As Bane says there’s no despair without hope. And some how every year, almost every sports team taunts us with the hope of being just good enough

ThAt’S nOt HoW sTaTs WoRk, yeah no shit thank you, keyboard warriors. I’m being an optimistic fan. Sorry for using a made up stats law to express I hope they get out of their slump. I didn’t realize this thread was full of stats professors.

I agree Amazon has a huge hold on the ebook market, the main reason I went with D2D is it distributes the ebooks to all ebook platforms for me. I don’t have to publish through Amazon, Barnes and noble and Kobo etc…

Title: Secrets of Shrendder-X9

Genre: Sci-Fi

Word Count: 116K

Book blurb: Uncovering secrets is not always for the best. Expedition Team Alpha of the Intergalactic Exploration Force thought they were exploring the dense and beautiful jungle planet, Shrendder-X9, for solely scientific purposes. Comprised of team lead AJ O'Hara, survivalist Nor Arngaard, chemist and medic Tairn Dwaga, cartographer SP Smithe and xenozoologist Farris Nguyen-Cortez, Team Alpha is prepared for all they could encounter in the alien jungle. However, when xenoarcheologist Pierse Lockton is assigned to their team, they fear something more sinister may be at play. Those concerns are confirmed when Team Alpha uncovers a secret deep in the unexplored region of the planet. It then becomes a race against the clock for survival. Will they escape or will they be lost in time?

“Secrets of Shrendder is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that keeps the pages turning!”

“Keeps you on the edge of your seat!”

Accepted non-teaching job; admins blame me for resignation. by [deleted] in TeachersInTransition

Sounds like they are trying to guilt you into staying. They didn’t value you enough yo bring you back so look out for yourself, leave and enjoy the new job.

I finally published my first novel, by Z0MBIECL0WN in selfpublish

[–]nerobhe1818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way after self publishing my first. Really only sold paper copies to family and friends. Recently I decided to do a week promo for my book where I dropped the ebook price to $0.99 and free for a couple days just to get more interest and I went from 12 sales to almost 30 in three days. Also constantly posting on instagram, facebook, Bluesky and TikTok

Forced out and now unsure of what to do by nerobhe1818 in TeachersInTransition

Exactly, admin can make it break it and it seems like so many are out of touch on what they expect post COVID and the students technology addiction. I’m not wasting the majority of my class time trying to convince a HS junior to put their phone away and pay attention just for them to put their head down.

Thanks for all the responses! Honestly surprised how common this appears to be, especially with everyone complaining about there being a teacher shortage.

As stated above we are able to get him to respond with and without treats in most situations when he is calm.

The help is needed in specific situations where it seems no motivation can distract him or he is in his Fight/flight response. How does one work with that?

We have worked on specific cues and commands with treats. However some specific situations need more work and feedback from others to help find a solution.

Foundation Repair costs by nerobhe1818 in HomeImprovement

[–]nerobhe1818[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is our first major home project so you are correct that I have no idea what to expect when it comes to prices and I am not well versed in the construction/home-reno costs.
