Great Spanish Positas and Ape course books and where to find them A classroom can be a daunting environment for a teacher. They have been placed as the responsible leader of a classroom and it is their duty to ensure that the students leave with something. Specifically, in an assault classroom, teachers feel that there is a lot of pressure to not fail the students. To assuage this anxiety, teachers must find security in their confidence. They have trained and they have the knowledge to succeed. By relying on the information that they know, they can create a learning environment that provides comfort for everyone. Prepare. One of the most confidence building exercises for teachers is to be prepared for the class beforehand. The most important piece is to create a lesson plan that can exist as a guide. The teacher can look back at their plan to see where they are and they can adjust as necessary. If the class gets off track, they can always come back to the lesson plan. If they have broken their plan down appropriately with ESA, then they should find confidence in what it means to me to engage, study and active modes. Also, when preparing a lesson, the teacher should be comfortable with the material. For example, future tenses are not a strong suit for me. I would refresh myself with the material and then I would make my lesson plan more detailed. In terms of physically preparing, a teacher should prepare their classroom. This means getting to the classroom before the students. If the whiteboard is in use, it might be helpful to write things beforehand. If the teacher is using technology, they should make sure that everything works beforehand. Being prepared eliminates scrambling to get things in order. Think about your students. The students in the classroom are the most important. You are there for them. This can be a source of anxiety, but it can also be a source of joy and confidence. A teacher should know and understand classroom dynamics. This comes from building a relationship with the students. Introductions are the most important. Get to know your students and they will be more comfortable with engaging in the class. Also, allow opportunities for students to get to know each other with activate activities centered on group work. A comfortable classroom helps create a confident teacher. Respect. Another part of creating a more confident teacher is being firm but respectable. The students should look up to you as a leader. If teachers believe they have control over their class, then they can teach without worries. This does not mean that it is okay to be mean and rude. It means that the teacher visibly cares about the students in the material. Teachers can show care to the students by creating lesson plans and using materials that align with the language level of the students. Teachers can also frequently get feedback from the students. In terms of discipline, teachers should be knowledgeable about the school rules in order to enforce them. For example, the teacher should not make threats or yell at the students. By having a temperature of the classroom, teachers gain more confidence in teaching. Take a TEFL course and become a certified English teacher. Growing confidence in teaching abilities is centered around the teacher's ability to preparedness. If the teacher continues to rely on their knowledge, they will begin to gain confidence and the students will also see this. As time goes on, the teacher will get to know the classroom better and therefore they will gain more confidence.

I really really like this stuff. It is very very light. I recommend Hey, what's up guys Josh here today? I want to do a little review on this supplement slash new tropic by the name of Collar Rassetam now a couple people have come on my channel some subscribers saying that they'd like they appreciate me doing these New tropic videos, but they don't really know what I'm talking about So I'm just gonna do a little backstory about this particular new tropic It's a member of the Rassetam family and there's I mean like over eight Rassetams people say that there's eight But then even people on my video say there's prescription Rassetams that I've never heard of So there's lots and lots and lots of Rassetams and basically they work on the choline receptor in one way or another Choline is an interesting compound It kind of gives you this focus this memory recall when you're talking your words come out a little bit better But it's also not something that you abuse or that gets you high But it's also a neurotransmitter in your body So this is very very good for learning and most of the Rassetams are Kind of geared towards Alzheimer's patients because I think all simers have really really low levels of choline And that kind of makes you delirious So these are kind of like all simers type new tropics technically they're kind of like drugs, but there's no real abuse potential There's no really getting high. So it's kind of weird saying that so all Rassetam is kind of one of the lesser known ones I tried phenoparasitam hydrazide. I tried oxyracetam and I tried anoracetam phenoparasitam hydrazide I was one of my favorite supplements that I ever came across ever. I love it. The other two Rassetams oxyracetam and anoracetam I got very little benefits and then very soon after if I started to continue to take it I got lots of side effects. So it just kind of scared me from taking it I'm sure if I took a low dose one time, I'd probably be okay But I don't know. I just really wasn't interested in those So when I was reordering my phenoparasitam hydrazide You have to spend $50 to get free shipping on this website And so usually the phenoparasitam I get's about 35 So I'll usually get another new tropic to review alongside it and decided to go with choleracetam I had really no hopes for this one. I was just going to try it out. Um, when you look at the chemical structure it's very very long and I think yeah Something like a new pep is very very potent and this is supposed to be double as potent as new pep milligram for milligram So they say the dose for this stuff's about I think 10 to 40 milligrams And I got to say when I was trying it I tried 10 right off the bat. It really is nice. It's really awesome But it's also very very subtle sometimes you question You question if you notice that you question if it's there But then when you go and look back on it later on in the day, you're like, yeah, that seemed to work well with me I seem to like only have positives although they were slight and I didn't have any issues You know what I mean, you know when a supplement works for you if it doesn't work for you So I was just repeatedly having good experiences with this stuff I would usually do it one maybe two times in the day and it would be something to zigzag Between my phenyl paracetam and this because I love phenyl paracetam And I would want to take a little bit of a racetam almost every day But like I said, I don't like the other two racetam. So This for me is my second favorite racetam I think this was discovered in Japan and then it was sold to a company in san diego And they decided not to use it and so because they haven't used it We can use it now. So it has been very well studied. It went through some clinical trials You know, it is it has some research to it. So it's not some unstudied thing You know people were people patented it and then also sold it apparently it's called cholera acetam because it's supposed to increase Your colors and your perception. I really didn't get that to be honest with you guys colors Like they generally looked good to me But I don't think I'm somebody who's really gonna notice like an overly abundant Style of colors unless it was like forced on to me But I think that's why they called it cholera acetam because it does increase your vision I think it's actually supposed to be good for like your vision and stuff too Could possibly heal parts of your vision The main mechanism of action here before I go is apparently you could get choline from stuff like beef and eggs But the main thing in your body that we really want is acetyl choline And this basically converts choline to acetyl choline more efficiently So that's basically all it does and I like that idea You know, it's basically just converting more of what you want in your body versus some of the other acetams They say it goes throughout your body and it finds these reserve Choline sources and then releases them that kind of scared me because I feel like those reserves are there for a reason I kind of like that. This one just enhances the transition from choline to acetyl choline So I really really like this stuff. It is very very light I recommend probably starting with 20 to 30 milligrams. That's why I liked for me Some people get effects off 10 milligrams or less Other people will say that this is their favorite rastatam and I could kind of see why right now because Every time I've taken it, I've just had an overall pleasant experience, although it's been a bit light So anyways guys, I do recommend checking out cholera acetam if you're interested and just kind of like a brain boosting Experience I had little to no side effects on this one. I had much more side effects on the anirastatam the oxy rastatam and Yeah, guys, I really do enjoy it I do recommend you try phenol perastatam hydroxide first because I like that one more That one is a little more noticeable to me too But if you've already got that one, I highly recommend checking out this cholera acetam because it seemed like this far off rastatam But it ended up being one of my favorites. So anyways guys, let me know what you think of cholera acetam We're on the road to 50 000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any of your guys I hope you guys are the best having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home See you all in the next video. Peace


The Ravens are good. The Bengals aren't. What do you take away from last night, A.J. Hawk? Aside from the fact that Justin Tucker's a f***ing dog. I still think the Bengals are going to be fine. I know they've lost three games by a field goal or less, I think, or whatever the stat is right now. But I think the Ravens' defense, for whatever they did, somehow they found out a way to shut Joe Burrow down. This offense, for the most part, not completely, but their defense was giving up what? The most yards through the air up until this game. So maybe the Ravens are back is what you're saying? Maybe the Ravens are the team that we thought they were going to be? I mean, if their defense can play like this, yeah, absolutely, with Lamar.  I know he had a, what, was it one pick last night? Yeah, how easy does it look for him that once he starts running? He never gets like... Looks like fun. He never gets tackled. Looks like fun for him, doesn't it? It does. He's like gliding around, and then even if he gets hit, it's like never thought he's going down. He just kind of bounces out of bounds, throws the ball, and every time he gets tackled, there's always love with the other person.


Now in Tokwara State, where the government has announced the reopening of Orinu Baptist High School, Ijagbo, for students to resume academic activities after a four-month closure over the crisis of hijab wearing, the state government had on February 3rd shot the school following a crisis between Muslim and Christian parents who stormed the institution to defend their respective faith on the wearing of hijab by female Muslim students in the school. The Permanent Secretary and the State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Mary Adioshu, in a statement said the school would reopen from Friday, the 3rd of June.


Today, March 20th, 2012, EMC Green Plum drew back the curtain on Chorus, its collaborative analytic platform for data scientists. Importantly, the company announced a new open source business model for Chorus. As well, EMC acquired Pivotal Labs, a software development consultancy. Hello, everybody. This is Dave Vellante of Wikibon.org, and I'm here with my colleague Jeff Kelly, Wikibon's big data analyst, and on the phone, we have David Floyer, CTO of Wikibon. We're going to discuss what did EMC Green Plum announce exactly? What does it mean to customers in the industry, and why does it matter? Gentlemen, thanks for joining me. Great to be here. So, Jeff, why don't we start with you? Thank you, David. David, remote from Mountain View, as always. Jeff, kick it off here. What did EMC Green Plum specifically announce? Three things. Chorus, as you mentioned, their social collaborative analytic platform that they've been talking about now for about a year is going to go GA on March 23rd on Friday. Second, that they're going to open source Chorus, the second half of this year, although some details on that are still a little bit vague. And third, that they're acquiring Pivotal Labs, a consultancy that helps organizations build the big data applications, and also the company that helped, that worked with EMC actually to develop Chorus. So those are the three main news points that were announced. So talk a little bit more about Chorus. So where does Chorus fit? Peel the onion a little bit. A little bit more detail on what it is and where it fits into the whole Green Plum platform. Sure. So Green Plum's Chorus platform, essentially, it's, as we mentioned, a collaborative analytic platform, which means it's designed for data scientists to manipulate and otherwise do their day-to-day work with data using the tools of their choice, and it kind of surrounds that, or places that in a collaborative environment. So it makes it easier to connect with colleagues, collaborate on research, find new data sources that might be strewn about the organization here and there. And essentially, it's really to embrace the collaborative nature of data scientists, which we know from surveys, data scientists are among the most collaborative IT workers or business analysts. So essentially, that kind of layer that surrounds the analytics tools to enable collaboration. Chorus is part of what Green Plum calls what, UAP, what is that, universal analytic? Unified analytic platform. Unified analytic platform. And so where does Chorus fit and what else is in there? UAP has essentially got three main components. It's the Green Plum analytic database. It's the Green Plum Hadoop distribution, and sitting side by side. And you can kind of picture Chorus as the third component layered on top of the two. And essentially allowing you to access both systems to integrate the data into Chorus and otherwise manipulate it with your tools. And the Hadoop, is there a Apache Hadoop or some other distribution? Yes, it's their Apache-based distribution as opposed to their MapR-based distribution. Okay, so the UAP does not include the MapR piece? That's correct. Okay. In Pivotal Labs, you mentioned there are software consultancy, software development consultancy. I know they're focused on Agile, rapid development. They were sort of early proponents of that whole methodology. What else do you know about them? Well, you know, they worked with a lot of basically building web-based applications and they've developed something called Pivotal Tracker, which is their own essentially application framework for Agile software development. So they're pretty well recognized in the software development industry. And as I mentioned, they were working closely with EMC and developing Chorus. And over the course of that relationship, EMC came to the conclusion that Pivotal Labs could really help their clients essentially build big data applications on top of UAP, hence the acquisition today. So, Jeff, let's talk a little bit about what this means. And then I want to bring David Floyer into the discussion. So the Green Plum announced, the EMC Green Plum announced that it's open sourcing Chorus. Exactly what does that mean? Because, you know, people talk about open source. There's different gradations of open and free and so to clarify exactly what this is about. Well, EMC was a little bit vague on the details, but they have committed to open sourcing this in the second half of the year. And they talk mostly about open sourcing it in the sense of making the API as available to developers. They don't envision, I'm not even quite sure if they're going to allow developers to fiddle with the actual code, the platform itself Chorus. But the idea here is to make Chorus easily available to application developers so they can plug their applications, or I should say plug Chorus directly into their application development processes. So I thought, so what's vague? I thought that they had used the metaphor of Android versus Linux, for example. So Android is essentially controlled by Google, right? People make contributions, but they've got to go through a Java sort of similar type of model. They've got to go through now Oracle was Sun. Well, I think what I took away from the announcement is that they're really focused on, they don't see, they don't believe there's a lot of work that needs to be done on the Chorus platform. That's not kind of why, it's not with the Hadoop model where people need to make the platform more robust. It's a lot of white space. Right, this is, they believe the platform's enterprise ready, ready to go hence the GA later this week. The idea of the open source component is to make it easy and to attract developers to build applications on top. And then in terms of how much they're going to control that, they mentioned there's going to be, there's still a lot of work in progress of how tightly they're going to control or basically control the applications that are built on top. But they have stated that they're committed to keeping this an open environment and trying to make it as available to as many people as possible. David Florey, let's bring you into the conversation. What's your take on all this? Well, for green thumb customers, this makes the additional chorus on top of it enhances its value. Essentially, it seems a better way of being able to populate the green thumb database from multiple sources, be able to pull those in more easily from Hadoop sources or from other database sources around the organization. And that would allow a degree of automation about that being kept up to date. And that essentially is going to allow some automation of what the data scientists are doing and make it much more production friendly. In terms of unique capabilities in the industry, there are other ways of combining these databases around there. Quest, for example, have a product called Toad, which is an open source product that's very, very truly open source product that's very popular in the development industry. So there are other approaches around. But allowing automation and automatic updating of data in a production setting is a good thing and will allow more robust implementations of this as a large centralized database. And for people who want to take that approach, and obviously it's a cheaper approach than taking a large Oracle centralized database, then there's some attractions. So it seems like there's always a trade-off here with open, right? So you've got the totally open, open source, free. Anybody can contribute. And there's some kind of body that adjudicates what gets delivered. And it's sort of quirky. There's obviously risks involved. It's a lot slower, actually, versus the single vendor controlled. Like in Android, I would put Java in that category where you've got an overall authority. The platform's open. The API is open. The exits and the entries into the platform are well understood. It's about growing an ecosystem. But the core platform is controlled by a single vendor. And then you've got the other end of the spectrum, which is a proprietary, which still could have sets of APIs. But it's not considered open source in the sense that we're talking about here. So what are, from a customer standpoint, when should you go with which model? Is that a question for me? So my input would be that this is much closer to the last model that you mentioned. It's an API which is essentially free to use. But you have to obviously take the core software from EMC. And you have to take the Green Plum database, et cetera. So it's an ability to use the API and build applications on top of that particular platform. So for ISPs of some value, it's possible that end users themselves would like to use those APIs. But in terms of the traditional open definition, I think it's pretty close to a closed system and should be regarded as such by end users. That doesn't mean to say it's bad at all. I mean, the Green Plum is an excellent database. And obviously, time will tell about the core, et cetera, and how effective it is compared with other products. But given that those are good products, then there's a good, strong reason for taking this approach. Didn't EMC Green Plum announce as part of the announcement that it would enable other databases besides the Green Plum database? Or am I mistaken about that? They have the ability to pull in into the Green Plum database other databases, pieces from other databases, keep track of that. So it's a way of creating a bigger database from multiple sources, including Hadoop, as part of the data science project part of this, if you like, the automation of that. Is that it? I thought there was more of an indication that they would, over time, open it up to them. Right. Well, I mean, they said, on the one hand, they're absolutely committed to enabling integration with other databases. On the other hand, they didn't say exactly when or how far along they are in that process. So for now, we're starting here. It's really targeted at the existing base of customers. Absolutely. And then, over time, we'll see. OK. Why does all this matter, Jeff? Well, for a few reasons. I mean, really, the last mile of big data is the applications. So any platform or service that makes it easier to build applications and to do the analytics that feed those applications, to build the models that feed applications, is a good thing. So in that sense, this is important. I think data scientists working with this platform are going to embrace chorus, at least initially. As David said, time will tell how effective it truly is. But EMC is definitely on the right track in terms of making it collaborative, allowing data scientists to use whatever tools they want. For instance, EMC has not created or is not embedding an existing, particular existing analytic technology or tool into the platform. You can bring SAS DataMiter into it if you want. Or I believe they also mentioned Alpine data labs that they're working with. So the idea that you can bring in the tool you're most comfortable with, I think, was also very important for them to take that approach. But yeah, I think when you combine the social with the analytic capabilities, it's at least from a messaging or from a vision standpoint, I think they're going down the right track. So you said the last mile's applications. Applications are hard to build on top of Hadoop. We know that. So you have predicted that this is the year when we're going to see a lot of application activity. Is this an example? Are we on track for that prediction? Yeah, I think what needs to happen is more platforms that enable the building of applications has to occur before we actually see a plethora of new applications emerge. So this is definitely a move in the right direction there. But it is difficult to write these applications in parallel environments such as Hadoop. So any kind of we're hoping to see more platforms like this that essentially abstract away some of that complexity in terms of integrating Hadoop and other data sources into your application development processes. So what about Pivotal Labs?  They hopped on that trend. My guess is they're going to hop on Node.js and any hot emerging language, a company like Pivotal Labs is going to be there. Very early edge, leading edge development company. What does that mean? What does that acquisition mean for customers in the industry? Well, again, it's critical to think about an EMC customer that's invested in UAP. So they've spent some money on Green Plum. They've got a Hadoop infrastructure that they're now supporting. Now they've got Chorus where their data scientists can be more productive. But what's next? You need to make that data available, that analytics available to the application so business users can actually make decisions with it. Or perhaps you could automate business processes. So I think this is key. This really gives EMC the full stack, really, from the storage and processing, up through the analytics, to building the application layer. All right, David, anything you would add to? Why does it matter? Yes, I think Jeff has summed it up very well. This is from Green Plum's point of view and the ability of Green Plum to compete in the marketplace. This is an important capability. The ability to orchestrate all of the data sources and manage those effectively and make it into a production workflow is critical. Because the applications built on top of that have to be able to rely on the quality of the data and ensure that it's the right versions, et cetera. And the idea of this, obviously, is to make it a lot simpler and a lot more automated to actually do those operational processes. So it's a prerequisite for being in this marketplace. Obviously, the quality of it and how easy it is to implement time will tell, but it's a prerequisite really to be effective in operational. But it doesn't add, in essence, anything dramatically new in terms of capability. It's stuff that could be done, but would have to be done manually. This is EMC at its best, which is putting in the framework and the automation around it. All right, Jeff Kelly, we'll give you the final word. Closing thoughts. Well, like I said, it's a big data application. It's kind of the last mile here. You need to build applications ultimately to derive real value, excuse me, from big data. So I think it's certainly a welcome move, I think. We're hoping to see more vendors embrace this kind of social collaboration type model for data analytics and data science. Of course, as David said, time will tell if this particular product kind of meets all the expectations, but I think this is a good sign that we're moving in the right direction. Okay, so data science, collaboration, openness, applications really are the key. Guys, thanks very much for helping us break down this announcement. And you guys have a great day. Thanks for watching everybody and we'll see you next time. Okay, bye.
