evading Geralt and dealing out poisonous gas, along with a mage that deals powerful ranged magic.
1/10 Scenes From A Marriage
Later in the same DLC expansion, Geralt of Rivia is given the final challenge from Olgierd von Everec — one of the main characters of Hearts of Stone. He needs to find the violet rose Olgierd gave to his wife Iris the last time he saw her.
It's a true final test, as "Scenes from a Marriage" imposes a high level of grit that will demand players to prove their stamina. This has Geralt fighting against a series of difficult beasts, namely the demonic Caretaker and the Wraith from the Painting; Iris herself. The regenerative abilities of both are enough to get the heart racing.

Truth: I struggle a lot with my self-confidence. I've been really having a hard time lately, and I know why. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gave me a lot of coping tools that help me sooo much, but sometimes, you gotta dust off your tool box, if you know what I mean.
Beyond the Beauty: The great news – Exercise has been proven to help with depression. The tough part – When you have depression, you lose all desire and motivation to do ANYTHING, even the things you love and the things you know will help you feel better. It's like a catch-22.

Cyberbullying has gained a considerable amount of media attention in recent years (Kowalski, Limber, & Agatston, 2008). However, little is known about the details of cyberbully/cyberbullying victim relationships within the lived experience of victims. This phenomenological study investigated the origination and manifestation of the cyberbully/cyberbullying victim relationship. The study is phenomenological in order to examine the origination of the cyberbully/cyberbullying victim relationship and how the relationship is manifested in the lived experience of participants who were cyberbullying victims. The study examines the impact of the cyberbully/cyberbullying victim relationship from the theoretical perspective of Vygotsky's (1986) sociocultural learning theory and Maslow's (1943) hierarchy of needs. Research questions investigated the origination of cyberbullying from the perspective of the victim, strategies used by victims in coping with victimization, and the manifestation of cyberbullying online and in physical and psychological settings offline. Qualitative data were gathered through Second Life interviews, Twitter blog entries, and Second Life focus groups and analyzed to determine the impact of cyberbullying on eight recent graduates in rural Georgia. A hermeneutic approach to phenomenology was used in order to bridge the communication gap between students and educational administrators created by the rapid rise of information technology. The findings of this study indicates that cyberbullying arises from damaged relationships and causes strong emotional reactions in a vastly different holistic reality misunderstood by most educational leaders due to a generational divide.
