Carmelo Anthony agli Oklahoma City Thunder: opinioni e sentiment dai social

Carmelo Anthony agli Oklahoma City Thunder: opinioni e sentiment dai social

Per battere questi Golden State Warriors serviva un miracolo (o quasi). La strada da recuperare per molte franchigie era molta e d è forse per questo che abbiamo assistito a una estate scoppiettante lato trade. Lo scambio Irving-Thomas, Chris Paul dal barba Harden e l’arrivo di Paul George ai Thunder sembravano già sufficienti, ma il bello doveva ancora arrivare. Abbiamo dovuto aspettare il 24 Settembre per assistere alla magia di Sam Presti: Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott e una futura seconda scelta per Carmelo Anthony.

Uno sconquasso che porta prepotentemente in corsa per il titolo il team guidato dallo scorso MVP, Russel Westbrook e che rende una vera guerra la prossima Western Conference. Una trade che non poteva che generare molto rumore sui social. ma per questo, come al solito c’è Social Bar Sport.

La trade di Anthony: volumi e temi

13.783 i post sulla trade dal 24 Settembre, giorno della stessa, ad oggi. Il picco massimo è stato proprio il 24 Settembre con 4.657 post realizzati.

Analizzando i contenuti in Twitter troviamo subito contenuti molto interessanti. L’account con più menzioni non è quello di Carmelo o dei Thunder, ma bensì @wojespn, ovvero Adrian Wojnarowski, non un semplice giornalista, ma un vero guru del mondo e dei rumors NBA e primo a dare notizie della clamorosa trade.

Lato top hashtag al di là dei prevedibili #nba sono quelli delle due squadre coinvolte (#thunder e #knicks) e dei giocatori a farla da padroni. Interessante la presenza di #nba2k18, legata al celebre videogmae sul basket Nba 2k. La presenza dell’hashtag si giustifica con la comunicazione della presenza nel gioco di Carmelo già con la nuova maglia.

Lato Instagram invece sono Carmelo Anthony e i Thunder le principali tematiche. Qualche segno anche di NY e tanto basket completano il quadro.

Tra le tematiche protagoniste dei contenuti postati rilevanti quelle legate alla trade (es. Melo to Thunder) e i riferimenti alla nuova squadra (i Thunder) e alla strutturazione della trade stessa. La presenza di ESPN si spiega con il già citato Adrian Wojnarowski. Presenti anche gli Warriors, citati dai più in una rivalità per il dominio a West che fa già immaginare sfide epiche.

Topic che si ritrovano anche nella word cloud, ovvero le parole più utilizzate nei post sulla trade: i giocatori coinvolti e le principali realtà giornalistiche sul mondo NBA.

Anthony- Thunder: il sentiment sulla trade

Nettamente positive le opinioni degli utenti social sullo scambio: ben il 47% dei contenuti ha un sentiment positivo. Il 45% neutro è motivato dai molti contenuti (e condivisioni degli stessi) a tema informativo (news e giornali). Solo l’8% dei contenuti è negativo, per lo più legati ai dubbi sulla coesistenza positiva tra i nuovi big3 dei Thunder e sulle grosse lacune in fatto di difesa e panchina che la squadra ha.

Trend positivo che ha continuato a resistere ben oltre la data della trade, rinsaldato dal rinnovo di Russel Westbrook (e in cui la rade di Melo ha certamente influito) e sulla prima prestazione di Carmelo in maglia Oklahoma.

Colin Kaepernick protest as seen by the American Social Networks

Colin Kaepernick protest as seen by the American Social Networks

The name Colin Kaepernick probably sounds completely new to anyone who doesn’t follow American Football… Or maybe not? Colin is (or better, he was..) a professional player in the American League, an extremely popular sport on the other side of the ocean. Colin is not just a player: he is a quarterback, the most important for famous teams like the San Francisco 49ers. A player capable of pulling his teammates to the 2102 Super Bowl and, even if the team lost in the end, he performed like a true leader during the game.

‘Times change though and, in the few years, Colin’s glory days seem to have ended for a number of injuries and strategic choices that nowadays prefer QBs who don’t throw the ball that much that eventually made him a ‘free agent’, meaning a player without a contract. However, the element that changed his personal and professional life the most that the social protest that he is conducting since the 26th of August 2016. Coli, before a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, decided to remain seated during the American national anthem, a sacred moment in the US. A form of protest that has now evolved and that makes him listen to the song on his knees to protest, according to him, the lack of respect towards the colored population. During an interview with the NFL Media he explained:

I won’t be standing to demonstrate my respect for the flag of a country that oppresses the black people and other ethnic minorities. For me this more important than football and it would be selfish to look on the other side. There are people killed on the streets and people who get away with it.

The continuation of this protest has fired up the hearts of a country that in recent times has seen a worrying increase of racial attacks, and that has found much approval as well ad heavy criticisms. On one side there are people who see in Kaepernick a hero who is giving voice to many, and on the other there are people that can’t forgive him the disrespect towards the flag and therefore towards the Country.

However, here at the Social Bar we like to talk about web.

kaepernick: the volume of online content

5,353,656 posts have been published on the subject, a clear demonstration of the interest generated by the topic. Amongst these the majority of them (1,437,814) were published in the first week from the beginning of the protest but, even if in smaller numbers, the Kaepernick topic has been alive all year and still a source of debates.

If we look at the actual words used in these conversations, word cloud can give us a pretty insight at the themes connected to Kaepernick’s protest.

The strong presence of terms such ACTIVISM and OPPRESSION already offer a sense of the overall debate, showing how Kaepernick’s topic goes well beyond football. Also interesting the presence of a Twitter account @daviddtss. David Dennis Jr. is a famous activist for civil rights who supported straight for the beginning Colin position on the matter. @daviddtss appears thanks to the sharing of some of the pro-Kaepernick tweets like:

David’s support has eventually reached a boycott of the NFL and everything connected to it until Colin won’t find again another team. Many believe (and many off-the-record comments from managers seem to go in this direction) that NFL teams are intentionally staying away from Kaepernick because of his activism outside the field (and because of the pressures from the controversial Donald Trump). It’s difficult not to agree with this opinion as many other less talented players than Kaepernick seem to find sign contract much more easily

If we analyze the situation with Twitter, one of the bigger channels regarding volume, we find that Kaepernick and NFL’s accounts are obviously the most mentioned but we also have a few surprises. In fact, we can find out how the president Donald Trump – in an open dispute against the player after Kaepernick expressed not-so-positive opinions towards him) and Stephen A Smith, a TV sports journalist also very harsh towards Colin and his intention not to vote for the presidential election.

Amongst the top hashtag, very interesting is the presence of #blacklivesmatter that shows immediately the background of the protest and the intention to defend the civil rights of citizens of color.

Also among the most retweeted content, we can see many pro-Kaepernick posts, especially one from Chuck Moiano, famous journalist and sports fan.

and another one from Shannon Sharpe, ex-Football champion who posted the video of an African-American, explain how this phenomenon is the origin of Colin’s protest.

kaepernick: social sentiment

What’s the social media sentiment towards Kaepernick and his battle? Analysing the content from the beginning of the protest till today we can see how the users seemed to be fairly divided but with a slight prevailing sentiment pro-Kaepernick (37%). The content against Kaepernick’s position is around 29%, a clear but not overwhelming minority.

The figures seem to be very similar to the ones at the beginning of Kaepernick protest, even if the positive content was slightly higher at that time

Over the course of the months, Colin’s protest has been analyzed by many other journalists and established commentators that increased the number of more neutral content.

kaepernick: geography and demagogy

The US states more involved in the ‘Kapernick’ social media debate are obviously California, 49ers’ state, Texas and New York

From a demographic perspective, men seem to be interested in the conversation probably given by the environment of this debate.

It’s harder to analyze the data From an ‘age’ perspective as it has been possible to establish this only for 17% of the content taken into consideration. Having said that segments more involved in the conversation (40% of the total) is the 35+ (predictable given the complexity of the issue) followed the 31% of 18-24 (very active on social media). However, the distribution of content seems pretty spread quite evenly without particular picks

High Street: Accessorize Dog Wear Collection

Some of you might be aware, I've kept it fairly quiet (!!) but I've got a new dog - a Maltese called Lopez.  I've turned into one of those crazy pet owners, he's like a child to me.  To be fair, even hardened Mafia criminals would struggle not to give in to his white, fluffy charm...  He's now 14 weeks old and has discovered barking and weeing on the mat by the door.  I stumbled across Accessorize's pet collection at the weekend and bought Lopez the jumper on the top right.  He looks ADORABLE in it and I absolutely love him it.  He seems to quite like it too...

Here is the rest of the range, there is also a Santa Claus outfit for Christmas - which I will obviously be buying in December.  Yes, I am officially a crazy dog lady.  Buy them in most Accessorize stores, starting from £8 - absolutely bargain and a great gift for the dog owner who has everything!

  • Theme(s): Children’s Rights
  • SDG(s): 4. Quality Education, 9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, 10. Reduced Inequalities
  • Types of ComSec Solutions: Solution
Hello World Kids Kawa News

Problem: Despite rising demand for computer programmers, the Kingdom of Jordan lacks effective mechanisms that bridges the gap between technology and education for children.

Solution: A curriculum and an online learning platform that teaches computer programming to children and adolescents between the ages of 4 to 14.

Goals and objectives: To inspire and develop children’s skills through learning computer programming, which will build a strong base for future innovators, spur ideas, development solutions, entrepreneurs, and employment opportunities.

Implementation: Inspired by the personal experiences of its founder and CEO Hanan Khader, whom at an early age of 10 was captivated by the transformative potential of computer programming in translating her youthful thoughts into functioning projects.

Decades later, Hanan had grown to become a very skilled programmer and renowned tech expert but was taken aback by the limited computer education her own children were learning at school, which led her to wonder “why aren’t children being taught skills that can help shape their future?”. Upon further investigation, Hanan discovered that the existing computer pprogramming languages were unsuitable for children as they were too advanced for kids to learn effectively (e.g. Python, JavaScript) while the simple programming languages created for kids are very basic and limited. She also identified the gap in skills set of school teaches usually caused by market forces where the experienced and qualified programmers are working in the private sector while school teachers were left with outdated technology and limited experience.

With rising demand for programmers, Hanan embarked on a journey to capture new concepts in technology and apply a cutting-edge learning methodology, creating a collaborative environment that evolves into a large community of little innovators equipped with tools for programming, problem solving and analytical skills. In 2015 Hanan established the first educational organization specialized in teaching Computer & Mobile Programming for children between the ages of 6 to 12 named Hello World Kids.

By focusing on five essential aptitudes: computational; logical; analytical; critical and creative thinking, Hello World Kids teaches kids coding in a simple straightforward way, kids also engage in open discussions and learn the proper etiquette and manners during the process. Exciting, thrilling exercises and activities encourage the children and stimulate their creativity. Kids essentially advance in the technological field in a safe and proper manner.

HelloWorldKids has further developed an online personalized learning platform called HelloCode, that teaches programming through a storytelling approach and cartoonish episodes, aligning programming with international educational standards using an innovative methodological approach. HelloCode enable schools and parents to subscribe online, and get access to the digital interactive curriculum, including exercises and collaborations. Every lesson is available in web and mobile formats, to allow students to watch lessons, practice programming, and create their own little programs.

Achievements: Hello World Kids has been recognized as a valuable resource and methodology to teach simplified computer programming for kids. Over 5,000 children in Jordan and Lebanon have acquired programming skills through the curriculum and its integration from 2017 in partnership with the Jordanian Ministry of Education as a core subject in over 70 schools across Jordan has enabled over 36,000 children to enroll in programming lessons and propelled Hello World Kids success.

Hello World Kids has founded the annual National Little Programmer contest - first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa that brings together students from schools that adopted the Hello World

Kids curriculum to compete in programming events in order to motivate and build awareness to the importance of programming.

Hanan Khader has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and Cultural Affairs as a Leader in Technology at TechWomen organization and has represented Jordan in many tech events in Silicon Valley.

Authanic Wire

Pike fly fishing has come on in leaps and bounds over the years, when I first started out there was probably only half a dozen people in this country doing it, I was looked upon and a bit strange on my local pits and rivers at the time with the usual comments of “oi mate no trout in here” and “mate you’ve got a budgie on your line” indeed you had to have a thick skin back in those days to be a pike fly fisher

Now all these many years later nobody bats an eyelid to the pike fly fisher you’re more likely nowadays to get an interested angler looking over your gear and asking questions which is really nice.
And the biggest question I always get is to my leader set up , back in the early days we used pretty much standard pike dead bait traces without the hooks opting for a cross lock swivel instead of nasty trebles  , then we started using fox soft steel wire to make our traces which was ok but you did find they suffered from chaffing on the wire from fish and you’d have to change it quite often , then the titanium revolution happened and to be honest it was great stuff until you discover that it acts like a cheese wire on the fish and if a fish takes a fly deeper in the mouth then you’re going to slice up its lips so that’s now been binned (saw it happen once to a lure angler not nice) please don’t use this for fly fishing it’s just not good for the fishes health .

We then had the range of wire from America hit these shores by forward thinking fly anglers , things like pro leader , surflux etc. , but even these came with their problems , being expensive to start with and most of the time when I used it I found that it was a bit to shinny in the water although it probably doesn’t mater to the fish , it bothered me as an angler as I was sure it was off putting to the fish I may be wrong but that was my general thoughts and I ended up colouring the stuff with black marker pens to take the shine of it  ,

This obviously aunt the ideal thing to do as it takes a lot of time and is a pain in backside , so I have as of the last few years been vie been using fluorocarbons in the 90 to 120lb range for most of my pike fly fishing and before the “you can’t do that” brigade start I can tell you I did not lose any fish to bite offs with this method , but and it’s a big but , I always had in the back of my mind it could happen although it never did and at the time it was top of the tree where traces were concerned for pike fly fishing .

That was until I came across Authanic wire , I was quite amazed at the quality of this trace material it handles like a braided line which makes it completely knot able which is really quite incredible just check the video on the bottom of the page , ive now  around 20 + fish on the same length of Authanic wire and to date I have not needed to change any part of it through chaffing of teeth something that with normal wire can’t be said as I know I’d have to change it after a few fish that was just the way of wire , this really is a breakthrough material when it comes to trace material and I can’t think of any product out there that is better than this stuff you may think it’s expensive but actually its bloody good value for money as you can catch multiple fish on a length without having to change it so it actually works out better value than wire , if you haven’t tried Authanic then give it a go and it will change the way you think about leader materials for predators

Washed-up former Olympic champ seeks cheap publicity

Discussion in 'Anything goes' started by Double J, Aug 3, 2006.

    Kinda hard to tarnish a reputation which was never that great to begin with, IMO.

    Olympic champion snowboarder Ross Rebagliati is suing CTV, saying a character in its TV series Whistler has tarnished his reputation.

    Rebagliati filed a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday alleging the Beck MacKaye character in the 13-part series is a misappropriation of his personality, a breach of privacy and defamation.

    CTV denied the allegations.

    On the show, MacKaye is a blue-eyed, blond snowboarder who lives in Whistler and won an Olympic gold medal.

    "I'm the only blond-haired, blue-eyed Canadian snowboard Olympic gold medal winner who lives in Whistler in the world," Rebagliati told a news conference.

    Yes, but here's why he's really upset....

    When he first learned the series was being shot in Whistler, Rebagliati inquired about being involved in the production.

    "We had made contact with them if there was some way I could make an appearance or a cameo," he said. "We had no response."

    Now, if I were a honcho at the network, here's my response:

    Ross, fuck off and die.

    Sincerely, CTV

Weekend Craft Haul

Hi Everyone,

After having a super manic week with weddings I managed to get away for an hour and do some craft shopping. I walked into Poundland and found some lovely gems, pearls, glue gun stick refills and wooden embellishments.

I've also wanted a stamping tool for a while but I never really thought I'd need one. I just love it!!! I have made a short video to showcase my haul.

Regions Bank Raising Capital

Representing Investors Nationwide

According to a December 9, 2008 Reuters article, Regions Bank, part of Regions Financial Corp, on Monday launched a $3.5 billion, four-part debt sale that will be guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

The sale includes $1 billion in two-year fixed rate notes and $1.75 billion in three-year fixed rates notes. The Bank is also selling $250 million of 18-month floating rate notes and $500 million in two-year floating rate notes. Barclays Capital, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Keegan are co-managing the sale.

Brand reputation and corresponding trust are critical for the ongoing growth and sustainable development of a company. Ram Charan, author of What the CEO wants you to know, noted: “Without customer’s trust, the rest doesn’t matter”. In fact, Hank Paulson, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, emphasised the need for growing trust in his statement: “Our assets are our people, our capital and our reputation. And if any of those are diminished, the last one is the hardest one to regain”. Brand trust (reputation) is the result of consistent and reliable behaviour, product integrity, great customer service and keeping promises made to all stakeholders.

From personal experience as I travel around Africa, I am so aware of my own brand preferences. When thirsty, there are specific brands of soft drinks that I will choose based on their consistency and quality. I always attempt to stay in a well-known hotel chain because I know what service and product to expect – as opposed to another hotel chain that offers inconsistent levels of service and “unnecessary” pricing fluctuations. I am also very aware of what I won’t accept and will even warn people against – there is a company in Africa that has the word “trust” in the company name, but you can’t rely on their senior management, you feel that they lure people with competitions without presenting the complete picture to clients and sense that you are going to be “ripped-off”. The trustworthiness (or lack thereof) of a brand certainly influences the behaviour and loyalty of current or potential customers.

Every year, Reputation Institute surveys 60 000 consumers in 29 countries to find out which company is the most respected in the world. Recent winners include LEGO, IKEA and Barilla Pasta. At the same time, from the Harvard Management Update, Bain & Co., in a survey of 362 companies, found that 80% of these businesses believed they deliver a superior customer service, but only 8% of customers believed the same thing. There seems to be a chasm between management paradigms and customer paradigms amongst these companies.

There are at least four important questions that need to be answered decisively by a company if it is to build a trustworthy brand, viz.:

  • Does our brand have honour? In other words, do we have a reputation for honesty? Do we admit and repair our errors? Is there integrity in our dealings with our staff, suppliers and clients?
  • Does our brand offer good will? Do our clients perceive genuineness in the way that we attempt to care for them? Are we quick to assist them and find solutions for them? Are we attempting to meet their needs?
  • Does our brand exhibit characteristics of competence? Do people talk about the quality of our products and services? Are our employees well trained and do they deal with clients professionally?
  • Does our brand produce good results? Are we known for delivering on our promises? Do we have good reputation? Are our clients recommending us to others?

Building a trustworthy brand is essential for company sustainability and growth. Counterfeit care, a lack of transparency, failure to deliver results and a denial of responsibility all break down the credibility of the company’s brand. Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, noted: “Trust happens when leaders are transparent, candid and keep their word”. Not only do employees need to experience this trustworthiness, but also suppliers and customers – only then will a company’s brand be deemed to be trustworthy.

Teresa, an AWest Grad

Dear Jefferson County Board of Education,

My name is Teresa Molello and I graduated from Arvada West High School in 2009, also having attended Drake Middle School and Vanderhoof Elementary. I am writing to inform you of the successes I have had since receiving what I thought was a quality education in the Jefferson County School District.

After graduating from A-West I attended Colorado State University where I majored in Human Development and Family Studies. I graduated Cum Laude with my BS in 3 and a half years. I feel like my education in Jeffco schools prepared me very well to succeed as a college student. I appreciate everything all my teachers and athletic coaches did to shape me into a productive and successful student and citizen.

I am now a graduate student at Mills College in the San Francisco Bay Area, ranked #5 in US News & World Report. I am working towards my MA in Education with a concentration in Early Childhood Education and Child Life. As a Child Life Specialist I will be working with children and families in hospitals to ensure they have an understanding of the hospitalization and have the opportunity to engage in play to learn and have a sense of normalcy during what can be a traumatic experience.

Without the quality education and guidance I received as a student in Jeffco Public Schools, I don’t think I would have been as motivated to continue my education as far as I have. I encourage you to continue to support Jeffco teachers and schools so young children have the chance to be successful and make a difference in society.

Teresa Molello

ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Protoje’s captivating, lyrically potent 8-Year-Affair

Time is consistently a dominant concept explored in Protoje’s creative output, from his groundbreaking mixtapes to his stellar full-length debut, 2011’s The 7 Year Itch. Now comes his terrific and newly-released sophomore record, The 8 Year Affair, a compelling 14-track set featuring eclectic production work by uberproducer Don Corleone, clever lyricism, and absorbing messages that speak directly to our age of spiritual warfare and the increasingly devastating impact of globalization.

What I find most appealing about the record, however, is the carefully crafted mélange of rootsy tunes (conscious and controversial) and love songs (often wonderful and well-written), the type that endeared Protoje to fans when he made in his initial dent in the cultural consciousness a few years ago.

Best of all among the lighter tracks are “Someone Like You,” an enchanting, radio-ready single on which he and Tessanne Chin make for tuneful sparring partners, while setting the stage for such standout cuts as the tender, repeat-worthy “Hold You Now”; the supple invitation “Come My Way”; and the groovy “Around the World,” with a hook supplied by Chris Watts.

As for the far grittier side of the album, Protoje proves that he’s equally interested in speaking to our harsh Third World realities (on cuts like “Kingston Be Wise”, “This is Not a Marijuana Song”), the wide-ranging scope of human relationships (“Who Dem A Program”), not to mention the current state of our homegrown music as examined on “Reggae Revival” (featuring Romain Virgo), on which they pose the question, “How reggae music fi dead?”

The 8 Year Affair should definitely resonate with listeners of all walks. Not least because in addition to highlighting societal ills, the artiste, in his own way, offers a blueprint for the way forward. The result is a hugely enjoyable listening experience, as we accompany our capable protagonist across a landscape of captivating rhythms and rhymes. Is Protoje a reggae legend in the making? Time will tell. Tyrone’s Verdict: B+

Leaderboards with Google Spreadsheets :)

I have spent the last week gamifying my 5th grade. I developed my theme, posted everything up and so forth. Then I came upon the "Hall of Honor", which is basically the leader board for my game. I had previously created a leaderboard for my blogs (see Gamification, starting really small), but this time, I wanted the sheet to automatically assign all badges (images) in response to inputting the XP scores.

I knew that I could just use something like Edmodo to keep track, but that meant that I would have to create a bunch of small groups and assign the badges manually. As much as I love Edmodo, this seemed like a hassle, and I could just see myself forgetting or clicking one student instead of another. I turned to my trusty internet in search of something already made, and although there were several sites that came up (Badgeville and Leaderboarded, for example), they did not meet my most basic need - "FREE".

So, with a very rudimentary understanding of Google Spreadsheets and the help of Youtube tutorials, I developed my own.

What the students see:

What the students don't see, and might be of interest to you:

The spreadsheet has one dedicated page for the leader board and then 9 others for the different units.
The data is pulled from the different sheets using the ImportRange function
All image URL's were shortened using
The images were placed inside the cells using =image("URL")
The ranks were assigned using formulas like :

=IF(B2>=300; "Supreme Grand Master";IF (AND(B2<=349;B2>=201); "Blogging Grand Master";IF (AND(B2<=200;B2>=161);"Master";IF(AND(B2<=160;B2>=121);"Magus";IF(AND(B2<=120; B2>=81);"Adept";IF(AND(B2<=80; B2>=61);"Journeyman";IF(AND(B2<=60; B2>=41);"Initiate";IF(AND(B2<=40; B2>=21);"Apprentice"; IF(B2<=20; "Novice" ; ""))))))))) - For text
 =IF(B2>=850; image("");IF (AND(B2<=849;B2>=750); image("");IF (AND(B2<=749;B2>=560);image("");IF(AND(B2<=559;B2>=420);image("");IF(AND(B2<=419; B2>=250);image("");IF(AND(B2<=249; B2>=170);image("");IF(AND(B2<=168; B2>=85);image(""); IF(B2<=84;image("") ; "")))))))) - For images
I could not figure out how to use just one formula for text and images AND that responded to the value of an imported range, all at the same time, so I solved the problem by populating an extra set of columns using import range (not shown to students) just with the values and then used =IF(M2>=100;image(""); IF(M2<=99;"Locked";)) to display either the image or the word locked on the Unit cells. This made the look quite cluttered, so I went with white text on those cells.

My end result, a sheet that responds to and assigns badges automatically as soon as I update the individual values for a student. Since all is tied together, I can also sort the columns any which way I need without worrying about "messing up" someone's badges or XP points. Just be aware that changes are not instantaneous; it sometimes takes a little while to load and update everything.

If you would like to view the full spreadsheet, and perhaps make a copy to modify to fit your needs, click on the image.

I will still need to input the individual XP for the assignments myself, but I have saved myself from the tallying and badge awarding. I also think that if I'm careful about naming conventions with the students, I might just be able to automate the input of XP directly from Flubaroo graded assignments, or from Google Form assignments. Now wouldn't that be a dream?

If you find this useful, or if you have found other ways to do this, leave a comment. I know that I will be grateful.

  1. Wow! This is great!! I think I will make a copy (and bookmark this page!) in case I have time this summer to look into this further!!!

    1. Awesome. If you decide to do it and run into snags, I'll be glad to help.

  2. This looks awesome! What gaming profile do you use?

  3. Love this! Love the site you created! I have been teaching gamified sixth grade science for two years and have experimented with a variety of tools -3D Game Lab, MOODLE, Schoology, Googledocs- as a platform for my game, but haven't been really happy with any combo so far. This summer, my plan is to move to a website/Google Apps format. Stumbling across your Wix, Edmodo, Googledocs and really cool spreadsheet
    with images is quite inspiring. Best of luck. Please keep blogging. I'd love to read more!

  4. I love this! I'm using it with a book club for adults this summer to encourage participation. One problem I've had is that when I insert my leaderboard spreadsheet into my Google Site, the images don't show up. Have you ever had problems with that when you embed the spreadsheet into another site?

    1. I have not had any trouble with the images appearing. Mine is embedded on a WIX free site, and it does take a while to load up, but eventually it does. Could it be the URLs of the images you are using?

  5. Thank you for this... This is GENIUS! will this work on ipad?

About the Author: IGN

  1. I thought this game was fucking spectacular. To me, Trauma is proof that a great atmosphere from suitable visuals and soundtrack a can do incredible things for a game. That surreal, chilling atmosphere from the photographic dream sequences and the chillingly detached music created such an incredible experience for me. The gameplay was as it needed to be – simple enough not to detract from the experience.

    Hats off.

  2. I've had this game on Steam from the Humble Bundle for a long while now, I thought it was just some boring point and click game like a Myst or something. Yet seems unique enough for me to check out.

  3. I just got this game from The Humble Bundle and this review is dead on. I had high hopes for this game, but it is kind of lackluster. That said, It's still worth a try. Make sure you find all the pictures or you'll miss a lot of the story.

The melodic beauty of my Appalachian spring

Dear Readers, The Dirt Diaries was selected to be featured in The Ultimate Landscaping Inspiration Guide! I am very honored to be included. It is an excellent guide full of gardening inspiration and ideas. Please stop by and take a look.

Solomon's Seal is a native that blooms in April and May

The ballet score Appalachian Spring won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1945 and remains one of the most inspiring works in American history.

But composer Aaron Copeland didn’t have mountains or forests in mind when he started working on the orchestral suite in 1942.

He initially called the score “Ballet for Martha” for the ballet’s choreographer and lead dancer, Martha Graham.

Graham suggested the name the day before the ballet premiered.

Copeland once said “I gave voice to that region without knowing I was giving voice to it.”

And he was often told he’d brilliantly captured the beauty of the Appalachians in his music.

As far as I am concerned, it doesn’t matter that this region wasn’t the inspiration for his masterpiece.

Every time I hear Appalachian Spring I envision the beauty of the mountains. Especially this time of year.

Diverse and dramatic

The mountains that surround me make up one of the most biologically diverse areas of the world with more than 1,600 flowering plants.

For me, visions of violets begin the season of rebirth. The Halberd-leaf Yellow Violet is usually the first flower I see.

Halberd-leaf Violet
Apparently the arrowhead leaves are reminiscent of a battle-ax type weapon used in the 15th and 16th centuries. I’ll have to take the historians at their word.

The humble violet has been celebrated in myths and literature from ancient times, a symbol of modesty and simplicity. Longfellow wrote that it “lurks among all the lovely children of the shade.”

Shakespeare described the violet as “forward” as it trumpets the awakening of the earth following winter. He also writes the violet is “sweet, not lasting. The perfume and suppliance of a minute; No more.”

Confederate Violet

So we should gather our halberd-leaf yellow violets while we may. Along with the other violets that grow along my trail including Confederate, Common Blue. Pale and several other varieties.

Trillium heaven

A couple of years ago according to folks in the know, a very warm winter caused many wildflowers to go into a tizzy.

Apparently many species flowered up to three weeks early and because of the warmth, the bloom period was very short. Trilliums also appeared early and were quickly devoured by hungry deer.

At that time I was new to the mountains, so I didn’t know what I was missing. Now I do and eagerly anticipate the gorgeous, distinctive blooms.

Catesby's Trillium (maybe)

Trilliums are members of the Lily family and are among the showiest of springtime wildflowers. The local natives sport three distinctive leaves and when they bloom, the flowers have three petals.

American Indians used the plant as an eye medication and women boiled the roots to make a love potion. Mountain folk say if you pick a trillium you will bring on a rainstorm.

Stinking Benjamin
Wake Robin, favorite from last year, is back with its deep burgundy blooms. Apparently that is the “nice” name because I’ve learned it is also known as Stinking Benjamin or Stinking Willie because of the putrid smelling flower. Early herbalists use it to treat gangrene.

A number of Painted Trilliums are growing down by the path. It was a happy surprise because I didn’t see any last year. I’m delighted to have them because experts say they have been virtually bulldozed or picked into extinction.

The white and pink trilliums nearby are beautiful,too. But I’ve become partial to the Painteds.

Every time I see one, I hear music.

Painted Trillium

A delightful commentary on the most unusual spring any of us have ever seen. Gorgeous photos! P.S.: you don't post nearly often enough!

Sunil Patel said...

Hello Lynn, trilliums really appeal to me with their geometrical strictness, rarity and mythology. I'm hoping I might be able to have some in the garden one day. In the meantime, I'l enjoy the photos of yours.

The best place to get a loan for a pre owned car is renowned financial services company such as Abdul Latif Jameel. They offer funding for any kind of vehicle and at minimal rates.

After starting, the engine jerks, "troit", works unstable. As it warms up, it seems to start working better. If you unscrew the spark plugs, you can see that some of them are smoked, dirty. You decide to replace the candles with new ones. The result appeared: the engine began to work a little better, but it was still unstable. So the matter is in high-voltage wires, but how to choose them correctly? I believe that spark plug wires are better than the Chevy 350 because what kind of wires you can not find on the shelves of auto parts stores, and each manufacturer assures that its wires are the best.

Our customers are saying…

  • “The Long Dog cafe is fast becoming one of my favourite cafes in Aberdeen. The food and drinks are always amazing (and they have gluten free options which is great for us as my fiancé is celiac) and the staff are really friendly. We went with a friend and her dogs one day and the staff gave them a few dog biscuits too which I thought was lovely well done to The Long Dog team”

    Ruth Rossiter

  • “I love this little busy cafe the staff are so friendly and the coffee is amazing I have been going for my caffeine fix for about six months now but as I am so busy I get my coffee to take away so I don’t very often get the chance to sit in but on Saturday I treated myself to one of the breakfast sausage rolls and a skinny coffee was just what I needed wish I could sit in more often”

    Sara Harper

  • “I so wish there were a lot more places like this! Lovely buzz about the place, excellent food at reasonable prices, and VERY dog friendly. Our puppy enjoyed himself as much as we did, meeting lots of new dogs in the process. It gets busy so be prepared to shove up a bit and clamber over the odd dog, you will be rewarded by the experience!”

Road Trip

On Thursday (Aug 26), Mom, Dad, the dogs and I all headed down to the Lake of the Ozarks.  This was my first official road trip.  Mom and dad bought a cargo carrier similar to the one below to store my pack and play and their luggage.

Between my car seat and the dogs, there wasn't much room in the car for anything else.  I did really well and went 4 1/2 hours between my meals but about 5 minutes from the house I figured out I was starving and let mom and dad know.  Grandpa Dido and Donna joined us for a night.  Mom and dad LOVED having the extra set of hands to pass us around.  Dido even gave me a bottle that night.  On Friday morning dad woke up early and let mom sleep in.  Apparently getting up every few hours to feed me can be exhausting?  While up, he took some crazy pics of the steam coming off the lake.

On Friday night, mom and dad had their first dinner/night out with me.  They took me to Sunrise Cantina this little mexican restaurant where they had Margaritas (only a few).  Then dad marveled me about stories of how slow Jeremy Nass eats and how dad can beat him in a burrito eating contest.  I can't wait to meet this guy.  Maybe I can race him in a bottle feeding contest.  I can have milk and he can have a Miller Lite.  I love milk so I'm pretty sure I'd win.  In fact here's a video of how much I love eating.

Anyway, I slept really well down there and mom and dad stayed until Saturday.  They wouldn't let me swim this time, but I did hang out on the dock with them on Friday evening.  The breeze and rocking dock lulled me right to sleep.  Mom and dad are hoping to take me down there again in a couple weeks...I can't wait!

Porter and I chillin' at the lake.

Tiger Claw Radio #159 - DOA2 and Chill

Playing some DOA 2 on my Dreamcast and chilling out on a Friday night. Told some of the same stories as last week and didn't realize it until the dramatic climax. It was a good time.

Download the mp3 from the podomatic page.

  1. Your high score idea sounds pretty fun, you could pick an old NES shoot em up or something and mention it on your next podcast and then be like, by "THIS DATE IN THE FUTURE" you have to submit it to the show. I think everyone could abide by the honor system, but people could also take pics or make videos and send them in to you.

    Knowing that I'd be competing in the same league as Vintage Video Game Geek would be the thrill of a life time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. I think playing Mame while chilling and having some snacks sounds cool. Im gonna work towards that MAGGFEST 2017 goal. I understand your frustration with video producing, those technical problems stand often in the way of me getting more videos done. Hopefully you can resolve your video editing issue, Id really like to see that Suikoden video one of these days. Why dont you try your hand on a Lets Play? I remember that zombie game set in an office LP, and enjoyed the hell out of it. LPs are pretty easy to produce, and they are good filler. You could make it one of those semi LP/Podcasts ones, I think it would be awesome to watch/listen. I want to get an arcade stick one of these days. Got a Logitech gamepad and a Thrustmaster (lolzy name for sure ;) ) Flightstick. A Arcadestick would be a nice addition, plus it would be great with Mame roms for sure. I felt TCR has been regular, and I have been enjoying it. I have been struggeling to keep Beastcast regular, and you have been doing way better them me when it comes with a continuous schedule. Thanks for the kind words for TNR broski, I feel we all making the website great. By the way, this site is one of the biggest sites TNR gets traffic from, thanks man. By the way I checked out that new Doom boxart and it was horribly generic. Ive seen parodies, where they just change the title with Halo or Call of Duty, and you cant even see a difference. The Doom games used to have great boxart made by the best illustrators. One of the real bad sides of modern gaming. Good episode man, rock on!

  3. PS: The highscore game would be fun, just like the old days of TCR. I would be up for it. I think Honor system would work, or as Deathadder said, a short video or pic.

This look took FOREVER! But I’m really happy with how it turned out, I do wish I had placed his head up higher on the nail so it wasn’t facing downward though =(

As my oldest son says, “It’s SANTA!”

This look was entirely down with acrylic paint and flocking powder =)

Eastern Bridge – II

 The exercise, named “Ex Eastern Bridge - 2011” is the second of the series, the first was held in Oct 2009 ,of joint exercise between the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO) .It held in Jamnagar.

The 04 day long exercise involved a variety of flying missions from each other’s best practices in terms of operational, maintenance and administrative procedures. The exercise gave vast exposure to the aircrew of RAFO and IAF, towards missions involving long duration sorties with in flight refueling, large force strike packages, air to ground bombing and maritime strike roles routinely performed by the IAF both independently and in mixed operations.

This exercise did not only enrich the IAF and RAFO professionally but culturally also as the Omani people and Indians share a similar culture. The Ex provided an opportunity of rich interaction between the personnel of both countries.

Our first DSS Whirlwind of Emotions!

This week has been busy as usual. Last night, my mom kept Cai overnight and Hart and I jumped on the opportunity to use a giftcard he got for his birthday from my brother and SIL, and we went on a little date!
 This past March, Hart and I realized that we HAD to get our marriage in shape. Date nights and getaways were non-negotiable. We had to make the time for them or our marriage would continue to suffer. It's made all the difference, so we make it a point to do a date, even cheap coffee dates, if we don't have much budget where we sit and talk and enjoy one another doing normal things outside of running a family. So, last night, we were on one of these dates!
We'd rather do more frequent "cheap" dates, than less frequent more expensive ones! Haha! Enjoying Five Guys together! We've also made a list of things to do together and every so often we try to do something off each other's lists. One thing on mine, was go to the mall and walk around together! I can't remember the last time I went to the mall shopping, for reals. We spent zero dollars, but walked around and I kept looking at all the little girls clothing, bc you never know we may get a call saying we have a baby somewhere.... Right about the time we were trying on mustache glasses and laughing at one another taking photos like teenagers, I realized I had a missed call from my friend, Alicia, the wife of the couple we met in Adoption Orientation that are already Foster Parents.
She had texted me saying "CALL ME!!!!" Usually on our date nights, we have a "no cell phone talking rule", but I asked Hart if I could call here back! She wouldn't be texting me something like that unless she had some info she HAD to tell me! Sure enough, I called her back and my heart dropped into my stomach when she said she just got an emergency placement for 2 children, an 8 month old and a 1 year old. We share the same social worker and she had told Alicia she wished we were approved, so that we could take these two kids that were perfect for us! Alicia asked if she could keep them for us and could they rush our approval process in any way? Of course, after this, all I could think about were the 2 precious children that could be our "beloved babies"--- our term for our "foster babies". We've decided we don't want our kids, foster or adopted, to be stigmitized as "foster" children, even though they are in fact foster children. In front of them, we are going to try to use the terms "beloved babies". We've read so many things that they grow up knowing they are different and to treat them better. The thoughts that ran through my head was, "Oh, my goodness, it's possible that our babies are going to be with our friends, the Harris' family! What a blessing!" "We could have a son and a daughter!" "We may be approved faster now!" "Wow, our babies have been neglected! I hope they are okay" On and on... I called/texted parents/friends asking them to cover these kids in prayer... Then, long story short, they are going back home. I have no more details, except that they are not our first set of "beloved babies". Talk about a whirlwind of emotions!!! I think this is just the start.... The good news is that I've been getting more and more of an idea of what it's like for some of these children. How scared out of their minds they are, what they've faced, how some adapt easier, how some have trouble, there could be language barriers for some children you have to face. It's also nice to know we were thought of and remembered! We may get approved quicker. We also realized that The Harris Family and us need to be considered Alternate Caregivers for each other, so that we can switch kids around if necessary. It's a blessing to have such sweet friends to come along side with and to talk to! We truly have a peace that God will bring the exact children that need to be in our home in his perfect timing. We rest in that! And pray for these little ones that have to go through such scary things!

    David, I have been following you for a while now on Little River outfitters message board. I am 17 years old and new to fly fishing. I guide trout spinning trips in gatlinburg. Each and every time i go fly fishing in the smokies i learn more and more. I have got catching bows down but can not seem to catch a brow. If you would i would greatly appreciate it if you take me some time. My name is cory smith and you can contact me at 865-291-8887 thank you so much

  4. Cory,

    I would be glad to fish together sometime and show you a few pointers. Shoot me an email (you can find a link to it over on the right side under the about me through the view my complete profile) and we can discuss getting together sometime.
