Hi and welcome to the session. Today I'll help you with the following question which is a survey regarding the heights in centimeter of 50 girls of class 10th of a school was conducted and the following data was updated. Find the mean, median and mode of the above data. Before proceeding for the solution, let's see how to find out mean, median and mode. First of all mean is given by the formula sigma xi fi upon sigma fi where i goes from 1 to n. Here xi is the class mark and fi is the frequency. Now median is given by n plus n upon 2 minus cf upon f into h where n is the lower limit of median class n is the number of observations cf is the cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class f is the frequency of median class h is the class size assuming to be equal. And the median class is the class whose cumulative frequency is greater than and nearest to n upon 2. Now lastly the mode is given by the formula n plus f1 minus f0 upon 2f1 minus f0 minus f2 into h where n is the lower limit of the modal class h is size of the class interval all class sizes to be equal. f1 is the frequency of the modal class f0 is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class is the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class. Now modal class is the class with maximum frequency. This is the key idea for this question. Now let's see its solution. First of all we will find mean which is given by the formula sigma fi xi upon sigma fi. Now here we are already given in the question the height in centimeters and number of girls. So here number of girls is the frequency that is fi so here 50 is sigma fi. Now let's find the class mark. We know that class mark is given by upper class limit plus lower class limit upon 2. So here for the class interval 120 to 130 the class mark that is xi will be 120 plus 130 upon 2 that is 125. For this class interval the class mark that is xi will be 135 and so on. Next we want to find sigma fi xi so first of all let us find fi xi for this first of all we will multiply f1 with x1 that is 2 into 125 which is equal to 250. Similarly 8 into 135 is equal to 1080 12 into 145 is equal to 1740 20 into 155 is equal to 3100 and 8 into 165 is equal to 1320. Now adding all these we get sigma fi xi which is equal to 7,490. Now let us substitute the values over here to find out mean. Now mean is also given by x bar so here mean that is x bar will be equal to sigma fi xi that is 7,490 upon sigma fi that is 50. Which will be equal to 149.8 thus mean that is x bar is equal to 149.8. Now let us move on to medium which is given by the formula n plus n upon 2 minus cf upon f into h. For this first of all we need to find out the median class and we know that median class is the class whose cumulative frequency is greater than and here is 2n upon 2. So first of all here n is equal to 50 so n upon 2 will be equal to 50 upon 2 that is 25. Now let us find out the cumulative frequencies. So for this the cumulative frequency will be 2 then 2 plus 8 that is 10. Now 10 plus 12 that is 22 now 22 plus 20 that is 42 and lastly 42 plus 8 that is 50. Now the cumulative frequency which is greater than and here is 225 is 42. So the median class will be 152,160 that means we have median class as the class interval 152,160. Now here l is the lower limit of the median class which is 150 so l is 150 and upon 2 is 25. Cf is the cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class. So here this is the median class and the class preceding to median class is 140 to 150 and the cumulative frequency corresponding to this class is 22. So Cf is equal to 22, f is the frequency of median class which is 20, h is the class size which is 10 over here. Now let us substitute all these values in the formula to find out median. So here median will be equal to 150 plus 25 minus 22 upon 20 into 10 which will be equal to 150 plus 3 upon 2 that is 151.5. Thus median is equal to 151.5. Now let us find out mode which is given by the formula l plus f1 minus f0 upon 2f1 minus f0 minus f2 into h. Now here first of all we will find the modal class that is the class with maximum frequency. So here the maximum frequency is 20 and the class is 150 to 160 that means the modal class is 150 to 160. Now here also l is the lower limit of the modal class which is 150 so we have l equal to 150. f1 is the frequency of the modal class which is 20, f0 is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class that is 12 over here. f2 is the frequency of the class exceeding the modal class which is 8 and lastly h is the class size which is 10 over here. Now let us find out mode by substituting all these values. So mode will be equal to 150 plus 20 minus 12 upon 2 into 20 minus 12 minus 8 into 10. On simplifying this we will get 150 plus 8 upon 20 into 10 which will be equal to 154. Thus mode is equal to 154. Thus for the given data mean is equal to 149.8, median is equal to 151.5 and mode is equal to 154. With this we finish this session hope you must have understood the question goodbye take care and have a nice day.


everyone. I'm live and not prepared. Okay, we'll get ready. I can see what you guys are saying. I'll see what I'm doing today. So this weekend I taught a class in Seguin, Texas. Hi, David. And I did this piece, this geoid, as my dear friend Rhonda's daughter likes to call it. And I love doing geodes. And this one was just so fun to do. I thought I would do one with you guys today. So for this piece, I used a new resin. This resin is by Mixmedia Girl. We've decided to start carrying her resin. And so I already have it listed on the website. I have a few kits in stock right now. And so the rest will be essentially a pre-order. And those will take at most seven days to get in. So if you want to try it, otherwise it'll be about a week turnaround to get your resin to you if you don't order it while I have it. So you'll notice that her epoxy is almost purple. And that is to help counteract any yellowing. I mean, all epoxies are subject to yellowing, but having it start off with a kind of a blue hue just pre-color corrects it. Hello, everyone. What is the working time? That's a great question. So the working time is about an hour. It's not quite as long as art coats. But I think if you're working on a piece that you've done before, like the number of geodes that I've done, or if you're working on a smaller piece, an hour should be plenty. I mean, obviously I prefer having a longer working time, but that also means a longer curing time. So if you're trying to get a piece done for something in particular, this will cure up a little bit more quickly. Hey, everybody. Hello, hello, hello. Marcia is in the house. So if you have any questions about this epoxy, she is the best one to ask because she helped create the formula. So it's really good for flood cutting. Nope, flood coating over your acrylic pieces. We can also use it like I'm going to just create the artwork using Mixed Media Girls Art. Thank you, Marcia. Where's my hair cut? So if you guys just came in, this is the piece that we're going to recreate today. Typically, I have my resin already mixed up for you guys, but I have been trying to catch up from being out of town an Instagene teaching class. So I just ran out of time a little bit. But mixing it is just like most other one-to-ones. Obviously, you want to read the packaging, but it's about a three-minute mix. Just make sure you have it fully incorporated by scraping the bottom and the sides. If you have any reaction to epoxy ever, just if you're allergic, just be cautious. Listen to your body. Talk to your position. And wear a respirator. Be involved in the needed space. Wear gloves. Do what you got to do to protect your own stuff. Hello, hello, everyone. Thank you for joining me today. Sorry, it's boring so far because I'm mixing resin, but I'm almost done. So on my original piece, I used a color called Mint by Color Passion. I am out of that color. It's on order, but so I'm going to make a similar color using other colors that I have because all the colors that we sell on our website, artisttilldeath.com, you can combine together to make custom shades. And in fact, I do that for people a lot. They'll message me saying that they need a color match or football team or school company logo or whatever. And I'm happy to color match for people and make custom colors. So shoot me a message, shoot me an email if that's something that you're interested in. So let's start with our main color, which is going to be the teal. And then we have a brown.  That's a Cheez-Itz Huntsville. We're just all over the states today. Thank you guys for tuning in. But yeah, let me know where you're tuning in from. Thank you in advance to all the mods for your hard work. I'm helping me keep our YouTube forum for many trolls that may be lurking. So this geode is pretty easy to do. You're in the awesome airport already. Hope it's not a long delay. Okay, let's start with the color we're going to have to custom make. I'm going to use deep turquoise for base. In fact, I think I want to use a little bit extra of this dark turquoise. I'm going to pour some of this other epoxy into another cup so that I can have just some of this deep turquoise alone. Do you want to be safe here in the hurricane's path? I've been trying to watch that.  You got to leave and you have a way to leave. Try to find a way out. Don't play with nature. No risk it. So now I'm going to add in a good amount of Bercus at Tiffany's from Just Resin and see what kind of color we've created. Hopefully, I didn't add too much dark turquoise. I like the look of that swirl in Just Resin. So I'm actually going to add some more just to swirl it in and just leave it swirl. So these pigments are made specifically for resin which means unlike like acrylic paints that you can put into epoxy you have to really watch how much you use because just a little bit of marbling.  It decreases your working time. It upgrades the durability of your resin. So best is to just use pigments made for epoxy. So if you have to add a little bit extra of a color in then it's not going to do anything crazy to your resin. It's not going to set it off early. Roam and grease. I love seeing all of you guys from not the I mean I love seeing all of you guys in the U.S. as well. Don't get me wrong. It's just it's just amazing to me to have so many people from across the world tune in to see what I'm painting today. Makes my heart happy. Well it's still hard and it's not completely mixed together. Yeah so since it's I didn't just put it in there and leave it. I did soft mix it. I did soft meld it. You want to incorporate it a little bit. Just not fully incorporated so that it will cure fully. But yeah if it, Marcy's right, if you don't incorporate it at all and just kind of put it in there that's new then you will risk it just staying tacky and never really fully curing. All right so we're going to make sure that this area is going to be teal since it already is. We're going to mix our gold. For the gold I'm using Just Resin's Bright Gold. It's one of my favorite gold. I always mix my paints in the jar before I put it in my resin because sometimes they tend to separate just slightly and you could be leaving some luster behind if you don't mix it together before you put it in your resin. You got a new knee install. Congrats on the upgrade. Hope you're healing well. Last color is going to be chocolate brown by Just Resin. I love opening new jars of paint. Don't get crazy it's not because of the smell it's just because it's fresh creamy goodness of resin. I like to make sure my colors are really opaque so I arguably add more pigment than necessary. That's okay with me. Beautiful chocolate color with kind of a gold interference and lastly I'm going to use some color passion. It's called Moondust. I already had one open and it is in here. I like about the Moondust is it has a whole bunch of different size particles of glitter and it has that rainbowy halo look to it. For glitters I for real overload and kind of make almost a slurry with it because glitter can be deceptive in resin kind of like nail polish. You think you have a whole bunch in there and then it kind of just dissipates. Beautiful love it. Okay let's see what we can do with my mess that I've created. I'm going to start by adding some of the fourth inch fire glass. It's done in this corner well corner of the circle. And I don't want it to come directly up into the middle. When you're doing DOD you really want to avoid having really hard peaks because that's not natural. It's not a mountain. It's not a McDonald's sign. It's just no it's something not uniform because nature usually doesn't really grow that way. So just make an interesting shape to start your design. I always put my glass on first so that I can get an idea of the shape and completely pull it off if I don't like what it's looking like without having resin down so that none of my glass is wasted. Awesome. We're also going to add some glitter glass later super hot about that.  The center or the druzy. Anytime I add a color I kind of thin it out with my finger or a popsicle stick. Because when you pour resin out it's going to lay at maybe a fourth inch depending on your ambient temperature and your resin's temperature and your resin's viscosity when resin will level off at an eighth inch. So essentially I'm pre-leveling it off so that I can reduce the amount of mixing that my colors the lines will do. I hope that makes sense. I do not do grease the pan or skim coat on my geodes because of the same reason. I don't want to give my colors any extra opportunity to mix together. I always do some kind of peaks kind of like string lights or drapes. Right love it so far love it love it. Let's take our custom teal. You can see that I didn't put this color right up next to the first color because I'm going to help itself level again by pushing the second color just up next to the first color. So doing this will help it level out some. I usually do the inside first and then the outside. I don't know that that is beneficial. One way or the other if you do the outside first than the inside. This is just how I do it. I hope you've all had a good week so far. Had a good weekend. Thank you to everybody that came down to our classes again. We'll probably have one more in-person class before the end of the year and then we'll start planning our classes for next year. Are you guys wording better than I did? It's quite likely. So you can see where I'm moving the resin. It's leaving kind of a relief essentially scraping that resin. Since resin self-levels it'll fill back in all on its own. I don't have to do anything. Another important note when you're doing geodes is don't make each line the same thickness and don't just repeat the colors exactly. So don't do gold, aqua, brown, white, gold, aqua, brown, white, gold, aqua, brown, white. Marry it a little bit and that will help your piece look like it has a more natural flow. So I'm doing this piece as if I have like a quarter cut of a geode of a slice.  I'm like that about a lot of things but I like my art to have not so much I like it to have balance in a different way. I'm struggling having words for how I typically lay out my designs. But if you follow me for any length of time then you know what I'm talking about. I'm going to try to make the lines on this side a little bit thicker than the other side because I have so much room on this side versus this side. This is titanium white and I do have some still in stock if that's something you're looking for. I know it's one of the colors I sell out of the most quickly but in this moment I have probably 30 left of the 80 I had a few days ago. It is one of my favorite whites. So this is the deep turquoise by color passion. This is also a base cell activator so having it under the other colors will create cells and the cell color will be whatever colors on top of it. So for example if I push this white over the deep turquoise my cells will be white. If I push red over the deep turquoise my cells will be red so on and so forth. In fact I'll probably do a little bit of that in this video so you guys can see kind of the difference in what happens when you push another color over. Have y'all of you guys tried to do a GF before? There's so many different ways to do them. This is just my favorite way. Also the gold glitter that we made I'll be putting that on last after I manipulate everything around because when you hit resin with heat it thins it out and so when you have a particle suspended like with a mica or glitter bring it a kind of flake you're going to cause that particle to sink or to kind of thin out a little bit because you heated it. So I'm going to not add the glitter till after I've done all the heat that I'm going to do on this piece except for like a final popping of bubbles. I'm really liking this color palette a lot. I should probably use it more often. It's my opinion that the most classic geodes have the jewel tones. Is it only color passion that works for the pushover? So to my knowledge, yes. There used to be a line from Stone Coat that did the same thing but they just continued it. So to my knowledge color passion is the only brand that will do base cells. Now I'm open to being proven wrong but you have to prove me wrong. Like tell me what other brand would do it so that I can get some and sample it and make sure because you know new stuff comes out every day. Give me this information and so if there's something out that I don't know about let me know. Thanks so much Marcy. Have a safe flight. Marcy and I are also working on some class dates out on the west coast for the new year. If you guys are interested make sure you subscribe to my newsletter on my website. That is where I post all my updates on when we have new colors come in, when we have a sale, and when we have new classes. So it seems like my table is a little bit maybe off because things are still falling this way. So I'm going to rotate it to see if that helps things come back this way just a little bit. So I have a lot left of this color so I'm going to put a really thick line of it. I know a lot of people that will use hot glue or a sculpey to kind of dam off in between your colors but if you take your time and don't use too much heat make sure your resin is not too thin then you really don't have to go through all of that. Having said I'm going to be adding a lot of heat so that I do get some design purposefully from melding because some of these colors together. Also in accidents like this happened this little I don't get worked up about it because geodes often will have color that travels into different veins, different layers, and also I find beauty and perfection. Maybe I'm alone on that. I can't wait to add the glitter glass to this and all of the blue glitter from color fashion. It's going to be amazing. If you don't know you can get all of these colors and more I have over 800 colors on my website artistilldebt.com and we add more fine it seems. We just added this resin that I'm using to our website today. It is our resin from Mix Media Girl. That's a pretty cool resin I think. We're going to see how it sells up in a minute. Do you guys have any question about this resin or any other resin or geodes or any other designs that I tend to do? A piece that I keep for our art show coming up in October. If you guys don't know we have an art show coming up in the film it's going to be a really great show. Vamp will have a piece in it, Tudor will have a piece in it, and of course Jeff and I will have multiple pieces in the show. Oh, I was confused for a second. I want to learn not alone in my I guess my I don't know what it is my attraction to imperfection and art which is kind of bizarre since it can be quite a perfectionist in many other facets of my life. No shame, no shame. But I think everybody has things that they're particular about and other things that they're just like meh. Bowie just walked up. I'm sure he has missed you guys. I'm a good boy. You guys don't know the director of our studio is named Bowie and he is precious little big boy. I'll show you guys my little logo in a minute. I didn't know that about the guy with the mansion wanting imperfection in his arms. That's really neat. I have to know where Tammy got the arms on her spinner. Carol, I think she got those from I can't remember the name. Maybe Erica Hughes? I can't remember. Someone not in the country in the U.S. anyways. But Jeff and I have been looking into creating arms for a spinner as well.  I brought it up to our builder and he may have been confused or maybe I was confused. One of the two people in the conversation were confused and it could have been me. I just got to draw it out. I don't want to, I absolutely don't want to take anything from the original creator. There's some stuff that I want to adjust to make it really suitable for my cradle board. So I'm going to be working on that soon. All right. So we have our base colors down and it looks like this. Now, and I just happen to have one right over here. But one second because I have resin on my back. I love resin. Alrighty. So now's the fun part to me. I can start manipulating the lines even more using heat. I'm going to use our concentrator nozzle. This is on my website called a groom's cake because it's a small wedding cake. I'm going to go ahead and pop the bubbles first. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. You guys don't know every dollar that is donated to the channel goes right back into it and every dollar is very much appreciated. All right. So I'm going to push this chocolate into the tea we have here and also they want to push the white into this aqua here. I'm just going to create a little bit of a preheat just for a little bit of space to push the resin inward. Some of that green came forward. That's fine. I'm just going to push a little bit out on the other areas as well so it makes sense. It's like that. And now I'm going to do it to this chocolate over here. And in theory I should get some really rad cells. Where's mine? Now I'm getting rid of a lot of my peaks doing this but it's like the look so much that I'm fine with it. I'm going to bring you guys in for close up and just I'm going to hit these areas that I just manipulated with some heat to get them to sell up a little bit more because oftentimes a little bit of heat is all you need for really awesome to something. I think I'm going to leave it actually. I wasn't going to add another bit of texture to these outside areas but I don't want it to get too busy. So what I'm going to do is draw a line of light through this bit to kind of get some more directional lines to the geode since we have so much action in some areas. This resin is letting me pull a really long line. Very impressed. And I think I'm going to do a chocolate line through here just to bring back some of that classic line that people come to expect out of resin geodes. Missing some alcohol on it. So I'm not going to do that because I'm not going to be able to control where any of that mist goes. And I'm not sure that really needs a mist of alcohol because I have the cells kind of where I want them. Obviously could. Totally could. I just may not for this one specifically. Also just realized I don't have any clear for my geode. So I'm going to probably use this glitter mix for that. Okay so let's make some glitter lines. You can see that this is super thick now. Which is fine. I kind of want it to be kind of a thicker consistency so that you can pull a line with it without having it kind of jump. Not going to be able to pull a full line because it does have a lot of purple in it. This is definitely not going to stretch the whole way. Sadly. We're so close. We made it. Just barely. Another line of this. Probably, probably, probably where the gold and green really have a formula for where I add these extra little lines. Except for that I want them to stand out. So I'll always put right there and right here. Totally cool that I think I'm going to do an on-purpose one maybe right here. I'm just going to add a dollop of this chocolate. I'm going to try to be as careful as possible to only let it be in a circle and not kind of trail away. Then I'm going to add another glitter, a little dollop. I think she's looking at me. Then I have to put this gold over. I don't have any other clear. You should leave clear so that you can put it on your fire glass and it will help it to adhere to the board. I'm just going to hit this with a key so that it melts into my board. Then I'm going to add some glitter glass because what is a geo without glitter glass? I have glitter glass on my website but you can also get it from MyerImports.com. He's going to code ATD2022. We'll give you super awesome discount. I think it's like 10%. I'm going to melt this down so that it runs into time for glitter glass. I have gold glitter glass and white glitter glass. I think I'm going to put the gold. It's called white. It's actually clear. I'm going to put the clear in the middle. Maybe I'll kind of surround the clear with the gold into our little geoid circle to make it sparkle. How'd you do the little circle again?  Nothing too crazy but since resin is going to self level when you put more resin on top of it it's going to disperse and so it just disperses out just like that so you'll have that little ring kind of look. Now typically I add another area of glass but I think I'm going to leave this one to simplicity because we have this out here and I think it's awesome. I'm going to take you guys down and give you a close-up and y'all let me know what you think. Okay sorry about that movement. This one was an accident because I put the gold it kind of rolled over the light aqua color that we made and because this is a base cell it just started selling. That is also why all of these cells are here because it's over our base cell. Also this dark color is a base cell and it's over this one the white the titanium and that is why these cells aren't really awesome right? So this is with a paste over a base cell this is with a base cell over a paste just so you can get kind of an idea of the difference. Now this is chocolate over the base cell and our little dollop of geode right there so that's how I do my super simple geodes. So what do you guys think? Would you change anything when you do it on your own? Oh yeah love the chocolate that deep rich chocolate color with that gold kind of interference it's one of my favorites. It has a sparkle to it that's not abrasive and in your face love it. So I taught this one at our class in Seguin. I didn't have all the exact colors that I had down there but this is my for here version. So yeah I've got to go start filling more orders and do inventory to put other orders in for pigments for you guys so please let me know what you think down in the comments below. If you are interested in getting any of these colors you can get them from me at artistilldebt.com. One more time they are this teal color is just resin breakfast at Tiffany's mixed with just a little bit of deep turquoise from color passion. The color passion is what is making these cells come up. The gold is just resin bright gold the white is titanium by just resin. The glitter is color passion moon dust. The dark color is color passion deep turquoise. The brown is chocolate by just resin and then the sparkle is the clear or white glitter glass in the super shard size. You can get those from my website or mire imports.com and yeah I hope you guys have an awesome rest of your day. If you're in Florida please be safe. Thank you to everyone who tuned in to see what we're up to today. We'll be back live tomorrow at 6 p.m. central to do some awesome resin oceans with spray paint. So yeah I'll see you guys tomorrow till then be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through and always remember that we do the dust so you don't have to. We'll see you guys next time. Bye


Alright everyone, I got Tony here to help me out. He can he can wave. Yes. He exists.  That was really good and just hold that shift and you can shift out of it Good and let's do just one more just like that. Just learning how to Load that position this time with our legs out further. That's good man So this one is just like the others, but it's a slightly different position when you have your feet outward It's a little easier to get that balance point, right?


Hi, I'm Kathy Fiala. I'm one of our ESU 8 school psychologists and our webinar today is about multi-tiered systems of support. Today we're going to talk about what is MTSS and where does it fit in your school system. Multi-tiered systems of support in Nebraska has been defined as a service delivery system based on the concept that some students require early and powerful general education interventions of increasing intensity. It does fall under the umbrella of the school improvement process. So if we look at our graphic here on the screen, multi-tiered systems of support for both academic and behavior is a system to support all students, again in both the academic and the behavior areas. It's a layered continuum of support. We look at tier one. Tier one is considered to be our core program. That's where we really work to meet the needs of most of the students in our district, again both academically and behaviorally. When we do a good job there, we can meet the needs of 80 to 90 percent of our students and then that allows us to have the resources to meet the needs of students in tier two and tier three. So tier two is our targeted tier where we're going to provide more intensive instruction at the first sign that a student is lagging behind and we're hoping that that's about 10 to 15 percent of students. And then tier three our intensive level is where we provide the most intensive level of support to students based on their need, hopefully only about one to five percent of students. As we move up the pyramid, the supports get more intensive. How do these models support each other? So if we think about the continuous improvement cycle where we plan and we implement and we evaluate and we improve, but then we continue going, we don't stop, the same is true with our problem solving model for multi-tier systems of support. We're going to identify a problem. We're going to analyze that problem by collecting data and then we're going to make a plan. We're going to implement the plan and then we're going to reflect and again collect some more data to evaluate what how did our plan do and we're going to continue problem solving. So again those those problem solving cycles just continue. We're going to talk about next the key components of multi-tier systems of support. One of the very key components is instruction and intervention. We would be implementing evidence based programs and instructional delivery practices and those programs and practices are going to increase in intensity as students needs increase. We're going to also have a comprehensive assessment system so that we can make decisions. We're going to have technically adequate assessments for screening for progress monitoring for diagnostics and for outcomes and we're going to not just use one piece of information. We're going to have multiple data sources to help us make decisions about how students are doing and to help inform our instruction. We're also going to have some pre-established decision rules so that when we're looking at the data we know what decisions to make for students to increase support, decrease support or change the plan. Another key component is fidelity and having a support system so we're going to make sure that we're gathering instructional data through fidelity observations and then we're going to use that data to inform our professional development and support needs for our teachers and our instructional staff. Also as we alluded to already it is a continuous improvement process so even at a systems level we're going to be looking at student data and MTSS implementation fidelity data to evaluate how we're doing and make changes as needed. Another key component of MTSS is teaming. We're all going to work together to meet the needs of students. MTSS multi-tier systems of support is based on the public health model and so this season for influenza we're going to we're going to talk about influenza prevention in the health model so even in the public health model for influenza prevention they have tiers of support also and it's it's a layered approach as well and so if we look at tier one in the public health model, tier one what what is told for all of us to do to prevent influenza is to do things like wash our hands and to cough and sneeze into our elbow so that we prevent that particular condition influenza from it from occurring and that tier one hand washing and those basic good health practices that's for everyone then we have tier two for influenza prevention is the flu shot. The goal of the flu shot is to reduce the chances of at-risk individuals contracting that condition so it's for those people who don't have the condition but who are at an increased risk like maybe really young children people who work around a lot of germs like those of us in schools, doctors, nurses and then also the elderly, elderly patients or elderly people who would also be at an increased risk for getting the flu and for having complications from the flu. There might be other people with compromised immune systems or things like that so it's for those who who don't yet have the flu but are at an increased risk for getting the flu. Then we have tier three which would be things like bed rest, medication, medical supervision so this is for people who unfortunately have the flu and the goal at tier three is to lessen the effect or the symptoms of the flu or even cure it if possible and it's for those who have already contracted the condition. The key aspect here is that all three of the tiers work together it's a layered approach so we use all three of these all together. We would never tell an elderly patient that once you get the flu shot well gosh you don't need to wash your hands anymore of course not you know we still continue to use tier one even when we've already had the flu shot. Another important aspect is that you don't go through each tier in succession before getting the needed level of support so if a patient already has the flu there's little reason to give a flu shot okay so they've already been washing their hands but they didn't get a flu shot now they've gotten the flu the doctor won't say well you know you didn't have your flu shot yet so we're going to do that first before we do anything else to help you get over the flu. In the same way it would be foolish for us in education to insist that a student would have to fail at a lower level of support than what's needed before allowing them to get the level of support they need so also in in education our multi-tier systems of support is a layered approach where we have all three of the tiers working together. Now we're going to talk a little bit more about each tier so our core instruction is tier one the goal the the key components of tier one is to provide rich learning opportunities for all students that are aligned to the standards we're going to have differentiation within our core instruction also based on multiple sources of data we're going to provide a scaffolded model of grade level rigor aligned to all the standards and scaffolded means scaffolded for different students who just to meet their needs within tier one we know not all students in your classroom learn at exactly the same level in the same rate and also all of our instructional practices that we use in tier one need to be supported by evidence and research we need to make sure that that tier one instruction is very strong we're going to have both whole group and differentiate its small group instruction in tier one we're also going to include both skill and knowledge based competencies we would also need a way to measure the mastery of the skills and knowledge that we've taught and the time recommendations for language art should include a hundred and fifty minutes daily for k through two and a hundred and twenty to a hundred and fifty minutes daily for grades three through five the instruction at this level is going to reflect the fidelity of standards based instruction there's going to be data driven goals and we're going to use research based practices and support for teachers we talked before about needing to measure fidelity and so how would we do that well it could be walk through observations could have teachers video record themselves and you know send it to someone who could look at their fidelity they could do some self-assessment as well will review students academic data their work and their outcomes for student proficiency with all those things in place we should be able to meet the needs of 80 to 85 percent to 90 percent of students as evidenced by students meeting grade level standards tier two would be that targeted instruction tier and we identify students for needing tier two by the fact that they haven't met the cut scores on the universal screening we're going to provide tier two supports in addition to tier one and we're hoping to meet the needs of 10 to 15 percent of students at this level tier two interventions it's really important that they're systematic and research based and our focus here is on specific skills rather than on standards so we're looking to shore up those gaps that students have at this level we want to make sure we have a clear description available of the intervention being used and how fidelity to it will be monitored we're also going to look at that we have the most highly trained individuals implementing our interventions and we're making sure that those interventions are implemented with fidelity that is confirmed with measurement so we're going to have direct measures of fidelity for teachers teaching intervention just like we talked about for tier one as well and our progress monitoring data is going to help us see that student outcomes are being met the time requirements for tier two it's recommended a minimum intervention time of at least 30 minutes daily in grades k through five it's best to provide these interventions in small groups with no more than five students per group as students have more intensive needs we're going to maybe make those groups smaller or if they're not responding to intervention and special education students should not be excluded from receiving tier two interventions if they are identified as having that need so even though you have a special education student that doesn't automatically mean that that student has to be at that tier three level of support if they need tier three great but if they need tier two we want to put them at tier two we're going to put the student where they need based on our decision rules and our universal screening data and also our intervention placement test students who receive tier two interventions are going to be progress monitored weekly and we're going to look at their data when we have a minimum of eight data points we're going to look at their data more frequently than that but but we won't make any any major decisions until we have eight data points and at that time we could look at if they're not making adequate adequate progress and maybe we need to strengthen the current intervention or do some additional problem solving we're going to monitor fidelity a minimum of three times before we make decisions to intensify instruction and if we were going to look at increasing the intensity of tier two it could include things like increasing the duration like how long the intervention is we could increase the frequency we could add some additional interventions or we could decrease the group size adding additional interventions could be something like if we've gathered some additional data and we see that the student is really struggling with with one key component we could add additional intervention for that one key component for example maybe it would be phonemic awareness or or some basic phonics skills or gosh this student is really struggling with sight words we could add some additional intervention in those areas to kind of layer on to that tier two intervention then we look at tier three are in most intensive level students are identified as needing tier three intervention if they're not making adequate progress in tier two and or by scoring very low on the universal screening so a guideline that could be followed would be students scoring below the tenth percentile rank tier three intervention is provided in addition to tier one instruction and we're going to be meeting the needs of hopefully only three to five percent of students at this level or less tier three interventions need to be very systematic research based and target the identified area again just like in tier two we're going to have a clear description of the intervention and how fidelity is going to be monitored and again we have effective intervention that is implemented by highly trained personnel implemented with fidelity and we're going to measure that fidelity just to make sure recommended minimum intervention times should be 45 to 60 minutes daily in grades k through five and it is hard to find that time um but sometimes we just have to be really creative with that we're going to have interventions occurring in small groups with no more than three students and we research is really showing that at tier three tier three effective group size really is two to three students um you know we have talked in the past about maybe one on one but the research shows that students really do better in small groups even than individually for most students um and here we're going to say again special education students are not excluded from receiving tier three interventions if they've been identified as needing that intervention we're going to progress monitor these students at least weekly maybe more often if it's recommended by the team and again once we have eight data points we're going to you know and we're going to evaluate how things are going we're going to monitor the fidelity of the intervention so that we can make sure that fidelity is not an issue for the student and that it really may if the student's not making progress we want to rule that out as an issue next we're going to talk about some core beliefs for mtss implementation so these are just i'm just going to hit some highlights i know you can you can read the screen um but some core beliefs that all staff needs to have to implement multi-tier systems of support these are just some real core things that we must all believe and one real important one is that you know what we've been doing has been working for all of the students that we serve um we really want to shift our focus to prevention we want to prevent academic and behavioral concerns for students um we we need to all believe that the student's performance is most influenced by the quality of the interventions and instruction we deliver and much less affected by individual student variables um research supports that um we all need to believe that all staff benefit from training and coaching supports quality of the instruction is directly related to the quality of the support provided for the staff um and we all need to believe that we're willing to make necessary changes to what we're doing as the data shows us even if what we've done we've been doing for the past many many years and it's worked for most students if the data shows that it's not working now then we all need to be willing to make changes and another core belief is that um we have high expectations for all students and for all staff we believe that all students can learn and achieve and that all staff can provide quality instruction and here's just a little bit of information about integrating school wide behavior and academic supports both are critical for school success both use the three tiered prevention model um both academics and behavior we utilize database decision making we're going to incorporate a team approach for both at the school the grade and the individual level and we're seeing that models that integrate both behavior and reading supports produce large the largest gains in literacy skills than when we only look at reading so just that behavior and and academics are so closely um related that if we just work on one we don't get the full benefit but when we work on both we see great outcomes and implementation of school wide positive behavior supports leads to increased academic engaged time and enhanced academic outcomes also um I will say that most districts um have been working if they've been working on anything it's been probably working on reading and um you know research continues to support that we really see the greatest gains for academics in general if we focus on reading I'm not saying that we shouldn't build supports for math and for other areas um yes we'll get outcomes from that too but it does make sense to focus on reading research is showing that that when we start in the reading area and build a good model with reading we do see carryover of those skills to other academic areas so we've talked in the past about response to intervention RTI and now we're talking about multi-tier systems of support and I think sometimes that that just really gets confusing um and sometimes we use those those acronyms interchangeably and we're going to stop doing that so in Nebraska um we're definitely having a shift in approach we're going to define these acronyms we are going to use both of them but they are different things so RTI is response to intervention MTSS is multi-tier systems of supports and here is how Nebraska is defining these systems as we already talked about multi-tier systems of support is a service delivery system based on the concept that some students require early and powerful general education interventions of increasing intensity MTSS has a broader focus a district and school-wide approach building system of supports for all students RTI is defined as practices used to determine eligibility for special education services in the category of specific learning disability so our state is is defining these these um acronyms for us differently and I think that's really going to help us to all have common language differences between RTI and MTSS so MTSS focuses on improving skills of teachers to more effectively address academic and behavioral development and we've talked about that already today how we yes we are focusing on student data but we're also focusing on our instructional data because when we have strong instruction we are going to meet the needs of more students and we're going to prevent academic difficulties and behavior difficulties MTSS provides multiple levels of support for all learners struggling through advanced including students who are receiving special education supports MTSS also includes a focus on intervention but it has a stronger goal of prevention than a response to intervention does and that's really a key key aspect multi-tier systems of support has a very strong goal of prevention just like that public health model we want to prevent the condition from occurring MTSS requires that teachers administrators district personnel and student support specialists change the way that we have traditionally worked together we're going to have a greater focus on collaboration to provide support to all students regardless of the students label more differences between RTI and MTSS data are used in MTSS to inform and improve the quality of instruction the RTI process most often focuses on student data and evaluating student progress so there's a big difference mostly in RTI we're going to be looking at student data with MTSS we are going to be looking at instructional data as well as student outcome data MTSS is a system that needs to be able to allocate resources and support for students receiving instruction and for teachers and other support staff who are responsible for instruction so we need to be able to allocate resources for professional development and coaching support for teachers there's a strong emphasis on differentiated coaching and training support for teachers to reach the highest level of implementation possible so MTSS also is not these things it's not simply revamping the student assistance team process it's not what we've already been doing just with a different name across the state of Nebraska there are very few schools who have been doing all levels of multi-tier systems of support really well so we don't want to say we've already been doing that because probably we haven't we probably don't have all components in place we might be building a great system but we're still working toward a better system so MTSS is not what we've already been doing if we think that it is then we're just going to keep doing what we've been doing just with a different name we really need to focus on change MTSS is not just pulling kids for some extra help is not something that you do to children it's not about just finding those kids who are not responding for a special education evaluation we're going to next go through a case example and this is just you know a possible situation that could arise in any district so we have Hannah Hannah is a new second grade student to the district after one day of the general education instruction it is clear that Hannah is struggling she is significantly behind the peers in her new school in reading what can we do for Hannah so if we have Hannah in a school with a traditional model does not have multi-tier systems of support a traditional model this is what it might look like the teacher would refer Hannah to the school student assistance team the sat meeting would be scheduled for the following week and then at that sat meeting when it's when it's scheduled it's decided that the teacher should read material allowed to Hannah in the classroom and it's also recommended to have the teacher talk to the title one teacher to see if Hannah could receive some title one help the dibbles assessment is given with Hannah performing in the at-risk range and the second lowest in the second grade across all students general and special education students in that district she's the second lowest weekly progress monitoring is initiated the title one teacher begins seeing Hannah for 20 minutes each day they work on sight words and reading the weekly story from the classroom because they're just supporting the classroom instruction after six weeks the sat team meets again and reviews Hannah's progress her dibbles progress monitoring scores remain in a similar range with little progress noted she's just not growing at the sat meeting will classroom teacher noted that when reviewing Hannah's Q file she has had significant absences throughout her schooling in kindergarten she missed 30 days in first grade she missed 45 days also she has changed schools three times since beginning kindergarten the sat team decided to refer Hannah for a special education evaluation unfortunately the school psychologist had other referrals prior to getting to Hannah's so she didn't begin Hannah's evaluation for two weeks so again we've had a lot of weeks that have gone on for Hannah at the MDT needing the testing results were shared Hannah's IQ was 80 and her reading scores ranged from 63 to 69 there was not a significant discrepancy of 20 points between her measured IQ and her achievement also the number of absences would have been an exclusionary factor for verification of specific learning disability so Hannah did not qualify for special education services she continued with general education support and continued to perform at a low level getting further behind behind her peers despite good attendance at her new school now let's look at how things might be different for Hannah in a school with multi-tier systems of support so within a few days of entry to the district screening is conducted Hannah scores indicate that she is at risk in performing well below the other second graders at the school again she's the second lowest student in the district in second grade our decision rules based on that data indicate that placement testing is warranted to determine Hannah's correct intervention and placement weekly progress monitoring is initiated further assessment is conducted to determine Hannah's placement within the established intervention programs in the district and her placement testing indicates that she is placed into the early intervention in reading program EIR at lesson one for Hannah this will be tier three intervention this will be in addition to tier one reading and behavior intervention there is not a group at this exact level in the school so the MTSS team makes a plan for Hannah to fast track through the initial lessons so she can join the group that is at lesson 20 in two weeks time intervention begins the next day Hannah has group intervention for 45 minutes an individual intervention for 20 minutes each day this is in addition to her strong core reading instruction the classroom teacher continues to work with her in the classroom to help her be successful when she cannot read the material her teacher also provides differentiated small group intervention in the classroom for Hannah Hannah's progress is monitored and reviewed weekly the goal is for Hannah to be at benchmark by the end of second grade at the eight week data check-in Hannah is showing slow progress the gap is not increasing but it's not decreasing either and the other members of the intervention group are performing at a higher level than Hannah and I should also say here that at this point fidelity data would show that it's not a fidelity issue the teacher is teaching with great fidelity the instruction is strong so additional data are gathered through the individual student problem solving process Hannah has some phonemic awareness gaps and motivation is also determined to be an issue based on the data phonemic awareness instruction and practice is built into her 20 minute individual intervention time and a behavior incentive is also added throughout Hannah's day Hannah's progress continues to be monitored closely and her progress is improving at the next next eight week check-in Hannah's performance is at a level with her intervention group members her data indicate that she is closing the gap and is on track to reach benchmark at the end of second grade mission accomplished maybe we have to remember though that problem solving is continuous we would continue to monitor Hannah and the rest of her group members continue to monitor them closely at the earliest sign that her progress or any of the group members progress is not at the level where we would expect it to be or Hannah's not on track if she starts falling off of her aim line to meet that end of your goal then again we would we would conduct problem solving so why make this why make this shift to multi-tier systems of support and response to intervention well one reason is to challenge the status quo let's not just keep doing what we've been doing let's let's change things for the better so here are some concerns about the IQ achievement discrepancy model for verification for students for special education first of all assessments do not always discriminate between disabilities and the results of inadequate teaching so a student who has received poor instruction for a couple years looks very similar to a student with an actual disability students can be misidentified due to teacher or testing bias typically students have to fail in order to qualify for special education services so we really don't get a get to address student needs right at the moment where they start falling behind we have to wait they have to fail for quite a while before they'll qualify and meet the criteria just like Hannah results from assessments don't usually real specifically inform what that student needs instructionally and many students do not meet the discrepancy criteria but definitely those students would benefit from early identification and support to remedy their skills there are some advantage of the IQ achievement discrepancy model although many professionals are frustrated with this model the model does possess a few advantages that might appeal to some schools so it's an established practice it's what we've been doing it's pretty easy to do a teacher doesn't have to spend a great amount of time in identifying what the student needs because a certified dice diagnostician or a school psychologist conducts the IQ and the achievement testing and the identification procedure only requires a one-time assessment it really isn't ongoing problem solving it's just kind of that one one-time assessment doesn't mean that those are good reasons to continue using that model it just means that there could be some advantages for some for some who might want to continue with that model there are some observations from schools that suggest lower expectations so when students are not making progress in a school that has lower expectations oftentimes the focus is not on what the adults are doing we don't we don't think about what could we do to change things we don't think about examining the fidelity to the excuse of the instruction we don't really look at dosage of the intervention so is the student actually getting the intervention for the whole time that it's planned is the student actively participating those kinds of things we don't usually look at the group size we don't look at the precision of the instructor and the fidelity we don't usually look at the special education system infrastructure instead we just decide that well that student isn't making progress because that student can't because they have a family history of learning issues because they have a low IQ because oh that's a special education student we can't expect them to make progress it's those kinds of things so the focus and sense of urgency is all is often on getting a different program or getting the student into a more restrictive special education placement or getting accommodations for testing here's what rule 51 says about multi-tier systems of support and student assistance teams so multi-tier systems of support would fall under that comparable problem solving team and so you can see that there has to be a team used prior to referral for an evaluation it says here that the problem solving team should utilize and document problem solving and intervention strategies to assist the teacher in the provision of general education and then it just talks about how after the team feels that all alternatives have been explored then a referral for an evaluation should be completed so there isn't really a lot said about exactly what that should look like just a little bit of information in our special education law so a comparable problem solving team process this is this is a way that it might be used within MTSS so following the benchmark the data would be reviewed and students are placed in intervention by the MTSS team or comparable problem solving team the data both progress monitoring and intervention mastery data are collected and reviewed regularly by the team if the student is not showing adequate progress the team meets to determine the need for a multi-disciplinary team evaluation again that could be you know changing to the student assistance team or it could be that your MTSS team just encompasses that role if the student is very discrepant from peers and other factors have been ruled out for example other factors could be student attendance student engagement fidelity issues teaching fidelity issues those kinds of things so if we've ruled out all other possible causes then the student may be considered for special education at any time if schools are thinking about using RTI for verification instead of the IQ achievement discrepancy model these are some prerequisites that that our team has has decided would be necessary so if we look at just what would need to be in place well there would need to be systematic core reading system which would include a minimum of a 90-minute uninterrupted reading block that includes both whole group instruction and small group instruction with differentiation explicit instruction a high student response rate students engaged in real reading during their reading instruction and measures of student learning based on skills and knowledge taught for that weaker unit also use of a universal screener for all students in an established system of using that universal screening data to determine students who need additional support so there would be some decision rules and also systematically looking at data annually to determine how effective is the core reading system for all students are we meeting the needs of 80 to 90 percent of students if you were considering building your your system of supports here are just we came up with some possible timelines again this does not mean this is what you would have to do but these are just some ideas to get you started thinking so during the rest of this school year if you don't already have research-based interventions in place you could work on selecting research-based interventions for implementation maybe the rest of this school year if you can get training or for next school year determine who needs to be trained for implementing those interventions you might have some staff that are already trained and then you would have staff that would need to be trained established an intervention schedule for the 2018-2019 school year use the end of year universal screening data to place students into intervention groups for the following year so that right away at the beginning of the year those intervention groups are established and ready to go also establish a system of matching the student to the correct intervention most interventions that are comprehensive and good interventions should have a placement test and so you'd want a system for determining who receives that placement test it's probably going to be anybody who does not meet the benchmark would be would you would flag those students for possible placement testing for intervention and other things you could do gather intervention documentation so if you already have interventions going on your school psychologist can provide you with an intervention documentation form where where we would actually where the interventionist would record the actual minutes of intervention yes it's scheduled from 1020 to 1040 every day however most days the students don't come right away and then we end up leaving early because they have to get to recess or whatever but we're going to record actual minutes in intervention actual start time actual stop time student attendance data student engagement data student error data and documentation of missed intervention sessions it really is important to look at that I know in schools that I've been in we've had some group issues and when we looked at the documentation we've seen that oh gosh the interventionist was sick a lot and nobody really knew about it well of course people knew about it but people who were looking at the data we weren't aware of that and and so because we weren't aware of it things hadn't been changed to get someone to fill in for that interventionist so anyway it is important to gather that data and then to be able to look at it and to do some problem solving address issues with the intervention documentation data just like what I was talking about sometimes there's some scheduling issues like oh gosh we plan this intervention to go right up until you know lunch but actually the students need to have time to do the you know use the restroom and wash their hands before lunch so that means our intervention is cut short every day so we have to do some problem solving around those issues you could also list all students receiving intervention on an intervention tracking form again your school psychologist could provide you with that review data of students receiving intervention quarterly see how they're doing and you could contact our support team our school psychologist and our professional development team to help you determine your level of implementation and determine next steps within our within our state there is definitely a push toward a multi-tier system of support and developing those systems for schools and they're working on a self-assessment for districts to use and it's kind of in the in the tryout phase and so we will definitely keep districts posted on that and and advocate for you to use that when it's ready for districts to use and we will be bringing that to you as soon as possible. Another thing that I want to mention as we think about timelines is that we have partnered with some surrounding ESUs ESU-1 and ESU-7 I believe to have some training this summer for interventions and the interventions that are being trained on this summer are early interventions in reading EIR and also corrective reading and you should have your district should have received notification of that training and a flyer has been sent out to administrators and probably title reading teachers if you need more information on that you can contact your school psychologist or anyone in the professional development department at the ESU or look on our website we love to have you register for that as soon as possible. Thinking about next year things that you could plan for would be gather fidelity data on your core and intervention delivery address needs established by the fidelity data so plan for coaching professional development support again attend training on interventions access coaching for your district's next steps again that coaching could be provided through your school psychologist and the professional development department at ESU-8 learn how to intensify interventions for individual students that's something that we can work with you on and move your district's MTSS process beyond reading so looking maybe at that behavior area and work toward creating a process for using RTI for SLD verification and that completes our presentation today thank you very much for participating in this webinar and for listening if you have questions please don't hesitate to shoot me an email you can find my email on our ESU website if you don't know it but it is cfiella8 at esu8.org also contact your school psychologist or anyone in the professional development department at ESU-8 thanks for your time and have a great rest of your day


Hey, Psych2Goers and welcome back to another video. Thank you all so much for the love and support that you've given us, enabling us to make yet another exploration into everyday psychology. So, let's begin. Depression is a difficult condition to live with and affects the way a person functions and how they feel about the world around them. It also is the most common psychiatric condition and has affected up to 7.1% of the US population. But did you know depression comes in many different forms and impacts each person differently? Sometimes depression can come with delusions or hallucinations, known as psychotic features. Earning the name psychotic depression, these bring a new cast of issues to a disorder that is already troublesome to deal with. Please note that this video is for informative purposes only. It's not intended to diagnose any conditions or give mental health advice. Please reach out to a health care provider or mental health professional if you're experiencing similar struggles. Also, a word of caution for those who might be triggered by mentions of suicidal themes, which are discussed later on as well. With that said, to better understand what exactly psychotic depression is, here are 7 signs of major depression with psychotic features. 1. Feeling hopeless and helpless You might be thinking this seems very similar to standard depression. Yes, feeling hopeless and helpless is a huge indicator of both depression and psychotic depression. You may start doubting yourself and feel stuck in your situation. This can be over anything in your life. Perhaps you feel that you'll never progress in your job or maybe you feel that your mental state will never get better. 2. Holding false beliefs or more formally known as delusions They're possibly the biggest indicator that depression has psychotic features. Some people may believe that they're infected with some kind of disease. Others may believe that they've committed some sort of heinous crime. The delusions usually are related to the depressive symptoms. They're in some way causing you to feel negative about a certain scenario, whether it be in your brain or something you've done to others. 3. Poor concentration Have you found that your ability to concentrate has been affected as of late? Is it hard for you to start and finish tasks causing problems, especially with school and work performance? In psychotic depression, this can be in part due to either the psychotic features or the depressive features, other times both. With these features, the thoughts can be loud and overwhelming, making it difficult to focus on what's necessary. 4. Losing pleasure in activities Do you find yourself staying in more? Have your favorite hobbies lost their appeal? Do you keep asking yourself what's the point in anything anyway? Losing interest in activities that you once enjoyed is another huge indicator of depression. A combination of this with the psychotic features can take the pleasure out of anything you used to enjoy. 5. Feeling guilty Do you feel guilty because you think you committed a crime against someone?  This might all be fueled by guilt. It's another common issue in depression. This is often coupled with delusion, leading you to feel guilty over something you haven't done. Other times this can cause you to feel like a burden to others. These feelings in any scenario are often irrational and disproportionate to reality. This can be especially tricky in the presence of a delusion as the delusion may present itself as very realistic. 6. Suicidal ideation Plotting or thinking about ending your life is a tragic symptom of depression. Sometimes life can seem overwhelming and cruel to the point where it feels like all hope is lost. And on top of it all, experiencing intense delusions or hallucinations can make life extremely difficult. Especially since they're usually of a negative nature such as hearing voices criticizing you or believing you have an incurable disease. If you feel any signs of suicidal ideation it's highly recommended to seek help right away. There are resources and help available to get through the darkest of times. 7. Seeing or hearing things that aren't there Does it feel like you see and hear things that aren't actually there? Either in a direct or indirect way? For instance, seeing a shadow flicker versus an actual being. Hallucinations are less common sign of psychotic depression but may still appear. Similar to delusions, these usually come with a darker theme and actively hurt the person experiencing them. For example, someone may hear voices yelling at them and telling them that they're worthless. It is important to know that these psychotic symptoms do not dominate the depressive symptoms. In other psychotic disorders however like schizophrenia the psychotic symptoms are dominant over the depressive ones. Schizophrenia may or may not be accompanied by depression. This is why it's important to seek a professional diagnosis. We hope we were able to give you a little insight into some of the ways that psychotic depression differs from standard depression.

Okay guys, so Marc Gazelle, who famously sold his house in 2006 at the very top of the market and re-bought in 2012 at the very bottom, has warned us that he feels like we're in the final ending of the housing market and he's thinking about selling his house in California that he bought for under 3 million and it's worth well over 5 million today. Also Jay Bloom, a billionaire real estate developer warned us Thursday on Cavuto Coast to Coast that he feels like the real estate industry is getting hit by the perfect storm in terms of supply chain issues, a material cost and labor shortage and he feels like when those things work their self out that we're going to get hit with tons of new housing starts which is going to put downward pressure on pricing. Last weekend at a poll on Instagram where I asked you if you're feeling a slight shift in the market in terms of sellers at least being receptive more receptive than they have been earlier in the year to even having the conversation around possibly selling and what their home may be worth 76% of you said yes we're feeling the shift. Guys we're here the market is slowly starting to shift this is the moment that we've all been waiting on and today I want to talk about what we need to do to capitalize on this and before we get into that I want to let you know about this three-day bootcamp next week it's going to be May 10th 11th and 12th three hours per day it's going to be a red X bootcamp we're going to take the first hour each day and just work on red X how to use red X the second hour each day will be me making live calls in the third hour each week will be us role playing and me helping you with your scripts. I'm also going to do a session on my weekly email and take all of your questions so this is being hosted by red X there's a link in the description below or just DM me on Instagram if you're watching this on Facebook or some other platform you're also going to get a 15-day free trial of all red X products and if you're already a member you'll get a 15-day free trial of all the products you don't have so if you want to learn how to use red X straight from the guys at red X if you want to watch me make calls and utilize red X to cultivate prospects and if you want to role play and really work at this as a group this bootcamp could completely change the direction of your career okay let's get into it so over the last week my team has secured six new listings which is great because that's an uptick from what it's been throughout the year but what was even more interesting were the sellers who are open to having the conversation about possibly selling the ones that didn't list but are having those positive conversations with us about the possibility in the near future now that was a big huge uptick and that's really due to interest rates coming up kind of scaring some people off the fence and prices being so high now keep in mind my market I'm going after absentee owners second home buyers vacation properties which is what I've been telling you to go after I think that the same problem that we have with primary home owners is going to continue to be there I think it's going to continue to be there for a while right because they don't know where to go when they sell there's there's really nowhere to go unless they just you know put their name on a list they they've gotten what the builder they've secured something right the best primary home client that wants to upgrade or something like that is one that's going to buy and secure their property before they try to sell what's really difficult is most of the sellers out there they have to sell before they can buy and it's really hard to kind of be in that situation where it's kind of wishy-washy you don't really know where you're going to end up or you're going to be can't just put your house in the market on top of that they're locked into much lower interest rates than what we're seeing now so I believe the problem is going to continue with primary home sellers now I do believe that we're going to hit that moment of euphoria whereas the agents who have been working hard regardless of not getting as many listings as you used to per the amount of calls you're making but you are picking up new relationships you're inputting that data you're remarketing to these sellers I believe that you guys are going to see a rush of activity and it's only going to last for maybe two weeks three weeks something of that nature where as soon as we hit that point in the market where things are balancing out a little bit I think all the sellers that were on the fence are just going to rush in and they're going to call their agent they have a relationship with they're going to list their property and us as agents even though we've lost a pocket of buyers due to interest rates so on and so forth we're still going to have a lot of buyers we're going to be able to double in a lot of deals we're going to be able to sell a lot of properties quickly the rush of inventory is going to get gobbled up by the demand it's not really going to affect inventory at all in my mind and we're just going to see this kind of leveling out but there's going to be this window this moment of euphoria is what I want to call it where sellers are just calling us to sell and we're just basically taking orders and we're we've got a buyer on the back end this is going to be a very special moment and I believe we're getting closer and closer and closer every day to that moment now if you haven't seen my free 60 day challenge for real estate agents at zero to diamond dot com that includes scripts tutorials how to find phone numbers the whole nine yards it's free guys you need to go there right now put a link in the description as well it's a zero to diamond dot com and if you're looking for these

year whatever happened with that guys we're just creating relationships and we're churning we're mixing it up we're shaking the bushes here and the more that you call the more conversations that you have the more business you're going to close yes go out there and do social media go all in on social media make your calls in the morning whether it's calling people following up with people on social media as well as making calls to random property owners in your market not random targeted you're targeting the exact properties you want to sell the exact subdivisions neighborhoods if they're absentee owners right you're targeting expires that might have expired last week or last year right be very intentional with this and then all afternoon work on your marketing and branding with your weekly email with your social media all the other things that you know you need to do to create that presence but it's all going to come back to real live conversations yesterday I was chatting back and forth on the general channel and the zero diamond discord server and I said hey guys get ready for a big week what are you working on and someone commented said I haven't even gotten a listing six months in and I'm thinking right off the bat it took me eight months to make my first listing and to close my first deal so welcome to the club but what I went on to say is is how much time have you spent going after listings and what are those actions they say I spent a few hours till I get beat up on the phones and right then and there I knew they're not not spending enough time on the phone I said not enough time on the phone and it's not effective because you dread it they can't hear it in your voice that you're having fun guys you got to have fun with this plus you need to diversify your prospecting avenues I can only imagine he's only sort of prospecting or whatever but he went on to say that he's been calling absentee probate for sell boner expired and cancelled which was good he said yeah but I do need to have fun with it missed out on a 1.2 million dollar listing because I followed up too late right followed up too late that means you're just not in the game you're not passionate about this you're not going after it you're not going all in you're not committed you're not confident I said see the opportunity is all around you deals are closing all around us guys every day you wake up and look at MLS closings by the truckloads okay negative self-talk is the only thing in your way dig in work harder and have fun otherwise you're just hurting yourself guys realize you're not hurting me you're not hurting other successful agents by not going out there and succeeding you're not hurting anyone except for yourself your family your co-workers that want to see you succeed those are the only people that you're hurting and most of all yourself guys please step out of your own way right do the things that you need to do to get


Did you know that there are different types of narcissists? When we think of a narcissist, we think of someone who is self-absorbed and has little to no empathy for others. But that's not all narcissists. In this video, we will cover four different types of narcissists. This video is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice. With that said, here are some different types of narcissists. Number one, the grandiose narcissist. Have you ever encountered a person who is charming, self-absorbed, entitled, aggressive, and authoritarian? You feel that they are overly callous, aggressive, and think highly of themselves without trying to put themselves in other people's shoes. They're also argumentative and want to win in every altercation or in a slight misunderstanding. They are classified as grandiose narcissists. They portray the classical presentation of narcissistic personality disorder according to the criteria listed in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, BSM. They often seek validation from outward sources. When they are in a romantic relationship, grandiose narcissists try to obtain power by game-playing. As parents, they view their children as a narcissistic supply or an extension of themselves in order to obtain validation from other people. A grandiose narcissist is extroverted and displays overt expressions of superiority and entitlement. Number two, the vulnerable narcissist. The vulnerable narcissist is a person who appears unapproachable, unfriendly, or cold, negative, and unassertive. A person who is both high in neuroticism and self-centered will likely worry about their perceived superior status. They thrive on attention and accolades. They tend to give hints at how hard they've been working or how much they've achieved, yet look puzzled and perhaps even become astonished when they receive acknowledgement for their hard work or significant achievements. They have a self-image that is divided into a positive self-image with excessive pride and a negative self-image that is filled with shame. When they receive constructive criticism and gentle feedback, they become hypersensitive. Receiving only positive feedback gives them the ability to bury the negative shame-filled self-image. When these individuals receive feedback, they perceive them as an attack on their character, and this activates powerful feelings of self-disgust and self-blame and unavoidable shame. Vulnerable narcissists also blame other people and circumstances for their mistakes. They rarely accept responsibility for their actions. Number three, the communal narcissist. Have you ever encountered a person that was kind on the surface, but they're mean once you got to know them? If you have, then perhaps you're actually dealing with a communal narcissist. On the surface, a communal narcissist emphasizes warmth, agreeableness, and relatedness. They want to uphold an image of the most trustworthy and supportive person by the public. They try to gain this by portraying an image of friendliness and kindness. It's not wrong to actually be kind and friendly towards others. However, the key point here is the communal narcissist's motives are grandiosity, esteem, entitlement, and power. And number four, the malignant narcissist. Narcissism exists on a spectrum, and at the extreme end lies the malignant narcissist. This kind of narcissist is paranoid, immoral, cruel, aggressive, and sadistic. By creating chaos and taking people down, they feel pleasure. They may not be necessarily grandiose, extroverted, or neurotic, but the characteristics that this kind of narcissist has are closely associated with psychopathy, the dark triad, and antisocial personality disorder. With the rise of social media, we also find the simultaneous rise of the label narcissist. It is turned into a buzzword, therefore refrained from labeling, as it can actually be demonizing. Of course, when a truly narcissistic person receives an accurate diagnosis from a licensed professional, it will actually be helpful as it sheds light on their symptoms and gives them an opportunity to access a community of similar people so that they're on the road to recovery. Also, remember, narcissism exists on a spectrum, and some of us may have that narcissistic trait in us. And that's actually all right. The most important point here is to be self-aware and to have the drive to change yourself for the better. Did you find this video valuable? Tell us in the comments below.

This is the SF Productions podcast network Let's be upfront about this from the pop culture bunker I'm Indy and I'm Mark if you can check out our audio podcast how I get my wife tree comics on iTunes or on our website SF podcast network comm so the annual TV Upfronts event recently finished. This is named for how networks ask advertisers to put up some advertising money up front So they like invest in the new shows. That's why it's called the upfronts And this is where they introduce the new shows for the season and they announce what existing shows will and won't make it into the next season Yeah, and a lot of this is still really iffy though, you know, it might change Yeah, yeah But in terms of the especially the the new shows being announced because they might get pushed back Some shows have already been pushed back where I'm gonna worry about those because a lot of those never end up ever happening Yes, so let's start with the losers the ones who are being cancelled the ones that we talked about last year in the upfront Yeah, many of whom are last year's upfront. Yes So for ABC revenge after four seasons being pulled Manhattan love story after four episodes being pulled. I think we call that one. Yeah selfie seven episodes Cristella one season Forever one season and that's kind of a surprise Yeah, but we only watched it about halfway through and then we said we catch up later So I can see that one because it almost became a self-limiting concept. Yes so the idea was a This physician who somehow has become immortal and he can be killed But he just comes back to life and now he's lived all these these lives in New York City And now he's a modern forensic scientist. Yeah, and but nobody knows about it. So that's the big thing It's like, how does no one figure this out? Yes The taste three season three seasons What was that? That was the cooking show with Nigella Lawson, and that's why it's no longer in the air Okay, she had all these problems. Yeah, okay, and then resurrection after two seasons another show We started with and then got to conspiracy Petered out. Yeah, yeah CBS the medallist after seven seasons and and it I think was less cancelled than sort of just died of natural death Reckless after one season. I think we watched the first episode went meh The Millers who got I would call 1.2 seasons. This was bizarre. It got renewed for a second season It went four episodes. They went now. We're done. Yeah, it's hardly ever happened Two and a half men our long national nightmare is over after 12 seasons Unforgettable three seasons. It was actually brought back by CBS and then it didn't work It's been saved by A&E is going to continue the show Battle Creek after one season Really more than like half a season You know they they I think it could have worked if they had stuck with the main concept Yeah, the initial concept was these This town that's in terrible financial trouble and the cops trying to work within that And this fbi guy comes in with all this money. It was a very interesting concept And then by like the second or third episode it was like, oh, it's a generic procedural now. Yes The mccarthy's one season Stalker one season. I'm kind of glad that got cancelled. That was creepy. Yeah And csi 15 seasons. There will be a two hour movie and then that's it That for the original csi the original csi the you know csi debuque is still going on. Yeah, uh-huh On the cw now cw had an incredible season this year in terms of their ratings So they didn't have to cancel very much a few shows that basically I didn't even know existed Backpackers with two episodes seed with two episodes and the messengers with three episodes Never heard of them Heart of dick sees the only one I ever heard of never watched it four seasons. Yes So they're keeping quite a bit. They are Not so much on fox The mindy project three seasons, but now it's officially announced hulu is picking it up And that was just so all over the place that you know, I'm not surprised I'm surprised it had three seasons because the show constantly changed. It's like bringing these characters. Oh, these characters never existed. Yeah Gang related one season Glee after six seasons Kitchen nightmares seven seasons. How do you get seven seasons out of that? Grace point one season. That was the show that was the broad church Remake from a uk show with the same actor, but it wasn't very good Utopia 12 episodes. That was their big event reality show that went nowhere The following three seasons. This is a show that keeps being brought back and they finally said we're done Yeah, backstrom one season red band society one season Malaney one season and weird loners, which they called one season, but it's more like three episodes Yeah, well, maybe they're gonna burn off NBC didn't do much better Parks and Rec Six seven seasons. Yep. Really really sad to see that go Parenthood six seasons A to Z half a season because they only got to the L's. Yeah Bad judge half a season working the end goals a few episodes the slap It was one season was a limited series Constantine one season and there was some Talk about maybe cw would like either pick up the show or even include the character in arrow No, they said then it's not gonna happen. That was more wishful thinking. Yeah And frankly the show Have a lot of potential but turned into Supernatural with a british guy. Yes Uh state of affairs one season that they made all the fuss about Marry me one season about a boy two seasons and one big happy a few episodes. Yeah So who was saved? Okay Yeah, who was making it the next season? ABC's American crime, which we have five episodes. I think on the dvr now. Yeah It's a very depressing show. It really is America's funniest home videos now without tom bergeron So did they announce who was gonna be? I they may have I have no idea. Yeah the bachelor Beyond the tank so that series that they just started as a spin-off of shark tank is already Not in another season. Yeah Blackish Castle. Yeah, that could that could I love nathan, but Castle's getting pretty long in the tooth Dancing with the stars, of course Fresh off the boat The here's a big surprise Gallivant I'm shocked. I'm shocked too, but I did like it. It's kind of a melbroxian Uh musical Musical comedy the fable. Yeah, it's weird and I'm shocked I was like we saw the last episode like it was clearly set it up for second season. Like well, that was a mistake Yeah, that's never gonna happen. I did happen. Oh my gosh The goldbergs Grey's anatomy how to get away with murder Marvel's agent carter got another season. There's another shocker. I think only because of the disney machine said We need something in that hole when agents of shield isn't on which also of course got a renewal The middle modern family, of course Nashville once upon a time scandal secrets and lies shark tank last man standing So they renewed a lot a lot As did cbs Two broke girls big bang theory, which is now already set up through season 10. I think they're in season eight Madam secretary mike and molly mom ncis new orleans scorpion bluebloods Csi cyber generic procedural criminal minds elementary another How many how many procedurals can you do the good wife, hawaii 5o ncis ncis Los Angeles person of interest odd couple the odd couple. Oh my god survivor Amazing race undercover boss So very little got changed there And really virtually nothing got changed on the cw. I think they Yeah, as you'll see they only have one new pilot. Wow So they renewed the 100 america's best next top model Arrow beauty and the beast flash izombie jane the virgin originals rain supernatural vampire diaries All the way across the board Fox uh, we had bobsburgers bones did get another season. You were wondering about that Yeah, I really think that one needs to go. I watch it. I still watch it. I'm part of the problem. Yeah But Oh, they're really stretching it there. Yeah brooklyn nine nine Yeah, we love that show empire, which is this huge hit that came out of nowhere Yes, and actually supposedly it was actually gaining audience Episode after episode which never happens Yeah But I think that just goes to show what you can do if you make it available online so you can catch up on those Right, you know, absolutely family guy Gotham last man on earth which kind of went from too much better and kind of hit a For a show that wasn't on for many episodes this season. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what they do with that In the next season, I'd almost like to see him move on to another city. Well, that's how they left it Yeah, wasn't it? Yeah with him and carol driving off into the sunset right another city Yeah, because that can get new people because he's poisoned everybody else by this point New girl, which is they're very interesting because they uh because zoe deschanel is pregnant And so they shot like the first four episodes of the next season before the end of this season And then fox and owls. Oh, it's gonna be mid-season So it's like well, thanks fox. You went to all this trouble The simpsons which hmm will it be the same? Yeah, yeah, so we have Harry shareer Who does like 40 voices on yes and some of the most recognizable voices on the show And the producers have said we'll get new voice actors. We'll move on What I was kind of hoping I'm an enormous simpsons fan keep this in mind But I was kind of hope kind of in the back of my mind said well eventually One of the voice actors main actors will die And that will end the series now. It's clear. This will be evergreen a la bug's bunny. Yes They'll just get another person in the role. We'll see how well it works without harry sure well, it's entirely possible that um They'll start trying to use new voice talent and they'll realize that it doesn't work and they will meet his demands, right? Yeah, which I didn't think were very unreasonable if what the media says is true Supposedly he just wanted to do other work other side jobs Which they allowed him to do in the past but now they say no, you can't do other jobs And he has a show in england where he's portraying nixon That he wants to do and it's like, you know, it's a voice role. He could do it anywhere on the planet Yeah, they've done that before And then sleepy hollow, which got another season NBC The black list celebrity apprentice chicago fire chicago pd chicago vet whatever it is chicago chicago chicago grim law and order svu Undatable which is going live this fall. They're gonna do a live sitcom. Oh geez and mysteries of laura Yeah Debra messing clearly has incriminating photos of NBC executives.

The challenge of achieving syntactic and semantic interoperability for efficient online processing of big Earth observation data remains unsolved. The proposed system combines world models with OGC web processing services to provide technical interoperability, allowing experts from different domains to collaborate on complex analyses. Users can connect the world models online to the data, which are stored as 3D spatiotemporal data cubes, making it accessible to non-experts and useful for extracting valuable information from EO and other gridded data sets. This article was authored by Martin Settmonds, Dirk Teder, Stefan Lang, and others.
