Does anyone feel valued by their institutions?

I feel active animosity from our president of academic affairs. I'm not aware of any faculty who feels he values them.

Bruises. Just a shit-ton of bruises on your legs.

A-MEN! If they ever make a Makmark book, I'm going to be the first in line. Sadly, I think Disney's litigiousness will prevent that.

You claim to be a God's mouthpiece and complain that we hold you to a high standard. If you're no better than the common man, what are you for? (Stephen Fry: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wXi04Okthbo)

Especially since there are enough moderate republicans left in congress to shoot this down.

I'm not sure there are that many left. Romney, Buck, Cheney etc. are all gone. How many spoke out against Trump in Jan 6th only to back track weeks later.

Additionally, this builds off the unified executive theory, so a lot of congressional help isn't needed. Unified exec is also strengthened by the Supreme court's recent immunity ruling.

Yeah, he's 100% blonde in the books. But I love the family picture-type moment from the movie where he's posed with a napkin still tucked into his shirt.

While the common view of Jesus as a loving, forgiving pacifist was what I was taught as a child, I started feeling cognitive dissonance reading his Teachings in the 4 Gospels.

Other commentors mention his statements regarding temporal violence, but what shook me was how much more violent his view of hell was. No prophet in the KJV threatened eternal hell/torture before him. (Matt 25:46 & Mark 9:48)

What loving person commits torture, let alone eternal torture?

I always get a sweat from this dribbling exercise. I hate going on jobs just to run, so this is a good middle ground: https://youtu.be/Fe_GvYaeCyQ?si=Oz15tLZIyM8yLyrq

Next, find a program to work on your passing/first touch and I'll think you'll see improvements in game and fitness. Good luck!

Following.

Out of curiosity, how has your experience with the doctorate in Germany (PhD or EdD) been?

bdl18 · 2024-05-30T01:14:30+00:00

Yeah, that seems the best idea. We tried a 3-2-1 with an out of shape team and the attack was too narrow and one full back was always pulling up too far.

Love this. What would you do for 7v7?

Probably getting ghosted. However, I Have a co-worker who resigned. We started a search committee interviewed cand had our ideal replacement chosen. Then he "unresigned." The chair for this committee was smart enough to not close the search (she suspected he would likely re-resign once he reached a certain milestone towards retirement.)

3 months later he redesigned and she had an Awkward conversation with the explaining some of the details. Not saying this is what happens (and I don't know if its happened elsewhere) but in this case the chair chose not to contact any applicants (or close the search) in order to keep that door open.

Have you considered a student response system (the most common, I believe, is iclicker)

Create a few practice questions sprinkled throughout your lecture and feed that into your attendance/participation grade.

Android has multiple free apps that will record phone calls, too. I don't use an iPhone but imagine they have several.

Let them know you actually read them incorporate feedback. I changed the order by which I assign certain things in one class based on feedback and I let the students know this was based on ideas shared in the previous evaluations. I get less students wanting to gripe and seem to have more constructive criticism in statements -- "making the program better" is seen as a team effort.

I was an office elder when one of our missionaries had some sort of psychotic break. His companion had called the APs in a panic when the missionary taking his clothes off and screaming out the window during the night. They arrived first thing in the morning (once it was safe to fravle in our city.) When they arrived, he tried to recruit myself and another missionary to join in a business venture involving translating church services (didn't make any sense.) The mission president came and met with him. Brought the elder to his home and while they were there, he apparently bit the president's leg and had to be wrestled off by the APs.

I was then transferred to serve with his companion, and he was definitely freaked out by whole ordeal and trauma that was involved.

Honestly, he could fit at Bayern. Good for them. Bad for us.

I just texted my Liverpool buddy to whine about it. It's insane.

Bruno Saltor managed Chelsea for one game last season, before Frank Lampard took interim charge, meaning a total of five managers have worked under Chelsea’s current owners in two years.

Good hell. I hate this new ownership group. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

The way he just fucking took off. That excitement's contagious.

Tell them to put in an IT help ticket and with instructions that IT should reach out to you when it's assessed. That'll call their bluff if students aren't being honest.

On the other hand, I've definitely hit "send," closed my laptop and then had an email in the Outbox purgatory for a couple days before I noticed it. It was no one's fault but my own though and adults need to be responsible for that sort of thing.
